A0 LAST EDITION. TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS. AUG UST 5, 1902. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. JIM LEGATE DEAD. The Teteran Kansas Politician Passes Away. Prominently Identified With Politics Since 1854. HIS FIGHT FOR LIFE. For Days His Life Hung by a Thread. Came to Kansas a Proslarery Man, but Soon Changed. Ja-nes F. Legate, veteran politician, legislator and lobbyist, is dead. His long life, nearly fifty years of which was scent in Kansas, closed at his home in Leavenworth shortly before 9 o'clock last night. Several weeks ago he suffered from a stroke of paralysis, and it was an nounced that he could live only a few days, but he rallied and became much better. About two weeks ago, however. The Late James F. Legate, as le suffered a relapse and his death has J been daily expected since. Immedi ately after the relapse his physician an nounced That death was .only a question of a few hours, but the vitality of the aged politician kept him alive until last night. He was 72 years old. For thirty-five years the personal his tory of James F. Legate was closely in terwoven with that of the state of Kan sas. During a greater part of this time he was a member of the Kansas legis lature, and had much to do with shad ing the affairs of the state. He was one of the last of the "old guard" "Jim" Lane, Governor Robinson, Sam Wood and others who participated In the bor der struggles in Kansas preceding the civil war. Although Legate was a Republican through nearly his entire life, he ca.-ne to the state a Democrat, and is said to have come under instructions from Jef ferson Davis to help make Kansas a southern state, but his Massachusetts training got the better of his connection with the pro-slavery cause, and he drifted into a free state meeting one night soon after he landed in the state and was called on for a speech. He be came enthused with the free state sen timent and made a rabid free state speech. This broke his connection with the pro-slavery element and he was a violent free state advocate ever after wards. Legate was born in Worcester county, Mass., November 23, 1829. He came from an old English family and his ancestors fought in the Revolution. He was edu cated at Wilbraham academy,-- Mass., and read law in the office of Benjamin J Butler. Soon after he attained his majority he went to Mississippi to teach school. Then he entered the law office of Elisha Miller, at Holly Springs. The politician's instinct was already strong in him and he became a candidate for the Mississippi legislature as an anti Jefferson Davis member. He was elect ed but for some reason or other he vo ted for Jefferson Davis for United State senator. This formed the begin ning of his connection with the future leader of the south. In 1854, when the struggle In Kansas was just commencing. Legate went to Washington, where Davis was secretary of war, and after conferring with Davis lie came to Kansas, armed with a letter from the secretary of war to CoL E. V. Sumner, then In command at Fort J.eavenworth. July 5, 1854, is given as the date that Legate landed in Kansas, but this is incorrect. That is the date on which he reached Lawrence, but he landed at Leavenworth some weeks pre vious. Lawrence was the hotbed of the free state struggle and that is where Legate went to get his bearings. He concluded he wanted to be agent of the Delaware Indians, located in Johnson county, and sent his application to Washington and was promised the job. Then came the free state meeting in Lawrence in which he made the rabid free state speech. The free state cause was the more popular in Lawrence at that time. As soon as the news of the speech reached Washington, Jefferson Davis severed all relations with Legate, and from that time forward he was a free state leader. That he was active In the free state cause is shown by the fact that he was arrested for treason in Lawrence on June 19, 1856. The cause for his arrest Is not given. Wilder's Annals state that he was arrested and taken to Lecomp ton. As no other record is made of the case it was probably brought for po litical effect and afterwards dropped. In 1857 Legate moved to De Soto, Johnson county, and the following De cember was a member of the Free State convention which met at Law rence. He was elected to the territorial legislature In 1859 and was a member much of the time from then until '1888. Four years of the time, 1865-69, he was a member of ine senat, but generally preferred the house. His senatorial term was from LeO-'enworrH county, to which he moved about 1S65, t.id he has made his home in that nunty sine. In 1862 he was appointed United States revenue .assessor for Kansas, and or ganized the revenue service in the state. Five years later he held the mail eon tract between Kansas and New Mexico. In his palmy days "Jim" Legate was probably the most powerful member the Kansas legislature ever had. His name was connected with all sorts of shady transactions, but it is probable that he was given credit for far more deals of this character than he ever had a hand in. He was generally a member of the ways and means committee, however, and appropriations generally had to have his sanction before they went through. His friends profited more fre quently from "deals" than he did. A case in point was once told by an old state house contractor. The contractor was interested In get ting through a big appropriation for work on the state house. Those were the days when the work amounted up to the hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, and it sometimes required "grease" in the shape of currency to help the appropriations through the leg islature. A professional lobbyist who knew how things stood went to the contractor and' offered to get a big appropriation through, but said it would take consid erable money to get it through. "How much asked the contractor. He Appeared in His Last Says. "About $4,000," replied the lobbyist. "I can't afford it," said the contractor, and the conference ended. Shortly afterwards the contractor hunted up Legate, who was on the ways and means committee in the house, and asked his help in getting the appropria tion through. "I'd like to help you, Bill," Legate Is reported to have said. "But I can't af ford to spend my time here for noth ing. I don't get enough to pay my ex penses, and I'm. neglecting my business at home. (Legate was scheduled as a lawyer, but he did not work at any thing but politics). Then I reckon some of the other boys would like to ha.e a little something." "How much will it take?" asked the contractor. "Oh, I suppose three or four hundred dollars will put it through," replied Legate. "All right, Jim. Tou're treating me square," said the contractor. "The other fellows (mentioning the name of the lob byist who had first approached him and his associates) tried to hold me up for four thousand." "The thieves!" swore Legate. "Why, Bill, they are trying to rob you blind. See here, Bill," and Legate turned suddenly, "I'll put through your appropriation for you and it shan't cost you a cent." And he did. Legate was connected with the Pom eroy scandal in the senatorial election of 1S63, and he is supposed to have had a more intimate knowledge of what be came of the remnant of the Pomeroy boodle fund of over $5,000 than any other person, but this has been an open ques tion. Wilder's Annals says the money was divided between the lawyers. On the day that Senator Pomeroy was to be re-elected Senator York of Mont gomery county announced in a dramatic manner, when he got up to vote, that Pomeroy had paid him $7,000 to vote for him. York held the package of money up as he spoke and laid it on the press table. Intense excitement followed, and during the time it Is said that Mr. Le gate appointed himself a committee of one to take charge of the $7,000. After wards criminal proceedings for bribery were commenced against Pomeroy but afterwards dropped. Pomeroy of course did not claim the money, and a commit tee consisting of Legate, Judge Horton, who was one of Pomerov's managers. and others held a meeting to decide what should be done with it. The costs of an investigation had been paid out of it. but there was $5,265 left in the possession of Legate. It is said that while the committee was deliberating Legate excused himself and went down the back stairs. The rest of the com mittee quit deliberating and went to the window to watch Legate. There was a high board fence around the back of the premises, and the watchers saw Legate make several Ineffectual at tempts to pet over it. Then he came back and the deliberation proceeded. but with what result is not dehnitel recorded. Wilder's Annals contains the following under date of March 12, 1865: "The case of the state against S. C. Pomeroy would have been called in Osage county April 5. Attorney General Randolph gave an opinion, March o, that the state had no title or interest in the $7,000 package. A. H.. Vance, at torney for Shawnee county, wrote, March 10: 'I have concluded to dismiss the case of the state of Kansas vs. S. C. Pomeroy, now pending in the district court of Osage county. isx-Ldeu tenant Governor Stover determined that the costs of the suit thus far should be de frayed from the package. On the 13th there Is a meeting in Topeka of John Martin and A. H. Horton, representing Pomeroy, A. H. Vance, A. M. York. en- (Continued on Sixth PageJ -VENIGESINKS. Two Steamers Collide at Mid night on Lake. Three Lives Lost and Several Persons Injured. SHE WAS SPLIT IN TWO Survivors Reach Cleveland on City of Chicago. Nobody Seems to Know How It Happened. Cleveland, O., Aug. 5. As a result of a collision on Lake Erie between the steamer City of Venice, ore-laden, and the steamer Seguin, a steel lumber ves sel, off Rondeau, Canada, at midnight, the former vessel was sunk and three j lives lost, while several other persons were more or less seriously injured. The drowned: PETER SIMONDSON.flreman. Brook lyn, N. Y. THOMAS FLANIGAN.deckhand.Buf falo. GEORGE WEIR, watchman, resi dence unknown. Injured: John Sullivan, Chicago, contusion of back, will probably die. J. A. McDougal, Cheboygan, Mich., chief engineer City of Venice, arm In jured and body badly bruised. Lonis Hubecker, Cheboygan, Mich., arms and back badly bruised. The cause of the collision is not known. The night was fairly clear and the lights of the City of Venice were burning brightly. To this the crew and passengers all testify, saying they could see the lights on the Venice as she was sinking. The second mate of the Seg uin, W. A. Lavigne, who was on watch, refuses absolutely to give any informa tion in regard to the cause of the ac cident. "The less said about it the bet ter," was all he would say. The accident happened shortly after midnight. The City of Venice, laden with 3,600 tons of ore, was bound to Buffalo, while the Seguin was going north of Parry Sound from Ogdensbuyj. On board the Seguin all were asleep save the second mate, W. A. Lavigne, and the watchman who was with him in the pilot house. The first mate of the Venice, Sullivan, was on watch aboard the boat that went down. How the collision happen ed cannot be ascertained as Sullivan is lying in the hospital and Lavigne will not talk. The first that was known that anything had happened was when a terrible crash brought both boats al most to a standstill. The Seguin had struck the Venice fairly amidships and plowed its way half through the boat. The crew and passengers aboard both boats heard a tearing of timbers min gled with calls for help from those al ready on deck. All those who were sleeping rushed out on deck and there was a frightful panic for a time. The Venice, which had been split in two, was sinking rap idly. Capt. Broderick of the boat ran on deck in his sleeping robes and im mediately called to the men to man the life boats. The members of the crew who had not been hurt, rushed to his as sistance and in five minutes they had the boat in the water. Several of the men, fearing that the ship would sink before they had an opportunity to es cape, threw themselves overboard. They were picked up by the life boats from the Seguin. The City of Venice went down in very deep water in less than 15 minutes after the collision occurred. After standing by for half an hour the Seguin headed for Cleveland with the survivors, arriving here early today. The City of Venice was a wooden ves sel, 301 feet long and 42Teet beam. She was owned by the McGraw Transporta tion company of Bay City, Mich., and valued at about $175,000. She was com manded by Capt. Broderick. The Seguin is an iron vessel, 207 feet long and 34 feet beam. She is owned by J. B. Miller of Parry Sound and com manded by Capt. J. B. Sims. BLOW THEIR WAY OUT. Fifteen Convicts Escape from the Tennessee Penitentiary. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 5. Armed with dynamite to blow his way out of prison Gus Hyatt, the train robber and des perado, last night led a desperate band of sixteen convicts to liberty from the Tennessee penitentiary. Fifteen of the escaping party got entirely clear of the premises, but one, Ed Carney, a safe blower, sent up from Nashville, was killed. Joe Loss and James Work were traced down by bloodhounds and cap- "?u ""'J i" B tured, but the rest of the prisoners had Re charter board. At present the corn gone so far out of bounds by midnight I Pany has the same right in the state as that no trace of them could be had. The prisoners were evidently furnished the dynamite rrom tne outside ana usea it In blowing out an opening in the main wing of the prison. Hyatt stood off the inside guard with a brace of re volvers which had also been furnished him from the outside while the men preceded him to liberty. The dynamite was laid by Doe, the Manchester train robber, and he made his escape. Six of the prisoners that got away were government convicts and the oth ers were state convicts. Posses with bloodhounds are in pursuit. SHOT IN LEG Nonunion Miner Who sisted in Working. Per- Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 5. Many ru mors were in circulation today of trouble in the camp here and at various parts of the region. The only disturb ance that ofcurred, however, was at Girardville, six miles from Shenandoah, where a station workman named Capa rall, coming from the Girard washery, operated by W. R. McTurlc Co, was shot in the leg. The injured man had been engaged at work which had been forbidden by the union, and had been warned several times to quit. This morning on his way home he was met on the road by a half dozen unknown men who began to beat bun. Caparall ran, and as he did so one of the men fired at him Some of the buckshot hit him in the leg. He walked to a. phy sician's office and after having the shot extracted walked to the Lehigh Valley railroad station and boarded a train for Hazelton. Burgess Jones is investi gating the assault. During the night several shots were heard in Shenandoah -between brigade headquarters and camp. This gave rise I to a rumor that the camp was again owng attacicea, DUt an omciai investiga tion proved the rumor to be untrue. The provost marshal is 'making a search ing inquiry as to who did the shooting. The cavalry took another dash across the country today for exercise, this time going In the direction of Frickville. The region generally remains quiet. Three members of Company I, of the Twelfth regiment who left the camp last night without leave were chased by a crowd of men on the outskirts of town and sought refuge irt the house of Squire McGuiness at Frickville. The soldiers will be courtmartialed. Chief of Police Frye and other offi cials conferred with General Gobin and confessed their inability to cope with the situation in the southern sections of Shenandoah where the Cambridge col liery is located and asked1 that troops be sent there. The officials alleged that the men gather in that part of town and molest every person, not excepting wo men, that happens along. Men could no langer work there in safety, and threats are openly made. General Gobin con sented to station two companies of in fantry in the locality. INJUNCTION MADE PERMANENT. Kittanning, Pa., Aug. 5. Judge W. D. Patton, of Armstrong county, has con- tinued as permanent the preliminary j injunction granted by Judge Wallace of i Lawrence county, on petition of J. G. Beale, Republican candidate for con- gress in this district, against Wm. Little and others, representing the United j Mine Workers of America and the Monongahela and Carnegie brass bands. restraining them from parading on the streets of Leechburg for the purpose of intimidating miners in the employ of M. G. and J. G. Beale. Judge Patton did not hand down an opinion in the matter, simply announcing his decision at the opening of court. RANKS UNBROKEN. Pottsville, Pa., Aug. 5. The attempt to start the Good Spring colliery was abandoned by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company today. All the collieries remain tightly closed and the ranks of the strikers are un broken. Company officials do not re gard prospects favorable for an early resumption. BOOK TRUST VICTORY. Charter Board Recognizes Amer ican Book Co. in Kansas. The American Book company has been admitted to Kansas by the state charter board and has been granted authority to transact business in the state. Senator Fred Dumont Smith, Major A. M. Harvey and Charles Blood Smith, attorneys for the book company, went before the charter board late Monday afternoon, filed the necessary papers, tendered $1,217.50 In charter fees, and asked that authority be granted the company to do business In the state. George W. Crane, of-Cine Ool; who have1 been pushing the litigation against the American Book company, and his attorney, A. B. Quinton, and County Attorney Galen Nichols, in whose name the quo warranto proceedings against the company- were brought, were pres ent to protest against the admission of the American Book company. Only two members of the board were present Secretary of State Clark and Bank Commissioner Albaugh. Attorney General Godard is in California. The board decided that it is not a judicial body and could not hear evi dence as to the misdoings of the Ameri can Book company. The only thing the board could do, it was decided, was to determine whether the company had complied with the requirements of the corporation law and whether it is sol vent The "company filed a general state ment showing among other things, that its capital stock is five million dollars; that it has a bonded indebtedness of $800, 000 and other indebtedness sufficient to bring its total liabilities up to $1,300,000, To offset this it claims to have undivid ed profits amounting to $1,200,000. or within $1,000,000 of its total liabilities, and it has outstanding bills sufficient to bring the amount up to about two mil lion dollars. On this showing the char ter board decided that the company is solvent and there was nothing to do but to admit it. "We could not have done anything else that I can see," said Secretary of State Clark today. "They had complied with all the requirements of law that other incoming corporations have to fulfill and its statement certainly showed that it was solvent, so there was nothing for us to do but to admit it. We could not hear evidence. That sort of a fight will have to be made in the courts. The charter board .is not a judicial body." This action has the effect of dissolv ing the injunction against the American Book company by the supreme court, as the court barred the company out The next move by- the opponents of the company will probably be a suit in the courts to have the charter of the company annulled. JERRY SIMPSON, PROMOTER Former Congressman Comes East to Boom a Fair at Roswell. Kansas City, Aug. 5. Jerry Simpson, formerly congressman from the Seventh Kansas district, is in Kansas City in a new role. He is now a resident of Ros well, N. M., and came here to promote the interests of a fair that will be held in Roswell this fall. "I am the president o the fair associa tion," said Mr. Simpson this morning "It will be the first fair ever held in that part of New Mexico. You know the valley in which Roswell lies is one of the most fertile districts in the world. Apples grow to an enormous size. One man who went to New Mexico from Colorado Springs re fused $60,000 for his apple orchard, a short distance from our town. Alfalfa grows so rapidly there that a new crop is cut every month." Mr. Simpson is also promoting a com pany to build an electric light plant in RoBWell. It is Mr. Simpson's intention to operate the plant with water power. Temperatures of Large Cities.

Will Make Investigation to De cide on Experiments. TALKS ON HIS WORK. Will Report on the Colorado Kansas Suit. How the Money Provided For May Be Spent. Elwood Mead, chief of the irrigation investigations office and experiment sta tions of the United States department of agriculture, of Washington, D. C, 13 in Kansas to confer with Governor Stanley and Attorney General A. A. Godard with reference to the investiga tions which are to be pursued in Kan sas under his direction on the subject of irrigation. Mr. Mead also paid a visit to Congressman Charles Curtis at his home in North Topeka last night, at which time the subject of irrigation and the rights of riparian proprietors was the Trinoinfll tonifi of discussion. Owing to the absence of Mr. Godard from the city Mr. Mead has cbaneed his plans, and will now go to Colo rado. He will return after Mr. Godard returns and will then spend a consider able length of time in -the state studying up on the conditions as presented in this state, through the aid of the at torney general's department and the Kansas Agricultural college. Mr. Mead went to Manhattan today, where he will visit the agricultural col lege and make preliminary arrange ments to secure the co-operation of that institution in experiments in irrigation in Kansas. "It will be difficult to determine just how soon these experiments will be got under way," said Mr. Mead to a re porter for the State Journal today, "but it will probably be safe to say that the preliminary work for the ex periments will be begun in a number of localities in western Kansas this fall, and that the real work and tests will come next year." Mr. Mead was asked whether the In vestigations he is making would have any effect upon the litigation now pending in the United States supreme court between Kansas and Colorado with reference to the water rights of the Arkansas river. "I am making a special study of the various phases of that case, and the will be dwelt upon in my report that will be published, but I can hardly say that it will have any bearing upon the case in the court, said Mr. Mead. "However, during the time I am in Kansas and Colorado I will take up the investigation of the points- in conten tion between the two states." Congress recently increased the ap propriation from $50,000 to $65,000 to carry on the investigations and experi ments in this department of the agri cultural bureau. A portion of the ap propriation will be spent in carrying on the research in Kansas. The bill passed by congress making the appropriation for this department reads: "Irrigation Investigations To enable the secretary of agriculture to Invest! gate and report upon the laws as af fecting irrigation and the rights of riparian proprietors and institutions re lating to irrigation and upon the use of irrigation waters, at home or abroad. with especial suggestions of better methods for the utilization of irrigation waters in agriculture than those in common use, and upon plans for the removal of seepage and surplus waters by drainage, and upon the use of dif ferent kinds of power for irrigation and other agricultural purposes, and for the preparation, printing and illustra tion of reports and bulletins on Irriga tion, including employment of labor in the city of Washington or elsewhere; and the agricultural experiment sta tions are hereby authorized and directed to co-operate with the secretary of ag riculture in carrying out said investiga tions in such manner and to such ex tent as may be warranted by a due re gard to the varying conditions and needs of the respective states and terri tories as may be mutually agreed upon, $ei,ooo." "The work of the U. S. department of agriculture on irrigation is primarily I agricultural and economic," said Mr. j Mead. "It has to do with the quantity of water used by farmers, the methods of use, and the results obtained. Two comprehensive reports covering these phases of the work have been published and a third is now in press, and will be ready for distribution early in the coming falL These reports contain the results of measurements made in each of the arid states, and in several of the states where irrigation is ordinarily con sidered unnecessary, including Missouri, Wisconsin and New Jersey. The work in these latter etates.while of much less importance than in the states where ir rigation is necessary, has attracted con siderable attention, because of the profits shown to come from the use of water during periods of drouth. In some of the arid states the extension of the irrigated area depends very largely upon a better and more economical use of their water supply, since, nearly the entire supply is used under present con dtiions. The work of the irrigation in vestigations is to point out the way to this better use. "It has been found," he continued, "that the success of irrigated agricul ture depends very largely upon the laws and customs which have to do with the use of water. The department of agriculture has, therefore, taken up these subjects. An exhaustive report npon the legal and economic situation in California has been published, and a like study has been made in Utah, the results of which will soon be ready for distribution. The annual reports before referred to contain much along these lines also. In these reports. Mr. D. W. Ross, state engineer of Idaho, calls at tention to this reform and, owing to his efforts and those of others connected with this investigation, canal companies are substituting contracts under which the water -is measured to the farmer and he pays only for what he uses, in place of the earlier contracts where he was charged a fiat rate for the area ir rigated regardless of the quantity used. In this way the farmer is led to econ omize because he gets the benefit of his savings. "Congress, at its last session, increased the appropriation for this work from $50,000 to $65,000, and provided for the extension of the work along three lines: investigations of the rights of riparian proprietors: the removal of seepage and surplus waters by drae: and the use of different kinds power for irri gation and other agricultural purposes (Continued Sixtn Fui BELIEF FROM ROT WAVE. Temperature Took Slide in the Night A low barometer in southern Nebras ka and northern Kansas was responsi ble for the hot wave Monday, according to Observer Jennings' statements. The low has moved eastward and the cool er air coming In from the north to take its place brought the cooler weather to day. There was a trace of rain last night and Cider Smith expects more. The minimum temperature this morn ing was 70 and at 11 o'clock the govern ment thermometer recorded 78 against 93 Monday, 15 degrees lower. The report of the Sunday temperatures throughout the state has just reached the Topeka office via Kansas City and are reported as follows: Concordia 102, Dodge City 102, Dresden 108, Fort Scott 100, Hays City 105, Macksville 101, Manhattan 104, McPherson 107, Sedan 100, Toronto 102, Wichita 102. The forecast sent ant this morning was: "Generally fair tonight and Wednesday. Slightly cooler to night" The wind this morning was northeast blowing 14 miles an hour.

The Steamer Sardeyna Found Her Drifting Helplessly. New York, Aug. 5. The Italian steamer Sardeyna from Genoa and Naples arrived in port this morning witn. a small two-masted schooner in tow. Capt Montana of the Sardeyna said he fell in with the -schooner drifting about helplessly with her decks crowded with people. Running down near the disabled craft she was found to be the American schooner Notice, of Provi dence, R. L, from Brava, C. V. L, with 64 persons on board. The mate of the Notice said that Capt Antonio Ramos had been lost overboard, and was thought to have committed suicide. The vessel was disabled and short of pro visions. He asked for assistance. The steamer sent her a boat load of pro visions and took the schooner in tow and brought her to this port The schooner's mate, John F. Pina, said that the Notice sailed from Brava, C V. I., on June 27, with 65 persons on board. He was unable to exactly say who were passengers or crew. He had counted them this morning "and found 64 persons, of whom he thought 17 were crew. Of the 64, 11 were women. The schooner had no cargo, and her hold had been fitted up to accommodate the pecole. On July 21 in latitude 34, longitude 64, a squall struck the little schooner and disabled her. She drifted with the Gulf stream. A spar was rigged for a jury rudder, but the little craft had no spare canvas for head sails, and did not steer well. The provisions were running low and the water scanty. About 10 o'clock one night Mate Pina- heard three blasts of the captain's whistle. He rushed on deck to see what was the trouble, but the captain was nowhere to be seen. The vessel was searched, but no one bad seen him. It was thought that while brooding over his misfortunes he jumped overboard and was lost Pina, the mate, is a navigator, but his craft was so disabled that all he could do was to let her drift along. On the 3d inst the Sardeyna came along and took her in tow. Pina said he had six days' pro visions and a little water left. The passengers on the Notice are all natives of the Cape Verde islands. They come here to join friends and find em ployment as laborers and fishermen. The schooner is owned by Anton Costa of Providence. R. Her tonnage is 63 tons. PASSES CUBAN SENATE.

Returns From a Political Tour of the State. TALKS OF C ALDERHEAD Says That He Would Make an Excellent Senator. Refuses to Discuss Effect of Latest Complication. Governor Stanley says that there are none of his friends among those who are talking about bolting any legislative nominees because they are for some other candidate for United States sen ator. He says his friends are all Re publicans and will work as hard for Curtis candidates and Long- candidates if they happen to be the party's nom inees as they will for Stanley candi dates. Governor Stanley is just home from a tour out over the state but when a re porter asked him for details he dodged the question and said he had "just been over the state a little." "We will elect the Remiblican state ticket by a good majority all right," said the governor tipping back in his chair with the air of one who is giv ing out something entirely new. "And we will have a handsome majority in both branches of the legislature," he added. "How about this talk that some of the Republican legislative candidates will be, knifed by the friends of those who were beaten for the same places on account of the senatorial fight?" the governor was asked. "I don't know anything about It ex cept what I have seen in the newspa pers," he replied. "I hope there is no foundation for the report. I don't know -what the. friends of the other candi dates are doing, but I do know that none of my friends are indulging in any such talk. My friends and supporters are Republicans, and when a convention, declares its judgment that certain per sons are the proper nominees of the party, those nominees will have their support I will do as much to secure the election of friends of Mr. Curtis and Mr. Long as I will my own. I see that Mr. Curtis is reported as saying that he very much desires that his friends shall earnestly support the Republican nom inees, whoever they may be. I do not see how any candidate can take any different position. The one thing to be desired in Kansas is a good, rousing Republican majority, and not the suc cess of any particular faction in the party." "What about Calderhead's breaking Into the senatorial race, governor?" was asked. "Well, you' know the old saying. The more the merrier.' I presume this will work as well In the senatorial race as in any other. Mr. Calderhead is a very excellent gentleman and would make an excellent senator, and if he should he selected for the position the state would never have cause to regret the selec tion." There was nothing about the gover nor's tone to Indicate that he was think ing especially of Senator Burton as he spoke. "The Republican party in Kansas de sires a good, strong aggressive Republi can as Mr. Harris' successor," contin ued the governor. "I am satisfied that Mr. Calderhead Is that kind of a man." "Well, what do you think of Calder head's chances?" Governor Stanley smiled a peculiar sort of smile. "You see I am a candidate myself,' he said. "If it wasn't for that Calder head might have something of a show. Calls on American Kin. Berlin, Aug.f 5. Peter Spreckles, a kinsman of the San Francisco Spreckles family.

A Great Mistake Was Made With Abe frank f In Preparing Him Exclusively for the Derbies. THE SENSATION OF 1901 Has Made a Miserable Failure This fear So Far. Bennett Decides to Retire the Colt for This Season. Chicago, Aug. 5. Abe Frank, the sensation of 1901, and distinctively the disappointment of 1902, In western rac ing, will not be seen In public again this tear. Tills announcement was made a day or so ago by Mr. George Bennett, the owner of tbe famous son of Hanover and Cheese-Straw. It was with more that a tinge of regret that the Mem phis turfman made this declaration, accompanying it with tbe admission that be bad made a serious mistake when he had mapped out a plan of campaign for his pride this year. Every turf reader knews what that was. Abe Frank, with some assistance from other 3-year-olds in the Bennett barn, was to take pretty much everything in sight in tbe way of western derbies, and the crowning glory In the career of the handsome son of Hanover was to be victory In the blue ribbon event of the western turf the American derby. To that end the colt was trained for long-distance racing, and his phenom enal natural speed was put in the background, while an effort was made to develop In him power of endurance which in the opinion of his thoroughly capable trainer, was precluded by his confirmation. With the Kentucky and Latonia Der bies and later Washington Park's great fixture for the three-year-old division In view, other engagements of the Ben nett crack were passed up, not so much because they were much less valuable as because of the fact that less glory attached to the winning of them. Mr. Bennett evidently realizes that he made a mistake. "I acted the fool with Abe, and now that the big money is all gone I will not race him again tbis year," is the way in which the Memphian ex pressed himself. "The colt is all right and in good condition, but It is my pres ent intention not to race him any more this season. I am not without some cripples in my barn, though. Ed Aus tin is on the retired list temporarily, at least because of lameness, and Blennen worth is, I am afraid, out for good as far as the present season is concerned. In his only start here this year he went wrong not in one but In both front legs. I am going to have him blistered, but 1 don't believe I will get to race him any more this season. I am satisfied he Is a better colt than Aladdin, and the loss of his use is a serious one." SARATOGA HANDICAP. Francesco Wins tbe 10,000 Purse by Four Lengths. Saratoga, N. T., Aug. 6. Charles F. Dwyer'a 3-year-old Francesco won the $10,000 Saratoga handicap, the feature race of the Saratoga association's open ing day's sport. Herbert was second and Articulate third. The time for the mile and .three-Bixteenths. 1:59, was very fast considering that the track, although dried out considerably, was inclined to be cuppy. Blues was the favorite with the Dwyer pair, Ethics and Francesco, coupled in the betting, strong second choices. Tbe field num bered eleven. Articulate was 'first away from the post, but Lord Pepper and Blues out ran him to the turn. Blues went to the front, going down the back stretch and opened up a gap of five lengths. Francesco gradually worked his way Into second position, and, closing on Blues after the stretAh was reached and drawing away, won handily b y four lengths. Herbert came second five lengths before Articulate. Advance Ouard was fourth and. Carbuncle fifth, close up. Blues collapsed completely nearing the finish. Ethics. Roxane, Nones and Beina were never factors after the first half mile bad been trav ersed. The Flash stakes at 6Wi furlongs, re sulted in a very easy victory for the favorite, Judith Campbell, who led from the start to finish, and won at the end by three lengths, Chaselwood being sec ond and Sergeant third. The Ballston cup steeplechase result ed in a victory for Borough, who solely through the superior jockey ship of Barry, beat out Self Protection, ridden by his owner, Harry S. Page, a bead. The attendance- was very large, the society element being out in full force. Eastern and western horses divided the honors, each capturing three races. Entries For Brighton Races, New Tork, Aug. 5.

The fourth week of tbe Grand Circuit opened with clear skies and a fast track. Three races were decided, each in straight heats. In the 2:30 trot. Rythmic, the blind trotter, was favorite, 350 against the field 320, and when it came to racing it was all Rythmic. Both Directum Spire and Johnny tried to beat the favorite, but did not have the epeed. In winning Rythmic reduced his record from 2:11 to 2:09. Dan R. won the 8:88 pace just as cleverly. There was nothing in the race that ceuld extend the sorrel pacer. Dan R. seld at 360, against tbe field $40. and was always in front, Geers could net do much with Fred S. Wedgewood and New Richmond shewed the best of those behind Dan R. The tatter's record was cut a second ta 2:Mfc. The 2:12 trot brought out a 15ig field of eleven horses and there was tedious delays. Dan T. had the pole and also the speed, win ning in three straight heats, hard press ed by Border. Dan T. sold in the field, the first pooling being Hawthorne, $50: Leola, $50: Lady Thisbe, $26; the field. $12, A record was made, the nine heats decided, giving the fastest average of any day this season. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, Aug. 6. Miss Golightly Was the only Winning favorite at Delmar. One second and three third choices and an outsider annexed the other events. A hard rain made the going heavy. The famous old campaigner. Wax Taper, ran a remarkable race in the featured attraction, the fourth on the card. Be fore a quarter of a mile had been cov ered Wax Taper seemed hopelessly out of it, but rounding the far turn he be gan to. make up ground rapidly, He passed the rapidly tiring Found as they swung for home and then set sail for Tickful, who was far In advance. With great determination- he slowly closed the gap, got on even terms with the leader, a hundred feet from the finishing line, and in a furious drive beat Tickful out by half a length. Giants After Heidrick. St. Louis, Aug. 5 The New Tork giants are negotiating for Emnriett Heidrick, center fielder of the local American league team. Today Secre tary Heilbroner received a telegram from Secretary Knowles of the New Tork club requesting him to open com munication with Heidrick at once with a view of securing him for the giants. "Big John" Anderson, first baseman of the browns, received a telegram, from the Boston league club management to day, stating thet his terms had been accepted, and asking him to report as speedily as possible. Anderson de clined to discuss the dispatch of to ad mit that he. would go to Boston, but in fandom it is generally accepted as a fact that several players In the American league club here are prepar ing to jump, though it is claimed that they will play out tba season as browns. Holliday an Umpire, Cincinnati, Aug. 6. Bug Holliday, the former star outfielder of the Reds, who for some time has been identified with the over-the-river poolrooms, yesterday received a telegram from Chairman John T. Brush, of the National League executive committee, offering a berth on the umpire staff. Brush wanted Holli day to report at Boston at once. Holli day wired Brush that he was not in a position to accept this season, but that he would gladly sign for next season. Holliday, in the opinion of ballplayers, would make an excellent official. Joe Gang After Jimmy Britt. Ban Francisco, Aug. 6. Al Hereford, manager of Joe Gans, is doing every thing In his power to bring about a match between Gans and Jimmy Britt. Today he deposited a forfeit of $1,000 with Harry Corbett to bind the match. While the sporting public would like to witness a fight between these men, it Is generally thought that Britt will not meet the colored man. He has so far drawn the color line. The forfeit will be left on deposit a week in order to give Britt ample time to cover the mon ey. Lawson May Buy. New Tork. Aug. 5. In turf circles it is generally said that Thomas W. Lawson will buy the Mackay stable and boom forth as a turfman. Lawson. is in about everything now except the running game, and it is believed he Sees the opportunity of getting a full blown stable in training at one fell swoop. Clarence Mackay ca bled to Trainer Charles Hill, Instructing him to sell the entire stable, but at pub lic auction only. The date has heen select ed as Aug. 13 at Baratoga. The only one of the horses not to be disposed of is Gay Roy, which Trainer Hill has reserved for himself. It is understood that Lawson will have a representative on the ground to buy in for him.

Corri gan's imported mare, at odds of 12 to 1, won the Garden City stakes at Har lem in 1:12 3-5, the fastest race of the season at six furlongs over the local tracks.

He ran a good race after be ing outfooted the first half, and was beaten only a head for third money, al though seven lengths separated htm from the winner. Burns Bunton was second choice, while Rose Tree was practically overlooked in the betting, as she drifted from 5 to 1 to 12 to 1 at post time. The stake was worth $3,340 to thp winner.

It is stated that Barney Dreyfus Is al ready clear on the season and is now receiving velvet. But for the encouragement it would give the American league. It Is said that John T. Brush would have long since sold out his interest in the Cincinnati team. Dexter and Manager Selee have about as much use for each other as a tomcat has for a yellow dog. Dexter Is said to be sore because he was not made captain and now indulges in endless talk and gossip. Soden, of the Boston Nationals, doesn't believe Dreyfuss will quit the National. There are several other things that Soden doesn't believe for instance, in paying big salaries. And he has lost through his opinions. Selee says the reason Davy Jones doesn't show any signs Of improve ment is because he is too attentive to his stomach. Davy has lost trains six times this season in endeavoring to at tend to the inner man. That O'Neil battery, of St. Louis, has throw-n the gaff into the Pirates three times this season. This is a feat that no other battery in the country has ao complished. And Donovan was about to release both. Umpire Charley Power has resigned his job. He says he prefers to do that in the press box where the fans can't get after him. Charley has had enough of the game and was glad to quit with a whole skin. When Fielder Jones learned that Eb betts was anxious to take him back to Brooklyn, he said: "It will cost Eb betts $500 to even talk to me, for he owes me that amount. After that I'd talk to him, but I wouldn't play there next year for $10,000, for I have another year of Comiskey's contract to play out. and I'll do it, no matter how much I may lose by so doing.

Joe Kelly Is dickering with Catcher Doran and Pitcher Hooker, of the New England league. If he lands both be won't get such a big fish. The catcher is of little Use and Hooker is said to be as Wild as a hawk. Tim Murhane, of the Boston Globe, is the one baseball writer of the country who seems to be satisfied with the um piring of Tom Brown. Tim says it's just as good and clever as the work the player used to put up In the old days. Manager Be lee of the Chicago Nation als, paid Collins and Btahl a pretty com pliment the other day, when he invited both to sign a Chicago contract for next season. The men expressed their ap preciation, but declined with thanks. If the National league will only drop Into Baltimore again and take another whack at it, the next team will win the American league pennant. As a result of the National's first belt the rejuve nated Orioles have won six out of eight games. Ike BUtler, 6f the BhreVeport, La., team, has Wired Manager Robinson, of tha Baltimore team, for a trial, and Robbie has instructed bint to join the Qrioles at St. Louis. Shields, Wiltse. Hate and Katoll will be the Baltimore pitching staff during the western tour. Butler will be given a trial, and it is just possible that ether miner leaguers may be Invited to take a try at the American league batters by tbe Oriole management. Pitcher Faulkner has declined to quit his lucrative and easy job with the WeonsoclEetQyfne this season, for the glittering offer held out to him by De troit. He has signed a contract for next season, however. He may join the Tigers at the close of the playing season in Woonsocket, Baltimore, on the eve ot Its depart nre for the Western trip, released Oyler and Pitcher Prentiss, secured from the Boston Americans, oyler has been very weak with the bat, although a very clever little fielder. Prentiss hasn't shown anything like winning form since he joined the team. It now develops that Joha T. Brush suspended Wagner, or the Pirates, upon suspicion.

TOFEKA STATE JOURNiu TUESDAY LIVENING. AUGUST 5, 1902. A Word to tire Great Army of Summer Toilers. If You Are Not as Robust, Vig orous, and Happy as Others in the Month of August PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Will Give You Health, Full Energy and Happiness. Many men toiling in offices, stores and workshops during this hot summer weather, and women weighted with, tne work and cares of home, are critically near the breaking down point. The symptoms of coming sickness and dis ease are manifested in sleeplessness, nervousness, tired feelings, languidness, irritability, failing appetite, and poor blood circulation. Paine's Celery Compound Is a pre cious boon to the ailing, sick and run down In this August weather. A bot tle or two used at once will quickly bestow the needed strength to battle against the weakening and enervating effects of the oppressive heat, and will enable men and women to go through the necessary routine of daily toil with heart, soul and energy. Paine's Cel ery Compound is specially distinguished for its ability to build up rundown sys tems in hot weather. Mr. George W. Demarest, of 128 West 67th street, New York, says: "I am a licensed stationary engineer, and although my work is not very la borious, I suffered so intensely with severe pains in my back and kidneys I was compelled to leave my work and remain at borne for six month?. I suf fered greatly with headaches and sore ness in chest and lungs, and my joints beca:n e very stiff. I actually felt I was doomed to fill an old man's grave at the age of thirty-two. As a last re sort, I used two bottles of Paine's Celery Compound when I was able to resume my work, and after using the third bottle, I am in perfect health. The value of Paine's Celery Compound is inestimable, and I urge others afflicted as I was to use it." O. K. LARD Wolff's open kettle rendered Lard ia pure, wholesome, clean.

Contractors at Fort Scott Hare Strikes on Hand. Helpers on Street Paving Dis satisfied With Wages. THE UNION JOINS IN. Sewer Diggers Go Out For Sim ilar Reasons. Contractors Claim They Are Faying All They Can Afford. Fort Scott, Aug. 5. There were two strikes here on public work. The- com mon laborers who have been employed by Contractor White of the sewer, de manded that the scale of wages, that of $1.50 a day for eight hours' work be complied with and being refused they quit work. There were about ten of them, and the contractor soon had an other force of men at work, paying them at the rate of $1.50 a day of ten hours, which is fifteen cents an hour. Under the state law he can only work eight hours a day, but the union says the per diem wages, which they say is $1.50, must be paid. Mr. White was paying his men fifteen cents an hour and was complying with the state law as far as the number of hours per day was concerned, but when only eight hours were worked the day's wages footed up but $1.20 a day and the union men would not stand for it and walked. A committee from the federation waited upon Mr. White Mondaymorning and he said he was complying with the union scale by paying the same rate per hour as is demanded, but as the city pays $1.50 a day, and also others, the committee insisted that the scale was not being paid. The committee tele phoned to State Labor Commissioner Johnson yesterday afternoon and laid the matter before him. The fact is the contractor figured on paying his men 12 cents an hour when he figured on the work last winter, and he- cannot- make -anything on the job if he has to pay much more. At that time the city was paying 12 cents an hour. When Contractor Ramsey started his pavers at work this morning on the Main street improvement he was sur prised to find that he had a strike on his hands. The helpers, or the brick haulers, refused to return to work this morning unless they were paid more wages. Then- demands were $1.75 a day and they gave it out most emphatically that they would not turn a hand until they were recognized. Notwithstanding the fact that there seemed to be an or ganized effort on the -part of all of the helpers that have beh working on the lob since the improvement was begun, Mr. Ramsey did not feel disposed to recognize the demand when he was paying the scale demanded by the union for common labor, that of $1.50 a, day. and these strikers were told that the increase asked for would not be paid. There were about twelve of the help ers who had worked on the job. and all of them lined up on the curbing and refused to accept the work at the union scale. Notwithstanding the number of idle men in the city, the contractor could not get a man to go to work at that price, and he was compelled to stop work until men could be im ported. One of the pavers was sent to Kansas City to get men, and they will be down tomorrow to go to work. The scale adopted by the union is $1.50 a day for ten hours, but this being pub lie work Mr. Ramsey paid the same per day for only eight hours. Mr. Ramsey says he can get plenty of men In Kan sas City. MURDER AND SUICIDE. farmer Kirby and Wife, Near Win field, Dead in Bed. Winfleld, Aug. 5. A murder and a suicide happened at the home of John W. Kirby, three miles north of Burden, in eastern Cowley county. Kirby and his wife were found dead in bed with bullet holes through their heads, while a revolver with two chambers emptied was lying on the breast of Kirby. Monday workmen who were re shingling Kirby's house noticed that all was quiet within, and desirous of ascer taining the whereabout of the Kirbys entered the house through a window and found both of them as described above. Tiie conclusion reached was that Kirby had shot his wife while she slept and then sent a bullet through his own brain. The coroner's office at Winfleld was notified and the coroner went out. Kirby was a farmer, and no known reason is given for his crime. He was about 35 years of age. while his wife was much younger. Kirby and wife lived by themselves on what is known as the Doc Carver place. A few days ago the place had been sold and Kirby was expecting to move. Already the family who was to move in had moved two loads of goods to the house. Mr. Kirby was between 30 and 35 years of age, and had no children. Rev. J. 0. Roberts Dead. Lawrence. Kan., Aug. 5.

Sir Charles Dilke Demands Light on Remount Scandals. London, Aug. 5. The remounts scand als were discussed in the house of com mons in the course of a discussion of an army estimates and the item of transportation and remounts. Sir Charles Dilke, advanced radical, suggested the publication of the evi dence bearing on the remounts scand als obtained from the United States and Argentina. Col. John P. Nolan. Na tionalist, -condemned the loose system or contracts unoer which such dread ful scandals were possible and several otner members of the house deprecated the method of purchasing horses inrougn middle-men. Mr. Brodrick, the war secretary, re plying, said the members overlooked the aimcuities in the way of providing 150. 000 horses in an emergency. He said the government intended to probe the charges, but he believed some remount officers had been harshly judged. He did not believe that Lord Kitchener would join in the universal cry against the remount department. In answer to tne war secretary. John Dillon. Na tionalist, asserted that Mr. Brodrick's vague speech only strengthened his sus picions, and he pointed out. as an in stance of this, that the government had not denied that Major Studdert had profited largely through buying horses in ireiana under a false name. Mr. Brodrick denied that he had no disposition to push the Studdert and other investigations, and said the gov ernment would go to the fullest ex tremes to convict the perpetrators of conspiracy and fraud. The vote on the item on transportation and remount was agreed to. Sisters Driven Out. Chambere, France, Aug. 5.

Boilermakers Strike on the Coast Line is Ended. Both Sides Made Concessions, the Men Uetting More Pay. ALL RETURN TO WORK. None of the Strikers Will Be Tamed Oat. Story of the Stubborn Fight Since May 29. At noon Monday, the strike of the Santa Fe boilermakers which has been in progress at Needles and San Ber mardino, Cal., since May 29 was declar ed off, both the company and the men having made concessions and the terms having been arranged satisfactorily to both parties. For some days and in deed almost for weeks the settlement has been hanging fire. At each confer ence which the striking boiler men held with General Manager Wells of the coast lines the stipulations were all but agreed to, but until the last there was some little turn which defeated the pur pose of the meeting. A special dispatch to the State jour nal from San Bernardino received late Monday night says: "Boilermakers strike declared off 12 o'clock today at San Bernardino and Needles. All the men return to work without prejudice. Company and men made concessions; settlement satisfactory to both. Wages, Needles, 39 cents hour." It was known in Topeka Monday that the Needles boilermakers were ready to go back to work; that the terms which tney sougnt nad Deen granted, tsut tne San Bernardino men could not be rec onciled to the agreement which the company wished to make and which the Needles men favored. It is understood that in addi tion to the 39 cents an hour the men get time and a half for all overtime worked. This much was conceded by tne Santa Fe; but at San Bernardino other demands were made, one that Boiler maker Foreman James Madden be dis charged and that there be an apportion ment of apprentices In the ratio of five boilermakers to every apprentice. Thin, however, with the understanding that all the apprentice boys already employ ed be taken back as such but after that time the rule regarding the new ap portionment be enforced. It was understood that General Man ager Wells might have made some ar rangement satisfactory to the men as regards Mr. Madden, but he couldn't see how to grant the other demands. So that the matter rested virtually between Wells and the San Bernardino boiler makers. The eontest between the Santa Fe company and the boilermakers on its western lines, between 45 and 50 in num ber at Needles and San Bernardino to gether, and about six at Point Rich mond who walked out in sympathy for their brother craftsmen only a few weeks ago. has been particularly stub born. The trouble began brewing in the early spring when the men went to the company with their demands for an In crease of pay from 38 to 40 cents an hour. They claim that they gave the company 33 days' notice before quitting the shops and after they had used every possible means to adjust the difficulties, which seemed to approach. They pre sented the claim that boilermakers on the Southern Pacific at Tucson, Arizona, on the Rock Island at Alamagordo, N. M., and on the Southern Pacific at El Paso, Tex., received a wage of $4 for a ten hour day and time and a quarter for overtime, while they got but 38 cents an hour for straight time and time and one-half for all overtime. The officials of the Santa Fe answered that in the end the men on the Santa Fe were get ting as much as boilermakers on the other roads. But the men stuck to their claim, that they should have more money what they deemed was equal to the pay of other roads in territory where conditions were the same. After numerous conferences with Superintend ent of Motive Power Henderson and General Manager Wells representing the company soon after the. inauguration of the strike, the men arid officials were unable to get together and the contest settled down to one in which it was a question of which should wear the other out first. The tradesmen being men of no large financial means and living in a country where expenses were skyhigh were soon reduced to the necessity of receiving aid from the boilermakers" and shipbuilders" union. It is understood that single men were given $7 a week by the order while the struggle was on. Throughout all they maintained a de meanor that won compliments from the officials for their orderliness.

Therefore, accept no substitute foi "Golden Medical Discovery." Or. Pioroo'a There was never any clash between the union men idle and those non-union who. were shipped in by the railroad to take the- places of the strikers. The conditions which hampered the com pany were that it was difficult to hire boilermakers at any price, owing to the general scarcity of skilled workmen all over the United States and especially in the west. Moreover, the union con trolled such a great number of the boilermakers that the matter of em ploying them was out of the question. Furthermore, the water which railroads in the west are obliged to use possesses the elements which are the most de structive possible to locomotive boilers, and rendered it necessary for-frequent repairs to be made. These unfavorable aspects were mitigated somewhat by the fact that the freight traffic over the western lines was at its lowest ebb and that a number of new locomotives were being purchased from the factories In the east, thus making it possible to press into service additional motive power after that which could not be used was put aside. These were the conditions which existed and which made it expedient for both sides to concede something in order that the dif ferences might be adjusted. The matter of the hiring of appren tices in the boilermaking department, which seemed to be the most serious ob stacle to a settlement at the last, is one which is disturbing the tradesmen in other departments of the road. The claim is made that by admitting so many boys to apprenticeship that the trades are becoming overcrowded until as soon as there is a change for conditions not so propitious for craftsmen of all classes as at present, it will be difficult for all to find places. By restricting the number of apprentices which can possibly be admitted, this can be over come. VERDICT TWICE REVERSED. Railroad Beats a Widow in Long Legal Battle. After having been ordered to pay $23, 000 in damages to the widow of one of its former conductors, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad has just secured an opinion from the ap pellate division of the supreme court of Pennsylvania which reverses the judg ment of the lower court and practically disposes of the case in favor of the rail road company. The case involved many delicate questions of the theory of contributory negligence and the pres ent decision is regarded as definitely de ciding an important phase of railroad damage suits. In 1896 a freight train conductor was killed while sitting in his caboose as the result of a rear-end collision, near Stroudsburg, Pa. Suit was brought by the widow, who secured a judgment gainst the railroad company for $9,000. The company appealed to the appellate division and obtained a reversal of judgment. The case was tried the second time during the past winter and resulted in a judgment against the railroad company for $23,000. The company appealed a second time, and has just secured an opinion which practically ends the case in its favor. The evidence showed that the rules of the railroad company required the con ductor to send a brakeman back half a mile to flag approaching trains. The brakeman, however, went back only be tween 200 and 300 feet The evidence also showed that the conductor did not leave his caboose to see that the brake man performed his duty and the court held that this negligence of the con ductor was the proximate cause of the accident, and that, therefore, he was guilty of negligence which contributed to the accident, and that his widow la not entitled to recover. BAT CROSS PAR VALUE. Wall Street Journal Discusses the Boom in Santa Fe Stocks.

The last issue of the Wall Street Journal, one of the authorities on the stock market, has the following anent the much talked of Pennsylvania Santa Fe merger: "The bull party at Atchison is very confident that the stock will cross pa within a short time. The comparative scarcity of the stock in the last few days has raised a question whether there has not been some large accumu lation with reference to control. It has been said many times in the last year that Pennsylvania needed Atchison to complete its system. Pennsylvania peo ple have replied that they were not buying Atchison, and felt able to get along without the property. Recently a Pennsylvania buying rumor has been made more prominent by the differences which have arisen between Pennsyl vania and the Gould party. It is now said that if Pennsylvania controlled Atchison it would be in a position to make Its own terms in regard to Wa. bash, as Atchison parallels the Mis souri Pacific over a considerable por tion of the system. "We think the chances are against any dominating Pennsylvania interest in the Atchison property, but if Atchi son common is to be carried above rar there will probably be a variety of reasons adduced to encourage buying." A SUMMER. FROST. Woodmen's Picnic at Denver a Grand Fizzle. Denver, Col., Aug 5. Although today has been very hot the Woodmen of the World excursion to Colorado Springs Sunday morning was a "frost" The Colorado Southern, Rio Grande and Santa Fe each ran into the union de pot long special trains to care for the hundreds that were supposed to flock down to go to the Colorado Springs meeting. The Colorado Southern was to get the first 100 Woodmen, the Rio Grande the second 100, and the San to Fe the third 100 and then the crowds were to be divided into blocks of 50. The Colorado Southern drew its 100 Woodmen, and that left 28 for the Rio Grande special of 12 coaches. There were just 128 Woodmen. The Santa Fe ran its special of ten coaches back to the yards, the Rio Grande took off all but two cars of its special and the Colorado Southern dropped all but four cars of its special. It was sup posed, from what the Woodmen had said, that there would be at least 1,000 people go down to Colorado Springs. It was even stated a day or so ago that there would be 2,000 and the roads made their plans accordingly, which accounts for each of the three roads running into the union depot long spec ial trains. HITCHCOCK A YOUNG XA1T. New Assistant Manager Once Served Under H. U. Mudge. J. W.

Frank Canard, a machinist In Jenks' gang, has taken a furlough of two weeks and will probably leave for a short time for a recreation trip to the health resorts of the Rocky mountains. i George Fleisch, formerly a clerk In the office of the general storekeeper but now similarly employed on the Gulf tines, left for the south Monday after haviqg visited in Topeka for some weeks. Machinist Emmett Whipple, who has been sick and unable to run his machine since Tuesday of last week, has reported. The wife of Bert Nichols, a boiltTrmaker, has gone to St. Louis tor a visit of some weeks with her parents. Wilson Humphries, foreman of the coal chute at Arkansas City, who was brought to the company hospital in this city some days ago for the mending of three frac tured ribs, is able to be on the street and plans to go home in a short time. William Snyder, day oiler in the shops, is doing the ladder stunts again after a lay off since Thursday of last week. He carried about him the possibility of a case of typhoid fever, but since then it is thought has succeeded in losing it. Roy Dixon, mailing clerk In the offkie of Superintendent McLeUan. has a bsdly swollen hand, an exceptionally thick up per lip and a peeled scalp as the result of the sidewalk smiting him in those locali ties of his anatomy two nights ago. Del Shay, an air brake repairer in 3er berick's gang, is out of commission f r a few days with two fractured ribs. Sthay was "coupling up" the connections nthen he slipped, striking his side against the car and Inflicting the injury as described. Stewart S.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mankin of Dundee, Tex., who for a few days have been tho guests of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Shumate of this place, left Monday for Eskridge, where they will stop off for a visit with Mrs. Mankin's mother. Mrs. Shumate and Mrs. .Mankin are sisters. Engineer E. S. Webb went out on the right side of the 0154 Monday evening, the St. Joseph passenger following him. The explanation of this is that Mr. Webb and rr F tji Efl. who has been doine the turn every day, are to work alternately for the' present at least. Fireman Dan Shannon is keuping up the steam. With an Increase In the quantity of wheat, stock and green fruit wiiich the Santa Fe has begun handling recently, there has come the attendant demand for more men to operate trains. It thus resulted- that several new brakemen have been put on within the last few days and their term of service will, if they wish, r.o doubt last until the heavy traffic has passed. General Secretary T. E. Prout of the Railroad T. M. C. A. will have to let his duties rest for some days longer. He was threatened with an attack of typhoid fever and now that the fever has been broken he is In sueh a weak condition that it will require probably two weeks for him to get back to fcimself. In the meantime the plans for the new association are waiting patiently. There wiil be a meeting of the member ship committee of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. at the rooms this evening. Wednesday night will take place the gathering of the board of directors. Supper will be served at tbe meeting place both times, -as usual. G. C. and S. F. locomotive -011 is in the yards here, presumably to be overhauled before being delivered over to another company. Within the first ten days of the operation of the new gravity coal chute it has been necessary a number of times to handle tho fuel old style, owing to tbe, scarcity of hopper-bottom cars in which to load it. There has been a dearth of these at points where the new style chutes were In use several times, while at other points there has been some difficulty because the shovelers had to unload coal from the pat ent dump bottom cars. In Newton the other day the presence of F. N. Rlsteen, mechanical superintendent, was the cause of a rumor developing that he had gone down to sound the strike sentiment at that point. It is scarcely probable that this was Mr. Risteen's mis sion, as he makes it hl business to visit all places within his Jurisdiction about so often whether or not there is any dissat isfaction among the men. In fact he was at his headquarters Monday after a com plete swing around the circle of his au thority. North of the planing mill a new and higher machine for testing car couplers has been built. The one formerly used was 20 feet high, while the present one towers 50 feet above the ground. It will be understood when the Santa Fe buys a, consignment of couplers they are put through a trial test to determine their strength. This Is done by drawing up a heaw weight and allowing it to drop on the drawhead. If the coupler is not crack ed it passes and may be used, otherwise 11 is rejected. t Shatters All Records.

"Trusts and tariffs will be the chief issue, and while no radical action need be an ticipated, still the discussion will ex ert a restraining effect upon Wall street operations." This is equivalent to saying that whatever the public may think about it, the trusts feel secure In their position, entrenched behind the tariff wail. President Roosevelt is not the sort of man who might be expected to take a dare If convinced that tae is right. The year 1901 was one of unprece dented activity in the building brick in dustry, tha total value of the brlek used for this purpose being 51,048,653, as compared with $43,099,612 in 1000, an increase of 18.44 per cent; with $45,461, 025 in 1899. and with $35,191,454 In 1898. The common brick product increased in value from $38,621,514 in 1900, to $45, 603,076 In 1901, a gain of $6,881,562. or 17.82 per cent. Front brick increased In production 21.87 per cent, from $3,864, 670 in 1900, to $4,709,737 in 1901. Vitrified paving brick gained 61.11 per cent, reaching a value of- $5,484,134 in 1901. The Are brick gained less than one-half of 1 per cent, the total being J9,870,4il. Agitation of the curfew question at St. Paul calls forth irom the Dispatch tha following: "A school for parent Is certainly needed quite as much as a eurfew for children. Possibly even the drastic legislation which has been in troduced into some of the western leg islatures as to the governing powers erf the state over applicants for marriage would not be amiss. Certainly we can not expect children to feel Instinctively the curfew ordinance and to conform to its moral tendency when parents are al lowed to conduct themselves as they chooee. The state has more real inter est in Its wards, the children, than in its semi-wards, the parents; but the only way in which to secure the good of the one is to make better the other. Let us nave an inspector of parents as well as of children." The June report of the. treasury bureau of statistics, showing the im ports and exports by articles for the month of June and for the entire year compared with preceding years, has Just been completed and given to the public It shows that the total exports ot man ufactures are $403,890,763, against $412,- 155,086 in 1901, a reduction of $8,264,303. In Iron and steel manufactures alone the exports have fallen from $117,519,320 in 3901 to $98,652,562, 'a reduction of $18, 766.758. Thus the decrease in iron and steel manufactures alone is ten million dollars greater than the total reduction in exports of manufactures, infltcatlns that in other articles there has been a net increase. Taking the general class of manufactures exported, it may be said that a majority show an increase in 1902 compared with 1901, while some of the articles showing a decrease in value of exports show an increase in quality, Indicating that the reduction Is due in some cases to reduced price and not to reduced exports. 'J LJ USB SALT OF THE ZABTE. The production ot salt in the TTnlted States during 1900 and 1901 was the largest for any two individual years yet recorded, says Dr. Joseph Strutbers in "Mineral Resources of the United States, 1901," now in press, United States geological survey. The total production in 1901 was 20, 566,661 barrels of 280 pounds each. The value of which was $6,617,443. The rate of progress in the salt indus try since 1880, when the production was 8,961,060 barrels, to 1901, with its produc tion bt 20.566,661 barrels, Is very great, the increase being about 400 per cent. During the last 18 years,' with the ex ception of 1889 and 1901. the yearly pro duction has regularly increased; and yet, notwithstanding this rapid increase, possibly because of it, the business of the production of salt has not been a lucrative one. This condition of the in dustry was due In a great many cases to over production and keen competi tion for trade. As a result, combina tions have been effected among the ma jority of producers in New Xork, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, Utah, and California, which are among the most Important of the salt-producing states. Previous to 1S93 Michigan was the chief salt producing state, but in that year New York assumed the lead and maintained the foremost position until 1901, when Michigan again resumed the supremacy, with a production of 7.729. 641 barrels, as compared with the pro duction of 7,286,320 barrels in New York. The production of salt in Michigan in 1901 was increased by 519,020 barrels over that of the preceding year, while the output from New York was dimin ished by 610,761 barrels. Of the other two leading states, Kan sas produced 2,087,791 barrels, and Ohio 1,153,535 barrels. These four states con tributed 88.8 per cent of the total quan tity of salt produced in the United States during the year, the percentages of production being, respectively, Michi gan 37.6 per cent. New York 34.4 per cent, Kansas 10.2 per cent, and Ohio 6.6 per cent. Of the total consumption of salt In the United States, the quantity of salt of domestic production used increased from 63.5 per cent in 1880. to 93.45 per cent in 1901, while the consumption of salt Imported into the United States de creased from 36.S per cent of the total In 1880 to 6.55 per cent in 190L The act ual consumption in 1901 was 21,940,235 barrels, or more than 2.8 times that of 1880. In 1880 the Imports of salt amount ed to 3,427.639 barrels; in 1901 the im ports were 1,440,950 barrels. The chief sources of the importation of salt into the United States are: The United Kingdom, the West Indian islands (chiefly British), and Italy. About 40 per cent of our imports are drawn from the United Kingdom. The principal exports of salt are from the port of San Francisco, and they go to the Central American states, Mexico, the Hawaiian Islands, Japan, and Asi atic Russia, About 25 per cent of the exports are shipped across the Great Lakes to the Dominion of Canada. The total exports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901, were 14.183,167 pounds. The statistics for the year 1900 are the latest available for the world's produc tion of salt Previous statistics show that the United States, which, since 1892, has held second place among the coun tries of the world, became the leader in 1897, ranking Great Britain by about 5 per cent This advantage was increas ed In 1898 by a gain in the production of the United States and a decrease in the output of Great Britain, and was fur ther augmented in 1899 by an increase in production by the United States nearly eight times as large as that of Great Britain for that year. In 1900 the United States renorted an increase in production of approximately 160,000 tons, whereas the output of Great Brit ain was 60,000 tops less than in 1899. It thus appears that the United States has not only maintained, but has material ly increased the lead over her principal rival in recent years. The total produc tion of salt In the United States during 1900 was 40 Der cent greater than that of Great Britain in the same year. The total world's production of salt in 1900 was 12,551,043 tons, valued at $41,396,093, of which total the United States pro duced 2,921,708 tons. GLOBE BIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.l Some people have more reserved seats in their affections than others. It occasionally gets too hot to eat, but did you ever hear of well people missing meals? The merchant who doesn't advertise, immediately gets busy abusing the merchant who does. Some people spend more time making excuses than It would take to render an excuse unnecessary. When they have watermelon at a pic nlq, no one feels entirely comfortable during the long ride home. Ever hear about the woman who suffered so when her tooth was pulled that the dentist cried in sympathy? To a certain church worker. Whoa! Don't you know that you are neglecting your daughter entirely too much for her good? Don't introduce a married man to a woman: all he gets out of It is the trouble ot raising his hat every time he meets her. The girls run colored ribbons through the garments which show under their waists, and honest, now, do you like the effect? If you want your neighbors to be giaa you nave returned from a sum' mer vacation, get a parrot for them to care i or aurmg your ansence. The neighbors (Now mind you, we dont say yours) say that many bites on the children are blamed to the chig- ger which are really due to poor house keeping. Considering the noise on the back fences at night, we wonder where "dogs of war" originated. It would mean more to say "cats of war." When people want to accomplish any thing, their first thought is to "call 9 meeting." Our experience has been that meetings accomplish precious little. Tomatoes are cheap, and they taste good baked, fried, stewed or raw. Eat plenty of them, but don't attempt that affected way of pronouncing them (to-mah-tos). We heard an Irishman make this Statement today: "The United States will traHe the Philippines for Ireland, in order that it may raise its own policemen," This is the season of the year when a man looks around his house and wonders why in blazes he didn't see more places where he could have put in windows when building it An Atchison man weighing 175 pounds, who has no bath tub, takes a daily bath in a wash bowl, and never spills a drop on the floor.

Would Build Conduits and Sup ply It For Power. PLAN IS A NEW ONE. Compressed Air Has Long Been in Use, However. Mystery Surrounds Man Who Wants the Franchise A man whose identity is being con cealed has applied to the city council, through his attorney, A. F. Sherman, for a 20-year franchise to build and main tain a system of underground conduits in Topeka for the purpose of supplying compressed air for commercial purpose tot all parts of town. This 1b an enterprise which is, so far as known, the only one ot its kind ever proposed. There may be cities which have compressed air mains which can be tapped to run every sort of ma chinery from electric tans to printing presses, but if there are, their identity is not known to the backers of the proposed Topeka enterprise. At the Santa Fe railway shops here, and at many other large manufacturing establishments, compressed air is piped about the grounds and buildings and used to run machinery. But the plan of delivering "red hot" compressed air a mile or two from the place where it has been squeezed, as is contemplated by the man who wants a franchise in Topeka, is decidedly new and unique. The proposed franchise ordinance was introduced before the city council last night by Councilman Griley and was referred to the streets and walks eom mltee, which will meet next Friday af ternoon to consider it The ordinance is entitled ,-An ordinance granting permis sion for the construction of conduits in the city of Topeka, county of Shawnee, state of Kansas, for the conveyance of compressed air, and other purposes." Section 1 of the ordinance is: "That A. F. Sherman and his associates are hereby authorized to use the streets, lanes, alleys and public grounds of said city for the purpose of constructing thereunder conduits for the conveyance of compressed air, and other purposes, in and through said city." The ordinance is very short, occupy ing less than half a page of typewritten matter. Section 2 provides that all in juries to the streets shall be made good: section 3 limits the life of the franchise to 20 years; section 3 says that work must be commenced within 13 months; and section 5 is the publication clause. Councilman Griley, who introduced the ordinance, says he knows nothing about it, and simply presented the mat ter by request. A. F. Sherman, who "with associates," asks for the license, was seen this morning by a reporter for the State Journal. He said: "I have applied for this franchise for a client of mine who thinks he has a scheme by which compressed air can be carried about the city in conduits, and used as cheap motive power. He is not a Toreka man. but he has been working in the compressed air line for some time, and now he wants to apply his invention, I think the council ought to give him a chance to try to introduce the thing here. "I am not familiar with the details of the plan, but I can say that if the council grants the franchise a company will be organized and steps at once taken to put in the plant My client be lieves be has a good thing, and all he asks is a chance to put it in here for a test This will be the first attempt he has made to install the compressed air plan on a large scale. As far as we know, there is no other city in the United States where such a project has been attempted. "I don't imagine that this will be a very big concern at first because it is just starting out and will have to be conservative, but the man who applies for the franchise has plenty of money, and can carry his ideas out. It will be a great thing for Topeka if it proves to be a success, for it will supply the town with very cheap power." Mr. Sherman was asked whether or not Archie M. Baird of North Topeka, the well known Inventor of numerous compressed air devices, is Interested in the proposed plan for putting in a sys tem of compressed air conduits, and said that Mr. Baird was not the man who is applying for the franchise. "I suppose that if the council Insists upon it I will have to give the names of this roan," said Mr. Sherman, "but for the present I prefer to. keep his Identity concealed." It to improbable that the council will grant a franchise to this proposed com pressed air company without knowing con siderably more about the scheme and about the people who are interested in it. Tope ka has been hoodwinked so frequently on franchise deals that some of the council men are beginning to learn by experience. It is also improbable that any franchise ordinance in the form proposed will be ac ceptable. It will have to be more definite and certain: fix a time for the operation of the plant, provide a forfeit in case the company does not carry out the terms of the franchise and arrange a number of important details concerning construction, rates to be charged, disposal of the plant at the expiration of the franchise and nu merous other matters. But if the scheme is carried out it will be a very interesting industry and will give Topeka something which nobody else has. Why shouldn't Topeka housekeepers sweep their houses with compressed air, as the Santa Fe does its passenger coaches? Why shouldn't Topeka blacksmiths do their hammering with pneumatic hammers?Per haps the new company will arrange to deliver mail In pneumatic tubes, as is done in New Tork. There are all sorts of new and interesting things in sight, provided the council sees fit to grant the proposed franchise. COUNT f TAX LEVY. It la Hade 15.80 Mill's -Ths Sams as Last Tear.

The now almost famous Peck kidnap ing case has broken into the Kansas supreme court Mr. and Mrs. Peck have applied tor a writ or naoeas corpus, and the writ has been granted, returnable October This releases them from the Saline county Jail, where they were held on the charge of kid naping, but they have to give bond tot $1,000 each. Mrs. Peck's first husband was a man named Hines. They had two children, a boy now six years old and a girl two years younger. Mrs. Peck claims that Hines did not support her, and she was compelled to get a divorce from him. but his mother, Mrs. Harriet King, took possession of the children. Mrs. Hines went to Kansas City, Kas., to visit relatives and there met James E. Peck, whom she married. As she was then able to care for her children she wanted them, but Mrs. King re fused to give them up, and the courts of Saline county refused to give Mrs. Peck possession of them. A few weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Peck went to the King farm near Brookville, secured the chil dren, caught a train and took them to Kansas City. The affair created great excitement around Brookville, and the Saline county officers were sent after the children and to arrest Mr. and Mrs. Peck for kidnaping. Mr. Peck tried to secure an injunction against the Saline couhty officers in the Wyandotte county courts, but did not succeed. They were taken back to Saline county a tew days ago and placed in jail. Today their attorneys filed suit in the supreme court to secure their release on a writ of habeas corpus, and the con test for the possession of the children will probably be fought out here. Mr. and Mrs. Peck claim that Mrs. King Is not a proper person to have the custody of children, even If their mother did not have a better claim to them. They allege that they did not have enough clothing to cover them, that they appar ently had not been bathed for months and had been taught evil habits. The habeas corpus action brought by the parents of Myrtle Crone, a baby in possession of some Great Bend people, who refused to give the little one up to Mr. and Mrs. Crone, was dismissed today. It has been settled in some way by stipulation,' but the dis missal does not show in what way. Kansas Mas Appointed. Washington. Aug. 5. The president has appointed John B.

The union stonemasons employed on the construction of the Gleed building at Sixth and Topeka avenue are trying to force the contractors, Ijundgren Carlson, to employ union carpenters on the job, and accept the union scale ot prices. Unless Lundgren Carlson ac ceed to these demands, the stonemasons will declare a strike at 5 o'clock thla afternoon, and will consider it a viola tion of the rules for any union man to work on the job. According to the statements of the stonemasons, the trouble has been brew ing for some days. The contractors claimed that they had taken the Job at such figures that they would have to work their carpenters 10 hours a day In order to make any money. The masons assert that the union has been In existence here for years, and that the contractors should have taken this into consideration. There are five carpenters employed on the building, and six stonemasons. Just at present the stonemasons are waiting for the carpenters to lay joist, to make things ready for more stonelaying. The stonemasons' union met last night, and decided that the building would be de clared "unfair" in case the carpenters did not go in on the union scale. The carpenters went to work at 7 o'clock this morning, but the stonemasons hope that they will knock off work at 5 o'clock tonight, and accept the union terms. KIDNAPER PAROLED. John X. Collins Transferred From Prison to Soldiers' Home. Chicago, 111., Aug. 5. -Interest In a sen sational chlld-6tealing case is revived by the release from Jollet penitentiary ot John I. Collins, on parole, and his admit tance at the soldiers' home at Danville. Collins was implicated with Mrs. Ann Ingersoll In the kidnapping of little Ger. aid Lapiner from his home In Chicago, on Decoration Day 1900. The child was taken to Plainville, Ohio, and kept by the couple in a house about a mile from the town, where he was finally located after a long and sensation, al search. The kidnappers were sent to the peni tentiary for indeterminate terms. Both remained up to a few days ago, when when Collins was paroled. Mrs. Inger soll is still detained at the institution. It came ouf at the trial that Mrs. Inger soll was demented. She had met Collins, who is 70 years in California, while he was an inmate of the soldiers' home. She persuaded him to leave California with her and it was while they were passing through Chicago on their way to Plainville that they met and ksdnapped the Lapiner child. After the child had been restored to its parents Police Sargent Broderick believing that Collins had taken part in the case unwillingly, started a petition for the re lease of the oid soldier. At Orst the par ents remained obdurate to the plan, but remembering the acts of kindness Col lins had shown toward Gerald they sign ed the petition for the release from the penitentiary.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAI TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST B,1C02. TAKE FIRST STEP. Way Opened For Topeka Manual Training School. Option Secured on tbe John Martin Property. MUST BE A CHMGE. High School Is Already Filled to Oferflowing. The Site Will Be Bought For $9,500. The first step toward manual training in the Topeka school was taken by the board of education at the meeting last night when a resolution was passed providing for the purchase of ths nine lot on the corner of Harrison and Eigrhtn streets opposite the present high school building;. The board has been discussing the proposed manual training- high school for two years. The crowded condition of the present high school building must be relieved. Last term there were more scholars in attendance than could be comfortably accommodated. The at tendance for the coming term will be Increased. The board must provide some relief for the high school and the plan which has been suggested and discussed for a manual training high school .irhlch will relieve the present high school building and also provide manual training. Some time ago ETdward Wilder and P. I. Bonebrake bought the nine lots for $9,500, which is considered a bargain. When the present high school building was built these same lots were offered for $20,000. Mr. Wilder and Mr. Bone brake bought them when the board was unable to do so, with the idea of hold ing them until the board would buy thern for a manual training high school. The lots will be sold to the board for the same price for which they wern bought. Mr. J. W. Gleed offered a res olution to the effect that an option on them be bought by the board, which means that the board will buy them and pay for them at the rate of $2,000 a year until paid for. Mr. E. E. Roudebush, a new member of the board who took his seat last night, opposed the plan. He seemed to think that the price was too high, and that a new high school is not needed. Dr. A. S. Embree also opposed the reso lution on the ground that the board should build more graded schools before another high school is built. Mr. Wilder, who ia one of the strongest ad vocates for a manual training high school, explained his motive in buying the lots with Mr. Bonebrake to aid the board, and said: "We should have a manual training school so that we will turn out graduates who are capable of working. We now turn out people who can think and talk but cannot work, Tbe labor unions allow but a certain number of apprentices to work in the shops. It means that the men have shut tbe doors against their own boys. They cannot go into the shops and learn to be good mechanics. They are forced out into the streets. The boy who in turned out of our schools should ba able to earn a good living as a useful citizen. We had better begin to edu cate tha children when they are a little older and finish their education in a manner which will make them useful citizens. I believe in kindergarten work and I believe in children going to school when they are Ave years old instead of seven, but before looking out for the yomrpest children I think we should look to the thorough education and training of the older ones," J. W. Priddy, from the First ward, said: "I believe the people wish to reach out to. both the old and the young pupils and, I vote for this resolution." When the vote was taken tfce entire membership of the board from the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth wards voted for it. Both Dr, Embree and Mr. Roudebush are from the Sixth ward. When It came their time to vote there were 10 votes for the resolution and nona against. Dr. Embree voted a half each way and Roudebush was the only one to cast a vote against it. At the September meeting the board will decide upon a proposition for the issuing of bonds for $100,000 for the building of the manual training high school and soma ward schools. The meeting of the board was one of those hand-to-hand sort of side-talks-with affairs where every one enjoyed himself. P. I, Bonebrake, chairman of the finance committee, nearly created a riot by appearing in his shirt sleeves. Then he went to work in the voice of an auctioneer reading bills. No one listened to him and the bills were allow ed. The members of the board seemed quite jolly. They chatted and talked and whispered regardless of such small matters as bills. The offer of R. J. Ketchum to pay $50fl for the 16 lots owned by the board on Taylor and Grant" streets in North To pe ka was considered. Dr. J. F. Buck and J. W. Priddy, the members from the north side, declared the lots worth more money. "We had better keep them than sell them at that price," suggested Mr. Wilder. "We might set a price on them," sug gested Mr. Priddy. "Set the price at $100 a lot," said Mr. Gleed. 'Oh, that Is too much," said several. "Well, you don't want to sell them," replied Gleed. "Couldn't we move Douglass school over there?" asked Mr. Wilder. "We might get some scholars." "About as many as we have at Doug lass school in Lawman Hill," replied Priddy referring to tbe scholarless school. "Why not move the lots over the river?" suggested Dr. Embree. The staid old school fathers stopped their raillery long enough to accept the proposition of Chris States to repair the boiler of the heating plant at Polk school for $IS0. This Is another one of the heating plant which did not result In satisfaction. The bid of F. P. Edson to put in san itary piumbtng at Clay school for $1,658 was accepted. The report was received that the school board's share of paving tax for the 9 lots of Polk school on street would be $1,069 and the paving tax of the six Clay school lots on Clay street would be 639. Mr. Matthews moved that the paving tax be paid In Install ments. "I second the motion as we are busted now," said Mr. Bonebrake. A communication from S. S. Ott ask ed that during the winter the use of the laboratory at the high school be granted the T. M. O. A. for their classes In chemistry. The request will be con sidered. Superintendent Davidson suggested that the fall term of the schools begin Tuesday, September 2, and that date was adopted by the board for the begin ning of the term. Mr. Edward Wilder, who attended the National Teachers' association meeting at Minneapolis, made some informal com ments. He said he was surprised at the convention to see that the majority of the teachers present were quite young. He remarlced that he thought the te.ioli.irs lii the city schools, as a rule, are too young and that the board should gradually work older heads Into the teaching foree. Mr. Gleed made some remark in sympathy with Mr. Wilder' Ideas. v "I aitree with you," said Mr. Bonebrake, who happens to be a banker. ''For in stance, if we want a lawyer we want old ones." He looked at Mr. Gled, who happens te be a lawyer. There was a silence for a moment. Mr. Gleed was in deep thought. The members of the board were listening for the broadside. "Yet I have known young1" bankers te discount old ones," re plied Mr. Gleed. The board then proceeded to transact business and abandon repartee for a while. Rev. F. E. Mallory was unanimously elect ed president of the board and J. W- Gleed was elected vice president, Joseph Stewart was re-elected clerk. The new members took their seats, Russell Barber succeeded p-r. J. F. Buck from the First ward; Fred Keith succeeded G, H. Matthew from the Fifth ward and E. E. Roudebush succeed ed J. W. Dailey from the Sixth ward. The board decided on the school levy for the coming year of 16 mills. The levy for the general fund will be 12 mills, for the building fund 8 mills and the interest and Sinking fund 1 mill. The levy last year was lo mills 8 the Interest and sinking fund had been reduced a half mill since 1300 and will now be put back at the for mer levy of I mill. HANNA'S AMBITION. He Says It lias Been to Merit the Respect of Labor. Cleveland, Aug. 6. The employes of the Cleveland City Railway company, of which Senator M. A. Hanna is presi dent, met in a downtown ball last night and gave to Senator Hanna a valuable cane. In acknowledging the gift Sena tor Hanna expressed his sincere thanks to his employes for their gift and inci dentally spoke upon the relations that he hopes soon to see existing between capital and labor. In part, he said: "I cannot adequately express my feel ings on this occasion. It has been the one ambition of my life to merit the respect, if not the affection, f the men in my employ. I have been with labor ing men all my life and have been their employer for many years, and this nipht means something to me, for it brings with it the satisfaction of knowing that so large a number of men in my employ have been satisfied with my career as an employer. J'Tour chairman has referred to the civlo federation. I say to you that were it not for my official position and my duties as a public servant, I would de vote more of my time to the policies on which that organization Is found." Concerning the anthracite strike Sen ator Hanna said: "When the great an thracite strike was threatening our fed eration worked nard for weeks to avert it, to bring men and employers together. but failed. After it was on we worked hard to settle it, but failed. However, in that matter it is my personal satis faction to know that the statement that I made at the time that he men would not go back on their word, has been kept and tnat a sympathetic strike has been averted. I told the federation that there would be no sympathetic strike among tne bituminous miners. "I believe in manhood, Labor organ izations are not things which can be sued for breach of contract. They have no corporate existence. But I would rather have the promise of a laboring man. backed only by his sense of honor and his manhood, than any agreement wmct) might De enforced by law. Man. hood and integrity are the same, wheth er they belong to a miner, a street rail way man or a boss. For myself, I have no higher ambition than to work for the purpose of bringing capital and labor nearer together and to live out my life in Cleveland, where I have lived for 62 years. NEW COMMITTEES.

Waters ana Wife Each Given $25 Fine. DIDN'T HAVE A FEAST. Officers Rudely Interrupted the Potgangers. Arthur Sparks is Brought Back From Kansas City. AMILY rows are usually settled in police court by the discharge of the defendants with an admonition, to "don't let It occur again," but Mr, R. Waters and wife, Eliaa Waters, both colored, of S2i Crane street, got a change of program this morning. The pair have been In the habit of fight ing whenever the spirit moved them. and this morning about o'clock, after they had absorbed enough of the "spirit," they started a rough house. Messrs, Henderson and Wilcox, officers of the law, as it is writ ten in Topeka, called at the Waters residence in time to corral the family and put out a blase started by them while playing ping pong with the parlor lamp. They had been absorbing boose in large quantities, and It was evident that the booze would not mix properly with the Waters, so that the officers found it necessary to gather the pair, and escort them to the keep. This morning when the court kindly fined them only $35 per, Mrs. Waters shed bit ter tears, and refused to be comforted by the court's kindly assurance that it was nothing serious. The United Order of Imported Pot' grangers were scheduled to syend the balmy summer eve in picnlckiny on the green sward in the city park, but some cruel, heartless coppers surround ed the bunch, confiscated the refresh ments, and instead of the joyous time scheduled, they are all doing time of a different variety. Biessrs. Tom Smiley, G. Washington White, Jas. Ryan, Jno. Ryan, Jno, King and Julius Heme, all members of theWprknlt Travelingmen's union, met during the day and organized the social order aforementioned. They secured two cases of brew that made some eastern village famous, together with certain cabbages and potatoes. Then they repaired to the hank of the treacherous Kaw, which was perfectly harmless as far as they were concern- ed, as they had no Intentions of bathing. When the patrol wagon arrived about sun-down the entire bunch was hilar iously full, and one member of the clan was preparing to treat the assembly to a rare hobo etew.containing cabbages, potatoes, onions and other ingredients. But alas, the stew will haunt them in their dreams only. The rude policemen grabbed the entire works, beer and all. The cabbages and potatoes are still on exhibition at the keep, but tbe beer has strangely disappeared. Peace tc the empty bottles! O, irony of fate! To think that these Knights of the Rail road Truck should be languishing on the steingarten, with one day on and four to play. Contrary to all expectations. Chas. Lawson, the jointist who was charged with resisting an officer and carrying concealed weapons, was discharged from tne police court last evening, Lawson's trial had been postponed be cause his face, which had been treated, or mistreated, by little Officer Barrett, who is a facial fresco artist, would not permit Mr. Lawson to attend the court at an earlier date. After hearing the evidence the court decided that the charge of resisting an officer was noth ing more than a personal fight between the officer and Lawson, and that tne big jointist had been sufficiently pun ished. Mr. TJrmy seemed aggrieved be cause Lawson was discharged on the resistance clause, and refused to prose cute on the other charges. This leavee a slim opening for Lawson. to prosecute Barrett on the charge of assault, and it is the opinion of the entire force that the court made a mistake. Among the cases which will not be prosecuted in police court is a strenuous set-to between Fox and Devro, two local colored musicians, who are wont to plunk the banjo on the thoroughfares and subsequently pass the Panama. It seems that Mr. Fox filled his person with bad brew last Saturday eve, and afterward passed bis lid, taking up cer tain and sundry coins. His partner. Mr. Devro. called for a fair and im partial division of the spoils, as per cus tom, but Mr. Fox was filled with an idea that he was too foxy for anything like that. He could not even see his partner as they passed by. As a gentle reminder of his presence Mr. Pevro then landed on Mr. Fox with the rim of bis banjo, making therewith an embrasure in Mr. Fox's pelt. Mr. Fox suddenly came to, shook hands with his confed erate, and swore that he was a gentle man, and that he had done the proper thing under the circumstances. It is stated that he also made haste to divide the collection, Arthur Sparks, the young Kansas Oity man who was brought back by Deputy Sheriff Stewart yesterday, charged with the larceny of 1,056 cigars from T. M. James, Jr., of North Topeka, is the son of a former Kansas City detective. A Kansas City paper Bays of the young man: "The clerk In the cigar store reported to his employer that the cigars had been taken from him by force, but Sparks says he and his companion won them playing a slot machine. Anyone who knows young Sparks can readily credit his story. It is currently believed her that: the slot machine that he cannot beat has not yet been invented. So large and constant were his winnings when the gambling Slot machines were in vogue that it is said he was finally barred from purying them. "Young Sparks would never reveal the secret of his success in hypnotising an unresponsive piece of machinery so that it give up to him the coin accumulated from the contributions of the gullible, but his 'ability' in that direction cannot be Questioned." If he ean prove that he won the cigars from James, it will be one on the estab lishment. Under any circumstances the boy in charge of the store acted fool ishly In allowing Sparks to play a dol lar on the side. Owner of the penny machines say they cannot even afford to allow a side bet of a dime on the whirl, as the machine are so made that they pay only a small margin to the house. IT WAS A FAILURE. Colonial Conference Did Not Basalt Aeoordina; to Anticipations. New York, Aug, g. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's admissions on Friday are regarded by the Radical press, says a Tribune dispatch from London m proof irom nis point of view tnat tne colonial -conference has been a failure, Mr. Chamberlain's objects in convening it. they say, were better adjustments of Imperial defense and imperial trade. He hoped and expected to lay the founda tions for a customs union, and to ob tain the consent of the premiers to a scheme under which the greater colon ies would make specific contributions to the cost of defending the empire. The premiers will have nothing to do with a customs union, since It would mean a loss of revenue whlqh the states they represent could Ul afford. They will have nothing to do with any contribute tion to military necessities which are fixed or compulsory. They argue that should any power, Germany or anoth er, land troops in Canada or send a hostile fleet into Canadian waters. It would be faced by an American veto. The one power that could Invade Can ada is the United States, against whom England, the dispatch adds, would be powerless, CAREER IS CHECKED. A Swindler fall Down en Bis Vint Attempt. San Freneiaeo, Aug, B.w"Liutenant" Edgar N. Coffey of New York has been ar. rested in Oakland, charged with passing a bogus check on Mrs. Barbara, a land lady of the Oalindo hotel. His arrival at the hotel a few days ago was preceded by letter from Portland, Ore., purporting to be signed by George W, Mclver, captain of the Seventh Infantry, U. 8. A., stating that Coffey was a seeond lieutenant of that company who had been sent south on official business, requesting- that his name and rank be kept secret and asking the hotel people to cash a check for $160, which had been given him. The letter was writ, ten pn official paper and the lieutenant brought with him many apparently gen 'ulne credentials. The check was cashed by Mrs. Barbara, whose suspicions were aroused, however, when a second check was presented by Coffey. An investigation was made and his arrest followed. Among his effects were found a great number of, army official envelopes, large quantities of army stationery, many army transportation blanks, a number of blank checks and a large army revolver. At first he strongly protested his innocence, but finally admitted that be was not what he claimed to be, but asserted that this was his first offense against tbe law. He Is a man of fine appearance and good ad dress. STEAMER LINES COMBINE. Blorgan and Cromwell Interests Have Been United. New York, Aug.S.

TOPEKA STATE jrOTTRNAI TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 5. 1902. RAIN IS NEEDED. Corn in Northwest Affected by High Temperatures. The following: la the summary of the United States department of agricul ture climate and crop bulletin of the weather' bureau for Kansas for the week ending August 2: GENERAL. CONDITIONS. The week Just closed was the warm est so far this season, yet with a wide range In the maximum temperatures from 107 degrees in Decatur and Thomas to 89 degrees in Jefferson. Good rains fell in" the southern tier of counties in the western division and in Cowiey.with fair to good rains from Lane to Smith and from Smith to Dickinson, thenee eastward to the state line, with lighter showers over much of the rest of the EASTERN DIVISION: Corn continues in good condition, be ing unusually well eared in Atchison, while in Chautauqua it is hard and is .being fed to the hogs. Wheat' thresh ing continues, showing better yields than expected in some counties; in Linn quite a per cent was damaged by the wet weather. Oats threshing shows fair to good yields. Flax threshing is in prog ress with fair to good yields, except in "Wilson. Prairie haying is progressing In many counties and an unusually large crop is being put up. The third crop of alfalfa is a foot high in Jeffer son and is ready to cut in some of the fields in Morris. Potatoes a large crop. Apples are plenty and fine in Chautau qua and are doing well in Morris and Pottawatomie, though sortie varieties are dropping badly in Morris. Peaches are fine and abundant in Chautauqua, MIDDLE DIVISION. The early corn Is well advanced In the southern counties and is in roasting ear in Clay; the late corn is suffering for rain in many counties. Wheat harvest 'is finished, and threshing is progressing showing poor to good yields. Oats are a fine crop in Reno and Kingman. The prairie hay crop is fine; cutting has be gun in McPher?on and Reno. Alfalfa Is line; the second crop is. mostly in the stack in the northern counties and cut ting has begAin on the third crop in the central. Millet is a heavy crop in many counties. Apples are dropping in Bar ber. Potatoes are a fine crop. Plowing is making good progress in Harper, Lincoln, and Saline, but generally the ground Is too dry. Grapes are splendid in Barber and on the market in Cowley. WESTERN DIVISION. Corn is in good condition in Ford, Gove and Wallace; but in many coun ties it has been seriously affected by the high temperatures; rain is badly needed. The wheat crop in Trego was light but the quality good. The third crop of alfalfa is about stacked In Clark and is ready to -cut in the other counties, a fine crop. The forage crops are in good condition in Ford, Clark, Norton, and Wallace, but in many counties have been damaged by the prevailing conditions.' Grass is doing doing well in most of the counties, but in a few it is hurt. Cattle are in good condition. LOWER GRAIN RATES. Farmers and Railroad Presidents Get Together. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 5. Grain rates will be reduced from all points in eastern Washington and the reduction will take place in time to benefit the farmers on this year's crop. The amount of reduct ion is not determined, but conjecture ran from one to two cents per bushel. The Great Northern and Central Wash ington branch of the Northern Pacific will be connected by a cross road to run from the terminus of the Central Wash ington in the Grand Coules te Ad rain on the Great Northern. It will be 18 miles in length and will cost about $350,000 and will be built as soon as the surveys can be completed, contracts let and the work done under pressure. It may be complet ed before January 1. As a result of this arrangement the Northern Pacific will cease hauling grain eastward to Spokane and thence west ward to the coast and will move Its share of the tonnage of the terminus of the Central Washington branch. There will be taken by the Great Northern and carried to Seattle Instead of to Tacoma as heretofore. These announcements are made by Presi dent Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, at Davenport today. The occasion was Tinique in the history of American rail roading. Three railroad presidents, in re sponse to a petition from the leading far mers of the Big Bend county, had assem bled at the county seat of Lincoln county to hear their case, plead their own inter ests and renders argument. They were James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern and Northern Securities com pany, a combination with securities rated on Wall street at more than a billion dollars; President C. S. Mellen; of the Northern Pacific and President A. L. Mohler, of the Oregon ailroad Navi gation lines, of the Harrlman system. With them were- a group of lesser rail road notables. Public addresses were de livered by the three presidents. The ad journment was taken to the armory, where an old fashioned country dinner was served to the railroad guests and visitors from the surrounding country. The presi- dents entered heartily into spirit of the occasion; Mr. Hill deposited his hat under his chair, remarked that he had not en joyed himself so thoroughly in many a day and rubbed elbows with a wheat grower from the Egypt country and an other from the Cedar Canyon camp. After, dinner hundreds of people gather ed around the railway presidents, shaking hands and listening to spirited discus sions. Mr. Hill talked farming and stock rising. Mr. Mellon elaborated on his previous announcement and Mr. Mohler spoke of the Immigration plans of the Harrimann roads. All this was preliminary to the real conference of the day. Various coun ties and districts had sent delegates to the convention and after dinner these delegates reassembled in the convention hall and through their spokesman laid their wishes before the railway presi dents. The spectacle was impressive. The large hall was packed to the doors and scores of farmers, fruit growers and miners stood in the aisles. Many sat on tne carpeted noor. earnestness was stamped upon their features and earnest ness ran through all their speeches. Mr. Hill was the only president speaking at tms conrerence. tie answered many ques- tlons from time to time, offered numerous voluntary explanations of matters that seemed all wrong to the farmers and re peatedly asked the farmers to speak out tneir Deneis ana convictions, He was frepuently applauded and the convention was always alert to applaud any telling point whether made by delegates or by tne president. The entire proceedings were character ized by good spirit and there was much good nature in the badinage. The special train bearing the railroad men ana newspaper correspondents re turned to Spokane this evening. Later the party left for Colfax in the Palouse county, where a similar conference will be held tomorrow. They have decided not to hold a third conference at Walla Walla. City Ticket Office. Union Facifis B. S, 635 g- Ave. WATCHING THE PACKERS. Cattlemen Have an Bye on Movement of Meat Trust. Denver, Col., Aug. 6.John W. Spring er, president of the National Live Stock association of the United States, in answer to a question concerning the formation of a beef combine, answer ed: "Our great organization Is watching every move of the big packers, .fully realizing the ruin which would ensue If the contemplated combine is effect ed. The packers have individually de nied any intention of combining into a merger of packing interests. If- they are attempting to deceive the stockmen and the public they will incur the oppo sition of every live stock producer in the union. Such a combine would be more disastrous than any other which could be formed, for then one man would' arbitrarily fix the price to the consumer of meats. It would be against public policy and result in the greatest commercial warfare ever waged in this continent, and In the end the packers combine would go to the wait If the packers are wise as I give them credit for, they will let well enough alone if they deceive us as to their inten tions, then I give notice now that it will be a fight of every producer of live stock, aided by the consumers of this country against the most uncalled for combine or 'trust' ever organized. Let the packing interests beware they may as well understand the limit has been reached in their grasping strenuosity.'' DR. BEARDSHEAR IS DEAD. Noted Educator a Victim of Nervous Prostration. Des Moines, la., Aug. S. Dr. W. M. Beardshear, president of the Iowa State college at Ames, died early this morning as the result of nervous prostration while attending the meeting of the Na tional Educational association at Min neapolis a month ago.

In the scandal following the re-election of Senator Ingalls in 1879, Legate lined up with Ingalls, although he had voted, against him in the legislature. Ingalls defeated Judge Horton by a narrow margin, although Judge Horton had a majority of the members pledged to him In the caucus at 1 o'clock on the morning of the senatorial election, and it was charged that Ingalls had bought three members away from Horton. An anti-Ingalls committee, on which was W. W. Guthrie, Judge Horton, Cyrus Leland and others, made up a purse to push an investigation of Ingalls in the United States senate. Legate went to the aid of Ingalls and is credited with saving his seat for him. Legate narrowly escaped being gover nor of the territory of Washington at one time. He was a close friend of Alexander Caldwell, who at one time was elected a United States senator in the ill-fated Lane succession, but was forced to resign because of bribery charges. Caldwell secured the appoint ment of Legate as governor of Wash ington, but a fieht was started on his confirmation. Some enemy dug up a letter which Legate had written during the impeachment proceedings against President Johnson, in which he said he could handle Senator Pomeroy's vote, and offered to do so for a consideration. That knocked Legate's chances of con firmation. Legate once made a record-breaking horseback ride from Lawrence to Leav enworth and the time he made stil! stands as the record, it is claimed, al though history does not record the time he made, and it was done nearly forty years ago. It was the day that Quan trell raided Lawrence. Legate escaped from the raiders by swimming the Kaw. He sot a horse at a farm house and started "for Leavenworth, thirty miles away. It was a Paul Revere sort of ride. As fast as he wore out one horse he would stop at a farm house and take a fresh one. When he reached Leavenworth he organized a relief party and rode back to the aid of Lawrence. Legate's power in Republican poll tics waned In the late eighties, and In 1892, after the Populists had come into power, he joined that party. He threat ened to tell a lot of things on some old time Republican leaders, -and a date was set for the speech in which he pro posed to make the exposure. But for some reason the speech was never made. Some of the old-timers, it is claimed, persuaded him from his purpose. His connection with the Populists was not profitable, and he did not remain with that party long, and has never since had "much to do with politics. Several years ago Legate made a rep utation as a lobbyist at Washington. Alexander Caldwell was a delegate to a deep water congress in the interest of securing an appropriation for a deep sea harbor at Galveston. Caldwell wanted to go to Europe and gave Le gate his proxy. Legate took an active part in the proceedings and so pleased the Galveston people that he was sent to Washington to lobby the appropria tion through congress. He was success ful and it is said that Galveston paid him $10,000 for his work. After the Spanish-American war Spain put in a claim of 46 million dollars against the United States for internal improvements in Cuba. Of course there was little hope of getting congress to pay such a bill, but the Spanish govern ment employed Legate to go to Wash-, ington to lobby for it. He had lost his grip, however, and made little headway with it. City Ticket Office. Union Pacific R. R.. S35 Kansas ave. 1 ESCAPE. STRIKERS RUN CABS While Street Railway is Tied "Up at Ironton, Ohio. Ironton, O., Aug. 5. Not a wheel was turning on the Ironton division of the Cam den division of the Interstate rail way line this morning. A telegram from Wm. Jacobs, of the National asso ciation, now at Huntington, ordered all cars kept in the barns. The order was obeyed unanimously and the strikers are operating cab lines to accommodate the public The local officers of the company state that it will not attempt to operate cars in Ironton until the difficulty across the river is settled. All is quiet here. One car with Sheriff Ha ney aboard passed through Ashland. Ky., at 8:15 a. m. before a sufficient number of sympathizers assembled to stop it. but if traffic is resumed there serious trouble is expected. CORN OUTLOOK GOOD. Repo rts Are Favorable From All Over the Country. Washington, Aug. 5. The weather bureau's weekly summary of crop con ditions says: A drouth prevailing In the previous jveek from Virginia and the Carolinas westward to Arkansas has been largely broken, the rains being exceedingly heavy over the western part of the region named. Drouth, however, con tinues in portions of the lower Ohio valley, the Carolinas and northern Georgia. The central and northern por tions of Texas have again received very heavy rains and the lake region and the northern portion of the middle Atlantic states have also suffered to some extent from excessive moisture. The protract ed drouth-in the central and southern Rocky mountain districts continues with increased severity and portions or Kansas, Nebraska and the North Pa cific coast regions are in need of rain. Generally the temperature conditions have been highly favorable. As .a whole corn has made excellent progress in the principal corn producing states and an unusually fine crop is promised. In a small part of the lower Ohio valley and southeastern Missouri, central and western Kansas, Tennessee and Virginia, a part of the crop is, however, suffering from drouth. Some wheat remains to be harvested in extreme northern districts where har vesting has been much delayed by rains and considerable damage has been done to wheat in stack and shock. Harvest ing is in general progress on the North Pacific coast under favorable conditions. Spring wheat harvest has been some what delayed by showers in Minnesota, where harvesting "is in progress as far north as the middle portion of the state. In North Dakota high winds and hail have lodged and damaged spring wheat slightly and rust is appearing on the late sown. The crop is ripening very rapidly in the Dakotas, somewhat too rapidly in South Dakota and harvest has begun in extreme southern North Dakota. In Oregon and Washington spring wheat has made favorable ad vancement. Oats harvest In the northern districts has progressed under more favorable conditions than in the previous week and is nearing completion, except in the more easterly sections. The central and eastern portions of the cotton belt have experienced rnore favorable weather and a very general improvement in the condition of cotton Is indicated, the rainfall of the week having largely relieved the drouth. Th Carolinas, portions of Georgia, Louis iana and Missouri; however, continue to suffer from drouth and shedding and rust is more or Jess extensively report ed in the central and eastern districts. In Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee ar-1 Arkansas the rainfall has been generally ample and excessive in the last named state where cotton has been beaten to sor extent Central and northeast Texas, In common with Arkansas and the northern portions of Louisiana and Mississippi and western Tennessee, re ceived during the fore part of the week from 2 to 10 inches of rain. In Texas cotton is making heavy bush, and as a rule continues to fruit satisfactorily, but there is-considerable complaint of shedding, boll worms and weevil, espe cially in the lower portions of the Brazos and Colorado valleys. The lat, ter part of the week was more favor able and picking, which is in progress as far north as the Red River vallev. with a continuation of the weather of the latter part of the week will be gen eral within 10 days. The reports respecting apples con tinue generally unfavorable except in Kansas, Michigan, New England and portions of the middle Atlantic states. BACK TO LONDON. Return of the King Planned to Take Place Tomorrow. London, Aug. 5. All preparations have been completed for the return of King Edward to: London tomorrow. The Victoria station has been brilliantly decorated. It is; expected that his ma jesty's return to the 'capital will be marked by a great street demonstration en route to Buckingham' Palace. The trip to London -will be made on a royal special train, but there will be no in valid chair or other special arrange ment, as it is felt that his majesty is fully equal to the fatigue of the jour ney. Cowes. Isle of Wight, Aug. 5. King Edward today, for the first time since nis illness, walked up and down a night of stairs without assistance. He also enjoyed a stroll upon the upper prom enade deck of the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, from which a splendid view of the yacht races was obtainable. Ex- Empress Eugenia, who has arrived here on her yacht, the Thistle visited King luawara. Catholic Societies Convene. Chicago, Aug. 5. Delegates from more than 400 Catholic societies attended the opening session of the convention of the Federation of Catholie Societies begun here today. The visitors were welcomed by Lawrence E. McGann, representing Mayor Harrison. Much interest centered about the attitude the delegates must as sume on the question of the Spanish friars in the Philippines. All the regular sessions of the convention will be ex ecutive but an open meeting will be held tonight at which officers say tne question of politics and the church will probably come up. Pontifical high mass was cele brated at the cathedral In the morning. Woman Lost in Mountains. Zinal, Switzerland, Aug. 6. Miss Whallev. an Ene-lish girl staying at a hotel here. Is the survivor of a terrible experience In the mountains. She start ed alone Saturday to walk to St Luc and missed her way. one did not re turn and on Sunday morning a rescue nartv was organized. She was found on Monday in the hills 400 yards above Ayer. She had broken her ankle, but had crawled a long distance in spite of the Injury. She spent two cold nights in the mountains without food or shelr ter, and suffered greatly, but thanks to a strong constitution she is recovering rapidly. MR. MEAD HERE (Continued from First Page.) These subjects have only incidentally been inclnded in the previous work of the office. "Some of the arid states early abro gated the common law of riparian rights, while in others the law is as definitely established. In others it is not yet settled by the legislature or the courts just what is the status of the rights to water. While opinions may diner as to what rights should attach to riparian lands, there can be no dif ference as to the fact that it should be definitely settled just what those rights are, and just what lands are riparian. If all riparian lands have a right to a reasonable use of water for irrigation, and that right can be enforced against those using water on nonriparian lands, the owners of such- lands, whether they will or not, act as a menace to the use of water by others. Nonriparian lands may be much more valuable, but the owners will not reclaim them knowing that at any time their whole investment may be rendered worthless by the use of a previous dormant riparian -right. If it is well known that these riahts exist no individual injustice is done the only harm may be in preventing development. But if it is uncertain whether riparian rights exist, large in vestments made in good faith and with every reason for success, may be robbed of their value. The work of the irriga tion investigations of the office of ex periment stations is to gather such data as may furnish a rational basis for leg islation and court decisions on questions relating to this important matter. "Along most streams the lands first reclaimed by irrigation have been the low lands. This is due to the ease with which water can be brought to such lands. As settlement has advanced the higher lands farther back from the streams have been watered, with the re sult that much of the low land formerly cultivated has been made unfit for use by the drainage and seepage from high er lands. In other sections large areas of land having little slope have been ruined by the rise of the ground water, due to the filling of the subsoil by irri gation. In both cases the condition of the land has often been aggravated by the accumulation of alkali near the sur face. The alkaline condition of the soil is uniformly attributed to' poor drainage and excessive use of water in irrigation. The work of the irrigation investiga tions along this line will be to study the engineering and legal problems con nected with the drainage of irrigated regions. As a beginning of work in this line, plans will be made for a drainage system adapted to the requirements of the region in the vicinity of Fresno.Cal., where the ground water has in some places come so near the surface as to kill valuable vineyards and where it threatens the life of the horticultural plantations covering still larger areas. Work along this line is also being car ried on in Colorado, by C. G. Elliott, former editor of the Drainage Journal, andone of the foremost drainage engi neers of this country. The work will be extended in other regions as time and funds permit. The series of dry years through which California has recently passed, led to the development of the under ground sources of water where it was formerly believed that the only avail able supply was the surface flow of streams. Many of the wells which at first flowed freely have since had to be 'Pumped, and in many places a pumped supply has proved to be cheaper than the old supply from streams, besides be lng far more reliable. Tne experience of California in this respect has led to the establishment of pumping plants in other parts of the arid region, and to hope that a water supply may event ually be provided for vast areas of the great plains, which have been consider ed as beyond the reach of a water sup ply from any source. The recent devel opments of the rice industry in Louis iana and Texas, where the water from the rivers has been raised by pumps and spread over high level prairies, have also added to the interest which Is be ing taken in pumping water for the irri gation of lands which are beyond the reach the water taken from streams by gravity. In most localities the avail ability of a water supply by pumping is almost wholly a question of the ex pense for power to run the pumps. The expense which it is profitable to incur for this purpose is limited to the value of the crops which can be produced by the water made available, and in many places the cost of power and the small ness of the crop which can be grown will prevent the use of pumps. It is believed, however, that considerable areas can be reclaimed by pumping The long distance transmission of elec trical power which has only recently been in use, has made it possible to use the mountain streams to generate power for pumping water for use on lands which are beyond the reach of any stream and still to use the water of the stream to irrigate its own valley. There are still great undeveloped water pow ers in the arid region. Steam power generated by coal, wood and oil, has also a great future, and windmills are capable of a much greater use than is made of them at present. There are some places where pumping can be made to serve the double purpose of ir rigation and drainage, removing the water from the lands which it is ruining and bringing it to lands which are val ueless without it. In such places great er expense can be incurred than where only one end can be served. "More briefly, the office will, as far as its resources permit, enter upon the study of different kinds of power for various agricultural purposes. "There is as yet little published information on this subject and no systematic invest! gation of the many problems involved therein has been made. The collecting and publishing of data regarding the ef ficiency of different kinds of pumps. engines and fuels, and the opportunities for the development and transmission of power for use in various kinds of ag ricultural operations will be a first step in this enterprise. Very little atten tion has yet been paid in this country to investigations along many of the lines of agricultural engineering. It is. therefore, encouraging to have congress show a disposition to broaden the work of the department of agriculture in this important discussion. Feud Leads to a Fight. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 5. A feud be tween the Gates and Bennett families in Pearl River county, led to a fight in which Homer Bennett was killed and his father-in-law, Jonas Crawley, was seriously wounded. The shots were fired by Cullen Gates, who escaped. Struck Down by Strikers. South Manchester, Conn., Aug. 5. The first act of violence in connection with the strikers of the velvet weavers eai ploy ed at the Cheney Bros, mill took, place today. Henry Leister, a non-union man. accompanied by a guard consisting of four members of the firm, while on his way to work was attacked by 150 strikers. He was knocked down by a large stone and is reported to have been severly injured. No one else was Injured. Chetopa Reunion. Chetopa, Kas., Aug. 5. Chetopa will hold its tenth annual reunion of sol diers and sailors September 16 to 20. Quite a number of prominent speakers nave already promised to come. TODAI'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Aug. 5. WHEAT September wheat opened c higher to He lower, at 70fi69e, and for a moment held at 70c on several slightly bullish factors. Cables' were higher in spite of a slump here, there still continued a discouragingly low run of contract grade arrivals and rains were general to the central west and in the Ohio valley. Trade was dull, however, and on the fas- weather in the northwest the spring wheat needs this' kind of weather most, an easy feeling developed. Receipts were also heavy. September sold back to 69c and hung steady for a time. Local receipts were 646 cars, only 8 cars of con tract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re ported 173 cars, making; a total for the three points of 719 cars, against 788 cars last week and 680 cars a year ago. repression, aue to neavy primary re ceipts and fine weather in the spring coun try, took September wheat to 68c The close was weak and c down, at 69 CORN Only 68 cars of corn to arrive to day helped corn in its show of opening firmness. Selling, however, was liberal and the weather was considered very favora ble for the growth of crops. As a result September corn opened 'fic lower to (SVic higher, at 5757e, sold off to 66e. in spue ui oiuy s cars oi corn to arrive tomorrow, heavy offerings were pressed in the pit. Stop-loss orders came out freely and September corn broke heavily to 55c and closed very weak, 11C down, at 65c. OATS oats held firm for a short time with corn.

About ten years ago it was decided that Jericho should bold an old fashion ed Fourth of July celebration, and ev erybody had become enthusiastic over the plan when Aaron Hopewell Intro duced an idea that busted things all to Smash. He figured on erecting a stand and Belling soft drinks to the thirsty patriots, and no sooner had it become known than discussion arose on every hand, and a public meeting was called to settle the matter. Deacon Spooner was elected chairman, and he lucidly explained the case as follows: "This meetin' has been called by a tartia element that believes the repu tation of Jericho la in peril. As is known to all of us, Aaron Hopewell proposes to sell soft drinks on the day of the celebration, and the question to be decided tonight is whether soft drinks will aid and encourage the God dess of Liberty in her empyrean flight or whether they will drag the memo ries of our patriot fathers in the dust and cover them with obloquy. As for myself, I'm sort of standin' neutral on the question of whether soft drinks in toxicate or only squench thirst. On one occasion a bottle of sarsaparilla beer exhilarated me to the pitch of takin' off my coat and offerin' to lick any two men in town, and agin I drunk three bottles of lemon soda and. was as humble as a cat over it" Asa Treadwell then took the floor to say that a Fourth of July celebration without lemonade, pop, ginger ale and root beer would be almost a smirch on the name of liberty. The more patriot ic a man felt the thirstier he grew, and no patriot could do his best on cold water. He didn't know what a bottle of pop might do if sold by a combine or trust at 10 or 15 cents, but as long as the price was kept down to 5 he would guarantee it harmless. He wanted to see enthusiasm, and he wanted the lemonade painted red as Well as the town. He had subscribed 30 cents to ward making the Fourth get up and hump herself, but if soft drinks were to be counted out he felt that he must respectably withdraw his subscription. Them Moses Blackburn rose up. There was about seven feet of him, and it was seen that he was in deadly earnest and against soft drinks. He be gan by saying that he did not propose to be one to bring disgrace Upon one of the most glorious anniversaries in the history of a nation. The American peo ple had won freedom while drinking nothing stronger than buttermilk, and when his grandfather got through fighting at Bunker Hill he turned and asked for nothing better than cold wa ter. Soft drinks were sly. They were insidious. They were artful dodgers. In his younger days while celebrating the Fourth at Dobbs Ferry a bottle of ginger aie had simply made him sleepy. The next year at Tarrytown a bottle of the same stuff had caused him to Btart a riot, in which three men were killed. He had drunk lemonade at a barn raising without disputing that the whale swallowed Jonah, and he had drunk pop at a circus and sail ed In to lick the big elephant. He wouldn't go so far as to say that if soft drinks were sold in Jericho on the Fourth a scene of carnage and desola tion would result, but he felt sure that most of the paint would be rubbed off the fences and the gate hinges .broken. There were calls for Truenian Hen rl ricks, and he arose with reluctance. He didn't want to take sides in the matter. He wanted to see Jericho spread herself all over the earth on the glorious Fourth, and yet he didn't want the sun to set on a scene of slaughter and conflagration. He had been ex perimenting with soft drinks for a week past with a view, of deciding the Qiomentous question, but he had prov ed nothing. At one time a bottle of sarsaparilla had made his hair curl. and he had promptly called Lish Bil lings a liar. On the very next night after drinking a like drink a feeling of complacency. had stolen over him, and Lisa Billings had called him a liar without his resenting it. A bottle of pop had made- him threaten to lock his Wife up in the smokehouse for burning tne bread, and a bottle of lemon soda bad caused him to weep and beg her pardon. Under these circumstances he had decided not to cast a vote. There was a Windmill man from Ohio present, and in looking over the Crowd the deacon espied him and asked for his experience. He got up and said that i& his Opinion soft drinks and the weather had a good deal to do with each other. The soils Of different locali ties might also exert an influence. On one occasion, while driving over a blue clay road on a cloudy day, he had been made fighting drunk by a glass of gin ger ale and had licked a whole town ship. On another, while putting up a windmill on sandy soil with the bright est of skies overhead, he bad 'imbibed a gallon of the same to be bluffed out of his boots by a tin peddler. Some times he was inclined to believe that if General Washington had had more lemonade at Valley Forge he would nave ended the war a year or two sooner, and again he had figured it out that if Lord Cornwallis had had more sarsaparilla at York town he would nev er hare surrendered. It Was not for him to attempt to sway public opinion in Jericho. He was there to put up MOSES BLACKBURN ROSE! UP. windmills for whoever wanted them the best windmills on the face ef the earth and he neither wanted to see carnage nor pitch into lemonade. Jabez Carter was the last speaker. Ha was anti on soft drinks. He be lieved they brought about the dew a fall of Rome and killed off Shake speare. Any soft drink country soon became a dissolute country. He wasnt prepared to say that a man who gulped down a glass of lemonade felt the epir It of murder rising In his soul, but drinking lemonade led to buying and drinking a quart of whisky. He was reluctant to drag in names, but yet he felt it a duty to say that his own brother-in-law was in state prison for no other reason than an abnormal thirst for pop. He had bought and drunk pop until he no longer had any thing to buy with, and then he had tak en to stealing it by the case. It Jeriche had a soft drink celebration, then he not only wanted to be counted out, but he would guarantee her the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah within sixty days, Jabez was sitting down with a feel ing that he had done his duty when Jonas Williams called him aa ass. Somebody called Jonas a fool, and next minute that whole crowd of patriots was punching heads. The row didn't last ever ten minutes, but it tore the insides out of the town hall and busted eut every window, and the Goddess ef Liberty picked up her trail and went sailing over Jim Harrison's cow pas ture to return no more. Deacon Spoon er was about the only man who got out ef that row with all the skin left on his nose, and when It Was over he stood en the poetoffice steps and said; "Feller citizens, ewln' to the auspices of the present occasion I think we'd all better go home and go to bed and let the American eagle take care of his Self." THE C0.D. HAN. He Tells How He Gained Wealth and Got Into Trouble by It. (Copyright. 1902, by C. B. Lewis.) "I am no kicker," said the C. O. D. man as he pocketed the quarter ex tended to him and hitched along to make room on the park bench, "but when a dilapidated gentleman is driv en too far he must turn and maintain his dignity. I was making a highway map of Wisconsin one summer when I ran across a village with a new town hall. There was eome trouble with the painters, and I stepped in and handled a brush for fifteen days at S2 a day. I had tramped en for about thirty miles when a farmer who had had an eld watch stolen from his vest hanging on a tree in a field had me arrested as the thief. I was rushed to the nearest vil lage, asked a few questions by a jus tice of the peace and sent to the county jail for ninety days. In Jail I was searched and the $30 found en me. This was grounds for 'suspicion,' and I was immediately haled before another Justice, who tacked sixty days ea to the original sentence and held my cash to await a claimant. I took a week te think things ever and then got word te a village lawyer, and when we had consulted together the fun began. "Our first move was to begin a suit for damages against the tamer arte had charged me with theft; and we had him badly scared within twenty-four hours. Then we went for the consta ble for arresting me without a warrant. We foUowed this with charge against the justice, who had refused me coun sel, and move No. 4 was against the sheriff for -not supplying bis prisoners With provisions demanded by law. One of the turnkeys of the jail Had slammed me around because I had refused to saw wood, and we gave him a suit for assault and battery. A writ of habeas corpus took me out of Jail, and the ex citement in that county beat all the circuses for twenty years. If the law yer hadn't been taken with typhoid fe ver and died, we might have eventually upset the whole state government, and I would have been sore of a place in a dime museum for life. But his death called a halt After the funeral I was waited upon by a committee, and the result was that I took a. night train out of town and never stopped for 200 miles. I took with me 9250 ia cash and the best wishes of a thriving com munity, and I suppose those suits have been dropped from the docket ere this. As I said, I am no kicker, but it's well to let people know that even a' tramp has rights in law." "And did you use your money to make a new start in life?" was asked as the story seemed to be ended. "In a way I did' smiled the O. O. D. man, "but it only brought me fresh trouble. I struck -a town I rather fan cied, and I bought me some clothes, en. gaged a front room at the inn and set tled down to take a few baths at the mineral springs for my rheumatism. I hadn't put in over three days when the story got around that I. was a multi millionaire taking a quiet lay off, and individuals and committees began to call. The subscriptions I was asked to put down for churches, mill dams, rail roads, schoolhouses, asylums and so on footed up tens of thousands. I could have stood these off, but the band came to serenade me every night, social par ties were given in my honor, and. a widow with a good deal of push to her recognised me as her long looked for affinity at first eight. She was. a firm believer in the theory that matches are made in heaven, and she figured It out to a dot that tbe angels had killed off her husband and brought me around through -the swamps and underbrush that I might take his place. I never was any good at arguing against a widow, and so I solved the matter by taking a skip. It was a mysterious disappearance on n-f part, and I heard afterward that they dragged the river and hunted through the swamps tor my body and that the widow put on rubber boots and was foremost la the search, 7 ."-V; "I had a few dollars of the money left, and I was 'not happy. Raw tur nips don't taste good to a man who Is financially able to buy roast beef and fried chicken, and it didn't seem to be quite the fair thing b other dilapi dated gentlemen. WhSe m this state of mind I struck a village which had six mttdheles on its half mile of male street. There were wagons stuck in three ef these heles aa I jogged inte town, and the ethers were occupied by stray hogs. I asked for the president of the village, who was a grocer, and when I reached his store I asked; 'How long have you lived in this town? -c 'Forty-five years,' he replied. 'How eld are those six mudholes em there? 'Well, I used to paddle around ir 'em forty years ago.' M 'And hasn't the town ever made anj move te fill 'em up? "'It never has! No,4hem six mud holes have grown up with us am' shared our joys and our sorrows, and 1 "A. WIDOW RECOGNIZED US." suppose they will continue on for an other half century.' 'But they must be a big nuisance,' says I. "'They surely are.' "'How much would It cost to fill them up with graveir 'Just exactly $14. I've figured It out a thousand times. 'And won't the town vote the mon eyr Never in this world.' 'Would It object to my doing ltf I don't think so; but what's youi object? 'Just to get rid ot them. Here's the money, and I'm going to hang around and see the work done.' "Well, tt was done," said the C. O. D. man, "but I got into trouble over it. When those boles bad been filled up there waa no longer any place for the stray hogs to wallow in, and that mad all the hog owners mad. There was no longer any excitement over teams get ting stuck, and that hurt the feelings of others. A third party couldn't un derstand why a tramp should take it upon' himself to do -such a piece ef work, and it was finally decided that t waa either a lunatic or a auspicious Character.

J'he doctors probed for evidences of lunacy, and when they had finished they differed in their reports. One of them reported: 'He talks as sane aa any man I ever heard, and it may simply be a case of hereditary aversion to mudholes.' "The report of the other was: 'I don't like his talk. He uses more or less Latin, and when asked what lunatic asylum he escaped from a cun ning expression came to bis eyes. He may not be dangerous, but It would be as well to keep an eye on him.' The committee of townsmen fired questions at me for three straight hours," said the dilapidated, "and it ended by their solemnly shaking their heads and declaring that a tramp who had $14 to pay for filling up six mud holes in a strange town must be plan ning the murder of at least a dozen citizens. I was shoved into the lockup over night, and next morning a con stable led me forth by the arm and saw me a mile or so on my way toward tha next town. As we walked up the street I saw that all the gravel had been thrown out of those mudholes during the night and that the glad hogs had returned to their wallows.

o TOPEKA STATE JOUBK AX, TUESDAY CVENING. AUGUST 5, 1902. 8 UP GO HACK RATES

Legal Charge For Night Will Be 75 Cents. The Day Fare to Continue at 50 Cents. CITY BONDS ARE SOLD. Topeka State Sayings Bank Gets 80,000 Worth. Ordinance For More Pay City Physician Defeated. Topeka'B new hack rate ordinance was. passed by the city council last night without opposition, and -will be come a law as soon as published in the official city paper. Topekans Will do well to familiarize themselves with the following schedule of rates which the ordinance provides: Between the hours of 6 o'clock a, m. and 1 o'clock a. m. of the next day, 50 cents for each passenger. Between the hours of 1 o'clock a. m. and 8 o'clock a. m., 75 cents for each passenger, except that when three or more passengers are carried on one trip, the total fare shall not exceed J2.50. Children under 6 years of age when accompanied by guardian,' free; hand baggage, free; trunks and parcels other than hand baggage, 25 cents for each piece. The hour rate schedule is as fol lows: Between the hours 6 a. m. and 10 p. in., $1.50 for the first hour, $1 for each additional hour. Between the hours of 10 o'clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a. m. of the next day, $3 for the first hour and J2 for each ad ditional hour. The ordinance is so worded, however, that If a hackman wants to make a private dicker with passengers on hour rates, he is allowed to do so, provided be does not exceed the stipulated fee. The ordinance provides a punishment by fine of from $5 to $25 when a hack driver refuses to carry passengers when the passengei offers the legal fee, but It leaves Mr. Hackdriver a loop-hole of escape. The hackdriver may claim that he has another engagement, if he wants to shirk a disagreeable trip. When this point was mentioned to City Attorney Spencer, who drew the ordinance, he said: "The only way for passengers to pro tect themselves is to get into the car riage, and then give his instructions to the driver. If the driver allows the pas senger to get into his hack, it would establish conclusively enough that he had no prior engagement." The new ordinance is of especial ad vantage to the suburbanite. It provides what is called a "flat rate" for all points within the city limits. The dri ver gets just as much for taking a pas senger from the depot to a downtown hotel as he would get to take a pas senger from a depot to Washburn col lege or Potwin. This is satisfactory to the hack drivers, however, because they calculate that they can make up on the short hauls what they lose on the long nauis. BANK BUTS BONDS. Another big purchase of Topeka Im provement 'bonds was made last night by the State Savings bank of this city. The entire issue of bonds ottered, ag gregating $80,000 was purchased by this firm over three competitors, at a prem ium of $1,230, together with accrued in terest to September 15, and an agree ment to transmit free of charge to the New York fiscal agency all the monies for the payment of interest and redemp tion of the bonds. It was this last Item which won the prize for the State Savings bank. In the course of the ten years' life of the bonds, the cost of transmitting the money to New York amounts to quite a large sum, estimated at about $200. All of the bonds are made payable at the New York fiscal agency of To peka. Aside from this concession, the State Savings bank of Topeka was slightly below in its bid the bid of the- Rtatn Savings bank of Toledo, O. The Ohio bank offered $15 more In premiums than did the local concern. The State Savings bank has purchas- ea an or the bonds for internal im provements that is, pavements and sewers which Topeka has issued this year. The bonds bear 5 per cent inter est, and are redeemed one-tenth each year. They are considered gilt- edged, as they are not only backed by the credit of the city, but also constitute a lien on the property which Is assessed ror tneir payment. They are thus dou bly protected. The bonds were sold In two lots, one or Xbu.uuo ana one of $20,000. -On the lot of $60,000 of internal im provement bonds the bids were as fol lows: State Savings bank of Topeka: $917 "An All-Day Food" Wheat and Pure Fruit Combined Is the most perfect prepared food placed --"i'1 i me most delicious.

Of this sum, $lz,&ta.YO was ior tne run ning expenses of the city. This is about hoinw th averatre receipts of the city for a month: The city fathers will have to make a Digger cut man mu or the $24,000 deficit will hang over Topeka for many long years. The appropriation ordinance was as follows: General revenue fund $3,516.33 Fire department fund 2,926.ib Police department fund 1,851.51 General improvement fund 4,274.50 Sidewalk fund 5o.ia Central park fund, 491.50 Sewer fund I,l4b.yt Paving fund 12,454.40 Total $26.717.11i SALARY BOOST TURNED DOWN. The effort to increase the salary of the city physician to $1,000, which was favorably acted upon by the ways and means committee, was defeated in the council by a vote of 8 to 3. The coun cils en voting in favor of the change were Wolf. Swendson and Tincher. The proposed raise was in the form of an amendment to the ordinance which fixes the city physician's salary at $50 per month. The amendment pro vided that when the city -physician had one smallpox case in a month be should be allowed $25 extra, and for two or more cases $50 extra. Under this plan the city physican would get $100 a month most of the year. The ways and means committee ad mitted that the city physican should have mo-re pay, but in view of the de pleted condition of the city treasury, two members of the committee opposed the plan. Councilmen Neil and Blanch, who voted for a favorable report on the ordinance, voted against it when It came up for passage. There are half a dozen applicants for the place of city physician in case the present incumbent. Dr. C. E. Judd, de clines to hold the place at the salary of $60 a month. OFFICIAL CITY PAPER. The following resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote. Councilman Ber gundthal being absent: "Be it resolved by the mayor and council of the city of Topeka that the Topeka Daily Capital be and is hereby designated the official city paper for the year ending August 1, 1903." The resolution was signed by Samuel T. Howe. H. S. Nichols. W. F. Weber, Geo. 'Neil. C. V. Wolf, S. A. Swendson, Geo. W. Tincher, Frank Blanch, Joseph Griley, J. W. Blossom, E. B. Snyder. A Republican caucus was held Just previous, to the council meeting,, all the Republican councilmen being repre sented except Mr. Blanch. Mr. Ber gundthal sent his proxy. There was no agreement in the caucus. The following Voted to give the city printing, to the Capital: Weber, Howe, Tincher and Nichols." BLACKMAN BRICK PROTEST. The protest against the. quality of brick furnished by L. Blackman for paving East Eighth avenue from Jeffer son street to the Shunganunga Creek bridge was referred to the streets and walks committee with power to act. The committee will meet Wednesday morning and repeat the "abrasion test" at the Capital Iron Works rattler. This test was made informally several days ago by City Engineer McCabe, and he found that Blackman brick were much inferior to Lawrence brick and Capital City- company brick. If the test to be made on. Wednesday shows a similar re sult, the Blackman brick may be con demned. Blackman has now on the ground about 20,000. brick which may have to be moved off if the brick are found to be inferior quality. WANTS SCAVENGER'S LICENSE. S. M. Evans, who has done consider able work as scavenger in the city ap plied for a permit to do scavenger work under the city ordinances. Mr. Evans' request was backed up by a petition signed py nity tax payers. Mr. Evans says In his request: "The undersigned has made satisfac tory arrangements with the owner of land- adjoining the Kansas river more than five miles from the boundary limits of the city by which I can deposit and dispose of all night soil and garbage that I may remove from the city with out in any way inconveniencing any person or creating any nuisance." The request was referred to the com mittee on health and sanitation. The scavenger's license costs $50 a year, and Mr. Aans has tendered $35 as payment to the end of the current year. Some weeks ago the council turned down a similar application from S. C. Thompson. Thompson offered to build a crematory to dispose of garbage. The same influences which defeated Thomp son are being used against Evans. Some of the councilmen are making a hard fight to prevent any competition to the existing company which was supposed to "desiccate" all garbage, dead animals and night soil. TAX LEVY FJXED. The tax levy for 'l903 was fixed at 19 mills by the council last night. This simply confirms the action of the ways and means committee, taken several days ago and reported fully In the State Journal. This is an increase nf 2 milla nvay 1902 levy, and the increase is made to meet additional expense and deficiencies in the interest and sinking funds. It does not increase the revenue for the current expenses or the city. City Engineer McCabe submitted an esti mate for 1.421.5,' for placing vitrified pine drain .-in the allev hnuniMi k Ti..i Lane." Eighteenth and Euclid avenue. It was referred to the streets and walks com mittee. -James Warner of 321 K granted the use of the Auditorium for its. lur temperance lecture. The Northwestern Missionary Baptist as sociation was granted the use of the Au ditorium on August 16 and 17 for a state convention. .The Auditorium was granted to the Democratic and People's Party for Au- n opening joi tneir campaign. The committee on wavsi and ommended that the claim of E. H Moeser for $450, be rejected. The claim was for mirrors smashed by Carrie Nation on Feb- Jost'nh Rromffh was mntMl E.,: lege of erecting a traveling crane back of his boiler shOD. The appointment of W. F. Weber as member: of the board of election supervisors- was confirmed. The request of the National Automatic weighing Machine company for reduction of license Imposed by the city was re ferred to the license committee. A dozen bonds for plumbers were ap proved. These bonds "are given to protect the city from damages due to excavations n tne streets.- x nese -oonds are all surety L-uniuau y uunos tor -tz.uw eacn. The claim of Celia Pillow, an old col ored woman, for $800 damages, was reject ed. Mrs. Pillow claims that she was in- lured by falling on a defective, sidewalk The city attorney tried to settle the claim. but failed. The attorneys for Mrs. Pillow will sue the city for damages. The Hall Lithographing company was granted permission to build a "bridge across the alley to connect their Jackson street plant with their new Kansas avenue frontage. Councilman Weber secured the adoption Of a resolution authorizing the street com missioner to repair the bridge on Ward creek at Auburndale which was damaged by the. high water. A resolution was adopted Instructing the city clerk to advertise tor bids for paint ing and repairing the Sixth street viaduct. Bids will be opened on the evening of Au gust 18. The council adjourned to meet Wednes day evening, when the waterworks case will be special order of business. The communication from President Street to Mayor Parker will then be considered; ADOPTTRPHAM ASYLUM Twenty-two Waifs Find Homes in One Family. South Haven, Aug. 5. Mr. and Mrs. John Shandrow of South Haven have adopted the whole orphan asylum, 22 children In all. The 22 children are not all Infants. Some of them are bright, rosy cheeked youngsters Already old enough to go to school. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Shandrow have made more than a competence on their one hundred acre fruit farm, and it has been their lifelong regret that children have never been born to them. To please his wife Shandrow wrote to the Smith foundling hospital in Minneap olis asking the.Ti to send him several children for a summer s outing wltn tne privilege of choosing from them in case he should want to adort a Doy. ine Minneapolis institution is a small one, and the management promptly for warded the visible supply of children over three years of age no less than 22 boys and girls. Mr. and Mrs. Shandrow are devout Methodists, and an amusing sisht was enacted when they discovered that part of the children had never been bap tized. The minister was promptly sum moned and eight of the little ones chris tened at once. They have just decided to adopt all of them, of whom they are excessively fond. BROTHERHOOD OF MAN Exemplified in Vote of American Tin Plate Company. Pittsburg, Pa.,-Aug. 5. The prepara tion made by the American Tin Plate company to its employes, that they ac cept a reduction in wages of 25 per cent has been rejected. The vote, which has been in progress for several weeks, was tabulated today. The proposition was thoroughly un derstood by the workers, it'having been explained that in order to secure foreign trade and a big contract with the Standard Oil company,: amounting to about 1,500,000 boxes, the general wage reduction would not be more than Vz per cent, and that the production would be increased fully 16 per cent, which would increase the earnings of the workers about 12V4 per cent. It is ex plained that while the majority of the men would work at a slight reduction in order to secure more employment, most of them are Welshmen and are friendly to their workmen across the ocean. If the proposition had been ac cepted the tin plate workers in Wales would be deprived of employment. This fact influenced many to vote against accepting the offer. The American Tin Plate company will now be unable to secure this increased business and as stocks are large, it will close a number of Its plants. The largest in the world, the Shenango works at New Castle has been shut down indefinitely and several in Indiana have closed. The two works at Kensington, also are idle. All the nonunion plants of the company are in full operation. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Jessie N. Glenn and husband to Al bert Neese. lot 1, block 1, Rain's ad dition to Richland 400 M.

Knew the Food That Furnished Power A grandmother, by studying the pro per selection of food, cured herself of stomach trouble and severe headaches. Later on she was able to save her little granddaughter because of her knowl edge of food. She says, "When baby was five months old she was weaned because of the severe illness of her mother. She was put on a prepared baby food but soon lost flesh and Color, became hollow eyed and .fretful. We chnged her food several times but with no permanent benefit. At last her stomach rebelled entirely and threw up nearly everything she took. She would be wet with a cold perspiration after feeding and would cry piteously with pain. That is a danger ous condition for a small baby and. in this extremity I remembered how beau tifully Grape-Nuts had agreed with me, and suggested we try the food for baby. We began very carefully with it, giv ing two small teaspoonfuls at a feeding. softened with boiling water and fed in sterilized milk, warmed. The experi ment was a perfect success. She has been on the food five weeks ana can now eat other food, for the change In this brief time is wonderful. She has gained over three pounds in weignt, nas rosy cneeks, bright eyes, and she has the appearance of a satis factorily nourished and thriving iiM The reason that Grape-Nuts will agree with adults and babies is that the starch ot tne cereals has been transformed into grape sugar in the process ot manufac ture, ana wnen introduced into the stomacn it is ready for immediate as similation and does not tax the powers of the organs of digestion. The result is always beneficial and the food has savea tnousands of lives. Recipes for n many easy hot weather aisnes in eacn package of Grape-Nuts.
