"The experience of one war," contin ued the general, "is handed down to ad vantage. The men schooled in the great civil war and the war of the frontier were in command of our small army v. hit-h achieved success duriri!? the last hi ii-f war between the United States and Sp.-. in." The celebration of th one hundredth ahni vers.iry of the establishment of the West l'omt Military academy reached its climax Wednesday. President Roose velt was the chief guest and t:v-re was a brilliant crowd Including arm y and navy i"r-w-e. cabinet en-crs, id'e-s in bright costumes and handsomely uni formed diplomats. Immediately after luncheon, the hun dreds of visitors sought Memorial hall, a new- stone structure, where the ever cises were held. The president, escorted by the cadets, and leading a notabio party of officers, came across the parade ground and soon after his entrance the. speaking began. Colonel Mills made an address of Wel ti come and then Introduced President Ttoosevelf, who spoke as follows: THE PRESIDENTS AbO;tRSS. "Colonel Mills, the graduates of West lldnt. and you men and women who are drawn to them by ties of citizenship or by tiie simple fact that you are Ameri cans and therefore of necessity drawn to them lapplause). I am glad to have the chance of saying a word to you to day. There is little need for me to say how well your performance has com pared with prophetic promise made on your behalf by the greatest of Ameri cans, Washington (applause). This in stitution has completed its first hun dred years of life. During that century no other educational institution in the land has contributed as many names as West Point has contributed to the honor roll of the nation's citizens (ap pia use "Colonel Mills, T claim to be ahistorian and 1 speak sinpiy as a reciter of facts, vi hen I say what I have said: and more than that, not merely has West Point contributed a greater number of the men who stand Idyhst on the na tion's tumor roil, but I think beyond question that, taken as a whole, the average graduate of West Point during ibis hundred years, has given a greater amount of service to the country through his life than has the average graduate of any other institution in this broad land lai'tdause). "Now, gentlemen, that is not surpris ing. That is what we have a right to expect from this military university, founded by the nation (applause.) But I am glad that the expectation has been made good (applause,) and of all the Institutions in this country none is more, in the proper sense of the word, absolutely democratic than this. Here we care nothing; for the boy's birthplace, for the boy's grade, for his social stand ing: here we care nothing save for his worth if he is able toshew It (applause.) Here you represent with almost math ematical exactness the country geographically. Tc-u are drawn from ewry walk of life by a method of chance, meant to i.isure, and which in a great majority of cases does insure, nothing but active youth. Here you come together as representatives of America in the higher and more peculiar sense than can possibly be true of any I otiier institution m the land, save your Fister college that makes similar pre parations for the service of the country on the seas (applause). "This morning I have shaken hands with many of you, and I have met the men who stand as representatives of every great struggle, every great move this great nation has made for the last EO or 60 years. There are some still left among- the older of you who took part in the Mexican war, a struggle which added to this country a tcrritorv vaster than has changed hands in Europe as the result of all the wars of the last two centuries. I meet always, when I (see any of the older among vou, men who took part in the great civil war, when this nation was tried as in a furnace, the men who were called upon to do the thing which had to be done under penalty of making the memory of Washington himself worthless be cause if you had failed then, failure would have been written across toe record of his works. Finallv, I see the younger men as well as the" older ones' the men whom I have seen mvself take part in a httie war, a war that was th merest skirmish compared to the strug gle in which you fought from 'til to '6.j and yet a war that has had almost as far reaching effect, not merely for tha destiny of this nation, but therefore Upon the destiny of the world, the war with Spain; and it was my good fortune to see in the campaign in Cuba how tho graduates of West Point handled them selves, and to endeavor to profit by their example, and it has become my pleasure to come here today because I was at that time intimately associated with many of your graduates. "On the day before the San Juan fight when we were marched up intcv a position, we lost communication with our baggage and food, and for supper that night I had what Colonel Mills gave me (laughter and applause), and it tasted very good, and the next morning Colonel Mills was with another West Pointer, Shipp. from North Carolina, The next morning we had breakfast to gether, and I remember well congratu lating myself that my regiment we were all volunteer regiments could have as an example men like Shipp and Mills, whose very presence made the men cooi and made them feel collected and at ease. Mills and Shipp went down with our regiment to the action. Very shortly after it was begun Shipp was killed and Mills received a wound from which no one of us at the time thought he would recover. I had at that time in my regi ment acting as second lieutenant a graduate of West Point, who was hav ing his holiday and took his holidav bv going: with us, and just before the as sault he was shot, the bullet going, I think, in his stomach, and he said, Good-bye, colonel, I'm going to get well.' "But I did not think he was. Pie is here, all right here, and his name Is Haskell. (Applause.) And there was never a moment by day or night that I was not an eyewitness of some per formance of duty being done by a West Pointer, and I never saw a West Point er failing in his duty. I want to be frank, gentlemen. You cannot get a body of men of absolutely uniform good conduct, but I am able to say it was my good fortune to see the role of duty performed in a way that made a man proud to be an American and a fellow citizen of such people. "Your business here at West Point has been to teach men to do well in war, but it is a noteworthy fact that you have also taught them to do well in peace. The highest political positions in the land have been held, not excep tionally, but again and again bv West Pointers. Colonel Mills, I make the answer that any man, who is asked the question must make when I say that, while we would have the right to expect that West Point would do well, we could not have expected that she would have done so very well as she has done. '.Applause.) 'I found in my regiment that the best man vas the man who had been in the regular army in active service out in western campaigning on the plains; that if he had been a good man in the regu lar army out on the plains, he was the best man that I could get hold of; and, on the other hand, if he had served in time of peace a couple of years in an eastern garrison, he practically had next to nothing outside of the parade ground and barracks to do, or if he had been in an ordinary national guard reg iment, that one of two things was true it' he had understood that he had only learned 5 per cent of war he was that 5 per cent better than any one else, and that was a big advancement, -and if he had thought that he had learned tha other 9.". per cent he was worse than any "lie else. (Laughter and applause.) "I recollect pt.rXets.ij one man w'.,o had been a. corporal in the regular army, a young fellow who had joined us, and he was apparently convinced that war in. Hicety was a parade ground for maneuvering, and it was al most impossible to make him turn his attention to teaching his men so that they could do the best fighting when the occasion arose. "Now. gentlemen, I do not intend to preach to you on the performance of your duties here, but it is your special business to learn them. I do ask you to remenber the difference in the mil itary profession from what it has been in the past and to remember continual ly that soldiership does not consist of excellence on parade ground, but effi ciency in actual service in the field, and that the usefulness, and really great usefulness of the parade grounds and barracks work comes in its being used, not as an end, but as one of the ele ments to the end. I ask you to remem ber that I do not ask you to remember what you can't forget, the lesson of loyalty, of courage,, of steadfast adher ence to the highest standards of honor which all men draw in when they breathe the atmosphere of this great in stitution." The orator of the day was General Horace Porter, ambassador to France. The secretary of war' was the last speaker. HEW FAST MAIL Will Cut Off Eight Hours Be tween New York and St. Louis. Washington.June 12 The fastest daily mail service ever attempted between New York and eastern cities and St. Louis and western points is provided for in arrangements made by the postofnee department, effective next Sunday. The contract calls for a daily schedule of hours between New York and St. Louis over the Pennsylvania railroad Beginning Sunday a fast mail train will leave New York at 2:45 a. m. daily and arrive at St. Louis at 2:15 o'clock Mon day morning. This shortens the present schedule between New York and St. Louis by about right hours and practi cally menns a gain of a day for eastern mail bound to far western points. The early arrival at St. Louis permits con nection with all the fast early morning trains out of there, including the heavy mails dispatched at 3 o'clock, and the service largely expedites the delivery of the morning papers of the east. Gotham Pisht Talk. New York. June 12.

IRRIGATION VOTE. ilouse Decides to Act on the Senate Bill After Two Days Have Been Spent on Its Discussion. UNANIMOUS CONSENT Is Secured For Consideration of Bankruptcy Act. Taylor Investigation Resolution Goes to Committee. Washington, June 12. When the Ifcuse met today Mr. Ray (N. Y.) chair man of the judiciary committee, asked unanimous consent that Monday after tha consideration of bills under suspen sion of the rules and Tuesday be set apart for the bill to amend the bank ruptcy act. There was no objection and the order was made. Mr. Dalzell then presented a special order for the consideration of the sen ate irrigation bill, one day for general debate and one day for amendment un der the 5-minute rule. Pending the adoption of the rule Sat urday was substituted for Friday for the consideration of private pension bills and the order setting, aside Sunday June 1, for eulogies on the life and character of the late Representative Cummings of New York was modified so as to continue the session on that day in order to permit eulogies upon tho late Representative Otey of trginia. Mr. Robinson (Ind.) opposed the adoption of the rule for the considera tion of the irrigation bill. He declared that the bill would be beneficial to the arid land states and dangerous to all the others. He criticised severely the action of the Democratic congressional committee in adopting a resolution favoring the irrigation bill. He de clared that the committee was without jurisdiction and had no power to bind Democratic members. The whole scheme was undemocratic, he asserted, and was in the interest of land grant railroads. Mr. Underwood favored the adoption of the rule. He argued that the only method of building up the arid land states was tcvprovide for their irriga tion. The bill would not take a dollar out of the treasury, he said. It w-ould only use the proceeds of the sale of the lands in each state for the benefit of such state. Mr. Shafroth (Colo) also argued for the adoption of the rule. Mr. Newlands (Nev.) also supported the rule. The resolution theri was adopted without division. The house resolved itself into committee of the whole, Mr. Tawney (Minn.) in the chair, and entered tipon consideration of the irrigation bill. It was arranged that Mr. Mondell (Wyo.) should control the time for the measure and Mr. Ray (N. T.) against it. IN THE SENATE. Washington, June 12. At the conclu sion of routine business in the senate today a resolution introduced by Mr. Carmaek (Tenn.) directing the commit tee on civil service and retrenchment to investigate the discharge from the war department of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor, a clerk in that department, was called up. On motion of Mr. Piatt (Conn.) the resolution was referred to the committee on civil service. The resolution introduced yesterday by Mr. Culberson (Tex.) directing the secretary of war to send to the senata an itemized statement of the expendi tures made from the Cuban funds from the time of American occupation to May 1 of this year, was taken up. Mr. Piatt (Conn.) explained that the investigation was being compiled in the war depart ment and the resolution was sent to the calendar. TO MAKE CLARK AN ADMIRAL. Representative Foss of Illinois, chair man of the committee on naval affairs, today, introduced in the house a bill to authorize the president to nominate Charles E. Clark to be a rear admiral of. the senior trade on the active list. LOOKED FOR SUBSIDY' BILL. There was an unusually large attend ance at the meeting today of the house committee on merchant marine and fish eries as it was expected that the ship subsidy bill might be considered with a view to its being reported to the house. The subject was not brought up. how ever, and arrangement was made for a further hearing of Mr. Furuseth, repre senting labor bodies, in relation to pro visions affecting sailors. A MEMORIAL TO THE HOUSE. Washington. June 12. Representative McCall of Massachusetts today present ed to the house a memorial signed by Charles Francis Adams, Andrew Car negie, Carl Schurz, Edwin Rurritt Smith and Herbert Welsh, asking that a congressional committee of investiga tion be appointed to go .to the Philip pines and report on the conditions there. Mr. Carnegie's signature was author ized by cable. The memorial is dated at Boston and states that the signers are a commit tee appointed at a recently held meet ing of persons, irrespective or party, in terested in the policy pursued by the United States toward the Philippines. Consideration was then resumed of the London dock charges bill. Mr. Piatt (Conn.) remarked that it was difficult to ascertain what was sought by the bill. Mr. Nelson (Minn.) explained the provisions of -the bill to which Mr. Plait called attention. Mr. Piatt further held that the ques tion jiresc-nted was not a subject of national legislation. Mr. Mallory (Fla.) advocated the pas sage of the bill, although he was not certain that the shippers would reap very great benefit from it. Mr. Hale maintained that this at tempt to force the United States to put its hand in a trade between the two parties competent to- make an agree ment was a ruthless exercise of legisla tive power and ought not to be counte nanced. It was an absurd proposition. Mr. Snooner contended that it had been the custom of congress to regulate bills of lading in both interstate and foreign commerce. He declared that the common carrier "took the shipper by the throat" and the latter was compelled t sign the bill of lading containing the "fine print conditions" under practical duress, with a knowledge that he could not hav,e his goods shipped unless he agreed to the terms proposed. At 2 o'clock the London dock charges bill went over and the Isthmian canal project was taken up. Mr. Morgan spoke for the Nicaragua bill. Pueblo Brick Works Damaged. Pueblo. Colo., June 12. The Standard Fire Pressed Brick works, north of this city, were damaged today by fire to the amount of J150.000. The loss is nearlj covered by insurance. TO PUNISH COLE. Barton Forces Are Planning to Even Things. Claim They Were Not Treated Right by Auditor. USE TAX COMMISSION. Cole's Friends Will Try to Make Two Members Appointive. This Would Give Him One of the Places. "When the tax bill commission meets la Topeka June 1& Senator Fred Dumont Smith, champion long-distance talker of Kansas, will endeavor to have the biil changed in order to give the governor the power to appoint the two members of the tax commission instead of allowing the executive council to select the commission. This will bring the Burton forces into the light and they will endeavor to have the bill as prepared for submission to the next legislature provide for the selection, to rest with the executive council. The fight of the Burton forces on Geo. Cole, present state auditor, is respon sible for the stand that Senator Smith will take. The Burton forces are fighting Cole at every turn in the road. They now say that he did not tote fair in the race for the nomination for governor. On the, other hand Cole says that he did act fair ly and that he stayed with his friends. The Burtonites now say, since the convention is over, that if Cole had stayed in the race that they, would have swung their support from Tro'utman to him and thereby defeat ed Bailey. Because of this the Burton forces, direct ly under the leadership of Frank Grimes, are working for the political overthrow of Cole. Th$y believe that he will be one of the Bailey candidates for a position on the tax commission. It is generally believed in political circles that Bailey, if he has the power as governor to appoint the com missioners, would select Cole as one of them. The Burton forces claim that they have enough members of the executive council with them to tie up the election of Cole. As the Republican ticket which was nominated stands, the Burton forces claim they would have Joel Burrow, nominated for secretary of state; C. C. Coleman, nominated for attorney general, and T. T. Kelly, nominated for state treasurer. They make no claims for the support of W. J. Bailey, nominated for governor; 1. L. Dayhoff, nominated for superintendent of public instruction, and Seth G. Wells, the nominee for state auditor. To defeat any possibility in the Burton forces having a say in the selection of the tax commissioners or in succeeding In that manner in overthrowing Cole, Senator Smith will make his effort to have the- appointive right given the governor. It is the plan to make the two commis sioners to be selected to act with the .at torney general, auditor and treasurer, sort of, officers with the dignity of the other ar&te officers and a a If? ,,r of $2,500 a year. A point which strenfct&enet thtr indica tions of a fight on Cole is that H. B. Miller of Osre City has announced himself as a candidate for governor in four years.when it is expected that Bailey will have served two terms. J. M. iJickey, editor of the Osage City Free Press, is the man at the head of the Miller organ, which is also a part of the Burton-Curtis combination. Editor- Mickey has attacked Cole in his paper and said that in pulling out of the race for governor and becoming chairman of the convention, he saved all but his honor. State Treasurer Grimes' office is the headquarters of the Burton, forces and there the overthrow of Coie is planned. It is also the headquarters for the planning of the Burton-Curtis campaign in the First district. It is understood by the poli ticians that the Burton-Curtis agreement in the First district is in working order and that the congressman and the senator from Kansas with their forces are working in each other's interests in the First dis-trict.- A. M. Kodgers, Congressman Curtis right hand man, and Frank Grimes. Bur ton's first lieutenant, have been in consul tation in Grimes' office. Part ofthe plan for the Burton forces to carry out Is ex pected to be a try for the chairmanship of the Republican state central committee. It has not been given out whether the Burton forces will attempt to secure the chairmanship or not. As the complexion of the committee is strongly Bailey it in considered doubtful if the Burtonites will make the atttmpt. and besides it is an established custom to allow the candidate for governor to select the chairman. High School Graduates Tictims of Recent Storm. Ies Moines. Ta., June 12. A sehoolhouse near Washington was destroyed by the re cent storm and nine high school graduates who had sought shelter in the building were buried in the ruins. Eight were in jured, two ot" them perhaps fatally. The injured: Mildred McAtlin. chest crushed, several bones broken and eyes fdled with mortar, causing blindness; will die. Charles Chance, collar bone broken, bad lv crushed: recovery doubtful. Myrtle Stewart, bruised badly about the head and face. Blanche Stewart, shoulder dislocated; head cut; bruised. Myrtle Shields, leg injured; severely bruised. Bessie Klein, back wrenched; badly cut. Gertie Reeves, face cut. Mary Jarrard, ankle dislocated; severe flesh wounds. The party was returning to Washington in a wagon from a picnic that had been held to celebrate their graduation. Wire communication with Washington was de stroyed two days ago and news of the ac cident' reached here today. LOOSENS VP ON 17,000,000. Court Dissolves Injunction Against Removal of Plant Trust Fund. Waterbury. Conn, June 12. Judge Robinson of the superior couurt has handed down a decision dissolving the injunction which restrained the execu tors of the Plant will from removing the $17,000,000 trust furrd from Connecti cut to New York, except that $13,000, the amount of the lepracy to which Charles K. Koadley of this city is entitl ed, as representing his children, must remain in this state according to the decision of Julge Robinson, which find:; that the Hoadiey heirs are collateral kindred, being sons of a half brother ot the testator and as such they have a collateral interest in the estate. He does not find, however, that according to the will they are in any way interested in the distribution- of the S17, 000.000 'trust fund in the event of the dec-ease of the beneficiary mentioned in the will. Morgan Starts For Venice. London. June 12. J. P. Morgan left London today for Venice by way of Paris. ATI0I1 ELECTED, Candidates in Third District Agree on Chairman. All Line Up For the Bitter Con test. LEADERS ALL THERE Watching the Fight Great Interest. With Nominating Speeches Are Made This Afternoon. Winfield, Kan., June 12. When the Third district congressional convention opened at 10:45 this morning the situa tion was apparently no nearer a head than it was a month ago. Each of the four candidates declared he would stay in the race to the end aid all efforts at O. P. EGENBRIGHT, Of Montgomery County. combinations were fruitless. The convention met in the pavilion in Island Park, a large structure open at the sides and as the opening hour approached an-apparently violent storm came up from the southwest. Gusts of wind and dust swept through the pa vilion; but for this feature the hall would have been exceedingly pleasant. As had been previously agreed upon GEORGE W. WHEATLEY, Of Cherokee County. by the managers of the four candidates, J. M. Nation of Neosho county, was made chairman of the convention. He was chosen because Neosho county, the home of Seth Wells, nominee for state auditor, will divide its vote equally be tween the four candidates, and is sup posed to show no partiality. As the morning- progressed the wind and dust subsided a littie. The pavilion is lo cated at the north end of Main street, a wide dust avenue, and when the wind blows from the south the dust has full sweep of the pavilion. P. P. CAMPBEUU Of Crawford County. A number of Republican leaders from other parts of the stote are here. Morton Albaugh. Cvrus Inland. J. C. O. Morse and Judge W. R. Smith came down last night as guests of Judge Pollock, but are taking no part in the caucuses. W. H. SPROUL. Of Chautauqua County. This morning Gov. Stanley. H. J. Al len and W. Y. Morgan arrived. Sleeping room was at a premium last night and many visitors had to go to pri vate houses. Wben C. A. McNeill, chairman of the ft J w 1 w congressional committee, called the convention to order in calling for the reading of the official call, he said: "The call will be read by the secre tary, Seth G. Wells, who incidentally will be the next state auditor." This brought out a few cheers. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. .George Smith, pastor of the Win field Christian church, i After the temporary organization had been- effected, the usual committees were selected, composed of one member from each county, after which, conven tion adjourned till 1:30. D. .1. Moore of Chautauqua, wanted the nomination speeches to be made be fore dinner, but the convention seemed afraid of hurrying things too much. It was nearly 2 o'clock when the con vention assembled again after dinner. The committees reported and tem porary organization was made per manent. The resolutiotiS committee was still at work and while waiting for it, the convention proceeded with the presen tation of candidates. Tom Botkin, of Cherokee county, presented the name of George W. Wheatlev. "All the world," he paraphrased, "loves a fighter, and the man whom I shall name is a born fighter." He told how Wheatley had risen from a farm hand to his present position. D. H. Wooley named P. P. Campbell, of Crawford county. chishamTalied For Reappointment as master at At?hison. Post- D. R. Anthony, Jr., is Super seded With Fred Willard. Washington, June 12. Congressman Curtis today recommended the reap pointment of J. M. Chisham as post master at Atchison. There were three old soldier candidates and Mr. Curtis gave it out that he did not appoint one of them because they were unable to agree among themselves. Mr. Curtis today also recommended the appointment of P'red Willard to be postmaster at Leavenworth, thus de posing U. R, Anthony, jr. This action follows exactly the course as outlined in the State Journal of Tuesday evening. Mr. Curtis decided that to carry Atchison county it was rlecessary to reappoint Chisham but he concluded that be does not need the Anthonys to carry Leavenworth county on account of his strong hold with the old soldiers. This action is all the outgrowth of Mr. Curtis becoming entangled with the Burton faction at Wichita. He told D. R. Anthony, Jr., who is postmaster at Leavenworth that he would not be re appointed unless he voted part of the delegation for Greer for chairman. An thony refused. Mr. Curtis made nearly the same statement to Chisham who also refused. CANT GET-CURBING. Contractors Have Trouble to Secure Stone For Streets. There is every Indication that the fight between curbing contractors on East Fourth avenue will very soon come to an issue, and that either Ram sey Ramsey will be forced out of the curbing field of competition, or that other contractors in the city will be obliged to recognize a new factor in the competitive bidding for Fort Scott sand stone curb. So far, Ramsey Ramsey have been unable to make rood their promises, and the curbing has been received in small quantities and inferior to speci fication requirements. One-third of the last car load was found by City Engi neer McCabe to be half an inch too thin, and was rejected. The city engineer states that unless Ramsey Ramsey have a large quan tity of curbing on the ground by next council meeting, June IS, the council will probably consider the question of w hat to do to secure better service. The situation is simplv this: Ramspv Kamsey attempted to enter the Fort Scott sandstone curbing contract and proposed to get their curbing from a new cjuarrv. By submitting a low bid they secured the contracts for a lot of work in Topeka. Meantime the old curbing contractors were in a fight among themselves. R. B. Kepley, the agent for iJrake Gil Jill an, who own the largest Fort Scott quarries, moved out of town, and V. M. Gilmore se cured a contract with Drake. GilriHan to take Kepley's place. Kepley .-however, had no notion of giving up the agency and hired Fred Webster to do the work for him. Suit was commenced by Kepley against Drake Gilhllan, and the com pany was forced to call off its contract with Gilmore. That made Gilmore mad and he is now threatening suit against Drake Giltillan. But Kepley's (Irm went on the warpath after Ramsey Ramsey and bought the qurrv front which Ramsey Ramsey expected to obtain their curbing. The Qutsttin is now whether Ramsey Ram sey can get the curbing they have agreed vo furnish. They claim to have a con tract for furnishing the stone which will save them, but the other contractors assert that Ramsey Ramsey will have to throw up the contract at a heavy loss. CALL FOR HARVEST HANDS. Six Counties Report They "Will Need Men. i The wheat harvest in western Kansas will commence in a short time. The dates announced for the harvests so far vary in the different counties from June IS to 30. Superintendent Gerow, of the free em ployment agency, expects that the rail roads will make a harvest rate from Kansas points in a short time. So far but six counties have announced that outside help will be needed for harvest ing. Barton county calls for from 500 to 1,500 men. The harvest there will be gin from June 20 to 24. Rush county estimates that 1,000 men will be re quired June 25. Pawnee county has called for 200 men on June 30. Edwards county wants 200 men June 18 to 20. Pratt county wants 1.500 men from the 18th to 20th. Dickinson county has sent in an estimate of 200 men wanted June 20. Kochambeaus Sail For Home. New- York. June 12. The Count and Countess Rochambeau sailed for France on the steamship La Lorraine today. "I cannot say too much for the' mag nificent receptions which have been given to myself and the countess since we have been here," said the count on the steamship. "Never did I expect such flattering treatment, and I hope some day to be able to do something in return." shot at do; Parties in Ambush Fire on a Locomotive Bearing a Mine Superintendent From the Works. 10 SHOTS WERE FIRED. Engine Was Running Rapidly and Soon Out of Range. President Mitchell Says Strike Will Be Won. the Wllkesbarre Pa., June 12. It was learned at the office of the Lehigh Val ley Coal company today that an at tempt was made last night on the life of Superintendent Thomas of the Wil liam A. colliery of the Lehigh Valley company at Old Forge, north of this city. For the last four days crowds have been gathering each morning ami evening on a hill which overlooks tha colliery and throwing stones at the men at work within the enclosure. The day and night superintendents do not live in the colliery as do many of the other employes and they are taken to and from the colliery on a locomotive. Last night the night superintendent rode to the colliery safely. A few min utes later Superintendent Thomas came out and when about 300 yards from the breaker, he says, a number of men who were in ambush opened fire on the locomotive. Fortunately the en gine was traveling rapidly and it waa soon out of range. The officials say about ten shots were fired. The miners' union is doing everything possible to have their men keep the peace. This was pay day at all the Lcmign Valley collieries in the Wyoming valley for the engineers, firemen and pump men, fire bosses, clerks and other com pany employes for the last two weeks of May. Most of the engineers, firemen, and pump men are now on strike. The pay cars are well guarded by coal and iron police. MITCHELL IS CONFIDENT. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 12. "'Well, gentlemen, the anthracite strike is com plete and we are going to win." This emphatic statement was made to the assembled newspaper correspond ents by President Mitchell in his office at strike headquarters. With reference to the soft coal striki? in West Virginia, Mr. Mitchell said: "At present there are 23.500 mini workers on strike in the West Vircitii.t field. Reports from Virginia, v.-ht-: there are 3,600 mine workers, are in complete, and I therefore can not s.iv anything as to the situation in 'h;'" state. I think we will win that strik 1 too. The suspension in West Virgin i will. cut off a. large amount of soft c o:,l that is shipped to the Atlantic Biwhimi"'. but there is no connection between the anthracite strike here and the bitumin ous suspension there. I received weed from West Virginia this morning t':at National Board Member William Mor gan and Organizers Haggerty, Spriifaer, Noon, Pogganni and Edwards were ar rested in Fairmount today for alleged violation of an injunction granted the operators. I do not know the exact pur pose of injunction, but I believe the arrests were made on the strength of an injunction granted in 1S97. I have wired to employ counsel, give bond and have the injunction dissolved." With the exception of a gatherinsr of a crowd at the -William colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal company Dur yea, the entire Wyoming valley was very quiet today. The operators and mining superintendent who consented to talk today said there was no change in the situation. MILITARY GUARD Is Necessary to the Running oT Cars in Pawtucket. Pawtucket, R. I..

GOLD HEELS FAVORITE Cream of the Handicap Division Will Be Out. Eiues Mas Sliown a Mean Sulk ing Temper. New York, June 12. As the hour of the great Suburban handicap draws near there Is the usual narrowing down of the probable field. Yesterday there were just fourteen prospective starters. This morning there are found an even dozen. Dixie Line and Oom Paul have since declined the issue. The field which will face Starter Fitzgerald will not number more than ten horses. However, they will be the cream of the handicap division and perfectly fit. Turfmen say that the bis handicaps have been overcrowded and that with a field of ten the Suburban will be a right royal race. Clarence Maekay today announced that Trigger would start sure. Trainer Hill arranged with Tom McDowell for Buchanan's services, so that the Van derbilt Jockey will have the lea; UP on Trigger. Alec Shields announces that Buliman will displace Burns on Advance Guard. Burns will pilot Whitney's Blue Girl. Blue Girl'B original allotment was 104 pounds, but some doubt exists as to the penalty impost for winning the Ladies at Morris Park. Roeharnpton's impost ia 117 pounds, so that there is a strong lliJeIihood of Koehampton's declaration. Sadie S. is not likely to start. Today the horses most generally fancied are: Gold Heels, Advance Guard and Pentecost- Despite Owner Roliins' statement o the con trary, owners and trainers resrard Her bert as distinctly out of it. Odom will ride him. There is also an aversion to Blues, whom Shaw will ride. The Far rel horse has shown a mean, sulking temper and an In and out way of run ning. Gold Heels will be ridden by Wonderly. He went a mile and a quar ter today in 2:09. TJTJEFEY ABROAD. Marvelous Little Sprinter Hopes to Win in England. New York, June 12. Arthur F. Duff ey, Georgetown's marvelous sprinter, who lowered the world's 100-yard record to S 3-5 seconds at Berkeley Oval on Sat urday, will sail for England on the Etruria June 14. He will be accompan ied by W. F. Thompson, graduate man ager of Georgetown university. Speak ing of his plans while abroad, last night, Duffey said: "I propose to place the English hun dred yard record at 9 3-5 at the corona tion games on July 5 if it is possible for me to do so. I do not think that it is in any human body to do 9 2-5 seconds, though one watch gave that time at the oval Saturday. "I will run my first race at Wolver hampton on June 2S. The next meet at which I will compete will be the big event at Stamford Bridge in the su burbs of London, where the coronation games will be held and the all-empire championships decided. "I am not sure as to how I will run in England. One feels stronger over there, but the speed does not seem to come so easily. "Mr. Thompson and I will stay abroad all summer, and I mean to compete wherever there are games in England, Ireland and Scotland. A good many championship events are held every sea son, and I will have ample opportunity to meet the best sprinters abroad. "I hope to do as well in England, but I hardly think I can. Everything must be right for record sprinting. I was worked up to it, and the fact that Schick and Cadogan beat me in the start made me run better, though my legs shook when I awaited the pistol." Duffey weighs 133 pounds and is 5 feet 7 inches in height. This is his last year in athletics, as he will gradu ate next year. McEadden Will Keet Gans. San Francisco, June 12. Geo. McFad den, the New York lightweight, who has been matched to box Joe Gans, the col ored champion, the latter part of this month, arrived here last night. He was accompanied by his trainer, Billy Roche. McFadden is much disappointed. He came out with the expectation of boxing Jimmy Britt, but upon hi3 arrival learned Gans had been substituted. Mc Fadden was not slow to vent his feel ings. He said he had come out here on a wild-goose chase. He claims the Hayes Valley Athletic club matched him to fight Britt and haa failed to live up to its agreement. McFadden said he would not box Gans unless the latter enters the ring at the lightweight limit, 133 pounds. He claims Gans has hard work making the weight, and he will insist on his coming down to it. Gans is on his way and should reach hers in a few davs. Arena Tor the Big Fight. San Francisco, June 12. Manager Alec Greggains has signed a contract for the erection of a building at Va lencia and Fourteenth streets, in which to bring off the championship battle be tween Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. The new structure "will be immediately op posite Woodward's pavilion. It will be of wood and large enough to accommo date 15,000. Gregsralns thinks the cost of this building will be far less than the price which the people who control the Machanics' pavilion wish to charge for its rental. He further stated that seats in the gallery will be sold for $5 each, and chairs close to the ring will be dis posed of for prices that are higher, but reasonable. Odom to Bide Eerxo. Pittsburg, Pa.. June 12. Captain Sam Brown, Pittsburg's millionaire turfman. an nounced today that he, had given his con sent to Jockey Georee Odom riding Keno in the American Derby. "I have been compelled to delare my horse Hyphen, from the Derby because he lias developed a splint," said the Pitts burger. Captain Brown has joined the ranks of Belmont, Whitney and other turfmen and bought a little farm near Lexington. Kv., where he will Vreetl his own racing tools, lire has bought 3?7 ftcres about seven miles from Lexington, paying over S.fj.OeO for tile tract. He will keep Troubadour and Garry Herrmann as sires and a rare lot of brood mares, including Matinee, Mona, etc., at the place, and w. A. Eamueison will be the farm manager. Bacing at Latocia. Cincinnati, June 12. Alard. from the stable of S. C. Hildreth, shipped from Chicago for the occasion, won the Mer chants' stakes for 3-year-oid3 and up wards, at Latonia. A field of eight faced the starter and there w&3 a, dei-t-y of half an hour at the post. After sev eral attempts to get them away, Jessie Jarboe broke out to a false break and ran away two miles and a half before being stopped. Alard, who was the last away when the flag dropped, was held in reserve by Jockey Birkenrath until the stretch was reached. Here Silk Cork, who had been leading all the way, died 'out under a terrific pace, and Aiard has no trouble getting under the wire first by two lengths. He was go ing away at the finish. Jim Clark, un der a vigorous ride, got the place by a head fro-n Alfred Vargrave. Jim Clark and Jack Ratkin were coupled as the Gorman entry and made favorites at 2 to 1 in the betting. The race tvas run in the fast time of 1:044- Alard, who was entered at JfiUO, was bid up to $2,500 by P. J. Gorman and retained by the owner. Smithers Would Bet $50,000. Detroit, Mich., June 12. On more than one occasion last season E. E. Smithers, of New York, and Thomas W. Lawson. of Boston, locked horns In the betting ring on the trotting tracks, and the in evitable result was that Mr. Smithers was betting when Mr. Lawson had his fill. During the winter they matched their great trotters, Lord Derby and Boralma. to race for $10,0f0 a side at Hartford on August 2. and Mr. Smithers who is still at the Hotel Cadillac, thinks so well of Lord Derby' that he has wired to -the copper magnate- that he will be pleased to increase the stake for this event to $50,000, which will be the greatest amount in the history of match racing. The reply is still awaited. NATIONAL LEAGUE. AT PHILADELPHIA. Philadelphia defeated Cincinnati in a light hitting and faultless fielding game. Attendance. 1.05O. Score bv Innings: R.H.E.

Jealous Neighbors Term It "Downs' Annual Drunk." Campaign Orators Will Be Wel comed That Day. Downs, Kan., June 12. Downs is making arrangements to celebrate her twenty-third anniversary on July 28, 1902. A large delegation of her citizens met at the city hall and decided' to nold the regular anniversary ceieora tion as usual. Ever since the first one in 1S79, when Senator John J. Ingalis delivered the address, .until the present time there has been no lack of interest, but continually increasing, both in in terest and numbers until it has grown to a mammoth affair and the envy of all neighboring towns on account of the. great gatherings present from time to time. So much so that the local editors of the adjacent villages have stigma tized the celebration as the "Downs Annual Drank." Yet the fact of the matter is that no other town with as large a celebration crowd from all parts of the state could manage and control such gatherings In a more orderly and successful manner. This will be a good year for some of the candidate orators of the state to get acquainted with the people in north west Kansas, Downs has two goods bands, one a young ladies' band, and one of the best band stands in the state. The officers of the celebration com mittee for this year are: Jim E. Davis, president; J. W. Pugh, secretary; D. H. Harrison, treasurer; A. Jackson and Capt. E. M. Jones, officers of the day. All the committees have been appointed and are at work to make this July 28th celebration a grand success. MYSTEBIOUS MESSAGES. CoL A. J.

Wichita, Kan., June 12 John Duncan, a negro, was arrested here last night charged with killing his wife by beat ing her. She died at 5 o'clock, appar ently of spinal meningitis, but an ex amination revealed several bruises and two broken ribs. The fact that Duncan disappeared after his wife's death aroused suspicion. Harvest in Dickinson. Abilene, Kan., June 12. The harvest ing of soft or May wheat has begun in this county and other counties of central Kansas. The farmers are find ing the heads well developed with heavy kernels, even while the straw is thin on the ground, making a yield far in excess of what was expected a few weeks ago. Many fields in this county will yield 15 to 18 bushels, though the average will not be that high. There is good reason to expect at least 1.000,000 bushels of wheat in this county, or one halt that of last season and twice what IndisputableEvidence. You have read cur oft-repeated statement, "In use for over 30 years." .It was in the early, sixties that Dr. Pitcher first made use of the prescription new universally known as Castoria. With a record of over fifty, tinder five years of &ce, out of every hundred 'deaths, it was the AMBITION OF EVERY PHYSICIAN "to discover a remedy suitable for the ailments cf infants and children that would decrease this distressing mortality. In Gastoria that relief has been found. Let us take the statistics covering the deaths in the City of New York for the past 30. years, and here we find the benificent effects of a combination of drags excluding opiates and narcotics so long sought for, namely CASTORIA. Of the total number of deaths in. New York City in 1870, 50 per cent were under five years of age; in 1880, 48 per cent.; in 1890, 40 psr cent.; ia ISOO, 35 per cent. oniy. Just stop to think of it. Until 1897 no counterfeits or imitations of Castoria appeared on drug store shelves, but since that date Mr. Fletcher has been called upon to suppress a number of these frauds. While the record for 1900 does not' come down to our expectation it is owing to the carelessness of mothers when buying Castoria. The signature of Chas. H. Fletcher is the only safeguard, and he alone is authorized to use the doctor's name.

Non-union men trier to go to work but were overpowered by the strikers. Hlows were struck, but no one was serl ousiy injured. A number of non-union men have been shipped in. but they will likely not go to work without opposi tion from the, strikers. The company has asked for deputy Vnited States marshals and expects to open the mines again even if a. fight is necessary. The conference is no nearer a settlement than a week ago, and a general strike is now expected at any time unless the situation changes soon. Sunday School Institutes. Abilene. Kan., June 12.

Many Women Have Catarrh of the Stomach and Do T T" T. iNot ivnow it. i Pe-ru-na Cures Catarrh Wherever Located For" the most acute cases of dyspepsia and the most chronic and stubborn cases of catarrh of the stomach Peruna. is an unfailing cure. Mr. E. F). Gaston, of Milton, Iowa, In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, says: "My wife has been sick with stomach trouble for almost three years. "During that time we doctored with three of the best doctors in this part of the country, but they did her no good. She fell off in flesh from 134 pounds to 80 pounds, and was unable to do any thing:; in fact, was confined to her bed a good jart of the time. Everything she ate she would throw up, even water. The laFt doctor we had examined her and said she had cancer of the stomach, and a 'd he could do her no good except to give her something to relieve the pain, and that he would not advise u to have an operation -performed. This coming from one whom I have always had great confidence in, you cannot imagine my feeling and thoughts. It was then we decided to quit doc toring and try Peruna, and from the beginning it helped her. She is now" able to do all the housework. She i gaining in flesh and I think will soon be back to her former weight. "To make a long story short, we owe her life to Peruna. for I am satisfie I had we not tried it she would now be in the grave."

AVOlliaG ON A PLAN. Some of the Important Rules to Be Enforced. Santa Fe Will Be Especially Benefited by the Change. Superintendent C. "W. Kouns of the transportation department of the Santa Fe, is now engaged in solving the pro blem of per diem in practice. Per diem in theory has been talked of for years, and written about for months in the newspapers. Finally, at the meet ing of the American Railway associa tion at New York on April 24, the plan was officially adopted and will go into actual operation on July 1. An elaborate code of rules was drawn up, and a com mittee was appointed to sit in arbitra tion on disputed points of interpreta tion. Since then, the superintendents of transportation have been busy explain ing to the minor officials, and the minor officials to the cierks. how to use the per diem system ,of collecting for the use of freight cars by other lines. TVhen asked, today as to the effect which the change in system would have on the work in his department, Mr. Kouns said: "Of course the per diem system will have the effect of changing to some ex tent our methods of keeping books, but I do not expect that any very material difference will be made. The object of the rules is to secure the prompt return of freight cars.- At present- the amount received from freight cars while in use on other lines is only, on an average of from 15 to IS cents a day. Under the per diem rules, the amount is 20 cents per day. Now the roads charge by the mileage made by the car, and it is easy to have a great deal of equipment tied up with grain waiting for transfer, and the road owning the cars gets nothing for the cars while so in use. The amount we receive from mileage on freight cars does not pay the cost ot repairs. It would be impossible to en ter into a detailed explanation of the per diem system. It requires study to master it in its details." There are some of the new rules of per diem charge which are of especial im portance. One is on the list as No. 5. It is as follows: "An arbitrary amount for each car in switching service may be reclaimed by the switching line from the road for which the service was performed. This amount shall be based upon the average number of days actually required, and de termined by the roads directly interest ed for each local teritory." This rule will prove of benefit to the Kansas City Belt, which is a switching road, and which is owned by the Santa Fe. There is another important rule to pre vent a road from stealing equipment dur ing the rush of the season, and using some other road's cars for its own freight. The rule is as follows: "In case a road delivers an empty freight car without the consent of the owner, to a road which does not pay per diem, or if a road permits the loading or reeonsigning of a foreign car without the consent of the owner to such a road, it shall be responsible to the owner for the payment of an amount equal to the per diem accruing on the car while on such road. "When a road refuses or fails to prompt ly receive from a connection cars upon which it has laid no embargo, it shall be responsible to the connection for the per diem on cars so held for delivery, includ ing the per diem on the home car of such conection. If such refusal or fail ure to receive shall continue for more thafSrthree days, the delinquent line shall thereafter in addition be responsible for the per diem on all cars in transit which ar thus held back for delivery. It shall be the duty of a road intending to reclaim such per diem allowed to notify the de linquent line daily of the number of cars bo held by it." The rule orovides for a system of reports bv which the location of cars can be as certained, and the amount per diem can be figured out. The new rules will be of especial ben efit to the Santa Fe because the Santa Fe is rnther short on freight car equip ment. The Santa Fe now has about 35,e"0 freight cars in service. There are about 1.500o freight cars owned by members of the American Rail way Association, and the gross amount of exchange rate under the new per diem plan would be J30O.I1OO a day if all were affected. It is estimated that about tiO per cent of the freight cars remain on their home roads. J0BES IS HOME. Says Santa Fe Declared Its Semi Aunual 2 1-2 Per Cent Dividend. Wichita, Kan., June 12. A. C. Jobes has returned from New York, at which place he attended a meeting of the di rectors of the Santa Fe. He says tr.e business of the road makes a good show ing. Mr: Jobes says that the meeting de clared a dividend of 2 per cent on the preferred stock. This is done semi annually, making 5 per cent a year. The common stock now earns 4 per cent per annum, which puts the old Santa Fe in pretty good position. In spite of the failure of crops last year, the gross earnings of the Santa Fe. were about $4,000,0(10 over those of 1901. The common stock five years ago was selling on the market for 5 to 10 per cent of its par value and two years ago for 20 per cent, and now it sella for SO cents. Some of the speculators might have been wearing diamonds if thev had stayed by the Santa Fe. When asked if the directors talked about doing anything for Wichita, Mr. Jobes said there were too many towns on the Santa Fe for the directors to talk about them. The matter of adjusting freights is left entirely with the officers who operate the lines. No Special Favors For Wichita. The Rock Island yesterday gave notice that, effective June 23, it would with draw the jobbing rates out of Wichita, of which complaint had been made bv -Kansas City shippers. Under these rates, Wichita houses had an advantage in the southwest over their Kansas City competitors, who petitioned the road for relief. This action on the part of the Rock Island restores conditions to the old basis. Died on Eve of "Wedding. Sedalia, Ma, June 12. W. H. Parsons. 27 vears old, agent for the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific road at Holton, Kan., died at the home of his parents at Lamonte, Mo., of diabetes. He was to have been married to Miss Martha Drake of Hoiton on the day following that of his death. Cloudcroft Agent Hurt. The Alamogordo News ays: A. Walker.the Rock Island agent at Cloud croft, was very severely hurt Monday by being thrown from a horse." He had his face severely cut upon a sandstone and it was thought at first that he was injured internally, but fortunately this was not 'the case. He was brought to Alamogordo hotel wjiere the physi cian sewed up the bad cut in his faea and applied the X-ray to see what in-, ternal injury he may have sustained, but none were found. A TRANSCONTINENTAL SYSTEM Wonderful Eecent Development of the F.ock Island Route, The annual report of the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific Railway company submitted at the stockholders' meeting is for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1902, and therefore does not cover the important acquisitions and financial ar rangements which have recently hean carried thragh. Since that date the Rock Island has acquired the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulf railroad (issuing $24. 000,000 collateral trust 4 per cent bonds for the purpose) and also the St. Louis, Kansas City Colorado railroad. These two acquisitions materially enlarge the confines of the Rock Island system, and give it, in addition to its important terminus at Chicago, termini also at Memphis and St. Louis, though in th'S last instance it will be necessary to fill in first a gap of 120 miles of uncomple ted road. The Rock Island may be said to be de veloping into the proportions of a latge transcontinental system. This will ap pear particularly obvious when it is re called that, aside from the additions mentioned, th company has been build ing some large extensions; particularly the construction of the various pieces of road (some by means of independent companies organized for that purpose), forming the line to El Paso, where con nection is made on the one hand with the Southern Pacific for Pacific const points, and on the other hand with the Mexican Central for points In Mexico. The company somewhat earlier provid ed itself with a line through Oklahoma territory to Kort Worth in northern Texas. A few years ago the operations of the Rock Island were confined almost entirely to the territory between Chi cago and the twin cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) on the north and Kansas City and Denver on the south and west. The numerous additions and acquisi tions since then are greatly changing the character of the system, which is now becoming a potent factor in the railroad operations of the Southwest. HOCK ISLAND GETS MOKE, Immigration Pool to Agree to New Distribution of Spoils. J Members of the -advisory committee of the Western immigration bureau are in New York attending a meeting to reorganize the bureau and make it more satisfactory to all concerned. The Rock Island withdrew from the bureau and the New York immigrant clearing house a1 short time ago because the Southern Pacific was not a member, and it was dissatisfied with its per centage allotted under the pooling agreement. The Southern Pacific has agreed to join, and both it and the Santa Fe are wilting to give the Rook Island an additional share of the busi ness on account of its having established a through line to the coast via El Paso, Texas. KENDRICK IN EUROPE. He Will Return After June 15 and Future Plans Will Be Known. Latest reports regarding Third Vice President J. W. Kendrick indicate that he is in Paris, but will set sail for the United States to reach New York be tween June 15 and July 1. A little af ter the latter date he will arrive at Chi cago to assume the duties of his office. From good authority it is learned that his resignation has not yet been formal ly tendered, but from other sources the report came of his withdrawal in the first place, and there is no reason now to doubt that such action is contempla ted.

Many a man looks on at his wife's suffering willing to do anything to aid her and able to do nothing. i bometimes, however, the husband's attention is directed to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and its remarkable cures of womanly dis eases. He may not have much hope of a cure, but he is led to try the medicine, with the result that in almost every case there is a perfect and permanent cure. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures irregularity. It dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. As a tonic for women who are nervons, sleepless, worn-out and run-down "Fa vorite Prescription" is unequaled, "In answer to your letter I will say. my w5fe commenced to complain twenty years "ago, writes Lewis A. Miller, ex-Chief-of-Police. of 3 Prospect St., Weissport, Pa. We have tried the kiil of twelve cittereut doctors.

He has been in Topeka most of the time since. It Is no r.ew trick for the Noosho river to mak$- trouble for the Santa Fe similar to that which came with the heavy rains of last week. In lsy'7 a wash out just about like that of recent date occurred. Several miles above the intersection of the Santa Fe tracks with the stream there is a la goon dry ordinarily and tilled with a lux uriant growth of rushes and swamp gra, which, when the river ri.ses very high, fills with water and becomes a river in it self. When this happens the Santa Fe people always regard it as time to. be on the lookout for trouble. One of the hottest places in Topeka," is the Santa Fe blacksmith shop, although nobody ever pays any attention to the thermometer in this department and no one is ready to say just how high a bound the mercury takes. But within the last wek the men who are obliged to work over the fires and in thr smoke which comes from them have experienced more warmth than most people outside of th shops understand. The heat right now is not nearly to intense as it usually becomes, but Wednesday the following string- ot men did not show up for rhrtv and their absence Is directly attributable to-1 being almost overcome while on duty: Louis Purcellon.

Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly, each day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. The results at the Pennsylvania con vention indicate that Tom McXeal did the advance figuring for Elkin. Kansas has company. Pennsylvania has decided to go in for the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for the presidency in 2 To the long list of lost causes record ed in the world's history will now be added that of independence in South Africa. The question of the hour is, can en dorsements of candidates for the presi dency made in li02 be forced to do ser vice in 1904? The enterprising hold-up man has op ened the season with the evident inten tion of catching the harvest hand going and coming. The Quay band wagon has again been run over Uncle John Wanamaker. In cidentally Mark Hanna got it just above the shoulders. J. Pierpont Morgan has gone to Lon don to attend the coronation. He is liable to syndicate the whole business and have it pullet! off in America. The trouble between the sugar inter ests appears to be that the HavemeyerB no longer need the raw sugar duty while ti is very much required by the Oxnards. While the friends of the various isthmian canal routes are fighting it out the transcontinental railroads are get ting in their work of preventing any ca nal at ail. The Hill faction and the Cleveland faction of the Democratic party are about to unite in an effort to do up the Bryan faction. Harmony never was the Democracy's long suit. The Hoer general Pearson who ex pressed so much displeasure at our per mission of a Rritish camp at New Or leans, still thinks enough of us to be come au American citizen. Indianapolis News: There can be lit tle hope for the consumer in the event of the settlement of the coal strike, as it is shown that whenever the operators have consented to an increase in wages they have raised the price of coal, so as not only to make the consumers pay the bill, but also to increase their profit. The coal monopoly is about the worst ever. There was a time, when for bountiful crops and other measures of prosperity it was customary .to return thanks to the Creator of all, but the custom has gone out of fashion, at least it has done so among Pennsylvania Republican pol iticians. The platform adopted by the state convention declares that "the country has prospered and Pennsylvania with her great agricultural and indus trial interests has derived a- just meas ure of the benefits. For this we make acknowledgment to the wisdom and en ergy of our United States senators and representatives in congress." Is Provi dence no longer to have any standing except in Democratic states? CHANCES ON THE DANISH? PURCHASE. From the Washington Post. We have not yet entirely abandoned hope as regards the purchase of the Danish West Indies. Of course, to the ignorant outsider the situation seems complicated, but then again things are not always as bad as they look. When they tell us that a matter has to go be fore the Rigsdag and to receive the ap proval of boththe Landsthing and the Folkething, we at first experience a sense of gloomy apprehension. On the other hand, how do we know that the Landsthing and the Folkething will dis agree and so throw us out of the F;igs dag altogether? We do not know It. as a matter of fact. Then, why repine? Why, indeed! To tell the truth, after thinking it all over, we should never have thought of repining at any stage of the game if there were only the Rigs dag to consider. Rigsdag is a tough Httie word, but, after all, it is only the name of the Landsthing and Folkething when they come together. Something tie our congress, with iu senate suatl its house, and perhaps not a bit mora obstinate. To tell the truth, It la the Rigsret that gives us a chill. The Rigsret Is composed of persons ap pointed by the Landsthing and the" reg ular members of the Hoiesteret. thus giving the Landsthing another slap at you in case you square the Rigsdag. Here you begin to feel a sense of con fusion. You have worked, say, on the Landsthing: and the Folkething until the Rigsdag seems safe, when sudden ly the Rigsret comes along and throws you down. What is worse in such a case is that you will never know wheth er the blow came from the Landsthing or the Hoiesteret. Which, naturally, muddles you again. Nevertheless, al though this is not all, and notwith standing' the fact that the Statsraadet has to be settled with before the inci dent is closed, we still hope that tha sale of the islands will be negotiated. Something tells us that the Statsraadet and, the Rigsdag are well disposed, and that the Hoiesteret can be fixed if only the other members of the Rigsret will listen to reason. Anyhow, th'is is the way it looks -to us. If any one can make more of it, we shall be glad to hear from him. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. You can't see yourself getting old, but young people can. An Atchison man who has a irl 17 years old, wants to trade her for a girl "three years old. The rich have their cares and occupa tions, the same as the poor; one is, to keep a Panama hat white. When you get the reins in your hands a lot of things appear in the road you hadn't noticed before. Ever notice that most bar keepers are young men? The old fellows tire of the jokes that go with the business. A farmer, who is tired of having his horses scared by automobiles, will shoot ritle balls through the rubber tires. This is the time of the year that the average man, if his wife would let him, would sell all the stove3 in the house for a bath tub. If you hope to prosper, you will find it necessary to work as usual during hot weather. That is, unless you are imposing on some one. You will hear mothers discuss for hours remedies for their babies with the measles, but does one ever suggest a remedy for a baby who is in love? "Is this," inquired, an idle man today, and who evidently wanted to make the most of his opportunity to be disagree able, "hot enough for you?" An Atchison woman made a warm spot on Commercial street this afternoon by holding her dress skirt very high and exposing a pair of very bright red stockings. The best thing that can happen to a man over 50. is to find a chance to make money and improve it, for it is at a time when he will have enough sense to save. The Young Things these days expect a five-pound box of candy, though thosii we used to know were pleased with a candy heart with an appropriate motto on it. An Atchison man will give up his job and look for ope in another town to escape from a woman oid enough to be his mother, but active enough to chase him hard. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Enter the June bride. The mother tongue is not strictly con fined to the mother-in-law. When it conies to the apple of dis cord, man usually gets the core. Some1 people consider poverty no dis grace so long as they can borrow. It is well enough to seek the truth if you can tell it when you find it. It is a mistake to infer that the peo ple who send "regrets" are "all liars. It takes two to make a quarrel, and generally five or six to patch it up. A girl doesn't believe a fellow is ser iously in love unless be acts foolishly. A woman is never satisfied until she ruffles a man's temper, just to see how ha will act. Lots of men who never accomplish anything take it out in bragging about their ancestors. Wireless telegraphy would cease to be a nine-days' wonder if we could only get wireless politics. Wigg "Did you ever read 'The Sor rows of Satan'?" Wagg "No; I have trouble enough of my own." Harduppe "Did you ever strike Ciosefist for a loan?" Borrowell "Strike Closefit? Why. that fellow wouldn't give up If lightning struck him." What's in a name? A Manayunk man married a girl for her money, and, al though her name was Rose, he discov ered that she didn't have a cent to her name. "I wish no pay for this poem," re marked the long-haired individual. "I submit it as a compliment." "Then per mit me to return the compliment," re plied the editor. Muggins "How have you managed to keep that oooklady of yours so long?" Buggins "Oh! I'm foxy. Every once in a while I make a bluff at trying to dis charge her, and then she makes up her mind to stay just for spite." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. A saint is never as white as he is painted. Rig feet seem ever so much, worse when they are cold. Either a woman loves you and says she doesn't or she doesn't and says she does. Maybe It is as bad to save money and have no place to spend it as it is to have the place but no money. What a man doesn't learn about wo men's clothes before he is married isn't worth while learning afterward. The way for a man to make a woman obey him is to find out what she wants to do and then make her do it. The people who taik philosophy and mental science when there is nothing the matter take castor oil and mustard plasters just as easily as the rest of us when there is. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Men and roosters sometimes lose their heads by crowing too soon. Only a mean man enjoys seeing an other man's wife smoke a cigarette. You can bottle up the truth for a time, but it eventually pops the cork. You may succeed in convincing a man against his will, but what's the use? When it comes to adversity or pros perity the average man prefers ruin by the latter route. One-half the world knows more about how the other half lives than it is will ing to confess. But few girls would refuse to share a young man's lot if it happened to be worth $1,000 a front foot. When a man is sick he wonders if there is another man on earth capable of continuing his business in. case be Bhuffies off. AT VlflFIELD. Balloting Begins at the Congres sional Convention. Winfteld, Kan., June 12. The resolu tions committee of the Congressional convention has reported. The resolu tions mourn the death of McKinlex, en dorse Roosevelt, the state administra tion, Republican members of congress,, and especially endorse the action of Roosevelt against .rusts. It asks for a liberal pension policy, puffs the armv, tells how the Republican party freed Cuba and pledges the candidate for congress to work for the benefit of the wage earners. The first ballot resulted as follows: T-rgenbright El Wrieatley 69 Campbell 27 Syroul 34 SUHLIER MUSIC. Plans For Light Opera Echoes of the Late Festival. If present plans of the Topeka Choral society carry, that organization will pre sent to the public some sort of light en tertainment, probably an opera, during the summer months. At the regular meeting Wednesday evening that much was decided upon and a committee con sisting of M. C. Holman, Burg E. Zeis, William M. Shaver, Clement Smith, Miss Beatrice Cron and Mrs. John Griley was appointed to take the preliminary steps looking to the same and to report at the next meeting, Wednesday, evening. This action was taken partially to give the sortety an opportunity to extricate itself from the financial straits to which it is reduced by the bad business man agement of the musical festival of last week, as well as to keep the work in hand during the summer months. It is understood that the society had to face a debt of from J00 to $1,000 after the close of the festival, which will take the greater part of the income derived from the Nordica and other entertainments given during the year. Major T. A. Anderson appeared before the society and made a string of pa thetic remarks, censuring tha news papers. Major Anderson, secretary of .the Commercial club, displayed very bad taste in condemning the newspapers of the city, when the newspapers were not in the least at fault. The committee n charge of the advertising insisted upon squandering a large amount of money in advertising in mediums and metnods that brought no returns. Expensive let ters, circulars and folders were mailed and traveling men sent out, but no en thusiasm was secured and no returns brought, except that worked up by the members of the large choruses. Major Anderson thoroughly under stands that the Incompetency of the ad vertising management and its unwil lingness to use ordinary business sense were wholly responsible for the lamen table failure of a splendid musical event. The blame should be placed ex actly where it belongs. Misrepresenta tion of the press and attempts to de ceive the public are' beneath the dignity of the choral society. The event should have brought in a revenue of at least fifteen hundred dollars more than it did. The only reason for the failure is the one assigned above. It was positively pitiable to see the splendid musical or ganizations producing fine efforts to empty sAts. It was an expensive ex perience. Prof. George B. Penny, dean of the school of fine arts of the State uni versity, and director of the singers, was present and after devoting some time to going over parts of "Hiawatha," gave a talk on the work which lias been done during the past year. Prof. Penny believed that next year the finances should be handled by subscriptions the same as is done in Kansas City and other cities of the country. He believes that if one-half the money for the new pipe organ in the Auditorium can be raised between now and fall it will be possible to give the order for the in strument and have it placed and paid for by next May when the annual fes tival is given. At the Bession of the regents of the State university- Wednesday an invita tion was extended to the society to go to Lawrence next September and as sist in the ceremonies to be held in connection with the inauguration of Chancellor-elect Strong. The invitation was accepted. As explained by Prof. Pennv it is the intention to give two or three choruses in the morning of inaugural day. the same in the afternoon and a grand musical concert at ni:ht. It was suggested by Maj. Anderson that the society prepare to participate in the observance of the Kansas semi-centennial in ISM. On motion of Secretary X M. Stark a resolution was adopted changing the date of the election of officers from January to June and fixing next Wednesday evening as the time when the society will choose its officers for the ensuing year. POOR CASE AGAINST GHENT Prosecution Finds Little Evidence to Support Bigamy Charge. The preliminary hearing of Byron W. Ghent, who is charged with bigamy, was called in city court today, and tlii evidence of the prosecution and ?art of the defense taken. Ghent, within a week of the time bis wife secured a di vorce, went to St. Joe, Mo., and there married Mrs. Irene Frisbee. after which they both returned to Topeka. After ward they went to Colorado, where Ghent was arrested two weeks ago and brought back to face the charge of bigamy. Mrs. Ghent No. 2 soon follow ed him. and has been living with the family of Carl von Wolff, an old Ger man painter who lives at 2037 West street. Mr. von Wolff's daughter, who has been employed by Mrs. Frisbee-Ghent for several years as housekeeper and companion, went to Colorado with Ghent and his second wife, but did not re turn with them, and as she was a valu able witness in the case. Deputy County Attorney McNary went to Colorado last week to take her deposition in the case. The deposition and cross-examination were not admitted as testimony by Judge McCabe, and the witnesses for the prosecution made a. very slim case against Ghent in their inning this morning. To convict Ghent, the state will have to prove that he lived with Mrs. Frisbee-Ghent in Kansas as his wife. The case was continued until to morrow morning at 9. Paul Morton Here. Paul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe. and W. B. Biddle, traffic manager of the Santa Fe, came to To peka today in Mr. Morton's private car.

Kxcitement is at a high pitch in the little suburb of Auburndale over the discoveries of portions of a human body and the bodies of three immature infants in the brush and refuse in Ward's creek under the Willow avenue bridge. Last night a large crowd was watch ing intently the movements of several of the leading men of the neighborhood in their explorations in the bed of the creek. Crowds of from five to 20 peo ple have been standing around the bridge all day today. So far the ex ploring parties have found a portion of a woman's left- leg; what is supposed to be a heart and a stomach and sev eral other portions of flesh, in addition to the bodies of three children. The people of Auburndale are completely mystified. The discovery was first made by some colored boys who were nlaying around the bridge. Tuesday evening they found the body of a child and again in dig ging around the brush heap yesterday portions of a woman's body were found. They left the nortion of a leg sjjd the foot on the bridge, and James Newell, who drove "over the bridge at about 4 o'clock with his wife gave the alarm "I was driving along," said Mr. New ell to a State Journal reporter, "when Mrs. Newell exclaimed 'Oh! There's a human foot!" We stopped on the bridge and sure enough there was the foot. I telephoned from Knox's grocery store to acquaint City Phj'sioian Judd with the matter. I then told some of the people living in Auburndale." Coroner llogebooin was notified of the condition of affairs today and will make an investigation. The mystery has not been cleared up and may r.ever be. The theory is advanced that the things which have been found lav. been placed there from Stormont hos pital, which is only a few blocks away. It will probably be found that the grue some rind was part of the equipment of a doctor's office. THE rOBRISON JURY. Cannot be Secured Possibly Be fore Monday. El Dorado. June 12. One hundred veniremen have been examined in the Morrison case and only eight have been passed for cause by the state. It will take igritil Monday to secure a jury.

Miss Morrison sits with her father in the court and pays strict attention to the drawing of the jury. BUSY DAY FOR A 31 ERIC AN S. Coronation Envoys Begin Their Round of Duties. London, June 12.

To Settle Webb-Meyer Affairs. New York. June 12. James G. Cannon, vice president of the Fourth National bank, said today that he bad under taken to settle the affairs of the Webb Meyer syndicate. "The bank is neither directly nor directly interested in any of these loans or securities." said Mi. Cannon. "At the request of one hun dred and three bank and institutions throughout the country which are inter ested, I have undertaken to bring about some kind of an adjustment in connec tion with these matters. All parties are heartily co-operating. Many of the pro perties have merit to them and with careful handling and adjustment I feel that the situation can be measurably cleared on to the satisfaction of all concerned." "Yes," said the old man. "this here boy is cut out fer one them literary tel lers." "Sure of it?" "Plumb shore!" "Well, bow does it affect him?" "Well, in the fust place, the hair on his head is as long as a hamestring: he's fond o' fried singin' birds: would ruther write his name in the sand than plow a mule in it; don't knew the value of a dollar an' eats at the table like he thought every meal wuz a-goin' to be the last!"--Atlanta Constitution.

BUDS m FLOWED CF H03IE LIFE PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND MAKES AND KEEPS THE CHILDREN WELL AND STRONG Mothers Make It the Home Medi cine For the Little Ones. The children, God bless them, are the buds and flowers of our homes. With out their prattle and hearty laughter. our Homes would be desolate. they should ever be carefully tended in child hood and youth, if we expect them to ripen into perfect men and women. In the home and at school, the chil dren have their tines of ill-health and suffering. We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks, heavy eyes, nervous movements and twitchings of limbs and muscles. They complain of headache, drowsiness, weariness, .dyspepsia, and indigestion. All such symptoms and ailments mean that the seeds of disease will have a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures are taken to restore a perfect condition of health. Thousands of wise and prudent parents have made their children happy, healthy, and vigorous by giving them nature's medicine, Paine's Celery Com pound. In many severe and compli cated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has restored health when the little ones were given up by phj'sicians. If your dear one3 are not as hearty, strong, and rugged as they should be in June, try the health giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound. It makes and keeps the children well.

Ransom that "I am not in anyway responsible for the election or aaaoint ment nor the mentioning of my name in any way thereto," in being "elected or appointed president of the board of trustees of the Topeka Industrial insti tute by what is called the Edward Stephens faction." is such a gross misstatement that I must take notice of it. For Mr. Ransom to make such a statement in a newspaper shows nerve possessed by few. It is not a matter of veracity between him and me. More than a score of whiteand black persons will testify that Preacher Ransom speaks not the truth in his communica tion to the State Journal. Not only did he himself suggest his own name as trustee of the Topeka Industrial insti tute, but suggested and passed upon the names of other available persons. His name was used with his full knowledge, and he read it, among the others, before it was given to the paper. Because he got scared and wished to "crawfish," that was his right; but he has no right to make either Edward Stephens or "Stephens' faction" forgers and falsifiers. To assert our rights, in the courts or out of them, the '"Stephens faction" does not need Preacher Ransom. He himself offered himself to help and be cause of his zeal, and so forth, we put him to work. But he quit. Whv? EDWARD STEPHENS.

.TOPEKA "STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 12, 1902. iSYSAILIilG ?1 I H l J I torn i Congressman Bowersock Has Some Breakers in His Way. Distribution of Federal Patron age Cause of the Trouble. HAD A BIG MAJORITY. Nearly 2,500 Votes to Spare at Last Election. Fusion CoiiTention at Fort Scott June 16. The indications are that Congressman Jlowersuck will have to strike a gait i-onsiuerably faster than a dog trot in the coming campaign or he will not represent the Second congressional dis trict in congress another term. There is an insurrection among the Second district Republicans, and they may insuirect so hard as to cost y iu.wersock his seat in congress. If (Wyandotte county piles up the ma jority against him which the Republican leaders down there say it will, and oilier counties, outside of Douglas, do not do better than present conditions indicate, the only thing that will save CMr. Bowersock will be the workings of the anti-fusion law or some bad break hn the part of the Republican opposi tion. The fusion forces will hold their con tention in Fort Scott on June 16, next Monday, to select the man who will make the race against Mr. Bowersook. There are three leading candidates. They are Judge John T. Burris of Ola the, Noah liouman of Garnett and B. T. Pnediker of Kansas City, Kan. It Is claimed that the chances are about evenly divided between them, but if .saere is any advantage it is in favor of Judge Burris. The vote on congressman in the Sec end district two years ago was as fol lows: Bowersoek's Peters' major- rnajor- Howersock ..jW on 12X Peters 2 1.777 2.723 ity ity 'Al!n 51 233 l.u::y H-.7 us; 157 215 T-'ourb'in "Douglas Franklin J-uuisun Linn Jnami ,Y yandotte 3.39 2.794 2.'m 7.342 f.475 133 133 Totals ..2s. On" 25.62: 2.593 Bowersoek's net majority, 2.4CO. The danger to Mr. Bowersock does r.ot lie in any claim that he has not xnade a good congressman. He has probably made as good a record, per haps a better, than the average eon pressman who has been In congress no longer than he. There is no objection to his ability", for he is recognized as a man of more than usual ability. His weakness lies in what should be a source of strength his federal patron age. Mr. Bowersock has managed to stir up trouble at nearly every point where he has a postmaster to appoint in a town of any importance. He has made enemies instead of friends in nearly every county simply because he could jiot please everybody in making ap pointments, and he managed matters in such a way as to arouse enmity and bitterness and factions. As a result there are hundreds of Re publicans in Wyandotte county who are on the warpath. They claim the county will not give less than 1,500 majority Eigainst Bowersock, and they are talk ing all the way lion that up. J. K. Cub-bison, in nominating E. A. Enright for governor in the Republican state convention, predicted that Craddock might carry Kansas City by 3.000 ma jority, and if the fusionlsts nominate t-nediker for congress, who is close to the laboring classes in Kansas City, Kan., he will get as big a majority as Craddock, and probably larger. Douglas county will, of course roll Tip a majority of at least a thousand for Bowersock this year. If the other counties of the district would do as well as they did two years ago, Wyandotte county would have to give over 2,500 majority to the fusion nominee in order to beat Bowersock, but there is trouble In other counties besides Wyandotte. Allen county is inclined to be hostile md the majority there may be reduced to 20!) instead of 500. In Anderson county there was trouble about the Oarnett postoffiee and this in itself would turn a majority into a minority there, and in addition to that Bower eock s friends threw their influence to Tom Kelly for state treasurer in the Wichita convention, when Anderson county had a good candidate. There is a big insurrection in Bourbon county, growing out of a postoffiee fight, and Renin the Bowersock influence went ssgainst Cwlonel Cormany for lieutenant governor, which did not help any in Fort Scott. And thus it is throughout the district. In nearly every county there is trouble of greater or less gravity, so that if Wyandotte county gives a majority of 1.SO0 nsrainst Bowersock it is very liable to defeat him. Eugene Hagan, A. M. Harvey and Tavid Overmyer have been asked by Hugh Farrelly, chairman of the Demo cratic state central committee, and E. 51. Kidgley, chairman of the Populist Ftate central committee, to make a thorough examination ofthe anti-fusion law and learn the exact status of the two fusion parties under it, and also to see if there is any probability that the law may be overthrown in the su preme court. There have already been several committees of fusion lawyers who have reported that the anti-fusion l.iw is a shame, a disgrace, and a num ler of other opprobrious things, but it ti!l seems to be blockading the way to fusion so far as practical results stre concerned. The peculiar feature of this latest committee is that Eugene Hagan should be chosen to find a way for the promotion of fusion. The report that Senator Eurton has recommended H. E. Rlchter to be United States marshal for the northtrn district of the Indian Territory Mas been confirmed. Whether Mr. Richter will get the appointment is still unde cided. R. eral days ago Mr. Richter re ceived a telegram from Senator Burton ffekina whether his correct name is "Harry," as he is popularly known, or -Henry."' National Committeeman Muivane is now in Washington and it is said that he is there in Richter's in terests. There is an element in the In dian Territory, however, which is pro testing against the federal patronage down there being turned over entirely to Kansas, and this may have some in fluence on Richter's appointment. Major A. M. Harvey has a boom for chairman of the Populist state central committee. It is pretty certain that E. K. Ridgley will not be chosen to run another state campaign. The heads of the Populist and Demo cratic state committees have requested the county conventions of both parties to take no action regarding a method of getting the tickets on the official ballot until the state committees act after the S'eiMist Btat convention. Thi is in order that a uniform plan may be dopted and no complications arise. A report comes from Kansas City, Kan., that E. A. Enright. late candi date for the Republican nomination for governor, is preparing to run for mem ber of the legislature from the "black berry" district of Wyandotte county. Mr. Enright is not the only one who can quickly change the direction of his pursuit after one office to another. W. Pioss was up to about 10:45 p. rn.. May 28, a candidate for state superin tendent of public instruction. He was not successful. Last week the follow ing announcement appeared in some of the Jefferson county papers: "We are authorized to announce that W. D. Itoss will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for re-election as county superintendent of public in struction, subject to the action of the county convention." James F. Getty, of Wyandotte county, is mentioned as a good man to put on the executive committee of the Republi can state central committee. Getty is the member from Wyandotte county, and he is said to be the coming man in the uncertain politics of that county. Harry Richter says he knows nothing whatever of the plan to make him United States marshal for the northern district of the Indian Territory. He says he has never asked for the place, and all he knows is what he has read in the newspapers, but that he will gladly take the job if it comes his way. On the other hand he will not complain if he does not get it. GETS A DEGREE. Supt. W. M. Davidson Honored by State University. Lawrence, Kan., June 12. During the commencement season just closed 224 graduates were granted diplomas by the State university covering the differ ent departments of science, arts, law and music. In the list of 9S granted the degree of Bachelor of Arts was W. M. Davidson, superintendent of schools of Topeka. It has not been generally known that Mr. Davidson, in the multi plicity of his duties, has found time during the past three years to pursue the studies and work necessary to gain this honor. On commencement day he was with the class of 19U2 and, robed in the black gown of the senior, wearing the mortar board which goes with it, marched with his classmates before the regents and faculty and received his well-earned sheepskin. Among the graduates were Louise Amy Smith of Topeka. daughter of Charles Blood Smith; Richard T. Hargreaves, who a few years ago was a Topeka newsboy. At the commencement dinner Mr. Hargreaves delivered a splendid speech on behalf of the senior class. He has been elected to a position in the Topeka high school. Anna Esther Har rison, daughter of ex-Mayor T. Wr. Har rison, and J. Clark Swayze were the other Topeka graduates. The commencement dinner was the largest one ever served. The attendance at these gatherings has been increasing to such an extent that no room In any of the buildings is of sufficient size to provide for the occasion. An innova tion this year was the serving of this banquet to a large double centerpole tent. The number of plates approached a thousand. Among the speakers responding to toasts were Regent-Scott Hopkins, Dr. Joseph Swain, president of the Univer sity of Indiana, Mrs. R. D. O'Learv, rep resenting the alumni, Dr. S. W. Wrillis ton. one of the faculty who has been called to the University of Chicago and Dr. E. D. Adams, who goes to Leland Stanford university. W. S. Jenks, who was secretary of the Wichita Republi can state convention, a graduate of the institution, spoke on "The University and the State." William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette was called upon and in his talk assured the regents and faculty of the support of his newspaper in any plans or projects lookingto the welfare and advancement of the insti tution. The references to the grand installation ceremony In the fall Inducting the new chancellor, Dr. Strong, into office were re ceived with great enthusiasm. It is pro posed to make this a notable ceremony to be attended by great educators represent ing the great colleges of tne country. The officers of the alumni association are: President. W. Y. Morscan. 'S5: vice president, Grant Harrington. 'ST; recording secretary. Miss Alberta Corbin, '93; corre sponding secretary. Prof. E. F. Engel, 'y2; treasurer, Irving Hill, '96. Such is Fame. In connection with the State uni versity commencement exercises at Lawrence this week one of the local papers spoke of Wr. T. Logan. W. Y. Morgan, state printer, is one of the most prominent graduates of the in stitution and has attended every com mencement for the last 20 years. At the annual dinner, among those who re sponded to toasts was William Allen White, whose name is familiar to tne literary world of this entire country and yet in referring to the toasts on this occasion no reference to him was made by a certain prominent state newspaper, except, following the list of regular speakers. Mr. White's name was con cealed in the general and comprehensive phrase "and others." Ball Team in a Wreck. Paul, June 12. The American.

Never eat heavy carbonaceous foods for the morning meal, for these foods should follow and not precede hard work. The best morning foundation is Grape- JNuts and cream, a little fruit, a cup of Postum Food Coffee and possibly a couple of eggs prepared to suit the taste this breakfast is sufficient to satisfy the hardest worker, either of brain or muscle, until the noonday meal. Particularly is this true at the present season of the year, when meat and other fatty foods increase the internal heat of the body and make the summer day still more disagreeable. Grape-Nuts come to you from the grocer ready to serve, having been fully cooked at the factory by food experts and this saving in time and exertion is appreciated by the housewife as well as the economy, for being a concentrated food, four teaspoonfuls is sufficient ft r the cereal part of a meal for one person and costs only one cent. A booklet of excellent recipes is found in each package of Grape-Nuts from which many easy and delicious warm weather dishes can be made for lunch eon and supper that are not only nu tritious but pleasing to the palate. A trial of the above selection of food -j for '10 days will prove to anyone thai. health and vigor, an active mind and a keen enjoyment of the pleasures of sum mer w ill take the place of poor digestion, a dull brain and that heavy, draggy ffloilntr r.t2j3.

A ROUTE IS PROPOSED. Would Pass Through Auburn, Dover and Harvey ville. Another Wild Story About Kan sas is Published. A project that has for its object the construction of a suburban electric railway line in a southwesterly direction from Topeka through the towns of Do ver, Auburn, Eskridge, Harveyville and other stations In the territory southwest of Topeka that is not directly connected up witn Topeka by means of railway facilities, was launched at the meeting of the Commercial club last night by Mrs. W. E. Crumb, postmistress at Har vevvilie. Mrs. Crumb appeared before the members of the club who were present and presented in a brief and concise manner the wants and needs of the farmers of this section. "The territory which this suburban road would tap," she said, "is rich in agricultural produc tiveness. We have a large section there that is entirely without railroad facili- j ties and a suburban line running down through this valley would not only be of immense value to the people of this sec tion but would be a great stimulant to trade extension and prosperity in To peka. "Our people are anxious for this road." said Mrs. Crumb. "There will be no difficulty in securing a right of way and financial aid if necessary through the townships through which the road would pass. We are in hopes the busi ness men of Topeka will become inter ested in the plan and will soon se their way clear to act on the suggestion." The project for a suburban road through this section has been discussed more or less for several years. Mrs. Crumb has done much to agitate the matter, and if the road is ever built great credit will be due her on account of her untiring efforts in the matter. No formal action was taken by the cluo. The Commercial club broke In on the school text book fight with the passage of the following resolutions: "Whereas. The Commercial cluD ol Topeka has constantly advocated the importance ot patronizing nome manu facturers and home mercnants, Horn a financial and business standpoint, and the members have used their best ef forts to locate new industries in the state, and secure better patronage for those already established; therefore Resolved, That the thanks of tne Commercial club of Topeka are due and are hereby extended to Frank Nelson, state superintendent of jublic instruc tion; II. F. Sheldon of Ottawa, ana n.a win Taylor of Edwardsville, members of the Kansas state text book commis sion, in favor of meritorious Kansas made books, to be used in Kansas chools by Kansas children. "Resolved. That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to each of the gentlemen named, signed by the president and at tested by the secretary." The secretary read the following spe cial dispatch to the Chicago Record- Herald: Plague of ants in Kansas. Insects are destroying the alfalfa and wheat crops. Special to the Record-Herald. Toueka. Kan.. June 8. A plague of ants has appeared in the northern cen tral counties of Kansas, and tne insects are destroying the alfalfa and wheat crops. All vegetation within a radius of several feet of their hills is killed. The ants are a larger variety than has ever been seen in the state before. They multiply very rapidly, and the farmer!, are using every means to exterminate them. The insects have invaded tne cities and towns, and are making lite miserable for the inhabitants. I bey are verv vicious, and do not hesitate to at tack either person or animal interfering with them. The secretary said: A marked copy of the Chicago Record-Herald, contain ing the above, was received oy one oi our leading loan companies this morn ing, and will be followed by a nooa oi letters from the east and Kansas will receive another over-hauling. Is it pos- ble that the city of Topeka harbors a single idiot, who has no more sense than to telegraph a lot ot sucn rot These ants are voracious and destroy every living thing within three or four feet of their holes." it is a great pity that this correspondent could not be dumped down on one of these ant hills and the 'voracious' beasts turned loose on him. 'They are very vicious' most ants are. "Plague of Ants in Kansas.' They are nothing like so great a plague as the 'horde of American book agents who overrun the state a few weeks ago. one of whom this special correspondent ia supposed to be which." A recommendation was made that members of the Commercial club take stock in the Perfection Seed Cleaner and Grain Separator company which is being organized in Topeka. In this con nection the secretary announced that Topeka business men lost a paying fac tory when it failed to organize a com pany here for the manufacture of the automatic scale that was on exhibition here last winter. An eastern firm paid the Kansas inventors of the machine $50,000 for the patents on the scale and in addition are to pay a royalty of $A on every machine sold. The company could have been organized in Topeka for a cash amount of $15,000. the company to be organized with $30,000 as the capi tal stock named. The report of the advertising and en tertainment committees was received and will undoubtedly be adopted. It looks toward the forming of a combine among the local merchants to protect themselves for advertising grafts. The merchants will contribute to a fund to be used by the club to advertise the city, secure conventions and print pro grammes for worthy poor institutions that need them, rather than put ad vertisements in the programmes. Department Commander H. C. Loomis offered to carry the invitation of the Commercial club, the governor and the G. A. R. department to President Roose velt to make the memorial day speech in Topeka, May 30. 1804, the day when the Kansas-Nebraska bill was signed 50 years before. The pU-.n is to hold a semi-centennial celebration in commemoration of the event. Racing at Gravesend. New York, June 12. Short priced horses were again in evidence at Grave send, winning five of the six events, while Ethics, at 15 to 1, won the other event. Although the Myrtle stakes was the feature of the card, and won by the favorite, Frenseeo, the chief interest was in the meeting of the two fast fillies Lady Albercraft and Rose Tint. with five straight victories to Rose Tint's credit. They were equal choices, and Lady Albercraft won easily by two lengths, in the fast time of 1:00 4-5. A heavy rain storm set in as the horses were going to the post for the fourth race, and the fifth and sixth races were run on a track that wa3 converted Into a quagmire. PATCHED UP- LEow Among Cleveland Republicans is Smoothed Over. Cleveland, O., June 12. The Leader prints the following special from Hot Springs, Va. A compromise has been arrived at be tween Congressman Burton and several Republicans who went from this city to try to bring about peace in the mat ter of the proposed withdrawal of Con gressman Burton as a candidate for re election to congress from this district because of "alleged petty bosses and bossism." The compromise reached is that the Burton committee shall have charge of the fall campaign. CHAflEY riOT RESIGNED. Couneilmen Are Wondering If He Will Name His Successor. There is to be a conference tomorrow of some of the leading Republican poli ticians of the Fourth ward for the pur pose of talking over the question of a successor to Councilman W. S. Chaney. The object of the conference is to agree on some Republican candidate to ui4e as a successor to Mr. Chanel-. It was rumored this morning that Councilman Chaney's brother, John Chaney of this city, now has in his pos session Mr. Chaney s resignation from the council, and that he is holding it back at present for the purpose of forc ing Mayor Parker to appoint a succes sor who shall be selected by Councilman Chaney's friends. When questioned in regard to this matter, John Chaney said this morning: "I have not my brother's resignation. He has decided to resign, that is true, but I believe that he has not yet sent his resignation. Pie will probably do so within a very short time. I think that all he wants is that Mayor Parker shall appoint a Republican to succeed him. He believes that it is his right to in sist that a Republican be tamed. I do not think that he is trving to advance the claims of any special Republican. We have talked of ha'f a dozen who would be satisfactory." In spite of this positive statement, there are several memoers of the coun cil who insist that Mr Chaney has se lected a man to fill his place, and that he w ill not resign until he has the pledge of the mayor that the appointment will be made as he dictates. One faction of the council claims that Frank Blanch has been selected bv Councilman Chaney to take his place. Another is equally positive that Chaney is trying to force the appointment of C. O. Knowles. Both men have strong indorsements for the place. The friends of Frank Blanch are Councilman Weber, the senior member from the Fourth ward, and several other Republican members of the council who are classed with the "administration" forces These couneilmen are now try ing to line up the Democrats with them, and thus bring the support of the may or's own party to their side. Blanch is a well known contractor and builder, and has taken an active part in the Re publican politics of the ward. He was one of Councilman Weber's friends in the last election, and would if appoint ed be friendly to the policy of the ad ministration. The strongest argument in favor of Blanch is that he is from the west end of the ward, which is by precedent en titled to the place, as Councilman Web er represents the east end. C. O. Knowles has probably a. stronger "personal" pull with Mayor Parker than any man that could have been selected. He is one ot Mr. Parker s old-time friends, and the two men are very close in a personal way, though they differ w-idely in politics. Mr. Knowles is too well known in Topeka to require intro duction. He is in the real estate busi ness, and has lived in Topeka since the early days. He would be a very able man in the council, and Mayor Parker would no doubt rather appoint him than any other Republican, if allowed to act entirely according to his personal w-ishes. Mr. Knowles, however, lives in the east end of the ward, which al ready has one councilman, and this fact may beat him for the appointment. Everything indicates that Councilman Chaney holds the whip hand. It has been stated that there is a law providing that a councilman may be removed from office after absenting himself from a certain number of meetings, but Vio authority can be found for such a statement. At torneys well posted on the ordinances of Topeka and in municipal law. statad today that appointive officers might be removed, but that elective officers can not be removed. If this is the case, Mr. Chaney, as an elected officer, can con tinue to hold his office until the next election, unless he can compel Mayor Parker to appoint a man of his choice. If Mr. Chaney can get the majority of the council back of him in the selection of some man for the place, the mayor would be obliged to appoint that man, for the majority would prevent the con firmation of any other. EOEKS ARE BITTER. Would Like to Get Even With France and Germany. Pretoria, June 12. In all 10.225 Boers have surrendered up to date. Many arc youngsters of eleven years and upwards. The majority of them are under thirty, though some of the burghers who have surrendered are septuagenarians. Advices from all the districts say that the burghers are increasingly friendly. The only bitterness observable among the leading Boers here is against France and Germany. They declare the war was protracted unnecessarily owing to hopes held out by the French and Ger man press. Some of the Boers are so incensed that they have expressed the hope that some day they will fight on the side of the British against one of these powers. The anticipated friction between the surrendered Boers and their former comrades of the Natal scouts has not materialized to any extent. The Boers admit they received am munition through Portuguese teixitory. General Dewet says the youngsters were his best fighters and frequently held positions after the old burghers had cleared out. The Boers of the Orange River colony are handing in only a small percentage of their ammunition. They explain that they used most of it in hunting game since the peace agreement was signed. Addressing the surrendered Boers at Cronstadt. Orange River colony. Gen eral Elliott said the only wish of King Edward, his government and the British people was to help the burg-fiers and get them back on farms as soon as possible. The king, tne general added, had telegraphed congratulations to the burghers on the good stand they had made. Ths announcement was greeted with lusty cheers for the king and for Lord Kitchener. Stranded in New York Harbor. New York, June 12. The freight steamer Hugoma of the New York Porto Rico Steamship company, went ashore in New York harbor today. The vessel had arrived from Norfolk. Va-, and Captain McLean, her commander, intended to make an anchorage off Lib erty island when, owing to a dense fog, he lost his bearings and the ship strand ed on Oyster island. In answer to sig nals of distress, a railrba-d tug went to the stranded steamship and made sev eral ineffectual attempts to pull her In to deep water. Another effort to float the vessel will be made at high tide. DOESN'T OWE A CENT. That is the Enviable Reputation of Gove County. Gove county is the- only county in Kansas that is free from debt. Gove does not owe a penny. In order that the accounts might be clean the county has just taxen up a $200 bond which was not due until 1Q5. Besides this fact there are from 40,000 to 50.000 acres of uoverntuent land in Gove county that have not been taken up. It is still government land. There is a chance for people win wish to start a place of their own to go to a county that is free from debt and get their land free from the government. Shriners Are Sightseeing. San Francisco, June 12. Having con cluded the business of the imperial council, the visiting nobles of the mys tic shrine are devoting their time to sightseeing. This morning a large crowd was driven to the Presidio and Cliff House, returning home through Golden Gate park. Various other points of in terest were also visited. There was a competitive drill of Arab-patrols at the Oakland race track this afternoon, but the result will not be announced until evening, when the first prizes will be distributed at a promenade concert in Mechanics' pavilion. Sometimes They Were Bucked. "Washington, June 12. Mark H. Evans of Des Moines, la., formerly of the 32nd volunteer infantry, was a witness before the senate Philippine committee today. He testified to seeing the water cure administered in the province of Batan, also the burning of villages where in surgents were located. He also related incidents where natives were ducked under water for half a minute at a time to compel them to tell where arms were located. With these exceptions, he said the treatment of the natives by the troops had generally been kind.

They were all of his own raising and were all less than one year old. The price paid was the highest since 193, when a bunch sold for $S 30. Yesterday Kansas City topped all the western hog markets with its load at $7.65. The highest price paid at either Chicago or St. Louis was J7.82M!. St. Joseph had a string at $".0 and Omaha's best price was $7.55. J. S. PARKS' WHEAT. Thinks He Will Have 20,000 Bushels Near Beloit. The Beloit Call publishes the follow ing: J. S. Parks was up from Topeka yes terday. He drove out to Center town ship and surveyed his waving wealtl" of wheat. He came back feeling quite encouraged and elated at the prospects. He thinks that the 1.400 acres belong ing to the family will produce not less than 20.000 bushels of grain. e sin cerely hope that John's surmises will be realized, as in such event the rest of us should not be left very far be hind. With the warm weather the har vest will soon be here, when the long drawn out controversy in regard to the yield will be a thing of the past, and each individual will have a chance to have his guess verified or otherwise hi the measure of the grain at threshing time. Mr. Parks had to leave again this morning, as his business is rushing at present, and Mr. Jensen is sick. He informed us Just before leaving that the Continental Creamery company churned 50,000 pounds of butter yester day. 3IARSI1ALL'S BAND TONIGHT Programme For the First Evening Concert.

Mr. Plass suggested that the Alumni as sociation interest itself in the plan of organizing Washburn clubs in all th cities of the state where old Washburn students are now living. His plan is that these clubs shall include not only the graduates of the college, but all who ever attended the school, and that the club hold meetings occasionally for the purpose of keeping alive the old college spirit. Dr. Plrss promised on behalf of the college that either he or soTie other representative of the col lege would be willing to go out from Topeka to attend these meetings, and tell the old students of the rrowth and current news of the college. II ELLO, WILLIA M. Mr. Shakespeare Comes to Town Elk Benefit at Garfield Park. The Topeka lodge of Elks announce an out-of-doors production of"As You Like It" at Garfield park, Monday and Tuesday evenings, June 16 and 17. iy Mr. Lester Lonergan and company. This is a novel tv in Topeka and is already exciting popular interest. The selection of Garfield park for this entertainment was made by Mr. Lonergan's person il representative, after a careful inspec tion of several proposed sites. The park presents a natural amphitheater. w1n'r, hidden away from the outside worl 1 by gigantic forest trees, one can easily Im agine oneself really in the ideal nook in the Forest of Arden where the scenes ot "As You Like It" were laid, and in a spot where Shakespeare himself spent days at a time. In nature's theater there will be .iust as little suggestion of the defiling arts of man as possible and only those effects necessary to complete the illusion, and add to the comfort of the audience will be introduced. Of course the scheme of lighting will be elaboi'ate but the lights. will not obtrude to break the magic spell of the forest. The Elks will spare no effort to co operate with, Mr. Lonergan in this event which promises to give to Topeka, by a rare coincidence of opportunity, one of the rarest and best of out-door attrac tions. Torpedoes on the Track. Franklin, Pa., June 12. As a result of the street car boycott growing out of the trouble between the Venango power company and its employes, the street cur employes both in this city and in Oil City have been sworn in as deputy sheriffs by Sheriff McCallum. Very few people are riding on the cars. Up to a late hour last night several hundred men lined the track3 on the principal streets, hooting at the motormen and conductors and endeavoring to dissuade people from patronizing the line. Tor pedoes were placed on the tracks In many places, but no serious trouble arose from the demonstration. His Last Hope Realized. From the Sentinel, Gbo, Mont. In the first opening of Oklahoma to set tlers in last), the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who marie the .big race one fine dav in April. rmring his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his clnim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed al most impossible io check, and along .in June the ca.e became so bad lie exr.ecUd to die.

The Co-operative Leader Will Invade Enterprise. Abilene, June 12. The Chronicle says: Carl Vrooman, the great socialistic, co operative leader, has his eyes set on Enterprise. He was at Enterprise a day or two ago and submitted propositions to the Iloffmans for a lease on their flouring mills and also to Peterson Ostberg for their great department store, Mr. Koch for his hardware store and to Scrafford Flack for their drug store The prepositions were made for a two-year lease on a 6 per cent basis on an agreed valuation which was lib eral enough to interest some of the par ties sufficiently to at least seriously con sider the proposition. Whether the deals of any of them will be closed is only problematical. It is understood that one of Vrooman'? managers is to be at Enterprise in few days to make an effort to close the deals. The basis of valuation figured on for the Hoffman mills is said to have been about $500,000. CENTENNIAL CLASS. West Pointers Receive Diplomas From the President's Hands. West Point, N. Y., June 12.

About two years ago I had one foot in the grave, as the saying goes, and life looked pretty black to me; trie uoc- (ffr tors called it Bright's disease. I would give all I had to be cur ed, but nothing seemed todo me nuch good until a neighbor rec ommended that 1 try Warner's Safe Cure.- It was with but little hope that I tried it, but within t w o weeks my gen eral health was improved and in four months I was completely cured. I hard ly dared to believe that such good for tune was mine, but I have not lost a meal nor had an ache or pain since. Words seem but poor to express my gratitude. Yours truly, H. M. STUBIG (Ald-rraan, 27th Ward)." TEST YOUR URINE.

Mommy mmi' ings with the nusDanas win u of next year's programme. Th. tmomiin? notices which were sent to the woman's club department of the State Journal Wednesday tell briefly the story of a serious rupture in the Vignette club, one of the oldest and most prominent of the women's clubs in Topeka. For some time mere nave uc rumors of factional differences in the club and at a recent meeting Mrs. H.. O Garvey, the president of the city fed eration who is one of the original mem bers, resigned. The club voted to accept her resignation, but not unanimously, she having a number of friends and supporters who upheld her wnen sne ai terwards announced that she had recon sidered and would withdraw her resig nation. Thereupon some of the other women decided that the same club was not big enough to hold Mrs. Garvey and themselves and said that they would re sign. A business meeting tni today at the home of Mrs. A. C. Mc Guire to act upon these resignations but by Wednesday eight insurgents had got ten together and voted to leave the club in a body and this meeting was called When news of the action of the eight members reached the others they an nounced a meeting- of the remaining members for Friday morning at Mrs. Frank M. Bonebrake'B. The trouble in the club, it is stated by the members, it the result of several vovi! nf friction. Differences which arose in the Topeka delegation at the biennial at Los Angeles aggravated the strife, which has been open and vigor a.Hnr the nast few weeks. Tne t factions seemed to be Garvey and anti-Garvey, some of the actions of the federation president having been dis pleasing to part of the club. The Vignette members are Mrs. Gar vpv. Mrs John E.

Of the members who will stay by Mrs. rinrve-v and the club are Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Garvey's sister; Mrs. Speed Hughes and .Mrs. Bonebrake. one oi tne mem bers. Mrs. Willis Norton, is abroad, and another. Mrs. D. E. Esterly, has only just returned from a visit out of town, and these have had no part in the dis agreements. Both sides claim the sym pathv and support of Mrs. T. F. Doran, vice president, and Mrs. Fred Brown. Some of the members of the club who prreatly regret the trouble which threat ens to dismember an organization which has enjoyed 12 friendly and profitable vears have persuaded the eight women who resigned summarily Wednesday to withdraw their resignations, at least temporarily, and present them, if they so decide at a regular business meet ing The meeting at the home of Mrs. McGuire, which was first called for this afternoon and then declared off will therefore take place and the club will have an opportunity to act upon the resignations. One faction claims 12 votes and the other eight, but as there are only 17 club members it looks as though one side or the other had adopt ed Tom McNeal's system of mathemat Fred Matchett's Body Found With. Revolver by His Side. Fred Matehett, the 20 year old son of J. T. MUchett, a farmer living near the Reform school, either committed suicide or was murdered Wednesday afternoon. His body was found on the Grantviile road about 300 yards from the Soldier creek bridge at 4 o'clock by a Santa Fe section hand named Matt Devlin. A 32 calibre revolver was clutched in his right hand, and a bullet hole in his left temple showed how he came to his death. The body was found in the weeds by the roadside, and no signs of a struggle were visible. When Mr. Devlin found the body he at once notified the police. and Coroner H. B. Hogeboom drove out to make an investigation. He examined the clothing but found nothing to identi fy him. A little over a dollar in money and a receipt from station A for a money order of $1 were found in his pockets, and by means of the number on the receipt the coroner learned at the postofflce that his name was Fred Matehett, and that he had sent the money order t C. P. Collier, Kansas City. The bodv was taken to an un dertaking establishment, where an in quest will be held this afternoon. As far as can be learned. Matehett was last seen alive by Jacob Reckles, a farmer living on the Grantviile road a short distance from the place where the body was found. He stopped at the Reckles home shortly after noon Wed nesday and asked for something to eat. He was given a piece of bread, which he did not eat. and after drinkinff a cup of water walked on down the road. F. C. Matehett, of US Holman street, a clerk in the employ ot tne feanta a e, who is an uncle of the dead man, identi fied the body.
