The great man hunt is ended. Crippled and bleeding, hopeless of escape, the outlaw crept into a wheat field near Fellows last night, made a last despairing effort to bind up his wounds, then gave up his long race with death, Placing a revolver at his forehead, he pulled the trigger, and a heavy bullet shattered his skull.' At daylight this morning his body was HARRY TRACY, The Washington Convict Who Committed Suicide While Surrounded by Pursuers. found, his stiffened hand still grasping the revolver that ended his career of crime. After baffling the officers of two states, after a wonderful flight of near ly four hundred miles across Oregon and Washington, Harry Tracy was hunted down by five citizens of the little farm ing town of Creston, not one of .whom was even a deputy. To them is to be paid the $8,000 reward. Sheriff Gardner and posse arrived in time to guard the wheat field through the night, but the work was already done. The outlaw was dead. The party to which belongs the credit was made up of the following citizens cf Creston: C. A. Straub, deputy sheriff; Dr. E. C. Lanter, Maurice Smith, attorney, J. 3. Morrison, railway section foreman, and Frank Lillengreen. START ON THE SEARCH. These men, armed to the teeth, set out '-from Creston yesterday afternoon about .2 o'clock.' They were working on the .information 'of the Goldfinch youth who hal forcibly been made the companion of the convict for over 24 hours at the Eddy ranch. Proceeding southeasterly for about 11 miles the pursuing party made all possible haste in getting near the ranch of L. R Eddy, on Lake creek, about three miles south from Fellows, a station on the Washington Central rail way. The country is full of scab rock and the party took all precautions as te ambushes. When within a few hun dred yards of the farm they saw Far mer Eddy mowing in one of his fields. While engaging him fh conversation they saw a man issuing from the barn door. "Is that Tracy?" asked one of the party. "It surely is," replied Eddy. The party separated. Lanter and Smith accompanying Eddy in the di rection of the barn while the other two men swung around to cut off any break for liberty in another direction.- The two man hunters stepped behind the barn on a slight eminence", from which they could, watch everything that went on and the farmer continued up to the door. Tracy came from the barn again and began helping his host in" unhitch ing the horses. He carried no rifle al though be had his revolvers in place. The fugitive saw the men carrying i rifles and turning sharply to Farmer Eddy, said: "Who are those men?" "I don't see any men. said Eddy. Tracy pointed out the two men on the hill waiting to be sure of their man be fore they began shooting. Eddy inform ed his companion who the men were and the outlaw made a leap for the barn door. The officers stepping a bit closer, commanded: "Hold up your hands!" The outlaw jumped behind Eddy and placed first the man and then his horse between himself and the officers. He commanded the farmer to lead his horse toward the barn where remaining un der cover he moved towaiJ shelter. When near the stable he broke and dashed inside. He quickly reappeared, rifle in hand, and started on a dead run down the valley. TOOK TO HIS HEELS. Turning on the two men the desper ado fired two shots, but without his usual luck, neither bullet taking effect. Without waiting for further fighting, Tracy took to his heels down the valley leading south from the barn, heading for the brush. The man hunters were off In pursuit, firing as rapidly as possible. Coming to a rock he dodged behind and resting his gun on the rock, began a fusillade. Eight shots were fired in all by the out law, not one bitting the mark. Seeing he was not succeeding he left the posi tion and made a dash for a wheat field not far distant. Just as he was enter ing the field he stumbled, falling on his face and crawled into the field on his hands and knees. By the time Tracy disappeared in the wheat field it was getting dusk. The pursuers did not dare to proceed as they did not know where the man was. After holding a consultation they de cided to surround the place and wait for daylight to come to their assistance. In the meantime Sheriff Oardner with Merchant Policeman Stauffer and Gero merim of Spokane, Jack O'Farrell of Davenport and other reinforcements ad arrived on the scene and they went into camp around the field during the night. Shortly after Tracy's disappear- ance into the field the watchers, heard a shot which sounded as though it came from the SDOt to which Tracy had crawled. No investigation was made however, until this morning but that shot is supposed to have been the one which sent the notorious desperado into eternity. HIS DEAD BODY FOUND. Early this morning, as soon as it was possible for the hunters to see every thing going on around them, an en trance was made into the wheat neia. In a few minutes the party came upon the dead body of Harry Tracy, lying amid the grain with his face turned toward the sky. His left hand, thrown over his head, held a 45 calibre Colt's revolver, which had evidently inflicted the death wound. The thumi of his hand was on the trigger of the pistol. His right hand, thrown across the lower part of his body, firmly grasped tne Dar rel of the famous 30-30 Winchester. The body was cold when found, point ing to the belief that the shot heard by the guards about 8 o'clock last evening was the fatal one. Upon examination it was found that the wound which resulted In the out law's death was inflicted bv a 45 calibre revolver held close to the forehead. The top of his head was badly shattered. Two bullet wounds on the left leg showed the cause of the man s se- spondency. One shot had broken the leg between the ankle and the knee. The other cut the tibial artery, which of itself was sufficient cause for death. It is believed that both of these wounds were received after the convict left the shelter of the rock and made his break for the wheat field. The murderer had taken a strap and buckled it tightly around his leg in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Despite this tightly fastened strap the bleeding continued until he probably realized his hopeless condition and ended the strug gle. He was dressed in blue overalls, a white shirt, and wore no coat or vest. He had a bicycle cap on his head and a pair of rough shoes on his feet. He had only one rifle with him and two revolvers, one in his band and the otnei inside his trousers; SHERIFF ARRIVES. Sheriff Gardner of Lincoln county and his assistants arrived on the scene in time to help, in the final discovery of the remains and it is stated that he maintained that he- and his deputies were entitled to at least a share of the booty. This was disputed by the Cres ton party. Finally Sheriff Gardner was allowed to take the- body with the un derstanding that he recommend that the reward be .paid to the men from Cres ton. The body, effects and- the horses of the notorious man were taken in charge by Sheri.T Gardner and taken direct to Davenport, where they will be kept pending the final disposition of- Tracy's body. Reports come from Davenport that wild excitement prevails. Stores j are closed and people are crowding around to get a sight of the outlaw. It j is stated that a heavy guard is keot i around the morgue where the body is kept, as well as around the corpse itself to prevent relic hunters from tearing the ciothing to pieces and carrying away souvenirs. There will probably be an inquest held. THE OUTLAW'S CAREER. Harry Tracy escaped from the Ore gon state penitentiary at Salem on June 9 in company with David Merrill after killing four men, Frank W. Ferrell, G. R. T. Jones and B. F. Tiffany, guards, and Frank Ingraham, a convict, who tried to prevent his flight. On June 2S Tracy killed Merrill near Napavine, Wn., shooting him from behind, and leaving his body in the forest, where it was found on July 15. On July 3, near Seattle, in a fight with a posse, Tracy shot and killed Charles Raymond, a deputy sheriff; E. E. Breese, a police man, and mortally wounded Neil Raw- ley, who died on the following day, and wounded Carl Anderson and Louie Sea frit, newspaper men. Tracy committed many feats of dar ing during his flight, in the course of which he eluded various posses when apparently surrounded, and held up nu merous farmers whom he forced to fur nish food and clothing and by threats of murdering their families compelled them to cover up his tracks, fer- haps his greatest show of daring was displayed on July 2 at South Bay, near Olympia, where he held up six men, and forced four, including Capt Clark of a large gasoline launch to; em bark with him on Puget Sound and pilot him up stream for ten hours. In 1897 Tracy murdered Valentine Hoge, a Colorado cattle man, and W.ti. Strong, a boy, in the same state. A total reward of So, 600 was offered for his arrest, Governor McBride of Wash ington offering $2,500 for his capture. dead or alive. The state of Oregon offered $3,000 and a brother of one of the guards killed at the penitentiary offered $100." The rewards for Merrill's capture amounted to $1,500, which has been claimed by Mrs. Waggoner, a berry picker, and her son, who found the body near their home. ENTITLED TO REWARD. Portland. Ore.. Auir. 6. A SDecial to the Telegram from Salem, Ore., says Gov. Geer. when asked if he considered that the men who s urrounded and wounded Outlaw Tracy were entitled to the reward, Baid: li es, I do. 1 he posse surrounding was the cause of his committing suicide to save hanging and are as much to be credited with his death and reward for it as though they had killed him directly." TRACY COMPARED WITH JAKES Captures a Yacht and Commands the Crew. In all the criminal lore of the coun try there is no record equal to that of Harry Tracy for cold-blooded nerve, desperation and thirst for crime. Jesse James, compared with Tracy, was a Sunday school teacher. Tracy capped the climax in a long se ries of startling and nervy misdeeds and crimes by boldly forcing the owners of a launch at South Bay, near Olym pia, to convey him post haste to Seattle. Tracy commanded the little craft by standing watch over her;erewr, his long, hungry-looking Winchester constantly keeping the men in the boat in- range. Tracy's fingers toyed with the trigger. Even when he dozen .his mind was alert, and the slightest unusual movement brought him to his feet, with his keen, steel blue eyes scanning the faces o fhis com pardons for the slight est trace of a desire to injure him. Years of law breaking and association with desperadoes had given Tracy mar velously quick powers of perception and a knack of reading faces that was won derful. So he had no difficulty in mak ing the crew of the "N. S." under stand even without a spoken word that if they valued their lives they would never for a moment think of betraying him into the hands of the law. Tracy left the launch at Meadow Point, near Ballard, and immediately started for Seattle. CAPTURES FISHING CAMP. Just as the sun was breaking through long lines of mist and fog that hung over South Bay, near Olympia, the lit tle fishing camp of the Capital City Oyster company was invaded by Tracy, who took command over the men in the camp and boldly ordered them to fur nish him with a meal, some wearing apparel, and -lastly to take him to Se attle. The convict entered the tent oc cupied by Horatio Ailing, who is man ager of the industry and who was for merly a oeputy under the late secretary of state, W. D. Jenkins, at Olympia. Without losing a moment Tracy spoke to .Ailing, said fie: "I'm Tracy, the convict I want something to eat right away. Be quiet and raise no fuss, and I'll not harm you." Tracy fondled his rlfla and watched Ailing, William Adair and the cook, the Only occupants of the tent, finish the preparations for the morning meal, which was shortly to be served the men who had been fishing in the oyster boats all night long. Just as breakfast was ready, John Messegee and Frank Scott, two of the employes of the company, entered the tent. Tracy immediately ordered them to sit at one end of the room while he drank a cup of steaming hot coffee that was placed before him by the fright ened Ailing, and ate some bacon and fried potatoes. In the midst of the meal Tracy asked about the launch that lay at anchor near the tent. Then he commanded the cook to call Captain Clark, master of the "N. S.," to breakfast. The cook complied and Clark entered, accom panied by his son Edwin. Tracy waited for them to finish -their meal without revealing his identity. Then he ordered Captain Clark to take his hands out of his pockets. "Who are you?" demanded Clark, who had nervously watched the stranger, but without believing, that there was any thing more than a practical joke In his desperate appearanceand his general attitude of belligerency, j Tracy lost no time in saying who he was and that he meant business all the time. He ordered Captain Clark and his son to march ahead of him down to the shore, where the launch lay. He ordered Clark to get up steam at once, paying he wished to go to Seattle. Re peatedly he said that he would kill in cold blood the first man that failed to obey his orders or wi made a false move. -ON BOARD THE LAUNCH. Tracy even helped to get the engines in' working order. When all was ir readiness he sent Scott back to Alling's tent, where he had left Ailing and the cook bound hand and foot, for some clothing and siloes. Scott did as or dered, returaine- with a coat and vest belonging to Ailing and the cook's shoe? and trousers. Then be ordered the crew of the launch to get under way. HOW EE KILLED MERRILL. Quarreled and Engaged With Him to Fight DaeL Tracy had killed his former nartner Merrill and concealed his body which was not found for many days thereaf ter, in the brush near Chehans. "I shot him in the back." said Tracy, "but he was going to shoot ma "We quarreled. The day before the quarrel we found a newspaper which contained an account of our escape and the pursuit. That account gave Merrill equal credit with myself for the deeds which I alone committed. The news papers since we escaped have all along persisted in giving him equal credit for the escape and the' get-away with me The fact of the case Is that he didn't have the nerve of a rabbit. He always wanted 1o sneak through the country, keeping under cover and preferred to fco hungry rather -than show himself for the purpose of getting food. "That isn't my style. No man cau take me alone. And if I had a proper traveling companion, a man of nerv? I couldn't be taken by a regiment of deputies. If I am shot it will be from behind. And with another man to guard the opposite direction, a man of some nerve who knew how to handle a gun, we could go wherever -we wanted to and' not be Compelled to keeD under cover a portion of the time as I am in traveling alone. COULDN'T TRUST MERRILL. "But Merrill was N. G. He was nevei anything but an impediment to me and I am glad he is out of the way. I never could trust him on guard except in places where there was no dangerany way, and then he was so frightened that at times he would wake me up needlessly in the fear that we were be ing surrounded. "So when I got the paper and saw that the reporters and the people thought he had some nerve it made me hot. I thought at first I would shake him and travel alone, but before we agreed to separate 1 taunted him with his cowardice and he got huffy. Then we agreed to fight a duel. This was in the woods in Lewis county, not far from Chehalls. "We agreed to start together from a line and walk ten steps each, in oppo site directions from each other.and then turn simultaneously and begin firing. From his haggling in arranging the terms i was convinced that he was in tending to turn before he had taken the ten steps and I was determined not to let him get the drop on me like that So when I had taken i eight steps, I turned around and took a shot at him. I hit him in the back. The first shot did not -finish him and I shot again. That finished him. I then concealed the body in tne brush and proceeded on my way. ''Merrill only got what he deserved. He intended to turn and shoot me In the back, then he would have sneaked out of the country through the big timber and would not have been heard of for months.- -1 would not only have been dead, but would never have been found. because he would have been afraid to tell where my body was. FINDING MERRILL'S BODT. The body of Dave Merrill, Tracy's pal was found July 15 in the woods bv Mrs. Mary Wagner and her 12-year-old son, of Napavine, who will claim the reward of $2,750. While picking berries they dis covered the corpse thrown over a log and jammed between two tree stumps a few feet off the main road. A bullet hole was plainly seen in the back and also one in the wrist. Three 30.30 Win chester shells were found, one behind a cedar tree at the roadside, and two about ten feet from the corpse. The indications are that Tracy fired the first shot from behind the tree and then stepped nearer and completed the as sassination of his dying pal and broth er-ln-law. Tracy first told the storv that he had killed Merrill the day that he rode in a captured launch to Seat tle, July 2. HIS CHARMED LIFE. Story of Constant Escape and Baffling Pursuit One-of the correspondents wrote this to his paper one day about the middle of July: "One more day has passed and Harry Tracy is as free as he was on the day of his murderous escape from Salem prison, June 9. Clue after clue' was run down, today of the assassin s where abouts, but they all failed to accom plish anything. Miles and miles of ter ritory were covered and dozens of roads and out of the way places were searched but the phantom-like Individual whose criminal reputation has never been equalled, eluded his pursuers and single-handed kept out of the way of scores of Winchesters and the blood hounds. "His charmed life stays with him Over a week ago it was predicted that his good luck would soon turn, but it nasn t. He is as far from arrest or death as at any time in a week, in fact much further. Tine after time the offi cers have said that the outlaw was sur rounded and that escape was impos slble. Guards were placed around the spot where Tracy was supposed to be Then the officials went to bed planning to make the attack in the morning at daybreak. But when daybreak came Tracy had disappeared. It was the same old story often told. No plans, no matter how well laid, entrapped the wonderful criminal. He would be next heard of from 12 to 15 miles away. Then posses and dogs would make a new start but Tracy was always several hours in the lead. The scent was too old and the dogs would not act. He employed strategy, and cunning in throwing the deputies off the track. Purposely he showed himself in various places while officers were watchine else where. When his pursuers proceeded to the outlaw s last stand he would double back to the very point the officers had left insufficiently guarded. When they were after him again he departed as successfully and mysteriously as he came, it was cnase arter chase wito no results. Tracy beat theji at every lurn.

Judge Hazen Decides the Pre liminary Motions. Big Martindale Lawsuit Comes to an End. THROWN OUT OF COURT Was No Fraud in Purchase of Martindale Banch. Decision is Complete Tindication of Maj. Hood. Judge Hazen this morning decided the demurrer in the case of William Martin dale against R. T. Battey and others Judge Hazes held that the previous judgments secured in the federal court were not obtained by fraud. This decis ion is in favor of Calvin Hood who holds the property in controversy. The property was sold to Hood by a decree of the federal court The plaintiffs claimed that this' de cree was obtained by fraud. Judge Hazen says that the pleadings do not show fraud and that the federal court decree cannot be disturbed. The decision is a complete vindica tion of Major Hood, as the court hold that the decree of the federal court directing the sale of the land to Hood at the price named was regular, and tnat no traud whatever Is shown. The case was broueht In the district court "by William Martindale against R. T. Battey as trustee of Martindale prop erty, and I. E. Lambert his attorney, and Calvin Hood, the purchaser of pro perty from the Martindale estate for $41,000. The charge was made that Bat tey and the other defendants were, guilty of fraud in securing a judgment trom Judge Phillips of the federal court to sell part of the Martindale estate to Hood for $41,000 as the property could be sold for more. It was asked that the judgment of the federal court be set aside and that damages be awarded to make up the difference between the sell ing price of the property and the value of $140,000 set up in the petition. A cross petition asked that all proceedings be set aside. In delivering his opinion on the mo tions Judge Hazen said. "In the case of Martindale against Battey several demurrers have been filed to the plain tiffs petition and to the cross petition. The demurrers have been fully argued and thoroughly briefed. This case is of great importance and the court has taken considerable time in determining whether the petition states a course of action." "The first proposition discussed relates to the jurisdiction of this court. First it is contended that plaintiff is seek ing to seV aside conveyance and that this is an action relating to real estate and can not be maintained where there is none of the real estate and therefore contended this court has no Jurisdiction. This question has given the court no little trouble. Authori ties can be found sustaining both sides. As there are other questions I do not think necessary to decide that now. It is also claimed that this is a transitory action because it is a case against Bat tey in Lyon county. That is another question on which at one time I decided this was a local action but upon fur ther investigation I was forced to aban don that and decide that this case can, perhaps, be brought wherever one of the defendants can be served But I do not wish to decide that as I do not think it necessary. "The question upon which the court decides this case is the question that in order to sustain the plaintiff this court must hold that the decrees of the fed eral court are a nullity. My judgment is that facts do not- warrant the court in holding that the judgment of the fed eral court is a nullity. The question in the case of Harvey against Battey In the federal court was whether Battey was proceeding properly. That was the 1 issue, it seems to me tnat tne court 13 not going beyond its authority when it says that Martindale must have known of the pendancy of that case. The real question in that case was whether Battey was wrongfully attempting to dispose of this trust estate. That la the question in this action, whether Battey did' wrongfully dispose of this estate. Parties in this case in the fed eral court knew that Battey contem plated selling this estate to Hood for $41,000. j "The sale was postponed and parties decided that the price was fair and then the order of sale was made. It seems to me that the court is not warranted In saying that the decree was granted through fraud. If we litigate this case we must determine the same questions deckled In the federal court "We must not lose sight of the fact that Hood owed no duty to Martindale or Battey. He had a right to buy the property at the lowest figure he could. He had no right to enter into any con spiracy. He stands on a different level than Battey. "It seems to me after a thorough con sideration of the case, that while I am not entirely satisfied my best judgment is that the petition does not contain a cause of action, and the same regarding the cross petition. In deciding this de murrer I am deciding it with that part of the petition referring to the setting aside of the deeds stricken 'out at the request of Judge Horton. "The demurrer to the petition and to the cross petition will be sustained." MR. GLEED EXPLAINS. In speaking of the decision in the Martindale-Battey case, J. W. Gleed, one of the attorneys for Major Calvin Hood, said: "There were a very large number of interesting legal questions involved in the case. One was as to whether the suit could be brought in the court at all. Another was as to whether the claims were barred by the statute of limitation, and there were half a dozen other Important questions. These questions Judge Hazen did not consider it necessary to decide. The gist of the decision he did make is this: The prop erty was sold under a decree of the federal court. Martindale and his cred itors charged this decree was obtained by fraud and attempted to set forth facts showing that it was obtained by fraud Judge Hazen passed over all the other questions, or most of them, and holds that the federal decree was not obtained by fraud and therefore can not be disturbed." The attorneys in the case for William Martindale were 'Judge A -H. Horton, Judge A. L. Redden. Rossington, Smith Histed and Judge T. F. Garver.- The attorneys for Battey and Major Hood were Col. O. IS. sterry.or los Angeles, John Madden of Emporia. Ferry Doran and Gleed. Ware Gleed of To-peka. NEGRO PREACHERS HERE. Conference of M.K.

RUIN AT MANITOU Flood Sweeps Down lite Pass, Doing Great Damage. Rainbow Fall Has Been Put Oat of Existence. Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 6. The fair town of Manitou presents a sor rowful spectacle. There was a cloud burst in the vicinity of Woodland Park yesterday afternoon, and the flood that descended Ute Pass did more dam age in Manitou and the pass than had been done before by a single storm for years. There Is not a wagon bridge left in Ute Pass below Cascade. Rainbow Falls, one of the beauty spots of the vicinity of Manitou, has been put out of existence. The carriage road is washed out completely at several places. In the Soda Springs park in Manitou the wreckage, consisting of household goods, lumber, railroad ties, bridge tim ber, tree trunks, etc.. Is fro.n 20 to 30 feet high. During the night of the flood the stores along the north side of Canyon avenue were a foot under water for an hour. Fully 100 light dwellings have been moved from their foundations. There were many reports of loss of life but none was confirmed. The Denver Rio Grande lost a bridge between Manitou and Colorado Springs and is washed out at Buttes. eighteen miles below this city and at Wigwam which is thirteen miles north of Pueblo. The Colorado Midland line is totally destroyed In Ute Pass. OTHER STORM DAMAGE. Denver, Col., Aug. 6. News reached this city today that an anormous amount of damage was caused In Huer fano county. Col., yesterday afternoon by the rainstorm. So far four cloudbursts have been re ported. The first occurred five mileS west- of walsenburg on the Denver Rio Grande and swept away the 100 foot railroad bridge at that point. The full .amount of damage cannot be estimated at this time, but it will pro bably run into six figures. On the oth er hand the storm, which broke a long continued drouth will prove of great benefit to farmers-and stock growers. IH THE OITCIL Rio Grande Train With 300 Excursionists Aboard Struck by Wall of Water Eight Feet High. Florence, Col., Aug. 6. A Rio Grande special passenger train from tne east, bound to California and carrying three hundred tourists, is in the ditch. Just east of Florence, near Swallow's where the wreck was caused by the train be ing struck by a wall of water eight fefet ing struck by a wall of water eight feet by the heavy rains in the mountains south of here yesterday. The brane- man saw the torrent when it was only a short distance from the train. He rushed through the coaches and told the passengers on the rear cars to hurry to the front of the train. Just as the last tourist left the rear coach the water struck the cars, and breaking the -coupling pins hurled then into the air and landed them forty feet from the track. The trucks were knocked off the day coach, which after striking the ground went down 15 feet Into the mud. The sleeper was thrown against the farm house of J. F. Roberts, which- was occupied by himself, wife and three children. The' coach formed a wall and turned the water from the house, thus saving the building from go ing into the river and also the lives of its occupants. The engine was badly damaged by the water, but managed to pull the two cars remaining on the track some ais tance from the flood and they are now occupied by the tourists and trainmen. Agent Menzel of the Florence station sent refreshments to the passengers. A wrecking train was ordered from Sallda. Agent Menzel said that three miles of track had been wash out be low Swallows. Several robberies wen- committed on the wrecked train. Mrs. M. E. Fonts of Ottumwa, la., reports the loss of a bag of diamonds and a diamond stick sin valued at $300. Miss C. H. Harshow of Cleveland.

Order Crew to Uncouple Engine and Express Car. COMMAND IS OBEYED. Blow Open the Safe and Carry Off Cash in Sacks. One of the Gang Was Killed During the Excitement. Mount Carroll, 111., Aug. 6. A daring and successful train robbery took place at Marcus on the Chicago, Burlington t Viumcy railway, five miles north of Sa vanna about midnight. The fine vesti- buled passenger train of eleven coaches. Conductor Emerson in charge, was flag ged at tne little station and six masked men boarded the engine. The engineer and fireman obeyed the orders of the robbers and at once uncoupled the en gine and express car from the train and ran them a quarter of a mile uo the track. They then blew up the express car with dynamite, ran the engine north a distance of a mile from Hanover and the locomotive becoming dead, the rob bers abandoned it ana escaped. One of the highwaymen was killed, being shot above the eye and also in the leg. He met instant death while in the engine and his body was dumped to the ground by his companions as they sped away. The express messenger. Bye, claim to have done the shooting. The deed was done quickly, the trainmen and passen gers making no defense. Six sacks of money were secured but the amount is not known. The passengers were not molested. There was no way to telegraph in news of the hold uo and the flagman walked back and gave the alarm. A special train of citizens and several po licemen at once proceeded to the scene, but as the track runs along the Mis sissippi and the country Is well adapted to a successful flight the robbers easily escaped. The work was evidently that of experts as they went at at coolly and methodically. The train attacked is one of the finest in the world and usually carried considerable money, which must have been known by the highwaymen. The dead robber. was a stranger in this vicinity.

Lord Derby is Scheduled For Another Big Race In a Wagon Contest at Tinkers Track Saturday. TWO OTHER FAST ONES. Tbe Monk and Louise Jefferson or Lucille Named. Lord Derby and Tbe Abbot to Contest August 14. New York, Aug-. 6. E. E. Smathers, owner of Lord Derby (2:06), announces that he has decided to withdraw the winner of the $40,000 match race at Hart ford from his grand circuit engagement at Buffalo this week and drive the horse iiimself in a race to wagon, with a blue ribbon for the prize, at Empire City park next Saturday. The New York Driving club of which Mr. Smathers is a member, will hold its fifth meeting at the Yonkers track at that time, and in order to make the oc casion a memorable one he has agreed to drive Lord Derby against C. K. G. Billings' Louise Jefferson, the mare that pulled a wagon at Cleveland In 2:08 a fortnight ago, and against Fred Ger ken's great trotter The Monk (2:084) and any other horses of free-for-all class that want to come .Into the con test. Mr. Billings has consented to drive either Louise Jefferson or the champion wagon trotter Lucille (2:07). Mr. Ger ken could not be seen today, hut as he is one of the officers of the club and an enthusiastic amateur relnsman, it is not doubted that he will make a great race possible by starting The Monk. Lord Derby's race against The Abbot (2:0S) for a purse of $10,000 will take place Thursday, August 14th, the fourth day of the grand circuit meeting at Brighton Beach. "I have offered to bet $6,000 against $10,000 that Derby will win," said Mr. Smathers, Derby's own er, today, "and I will be in the ring on the day of the race, ready to take a lot of it at those odds." "I believe Lord Derby can turn the Brighton track in 2: 05,. and we know he can trot all day. The Abbot may beat him a heat or two, but just watch my horse when it comes to the third heat. Geers is afraid of him. I know this from the way he talked at Hartford after driving Lord Derby an eacy mile in 2:08." Speaking of the Hartford race, Mr. Smathers said his winning apart from the main stakes of $20,000 a. side, were not large. He said the widely circulated report that he and Mr. Lawson had wagered $40,000 on the side was untrue. The stakes were $20,000 a side, and there was no other bet between them. The winner took all, together with sixty per cent of the gate receipts, which he es timated at $20,000. BTGOVEEN IS FAVORED. Made a Bettor Showing With Broad Than Did Corbett. New London, Conn., Aug. 6. Since November 28 of last year, when Corbett succeeded in knocking out McGovern in two rounds and thus attaining tbe title of feather weight champion, the Denver boxer has engaged in- only -one contest and that was with Kid Broad, at, Den ver, which resulted in a shade decision for the champion. The result of this contest has had considerable to do with McGovern being favorite in the ap proaching battle. Nearly every shrewd critic picks McGovern to win and prin cipally upon the showing made by Cor bett against Broad. The latter gave him a fierce argument for ten rounds and only lost by the closest kind of margin. McGovern beat Broad at a standstill in six rounds in this city when the Clevelander was a much better man than when he faced Corbett, and on these lines tbe doping of the coming feather weight championship battle is figured. Fitz Cheered at Theater. San Francisco, Aug. 6. Bob Fitzsim mons went to the Orpheum, and the ovation that was accorded him when he entered the theater will not soon leave his memory. John L. Sullivan, in the heyday of his fighting career, was nev er more cordially received than was the lank Australian. As soon as the big fellow entered the house a rousing cheer was set up, and not until long after he took his seat was quiet restored. Bob was called upon to make a speech. He kept his seat, although the noise was kept up for several minutes. He bowed to the crowd, but would not make a speech. Beferee Graney Still Unpaid. San Francslco, Aug. 6. When Eddie Graney stood at the side of Fitz and had counted ten, declaring Jeff the win ner of the contest, he was devoutly of the opinion that be was' giving a C. O. D. decision. It now develops that all he got was an I. O. V. He has not been paid, and unless he can persuade the club managers to hurry up tbe settling of the accounts it will be gome time be fore he receives the $500 fee' which he earned by staying in the ring until Fitz was whipped. Xleischmann's Winnings. New York, Aug.6. Julius Fleisch mann's stable, which has generally been found in the second flight at metropoli tan tracks, so far as winnings are con cerned, jumped to the first rank at the Brighton Beach meeting. Despite his small stable, the mayor of Cincinnati stands fourth on the list of winning owners, with $10,651 to bis credit in stakes and purses. General McLewee heads the list with $15,600. With the ex ception of $1,300 of this amount all of it was won by Gold Heels. Green Morris is second, and Keene's stable third. To the Fleischmann cracks Hurstbourne and Africander, can be credited fully four-fifths of this amount. Swimming Record Lowered. London, Aug. 6. Joe Nuttal lowered the world's quarter of a mile open water swimming record at Leicester today, going the distance in five minutes and 50 seconds. Ha held arecord of 6:51 for this distance In open water, Racing at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 6. McChesney, the much touted colt, backed from even money to 4 to 6, was badly beaten in the third race at Harle-n, a six furlong sprint. McCheaney, who was recently sold for $15,000, met with a bad fall at the former meeting at Harlem and this was his first start since then. The acci dent prevented him starting in the Derby, in which he was one of the ante post favorites. The colt was reported to have fully recovered from the acci dent and was played almost to the ex clusion of everything else in the race. The race went to Huaohuoa, at 9 to 1. with Corrigan, at 15 to 1, second, and Herodiade third. At the head of the stretch McChesney was far back, 5ut came mp strong and finished fourth. Dodino was .made the medium f heavy play in the first race, which she won easily, beintr backed from 25 to 1 to 15 to L Albert Enright, backed from 100 to i to o to 1, captured tne lourin event. On the Grand Circuit. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 6. The second day of the grand circuit was rather tame, Direct Hal and the Roman re peated their wins .of earlier in the seas on. The only excitement came in the first heat of thet224 pace, when there was a collision on the first turn, the drivers of King Charles and Grasshop per being unseated. Grasshopper made the circuit of the track without a driver, but King Charles was stopped. Cooper, who drove the former -was not hurt, but Maloney, jthe owner of King Charles got a black eye and a badly skinned cheek. The judges ruled that as the collision seemed unavoidable all horses would start in the other heats. Ma loney got up behind King Charles, and in the third heat made a plucky drive, getting second place and third money in the race. Direct Hal had the pole and was al ways in front In the 2:25 pace, Geers not being compelled to reduce his horse's record to win. The Roman drew sixth position in the 2:18 trot, but Went through the horses and won easily. Both were heavy favorites. Direct Hal at $50 against $15 for the field and the Roman at $50 against $10. The 2:30 pace was also decided .In straight heats, being a procession in each instance. Gold Brick was held at $50 to $11 in the pooling. 40 to 1 Shot at Saratoga. Saratoga, Aug. Par Excellence, quoted at 40 to 1, a selling plater of only ordinary class, won the classic Alabama Stakes for three-year-old fillies in a bard drive by a neck from the 30 to 1 shot, Lux Casta. The result was one of the greatest upsets of the present racing year. William C. Whitney's Gunfire was an oddson favorite, but she, together with Hatasoo, was raced into the ground be fore the head of the stretch was reached and both wer badly beaten at the end. Josepha finishing third. The start of the race caused a lot of crowding, Par Ex cellence and Femesole coming together, the latter being thrown out of her stride. The California owned and bred two-year-old, Alsono, gave a great exhibi tion of speed and stamina in the open ing dash, .making up a gap of twenty lengths and winning by a neck from Boutonnierre. The track was fast, Zo roaster running a mile in 1:S9 3-5, es tablishing a new record for the course. "Wyeth's Sister is Fast. Lexington, Ky., Aug. The most sensational yearling trial in Kentucky this season was shown by the yearling filly sister to Wyeth, when she worked a quarter mile in 0:23 with 125 pounds up. The filly is owned by T. H. Stevens who bred the American Derby winner, and worked In company with several of the farm youngsters in a tryout race. What is regarded as the most sensation al 2-year-old pacer in the world, a bay filly by Austral, dam Lottie Lee, owned by Robert Aull of St Louis, worked a mile for Clem Beachy here in i:134, the last quarter 0:31. Beachy thinks she can pace in 2:10. Upset at Detroit. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 6. The first acci dent of the Highland Park meeting hap pened in the fourth race, which was a four and one-half furlongs dash for 2-year-olda and had ten starters. Four of the starters fell shortly after Cassidy re leased the barrier. Lady Gallantry caused the trouble. She bled and fell with Jockey Adams, and Enhance, with Jockey Min der, Lome with C. Kelly, and Exapo with Jockey Kinster, fell over her. Kinster was the only one of the boys who was able to get up. The others had to be car ried to the jockey's room, where it was found they were badly bruised, but not seriously injured. Only one favorite, Lorina, won. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, Aug. 6. Joe Lesser, Jack Young, Bengal and Josie F., were the winning first choices at Delmar, the other two events going to a strongly backed second choice and an outsider. After setting the pace in the feature event, a six furlongs sprint, Erema, the favorite, faltered at the last sixteenth pole and was beaten by two lengths by Miss Golightly. NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Kirby of Iola Shoots and Kills His Son. The Young Man Had Been Drinking Heavily. A RAZOR IN HIS HAND Father Claims the Killing Was in Self Defense. One Witness to the Deed Who Refuses to Talk, Iola, Aug. 6. T. F. Kirby shot and killed his son, 3. L. Kirby, last evening. After the shooting the father ran home and was soon arrested and lodged in Jail. There was no witness to the shoot ing except another son and all the par ties refuse to discuss it. The Kirbys came here about a month ago from El Dorado, and opened a drug and Jewelry store. They have been enjoying a good trade and tbe business was prospering. The father owned the store and the two sons were working for him. During the afternoon the son who was shot began drinking and when be came into the store after supper, began abus ing the father and brother. This trou ble was settled amicably and the son started to sweep out the store. He had finished and was standing at a side door on a prominent street. Suddenly the father shot through the screen and the boy fell to the pavement. The bullet passed through the temple. Death was instantaneous. In the dead man's hand was found an open razor. Immediately after the shooting the father stepped outside the rear door and went to his home, where he was arrested. He made no effort to escape. The father refused to discuss the shooting further than to say that he shot in self-defense. He said his son started to attack him with a razor and that he shot to protect him self. It is known that there has been trouble between father and son for a long time. The boy had been given to hard drink ing of late years and in addition was a confirmed user of cocaine. Twice be fore they have had trouble, but noth ing of a serious nature. The family was engaged in the drug business in El Dorado. The' murdered son left a, -Wife and one child. A coroner's jury has been summoned to investigate the case. FIGHT THE BELL 'PHONES. Fierce "War Raging at Ottawa Be tween Local Companies. Ottawa, Kan., Aug. 6 A fierce war Is raging here between the Bell Telephone company and the Ottawa Telephone com pany. Up to about four years ago, the Bell people had the field here. The rates were thought to be exorbitant, conse quently only about forty families had 'phones. The Ottawa Telephone company got a franchise, selling office 'phones for 31 per month. The company is com $2 per month and residence 'phones for posed of local men and Frank L Brown and Joe Carey, of Garnett. The Bell com pany cut its rates but has not increased its service materially until the past month,-when some shrewd solicitors have added several hundred 'phones to its list. Its employes succeeded In getting several of the local phone patrons to change their 'phones. Frank L. Brown appeared on the scene a few days ago and things began to warm up. It was through his efforts that the butchers combined and ordered their Bell 'phones out. The Bell people attempted to put the 'phone back,- but most of the butchers stood- "pat. A meeting was called last night of a number of business men when the war was discussed. The meeting resulted in the appointment of fifteen menchants to make a canvass of the town and Use what persuasive powers they have to get 4he people to take out the Bell 'phone. BOBBED TWO FISHEBMEN. Tramps With a Gun Hold Up Men in a Box Car. The Emporia Gazette says: If you are going box-gar riding leave your money home. 'Another hold up at the hands of two ugly tramps occurred west of here Saturday night. Two Santa Fe firemen, Weather string and Hall, were returning from a fishing trip and were riding in a box car. A few miles west of Emporia, two tramps who occupied the same car, sur prised the firemen. One bum flashed a gun In the firemen's faces while his "pal" lit the matches and searched the victims. They found $4 on one, and $2.25 in the other fireman's pockets. The tramps were not at all boisterous rob bing the men and all concerned accept ed the affair as a matter of fact. The tramps kept the gun handy until the train stopped and then hit for the tall timber. The tramps didn't take tbe fish, in fact the catch was too small to bother with. TROUBLE AT WELLINGTON.

RAILR0ADJ1EWS. Moki Snake Dane to Take Place on Aug. 20. FestiTities Begin on August 11 and Last 9 Days. A TRIP WAGOXSrt 75 Miles by Stage Across the Painted Desert Oi?es Tourists a Few Days of Genuine Camp Life. Announcements have Just been re ceived by the Santa Fe that the cele brated Moki snake dance will probably take place, on August 20. Arrange ments are being made to accommodate the usual rush of tourists to this pe culiar pagan ceremony in which the Pueblo Indians dance with, live rattle anakes in their handa. The announcements say "probably" when giving the date for the dance. That is one of the peculiar things about the Moki dance. It is preserved with nearly all of original sentiment, and even the big railroad corporations can not find out exactly when the event is going to take place. Like Mrs. C. Na tion, the programme presented is likely to be postponed or changed at the last minute. i However, it is reasonably certain that the Moki dance will begin about August 11 and will continue till the 20th, the concluding day being the day of the snake dance. The province of Tusayan, or Moki reservation, comprises 4,000 souare miles and Is inhabited by 2,000 Indians, who are grouped in seven villages on three high mesas near the southern border. Oraibi on the west mesa, where the most interesting festivities are to take place, is peopled by Indians who are more conservative than those of the other villages, but they are wholly friendly to strangers. The dance there Is said to be better than the ones to be held at Shipaulovi and Sichomovi, on the second mesa. The flute ceremony at Mishongnovi and Wolpi on the middle and eastern mesas, occurs about the same time. This novel dance is an elaborate affair, and by many considered as equal to that with the snakes. The department of the interior re quires that all visitors to the Moki reservation shall have a permit issued by the superintendent and acting U. S. Indian agent, Mr. Charles E. Burton, who may be addressed care Moki Train fhg School, Keam's Canyon, Arizona. The possession of such a permit helps to insure courteous treatment by in dians and employes. The Moki dance Is one of the chief attractions which the Santa Fe railway offers to western tourists during the summer. The Moki Pueblos are about seventy-five miles from the main line of the Santa Fe, and the tourist leaves the train at Canyon Diablo or Winslow, Arizona. The only means of transportation from the railway to Mokiland is by teams. The trip requires four days, and the road lies across the almost level "Painted Desert, which has an alti tude of 6.000 feet. A certain romantic charm is added to the excursion from the fact that the comforts of civilized travel have to be left behind for the trip, and the tourists who make It must be prepared for a little taste of "roughing It." There are no permanent accommodations for vis itors at the Moki villages, and no pro visions are for sale. Most tourists pro vide themselves with tents, bedding, food and a complete camping outfit. The party which will start from Win slow will be under the management of B. C. Creswell. who has announced a round trip rate of $35 and Includes everything needed for the triji covered rigs, drivers, tents, bedding and food. No extra charge is made if passengers wish to stay at Oraibi two days instead of one. 'it.. f i J From Canyon Diablo F. W. Volz, an Indian trader, has charge of an excur sion limited to 40 people. He charges $35 for a five days trip. George Wharton James, a professor who has considerable repute as a lec turer and author, is organizing a small party to visit all the Moki villages, tak ing in the snake and flute dances. The tour will continue "for two- weeks, and will cost $75 for each passenger. In its advertising circular for the Moki excursion the Santa Fe company says: "Wear thick-soled shoes; smoked spectacles or eye-glasses will afford pro tection from the sun; hats should be of straw and have a broad brim; outing suits of light colors are preferable; avoid dark-colored clothing, which catches all the dust; carry along a waterproof wrap for emergencies; the underclothing: should be of moderate weisrht. "A few simple medicines will be handy in case of sickness. Indian children love candy; provide yourself with a supply. Bring your camera, but protect Its contents from the intense light of the Arizona sunshine. Outfitting can be done at Winslow and Canyon Diablo. At trading posts en route Indian curios and small sup plies may be bought." A TICK FROM WASHINGTON but bis head waa crushed and one leg cut off bv the wheels. He lived about ten minutes. Warren was about 50 years of age and unmarried. He has a sister In Arkansas. He was well liked, in San Bernardino and liked the town and often expressed a wish to be buried there. JOHNSON'S NEW DOUBLE. Will Give Correct'. Time Daily to the City of Mexico. El Paso, Texas, Aug. 6. The Mexican Central has arranged to receive correct time through the Western Union at the City of Mexico each day direct from Washington. The wire distance is over 3.000 miles. The time will be wired through direct without relavs. It will be sent to El Paso over a direct wire from Washing ton, thence over the pony wire to Juarez, where it will connect with a through wire to Mexico City. Just at the tap of noon in Washington the hour will strike in the City of Mex ico. The local time there corresponding to noon at Washington is 11:24, and as the hour of noon strikes In Mexico all wires of the entire Mexican Central sus tem will be closed and the hour tapped out to every office of the company. This arrangement will be the means of giving every clock on the entire sys tem the correct time each day and will result in absolute uniformity of time. Santa Fe Timekeeper Killed. Frank Warren, for a long time time keeper at the Santa Fe shoos in San Bernardino, was killed in the yards at Barstow last week by falling beneath the train. He was starting on his trip back to San Francisco when the acci dent happened. He was on the over land, which pulls out of the yards swift ly. When found Warren was still alive Santa Fe Men Tell a Fish Story About Theatrical Traffic Manager. Theatrical Passenger Traffic Manager Roy Donald Johnson of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway has lust re turned from a flying trip to Chicago; where he went on business of the com pany. According to some of the railroad men Mr. Johnson had a peculiar experience while waiting for his train in the Dear born station. A man approached him rapidly and said: "Say, old man, you can't get out of town on this train. We need you." The man was a total stranger to Mr. Johnson, but the theatrical traffic man ager of the Santa Fe is not the sort of a person to be taken aback' by unex pected occurrences. So Mr. Johnson put on a brave look and said: "Why, what's up?" "Oh, everything. In the first place you had better write me a check for about a thousand. We need it. Four hundred Fenians had a meeting last night, and ripped you wide open. Something will have to be done for them. Then you ought to stay a day or so to look after Scraggs and McEl heney and the small fry. I tell you it ain't safe for you to pull out -now, that's fiat. Where are you going, anyway?" "I'm going to Topeka, Kas" said Johnson. "What in thunder are you going there for?" demanded the man. "Jim said you were going to Joliet to join your mother in her automobile trip to Cleve land. What do you want at Topeka? When will you be back? "It may be for a day, it may be for ever!" sighed the theatrical traffic man ager. "Fact is, I am sort of figuring on living in Topeka." Great Scott! Who are you, any way?" "My name is Johnson," said the Santa Fe man pensively. "Johnson! Lord, I thought you were Honore Palmer! Say. it's on me. I'm one of Palmer's political friends, you see. Wonder if I've given, away any inside information. Johnson well, b'gosh! You're a dead ringer for Palmer in looks, though come to think about it, your voice is kind of queer, and I never saw Palmer wearing clothes just like yours. But then, if you're from Kansas, I suppose it's all right. Got time to step over to the club before your train leaves?" Johnson was frequently mistaken for President McKinley before the death of the latter, and now that a new double for the Santa Fe man has appeared, he knows that his troubles are not over yet. Topeka Man Coming Home. The Las Vegas Optic says: B. A. W. Olsen, who has been in the Santa Fe hospital for the past month for rheum atism, will return next week to his du ties in the freight claim department at Topeka. Carnegie Library at Salina. Salina, Kans.i Aug. 6. F. C. Gunn, the Kaasas City architect has complet ed the plans for the Carnegie library to be built here and the work on the structure will begin before long. The building is to cost $15,000 and will be a fine structure. mrtui m j SweetXwsp f LAKE5. Gives Physical and Mental Stamina ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. A.

TABLE AND KITCHEN. Conducted by Lida Ames Willis, Mar. quette Building, Chicago, to whom all In. quiries should be addressed. All rights reserved by Banning Co., Chicago. The Peach and Its Cousins. The season of the fresh peach Is all too short for the lovers for this rich and luscious fruit, but fortunately It may be preserved in many ways, although many of these methods partially destroy their fine flavor. Drying them preserves their delicate aroma more effectually than other methods, but when canned or pre served they are more attractive in ap pearance for the table. While the peach, like the apple,, be longs to the order Rosacea, it possesses none of its hard qualities, but is very perishable. Of all the common fruits it contains the smallest amount of sugar, not more than 1.57 per cent, and is there fore specially adapted for the diabetic and gouty, in its fresh condition; evapor ated the fruit is sweeter as it is then in condensed form. The stone removed. there is comparatively no solid matter, as the fruit consists entirely of juice, with the exception of one or two per cent solid. This juice possesses a strong but delicate aromatic flavor and is really naturally brewed nectar which is most satisfying as well as delicious and is en closed in balls of gold which melt almost at the touch of the lips. There are many sub-varieties of peach but the principal divisions are free-stone and cling-stone. The later is the richer and of finer flavor, but not so desirable for many purposes on account of the tenacity with which the succulent por, tlon clings to the stone. THE NECTARINE. This seems a very close relation to the peach, and is without doubt simply variety of peach distinguished from it by its smooth skin. It is more delicately flavored than the peach and considered, by many, even more delicious, it may be substituted for the peach in any decipe given for the latter fruit. To enjoy in full the delight of either peach or nectarine they should be served in as simple a manner .as possible and uncooked, pared and sliced, and sugared after serving to suit each individual taste. Peaches and cream have long been considered unequaled among the table dainties and certainly they make a most tempting combination. THE APRICOT. In many respects this fruit closely re sembles the peach, but belongs to the plum tribe and really possesses more of its qualities than it does of those It bears a closer semblance to. While all these fruits came originally from the far east. the apricot seems to have retained more of the air of the orient than the peach and nectarine. It ripens somewhat ear. lier than th peach and now comes into the markets in considerable quantities with other choice California fruits. The apricot may also be used in all recipes which call for peaches and it is there for unnecessary to give many separate recipes for the preparation of this fruit. BAKED PEACHES. Cling-stones are the best for this meth ed of cooking. Wipe the fruit with a flannel or soft cloth and pack them into a stone jar, filling about two-thirds full, scattering a little .sugar among them. Then cover with cold water and place the jar in the oven, baking the peaches slowly until they are tender and trans parent, but not broken. It will require front two to three hours, according to sizes of peaches. These are delicious, as this method retains their flavor well. SWEET PEACH SHORTCAKE. The plain shortcake ran be made by same recipe which calls for strawberries, but many like the sweet peach cake. Take a large teaspoonful of butter and a cup of granulated sugar and beat them to a cream. Beat three eggs light and add to sugar and butter. Measure two cups of flour; add two level teaspoonfhls of baking powder and half a teaspoonful of salt, and sift twice with the flour. Stir this into the other materials and make a smooth dough. Butter three lay er cake tins, spread the dough in the tins and bake in a quick oven for twenty minutes. Peel the peaches, removing the stones, and cut the fruit into small pieces, sprinkle a cup of sugar over them and toss about until well mixed. Spread a layer of fruit over one cake, place an other on top and cover with peaches, then add the third cake. Spread the top with Bllced, unsweetened peaches and cover with a meringue made of the beaten white of one egg and a table spoonful of powdered sugar.

Could you plaaa give me a good recipe for stuffed toma toes and hashed brown potatos? STUFFED TOMATOES. Select tomatoes that are very firm, Bmooth and of uniform size. Cut a small slice from the stem end of each and carefully remove the seeds without breaklne the outside wall of tomato. Make a sutffing as fillows; For six medium-sized tomatoes one and one-half cups of bread crumbs, one and one-half teaspoonful of salt, quarter' of teaspoon ful of pepper, little minced onion or julcs and two teaspoonfuls -of melted butter. Mix all well together; dust inside of the tomato with salt and pepper and fill each tomato full; put a bit of butter on tP of each, place the tomatoes in a baking dish, not crowding them and bake in a moderate oven for forty minutes. The tomatoes should be tender but not brok en. Serve hot from same dish. They may be stutled with cola cooKea meat chopped fine and well seasoned or with rice, etc HASHED BROWN POTATOES. There are two ways of preparing these; one method is to hash them in cream sauce and bake In the oven. The favorite way, however, for breakfast, is to boil potatoes in their skins until they are just tender, no longer, peel them and when cold chop very fine, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper as you chop. Put a little butter In a frying pan and when hot put in the hashed potatoes packing them down smoothly; then place on the range when they will cook slowly for fifteen or twenty minutes. Do not stir them. When a nice brown color on the bottom and dry .and floury looking on top they are done. Fold them over care fully like an omelet and turn out on a hot plate and garnish with parsley and grilled tomatoes.

At the stable door he met the outlaw. "I'm Tracy, and I'm hungry and tired," was the latter's greeting. "You take me into the house and get me something to ekt I want to rest." The terror-stricken Scandinavian hur riedly assured the man witii the gaa that he would do anything he demand ed. This he did in a manner best re lated by Mrs. Johnson when she re covered sufficiently to tell about their visitor: "Johnson walked to the bouse. Tracy following him, the latter carrying his rifle in both hands ready to shoot at a moment's notice. They stepped into the kitchen door after Tracy had spoken to me and called me Mrs. Johnson. How fr know oir nmf I did not know, be cause my husband did not tell him. "He threw his hat on the floor and took a seat near the kitchen stove. Johnson sat on the side of the wood box.

He ordered me to get his breakfast. There was al ready a hot fire in th stove. I fried some eggs, made some batter cakes and some oatmeal. When the breakfast was cooked he sat down at the table and ordered us to do the same. All the time he kept his rifle on his lap and laid a revolver on the eorner of the table. He ate ravenously and scarcely said a word all the time. When finished he said that he enjoyed the meal and felt bet ter. "Tracy looked tired and worn out. He complained that his left teg hurt him that he- had rheumatism in it. Breakfast over, Tracy ordered us all into the front room adjoining the kitchen.. Next to this room is a small bedroom without a door. Tracy told us all to alt down. We did so, close together. The bed in close to where the door should be. Tracy dropped onto the bed, laying his bead on two pillows, which he had placed IB a position to prop him up. For nearly an hour he stayed there, scarcely speak ing a word. Finally he arose from the bed and said to Johnson:-'" ORDERED TO BUY PISTOLS. 'Have you any money? You've got to get me two six-shooters." "My husband looked into his pocket book and said he had-122. He offered It to Traey. The latter replied that he did not want the. money,- but he did want pistols. He said they would cost about $15 each. I had to, my son $1 and my daughter 50 cents.

Johnson came in the house on a run. He fell almost exhausted into a chair. 'Well,' said Tracy, 'did you get those guns and did you tell any one I waa here?' "Johnson replied that .he had not mentioned a word to- a soul. He then handed to Tracy a pistol and two boxes of cart ridges.

The City Conneil Will Approre Blackman's Paring. Blackman's brick have receive the official O. K. of the streets and walks committee of the city of Topeka, and the protest against the use of that kind of brick for paving on East Eighth av enue will in all probability be turned down this evening by the city council. It was a narrow escape which the brick had, however, from condemna tion through the abrasion test which waa performed this morning at the Capital Iron works. The Blackmail brick showed a loss of 1 per cent, the maximum under standard specifications being per cent. Brick from the Capi tal City vitrified brick plant lost 14.5 per cent.- Lawrence brick were not tested. It is admitted that the Lawrence brick are superior to Topeka brick, and some of the members of the committee were in favor of testing them to de termine Just how much advantage- they have. But owing to the fact that the samples of Lawrence biffk on hand were several years old and thoroughly seasoned, while the Topeka brick weri green, it was decided that the test would be unfair to Topeka brick. The test which the committee made this morning commenced at 9:30 and was not completed till 11:30. The Capi tal Iron works loaned the use of their "Tattler" for the tests. A rattler is a cylindrical Iron box, with a door in it. It is arranged to re volve forty revolutions to the minute. Twelve bricks to be tested were weighed, and then put into the box, together with twelve iron bats of the same size as the bricks. After being in the revolving box for thirty minutes, the bricks are taken out and weighed again, the per cent of loss de termined in the usual wayV Twelve Blaekman bricks weighed seventy-five pounds when put Into the rat tler. They weighed sixty-one and a half pounds when they came out, a toss of eighteen per cent. Twelve bricks from the Capital City vitrified brick plant weighed sixty-five and one-half pounds when they went in and fifty-six pounds when they came out. This was a loss of 14.5 per cent. Mr. Blaekman considers this test a vindication of his brick, and the coun cil men 'seemed to be glad to have the matter so easily settled. Wyoming Democrats Are Hustling. Rawlins. Wyn, Aug. s.

They Appeared to Be Nerrous and Excited. KIDDER PLAYS WELL. He Defeats Without Difficulty A. F. Williams. The Second Match Will Be Play ed Tonight. In the first night's play of the ping pong tournament between the Elks and the Topeka club teams, the Topeka clubmen swept the Elks team off its feet by decisive victories. The Topeka players won fifty-eight games to forty games for the Elks and took seven sets against four for the B. P. O. E. play ers. The result of the first night's play was a surprise to those who have been watching the players during their six weeks of training. It waa expected that the Elks would carry everything before them from the start. The members of the herd believed that explicitly and some of the men from the Harrison street club admitted that the contest might be close. The event was the first ping pong match played in Topeka. The match will continue until all the players on the opposing teams have met each other or until one side has won the majority of the sets. The match was played in the large library rooms at the Elks' club. The soeeta tors were seated about the outside of the room and it was their duty to kick the ball back when it rolled away and to try and survive the evening without dislocating their necks. The bitter feel ing, which it was rumored existed be tween the partisans of the two teams, was at least forgotten for the evening: Everything went off nicely without any quarrels with the umpire and the crowd maintained perfect order. It was demonstrated that lawyers, railroad men, printers and bankers can play the game in a scientific manner. Socially the ping pong tournament was a great success. It beats dancing in summer time for only ten men had to fume and perspire and run the risk of heat pros trations while the rest sat around In linens and flannels and sipped lemon ades and fanned themselves. The first surprise was when Pancoast Kidder of the Topeka club defeated A. F. Williams by the decided score of 6-0, 6-L Mr. Kidder played a decidedly steady game on the defensive. Williams tried the offensive and forced matters from the start- His play was fast but not so sure and steady as his onpon ent's. Williams tried to hug and play fast but Kidder kept the ball up in the ar. Williams was not used to this kino of play. The slowness of the Play strung the two sets out over an hour and a balf. Kidder seemed better trained and he withstood the strain and fatigue of the contest while Williams was greatly excited and his trainers had to keep him encouraged and stimulated with ice water and. chewing gum. Dr. Munn was in attendance and looked af ter the physical condition of the players He inspected Williams after the contest and found his heart action grently In creased. The result showed that Kid der knew quite as much about a ping pp"g table as a mortuary table The next players to step up to the mark were Theodore Hammatt, of the Topeka crab, and Adrian Sherman, of the Elks. Hammatt won readily by the score of 8-2, 6-0. Sherman's play was hard and fast but Hammatt handles his vicious serves with remarkable accur acy. Sherman was overtrained and be came rather nervous under the intense strain of the conflict and fn trying to place his returns he sent the celluloid sphere to the floor too often. Dan Hammatt, for the Elks, defeated George Crawford, of the Topeka club, by the scoreof 6-4, 6-3, the closest match played up to that time. Ham matt's serve was fast and bugged the net. Crawford could not handle it and Hamm ait's out shoots were returned wild. Things began to look rather bad for the Elks. John Lord got red in the face. Charles HoUiday caned a council of war. Johnny Waters smoked two stogies hand running. Will Alexander the official trainer of the Elks' team, called his players to a eouncil of war. He threatened tar blanket and hood them and walk them round for exercise if they did not calm down and play bet ter. He sent Lou Br on son Into a side room for his last Draetiee before mak ing his appearance in the contest. John ny Waters announced that the reason the Topeka club men were doing so well was that they were playing on their own varnished redwood table while the Elks' team was used to a green topped table. Frank Bennett was sent to the table pitted against Herbert Armstrong, of the Topeka eiub. with orders to win. Bennett might have won if his foot had not slipped. He was chasing the elusive ball across the big rug when the rug slipped and Bennett came near being spilled. He regained his feet but the spectators were rude enough to laagh and he did not regain his composure and lost the mateb to Armstrong 6-3. 6-3. Both players served speedy balls but Armstrong's play was the steadiest and Bennett failed to place the ball on the table. He was thinking about the carpet where he slipped. The last bout was between Lou Bron son, of the Elks, and W. J. Black, of the Topeka club. It was the hardest fought contest of the evening. Bronson won after a spirited contest by the score of 4-6. 9-7, 6-2. The general passenger agent of' the Santa Fe surprised the spectators with his ability to put up a hard fight against Bronson whose serves and returns were fast and just over the net. Black served an easy cot ball which was quite effective and he handled Bronson's serves and returns with accuracy. The two played the only deuce set of the evening. The reason for this being the only exciting contest of the evening may have been for the fact that Bronson and Black worked out together for a couple of sets just before the contest. Some claimed that it was a hippodrome affair all fixed up to give the spectators at least one good contest but this base charre ;ls Indig nantly denied by the friends of both parties. It Is rumored that nnless this slanderous statement is withdraws that Black will forever retire from the ping pong table a la Kits. The officials of the tournament are Charles E. Gault. of the Elks, and W. B. Story of the Topeka club, judges and W. H. Ruff, of the Elks, scorer. The Elks claim that their players were at a disadvantage last night, as the score seems to indicate, and that the result of tonight's play will be different. The Elks are standing by their team, although Its colors are somewhat rum pled, and are wining to back the play ers with money, marbles or chalk; pre ferably chalk. JOHS DR. HI VERS ELECTED.

Another Injunction Asked in Supreme Court. Quinton Sc. Quinton, attorneys for Crane Co., took a new turn on the America Book company this morning by going into the supreme court and asking for another restraining order to keep the company from doing business in the state. It is not a new suit, but a new order Is asked for on the ground .that the American Book company has not com plied with the state corporation law. .The contention is made by the at torneys for Crane Co. that the Amer ican Book company did not comply with the requirements of the law in filing its statement that the statement was too general and not enough in detail, and that the company ought not to have been admitted into the state by tie charter board. The attorneys for the American Book company, on the other hand, contend that they have complied with the law and that the charter board is the sole judge of whether they have done so or not; that inasmuch as tbe board de cided that the company complied with the law and had been given authority to do business in the state, there is no longer any ground for an injunction against the company. The application was presented In chambers today before Chief Justice Doster and Justices Johnston and Greene. Quinton Quinton presented the application and it was resisted by major A. M. Harvey and F. Dumont Smith, representing the American Book company. The court took the matter under advisement for a short time. If this- injunction falls suit may be brought to annul the contract of the American Book company with the text book commission on the ground that it was made when the company could not do business in the state, and that it was obtained by fraudulent means. Later The court refused to grant the injunction. READY BY OCTOBER I. Mrs. Sheldon's New Building For Mills Dry Goods Co.

POLICE JOTTIMS. How Jailer Morgan Had a Foot Race With Himself. He Won the Contest and Stake of 93. harvest of soldiers. Pensioners Who Drink tip Their Allowance Arrested. Ail Easy Prey for the Topeka Jointists. JAILER MORGAN ran a foot race with himself this morning.Tbe stake amounted to $3 net. Morgan won. It was thus: Tom Smiley, an old sol dier and member of tbe City park pot gang, who was fined $5 with the rest, labored two days In the stein garten and then decided that he was too muscular to indulge in such pastime, so he voiced a willingness to pay the balance of his fine out of the eoin which was taken from him wheti arrested, and thus leave the vale of tears. He was turned out. and Morgan gave him his money, forgetting at the time to subtract $3 for professional ser vices. Tom spread his wings and dis appeared. Then Morgan discovered that he was liable, to pay $3 out of the personal check he draws today unless he caught Tom and induced him to re fund the three plunks. Hence his hasty exit from the coop in pursuit of the es cape. Luckily he found Thomas at the Rock Island depot and a settlement was effected. Isaac Yancey, colored, practically ad mitted that he was a seller of vile brew when he came in this morning and paid 159 for the privilege of selling on the past Sabbath. But perhaps be didn't sell anything. Who knows? The ehr.f says he "kept a tippling shop open on Sunday." Perhaps Isaae sat and held open the door all day, and didn't sell a drop. No? Tes? R. G. Whltmg, an old Soldier who came to Toneka to draw his IS bones, spent a portion thereof for the vile red booze. Consequently he became very offensive In his manner, and was de tained. The old man had one of those lasting- drunks, the product of very bad whisky. His first fine of $20 was reduced to $3 by the court today, and he promised to go straight to the Sol diers' home before he got into anr more trouble. Topeka jointists reap a rich harvest on oension day. A harm less Indian or a battered up, childish old man who gave a limb or his health to the government 40 years ago, is con sidered their lawful prey. The keepers of the low grade dives can't rob or short change an alert rounder, who knows them by heart, and they seldom try it. but let an Indian or old soldier escape from town with a dollar, and the dive keeper feels that he has been robbed of his just dues. Albert Ross, or "Albatross" as he calls himself, knowing that he is a bird, is in reality art Indian. Albert has money in the bank. Therefore, when he is arrested, he languishes all night In the coop, and in the morning", after being fined some five gobs of wampum, telephones his banker at Holton, Who" stands good, and Albert departs. Albert does this frequently. He made It work this morning. Con Kaufman was drunk, be admitted that such was tbe case. Three. Thanks. Come again. W.

Monday eVe the nrowfetor of an installment house called at the home of a colored woman who lives 'way down south on Washington street. The gen tleman from the easy payment empor ium intended to take away eertain goods which the colored woman, a Mrs. Hardy, bad purchased after the man ner known as two-bits-a-week. But the gentleman wandered away from the domicile of Mrs. Hardy without tbe goods. He wandered just a few feet prior to Mrs. Hardy, who meandered along in his wake with a broom. The gentleman from the easy payment hoase was a Srst-elass wanderer, and beat his pursuer under the wire. He decided that, although he was there af ter the goods, he was not there with the goods. It seems that Mrs. Hardy had neglected to keep up tbe two-bits-a-week proposition, and was therefore in arrears. The proprietor of tbe rug-and-parlor-lamp emporium had sent his substitutes after the bartered articles, bat they bad failed to make a hit with the lady of the bouse, and in each in stance had departed hastily, and with out that which they came after.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 6, 1G02. 6 CASH FLOWS IN. Foreign Corporations Begin to Pay Charter Fees. Supreme Court Decision Means Thousands of Dollars to State. THE FIRST IS $1,527.50. Central Coke Company Puts Up the Fee. Insurance Companies Must Pay Large Sums. The Central Coal and Coke company, of Kansas City, has forwarded to the secretary of state a check for $1,527.50 in payment of the company's charter fees under the recent decision of the supreme court in the American Book company case. This is the first com pany to advance the fees. The company has been doing busi ness in' the state for several years with out paying charter fees. In company with hundreds of other foreign corpora tions. .W. C. Perry, general attorney for the company, writes that they wish to comply with the laws of the state and as the supreme court decision seems to be very explicit in .the matter they forward the amount of their charter fees. Immediately after the decision was handed down and published the office of the secretary of state was flooded with requests from foreign corporations asking if they would be compelled to pay charter fees. The inquiries came all in a bunch and seemed to come from corporations which were anxious to comply with the requirements of the law. Those which proposed to wait for an invitation to pay up the fees evi dently did not write, for all of the in quiries came within a few days and then ceased. Secretary of State Clark was in New Tork at the time and Assistant Secre tary Hill P. Wilson had copies of the supreme court opinion printed and for warded to the inquirers. It was one of these opinions that brought the re sponse from the Central Coal and Coke company. If this opinion is enforced against all foreign corporations now doing busi nesb in the state, and there seems to be no reason why it should not be, it will brinar thousands of dollars into the state treasury. Only a small portion of the money will go into the general rev enue fund, however. The fees of the capital stock, amounting to $300 on the first million dollars of capital in big corporations, and $200 on each succeed ing million, all goes into the permanent school fund. This money is paid di rect to the state treasurer. The regular fee for the charter of $27.50, which is oaid resrardless of the amount of capi tal stock, is paid to the secretary of state and goes into the general revenue 1UUU, XL II 111 VVCIll LIIC CllCiai revenue fund the charter fees might go a long ways toward paying the state s expenses for the next few months. The big insurance companies alone will have to pay in thousands of dollars under the new decision. Their capital aggregates hundreds of millions of dol lars. Then there are some railroads ttnd ether big corporations which will add largely to the fund. The new char ter which the Rock Island recently took out in Iowa will cost the company $25,127,50 as a filing fee in Kansas under the i.ew supreme court decision. The Kansas fees are not nearly so large, however, as those of some other states. For instance, the Iowa charter cost the Rock Island over $125,000 in fees. The Kansas fee is only about one fifth as much. The task of enforcing the payment of tne fees against the foreign corpora tiers will probably devolve upon At torney General Godard. At present Mr. Godard is in California. He left the day the supreme court decision was handed down and will not return for three or four weeks, so it cannot be tula what course he will pursue. THIS FARMER WON OUT Stood Pat and Bluffed Lightning Bod Sharks. Tola. Kan.. 'Aug. 6. Kdward Swenson a farmer in Allen county, had a bout with a lightning rod outfit the other day tn which the farmer ultimately didn't come out second best. Swenson recently built a fine large barn and painted it red. It was the finest barn in that section. A lightning rod agent heard of it. He wanted to advertise his goods, so he told Swenson that he would wire and rod the barn for $7.5 provid Ing Swenson would tell the farmers in that vicinity who did the work. Swen- aon agreed and signed up a contract. A few days later a force of men came on and put up the lightning rods and presented a bill for $150. Swenson said the contract price was $7.50. They sprung the contract on him and sure enough he had signed up for $150. He am not read the contract when he sign ed It. He notified the lightning rod men that he would pay them exactly wnat ne oromlsed $7.50 and no more. They insisted getting the $150. Thines were becoming rather warm about that. lime, swenson sent his boy over in a field to notify a threshing outfit that they were wanted at the new barn at once to attend a necktie party. The Doy explained the trouble. The thresh ers stopped the machine and started for the barn in a body. The lightning rod men saw them coming, took Swenson's $7.50 and left. Swenson's new barn is literally covered with lightning rods and tney only cost mm 37.50. Pensions for Kansans. Washington, Aug. 6.

Congressman Calderhead has made the following statement regarding his candidacy for United States senator from Kansas: "I have thought that it would be soon enough to make this decision after the election in November, but the other can didates are presenting themselves now, and I do not wish to be put in the po sition of being considered as a condi tional candidate. It is better for the party to know who will be candidates in time to give them fair consideration. I made the announcement in answer to many letters received from all parts of the state. "I will not neglect my campaign for congress in this district, for the people have been so loyal in their support of me that I cannot neglect any services they may need. I will visit as many places in the state as I can during the time. I cannot make a close campaign to secure instructions from the counties to members of the legislature. I think the members of the legislature ought to be free to act on their best judgment at the time of the election of a senator. "I am deeply interested in the ques tions that will require the earnest at tention of congress during the next six years. The wonderful expansion of business in the world and the great or ganizations for carrying it on, the necessity of a correct system of banking and currency, the opening of the Isth mian canal, the conditions of trade with South America, the opening of trade with the Orient and with continental Russia, the means and methods of in ternational commerce, including trade relations with Cuba, the preservation of the world's peace, are only part of the work that will demand the active at tention of congress for the next six years. It is the most responsible work men are now called upon to perform. "To be selected to represent Kansas in all of this work in the United States senate would be a very great honor. I trust that my record may commend me to the representatives chosen and charged with the duty of electing a sen ator." KEMPFF'S WORK. The Admiral Will Unify All Marine Means of Defense.

Kansas City, Aug. ft Grading has commenced along the route of the pro posed line from Olathe to Kansas City and it is more than a possibility that old Merrlam park, which will be direct ly on the line, will be thrown open again after, being closed for years. It is hardly ten miles from Kansas Ciy and is re membered by many as one of the most beautiful plots of ground for miles around. Ten years ago it was a popular play ground for the public here and across the line and it was recognized as the place for all-day outings and pic nics. It was far removed from noise and surroundings of a city and madt a beautiful park. It was reached by the old Memphis route, now part of the Frisco system, but with a trolley line running there the trip would be many times pleasanter. The re-opening of Merrlam park would be a popular move as there is no longer a suitable plaee for picnics and outings of Sunday schools and other organizations. The promoters of this new electric line promise- that the line will be In operation within the next year. Con tracts for all grading between here and Olathe have been let and about a mile of work has been already done. The grading force started at Lenexa and is working toward Kansas City. The board of directors of the road, composed of T. A. Milton, B. L. Stine, J. Smith, L. Odom, F. C. Goodwin, J. O. Beety and L. H. Handesberger, took an inspection trip with the board of county commissioners over the route yesterday and examined the work which has been done in Jackson county. Aftei the return they held a meeting in Rose dale, at which they were waited upon by a body of citizens who asked that the route which now extends through Wtstport be changed to include Rose daie. The original routing of the road did not include Rosedale, but tne road Ias been unable to secure a franchise through Wyandotte county, and the pro moters claim that they are being dis criminated against as a franchise for a line to Topeka was granted to another company about two weeks ago. The Kansas City Olathe electric railway also proposed building on to Topeka, leaving the main line at Lenexa. The road officials say that the work from now on will be pushed. The con tract for the grading from Lenexa to Olathe, a distance of six miles, was let to Peter Egan, of Marshallville, la., at the meeting yesterday. Negotiations for the ties and rails are now on, and the contracts will be closed soon. 6 BAGS OF MONEY. (Continued from First Page.) a 20 minute stop was made for break fast. Engineer John E. Mooney of Minneapolis told a vivid story of the holdup. He said: "The robbers stopped the train by swinging a white light As soon as it stopped two men jumped into the cab and covered us with revolvers. One of them told the ireman to cut off the en gine. After this was done, the man who was poirting a gun at my head told me to pull the engine up a ways, -and I ran her up half a mile. Then they or dered me to jump off, and we walked back towards the train where we were joined by the express messenger and another robber. They took us to the rear of the buffet car and told us to sit there. One of the robbers left uv They worked for an hour blowing open the safe, and finally brought the en gine down again and all of them got aboard it "A few feet from the train they told me to jump off and run, whi;h I most assuredly did. They ran tb engine up seven miles and left her dead." Mr. Mooney has been running on the Burlington for 15 years, and this was his first experience with road men. He believes that the robbers killed one of their own number, either purposely or accidentally. Several shots were fired, some by the robbers and the rest by the express messenger. Mr. Mooney got a good look at one of the men, whose mask had slipped from his face, and describes him as young, of sandy com plexion, and about u feet 8 inches in height. He wore good clothes. t, Mr. Mooney believes that the bags se cured by the robbers contained only $L--00.

"STEEPLE JACK" DEAD. He Fell 98 Feet and Was Killed In stantly. New Tork, Aug. 6. Daniel Barry, a daring climber, known as "Steeple Jack" fell ninety-eight feet while working In the city hall tower and was Instantly killed, says a Philadelphia special to the Herald. Barry placed the electric lights' around the brim of the statue of William Penn which caps the hall tower 540 fee! above the pavement and occasionally would lower himself over that and hang in mid-air by his hands.

f TQPEK4. STAT JOURS AX WPNESDAY EYliOTNa, AUGUST 6 102. HE PICKS STANLEY Wm. Alien Whit Thinks He Will Be Next Senator. If Not U Will Name the Winner. FIGHT IN WYANDOTTE. Republicans Will Hare an In teresting Contest. Usual War Between the Various Factions Is On. William Allen White picks Governor Stanley for the winner In. the senatorial contest In an editorial in the Emporia Gazette he says: No one who looks at the senatorial race with unprejudicial eyes can fail to see that Stanley has a good lead.- He has strength in every district in the state and in every community. The lield will have to combine to heat him, and this the tield can never do; for the minute Curtis, Ltxig or Calderhead breaks, his force will go to Stanley This is dead sure. Either Stanley will be the next senator from Kansas or Stanley will name him, Stanley ia th power In the senatorial situation. "It ia worth while, .to enquire into Stanley and his strength. For in the jrowth of every strong man there is a Asaon for all men. Stanley, to begin with, is not much of a politician. It is admitted on all sides that he lacks that adroit duplicity in dealing with men and measures which goes by the name of 'political sense.' Stanley is just a plainspoken, common, straight forward sort of a mam who frets an idea that a man or a measure is risrht and then in a perfectly simple, old-fashioned, industrious way tries to help it. He has no press agent. His eyes are never on the grand stand. The secret of his strength is work. Stanley has succeeded as governor of Kansas better than any other man occupying the offic for a dozen years. He has succeeded by ignoring politics, and running the office as a business man. Ren ember the scandals of the Leedy administration, the lamentable weakness of the Lewel llng administration, and the frailties of the other state administrations of re cent years, and then contrast them with Stanley's work: Not a scandal, not an irregularity, not a complaint; nothing to apologize for; nothing to ex plain; everything clean, open and above board; 'everything square and true. This has been going on for four years. The politicians, many of them, dislike Stan ley. He has not always used antiseptic language of diplomacy with them. He has called a spade a spade and a cheat a liar. But the people know Stanley. They like him. There is a big unwieldy background sentiment among people who don't talk politics; who don't go to caucuses; who don't know about deals or the makers of deals. This sen, timent when it gets to bumping about the ship of state often knocks the agile sailors who "fit things' off their pins. How it does so no one knows. This is what the Stanley sentiment, the big tax paying business sentiment of Kan sas is doing now. It is for Stanley. The politicians can't understand it; they can feel it though, and they are controlled by it In spite of themertves. It is the sentiment ot the public grati tude to a plain, honest, fearless, mod est man for doiner TCanstaa n inirvtrtant service. And this sentiment, Repub lican to the core of it, is going to put Stanley In the United States senate." The Lawrence World takes much the same view of the situation. It says: "In the fight between Long and Curtis the third man will not be Calderhead or any 'other congressman. Gov. Stanley is getting more votes than any of the others. He is the dangerous man for both of the other candidates. This is not going to be a pony race by any means. It will be a light to the finish between giants. Calderhead has not made good on the advanced notices on his entrance into political life." The biggest political fight in Kansas this week is taking place in Wyan dotte county. It ia the fight over the Republican county ticket and county central committee. The county convention will be held Saturday and primaries to elect dele gates to the convention will be held tomorrow. The primaries are In charge of the executive committee of the coun ty central committee, and it is required that delegate tickets shall be filed. Each of the numerous factions in Wyandotte county has tickets in many precincts, and more than 1.200 names have been filed as candidates for delegates to the county convention. It is claimed that In some precincts there are more can didates than Republican votes have heretofore been cast. The executive committee with which the tickets have been filed, have been keeping them secret until within the last day or two. It is claimed that the fac tion which is in control of the committed has a slate which it proposes to run through, and all of the other factions' are planning to head it off, if they can find out which it is. Charges have al ready, been made that the committee has not put on the list some of the names which have been filed. Lawrence World: It Is apparent to even the most rabid partisan that it is time some action was taken on the Tom Kelly case. There is a point be yond which any party can trifle with the people. George E. Tucker, editor of the Eu reka Herald, was yesterday nominated for the legislature by the Republicans of Glenwood county. His position as to the senatorial fight is unknown. Tucker belongs to the extremely young crowd, but he has already proved him self a good politician, and he will not ba without experience In legislative mat ters, notwithstanding his youth. He was a Journal clerk in the house of 1899 and will therefore be' familiar with legis lative proceedings. He is a good pre siding officer, too. He started the Fourth district congressional convention at Emporia last spring, and did a better job ef it than the majority of those who are old hands at presiding over big conventions. Tucker is for E. W. Hoch for state printer, as Hoch is in this congressional district. The balance of the county ticket is as follows: Sher iff, William H. Henderson; clerk of dis trict court, John Redman; treasurer, G. A. Bower; county attorney, T. C. Turn er? register of deeds, George Boone; county superintendent. T. C. Peffer- county clerk, C. -IX Pritchard; probate judge, n. w. service; surveyor, C. C Huntington; coroner, J. Dillon; com missioner. First district. W. H. Dai ton. Since William Allen White went to Washington and got a promise front President Roosevelt to throw the first dirt in the excavation for Emporia's new public building on his western tour me coming fall, other towns have been planning to get a little manual labor ut ef the president. They would put ail sorts of jobs on him if possible. Ottawa people thought they wuld get him to become a stone mason.-temporarily and lay the oocner stone of the new Method ist church down there,, and fhey invited hfm to dorte. but .SecT tar v Cert elyou has replied that so many dates have al- ready made for trie-president's Itinerary hat it will be impossible for him to stop at Ottawa for that purpose. The Populists of the Thirtieth judicial district followed the action ot the Democrats- and yesterday nominated T. L Bond, of Salina, for district judge. Senator Burton will leave Abilene to morrow for San Francisco on his Ha waiian trip. He will be accomoanied by Mrs. Burton and they will sail from San Francisco on August 11. The fuslonists of Franklin county got together yesterday and nominated a ticket made up of eight Democrats and five Populists. It will go on the official ballot under the Democratic head. The ticket Is as follows: Treasurer, A. H. Slater; sheriff, S. P. Costinger; clerk, J. H. Bell; attorney, J. W. Deford: regis ter. XX G. Houston; probate judge, J. C. Collins; district clerk. R. B. Peddicord; superintendent, L. E. Rathburn; sur veyor, J. H. Titus; coroner. Dr. H. M. Lyle; legislature. West district, A.Dob son: East district, E. W. Hume; com missioner, E. M.' Sheldon.

Lewis.) -"Here ia a case," began Mr. Bowse? the other evening as he laid aside nig newspaper-r"here is a case where a woman ia Chicago lost her Jife by he coming confused on the street and be ing struck by a carriage. Forty-nine out of every fifty accidents occur through people losing their heads at a "A GREAT BIG LOAFER ON A BIKE STRUCK ME." critical moment. You have been very lucky thus far in escaping accidents, but I feel it my duty nevertheless to advise with you. It is through no fault of your own that you haven't been smashed up a dozen times over." "Why should I be smashed up?" ask ed Mrs. Bowser as she looked up from her book. "Because you are a woman and be cause a woman loses her nerve. the in stant she is. menaced by a danger. It wouldn't have surprised me any day in the last ten years to have heard that you were run over on the street. "Yon are just careless enough to walk in front of a trolley car." "How about your being careless enough to walk in front of a butcher cart?" she asked. "I never did it. The cart .turned a corner on me." "But you stepped off a car and was hit by a peddler's wagon." "Never! 1 I was crowded off a car, but the accident was no fault of mine." "Didn't you run for a car to be knock ed down by a bicycle?" "Never! I. was sauntering toward a car when a great big loafer on a bike wabbled around and struck out. Never have I had an accident through my own fault, while my coolness and calm ness have prevented hundreds through the fault of others. If I went blunder ing up and down as you do, trusting to bullhead luck, I'd be killed: inside of a week. When you take a car, do you ever think that a runaway team may jump over the front dashboard?" "I don't think I ever do," she ad mitted. I "Just like a woman, and yet such a thing ia quite likely to happen and to HB RUSHED DOWN STAIRS YELLING "FIRE!" cause the death of six or eight people in the front end of the car. Never ait in the front end of a car never. Sup pose you were walking along and the cry of 'Mad dog!' was raised, what would yeu dor" "I should probably look around for the dog." "Not a doubt of it, and thereby rail a victim to the brute. Should you ever hear that cry, you must dash for the nearest doorway at once. Bear this in mind whenever you are out, so as not to be taken by surprise. There is such a thing as the machinery of a trolley car becoming disabled and the car run. ning away. In such a case, were you a passenger, what would you do?" "I'd call for the police." "Very likely, and then run out and jump off and break your neck. The sensible way would be to shut your teeth, brace your feet and get a good grip with your hands, and if the car dashed into anything you'd escape In jury. When you are passing along the walk; does it ever occur- to you that buildings frequently collapse and kill half a dosen or more pedestrians?" "I don't believe it does." "Of course not It never does to any woman. She goes blundering along as if she was as safe as a dollar in a de posit vault. Always have one eye on the buildings, Mrs. Bowser, and at the first signal of danger leap for the mid die, of the street" -"But you were passing a building a few weeks ago and a brickbat fell down pa your head," she protested. "Why didn't you leap for the middle ol the street?;' "Because in. my coolness I observe that it was only the fall of a single brick instead of a general collapse," h( lamely replied. "Then a single brick is nothing?" "Pont "take, that tone with me, wo man! I am trying to beat a little sense into your head, and you ought to see it Suppose you were in a theater when the cry of fire was raised there with out me. What would you do?" t i- "I'd ask the person next to me where the fire was." r "Certainly you would, and you'd want to know when hia or her grand father died, -whether he or she had ever had measles or whooping cough, whether the lira was on the stage or in some factory a mile away, and I'd be lucky, to recover your charred bones. Yes, you'd be sure to fool around for ten or fifteen minutes instead of calm ly rising up at the first alarm and cool ly walking out. By George, but what an Idiot a woman is!" "I'm sorry," said Mrs. Bowser in con trite tones as Mr. Bowser got up and took a walk. "We will suppose a few cases -nearer home," he finally continued as he glar ed at the cat and fell into his chair. "You are sitting here alone, and yon hear a sudden fall down stairs. You run down and find the cook senseless on the floor, with her eyes rolled back and all her limbs rigid. What do you dor "I telephone for the doctor." "Yes; you monkey with the tele phone for a quarter of an hour to find that the doctor ia out, and when you return to- the kitchen the soul of the cook has passed away. Had you plaeed the dishpan under her head and dash ed water into her face she would have been up and at work in ten minutes." Mr. Bowser had a good deal more to say about coolness and calmness and presence of mind, and. Mrs. Bowser had had the tact to let him do his boasting undisputed, and when bed time came he was so well pleased with himself that he admitted she might al most cross the street without being knocked down by a car or blown up by dynamite. He didn't see the cat wink at herself or he might have suspected that a stone was being prepared for him to stub his toe against. He had been asleep for an hour, and the only noise to disturb the night were: the yeowls of a cat in the back yard look ing for a scrap, waen Mrs. Bowser shook him by the shoulder and softly said: v "I am not in the least excited, and of course you won't be, -hut I "thought it best to tell you that I smell smoke." "By thunder, so do I!" he exclaimed as he. sat up in. bed 'and sniffed and snuffed. f. "We will be calm very calm," she continued. "It may be that the whole lower part of th house is on fire, but if so" o t a "Of course it 'is!"1 he yelled as he leaped out of bed arid made frantic ef forts to pull on his trousers. "Run to the window and'shoat police and fire!" "Be calm, Mr. -Bowser be calm. Where do you think the fire caught?" "Good lands, woman! Fire! Fire! Fire! We shall be burned alive! Dash out the glass and yell-for your life!" "But we must not lose our presence of mind." He did, however. He "rushed down stairs yelling "Fire!" and he rushed out doors yelling "Police!" and it was not until three or four belated pedestrians had entered the house with him that he calmed down. When he finally faced Mrs. Bowser, her look was inno cence itself, and nothing could be more artless than her suggestion: "The cook must have put a lot of pa. per In the kitchen range." "Y e s," replied Mr. Bowser as he glared and gritted his teeth and mental. ly resolved that he would get even if it took a thousand years. BROTHER GARDNER'S WISDOM. (Copyright, 1902, by C. B. Lewis.)

Sentries at Shenandoah Couldn't Tell Who Fired. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 6. The sen tries on duty around camp and the. soldiers stationed at different parts of the town on provost guard duty re ported everything quiet during the night. Some of the guardsmen said they heard several shots during the night but could not locate them. Two companies of the Eighth regiment are on guard in the town. One is located at the eastern end wiTe last week's riot occurred and the other is at the southern section where the foreigners have been making trouble for the local police. There was a little disorder in Maha noy City late last night. A junk vender from Harrisburg, suspected of being a deputy, was set upon by a number of men. He escaped to the mountain and sought refuge with a colony of Rou manian Jews. Fearing an attack Isador Lubinski, one of the Hebrews, dashed down the mountain over an unfrequent ed road to get help from the Mahanoy City police. When he reached the town he was arrested for fast driving. He was fined and sent to jail. Later he paid the fine and made known to the authorities through an' interpreter the cause of his reckless driving. The fine was then remitted. The suspected dep uty was also placed in the jail for the night for safe keeping. JEWELL COUNTY COAL John Elliott Returns Prom New Fields and is Enthuiastic. John Elliott returned last night from Jewell county, where he went to inves tigate the coal found three miles and a half from Jewell City. The shaft is 166 feet deep. "I went into the shaft and measured the coal and it was 34 inches, and it is clear coal no shale or anything of the kind. While I was in the shaft there were five miners at work, and they take out three tons a day per man. I saw them take out one piece about 14 feet long, 4 feet wide and 34 inches thick. They have already taken out about 350 tons, and have 200 tons still on hand. The coal is of excellent quality. "The company has a lease on 320 acres and another and larger shaft is now be ing put down. I think that this Is one of the coming coal countries." The company is composed of Topeka nen.

Secretary of Treasury Starts the Vermont Campaign.' Manchester, Vt., Aug. 6. The political campaign in Vermont, which is considered an extraordinary one by reason of the bolting faction in the Republican party, headed by Percival W. Clement, contest ing against Gen. J. G. McCullough, the regular Republican nominee for governor, was opened here in Gen. MeCullough's be half last night. The chief speaker was Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, a native of the state, and he dealt entirely with national questions, largely that, of the tariff. Congressman J. G. Foster of this district presided and United States Attorney J. L. Martin of Brattelboro and Congressman Charles N. Fowler of New Jersey were the other speakers. Secretary Shaw in the opening reviewed the record of the Democratic party, say ing in this connection that the leaders of the party always appear to be in search of an issue which will appeal to voters and give them victory,- rather than mak ing an effort to formulate a policy under which they may be safely entrusted with the affairs of the nation. He said that the tariff issue is always resorted to by the Democratic party to provide an issue except in those years immediately following an experiment with tariff for revenue only. In those years, he said, they had been driven to other issues to bridge over the period between the date of their experiments and the forgetfulness of the American people. He doubted if the Democratic party or any member of it would today venture to predict what would be the paramount issue of the presidential campaign. Secretary Shaw then referred to the Democratic party's attitude towards free silver and the greenback issues, and, con tinuing, said that now the Democratic par ty lays' great stress on the trust question. It is iterated and reiterated that the tariff is the mother of trusts, and the Democracy aerain uromises reform. He referred to arguments advanced by both parties in 1882 and in succeeding campaigns until the McKinley bill was passed. Secretary Shaw said he was doubtful if anytarirr scneauie naa oeen aevisea satis factory in every particular to any person. The Republican party never attempts to defend a tariff schedule, but does defend the protective principle. It is probable, he said. that many items of the present sched ule should be modified, but no modifica tion would be made that would not still leave many Items in dispute. Wilson"s bill, passed in 1894, was so unsatisfactory that President Cleveland refused to sign it. The question is not whether there are in accuracies, inequalities or imperfections in the present law, but whethe- it is wise to attempt a revision at this time. It is idle to suppose that any revision would satis fy those who have no revision policy of their own. No policy of legislation, no for eign policy, no insular policy, no expan sion policy, no Philippine policy is or ever will be devised that will satisfy the oppo sition, i In concluding Mr. Shaw said: "Let the Republican party go forward doing that which it believes to be wisest for party and people. When this has been done and no concession made to Democrat ic clamor the people have never failed to vindicate the Republican party, the party of progress." They Thank Nichols. At a regular meeting of Topeka Typo graphical Union No. 121, held on Sun day, August 3, 1902, the following pre amble and resolution were adopted: Whereas, This Union views with great interest the proceedings that have been instituted in the courts to prevent the school book monoDOly, whose books are made by nonunion labor, from securing a firm hold upon the people of this state for five years; and Whereas. The action of the county attorney in this matter was largely within his discretion, and not a duty strictly 'enjoined by law; Resolved, That this Union extends its thanks to Galen Nichols, county attor ney of Shawnee county, for the interest he has taken in endeavoring to prevent the American Book company from doing business in this state, in behalf of the welfare of the people of Kansas, and especially of Union labor.

A test was made to find it just the leaving off of coffee alone would pro duce an equal -condition of health as when coffee is left off and Fostum Food Coffee used In its place. A man from Clinton, Wis., made the experiment. He says: "About a year ago I left off drinking coffee and tea and began to use Fostum. For several years previous my, system had been in wretched condition. I always had a thickly furred, bilious tongue1 and foul breath, often accompanied with severs headaches. I was troubled all the time with chronic constipation, so that I was morose in disposition and almost dis couraged. r At the" end of the first week after making the change from -coffee to Fostum I witnessed a marvelous change in myself. My once" coated tongue cleared off, my appetite increased, breath became sweet and the headaches ceased "entirely. On6 thing -1 wish to state emphatically, you have in Poetum a Virgin remedy for constipation, for I certainly had about the worst case ever known among mortals, .and. I am com pletely cured of it; J feel in every way like a new person. During: the last summer I concluded that. I would experiment to see if the Postum, kept me in good shape or whether I had gotten well from just leaving off coffee. So I quit Postum for quite a time and drank cocoa and water. I found out before two weeks were past that something was wrong and I began to et costive as of old. It was evident the Over was not working properly, so I became convinced it was not the avoidance of coffee alone that cured me, -but the great value caioe- Xrocn the regnfe use of Postum." sity from Lecompton. Proposals were received from several cities desirous of securing the United Brethren school. No definite action was taken at this meeting. The committee meeting was executive and the transactions of the committee are to be kept secret if pos sible.

TOPEKA SNAKE STORY. John C. Payne Relates Strange Ex- i perience on Kill Creek. John C. Payne, of B. M. Payne Co., tells the best snake story of the sea son, and if there are any who care to question the facts they may have their minds put at rest by applying to Mr. Payne, who is ready to make affidavit that the story is true. Mr. Payne spent .a week camping on Mill creek at what la known as The Falls. He enjoys fishing and this place is famous for its fish. Mr. Payne stretched a trot line across the creek and used his pole, besides. Time after time he found the trot line stripped of its bait, but there never was a fish on any of the hooks. "I thought it strange," satd Mr. Payne, "and decided to watch the line. Imagine my amazement to see a large snake crawl onto the trot line from the bank and coiling himself around the line start across the creek. -Naturally I became very milch Interested in his snakeship. He moved slowly along the line until be came to a 'staging,' and then down went his head into the water. In a little while 'Up be came and went on to the next staging. Again down went fais bead, and this operation was repeated until he had run. the whole line stopping at every staging. After the snake -left the line L. tried to bit Ua with my flub pole, but he glided into a J pile of driftwood. I then lifted the trot line out of tJe water and all the bait was gone. The-snake had been running the line and eating the bait, and Judg ing from his size he was thriving on the diet. "I sat down on the bank and began to fish, wondering whether I would see the snake again. I sat there half an hour, when t chanced to glance into the wii low tree overhead, and there was the snake coiled around a limb only a few feet from my head.. I was startled, but when I recovered my- composure I struck at the snake, but he again escaped into the pile of driftwood, and for aught I know he is still running the trot lines of campers on Mill creek."
