V LAST FRIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JULY 1 1, 1902. FRIDAY, EVENING. TWO CENTS. f. DISASTER AT JOHNSTOWN. Work of Taking Out Bodies of Dead Miners Begins. Eighty-seven Brought to the Surface Daring the Night. CAUSED BY FIRE DAMP? The Superintendent of the Mine Makes a Statement. Families of the Dead Will Get a Thousand Dollars Each. Number of Lives Lost Estimated at From 100 to 300. Johnson, Pa., July 1L Early today it was not known how many persons erlshed In the awful disaster at the rolling mill mine of the Cambria Steel company. At 6 o'clock this morning 87 bodies have been recovered. Of these, 47, all contorted and many blackened and burned and some of them headless, lie stretched on rough slabs in the im provised morgue in the armory building. Forty more are in the cars in the mine ready to be borne out as fast as room can be made for them. Last estimates of the number of dead reduce the fatal scope of the calamity. But those, while fixing It around 100, are not conclusive. General Mine Superintendent George T. Robinson would not say at this time whether he thought there were 100 or 300 dead. He said there was no way of knowing until a full investigation of the mine was made. When that will be he Bays he has no means of telling. All rests with the difficulty to be encoun tered in clearing the heading of after damp. It was 5:65 o'clock when the first train load of victims was brought to the mouth of the main entry. Forty-nine cars were used in bringing out 46 dead bodies and four living injured. The dis covery of the dead bodies was made by a searching party about 10 o'clock last night. They were lying in the main heading two miles in from the main pit mouth. No attempt was made to remove them until certainty was estab lished that no more living remained in the mine. "The first statement of the disaster was given to the Associated Press reporter by Superintendent Rob inson at 7 o'clock this morning. He Bald: SUPERINTENDENT'S STATEMENT. "As to the direct cause of the ex plosion I cannot exactly say. We know there was an explosion of fire damp in the sixth heading of a section of the mine commonly known as the Klondike. So far as I can find out now there were not more than three or four deaths from the explosion itself. The balance were caused by the afterdamp.' "Our mine officials, the mine foreman, Henry Rodgers, Fire Boss John Retallic, Machine Boss William Robinson, who Is my brother, and a Slav, whose name 1 do not know, were back eating lunch when the explosion occurred. They im mediately went to the Doint of the ex plosion to put up the sloping In order to carry the air in its proper channel again. These were blown down by the force of the explosion. "They, with the exception of the as sistant foreman and one of the fire bosses, were overcome by afterdamp. They were found by a rescuing nartv and the chances are that all will re cover with the exception of mv brother. "As to the rescue work, I directed it to commence just as soon after the ex plosion as possible. We started in at 1 p. m. We worked our way down by putting up brattices in order to carry the air in with us. I suppose it was 10 o'clock at night before we came across the bodies of the living. Doctors John uwman ana Jotin Hannan went down with us. They carried tanks of oxveen with them and they were emptied with good effect on the living. "We found 25 dead on our way to these four living. Twenty more were found later on. They were scattered through that section of the mine. Most of them were on their way out when caught by the fatal afterdamp. "Mining Engineer M. G. Moore and myself will organize another searching party ana go in at o'clock this morn ing. There is damp In the left head ings which will make our Droerress toil. some. Part of the mine is so filled with afterdamp we cannot get in until we turn tne current or air In." WAITING FOR THE DKAT). When the bodies of the victims came from the mine, a long line of undertak ers' wagons and picnic wagons were in waiting to take them on the roundabout route to the morgue in the city. There they were backed up to a door and a large force of police were ready to check the great throng from pressing in too close. Body after body Tas dragged from the wagons and borne in side. All of them were blackened and unrecognizable, until the undertakers got to work. The head of one man was crushed and the only means of identifi cation will be by his check number. The arms of most of them were twisted In front of them as If to shield their faces from fire. The left hand of one man was torn off at the wrist. The bodies now recovered were all found about two miles in from the main pit mouth. The headings leading from that region off to the left, where it is expected most of the dead will be got, may not be enter ed by the searchers today. The rolling mill mine has been work ed for about 50 years. Five or six years ago the section where the disaster of yesterday occurred, waa opened. The miners lancirully called it the Klondike. It is said that for the past three years gas has been noticed in It and rarofni Inspections were kept up. In the last three years safety lamps had been car ried by the men. Frank Sabot, one of the boys who met death In a heroic endeavor to save his comrades, was safely out of the mine after the explo sion. He worked in the mine ever since the Klondike was opened up. After the explosion he hastened into the vault of death to do what he could to close the traps and check the spread of the af terdamp. He was found lying near a partly-closed door leading off to one of the left headings. THE ARMORT A MORGUE. Soon after the discovery of the first corpse the mine officials began to make arrangements for the removal of the bodies from the scene of the disaster. The armory of Company H, a big barn like frame building on the outskirts of the city, was transformed into a tem porary morgue. Chairs were placed in raws opposite each other and rough boards and planks placed -upon them to serve, instead of the marble or slate slabs that receive the dead in metropol itan morgues. Nearly a score of young men were called in to assist the dozen undertak ers of the city; dry goods establishments were opened and hundreds of yards of muslin, toweling and other goods got ten out for the purpose of preparing the bodies for burial. Sleepless mothers and wives waited all night for news from the missing ones and peeped through drawn blinds as the cortege passed on its way to the morgue. Many trips were necessary and the gray dawn had come long be fore the last trip nad been made. President Powell Stackhouse ana Superintendent C. S.Price were on hand for the arrival of the bodies at the morgue and the wives, sweethearts and relatives of the missing crowded around the building. Outside of the property loss, this ca tastrophe will cost the Cambria Steel company a large sum. The company has for many years past paid to the family of every person kill ed in its employ $1,000 outside of what it expended for medical purposes and it has paid every man who has lost an eye, limb or became otherwise partially aisaDiea, tne sum or 500. It is understood that the rule will not be deviated from. A searching party of 40. headed by Mine Superintendent Robinson entered the mine at 9:30 o'clock. Those on the outside do not look for the arrival of victims on the surface until the middle of the afternoon. COUNTED 65 DEAD. From the positions of the bodies, the miners were evidently eatintr their lunches when suddenly stricken down by tne explosion. Tbey were seated in groups of five and ten, with their buck ets and the remains of their lunches scattered over the floor. Evidently their lives were snuned quickly and easily. Distressing scenes are constantly about the temporary morgue and on the side of the river at the foot of the mouth of the pit where women and chil dren are awaiting the solution of the awful mystery of the life or death of their relatives, yet unheard from. Several thousand are conirreeated at both points. No comfort is extended them by the mine officials, as it Is now conceded that no living 'soul who was in the mine after the explosion and not heard from, can possibly be alive. rr. Lowroan said to the Associated Press reporter today that during his stay in the mine last night he counted 65 dead bodies and that he did not have an opportunity to examine any gas-nnea cnamDers oi tne big workings. Reports now current are that only 80 are dead. FOUND SOME ALIVE. Johnstown. Pa., July 11. The search ing party that entered the mine this af ternoon penetrated to the four left headings which they were unable to reach last night. They found in one group 12 bodies, they believed tiix of them were living. At 2 o'clock this af ternoon they sent out for medical as sistance. Doctors have just gone in. IDENTIFIED DEAD. Johnstown. Pa.. July 11. Of the bodies at the morgue, the following have been identified: JOHN THOMAS, mine boss. 60 years old, leaves a widow and child. He escaped but went back to help others, and thus lost his life. JOHN WHITNEY, fire boss. 45 years old,' married. He also escaped but went back with Thomas and perished with him from the fire- damp. william blanche, assistant mine foreman, 32. unmarried. MIKE SILOEANEC, 45. MIKE SILOEANEC, 18, son of above. EMERICH BASISTA, 23. MIKE SABOT, 19. JOHN BORASAP, married. JOHN HDLET. SPEEZE SHINKOB, 42, leaves a widow and five children. JOHN BARTOK, 38, leaves a widow and two children. JOHN LACKO, 30, widow and two children. MIKE PREZUCKI, 38, widow and three children. STEPHEN KNOTZ, 28, widow and child. JOHN NOVAK. ANTON LAZARSKI. 20.

Of the 47 bodies at the morgue, 21 were Identified as Poles. As fast as identification is completed the bodies are being taken to their houses. At noon the charnal house was about cleared of bodies. EXPECT MORE RAIN. Weather Bureau Says May Be Mere Showers. The government forecast sent out by the weather bureau this morning was for possible showers. The forecast is "partly cloudy tonight and Saturday with possibly local show ers. Warmer north portion tonight." The wind this morning was west blow ing three miles an hour. The minimum temperature was 61. The hourly tem peratures recorded by the government thermometer were as follows: 7 o'clock 67111 o'clock 80 8 o'clock 7212 o'clock 7 9 o'clock ..74! 1 o'clock 78 10 o'clock 78 2 o'clock 80 Cattle Have Blackleg.

INTO LITTLE RUSSIA. Several Families Compelled to Abandon Homes. Water Pours Over the Updegraff Farm. Gauge Registers 15 Feet Two Inches and Stops. At 2:30 this afternoon the Kansas river had gained very "little on the mark of 15 feet two inches registered this forenoon. It is believed that the high est point has now been reached. The Kansas river at 11 o'clock had touched the 15 feet and two inches mark and was still rising. Very little drift was coming down and the street car bridge is in little danger. The bridges across the river at St. Marys, Valencia, Rossville, the brick plant, Sardou avenue and Grantville are in danger and the county commis sioners have been watching them to prevent the drift from piling against them and to save them if possible. Little Russia," the settlement along the river front on the north side be tween the Kansas avenue and Santa Fe bridges, is partially under water and several families were forced to leave their houses today and last night. A dozen houses are surrounded by water and in some instances the water is over the floor and within a few inches of the window sills. So far no houses have been carried away as they are protected by trees and the swiftest current of the river has not reached them. The occupants of the houses were forced to leave them during the night Some of them carried out most of their belongings but they will suffer consid erable loss on account of their gardens being inundated. Many more houses are in danger and their occupants are watching the river ready to move out if it continues ta rise. Several houses on little rises of ground are completely surrounded, although the water has not touched them. Piles of drift wood, which had been collected, are floating in the dooryards and much of it has been carried away. In several places the Russians were trying to dig their potatoes where the patches were a foot under water. NEAR INTER OCEAN MILLS. Two houses at the foot of Quincy street, in North Topeka, are partially surrounded by water and the little lines of muddy water this morning were con stantly branching away from the main stream and steadily advancing. The water is within a fe feet of the store house of the Inter Ocean mills at the foot of Quincy street. The water has soaked through the ground into the cel lar of the Central Mills and pumps have been busy all day keeping the water down. The water has backed up on both sides of the embankment forming the approach to the north side of the Kansas avenue bridge. Several corn fields east of the Santa Fe tracks on the north side are under water and several hundred acres be tween the Santa Fe and Sardou avenue bridges on the north side are inundated. The street railway tracks under the Santa Fe bridge are four feet under water. The Rock Island switch tracks on the made ground at the foot of Tyler and Polk streets are submerged and the Santa Fe switching tracks along the water front to the Wolff packing houses are several feet under water. IN THE CITY PARK. The water is gradually creeping up in the city park and ai noon part of the walks and driveways close to the river were covered. Boys in boats were pad dling round as far south as the Crane street line. The water has backed up througn soldier creek ana part of Gar field park is inundated. Near the mouth of Soldier creek the river is half a mile wide. General Manager Patten has no fears for the street car bridge as he says the structure has withstood the strain with the river several feet higher than now. The water is now five feet below the bottom of the heavy bridge timbers. The driftwood has all been cleared away from the piling and the strain is not so terrific. The damage to the county bridge across the river at the brick yards three miles west of town is not great as only loose timbers were carried away. The damage will not amount to more than 55. FIELDS UNDER WATER. Alons- the northwest approach to the Sardou avenue Iron bridge the water was running inland at a terrific rate at 11 o clock this morning, showing that the river was rising rapidly. The corn fields along the road were completely inundated. Chief Donovan took a ride around through "Moscow Row" and across the Sardou bridge In the patrol wagon, ac comnanied by Marshal Dryer of Era poria. Police Judge Macaw and report ers. When they reached the bridge all began talking about their ability as swimmers. The bridge was free from drift, owing to the rounding surface or tne steel piers which support the strue- ture, but the -water was so high at that time that no drift' of any size could pass under the girders, which were only about 18 inches above the water. The river was comparatively free from drift wood at the time. A four-foot rise would sweep the planking from the en tire structure. On the south side of the river, at the old cable dump, the water had invaded the desiccating plant build ings. DRIVEN OUT OF THEIR HOUSE. The house iust west of the north end of the Santa Fe railroad bridge, which was vacated last night by its occupants, a family of Russians, who were com pelled to wade out and carry the many smaller members of tne family, is now accessible only by boat. Several do mestic fowls which were left to their fate are roosting on the fence and cosfi house, and various negroes spent the day sitting on the railroad track dis cussing the advisability of swimming out and rescuing the birds. The temp tation seemed to be strong, but the cnickens are safe at least for a while and exempt from the frying pan. KlSACHJfiS MANHATTAN BRIDGE. Manhattan, Kan., July 11. The Blue river here has reached a height of 22 feet above low water mark. The bridge is in great danger. The water has reached the superstructure of the bridge and it is in great danger of be ing carried away, At noon the river was still rising. SILVER LAKE THREATENED. At Silver Lake the river threatens the surrounding country. The big lake, formed by an abandoned bend of the river, is full and in many places is flowing over into the fields. The ap proach to the river bridge is under wa ter. The lake rises with the river and if the water does not soon recede or come to a standsill there will be great danger to crops and buildings. SANTA FE TRACKS UNDER WATER The Santa Fe is experiencing- con siderable trouble on he eastern division between Topeka and Kansas City. In several places along the river the tracks are submerged and- trains have been given orders to run slow through the water. So far the tracks are safe but if the water continues to rise there is danger of the roadbed and tracks being washed away. DELAWARE IS BOOMING. Valley Falls, Kan.. July 11. The Del aware river has reached the highest point recorded since the rise began. The falls are covered and the water runs level over them. The water is over the flooring of the bridges and the Santa Fe bridge is in danger. The Delaware is still rising and threatens great damage if the rise continues. EXPECT FURTHER RISE. The weather bureau officials expected the Kansas river to continue to rise to day. The officials at Kansas City are keeping close watch on the rivers tribu tary to the Missouri and Observer Jen nings is reporting the condition of the Kansas river here. Observer Jennings believes that the river will continue to rise today but the rise may cease to night. So far no rains have been re ported in northern Kansas that will ef fect the river today. ARMOURDALE UNDER WATER. Kansas City, Ho., July 11. Tils Mis souri and the Kaw rivers here are near ly one foot higher than yesterday with indications that they will continue to rise gradually fojv;,nofher 24 hours at least. Tn. worst 4&smge is at the rail road town of Armourdale, on the Kaw, where several streets are under from one to four feet of water. BREAKS INTO UPDEGRAFF FARM. The Kansas river overflowed its banks on the north side three miles west of town and this morning and a part of O. P. Updegraft's Riverside stock farm was inundated. The water has been close to the top of the bank at this point since Wednesday and last night the water went over. It flowed over much of the farm land to a depth of several inches but at noon seemed to be receding. On the south side of the river the banks are much higher than on the north side, west of Topeka, and there is no danger of the water over flowing the country on the south. MR. WOLFF'S STATEMENT. The Wolff Packing company has suf fered no damage to the stock of meats and the only loss has been occasioned by the expense of transferring the meats and pumping out the eellars. Mr. Chas. Wolff said today: "There seems to be erroneous reports as to the situation at our plant on account of high water. There was ho damage to meat whatever and none of it has been flooded as we had a force of men at work all night removing meat from the cellar, as we anticipated trouble and we had the cellars empty before the water com menced to get beyond control of the pumps. There is now about a foot and a half of water in the cellars and as we have received pumps and assist ance from the Santa Fe we expect to soon have the cellars clear of water. What damage we have sustained is in the nature of expense of fitting up pumps and transferring meat." DAMAGE AT LAKEVIEW. At Lakeview, five miles this side of Lawrence, the river has broken over the embankment and has flooded all the farm land at the north end of the bend, compelling three families to move out of their houses and doing Immense dam age to crops. It is estimated that 100 acres of wheat and a great deal of corn is under water and ruined. It is feared that the river will cut a permanent course across the big bend of the old channel and render a wide area of farm land useless. The dam age done so far is north of the Santa Fe railroad tracks, and the Lakeview club house is not believed to be in any danger. The water has backed up against the railroad embankment and is running into the main body of the lake to the full capacity of the culvert. So far there has not been any chance for the black bass with which the lake is richly stocked, to escape. The families of Al Stevens, G. G. Thomas and William St. Clair were obliged to move out this morning. The water is all over tneir farms. A dispatch from Lawrence says: "The Kaw river broke through its banks at Lakeview early today and began rapidly fillling the lake at that resort Efforts were made to stop the break and pre vent the overflowing of the country anout tne lake, lne river here con tinues to rise and large force of Union Pacific railroad hands is kept busy pre venting the high water from breaking into the old river channel north of the city.". Socialists Are Active. The Socialists have decided to push the campaign in Shawnee county this fall. A meeting was held last -night and a local organization formed. O. F Olmstead was elected chairman and E. A. Shankle secretary of the association. G. C. Clemens made an address and re ports were read of the work in other portions of the state. F. H. White, C. J. Mercer and W. D. Gilpin were ap pointed a committee to have charge of me.. work or the ciud. Meetings are to be held every two weeks. Earthquakes on St. Vincent St. Thomas. -July 1L Advices received here from the Is'.anl of St Vincent say that three earthouaKe frnocks were ex- I perienced there Tuesday within four hours. IT LOOKS BAD. Testimony in Dr. Meffert Hear ing Commences. Damaging Affidavits Are Pro duced in Court. FIERCE LEGAL FIGHT. Attorneys Make Futile Efforts to Stop Hearing. Motions to Strike Out Part of Charges Overruled. Defense of the Doctor Takes a Favorable Turn. The legal battle between the attorneys in the Meffert hearing was continued all Thursday afternoon and no evidence was introduced. Judge Buck represent ing Dr. Meffert first filed a motion to quash the proceedings on the ground that the board of medical examiners has no jurisdiction to sit as a court Assistant Attorney General Clad Ham ilton argued that the hearing is an in vestigation and not a legal trial; that the hearing is for the sole purpose of determining whether or not Dr. Meffert is of good moral character and it is the board's duty to investigate it. Every point was argued by Judge Buck and Judge Redden on behalf of Meffert, and by Captain Hamilton and J. Harvey Frith, city attorney of Em poria, for the state. The board over ruled the motion. Judge Buck then moved that a por tion of the charges be stricken out and that the balance be made more definite and certain, and this was argued at length. The board decided that it felt in duty bound to make a thorough in vestigation of all charges. Some of the charges against Meffert did not state the names of the parties implicated in immoral acts with him, and Meffert's attorneys insisted that these names be supplied and made public, but .as they had been left out to protect the families of these parties, the board decided that they should not be inserted. In fact the board showed a determi nation to get all the facts concerning Meffert's character and refused to be bound by technicalities. There were six members of the board present when it reconvened at 8:30 this morning. Dr. Williston, of Lawrence, was still absent The introduction of evidence was at once taken up, but Dr. Meffert's at torneys objected to every point but were uniformly overruled. The first evidence was the affidavit of a woman that Dr. Meffert once per formed a criminal operation upon her. Her name was known to all parties di rectly interested in the trial, but tor the reason that she has since moved away and married a respectable young man who knows nothing of the circum stances of the operation, and for this reason her name was suppressed. She made affidavit that after performing the criminal operation. Dr. Meffert left her in a building alone with no help near, and that he left town. When she was found she was thought to be in a dying condition, and while it was sup posed she would not recover she made a statement accusing Dr. Meffert of criminal practice, upon the strength of which action was brought against Mef fert. Afterwards the woman recovered, and she states in her affidavit that as she feared the publicity of the trial, sho left Emporia and the case was dis missed for want of "prosecution.-. Copies of legal papers were introduc ed in support of the statement that legal proceedings were brought against Meffert, and Dr. G. H. Biddle made affidavit that the criminal operation alleged had been performed. A -decree of the district court of Lyon county was read showing that Meffert s wife secured a divorce from him in 1895, but they are now living to gether. According to an affidavit signed by a number of Meffert's neighbors, he seems to have been operating a good deal like a Mormon Elder without the plural marriage ceremonies. This affidavit was Bigneu ii y mr. anu .oars, l. a. xittie john, Mr. and Mrs. Willam Gilpin. Mrs. Sadie Miller, Mrs. J. B. McKlnley, and H. K. Miller. They made affidavit that Dr. Meffert is living with his divorced wife and that he has at times had other young women living there with him. Probate Judge M. M. Mason made af fidavit to matters that had never been made public before. He says that in January, 1901, a young woman named Alice 'irayior came to ms omce and ask ed for a marriage license for herself and Dr. Meffert and asked him to be at Dr. Meffert's office that evening, pre sumably to marry them. Judge Mason kept the appointment and Meffert first asked him if the marriage could be kept secret. He was told that it could for a short time only. Meffert then refused to be married, saying that if his divorc ed wife should hear of it she would shoot either himself or Miss Traylor or both. W. A. Hall made affidavit concerning improper acts of a man and woman near Reading, but he did not identify the parties. It is understood that they will be ldentinea Dy oral testimony. Mrs. Kate Littlelohn has made affi davit that Dr. Meffert made advances towards her unbecoming of a gentle man. It is said he tried to kiss her. A statement signed by those who were members of the board of education of En poria, in which it was stated that the board asked Alice Traylor, who was then a teacher in the city schools, to desist from associating with Dr Mef fert because of his immoral character that she refused and the board asked for her resignation, which was given. An extract from the minutes of the facutly of the state normal in last May was introduced, in which it was public ly stated that the faculty formally re fused to include Dr. Meffert in the list of physicians recommended to normal students, because of nis reputation for immorality. The following statement by Emporia physicians was also introduced: "We, the undersigned physicians of Emporia, Lyon county, Kan., being regularly registered and practicing un der the Kansas medical law, have known Dr. Meffert since he located in Emporia, Kan. We have good reason to believe that' he is grossly immoral, and we know that he is guilty of other unprofessional conduct to such a de gree that we will not meet him in con sultation or recognize him as a member of the medical profession. We hereby urge the state board of medical regis tration and examination to revoke his license." The statement was signed by Drs. Gardner, Biddle, Fon cannon. Longe nocker. Page. Wright. Parrington. Hig- glns, Sherburne, King, Eckdall. Morri son. Tingling, Poindexter, Jacobs, Hunt, Wetmore, Ellsworth, Cromer. A petition asking for the revoking ot Meffert's medical license signed by Revs. W. C. Madison, J. M. Hughes, F. J. Sauber, F. G. Ward, A. S. Vincent, W. A. Parker, Father Rom, H. C. Whitby, H. Zimmerman, was Introduced, and also another along the same line signed by a large number of representative citizens of Emporia, headed by Mayor Morse, State Senator L. R. Wright, Representative Charles Harris, President .Wilkinson of the State normal. Presi dent Miller of the College of Emporia, and many others. The first oral witness was Dr. T. A. Brown, of Reading, who was intro duced to identify Dr. Meffert as one ot the parties seen by W. A. Hall in the pasture. He did not see Meffert in the pasture himself but met him driving away from the locality, and his descrip tion of Meffert, whom he met and rec ognized, tallied with that given by Hall of the man he saw in the pasture. The defense attempted to compel Dr. Brown to give the name of the girl Im plicated with -Dr. Meffert but he re fused and the board ruled that he did not have to do so. Dr. Packer, chairman of the board, called down the lawyers who attempted to wrangle over hair-splitting legal technicalities. He said the board want ed to arrive at the facts in the case and would not stand on technicalities. On cross-examination Dr. Brown tes tified that W. N. Smelzer, who is one of Meffert s attorneys, was with Meffert when Brown met Meffert coming away from the pasture, and that they were in a surrey driven by a colored man. This completed the direct evidence on the part of the state. DEFENSE BEGINS. The defense introduced a counter af fidavit by the woman upon whom it was alleged a criminal operation had been performed. The affidavit denied that Dr. Meffert had ever performed a criminal operation upon the affiant It was made May 14, 1902. three or four days prior to the affidavit produced by the state. The girl's mother made affidavit that the girl's supposed dying statement was secured while she, the mother, was ab sent from the room, and that the girl's nerves were in such condition that she was not responsible for her statements. Affidavits of E. J. Palmer and Mrs. R. A. Palmer stated that the girl re ferred to was visiting at their house when O. M. Wilhite, Charles Harris and others called to see her about the Mef fert case; that they warned her against getting mixed up in it and that she said she was to receive $25 and expenses for coming to Topeka and testifying before Attorney General Godard with reference to Meffert but that she wouldn't give any damaging evidence against Meffert because she didn't know anything against him. Dr. W. F. Boylan, now of Guthrie, but formerly of Emporia, went on the stand and testified that he was called to see the girl after the time of the alleged criminal operation, but found no evi dences of such an operation. On the contrary he found her suffering from a disease which might have produced her trouble. Dr. G. W. Morse testified that he was in the room where the girl was sick, but made no examination of. her condi tion, and that Dr. Biddle made no ex amination either. The object of his tes timony was to impeach the affidavit of Dr. Biddle. At this point the board adjourned for noon. After the board reconvened this after noon the defense introduced the affidavit of H. P. Wilson, who stated that the girl who made the affidavit before At torney General Godard charging Meffert with performing a criminal operation. told him that she had to sign the charges but that she really had noth ing against Dr. Meffert who had al ways treated her as well as otner n;m- porla people. Dr. 1'. m. Kvana, rormeny or wiiston. Ok., went on the stand to rebut evi dence with regard to criminally neg lecting Mrs. John Roberts, who after wards died. He testified to having as sisted in an operation performed by Dr. Meffert who had charge of the case. .On the eighth day he went to Kansas City ana railed to get DacK ior two days, and Dr. Evans was called in. An affidavit made by Dr.Garner stated that Dr. Evans said Meffert had gone off to Kansas City and left him with a bad case. Dr. Evans denied saying this. The idea of the state was to show un professional conduct on the part of Meffert Affidavits Of Mrs. Roberts' mother and sister to the same effect were intro duced. GIRL DEFENDS DR. MEFFERT. Meda Stine said in an affidavit that she is the bookkeeper for the telephone company in Emporia and has known Dr. Meffert for six years, one year of which she boarded at his house while going to school. She gave the names of several other women who had been with Dr. Meffert as patients. Never saw any improper conduct on the pari of Meffert or any of the patients. Alice Traylor makes affidavit that the ru:nor that Dr. Meffert caused her downfall is false and that he had al ways treated her as a gentleman.

LIKE APIIAfiTOn. Tracy Has Again Appeared and Disappeared. Tanished Through Cordon of Officers Surrounding Him. SHOTS ABE EXCHANGED This Time Nobody Is Hurt Un less It Be the Outlaw. A Tictim Relates His Experience With the Desperado. Tacoma, Wn., July 11. A special to the Ledger from Covington, Wn., says Tracy has performed the marvelous again and has slipped like a phantom through a cordon of guards at the mouth of Sluice creek, fought a battle with the deputies a mile west of here and escaped into the timber. In the fighting no one was hurt, though when the outlaw fired twice at T. F. Crow, he. was so close that the deputy could feel the burning powder as it was blown from the gun. When darkness fell Tracy was thought to be securely penned on the point of the Western Bluff, where he had lain concealed all afternoon. Though1 the guards were stationed thickly, one- be ing posted every 50 feet he successfully eluded their and traveled up the road bed of the Palmer cutoff toward Cov ington, five miles distant At 11:45 last night Tracy arrived at the sawmill plant of the Covington Lumber company, a mile from this place. Deputy Sheriffs J. A. Bunce. Fred C. Bunce, Galvin and Crow had been sent to guard this point Deputies Crow and the Bunces, father and son, had posted themselves on the railroad near the sawmill at the entrance of h. big cut near a rise of ground, the Bunces being on the outer guard line. They were hardly settled when they heard footsteps approaching from the Auburn side but remained quiet until the unknown had almost come abreast of them when the challenge to bait .was given. "Hello," responded the stranger. "What's your name?" demanded J.vA. Bunce. "My name is Anderson." As he gave this reply Tracy, for it was he, started to run. The deputies again called on him to halt but he kept going and they opened fire, shooting four times each. Tracy ran up the track and a few yards further encountered Deputy Sheriff Crow. "Who goes there?" challenged the of ficer. "A deputy," coolly responded the out--' law Crow thinking it was the elder Bunce, Started to approach when Tracy com menced shooting at close range, firing two- shots. The bullets whistled harm lessly by, but Crow suffered slightly from the burning powder, as it sped from the muzzle of the rifle. After the shooting Tracy turned and entered the brush along the side of the track where he was lost in the black ness of the night a few feet away. The deputies made a hurried circle through the woods to Covington to head Tracy off, but. on their arrival found that he had not passed the station. A dispatch dated 3 a. m. adds that since his escape from the north side of Sluice creek. Tracy attempted to board one of the east bound freights. The grade is heavy at this point, but the train was running light and at such speed that Tracy was unable to board It Another train passed and the conduc tor reports that while running near the sawmill, some one called for him to stop. As there are no deputies there at present, it is thought that Tracy la the man who called, and the opinion is ad vanced that he may have been wounded in the battle just before midnight A man, thought to be Merrill, ap peared yesterday at the home of a farmer a few miles east of Ravendale. near here, and wanted food. He remain ed in the vicinity all day. Sheriff Cudihee and Guard Carson, with the bloodhounds and a small posse left Auburn at 6 o'clock this morning for the place where Tracy was last seen. FIVE HOURS AHEAD. Convict Tracy Again Pursued by Of ficers and Dogs. Tacoma. Wn.. July 11. At 8 o'clock this morning. Sheriff Cudihee and num erous posses arrived at Covlngton.about 12 miles from Tacoma, where Tracy eluded the posse at midnight Every train going toward the Northern Pacific tunnel through the Cascades is stopped and searched. The location of the coun try is such that Tracy may be said to be naturally cornered in the point of a triangle and therefore developments are momentarily expected. All indications are that Tracy is fol lowing the Palmer railroad cutoff up the mountains, keeping in the timber a hundred feet or so from the railroad tracks. If he startei at daylight he now has five hours start of the posse following with the hounds. MERRILL ENTERS THE GAME. Seattle, July 11. A special to the Times from Covington, Wn., says: A man answering -the description cf Merrill, Tracy's partner In the Salem outbreak, appeared at Ravendale yes terday afternoon. He held up a family two miles east of that place for a din ner and later returned to .the house an I procured a supply of provisions. It in considered possible that Tracy and Mer rill have a more or less well understood plan of action. TRAIL IS STRUCK. Tacoma. Wash., July 11. At 11:45 a. m. Tracy's trail was picked up leading from Covington toward Lake Tapps. A DAT WITH: TRACY. EL K. Johnson Unwillingly Entertains the Outlaw in His Home. Seattle, Wn.; July 11.

SPORTING NEWS. The Big Pugilists Are to Move Nearer Frfcico. Champion and Fitz Soon to Change Training Quarters. OAKLAND FOR JEFF. Hank Griffin ThinksLanky Bob's Chances Good. Colored Man Has Sparred With Both Fighters. San Francisco, Cal.. July 11. Fitzsira xnons and Jeffries are preparing to move the base of their operations into the Immediate vicinity of San Francisco. Both of the fighters and their trainers have agreed that such a course Is the correct thing to do,' as the sudden changes from the heat of the mountains to the cooler atmosphere in this vicinity at the last moment is liable to have a bad influence on the big fellows. Jeffrie is coming down to quarters at the Reliance club In Oakland, which he occupied during his preliminary work for his bout with Ruhlin. A place has not yet been selected to Bob, but It is practically an assured fact that he will leave Skaggs Springs In the course of the next 10 days. Onrai Dawson has worked wonder with Fltzsimmons during his brief stay at the springs. He was put in full con rol and has demanded perfect obedl -nee to a set of laws that he has laid down. "Boldier" Wilson did not prove to- be the best kind of a sparring partner tot Bob. He Is strong and willing but lacks knowledge of boxing and did not draw out the Australian's cleverness. Hank Griffin has supplied the deficiency nicely, however, and his testimony ol Flts's prowess may be of Interest be cause he has twice met Jeffries in act ual ring engagements. Before Jeffries attained prominence Griffin gave the champion a hard fight, succumbing to superior weight in 17 rounds. Last year at Los Angeles Jef fries attempted to stop the colored man in four rounds and failed, although Griffin did considerably more than try to defend himself. Hank maintains that Fitzsimmons' punch is much more to be feared than the Jeffries article, and in the two weeks that Griffin has served as a human punching bag at Skaggs Springs he has learned a whole some respect for the cleverness and punching ability of Bob. He says he would rather face Jeffries a dozen times than meet Fitzsimmons once where any thing depended on the battle. Up at Harbin Springs, where the champion is daily training, everything is confidence and such a thing as los ing the conning battle Is not even con sidered, but work of conditioning the marvelous physique of Jeff is not being neglected in any way, for Fitz Is recog nized as the one man In the ring today who has a chance to take the laurels. Gans and Turner will fight In Oakland on July 24. the evening before the Jeffries-FItzsimmons battle. They, are to weigh In at 135 ringside and fight for a percentage of the box receipts. A meeting was held yesterday at Harry Corbett's. The weight was the princi pal matter for discussion, as the date, the 24th was obviously the best since the entire crowd of sports who will come here to see the big battle will have a chance to attend the affair. Turner has fought some good battles. In his most recent bout in Stockton he put Willie Lewis to sleep In two rounds. BTGRAW IN NEW YORK. Has an Interview With Freedman and Discusses His Flans. New York. July 11. John T. McGraw, the Giants new manager, met President Freedman at the latter's office, and signed a contract with New York for four years at one of the largest salaries ever paid a manager. The amount is not mentioned, bnt there Is good au thority for the statement that McGraw's salary will be $10,000 a year. According to the contract, McGraw will have ab solute charge of the Giants. He has been told by Mr. Freedman to give New York the best team possible, and with this end in view he has begun to look for the best players available. No expense will be spared, and if necessary a reorganization of the present team will be effected. After this conference with Mr. Freed man. which lasted toj an hour, McGraw said: "I have orders to get the best ball players for the New York team, and it will be my aim to secure desirable play ers wherever I can find them. I will play on the team, as well as manage it. Just what position I will fill T rira't know as yet. Neither do I know what changes will be made until I have had an opportunity to judge the players for myself. I don't think it would be ad visable to change a man like Lauder. 1 consider him one of the strong members of the team. "I expect to Join the team In a day or two, and I will then see for myself what changes are necessary. I will Ha-Ha-Hal Have you heard the latest saying?

McGraw has full power to dicker for Williams, the hard-hitting second base man of the Baltimores. It is announced that Pittsburg has withdrawn her claim to Williams, and that Fteedman, of New; York, knew this before he dealt with McGraw, No secret is now made of the fact that for some months Freed man has been trying to land Williams, and Pittsburg friends of the tnflelder believe Williams has already agreed to go. President Mahon of the Baltimore club, bought McGraw'a stock, amount Ing to 36,600. TOM SHARKEY IN HOSPITAI Frank Erne Reports Sailor Still Suf fering From Buhlin's Punches. New York, July 11. Frank Erne, the lightweight champion, arrived in this city last night from London, where he met and defeated Paddy Moloney dur ing the coronation tournament held by the National Sporting club in London. Erne was In fine shape and said his battle wittt- Moloney was one of the easiest he ever fought. In speaking of the Sharkey-Ruhlin contest Eie said the sailor was given one of the worst beatings he ever saw a man receive. Sharkey had been pre paring for Ruhlin's left jab for weeks by toughening his face with a pickling, preparation. He knew that Ruhlin would depend greatly on his left to keep the fight at long range and thought that as long as his face was not cut he would never be in danger of losing. Ruhlin's jabs, however, cut Sharkey's face terribly and before the end of the battle the sailor was a pitia ble sight. It was rumored the day Erne left London that Sharkey had been taken to a hospital for treatment and that it would be days before he would again be out. Charlie White is expected to leave England today for this city. PETER JACKSON HATCHED. He Is to Fight Mike Donovan at Iios Angeles on July 22. San Francisco, Cal., July 11.

Jimmy Barry, the undefeated bantam-weight, and only a few years back the holder of the cham pionship, will make another attempt to win among the little fellows. This is the result of Barry's recent connection with David Sullivan, whom he helped condition for both matches with Cham pion Young Corbett In workouts with the little Irishman while In Denver and St Louis, Barry was surprised at his renewed activity and his ability to go the distance of four or six fast rounds without experiencing much of a tired feeling. This he considers as sufficient evidence that he has yet some good fights left In him, and this, with the en couragement given him by Sullivan and Forbes, is accountable for the an nouncement made this morning that he will arrange a match as soon as possi ble and will start into training; immedi ately. Articulate vs. Gold Heels. Chicago, July 11. John A. Drake, the owner of Wyeth, the Derby winner, would like to see a match brought about between Articulate, the star horse of the Washington park meeting, and Gold Heels, the winner of the Subur ban, the Brighton handicap and other big events of the east.

TOFEKA STATE JOUItNAI FRIDAY EVENING. JULY "11, 1902. foot Ynjw Oj21 tf2 a. QJttJAj) cut- KANSAS NEWS. Atchison Talks About Catting Out Gambling. Thinks Slot Machine Revenues Are Not Necessary. FINANCES PLENTIFUL. Taxes Are Being Paid and Pen alties Collected. The City Would Be Better Off With Their Going. Atchison, Kan., July 11. The Globe says: The money slot machines are not in keeping with the decency end of. Atchison's peace and decency policy, and the city administration should not defend them on the ground that it neeeds the money paid into police court on their account. The city yesterday received $2,150 from the county through a decision of the supreme court that it was entitled to penalties collected by the county treasurer on delinquent taxes, and it is well understood that the income of the present administration exceeds that of any administration for years. This Increased income is due to the splendid manner in which the police department is conducted, to tax foreclosure sales under the new law and the unprece dented payment of taxes which was oc casioned by the enactment of the tax law, and the preparations for its en forcement For last year the total county levy was $245,000, of which $229,725 has been paid, and delinquents are coming in ev ery day, so that by the time this year's taxes are due the delinquency will not exceed $7,000 or $8,000, a third or fourth of what it was a few years ago. It is true that the present city ad ministration found an overdraft in the general revenue fund of about $11,000, but this has been reduced to about $4, 000, at the present time, and the tax suits will wipe it out without the aid of slot machines. It is also true that the city is building a new fire depart ment building to cost over $5,000, but the public was promised it would not cost to xeceed $1,800. Anyway the new building has been largely paid for al ready. Cut out the slot machines. BODGE CITY BANKRUPT. No License Prom Closed Saloons, Is the Given Cause. Dodge City,- Kan., July 11.

How can parents look upon such little sufferers and not reproach themselves for bringing so much misery into the world If you have any disease lurking in your system, how can you expect well developed, healthy children Cleanse your own blood and build up your health, and you have not only enlarged your capacity for the enjoyment of the pleasures ff life, but have discharged a duty all parents owe to posterity, and made mankind healthier and happier. i There is no remedy that so surely reaches deep-seated, stubborn blood a purely vegetable medicine, harmless in its effects, and can be taken by both old and young without fear of any bad results.

Noble made threats and said one of them would be dead before they reached Leavenworth if he did. The prisoner's hands were "cuffed" in front. Noble said he would escape again If put into the guard house. Clyde's Watermelon Trust. Clyde. Kan., July 11.

Machinists on Gulf Lines Have Walked Out. MORE MEN SENT WEST. "Contract Laborers" Are Filling the Boilermakers' Places. Union Pacific Strike Is at a .Deadlock. It is reported that the Santa Fe Gulf line is mixed up with another strike. this time it being the machinists who have gone out. The understanding is that the strike is the result of the walk out at Cleburne, which was reported in Thursday's State Journal. This was caused by the change of a workman from one kind of work to another, and is said to be intensified by the desire of the machinists for more pay. The strike is said to affect all tne Santa Fe shops south of Purcell. Shops are located at Cleburne and Temple, Texas, and smaller shops at Purcell, Galveston and Beaumont. It is under stood that about 300 men are out. Superintendent of Motive Power Henderson has gone to the scene of the trouble, and it is also understood, that W. A. Nettleton, assistant superintend ent,- is aiso at Cleburne or on the way there. In the absence of a statement from Superintendent of Motive Power Hen derson the company's side of the ma chinists' strike situation at Cleburne appears as this: A workman laid off a few days on account of sickness or something of that sort and when he came back the foreman had assigned his machine to another man. The first siachinist refused to go to other work, and the whole shop backed him ud in his refusal. The master mechanic of the division on which Cleburne is located Is Frederick L. Carson, formerly fore man of the Topeka roundhouse, late general foreman at that point and only recently promoted to his present posi tion. W. K. Symons. the mechanical superintendent of the Gulf lines, is also a new man with the company, having iaKen nolo, only about two months ago, when he gave up the sunerintendencv of motive power of the Plant system at Savannah, Ga. More "contract men" are being put to work by the Santa Fe company in the boilermaking department of the shops at San Bernardino and Needles. The of ficials claim that they are getting the work done now in very satisfactory manner. On the other hand, a letter received by the State Journal today from one of the strikers states that there are 22 dead engines in the shops at Needles, and many more than that number at San Bernardino, and that all the strikers have to do is to wait for the shortage of motive cower to win the strike for them. The letter to the State Journal says: "Eighteen men are still out at Nee dles and will remain so until the trou ble is settled satisfactorily to them whether that be a month or a year longer. Good order prevails and the workmen say they are. simply waiting for the exigencies of the occasion to demand their reinstatement. Twelve of the 18 strikers are married, although it is understood that few of them have their wives and families there." The San Bernardino newspapers can didly admit that things are very much in the dark in regard to the progress of the strike, and that information as to "where they are at" will be thank fully received. The Sun says.- "Stories wild eyed and woolly have shown themselves thick and fast Tips, 'right hot off the inside range,' have been offered but the plain, truth of the matter is that the local railroad men and the striking boiler makers, at this point, are about as much In the dark as to the proposed and rumored settlement as is Aguinaldo, or Little Boy, Blue. The strikers have heard net even a word from their grand lodge officers for almost a week while the railroad officials are not certain as to whether the trouble will be settled Christmas or not until later. 'If we keep our contract men here much long er they will all be experts whether thev were when they arrived or not,' said one of the shop foremen yesterday. 'I heard one of the men remark the other day that, if there were any of the boys who didn't know a monkey wrench from a steam hammer when they arrived this was certainly a good time and at good wages to serve his apprenticeship.' Another batch of the contract men ar rived in the yards vesterdav mnrninr and have taken up their headquarters at tne Hotel d'Box Car, which isn't the best argument in the world that the management has come to a settlement with the lodge officials of the union. SITUATION ON UNION PACIFIC. Omaha, Neb., July 11. Union Pacific officials and strike leaders each reassert that their respective positions are be coming materially strengthened as each day passes. The strikers point with pride to their assertion that there has not been a single defection from their ranks and that the greatest harmony and determination prevails. Railroad officials made the claim today that it was no longer necessary to hire any but the most experienced men, and that the company now gives each appli cant a rigid examination before sending him to work. They say the shops are being rapidly filled with skilled me chanics. Both sides are keeping all shops well picketed. Vice President Wilson start ed for another round up of the shops of the system. WINNER IS INTEKESTED. New Road From Kansas City to Ola the is Chartered. Jefferson City, Mo., July 11. A cer tificate of incorporation was issued to day by Secretary of State Cook to the Kansas City, Dallas Olathe Railway company of Kansas City. The new road Is capitalized at $500,000. and the charter provides that the company will continue for a term of 999 years. A point at or near Kansas City, in Jack son county, this state, by way of Olathe, in Johnson county. Kan., art the places at which and to which the proposed road is to be constructed, maintained and operated. It is to be 25 miles in length. The incorporators are. Henry G. Pert, A. A. Potter, William J. Knepp. Willard E. Winner, J. P. James, Herman Voights, John B. Fuqua, E .H. Matney and S. L. Malone. HEW TERMINAL TOWN. Bovina Wants to Be at End of Santa Fe Cutoff The Hereford Brand, published at Bovina. N. M., says: "While nearly all the papers along the line of the Pecos Valley railroad are claiming that the new proposed exten sion of the road to some point on the Santa Fe main line in New Mexico will start from their respective towns, It la our opinion that the road when built will be started from Bovina. Our rea sons for this statement are that the XIT owners are anxious to have a good town established at Bovina and as an inducement to have the road started at that point can give the rail road company a right or way clear through to New Mexico, and a glance at, the map will show that Bovina is the nearest point on the line to Albu querque, where it is expected the line will terminate." Will Restore Grain Rates. As a result of a conference of the traffic men of the western roads, held in Chicago yesterday, the grain rates from Kansas City to Chicago, which have been in a demoralized condition for some time, will probably be restor ed by August 1 to the normal point oc cupied before the recent resolutions. Money For Conscience Fund. On Saturday last the Southern Pacific passenger department at Houston re ceived two one-dollar bills with an un signed letter saying: "I rode on the S. P. rtain and didn't pay $2." The money was credited to the conscience fund and the letter will be framed. ROCK ISLAND NOTES. St. Louis, July 11. Henry Morris, audi tor of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado line, and his clerical staff, left the Seourlty building this week for Chi cago. In future the au.liting department of the Colorado line will be located at the headquarters of the Chicago, Rock Is land and Pacific in Chicago. The other departments will remain in St. Louis. By the time the Rock Island's Kansas City St. Louis line is completed the St. Louis offices of the Rock Island system will have been located under one roof in the center of town. Probably the lower floor of the Century building will be selected for this purpose. The passenger and freight departments are already there on the ground floor. H. H. Embry general freight agent of the Rock Island, now at Topeka, but soon to remove to Kansas City, was in Kansas City yesterday on business in connection with the transfer of the freight offices from the Kansas capital to the mouth of the Kaw. In regard to the movement started by the Topeka Commercial club to keep the Rock Island freight offices in that city, Mr. Embry said: "While we would like to please the Com mercial club of Topeka, I fear that the matter has progressed too far for their ef forts to be of any avail. While we have never had any complaint to make regard ing our treatment in Topeka, Kansas City has been about the best station on our line, outside of Chicago, and It will be better than it is now, and for that reas on it is only natural that the change should be made." It lsp announced that the offices will probably be moved next week or within two weeks. Kansas City, July 11. A committee of property owners from the West bottoms appeared before the finance committee of the lower house of the city council yester day afternoon to protest against the grant ing of the right to the Rock Island rail way to cross certain streets and run through certain alleys in the West bot toms, the proposed tracks to start at Fourteenth street north of the company's freight house and run north and east and end at Mulberry. The property own ers knew nothing of the attempted fran chise until they read of It last Sunday. They will fight any attempt now to use the alley, and If, necessary, will go to law. The finance committee promised yesterday to view the property and line of proposed tracks and will hear from the property owners again in two weeks. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE.'

The State Journal is member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon pubB eation In Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wres for this 01e pur pose, busy through the entire day. A complete copy of the night report ia also received. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day S any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. The floods set in as soon as congress passed an Irrigation bllL Investigation to ascertain who Is the most popular Democrat In the national party leads to the conclusion that there Isn't any. There appears to be a, disposition among Democrats to make James K Jones shoulder the responsibility along with William J. Bryan. Having spent $1,000,000 oi the pneu matic gun plant at Sandy Hook, the United States government has now sold out the whole equipment, gun and all, for 20,000. Kansas never loses out on anything. All the rain she misses one year she gets the next, or some time. The cool weather we didn't get last summer is here now. .There is not exactly a parity between the prices of a bushel of wheat and that of a bushel of corn at all times but they are staying close together. Just now wheat is lagging. The Democrats who are doing the hoarse hooting for harmony and reor ganization are mostly In the east. If they will try their system on New York and can carry the state this fall they may be able to obtain a hearing in other parts of the country. t Aguinaldo was discredited as a pat riot as soon as he quit bartering his patriotism for money. If he hasn't learned a lesson from his own experi ence, let consider tha case of General Gomez. The wily old West Indian has the glory, the money and all the rest of it. All discussion of Democracy's future 1s of little Value. It depends solely upon the south. Whatever the south decides upon, goes. Northern Demo crats may not agree with their south ern brethren but they do not dare to stand out. Without the solid south the party can do nothing. Detailed statistics' covering the flrst year's operations of the five free public employment bureaus in Connecticut show that 14,577 applications for em ployment were filed and that positions were secured for 7,886 persons. In other Words more than half of those who ap plied for Jobs got them, and the bureaus procured situations for more than 25 persons on the average for every secu lar day of the year. Indianapolis News: Now it Seems ;that the beet sugar senators are not happy. Elkins and the rest of them are busily engaged in making "explana tions" of their course with reference to Cuban reciprocity. No explanation can be made that will satisfy the peo ple. These senators simply stood in the way of the performance of a righteous act, and set themselves insolently against public opinion and the great majority of the Republican party in and out of congress. They have in flicted great suffering on the unfortu nate island of Cuba. They underesti mated the honesty. Intelligence and hu manity of the American people, as they are now learning to their surprise and chagrin. FROM CHICAGO TO THE OUXF From the Washington Post It is not improbable that prior to the completion of the isthmian canal Work will begin on the projected deep water channel from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico. It is an old project, having been discussed for more than fifty years. As long ago as 1847, when Chicago was a tiny infant and the development of the northwest had scarcely begun barge canal from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river was seriously consider ed. That was the seed from which the present grand scheme has grown. Chi cagro had this stupendous enterprise in mind when it expended $33,000,000 on a drainage canal. Mr. Lorimer, in a re cent speech in Chicago, said: "For $25, 000,000 we can connect the drainage canal with the Illinois river, and through this waterway and the Mississippi rivet have a direct connection with the ocean. The Mississippi River valley is the richest in the world, and such a water way would make Chicago in fifty years the financial center of the world." Does that sound extravagant? Would such development of Chicago be more marvelous than what has already been accomplished? Take the history of that city and the corresponding and contrib utory growth of the northwest for the past sixty years, and you will find therein ample warrant for a strong sus picion that Mr. Larimer's forecast is not all a dream. Of course there are interests, and they are powerful, that will fight this project with intense hostility, but if the people of the Mississippi Valley agree upon it they can carry it through con gress. The west is the dominant section. A ship channel from Chicago to the sea is an item in manifest destiny. It could scarcely be more inimical to New York's Interests if it took the western than if it followed the eastern route. And New York learned years ago that Chicago was her superior in competing for na tional legislation. QUAKER REFLECTIONS; From the Philadelphia Record. A genius Is a man who feels that he was born before bis time. The name on an umbrella is not a sure means of identification. Don't envy the successful bluffer. He isn't as happy as he looks. It isn't always the haughty mail who refuses to meet his obligations. After ail the shady side of the street is a pretty good summer resort.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. There's a lot Of insomnia concealed in one little innocent-looking fly. The champion crow eater is the man who is at the head of the boaster class. Every time a man blows himself he comes out at tne little end or tne norn. Sooner or later the weak man nnas himself up to his neck in the slough of despair. Some men return thanks before eat ing and then proceed to jaw about the cooking. A man may have plenty of money and still be unhappy, but it is better to be unhappy with money than without it. A pessimist says it is impossible to look an honest man in the face owing to the fact that tie is never Were, When prosperity gives way to adver sity the average man takes a back seat and turns the management over to his wife.

Weight of Responsibility Leads Naval Captain to Suicide. London, July 11. Too great wealth seems to have been the immediate cause of the suicide of Sebastian Oassiot, a retired captain of the Royal Navy. A brother of Captain Qaseoit who died recently be queathed 500,000 2,500,00O)to St. Thomas hospital, and at the inquest just held it transpired that the captain inherited 400,000 ($2,000,000) of his brother's money He therefore became depressed by the weight of his responsibility and imbued with the delusion that he was exceeding. ly poor. Finall the captain shot himself at his residence July 8. Tn his hand was discovered a paragraph from a newspaper referring to his brother s bequest to the hospital and the will which bad been such a source of trouble. Card of Thanks.

Hamilton, of New York, secre tary of the American Beet Sugar com pany, and one of the men who was in strumental in securing the defeat of the Cuban reciprocity measure at the recent session of congress, was in Topeka to day on his way to California, where the mills of the beet sugar company are about to open up for the summer's -campaign." Mr. Hamilton came in at 12:55 via the Santa Fe. and was accom panied by C. L. Seagraves. the travel ing passenger agent of the Santa Fe roaa. Naturally. Mr. Hamilton is an enthus iastic supporter of Senator J. Ralph Burton. Speaking of Senator Burton, he said; "Senator Burton is one of the biggest men in the United States senate. You people out here in Kansas don't half appreciate him. He did splendid' ser vice for the interests of the beet sugar industry. They tried to open the doors. and let the cheap labor of Cuba come into competition with American labo" and we beat them. I tell you that if the Cuban reciprocity bill had passed as proposed, it would have busted the sugar beet industry wide open. It wouia nave put the sugar beet com panies clear out of business." When asked by a reporter for the State Journal to give his views on the prospects of Kansas as a sugar produc ing state, Mr. Hamilton said: "You ought to have 25 factories In Kansas. You can raise sugar beets here as wen as anywhere in the country. Of course we can be more certain as to what we can do in the way of erecting mills when we know the results of our tests of sugar beet growing which are in progress at Wichita. The probability is that they will not show such a large per cent of sugar as they would ha4 these rains come 'a little later in the season. That is when the sugar beets take on their sugar. The advantage of raising beets is that the farmer knows beforehand exactly what he is going to get for his crop. If he has a big crop he maskes Just as much per ton as he does on a small crop." Mr. Hamilton is accompanied to Cali fornia by his daughter. They will stay in California for several months. TRIMMING CANAL TREATY. Kany Seemingly Antagonistic Point Need Harmonizing. Washington, July!!. With the excep tion of signing the treaty by which Co lombia will confer all the necessary rights incident to the building of the Nica ragua canal by the u. S. government, Se nor Concha, the Colombian minister, Mr. H err an, first secretary of legation, and William Nelson Cromwell, representing tne Panama canal and railroad companies, are busily engaged in going over new points in the treaty, which must be mod ified before the instrument can be signed. Neither the state department nor the Colombian officials here care to disclose the nature of the modifications which It has now become necessary to make in the treaty, but it Is understood that all of them, either directly or Indirectly, Involve the question of sovereignty. The close study now In progress of the isthmian canal act and the treaty adopted by the Colombian government, discloses apparently Important differences and ob scurities In the letter of the documents. which may not, however, exist In their spirit. For instance, section 2 of the canal act authorizes the president to acquire from Colombia "perpetual control of a strip of land which control shall include Jurisdiction over said strip and the ports at the ends thereof, to make such police and sanitary rules and regulations shall be necessary to preserve order and preserve the public health thereon and to establish such judicial tribunals as maybe agreed thereupon as may be necessary to enforce such rules and regulations." From 'this portion of the act it would appear that the U. S. alone is to make po lice and sanitary regulations for the ca nal strip and establish judicial tribunals for their enforcement. Yet article 3 of the draft of the canal treaty provides for the creation of "a joint commission by the governments of Colombia and the IT. S. that shall establish and enforce sani tary and police regulations." Article 4 of the treaty deals specifically with the question of sovereignty as fol lows: "The rights and privileges granted to the U. S. by the terms of this convention shall not affect the sovereignty of the re public of Colombia over the territory within whose boundaries such rights and privileges are to be exercised. "The U. S. freely acknowledges and re cognizes this sovereignty and disavows any intention to impair it in any way whatever r to increase its territory at the expense of Colombia or of any sister republics of Central or South Amer ica, but, on the contrary, it desires to strengthen the power of the republics on this continent and then promote, develop and maintain their prosperity and inde pendence." Briefly summed up, it appears to be the task now before the parties to the pro posed convention to define with absolute certainty the extent and limits of the con trol or joint contiol to be exercised over the canal strip. For while control is not sovereignty, in the common acceptance of the term, yet In qractice the two often merge so closely as to defeat identification and it has all along been recognized that any provision of the treaty which threatens in any measure the sovereignty of th; South American republic over the canal land will not be acceptable to the Colom bian congress. Mr. Concha has been in poo." health during the spring and summer an I con templates a journey out of town to re cuperate. It Is confidently hoped that the treaty may be signed before his departure. COMES TO TOPEKA. Western Office of Correspondence Schools Moved Here. The western office of the Internatlon al Correspondence School of Scranton, Pa., has been moved from Omaha to Topeka. A. F. Frankie, supervisor of the west ern department, is in Topeka today pre paring to move the headquarters here. R. J. Mills, assistant superintendent, will come here from Leavenworth.

The General Is Enthusiastically Welcomed to Peoria. Peoria, Ilk, July 11. Oen. Lloyd Wh ea ten, accompanied by- Captains Bash and Howlands, aides on his staff, arrived here at noon today and was met at the depot by a distinguished group of Citizens and military men. Mrs. Wheaton and Miss Lucille Dent, a niece Of Mrs. TJ. 8. Grant, also accompanied him. The party was escorted to the National hotel where luncheon was served.

DEMOCRATS TO CAUCUS Will Select Delegates to a Coun ty Convention. Ward caucuses will be held this even ing by the Democrats to elect delegates to the Democratic county convention which will occur on July 19. The plan is for one caucus to be held in each ward, at which each precinct will get off in a corner by itself and pick out its men. It is safe to guess that the delegates elected will not have to be instructed to vote against the indorsing of the in dependent nomination of Frank Stahl for sheriff. The question of whether or not Stebbins for county attorney will be indorsed is still open. A well known Democratic leader in city politics said today: "We will either nominate a full Dem ocratic ticket at our convention, or nominate the officials we desire to nom inate and leave the rest of the ticket blank for the Populists to fill."

Plan to Improve Highway to Gage Park. H. W.

The cost of the improvement will be about $12,000, and the county Is asked to bear half the expense. The brick compan ies having their kilns west of town are very anxious to have the road built, aa it will greatly facilitate the marketing of their product in Topeka. The plan is to build the brick road of two courses of brick on sand foundation, with curbing of three inch timbers, set flush with the surface of the pavement. This will make it possible to drive off the the pavement onto the dirt road at any point. The pavement, If built, will in all prob ability be connected before long by ma cadam road with the macadam road which la being built to the Reform school on the north side of the river.' This would give a continuous drive of six miles around the circle. HUNDREDS HOMELESS. Des Moines Flood Sufferers Spend Night in Open Air. Des Moines. Ia., July 11. Hundreds of homeless flood sufferers spent the night in school house yards and in downtown parks without so much as a blanket to cover them. Some had to beg for food, although every possible effort is being taken to pro vide for them. The charitable societies and city officials are becoming better organ ized today and it is believed the wants will be generally met. The smallpox hos pital and the city hall and jail have been filled with cots. These can accommodate but a small portion of those who need shelter, however, and tents are being dia- tnoutea. Neither the TVs Moines nor the Raccoon rivers have receded perceptibly. The net decline since the highest point was reached yesterday is but two or three inches and the Des Moines river actually rose half an Inch during the night. It is believed the situation in the flooded district can not be materially relieved for several days and that when the water finally reaches its former channel an epidemic of malaria ana typnoia lever wui prevau. An estimate nf the damaae at this time la practically impossible. It is expected to reacn a million aouars. ME. CRITTENTON HERE. Man Who Establishes Homes Por Fallen Women Speaks.

Crittenton, the wealthy New York druggist and founder of the Florence Crittenton rescue home work for way ward girls. Mr. Crittenton's talk was an earnest exhortation to the Christian people to be more persistent in their ef forts to accomplish good. Speaking of the indifference with which adherents of the churches tried to bring others into touch with religious atmosphere Mr. Crittenton said among other things: "I think you will find the business men of Topeka more neglect ed than any other class. The average business man is never spoken to about his soul in his place of business. In all the -SO years of my business life in New York no one ever came Into my office to talk to me about the welfare of my souL" Mr. Crittenton appears to have lost some of his power, physically, since he appeared in Kansas a few yeaBaW ago. but his energy and earnestness have not flagged In the least. He speaks with a vehemence and emphasis that keeps his audience completely absorbed in what he is saying. His reference to his re ligious conversion In New York near ly 20 years ago, after he had buried his little daughter is particularly touching and always produces a noticeable effect on a congregation. Mr. Crittenton is now on a tour of in spection of the western homes, coming indirectly from Youngstown.Ohio, where one was established last week He has been in Kansas City a few days and will go from here to Denver. Salt Lake and later to Seattle, Wn. There are 56 of these institutions in America, oae In Japan and one in China.

Edward and Emily Ho! lis of Junction City have brought suit for $12,500 damages against the Union Pacific Railroad company, the Pullman Palace Car company and Conductor John Walker. The plaintiffs, as parents of the late Rupert Hollis, say that their son was forced from a Pullman car on a Union Pacific train at 2 a. m. March 3, 1902, at Cheyenne Wells, Colo., and that his brother, Gordon F. B. Hollis, who ac companied him, was not allowed to take him into the Union Pacific waiting room, which was warm, but had to place his sick brother in a cold bag gage room, where he died at 10 o'clock on the morning of the same day. The plaintiffs are of the opinion that had he been brought home he would have lived some time. For all this Mr. and Mrs. Hollis sue for damages amounting to $7,500. In addition to this, Gordon F. B. Hol lis filed a suit against the same parties asking for damages amounting to $5,000 for being ejected from the train after he had purchased a first class ticket and for grief in seeing his brother die unsurrounded by comforts when he might have arrived home and been at tended by his parents. The weather was bad and very cold. He could pro cure no coffin and had to build one of pine lumber and then had difficulty in securing transportation for the re mains. Marshall's Programme.

Cracked wheat and similar preparations followed. The whole pop ulation began eating mush. Result: Amylaceous dyspepsia, universal sour stomach, constipation, disordered livers, thin blood, weak muscles and nerves, brain fag and nervous exhaustion. The remedy lies in replacing these starchy foods with Toasted Wheat Flakes, sweetened with Malt Honey. Each ap petizing flake is crisp delicate brown, thoroughly cooked and toasted. The starch of the wheat is converted into dextrine, thus making it immediately digestible and a godsend to those who cannot digest starchy foods. Toasted Wheat Flakes are ready to serve at once without further cooking and are delicately delicious. Every package bears a picture of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.

His keynote was: "The best way to be for Roosevelt in 1904 Is to be for his policies in 1902. There were present in Hutchinson not only the members of the congressional committee, but a good many "visiting statesmen" as well. State Treasurer Orimes was one of these. He belongs in the Seventh district but not in the Long crowd. Henry Allen was also there as a visitor. Among others were State Chairman Morton Albaugh, J. M. Simp eon, Senator Burton's appointee as in ternal revenue collector; H. F. Mason, candidate for supreme Justice; State Printer W. Y. Morgan, A. A. Richards and others. The meeting was supposed to be for the purpose of mapping out the con gressional campaign, but it was really or the purpose of allowing the Seventh 'istrict politicians to visit their con gressman, as he will largely plan his own campaign. Mr. Long-said: "It will be my purpose to speak in every county in the district, as has been my custom, and I would like to begin my campaign in the western part of the state as early in August as possi ble. I shall not make my campaign on a single issue. The Republican part lias never been a single issue party. I ehall base my campaign on the record of the last congress. I shall pay much attention to the measures enacted at the session that has just closed and considerable attention to some legisla tion that has failed of enactment." He then reviewed the struggle in the last congress over reciprocity for Cuba. He told how it had all been fought out, first in the ways and means committee of the house and finally in Republican conferences. "After the greatest contest in the party since the civil war, finally in the fifth conference," he said, "the resolu tion was adopted which passed the house, but failed of passage in the senate. "Our state convention in Wichita de clared unequivocally for reciprocal trade relations with Cuba. So far as I am concerned, my campaign will be made squarely on that platform. There will be no faltering, no equivocation, no hesitation. It will be without person alities and without regard to the opin ions of other persons on the question." Cheers and hand clapping greeted this declaration. After a review of what congress had done, Mr. Long returned to the reci procity question. "A situation arose in the senate," he said, "that was without precedent and which was entirely un expected, which blocked legislation on the subject for the session, but it will not prevent the legislation finally giving reciprocity with Cuba. Some of you may have read President Roosevelt's Pitts burg speech in which he said reciproc ity is as sure as fate.' It is as sure as fate and I believe that Kansas is with President Roosevelt In this matter. "The best way to be for Roosevelt in 1904 is to support his policies in 1902. If the Republican party confesses that re ciprocity is too big a question for it to settle, it will matter little who is the candidate in 1904. The Republican party is a party of action, and it will remain in power only as long as it is able to perform. I believe it will per form in this matter at the next session of congress. I know it will, and I be lieve Kansas will do its part in uphold ing the hands of President Roosevelt." Mr. Long went to his home at Medi cine Lodge today. The Riley county Republican conven tion was held yesterday afternoon. That Sam Kimble is now entirely within the Republican fold is proven by the fact that the convention allowed him to se lect the Riley county delegates to the Judicial convention in that district, which will be held at Marysville next month. Judge Kimble has been a Dem ocrat all his life. In 1896 he was one of the leaders of the gold standard Democ racy in Kansas. Since then he has been gradually assimilating Republicanism until Governor Stanley appointed him district judge a year ago. Now he is a thorough Republican. The convention made known its desire to Senator Burton as to his course re garding Cuban reciprocity in the follow ing language: "We demand of Senator Burton, whose home is in this district, to vote for and stand by the reciprocity policy of President Roosevelt." The full resolution was as follows: "We give our hearty approval to the wise and manly course pursued by President Roosevelt since the hour when he was called to the chief executive's chair by the sad removal from that position of William McKinley, thi country's foremost citizen and most kindly and judicious friend. We strong ly; endorse the vigorous course of re straint carried by President Roosevelt against the trusts and calling for the enactment or more effective laws by congress at its next session. We are in full sympathy with his unflinchine demand for an honorable discharge for the pledges made to the Cuban republic. and for such generous treatment of that country through reciprocal trade arrangements as shall provide relief during its period of recuperation and at the same time bring great commer cial advantages to the United States. And whereas Senator Burton has re quested the people to advise him as to their wishes, now, therefore, be it re. eolved: That we demand of Senator Burton, whose home is in this district to vote for and stand by the reciprocity policy of President Roosevelt." F. M. Emmons was renominated for the legislature without opposition. He is not committed on the senatorial ques tion, but the sentiment of his county is divided between Stanley and Long. The balance of the county ticket is as fol lows: For treasurer, J. C. Christensen' for county attorney, R. J. Brock; fof register of deeds, M. M. Davis: for sud erintendent of public instruction, C. G Swingle; for sheriff, L. C. Boyle: fol county clerk, C. M. Breese; for clerk of the district court, R. B. Spllman; for Burveyor, J. W. Paul; for coroner, J. D. Colt. J. I Brady has announced himself as an Independent candidate for the legis lature in uougias county against speak er Barker. In reviewing the legislative situation down there Mr. Brady says in His paper, the Lawrence World: "Judge Smart has decided that in his judgment there is no way to correct an error in the Republican party. Accord ing to the judge the only thing to do when a mistake occurs Is either to take your medicine or settle it at the polls We prefer the latter method. "The writer has made every effort to have a peaceable adjustment of the trouble. We have applied to every place where relief could be hoped for. We have made proposition after proposition but Mr. Barker is determined not only to hold the nomination to which he is not entitled but to prevent an investi gation as well. "So far not a single one of the conten tions of the writer have been met. Ev ery effort has been made to prevent get ting at the truth of the charges. On the other hand we have presented un disputable evidence that a mistake has been made. "All we asked was an honest inves tigation. We made three propositions to Mr. Barker. First, we were to select one man, he one and they the third, and the decision of two of them to be accepted as final. Second, the primary in the First ward to be held over again Third, the primary in the district to b held over again. In the last two propo sitions the voting is to be under the Australian ballot and the writer is to bear the entire expense. "Could anything be fairer? 'To meet this Mr. Barker takes the ground that the primary is over, th convention has adjourned, and that If there was a mistake it is too late to remedy it. "Is that fair?" "It is not an answer that Mr. Barker did not knew this mistake had been made. In this contention he cited the case of Rosenthal and yet in that very case Mr. Stubbs stepped down and out without a contest, and Mr. Rosenthal was seated. Before the public the case was an unfor tunate citation. "This World is sorry to see Mr. Barker close a long and honorable career by hold ing to the nomination that belongs to an other simply because the law is so framed that justice can not be reached. "There is only one course open and that is to appeal to the people. Mr. Barker is not the Republican nominee. Ir. his cam paign he is as much of a maverick as if he were running independently. No Repub lican is under the slightest obligation to support him. We do not charge that he was a party to this original mistake. In fact we have every reason to believe he was not, but we submit that he can not afford to take advantage of it now that his attention has been called to it re peatedly. "It is up to the people. Let them decide At present there is no Republican candi date for representative from the Thir teenth district and it does not look as if there would be." GOOD FOR GALVESTON.

He Came to New Tork to Consult an Eye Specialist. New Tork. July 11. A peculiar case of deportation, involving the denial of the right of a patient with an incurable mal ady to land in this country for the pur pose of consulting a specialist, is that in volved in the compulsory departure ot Guillomo Sangerius, a wealthy Spaniard of Havana. Senor Saneerlus arrived here from Cuba June 7. A physician of the United States Marine hospital service, detailed to the im migration service, boarded the steamer af ter sne naa passea quarantine inspection. He noticed that Senor Sangerius had trachoma, a disease of the eye. and order ed him isolated in the United States Ma rine hospital for aliens. Senor Sangerius protested and explained that he had come here for the purpose of consulting the most noted specialists of this country. He appealed to the human ity of the physicians, but they told him that they could only obey the law. Senor Sangerius boarded a returning steamer under srotest. HELP MARKET RAW SPUDS. Frisco Puts in Low Potato Kates to Southern Points. The Frisco has announced that it will put in a proportional rate, on potatoes in carloads from points on the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific in the Kaw valley via Kansas City, to Memphis on ship ments destined to southeastern and Caro lina territories. The proportional rate Is made, Frisco officials say, to put the po tato growers of the Kaw bottoms as near ly as possible on an equality with those of the American bottoms, near St. Louis, for southeastern business. Under the old rate the differential in favor of the St.. Louis shipper has been 12 cents, but this is reduced under the proportional rate to 7 cents. Shot Her Baby Sister. Hutchinson, Kan., July 11. Agnes Ballard, 3 years old, lies dead at her father's home as the result of the acci dental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of her 13-year-old sister. One- half of her head was shot entirely away. The gun had been used a little while before by the little girl's father to kill a skunk which had infested the neigh borhood. He had handed it to his son, with directions to withdraw the shells. The boy took out the exploded shell, but the other stuck in the barrel. After working at It a while he set it beside the kitchen stove, with the breech onei and went to his work at the stock vards near Dy. ine motner asked Lucy to lake it in the other room, and in 30 doing the child snapped the breech to the loaded shell. The shell had evi dently been pried part way out and tne closing of the breech discharged it, the shot striking the baby sister, who sat playing on the floor. The child died instantly. Low Bid For the Grant, San Francisco, July 11. Major Devol. general superintendent of the army trans port service, has opened bids for the. pur chase of the Grant. He states that all the offers were much below the value of the steamship and it is likely that the war department will refuse to dispose of her at present. The highest bid was 151.000. The government paid $660,000 for the trans port. She has been in the service since 1898. A considerable amount of money has been paid out in repairs and now a full set of new boilers Is needed. It was con sidered that it would be more economical to sell her than to make such extensive repairs. Suspended Chief Reinstated. New Tork, July IL After a trial last ing until early today.

London, July lL At Buckingham pal ace the following bulletin was posted at 10 o'clock this morning: The king continues to sleep well and to improve in every respect. LIKE A PHANTOM. Continued from First Page. nearly all the time watching for his pursuers. He left the house after dark headed either for Seattle or the Palmer cutoff. Not only did Tracy force John son to buy the revolver, but he made him borrow the necessary money in Kent. Johnson went to Tacoma and se cured the weapon without sounding any Kind or warning to the authorities. He was badly frightened. Tracy seems to nave a predilection for people named Johnson. He made Louis B Johnson of Bothell drive him from that place to Woodland park after he had killed Deputy Sheriff Raymond at Wayne. At Fort Madison he entered the home of John Johnson and decamped with An derson, the hired man and after leaving the Gerrell's home at Renton be fled to the house of Kent Johnson. That the murderer is becoming anx ious for his safety was shown by his conduct at the home of E. M. Johnson. He seemed to realize that his exploit at. Renton had reached the limit. His gaiety has been replaced by the nerv ous excitement of a man near the end of his rope. At times he acted like one at bay. His audacious carelessness has given way. to apprehension and watch fulness. Tracy arrived at the home of Johnson at 6 o'clock Wednesday morning and at the point of a revolver forced Johnson to cook him breakfast After finishing the meal he told Johnson to go to Ta coma and purchase two 45 calibre Colt revolvers and 100 rounds of ammunition with the threat that if he gave infor mation to the authorities of that place he "would murder the entire family. Johnson left Kent on the 7 o'clock train. returned at 4 o clock. While he was absent from Kent Tracy remained in the vicinity of the home and appeared to be uneasy as if expecting a visit from the officers. Several times he went to the top of a small hill in the rear of the Johnson home and viewed the sur rounding country. Upon the return of Johnson from Ta coma Tracy ordered Mrs. Johnson to cook him enough provisions to last a week. She boiled two dozen eggs, fried bacon and gave him an extra large supply of sugar and flour. Tracy compelled the members of the family to remain on the premises until the return of Johnson from iacoraa. He did not leave the house until after dark. Usually Tracy has engaged in bits of repartee with members of the families he has held up. This time he appeared to be excited and according to Johnson seemed very much worried. Tracy said very little during his stay at the Johnson home. Outside his de mands for food and the instructions he gave Johnson regarding the kind of re volvers to purchase he did not attempt bers of the family. In several homes the outlaw has shown a fondness for children. At Johnson's he paid no at tention whatever to them and spent his time in observing persons who passed the house. Johnson has left his home and re fuses to return until Tracy has been heard from. He is fearful the convict will return and carry out his threat. Johnson has read the newspaper ac counts or tne desperado s acts about Seattle. He describes him perfectly and Sheriff Cudihee says the clothing he is now wearing is the same he had on at the Gerrell home at Renton. Sheriff Cudihee was in conversation with John son for some time. He procured a good description of the outlaw and also of the firearms he has in his possession. He is certain that the officers were on a false ichase to Greeh lake Wednesday nignt, put is unable to account for the unknown man who visited the Hillman home. Johnson spoke English ooorlv and it was witn great aimculty Sheriff Cudl hee obtained the facts necessary. He believes Johnson is tellinsr a true storv and is thoroughly convinced it was xracy who was at the place and not a confederate to throw the officers off the track. The fact that the man UDon first entering the house announced he was Tracy is evidence that the whereabouts of the convict has been established to a certainty. He proceeded as he has done hereto fore by ordering the family not to leave tne room and then demanding some thing to eat. He told me he was Tracv when he came through the front door with his rtne in his hand," said Johnson. "He first demanded something to eat. After my wife had cooked him his breakfast ne told me he wanted firearms and ammunition. He eavp m tn nnrter- stand that his gun was loaded, and that ii i aia not go to Tacoma and procure him two 45-calibre revolvers and 100 rounds of ammunition he would murder my wire and children. T told hi T did not have the money. He then said tnat l naa better go up to Kent and borrow it, and then get the first train ior uacoma. I was afraid that if 1 did not do as I was told he would kill my family, and I hurried to Kent and secured some money from a friend and took the 7 o'clock train. In Tacoma I found I had only enough money to buy one gun. I returned to Kent about 4 o clock. When I reached home I found that my wife was in a state nf nT-vm collapse from fright. I gave Tracy the sun una ammunition and he seemed pieasea. "Shortly after mv arrival ho a train ordered my wife to cook him a supply ui iuuu to last a week. He remained about the house until dark and then took his departure down the road on one of my horses. I found the animal today. It was dark and I can not say which way he went. Once he asked the easiest way to reach Seat tle. He spoke about Auburn. He an- peared to be very uneasv and after T returned made several trips Into the yara ana looked about to see if any Mr- son was approaching. j?Tom nis actions I believe he thought he was being pursued. During the afternoon he took up a position on a hill just in the rear of my house and watched the road. He seemed tn he completely exhausted, and I don't think he has had any sleep since he left Se attle ana vicinity. "I often wanted to attack him while he was at the house, but was afraid he would kill some members of my fam ily if I did so. He did not give me an opportunity to get noid of his rifle, be sides the gun I bought for him he hail his rifle and an old gun with a. black stock. It looked like an army revolver. He told me it was not very much good and he wanted to get rid of it. He carried a revolver in each hip pocket when he left the house and his rifle un der his arm. His coat, vest and trousers are black, tne trousers beiner ton short "When Tracy first came to the house and stated who he was my wife and I toia mm we would do anything he ask ed us. He did not seem to pay attention to anything we said but begun to give orders. I am so afraid that he will pay a second visit to our house that I have deserted it and will not return until he nas been located." The town of Ken: is alive with rumors of all kinds regarding Tracy's destination. Numerous citizens have volunteered to join the posses in search of the murder. Armed men are annear- ing on the streets and great excitement prevails. Sheriff Cudihee has left for Anhurn and will attempt.to head Tracy off. If ne nas not returned to Seattle, Cudihee believes his destination Is the Palmer cut off. Cudihee has .also learned that jonnson maae one statement to the ef- xect tnat xracy said he had been sur- 1 1 M'l ll'M"l 111111111 THE MULLS DRY G0PS FOR.

Missouri Pacific opened wide on the purchase of 4, 000 shares at 111 to 112, compared with 111 last night and St. Paul rose a point on the taking of 1,500 shares U. S. Steel opened unchanged, with the transfer of 2,000 shares and the purchase of another 2,000 shares lifted it point. Louisville, Rock Island and North American rose 1 to 1 points. There were 4,000 shares of Sugar sold at 130 to 129, compared with 130. for the last price last night. Realizing orders met the opening bulge in St. Paul and Missouri Pacific and they reacted sharply. Sugar also sagged to 128 and Amalgamated Copper became heavy. The general market was not much affected by these declines and hardened again when Rock Island and the local stocks were bid up. Rock Island rose 3 points, to 185, and B. R. T., Metropolitan and Consolidated Gas a point. Virginia Carolina Chemical. Colorado Southern, General Electric and Tennessee Coal ad vanced 1 point and New York Air Brake and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis 2 points. The short interest took Sugar readily on the break and their buying forced a rally to 130 at 11 o'clock. Sugar reached 130 and then sagged to 128, pulling the general list down. Deal ings in this stock were on- a large scale and its erratic course repressed the ac tivity elsewhere. Louisville was marked up to near 142. Des Moines and Fort Dodge and Fuller Construction and Chi cago Union Traction rose 1 to 2 points. Reading was active for a time and made a slight improvement. Fluctuations in the feneral market were narrow. Missouri acific rebounded to about 112 before noon. Bonds were irregular. After touching 138, Sugar rallied a point. Missouri Pacific rose to 112 before the general market continued to sag. St. Paul fell below last night and some less active railroad stocks showed small losses. Chesapeake and Ohio and Lake Erie and Western lost a point. Ineffectual efforts were made to rally the list by bidding up special stocks. Rock Island spurted to 185 without help, and the western stocks and southwesterns did not reflect Missouri Pacific's strong rise. s Range of Prices on Stock.

A description had been Issued by the girl's father, who came to Topekat several days ago In search of her, and gave up the search after three daysy He --went to St. Joe, where the family had formerly lived, hoping that she had returned to that city. When Miss Williams was interviewed by the. officers this morning she said that she was the person wanted, and that she left home because she detested farm life.

Postmaster John Guthrie, of Topeka, has received the following letter from Traverse City, Mich., telling of the des titute condition of two Topeka children who arc homeless in that city: "Postmaster, Topeka: If possible can you find a man in that city by the name of Fred W. Wright. I do not know his number. Tell him his children are here utterly destitute. Their mother has no place for herself, and she is not a per son to have control of the children. I have had the children since. Saturday. Have their father take them or support them. If he does not I do not know -what will become of them. If he had seen his little girl crying at 10 o'clock last night for a place to stay and her mother, he would send for them at once if he cares- for them. I believe he does and he should at once provide a place for the children away from their mother and another person who is also not fit to have charge of them. They want to stay with me.

Traverse City, Mich." REIGN OF THE CUCUMBER. Topeka Has More Than It Knows What to Do Witn. Shawnee county cucumber farmers are harvesting the biggest crop of cu cumbers in the history of the county. It is estimated that over 60,000 bushels of cucumbers will be the total product, which will bring to the farmers a reve nue of about 50 cents a bushel, or a total of $30,000. The yield averages 250 bushels to the acre. Most of the product is being handled at the Kuehne pickle factory in North Topeka. So fast are the cucumbers be ing brought in that it has been found necessary to build about 20 huge vats, 12 feet deep and 12 feet in diameter, in which the cucumbers are salted down to be worked up into pickles later on when the rush is over. More vats are being built at the rate of one a day. and this will continue until the harvest is over. Besides the vast quantities of cucum bers which will be used to make pickles, the farmers have glutted the Topeka vegetable markets with cucumbers. The blearest cucumbers can be bought for a cent apiece, or almost anything which the customer is willing to pay. It don't cost much to get the cholera morbus this season. There are between 50 and 100 farmers in the county who raise cucumbers for the market.' There are about 225 acres under cultivation, and the crop is run ning from 200 to 300 bushels per acre, the average being about 250 bushels. This is about Ave wagon loads. The largest cucumber patch is 10 acres, and it will yield its owner at least $1,250 this year. This is about as good as raising sugar beets In Colorado, as far as the net revenue per. acre is con. cerned. The cause of the extraordinary crop of cucumbers this year is the wet weath er. It has been throughout an ex ceptionally good season for cucumbers. Usually the trouble la that the season ia too dry. This year everything seems to have been made to order for the pur pose of raising cucumbers. A man who is engaged in the cucumber business said today to a reporter for the State Journal: "A person not in the business would not believe that cucumbers could grow as fast as they are growing. A cucum ber the size of one joint of a person's little finger will in one night grow to be three inches long. The cucumber which we sell to the factory for making pickles must be less than four inches long. It requires the constant picking of two men to every three aeres to keep the vines clean. The vines have to be gone over thoroughly every day. We never bad anything like such a "crop of cucumbers before as .we have this year. The people who contracted to raise cucumbers will make a good bit of money. The contracts given by Otto Kuehne set the price at 50 cents a bush el, and we are rushing the cucumbers to' the factory as fast as they get to be the proper size." Hock Island Is Admitted, New Tork, July 11. A conference of representatives of western railroads in terested in the Terminal Railroad as sociation of St. Louis was held in this cit this week in the general office of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad com pany in Wall street.

MILWAUKEE TO EXTEND. About to Make Good Its Threat to Build to the Coast Chicago, July 11. -The Tribune says: Everything indicates an intention on the part of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway to make good its threat to extend its line to the Pacific coast unless proper consideration is given to it by the Great North western systems concerned in the recent mer ger. The management of the road ha provided $20,000,600 for such an exten sion, and its construction forces are now in the field. When the St. .Paul received what it did not -consider fair treatment from the lines abottfcio become merged it announced its intension of building its own lines into the northwest. The an nouncement Is understood to have been considered nothing more than a threat by its competitors and little considera tion was given it. In the meantime the St. Paul went to work and provided the means, which was not a difficult thing for a road in its financial condition to do. Engineers were sent into the northwest and active preparations made for the carrying out of its plans for an extension to the Puget Sound country. And now it is said that the survey has been completed from Evarts to Boulder, Mont., and from Boulder through the Rocky moun tains to Seattle. 4t 4 i i sf BRUTAL CARTOONS Cause 111 Feeling Toward Germany in England. Berlin, July 11. The government officials here are taking cognizance of the ill feel ing in Great Britain toward Germany caused by the brutal cartoons and pleas antries on King Edward's illness. The North German Gazette reproduces an ar ticle severely censuring the comic papers for their malevolence in the treatment of foreign politics, saying that millions 1 of Germans take their view of foreign affairs from the illustrated papers in cafes and beer gardens. These form so much more a feature of German life here than elsewhere that millions of citizens get their only im pressions of events and persons from the cartoons, hence the enormous influence of the comic press of Germany. The foreign office has been showing un usual sensitiveness over what is printed In England about Germany. Before the British ambassador, Sir Frank C.

The Amatenr Philosopher. One reason perhaps why the summer widower is more constant than the other kind is that the latter doesn't get any of those "please remit" reminders of his loneliness and sorrow. As a rule the greater roue a poli tician is the more liberally he quotes the Bible in his speeches and tells how much he thinks of his wife. Some of the Topeka summer men are calling their Norfolk suits 'tub gowns." v The girl who has to stay at home with a town full of men and very little com petition has no reason to envy the girls at the summer resorts which are overrun with femininity and with noth ing in the way of a man between de crepit invalids and youths just out of swaddling clothes.

The following is a Washington dis patch to the Chicago Tribune: In the dying hours of the late session of congress, when minor legislation was not enacted with too much care, a reso lution was introduced in the senate and passed by that body authorizing the ap pointment of a sub-committee of the committee on Pacific islands to visit Hawaii between now and next Decem ber for the purpose of investigating in dustrial and commercial conditions there. The resolution was introduced by Sen ator Mitchell of Oregon at the request of Senator Burton of Kansas. Mr. Mitchell said he was not interested in the matter, but was willing to accom modate Mr. Burton. The Kansas sena tor explained that he did not wish to introduce the resolution because he ex pected to ask for appointment on the subcommittee and he thought the thing would be too patent, if he should pro-' pose a junket for himself. After the passage of the resolution Senator Frye, president pro tempore of the senate, named for the Hawaiian junket Mitchell of Oregon, Foster of Washington, Burton of Kansas, Coek rell of Missouri, and Blackburn of Ken tucky. Since the adjournment of con gress it has appeared that at least two of the five members do not wish to make the trip and two others are, at the best, indifferent. They say there is no necessity for the proposed "investi gation" and that there is no sentiment in congress or elsewhere favorable to it. Senator Mitchell says he would not have introduced the resolution if he had known his appointment would follow, and he has almost refused to go. Sen ator Foraker, chairman of the full com mittee on Pacific islands, insisted, how ever, that since Mr. Mitchell was the nominal author of the resolution he must be appointed on the subcommittee. Mr. Mitchell said he had not supposed his resolution would pass the senate. Senator Cockrell refuses flatly to make the trip. Senator Foster wants to stay at home, and Senator Blackburn is in different. Senator Burton has led his colleagues to believe he will go, even if he has to go alone. He is interested in laying before congress the facts about the commercial conditions in the Ha waiian islands. The expenses of the trip will be paid out of the contingent fund of the senate.

New York, July 11. Although J. P. Morgan went to London Wednesday night, says a Paris dispatch to the New York American, the bourse, the clubs, the banks, the chamber of deputies, the senate, the fashionable cafes every place where men of money and those desirous of having it congregate still resound with the name of the American financier. The cause of the fresh outburst Is the belief that Mr. Morgan isr planning a financial scheme more far reaching than anything he has yet achieved. Rumor nas it that he is considering tne unin cation of the Turkish debt. No one here can speak with authority, but it is certain that Mr. Morgan has received long and important communications over the amount involved in this yet most momentous undertaking, because he who unifies this debt will hold Tur key in the hollow of his hand. The sultan knows this, hence he will not treat with the Deutsche bank, the Credit Lvonnaise or the Societe Generale. He thinks safer hands are those of the Americans, whose county can have no designs upon the ottoman empire. The German emperor is a good friend of Turkey and may have talked .over the matter with Mr. Morgan. The Ottoman debt is 1,100,000,000 francs. Turkey proposes to have 5 per cent bonds of 1886 converted into fours, payable not at 525 as now, but at 500; to contract for the construction of 14 ships from 500 to 1.500 tons, and will guarantee it by concessions on the Bosphorus. Preference will be given for the ex ploitation of the mines, the forests, the tramways, the waterways, and elec tricity and transports. During Mr. Morgan's stay of two days in .f aris his hotel lobby had been crowd' ed with picture dealers, sellers of Greek-Roman art works. He did not buy, however. ANDERSON'S TERSION. The General Makes Reply to Admiral Dewey's Testimony. Chicago, July ll.--General Thomas W. Anderson has addressed to the Record- Herald A letter giving his version of the surrender of Manila, in which he differs materially from the statements made by Admiral Dewey. General An derson's letter is in brief as follows: National Soldiers' Home. Erie County. Ohio, July To the Editors: Admiral Dewey is quoted as saying in his evi dence before the senate Philippine com mission that when Manila was surren dered it was in pursuance of a definite understanding between him and the Spanish governor general. In conclude ing his statement he said that his views did not coincide with those expressed by General Anderson In magazine ar tide, and closed his testimony by say' ing: "We differed very much from the be ginning." Admiral Dewey is a great naval offi cer. He did the state Kreat service. Yet. I must say, with all deference, that he is mistaken in his statement in relation to the surrender of Manila. So sincere is my regard for the admiral, that I would not make this assertion but for the fact that such statements, when uncontradicted pass into history. Several days, before the assault made on the 13th of August Father McKin non, the Catholicchaplain of the First California, was permitted to pass our lines and go into Manila. He saw the archbishop and the' governor general and when he returned he reported that the latter told him he could not and would not surrender without a fight, as ne nad to ngnt ror tne honor or Spain. Subsequently Gen. Merritt directed me to draw up the tactical order for the attack and this was done on the as sumption that there would be a bona fide resistance. In the attack and the preceding skirmishes we lost 122 killed and wounded.. If the city was surren dered as a result of a definite under standing, what was the understanding. and how definite was it? Was it that American soldiers were to be sacrificed for the honor of Spam? The admiral says we differed very much from the beginning. I hope our countrymen will believe that we differ ed very much about this. If there ever was such an understanding I did not now it and the army did not know it. The admiral is reported to have testified that the Spanish authorities offered to surrender to him the day he destroyed the Spanish squadron. No written proposals have come to light, and the probabilities are rnai ne was aeceivea Dy me misrep resentations of the foreign consuls, who were endeavoring by all means in their power to prevent a bombardment. I now learn for the first time that my correspondence with Aguinaldo was not approved by the admiral. Permit me to re mark that he had no occasion for a corre spondence. When he took possession of the Cavite navy yard he doubled the wages of several hundred Filipinos work ing there. That did not require any cor respondence. Nor did it require any cor respondence to Induce Aguinalilo to start his insurrection. It is not difficult to in duce men to do what they wish to do. I wrote some letters to Aguinaldo which seemed necessary at the time. He had ar rested some of our officers for entering the town of Cavite without his permission. He had forbidden his people to supply us with lighters to land our men and mater ials. We requested land transportation and he hid all the carts. We could only buy fuel and forage from him. Finally he for bade us to land on the sacred coil of Lu zon. We did not pay any attention to this last impertinence, but in regard to the other disagreements I thought a corre spondence was a justifiable expedient. If, however, I had known as much about him then as everybody seems to know now, I might have arrested him then without correspondence. Referring to my original proposition that Admiral Dewey's statement in reference to the surrender of Manila was misleading, I wish to say that no doubt the admiral and General Merritt both thought that they had made an agreement with the Spanish authorities by which the city could be taken without bloodshed. Yet the fact re mains that Captain General Augustin was relieved because he was willing to make 1 J, 10' this is what they call "IXrouthy Kansas." oooooooooooooooooooooooooo wmi raj fortunate ones to -get in on the .early choice of those Continental Suits for It not, yon better come tomorrow.

DOCTORS TAKE IT UP. Take Preliminary Steps to Merge Medical College and Washburn. Plans for the merging of the Kansas Medical college with Washburn, college will be discussed by a joint committee appointed from the faculty and :direc tors of each institution at a meeting of the two committees tonight. A meeting of the faculty and trustees of the medical college was held at the office of Drs. Minney and Magee, at Seventh and Kansas avenues, last night, at which time a committee was appointed to confer with the committee appointed to represent Washburn college.- Dr. J. C. McClintock was made chairman of the medical college com mittee and the other members are Dr. S. G. Stewart, W. F. Schoch, M. R. Mitchell and J. E. Minney. The committee of Washburn college is composed by Prof. F. W. Ellis, chair man; A. B. Whiting and L. H. Green wood. The present outlook is that a consoli dation of the two institutions will most certainly be effected. The details of the merging and the time are matters yet to be settled upon. The conference of the two committees tonight will.be for the purpose of going over the situation and discussing the details and conces sions to be made by each institution, preliminary to the real work of merg ing. -In the event of an agreement to con solidate, officials of Washburn college are anxious that the consolidation be effected at once and that the work of the next school year, beginning this fall, be conducted under the new plans with the medical college installed in its new home at Washburn. The members of the faculty of the medical college think that the consolida tion cannot be effected for this year's work. They say that the year's work is already mapnf d out and that it seems impractical to make the move this year. However, the obstacles that may arise may be overcome and the merging be accomplished yet this year. The plans for the removal of the med ical college to Washburn embrace plans for a new anatomical laboratory in a building to itself as well as a new building for chemistry, bacteriology ana kindred branches. These are improve ments which have been desired at the present home of the medical college and which were to have been realized within a short time. It is announced by the medical college people that in the event of a consolida tion, dentistry will be added to the course of study. The medical college has adequate equipment for its work, and this, added to the equipment already at Washburn college, will place the institution on a higher footing, although it has a high reputation as a medical school now. The trustees of the medical college had plans prepared early this spring for the enlargement of the college build ing here, but owing to the proposition to consolidate coming up, this work was delayed until such time as a definite action is determined upon.
