It was the greatest convention ever held in the history of Kansas. Old-timers who have been attending- Republican conventions ever since there has been any Republican party or any state of Kansas say they never eaw the like. The supreme battle was over the con trol of the organization of the conven tion. Kvery nerve was strained by both sides to carry that. Many of the syndi cate enthusiasts were confident that they had 615 votes for Greer for tem porary chairman, but at the same time there was a feeling of uneasiness among the leaders. The Bailey people on the other hand grew more confident with every minute after Tuesday noon. Prom the time that Sedgwick countv decided to give its solid support to Cole for chairman the Bailey sentiment became more and more solidified, and the fact that the result was within five votes of the way it had been figured bv Chair man Albaugh and Cyrus Leland at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, shows how well they had the situation in hand. But not withstanding; the hard fight between the two factions, there was ?racticaliy no bitterness exhibited. No one pot angry and the leaders of each side talked with their opponents with uo fhow of feeling whatever. 'This beats any convention I ever at tended," said Congressnan Long after I ii Nor r. J. IIAXSA, dnee for Lieutenant Go-ernor. H was well under way. "Two years ago there was intense bitterness among the delegates, but we held it down and it did not crop out in the convention, and there was no fight on the floor of the convention. As a consequence a lot of the fellows went home mad because they did not get a chance to fijrht. Here they ail came spoiling for a fight and nobody could possibly have headed it off. For more than two days a great battle has been waging here, yet I have not seen the least indication of bitter ness." When Greer was defeated for tem porary chairman the rank and rile among the anti-Bailey people became despondent, yet they continued to hope asainst hope. Thev had been led to be lieve that Greer hadasurethingforchair man and when he was so badly defeat ed they lost confidence in the figures of their leaders. Then Richter with drew. Several state senators wanted him for lieutenant governor agam in order to insure them good places on their favorite committees, but a short canvass among the delegates showed that they would not stand for Richter to run again. .Wiiea iiichter's close friends discov- i t I V f "v K O Charles F. Scott, Who Was Nominated Without Opposition For Congressman at Large. ered that he could not make even a creditable showing they were anxious that his name should not be voted on at all. and it was to head off any such pos sibility that Congressman Miller re quested that his name be not presented to the convention nor any votes cast for him. The calling of the roll on supreme court justices was a tedious procedure. Kneh county had three times as many votes as they had delegates, and many of them wanted to divide them among the five candidates for justice. The idea 7 j T. T. KELLY, Nominated for State Treasurer. was to select the three most popular of the five candidates for justice for the long terms, and some counties, especial ly those which had candidates for other offices, did not care to make a choice. The result was as follows: Pollock 75Ss Greene STti3 Mason .647 KUis M6 Cunningham 43S The three highest were given the six year terms. Judge Kllis was given his choice between the two-year and the four-year terms, and he chose the four year. This was a surprise to many, because it has been generally under stood that the two-year was the more desirable, because a re-election wUl come in a presidential year. Then, too, Justice Johnston w-ill be for re-election in four years, and he and Elilis reside in adjoining counties. Judge ElliV choice left the two-year term for Judge Cunningham. The roll call on governor was closely followed by the great crowd in the audi torium. For a time it looked as though Bailey would not receive enough votes on the first ballot to nominate him. and this made the interest still more in tense. At last Wilson county, the third from the last, gave Bailey its solid delegation, enough to nominate him. Woodson county divided its dele gation, giving Bailey two more and six for Miller. Then came Wyandotte coun ty. Everybody supposed it would cast its 40 votes for Knright, and there con sequently great surprise when J, K. Cubbison, chairman of the delegation said: "Mr. Enright instructs me to cast Wyandotte county's 40 votes for W. J, Bailey." Instantly there was a great commo tion, and it' was some time before quiet was restored. The vote on governor was: Bailey 56L Trotttman 217 Miller 1'4 Enright 07 "I saw Bailey had it anyway, and I thought Wyandotte county might as well show him her good will," said Mr. Enright to a State Journal corres pondent after the convention was over. "I had made good my claim that I would have a creditable supxort, as I had 57 votes outside of the 40 from my own county, if we had controlled the organization against Bailey I would cer tainly have been in the fight for the nomination." When nominations for governor were called for T. A. McNeal moved to sus pend the rules and that the nominating speeches be dispensed with. D. W. Mul vane seconded it, but it was overwhelm ingly voted down. Henry J. Allen of Kranklin. was first called for to piaee Bailey in nomination and was enthusi astically received. "I regard that mo tion of Tom McNeal's the narrowest escape I ever had," said he. Ailen had hardly spoken two minutes before McNeal interjected, "The, gentle man's time is up." The convention cheered, but Mr. Allen was overwhelm ingly ordered to proceed. At the first mention of Bailey's name, the convention went wild and it was some tine before order was restored. Allen's speech was received with en thusiastic cheers. Judge C. B. Graves of Lyon present ed the name of H. B. Miller. Judge Graves' speech was a review of the career of Senator Miller, and he laid great stress on Miller's record as an old soldier and pioneer Kansan. Miller has been successful, said Judge Graves, as a banker, a farmer and a stock raiser, but he is not a politician. Sc' J i t yrr Judge Graves took a shot at Governor Stanley by saying that Miller is no ora tor and wdll therefore not be called on to attend all the high school commence ments in the state. Then came Tom McNeal. "The first young man who spoke here," he said, "said something about mathematics. He acknowledged that he could not comprehend anything above simple ad dition. I don't know where a young man of such ignorance could have pick ed up any information about Gallileo but he seems to have done it." Referring to Troutman, Mr. McNeal said: "Forty-eight years ago there was born in the state of Indiana a lusty babe, but I want to say that the fact that he was born in Indiana is not his fault but. his misfortune. He would have been born in Ohio or Kansas, if he could." Mr. McNeal reviewed Troutman's career. He referred to Mr. Troutman's family and said the purchase of the gubernatorial mansion meant that the people of Kansas want a man of fam ily for governor. "If the example of the first man nominated here this after noon were followed," he said, "we wouldn't have any conventions. The question now is, are we a party of stagnation." J. K. Cubbison of Wyandotte then came forward to nominate E. A. En right. Cubbison's strong plea for Enright was that Wyandotte county should have a candidate to make the state solidly Republican in 1904. He said if Enright is nominated the Republican party will carry Wyandotte by 5,000 but if not Craddock may carry it by 3,000. Riehter's nans was not presented and the roll was then called on the nomina tion for governor. The credentials committee reported in favor of seating both contesting De catur delegations and give each dele gate half a vote. Charles F. Scott was nominated for congress -nan-at-large by acclamation. For lieutenant governor, F. C. Raney, of Bourbon, presented the name of W. A. Cormany of Fort Scott. S. N. Hawks, of Rooks, named U. J. t.' vs r, v. T V I 9 v.-'..7" 82--V i I, U. vV.A T C. C. COLEMAN, Nominee for Attorney General. Hanna, of Hill City, and Davis of Ki owa named W. M. Glenn. Then Congressman Miller, of Morris county, appeared, but instead of nomi nating Harry Richter, he closed a short speech by asking that the name of Richter be not voted for. It was a great surprise. The first ballot for lieutenant gov ernor was as follows: Hanna 436 Cormany 433 Glenn 1S2 The second ballot on lieutenant gover nor resulted in the nomination of Han na. The 'figures were as follows: Banna 618 Cormany 403 Glenn 10 While the tellers were adding the vote on the first ballot for lieutenant gov ernor the convention called for Bailey, who had in the meantime been brought from the Carey hotel by a committee. He made a brief speech of thanks for the election of the convention. H. B. Miller was also called for. He pledged his support to Bailey and the state ticket. After J. R. Burrow, who had no oppo sition, was nominated for secretary of state by acclamation, the vote on state treasurer was taken. Senator Burton. State Treasurer Grimes and D. A. Mul vane had been putting forth extraor dinary efforts in behalf of Kelly. Speeches had been ruled out. No one said anything favorable to Kelly and no one said anything against him in the convention. The hour was late, 6:30; many wanted to adjourn The nomina tion was railroaded through and Kelly nominated on the first ballot. Kelly 5S5 Morrow 303 Rhodes 134 The first ballot for state auditor re sulted as follows: Wells 473 Wlison 275 Kelsey 269 By that time it was 7 o'clock and the convention adjourned for supper. Dur- ing the supper hour the three candi dates for auditor did some great work, but Wells' friends succeeded in stam- peding everything. Before the balloting began after supper on the second bal lot. T. B. Gerow of Atchison, withdrew Kelsey's name from the race. That helped Wells, and before the roll call was half through R. B. Ward, of Re public county, withdrew Wilson's name and moved that Wells' nomination be made unanimous. The anti-Bailey men made a desperate effort to line up their forces for C. C. Coleman for attorney general, and they succeeded. They even got Wyandotte county to desert Judge J. S. West. "The Bailey forces as a rule voted for H. J. Bone. The first ballot resulted as fol lows: Coleman 420 Bone 363 West 160 McCulloch 89 The second ballot resulted in Cole man's nomination. The figures were as follows Coleman 532 Bone 45 j West 23 McCulloch 11 The result on superintendent of pub lic instruction was a surprise to many people. The friends of, Frank Nelson were confident of his renomination up to the minute that balloting began. But W. M. Sinclair, the candidate from But ler county who got into the race at a late date, developed very unexpected strength and took away a large share of Nelson's forces. The vote on first ballot stood: Dayhoff 309 Nelson 271 Sinclair 245 Ross 174 Immediately there were cries for Day hoff and Sinclair all over the house. Nel son's Seventh district strength largely went to Dayhoff. and the second ballot resulted in Dayhoff's nomination. The figures were as follows: Dayhoff C20 Sinclair 23 Nelson Ross 51 Luling won for superintendent of In surance by throwing Sedgwick county sol idly into the Bailey camp on the tempo rary organization. He was nominated 011 the first bailot, which resulted aa fol lows Luling 5S0 Osborn 411 The majority of the Shawnee county crowd did not feel very well last night. There were more Troutman "rocXers" -4, V f lP X, ;f, V Yr J WM J tr LV if; i. m. J HARRY F. MASON, Nominee for Six Year Term for Associate Justice. at the convention than for any other candidate, and they had been led to be lieve by the Troutman leaders that Trout-nan had an excellent show for the nomination. Consequently when Troutman failed to receive 300 yotes they felt rather blue, and this was not alleviated by the fact that the Shawnee county delegation failed to cut any great amount of ice in the convention not nearly as much as it was entitled to in consideration of its 39 votes, next to Wyandotte county by far the largest delegation in the convention. HOW THEY ARE DIVIDED. The western half of the state got half of the state ticket, the Seventh district getting four places and the Sixth dis trict three, as much as the other five districts combined. Each was organized and stood together. The nominees are divided among the districts as follows: First district, one Bailey for gover nor. Second district, two Scott for con-gressman-at-large and Kelly for treas urer. Third district, two Pollock for su preme justice and Wells for auditor. Fourth district, one Cunningham for supreme justice. Fifth distri.ct.one Coleman for attor ney general. Sixth district, three Ellis for supreme justice, Hanna for lieutenant governor, and Burrow for secretary of state. Seventh district, four Greene and Mason for supreme justices, Dayhoff for superintendent of public instruction, and Luling for superintendent of in surance. Three of the candidates are old sol diers, Ellis, Greene and Cunningham, all nominees for supreme justices. The indications are that the Burton crowd has the best of the executive council. Two members, Bailey and Dayhoff., are Leland partisans, and two more. Kelly and Coleman, are Burton partisans. The other two, Wells and LVrrow, are scheduled as neutral, but are -supposed to lean towards the Bur ton crowd. When the platform was adopted last ,1 tfV" 1 ft SETH WELLS, Nominee for State Auditor. night Senator Burton wired President Roosevelt that he was endorsed. The tContinued on Sixth Pace.) SENATEAGREES. Conference Keport on Hirer and Harbor Bill Accepted. Met Early to Discuss Philippine Government Bill. AN AMENDMENT MADE Extending "Bill of Rights" to the Filipinos Except as to Bearing Arms and Trial by Jury. Washington, May 29. The senate con vened at 11 o'clock in order that addi tional time might be afforded for the discussion of the Philippine bill. A joint resolution was introduced and passed authorizing the secretary of war to de liver to the governor of New Jersey some condemned bronze cannon not weighing over 1,500 pounds, as might be necessary for the construction of an equestrian statue of the late General Wm. J. Sewall. The conference report on the river and harbor bill was presented and with out comment agreed to. Consideration was resumed of the Philippine government bill. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) in charge of the measure, of fered two or three amendments cf a minor character which were agreed to. He then offered an amendment extend ing to the inhabitants the "bill of rights" of the constitution of the United States except the right to bear arms and the right of a trial by jury. In an swer to an inquiry by Mr. Pettus (Ala.) Mr. Lodge explained that, in the opinion of the majority of the committee on the Philippines, it would be unwise under the present circumstances to extend those rights to the Filipinos. The amendment was agreed, to. Other amendments were adopted as follows: Providing that nothing in the pending bill shall be held to amend or repeal the act providing for revenue for the Phil ippines; providing that a single home stead entry shall not exceed 40 acres in extent; providing that the beneficial use of shall be the basis, the measure and the limit of all rights to water in the islands and that the government is authorized to make rules for the use of the water supply, providing that If bonds or any portion thereof shall be paid out of the funds of the govern ment of said islands such municipality shall reimburse said government for the sum thus paid and said government is hereby empowered to collect said sum by the levying and collection of taxes on such municipality. Some other amendments were adopted but they were of verbal or minor char acter. Mr. Morgan (Ala.) then addressed the senate on. the bill. He cordially approv ed the measure which he said was a de cided improvement on the law now in the islands. Certain changes which he did not indicate, ought to be made in the bill but in a general way it looked toward peace. He read an editorial from an Alabama newspaper which he adopt ed as his own sentiments. The editorial held that the United States had put its hand to the plow in the Philippines and it couid not turn back. The insurrec tion in the islands, Mr. Morgan said.was broken and the duty was left to this government to provide a just and equi table government for the people. Di vision in the councils in this country, he believed, kept the bolomen and la drones in the field. When that was set tled, peace would be assured. If Aguinaldo had in fact, driven Spanish dominion from the islands or had destroyed the power of the United States to hold Manila under the peace protocol, he said, he had worked a mir acle on the development of national power that no man ever attempted. "If Spain was unable to cope with his forces," he said, "it does not follow that Aguinaldo could destroy by an edict the military and naval forces of the United States. "I excuse those who now see a fatal policy in the cession of the islands to the United States," continued Mr. Mor gan. "I still excuse them for not trying to repeal that concession when we know that the success of such an effort would throw the Filipino people ba.k into the arms of Spain, whose tyrannies have made her their unforgiving ene my. "To have crowned such a war, waged with such generous purpose, with such a result," said he, "would have dis mayed stronger hearts than those that beat in the bosoms, even of his Demo cratic colleagues." There never had been, said Mr. Mor gan, a pretense of organized government in the Philippine islands. It was un just to criticise Dewey for refusing to recognize Aguinaldo as president of the Philippine government. "Had he done so," said he. "he would have given aid and comfort to the declared enemies of the United States." This was the legal attitude of Agui naldo and every other Filipino because Dewey had no power to change a decla ration of war by congress. "Dewey," he said, "believed Aguinaldo was de voted to the success of American arms and had no reason to feel that he was a self-seeking adventurer. "The laudations of Aguinaldo's al leged patriotism and heroism," said Mr. Morgan, "that have been poured out in his honor here, are as much out of place as if they had been uttered in honor of the fox in Aesop's fables." Aguinaldo, he said was only a con venient instrument in the hands of con spirators. Had he died another agent would have been found for the Hong Kong junta had not committed their fortunes perpetually to him. "The Filipinos are fighting for liberty," Mr. Morgan continued, "but simply as the savage tools of the junta at Hong Kong." IN THE HOUSE. Washington, May 29. Some minor business was transacted by unanimous consent before the house today resumed the consideration of the bill to increase the subsidiary coinage A bill was passed for the improvement and care of Confederate Mound, Oak wood cemetery, Chicago. Mr. Loud (Cal.) called attention to the fact that there were buried at Cii federate Mound twelve union soldiers and 4,039 confederates and expressed the opinion that the bill would be the first step in the direction of national care for the graves of the confederate dead. But he made no objection. A bill was also passed to reduce the selection of reserve banks to cities of 15,000 inhabitants. Consideration of the bill to increase the subsidiary silver coinage was then resumed, the pend- I ing question being on the Newlanda amendment to the Grow amendment, by which it was proposed to make sil ver coins, coined under the provisions of the act, a legal tender for all debts, public and private The vote then was taken upon the Newlands amendment to make sub sidiary silver coin legal tender. It was defeated 67 to 90. Mr. Grow's amendment providing' that the subsidiary coin should be half and quarter dollars and ten and five cent pieces of proportionate parts of 412 grains was also defeated without division. Without amendment the bill was re ported to the house. The previous ques tion was demanded upon the biil to its passage and a roll call was had upon the demand. KELSEY TO HAVE PLACE. Atchison Candidate For Auditor Slated For Adjutant General. Atchison. Kan.." May 29. At Wichita last night, after his nomination for gov ernor, W. J. Bailey offered S. H. Kelsey S. H. KELSEY. of Atchison the position of adjutant general and Kelsey accepted. Kelsey was Atchison's candidate for auditor and was defeated. BRIDGEJONE. Rock Island Trains All Laid Out Near Liberal. The Road Sustains Heayy Loss by Flood in Oklahoma. Liberal, Kan., May 29. The Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway bridge over the Beaver river. 35 miles south west of Liberal, was washed out last night and all travel over the road Is suspended. Heavy rains here and the west fell last night, swelling several streams. OKLAHOMA FLOODS. Oklahoma City, Ok., May 29. The un precedented rains of the past three days in the western half of Oklahoma are causing serious floods. The Washita river rose two feet last night and is still coming up. The Block Island track be tween Anadarko and Lawton, was washed out and trains are stalled. At El Reno, where the North Canadian river is at the highest point ever known and is still rising, the railway bridge has been washed out. At Bridgeport, the South Canadian river has overflowed the valley lands, and the railway bridge is in danger. A good portion of Greer county, where five inches of rain has fallen in three days, is flooded and at Weatherford the Washita river i3 a mile wide. The damage to crops, and rail ways will be heavy. FINISHING TOUCHES Put on the British End of the Peace Negotiations. London, May 29. The British cabinet which was specially summoned last night, was in session this morning for a little over an hour. It is generally accepted, however, that the session, though brief, sufficed to put the final touches on the agreement which will terminate the war. The colonial secretary, Joseph Chamber lain, was sufficiently recovered from his indisposition to attend what is already des ignated as the "peace" cabinet. REBUKES THE JURY. Judge Kavanaugh Administers a Severe Reprimand. Chicago, May 29. A verdict of not guilty in the case of "William McFetridge, ac cused of murdering his brother, brought a reprimand to the jury from Judge Kava naugh today. "I can not understand how you ever ar rived at such a conclusion," said the court. "If ever a man was guilty, McFet ridge was that man. The evidence was di rect and conclusive. I would not have been surprised if you had imposed the death penalty." William McFetridge and his brother had quarreled for years. Following a suit in a justice court last fall, which had gone against William, the latter met his brother carrying a little girl. After a few words, William McFetridge opened fire and con tinued to fire as his brother ran away. The latter died after reaching home. McFetridge attracted attention at the trial by taking up his own defense and continuing it for three day3. At the end of that time he accepted the aid of an at tornev. He pleaded that his shots were fired, hi self-defense. He said that Robert had often threatened to Kill him and that he was justified in taking no chance. Sev eral witnesses, however, testified that Rob ert was unarmed and made absolutely no move of a threatening nature against Wil liam. Gen. Funston Improves. Denver, May 29. General Funston is improving- and his condition this morn ing was considered very good. His physi cians report that he is better than at any time since he was seized with the fever and his temperature was normal. I-iast night the general had good rest and was much refreshed. IllEVJTABLE. Strike of Pumpmen and Engin eers Bound to Come. Operators of Anthracite Miae3 Prepare to Meet It. EXTRA POLICE FORCE Is Being Sworn in to Protect New Sen From Yiolence. Coal Famine Has Set in Already in Sew York. Pottsville, Fa., May 29. The coal com panies in this section are gathering special policemen to protect their prop erty, and in the event of a conflict on Monday they will have a large body oi men in the field. The Reading company has had 125 policemen sworn in since Monday. It will supplement its regular force with 50 policemen. All have been ordered to report for duty. It is known that a strike of the pumpmen, engineers and firemen is Inevitable. With theae special policemen and the watchmen and special detectives who have been already employed the Reading company expects to have a sufficient force to protect any non-union men who may be brought here to run the pumps. The Mount Claire Coal company and the Buck Mountain Coal company also had commissions issued to a number of special policemen. The Lehigh Val ley Coal company and the Pennsylvania company each will have sworn in o'J policemen before the end of the week, and a score of other companies will take similar action. Strike leaders are protesting against this action. They say there will be no violence on the part of the strikers unless they are forced ta protect themselves. A BLOW TO SPECULATORS. Philadelphia, May 29. The Pennsyl vania Railroad company has notified! coal shippers that on and after June 1, $1 per day demurrage will be charged upon cars detained over four days at Greenwich Point, Perth Amboy, Harsi mus Cove and Baltimore. This action will interfere with speculators who, tak ing advantage of the 'anthracite strike and the consequent increased demand for bituminous coal, are buying the lat ter and using the cars for storage pur poses, pending a market for It at high price. FAMINE BEGINS. New York, May 29. According to re tail coal dealers this city will enter to day upon the first day of its real an thracite coal famine since the strike of miners. Not a cargo was in sight in the markets yesterday. Stocks of many yards were entirely depleted by the severe drain of the last two weeks, and nowhere, except in the yards of the rail roads, where coal is hoarded by thou sands ,f tons, couid be had even a glimpse of the mineral. IMPORTATION OP MINERS. Hazleton, Pa., May 29. Eleven non union men brought here last night from Philadelphia were put to work today at the Cranberry colliery of A. Pardee Co., to rill the places of striking firemen and pumprunners. This is the first im portation of non-union men into the district. It was learned today on what ap peared to- be reliable authority that if necessary the coal companies will next week arrange for an interchange of engineers, firemen, pumpmen, who have signified their willingness to remain at work, but not in their own districts. According to this arrangement, men from the Schuylkill region are to be sent to Wilksbarre, those from Hazle ton to Scranton and those from Wilks barre to Shamokin. The report cannot be confirmed. READ BIBLE ON TRACK. Consequently an Unknown Man Was Run Over and Killed. Kansas City, Mo., May 29. An unknown man was run over and killed by an in coming Rock Island passenger train on the Union Pacific road about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning a short distance west of Muncie, Kan. Two butchers from Bonner Springs, I. J. Carter and Sherman Milstead, witnessed the accident and tel ephoned the coroner. The remains are now in the morgue at Daniel Brothers' undertaking establishment in Armourdale. According to the story of the witnesses the man was sitting on the track reading when the train came suddenly around a curve and was upon him before he could escape. There was nothing found on the body that would give a clue to his iden tity, but he was evidently a German, as the book he was reading was a Bible in the German tongue. He was a man of dark complexion, a sandy beard, was about 5 feet 6 inches in height and would weish about 135 pounds. The head was so mutilated that it would be impossible to recognize the features or to estimate his age with any degree of accuracy: but. as tne hair was not gray. It is thought that he was a man between S3 and 40 years. A NEW FORI) STORY. It ia That Malcolm "Warned Paul a "Week Before the Shooting. New York, May 29. In connection with the Ford tragedy which occurred recentlv in this city, a story hitherto unpublished is in circulation regarding the cause of the shooting which cost the lives of the author, Paul Leicester EVrd, and his brother, Malcolm Ford, the fa mous athlete. It is to the effect that Malcolm, who was not provided for in his father's will, notified Paul a week before the shooting that he must have $25,000, which he claimed was his due because he signed a waiver permitting the probating of the will. He is said to have declared that he needed the money badly and to have tacome much in censed when Paul replied that he did not have the sum on hand, adding that he should consult other members of the family. Malcolm is said to have replied that one of the heirs had kept the agree ment but that he would not consult the others, and departed with the declara tion that he would return a week hence for the money, failing to receive which he should resort to desperate means.

While asleep Sunday Tom was attacked by the aforesaid mosquito, which Tom says was as large as a crawfish, and a desperate battle en sued.

Oscar SchrecUengost. recently released by Cleveland, has accepted the terms of the Philadelphia American league club. Some of the Cleveland players are not on the best of terms with Capt, Bonner, and that may account for the poor work of the Babes. Detroit Free Press. Since his recent hurdle performance Dug gleby hasn't been particularly blessed with luck. He has lost all three of the games in which he has done the twirling. Manager Fogel says he'll bench Mathew son if he doesn't show better pitching form. Matty has asked for his release rather than adorn the bench, but it has been denied him. "Silk" O'Laughlin says that bouncing beer glasses off one's head Isn't what it is cracked up to be. He has suggested a novel scheme of umpiring games in Baltl more from a balloon. James A. Hart is now said to be the largest owner in the Chicago club. Jim owned but S3 shares until last week, when he Invested in t!40 more, giving him the controlling interest. Jim O'Rourke. who has been cavorting over the diamonds of the country since the game was professionally organized, is still in the game, baldheadeu and seered by the ravages of time. Charley Comiskey has ordered his man ager to go after Pitcher Bernhard.now tin der orders of the court to play ball for the Quakers. Comiskey says the court and Quakers can be settled with later on. But he wants the pitcher. Manager McOraw has failed in his ef forts to land Pitcher Kernhard, who, in replying to "Muggsy's" telegram, said un der no conditions would he play bail out side of Philadtlphia in the face of the rt cent decision of the courts. Pittsburg is beginning to suffer from its own prowess. The fans are growing tired of the one-sided contests and are staying awav from the games. Pretty tough when the fans stay away because a home team is winning. Charlpy Comiskey is now the possessor of so many hats that he says he will either have to stav out doors all the time or wear them to bed. He secured the top pieces on bets made that the White Sox would go east at the top of the column. It is rumored in Cleveland that Frank Bancroft of the Cincinnati Reds has been doing a lot of campaigning among the Cleveland players. He had long heart-to-heart confabs with Bradley and Moore, whose contracts expire at the close of this season. Never in the history of professional league baseball has there been such a close race as that of the American, Barring Cleveland, which seems to have Its measure of tough luck, the other seven teams are about as evenly balanced as they could well be.

A few months hack they noticed a great improvement in the looks rf their pet of many years, and also noticed that it devoured the food as it did years ago, which led them to make another examination, which proved to their utter astonishment that the cat was again growing a full and complete set of teeth, which were nearly developed.

AN OFFICIAL TALKS. Chas. L. Seagraves Says Trust is Fighting Beet Sugar. Believes That Congress Should Protect the Industry. Santa Fe officials state that if con gress removes the duty from Cuban sugar it will ruin the sugar beet in dustry in Colorado, which "the Santa. I'e has been doing all in its power to de velop for the past two years. It is further asserted that the officials of rival railroads are helping the sugar trust to kill the sugar beet industry by making very low rates on sugar ship ments from Xew York to western points, thus enabling the trust to undersell the beet sugar producers in their home markets. All of the Arkansas valley from the Kansas state line to La Junta, Colo., is suitable for the cultivation of sugar beets, and several immense sugar fac tories have been erected. The Santa Fe's main line runs through the heart of this beet country, reaching the towns of Holley, Lamar and other points in Prowers county. So tar the Santa Fe has had practically a monopoly of the business of transporting sugar beets to the factory in this rich valley. The Santa Fe has circulated .vast quantities of literature advertising the Prowers county beet district, and has induced many settlers to go there and take ad vantage of the Amity irrigation canals and the low price of lands. It would be a severe blow to the Santa Fe and to the settlers if the beet industry should be driven out of the competitive held. Speaking of the combine to destroy the sugar beet industry, the Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Some of the western railroads are accused of helping the American Sugar Retinitis company, commonly called thi 'Sugar Trust,' in its efforts to kill tiie beet sugar industry in Nebraska and oiorado. "The Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and the Missouri. Kansas and Texas railroads have joined the Mallorv steam ship line in making a through rale of .'!H cents per luO on sngar from New York via Galveston to Kansas City, St. Joseph, Omaha and Lincoln, Neb. On this rate the so-called sugar trust has jut shipped into the Missouri river terri tory L'l.iii carloads of sugar, aggregating ii.Otiu.uuu pounds. The result is that this sugar is put on that market at a lower figure than the beet sugar growers of Nebraska and Colorado can meet and realize any profit. The Illinois Central railroad has given notice that it wiil join in making via New Orleans the same rate of ai cents from New York to Missuuri river pioints that other roads are making via Galveston." Chas.L. Sea graves, immigration agent for the Santa Fe, who. has been chiefly employed recently in looking after the sugar beet industry and the advertising of the advantages of that business for farmers, said today, in speaking of the situation; "If su;ar is admitted free of duty from Cuba, it certainly will be the end of the sugar beet industry. The produc tion of sugar from sugar beets is an in fant industry, and deserves protection, just as the iron industry was protected until it attained its present strength and can now successfully compete with similar industries in foreign countries. "One point worthy of first considera tion is that the proposed measure will not help the working people of Cuba. It will help the sugar trust, and that is all. The reason the people of Cuba are not more prosperous is simply because they won't work. They already have plenty of opportunities to work, and do not take advantage of them. When they get a dollar they gamble it away. The rea son that the sugar beet industry can not compete with free sugar from Cuba is because of the cheap Cuban labor, and the further fact that the sugar beet in dustry is not sufficiently developed to enable the factories to make up In eco nomical methods of production for the advantage of cheap Cuban labor. "The sugar trust is not a producing company. It simply is engaged in the refining of sugar. The beet sugar peo ple both produce and refine. As a coun ter blow, the sugar beet companies pro pose to congress that if the duty is re moved from Cuban sugar, that the duty also be removed from German refined sugar. This will hurt the trust, and we believe that if one industry is to be ruined by congress, they both should be." HAS A BABY ENGINE. Geo. W. Smith's Farting Gift From Chief Clerk Hilly er. When George TV. Smith, the late mas ter mechanic of th coast lines, savs the San Bernardino Transcript, left the ser vice of the Santa Fe. it was generally supposed that he turned ail of the rolling stock over to his successor, but this was not the case, for hp carried awav at least one locomotive of the Baldwin series. Let it be ;u!d-d with haste, however, that the late official did not really take a gine of the r nidation size, but just, carried away a modi'l, the sift of a thoughtful friend. It seems that last fall a friend pre sented to Harry Hiilyer. mechanical de partment chief clerk, part of a good sized locyvnotive model.

After holdine a conference with W. S. Grandy, division master mechanic, the shopmen at Newton have picked on Sat urday, June 28. as their dav for holding the annual picnic at Aikansas City. Some time ago the men at Topeka, Newton, and La Junta decided to hold their annual romp on the same date the 21st. It was found that the company could not well spare the equipment tor all three places the same day, and as Newton was the last to make the choice, the matter of making a chansre was up to it. Only the action of the Topeka officials who have charge of getting the special trains will alter the plans of the Newton men, and it is improbaoie that there will be any change. The event takes place at Arkan sas City. According to the reports of a man who returned to Topeka recently from the East, there is a stringent demand for machinists on all the great eastern lins of railroads. The way he said it was that there were a dozen or more lobs for everv man who wanted to take them: and at some division points of such syst ems as the New York Central advertisements were being printed for workmen. The wages vary from 2 to cents an hour. or 3 and 4 cents an hour above the usual schedule. The dearth of machinist;? which he has observed belongs not only to one class and one locality, but extends nil over the I'nited States; the mechanic who wants to work can step into a job any where and stav with it as long as he con tinues to do his dutv. A former Santa he man who came up from th- South last week says that at three or four points on other roads where he stopped to trv his hand only a few days at. a time and was unable to continue on account of poor health, the foremen all but begeed him to remain with them. It. is only an evidence of the wonderful activity which pervades railroad circles recently. HILL JSSAFE. The Professor Makes His Way to Fort de France. Acknowledges That He Was Badly Frightened Himself. KEXNAN HEARD FROM. He Penetrated to the Edge of Mont Peele Crater. Latest Eruption Sent Smoke Three Miles High. Fort de France, Island of Martinique, May 29. A trenendous explosion of very black smoke from Mont Pelee at a quarter before 9 o'clock accentuated the fear entertained for the safety of George Kennan, the American author, who with a land party, has been exam ining the northern part of the island. The governor of Martinique was at once consulted with the object of ar ranging for a rescue party to proceed by land in connection with the voyage along the coast of the United States cruiser Cincinnati, should such steps appear necessary. At about 11 o'clock Ferdinand Clorec, r. wealthy landed proprietor of Martinique, arrived here and anounced that Mr. Kennan and his party were safe on a plantation at the north end of the island. Proi'. Robert T. Hill, United States geologist and head of the expedition sent to Martinique by the National Geographical society, who left Fort de France Monday on horseback for the volcano, has returned l)ere. He was completely worn out by his trip. Prof. Hill relates an interesting story of his examination of the district through which he passed. He left Fort de France at 1 o'clock Monday after noon. He was accompanied by a Mr. Cavanaugh, an army officer from the British island of Trinidad, and a boy named Joe who was to act as inter preter. The party set out on horseback and took the direct north road for Morne Rouge. Between the hamlets of Doux Choux and Fonds St. Denis, the party entered upon the outer edge of the zone of ashes. But for exceptional patches all the country to this point was green and smiling. Upon reaching the Raibaud plantation, one mile southwest of t. Pierre, the explorer met the clear line of demarcation of the zone of flame and destruction although not of anni hilation. Monday night was spent In a deserted house at Fonds St. Denis, from which Prof. Hill witnessed and studied the volcanic eruntion of tlWit night. At this point the horses of the party became exhausted. Early the next morning Prof. Hill pushed on to Mont Parnasse. where several people were killed in the erup tion of May He encountered no hu man beings, but he aid meet a number of abandoned cattle, which tried to fol low him. From Mont Parnasse the ex plorer proceeded to Morne Rouge, where he succeeded in getting a number of Important photographs. He found that a close approach to Mont Pelee was im possible and as his actual position was dangerous he started back in a south erly direction. At Champe Flore Prof. Hill's horse gave out completely and he secured the services of native guides, who led him by wild mountain paths to Fonds St. Denis and Deuxchoux. Tuesday night was spent at the latter place. From this point Prof. Hill sent a messenger into Fort de France, with a request that a carriage be sent for him. Wednesday morning the profes sor left Deuxchoux and walked to with in, fifteen kilometers of Fort de France, where he borrowed an old horse from a negro and continued his way. The carriage met him five kilometers from Fort de France and brought him back to town. Prof. Hill heard the explosion of Wednesday morning w-hile on his way Into Fort de France, and he says a cloud of black smoke at a great height was drifting slowly to the south east. Speaking personally of his expedition to Mont Pelee, Prof. Hill said: "My attempt to examine the crater of Mont Pelee has been futile. I succeeded however, in getting very close to Morne Rouge. At 7 o'clock Monday night I witnessed from a point near the ruins of St. Pierre a frightful explosion from Mont Pelee. and noted the accompany ing phenomena. While these eruptions continue no sane man should attempt to ascend to the crater of the volcano. Fol lowing the salvos of detonations from the mountain gigantic mushroom-shaped columns of smoke and cinders as cended into the clear, starlight sky and then spread, in a vast black sheet to the south, and directly over my head. Through this sheet which extended a distance of ten miles from the crater, vivid and awful lightning like bolts flashed with alarming fre quency. They followed a distinct path of ignition, but were different from lightning, m that the bolts were norl zontal and not perpendicular. This is indisputable evidence of the explosive oxidation of the gases after they left the crater. This is a most important observation, and explains in part the awful catastrophe. This phenomenon is entirelv unknown in volcanic history, "I took many photographs but do not hesitate to acknowledge that I was ter rified, Vut I was not the only person so frightened. Two newspaper corres pondents who were close to Morne Roug-3 some hours betore we became scared, ran three miles down the mountain and hastened into Fort de France. "The people on the north end of th? island are terrified and are fleeing with their cattle and effects. I spent Tues day night in a house at Deuxchoux with a crowd of 200 frightened refugees. "Nearly all the phenomena of these volcanic outbreaks are new to science and many of them have not vet been explained. The volcano is still intense ly active and I can not make any pre dictions a? to what it w-ill do. The story related by Fernando Clero is also interesting. Mr. Clerc says: "Mr. Kennan and his party have been with us. We got around the mountain and Thoroughly Cooked Ready to Eat Fruit and Wheat Flaked Food For blood, brain, nerve, muscle.

We discovered that it had broken out at the very head of the river Palais and about 200 yards from the high road. Our party rode directly to the edge of the crater, as It was then quiescent. We saw that a great slice of the mountain had fallen, leaving exposed a perpendicu lar cliff. In this cliff were five huge tun nels, which were not smoking. The crater is a great sloping oval depression from which smoke issues as it does from the great crater with the exception that here were few ashes in the smoke. The river Falais is boiling hot and so muddy that one quart of water weighed four pounds. Volcanic stones of the nature of pumice float in this water. "Mr. Kennan witnessed the explosion Monday night and was much interested in the phenomena. The explosion was ac companied n t intervals by a bright light which lasted for half an hour at a time. This light was steady and illuminated the entire mountain top. Prof. Hill savs he did not see this light. I left Mr. Kennan and his party in good health and in safety. They seemed to be in no hurry to- come back to Fort de France." The latest explosion was accompanied by an enormous column of smoke which rose fully three miles into the air, but which was" largely hidden from the view of the people of Fort de France by a heavy cu mulus. There was consequently no panic here. This column of smoke was seen from the British cruiser Indefatigable while she was at s-ea. The Indefatigable arrived here to make another attempt to recover the body of the British consul at St. Pierre.

The netvs Is received In the State Jour nal building over wires tor this sole pur pose, busy through the entire day. A complete copy of the night report is also receive.!. Senator Burton appears to favor any kind of reciprocity which Is warranted not to hurt the beet sugar trust. The World's fair division of conces sions and admissions at St. Louis has eleven hundred applications on file for various privfleaes. Two prominent divines are discuss ing the relative degrees of wickedness of various large cities, but how can they know about such things? By the time congress arrives at the point of taking a vote on the Pacific cable bill, it is not unlikely that there v. ill be one or more lines in operation. So?ne of the newspaper fellows are taking- advantage of Funston's illness and consequent inability to defend him self to try to prove that he can't swim. A perusal of theOhio Republican plat form will convince doubters, if there be such, that Uncle Mark Hanna. must be reckoned with in disposing of the presi dential nomination in 1304. With the Ohio delegation and the solid south behind him Senator Hanna -vv ill give the other presidential candi dates something to think about when the next national convention assembles. In urging a repeal of the tariff on cattle, meat and hides, the Indianapolis News says: "The time must come when a breac h will be made in the tariff wail, i-'o far the breach has not been made. Protected trusts sell their products abroad at a lower price than they do at home. But no tarirf is reduced, and it docs not take a prophet to see that not one wiil be unless the people rouse themselves and make a demand that even the trusts controlling' legislation shall not be powerful enough to with stand." DISAPPEARANCE OF II ID CLE MEN'. John V. Rarnes, president of the New York produce exchange, in his report at the annual meeting of the exchange, claimed the decline in business on tha exchange is the result of trade com binations. He said: "The. port of New Tork has shared In the general growth of trade and com merce of the country, and certain in terests of the exchange have been bene fited. The net registered tonnage en tering and cleared from the port of New York increased more than one million tons last year. Much tonnage, was carri.-d, however, at unprofitabls rates. There has been a considerable increase in the export of wheat from the country and a slight increase at this pott. Corn exports at New York for tile past twelve months show a decrease of thirty-three million bushels as com pared with the previous twelve months. "The farmer is prospering, but the produce merchant as a middleman is steadily being supplanted by large cor porate interests dealing almost directly between the producer and consumer. A large petroleum trade once conducted on our tloor has passed in this trade evolu tion, and the hour, provision, iard and oil trades are concentrating in a limited number of corporations, which Is most noticeable in the export trade of these products. Even the grain trade is not free from the same tendency." CHANGE IN FLOUR TRADE. The flour trade In the northwest Is best measured by Minneapolis ship ments. The total shipments for the first IS weeks of this year were 5,11;?, 154 barrels; 4.374,533 barrels in 1WI and 5.713.848 barrels in 1900. For export the average weekly shipments were lower by one half in 19'12 than those of the first IS weeks of 1901, and less than half of the total export ship ments for the corresponding period in jn.,0. Foreign trade in flour lias evi dently undergone a radical change. Receipts of wheat at eight leading markets in both spring and winter wheat sections to May 1 for the current year amounted to 214.0Sl.St8 bushels compared with l4.7;i622 bushels for the corresponding portion of the last crop year. Tile average weekly ship ments of flour from Chicago and Chi cago points eastward since January 1 were 1 52. fc'.'i barrels compared with 187. :!5 barrels in 1901: and 1.642.009 bushels of grain thus far this year compared with 2.5M.OOO bushels in 1901. The pro vision traffic eastward from Chicago has averaged thus far this year 25,879 tons per w eek co n pared with 21.600 tons in 1901, being an increase of 19.8 per cent. Receipts of flour and grain at the .Atlantic seaboard continue to empha size the loss of trade on account of con ditions prevailing at the interior. Dur ing April. New York received 8.615,525 bushels of grain, including flour re duced to bushels, compared with 9.653, liuahels in April, 1901. The total re ceipts last year to the end of April at Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore from seaboard sources and interior centers were 107,452,234 bushels compared with 63,023,198 bushels for the corresponding period of 1902. GLOBS SIGHTS. tFrom the Atchison Globe.. When a rich man falls in love, the storekeepers count on selling him any thing. When a Kansan hears a girl talk of a life being blighted, he wants to Know if it was drought or flood. Graduates talk of being turned out on a cold world at the period when it is just beginning to be a warm one. No theatrical performance exactly pleases a woman, unless she is given plenty of opportunity to wipe her eyes. If you are of a more grateful disposi tion than your neighbor, don't take credit to yourself: It may be that you are older. Girls, If familiarity with a lover breeds contempt, the sooner you find it out, the better. You are a long time married and dead. Whenever we see a funeral proces sion go by with its attendant sadness, we try to imagine 30,000 in St. Pierre, and find we are growing dizzy. When a woman marries a man named Smith or Jones, she tries to rise above her environments by naming her chil dren Gabrielle, or De Mounteville. When a woman gets a yard of lace at a dry goods store, it means one trip back to change it, a trip to match what she changed, and a fourth trip to get more. This is the season when our enjoy ment in watching girls out for a walk is spoiled by their frantic efforts to feel if their shirtwaists and skirts meet in the back. This world is so unsatisfactory that a girl has many opportunities for look ing reproachfully at her father, and later, for looking the same way at her husband. After every meal in a certain Atchi son family, the members expend enough energy in quarreling over who shall wash the dishes, to accomplish the work. If a man adopts a protective air with a girl in lifting a sunshade for her, she feels that it would be nice to have a man take such good care of one all through life. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. 1 It is so easy to make friends that no body has any that are genuine. A mart knows he loves by what joys he feels; a woman by what she suffers. It is the six-foot man with the square jaw what is led around by a little bunch of petticoats. An old Wife and a young husband have one chance in a thousand to be happy but they never take it. It is the easiest thing in the world to make a woman understand a thing, if only you won't reason with her about it. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. A letter of credit C. Play bills stage money. In poker a kitty can look at a king. A man never forgets how good he is to others. The man who goes up against the wool market often gets worsted. It's funny that a girl in society fo keep in must be continually going out. Scribbler "Don't you think I could make a living out of poetry?" Cynicus "Yes, keep out of it and try." When a man starts a conversation by paying he's a friend of yours look out for some impertinent remarks. "They say there's a difference in tha weight of hair," remarked the Simple Mug. "So?" queried the Wise Guy. "Yes, blonde hair is lighter." "How old is vour coat-of-arms?" in quired Mrs. Blooblud. "Old!" echoed Mrs. Freshrox. "Why, we had that coat-of-arms made to order." "What are your prospects, air?" de manded her father. "Fine," responded young Nurvy, "I expect to come into a fortune soon." "Whose?" "Yours." "A freight train is a pretty good tem perance lecture," says the Manayunk Philosopher. "No matter how much the cars are loaded the engine that does the work gets along strictly on water." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Wealth adds to the wisdom of the wise and to the folly of the fool. Silence is the principal ingredient in the eloquence of discretion. When Fortune smiles on a wise man he doesn't examine her teeth. A married woman of 20 imagines she knows a lot more than a spinster of 40. When a man acquire the title of grandfather he sighs to think how old his wife is. A woman is seldom in a position to command until she has given her prom ise to obey. Most political speeches are as much too long for the hearers as they are too short for the speakers. About the surest way to acquire last ing popularity is to forget yourself and think onlv of the wants of others. When a man goes away from home for a change he usually come back with less than he had when he started. No doubt poverty would be less of a misfortune were it not for the fact that so many people treat It as a crime. How some people who are so widely different from us can be satisfied with themselves is past all human under standing. Ml Humors Are impure matters which the skin, liver, kidneys and other organs can not take care of without help, there is such an accumulation of them. They litter the whole system. Pimples, boils, eczema and other eruptions, less of appetite, that tired feeling-, bilious turns, fits of indiges tion, dull headaches and many other troubles are due to them. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Remove all humors, overcome all their effects, strengthen, tone and invigorate the whole system. "I had salt rheum on my hands to that I could not work. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla end It drove out the humor. I continued its use till the sores disappeared." Mas. Ira O. Baowit, Rumford Falls, Me. Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to euro find keeps the promise. THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. The Republicans have nominated a strong man for the head of their ticket. W. J. Bailey will bear close inspection. He Is familiar with affairs of state and nation and his neighbors upon the farm say that he is one of the gentlest of men. He can make a good speech: ifa a hard worker; a man with a clean record and spotless integrity. The ticket has two weak spots: Kelly, the nominee for state treasurer, has been shown by the official and un animous report of the board of county commissioners attested by the county clerk to be unfitted for an office of trust. Friehds of Mr. Kelly say he Is a good fellow, needs sympathy and that the ills complained of transpired ten years ago. When any party puts Into candidacy such a man for the of fice which handles the money of the state of Kansas it must be in hard straits or some of the leaders must have heavy political or personal debts un paid. The other weak spot in the ticket is the nominee for Superintendent of In surance, Mr. Luling of Wichita. Mr. Luling seems to be another good fellow who goes wrong occasionally and raises Cain generally, as he did at Concordia, Scandia and Topeka. It is to be hoped that he, too, will reform and set a better example of exemplary conduct to the young Republicans. The Republi cans of Kansas may feel themselves so strong that they can elect for the office any one who happens to capture the nomination. Perhaps they can. We shali all see. ODD FELLOWS VOTE. J. M. Johnson Far in Lead For Grand Master. The voting for the officers of the grand lodge of the Independent Order of odd Fellows for the jurisdiction of Kansas is taking place in the subor dinate lodges of the order this week.

THEY LOVE TAFT. Agtiiaaldo's Former Secretary of War Tells Row It Is. Washington, May 29. General Filipe Bueneamino of Manila, formerly Agui naldo's secretary of war, called on the president today in company with Secre tary Root. General Bueneamino was taken prisoner by the United States troops at the time Aguinaldo's mother was captured, and since that time has been at the head of the federal Filipino party. He told the president today that his mission to Washington was to correct some of the false reports that have been put In circulation with a view of discrediting the work of both the civil government under Judge Taft and the ar.ny The civil government, he told the president, was doing a real ly wonderful work for good in the is lands and it had been ably seconded by the army. The stories of cruelty per petrated by our soldiers, he said, were either wholly untrue, or greatly exag gerated. Thg army had conducted itself in a Way to elicit praise from all right thinking Filipinos and this, too, in the face of the greatest temptations and provocations. Judge Tafts commis sion had the entire confidence of all rightly disposed natives, he said, and it was General Buencamino's hope that Judge Taft might be induced to remain an indefinite time at the head of the civil government. The Filipinos, he said, love Judge Taft for he has never once deceived them, and they know htm to be thei friend. The general will ap pear before the Philippine committee of the senate within the next few days. 20 BUILDINGS BURN. Big Tire is Raging at Jersey Shore. WUHamsport, Pa., May 2?.

U.W. lodges of the city have notified their members to assemble at their respective lodge rooms on Friday, May 30, at 1:30 p. m., to take part in the Decoration day parade. Since this was done the G. A. R. committee has thought best to have the parade start at 3 p. m.. instead of 2 p. m., and as those marching in the A. O. U. W. division are expected to be in line on West Seventh street right resting on Quincy at 2:30 p. m., it would seem that 2 o'clock would be early enough to assemble at the lodge rooms, and any who are unable to get to the lodge rooms at that time could go direct to Seventh street, west of Quincy. Two guns by the battery at 2:30 will mean "get in line"; one gun at 3 o'clock starts the parade. All A. O. U. W. members are expected to take part. MRS. JONES DENIES. Card From Her Concerning Cer tain Statements. To the Editor of the State Journal. The article in your issue of last even ing in which you use my name with that of one of our citizens does me a gross injustice, and is a libel upon my character. In that article you state that Mr.Yount had "been paying attention to me for years," and that "he had con tributed to my support for several years,"also that he had "doubtless taken me with him when he left town." None of these statements are correct In any particular. 1 have for years earned by hard work and the help of my children an honest livelihood. The only help Mr. Yount ever g-ave my family was money loaned to Mr. Jones, which was never paid back to him. The two families were friendly for years. I have lived In this city for more than 14 years and my walk through life has been an up right one. I have not been out of the city and have no idea of leaving. I am not re sponsible for statements made by oth ers, and particularly such statements as contained in your paper last evening. There has been no such relation be tween myself and the party you men tioned as intimated. MRS. FLORA E. JONES. Topeka, Kan.. May 9, 1902. I T.

MOKE RAMPANT THAN EVER Condition of the Rebellion ia Cape Colony Grows Worse. London, May 29. In spite of Mr. Bal four's pretended uncertainty, there is no doubt whatever in the house of com mons, or elsewhere, that a full peace settlement will be announced Monday next. The capture of Commandant Malan announced from Middleburg, Cape Col ony, last night, renews attention to the activity of the rebellion in Cape Colony. Commandant Malan took the late Com mandant Sheeper's command when the latter was captured by the British and Deeame cnief Boer commandant in Cape Colony after Commandant Krltzenger's capture. Malan, who was mortally wounded when captured by Major Col ett's mounted troops, was among the irreconcilables who refused to send dele gates to the peace conference at Vere eninging Transvaal. According to the latest uncensored correspondence from Cape Town, the Boers are still in constant occupation of at least 22 different localities in Cape Colony, having more than a score of bands of raiders, mounted and armed, and of sufficient mobility to defy suc cessful pursuit, although the British have often swept and "cleared" every mile of the colony's territory. A corres pondent reports that the "invasion is more actively aggressive than ever and rebellion is more rampant." The campaign against the Boer com mandoes in Cape Colony, which has been in active progress for 16 months, has achieved nothing beyond keeping them moving'. "Any occasional success." the corres pondent adds, "obtained by the 17 Brit ish columns operating in Cape Colony, is more the result of luck than of their tactics and these unpalatable facts will continue as long as so few columns co operate in the hustling. The inade quacy of the supply of troops is at the root of the unsatisfactory operations." New Crop Wheat. Portland, Ore., May 29. The British ship John Cook has been chartered for new crop wheat loading at 28 shillings, 9 pence, the lowest rate reported for a ship of that size since the chartering movement began.

NOT ONE OF GUESTS. Arthur Munson Goes From Wedding to Police Station. One of the uninvited guests at a wed ding in Lowman Hill last night rode away in the patrol wagon ere tfce nup tials were arranged. The unfortunate would-be spectator was Arthur Mun son, son of the ex-superintendent of the city light plant. The occasion of the festivities at the Lowman Hill church was the wedding of Mr. F. S. Brown and Miss Jennie Green. It was noticed that sundry and various bad boys had disturbed several meetings prior to the occasion, and to have things go smoothly the manager of the affair put in a requisition Jot a "cop." Hence Patrolman Voiles. tf the day force, was sent out to keep the peace. After the ceremony began Voiles no ticed that some boys were throwing: clods and other missiles. He went and told them to "cut that out, vou." The Munson boy told him to "go to," and proceeded with the amusement. Some more conversation followed, and Mun son went round back of the church and raised a window. The window had no weights, and the boy had lots of fun raising1 it and then dropping it with a dull thud. Voiles again approached and tried to chase the boy away, but the youth was not ready to go, and used some lang uage which is usually very injurious to the user when addressed to a large policenan. Then the copper placed a large hand on the boy's shoulder and told him to "git." Instead of "gifting" Munson smote the copper in the optic, which unfortunately for the smiter, is nearly 6 feet from the ground, and he was promptly thrown down and ren dered docile by means of the "snaffle bit" carried by officers. Munson w ill be tried this afternoon for disturbing tho peace. MAJ. ANDERSON'S COMMENT Talks About Old Soldiers on Republi can Ticket.

Wichita, Kan., May 29. When the Re publican state convention adjourned for supper last evening the Wichita news boys were crying the State Journal on the streets. Some of them were at the door of the auditorium and others swarmed around the entrance of the Carey hotel. Scarcely any other paper was offered for sale. When State Auditor George E. Cole went into the dining room at the Carey hotel for supper he carried a State Journal with him, and he first read of his election as chairman of the conven tion from it. The details had been tele graphed to Topeka s.nd the paper had gone back to Wrichita, 160 miles away. by the time the convention adjourned for supper. The State Journal's enter prise caused a great deal of comment on the streets and in the hotel corridors of Wichita. BRYAN'S DISCO YES Y. Tells Tom Johnson the Cubans Didn't Think We Would Keep Faith. Cleveland. Mav 29. "Just what Brv&n and I talked about I haven't told, and I do not propose to tell." said Mayor Torn Johnson upon his return from Chicago, where he met Bryan.

It was the revulsion in feennR which the Cubans underwent. Bryan said the Cubans did not believe the United States would keep faith until they saw their flas go up. They all believed, until then, that at the last moment something would happen and that Frosident Koofte velt would issue a proclamation continuing the occupation of the island by the United States troops. This was especially true of those who could not speak English. "Bryan was the biggest American down there, but he was not there in an official capacity." 50 CENTS A YEAR.

A consignment of fifty prairie dogs from Kansas was re ceived at the Central Park menagerie yesterday and they were placed in the new prairie dog village which was con structed on the hillside where the rab bit warren used to be. All of the little animals which had been in the park for several years were destroyed last spring by the heavy rains which caused a landslide and buried the rodents in their burrows. Director Smith had some difficulty in getting a new lot of the animals as the people in Kansas say the dogs are becoming scarcer and it does not pay to capture them. No Loss of Time.

Republican Convention Also Stood by Cuban Reciprocity. Foilowins is the platform adopted by the Republican state convention: The Republicans of Kansas in con vention assembled declare as follows: We cordially reaffirm our continued adherence to the principles enunciated in the national Republican platform of 19(0, and we heartily congratulate the country upon the beneficent results that have followed the practical application of those principles to governmental af fairs. We deeply mourn the untimely dentil of our beloved president. William McKinley. His gentleness inspired the love of every citizen, while the strength and majesty of his character com manded the admiration of mankind. A Ftatesinan whose profound is loni made him the most potent political factor umiiig the rulers of nations, by his un selfish and patriotic devotion to hi.t country's welfai e, lie became the id of t'ae entire people. Under his adminii- I. L. DAY1IOFF, Nominee for Superintendent of Public In struction. tration the country attained a degree of unparalleled piosperity and won the highest prestige anions the nations oi the earth. The whole civilized world shares our sorrow. His name and serv ices are a part of the splendid and en during history of the republic. We have not forgotten the lesson so bitterly taught by his death at the hand of an Anarchist assassin, and we ear nestly demand the early passage of a law for the protection of the lives of our presidents and other high officials Bfruinst the assaults of those who seek tiie destruction of our free institutions. A GOOD WORD FOR JIOOSKVKLT. The Republican party of Kansas un qualifiedly endorses the administration of our president, Theodore Roosevelt. It is proud of all he has been and all he is. A brave soldier, mother family, friends, the comforts of home nor of a higii official position he he'd at Washington could keep him at home when he frit that hig country needed him and the gallant souls that (fathered around him. A splendid ex ecutive, when .New York called him to the governor's chair he demonstrated in every way his fitness arid capacity to rule. No interest was powerful enough to coerce him into wrong-doing and no interest so weak but that it was sure to receive needed protection. We recall with satisfaction that the Kansas dele gation to the last Republican national convention led the van in the fight to place the name of Roosevelt second on the ticket. Subsequent events have proved the wisdom of our action. In the occupancy of the higher place he has won the admiration of the entire country. He is simple, direct and un affected. He is in constant quest of the truth, always striving to do the thin? that is right and best viewed from the highest standpoints. Clear and quick 111 perception, prompt and resolute in ac tion, he merits and receives universal public confidence and affection. Honest and brave, there is no power strong nough to divorce from him the people of the west. Kansas looks forward with joy to the coming time, but two years distant, w hen a victorious Republican party will march under banners hearing the in scription, "For President, Theodore Roosevelt." CONGRATULATIONS TO CUBA. It- honorable fulfillment of the pledge made nearly four years ago, the United States, after aiding the people of Cuba to establish a stable government, has re tired from the island and the republic of Cuba has taken its place among the free and independent nations of the world. We most heartily congratulate the Cuban people upon the auspicious beginning of their national career, and we tender them our best wishes for their continued peace, happiness and pros perity. It w ill ever be a sorce of pride to the people of this country that it was by the noble generosity of American im pulses, by the valor of American arms and the wisdom of American statesman ship that Cuba was freed from poverty and oppression and a new republic ad ded to the family of nations. FOR RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA. We indorse the recommendations of President Roosevelt that the United States should enter into just and liberal reoim-ocal trade relations with the re public of Cuba, and wo look to a Re publican congress to establish these re lations on such terms that the benefits arising therefrom will go to the people of Cuba and to the people of the Unite.! States, thus resulting in mutual ad vantages and good will. By the terms of the treaty with Spain, the Philippine islands became the terri tory of the United States, and this na tion is bound by every consideration of honor and good faith, as well as of self interest, to assume the responsibility which such ownership entails. We heart ily approve the administration in the action it has taken to suppress insur rection and establish the national auth ority in the islands, as well as the pol icy it has pursued in instituting civil government therein as rapidiy as possi ble and with as large a participation on the part of the people as can at this time ba safely and consistently permit ted. PENSIONS. The Republicans of Kansas have al ways been the firm friends of the vet erans who fought through the great civil war to preserve the Union, and we hereby renew the expression of our gratitude to them and favor liberal pen sions for them, their widows and or phans. We are also loyal to their sons, tiie soldiers of this day who. under the leadership of Wheaton and Lawton and MacArthur and Funston, have proved themselves worthy of their heroic sires, and we condemn in unmeasured terms the false charges made against them and the brutal attacks made upon them by those who seek thus to gain a paltry politic a! loivantage. THE TRUST QUESTION. We cordially indorse the energetic efforts that are being made bv the attorney gen eral of tb! Untied States under the direc tion of the. president to enforce lhe provis ions of the Sherman anti-trust law enact ed by a Republican congress. The record &l oar $iiu-ty. In Us opposition to combina tions of capital having for their purpose lhe restraint of trade, the crushing out of competition or the arbitrary and unwar ranted advancement of prices, is clear and consistent. And if it should become ap parent that existing laws are inadequate to pronerlv regulate these combinations, the Republican partv may he relied upon to enact such for their legislation as will fully protect the interests of the people. THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF. The Republican principle of a protective tariff was never more firmly fixed in our rational poliev than it is now. It has de veloped our industries, preserved our do mestic trade, extended our foreign markets and contributed more than any other one policy to our present unparalleled prusper 11 v. Reciprocity has been well described as the Handmaid of protection, and under a wise Republican administration, reciprocal arrangements can be negotiated with other nations which will result in opening new markets for American products without in anv degree interfering with the prosperity of our home industries. We therefore re affirm our adherence to these two cardinal tenets of the Republican faith, believing that both will be of the highest impor tance in helping the United States to win and maintain the commercial supremacy of the world. CHINESE EXCLUSION. We note with satisfaction and approval the enactment bv the congress now in ses sion of legislation which will debar the Chinese from admission to the United Stales to the detriment of American la bor, and we demand that our immigration laws be so strengthened as to exclude alt unworthv and undesirable imigrants whose presence" menaces our citizenship and in jures our wagewcrkers. We are proud of the triumphs achieved during the past five years by American di plomacy, and we particularly approve the abrogation of the Clayton-liulwtr treaty, which will enable the government to pro ceed with the construction of an isthmian canal, to be maintained under the author ity of the United States and under the protection of our flag. We indorse the course of our senator and representatives in congress. We earnestly commend the able, honest and economical administration of Gov. btanlev and the state officers and con gratulate the people of the state that un der their administration its a flairs have been so managed as to meet the approbation of the people of Kansas. We recognize in the wageearners of Kansas an element comprising a stalwrart and desirable citizenship, whose rights and interests should be fully protected and conserved. Earnestly believing that the unparalleled prosperity which has come to all classes of our people during the past rive years has been due in large measure to the prac tical application of Republican principles, and that the continuation of existing con ditions depends largely upon the continued asei ndencv of these principles, we pledge our united' and enthusiastic support to the nominees of this convention and cordially commend them and the principles they represent to all the people of Kansas.

Facts About the Men Who Make TTp the Republican State Ticket. Willis J. Bailey is a native of Illinois. He was born in Carroll county, in that state, October 12, 1854. He was educated in a district school, then in the Mount Carroll high school, and lastly in the University of Illinois, from which he graduated. After his graduation he came to Kansas in 1876, and settled on a farm where the town of Baileyville, Nemaha county, now stands, and he has been farming and raising and feeding cattle ever since, and his accumulation of wealth proves his success as a farm er. He laid out the town of Baileyville, promoting nearly all of its industries. He orsanized the State Bank in the town and has always been its president. Sometimes he leaves his fields in his farm clothes and goes to look after the affairs of the bank. Bailey's political career began in 18SS, when he was elect ed to the legislature. In 18JS he became a candidate for congress in the First district but was defeated by Case Bro derick. Two years later he was again a congressional candidate. Then came the famous Horton agreement, the nom ination of Curtis in the First district, and of Bailey for congressman-at-iarge. Bailey served one term in that capacity, but he wanted to serve the First dis trict, and in 1300 he again became a candidate, as provided by the terms of the Horton agreement, but the agree ment was broken and Bailey was de feated. Mr. Bailey has never married and there is considerable speculation as to what he will do with the executive mansion when he shall become gover nor. ABOUT D. J. HAN'XA. Like W. J. Bailey, D. J. Hanna, nom inee for lieutenant governor, is also a native of Illinois, where he was born in 1866. His parents came to Clay county, Kan., in 1870, and he was brought up on a Clay county farm. In 1888 he went to Hid City and has since engaged in the banking and real estate business. He represented Graham county in the legis lature in 1895 and was a delegate to the last Republican national convention. His brother, George W. Hanna, is a can didate for the nomination for lieutenant governor on the Populist ticket. J. R. BURROW. Joel R. Burrow, Republican candi date for secretary of state, came to Kansas during the seventies and lo cated at Smith Center. His first work was to carry the mails for Uncle Sam across from a station in Nebraska through Smith Center to Osborne. He saved a little money and invested it in real estate. Then he saved some more and invested that the same way. He kept on buying land t.nd making more money until he had enough to start a bank, and he is at the head of the First National bank of Smith Center, and is now credited with being one of the wealthiest men in ttie Sixth district. It is a peculiar fact that he had no opposi tion whatever for secretary of state, an office which pays as well with as little work as any elective office in the state. T. T. KELLY. Thomas T. Kelly candidate for state treasurer, is a native Kansan. He was born down in Johnson county and lived there until he grew up when he moved into the adjoining county of Miami, where he farmed for some time.

Itavanaugh Approaches to With in One Mile of Pelee Crater. FWt de France, Martinique, May 29. Noon The crater of Mont Pelee has been approached to within one mile. This feat was achieved Tuesday after noon by George Kavanagh, an unat tached newspaper man, who had ac companied Prof. Robert T. Hill, U. S. government geologist, on his expedition. When Prof. Hill turned south toward St. Pierre. Mr. Kavanagh continued on past Morne Rouge. His route seems to have been along near the Cale Basse di vide. He says he descended from Morne Rouge into the valley between Morne Rouge and Mont Pelee. This valley was deeply strewn with ashes. Mr. Kava nagh was guided by an aged negro to where an old footpath once led to Lake Palmiste, near the summit of the crater There an iron cross, twenty feet high, was buried in ashes to within a foot of its top. Before him stretched upward the mountain slope covered with ashes which were soaked bv the heavy rains and baked by the sun and volcano heat, looked like a cement side walk. The whole mountain top was shrouded in smoke. Forgetful of the explosion of the pre vious night and the awful suddenness of the outburst and tempted by the seeming ly easy accent, he continued upward and made photographs and rough sketches. Mr. Kavanagh found the valley filled with ashes and two great rifts, which he was afraid to approach. In the evening he turned back, reaching Morne Rouge at about 9 o'clock. He had made no new ob servations .and realized his danger only the next morning, when occurred the greatest outburst since Mont Pelee's first eruption. On AVednesday Mr. Kavanagh tried to descend to St. Pierre, but failed. He found a little hamlet in a valley near the mountain blacit with 150 dead bodies. They were not carbonized nor had their clothing been burned off. Probably this valley lay near the inner edge of the zone of blasting flame. George Kennan reported from Morne Rouge this morning. Two hours ago Prof. Angelo Heilprin, president of the Philadelphia Geographical society, but here under the auspices of the National Geographical society, left here with Mr. Leadbetter to make a three days' careful exploration and study of the new craters east and north.

HANNA SAYS KEEP ON. Offers Amendment to Motto of the Previous Convention. Cleveland, O., May 29. The Republi can state convention nominated the fol lowing; ticket: Secretary of State Lewis C. Laylin, of Norwalk. Judge of Supreme Court William B. Crew, of McConnellsville. Food and Dairy Commissioner Hor ace Ankeny, of Xenia. Members of the Board of Public Works William Kirtley, Jr., of Ded ance. The convention, which has been a con tinued ovation to Senator Hanna, closed with a great demonstration in his honor, to which he responded in a characteris tic speech. The senator at former state conventions has sounded keynotes that have been taken up by Republican glee clubs. He told them today to sing, "Keep On Letting Well Enough Alone," in the campaign rallies this year. The convention was distinguished for harmony in all that was done. One of the last reconciliations was that of Sen ator Hanna and Former Governor Asa S. Bushnell, of Springfield. The latter had been here all week, but Bushnell and Hanna never spoke as they passed each other's quarters. They had not spoken since the memorable contest for I the senatorship in 1897. Before going to the convention they met in the most cordial manner. The delegates who "got them together" gave glowing reports around the convention hall of the way they were calling each other "Mark" and "Asa" again. Senator Hanna and George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, also had a friendly farewell after a contest during the day over nominations. What were called the Hanna men won on all ballots, but Cox supported none of the winners. In making up the state ticket Hanna and Cox were on opposing sides, the same as in the contest for the organization for the legislature last January, but good feeling prevailed after the convention was over. While Senator Hanna was cheered as he entered the hall, as he announced the vote of his county delegation, of which he was chairman, as General Grosvenor and other speakers referred to him, and on other occasions, the men tion of the names of President Roose velt, Senator Foraker, Governor Isash and others were also cheered. Many ladies attended the convention, among them being Mrs. Hanna, who oc cupied a front seat on the platform, but she and the ladies with her left the hall before the senator was called out for the closing speech. Before the secretaries could announce the result of the public works ballot, by which Mr. Kirtley was nominated for members of the board, there were loud and repeated calls for Senator Han na, and the greatest demonstration of the convention occurred as he was be ing escorted to the platform. The con vention had been in continuous session from 10 a. m. until almost 4 p. m., but the senator received the closest atten tion and appeared at his best in the most forcible delivery. He said: "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Republi cans: I thank you most heartily for this cordial reception, and congratulate you most heartily upon the success of this convention. "The candidate which you have nominated will receive the unanimous support of the Republicans of Ohio. Your speakers. Governor Nash and Con gressman Grosvenor, have sounded the keynote of this campaign, one on be half of the state and the other on be half of the nation. These twin issues will meet together in a common cause and create a force that will win victory. We had a motto in the last convention: 'Let well enough alone." I propose to offer an amendment to that: 'Keep on letting well enough alone.' "There has been consideration of state affairs, and especially of the work done by the legislature of our state, which will appeal to the people in terested in sound, economic govern ment; and will also appeal to those who have felt the burden of taxation and have sought relief and found it. There are questions of great interest in this campaign because we are called upon to vote for members of congress, who shall support our strenuous presi dent during the balance of his admin istration. "Of course, as in all campaigns, there are issues which the Democratic party are trying to make for us upon national ques tions. They have talked in the halls of congress for days and weeks upon a ques tion which the Republicans of the United States settled last year, but we can par don them, for it is all they have left. But how are they making this issue? Standing before the American people and proclaiming that the policy of President McKinley was wrong morally wrong. Why, Republicans of Ohio, 1 blush to have to say that it seems to me almost an insult to the memory that such things could be said upon the floor of the. United States senate against a man whom not only the Republicans of Ohio, but the Republicans of the nation worship. Shame upon a party that will attempt to bring that name into disrepute and dishonor through his policies inaugurated, as they were, in the interest of humanity. Those of us who were close to him during those trying days, when new questions came up. well know how he wrestled with them prayerfully and intelligently, that he might do what was best for those people on the other side of the world. Weighing everything in the balance and praying to his own highest authority God he came to the conclusion that the best thing for us, and for them, was that we miyht ex tend to them ail the blessings of a free government, controlled by a power which knew what free government meant. That was a policy born of the best thought and the best efforts that could be exercised for the good of those people who had come into our hands, and without the aid of a party that had much to do with bringing on the war with Spain for the elevation of their race and the spread of Christian morality. That was the inspi ration of McKinley; that was the motive of all the people of the I'nited States. When as a result of that policy we are confronted with the conditions that we find tod;iy, shall we follow the issues that prompted" the prejudices of a party to thwart tis in tne work of humanity and Christianity? Never! In the words of Roosevelt, 'Our flag is there and it will stay put.' "My friends, as we enter upon this con test in our state, let us remember our martyred president, and, inspired by the policies to which he had devoted his life, which have made this country great and prosptrous, let his spirit guide us, and under that Inspiration Jet us go forward, every maa, with a determination to vin dicate these policies "A new era is dawning upon this coun trv. Our great development has reached a "point that has placed us in the front rank of nations, not only by the power and weight of our affairs, but also be cause we have become the greatest man ufacturing and industrial nation of the w-orld. The development Is a natural con sequence of the evolutions that are going on. Labor and capital are approaching each other in the proper spirit. "I believe in organized labor, and I be lieve in organized capital as an auxiliary These two great forces are working out the destinies of our country, and they must be friendly. They must be ably and honestly administered, and they must be controlled. Our prospcts are bright, and. as I have said before, we have entered upon this contest full of hope because we are right, and we will get there." Tt the conclusion of Senator Hanna's speech there was another demonstration. After the acloption of the eagle as the party emblem, the state committee was authorized to fill all vacancies and the convention adjourned. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, May 29. WHEAT Grains were Inclined to dullness at the opening today and tended to a steady tone after yester day's decided break. The foreign markets, while a little lower, showed comparative firmness and helped prices here rally a lit tle after a small early dip. July wheat opened V&Hc lower, at 72li72'Vic. and dip ped on some fair selling to 2c There was a bearish sentiment In the pit on the very excellent crop reports. Showers were falling in some sections of the winter wheat country, but northwest it was re ported warm and clear. Receipts also in creased materially. Some covering bv shorts stopped the decline and pushed July back to a steady point, at TSsc Local re ceipts were 2t cars'. Minneapolis and Du luth reported 203 cars.

CORN Heavy commission house selling for frightened holders who feared a con tinuance of yesterday's break, started fur ther weakness in that pit at the opening today. But dullness and the comparative strength to the foreign situation steadied the decline and prices easily reacted to last night's close. There was also some fair buying by the followers of the bull house that is supposed to have July cornered. After yesterday's drop cash houses lowered their bids to the farmers and the country tightened up on its stuff, thus curtailing acceptances. Receipts were much in creased, tut with the closer holdings again by the farmers, the crowd feared smaller movement again. Many traders are fearing the July "deal," for houses competing with the bull interests say the price of that option can lie put anywhere in the desires of the Wall street crowd. July opened a shade higher to. 14fic lower, at 0aii628C, and steadied at "63c. Recaipts were 226 cars. As the session advanced some fair ac ceptances were reported and estimates for tomorrow were put at Sl cars.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING. MAY 29, 1902. 7 The Doctor Wr CHAS. H. FLETCHER, New York City. Hyaimis, Mass,, May 12, 1900. Dear Mr. Fletcher: I wish to congratulate you on your numerous vic tories over counterfeiters and imitators of Castoria, and trust the time is not far distant when these inferior and dangerous mixtures will be entirely suppressed. You are right when you say in your advertisements that it is Experience against Experiment." I feel it to be an outrage, and an imposition upon the parents of little chil dren that my name should be associated with imitations of Castoria, dangerous to the health and life of these little ones who too often fight their battles for life in vain. Let me again commend you for the high standard you have maintained in the preparation of my prescription, and I confidently believe it is due to this scrupulous integrity you are indebted for the wonderful sale of Castoria to-day, and the steady growth it has had since I gave you the details of its manufacture in my laboratory thirty-three years ago. qJ.z,.

An optimistic view of the outlook in the iron and steel trade is taken by the Iron Age, in today's issue. The article says: "Requirements of the steel trade are at present commanding the most atten tion. It is reported that the United Prates Steel Corporation is negotiating with the valley furnaces for 100,000 tons of bessemer pig iron for delivery next year, probably running into the second quarter. This follows heavy purchases of bessemer pig iron by other consult ing Interests. If this negotiation is consummated the valley furnaces will have their surplus product completely disposed of until next April at the earl iest. It is further reported on good au thority that the United States Steel Cor poration have purchased 50.000 tons of southern basic pig iron. The price ob tained is stated to be equal to $19.15 I'ittsburg.

Story of a Pioneer. Tlio. Tt. Ross is the pioneer real estate dealer cf Topeka. Kan. He fcs bee a in business twenty-seven years, and in tnat time has sold more land than all the dealers together, who are now in business there. He located in Topeka in 1873, and witnessed its jrrowth from a town of a few thousand inhabitants to its present aize. "For several years" he wiites, "my wife and I suffered with that terrible malady known as dyspepsia or indigestion. We commenced to hs Kodol Dys pepsia Cure a the recommendation of our druggist. After one dose, and in a abort time, all those terrible pains and dyspepsia torments passed away. My ap petite, also my wife', came back, and our food could be enjoyed as when we were 21. I am turning 77. I have noi suffered se day with my stomach since I com menced to use Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, and I recommend it to all of my fellow ci ti ed!." Sound Stomachs Blake Strong Men and Women. If your stomach is weak and needs a rest, the common Bense method is to use a preparation like Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, -which con tains all the acids and peptones that a healthy stomach should con tain and will digest your food without aid from the stomach. In the laboratory tests in glass tubes, according to the TJ. S. Pharmacopoeia, Each Teaspoonful Digests 3,000 Grains of Food, Such as pie, cake, eggs, cheese, meat, fats, beans, starch, etc. Surely the preparation which will do so much without the stomach's aid cannot help but benefit you. It is fair to suppose that even the weakest stomach will give some help. Cathartics and stimulating tonics simply remove the eSect of indigestion but they will not cure the cause. fl happy results. I have no more trouble, and when one can eat mince pie, cheese, candy and nuts after such a time, their digestion must be pretty good. 1 heartily endorse Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It cures all stomach troubles." The $1.00 bottle contains Z times as much size which sells for 50 cents. 4jn aW mw&'Simm burg, aggreg-ating 20,000 tons. Eastern steel works have purchased about six thousand tons of low phosphorus pig iron in England at a price of about S22. 50 laid down here. These occurrences em phasize the activity prevailing among steel manufacturers. The continued strike of the anthracite coal miners is causing increasing trouble to western consumers of pig iron. Sev eral furnaces in eastern Pennsylvania have been obliged to bank for lack of fuel. This is creating trouble among foundries particularly, and interferes seriously with the booking of new busi ness. The belief Is now entertained that the blast furnace workers in Ohio and west ern Pennsylvania will not strike June 1, as has been feared. A large tonnage of foreign steel billets is being offered here through importing houses, so that the supply from this source would seem to be fairly adequate for early needs. Foreign beams and other structural shapes are selling in fair Quan tities. Reports from the West say that, for the first time in the history of the trade, the implement manufacturers have, prior to June 1, placed their contracts for their yearly requirements, running from July to July. General conditions throughout the iron trade continue of a character to satisfy the most sanguine believer in a continu ance of existing prnsxerity. Scarcity ex ists in so many lines and the consumers of all classes of products are so eagerly waiting for deliveries from furnaces and mills that it will require a considerable period to catch up even with ail works running to their utmost capacity.

What a hades some people go through because their food does not supply the right kind of nourishment to the body. Take the following for example: A gentleman in Baltimore says: "About two years ago I began to ex perience a peculiar depression occasion ally with pains in the back part of my head and down along the spine. Grad ually my eyesight began to fail and my memory grew poor. A general nervous ness set in. I used all the will power I could command to help myself but was forced to give up a good position and seek the advise of the family doctor. He said neurasthenia and sent me to a great nerve specialist. So for four months I was massaged and dosed with medicine, but all to no benefit; then I went to New York and consulted Dr. He sent me to another great specialist, and he in turn sent me to Sanitarium where I stayed for a long time. It was the same old story. I was dosed with medicine and massaged and bathed. Finally I left there and went to another specialist who told me I" would only live a few months. This rather frightened me and I placed my self under Dr. He said the stomach was at fault and probably I had not been given the right kind of food. He put me on a certain line of treat ment and insisted that I use three or four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts each meal. I was under his care for several months. I steadily improved until now I am fully restored to both mental and bodily victor. He explained to me that Grape-Nuts contains a goodly portion of phosphate of potash, a nerve and brain food, and that the food being partially digested the system could make use of it easily. At any rate I got well and both the doctor and myself know tnat Cirape Nuts made it possible. I sincerely believe that practically all of our nervous troubles are caused by imperfect nourishment. It was for tunate for me that I could get such a food as Grape-Nuts. You can use this letter but don't publish my name please. Name given by jfostum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
