LAST EDITION. FKIDAT EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JTJ1VF 4, 1902. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. iiiiiit iiAinri WNMI H UUIdt! Everybody Appears to Be Cele brating the Fourth. More and Bigger Fire Crackers Than Usual. HOW IT ALL STARTED. Original Observations About the National Holiday. Flags and Bunting Seen on many Residences. N. B. This Is the Glorious Fourth of July, which occurs annually on July 3, 4 and 5, and sometimes worse. It was discovered by a party of congressmen "about 1776. in the vicinity of Philadel phia. The prevailing impression that the Fourth of July was invented before the advent of the Christian era is un doubtedly incorrect. Existing barbari ties are due wholly to the trusts; the fireworks trust, the ammunition trust and the beer trust. When the determined, band of con gressmen aforementioned captured the Fourth of July, they entered Into a written contract with it which is known as the Declaration of Independence. This contract provided for a large amount of shooting during the next four years, together with an appropri ate number of people killed, wounded and maimed for life. Today all patri otic citizens, are trying to give an imi tation of the way that contract was carried out. Little Willie Protects His Big Sister. Some people try to take advantage of the fact that all the writing on the or iginal declaration has faded out, and insist that the intention was that ev erybody should get drunk. This is an invasion of Anglomania, and should be resisted. Only Englishmen are entitled to celebrate the Fourth by getting drunk. In memory t of the way the red coats did at Trenton in 1776. The Brit ish got into trouble as' a result of this indiscretion, and so do their imitators even unto this day. The Fourth- of July piontc Idea Is per petuated in memory of the picnic which George Washington gave to a large number of his compatriots at a winter resort known as Valley Forge. The original plan has been changed in some minor details. People nowadays gen erally wear shoes and stockings, and have plenty, to eat. The blizzard fea ture has also been abolished as imprac ticable. There are only three ways to have a good time on the Fourth. One must either be a child, an idiot, or get out of town. Judging from the racket which is going on at this writing, most of the adult population has entered the second class, and the competition for supremacy is very keen. It Is certain that the idiots are not all dead, but if things turn out right, they may be be fore night. For a regular star-spangled, red wrapped idiot, the adult male citizen takes the prize pastry. He runs up and down Kansas avenue shooting a nickel-plated cannon in the ears of in offensive citizens,- and exploding dyna jnite bombs under the feet of terrified horses. However, it may be that this is too severe. Perhaps there is nothing in the bombs but lydditeor nitro-glycerine. 'A. Sad Accident to Little Willie's Auntie. Children may be excused for their offenses because of their youth, but It is doubtful. The man who tried to go to sleep last night when 47 small boys across the street were "bringing in the Fourth" may be prejudiced. He may have been cruel when he expressed the iervent nope that tne whole squad might De consigned to that p:s.ce where fire- works are said to be perpetual. The chief objection to the small bc-y is that he begins to celebrate -on Julv a and keeps it up for about three days, if he lives. Small boys have too much en thusiasm, clt runs over at both edges of July 4, and ought to be trimmed off, like the surplus crust is trimmed off irom a pie. It Is appropriate In discussing July 4 to remark that flags floated from all the business houses on Kansas avenue; that the beautiful residences in all parts of the city were draped with a profusion of bunting in the national colors; that the multitude of bells in the city chimed out the grand old story of America free and Independent, now and forever, in hoc signo vinces and sic semper tyrannls. The reader will please consider this remark as having been made. It is about as true this year as usual. In order that this enterprising news paper shall not be scooped bv the morn Ing publications, it can also be added that Topeka never before saw such a brilliant display of fireworks this even ing. Hundreds of rockets blazed their way into the starrv heavens and rival led the constellations in brilliancy and grandeur. The whizzing of the pin Vbla ana the bursting of flower-pots surpassed all the previous efforts of our patriotic citizens. This covers the story. There is nothing more for the morning papers to say. The accompanying pictures illustrate "The Life and Adventures of Utile Willie on July 4, 1902." Little Willie Prepares for His Masterpiece. As Little Willie was sauntering throueh the state house grounds this morning, trying to avoid the noise and confusion of Kansas avenue, he ais covered his big sister sitting in a se cluded nook reading Bunyan s Pil grim's Progress," or some other late novel. With her was a tall and nana some Santa Fe office clerk. To protect his sister from harm and cheer her In case she should be alarmed "by naughty boys who shoot Are crackers. Little Wil lie sneaked up behind the bench and sat down to rest. While sitting there he discovered a large cannon cracker lying on the ground. Fearing lest it might explode, Little Willie lit a match to examine .it closely. -By accident he touched the fuse of the cracker, and a terrible explosion occurred. Little Wil lie was much surprised and grieved. On returning home, he found that his mamma's sister. Miss Withering, aged 45, of Tecumseh, had come in to spend the day. It pains us to state that Wil lie had acquired a prejudice against his auntie because she persisted in wash ing her false teeth in her water glass at the table. But In spite of it all, he planned a little surprise for her which proved to be a great success. The pic ture tells the tale. Farewell, Vain World, I'm Going Home." Willie got through the day safely and at night he united with his little friends in shooting his fireworks. "Among other things, Willie's papa had given him a 10-pound rocket. Not being accustom ed to reptiles of that specie, he sug gested to one of his playmates that they fire the big rocket without waiting for papa s help. Willie held the stick, and the other lad lit the fuse. Poor little Willie's funeral has been indefinitely postponed, because he has not yet been found. The family will hold the usual services over the rocket-stick, which returned safely to earth. AT GARFIELD PARK. Big crowds are expected at Garfield Park this evening. The high dive comes at 7:30. Marshall's band 7:30 until 8:45 and the vaudeville show until 10:45. The bill at the night performance will be supple mented with moving pictures of the opera "Cinderella." WILL REMOVED. Rock Island Passenger Office Goes to Kansas City. E. W. Thompson May Succeed Mr. Sebastian. Rock Island changes have been com ing so fast since the road has passed under the new management and the plans of operation have been, reorganiz ed, that radical changes have ceased to be regarded in the light of startling moves. Important changes are now looked upon as commonplace. The latest move that seems to be defi nitely settled upon Is the removal from Topekaof the office of the assistant gen eral passenger agent. A few days ago Mr. E. W. Thompson received instruct tions from Chicago to look for quarters for ins department at Kansas uity. Accordingly the office of the passenger department for, the lines west of the Missouri river as well as the general freight office is to be established at the Missouri river metropolis as soon as adequate otnce room may be round. The latest rumor which seems to have foundation is that E. W. Thompson, who is assistant general passenger agent at Topeka has been decided upon to succeed John Sebastian who was moved up from the position of general passen ger traffic manager of all the lines of the Rock Island system. v The news of this cnange seems to have reached Kansas City before reaching Topeka. The .officials of the road here disclaim any knowledge of the rumor. The promotion of Mr. Thompson seems quite likely. He has been with the .Rock Island at Topeka for a number of years and is thoroughly familiar with the duties and details of the department. He has been regarded as one of the strongest passenger men in the service. It has not been announced who has been selected to, succeed him as assist ant general passenger agent. It is a fact, however, that two men are be tween Mr. Thompson and the office held by Mr. Sebastian. L. M. Allen is first cssislant general passenger agent and W.J. Leahy is assistant general passen ger agent of the lines east of the Mis souri river. Mr. Thompson is in Chi cago, having been called in by the of ficials last Sunday. Another change that is rumored is the curtailing-of the Jurisdiction of A. L. fftu der. assistant superintendent of motive power and equipment at Horton. It is said this office is to be abolished and that Mr. Studer is to be made master mechanic, having jurisdiction only over the shops at Horton. CHEER FOUR MILES LONG. Half a Million People Turn Out at Pittsburg To Welcome President Roose velt to the City. RIVAL CANDIDATES Pennypacker and Pattison Rode in Same Carriage. Cheering Drowns the Music of the Bands. Pittsburg, July 4. Half a million per sons greeted President Roosevelt in Pittsburg today. They came not only from Pittsburg and Allegheny.but from the scores of industrial towns within 100 miles of the city. It was the dis tinguished guest's first visit to Pitts burg as president and his welcome was most enthusiastic. From the Union sta tion to the speaker's stand in Schenley park,' nearly four miles away, it was one continuous cheer. The weather was all that could be de sired, with the sun shining brightly and the temperature not too high. Presi dent Roosevelt reached the Wilkins burg station of the Pennsylvania rail road at 8:05 o'clock this morning. At that point, which is within the city limits, a local reception committee, headed by George T. Oliver, boarded the train. The run into Union station con sumed 20 minutes during which time the members of the committee were in troduced to the presidential party, At torney General Knox, who is a Pitts burger, making the party acquainted. As the train passed Shady Side station, a railroad signal communicated the fact to Hampton battery B of the Penn sylvania National guard, stationed at Bedford avenue basin overlooking Un ion station. The guns of the battery immediately commenced to boom forth the president's salute of 21 guns. The last gun of the salute was fired as the president stepped from his car. The president was then escorted to his carriage. Those who occupied the car riage with the president were City Re corder J. O. Brown, United States At torney General P. C. Knox and George B. Cortelyou, secretary to the president. The other carriages in waiting were promptly filled by the reception com mittee. The bugler of Sheridan troop sounded the assembly call, which was the signal for Brigadier General John A. Wylie, commander of the military escort, to order the movement of the column. The marchers numbered 3,000 men, representing the Eighteenth regiment,-, the Fourteenth regiment, the Tenth regiment, which saw Philippine service, Sheridan cavalry troop of Ty rone, the boys brigades and independent military organizations. At a signal from the bugler of the Sheridan troop. General Wylie and staff moved from their position at the Liberty avenue approach to the Union station to the head of the column and directed the start and in a moment the whole line was in full swing on the four-mile route. RIVAL CANDIDATES RIDE TO GETHER. Among the prominent guests who rode in carriages were Gov. W. A. Stone. Con- fressman Dalzell, Congressmen Acheson ack and Graham. Interest centered in the unique feature of the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor. Judge Samuel W. Pennypacker and Robert E. Pattison, respectively, both of Philadel phia, riding together In one carriage. They were accompanied by George T. Oli ver and Albert J. Barr, editors of Repub lican and Democratic papers, respectively, of this city. Flags and bunting fluttered everywhere iff lllP I- x f 'i President Roosevelt in Characteristic Speaking Attitude. along the course of parade. People crowd ed the windows of the tall buildings, yell ing themselves hoarse in greeting the na tion's chief executive. The greatest ova tion came as the line passed up Fifth avenue to the top of Grant's hill. High buildings on either side of the street of fered fine vantage points for fspecta tors. When the head of the- military escort reached a position opposite the speaker's stand It was halted and stood in company front with arms at present. As the presi dent and those in carriages passed in re view the band .struck up the stirring strains "Hail to the Chief." The music was fairly drowned by the cheering of the 200,000 persons in the stand and occupying vantage points on the amphitheater-like hillside. Following the band piece the United German societies of Allegheny stationed at one side of the stand and made up of 600 voices, broke into singing- "The Star Spangled .Banner." At the close of the song the invocation was pronounced by the Rev. John H. Prugh. The Declaration of Independence was read by Brigadier Genera Willis J. Hulings and then fol lowed the oration of -the day by the pres ident of the United States. After the address the German singers sang "America" the vast audience Joining in the words of the final verse. Follow ing this, out of compliment to the German ancestry of the distinguished guest "the Lord's day" was sung in German. The benediction was then pronounced by the Rev. Dr. T. N. Boyle, presiding elder of Pittsburg M. E. conference. The exercises consumed Just one hour. The president immediately re-entered his carriage and surrounded by the Sheridan troop, was driven to the residence of H. C. Frlck on Homewood avenue, where he was tendered a luncheon and reception which was joined In by a number of pro minent Pittsburg captains Of industry. As the president left the park Battery B fired the national salute of 45 guns from a tall hill top. CAN MOVE IN BED. King Edward's Condition Con tinues to Improve. London, July 4.

Convict Tracy Who Escaped From Oregon Penitentiary, Passes a Red Letter Day in His Career of Blood. KILLED TWO OFFICERS Fatally Wounds Two Others and Eludes His Pursuers. $5,600 is Now the Amount Of fered For His Capture.' Seattle, Wash., July 4. Convict Tracy has just passed the red letter day in his erratic career. He killed Policeman Breeze and fatally wounded Nell Raw ley, in the city limits after having mur dered Deputy Sheriff Charles Raymond of Snohomish county, and probably fatally wounded Deputy Sheriff John. Williams of King county, early yester day. In his hopeless flight for safety with no consideration for human life, Tracy has covered probably sixty miles. He was first encountered by a Seattle posse near Bethell at 6:30 o'clock in the morning. Evidently the convict caught sight, of his pursuers before they saw him. He had taken a commanding posi tion In a clump of huge firs and opened fire before he was discovered. He fired five shots in all. Raymond was in stantly killed by one of the Winchester rifle bullets. Another struck the raised rifle held by Williams, splitting it in four parts and entered the deputy sheriff s breast. He will live. It is be lieved at this time. Governor McBrlde of this state who is in the city with Adjutant General Drain of the state national guard is taking the keenest interest in the case. He has announced a reward of J2.500. This with others, offered by relatives of other vic tims of Tracy's rifle, brings the total to J5.600. Sheriff Cudihee returned to the city at 2:30 o'clock this morning, leaving on watch a large number of deputies, who will be relieved in the morning by the militiamen. Shortly after 8 o'clock in the evening Tracy was located in the home of Mrs. R. H. Van Horn at the southwest cor ner of Woodland park. The news was conveyed to Fremont by a butcher's boy .who broke the intelligence just as Sheriff Cudihee drove into the su burb from Bethell. The house was quickly surrounded but Tracy again exemplified his unprecedented luck and iron nerve by deliberately fighting his way through the guards, killing Po liceman Breeze and mortally wounding Guard Rawley. and disappeared into the brush towards Ravenna park. Sheriff Cudihee twice had a bead upon the desperado, but was unable to fire for the reason that the fugitive had ta ken the precaution to walk between two Impressed men whose lives would have been imperilled had the sheriff opened fire. As soon as the last skirmish was over and the body of the dead policeman to gether with Rawley, who was found to be wounded in the right side, could be removed from the road and the latter placed in an ambulance. Sheriff Cudihee summoned all the assistance available and immediately began strategic move ments in an effort to surround the flee ing murderer. Tracy went In an easter ly direction toward Ravenna and once well within the shadow of the under brush and lumber which skirts Wood land Park, no human eyeY could pene trate Its gloom. Seattle, Wn., July 4. The story of Tracy's flight -In the gasoline launch Is thus told by Capt. Clark: "We were In company of Tracy 'from 9 o'clock in the morning until half past six in the evening. All day he dis played the most daring recklessness regarding the taking of human life and all day he exercised the most exacting vigilance to prevent us from getting the drop on him In any manner, or even from discussing the matter among ourselves for the purpose of' forming a plan for sumuftaneous action. We were all unarmed.. "On just one occasion during the day did there seem to be for a single mo ment an opportunity to take him at a disadvantage. That was when off Mc Neill's island, when he leaned over the side of the launch to take a shot at the seals. That was the only time during the day he actually shot off his rifle, though he was constantly pointing it at men and "objects. The seal was on the surface of- the water, some 200 yards from the boat, and In a spirit oT bra vado, he raised the rifle and fired At it. He missed the seal, but the boat was rolling some and the ball struck in the water immediately over it, showing a first-class shot. ;As he was firing the chance for which -I had been watching seemed to present itself for a moment, and I made a move towards him, thinking to push him over the barge while his back was turned. As I did so he -raised up slightly,' as though he had abandoned the idea of shooting and hi order to elude any suspicion on his part as to my Intentions, I turned my face away as though to look after the boat. He fired and before I could return my at tention to his1 actions, he had turned around and reloaded his rifle from the chamber. "1 had been working for the Capital City Oyster company, the launch being under charter to the company to carry oysters from one" bed to another. I en tered the company's house about S:30 in the morning and found a man with a gun there beckoning me to the door leading to the stairs. I supposed the boys were playing some prank and paid no further attention-to him or to the other men, but proceeded to eat break fast. I noticed that the rest of the men seemed to be unusually quiet, buf even that -did not cause me-to look around, my mind being on other matters. As the -other men "had already' been -ap--prised of the "conditions they were un communicative.. "When through breakfast I reached my hand in my pocket and then for the first time since I had entered, the stranger spoke, saying: "Take your bands out of your pockets, captain, you have a gun there. It is no use for you to" draw It." -1 'Who are you? I demanded, turning around.. Tracy, he replied- "Then after ordering the cook to put hire up a lunch, he ordered four of us to tie the other two men in the party and then proceed -to the launch. Ar riving at the launch he helped us to get underway, all the time keeping his bands on his rifle." Tracy's Partner Caught. Boise, Idaho.

Rock Island Express Looted by Masked Highwaymen. Assistant Express Messenger Shot in the Groin. Joliet, III., July 4. Four bold and des perate highwaymen last night held up train No. 5. one of the fastest on the Rock, Island road. The train was mov ing at the rate of forty miles an hour, when two masked men climbed over the tender, and, leveling revolvers at the engineer and fireman, ordered them to stop. The engineer at first supposed it was a Fourth of July Joke. He was ordered to obey or lose his life, and he put on the air brakes. The men then ordered him to dismount and made him walk to the express car as a decoy. He was ordered to ask the messenger to open the door. When the messenger appeared the burglars began shooting and threatened to blow up the car with dynamite, un less he gave up the valuables in Ills pos session. Assistant Messenger Kane drew a pistol and was shot through the right groin. One of the highwaymen then ordered the engineer to put out the headlight and uncouple the engine. This last effort was unsuccessful. The mes senger at the point of a pistol was made to carry a bag containing. jewelry, over to a fence, where it was leisurely ex amined. Oliver M. Olsen. the news agent, and Charles C Wentzler, a reporter for a Salt Lake paper, went" forward to see what the trouble was, and both were ordered to go back. By this time-passengers -began-piling out of coaches to learn the cause of the shooting. This frightened the high waymen, wno nea. It Is believed the highwaymen got on at Enelewood and waited until the train reached Dupont, a lonesome spot 23 miles out of Chicago. The train. No. 5, Is one of the- fastest on the line. A young tramp stealing a ride on the train was captured and turned over to the sheriff of Grundy county, who was m tne train. TRAMP'S STORY OF THE ROBBERY Charles Nessler.'who climbed over the tender of the engine and told the engi neer and fireman to stop the train, has been arrested. Nessler, however, is be lleved to be the unwilling accomplice of the robbers, as he obeyed their com mands at the point of a revolver. The detectives are hoi on the trail of the robbers. A special train Is waiting at Coal City for a pair of bloodhounds -which are to be rushed to the Bcene of the holdup. According to Nessler's story only two robbers were concerned, though the de tectives think there were more. Nessler is abount 22 years of age, of frank ap pea ranee and intelligent, and claims to be of respectable parents. He says he went to Niles Center recently to visit a cousin. Last night he started home. and having no funds, was beating his way, taking the- train at cnicago. At Englewood he climbed on the bumpers back of the tender and had scarcely ..secured this position when jtwo men also cumDea ui. They said nothing in particular until Midlothian station was reached. Then one of the men climbed over the end of the tender upon the coal and ordered Nessier to follow. Both men had ad justed black masks to their faces. At the point of a revolver Nessler was told tc- go forward to the cab and tell' the engireerto stop the train half a mile beyond. Thoroughly frightened, he d!l so. The engineer and fireman regarded the request as a Joke and lauged. Look up there," said Nessler. The trainmen did so and saw two revolvers printing toward them. "This is no joke," said the robber. "Stop the tram or i l: kill you. The engineer shut off steam and brought the train to a standstill near the Dupont switch. The engine crew were taken back under guard, Nessler being commanded to remain in the cab and keep quiet. Demand was made on the express messenger and baggageman to open the door of their car under threats to blow it up with dynamite. The door was opened and the robbers rushed in. A struggle ensued and Mes senger-Kane was shot through, the groin. The robbers attempted to open tne tnrougn safe but were unsuccessful. The local safe, however, was forced open. It is not known what amount of money was taken. It Is reported that a bag of jewelry and some money was found in the safe but the railway offi cials say practically nothing -of value was secured. The robbers disappeared. Kane- was taken to Lindley Park for treatment and later removed to the Englewood hospital. The police here have a satchel and a quantity of dyna mite found In a car near the scene of the robbery. None of the passengers was molested. LIST OF CASUALTIES.

PEACE DECLARED. 'resident Roosevelt Issues His Proclamation Declaring the Philippine Insur- rection at an End. A GENERAL AMNESTY, Extended to All Except Moroa and Civil Offenders. General Chaffee is Relieved of Governmental Authority. Washington, July 4. The president has formally declared the restoration of peace in the Philippine archipelago and has placed the islands under com plete civil control and has extended general amnesty to the Filipinos who have been in rebellion. These three things, marking one of the most Im portant chapters In Philippine history, were accomplished through the issue of three separate orders and proclama tions, one by the president over bis own signature, extending amnesty; one through Secretary Root, by tne presi-. dent s order, relieving General onatiee from his duties as military governor and a third which takes the shape of a general order addressed to the entire army of the United States, in which -Secretary Root takes occasion to -express the president's high appreciation of the work it has accomplished, both In Cuba and in the Philippines. The amnesty proclamation follows: "Whereas. Many of the Inhabitants of the Philippine arghipelago were in insurrection against the sovereignty of the kingdom of Spain at divers times from August, 1896, until the cession of the archipelago by tnat kingdom to tne United States of America and since such cession many persons engaged In such insurrection have until recently resisted the authority and sovereignty of the United States; and "Whereas, The insurrection against the authorityana sovereignty of the United Suites is now in hand, and peace has been established in all parts of the archipelago, except in the coun try inhabited by the Moro tribes to which this proclamation does not ap- 4 ply; and. "Whereas, During the course of the insurrection against the kingdom of Spain and against the government- of United States those engaged therein, or those in sympathy with and abetting them, committed many acts in violation of the laws of civilized warfare, but it is believed tnat sucn acts were general ly committed in ignorance of those laws and under orders Issued by the civil or military insurrectionary leaders; and. "Whereas, It is deemed to be wise and humane. In accordance with the beneficent purposes of the government of the United States toward the Filipino people ana conducive to peace, .ordar and loyalty among them, that the doers of such acts who have not already suf fered' -punishment shall not be held criminally responsible, but shall -tie -re- lleved from punishment for particlpa tion in these insurrections and for un lawful acts committed during the course thereof, by a general amnesty, and pardon: "Now, therefore, be" it known, that I, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States by virtue of the authority and power vested in me by the consti tution, do hereby proclaim and declare, without reservation or condition, ex cept as hereinafter provided, a full and complete pardon and amnesty to alt persons in the Philippine archipelago who have participated in the insurrec tion aforesaid or who have given aid nn,l firtmfrtrt to nersous nartirlnating in said insurrection for the offenses of traason or sedition and for all offenses. political in their character committed in the course of such insurrections pur-, suant to orders issued by the civil or military insurrectionary authorities, oi which grew out of Internal political fueds or dissensions between Filipinos and Spaniards or the Spanish authority or which resulted from internal political fueds or dissensions among the Fill- pinos themselves during either of said insurrections: "Provided, however, that the pardon and amnesty hereby granted shall not include such persons committing crimes' Since May 1, 1902, In any province of the.,, archipelago In which at the time civil government was established, nor shall it include such persons as have been heretofore finally convicted of tin: crimes of murder, criminal assault, ar son or robbery by any military or civil., tribunal organized under the authority of Spain or of the United States of Ainoi icu, vui Jtxi.i Hput:aLi"ii umj it: made to the proper authority for pardon by any person belonging to. .the ex-, empted class, and such clemency as h consistent with humanity and Justice wil! be liberally extended; and further,.

Every chronic sore, no matter on what part of the body it comes, is an evidence of some previous constitutional or organic trouble, and that the dregs of these diseases remain in the system; or, it may be that some long hidden poison perhaps Cancer has come to the surface and begun its destructive work. The blood must be purified before the sore will fill up with healthy flesh and the skin regains its natural coior. 11 is through the circulation that the acrid, corroding fluids are carried to the sore or ulcer and keep it irritated and inflamed.

ARE TIRED OF CHASING. McGovern and Corbett Matched For August 29. For a Purse of $14,000 at the New London Club. St. Louis, July 4. Terry McQovern, instead of Dave Sullivan, will be the next opponent of Young Corbett, the champion featherweight pugilist. They will meet before the Nutmeg Athletic club at New London, Conn., on Augu-X '29, for a purse of $14,000. Following the action of the board Of police commissioners in stopping the Corbett-SuUivan fight scheduled to take place before the West End club last night negotiations were begun at once for another battleground. Details were perfected at a late hour last night by President Crokley of the Nutmeg Athletic club of Hartford. According to the terms of agreement, the men are to meet at 127 pounds and are to weigh in- at 11 o'clock in the morning. The fight will take place in the open air, and probably will be held in the afternoon to afford an opportuni ty for pictures. Johnny Corbett will meet Sam Harris in Cincinnati next week and will then sign formal articles for the battle. The agreement signed last night pledges the champion to fight before the Nutmeg club, an organization which already holds McGovern's signature. In speaking for his reasons for the move. Young Corbett stated that he was tired of moving all over the country in an effort to meet Sullivan, changing his quarters constantly and being thrown out of training, so he decided to make his bout with McGovern his initial con test. The men were already pledged to meet, but agreements had not been signed regarding the weight and other matters, and the new articles move, the date forward from September, the time for which the fight was originally sched uled. v Young Corbett will depart this even ing for Denver to remain a day or two on business. He will then go directly to New York and will there take up his training. Dave Sullivan will depart this evening for Chicago and probably will try to get on another match in that city. JOHNNIE K'GRAWS DEIX Denounce What He Terms Auto cratic Methods of Johnson. Baltimore, Md., July 4. The Baltimore club and the American league may lose John McGraw and Joe Kelley before the close of the season. The man who was the leading spirit in the organiza tion of the American league is just now angry enough with Ban Johnson, whom he helped put at the head of the or ganization, to turn against his old friend, Ned Halon, and accept a good post in the National league. While he would neither confirm nor deny the re port from New T"rk that he had opened negotiations w the New York club, he said: "I have received offers from various clubs. No, I do not care to state that I have or have not negotiated with the New York club. "It is just this way," he continued; "Ban Johnson is down on Baltimore, and would like to see it off the may. I don't know that he has anything against me personally, but he tries to rub it in on every possible occasion. 1 did nothing to warrant my last suspen sion. I indulged in a little pleasant sar casm; but Umpire Connolly became ob streperous and ordered rue to the club house. I'm no dog, and I refused to go, with the result that the game was forfeited and I was suspended. I'm sick and tired of -the whole business and I don't care if I never play in the American league again. Johnson is in a losing game, but he has had his salary raised. I have been losing money on the team, but I have had to dig down into my pockets. It isn't fair. I have tried to build up a team here, but with Johnson developing every possible oppo sition, I'm disgusted. I don't know what I will do Will you play with the team if you go to New York as captain-manager?" was asked. "I can't say now, for I don't know whether I will go." I Should McGraw leave the Baltimore club. Interest In the game here would be killed for this season. He will leave tomorrow morning for New -York and Boston. Kelley Is sore, but silent. He Is un der definite suspension. Under National league law Kelley belongs to the Brook lyn club. The Brooklyn management was willing last December to release him to the New York club when it was proposed that Kelley take the manage ment of the New Yorks. A conference of the owners of the Baltimore club was held. John J. Ha hon, father-in-law of Kelley, and Mc Graw and Robinson, together with Sid ney Frank, are said to own the bulk of the stock. Although reticent as to reports that the Baltimore club will withdraw from the American league, it is believed that the possibility of such a course was discussed. Mahon and Frank, and, 'in fact, all the holders of stock in the club, are indignant over Johnson's course ad will stand by Mc Graw and Kelley. It is admitted here that Freedman and every club owner in the National league are making the most liberal offers to both McGraw and Kelley to leave the American league. The question of withdrawing the club from Baltimore and locating it as an American team in New York 'is lso under consideration, but no definite ac tion has been taken. One thing, how ever, is certain if Ban Johnson does not immediately reinstate McGraw and Kelley and adopt an entirely different course, these players will leave the American league. TO TRAIN POH- WHITNEY. Hug gins to Return From England at Close of Season. New York, July 4. John Huggins Is to return from England at the close of the present season to train a division of William C. Whitney's extensive American stable. A statement that this plan is contemplated comes from an authoritative source. Since J. W. Rogers was taken seri ously 111, about two months ago, a part of the Whitney string has been handled by John EL Madden. The strain of training so many horses told on Mr. Rogers, and his health waa greatly im paired. Rogers will soon be about again, how ever. As his stable is steadily grow ing. Mr. Whitney realizes that the services of an additional trainer axe required, and a division of the string is the best solution. Mr. Huggins, who has been" very suc cessful during his career, has been in charge of Mr. Whitney's English string, handling, among others. Nasturtium, the colt that went wrong some months ago. His return here as trainer of a part of the American string would be a substan tial aid to the stable, and at the same time relieve Mr. Rogers of much ot his responsibility. Madden has been in charge of the Whitney stable, but he" has too large interests himself to remain any longer. NO SUNDAY BALL PLAYING. Sheriff Dickson, of Detroit, Will En force the Law. Detroit, Mich., July 4. Sheriff Dick son today announced that there will be no more Sunday ball in this locality. He said he would "swear in enough deputies to go out to Burns' park on Sunday and arrest the whole push." The sheriff further said that, person ally, he was not against Sunday ball, but the state law expressly prohibits the practice. Up to the present, he has considered it the duty of the village board of Springwells, where the Sun day games are held, to act first. The president of the board sees no reason to stop the games, so the sheriff thinks be will have to take the matter into his own hands. Ban Johnson came to town for a talk with Fred Postal and the Detroit mag nates. While he did not say the recent rowdy ball indulged in here was the cause of his visit, he said he would at tend to the matter. He said: v. "I can assure the patrons of clean ball that they shall enjoy it. I shall stamp out the rowdyism and kicking, no matter what the cost, and I believe I have the support of those who enjoy a good game of ball. O'Loughlin is the best umpire I have seen in years, and he will stay here during the series" and be protected. I guess some players, feeling that they are near the end ot their tether, would not mind if they were put out of the" game." Mr. Johnson announced that Kelley, of Baltimore, would be reinstated. SITES SIR THOMAS LIPTON. Confidential Clerk Makes Charges Against the Yachtsman. New York, July 4. The basis of the suit brought against Sir Thomas Lip ton by David N. Barrie, who acted as the baronet's personal and business representative in this country during the cup race, was made public today by William S. Gilbert, counsel for Mr. Barrie. Mr. Gilbert said today: "Mr. Barrie's suit against Sir Thomas Lipton is simply an attempt on the part of Mr. Barrie to recover from Sir Thomas Lipton compensation for ser vices rendered in the last series of races for the America's cup, as his business and personal representative. Mr. Barrie was employed in a similar capacity in connection with the- man agement of Shamrock I., but for this service he was fully paid by Sir Thom as. For some unknown reason, how ever," Mr. Gilbert said, "Sir Thomas refused to pay Mr. Barrie for his ser vices in connection with Shamrock II." The plaintiff, it is claimed, attended to all the details of the second race. His services extended over a period of two years or more and he seeks to recover $11,515 for those services.

Savable, Mary Lavana and Mallory, three of the most prominent candidates for the race, as well at Watkin's Over ton, were scattered. Americano won as he pleased by four lengths, with Sid ney C.

Umpire Quigley. Baseball Note. Here Is a record to be envied by the heaviest of sluggers:- In but two games this seson has Danny Murphy, of Nor wich, failed to make a. hit. "Tuck" Turner; who subscribes himself "the greatest first baseman ever," is certainly playing fast ball and knocking the cover off the sphere with the Toledo American Association team. Bailey, whom the Boston Nationals tried out two sesons ago and then re leased, is the winning slant merchant for the Columbus team of the American As sociation. He is pitching winning ball right along. Win Mercer Is still with the Tigers, al though he Insists that he won't be for long. It is understood that Win is trying to work the management for an Increase in salary. He is still telling that Los An geles yarn. Clark Griffith's condition has become so bad that he is preparing to undergo a surgical operation to obtain relief from his trouble That means that the great pitcher will be out of the game for the re mainder of the season. Pitcher Falkenberg, of the Worcester Eastern League team, star twirler of the Illinois University nine, may be purchased by the Pittsburg. Barney Dreyfuss is regotiatlng for his release with President Hurley, of the Lambs. Congalton, recently released by the Chi cago Nationals, says he's not worryylng over the fact, although considerably sur prised at it. He is in receipt of several tempting offers, one of which he will take up within a couple of days. McCord of the Davenport team, of the Three I Leagues, has the season's record for strlke-onts in a single game, having fannedeieven of the Rockford team and allowed only four hits. He shut his op ponent out without a run. "Reach and Rogers nave about as much chance of signing Lajole as they have of signing Grover Cleveland." says Presi dent Kilfoyle of the Clevelands, when asked concerning the efforts of the Quakers to induce Larry to return. "The bounding Indian," Sockalexis, Is hitting the ball like the red man of old hit the warpath. In Friday's game bt was at the bat four times, making a single two triples and a borne run. And be is fielding in his old time speedy form. Since joining the Cincinnati team after his release by New York. Thielman hadn't pitched a losing game until Sunday, when he went down to a shutout at the hands of the Pirates, e Uowed ouly seven hits at that, five of which were, of the scratch order. Chicago dispatches would lead one to believe that Fred Ely had been dickering with Frank Belee, of the Remnants. It Is said that Selee was after the local hort fielder and wanted him badly. Bat the chances are that Fred Is satisfied where he is. Fred knowa "Hthmg ot Se lee's desires. A. J. Reach, president of the Philadel phia National League team, has deter mined to get hold of Lajole tor the Quakers, and with that end in view has sent an agent to St. Louis, where Lajole is playing, to induce the big fellow to come back. "There's no 'come back in mine," ia Larry's reply. "Jeems" art's presence in Louisville, together .with that of PuIIiam and Fred Clark, of the Pirates, has given rise to the story- that the Brooklyn franchise is to be transferred to that Southern city' next .season.. Indeed, it 1s said that the offer of 'the franchise to George Tebeau has been snade and w4D be accepted. So highly gratified was Manager Buck enberser. of the Boston Nationals, with "Doe7 Carney's pitching in the last tire innings oi one oi ue KrooKiyn games, that he has decided to pitch -his bard hitting right fielder in regular turn with his staff. "Doc" was a clever slab artist while with the fast Holy Cross. CoUege team of 1900. 7 Fred Ely is still the possessor of a very sere left band. The Done in the Index finger was broken by the pitched ball which caromed off his bat several weeks ago and has not yet been set. The phy sician to whom Fred first went for treat ment Informed him that the bone wasn't broken. Fred says he will be obliged to have the fnger rebroken and set this time, as the finger is twice its. normal size. Ottawa, Xaifc, and Return 91.60 wis, "--.Santo Ea account Chautauqua.

TOPEKA STATE JOITENALi,' FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 4. 1802, 0 1, ICANSASNEWS. Wheat Worm Does Damage in Certain fields. Its Coming and Going a Mystery to Many Farmers. ARE NOTHING NEW. A History of the Pest Given by Supt. Haney Of the Branch Experimenting Station, at Hays. Hays, July 4. Superintendent J. G. Haney, of the branch experimenting station here savs: "The wheat worm, so-called, that has done much damage in many parts of the wheat region this summer, seems to be a mystery to many. The worms ap peared about the time the wheat began to bead, and have apparently remained until the wheat has gone into stock. The damage by these worms is done by them crawling up the stalks and eat ing out the kernels. As the wheat ripens and the grain hardens, the worms may only eat off the chaff, thus allowing the grain to drop out. "These worms, or strictly speaking caterpillars, are not anything new; they have appeared before and will doubt less be seen again. Entomologieally classed, they are of the order Lepidop tera of which there are over 6,000 spec ies in America, north of Mexico. The caterpillars above referred to, belong to the family Noctuidae, so called be cause the adults wjiich are commonly called millers are usually seen flying about In the. evening after or about dusk. There are over 1,800 species of this family alone in our country. It Includes a great many of our most troublesome caterpillars, such as the army worm, cut worm, cabbage worm, corn worm, apple worm, etc. "As there have been several species observed to attack the wheat, it is not pohsible to identify just what one it is, but they closely resemble, some of them, the army worm. However, they all have the same habits. These worms that are now, or have been bothering the wheat, when they have become full grown, burrow into the ground an inch or so, and prepare winter quarters. They excavate a small cell, excrete a cement that makes this waterproof to some extent, and then make a cocoon, or papery sack in which they encase themselves. During the time they spend in this cocoon, or pupa case, they change from the caterpillar to a miller, which emerges next spring to lay a supply of eggs in the wheat, from which a new lot of worms or caterpil lars is hatched. "Some of these species do not get their full growth the first summer, so the worm lives over and begins work early again the next spring. The cut worm is an example of one of these. "The life history, and an observation of the work of these pests will doubt less suggest means of combatting them. The wheat that was drilled in stubble was attacked very much more than that planted on plowed land. Plowing the ground throws the pupas out and breaks them up so that they are de stroyed. Carefully fall plowing all the land infected is the most successful method of combatting. The adults us ually deposit their eggs near where they have passed the winter, but some of them may be blown to other fields at some distance. Another means of less ening the damage done by them is to rotate the crops. It is very seldom that the same species of worms will do damage to two different crops. Dr. Henry Wallace of Wallace's Farmer, says that these pests of bugs, worms, and weeds are God's warning that we must not deplete the soil by growing continually, year after year, the same crops on the same land. Rotate the crops, or we will be rotated off the land." Internal Revenue Receipts. Leavenworth, July 4. The internal revenue receipts last month amounted to J61.387.75. This is the largest amount collected in any month this year. The collections were divided as follows: Collection on lists, $979.47; beer tamps, $1,412; spirit stamps, $488.07; cigar and cigarette stamps, $7,136.75; to bacco stamps, $282.62; special tax stamps, $14,462.67; oleomargarine stamps, $35, 228.38; documentary stamps, $1,380.35; proprietary stamps, $23.04. Total, $61, 887.75. Sedgwick County Poor Farm. Wichita, July 4. It cost $3,620.59 to run the Sedgwick county poor farm last year. The total expenses for the Institution for 1901 were $4,102.92, while the receipts for live stock and farm products amounted to only $482.33. The expense to the county for keeping up this institution is enormous to what it should be were conditions and circum stances right. There is an average- of so persons at the poor farm the year round, costing the county $120.60 per Get in a Supply of ZuZu Ginger Snaps Habe them on hand!

The reason for this is probably due to the fact of- the rather large- attendance at the farm and mostly owing to the situation of it. The place is declared to be the poorest farming land in Sedgwick county, and this explains why the poor farm does not pay for itself. CONVICTS TRY FOB LIBERTY. After Two Hours Flight Three Es capes Are Recaptured. Leavenworth, Kan.. July 4. Three con victs, Taylor Burns, Liah West and J. C. Pierce, made a daring break late Thurs day afternoon. They were members of the stone quarry gang' and had just been started back to the federal prison. Eight armed guards were in chaarge.

Four shots were flre but did not touch the desperadoes. Leav ing five guards in charge, three set out after the fugitives, and two others a few minutes later mounted horses and headed the convicts off.

Four Texas steers jumped off a stock train running at the rate of 25 miles an hour at Gardner, on the Ottawa cut off, a few nights ago, made off in the darkness and at last reports on-ly two of them had been rounded up. It is supposed that they became frolicsome, burst the door open and made a flying leap on the soft earth of the new grade, getting out with out injuring themselves. Nothing was knawn of it until a telegraph operator no ticed the door of the passing train open. It was impossible for him to signal the crew, but he wired ahead to the second station, where the train was held and the door fixed. RAILROADJIEWS. Only One Railroad Failure So Far This Tear. Receivers Held That Road Only Fonr Months. REMARKABLE RECORD. Twenty-two Roads Now Charge of the Courts. in Decrease of 160 in the Past Eight Tears. Interesting statistics showing the prosperity of American railways have been collected by the Railway Age, and sent In advance of publication in that magazine to the State Journal. The work done in collecting and compiling this information shows that the year 1902 has, so far, been tne most remarka bble period in fifty years of railway his tory in respect to insolvencies and re ceiverships. Since January first only one operating railway, the New York Pennsylvania, 52 miles long, has been placed in the hands of a receiver, and that one broke all previous records for brevity of stay, the appointment hav ing been made in February and the road having been sold under foreclosure and started for reorganization in May. The receivership thus covered the short sea son of four months. During the twenty-six and one-half years in which the record has been kept it has shown the appointment of receivers for 639 roads, covering 114,400 miles of lines and rep resenting stocks and bonds aggregat ing the vast sum of $6,291,397,000. In a single year, 1893, no less than 74 roads went into bankruptcy, with 29,340 miles, and $1,781,000,000 of stock and bonds! But since that year of greatest financial calamity, failures- have rapidly de creased and reorganizations have gone on at equal speed, so that today the era of railway receiverships may be said to be ended. A record that is believed to be com plete has been prepared, after much in vestigation and correspondence, show ing all the railways which are now op erated by receivers, with mileage and is given below with the certainty that tiie smallness of the list will call forth general surprise: Railway Miles. DanFville Mt. Morris 15 Bellaire, Zanesville Cincinnati Ill East Shore Tern inal 5 California S- Nevada 22 Denver.

S New York Ottawa 7i Washington Potomac 21 White River Valley l'i Gulf Interstate 70 Mount Airv Eastern IS Sylvania 15 Total, 22 roads 1.31) It will be seen that the 22 roads on the list, most of them very small, have in the aggregate only a little over 1,300 miles of lines. They represent but $61000.000 of apparent investment, now in the hands of the courts. One road has been in this condition eight years, another seven, four have served six years, four five years and four four years each only seven dating their troubles inside the twentieth century. Only three roads of importance, the Terre Haute Indianapolis, with 432 miles of owned and leased lines, the Columbus, Sandusky Hocking with 209 miles and the Bellaire, Zanesville Cincinnati with 111 miles, are in the list, the remainder having less than 100 miles each. The Terre Haute Indian apolis re.nains in charge of the court, not on account of its insolvency but by reason of disagreement among its own ers, represented chiefly by the Pennsyl vania Railroad company. The other two roads named will soon be sold and reorganized. How rapidly the process of discharg ing receivers and returning the roads to the hands of their owners has been go ing on, is shown by the following table of roads remaining in the hands of re ceivers in each of the last nine years, the figures, excepting those for 1901 and 1902, being compiled from reports of the interstate commerce commission: RECEIVERSHIPS REMAINING.

NEW FREIGHT STATION. Rock Island Plans For Improvement in St. Louis. St. Louis, July 4. The Rock Island, in addition to its provision for terminal yards in the West End, is negotiating for property downtown for the purpose of erecting and establishing a large freight station. Other lines have their own freight warehouses and receiving stations located in the business section, and the- Rock Island people in coming into St. Louis next year from Kansas City- are deter mined to place themselves on a parity with all competitors for the handling of freight traffic at the terminal center. Lit tle doubt remains that the passenger business the Rock Island will enter the Union station in order to connect with all either lines. By assuming a proprietary in terest in the Terminal association the Rock Island will likewise avail itself of all the terminal facilities for the operation of both freight and passenger traffic over the Terminal tracks, but it desires an inde pendent freight station and warehouse down town, and Will be so equipped for business here when the Kansas City-St. Louis line is opened next, (April. AGAINST PIECE WORK. Union Pacific Strike at Omaha Be-.- comes Complicated. Omaha, July 4.

Mr. Hill appears to be an applicant for Mr. Bryan's old clothes, but the Im pression appears to prevail everywhere except in the east that they would not fit him. The Monterey News attributes the scarcity of harvest hands in Kansas to the coronation ceremonies which at tracted so many of our citizens to the other side. Admiral Dewey is. a Democrat who Is minus the sentimental regard for the Filipinos evinced by soma members of his party. To be sure, he has the ad vantage of having come in personal con tact with the "little brown men" and knows what he la talking about. Men like Bailey and Carmack know how it is.

Tha attention of the east la being turned In this direction by Kansas City's scheme to erect a big cotton mill The following from the New Haven Journal Is a sample of the way the matter Is being handled: "One of the biggest cotton mills in the world, is to be built near Kansas City, Missouri Ten milion dollars Is to be invested, $3,100,000 of which has al ready been subscribed by eastern and western men. The mill will have 500,000 spindles and 12,800 looms. It will employ 4,000 operatives and have a payroll of $2,450,000 a year. The capacity of the nuua win De 170.U00 Dales or cotton a year, with an output of 75,000,000 pounds of finished cloth." The Boston Journal says the 170,000 bales of cotton must come from the southern Atlantic states, evidently forgetting about Texas and Oklahoma. INTERNAL COMMERCE. The monthly summary of internal commerce. Issued by the treasury bu reau of statistics, sums up representa tive commercial movements for com parative periods of succeeding years. It reports that receipts of wheat at eight interior markets to the end of May in the current crop year reached a total of 211,224,902 bushels. Last year's re ceipts for the corresponding period were ,204,083,037 bushels. All of this gain is to be credited to spring wheat sections of the country, there having been a decrease of nearly S3 million bushels at the winter wheat markets comnared with last year. The largest gains were made at Duluth, Minneap olis and Milwaukee, all other markets, Including Chicago, Toledo, St. Louis, and Kansas City, falling short of tha receipts of the previous year. Weekly shipments of flour at Minne apolis averages 299,658 barrels for the first 22 weeks of this year, compared with 270,042 barrels in 1901, and 330,377 barrels in 1900. The trunk line ship. ments eastward from Chicago and Chl cago points show the usual high aver age in provision shipments in contrast with continued shrinkage in the volume of grain and flour traffic. Live stock receipts at five western markets in May amounted to 2,182,908 head, and for five months' ending with May to 12,502,506 head, compared with 13,213,926 head in 1901 and 12,668,(87 head in 1900. The receipts of hogs at Chicago alone for these five months were 3,699,343 head, and exceeded th entire receipts of any year at that mar ket prior to 1872. The growth of re ceipts of sheep to the end of May of this year at Chicago is shown by the fact that the number exceeded any en tire year's receipts prior to 1888. Th main streams of traffic between the Interior and the Atlantic seaboard consist at grain, flour and provisions, which reach tide-water at .the ports of Boston, New York. Philadelphia, and Baltimore. For this year, to the end of May, these four ports show arrivals of 81,787,535 bushels, Including flour ana meal reduced to bushels. For the cor responding; period of 1901, the receipts were M2.697.371 bushels. Tiers has, therefore, been a shrinkage amounting; to 42 per cent in this year's- grain ar rivals at the Atlantic seaboard for these four markets. Taking New Orleans and Galveston shipments combined for com parison with Atlantic seaboard receipts at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and BalUmore, there has been a decrease-at these Qulf ports from 60,229,129 bushels in 1901 to 80,069,709 bushels In 1902, or 40 Pr cent. REIXEOTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York lress.J Bread cast upon the waters comes back to you very stale. If It Is a sin for a woman to glory In her beauty It is a. beautiful sin. The man In the moon is blushing red because he sees so many queer things. Humor is like whisky in making a person who uses too much of It very wabbly. After a man has been married too long he doesn't worry so much because life is too short. It takes a red-headed girl to make a man think it isn't a woman's looks that count so much, but a woman's ways. NOXIOUS SUMMER DRINKS. "Beware tha colored summer drink, is the advice given by a chemist, and the thirsty summer girl of the near future would do well to heed. This sci entific person declares that all colored drinks contain dyes that are injurious to the system. Out of 29 samples which he examined, 19 contained noxious dyes. Now, the great popularity of summer drinks lies largely in the fact that they are attractively colored and catch the eye of the unsuspicious young person, who seeks not only a thirst quencher, but an attractive-looking drink as welL Therefore the chemist's announcement will not be any too welcome, though doubtless the note of warning sounded from a chemical watch tower will have a certain effect in governing choice of drinks. It may fairly be assumed, how ever, that the summer girl will not long be at her wits end to employ a substi tute for the loss of the liquid happiness heretofore served in colored potions. It is believed that it will have a tendency to increase the great popularity of the lighter beers and of the seductively sweet sarsaparilla. The soda water fountain will doubtless offer an array of new and uncolored drinks to offset the feeling of alarm which the general intelligence spread by the chemical an alysis has aroused.

AIGRETTES. rFVom the Hartford Post! Aigrettes are the breedlna- dress of the heron and are worn only during the breeding season. It is by concealing themselves near tbe nesting places and killing the birds as they return to their nesta or bring food to their young that the plume hunters secure tbera. In this way not only are the parent birds kill ed, but the young in the nests inevitably die of starvation. It is unfortunately the habit of these birds to breed in large colonies or communities, many nests often being placed in a single tree and it Is therefore an -easy matter for tbe umters to destroy such a colony almost to the last bird, when once they nave discovered its location. Having shot the birds, the plumes, of which eacn Dim only produces a small bunch, are removed with a par of the skin ana alter carerui drying ana packing. to prevent their becoming soiled or broken, they are snipped to the agents of the wholesale dears in feathers and cmiuiiery supplies. Chemicals in Milk. From the lancet. J Evidence Is accruing that the orac- tice of adding artificial coloring matter to milk is increasing, samples are com monly met with thus colored to give mem a ncn but false creamy asDect. The natural color of milk bears no re lation necessarily to the amount of cream present. It Is very desirable that this practice should be stopped. We believe that annotto Is the dye com monly employed, and It is fortunate that it is harmless, though that fact does not Justify the device. Certain coal tar dyes have, however, been de tected in milk, and among them methyl- orange, or, in cnemtcai nomenclature, the sodium salt of dimethyaiineaao- Denzene-suipnonic acid. Texans Ask Aid.

Will Be Punished by Expulsion DJ Socialist Party. Colorado Springs. Col.. July 4. The first stat convention of the Socialist party of Colorado convened here today, 40 delegates from over the state reporting when W. t. Pechyew, chairman of the state commit tee, called the meeting to order. Tha busi ness of th day consisted in perfecting a temporary organization, electing commit tees on credentials, resolutions, eta. The convention will remain in session two or tnree days. The alms of socialism were announced in a platform adopted which stands for "mn Internal revolutionary movement contemplating the complet overthrow of the capitalistic system1 and the establishment of a co-operative com monwealth that gives the laborer the full product of his production." The convention voted that th party would not fuse with any other party In the state and decided that any delegate offer ing such a proposition from the floor should be expelled from the convention and his membership In the Socialist party canceled. The slogan "no fusion, no compro mise" was adopted. The state central committee reported on the progress of the new Socialist propaganda which is being pushed over the state, the report claiming that the membership of the party increased ISO per cent in the last 40 days. The main business of the convention will be taken up tomorrow. WHY BESSEGUIE LEFT. Disagreement Said to Hare Been Concerning Maintenance. The real reasons for the dismissal of General Superintendent C. F. Ressegule from the Santa Fe are gradually com ing to the surface, in spite of the re fusals of ail of those in authority to make any statements concerning the matter. The rumor is now that Mr.Hesseguie's disagreement with Third Vice President Kendrick and the other officials was on the subject of track maintenance. Mr. Resseguie believed that his chief duty was to make money for the road. It is claimed that to accomplish this object, he sacrificed to some extent the main tenance of the roadbed and general care of the interests Intrusted to his charge. By this course, it is asserted he was able to make a record for small ex penditures in his department, but that it was done at the expense of the condi tion of the road. Those who think that the alleged de terioration of the road was tbe real cause of Mr. Resseguie's disagreement with the company say that the recent wrecks on the Chicago division can be attributed in several instances, at least, to the bad condition of the track and ties. The officers of the company state that there is no truth In the published rumor that Mr. Resseguie was dismissed in order to conciliate Third Vice President Kendrick, and keep Mr. Kendrick in the employ of the company. They deny that there has been any clash between President Ripley and Mr. Kendrick. Bock Island Purchase at St Louis. St. Louis. Mo.. Julv 4.

The President Praises Declara tion of Independence. Pittsburg, July 4. President Roose velt in his speech at Bchenley park to day said: Mr. Mayor and you, nay fellow citi zens, my fellow Americans, men and women of western Pennsylvania: You have just listened to the reading of the great document which signals our en try into the field of nations, 126 year ago. That entry was but tbe promise which had to be made good by the per formance of those men and their chil dren and their children's children. Words are good if they are backed up by deeds, and only so. CApplause). The declaration continues to be read by us year after year,- and stands as a symbol of hope for the peoples of all the world because its promise was made good, because its words were sup plemented by deeds, because after the men who signed it and upheld it had done theirs, the men who come again after them, generation by generation, did their work in turn. (Applause). The declaration of independence had to be supplemented in the first place by that great instrument of constructive and administrative statesmanship the constitution under which we live. The document promulgated in 1788 un der which Washington Decame our first president aupplemnted, necessarily supple mented, the declaration of 1776. We showed In the Revolution that we had a right to be free; we showed when we con structed the more perfect union of the old confederacy, that wo knew how to us that right as it needed to be used. (Ap plaus.) And then 70 years and more passed and then there came again upon the na tion the days of Iron need. Thefe-came again the days that demanded all that was best, life Itself, of tne Bravest ana truest of the nation's sons. And with Sumter's guns awakened our people and America until then the Incarnate genius of peace, sprang to her feet with sword and with shield, a helmeted queen among nations, when the thun der of guns called the nation's children they sprang: forward to do the mighty deeds which If left undone would hare meant that the words to which we have listened to today would have rung aB meaningless platitudes. (Applause.) Those were the two great epochs in the nation's history, the epoch of the founding of the union and the epoch of its preservation; the epoch of Washing ton and the epoch of Abraham Lincoln. (Loud applause and cheers.) Those two generations had the greatest tasks to do, but eacn generation has its tasks, and woe to. the generation which re gards the deeds of the mighty men of the past as excuses for this failing to do in its turn the work that it finds ready to hand. (Applause.) The great deeds of those who have gone before us must ever serve not as a reason for Inaction on our part, but as the keenest of spurs to drive us forward on the path of national great ness and Justice. (Applause.) We have had our tasks to do In the last four years, or rather we have had as every generation must have, many tasks to do, tasks affecting us abroad and on of those tasks being done as it has been, has signalled our entry into a larger world. (Applause.) And it is most appropriate that on this Fourth of July, this anniversary of the birth of the nation. It shoud be our good fortune ta have promulgated the declaration establishing peace in tne Philippines and acknowledgment to the army of the praise so richly due for all they have done in the tropic islands during the past four years. (Ap plause and continued applause and cheers.) We said Cuba should become a tree republic and we have kept our word. (Loud applause.) xo nave turned cuoa over to the hands of, its own people im mediately after the withdrawal of the Spanish flag would have meant ruin and chaos. We established a government in the Island; we established peace and order; we began to provide for the payment of the Cuban troops who had fought against the misrule of their oppressors; we instituted a public- school system, based on that which has been so potent a factor in our own national progress. (Applause.) We cleaned the cities in Cuba lor the first time in their history. (Applause). We changed them from being tbe most unhealthy, to being among the health iest cities of the world. We introduced a system of orderly justice to succeed one of irresponsible and arbitratrve des potism.

(Applause.) m THE FISH OF BERMUDA. From St. Nicholas. There is a great green "parrot fish" of Bermuda, as brilliant in color as his name sake, the bird, showing himself boldly, and swimming along slowly, secure from any assault. His scales are green as the fresh grass of springtime, and each one is bordered by a pale brown line. His fins are pink, and the end of the tall is banded with nearly every color of the rainbow. He is showy, but this showiness serves him a good purpose. His- flesh Is bitter and poisonous to man, and probably ao to other fishes as well, and they let him well alone, for they can recognize him afar off, thanks to his gaudy dress, underneath the parrot, lying on the bot tom, is a "pink hind." Tou notice him and as the parrot passes over him he sud denly changes to bright scarlet, and as quickly resumes his former faint color. Had the parrot been looking for his din ner, and thought the hind would make a good first course, this sudden char ge of color might have scared him off. Just at the sudden bristling- of a eat makes a dog change his mind, when th hind is dis turbed at night he gives out flashes of light to startle the intruder, and sends bim away in a fright.

Philadelphia Press. la the West Overcrowded T From Harper's Weekly. Horace Greeley's advice to the young man to "go west" is apparently out of date. The Western Labor Union states that there is no chance In the west for any young man except the young man with capital. The union condemns th railroad advertising which paints the re sources of the west in glowing colors and brands such statements as "misleading in character" and "criminal in their effect." aH Wwet ellento, Mil amr mmmi more ite! ttaa aU atfcer Amim tonlbcr. laeau mmm i xx SIX vC0UR V BEST FOR Suits EVERYBODY Many influential papers in the west in dorse the statements expressed by the president of the Labor Union. They all admit the brilliant opportunities for the Investment of capital in the west, but say that the poor man has no chance. The expression of such views as these seems unfortunate and uncalled for at this time of general prosperity. In every community that has been "boomed" be vond its real producing capacity it Is In evitable that there should be numbers of idle men. This is also true of every ag ricultural community at certain seasons. But these conditions are temporary, and right themselves in a short time. The Western Labor Union states that the re sources of the west "are limitless to met, of capital." Where there is room for in vestment, capital generally goes and where capital goes there is bound to be room for labor. The west may be a little overcrowded with labor just at present, but there is nothing to be alarmed at in this condition, and. there is certainly no sane reason for the hue and cry that the Western Lt-.bor Union has raised. GERM-CARRYING PIGEONS. CFrom the New York Sun. An epidemic of scarlet fever, starting in Cincinnati, has spread in the last few weeks through a number; of towns in Ohio, and the health authorities, after taking extraordinary precautions to con fine the disease within the limit of its first ravages, were puzzled to under stand the means by which it was car ried elsewhere. They made an Investi gation and -have now eoTie to the con clusion that much of the contagion was spread-by tame pigeons and doves, which carried the- germs from place to place. The evidence on which this the ory is based is that scarlet fever spread under strict quarantine from a house on the roof of which there was a large pigeon cote. The only live stock about the house not quarantined was the pigeons, which flew about the neighbor hood. If they didn't carry the disease germs the authorities don't know how the fever was spread. A Professional Charity Worker. From the Philadelphia Record.) "The newest profession for women is that of a charity worker," remarked a prominent club woman yesterday You needn't laugh. There is really such a pro fession, and it is new, and if I were a young woman I would enter into training for it.

Two Kinds of Dreariness. (From the Century. You hear often from car window observ ers of the "dreary" desert, the "hopeless," the "cheerless" desert. But the desert de serves none of these adjectives. It Is dreadful, if you wish in the way in which it punishes the ignorance and presumption of those who know not the signs of thlrtst; it is sometimes awful in Its passions of dust, torrents, heat; It Is even monotonous to those who love only the life of crowded cities; but it ia never dreary or cheerleas. Hopelessness may well apply to. tbe des erts of Mulberry street and Smoky hollow, with their foul odors, their swarms of crowded and hideous human life; but the desert of the arid land is eternally hopeful, smiling, strong, rejoicing in itself. The desert is never morbid In its adversity; on the other hand, it Is calm and sweet and clean the cleanest of all land. Not till man cones, bringing his ugly mining towns and his destructive herds, does it bear even -the vestige of th unclean, th dreary, the unpicturesque. 'i OATMEAL AND MUSH.

The body of unknown boy was found this morning on the Santa Fe tracks four miles west of Lawrence. The dis covery was made by a section foreman. The body was cut to pieces and badly mangled, and it was impossible to tell whether the victim had been struck by a train or had fallen from the trucks of a car ami ground to pieces by the wheels. The body was taken to Lawrence and taken In charge by the coroner of Douglas counter. Gomer Davies, one of the leading Populist editors of the state, in his pa per, the Concordia Kansan, this week repudiates the action of the Populist state convention and declines to follow the fusion leaders into the Democratic party. He does nt say what he will do about state politics, but as far as the Fifth congressional district is concerned he says he will support Congressman Calderhead, the Republican nominee, in preference to either Andrew Shearer or J. M. Doyle,- who are mentioned for the fusion nomination. Mr. Davies says: "We have not heretofore, in a score of years experience as a newspaper man, hesitated in giving our honest conviction about matters of public con cern it is getting too far toward the evening of our life to adopt different methods in that regard now. "So far as the state organization Is concerned the Populist party is Irre vocably, irredeemably dead. "Democratic newspapers and Demo cratic leaders call it fusion, but it is a complete and humiliating surrender of the Populist party into the hands of Democracy. "Democratic leaders at the state con vention, of their party at Wichita, were delegates to the Populist convention at Topeka. They would listen to no reason nor any terms save the one they knew they had the power to demand the complete surrender of all our rights on the ballot, to the dictation of the Dem ocratic bosses. "We were permitted to 'recommend to the Democratic committee the names of Populists whom we should like to have- them 'nominate.' Then we were forced to wait beyond midnight before we were permitted to 'nominate' the same candidates this on the advice of Mr. Overmyer, who suggested that if we were to da such a thoughtless thjng as to nominate that ticket on the date designated in our call for such nomi nations, we might possibly embarrass the legality of the Democratic ticket. So we sat in Convention hall, waiting the pleasure of the Democratic bosses and the coming of another day. And that's what they call 'fusion' it was coward ice sublime. We are told that we have a ticket, at least until the supreme court has passed upon it it is the worst kind of a hallucination. "There is not a gleam of hope that our1 ticket will be on the ballot, there is not a shadow of reason for believing that the leaders of the Democratic party would wish for it there, much less to presume on their assistance in attain ing such a result. "There are those who voted for that procedure who are no doubt honest in their conviction that it was the expedi ent thing to do for this campaign, and have not yet abandoned fealty to the Populist party. "The men, however, who manipulated and formulated the plan did it in the avowed interest of Democracy and the complete abandonment of the Populist party. "It was a complete and inexcusable surrender. "No one expects the ticket to be elect ed we do not believe much effort will be put forth in that direction. It is enough gain for the leaders of Kansas Democracy that they have branded Pop ulists into their party this year, for ser vice in 1904. "We 'know not what course others may take,' but we refuse to take the brand. "We have followed the Populist party to Its death, but we refuse to be buried with it in the grave of Democracy. "The action of that convention has brought us to the parting of the ways. "We have not been a Democrat, don't intend to be a Democrat, and the action of this convention will not make ua pretend to be one. "No intelligent man in the state of Kansas would believe us if we did. "We have supported Bryan because he was a pretty good Populist. Demo crats have defeated him in two cam paigns for the same reason. They have killed off Bryan now they have killed eff the Populist party so far as the state ticket is concerned. They hold out Bryanism to us now. In the campaign to follow we shall be confronted with Cleveland Hill Gormanism 'The voice is Jacob's voice, butnhe hands are the hands of Esau.' Concerning, Fifth district matters Mr. Davies says: "As between votinsr for- -;tiT nf tho men spoken of as candidates for congress by the Democrats and Populists and voting v (imri iit ii i i n,- j u n j u'iin nomi nee, the editor of the Kansan will vote for Mr. Calderhead. 'He has at least the commendation of being honest and consistent of being a manly man. "Mr. Shearer did all in his power and as much as any man to lead the Popu list party into the shambles of Democracy, and is not entitled to support of the Pop ulist party. "Doyle can not be consistently and suc cessfully defended against the testimony of Dingus before the investigating com mittee inquiring into the charges of bri bery of members of the legislature by the American Book Trust we do not intend to try it. The Kansan wouldn't support Doyle for dog-pelter in a country tan yard. "Mr. Calderhead has the courage of his convictions and the Kansan would sup port a man honest in his views and his action, though some of them are at vari ance with ours, rather than to support a weak-minded political poltroon, only pre tending to be right for the purpose of se curing the support of voters at the ballot box. To use the language of Senator Har ris in his keynote: 'Do the best you can today and God will take care of vou hereafter." We shall follow the distin guished senator's advice and we will, un der no circumstances whatever. support either John Doyle or Andrew Shearer for congress." f Ottawa, Kan., and Return $1.60 via Santa Fe. account Chautauqua.
