'f LAST EDITION MONDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 4, 1901. MONDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. 4 I." 1 f VA PUT TOJHJESSING. Party Leaders in Ohio Find Elements of Uncertainty. Tremendous Failing Off in Reg istration of Cities. LOCAL DIFFERENCES. Add to the Complications in Ur ban Districts. indications That Republican Plurality Will Be Reduced. Election News From All Orer the Country. Columbus, O., Nov. 4. The apathy that has prevailed during the present campaign in Ohio continues up to the eve of the election. The campaign has been quiet as it was short. The falling oft of the registration in the larger cities, the unusually indefinite indica tions of the poll books and the general lack of interest have put the leaders to guessing. While the Republicans are confident of winning, they fear that the small vote may greatly reduce the pluralities that they expected on the state ticket and probably make the re sult in the legislature close on joint ballot for senator. The Democrats are depending on the traditional results of "off years" in Ohio and on their opponents being the greater sufferers from the shortage in the vote. They say the Republicans are having troubles in all of the larger cities, on which they depend for their pluralities; that the rural districts are Democratic and not disturbed by local differences as are the cities, and that the accidents are all their way. Local affairs enter into the election tomorrow more than usually. Besides a full state ticket and members of the legislature there are full county tick ets. In Cincinnati the vote on the ex tension of lease of the Cincinnati Southern railroad is a nfcst important factor. In Cleveland Mayor Johnson's taxation theory and factional troubles complicate the situation. In Toledo the old centennial controversy and in Col umbus "local option" and other ques tions are diverting attention from both national and state issues. The discussions have not been on the usual lines of specific issues. The Re publicans accepted Senator Hanna's ap peal "to let well enough alone," and the Democrats replied: "Let us do better." In his last appeal to voters today, Chairman Dick, of the Republican state committee, repeated the keynote of standing by the principles of McKinley and supporting President Roosevelt in carrying out the same. Chairman Dick predicted a larger Republican plurality than two years ago and a majority of 11 senators and of 30 representatives, or 41 on joint ballot, if a full vote is cast. Secretary Gilliam and Col. W. A. Tay lor estimate the reverse, and Taylor gives figures on a peculiar system of percentages in the shortage of the vote. The weather, which has been un usually pleasant throughout the cam paign, became very disagreeable last night and the indications are that it will continue cold and threatening to morrow. BOTH CLAIM KENTUCKY. Louisville, Nov. 4. Democratic and Republican leaders were at headquart ers bright and early today, and both sides reiterated their claims of ma jorities ranging from 5.000 to 7,000 in the city. The Democrats appear more confident than the Republicans, but the Republicans have worked harder than for years. Outside the city throughout the state there has been al most no interest and surprises are looked for in the legislative race. The weather all over the state today is fcright and cool, and all indications are for fine weather tomorrow. WHISKY IN CAMPAIGN. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4. The only de velopment today bearing upon the cam paign is a long statement from Chair man Lindsay, of the Republican state committee, discussing a circular issued by the state liquor dealers' association In opposition to Judge Sedgwick, Re publican nominee for supreme judge. The circular says Judge Sedgwick is Inclined to prohibition and unfriendly to the liquor interests. Chairman Lind say in his statement says it is time the jyudiciary of the state is freed from saloon domination and minimizes the Importance of the circular. Chairman De France, for the fusion lsts. said that with bright weather he looked for a satisfactory vote in the country districts. Outside of South Omaha, there will be few rallies in the state today or tonight. ONLY COUNTY OFFICERS. Denver, Nov. 4. Only county officers are to be elected in Colorado tomorrow and In most localities the campaign has been made on local issues. There has been a bitter contest between Republi cans and Democrats in Arapahoe coun ty, which includes the city of Denver, and both sides claim to have the advan tage. The Republican leaders charge that the Democrats intend to resort to repeating and other illegal practices and conflicts at the polls between Republi can watchers, appointed as deputy sheriffs and the police officers, who are under Democratic control, are feared. NEW YORK CLAIMED BY 40,000. New York, Nov. 4. Save for the final preparation for marshalling forces at the polls tomorrow, the municipal cam paign is at an end. Seth Low and Ed ward M. Shepard, the rival candidates for mayor: Justice Wm. Travers Jerome, fusionist nominee for district attorney of New York county, and the other leaders on the two tickets have made their last speeches and except for a few scattering meetings there will be no more rallies. Both sides are determined to bring out the heaviest vote possible and to that end the organizers will de vote all of their time until the polls close tomorrow night The eve of the election finds both sides apparently confident. The Democrats claim victory for the entire city ticket, by from 30.000 to 40,000 majority, while the fusionists advance practically the same claim. The fusionists assert that they are certain of the defeat of Robert !A Van Wyck, the present mayor who is a candidate for justice of the supreme court. They also express great confi dence in their ability to elect Edwin M. Grout as comptroller. Grout was elect ed president of the borough of Brook lyn four years ago as a Democrat. The sharpest contest of all the bitterly con tested campaign, is between Justice Wm. Travers Jerome, fusionist, and Henry W. Unger, Democrat, for the im portant office of district attorney of New York county. Each side claims success for its man with equal positiveness. The weather indications are favorable and there probably will be a heavy vote. CROKER PREDICTS VICTORY. New York. Nov. 4. Richard Croker expressed himself as follows as to the result: "We are going to win. The figures we gave out last Saturday are conserv ative. Kings county will give a good majority for Shepard. Shepard will ge a large majority in New York county I am not saying this to boast. -Allowances have been made on all sides. The Democratic ticket from top to bottom will win in all the boroughs. DR. FISKJLECTED Popular Preacher Goes to Washburn College. Accepts Position of Field Secre tary at $2,000 Per Year. Dr. D. M. Fisk, pastor of the First Congregational church, has been elected to the position of field secretary of Washburn college and has accepted. He will also occupy the chair of professor of sociology. He will resign the pas torate, of the First Congregational church. The salary of the new position is $2,000. Dr. Fisk has been pastor of the Con gregational church for two years. Re cently there has been some dissatisfac tion in the church, and there was strong probability that a fight would have been made on the re-election of Dr. Fisk to the pastorate. During the past year, Dr. Fisk has been giving a series of lectures of soci ology at the college, and has demon strated that his services as professor of this subject would be of Value to the college. Under the terms of his em ployment by the college, he will work over the state raising money and solic iting students, in addition to his work as professor. Before coming to Topeka, Dr. Fisk was pastor of the Plymouth Congrega tional church of St. Louis, Mo. Prior to that he was in Toledo, Ohio. He was for several years a professor in Hills dale college. QUAYLE AS COMMISSIONER. One of the Candidates to Be Voted For Tuesday. William Quayle, who is a candidate for county commissioner in the Third commissioner district, which includes the Fifth and Sixth wards of the city of Topeka, Oakland and all the terri tory south of the Kansas river, is rec ognized as one of the most successful farmers and stock raisers in the county. He has lived in Shawnee county for 23 years, and during all that time on his farm five miles south of Topeka, al though he has property interests in Topeka. Mr. Quayle was born in Pennsylvania but he is a thorough Kansan, and knows the meaning of push and energy. He it was who started the fund to bore for oil south of Topeka. A week ago he saw his efforts crowned with success when the last of the necessary $5,000 was raised, work will soon be com menced on the well which Mr. Quayle thinks may prove that there is oil un der Topeka as well as elsewhere in the state. While Mr. Quayle's name appears on the Democratic ticket, his candidacy is receiving the support of many men of all parties who believe that the county commissioners should be chosen on a business basis and should be careful and successful in the management of their own affairs to be safe guardians for the interests of the county. Mr. Quayle has never been a candidate be fore, and he probably would not be now had not his friends, who think he would make a good county commissioner, forced him into the race. SCHLEY TIRED OUT. Says Fatigue of Inquiry Neces sitates His Taking: a Rest. Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 4. In declining an invitation to visit Knoxville, Ad miral Schley assigns this as bis rea son: "The fatigue incident to the prolonged sessions of the pending investigation has necessitated my taking a long rest, and I feel therefore that I am com pelled to decline courtesies that would have been very agreeable to me to ac cept under other circumstances." M'NALL DENIED NEW TRIAL Judge Hazen Decides There Was No Error in Insurance Case. Judge Hazen this morning overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of the Metropolitan Life Insurance case against Webb McNall. The "insurance company sued McNall for $1,515 and got judgment before a jury in the district court. McNall, while insurance commissioner, compell ed the Mutual Life to pay a 2 per cent tax for the business done in Kansas by that company in 1S98. The law author izing that tax went? into effect January 11, 1S99, and the company claimed that they owed for the year 1899 and not for the year before the law was pass ed. McNall construed the law different ly and levied a 2 per cent tax for 1898. The company sued him and secured judgment and McNall's attorneys asked for a new trial on the ground that the court erred in rulings. The court thought otherwise. The money has been paid into the state treasury. Gold For Export. New York, Nov. 4. Lazard Freres have engaged $1,500,000 gold for export tomorrow. Weather Indications. Chicago, Nov. 4. Forecast for Kan sas: Partly cloudy tonight and Tues day: slightly warmer tonight; southerly winds. STOPSJEDDEN, Judge Hazen Says He Can Send No One to Jail. Hands Down Decision in Waldo Calvin Case. DOES NOT TOUCH- LAW. Fails to Pass on the Inquisition Feature. Action Was the Outgrowth of Liquor Prosecutions. Judge Hazen, In the district court, this morning decided that Assistant Attorney General Redden has not the right under the county attorney "in quisition" law to punish those who re fuse to obey his summons to testify before him in liquor cases. He did not go further into the case by deciding the legality of the inquisition law. The case was brought in the form of a habeas corpus in the name of Waldo Calvin. Calvin was subpoenaed to testify before Judge Redden in re gard to illegal liquor sales. Before the hour set for Calvin to testify his at torneys brought a writ of prohibition to prevent Judge Redden from compelling Calvin to testify. Judge Hazen held that a writ of prohibition could not be brought in such a case. Calvin was then arraigned before Justice T. T. Wright and fined $10 for refusing to obey Judge Redden's subpoena- At torneys Clemens and Hungate brought a habeas corpus case to secure Calvin's release from serving out the fine, on the ground that Judge Redden had not the power to punish for a misdemeanor those who refused to comply with his summons. The decision of the court was as fol lows The petitioner was charged, tried and convicted before a justice of the peace for failing to obey a subpoena of the assistant attorney general appointed for this county, and has petitioned this court to be discharged from imprison ment upon the ground that the failure to obey such subpoena does not con stitute an offense. It is contended on behalf of the peti tioner that the failure to obey a sub poena Issued by the assistant attorney general under section 1 of chapter 233 of the session laws of 1901 does not con stitute any offense: that said chapter 233 was not enacted in accordance with section 16 of article 2 of the constitu tion, which provides that no law shall be amended unless the new act con tain the entire section or sections amended and the section or sections so amended shall be repealed. This act shows that it was intended to amend section 49 of chapter 101 of the general statutes of 1887. Judge Wrebb. in his compilation of the statutes of 1897, takes section 8 of chapter 149 of the session laws of 18&5 and subdivides it, making two sections thereof and numbering them 49 and m. The specific constitutional objection urged against chapter 233, laws of 1901, is that Judge Webb had no authority to subdivide section 8 of said chapter 149, laws of 1885, and that when the leg islature attempted to amend section 49 of chapter 101 of Webb's statutes it was an attempt to amend a part of original section 8, chapter 149, of the laws of 1885, and that under section 16 of article 2 of the constitution the legislature was not authorized to amend a part of a section. It is further contended that if the constitutional objection is not well taken and if said chapter 233 is valid, that under this statute a person can only be guilty of an offense by failing to obey the subpoena of the county at torney. If this .last contention Is well taken. then it is unnecessary for the court to pass upon the constitutionality of the law in question. The rule is that where a question at issue can be decided with out passing upon the constitutionality of a statute the trial courts will usual ly refrain from passing upon the con stitutional question raised. By section chapter 149, laws oi 1885, the legislature authorized county attorneys, in certain cases, to subpoena witnesses before them for examination, and gave the county attorneys author ity to punish for contempt a witness for disobeying the subpoena. In the case of In re Sims, 54 Kan. 1, the su preme court held that insofar as this statute authorized county attorneys to punish for contempt for disobedience to subpoenaes it was unconstitutional. Section 11. chapter 149, laws or isso. gives the same authority and imposes the same duties upon the assistant at torney general as is conferred upon the county attorney by section 8 of the same chapter. By section 1 of chapter 233, laws of 1901, in the enforcement of the prohibi tory liquor law, the county attorney is authorized to subpoena witnesses before him, and the section further provides that anv witness disobeying a subpoena so issued shall be guilty of a misde meanor and punished accordingly. There is no express authority given in this statute to the assistant attorney general to subpoena witnesses, and if he has any such authority it must be by virtue of section 11, chapter 149. of the laws of 1885. It is not neoessary in this case to determine whether the assistant attorney general has authority to subpoena witnesses before him or not, but the important question is whether section 1 of chapter 233, ses sion laws of 1901, makes it a criminal offense for a witness to refuse to"obey a subpoena of the assistant attorney general. This statute does not, m terms, make the failure of a witness to obey the subpoena of the assistant attorney general a criminal offense, but t does make a disobedience to the subpoena of the county attorney an offense. This being a penal statute, it must be strictly construed, and with such construction it appears that the failure to obey the subpoena of the as sistant attorney general is not made a criminal offense. We have no crimes in this state except such as are made so by statute, and in determining whether a crime has been committed we must look to the statute and ascertain whether the act complained of consti tutes a crime; and when we look to this statute we find that it is only the fail ure to obey the subpoena of the county attorney that constitutes a crime. It is with the legislature, subject to certain constitutional limitations, to determine what acts shall constitute offenses, and the courts are not authorized to enlarge the scope of the statute by making any act an offense which the legislature has not declared to be an offense. It was argued on behalf of the re spondent that it was the intention of the legislature to make the failure to obey the subpoena of the assistant at torney general an offense, and that tills intent can be inferred from all the leg islation on this subject. But it is a universal rule of construction in penal statutes that the court must find the intent of the legislature in the statute which is under consideration. In this case it is not a question of the authority of the assistant attorney gen eral cr that of the county attorney, but the question involved is beyond that. The legislature may confer authority upon different officers to perform the same act and may provide that the failure or refusal to obey the authority of only one of them would be criminal. And while the legislature may have au thorized both the county attorney and assistant attorney general to issue subpoenas, yet it has only made it crim inal to disobey the process of the county attorney. With these views entertained by the court, it is unnecessary to decide the constitutional question raised by the petitioner. The court holds that the failure to obey the subpoena of the assistant at torney general does not constitute an offense, and the petitioner must be dis charged. SHOT HIM DEAD. Killing at Manhattan Over a Fuss at Gambling. Manhattan, Kan., Nov. 4. At an early hour this morning Tom Ashby, a notor ious colored gambler, shot and instantly killed Frank Wolf In this city. Wolf Is a tinner and unmarried. Ashly, it is said, has served a term in the peniten tiary. He surrendered to the officers without a fight. The murder took place about four o'clock this morning. The men were en gaged in shooting craps and it is sup posed they had been at it all night. Wolf was shot through the heart and died instantly. RUNAWAY BALLOON. Returns to Land After Trip Far Out to Sea. San Francisco, Nov. 4. The nine oc cupants of the car of the balloon which escaped from this city yesterday after noon landed safely today. The balloon was landed near Peseadero, 60 miles from this city, and but a short distance from the ocean. The balloon was in the air nearly two hours, and at one time was out at sea. but was blown back over the land. Those who made the in voluntary trip were: A. L Dodge, Ed Foster, Jr., Walter Leon, C. P. Vildecoq, J. F. Leonard, M. L. Howarth, John A. M. Swift and Mrs. J. P. Gunsaulus. When the balloon broke its bonds it sailed away in a southeasterly direc tion. South of Redwood City it struck another air current which took it toward the ocean over the summit of the coast range. Nineteen miles from La Honda, and about six miles from Peseadero, lies Beatty Thomson's place. Thomson was up and out when the balloon came along by Wurr's mill, and the grap pling hook slipped through the trees and raked along brushy patches of ground. By this time much of the gas had been let out of the balloon, and the power was weak. The rope that had snapped and caused the captive t become a runaway was sweeping along the ground when it came within Thorn son's reach. He grasped it and bora down with all his weight. This stopped the flight. Soon the balloon was brought to the ground, and eight over joyed passengers and. the aeronaut alighted and took supper with Thom son. A. L. Dodge, one of the passengers, describing the trip, said that the balloon first started toward Oakland, and, af ter circling about for a time, drifted southward, and became stationary for a short period. Then, in response to a breeze from the eastward, it sailed over the San Mateo hills and stood far out over the ocean. The hearts of all of the occupants of the wicker cage were filled with fear as the prospect of being dumped" into the ocean stared them in the fact. Twice, according to Dodge's story, the balloon dipped close to the surface of the water, but rose again each time to a considerable altitude. Finally, a breeze from the sea caught the balloon and carried it back over the land, and, after dragging the cage through the tops W a grove of trees, landed on a side hill six. miles from Peseadero. "It was a terrible adventure." said Dodge, "and I would not undergo the same adventure again for any consid eration. Everybody was more or less shaky, while the lady passenger and two or three men were so sick that they sat in the bottom of the basket throughout the trip. We were all pretty glad when we finally landed without sustaining any injuries except from fright." BURTON IN INDIANA. No Appointments Expected Be fore Not. 15. Washington, Nov. 4. Word has been received from Indiana, where Senator Burton is visiting, that as there is noth ing here especially requiring his pres ence just now, that he will not return to Washington until about November 15.' No Kansas appointments are ex pected to be made before the senator's arrival. OLD SOLDIER IN JAIL. John McCarty Is Charged With Pen sion Frauds. John McCarty, formerly an inmate of the Dodge City Soldiers' Home, was brought to Topeka from Marshalltown, Iowa, Sunday, by a deputy United States marshal. McCarty is charged with being a pension fraud. The information sets forth that for more than five years he has been im personating his dead brother, James Henry McCarty, living in the tSate Sol diers' Home and drawing his pension. McCarty is confined in the county jail here awaiting his preliminary hearing. His home was in Iowa formerly. About two months ago he left the sol diers' home at Dodge City and was visiting relatives in Iowa when arrested. SCHLEYRECALLED Admiral Again Takes Stand to Makes Corrections. Two New Witnesses Appeared For the Admiral. BOTH WERE RULED OUT Because Court Considered Their Testimony Immaterial. Lemly Submits a Mass of Docu mentary Evidence. Testimony All In and Argument Begun by Hanna. Washington, Nov. 4. At 2:20 p. m. Mr. Hanna opened the argument in the Schley court of inquiry. Washington, Nov. 4. Two witnesses were before the Schley court of inquiry today, and both of them were called in the interest of Admiral Schley. They vere Frank B. Richards and George Lynch, both of whom went through the Cuban campaign as newspaper corre spondents. Mr. Richards was on the press boat Premier, and testified con cerning the interview with Capt. Sigs bee while the latter was commander of the St. Paul. Mr. Lynch was on the Somers N. Smith, and was called to re late his recollection of Capt. Sigsbee s communication to that boat concerning which Photographer Hare and Corre spondent Scovil had testified. The first witness to take the stand today was Capt. Sigsbee, who was re called for the purpose of reviewing his former testimony. Admiral Schley also was called for this purpose and his statement occupied a good portion of the time of the court. His testimony in chief occupied five days, and as many of his statements were made offhand there were innumerable verbal changes to be made, as well as some additions. During the day Capt. Lemly submit ted for the consideration of the court a large mass of documentary evidence, including Capt. Goodrich's report con cerning cable cutting made on April 29, 1898: the reports made by. Capt. Philip, of the Texas, Capt. Higglnson of the Massachusetts, Capt. McCalla of the Marblehead and Capt. Cotton of the Harvard; Commodore Schley's report of May 30; Capt. Wise s report of the op erations of the Yale off Santiago; the log of the Spanish ship Cristobal Colon Admiral Sampson's orders to Capt. Fol ger of the Scorpion, all of the reports of the commanding officers of the battle of July 3; Commodore Schley's letter to the senate; one of Capt. Sigsbee'3 letters, and also the letter of the secre tary of the navy to the senate, as printed in executive documents. There has been no change of the pro gramme arranged on Friday for the presentation of argument by counsel. Mr. Hanna will lead off for the gov ernment, and it was expected at the be ginning of today's session that he would begin his presentation of the case dur ing the afternoon sitting, but that he would not be able to conclude until to morrow. Mr. Hanna will talk for about three hours, and will be followed by Capt. Parker on behalf of Admiral Schley. It is expected that these two speeches will consume most of the court's time tomorrow, and it is now believed that Mr. Rayner, for Admiral Schley, and Capt. Lemly, for the gov ernment, will conclude the presentation of the case to the court on Wednes day and probably part of, Thursday. While Capt. Sigsbee .''was on the stand Mr. Rayner asked, him if he had megaphoned or otherwise communi cated to the press boat Premier while off Santiago the fact that the Spanish fleet was not in Santiago. The witness replied that he had not done so, al though he would have been justified in saying so, if he had thought it proper under the circumstances of war. When Capt. Sigsbee was excused, Capt. Lemly announced that he had no more witnesses to call. Frank Richards was then sworns-Sr. Richards stated that he was on the dis patch boat Premier during the Santiago campaign, and that the boat was hailed by Capt, Sigsbee on the night of May 27 or 28. At this point Capt. Lemly ob jected to this line of evidence, on the ground that Commodore Schley was not present during the conversation, also that it was not material to the issue. Capt. Lemly referred to the ruling of the court regarding the Potts Sears conversation, which had been ruled out, and claimed that this was exactly a parallel case. Mr. Rayner contended that this al leged conversation with Capt. Sigsbee is one of the vital points of the case; that it bears directly upon one of the most important specifications of the precepts. Mr. Rayner said he did not desire to impeach the reliability of Capt. Sigsbee, but will endeavor to impeach very strongly his recollection. After a short argument by Mr. Hanna, in sup port of Capt. Remly's objection, the court retired to consider toe point raised. The court, was absent but a short time. When it returned Admiral Dewey announced that as the testi mony of this witness is not considered material to the case, the objection is sustained in accordance with the court's previous ruling. Under this ruling neither Mr. Rich ards, nor Mr. Lynch could testify, and Admiral Schley took the stand for the purpose of correcting his testimony. The admiral was suffering from a cold and his voice was quite hoarse. He began his corrections at the very first of his testimony. Most of these correc tions were of typographical errors or the changing of the words to make sentences read more smoothly. In referring to his testimony regard"-. ing the arrival of the Harvard on May 27, with a dispatch from the secretary of the navy, informing him that "all of the department's information indicated the presence of the Spanish squadron at Santiago," which dispatch he had de clared had never reached him and there fore he had never seen it, or heard of it until recently. Admiral Schley cor rected this portion of his testimony by stating that neither his flag lieutenant nor his secretary had ever seen the dis patch, nor remembered it. He had pre viously included his first lieutenant in this statement. Referring to his testimony regarding the reconnoissance of May 31, the ad miral changed his statement that "fifty. If not more, shells passed over the fleet, to read that a number of shells passed over the fleet." He also changed his evi dence concerning suspicious movements in the harbor of Santiago July 2, to read that "before dark I noticed in the harbor a good deal of smoke coming up. ihe ofheial record, he said, made him say that he saw tie smoke after dark. Coming to his answer to a question in reference to his order sent below during the early part of the battle to stand Dy to ram," Admiral Schley em- pnasizea ma former testimony by stat ing that "therwas a distinct intention to ram on the part of the Maria Teresa. Admiral Cevera's flagship and the viscaya. tie also reiterated his confi dence in the Brooklyn's speed by stating mat "witn one engine and all the boiler power" she could have gotten up all speed that was needed. As to the passing of the flying squadron by the Eagle on the morning of May 19 and the latter's conveying tne information that there was no news, Admiral Schley corrected his testimony wherein he said that he was not mistaken as to this by stating that he might have been mistaken. Admiral Schley also corrected his statement regarding his visit to the nagsnip New York when he had made his preliminary report of the battle of July 3 to Admiral Sampson. The record, he said, did not make the matter quite clear. "The admiral said to me," con tinued 'the witness, "that 'I had omitted a very important detail, which was to state tnat the Few York was present.' The witness corrected but one of his an swers to the questions of the court. This question was to the effect that as he was ordered to go to Cienfueeos to establish a blockade, was it not his duty unaer tne circumstances to communi cate direct, either by signal, or other wise, with the senior officer of the ves sels returning from Cienfuegos and ob tain from him all information regarding tne situation at or near that port. The answer, as corrected, reads: "The communication which he made to me through the Eagle, indicated that Capt. McCalla knew I was bound for Cien fuegos and I, of course.took it for grant ed if he had had anything important. he would have notified me of the fact) without my inquiry. At this point Admiral Schley an nounced that he had no more correc tions to make. Capt. Parker called the admiral's at tention to the evidence of Capt. Sigsbee in which he had said that when he went on board the Brooklyn the whole question, so far as he could remember was coal and nothing but coal and that Commodore Schley already had made up his mind to go to Key West. That was not the first question Sigs bee asked me at all," replied Admiral Schley. "I did not say to Capt. Sigsbee that we were going to Key West, as the signal will show. Sigsbee was talking on the subject of coal and since he mentions it. I recall the fact that his statement was that he was command ing a vessel that was one-tenth of a mile long and that she could not turn her engines over under 150 tons of coal day, also that he could not remain there very long, that he would have to go vo Key West." "Had you as a matter of fact, made up your mind at that time to go to Key West?" "I had not." Admiral Schley then referred to his conversation with Admiral Sampson re garding his instructions about not bom barding fortifications as follows: "I ought to mention, in connection with the talk I had with the admiral in re lation to his instructions about not bombarding fortifications that I recall the- fact that he and I were talking about the guns that were probably there and I asked him whether he knew if they were Honturia and Krupp guns. He said 'Probably both,' and that recalls the circumstances to me. And again, in relation to the testimony of Lieut. Roys Judge Advocate: I do not think the purpose of calling the witness to re vise his testimony is to enable him to contradict witnesses who have been on the stand." Air. Rayner: "He can contradict any witness if we want him to do it. That is a remarkable statement. Your wit nesses have a right to rebut ours and we have not a right to answer them! Mr. Roys was an entirely new witness and he testified to something new. I asked the question if we would have the right to call up witnesses to con tradict new witnesses, and the court said of course we would; otherwise we would be barred out entirely." The judge advocate: "I think as Lieut. Roys is the only witness who re mained uncontradicted I have no objec tion to make." Mr. Rayner: "I think that is a great mistake that he is the only witness contradicted. I think there are fifty witnesses uncontradicted, according to my recollecti n. That is a highly ob jectionable statement for the judge ad vocate to make." The judge advocate: "If the court please, I am to be corrected by the court only, and not by counsel, who has frequently attempted it." Mr. Rayner: I suggest, may it please the court, that during the trial of this case it is highly improper and objectionable for the judge advocate to say that this is the only witness that is uncontradicted. It is objectionable be cause it is not a fact. That remark means to say that Commodore Schley has contradicted every witness on the stand. It is highly improper, highly objectionable." Admiral Dewey: The court has no objection to the admiral's reference to Lieut. Roys." Admiral Schley: "I merely wanted to- say in connection with Lieut. Roys' testimony that I heard nothing of the protest which he speaks of of the de sire of Lieut. Sutherland to coal. I am quite sure he is mistaken about that. because it would have been impossible on that day for that ship to coal." Admiral Schley was then finally ex cused, and Capt. Lemly offered a large number of documents as evidence. The report of Capt. Goodrich on cable cut ting was objected to and Capt. Lemly withdrew it. Among this documentary evidence was a letter of the secretary of the navy to the president of the senate dated February 16, 1899, n response to the senate reso iitirn of .Tamiarv 23. 1R99. submitting facts and military records affecting the proposal that certain officers in the navy be advanced according to the nom inations sent to the senate on December 7, 1898. The proposition of Captain Lem 1v to introduce this letter as evidence. occasioned considerable discussion. Mr. Ravner objecting to any ex parte state- i merits being made part of the records.

THINKS jp DEAD A Russian Student Who Was With Miss Stone Is Conrinced That She Is No Longer Alire. COULDN'T STAND IT. Hardships of Winter In Moun tains Too Setere For Her. Consul Dickinson Still Blamed For Failure of Negotiations. New York, Nov. 4. The positive con viction that Miss Ellen M.Stone is dead, is contained in a letter which has just been received in Boston from Ivan Rudolff, a student, who was with the American missionary when she was captured by brigands in Turkey togeth er with Mme. Tsilka, says the Boston correspondent of the Press. According to this letter the snow In the mountains into which Miss Stone and her companion were taken by their captors was three feet deep, three weeks ago at the time the letter was written. Even in the summer time the snow upon the highest summits of these mountains does not melt. The first snow fall usually comes at about the middle of September and by the middle of October the mountain passes are ab solutely closed to travel. It was the conviction among Miss Stone's friends in Samakov, Bulgaria, three weeks ago that she could not possibly have survived the rigors of her captivity until that date. There was a hope that Miss Stone might have been concealed by her captors in the mon astery of St. Ivan of Sila, which is near the Bulgarian -Turkish frontier and on the Bulgarian side of it. So gre.4 was the anxiety of the Bulgarian gov ernment to do everything in its power to assist the United States representa tives in their effort to find the mis sionary that they adopted the exceed ingly unpopular measure of ordering a search of the monastery. This search disclosed the fact that Miss Stone had not been there. The discovery was dis appointing to Miss Stone s friends In Samakov. According to the letter of Ivan Rudolff, Consul General Dickin son has retarded the release of MIks Stone seriously. It is said that Mr. Dickinson by his criticism of the Bul garian government has antagonized the government. It is understood in Samakov, the brigands who were in immediate charge of the captive were under positive in structions to take her life at the first indication of the probability of a skirm ish with the troops. The hitch in the negotiations for Miss Stone's release arises from two causes: first, the fierce antagonism between United States Diplomatic Agent Dickin son and Russian Minister Bakhmeteff; second, the missionary and diplomatic disinclination to accede to the brigands terms, though moderated.says the Sam akav correspondent of the Journal and Advertiser. The relations between M. Bakhmeteff and Mr. Dickinson are strained to the breaking point. The for mer being friendly to Bulgaria, does not want his agent to finish the final trans action on Bulgarian soil. Mr. Berth, a Macedonian student at the American Institute at Saftnakov. one of the agents sent to negotiate with the brigands.haa returned from Raslog. He reports that the brigands consider Mr. Dickinson's money offer as too small. They say they do not want to agree to terms that would disgrace them with their brethren. Discussing the amount of ransom. Missionary Baird, purser of the Samakov institute, says: "If the brigands get a quarter of what they still ask, bands will spring up like musnrooms, samaKov itself will furnish many and Bulgaria will be ruined. The brigands began negotiations with us by asking twice Miss Stone's weight in gold. Even a fourth of this sum is preposterous. If the Bulgarians had either trackers, or blood hounds, Miss Stone would not be ppending her sixteenth day with the brigands." THIEF SET TO CATCH A THIEF. New York. Nov. 4. According to the Vienna Politische Correspondenz, quo ted by the correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times in the Austrian capital, a well known Mace donian brigand has been instructed to obtain information as to whether Miss Ellen M. Stone is still alive. Two other brigands, well acquainted with th country have been commanded by TT. S. Consul General Dickinson to try to get in touch with the missionary's captors. The prefect of the Sofia police has also sent two messengers. Miss Stone's re lease is again represented as being im minent. QUESTION OF MAJORITY. The Only Interest in Iowa Campaign is How Much.

XOPKTv A STATE JOUE2STAIV MONDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 4. 1901. SPORTINGNEVVS; Washburn Lost to DeaTer'8 Eleren Saturday. Men of the Mountain Team Far Too Heary For Topeka. T11E SCORE WAS 18 TO 0 DenTer Paper Declares the Home Team Was Unfair. Foal Piay Disgusted Spectators Early in Game. The football team of the Denver Ath letic club crossed the Washburn goal line for the first time in the history of tiie four annual contests between the two teams, in the game at Denver Sat urday. The D. A. C. team won the game by a score of IS to 0. "It -was a hard fought and one-sided same, and the only attempt made by D. A. C, to kick a goal from the field, the manner in which that team won the two previous annual games, was very neatly blocked by Pierre Ander lon. The scores in the game Saturday were fairly earned, inasmuch as D. A. C. did not pursue the same tactics as In former occasions, when it is charged through unfair officials and in other tvays the Washburn team was robbed f the ball. It was, however, an uneven fight against fearful odds. It was in reality a battle for supremacy between a team of lightweight amateurs against a heavyweight team of professionals. Washburn made a magnificent showing when it is considered that in the line up the Kansans appeared as pigmies beside the giants of the mountain town. magine Dadisman, weighing 180 pounds and about 5 feet 8 inches tall, as opposed to Kirkoff, 6 feet 3 inches in bis stockings, and weighing 230 pounds. Four individual men in the A. C. line each weigh 200 pounds and over, while in the Washburn line 13 found only two men who tip the scale beam at ISO pounds. In the four annual contests the ag gregate score between the two teams amounts to 28 to 5. in favor of D. A. C. The first game resulted in favor of rWashburn by a score of 5 to 0. This was in 1897. By a strange coincidence the score was the same, 5 to 0. in the next two succeeding games, although they were won by D. A. C. Both times the score was made by a place kick to the goal from the field. In the game Saturday, Cavanaugh for the D. A. C. was the first Denver man who ever crossed the Washburn line with the pigskin. Plans were discussed Saturday to bring D. A. C. to Topeka, but all ne gotiations were stopped upon the re sult of the aame. Washburn with her present lightweight team is unable to cope with the heavier men trom me Colorado town, and it was deemed ad visable to abandon the project. The Denver Athletic club was anxious to make the trip, and arrangements will nwHnnhtpfllv m Triad far a. visit here of that team next year. Washburn wfll undoubtedly have a heavier team next year. Washburn boys are quite satisfied with the treatment accorded them. The frame was not marked by so much slugging as has been the case hereto fore. Although the lineup included a professional champion prize fighter, J. F. Gallagher, and other heavy profes sional men, who have been in training. the Washburn boys came out without being badly bruised up. A new man, Urlan, a brother of the TTrlan who was in the game last year was responsible for about the only com plaint made by Washburn. It is claim ed he played tha game almost as much Kith his fists as otherwise. The Topeka boys ware entertained royally by the members of the Athletic association at the club rooms. Saturday night they enjoyed a box party at the performance of "The Burgomaster at the Broadway theater. WHAT DENVER THOUGHT. Speaking of the game the Denver SPost said: The first game of the Denver Athletic club for this season against Washburn turned out a. win for the cherry and black, but it was not a win to be proud of. Denver was penalized for offside play and holding in the line twice.and should have been punished several other times. High tackling was so common by the local team that the people got tired of Shouting "foul tackle!" and except for the play of Browning, who did some of the prettiest running back of the ball a man could wish to see, Gallagher, who played a very clean game at tackle and made holes whenever required, and the three backs, the work of the team was iioor rather than good. On the other hand, Washburn's game was very clean, and though the eleven looked light and overtrained. It kept well up to the work. Washburn's trick plays invariably failed; most of Den ver's worked. WAS THE MEDICS' SAT Easily Defeated tha Eleven from Atchison Saturday. The football team of the Kansas Medical college and the eleven from the Atchison Athletic club played The first successful game of football seen on the Topeka gridiron this season. Tha Med ics scored a victory of 12 to 0. The game was successful from tha standpoint of weather. Rain fell inter mittently during the playing. The ground was muddy, the ball was slip pery, the players were soaked, a large score was piled up, long and exciting runs were made and there was just enough wrangling. The doctors out played the visitors, but the playing of both trams was ragged. When within 15 yards of the Atchison goal line in the first half the ball was fumbled twice by each side. Atchison punted out of danger. Jackson and Stewart made two good runs, carrying the ball back to where Atchison had punted from and then Stewart on a fake play circled tha right end for a touchdown. Lakin caught the ball on the kick out and also kicked a difficult goal. In the sec ond half the Medics by steady gains made the second touchdown by bucking the line and Lakin kicked goal. Score 12 to 0. The teams lined up as follows: A. A. C. Position. Medics. Skorgard right end Lakin Hart right tackle........

Excommunicated Chicago Priest Pub licly Humiliated. Chicago, Nov. 4. There was an in tensely dramatic scene in Holy Name cathedral Sunday, when, in the presence of fully 1,000 parishioners, Jeremiah J. Crowley, the excommunicated Roman Catholic priest, was publicly humiliated by order of the authorities of the church. Father Crowley had entered the church unobserved, pp-ssing up the center aisle, and had taken a seat almost under the pulpit. Solemn high mass was being celebrated at the time. When the pres ence of Father Crowley became known. Rev.. Francis J. Barry, chancellor of the archdiocese of Chicago, was hurriedly sent for. Upon entering the cathedral he went straight to the seat where the excommunicated clergyman was kneel ing and ordered him to leave the church. Father Crowley refused to go, saying: "Put me out if you dare." The strain was intense, and one wo man in the congregation fainted. There was no resort to force, however. Chan cellor Barry signaled to a man in the choir loft and the sound of the organ ceased and the singing of the choir was hushed. The priests in the altar stopped the solemn service at the end of the "Gloria" and walked to the benches and laid aside their golden vestments. The altar boys marched out of the sanctuary through a side door, and the priests, cltid in their cassocks, followed. The next moment the hundreds of incandescent lights in the vaulted arches were ex tinguished and the candle lights on the altar were put out. The strain was broken when Chancel lor Barry appeared in the pulpit and said: "Owing to the presence in this sacred edifice of an excommunicated priest, the solemn high mass has been suspended. We will proceed with a low mass." No sermon was delivered, however, and the mass was at an end before the congregation was calm again. The parishioners lingered around the ca thedral and watched the deposed priest as he hurried away. None spoke to him. In a statement Issued last night Father Crowley insisted that it had been his desire to avoid involving any of his brother priests In contesting the order depriving him of the privilege of wor shipping in Catholic churches and that accordingly, he had attended the church of Archbishop Feehan's own parish, which is the cathedral. He announced that he should continue to attend the services of the Roman Catholic church. Ovation for Sousa'a Band, London, Nov. 4.

Iola Police Are Busy Arresting Delinquent Taxpayers. Bnsiness Men Fail to Pay Their Occupation License. WAS SOT IGNORANCE. Everyone Given an Opportunity to Settle Up. No Favoritism Is Shown 31 any Warrants Issued. Iola, Kas., Nov. 4. Police court was a busy place Saturday. From early morning till dewy eve the police were busy making trips out in the business section and bringing men before the Judge who had neglected to pay their occupation license tax. Ignorance of the tax was certainly not the reason it was not paid. The city papers have talked often about the tax, and the clerk printed notices that all delinquents after the first of November would be arrested. Every opportunity was given everybody to pay up, and those who failed to do so refused either because they are opposed to the tax and unwilling to pay, or be cause it slipped their mind. The first man who was reminded of his neglect by the appearance of brass buttons, helmet, billy and warrant, was J. W. Coffey. L. H. Brewer read the warrant to him. Mr. Coffey Is a past master in the use of Huent English, but he broke his own record this time. He blessed the officer, the city clerk and the police judge. He likewise paid $10.50 occupation tax and $1 fine and $2.50 costs. Mr. Coffey runs a furniture and household supply house. Seven other warrants were issued. George Zike, who runs a hot tamale tent on West street, got one. Alex Brown, who is an agent for fruit trees and for a book, got one. George De vinne, who ran a tamale tent on North Washington, had one coming but left town too soon. O. A. Lucky, a con tractor, has one. Jim Mills, who runs the Tremont hotel, possesses one. Sam Mills, who sells cigars on the North side, is a winner. J. B. Atchison got the last one. No favoritism will be shown. The merchants and others doing business in Iola who have willingly contributed co the fund, which has proven most wel come to the city treasury, will be pro tected and every man compelled to pay whether he wishes or not. The city clerk says the amount collected by this ordinance from traveling peddlers is surprising,- and that in no other way can the travelers who compete with home men for the trade of the town be made to help bear the running ex penses. REVIVAL TENT DOWN, Terrific 'Windstorm at Winfleld Cre ates a Panic Winfleld, Kas., Nov. 4. The big re vival tent fell Saturday night, caused by the terrific wind and rain storm. About 3,000 people were crowded into the tent when it commenced to fall, and a panic ensued. Men hallooed, women screamed and children crieii. The lights were all turned out, and but for the presence of mind of Evangelists Wiilliams and Alexander, a catastrophe would have resulted. Men held up the center poles until the last person was out, when the whole tent went in. The tent will be erected again and further meetings held. IS A HEALTHY ORDER. W. XL C. of Marysville Has Active Membership of Forty-five. Marysville, Nov. 4. Mrs. Sophia W. Norton, of Blue Rapids, wife of Martin Norton, department commander of G. A R., inspected Lyon W. R. C, of Marys ville, and found it in a most healthy and thriving condition. It has an active membership of forty-five, and la doing splendid work, having paid out In the year's work for relief purposes $209.80 cash and $75.00 other than money, be sides making over 2,000 visits to the sick. Mrs. Emma Forter, sister of Congress man Calderhead, is president of Lyon W. R. C. To, her untiring work and loy alty for the good of the order and the old comrades the corps of which she is at the head has been successful and prosperous. In the evening a banquet and recep tion was tendered by Lyon W. R. C. to Department Commander Martin Norton and his estimable wife, at which many old comrades and their families were present. A most enjoyable programme followed the banquet, the welcoming re marks being made by the president at TACKLE BACK FORMATION. enemy's line from Columbia's Tackle Back Lyon W. R. C, Mrs. Emma Forter. A chorus of fifteen voices was an enter taining feature of the evening's recep tion, as were the recitations of J. Earll Miller and Miss Pearl Heister. Depart ment Commander Norton made some excellent and patriotic remarks touching on the Grand Array of the Republic, and a most pleasing and entertaining feature not down on the programme was the beautiful, soul-stirring address of Con gressman Calderhead. The congressman is at home when talking to a crowd of old veterans, but not any more so than when addressing a multitude on the po litical issues of the day. His remarks were to the point and well received. SONS OF HERMANN TO MEET. State Lodge to Assemble in Topeka November 19. Marysville, Nov. 4. The Kansas state lodge of Sons of Hermann will meet in Topeka, November 19 and 20. Three of the state officers live in Marysville, PJrnst Lange being grand president.Aug. Hohn, grand treasurer, and Fred Kohlke, grand guide, who will be present, includ ing the two delegates, August H. Leif heit and Julius Plegge. The lodge is a strong one here, and is growing rapidly throughout the state. Mrs. Minnie Lange and Mrs. Matie Kohlke are the delegates of the auxiliary order, and ex pect to be present. OFF FOR WASHINGTON. Congressman Calderhead to Leave Kansas About Nov. 15. Marysville, Kas., Nov. 4. Congress man Calderhead: and his private sec retary, Bam Forter, will leave for Washington about the middle of the month, and expect to remain there un til the adjournment of congress. Dur ing recess he has been almost con stantly at work for his constituents, his pension mail being enormous. There i3 less kicking in the Fifth district over postmasters than in either of the oth ers, which is largely in Congressman Calderhead's favor. His appointments have been clean, consequently but few changes will be made. He has never endorsed a man for office in the-district without consulting the masses of Republicans and found out that he was right before going ahead. He will be renominated by acclamation. There is a growing sentiment all through the Fifth district that it won't be long be fore Congressman Calderhead will reach the United States senate. This belief is growing rapidly. He is in ex cellent health, and he will do the dis trict and state valuable service this winter. A GOOD RAIN FALLS. Wheat Fields in Central Kansas Get a Good Soaking. Salina. Kas., Nov. 4. This vicinity was visited by a good rain Saturday evening, which will be of much benefit to growing wheat, as many fields had begun to show need of moisture.

I think there Is nothing like wheat for cattle, and in a short time, when they become a little fatter, I am going to sell the entire bunch with the exception of a few head, and not be bothered with any stock this winter." BETTS IN TROUBLE. Winfleld Lad Acquitted of Murder to Be Tried For Perjury. Winfleld, Kas., Nov. 4.

The barkeeper saw her at work, but while he was endeavoring to put the flames on one side of the house she waa drenching the other with kerosene and lighting a second blaze. The flames were finallv extinguished before much harm was done. Mrs. Sparks' two minor sons had been buying liquor at the joint, it is said. Made a Fortune in Klondike. Abilene, Kan., Nov. 4. Rev. P.

Washington, Nov. 4. Former Comp troller James H. Eckels and his wife, of Chicago, were guests of the president and Mrs. Roosevelt at luncheon Sun day. Mr. Eckels was not embarrassed to sit' at the table where Booker T. Washington sat a few weeks ago. He said the Democrats would have to get a better issue than that of social equal ity before it could hope to get back into power. "It is cheap politics, trying to make an issue over the dining of a black man at one's table," observed Mr. Eckels. "Such things won't bring the Demo cratic party back into power. Some more weighty issues are necessary, some policy that will command the sup port and the confidence of .business men. I believe the Democratic party, however, is getting back upon common ground. In Illinois the organization is in the hands of the gold Democrats, and while my successor In the office of comptroller of the currency, Mr. Dawes, Is making a good fight for the United States senatorship, the chief difficulty in his way is a prospect that the Illi nois legislature to be chosen next year will be Democratic." Impecunious Lover: Be mine, Amanda, and you will be treated like an angel. Wealthy Maiden: Yes, I suppose so. Nothing to eat and less to wear. No; thank you. Tit-Bita. STOKESJS DEAD. Man Who Slew Jim Flsk Is No More. Victim of Long Suffering: From Complication of Ailments. STORY OF HIS CRIME Made Interesting bysthe Close of His Earthly Career. Only the Mansfield Now ilemaius of the Trio. New York, Nov. 4. Edward S. Stokes died at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary McNutt, In St. Nicholas avenue. He had been unconscious for three days.and his death was expected at any hour. This fact was concealed from all in quirers. At 2:45 o'clock his nurse and valet at tempted to turn him in bed. They then noted a change In Mr. Stokes' face, and hastily summoned his sister, and, at her request, telephoned for Dr. John S. Billinga. As it was known Dr. Billings would not arrive for some time. Dr. Ed ward H. Rogers was called. He found Mr. Stokes dying. There were present at Mr. Stokes deathbed besides his sister and Dr. Rog ers, his nurse, Walker, and his valet, Henry Dennis. He was unconscious to the last and died apparently without pain. He had suffered more than two years from a complication of diseases, of which the most serious was Bright's disease. EARLY LIFE OF STOKES. Edward Stiles Stokes was born in Philadelphia in 1841. His father, a brother of James Stokes, was a man of comfortable fortune, and young Stokes had a good education. He went to New York when he was 20 years old and be gan business as a produce dealer. Then he went into the petroleum business with his father and tljey built a refining plant at Hunter's Point. It was the height of the Tweed ring days, and James Fisk, Jr.. senior part ner of the Wall street firm jsf Fisk,Gould Martin, was in the glory of his career. With one of his partners. Jay Gould, he controlled the Erie railroad, and on his own account he owned the Fall River and Bristol lines of steamers. Fisk's house, at 359 West Twenty-third street, was an Aladdin's palace peopled with ballet houris and given over to rollicking suppers and general riotous living. The head of Fisk's household was Helen Josephine Lawler-Mansfleld. Fisk's wife, Mrs. Lucy D. Fisk, lived at a hotel when she was in town, but spent most of the time at Fisk's country home in Vermont. TROUBLES OVER A WOMAN. At this stage of Fisk's career he met Stokes. The young oil manufacturer was already a conspicuous figure in the Delmonico district. He was a notably handsome man. Fisk and Stokes first met in January, 1864. January seems to have been the fated month in all the re lations between these two. On January E. S. STOKES, Who Died Saturday. 4, 1864, they had their first conference; on January 9, 1872, Fisk breathed his last from the effect of Stoke's pistol; and on the night of January 6, 1873, the jury in Stokes' first trial found him guilty of murder in the first degree. At the first meeting there was no shadow of the impending a-agedy. Their relations became of the most cordial character, and the young Philadelphian began to make money fast. Stokes and the woman who presided over Fisk's household betrayed Fisk, who started in an a campaign of re venge. He threw the Mansfield over board. He attacked young Stokes in the courts, and Stokes was arrested on a charge of embezzlement. The wo man retaliated by turning over 1o Stokes letters said to compromise Fisk with the Tweed gang. An indictment was found against Stokes. There were other troubles, and finally Stokes de cided to kill Fisk. On the day Fisk was shot Stokes drove by a circuitous route to the Grand Central hotel. In his defense he positively swore he did not know Fisk was at the Grand Central hotel or likely to be there. The jury on his first trial evidently did not believe this story, for it found him guilty of murder in the first degree. It was affirmed by the prosecution that Stokes did know Fisk was there or would be there. STOKES KILLS FISK. When Fisk reached the hotel Stokes was already in the house, and, as the prosecution asserted, waiting at the head of the stairs When Flsk did ap pear and was part way up the stairs, Stokes, resting his arm on the post at the end of the balustrade, deliberately fired a shot, which struck Fisk in the breast and resulted in his death six hours later. Stokes, after his first shot fired another, which made a flesh wound in Fisk's arm. Then he fled through the parlor, throwing his pistol under a sofa as he ran. He was captured In the rear of the office on the floor be low. His plea at the time was self-defense, he alleging that the meeting was acci dental; that Fisk had a pistol In his hand, which he was aiming at Stokes, and that, seeing this. Stokes fired and got in the first shot. Stokes was convicted and sentenced to be hanged on February 28, 1873. On a new trial he was again convicted, and on a third trial was found guilty of murder in the second degree. He served lEour years in Sing Sing. When the "Prince of Erie," as Fisk was known In those days, took up Stokes he recognized in him a peer in craft. But Stokes had In addition to his shrewdness a charming person.Even in his later years the most virulent of his thousands of enemies crlled him a handsome man. Stokes conquered wo men with ease, at least the' women with whom his associates then flocked. His whole bearing attracted Fisk, who put chances in Stokes' way gave him op portunities for making money that he could not have compassed unaided. Stokes caressed bis mustache, accept ed everything, and said little. FORTUNES SPENT IN DEFENSE. After Stokes shot Fisk the publia looked upon it as a cowardly murder, and clamored that Stokes should be hanged. He was held up tor universal execration. Yet the outcry didn't dis turb him as he sat in his cell in the Tombs. He felt he was all right, and was certain he would never feel the rope, and continued his stock deals in Wall street. His commissioner for these speculations was Cassius M. Reed, who pitied and admired him. Stokes' father had bankrupted himself In defense of hi son. When the second trial came on Ed Stokes was penniless. It was Cassius M. Reed who put up the money for tli second trial, .and relatives spent $60,000 on the third trial. It was W. E. D. Stokes, a cousin of Edward S. Stokes, it is said, who induced his father to spend this t60.000 in defense of Edward. For many years there was a bitter fight between the cousins, W. E. D. and Edward Stokes, which was made up at the death bed of Stokes. BEGINS LIFE ANEW. Stokes' behavior in Sing Sing was ex emplary, and in 1876 he stepped from the gate of Sing Sing free. Stokes found hirriHfWf a pariah. His old friends shun ned him. But one man clung to him Reed. At the time of the Flsk tragedy Stokes' wife took their young child, a girl, abroad and remained there. When the news came from Paris a number of years ago that his daughter was dead he did not shed a tear. MEETS JOHN W. MACKAY. Reed and Stokes began to embark on the sea of finance, and when Stokes pro posed the foundation of the Asphalt Block Paving company the capital was forthcoming. The venture was a failure. Stokes then proposed that they go into mining speculation. Mr. Reed agreed. Stokes drew regularly for ex penses upon Reed. In the west Stokes met John W. Mackay. On their first meeting Stokes was driving a fast trotting mare. Mackay made several attempts to buy it, finally offering $20,000, which was re fused. Ten days later a messenger call ed at Mackay's hotel and delivered tha following note: "Mr. Stokes begs that Mr. Mackay ac cept the mare Eva, with his compliments and best wishes." From that began the friendship be tween Mackay and Stokes. In conjunc tion with Cassius M. Reed, Stokes bought a mine from Mackay, which he placed in London and Paris at m, profit of nearly $2,000,000. Shortly after that Reed and Stokes became partners in the Hoffman house. John W. Mackay was also a partner. The hotel became the recognized head quarters of Tammany Hall and up state Democratic politicians. Meanwhile Stokes was acting as Mackay's agent in buying up the stock of the Bankers and Merchants' Tele graph company. Stokes became a stockholder in the now defunct Madi son Square bank and chairman of Its executive committee. Stokes' transac tions with Mackay in the Bankers and Merchants' Telegraph company were not satisfactory to Mr. Mackay, and he brought many suits against Mr. Stokes. Reed and Stokes began to quarrel. QUARRELS WITH REED. The partners continued to quarrel and finally Reed found himself on the out side of the Hoffman house in a back room on the. third floor of a Twenty third street lodging house. Then he be gan to sue Stokes for an accounting, including money loaned In the days when Stokes was In the Tombs under sentence of death. To this Stokes pleaded the statuts of limitations. Stokes did not make a success as a hotel proprietor, and finally ha sold out his Interest. WOMAN CLAIMS TO BE WTFH. When Stokes was taken sick this last time a woman, who says her maiden name Is Rosamond Langdon Barclay, turned up and claimed to be married to. Stokes. She said she first met Mr. Stokes when she was a little girl. Her father, she said, was Charles Barclay, ah Englishman and a friend of Mr. Stokes. She said she was educated at Farmington, Conn., and that twelve years ago she renewed her acquaintance with Mr. Stokes. She said the other day: "Mr. Stokes and I were married on October 18, 1900, at Shipmen's Point, Canada, by an Episcopal minister whose name I don't remember. He was stop ping at the hotel where we were. At that time Mr. Stokes was not in good health, and he wished to provide for me and arrange matters so that should he become seriously 111 I would have the right to visit him, even though our mar riage was not made public." On the return of Mr. Stokes to New York this last time he was an occupant of the house In which Miss Barclay lived in West Seventy-ninth street. He was taken out for a drive one day by Mr. and Mrs. Howard MacNutt, the latter his sister, and taken to their home, at 731 St. Nicholas avenue, where he died. Stokes, ever sine j he got out of prison, has gone to bed every night with the gas at full flame and a valet sleeping on a couch beside him. He was always afraid of Fisk's ghost. Josie Mansfield In 1891. at the age of 50, in St. George's Cnurch, Hanover Square, London, married Robert Liv ingston Read, a young man of wealth, who soon left her, but always supported her. He was a brother of Lady Falk land. Returning to this country she lived for a time in Boston, where In she was stricken with paralysis and re moved to the home of her sister In Philadelphia, the sister being the wife of a wealthy merchant. After Fisk's death Josie Mansfield sued Colonel Fisk's widow for $20,000, which she claimed the dead man owed her. -She did not win the suit. She went to Boston. The people hooted her as she passed through the streets, and she finally found a more congenial abode in t Paris. She was often seen at Baden Baden. In 1888 a woman known as Josie Williams died In Delanco, N. J., and was buried in Monument cemetery, Beverly, N. J. It was printed all over the coun try at the time that this woman was Josie Mansfield. For Shattered Nerves.

RAILROAD, NEWS. History of New Kock Island Line to 1 Paso. Eighty-pound Bails Laid on New Koadbed. SWIFT CONSTRUCTION 400 Miles to Be Completed in One Tear. Sares 222 Miles From Kansas City to 1 Paso. "When, In the first days of January last, the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railroad broke ground at Liberal, Kan., for its great southwestern extension, it had 402 miles of road to build to effect a junction at Carrizozo, N. II., with the Kl Paso Northeastern railroad, Car rizozo being- 114 miles from El Paso, thus giving a total length of line be tween Liberal and El Paso of 546 miles, says George K. Caldwell in the Rocky Mountain News. For the special purpose of complying with the behest of the Texas law that every railroad within the state shall bave state operating headquarters and also for general construction facilities and convenience, the road building was placed under the charters of five differ ent railroad corporations, viz: The Chi cago. Rock Island Pacific itself, the iCDH-CJiRA!ipa V p las VEGAS V--. ffiCajTZd'an O) Puerto dcluna jr T IE A AlAYA ""iXiS I vL2.'. A I -i-c PASO oA bvA1 pSj&iZ6''s Great 546 Kile Extension Chicago, Rock Island Mexico, the Chicago, Rock Island' El Paso, the Rock Island El Paso railway and the El Paso Northeastern. The road from Liberal to Santa Rosa, N. M., a dis tance of 272 miles, was placed under di rect Chicago, Rock Island Pacific construction, with J. H. Conlen, vice president of the Chicago, Rock Island Mexico, as chief engineer and general manager, while from Santa Rosa to Carrizozo. a distance of 130 miles, the construction work was given to the El Paso Northeastern. The road from Liberal to Carrizozo will be equipped with 80-pound steel; oak or pitch pine ties, and modern bal lasting. The construction work is su perb, heavy construction trains making 35 miles an hour with smoothness and safety over fresh laid tracks. This construction work constitutes the initial instance of 80-pound steel being laid on an actually new railroad to which can be added the even great er construction fact that the Roberts track-laying machine is here putting down 80-pound steel at a faster rate than any has heretofore laid 66-pound rails while, after the crossing of the Canadian river and the coming of cool er weather, Mr. Conlen expects to in crease the track-laying pace from the ,4resent two and one-half miles to three miles per day. Depots, sidetracks, switches, station houses, yardage, water tanks and Western Union telegraph lines have all "kept pace with actual road building, so that the line as fast as constructed is also ready for full and final operation. COAL FOR THE SOUTH. In connection with the Rock Island El Paso line is the new 30-mile railroad which Is to develop the immense Daw son coal fields, owned by the Rock Isl and, on Beaubien and Miranda grant In the northern part of Colfax county, New Mexico. This road will leave the main Rock Island rails at or near Lib erty station, 20 miles southwest of the Canadian river crossing, and will plant Its rails in the New Mexican counties of San Miguel, Mora and Colfax. The route is now under survey, and the road will be fully constructed by May 15. 1902. This New Mexican coal is to feed the southeastern portion of the Rock Island-El Paso line, and is also doubtless to largely supply Southern Pacific railroad demand with, and in Addition a heavy southern domestic cus tom. This road will also develop ex tensive and valuable New Mexican stock, mining and agricultural interests and as it will cross the Santa Fe at Maxwell City or Dorsey, will afford a general new north and south railroad connection. A NEW RAILROAD PACE. The completion of the El Paso road will give the Rock Island a route 22 miles shorter between Kansas City and El Paso than that of the Santa Fe be tween the same points, together with a saving of la fcours of time, the latter fact being largely due to the favorable alignment and maximum 1 per cent, grade i of the new Rock Island road. Again, the EI Paso route will shorten Rock Island distance 40 miles between Kansas City and Los Angeles over the Santa Fe, while the building this fall and winter of the new Rock Island Missouri cut-off between Trenton and Belknap will give that road an advant tage of 18 miles out of Chicago to Los Angeles, all of which shortening of dis tance and time foreshadows a Rock Island seizure of the great California fruit custom and southwestern cattle, wool and mutton shipments, together with the corresponding passenger traffic. In other words, the building of the Rock Island-El Paso road consti tutes a veritable western railroad rev olution, as the other great lines must perforce at least meet these new speed schedules. The entire line from Liberal. Kas., to El Paso will be in full operation by January 1, 1902. A PRAIRIE PRINCESS. Dalhart is the point of crossing of the Rock Island-El Paso road and the Fort Worth Denver rails, and is lo cated on the dividing line of Dallam and Hartley counties, the name of the town being coined from the first syl lable of each of the names of these re spective counties. With a present population of 400, Dalhart is soon to count her people by the thousands, and will in the near fu ture amply justify the proud name al ready being written by her progres sive citizens of "The Princess of the Panhandle Prairies." The town now has twenty business houses and a dozen or more structures of various kinds in progress of erection, including a $4,000 hotel and a commo dious Fort Worth Denver City rail road passenger and freight depot. Dalhart is the official headquarers and private home of Vice President and General Manager Conlen of the Chi cago, Rock Island Mexico railroad, the Rock Island buildings here includ ing a round-house, repair shops, pas senger and freight depots, general of- of the Kock Island Route. I fices, an abundant railroad water sup ply system, big stock yards and ex tended and well equipped yardage, it being in this latter direction the great storage and shipping point for the con struction material of the new road. As the principal operating, divisional and mechanical point for 400 miles of Rock Island rails, Dalhart will have a monthly pay-roll reaching up into the tens of thousands of dollars. The construction cost of the Rock Island-El Paso line will approximate $7,000,000, an average of about J15.000 per mile. 48,000,000 FRANC DEFICIT. One Undesirable feature of Govern ment Ownership of Railroads. The Matin, a French newspaper quoted by the Paris correspondent of the Lon don Times and the New Tork Times, says the French railways are about to ask the state to provide rather more than 48,000,000 francs, the amount by which the railways' net profits fall short of the fixed charges. The correspon dent says the amount of the railway de ficit will probably exceed 60,000,000 francs by the end of the year. He adds that the general budget deficit i3 likely to be 100,000,000 francs. "SR. BEN JOHNSON." Notice of His Appointment Sent Oat From City of Mexico. "Por haber renunclado su cargo el Sr. F. W.

The above is quoted from an official circular received at the State Journal office from H. R. Nickerson and A. A. Robinson, of the Mexican Central rail way. It is of interest to Topeka people, as will be seen by the following trans lation: "Mr. F. W. Johnstone having re signed to engage in other business. Mr. Ben Johnson is appointed superintend ent of machinery, effective this date." THE AUTOMATIC FIREMAN. New Stoking Device For Locomotives Is a Success. An automatic locomotive stoker bids fair to make the fireman's position a sinecure. Despite the fact that the con trivance is said to be proving a success, there is no talk of doing without the services of firemen, who will be expect ed to take more part in the running of the engines provided the fuel is taken care cf.

Santa Fe Delighted With Its Newly Purchased Arizona Railroad. tFrom the Chicago Record-Herald.l Officials of the Santa Fe who have in vestigated the possibilities of the Santa Fe, Prescott Phoenix road declare that it is the most valuable purchase aeciaea upon by the company in many years. The road extends from Ash Fork, Ariz., to Phoenix, a distance of miles, and the statement is made that its traffic is better balanced than that of almost any other road in the west, it is so peculiarly situated that the lumber, coke, coal and supplies needed for the mining districts of south west Arizona must come over' it; while the agricultural products of the Salt river valley are needed and must be had In the regions whence come the lumber and supplies. Accordingly, the percentage of empties which have to be hauled is exceedingly small. The road runs through the heart of one ol the richest mining districts in tne world. Near it are located the won derful Verdi mines of Senator Clark the Congress mines, the "Vulture and the Wickenburg district, rich in vein and placer. In addition, it taps a val ley of immense area capable of profit able irrigation. The Salt river valley now has an Inadequate system of irri gating canals, and it is said that the government soon will establish an irri gation reservoir, which will result in the reclamation of millions of acres of fertile lands. TWO-CENT RAILROAD FARE. New Michigan Law Wil Be Obeyed by All Roads. Officers of the railroads operating out of Chicago into Michigan are preparing to reduce their passenger rates to 2 cents per mile to comply with the law in that state fixing that as a maximum, which will go into effect the first day Of next year. For several days rate clerks repre senting these roads have been in con ference in Chicago making preliminary arrangements for establishing the new schedules. Tariffs have not yet been actually printed or even agreed upon in the hope that some delay may be had in putting in the lower fares. A general reduction of passenger rates from 3 to 2 cents per mile will mean immense financial losses to the roads operating in that state. There appears no disposition, however, fur ther to fight the new statute and it is probable that the lower rates will be announced soon. The Michigan Central is the only road that would be exempt from the new law if its officers saw fit to take ad vantage of their rights. This company is operating under a special charter which exempts it from statutory re ductions in rates. Stockholders of the Michigan Central will hold a special meeting in Detroit soon to consider the advisability of giving up the old charter and reorganizing the company under the general railroad laws of the state. LOW DENIES IT. Bays No Road Will Be Built From Belleville Now. A Concordia man has received the following letter concerning the rumor that the Rock Island would build south from Belleville: "I do not think there is any substan tial basis for the newspaper report that this company is about to extend its line south from Belleville. Such a line may be built some time, and I think ought to be; but I do not think the matter will be taken up at the present time. "M. A. LOW." SANTA FE ELECTRICIAN. W. J.

By promoting perfect digestion, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets produces strong nerves, restful, refreshing sleep, pure blood and good sound healthy flesh. They make the skin clear, the eyes bright, the mind cheerful. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a medi cine and more than a medicine. They digest the food and make it easy of as similation, and they relieve the in flamed, diseased condition of the mem braneous lining and the glands of the stomach and bowels. They help the di gestive organs over the hard places, and put them into a healthy, active condition. They effect a quick and permanent cure. You don't have to continue taking them forever, still it is well to have a box handy and take one at the first return of the trouble Perfectly well people are made sick by eating too much, or unwholesome food, but not if they take a tablet after eating. Treatment with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets does not necessitate dieting or any change of habits. They digest the proper food and act upon the other kind in such a way as to make it pass off quickly and harmlessly. You may eat and drink what you like, and as much as you like if you you like, when you like, and as much as you like if you take a tablet afterwards.

John Wall, the unfortunate machine man in the mill who a few days ago lost the ends of three fingers by catching his hand in a jointer, is recovering from the injury. It will be some time before he can go to work again. Georee Klussman. formerly a machinist in Topeka shops but for a year or more engineer in a large flouring mill at Man hattan, has returned and began work for tne sant-i Fe again today. He made tne change on account of ill health. John McClearie. a draftsman at Raton. N.

There is also a run open for a fireman on trains 417 and 418. west from Newton. Both positions will be jriven to the oldest men applying; between now and November 9. Hjalmar East, a brother of Fred East of the blacksmith shop, is in New York taking a post-graduate course of medical lectures before bidding good-bye to civil ization to go to India as a missionary. He was here for several davs during; the summer and addressed one of the Tuesday snop meetings. James Anderson, a laborer in Martin Reardon's gang working in the sheds, lost two pairs of shoes as the result of a Halloween ioke which someone played on him. While he was asleep the party slipped in, took them from under the bed and the next morning Anderson showed up for work in an old pair of boots. In the San Francisco "Call of recent date is a long editorial pointing out the commercial value of Point Richmond to the city of San Francisco. Point Rich mond is the extreme western terminus of the Santa Fe and about all it is it owejg to the railroad company. From ac counts it is a place of rapidly increasing population. John Mullen, a brother of James Mul len, assistant foreman of the blacksmith shop, left today for his home in San iTanclsco atter a visit in lopeKa ana Brookfleld. Mo., of about a month. He was formerly in the blacksmith depart ment of the Santa Fe here, and is now employed at that trade in the Golden Gate city. About h&lf of thft iob of nuttine on the roof of thtsheds has been finished. There probably isn t a place of improvement around the shops that will cause more satisfaction tnan tnis, lor tne old covering- has been in such shape a good while that during storms it has leaked badly and has made much discomfort for the men in that department. Joseph Fentiman returned to his Dlace in the blacksmith shop this morning after having been away about three weeks. Fentiman went to Colorado partly on nleasure as well as to look after some mining interests which he has 30 miles from Denver. He is sanguine in his be lief that something good is to come from the investment which he has made out there. Peter Schoenfeldt. who auit the black smith shop a few days ago and has since gone to work on the section, is just re covering from a scalp injury which he re ceived a few days ago. As he was help ing null out a tie another laborer acci dentally drew back with a pick, striking Schoenfeldt in the head and cutting a gash that required six stitches for clos ing. He is able to be on duty. Trf-tters received lately from Nate Caf- ferty, who went out to San Bernardino a few weeks ago to work at the machin ist's trade after finishing his apprentice ship in the Topeka shops, indicate that he is well pleased with the situation there. He has for a roommate Thomas Mulvihill, a former Topeka shop man, and of course meets every day lots of the fel lows who used to be employed by the company at this place. Fire Chief Snvder is determined to train his men to such a point of efficiency that thev will be able to do exactly the right thing at the proper time when called out to protect Santa Fe property. Saturday afternoon he took the fellows out for an other practice, and it is expected that this custom will be followed regularly once a week. So far a thorough drill in making couplings has been given, but hereafter the practice will be conducted according to the needs of the members. Tbo wife of David Cornelius, foreman of a gang in the car sheds, and her three children came near being seriously hurt in an accident which happened late Sat urday evening at the corner of Fifth and Madison streets. While going to the shops frr- htr husband a waeon driven by a negro collided with the carriage she was driving and herself and three little ones were tnrown to tne pavemeni. uuuMiy no one was badly hurt, but the front wheel of the buggy was torn off. Since the first of the month the com pany has quit issuing ice to the shop men. It is doubtful if during any season yet has there been such a consumption of this luxury as has been the case since the warm season began. This is due to the length of the summer and especially to the extreme heat and the drouth which existed. Those conditions made it neces sary for the men to drink unusually large quantities of water, which of course were kept cool by a plentiful supply of ice. George Gerberick. foreman of the air brake gang on the east side of the tracks, has been in Valley Falls for a day or two attending an old fashioned wood chopoing in which the neighbors of one conirhunitv gather and put in the day cutting wood for the winter use of some particular tarmer. unis event is equal m imnortance to that of the husking bees and log rollings which in the rural dis tricts used to be about as big a thing as the rink teas and the needle clubs are among the women nowadays. fiifforrt Balrd. a south shop machinist. has received a letter from Captain Wil liam S.

On account of a weak arch in the middle wall of the Lowman Hill school building now being built, the wall set tled several inches and had to be patched up. In the middle wall, of the building is a large, low arch which opens from the front hall into the rear vestibule. The arch was made too low and too long, and as a result could not bear the heavy weight upon it. The arch gave way several inches, and the upper walls settled. An extra arch was built under the" one that was weakened, and it is thought that the walls will be solid and safe.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the lull day flgraph report of that great news organization for exclusive afternoon pub lication In Topeka. t, The news is received In the State jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busv through the entire day. A complete copy of the night report la also received. The navy department finds It as hard to rout Schley as did Cervera. Disasters to British arms in South Africa are becoming so frequent that Lord Kitchener seems likely to fall into a. chronic condition of "I regret to state." It is being noted that a book recently published under the title of "Lives of the Hunted" has nothing in it about bank cashiers or Governor Taylor of Kentucky. The Louisiana Purchase exposition coming as it does just ten years after the World's Columbian, will be almost equivalent to a census for showing tha f progress made by the country. If Bchley hadn't gone into the navy probably he would have been a lawyer. During the sessions of the court of in quiry he has given abundant evidence of possessing qualifications for practic ing at the bar. The brewers are preparing to ask for another reduction in taxes. Nobody out side of the makers of beer can see any good result following the last cut in the tax. Why should there be another? The brewer appears never to get enough in return for his campaign contribution, in his own judgment The little plan of Russia and FTance to seize Turkey and divide" it between them while England is busy in South Africa seems to have been checked tem porarily. The sultan har, agreed to do everything demanded of him so that some other pretext must be found for starting a "rough house." The annexa tion of Crete to Greece probably will toe the next red rag flaunted. It is reported in New York that the National Bank of Commerce and the First National Bank of that city, each with a $10,000,000 capital, will be com bined into a great concern with $20, 000,000 capital. It is given out that this is a move by Mr. Morgan and his friends to keep ahead of the City Na tional party who are the Standard Oil faction. Their bank has -only $10,000,000 capital and its deposits are less than the combined deposits of these two others. During the past year twenty millions of American capital have been invested in German bonds, seventy-five millions in British government securities, prob ably twenty millions in European muni ipal bonds, a large amount in English tobacco concerns, and other large amounts in electric railway properties in England. Altogether, without doubt, a hundred and fifty millions have been placed in these investments. Probably these facts account in some measure for the recent shipments of gold to Paris. Terkes, street railroad king, has just paid $78,000 for one of Turner's paint ings. Dead and gone artists like Tur ner, Reynolds, Titian, Angelo and Raphael did not really paint any better than many painters of the present day, but artists of moment were fewer in their day, hence these so-called "mast ers" were able to build up a greater reputation than they could acquire if they were living now. Picture making, like music and acting, is largely- a matter of advertising. The "old mast ers' are well advertised. Oshkosh Northwestern: If Seth Low fails to carry the city of New Tork for mayor it may be because of the load of separate nominations with which he is burdened. He is the official nominee of the following organizations: The Citi zens union, the Republican city com mittee, the Greater New Tork Democ racy, the Brooklyn Democracy, the German-American union, the German American Municipal league of Manhat tan, the Austro-Hungarian Anti-Tammany association, the German American league, the Independent Democracy and the German-American Reform union. Then add to that that he is the personal choice of Mark Twain and also Carl Schurz and it is- plain to be seen that Mr. Low has all that he can com fortably attend to. UNCLE SAM'S 1803 BARGAIN IFrom the New Tork World.J The territory included in the Louisi ana purchase cost the United States $15,000,000 in 1S03. At 5 per cent., com pounded semi-annually, money doubles itself in about fourteen years. By such calculation that $15,000,000 put out at interest would now amount to some thing like $1,920,000,000. In the year 1900, according to official estimates just published, the agricul tural products of the states and terri tories included in the old Louisiana tract amounted to one hundred times the original purchase price to $1,500, 000,000. And to be added to this im mense sum there were millions of dol lars obtained from gold, silver and iron mines. A single year thus returns from the land itself almost every dollar which a hundred years would have brought treat tha original purchase money merely put at interest. That year, moreover, is but the crowning one of a long series with constantly increas ing values. It is not with, vain boasting that St Louis, and through her the whole na tion, will celebrate the centennial of an investment so well advised. GLOBE SIGHia TFrom the Atchison Globe.J When a mother talks of "training" her baby, the men smile. Children are becoming better, and parents are becoming more sensible. When a -man habitually neglects his busineps.it only takes him a few months to kerflop. When it is said of a man that he is "funny," it is usually a polite way of saying he is a fool. When the millennium arrives, the quiet, genteel man will be treated as well as the kicker. But not before. In automobile news, you see a great deal of the word chauffeur. It looks awfully important, but it means a fire man. Every old married woman tell3 that she cried on her wedding day. to give the impression that she was properly coy and scared. Some obituaries are as gushing as all accounts of weddings are. People do not refrain from "making fun" be cause of a death. When a man is doing his best, noth ing makes him quite so mad as to have some one come along and tell him he ought to join a church. The funniest thing at an amateur concert is when a great big fine look ing woman comes out, looking like Nor dica, and then begins to sing in a little cracked voice. Every time a man gets .mad, the ill temper passes from one to another of those around him until it finally reaches a boy, who slaps his sister, or kic,ks the dog. The 10-20-30 dramatics the women in dulge in, are. not appreciated by tha men. The natural woman is always a favorite with men: the over-cultured woman is always abused behind her back. A strange man recently visited Atch ison, and there was a flutter among tha girls because it was said he traveled a thousand miles to propose to an Atchi son girl. But he didn't propose. A North Atchison man's smoke house was turned over last night, and when a boy appeared this morning, to ask for the job of "fixing" it, he had him arrested. The boy turned out to be the right one. How a woman's nose turns up when a man intimates that he knows women! As though women were such a prob lem! They are not. Men know women thoroughly, and women know men, al though we all continue the old foolish practice of trying to fool each other. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News A wise man in business may be a fool in love. Lots of verse writers actually imag ine they w ere born poets. Only a fool would trust a man who says the world owes him a living. Some men manage to keep from be ing imposed upon by being disagree able. Distance doesn't lend enchantment to one's view of the almighty dollar. A woman doesn't really want to be unreasonable, but she simply can't help it. The man who waits for something to turn up is apt to discover that it is his toes. A run of bad luck may not remove the mote, but it takes the beam out of a fellow's eye. If some people were to weigh every word they utter it would be decidedly tough on the scales. When a man marrieS he thinks he is getting a mate, but often the supposed mate turns out to be captain. After the schooldays are over the sweet girl graduate is apt to learn that beyond the altar lies the washtub. Before marriage a man considers his best girl a little dear; after marriage he usually considers her a little ex travagant. The spinster carries a watch to en able her to husband her time, and the married woman for the purpose of tim ing her husband. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR, From the New York Press. You can convince ft woman, but you can never change her opinion. When a man is down on his luck he can keep on dropping forever, and it will be still further down. Farmers are not superstitious. They would rather have the price of plain, ordinary hay $40 a ton than to have nine barns full of four-leafed clover. There are lectures and lectures. Some people pay good money to hear one from a public platform and they would pay ten times as much not to hear one from their wives. Women could be just as different from what they are as you can imagine and they wouldn't be any nearer to man's idea of what he thinks they are before he learns enough to know they aren't. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The literary lion always has a den. The football always has a kick com ing. Some men lose a lot of time looking at the clock. You can't always tell a polished man by his shoes. It's not only the poor people who can't keep servants. The difference between a job and a position seems to depend on the salary. Sillicus "He has a keen sense of humor, hasn't he?" Cynicus "Yes; he knows when not to be funny." After a woman has passed the age of 30 she stops talking about the things that happened when she was a little girl. "The imbecile is not so greatly to be pitied," says the Manayunk Philos opher. "It is better to be half cracked than completely broke." Nell "Polly says her fiance is awful ly conceited." Belle "In what way?" Nell "He has never once told her that he is unworthy of her." Mrs. Muggins "Does your husband like your new hat?" Mrs. Buggins "I don't know. He never expresses hid opinions about such things till the bills come in." Rev. Kinsley Twining Dead. New ITaven, Conn.. Nov. 4. Rev. Kins ley Twining died today at the home of relatives in this city of -heart trouble. Dr. Twining was graduated from Yale in the class of "W and was about 69 years of age. He settled as a Congregational minister at Providence and Cambridge, Mass., and for many years succeeding was literary editor of the New York In dependent. He was a relative of Presi dent li&dley of Yue university. WAS SHE POISONED? Murder Mystery in Connection WithToune Girl's Death. Mound Valley, Kan.,Nov,4. Not since the days of the murderous Bender fam ily, whose death-trap home was less than ten miles from here, have the au thorities of Labette county been asked to solve such a mystery as is now puz zling them. Did Dr. G. A. Calhoon mur der his pretty 18-year-old wife or did she die from self-inflicted wounds? the citizens of Labette county are asking. The circumstances connected with the sudden death of Mra Calhoon are mys terious. She died suddenly at an early hour last Saturday. Citizens of this town say openly that her husband killed her for her life insurance, amounting to $5,000. So strong was the case of cir cumstantial evidence against the hus band that a coroner's jury recommend ed that he be arrested and charged with murder. Ira Elledge, brother of the dead woman, swore out the warrant last night and Dr. Calhoon is now be hind the bars of the Labette county jail at Oswego. It was fortunate for Dr. Calhoon that he was placed in jail, for it was stated in Mound Valley that a mob would lynch the husband. A puzzling feature con nected with the mystery is the effort that is being made by Mrs. Katherine Elledge mother of the dead woman, to shield Dr. Calhoon. The latter is on such friendly terms with his mother-in-law that threats of prosecution are made against her. It was said here to day that Mrs. Elledge's sympathy for the man charged with killing her daugh ter will involve her in the case before it is over. Not only does Mrs. Elledge protest against the prosecution of Dr. Calhoon, but the grandfather and sister of the dead woman openly state they be lieve the suspected man is guiltless. "It is just a case of persecution," said Mrs. Elledge to a correspondent today. "My daughter is dead, but her husband did not kill her. She fell from her bi cycle. Her death was due to self-inflicted wounds. Dr. Calhoon loved my daughter and is not responsible for her death." Here showing emotion for the first time, Mrs. Elledge said: "If you see Dr. Calhoon in the jail at Oswego, tell him that his mother thinks as much of him as ever." Mrs. Elledge referred to herself as Dr. Calhoon's mother. She spoke of hei daughter's suffering and death with out the slightest tremor in her voice, and it was only when referring to Dr. Calhoon that she showed any signs of breaking down. The man who is charged with the murder of his girl wife has a record. He once served a term in the Kansas penitentiary for a statutory crime, and has been charged with other violations of the law. Apparently the only friends he has in the: world are the mother, sister and grandfather of the dead woman. Just why they have grown so fond of him and why they cling to him still is as strange as the cause of the death of Mrs. Calhoon. Mrs. Elledge, his mother-in-law, has been fond of him for many years. She approved of the marriage with her daughter who was not quite 16 years old on the wed ding day. Ira Elledge, who swore out the war rant for the arrest of Dr. Calhoon, lives in Cherryvale. He did not approve of the marriage and hates the man who wooed his sister. Even if Dr. Calhoon is not guilty his lawyers will have a difficult task to break the chain of cir cumstantial evidence that has been woven about him. The only person in the room with Mrs. Calhoon when she died was her husband. He sent for the undertaker and ordered the body em balmed before it was cold. It was shown by the autopsy that the woman had been injured internally. The wound might have been self-inflicted, but not a physician in the county believes it. Dr. J. H. Henson, who conducted the post-mortem examination, said toda that Mrs. Calhoon died of a nervous shock which followed tha infliction of the wound. "I was told the Injury was caused several days ago by a fall from a bi cycle," said Dr. Henson. "I was called to the Calhoon house after the woman was dead." The Elledge family is regarded "is highly respectable by the citizens of Labette county. A few years ago, Just after Calhoon managed to get in the good graces of Mrs. Elledge and her daughter, Isaac Elledge, father of the dead woman, died mysteriously, having some life insurance, and it was asserted that Elledge committed suicide. Since the developments of the last few days an effort is being made to connect Dr. Calhoon with the death of Mrs. Cal hoon's father. Dr. Calhoon has been known in this part of the state as a "cancer specialist." He called himself "Dr." Calhoon, but did not practice regularly. For several years he has been associated with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elledge, in the management of the Occidental hotel at Mound Valley. He is s slender man, has blue eyes and is sharp featured. His wife was regarded as a handsome woman. She was a bru nette with a mass of dark hair and rosy complexion that was attributed to outdoor exercise. She was rather large for one so young and was well educa ted. Dr. Calhoon did not hesitate to discuss his case when visited in the Os wego jail last night. He is not confin ed to a cell, but roams at will about the corridors, as do two other prisoners charged with murder. "I will get out of this if I have fair treatment," said Dr. Calhoon. "I have all the money I need to fight the case out and I think I will be cleared. Why should I want to kill my wife? She had only $3,000 insurance and had Join ed another fraternal order but a few weeks ago, in order to increase the amount of the insurance on her life to $5,000. The premiums on the $2,000 pol icy taken out a short time ago have never been paid. If I had wanted to kill her for the insurance I would surely have waited until all tha premiums were paid." The prisoner wears a button In the lapel of his coat which bears a photo graph of his dead wife. He shows it to visitors at the jail without any signs of emotion. The preliminary hearing will probably be held next Wednesday. FEEDING THE ARMF. General Weston's Report Shows Ex penditure of $15,622,22a Washington, Nov. 4. The report of General John F. Weston, commissary general of subsistence, shows that the total expenditures for the subsistence of the army during the fiscal year were $15,622,228. The receipts from the sales of subsistence stores during the same period were $3,290,234. An interesting feature of the report is a statement from Colonel Woodruff, chief commis sary of the army in the Philippines, in which he says: "During the first three months of the period covered by this report, stores here had, for various causes, become greatly reduced, but owing to the grand response made by the commissary gen eral to every call from the soldiers and i BEGIN By Making This Sideboard $1.00 Per Week.

Office Block, 118 East Fifth Street. 1 the energetic action of the purchasing commissaries in San Francisco and New York this was speedily corrected, and this division was soon supplied as no other army of its size has ever been sup plied in the world's history." During the period covered by this re port the command to be supplied extend ed from the great wall of China on the north to the island of Borneo on the south and the island of Guam on the east. There were 480 stations in this archipelago, besides the troops in China and the prisoners in Guam. In addition to the 68,000 troops and 3,000 officers in this division, the subsist ence department supplied the delicacies for the sick, rations for 4,000 prisoners of war, 18 marines, many of the stores for the navy, rations for 1,000 civilian em ployes and sale stores for the army, navy and marine officers, Philippine commission and attaches and Ameri cans employed by the army and by the government in its treasury, postoffice, interior and educational departments, metropolitan police, native police and scouts, transports, etc. In other words, nearly 100.000 persons, occupying a country almost destitute of meat and vegetables and other food supplies suitable for Americaans, were supplied largely from a single base 7,000 miles distant. After the stores reached Manila they had to be landed in cascoes and then distributed on short railroads, by cascoes, and then poled up narrow rivers, by wagon and carabo carts along almost bottomless roads, by pack mules and coolies over "moun tain trails, often through a hostile country, and some of the outposts sup plied were more distant, in point of time, from Manila than is the capital of our country. Col. Woodruff says that during the period covered by the report 35,000 meu have been returned to the United States and about 18,000 have arrived in the Philippines, and that not a single se rious complaint has been received con cerning the food supply. There has been received at the Manila depot 116. 554,830 pounds of ration articles and 62, 444,996 pounds of sale stores. There have been shipped from this depot 11, 711.509 pounds of ration articles and 57,- 022,671 pounds of sale stores. There has been some deterioration or stores due to poor storage and climatic conditions. Col. Woodruff refers to the charges against the subsistence department, and takes occasion to say that such charges were greatly exaggerated, and he reviews what has already been pub lished concerning the losses by dis honest officers and commissary ser geants together with the trials and con victions of those implicated. He de nies any illegal purchases of cham pagne, and says that the purchases that were made were necessary for sick and debilitated soldiers, who pur chased it at 82 cents a pint. Gen. Weston's reports deal extensive ly with the Chinese campaign, and quotes from officers who were in that expedition to show that the troops were well supplied. WAS DISGRACEFUL WORK. Pastor's Home at Alma Egged by Un known Toughs. Alma, Kan., Nov. 4. In the absence of the Rev. J. B. Gibson, pastor of the M. E. church on Halloween, and while his wife and niece were at prayer meeting, a crowd of toughs decorated their porch with beer kegs in acknowledgment of his activity in the recent campaign against the alma saloons. Soon after the ladies returned home, the gang came back and indulged in all sorts of vile language and noise, and ridiculed the statement that they would be shot at if they did not leave. Mrs. Gibson finally fired, but aimed low, so as to avoid hurting anyone, and they then left. About 3 a. m. the ladies heard the crowd returning and soon the house was pelted by a storm of eggs. The ladies again went on the porch and Mrs. Gibson this time shot at the crowd, which immediately ran, leaving numerous pa per bags and six dozen eggs behind them. The next morning Mrs.' Gibson had a bon fire of the beer kegs, after which the city marshal called to tell her that she would have to pay for them. Kiddle of Minnesota. Washington, Nov. 4.

Five men charged by Bishop Anthony Kozlowski of the Inde pendent Catholic church with conspiracy to cause his arrest unlawfully in order to injure his church and philanthropic work, were today held by Magistrate Alaxtin to the grand jury.

Four of the defendants brought counter charges against Bishop Kozlowski, averring that he had caused the death of seven patients by poisoning in h'd hospital. Klozlowski introduced American born witnesses to prove that the patients died natural deaths, and brought to the stand one Lewandoski, who swore that the defendants had offered him mon ey and other inducements to murder the bishop. He said the defendant planned every detail of the plot for him, but he refused to be tempted. Anthony Kozlow ski left the Roman Catholic church years ago and started the independent move ment, which now numbers ten parishes. It is said to be akin to what is known in Germany as as "the old Catholic church' which arose following the coun cil of Trent.

Mrs. Allan Brown died at her home, 1404 North Jackson street, at 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning, of arsenic poisoning. Mrs. Brown took 120 grains of the drug in a teaspoon at 8:30 o'clock Sat urday morning. One-twentieth of a gTain is sufficient to cause death. Mrs. Brown was alone in the house. Her husband, who Is an electrician at the Santa Fe shops, was at work. At noon the neighbors found Mrs. Brown suffering horrible agonies. They called Dr. L. M. Powell, who found it was too late to save the unfortunate woman's life. She admitted that she had taken a half teaspoonful out of a bottle that the physician found contained arsenic. It was Impossible to save her life, and she died Sunday morning. Mrs. Brown bought the poison two years ago to use in killing a cat.

Ellis, of the supreme court, is still at his home in Beloit. It was stated authoritatively in the supreme court chambers today that Justice Ellis would not be here today. It was further said that he will not come down this week. This explodes a story that has been afloat that the supreme court is divided on the decision of the Parker-Hughes case, and had called In Judge Ellis to decide. The suppositious division places Justices Doster, Smith and Pollock on the side of Parker, and Greene, Cun ningham and Johnston on the side of Hughes, as they were on the former decision in this same case. But six Judges sat on the last hearing, and if they are divided it is just as possible that a reharing may be ordered as that Judge Ellis be asked to decide. JEWETT DENIES IT.

Canon Bywater Reads an Inter esting Paper. MR. DAVID SON REPORTS Sajs There lias Been No Kule With Befereuce to Use. Ber. C. M. Sheldon Thinks Too Many Pagan Boobs Are Used. At the regular meeting of the Topeka Ministerial union this morning the lead ing subject considered was that regard ing the reading of the Bible in the pub lic schools. The paper of the session was on "The Bible in the Public Schools," and was read by the Reverend Canon Bywater, who gave Henry Boles' Science of Penology as authority. The paper showed careful thought. He said in part: "It is not generally known, but it is a fact gleaned from personal interviews with Prof. Davidson and many of the teachers that the Bible is read at the opening exercises at the schools by 60 per cent of the teaching force. "At times teachers read from some other book at the opening exercises. I am pleased to say further that Prof. Davidson has suggested for those teachers who do not feel themselves sufficiently learned in Bible work to take it up without sufficient preparation, list of five other books in the nature of selection for schools and Bible stories in the language and style of the author ized revised version.' Yet it should be distinctly understood that this is only a suggestion of the present superintend ent and is not issued as an order, and that the teachers are at liberty to follow their own plans at the opening exer cises. In the absence of any instruction from the school board this is all that can be expected at present: but I hope that the school board will see fit to direct that the Bible be used in opening exer cises by all teachers in all the rooms of the city schools, and I earnestly trust that the plan may prove snoradic and not simply local and that with this city as an example it will spread throughout this state and beyond its borders. "Let us give it to our children in the public schools. The children in the schools today will be the citizens of the state tomorrow. The degree of its public morality ia the only correct gauge of the progress of a people in civilization. Literature, science, inventions, art, wealth have brought in the past and will still bring temporary distinction and power. "The great nations and states of the past all perished of the disease of im morality. If the morals of children are made healthy and sound then all else is safe. Nature will preserve physical health, strength and numbers. Moral training must be made the predominat ing purpose. All instruction should be so designed as to develop and mold the spiritual nature of the children in preference to the intellectual. The good moral character consists of a correct discrimination between right and wrong, the power of self-control and a prefer ence of right action as against wrong in every temptation. These are the means by which moral training is to be effect ed. There can be no wholesome moral training of children which ignores God, or omits religious instruction. "Those parts of the Bible con cerning which there is no dispute, a simple form of daily prayer and some of the well known hymns of praise can be so arranged that they may be pre scribed as a part of the regular daily exercises and thus make our public schools to effectively safe guard the state and the people against the gangrene of immorality or anarchy," After the reading of the paper the committee on special work, through Hal F. Smith, reported a recommenda tion that the union take steps looking toward the introduction of the "reading of scriptural selections as a part of the regular exercises of the public schools, and that the union proceed to make such selections as they shall agree upon as suitable for that pur pose." This report was received after long deliberation. In the interim the ministers listened to a talk from Super intendent W. M. Davidson, of the city schools. Superintendent Davidson said that he did not desire to give his personal views or wishes concerning the reading of the Bible in the public schools, but that he would simply give a conserva tive statement of conditions as they ex isted. "The rules of the board of edu cation," said he, "are silent on this sub ject of Bible reading, with the excep tion that one clause states that partisan or sectarian doctrines shall not be taught. This in substance does not ex clude but rather leaves to each teacher to suggest what might be provided for the opening exercises. I presume that these conditions have obtained for some time, namely, that the Bible has been read In a way not official. At no time have I felt that I had the right to make the order that the Bible be read as a part of the opening exercises, but I have felt that it was safe to have the opening exercises consist of appropriate selections from the Bible followed by appropriate songs and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer, all without comment. It was not expected that there be an hour for this, but from five to ten minutes spent in a wholesome manner. This has been usually followed. I took occasion to investigate, and found that it was carried out by about 60 per cent, of the teachers. Of those using the song service there were from 95 to 100 per aM These .Are the that are this season doubling our business every style is perfect fitting latest fabrics jj best trimmings Chic, attractive and unus ual values at our price we show 50 styles to others 10 for only 3 Bays Very Good Shoes Here.

To sum up, the entire force of teach ers with rare exceptions believe in' the Bible and its teachings, and I have found that its reading, as is the case now, has been followed with rare lapses for many years. "One difficulty with the teacherB has been that they have not been able to get a connected whole in their scrip tural readings." Here Superintendent Davidson mentioned a number of books that have been arranged for such use in the schools, giving special attention to Richard G. Moulton's "The Bible in Literature." "What the Bible needs," he continued, "is elimination, not ex purgation. This Prof. Moulton has done in his book by casting a series of stories from the Old and New Testaments which appeal to the children." At the close of his talk the union dis cussed at length the matter under con sideration. Rev. J. D. Countermine said that the subject had become general over the United States. "It makes no difference to me what Bible they we, so long as it is the Bible. And I would go farther than Canon Bywater, I would have It included as a text-book; something to be studied. Charles M. Sheldon didn't know why the boys and girls should be compelled to study the pagan writers so much and the religious so little. "I see no reason." said he, "why any sensible man should not take out of the book a vast quanti ty of religious Instruction that could not harm the narrowest. When my boy gets bis enough to start to school I hope to have him take with his other books something out of the Bible. It's a great big subject, but I have rebelled all through my college course that I have been obliged to study pagan wri ters and that all out of proportion to religious studies. I believe that the nation is ready now and the time is ripe for this, and I anticipate a great religious revival all over America. And this attempt to get back to the customs of our fathers wheu there was a church on the hill beside the school houBe. and to establish family worship and place the Bible on top of the newspaper in stead of the newspaper on top of the Bible as we have been doing Is what we need today. I feel that the time Is ripe for a forward movement." A. M. Herenius thought that if the movement to have the Bible taught In the schools were carried out the paro chial schools would disappear. On motion of F. W. Emerson the Un ion voted to appoint a committee to prepare a request for presentation to the school board looking to the estab lishment of this rule that the Scriptural reading be a part of the opening exer cises in the schools each day. The com mittee as appointed by the chairman, J. T. McFarland, follows: A. M. Rey nolds, C. M. Sheldon, P. W. Crannell, J. T. McFarland, and J. D. Countermine. Dr. McFarland proposed that the churches of the city Inaugurate a series of Bible lectures. He has been in cor respondence with a number of noted authorities on the Bible and it Is pro bable that Prof. Shale Matthews of the University of Chicago will be secured some time during the winter. The leading paper at the next session of the Union will be read by Rev. F. W. Mallory on "Christian Union." Appointed by the President. Washington, Nov. 4. The president today appointed John R.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 4, 1901. si Li MADE THjNGS HUM A Big Temperance Meeting at the Auditorium. About 2000 People Listen to the Speeches. STAHL TELLS HIS TALE Thinks He lias Done Pretty Well Enforcing Law. Major Hughes Commends Chief JStahl's Efforts. Lecture Delireredby Col. George W. Uain. More than two thousand people gath ered in the Topeka Auditorium Sunday afternoon to hear an address given by Col. George "W. Bain, of Lexington, Ky.,, preceded by a short talk from Chief of Police F. M. StabJ. P. H. Forbes called the gathering to order and introduced Mayor Hughes, the per manent chairman. In taking charge Mayor Hughes said that the prohibition law was better enforced at this time than it had been in ten years. He promised that if the supreme court allowed him to hold the office which he now has, the present chief of police '"would continue to be a terror to law breakers." The invocation was given by Rev. D. M. Fisk, pastor of the First Congregational church. Then Chief Stahl came forward and began a review of the temperance situ ation in Topeka. He said little that was different from what he has gone over in a number of other speeches around town. He referred to the Audi torium meeting of last spring and the large number of joints which were run ning at that time and the way in which they were fitted up. "Now." said he, "there is not a bar outside of the Turners and Arions with all its para phernalia that is worth much more than three dollars. You've got to hunt for the joint today; but of course if you are persistent you will always win the victory." He then gave some detailed descriptions of the means of protection from invaders with which the jointists have surrounded themselves, and as a sample told of a number of raids which he and his force had made on the Mc Coy joint at 1011 Kansas avenue. "But It isn't the chief of police." he con tinued, "that should have the credit: he Is getting more than he deserves. What could he do if it were not for the sup port which he gets? You have seen by the papers that the mayor and chief of police were not getting along well. Now I want to say to you that Mayor Hughes never has put the brake on me. He has told me repeatedly 'I want you to enforce the ordinances without fear or favor, let it hurt whom it will.' Now we want two things," he said, concluding, "we want the law, and we have that. Besides we want loyalty. Let the people watch at election time for good, true men, and we will have the law enforced." Col. Bain was introduced, and after several hundred people who had crowd ed into all the standing room on the lower floor had been seated in the gal lery, he began his address on "A Cen tury Searchlight." or "The Old Century's Legacy to the New." He referred first to the inheritances of persons, such as wealth bestowed upon children by parents. "The Nineteenth century has given to the Twentieth much of good; but there has been also some bad." In a burst of eloquence he depicted the marvelous growth of civilization in the western world, describing Kansas as a commonwealth with whose material pro gress Providence had to interfere. "But there are unsolved problems of imperial moment," he went on, serious ly. "We turn the searchlight on the race problem. Since the close of the war the negro race has increased at an astonish ing rate. It was supposed then that they would go among their liberators to live. But they will never leave the southland. They have gone on multiplying in the southland and problemizing civilization. In my mind Booker T. Washington has the best solution of the negro problem In his normal institute at Tuskegee. If the negro is the best blacksmith in a community he will get to shoe all the friorses. If the best farmer he will win. If the most artistic painter his pictures will adorn the walls of our houses. If the negro is worthy he will win a place in whatever calling, just as Paul Laur ence Dunbar has won a place in litera ture. We must level the colored man up or he will level us down. "We turn the searchlight a little far ther to the city problem. If the city population goes on increasing at its present rate in twenty years the cities will have 19.000.000 people more than the country and they will control the re public. The question now is, can we save the cfties of the republic. Oh, for the day when the cities will have a mayor and chief of police who will go to a temperance meeting on Sunday after noon. The immigration problem next came up for consideration. "We have the most cosmopolitan country in the world," declared the Kentucky colonel. "Two hundred and fifty thousand peo ple have landed on our shores within the past 30 years. Many of them have been good people but they are not all eo. From this latter class came the assassin who killed Humbert of Italy, and from that same class came the man who a few weeks ago shrouded our own country in deepest gloom." He lauded McKinley highly, both as a pres ident and as a man; and in concluding this topic said: "In the name of the ancestry which plowed its way through the seas I stand here to say that, too long we have allowed this republic to become the sewer for the social filth, ignorance and anarchy of the world. There is a vessel leaving New York city nearly every day for that class." On the subject of expansion. Col. Bain tries to avoid taking sides with political parties. "Yonder In the Philippines." said he. "we have 50 different tribes and how to mold them into one common whole is a problem. America should he the standard-bearer of civilization to the farthest corners of the earth; and whether or not I favor annexing the Fhippines to the United States I am in favor of annexing the civilization of the United States to the Philippine islands. "We turn the light to the subject of labor and capital. Both are organizing, both determined to win. All the trouble between them is not the fault of capi tal. As I travel up and down this land I find that it is not the capitalist who patronize the hotel bar-rooms most freely, but it is the laboring men. What the workingmen of this country spend in one year for liquor would purchaif? 600 of the average manufacturing es tablishments of this country. That "which they spend in 60 days would buy the whole Pullman company's plant. i believe if you settle the saloon question you simplify every other touching American politics. In every city let there be such men ruling as Mayor Hughes and your chief of police. We must put this cursed thing down or it will put our country down. "There are conflicting forces at work today in our republic. I am afraid we are too impulsive. If a man does a good thing one day we make a hero of him; the next we make a punching bag of him. If Admiral Sampson did make a mistake, or if Scott Schley did make a mistake, we should forever bury that mistake in our love for our coun try. We trifle with the science of gov ernment too much. Who is it in charge of your electrical plant here? An elec trical expert, of course. Who is it con trols the municipal government in our great cities? A few years ago when Foraker became governor of Ohio he appointed as coal oil inspector a saloon keeper who couldn't tell linseed oil from axle grease; but he controlled the polities in the slums, and must have a five thousand dollar place. "It is proper for us to ask: 'Will the fate of Rome be repeated here?" Thank God we have certain saving graces that empires never dreamt of. There every family stood alone: here all unite. The blood of the common father binds us to gether." In closing. Mr. Bain referred to the building of the NIcaraguan canal as the crowning commercial event of the cen tury. Besides Mayor Hughes, P. H. Forbes and Chief Stahl, there were seated on the platform Rev. J. T. McFarland. James A. Troutman, Rev. F. W. Emerson. Rev. J. D. Countermine. Vocal solos were given bv W. M. Shaver and Ernest Council. Mr. Shaver also led the audience in sing ing at the beginning "America" and the doxology at the close. TOPEKA DID WELL. High School Eleven Played Central to a Standstill. Kansas City, Nov. 4. In one of the fiercest, gruelling games seen on the Exposition park gridiron this season, the black and yellow of Topeka tri umphed over the blue and white of Central Saturday, by a score of 11 to 0. and the victory was well earned. From the first whistle which sent the ball whirling into play until time was called at the end of the second half Topeka played the hardest and most relentless kind of a game, fighting for every inch of ground with such desperation that at times they looked more like armored demons than high school lads. They tackled low and sure with a fierceness that did much to render the wearers of the blue and white hors de combat. Griggs, the star halfback, plunged through the line for gains with a reck less disregard for broken bones and cracked heads that brought forth words of admiration and amazement from the side-line crowds. He did a lion's share toward advancing the ball and drop kicked a goal from Central's 30-yard line. He also rendered excellent serv ice in punting, which was an import ant factor in Central's defeat. Topeka used the tackles back tandem play a great deal with good success. The tan dem buck would hit the Central line, which would hold for an instant, then give way to the veritable human plow. Short but steady gains were made by this play until the Central players learned, toward the last of the game, to stop the formidable buck. Millice, who went in as tackle, did excellent work, especially in the tandem play, which he headed. The Central team, did very good work considering the handicap under which they were playing. The team had never fully recovered from the bruising, tie game played at Topeka three weeks ago. Capt. Wood Taylor, owing to in juries received in that game, which was aggravated in more recent contests, was compelled to watch the game from the side lines. Earl Wells played a good game at quarter, but he was not as coolheaded and experienced as Taylor, besides lacking weight. Stanton, who captained the team, was in no condi tion to play his usual good game. Ha had a ligament torn loose in his arm recently, which greatly hampered him He received some hard blows on the head while bucking the line, and toward the end of the game was very weak, almost "groggy." Central showed the same fault yester day that was shown when Topeka played here last year. Central played too eas; a erame. They tackled easy and lacked the aggressiveness and fierceness that Topeka put into their play. The game was very slow on account of time being taken out so much for injured players. The game, too. was not as clean as Central and To peka have established reputations for playing. Lively personal encounters took place twice in the open field, which is un precedented in the Central-Topeka games. Topeka made the first touchdown after fourteen minutes of play. Central had the ball only twice during the time, getting it on a punt only to lose it on downs on their thirty-yard line. The play went deeper and deeper into Central's territory until Millice was sent over to the tackles back buck for the touchdown, Griggs kicked goal. Griggs give Topeka the extra five by drop kicking the goal from Central's 3""f yard line, where Topeka had forced the ball after much hard playing. Central took a brace in the second half, holding the Kansans remarkably well. Central. Position. Topeka. Bill left end Fleishmnn Sharpe left tackle Tattle Calvin left guard...

Charles H. Turner has sued the Missouri Pacific railway company for $10,000 damages on account of injuries received in a wreck on the Missouri Pacific. August 15, 1901. Mr. Turner alleges in his petition, which was filed by John C. Egan and E. J. Crego, that on August 15. 1901, he bought a ticket from Garnett to West phalia and boarded a train to ride. When the train reached the switch known as the Birch siding there was a collision caused by an open switch, and he. in the words of the petition, was shocked, suffered severe concus sion and was severely injured in head, chest, stomach, left side, back, urinary organs, spine, nervous, muscular and bony systems, and his arms, hands and heart- Pilfered the Mails. New York, Nov.' 4. Thomas Barry, a porter in the general postoffice was ar raigned today charged with stealing packages from the mail. He was held for examination in $3,000 bail. Postal inspectors searched his home and turn ed up what they regarded to be part of the spoils of years of pilfering, in cluding 60 pairs of gloves, five hair brushes, a large Odd Fellow's ring, four rings for diamond settings, a diamond scarf pin, an unset opal, three small opal rings, a gold watch chain and two prayer books. They also found a num ber of pawn tickets. Barry worked in the postoffice for 14 years. He has a wife and five children. UP TO VOTERS. New York Campaign Ends With Big Meetings Held by Both Parties All Over the City. BOTH CLAIM VICTORY. Low Managers Appear to Be Su premely Confident. Croker Issues a Final Appeal to Voters. New York, Nov. 4. The campaign closed Saturday night with scores of meetings and a vast amount of public speaking in every borough. The man agers on both sides are busy assigning workers and watchers to the polls and making other arrangements to guard the interests of their candidates. The fusion campaigners wound up their canvass with every hope of elect ing not only the city, out the county ticket. Tammany leaders, in their pub Ik; utterances, profess to be equally con fident of the result. Whatever the exact state of things is, it is a fact there has not been the same sanguine atmosphere about Tammany headquarters as in times when Tammany has won. William Leary, chairman of the Re publican bureau of meetings and speak ers, gave out a statement in which, by a comparison with the election returns in 1S97, he estimates Low's plurality will be over 60,000. Mr. Leary says there is every indication of a landslide. His esti mate is regarded with considerable credence, since Mr. Leary has earned something of a name as a political seer. In 1895 he estimated that Strong would poll a majority of 35,000. This statement was printed in a newspaper a few days before election. The actual majority was 45,187. LOW FIGURES. In his statement Mr. Leary said: "In 1897 the total vote was 526,836, of which Low and Tracy received 253,403, Van Wyck 233,997. Prohibitionists, Socialists, and others, 39,456. The com bined Low and Tracy percentage was 48.09; Van Wyck's, 44.41; and Prohibi tionist, Socialist, and others, 7.50. The Low and Tracy vote over Van Wyck was 19.406. This year it is estimated that the total vote will be 575,000. The following would be the vote based on the percentages of 1S97: Low, 4S.09 per cent, 276.018; Shepard, 44.41 per cent, 255,357; Prohibition and others, 7.50 per cent, 43,125. Total, 575,000. Low over Shepard, 21,161. "To the Low vote should be added the Greater New York Democracy vote in Manhattan and the Bronx.the Brooklyn Democracy vote, and the German vote that was cast for Van Wyck in 1897. A conservative estimate to. these would be 20.000. This would make Low's vote 51.57 per cent, 296,518; Shepard's, 40.93 per cent, 235,357; Prohibition and others, 7.50 per cent, 43.125. Total, 575,000. Low over Shepard, 61,161." Robert C. Morris, chairman of the Re publican county committee, said: "I have conferred with every one of our district leaders, and from the re ports which I have received I am now convinced that the estimate which I made of the majority for Low in New York county, of 29,500, was rather con servative than otherwise. The reports which I received today were so favor able that I believe our county ticket is absolutely certain of election. I have also been in communication with the leaders of the fusion campaign in Brooklyn, Queens, and Richmond, and I believe the majority for the city ticket in Greater New York will range from 70.000 to 75,000. It is my prediction that Mr. Low will carry all five of the bor oughs." Chairman Jacob Brenner of the Kings county fusion executive committee, who has been in close touch with every de velopment of the campaign in Brooklyn, thus summed up the situation: "Everything points to a decisive vic tory for the fusion forces in this county. My opinion is that Low's plurality will be in excess of 18,000, and I shall not be surprised if it approaches Schieran's plurality in 1893." The most conservative estimate of Low's plurality in Brooklyn is 9,500, which the fusion leaders say would give Low the victory in the entire city. TAMMANY REPORTS IN MEETING. Richard Croker's prediction as to the vote which Edward M. Shepard will get in the Boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx was given out after a meeting of the Tammany Hall executive commit tee. The claim is that Edward M. Shep ard will have a plurality of 47,233 in New York county. These figures are said to be based on the reports made by the Tammany dis trict leaders in open meeting. Every district leader of Tammany Hall gathered to attend the meeting. Senator Timothy D. Sullivan was pres ent and said: "There is no doubt of the election of Edward M. Shepard. The talk of de fection on the East Side is campaign talk. In my district I am confident Mr. Shepard will get 200 to 300 more votes than were cast for Bryan. Altogether, I have bet $33,000 Mr. Shepard will be elected, and I want to say I have not hedged a cent." There were other Tammany district leaders not quite so enthusiastic as Senator Sullivan. The majority claim ed they will be able to carry their dis tricts by about the same vote cast for Mr. Bryan last year. No district leader who could be found and more than 20 were interviewed would claim a ma terial increase over the Bryan major ities. Notwithstanding this and the fact that the total plurality for Bryan last year in New York county was about 28, 500, the official figures, as above stated, predict that the Tammany plurality for Edward M. Shepard will be 47,233. In spite of the Tammany figures and disregarding partisan considerations, the indications are that the general public believes the fusion ticket will be elect ed. Judging by all the usual signs and by the political atmosphere, the fusion ists will at least elect Low and the can didates for president of the municipal assembly and controller, who are voted on in all the boroughs. The fusionist managers are also confident of electing the county ticket, which Tammany has made a desperate effort to save. They even expect to elect Jerome dis trict attorney, in spite of the vigorous fight Tammany has put up against him. Tammany is so terribly interested in the defeat of Jerome that it is under stood now they are trading Shepard votes for votes for Unger, the Tam many candidate for district attorney in New York county. It is said they even offer two Shepard votes for one Unger vote. If this is true Shepard may be sacrificed in an effort to save the coun ty ticket. Mayor Van Wyck, who has been nom inated for justice of the supreme court, will, it is believed, be snowed under. Every newspaper in town is opposing Van Wyck in the bitterest way and urging ids overwhelming defeat. It is thought he will run 20,000 behind his ticket, although Tammany is making strong efforts to elect him as a "vindi cation." Tammany Hall's last appeal to the voters of this city will be made today. It will take the form of a circular, whicn will be distributed at all the stations on the elevated railroad system, at all ferry entrances on the East River, and at the bridge entrances, during the rush hours especially. Mr. Croker considers this circular to be his trump card. He has had 500,000 of the dodgers printed. This is the circular: "To the electors: In discharging your duty at the ballot box next Tuesday the Democratic organization of this city wishes to call your attention to the un fair attitude of the newspaper press of this community. "Our side of the question, which should in all fairness be presented to you in order that you may vote intel ligently, has been ignored, except where we have paid to have it printed, as ad vertising matter, in this subsidized press. Should this be so in a free com munity, where a free press is supposed to exist? "We ask you not to be influenced by what you may read against the present administration. "Vote for Edward M. Shepard and Democracy and insure a government by and for the people, as against a gov ernment by newspapers, which is only another form of anarchy. Press Com mittee, Tammany Hall." The campaign committee of the great er New York Democracy came to the front with a list of clubs and social organizations, with a combined mem bership of 7,795 voters, who in the last three weeks have voted to oppose the ticket. The membership of these clubs and social organizations is made up exclu sively of Democrats, and the greater number of them have hitherto voted the straight Tammany ticket. They are nearly all enrolled as regular Dem ocrats, and their defection is regarded as highly significant. ATTITUDE OF FORMER MAYORS. There are seven former mayors of New York:, all Democrats, who are still alive and interested in the campaign. Two of them. Edward Cooper and Abram S. Hewitt, have come out for Low; Franklin Edson, Thomas F. Gil roy and Hugh J. Grant will vote for Shepard, and Smith Ely is noncom mittal. William R. Grace loses his vote, as he was unable to register. A postal card canvass of 100 preach ers showed 86 of them for Low. The old rumor was revived today that Deputy Commissioner Devery was going to resign, and, in fact, had hand ed in his resignation to Police Commis sioner Murphy. Commissioner Murphy and Deputy Commissioner Devery ere found sitting together in Colonel Mur phy's room. "Is there any foundation for the story that you are going to resign?" Devery was asked. '"Taint true." said Devery. "Nothin in it; absolutely nothin' in it- I ain't goin' to resign." CAN'T MOVE GOODS. Car Shortage Continues to Interfere With Fall Trade. New York, Nov. 4. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Although the latest railway returns indicate that transporting facilities have greatly improved, the nation's business has expanded more rapidly. Car shortage in fact has become the chief retarding influence. From all sec tions of the country and many lines of industry complaints are heard in re gard to the inability to move goods. Per haps this has been most aggravating in the case of coal, unseasonably high tem perature alone preventing serious incon venience. Not only are domestic re quirements enormous.but coal is becom ing an important article of export, part ly owing to labor controversies in France and Great Britain and also to the British export tax. Mild weather affects retail distribution to a very marked degree, orders for heavy weight goods being cancelled in some cases where manufacturers were behind with deliveries. That the volume of legitimate business is not being cur tailed, however, is evidenced by the gain in bank exchanges at New York of 2.4 per cent over last year and 7.9 per cent over the same week in 1899. At other leading cities the increase is equally striking 20.1 per cent over 1900 and 9.6 over 1899. Not only are steel mills many months behind orders and prompt deliveries commanding premiums, but even where goods are ready for customers, it is of ten impossible to ship because of inade quate railway facilities. Structural ma terial is urgently sought and mild weather prolongs the season for buy ing' pipe. Steel railroads increase and the fancy prices asked for billets have brought imports from Germany where industrial depression makes it possible to sell at very low figures. Domestic quotations do not alter, though list fig ures are not considered on deliveries before the year's end. Copper is arti ficially sustained by closing mines. Footwear manufacturers have made a general advance in prices, restoring the figures of early spring. It is obvious that the average rise of 2Vs cents does not cover' the enhanced cost of mater ial, yet new orders have been extremely light since the change as jobbers are re sisting the natural tendency. Textile markets are well sustained. Woolen mills have ample orders and take large quantities of raw material, holding wool prices firm. Cotton goods are in brisk request with no evidence of excessive stocks. Wise counsel has thus far pre vailed at Fall River though the labor leaders are closely divided. Irregularity prevailed in the market for staples. Speculators secured a dis tinct declyie from the unusually high position recently attained by pork prod ucts, while at the same time corn made a further advance. Poor husking re ports were held responsible for the rise in the cereal and there was a natural falling off in exports. Shipments from Atlantic ports for the week were only 498,495 bushels against 1,194,009 last week and 3,328.631 a year ago. Interior receipts were also light, 2.217.126 bushels against 3.S38.020 last year. Wheat came to market more freely, arrivals at west ern cities amounting to 7,060.590 bushels against 6,182,393 in the previous week and 5,537,602 a year ago. Atlantic ex ports were less satisfactory than last week, but including all United States ports the week's shipments were 5,018, 103 bushels against 3,6S5,S21 last year and 3,508,998 in 1899. A further fall put cotton $3 a bale lower than it was two weeks ago and port receipts are very heavy despite reports that many plant ers are holding for more profitable prices. Capital City Tent No. 24. K. O. T. M. will give an oyster supper and enter tainment to the ladies of Hive No. 14, and to the members of the two other local lodges on next Wednesday night.

SCHLEY RECALLED. (Continued from First Page.) the conduct of Admiral Schley by Ad miral Sampson. "We object," he said, "unless we can bring Admiral Sampson to the stand." Captain Lemly said he challenged him to produce that letter from Admiral Sampson. This Captain Parker did, but Captain Lemly stated that it was not embraced in that part of the documen tary evidence he desired to introduce. Before taking the usual recess for luncheon Mr. Rayner offered In evidence the commission of Admiral Schley, and when asked if he had a ny objection to its going in. Captain Lemly replied that he had none at all, but called attention to the fact that it was a communication dated August 10, 1898, issued during a re cess of congress and that the words "nominated by and with the advice and consent of the senate" were sticken out. "It will appear, of course," said' Captain Lemly, "exactly as it appears here.f Captain Parker: "This commission was issued under the law that authorized it 'for gallant conduct in battle.' In reply to a question by Admiral Dew ey, Captain Lemly said: "It is signed by the president. It was a recess ap prominent, but the court will remember that none of those ad interim appoint ments was confirmed by the senate." Admiral Dewey. "It is valueless if it has not been confirmed by the senate. It can go in, but it has no value, of course." At this point the court took a recess until 2 o'clock.

JENNINGS BURNING. Texas Oil Town Is Being Swept Away by Fire. New Orleans, Nov. 4. Fire broke out today at Jennings, a town where an oil gusher was brought in a few weeks ago, and which is now crowded with prospec tors consuming at least twelve business houses entirely, including the Bank of Jennings and the leading hotel. A high wind prevails and the fire is still rag ing. No lives are lost, but the property damage will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The fire was finally gotten under con trol, the brick walls of the MacFarlane hotel arresting further progress. The hotel was saved. About thirty places were burned. Those destroyed include the First National, Jennings' and Citi zen's bank, the Ladies' library. Postal telegraph office, two drug stores, a printing office, the office of the Jen nings Oil company and the Jennings Heywood oil syndicate, the postoffice, Louisiana machine and well works, and Jennings Carriage and Implement com pany. CLARK TO GET IT. Designated For Appointment in the Regular Army. A dispatch from Washington today an nounces that President Roosevelt has designated Captain Adna G. Clark of Lawrence for appointment as lieuten ant in the regular army. Captain Clark made an excellent record in the Philippines as an officer of the Twentieth Kansas. ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT. Mayor Hughes' Appointees Anxiously Awaiting Supreme Court Decision. City officials who hold jobs by vir tue of appointment by the mayor are beginning to wonder what they will do in case the supreme court gives its de cision in favor of Parker. City Attorney Spencer, who was elect ed to his position, and is not worrying, says: "I don't know what the ap pointees are likely to do, if Parker wins. It is rather a delicate position for them. Possibly some of those who hold executive positions will feel it their duty to retire. I do not know whether they could be retired for po litical reasons, even if the majority of the council should try to force them to do so." Street Commissioner Snyder was asked whether or not he would retire. "Don't ask such personal questions," he replied, and laughed as though he would like to catch himself giving up his job voluntarily. Would you resign if Parker wins?" was asked of City Engineer McCabe. "Well, that's a great question," said Mr. McCabe. "You can just tell 'em that McCabe is going to hold his job til! he is "put out." Police Judge Lindsay has agreed with ex-Police Judge Magaw to resign in case Parker is declared elected. If Lindsay carries out his agreement there are many who believe that Chief Stahl and his two sergeants, Goff and McElroy, will also be ready to quit. Aside from Judge Lindsay, none of the Hughes appointees show any symp toms of quitting their positions. They will likely hold on if they can till the expiration of their terms of office. However, all of the people who are in at the Hughes pie counter express the utmost confidence that the decision of the court will be favorable to their pa tron saint. Some of them say they are willing to back their opinions with money. One Year in Sing Sing. New York, Nov. 4. E. C. Anderson, a naval contractor, convicted of attempt ed bribery, was today sentenced by United States Judge Thomas to one year in Sing Sing prison and fined $1.

Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Povdot AN ELEGANT TOILET LUXURY Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Nov. 4. WHEAT Improved cables and bearish world statistics were factors in the wheat pit at the opening today and December wheat started 1t '3-14c advanced, at 707-sC to 70ff71c. There was not much improvement in the outside demand, though offerings here were light. World's shipments had in creased considerably and there was a marked increase in breadsttiffs on pass age that had a depressing effect. Strength in the corn market, however, held wheat to 71c, until toward the end of the first hour, when the bearish statistics brought an easing off to 7070c. Lo cal receipts were 142 cars 11 of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1,000 cars, making a total for the three points of 1,20 cars, against 1,123 cars last week, and 869 cars a year ago. Bread stuffs on passage increased 3,632.000 bush els, compared with a decreas last week of 936.000 bushels. World's shipments were 10.956,000 bushels, compared with 7, 268,000 bushels last week, and 8,396,000 bushels a year ago. December wheat rose in sympathy with the corn situation and closed firm and a shade off the top price for the day, at rac higher than Saturday's close, at 71&71c CORN Corn opened firm with a light trade and light offerings December starting c higher, at 5Sfi58c, on higher cables. Commission houses were fair buyers early, but when this small demand was satisfied the pit eased off dull and December sold back to its lower opening price. Receipts were 110 cars. Scarcity of offerings led to a renewed buying in corn by commission houses and shorts rushing to cover brought De cember up to 59c. Liquidation for prof its eased the market somewhat and De cember closed firm and c higher, at 5834 c. OATS December oats opened some what strong in sympathy with the early strength of corn, with December H'inc up, at 37c. There was a fairly good trade, with a light demand by commis sion houses and on small offerings in the pit. Prices eased a shade early, but re gained their position later. Receipts were 209 cars. PROVISIONS Provisions were dull with a slightly better opening feeling on improved prices for hogs.

Mo. New York. Nov. 4. Although the bank statement on Saturday was decidedly poor and was followed by a momentary general desire to liquidate stocks, the course of the market within five minutes turned into a broad advance of the lit most importance. Purchases of stock were almost entirely scattering. More over there appeared to be one principal buyer in all the stocks, which rose con spicuously. One house took 8.000 shares of Reading. Another took 15.000 shares of Union Pacific; another bought from I0.O0O to 18.000 shares of Southern Railway com mon. It was not expected that any room traders would remain short over Sun day. At the close the belief was general that something important would come to light. There was no reason to think that anvthing in the situation had actually changed on Saturday, for two of the principal interests in the matter were either out of town or away from the busi ness district. That the market depends vastlv at present at least on the North ern Pacific situation is shown by the comparative strength of western railroads over the industrial list. One industrial. People's Gas, of Chicago, ruled decidedly weak. The swing here was very general. Joseph s Tips. Furnished by A. G. Goodwin, Commis sion Merchant, 601 Kansas avenue. New York, Nov. 4. The market will bo narrow and professional today with busi ness largely of an evening up character in view of tomorrow being a holiday and uncertainty regarding election results. Saturday's bank statement was disap pointing and will tend to conservatism on the part of traders, but the monetary sit uation is improving as a result of the re turn of currency from the west and treas ury bond purchase. Some gold is likely to go out this week but shipments have been discontinued. The Northern Pacitia settlement is progressing and will lat-r prove a bullish factor. We advise the purchase of stocks on any decline and we look for higher prices later on in the month. Average buying People's Gas on any decline as insiders are bullish. Un ion Pacific, Southern Pacific, Atchison and St. Paul will pay to buy on all declines. The London market is heavy and lower. J. ARTHUR JOSEPH. New York Stocks. New York, Nov. 4. Wall Street. There were heavy blocks of some of the promi nent stocks transferred in the opening dealings, but the price changes were small and very much mixed. Amalgamated Copper and Sugar were noticeably heavy. Otherwise there was no defined tendency. Prices moved very sluggishly for a few wide declines. St. Paul reacted a point and Great Northern preferred. Northwest and North American lost 1 to 1 points. Distilling stocks were strong, the pre ferred rising H4 and the comon points. Stocks of the local municipal corpora tions were pressed for sale and Dela ware Hudson dropped 2 points, but their weakness was offset by recoveries in the grangers, Pacifies and industrials. There was in addition a demand for the Southern Railway Issues and Illinois Central, the last named gaining a point. Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg com mon and preferred advanced 5 to 7 points respectively. The market was dull and heavy in tone. Bonds were irregular. Speculation was very feverish and the general tendency was governed by the movements of a few leading stocks. Su gar, People's Gas and Union Pacific were sold down about a point and the United States Steel stocks were heavy. When the short covered in Union Pacific, lifting that stock slightly above Saturday's close traders boueht St. Paul, and it rose to 17014. These improvements were not long held, as a renewed selling of Sugar ana People's Gas sent them lower than be fore, the last mentioned touching par. The leading stocks were neglected and scarcely moved y point either way. The general undertone was better, Michigan Central advanced 8 points. Market Gossip. Furnished by A. G.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 4, 1901. 7 POLICE JOTTINGS. Strange Tale of a Man Who Made a Mistake. Went to Police Station and Was Himself Arrested. GOT A HEAVY FINE. Evidently It Does Not Pay to Tamper With Justice. Events of a Day With Topeka Peace Guardians. OST of the grind in police court this morning consisted in attaching a five dollar fine to a few unresisting drunks. The session was a short one. and As sistant Prosecuting Attorney U r m y was net required to match his burn i n g eloquence against any of the regular police court attorneys. K. Benne was the prime sufferer of the lot. His case was plain drunk, but his fine was by no means plain. He got out Satur day, after -'doing time" for a similar offense, and because he took on another jag Sunday, and called at the police sta tion to tell the management what he thought of the place, and then refused to trekwhenthesergeant made a strenuous effort to chase him away, he was given a chance to do $25 worth of penance. When a man streks into jail, he gets his money's worth. Will Jenkins, colored, saw that he yva.3 directly in the path of a serious proposition and entered a plea of not guilty, and hopes to be assisted by an able attorney when he comes before the tribunal tomorrow. His offense consist ed of furnishing a little amusement for a squad of otlicers who were detailed to gather him in Sunday afternoon. He was an employe of a local drug firm, but he went out for a high time, steal ing the ground works of said "time," viz.: a few bottles of whisky and a bunch of cigars, from the establishment of his employers. He then proceeded to make brief but rapid calls at 610 Jack son street, where the police finally cap tured him, after repeated failures. Offi cers Pavey and Smith made a call at the front of the house, just in time to see their victim take his departure by the rear. Pavey pointed a gun at him and told him to halt, but he had other busi ness, and failed to comply with the re quest. As Pavey had no intention of shooting Jenkins, he escaped, temporar ily, but met Officer Lucas in the alley. Lucas took a turn at playfully pointing a dangerous looking weapon at his per son, whereupon he faded gracefully, Mr. Jenkins was evidently a chiropodist, as he wore a corn razor in addition to a revolver and two bottles, of liquor. In addition to other charges preferred against him he was booked for carrying concealed weapons, without indicating whether the charge referred to the gun, corn razor or booze. jr. E. Younkin. fireman of the Audi torium, and dog hunter on the side, had a case on tap, wherein Herr H. Uter man, swordsman and dog fancier, was defendant. It appears that Mr. Uter man had positively refused to pay a six dollar assessment on two canines which were visitors at his house for a short time. They were country dogs and not regular boarders, so Mr. Uterman did not feel it his duty to pay their fare. Younkin therefore secured a warrant for Mr. Uterman. and he explained the matter in court this morning. The court saw the logic of his remarks, but said that the ordinance was of iron-clad con sistency, and called for the almighty dollar, and held that as the dogs found a temporary lodging at his house, Mr. Uterman would be fined the amount, un less he paid it willingly, voluntarily, and instantly. The genial swordsman walk ed out without saying what he would do, but it is rumored that he will test that coin hunting section of the city or dinance. Mr. Wm. Lawless, the liveryman who the worst of an altercation with half a dozen policemen last week, appeared this morning, with his friend, H. C. Undsay. who stated to the court that Mr. Lawless was willing to plead guilty to any reasonable charge, but as he had been beaten up severely in the fight, did not consider it a privilege to stand for half a dozen different charges. Ar rangements will be made for his case later. Chas. Tyler, colored, was fined $10 for petit larceny. Tyler worked at the Dut ton hotel for $2.50 per week, and his crime consisted of taking a basket of cabbage and other vegetables home to his family, who found some difficulty in subsisting on his meager salarv. He may be thankful that he did not add lialf a dozen potatoes to the list of pro duce, as he would have faced the neces sity of standing trial for grand larceny and burglary. Claude Painter, a young man em ployed by the rug factory on Jackson street, was arrested this morning on a warrant secured by the family of his wife, with whom he positively refused to reside. They wrote to him last Satur day, requesting him to call, which he did. Some warm conversation ensued, and the family sent for the police to ar rest him for disturbing their peace. He pleaded guilty and was fined S15 this morning which his employers were glad to advance rather than lose his labor. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Abraham Benson and wife to Mary E.

Positive signs of tuberculosis have appeared in the cow that was inocculated with germs by Dr. George D. Barney of Brooklyn several days ago. Dr. Barney will permit the signs to become more pronounced and will then kill the cow and hold an autopsy. Dr. Barney is now certain that he has disproved Dr. Koch's theory that human tuberculosis and bovine tuberculosis are not intercommunica ble. The cow was inocculated by Dr. Bar ney about ten days ago. On Saturday last it began to show a fever, and now all the known signs of tuberculosis are apparent in the beast. Dr. Barney said last night that he had no doubt that the autopsy to be performed would prove beyond doubt the fallacy of Dr. Koch's theory. Opposition Developing. New York, Nov.4. The London Times and the New York Times publishes ad ditional telegrams from Cork regarding the proposed Atlantic turbaine service. It is stated that the syndicate back of the scheme proposes to meet the war office and admiralty objections by making extensions to Beerhaven from both Bantry and Kenmare. The effect of the scheme would be that Cork's har bor (Queenstown) would cease to be a port of call for transatlantic liners. Strong opposition to the line is expect ed. Nicaragua Buys a Gunboat.

WASHINGTON. it 4m mw0K zVJr The Brilliant Negro Orator and Writer Who Was Dined by President Roosevelt. FOUND NO ONE Fruitless Search of Hirer For Kissing Man. Chief Stahl and Officers Pavey and Lu cas spent part of Saturday afternoon searching the bed of the Kaw river for the body of the missing Russian, avid, whose friends are confident he is buried in. the river in front of Otto Kuehne's preserving works. An employe of the fac tory heard of the disappearance and then remembered that about two months ago while in swimming just In front of the preserving works and near the Rock Is land bridge, he discovered a weighted jute sack which was covered with about three feet of water. He says that he raised the sack out of the water with much difficulty, as it was evidently weighted with a heavy stone, and dropped it immediately because of the horrible smell. Me savs that he was sure it was the body of a man, because he felt the shape ot" his head and that some of the hair protruded through the sack. When asked by Chief Sta-hl why ho had not said anything about it sooner, he made the ex cuse that he never reads the papers and did not know at the time that anyone was mis sin iz. He evidently could not see anything queer about the presence of a body in the river and speedily forgot the find and did not say much about it. Other em- Kloyes of the factory claim they never oard him speak of it until the suspicion of Tavid's friends was common talk, within the last few days. Although the friends and relatives of Da v id have talked a great deal about the matter and seem determined to investi gate, not one of them was on hand to as sist the chief in his search, and it took lots of persuasion to induce the man at the preserving works, called "Shorty." to assist, who was evidently wanting large pay for his services. A boat was secured about 3 o'clock and the chief, accompanied by the man "Shorty" and a State Journal reporter, clawed up the river bed in the vicinity of the preserving plant, finding nothing but tin cans and barrel hoops. The channel has changed since "Shorty's" find and the place where the corpse was alleged to have been found, is filled in with sand. After a lot of hard work the chief, who acted as captain of the dredging craft, gave it up. declaring that as the water was very shallow the only way to find the body was to wade in with pitch forks and dig up the river bed in thor ough manner, as the current was too swift to make a boat practicable. The friends of the missing man said they would make an organized search Sunday, but they evidently feared the waters were chilly, and put it off a little longer. The police are not well satis fied with the case, and the resurrected story of "Shorty" savors somewhat of a vivid dream. LELAND IN GUTHRIE. Politicians Aie Wondering What He Was After. Cyrus Iceland made a trip to Guthrie, Oklahoma, Saturday, and its political significance has been the talk of the lobbies ever since. Delegate Klynn left Guthrie a few hours before Leland arrived, giving it out that he had left for Washington. This circumstance gave rise to an infer ence that Flynn knew Leland was com ing and wanted to avoid a meeting, and being asked for his endorsement for pension agent of the district. Leland was seen Saturday afternoon waiting to see Governor Jenkins. He declined to state what he was after. He remained with -the governor less than five minutes, but had a long audience with him later in the executive cham ber. Those who claim to know say the governor refused an endorsement, not wishing to place himself in opposition to Senator Burton. This is the first time Leland had been in the city since four years ago, when he was there in the in terest of C. M. Barnes for governor. TOUK A FAILURE Because Cornwall Talked English to French Canadians. New York, Nov. 4. The Paris Journal Des Debats, quoted by the correspond ent of the London Times and the New York Times in the French capital, rep resents the tour of the Duke of Corn wall and York as a failure on account of the circumstances that he replied in English to the French-Canadians. The Temps says the duke has return ed home to see at work those strange imperialists, who seem likely to" earn a far more galling name than that of the "little Englanders" namely the "em pire shrinkers" destroyers of the glor ious work of their ancesters.

New York, Nov. 4 The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times saya that much as Russian statesmen would like to see friendlier relations with Great Britain some time must elapse before mutual suspicions "are sufficiently abated to allow a frank understanding. Russians complain of the perverse pleasure of Great Britain in thwarting their plans, and they resent the manner in which the British government seems always on the lookout for a continental sword to use against them. The first step toward better relations adds the correspondent, would be to re store a belief in consistency of British foreign policy, and to abandon the tra ditional dog-in-the-manger policy toward Russia. ATTACKS SOCIALISM. Archbishop Corrigan Preaches Strong Sermon Against It. New York, Nov. 4. Archbishop Corri gan in St. Patrick's cathedral Sunday, preached on socialism. If socialism pre vailed, he said, the world would be in utter confusion, and the liberty and rights of man reversed. Its whole basis, he declared, is a denial of the right of private ownership. "According to the socialists," the arch bishop said, "the entire state is to be a bee hive. In this bee hive there is o be no room for drones. All must work and all must fare alike. You must suppose that those who were formerly lazy, and shiftless and irresponsible have sudden ly, by some magic, transformed them selves into ideal, industrious workers; all this, I say, you must suppose if you are going to embrace socialism." Socialists claim that the present evil state of things can be set right by de veloping property, but he said, some men must work, some men must employ and some must be employed. "Again, socialism does not promote fraternity. Christianity alone can do that. But socialism is not Christianity. All the leaders of socialism from time immemorial have been opposed to Chris tianity." Tennis at Lawrence. Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 4.

It is reported from an unofficial source that General Fred, Funston will shortly apply for leave of absence from the Philippines to visit the United States. General Fred I. Grant will likely succeed Funstoa in command of the San Fernando dis trict. It is reported that Funston is rapidly recovering from the operation per formed at the first reserve hospital in Manila in September, for appendicitis. Funston has had more active service than has fallen to the lot of any of the officers of the Spanish-American war, unless it be General Lloyd Wheaton. Funston was mustered into the service in April, 189S, as colonel of the Twen tieth Kansas. Following a month or two of detached duty upon the staff of General Miles at Tampa he returned to his regiment until his promotion to brigadier general, relinquishing com mand of a brigade when the Kansas regiment was ordered home in Septem ber, 1S.69. He accepted the offer of the war department to remain in the serv ice and sailed for the Philippines in the first week in November. His cap ture of Aguinaldo earned and secured trim commission as brigadier general in tht regular army after the order of his roiiste.- out of the volunteer service had Dten Issued. Thus it will be seen that Funst in has had active and stren uous service since May, 1898, except nine weeks in the fall of 1S90. M'KIJiLEY HIS TEXT. Senator Fairbanks Foresees Monu ment to Rise Over Martyr's Grave. Canton, O., Nov. 4. Senator Fair banks, of Indiana, and W. H. Phelps closed the Republican campaign in Stark county Saturday night. They spoke in the tabernacle, where the late President McKinley, up to the time of his inauguration as president, often spoke. Senator Fairbanks said: "No matter what subject engages our attention, our thoughts irresistibly turn to the .tragedy at Buffalo. "McKinley was the incarnation of Justice and mercy. He was well poised and looked the president. He delighted to do kind and generous things. He was strong and loyal to conscience. He did not affect greatness or superior vir tue. He was great and he possessed the virtues which crowned the noblest manhood. He was clean in person, in thought, in speech, and deed. He loved the people. This was his master pas elon. "In faith we now see our great presi dent amonsr the greatest of immortals. He is now in everlasting and sweet j fellowship with Washington and Lin- coin. How cruel fate seemed when it decreed that Abraham Lincoln should not enjoy the promised land after he bad led his people through the red sea of civil war. "What an unspeakable pity that Pres ident McKinley could not have lived to witness the fruition of his enlightened policies and ardous work! "We shall raise above the ashes of our martyred president an imposing monument, one in keeping with the dig nity of his character and of his great achievements. It will be erected by the gratitude of his countrymen. Here at his home and final resting place, among the people he loved, beyond pow er of the world's applause, shall arise an enduring tribute of the patriots of all lands, a tribute from the high and the low, from all races and from all sections at home and beyond the sea. "If all who dwelt within the range of his generous purpose should contribute, there would, indeed, stand here a monu ment commensurate with his lofty gen ius, and with the strength and glory of the great republic "Anarchy! The enemy of state, the church, the home, the enemy of all we bold most dear. "We will deal with it under the sober and orderly processes of the law. Would that be the concurrent engagement of ail of the powers of the earth there could be no place for the foot of an an archist this side of everlasting perdi tion. "We shall miss the kindly nature, the wise and conservative judgment of our great leader. There is none other among us so great and good as he, or with so gentle and firm a hand, yet we roust take up his uncompleted task and press on. "To his successor we yield a loyal al legiance. If he but walk the path so well marked for him national progress and prosperity lie before us. We have the plighted word. We accept it. We do not doubt it." STAND BY PROHIBITION. County Sunday School Association Adopts Resolutions. The Shawnee County Sunday School association passed the following reso lutions Saturday: "We reaffirm our approval and admi ration of prohibitory liquor law legislation- It has accomplished wonders in Kansas; it has relieved the state of the guilt f legalizing a traffic that manufactures drunkards. Our law is in harmony with the enlightened judg ment of mankind and the teachings of Him who baa declared 'no drunkard tan water the kingdom of God.'

Stahl, for the faithful manner in which he is enforcing pro hibition in Topeka in closing joints and illegal liquor selling drug stores." MR. THURSTON'S APPLES. Topeka Banker Starts an Interesting Competition. J. "W. Thurston, of the Bank of To peka, has started an apple competition that has run the standard of prize win ning Shawnee county apples up at a rapid rate. Not long ago a farmer in talking with Mr. Thurston remarked that last summer there was talk that the apple crop would be a failure. The' man hap pened to be J. F. Wilson, from Elmont. He informed Mr. Thurston that .he had some fine apples on his place, and the next time he came to town he brought some samples of Ben Davis apples that weighed eight ounces. A few days later W. L. Saunders, of Berryton, saw the samples, so he brought in some Ben Davis apples just a little larger. T. V. Shaffer, of Dover, saw the growing collection and became interested. He brought in two beau tiful varieties, the Huntsman and Grimes Golden. The Huntsman has the richest yellow color of any apple, and the Grimes Golden has a flavor that can be produced only in Shawnee coun ty, so the horticulturists say. Then W. A. L. Moore, of Auburn, saw the collection and brought in some fine samples of Missouri Pippins and Wine saps. W. M. Lytle, of Dover, entered into the contest by donating a shoe box filled with Ben Davis apples of an even size and color which are as perfect as the wax samples seen in glass cases. Charles Aye, of Tecumseh, is the last man to enter his apples, and so far he holds the prize. He added to the collec tion a Missouri Pippin weighing ounces, and another tipping the scales at 10 ounces. He also brought along two Ben Davis apples, one weighing 13 ounces and the other 14 He left two at Frank Newland's grocery a week or so ago that weighed an even pound each. Mr. Thurston's competition is open to Shawnee county, and anyone who has apples that can beat those already en tered he would like to have them take a hand. Those who have entered their apples were so interested that some of them made special drives in from the country to place their apples with the others in the front window of the bank. Sale of Detroit Olub. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 4. It became known today that the control of the De troit baseball club has passed from Messrs. Burns and Stallings to S. F. Angus, a local capitalist, when the Peninsular Savings bank accepted a check for $13,000 for the stock that in- stitution held as collateral for a loan made Burns ana t tailings early in ine past season. CARLISLE INDIANS, AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR FOOTBALL TEAM. l 5. N is v i' y -T v l PL .'I f Yr- J x rr- No 'Varsity football eleven in America enjoys the degree of popularity that is vouchsafed to the Carlisle Indians' eleven. Their appearance on the gridiron in an intercollegiate game is always the signal for an enthusiastic ovation which comes even from the supporters of the very teams they oppose. In the hearts of all lovers of football there is a warm spot for these dusky pigskin warriors, whose clever flaying makes them a foe always to be feared by even the foremost 'varsity elevens. The above is a group picture of this year's team. MR. SHELDON'S STORY. Latest Installment Borders Sensational. on the Charles M. Sheldon's new story, "The Reformer," bordered on the sensational in the chapter, which was read Sunday night at Central church to the usual packed house. "The Reformer," John Gordon, has several rather harrowing experiences, the exact relevancy of which to the rest of the plot is not apparent. He first goes, to one of the low vaudeville thea ters with the father of his erstwhile fiancee, Mr. Marsh, and Mr. Marsh is greatly impressed by the disgusting de pravity of the place. Mr. Marsh also has a talk with Miss Andrews, the head of H6pe house, and he half promises to take some financial interest in the improvement of the tenement house3 which he owns. The scene then shifts to the bedside of David Barton, John Gordon's news paper friend, who is dying with con sumption. Incidentally, Gordon's at tention is called to a "yellow journal" story in Barton's paper of Gordon's dis agreement with his father and his sweetheart, and his resolution to enter into slum work. Barton disclaims all responsibility of the story, however. A queer old fashioned woman is in troduced who tells Gordon that Barton has been spending his money sending other people who were suffering with consumption to Colorado, while he him self stayed in the city and slowly suc cumbed to the same disease. The chapter closes with a scene In one of the tenements, where a little boy named Louie, a friend of Gordon's, has died. Here Gordon meets for the first time a man named Tommy Ryan, the political ward boss. The chapter closes with Ryan giving the order that a pine coffin provided for little Louie be taken away and a better one provided. The impression is left with the reader that Gordon and Tommy Ryan, the ward boss, are likely to play important parts in relations to each other. OTTAWA 6; M. S. U. 6. Missouri Tigers Show Unexpected Strength at Columbia. Columbia, Mo., Nov. 4. Missouri uni versity and Ottawa met Saturday on the Columbia gridiron in the best game ever seen here, which resulted in a tie, 6 to 6. Ottawa will play its next game today with Kirksville, and feeling confident of an easy victory in the game with the Tigers, saved their men and took pre cautions against accidents. In this they made a mistake, for the Tigers set a terrific pace at the offset and surprised even their own backers. No sooner had Ottawa kicked off than Missouri had the ball back to center in record break ing time, smashed the opposing line, and was working the ball well into Kansas territory. All this was accomplished by combination work done with such rapid and apparent assurance that the uni versity students forgot to cheer until Missouri had worked the ball by six straight downs to within the Kansas 20 yard line. Here Ottawa made a desperate stand. Baughman got the ball and by good support carried it 10 yards. Washer, of the Tigers, downed him and the home team slowly regained the lost ground by combined work, the best that has been seen on the Columbia grid iron this season. With the ball again on their 20-yard line, the visitors were get ting nervous, when Hall, Missouri's full back, took advantage of the situation, got the ball and went around almost on the line and the Tigers put him over in one surge. Kirk kicked goal. Time, was called with the ball In the center of the field. Score: 6 to 0 in favor of the Tigers. In the second hJTrf Ottawa pursued the same tactics as in the first half and their combination work was the best that has been seen here for several seasons. Their touchdown was made near the close of the game. King took the ball over the line and Kerns kicked the goal, making the score a tie, 6 to 6. Inch of Snow in Missouri. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4. An inch of snow is reported from the northwestern corner of Missouri, and snow also fell in Fayette county, in the center of the state, last night, the first of the season. The cold snap appears general over the state with a drop in temperature rang ing from 25 to 30 degrees, experienced within 12 hours. NEW MINE SOLD. Recent Rich Strike at Colorado Springs Changes Hands. Colorado Springs, Colo., Nov. 4. The control of the Elkton Consolidation Gold Mining company, on the. property of which a remarkably rich strike was made recently, has passed into thehands of eastern capitalists for a consideration based on a valuation of $6,875,000 for the entire capitalization. The names of the buyers are withheld for the present by E. M. Delavergne, their local agent.him self a prominent stockhkolder. The deal is perhaps the largest in volving Colorado mining property since Stratton's Independence was sold in April, 1S99, for $10,000,000. In local mining circles it Is thought that the purchasers are New York cap italists who represent Wehrner, Beit Co., of London, who have sought to buy the mine. READY TO QUIT. W. P. Harrington, Editor of Gove County Advocate, Discouraged. The following signed editorial leader by W. P. Harrington, editor of the Gove County Advocate, one of the bright Populist papers, shows a resignation which is pathetic: "The Advocate is for sale to any one who will take it and run it as a Demo cratic paper. This I cannot do myself with very good grace, and I am ready to quit and leave the field to some one else. "I take this action because I can see no future for a Populist newspaper. During a recent trip to the eastern part of the state I had an opportunity to size up the situation. All over the state the Populists are abandoning their or ganization and going into the Demo cratic party. Next year the state ticket will be made up of former Populists or men acceptable to Populists, but it will bear the Democratic name. There will be no Populist state ticket, or if tine is nominated it will be a bolters' ticket and will cut no figure in the election. A Populist paper would be left without following or influence; I do not feel capable of running any kind of paper but a Populist, and the only thing for me to do is to quit when my party quits. It is to be hoped that the absorption of our party by the Democratic organ ization will result only in good to the cause. From the time that the Demo cratic party threw Grover Cleveland overboard, nominated William J. Bryan for president and put certain of our de mands in its platform it has been a foregone conclusion that the mission of the People's party was ended and that its spirit had gone to reanimate the Democratic party. Populists now have no right to turn back. If they still stand where they stood in 1896 and 1900 they will not be out of place in the Democratic party; if, as is the case with many of them, they are no longer satisfied with the conservative declara tions of past compaigns their place is in some more radical organization like the Socialist party. As for the Advocate, its business out look was never better: its subscription list is growing and the territory from which it draws its business is getting better; I should be well content to con tinue if the political prospect were as satisfactory to me as the business out look. The Advocate will be continued a few weeks longer to give the Demo t rats a chance. If no one will buy I shall take it to mean that the Demo crats do not want a paper and shall stop publication. I have other business interests which demand attention and on my farm I shall not lack for some thing to do. W. P. HARRINGTON. Pensions For Kansans. Washington, Nov. 4.

The matinee audience was good and the mgnt audience small, 'lhe so-called com edy was one of the green-whiskered Irishmen kind with plenty of slap sticks and knock downs and mighty little com edy. The story comes from Denver that the Washburn football players are having the finest variety of a "time" that the Den verites can put up. Theaters, drives and a ride around the loop are some of the amusements. It's mighty nice for those who survived the game to sit up and take nourishment and see all- that was coming to tnem.

M. C. A. of Buffalo, competed and won the pole vaulting contest. He was protested on the ground of professionalism, as it was charged he competed for money in Syracuse and also in Canada. Secretary Sullivan, of the A. A. U., has received a letter from the secre tary of the Canadian association ask ing the co-operation of the A. A. U. in ascertaining the truth. The Harry Gill case also is likely to come up for adjustment. Gill was charged with having accepted money for coaching a western college team at an A. A. U. championship meeting and competed under protest. The matter was referred to the central association in whose territory the act was com mitted. Mr. Gill has written to the A. A. XT., saying that he would like to have his case transferred to the Cana dian A. A. IT., on the ground that he could attend meetings there and defend himself, whereas if it were tried in America it would be a hardship on him to attend the committee meetings. His application has been referred to the president of the Central association. CHICAGO HORSE SHOW. Little Boy, the Fast facer, Will Be an Attraction. Chicago, Nov. 4.

It Escaped From a Box Car and Not a Wheel Turned Till Caught. Argentine, Kas., Nov. 4. A little red bull calf, about eight months old, with a pair of lively hind hoofs and a pen chant for using both horns and hoofs in a vigorous manner, caused a tie-up of traffic in the Santa Fe railway yards in Argentine Saturday night. The calf escaped through a partly opened door of a cattle car which a switch engine was pulling through the yards. While the railroad men arere chasing the little animal there was plenty of excitement in Argentine. Every railroad man in the yards turned out to help catch the calf.

Bethany 30, Emporia 0. Lindsborg, Kan., Nov. 4. The football team of Bethany college at Lindsborg, easily defeated the College of Emporia team by a score of 30 to 0. The Em poria team put up a plucky resistance and played a good clean game but were clearly outclassed. Bethany's goal at no time being in danger. The ball was in Emporia's territory throughout the en tire game. The rushes of Dave Petter- son, Leslie Petterson andKarl Swenson, Bethany's star backs, and Woodward, the crack tacklke were irrestible. After Emporia kicked off it was soon evident that it was only a question of how many times Bethany would score. At the close of the first half the score stood 18 to 0, two touchdowns having been made by Leslie Petterson and one by Dave Pet terson. Swenson kicked goal. Vote Sympathy For IT. 8. Budapest, Nov. 4.
