LAST EDITION. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JULY 2, 1902. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. RIVER ON RAMPAGE Low Lands Are Threatened 'With Inundation. Approaches to Melan Arch Bridge in Danger. INTO THE CITY PARK. The West End is Covered With Water. Feared That Further Rise Will Cover North Topeka. TROUBLE AT WOLFF'S. Firemen Work to Get Water Out of Basement. Big Smoke Stack Falls When Anchor Wires Give Way. The Kansas river at noon was -within two feet of overflowing- the low banks and was Btlll rising at the rate of an Inch an hour. Tuesday, the heavy rain extended throughout the northern part of the state as far -west as Decatur county, where the rainfall measured an inch and a quarter. The effects of the heavy rains as far west as Manhattan have affected the river at this point but the heavy rains west of Manhattan have not yet affect ed the river here. If the rise continues for 24 hours the river will be over its banks and the low lands north and south of the river will be flooded. It is reported to the Rock Island offices here this morning that the river is rising one foot an hour at Manhat tan. The Rock Island notified the Santa Fe of this rise, and the railroad offi cials are preparing for trouble here to night. It is estimated that the rise will reach Topeka in four or five hours, and It is likely to be considerably augmented by tributary streams before it gets here. Four miles west of Topeka, at the Bite of the proposed dam, there i an embankment on the north side of the river to keep high water from flooding the low lands there. Last night and this morning the water was seeping through the embankment. Should the water carry away the embankment and flow over the botton lands it is likely to cut its -way through to Soldier creek and flood all the bottom lands on the north side from the river to the hills. Water at noon today had flooded much of the made ground in the Rock iBland yards near the railroad bridge and the west end of the city park was inundated to a depth of three and four feet. Boys In boats were paddling around in the vicinity of the old water works plant. OAKLAND CARS STOPPED. The Santa Fe switching tracks on the north side of the river between Jeffer eon and Monroe streets were under iwater this morning. A line of freight cars were standing on the track and the water was over the axles of the wheels. The street cars were unable to make the run to Oakland, as there was four feet of water over the tracks under the Santa Fe bridge where the run i3 made close to the river bank. Passen gers had to transfer and walk through the railroad yards to the cars. Several email houses on the north side of the river near the Santa Fe bridge are sur rounded by water. DAMAGE AT WOLFF PLANT. At the Wolff packing plant on the river front the surface of the water in the river is over two feet above the level of the basement of the packing house and is causing considerable trou ble. The water Is rapidly sweeping into the basement through the made ground between the building and the river. The water was kept down in the basement last night by men working at pumps In relays. Today the Wolff company ar ranged for the steam Are engine of the city lire department to be taken to the plant and the fire engine is being used to pump the water from out of the cellar. One of the steel smoke stacks of the packing house, 100 feet high, fell last night at dark. The fall was caused by the anchors of the guy ropes that held the stack in position being washed out by the water, which forms a perfect torrent below the Melan arch bridge. EDISON WIRES DOWN. North Topeka was completely cut off fro.n the electric light plant a portion of last night and this morning. Houses on the North side were left without electric light. The poles of the Edison company in the Kansas river, which carry the wires from the south bank to the North side were washed out. The poles of the Edison company were about half a block below the Kansas avenue bridge, and the wires were broken by the washing out of the poles. Today the Edlsoa company was enabled to connect with North Topeka through the kindness of B. F. Pankey of the Independent Telephone company. Mr. Pankey has long distance wires, which he is stringing to connect with Atchison, Leavenworth and several oth er large towns In northeast Kansas, placed over the Kaw river. As the line will not be completed for ten days, he allowed the Edison company to use his wires while arrangements are made for repairing the Edison line. MILLERS ARE ALARMED. The millers in North Topeka are be coming alarmed at the steady rise of the river. A foot more and the river will flood the land around the foot of Qulncy street in North Topeka and sur round the Capital mill and elevator. If the river continues to rise the m ills will call upon the railroad companies to fur nish cars In order that the grain and flour stored in the lower part of the mills and elevators can be moved to a place of safety. A force of men has been busy all day dislodging the drift wood piled against the piers of the street car bridge. As the river has risen gradually a large amount of drift wood has not come down. A freshet west would fill the stream with drift wood and greatly en danger the railway bridge. At the north end of the Melan arch bridge across the river on Kansas avenue the water has cut into the embankment which was built to shorten the bridge. A rise of two or three feet more will be likelv to cut away the embankment at the north end of the bridge and perhaps at the couth end also and leave the bridge (without any approaches. JENNINGS PREDICTS FURTHER RISK Observer T. B. Jennings this morning aid: "The river has been rising this morning at the rate of about an inch an hour. The ralne Tuesday were heavy as far west as Decatur county. So far the raina as far west as Manhattan have influenced the river but the rains west of Manhattan have hardly yet been felt at this point. For that reason I think that 'the river will continue to rise, how much Ican not say." A rise of two feet more will cause considerable damage and a rise of four feet will flood the south side of the river as far as Third street and will be likely to flood nearly all of North Topeka. The highest point reached by the river was in 1874 when all the low lands north and south of the river were inundated. In the early '808 the river flooded the south side as far south as the Shawnee mills and flooded the north side to Sol dier creek. During the spring of 1884 when the ice In the river went out the river was so high that the city park was flooded and piled with ice and the water extended a block south. The ice jammed against the bottom ot the bridge spans and it was feared that the old iron bridge would be carried away. At noon the river was within six Inches of being over the banks on the north side above the pumping station of the Topeka Water company, three miles west of town. Soldier creek at the reform school was within a foot of being over its banks and was still rising. NEAR 14 FOOT MARK. At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the gauge in the river showed the water up to within three Inches of the 14 foot mark, a rise of three feet and a half since Tuesday afternoon. The men at work on the street car bridge had the driftwood cleared away at noon but during the dinner hour a tree four feet in diameter lodged aginst the piers and in a short time drift wood was piled against it for a distance of 40 feet. The' engines are still being kept busy at the Wolff packing house, keeping the water out of the cellar. The water was within three feet of the floor of the Sardou avenue bridge at 2 o'clock. RAINS ALONG SANTA FE. The Santa Fe has reports of very heavy rains all over the eastern and southern parts of the state. It is reported generally cloudy with indications for more rain. The eastern, middle, western and Pan Handle division superintendents report good rains during the night. There has been no rain so far on the OKlahoma and southern Kansas divisions, but there are rain indi cations in both places. The only part of the road reporting clear weather Is Pur-cell- The government forecast sent out this morning was: "Partly cloudy with possi bly occasional showers tonight and Thurs day." The rain last night measured .28 of an inch In the government rain gauge. TODAY'S TEMPERATURES.

With a rumbling and grinding that could be heard for miles the tunnel on the Lake Erie, Al liance and Wheeling railroad near here, caved In its entire length early today. Work was commenced sonae time ago to uncover and make a cut of the hill and some of it had been accomplished. A few of the men had gone to work this morning and a hundred men were preparing to go in when without warn ing the entire bill settled down on the tracks. Just how many men were caught and injured is not known, but all the doctors from here have been taken to the scene. Traffic on the road will be stopped for quite a while as a result of the dis aster. MISS BROAD TO STAY. T. W. C. A. Tangle is Straight ened Out. As has been predicted In the State Jour nal, the trustees of the ToDeka Young Women's Christian association, at their meeting xuesaay, voted to retain jviiss Harriet Broad as secretary of the associa tion. It went even further and decided that Miss Broad's engagement shall con tinue lor an entire year, witn one montn s vacation, instead of ten months, as has Deen tne custom in tne past. Miss Leeeett. the Dhvsical director, will not be retained. No arrangements have Deen made tor niiing ner place. The old officers of the association were elected, with the exception of Mrs. George A. Huron, vice president, who has re signed. Mrs. J. W. Watson was chosen to nil Mrs. Huron s place. Tne list ot officers now is as follows: President. Mrs. J. C. McClintock: vice president. Mrs. J. W. Watson: treasurer, Mrs. J. W. Going; secretary, Mrs. Charles t spencer. The Y. W. C. A. will this year endeavor to establish a domestic science depart ment, where cooking and general house keeping can be taught. The association hopes to be able to secure Miss Gertrude Coburn, daughter of F. D. Coburn, to take charge of this department. The plan Is to install the necessary equipment for beginning the work in the rooms of the association and ultimately to make the instruction free to all girls and women. Miss Ramage, who is to be in charge of the work during the summer months, as summer secretary, has arrived and will take charge of the summer work at once. SOUGHT NOTORIETY. Cause of a Lawrence Girl Sui ciding in Denver. Denver, Col., July 2. Disappointed In her ambition to become an actress. Miss Pau line Davison, aged 20 years, committed sui cide last night with chloroform. She had been working here as a. domestic the past two months-Her parents live In Lawrence. Kan. She left a note addressed to the newspapers in which she said: "Now, make the most of a good opportunity. 1 am about to commit suicide and I think it is about the only way I can make myself notorious." She left her picture for the newspaper. It is understood she was to have been married shortly to A. D. Fitzgerald of this city, and that her father was op posed to the marriage. STRIKE REPORTED OVER Believed That Santa Fe Has Agreed With Boilermakers. It Is rumored today that the Santa Fe striking boilermakers at The Needles and San Bernordino, and ths company have agreed upon terms ending ths strike, although the contract has not yet been signed. The exact settlement conditions have not yet been given out but it is known that both the men and the company have made concessions. DIVIDE UP STATE. Kansas in the Grasp of a Bridge Trust. Companies Form a Pool to Erect Public Structures. PRICES ARE MADE HIGH Then the Profits Are Divided Among Companies. Business in This State is Tery Profitable. A bridge trust is one of the combina tions which seems to have been doing business in Kansas for a good while without anyone entering a kick on It. The kick has come at last. It is alleged that the various bridge companies which operate in Kansas have divided up the state, each one tak ing certain counties. It is claimed that there is no competition among them although they all submit bids when counties have bridees to build. The plan of operation is this: The counties of, the state are divided among the various companies in the combine. Just how the division is made is not known and there has apparently been no effort to find out. When the county commissioners of any particular county call for bids for a. bridge three or rout companies will submit bids, but the com pany in whose territory that county be longs is nearly always the lowest. If the county commissioners happen to De cranky and demand that personal representatives of the various companies be present at the time of bidding, the lowest bid Is generally high enough so that the successful company can pay tne expenses of the various representa tives out of the profits, so that the coun ty really pays the expenses after alL The bridge business is a good one in Kansas. It has been so for a number of years and will be for many years to come. It is much more profitable here than in older states. The older parts of the state have been putting in iron bridges on the main traveled roads for years, but there were probably never more bridges being built In the state at one time than at present. The cheap bridges are being replaced as fast as they wear -out with substantial Iron ones. In the western counties the Iron bridge business Is Just getting well under way. so it Is probable that the bridge com panies will have a good business for several years. It is claimed that the bids for bridges are made as high as the companies be lieve the commissioners of the counties In which the bridges are to be built, will stand. The county commissioners, as a rule, know nothing about building iron bridges and the cost tnereof. ex cept In a general way. When a lot of bids are submitted, -there-seams to be competition among the various compa nies, and the commissioners take it for granted that the lowest bid Is all right. It is possible that there may be an lm mense profit in even that bid. Occasionally a trade seems to be made so as to make it seem that a rival com pany has underbid the one which gen erally gets the work in a given county, but it is said that there are some coun ties in Kansas In which practically ev ery contract for an Iron bridge in the last five or six years has gone to a sin gle company. A short time ago the Sterling Bulletin published a short item about this al leged trust, and since then investiga tions and comparisons have been star ted in a few counties. It is probable that if a thorough investigation should be made that the division of counties among the various bridge companies could be pretty accurately secured. If it had been a matter In which prl vate individuals had been financially Interested the alleged trust might have been ferreted out long ago, but as it was public business with which scarce ly anyone came In contact In a way to find out the profits in the business, it can be easily seen that it would not be difficult for a combination to work for a long time without discovery.

He is Charged With Favoring the Cleveland Wing. i ARE WRITING LETTERS Sent to Democrats and Republi cans in Third District. Curtis Gets One Butler County Representative. Just before the Populist state conven tion in Topeka last week a number of local Democrats received letters from what purported to be a Democratic com mittee in Washington warning them against Congressman Jackson, of the Third Kansas district. It was claimed that he is a tool of a trust representa tive and attorney in Washington. Mr. Jackson claimed that the letters were sent out by a little- coterie of District Columbia Democrats who were sore be cause they) could not control the Demo cratic patronage. A special from the State Journel s Washington correspondent today Indi cates that there may be more in the fight against Jackson1 in Washington than appeared from Mr. Jackson s story. It Is said to be a direct fight be tween the Cleveland and Bryan wings of the Democracy in the District ot Columbia, and that while Mr. Jackson Is a Bryan Democrat in Kansas he acts with the Cleveland Democrats in wasn- ington. The special from Washington is as follows: "The Bryan wing of the Democrats of the District of Columbia is going to make it as difficult as possible for Rep resentative Jackson to retain his seat in congress. Jackson voted for a man who. is aligned with the Cleveland fac tion for membership on the national congressional committee. and this is something which the Bryan wing will never forgive him for doing. The feud dates back several years, and the two factions are Irreconcilable. "The Cleveland wing of the party here is really in control, and has organized the local committee, but the Bryan fac tion has organized a committee of its own, and has started In to make it hot for Representative Jackson. It is trying, first of all, to prevent his renomination by sending letters into his district, de nouncing him as an unjust and unfair man, and a friend of the trusts. His renomination is most earnestly protest ed against, and these letters are being sent broadcast into the Third district to Republicans and Democrats alike. "Some of these letters are reaching members of the Kansas delegation iu congress, who are asked what the mean ing Of the fight Is. Most Democrats and Republicans cannot understand why they should emanate from a Dem ocratic source. While the fight being made on Judge Jackson will probably not result in his defeat at the congres-i sional convention, the letters will prove very effective campaign arguments for the opposition, and will probably have a great deal to do with his defeat at the polls in November." In the contest over the nomination of a -candidate for the legislature In the southern district in Butler county yes terday afternoon, Congressman Curtis' candidate won. The northern district was conceded to Governor Stanley, but there was a fight between the Stanley and Curtis forces in the other district and the Curtis candidate, S. H. Brandon, was nominated. In the northern dis trict J. B. Adams was renominated. Governor Stanley was present and spoke. In the Fourth congressional district Stanley now has three legislative nomi nees, Curtis has one, and there is one doubtful. The balance of the county ticket nominated by the Republican county convention "at ElDorado was as follows: Treasurer, G. W. Tolle; county clerk, H. A-; J. Coppins; clerk of the dis trict court, G. L. Lane; probate judge, J. F. Glendenning; county attorney, W. M. Rees; register of deeds, S. W. Ben son; sheriff, Sidney Blakeman; super intendent of public instruction, C. W. Thompson; surveyor, Lee Scott; coroner. Dr. C. E. Hunt. The resolution demand that the Kansas senators and represen tatives in congress assist the president In securing Cuban reciprocity. They also demand that the next legislature shall reapportion the state into eight congressional districts. F. G. Hunsicker, of Osage City, has been appointed as a clerk to prepare a consolidated Index to the journal of the house of representatives of the Fiftieth congress. It is a two years' Job and pays $1,600 a year. A rumor has been floating around that W. J. Bailey will select T. J. Schall, editor of the Troy Chief, to be his private secretary when he is elected governor. Mr. Bailey, however, says he has not giveiuthe subject any thought that it ha3 not entered his mind until he heard of the rumor connecting Mr. Schall with the place. "I don't need a private secretary yet," he said. "Wait till I am elected and need one, then I'll pick one out"; .When the Republican state central committee met to consult the Republi can nominees for state officers about the organization of the state committee a short time ago, it was given out that T. T. Kelly, candidate for state treas urer, held the proxy of C. F. Scott, candidate for congressman-at-large, who was In Washington. Now it has leaked out that this was untrue. The proxy was held by W. J. Bailey, and Mr. Bailey cast Mr. Scott's vote accord ing to instructions. Mr. Scott sent his proxy to Bailey, by mail and just be fore the meeting of the committee wired Mr. Bailey to cast his vote for Cy Ander son for secretary of the committee, which Bailey did. Mr. Kelly did not have Scott's proxy at any time. v The Democrats beat 'the Populists again in nominating a candidate for judge to run against Charles Lobdell In the Thirty-third Judicial district. The Democratic and Populist judicial con ventions were both held at Larned yes terday. The Democrats nominated A. H. Wilson of Jetmore. The Populists had two candidates, J. E. Andrews and S. I. Hale, both of Lacrosse. Andrews was formerly on the bench in that dis trict but was displaced when Governor Stanley appointed Judge Lobdell to" fill the vacancy last fall. Hale was the chairman of the Populist state conven tion here last week and is recognized as one of the brightest Populists in tne state. The Democrats were few in number, but they persuaded the Popu (Continued un Sixth Pace.) GIVEN MO BAIL. John C. Lowe, Who Killed Wife, Sent Back to Jail. Held For Murder In the First Degree. AT SCENE OF CRIME. Preliminary Hearing Held at Reform School. Former Teacher Keeps Head Buried in His Arms. John C. Lowe, the reform school teacher who killed his wife, matron of the institution, on Sunday, June 22, was taken to the scene of the crime today and given a preliminary hearing before Justice T. T. Wright. He was bound over to the district court to stand trial for murder in the first degree. The prisoner was not allowed bond and his attorneys did not ask for the privilege, and he will remain in the Shawnee county jail. Lowe was taken to the reform school toy Sheriff Cook at 9 o'clock thi3 morn ing. Court was held in one of the school rooms of the main building. Lowe sat behind his attorneys and kept his face hidden on his arm, except twice when he raised up suddenly to whisper to his attorney. S. H. Allen, who con ducted the cross examination, assisted by.Jtidge C. A. Magaw. STORY OF THE TRAGEDY. The first witness to take the stand was G. A. Smith, the night watchman, who slept directly over the rooms where- the tragedy took place and was the first man on the scene besides the principals of the affair. Smith testified to the lo cation of the building and the rooms occupied by himself and "their location m reference to Lowel apartments. "Did you see Lowe on Saturday even ing before the shooting?" asked Assist ant County Attorney McNary. who con ducted the direct examination on behalf of the state. "Yes," answered Smith, "I saw Lowe and his wife Saturday evening. He told me that he wished to go to town and asked me to take charge of his family of boys and keep his keys until he return ed. I saw him when he came in at 12:30 in the morning and. followed him to the door of his room to return his keys. He thanked me for the service and went inside." Smith then testified to hearing the shots. "I was on duty, until 5 o'clock Sunday morning. Then I ate breakfast and went to my room where I wrote a letter. It was just ten minutes after nine when I laid down, I know it was that time because I laid my watch on a chair by the bed. 1 was tired, and may have dozed, but don't think I did, but I know that I was aroused by hearing a sound which I thought to be the Blam ing of a door, followed instantly by the shriek of a woman. I shouted 'What Is the matter? and jumped out of bed and began- to put on my trousers. Just as I opened the door I heard the noise a second time, and knew that it was a shot. This was also followed by another shot. The woman was screaming Oh h-h-' about as fast as you would draw a long breath. 'What Is the matter?' I shouted again and dashed for the stair way. I had reached the landing of the stairway when I heard another shot then while I was standing there Lowe stuck his head out of the door to his room and said: 'We've had an accident. We are both shot. "I saw that he was bleeding, and the blood dripped from his face onto the floor outside the door. I did not wait to walk down stairs, I just slid down, ana rusned by mm into tne room. Mrs. Lowe was lying on her right side, her head to the north, and her back to the door. This was purely accidental,' said Lowe as I stepped Into the room. Mrs. Lowe turned partly over and looked up at me over her shoulder. 'Yes,' she said, 'it was an accident. "Then Lowe began to tell me how it was, following me to the head of the stairs when I rushed down stairs for help. I think he said something about the gun being on the bureau and that he picked it up and it wouldn't work right." "What attention was Lowe giving his wife while she lay there on tne floor.' asked Attorney McNary. "None whatever," answered the wit ness. Smith was then questioned -on few minor details, such as the size of the rooms. He then continued his story about the shooting. "Lowe followed me to the head of the stairs when I rushed down to quiet the boys who were getting wild, and to call help.' I turned on him and said, .'Go back and tend to that woman.- "After calling help and quieting the boys I returned to Lowes room. Mrs. Lowe had been placed on the lounge by others. She was vomiting blood." "Did Lowe suggest sending for a doc tor?'" "No." -l Smith then testified to seeing the blood stains in t? room and outside the door. In speaking of Lowe s wounds Smith said: "I saw two holes in his head and thought he was shot to kill.' On cross-examination said that be had seen Mr. and Mrs. Lowe together every evening since they came to the school. "What was his conduct toward his wife?" "All right as far as I know." -"Did you see anything to cause you to suspect that they were not getting along all right together? "Yes, on several occasions I saw her when she looked as though she had been crying, and I thought at the. time she was In trouble witn mm. "Do you knowjof anything on her part which would have a tendency to arouse his jealousy?" "I did not, she was aU right in every way, and was greatly respected by the other employes." Smith said that he had regarded Lowe as a "cold-blooded man." When asked what he meant y the term, he said that he was a "great hand to get ac quainted with people, but that Lowe had seemingly repenea nis inenaiy over tures. In the cross examination Smith also said that after the physicians,' Munn and Buckmaster, had arrived and were attending Mrs. Lowe, John followed him outside and asked him about ner con ditlon. He told.. Lowe that his wife would die. "What did he do when you told him that, asked the attorney. "He just raised his hands and said- Mv Go! My God!"" The examination of Smith closed with the Question out by the prosecution: "Did you ever see anything that would cause you to think that Lowe was pf unsouna raina 'I never thought of such a thing. answered the witness. OTHER WITNESSES TESTIFY.' E. M. Meisner, assistant superintend ent of the institution, was the second witness. He said he had known Lowe since the first week In May, 1899. He then testified to tne hour of inspection, 9:30, and said that Lowe and his family of boys were due to Inspection at the time the tragedy took place. He said that, to his personal knowledge, Lowe had not abused his wife, and that she had never told him of any trouble with her husband. "She was a woman who did not tell her family affairs to others," said Mr. Meisner. He said that Lowe was Inclined to be morose and sullen, especially iu the three weeks before the tragedy. He said that Mrs. LoweJs conduct was very circumspect and gave no cause for jealousy. He had seen no tendency to ward violence on the part of Lowe. Clarence Strauthers, a colored boy who is an Inmate of the school and was a .member of Lowe's family, testified that he had heard three shots for sure. He indicated the order and time of the shots by clapping his hands, and sign!-. tied that there had been a longer space between the first shot and the last two, which came close together. While Strauthers was on the stand Lawe raised his head suddenly and spoke to his attorney, the first time he had done so during the hearing. The boy also said that Lowe had asked his wife to go up stairs twice and then taken her by the arm and was so holding her when they went out of sight. Mrs. Charles, wife of the superintend ent, then testified. Her testimony was very interesting as it was .partly about the bruises on the body of Mrs. Lowe. Mrs. Charles was among the first to reach the injured woman, and assisted by others placed her on the lounge. She had ridden to the hospital with Mrs. Lowe and talked to her. "I asked her how the shooting occurred," said Mrs. Charles. She said that she was stand ing In the door when the gun went off and her husband was shot. She started to his aid and the other shots followed. "Don't let them say this was any thing but an accident," she said several times. Mrs. Charles' testimony as to the way Mrs. Lowe was lying on the floor was directly opposite from that of Smith, and it was evident that she had rolled over and turned around facing the door while Smith was going for help. She was asked about wounds and bruises, and said that she had seen many bruises on Mrs. Lowe's body at the hospital. "There were many black and blue places on her arms and legs, and a large one on her back," said Mrs. Charles. "I asked her how she received these injuries, and she told me she had fallen down. I questioned her further and she admitted that her husband had caused the bruises on her arms by pinch ing her." Here Lowe raised Is head suddenly and said something to his attorney. At this time court adjourned for a brief recess and the attorneys and judge ac companied Mr. Charles to the rooms oc cupied by the Low.es, and where the tragedy occurred. The room was prac tically as it had been left ut the time of the shooting, only a few articles having been removed. Bloodstains were still to be seen on a newspaper and bed. After a few minutes the examination was resumed and Mrs. Charles was again put on the stand.- She said that-she asked Mrs. Lowe at the hospital to tell her more about the shooting, but that the injured woman replied that she had made a written statement of the facts. Sheriff Cook was the last witness. He testified to the arrest of Lowe and his actions in' jail. His testimony did not throw any -new light on the case, and the examination was soon closed, Lowe being bound over without bond. KINGl5PM.ES. His Wound is Beginning to Heal. London, July 2. At Buckingham pal ace the following bulletin was issued at 10 o'clock this -morning on the condition of King Edward: "The king had another excellent night and Is making steady progress In all respects.

The following was issued from Buckingham palace at 7 p. m.: "The king maintains his steady pro gress. The local pain being less, the days are passed with greater comfort. "TREVES. "LAKING. "BARLOW." HEAPS OF CASH. Illinois Prohibitionists Throw Campaign Fund on Platform. Peoria, I1L, July 2. The convention of the Illinois Prohibitionists today was a most exciting affair. When the call was made for voluntary contributions the 1,200 delegates went wild with enthusi asm and crowding to the stage they showered offerings upon the stage. It was a rain of wealth, and the chairman and secretary of the conven tion were compelled to retreat from the stage until It had ended. Almost $5,000 in cash was heaped upon the platform. The committee on platform split in the conference, and two platforms were sub mitted to the convention for adoption.

ANTHONY SURPRISED. Teteran Editor Found President Knew About Leavenworth. Also Understood the Local Po litical Situation. Washington, July 2 President Roose velt Is a remarkable man in many ways, and by no means the least remarkable of his attainments is his knowledge of prominent men and their relation to local affairs throughout the country. He knows all that is worth knowing bout every man of any consequence In prac tically every state of the union. As an illustration of the president's abnormal keenness in this direction may be cited an incident which occurred during thet recent visit of Colonel D. R. Anthony, to Washington. Colonel Anthony had met the presi dent once, and for years has bnen a great admirer of the chief executive. His admiration has been voiced in edi torials m his newspaper for many years, and Colonel Anthony has regularly, hialled his paper to the president. Not withstanding all this he doubted if the president would remember him. When he came to call upon the, presi dent, howeveis he found that the latter not only remembered him very w,eil, but that he had read and remembered a, great deal of the reference to himself which had appeared In Colonel Anthony's paper front time to time, and was able to quote from it. In addition to this the president manifested an extraordinary knowledge of local affairs at Leaven worth, and their relation to the post office, concerning which Colonel An thony's visit to Washington was made. Colonel Anthony found that It was un necessary to explain the conditions to the president in detail, as he knew about them already, and was so certain that he had sized the situation up cor rectly that he immediately expressed the earnest hope that the differences be tween the Anthonys and Representative Curtis might be so adjusted as to permit the appointment of D. R. Anthony, Jr., as postmaster. That this was not ac complished was not the fault of the president. It was only another Illustra tion of the president's remarkable abil ity to carry in his mind most all that Is worth remembering bout local poli tics in different sections of the country. When P. P -Campbell, candidate for congress in the Third district, called upon President Roosevelt he invited him to s,top at Parsons about October 1. Mr. Campbell told the president that a rous ing welcome had been planned and that the people of his section were basing great hopes on his acceptance of tho invitation. As with many other invita tions, no decision will be announced un til the Itinerary Is made up by Secretary Cortelyou. Mr. Compbell's Interest in securing the president's visit to Kansas Is said to be two-fold. The last election In the Third district hinged on less than 300 votes in a total of 53,000, and the visit of the president Is expected to make the election so one-sldcd that the Democratic candidate .will have very small show at the polls., McLeod Bros, of Marietta, Kan., have returned home. They have been in Washington several weeks perfecting letters of patent on their automatic weighing machine. While in the east they practically completed a deal for the sale of their rights in the automatic scale patent to the Automatic Weighing Machine- company of Jersey City, N. J. An effort was made during last sum mer to Interest Topeka capital in the machine and establish a plant there, but it was unsuccessful. McLeod Bros, are also the inventors of an automatic cereal package machine, application for patent on which is now pending. Representative Bowersock says that the criticism against his bill to estab lish a federal court at' Kansas Citv, Kan., is unwarranted, and that Topeka and Leavenworth are not viewing the matter in the proper spirit. He says Kansas City, Kan., is entitled to tne c ourt, because it is the largest town in "the state, and most of the litigation which finally gets Into the federal court originates in Wyandotte county. He says that the new federal building at Kansas City has been planned with a jplew to the establishment of federal court there. He maintains that the es tablishment of a court at Kansas City. Kan., cannot possibly injure Topeka and Leavenworth, and he expects to be able to get the bill through at the next ses sion of congress. Representative Miller thinks that he la the victim of circumstances over which he has had no control In the turning down of John H. Wiggam to be post master at Emporia. He says that he does not think the president should as sociate Senator Burton with the ap pointment of a postmaster at Emporia, as the appointment is his and the sen ator has nothing to do with it As Is well known, the president was largely Influenced ln turning down Wiggam by the fact that he associated the matter with Senator Burton, who on several occasions has urged the appointment of Wiggam. In addition to this, how ever, charges have been made against Wiggam, and it Is said they were sus tained. i Representative Scott "was invited by the speaker to preside in committee ot the whole at one of the night sessions last week.- As it was his first Invitation of this character since he has been in congress, he was rather glad of the opportunity.. Unfortunately, however, nobody was ready to speak: when the time arrived, and the night session had to be abandoned. BROOKE TO RETIRE. Major General Has Seen Forty-one Years of Service.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. JTJLY 2, 1902. SPORTING NEWS. The Great Success of a-One Horse stable. 4 Irish Lad Wins Fortunes For Young Whitney. UIS FATHER'S FAILURE W. C. Whitney Owns Finest World's Staples. Horses All Suffer With Attack of Influenza. New Torkt July 2. The chief event of the big day at Sheepshead Bay signified ill over again the now very generally ac cepted theory that the thermometer la a long distance below zero when John E. Madden, the Kentucky horse owner and partner of ex-Secretary of the Navy Wil liam C. Whitney, gets left. As the breeder of Irish Lad, the winner of the Great Trial, he receives $5,000 out "Of the stakes, In addition tione-toird of the first money, the last memJoned increment coming to him by reason of the adroitly managed contract under which the colt passed frum his ownership Into that of the new racing firm of Whitney Duryea. At the time the sale was effected there was a report that the amount of cash involved was somewhere between $15,000 and $18,000, but It was not generally understood that Mr, aiuuuen reserveu in aauiuon 10 me pur Chase price a one-third interest in all the colt's winnings as a 2-year-old. Mr. Madden has sold to E. T. Bedford the fast black mare Antrima 2:15. She will be used for racing purposes. It was also reported today that Iavid Oarrick, who was once' owned" by Mr. Madden, who defeated Effielbert in the annual cham pion stakes two years ago, and who has since been in England, will soon return to this country and will be retired to the stud at the celebrated Kancocas farm. The horse is now the property of Mrs. Lillian Barnes Allison. One of the most remarkable contrasts in racing luck has been given by Harry Payne Whitnev and his father recently. With one horse, Irish Lad, the young man has won more stakes and purses In the last ten days tharv his father in the racing season thus far with one of the greatest racing establishments in the world. William C Whitney has thought nothing of expense in order to satisfy his ambition to own the fastest race horse not only in America, but in England. His plans for this season were on a most lavish and ambi tious scale, but he has had a run of 111 fortune almost without parallel on the turf. Nearly every one of his horses has been ailing, owing to an attack of influen za, which developed In his stable last win ter, and they are only now rounding into anything like form. With racing equipment which cost not far from tl.Ow.OOO, and which was expected to almost sweep the boards this year, the father has only a few minor stakes and purses to his credit, not enough to pay the bill for oats, while his son, with his first venture on the turf, made when he and his friend, Herman B. Duryea, pur chased Irish Lad, two weeks ago, has had nothing but a string of victories. Wrhen Irish Lad appeared for the first time iri the Whitney-Duryea colors on June 20th, young Mr. Whitney bet so much money on the colt in that race that he won him out then and there. A few days later Irish Lad started again. Clarion, owned y the Keenes, was favorite. Young Mr. Whitney played Irish Lad at 2 to 1, but so much money went into the ring on Clarion that the price against Irish Lad went up to 4 to 1. Mr. Whitney kept playing his colt, and got more money on at 4 to 1, it is said, than he did at 2 to 1. Again he won. Saturday he won -a for tune on Irish Lad. The net value of the Great Trial Stakes to the winner was $17, 910, but Mr. Whitney got more than that sum from the bookmakers. At first he Slayed the colt at 3 to 1 to "show." Then is commissioner played the horse straight at 12 to 1. One bookmaker paid out Jti.OOO against $500 wagered by Mr. Whitney's agent. Not a few of those who saw the race believe Irish Lad should not have been better than luird. Mizzen was ridden with poor judgment they think and Martie' Lewis would have beaten either or both Irish Lad and Mizzen had fortune favored her. But all the luck was with young Whitney, and Irish Lad's backers got all the money. RACES ABE CERTAIN-. Abbot, Boralma and Lord Derby Matched at Last. New Tork, July 2. Forfeits aggregat ing $20,000 have, been deposited in the Boralma-Lord Derby and The Abbot Boralma trotting races, scheduled for August. Thomas W. Lawson, owner of Boralma, sent a certified check for $5, 000 as his second deposit on the forfeit to bind the race between Boralma and Lord Derby, and another certified check for a similar amount to bind the meet- lng between Boralma and The Abbot. E. E. Smathers, who owns Lord Derby, sent a certified check for $5,000 to ful fill his part of the conditions, and John J. Scannell, owner of The, Abbot, also sent his certified check for a like amount. As Mr. Lawson had previously de posited $10,000 and Mr. Smathers and Mr. Scannell $5,000 each, there is now up as forfeit money on the races the Sum of $40,000. Forty thousand dollars more remains to be put up on the days of the races. According to the agree ments the winner takes all in both races. i The Boralma-Lord Derby race Is to ne decided at Hartford on August 2, and f now looks as If the Boralma-Lord Der by contest would also go to Hartford, taking place on August 28 or SO. Herbert by a Fraction. New Tork, July 2. Herbert, closing with a run In the last furlong, beat Kamara in the Long Island handicap at Sheepshead Bay. The distance was one mile and a furlong. Despite the fact that he was carrying top weight, 121 pounds, and was to meet such fast ones as Kamara and Roe Hampton, he was Installed favorite with Kamara second choice and Roe Hampton the outsider. Roe Hampton was an added starter and for the first time this year he had the weight that he likes, 106 pounds, but he performed very badly, finishing eight lengths behind Kamara. The finish was so close that none but the Judges were in position to decide, Kamara and Her bert coming to the wire head and head. Captain S. S. Brown lost his most prom ising filly, Mattie Lewis by Sir JDixon Lady Wayward. After being exercised this morning she was taken suddenly ill and died soon afterwards. Martie Lew is ran third in the great Trial stakes Saturday. Racing at St Louis. St. Louis, July 2. The Delmar race track management presented a very or dinary programme to their patrons. The races were run in the heaviest kind of a track and were dull and spiritless. Mudlayia, Flora Levy and Potheen were the winning favorites, the other three vents going to two second choices, and a long shot. Racing at Chicago. Chicago, July 2. The races at Wash ington Park were run on avery stickv track. A sensation developed In the case of Dick Welles, the 2-year-old won der, in the Kenwood stakes. There were only three starters and Dick Welles was held at 1 to a in the betting-, while 15 to 1 could be had against either of the others. There was a long slay at too post and then, the horses ran close together to the stretch, when Stem winder fell back and the others fought it out, Tom Cogao. winning: by length. Cogan belongs -to. 3. G.'HIW reth, who took in J2.370 as a result of the victory. K mi ii i liil JEFF AND FITZ. Both Pugilists Training Hard and in Good Condition. 'Harbin S- rings, Cal July 2-Today Jeffries slowed up for the first time since last Sunday.. His fiesta has hard ened wonderfully during the last week, and his wind has improved. He will begin boxing in earnest this week with his brother Jack and with Joe Ken nedy. The sandbag dn the gymnasium has received much attention, as be swats it arotind as though it did not weigh five pounds. He has worn out every one with him, as his great strength seems to keep him from fatigue. Jeff has been appointed grand marshal of the Fourth of July celebration here. The exercises will consist of parade, barbecue and sports. Fltzslmmon8 la down to fighting weight, tipping the scales in the neigh borhood of 160 pounds. He boxed four rounds each with Wilson. Dawson and Griffin. The way he goes at these men is really surprising. The men go at Fltz as if they would annihilate him, but he is always there with the goods and gives them a little better than they send. The amount of punishment he takes without the slightest notice seems almost incredible. Ball cautioned him about doing too much work today, but Fltz said if he felt it be would slow down.

It is said that Mayor Lowe will veto the bill now before the city government of New York permitting baseball games on Sunday. "What's the use of having the greatest pitcher in the league If you haven't got a team behind him?" asks Sam Crane in the New 'York Journal. Cronln, released by Detroit, Is certain ly pitching clever ball for' the Orioles. His victory over "Rube" Waddell was clean cut and without a blemish. "Bean received his notice of release this morning. About three more could retire with credit to themselves, and Greater New York," says the New York Herald. Christy Matthewson landed one of his benders on Hugh JennKss' arm, with the result that Hughy is now on the retired Ust. Congalton, of whom Manager Selee could not say enough at the beginning of the season, has received his ten days' no tice of release. TJie youngster has fallen off in his batting. Fred Clark, first baseman of the Ogden team of Utah, has signed to play wth the Chcago Nationals. The new player will be used at the first corner and Dexter will be shifted back to third. Jackson, released by the Giants a few weeks ago, is now playing left field for the Los Angeles team of the California lfague. His hitting has not Improved a bit since he went west. The Phillies are playing in hard luck, Jennings is laid up with a broken arm, Dooin with a sprained ankle, and Jacklitz with a sore head, to say nothing of the colonel's mental condition. Whenever "Iron Man" MeGinnity loses a game the Orioles say he got rusty. With his excellent record he can stand It. This season he has pitched 11 winning games out of 18. In no previous season within the past five years has the "hidden ball trick" been worked so frequently as this. Both leagues are using it, and the players are easv victims, especially the older ones. McGraw has opened negotiations with Jack Katoll of the White Sox. The Orioles could use such a clever slant art ist as Katoll. Chicago has to let him go because of the 15-men limit in the league. Figures show the relative positions the two leagues hold in the community. At the American league games of Thursday there were 11,212 spectators, while at the three National league games there were only 5,064. Still another change and the ax again swings among the Giants. This time it is Joe Bean, who loses his head after the management put up $1,500 to Rochester for nla release. Jack Dunn will cover short In the future. Frank Bonner, who was on Friday sus pended by Connie Mack for two weeks, has skipped. He didn't show up with the team and Mack thinks he has gone to one of the eastern league cities. Connie isn't losing any sleep. Rumor has it that Clark Griffith may be forced to retire from the game. He has been suffering from stomach trouble, and while in Detroit he consulted a specialist, with the result that he learned he had catarrh of the stomach. Tbell Is in charge of the team, Griffith avlng gone to Chicago. G. Harry White, the old Georgetown pitcher, has had .unusual success this season in pitching for the Quakers. Fewer runs have been made off him than off any other pitcher in the league. His strikeouts have been most numerous also. Long Pigeon Race. Pueblo, Col., July 2. Twelve of the fastest homing pigeons in the country have left Pueblo to make the longest of ficial raccagainst time ever attempted.

Harvest Hands Held Up on a Freight Train. Two Men Bob Fellow Travelers Near Hutchinson. POLICE CATCH THEM. Resemble the Ben Cravens Out law Gang. Held in Jail to See If They Are Bad Men." Hutchinson, Kan., July 2. Edwin H. Searles. of Kansas City, his two sons and another young man named Williams, all harvest hands and all from Kansas City, were held up on a Santa Fe freight train near here at night and robbed of $3.75. The robbers returned the money, saying they were in the habit of getting not less than $75 at a time from har vespers. The robbers were arrested here later and gave the names of George Thompson and A. T. Wlndom and claimed Kansas City as their home. They were bound over to the district court on a charge of highway robbery. Searles says the reason he had no more money was that he feared being robbed and sent his money home. Thompson fits almost exactly the de scription of Ben Cravens, having bow legs and a crooked foot like the noted outlaw. He Is,, of smaller build, how ever, than the man described in the no tices of the outlaw. There is a reward of $2,600 on the head of Cravens. Thompson and Wlndom were arraigned before Justice Morris. The father, Ed win Searles, and his two sons and the other young man told the story of the hold up and admitted that the money was returned. Thompson then took the stand and said that the hold up was all a joke and that he and Wlndom had not Intended keeping the money. He said that he had learned that the old man and his sons lived in Kansas City near his home and that he intended to "josh" them about the hold up when all got back home. He said the fact that he and Windom came directly into town instead of try ing to get away showed that they didn't attach much importaflce to the hold up and considered it a joke. He denied that be had made the men promise while covered by his gun that they would tell nobody of the hold up. A GOLDEN WEDDING. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Rodgers, of Beloit, Married in 1852.

June CORNELL CREW FOR HENLEY. 4... Terrors An itching, burning skin disease during tie hot, sultry summer weather, is a positive terror and a veritable demon of discomfort. The intolerable itching and stinging are tanta lizing almost beyond endurance, and the unsightly eruption and rough, red. skin keep one thoroughly uncomfortable and miserable night and day. Eczema, Tetter, and, diseases of this type are caused by acid poisons in the blood, which the heat of summer seems to warm into life and renewed activity. These fiery acids keep the blood in a riotous and sour condition, and the skin unhealthy and feverish they inflame the pores and retard perspira tion, when the whole body feels like an over-heated furnace, and the escaping poison burns TORMENTING ECZEMA. Kansas City, Mo., May, 1898. In 1896 I experienced at times patches on the inside of my hands that itched and burned, causing much dis comfort. As time went by it grew worse. I had read medicine in my early twenties (bow 50 Tears of age) and was convinced that I was afflicted with a type of Eczema. I consulted several physicians end a number of specialists, and used several external applications, one of which was claim ed to be a certain specific. I confess, however, I had but little faith in external applications, yet I used them, receiving but slight temporary relief. In February I decided to try S, S. S., and in less than a month I experienced a change for the better, ana by May of that year all symptoms had dis appeared, and I found myself entirely cured, and have had no return of the disease since. W. p; brush. Station A, Kansas City, Me. or check the outflow of the burning fluids through the skin. Only persistent and faithful constitutional treatment can do this. The acid poison in the blood, which is the real cause of the eruption, must be attacked, and when the blood has been cleared of all accumulated impu rities and restored to a healthy condition, then, and only then, will a thorough and lasting cure be effected, and for the accomplishment of all this, no remedy equals S. S, S., which contains all requirements for cleansing and building up the acid blood, and invigorating and toning up the system. S. S. S. completely and permanently eradicates every vestige of poison, thus effectually preventing a fresh outbreak of the disease. Cases that have resisted ordinary treatment for years, yield to the purifying, cooling effects of S. S. S. upon the blood, and when rich, pure blood is again circulating through the system, the itching and stinging cease, the eruption disappears, and the red, rough skin drugs, but is guaranteed a strictly vegetable remedy.

The Solomon river at this point is the highest known since 1892, and still rising. Hundreds of pounds of fish are being caught by means of nets and drag lines, one of which was a buffalo, which weighed forty-two pounds.

To the skin disease sufferer, summer time brings no joy, but is a season of unrest, sleep less nights and incessant pain, resulting in shattered nerves, physical exhaustion and gen eral derangement of all the vital forces. Scratching is a pleasant recreation to one tor mented and almost distracted by an aggravating itching skin eruption. Some find tempor ary relief in bathing and the application of lotions and salves. A few hours respite is gained by such methods, but nothing applied externally can alter the condition of the blood becomes soft and smooth again. Skin diseases appear in various forms sometimes in pustules -or blisters, sores, rashes, or red, disfiguring bumps and pimples but all are caused by a bad condi tion of the blood, and for which S. S.

The Democrats and Populists Held a Session of Harmony. Larned, July 2. The Democratic and People's party convention for the Thirty-third judicial district met in Larned Tuesday. Albert H. Wilson of Jetmore, who was the nominee of the two parties in this district last fall to test the bi ennial election law, .was again unani mously nominated in both conventions.

People at the Chautauqua Will Har the Naval Constructor. Emporia, July i. The success of the Emporia Chautauqua is flattering. The receipts from the sale of tickets and licenses, for stands have exceeded the expenses of the Chautauqua. President Cromer says the Chautauqua will end with an encouragMig profit on hand and that the affair will be an annual event. Great interest is taken in the move ment by the town people and the au diences at the entertainments have so increased that several times the man agement has increased the number of seats in the big auditorium tent. Every train brings in more Chautauqua visit ors. The average attendance at each lecture is between two and three thousand.- The number of tents has reached 150, in spite of the cool weather and occasional rains.

Will Meet Competition of the Hock Island. Connection May ,Be Built to Pe cos Talley Line. Austin, Tex., July 2. The Atchison system is to build some important ad ditions to its lines in Texas, according to reliable information received here. A survey has been made and the con tract let for the immediate building of a direct line of road from Stoneham a station on the Beaumont branch of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, to Hous ton. "While jt is not apparent on the surface that the Atchison is behind this project, the railroad commission -has received advices of an official nature that such is the case. The distance between Stoneham and Dallas by the proposed route is about fifty miles.. The new line will give the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Ke a direct entrance into the latter city by way of Somerville, where connection is made with the main line running to Fort Worth and Dallas and points in Okla homa and Kansas. It is stated on the same authority that it is proposed to shorten the dis tance between north Texas points and Houston ana Galveston by building the line north from Stoneham to a connec tion with the existing main line of the Golf, Colorado and Santa Fe, near Fort Worth. This proposed line would traverse the territory which the new lines of the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf and the International and Great Northern in tend to occupy, and its building is look ed upon as a necessity on the part of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, in order to meet the prospective competi tion of the two proposed roads. An authoritative announcement has been made that the Atchison has deter mined to meet the competition of the Rock Island's El Paso short line by building a cut-off road from a point on its system in Oklahoma southwest to a connection with the Pecos and North ern Texas railway, probably at Amaril lo, Tex. The Pecos and Northern Texas is a part of the Atchison system, and con nects at Amarillo with the Southern Kansas railway, which also belongs to the Atchison system. The Pecos "Valley and Northeastern connects with the Pecos and Northern Texas at Texline. It also belongs to the Atchison. It runs through western New Mexico and again enters Texas at State Line and connects with the Texas Pacific at Pecos, that part of the line between State Line and Pecos being operated under the cor porate name of the Pecos River railroad. UNION IS ORGANIZED. Boilermakers at Point Richmond Are Preparing For Trouble. Point Richmond, Cal., July 2. The boilermakers at the Standard Oil works and Santa Fe" machine shops have or ganized a union. C. D. Rogers of Oak land, state organizer, was present and assisted in the work. There was a large number of those interested present, all of whom signified their willingnss to become members of the organization. The following were elected officers: M. Williber, president, and George F. Cusack, secretary. Another meeting will be held at an early date to elect the remaining officers and complete the organization. NEW OAS PLANT. Pintsch Gas "Will Be Manufactured at Point Richmond. Point Richmond, Cal., July 2. A party of surveyors in the employ of the Pintsch Gas company are at work east of the Pullman house at the yards stak ing off the site for the Pintsch gas plant, soon to be installed here. Hither to the gas for lighting Pullman sleep insr cars and Santa Fe day coaches at this place has been brought from Oak land in large tanks, and the idea of the company in establishing a plant here Is to do away with the expense of transportation.

Many of the men In all departments failed to appear in time for the whistle Tuesday morning because there weren't boats enough to go 'round. Most of them got in by noon. George R. Henderson, superintendent of motive power, after spending a few hours in Topeka Monday, returned to Chicago that evening for a conference with Third Vice President Kendrick. Meredith Shockley, who quit a Job as la borer in the car shops a few weeks ago, has returned to the employ of the com pany and is now in the gang of repair ing heater and gas equipment. Fred Swanson, who left here a few weeks ago to become clerk to the division master mechanic at Needles. Cal., has re turned to Topeka. He was formerly clerk in the freight car sheds here. Ail the passenger locomotives which run in and out of here are being gone over by the painters and on receiving their sum mer renovation, are in presentable shape for the big run of vacation business which the road handles.

He figured on coming in .this morning. If Charles Wallace of the water service makes the parachute leap at Garfield park Independence day, as is scheduled, he will find a large number of water service em ployes in his audience. Wallace has been out west several months and has learned a number of acrobatic stunts which he is likely to exploit at any time. Because of the water which settled In the pit of the new power house Tuesday morning, considerable damage wa done and the proposition of putting men to bailing it out has been considered. Some of the earth walls were loosened by the moisture and slid in, and the repair will require considerable labor. There was another bunch of new em ployes enrolled Tuesday. Among them were John Parkinson, machinist for the water service; Joseph McMullen. Gottfried Degant and Wittis Wolf, laborers in the machine shop; Charles L. Marple, black smith helper; Frank Patton and Jacob Berberlch, car sheds laborers. Owen Callahan, a member off the water service and pipe fitters force, went against a serious reverse Tuesday morning.

Frank Benson, a tinner, left Tuesday evening for Kent, O., where he is to look after matters in connection with the man ufacture of his patent switch lamp. Ben son is the author of a "lamp which while burning for six days and nights contin uously, gives a better light, it is believed, than any in this part of the country. It is to be made by the Coffman-Megeath company of Franklin, Pa., with which John Player, formerly superintendent of machinery of the Santa Fe, is associated. More than 4.000 of these burners are in use on the Santa Fe system and other roads are investing heavily in them all the time. In a grape-vine special from Emporia comes this intelligence which will doubt less not only surprise but quite over whelm the members of the Topeka Santa Fe base-ball team, that the nine from that town is to cross bats with the Reds here Independence Day. The manager of the Reds, though, says he has a game scheduled with a pick-up nine from the boiler shop of this place. Somebody's wrong; who's right? Rev. B. Hampton, a returned mission ary of the Quaker denomination, will speak at the coach shop Thursday noon. Rev. Mr. Hampton recently addressed the gospel meeting Sunday afternoon and his talk at time was so pleasing to his audi tors that he has been induced to appear this week at the shops. Not so much stock has moved lately as was on the road a few weeks ago, al though the traffic has by no means stop ped entirely. Most that comes now is that being transferred from the south to the northern pasteures chiefly to South Dakota.

He was with the Wabash in Illinois pre vious to taking the place which he held withthe Southern California at San Ber nardino. Joke on the Sheriff. McPherson, Kan., July 2. Last even ing while Sheriff Seitz was witnessing a wrestling match between an Italian and a bear, he lighted a cannon fire cracker. While holding It preparatory to throwing it at the bear it exploded, tearing his forefinger and thumb. The hand is not so badly injured that am putation will be necessary, but the sheriff will probably be crippled. TABLE AND KITCHEN.

That all suffering and defects are di rectly traceable, to the disobedience of scone law of our being cannot be doubt ed. All mind and matter, from the in organic atom to the highest form of in telligence is moved, changed and regu lated by fixed laws. When the laws which govern our physical well being are permitted to act harmoniously all is well with us. Any deviation or in fringement on these laws brings the penalty of disobedience. We have learned that much of our comfort depends on that important or gan, ,the stomach. But do we realie that its function is a secondary one, that it must suffer under the arbitrary condi tions imposed upon it by the organs which start, rightly or wrongly, the wonderful process of transposing food materials into active, breathing, pulsat ing and sensitive individualities and forms of lifer Do one-half of the people endowed with ordinary intelligence know what the intended mission of the teeth is, other than for the ornamental effect a perfect set of teeth gives to the face, redeeming what may otherwise be a hopelessly homely countenance? Do we consider why they are placed at the very gate way of life, and how their neglect, more than any other thing under our control, is probably responsible for more of the serious disarrangements of the system than the possibility of our becoming a prey to any of the much talked of and dreaded microbes of disease? If we but keep our bodies in perfect health we need not add the fear of these disease germs to our other daily frets and self imposed worries; for greater than our dread of all outside influences should be the fear of our own ignorance, or what is perhaps less excusable, our criminal neglect of the truth we 65o know. The offense of being t'esponslble foi poor teeth is so great as to be appalling; for possibly more disease, misery and premature deaths result from poor and diseased teeth than any and all other causes combined. Because the work of destroying and "undermining the health by the agency of this evil is so In sidious is all the more powerful' reason why the neglect to assist nature in her construction and care of perfect teeth should be regarded as criminal and punishable as a crime which is unpar donable when it entails suffering on the helpless and irresponsible children, handicapping them with impaired diges tion at the very beginning of life's long distance race. Teeth differ In one important respect from other parts of the animal economy. They do not possess recuperative power. While all other parts of the body are endowed with this power to repair in Jury and replace lost tissue, It is not so with the- teeth, and if decay destroys any part of their structure there is no. possibility of its restoration. This seem ing deficiency is not a fault of nature, who never makes a mistake. Teeth are made of materials more t indestructible than those of other organs of the body; in fact the enamel Is the hardest tisstie of the body and contains a very small percentage of animal matter. When supplied with the proper and requisite elements for their perfect for mation and nourishment they will, in accordance with natural laws, last a life time and not be subject to disease. In fact, the gradual wearing away and loosening of the teeth as man advances to the fullness of his time should be the only Indication of their destructibility. r FIB EAT The New Health Food which contains the easiest substance for the stomach to deal with.

Zu Zu 'H Consider the teeth of the animal that is not subject to the service of man or the unnatural foods this subjection often entails. Unless their teeth have been injured by accident, they are free from decay, and following the law ot nature, they simply wear out with the passing of the animal as it nears the end of its alloted days. 'xne teetn are principally adapted for the tearing, dividing, pounding or grinding of the food Into suitable con dition to be passed on into the stom ach. If this is but imperfectly done, as must be the case when the teeth are defective and many of the most import ant ones entirely destroyed, work Is forced upon the stomach which it was never intended to perform and which it will resent all in its own good time, and when tteeth and stomach are both crippled the way of the transgressor is indeed hard, but not unjust. Uncivilized man as well as beasts, living as they do on naturally organized foods, vigorously employ the teeth In putting the foods in the first and pri mary stage of digestion; and it is re marked that unto the fourth and fifth generation many descendants of the na tive African are still blessed, in spite of their civilized environments, with the enviable, inheritance of teeth which may very appropriately be compared to pearls. Very noticeably perfect, too, are the teeth of those who live strictly in accordance with the old mosaic laws of diet. Therefore, if all animals that live in freedom and on foods of their own se lection, also the African, the Hindoo, the American Indian, and reaching at a sin gle bound up to and including the most intelligent people of the world, the He braic races, we find that sound and per fect teeth and general physical and mental soundness are inseparable. It is comparatively easy to associate cause and effect. Perfection is possible to all if the right materials are furnished and properly utilized by the individual. STALE BREAD GEMS.

Pour a little in bottom of each cup and let it congeal: then put in the tomatoes, with the stem end up and pour more jelly around and over them and set away to harden. Serve each jellied tomato on a crisp lettuce leaf. BLACKBERRY FAMILY PIR. This is a good old fashioned dish, also known as blackberry cobbler. The proper way to make it is to line a yellow earth enware pudding dish with a good plain pie crust or rich biscuit dough: brush the crust with white of egg; then fill with large ripe berries: sprinkle thickly with sugar and cover with a top crust, rolled The primary cause of poor teeth and therefore poor health is the general use of white flour.

You must use gooseberries that are very nearly ripe for this.

While out of town 'he State Journal will be to you lik a daily letter from home. When was It this state was called drouthy Kansas? Kansas has not yet lost Its reputation as a summer resort. The Vlnewood company Is not a bit modest in Its requests to the city coun cil. There has been a strange ominous silence concerning Trego county shale tor several weeks. D. R. Anthony has fired his first anti Curtis, anti-Burton broadside in his Leavenworth Times- One good thing about the adjourn ment of congress is. that it will put a stop to fist fights in the senate. Farmers are already cleaning out their corn cribs in anticipation of the largest crop ever harvested in the state. It Is rapidly approaching the season when the most popular urchin is the one with the greatest variety of noise producing apparatus. Councilman Weber's anti-cottonwood ordinance will meet with few objections. It seeks to prevent the perpetuation oau the seed bearing Cottonwood that is all. The Minnesota Republicans endorsed President Roosevelt and Cuban reci procity. Senator Knute Nelson prob ably has a fellow feeling for Burton of Kansas. If the United States senate is to be transformed into a prize ring why not e' ict pugilists as United States senators. U-'helr encounters would be over so much more interesting. Rev. F. W. Emerson is going right along organizing campaign clubs. Isn't it about time for Charlie Holliday to be gin the work of organisation of the re submission cohorts.. 'At last accounts A. S. Kane and L. M. Crawford were each declaring that Che other is the best fellow in the world and that there never was any tangle la the Topeka amusement situation. Walter Vrooman's scheme to consoli date everything and everybody into one gigantic trust is all right in theory. The only difficulty is to get the people into the trust, and then keep them there. There are not likely to be any more big buildings contracted for this sum mer In Topeka, for the simple reason that Topeka contractors have already Cot about all on band they can manage. When the thing is finally settled, it will be interesting to observe whether the Santa Fe officials or the Santa Fe bollermakers have been manufacturing the most fairy tales about the strike on the coast lines. Senator Burton appears to have stolen a march on the president in the Parsons postoffice after all. He had the Demo cratic foreman in Peter Foley's office appointed. Burton is bound to win President Roosevelt's esteem. Topeka is supposed to be dead broke and running on a highly economical plan, but no one would suspect it who attends the city council meetings and listens to the multitude of ways which the city fathers suggest of separating the municipality from its bank account Kansas father to his 18-year-old son What do you mean by engaging Pro feasor Knockemdown and buying those boxing eloves and that punching bag?

Knowle Is a successful and enterprising citizen and would cive him the vacant seat in the council irrespective of the fact that lie is a Republican. That is the kind of spirit that should control in city affairs. About the first thing I. W. Mulvane aid when he got home from Washington was to get the president of the Republi can Flambeau club to Invite Senator Burton to speak In Topeka, The sena tor probably exclaimed, "This Is so sudden" when ha received the unex pected invitation.

A convict from the penitentiary appeared before tne court ana maae.a plea in nis own behalf. He was aocomoanied by Warden Jewett, and. strange to say. Warden Jewett is one of the defendants of whom be complains. The man. is Ira F. Terrill, who is serving a sentence in the penitentiary for killing W. E. Embree in Guthrie, Okla., on January 3, 1891. He has been in the penitentiary for six years, and he- asks the supreme court to release him on a writ of habeas corpus. Terrill alleges numerous reasons why he is entitled to a writ, any one o which he thinks would entitle him to be released. The killing was committed on the "land office acre" in Guthrie. Terrill claims that Embree. was a pro fessional land office blackmailer. He says -he had Just completed a case before the land office and when he came out of the building found Embree covering his (Terrill's) brother with a revolver, threatening to kill him. Terrill took a hand in the affray to protect bis brother and alleges that he finally shot Embree in self defense. He further says that because of his action in defeating a "Republican com bine" in the territorial assembly he gained the hatred of Guthrie people. He combined the Allison element, to which he belonged, with the Democrats and Oklahoma City Republicans in control ling the assembly, and a part of the deal was that Oklahoma City should be the capital of the territory. This se cured for him the hatred of Guthrie, where the killing occurred, and he claims It was impossible for him to se cure a fair trial from anyone connected with Guthrie. He secured a change of venue but claims that even then he did not get a fair trial and was finally released by tne Kansas supreme court on a writ of habeas corpus and remanded to the custody of the Oklahosna authorities. He claims this was illegal and he ought not to have been taken back without a requisition. He waB tried again and again sent to the penitentiary. He fur ther says some of the journal entries and commitments are false. He says tnat two life commitments and one imprisoning him for 12 years have been issued against him for the same crime, and that he is now held under a com mitment alleged to have been issued by a United States court when ha was tried by the territorial court of Noble county. The same judge had jurisdiction over both, Terrill claims he should have been tried in a United States court as that alone had jurisdiction over the patch of ground around the government land office. The most Important ground on which Terrill claims his release is that the officers of the Kansas penitentiary have no right to imprison him. He claims that the jurisdiction of Oklahoma courts do hot extend outside of Oklahoma. If this contention should hold good in Ter rill's case, it would also hold good in the cases of the other 300 Oklahoma prisoners in the Kansas penitentiary. The supreme court sat in banc to hear Terrill present his argument, but only five judges were present Chief Justice Doster is out of the city and Justice Johnston presided in his place. Justice Jlus is ia Michigan for his health. Terrill was given an hour in which to present his argument. He talked in an off-hand manner and no one hearing him would have suspected that he has been for six years confined in the pen itentiary and this is his first trip out side prison walls. Attorney General Robberts of Okla homa, and Judge J. S. West, assistant attorney general of Kansas, opposed the granting of the writ HURT 25 PEOPLE.

A special to the Times from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: General Manager Dickinson and Superintendent McKeen, of the Union Pacific are here today, looking over the strike situation. Mr. Dickinson said in an interview: "The shops in Chevenne were) not closed as a result of the feeling agains uneyenne, out owing to strike condi tions, the same as the Omaha and the Armstrong shops were closed. The citi zens can rest assured that the shops will be reopened, how soon depends upon conditions, but most emphatically th plant will not be abandoned. The com pany has decided to inaugurate piece work over the entire system even if it takes years to accomplish It, and will not recede from this position.

STRIKERS GIVE THEIR SIDE. Omaha, July 2. Thomas L.

On the refusal of the machinists to ac cept piece work, Mr. Wilson says ma chinists are not to be compared with trainmen, who do not come into com petition with each other. He says such a system would tend to bring them into competition with sweat shop workmen and prevent them from treating as a body with the company. He sums up as follows: "I do not hesitate to most emphati cally say that this trouble was brought about by the arbitrary actions of the Union Pacific road. They wanted the strike: they got it and are apparently glad of it. Since we are forced to it we will see that the men's demands are granted or we will go down to defeat like one man." LOCAL MENTION.

Chief Wilkie Tells What His Depart ment Has Dona, Washington, July 2. The annual re port of Chief Wllkie of the secret service bureau, submitted today to Sec retary Shaw, shows that during the year there were arrested 573 persons charged with various offenses against the federal statutes. New York leading with 85 nrosecutions. Of the offenders 413 were of American birth, the next largest number of offenders being Ital ians. Sixty-three per cent of those ar rested were convicted. The report records the fact that dur ing the fiscal year but one dangerous spurious note was put in circulation, a five-dollar silver certificate, while there was only one other even passable coun terfeit, a one-dollar silver certificate whose makers with their complete plant were captured In Chicago the same day they attempted to put one of their notes into circulation. The report refers to a change and, marked improvement in the New York district, where "the ceula-" tion of '"all silver" counterfeit coins has been reduced more than 80 per cent as compared with the previous year. Reference is made to the continued activity among criminals who make the "raising" of notes a specialty, and it is pointed out that this crime might be prevented by the adoption of a distinc tive size for the notes of smaller denom inations the ones and twos to be say an Inch shorter and one-half inch nar rower than those of five dollars or over.

A Suggestion to Contestants AND WOULD-BE CONTESTANTS IN THE DIAMOND "C" VOTING CONTEST. Your showing in the Diamond "C" Voting Contest can be greatly improved if you go about it in the right way. This way: Get a sample bar of Diamond 'C" Soap, a dozen Diamond "C" premium books, and the same number of booklets giving details of the voting contest. You can get the soap at any grocery store, and the booklets at F. W. Swearingen's, 724 Kansas Avenue. Take these articles with you and call on your friends. Try to interest them in your behalf. Explain to them that Diamond 'C" Soap is as good as any laundry soap on the market, and cheaper than most; that we give handsome pre miums for the wrappers, and that, although the wrappers may be voted in your favor, your friends will get the premi ums. If you can make your friends understand these things: that is good soap, and that they get the premiums even if their wrappers are voted for you you ought to have no difficulty in persuading them to give their grocer an order for a box of Diamond C." That means 100 votes for you. If you have ten friends, and each of them buys a box, you will have 1,000 votes; fifty friends, 5,000 votes; one hundred friends, 10,000 votes. The idea is entirely practicable. It has been tried in other cities, and the results have invariably been satisfactory. THE CUDAHY PACKING CO. .j AESTHETIC.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 2. 1902. ITS WORK IS DONE Congress Adjourns at the Hour Fixed. Exciting Scenes Mark the Last Hours. SANG PATRIOTIC SONGS Members of House Also Yelled and Did Other Things. Speaker Henderson Delivers a Closing Address. "Washington, July 2. In a burst of en thusiasm that has not been equalled since the exciting days of the Spanish war, Speaker Henderson at 5:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon declared the house of representatives adjourned without day. In doing so he said that no house of representatives since the adoption of the constitution had done so much work as this one. The audience to which he made his brief address was a brilliant one. The galleries were banked to the doors and almost two-thirds of the members were In their seats on the floor. The speak er's appreciative words to the members thanking them for their co-operation during the session had touched a responsive chord and they gave him a remarkable demonstration of their friendship and good will. While the cheering and applause were Btlll in nroeress the members on the floor began singing "My Country, 'lis of Thee." It was taken up Dy tne corre spondents in the press gallery over the speaker's chair and by the spectators in the surrounding galleries, and soon the vast hall was rinKine with the swell ing chorus. Other patriotic airs follow ed as the members exchanged farewell, "The Star Spangled Banner," alternat ing with "Dixie." The speaker came down from his rostrum, his appearance on the floor being greeted with "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and a rush of members to grasp his hand. Stand ing in the area in front of the clerk's desk, he, too, joined in the songs, and there was a wild scene when General Hooker of Mississippi, the old one-armed Confederate veteran, took his place by the side of the speaker. Together they sang "iixie." Mr. Candler, a Mississippi Democrat, jumped upon a desk and let out a yell of Jubilation that fairly shook the raft ers. For almost half an hour the jub ilation continued. All this time the spectators remained standing in the gal leries, watching the animated scene be low and Joining in the singing. The adjournment came at the end of a seven and a. half hours session, dur ing which much minor business was transacted. In all 70 bills and resolu tions were passed. The general good feeling in the house had been heighten ed by the victory won over the senate on the item in the naval appropriation bill for the building of a battleship hi a government yard. The closing hour was occupied with a spirited debate between Mr. Cousins of Iowa and Mr. Richardson, the Dem ocratic leader, over the report on the Investigation into the charges made by Captain Christmas concerning the sale of the Danish West Indies. Mr. Cousins ridiculed Mr. Richardson for bringing tne matter to the attention of congress. The latter defended his course. At 5:28 Mr.Payne.on behalf of the com- mittee to wait upon the president, re ported that the president had no furth er communication to make. The speak er then arose and with evidence of much feeling addressed the house as fol io w: "Gentlemen of the House of Represen tatives: Many of us met at the begin ning of this session as friends; many of us at the commencement of this session met as strangers. I believe that we shall all part, when the moment for adjourn ment comes, as friends. The prayer which I made to this house at the com mencement of this congress, that the house would help to sustain the chair In enforcing the rules, has never been for- fotten. You have been, each and all of ou, sustaining forces in aiding me in. the discharge of my duty. For that, my friends. I return my grateful acknowl edgments. I am proud to say that no nouse ol representatives since the con stitution was adopted has in the same length of time done the amount of work that this house of representatives has done. You have done your work like men earnest and honest as you have all been in carrying your convictions so far as possible Into execution, there has never been an hour when the acri mony of debate left scars in any breast in this house. That fact has much grat ified your presiding officer. You have all been faithful and untiring and In the 20 years of my service I have never seen so many friends in the closing nays or a session as 1 now witness. "Now, as we are about to part. wisn you a a sale return to vont homes, and that you may all come back to the next session rested and refreshed. And I ask no more than that you may be as earnest then as you have been in tne session just closed. And now, gentlemen in pursuance of the concur rent resolution of the two houses. declare this session of the Fifty-seventh congress adjourned sine die." The gavel fell amid the wild aimlause that followed. Before it had subsided a group of Republican senators on the west side of the hall, led by Mr. Landls of Indiana and Mr. Hamilton of Michi gan, began to sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee." Immediately the refrain was caught up all over the hall and in the galleries. Then followed the doxolotv. In which the correspondents in the press gaiiery joined, other songs followed "Way Down Upon the Suwanee River." and finally "Dixie," as the speaker and ijenerai .Hooker, tne one-armed confed crate veteran, embraced warmlv. President Roosevelt, accompanied by Secretary Moody, Secretary Hitchcock. Secretary Wilson and Postmaster Payne, went to the capitol in the after noon In order to facilitate the work of congress. In his room In the senate wing of the capitol the president signed the Philippine civil government bill, the naval appropriation bill and other manures that went through in the clos Ing hours of congress. During a short executive session one of the senators undertook to take Post master General4Payne inside, under the belief that a member of the cabinet was entitled to bo present, but Mr. Payne -as escorted out again and informed that while the president was entitled to enter tne executive sessions the priv ilege did not extend to his cabinet. Dur ing a lull in business in the president room the pages came. i- and were pre sented to Mr. Roosevelt. Some secured his signature for their autograph al bums. Soon after congress adjourned the president left the capitol. After a session marked by some of the most heated debates -ever heard in the American congress, the senate ad journed sine die at 6,:30 o'clock in the afternoon. During the last hours of the session there was a sharp debate on the Philippine question, participated in by Mr. Cormack of Tennessee, Mr. finooacr ot Wisconsin, Mr. Culberson of Texas, Mr. McComas of Maryland and Mr. Lodge of 'Massachusetts. The conference report on the Philip pine government bill was adopted with out serious opposition and then, when the "decks" of the senate were cleared for adjournment, Mr. Cormack called up his resolution providing for a con tinuance of the Investigation of tne Philippine committee and for a visit to the Philippines by the committee this summer. This started the trouble and for more than an hour a battle of words was waged. Mr. Spooner delivered a scathing denunciation of the minority of the Philippine committee for what he declared was an attack upon the Ameri can armv. Mr. Cormack denied that any attack had been made upon the army and de clared that any fool could charge such calumny and any parrot could be taught to repeat it. The resolution was referred to a committee, thus effectually killing it. Just- before adjournment the usual resolutions were adopted, including one offered by Mr. Cockrell, the venerable Democrat of Missouri, cordially thank ing the president pro tempore, Mr..Frye, for the dignified, impartial and courte ous manner in which he had presided over the deliberation of the senate. After the adoption of the resolution Mr. Frye delivered a feeling response and then declared the senate adjourned without day. THEIR FINAL ACTS. Lively Tilt in Senate Over Philippine Investigations. Washington. July 2. In the closing hours of the senate the Philippine ques tion was discussed. Mr. Patterson dis cussed the investigation made by the Philippine committee. He asserted that the witnesses Detore tne committee con sisted mainly of army officers who would not give the country the un biased view that the people went. Mr. Patterson also referred to Admiral Dewev's testimony concerning tne agreement for the surrender of Manila before the attack of August 13, 1898. He said this understanding provided thai no American soldier should be killed, but that notwithstanding this agreement General Merritt permitted the soldiers to make the assault witnout any knowl edge of the agreement. He asserted that this revelation canea ror a court martial or a board of inquiry. The lives of American soldiers were too precious to be sacrificed to serve the purposes ol any one. Mr. Patterson declared, in eloslng, that it was tne purpose or tne mr.jorlty to turn the Philippines over to the control of people with money. Mr. Carmack then called up his reso lution offered yesterday on behalf of the minority of the committee on the Philip pines, authorizing that committee to sit during the recess to prosecute Its In quiry into the Philippine question and to visit the Philippine islands in the prose cution of that inquiry. Mr. Kean of New Jerseyuggested that the resolution eo to the committee on contingent ex penses, and Mr. Spooner and Mr. Mc Comas contended that the senate could take no action until the resolution had been passed upon by the committee on contingent expenses. Mr. Carmack, in support of the reso lution, said the committee on Philippines had not considered it. A large part of the investigation by the committee had been a farce and the investigation had been choked, strangled and destroyed. There had been no investigation, he said. Mr. Spooner declared that "the at tack made upon the army by the mi nority of the Philippine commission and of the senate was not only a "farce," as It had been termed, but a wicked and cruel farce. At 3:10 o'clock the house concurrent resolution, providing for the final ad journment of this session ofongress at 5:30 o'clock, was agreed to. Mr. Allison and Mr. Cockrell were appoint ed, a committee to join a like commit tee of the house to inform the president that congress was ready to adjourn. Mr. Spooner, resuming, assailed the action of the minority of the Philippine committee, asserting that It was tha fault of the minority that the investiga tion had been, as stated, a "farce." The Democrats had mistaken the temper of the American people. They knew now. and ought to have known before, that the great heart of the American people demanded fair play. The investigation had not been persuasive with the Amen can people, because they did not favor attacks upon the army, composed of men "far, far away men who are brave and humane because they are brave.' Mr. Lodge, chairman of the committee made an extended statement of the work of the committee. The questions discussed now were about to be taken to the larger tribunal of the American people, and "we are perfectly willing to take tne appeal to that triDunal." He did not think anything was to be gain ed by a continuance of the investigation during the summer. The case had gone to the American people. "We'll hear from them next November. We. will make the appeal if the other side does not. I think I know what the verdict will be." After -Mr. McComas had addressed the senate briefly in support of the army and the majority of the Philippine com mittee Mr. Carmack resumed, saying tnat if it were proper he would call Mr. bpooner s remarks the merest balder dash." "The fact remains," he said, "that the committee failed to perform its duty and deliberately suppressed the purposes of the investigation.". He denied the charge that the minority of the Philip pine committee had assailed the army. After a brief recess the senate at o'clock met again and the approval of the president was announced to the measure temporarily to provide civil government for the Philippines. At 5:10 o'clock Mr. Allison and Mr. Cockrell reported to the senate that the president had no further communica tion to make to congress. At 5:28 o'clock Mr. Frye, addressing the senate said: "Senators, the resolu tion Just adopted by you is very grate- iui to me. My duties as presiding offt cer have been very agreeable and com paratively easy, through you; and my debt is to you rather than yours to me. I hope our dear Lord will keep von all during the coming vacation and permit you to return In strength and health for the duties of public life once more. senators, the hour has arrived for ad journment under the concurrent resolu tion passed and the chair declares th senate adjourned sine die." For some time after adjournment sen ators remained upon the floor taking leave of their colleagues and of friends. IN THE HOUSE. In the house of representatives bills were passed to appropriate 15.000 each for bronze equestrian statues to Count Pulaski and Baron Steuben, the revolu tionary heroes, the statues to be erected, in this city; to promote and raise Naval Cadet William F. Victor to the grade of ensign; to grant certain lands to the south Platte Canal and Reservoir com pany; to pay $5,167 to Anna Isabella von Hemert; senate bill for the suppression of train robbery. At 2:30 o'clock Mr. Payne, chairman or tne ways ana means committee, pre sented the resolution for sine die ad journment. Mr. Sulzer of New York moved to recommit with instructions to substi tute July 3 for July 1. His motion was lost, 51 to 104. and though Mr. Sulzer loudly demanded an opportunity to be heard, tne adjournment resolution with out debate was carried, 137 to 76. Several conference reports on behalf of belated bills- then were hurried through. A bill to make confederate soldiers who enlisted In the union army previous to January 1, 1865, pension able, aroused considerable debate, but was finally passed, 97 to 19. Mr. Payne, Mr. Cannon and Mr. Rich ardson of Tennessee were named as a committee to inform the president that congress was ready to adjourn. Mr. Dalzell, chairman of the special committee to investigate the facts in connection with the purchase of the Danish West Indies, then presented its report, which was ordered printed and referred to the house calendar. Mr. Cousins of Iowa moved to take up the report. Pending that motion, Mr. Un derwood o Alabama moved that the house take -a recess of one hour. It was defeated. 32 to 10L Mr. Cousins then, in humorous fash ion, described the pretentious claims of Christmas in the matter of the Danish West Indies sale. He reviewed the tes timony to show that the whole story of Christmas having attempted to bribe congress was utterly ridiculous. ''There Is but one thing in connection with the whole matter that approaches the silliness and absurdity of the pri vellng diatribe and fictitious tale of Christmas and that is the unparalleled and ludicrous performance of deliber ately and solemnly spreading it upon the records of the American congress, where it must remain throughout all history as a shameless challenge, to the credulity of man." Mr. Richardson, the Democratic lead er, replying briefly, said that when the secret report of Captain Christmas to the Danish government, containing the statements as to the alleged bribery of members, was called to his attention in n affidavit as to its authenticity, he (Richardson) considered it worthy of in- estlgation. He asserted that the proof was conclusive that Christmas was the agent of the Denmark and, indeed, of the American state department. "There is not one lota of proof in sup port of the latter statement," interposed Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania. "I have the proof here, replied Mr. Richardson, who read the testimony concerning the letter of Introduction to Secretary White at London given Christmas by Secretary Hay. Mr. Rich ardson denied that any member of con gress had been bribed. He had simply believed that the charges were worthy of investigation and to that belief he still adhered. The testimony, however, had disposed of the charges, he said. Everybody was acquitted and the report, which was unanimous, so stated. No man rejoiced more than he did that no one had been bribed. Mr. Richardson was still speak ing as the time approached for the final adjournment- Meantime the galleries had filled to overflowing and every member in the city was in his seat. WENT WITH A RUSH. An Example of Quick "Work in Congress. Washington, July 2. The quickest piece of legislation accomplished during the present session of congress was the pass age of a bill appropriating $75,000 for a quartermaster's supply depot at Omaha. Mr. Mercer secured its passage by the house at 2 o'clock yesterday. The committee on military affairs of the -senate reported the bill while the sen ate was in executive session. Senator Deitrieh called it up and the senate passed the bill at 2:45 p. m. The bill was en grossed, enrolled, signed by the speaker and President Pro Tem Frye of the sen ate and at 4:10 p. m. the president signed the bill and It became a law. British to Leave South Africa. London. July 2. The war office has issued plans for the demobilization of the army In South Africa which show that there are 70,000 volunteers, colonial troops, yoemanry, reservists, etc., to be sent home before any of the regulars are moved.

Wilson will help the Populist state committee to test the anti-fusion law in the supreme court.- The Socialists are so numerous in Cowley county that they got up a mass convention of 200 people yesterday and nominated a, full county ticket, includ ing county commissioners. Dr. Gran ville Lowther, the McPherson minister who was dismissed from the Methodist church for heresy, was one of the speak ers. k Their resolutions declare against both the Democratic and Republican parties, demand direct legislation, and endorse public ownership of the liquor traffic as the best solution of that prob lem. Now that congress has adjourned Congressmen Scott and Long are al ready on their way home. Curtis, Cald erhead, Bowersock and Jackson leave Washington this afternoon. Miller will leave Saturday but will stop over In Pittsburg for a visit. (Senator Burton will also stay in Washington till Satur day, reaching Topeka in time to make his speech here Monday night. Claude Duval, fusion candidate for secretary of state, will speak at the Fourth of July celebration at Hutchin son along with W. J. Bailey. Duval is a spellbinder, too. The fact that the Populist state con vention last week neglected to con demn Governor Stanley and his admin istration in its platform is caus ing considerable comment. Th man who wielded more influence than any other on the platform committee was Edwin Taylor of Wyandotte coun ty. He ii; not the kind that is always "condemning" just because his party If not in power. It is probable, howeve-, that some of the other members forgot all about Governor Stanley. Wilson County Citizen: At Winfield, last week, when the Republican con gressional convention was held, the edi tor of this paper was asked if he knew how Sam Lappin ran for state treasurer in 1874 how many votes behind other Republican nominees. Except Gover nor Osborn, the other state candidates received 20,000 plurality, Webb Wilder's, for auditor, being the highest, whil: Lappin's plurality was 9,744. That year the total vote of the state was 86,000. Now the state polls over 300,000 votes. Burllngame Chronicle: That man Stan ley is again proving a puzzle for the poli ticians. Curtis is running for senator, with the national committeeman and Senator Burton and all their organization and ma chinery back of him. Loner, too. is run ning- with manager and organization, with the Indorsement of the national adminis tration. Stanley has been cantering along at a gait of his own, without a manager or machinery, and the other fellows have been laughing about Stanley's "one vote." But thev have ault lauehlmr. There are now thirty-eight nominations made for the legislature, ana Stanley s one vote has increased so that he has about many as the other two fellows put to gether. There are some scattering for Bowersock nd Calderhead. but Stanley is away In tne lead. He has a peculiar way ol doing tnings. w nen ne was elect ed governor, a great many went to him and told him who should be appointed to run the state institutions. Stanley listen ed and appointed men of his own selec tion. His advisors were somewhat dls uTiintled. but as time passed and they no ticed the institutions, they saw an Im provement In conditions, they saw better service and less expense, they saw men rintne their dutv. not merely turning their office into private snaps, drawing their pay and "letting thing go.." If they visit cA the erovernor"s office asain. they no ticed a change there. The "executive r-lork" was cone, other hansters on at the office who were usually placed there for pomp and pay had disappeared. Tne gov rnar Kcretflrv. and a stenographer are running the whole business and time to spare. Stanley nas -a Bimpie way ui uu- ing good things enectiveiy. FINE KAISAPPLES. "Apple King" Wellhouse Says Prospects Are Excellent. Kansas apples will supply the tables of the rich and bring the fancy prices in the eastern markets this fall and winter. The prospect for a crop of first and fancy urade aDoles was never better In this state, is the announcement of apple men. "The apples at the present time are four times larger than they were at this time last year" declared the Kansas Ap ple King, Judge Fred Wellhouse, to a re- year on the first day of August the ap nUa wii hnrrilv larcer than an English walnut, ana ims year at una nmo ure first or July, me appies uveiato up uu size of lemons. "Last year under the adverse clrcum sstannes on account of the dry weather. we had over 400 Barrels or laney appies which brought the hlgnest prices in tne market. The orosDects at this time this year indicate that tne largest per cent of the crop ort our 1200 acres of apples will be graded as tancy appies ana win "The apples from Kansas are sure to be In demand tnis year ne continueu. "The crop In New York state, which us ually governs prices all over the country will be exceedingly poor and the apples of an inferior grade, connicung reports am llnr sent out from New York in re gard to tne appies mere, dui it is a tact that the crop was badly damaged by frosts early In the season. "Our apples will all be of an excellent uaJitv. We expect that they will be un usually large because of they fact that they have grown so large already. The apple crop is assured now. There is moisture enough in the ground to make th proo if it should turn around now and no rain fall the remainder of the season. The ground is full of water. We will have this Tear about the same size rroD we had last year. We estimate It will make 35,000 bushels. Only 1200 of the 1600 acres or our lar.n are Gearing well this year." In soeaklnK of the corn situation. Mr. Wellhouse extends a cheerful view. He declares that the corn in this section is assured also, whether or not more rain falls. "The corn is already in the tassel and the ears are beginning to silk" he said. "I expect that the corn crop will this t-Mr exceed all other records and that no other state will have so large a crop. There Is enough moisture in the ground to make the crop, and there seems to be no cause for worry on account of fear of a poor crop. Killed One Brother. VnnnMtown. O.. July 2.

Chaffee has sent a letter to the board which is inquiring Into the charges of cruelty brought by Major Cornelius Gardener, governor of the pro vince of Tayabas, Luzon, against Ameri can officers and soldiers, saying that the abandonment by Major Gardener of the charge that higher officers In the army in the Philippines were hostile to the civil tovernment there was not the answer that ecretary of War Boot expected from him. General ChafTee wrote also that Major Gardener was not a judge of the effect of proving this eharge and that the ac tion of Secretary Root In convening the present board was taken in order that Major Gardener should produce witnesses. The abandonment of the charge by the major led to the Inference that It was false: but true or false, continued General Chaffee, it affected injuriously the charac ters of higher officers. The board has demanded of Major Gard ener that he produce testimony covering the alleged hostility. Major Gardener promised to answer this communication later. Council for Major Gardener, when ques tioned on this matter outside of court, said he would refuse to produce witnesses. He declared that Major Gardener's report to Civil Governor Taft was confidential, and that the major would only produce witnesses to protect himself if court-martialed. At today's session of the board Major Gardener testified that he had withheld the names of other witnesses at Lucena in Tayabas province because of the atti tude of the recorder of the court. OKLAHOMA OFFICIAL HERE. Att'y Gen. Robberts Will Represent Territory Before Supreme Court. J. P. Robberts. attorney general ol Oklahoma, is in Toseka today to practice before the supreme court of Kansas. He will represent Oklahoma Territory in two habeas corpus cases before the Kansas supreme court. The cases are both brought by Okla homa convicts in the Kansas penitentiary and while they are directed against the prison officials of the Kansas penitentiary the Oklahoma authorities must defend in the suits. One ease is the famous Terrill ease, which, if the writ of habeas corpus Is granted, will result in Oklahoma being minTHllal to take her 300 prisoners out of the Kansas penitentiary and take them home as soon as possioie. The other case is the application of Ed ward B. Justus for a writ of habeas cor pus. Justus was sent to the penitentiary i isqr i1. ii- rh. murder of Martin L. Dun can in Kay county, Oklahoma.

Hearier Rails Are to Be Put Down. CARS TO BE CHANGED. New Ones Are to Be Purchased as Required, Expenditure of 100,000 is to Be Only a Starter. President Baker Brings Good News From New York. President C. C. Baker of the Topeka City railway returned Tuesday after noon at 3 o'clock from New York, and announces that the owners of the road have authorised the immediate expendi ture of a sufficient sum of money to put the property in first class condition throughout. "We are authorized to use $100,000 as a starter," said Mr. Baker today to a reporter for the State 'Journal. "The money will be expended under the direc tion of Charles Blood Smith, the at torney for the company, and myself. At present it Is impossible for us to say just how the money wtll be used, or what improvements will be made, but the plan is a comprehensive one and In volve the laying of new rails, the pur chase of new rolling stock and a general reconstruction of the road. "There is only one thing that can pre vent the expenditure of this money, and that is the granting of a franchise to some other railroad corporation for a rival line in Topeka. If such action should be taken by the council, it is likely that our plans for the expensive improvements will be changed. "We expect to first lay new rails on Kansas avenue and on West Sixth ave nue. The 35-pound T rails will be re placed with 60-pound T rails, and in place of the 35-pound girder rails, we will use an S5 or 90-pound girder rail. These new girder rails are taller than the present girder rails, so that the granite block pavement can be used. "We also expect to .relay the track to Garfield park as Boon as possible with heavy rails. Of course, it takes considerable time to get rails nowadays, but we expect to be able to commence our line of Improvements before the end of the present summer. "The rolling stock will be added to gradually. We do not expect to im mediately replace all the present cars with new ones, but will buy new cars as fast as necessary.- I am unable to state what kind of cars we will buy. The plana have not developed that far. "We do not think it necessary Just at present to make any changes in the equipment of the power house.. The power house gives aboundant power for our needs. In regard to the extension of lines, the building of the new car barns and repair shops, I can only say that tnese improvements will be made as rapidly as we find it necessary. "The general plan of the company is to go anead witn all necessary improve ments as rapidly as possible. There has been no limit set on the amount o money which we will be allowed to use. We are to put the road in good shape in every aepartmenk.' Mr. Baker was asked whether any ne gotiations were pending for the sale ot tne road to any other comnanv. "Xo such deal is pending. The road is not ror sate ana wm not be for sale. rurtnermore, 1 can say that there is no possibility that any -Kansas City line will come Into Topeka over our tracks. jiy trip to New York Had nothinsr what ever to do with either of these matters. went to confer with the officials and owners of the road, and the principal tlung discussed was the betterment of tne property."

Mrs. Coffelt on the Stand in the Montgomery Trial. Winfleld, Kan., July 2. Mrs. O. W. Coffelt was the principal witness for the defense in, the trial of her husband Tues day. She described their experience in Oklahoma during October and the trip to Texas. She also gave testimony i" regard to their being brought back to Oklahoma by Sheriff Foster and Dr. Patten. She denied that she had ever told, or that her husband had ever told in her presence, either one of these par ties that they "had worse troubles than the bond jumping affair." The defense rested in the morning and the state introduced rebuttal evidence, most of which was to the effect that defense's witnesses who had testified In order to establish a Coffelt alibi were not men of good standing in their home communities.

Hackney's cross examination brought but the fact that the majority of them were brought here to testify by and through the Santa, Fe agents. The state rested at 4:30 and the de fense was given until 9 o'clock today to introduce their rebuttal. WHAT UNCLE SAM OWES.
