LAST EDITION. TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, AUGUST 26, 1902. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. VIIEREJTJIINGES Big Contest Is On in the Con gressional Districts. Fusionists Are Fighting Hard For Three Congressmen. ALL WORKING HARD. Republicans Watching Sixth District Closely. Kelly Exposures May Hurt in the Second. The closest and hardest big political fights in Kansas this year will not be over the election of a state ticket. They will be in the three close congressional districts, the Second, Third and Sixth. Two years aeo the Second and Sixth were carried by the Republicans and j tne -imrd Dy tne JJemocrats. tacn party realizes that it must fight hardo keep what it has in these districts, and at the same time it is putting up a hard fight to get control of the districts which it has not. It has been realized all along that there would be a big battle in the Third district. The candidate of eacn party is a brilliant lawyer, an orator, good mixer and hard campaigner. The district is so close and so many diverse elements enter into its make-UD that very insignificant incidents may turn the tide one way or the other. In the Second district the Republicans had a good lead two years ago and they swill not admit that there is any danger of losing it this year, but the danger is there just the same. The revolt against Congressman Bowersock in Wy andotte county alone might be sufficient to turn the tide, but there are several other elements which -will work against the Republicans. The "revolt against Tom Kelly in Miami county cannot help but cost the entire Republican ticket, including congressman, a considerable number of votes, unless Kelly is taken from the ticket or repudiated by the state organization in no uncertain terms. The majority of Republicans, of course, will scratch only Kelly and vote the balance of the ticket, but there will be some disgusted at the nomination of an embezzler for the most responsible financial position on the state ticket, whowillrefusetovoteat all or will vote for the opposition. Then, too, the pop ularity of Craddock in Wyandotte coun ty may have some bearing on the con gressional contest and add a few votes to the fusion candidate. The Democratic national congres Bional committee 1s interesting itself in these three close Kansas districts and is sending out personal letters to many voters in each district. These letters are signed by Ben T. Cable, chairman of the national committee. One of them fell into the hands of Amos Lingard. who was the Republican representative from one of the Franklin county dis tricts two years ago. It reads as fol lows: "Sir This committee, of which I am chairman, is striving to secure a Demo cratic majority in the next congress. We are- very much interested in the candidacy of Hon. Noah L. Bowman, Democratic nominee in your congres sional district, and I wish to ask you to use your influence in his behalf. Be cause of his integrity and ability Mr Bowman is well qualified to represent your district in congress. This you un doubtedly know, and I think I need not make further mention of it- The dis trict is nominally Republican, and if Mr. Bowamn is elected it must be large, ly through the efforts of influential mei like yourself, who will take more than a. passive interest in his candidacy. I should be pleased to have you write mw and tell me something of the political situation in your locality as you view it, for only In this can we get anything like a correct idea of the political con. ditlons in your district. Again asking your active interest in Mr. Bowman's canvass, I am, very truly yours, "BEN T. CABLE." The Republicans realize that they have a hard fight in the Sixth district and they are trying to make good there. The odds are naturally against them, because a close fusion between the Democrats and Populists on C. M. Cole has been formed, and the Republicans are in the minority on a proposition of that kind. The Republicans will put some of their best oratory into the Sixth district and keep tz a hot fight during the entire campaign. W. J. Bailey, D. J. Hanna. J. R. Burrow and W. T. Morgan made a tour of the district last week, and Congressman Long is sched uled to make another this week and next. W .T. Morgan denies the truth of the communication received by the State Journal from St. Francis yesterday. He says that the Republicans had a good meeting there Saturday and that the court house was filled with voters, notwithstanding the rainstorm. "I presume one-third of the voters of Cheyenne county were present at that meeting," said Mr. Morgan. "Thos people up there turn out to political meetings. Cheyenne county is all right. That is about the only county in the state where I have seen a good wheat crop, but they have it up there. They have lots of cattle, too, and the farm ers appear to be well fixed. I have heard of using Russian thistles for for age, but I never saw it done before They were cutting the thistles up there and putting them up for hay." Mr. Morgan's associates tell a good Joke on him. The only road running out of St. Francis is a branch of the Bur lington, on which Mr. Morgan had no pass. Consequently he had to pay fare. He slid down in a seat in the smoke. and when the conductor came around Mr. Morgan gave him a bill. The con ductor gave back some change and went on. Soon the conductor came back and found the state printer smok ing. "Look here, young man," he said, "if you are' old enough to smoke you can't travel on half fare. Tou'H have to pay full fare. Give me another dol lar." St. John, Kan., Aug. 22, 1902. To the Editor of the State Journal: Some of us as Republicans are get ting impatient concerning T. T. Kelly, nominee for state treasurer. We think if he will not withdraw from the ticket the state committee should demand his withdrawal. I have been a voter in Kansas since before Kansas was a state and I have never scratched a state ticket and very mich dislike to begin now. I was surprised at Wichita that the Republicans would nominate a man with the charges preferred against him that Kelly has. He had ample time to clear them up before the convention, and now we are satisfied that there is no "clear up." We have- made up our inlndg to not only scratch or ignore T. T. Kelly, but to have to vote for the op posite man. J. M. D. MARTIN. Judge James Lawrence was In To peka last night from Wellington. He says that all three of Sumner county's members In the next legislature will be for Stanley for United States senator. The county has two representatives in the lower house, and Senator R. T. Simons, of Caldwell, in the state senate. Simons is one of the governor's ap pointees on the World's fair commis sion. The Democrats and Populists of Mar shall county got together yesterday and nominated a fusion ticket, as follows: Representative, Forty-fourth district. John May hew; county clerk, James Montgomery; treasurer, J. M. Williams; probate judge, D. P. Green; register of deeds, S. W. Hurlbut; sheriff. R. E. WTilson; county attorney, R. H. Evans; district clerk, A. F. Cockrell; surveyor, L. H. Armstrong; county superintend ent, J. G. Ellenbecker; county commis sioner, Richard Cosgrove. The conven tion was addressed briefly by Governor Jennings of Florida, who has been visit ing his cousin, William Jennings Bryan, at Lincoln, Neb., and was in Marysville yesterday visiting his nephew. Judge C. T. McCann., The Arkansas City Traveler gives it out dead sure that Congressman Long will be the next United States senator unless the Republicans lose the legisla ture. It says: "The senatorial contest has progressed far enough so that there is no longer any reasonable doubt about the identity of the next United States senator from Kansas. There is now no power that can prevent the election of Chester 1. Long, except the loss of the legislature. Thirty-three Republican senators hold over and eighty-nine of the 125 representatives have been re nominated. Nine of the renominations yet to be made are in the Seventh dis trict. Enough is known of the stand ing of the nominations made up tc date to make Mr. Long's success a cer tainty." SHORT$I6,000 Grand Treasurer of the Elks Is a Defaulter. Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 26. Official an nouncement has been made before the Elks lodge in this city that a shortage of $16,000 has been discovered in the books of Grand Treasurer Ed. S. Orris, of the grand lodge of Elks. Mr. Orris was re-elected to the position at the re- cent reunion in Salt Lake. According to a member of the grand lodge the shortage was not discovered by the auditing committee until after the elec tion. Mr. Orris, when confronted with it, stated that he could and would make it good at once, but this, it is an nounced, has not been done. The offi cial announcement does not state what action will be taken in the matter by the grand lodge officials. Mr. Orris lives in Buffalo, N. Y. KELLY'S "EXPLANATION." It Will Appear on Time Tomor row Morning. It is reported that T. T. Kelly's long looked-for "explanation" well be forth coming tomorrow morning. Just what will be in it is not known at this time in fact, those who are inclined to be very favorable toward Mr. Kelly are at a loss to know how he can give any explanation which will really explain. The assurance is given, however, that it will be "satis factory to his friends." Mr. Kelly's attorney, B. F. Simpson, wrote an "explanation" over his own Rig nature from Paola a few days ago, and it was thought that this might be the one that had been promised by Mr. Kelly, but Frank Grimes states that it is not and that another will be forthcoming. Mr. Simpson enters no denial of Kelly's guilt, but simply claims that there are wholesale charges of corruption in Miami county. His "explanation" is carefully written and tries to cover up the real issue of Kelly's guilt or innocence by giving a history of the contest between the Burton and anti-Burton factions in Miami county. He explains the adoption of the resolutions repudiating Kelly in the recent Republican convention by an overwhelming vote, by saying that some times one faction is on top and sometimes another. It is an explanation that doesn't explain, but was evidently intended to prepare the way for what Mr. Kelly will have to say for himself. "I don't see how Mr. Kelly can fix up any explanation that will not reflect se verely on the county commissioners in his county," said a state official today. "And if he does that, the Republicans of his county have already declared their faith in the commissioners and have repudiated Kelly. If he had any explanation he ought to have made it months ago." ALL PERISHED. Head of a Family Lighted the Fire With Kerosene. Denver, Col., Aug. 26. A special to' the Times from Cheyenne. Wyo., says: Lee Sage, a ranchman, has arrived here bringing news of a fire at Gehring, Neb., in which six people lost their lives. S. H. McCumpsey, a mechanic, lighted a fire with kerosene. The can exploded, igniting the clothes of McCumpsey. his 'wife, two children, aged one year and four days re spectively, and two other little girls. The mother and father remained in the burning house trying to save the children, and all perished. SENDS UP PRICES. An Increased American Demand For British. Iron. New York, Aug. 26. Increased de mand for British iron from Chicago, New York and Philadelphia has sent up prices here, says a London dispatch to the Tribune. A report that orders have been received for 80,000 tons has not been confirmed with authority, but the American demand for manufactured iron, and steel has sufficed to stiffen prices and compensate for a declining trade from India and Australia and the stagnant condition of South. Africa. When the American steel combination was formed there was a general con viction among British iron masters that there must be -a defensive move ment among the manufacturers here and in Germany and Belgium. Exports of iron and steel from these countries have been increasing steadily since De cember, and the effect of the American combination is not dreaded as it was last year. The British market has not been converted into a dumping ground for American iron and steel, and prices have risen with the increased demand tor export to the United States. SHOTS JIAT HIT. President Roosevelt Says These Are What Count. The Man More Important Than the Instrument. SPEAKS AT HAVERHILL Subject the Navy Because It's Moody's Home. Journeys From Boston to the Capital of Maine. Lowell. Mass.. Aug. '26. For 25 min utes today this city entertained the president of the United States and then watched him depart for New Hamp shire and Maine, giving him a hearty cheer as the train pulled out. The pres ident left Boston at 8:35 o'clock. On the run to this place the towns of West Medford, Winchester and North Bill erica turned out immense crowds and gave a rousing cheer as the train passed by. At each place the president ap peared on the platform and acknowl edged the greetings. The special train arrived here at 9:19 a. m., and its arrival was signalled by the firing of a presidential salute oy the local militia and the G. A. R. per formed guard duty. The sidewalks about the station were thronged with people, and the common, which was the scene of the real reception, was black with humanity. Acting Mayor Badger and a commit tee of the city government met the president and party at the station and were presented by Charles M. Allen, former governor of Porto Rico. After a few words of welcome the party took carriages and drove rapidly to the com mon through streets arched with bunt ing and lined with cheering people. Arriving at the speaker's stand the president was presented to the people in a brief sentence by the mayor. A setitry, a. Spanish war veteran, stood on either side of the president as he rose to speak. Cheers and applause greeted him. At the close of his speech the presi dent passed to his carriage. At the rear of the platform he found the local camp of Spanish war vet erans drawn up at a "Present." The president smiled and standing up in his carriage, spoke a few words to them, concluding "And I'm mighty glad to see you." He was then driven back to the sta tion and in ten minutes the train start ed out. AT LAWRENCE. Lawrence, Mass., Aug. 26. President Roosevelt and his party, amid the booming of a salute, were received here -by Mayor Leonard and members of the city government today. The president was escorted to a temporary stand erected at the station where he address ed one of the largest crowds that ever gathered in this city. Splendid weather conditions favored the event. The pres ident was greeted with enthusiastic cheers when he arose to make his ad dress. He said: "This is the section of the country in which the first blood was shed in the revolutionary war that made us a na tion and it was here also that the. two cities of Lowell and Lawrence gave their sons to pour out their life blood, the first of the ocean of life blood poured out from '61 to '65 to keep this I nation one and great and free. "And so it was characteristic of your city, which sent these men here to the great war. when a lesser war came up, my comrades, men of the Ninth regi ment, with whom I served before San tiago, in your turn sprang to the coun try's call when once again there was war in the land. (Cheers and ap plause.) And other comrades of yours, men whom we knew, men of the Ninth regiment, other men in the far off Phil ippines have after three years of un speakable toil and hardship against a cruel, reckless and elusive foe, finally won victory for the American flag. Our people1 owe the greatest debt possible to you who fought in the great crisis in the great war, but there is a debt owing also to the men who so gallantly did their duty during the past three years to say that the honor of the flag which you handed to them unstained, should be kept undimmed (ap plause) and now they have fought and their success has meant what the suc cess of the American soldier has always meant. You triumphed arid your foes and detractors said that as mighty an army as yours was meant the establish ment of a despotism in this country, and the minute that the war was over you went back to the plow, to the fac tory and the farm and the office and be came citizens again. (Applause.) "And now in the Philippines our sol diers have fought and won. To do what? To leave the country and es tablish the rule of civil authority under the American flag. And now we have brought peace to the islands. They are better off than ever before. Never in their history has each man had as he has now, such a good chance for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You have brought self-governing indi vidual freedom to the Philippines of a a kind that they could never have known under an anarchistic tyranny of their own. Now we will govern the islands well. We will govern them pri marily in their interests, but in our in terests also. Whether we wiU or not, we, as a nation, front a great destiny. "We can decide whether we will do our work badly or well, but we cannot help doing it. We have got to do it somehow and I ask that all men stand shoulder to shoulder as Americans to see that they do it welL" After speaking the president stepped back to the train. As it began to move, whistles from a dozen engines were blown and the battery guns boomed again. The train left at 10:30 on sched ule time for Haverhill. The next stop was at Haverhill. President Roosevelt said: "Naturally at the home of Secretary Moody I should like to say a word or two about the navy. You see that when one Massachusetts man would leave the navy department I had to find another Massachusetts man to take his place. I think that whenever we touch on the navy we are sure of such a response out of the mountains and great plains of the west as upon the Atlantic and P'lc-iflc seaboards. The entire country is vitally interested in the navy, because an efficient navy of an adequate size is not only the best guarantee of .peace, but it is also the surest means for see ing that if war does come the result shall be honorable to our good name and favorable to our national interesta Any really great nation must be pecul iarly sensitive to two thines stain on the nat'onal honor at home and dis grace to the national arms abroad. Our honor at home, our honor In domestic and internal affairs is at all times in our own keeping and depends simply upon the national possession of an awakened public conscience. "In three great crises in our history dur ing the 19th century in the war of 1812, in the civil war, and again in tie Spanish war, the navy rendered -to the nation services of literally incalcula ble worth. In the civil war we had to meet antagonists even more prepared at sea than we were. On both the other occasions we encountered foreign foes and the fighting was done entirely by ships built long in advance and by offi cers and crews who had been trained during years of sea service for the su preme day when their qualities were put to the final test. "It was this preparedness which was the true secret of the enormous differ ence in efficiency between our navy and that of the Spanish nation. There was no lack of courage and devotion among the Spaniards, but on our side, in addfc tion to the courage and devotion, there was also that training which comes only as the result of years of thorough and painstaking practice. Annapolis is, with the sole exception of its sister academy at West Point, the most typically demo cratic and American senool ot learning and preparation that there is fn the en tire country. "There each man enters on his merits, stands on his merits and graduates into service where only his merit will enable him to be of value. "The enlisted men are of fine type as they needs must be to do their work well and out of the fine material thus provided, the finished man of war man is evolved by years of sea service. It is impossible after the outbreak of war to improvise either the ships or the men of a navy. The shin-builders and gun makers must keep ever on the alert, so that no rivals oass them by; and the officers and enlisted men on board the ships must in their turn, by the exer cise of unflagging and intelligent zeal, keep themselves fit to get the best use out of the weapons of war intrusted to their care. The instrument is always important, but the man who uses it is more important still. "We must constantly endeavor to per fect our navy in all its duties in time of peace, and above all in maneuvering in a sea way and marksmanship with the great guns. In battle the only shots that count are those .that hit, and marksmanship is a matter of long prac tice and of intelligent reasoning. A navy's efficiency in a war depends mainly upon its preparedness at the outset of that war. We are not to be excused as a nation if there is not such preparedness of our navy. No nation has a right to undertake a big task un less it is prepared to do it in a master ful and effective style. It would be an intolerable humiliation for us to em bark on such a course of action as fol lowed from our declaration of war with Spain and not make good our words by deeds not be ready to prove our truth by our endeavor whenever the need calledL "The good work of building up the navy must go on without ceasing. The modern warship cannot with advantage be allowed to rust in disuse. It must be used in active service even in time of peace. This means that there must be a constant replacement 6f the inefficient by the effective. The work of building up and keeping up our navy is therefore one which needs our constant and un flagging vigilance. "Our navy is now efSeient: but we must be content with no ordinary de gree of efficiency. Every effort must be made to bring it nearer to perfection. In making such effort-the prime factor is to have at The head of the navy such an official as your fellow-townsman, Mr. Moody: and the next is to bring home to our people as a whole the need of thorough and ample preparation in advance; this preparation to take the form, not only of continually building ships, but of keeping those ships in commission under conditions which wih develop the highest degree of efficiency in the officers and enlisted men aboard them." CONDEMNS TRUSTS. Platform Adopted by California Republican Convention. Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 26. The Re publican state convention today adopt ed a platform deploring the untimely death of President William McKinley. The administration of President Roose velt is endorsed and he is especially thanked for his support of measures pe culiarly beneficial to the interests of the Pacific coast, such as the reclama tion of arid lands, the exclusion of Chi nese and the isthmian canal legisla tion. The convention endorseh the firm but enlightened policy pursued in the Phil ippines which has "secured peace in the islands and that the work of education, civilization, upbuilding and delevop ment is begun and urges that "conten tion over our policy in the Philippines should now cease and beneficent plans of the civil government be given the united and cordial support of all the people." The convention recommends that liberal pension provisions be made for the sol diers and widows of the late civil war and of the war with Spain and the work of those armies in maintaining the dignity and honor of the flag is highly commended. On the question of trusts the convention expresses itself as follows: "We condemn all conspiracies and com binations to restrict business, to create monopolies to limit production or to con trol prices, and favor such legislation as will effectually restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote compe tition and secure the rights of producers, laborers and all who are engaged in indus try and commerce, and we approve and commend the efforts of President Roose velt to enforce the laws against illegal combinations in restraint of trade and we pledge him our hearty support in all his efforts to protect the people from all op pressive combinations of capital." The platform recommends the con struction of government ships in gov ernment navy yards and urges the adoption of an eight-hour schedule for labor on all government work, whether performed in public or private estab lishments. The platform opposes "all reciprocity treaties inconsistent with the protection to American labor and industry," and any reciprocal policy not laid down in the Republican platform of 1900. The platform also favors legislation which will so regulate the process of in junction as to prevent its exercise in abridgement of the right of free speech or peaceful assemblage. The platform rejoices "in the fact that the act providing for the cutting of a canal between the North and South American continents was passed by a Republican congress and signed by a Republican president." Strike on Marshall Field's Building? Chicago, Aug. 26. A dispute between the anions of the carpenters and the electrical workers over the setting of certain moldings in the new Marshall Field building has resulted in the board of business agents, ordering a strike of all workmen on the building, and all but the carpenters walked out. About 250 men are involved. nAYwALI. Chicago Is Threatened With a Street Car Strike Which Will Tie Up West and North Side Lines. BY REFERENDUM YOTE Members of Union Refuse Offer of the Companies To Increase Their Wages a Cent an Hour. Chicago, Aug. 26. Grave possibilities of a strike that may tie up all the street railway lines of the west and north sides of this city confront the officials of the Union Traction company. To day, by an overwhelming vote, the local union of the Amalgamated Association of Street Car Employes refused to ac cept the proposition made by President Roach several days ago. The overtures of the company, which included an increase of one cent an hour in Wages, the dissolution of a rival employes' association and the employ ment of none but union men, was bal loted on by nearly 3,000 men yesterday. The votes were counted this mornins. and although no public statement was maae or tne vote, it was estimated tnat the radical men carried the referendum against the company by nearly ten to one. An agreement between the union? and the railway company exists where by disagreements shall be Bettled by arbitration. Wm. Mahon, international president of the street car men, exerted his influence to avoid any strike action and to urge that the union live up to its laws. A rupture, however, occurred between the local officials and President Mahon, and he left their meeting with a statement that if the men struck without trying arbitration the general union would not support them in the issue. MILES' ORDERS. President Directs Him to Pro ceed to the Philippines. Washington, August 26. President Roosevelt's order to Gen. Miles to visit the Philippines reached the war depart ment in the mail today. Gen. Miles is instructed to "proceed about September 15 to the Philippines to inspect the army there with reference to instruction, dis cipline and supplies." It is the understanding that in that capacity, though of superior rank, Gen. Miles will not interfere in any way with either Gen. Chaffee or his successor. Gen. Davis, in the direction of the army in the Philippines... He will critically examine the conditions as he finds them, devoting his attentio n entirely to matters of army administration and not to political affairs and the results of his work will be embodied in a set of reports. It is believed here that he will be accompanied by at least two members of bis staff, namelv, Lieut. Col. Whitney and Col. Reber, the latter his son-in-law. Col. Maus. who is the inspecting officer of the staff, also may accompany Gen. Miles if his health which is somewhat impaired at present, permits. HE WOULD SUBMIT IT. Where Councilman Bergundthal Stands on Waterworks. Councilman Bergundthal has ex pressed himself firmly on the water works question, and set at rest tne claim that he would be in favor of re jecting the proposition of the water company to sell for $620,000. "I believe that the council should at its next meeting vote to submit to the people a proposition to vote bonds to the amount of $620,000, to purchase the water plant. I do not believe there should be any conditions attached about a renewal of the franchise If the city refuses to vote the bo:iiis it will be time enough to decide what wew want to do about the franchise. I hope that Councilman Ho wo will be back from Colorado in time for the next meetmg, and I belUve that the people ought to be given a chance to vote "on the bond question." Tnt opponents of the proposed plan of submitting the question to the people have claimed that as M Bergundthal presented the resolution some months ago instructing the city attorney to be gin suit against the water company, he would still advocate that method of procedure. That resolution was pre sented, however," before the water com pany made its $620,000 proposition, and Mr. Bergundthal thinks that now the people ought to be given a chance to settle the question for themselves. "Some say that we have had no for mal offer to take $620,000," said Mr. Bergundthal today, "but I believe that the water company has intimated broad ly enough that such an offer would be acceptable. I believe that we can easily be able to get together on the question in case the council decides that it will submit the $620,000 offer." COLORADO WILL COME. Reconsiders Matter of Maneu vers at Ft. Riley. Washington, Aug. 26. A telegram was received at the War department today from Gov. Orman, of Colorado, statin: that that state had reconsidered its form er decision not to participate in tW army maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kan., next falL The governor says that he will be able to despatch 250 of the Colorado National Guard.

TREASURY CLERK BOUNCED Because He Was Backing a Syndicate to Play the Races. Washington, Aug. 26. Secretary Shaw has returned to Washington an7 will re main until the end of the week when he will go to his old Vermont home to meet President Roosevelt. Attorney Gen eral Knox left Washington for New York and will sail for France Wednesday on the steamer Oceanic. Secretary Shaw today ordered the dis missal -from the treasury department of Lorenzo G. Warfield, a clerk in the di vision of bookkeeping and warrants. The attention of the department was called a few days ago to a circular said to have been issued by an organization of which Mr. Warfield was treasurer. The circular gave the plans of a proposed association by which stockholders could probably reap large returns from scheme to play the races. One clause" in the circular cited the fact that Mr. Warfield had an im portant position in the treasury depart ment and gave this as evidence of the re sponsibility of the association. The dis missal was based upon the use of the de partment's name in this connection. TOWN Ifl A TURMOIL Soldiers Escort Miners to Their Work at Summit Hill. Summit Hill. Pa., Aug. 26. Excite ment prevails throughout the Panther Creek district today. At daybreak, the strikers assembled to prevent nonunion men from going to work. Anticipating trouble Major Gearhart sent two com panies of soldiers in trolley cars from camp in Manila Park to this place and their presence prevented a possible out break. Several nonunionists had been attack ed and the town was in a turmoil. The soldiers escorted the workmen through the mob that had collected and placed them in safety on the cars which car ried them to their -rfork. STRIKERS ARRESTED. Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 26. Suspecting that another attempt would be made to resume operations at the No. 40 colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal company to day, many strikers' pickets were sta tioned along all of the approaches to the mine. Most of the nonunionists who attempted to reach the colliery were turned back but no serious trouble oc curred. Three strikers vtffco are alleged to have participated in yesterday's riot at No. 40 colliery, are under arrest. Othei arrests are expected. MITCHELL'S MYSTERIOUS VISIT. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 26. Chas.. S. Vesey, the mysterious visitor who came to this city and held a two-hours' con ference with President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers last night, re turned to New York today. He declined to say whom he represented or what hisi mission was. Mr. Mitchell says Mr. Vesey's visit to town had nothing to do with a settlement of the coal strike. The authorities of the Lackawanna company threaten to enter suit against the authorities of Duryea boroug-h. It is alleged that a number of constables of the borough arrested two employes of the eompany without cause. TOO MUCH RAIN. Corn Needs Some Warm Dry Weather. Washington. Aug. 26. The agricul tural department's weekly summary of crop conditions says: Although cool, the weather conditions were fairly favorable for maturing crops in the Ohio valley and over the south ern portion of the middle Atlantic states, as well as on the Pacific coast. Corn is greatly in need of warm, dry weather throughout the northern por tion of the corn belt, where the abnor mally cool weather of the past two weeks has greatly retarded its maturity. Over the southern portion of the corn i belt an excellent crap of early corn is now practically assured. Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the northern portion of the Red river valley, where it has been interrupted by frequent showers which .have also seriously interfered with stacking and threshing. Harvest is about three fourths finished in Oregon and will be completed in Washington during the present week, witn yields about the average, though less than expected in Washington. A decided deterioration in the condi tion of cotton is reported generally throughout the central and western por tions of the cotton belt, as well as over a large part of the eastern districts. In Texas the deterioration has been pro nounced, and even under the most fa vorable weather a yield in excess of the average is improbable. WRECK AT WELLINGTON Santa Fe Passenger Crashes Into a Rock Island Freight. Wellington, Kan., Aug. 26. A passen ger train westbound on the Panhandle division of the Santa Fe system, crash ed Into a southbound freisrht on the Rock Island system at the junction here last night, piling up several freight cars and partially wrecking the passen ger engine. No one w-as hurt although the passengers- in the westbound train were shaken up and thrown from their seats. Traffic was delayed until morn ing. Russian Trade Figures. (Cor. of the Associated Press.) St. Petersburg. Tuesday, Aug. 12. The official report of Russia's foreign trade for the first four, months of 1902 shows the American importations to be virtually the same as 1900, apparently indicating that Russian buyers have become convinc ed it is better to buy American machinery in spite of the discriminating duty against it. The comparative figures for 1900. 1901 and 1902. are respectively $8,980,000; $7,158,009 and $$,913,500. In the meantime German and British imports have fallen, their figures being $34,061,500; $32,216,500 and $30, 297,000; and $15,064,000, $14,317,000 and $10,- 394,000. The whole import has continued falling, so that the share of America is relatively larger in 1900. The exportations continue to increase. t Last of the Sees. New York, Aug. 26. Peter S.

One month ago, finding some of the old symptoms returning I purchased a 50c bottle of Swamp-Root at Dr. Morey's Drug- Store, and before I had taken- one fourth of it I found in the vessel which 1 had voided during the night, a tea spoonful of small gravel stones and sand, the passing of which was immed iately followed by relief.

HAD A WIFE AND CHILD Queer Antics of the Man in Evading Prosecution. Burial of a Chunk of Ice in Oklahoma Explained. Emporia, Aug. 26. James Pendleton, mayor of Gentryville, Mo., a husband and father there, alias Coda 45. Morris, of Emooria, married last June to Miss Grace Obley, of Emporia: alias John Cox, of Gentryville, Mo., who "buried" his friend, "Coda S. Morris," at Orlando, O. T-, August 15, made a full confession here. I Pendleton is a bigamist, and it was to deceive his second wife, whom he mar ried at Emporia under the name of Mor ris, that he went through the fake bur ial performance at Orlando. He said today he bad been under physicians care for a year because of brain trou ble, and that at times he was a little 'off." To this fact he attributed both his marriage here, June 17, to Miss Ob ley. and his burial of a chunk of Ice at Orlando under representation that the coffin contained the body of Coda S. Morris. It has not developed that there was any attempt at insurance swindle on connection with the fake burial, as was suspected of the time. When "John Cox bought a coma ana 200 sounds of ice at Perry. O. T.. for shipment to Orlando, August 15, he also bought a crate ot peacnes, wnicn ne or dered sent to Mrs. James Pendleton. Gentryville, Mo. This afforded the clue which unraveled the mystery of the fake burial at Orlando. It was learned that Pendleton returned to his home at Gentryville, August 16, after an ab sence of eight months. Sheriff O'Connor, of this county, telegraphed the city marshal at Gentryville to arrest and hold Pendleton, but that official rerusea to act because the man to be arrested was mayor of the town. Sheriff O'Con nor then telegraphed Sheriff Barkley, of Gentry county, who went from Al bany and arrested Pendleton on a cnarge of bigamy. The bigamy cnarge was sworn to Dy Grace Obley, whom Pendleton married at Emporia, June 17. Grace Obley ac companied Sheriff O'Connor to Albany and identified Pendleton as tne man to whom she had been married at Em poria. He wilted when he saw her at Albany, but refused to make a confes sion until brought to Emporia. He said he would plead guilty, but it is believed here he will make a plea of insanity. He savs he was somewhat on wnen In Oklahoma, but remembers the cir cumstances of the burial of the cnunk of ice with last sad rites over the "re mains of Morris." He admits he was both Morris, who was buried." ana Cox, who buried "him," and says his purpose was to eiuae nis imporia who. He has a wife and five children at Gen trvville. and today talked freely con cerning his family, but he was evidently still somewhat "off." He said he was 36 years old, while in fact he is 55, and that he had been marriea twelve years, while he has a daughter at Gentryville 18 years old. tirace Obley, tne gin wnom fenaie tnn married here under the name of Morris, is of good family and well thoueht of. It was because of her in quiries regarding the alleged death and burial of "Coda S. Morris" at Orlanda Okla., that the officers there exhumed the coffin and found it contained only a small piece of ice what was left of the 200-pound chunk intended to repre sent all that was mortal of Morris. The preliminary hearing of Pendleton was held this afternoon before Justice McCain. Pendleton refused to put up any defense, and waived his preliminary hearing. He was held to the district court on a bond of $1,000, which he will not be able to put up.

Plana For the Improvement of Hutch inson's Railway System. Hutchinson, Kas., Aug. 26. Plans are on foot for the conversion of the Hutch inson horse car system into an electric road and its extension to a system em bracing seven or eight miles of track. State Senator G. W. Stubbleneld, of Bloomington, 111., and two other Bloom ington capitalists, S. P. Robinson ana John Y. Chisholm, are behind the deal. They have secured an option upon tht street railway property, which consists of 220 town lots, besides the track ami equipment. It is proposed to sell these lots, which are adjacent to one of the best residence sections of the town, for $100 a lot, and the building of the new electric system is conditioned upon their sale. The Commercial club will take charge of this last project, and it is be lieved that no trouble will be experi enced in getting rid of the real estate. The capitalists have also made the sur vey for an interurban line between this city and Wichita, which is a part of the project. After Recruits at Salina. Salina, Aug. 26. Captain A. P.

Captain Berry says that the opportuni ties in the army are much better than ever before, and that many men from the ranks are taking examinations at Leavenworth for second lieutenants' commissions, as West Point cannot fur nish enough. Many of the soldiers in the Philippines, after they are discharg ed, go into business for themselves, and, he says, they are doing well. Place For Former Kansan. Lawrence, Kas., Aug. 26.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 26, 1902. RAILROAD NEWS. Disaster at China Basin Ter minals of Santa Fe. $60,000 Damages Done by Shifting Made Land. SEA WALE SLIDES OUT. Currents in Mission Bay Held Responsible For Trouble. Loss Will Fall on Lantry Bros, and Other Contractors. The sudden shifting of new-made ground in China basin caused a partial. "wrecking of the Santa Fe railroad com pany's new terminal at San Francisco on Sunday morning. For several months past contractors have been engaged in filling in the wide expanse of the basin for the Santa Fe, which has a long lease of the territory from the state of California, and promises to make an expenditure of at least $1,000,000 in pro viding Itself with an extensive termi nal for its freight business in San Francisco, the new location being in tended to replace the present cramped quarters of the company at the foot of Main street. At 3 o'clock Sunday morning, with out warning, there was great crashing of timbers supporting the wharf and tracks between the solid ground ana he ferry slip, a distance of about 200 feet, and a portion of the wharf, 50 feet in width, sank almost to the level oi the water, or about six feet. The struc ture was also carried out into the bay at least four feet, and a small section of the wharf, instead of sinking with me rest, was raised upward about six feet. The slip and apron and the spring piles on either side of the slip were not damaged. The new and well built house over the apron was wrenched out of plumb, but was not seriously damaged. Half a dozen freight cars that stood on a track outside the house were lifted up, and looked as though they had Jumped the rails. The only people in the neighborhood of the wharf at the time of the acci dent were men who were employed in filling in China basin, and who were sleeping in a bunkhouse on a barge moored to the line of spring piles on the outrr end of the wharf. They wre awakened by the crashing of the piles and knew that the wharf was break ing down. The men were, however, un able to prevent the damage. From the lirtt crash at 3 o'clock until 6 o'clock in the motning the straining and break ing piles and timbers continued to be heard, and the workmen expectej to see wharf, house and cars topple into the water. At daylight it was seen that the new ground vpon which the wharf and tracks had been built had sunt and moved outward. The stone seawall on shore near by, which had been built up frcm the bottom of the bay to height o 22 feet or four feet above the surface of the water, had also been moved outward a distance of four feet. The entire damage, it is estimated, will amount to about $60,000. No blame was attached to anvbody for the accident. The' basin has been lilleC. in at that spot as Golidly as else where, and heavy cars had been run over the tracks without the ground showing signs of weakening. The fill ing in where the slump took place was done by Lantry Brothers of Strong City, Kan. The seawall was laid by C. A. Warren, a contractor of San Francisco. It is believed that the strong eddies and currents in Mission bay were solely re sponsible for the damage. HOXIE TO DENVER. Rumor of the Missouri Pacific Cut-Oft Again Revived. Denver, Colo., Aug. 26. It is said un officially that the Missouri Pacific rail road will soon send out a corps of sur veyors to fix the lines for a Denver cutoff. This has been often reported, but it is said that it Is now really to be done. It is said that this cutoff will be considered by George Gould when he Is in St. Louis and Denver. The proposed cutoff of the Missouri Pacific is from Hoxie, Kas., in a line almost due west to some point on the Denver Rio Grande, which road can give the Missouri Pacific terminals in Denver. The projected line is to trav erse the northern portion of Kansas, crossing the Rock Island near Colby Sweet, crisp fl&Kcs of Dmn't Knew When to Stop. "I have lately been using Force' and find it the most palatable of any cereal food I have ever tried. The only trouble with it is that it is so delicious i -r ri TAV.AiaAV IbfttKB one never uows woca w wi wuuk. and entering Colorado In Arapahoe county. It is said also that the Missouri Pa cific and Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul have formed a close traffic agreement, practically making the two roads one system. It is said that all stories that the Milwaukee will enter a combination with the Rock Island are without foun dation. Should the Missouri Pacific build the projected cutoff, its line would be the shortest from Denver to Kansas City, St. Louis and the south, and In con nection with the Milwaukee through Kansas City the shortest line from Den ver to Chicago. The Missouri Pacific's Colorado line now ends in Pueblo, where it connects with the Rio Grande, another Gould road, A cutoff would handle most of the business off the Rio Grande. In this connection it is reported that the Rio Grande system Is to be absorbed by the proposed merger of all Gould lines into one system, the Rio Grande to come in at 105 for preferred stock. This merger, it is said, will include all the Gould southwestern and western lines, but not the Wabash. There is no confirmation of this report, but it Is generally believed that if the merger la made the Rio Grande system will be taken in and that it will prove advan tageous to stockholders. MAY USE CHOCTAW TRACKS. Santa Fe Still in Doubt as to New Mexico Cut-OfE Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 26. The last grading on the Choctaw road into Amarillo was completed Saturday, the gap between Washburn, 16 miles down the Denver, having been finished. The Choctaw trains are still running in over the Denver, however, as the company is unable to secure steel to complete the track. The Choctaw surveyors are lo cating the line from Amarillo to Tu cumcari, N. M., and it is definitely un derstood the road will be built as soon as the steel can be had. This road will be built as soon as possible, for this cutoff means much to the Rock Island and Choctaw systems in the handling of both transcontinental and Mexican business. The Santa Fe people have not posi tively settled the point from which the cutoff from the Pecos Valley line to Albuquerque, N. M., will be made, both Amarillo and Portales, N. M., being un der consideration. The line from the former place is shorter, but through a rougher country, and it is believed by those in position to know that if the ex tension from Amarillo is made the Santa Fe will have trackage over the Choctaw to the point of divergence. The Santa Fe people are moving their shops from Rosweil, N. M., to Amarillo, and this work will be completed by Novem ber l. ROLL A TO ARKANSAS. Rock Island Surveyors Now at Work in Missouri. West Plains. Mo.. Aug. 26. Cant. A. L. Clark, in charge of the corps of Rock island engineers surveying a road from Rolla to the Arkansas line, was here Sunday looking over the country to this city. He has secured Col. P. P. Do- bosh, who assisted in locating-the Fort bcott Gulf road through this country in 1881, to assist in finding a route. The line will cross the old Memphis route at or near West Plains. From here two surveys will be made, one to Fort Smith and the other to Newport. The new road will open up a country rich in mineral and timber. WHERE THET WENT. Santa Fe Shopmen Get Jobs With Other Railroads. Last week when the Santa Fe reduc ed its force in the Topeka shops eW 120 men, the Missouri Pacific was quick in securing 50 of them, sent them directly to Osawatomie and put them to work in the shops there. Those shops are now running on full time with a large force of men. The balance of the 120 men re leased at Topeka were taken by the Rock Island and sent to one of their shops In the northern part of the state. VIOLATE THE AGREEMENT. Anti-Pass Compact Smashed by the Grand Trunk Road. Chicago, Aug. 26. Invitations issued by the Grand Trunk railroad offering a special train and free transportation to all general passenger agents desiring to attend the forty-seventh annual con vention of the American Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents to be held in Portland In October has stirred up a hornet's nest among east ern lines. The invitations are in direct violation of the anti-pass agreement entered into between trunk lines at the beginning of the year, and hitherto rigidly observed Jim Dumps was a most unfriendly man, Who lived his life on a hermit plan. He'd never stop for a friendly smile, But trudged along In his moody style Till Force one day was served to him Since then they call him "Sunny Jim." ore ThBead7-6arra.Canal a better builder than a vacation. wheat aad malt eaten cold. ja.

It Is readily understood that the Grand Trunk has attained an im mense prestige with general passenger agents all over the country by daring to Ignore the agreement, and that this friendly feelins will result In all the passenger traffic being given to the Grand Trunk in the future that It Is possible to divert over its lines. Before they return the delegates to the con vention will be given a trip to the Mus koka Lake reeion and down the St. Lawrence river, and will be made thor oughly acquainted with all the attrac tions which the Grand Trunk has to of fer. 100 MILES PER HOUR. Russia Orders Fast Locomotives For the Government Railroad. Steam locomotives to run at 100 miles per hour are said to have been ordered by the Russian state railway, from th Cassel locomotive works. The locomo tives, of which two have been ordered, are to be run as an experiment on the military line from Marienfeld to Zossen. where the experiments with high-speed electric cars were made last year, which resulted unsuccessfully. According to a correspondent of the London Engineer, these locomotives are to weigh seventy- eight tons without the tender when ready for service, and are to be capable of hauling a load of 100 tons at a speed of eighty-one to ninety-three miles per hour. With a load of ninety tons, con tines the correspondent, "the new en gines must be able to make a speed of at least 125 miles per hour." As it is manifestly absurd that so small a re duction in load could make such a dif ference in speed, we venture to euess that 100 miles per hour is the mark really aimed at. The new machines are to be ready for service by May, 1903. FOR ROCK ISLAND CARS. Axle Light System to Be Used on California Trains. New Xork, Aug. 26. The Consolidated railway, electric lighting and equipment company of this city has contracted with the Rock Island to equip with its "axle light" system of electric lights and fans all the cars now being con-; structed by the Pullman company, to be used in the new limited trains that go into service on November 1 between Chicago and San Francisco via the Rock Island Southern Pacific. This is the same "axle light" system of electric car lighting that is now in use on the twenty-hour trains of the New York Central and Lake Shore and the Pennsylvania limited, and also On the finest trains of the Santa Fe, Grand Trunk, Chicago Great Western, Mis souri Pacific and St. Louis and San Francisco, and on the dining cars of other leading lines: also on all privatu Pullman cars, and on nearly all the official cars of railway presidents and general managers. HE DIDN'T SMOKE. Case Where the Ticket Broker Dick ered a Little Too Closely. E. G. Straub, the ticket broker, was standing behind his counter the other day, remarking that Glenwood Springs tickets were the onlv ones in demand, says the Denver Times. "You can always sell a Glenwood Springs ticket. It is just as good as a Chicago ticket and about as hard to get," he remarked. Just then a young man came in and said: "Do vou want a Glenwood Springs ticket?" Straub looked the man over a mo ment and then said: "We're pretty well stocked up on Glenwood Springs. How many have we, Lou?" he asked of his chief clerk. "Oh, 15 or 20," was the reply. "I'll tell you what I'll do." said Straub, "I'll give you $4 for it. Just some smoking money, you know." "Thanks," said the young man. "I don't smoke." And taking the ticket from his pocket he coolly tore it up and threw the bits on the floor! CRUCES WANTS ROCK ISLAND. New Mexico Town Booming Proposed Pacific Coast Cut-Off. Las Cruces, N. M., is making a strong bid for the construction of a cutoff of the Rock Island from Alamagordo to Deming, for the purpose of securing a short line to the Pacific coast. The peo ple of the town are wearing big red buttons on which is printed "Cruces Wake Up. Rock Island or Bust." W. H. H. Llewellyn, of Las Cruces, says in an interview concerning the prospects of the road: "The road will run through a highly resourceful country, will tap the rich Black mountain and Organ mountain mining districts, the unexampled agri- cultural' lands of the MestHa valley and run through, a fine cattle country to Deming. It would be a paying proposi tion in itself, but more important than that from the Rock Island view point, it would enable the Rock Island to com pete to a still greater advantage with its great rival, the Santa Fe." 97 TO CHICAGO. Low Rate Announced For Labor Day Excursions From Topeka. The Santa Fe has announced a low rate to Chicago for Labor day. The rate is put in to meet the recent cut made by the Chicago Alton. The following is the announcement made by the Santa Fe passenger department: "On August 29 to September 1 inclu sive, the Santa Fe will place in effect a rate of $5.50 from Kansas City, Leav enworth, Atchison and St. Joseph to Chicago. Westbound the same rate will be made. On this basis the rate from Topeka to Chicago will be $7. This will enable persons from all points in Kan sas, Oklahoma and Colorado to obtain through tickets to Chicago and territory east on the basis of this $5.50 rate from Missouri river to Chicago. "On August 29 and 30 the Santa Fe will place in effect from Kansas City, Atchison, Leavenworth and St. Joseph a round trip rate to Chicago and return of $10, with limit of September 1. The same rate westbound will be made from Chicago to the four points mentioned." HIT IN THE HEAD. Package of Meat Thrown From Train Kills Foreman. El Paso, Tex., Aug. 26. The east bound E. P.-R. I. .train Monday took on some meat at Tueumcari which was to be unloaded at Sand Springs. There were no passengers for that place and as there is only a section house the train does not make regular stops. When they passed the section house Express Messenger Schultz tossed the meat out of the car door. It struck the foreman and knocked him down. He was placed aboard the train and taken to Dalhart where he died a few hours later. The man has a wife and daugh ter but it is not known where they live. They had been visiting with him for a few weeks but returned to their home a few days previous to the accident. Burt's Terms to Strikers. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 26 President Burt of the Union Pacific today stated to the striking shopmen of that road on what terms they might seek a settlement oi alleged grievances. He told a committee representing the carmen that the em ployes must first return to work, and that the company would then hear their grievances as individuals, but that ho would not confer with anybody repre senting strikers. While this statement was made to the carmen, President Burt said it also applied to the machinists, boilermakers and blacksmiths. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE.

John Mcintosh and Richard Hartshorn, water service men who have been with the company here some months, -have re signed their places and wil leave at once for Scranton, where they will mine coal. Wm. Burt, who was some time ago a machinist in these shops, but now doing work for the company in the same capac ity at Atchison, is in Topeka for a short stay with friends. He was at the round house Monday. Frank O'Brien, who recently completed his apprenticeship in the boiler shop and went to work in that department for the Rock Island at Horton, was in town Mon day arranging business affairs preparatory to going back there for a permanent stay. Two work trains are busy filling in the great mass of broken stone which is to strengthen the breach in the line caused by the ravages of the Kaw at Lake View several weeks ago. It will take considera ble lime to bring to completion the task undertaken. All of the night gangs have been trans ferred to the day shift. The machinists were nut on Monday morning and the two 1 blacksmithing gangs wnicn nave Deen in working nights took charge of the large blacksmithing gangs which have been in Hammers in tne new Diacxsmiui anop uivn. day forenoon.

Symmes, Fourth street flagman and a member ot Hammond's steel gang, had the misfortune a few days ago to be struck under one knee bv a piece of steel which produced a painful wound. It is understood that he has been able to work since the acci dent, but he will be in Topeka the latter part of the week, presumably for a brief rest, giving the injury an opportunity to completely heal. There is a story in circulation that the Alphonse Custodis Chimney Construction company, which is erecting the big stack at the new power house, may commence the manufacture of its patent brick in To peka. It is the custom of the company to Install its own machinery for manufactur ing these brick in connection with the brick companies of the country paying them a royalty on what product Is manu factured.

Charles Jett, who until a few weeks ago had charge of employers' records in the of fice of Mechanical Superintendent Risteen, was in Topeka for a short while Monday on his way to Colorado. Jett has been in a Kansas City hospital since leaving here and is now going out to the health resorts of the Rockies until he further recuper ates, after which he will probably spend some time on a ranch in which he is in terested in in the southern part of the state. J. W. Gibbons, foreman of the locomo tive painters. Is at his corner after a leave of half a week. He went to Oklahoma City, Ok., where his wife and sons had been spending a summer vacation, and re turned by wav of Wichita in time to at tend the institution of the Knights of Co lumbus lodge in that city Sunday. For the last named event there were large crowds from different parts of the state, special cars being run from Salina and Parsons for the event. G. W. Styles and William Johnston of the shops electrical department, are home from Needles, Cal., where they went some months ago to Install a new electrical plant. The result of their work Is that the shops there are Illuminated by 400 incan descent and 13 arc lights, requiring a gen erator of 45 kilo-watts capacity. This in cludes an ice plant which sometimes sup plies refrigerants for the railroad there and which has been connected with the lighting plant of the Santa Fe.

While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. For the street car company's em ployes Labor day is no misnomer. European governments are beginning to regard Venezuela as the "sick man" of America. The country will soon begin to look for election forecasts from Joe Manly and Gen. Grosvenor. Since the South Carolina editors have discovered that it is safe to call Jim Tillman a liar they are all taking a band in the game. If Uncle Mark Hanna also should turn the cold shoulder toward the south ern Republicans where would they look for a friend and adviser? Uncle Russell Sage is knocking on the trusts. It is rumored that he lost J7.20 on a trust deal recently, hence this feel ing of bitterness which he is exhibit ins. Cleveland Leader: Tom I Johnson would be the richest Democratic can didate for president since Tilden, the heaviest since Cleveland, and the fat test ever in the field.

Land Telegraphs of the World" is the title of a mono graph prepared by the treasury bureau of statistics which will appear in the forthcoming Monthly Summary of Com merce and Finance. It presents some information regarding the submarine telegraphs of the world which Is espec ially interesting at this time in view of the prospective construction of an all American, cable across the Pacific. It shows that the submarine telegraphs of the world number 1.750. Their aggre gate length is nearly 200,000 miles; their total cost is estimated at $275,000,000, and the number of messages annually transmitted over them is more than 6. 000.000. All the grand divisions of the earth are now connected by wires, and from country to country and island to island the thoughts and words of mankind are instananeously transmitted. Be neath all oceans save the Pacific the universal' language which this system kaa created flows uninterruptedly, and man talks as face to face with Bis fel lowman at the antipodes. Africa now converses daily with I Europe or Amer ica, and the great events of the morn ing are known In the evening through out the Inhabited world. Adding to the submarine lines the land-telegraph sys tems by which they are connected and through which they bring Interior points of the various continents into instantaneous communication, the total length of telegraph lines of the world is 1.180,000 miles, the length of their single wires or conductors 3,800,000 miles, and the total number of messages annually sent over them about 400,000, 000, or an average of more than 1,000,000 each day. In the half century since the practi cability of submarine telegraphy was demonstrated, the electric wires have invaded every ocean except the Pacific. Nearly a score of wires have been laid across the Atlantic, of which no less than 13 now successfully operate be tween the United States and Europe, while three others span the compara tively short distance between South America and the African and south European coast lines. Throughout the Indian Ocean lines connect the far east with Europe and America via the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, tha western coast of Europe, and the great trans Atlantic lines. The Mediterranean is crossed and recrossed in its entire length and breadth by numerous cable lines, and the Gulf of Mexico -and the Caribbean Sea, are traversed in all di rections by lines which bring islands and colonies into speaking relations with each other and with South Amer ica, Central America, the United States, and thence with Europe. Africa. Asia the whole world. Along the eastern coast of Asia, cable lines loop from port to port, and island to island, receiving messages overland from eastern Eur ope via Russia-Siberian land lins and forwarding them" to Japan, China, Aus tralia, New Zealand, the Straits Settle ments. Hong Kong, and the Philippines, and receiving others in return. South America is skirted with cable lines along its entire border save the extreme south, where they are brought into in tercommunication by land lines. Afong the entire coast of Africa, cables loop from place to place and from colony to colony, stretching along the entire cir cumference and penetrating the inter ior by land lines at various points. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. There is not much enjoyment in love during August. Old age is so terrible an affliction that a great many die of it. What has become of the old fashioned horse known as a stump sucker? When there is a rain storm, and you want it to quit, how it hangs on! Be good, but don't be too good, or you will be a white elephant on your friends' hands. Most county towns have a choice be tween a creamery and a brass band, and take the band. We have no ambition to ride down the Ninth street incline in Kansas City, or fall down a coal mine. The Lancaster literary society de cided at a recent meeting that seven men out of ten are bores. If you are always quarreling with people about what you said on a pre vious occasion, it is a sign you talk too freelv. We are so mean that when we hear any one trying to be funny over a tele phone we are glad when the lines don't work, and he has to scream it. People sometimes pretend to be fooled, to oblige you, but if you try the same story on them a second time they are liable to give you a piece of their mind. Maybe you are somewhat like her: An Atchison woman had a certain sum of money for a trip out of town, and spent so much on a fancy trunk that she can't go. In a train robber play to be produced in Atchison this winter, one of the rob bers concludes that he wants the en gine of the train he has just held up, and rides off with it. What has become of the old fashioned man who gave his children board and clothes, but who thought that giving them spending money was helping them go to the devil? POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.1 Most women are afraid of a loose dog or a tight man. In trying to get his rights many a man goes at it the wrong way. Wise is the man who can give a wo man advice without incurring her en mity. Talk is cheap; yet some people will give up a dollar to hear a tiresome lec ture. Milk of human kindness is usually of a poor quality and little in the can. If poverty is ever abolished every bachelor will either have to marry or act as his own servant. Job evidently had no desire for fickle fame. He was in a position to win out as a manufacturer of profane history but ha didn't. It isn't until after a boy has celebra ted his 8th birthday anniversary that he begins to notice his father's ignoranca. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press.J No girl has a right to take a kiss from a man nad not give it back to him. The most successful discoverers are those who let other people do the search inc. There is nothing so foolish as tryln to tell the age of a woman by the age of her children. The mora a man hurts a girl hugging her the harder she wishes he could hug her without hurting her. A great many people in this world would be better -than they are if any body could make it as interesting to them as not being as bad as they might be. QUAKER REFLECTION'S.

Nell "rfe said I had such a bird-like appetite." Belle Yes; he runs an ostrich farm you know."

"It seemed to me," she replied, coyly, "it was saying 'woo.' SAILORS' CLUB HOUSE. Movement For One I Making Satis factory Progress. San Francisco, Aug. 26. The move ment In behalf of the establishment of a club house for United States sailors at Vallejo has progressed so satisfac torily that the committee In charge has felt justified in having designs prepared for the building. It will be situated on a lot opposite the Mare island navy yard on land purchased for that purpose with the prize money obtained by Capt. B. H. McCalla of the United States navy during the Spanish-American wai. which he set aside for this object. Among the other benefactors to the Vallejo club for sailors have been CoL R. M. Thompson of New Tork and Henry Phipps, a well known friend of mariners. The building will be 100 by 90 feet, three stories high, and arranged as a model club house with every mod ern convenience. BURT ARRESTED. President of U. P. Held Under Ten Warrants. Omaha, Aug. 26. President H. G. Burt of the Union Pacific was this af ternoon placed under arrest on ten war rants charging him Jointly with W. Arnett, an Indianapolis labor agent, with false imprisonment. President Burt went to police headquarters where he gave a bond of $1,000 for his appear ance at court tomorrow morning, at which time the case was set for bear ins. ENORMOUS POTATO CROP. Something About This Tear's Kaw Valley Production. The potato crop in the Kaw valley this year was something enormous. Edwin Taylor, president of the state board of agriculture, while In Topeka recently, told of a man bv the name of Siscoe, who lives near Llnwood, who dug seventy cars of potatoes from 80 acres. The cars ran from 450 to 500 bushels to the carload. This was up wards of 400 bushels to the acre. Luther Kindred, of Lenape, dug five cars of potatoes in one day with a single team and plow from five acres. This was about 2.300 bushels. The chief expense of a potato crop Is the d'gging, sacking, and shipping. It costs about eight cents a bushel to iig the potatoes, sack them and place thorn on cars. They brought on board the cals this yeor t.tout 23 cents a bushel. Shot Away All Her Ammunition. Washington, Aug. 28. United States Minister Bowen at Caracas, Venezuela, advises the state department by telegraph that a government warship recently ar rived at La Guaira reports that for two days she bombarded Ciudad Bolivar af ter which she withdrew, having exhaust ed her ammunition. South African Wants to Know. Secretary Coburn is in receipt of a let ter from Gilbert Taylor, of Pondoland, South Africa, making inquiries -about Kansas. Mr. Taylor says he Is thinking of coming to America and he wants to know "if there is ground for farmers in Kansas." Also how much land costs per acre, If there is any, and what can be raised on it. Mr. Coburn sent him some information on the subject. Bottles Will Be Higher. Chicago', Aug. 26. Prices of bottles will be raised from 10 to 15 cents a gross. This statement was made last night by L. L. Turner, president of the Western Green Glass Bottle associa tion, which has been in session in Chi cago, and which authorized the advance. He said the cause of the raise was the increased cost of production, due to the advance in the price of both labor and materials. The association includes eighteen of the largest manufacturers of the United States. Baldwin Is Cut Out New Tork, Aug. 26. William Zeigler of this city has confirmed the report that the relief ship Frithjof, which is believed to be at Franz Josefland, car ried an expedition party whose work will be distinct from anything that Baldwin may do. The Frithjof party, Mr. Zeigler said, is under the command of a thoroughly competent man, whose identity he is not at present ready to reveal. LOCAL MENTION.

Milton, of Garden City, is la menting over the loss of a fine umbrella he left at the Populist headquarters la3t week. It had his name on the handle, and he wants the man that took it to return it. Assistant City Attorney Ralston drew up the bond ordinances for the new sewers today. One of the ordinances provides for nine bonds of J70 each, and one of $41.20. The other calls for 20 bonds of $1,000 each, and one bond for $837.11. The French bakery at 815 Kansas ave nue was purchased Friday bv J. H. Martin. The residence, 229 Harrison street, owned by J.

Her guests were Miss Ruth Ellis and Miss Mildred Ellis of Emporia, Miss Jose phine Sullivan of Des Moines. Iowa, and Miss Frances Bressette, Miss Margaret Hanley and Miss Linna Bressette. The new grand stand at the fair grounds will not be insured by the county commissioners at present, as they do not wish to pay an 8-cent rate, the lowest offered by Insurance agents. Work will be pushed the next few days on extending the water main at the fair grounds to the horse stalls. This is necessary to furnish adequate fire protection during the coming state fair. Asa Ha worth and Allen B. Sayles. the former of Lawrence and the latter of Topeka, are taking the civil service ex amination today at the government building as applicants for government position. Mr. Haworth, dho is a broth er of Prof. Erasmus Haworth of the state university, the anti-gold shale man, wants to get an aDDointment as assistant examiner In the patent office, a position which pays $2,000 a year.

Gibb, an engineer at the Wolff Packing company's establish ment, caught his finger in the ma chinery this morning and had one of his fingers nearly torn to pieces. The rest of his hand was not injured. NEW GARBAGE PLANT. Com m Ittee Recom mend s That Another Be Licensed. Following the "Investigation" con cerning the condition of the desiccating plant made Monday afternoon, but not as a result of that investigation, the health and sanitation committee of the city council has voted to recommend t the council that a scavenger's license be granted to S. M.YEvans. This is a di rect slap at the existing plant, and was bitterly opposed by Councilman Nichols, the consistent friend of the plant. If the council grants the license, Mr. Evans will be permitted to establish a rival "desiccating" plant. As far as the "investigation" was con cerned, it was fully as large and volum inous a success as was anticipated. The plant was in apple pie order. It was cleaned and scrubbed and polished from top to bottom. There were no loud smells, no decaying dead animals in sight, no carcasses reposing on the river bank, and none of the unsavory things which, were there a few weeks ago, when the people of North Topeka filed their protest against the plant. So the committee reported unanimously that as far as could be ascertained, the plant is in sanitary condition, and recommend that the protest signed by 100 residents of the city be "filed." The owners of the plant have had nearly a month to fix things up since the protest was filed. Of the three members of the health and sanitation committee, Grlley and Tincher, voted in, favor of granting a license to S. M. Evans. Nichols of course opposed this move. Nichols has always opposed any plan which would terminate the monopoly which the present plant enjoys. The trip to the desiccating plant was made in the patrol wagon, and when the investigation had been made, the committee held a meeting instanter and voted to grant Evans the license. Mr. Griley and Mr. Nichols indulged in a heated argument on the case, but Griley stood firm in his position that Evans ought to have the license. If the. council votes to grant Evans the license, the only result will be that the present desiccating plant will have some competition, and the chances are that there will be a cut in the existing high prices for scavenger work. Instead of paying the "desiccating" plant t double price, the mask will be taken off, and no further pretense will be made to dispose of garbage according to recognized sanitary methods. Evans does not pretend to follow out the terms of the garbage ordinance. 'His propo sition as made to the council Is simply this: "The undersigned has made satisfac tory arrangements with the owner at land adjoining the Kansas river more than five miles from the boundary lim its of the city by which I can deposit and dispose of all night soil and gar bage that I may remove from the city, without in any way inconveniencing any person or creating any nuisance." The so-called "desiccating" works simply pipe the garbage into the river. No attempt is made to desiccate any thing except dead animals, and there is some .question as to what is done with th-em. In spite of all attempts to fix up some way of disposing of garbage in a san itary manner, it is a continual fuss and wrangle in Topeka. A satisfactory manner of doing the work has nevei been found. Councilman Nichols said today In speaking of the investigation of the plant: "The council has never made an In vestigation and found things otherwise than aLUht. It has Invariably set its seal of approval on the plant In view of that, it does not look right to me that it should give another firm a license to do business here, and take away all the profits from the existing plant. Con siderable money has been invested in this plant, and the Investors ought to be protected, not forced to meet this kind of competition. The plant is in good shape. It is too small. I know, to handle all the work, bat it is doing the best It can." TICKETS ARE SELLING. Topeka Fair Is Giving Evidence of Popularity. The advance tickets for the state fair during the week beginning September 8 are selling very rapidly. C. H. Sam son .treasurer of the Kansas Exposition company, today said that he expected the crowd at the fair to be as large as can be handled. "There will be plenty of water for people as well as stock." said Mr. Sam son. "Three new water mains are to be put in at an expense of $800, and all the stock stalls on the grounds will have water. If people over the state come in proportion to the way tickets are selling in Topeka there will be an enormous crowd. The entries today numbered over 100. This shows that the exhibitors will be there in numbers." The advance tickets will be sold for the next five days at 40 cents for single tickets; $1.60 for season tickets, admit ting to the week's performance.

TROUBLE OVER SIDEWALK. Monroe Street People Want Material in Old Walk Used. By order of Councilman W. F. Weber, chairman of the streets and walks com mittee of the city -council, the construction of the new sidewalk on Monroe street be tween Second and Third, has been held up because of a protest which the resi dents of that street are making. L. Wiseman, who lives in the sidewalk district, is the leader in the opposition. It is claimed that the city is tearing up a brick sidewalk which is in good condition and that instead of restoring the bricks which are now in the walk the city pro poses to lay an entirely new walk' and charge the property owners full price for it. According to the official records. this sidewalk in front of their numbers, was condemned last spring by Sidewalk Inspec tor Mattingly for the reason that it was "too low." Nothing was said about the material being in bad shape. The side walk is of old soft brick, which are badly worn, but which it is claimed could be used again. The people living on the street insist that it is not their fault that the walk is too low; that it was laid on grades furnished by the city and the city ought to place it on proper grades without cost. The city officials say that the walk was not laid on city grades and that the brick in it are worn so thin that they are worth less. The trouble will be investigated by the streets and walks committee and the coum cil will settle it. Excursion Bates via Bock Island System.

IT Police Judge Ma- gaw's Monday af ternoon reception for trouble makers and the troubled, the following took place. Samuel Mar tin, the man arrest ed at the Rock Is land depot as a pickpocket Satur day night, was dis charged, as no di rect evidence could be brought against him. He claimed to be a traveling man en route to Joplin, Mo. A truthful color was given to his statement by the fact that a traveling man's order blank was found among his belongings. Two boys giving the names of Hender son and Brown, arrested as vagrants, were the next to be introduced to hiz zoner. Henderson claimed to live in Lawrence, and said he was on his way to Lake View.

He also made no objec tion to practicing upon the pates of any of the numerous onlookers who ven tured to interfere.

'Lowell, brought here on an appeal from the circuit court of the U. S for the District of Colorado, held that the Colorado statute of limitation is void and in violation of the constitution of the U.

In 1901, action upon the judgment given in 18S5 was begun and judgment rendered in fa vor of the plaintiff for $9,050.16. When the judgment was obtained the cause of action was barred by the Colorado statute Of -limitations. Judge' Sanburn's decision was very lengthy and reverses the decls ion of the lower court.

"The Penitent" Opens at "The Crawford" Theater. The preliminary season of the Grand opera house was begun last night when Stater's Madison Square theater com pany opened their week's engagement in William Gillett's war drama "Held by the Enemy." To say that the house was crowded is putting it mildly. It was packed as full as a sardine box. Every seat was sold. The boxes were filled and people stood in the aisles of every floor. The doors were thrown open and the lobby was Jamnrig with those who could not squeeze inside. It was the largest audience that has been recorded in the Grand since Salvini, the younger, played "Hamlet." It was the sort of audience, in size, which greeted DeWolff Hopper in "El Capitan" when he referred to the steep pitched aisles as "toboggan slides." Long- before the time for the doors to open, the sidewalk and street were crowded with people waiting to crowd inside. It was a combination of circumstances which packed the house. The Stater company is regarded as a good reper toire organization, but besides that it was the first performance in the Grand since it has been renovated. The inter ior from dome to pit has been decorated. The stage has been equipped with new scenery. There is a brand new drop curtain and an extra amount of elec tric lights. The decorations and re modeling have not been completed and the last touch will not be given until the day before "The Sultan of Sulu" for mally opens the house on September 22. Although the transformation is not complete still the change is so great front the barn-like interior which the Grand formerly possessed, that the audience was well pleased. Here and there a bit of drapery will be hung, an other coat of the ivory finish will be griven the woodwork and some new car pets may be laid but the walls are tastefully tinted, the fronts of the boxes are touched with just enough gold to effect a glitter, the proscenium arch is a blaze of light and flowers and the cur tain is something of a decidedly new style. It is void of the yards and yards of painted red draperies which are sup posed to hang at the sides of drop cur tains. .The impression given by the curtain is of a large picture in a massive frame. It isn't the picture of a crap game nor a horse race, either, but of a pleasant rural scene of some idealistic locality which could only be found on canvas. The old scenery, which did service at the Grand for so many years, W gone. The new scenery Is of improved pat terns and styles. The street scenes are painted to suit the prohibition state. No saloons are shown but prominently in the foreground is a soda water empor ium and a hot and cold bath bouse. Another feature, which shows the im provement which has taken place at the Grand, was the piano. It was so nearly in tune that none but an expert could find fault with it. And besides being in tune none of the strings were miss ing. And still another feature was the programme, a large two sheet blanket affair with a picture of Dorothy Man ners" on the front and no warning that people must not expectorate on the floor. It used to be that programmes were a luxury. But to get back to the performance. The Stater company was good, very good, indeed. In Its class. To be sure there were a few small details in the way of dress which were at fault such as an officer wearing infantry trousers and cavalry blouse, a colonel with lieu tenant's shoulder straps and a sergeant who did not understand how to salute, but such faults are to be noticed only by the stickler for details. The com pany certainly gave a very creditable production of "Held by the Enemy." The costumes were fresh and the gen eral effect was quite military. "Viola Kibbe, the leading woman, possesses an excellent stage appearance and she handled the emotional lines of the part of "Rachael McCreery" very well. C. D. Cubine as "Lieutenant Gordon" and J. W. Bayley as "Colonel Prescott" were well received by the audience. And the Stater company introduced vaudeville features between the acts in metropolitan style. If the announcing of the turns by a card on an easel at the end of the stage adds frills to the stunts then they must "be called "vow- deville with the eastern twist. The vaudeville features were good and Mas ter Gordon Stater, advertised as the phenomenal boy soprano, scored the hit of the evening. He had to sing four songs. He went clear through his rep ertoire from "Little Boy Blue" to "I Got Mine." Master Gordon is not very large nor very old. He stands less than three feet in his stocking feet and has long, golden curls that would make Buckskin Bill ashamed of himself. Mas ter Gordon trudged to the center of the stage, made bis bow and commenced to sing. The fact that only the footlights were between him and the audience did not scare him one bit and he waded right in and sang without a waver. As ne sang ne gazea at me gauery, in spected the balcony from one end to the other and peered into the darkest cor ners of the first floor just like a child with a glass of water, drinking it, and looking over the rim of the glass at those around him. Master Gordon was so naively unconscious of the people in front of him that he scored the triumph of the evening. He was called back three times. The other vaudeville adts were awarded their share of applause. Tonight the Etater company will play "Won By waiting." AT THE CRAWFORD. "The Penitent" Baa Its Initial Per formance This Season. Hal Caine's "Penitent" was presented before a Topeka audience at the Craw ford last night. Mr. W. EL NankevlUe is the owner and this was the initial production for this year. The audience was large enonsh to make a creditable showing and if the coirrtany had done as well every one would have been bet ter satisfied. If Hal Caine could see the- olay' as presented by Mrr Nankeville he would probably have another score to settle with America. But Mr. Caine is a long way from Topeka and so Mr. Nanke ville and his players were in no imme diate danger from the author. "The Penitent" is the cheapest sort of melodrama"" There is a train wreck, a murder, the wronged woman and the villain who impersonates the hero and even the characteristic Hebrew. There is a church wedding which the villain rushes in just too late to. prevent and all the other requirements of a Bowery thriller. How such a play was ever evolved from one of Hal Caine's pro ductions passeth understanding. Perhaps it is not fair to refer to the fact that half the members of the cast continually stumbled over their lines. for this was their first trial. In the course of two or three weeks the piece' will probably go smoothly enough but no lapse of time can cure some of the imperfections in the cost. It would be strange if there were not some commendable features. Frederick Lane in the dual character of Paul Rlt- son and Paul Drayton made an Excel lent impression. He has a well modu lated voice and knows bow to use it and while his changes are not so rapid as those in the "Prisoner of Zenda" one of them is at least bewildering. Mr. Lane is a capable actor and he makes the best of bis opportunities. Myles Mc Carthy as Joeiah Bonnythorne, the shrewd and unprincipled lawyer baa a clever part and he makes the most of it. Mr. McCarthy has been seen in To peka before but never in a part to which he was so well suited as that of Jos la h Bonnythorne. W. F. Ryan as Hugh Ritson ought to take some Demos then- ean exercises for his articulation and he should also remember that he is sup posed to have a deformed leg. Charles N. Greene as Matthew Fisher was not bad but William Parson Christian was positively painful. Gerta Lowther in the person of Maud Claire Shaw was both pretty and competent and she knew .her lines. What little scenery used is old and threadbare. It looks as if it had been used 100 years ago and had been resur rected for the special occasion of the production of "The Penitent." which it may be remarked goes on the road as a standard priced attraction. If Mr. Nankeville is not careful he will have something serious to answer for. WILLIS WOOD IS OPEN. Kansas City's New Playhouse is Christened. Kansas City. Mo.. Aug. 26. Kansas City's new half million dollar play house, the Willis Wood, was formally opened here last night by Amelia Bins ham and her company, presenting H ad don Chambers' "A Modern Magdalen." In the company besides Miss Bingham were Henry E. Dixey, Wilton Lackaya. Hobart Bosworth. Ferdinand Goltschalk and Joseph Holland. The occasion was made brilliant by the attendance of Governors Dockery of Missouri and Savage of Nebraska and an audience comprising the fashion of this part ol the southwest. Previous to the open ing of the play short speeches were made by Governor Dockery, Walter Sanford, manager or the theater, ana others. Miss Bingham said: This is the most beautiful theater I have ever seen." The Willis Wood was built by Willis Wood of St. Joseph. Mo., at a cost of over 1400.000. to take the place of the old Coatea house, destroyed by fire two years ago. It is conceded to be one or the handsomest playhouses in the United States. THE MINERS ABE BUSY. The Fear of a Coal Strike September 1st Caused Activity. Pittsburg. Kas.. Aug; 26. The possi bility of a coal strike being declared September 1, one week from Monday, has had the effect of opening every mine to its full capacity. Mines which have been operated only two or three days a week are running all the time, and mines which have been closed all summer are working full force. Usu ally the coal business improves about October 1, on account of the increased demand occasioned by the approach of winter, but the present activity in coal mining is due to the possibility that a strike will be declared. Every railroad has commenced to lay up a supply of coal, iiivery coal company is tilling its yards. The anthracite strike may have some thing to do with the Increased demand for coal at present, but it is known that much coal is now being mined for fu ture emergency. Will Head Mills Expedition.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL.. TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 26. 1902. TO ENTERJIAINE. President Roosevelt Leaves Bos ton on Early Train For a Trip Through New Hamp shire to Pine Tree Capital. HIS TALK ON TRUSTS. He Has No Potent Remedy to Offer For the Affliction. Cure Can Come Only by Long and Persistent Effort. Boston, Aug. 26. After a night of re freshing sleep at a hotel in this city, President Roosevelt left at 8:35 o'clock over the Boston Maine road to con tinue his tour of New England. His first stop will be at Lowell, Mass. He will traverse New Hampshire to day, speaking at Dover, and going to Maine as far as Augusta, where he will be the guest of Governor Hill tonight. The week's work for President Roose velt in his trip through New England began in earnest, when he departed from the summer home of the junior senator of Massachusetts, Henry Cabot Lodge, at Nahant, and, amid the en thusiasm of the greatest number of people he has faced since the Pittsburg visit, on July 4, rode into Lynn under cavalry escort and spoke from a plat form at the city hall. Then he was taken to Boston by special train, and, on arrival, went to Sympnony nail, there addressing a great gathering of Boston business men. His speech here was devoted almost entirely to con sideration of the trust question. Prom the hall the president went to Hotel Touraine, where, a little later in the evening, he was the guest of Gover nor Crane at dinner. President Roosevelt's speech here was, in part, as follows: "I want to take up this evening the general question of our economic and social relations, with specific reference, to that problem with which I think our people are greatly concerning them selves the problem of our complex so cial condition as intensified by the ex istence of the great corporations, which we rather loosely designate as trusts. "But I wish to say one or two things as preliminary. In the first place, X have not come here to say that I have discovered a patent cure-all for the trusts. "It is -worse than useless for any of us to rail at or regret the great growth in Industrial civilization of the last half century. The practical thing to do is to face the conditions as they are and see if we can not get the best there is m them out of them. We are not going to get any complete or perfect solution for all of tse evils which come to our minds when we think of the trusts by any single action on our part. A good many different ways will be required before we get many of those evils even par tially remedied. We have got to, first of all, think clearly we have got to, prob ably, experiment somewhat. We must, above all, show by our actions that our Interest is permanent and not spas modic, and we have got to see that alt the steps are taken toward the solution Every one who thinks knows that the only way in which any problem of great Importance was ever successfully solved was by consistent and persistent effort toward a given end, effort that did not end with any one election or with any one year, but was continued steadily, temperately and resolutely. "It is a little difficult to set clearly before us all of the evils, and I think that those gentlemen, and especially those gentlemen of large means, who deny that the evils exist, are acting with great folly. I am far from being against property when I ask that the question of trusts be taken up. I am acting, in the most conservative sense, in prop erty's interest. When a great corpora tion is sued for violating any anti-trust law it is not a move against property, It is a move in favor of property, be cause when you can make it evident tiiat all men, big and small alike, have to obey the law, you are putting the safeguard of law around all men. When you make it evident that no man shall be excused for violating the law you make it evident that every man will be protected from violation of the law. "I am inclined to think that much the greatest trouble In any immediate hand ling of the question of the trusts comes from our system of government. Re member, I am not saying that, even if we had all the power, we could completely solve the trust question. Gentlemen, if what we read in the papers Is true, they are speaking of a number of interna- tionai trusts now. it would be very ainicuit tor any set of laws, on our part, to deal completely with a problem which becomes International in its bear ing, but a great deal can be done in va rious ways now. "A great deal is being done and a erreat deal mnrp f- n h rinnA i f i see that the power is put somewhere to ao it. un tne wnole, our system of gov ernment has worked marvelouslv well the system of dividing the functions of government, of arranging a scheme un der which Maine, Louisiana, Oregon, Idaho, New York and South Carolina can all come In togethsr for certain purposes, and yet each be allowed to work out its salvation as it desires along certain lines. But while I most firmly believe in fixity of policy, I do not believe that that policy should be fossilized, and if it is to be changed we must change our government method to meet it. "I believe with all my heart in the New England town meeting, but you cannot work the New England town meeting in Boston. Tou have got to try something else. Now, when this government was founded there were no great individual or corporate fortune. and commerce and industry were being .-an-ieu on very mucn as tney Mad been rrom tne days when Nineveh and -tsaoyion stood in the Mesopotamian val ley. The waeon and the nark train nnrt th sailing craft those were the meth, ods of commerce. Everything has been revolutionized in the business wni-ln since, and the progress of civilization, from being a trickle, has become a tor rent. There was no particular thing at that time to bother as to whether the nation or the state had control of the corporations. They were easy to con. trol. NOW. however, the Mart roverao ia the case, and, remember, I say 'corpor ations.' I do not say merely trusts, merely combinations of corporations or corporations under certain peculiar con ditions. "For instance, some time ago the at torney general took action against i certain trust. There has been consid erable discussion as to whether the trust aimed at would not seek to get out from under the law by becoming a sin gle corporation. I want laws to enable us to deal with It. no matter what shape It takes. I want to see the gov ernment able to get at It definitely, so that the action of the government can not be evaded by any turning, within or without federal or state statutes. "At present, we have really no' effi cient control over a big corporation (which does business In more than one state. Frequently the corporation has nothing whatever to do with the state in which it is incorporated except to get incorporated, and its actions may be taken in entirely different communities communities which may object very much to the methods or incorporation in the state named. "I do not think you can get action by any state or action by all the states, that will give us satisfactory control of the trusts or big corporations, and the result is at present that we have a great, powerful, artificial creation.which has no creator to which it is responsi ble. "Of course, it is merely a truism that the corporation is the creature of the state: that the state is sovereign. Now I want to make a real and not a nomi nal sovereign; to have some one sover eign to which the corporation shall be really, and not nominally, responsible. "At present if we pass laws nobody can tell whether they will amount to anything. Now that has two bad effects. In the first place the corporation be comes indifferent to the lawmaking body, and, in the next place, the law making body gets into the most per nicious custom of passing a law, not with reference to what will be done un der it, but with reference to its effects on the opinions of the voters. That is a bad thing. When any body of law makers passes a law not solely 'with reference to whether that law will do good or ill, but -with the knowledge that not much will come of it, and yet that, perhaps, the people, as a whole, will likely" think it was. good, it does not speak well for the lawmakers and it does not speak well for the people, either. What I hope to see is power given to the national legislature which shall make the control real. "It would be an excellent thing if we could have all the states act on some what similar lines, so that it would be unnecessary for the national govern ment to act, but all of you know per fectly well the states will not act on somewhat similar lines. "Nothing has been done in the direc tion of intelligent dealing by the states as a collective body with these great corporations. Here in Massachusetts you have what I regard as, on the whole, excellent corporation laws. I think that most of our difficulties here again remember I am not promising the millennium; it is not in my power to promise it would be in a fair way of solution if we had the power to put on the national statute books, and did put on them, laws for the nation much like those you have here on the subject of corporations in Massachusetts. "So you see, gentlemen, I am not ad vocating anything very revolutionary. I am advocating action to prevent any thing revolutionary. Now, if we can get adequate control by the nation of thesa corporations, then we can pass legisla tion which will give us the power of regulation and supervision over them If the nation had that power, mind you, I should advocate as stren uously as I knew how that that power should be exercised with extreme cau tion and self-restraint. No good will come from plunging in without having looked carefully ahead. "The first thing we want is publicity, and I do not mean publicity as a favor by some corporation. I mean it as a right from all corporations affected by the law. I want publicity as to the essential facts in which the public has an interest. I want the knowledge given to the accredited representatives of the people of facts on which those representatives can, if they see fit, base their actions later. The publicity itself would cure many evils. Some of these things I have said can be done now. A good deal is being done now. "As tar as tne anti-trust laws go. they will be enforced. No suit will be under taken for the sake of seeming to under take it. Every suit that is undertaken will be begun because the great lawyer and upright man whom we are so for tunate as to have as attorney general. Mr. Knox, believes tnat tnere is a viola tion of the law which we can get at, and when tne suit is undertaken it won t be compromised, excepting on the basis that the government wins. Or course, gentlemen, no laws amount to anything, unless they are ad ministered .honestly and fearlessly. Then, I believe 1 am not going to say I am sure of it but I believe it is possible to frame national legislation which shall give us more power than we have now, at any rate, over corporations doing an interstate business. I cannot guarantee that, because in the past it has more than once happened that we have got laws on the statute books which those who made them intend, to mean one thing, and when they came up to decls ion it was found that the intention had not been successfully put into effect. But I believe that additional legislation can be had. I think we have got to make up our minds to the fact that, no matter what our reverence for the past may be. our duty to the present and to the future will force us to see that more power is conferred upon the national administration. 'When the power has been conferred it will rest with the national govern ment to exercise it. At present we are going to do the best we can with straw less bricks, but remember they are bound to be strawless. Finally, men and women of New England, men and women or a state that represents so much, that is highest and best in the spirit of true Americanism, I ask you to remember that, after all has been done that can be done by governmental action; after you have exercised your best wisdom and exercised it in the most resolute and lofty spirit; after you have given all the needed power to the national government and after that power, has been exercised in the wisest and most resolute fashion. It will stil! Wheat and Pure Fruit Combined is an food because It possesses 100 per cent nutrition. It is entirely soluble and is absolutely absorbed by the various tis sue regenerators in one hour after being eaten. Lean beef is comraonlv accented as the most nutritious of foods. But consider its composition. It is the lower order of vegetame lite converted into animal flesh hence it Is vegetable food minus the en ergy consumed by the animal which uti lized it. As an article of food lean beef possesses 13.3 per cent of nutrition. The percentage of waste, therefore, must be 80.7 per cent. Moreover, it requires, ao chemistry tells us. about four hours to complete the process of digestion of lean beef by a normal stomach. CERO-FRUTO consists entirely of the choicest grains of wheat and the purest of fresh fruit. The elaborate and com plete process to which both the wheat and the fruit are subjected, eliminates tin undesirable waste. or by-products of each. Briefly stated, one pound of CERO FRUTO, eaten dry, equals more than five pounds of lean beef. And it is digested in lust one-rourtn tne time. CERO-FRUTO has not been placed upon the market as an experiment, neither is it advertised as a "breakfast" or "health food."

After those laws have Deen enact ed, after they have been enforced, it will remain true, here in this century, as it has been true in every century through out history, that the fundamental factor in each man's success in life must be that man's own character; the total sum of the qualities of truthfulness, earnestness, energy, thrift and business ability on his part. The state can not carry anv one. The state can not do as much for you as you can do for it. Under no circumstances will be possi ble by law to share convictions so that each man shall succeed.

Rob erts, director of the mint, has issued his final estimate of the production of gold fend silver in the United States during the calendar year 1901. Mr. Roberts- statement shows that during the year tne United States produced 3,805,500 ounces of gold, valued at $78,666,700, a decrease of $a04,300, or 0.634 per cent, as compared with the yield of 1900. Ten of the nineteen states and terri tories yielding gold showed an increased production, California leading with $1.- 075,200, an increase due entirely to the normal development of the mining in dustry. Nevada showed the material Grain of $957,600, which came largely from the newly discovered camp of Tonopap. In Nye county, although nearly every county in the state increased its pro duction. South Dakota also made a gain of $301,900; Idaho, $144,600, and Oregon, izs,4UU. The greatest decrease, amounting to $1,285,300. was in Alaska. This was due to the lateness of the season, which de layed the opening of the placers, and to litigation, which interfered with the de velopment of the industry. Colorado diminished $1,135,900. a fact explained by the decline in the grade of ores extracted, the tonnage having increased. The silver yield for 1901 amounted to 55,214,000 ounces, of the commercial value of $33,128,400, which was 2;433,00 ounces or 5 per cent, less than it was in 1900. The greatest gain, 1,493,200 ounces, was in Utah, almost all of which came from the Park City district. .Nevada. New Mexico and Washine-ton also made gains. The production of Colorado, owing to the decline In the grade of ores extracted, fell off 2,046.100 nne eunces; while Montana's yield diminished 1,063,700 ounces. Idaho's 886.- 200, and South Dakota's 58,200. ine total value of the precious metals produced by the United States in 1901 amounted to $111,795,100, which was $1, 964,100 or 2 per cent, less than the yiela for 1900.

Russian Minister of Finance and the Sugar Question. tCorrespondence of Associated Press. St. Petersburg, Aug. 2. The last note of M. Witte, the Russian minister of finance, to the foreign press on the sugar question has not been published in Russia. Among those Russians who have read it in foreign papers, it appears to have caused unbounded astonishment. M, Witte's conviction "that in this question tne powers will be guided by their in terests and not by what is rieht. and his threat. In case any increase of du ties is enforced against Russian sugar. that the Russian government will con sider itself free to disregard treaty stip ulations when it thinks tit," along with the system of guerilla tariff warfare he laid down, are considered as outwitting even the Russian finance minister. Rus sian critics of M. Witte point out that as the sugar convention will become ef fective after the expiration of most of the Russian commercial treaties, the finance ministery will be wise not to "take general, measures against the powers collectively," but to adopt "measures which will be the most ad vantageous for Russia in the special circumstances of each case." They also point out that about a year ago M. Witte was fulminating threats of what he would do in case Germany carried out her tariff policy, threats of which nothing more has been heard. Always a subject of lively interest. M. Witte and his financial system and policy, have lately more than ever en gaged the serious attention of Russian economists and men of affairs generally. They are filled with unconcealed mis givings when they consider the situation of the country after 10 years of his ad ministration and it is expressing mat ters mildly to say that the possibility of his plunging the country into a series of commercial conflicts lias caused downright alarm in wide circles of Rus sian public. The anxiety from his source would be intensified were it not suspected that M. Witte is indulging in a bit of bluff. Since M. Witte procures the closing of the imperial free economical society af ter over one hundred years of honored activity, his critics have been largely silenced, except in private conversation and in foreign publications. Lately, however, they have taken courage. St. Joseph and Return $2.35 via Santa Fe. Account Elks Fair. Tickets on sale August 25 to 30. Limit Slat. JELKS WINS.

Council Grove Han Takes a Shot and Injures His Wife. Council Grove, Aug. 26. Council Grove officers are up next to it. "Tom the Peeper" has had full sway here for nearly a year. He Is having all sorts of fun and the women all sorts of duck fits. It would take a page of the Journal to narrate his operations during that period. Some time ago he entered a a house and upon meeting the lady of the house who was alone he struck her in the mouth and she was in a serious condition for some time. Bloodhounds were employed to apprehend the villain but to no avail. More recently the wife of a barber saw him peering through the window and rushing to the bed where her hus band was sleeping whispered the fact to him. He reared up in bed half awake, seized a gun from under his pillow and took a shot at his wife. The ball struck her in the cheek inflicting a very serious wound. It was a miracle that she escaped death. LOST IN A FOG. Second Mate of a Fishing Schooner Disappears. San Francisco, Aug. 26. The fishing schooner Stanley which has returned from Bering sea, reports that on May 18 Second Mate Manuel Cadoza was lost during a storm in Bristol bay. His dory, waterlogged and empty, was picked up several days later. On June 8 four dories were hidden from sight by a dense fog. One of them, that or Martin Scofin, was never seen again and sconn is supposed to nave been lost. Another of the missing dories, containing John Quist, was picked up by the Stanley after an absence of four days and three nights. Quist was feeble from hunger and exposure. The other boats contained Hans Larsen and Olaf Olsen of this city who had shipped for the voyage out of curiosity to see the Arctic. They were lost in the fog for 10 days and nights. After being tossed about for four days they made land and lived on raw fish until picked up by the Stanley. ,i OLD TREATY WITH FRANCE Court Called Upon to Decide Its Con stitutionality. San Francisco, Aug. 26. The IT. S, courts have been called upon to determ ine the constitutionality of certain pro visions of the treaty between this coun try and France, proclaimed on August 12, 1853. The issue has arisen out of the imprisonment of F. Laberene, a French sailor, by Chief of Police Wittman in compliance with the request of French Consul General Henry Dallemagne, who Invoked, as authority' a clause of the treaty named which confers exclusive jurisdiction over affairs on French mer chant vessels on French consular offi cers. Ex-Governor James H. Budd, at the request of the sailors' union, applied to Judge De Haven in the U.

Forty-seven counties report increases aggregating 23, T08; 65 have decreased 26.947, three made no returns. Sedgwick county gained the most 3,396 followed by Allen, Montgomery and Bourbon, in the order named, and the smallest, 18, is in Hamilton.

PI "T J iJi?'- fit Kr" i"- FOR A SIXPENCE. By M. Quad.J It was in Sydney, said the ex-sailor, that I met with an accident that sent me to the hospital for a month, and there I met with an Old shellback who had spent nnost of his life In trading voyages. He had broken down at last and knew that his days were numbered, He tad brought with him to the hos pital as baggage a bundle wrapped in on old oilskin coat. So far as any of us could determine, the contents consisted of an old suit of clothes, and the pre cautions he took t-Hat no one should rob him seemed absurd. He insisted that the bundle should remain in his charge, and be carried it about with him by day and used it for a pillow at ulghL His name was recorded as John Kane, and his age as 50. I had been in the hospital about ten d.ye when Kane died. It was the rule fit that time, and perhaps is yet, to sell the effects of a deceased sailor at auc tion as soon as he is buriedthat is, of course, if it could not be ascertained tiiat he had friends near at hand. John Kane had said ti-at he had no friends. There ware about a dozen of us in the hospital at the time, and there was con siderable merriment over the sale. The bundle was not undone. The bidding began at a penny, and the bundle was finally knocked down to me for an Eng lish sixpence. Everybody had a laugh at ray expense, and I handed my "bar gain" over to an attendant to be laid away until called for. Four weeks later, when I left the hospital. I should have lorgotten it but for the good na. tured ridicule of tone of my fellow pa tients. My trading schooner had returned from a short voyage, and I went aboard with my bundle and opened it for the flrst time. I took from one of the pock ets of the trousers an old tin tobacco box w hieh I at first thought to b empty but when I sprung up the lid I found a folded ;.aper as large as a sheet of fools cp p. It wasn't writing paper, but a square piece cut from paper which had be:n usd to wrap up goods. It was, as 1 instantly saw, a rude chart or draw ing, one1, the writing was in pencil and di.-i'laytd a very poor hand. It rati: "North of Timor Laut about seventy three. Enter north bay. "Bring up line with three tall trees on highest point and in five fathoms. "Spring of fresh water to left of big rock on port bow." I was mate of the schooner, and I at once laid the paper before the captain. We got out a chart of the Panda sea. found the island of Timor Laut and then measured off seventy-three miles to the north. This brought us to Pope's island. Neither of us had ever landed there, but understood that the island was not inhabited. The instruction were to enter the north bay and brinw up at a certain spot. What for? The existence of a sprinsr was mentioned, but why should we go ashore? Unless there was something of value on or about the Island why had it been noted and the writing carried around by a sailer? Why hadn't the writer filled out the memoranda and given some point to start from or was his reference to the spring a hint in this direction? The captain and I talked the matter over and over, but could make it no plainer. It was natural under the cir cumstances that our minds should run to buried treasure. Indeed we couldn't get rid of the feeling that the sailor who had died in the hosyital had planted something of value on Pope's Island, and that being the case we de cided to have a try for it. What has tened our decision was a conversation overheard between two, sailors who had been at the hospital inquiring about Kane and his effects. I think it was on .the twenty-third day out of Sydney that- we entered the bay on the north side of Pope's island. It is about three miles long and at the spot where we dropped' anchor, accord ing to directions, it was not more than 600 feet across. We got in about mld jrenoon, and the-captain and I at once went ashore. The Malays who made up our crew were told that we were 'looking for What they call a "dream stone." They have legends pf such a stone and believe that whoever sleeps with it under his pillow will dream of a way to become very wealthy. On reaching the shore we found the spring, but as we stood be side it we looked at each other and asked what should be the next move. The island was thickly wooded, and we soon realized that we had better Cl. Ii t Been Concluded Along have hunted for a needle in a haystack at home. The chart mentioned three tall trees in a group -and the spring. We found the trees standing back a quarter of a mile from -the beach, with never mark of any sort on the trunks to fur nish us a hint. The spring was about 200 feet above high tide, but nothing around it furnished .the clew we were after. For a week after our arrival we had every man ashore on the hunt. We paced off so. many paces from the spring in every direction and then dug into the earth. We dug about the roots of the three tall trees and then at ten, twenty and thirty paces. When the tide was out, we dug up the beach in a dozen places. The island was finally explored in every direction, but we had our toilsome work as a reward. On the afternoon of the eighth day we gave it up. We did not doubt the exist ence of a treasure there, but we were satisfied that we couldn't lay our hands on it. We pulled off to the schooner about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and had there been any breeze we should have weighed anchor and put to sea at once, but it had fallen dead calm, and the day was a hot one. On getting aboard the captain and I sat down to luncheon, while the Ma lays went overboard for a bath and a frolic in the water. We beard them shouting and splashing, but we were glum. We'd made a failure of it and were financially "busted." Under such circumstances some one must be held blamable. The captain suddenly be gan to blame me for the biggest fool that ever lived, and in the course of a couple of minutes our conversation was a great deal hotter than the weath. er. We'd been "pards" a long time without a word, but were now on the point-of walking into each other tooth and toe nail when a wild yell from the Malays stopped ua "Nipped by a shark. Just as I expect ed!" growled the caotain as he made a dash for the deck. I followed, of course, and as I reached the quarter deck and looked over the four Malays were in the yawl, and one of them was holdintr up something for the captain's inspection. We both knew what it was before it was passed us to us. It was a pearl oyster, and a monstrous large one too. "Where did you find it?" asked the captain. "On the bottom." was the answer. "There is one great bed of them down there!" Five minutes later we had half a doz en more, and inside of an hour we had surveyed the bed and found our treas ure the treasure of John Kane's rude chart. In bringing up in five fathoms and in line with tbe trees we had an chored on the center of the bed. whv he had mentioned the spring we could not make out. unless it might be to save time bunting for it if in want of water. You may have seen something in print in reference to "the great Pone island find," as it was called. It was not the largest pearl ovster bed ever found among the western islands, but it was by long odds the richest. No hand had ever disturbed it, and the heaviest and largest shells ever seen by fishermen or traders came out of that bed.- At that depth of water it was no trick at all to bring up the shells, and the first dozen we ODened more than paid all the expenses of the trip. From an oyster in this bed which weighed eight pounds was taken what was afterward called the Blood nearl. It was one of the largest and finest ever placed on the market. We remained m the bay five weeks before exhausting the bed, and when ready to weigh anchor we had the schooner fairly loaded with mother of pearl shells. I doubt if so small a craft, outside of a Spanish galleon of the olden days, ever entered the harbor of Sydney with a more valuable cargo. No craft entered the bay while we were there; Dut, as we afterward discovered, we had only left it one day when three schooners, the crews of which had somehow sot a hint of the treasure, made their appearance, to find that nothing remained for them.

TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAI TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 26,1902. PINESfOR HIM. Kansas Man Has Caused Heart flatters in Lowell. Garden City Farmer's Fruitless Quest for a Wife. APPEALED TO POLICE. They Couldn't Help Him So He Gare Up. Auburn Haired Youn Woman Comes to the Rescue. PERSONAL If the Garden City gentle man who has been corresponding with the auburn-haired girl in Lowell, Mass., and whom he wants to make his bride, wll lcall on or address the State Journal, he may hear something to his advantage maxbe. Some girl in the old historic town or Lowell, Mass., has been playing havoc with the affections of a young farmer iwho lives in the vicinity of Garden City, Kan. He has represented himself, it Is alleged, as being quite wealthy and the object of adorable glances from the Garden City girls, but he has been im pervious to their charms and instead has been fascinated by an auburn haired maiden of Lowell. Just how the affair started the State 'ournal does not know, but after she had sent him a photograph which he supposed was of his Heart's Desire, and after she had promised to be his'n. or words to that effect, her letters sudden ly ceased and his remained uncalled for In the Lowell postoflice. Then he wrote to the Lowell police force, appealing for official aid in locat ing his fiancee. In that way the his tory of the case got into the Lowell newspapers, together, with a description of the girl. It was read by all the other girls In Lowell and some of the roman tic ones have been secretly sighing for the wealth of affection which the wealthy Kansas gentleman is wasting on the semi-arid air. Now comes a communication from another Lowell girl who says the de scription given is of herself and she thinks the first Lowell girl must have had her in mind when writing the de scription to the Kansas man. She evi dently wants to "sub" for the first girl" and thinks she can take the place of the first one in his affections. The State Journal has her name and address but she wants them kept secret until "the man" calls for them. Here is her let ter: "To whom it may concern: "What seems to be a tangled mystery may now be solved in a few days. "For the past few days there has been an advertisement in one of our Lowell papers In regard to a young lady of this city corresponding with a wealthy farmer in Kansas. "This young lady, it seems, gave this young man a description of me, but not letting on but what it was herself all the time, she gave another name and by what I understand sent a picture of some person or actress and onlv did It for a joke, as she is engaged or keeping company with a gentleman in the east,, eo f.he did not send her own picture or mine. She is between light and dark, and slender, and about 5 feet 7 inches all, and does not wear glasses. I am 5 feet 7 inches tall and weigh 140. I am 22 years. That is her age too. "I may be misjudging this young lady but I have reason to believe it is the same man as she told a lady I know about a gentleman in the west who she is writing to and he was a farmer and has particular regards for ladies with red or auburn hair. "As there has no one called I thought I would write but not wanting my name .to be made public I kept away from headquarters here until I see further, but I do not know the name she gave or the gentleman's name, only I know he lives in Kansas somewhere. "I wear glasses and I have a very heavy head of curly auburn hair. I wish that the Kansas papers will please copy this for I want to find this gentleman who cares so much for blondes. "I will give my name so if he is found he can get it from you. but only the initials may be used at the bottom of this. M. E. R." "P. S. I only wish it to reach the cities in Kansas, for he is in Kansas somewhere. Keep my name a secret until this farmer seeks it and can give some details. I understand he is a man about twenty-eight or thirty." The Lowell Sun contains the follow ing account of the case: "The story of the wealthy western farmer's correspondence with the pretty Lowell girl and his letter of Inquiry which he sent to Superintendent of Po lice Moffatt, asking the chief of Lowell's bluecoats to hunt the city high and low for his lovely treasure, has excited con siderable interest. Speculation is rife as to who the dear girl may be. "The Sun knows the name over which Bhe corresponded, but it is undoubtedly a fictitious one. The wealthy westerner, however, is decidedly in earnest. He says that he has more money than he knows what to do with; he has wealth galore and a farm so large that the people in Garden City, Kansas, near where the farm is situated, call it a ter.. ritory. The Garden City girls make goo-goo eyes at the territorial farmer when he rides into town behind his high steppers, but he looks neither to the right nor left. He has lived the life of a bachelor for many years, and admits that he was so much pleased with the Lowell girl's train of thought and tone of speech that a girl in Garden City, to whom he had deigned to smile upon on account of her loveliness of form and features, was made to look like the shadow of an old thought in the pres ence of a letter from the girl whom he Is now thinking about, dreaming about, No true woman's and whose whereabouts be has asked our genial chief of police to help him ascertain. "A woman called at the police station. Sunday and asked concerning the letter which the superintendent had received from the Kansas man. The superin tendent told the woman that the letter was a private one, but that he was will ing to answer any questions that she might see fit to ask. 'I saw the story in the Sun,' she said, 'and I was forced to believe that the girl was my niece. The description tal lied very closely, and I was always o the opinion that she was corresponding with some rich man whom she had never een.' 'We have a photograph of the wo man whom the wealthy farmer is seek ing," said the superintendent, 'and I will show it to you if you wish." 'I would like to see it,' was the mild reply. "The photograph was produced and the woman saw at a glance that it was not her niece. "The young woman who is responsi ble for swamping a road Into the sym pathetic Journal of the Kansan's heart works told him that she roomed near the Western Union Telegraph office in Central street. "He had received notice from the postoflice authorities in thi city, how ever, that the last dozen or so of his letters remained in the postoflice here uncalled for, and in the darkness of his distress he turned to the head of our police department for assistance. "That the man is In earnest can hardly be doubted. 'She is my prom ised bride,' he' says in the letter, and he also states that he has not in any way misrepresented himself or his property to the girl, who by her pretty speeches and pretended earnestness won the old man's heart. He gives bank upon .bank for reference as to his financial stand ing and as to character he is willing to stake his wealth that it is unsullied as a May flower. "Although there is considerable of the every day newspaper romance reflected in this story, there still remains the fact that this young woman did communi cate with the man in the west. She did succeed in making him believe that she was in earnest; she even went so far as to tell hiru that she cared not for his millions; that all she sought was the love of a good, true man. "He believed what she said and In re sponse to her cooing he told her of a heart that was pining for true affection. He told her that he knew she was his affinity and that he was willing to lav ish his wealth as well as his love upop her." SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS. Ringling's circus will be in Topeka, September 23.

To the Editor of the State Journal: One of the many pleasant diversions at the Maple Hill camping grounds is a boat ride up to Buffalo Mound. A party composed of Topeka and Maple Hill people made a delightful trip Sunday to this interesting mound. We walked about a mile from camp to reach our boat, even after that hav ing a good long mile and a half ride before us. We took our dinners with us, for weknew that, although we had started at half-past eleven, we would not get back much before seven. We stopped now and then to pick wild grapes hanging in clusters over the creek; to fill our jug with water; to slay a frog here and there on the bank and to peer into the fragrant dinner baskets; and, In spite of our having made so many stops, we reached the foot of the mound at two and set out our lunch, and right here so many things went against us. First, one of the party saw a water moccasin coiled on a rock above the bank and straight way threw a rock at it. The snake made a direct line for the water and "barely escaped" running right under one of the girl's clothing. Then another of the girls, in her efforts to find a suit able fiat rock to sit on. threw a stone against the water jug and sent it crash ing down the hilL One of the loaves of beef went rolling down; the pickles were tipped over; lemonade spilled; in fact, we began to think we would either have to go without our dinner or would have to eat it at the foot of the hill. After having waited an hour at the most for water to drink, we ate and then started for the mound on foot. We were unable to go any further by boat. The view around the country from the mound Is lovely the different shades of green, the richness of the tilled ground, the slopes of the surrounding hills resembling vast pyramids, the I cows moving like snails. Off to the east, we saw, through a blue mist,' the state house dome. We sat on the hot stones and engraved our names on pieces of wood and rocks and looked for other names with which we might be familiar. We rode back in the stillness of the evening the sun was setting; the air was cool all lending a subdued charm in contrast with the sterner beauty of the mound. We were cool and rested when we came to' the Falls, our landing place.

For sev eral hours after midnight last night the searchlight of the army station at Na patree Point, off Watch HilL, exchanged signals with a. light at Fort Trumbull, New London; presumably conveying in formation to the army officers regarding preparations for the war game between the army and navy which is to begin next Friday at midnight. Summer resi dents of this island have for weeks been deeply interested in the plans for the maneuvers and the presence of a large camp of artillerymen among whom the strict dicipline of actual war time is al ready enforced, has of late added to that Interest.
