Tile youngest class in th high school, January '115 had a section of seats on the south balcony. Provided with mega phones and other instruments of noise productive qualities, they led in the din. Next to them on the left sat the class of January '04 with a banner in front of them on which were the words "Class spirit and good will." Directly opposite the section of the class of '04 on the north side of the hall were the school colors, blue and white, forming a background for the design of the school pin studded with incandescent electric light globes. Next to this was the section reserved for the June class of '03, with the colors red and white. The best display was made bv the June class of 'u4. The class colors, preen and while, make a very pretty combination. An e'.-i trie banner hang ing from t'ne ceiling proclaimed the class to be that of June. '1.14. The members of the sub senior !as th" next class to graduate, were in charge of the work of decorating th Rtage in th (lass colors. veiit.W and v-fine. and the 01 ramenlation with the class flower, the daisy.

'""un" 01 "town jniversttv and superintendent of the Chicago schools, and who has but recently been universtnefew rU''!!'1r"hit) of the" State umvetsity of M isconsin Dr. Andrews spoke on the subject of self-culture. lie began his address by compliment ing Topeka. He said: "This is a proud evening for Topeka. Nothing is so significant of the character of a city as the manner in which its inhabitants regard the matter of education. This large graduating class and this large attendance here tonight is indicative that the matter of self-culture is one not wholly disregarded-'by the people of Topeka." Continuing, he said: "The notion of self-culture is praeticuily identical with that of education as education is un derstood by the most modern thinkers upon the subject. Education is no long er conceived as a merely mental affair. Several extra intellectual elements en ter into it. One of these is bodily train ing. No one is thought to be thorough ly educated any more who has a weak body unable to bear stress and strain. Education also involves ample dis cipline of will, by which I refer partly to trained motor activity in general, partly to the power of Herculean will effort on given occasions and partly to the power of intense will application over long periods of time. Aesthetic and moral building are further extra intel lectual elements of a rounded educa tion. 'X wish to maintain that culture in this large and beautiful sense of the term is a possibility for us all. No doubt it is easier of attainment if we are permitted to attend institutions of high learning or have access to libraries, laboratories, museums and the like. But it is intrinsically possible for every one of us, for the mechanic in his shop, for the farmer, for the teachers far off on the country side, for you and you overwhelmed with work. Do not make the mistake of supposing that because you are deprived of scholar's privileges you must remain boorish ami rough. Not so, you can stand among the truly cultivated if you will. ..v'.-. "To see this note wdiat the sources of culture are. First is nature, mother earth, the land, water and sky just about us and the million forms of life and beaut.j- they contain. Are not these near? Cannot the farm hand witness them as truly as the millionaire? Must one travel and pay heavy toll to see sunshine, or green grass, or glassy lakes or rainbows, or the stars studding the infinite biue sky above on a fair mid night? Another source of culture is literature. If the go-od derivable from this depended on reading great numbers of books most of us must be estopped, for we cannot travel to where great li braries are; but the cream of literature is found in eight or ten of the world's masterpieces like the Bible, Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, and these you can pur chase or borrow. "Art is another source. By the pub lication of the penny picture series and other cheap representations of great art works rich and inspiring acquaint ance with the best art of all lands and times is possible for us all. Fourth and last, humanity itself is a source of cul ture. Our fellowmen, the children iu schools, our neighbors, the cultivated and the uncultivated, the native and foreigner. FIvery dullest child in any schoolroom or family is a genius at some point." The plodding farm hand, the operator, the peddler, the Indians, Continued on Sixth Page.) LL TIED UP. Santa Fe Trains Are Stopped by Washouts. Those Due to Leave Thursday Still at Osage City. TWO RIVERS RAGING. Neosho and Cottonwood Are Causing Trouble, Da a 111 age on the "Cut Off" i is Ke- Panta Fe trains Nos. 5 and 1, which were due to leave Topeka at 11:40 a. m. and 1:15 p. m. Thursday, did not pull out of the Santa Fe depot till 9 o'clock last night. They got as far as Osage City, and are now being held there. They are unable to get any further be cause of high water in the Neosho and Cottonwood rivers in the vicinity of Reading and Emporia. Superintendent McDellan of the east ern division is at the scene of the trou ble. Reports received from him are very meager and uncertain. Today's No. 5 and No. 1 arrived about two hours late. No. 5 getting in here at about 1:30 and No. 1 at 3 o'clock. They were sent over the main line fron Kan sas City. It is expected that the dam age to the main line w ill be repaired by the time hey reach Emporia. A "short 5" out of Emporia was talk ed of this morning, but it was decided to await the arrival of the trains. A "short 6" was sent out of Topeka last night, on the schedule of No. 6. which was tied up at Emporia, as re ported in Thursday's State Journal. It is stated by the officials liere that nothing at all has been received from Flmporia to show' whether or not this morning's rain at Topeka extended as far south as Emporia, but it is known that the swollen rivers have been rising during the night, and that the situation grew worse instead of better. Trains 5 and 11 were sent out of Topeka last night only after assurances were re ceived from Emporia that they could be sent througn The officials here, we're on duty till far into the night. When 5 and 1 reached Osage City, Superintend ent McDellan was obliged to stop them, because of the condition of the track near Emporia. He thought that he would be able to get them through by 10 o'clock this morning, but the water rose during the night, and up to the present time 1 and 5 are still at Osage City. It is announced this morning that the cut off is now able to handle traffic, the damage there having been repaired. Had it not been for the assurance of Superintendent McLellan that the track on the main line would be open for ser vice this morning, it is probable that No. 5 and 1 would have been hauled back to Topeka, and sent west over the cut off by way of Lawrence and Ot tawa. Trainmen coming in from Emporia state that about a mile of truck this side of Emporia is under water, and that the damage can not yet be esti mated. The track on the Minneapolis and Mc pherson branch is damaged and trains have not been out of Florence over that branch for 24 hours. For six hours Thursday evening the Santa Fe depot here presented in a 'de gree the scene of a union passenger sta tion when the two through passenger trains Nos. 5 and 1 lay here on the sill ing awaiting wrord concerning the wash out situation this side of Reading. Swelled far beyond its banks bv the heavy downpour of Wednesday the head water overrun the tracks south of the Neosho river proper carrying away the ballast and making the track so soft that it was regarded as unsafe for the passage of trains. Early in the evening a work train was started out of Topeka with a quantity of cinders, timbers and material for placing the roadbed in the best possible condition temporarily Superintendent C. T. McDellan, who had been on the scene of the cutoff washout all day, went to the main line breach and the trains were held here awaiting advices from him, until about 9 o'clock. Before that time it had been planned to have them go over the Rook Island from Topeka to Hutchinson and the local officials were ready to make this move when the order showing that the main line was clear came. Then they proceeded after the long delay. The passengers were patient as they could be under the circumstances, loafed under the Sixth street viaduct, lolled about in the cars or wandered around town, per inclination. At the Harvey eating house supper began at 5:30 and continued without intermission until a 1 i Graduating Class of tlie Topeka High. School, "which Keoiived Diplomas Last Kight. quarter to eight, the hungry tourists swarming about the counter taking ev ery available place. There was the uh ual number too who tarried too long in town and were left. One Pullman con ductor reported when No. 1 was ready to depart that he was going to leave be hind twro men passengers, one for New kirk, Ok., the other for Dallas. Tex. One was a fussy old gentleman, he said and no doubt would be much put out because he had gone sight-seeing late fn the evening after waiting around ail afternoon and just in time to get left. "Yes," remarked anothter railroad man as the conductor walked away, "and they ain't the only two that were left either." The Santa FVtmnour.eed at 1:30 this afternoon that the bridge over the Neosho river would be repaired at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and that traffic would again be resumed as usual. Passenger train No. o left Topeka today at 2 o'clock. No.. 1 followed about an hour later; FOB THE -THIRD. TIME." Great English Colt Scepter Cap tures Rich Stakes. London, June 6. At the Epsom sum mer meeting today the race for the oaks stakes of 4.500 sovereigns for 3-year-olJ iiilies. about one mile and a half, was won by R. S. Rievers' bay filly Scepter. Col. H. MeCalmont's chestnut filly G-lass Jug we.s second and Simoon ,-was third. Fourteen horses ran. The betting was 5 to 2 against Scep ter. 10 to 1 against Glass Jug and 25 to 1 against the Simoon filly. Scepter, in April last, won the 2,000 guineas stakes and in May captured the 1.OU0 guineas stakes. The Simoon filly was ridden by Ma iler, the American jockey. London, June 6. Ladies' day at Ep som was marred today by the weather. King Edward, the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family start ed for the course. in a downpour of rain and consequently the roads leading to the downs lacked much of their usual picturesque appearance. A majority or the race-goers preferred to travel- by train, but a good sprinkling of people adhered to the time-honored custom of attending "the Oaks" in -coaches and other conveyances and at intervals be tween showers the enclosures were gay with bright, dresses. By the time the racing commenced the attendance had assumed big proportions and after- the first two races attention was turned to the paddock, where the entries for the Oaks stakes were walking about. Mr. Siever's bay filly -Scepter was soon evi denced as the favorite and the result of the race justified the faith that was placed in her. Sir J. Bl-undell Maple's bay filly" Si mony led to the straight, where Sceptre, which started well, took command ap parently at will, drew to the front-and won easily by- three lengths. A length and a half separated the second and third horses. Ballantrae was fourth. The time was 2:46 3-5. The race was run while the rain was failing. Mr. Sievier and Sceptre received a rare ovation. OUTBURST OF PELEE. Inhabitants of Martinique No Longer Show Alarm. Fort cte France, Island of Martinique. June 6, 10:15 h m. A volcanic outburst from Mont Pelee today resulted in the format 4 on of a heavy cloud, similar to that 01 May 20 lwst, though it was not so dense. No stones fell, and when the cloud had spread over Fort de France, half an hour later, there was no panic. It rs noted at Fort de France that the volcainc outbursts coincide with the changes of the moon. COBURN GETS A LETTER. Transvaal "Expert" Wants to Know About Corn. Secretary Coburn is in receipt of a let ter from D. G. Muldoon, an agricultural expert located at Van Ryn, Transvaal, making some inquiries about corn. A copy of the Sheldon Capital has recent ly falien into Mr. Muldoon's hands, and in that Mr. Sheldon published an article on corn written by Secretary Coburn. Mr.Muldoon states that he was famil iar ''with corn as a crop in Australia, but that it was not a staple crop there and it was planted by hand. He wants to know something about a machine called a lister, and also about the utili zation of corn stalks, which Mr. Coburn referred to in his article. Temperatures of Large Cities.

Strikers at VVilkesbarre Are Considerably Stirred Up By the Shooting of a Boy by Policemen. HELD IN CONTEMPT. Coal Barons' Patrolmen Are Despised by Miners. Trouble Can Be Started on Slight Provocation. New Tork, June 6 The board of trade and transportation today received a telegram from President Roosevelt, ap prising them that he w-ould be glad to receive the committee appointed by the board to ask the president to appoint a comnission to investigate and take steps looking towards tlje settlement of the anthracite coal miners' strike. The telegram, which was signed by George R. Cortelyou, secretary to the president, pointed out that the law em powering the president to act in in stances similar to the anthracite min ers' strike was repealed in 1898. but ad ded that the president would be glad to see the committee if it was decided to visit him. After considering the fact thatthe law had been repealed the committee decided not to visit the president. A SHOOTING AFFRAY. Wiikesbarre, Pa., Tune A shooting affray at the Stanton colliery at South Wiikesbarre last night in which a 13-year-old boy was seriously wounded by coal and iron policemen, has stirred up this community more than any other happening since the strike began. Al though the region is quiet today, there is an ugly feeling among the thousands of idle i ten. The strikers have the ut most contempt for the deputies an- coal and iron police, and4 trouble can be started at the least provocation. The condition of the boy remains critical. The police were fortunate in getting the four men who were accused of doing the shooting, safely away from the col liery. A crowd of several thousand per sons remained in the vicinity for hours after the shooting, not aware that the men had been quietly taken from the place. There was also a throng at the police station at midnight waiting for the prisoners, but the men were hustled into the. station so quickly that the crowd could not get them. This morn ing another coal and iron policeman was arrested for flourishing a revolver in a threatening manner. Sheriff Jacobs of this county had a particularly busy time last night. He was called upon by several companies to protect their property. Men were sent to some localities where trouble was looked for, prepared to read the riot act, but this was not done. The coal operators hereabouts deplore last night's occurrence but they feel that the coal and iron police cannot be held responsible for what may take place. There have been many attempts made at arson,. Hundreds of yards of fencing surrounding collieries have been burned by boys and young men. The coal companies' officials hold the mine workers responsible for all the disturbances. They argue if the strikers w'.sh to keep the peace they should preven; their sons from starting tro.it-ie. The hearing of the accused policemen have been postponed until this afUr noon. A small crowd surrounded the police station all morning. Extra men have been placed on duty there, so that the police many nip any attempt on the part of a mob to get at the prisoners. There was no change today as far as the strike of the engineers, firem-.n and pumpmen is concerned. President Mitchell bad nothing to give out. The sheriff called on President Mit chell today to enlist his aid in prevent ing any further overt acts upon the part of the idle men and boys. Mr. Mitchell assured the sheriff that he would do all in his power to have the men keep the peace, and that the striking miners would be asked to guard company prop erty from destruction. All the local unions at the request of President Mitchell today appointed "guard" committees whose duty it will be during he period of strike to pre vent persons from destroying property and more especially to keep children away from the coliieries. Mr. Mitchell, in speaking of the ap pointment of the committee, said: "It is unsafe for children or any one else to walk along the streets or roads bordering collieries, and for that rea son particularly, we decided to have committees keep persons away from the mines. The irresponsible me:t who have been employed by the companies to do police duty are not to be trusted." SELL THEIR REVOLVERS. Hazleton, Pa., June 6. Som.; of the imported men who left the service of the Lehigh Valley Coal company at Yorktown last ntg-ht are reported by (he strikers today to have disposed of their revolvers for very trivial sums in order to raise money to get back t; Philadel phia. The Yorktown local has requested the women and children of that pla?e not to congregate at the barracks where the imported inea and deputies are station ed. One of the Delaware, Schuylkill .t Susequehanna railroad crews, which has been hauling special officers from one town to another, refused today to do this work. District President Duffy and Sheriff Gombert of Carbon county, will have a a conference at Yorktown today regard ing the withdrawal of the deputies plac ed there by the direction of the sheriff Wednesday night.. Nearly 100 strikers stationed on the public road leadiag to the drift on the colliery of Coxe Bros. Co. stopped the non-union firemen and pumpmen em ployed at that time from going to work today. There was no display of violence on the part of the strikers. CLOSING SMALL WORKINGS. Scranton,'Pa., June 6. Shutting down of the small screens and washe: ies erected at some of -ti e refuse piles of long-abandoned drifts and tunnels is now engaging attention from the coal strikers of the Lackawanna valley. There are perhaps a score of these, working with six to ten men each and their trade is chiefly to farmer. and some small industries. In every section where these exist, the several local un ions thereabouts have oegun their clos ing. Those at Carbondale, Jermyn, Prockville and Taylor, were all reported today as being closed. The Luzerne a small screen in North Scranton was closed yesterday but its owners put on a new force of workmen today and are equipping them w ith guns and told Ihcm to work the place at all hazards. It screens about 100 tons daily, most of which goes to the Scranton Rati way company. The strikers in North Scran ton plan a march on the place this af ternoon and are confident they will close it up. Some persons look for trou ble. District President Nicholls said re ports continue to come from the deser tion of many imported men and th3 sit uation continues most encouraging to the strikers. BECOMING SERIOUS. Harrisburg, Pa., June 6. The situa tion in the Likens Valley region is be coming serious. Sheriff Reiff has de cided to increase his force of deputies. Additional deputies will go to Likens and Wyconisco this afternoon and re main on duty until the trouble is ov.ex. HIS WIFE IS GONE. Win. Tracy Says She Sold $200 Worth of Goods and Left. William Tracy, a Santa Fe shopman, has lost his wife. When Mr. Tracy went to his home in Maple Grove Thursdav afternoon at the close of his day's woik, there was no one there but his two daughters, the oldest of whom is 13 years of age.

Genral Maximo Gomez has published an open letter here in. which he refuses to accept the annual pension of $6,000 provided for him in a resolution which is now before the Cuban house of representatives. General Gomez asks his friends to defeat this resolution, saying it would be unfair -to- him. to accept money so long as the other Cuban soldiers have not been provided for. General Gomez asserts that he has a bill against the government for war services which some day w ill .have to be paid, but that he is willing to wait until such time as Cuba can pay all her soldiers.

The Beacon says: At tire regular meeting of the cham ber of commerce last niKnt held in the council chamber the question of hold ing a fall festival was again discussed and President C. L. Uavidson was in structed to confer with President O. G. 0hn of the Commercial club to ascer tain if that body would join with the chamber of commerce in milling the matter to a successful end. it was the g-erieral sentiment of all present that unless both bodies agreed to give the festival their united support it would be impossible to have a really first-class festival this fall, and they agreed that nothing- but a first-class festival should be attempted. If the Commercial club agTees to aid in the project then President Davidson v. ill at once call a meeting of the cham ber of commerce and a committee will be appointed to visit the business men and ascertain how many of them are interested in holding the festival. A public meeting- will also be caJied which wW Xe. ivVVSS efeC-Vi Vi nt ten J and the matter will be generally diptused. The reason the first attempt to hohi a festival this f;iH was dropped, was because the committees from the clumber of commerce and commercial club were unable to find any one who is willing to take the lead in the mat ter and bear the responsibiiity. This ditlH'ulty has now been overcome and there seems to be no reason why the festival should not be held, but many reasons why it should be. Whatever is done must be done at once, is the gen era! sentiment of all interested. The announcement that I. Bean, P. V. Healy, II. (i. Toler and H. C. Lock wood would take charge of the dif ferent departments and that Mr. Dean would act as president of the festival was very favorably received by those who attending the meeting last niii'ht. The proposition regarding the festival as published in the Beacon yesterday was presented to the chamber by Mr. Ijean last nisht. P. V. Healy is to have charge of the agricultural and horti cultural department, II, C. Ijckwood will take charge of the carnival and street display, I. N. Iean will have the manapement of the livestock display and saie, while H. Toler will manage the racing department. All of these frentlernen have had a great deal of ex perience in fairs and festivals and the citizens of Wichita have confidence in their ability to make the festival a suc cehs. It will cost between $5,000 and $10,000 to make the festival such as those in terested are figuring upon giving. LOST HIS REASON. X.arry Powers, Who Backed Coffey vilie Eall Team, Wanders Away..

His MerJby Colt Vyeth Finished First at Chicago. WAS HEAVILY BACKED. Philadelphia Wants to Play With Chicago. Willing to Enter a Tourney of Five Uaines. Chicago, June 6. John A. Drake, whose willingness to sjjend a smal lfortune to g-et together a powerful racings table, is at tested by the fact that three horses in his cosily collection, namely Von Rouse, Run Rt lls and Wyeth, represent an outlay of $-il.0"0, had the satisfuction of seeing- nis colors finish in front for the first time at a Chicago track, when his Derby hope, Wyeth, led home five other three-year-olds in the seventh-furlong condition race, second on the card. Incidentally Mr. Drake in track parlance won a barrel of mon ey over the result of the race, for, through commissioners, he got very busy as soon as the price about the son of Wadsworth had been hunched from the opening 4 to 5 to even money, and gave nearly every book in the ring- alt it want ed on the colt. It was not an imposing lot that was pitted against Drake's Derby dependence, Marcoa being the most for midable of the quintet, but he did what was expected of him in a way to create the impression that he could have beaten better horses. Wyeth is about the best looking three-year-old that has shown around here this season. In size, conformation and action he looks like a colt of real Derby caliber, and as he may be expected to improve from this, his second race of the season, no surprise need be occasioned if he should prove to be very much of a factor in the big Washington Park event- Just how much Dr. Drake took out of the ring over the victory of his colt is not known, but it was the talk after the day's operations that Steve 1 Hommedieu alone got $la,0o) of the Drake commission, and laid even money for moat of it. packers of favor ites again had a rocky time of it, for aside from Vyeth the only top choice to make good was CaytaVw S. S. Brown's Stuyve, and he was at a price which kept a very greHt majority of the crowd from profiting through his victory in the handicap. O'HAGEST WITH THE GIANTS.

Horace' Fogel, who is making several kinds of efforts to give New York a winning combination, must be a bit sour on his own judgment in having released Thielman, who has been pitching win ning ball since the Reds picked him up. Where for years the Sabbath game has been allowed the authorities stepped in on Sunday and called the game between Rochester and Montreal, of the Eastern league. The place is Charlotte, just above Rochester, on the Canadian side of the line. After spending several thousand dollars in fitting up-grounds for Sunday baseball the Cleveland management has decided to give up the right for Sunday games, and will plav those scheduled at Dayton and Canton, excursion trains taking the fans to the grounds. Manager Mack is tne object of the high est encomiu:ns for his fair deal on Mem orial day. W lien all seats were sold he had the "S. R.

There isn't any monkey business in the National Association of Minor leagues, and it is certainly making good all its promises, one of which was to force play ers to stick to first agreements. Con nors, who was covering first for the Jer sey City team of the Eastern league, has been compelled to return to the Spring field, Conn., league team, whose contract, it was shown, he signed before that of Jersey City.

It comprises complete rules for the ac counting of freight receipts, and for the handling of freight. Some of the rules are for the assistance of conductors of freight trains. This is the third time that the Santo. Fe has issued a code cf instructions for freight agents. The nr.-u book was is sued in ls&O, and was prepared by Mr. Healy, while he still held a subordinate position in the freight department. On the title page, however, the credit tor the authorship is given to J. W. Rine hart, at that time one of the vice presi dents of the Santa Fe road. Tlie next edition of the code was m iS'.'i. when C. S. Sutton was auditor of freight receipts at Topeka. Mr. Healy also did the work of preparing this book for publication. The new code of rules is therefore the third which has beti prepaid by Mr. Healv for the Santa Fe rail way. In form il will be similar to iV lwi book, and will comprise com pi rhensive index of 18 page, enabling the freight agents to find quickly the regulation on any de sired point of yroe-'dure. In speaking of the book Mr. Healy said: 'There are no very important changes in th rules, but it is ne. -essary to have the book revised every few years to keep trie agents postoa on the various changes which occur. A copy of this book will be sent to every freight agent on the system. A bowk of rules is also to be Issued by A. L Conrad, auditor of the Southern Kansas railway of Texas and George B. Gallon of the Gulf. Beaumont ie Kansas City for the use of freight agents in Texas." Under the laws of Texas all such books of instruction must be issued by the state otlieers of the various lines, and nut by the officials of the general system. This is one of the "freak" rail road laws of the Lone Star state. It is interesting to note that since the last book of instructions was issued in there has been a complete change in the frefghi accounting oHicials of the Santa Fe system. W. J. Healy has suc ceeded O. S. Sutton as auditor of freight l-eceipts; A. S. Jennings has succeeded W. V. Pope as auditor of the O. C. S. F. J. W. White has succeeded C. K. Crary as auditor of the Santa Fe Pa cific: A. L. Conrad as auditor of the Southern Kansas in place of J. N. Free man, and Geerge H. Gallon has a newly treated place on the Gulf. Beaumont Sc Kansas City. H. C. Whitehead, the general auditor of the Santa Fe system, is the only old official still on 'e list. The new freight code does not become the property of the agent to whom it is sent. It must be rereipted for an 1 turned over v ith the i fiice in case of change. This is the way in which the code book of the operating department of the road is managed. MEXICO NOW LEADS. Has More Miles of Railroad Than Any Spanish American Country. Austin. Texas, June 6. An official statement has just btjen issued by the Mexican government showing that on May 1 of the present year that country had 15,125 kilometers of completed rail road, which Is equal to about 9.075 miles. In addition to this completed mileage there are about 4.000 kilometers of road under construction which will be completed within the next three years. Many new lines of railway are projected in addition to the assured new mileage, and of which no estimate is made. Mexico now exceeds all other Fpanlsh-American countries in the num ber of miles of railway. Brazil was slightly in the lead a year ago, but she is now distanced by Mexico, and in an other year will be fa behind WHAT RAILROADS DID. Hauled 22,000 Settlers to California During the Winter.

Queer freight is coming through Albu querque just now with considerable regularity, says the Albuquerque Journal-Democrat. On Saturday the local yard men had the pleasure of handling a carload of seals, captured on the Pa cific coast and consigned to museums in Europe. Yesterday they received a car load of ostriches from the world famous ostrich farm near Los Angeles. The bis birds were in fine condition and are all young ones. They will be placed in several zoological gardens in the east ern cities. Another Sugar Beet Book. A new sugar beet book has been is sued by the Arkansas Valley Sugar Meet company in Colorado, and is being circulated by the Santa Fe railway, which covers the Arkansas Valley irri gated land district. The new books give testimonials from 75 'men who are successfully farming in the valley. They raise sugar beets as a staple, but also tell of their success with other crops. The book will be of interest to those who are contemplating the pur chase of land in the Arkansas valley. One and a Third Rate. Tlie railroads in the Westtrn Passen ger association have granted a rate of one and a third fares for the round trip ror me commencement exercises of the State Agricultural college at Manhat tan. June 12-1S. with a return limit of June 23, from all stations in Kansas and Kansas City and St. Joseph. The tick ets will be sold on the certificate plan. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. W. S. Grandv. master mechanic at New ton, was in town Thursday. William T. Porter has been assigned to duty in the boiler hup as a helper.

John Crawford went to work in the boiler shop Thursday after being off the pay rods several months. Kngine No. 22(2. one of the small yard class, has been sold to C. il. Sharp, a contractor of Shawnee, Ok. T. B. Thorpe, traveling passenger agent f'r the Pennsylvania lines out of Kansas City, visited this territory Thursday. John Jacobs, who quit a iob heating in the blacksmith shop, to take similar place with the 'Frisco at Springfield. -Mo., returned to work here Wednesday night. F. X. Risteen. mechanical suorrinten dent of the eastern grand division, is home from a trip over the east end o the line. William Stanfield of the water service came in Thursday. He was out several days on account of the death of Mrs. F. J. Withrow. Engine No. 68 has gone out for its reg ular run on local trains lis and 114 after being held in the shops a few days for light repairs. H. T. Hrrr. dwision master mechanic at Fort Madison. Ia.. has returned to that place after being here a few days on com pany matters. Mrs. David McNair, mother of Boiler maker Alexander McNair, is recovering from an illness which a week ago was considered serious. Arthur Weeks, a wheel shop employe, has been obliged to remain at home for the last day or two because of the seri ous illness of his wife. William Manley, day engine inspector, has been off two or three days, reported sick. George Furman. his assistant, has been carrying the work. M. McAndrew. formerly an employe of the Santa Fe and ojily about ten days ago married, has returned with his wife from Chicago, where he went shortly after the wedding. W. E. Ogston, who has charge of the refrigerator cars of the Santa Fe, was among the delayed passengers on Thurs day's No. 1. His destination was Pasa dena. Cal. Boilermaker Andrew Nelson went off duty Thursday afternoon with a bit of stct-1 in one eye. It was removed by the hospital doctors, and it is believed no per manent ill effects will resuit. Notices have ben posted conspicuously around the bulletin boards notifying the men that the new book of regulations will

Fred Swanson, for about a year clerk in the car sheds office, left today for the Needles, Cal., where he will assume a clerkship with the division master me chanic of the Santa Fe Pacific. It fcas been announced that the machin- ists will play a game of baseball with the j Oakland Blues at the grounds of the last named Saturday afternoon. Players of both teams should take notice. Edward Moore, a blacksmith helper, had his left hand so badiy jarred while work ing with a pair of tongs Thursday that he had to knock off work. He does not count on getting back before Monday. Georg-e Blumenstock, a sheds workman, dropped a truss rod on one of his hands Wednesday evening and had to go home. The member was so severely bruised that it was badiy swollen before he left the chops. Workmen were busy Thursday boarding up the roof of the railroad Y. M. C. A., which was damaged by fire more than a month ago. This was undertaken In order that the association mighty not be com pelled to abandon entirely the structure as a result of the recent rains. H. S. Grout, for thre years a Topeka shopman, but recently with the company at Albuquerque, N. M., will address the men's meeting at the Railroad Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. iirout has been visiting some days with his old friends in this city. Harold Lawless, who began his ma chinist apprenticeship in these shops a few weeks ago, and who has spent most of the time among the tool room work ers, has been given a change of location and will now be found outside of that department, in the machine shop proper. Mrs. A. Mitchell has arrived from Cha nute to spend a. short time as the guest of her sons, Waletr A., foreman of a gang of machinists, and William, who works in that department at night. She is the wife of the Santa Fe division mas ter mechanic at Chanute. There is no deficiency of din attending the sale of unclaimed freight which has been in -progress at the north freight house of the Santa Fe here. The auctions are be iup: well and noisily patronized, although it will require until the end of the week to dispose of all the stuff that has accumu lated in a year. There were 15 car loads of miscellaneous articles at the beginning. I. Ramsey, son of W. E. Ramsey, of the blacksmith shop, has resigrned his po sition with the Santa Fe trainmaster at Katon. X. M., where he has held a clerk ship for six years and has come to Topeka to take a place of stenographer with Gen eral Superintendent Cable of the Rock Island. f Frank Ivehoe of the south shop was unanimously elected director of the K. of P. band at a late meeting, to succeed Frank Wilcox resigned. K--hoe received his musical training in the schools of jJub lin, Ireland, and plays readily almost any instrument in sight. He was until a few. months ago leader of the band at the asy-" lum. i This is not the only locality that has been suffering from washouts along the i streams. A .shopman who came up from Cleburne. Tex., the other day, says that 'along the Canadian river in the Indian Territory nearly all the wagon and rail road bridges had gone out, the one used by the Santa Fe at Pureed being the only one standing. Furnace No. 1 in the new blacksmith shop was fired up with oil for the first time Thursday afternoon, and aside from some minor irregularities its work was satisfactory. The supply of liquid fuel comes from a large .storage reservoir lo cated near the northeast corner of the building. Repairs on the hammer have been about completed. F. W. Thomas, engineer of tests, and TP. R. Frost, electrical engineer, planned to leave today for Albuquerque, N. M., to make an inspection of the electrical plant in the new shops there before it is finally turned over to the company. It was put in operation some weeks ngo, but its acceptance by the Santa Fe is conditional upon its suceessf ill perform ance for a short time. Harry Howards has rejoined the wiping brigade after a few days' guarding an en gine used on one of the weed burners at Alma. Orass and weeds along the lines are reported as being exceptionally rank this season, but the burner Is doing ex cellent work. It usually is taken over the ground twice, the tirst time going slowly and the second time doing the Una! turn more hastily. "Matter" will be the subject with which Dr. il. L.. Alkire will open the course of practical lectures for railroad men which Irwin lodge No. 2m. A. O. U. W.. is to give during the summer. Dr. Alkire will give the second a little later, then others will follow on topics practical in their application to duties of nearly every man in Topeka shops. They should be well supported. Roger P. Van Hook, who formerly was stenographer to Division Superintendent C. T. MeLellan, departed Thursday for Pueb lo. Co., to accept a position similar to the one which he held here until recently un der R. J, Parker, superintendent of the western division. Zvfr. Van Hook, previous to his term of service with the Santa F. worked in the freight office of the Rock Island at this ilace. John E. Burge, private secretary to C. T. Mclvellan, superintendent of the east ern division, was scheduled to leave this morning for Pueblo, Col., where Sunday noon he will wed Miss Eula May Essex of that city. Mr. Burge has been in the Santa Fe offices here for some time and was formerly with the company at Pueblo. It is nofdelinite when he will return to Topeka, but when he does it will be to reside at 4liS Topeka avenue. James Sheets, a millwright in the water service, who removed here from Albuquer que, N. M., recently after an absence of several years, is down with a severe at tack of his old trouble, asthma. Sheets went west from here, thinking that he might be permanently relieved from this ailment, and when he came back to To peka a few weeks ago he was apparently cured, but developments of the last few days have shown that he was mistaken. Several Santa Fe employes left Thurs day evening for Fort Madison. Ia., to work on the improvements of the com pany hosnital at that place. Dr. John P. Raster, chief surgeon, joined the Topeka party at Kansas City. Those starting from here were: Thomas Parkinson, To peka hospital electrician R. A. Sanborn and "Paddy" Early, painters; R. Sheafor, r

The painters will wo?k inside the building there and the masons will put in concrete around the walls of the artificial lake on the grounds. At the recent semi-annual election of officers for Irwin lodge No. 260, A. O. XJ. W., the result was as follows: F. R. Mc Neill, past master workman; George Hod son, master workman; Edwin DeCamp, foreman; George Ktzei, overseer; J. W. Gibbons, recorder; E. E. Lair, financier; H. A. Willis, receiver; Dugald McCall, guide; A. A. Ridings, inside watch; A. J. Roberts, outside watch; Charles Strick rott, trustee; Drs. H. L. Alkire, W. B. Swan and H. H Keith, medical examin ers. The organization is composed al most entirely of shopmen and is in a thrifty condition. Railroads are fixing for a movement of cattle from pastures to market, lasting a week or a little more, after June 15. That is the time the first of the beeves which have grown fat on the fresh grass of the early summer months are ready for ship ment and conditions favor a heavier run this season than Usual. Frequent rains for several weeks have made Kansas luxuri ant in vegetation and cattle everywhere which a short time ago were barely able to stagger out of the cars for lack of nour ishment, will soon go to the butchers as grass fed.- John Mespelt'a tank gang of about a dozen men from thv boiler shops took their leave of Topeka Thursday and left for Pueblo, where they will put up a steel reservoir similar to that at this point, except that it will be only 40 feet high. The apparatus with which the men work was sent out several days ago and they have been only waiting until its arrival before starting. There are a number of other tanks which will be built on that part of the system this summer, and it also has been planned to construct several on the Chicago exten sion. A. T. Parfitt, foreman of the boiler shop, has put in operation a small forge for heating rivets in his department, oil being the fuel used instead of coke and coal, as has been the case heretofore. The furnace itself is a compact affair, con nected with a &-galIon tank, from which a quantity of oil and compressed air may be kept flowing constantly, being regu lated by means of a valve. In this way the heat of the flame is controlled. Al though it is onlj about one-half as large as the one burning coal and coke, it does more work and in every way is a suc cess. It is probable that three or four more may be put in use here soon, George D. McDill. international secre tary for the Railroad Y. M. C. A., came down from Omaha. Neb., again Thursday and is lending his assistance to the cam paign for a new home for the Topeka as sociation. It seems altogether probable that the suggestion regarding the site of the building as given by the board of di rectors of the institution on Wednesday night will prove acceptable to General Manager Mudge of the Santa Fe and the further plans for its immediate erection will be pushed. An executive committee from that budy was instructed to proceed with specifications whih will shortly be presented to the road officials and the talk leads one to believe that by January 1 the association will be occupying its new quarters. Santa Fe mechanics are continually making Improvements upon the machin ery with which they work. P, H. Dono van, foreman of the air brake repair ers, and W. H. Conroy, who has charge of the machine shop tool room, have lately devised a mechanism for drilling, tapping and counter-boring the piston heads of air pumps. Heretofore the cus tom has been to drill a hole through the head to be fastened to the piston, then counter-baring it first on one side and then the other, and finally to run the thread on the inside. By 'means of the invention herein mentioned the work is done on a drill press with a small tool. Its merits are the rapidity with which the jobs can be turned out, the new way requiring about oidy one-third the time of the old; further, by means of the tool, the time and attention of a man thor oughly skilled in the work is not required as formerly. aU these things mean a saving to the company, and for them the originators of such improvements should receive proper recognition. After several days of sharp rivalry the question regarding which shop baseball nines should play at Forest park, Atchison, picnic day, has been decided and the ma chinists and boilermakers are the ones which will cross sticks on that occasion. The stake to he put up will probably be $15, and in addition to that there is a forfeiture sum of $o on each side. The ex act line up of the hoys has not yet been decided, but the names of those submitted to the committee of three having the mat ter in charge, follow; Machinists Charles Johnson, George Sheets, Chal Wallace, Richard Steihorn. C. W. Halter man, Earl Petrie. Frank Harris. William Fry, Harrv Henry. Charles Gerherick. Thomas Smith and Frank Burdett. Boiler makers H. Henry. Fred Austin, James McKiernan, John Butler, J. Smith. Wil liam Stanrield, George Real, H. Porter, Ben Dust in and Paul PyetzkL Frank Ksu hoe of the south shop has been named as the umnire and it is a part of the stipula tions that unless each team be on the ground and ready to play ball by 10:30 a. fn.. the team failing to do so will lose its forfeit sum of $5 now deposited with the committee. Children Like It. "My little boy took the croup one night," says F. D. Reynolds of Mansfield, C, "and grew so bad you could hear him breathe all over the house.

Asks Co-operation to Eradicate the Evil. TELLS OF HER WORK. How the Consumers' League is Made Effective. An Interesting Programme is Given For the Federation. Mrs. Florence Kelly's address on the work of the National Consumers' league was the feature of greatest interest at the June meeting of the city federation of women's clubs at Unity church Thursday afternoon. Mrs. K.elly is the corresponding sec retary of the league, with headquarters in New York. She is returning to New York from Los Angeies wnere she at tended the biennial of the General Fed eration of Women's clubs and where she was chairman of several industrial committees. Mrs. Kelly is devoting her life to the cause of the industrial classes, a work for fhieh she has had unusual preparation in eight years at the Hull liouse settlement in Chicago and in the four years during which she was fac tory inspector of Illinois. The latter po-. sition gave her unlimited opportunities to study the conditions of the laboring classes and to become thoroughly ac quainted with the horrors of the sweat shop system to the abolition of which the National Consumers' league is devo ted. Mrs. Kelly's subject is necessarily a painful one, but to all who have given it any attention it was apparent that she made as little harrowing as was consistent with her wish to stir her lis teners to an abiding interest in the cause she represents. I have in ray suit case," said Mrs. Kelly in beginning "a letter from a woman engaged in the making of fine linen shirts in New York. She is employed -by Caskell Caskell who manufacture the highest grade of men's linen shirts and her work is that of making button holes in the bosoms. By working, every minute of ten hours a day she is able to earn $6 a week and in the busy season, by taking home work at night can run her earnings up as high as $10 a week. But the work has made her almost totally blind. In six months more the oculists tell her if she continues at this steady and trying work she will be unable to see not only the buttonholes but the shirt upon which she is working. Her case is a pe culiarly unfortunate one. She was left on orphan in 'her babyhood and was brought up in one of the great public charitable institutions which New York sustains at enormous expense for the care of destitute children and turned out of this refuge at the age of- IS with only one slender means of support: she could make the finest buttonholes in the bosoms of men's linen shirts known to the trade. She is very illiterate as her letter to me will prove and other wise entirely incompetent," Mrs. Kelly's story was in illustration of the fact that, although- it is 60 years since Xnomas Hood wrote his heart moving appeal, "The Song of the Shirt." j which was recited by Mrs. A. W. Dana just before Mrs. Kelly was introduced, almost nothing has been done to amelio rate the conditions that stirred the poet's pity so many years ago. Mrs. Kely said this was not becausue people were hard hearted, but be cause there had been until recently no effective means of helping to correct the sweat shop and attendant evils. This the National Consumers' league has un dertaken. The league is in no sense a boycott, Mrs. Kelly explained. It makes no attempt to persuade people not to j buy the products of the manufactories which are not managed under humane conditions, but it does seek to aid the righteous manufacturer. She showed the label of the league which is attached to all goods manufactured under the con- ditions which the league demands, and I urged the practical assistance of the j women in the matter of patronizing the I righteous manufacturer. The league makes no demands of the manufacturer regarding wages or hours, and its im mediate aim is to extend among a!l mercantile establishments the commend able conditions now existing in the best. The label of the league is simply a guarantee that the goods to which it is attached were made in factories in which the state factory law has been obeyed, where overtime is not worked, i buy Clothing, Shoes and can buy them any where the Suits. -S3. 75 Suits. .4.75 G5.75 and $8 in Topeka we will sell for Pants worth S1.50 and $2 for The best 50a and 75o Overalls, Striped or Blue, for Our guaranteed $2 Shoe at this sale 87.50 ,..50o .39c 50c 25c 79c Ave. We Advertise. Be Sure where children under 16 are not em ployed and where no goods are given out to be made up in homes. The object of the league is to protect the laborers and the consumers the former from the hard conditions under which they strug gle and the consumers from the danger of .disease and contagion which attach to the products of the sweat shop and the tenement house. More than anything else,, said Mrs. Kelly, the league needs numbers. The Topeka federation could help by appointing a standing committee to confer with a committee from the National league and by organizing leagues throughout the state. The west, she said, had been indifferent to the child labor and sweat shop evil because in the west there are no sweat shops and no child laborers, "but the west," she added, "is clothed entirely with the pro duct of the sweat shop, and I doubt if there is. a woman here today who is not wearing something which little children have helped to make." Men, Mrs. Kelly said, were far ahead of women in the encouragement of favorable conditions for workers in factories. It had been a great humiliation to her in her work to learn that not the cheapest but often the best and highest-priced products were made under the most wretchedly un sanitary conditions. "The working men who for years have refused to buy any thing that did not bear the union label have made the conditions in the factories where the cheapest cigars and tobacco, the meanest beer, the coarsest clothing, are produced the best and most com mendable in the country." The trouble, Mrs. Kelly said, is not to persuade retailers to furnish the things which- bear the label of the National Consumers' League for their customers but to persuade the consumers to take interest enough in the matter to buy them. Following Mrs. Kelly's talk a motion by Mrs. Eugene Ware was made and carried to endorse the work of the league and refer the matter to the civic committee of the federation.

At last Topeka has landed a guberna torial nomination. The Prohibitionists showed good judgment in choosing- a town from which to take a candidate. Washington Post: The people are tired of the vaporings of the politicians who swathe Mreir schemes in the folds cf the Hag. The flag-wrappers are back numbers. Omaha Bee: The most expensive au tograph collection known to history has just been gathered by John Bull in the signatures appended to the document containing the peace terms agreed on with the Boers. A Hepubiican congressional convention in Wisconsin declares that they "favor a revision of the tariff without unrea sonable delay which will place upon the free list every article and product con trolled by any monopoly, and such ar ticles and products as are beyond the need of protection." Nobody has yet raised the cry of heresy. REDUCTION OF THE ARMY. The order of the secretary of war, by which a reduction of nearly 11,000 men is made in the stiength of the army. cuts down the army from its present strength of 77,i:S7 men to 60,497. The re duction is to affect all three arms of the service, but will apply less to the artillery than to the infantry and the cavah-y. In the last named arm, the number of enlisted men in a troop will be reduced from So to 75. the total re duction thus being l.SOO men. In the Infantry, the total strength, will be re duced from 35.520 to 29,8S0, a diminu tion of 5.640 men, by cutting down the enlisted strength of each company from 104 to HO men. The garrison or coast artillery will not be affected by the new order; but the strength of the field artillery will be reduced by mak ing the number of enlisted men In a, battery 120 instead of 160. Only two batteries will not be reduced; they are the siege batteries, which will retain their present quota of 160 men each. The battalions of engineers will not be reduced. The present strength of the army in the Philippines is about 31.700 men. The charges made by the order will reduce it to about 25,000 men. or rather more than one-third of the entire army. Regi ments row there are to be brought home shortly, however, so that the strength in the islands may be placed at about one-third of the forces. In December, MOO, while the volunteer regiments were serving in the islands, our forces there reached the maximum, about 75.300 men. This action of the war department is encouraging to the lovers of peace, carrying' with it as it does an implied assurance that condi tions in the Philippines have improved sufficiently to warrant the reduction. Perhaps it would be as well if there were some way to reduce the number of ofiicers also, from a pecuniary consideration. GLOBS SIGHTS. For Saturday V Another fortunate purchase o.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Man subsists upon other animals in cluding other men. One animated statute is better than a dozen dead-letter laws. Occasionally a wise man loses his head, but a fool never finds it. It matters not if the world ia round, just so you are on the square. Relations between the milkman and the hydrant are frequently strained. As a. rule when you see a good man you see one w ho is as ugly as a mud fence. He is a truly great man who achieves greatness without making a noise while doing it. Theory and practice are somewhat different as young lawyers and physi cians can tell vou. If every man kept his word the dic tionary compilers would soon have to go out of business. From the Atchison Globe If you could have your way, what a lot of changes you would make! We all do a great deal of grumbling and there is usually something back of it. The shorter a woman wears her rainy day skirt, the higher she wears her collar. Don't blame the boys and girls for being foolish about their love affairs, you were. If you want to be entertaining, cut out all talk about your future, and dig up your past. "I wouldn't mind dyspepsia so much if I didn't like gooseberry pie so well." Drake Wutson. An Atchison man who hasn't done a thing all winter, leaves next week for his summer vacation. We don't see any use in making one i( cm a den. and setting it apart for a man. considering that he continues to growl ail over the house. Should a man tell his wife everything he knows? .Most men do it. But is it pi "per, when you consider that wives always tell other women? Hvcry woman who is a victim of the afternoon party habit is also a victim of the sick headache habit. Cake and salads, and sick headache, are cousins. At some time in every one's life things nme his way. A fashion note of inter est to Etraight-haired girls is that AT MIGHTY-' LOW .-PRICES! if m b III Men s Suits FUEMSfll Each One a Favorite. J I ""'V aUAKEB REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Ping pong wrist is the latest fashion able ailment. A peppery temper Is not a thing to be sneezed at. Some people are too truthful to really enjoy fishing. A negative answer may be given In a nositive manner. Most of us believe in eternal punish ment for our enemies. Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but so do presents. Some people would rather chew the rag than swallow their pride. Wigg "lsirt an automobile rather dangerous?" Wagg "Not if you are ia it." Cheerfulness must be cultivated, but the seeds of discontent will grow in any soil. Hoax "He's oding a corking busi ness." Joax "Who is?" Hoax "The bottler." The nearest approach to perpetual motion is wnen one good turn deserves another. A man never knows what a large fol lowing he has until he leads the pro cession in a hearse. The philosophical tramp rises to re mark that a dog in the manger is worth two in the front yard. When the wefldme bells ring, its a case of two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat like sixty. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR, From the New York Press. The man who tries to cheat death pays twice over. A young fool has a chance to outgrow it; the old one doesn t. "Widows like men young and innocent; widowers like the old and tough. Nowadays fathers pride themselves on being a block of the young chip. Just what the public's responsibility for gambling is depends on whether you w in. or lose. it takes a man who has just come out of the woods to see the beauty every woman he meets. The right kind of wife sets out to save all the money her husband squan dered on her when they were engaged. Maybe girls are atraid that it tney don't wear open-work stockings thev won t get any mosquito bites to talk about. Women can easily believe that there never was an Adam or Eve since they have been taught to believe that Eve did not wear clothes. The dav a man cots back from his wedding trip he feels the same relief as the man caught in the stock market panic when the exchange closes. !)M m i mil!'! k IIU U.IUAaiJb kPMi UUU iLJL We say to you, see these before you buy a suit. efr.u...F,a."?.slu!,..S3.75 to SI 0.00 a Suit.

There is a very well authenticated rumor in hanta re circles that Third Vice President J. W. Kendrick has re signed his present position with the com pany, and that General Manager H. U. Mudge of Topeka is slated to succeed him as liead of the operating depart ment. Mr. Kendrick has been offered the po sition of European representative of the V estinghouse Air Brake company with headquarters at London at a salary of du,UUu a year. '1 he VVestinghouse com pany has just completed an enormous new manufacturing plant in Englana, and is preparing to invade the European markets. Mr. Kendrick is now in Europe, having gone over there early in May. There is another rumor that Mr. Ken drick will be succeeded by W. S. Pierce, until recently general manager of the Northern Pacific, and now at the head of a car wheel manufacturing establish ment in Chicago. Assistant General Manager I. E. Cain went to Chicago yesterday, and there is a rumor that he was called there with regard to taking the position of general manager in case Mr. Mudge goes in for third .vice president. There are other ru mors, however, concerning a possible successor to Mr. Mudge. Some believe it will be J. E. Hurley, superintendent of the western grand division of Santa Fe main lines. Others are of the opin ion that C. F. Resseguie, superintendent of the eastern grand division, will get the place. Some of the officials at the Santa Fe ifications for such a position will be Kendrick has resigned. They say that there is nothing but rumor to warrant the opinion, and that Mr. Hendrick i3 not fitted by training to hold a posi tion with the AVestinghouse company. It seems likely, however, that the qual incflations for such a position will be largely, if not entirely, executive and not technical. Mr. Mudge is at present out of the city on a fishing expedition in New Mexico. It is well known in railroad circles that at the time J. W. Kendrick was chosen for third vice president, there was a large element of the directors who were in favor of choosing Mr. Mudge for the place. The majority, however, wanted a man brought in from outside of the road, for the purpose of introduc ing new ideas. For that reason the di rectors went to the Northern Pacific corps and employed Mr. Kendrick. Some think that now the directors will be likely to recognize Mr. Mudge's claims to the position. Others beiieve that another outsider will be chosen, in which case W. S. Pierce of the North ern Pacific is looked upon as a possible candidate. tucket in connection with the street car strike was apparent today. Fully as many cars were sent out as on yesterday, but they were not molested. The company was prepared today to operate more than half of its full capacity. The strikers, however, maintaiu that 70O men are out. The trac tion company declare they have nearly &0U out of 1,200 men needed. A large num ber of deputy sheriffs were sworn in today and all the police in this city are on re serve call. ON ITS MERITS- That is the Way Mr. Hanna Would Discuss Canal Bill. Washington, D. C, June 2. At 2 o'colck consideration of the Nicaraguun canal biU was resumtd In the senate after a call of the senate at which 45 senators re sponded. Mr. Hanna continued his speech begun yesterday. He referred to some comments made yesterday by Mr. Mitchell (Ore.) in which the Oreg-on senator had spoken of the advantages of the Nicar agua n route while the "Hanna commis sion" had only reported hi favor of the Nicaragua route. Air. Hanna said he took exception to the insinuation that this was Haima's commis sion. "I consider." he said, "that I am here to do my duty to my country and when I am placed on an important committee charged with an important duty I am determined to discharge that duty faithfully and conscientiously." He presented an earnest and vigorous de fense of the Isthmian canal commission appointed by McKinley and said that he sought to discuss the pendin" question upon a higher plane than mere personali ties. He declared that there were no poli tics in the problem and was certain there were no personalities in it. Cole. Nels Demar had his ekull frac tured. He Is 70 years f agre. J. J. Cote, Dernars and H. H. Rose left for Hose's ranch apparently good friends. Rose returned alone, saying that his friends had met with foul play on the beach. Four men went out with him and found Cole dead. Rose was arrested. DICKENS'S OPIUM DEN. IN GOOD SHAPE. Financial Situation in England is En couraging. London, June 6. Proir to the second reading of the loan bill in the house of lords today. Lord Goscnen, Liberal, and a formtir chancellor jf the exchequer, an nounced that he desired to say a few words on the financial position of the country. Consols, which weer now paying paying only 2Vg per cent, stod at P7. Be fore the conversion of 1&8 3 per cent con sols stood at 101. If they had beeen con verted then they would have been worth only S2, so that the stock was really 15 points higher. After a costly war and the borrowing of 59.tXA0oO pounds, the country might well congratulate itself on a situation which showed such economic stamina. The premier, Lord Salisbury, said such words, coming from such a high author ity, were gratifying and would be widely read. ROOSEVELT WILL SIGN. Public Building Bill is Ap proved by the Cabinet.

Ky., where he went to defend Thomas Cockrell, charged with murdering Ben Hargis, several months ago. Johns says the court and bar of Jackson are in terror over throats on both sides of the Cockrell and Harris factions, that Judge Redwine refused to act on the application of a change of venue because of fear of his own life and the lives of others. Two other at torneys were elected to preside as spec ial judge, but each refused to act for fear of his life. Governor Beckham has been appealed to and has the matter under advisement. Johns says the coun try is bordering on revolution. Bank Fined $5,000. New York. June 6. At a meeting of the Clearing House association todav the Central National bank was fined So. uo0 for violating the rules of the association gov erning collections on out-of-town checks. President Langdon of the Central Nation al made a statement, the substance of which was that if the bank was guilty of the charge made it had erred unwittingly. 700 Men Are Out. Providence. R, I.. June 6. No traces of last night's disorder in this city and Paw- Washington, June 6. At the cabinet meeting today the public buildings bill was discussed fully and it was decided that it should be signed. The cabinet also went at length into certain mat ters connected with Cuban reciprocity measures but no decision was reached. Inasmuch as it appeared that Judge Taft had presented the instructions of the secretary of war to Cardinal Ram polla. Secretary Root will send these in structions to the Philippine commis sion. After a conference with the members of his cabinet President Roosevelt de cided that there is no legal ground for interference by him in the settlement, of the dispute between the coal opera tors and the striking miners. The res olutions of the New Tork Board of Trade and Transportation requesting the president to visit the anthracite re gions and investigate the situation was discussed at great length. but as the law of 1S92. which conferred authority upon the president to appoint such an officer has been repealed, the president has no desire to assume the responsibil ity which the New York Board of Trade suggested. James Piatt, Jr., in Notes and Queries.! Except a short note of my own, which appeared in the Globe, March 25, 1S95. there is, I think, no account in existence of the subsequent fortunes of the opium den so graphically described by Dickens in "Edwin Urood." A few additional details may therefore be considered not inappropriate to these more permanent columns, especially as the "den was pulled down some years ago to make room for a board school playground, so that no one will ever see it again. It was situated in New Court, Victoria street. I visited it many times and was personally well known to the couple who kept it. It was worth going to. if only to see a Chinaman and an English woman so sincerely attached to one an other. They might without impropriety- be called Uarby ana Joan. I once took a. lady artist to see this interesting pair. She was delighted with them, and they with her. The China man even went the length of allowing her to sketch him In the act of smok ing. Those who know the dread this people have of anything that suggests publicity will appreciate this concession at its full value. The lady never re visited them, but they often spoke of her and always wished to be kindly remem bered to her when they saw me. An other former visitor whom there were never tired of recalling was no less a person than our present king. Upon his departure It appears that his royal high ness (as he then was) gave the old man a sovereign. He had never for gotten that coin, although in the lapse of time it had required something of a mythological halo. Johnson, for so we always called him, was an epicure, eat ing very little, but requiring that little to be of the best. He was a literary man, of course from the Chinsese point of view, and had quite a small library of Chinese books- One -of the works on his shelves ran to as many as 20 vol umes, and was an historical compila tion bearing the mellifluous name "San Kwo Che." He had a taste for art, and displayed conspicuously upon his wall for 20 years an amateur effort (the work of a Chinese sailor), being, curiously enough, the picture of an English church. It is now in the possession of a friend of mine. It was sold, with other effects, upon his eviction from his old quarters, including his scales for weigh ing opium, his opium lamp, his gambling cards and dominos, two photographs, etc. A fatality seemed to pursue him, for not long had he moved to another den in Angel Gardens before that also was condemned. In fact, he never settled down again, but wandered from lodging to lodging., The poor old man's opium pipe was as admirable an example of Oriental in genuity as I have ever seen or heard of. Unable to afford a real pipe he manufactured a "scratch" one out of an old flageolet and a doorknob. He drill ed a small hole in the top of the door knob, and affixed it by the way of the bowl to the flageolet (its holes stopped up), which served for a stem. The re sult was a most capable and workman like pipe. This is not the veritable flageolet pipe alluded to in the "Diction ary of London." while the doorknob which served for its bowl is undoubt edly what Mr. J. T. Fields mistook for an ink bottle. The passage is in his "In and Out of Doors With Dickens."'' p. 106. "In a miserable court, at night," Mr. Fields tells us, "we found a hag gard old woman blowing 'at a kind of pipe made of an old ink bottie, and the words that Dickens put into the mouth of this wretched creature in 'Edwin Drood' we heard her croon as we leaned over the tattered bed on which she was lying." TOPEKA BUSINESS COLLEGE W AM EGO Washburn Athletic Park 3:39 p. m. Saturday, June 7th Admission 25c GRAND STAND FREE VALUE OF SLEEP. From the Commercial "West. One great secret of Napoleon's power was his ability to sleep. If he had but an hour for sleep he slept an hour, even though the fate of an army or of an em pire hung in the balance while he slept. General Grant was another great example of this ability to lay aside work at quit ting time. Even in the Wilderness cam paign, when the responsibility of the movements of the nation's armies, stretched out in battle line a thousand miles long, lay on his shoulders; when his good-night commands involved all-night marching and righting of his army of the Potomac, and his waking orders might mean victory or defeat, the killing or the saving of a thousand men under it all he lay down and dropped to sound sleep as quickly as you or 1 when we read our selves sleepy over an old story book. Grant had what a great writer has called a "frictionless mind." He saved for the wear of work what others throw away on the tear of worry. Here is a sample of the other extreme. Said a Minneapolis lawyer to me today "When 1 began the practice of law I al ways lost two nights before I had a case in court, tossing about and combating every thinkable' standpoint of my oppo nent. And I lost as much sleep afterward upbraiding myself for not having thought of certain points at certain pat occasions in the progress of the case." Of what value were these night thoughts to this youriE- attorney? About as much value as night sweats to a consumptive,! I ven ture to say that all the business planning a man does in life while lying on his hack at night isnt worth an hour's good thinking on his feet or? one June morn ing. As compared with the sleep it dis places, such night thinking isn't worth forty winks after dinner. Burning the candle at both ends sometimes makes a fine bonfire. But it always makes a bad grease spot of a good candle. PRETTY 310URMNO TOILET. It is not often that a mourning toilet is so irresistible by reason of its dis tinction and grace that one would will ingly order a duplicate for its beco-n-ingness alone. This toilet was a simple walking suit of black cloth with jacket to match, the best of tailor work with braid designs on skirt and on short coat. Much of the smartness came from the wearer's graceful figure and carriage, as well as from the big hat in picture lines, trimmed with three half long black feathers, plisses of gauze, and big bows of the same. There was a large black mousseline stole boa, with very wide rurhes, and scarf ends, which reached nearly to the bottom of the skirt, and then was caught in place with rosettes. There were frills on the ends, and altogether the boa had that modish air called nou, partly an easy motion, partly softness airiness. On the side of this boa it was trimmed with two long black ostrich boas, looped up in places giving the prettiest effect con ceivable. Corresponding to this was a large black mousseline muff floating in end plisses, with black ostrich feathers toppling over swathing and smalier mousseline frills. From Vogue. LOCAL MENTION.

He Has a Get Rich Plan Which Out shines All Others. Tom King, local passenger agent for the Santa. Fe, has a scheme for making money which threatens to outdistance the gold shale interests of W. J. Black, gen eral passenger agent. Mr. King is in possession of a recipe given to him by an aged Spanish doctor as a dying testimonial of his love. The recipe is for a medicine which when taken according to directions wiil make people tat. It costs it cents a bottle to manu facture the mt.iiicine. and the retail price is $1. Aa It is estimated that at least one-half of all the people in the civilizrd world will want a boctie as soon as it is plaet'd on the market, the profits of the industry are simply beyond comparison. Mr. King was telling the people at the Santa Fe offices about his scheme and getting pledges of contributions toward the capital stock of a concern to manu facture the get-fat-quick medicine. It is beiievtd that Mr. King expects to dispose of a large portion of the product of the concern to rival railroads, to be used on their dining cars and in thWr eating houses, for the purpose of giving their patrons the well-fed look so much de sired. The plan is being worked up very quietly fur fear that J. Pierpont Morgan wii Ihear of it and try to buy a controll ing interest in the concern. The beauty of the plan is that the medi cine is absolutely guaranteed. The dying Spaniard in his last breath gave Mr. King positive assurance that this was the case, and tht-re was no possible reason the Spaniard should not tell the truth. Any one buying the medicine can therefore be certain that it will produce the results ex actly as advertised. LAST MAN COMES IN. ANDKllSON AWAKENS. Calls Meeting of Committees to Get to Work.

General Henrique Collazo, the last man of prominence to oppose the presidency of General Palma, has called on the latter, cables the Ha vana correspondent of the Tribune, and pledged his sincere support to the gov ernment. General Collazo was present ed to President Palma by General Que sada. and they were together for a full hour, although it is understood that General Collazo holds to the same views that caused his opposition to President Palma- His action in subordinating these to his patriotism for the interest o the country gives much satisfaction to the friends of the president and has evoked much favorable comment. President Palma has attended a ba'l at Guanabacoa, across the bay from Havana, where General Collazo lives, and was enthusiastically received. It was the first time since he became president that he has left Havana. The president has adopted American methods in dealings with negligent of ficers. He has demanded the release of the greater part of the Cienfuegos police force and has directed its reorganiza tion. This order is the result of the carelessness of the police in allowing the kidnaiiers of the Lopez boy to escape. The occurrence at Cienfuegos probably will hasten the increase of the rural guards, w-hich has been recom mended by the chief executive. A delegation of negroes has waited on President Palma and asked that their race be considered in the matter of the appointment of officers of the rural guard. MILES GOES EAST.

Fort Riley, Kas June 6. General Miles left for Washington Thursday. The offi cers who accompanied General Miles to Fort Pviley will probably remain here un til Monday. Colonel Carr gave a recep tion and banquet in his quarters in honor of his guesty. The officers wore undress uniforms, with side arms. There were Go guests, oficers and their ladies. Thursday morning the field guns which are being tested were taken to the prac tice grounds at 8 o'clock, and General Miles and the board of ordnance and for tifications witnessed the firing until 10:30. After the firing the general reviewed the troops of the garrison. Following the re view, th four pack trains that arrived at the pot a few weeks ago from Cuba, with Chief Parker Thomas Mooney in charge, were inspected. At the closs of the Inspection the Seventh, the Nineteenth and Twentieth batteries were drawn up in line and the command given to fire at will. In less than four minutes 2D blanks were fired, the purpose being to ascertain with what rapidity the present service gun could be fired. General Miles was pleased and surprised at the showing of rapid fire with the old guns. The gen eral then departed for Chicago. The officers at Fort Riley are of the opinion" that no particular gun among the seven new pieces will be adopted in its entirety, but that the good points of all the guns will be consolidated into one, which they think would produce the best gun used by any army. The carriage tests of the guns, overland from the post to Topeka and return, will probably not start before Monday. Pensions For Kansans. Washington, I. C. June 6.

By this time the keeper had heard the young man's screams and was running to the rescue. He reached Tops just as she had her foot raised and was about to step on her tormentor and crush him to death. a-dj Li i r. if One of the Greatest Attractions will be Misses' and Children's Tan Shoes A broken line, in sizes from 6 to 12 values $1.00 ta $2.00 Per Pair. 6.oo.

TOPEKA STATE JQUHXAL. FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE 6, 1902. nrnni i rn t. if. i l LI I ein v m earn -st a m a s&3f m Threatened at Washington With Immediate Court Martial On Charge of Ik-tray ing Secrets of War Department. HAKES TIMP ALONE. Gun Test at Ft. lliley Brought to Sudden End. TronMe Was Started by Senator Culberson of Texas. Secretary Hoot Denies That 3iiles Was Called Back. Kansas City, June 6. Lieutenant Central Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army, passed through Kansas City last nijjht on his nay from Fort Riley to. Washington, calied there by Presi dent Roosevelt and threatened -with an immediate court martial on a charge of having betrayed official secrets. Where as General Miles vent through here the day before attended by several other members of a board convened to ob Brve Ion? Rauge gun tests at Fort .Riley, to be so engaged for several days, he came back yesterday afternoon en tirely alone, and in such haste that he iiad not even reserved a sleeping car berrh. He was in a towering rage and ntade no effort to conceal it. In a manner totally foreign to him he turned his back on a bystander, who sought noth ing more tfrian to greet the head of the army and the man' who had command ed a regiment in which he had served shortly alter the civil war, and when a little later a depot official offered the services of a porter, a ferocious "don't want one" was all he received for his civility. General Miles was worried, and he be trayed his condition. His anxiety was not relieved when he heard read to him a dispatch from Washington. Intimat ing that he was suspected in the White House of having furnished Senator Cul berson of Texas with details of a scan dal involving Lieutenant Arnold. Ac cording to the dispatch Senator Beveridge had asked Culberson if he had not obtained his information and documents from General Miles. At the first asking, Culberson had neither de nied nor affirmed, leaving- the Republi cans supporting the president to infer that Beveridge was correct in his sur mise, and that the leak had been through General Miles. Finding that his silence had a bad effect Senator Cul berson subsequently arose to make a careful denial, and to add that "so far as he knew, neither information nor document had reached him through General Miles, directly or indirectly." The dispatch also went on to say that the leak might have occurred through Corbin, who denied it; through Sanger, who denied it: through Davis who also denied it, or through Miles, who was not on hand to make any explanation. As the dispatch was concluded Gen eral Miles was asked what he had to say in answer. "Senator Culberson seems to have made an answer as full as one couid make, and as explicit as Senator Bever-id;-'e or anyone could demand." Hut. for yourself, general." "1 repeat that Senator Culberson seems to have made the reply for which you are asking." General Aides was in a most unhappy frame of mind. Eastern dispatches yes terday morning had forewarned him that on his return to Washington he would be speedily ordered before a court-martial to stand trial on a charge of be traying department secrets. His anger and behavior were such as to make it useless to ask him anything regarding his prospective predicament or the rea son for it. He had arrived alone from Fort Riley on the Union Pacific and cjuickly made his way into the waiting loom, where he was soon lost in the crowd. Having almost an hour to snare, he endeavored to keep out of the vv. The reporter followed, asking- ques tions as he plowed his way through the dense crowd in the stuffy waiting room. The evening trains were arriving and departing and the crowd was at its densest. The general evidently heard 4 arts of the information spoken after tsim, for he turned his head three or four times to remark: "It is the same thing." "I heard about it this morning," and "I have nothing new to tell," but stopped short when he caught a suggestion that it might look tad if he evaded an opportunity to enter a disclaimer when that oppor tunity was afforded him. Riht where he was, wedged in and shout by scores iff loitering and moving people. General Miles halted and said: "You may read the dispatch." The dispatch was read in full. Dur ing the reading perspiration rolled down the face of the general. Ttyit he was ill at ease was emphasized when President Stanford, of the Union Depot company, came to remark that he would have a porter take the greneral's baggage in a moment. "Don't want one," growled General Miles, and the next instant he was forging- Into the crowd again. Like every body else who moves alxut in the depot, two minutes brings him back to his starting place. As the general found liirnsetf in the enemy's country once more, he again looked ridiculously per plexed and choleric. Observing his manifest distress and realizing how futiie It wcfuld be to at tempt to further discuss the row in Washington, the reporter laughingly said "If you will stop long enough to tell about long range guns, general The next instant the suit case was jammed down on the tile floor and Gen. Miles was discussing the tests at Riley. "We tried American, English and German guns," said he. "In due time the board niil make a report. I am not prepared to state what my own observations were as there is a lot of data wi must as semble and classify." "There is a second dispatch, general." was then remarked, "to the effect that you are p-iemptorily ordered back to Washington to face charges." General Miles did not deign a reply.. "is this correct?" was persisted So far from evoking an answer the Interrogation did not more than start the commanding general of the army off on another stampede. This time he stop ped at tiie news stand and purchased a inairazine. "W hat do you think of the new army as a fighting machine, general?" Depot President Sanford inquired, approaching the commander of the army. "Lick anything on earth," Gen. Miles replied, coming almost to the fringe of a smile. "Our army is the finest tread ing the world todays! I have seen them all. We are better in Intellect and in Physical build. There never could have b.-en a better body of men." With such complimentary things Gen. Miles killed time until 6:30 o'clock, when fcs boarded his train and started for what may be the worst trouble he has been In since he entered the army. THE STORY FROM WASHINGTON Washington, June 6. Gen. Miles is suspected by officials of the war depart ment of giving- the correspondence to Senator Culberson upon which the charges of cruelty against Lieut. T. F Arnold are based. The official records of the war department have been laid before the senate and the heads of de partments do not know how possession of them was gained. A searching in vestigation has been instituted and if the suspicion in the official mind is con firmed by investigation. General Miles' summary retirement is certain. Both Secretary Root and General Miles are out of the city. There are four buieaua where the leak may have occurred, ti e adjutant general's office, the office of the army headquarters, the oifice of the judge advocate and the immed'ite of fice of the secretary of war. W herever the leak occurred, the eudty will be punished if proof cart be established. Mr. Sanger, the assistant secretary of war, averts that in no way did the pa pers go out. of the secretary's office. Adjutant General Corbin says that they could not possibly have leaked from his office and General Davis, judge advo cate general, is equally certain his office is not the place to be suspected. The president has conferred with General Corbin and Mr. Sanger. There is no doubt as to the disingen uousness of Senator Culberson's denial of the insinuation that he got the charges from General Miles. Mr. Cul berson, when pressed by Senator Beveridge, as to whether he had obtain ed the papers from the war department, replied that he had not. Mr. Beveridge, asking directly, if General Miles had given them to him, the Texas senator made no answer and Mr. Beveridge drew the inference that the refusal to answer was equivalent to admitting an aflir-Ti ative. Later Mr. Culberson rose to make a careful explanation, in which he said that a gentleman not at all connected with the army, furnished him the papers, and they had not come to him directly, nor, so far as he had knowledge, indirectly from General Miles. It is the belief around the war depart ment that some clerk or typewriter connected with the headquarters must have copied the charges made against Lieutenant Arnold and held the copy until it could be used to advantage. It is fully six months since the papers passed through General Miles' office. The majority senators of the Philippines committee take the affair hard. They have rested on Secretary Root's state ment that he had been entirely frank with the senate and furnished all the cases of alleged cruelty that were in the possession of the department. The Democrats on the committee, not satisfied with Secretary Root's word, have tried to have a resolution report ed from the committee calling for all such papers on fiie in the war depart ment. The majority of the com-nittee has always replied that the word of Sec retary Root was enough, and refused to assist in getting the desired data from the department. ROOT SATS IT IS UNTRUE. Washington. June 6. Secretary Root today stated that General Miles has not been" summoned to Washington. The general, it is said, is now en route from Fort Riley, Kan,, to West Point, in re sponse to an invitation to attend the centennial celebration there next week. MILES SAYS IT'S SO. Chicago, June 6 General Miles reach ed here this morning and left this after noon for Washington. He said to a re porter of the Associated Press: "I have been ordered to Washington. I am not going to the exercises at West Point." He added that he preferred not to dis cuss his reasons for going to Washing ton other than that he had been ordered to do so. WILL DRIVE THEi OUT. Police to Make War on Slot Machines. At a meeting of the police committee last night the new set of books which is being kept by Chief of Police Tim othy Donovan was inspected by the com mittee and the financial part of the record gone over carefully. Lverytnmg was found to be in first class condition, and the committee complimented Chief Donovan on the condition of his de partment as shown by the records. When Chief Donovan took office he found nothing at all in the way of records except the jail docket, or day book, where the jailer records the names of those arrested. He at once set about straightening things out, and the finan ces of the department are now in such shape that at any time the exact ex penses of the department can be ascer tained. "My books are always open to the in spection of the public," said Chief Dono van today. "I invite the closest examin ation of ail the financial transactions of the department." Chief Donovan, the jailer and the po lice judge each keep a record now of the arrests made, the officers making the arrest and the cause, together with in formation about the prisoner. The amount of fine is also given. At the end of the month the books of the three officials are carefully checked over to see that they tally. A book of the daily expenses of the department is also kept. There is also being carefully made a record of every article of any value stolen in the city, the numbers of stolen watches and description of stolen prop erty of all kinds. A record is also made from daily reports of pawn brokers of the loans made on watches and articles of jewelry. If at any time any stolen property gets into the hands of pawn brokers, the police are certain to know it the same day, provided they have on file a description of the stolen property pawned. Besides going through the books of the department, the police committee voted that Mayor Parker and Chief Donovan be authorized to go ahead and drive the slot machines out of the city. These machines are running contrary to law, without paying licenses, and the department will make every effort to make them get out of business. The committee will recommend to the council that policemen who have served one year or over be given a 10-days' va cation, and those who have served less than one year be given a five-days' vacation. The vacations will be given in rotation, beginning July 1. An effort is being made by Council men Neil and Wolf to have ex-Police Sergeant McElroy appointed to a place on the force. The chances are, however, that McElroy will not land the place, as it has been decided by the mayor and chief that the work of the department can be dune with the force now at the disposal of the department. Chris Magee's Doctor Bill. Pittsburg. Pa., June 6. The bill of Dr. Walter c. Browning of Philadelphia for J1U0.070 for professional services in attending State Senator Chris L. Ma gee during the long illness which re sulted in his death, came up before Judge Oveer of the county orphans' court today. The executors had refused to pay the bill, averring that it was exorbitant. Counsel for Dr. Browning stated before the hearing that Dr. Browning's claim against the Magee estate aggregated $350,000 but he wouid not make public the items which' go to make the claims. Attorneys for the estate say they have received no notice that the claim had been increased. POLICE J0TTI1IGS. Hoy Daniels Ciets Into the Public Eye Once More. This Time He Pounded Up Woman. O T" DANIELS, who got before the public a short time ago by killing Fran cis Devlin, was placed in jail this morning on an old commit ment, the relic of a case which came before the police court last summer. Dan iels pounded, a woman named Gertrude Felt in her rooms at 618 Kansas avenue, was arrested and fined $15. He took an appeal to the district couit, where it was sustained, but he didn t pay the fine. The resurrection of this old commit ment by the police was due to a dis turbance Daniels made last night by beating up Sadie St. Clair, the woman with whom he has been living. The as sault occurred in the "Bijou" restaurant on East Fifth street. Daniels pounded her face to such an extent that her gore covered her shirt waist and then disappeared. The St. Clair woman tel ephoned for Sergeant Owen, and he went up to the place where the fight occurred to see what she wanted. She was shedding tears as well asj blood, and told the officer that Daniels had beaten her face, but she did not want him arrested. It is something of an exasperation to a policeman to be told of a crime by some one who refuses to prosecute, and Sergeant Owen told the wo-Tian that if she .was such an easy victim her punishment was just. This morning it was decided that Daniels was becoming too numerous and prominent, as he had assaulted the same woman on one or two other oc casions since his acquittal on the charge of murder, beside having a fight with a colored woman. He seems to have developed a faculty for fighting with wo-nen. In the fight last night the woman says Daniels struck her because she re fused to give him her door key. Other witnesses say that the St. Clair woman is something of a fighter herself, and did not take the punishment without a murmur. It was hoped that Daniels' murder case would cause him to slow down a little and retire from publicity" via the police route, but he has failed to do so. Sadie St. Clair was arrested this morning for keeping a disorderly house. This is probably her share of thepunish ment for last night's disturbance. Ben Jordan and Henry Smith were incarcerated this morning on an old commitment for crap shooting, some time in the past. They failed to pay their fines, and although the wheels of justice grind slowly, they get there just the same. "Uncle Ben" Jordan was also raked on a charge of keeping open on Sunday. Troubles never come other wise than in a bunch for Uncle Ben jamin. F. E. Bates was also gathered for quenching the Sabbath thirs-, but he had the goods and paid his $50 to get it off his mind. HOOT GETS A LETTER. Felipe Buencamino Makes a Number of Suggestions. Washington, June 6. Secretary Root has received a unique and interesting letter from Felipe Buencamino, the Fil ipino who had just completed his testi mony before the house committee on in sular affairs. In his letter the Filipino statesman summarizes the most urgent needs of the Filipinos and then pro ceeds to outline his personal plans for the future. These include an appropria tion to send Philippine students to the United States for the purpose of special studies which he believes will be of value to his people, and individual pro paganda to correct American miscon ceptions of the Philippine situation. In cidentally the writer recounts some small matters of complaint, principally as to house rentals, which he desires corrected. DREW TWO SAURIES. Gen. Wrood Received $15,000 a Tear In Cuba. Washington, June 6 A letterfrom the secretary of war appears in the report submitted today by Chairman Hull of the house military committee adverse to the resolution of Mr. Bartlett (Ga.) ask ing for information as to the compensa tion paid General Wood while governor general of Cuba. Secretary Root states that Secretary Alger made an allow ance to General Brooke, out of the rev enues of Cuba, of $7,500 a year and con tinues: "There has been no change since that time, except that when General Wood's commission as major general of vol unteers expired I made an order for further allowance, equal to the differ ence between the salary of a major general and brigadier general, so as to keep his total compensation at the same figure, the combined compensation re ceived as an officer of the army and as governor of Cuba, being always $15,000 per annum. I see that the Cuban con gress has voted that Mr. Palma's salary shall be $25,000." Secretary Root says this has been fully made known to congress in for mer reports and neither house has made any objection. Secretary Root says in his letter as to the various phases of the subject: "I should hardly suppose that the house of representatives would wish to adopt a resolution whih implies ignor ance on its part of the authority of the president of the United States under the law of military occupation, to appro priate and expend the revenues of the government of the occupied country." Roosevelt to the Pope. Washington, June 6. -The following statement was issued at the White House today: "Upon the occasion of Governor Taft's call upon the pope he presented him some of the president's books with a brief note accompanying the volumes, in which the president asked the pope's acceptance of them, thanked him for his repeated expres sions of good will to America and wished him many happy and pirsperous years of life."

SITE FOR" PEST HOUSE. It Will Be on Twenty-first Street Southeast of Town. The sanitary committee and board of health of the city council have purchased the 10-acre tract of land on Twenty-first street one-quarter of a mile east of the Sac and Fox road, to be used as a site for a pest house. The price paid was 1 ,000. and it is estimated that with the added cost of building a pest house, the city will "set back" about $2.0ou. Five members of the committee went in the patrol wagon yesterday to visit the site for the pest house. Those who went were George Tincher, Joseph Gridlev, Dr. J odd, Dr. Davis and Dr. Masaey. H. S. Nichols was not able to go. After view ing the site. Dr. Judd, Dr. Davis and Mr. Tincher voted in favor of purchasing the site for $l.o00, and Dr. Masscy voted against it. Dr. Griley did not vote. The land is owned by eastern parties and W. C. Stephenson is the local rep resentative. The deed has been drawn up and sent back east for the signatures of the owners. This site was selected for the sole rea son that it was a long distance from any ht.use. It is not a desirable location, be ing worthless for farming or anything else, it was twice as expensive as other pieces of more desirable property offered, but as the council had given the commit tee power to purchase the site, there was nothing else under consideration, and the committee -decided not to wait any longer for action by the council. RESTLESS IN TOPEKA. Trouble Caused at Santa Fe by Dis charge of Boilermaker. Boilermakers in Topeka were on the verge of a strike this morning", caused by the discharge of John Oisou. a boiler maker whom the company wanted to send to Koswell, N. M., and who refused to go. The matter was-fixed up by the backdown of tile company and their agreement to take Olson back to work. Obion was out of a job for three hours. Olson is a union man and claims that if the company had refused to take him back the union would have stood by him and gone out on a strike. Olson tells this story of the affair: "I agTeed to go to Roswell several days ago, but because suspicious that I was being shipped out there to take the place of somebody who was on a strike. So when they brought me my transportation this morning 1 told them I could not go. Then the foreman told me that the company would not need my services any longer, I was out for three hours and then was taken back. The union was with me in my action." A. T. Parfitt, foreman of the boiler-shops.-tells this story: "Olson was anx ious to go to Roswell several days ago and asked to be included in the gang being made up for that point. When everything was ready to send him this morning he refused to go. He was discharged, but to avoid trouble, was taken back. Another man took Olson's place." The four boilermakers were sent to Ross well this morning. Three of them were non-union men. The following dispatch was received from San Bernardino this morning: San Bernardino, Oal., June 6. No trou ble has occurred arr-ong the strikers at the Santa Fe machine shops at this'point. Of the eastern men brought in last night, not one went to work today so tar as could be learned, and nearly all of them have left the quarters assigned to them by the com pany, stating that they did not under stand the situation whezi they engaged themselves to come here. MR. EMERSON RESIGNS. Prohibition Candidate For Governor Leaves Temperance Union. The Rev. P. W. Emerson, who was nominated on Thursday by the Prohibi tionists for governor, has resigned as state lecturer for the State Temperance union. He wired the secretary immedi ately after his nomination, intimating that his resignation would follow by mail. The State Temperance union is a non political organization, and while some of its active members may be friendly toward Mr. Emerson, it cannot, maintain its of ficial relations with him and still claim to be non-partisan. For this reason he resigns, but he mav fiil a number of en gagements that have already been made. CURTIS WITH PRESIDENT. Repeats His Appreciation of Good Will of Kansarfs. Washing-ton, June 6.

WHEAT "Early trade In grains today was somewhat irregular, though of a quiet nature. July wheat open ed a shade lower to unchanged, at 71'a 71H'Tlc, and was supported fairly well against lower Liverpool cables. Paris was higher and the geenral rains were dan gerous in their possibilities of damage to crops. The southwestern conditions were somewhat bullish. Cash business early, however, was poor with prices shaded both here and at Duluth. July dipped to 71c, but rallied somewhat on covering and steadied at 71Tic. Receipts were 4 cars; Minneapolis and iuluth reported 56 cars, a total for the three points -of 2to cars, against 4'?7 cars a vear ago.. Argentine shipments were 6tiJ,00 bushels, agamst L 032, wXJ busheis last year. On the estimate of a local statistician that the general situation of the winter wheat had improved 5 points and that spring wheat was almost perfect, save that the acreage was about l.ooj,oy less than last year, July wheat dipped to TiVo.. Corn firmness and lair support bulled the price of July later to 72c, and the close was firm, J uly y& ?-8c up, at 71Tc. CORN Corn trade was narrow but of a stronger nature early. There was a good demand for July, but not quite so good for September. Foreign trade was dull and cables were steady. The principal bullish inlluence was the possibility of delayed cultivation and movement and of smaller country offerings because of the weather. Receipts were slightly smaller than esti mated, at 237 cars. July opened unchanged to HtC higher, at 62I8asC. sold up to 62:,ic, and held fairly steady for the first hour. The big bull Interests came into the corn pit again and supported July. St. Liouis sold September and. kept the price of that option down. July sold up easily to t3c, and closed firm and c up, at te'W-i vlc. OATS Oats showed more strength and animation than anything on the boor at the opening. Receipts were light, at cars. Cash business was excellent. Rains were dangerous in that they were likely to cause tal k of rankness and lodging. There was little of importance in the trade other than fair buying that kept the mar ket firm in spite of profit taking. Afar two days good bulge July (new) opened unchanged, at "S&TfcC, sold to Sbfrc. and held well near S.vc .PROVISIONS Previsions started weak on scattered liquidation and a weak hog market, but soon rallied on packers' sup port. July opened t-uc to a shy.de lower, at $17 A1-z't i Yi.2t, and advanced to $17. 25; July lard a shade down, at $10.20, and July ribs 2l-c lower, at $lt.o&. and sold at $10.10.

Secretary Root today made public the following cable gram from Acting Governor Wright of the Philippines: Manila. May 23. Secretary of War Root, Washington: With reference to your cablegram of the 15th. outside of Moro country only portion of archi pelago not organized under civil gov ernment are Lepanto, Bontoc.Batangas, Laguna, Principe, Infanta, Mindoro, Kumar and the Paraguan and other small groups. No armed insurrection In any of them. No reason eo far as re lates to peaceful conditions why civil government in all may not now be established. Special government for Bontoc and Lepanto inhabited exclusive ly by peaceful Igorrotes will be or ganized in a few days. Will negotiate civil government in Laguna immediate ly. Batangas formerly organized was turned over to civil authorities by Phil ippine com mission, account No. 173; will repeal same to take effect July 4. Only reason for not giving act immediate ef fect is that many people in this province have only recently returned to their homes and in order to prevent possibility of suffering think best to have military look after them until date named because latter have per fected organization which civil authori ties lack. Crops now being planted, will mature by August 1. Whilst Principe and In fanta could be organized at once, diffi cult to look after them until we receive vessels now building, say by September 1; few Inhabitants and unimportant. Mindoro and Paraguan group large is lands sparsely populated and difficult of access without vessels. For these rea sons thlr.k best to leave military tem porariry in charge because they have transportation facilities. Under Span ish regime Bontoc. Lepanto, Principe, Infanta and the Paraguan group did not have provincial government, com manded, by military officers and Min doro is attached to Marrinduque. Major General Adna R. Chaffee con curs in above. WRIGHT. Eoer Prisoners Paroled.

Direct Issue is Made on Senat orial Question. BOTH SIDES ACTIVE. All of the Candidates Ate Pop ular Sen. Items About the Politicians and Their Doings. Tomorrow the Republicans of Brown county will express their choice for Uni ted States senator. The expression will be indirect, ot course, but it will be just as clear cut nnd decisive as though the voters were voting directly for United States senator. Tomorrow the Republican primaries in Brown county will be held to nomi nate a county ticket, and the principal contest is over the nomination of can didates for the legislature in the two Brown county districts. It is probably the warmest fight ever experienced in Brown county. The only issue Is the election of the next United States sena tor. It is Curtis against Long. Each of two candidates in both districts has declared himself, one for Curtis and the other for Long. A' third candidate in one district is maintaining a neutral policy. The contest is so warm- that the Brown County World, Ewing Herbert's paper, devotes nearly all of its reading matter in its first seven pages this week to making a fight for the Curtis candi dates. In the Hiawatha district Simon FYaser is the Long candidate, and S. E. Brown the Curtis man. Both are ex-sheriffs of Brown county. M. G. Ham. the third candidate, is non-committal, and the fight is between Fraser and Brown. In the other district, T. C. Honnell is a candidate for renomination In the inter est of Curtis, and J. M. Bobbins is op posing him. A peculiar feature about the situation in the south district is that Robbins is a son-in-law of Honnell, against whom he is running. There are no personalities entering into the fight. All the candidates are said to be good men, and it is simply a question of whom Brown county Re publicans want for United States sena tor. Herbert makes every appeal possible for Curtis this week. He claims that Doniphan county is putting up the fight against Curtis in Brown county, and says if Curtis is not elected United States senator he will remain in the lower house and those who oppose him will not get any recognition from him. O. J. Nugent is helping Herbert in his fight for Curtis, while Captain John Schilling and I. N. Smith are for thu Long candidates. The Brown County Republican says: "Judge Ryan insists that he heard calls for Governor Stanley at the Wichita convention and Sample Newlon say3 Judge Ryan furnished some of them. We didn't hear a call for Stanley, but presume some did call for him." There was at one time In the convention an enthusiastic demand for a speech from Governor Stanley. It was as vociferous as the calls for Curtis, Long or Bur ton. Governor Stanley was tar back in one corner of the Etage, and he rose and said: "Never mind me now. Go ahead with the business of the convention, and next fail when the ticket is to be elect ed you will hear from me." The dele gates were making so much noise call ing Stanley's name that nobody heard him off the stage but Chairman Cole heard and insisted on proceeding with the balloting, as it was in the midst of a rush of business. R. A. Lovltt has withdrawn from the race for the fusion nomination for dis trict judge in the Thirtieth district, com posed of Saline, Ottawa, Ellsworth and Lincoln counties. This gives T. L. Bond clear sailing In Saline county, and he will probably be nominated. The fu sionists believe they can elect their can didate in that district this fall because of the disaffection in Ellsworth county over the Republican nomination. The Ellsworth county Republicans claim their candidate, C. J. Evans, was not given a square deal in the Republican judicial convention, which nominated li. R. Rees of Ottawa county after a dead lock of two days. A big Republican ratification is sched uled for Horton tonight at which W. J. Bailey will spenk. Bailey has also ac cepted an invitation to deliver an address at Hutchinson on the Fourth of July. Assistant Attorney General Clad Hamil ton is coming to the front as a "special occasion orator." He delivered the princi pal Memorial day speech at Beloit last week and made a great Impression. CiaV Center has captured him for the Fourth of July, according to the Times, "to wrestle with the American Eagle." G. C. Clemens, who left the Pontillsts for dead two years ago and ran as the So cialist candidate for governor. Is quoted by a Kansas City paper as for Craddock. It quotes him as follows: "The Republi cans have no cinch in Kansas this vear. I believe conditions are favorable for the election of Craddock for governor. Ot course the Populists have not yet held tneir state convention, out l tnrnK tnere ia no doubt that they will indorse Craddock'8 nomination." IiOomis Makes Appointments. Colonel H. C. Loorais, department commander of the Kansas G. A. R., has issued a general order appointing W. W. Denison adjutant general, O. H. Coulter as quartermaster general and the following as delegates from the de partment of Kansas to the national Prizes Are on Exhibition. Some not all of the prizes which will be given the winners in the Dia mond "C" voting contest are now on exhibition at Swearingen's 724 Kansas avenue. Scores of visitors examine them daily. That they are surprised and pleased with them goes witMout saying. Seldom very seldom will you find a manufacturer who has enough faith in his goods to feel justified In offering prizes worth, in the aggregate, hundreds of dollars, for the sole purpose of in ducing the public to try them. Whether or not you use Diamond "C" soap; whether or not you are interested in the Diamond "C" voting contest, you should make a point of seeing the prizes.

FEDERAL COURT NOTES Charles and Ira Browa Xeave Prison to Again 'Stand Trial. Deputy United States Marshal McGrath has taken Charles Wheat ley nnd Ira Brown, aged 22 and 21, respectively, to Oklahoma, where they will be tried for stealing from the Funca Indian reserva tion.

THE I AllE S0KIIY NOW. Farmers Who Plowed Up Wheat "Were Too Hasty. According to reports from the wheat belt, the same thing that has happened time and time again has come about again this year farmers who were hasty about plowing up their wheat helds are now sorry for it. There is no telling just what a Kan sas wheat field won't do. It may look thin and sicKly and pale In April, and a few showers in lay will bring it rapid ly to the front. That is what happened this year. Last year a lot of farmers became frightened after May Id and some of them actually plowed up con siderable wheat, but those who did not harvested big crops- It is not to be supposed that a bump er crop is looked for this year, but wheat which a few weeks ago was pro nounced dead now promises a half crop. Nearly all of it is short, however, and there will be little straw. There will be almost no demand for binders and bind ing twine, but the wheat will nearly all be cut with headers. The Beloit Gazette this week contains the following: "There is an entire change in the crop situation. Where nothing was expected from the wheat fields, now average crops will be harvested, if the favorable weather continues. For instance, Pete Eresch, with some S00 acres of wheat. has not plowed up any of It, and saya his total yield bids fair to be larger than that of last year. These good re ports come from all over the country. And while this improvement in the wheat prospect is more than gratifyin the corn is growing to "beat all." C0L011 LINE IN CHURCH.

CUT HIS OWN TJII'OAT With "The Sorrows of Satan" Lying Beside Him. Chicago, June 6. Sitting on a wooded island in Jackson park, -with a copy of "The Sorrows of Satan" at his side, Arthur D. James, 30 years old, bjis committed suicide by cutting his throat and gashing his left wrist with a razor. His motive for the act is a mystery. James was e.n ployed as a city sales man for a lqcal tiour company, whose officials say that his accounts are straight and that he' was to have re ceived today a raise in wages of $5 a week. It is said he was engaged to a young woman in the south. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war James enlisted in the Fifty first reeriment of Iowa and later served in the Philippines. He came to Chicago from his home in Denison, la., about a year ago. BEET SUGAR PRoIlOTEK Gives Eis Version of th.9 Situation in Cuba. Washington. D. C, June 6. Truman P aimer of Chicago, a witness before the Senate committee on Cuban relations, for the j) ast four yt-ars has ben engaged in the promotion of beet sugar interests. He pavp a lit-t of seventeen American cor jsorationa, which, he said, have 58,727 acres in sugar producing' lands in Cuba, with an annual capacity of 'aZ$A2o tons. Of these seventeen companies ten have on file war claims against the government of the United States agerreating S9.ti-9.f -H. The Jarjrest of these claims, for S4,I7(,y8, was ft ied by the Const a nolo Sutrar com pany, with an estate of 57,000 acres and an annual capacity of LLO.j tons. Mr. Pal mer said he had secured the facts upon which this statement is based upon the official records of the Spanish claims com mission and from statements made by witu!:r-.ises before the Senate committee and the Hnut-e committee on ways and means. The witness said that an effort "in his part to place the bonds of a beet Bug a r con i pa nv had failed last December beca use of the agitu tton to secure a re duction of the duty on Cuban sugar, and fa n f't is. i t i k 6 W fk &a Price $1.00 CtTTICTTStA SOAP, to cleanse the skla ef crusts and scales and soften the thick ened cuticle, CDTICTJHA OINTMENT, to instantly allay itching, inflamma ticn, and irritation, and soothe and heal, and CUTICURA RESOLVENT PILLS, to cool and cleanse the blood.

Mr. Palmer also presented a list of estates owned by individuals who are citizens of the United States- and who re side in the United States, but most of whom are either of Cuban or Ameri can birth. This list included forty-one estates of 366,76 acres, with ari average sugar producing capacity of 34,415 tons. Of these forty -one estates, thirty-five filed war claims against the government of the United States aggregating $13,646,541. Mr. Palmer deduced from the figures given in this connection that only 30 per cent of the product was supplied by farmers who do not own their own fac tories. When Senator Piatt asked what had induced witness to manifest o great an interest in the legislation proposed, he replied: "Because I believe that if this tariff re duction legislation fails I shall have no difficulty in securing the means of build ing at least one beet sugar factory a year." II ANN A MADE A MISTAKE. Landed in Enemy's Camp While Hunting For Help. San Francisco, Cal., June 6. Presi dent Newhall of the chamber of com merce has received from Senator Hanna a telegram in which the latter says: "As a member of the Isthmian canal committee, of the senate, I am decided ly in favor of the Panama route, which lias the unanimous support of the com mission appointed by the president, and as a business proposition Is the route we should choose. I wish you would wire your senators here to join with me In securing the passage of that bill. They seem to be in doubt as to the sen timent in California and are among the very few Republican senators who have not announced in favor of the Panama route. You can trust my judgment in this matter." President Newhall sent the following telegram in reply: "After conference of presidents of commercial bodies here, I am instructed to say Pacific coast wants Isthmian canal. Regret question should arise re garding route. Commercial bodies of this city always advocated Nicaragua route. Refer the matter to our senators and representatives who are thoroughly conversant with the subject." GEORGIA ELECTION. It Has Been Held Already and Will Be Ratified in October. Atlanta, Ga., June 6.

HOT AIll Is All That Issues From the Gallup Volcano. Albuquerque, N. M., June 6. Dr. C. L Herrick, former president of the New Mexico university and one of the most eminent geologists in the w'est, after carefully examining the supposed vol cano crater, 15 miles from Gallup, gives a description of the locality and says: "Here there is a fold and fault which is interesting because of the meta morphism that is going on. Fromcracks in the sandftone overlying the lignite, there is issuing- a constant stream of heated air, carbon dioxide, sulphurous oxide and varor. The soifataric action may be attributed-to the slow oxidation of the shales in the presence of water. From this point eastward is a series of cracks that have been filled with iron and lime, going still farther to show that along this fold a breakwater at one time ascended." Dr. Herrick does not believe there is any possibility of dangerous eruption from this crevice. The Bufialo Sails For Manila. New York. June 6.

The annual sale of unclaimed freight at one of the Santa Fe warehouses is on. All the junk and second hand dealers were there at the opening prepared to buy any old thing put up for sale, or at least make a bid on it. The first day's business was the best. One junkman bought about a car load, including everything from fragments of a stove to old carriage wheels and ba by buggies in various states of decay. The auctioneer, John Ashbaugh, an old timer, mm. -at- 9 knows many of the customers by name, and doesn't lose an opportunity to "bawl 'em out." 'Fif-tecents-ah-hali'-fo'bits-fi'-dimes 'n' a half-a-doliar. tif-tif-lif-tEE Hev. dad, vou've bought sorn'n' I" "Six dollars, goin' at six. at six.. 'n quarter na-quarter ginie-a half, gimmea half gimmeahalf ahalf ahalf sold to that gentleman in the 'katy' hat." The gen man with the "katy" hat pays six and lour bits for a dry goods box containing two bed quilts and a peck of dried onions. Closed boxes bring the best bids. The animal man is prone to gamble it is instinct. He can't resist he temptation to give up his coin for an unknown quan titv. The highest bid made Thursday was for a box, the contents unknown to the purchaser. It brought 9.25, but the buyer did not open it there. One man bought a large basket trunk. He had visions of great treasure and cheerfully paid $3.ot. He could not rest until he" hail opened his prize package, which was large enough to hold ten buah els of straw, and discovered an empty two-quart valise inside. Picture frames such as are furnished with &s cent crayon portraits sold at from "some of the boxes contained family rel ics, photographs, crazy quilts, the pas- telle portrait of Bary Jane in long aresses, little Willie's rocking horse, a receipt for the excellent doughnuts grandma used to make. It was easv to look at some of these things and see the broken home in the background. There were some 'bargains. Kxceilnt niece of furniture sold a a price far below that paid for worthless articles which were boxed up away from the sight of the inquisitive purchaser. "How much am I bid, "yelled the auction eer as he held aloft a bottle which seemed to contain whisky. "How much'm 1 bid for the case of a dozen bottles?' A wild LITTLE RED DEVILS. Mind flakes Peculiar Things. Coffee almost kills some people before they are willing to admit that coffee is really the cause of the trouble. Tet it is easy to break off the habit providing Postum Coffee, well boiled, is served in its place. A lady says, "After coffee drinking had become a habit with me I experi enced a sense of faintness in the stom ach with lassitude and dullness of the mind. This was accompanied with severe pains in the region of my liver. "Gradually my health failed and I be came thin and a nervous wreck, having sick headaches every day. Then in somnia set in and I suffered for four years such torments as those who have been through the experience know of. At night I would grow so nervous over the continual distress in my stomach that I would imagine hundreds of little red devils had strings attached to the back of my stomach and were trying to pull it out. I was compelled at times to take laudanum to relieve the distress and cramps-. "This condition lasted with some varia tion for about three years. I tried vari ous physicians, and" finally was advised to try leaving off coffee: this I thought could not be done. I was finally in duced to give up coffee and use Postum and I began to get well. "When I recovered and thought I was well enough to go back to coffee again I tried it, but after using it a short time the old stomach trouble came back and I threw the balance of the coffee in the stove. There has never been a grain of the old fashioned coffee in the house since and never will be as long as I am running it. "Postum coffee is delicious when made according to directions and served hot with good cream and some sugar. The whole family use it and enjoy it greatly. I have gained 40 pounds in the last year and my nerves are fast becoming a thing of the past. I sleep perfectly all night and am a well woman, thanks to Postum." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. tP. 6 X 7 it stampede for the front was started, but the words "Worcestershire Sauce" on the end of the box dispelled the illusion and the case was knocked down, at a dollar. One man bought a sewing machine for $3.50. but failed to produce the coin, and it was hastily resold to the next highest bidder. No credit, no renigging were among "Doc" Ashbaugh's rules. The bids have to be even quarters, and nothing is sold for less than quarter. a man oia id cents on an old. wasn boiler and the auctioneer preisared to as sist him, "but he was saved ty a person who purchased the relic of scrap heap for 75 cents. The highest bid during the sale was on a piece of granite, a tombstone, which sold for $32. Another stone weighing about two tons, four times as much as the former, only brought J7.50 evidently the pieces were not based on weight. A full barrel of sample packages of laundry- starch sold at "A little paint and varnish goes a long way," was the way the auctioneer intro duced a couple of dilapidated bedsteads, and they sold for more than they were worth. One junkman bought a large box of patent medicine printed matter. "What do you expect to do with that stuff?" asked a bystander. "I will write to this medicine company and tell them that I can sell them a few thousand of their pamph lets at a figure far below the cost of print ing, and they will purchase all right," an swered the buyer. Only a few women attended the sale and the entire crowd seldom numbered more than a hundred. A policeman was detailed to attend, and the promiscuous stealing which occurred last year was not repeated. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS The government thermometer' got up to SS Thursday.
