Iff THURSDAY EVENING. LAST EDITION TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCTOBER 24. 1901. THURSDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. BURTONJLITS BY. Faithful Follow the Senator to Kansas City. Will Be a Conference at Blossom House Tonight. AFRAID FOR 3IK. CRUM. Fear That Fight Will Be Opened on Him. How to Prevent Leland's Reap pointment Another Text. Senator Burton passed through Tope ka on the Union Pacific this afternoon, going to Kansas Citv. There is a bis coterie of Kansas politicians in Kansas City today to see Cresceus, the world champion racer do a mile, and after wards have a conference at the .Bios Bom House. From Kansas City the whole contin gent is coming to Topeka tomorrow at noon and another wrestling match witi political amenities will be held Friday and Saturday around the Copeland whispering gallery. Pat. Coney has given it out that he will be one of the senator's callers in this city, with Capt. John Seaton, May or Donald, A. W. Smith and ether Re publicans who started the chain letter through Kansas to prevent the appoint ment of Cyrus Leland as pension agent. The "boss-busters" desire to tell Sena tor Burton what progress they have made in the steps taken to present a protest to President Koosevelt and will ask him to ignore the compact Presi dent MeKinley made with Mr. Leland. when the latter permitted his appoint ment to be deterred until after another federal appointee had been named, and to again enter his senatorial protest against Mr. Leland. There is also expectation that some opponents of Lit Crum's appointment as United States marshal .-nay make 1 their appearance from the Third dis trict. All the other big federal ap pointments will be out of the way when the time comes to make the new United States marshal. Being last on the list 1ms its disadvantages on the nervous tension of the candidate. Crura has had several uneasy days of late on account of a mess or two he has been getting Into in his own district. He admits that there is a scent of trouble in the air. Crum went into the deal with Kd Oreer and others in the Fouthern border counties to bring out Petri Wells, of Erie, for state auditor. Wells was brought out with all the flourish of Burton friendliness back of ldm. It was patent, at once, to ob servers on the side that George Cole was blocked from going into the race for governor, if he so desired, should the Third district get behind Wells and demand the auditor's place in the state ticket for him. Crum denies any conspicuous connec tion with Wells' candidacy, but he is not playing in the same back yard with Cole any more. Ordinarily Crum would not be alarm ed by a break or two in the Third dis trict political family, but he has not landed the United States marshal's commission yet and he wants to steer clear of protests, if possible. One of the central counties in the district causes worriment of this kind, because It has the paper all drawn up and a man ready to start out with the circu lation of it. The men in the Third district are at the pitch where they want to talk "state ticket" and it will be a difficult matter to keep them from doing so at this conference. Senator Burton does not want to talk state ticket now. His lieutenants and friends have been go ing into the slate-making business too heavily and the exposes that have fol lowed each move have brought heavy blows on their heads with the bludgeon f criticism. They were compelled to (ret out from behind Richter's boom for governor and to drop the Scott boom almost as quickly as the schemes were hatched. ATE WITH WASHINGTON.

Port Townsend, Wash., Oct. 24. The steamship Portland arrived here at 1:30 this morning bringing 520 passengers and three tons of gold most of which came down the Yukon to St. Michael. Passengers arriving report that winter has practically set in and that the ice has begun to form along the shore at St. Michael. At Nome the scenes around the trans portation companies offices are most ex citing. Hundreds of people congregate, all seeking transportation and accommo dations of steamers due to sail are not nearly sufficient for the demand. The Portland had a rough passage down and owing to the crowded conditions there was much complaint from the passen gers. GETS $15,300. Jury in District Court Gives Miss Tauer All She Asks.

Every Seat in the Gunner's Workshop Filled Early In Anticipation of the Admiral's Appearance. CAPT. CLARK CALLED. Man Who Commanded the Ore gon Gives His Testimony. Usual Amount of Correcting Evidence Is Hone. Washington, Oct, 24, 2:06 p. m. Ad miral Schley was called to the stand iu the Schley court of inquiry. There was a flutter of excitement when the name of the rear admiral was called. When he took the stand and after giving his name and rank, he was requested by Mr. Rayher to re late his conduct of the campaign in narrative form. He began by relating the particulars of his taking command of the flying squadron at Hampton Roads, where he said "the general plan of campaign was thrashed out." He said that the captains of his squadron had diversified views, and he resolved to take the helm himself. The question of torpedoes in the fleet wa3 early discussed, and he decided the manner in which they should be cared for. Continuing he said: "I put the squadron immediately upon a war footing, established the matter of pickets and patrols, and also the mask ing of lights, which were under inspec tion on several occasions, to ascertain how effective and complete it was. At first there was some fault found. Later, I am glad to say, the masking was ab solutely complete, so that it was im possible when the shir were under way, in the column or line of battle, to distinguish any one at more than ordi nary distance from it." He had, he said, explained it would be impossible to arrange a general plan of battle, but he had explained to his commanders, that in a general way, it was his idea "to attack the head and leading ship of the enemy attacking us and concentrate the fire upon her. My reasons for this." he continued, "was two fold, the first being the moral effect upon the enemy and the seoond, the confusion it would create. The older plans for naval attack were to attack the center or rear of an enemy's fleet, which would result in the escape of some of the enemy's vessels. I felt that if we got the head, we would get the whole. 1 think this plan was vindicated by the result of the battle some six weeks or two months later," he said, concluding this point. He then related the details of the cruise to Key West and his meeting there w ith Admiral Sampson. "The ad miral was very much worn," he said, "and necessarily so, because his re sponsibility had been great. He showed me a number of orders, one of which was for a division of the two squad rons, one to take the north, and the other the south coast of Cuba, and he to have the preference. "1 asked which he preferred, and he expressed a preference for the Havana command. He told me confidentially that which ever command I should take I must remember not to attack heavily fortified places on the shore until the Spanish ships were disposed of; that we must not risk the ships until the Span ish fleet was out of the way. "We discussed Cervera's destination. He said that his information was that the orders of the Spanish squadron were to reach Havana or some point within railroad communication were imperative and he believed that Cien fuegos would be the point, as that came under the acceptation of the or der more directly. "We looked over maps and I must say that I agreed with him. I could not imag ine that anyone who had studied the m ilita ry situation of the island at all. could have supposed that Santiago would have ful filled any of the conditions of his instruc tions." "We had a talk together. I told him that I had been ordered to report for duty to Admiral Remy, which I imagined nec essarily meant himself and that I wanted to assure him at the outset that I should be loyal absolutely and unreservedly to the cause that we were both representing. Captain Chadwick, who was present. I don't remember all the time or not. said: 'Of course, commodore, any one who has known your character would know that it would be impossible for you to be other wise than loyal.' "I asked the admiral if there had been established any means of communicating with the insurgents, whether there were pilots, or whether any locality was known where they were to be found. He told me that he did not know, but that when he got the situation better in hand he would communicate with me and that he thought it would be better for me to proceed to the blockade of Cienfuegos as soon as possible. I said: 'Very well.' I was very glad, of course, to go anywhere. That terminated our conversation except so far as it related to complimentary allusions of such a visit." The admiral then said he left the New York and went to his own flagship in or der to hasten the operation of coaling. Later the Algonquin came out with an or der from the secretary of the navy to Commodore Rerny directing the witness to proceed to Havana. Admiral Schley said he signalled Ad miral Sampson and the latter said he un derstood that his (Sampson's) coming to Kev West modified his (Schley's) orders and instructing him to carry out the plans agreed upon. The admiral then described the coaling of his squadron which, he said, was a more tedious task than it be came later. He told of the amount of coal his ships had and said that between 7 and S o'clock on the morning of the 19th he sailed for Cienfuegos. The admiral then read the order under which he had sailed from Key West. In this order Admiral Sampson had told Commodore Schley that he should estab lish a blockade at Cienfuegos with the least possible delay and had said that af ter he had the information more in hand he would write the commodore. "Under the direction of this order my squadron got under way." he said, and then he re lated the details of the cruise to Cienfue gos. That same night he bad fallen In with McCalla and his sub-squadron. McCalla had sent the Eagle to intercept him and had himself asked permission to pass on. He had sent the Scorpion to meet the Eagle and the former vessels had reported as was recorded In its log. "That." he seid. "is all the Information she gave us. After this the" Eagle came within hail, telling us that there was no news. I feel very positive that this was the case. Jt seems burnt into my mind, but from what I have heard I begin to think I may pos sibly be mistaken." Washington, Oct. 24. Every availa- I ble unreserved seat iri the large room In the gunners workshop at the navy yard where the Schley court of inquiry is sit ting, was occupied half an hour today before the court was called to order at 11 o'clock. The announcement of the approaching close ot the case and of the possibility that Admiral Schley would take the witness stand during the day had the effect of increasing the public interest and of bringing to the court room a larger number of persons than could be conveniently accommoda ted and a far larger number than could hear the proceedings. When the session began a number of yesterday's witnesses were recalled, as usual for the correction of testimony and after they had, concluded Lieut. Commander Charles H. Harlow contin ued his testimony. He had concluded his statement in chief when the court adjourned yesterday and he was Imme- JtSTi -sr; lit 2 M' "Jr- J!-. -V -"..Vi J I "--ITS fill Cji c S:-

ADMIRAL diately taken In nand today by Capt. Lemly for cross-examination. This was devoted principally to the notes taken by Mr. Harlow of the battle of July 3 fro.n the Vixen's deck, but was not very extended. After Commander Harlow, Rear Ad miral Barker and Capt. M. C. Borden of the marines, were introduced to tes tify to incidents of the Cuban cam paign. Capt. Charles E. Clark, whose record on the Oregon during the campaign of '98 is the boast of every American citi zen, was called as the third witness of the day, and the last witness in Admir al Schley's behalf to be heard before the admiral himself, should come on. WELLS RECALLED. Lieutenant B. Wr. Wells was the first of former witnesses called for the pur pose of correcting testimony. He said in response to a question from Captain Lemly that he had made a translation of cipher dispatch prepared at Commo dore Schley's instance on May 24, 1898, but which was never Bent and to which reference was made while Lieutenant Wells was on the stand yesterday. "Was the dispatch sent?" asked Ad miral Dewey, and when he was told that it had not been, the admiral said it was not relevant. "We only want the facts," he said. Captain Lemly and Mr. Hanna con tended for its admission. Mr. Hanna said that this dispatch was more ad missible than was the commodore's dis patch giving an account of the battle of July 3 which was not sent and which had been ruled out. Admiral Dewey then told Captain Lemly and Mr. Hanna that they could ask questions bearing upon any sup posed conversation with Commodore Schley, but ruled again that the dis patch itself could not be Introduced. In response to a question by Mr. Ray ner, Major Murphy detailed an incident, in which Commodore Schley figured at the close of the battle of July 3. SCHLEY'S LITTLE SPEECH. Major Murphy said: "I remember the incident distinctly because it made a very great impression on me at the time. It was when they were prepar ing a cutter to take Captain Cook to the Colon to receive the surrender of that ship. She had hauled down her flag and was ashore. The officers and many of the men vere gathe.-ed for ward in the neighborhood of the fore castle and Commodore Schley address ed the men cautioning them not to cheer when the Spanish captain came on board. He spoke of their gallantry, that they had made a good fight and that they should not be humiliated; that we should treat them chivalrously and not humiliate them by cheers. It was a gallant speech, and we all felt it very deeply. The commodore made the same speech about midnight of the same day when we were ranging along side the Iowa and we had learned that Admiral Cervera and his officers were on board that ship. It afterward de veloped that Admiral Cervera heard Commodore Schley make the remark and he appreciated it very much, so we were told." In reply to a question from Captain Lemly the witness said that he remem bered the incident of Commodore Schley's transferring his flag from the Brooklyn to the Massachusetts on May 31 for the purpose of making a recon noissance, the Vixen having been used for that purpose. He had, he said, seen the Commodore both going and coning and had spoken to him on his return. "What if anything was said when re turning, about the guns that were dis covered, or developed?" "A remark was made. I think, by myself, that any rate, we had developed the batteries. Commodore Schley re plied that "that was what we went in for.' A remark was also made by Com modore Schley about a ten inch gun on a disappearing carriage, which we did not believe. We found afterward the disappearing carriage was a tree." SATS SCHLEY LOOKED AD. "WThat was the manner and bearing of Commodore Schley upon this occa sion?" "Commodore Schley looked bad, and as I would have suspected from a man who probably had been up a great deal at night and laboring under a great deal of feeling of responsibility. From the impression at the time he seemed to be seriously affected by the situation as a result of his watching and feeling of responsibility." "Have you ever said in regard to this matter and at this time thpt b "wa worried over the situation; that there is no doubt but what Schley was wor ried over the situation and afraid to take the responsibility?" "I said that in my own private notes, my diary, as my opinion at the time." Mr. Rayner called attention to this answer and said that the witnesses' opinion was not evidence. Admiral Dewey: "The question was eminently proper. The answer went a little too far. Answer that question, not from your opinion." The witness: "Of course I shall have to limit my reply to that by saying he looked badly." The witness added that he did not know from what cause. After argument by counsel on both Sides, in which Capt. Lemly referred to Mr. Rayner as "the would-be gov ernor of Maryland," the witness said that he had referred in his testimony judge advocate. He was then asked if Commodore Schley was nervous, to a letter which he had written to the SCHLEY. Notwithstanding that Mr. Rayner objected, the question was admitted, and the witness answered that he was not nervous. A similar reply was made to a ques tion as to whether the commodore was excited. Describing the course of the Brooklyn during the battle of July 3, the witness said: "I saw the Brooklyn receiving and turning all the fire of the two leading ships with an occasional shot from the Colon. I was in a position to see a flash, and shortly afterward the fall of the projectile and these showed that a large proportion was about the Brook lyn. The Colon evidently was using smokeless powder and I was not able to tell so well where her shots fell." The witness said he was satisfied that the fire from the Brooklyn set the Viscaya on fire and caused her to run ashore. There was no other American ship within range of the Viscaya at that time he said. The Maria Teresa, the witness said was driven ashore by the concentrated fire of all the ships of the American fleet. 'The Oquendo was so far in the rear he could not estimate what vessels caused her destruction. In response to a question by the court, Commander Harlow said that the Vix en was able to maintain the standard speed of 9 knots an hour while with the fleet in the voyage from Cienfuegos to Santiago. He also said in response to a question by the court, that with searchlights the Vixen was near enough to the mouth of the harbor at Santiago to see the enemy's ships in case of an effort at escape. The court also asked: "Were there any vessels of our fleet between the Brooklyn and the Spanish vessels at any time priror to the turn made by the Brooklyn" "No, I should say there was not." The witness also said that he did not consider that the Texas was near enough to the Brooklyn at the time of the loop to render a collision liable and that he thought the Viscaya made an effort to ram. CLARK ON THE STAND. Lieutenant Harlow was then excused and Captain C. E. Clark of the Oregon called. Captain Clark described the chase after the Spanish ships on July 3 and said he was afraid at one time the Ore gon would have to sustain the con centrated Are of several of the Spanish ships. Just then the smoke lifted and he discovered the Brooklyn. "She was well forward of our port beam," he said, "and broadside of the enemy's fleet. The two vessels retained their relative posi tions approximately to the end of the battle, the Brooklyn steaming near straight ahead I should judge and en gaging any and all of the Spanish ships, the Oregon endeavoring to come to close action with the sternmost one and when she was driven out of action, we kept on after the next one." Captain Clark described a conversa tion that occurred in the cabin of the New York after the battle of July 3, be tween Sampson, Schley and himself. A strange vessel had been sighted and it was believed to be a Spanish war ship. Admiral Sampson told the witness that he would have to go after her and the witness, thinking the stranger was a Spanish man of war, suggested that the Brooklyn accompany the Oregon. Then, thinking that he had been too forward in making suggestions to an admiral and a commodore he turned to Commo dore Schley and said: "We knocked out several vessels this morning and can knock out another one, can't we?" "Certainly we can; come on," said Commodore Schley. The witness said the commodore was cheerful and seemed to have approved his suggestion that the Brooklyn accompany the Oregon. CLARK TELLS HIS STORY. Captain of the Oregon Describes Vivid ly the Battle of Santiago. Washington, Oct. 24. The large audience at the Schley court of inquiry manifested signs of interest as the cap tain of the Oregon approached the wit ness stand. Admiral Dewey smiled as he walked around to the end of the ta ble to administer the oath. Captain Clark at first spoke in an undertone and was two or three times required to raise his voice. This he did as he progressed and soon was distinctly heard in the vicinity of the court. At the request of Mr. Rayner he be gan a description of the battle of July 3 as follows: "When he discovered the Spanish (Continued on Sixth Page. WATER JUST PAY Contention of Chicago School Teachers Is Sustained. Supreme Court Upholds Deci sion of Court Below. MILLIONS ARE ADDED To the Taxable Property of the Western Metropolis. Capital Stock of Corporations Declared to Be Assessable. Springfield, 111., Oct. 24. The supreme court today affirmed the judgment of the circuit court of Sangamon county in what is known as the Chicago teach ers tax case. This in effect awards a writ o mandamus against the state board of equalization, to compel it to assess the capital stock including fran chises of 20 Chicago corporations, the fair cash value of whose capital stock including franchises over and above the value of their tangible property, is al leged to aggregate $235,000,0G0.Followlng are the corporations directly affected: Chicago City Railway company; West Chicago Street Railroad coupany; North Chicago Street Railroad com pany ;Chicago Union Traction company: Peoples Gas, Light Coke company; Chicago Telephone company; Chicago Edison company; Chicago Consolidated Traction company; Chicago Electric Transit company; Chicago Jeiferson Urban Transit company; t Evanston Electric Railway company; Cicero .fc Proviso Street Railway company ;North Chicago Electric Railway company; North Side Electric Street Railway company; Ogden Street Railway com pany; Chicago North Shore Street Rail road company; South Chicago City Railway company ;Chicago West Divis ion Railway company; Chicago Passen ger Railway company and North Chi cago City Railway company. This case was instituted by the state's attorney of Sangamon county at the instance of the Chicago Teachers' Fed eration. It was for a writ of manda mus to compel the state board of equalization to assess the foregoing corporations, which it was alleged, hsd hitherto escaped taxation by the board. The court holds that the board in as sessing corporations does not act as a board of review, but as an original as sessor and that the performance of its duty to assess the fair cash value of capital stock, including franchises over and above the value of tangible prop erty, may be enforced by mandamus. Instead of making a proper assessment, the court says that the board arbitrari ly and wiHully failed to follow a proper and long established rule in force in this state for making such assessments, by refusing to take into considera tion, in making such assessments, the bonded indebtedness of said cor porations. They also disregarded all other rules for the making of such as sessments in force at the time of this petition and for the purpose of evading their duty, sought to pass new rules for their government in making said valua tions and assessments, and refused to consider the information then before them, furnished to them by the asses sors, as provided by statute and assess ed the capital stock and franchises of said corporations at a nominal sum, in stead of at the fair cash value thereof. The opinion quotes the order of the low er court as follows: "And it is further considered and direct ed by the court that you, the said state board and the members thereof, be, and are. hereby commanded to convene forth with at the capitol building in the county of Sangamon, and that you there forth with value and assess the capital stock, including the franchise, of each of said companies herein named as of April 1, 1900. in the manner provided by latf. so as to ascertain and determine respectively as to each of said corporations the fair cash value of its capital stock, including its franchise, over and above the assessed value of the tangible property of such company for the year 1900." It is further ordered that in arriving at such valuation and assessments of the capital stock, including the franchises of said companies hereinbefore named, the said board and each member thereof shall from the best information obtainable by it ascertain and take into considera tion, among other things, as to each cor poration as the same was on the first day of April. 1900. the market value, or, if no market value, then the fair cash value of its shares of stock and the total amount of all its indebtedness except the indebtedness for current expenses, ex cluding from such expenses that amount paid for the purchase or the improvement of property and the assessed or equalized valuation of all tangible property of said corporations, respectively, on said April 1, 1900, and you are further commanded td direct the respective assessments so made to be certified by the said auditor of publipr.accounts to the county clerk of Cook county that the taxes for all pur poses thereon may be extended by said clerk for the year 1900. Tfou are further commanded to make return to this court on the 12th day of June. 190), in what manner you have complied with this or der. The court does not by its said order and judgment undertake to control the discretion or judgment of the respondents in the valuation or assessment of the cap ital stock, including the franchises of said corporations. It only lays down the rules of law which govern and the methods to be pursued by the respondents in mak ing such valuation and assessment. This we think proper. We have been asked by the petitioner to fix the date when a return to the writ should be made. Such order is not neces sary. T'nder section 32 of the "Practice Act." upon filing in the trial court a cer tified copy of the order of the affirmance, the same will operate as precedence and that court will become reinvested with jurisdiction and may proceed as though no appeal had been taken. Finding no re versible error in this record the judgment of the circuit court will be affirmed. APPLIES TO RAILROADS. Chicago, Oct. 24. The tax decision given today by the Illinois supreme cOurt re lates to twenty-three local corporations enjoying municipal franchises, including traction companies, gas companies and electric companies, whose total capital stock was estimated to be worth $3i.O0O. 000, all of which had escaped taxation previously andwas likely to be omitted again bv the state board, which ad journed last December without assessing this vast amount of property. The trial of the case was begun before Judge Thompson in Springfield. March 23. and the decision was handed down May 2. commanding the board to reassemble June 13 and assess these corporations in accordance with the rules of the board in regard to the assessment of capital stock. But the board not only neglected to make the assessment, but repealed the rules of the board on the subject which had been in force for thirty years and had been sustained by the United States supreme court as the only fair and legal plan of assessment. What was considered the weak point in the Teachers' case was that the man damus was asked while the board was still in session and while it was protesting that it meant to do the very thing which the mandamus required. The teachers' contention was that the board was a con tinuing body and that it had refused for years to make these assessments and that if a mandamus could not issue until after the board had adjourned it might as well never be issued at all, and there waa ab solutely no way to com pel the board to perform its manifest duty. The teachers' view of the case seems to have been sus tained by the supreme court. Broad as is the sweep of this decision in itself, its logical results are much greater, as the decision, it is said, really applies just as well to railroad corpora tions and every other corporation In the state and may lead to the collection of back taxes.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Btbdp of Figs, manufactured by the California Fw Sykcp Co., illustrate the value of obtaining' the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing' to the taste arid acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening- laxa tive, cleansing- the system effectually, dispelling- colds, headaches and fevers g-ently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting-on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating- them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing- figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California" Fis Syrup Co. only.

Pennsylvania left for Chicago Wednes day night in a special car over the Penn sylvania road. Phil King, the "University of Wisconsin football and baseball coach, has been ad mitted to practice law in the Wisconsin supreme court. It has been decided that the Nebraska Wisconsin football game will be played at Milwaukee instead of at Madison. The date of the contest is November 22. The University of 'Pennsylvania team will have played three games this wee'k when Saturday's supper time comes around. Besides the middles, Gettysburg and Chicago are to bump into the red and blue line. Columbia's football squad has dwindled down to about 3D men since the discour aging outcome of the game with Harvard. The team is also sadly crippled by fac ulty restrictions. Captain Berrien will probably be debarred from playing for the rest of the season. The plan of using big, heavy men at tackle this season has been adopted by all of the leading eastern teams. The coaches realize that tackle is the most vulnerable point in the line and the man in that position often has to bear the brunt of the attack unaided, while the three center men can protect each other. Ex-Captain Daly of Harvard, the great quarterback who is now playing with the West Point eleven, was the only man in the game Saturday between Kernan of Harvard and touchdown. He tried to make a f ying tackle, but failed and thus one of his old teammates was allowed to score against the cadets. Coach Woodruff of Pennsylvania has in vented a new kick-off. The ball is placed on the ground with the broad side toward the goal posts and one end higher than the other. The ball is kicked on the up per end, which sends it in a semicircle. If it strikes the ground it bounds back instead of rolling forward. This gives the Pennsylvania ends who have gone down on the kick a better opportunity to get the ball than the other players. Considerable has been said for and against the crouching start introduced by Coach Warner of the Carlisle Indian eleven about three seasons ago and now used by the University of Illinois. Those who have seen the crouching start in use know thnt the backs get off in the same way as do sprinters when they start in a race. The first effects of this method in practice can be only beneficial. The requi sites of a good back are, above all things, that he be able to start quickly and then run low, sticking his head and not his stomach into the line. They have been exceptions where men of peerless ability in bucking the line have run high. Perry Hale of Yale was a high runner, as was also Shirley KUis of Harvard. Van Doozer of Northwestern was never a low runner, although he thought that a man could gain more ground when low. From a crouching start the player strikes the line low and when under good momentum. Coach King of the University of Wis consin eleven has ordered that nothing be said hereafter about the dazzling end runs of Cochems unless the men who fur nish his excellent interference be men tioned at the same time. This is a wise action on the part of King, although he can hardly control those things which are said and written about a player who is so conspicuous as Cochems. As a matter of fact Cochems deserves but little credit for the sensational runs which he makes around the ends. He would be utterly un able to make them were it not for the perfect interference which his team mates give him. They protect him so completely that the opposing tacklers can not get their hands on the fleet runner. When the men who form the interference are not mentioned in the reports and all of the glory is given to Cochems King fears that they will become disgusted and refuse to give Cochems the interference they are capable of.

The meet ing will last three days, concluding with a banquet in Alasonic hall. The pro gramme issued yesterday is a work of art. Myron Waterman, who is a Scot tish Rite Mason as well as an artist, drew the pictures for this programme, and it is one of the prettiest of Masonic souvenirs. Lafayette Lodge of Perfection will be gin the work Tuesday morning. Vic tory chapter Rose Croix will have the second day, and the third day's session will be divided between the Knights of Kadosh and Caswell consistory.

Is it any wonder they want their neighbors to know about'it A Topeka citizen speaks. Mr. Thomas Davis of 215 West Sixth street, barber, says: I had kidney complaint more or less fo.r twenty years. The pain was not always severe, but there was a constant weak and tired out feeling which deprived me of all ambi tion. I was nervous and restless, and could not sleep. The action of the kidneys was not regular, and became much worse whenever I caught cold. Various remedies I tried did not give me any permanent relief, and when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice I got a bottle at Rowley Snow's drug store. The use of the one box brought such good results tbat I continued the treatment until I took five in all. They completely cured me." Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale at all drug stores. 50c a box Fostcr-Milbvrn HAS MEN ENOUGH. It Is Believed That Chaffee Can Han die the Philippine Trouble. Washington, Oct. 24.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJEHSTAI THURSDAY EVENIN"G. OCTOBER 24, 1501.' railroad; NEWS. Rumor of a Bock Island Line to St. Louis. Said to Be the Next Construc tion to Be Done. PROGRESSIVE POLICY. Bock Island Bias Been Making Bapid strides. St. Louis Has Long Been ObjectiTe Point. an The next piece of construction -work aid to be decided upon by the man agement of the Rock Island railway is a. line between Kansas City and St. Louis. This line, plans for which axe being discussed, will be ready for use auring the world's fair, to be held there In 1903. The Rock Island railway company Is pursuing an aggressive policy. During Ihe past eighteen months several hun dred miles of road have been completed, and men are constantly at work extend ing the lines. The new line to El Paso from Liberal, Kas., will shorten the route to the City of Mexico and points reached in that territory a matter of Borne 200 miles. The work of extending the lines south in the Indian Territory and Oklahoma has been no inconsider able part of the work. The new lines of the road in this territory were the means of throwing an immense amount of business to it during the opening and the settlement of the government land. The Rock Island has been one of the most progressive roads during its existence, and its earnings during the past two years have perhaps been larger on the amount of money invest ed than that of any other road. The matter of increasing the road wherever possible will not be slighted. A line from Kansas City to St. Louis would be of incomparable value to the Rock Island. It would give it a direct line to a connecting point with some of the larger eastern trunk lines that do not touch Chicago. This would be of direct value to the road in the trans fer of freight as well as passengers in both directions. In the eastern move ment the products of Kansas and Colo rado and the southern states touched by the Rock Island would have an east ern outlet at St. Louis, and the haul would be entirely over Rock Island lines instead of the business being di vided with other lines. The western movement of manufactured goods would of course be of equal advantage and value to the Rock Island. Another and important reason for the construction of the line is the fact that St. Louis is an admirable terminal from the passenger standpoint. Then again, the world's fair that is to be held there In 1903 will furnish business for all the roads in no uncertain quantities. At that time the advantage of a line be tween Kansas City and St. Louis, if it were not In existence, would be keenly felt. MEETING OF MECHANICS Initial Gathering Will Be Held in Topeka Saturday. Upon the suggestion of George R. Henderson, assistant superintendent of machinery, a series of meetings of the master mechanics and road foremen of engines for the discussion of topics re lating to their work will be held during the fall and winter. The first of these Is to take place next Saturday morning at nine o'clock at the railroad Y. M. C. A. and will be attended by all of that class of men on the Santa Fe east of Dodge City and north of Galveston. Tex. The subjects to come up for considera tion are: "Prevention of Engine Failures," sug gested by Geo. W. Smith. "Consumption of Fuel, and Economy In Same," suggested by A. L. Eeardsley. "Duties and Responsibilities of Engi neers in Connection with Firing En gines," suggested by J. F. Roddy.

This plan of holding meetings among the men of the mechanical department is new on the Santa Fe, although It has been practiced on the Chicago and Northwestern and one or two other eastern roads for some time. L a NEWMARCH QUITS. Resigns Foremanship of Santa Fe Machine Shop. I. C. Newmarch.foreman of the Santa Fe machine shop, has resigned effective November 1. For about two months he has been, in Philadelphia, Pa., Inspect ing new engines which were being built at the Baldwin Locomotive works, and he will go to Raleigh, N. C, to take the position of foreman or the Seaboard Air Line at that place. Mr. Newmarch came here from a Ca nadian road last spring. He is regard ed as a man of excellent Judgment along mechanical lines and It was for this reason that he was selected to look after the interests of the company In Philadelphia while the new locomotives were being constructed. He came here during the time that Third Vice Presi dent Barr, Assistant Superintendent of Machinery Sanderson and General Shop Foreman Hickey were connected with the road, and naturally the occasion was not the most auspicious. Barr, Sanderson and Hickey are already with the Seaboard Air Line. William Barnes, who has been acting as foreman of the machine shop during his absence, is expected to continue in that capacity. He is an old employe of the company at this place and has filled the place acceptably. The resignation of Mr. Newnaarch was foreshadowed in the State Journal about two months ago. At that time Mr. Newmarch himself admitted that he had resigned, but for some reason he rescinded the action and soon after ward went east. He and his family have been there since and it is proba ble that he had an understanding to withhold the resignation until the work on the locomotives was completed. CONNECT WITH SANTA FE. Short Lino Building Tracks at Colo rado Springs. Colorado Springs, Oct. 24. The Short Line will make connections with the Santa Fe and Colorado Southern in this city by a system of sidetracks, which it has been decided to build very soon. This will be according to the original plan of the Short Line, it having se cured a franchise for the construction of this track a year and a half ago. It is given out that the construction of this spur connecting the Short Line with the Santa Fe in the local yards does not mean that the Short Line's traffic arrangements with the Denver Rio Grande have been annulled. The Denver Rio Grande will continue to do business with the Short Line as heretofore, as the relations of the two roads have been very satisfactory. The story published by a Denver paper to the effect that the Short Line was mak ing new arrangements for the handling of all its freight and passenger business at this point is not given credence local ly, and there Is no good reason to be lieve that the Denver Rio Grande will be materially affected by the building of a sidetrack from the Short Line to the Santa Fe. Both roads have been exchanging freight business for some time, but it has been inconvenient to make the transfer of cars. For this reason a spur will be built, running un der the Denver Rio Grande tracks near the coal chutes in the south end of town and thence east, connecting with the Santa Fe. President Ripley and Vice President Morton of the Santa Fe were in the city for a few minutes last week, and were met at the station by President Howbert and Traffic Manager Henry of the Short Line. This conference, how ever, was of a social nature, but no doubt the building of the spur was dis cussed, and it has since been decided to build it. DEAL IS CLOSED. Santa Fe Has Absorbed the Santa Fe, Frescott Phoenix. It is announced from Chicago that the Santa Fe has completed the deal for the absolute control of the Santa Fe, Pres cott Phoenix road, which has long been rumored. The Santa Fe has pur chased the capital stock, large blocks of second mortgage bonds, and the con trol of the Phoenix road is now said to be vested in the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe, Prescott Phoenix Is 225 miles long. It has 12 locomotives and over 100 cars. It extends from Ash Fork, Ariz., on the Santa Fe main line, through Prescott to Phoenix. The south end of the S. P. P. is near the end of Gila valley, which has recently been explored by Santa Fe officials and engineers with a view to building through it to a Pacific seaport in south ern California. Such a line would ex tend through an immensely rich and undeveloped country. The purchase of the S. P. P. by the Santa Fe strengthens the belief that some such move is on foot. The Santa Fe. Prescott Phoenix is through the midst of rich mining lands, and taps the Salt river valley, which is a fertile agricultural region. VANDERBILT WANTS IT. Inspecting the Bock Island With View of Purchasing. Chicago, Oct. 24. The Chronicle says today: It is the prevailing opinion in local railway circles that the inspec tion trips of Cornelius Vanderbilt and other eastern financiers over the Great Western and Rock Island roads means more than has been given out by those interested. That the Great Western is for sale is the Harriman syndicate is preparing to meet Mr. Stickney's terms and take over that strategically located little system. Many are also of the opinio.-, that the same syndicate has its eye on the Rock Island property, one of the few remaining independent systems. On his inspection trip of the Great Western yesterday Mr. Vanderbilt was accompanied by W. A. Reed, the New York financial agent of that road. The Great Western is practically the only road in the Chicago-St. Paul district that has escaped the managers of the "community of interest" scheme. The road is so situated that it can cause its stronger competitors any amount of rate trouble. It is to secue it and clinch rate trouble. It is to secure it and clinch west that it is believed Harriman is planning. It is also said that th other great combination, the Morgan-Hill in terests, has been feeling for the Great Western, and this has stirred the Har riman people to renewed efforts to -tain possession of the line. Today Mr. Vanderbilt, with Ogden Mills, A. R. Flower, H. H. Hollister, Henry Siebert and Richard M. Hoe, ajl of New York, will Inspect a part of the Rock Island system. LAYING HEAVY BAILS. Bock Island Improving Its Line to Wichita. Wichita, Oct 24. The Rock Island is making a very substantial improve ment in their system running Into Wich ita. Within a week the force of track men will be laying new steel rails into the city. The present rails weigh only sixty pounds and the new ones weigh eighty and eighty-five pounds to the yard. This will increase the solidity of the tracks in a very marked degree. Yesterday afternoon the force was lay ing the rails into Kechi. They are lay ing track at the rate of a mile a day and at that rate will be in Wichita next Tuesday. WELLS, FARGO TO BUILD. New Express Depot Will Be Erected at Wichita, Wichita, Kas., Oct. 24. The Wells, Fargo Express company has completed all arrangements for their new office building and freight house just south of the Santa Fe depot. Work will be begun as soon as the material arrives in the city. This has been ordered and is expected here any day. The new building will be two stories high and will contain storage rooms and also offices and the sleeping rooms for the clerks at the depot. It will be erected but a few feet south of their present office, and it is the intention of the company to have the new build ing ready for use by the 15th of De cember. BACK TO NEW YORK. George Gould Hastily Summoned Home From Colorado. Denver, Colo., Oct. 24. George Gould and party, who have been in the Du rango section for several days inspect ing the Rio Grande property, and sight seeing, will start for New York tomor row. It is said Mr. Gould intended to visit several other points of interest, but telegrams received today made it necessary to change his plans. Shops Moved From Wichita. The Arkansas City Traveller says: "Foreman Al Gethric, of the division carpenter shops on the Santa Fe, which were formerly located in Wichita, will have the moving of these shops to Ar kansas City completed by Thursday night of this week. The shops have been in Wichita for a number of years and just recently it was decided to move them to this city. The advantage of this place over Wichita for the shops is that they are more centrally located on Okla homa division where the services of the carpenters are required. "The carpenters will be housed In some buildings moved up from the San ta Fe yards and erected behind the freight depot. "The shops and force has been con siderably cut down in the past few years and most of the work which for merly came into the hand3 of this de partment has been turned over to the bridge and building department. How ever, four carpenters are still retained in the shops and they will move their families to the city as soon as possible. "Besides the carpenters there also come the water service men who num ber four and who have a building near the carpenter shop. In addition to these two painters who are employed by the company in connection with the carpen ter shops, will also be brought to this city and their shops will be adjoining the one used by the carpenters." Will Begin Construction Soon. Albuquerque. N. M., Oct. 24. The building of the Santa Fe Central rail road is a certainty and the promoters are very anxious to get started on the construction work. It is expected the engineers will have completed their labors before January 1, after which the graders and track layers will begin their work. The prospects are favor able for the extension of a line from this city to a connection with the Santa Fe Central at a point about 40 miles east at Pinos Wells, with the Rock Isl and system. Work Commenced on New Bailroad. Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct, 24. Men and teams were put to work Wednes day morning on the farm of John Mc Laughlin, south of the city, and the first ground was broken for the con struction of the Oklahoma City Western railway from here to Acme, Tex., 202 miles. Within thirty days a force of 2,000 men and teams will be at work all along the line. The road is to be completed and in running opera tion by April, 1902. Directors For Bio Grande Southern. Denver, Colo., Oct. 24. At the annual meeting of the Rio Grande Southern railroad stockholders in this city the following directors were elected: George J. Gould. New York: Howard Gould, New York; Arthur Coppell. New York; Clarence Buckingham, Chicago; El ward T. Jeffery, Denver; S. N. Wood, Denver; Otto Mears, Washington. George Gould is chairman of the board. Increase the Division Force. Oklahoma City, Oct. 24. S. H. Barnes, superintendent of the South McAlester division of the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulf railroad, was in the city Saturday making arrangements for increasing the force of employes on this division. The traffic of the road has increased so rapidly that the company will have to make arrangements almost to double the force. J. H. Banker Comes to Santa Fe. J. H. Banker has taken charge of the bridge, building and water service work on the Colorado division of the Santa Fe, under Superintendent R. J. Parker, having resigned a similar position on the G. C. S. F. He will not move his family to Pueblo before Christmas. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. Machinist James Cowdrey laid oft Wednesday. George Sherman of the water service is laying off sick. J. B.

Humphrey, traveling passenger agent ior tne Lajce snore ana uicugan Southern, with headquarters at Kansas City, was in Topeka Wednesday. Henry C. Hall, who has hal a job in the locomotive stripping gang under Jas. Mullen, has been transferred to Jenks' gang in the east shop as a helper. Rev. Frank Mallory, pastor of the Third Presbyterian church, will tell about "Some Surprises in Religion" at the Rail road Y. M. C. A. next Sunday afternoon. Henry Winfield, who has had a job in the roundhouse at night, has quit. Victor Bloomquist, a brother of Carl Bloom quist, a wiper, has been put on in his place. Jack Minrow, dispatcher for the Santa Fe at Emporia, was in Topeka Wednes day on his way east on a short vacation trip. So far the dispatchers have not been moved from that town. Four or five of the apprentices in the machine shop sre planning to reduce the population of the coons up the Kaw about next Saturday. They expect to make Menoken the western limit of the hunt. Vainer Garlinghouse of the brass foun dry, who was kicked on the leg by a horse a few days ago, is still in bed. What is believed to be an abscess has formed and he will probably be laid up for some time. About twenty-five couples, mostly shop men and their wives, gathered the other evening at the home of Floyd Newberry, on Davies street, the event being his 25th birthday anniversary. Dancing was the principal diversion of the evening. John Young, a machinist in the south shop, was obliged to go to the hospital Wednesday because of "an ear which has been affected and a trouble to him for a while. It is not believed that he will find it necessary to lay off any length of time. Since the reduction to a nine-hour day in the storehouse that department has been overdone in the attempt to accom plish in that time what formerly was done in ten hours. Between 25 and 30 men have been working overtime, some of them un til 7 d. m. John Peronto, a boilermaker, formerly employed in the shops here, but who late ly returned from San Bernardino, Cal., where he had been seriously ill, is stead ily improving and will go west again about November 1. He will probably try for a job at La Junta William Sherman, grandfather of Wm. and George Sherman. Santa Fe engine men running out of Topeka, is here from Lake Geneva, Wis., for a visit with his kin. He is 13 years old, but is remarkably well preserved and made the trip from his home to this place alone. William Amos, who went to Chicago about two months ago to inspect the axles of cars being built lor the Santa Fe, has returned. The company ran short of ma terial for the construction, and as it was uncertain when work could be resumed, Amos came home to remain until there should be some need for his services. George Cooper, a machinist in Mitch ell's gang in the east shop, will go east next month to inspect engines which the Santa Fe has contracted for in the Amer ican Locomotive works at Pittsburg, Pa. An appointment of this kind can only be complimentary to the man receiving it be cause none but those most competent are able to do the work satisfactorily. Oil is to take the p!ace of coal as a fuel on the boats which the Santa Fe has been plying between Point Richmond and San Francisco. There are four of these steamers ivhich do the business for the company, both passenger and freight. Pe troleum is already being used by the rail, roads in California for this purpose and lately a great many engines have been equipped for this purpose. Word was received from Ted Montgom ery, a Topeka boy who is assistant chief electrician on board the United States battleship Concord. The vessel is now on the California coast, expecting to be or uered south to help protect American in terests in Central America. Fcr that rea son Montgomery probably will not get to visit his relatives in Kansas until later. He has been gone from here a good many months. Pat Griffin has been elected captain and Elmer Hunter secretary of the shop fire department. Other officers are: William Snyder, chief, and Waiter Campbell as sistant chief. Saturday the men will get out for a little practice and after that it is likely that they will be kept in regular training. A thousand feet of new hose has been ordered and repairs have been begun to improve the conditions under which these men are to fight tire. When the boilermakers move over into their new building it is expected that the brass foundry will get possession of the room now occupied oy tnem. At present the brass workers have their headquarters at the extreme north end of the shop on the river bank. Recently the volume of business for the brass workers has great ly increased and by the time the old boiler shop is vacated an enlargement of the plant will be almost imperative. O. Swanson. who has the- contract for building five of the new ice houses for the Santa Fe, has already ordered the material for them and as soon as possible will begin their erection. They are to be located at Emporia, Wellington, Ar kansas City, Purcell and Hutchinson. Next Monday Mr. Swanson will take a gang of carpenters to Lecompton to begin the building of the new depot at that place. This job has been held up on ac count of a delay in the arrival of material but a portion of the stuff is now on the ground and it is expected that the work will proceed without any further inter ruption. Water service men are putting in the concrete for the new furnaces in the new blacksmith shop. It is said that this job will require about ten car loads of mater ial and a cood deal of work before it is finished. The heat from the fires will be utilized by having it pass through boilers which are to be located directly above, and in this way steam will be supplied for running the hammers and other mo tive purposes. In the old shop there is only one of the furnaces thus equipped, but the result is such as to show what a saving can be attained by the proposed plan for the new building. Contractor Swanson has begun already the hanging of the doors. Seven members of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. left this morning over the Missouri Pacific for Fort Scott to attend the twen tieth annual state convention of the Y. M. C. A. Ueneral Secretary T. TC. Prout is among the number and on Saturday af ternoon will appear on the programme, discussing the Social Work of the Rail road Y. M. C. A." Wilbur Stark will give the annual report of the Topeka associa tion and in it will be some interesting figures as follows: During the year there have been 2 lectures and entertainments, with an average attendance of 2S0 per sons, or a toU'-l of 7.500. At the coffee house at the shops KS.SHft cups of coffee have been served to the men during noon hours, and at the rooms 37 men have bathed. The total attendance at the bonding has been T4.t.

PLAN ISJPOPULAR International Correspondence of Scholars Works Well. Large Number of Kansas Schools Take It Up. OAKLAND THE FIRST. John MacDonald Now Besieged For Foreign Addresses. He Talks of the Benefit of the Exchange of Letters. The system of international corre spondence between school children of this country with those of foreign coun tries is beginning to prove a popular one and the idea has taken deep root upon the minds of the educators of the state. Since the announcement through the State Journal exclusively, recently, ot the success of the experiment tried by the scholars of Oakland school of To peka in correspondence with the scholars of Sunnyside school of Alloa, Scotland, at the suggestion of John MacDonald of the Western School Jour nal, a nurrfber of schools of the state have decided upon adopting the same method. Within the past few weeks John Mac Donald has been besieged with requests from teachers and principals of schools all, over the state, from Leavenworth, Ottawa, Hutchinson, Newton, Wichita, Atchison, Salina, Lawrence, Hiawatha and other points for suggestions and addresses of other schools in foreign countries that could be gotten into cor respondence in the same manner as was the school at Alloa. All of these recuests have been met in an encouraging manner and the in quirers advised of schools that could well be communicated with. About thirty letters were sent to the Scottish school from Oakland. Consid erable time elapsed before replies were received, but when they did come they were more than enough to repay the scholars for their time and trouble in writing the letters. The letters received frm the scholars at Alloa were intellectual in their char acter, and much historical data were gained from some of them. The sur rounding country at Alloa, Scotland, is well known in history as is nearly all the localities in Europe. The manner In which the letters were written was enough to excite interest In the places and things told of that could be satis fied in no other way. "The plan of international correspon dence," said Mr. MacDonald to a State Journal reporter today, "is not exactly a new one although it has not been known or used in Kansas until recently. "It has been tried to advantage in other and older schools. It is one of the best methods to interest the student in school work and I believe will one day be a regular part of all school work. I will be glad to see it so. The corresoonaence need not be lim ited to a single foreign school by the scholars of any school of the state. If it is found that the scholars have the time and it is convenient there is no reason why they should not correspond with scholars in a number of different foreign countries. "One point and one which is a strong one in iavor ot international correspon dence is the fact that it brings the com ing generation into closer touch. If the scholars of all schools were to be in cor respondence, although they may never have seen each other or perhans never may, it is apparent that a kindlier spirit will exist, and the children of today who will be the people of tomorrow will entertain more of a spirit of comrade ship for each other.

The final offi cial function of the Yale bicentennial began at S o'clock last evening. The affair was scheduled as a farewell re ception by President and Mrs. Hadley, but the presence of the president of the United States who assisted President and Mrs. Hadley in receiving lent a far greater impressiveness to the occasion, 1 Although there was no public announce ment that President Roosevelt would be present, a rumor of his coming had pread among the crowd and a big squad of policemen had some difficulty In restraining them at the entrance. The reception was held In the great dining hall or commons, owned by the university corporation. The building is one of the new bicentennial structures. President Roosevelt and Dr. and Mrs. Hadley stood upon a small raised plat form midway to one side of the hail. Commander and Mrs. Cowles and Pri vate Secretary Cortelyou stood to the rear of the receiving party. Close at hand were secret service officers, ushers and policemen and those in charge of the ceremonies. The purpose was to ad mit only those wearing badges. These numbered several thousand and a great number of the uninvited public manag ed also to gain entrance. Particularly noticeable was the extreme caution not only of the officers, but of those having the affair In charge for the adequate protection of the presi dent. The most unique and original feature of the reception was the fact that there was no handshaking. The suggestion to eliminate this old time custom originated with President and Mrs. Hadley and was readily adopted by the president after consultation with Secretary Cortelyou. Light refresh ments were served at the side hall op posite the official party. It is estima ted that 5,000 persons attended the re ception. At its conclusion the president returned to the Farnam residence, where dinner was served at 7:30. Among the guests were: President Roosevelt, President Had ley of Yale. Secretary of State John Hay, Joseph H. Choate, ambassador to England; Andrew D. White, ambassa dor to Germany; Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Knute Hennig Geslius von Sheele of Sweden; President Eliot of Harvard; President Gilman of Johns Hopkins; President Low of Columbia; President Patton of Princeton; Presi dent Northrop of the University of Min nesota; Associate Justice Brewer of the supreme court of the United States; Prof. Federovic Martins of St. Peters burg; Charles Francis Adams, White law Reid.

Yim'tM wWf -M Whatever else has been accomplished in Cuba, the health of the island has been wonderfully improved. In Havana the change has been mag ical; streets have been asphalted, sewers built, buildings whitewashed and drug stores supplied with scientific, up-to-date preparations. The demand for Paine's celery compound has grown to enormous proportions. The following statement from E. J. Molina of the Havana custom house, shows the standing Paine's has already secured among the most progressive, energetic people of Havana: Havana, Cuba, Feb. 4, 190L Wells Richardson Co.: Dear Sirs I take great pleasure In stating that I have used your Paine's celery compound, both while in the United States as well as in this city, and find it to be of wonderfully re storative power, especially in this ener vating climate. "Very truly yours, E. J. MOLINA. mander W. S. Cowles, U. S. N. George B. Cortelyou and Dr. P. M. Rixey. Following the banquet a final recep tion, beginning at about 9 o'clock was given at the Farnam residence to a limited number of invited guests. At 10:45 the president re-entered his carriage, and again escorted by the mounted police was driven to the rail road yards. On a side track in Water street, the two cars, the Lucania for the president and the Princeton, for others of the party were standing guarded by a strong detail of police. The president reached the car at 11:05. Surrounding it beyond the lines drawn by the police was a considerable crowd who cheered the president as he mounted the car steps. The president bowed low, lifted his hat, waved It, and bowing again, withdrew into his car. A few minute3 later a switch engine drew the two cars northward through the yards to the main line, where another locomotive was attached, and as the train drew away a party of Yale students gave the college cheer for "the president." At 11:22 the train sped through union station as a special for Washington via Harlem and Jersey City, thirteen min utes ahead of the night federal express. The presidential special was given right of way over the lines. PRESIDENT WAS LAST. When the long list of degrees had been finished. President Hadley ad vanced a step or two and, with great Impressiveness, said: "There yet remains one name." In an instant the great audience was stand ing. The president of the United States also arose and the theater rang with cheers. The air was filled with waving handkerchiefs and programmes. Remarking that Yale had chosen for the degree, this candidate before he be came president. President Hadley an nounced that all Yale men were now doubly honored by greeting the man and the president as a son of Yale. Specially addressing President Roose velt, President Hadley spoke as fol lows: "Theodore Roosevelt, while you were yet a private citizen we effered you most worthily the degree of LL. D.

Molina Is but one of many promi nent Cubans who have publicly ad vised the use of Paine's celery com pound, basing their recommendations on the benefit they themselyes havo de rived from its use. Not only among business men, law yers, clergymen and physicians, but among all classes of thoughtful, intel ligent people, Paine's celery compound is the one reliable remedyfcfor building up the system when it is run down. It is the greatest nerve and brain lnvig orator the world has ever known. If your wife, daughter or Bister is pale, languid, headachy and Irritable, persuade her to try Paine's celery compound. If your husband, son or brother cannot eat, sleep or work, and drowsy, dyspeptic and despondent, In duce him to take Paine's celery com pound. It restores a worn and weak nervous system to healthy vigor. There can be no substitute for Paine's celery compound. NIGHT SCHOOL OF Y. M. C A.

President Roosevelt advanced, bowed profoundly, and tried to speak. Again, the audience cheered, and it was fully a minute before he was allowed to pro ceed. He said: President Hadley: I have never yet worked at a task worth doing that I did not find myself working shoulder to shoulder with some son o Yale. I have never yet been in a strug gle for righteousness and decency that there were not men of Yale to aid me and give me strength and courage. "As we walked hither this morning, we passed by a gateway which wa raised to the memory of a young Yale lad who was hurt to death beside me as he and a great many others like us marched against the gun fire of the heights, and with those memories quick in my mind, I thank you from my heart for the honor to me, and I thank you doubly, for you planned to do me that honor while I was yet a private citizen."

A complete copy of the night report is also received. It appears from the testimony that at times Admiral Schley's language was aa vigorous as were his guns. A Michigan court has decided that license Issued to a bicycle rider carries with it the right to ride on tna siae walk. In order to keep Bryan and Hill out of the state, the Ohio Democrats found It necessary to reject all outside offers of help. Probably it will require something more than the Booker T. Washington Incident to land Henry Watterson In the presidential chair. Doubtless there are many politicians who are rejoicing at present over the fact that they have not been called upon to run for mayor of New Tork. The father-in-law and the mother-in-law of the young people have formed a syndicate to pay the Duke of Man chester's debts, and everybody is happy nee more. If anyone has had doubts in connec tion with the merits of the Sampson -Schley controversy, it seems he must have had them removed by the tes timony presented before the court of Inquiry. After the splendid vindication Ad miral Schley has received at the hands of the officers and men who fought under him at Santiago, he can well afford ts let Sampson keep the prize money. It seems likely that another surprise is in store for the British. There is a report abroad that DeWet is dead.

Denmark has come into the field as a producer and exporter of hogs and hog products, with a growth at least interesting if not suggestive to Ameri can producers of a commodity who3e export value grew from $84,908,698 in 1891 to $119,961,503 in 1901. These figures show the total value of hog products exported fro:n the United States in 1891 and 1901, respectively, the details for 1901 being: lard, $46,560,148; bacon, $37, 499,026; hams, $22,842,778; salted and pickled pork, $9,926,633; fresh pork, $2, 424,537; and canned pork, $708,381. The fact that hog products form the largest single item In the exportations of the United States, having exceeded last year by two million dollars those of the manufactures of Iron and steel, whose exports have attracted so much attention, lends interest to some facts which have Just reached the treasury bureau of statistics regarding the re markable development of the hog-pack-lng industry of Denmark. This infor mation is published In the "Danish Ex port Review," and shows that the num ber ef head of swine in Denmark has Increased from 301,000 In 1861 to 1.168. 000 in 1893, the latest year for which statistics are available. The prohibition of the importation of live hogs into Ger many and the United Kingdom, which countries were Denmark's principal cus tomers in this line, resulted in the es tablishment of slaughter houses In Den mark and the increase in the produc tion of Danish bacon and hams in re cent years has been phenomenal. The exports of hams and bacon from Den mark have grown from 9,120,000 Danish pounds in 1S78 to 129,700,000 Danish pounds In 1898. As a consequence of the change from the export of live swine to that of slaughtered animals, the slaughter houses have risen to the greatest Im portance in Denmark during the last 10 or 15 years. Whilst formerly the slaugh ter houses belonged to private individ uals, a large number of joint and co operative slaughter houses have been established during this period. This movement commenced in 1887 on ac count of the German Importation pro hibition when it became necessary to kill a considerable number of swine which were formerly sent to Germany alive for sale in England. There are now 25 co-operative slaugh ter houses in Denmark which in 1899 killed about 729.000 head of swine at a value of about $8,000,000, and about 22, 450 head of cattle for export. The co-operators numbering 66.000 have bound themselves to send the whole or rrt of their swine to the slaughter houses, and guarantee 10 to 15 kroner per head of swine for funds and working capital. These co-operators share equally the working expen ses and the year's surplus in the same manner as the dairies. They employ 540 hands, besides managers and office staff. All of the 85 slaughter houses possess a common organization and management, and a common office at Copenhagen. I GOOD TIMES FOR WESTERN FARMERS. Under the above caption the Orange Judd Farmer says: "Their wheat crop Is worth t""" than last year's by 150 millions of dollars. "Other grains represent as large a total value this year as last, the short age In yield of corn being made up by advance In price. "Potatoes are so high that the short crop will probably return more money to the farmer than ever before. "Live stock represents a value of nearly 250 millions of dollars over last year. "Apples and other fruits are extra ordinarily high. "The farm products of the United States this year are doubtless worth 400 million dollars more than last year's out-turn. "The cereals (wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley) raised in the United States during the past five years represent a value to the farmer of 6,250 millions of dollars, or an increase of nearly 1,000 millions over the preceding five years. "Cotton growers have netted 400 mil lion dollars more for the past five crops (1901 crop estimated) than for the pre vious five. "Taking 1896 as a fair basis of values during the late agricultural depression nine staple crops for this year repre sent an increase In value of over 700 millions of dollars. Live stock is worth 1,000 millions more now than then. "During the past five years agricul tural exports have been 938 millions of dollars greater in value than for the preceding five years, a gain of 30 per cent., while exports of manufactures have almost doubled in value. The ex cess of exports over Imports Is nearly three-fold that of 1896-92. Whereas in the former period the United States lost 220 millions of dollars in gold, during the past five years it gained 192 mil lions, or a net addition to the nation's gold supply of 412 millions. The total stock of gold in the United States now (1,125 millions) Is double what it was five years ago, and the per capita cir culation of money ($28) is 33 per cent, greater now than then. "With a keen foreign demand for our surplus, the American farmer certainly rejoices in a glorious prospect for profits, prosperity and happiness." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe'.

Women would probably talk less If men refused to listen. The blossom of vanity is beautiful, but the fruit is bitter. No mind Is so great that it cannot be Influenced by a small one. When the wise man starts on a jour ney he takes a full purse and no bundles. Opportunities are very sensitive. Slight them once and they seldom call again. Some men are born poor, some achieve poverty and some marry ex travagant wives. A man may have many good traits and still lack the one necessary to make use of them. A fool may ask more questions in seven minutes than a wise man can answer in seven years. Ask the average man to point out a great genius and he will proceed to take off his hat to himself. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. Sons are for fathers to admire daugh ters to love. Some men know so little about hu man nature that they will try to argue with women ana tacts. A bachelor knows if he doesn't like it he can change any time, while a mar ried man is there to stay whether he likes it or not. The great comfort a woman gets in calling in a doctor is that she knows it keeps all her neighbors at the window watching his carriage to see how long he stays. All a man has to do to make his wife believe he is a genius is to pretend he is so absent-minded that if she didn't look out for him he would put on his suspenders for a necktie.

Once upon a time there was a very old couple living m a wood which was. full of all kinds of wild animals. One morning the old man went to gather some wood in the forest, leaving his old wife at home. A little before noon the good woman went to the creek to wash clothes, when, to her astonishment, she saw a fine, large peach floating upon the water di rectly in front of her. She picked it up, but did not eat it at once. She thought she would save it and share it with her dear old man at dinner, so she put it safely away in the cupboard. At noon when her husband came home she cooked him a nice dinner. While they were sitting at the table she tnougnt ox the peach she had found in the creek and went to get it. When she opened the door of the cupboard, to her great surprise she saw a little baby coming out of the peach. "Oh, wonderful! Oh, wonderful!" was all the old woman could sav. The old man. hearins the exclamation immediately- went to see what was the matter. He was as much astonished as his wife at the sight of the baby. "It is very good, dear wife." said he, "for we have no child of our own. so we will take this one and bring it up as ours. So she took the hahv and wrapped it carefully and put it into a basket and placed it by the window. In a few days the child grew so large that It Impossible to keep it in the basket, so she took a strong string and tied one end to the baby and the other to a millstone to keen it from getting away. But notwithstanding the child was so strong that it went about through the woods with the millstone and did a great deal of mischief. In a few days the baby had grown to the size of a giant and worked with all a giant's strength helping the old man upon his little farm. About this time the daughter of the Japanese king had been stolen by an oni (an imp) and carried far away to an iron castle on the onl's island, where she was imprisoned and tormented by fierce and ugly creatures. The chief of the onis often tried to persuade her to marry him and become his queen, but she would not accept the oni s throne. But the oni persisted in wooing her and tried in many ways to make her consent. When the old king, her father, heard of this wonderful child, who was so young and yet so very strong, he sent one of his servants to bid him come to his palace at once, so the child obeyed the king's order and went to the palace and was carried into the king's private chamber. The king asked him If he would bring back his daughter from the Oniga Shnia. The peach child told him he would try to do it, as he did not feel at all afraid of the oni. Then the king promised him that if he should succeed he would give him his daughter's hand In marriage as a reward for his great service. Early the next morning the peach child assembled all the warriors to gether that were to accompany him on his expedition to Oniga Shnia and made them a speech, and he promised to reward all that would serve the king's cause faithfully in the expedi tion again the oni. They were to have three rice biscuits apiece. Then all agreed to obey the com mands of the peach child, who at once assumed control of these loyal war riors, and the Journey commenced. When the whole army reached the Oniga Shnia all the onis made great preparation to give the peach boy's warriors battle. Next morning both armies met on the great plains of the Oniga Shnia, where they fought a terrible battle until night put an end to the conflict. The fortunes of the day decided against the oni's party and an immense number was slaughtered, ana their Dlooa coverea the plain. Next morning, the peach child's army having completely routed the oni's hosts and captured the iron castle of their prince, alter a diligent search in the castle they found the beautiful and lovely daughter of the king confined in a dark dungeon. When the victorious army opened the oni's treasury, they found numerous precious things. Among them were two suits of winged dresses and a mys terious Japanese box. The peach child and the king's daugh ter put on the winged dresses and flew back to the king's palace in a few min utes and told the king what had hap pened in the Oniga Shnia. The old king was very much pleased and gave his daughter in marriage to the peach child, who after the old king s death ascended the Japanese throne. The wonder of his age and reign was the mysterious box which was taken from the oni, out of which the king could obtain anything he wanted.. A Typical South African Store. O. R. Lawson of Bay Villa.

Caused by Some Irritant Acting Upon the Mucous Membrane of the Stomach. Inflammation of the stomach, gastric catarrh or gastritis, as this unpleasant affliction is variously called, may, like most inflammatory diseases, be acute or chronic in its course. The symptoms of gastritis are more or less fever, weak pulse, loss of appetite, coated tongue, foul breath, bad taste in the mouth, the head aches dully. There is a sensa tion of weight or distress in the stom ach. Gastritis is caused by some irri tant acting on the mucous membrane of the stomach, the irritant is often formed in the stomach by the fermenta tion of indigestible food. Gastritis will never develop if you take regularly Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the guaran teed cure for indigestion, constipation and all diseases arising from stomach troubles.

CARD SHARPS AT WORK Coffey County Farmer Nearly Loses $5,000. Burlington, Kas.. Oct. 24. Fred Huse man, grocer, farmer and postmaster at Sharpe, Coffey county, would have lost $5,000 to confidence men this week if his banker had not refused to give him the money. A well dressed man, who appeared to be about 40 years old, smooth faced, about five feet four inches and rather heavy set, drove up to his farm eight miles north and east or uurnngton, and said he was a banker from Emporia wanting to buy a farm for his sister. He told Mr. Huse- man he had heard a great deal about his big farm and would like to look it over. They Btarted in the banker's buggy and after driving around some time they met a man who appeared to be a tramp. According to his story he had been storked while at Kansas City and had lost several thousand dollars on a card game. He began showing them how it was done, and said he was on to the trick and would get his money back when he got to Texas. The banker became interested and he and the tramp got to playing. The game was that the tramp had a deck of cards and one had a picture of a boy on it. The banker was to draw a card while looking at them, and if he drew the boy he won. After the banker and tramp had played some time they wanted Mr. Huseman to join, but he said he had no money. The banker then offered to loan him some, and they continued to play, Mr. Huseman and the banker winning every time. The tramp got angry and pulled out $10,000 and wanted to bet that. The banker promptly produced $5,000 and covered his half of the bet Mr. Huseman did not care to go in so heavy, but after he listened to the banker s talk a little while he got in the buggy with the banker to come to Burlington to get the money. Mr. Huseman went to the People's National bank to draw the money. Mr. Foster, cashier, had some trouble in convincing him that they were fakes. After he did. Deputy Sher iff Bill Doherty was notified and start ed after the men, but didn't find them. MET A NICE FELLOW. Mr. Jones, of Illinois, Reaches Wichita Short $150. Wichita, Oct. 24. C. W. Jones of Dex ter, 111., is out $150. Mr. Jones arrived in the city last evening and related the man ner in which he had been buncoed. He said: "I was in Colorado looking over the country and I decided that I wanted to go to Lawton, Ok. At Pueblo the mana ger of the branch house there got on the train and sat beside me in a seat. He learned from me that I was going to Law ton and would be with me as far as Wich ita. He told me that Mr. Carr's brother, who was managing the branch house at Pueblo,, had died, and that as Wichita was becoming the wholesale center for Kansas and Oklahoma, it was decided to concentrate the business at this point. He said that he expected to overtake the goods at McPherson and that there was an entire train of them. Near McFarland he asked me to cash a draft of t3i)0 for him, as he needed the money to guarantee the charges to Wichita. I told him that I couldn't do it, as I had only $150 alto gether. He was considerably worried over the matter. Finally he said that probably he could fix it up with $150 with what lit tle money he had himself. I gave it to him and he seemed much relieved.

Burton have displayed ex cellent taste and judgment In buying in their home state. Mrs. Burton and her husband have recently selected their carpets and furniture from the Topeka house of Crosby Brothers. This is but one instance of many Kansans who have found that Topeka carries the very best goods to be ob tained anywhere for the furnishing of a home. This is true of the quality and of the large variety from which selec tions may be made from the stock in hand. It has recently been demon strated over and over again by Kan sans who have looked at goods in east ern cities and returned to buy at home, that their loyalty to home enterprises is made easy by the fact that they have saved both their pocket-books and increased their supply of practical pa triotism. Senator Burton Is only one of many who have recently made large purchases of fine goods carried by well known To peka houses. Among the list of recent large buyers are Governor Stanley, E. F. Russell, Chas. B. Thomas, Dr. J. C. McCllntock, M. F. Southwick, F. C. Meagley, N. B. Campbell, Mrs. H. E. Ribnitsky, S. K. Burrows, Lieutenant Governor H. C. Richter, F. E. Nipps, J. M. McFarland, Horace Hall, A. Zahner, A. C. Townsend, the Elks, Stor- mont hospital and Gage annex. To these names many more could be added, swelling a list of Topekans and Kansans who give a practical demon stration that we can buy the best for the least. money of our home merchants, and while helping ourselves directly, help ourselves Indirectly by fostering the enterprise of the Dusmess commun ity.

"J. P. Lyman, president of the com pany is hurrying here from the east, said Mr. Standish, "and till he comes I cannot state in detail the policy of the company. However, it has been decided to rebuild at once and within three months the plant will be re-established on a scale larger than before. Eight hundred men temporarily are out of employment, but they wil lose nothing as we will find work for them at our St. Joseph and South Omaha plants. We have made arrangements for a stock yards firm to kill 300 head of cattle a week for us so we can fill our export orders. The feltillzees, oleomargarine. tallow candle, ice and power plants were not destroyed. The adjusters are still figuring on the insurance, but I think the immediate loss is pretty well covered."

ALL ABLE BODIED MEN About to Be Called Out For Service in British Army. London, Oct. 24. An error committed by some of the provincial police has led to the premature leaking out of the fact that the war office contemplates the pos sibility of having to call out every vol unteer in the country. The war office has distributed to the police officers tnrougnout the kingdom bills ordering all reservists, mlntia, yeomen and vol unteers to report themselves without de lay to headquarters, with the view of active service. These bills are accom panied by letters ordering that the bills oe kept in a safe place until telegraphic orders to post them up are received.

Every person suffering from catarrh In its many forms, knows that the common lotions, salves and douches, do not cure. It is needless to argue this point or to cite cases of failures, be cause every victim of catarrhal trouble knows It for himself If he has tried them. A local application, if It does anything at all, simply gives temporary relief; a wash, lotion, salve or powder cannot reach the seat of the disease, which is the blood. The mucous membrane seeks to re lieve the blood of catarrhal poison by secreting large quantities of mucous, the discharge sometimes closing up the nostrils descending to the throat and larynx, causing an irritating cough, continual clearing of the throat, deaf ness. Indigestion and many other dis agreeable and persistent symptoms. A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal treatment: a remedy which will gradually cleanse the sys tem from catarrhal poison and remove the fever and congestion always pres ent In the mucous membrane. The best remedies for this purpose are Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hy drastin, but the difficulty has always been to get these valuable curatives combined In one palatable, convenient and efficient form. Recently this has been accomplished, and the preparation put on the market under the name of Stuart's Catarrh tablets; they are large, pleasant tasting lozenges, so that they may be slowly dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching every part of the mucous membrane and finally the stomach and (ntenstines. An advantage to be considered also Is that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets con tain no cocaine, morphine or poisonous narcotics, so often found In catarrh) powders, and the use of which often en tails a habit more dangerous than the disease. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents for full sized package and are probably the safest and most effectual catarrh cure on the market. New Crawford Theater. Thursday, Oct. 24.

Sedg wick, general attorney for the M. K. T., today lodged complaint with the state obard of railroad commisioners that the other roads objected to these crossings, and asked relief.

A few witnesses were examined by the state before the court under the anti-trust laws, which allows witnesses to be subpoenaed to determine If there is cause of action. Under the law if the defendants are placed upon the stand and examined by the prosecu tion it is equivalent to a nollying of the case, as If that is done they are re lieved from prosecution or any further connection with the case. Nobody seems to know anything about the workings of the trust except the offi cers of the concern, and if the magnates are placed on the stand the case is lost, so County Attorney Nichols will have to discover some other line of battle.

City Attorney Spencer has asked that thirty appealed liquor cases from the police court be placed on the docket for trial in December. ALL A MISTAKE. Kistler Street Is Not to Se Opened After AIL There appears to be another hitch in the opening of Kistler street. The city treasurer was mistaken in his figuring, and the announcement that the money to buy the condemned land was in the treasury Droves to be a mistake. The fund to purchase the land is still $433 short. Today a petition signed by 83 residents of North Topeka in the Kistler street benefit district was received, asking why there has been so much delay in the work. The petition was signed by Thomas Page, A. J. Proudfit, H. M. Steele, J. B. Billard, J. W. Priddy, L. M. Betts, Mrs. A. J. Kane, Chas. Gerteison, and others. Street Commissioner Snyder will go ahead and open Kistler street between Kansas avenue and Qulncy.and between Monroe and the alley in the middle of the block. The other half block will have to stay unopened till the persons in the benefit district who have failed to pay their portion of the tax square up their debts. It is possible that the city council will appropriate some money from some special fund, and open the street. This would avoid further delay. The city has a house and barn on the condemned land to sell, and it is thought that these improvements will pay off about $200 of the remaining $433.

Ques Will Erect New Building or En large Old Quarters. PLAN NOW PROPOSED. Would Sell 750 Shares at $100 Per Share. This Would Provide a Fund of $75,000. The question of a Masonic temple will soon be decided by the Masonic lodges in Topeka. Either the Masons will build a magnificent home of their own on their property at the northeast cor ner of Eighth and Quincy streets or a considerable amount of money will bo expended in enlarging the lodge rooms now in use. The Masonlo lodges of Topeka own the four lots at Eighth avenue and Quincy streets. The purchase price in 1888 was $18,500. The indebtedness on the property was discharged a year ago. The property is in the hands of the Masonic Temple company, com posed of Charles J. .Webb, president; D. W. Nellis, treasurer; A. K. Wilson, sec retary; C. W. Kouns, J. B. Furry, A. A. Rodgers, W. S. Bergundthal, Sam Radges and William Green. The quarters now occupied by the Masons in what is known as the Ma sonic building on Jackson street, are crowded. Several changes to make the lodge room and other rooms larger will soon have to be made, at a cost of about $1,500, if the Masons expect to re main there, and the question has arisen whether the money should be expended If there if any likelihood of a temple being built The Masonic quarters aie in charge of the board of control, corn posed of C.

The Masonic Temple company and the board of control will have a meeting to discuss the way of placing the proposition before the several Ma sonic bodies. A plan of selling 750 shares In the temple at $100 a share, with certain In ducements given by the lodges, has bfert proposed and has met with favor. Th popular Idea has been to build a temple to cost about $75,000, at least three stories, with an entire floor devoted to the Scottish Rite, a lodge room for tn chapter, council and commandery, and another for the lodges. A drill hall for the commandery and an assembly room to be used for the grand bodies Is also proposed. The building would be devot ed exclusively to the Masonic bodies. The membership of the order In To peka Is over 2,100. and It la believed that the stock could readily be disposed of. A meeting of the Masonic Temple company will be held soon and the mat ter taken up. LOOK FOR IT THIS WEEK. Stock Tarda Decision Is Expected Any Day.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAIi, THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 24, 1901. Drunkards Easily Cured Miss Mary Roberts Wants Every Lady Reader of this Paper to Know How She Saved Her Brother. Cvsd an Odorless and Tasteless Remedy In His Food, Quickly Curing Him Without His Knowledge. Jrltl Package of The Remedy Hailed Free To Show How Easy It Is To Cure Drunkards. The terrible evil of drunkenness has at st found a conqueror. Miss Mary Rob erta of 1033 Golden Gate ave., San Fran cisco, Cal., tells how she saved her brother from ruin and her words burn with a new hope to every woman who would resuce a son, brother or husband from the scourge of drunkenness. She ays: "Yeji, It Is true that my brother Is now a reiormed man. For years he drank er.ly occasionally, but at last he got so bad that to be sober seemed a living dfatn to him. After a spree he would tremble and sbak and act as If ho were ijoing Insane. He would then drin'; sparingly but in a few days would stare oft aizain and I wouldn't see him for a wek. I H a notice In our home paper that MISS MARY ROBERTS. there was a remedy called Golden Spe cific to be given secretly in tea, cofl'ee or soft food, and that they would snd me a free trial. I wrote for it and trave it to my brother early one morning- in a cup of coffee before he had a chance to go out aJid get a drink. The effect was wonderful and seemed to brace him up. He went out and came back quite sober for him. In the meantime I had sent for a regular treatment of Golden Specific, end after using it my brother was a changed man. tay after day I watched and prayed, and it all seemed too good to be true. His whole manner changed. I eaid nothing about the remedy I had been riving him secretly and did not talk of his being cured, but I would often tell him how happy I was and what a noble man he was to stop drinking. He, of course, knows it all now, but his new life, rosperity. new friends and self-respect lave long ago forgiven me for the way in which I saved him from a drunkard s grave. Hay every mother, sister or daughter learn from my experience is my devout hope, and in thus making pub lic the story of our private misfortune and subsequent blessings, it is my earn est desire that every woman read in my words the way to happiness not only for herself but for the man who is struggling with the curse of liquor upon him. Or. Haines, who discovered Golden Specific, is deserving of woman's homage and I am glad to know that he will send a free trial of the remedy to every woman who writes him. Send your name and address to "Dr. J. W. Haines, 2W0 Glenn bldg., Cincinnati, O., and he will mail the remedy to you in a plain package and thus you can be- rrin the cure at once. The remedy is odor ess and tasteless and you need have no fear of discovery." SCOTTISH KITE HONORS. Kansas Masons Pare Well at Wash ington Session. "Washington, Oct. 24.

BEATTT INTERESTED. If Results Are Satisfactory Will Erect 60-Ton Mill. How the Cyanide Process Has Worked in California. Hays City, Oct 24. For over a week the investigation of the Gage gold mill at Smoky Hill city has been in progress, and so far, the results of the investiga tion have confirmed the representations of Mr. Gage and his co-laborers. The investigation is being made by J. T. Lovewell, of Topeka, who is in the em ploy of R. T. Beatty, the Beaumont "oil king." From one mill run made without the assistance or interference of Mr. Gage, Mr. Lovewell secured $12 per ton of gold and silver. Another mill run showed only $1 a ton. This small showing was due, according to Air. Gage, to the elec tric batteries, which had become weak and ineffective. Mr. Lovewell is making extensive experiments, and will remain in Ellis county for some time. The investigation has so far been made at the Gage mill, with the ma chinery and material used at the milL The mill consists of a crusher, which re duces the ahale to small lumps and pow der. The crushed shale is dumped into three large vats, each holding 3,200 pounds. It is then subjected to the cyanide process, and in the course of 36 hours, the gold and silver is secured. Mr. Beatty recently sold one of his Beaumont oil wells for $1,300,000, and owns several other "gushers" of equal value. If the investigation of the Kan sas shales now in progress proves that the Gage process is not a- "fake," Mr. Beatty will within 30 days erect a 60 ton shale mill, and commence the reduction of the shale by the cyanide process. He will erect more mills as fast as tht profits of the first warrant, and if pres ent indications are fulfilled, the amount of gold secured is only limited by the capacity of the mills. Asked to give an opinion on the Gage process, Mr. Lovewell said: "All looks favorable so far. I can not tell what the final outcome will be. We are using ev ery precaution to prevent fraud, and are only endeavoring to ascertain the truth about the Kansas shale." The cyanide process which is used by Mr. Gage in his mill is not exactly a secret process, though Mr. Gage has in vented variations of the regular cyanide process to fit the peculiar kind of ore with which he is working. It is assert ed that these variations enable him to get better values than by the straight cyanide process. The cyanide process is being introduced into the gold mines in northern California. Mineral Wealth, a mining magazine printed at Redding, Shasta county, California, prints an ac count of a successful cyanide mill.which shows that in all respects the Kansas shales are susceptible to the same treat ment. Mineral Wealth says: "An interesting cyanide experiment and a new one for northern California is being successfully made at the Mc Kean mine, near Callahans, and prom ises to be of no little importance in the quartz development, particularly of Siskiyou and Trinity counties. The rock is not treated by a mill at all, but goes directly from the rock breaker to the solution tanks. Four forty-ton vats make up the present equipment of the plant, and one is drawn off and re charged each day. The ore, of course, is one that is specially fitted for that method of extraction. It is a coarse grained, rure silicate, carrying consid erable sulphurets in spots. Most of the values, however, are of a fine character of gold, the fineness being of such uni formity that all can be depended upon to go into solution in from 72 to 96 hours. A half pound of cyanide is used for each ton of ore. The interesting feature with respect to this class of gold extraction is that from 80 to 90 per cent, of a rather low grade ore i3 saved from the rock just as it leaves the crusher. Milling and concentra tions are thus done away with, and thus the chief sources of wear, tear and expenses are entirely obviated. The theory upon which this process is based involves the structure of the quartz. It has been shown that the gold merely lines th- casings of fractures of the rock, and accordingly the work of the rock breaker is all that is necessary to allow the cyanide solution to pene trate to the presence of the gold." Mineral Wealth further states that credit for the successful operation by this new method is largely due to Fred erick Lundstrom, formerly of South Africa, and familiar with the cyanide process. The plant on the property was installed under the direction of E. H Benjamin, mining engineer of San Francisco, and secretary of the Cali fornia Miners' association, who, as stated in the San Francisco Chronicle, is the inventor of this new cyaniding method. LOSS $500,000. Big Fire at Hammond Packing Plant Near Chicago. Chicago. Oct. 24. Fire attacked the packing houses of the G. H. Hammond company, at Hammond, Ind., last night and within an hour gained such head way that the destruction of the plant was feared. The Hammond fire depart ment and the private fire fighting corps of the packing company were unable to cope with the flames and an emerg ency call was sent to Chicago and South Chicago. Four engines of the Chicago department were loaded upon a special train on the Ft. Wayne road and hurried over cleared tracks to the burning district. Aid was also sent from South Chicago. The fire began at the south end of the plant in an old frame house used as the beef killing department. In an hour the car shops, oiling rooms, beef killing department and blacksmith shops were destroyed. It then seemed that the fire had burned itself out, but in a few minutes the four-story brick building containing the cooling rooms, one of the company's largest buildings of the plant, was burnng. The fire was got under control at 11:30 o'clock, after four departments of the plant had been destroyed. Loss. $500,000. Atchison Man "Made Secretary. Sioux City, la., Oct. 24.

The United States sanitary commissioner at Con stantinople has made a report on the plague in that city, which he says has been prevalent since last April. He re ports that twenty cases have occurred, although the local authorities, follow ing the example of the sultan, have shown much willingness in taking nec essary preventive steps. He says the disease has been of a mild type as com pared with the epidemic In China and India, where the plague death rate reaches 80 per cent, and more. The sultan has appointed a sanitary commission of experts, wrhose instruc tions immediately on the manifesta tion of bubonic plague are to take all necessary preventive steps without be ing obliged to report to any official au thority whatever. He arraigns the pre-' fecture De Laville for carelessness in many steps, including establishment of hospitals. The Ottoman government, because the result could not be ob tained in ten years, has not accepted the commissioner's proposal to get rid of the plague by opening large streets abutting the back-to-back houses and improving the sewer system. HAZING HAS STOPPED. Col. Mills Says There Hare Been Great Changes at West Point. Washington, Oct. 24. The most im portant feature of the annual report of Col. A. L. Mills, superintendent of the military academy, relates to the meas ures taken for the suppression of haz ing. Treating of discipline, he says: "The discipline of the corps of cadets has greatly improved during the year, and is now in an excellent state. It Id believed no military body of its size exists which excels it in soldierly ap pearance and in the perfection of drill and military airs, as well as in the higher requirements of devotion to duty. This satisfactory condition has been attained by firm adhesion to the measures adopted during the past three years to create among the cadets a higher soldierly regard for their obli gations, in particular those pertaining to hazing." He then reviews what has been done, mentions the criticisms passed upon the academy, the measures taken to stop hazing, and adds: "Throughout the past summer's en campment, which is the time when new cadets are being initiated into their new life and when hazing is ordinarily practiced, it is a fact that the great majority of cadets have obeyed the new order of affairs and the regulations loyally and willingly. Not one case of maltreatment of a new cadet is believed to have occurred; none have been re quired to perform services of a menial nature for old cadets; there has been no prearranged fighting, and new cadet training has made exceptional progress. One cadet was severely punished for giving an unauthorized and absurd or der to a new cadet, and another for exceeding his authority as a drill master over them. The action of the latter is, it is believed, through exces sive zeal rather than a hazing spirit. Another reform has also been accomp lished: the abolition of what is known as official hazing, or the harsh and nag ging tones of the cadet instructors over new cadets and cadet officers exercising authority, and the substitution there for of methods more appropriate for the training and education of young men to command in an American army. "The reforms that have been indi cated mark an important era in the history of discipline and military in struction at the academy. Diligence and discretion on the part of respon sible officers will make these reform3 permanent, without in the slightest degree marring the perfection of drill, appearance and discipline. The custom among cadets of settling disputes or dif ficulties among themselves by pre arranged and often brutal fist fights is over, and there need be no apprehen sion that the stoppage of such affairs will in any way impair a proper habit of many self-defense against personal assaults or insult." ROCK ISLAND WRECK. Thirteen Cars of a Freight in the Ditch Near Wellington. Wellington, Oct. 24. Further details of the Rock Island wreck at Zyba are be ing learned. It seems that it was the second section of No. 95, a local south bound freight that went in the ditch Tuesday evening. Thirteen cars were derailed and several hundred feet of track were torn up. The southbound passengers, due in Wellington at 4:16 and 7:58, and the northbound passenger, due to leave here at 8 o'clock, were run over the Santa Fe track between Well ington and Wichita. The work of clear ing up the .wreck was completed at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning, and trains are running regularly again. No one was seriously injured in the wreck. Thirteen cars were derailed and nearly all of them were totally destroy ed. The cause of the accident is sup posed to have been a broken rail. BRAKEMAJs TOO WEAK.

(Continued from First Pag.) ships coming out, our fleet closed in at once to attack them, each ship being or dered to keep her head directly toward the harbor entrance. The Spaniards turned to the westward, breaking through our line, or crossing it and our ships swung oft to the westward in pur suit. Both sides opened fire promptly and fired rapidly. Dense smoke soon obscured the vessels, making It difficult to distinguish them. "The Oregon ran between the Iowa and Texas and the next ships to the westward in our line, and soon after we sighted four Spanish ships ahead, ap parently uninjured at the time. They had gained so much ground that I be lieved they had been successful in their attempt to escape. But it was soon evi dent that we were gaining on one of them which afterward proved to be the Maria Teresa, the flagship.and I thought we should bring both to close action but might be exposed to the concentrated fire of all the ships. Just then the smoke lifted, or broke away to the left and I discovered the Brooklyn. She was well forward of our port beam and broadside to the enemy's fleet. Her course was perhaps a little divergent from ours, because the Oregon was attempting to draw up on the Teresa. But the Brook lyn and Oregon maintained this relative position, bow and quarter, approximate ly to the end of the battle, the Brooklyn steaming straight ahead as nearly as I could judge and engaging any and all of the Spanish ships, the Oregon en deavoring to come to close action with the sternmost one and whan she was driven out of action and pointed to the beach, then pushed on for the next one ahead and so on until the entire fleet was driven ashore, burning, or sinking. Mr. Rayner: "Did you get any sig nals from the Brooklyn on the day of battle?" "Yes, sir." "Can you recall what they were?" "Of my own knowledge and remem brance the signals that impressed them selves upon me at the time were 'Fol low the flag.' I had this repeated to the vessels following, thinking that they might not see the Brooklyn and might see us. I remember another signal, 'One of my compartments filled with water. I recollect it because it per plexed me a little. I was fearful that the Brooklyn might have to haul out of action and run in shore, and I con cluded that it was given to me as a warning in case she did haul out that I would be prepared to look out for the chase alone and not to pay any atten tion to her, and that she would look out for herself. I also remember the sig nal, but I did not understand it at first, 'The enemy's ship appears to have been built in Italy.' To which I told the signal officer to answer 'She will end on the coast of Cuba' I also remember a signal 'Congratulations over the grand victory and thanks for your splendid assistance." There were other signals made. I have seen the list of them, but these are the ones I recollect that made any impression upon me at the time. Of my own recollection I cannot recall any other." "What distance was it you were en gaged in the chase of the Colon after the Viscaya ran ashore. How many miles do you suppose the Oregon and Brooklyn ran in the chase of the Colon before she surrendered?" "1 cannot tell you that. I have heard the chart has limited the distance to a certain numer of miles, and the speed of the ships has been called in ques tion. I presume 50 or 55 miles." "Can you tell me with how many ships the Brooklyn was engaged when the smoke lifted and you saw her on her westward course?" "She must have been engaged with all four." "Did you see the turn of the Brook lyn?" "No, sir. I never saw the Brooklyn until I came out of the smoke." "How did the Brooklyn's fire appear to you at that time?" "I remember nothing about that I re member seeing her. It made a deep impression upon me to find her there and I felt that we should mutually sup port and sustain each other. I felt that a battleship was needed and that we were to be there together." "Did you see the commodore on the day of the battle ofi July 3?" "Tes, sir." "Wii you kindly rtaie where and when you saw him?" "After the New York came up, after the surrender of the Colon.'.' "Was any conversation held between you and the commodore on board the New York?" "A Spanish battleship was reported by Capt. Eaton of the Resolute. She had arrived ofrSantlago and I think he said he had been pursued by her. The admiral did not seem to be impressed by that. He seemed incredulous but I remarked that it must be Camara's fleet. That they had arrived there to form conjunction with Cervera's fleet but they had arrived too late. The admiral did not assent. Finally he said, 'Well, Clark, you will have to go after that ship,' and believing as I did that there was a Spanish vessel there, I said, 'Ad miral, in war we ought to overpower an enemy if possible. Why could not the Brooklyn go along? He turned and said, 'Certainly, Schley yeu go also. I then felt that I had perhaps assumed too much in speaking to an admiral and suggesting that a commodore also ac company me. I turned to the commo dore and said, 'Commodore, we have knocked out several vessels this morn ing; we can knock out another, can't we? He said, 'Certainly we can. Come on.' He then started over the side and I started after him. for my boat on the other side. What impressed me was his cheery manner of approving of my hay ing mentioned his going and that he had no feeling against me for mentioning it as a senior and was rather approving in his manner." Capt. Clark's examination in chief oc cupied fifteen minutes, and at ten min utes of 1 o'clock Mr. Hanna began the cross-examination. "Did you," he asked as his first ques tion,, "see the Iowa during the earlier portion of the engagement?"- "Yes," replied the witness, "I saw the Iowa standing in toward the entrance of the harbor and her position was a little to westward of the Oregon's. At first she seemed to be steaming faster than we were, and I thought she was gaining ground and would get in ahead of us. Then the smoke became so dense that I lost sight of her, but I could see the Spanish ships as they came out Later I saw her again, so near that I was fearful that the two ships would collide. Consequently I gave the order 'Hard to starboard' and cleared her. I never saw the Iowa again during the action." Responding to a request from Mr. Hanna, Capt. Clark described the man ner in which the Spanish ships came out of the harbor. In response to another question the witness said that the order under which he closed in was a standing order, as was the order to attack at once, in case the enemy appeared. "I remember," he said, "that I had a feeling of satisfac tion at that time that there was a stand ing order to close in, because of the possibility of an accident in executing that movement." The witness also said in responding to another question from Mr. Hanna, that while he had seen the Texas, he had not noticed which way she was heading, as it was his especial concern to clear her. Speaking of the ranges used during the engagement he said that they changed so rapidly he could not under take to give them and he at last told the officers to decide the range for them selves. Capt. Clark was also questioned re garding his statement in chief that the Brooklyn had at one time during the en gagement engaged four different ves sels, and confirmed his previous testi mony, saying that she was alongside all four of the enemy's ships, and in re sponse to a question from Mr. Hanna as to whether there were not other American vessels engaged at the same time, he replied that for some time after the "Viscaya went ashore and when only the Colon was left of the en emy's vessels, the Oregon did fire, and that when she did resume the work only the 13-inch guns were used, with the exception of one or two shots from the 8-inch guns in the forward turret. "Did you fire the 13-inch gun in pur suance of a signal from the Brooklyn?" Mr. Hanna asked, and the witness replied: "No; the 13-inch guns were fired after a conference with officers on board the Oregon. I had feared damage to the gun mechanism and hesitated to use the guns, but decided to do so. If any signal was made from the Brooklyn, I did not see it and it was not reported to me." At this point the court took a recess for luncheon. Capt.Clark resumed the witness stand after luncheon. As he took his seat Ad miral Dewey remarked to those near him, "It is the best house yet." Capt. Lemly announced that be had no further questions. Mr. Rayner asked: "Wre any of the Spanish vessels run ashore, or destroy ed in the channel as provided in the standing squadron orders, to close in and destroy the enemy in the channel?" "No, sir." "Was the battle of July 3 completed in accordance with any squadron or ders previously issued?" "No, sir." "Do you know anything about a sig nal to close up and follow flag, made by Commodore Schley made from the Brooklyn?" "I remember a signal "Follow flag being made because I ordered it re peated. We did close up." THE LATEST SWINDLE. Lightning Rod Schemers Use Galranic Battery on Victim. Wellington, Oct. 24. The Mail says: A story of an aged Greene township farmer being rendered unconscious by means of a galvanic battery, signing a note for $250 while stunned, lying un conscious for hours in his field, being found late at night by his wife and daughter, of a deranged mind and the recovery of the note by his wife's use of a shotgun, has reached this city. Mr. Jones was plowing in his field af ter dinner when a stranger drove into the field and asked whether he had lightning rods on his house. Receiving an affirmative answer, he asked about the barn and was told that there were no rods on it. He then asked succes sively whether the farmer wanted it rodded, would pay $3.75 to have rods put on it or would permit rods to be put on it for nothing, to all of which he made one answer, no. The stranger then alighted from his buggy and said he wanted to show him how near lightning could come to a house without striking it He pro duced what proved to be a galvanic battery, and induced the farmer to take hold of the handles. Immediately a terri cficurrent of electricity was turned on which doubled the old man all up. He called and begged the stranger to stop. All that he knows now of what happened after that is that he signed some sort of paper. Night came on and the farmer did not come home. Waiting anxiously un til after 8 o'clock, his wife and" daugh ter became alarmed and went to the field to hunt him. They found him ly ing unconscious on the ground where he had lain for fully seven hours. He was taken to the house and finally par tially regained consciousness, but his mind was all wrong. He talked inco herently, and those about him thought that he had become insane from some cause. The next afternoon, two men drove Into the yard in a lightning rod wagon and inquired whether that was where the man lived who had ordered light ning rod3 on his barn yesterday. The wife said No, that no lightning rods had been ordered there. By this time the good wife compre hended the situation. She directed her daughter to go into the house and get the shotgun. At the same time she de manded of the stranger the paper which her husband had signed the day before. They at first denied that he had signed anything, then they denied that they had it But the wife told them that they would never leave the premises alive without surrendering that paper. They then offered to surrender the pa per if she would accompany them into the house and burn it in their pres ence. She consented. The paper was produced. It was a promissory note for $250, signed by her husband. She kept her word. She carried it into the house and burned it in their presence and they hurried away. French Mine Strike Stopped. New York. Oct. 24. In the opinion of the Paris correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times, the firmness of the French government has prevented the big' coal miners strike that was threatened, the committee of the miners' federation deciding against action. Nearly all the opposition papers rail at and insult the committee for its alleged lack of courage. Appeal a Damage Case.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Oct. 24. WHEAT Improving Liverpool cables following the advance here yesterday started liberal offerings of wheat today on a somewhat active mar ket. December opened VtV&He to ric higher, at 713Tl4c, but under the early pressure sagged off to 70871c. It soon re acted, however, to yesterday's closing price and hovered around 71c on some purchases by prominent bulls. In general the early part of the session was a sore disappointment to bull enthusiasts, but lacking any special bullish influences, many of the bulls took advantage of the bulge and made profits. Local receipts were 88 cars 1 of contract grade; Minne apolis and Duluth reported 600 cars, mak ing a total of the three points of 6S8 cars, against 744 cars last week and 733 cars a year aero. Reports of a renewed movement in the northwest and liquidation eased December wheat to 70e. A small upturn In corn, however, brought prices back fairly and December closed steady and a shade lower, at 71c. CORN The corn pit opened steady and higher with cables. There was a good de mand and little for sale early. There was a general bullish feeling and December started a shade to (c higher, at 56tfi) 66c. Husking returns still were reported poor, but the hard selling in wheat brought a slump and December sold oft to 56c. Receipts were 157 cars. December corn sold at one time at 56e, but renewed buying on poor crop reports brought a sharp advance to 5fi74fu57c; De cember closed firm and c higher, at 666 56c. OATS Oats were active and slightly firmer at the opening, especially for the May account. Most of the selling was by shippers taking advantage of the strength gained through other grains. There was a good demand both from commission houses and pit traders. December was not ouoted until late and then started unchanged, at 35c Receipts were 133 cars. PROVISIONS Provisions started steady and a shade higher, influenced by grains, but sold off on a small depression Tn hog prices. January pork opened 5c higher, at $15.15, and sold to $15.12 January lard 5c up, at $S.97i439.00, and eased to $8.92. and January ribs unchanged to 2c up, at $7.85(37.87.. and sold to $7.82"..

The market opened active and irregular with large dealings in St. Paul, Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper. St. Paul sold to 1706169 on the4transfer of 4,500 shares, compared with 170 last night. Union Pa cific on the scale -of 2.500 shares was quoted at 102!ai02V4, compared with 102 last night. Amalgamated Copper ran oft nearly a point. Price changes otherwise were "small and much mixed. Professional operators realized heavily, but as the selling had little effect on prices, the bulls bid the market up all around. While the rallies in the leaders reached in some cases a point from the lowest, St. Paul, Atchison, Chicago Great Western and the Pacifies ruled only a small fraction above yesterday's close. Baltimore Ohio was unusually active and gained 2 points and Chicago Great Western preferred B rose 4V& points, to 50. The Eries and Readings also rose strong lv. Heavy selling of Sugar, Amalgamated Copper, Union Pacific and St. Paul had depressed them over a point by 11 o'clock, and the entire market weakened. General selling followed the room traders' realizing movement, resulting in earlier gains beinggenerally wiped out and putting St. Paul. Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Northwest, Amalgamated Copper and People's Gas 1 to 14 points under last night. Wisconsin Central, Glucose and Colorado Fuel were exceptionally ad vanced 1 and VA points. The weakness of the general market was accentuated by large sales of the United States Steel, stocks. Bonds were irregular. Brooklyn Transit advanced a point In the face of heavy selling elsewhere, but Its rise was soon cancelled. The general selling was largest in St. Paul, Union Pa cific and Peonie s Gas, which ruled from 2 to 2'A points below their best prices. Chi cago Great Western preferred B reacted 2 points and losses in other stocks of a point and over were numerous.

'Phone 486 Correspondent Christie drain and Stock Co- Kansas City, Mo. New York, Oct. 24. It has at last been decided that the shipment of ten million dollars of currency to Philadelphia to pav for the stock of the Flat Top Coal Land association will be made next Friday. It would consequently be reflected only nom inally in the bank statement this week, but as a matter of fact it has been grad ually provided for and will continue for little even in next week's figures. Money continues easy. It is easy now and inexpensive, too, to avoid the possi bility of trouble incident to the settle ment of January 1st next. The borrower of call money has to pav on the average 3 per cent. If he is willing to pay 4'4 per cent he can get a supply of money until the first of next February or even later. It is a question whether this is not the most economical and best step for a bor rower to take, especially as it is more likely that stock speculation will be ac tive in the future. It is hardly possible that the banks' monetary holdings will increase this year, for the currency ship ping season is later than usual. The out of town movement so far this week is about $1,500,000. There was a slight reac tion in sterling yesterday, but it may bo transient. London shipped 2,500,000 more gold to the continent and is therefore disposed to draw on American credits. Here in New York bankers have out standing a good many maturing sixty day bills and are anxious to keep tho sterling market down. The international situation is therefore one of unusual In terest. London was not a seller of stocks but bought 50,000 shares on balance. One explanation given to account for some of the development In yesterday's stock market is that a considerable short interest has been built up from, Chicago and that a well known manipulator was taking advantage of it. Josepn s Tips. Furnished by A. G. Goodwin, Commis sion Merchant, 601 Kansas ave. New York.Oct. 24. We look for a strong opening and higher prices in the early trading, but for considerable profit taking later on and ;n view of the large ad vance already recorded in the standard stocks and the relatively small amount of outside business, it will be advisable to take profits on any bulge and buy oack on lecessions of from 1 to 3 points.

There were a number of Twentieth Kansas veterans in the audience at the Crawford last night that saw "Mid night in Chinatown." When the Kansas regiment was in San Francisco they saw Chinatown at all hours from noon till midnight and back again, so they went last night to see the awfulness of the Chinese quarter depicted on the stage. What they saw wag horrible enough in more ways than one and the amount of killing; done on the stage would cause the Chinatown Highbinders to blush for their inactivity. The play traveled, bag and baggage from the mountains in the first act, to the Owl saloon in San Francisco in the second act and then the docks, the prison and opium den. The realism was absent. The scenery was wrinkled and worn and the actors were in the same class. Both needed an artist's touch and some fixings. Still it would be a mighty bad play that did not please some one in the au dience. The second act closed with the villain in pursuit of the girl who.denied his attention and then just in the nick of time the wronged woman stepped upon the scene, drew an old time horse pistol from beneath the shawl she wore and ordered "Frank Meredith" to stop. He stopped and said that time worn say: "What, Blanche Graham, you here? Stand aside." And then Blanche and the horse pistol say "Yes, it is I. Then the gallery gives one cry of ap proval that grows and swells the longer Blanche holds the wavering horse pis tol as the curtain is low in coming down And then in the third act comes the most dramatic scene of alL The drunk en comedian wanders to the docks to commit suicide but the water is too cold. The wronged woman wanders to the same place for the same purpose but she falls asleep on some barrels. Then along comes the villain and raps the comedian on the head and drops him into the water and the stage hands throw a quart of salt in the air to rep resent the spray. Just then the wrong ed woman wakes up to announce that she has seen it all so the villain inserts a knife between her ribs and runs off A policeman and the hero come along and then the villain returns in time to say that the hero "did this horrible deed. And the hero says, "Who is here to save me" and then the come dian who fell into the salt barrel comes up at the call of time and says, "I.' Just that and nothing more. The wronged woman is needed in the next act because the management only carries a small company so she cones to life, poor, soul. The hero is sent to prison and his sweetheart tells the jail er, in a tone that would fail to sell a cracked water pitcher if she were con ducting an auction, that he must let her Joe escape and the jailer opens the cell door and tells the hero to hike. When the hero reaches the door he meets the villain coming in. "Foiled." They have a hand to hand fight and roll over the dusty stage while the jailer stands by. The hero shakes off the villain and starts for freedom when the villain draws a revolver and is about to shoot but the comedian who fell in the salt barrel comes up from the dressing room where he has been smoking a cigarette just in time to stand in the doorway and point the same horse pistol, hereto fore mentioned, at the villain and to hold it while the upper part of the au dience yells approval. It was grand. The opium den is a very tame affair and was rather short on Chinamen. The opium smoked in the scene was proba bly corn silk or catalpa pods. It was a good sized audience that saw the play and from the amount of applause there were a plenty who really seemed to en joy it, but then some people would en joy anything. P011T0 RICO ORANGES. First Shipment Under Free Trade Reaches New York. New York, Oct. 24. Much interest is being taken in local fruit circles at the moment in the receipt of oranges from Porto Rico and in the prospects of an increase in the trade in the Porto Rican product in competition with the fruit grown in California and Florida, says the Journal of Commerce. During the past fortnight between 4,000 and 5,000 packages of oranges have arrived in this market from Porto Rico. These represent the first shipments of the season and are, moreover, the first shipments reaching this country since the establishment of free trade rela tions between the United States and Porto Rico. They have nearly all been sold at auction at prices below the nor mal figures for California fruit early in the season. The question of the price the Porto Rican fruit may com mand has not yet had a fair demon stration, in that the receipts thus far have been particularly inferior in qual ity, especially so far as the packing of the fruit is concerned. The latter bears every indication that the shippers are new at the orange business. How ever, in a few weeks the fruit will be arriving, it Is believed, in excellent con dition. Porto Rican product is essen tially an early product, maturing much sooner than either the Florida or Cali fornia article. In fact the last of the old season's California product is about here and arriving to the extent of a car or two a day. RUSSIA IS CRAFTF. Czar'a Forces Encroaching on British Territory in Japan. New York, Oct. 24. A dispatch from Tokio to the London Times and the New York Times says that the Japanese pa pers doubt whether Great Britain will oppose Russia strenuously, but are con vinced that British interests are me naced. The opinion is expressed that Russia is seizing the opportunity furnished by the absence of the Japanese ministers from Pekin and St. Petersburg and the departure of Prince Ching from Pekin.

Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder AN ELEGANT TOILET LUIONY Used by people of refin&men for over a quarter of a century AT A HIGH. LEVEL. It Is Proposed to Hold Standard of American Wheat New York. Oct. 24. In explanation of the recent action of the produce ex change whereby No. Z hard winter wheat has been approved as a contract grade after June 1, 1902, N. R. Schoe maker, a member of the committee hav ing the matter in charge, said: "Within a few short months we have actually found this condition of affairs existing. It was shown before the com mittee that millers abroad, as well as at home, were changing their machinery to grind No. 2 hard winter wheat and that No. 2 hard winter was steadily growing in favor as it became known. The wheat trade of the country has been almost revolutionized in the past lo years, and rules that were adequate 20 years ago must be modified or amended to meet new conditions. Fifteen or twenty years ago the large exportable surplus of winter wheat came from what is now known as the middle west but with the development of the south west this condition has entirely changed. In the last five years of our grain trade, it is safe to say a large percentage of the winter wheat exported has come from tfci" southwest. This being so, why should not this new wheat be admitted to our grade, and the business based on its marketing and distribution be en joyed by us? A simple and happy so lution of this problem is to make the standard reasonably high and then maintain it always. A buyer will then know that whatever happens he will al ways get a high grade of wheat on con tract. With three different varieties of wheat from widely separated sections of the country all high grade it will be possible for us always to hold our stan dard up to one level, and that a high one." VOTING AT SOLDIERS' HOME Booths For Veterans to Ba Erected Outside of Grounds. Leavenworth, Kas., Oct. 24. Governor Rowland of the Soldiers' home has re ceived an order from President Mc Mahon of the national board of man agers of soldiers' homes, forbidding the erection of voting booths on the home grounds. Trustee Frey and the commissioners will erect the booths near the entrances to the home instead of inside the grounds as was originally intended. The only result of the recent order will be a slight inconvenience to the vet erans by compelling them to walk some distance before they can cast their vote. GRIFFIN'S MONOGRAPH.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJRNAIi, THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 23, 1301. 8 Pyspopsee (Seho A healthy stomach, capable of digesting a good, square meal, Is a great blessing. It keeps the body strong by insuring plenty of nourishment. In fact, it means perfect health. But some thing must be done when the stomach is so tired that it cant digest what you eat, for undigested food poisons the blood. "We can recommend a preparation that completely digests all classes of foods that is Kodoi, Dyspepsia Ctjke. It gives the stomach perfect rest and allows you to eat and enjoy the variety of food that is necessary for maintaining health. It never Jails to cure indigestion, after everything else has failed. It is pleasant to take and can be used in all conditions. "For many years I suffered from chronic indigestion, and 16 seemed as though nothing was going to do me any good. On the advice of a friend 1 commenced using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It gave me Immediate relief and I continued its use, until now I feel that I am cured." Henry F. Cramer, Wendelville, N. Y.

Local packers estimate the amount of prunes of the crop of 1900 now on hand at 1,000 car loads. The estimated crop of Santa Clara county prunes this year is forty million pounds, which, together with the estimated twenty million pounds of the Italian variety produced by Oregon, Washington and Idaho, constitute the stock to be disposed of. So far this season neither the com mercial packers nor the California cured fruit association has made any partic ular effort to dispose of this season's crop. All feel inclined to get last year's crop out of the way first. The growers are showing signs of uneasiness, but the fruit association is confident of event ually finding a market for the new crop at a good figure. Prices remain the same with few buyers. STANDARD BOX CARS Adopted by United States, Mexican and Canadian Lines. St. Louis, Oct. 24. A standard box car for the railroads of the United States, Canada and Mexico has been adopted at the semi-annual meeting of the American Railway association. The dimensions call for a car 36 feet long, eight feet and six inches wide and eight feet high, inside measurement, making a cross section of 68 square feet, the car having a capacity of 2.448 cubic feet. Side openings to be six feet wide. The committeemen on the standard dimensions of box cars and car service worked on the question of standard freight box cars two years and a half, and the adoption of its recommendations was considered the most important ac tion taken by the meeting.

English Fight American Invasion in London Trade, New Tork, Oct. 24. The London corre spondent of the Herald cables the follow ing developments in the "tobacco war' in Great Britain: "The service rendered to English trade by Messrs. Willis, Player and the various other manufacturers who resisted the ef forts of Mr. Duke, the head of the Amer ican tobacco trust to purchase their busi ness, is beiner everywhere acknowledged in the trade. Some who have not studied the subject sufficiently deep, have ex pressed the opinion that the British amal gamation will have nothine to fear if Mr, Luke is going to proceed on the scale which prompted him to offer the Messrs. Willis iiUAv.uw ($45.0o0.00u for their busi ness, but others point out that the profits on this great British concern are equiva lent to about 4Vs per cent on the ,000, t, while in buying up Ogden's limited Mr. Duke gave a price which leaves him a return ot only 4 per cent on nis money. "Just after Mr. Duke bought Oerden'a he placed an order for 25 new cigarette mac tunes ot a pattern aireaay m use, each capable of turning" out 2o0.000 ciga rettes a day. This order has now been cancelled before delivery was begun. "An important fact in the war is that the Imperial Tobacco company and the amalgamated British firms hold nearly all the chief trademarks. They represent nearly w per cent of the best trade and nparlv 4(1 tr rftnt of t.hf .raj-sr trartfa. The British firms may soon offer the re tailer the choice of selling only their goods or at least ot reiusmg to sell the American company's goods.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 24. The Iron Trade Review, discussing the market condi tions this week, says: "The week has brought added strength to the situation; whatever of easier con ditions is to be encountered later on, there is no foreshadowing of it in act ual events. No revival of export trade is in sight, but home demand is so broad and so strong that iron and steel man ufacturers speak confidently of the first half of 1902, while many do not hesitate to predict another year of pronounced prosperity. The one overshadowing fea ture of the iron trade today in all de partments is the unprecedented friction resulting from the failure of the rail roads to provide for the freight offered tnem. "The story of car shortage is so fa miliar as to lose its force, but the pres ent congestion is without parallel in the records of 1S99 and with many manu facturers and consumers is the upper most question, beyond any consideration or prices or production. No relief is in sight before the close of the navigation season, when the pressure from the ore and coal trades, both of which, like oth er lines, are today seriously handicap ped. "In some instances the failure of trans portation facilities has actually reduced production in Iron working lines ana many foundries daily face the alternative of shutting: down. "The mills that were closed by the steel strike have made no great headway as vet in renlenishinz- the stocks in distribu tors' hands, depleted in the weeks of snut aown, ana will pass into tne new year under full headway with prospects of operation throughout the winter at the present record sace. "The strong factors in the situation that have been pointed out week by week seem to be emphasized. "The railroads have placed rail con tracts that insures the operation of the United States Steel Corporation's rail mills up to September, 1902, and the pre sumption is that other producers are not far behind. The Pennsylvania railway's 150,000 tons of rails, it is reported, are to be distributed among mills on its lines as heretofore. Including this the business DooKea ana carried over runs to tuny 1, 5,000 tons. Second in importance only to rails is the tonnage booked by structural mills each week, adding to the excess of DooKings over snioments. COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS. One of the best effects in stage re alism are the apple trees in Wm. A. Brady's production of "Lovers' Lane," by Clyde Fitch, which will be seen at the Crawford tonight. The trees in the third and fourth acts are marvels of workmanship. In the third they are supposed to represent the fall of the year, the trees heavily laden with fruit, and the fourth act, springtime, the trees in full bloom, with blossoms which seem to permeate the atmosphere with per fume. Mr. Brady has triumphed and has succeded in getting away from the time-worn painted stage trees of old. YOTE f OR tTTeTaIR. Proposition to Revive It Will Soon Be Submitted. The members of the Kansas State Fair association met last night at the Com mercial club to discuss the proposition to be met next election day. To secure the passage of the measure for a half mill levy for the benefit of the improve ment of the fair grounds, it is conceded an unusual effort will have to be made. Each member of the association is ex pected to constitute himself a member of the committee to help get out the entire vote election day. The circular letter issued by the Commercial club setting forth the reasons why the state fair proposition should be passed is ready for circulation. They will be sent out to the voters living in the county but outside the city limits. HELD WITHOUT BAIL. Fait of an Ohio Woman Charged With Murder. Dayton. O., Oct. 24. After hearing all the evidence, Police Judge Snediker de cided to hold Mrs. Mary Belle Witwer, charged with the murder of her sister, Mrs. Anna C. Pugh, to the common pleas court without bail. After the prosecution had rested its case Attor ney Long, counsel for the defense, made a motion to dismiss, asserting that the state had failed to (Show a crime had been committed, and that not enough evidence had been presented to war rant the prisoner being held to the higher court. The judge would not entertain the motion, and the defense offered no wit nesses. Immediately after the argu ments had been made Judge Snediker bound Mrs. Witwer over. She was un moved by the announcement. A SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST. Rightly selected food will cure more than half the diseases. Try a scientific and healthy breakfast: Fruit of some kind, perfectly cooked; a dish of Grape Nuts, with cream; two soft-boiled eggs. Put two eggs in a tin pint cup of boiling water, cover and set off for nine min utes. Whites will then be the consist ency of cream and most easily digested. One slice of bread with butter; cup of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. On that breakfast you can work like a horse and be perfectly nourished until noon. Your nervous troubles, heart pal pitation, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney complaints and various other disorders will gradually disappear and firm solid health will set in. Why? You have probably been living on poorly selected food, that is food that does not contain the required ele ments the body needs. That sort of food, and coffee, is the direct or indirect cause of more than half the ills the hu man body acquires. Grape-Nuts is a perfectly cooked food and both that and the Postum Food Coffee contain fine microscopic particles of phosphate of potash obtain ed in a natural way from the grains of the field and by scientific food experts incorporated into food and drink. That element Joins with the albumen in food to make gray matter, which is the fill ing of the brain cells and the nerve centers all over the human body. A man or woman thus fed is scientif ically fed and rapidly grows in vigor and vitality, and becomes capable of conducting successfully the affairs of life. To produce a perfect body and a money making brain, the body must have the right kind of food and the ex pert food specialist knows how to make it.. That is Grape-Nuts and Postum Ce real Food Coffee, produced at the pure food factories of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., at Battle Creek, Mich. Physicians Recommend Castor ia "NASTOKIA has met with pronounced favor on the part-of physicians, pharma- ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is -used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Oastoria is unquestionably the result of three facts First The indisputable evidence that it is harmless Second That it- not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi lates the food: Third It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OiL It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system not by stupefying it and our' readers .are entitled to the information. Hall's Journal of Health.

EXACT COPVOF WRAPPEH. TO BE 100,000,000. Director Merriam'a Estimate of Popu lation in 1910. Washington, Oct. 24. It is expected that the census committees of both houses of congress at the coming session will consider legislation looking to the establishment of a permanent census bureau. This action has been agitated for several years and the movement will be renewed this session. It is claimed at the census office that approximately three-quarters of a million dollars could be saved from the cost of the next cen sus if the officials could profit by the knowledge and experience of the present census. A quintennial manufacturing census also has been suggested. The idea so far as it has taken shape and as it probably will be outlined in bills to be introduced in both houses is to pro vide a census force of 100 or 200 people, including as far as possible experts in each important branch of inquiry. Director Merriam today estimated that the total population of the United States including the new possessions, in 1910 would be about 100,000,000 people. The work of the present census is progress ing rapidly and the first volume of the report on the population of the United States will be out in December and the final report by July next. The principal reports, it is claimed, are being gotten out over three years in advance of the usual time. BRIEF TELEGRAMS. Wellington, N. Z., Oct.24.
