Would Prevent Anti Resolu tions in Convention. STAMPEDE KEEPS UP. Republicans Continue to With draw Their Support. H. N. Gaines Won't Be Fusion Official Organ. The action of the Miami county Re publican convention last Saturday with reference to Thomas T. Kelly, Republi can nominee for state treasurer, and his embezzlements while county clerk of Miami county, is bringing out a demand from Republicans all over the state that something be done with reference to the Kelly matter. Unless something is speedily done it is probable that a large number of Republican papers over the state, whose editors believe in honesty in public-officials, will take down Kelly's name from the Republican ticket and refuse to give him even a passive sup port. T."e following is a comment by the Holtcn Recorder this "week: "It strikes us the Topeka Capital would be serving the interests of the Republican party better by making some satisfactory explanation ot Mr. iveiiy s alleged defalcation of county funds, provided a satisfactory explanation can be made, than by criticizing the State Journal's fight against the KepuDiican nominee for state treasurer. The Re corder has waited long and patiently for something on which to base a de fense of Mr. Kelly and some of these iays we may be forced to the conclus ion that there is no defense to be made and we will have to substitute a blank, for Mr. Kelly's name on the state tl-ket." Some of the Democrats of Miami county have been as active in the de fense of Mr. Kelly as the leading Re publicans have been in digging up bis official misdoings, but the rank and file of the Democrats now seem to have re volted against such action. A dispatch from Paola to the State Journal today Bnys: "T. T. Kelly, Republican nominee for state treasurer, came down from Kan sas City yesterday, presumably for the purpose of having his attorneys prepare the statement he has promised should be forthcoming, and incidentally to do a little missionary work among his Democratic followers. Seme of- the Democrats have concluded that it would be a good thing to follow the example set by the Republican convention held last Saturday, and adopt resolutions similar to those passed by the Repub licans, condemning Kelly and his meth ods. "The chairman of the Democratic county central committee, Henry Allen, who attended the Republican conven tion at Wichita in the capacity of a Kelly rooter, was defeated in his own ward for committeeman by an anti Kelly man, the vote standing 21 to 9. Allen was an open and avowed candi date for re-election to the office of chairman of the Democratic county cen tral committee, but this decisive vote eliminates him as a future factor in local Democratic politics. "Prominent Democrats say that If he desired to go to Wichita in Kelly's in terest, after being thoroughly acquaint ed with Kelly's record, the least he could have done was to resign his position as chairman and go in the capacity of a private citizen. They say that by pur suing the course he did he proved him self wholly unworthy of the trust re posed in him, and they took this, their first opportunity, to turn him down." It is stated that Mr. Kelly will pre pare a statement which will be "satis factory to his friends." Isn't it rather peculiar that a candidate for the most responsible position of trust In the state should find it necessary to satisfy those who are friendly to him with re gard to. his honesty .as an official. The Leavenworth Times puts it this way: "Tom Kelly writes to Frank Grimes from Kansas City that he will make a statement of the Miami countv trouble which will be satisfactory to his friends. That is not the point. Tom should try to satisfy his enemies. His friends are not making any fight on him, it is his enemies." H. N. Gaines, editor of the Farmer's lAdvocate, has withdrawn bis support from the fusion ticket and the Popu lists are now without a state organ. The action of Gaines is seemingly the out come of his trouble with John Curran. secretary of the Populist state central committee, which culminated in Curran thrashing Gaines. Gaines was a candi date for secretary of the committee in opposition to Curran but was defeated. He says that henceforth he will publish a farm paper instead of a political one. The Advocate was started with the Farmer's Alliance more than ten years ago as the official orjan of isat organi zation, and when the alliance became the Populist party It naturally became the official party organ. It gained an extremely large circulation all over the country, and was at one time edited by Senator Peffer. During the Leedy ad- ministration it was the official state pa per and was quite prosperous. It was them owned by George B. Harrison, but after it lost Its official patronage It went down. A year ago it was purchas s ed by Mr. Gaines who revived It some what, but now be declares that he has cut loose from politics and will build up en Independent farm paper. He says editorially: "With this issue this paper ceases to be political and the Democratic ticket is removed from the head of our edito Mai page. It has long been the desire of the publisher to build up in Kansas a cistlnctively farm paper, devoted to the agricultural and stock interests of the state. Our present decision has been hastened by reason of the action of the recent People's party convention in this state, which, through the efforts of .mer canary leaders, decided that the People's party should no longer be a factor in the state and that its adherents should be carried en masse into the Demo cratic party. This paper has stood res olutely against fusion. It has stood par ticularly against Democracy of the kind that is now in control of that party in the state. It can see no difference, as far as the Interests of the agricultural classes are concerned, whether the Re publicans or the Democrats triumph. Neither will further the principles of true Populism. This paper declines to xurtner stultify Itself bv even an ac -4 quiescent support of that In which It cobs not really believe.v and every aci of the present Democratic committee Since its organization has been upon tfa theory that Populists can be brow. beaten or cajoled Into the support of that ticket. The demoralization of the People's party organization is manifest in the fact that A. M. Harvey, its treas urer, is openly in the employ of the American Book company", and John Curran, its secretary, is his and the book company's friend. "In our efforts to build up an inde pendent paper, devoted to the best in terests of the producers of the state, we ask the cordial, earnest support of those who have heretofore been the pa trons and friends of the paper and also of all others who are interested in the development of this, the state's greatest interest." TheColumbus Daily Courier puts the picture of Congressman Curtis at the masthead and espouses his candidacy for United States senator. The fusionists of Ottawa county can raise the cry of imperialism against the Republicans in that county this year. The Republicans have put two Kings on the county ticket. Ono is John L King, candidate for representa tive, and the other is James W. King, candidate for clerk of the district co'Ji i. Both served in the Twentieth Kansas. The Cloud county Republican conven tion yesterday nominated C. N. Peck for representative and endorsed the can didacy of Congressman Calderhead for United States senator. Mr. Peck is a Concordia attorney. He will doubtless follow the endorsement of the conven tion as long as Mr. Calderhead Is In the race, but If Calderhead drops out it i3 doubtful now who Peck will be for. A close friend of Mr. Peck said Peck told him a few days ago that he had no choice for senator at that time and would follow the best interests of Cloud county when it came time to vote on the senatorial question. Mr. Peck was nominated by acclamation. George Rig by was a candidate against him in the primaries, but Rigby's name was not I presented to the convention. Walter G. Reid was nominated for register of deeds by the Cloud county Republicans. He has been bookkeeper in the state treasurer's offic for the past four vears. The balance of the Cloud county ticket is as follpws: County attorney. W. Sturgis. Jr.; superintendent. Miss Julia Stone; pro bate judge. C. P. Smith; clerk of the district court, A. Fortney; county clerk, E. J. Alexander; county treasurer, J. E. Wade; sheriff. C. E. Graham: coroner. Dr. G. A. rfelson. The resolutions en dorse the state and national adminis trations. Senator Burton and the cadi- dacy of Calderhead for United States senator. George A. Clark, secretary of state and candidate for state printer, is principal owner of the Concordia Blade and Empire and Wanted the convention to endorse him for state printer, but E. W. Hoch had friends in the convention who tried to run in a resolution endors ing Hoch. The result was that the Hoch resolution was voted down and no en dorsement was made in the state print er question. Congresman Calderhead has recommend ed J. B. Callen to be postmaster at Junc tion City to succeed W. H. Mackey, who becomes United States marshal. Mr. Cal len is at present county treasurer of Geary county. Captain John K. Wright was a candidate for the appointment and Mr. Calderhead had to make a choice between him and Callen. State Librarian James L. King is pre paring a political handbook for the Repub lican state committee. It will deal with state issues from a Republican standpoint. The Emporia Gazette of last evening makes a vigorous demand that charges against Thomas T. Kelly, Republican nominee for state treasurer, be immed iately cleared up in a satisfactory man ner'or Kelly's name will be taken from the Gaztlte's ticket- The Gazette says that It has been waiting for this ex planation ever since the Republican stats convention, but it has not been forthcoming, and it cannot afford to keep Silent longer unless a satisfactory explanation is made. The Gazette says editorially: "The Populist paper in Lyon -county is making pretty tough sliding for the Gazette by calling attention to the fact that this paper is supporting Thomas T. Kelly for state treasurer on the Repub lican ticket. Kelly it appears is a thief and an embezzler and on different oc casions in the ninety days last past has returned $1,300 to Miami county that he stole from the county when he was county clerk. The Gazette has always stood for fairness and decency in poli tics and naturally the Emporia Times accuses the Gazette of hypocrisy. "The Gazette was informed that Sen ator Burton who stood as Kelly's spon ser at the Wichita state convention knew the facts In the case and would see to it that Kelly, who is Burton's particular friend, would explain the charges adequately. They are serious specific charges and the time has passed too long now in silence on Kelly's part. The Gazette which has been in clined to suspect Burton and his friends too much perhaps, concluded in this one case to hold Its peace and wait for the Burton people to explain. Kelly has been in the hospital and is there now and there is some excuse for the delay. If Welly can not explain absolutely why a Republican board of examiners and a Republican county convention at his home town ha'e branded him a thief, he must not receive Republican votes as state treasurer. The Gazette defended Kelly immediately after the state con vention, because a conspiracy seemed to be upon him. But later facts have come out which make tbe conspiracy theory absurd. Kelly must tell the people why he returned monev to the county which he was accuse! o" stealing. Lyon coun ty is a small prrt of Kansas, and tie Gazette has small influence beyond the Lyon county borders. But if Kelly does not explain and that right soon, his name must come down from the head of this paper. Every day the Ga zette supports a thief on the state ticket, the paper loses the confidence of the voters when it talks about fair clean politics in county matters. Lyon county siiall not go Populist even if the Burton people do insist on Kelly's stay ing on the state ticket. Unless he ex plains fully and fairly and adequately down goes his" name from te Ga zette." TERRIFIC TORNADO. One is Reported From Yalley of the Niobrara. Hemingford, Neb., Aug. 22. A tor nado, accompanied by a terrific rain and hail storm, last night passed along the Niobrara river north of here, through a thickly settled country and is thought to have done a great amount of damage. Owing to a lack of com munication details are lacking. It is known, however, that a number of res idences and other buildings in the path of the storm were demolished. Temperatures of Large Cities.

One of Recent Date Supposed r Written hj Win. Bartholin. Addressed to "Friend George' and Asking a Meeting. NOTHING BUT A BEAST. Murdered Woman's Estimate of Her Son's Character. Said She Believed Him Capable of Any Crime. Chicago, Aug. 22. The police today sent broadcast circulars containing a more recent picture of Wm. Bartholin, who is wanted for the alleged murder of his mother, Mrs. Anne Bartholin, and his sweetheart, Minnie Mitchell. Little light was shed on the mystery today. A new letter, supposed to have been written by Bartholin, was found today at 119th street and Michigan avenue. It bore the date of August 8, and was ad dressed to "Friend George," asking that the friend meet Bartholin at the latter's home. Edward Couhselman, Bartholin's in timate friend, was today removed to the county jail, where Inspector Hunt made several fruitless efforts to induce him to talk. Counselman was greatly agitated and cried frequently, but would confess to nothing. The coroner's jury at the inquest over the body of Mrs. Anne Bartholin brought in a verdict recommending that her son, William Bartholin, be arrested and held as principal for her murder, and that Oscar Thompson and Edward Counselman, who are under arrest, ac cused of complicity in the murder of Minnie Mitchell, be held to the grand jury as accessories to the crime. The jury found that Mrs. Bartholin came to her death on or about July 7, death being by strangulation. During the inquest Mrs. May Brown, a former neighbor of Mrs. Bartholin, testified that the old lady was sus picious and lived in deadly fear of her son. According to Mrs. Brown's testi mony Mrs. Bartholin in a conversation a few days before her death had told the witness that young Bartholin was noihing but a beast, and that the Mit chell family would regret the day they allowed Minnie Mitchell to have any thing to do with him. Mrs. Bartholin in relating her troubles declared that Bar tholin was a dissipated ne'er-do-well, and that she believed him capable of almost any crime. STILL MORE RAIN. Nearly Half an Inch Fell Last Night. "Cider" Smith scored again on last night's rain which he included in his prediction from August 17 to 22. Last night's rain measured 40 hundredths of an inch in the government rain gauge. The corn and wheat region bulletin issued by Observer Jennings says: "The temperature was highest yester day in Brown county. The maximum temperature yesterday had fallen at all stations in the state except three, hav ing risen at Baker, Concordia and Man hattan, while the minimum tempera tures are slightly higher than yesterday morning at most stations. Rainfall is reported from all stations except Fort Scott, the heaviest at McPherson. The temperature has fallen in all districts except the Minneapolis, where it is sta tionary. Fair rains have fallen in the Omaha, and lighter rains in the other districts, except the Indianapolis." The maximum and minimum tempera tures and the rainfall for the Kansas stations for Thursday are reported as follows Rain Stations. Max. Min. fall.

Edward Remington Doubts That His Brother Suicided. Williamsport, Pa., Aug. 22. It is re ported from an authoritative source that Edward P. Remington is not satisfied that his brother Robert died by his own hand- When it became known that he was entertaining a suspicion of foul play, which originated before he left Newport with the body, an Associated Press representative called on Mr. Rem ington and requested a statement. He replied that he would neither deny nor affirm anything relative to his brother's death except that the autopsy revealed that the bullet in the mouth caused deah. When asked if the bullet found Imbedded in the dead man's brain fitted the revolver found by his side, ho declared that he had nothing further to say. Asked if any developments In the case could be expected, he said tin e alone could tell. Mr. Remington and his attorney, Seth T. McCormick, as well as the physicians who performed the autopsy, were to gether in secret conference, and their action is surrounded by much mystery. They positively refuse to give out any further information. Corbstt at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Aug. 22. Young Corbett. with his manager and trainers, arrived today and took quarters temporarily in a hotel. In the afternoon he werit to look for training quarters. It is proba ble he will choose the place on Price Hill where Jeffries was in training for the fight whicb was enjoined here. REPUBLICAN WORK ROOMS. Committee Will Move to Larger Quarters Tonight. The headquarters of the Republican state central committee will be' moved tonight from the Copeland hotel to -the building immediately east of the Cope land, which was occupied by the com mittee two years ago. The building is a dwelling house but is well adapted for the work of the committee. The active work of the committee will be pushed from now on and it is neces sary to have more room than was af forded in the room, occupied in the Copeland. Secretary Raney and T. S. Stover, who will be in charge of the oratorical bureau, are both here, and will assist Chairman Albaugh in the de tail work at headquarters. Prepara tions are being made. too. to send out considerable political literature from now on. A SHOT AT TRUSTS Is Taken by the Transmissis sippi Commercial Congress. St. Paul, Aug. 22. Although yester day's discussion of the trust question and the later action of the resolutions committee in ignoring the question had been regarded as the end of considera tion of that problem befpre the Trans mississippi commercial congress, such prove I not to be the case. When the congress was called to order today for the closing session, J. A. Gardner of St. Lcuis, secured the floor and moved the adoption of resolutions which he pre sented. These slightly differed from the Wetniore resolutions of earlier discus sion and preeipitated-another lively de bate. Th point of the discussion was more whether the proposition would be generally looked on as partisan action by the congress than von the merits of the case. Little of importance has been left over, for the closing session so the attendance was small but the warmth of the debate made up for thst. A vote was finally reached before H o'clock and by a vote of 20 to 19 the resolutions were adopted as follows: "Where.is, The trust system has been and is s. menace to our Republican in stitutions, and "Whereas, If allowed to continue to form combinations in restraint of trade and the elimination of competition, the wealth o'. the entire country will be con centrated in the hands of a few, and 'Whereas, The said combinations are calculated to destroy the hope anl am bition of the youth of the count-y, it being well understood that the ambition and hope of the young men of this nation- have-made-it great; therefore be :t "Resolved, By this congress that the president, of. the United. States be re spectfully urged to use all the power vested in his office to the end that the growing' power and the influence i,t the trusts may be destroyed, and be it f ur- thet f 'Resolved, That if in the wisdom of the national congress the laws new cm the statute books are insufficient to sup press this growing evil, that other more stringent and- efficient laws be speedily enactea." HORTON IS BETTER. Distinguished Judge Shows Wonderful Recuperation. Ex-Chief Justice A. H. Horton is apparently much improved and his re turn to his old home and the breath of the Kansas ozone seem -to have given him strength.- He seemed better this morning than he has been since before he left Wisconsin, and his friends have great hopes. When is friends started from the Wisconsin resort with him in B. P. Waggeners private car the greatest fears were expressed, but notwithstand ing a number of irritating delays he survived, and the familiar sights of his old home and the atmosphere of the state which he helped to build and in whichlhe climbed the ladderof fame.have brought him renewed strength in such a degree that- his friends and relatives have taken new hope. This morning, after passing a com paratively restful night. Judge Horton took his breakfast with more relish than for some time past. At 11 o'clock today Dr. Mulvane said: "Judge Horton rested quite comfort ably during the night and seems to have gained strength. He called for his breakfast this morning and ate it with relist."

Taylor, a retired business man of this city, and assaulted Mrs. Taylor, who is nearly 60 years of agei Mrs. Taylor walked to a store several blocks away and told of the crime. The Taylors reside in a suburban home, several hundred yards from any other house, and the victim of the negro was alone when he entered. He threatened to cut Mrs. Taylor's throat if she made an cutcry. He again threatened her when he left, and it was half an hour before she left home to give the alarm. The negro ran from the house in a southerly direction, and was pursued by two posses of men. headed by the sheriff and the chief of police, respec tively. At 8 o'clock a negro named Joseph Scott who lives in Kansas City, was ar rested in East Fort Scott and was im mediately taken to the new county Jail, where a large crowd gathered.

Man Spent a Day on Masthead While They Waited for Him. New Orleans, Aug. 22. The tug Pen. noyer has brought into Biloxl a Nor wegian named Oscar, who was rescued from the wreck of a boat named the Fan, belonging to Mrs. Blake, a board ing house keeper, and used to carry passengers from Biloxl to Ship island.

Miss Rose Kennedy, who was former ly employed at the State Reform school, was in Topeka yesterday and authorized a denial of the statement that she was discharged from the force at the school. She confirms the statement that the boys at the school were not given enough to eat. She called Superintend ent Charles to see the boys when tbey complained of being ill-fed, and he or dered them fed. Superintendent Charles denied to a reporter for the State Journal that Miss Kennedy had ever made any complaint to him con cerning the way in whicb the boys were fed. Some of the officers at the school as sert positively that Miss Kennedy, while she was permitted to resign, was to all intents discharged. She wanted to go to Hot Springs with her brother who was sick, and Charles objected, they say. This forced her to resign in order to carry out her plan. Miss Kennedy's statement follows: "To the Editor of the State Journal: "Whoever made the statement that Miss Rose Kennedy was discharged from the boys' industrial school, told a dvliberat? ialsehood. It is also ur.true about my l'nlng up the boys and taking them to Siperlntendent Charles, saying I would rot work them unless they hsrl more to eat.

COST SI, BO 0,0 00. Expense of the Anthracite Cost Companies to Date In Employing Armed Guards for Their Property. POLICE NUMBER 5,000. These Receive Per Diem Be sides Board and Lodging. State Charges $4 Each for Their Commissions. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 22. It is esti mated that the coal and iron policemen now guarding the idle collieries in four counties of the anthracite region num ber 6,000. The employment of so many special guards has necessitated an ex- penditure by the companies to date of $1,800,000. Besides paying the special policemen a dally wage, the companies supply them with food and lodging. Every coal company in the anthracite district and nearly every vashery has its quota of police. The commissions are all granted by Governor Sto-ie at Har- risburg and cost the companies $4 for the granting and recording of each com mission. Of this sum $2 goes to the state and $2 to the county. The Butler washerv and the Dodge colliery of the D. L W. company, in which operations had recently been re sumed, were closed today by striking miners. At the Butler washery the men marched out In a bodv. It is asserted by the men that all through last night strikers in ambush kept up a continu-. ous fire on the washery and the shed in which the workmen slept. Not being afforded sufficient protection, the men say, they decided to suspend opera tions. Eighty workmen had been employed at the Dodge" colliery and the strikers preyailed upon them to leave 'the work ings. 3 NEGROES KILLED. Eight Others in Jail as Result of Stealing Corn. Tupelo, Miss., Aug. 22. A telegram was received here early today by Sheriff Long from Deputy Sheriff Sam Young at Shan Hon, asking that the sheriff come immedi- ately to that place. A report was current here that three negroes had been killed and that James Randolph, one of the best known citizens of the country, who had assisted in the arrest of other negroes, had been shot. Later in the day it was ascertained that Mr. Randolph had been -shot seriously. The trouble grew out of the stealing of some corn out of the Eubanks field, three miles west of Shannon by a negro named Daven port, who was caught in the act and made to pour the corn out of his sack. The fol lowing night the Messrs. Eubanks ent to the field to look out for thieves and on re turning were fired on by a squad of about 4b negroes, who were lined up alongside the road. None of the shots took effect. Messrs. Randolph, Rogers .and Barnett were deputized to arrest those implicated In the shooting and followed three negroes into Chickasaw county. The negroes bar ricaded themselves in a barn, armed with shotguns. When they refused to open the door or come out, the door was broken in and Randolph struck a match, when the negroes immediately opened fire on him, hitting him in the head and shoulder. The negroes ran out and oae of them was struck by the shots fired in the darkness. It was reported by the persons who came here from the vicinity that three negroes have been killed. Deputies brought to Jail eight negroes. Sheriff Ing has returned from Shannon and reports everything quiet. Special for Saturday. Eleven pounds choicest cane granu lated Bugar for 90c.

TOPEKA STATE JOUENAL, FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 22, -1902. SPORTjfJG-fiEnS. The Eastern Race Track Profits Are Enormous. Receipts of the Saratoga Asso ciation Made Public. IT PAYS $250,000 DEBT. Clars Up $60,000 in a Brief Season toy Privilege Sales. Showing of Amounts Handled by Prosperous Bookmakers. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 22. Few per Kns realize the profits of the racing tame on the metropolitan circuit in this pear of grace.; On Saturday evening, during the afterrdinner gossip in the mokin roomof the United States hotel. Secretary H. K.' Knapp startled the turfmen about him by declaring that the Saratoga association would be Dut of debt in ten days. On August Its liabilities were $250,000. Further talk threw so-ne light upon the much dis cussed cuestion as to the earning ca pacity of a New York race track. So far this season the Saratoga associa tion for the improvement of the breed horses has earned on an average of $55,-. 000 a. weak. This represented enormous receipts from the Western Union Telegraph companv for poolroom service through the United States and the daily fees of the layers in the ring and the admis. sion moneys, after running expenses are deducted. .On next Saturday, August 24, the wheels of the "Spa" racing mill will have ground out $258,000, $3,000 more than the amount required to-wipe off the indebtedness incurred in the cre ation of the new Saratoga. On a big stake day or a pleasant Saturday af ternoon ah average of $18,000 flows into the coffers presided over -by Treasurer Andrew Miller. Last Saturday, for in-P-ance, 15.660 persons passed through the turnstiles to the club house, the $3 lnclosures and the SO-cent field. That meant in the neighborhood of $30,000 In admissions. Other sources of income contributed proportionately. No better illustration of the magnitude of the game here is available than Joe Ull man's statement of his daily operations, tlllman is one of the very first line of layers. He handles over $125,000 a day, winning or losing, on an average, $25, 000. In the entire ring over $2,500,000 is generally handled. With clear' racing days during the final week the associa tion will clear up about $60,000 and have a surplus after paying its- debt and a 5 per cent, dividend to stockholders. -Thifc pleasant statement of offairs is grati fying to horsemen and all true well wishers of the turf. The revenue of the association does not go to the individual aggrandizement of its members, but directly into the, pockets of breeders and owners of high class thoroughbreds, the man develop ing the best horses, of course, coming in for the lion's share. This is in line ith the principle of the Saratoga as sociations policy. A notable fact h that President Wm. C. Whitney, Vice President- F. R. Hitchcock, Treasurer Andrew Miller and Secretary Harry K. Knapp contribute their time and labor without remuneration. Their recompense exists in the knowledge that Saratoga will some day be regard ed as the, greatest racing seat In all the world. Joe Cnma-ii handled a wonderful amount of money in the ring Tuesday afternoon and when his day's work was over he was winner of $63,000. He handled- $185,000 during the six races, and he kept the $63,000 as winnings. In the first race he took in $30,000 and quit winner of $7,000. In the second race he quit loser $4,000. after taking In $15,00ft on the race. The third event saw him handle $30,000, and of this amount $24, 600 was kept in the book. On the fourth event he again did a lively business, also handling $30,000 and coming out 821,000 to the good. In the last two races he did the best business of the day, taking in over $40,000 to each. He was $11,000 ahead on the fifth and $4,000 on the sixth. In the sixth race Ullman did not like Rossignola at first and stood to Jose $30,000 on her before he took in a cent on the others. Then he changed tactics and took in all the money he could get on San Andres straight and place, and also on Loone and Lee Kins. He also handled a lot of fWtssendln money. Green B. Morris was a very unhappy man after Gray Friar had won the rana union stakes, for he once had this colt and let him go. It seems that when he was offered with the rest of the yearlings from Mr. J. B. Fergu son's stud in Sheenshead bay last year, Mr. W. P. Burch. trainer for Mr F Tf Hitchcock, and Mr. Morris were bidders for him. Burch retired after an offer of $2,0OO-and Morris secured him by bid ding another $100. Burch took such a iiKing to tne youngster that he after wards offered Morris $2,500 for the colt, which was accepted by Morris. Gray Friar did not start until this meeting finu in pis inree races Here has been first in two and second in the other one. i Racing at Readville.

The last race was another trot for the 2:21 Class, seven horses starting, Wilton Boy winning In one, two, three order. MEXICAN IN GOOD SHAPE.; High-Priced Colt Recovers From At tack of Lameness in a Leg. Saratoga Springs, N. Yi, Aug. 22. Mexican, the colt for which R. T. Wil son, Jr., paid $20,000 at the Mackay sale, has recovered from his lameness. The youngster worked five furlongs today in 1:08, and when he pulled up showed no evidence of an infirmity. When- the son of Mirthful was found to be lame the day after his purchase it was feared that he would not be able to race for some time. The discovery came as a surprise to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Healey, his trainer. The colt had not been ex amined before the sale.as it was thought he was perfectly sound. Mr. Healey nursed the colt along during the past week and this morning there was no sign of lameness. He decided to work him, and in the afternoon he appeared on the track after the second race, ac companied by a stable companion. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Healey were at the judges' stand and they -watched the movements of the colt with much in terest. The pair cantered over to the five-eighths pole and then broke.- They breezed to the wire in 1:08, and Mexi can pulled up in good shape. He can tered over to Horse Haven at a lively clip, and as he passed through the pad dock there was no sign of lameness. After the colt had been cooled out Mr. Healey said he was all right and ap peared to feel confident that he would race soon.' ATTELL TO BOX ABEL. Pacific. Coast Feather Weight -Will Show in Chicago For First Time. Chicago, August 22.Abe Atr tell, the San Francsico feather weight, who is conceded to be the fast est 4rlove wielder in the business and probably the peer of Jim Corbett or Young Griffo in this respect, has been matched for a contest to take place here against "Kid" Abel. The feather weights have signed- articles of agreement to meet in a six round contest at 123 pounds, weigh in at 2 o'clock, under the auspices of the American Athletic club Monday night. Attell is the 18-year-old boxer who succumbed to Benny Yanger's on slaughts in a terrific 19-round milt de cided at St. Louis about three months ago. Before he went down, however, he gave Yanger the most severe beating the undefeated local champion has ever endured in a contest. The bout was one of those bloodv affairs, and for ten rounds Yanger was unable to solve At tell s defense and the latter was cutting and jabbing Yanger's visage beyond all traces of recognition. After that per iod,, however, Yanger's great strength and gameness began to tell and he pull ed the chestnut out of the nre.- CRESCETJS' GOOD MILE. Champion Trotter Makes it in 2:04 1-4 in Season's First Start. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 22. Cresceus (2:024) stepped a wonderful mile here over the state fair grounds track, 'clip ping one-auarter of a second off the track record for trotters made by Nan cy Hanks in 1902. His time by quarters was as follows: 0:31, 1:02, 1:34, 2:04. Cresceus was forced to go against a bracing wind down the back stretch which had its effect. The mile, however, was well rated and the time a decided surprise considering It was his first start. He seems to have the stuff to reach the two minute mark if his im provement is as great as it has beeri since his preparation for racing began this summer. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, Aug. 22 The feature of yes terday's racing at Kinloch park was the fourth race, a handicap at six furlongs for 2-year-olds.

The platform, after a feeling refer ence to the death of McKinley, says: "We believe that in President Roose velt our party has found a worthy leader,' whose fearlessness in the dis charge of his duty, and whose devotion to the best interests of the whole coun try, prove him to be a worthy successor of his lamented predecessor, and the Republican party of Idaho extends to .president Roosevelt its nearty support. The protective tariff is endorsed with the following supplementary declara tions: "That many of the Industries of this country have outgrown their infancy and the American manufacturer has en tered the markets of the world and is successfully competing with the manu facturers of all other countries, we therefore favor a revision of the tariff without unreasonable delay which wiU place upon the free list every article and product controlled by any monopol and such other articles and products as are beyond the need of protection." On the trust question it says: "Resolved, that the formation of enormous overcapitalized corporations, commonly called trusts, for the purpose of concentrating all of the industries and products of the. country in the hands of a few men, stifling competi tion and enabling them to dictate the wages of labor and the prices of com modities to oth the 4. t and the DRY GOODS For Saturday Only A few more of those excep tional values in Summer Wash Goods, French Organ dies, Castilian Batistes, Fine Dimities, etc., worth up to 25c a yard One Lot at 35c yard One Lot at 5c yard Tapestry Portieres One lot to close we will sell at less than cost full 9 feet long by 54 inches l Q wide, good patterns Saturday, price each .Tw' 36-inch square Stand Covers, extra quality Fancy Printed Art Denims cloth and color war- Qr ranted Saturday, each.... ....JJ Bourette Skirting, in mixed colors Red, Blue, Grey and Tan a new, stylish, durable cloth for Skirts or Suits regular 35c values I Q Saturday, per yard ....I 5JV Ladies' Cream Summer Gauze Ribbed Union Suits sleeveless, knee lengths, sizes 4, 5, and 6 25c is the lowest figure these have While they last.

BUTTER TEST ENDS. Work of Inspection for the tT. S. ia Completed. Chicago, Aug. 22. Wm. D. Collyer, TJ. S. inspector of dairy exports, and Prof. G. Lt McKay, professor of dairy ing in the Iowa State Agricultural col lege will complete today the work of inspecting butter for the United States. Mr. Collyer decUned to say what his report would contain. Mr. Collyer and Prof. McKay for six months have been testing butter from all parts of the country On May 1 the first shipment of butter was received. After that shipments came every day and when the month had passed more than 600 buttermakers had sent their butter to Chicago for the test and every j month since then the dairymen sent zu pounds of their best butter to this city. "The butter is high class." said Mr. Collyer last night. "None of it is per- j feet, but one man's color was scored at 98, which is just two points oft." J The test for the butter was rigid.. The flavor counted 45 points, the body 25, color 15, salt 10 and the package 5. This is the first time that butter has been, scored in the United States. J. H. Van Dyke, a government chem ist, will be in Chicago tomorrow. He will take some of the butter to Wash ington where it will again be examined to see how much moisture it contains. Order Countermanded.

TOPEKA STATE JOUKSiUi-ffelDAY EVENING. AUGUST 22, 1902: RAILROAD NEWS. Santa Fe Claims That Competing Roads Violated Agreement. Was Forced to Cut Down Grain Kates. AN OFFICIAL TALKS. Says Santa Fe Tried to Keep Kates Up. Northwestern lines Will Be Drawn Into the War. Chicago, Aug. 22. Grain rates from the Missouri river territory have take a. tumble to the low level in effect prior to August 14. There has been an uneasy feeling in western railroad circles ever since the rates were advanced August 15 owing to reports that some of the roads were not acting in good faith: A' number of meetines for the investigation of the charges have been held since then, but each time assurances were given by the representatives of all the lines that the new rates were being flrjnly main tained. Positive information, however, was received here yesterday that some of the roads had failed to put the new rates in effect and thereupon the Santa Fe promptly gave notice that the rates in effect prior to August 14, both from the Missouri river and transmissouri territory would be continued. At a meeting held here July 8 It was agreed Shat- August 15 grain rates should be advanced as follows: From Missouri river to Chicago from 7 to 11 cents a hundred pounds, from the Mis ")uri river to the Mississippi river from to 8 cents, from the Missouri river to Gulf points from 12 to 15 cents. The reasons for taking this action are explained by a prominent official of the Santa Fe as follows: "This company promptly put the ad vance rates in effect August 14 and maintained them faithfully. On Friday, August 16. we received information that the Burlington had given notice that its rates would not be advanced until Aug ust 26. On Saturday this was confirm ed, but we were afterwards advised that the advanced rates would be pro tected. The Rock Island and other lines when informed of the Burlington's ac tion,, extended the old rates until Aug ust 28. At Monday's meeting it was re ported that the error had been correct ed. It transpired yesterday that nearly all of the Atchison's competitors were contracting grain at the old basis. Shipments which were to go over our road were sent east over competing lines on account of the lower rate they made. "We also found that the St. Louis and San Francisco had notified shippers that the old basis of rates would apply from transmissouri territory to gulf ports until September 1. As transmis souri territory is the section from which we expected to reap the greatest benefit we felt that the object of the advance had been largely defeated so far as our line was concerned, vet we were willing to keep ud the rates from the Missouri river, but in self-defense were finally compelled to go back to the old low rates from all points." While the reduction In rates from the Missouri river would not necessarily af fect the rates from the northwest, yet the lines from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago mean to meet the reduced rates. WILL IT HELP KANSAS P Hates to G. A. R. Encampment Cut to Cent a Mile in Northwest. Officers of the Grand Army of the Re public have succeeded in forcing the western roads to put down the rate to the encampment at Washington to 1 cent a mile. The eastern roads agreed to a 1-cent a mile rate, but the western roads in the money taken In for fares, round trip. It was rumored lately that some of the western roads had privately made contracts for the transportation of large posts from St. Paul and Min neapolis at 1 cent a mile. The Mil: waukee St. Paul, having become sat isfied that these, rumors had good foun dation, has given notice that it will make a 1-cent a mile rate. If this rate Is extended to other and Southwestern lines, as well as the north western, it will mean a good deal to the roads in the money taken in for farces, unless, as is claimed by the veterans, the cheaper rate brings out many thou sands of travelers who would stay at home if it is not put in. From the southwestern section Kan sas ranks high among the old soldier etates and it will send a large nuriber f delegates and visitors to the national encampment. The Santa Fe is arrang ing to handle this business as far east ward as Chicago. Nebraska and the Da kotas are also soldier states, and the Burlington, Rock Island. Northwestern. St. Paul. Great Western and othei lines are preparing to handle a large number of people. All of the territory named will be greatly affected by the 1-cent a mile rate, and the states east of the Missouri river will feel it only in a proportion less than these because the distance to Chicago is less. The Central Passenger association has not entirely settled some of the matters relating to the encampment rates, and there will be a meeting in Chicago next week to consider some of these. One of the unsettled questions is said to be an extension of the encampment rates, from Washington to New York for the purpose of allowing western visitors to go to the latter city after the meeting in .Washington. EARNED $83,000,000. Southern Pacific Report Shows Huge Annual Earnings. The annual report of the Southern Pacific, which will soon be Issued for the fiscal year will show gross earnings in round numbers of $83,000,000, which is an increase over the previous year of over $6,000,000. These figures are com piled by making an estimate of earn ings for June. The officials are of the firm belief that the Southern Pacific has entered upon a new era of preat prosperity.

The management Is taking every possible means to see that this develop ment is aided and promoted. Steps have been taken to colonize vast areas of productive land in Texas, Louisiana and California, and the country through which the tracks run is filling up fast It is largely because of this faith in the future of the Southern Pacific territory that the management decided, it is as serted, to make a bond issue of $100, 000,000. Of this amount, it Is said, fully $25,000,000 will be Issued at once with a view to making it available for improvements. 4 ROCK ISLAND WORK. Construction Progressing Rapidly on the Texas Lines. Fort Worthy Aug. 22. An official of the Rock Island today denied a report that the company would build to the gulf via Dallas, Tex. He said there had been delay over the organization of a construction company, which is to build the extension from this city to Gal veston, but meantime' options on right of way between Fort Worth and Dallas were being secured. Testerday four dif ferent tracks were secured by the right of way agents, -who have been in the field some weeks. It is. planned to have the extension completed by the con struction .company when the road is to be turned over to the Rock Island ready for operation. A large force of workmen is pushing the extension of the Choetaw, Oklahoma Gulf to Amarillo, Texas. There re mains only about 15 miles to complete the line between Memphis. Tenn., and Amarillo. The line will cross the Southern Kansas three miles east of Washburn. The Choctaw trains are now running Into Amarillo over the South ern Kansas and Fort Worth and Denver roads. HAD TWENTY SERVANTS. Wichita Beacon Tells of Supt. Hur ley' Visit to That Town; The Wichita Beacon says: General Superintendent Hurley of the Santa Fe railroad, arrived in the city at noon to day from the east by special train. He is making a trip of Inspection over all Santa Fe lines. Accompanying him was nearly a score of servants, besides his private secretary. Mr. Hurley's private car is a veritable traveling palace fitted out with everything for the comfort of its occupants. After spending several hours in the city looking over the' depot and the track facilities, Mr. Hurley left for the south without communication of any kind to the local officials or any one else. It has been known for some time that the Santa Fe has been contemplat ing some improvements at this point, among them the enlargement of the de pot and while the order for the im provements would not come directly from Mr. Hurley, he always inspects points in need of improvements and hands his decision down to inferior of ficials who execute his orders. ORDERS 400 NEW CARS. Santa Fe Gives a Big Order For Freight Equipment. Orders have been given by the Santa Fe for 200 flat cars of 80,000 pounds ca pacity and 200 oil tank cars of 9,500 gal lons capacity. F. W. Thompson Promoted. F. W. Thompson has been appointed general western agent in charge of the Pacific coast territory for the Rock Is land, with headquarters at San Fran cisco.

Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town ihe State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. If the Panama canal deal should fall through perhaps Nicaraguan hate will take he lead. Miss Stone will again expose herself to the brigands. Perhaps she regards herself now as immune. Automobiles may yet become a favor ite means of suicide, when the price reaches a more moderate figure. The report that Mr. Schwab's illness is due to the probable high price of fuel next winter is denied by those in the gentleman's confidence. It certainly does appear unfair to make an exception of Captain Carter when Gaynor, Greene, Rathbone and Neely ail are at large. The whisky distillers have on hand an enormous surplus on which the bonded period has nearly expired. Look out for a tremendous effort to have the tax reduced when congress reassembles. Philadelphia Record: The failure of last year's corn crop was the Beef Trust's excuse for dear beef; but we do not ob serve that the billion bushels of corn now impending in excess of the demand for home use have frightened the Trust a cent's worth. Washington Post: The prehistoric man whose skeleton' was found in Kan sas had a low sloping forehead, such as science, invariably associates with scant intellectuality. This is an interesting clue. It suffices to convince any Kansan that the man was not born in that im mediate vicinity. He was an immigrant from one of the adjacent states. If he had been native born he would have had the lofty brow which shows poetic imag ination, oratorical facility and the abil ity to keep a shrewd eye on the pro spective prices of corn. The Insurance business in England possesses the elements of gambling to a much greater extent than it does in this country from the fact that any body can get into the game. It is said that the English insurance companies do not require a medical examination of the person to be insured. They will issue a policy to any one on the life of any other person, provided the applicant will pay the price asked. And they in sure many things besides life. They have insured the voice of a singer, and the permanence of the gold filling of a tooth. And they will guarantee that the gate receipts of a cricket match or a football game will not fall below a cer tain sum. WHERE AMERICANS EXCEL. Labor conditions in the iron and steel Industries of the United States, in con trast with those in the United King dom and European countries generally, are discussed at great length by the commission appointed by the British Iron Trade association which recently visited the United States and thoroughly studied its great iron and steel manu facturing establishments. This com mission consisted of Mr.' J. S. Jeans Mr. Axel Sahlin, an expert m blast fur nace work; Mr. Ebenezer Parkes, whose special study was sheet and bar mill practice and Mr. Enoch James, who gave special attention to the steel in dustry. ine report or this commission, ac cording to some extracts which have reached the treasury bureau of sta tistics, points out that in the United States the iron and steel industries are face to. face with conditions that make both the dearest and cheapest labor at present to be found in the world the dearest in point of nominal remunera tion, and the cheapest In industrial and economic results. "The workmen at America i- mills," says, Mr. James In his share o the report, "are generally sup posed to be working much harder than they do in this country (England), but this isr not- my own view. After much conversation with many men in various branches who had been employed in cimilas works in England, and some of them subject to ray own control, the conclusion I have arrived at is that the American workmen do not work so Hard as the men in England. They have to be attentive in fruidlner onera- ttoas andr quick in manipulating levers ana similarly easy work. They are also awich. more desirous of getting out large quantities than in England. They are better paid and more regular In their attendance at the works, loss of tine through drinking habits or otherwise not being tolerated." Mr. Sahlin in his section of the re' port says that, the American workman generally aspires to the higher grades of labor, leaving the purely manual labor to workmen from other countries. "Thus it la." he says, "that around American blast furnaces the American is found in a very decided minority. He may be a foreman, master mechanic, blast engineer, locomotive driver, or stove tender, but he will nof work 84 hours per week shoveling ore or wheel ing scrap. For these duties are em ployed in the south the negroes, and at the northern furnace immigrants, mostly Irish, 8Iavs or Italians." On this question of higher grade work and higher grade wages of American work men, attention is called to the fact that in certain works Polish and Hungarian laborers were receiving $1 to ,1.6 per day, while American rollers -working alongside of them were receiving on the average $12 per day of eight hours. "The importance of the human fac tor," says the London 'Statist in sum marizing this report, "is fully realized by all the members of the commission. It is all very well to admire American plants, the ingenuity of machirte tools, the devices for saving labor and so forth, but, as Mr. Sahlin remarks in his special report, 'It is not the guns which win the battles but the men who stand behind them.' What the American ad mires and honors is the ability to do: that capacity in a man, through his own sagacity, nerve, enterprise, and skill, to create and employ a fortune. Nobody is above his work. Everybody works, and for the sake of work, and thus has been produced in .America within a generation an industrial poten tiality more wonderful and more to be feared than all the factories and ma chinery and 'plants' that these workers have created. It comes .to this, then, that American labor is not more effi cient, though it is better paid, than ours; and that American manufactur ing development is due to the persistent, unresting industry which once charac terized the Briton, but for which trade unionism and at letics have given an apparently growing distaste. All the reporters, however, seem struck with the strenuousness of American life. The comparative absence of a leisured class is noted as one of the prominent char acteristics of the principal cities and in dustrial centers of the United States. In the avenues of industry a man with out a regular business, or who is not concerned Jn the development of some industry, is as a fish out of water. No where, we are assured, is the struggling youth more kindly encouraged, more generously aided and more readily trusted than in America: and it is pleasant to read of an esprit du corps among works managers which, one would hardly expect to find in a land of such feverish competition." JAYHAWKER, JOTS. Coffeyville has an ice famine and beer and butter suffer alike. Sousa's band will be at the Strong City auditorium in September., An ordinary fist-fight at Great Bend means $5 and court coats to each of the combatants. Grouchy Halifax citizens have to con tend daily with a Sunshine Band of Mercy club. These moonlight nights insomnia is epidemic at Ottawa owing to the plague or noisy dogs: After a recent electrical storm a Minneapolis man picked up 132 dead sparrows in his yard. Ruin is staring Ottawa in the face. The city spends thirty-seven cents each day more than cornea in. Leavenworth's wealth and beauty turned out to view the new city ambu lance secured at a cost of $900. The merger has reached Hoxie. Two barber shops, a peanut stand and a soda fountain have become one. Junction City druc stores have had a falling off in trade since that circular rainbow around the sun appeared.

A certain Atchison man, la as unpop ular as a day's work. When people have nothing to do, it is because they wont do anything. A woman is usually willing to scrap a little with her husband, if no one hears her. In maklnar nlum 1am. leave -the pits in, and it will appear to the neighbors that you have put up more. z The Atchison bovs have discovered a new swimming hole on Deer creek that is over their head ana hands. How long is it since you saw a balky horse? Dumb brutes seem to be im proving as well as human beings. The first time a farmer brings a team of young mules to (own, he re gards it as taking bis life in his own hands.

The favorite loka in Kansas now 13 to pile your roasting ear cobs near the plate of the summer girl sitting next to you. We will admit that we are so grouchy we dislike above all else the person who has a professionally sun-shiny disposition. It doesn't really seem to make any difference if a girl can sing or not, so long as her father has money, and her mother thinks she can. Drake- Watson has a bust of Demos thenes. It became disgracefully dirty, so he painted it black, and now calls it Booker T. Washington. Milkmen work hard, as they never get to bed until 10 at night, and are always up at daylight, but they enjoy better health than those -who go. in for society. An Atchison eirl visiting in New York City overcame her environments recently' by giving an imitation of a Kansas wading party to sixteen girl guests, in a bath tub.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR fFrom the New York Press. 1 It is a poor fool that works all day. A bachelor learns a lot hv nrarnrUis' fco has never learned anything. After 60 most men seem to think a wo man is nothing more than a nurse. Just when a man gets accustomed to sleeping with a woman she wants him to get accustomed to sleeping alone. A woman is so naturally clever about some things that she can propose to a man and make other people think she is rejecting him. POINTERS FOR LAWYERS.

A provision in an Insurance policy. that if a policy holder, in case of for feiture for failure to pay assessments. shall afterward pay the amount due from him, the policy "shall be holding from the date of the receipt of said amount," is held In Johnston v. Phelps County Farmers' Mut. Ins. Co. (Neb.) 56 L. R.

McDill, inter national secretary, of Omaha, at which it was decided to reject all four of the plana submitted for the construction of the new railroad 7. M. C. A. building.

This is a jump of CI a ton since Wednesday. Coal stocks are so nearly depleted that even at this rate the gradually increas ing demand cannot be met. Fear of a failure to- settle the coal struce at an early date is the cause. Conservative dealers, however, are advising their cus tomers to hold off In the belief that coal mining must resume before exorbitant rates become general. MR MUDGE IS BACK.

TOPEKA STATE JOTnEtfAI FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 22'0 1003. 51 PILLSBURY'S CHANCE. Dense Fog Prerailg Along the Sew England Coast. Rockport, Mass., Aug. 22. The con trast in the conditions prevailing oft shore this morning and those of yester day were most marked and those par ticipating or watching the war maneu vers of the navy early today found things favorable to the squadron under Commander John E. Pillsbury, which is trying to make a landing on the New England coast between Portland, Me., and Provincetown, Mass.. while Rear Admiral Higginsop and his vessels de fend the seaboard. This morning a fog so thick that the water of the harbor could not be seen from naval headquar tars shrouded Cape Ann and the ad jacent ocean. Testerday for miles in the bright, clear atmosphere objects at lea could clearly be seen. When the sum came up today the at mosphere was as clear as it could be and extended observations were made from all signal and lookout stations Each reported that all was well and that there was no sign of the enemy. The receipt of these early messages in terrupted the quiet which had prevailed at the naval headquarters here since 2 a. m., unbroken save by one report re ceived from Portland, at 3:45 a. m. This report added that scout boats were sighted outside the harbor. It was not long after sunrise that the fog set in. It was a dense cloud and first impenetrable to the eye, beyond a distance of ten or a dozen feet. Just before 9 o'clock there were indications that the sun was burning through the oust on shore. -Aside from the fact that the Kear sarge.at least,was still at anchor off this place, little was ac;ally known here as to the positions of the various ships of Admiral liigginson's squadron. Scouts had been reported off Portland. The cruiser Brooklyn skirted the end of Cape Cod early in the forenoon and went across to Plymouth. Thus both ends of the line of defense were said to be well guarded and as the naval ex perts here felt reasonably sure that the Alabama, and Massachusetts were with the Kearsarge off Straitsmouth Point, the center was thought to be safe. The station keepers here have been advised that the lookout line has been extended to Sankaty Head on Nantucket, where the wireless telegraph station is located. Prom there all incoming vessels will be queried as to whether or not they have seen any of Comander Pillsbury's ships and the results of-these investigations will be signalled to the scout boats or the land stations. CAXEY HAS A GHOST. It Is Woman and She Dresses in Black. Caney, Kas., Aug. 22. For the last two weeks the northern part of this town has been visited by a woman dressed in black with a black veil. She is rather tall for a woman, something over six feet. She is slender. She has been seen by several citizens, but as yet only one person has been close enough to even speak to her. She ap pears to be of rather a timid nature and is so fleet of foot that the town's best sprinters cannot catch her. The one per son who claims to have met her says he had a long talk with her. About ten years ago a family passed through this place on its way to Okla homa, and camped on Cotton creek about five miles south in the Indian Territory. While in camp the baby took sick and died and was buried near the roadside,. A fence was built around the lonely grave", but time has destroyed, the fence and the little grave has been lost. This woman told this man she was the mother of the child and that she had been living In Iowa for several years, .where she died about two weeks ago. She told him, he said, that she would walk the streets of Caney until the people contributed a sufficient amount to have her child moved to the cemetery here. Then she would appea no more. Accidents come with distressing fre quency on the farm. Cuts, bruises, stings, sprains. Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil relieves the pain Instantly. Never safe without it.

"Lost in New York," the melodrama exhibited at the Crawford last night, had a few good features.

To the Editor of the State Journal: In yesterday's State Journal you men tioned my name in connection with Rev. J. H. Lathrop's convention, and spoke of my socialist street speeches and a thrashing by a Twentieth Kan sas soldier to tbe Philippines. I stated the facts about 3iy pounding on the street, and you published them then Two other papers published falsehoods about it, making me out an anarchist. I used my right of free speech to ad vocate public ownership and control of what the iublic need to use which is the only just and safe policy. Other statements about my mobbing are un truths, propagated by politicians op posed to socialism because it will de stroy the power of monopoly to rob the people legally. The mobbing was sup psed to stop my public exposition ot, the streets of Topeka. of the thievery of private monopoly. As to Rev. Lath rop's plebiscite movement. It is a wise thing to get yes or no from each voter as to what laws they desire. I know nothing of aiy stumping the state for the Allied Parties. E. A. SHANKLE. COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

"Where the Raging- Colorado Wends Its Way" is the title of a song that is said to be creating a sensation among music lovers in the east. The song was the work of a Denver man, and it is claimed that only recently did he dis cover that the Colorado river is not in the state of Colorado. The discovery was made, according to the story, when the publishing house of Boston sent an artist to Colorado to take a series of photographs of the Colorado river with which to illustrate the song for min strel troupes and other traveling aggre gations that are desirous of presenting the attraction. To the surprise of the Boston artist, he was obliged to con tinue his journey to Arizona to secure the pictures he desired. One of the rail road companies of Colorado is said to have subscribed liberally toward the publication of the song under the im pression that Colorado was the field to be advertised, whereas the scene of in terest is located 500 miles away.

This is the home of D. J. Hanna, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor. He has seen to it that the campaign in the Sixth district was enthusiastically open ed in Hill City. He secured W. J. Bailey,, candidate for governor, and J. R. Bur row, candidate for secretary of state, to come here and open the campaign, and this they have done. Notwithstanding the weather was insufferably hot, a large audience greeted the speakers. Burrow led off with a few timely re marks, stating that inasmuch as both the candidates for governor and lieuten ant governor are unmarried, that he (Burrow) was merely drafted into the service of chaperoning Bailey and Han na through the district, and to see that they get good treatment from the hear ers and especially the ladies. All of his words were to the point and well re ceived. This was Mr. Burrow's second political speech, the first, one being in Stockton Tuesday -evening. D. J. Hanna was called on, but Hill City having been his home since 1888. he gave way to Burrow and Bailey. In all earnestness Hanna made his first and only political speech in Stockton with Burrow and Bailey Tuesday, night, and everybody said it was good. Returning to his home in Hill City Wednesday noon, he was immediately drafted into service, for the fine brass band of the town, of which he is a mem ber, turned out and escorted the speak ers to the opera house, Hanna blowing his horn along with the rest of the members of the band. On the stage sat State Printer Mor gan and D. W. Little, assistant state superintendent, together with many of the leading Republicans of Graham countv. The mention of Bailey's name by the chairman was the signal for enthusi astic handclapping, in which the ladies joined. This was Bailey's first political speech in Hill City, and his hearers, who were friends of his in the Wichita con vention, comfortably filled the large opera house. Graham county was for him at Wichita, and they will be for him on election day. He spoke for up wards of two hours, touching on the most important questions of the cam paign, and devoted some time to an swering statements made by the fusion nominee for governor, W. H. Craddock. as recently circulated in the "Do Right' pamphlet, touching railroad assess ments in Kansas and Missouri and state affairs in general. The meeting was a decided success. Bailey, Burrow and Hanna will go from here to Hoxie, and from there to Colby, where they will meet State Sen ators Chas. Buschow and E. V. Peter son; E. E. Ames, national bank exam iner; State Printer W. T. Morgan; R. M. McGonigal, postmaster of Colby; Cy Anderson, ex-register of the Colby land office; D. W. Little, assistant state su perintendent, and Chas. C. Evans, reg ister of the Colby land office. From there they will tour the northwest part of the Sixth district, driving overland to Atwood. St. Francis and Goodland. This political Republican aggregation will be the largest and most enthusiastic that has ever taken a campaigning tour through the district. GREEN GOODS ROUND UP. Sen of SwindlersBroken Up by Fed eral Officers. New Tork, Aug. 22. What Is said to be the biggest round-up of green goods swindlers ever made by the federal au thorities in this city was announced to day. Five m?n and a woman were taken into custody and en entire green goods plant was captured. Four of the prisoners, Jos R. Baker, Elmer Brown, S Gottlieb and the iatter'3 wif were afested in Newark and George Brown and Thomas Henry were arrested in this city. According to Fostomee Inspector Michael Boyle he has secured as com plainant against the prisoners Antonio Caperess, a butcher of New Haven. Conn., who paid $300 in cash and re ceived green paper in return. Many complaints of green goods victims have reached (he postofflce recently and the ai.eged "plant" was located in Newark, after much work. Yesterday the in spectors saw a man come to the house in the company of Elmer Brown, the alleged "steerer" and followed by Baker who, it is said, was the trailer." The pair entered the house and later came out. The victim carried a minia ture trunk about ten inches long and four wide. The steerer took the vic tim to an express office whore the little trunk, which the victim thought con tained $5,000 in bills printed f rom stolen government plates, was shipped to New Haven. Then the inspectors placed the steerer" and tne trailer under arrest. The victim said he paid $300 for the sup posed money and was thunderstruck when the inspector secured the trunk and showed him it contained nothing but slips of green paper cut the size of bills. A few moments after Brown and Baker had been arrested the "nlant was raided and the Gottliebs were taken into custody. In the house all manner of green goods paraphernalia was found, circular letters, a dozen or more of the little trunks and piles of green paper. Henry and Brown were arrested last night at a ferry. All .the prisoners were arraigned today and held in $2,500 bail each. Aged Woman Starves to Death. Baltimore. Aug. 22. Mrs. Sarah Schu macher, aged 70 years, was found dead in her room late last night and her daughter Martha was wandering in a half-dazed condition about the lower floor of their home.

Martha Schumacher says she and her mother were too proud to tell any one of their impoverished condition and that neither had eaten for several days. It is said the Schumachers have well-to-do relatives at Philadel phia and in Virginia. Ill health had ren dered Martha, the sole support of her widowed mother, unable to work. Made Fast Auto Time.

Ninety-Nine of 105 Counties Grow Alfalfa. Alfalfa has been officially recognized in Kansas for an even dozen years, and during that time its popularity has steadily increased. Prior to 1890 it was not deemed of sufficient importance lo be taken notice of n the statistics of the state board of agriculture. Now, and for the first time, it has a larger acreage than any other tame grass, its area being over 458,000 acres, according to the sworn returns of assessors now being compiled and tabulated by Sec retary F. D. Coburn. The following, concerning the prog ress and growth of alfalfa in Kansas has been i.-epared by Secretary Coburn of the state board of agriculture: Timothy has been alfalfa s leading competitor in area until this year, when tne returns proclaim its nela is I3,b;i acres or 30 per cent smaller than that devoted to alfalfa. It is an interesting fact also that as early as the fourth year of alfalfa's statistical record (1894) its area exceeded by 24.000 acres that of the clovers for the same year, and each canvass since has shown an in creased difference in favor of the for mer. Indeed statistics indicate that for Kansas, alfalfa is being found superior, by those who have had experience with them, to timothy or clover. It not only is a perennial legume, of unusual pow ers of resistance tg protracted dry weather, as against timothy and the bi ennial clovers of less fortitude, but an nually yields from two to three times as much feed equally or more nutritious. and is a remarkable soil renovator be sides. These facts in large measure ac count for the marvelous increase in ap preciation and sowing of alfalfa, as dis closed by the figures. In 1891, of the tame grasses, alfalfa ranked fifth in area, with 34,384 acres; in 1902, first, with 458,493 acres, a gain of 424.109 acres, or 1233 per cent, and an increase over 1901 of 139,351 acres, or 43.66 per cent. From 1891 to 1897. inclusive. Finney led all other counties in acreage; in 1898, Butler was first with 12,029 acres; in 1899, Jewell forged ahead with 14,260 acres, which position has been retained with an increased area each year since, having In 1902 33,976 acres, which lacks but little of equaling the total for the state in 1891. In that year there were nine counties having 1,000 or more acres; this vear there are 68; in 1891 there was one county. Finney, having over 5,000 acres; now there are 32, fifteen of which have 10,000 acres and upwards. to 33.1i6 in Jewell. In 1801 these 15 counties had a total of 14.483 acres: in 1901, 159,282 acres, and in 1902 225,113 acres, a gain over last year of 65,830 acres, or 41 1-3 per cent, and an in crease in 12 years of 210,630 acres, or 14.54 per cent. This year the combined acre age of the 26 highest ranking counties surpasses the total for the entire state in 1901. 'Alfalfa can be grown in any county in the state, and 99 of the 105 report a greater or less area devoted to this wonderful plant. Eighty-four counties show a total gain of 142,504 acres; 16 lose 3,153 acres, and five make no change from last year. Among the counties showing the greatest gains in area for the year, and their per cents, are: Jewell, 11,982 acres, or 54.5 per cent; Smith, 7.052 acres, or 93.1 per cent: Re public, 7,063 acres, or 68.2 per cent; But ler, 5,982 acres, or 38.1 per cent; Marion, 5,087 acres, or 72.4 per cent: Norton. 4.- 950 acres, or 34 per cent: Decatur. 4, 253 acres, or 70.7 per cent: Greenwood, 3,994 acres, or 48 per cent: Phillips. 3.979 acres, or .43.5 per cent, and Sedgwick. 3,097 acres, or 36.9 per cent. Even more striking are the showings afforded by tne percentages or gain in area m the past year, in these counties: Cherokee, 716 per cent; Bourbon. 507 per cent: Johnson, 457 per cent; Anderson. 373 per cent; Neosho, 370 per cent; Allen, 337 per cent; Franklin. 327 per cent: etc. The following table shows, according to their rank, the present leading- 15 counties in alfalfa in Kansas, with their alfalfa acreage in 1902, and also in 1901 and 1891: 1902. 1901. 1891.

The statistics give indisputable evidence that under Kansas conditions alfalfa is proving to be the most valuable of her forage plants, which in no wise detracts from the well known merits of others, but empha size the desirability of extending its cul ture in a state where iive stock and meat production are chief factors of its prosper ity.

"BUTCH" THOMPSON. Famous Gambler, Formerly of Abilene, Leaves $500,000. Saratoga, N. T.. Aug. 21 The funeral of Charles H., or "Butch," Thompson, one of the wealthiest and' best known gamblers In the United States, was held yesterday. He had been an invalid for ten years, dating from an injury he re ceived from falling out of a wagon at Long Branch. As a result of that acci dent an abscess developed on the liver, for which he was operated on. Tubes had to be Inserted in the abdomen, and the condition of the man was such that the surgeons were never able to remove them. After a time Thompson was able to get about his business, "sand he per sisted in continuing the high living of which he was fond. This brought on cirrhosis of the liver. He came to Sara toga In June. Thompson was born In Norway about 63 years ago. He was a. butcher, ana came to the United States when 21 years old. He followed his trade in New York, Chicago and Omaha, and Anally enlisted in the regular army. He served during a part of the civil war, and at its close went with his regment .to the western frontier and served on the .plains for several rears.. i When his term expired he settled at Abilene, Kas.. where he; opened a butcher shop. During his -term in the army he learned how to play cards, and he took to gambling as readily as a duck to water. Soon after the butcher shop in Abilene was opened a poker game was started in the bacfc room." That was Thompson's start as a professional gambler. From that time until almost the tine of his death he had played on one side or the other of a gaming table in nearly every state of the union. He was one of the last gamblers- to leave the Kansas frontier and one of the men who longest held out against the mar shals. He was remarkablv reticent, and for a gambler unusually thrifty. He saved a fair proportion of his winnings and laid them by for a rainy day. For the past two or three years he had a sub stantial interest in the race track book of Leo Swatts. A few weeks ago he made a will, and it is known that he named as his ex ecutors Swatts and Swatts' cashier, D. W. Martin. Swatts said today that it was generally believed by those who knew him best that the value of Thomp son's estate would be not less than $500, 000. It is supposed that all of his wealth was in personal property, since it is not known that He owned any real estate. Those who should know say that Thompson was the wealthiest gambler in the world, with the exception of Rich ard A. L'anheld. His only relatives are two sisters liv ing in Minnesota and a half-sister in Norway. DEAD OR ALIVE. Citizens' Posse Will Capture a Band of Outlaws. Middlesboro, Aug. 22.

TODAlf'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago. Aug. 22. CORN Early trade in grains today was ragged and in corn was excited. The big bulge in Sepiember op tions yesterday made the shorts all the more frightened to get under cover today and that, with higher cables and only 6 cars grading contract out of 28 cars re- ceivea touay, prices look rapiu juuiiw. Longs who had good profits let the shorts have corn occasionally and the result was repeated kickbacks from top prices. Sep- temDer options were so nervous inai a uiu or a sale caused fluctuations of from c to lc. Ordinary conditions prevailed In the country. There was some rain in the west which still retarded the harvests, but in general the bears tried to calm the tone of the pit by the argument of big crops. September corn opeend lc higher, at 57!j58c, and fluctuated as follows, 59c. 58c, 57c, 57c, 57c. At the end of the first hour prices were near the last quo tation. Other options held a trifle firm. Late trading in corn indicated manipu lation at the hands of yesterday's buyers. Blackboard figures told a story of shake out for the little fellows who tailed after the bull clique at the opening. Prices had no regard for ordinary tendencies. After September had held for a time around 67c the holders let the shorts have a consider able quantity and the congested option broke to 55c. Then offerings dried up for a time and September rallied to 56c. Toward the close of the session the mar ket took on an aspect that indicated that the short interest had been eliminated. St. Louis had covered heavily all day, but the big houses here had unloaded as heavily. The close was steady and unchanged at 57o for September. WHEAT Wheat cables were higher, largely because of the reports of dry won thpr and exoected frosts in Argentina. Argentine shipments were only 128,000 bush els lor me WWK, as cumpeiieu w oou.vw bushels last year. The northwest was fair ly clear, but more rains were predicted. Grading was still almost nil and exports were nervous. September opened &c to i&lc higher, at 71(&72c. Profit taking and the relapse in corn from the morning s top prices brought a steadier feeling with prices for September wheat near 72c. Lo cal receipts -were 221 cars only cars of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 295 cars, making a total for the three points of 516 cars, against 398 cars la.t wpi- and 712 ears a vear ai;o. St. Louis was a good buyer for the short account. Minneepoiis, nowever, Drone iu its cash prices 2c under yesterday. This, together with the mid-session corn break, took all the advance from wheat. Septem ber broke to 70c and closed easy, fic off, at 71?ic nira Tints lost their streneth engen dered bv yesterday's short scare. Receipts were 174 cars, but the crowd was not in clined to bid orices up early. Iongs felt the tension and let go for profits. Trade was not heavy, but prices eased off after an early bulge In corn. September 'SVic down to HJic up. at 344'34?ic. dipped to 33c, and held a trifle above the low price. PROVISIONS There was eaily support in provisions and some strength developed from a higher hog market. Trade was not active, however, during the early hour and prices ea.3ed off from high figures.

B. Lewis.) Four weeks ago when a new tenant tooved Into room 228 and hung out sign of "California Lands I was anx ious to let the man know that I was an elevator boy of a willing and oblig ing disposition. He was named Thomp son. He had a bald head, a benign look and a fatherly smile, and I felt that we should be friends. Before bad got around to call on him he sent for me, and when I reached his room he shook bands with me and said: "Sammis, I have heard of you. You re a fatherless boy, I believe?" "Yes, sir, strictly fatherless." "And the sole support of a widowed mother?" "Xae sol support, sir. It la any ivages that ikeep up the- house,; pay the rtaxes,; square bur pew rent, and i-nable mother to put In the summer it Long Branch." "And there Is a mortgage en the iieuse? "A whopping big one, sir. It covers ill the front yard and a part of the Ueps. It makes me lop shouldered to carry the interest around in my pock et I dream of it by night and groan over it by, day." "Well, Sammis," continued Mr. Thompson as his smile grew softer, you have found one who will be a second father to you and extend a helping band. You need dream and Itroan no more. Just go right ahead ind be happy. I haven't time to say more Just at present, but you keep an eye on me and drop in again." I couldn't figure that I had made much out of Mr. .Thompson, but I I ried to be as happy as I could and waited a week for him to send for roe. As he didn't do it, I called on him again. I found four girls in his office. Some of them were reading novels and some chewing gum and looking out of the windows. "Ah, Sammis, my son, I am glad to ee you again," said Mr. Thompson as lie held out his hand. "I should have r.ent for you before if I hadn't been so rushed with business. You see that California lands are booming. If the boom continues, I shall have to get Iwo more girls before the week is out." "Yes, sir," I said. "And -about that mortgage don't worry, Sammis. Nothing affects a young boy's constitution so much as worrying over a mortgage. Just sing nd whistle and act as if there was no such thing as a mortgage on a widow's home. Are you smoking ciga rettes and playing the horse nowa days?" "No, sir. I haven't got any sugar to do it on." "That's bad, Sammis, and I sym pathize with you, but don't be dis couraged. Yeu may find a roll of bills in your elevator any day, you know, is the mother getting along all right?" "No, sir. Her old clothes are all worn out, and she can't see where she is to ;et any new ones." "I'm! I see. That's bad again, but there is an offset. If she hasn't any good clothes, she won't have to go to Long Branch this summer nor give any high teas at home. Speak of this to your mother, my sob, and cheer her up. Do you think you could make good use of a dollar, Sammis?" "I do, sir." "Then you shall have it seme day. Meanwhile there is a little matter I should like to talk over with you. Fa ther and son ought to have each oth er's confidence. You have mine, and I want yours. Yeu see that my business our business is rushing. It will probably continue to rush until there is no mere land in California to be sold. We are to be congratulated, Sam mis." "We are, sir," I said. "A wife ought to be satisfied when her husband is rushing business and making money, but some of them are not For instance" "Your wife may come down here some day?" "Exactly, Sammis. I see that yon are a boy who knows his business. Yes, her anxiety to see for herself how California lands are selling may bring her down here any day. In such an event I shall be glad to see her of course, but" "But it would Interrupt business," I said. I "That's it, Sammis; it would. Your penetration pleases me, and I am proud to be a father to you. If Mrs. Thompson, who Is an undersized woman with a sharp nose and snap ping eyes, should call some day and ask for me you will say that I am out for the day." "Yes, sir. You have gone over to New Jersey to look at a block of build ings. I understand." "Sammis, you are' a liar and a jewel!" he exclaimed as he took my hand. "I spoke of, giving you a dollar some day. It shall be two. Such genius as yours should be rewarded as It merits. Yes, you can discourage Mrs. Thompson from coming upstairs, and if she insists you can land her on the wrong floor and then notify me that she is gamboling about the build ing. I shall depend upon you to notify me without delay. Remember, a little woman with a sharp nose and snap ping eyes. She also bites off her words as she talks, and if you notice her hands you will see that she instinc tively doubles her fists in case an ar gument arises. Do you fully under stand, Sammis?" "Yes, sir. Anything more?" "Nothing more, my son, and you rosy now disappear. Keep on aa you hSve begun, and you'll own a skyscraper clear of all debt within five years." When I backed out of Mr. Thomp son's office, I realized that he was playing me for a soft mark, and the iron entered my soul. Nothing is more dangerous than to fool with an ele vator boy. The more humble he looks the more dangerous the fooling. I thirsted for revenge, but I didn't have to thirst long. The next day he got two more girls t help the others chew gum, and on the next as I was flirt; ing with a typewriter, Mrs. Thompson entered the vestibule and came, di rectly to my elevator. "Boy," said she, "is there anybody In this building who sella California lands?" "There is," I replied. ,"Is his name 'Thompson?" v "It is' v- "Then take me to his office." "But he's. -rushed with business, ma'am, he and his six girl clerks, and you'll put things out" "Oh, he's rushed, is he!" she snapped. "And he's got six girls to help on the rush! .J thought he was up to the old game again. '-Now, then, you take me right to his door and be quick about it if you want to save your hair!" I took her. up. She waited at the door to settle her hat on her head and 'NOW, THEN. YOU TAKE ME EIGHT TO HIS DOOR!" draw a long breath, and then she bounced in. In about fifteen seconds the six girls came bouncing out, one after another, and Mr. Thompson brought up the rear. He didn't get out however, He was pulled back inte the room, the door locked, and it was aa hour, later before he and his wife passed downstairs. His coat was tora up the back, his' collar and neck tie gone, and- there were scratches all over his face, and the little woman kept fast hold of his arm and bit off her words as she said: "Yes, business is rushing, and if you try to get away from me on the way home I'll make you think that every redwood tree in California has come down on you" Every boy-who is fatherless wants a new father, but when anybody comes around this skyscraper looking for a son who is easy to "work" he wants to beware ot v SAMMIS, The Elevator Boy. Brother Gardner's Remarks. "It am once agMn my painful dooty,' said Brother Gardner after the regular proceedings of the Limekiln club had been disposed of "it am once ag'in my painful dooty to speak to de members of die club in regard to de use of big words. It was ooly0 last night as I walked home from prayer meetin' along wid Waydown Bebee dat he keerlessly obsarved dat de eliminashun of de elucidashua appeared to. coerce de coherion of de gratificashun. What on airth he meant I can't say, but I knew he felt proud ober'his flow of language. A week ago I was in a feed store when Samuel Shin come in arter fodder for his old mewl. He didn't dun see me, an' as. he laid down. 30 cents he remarked dat de problematical disqualificashun had .werry much em barrassed de unexpected arsimilashun De feed store man didn't fall dead, but I don't know why he didn't Two days since, when Samuel Shin was axed if he believed de whale swallered Joner, he puffed out his chest an' re plied dat his perversity of de sinuosity led him to articulate to de pomposity. If yo' was to ax him what he meant ha couldn't tell yo'; but he's feelin' werry proud of them big words. "I ain't gwine to waste no time ober dis subject Mebbe de strangulashun of de reservashun exceeds de placidity of de impecuniosity, ant mebbe de gratificashun of de realizashun limits de verbosity of de paralysis. As to dis I can't say, but I do know, an' I gib de members of dis club fair warnin, dat if dar am any mo' concentrashun of de consequentiality around yere I shall purceed to eventuate de diagram of de monstrosity in a way to particu late de effervescence of de ardusity. We want nuffin but plain words, an words dat we kin all understan', an' from dis time on we shall eventuate de glorosity of de English language or maintain a consanguinity of calamitous configura- shun." James Returned. He had returned from his two weeks off looking much the better for it and as he entered the store the proprietor advanced and shook hands with him and gave him a warm welcome. The bookkeeper was puzzled and put out but only for a moment Then the pro prietor explained. i "James, we have had an "expert on your books during your absence." v "Y-yes, sir." "He haa discovered that' you have embezzled $350,000 from us during the last two years." "But sir" "Don't deny It James. Figures won't -lie. Yes, you have embezzled $350,000" "But; I I" "and I am glad to aee yea back.

Last night .Officer Mcintosh arrested a woman on Kansas avenue who was wandering around in an Intoxicated condition, and started with her to the station. On the way she told the officer that she was, and had been for several months, the Wife of James Redmond, who was siispected of the murder of an old German -woman named Shoemaker in Kansas City four years ago. She also raved against her husband, and said she would make him "swing" for the way he had treated her, saying that sue had left him recently at Solomon City, on the Union Pacific, after he had broken her collar bone In a brutal assault She continued to talk about seeing him "swing," and repeated her asser tions to officers who questioned her this morning, after she had sobered. She says that although the case had been dismissed against her husband for want of evidence, be bad confessed to her that he did kill tie woman. The crime in question was committed in February, 1898, on the outskirts of Kansas City, near the Heim Park railway. The murdered woman kept a small store, and was murdered about 9 o'clock at night presumably for the purpose of roDDery. it occurred at tne same time that Jesse James. Jr.. was under sus picion for train robbery, and the police did not give the. case proper attention. About this time James Redmond, who was under strong suspicion, enlisted in the regular army under an assumed name and later went to the Philippines. Sveral months later he was brought back to stand trial for the murder, but the evidence was so thin that he was never tried. If the woman sticks to her assertion the murderer may yet be brought to justice. She gives her name as Jessie Redmond. MATTER FOE W0RBY. How to Secure Business Growing Out of Isthmian Canal Building. New York. Aug. 22. Referring to the fact that the construction of the Pan ama canal will necessitate the transpor tation of hundreds of cargoes of con struction material, food supslies. for workmen, etc.. the Journal of Com merce savs: Panama and Colon are foreign ports, and there Is nothing therefore to pre vent foreign ship owners from compet ing at low rates for carrying material. It is said by a representative of the Panama canal interests that the mater ial required in the construction of the canal will certainly exceed $10,000,000, in addition to food supplies. This material will consist very largely of cement. granite, lumber and machinery. Tlie lumber will undoubtedly come largely from Oregon and that section of the country and will not be a matter of much concern to ship owners on the At lantic ocean, but in the case of cement. stone and machinery, the items will be of great imnortance, and communica tions have already been sent to the gov ernment at Washington with a view to seeing if some way can not be decided upon whereby this enormous carrying movement be confined to American ships. It is proposed that a construc tion of the coastwise law could be made declaring the six-mile zone on either side of the canal to be American terri tory, and this would convert Panama and Colon into domestic ports. This zone, under the treaty with Colombia, is" merely leased to. the united States, as Colombia does not relinquish her sov ereignty and some doubt, is expressed whether the government could therefore assume the ports of Panama and Colon without incurring international complica tions, under tne bill as passed by con gress no restriction of the carrying trade to American vessels can be made and American ship owners claim that they will not be able to meet the com petition of foreign vessels in this trade, for the reason that a large number of fruit vessels re available for service largely Norwegian vessels, which bring fruit north and have virtually no south bound cargo. These vessels would nat urally be able to carry southbound car go at much lower rates than could American vessels, which must make their entire expenses on such south bound cargo and return north practical ly in ballast It Is Contagious. New York, Aug. 22. The report that the managers of the World's Fair at St Louis propose to buy the Washington ancestral home near Banbury and transplant it to the grounds- of the ex hibition is regarded with feelings of dis may here, says the London corespondent of the Tribune. The house itself will not be specially missed, as it is not a shrine of English pilgrimage, but, as tne Morn ing Post points out, the desire for an cestral homes is contagious. City Ticket Office.

CY niLLnillTE. Writes of President Hooserelt and Cuban Reciprocity.. Says It Is Unfinished Work of McKiniey. SENATORS EXPLAIN. Why They Didn't Boast of Tic tory at Home. Insurgents Spanked by Shingle of Popular Scorn. The leading article in McClure's Mag azine for September is under, this head ing: "Cuban Reciprocity A Moral Is sue By William Allen White." The name of the gifted Emporia edi tor would in itself be sufficient to give interest to the article, but in connection with the greatest issue now before the American people, the discussion is of double interest It Alls the first six pages of reading matter of the maga zine and is illustrated with full-page pictures of President Roosevelt, Secre tary Root and General Wood. Mr. White gives the entire- history of the movement for reciprocal relations with Cuba- He writes in his most in teresting vein. He tells in general of the contest between the president and the "insurgents" in the recent session' of congress, but he deals particularly with the fact that Cuban reciprocity is a moral issue that the United States owes it to Cuba to establish reciprocal trade relations in return for Cuba s ac cepting the Piatt amendment to her con stitution. After discussing the Piatt amendment, which he decribes as the value received" part of the agreement between tne United States and Cuba. Mr. White puts the situation in the following characteristic way: So much for the value received oart of the obligation- Now for the 'promise to pay.' That President McKiniey had no authority to sign the note for the American people, that he would have exceeded his constitutional powers in promising the Cubans that congress would pass a reciprocity treaty, if he had nromised that, no one can deny. But if. on the other hand. President McKiniey negotiated for material bene fits which all American people are en joying today, the American people will be sneaks of the worst kind if they ac cept these benefits and quipple about the authority of their agent to raato an agreement. That McKiniey promised to use his influence to get a 25 per -er.t reduction in- the sugar duties for the Cubans is not a matter of honest dis pute. That McKiniey went to Buffalo to begin his doctrine of Cuban reciproc ity is evident. He was Deginning to 'use his influence' to carrx out his part of the agreement. McKlnley's. unflnish- ea WUrtL 1 1 1 LU 1 r.nn u. .v..j In erivine the history of tne ngnr in the last congress to carry out President Roosevelt's ideas Mr. White does not mention Senator Burton's name, but his description of the Kansas senator's ac tions subsequent to the adjournment of congress is very pointed. Mr. White says: 'It was assumed that the. Democrats would oppose the administration on so 1 important a question as uuoan reci procity, and the assumption proved cor rect when it Was tried in the house of representatives. There a sharp, vicious truerele occurred, and tne presiaeni won by a decent majority. A new na tional leader was developed in tne house in the person of Long of Kansas, who, with the president's confidence and approval, led the fight for reciprocity in the house. But when the fight got to the senate, it changed from a scrimmage to a siege. There were nineteen-Republican 'insurgents' in the senate. Of these it is fair to say that seven represented real beet sugar states. These states are Nebraska, California, South Dakota and Michigan. With the senators from these states the president maintained the most cordial personal and political relations. The two senators from Nevada were Re. publican recruits of such recent conver sion that their insurgency did not mean much more than the unconscious rever sion to type, and Senator Wellington's position was te-nperamental rather than the sign of a personal grudge. But with the other insurgents there was some thing more than a strong suspicion that they were fighting for something other than their altars and their fires. Each of them had had trouble with the presi dent over patronage. Each of them had been compelled to "name a new man' in some minor contest for a federal office, and each of them had said things punc tuated with exclamation points, 'not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith." The insurgents good, bad and Indifferent organized, and agreed on scheme for reciprocity, which didn't re ciprocate. It 'was Known as the rebate plan. It provided for a bounty to be paid to the Cuban government by the government of the United States of a eertain sun of cash for every hundred pounds of Cuban produce sugar and tobacco admitted into American ports at the present tariff rates of 108 per cent. In the rebate plan advocated by the insurgents there was no provision that this bounty should ever get into the hands of the planters who .grew the sugar and tobacco. The bounty was to go to the people of Cuba through theii treasury. Of course such a alan met with opposition from the president. He sent a special message to congress dis approving of tie insurgents' rebate plan frankly and in plain words; This was what they desired to get the presi dent committed. They did not under stand that he also desired to go on rec ord against- the insurgent plan. They reasoned that if they got the president publicly committed against their plan, the defeat of his plan, which he clearly indicated in his message to lie the house bill, would be humiliating; and with his defeat they believed the president would be discredited and distrusted by the country. It certainly looked like a logical sequence of events. But one link in the syllogism the insurgents had overlooked 1-3 fact that Cuban reel, procity is a moral issue, and that when the American people are once convinced that a question contains a moral issue, they will support such an issue with all their hearts. Roosevelt's message was an appeal to- the people, not to the in surgents. "The insurgents didn't realize this un til they had enjoyed their victory ana congress nad adjourned witnout pass ing -a reciprocity law. Then they heard from the people, and found their de feated president victorious and their victory turned to- odium. The losing fight for Cuban reciprocity strengths ened President Roosevelt with' the peo ple of America as nothing has done since he pledged himself to follow Mc Kinley's policy at the Milburn house at Buffalo. "Congress adjourned without a reci procity law on the statute books.' The insurgents went home, saw the reople, began explaining, and a funny thing happened. Instead of glorifying over their victory over; the president, nearly every man Jack of the nineteen insurg ent senators found occasion for telling his constituents that he was in aerfect accord .with the president; that the pres ident was the greatest statesman, scholar and patriot since Lincoln's time, and that while certain other Republican leaders were against Roosevelt, he, the orator of the occasion, had supported every measure which by any hint or in definite intimation had seemed like a Roosevelt measure. No American pres ident has more thoroughly and com pletely spanked a cabal of congress by the shingle of popular scorn than Pres ident Roosevelt spanked the beet sugar insurgents. Cuban reciprocity the Roosevelt kind, not the insurgent rebate kind is as certain to be an American law as coneress is to meet next De cember. And the fight for decency in American politics the fight for clean men in federal office is also won. Right never triumphs in one cause that it does not help decency in many other causes." Mr. White outlines President Roose velt's Cuban policy as follows: "To keep faith with Cuba; to make such strong commercial allies of the Cubans that they will seek political protection. To make Cuba a field for young Ameri cans seeking new industrial and com mercial opportunities; to Americanize Cuba by kindness rather than by con quest.". CAUGHT A BAD MAN. J. W. Murray Believed to Be Colorado Springs Bobber. An important arrest was made last night by Night Merchant Policeman Wm. Hopkins and Patrolman Mcintosh, in the person of a man giving his name as J. W. Murray. Hopkins saw the man near the entrance of the Crawford op era house about 10 o'clock, and recog nized him as the party who attempted to pick the pocket of an old man named Robert Lambert on a Rock Island train about August 1. The Lamberts refused to stay in town and prosecute the man, who gave his name as John Moore, and he was chased out of town the following Monday by Detective Pavey.with instructions never to return. Hopkins followed the man into the territory of Officer Mcintosh and they arrested him. When Moore or Murray was here before he had a small tin watch and thirty cents in money. This time he was found to have $156.33, a good gold watch and also a gold nugget pin and seven rings. The watch fits 'he description of one on a list of nine teen stolen from a Jewelry store in Colo rado Springs August 17, so he was lock ed up for a fugitive from justice.. It is now almost certain that he is one of the parties who robbed the Colorado Springs store. Chief Donovan took the list, issued by Chief King, of Colorado Springs, and the watch taken from Mur ray to a jeweler this morning, who read ily picked out the watch on the list by the description and number. The robber is lame from a pistol shot wound in the left thigh, which has been made re cently: The wound was examined by City Physician Judd this morning, who is of the opinion that the man was shot through the thigh from the rear and the bullet extracted from the front by a surgeon. The wound is clearly a bullet hole in the rear, but the other wound seems to be a cut, probably made by a surgeon in extracting the bullet. He tells different stories about the length of time since he was wounded, and Dr. Judd says the wound would indicate that it was made several days ago. probably not longer ago than the 17th A reward of $75 is out for the arrest of the robber, which, if he is convicted, will be divided between Officer Mcin tosh and Merchant Policeman Hopkins. Chief Donovan wired Chief King of Colorado Springs today that the man had been captured". He is a tough look ing specimen, and "nervy," making no complaint about his wound, and posi tively refusing to tell how he got it. In reply to a telegram sent last nigh; Chief King of Colorado Springs wires to know if J. M. Murray, the man held here on suspicion of being a fugitive from justice, will return to that state without a requisition.. No answer to. a second message sent by Chief Donovan has been received. It is supposed that Murray will try to stay away bom Colorado Springs. He has employed an attorney and will attempt to secure his release by habeas corpus proceedings, which would be brought before Judge Fagan of the probate court, in the absence of Judge Hazen. Chief Donovan refuses to honor the prisoner's order for the money taken from him last nisht, and the proceedings will be delayed on ac count of his inability to pay his attor ney. The police say that should' Mur ray escape by habeas corpus method he will be promptly rearrested, on another charge.

t vention on the part Of Newfoundland granted to United States fishermen con siderable privileges in regard to pur. chasing bait and largely reduced th duties on a considerable class of Amer ican imports into Newfoundland. The United States, on its side, opened its markets to Newfoundland fish and raw products, and confirmed the privilege of transportation of fresh fish in bond to the United States markets. The Newfoundland premier has de clared himself in favor of free trade with the United States as against a union of the colony with the Dominion of Canada. His success in obtaining imperial sanction for his present Amer ican visit is the culmination of twelve years' persistent effort, and only thh. week was he able to convince the gov. ernment of the Injustice done to New foundland by the non-ratification of the convention, and secure its consent to tho resumption of the reciprocity negotia tions. v The premier will lose no time 'In get ting to work, and the British charge d'affaires will communicate with the state department shortly after his ar rival in America. STRUCK BY A TRAIN John Koeblein Wasn't Warned by Flagman. Mr. John Koeblein, who recently pur chased the Whlttaker fruit business at 811 ICansas avenue, was struck by a Union Pacific train last night while driving across the track in North To peka on his way home, and himself and wife were badly bruised. Mr. and Mrs. Koeblein remained at the fruit store until about 9:30, and then started to drive to his home at 507 East Gordon street. When he reached th. railroad crossing he called to a flagman who stood on the track and .asked htn if he wjuld pass. The flagman made no answer, and supposing the coast to be clear Mr. Koeblein drove across. Just as the rear wheels of the wagon were leaving the track a swiftly mov ing train struck the vehicle and upset it. The occupants were thrown out and both severely bruised, the wagon un-i ning over Mr. Koeblein. who fell under the wheels. Mrs. Koeblein is unable to leave her bed today, ahd Mr. Koeblein is barely able to get around. The T. P. S. C. E. lawn social at H. B.
