LAST EDITION. MONDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS. JULY 2S, 1902. MONDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. 1 t.' HELLO IS HEARD 933 MILES OFF Chicago Telephones Successfully to New Orleans. Message Over Wires of the Illi nois Central AS EASY AS EVAXSTON. Lines Will Soon Be Installed Over Entire System Covering Distances Aggregating About 2,500 Miles. Chicago, July 28. Officials of the Illi nois Central railroad in Chicago may talk over the telephone with the New Orleans office' of the road as long as they please without any charges for overtime, for their conversation is over their own wires. Their new talk line has just- been com pleted and put in working order, and is one of the last steps in the installment of the Central's big telephone system, covering all the important terminal and .Intermediate points on its Une3. The length of the New Orleans line, which runs in a zigzag direction by" way of Memphis, is 933 miles. Lines already are in operation between Chicago and East St. Louis, as far as Dubuque on the way to Omaha and Fulton on the way to Louisville. Men are at work on these other lines, and when com pleted the svstem will cover approxi mately 2,500 miles. Tests of the line to New Orleans were made yesterday at the Illinois Central offices here. Memphis was called up first, and communication with the Crescent city quickly established. It was as easy as talking with Kvanston easier, indeed, than it sometimes is. This work has been going on since last February, and up to July 1 had cost something over $114,000. The system is a copper metallic circuit throughout. A good deal of discussion is going on among railroad men as to whether it pays to go to the expense of putting in such a system when telegraphic facili ties are at hand, but the Illinois Central officials believe in it. It is the only rail way system in the west that has so ex tensive a telephone system. The Penn sylvania railroad, in the east, has a similar system. The system is expected to be of prac tical service in case of wrecks, as well as in keeping the various railroad points in close touch with one another. At any point between the regular stations a receiving and transmitting apparatus can be attached to the line and com munication at once established. A crew of men is coming north from New Or leans with apparatus,' testing the ca pacity of the lines at various points for the purpose of communicating wreck news. T' TRAINS COLLIDE. Six Cars Derailed, and Two Persons Fatally Hurt. New York, July 28. A head-on col lision occurred today between two trains of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad on Adams street which resulted in the de railment of six cars, the wrecking of two and the injury of a number of per sons, at least two of them fatally. The collision is thought to have been caused by a misplaced switch. A train bound to New York from Bath Beach was turning the curve at the junction when it was met by a train from the bridge station and the crash occurred. Godfrey Moore and Henry Moore of New York were pinioned beneath the wreckage and probably fatally hurt. It was nearly an hour before they were released. Thirteen others were bruised more or less seriously. Charles SliKttuck, motorman of the Bath Beach train, was arrested. John Sullivan, the motorman of the other train, has disappeared. $8,000 A WEEK. Salary Paid Mascagni For His Ameri can Tour. New York, July 28. S. Kronberg, for merly of Kansas City, is one of the man agers of Mascagnl's American tour, his associate in the enterprise being Aubrey Alittenthal. The tour will begin October 8, and last sixteen weeks. Only the fa mous composer's own operas will be sung. Mascagni will carry his own orchestra and singers and two of his operas which will be produced have never been heard on this side of theocean. Aubrey Alittenthal returned from Italy a few days ago bringing with him Mascagnl's contracts. Mr. Mittenthal says the tour will be the most expensive Italian opera engagement, considering the number of works given, and adds that the largest salary ever paid to a conductor, $3,000 a week will be given Mascagni. SARBACH A WINNER. Result in Jackson County Was Very Close. Holton Kas., July 28. Albert Sarbach was nominated for representative at the Republican primary Saturday though the result was very close. It is believed his majority over H: F. Graham Is between 60 and 70. The contest for. county clerk is so close that the result can not be definitely de termined until the official canvass is made though it is believed that T. C. Mc- Connell was nominated over Frank Sharp. It is known that S. T. Wooburn is nom inated for county attorney and Samuel x ricKer ror probate Judge. The following had no opposition: Dis trict clerk, W. S. Sneder: countv treas urer, W. A. Thompson: register of deeds, A. J. Seybold; county superintendent. W D. Talbert; county surveyor, G. E. White crast. King's Wound 'Heals Rapidly. Cowes. Isle of Wight, July 28. An offi cial bulletin issued today says: "The king's health continues excellent and the wound is healing rapidly.

Mrs. Mary Meade who murdered her children Alice and Mary at their home in Brooklyn last Saturday, died in the hospital today. FATAL FIST FIGHT. Two Oregon Young Hen Quarrel About a OirL Portland, Ore., July 28. Two young men, Frank Carlson and George Bald win, each aged 19 years, quarreled over a girl to whom both were paying atten tion. Carlson challenged Baldwin to fight. The fight took place with bare knuckles in the presence of Carlson's brothers and other friends and of Bald win's father, brother and others of his followers. Both of the young men were searched for weapons before the beginning of the fight, their penknives, keys, etc., being taken away from them. The fight was apparently of two rounds, lasting alto gether about two minutes. At the end of that time Carlson received a blow in the stomach, gasped and fell to the ground. When picked up he was dead. Baldwin surrendered to the police and Is in Jail. The fight took place In an unfrequent ed part of the city. WILSON IS SAVED Death Sentence Commuted Out of Courtesy to United States. Washington, July 28. The life of Dr. Russell Wilson of Ohio, who was captured with a revolutionist party in Nicaragua, has been saved through the representa tions of Minister Corea of that country. A cablegram was received at the state de partment today from Chester Donaldson, United States consul at Managua, Nicar agua, dated the 26th inst., as follows: As a courtesy to the United States and sympathy for the mother, the presi dent will commute Russell Wilson's death sentence." Wilson was one of several Americans who joined a filibustering expedition which landed at Monkey Point, near Bluefields, early in July. Most of the party were captured or killed. Wilson would have been summarily executed but for the interposition of Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minister here. Having secured a stay of proceedings and a guarantee of a legal trial, the minister has now induced President Zelaya to commute the death sentence, imposed upon Wilson by court martial. Before the receipt of this message it was not known here that the court martial had been held. It is presumed that the com mutation is to imprisonment for a time. and then expulsion from Nicaragua. Kingston, Jamaica, July 28. The British cruiser Psyche arrived here to day. Her officers report that on July 7, when the force of Nicaraguan revolu tionists landed near Bluefields by the Colombian gunboat General Pinzon had been completed the Pinzon steamed away. The Nicaraguan forts fired at the Pinzon but without success. The commander of the Psyche landed and insisted that the captured rsfels be giv en a fair and impartial trial instead of being shot without trial. It was believ ed that among those captured at that time was Dr. Wilson, an American, but the officials of the Psyche could not def initely ascertain regarding his presence. He had not been tried up to the time the' Psyche left last week. Telegraph lines are broken and news is difficult to get. According to officers of the Psyche the Colombian government is helping the Nicaraguan revolutionists. HANNA IS PLEASED. Cleveland, O., July 28. Senator Ban na, who has been most active in Dr. Wilson's case, was much gratified today when shown the Associated Press dis patch from Washington announcing that the president of Nicaragua would commute the sentence of the prisoner. HALF INCH OF RAIN. That is the Weather Record For Sunday. The rain Sunday afternoon and night measured 26-100 of an inch. Saturday's rain measured 40-100, making a total of 66-100 of an inch of ram since Satur day noon. "Cider" Smith today announced the following forecast: "We are now mid way between two important storm peri ods. The weather will be unsettled, in clining to showers until the- first day of August, then a change to some cooler weather with more showers, mostly north of us until about 5th, then clearing up."- The government forecast sent out today was "generally fair except possi bly local showers. Warmer west por tion tonight." Sunday's maximum tem perature was 86 and the minimum was 66. This morning the mercury was down to 66. The wind has been south east, blowing four miles an hour.

London, July 28. The Mark Lake Ex press, in its review of crop conditions, says that wind and rain threaten ser ious damage over a considerable portion of the wheat area of the United King dom. Barley has been benefited by the weather and oats have not suffered. The French wheat yield is above the aver age in the most important provinces, the total crop being estimated at forty two million quarters. Rye is not above the average, but oats are from 5 to 10 per cent above. A big wheat crop is re ported in Hungary, and more- than an average yield is expected in north Ger many, Saxony, Bavaria and Silesia. Attacked by Moros. Manila, July 28. A party of engineers commanded by Lieutejiant .Brown, en camped at Matalang river, was attack ed by Moros at midnight on Friday. The attack was repulsed without loss tt the Americans.

S. Cruni's Successor. Junction City Man to Be United States Marshal. FROM: FIFTH DISTRICT. Says He Wanted That Section to Have Something. This Leaves All Old Soldiers Out of Big Federal Places. Mr. Burton Says Recommenda tion Has Been Forwarded. To stop what was fast becoming a scramble for the vacancy in the office of United States marshal. Senator Burton last night recommended the appoint ment of W. H. Mackey of Junction City to the vacancy. In doing so he gave out the following statement at his home in Abilene: "I have endorse William H. Mackey. Jr., of Junction City for United States marshal, to succeed L. S. Cram. I be lieve him to be the choice of a very large majority of the Republicans of the Fifth district. Each of the other districts has been favored with one or more high federal appointments. So far the Fifth district has received no high federal place. "Congressman Calderhead earnestly endorses Mr. Mackey, and so do all of the Republican senators and represen tatives from the Fifth district, so far as I have heard from them, and I have heard from all except two or three. So it may be said fairly that the district is backing up Mr. Mackey for this place. Other leading Republicans from all parts of the state have also tele graphed me heartily endorsing Mr. Mackey. I know him to be splendidly equipped in every way for the position and believe that his appointment will meet with general approval from th Republicans of Kansas." Senator Burton decided on Saturday night to appoint Mackey. H. E. Rich ter, who had claims on the place, went to Abilene to see the senator about it, and Senator Burton told him point blank that he should recommend the Junction City man. "I did not see Senator Burton more than three minutes, but that was enough," said Governor Richter. "He told me that he had already decided to recommend Mackey for the place, and that was all there was to it." Before Mr. Crum was appointed last winter it was rumored that Senator Burton would throw Crum over and appoint Mackey instead. It was alleg ed that this would be done for a two fold purpose first, to give the Fifth district some recognition in the way of federal patronage; and, second, to make a break between Mackey and George A. Clark. This was why Crum rounded up every influence possible to hold Senator Burton to his promise to give him the marshalship. Mackey is now postmaster at Junction City. He has just begun his second term. He is not an old soldier, and this fact is causing some comment, because heretofore two of the four big federal appointees in Kansas have been civil war veterans. Now none of them axe. The four big offices were revenue col lector, in which M. W. Sutton, an old soldier, was succeeded by J. M. Simp son, who is not an old soldier, by Senator Burton's appointment; pension agent, in which Cyrus Leland, an old soldier, was succeeded by Wilder S. Met calf, a Spanish-American soldier but not a civil war veteran; United States district attorney, in which J. S. Dean succeeded I. E. Lambert, neither of whom are veterans; and the marshal ship. In this last office Senator Bur ton first appointed L. S. Crum to suc ceed W. E. Sterne. Crum was an old soldier but Sterne was not. This was the only one of the big appointments which Senator Burton gave to the old soldiers. Now that also is taken away from them. MR. BURTON IS HERE. Senator J. R. Burton .came down from Abilene early this morning and is at the Copeland. He will go to Kansas City tonight. The senator has already forwarded to Washington his endorsement of W. H. Mackey of Junction City for Uniteet States marshal to fill the vacancy caus ed by the death of L. S. Crum. "My reasons for recommending Mr Mackey I set forth in the statement I gave out in Abilene last night," said Senator Burton today. "AH other parts of the state have been generally recog nized in federal appointments except the Fifth district. Mackey's friends held off their endorsements until after the funeral of Marshal Crum Saturday morning, but during the forenoon I was flooded with telegrams endorsing him from all over the district. I think the Fifth district very generally lined up for him. I have forwarded the en dorsement to Washington and I hope that the appointment will be made In a short time." y Senator Burton had a long conference with Governor Stanley today, but neither he nor Governor Stanley indi cated the nature of it. The senator will be tendered a reception at Junction City next Friday evening, at which he will make another address. W. H. Mackey, who tvill be appointed United States marshal if there is no slip, is a native Kansan. He was born in Leavenworth about 45 years ago, bui his home has been in Junction City for a good portion of his life time. He has been active in politics and has served 10 years as sheriff of Geary county at different times, a record perhaps not surpassed by any sin ilar officer in Kan sas. Four years ago he was appointed postmaster at Junction City and has just entered upon his second term. He has been a strong supporter of Senator Burton and 10 years ago when Burton was a candidate for congress in the Fifth district he campaigned the dis trict for him. Canadian Shooters Best. London, July 28. The reshoot for the Mackinnon cup at the National Rifle association meeting at Bisley, resulted in a victory today for the Canadian team. The Canadians scored 1,375, the English" team 1,340 and the Riflemen representing Scotland made 1,317 points. Tornado Kills Moros. Manila, July 28. A tornado at Camp Vicars on Saturday last caused much loss of property. Many villages weie destroyed and a number of Moros were killed. The Machias Beaches Cape Haytien. Cape Haytien, July 28. The Machias arrived iiere at noon today. TINEW00D TO TRY AGAIN. Will Ask Commissioners to Reconsider Unfavorable Action. The Vine wood Park railroad .will proba bly ask the county commissioners to re consider their action in refusing the road the right of way on Maryland avenue, in Highland Park. A petition signed by 47 people In High land Park was filed asking that the right of way be granted and a remonstrance signed by 114 people was filed against it. Upon that showing the commissioners re fused the right of way, but since it is claimed It lias been found that the re monstrance was signed by several mem bers of the same family and by persons who do not live in Highland Park. HAS HEART TROUBLE. Joe Chamberlain's Condition Is Causing Anxiety to Friends. New York, July 28. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's condition is again giving serious concern to his friends and grave rumors are current, says a World dispatch from London. It is said, according to the correspondent, that since Mr. Cham berlain was hurt in a cab accident on July 7, he has had recurring attacks of irreg ular heart action. The cardiac troubles are so serious that he has been examined by three eminent specialists in heart af fections, and after a consultation they forbade him to resume work in the house of commons last Thursday as he had pro posed to do. It is possible that specialists feared the effect of the exciting scene which would be certain to take place upon his reappearance in parliament. Mr. Chamberlain's secretary has pub lished the statement that the colonial secretary is "recovering more slowly -than was expected." As the colonial office appropriations are to be discussed in the house of commons on Tuesday it is a.' matter of extreme in terest whether or not he will be there to take part in the discussion. While heretofore the reports concerning his health have been encouraging, it is certain that his appearance is greatly changed. FITZ WILL SUE. Says His Character Has Been Badly Defamed. San Francisco, July 28. Robert Fitz simmons, made desperate by the re ports of the fake story, said he intended to bring suit for $100,000 for defamation of character against the publication that printed the story. Colonel Kow olski will probably be retained by Fitz simmons and, win or lose. Bob will shift the story to the bottom. STREET CAR HELD UP. The Conductor Forced to Hand Over the Night's Receipts. Kansas Cty, July 28. H. E. Engel and Ralph Herrod. conductor and motor man on car No. 723, on the Grendview division of the Metropolitan atreet rail way, were held up at midnight last night at the terminus of the Grandview line. Two young men approached Eihgel as he was replacing the trolley on the wire preparatory to the return trip, and holding revolvers to his head threatened to blow his brains out if he did not give them the money he carried. The conductor surrendered the contents of his pockets, amounting to $12 or $14. While one or the highwaymen was re ceiving this the other entered the car, and compelled the motorman, whom he found at the east end, to return to the rear of the car. No money was obtain ed from him. The crew was then ordered to pro ceed towards the city with the car, and the robbers rode on it as far as Fifteenth street. Here they left the car and went north. The highwaymen were apparently about twenty or twenty-two yearr old and wore theif hats pulled down over their eyes. The robbery was reported to the Kan sas City, Kan., police at 12:30 o'clock and Sergeant Broadhurst went to the scene. He found a black umbrella and a skull cap covered wtih wool behind a hedge at Eighteenth street, which It Is supposed a third robber wore during the holdup. No further clews were found, and but a meager description of the robbers was obtained. $43,5? 2,693 SPENT. Money Laid Out on Lower Mississippi Since 1879. Washington, July- 28. The Mississippi river commission, having in charge the work of improvement of the river from the mouth of the Ohio to the head of the passes, has submitted its annual report to the chief of engineers. Since the organization of the commission in 1879 until the present time the total amount appropriated for that portion of i the Mississippi under the commis sion has been $43,572,693. Owing to the failure of any appropriations since 1900 work has been restricted to repairs. In connection with the survey of the river, the report says: "Releveling parts of the line along the lower river has shown discrepan cies which indicate a geological dis turbance along the shore of the Gulf of Mexico. The interesting question thus raised makes it highly important that the line below the .older formations on the river bank, which give relative as suranee of the stability of the earth's surface, should be rerun at proper in tervals." Qreen Corn Dance at White Eagle. Arkansas City, '.Kan.. July 28. At White Eagle, Okla., 30 miles south of the Kansas line, the Ponea Indians are indulging- in their annual spring festi val,' the green corn dance. The Poncas and their visitors are., camped a half mile from the railroad and about 700 tepees are erected. Osages, Kiowas and Otoes are joining with the Poncas -in the dance, which began yesterday and will last three days. This is said to- be the biggest dance given in the Indian territory during late years. Severe' Strom in Kentucky. Mount Sterling, Ky., July 28. A se vere wind and electrical storm in the northwestern section of Montgomery county last evening caused heavy dam age to fencing, outbuildings, trees and crops; Nelson Holmes, a negro farm hand, was struck by lightning and killed. Temperatures of Large Cities. Chicago. July 28.-7 a. m. tempera tures: New York, 72: Boston. 74: Phila delphia, 76; Washington. 76; Chicago, 76; Minneapolis, 68; Cincinnati, 74; St Louis, 74. HERE ARE FACTS. Wichita Tries to Discredit To peka Enterprises. Effort to Show Windy City is in Same Class. ABOUT SANTA FE SHOPS Topeka Would Make Good Show ing Without Them. Figures From the Official Rec ords Prove All. The Wichita Eagle is trying to prove that Wichita is in the same class with Topeka as a manufacturing city. A story in the Sunday Eagle starts out with the scare head "Exposes the Brag of Topeka." Secretary M. W. Levy of the Wichita Commercial club quotes from the Mail and Breeze of Topeka the figures given out by the government statistician, gathered at the census of 1900 for the year 1899. After rehashing the three year old figures the secretary of the Wichita Commercial club says: Topeka s industries lack diversifica tion, and are mostly small and Insignifi cant, with one exception, and that one exception practically makes up the town's whole total, over which it is bragging. I refer to the Santa Fe shops. That establishment is the basis for To peka's boast, and that alone. If To peka will subtract from its total of es tablishments, the Santa Fe shops, and subtract from Its total employe?, the' number employed In the Santa Fe shops, and then subtract from Its total wages the wages paid in the Santa Fe shops, it will be so ashamed of the result that it will never talk manufacturing again. "Now," continued Mr. Levy, "should the fires go out in the Santa Fe shops Topeka's pay roll would decrease $1, 841,215, leaving a balance of $269,506, dis tributed among 928 men, and Wichita would continue to distribute $639,271 among 1,505 wage earners." From a table of statistics compiled from the records in the office of State Secretary of Agriculture F. D. Coburn the following facts and figures are se cured for the year ending March 1, 1902: Topeka Wichita Mo. mrg. firms 2X9 Total No. employed 5.517 Total wages paid 2.823,780 Capital invested 3.SftS.5x0 Value raw material used 12.227,791 Value of products, in cluding all jobbing and repairing 16.898,158 Average wages per cap ita per year 512 182 1,323 644.2112 l.S0i.4Sr 2,322,013 3,757v514 487 The above schedule of figures is com piled from the sworn statements of the assessors in each of the places referred to and are up-to-date. It will be noted that Topeka leads Wichita by practi cally four times as many employes In manufactories; four times as much wages paid each year; four times th amount of capital invested and four times the amount of manufactured products. "The claim of Mr. Levy," said Major Anderson yesterday of the Topeka Com mercial club, "that the Santa Fe shops constituted the principal industry of the city and without which the manufactur ing industries would be nothing, is sheer nonsense. Mr. Levy attempts to show that outside the employes of the Santa Fe shops there are only 928 em ployes in manufactories In Topeka. He Is either mistaken or Is trying to mis represent Topeka maliciously. There are 5,517 employes in factories in Topeka of which only 1,790 are employed in the manufacturing department of the Santa Fe shops. No other Santa Fe employes are counted; none of the trainmen, en glnemen.switchmen.general office clerks. of which there are 610 persons drawing annually $517,689.36, or nearly as much as the entire amount paid to the em ployes of the entire list of Wichita manufactories; nor the employes of what are known as the Sixth street Santa Fe repair shops. "The 1,790 Santa Fe shop employes receive $1,035,540, of the two million, eight hundred thousand dollars distrib uted annually in Topeka, and the re maining 3,727 employes which are more than three times all that Wichita has altogether, receive $1,788,240 which is within a hundred and fifty thousand dollars of three times the entire amount of salary distributed to Wichita manu factory employes. "The manufacturing department of the Santa Fe shops employs more peo ple than the entire manufacturing in dustry of Wichita and the employes are paid nearly twice as much annually as is paid to the thirteen hundred Wichita employes. "The per capita of the wage earners is higher in Topeka.- The per capita in Topeka Is $512 as against $487 In Wich ita. "As for the diversity of industries, Wichita will also have 'to take a back seat again. Wichita in the very heart of the wheat belt cannot boast the mill ing industry that Topeka can. "The United States census of the year 1900 which of course dealt with the statistics of the year previous, and from which Secretary Levy of Wichita secur ed the figures with which to juggle are are follows. They are official and will show the superiority of the capital city over the Sedgwick town as far back as 1899: Topeka Wichita No. establishments 3?9 328 Capital $3,891,530 $2,108,524 Land 214.291 202.513 Buildings 867.930 3S3.760 Machinery, tools, etc 1,329.600 715.963 Cash and sundries 1,479.70?) .794,28 Proprietors, firm merob'rs 472 378 n anfa omciais. pit-- 313 11 Salaries J.. 232.02 110.93S Ware earners 3.758 1.505 Wages 2.110.721 CSS. 271 Men, 16 ana over t.z-t Wages 2,040.237 692.693 Women. 16 years and over 2.-1 200 Wages 66,628 42,810 Children under 16 24 7 21 Wages 3.856 3.7H Miscellaneous expenses 417.231 176.146 Rent of works 67.SS2 46.511 Taxes 33.250 10.833 Rent offices, interest, etc 242.111 81"HJ Contract work JS 59 JI Cost material used 6.023,934 3.060.661 Principal materials, in- eluding freight 5,911 .064 3,014.061 Fuel, rent of power, heat. 112.870 46.61l Value of products 9,977.105 4.724.068 Moody Leaves Oyster Bay.

Will Be Topeka Correspondent for Kan saa City "World. John Curran, secretary of the Populist state central committee, has resigned as Topeka correspondent of the Kansas City World, and he has t received in formation that he will be succeeded by R. M. Ruggles, formerly the correspond ent for the World at this place. Mr. Curran says that his work In connec tion with the coming campaign pre vented him from properly doing newspa per work and for that reason gave up the place. R. M. Ruggles left Topeka two years ago and edited the Leavenworth Chron icle for some time. More recently he has been developing a granite quarry In Which he is interested at Granite, Ok. HAS TWO YACHTS. Both Mayflower and Sylph to Remain at Oyster Bay. Washington, July 8 President Roose velt will have two yachts at his disposal at Oyster Bay. The beautiful yacht Mayflower, which was fitted up express ly for the president's use has been at Oyster Bay ever since the president went to Sagamore Hill. On Saturday, after Secretary Moody's arrival at Oys ter Bay, he wired the department to dispatch the Sylph to the summer home of the president and she sailed for that place yesterday. There is no informa tion here as to the use to which she will be put, but it is presumed that she will be employed for short .cruises in the shallow waters of the sound, when the Mayflower would not be available.ow Ing to her heavy draught. THAT TROLLEY LINE. Meeting of Dover Committee Is Called For Tonight. A special meeting of the committee appointed by Dr. C. C.

MISS WOOSTER'S BOOKS. She Has Decided to Publish Them Herself. A-. number of eastern -publishlng houses are after a contract to handle Miss Lizzie E. Wooster's jeaders in the east. Agents have been in Topeka with in the past week or two to secure such a contract, but she has made none. "I propose to keep the plates and pub lish the readers myself," said Miss Wooster, "but I will sell the books out right and allow other publishing houses to handle them. I have not quite com pleted the entire series." Miss Wooster has contracted with the Kansas Book company to handle her el ementary arithmetics in Kansas, and with Zercher Co. to handle them In Oklahoma and Nebraska. There are two of these arithmetics. KIPLING RETREATS. "Will Leave Rottingdean Because of Crowds of Admirers. London, July 28. Rudyard Kipling is about to leave Rottingdean, near Brigh ton, where he has resided five years, to live in a more secluded house in Tun bridge Wells. His desire for privacy is sincere and unaffected. He has suffered greatly from the attention of unknown admirers, who made the pilgrimage to Rottingdean in increasing numbers. His new country house is surrounded by extensive grounds inside a high brick wall, affording complete protection from the world's gaze.

Volunteer soldiers in the Spanish war are making a pension record which promises to develop into a scandal. In comparing the records of five regular and five volunteer regiments which fought at Santiago, it was discovered that nearly twice as many volunteers as regu lars had applied for pensions, while the number of regulars killed as compared to volunteers were as twenty-six to one... Of the wounded there were 396 regulars and thirteen volunteers. The two regiments which stand at the head of the list of pension applicants are the Ninth Massa chusetts and the Eighth Ohio, which had no wounded and no killed. The pension office records make the startling disclosure that while the Eighth Ohio landed in Cuba with 1,300 members, a total of 705 pension claims have been filed, either by the soldiers or their rela tives. This regiment has filed pension claims for 53 per cent of the members which landed in Cuba. While the figures for all regiments have not been made pub. lie, it is said that many other regiments have filed fully as large a percentage of pension claims as the Eighth Ohio. Four of the volunteer regiments have more applicants for pensions than the Seventh United States Infantry, a regi ment which lost thirty-four men In battle and ninety-nine wounded. The First District of Columbia, which had no men killed or wounded, has filed more claims than any of the five regular regiments named, with the exception of the Seventh infantry. The five regiments named from the north and east far outnumber any regiments from the south or west in mak ing applications for pensions. Eugene F. Ware, the pension commissioner, admitted his surprise when the summaries com piled from the records were shown him. 'I am at a loss to explain thegreatnum ber of applications and shall have some of my clerks examine Into the records of other regiments," Mr. Ware said. "I can think of but one explanation for this as tounding number of pension applications. When the regiments returned from Cuba the men probably were suffering from the effects of the tropical climate and felt that their health was permanently im paired. On this supposition claims were doubtless filed by many men who have since recovered their health completely. When I left the service at the end of the Civil war my health was poor and I felt as though I would never recover. A few months in a northern climate restored me completely and this was probably the experience of many of the boys who cam paigned in Cuba." mm :,uii la L KING'S PRIVATE SALOON ABOARD THE OSBORNE.

The Grandest Race of the Year Scheduled For Saturday. Lord" Derby and Boralnia to i Trot For $50,000 Purse. A FORTUNE FOR WINKER Race Will Be Over Charter Oak Track at Hartford. Greater Amount of Money Will Be Upon Lord Derby. Chicago, July 28. The most interest ing event In the trotting horse horizon Just now is the great match race be tween Lord Derby and Boralma, sched uled to take place next Saturday over the Charter Oak park track at Hartford, Conn. In point of magnitude from a money standpoint this race has never been equaled either' on the trotting or the running turf, when matches pure and simple are considered. The owner of each horse has put up $20,000 on chances of his favorite, and the track adds $10, 000, making a total of $50,000 to be trot ted for, all of which goes to the winner, making the capturing of this event more notable from a monetary stand point, th-n the winning of an American Derby twice over. The reasons which brought about the making of a two horse race for such a lot of money are simple enough. "Tom" Lawson, the owner of Boralma, is not a man who deals in small amounts when money is concerned. Of all his horses Boralma is his pet and pride, and on more than one occasion he has demonstrated this by giving the entire winnings of the horse, when a valuable stake fell to him, to charity. In 1900, when the $10,000 Massachusetts stake at Boston was won by the chestnut geld ing, Lawson announced that the entire winnings, entrance money and all, would go to the Children's hospital of his home town, and later in the season, when Boralma was first in the $8,000 Transyl vania stake at Lexington, the hospitals of the Kentucky town got the money. The defeat on two occasions last year of Boralma by Lord Derby was a sore disappointment to Lawson, and during the winter, after he had made a change in the management of his trotting af fairs, he announced that he was willing to match the horse against either Lord Derby or The Abbot, or both, for as much money as the ow-ners of those trotters cared to chance on their steeds. In the meantime Lord Derby had been sold, and his owner was E. E. Smathers. a New Yorker who likes nothing better than to plunge in a trotting race. In common with most people who make a study of harness racing, Mr. Smithers was of the opinion that the races last year between Derby and Boralma show ed conclusively that the former was both faster and gamer than the Boston representative, and the match that is to be trotted next Saturday was made at once. For once in the history of match races between notably fast trotters, there is no question but that the amount of money advertised as a stake has been actually put up, and that the whole affair has been "for blood" from start to finish. As for Smathers, the owner of Derby, he is about as high a gambler as the trotting turf has ever seen.. He is also a good judge of horses and what they can do. His driver, George Spear, is cool-headed to a degree, and, considered purely as a reinsman and a conditioner of horses, ranks hgh. Spear induced Smathers to give $10,000 at auction for Lord Derby last winter when the horse was lame and it was not certain that he would ever race again, and he has looked after hm, day and night, from that time with the sole idea of demon strating that his charge is the best trot ter In training, confident that when the days conies he will beat The Abbott, with whom he is also matched. As to the race next Saturday and its probable outcome, it is safe to say 90 per cent of professional horsemen think Lord Derby will win. They know and appreciate the fact that at Boston last summer, in a race with Cresceus, he trotted an eighth of a mile at an ad mittedly faster rate of speed than was ever before attained by a trotter. They recall that he beat Boralma at Hart ford two weeks later, the best heat in 2:064, and that a little later in the season, when he and Boralma came to gether at Boston, it was straight heats for Derby, with Boralma outtrotted at every stage of the race. With both horses in condition, they do not think there is any argument as to which will win, and they believe that, with the possible exception of Geers, no man is better able to bring Derby to the post in shape to go a fast race than George Spear. It happens that up to date both horses have done all thpt has been asked of them in training, nd they have done it in such style as to indicate that they are in order for the finishing touches of their preparation. Boralma has worked one mile a trifle better than 2:08 over a track that was certainly no faster than Hartford's will be next Saturday, should: the weather be fine, and at the end of another mile trotted the same day, the tine of which was 2:12, he stepped the last quarter in 30 seconds flat, some of the many .watches held on him making the time a sneeze under that. FITZ 18 HEART BROKEN. Denies the Story of a Fake "I Prayed to Win," Hr Said. San Francisco, July 28. Fitzsimmons Cried When shown the story that be bad faked the fight and called it a "mali cious lie." He said he had heard that some woman at Harbin Springs, his first training quarters, had Written a letter to a reporter saying that Fitzsimmons would go out In the eighth round. "It is a shame to call it a fake," he said. "I fought the greatest fight of my life and here I have been branded a cur. I thought I was winning all the time, but I could not have won anyway. Both hands were gone. I have fought 328 battles and have been defeated twice, both times by Jeffries. That shows that he is the better man, doesn't it? I've had 20 years of hard fighting and my hands have gone back on me. If they had been all right Jeff would not have lasted six rounds, but I've got no ex cuses. As God is my judge I did my best." Fits cried as he saM this, and looked regretfully at his crippled hands. "Why," he said, with childish frank ness, "I prayed to win this fight. It was the first time I ever prayed to win. I lay in that room there" he pointed to the adjoining apartment "and prayed 'God give me strength to win this bat tle, and I will be thankful. Amen.'

Mallory Line and Mexican Cen tral Traffic Arrangements. Rock, Island and Frisco Direc tors Meetings Tomorrow. New Tork, July 28. One of the four gentlemen most prominently identified with the new control of the Rock Island has vouchsafed some interesting addi tional information of the lines along which It was proposed to expand the system. The Mallory line of steam shins, running from Galveston to New York, will be purchased if a reasonable price can be agreed upon, and u not a transportation alliance will be formed, giving the Rock Island equal facilities with the Southern Paciflc by water from Galveston to New Tork. Something or this has been- heard before,, but this is the first time that a Rock Island of ficial has said thatvthe ourchase of the Mallory line Is proposed. Next, Rock Island intends to form an alliance with the Mexican Central, whlch-will make It the shortest and most direct means of transportation between.Chicago and the City of Mexico. More important than either of these things, and more important than any thing Rock Island has done in the way of expansions, it proposes to go to the Pacific coast. -JXhis is a fixed determi nation, though it has not been deter mined how the object shall be attained. The official' on whose authority this statement is made says that Rock Is land will -do one of thwo things. It j will either build to the coast or buy one or tee estaDiisnea lines, lie nastenea co add that any talk -of Rock Island in interests txying to buy control of an other road in the open market is sheer nonsense how .er-. at any future time. If the Rock Island buys Its way to the Pac ific coast by securing a line already built it wUl be -done in private negotia tions, and not through the stock mar ket. Thex suggestion of Rock Island buying a road to the coast leads infer entially to thoughts of a deal with Atchison, and while the cfjeial would not deny that this combiri3V.m is in the range of probability, he stited posi tively that control of Atchison or ot any other road will never be bought for Rock Island in the stock market. Reports of a deaf for control or lease oi me rnsco oy ine rcocs .ami ibt become so persistent, despite-most em- phatic denials by officials and directors started a little revolution which para of both systems, that a general impres- j d everythin The party in power sion prevails that negotiations of some terrorlz0(j the people and posted procla desenption are-under way. i tn.lt nr)V found on th? It is intimated by reliable persons i inai negotiations are u.iuer. way lor a. close traffic alliance. Bankers identified with the Frisco have intimated that j tnere were negotiations on loot looKing to a close alliance with the Rock Island system. But it is pointed out that this alliance would not necessarily mean that the system would pass under con trol of the Rock Island, but that a lease on a fixed guarantee mught be made. A meeting of Frisco directors has been called in New York for next Tues day, which is several days fn advance of the regular meeting time. That is also the date announced for the Rock Island meeting, which, it has been offi cially stated, will develop something "very satisfactory." to all stockholders President Yoakum is thought to be in New York City, and he will attend this meeting. New York, July 28. President W. B. Leeds of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific is in New York. While declining to talk for publication regarding Rook Island matters, President Leeds said that there appeared to be a misunder standing with regard to the purpose that the Rock Island management had in view in reorganizing the financial af fairs of the company. He intimated that the main object was concentration and economy. Asked if the Rock Island directors would meet in this city next Tuesday, President Leeds said that in all proba bility they would. He would say noth ing about the purpose of the organiza tion. It may be stated as a fact, how ever, that the directors will receive from President Leeds the complete draft of a plan for the financial reorganization of the company. A Wall street broker, who is operat ing for the Rock Island, is reported as saying: "There is no necessity of the Rock Island people buying control of Atchi son. Such a scheme would require more capital than even the dominant interest in Rock Island could well afford. The outstanding capital stock of the Atchi son is about $33,000,000, and that is very widely distributed. The amount of Atchison stock already owned by the Moores and their associates entitles them to an influential representation in the Atchison board." Austin, Tex., July 2S. The authorita- IN HIS LIBRARY. n f''-- 1 m tive announcement was made here to day that the Rock Island railroad and the Mallory Steamship companies, have entered into a traffic agreement where by that road is to handle the freight delivered by the Mallory line through the port of Galveston and destined to points reached by the Rock Island sys tem west of the Mississippi river. The Rock Island, on Its part, is to throw to the Mallory line such business as it can handle through Galveston. Pending the building of the extension of the Rock Island to Galveston a connection with the latter place is obtained over the Missouri, Kansas Texas road from the Rock Island's present southern ter minus at Fort Worth. El Paso, Tex., July 28 "The engineer ing corps of the Rock Island has com pleted the final survey for the Choctaw extension from Amarillo to Tucumcari. N. M.," said a railroad man who just returned from Amarillo. "I was told that the actual grading of the extension was commenced last week at Tucumcari and that the line will be finished within six months. A grading camp is to be put to work at the Amarillo end and the work rushed as fast as possible. "There is considerable gossip as to the ultimate extension of the Choetaw The general impression over there seems to be that the extension to Tucumcari is to give the Rock- Island-Choctaw people direct connection with Denver over the Dawson coal road and the Col orado lines. Whether this is true or not the extension to Tucumcari will give the Choctaw a coal supply from the Daw son fields, and make the line independ ent of the Indian Territory coal fields.' PLAYED TAG WITH DEATH. Experiences of a Former Santa Fe Man in Central America. fFrom the El Paso Herald. 1 J. W. Rabbins, who ran- a train out of El Paso on the Santa Fe in 1883 and 1S84 and on the Mexican Central in 1889, left El Paso about 10 years ago, a specimen of a perfectly healthy man. Before leaving Texas he had never ex perienced a day's illness in his life. He arrived in El Paso yesterday a physi cal wreck and as yellow as ochre. After 10 years' experience in Mexican, Central and South American countries, where pestilences and epidemics of every kind rage the year round, he is returning to his home in New York In the hopes that skilled medical treatment will restore him the good health he once enjoyed. Mr. Robbins' life since leaving El Paso has been fraught with many ad ventures and has been one continual game of tag with death in which he escaped with his life and little else. He went to the isthmus of Panama and entered the service of the Panama Railway company in the capacity of locomotive engineer. On the line of the road yellow fever and smallpox were prevalent continuously. He was fortu nate in not succumbing to any of them, and by saving his earnings and invest ing them judiciously, at the end of five years he had accumulated a modest fortune of several thousand dollars. Ke then retired from the road and engaged in the saloon business. At first h enjoyed a period of prosperous b iness but tne turbulent nooulitiot, streets after 9 0-ci0ck at night without a permit would be shot. All places of Du"ines were closed at that hour During the period of business depres- sion lRcl(1ent to the revolution, he lty.t all the little fortune he had accumu lated during his years of toil. Then .he was forced to go to work again an I went to Ecuador, in wheh country h i ran an engine for 19 months. Leaving there he came north to the state or Vera Cruz in Mexico, and took a run on the Ferrocarril de Tehuantepec from Coatzacoalcoa on the Golfo de Cam peche to Salina Cruz on -the Golfo da Tehuantepec on the Paciflc coast. There he was stricken with yellow fever and came near running into the terminal. He was able to leave the hospital last week and at once came to El Paso. "When a man goes to Central America, with the intention of railroading, he is taking long chances," said Mr. Rob binr. "If yellow jack, smallpox or some thing else does not knock him out, ha may have to wait years before he can get a job, unless he should happen to b exceptionally fortunate in the latter re spect. The youngest men on the road have been there five years and mon of them 10 to 15. The oldert has been there 24. John R. Shaler, the general superintendent, has been there nearly a Quarter of a century. "But after a man gets in he sjets good pay. Engineers receive $158.50 in gold and room with bath attached at both terminals. They also get meals at $1 each. Colombian money. To tran sients the same meals cost $2.50. Con ductors receve $158.50 gold and the same accommodations and rates as engi neers. Only American conductors and engineers are used. The firemen and brakemen are negroes from the island of Jamaica, "The Panama railroad Is the whole thing down In that country, and for It tne revolutionists of both parties al ways entertained the profoundest re spect. Their property Is as safe as any in the United States. During the revo lution about three years ago when I was in the saloon business, the American consul sent the revolutionists word thai if any persons on any highway going to the trains or any property belong ing to the company were molested the United States gunboats would blow up the -whole Isthmus. They have an ides that any monkey business with Undo Sam would result In complete destruc tion of the entire country," BALL BEARING FREIGHT CARS Test of an Important Invention Being Made by Illinois Central. Yesterday a car loaded with 75,000 pounds of castings from the American Foundry company left Granite City for New Orleans over the Illinois Central. This will be the first long distance test of the Howe ball bearings, the car be ing especially fitted with these bearings. It is claimed for this ball-bearing that a car loaded to its utmost capacity can be moved with one-fifth the motive power required Jn moving an ordinary freight car; that one man single hand ed can move a car provided with these bearings, though it may be laden to its utmost capacity. When the car reaches New Orleans it will be loaded with return freight to Chicago, and if the test to which it is subjected In this long north and south haul should come up to the requirements, the Illinois Central will introduct the bearings on passenger and freight cars, as with the four-point contact provided for, the car runs as smoothly and as steadily as a sixteen spring Pullman. MILLIONS OP TIME CARDS. Printing Bill of Burlington ia About $36,000 a Year. The Burlington railroad uses more than 2,250,000 copies of time cards and folders a year. Of this number the lines west of the river use 672,000 copies an nually. The approximate cost of paper and printing these folders is $3,000 a year. This is for advertising time cards alone and takes no account of the money spent for pamphlets descriptive of summer and winter resorts, A repre sentative of the passenger department says: ".We use in Omaba about 6,000 fold- ers a month at a cost of about $868. Our Chicago office uses about 75,000, and St. Louis Drobablv 50.000 more. The folders issued by the Omaha passenger depart ment are intended to supply the ticket agents west of the Missouri river in Nebraska, northern Kansas, South Da kota, Montana,-Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Wash ington, Oregon and California. In some respects it is more difficult to keep the Burlington folder up to date than that of any other line. The reason of this Is that the Burlington time table shows (n condensed form the schedules of al most every western railroad, and when ever a change in the time of these latter roads is made it is necessary for the information to be incorporated in our time tables. Several times we have had to hold our folders four or five days pending the receipt of correct time ta bles from the -Southern Pacific, Great Northern or Northern Pacific rail roads." MYSTERIOUS PETER POWER. Identity of the Man Who is Fighting Merger ia Revealed. New Tork, July 28." A hearing was set for today of the suit brought by Peter Power to prevent the carrying out of the plan to turn over the stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad company to the Northern Securities company. It was expected that Power, the complain ant, would appear to answer questions to be put to him by Francis Lynde Stet son, counsel for the defendants, but neither Power nor his attorney, George Alfred Lamb, was present at the hour set for the hearing. Mr. Lamb arrived later and declared that his client had not been properly served with an order to appear. Mr. Lamb asked that the hearing go over until after His (Lamb's) return from Europe, where he expected to spend a vacation. Mr. Stetson said he would not" agree to any delay, and that if Powir was not produced by next Tuesday appli cation would be made -to have the suit dismissed. After some further discus sion Mr. Guthrie, who is associated with Mr. Stetson as counsel for defendants to the action, said to Mr. Lamb: "We serve formal notice on you that unless your client is produced for examination at the session next Tuesday we will take steps to have him committed for contempt of the United States court." It w-as brought out during the dis cussion that Peter Power is employed In Lamb's law office. BRIGHAM YOUNG'S GRANDSON Ge Position of General Superin t ndent of Rio Grande Western. Denver, July 28.

This is a strange legacy to leave to posterity a heavy burden to place upon the shoulders of the young. This treacherous disease, dwarfs the body and hinders the growth and development of the faculties, and the child born of blood poison or scrofula-tainted parentage, is poorly equipped for lift's duties. Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied symptoms; enlargedglands or tumors about the neck and armpits, catarrh. of the head, weak eyes and dreadful skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the presence of tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood. This dangerous and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the system and attacks the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, resulting in white swelling a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loss of strength and a gradual wasting away of the body.

HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often ms desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. The Indianapolis News holds that Mr. Bryan's value to his party is not aa a leader but as a warning. Chicago ranks fourth among the ports in the world. London, New York and Hamhurg are ahead of it. Eastern people are about to learn what it is to pay $10 a ton for bard coal. Out here in the west we are accustomed to It. Figures have been issued shewing that the British army during the war in South Africa consumed 34,500,000 pounds of jam. Advocates of fusion in politics should turn their attention to securing a union of the Mississippi Republican and the Vermont Democrats. The weather man undertook a big job when he started in to wet all of Texas at one time but he seems to be getting on with It all right. About the only railroads in the coun try which have not passed to the Rock; Island in the newspapers are the Orient and Mr. Frey's Alaskan line. It is said that Mr. Bryan is willing to let somebody else run for president oa the Democratic ticket in 1904 but re serves the right to try it again in 1908. Hetty Green has offered to erect for Chesterton, Ind., a village of 200 dob ulation, a Masonic hall on the site of the one recently burned. Perhaps the old lady is seeking admission to the order. In the forthcoming volume. Mineral Resources of the United States, 1901, now In press. United States geological survey. Mr. James M. Swank discusses the statistics of tbe American Iron trade for 1901. Mr. Swank states that tbe era of unexampled prosperity in the indus tries of this country, which may be said to have been ushered in at tbe begin ning of 1S99 when an active demand for iron and steel was developed, accom panied by a rising price, has continued front that day to this, and at no time has been more fruitful of good results than at the time of bis writing, ta May. 1902. Tbe use of iron and steel In al most every form increases at a greater ratio than the increase in our popula tion; and the use of steel for high buildings, for the manufacture of steel cars, arid for the construction of steel vessels is sure to call for an increas ingly large tonnage from year ta year. It may be generally known that our steam trolley railroads consume in rails, cars, locomotives, bridges, buildings, and electrical machinery fully one-third of all the iron and atee) that wo an nually make. TRUSTS AND THE PUBLIC The Washington Post la alarmed at what it regards as a growing tendency toward state socialism growing out ot the unrestrained aggressions of the trusts and combines. While many per sons will agree that there is a marked drifting in that direction,, a great many, especially among the Socialists them selves, view the trend with a conside ab degree of complacency and appear contented to await the outcome with out making any pronounced fight to hasten the adoption of their economic views or to restrain the aggregations of wealth, from doing their work for them. The apathy of the labor organizations toward the trusts is so marked that it cannot have escaped the observation of thoughtful and observing people. In an editorial under the caption "It Is the Public's Business," the Post says: The most serious menace held out by monopolistic combinations is their in evitable tendency, in the continued ab sence of wholesome regulation by law, to bring about government ownership and control of transportation, mining, manufacturing and other industries. Id other words, unless means are found and employed by which the rights of the people may be protected against monopolistic aggression, the outcome ot combining will be communism. The Post has never advocated an indis criminate onslaught on the combines ox trusts. They are not necessarily in imical to tne pudjic good. Insofar as they reduce cost of production by dis pensing with superfluities, thev am operating in wholesome accordance with und business policy. That which is. economically right cannot be morally wrong. It is as lawful and' commenda ble to save cost by con bining a hundred industrial plants under one manage ment as it la to effect that object by the use of Improved machinery. It is as lawful to use billions as thousands of dollars. But it is not lawful to shut off com petition in any business. A contract in restraint of trade is held to be in valid because opposed to public policy. A combination that is strong enough to control the prices of commodities comes near enough to Toeing a monopoly to render it amenable to tbe comas oo law against restraints upon trade. One ot the bad habits Into which some of the managers of trusts have fallen is that of speaking contempt uously of the public. An anthracite coal road president recently said: "It is none of the public's business," when asked why tbe coal operators would not consent -to arbitrate. But it is the pub lic's business, nevertheless; and in the end the public will have its righu. Tet that speech of seven words will do more for the advancement of socialism than could be accomplished by a. thousand lectures delivered by the ablest advo cates of that doctrine. It is the pub lic's business to bring all the trusts under the control of Just laws, and that task will be performed. It is the pub lic's business to deprive monopolies of tariff protection which they are abus ing, and that will be done. Public opinion is law in the. United States. And the masses axe beginning to sus pect there is something wrong with a prosperity that increases the cost of liv ing four times as much as it raises wage. THB FALL ELECTIONS. rFrera the Newark News. The present senate consists of eighty eight members, of whom thirty will go out of office on March 4 of next year. Fifty-six of these are Republicans, if one may include in tbe number Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, and Welling ton, of Maryland. As it requires forty six votes to form a majority in a full senate, it is evident that should the Republicans lose six seats their control of the senate vanishes, and herein lies the secret of the great importance which the politicians are ascribing to the fall elections, for upon the complex ion of the legislatures then, to be chosen depends the outcome of the struggle for dominance in the higher house of congress. Of course, any reliable forecast is at present out of the question, but enough has developed to make It clear that the coming battle will be anything but a one-sided affair. Delaware, at present unrepresented in the senate, will prob ably break the long deadlock that has existed there, and the chances are even. The successors to Wellington and Deboe have been chosen, and both are Demo crats. In California, South Dakota, In diana and New York, where senators are to be elected, it is at least possible that the Republicans will be routed, and when these states are figured in with Delaware, it looks as if tbe. Democrats might have most excellent prospects of electing the six senators necessary to place them in possession of their covet ed control in Washington. At the same time Republican inroads upon present Democratic strongholds are far from Improbable. Oregon has already elected a Republican legislature, Kansas seem leaning toward Republi can principles and policies, and there is a drift m the same direction to be ob served in both Washington and Utah. It IB not to be denied, however, that the fight is. close enough to challenge the most vigorous efforts on the part of both tbe great political organizations, and make the coming campaign one of the most spirited of the kind that the country has seen since 1890. It is difficult to hazard a guess as to the outcome o the struggle for mastery in the lo-ver house, although in general it will in all likelihood eventuate much L'as does .the senatorial battle. The mem bership of the house has been increased somewhat, and besides, in nearly every state of the Union there have been so many changes made in the boundaries of the congressional districts that any reliable deduction from present condi tions is practically impossible. Favoring the Democra is is the unaccountable but inevitable- tendency to change party af filiation which, always characterizes the off year, but in general it may be said that the questions dealt with by the present congress have been of such vi tal: and far-reaching interest to the peo ple at large thatthe eomingvote will regis ter their verdict upon national policies much more accurately than, is usual in such elections. And whatever the ver dict, it will hve a very important bear ing upon our history. GLOBS SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. You. never really get through until you die.

Zanzibar is Allowed to Increase Duties on American Goods. Washington, July 28. The United States government has assented to an increase of the duties which may be collected by the government of Zanzibar on American goods entering that country from the present rate of 5 per cent to a rate of lv per cent. The Zanzlbaxtan ports are un der British protectorate and it IS reported that increased revenue from customs is absolutely necessary to maintain the ports and defray local expenses. By an agree ment made at 'Brussels many years ago. the commercial nations agreed to allow the Zanzibaxian government to collect an import duty of S per cent, just aa was done in the case of foreign goods entering China, ana it is this arrangement that it is to be changed. Of course, the consent of the United States Is given with the understanding that the other nations will take the same stand. Furthermore, the new arrangement must he ratified by the senate at its next session. FAST TRAINS TO CHICAGO, New Tors; Central's Express Service Added To. George H.

City Ticket Office. Union Pacific R. B S35 Kansas Ave. PLAY rW POM. That Is What City Officials Are Doing With Bills. Knocking Them From One De partment to Another. TO MAKE A SHOWING Heads of Departments Formu lating Their Reports. Want Them to Be as Favorable as Possible.' In the scramble to make a good show ing for economic administration, the heads of the various departments are playing ping-pong with disputed bills, and accusing each other of trying to help their own expense account b charging up everything possible to some other department. "i didn't use that material m my department. You ought to include it in your estimate." says one official to another. 'You put your O. K. on the bill and it belongs as much to your department as to mine. I won't include it in my esti mate." The result is that the reports and estimates which are being made out for Mayor Parker and the ways and means committee are likely to be dis torted and an ended for tbe purpose of making as good showing as possible for the department represented. City Attorney Spencer says: "The only way for the mayor and the 'com mittee to find out the exact situation is to put one man to work to figure out the whole thing. The various de partments are certain to overlap more or less, and It requires that somebody decide in which department certain bills shall be included. Unless somebody does decide that point, the report: won't be good for much. Now here in our department it hardly looks right that we should be charged up with all the costs in police court and other prosecu tions under the criminal statutes, when at the same time the receipts for fines are credited to the police department But the costs in the criminal and civil cases are still sent to me for O. R. and therefore might be considered part of my report. I confess I don't know how far to go with this report, nor what to include." Street Commissioner Griggs is now working on his report, and expects to have it completed within a few days. Meantime he is devising a scheme te "charge against" the various depart ments the bills which he O. K-ed. but which he thinks rightfully belong to some other branch of the city adminis tration. He will include in his report all tne bills upon which he placed his O. K., but will supplement this with a report on those bills which he claims rightfully belong to some other department. Mr. Griggs" report shows that the cost of running the street department for the fiscal year ending April L 1903, will be within a few dollars of what it was last year. "I have not been able, of course," said Mr. Griggs today, "to give any esti mates on possible work which the coun cil will order me to do. They may or der me to build new bridges, or put In new intersections, or change street grades, and if they do, it will of course add just that much to the cost of run ning the department. I estimate that at the outside, about 129,000 will be requir ed to carry the department through the year. Mr. Griggs' detailed estimate shows the probable expense to be 127,922 for the year. The last fiscal year showed a total expenditure of J27.837.53. The monthly expenditures of Mr. Griggs' department wilt be approxi mately as follows: Labor, $2,200; hard ware, $15; lumber, $20; whitewing Im plements and repairs, $6: brick, $50 stone, $15; blacksmithing, $25; cement, $5; tiling, $17; material for bridge in Auburndale, ordered,. $125. The back charges which Mr. Griggs will make against other departments are as follows: Against the fire de partment, for labor and teams, $275; en gineering; department, labor and mater ial in building catch basins, changing grades and assisting in driving stakes, $300; sanitary department, laborers fur nished, $50; men to take care of auditor ium, $60. There are some receipts In this de partment, which aggregate about $325 a year. They are from the special tax for repairing sidewalk and the charge made for flushing private sewers. Mr. Griggs thinks that his department can be more economically administered by the purchase by the city of a street sprinkler to do the city's work. This will not change the present plan of sprinkling Kansas avenue by the private subscriptions of merchants, but will simply sprinkle the Melan bridge and sprinkler ahead of the street sweepers. The meeting of the ways and means committee to consider the estimates will be held on July 30. Up to the present time only one report has been filed with Mayor Parker. That is the report of the city engineering department which was printed in full in the State Journal last Friday. He Shot Tour Men. Fresno, Cal., Jury 28. In Porterville yesterday James MoKinney ran amuck. He shot out the lights of a saloon and tried to shoot the cards out of the hands of a player. That he only wounded tbe player was due to his poor marksmanship. He then went to a livery stable and de manded a rig. As -his argument was backed up by a six shooter the rig was soon forthcoming; A constable, a deputy and several citizens tried to arrest Mc Kinney, but he opened fire on them, wounding four of them. McKinney then proceeded on his way. Officers from the surrounding country were notified and-a sharp lookout is being kept. McKinney .has served a term in states prison. Two years ago he killed a man in Bakersfield but was exonerated. England and the Shipping Trust. London, July 28. Premier Balfour, in the house of commons today. in xseply to a question in referencfe to the Atlantic ship ping trust, said it was Improbable that the government would be in a position to formulate a statement of its attitude to ward: the trust before the recees of par liament, on August it any agreement was- to be made with the trust involving a financial arrangement, such agreement necessarily would. be subject to the, appro val af the house. Cycle Records Smashed. Newark. N. J.. July 28.-J-robabty the most sensational bicycle riding ever seen in this country was witnessed by about 6.000 people at the Vailsburg traekSunday. World's records' went by the boards hi both: the amateur and professional races. Probably the most remarkable race, of the day came in the ten mile professional and Handicap per Wetmore had so ar ranged the field that the men were kept moving from the firing of the pitoL Ot the forty men who started, twenty-five were left in at eight miles. The riders were In three bunches after going a mile and the back mark men did not catch the leaders until five miles had been traveled. The pace did not slacken to the finish, when W. K. Fenn won by a length and a half in the fastest time ever made In such a competition. His time was S34. Both M. L. Hurley, the national amateur cham pion, anfi Walter Smith broke amateur records. Hurley won the quarter mile race in 2 2-5 seoonda. The best previous time was twenty-nine seconds made by M. CeBey. Walter Smith then Started la to knock out some more records behind motor pace. He used the pacing machines belonging to Mets, which made tne world's record in Brooklyn of a mfle in 1:10. Smith made one mile in 1:26 1-5. and a little later started again and broke all amateur records from one te five miles. The old records held by Joe Nelson were as follows: 1:3V. 1:03 S-S. 4:3C -C, 6:11 1-t and t:4. Snata rede the five miles in 7:18 8-5. TREATY Itl SUSPENSE. Friends of the Panama Canal Route Thoroughly Alarmed. Washington, July 28. Friends of tbe Panama canal in Washington are much concerned over the interview published with Gen. Gabriel Vargas Santos, the accepted leader of the Colombian Lib erals, in which he predicts a continua tion of tbe revolution and a refusal to allow the Colombian congress to meet for the purpose of ratifying a treaty with the United States concerning the Panama canal. In his interview. Gen. Santos explains the reasons for rejecting the peace pro posals made by Dr. Concha, the Colom bian minister at Washington. One of these proposals provided for a general election for members of the congress, with the express object of considering the treaty granting the jurisdiction over the Panama canal strip to the United States. This proposal is rejected, with the others, and Gen. Santos insists that the Liberals are in position to continue the war for another thirty months or longer. It has already been. In pro gress for thirty months, during which time there has been no session of tbe Colombian congress. Kven the most ardent advocates of the Panama canal route here do not profess to believe that the United States will wait 30 months, nor anything like that time, for the purpose of conclud ing a treaty with Colombia. President Roosevelt Is in favor of BDeedv action in closing the negotiations for the canal and it is generally believed that if con ditions are such that a treaty can not be secured promptly with Colombia, ne. gotiations will be renewed with Nica ragua and Costa Rica, under the alter native provisions of the Spooner bilL Thus far the preliminary negotiations looking to the securing of the right of way for the canal over the Panama route have progressed most satisfac torily. Officials of the state department and the department of justice are rea sonably well convinced that tbe French Panama Canal company has authority to transfer its title to the United States, and that there will be no difficulty on that score. These negotiations and in vestigations are well under way. But the most Important feature, the condi tion precedent for the construction of the Panama) canal, is the ratification of the treaty by which the United States secures concessions from Colombia, giv ing this county absolute possession and sovereignty over the canal strip. Dr. Concha, the Colombian minister, re fuses to be discouraged over the state ments of Gen. Santos and insists that peace will soon be restored in Colombia, and that a consrress will be elected in Sep tember that will give prompt and favora ble consideration to the treaty. The Ni caragua minister, on the other hand, is eneouraged to believe that the prolonging of the Colombian revolution will practi cally compel the United States. If a long delay is to be avoided, to abandon the Panama plan and reopen negotiations With Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Four Hurt in a Runaway. Grand Junction, Col., July 28. H. A. Gregory, stock solicitor of the Rio Grande Western Railway company, with headquarters at Salt Lake City, and his three sisters, Mrs. E. G. Morris and Mrs. G. Perry of this city, and Mrs. F. M.

TOPEKA STATE ITOiSfDAY EVEmNO. JtTliY 26, 1C02. 6 POLICE JOTTINGS. Small Policeman Subdues a Very Big Jolntist. Officer Barrett Used His Be rolrer on C. Lawson. OTHER K&EW BETTER. Marion Mull Is H ad Been Thro the Mill. He Meekly Followed Policeman to the Station. "ROUGH HOUSE" la North Topeka furnished about the only real di version of the past Sabbath. It end ed in the mal treatment of a jolntist last night by the smallest copper on the force, Kdwin Bar rett. In the be ginning came two raffed up Individuals. Messrs. Charles Lawson, jolntist, and Marion Mullis, ex bad man. It so occurred that they en tered the little Joint of Mr. Schmidt, ex policeman. Here they proceeded t; roughen the surface of the shack in a most ungentlemanly manner. Hence their arrest by Officers Anderson and Barrett. There was a crowd around the place, and the officers kindly volunteered to vcort the pair across the bridge, Mr. .tnderson accompanied by Mullis and Mr. Barrett by the Jolntist, who, being a large and husky mortal, playfully took a smite at his companion, the small cop, and proceeded to make a. get away. Barrett cast his club and a request to return after Mr. Lawson, who heeded, not, but gamboled Joyously onward Then Barrett ran him down, or.perhaps, ran him up would more properly des cribe the proceeding, and smote him on the frontal bone, coronal suture, pros thion, maxillary, ophryon, and other portions of his upper terminus, with the heavy end of a large six-shooter, held like a hatchet by the officer. It is al leged by some that Barrett found it necessary to climb up the person of Mr. Lawson to commit the assault, ow ing to the size thereof, but the small officer declares that he stood on the ground at the time. Perhaps Mr. Law son obligingly lay down while the op eration was being performed. At any rate Mr. Lawson's friends telephoned this, morning that be waa not able to attend court. Mr. Mullis, who was at one time a Dad man, and was shot in the leg as such by Officer Carl Goff some years ago, came along with Anderson: like a nice man. He was let off with- a fine of five and a promise to leave town. Mr. Lawson will probably get more when he Is able to attend court. This is a system used by the court. When a man is mistreated by a policeman he gets a big- one as dessert, usually hia just desert. Archie Huddlestnne, colored, did, ac cording to the Jail record, get drunk, and while in said state of inebriation, disturb the peace. He will have a hear ing this evening. Omer Parish, kept a large bunch of boose from perishing, and was fined 5 this morning. Marsh Meredith got only $3 for a, little more of the same. Frank Thomas, colored; wore a con cealed weapon. It was very wrong of Frank to- do so. C. Wood was. accused of soaking up some brew. "Smoke" Williams, who was fined $5 Friday for fighting, still refuses to pul verize rocks, and was again cast into the keep, where he dines on a very light diet and is allowed nothing for time. The Jailer says be will spend the rest of his days therein if he fails to change his mind and get busy with the stone hammer. "Smoke" is of a determined disposition so. his chances of immediate liberty are scarce. Chief Donovan has been notified that perhaps a damage suit will be brought against him by the owners of the slot machines which, he kept from earning their board a few days last week. The owners of the machines, a Kansas City firm, see plainly that the mayor and council who were so swift about order ing the chief to seize the machines' in tend to give him no support whatever ia the matter, and consider it a good time to teach the meddlesome police to let their property alone. It really is a shame to rob these out of town gen tlemen of the good Topeka coin which these machines pick up daily. They need the money. Topeka is a good thing, and they intend to work it, knowing that the threats made by the city fath ers to clean the town of gambling de vices are mere vaporings. and that they will do nothing to incur any expense. Mushes and starch? cereals bail fires to baiyJ little Ixxjy S Keeps Bay Ctot an perfectty nourished. If the anti-slot machine ordinance la any good, why doesn't the council back the police in its enforcement T If- it is worthless, take it off the books and try a new one. It seems that the city hasn't the backbone to even test the ordinance. They could easily order the chief to seize one machine, destroy it according to law, and make a test. They can't expect Tim Donovan, who works for a small salary, to experiment on his own hook and possibly pay a large bill for damages. SEAT SALE 0FE5S Tickets Now to Be Had For Band Boasa Concerts. Saturday night promises to be "con cert party night," Judging by the way parties are forming to attend the Banda Rosea concert in the Auditorium on that night. "Line parties" seem to be popular. One crowd of 1 reserved their chairs all in a row when the seat sale opened this morning at Stansfleld's drug store. Another "line party" of eight secured its chairs among the first. There was a strong general sale at the opening this morning. Quite a line formed before the chart when the sale began at 9 o'clock and the demand for tickets continued good all day. The chart will remain at Stansfleld's until late Saturday afternoon. Sorrentino and his red coated musi cians will arrive in Topeka from Den ver at 5:50 Saturday morning over the Union Pacific. After giving the two concerts here Saturday they rtll go to Kansas City and will not play in any other Kansas town besides Topeka. Sor rentino is arranging two big pro grammes for the stay in Topeka. In Denver the band is ranked as the greatest. A newspaper said yesterday: "Thousands who have heard the Ban da Rossa declare that the fascination of its playing increases with each con cert enjoyed. A well known band lead er yesterday said that he had heard ev ery band of national prominence, but avers that Sorrentino's aggregation is far superior to them. 'Sousa's comes next,' said he, "then Bellstedt's, then Gilmore's and then Innes. I think all fair and impartial critics will not dis pute this.'" STATE IS PUZZLED. Case of Nina Dan forth Bothers Massa chusetts Authorities. New York, July 28. The state author ities are puzzled as to a satisfactory disposition of the case of Nina Dan. forth, the deformed girl, who killed A. J. Emery and is now in the Cambridge house of correction awaiting trial, says a Boston special to the Press. Attorney General Parker feels that because of the pitiable circumstances of the case a jury would acquit her. Tet, by her own ad mission and by the testimony of eye witnesses she killed Emery as he stood in the doorway of his home in South Farmingham. It is fear of having a verdict of not guilty which causes the attorney general so much trouble. He is afraid the traditions Of the Massa chusetts courts will be violated by the return of a verdict in direct opposition to the evidence. The authorities are said to have at last reached the conclusion that the best ending of the case would be an arrange ment which the state could accept with out establishing a bad precedent and which would let the girl out of the house of correction under restraint or watch which would not be so close as to threaten her already weak condition of mind. This 'may be accomplished by a verdict of manslaughter with a light sentence from which will be taken the time already spent by the prisoner in the house of correction. NO MAIL FOR R0OSEYELT. The "Sunday" Postoffico at Oyster Bay Sid Not Benefit the President. Oyster Bay, N. T-, July 28. President Roosevelt passed a quiet Sunday at Sagamore Hill.

The postofflce at Oyster Bay was opened for an hour today for the first time on Sunday in the history of the village. The presi dent did not avail himself of the oppor tunity of having his mail taken to him. The opening of the office created a commotion among some of the people of the village-and the Rev.Alexander Rus sell, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, sharply criticised those who in augurated the movement which result ed in the Sunday opening. Senator Thomas C. Piatt will arrive at Oyster Bay next Wednesday even ing on board the yacht Mayflower, which will be sent to New York for him. The senator will be accompanied by Colonel George W. Dunn, chairman of the Re publican state committee of New York. Shot and Killed a Burglar. Butte, Mont., July 28.

Monday, July 7. Dr. T. A. Jaggar of Harvard university, representing the United States geological survey in the West Indies', arrived fof the second time at Fort de France on June 24, and has since visited Mont Pelee twice He has also made excursions to the southern end of Martinique and to the warm springs of the interior of the island. Dr, JaggaT came directly from St. Vincent As a result of recent examinations' of" the crater of Mont Pelee and explora tions of the track of the devastating blast which destroyed St. Pierre, It ap pear? that there is extraordinary sim ilarity between the eruptions of the Soufrlere volcano of St. Vincent- and Mont Pelee. The products are the same, both are characterized by the absence of lava, and the work of destruction both to Inanimate objects' and- to man kind, was accomplished in much the same' way. The destructive effects of the eruption in St. Vincent covered a mueh more extensive area; but tHe lose of human life wae much less. There has been no active eruption of Mont Pelee of importance since7 June 6. A great cone of boulders and vofeane bombs has appeared with in the fissure from Which the explosion came and has grown in size since the middle- of May, whn Dr". Jaggar first saw It Oc casionally there are sodden slide of debris down this-cone in the deep gorge and the Riviere Blanche: These slides produce great columns of brown dust which resembles smoke that riSP ia bil lows from, the mountain's flank and give the Impression of- an eruption when- viewed from- the sear At night these slidings of red hot rocks- make a glowing streak In the mountain dope. This accounts for the many reports by passing vessels of eruptions, hot lava and dust falls. The phenomenon is a merely superficial one. As fit St. Vincent, the many mud spouts, steam Jets and local craters that have been reported are all superficial, caused by rain water draining into the beds of hot, dry gravel. The two volcanoes of St- Vincent and Martinique were 1H" eruption Iri sym pathy in May. Both have gradually become leas active Blnce and it ia preb- SOROSiS; afte they will continue to' diminish in activity to judge by the present signs. On this opinion the French scientific commission, headed by Prof. La Croix of Paris, concurs. Dr. JAggaT is strong ly Opposed, however, to any rehabilita tion of the devastated slopes of the volcanoes until the prospective govern ments of the islands a re willing to estab lish permanent stations to protect and warn the inhabitants. In addition to thts work on the Island of St Vincent, and Martinique, Dr. Jaggar has spent some, time in Barbados collecting in formation and specimens relative to the spread of the dust fall which appears to have been much greater from the Soufrlere than from Mont Pelee. Dr. Jaggar has been in communlca- tlon with both the British and French scientific commissions now at work In the island's. Before returning .to the United States lie plans to visit the northern volcanoes of the Windward group, with a view to Studying th con ditions of vegetation and drainage on such mountains at Pelee, as they were prior to the eruption. irESS BA1X IN TOPEKA, Pall This Tear Not ffp to Normal Tlgfurea, in spite 6t the fact that recently there have been heavy rains In and around Shawnee county the records of the weather bureau rhow that the usual amount of rain has not beeii recorded by Observer Jennings machines.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAU MONDAY ETENING. JULY 28, 1902. ANOTHER ONE. Senator Burton Again Defends His Course in Congress. Says an Effort Was Made to Coerce Lawmakers EXTRA SESSION THREAT Denies President's Power to Convene Special Session. It Was a Threat to Compel Cu ban Legislation, lie Says. Senator Burton delivered another speech defending his position on Cuban reciprocity at Abilene Saturday night, at a public Teception tendered him by the citizens of his home town. The ad dress was largely his Topeka speech in a new dress, but he also advanced some new Ideas in explaining his course. Among other things he aiiegea mai President Roosevelt cannot convene an extra session of congress for the purpose of acting on a Cuban reciprocity meas ure. The proposition to call an-extra ses sion, Senator Burton said, was simply a threat made to coerce congress into legislating on the subject of Cuban re ciprocity. The senator said: "The president, under his oath, cannot call congress in extraordinary session without declaring that an emergency exists, and, of course, that extraordi nary emergency must be in this country not an extraordinary emergency that may exist in another country. To pre tend that there is any extraordinary emergency for calling congress together to legislate upon this subject is a pro position so monstrously absurd that it is strange anyone would make it. Yet, as I said, it was published all over the jountry, and for what purpose? It iould have no other purpose except an effort to coerce congress." The best constitutional lawyers differ from Senator Burton on that proposi tion. They hold that the president alone is the sole judge of when an extra ses sion is necessary. President Cleveland called a special session for the sole pur pose of repealing the Sherman law when half of his own party was vio lently opposed to such action. The con stitution seems to be very specific with ference to the president's power to call congress together in extra session. It Bays: "Article n, section 3. He (the presi dent) shall from time to time give to the congress information of the state of the union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive am bassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed and shall commis sion all the officers of the United States." A considerable number of Republicans from outside of Abilene went to see Senator Burton Saturday regarding the appointment of a successor for L. S. Crum as United States marshal, and these helped to swell the crowd, which filled the local opera house at Abilene. Among the visiting politicians who heard the speech were Congressman Miller, D. W. Mulvane, State Treasurer Grimes, Seth Wells, candidate for state auditor and others. After a few introductory remarks, Sen ator Burton said: Charges have been made that certain senators acted in bad faith with the president respecting this legislation be cause a majority of the senators did not think it wise to report the senate bill at the late session. These charges are absolutely false. Every senator, in my opinion, acted in perfect good faith. A number of the senators w.ere honest ly and earnestly for the proposed sub stitute. From all I eou.'d learn, I do not believe they constituted a majority by any means, but certainly far less than a majority did not think it wise to report the bill with the honest dif ferences of opinion that existed between Republicans respecting It, and also be cause of the honest differences of opin ion respecting the other methods that were suggested for carrying out Cuban reciprocity. INFLAMMATORY NAMES. Again, inflammatory names have been used against the beet sugar senators and insinuations made against some of tne other senators, calling us on the one hand insurgents, boxers, renegades, and accusing some of the others of treach ery. Treachery to whom? Can it be aid that senators are opposing the president, even though they do not sup port some particular recommendation that he might make? Can it be said that senators are treacherous when, in their judgment, the -consideration of a particular measure should be post poned? Is it not the province of con gress to legislate? What is the meaning of these charges? What is their pur pose? Is it not an effort to coerce con gress? They say that Cuban reciprocity was McKinley's policy. In the sense in which this is used, I deny it. They say this is Roosevelt's policy. In the Bense in wnich it is used, I deny that. True, President Roosevelt is. and oer- ihaps McKinley was, in favor of estab lishing reciprocal trade relations with Cuba. MORE EXPLANATIONS. But neither McKinlev nor President Roosevelt had a- policy, in the sense which this word is used by the other side. jNobody ever heard of a McKin ley policy until after he was dead.. No body ever talked about Garfield's pol icy, or Grant's policy, or Lincoln's pol icy. Thhose great presidents never at tempted to coerce congress. McKinley recommended free trade with Porto Rico and said It was our plain duty. In the face of his recommendation congress established a tariff. Did anybody say that congress had turned McKinley down in not carrying out his recom mendation? Did anybody say that con gress was treacherous to McKinley when they did this? The only presi dents who ever had policies were Grover Cleveland and Andrew Johnson. They undertook to coerce congress. President Roosevelt has not had and does not have any such policy, and it is placing him in a false light before the country to be constantly harping upon "Roosevelt's policy's and constantly talking about treachery to the presi dent. These people would have you be lieve, if we are to judge them by their talk, that President Roosevelt favored some particular bill. That is not true. He favored Cuban reciprocity and left to congress entirely the method of car rying that out. There is an honest dif ference of opinion among the members of congress as to the best method to be adopted. They go so far as to say they deprecate the charge that has been made that the proposed senate com mittee bill, if passed, would inure to the fceneflt of the sugar trust. Every body knows that the sugar trust was Inter- ested in the proposed legislation. Everybody knows that the price of the stock of the sugar trust went up as the news would go from Washington that a particular bill was likely. to pass, and that it went down when the news was the other way. The sugar trust, seizing upon the sympathy that was widespread for Cuba, undertook to shape this legislation. Some of u thought that the senate committee bill was what the sugar trust wanted. Other senators, just as honest, believed that it would not inure to the benefit of the sugar trust. Many senators be lieved .that the rebate plan was the better one. Other senators, with the president, thought that this plan was of doubtful policy. Because the sugai trust was trying to shape this legisla tion for its own benefit is no reason whatever for charging the president with being in league with the sugar trust, because he was honestly in favor of Cuban reciprocity. Indeed, the presi dent is on record the other way. After the senate committee bill had been published and its every provision known by everybody, the president sent a special message to the senate and in it used the following words: "Objection has been made to the granting of the reduction on the ground that the sub stantial benefit would not go to the ag ricultural producer of sugar, but would inure to the American sugar refiners. In my judgment, provision can and should be made which will guarantee us against this possibility." What is the-meaning of these words But one interpretation can be placed upon them. The proposed bill was known and yet the president says "provision can and should be made which will guarantee us against this possibility." If the bill as proposed did guarantee us against this possibility, the president's words have no meaning whatever. On the contrary, the president was anxious that some provision should be made that was not the in the bill, guaranteeing us against this possibility. Now, when it is remembered that we had to promise, if that bill was reported to the senate, that we would vote for it without any amendment, is it any wan der in the face of the admonition of the president respecting the sugar trust, that we said. No? Is it any wonder that, with this difference of opinion among senators, a large majority reach ed the conclusion that it was wise for this measure to go over? A WORD TO REPUBLICANS. Now a word to the Republicans of Kansas respecting this matter. When ever you find a politician who is trying to breed a disturbance within the Re publican ranks respecting this matter and is charging bad faith to those who do not aeree with him. call him down. This is a matter for Republicans to set tle without passion or prejudice. Some of us believe that the sacred principle of protection is about to receive an in jury. Some of us believe that a wrong principle of reciprocity is about to be established as a precedent, a reciprocity that is Democratic and not Republican. We are honest in this conviction. Oth ers, just as honest, belieye that the prin ciple of protection is not threatened and that there is no danger of establishing antagonism between reciprocity and protection. Let us calmly consider this question, knowing full well all the time that we cannot hope for any aid or as sistance from Democrats. They want a reciprocity that will do away with pro tection and all Republicans, in my opin ion, when they understand themselves, want reciprocity like that given us by the great Blaine a reciprocity that will aid protection, a reciprocity that is to be the servant of protection. COULDN'T CALL A SESSION. I ask the Republicans of Kansas to put aside all these opprobrious epithets and not allow the issue to be clouded by calling it "Roosevelt's reciprocity" or "McKinley s reciprocity, for we know that these great men may be misrepre sented. We know they have been mis represented. Let me give you one strik ing Instance. It was published far and wide that, if congress adjourned with out passing a reciprocal bill for Cuba. the president would immediately call congress in extra session and hold it there until it did legislate upon this sub ject. The president, under his oath, cannot call congress in extraordinary session without declaring that an emergency exists, and.of course, that extraordinary emergency must be in this country, not an extraordinary emergency that may be in another country. To pretend that there is any extraordinary emergency for calling congress together to legis late upon this subject is a proposition so monstrously absurd that it is strange anyone would make it. Yet, as I said. it was published all over the country, and for what purpose? It could have no other purpose except an effort to coerce congress. Let us be wary of misrepresentations of the president. His great name car ries with it almost unlimited power.and should not be used carelessly as a patent medicine vendor uses his alleged testi monials. SUNDAY KANSAS RAINS. AT ABILENE. Heavy rains have fallen over central Kansas Saturday night and Sunday and the farmers are satisfied that corn is certain to make the largest crop in the history of this section of the state, even with no more rain during the growing season. AT READING. A severe storm of wind and rain pass ed over this section of the country at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, breaking trees and awnings and blowing down corn badly. The rainfall amounted to more than an inch. AT VALLEY FALLS. A splendid rain fell in this vicinity Sunday afternoon and night. The oat and wheat harvest is about over and the rain will do immense good to the corn, jercerson county has good pros pects for the greatest corn crop ia her nistory. AT JUNCTION CITY. More than an inch of rain fell here Sunday afternoon and the downpour ex- tenaea over all portions of the county. For nearly a week the country had been very dry, and corn, grass and forage were greatly in need of moisture. Sat urday night a good rain fell. Corn nev- ed looked better. AT WELLS VI LLT3. Saturday and Sunday rains have ad ded materially to the prospects for an excellent corn crop, even without furth er rain. In 1900 the last rain fell July 5 and corn made its best yield for years. It is well advanced this year Very little will be cut for fodder, the farmers finding that they will have plenty of hay to carry them through. Blue grass has turned out well and the fields will be utilized for pasture. It is estimated that 4,000 acres of blue grass was harvested in this vicinity, the yield running from ten to twenty-five bushels to the acre. Probably 30 cars will be shipped from this place, as against nan a dozen in ioi. Miners Sail from Nome. Tacoma, Wn., July 28. The steamer Dis covery has sailed from Nome with nearly 160 American miners engaged by the Northeastern Siberian company, to begin the exploration of the Siberian coast for gold and other metals. They are in charge of John Rosen, managing director or the company which holds the eon cess sions granted last winter by the Russian government to Col. vv onlarlarsky of the Russian army. They will go direct to St. Lawrence Bay, opposite Cape Prince of Wales. SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES. Stockton is to, have her fourth news paper. D. J. Green, a young colored man. Is said to be responsible for it. The paper beforehand is said will have pronounced independent political views. II one can believe the Colby Free Press, a radical Populist organ, it would appear that about all the Populists of Thomas county are "suggested" as candidates for office. While the editor is out his five dol lar announcement fee, he mentions five persons for the legislature, three for treas urer, four for clerk, eight for sheriff, five for register, four for surveyor, four for superintendent, three for county attorney and three for commissioner. The present incumbents for the offices of district clerk and probate judge have no opposi tion in their party. Henry R. Honey, of the Populist Man- kato Advocate, doesn't like the way Go- mer Davies, of the Populist Concordia Kansan, is doing, and reads him a short lecture as follows: "You ean bet your last four bit piece that the paper which flops -from the Populist or Democratic ranks into the ranks of the G. O. P. just at this time has never been edited by a Populist or Democrat." And now the Populists of the Thirty- fourth judicial district are going to see that Judge Chas. W. Smith has opposi tion, "just for party sake," and they will nominate Hoyt Andrews, of Sherman county, or Selden G. Hopkins, of Sheridan county, to make the race," when they in fact almost admit that Judge Smith will carry all five of the counties in the dist rict. J. R. Connelly, of the Colby Free Press, Is chairman of the Populist Judicial committee. Some of the papers of Smith county don't like the straight Democratic tick et which was nominated in that county a few days ago. The Smith Center Messen ger calls it a "side show, and the Ken sington Mirror alludes to it as the work of "insurgents." Rev. W. K. Loofbourow, editor of the Atwood Citizen. Republican, Is claimed to be the nerviest editor in the district He attended the Republican committee meeting of Rawlins county, and just be fore adjournment he invited all the candi dates to whack up their five dollars for announcement in the Citizen. Several of the candidates nominated on the straight Democratic ticket in Smith county have withdrawn. Russell J. Har rison, who was nominated for the legisla ture, promises to make the race, and will peak in every township in Smith county. A prominent Jewell county opunst. who voted for Dr. Dykes for congress two years ago, says: "If the Tully Scott-Jim Fike Democrats thought Reeder was all right two years ago," for one this promi nent Populist now thinks "Reeder is all right for two years longer." The Socialists of Mitchell county have called a mass convention for Beloit, Aug ust 9, for the purpose of putting in the field a county ticket. The "call" is signed by twenty-four citizens of the county. It contains such names as Slater White, one of the commissioners of the county, Chas. B. Lowry, a heretofore prominent Popu list, Matt. Thompson, Thos. Hill, J. X. Barnes, Joseph Wear, and many other prominent names. Dr. H. B. Brothers, of Agra, is often mentioned for the fusion nominee for the legislature in Phillips county. If the people of Norton county want to see a brisk, political fight for the legisla ture let them nominate J. C. Darling on the fusion ticket," said a prominent citi zen of Norton. During the week of the Norton county fair politics will cut a wide swath. Sep tember 3rd will -be known as Republican day, when W. J. Bailey, Chester I. Long and other well known Republicans will be present. September 4th will be desig nated Democratic day, arid Chas. M. Saw yer, chairman of the Sixth district Dem ocratic committee, says he is going to have Craddock, Harris, Duvall, Botkinand and others if he can get them. The Prai rie Dog valley will be full of political en thusiasm on these days. There is a three-cornered fight for the Republican legislative nomination in Thomas county.- Dr. Wm. M. Beaver and Judge M. L. Lacey are supposed to be for Curtis for United States senator, while Henry Franklin is being groomed by the supporters of Long. Both factions have ardent friends and supporters. Since the Beloit Chautauqua is over for 1902 the politicians there can now come to Topeka and see how the political tide is ebbing and flowing. Mead, Mitchell, Jer mark. Perdue, Dodge and Young make a combination hard lo break. Since John Dawson, bond clerk in the office of the state treasurer, has pur chased Topeka property his Graham coun ty friends are inquiring around whether this will take him out of the column of possible candidates for congress in the Sixth district in 1904. H. P. Andrews, an old Sixth district boy, and who did such good service for Phillips county when he was in the leg islature, is visiting friends in Logan. Mr. Andrews now makes his home in Wash ington, where he has a good situation in one of the government departments. d kbgit-f ,Iba KING EDWARD Vll AND HIS ROYAL WIFE. I ;i y t V j) I iX" rfWHf I t..

Searching parties sent out in every direction have scoured the woods and ravines but have failed to secure a clew. Whether the guard has deserted with his prisoners, or whether the sentry was overpowered by his charges and lies in some deserted spot, gagged and bound, or' perhaps murdered, is a matter of con jecture, although trustworthiness of the soldier is ground for the belief that an encounter occurred. BELL BUILDS AN AIRSHIP. Inventor of the Telephone Soon to as... Spring a Surprise. Baddeck, Cape Breton, July 28. An airship which is expected to prove a success will make its first appearance in this vicinity, in the near future. Alexander Graham Bell of Bell tele phone fame is the inventor and per sonally is building or supervising the construction of the flying machine. The aerial craft now nearing comple tion is the result of years of study and work by Prof. Bell,-and represents the expenditure of many thousands of dol lars. While every effort has been made to keep secret not only the details of the construction of Mr. Bell's airship but even the fact that such a machine is being- built, some few points regarding the craft have been discovered. The machine, which- is 20 feet in length. Is composed of 75 distinct Darts. ix is ceuea internally witn canvas ana in places with linen stretched on piano wire. Five miles of this wire were used in the construction of the airship. une principles of the kite will be utilized to a considerable extent in this machine, which is to carry human rreignti mis means that the aeroplane system, not used in any of Santos-Du- mont s airships, will be a feature of Prof. Bell's machine. While no one around here has been taken into the confidence of Prof. Bell, all have faith in him, and the belief is he would not proceed with the work of building his flying machine unless he was absolutely certain of success. The telephone is pointed to as proof that Prof. Bell will triumph in his present field of science. For years Prof. Bell has spent his summers here at his summer residence just across Baddeck harbor, on a height overlooking the scenic Bras d'Or, the finest sheet of water in eastern Canada. During these frequent and lengthy vis its" Prof. Bell has devoted much time to the study of kites and their habits, he having constructed and experiment ed with more than 150 kites of ail sizes and shapes. Just what Prof. Bell hopes to ac complish is not certain, but those who know him insists "he intends to outdo Santos-Dumont in the conquering of the great problem, and they predict a ma chine ready for a test of mettle with Santos-Dumont's newest air-ship, now building in this country- GATE DAVIS A WATCH.

Common Cause Against America. Glasgow, July 28. PremieV Seddon of New Zealand, in a speech here today, said the colonies had already proved that' they love the motherland by send ing their sons to fight in South Africa. They wished to go further and give the mother country trade preference over other nations, but too much attention was being paid to what continental na tions might think. What the colonies and Great Britain should do was to join In common cause to meet American competition. Should this be done the result need not be feared, said Mr. Sed don, because the Britisll workrrian and manufacturers were unequalled in the whole world. Paris Society's Latest Game. Paris, July 28.

Cables were weaker, both In England and on the continent. Excellent weather was reported from abroad and this country was sub jected to some fairly sharp foreign compe tition. There were a few rains reported, but to general the weather map was not very unfavorable. Movement to this mar ket of much grain caused a very uneasy feeling among the bulls. Wheat was com ing in smothering quantities and the con tract stuff was being turned out heavily by private houses to deliver on July con tracts, thus weakening that future.

On passage breadstuffs de creased 1.776.00O bushels. There was some midday selling In both Julv and September that depressed prices to 73c and 70e for the respective options.

I pelief dot maype his dog vhaa dead, or bis wife avbay Then he says: "Hans, von vhas some Dootchmans, und so vhas me. und I like to speak to you like a brudder." "So you shall," I says, "Does your saloon peesnesS bust oop?" "No; it vhas about my sen Joe. I don't know how I shall do mit him. He get me into some troubles almost eafery day. Do you see my black eye?" "Of course I do. By golly, but some pody must haf hit you mit a house!" "It vhas Joe who vhas to blame," he says, "He comes home one day und lays: 'Fadder, maype some man comes Into our saloon some day und won't go oudt until you gif him a drink. If you fight him-, you vhas a licked man. You hall go und learn to box. If you vhas a boxer, you can knock eaferybody into next week und be all right.' "He speaks to me like dot, Hans, und I belief it vhas a good thing. I gp.es mit him to a boxing school, und be vhas so tickled be laughs all der time. Dot boxing man he says be gifs me sooch a lesson dot in one time I can knock a loafer clear across der street. Maype you don't see somebody box?" "My wife boxes mit me sometimes," I says. "But it vhas no sooch boxing ash dis. I take off my coat und west und collar und put on der gloves.

He vhas playing mit me. Before I could knock him through, the window be strikes oudt so und I see fire und stars und cannon balls und go to sleep. It vhas half an hour before 1 wakes oop, but Joe vhas still laughing. I like to belief be vhas good boy und loves his fadder, but I am sure be paid dot boxing man $2 to knock me oudt. If he didn't, why should he laugh ho! ho! hoi und ha! ha! ha! und roll oafer?' "Und didnt you take but one les son?" "Of corse not Vhas I some idiots?

If your only son do like dot, vhasn't you hurt in your feelings?" "It vhas bad to haf sooch a son," I said "werry, werry bid. Vhas der aomet'ings more?" "Of course." says Mr. Schmidt ash he pegins to feel worse. "One day 1 sees Joe looking at me for a long time, und by und by he has tears in his eyes und shakes his head. I ask him if my brudder-in-law, vhas dead, und he says: ".Fadder, you vhas too fat. If you keep on yeu vhillfall oafer und die. I doan' like to speak about it und make you sad, but something must be done. Too shall go by dot gymnasium und take exercise und be all right again.' "Dot seems all right to Be, Hans, und Joe goes right along, to show me der way. He don't cry any more, but laughs more ash ten times. Vhen we come to dot place, I haf to- take off my coat und west uud practice on a pole. Maype you haf seen dot pole? She vhas high oop. und you haf to shump oop und grab. I shump oop und hump oop, but I don't grab her for a long time. Vhen I vhas hold it, Joe savs I must Dut my less oafer. I shall neffer know how she vhas, but I falls my back und smash der floor und faints, avhay und vhas almost killed. I haf more ash six plasters on my back today und can hardly walk. Vhen I pens my eyes, Joe vhas going ha, ka. hat and ho, ho, ho! und he can't peak to m for fife minutea. I goes tome by aa express wagon for twenty Rf cents, und when. I goes to lick Joe saysr 'Fadder, I haf saved your life. Xou lose more ash f eefty pounds of fat und shall no longer die of apoplexy. Wel come home. You vhas now like some antelope.' "Dot's der vhky he speaks to, his poor old fadder, Hans, und vhat can I do about her?'' "It vhas awful times around," I says ash I feels bad mit him. "I hope he dont do nottings more. "But he does; he does. You knox? I neffer go by sooch places ash horse races, und if Joe goes I gif him some awful lickings. One day ho comes to me und says: 'Fadder, I don't like to scare you, but maype you go Into consumption und vhas In your grave, in three months. You vhas iq der saloon all day und don't get some fresh air. If you vhas to die, I neffer smile again, bet us go by der country und get some fresh air und Uf to be one hoonered years Old. "Vhell, I vhas a leetle scared, und so we got oudt. We ride on der open street ear, und we walk, und by und by we comes to a -place- mit a high fence und lots of peoples going in. I doan' know what she vhas, but. Joe says some horses vhas going to run around a track to keep der flies avhay. He likes me to go in und see it, und I pelief it vhas all right. By und by ten horses vhas brought oudt. I doan' see no flies around, but my eyes vhas poor. I vhas looking all around vhen a man comes oop und say vhas I Pe ter Schmidt? I vhas.

You bet your money on dot last horse.'" "Und did you do dot?" I asks. "Of course. I doan' know nottings, und Joe knows all about her. Yes, I bet on der last horse, und I lost twenty dollars. He doan' come in-ahead by half a mile, 1 like Joe to explain some more, but he shakes all ofer und laughs, ha, ha, ha! und ho, ho, ho! und he can't talk for two minutes. Den he says so many flies vhas on my horse dot he can't run, uud more ash f eefty peoples laugh at me und say I vhas some cabbage heads.

He vhas my son, but if he doan' make fun of me why does he go ho, ho, ho? Very well, I shall go home. Joe vhill come to me und say I shall go mit him to baseball to cure my rheumatism, und I vhill walk him oudt in der back yard und shump him four feet high und laugh ha, ha! ho, ho! und make him carry in two tons of coal to keep some flies off his hat. Hans, we vhad two Dootchmans together und know how she vhas. Goodby, und if you hear -some yells und whoops you may know dot t'ings haf changed und I vhas having fun mit Joe.", HONEST ABE, U& M. Things Continue to Happen Along His Mail Route. (Copyright, 1902, by C. B. Lewis.) I found Farmer Thurston's girl Mary at the mailbox as I drove np the- other day, and as she was looking a bit unhappy I asked her if anything had gone wrong. "Say, Abe, I'm going to do some thing desperate," she replied as the tears came to her eyes. "Shoo! Don't you do It." "But I will. If I don't hang myself, I'll run away with the first, tin ped dler who'll take me. Which do yeu think is the easiest death, hanging or drowning?" "Neither of 'em are half as easy as choking yourself with a green tomato. Now, Mary, out with it. What's your trouble?" "Jim Henderson don't come to see me any more." "Um! Jim has been coming for about a year V "Yes." ."And it was an engagement ."Almost. "And all of a suddeu be stops com ing here and goes over to Joe John son's to see his girl Fanny?" "Y-yes," said Mary as she fell to sobbing. "Hold on, girl. Let's see If there Is anything worth crying about. I've known Jim Henderson for three years, and all he's done to that time was to trade off a blind horse and sell half a dozen washing machines. Jim couldn't raise $20 in cash to save his neck. If he takes a wife, she's got to support him. Did you ever figure on this?" "No." "Jim is a soft, slick talker. He's talked to on about moonlight, water falls, asure skies, babbling brooks and all that, hasn't he?" "Yes, Abe, he has. and that's what got me to loving him." "I thought so. You want to remem ber, however, that a dozen eggs go further than twenty azure skies and that one pound of pork beats a dozen waterfalls.. You are a chunk of a girl with a good appetite, and the babble of a babbling brook don't soothe a wife to sleep. Love is all right, my dear. but there must be pork and taters be hind it. Where's Jim going to get 'mr I never thought of that," she says as she wipes the tears away. "Jim talked of love, and yeu listened. but if you had asked him to spell the word be couldn't hava don it. Ha spells hog with two as, rooster with, one o, and, he doesn't try to spell horse at all. You didn't kn,ow this, did you?" "N-o." "t thought not One of his babbling brooks would drown him before he could; hit upon the proper way to spell pork. I know the family. His father is bowlegged, his mother squint eyed, and his sister has s, harelip. Jim him. self Is getting badbeaded and has a "ABB, I'VE BEEN A GOOSE." twitch to his right leg. Lordy, girt, but how could you be so blind? You've had the escape of your life, and you ought to be singing songs of thank fulness. Just shut your eyes and bring a picture of Jim before you and tell me if he hasn't got the look of a hyena on wheels." "Abe, I I guess I've, been a silly girl," says Mary as she cries and laughs by turns. "Of course yoq have. All girls are silly sometimes. A man who don't know whether the world turns round six or sixteen times a day has talked azure skies and babbling brooks to you, and you have fallen in love with him. Fie on you. girl! You ought to be glad he's taken himself off." "And I am. I hope never to see him again. Abe, I've been a goose, but there'll be no more of it. I'll go in and go to churning and singing, and be fore night I'll try to forget all about Jim Henderson. You are a dear, sweet man, and if you'll hold down here I'll" "And here's one for you," says I. and as she ran for the house with both cheeks blushing like roses I drove on. There was no one at the gate as 1 drove up to the Widow Danvers, but one of her daughters beckoned me from the front door. It was Sue, and I found Kate and Sarah inside with the mother. It was easy to see that all of them had been crying and scold ing. "Abe, It's Just this way," began the widow after I had had glass of milk and a piece of pie. "Mr. Bur banks has asked me to marry him. You know him, and you know he's a good man. He's been a widower this long time, but he's decided to get married again." "But ma is most sixty-eight years old!" exclaimed Sue. "And he's most sixty-five!" adds Kate. "And they are both ready for the gravel" says Sarah. "But he don't want to marry no friv olous girl, and I don't want, to marry no silly young man," says the widow. "Uncle Jake will be a good husband to me and a good father to these girls." "He'll never be no father to me!" "Nor meP' "Nor me!" "You see how it is, Abe, and what shall I do? My girls don't want to see me happy. Uncle Jake and I have loved each other for years past, and now" "You ought to be ashamed of itl" "So you had!" "Did I ever!" "Girls," says I, aa I takes a minute to think things over, "love is love. It comes to the youth sitting on the fence and to the old man on crutches. You can't dodge it. Uncle Jake Bur banks it. in love, and your mother Is in love, and" "And so are we!" chorused the three girls. "Kate,- ean you get married?" "Yes, sir; within a week. "And Sue? J'Within three days." "And Sarah?" "Tomorrow." "Then get up and do It. You are all old enough and big enough and hand-, some enough, and there might as well be four marriages as one. I'll stop and see Uncle Billy Post, the justice of the. peace, and I reckon he'll marry the four of you at once and take $2 for the job." "I never thought of it," says the wid ow, "but I don't see why" "Nor I," says Sua. "Nor I," says Kate. "Nor L" says Sarah. "Then bless you, my children, and may bar' la ot happiness ever be roll ing np and -down hill In front of your peaceful homes." And they were locked in each oth er's arms and weeping for Joy as I drove on. DOLBY'S TALKS. She Qas Things to Say to the Deacon, but He Takes Them Calmly? (Copyright, 1902, by C. B. Lewis.) Deacon Dolby was cutting weeds in the back yard and had taken a seat on the wash bench to rest his back when Mrs. Dolby quietly appeared with a lap full of carpet rags to be rolled into a ball and settled herself beside him and said: "Deacon Dolby, X should like to have a few' words with you this afternoon If you don't mjn4. It will bo paiaf ul to me, but I am, a, woman who knows her duty and does it. Last Tuesday yoq went up to the graveyard along with, others to see about fixing the, fence. While you were there a man came along on a bik and dared you to ride it. Instead of turning your back pa that man with dignity, what did you do? I know. It's all over town. You made a spectacle of yourself. You spent half an hour fllpflopping around. That bike threw you on your back, on your head and on your ear, but you wouldn't give up trying to ride it until you were almost dead. When you came home that evening, you were white aa chalk and could hardly scuff your feet, and I doctored you for cholera morbus. Deacon Dolby on a biket Deacon Dolby being pitched head over heels and landing on bis ear! Deacon Dolby making a show of himself for the amusement of a dozen men! What have you got to say for yourself?' The deacon picked up the bung of the vinegar barrel that had been left on the bench by accident and became deeply interested in its structure, and, though Mrs. Dolby awaited a full two minutes, he made no answer to hex question. "There was a man putting up light ning rods on the schoolhouse last week," she continued, "and the day I sent you to the store for a spool of red thread you went around by the school house and stopped there for an hour to listen to the man. He was telling a crowd of idlers that he didn't be lieve the world was created in six days and that it- was all nonsense about the garden of Eden and Noah's ark. You knew from the first that he was an atheist and a bad, bad man and yet you hung on and hung on and listened to his talk. Folks who saw you- there said you looked as if you enjoyed it, and I kxiow that when you finally came back with the thread you didn't look at all as if you believed that it rained for forty days and nights.. If anybody had told me that you would listen to an atheist, I should have fainted away, but it's true that you did. Have you got any ex cuses for your conduct?" The deacon had a dozen,, the chief one being that the lightning rod man was a good talker, but he laid down the bung to pick up an old case knife and. wonder how the handle got off and became so absorbed In bis thoughts that he forgot to reply. Mrs. Dolby wound up about fifty feet of the cloth strip and then, stopped to sayr "I wanted a quart of molasses a few days ago to make some molasses cake. You took the jug and Went down to the store. On the -way back the han dle of the Jug came off. and the jug fell on the sidewalk and broke in two and wasted all the contents. I don't say anything about the accident. We all know that jug bandies are liable to come off any day in the year. I don't THAT BIKE THREW YOU ON YOUR BACK." say anything about the molasses being wasted. If the jug busted, it was bound to waste. But what I do say, Deacon Dolby, and what I can prove by Mrs. Gay lor "who stood at her gate, is that when that jug, dropped- you kicked the piece off. the sidewalk and yelled out something. She .wouldn't tell me what It was, and I dasn't try to Imagine. But you can't blame me if I g to bed- at night wondering if I will be spared, to. see daylight. If a just possible that you didn't say any thing but 'Sugar!', or 'Pshaw!' and that Mrs. Gaylor didn't hear aright, but you must look me In the eyes if you want me to-believe you." The deacon's eyes didn't seek hers. Oa the contrary, he kept his fastened on a bluejay that was hopping about on the branches of a cherry tree, and a,, grim smile: passed over bis face, as some recollection came to his mind. "Then Mrs. 'GaylM was right," con tinued, Mrs.. Dolby after a painful. si lence,, "and J. am justified in my fears that I may be murdered in my bed. Swearing and. murder always- go. to-' gether. Captain Kidd never turned, pirate until af tar he learned to swear. These things may .seem; enough, dea con, but I've got more-.to telL When yoa was shingling the Smokehouse three weeks, ago, I went--over to see Mrs. Hopkins -one afternoon. While 1. was- gone'.-jotj slid 'tr the t?oaf and. fetched up on an old barrel with a crash. You was stunned" and. didnt say anything tor' five minutes. Then, you got up and kicked the smokehouse doorf off its" binges, and" said youd you'd But I can't repeat it You was beard by three innoeent boys; and, though- they. told. me what the word was,, they didn't know the meaning of it. Yes, yon kicked and. yelled: and kicked, and if L-had been home I know I should have had one of my fainting spells. Deacon Dolby, Is it possible that after being a shining example for the last thirty-five years you are going to break loose and do some awial damage? Do you feel Satan is' egging you- oa an getting the best of you? Has that liver lnvigorator -made you wicked and reckless?" The- deacon laid, down the knife n4 took up the bung again, and he left off watching the bluejay to-watch a hen pick the bugs off the tomato plant. In his, interest in- these things, be neg lected to make plain what he really did say as he kicked the smokehouse door. Mrs. Dolby gave him at least two minutes and then said: "Only yesterday- you were splitting wood out here. I heard the ax going, and all of a sudden I heard you, yell out. When-1 got to the door, your ear was bleeding, and you was start ing to wash the blood off. Three of my 1 biggest hollyhocks had been kicked up by the roots, and I do declare that there was a smell of sulphur in the air. Deacon, did you say anything when that stick of wood flew up? If so, what was It? I am not goingto say you did or you didn't but leave It all to you. You've become awful reckless of late, and I don't know what the end will be, but I don't think you will lie about it. Toll me if you said anything and tell me why you jumped around and uprooted the hollyhocks." For half a minute the deacon seemed inclined to make an explanation, but on a second thought ho decided not to. The hollyhocks still lay there aa wit nesses against him. and the cut oa the lobe of hia ear was a living witness against him. Mrs. Dolby wound the. strips and waited, and waited, and. by and by be got up, stretched hia arms and said: "I guess I'll cut the rest of them plaguy weeds and then take my boots down to be fixed." "Do you you feel wicked and reck less?" she anxiously asked, "Not pertickler," he slowly replied, "but if any of them pesky bens git in the way of this scythe they'll lose their their blamed, legs!" There Was No Foreclosure. "I wanted to, see a man living a few miles outside of a North Dakota town," said a Philadelphian. who had just re turned from a western trip, "and so I engaged a man to drive me out there in a buggy. He seemed to be full of curiosity concerning my identity and my errand, but be did not get much out of me. We had come to within a mile of the bouse when be pulled up his horses and got down and said: 'I guess you'd better walk the rest of the way, and if I were you I'd bave my guns ready." 'But why should I walk?" I asked. 'Because l don't want to get shot or have one of the horses killed.' 'I don't understand why anybody should shoot at us.' 'Then you don't know Jim Denison. He'll spot you three-quarters of a mile off, and he'll shoot to make every bullet count. You'd better creep along with your guns ready and get the drop oa him if you ean. It's no boy's job to tackle Jnm on his own land, and if he does for you I don't know how I'm to get your body into the buggy. 'Just what do yon take me for, any way? I asked of the driver as I turned on him. 'Why, I figger that you are one of them money lenders from the east who have come out here, to foreclose on Jim's farm, and I'm telling you that be keeps two shotguns and both load ed, and if you are not prepared to die we'd better take this crossroad and give you a chance to talk with a preacher about the future of your soul before you come within gunshot of Jim.' "I stated my errand," explained the traveler, "which had nothing to do with mortgages, and after scratching bis ear for awhile the driver got up and took the lines and said: "Well, that may be all right, but if you happen to forget yourself and speak of 8 per cent to Jim may the Lord bave mercy on your aouir The Postmaster Was Cautious. I was expecting a letter at a Dakota postofflce, and when I went to inquire for It I found the postmaster to be doubtful of my Identity. "Sure you're the man?" he asked. "Of course." "Willing to make affidavit to it?" am." "Not after- any one else"-letters?' "No; sir."'," V "Willing; to awear and sign your name?" "I told you I was." "Where would the letter, be from?" he continued.- s...- "Boston, perhaps." j -"And written to yeu?"- "Certainly. You seem to be over particular here."

TOPEKA STATE JOtTRNA.1V MONDAY EVENING. JULY 28, 1902. 8 PUT ON RECORD. Candidates for County Attorney Tell Where They Stand. Mr. Nichols Will Do as He Has Done. SCHENCK'S FIRM STAND Would Make Special Effort to Enforce Prohibitory Law. Mr. Stebfoins Explains Definitely His Position. lA.t the request of the State Journal the three candidates for county attor ney have made a written etatement o what they intend to do should they be elected at the November election. Galen Nichols is the nominee of the Republicans and seeks a second term, J. J. Schenek is the nominee of the Democrats and L. A. Stebbins, a Pop ulist, is the nominee of the independent forces. Each candidate was asked to make a written statement of what he intended to do if he is elected to the office of county attorney. NICHOLS WILL KEEP IT UP. Galen Nichols, present county attor ney and candidate for re-election on the "republican ticket, made the following statement: "I have tried to perform the duties devolving upon a county at torney in the past and if re-elected wiH endeavor to do the same in the future." MR. SCHENCK'S PROMISE. J. J. Schenek, the Democratic nomi nee for county attorney, made the fol lowing statement: "I will use every honest means to en force generally and particularly every law on the statute books. I will not attempt to decide whether the prohibi tory law, or any other law, is the best law that could be enacted upon the sub ject, but if the prohibitory law is vio lated, as it is now, more than any other law, I will make a special effort to enforce it. I believe that law can be enforced and that it is the sworn duty of the county attorney to enforce it. "If elected to the office of county at torney I will perform all of my duties as such officer without fear or favor, and it will not be necessary to appoint an assistant attorney general to per form my duties for me." MR. STEBBINS IS POSITIVE. L. A. Stebbins, the nominee of the In dependent forces for the office of county attorney, made the following state ment: "I cheerfully comply, with your re quest. A public officer should be liter ally a servant of the people. An election is a contract of employment, and no body of intelligent voters will employ a man to render a public service, who is afraid to state fully, pointedly and def initely, what service he proposes to ren der if elected. "I will begin my statement of what I will do, by stating some things that I isvill not do. (1) "I will not interpret my oath of omce to read as follows: 'I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitu tion of the United States and the con stitution of the state of Kansas, and faithfully discharge the duties of the office of county attorney, except such parts of the constitution of the state of Kansas as I may for reasons which seem to me sufficient, nullify, set aside and hold for naught. So help me God.' (Z) "1 will not spend any of the time belonging to the county in inventing glittering generalities, high sounding phrases, plausible excuses, or ingenious devices, to evade the performance of my duty in any respect whatsoever, or with reference to any law whatsoever, as such duty is denned by the constitu tion and the laws of the state. (3) "I will not be a party either direct ly or indirectly, openly or tacitly to any plan, shift, device, or scheme to nullify and set aside the prohibitory liquor law, or any other law to be. found in the constitution and statutes of the state. (4.) "I will not by refusing to perform a part of the duties of the office of county attorney render it necessary for the attorney general to appoint an as sistant attorney general for this county, thereby compelling the county to pay 5475 for the services of such assistant, and putting it in danger of being com pelled to pay thousands of dollars more for like services of such assistant. (5.) "I will not attempt to combine the legislative and executive functions of government by determining as does the czar, what shall, and what shall not. be law, while I am at the same time acting under an oath to enforcethe laws as found in the constitution and sta tutes. "I deny utterly the right, either legal or moral, of any public officer thus to combine legislative, and executive func tions. It is indefensible whether viewed from the legal, the ethical, or the prac tical point of view. As a matter of law, such conduct constitutes perjury, as be ing in violation of one's oath of office. As a matter of ethics, it may be said that it violates every rule, which by common consent has come to be the ethical standard of official action among right thinking people the world over. As a matter of policy, it my be said that it leads to favoritism of the most pernicious type in the administration of the law, and a strange admixture of despotism and anarchy. Sooner or later a time arrives in any community thus governed when a favorite class of crim inals come to the front as the controlling factor in public affairs. This favorite class may operate joints, gambling houses, houses of prostitution and the like usually for a consideration paid, whereas others may not. The law be comes an engine of oppression, a club, A Piano of High Character There is safety in a famous piano name, if the reputation of that name has been, and is now, consistently lived up to, if those who made the name famous are yet guarding Its honor. The first VOSE piano was made by James W. Vose fifty-one years ago. He is yet making the Vose piano, with the improvements learned by a half century of daily experience added to it. In its manufacture he Is assisted bythree sons and two grandsons, each-brought up in the bus iness, each having given his life to the art of piano making. The VOSE family cannot afford to risk the value of this great trade name by making anything short of the best. The VOSE family has made and sold in the last ten years more pianos than In the forty-one preceding years. Thoughtful, careful, critical examination of the 1902 VOSE piano will satisfy the most skeptical of lt3 superior material, construction and consequent tone and durability. We extend a cordial invitation to all-to come to our store to examine and learn how easily and economically you can own one of these superior pianos sold under the Jenkins plan. J. W. JENKINS' SONS MUSIC CO. 1013-1015 Walnut Street. Kansas Gty, Mo. to be used to create a syndicate, or 'trust in the commission of crime which respects no law except greed. In the process of time so-called good citizens cower and cringe In the presence of. and fawn upon the bosses who control the syndicate of crime, which in turn governs the community by grace of the executive officer or officers who elect to abdicate in favor of the unofficial, irresponsible and highly dangerous dis penser of the privileges to commit crime. But this is not all. Such criminal boss is usually but the local and visible rep resentative of some foreign power, like a non-resident brewer who really governs the community. "Much has been said about public officers not being able to do their duty where public sentiment is adverse, but it is about time to say a word about the duty of public officers to stimulate a healthy public sentiment by letting it be known in no uncertain manner that their sympathy, influence and official conduct are on the side of obedience to law. Official conduct is the most po tent factor In the community in mould ing public sentiment for good or evil. (6.) "I will not make a 'hobby of the enforcement of the prohibitory law, or any other law. I will not give any greater attention to the prohibitory law than to the other penal laws of the state unless, by reason of Its more fre quent violation such greater attention becomes necessary to secure the equal and uniform enforcement of all of the laws of the state; but, (7) "I will not use the statement just made (6) as an excuse or cloak to cover a violation of my oath of office with reference to the prohibitory law. "So much for what I will not do. Now a word as to what I will do, (1) "I will take the constitution and statutes as my guide to the duties im posed on the county attorney, and will to the very best of my ability, and with all the energy that I can command, dis charge each and all of such duties. (2.) "The foregoing 1) includes a prom ise, and I ,do hereby solemnly promise, if elected county attorney at the ensuing election to enforce, to the best of my abil ity, the prohibitory liquor law, laws against gambling and the other laws that are now most frequently violated, equally with the other laws of the state." A PANTHER AT LARGE. He Breaks Up a Picnic in the Bronx Park. New Tork, July 28. After gnawing its way out of a wooden box in the Zoological Garden in Bronx park, a young panther, just arrived from Mexico, walked up to a picnic party of women and children and, astonished by their panic, jumped over their heads into a tree and has since led keepers and other hunters a weary chase through the Bronx park jungle. The panther is a fine specimen, 18 inches high at the shoulders, five feet long, and weighs forty-five pounds. He was ship ped from Mexico In a pine box, with slats. To render the possibility of its escape more difficult the panther was chained to the inside of the crate, a heavy collar be ing fastened about his neck, to which the end of the chain was tied. When the crate arrived at the Zoological park it was de posited near the reptile house pending the establishment of its occupant in regular quarters. The keeper having removed one of the slats and unfastened the animal's collar, left the crate unguarded for a time. The panther lost no time in attacking with teeth and claws the soft slats which stood between him and liberty.' The park was well filled with sightseers when the ani mal escaped. Cunningly avoiding the open walks by keeping closely to the bushwood, which in places is very dense, he succeed ed in escaping from the zoological reser vation, and passed into a densely wooded portion of the park. Then the escape was discovered. Six keepers, with shotguns and nets, started out to capture the fugi tive, with directions to shoot only if it ap peared necessary. Through the heavy brush the little posse made its way north ward but four hours passed before any trace was found. About a mile north of the museum, a party of thirty children out picnicking saw the panther emerge from a thicket. It ran toward them and they fled. On one occasion he wandered up to a tablecloth upon which a luncheon had been spread and quickly devoured the meal Sightseers made their way from the park but nly fleeting glimpses of the animal were obtained, although the hunt was kept up until night. The park authorities say the panther Is not vicious and that it probably will be shot by some one living near the scene. PLAYED HE WAS TRACY. Foolhardy Act of a Seattle Man Nearly Costs Him His Life. Seattle, "Wash., July 28. William JNixon, a suspicious character, tried to win a woman's affections in the guis of Outlaw Tracy, and is nearly dead as the result of his foolhardy act. Ho told an actress in a music hall that he was none other than the famous des perado and threatened her life if she told. He made her buy him drinks and promise to supply him with money. Saturday night when he entered the theater he was attacked by a rjoliceman and the proprietor. Joe Williams, a brother of Deputy Sheriff Jack Wil liams, who was wounded in the battle with Tracy at Bothell on July 3. He was pounded into insensibility and has not fully regained his faculties vet. Th mistake was discovere when the man's features were compared to those of a photograph at police headquarters. It is almost a miracle that the policeman did not shoot first and investigate af terwards, as he was told positively that the men was Tracy and a reward of nearly $7,000 is ffered for the despera- ao, aeaa or alive. TAKES. NEW TURN Lyon County Democrats In struct for Curtis. Tote for Him If Harris Can'l Be Elected. IS A CLEVER SCHEME. May by this Means Get Many Republican Totes. Would Turn the Tide In Close Counties. A new Influence has been Injected into the contest for United State senator. It has got to the point where the fu sionists are taking a hand in the Re publican fight. In the Democratic county convention In Lvon eountv Saturday afternoon a resolution was passed instructing i" fusionists to support Congressman Curtis for United States senator In case there is no show to re-elect sena tor Harris. The resolution was passed for tne purpose of securing Republican votes for the fusion county ticket. The Re publican convention nominated candi dates for the legislature wno are rot Stanley, for senator. The Martindale faction is for Curtis, and some of the Curtis men are sore. It was t claimed that 100 Curtis men would vote the fu sion county ticket If the fusion rep resentatives were Instructed for Cur tis. This bears out the statements which have been made by the State Journal in the past few weeks that the fusion ists are preparing to make a hard struggle for the legislature. Two years ago Lyon county elected Republican members of the legislature by majori ties of 41 and 121. It can be easily seen that If 100 Republicans bolt the Republican ticket and vote for the fu sionists the fusion county ticket, includ ing representatives, will be elected in Lyon county. It is believed that there is a deal on in Lyon county, because Frank Dale, who pushed the resolution through, is a close friend of William Martindale. and it is believed that some of the Martindale faction knew of the plan. 'It might as well come out now. said Dale on the floor of the conven tion, "for it will come out sooner or later. I have been assured by a group of prominent Republicans that if we instruct our legislative candidates for Curtis we can have 100 votes for our ticket. So. I favor the resolution." It is said that there is a plan to do the same thing in Leavenworth county that is, to bring out independent can didates who shall be for Senator Har ris in case there Is a prospect of re electing turn and If not, they shall be for Curtis. If the fusionists pursue this plan over the state it may make considerable dif ference with the Republican senatorial fight. The contest will, of course, be eventually ended in the Republican leg islative caucus, and it is a question whether any fusion members will be admitted to it, even though they may promise to stand by the decision of tne caucus in the election of a United States senator. Congressman Curtis disclaims any connection with the Lyon county pro gramme and calls on his friends to stand by the Republican nominees for the legislature. I am very much surprised at the ac tion of the convention," he said, "and I hope that my friends may not be misled by any such resolutions. If my friends m Lyon county desire to please me. those wno uve in Mr. Harris district will not only vote for him, but work for his election, and those who live in Mr. Evans district will vote and work for him, these gentlemen being the Repub lican nominees in Lyon county. l want to see these two Republicans elected to the legislature, and it is my desire to have the Republicans of Lyon county support the Republican nomi nees, l do not believe that there was any understanding between delegates to the fusion convention and leading Re publicans of Lyon county, but that this was simply a scheme to secure votes, if possible, for the fusion nominees, and I nope mat it win ran. "I desire to take advantage of this op portunity to say to my friends in the state that I want them to support all Re publican nominees to the legislature, re gardless of whom they favor for the United States senate, that the election of a Republican house is more import ant to the Republicans of Kansas than is the candidacy of any individual for the United States senate." Senator W. A. Harris will leave New Tork for Europe on his mission as spe cial commissioner for the Louisiana Purchase exposition next Wednesday. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Harris. The senator will visit Creat Britain. France, Germany and Holland for the purpose of working up a great interna tional live stock exhibit for the expos! tion. He bears credentials to Ambassador-Choate and other officials of the de partment of state, and will endeavor to secure an exhibit from King Edward's royal hero or shorthorns at Sandrlng ham, and another from a herd owned by the late Queen Victoria, which is lo cated at Windsor. Senator Harris will return to America about October 1 and will put in four weeks in the campaign in Kansas. Greenleaf Sentinel: Since Tom Kelly has repaid Miami county the amount he seems to have stolen from it, isn't it about time for the Republicans of the state to demand that Tom be with drawn from the ticket For a man to own up that he is a thief don't make him much better thief. In the Thirtieth judicial district the Democrats will hold their judicial con vention at Ellsworth tomorrow to nom nate a candidate for judge. The Pop ulists will meet at Salina a week later. T. L. Bond of Salina will be the nomi nee. The fusion ticket nominated In Lyon county Saturday is as follows: Sheriff. Edward S. Newlin; clerk of the court. Charles Jones; county clerk, Wm. Eg gers; register of deeds, George Saffer county treasurer. J. D. East in: county attorney, E. L. McCain: county super intendent, Mary McCreary: surveyor, Alfred Lenherr; coroner. Dr. H. D.

The Republican primaries in Donl phan county were held Saturday and the county convention will be held to morrow. Cyrus Leland will be nomi nated for the legislature by acclama tion. This is one county In the First district in which there will be no Cur tis and anti-Curtis fight. Balie Waggener has announced that he will make the race for the legisla ture on the Democratic ticket against Captain John Seaton, "the father of the house," in Atchison county. It will be the "warmest" legislative race in Kan sas the coming fall because of the prom inence or the contestants. Dr. William Baird was nominated for the legislature by the Republicans In the country district of Bouroon county Sat urday. He is unpledged on the sena torial question and It is not known who he favors. The PODiillst convention In Graham county has been called to meet on August 30, with 170 delegates, 53 more than were ever allowed in a Populist convention in mat county before, ine can invites an Democrats and "all others who believe in the principles of honest government as ad vocated by the People's Party," to par ticipate in the primaries. The fusirmtatn of Kinsman eountv met In a mass convention and have nominated the toliowmg ticket under the heading: in dependent:" John Woodson, representa tive: Frank Leach, sheriff: G. M.

W. Weatherd, com missioner. William Allen White publishes the fol lowing tribute to the memory of L. S. Crura: "The dath of Littleton S. Crura. United States marshal for the district of Kansas, removes a strong, unique charac ter from Kansas politics. Crum was of the old school, a stalwart of stalwarts. His party faith was bred in the war of the rebellion and -strengthened in the days when Kansas counted her majorities for the Republicans by the scores of thou sands. He never grumbled about Issues or creeds. Anything the party stood for was good, enough for old Lit Crum, and wnen tne ticKet was nommaieu mm me platform made, he got out and hustled for vntps.- We wnti a kind, eood hearted, hon est Republican and a good citizen. The Republican state conventions won't be the same with Lit Crum gone." DEAD IN A WINE ROOM. An Unknown Woman Killed in a Chicago Saloon. Chicago, July 28. Her face black from strangulation and blood flowing from a wound on the side of her head, the body of an unidentified woman about 32 years old and fashionably garbed was found in a. wineroom of Henry O'Hara's saloon in Wells street near the river early this morning. The police soon after arrested James Grant and Edward Goff, said fb have been seen in the company of the womanj Twer policemen on duty on Wells street were notified by an unknown man that a woman was dead in tne saloon. The officers at once entered the place, allowing the unknown man to pass on. In the rear room they found the dead woman. Other men and. wo men were found drinking at tables in the place and seemed to be ignorant of the tragedy that had occurred in the rear. The dead woman Is unknown to the frequenters of the saloon, and from her appearance the police say they do not believe she was accustomed to en ter such a saloon. The theory of the police Is that she was drugged, taken into the saloon and there killed. Blood stains were found on the collar, neck, tie and shirt of one of the men under arrest. TESSELS BUILT. IT umber Shows Slight Decline From Previous Year. New Tork, July 28. A publication just Issued -gives the number of vessels built in United States ports during the year ended June 30 as 1,657 of 478,981 gross tons. In the year preceding there were built 1,709 vessels of 489,616 tons gross." This year the sail tonnage aggregated 101,072 tons, last year 128,099 tons. A substantial Increase is noteff in steel steamers, which aggregate 275,479' tons, as against 235,265 tons for last year. Canal boats and barges nave aecnnea rrom ss,ssi to tti.ua tons. No new orders of imnortance are noted on the seaboard and in this respect the outlook is not as favorable- as it was a year ago. In the Great Lakes district there is every indication or a volume or ship building in 1903 fullv eaual to the record year now closing. The lake shiDbuilders close tneir year about midsummer, as their most active period is the fall and winter. In the year now closing thev have built 43 vessels,, costing about $10,250,000.
