Defends Organization Against Harsh Insinuations. PEACE NOW REIGXS. Arrival of Troops at Shenan doah Stops Disturbance. Soldiers Hare Settled Down to Camp Life. EXPENSE TOO GREAT. Coal Operators Found It .Was Costing Them Too Much To Employ Their Own Guards State Will Stand It. "Wilkesbarre', Pa., Aug. 1. President Mitchell, in the course of his reply to .the Citizens' Alliance, which com.nuni cation he made public this afternoon, says 'Pernt me to say that I do not re cognize your right to make demands upon me to specifically declare myself "opposed to any special classes of law lessness. As a citizen of the United States and the chief executive of the miners' organization I have declared on Innumerable occasions and in lan guage not susceptible of mistake, that I am opposed to lawlessness in every character; and I do not propose to alter my views to conform to the tenets of the Citizens' Alliance, namely, wink at capital crimes while inveighing against minor otfensesi I have never in my life sought to condone an unlawful act. have thrown the full weight of my per sonality and influence on the side of law and order; and I can say without egotism that the miners' union and its officers have done more for the conser vation of peace than all the citizens alliances that have been or could be formed by men like yourselves whose sympathy with the poor and oppressed is like unto the friendship Brutus en tertained for Caesar. "I did not assume to say that ther( have not been some transgressions of law by members of the miners' union, Dut i ao say, and dery you to success fully contradict the statement that there has been much less lawlessness 'on the part of the miners that which has oc curred, has been less serious in propor tion to their number than on the part ot tne deputies and coal and iron police who are charged with authority and are specifically commissioned to preserve the law, and against whom you have made no protest and your association taken no action whatsoever. "And, further, the records In the police courts will demonstrate that a smaller number of miners have been convicted of crime In the anthracite mining towns during the progress of the strike than for a like period preceding it. "Again, I have no hesitancy in saying mat mere never was a great upheaval, either industrial, political or social in which there was as little real lawless ness as has existed in the anthracite region since the strike was inaugurated. As I said in my speech at Nanticoke. to which you took exception, the miners are as law abiding; as patriotic, as lib erty loving as any other class of citizens in our country, and I shall not permit you to malign them or defame the resi dents of this community either by di rect charge or insinuation without reg istering an emphatic protest. THE GOVERNOR'S ORDER. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 1. Governor Stone's general order placing troops on duty at Shenandoah was made public today by Adjutant General Stewart. Orders were also issued today by Major general Miller tormally placing General Gobin in command of the troops in the Held. The governor's advices from the strike region are that everything is quiet and mat mere are no signs of further trou ble. The governor's order follows: "Unlawful assemblages of Dersons have congregated in some sections of the commonwealth and by acts of vio lence and disregard of the law, have ta ken human life and placed life and pro perty in jeopardy. The civil authorities are unable to preserve the public peace protect life and property, and secure to citizens of the commonwealth their rights and privileges under the consti tution and the laws. Lawlessness, dis order and conduct tending to disturb the public peace and safety of life and property will be suppressed, and to that end such portions of the national guard as may be necessary to enforce the laws will be placed on duty to assist the civil authorities in restoring and maintaining peace and order. "The sheriff of Schuylkill county hav ing advised the governor of his inability to preserve order and protect life and property and the governor being satis fied, upon investigation, that tumult, riot and mob violence does exist, the major general commanding the division National Guard of Pennsylvania, will place on duty such portions of the di visions as in his judgment may be nec essary to properly assist the sheriff of cchuyikill county in .restoring order and maintaining peace and order. "The major general commanding the division will report fully to headquar ters. "By order of WM. STONE "Governor and Commander-in-chief. THOS STEWART, Adjutant General. GENERAL. ORDERS. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 1. The follow ing general order was issued from Na tional Guard headquarters here todav "The brigadier general commanding desires to commend the officers and men of the several commands now in camp at snenandoan for their prompt re sponse to the call for duty and the rapid concentration when their services were required. It Is most commendable and cannot fail to establish to a still great er extent the confidence of the people In the efficiency and reliability of the troops or this brigade. "The utmost care and observance of discipline is enjoined upon all. The pe eular character of the service required renders It necessary for officers and men to be constantly ready to respond to whatever may be reauired of them. The visitation to saloons and drinking places by officers and men is strictly prohibited and violations of this order will be rigidly dealt with. The good wim and reputation thus far achieves can only be maintained by strict ob servances of military law and the same adherence to duty always required of soldiers. "By command of: "BRIG. GEN. J. P. S. GOBIN." QUIET EIGNS. Shenandoah. Pa., Aug. 1. A more quiet town than Shenandoah is today. would be difficult to imagine. Peace reigns everywhere in the region. The only thing now attracting attention in this vicinity Is the camp of troops just outside of the town. The soldiers have gotten into full swing of camp routine and have settled down for a period oi enjoyable camp life. Company and re gimental drill will be indulged in every day and target practice will also oe had. Brig. Gen. Gobin, who is making his headquarters at the Ferguson house, in the heart of the town, has not yet decided on going into camp with his staff. If he can find a favorable loca tion near his command he will im mediately go under canvas. MINE GUARDS WERE EXPENSIVE Philadelphia. Aug. 1. No men have been sent to the anthracite coal regions from this city to act as mine guards for more than two weeks past. The reason assigned is that the big opera tors by whom these were employed have found the expense too heavy and that moreover they came to the con clusion that the large force which had been engaged in this city, New York, Baltimore and the south was not re quired. Tt was therefore, determined to drop at least 30 per cent of the total number engaged, estimated to be about 5.000 and after that reduction occurred, to fill the places with men who coul be secured for the work at lower wages. All of those who were hired in Phil adelphia received $2.50. About one thousand were thus contracted for. Of these it is believed that 300 to 400 have. returned home. Their places were filled with men who could be got In the coal country itself for $2 a day. MITCHELL WRITES A LETTER. Wilkesbarre, Pa.. Aug. 1. President Mitchell of the Miners' union started to- work early upon a reply to the open letter addressed to him yesterday by the Citizens Alliance of Wilkesbarre, an organization made up of business men, professionals and others. In an address at a convention of min ers of the First district. United Mine Workers, held at Naticoke, some weeks ago, Mr. Mitchell criticised the alliance because he asserted, it was not consist ent. It wanted to prosecute all miners who violated the law, he said, but over looked the many violations of the law committed every day by the coal com bination. The alliance replied in an open letter in which they enumerated many outrages said to have been com mitted by strikers and others in the coal region since the strike began. Mr. Mitchell was called upon to define his position and to issue a proclamation to his followers warning them to keep on tne side or law and order. He made no reply to the letter. Yesterday the alli ance issued another open letter to the labor chief and after consulting with his advisers, Mr. Mitchell decided to answer it. In his reply he takes the ground that he has always been a staunch defender of law and order and mat nis tollowers know it. Mr. Mitchell had nothing to sav -with reierence to me suit in equity brought against him and other national officers of the United Mine Workers by a coal company in west Virginia.

The President With His Family Goes for an Outing. Oyster Bay, -N.- -Y.,- Aug. 1. The first time on a week day since his vacation began, the president today transacted no public business at Sagamore Hill. No visitors were received during the day. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt left the house early for an all day outing. Miss Alice. Roosevelt left Joday for Newport where she will be the guest of Miss Helen Cutting, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fulton Cutting of New York. 1 CATTLE STICKER HURT. Frank Myers Stuck With Knife He Was Using:. Frank Myers, a cattle killer at the Wolff packing plant is suffering from an injury received in killing a cow this morning. Mr. Myers' duty is to plunge a long knife into the animal's neck In order to reach the jugular vein after it has been knocked in the head with a hammer. This morning when he went to stick the knife into an animal which was not quiet, it struggled and knocked the knife from his hands. It flew through the air and struck him in the fore head above the left eye. A gash about two Inches long was made. The wound bled profusely. Dr. L. Y. Grubbs was called and the wound was dressed. The injury is not serious. Failed to Swim the Channel. Dover, Aug.' 1. Holbein, who started at six o'clock last night from Cape Gris Nez, France, to swim across the English channel to Dover, was obliged, after a plucky effort, and when in sight of his goal, to abandon the attempt, owing to unfavorable conditions. He was subse quently landed here. Holbein was in the water about 14 hours. Temperatures of Large Cities.

AN OLD TIME PICNIC. There Will Be a Parade on Kansas Avenue. Fire Bands Are Already En gaged For the Occasion. The fusionists will ocen their state campaign in Topeka on Saturday, Aug ust 23. They are making preparations to make it one of the biggest political meetings ever held in the state of Kan sas. They have already secured special rates on the railroads and they propose to have half a dozen or more bands to take part in proceedings. The speakers who will furnish the po litical fireworks and do the oratorical stunts are Mayor Craddock, candidate for governor; Mayor James A. Reed, of Kansas City, Mo.; John H. Atwood, of Leavenworth, and David Overmyer of Topeka. It is not only planned to make it a big state event, but plans have also been made to make it an old time pic nic such as were popular in the palmy days of the Farmers' Alliance. There will be big procession of farmers in wagons and on horseback and other fea tures. This parade will be at 10 o'clock in the morning. At 2 o'clock In the af ternoon there will be a political meet ing in the Auditorium, at which Crad dock and Reed will speak, and in the evening Atwood and Overmyer will be the stars. If the fusion state central committee can do it they propose to make this meeting a record breaker. They will have all of the fusion candidates for state offices present to do minor stunts of various kinds. There will be a re ception committee composed of 30 of the most prominent members of the Popu list and Democratic parties of the state. Mayor Parker, of Topeka, will be chairman of this committee, ajod among its members will be the eight fusion congressional candidates. One of the purposes of the meeting will be to organize a state "To-Do-Right" league. "To do right" is Mayor Craddock's motto the one on which he ran for mayor of Kansas City, Kan., and the one on which he is running for governor. It is proposed to organize a state league of a political nature with this as its motto. It will be an organiz ation in opposition to the Kansas Day club, toe Republican organization, and it will hold annual banquets and other celebrations. This Is one reason why a big crowd is looked for from all over the state and why excursion rates have been arranged on the railroads. It is expected that there will be nothing to Interfere with the people coming to Topeka at that time. The summer's work on the farm will have been well disposed of and fall plowing will not be pressing. It Is ex pected that the occasion will bring in several thousand people from over the state. Special railroad rates have also been secured for the bands. Five bands have been already secured. They are Mar shall's band of Topeka, and bands from Leavenworth, Kansas City, Kan., Law rence and Chanute, and others are be ing arranged for. Shawnee county will probably furnish the big part of the procession. Ross vllle, Dover and Wakarusa have ar ranged for wagon and mounted brig ades, and other localities will be organ ized for the same purpose. Colonel H. C. Lindsay will be in charge of the pro cession. The afternoon meeting will be es pecially for the farmers and those from over the state who wish to get awav on tne night trains. Mayor Craddock will deliver his keynote speech at that meeting, and will be followed by Mayor Reed of Kansas City, Mo., who debated with Congressman Long at the Ottawa Chautauqua assembly. In the evening the meeting will be largely for those who cannot attend In the day' time. Atwood and Overmyer, both of whom are recognized as among the best ora tors in the west, will make the speeches. The hot weather is a little tough on some of the Republican statesmen. State Chairman Albaugh has been under the weather for several days, but not enough to keep him from his work. Wednesday Congressman Curtis was seized with a severe attac of stomach trouble as a result of over-exertion and heat combined. Some of bis enemies suggested that it might be nervous prostration resulting from the action of the Pottawatomie county convention, but this was refuted by the fact that Congressman Long was taken shortly afterwards in much the same way, but not so violently. Mr. Long was kept to his room all dav yesterday and was unable to do much work. J. C. Stone, ex-state senator from Leavenworth county, was in Topeka yesterday looking up some Leavenworth assessment matters, and also filing an application for a new savings bank at Leavenworth, of which he is to be vice president. Within the next few months a banking trust company, similar to the one recently started by John W. Breid enthal, will be organized by Leaven worth and Missouri parties in connection with the bank, and Senator Stone will have charge of the trust company's af fairs. The savings bank will be known as the Kansas and Missouri Savings bank, and it will have a capital of $2, 000. The trust company will be capital ized for $100,000. The First district Republican con gressional committee decided to formal ly open the congressional campaign in the First district about September 15. Congressman Curtis will spend four or five days in each county in the district. Congressman Long last night endors ed W. H. Mackey for United States marshal and sent a telegram to that effect to the president at Oyster Bay. Congressman Calderhead spent yester day in Topeka helping along with Mackey's candidacy and after Mr. Long was assured that the Fifth dis trict had generally lined up for Mackey he placed his O. K. on Mackey's candi dacy. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Calder head was trying to locate Congressman Scott in order to secure his endorsement also. Mr. Scott was not at his home in Iola. and nobody In Topeka seemed to know where to reach him. Mr. Scott's endorsement will make the Kansas del i egatlon solid for Mackey. TAKE FRENCH LEA YE. Ken on Board the President's Yacht Mayflower Are. Deserting. Oyster Bay, Aug. "i. Serious trouble has developed on the Mayflower, the president's official yacht. During the past few days nine desertions have oc curred among the crew. A member of the crew said today that not less than 70 men on board the ship were awaiting a favorable opportunity after pay day to take "French leave" of the vessel. Primarily, the trouble, seems to revolve around the executive officer xt the ship, Lieutenant W. W. Phelps, who, the men assert. Is overbearing and tyrannical. Ordinary privileges, it is alleged, have been curtailed seriously; the men are on watch eight hours and .off four, and when on watch are kept hustling all the time; smoking is practically prohibited on board ship and shore leave is diffi cult to obtain. The men are proud to be aboard the president's official vessel, but they declare they can not endure the racking discipline forced upon them, not, they say, by Lieutenant Commander Gleaves, in command, but by Lieuten ant Phelps. HAVOC IN THE HILLS. Reports of Damage From Earth quake Continue to Come In. Los Alamos, Cal., Aug. 1. Although no more severe earthquake shocks have been experienced here since 7:30 last night, the people are still panic-stricken. Many of those who have not already fled from their homes are preparing to leave in case the seismic disturbances continue. The damage already done is variously estimated at from $10,000 to $30,000. It would have been much greater had not most of the buildings been made of wood. The few brick structures here were not of the most substantial kind and have been so badly damaged that they are not likely to be rebuilt. Several narrow escapes from death are reported. Arthur Foxan, a young man, was asleep in a room at the rear of Wickenden's store when the terrify ing shock came last night. The fall of the big safe blocked his exit through the door. He turned to the window but could not for a moment raise it. That delay saved his life, for an instant af terward the top of the rear wall crash ed down past the window freeing its fastenings and giving him exit. Dr. H. C. Bagby of Santa Maria was sleeping in the home of Mrs. D. P. Whitney when the earthquakes and the crash of bricks from the Wickenden wall, aroused him. His eyes saw an un usual light and with quick wit he de cided that Mrs. Whitney had been read ing by a lamp and that the lamp had been overturned. Without a thought for his own safety he rushed upstairs and found Mrs. Whitney vainly fighting the flames and. seemingly surrounded by them. Dr. Bagby subdued the flames with the bedding and thus saved a life and a large portion of the business sec tion. In the destruction of the adobe home of Gasper Orena, a boy lay sleeping just where a great "V shaped section of the heavy adobe wall twisted out and cast aside, but he escaped unhurt. All the family of Dr.- Graham was away when their house crumbled. They had gone .north to bury one -of their little ones and so probably escaped death. Parties from Lompoc and outlying districts have reached Los Alamos with stories of havoc In the hills. A great landslide carrying down hundreds of tons of earth, occurred near the Hoover ranch. The road from Lompoc was buried for 50 feet. John R. Dream, a mountain farmer, reports a road destroying landslide in Drum canyon. The face of the hills are charged with noises which Dream de scribes as most terrifying sounds he ever heard. The oil wells around the town of Los Alamos seem not to have suffered. The Carraga wells, owned by Los Angeles capitalists, are located five miles from here and fears for them filled the minds of all as the seismic disturbances In creased. The casing of the wells, ten In number are almost 2.000 feet into the earth; yet not a well was injured. Since the beginning of the earthquake shocks, the temperature here has been most oppressive as much heat apparent ly coming from the earth as from the sun which for' the most part of the time has been shining bright. Miss Mamie Leslie, in charge of the telephone office, has remained at her post, though her family has sought a place of greater safety. NOT DUE TO VOLCANIC ACTIVITY. San Francisco, Aug. 1. John H. Conway, who was one of the first men 10 discover mineral possibilities of the Los Alamos district, believes that the disturbances are in no way due to volcanic activity, but oc casioned by local conditions. His theory, based upon a life study of the geology of the county, is that the quakes are occa sioned by subsidences caused by the ac tion of the subterranean gases and oils in which the region is known to abound. It has been known for years that gas was being generated beneath the earth's surface in the vicinity of Los Alamos. Prof. Sillman of Yale in 18fi put forward that theory and added that he had no where seen such evidences of the presence of hydro-carbons. This was substantiated lately by F. McMillan, a San Francisco mining engineer. For many years there has been a small, active volcano on the Los Alamos side of the mountain which lies between that place and Santa Barbara. Smoke and steam constantly issue from various fis sures along the su limit of a plateau or shelf near the northern slope of the moun tain. Viewed from the distance of the old stage road these manifestations appear like small camp fires. They have never developed any alarming tendencies and have attracted very little direct Investi gation. CROKER WINS AT LAST. His Tipsilanti Captures Ches terfield Cup at Goodwood. London, Aug. 1. Richard Croker's Ylpsilanti won the Chesterfield cup (handicap of 400 sovereigns added to a sweepstakes of 15 sovereigns each, for S-year-olds and upward, distance one mile and a quarter) at Goodwood today. Osboch, ridden by Maher, was second and Sonatura came in third. Six horses ran. it. S. Sevier's bay filly Sceptre won the Nassau stakes (of 30 sovereigns with 200 sovereigns added, fvr 3-year-olds, dis tance one mile and a half)- The Simoon filly, Maher up, finished second. Six horses ran. King Cruises Eastward Today. Cowes, Aug. I. The king had an ex cellent night and today the royal yacht Victoria and Albert left for a cruise to the eastward.- His majesty sat late on the deck last evening enjoying a min strel performance given by the yachf s crew. The Prince and Princess of Wales started for London this morning. FOUR CAR LOADS. Books For Kansas Schools Are Arriving. Will Require 30 Car Loads to Supply the State. WATCH NEXT MOVE. American Book Company May Go to Federal Court. Restrain State Officers From Interfering With Business. It is likely something will drop in the American Book company matter within a few days. The first consignment of books for the Kansas trade has been shipped from the Cincinnati house of the American Book company to the Kansas Book company at Topeka. The first shipment consisted of four carloads of books and there are over thirty car loads more to follow. The Kansas Book company of Topeka will be the distrib utors for the American Book company in Kansas. H. L. Shirer. one of the members of the Kansas Book company, was seen by a reporter for the State Journal this morning. "Will you make an attempt to distrib ute the books of the American Book company before the question of the standing of that corporation in the state Is settled?" was asked. "No," he replied. "We have no in clination to fly in the face of an injunc tion." "Cannot you evade the law by buying the books of the American Book com pany outside the state, and then bring them here to distribute?" was the next question. "I believe not," said Mr. Shirer. "At least we are not making plans to do so. The contracts which the American Book company has with the state text book commission would prevent such an ar rangement as that. No, the litigation must be settled before we send out any of the books. The books are being ship ped here and put into storage. We have orders on our books from all parts of the state for the books for the fall trade, but it now begins to look like it will be impossible to get the books on the market before time for the begin ning of the fall term of school." It is supposed in Topeka that Major A. M. Harvey and Senator FredDumont Smith are in Chicago in conference with the members of the American Book company in regard to the future policy of the company in Kansas and the course to be pursued. A reporter for the State Journal call ed at Major Harvey's office this morn ing only to find him absent. Inquiry failed to elicit a satisfactory answer to his whereabouts. The reporter was told that Major Harvey had Instructed that should anyone call for him and make inquiries, he was to be told that he could .not reach Mr. Harvey today.. Considerable delay has been occasion ed because of the inability of the com pany to get before the Kansas state charter board on account of the absence from the city of its members. Two members of the board are now in To peka. They are State Bank Commis sioner Morton Albaugh and State Sec retary George Clark. The other mem ber, A. A. Godard, attorney general for the state is away from the city and is not expected to be back until Septem ber 1. Two members of the board have power to act. If the American Book company makes application to tne board for the right to transact business in Kansas, it is said charges will be filed with the board against the book company seeking to prevent the grant ing of the permit. It Is said the charges will involve bribery transactions, and it is .hoped by the attorneys for Crane Co, that the evidence that will be pro duced will be ponderous enough to pre vent the charter board from granting the permit needed by the American Book company. It is now rumored that in event the American Book company is denied the permit from the state charter board to do business in the state, that it will go into the federal courts and ask for a restraining order to prevent Kansas officials from Interfering with their bus iness until after the litigation is finish ed, and the company will then appeal to the United States, supreme court from the Kansas supreme court. If the case is taken to the United States su preme court it is more than likely that a decision will not be had within threa years. Meanwhile the American Book company will have disposed of the greater per cent, of the books that will be brought In Kansas during the term of their five year contract. THE OLD, OLD STORY. Barton County Farmer Buys Some Lightning Rods. Great Bend, Kan.,Aug. 1. A man giv ing the name of H. B. Hill and claim ing to live near Ellinwood, appeared at Mr. Frank Werner's place near Clafiin and wanted to put uo some lightning rods. Mr. Werner told him he didn't care for anything of the kind. "Well." remarked Hill, "I'll tell you what I'll do. I want an advertisement of my work here and I'll put them up for al most nothing. Til do It for $3.75. That will be my expenses here, meals, lodg ing, care of my horses and so on, and you merely sign this receipt for $3.75 so than I can check up my accounts pro perly." This Mr. Werner did. The next dav another man drove up to Mr. Werner's place and told him that he had a contract with him for putting up 300 worth of lightning rods. Mr. Werner was somewhat surprised at the statement and protested. "Well. '.you don't want a lawsuit out of this, do you?" the man asked. "No. .replied Mr. Werner. "Well, then I'll show you how you can get out of ?200 of this. You make out two notes, one for $100 and the other for $200. and Til come back Monday with the county attorney and give you back $200." Mr. Werner did this and as the man failed to appear he came to Great Bend to see about it. The notes, which will be due in a short time, have probably been sold to disinterested parties and the swindlers are probably working in adjoining counties. Bryan Starts for New York. New Haven. Conn.. Aug. 1. W. J. Bry an left New Haven today for New York by train. NO RAIN PROMISED. The Minimum Temperature Remains Uncomfortably High. The weather forecaster still sends out the uncertain announcements for Kan sas. Cider Smith still insists that we will enter a storm period August 5. Today's forecast is "generally fair to night and Saturday." The wind this morning was southwest blowing 6 miles an hour. The minimum temperature was 8. The hoirrly temperatures re corded by the government thermometer today- were as follows: 7 o'clock 72 11 o'clock 83 8 o clock 75 12 o'clock 86 9 o'clock SO 1 o'clock 87 2 o'clock... 8S 10 o'clock 82j KANSAS LOST TOWNS. An Effort Will be Made to Lo cate Them. In almost every county in the state there are one or more "lost towns." That is, in the early days towns which were expected to become great cities were projected and in some instances became thriving communities. Now they are nothing but corn fields or prairie land. A county seat fight may have wiped them out of existence. A railroad may have come through and located a new town a few miles away, and the first town have been moved bodily to the railroad. In the western counties towns were projected during the boom days which were heavily bonded. Waterworks plants were built and other public im provements made. All that is left of some such towns now are water pipes buried in the ground with the hydrants sticking up here and there on the prai rie. A short distance of Fort Riley stands the ruins of the first capitol building of Kansas. Around it in 1854 was 'built the city of Pawnee. Nothing marks the site now except the old ruins of the capitol building. When Preston B. Plumb first landed in Kansas, a young man, he helped to lay out a town a short distance east of where Salina now stands. A smallpox epidemic swept through the town and drove away nearly all of the settlers who did not die. The next spring Plumb went to Emporia and settled and the very site of the town on the Saline is almost forgotten. There have been dozens ot-wtfen "lost towns" in Kansas. Some of them have a history and some have not. In order to preserve the records as far as possi ble, George W. Martin, secretary of the State Historical society, has addressed a letter to all registers of deeds in the state and many old-time settlers asking for data and all possible Information concerning these old towns. In his let ter he says: "The Kansas State Historical society desires to make a record of the lost towns of Kansas. Will you please con sult with friends who were pioneers and make a list of the towns once exist ing' in your county which are not now known not on the map answering on this sheet of paper? In the material development of Kansas there -were many who sacrificed means and ambitions who did many interesting', things in which there was-great enjoyment that this state might be molded in their way. Please help put them on record. A few years more and it will be too late." In connection with the letter Secre tary Martin is sending out a blank on which he wishes detailed information as follows: Name of town; origin of name; sec tion, township and range; municipal township; county; date of location; in corporators or first settlers; population; date of abandonment; owner and use of site now; incidents, prominent char acters, connection with historic events, etc CUMMINS HAS DOUBTS. Iowa Governor Thinks Rock Is land May Have Transgressed. Des Moines, la., Aug. 1. Gov. Cum mins announced today that he Is in vestigating the recent reorganization of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railroad company with a view of as certaining whether the organization is In all respects in harmony with the laws of the state of Iowa. He will con fer with the attorney general as soon as the latter returns to the city. Gov. Cummins stated today that the first question he is inquiring into is as to whether the inflation of the capital stocK wnicn is contemplated by the re organization is consistent with the Iowa law. In the second place, he desires to know just, how' far it is lawful for a New Jersey corporation to own and con trol the property of a railway owned and operated in Iowa. He has not reached a conclusion on either of these questions and declares that he means to give them a thorough investigation before he decides what his duty toward the new company may be under the premises. "It may be," he stated, "that the Iowa laws contemplate as much latitude as this company has used but I doubt that very much. Lightning Harks a Cross. Troy, I1L, Aug.

SPORTINGNEWS. Origin of the Fitz-Jeffries Fake Fight Story Grew Out of Fortune Telling With Pack of Cards. WOMAN TOLD JEFFRIES After a Vigorous Shuffling Eight Spot Came Up. That Was the Foundation of the Whole Eumor. San Francisco, CaL, Aug 1. The in nocent game of telling fortunes by cards was the foundation for the Exam iner's charges that the recent fistic bat tle between Fitzsimmons and Jeffries was a fake. A lady living in a fash ionable hotel was the cause of it all. She was a guest at Harbin Springs for a few days while Jeffries was training there. One evening after the champion had concluded his daily exercises and was waiting for bedtime, this lady pro posed that she tell his fortune by cards. The big fighter shuffled the pack, then cut them into three piles with his left hand and deposited each pile away from him for luck. Then the lady took the cards and laid them out on a table In mysterious order. She told him that he would get his wish, by winning the fight. Then the card that, according to fortune telling system, portending luck came out,, and Immediately after It came an eight spot. "You will win in the eighth round." the amateur fortune teller declared. A few days before the fight this lady net the sporting editor of the Examin er, whom she had met In the East and knew well, and told him that she had been at Harbin Springs, and that while she was there she had learned that Jef fries was to win in the eighth round. Her conversation with the Examiner's representative was in the most innocent manner possible, and she said she look ed upon her fortune-telling experiment in the light of an innocent amusement. These facts this lady has told to Fitzsimmons and his friends. It is al most impossible to find anyone who was close fo the ringside on the night of "the contest who will agree with the Exami ner. The paper has said that the only people who disagreed with It In Its opin ion of the fight were men -who made living through such contests. Truxton Beale, a prominent clubman and well known in commercial and social circles. is emphatic In declaring that the fight was one of the fairest that had ever taken place and that Fitz only quit when compelled to by the overpowering might and strength of his opponent. Frank S. Johnson, one of the most prominent merchants of the state, said there was no rfiadow of fake about the fight. He said it was a hard-fought battle, and he was so situated at the ringside that he saw clearly the knock out blow given, and he says without hesitation that Fitz was fairly beaten, Joseph Redding, General Warfleld and Stanley Fay are all of the same opinion, and they were all so scattered about the ringside that they could see distinctly all that took place between the fight' ers. It became known today that the Ex aminer has made representations to Mayor Schmitz to the effect that it Is unable to present people at this time upon whom It depends to substantiate Its story of fake In connection with the fight. After an Interview with Manag ing Editor Robert the mayor has decid ed that no investigation will be held, despite his previous strong announce ment, unless Fitz has something he may wish to present in refutation of the charges made against him.

These two stars have been se cured by McGraw, though no Informa tion to this effect has been given out.

A number of other Ameri can League stars have given similar promises to other clubs of the Nation al League, but this pair is assured to New York.

Riley B. A Favorite but Sickness Pr- anted Hi Starting. C!nlumhui. O.. Aur. 1. The Grand Circuit races were tame, but there was a large attendance and a great deal of speculation. The feature of the arteraoon-s racing was the 8:07 pace. In the over-night pooling Riley B. was a hot favorite, selling at 50 to 26 for a field of five. Just before the race he was taken sick and withdrawn. C. F. W. was also arawn, leaving only four to score for the word. Fanny Dillard was made the favorite in the new books at 25 to 20. The mare won the first heat wHh ease in 2:054. lnwerino- her record a full second, in the second heat she broke badly In the first turn and barely beat the flag, the heat going to Major Muscovite In i:0&K. Before the third heat there was a very heavy play on the field to beat jranny Dillard. who brought 15 to 25. The judges decided to take Snow down from behind the mare ana sunsuiuie mc Henrv. The latter could not be found, however, and Scott Hudson refused to drive the hobbled pacer. After much de liberation Snow was allowed to drive and he brought the Dillard mare home a winner by a neck over The Bishop, who made a try for the heat after Major Muscovite had died away. The day s upset came in the 2:13 pace, for which Casonida was heavy favorite, She was never a contender and Twinkle won In straight heats. Sylvia One and Prince Direct divided second and third moneys. The Ron an, as expected, out classed his field of 2:17 class trotters, and none of the three horses that were sent after him In the three heats had so much as a lookin. The unfinished 2:19 trot was won by Ella Lee, a Columbus mare, strongly backed by the local tal ent. The 2:16 pace had only three starters, all of poor class. Tom Keene looked good enough to win', but he ab stained from taking a heat, and the judges were satisfied with the race. "WHITNEY WILL FIGHT. Doea Not Relish Saratoga Becoming a New Monte Carlo. New York, Aug. 1. The Jockey club and the Saratoga association for the improvement of tne Breed of Horses in tends making a strenuous fight to dis pel the gambling atmosphere steadily growing about Saratoga. President William C. Whitney is back from Bar Harbor and at a special meeting of the directors on Friday or Saturday means will be considered by which the Invas ion of the gambling element may be repulsed. The elaborate preparations being made by the promoters of the resorts at Saratoga for the approaching season to gether with the influx or every catch penny fakir from New Orleans to the border is alarming the idealists of rac ing like W. C. Whitney, August Bel mont, mtencock and H. it. Knapp. The prospect that Saratoga, the pro posed national seat of the American turf, may become notorious as a New World Monte Carlo Is not in line with their ideas of what the rejuvenated Spa should be. It Is understood the Jockey club has promised to lend every assist ance possiDie to tne Saratoga associa tion in its contemplated crusade against me Knignts or tne green baize. How Mr. Whitney and his associates will fight the gamblers remains to be seen. One thing sure, the coterie of racing owners who are said to be be hind a new gambling venture at the Spa will be kept in hot water if they continue to race. The gamblers recog nize in Mr. Whitney the most powerful and formidable of all their enemies. SB. DOOLEY DOES WELL. Crack 2-Year-Old Does a Half In .60 1-3 at Lexington. Lexington. Ky.. Aug. 1.

Allen, two poolroom men who have been in trouble with the police so often that they have forgotten when the first raid upon them was made, have joined hands in a contemplated reform move ment which Is aimed against the metro politan race tracks and bookmakers, whom they blame for their poolrooms being closed. It has been ascertained by counsel employed by the poolroom men that the present law permits money lost on the race track to be re covered by means of civil suits. They will take advantage of this provision and will make raids on betting rings at each of the tracks about this city when the thoroughbreds come home from Sar atoga. Their commissioners will place wagers on several ot tne horses, and those who will lose will sue to recover. Racing at Chicago. I Chicago, Aug. t Dick Welles. Hel- i gasan's 11 to 20 favorite in the Test stakes at Harlem, failed to land inside the money. The purse, worth 31,580. went to Top Soli, the extreme outsider in the betting at 16 to 1, with George K. second and Foxy Kane third. Top Soil showed a fine burst of speed in the last sixteenth. Coming from far back he barely got up in the last lumo and won by a nose. Only four of the twelve orig inal starters went to tne post with Foxy Kane added to the list.

The Cleveland club Is the dark horse in the race, and must be carefully watch ed, as the season has two full months tf run yet. Boston Herald. Manager Hugh Duffey, of the Milwau kee Western League team, has signed Pitcher Adkins, the Beloit fat boy, re cently released by Manager Collins, of the Boston Americans. President Hart is busily engaged In heart-to-heart talks with his players. His j purpose is the gaining of their signatures to contracts for next season. Most of the men have already signed. Harry Blake.erstwhile St, Louis cen ter fielder, and one of the best in that position in the country, is banging the ball at Rochester. Harry used to be a weak hitter, but his average is now above the 300 mark. The Chicago Journal facetiously re marks: "A ball team made up of pawn brokers should win the flag. Each could take his sign to the plate when ha batted, 1 and the umpire would have to call only one ball to give him his base." It is said that Umpire Cox. of the Eastern, and Hasset, of the New Eng land leagues, are possibilities for the American next season. Both -are caling the turn In proper shape in all their games and are said to be able to handle players splendidly. The way the American race looks to most people is that six of the clubs are pennant possibilities, while Baltimore and Detroit are eligible for first division honors. Chicago s reverses have intensi fied the race. Boston's coming again, and St. Louis' fall have made positions In the front division most unstable. Wash ington's get-together and Cleveland's bold dash have made, a race ths like of which has never been witnessed. Harry Steinfeldt, of the Cincinnati Reds, will probably be out of the game for a couple of weeks. He has been suffering from Charley horse for some time and It has become so aggravated that he has been compelled to quit. His services will be sadly missed. Pickering, of the Cleveland's who was reported as having been turned over to Baltimore. Is said to be wanted by the Chicago Nationals. "Pick" says until he is released by Cleveland he is not at lib erty to even talk business with any other team in the country. "Cj" Hastings, the Worcester pitcher. has been doing some splendid work re cently. He has won ten Btratght games for that team, and with Falkenburg, the giant slab artist of the team forms the tower of strength that has brought the Lambs to the front of the Eastern race. "Tip" O'Neill, who has had an experi ence both as player and umpire, made the following suggestion the other evening while discussing the roasts that have been handed the indicator corps. "Sup pose the umpire failed to show up for duty and a newspaper man, who was considered the local authority on the game, were invited by management and people to handle the indicator, requesting him to do the business from the press box, ss he does it every day, how long do you suppose it would be before the writer would be a fit subject for an am bulance corps? Neither the fans nor the writers see the game as the umpire does. and hence the difference of opinion." Of "Rube" Waddell. the Chicago Jour nal says: "His endurance is that of an iron man. His skill, despite the fact that he is a jay from Jayario ana a wild, un tutored rube, is almost as great as his physical powers. Almost perfect control is his on the day when he is at his best and the variety of puzzling shoots thrown in. too. with wonderful judgment as to how each batsman doesn't like them, is 1 something almost incomprehensible. It is hardly likely that even Amos Rnsle. that husky giant of the past, could have pitched such long games as Waddell, and Amos, even when most powerful, could not have held his men to fewer hits, fewer bases on balls, or fewer tallies. Great Isl the Rube. Where in all the archives of baseball can be found his equal?". Jake Morse makes reply in the Boston Herald by offering the name of Charley Bad- bourne, who, Jake says, fairly won a pennant single handed, was possessed of unlimited endurance, and had all that is included In the art of perfect pitching.

TOFEKA STATE JOT7BN Al FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 1, 1902. KANSASJ1EWS. Jewett is Working Faithfully For Good Koads. Prison Warden Promises Big Help For Farmers. BUILD MACADAM ROADS An Aid in Getting Country Grain to Market. Township Residents Approve of the Plan. RAILR0AD1E7S. Bitter Arraignment of Santa Fe Gulf Line Officials. Strikers Issue a Scorching Statement of Their Case. caven worth, Axis. L Some years ago the state of Kansas built a few miles of macadamized road out of Lansing. Only a few miles of road was construet ted but it proved a boon .to the farm ers and was greatly appreciated. It also demonstrated that the state can use tne convicts to improve the highway and do a great service to the public Warden Jewett recently announced that he was working on a plan to build a system, of rock roadways running south and west from Lansing. He says that he believes the labor of a portion of the convicts can thus be profitably used. It is a fact that a farmer can haul double the weight of wheat in a wagon on a macadamized road, than he can over the mud and dirt roads so common In this country. The owners of land of course are all anxious that the new state roads shall be run by their places but the final lo cation of the roads have not yet been definitely decided upon. A good macad amized road running by a farm to a market adds not less than five dollars to every acre of ground so benefited. It is the plan of the warden to build and complete the road straight south of Lansing to the Wyandotte county line and then a road west through Delaware township and southwest through por tions of Fairmount and Stranger town ships and ultimately further on to af ford a highway between Tonganoxie and Leavenworth. The warden is also plan ning to completely repair the macadam road between Lansing and the city lim its and this in connection with the new Fourth street paving will make a fine road from the city south past the Sol diers' home to Lansing. It is said that this splendid plan to use the convicts to build a system of highways for Leaven worth county has been submitted to W. J. Bailey who says, if he is elected gov ernor it will have his unqualified ap proval. Warden Jewett is cooperating with the people of Lansing in improving that prosperous suburb and a new stone re taining wall along the main street put up by the state, adds much to the looks of the town. Reception For Bowersock. Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 1. The people of Lawrence, irrespective of party, ten dered Congressman J. D. Bowersock a reception last night at South park.

The school which will be opened in the novitiate by the Sisters of the Precious Blood will be able to ac commodate about 60 girls, who will be taught sewing and. cooking; in fact all branches of housekeeping. Its aim will be to make good servant girls and good Housewives." Baxter Springs Reunion. Baxter Springs, Aug. 1.

The Cincinnati, Hamilton Indianapolis and the Indiana, Decatur Western railroads were con solidated here at a meeting of the direc ors of the two properties which hereafter will be known as the Cincinnati, Indian auolis Western. It is said that the directors authorized the issuing of $2,800,000 4 per cent bonds to. refund $1,800,000, of 7 per cent bonds on the Cincinnati, Hamilton Indian apolis due the. first of January and to take up a large amount of bonds against the Indiana, Decatur Western and also to obtain money to be used, in the better ment of the two roads. By today's actions the Cincinnati, In dianapolis Western will get an en trance into Springfield, 111., and a good working connection with Kansas City. The two properties are owned by M. D. Woodford and his associates who are the owners of the Cincinnati Hamilton Dayton and though the consolidated pro perty will have another name it really is the property of the Cincinnati, Hamilton l Dayton. In answer to certain reports regarding the strike situation at Cleburne, many of which they claim have done them an injustice, the executive committee of the strikers have issued an address which was made public recently through one of the Cleburne papers. It follows; We claim that no man or individual or number of men can pass Judgment on any question without hearing th evidence and the facts that may be sub mitted bv both sides. Therefore the headlines in the 'Enterprise,' July 22, 1902, that says: 'The eonditions as they appear from an unprejudiced stand point,' do not do justice to the men who are now out on a strike on the Gulf Colorado Santa Fe railroad, inasmuch as the reporter has taken only one siae of the question, and that was the com pany's side against the men, -as he visited the plant m company witn some of the officials who made statements that cannot be proven, and which they themselves know are absolutely false. Every man with ordinary common sense realizes that the company by the arbitrary methods employed In an of ficial capacity here, have forced good honest, law-abiding citizens of all classes and occupations to rise up and rebel against conditions that could not be tolerated in any civilized country, let alone by Americans who have al ways held their first duty was to their country, the 'Stars and Stripes forever People who understand ana recognize the Declaration of Independence, issued in their behalf, and that it is as sacred to us as is the name of Travis, Crockett and Bowie, and world renowed Alamo of our once independent republic and present great and glorious state or Texas. The stand we have taken Is not from any selfish motive or individual interest that we have. But we believe in equal rights and justice toward all men, therefore feel justified in making the positive assertion that our action is one that can be commended by every law-abiding citizen as we are trying to elevate humanity and raise ourselves above serfdom. Had the Santa Fe company placed citizens of the United States men Qualified to work for their interest, men who were not devoid of all honor, manhood and principle in the positions that are now occupied by creatures that would contaminate the very lowest depths of hades by their contemptible presence there would have never been a strike here. The local of ficials here have misrepresented every thing to our managers have made ab solutely false statements not on one but on all occasions, and we hereby de fy them to ratify or prove 90 per cent of their statements. If we could only have had some one here to really represent the company s real interest some one that all the em ployes could have just the least little confidence in; one who would at some time in life's history made a pretext toward right then all of this would have been avoided. American citizens and friends, can you afford to accept the statements given out by one or two domineering officials who only seek their own ag grandizement, and have nothing In com mon with the public good? Oh, egotist! must a man die that a dog may live and little children be carried hungry to their graves r Can you afford, we ask, to accept these statements? Who is it that our Creator endowed with an or dinary intellect that will take the word of one or two men who have 'past rec ords'; men who are the agent of a cor poration or trust that have no motive except greed and avarice? Who, we say, are they that will do this against the word of hundreds of intelligent work- ingmen? Do you, the public,- think if these men had no cause, no grievance and were not justified In their action that they would have voluntarily some not even members of organizations would have sacrificed their positions to a man, not really knowing what the fu ture would be? No! no! They realized what they were doing and believed then and always will believe that they were right and justifiable in their every action. "Our chief executive and government officials are elected, and all public Insti tutions are conducted upon the action of the majority rule. Therefore, we claim that the honest, frank opinion of six or seven hundred men is an over whelming majority against one or two who have been fortunate enough, by their underhand methods, to be placed in a position that would be acceptable to the devil himself had he to pursue the policy adopted on this line of road by officials. It Is an evident fact that the fight was a premeditated affair and It was impossible for us to avoid it as It was forced upon us by the officials of the company at this place. A citizen of Texas, a mechanic who is considered by all who know him a perfect gentleman, who came out with us in this strike on July 8 (this man's word is unquestionably truth and honor itself) states that when he left his for mer position on June 6 and came here to work he was informed by his master mechanic there that he was a fool to come to Cleburne to work on the G. C. S. F. railway, as this company was going to force trouble upon its em ployes. "We also have affidavits and state ments in our possession from different persona that show theyftvereihired by San ta Fe agents on June 20,and were paid $2 per day to wait until the company was In need of their services as 'scabs.' When this strike was called they were shipped to Cleburne by way of Kansas City at which place guards took pos session of the cars and locked the doors, preventing those who had honor enough not to 'scab' from getting off and going where there was no trouble. "Below we give you the exact number of all kinds of mechanics and laborers who went on strike July 8. or who went out in our support when the first 'scab' started to work. Then follows a tabulated statement showing that the total number of men employed as Iron workers according to their calculations was 383 and that the same number struck. There were also about 60 others who also went out act the same time. "The above statement does not In clude other trades or laborers but the real number of men now on strike Is 607. The citizens of Cleburne fully re alize the absurdity of any such state ment made by the company that they have 177 scabs at work, for one-half of that number would far exceed the exact figures, and as for mechanics the com pany has not a. single one that is a first-class man, foreman Included. "The officials claim that things are in a normal condition at all points. This we deny. With the exception of Belle ville, where one man is employed, and Temple, where one coppersmith and one blacksmith are at work, there Is not a mechanic working on the G. C. S. F. system at any other point except Cle burne. "We deny the statement that the com pany can get as many mechanics as they claim to have at work, on such short notice, when it was impossible to obtain them under normal conditions, as the shops have never had a full force at work at one time since the plant was established here. The statement (by the company) in the Enterprise of the -22d Inst., is simply a big game of bluff and we who have had years of experience with the methods of the railroad com pany to deceive their employes or the public understand it thoroughly. This statement was made by the company to deceive the publie and to discharge some of our men who might be a little weak. The company has sent to the homes of some of our men begging them to come back to work at an In creased salary, but they all. to a man, refused to prove traitors to their fellow men. "The company has increased our hos pital dues and has refused to restore them to what they formerly were. The company tried to force on all employes an application called 'No. 1692, special application,' by signing which any em ploye would be compelled to undergo a physical examination and answer t some 40 or 50 questions and swear to it be fore a notary publie, by which he waives all rights to damages in case of injury, and waives all rights to an in vestigation if the company wished to discharge him for any cause whatever. These questions are so contemptible that any man who has any intelligence or honor would not ask even a slave to answer them. "This application form 1692 special, by legal authority in several instances, has been said to be the strongest stand that any railroad company in the United States has ever taken, or tried to force upon its employes anything that would reduce them to slavery or serfdom. Any person agreeing to such a con tract would waive all rights toward freedom or liberty. The originator of such a document should not be toler ated in a civilized country, and, to use the 'language of the late lamented Brann, were 'Damned by Sorcorax, sired, by the devil, and born in hell, he would te a disgrace to nis parents and a dishonor to his country." This appli cation since the date of our strike has been forced upon some of the employes, of the railway company by their offi cials. .iso previous to tne strike they tried to force the application on some of the machinists on the southern di vision, after local officials made faith ful promises that such would not be done. The officials have broken prom ise after promise and have on dozens of different occasions violated our agree ment wnicn has all along been a thorn to the management here ever since it was in vogue. Our position in regard to the cause of the strike, attributable by the management to the removal of one man from his former position has been fully explained before by circu lar but we would like to ask the public to take into consideration the fact that it was the last injustice that we could submit to and maintain our self-respect as nonest, law-abiding workmen and citizens of Cleburne.

That is, it was rebuilt in tne macnine aepartment xn xour aays. Machinist J. M. Covert of the east shop and wife will leave next week for Chi cago, where they will spend a week and after that will go to Milwaukee to rest for the remainder ot a two weeks vacation. Eneines 4B and 59. which were recently overhauled after being sold to the Cana dian Northern road, have been prepared for shipment to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where they will be taken over by the road.

Routes of C. P. Cass of St. Louis and Theodore A. Hedenahl of Denver, repre sentatives of the Westinghouse Air Brake company, intersected at Topeka 'xnursaay. They were around the mechanical depart ment headquarters together. Thwa is an unofficial rumor from La Junta to the effect that locomotive 987. the largest in the world, whicn lert 'ropeka only a few weeks ago, had been derailed at Raton. N. M., and had taken 27 cars down an embankment with it. Two months will probably be required to complete the repairs which the Santa Ke has inaugurated on its track, recently disturbed by the Lake View flood. An ex tra gang of workmen is now on duty there and will remain until the plans made are executed. "Albert Blair, a machinist who was com pelled to lay on" some days ago by an in jured knee, planned to begin the month of August in the shops. The doctor says it will be some weeks before he will be permanently recovered, but it may not be the cause of any more loss of time. Wilson Humphries, the Arkansas City coal chute foreman who had three ribs broken besides bruises and minor injuries, is reported as doing nicely at the hos pital. The weights of a pocket gave way, allowing it to drop on him with the results as indicated. John Yearsley, who until a rhort time ago was scratching pans for the Santa Fe, Is now slashing fires for the 'Frisco at Kansas City. He has been in Topeka a dav or two, having been summoned here by the dangerous illness of his grand father, John Flintham. Machinist A. W. Smith is reported to be In a dangerous condition at his home east of town near Deer creek. He was under the sureeon's knife at Kansas City last week, and after returning home got out too soon, and as a consequence he has suffered a relapse, which is serious. Water service men are putting in a four inch wrought iron line for supplying the boiler and machine shop with water. The pipe is laid on top of the second floor and at everv. hundred feet there is a branch running down to the ground. There are to be IS fire hydrants inside of the struc ture. Harley Hamilton.brother of Frank Ham ilton of the shops, and himself a clerk in the freight offices of the Kansas City Southern at Kansas City, will arrive in Topeka Saturday evening, accompanied by his wife, for a visit of two or three days. He and Mrs. Hamilton are now on tnen way to Colorado to spend two weeks. Charles R Trowbridge, chief clerk in the office of W. E. Symons, mechanical super intendent or the liuir lines at cieDurne, Tex., has, resigned that position to take a similar one with Thomas Paxton, super intendent of motive power and car depart ment for the Colorado and Southern at Denver. No appointment of a successor has i'et been made. Oscar Erickson and Fred Dickinson to day entered their apprenticeship in the brass corner under Foreman Gus Osman. Hereafter special anprentices are to be taken on In this corner instead of putting tne macnine anops noys urougn it. has been the plan. Foreman Osman Is to report direct to Shops Superintendent Purcell instead of to the foreman of the machine aho. Pat Griffin, who was employed until re cently in the blacksmith shop, is in a pre carious condition, a sufferer from Brlght's disease. An operation is to be performed at the Santa Fe hospital Saturday morn ing with the hope of relieving him. He laid off a good many weeks ago and for a while was at the company sanitarium at Las Vegas. N. but no permanent cure was effected. Two bolsters of 60.000 pounds capacity each from the Commonwealth Steel Works of St. Louis; Mo., were being given a test as to their strength Thursday afternoon. Their chief variance from other bolsters is that the draft sills of the car run through the center Instead of being placed against either side. They have not been used bythe Santa Fe, but the company may decide to order some of them. W. A. Powers, chief chemist, has gone to Guthrie, Ok., to inspect the water treat ing plant of the company at that point. For a while In the early summer the wa ter which was available for use there needed but little treatment from the chem icals in order that the incrustants might be removed, owing to the heavy rains, but those elements are beginning to appear strongly again, and it is necessary to han dle it the same as was done at first. W. W. Decker, who has been handling the business of the classification desk in the office of General Storekeeper Hilton, has been transferred to the work of the billing clerk downstairs for a few days to assist with some of the work that needs attention. Hugh Carfrae, the regular bill ing clerk, was summoned to London, Can ada, a short time ago by the death of his mother, and on this account it has been found advisable to make the transfer. T. E. Layden. assistant engineer of tests. and J .W. Cain, a member of that depart ment, have returned to Topeka from the Chicago extension, where they were mak ing indicator tests In the large Prairie type freight locomotives. It was found that the engines were doing all that could be expected of them, and the officials al ready seem to be especially Pleased with their work, 'mere seems to oe no limit to their tractive power, pulling 50 and 60 car trains without the least difficulty. John Lavne. who usually pilots a paint gang over the system putting red mineral on all the company property in sight, has brought a large force here to build the cinder pits which the engines will use around the new gravity coal chute. The gang has lately nntsned painting tne steel frame of the new '"in" freight house at Kansas City and before that completed a lot of jobs over this part of the Santa 'e. f or a long time it was engaged on the new boiler and machine shop in Topeka. Two- brick piers at the south end of the new blacksmith shop have been torn out and instead of the eight inch wall a 13 inch one is being constructed. Several months ago tne rcricK was noticea weaken ing and it is believed that the high winds which had prevailed were the cause. Any how, they had to be braced until the pres ent repairs could be made. The test of" their strength comes mainly from ths swinging of the heavy doors which they, support. John Pritchard, a painter living on Eaqt Sixth avenue, brought to the shops a to mato Thursday morning which weighed an even pound. It is said that there will be an abundant yield of this vegetable, and within the last week gardeners have been putting them on the niarket in great quan tities. J. E. Grubbs a brass molder who gave up his work four weeks ago and took to his bed with typhoid fever, died Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The funeral will be held from his lade residence, 425 Jeffer son street. Sunday afternoon at o'clock and will be in charge of the Knights of Pythias lodge, of Which he was a member and the band of that order. Grubbs was about 30 years old and had been with th Santa Fe nearly 14 years. He was a son of William Grubbs, who is employed in that department, and a son-in-law of J. A. Grubbs. a south shop helper. He car ried $3,000 insurance in the Knights of the Protected Ark. This is not the first time that the hot weather, augmented by the warmth from a boiler head, has proven too much for the endurance of Engineer Thomas Jones. Last year Jones was almost prostrated while on duty at Emporia and came to To peka only to lose several weeks before being able to work. This attack seized him while he was on the Osage City branch handling the locomotive which pulls the weed burner. With that appa ratus it is necessary to run at such a slow a peed that the enginemen are not cooled by the fanning breezes which the engineers and firemen on the fast trains experience, but at the same time there is just as much heat given off the boiler as at any time. William Sherman was sent out to relieve Jones. Plans for the new home of the Topeka Railroad T. M. C. A. have been submitted to the executive committee of the associa tion. In all of them there is an agree ment in that they provide for sleeping quarters on the top floor, rest and cta3 rooms on the second and gymnasium and call on tne nrst, witn a swimming poci and bath rooms in the basement. Three of these provided for a bowling alley in the basement. "R. R." offered plans for a plain structure without any apparent attempt at exterior ornamentation. An other architect, signing himself "7," show ed a building of rounded corners and a veranda surrounding two sides. "Justitia" planned for a structure of the plain school house type, improved in general appear ance by nicely arranged porches. Garstang and Rea of Joplin, Mo., gave plans for a fine edifice of the old English cottage style with latticed windows between which which was a porch. It was to have eighty eight foot front and was evidently one of the moet attractive from the exterior ot any presented. There was not the sharp competition in this matter that might have been expected, owing to the rush of build ing which is now on over the country. The building Is to occupy a position on East Fourth street, east of the tracks, and on the north side of that thoroughfare. In Means bad air, and whether it CO CJCZZfmmJ comes frcm the low land's and marshes of the country, or the filthy sewers and drain pipes f the cities and towns, its effect upon the human system is the same. These atmospheric poisons are breathed into the lungs and taken up by the blood, and the foundation of some long, debilitating illness is laid. Chills and fever, chronic dyspepsia, torpid and enlarged liver, kidney troubles, jaundice and biliousness are frequently due to that invisible foe, Malaria. Noxious gases and unhealthy matter collect in the system because the liver and kidneys fail to act, and are poured into the blood current until it becomes so polluted and sluggish that the poisons literally break through the skin, and carbuncles, boils, abscesses, ulcers and various eruptions of an indolent character appear, depleting the system, and threatening life itself. The germs and poisons that so oppress and weaken the body and destroy the life-guring properties of the blood, rendering it thin and watery, must be overcome and carried out of the system before the patient can hope to get rid of Malaria and its effects.

While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. It Is almost time for the football play er to begin to let his hair grow. Mr. Addicks of New Jersey Is again showing eigns of an approaching erup tion. Col. Bryan is rapidly progressing teward plutocracy. From possessing a $460 heifer he has now got to floating about in Lewis Nixon's yacht. Perhaps It is due to the weather, but It has been some weeks since anybody was arrested in Kentucky for the mur der of Goebel. Then again that $100,000 fund may be exhausted. Thera are always Democrats who in slston reminding the public of the party's faults and past mistakes. This may be one reason why the organization has so much bard sledding. Mr. Henry C.

Washington Post: Senator Burton has made another explanation to his Kansas constituents, w&ich, if the man is sincere. Indicates that he is not acquainted with the provisions of the Constitution of the United States. Our exports of Agricultural imple ments, amounted in the calendar year 1901 to 516.714,808, against 15,979,909 in 1800. 13,54,524 in 1899, 19.073,384 in 1898 and J5.802.S07 In 1897. These exports in creased in value threefold in the five years from 1897 to 1901. inclusive. Gamblers average about the same. It is not unusual for the man who has lost bis money at three card monteorasheU game to appeal to the police to recover bis money. Gamblers on the Chicago Board of Trade who sold a lot of oats which they didn't have and stand to make good their contracts in cash have asked the courts to help them out of their trouble. In the fiscal year ended on June 30, 1908, there were built in the United States 90 steel Teasels, with a gross tonnage of 196,851 tons; and in the fiscal year of 1901 there were built 11 steel vessels and one iron vessel, with a gross tonnage of 252,699 tons. In the first nine months of the fiscal year 1902, ended on March 21. there were built 84 steel ves sels, with a gross tonnage of 151.340 tons. Vessels for the United States navy are not included in these figures. LIVE STOCK MOVEMENT. The commercial movement of the great staple commodities produced in the interior of the country are necessar ily subject to something of a lull dur ing the midsummer transition from one crop year to another. There is, neverthe less, in the data collected by the treas ury bureau of statistics, on Internal commerce up to the end of June, an op portunity for half-year comparisons of commercial movements, such as those of livestock, grain, provisions and pro duce. The five western livestock markets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis and St. Joseph, taken as an index of the trade generally, report total re ceipts of meat-producing stock, lnclud ing cattle, hogs and sheep, between Jan uary 1 and June 30. inclusive, of 14. 766,856 head. This was 709,283 head less than for the corresponding period of 1901, and 347,692 head less than for 1900. Taking the Chicago market as typical. the monthly average weight of cattle has begun to recover from the lower level of S40 pounds per head in April. In May the average weight rose to 857 pounds, and in June to 964 pounds per head. The average weight of hogs is likewise re covering, but the numerical supply Is still nearly a million short of the re ceipts for the first half of 1901. A rough gauge of the increase in the consuming demand for meats is found in the trunk line sbinments of provis from Chicago and Chicago points. These shipments go primarily eastward rrnm the centers nf nrnductlon In the interior, and secondarily southward. For the first 28 weeks of this year sv 217 tons of provisions entered into this movement, Compared with 572,111 tons last year. The gain of 13 per cent over last year amounted to an average of 3 054 tans tier week more than the week ly demand for 1901. The five markets reporting stocks of cut meats had, in round numhers 24S million pounds of cut meats in stock at the end of June, 1902, against 811 million pounds for the corresponding date in 1801. This is a decrease of 21 per cent. At Chicago the stocks were over IB million pounds be low the level of a year ago. At the Xour other sacking- centers reporting there was a reduction of 61 million pounds or 29 per cent from the basis of supply available at the end of June, M0L. GLOBS BIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Bow often have you occasion to say It's too bad!" A man who does his best, seldom fails to do something good. No man is so worthless that he can not get a good man to recommend him. How much sooner it gets too dark to saw wood than it does to play golf. When a woman is Interested in a man. she believes she ought to own him.- Some men can't get easy without slap ping you on the shoulder or poking you in the ribs. No woman can make a success of mar riage who refuses to pretend to be fooled when she isn't. A woman imagines that other women treat her cool unless they kiss her every time they meet. When a woman goes to work, the- La dles' Home Journal refers to her as a 'reduced gentlewoman." The women have great admiration for a man who says he never saved a cent until he got married. What has become of the old fashioned little girl who practiced on the piano six hours every day? Some colts which are very promising as two-year-olds, are carrying rural delivery mail at six years old. These new straw hats that are mashed in on top: we don't like them as well as we like last year's styles. What has become of the old-fashioned mustang pony that had to be broken every time it was hitched up? One of the funniest things in the world is to see a woman cry, not because she Wants to, but because she thinks she ought to. Thpr. arp two fildM nt pv.rv nuestloTi. And it's surprising how much there is to the other side, when you hear it fairly presented. Of course people are sympathetic, but all the same it is hard for an amateur to make a living. Get out of the amateur class as soon as you can. A man likes an industrious woman when he is hungry, but after he has eaten he likes to be amused by an Idle woman, who has had time to curl her hair. It is not only demanded of a man that he buy milk of his neighbor, but that he take all bis family whenever any of his neighbor's daughters get up amateur en tertainments. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. (From the Chicago News. Friends on an airship voyage should never fall out. No, Cordelia, a fisherwoman isn't neces sarily a mermaid. Affection is the lining that's missing from a breach-of -promise suit. Every man may have his price, but every woman want's a bargain. Economy as practiced by the average man seldom saves him any money. There will be no marrying in neayen. but how about the other, place? When a woman argues with a man she is outspoken and he is out-talked. A wise wife doesn't attempt to manage her husband; she simply feeds him and trusts to luck. The average girl Is a queer creature. She'll make fun of a young man one day and marry him the next. It's rather difficult for a man to stick to the truth for about a year after his first baby begins to say things. A man wastes more time during a six months courtship than he does in waiting xor street cars all the rest of his life. REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. I From the New York Press. Young married couples have to auarrel bo h uj teara not to. A woman can love a man of the most egregious vanity on earth, but not one of meea numuiiy. Few women make successful lawyers; they are unable to break themselves of the habit of giving free advice. You can skim the cream off milk and have something left that is sweet and good out HKim your love ana wnat is text 13 outer sbu. When a woman chane-ea her wav of do. ing up her hair and her husband doesn't notice It, she knows right away that he aoesn i love ner any more. The first thing for a man to do with the woman he marries is to force her to un derstand that he is going to be firm aooui maiung ner nave ner own way. MILES AWAY, (From the Philadelphia Press.) "Reckon dar's a case fo' yo down yon dab," said the Georgia cracker to the coroner of the county. "Jake's mule done kicked a niggah. "So?" remarked the coroner. "Did the mule hit him square?" "He sho'ly did." "Then I reckon it's a case fo' the coro ner in the 'j'inin county." Siamese Dress and Jewels. IFrom the London Grannie. 1 Now that ladies wear so many jewels in the dav time a seauenoe of rmlnr should be thought out. The Siamese arrangement may, perhaps, afford suggestions. In that country on Sunday red silk with a parure of rubies is worn: Monday brings a silver and white dreas and a necklace of moon stones: Tuesday Is dedicated to light red, with coral ornaments: Wedneadav is de voted to green, with emeralds; Thursday sees a display of variegated colors, with cat's eyes: Friday the lady Is arrayed In pale blue with flashing diamonds, and Sat urday the more somber, darker blue, with sapphires to match.

M I OK Man- i ii i j i 1 s BALDWIN IS BACK Arctic Explorer Returns to the Coast of or way. "Baffled bat Not Beaten' Is What He Says.' Honningsvaag, Norway, Aug. 1. Evelyn B. Baldwin, the Arctic explorer, arrived here today. He reported all his men In good health and said: 'We have been baffled but not beat- in." The Baldwin Zleeler DOlar expedition sailed about a year ago. It was one of tne best equipped that ever started lor the pole, carrying provisions sufficient for an absence of five years besides Hundreds of dogs. Jfixpiorer Baldwin carried when he left a year ago provisions for five years, and was well supplied with dogs and Siberian ponies trained to travel on the ice and accustomed to intense cold and snow. Until then doers and reindeer have been relied upon for motive power and the pony experiment was regarded with I -i r r (7 Evelyn B. Baldwin, the Kansas Explorer, Whose Return From m Search For the North Pole great interest. Baldwin's boats were the first ever fitted out with electricity, which was also experimental in a meas ure. He had a gasoline launch, built with an ice prow, and two large boats too big to take on the deck of his vessel. which were constructed doubly strong. They were towed to the ice fields. He had forty-two men in the party. including ten scientists, an artist and a photographer. The sailing masters and crew were Norwegians. Part of the scientifio staff were Germans and Swedes. Following is a description written on the day he sailed: It was as light as ordinary day and we should have been able to see the midnight sun whlcn never sets at Tromsoe between the mid dle of June and the middle of August, but a heavy shower was falling. Mr. Baldwin was in good spirits and full of confidence. We Joked a little about the advantage of buying return tickets, which he said might not be needed; and when I asked where a letter would reach him during the next five years he answered sadly that be wished he knew. He goes from here to Archangel, on the Russian side of the North Cape, where he takes on his dogs and ponies. The only place he can carry them is on the deck of the little ship, for every inch of space below deck is filled with sup plies, and there is scarcely room to squeeze through. On the deck the ani mals will hardly have space enough to lie down, but Mr. Baldwin says they won't be crowded long, for he expects to be in the ice within a few days after leaving Archangel. He goes direct to Franz Joseph Land, where he will de cide definitely upon his course when he ascertains the conditions of the ice, and will then start upon his journey into the wild, white, unknown world. Whalers who have come in this season renort that the polar sea is more open and free from ice than it has been for many years, and that of course is an encour aging circumstance. Bvelyn Baldwin is the youngest man and the slightest in stature who ever started upon an arctic exploration. He weighs less than 140 pounds and is only 36 years old, but has had the experience of two arctic expeditions, is blessed with a cool head, tireless muscles and an in flexible determination. He also posses ses what is equally essential, perfect self-reliance and the power of com mand. That is the most important characteristic for the commander of an expedition which Involves such risks. A man who leads must be able to con trol himself as well as others. He is also a native of Kansas. Although the America is very roomy and comfortable compared with the ?hips used on previous arctic expedi ions, she looked when she started as if it would be difficult to swing a cat anywhere, either below or above deck. Mr. Baldwin had a tiny cabin fitted up like the pantry of a Pullman dining car. There was a place for everything, and everything is in its place. There is a stove in addition to the steam radiator, a typewriter, two sewing machines, and a shelf, which runs around the entire cabin next the celling, is filled with books of all sorts. Ke has a revolving globe, an assortment of guns, most of which have been presented to him, and almost everything in the way of scien tific apparatus from a telescope to a kodak. The bridge of the America looks like a section of a weather bureau, with complete apparatus for measuring the wind and the cold and the dampness. There is an automatic sounding ap paratus at either end and every possible contrivance for the preservation of the ship and the protection of life and mak ing a record of the observations and ex periences. The artist haa his little stu dio and the photographer his dark ro&sa alongside the captain's cabin, while down below the members of the staff are stowed away as snug; as you can Imagine. GAINES MUST RETRACT. American Book Company Serves No tice on Advocate Editor. H. N. Gaines, publisher Of the Farmers' Advocate, has been formally notified by the attorneys for the American Book com pany to retract a statement published a short time ago or stand a libel cult. The publication complained of was that the American Book company gave five mem bers of the State Text Book commission $10,000 cash as a reward for their voting for the Appleton readers In awarding ttw school bock, contracts. Under the present libel law it is necessary to give a pub lisher a chance to correct any statements ho may have made erroneously before a suit for libel can be brought. Mr. Gaines did not publish a retraction this week. He ays the notice was not served on him until his issue for this week had been made up. What his action will be next week he has declined te state. RELIEF IS PROMISED. Topeka Shippers Are Beginning to Feel Encouraged. W. H. Davis, of the Parkhurst-Davis Mercantile company, and who is chair man of the committee of the Commercial club that was appointed to take up the ii Is Announced Today. freight rate problem of the city of To peka with the railroads, has returned from Chicago where he spent several days with W. A. L. Thompson of the Thompson Wholesale Hardware com pany in conference and consultation with railroad officials. Mr. Davis when seen by a reporter for the State Journal announced that he had no statemens to give out but inti mated that matters were moving along smoothly and that he had assurance that the arbitrary rates for Topeka ship pers would soon be changed. The members of the committe have been quietly working with the officials of the railroads, and it is said every indication points to the relief of the shippers of this city from the discrimi nations that have heretofore placed To peka dealers at a disadvantage in com petition with dealers at the Missouri river. FIREMEN GIVE UP. Can't Stand Heat of Big Santa Fe Locomotives. 81x Santa Fe firemen at Argentine quit their jobs this morning because they were afraid of being overcome by the terrino heat of the big locomotives. One man was overcome between Emporia and Argentine yesterday and the firemen claim that they can get jobs on other roads which do not use such big locomotives as the Santa Fe. It is reported here that trouble is brew ing among the machinists at Newton, who turns: tnat tne Santa re officials are try ing to get work done there on the Gulf line locomotives, where the strike is on. The Newton machinists threaten to strike. Another little strike, supplementary to the San Bernardino and Needles strike, was reported yesterday. Eight machinists at Point Richmond quit because they were not getting as much pay as the Southern Pacific road is giving its machinists. Su- oerintendent of .Motive rower nenaerson says that this trouble will likely be ad- justea witnout mucn trouoie. Science Knocked Out by Fact (From the Saturday Evening Post.) Senator William P. Frye is an ardent lover of the sport of fishing. Once, after his return from his summer's outing, he met the celebrated naturalist, Agassis. Glowingly Senator Frye described his ex periences. "Among my triumphs," Bald he, "was the capture of a speckled trout that weighed fully eight pounds. Dr. Agassis smiled and said: "Reserve that for the credulous and convivial cir cles of rod and reel celebrants, but spare the feelings of a sober scientist." "This is not a campaign whopper I'm telling; I weighed that trout carefully, and it was an eight-pounder." "My dear Mr. Frye." remonstrated Dr. Agassis, permit me to inform you that the salvelinus fontinalis never attains that extraordinary weieht. The creature you caught could not have been a speckled trout. All the authorities on ichthyology. would disprove your claim. "Ail I can say to that," said Senator Frye. "is that there are, then bigger fish in Maine than are dreamed of in your science." The next season he caught a speckled trout that weighed nine pounds. He pack ed it in ice and sent It to ur. Agassis. A few days later he received a telegram which read "The science of a life time kicked to death by a fact. Agassiz." Says Tracy Story Is a Fake. Spokane, Wn., Aug. 1.

As a result of a protest filed Thurs day by the people living on East Eighth avenue, it is possible that a quarter or a million Vltrlned brick fur nished by Lew Blackman for the pav ing of East Eighth from Jefferson street to tne snunganunga creek bridge may be condemned. Seventeen, property own ers, representing a great mnay lots east of Jefferson street, signed the pro-, test, which is now in the hands of the city engineer. It is claimed that the brick are too brittle to stand traffic. The city engineer says that nothing can be done. He says he has inspected the brick complained of and they are as good as any he nas of the Blackman brick," and that they come up to the sample on exniDition at nis office. Blackman brick seem to be (retting into bad repute. Though not generally known, it is a fact that the people liv ing east of Jefferson street on East Eighth made such a strong nrotest to Wall Hanley when they found that xMttLCKirian Dries: were to De usea in filling the contract that Mr. Blackman. rather than have any trouble, and to avoid an injunction suit which was threatened by M. Oswald, and other property holders who objected to Black- man prick, allowed the Capital City Brick company to furnish all the "brick for East Eighth from Qulncy to Jeffer son street, a total of three blocks. The protest which has been filed against the Blackman brick on East Eighth street is as follows: "We, the undersigned property own ers on East Eighth street between Jef ferson street and the Shunganunga creek bridge, having examined the brick delivered from Qulncy to Jefferson street, and also from Jefferson down toward the creek, respectfully protest against the quality of brick that is In tended for paving East Eighth avenue toward the creek. It la a very inferior quality compared with the brick above Jefferson and as we are taxed the same rate as other property owners we pro test and earnestly request just as good a quality of brick as the other part of East Eighth avenue. We therefore re quest you to have said brick examined before being laid." The signers of this petition are as fol lows:, Mary D. Holliday, W. L. Nagel, A. T. Hughes, A. M. Bell. Viola P. Langston, J. W. Belknap, Mrs. M. Fin nic A. H. Johnson, H. O. Austin, Chas. M. Fisher. W. H. Fyer. Mrs. M. Boyd. O. A. Peck. Mrs. M. Gandlon. John P. leonard, O. W. Blood, J. B. Raber. it is a Dig Question which the peo ple on East Eighth avenue have raised, and is likely to produce considerable contention in the council. City Engi neer McCabe said today that be could do nothing but refer the matter to the council for settlement. Blackman's brick have been found unsatisfactory in a good many olaces in Topeka where they have been laid. On Jefferson street, between Fourth and i"irtn tne city last spring compelled Mr. Blackman to take up a lot of bad brick extending the entire length of the block. The brick had crumbled to pieces and were almost worthless. It is claimed that the brick which Mr.Blackman used to replace these defective brick are crumbling; to pieces just as the others did. On Monroe between Third and Fourth and on Madison between Fourth and Fifth, both of which blocks are paved with Blackman brick, the pavement is said by those who are competent to judge to be in almost as bad shape as Jefferson street was before it was re paired. Mr. Blackman may be required to replace the defective brick on these streets.. On the other hand, Mr. Blackman seems to have a strong pull in some di rections, for only a few weeks ago when it was announced that arrange ments had been made to pave East Fourth street with Lawren brick, which are generally thought to be the best brick used in Topeka, the people on East Fourth got up a petition and asked the contractor to use Blackman's brick, and this was done. Mr. Black man's brick is also used on West Eighth street and part of the Washburn col lege pavement and so far as known Is giving good service. There have been no protests. However, there is no heavy traffic on those streets. Mr. Blackman also has some staunch friends in the council, who are certain to help him retain his right to furnish brick for the East Eighth street pave ment. He is a big taxo&yer. and the council will try to keep his good will if possible. City Engineer McCabe does not deny that the brick complained of on East Eighth street are as good as the sample brick which Mr. Blackman has "on file" with the city engine. "It might be said." remarked Mr. Mc Cabe today, "that the council should have refused to accept this sample of brick which Mr. Blackman filed. The councilmen generally understand the nature of Blackman brick. I think, and when we have been awarding contracts for paving I have been careful to have it understood which kind of brick we would get by giving the contract to cer tain contractors. "I have been told by a gentleman who has had twenty-five years experience in the vitrified brick business, a man wbo does not live anywhere near Topeka, that the trouble with the Blackman brick is in the manufacture and not in the character of the material used. This party says that the shale is not ground fine enough, that It is not com pressed enough, that the bricks are made too wet and are not allowed to dry enough before being placed in the kilns. This makes them brittle. The BlackTnen plant uses the pure shale for making its brick, and the Capital City plant mixes sand with the shale. The sand adds toughness to the brick." Not all of the brick for paving East Eighth from Jefferson to the creek have been hauled to the ground, but about 250,000 are stacked up along the road waiting for the grading to be done. The Capital City Brick company has about finished hauling brick for paving west of Jefferson street. Becord Breaking Bains. Memphis, Tenn.. Aug.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJRXAIs. FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST i 1S03. GET TIIEJRISCO. No Longer Any Doubt About Bock Island Merger. Talk About Santa Fe Is Again Retired. FRICK HAS CONFERENCE Talks Orer Situation With Santa Fe Men. Report of Merger Sends Frisco Stock Up. New Tork, Aug-. 1. The new Rock Is land company, which is to take over the present Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway and its various branches, was organized yesterday afternoon. W. H. Moore was elected chairman of the board. W. B. Leeds, the present presi dent of the railroad, was elected presi dent of the new company and the fol lowing directors were named: Alexan der E. Orr, Og-den Mills, G. S. Brew ster, W. B. Leeds, A. R. Flower. W. H. Moore, r. G. Reid. George D. McMur try. F. L. Hlne. F S. Wheeler. Mar shall Field, James H. Moore. R. R. Ca ble and H. C. Frick. This board Is the same as the old board of directors of the Rock Island with the exception of Mr. Frick. who is added. It was' after 6 o'clock last night when President Leeds, James H. and W il. Moore, R. R. Cable and the other Rock Island railroad managers broke up their conference on W all street. Five wait ing carriages took them up town, where it is understood they will remain over night in place of going to their custo mary habitations at the seashore. To morrow, it is,4earned. will probably witness the 'Conclusion of the arrange ments regarding details of the new Rock Island plans. Though not yet announced it is learn ed that the taking over of the Frisco line was decided upon late in the after noon. The formal convention of the property and the necessary legal steps may not be perfected for some days. however, as the transfer Involves doing business with a dozen or more corpora tions and all the papers Incident to the transaction must be scrutinized by a dozen different legal advisers. It Is understood that the terms are the same as reported by your correspondent yes terday, involving the assuming of the securities already issued by the Frisco company and the substitution of new Rock Island stock for them with a bo nus to the Frisco stockholders, which amounts to a premium, or rather, as reckoned, a dividend. That the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe may yet be secured by no means looks as doubtful as it did. There were numerous conferences Thursday between the legal representatives of H. C. Frick, the great Pennsylvania coat, ooKe ana iron magnate, and those interested in the Santa Fe. Mr. Frick has lately taken a deep interest in the Rock Island expansion plans and he is looked upon in Wall street as a most for midable acquisition to the financial strength of that reconstructed system. Old railroad operators regard the capture of Mr. Frick by the Moore brothers as noth ing short of a prize, and his entry into the railroad circle is thought to be a strong Indication that Rock Island may be look ing for conquests in the eastern and At lantic seaboard territory despite the em phatic statements that the Rock Island's expansion would lead toward the Gulf of Mexico as the preferred point of trans atlantic shipments. The placing of Mr. Frick on the direc torate of the new Rock Island Securities company Incorporated in New Jersey, and his identification with all the late moves l in the plain Rock Island reorganization. has undoubtedly strengthened Rock Island in spite of the pounding which has been given the road all the week. Rock Island stock rose points yesterday, the largest rise of any stock recorded on the street except Colorado uei ana iron, which J. W. Gates is rigging the market with. Something like 2S.0CO shares of Atchisrm, Topeka Santa Fe were traded in yes terday on 'change, but the price declined when it was learned that there was noth ing doing In Rock Island circles.

Additional Ocean Service For ths Southern Pacific New Tork, Aug. 1. Another change has been made by the Southern Pacific in its new plan for handling ocean traf fic between New York, New Orleans and Galveston, says the Journal of Commerce. A short time ago announce ment was made that the Southern Pa cific or Morgan line, would adandon New Orleans as a through port and would establish a direct service to Gal veston for all through traffic. It is now learned that the Cronwell line, which has been plying between New York and New Orleans as a service distinct from the Morgan line, has been placed un der the management of the Southern Pacific; the local agency and offices have been abolished and the three ves sels of the line will hereafter sail from the Morgan line pier making semi weekly service to New Orleans. Wheth er the Cronwell line will continue as a separate corporation or will be formal ly taken over by the Southern Pacifia, is unknown. The Morgan line's arrangement for its through traffic will take effect to morrow with the sailing of El Norte for Galveston. At the same time the tomua will be dispatched from the same pier for New Orleans. Capt. Streeter Wins Point. Chicago Aug. 1.

Sam Evans, .who lives fifteen miles nrth of here made 'i statement to Sheriff Brown that last Monday a man came to his cabin and said that he was Tracy. He had a 30-30 Win chester and two revolvers. He pointed a gun at Evens and compelled him to fur nish him with food. The stranger show ed Evans a wound in the back of his head and said that he was shot by a member of a posse on the west side. He asked' the best route to the Columbia river, and rode off, but first 'warned Evans not to give him away. From'l o'clock until 9 o'clock at night Harry Tracy was an unwelcome guest at the ranch of W. A. Sanders and S. J. McEldowney, six miles down the Col umbia river. Tracy came out of the Cas cades riding one horse, packing another and leading a third in reserve. He car ried a Winchester and two revolvers. He took dinner and supper at the ranch, having the men well covered with his rifle. Towards evening, he forced McEl downey to bring him two fresh horses and turned loose his jaded animals. He then took Sander's Baddle and ordered McEldowney to go with him to a hand ferry ten miles down the Columbia, but Mrs. McEldowney began to cry so Tracy said that he would not insist on that and left alone. He threatened that if his presence was made known he would re turn and do some killing. He headed south. NOW COMES THE RUSH. Cheap Rates to Colorado Go Into Ef fect Today on All Lines.

It is here now, and we expect to do a record breaking business to Colorado during the next two weeks. The Colorado Flyer is certain to be the favorite train, as It carries all the equipment of the celebrated California Limited."

Recognition of Union aud Nine Hour Hay. Employers Offer an Advance of 7 Per Cent. Chicago, Aug. 1. Boilermakers and shipbuilders and their helpers to the number of 1,500 men employed In the contract and job shops In this city, struck today because the Master Boiler makers' association refused to concede demands made upon them. The prin cipal demand Is an increase in the wage scale of the boilermakers from 30 cents an hour to 35 cents for Inside work, and 50 cents for outside work. Helpers and heaters want an Increase of from 20 to 26 cents for Inside work and from 25 cents to 30 cents for outside work. Other demands are: Recognition of the union; nine hour day inside and eight hour day outside; double time for holiday work, and time and one-half for over-time. The boilermakers and helpers declare they are prepared to continue the strike indefinitely. The Master Boiler n akers association has offered to concede an advance of 7 per cent, but its officers say it is impossible to grant all the de mands of the union. It is feared the strike will tie up all work in the branches affected. Before noon today it was reported by union officials that hundreds of boiler makers were leaving- Chicago to seek work in adjacent cities. Practically all work at boilershops has ceased and hardly any work is in operation. Em ployers predict that the strike will kill the boilermaking business in this citv. Already they declare, other cities can secure workmen at much cheaper wages than are now paid here and as a con sequence work is being diverted in their favor. ROCK ISLAND'S PLAN. Details of the Proposed Reor ganization Scheme. New York, Aug. 1. Formal announce ment of the reorganization of the Chi cago, Rock Island Pacific company has been made in a circular letter which was sent to all stockholders of record. With a few exceptions the main details have already been published. The cir cular says in part: "The Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railroad company of Iowa, hereby of fers to purchase all the outstanding stock of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway company, certificates for which shall on or before the first day of September, 1902,-be deposited under the terms of this offer with the Central Trust company of this city. For each share or stock ol saia railway company, of the par value of $100, so deposited, to deliver $100 in its four per cent gold bonds of 2002; $70 in the preferred stock of the Rock Island company of New Jersey and $100 in the common stock of the Rock Island company of New Jersey. "The Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railroad company is a railroad corpora tion organized under the laws of the state of Iowa, with power to acquire thp lines of railroad and the capital stock of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railroad company. Its authorized se curities are: "$125,000,000 stock; $75,000,000 four per cent gold bonds, known as Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railroad com pany, four per cent gold bonds of 2002. "The four per cent gold bonds of 2002 are limited to the aggregate face value of $75,000,000 and are to be secured un der a trust agreement with the Centra: Trust company of New York by deposit and pledge of all shares of the capital stock of the present Chicago, Rock Is land Pacific company which may be acquired under this offer or purchase or otherwise and can be issued only to a face amount equal to the par value of the stock pledged under the trust agree ment. "The bonds axe to mature November 1, 2002, to bear interest at the rate of four per cent from November 1, 1902, payable semi-annually on the first days of May and November, both principal and interest to be payable in the city of New York free of tax. The bonds are coupon bonds for $1,000 each, with the privilege of registration as to prin cipal and registered bonds in the de nomination of $5,000, or multiples there of. The coupon bonds and registered bonds are interchangeable. "The Rock Island company is a cor poration organized under the laws of the state of New Jersey. It has no mortgage indebtedness. Its authorized capital stock Is $50,000,000 in two classes: "$54,000,000 of non cumulative preferred stock and $96,000,000 of com mon stock. "The preferred stock is entitled to non cumulative yearly dividend at the rate of four per cent for the year 1902 and for each and every year thereafter including the year 1909, at the rate of five per cent per annum for the year 1910 and for each and every year there after until and including the year 1916, and at the rate of six percent per annum thereafter. The preferred stock is also preferred as to capital.

The amount of pre ferred stock can not be Increased save with the consent of two-thirds of each class of each stock. "The Rock Island company has en tered into agreements with the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific railroad com pany, of Iowa, under which, in consid eration of deliveries of its preferred and common stock for the purpose of the foregoing offer, the Rock island company will become the owners, as issued of the capital stock of the Iowa company "Accordingly upon the acceptance of such offer by all stockholders of the present company, the Iowa company will have acquired the entire capital stock of the present company, while the entire capital stock of the Iowa com pany will, in turn, be held by the Rock Island company, so that through the stocks of the Rock Island company to be delivered in pursuance of this offer of purchase the proportionate interest of stockholders of the present Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway company, in the railroad properties and in their future earnings is preserved."

Michigan Democrats Meet In State Convention at Detroit. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 1. The Michigan Democratic state convention seemed to prove that harmony is not a virtue al together unattainable in Democratic ranks. Judge George H.'Durand, of Flint, who filled a vacancy on the su preme bench of this state during the year 1892, and who is generally credit ed with being a Gold Democrat at heart, though not a bolter in 1896, was nominated on the fourth ballot to run for governor this fall. Judge Durand did not attend the convention or au thorize anyone to state that he would accept the nomination if it was accord ed him and the free silver element made a vigorous fight to defeat him, intimat ing that he would likely leave the party in the lurch and either refuse to run or conduct a luke warm campaign. Judge Durand was not even nominated by his home delegation, the one from Genesee county. His name was pre sented by ex-Congressman Tarsney of Detroit. Judge Durand's son, who was there, refused to encourage any one who was booming his father's candi dacy. It was stated that the judge was out on a fishing expedition somewher in the northern part of the state and could not be reached by wire. But despite the absence of any defi nite assurance of acceptance from him, and the constant repetition by the sil ver people of the suggestion that Du rand might decline to run if nominated the candidacy of the Gold Democrat from Flint started out strong and made steady going until his nomination was effected on the fourth ballot. After the nomination had been made unanimous on motion of D. J. Campau, of Detroit, the generally accepted leader of the sil ver Democrats, State Senator Helms, of Lansing, who had made a close fight for nomination, gracefully declared from the platform that he was ready to put bis shoulder to the wheel and work heart and soul for the nominee. After the nomination of a candidate for governor the convention adjourned to allow time for a discussion of candi dates for other places on the ticket. The platform adopted by the conven tion is devoted almost entirely to state issues, the only mention of national is sues being an endorsement of the elec tion of United States senators directly by the people. The resolutions declare that the de struction of boss rule is the supreme issue. They charge the present Repub lican administration with getting into power two years ago by gross corrup tion and manipulation of caucuses and nominating conventions and demand a primary election law under which all nominations shall be made directly by the people. Equal taxation and assess ments and the repeal of what are term ed the "ripper laws," of the last state legislature, which are said to be a vio lation of the right of cities to have home rule, form other planks. The adoption of the system known as the in itiative and referendum is demanded. Another plank favors municipal own ership of public utilities, subject to the referendum. The ticket was completed by the nom ination of the following candidates, no opposition developing to amy of the names presented: Lieutenant Governor John F. Bible, of lona. Secretary of State John Donovan, Bay City, Mich. Treasurer Wilbur F. Davidson, Port Huron. Auditor General David A. Hammond, Ann Arbor. Attorney General William F. Knight, Grand Rapids. Superintendent of Public Instructions Prof. Woodbridge M. Ferris, Big Rap ids. Commissioner of Land Office Arthur P. Watson, Sheboygan. Member State Board of Education Charles F. Field. Hastings. Justice of Supreme Court To fill va cancy, Benjamin D. Brown. Menominee. The convention adjourned sine die at 10 o clock last night. ELECTRICITY IS ADOPTED. Santa Fe Settles the Long-Standing Locomotive Headlight Problem. Fifty of the fastest Santa Fe pas senger locomotives pulling trains be tween Chicago and Albuquerque, N. M. are to be equipped with electric head lights, an order having been made Thursday with the Pyle National com pany for the same. For a long time the company seems to have hesitated before making so large an order of electric lighting apparatus for its engines... but evidently the half a dozen or less which have been in use have given satisfac tion. The chief objection which always has been offered' to the electric head light has been the cost: often the case has been that the apparatus has got out of repair while the trains were in motion and before its condition was known enough damage had been done to entail considerable cost in getting it in shape. The electric light is a bril liant one and illuminates a railroad track for a long distance in front of the train. The Pyle National company had a fine exhibit at the Buffalo exposition and some of its apparatus there was donated to the use of the Topeka rail road Y. M. C. A. for use in its educa tional classes. There is also one of the Pyle lights in the Santa Fe instruction car. Last Coping Stone Laid. New York. Aug. 1. Announcement is made that the last coping stone of the Nile dam at Assouan was laid on Wednesday, says a Times dispatch from London.

The reservoir will supply one bil lion cubic meters of water annually. The dam at Assouan is one and a quarter miles long. The works at Assouan proba bly will be finished by the end of the year.

Chicago, Aug. 1. WHEAT Quiet, that was In marked contrast to the recent char acteristic excitement, hung over all the speculative pits of the board of trade to- i day at the opening. Trade was very .light and brokers were given largely to gossip J over the tail ends of the July corners. Most important of the developments was the statement by one of the board directors that the directory intended investigating the action of members who have conducted corners. September wheat opened Yc lower to a shade higher, at 6969c, touched 69c, but eased again to 69c Influences were largely bearish. Receipts were good, pros pects for spring crops were excellent and cables slumped rather sharply. Trade hung Are with little doing one way or the other. Local receipts were 295 cars 7 cars of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 216 cars, making a total for the three points of 511 cars, against 407 cars last week and 441 cars a year ago. Short covering, a fair cash demand from the southwest and a general reaction from the long continued daily slumps, pushed weakening wheat prices up to a firm close, with September c up, at 70c. CORN September corn started c up at 564(S55Hc, on the very small receipts only 54 cars. Crop reports, however, in dicated heavy growth and excellent pros pects. Trade hung idly and the price hov ered between the two opening figures for the first hour. Cash corn was at a good premium over the future deliveries. Fair buying set in late and September corn rallied sharply to 5614c, closing l?4c higher, at 56c. OATS Oats were very dull and steady. September opened c down, at 31fi 3114c, on the weather and crop conditions, but rallied to 81H31c. It is learned that 600,000 bushels were delivered on July con tracts yesterday and 450,000 bushels were in default. The bull clique has about 1, 250,000 bushels on hand, but of these char ter room for 720.000 bushels has been se cured already. Receipts were 160 cars 65 cars of contract grade. Brooklyn Transit followed Manhattan with a 2 point rise. New York Central advanced lhi points and New York Dock 2. These movements affected the general market very slightly. Room profit taking carried prices oft again and the closing was cull and heavy. PROVISIONS Provisions were easy with an easier hog market. Hogs were in scan ty supply, but packers depressed yard prices because of the recent slump in products. September pork opened 7c down, at $16.70, and slumped to $16.55; Sep tember lard opened 12 15c down, at $10.70, and September ribs 7c lower, at $10.27, and sold off to $10.22.

Carefulness Her Undoing. (From the Onlooker.) A story that is now going the rounds is laid to the door of a plquante and dainty little French lady who was more or less in evidences at such places as were visited by the Rochambeau embassy. The humor of the situation lies in the extreme dif fidence of the Frenchwoman. She is sen sitive to to the point of a double ner vousness and realizing the liability to err in a foreign tongue she was generally careful to make selections of each indi vidual word. Wherefore she was but the more amusing, when one evening feeling moved to remonstrate with a gentleman upon the chilliness of our northern May, she said: "Reely eet ees so cold here all se time sat I have sat all ze day weetth my feet over se transome." 6l9 Kansas Ave. We are wide awake to the fact that ordinary trade sales, or sales limited to but a few items, can hardly be effective inducements to bring crowds of buyers to the store.

KING IS NOT FIT. But There Is a Determination to Have tli Coronation. New York, Aug. 1. Optimism regarding the coronation is slowly reviving under the stimulative effects of the surgeons' bulletins, says a London despatch to the Tribune. Whether the King's will is im perious or his medical advisers consider it necessary to humor him, there ia a de termined "effort to subject the patient, who is nearly able to make one or two turns on the deck of the yacht, to the fatigue and excitement of the coronation cere monial. Motives of state prevail, although there is general agreement among medi cal men that an ordinary patient would not be fit for so hazardous an experiment a few weeks after almost serious oper ation. Tha business of selling seats Is looking up now that the programmes of the pro cession and the ritual are reappearing, and the decorators here and there arc touching up the faded glories of the June preparations. DEB GERMAN COBBLER. HAS A "KISSING STONE.' Young People I. ike the Idea of Ella W Heeler Wilcox's Husband. New Haven, Aug. 1. The husband of Ella Wheeler Wilcox ia responsible for something which Is drawing young peo ple, as a magnet does Iron filings, to her bungalow at Short Beach, eight miles from this city. A pretty stone path, walled with ma sonry, leads to the outermost rocky point, and at a well near the sea edge there is imbedded an old Irish "kissing stone." The stone is a bit of flat rook eighteen inches square, and, besides having the date 1677 Inscribed on it. there are chiselled two hearts pierced by a Cupid's arrow. The stone is set in the top of a side wall and makes an available seat. Of course, there is a tradition that goes with the stone, and the only way the tradition can be heard at Short Beach or in Ireland for that matter, is within whispering distance of the stone. Moreover, the whispering should be done only at evening time, preferably with a moon hiding behind clouds. Mr. Wilcox has Just completed this addition to the bungalow point, and there have been a good many youn people interested in the wall because it affords a much better resting; place than the rough rocks. Every evening the wall is lined with a bevy of girls, and sometimes young men are there, too, in order to explain the tradition of the old Irish stone. The wall of which the "kissing stone" has become a part is. according to the scores of young ladies who visit it, a good place to get away from mosqui toes, and the young men say it is an excellent spot to explain an old tradition. A General Strike of Pressmen. New York, Aug. 1. At a meeting of the executive board of the Franklin As sociation of Pressmen, a resolution has been adopted recommending the or dering of a general strike of 1,000 press feeders in 49 printing press establish ments for an advance of from $12 to 14 a week.

Second Man to Pay an Odd Bet on the Fight. Chicago, Aug. 1. A man rolling a pea nut over downtown streets to thestralns of a brass band, which led the way for him, created considerable amusement last evening;. Thomas Charbonnean, a blacksmith, who thought that Fttzsim mons was invincible, wagered with Joseph Garey in the event of Fitz'a de feat to roll a peanut from Fifth avenue and Madison street to Monroe and Dear born, then to Dearborn and- Madison and back to Madison and Fifth avenue. In a crouching position he started over the course and performed his task with as much ease as the champion dis played In disposing of his adversary in the eighth round. Behind him. carrying a banner with the inscription, "He bet on Fitz," walked Garey. The peanut will be gilded and sent to Fitzslmmons. Oregon Lumber Shipment. Portland. Ore.. Aug. 1. Oregon lum ber to the extent of fully 200 million feet has been shipped from the state since the beginning of this year. Of this amount 54.642.201 feet have gone by wa ter and the balance by rail. Rail ship ments have gone sonth and east. A lit tle less than half the water shipments have gone direct to foreign ports. Be sides this great volume of lumber in all for-ns shingles, box snooks, sashes and doors and sawed and round lumber, the local consumption has been large. and all the mills have been crowded to their full capacity to Ifeep up with the demand. The lumber business of Ore gon never saw such activity before.

Anderson, secre tary of the Commercial club, fell from a swing while playing yesterday after noon and suffered a complicated frac ture of the right arm at the elbow. Dr. W. S. Lindsay was called to care for the Injury. The bones were broken both above and below the elbow and Dr. Lindsay announces that it may be necessary to amputate the arm. If this is not necessary, it is almost certain the arm will remain stiff. The little boy was playing in a swing and felt while about ten feet in the air. He fell with his weight on his right elbow. The splintered bones were fore ed through the flesh. SHE WAS TOO OLD. Why Boa Glenn Wasn't Sent to In dustrial School. Rose Glenn, a little negro girl, occu pied the attention of Judge Fagan in the probate court this morning and the court bad to resort to the family Bible to determine her age. Lulu Kinnard, her married sister, said she was 15 years old and wanted her sent to the Industrial school at Beloit as her parents are dead. Another sis ter, Molly Glenn, said she was 16 years old and therefore too old to be sent to Beloit. Judge Fagan finally ordered the family Bible brought into court. He found, written in red ink, that Rose Glenn was born July 3. 1886, and was therefore too old. Mrs. Kinnard main tained that the entry in the Bible was wrong but the court accepted if.

Everything in Readiness for the Big Concert. The Banda Rossa will arrive in Tope ka fron Denver tonight. Even a few of the electric fans in tne Auditorium turned on this morning demonstrated that the big hall will be most comfortable when the Banda Rossa gives its two concerts there to morrow. The fans have been put in especially for this engagement. They are such an improvement that it would be an excellent idea to have them there permanently. Even in the winter, with a large crowd in the room as was demon strated at the Nordica concert, the at mosphere becomes oppressive and those sitting near windows object to having them opened. A few fans stirring the air would bring comfort to those sitting in the body of the house. "Sorrentino night" marked the close of a magnificently successful month for the Banda Rossa in Denver last evening. Thousands of Denverites and tourists turned out to bid the big Red band adieu. The organization, headed by. Sorrentino and his secretary, J. Angelb, left at 1 o'clock this afternoon on the Overland limited of the Union Pacific railway. They came to Topeka without leaving the train and will arrive at 5:50 o'clock in the morning. The band travels in two cars. There will he pleasant employment for the bandmen in the morning view ing the Modern Woodtnen parade and listening to the march music of the best amateur band on earth, Marshall's and the other bands in the pageant. In the afternoon and evening their interest will be wholly in their performances at the Auditorium, for these Italians play with their whole hearts and souls. The fifty seats sent to Rossville ear lier in the week were not sufficient to supply the demand and the town tele phoned an order for as many more this morning. Large attendance from the city as well as from out of town for the con certs is assured. Tickets continue to sell well at Stansfield's. while a rush may be expected tomorrow. The bal cony seems to be the favorite place, though the rear parquette and the front dress circle will be very desirable be cause of the large number of ceiling fans suspended over them. The programmes tomorrow are most alluring. "Willow Grove" is on both, while the "William Tell" overture. "Turkish Patrol," grand selections from "Andrae Chenier" and "Carmen." "Za inona," Celebrita'' polka, and "A Fran resa" march will be heard in the after noon.

Topeka Preacher Has Exeiting 'Experience in Colorado. The Boulder Herald, of Boulder. CoL, gives the following graphic account of the exoerience of Rev. H. A. Ott and family, of the First Lutheran church, Topeka, on July 23: Rev. H.-A. Ott and wife, Mrs. Young and two children, and Mrs. Thomas, while visiting Bald Mountain and the snow banks yesterday, failed to return to Ward in time for the last excursion train and found themselves at Francis with the prospects of spending the night there and Mr. Ott unable to fill his chalk talk engagements. He wired for consent for a push car to bring his party down to Boulder. Mr. Clark, the agent at Ward, manipu lated the brake and Mr. Ott describes the wild trip of 2S miles as thrilling, and interrupted as it was with dangers from collisions and one jump off the track, it was a ride they will not Sspn forget. They wired the section men to meet them at the Four Mile stretch of level track, and the trip was made in two hours. Below Sunset at dusk on rounding a curve they ran into a small home-made push-car which some boys were shoving up the mountain for a ride down. The ladies sitting with feet trailing over the front of the car first saw the obstruc tion and set un a wild shriek. Mr. Clark plied the brake to the utmost of his strength; still the car shot down ward. The boys leaped off their frail truck and one tried to Dush it down grade so as to decrease the shock of the coming collision. In a second the two trucks met. The lad was hurled into the bank at the side of the track. The smaller truck was knocked off the rails and dragged ten rods down the grade, smashing it and littering the track with broken wheels. At no mo ment was there any let up of cries and shrieks. The company's truck when brought to a standstill was off the track. In the darkness for awhile it was impossible to tell who was' hurt. However, it was soon discovered that the boy who tried to push his truck down the hill was only slightly shocked. The other lad soon put in his appear ance, running down the track and on seeing the wheels of his own frail con cern scattered along the way, exclaim ed: "We don'.t care if our machine is smash ed, just so nobody is hurt." Nobody was hurt and again placing their truck on the tracks the Chautauquans Were shooting down the grade lanternless. with every rock and tree by the roadside resolving liseir into anotner car, a man or a cow, or some other danger-lurking object. "After running six miles more assurance came again when on rounding another curve suddenly a "cow on the track" was the shout from several throats in a chorus. Mr. Ott declares that the cow looked as big as an elephant in the gloom of the night. The brake was applied in an in stant and the danger of another collision was imminent. The ladies pulled in their feet and the whole crowd of six people bunched themselves in the center of the car and awaited the shock.. However, the cow seemed suddenly as badly scared as were the tourists and struck a tremendous gait down the tracks with the car within a foot of her heels and soon got out of the way. All began, to feel free again and on the car came, plunging into the darkness at every curves when suddenly again, in the near distance could be seen dark ob jects on the track. .AH yelled and the brake was applied in time to just miss two calves which scampered off the track down the brink, Mr. Clark muttering: "Guess we would have gotten over the calves all right after running- over one truck and nearly killing a coW' The party landed 4n the upper yards at Boulder at 9:15, none the worse for the ex citing trip and are the heroes of the camp today. ENDS IN A TRAGEDY. Men Interfered in Hair Pulling Match Between, Women. Logansport, Ind., Aug.-1. Noah Suters will die from a bullet wound in his neck, inflcted by Bert Saunders at Dunkirk. It was the result of a family feud. Saunders is only 15. According to his story he came home to And Mi. Suters and his mother pulling each other's hair. Just as he arrived, he says, Suters rushed out and joined the conflict. The boy went to the house, took his father's revolver from a drawer, and, returning, shot Suters. His mother then turned him over to the police. He is charged with shooting with intent to kill. Neighbors say that the families have been at sword's points for years. They have adjacent property, separated by a "spite fence." Over this fence taunts, it is claimed, have been hurled back and forth for weeks. Saunders claims that Suters attacked him and threw him down before the shooting.' Saunder's mother has filed an affidavit charging Suters, the dying man, with as sault and battery. Saunder told the po lice Suters stood by and urged his wife to renewed attacks upon the boy's mother Suters is a man of remarkable strength, recently he has figured in a number of en counters growing out of the neighbor hood disagreement. During the street paving here he gained notoriety by lift ing thirteen bricks with one hand, the best previous record being eight. Mrs. Suters claims the hostilities commenced today when the prisoner's mother threw a bucket of dirty water in her face, and she retaliated with a broomstick. GEN. SMITH LANDS.
