LAST EDITION SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 6. 1902. SATURDAY EVENING. THREE CENTS. POLITICAL GOSSIP Troy Chief Makes Charges Against F. J. Close. Claims That Me Too Was Once Short. DIDN'T PAY OVER FEES The Shortage Was Afterward Made Good by' Him. Items of Interest About the Political Stars. The Troy Chief alleges that Colonel Fred J. Close, fusion candidate for lieu tenant governor, has a record similar In some respects to that of Thomas T. Kelly, though not so extensive. It charges that while he was clerk of tha district court of Doniphan county he collected and used for his personal use J174 in fees which belonged to the coun ty; that it was not discovered until about ten years after Colonel Close went out of office; that the county com missioners then demand that he pay over the fees which belonged to the county, and he compromised by paying It is not claimed that there were any forgeries, duplications, or "raised war rants" in the case of Close, as there was in the Kelly embezzlements. It is sim ply alleged that Close collected fees and failed to turn them over to the county treasurer. If this be true, there may be a chance for independent action In both political 'parties. Whilethe officefor which Colonel Close is a candidate is of little importance to the state from a financial standpqint. there is no reason why a dishonest man Bhould be elected to it. There Is a possibility that the lieutenant governor may be called upon to become governor. At any rate the voters of Kansas would like to hear from Colonel Close on the subject. The Chief tells of the transactions as follows: "The old timers here will recall the history of Mr. Close. He was elected clerk of the district court of Doniphan county in 1878, 1880 and 1882. He was elected county attorney in 1884 and 1886. A candidate for a state office in a recent explanation' makes the plea that ex perts examined his books, found noth ing that would indicate that he was guilty of any peculations from his county, therefore, he is not guilty of charges now made and proven by the evidence of his own hand. His case is very similar to that of Mr, Close, in this county. Ten years after Mr. Close had closed his books as clerk of the district court of this county, it was discovered that he was a defaulter: t-iat he had received moneys belonging to the county and kept them for his private use. The story of his peculations is shown by the following, from the minutes of the meetings of the board of county com missioners of Doniphan county: 'October 7,1890 Ordered, that the dis trict clerk be and is hereby instructed to report to the county commisisoners all witness, jury and stenographer's fees that the records of his office show should have been paid into the county treasury during the past ten years. Signed, W. H. Forncrook. county clerk, by Minnie Schletzbaum, deputy. iOctober 7, 1891, the following appear in the records of the proceedings of the county board: 'The clerk of the district court pre sented a report of the amount of juror's fees due the county from F. J. Close and E. R. Westfall, in compliance with the order of the board made October 7, 1890; and the county attorney was -directed to make a demand of each of the parties for the amount due as shown by said report. Signed, W. H. Forncrook. county clerk, by Minnie Schletzbaum. deputy. "January 4, 1892, the following ap pears in the recorded minutes of the proceedings of the county board: 'The county attorney was authorized to accept of F. J. Close $126, the amount offered by Mr. Close in a compromise of the claim filed against him October 2. 1891. Signed, W. H. Forncrook, county clerk, by Minnie Schletzbaum, deputy.' "The clerk's report was made by D. P. Delaney, clerk of the district court. It Is itemized, and shows that Mr. Close was indebted to the county in the sum of $174 for jury's fees collected and re. tained by him which should have been paid to the county treasurer. The re port gives the" title of each case, docket page and the amount due the county from Close. "January 5, 1892. there was filed for record this report, made by A. S. Brew ster, county attorney: 'Collected from F. J. Close $126, in futt payment of the within claim, and paid same into the county treasury, less 5 per cent, commission. Signed, A. S. Brewster, county attorney.' "At the time of the payment of the money due the county, Mr. Close made a good deal of talk about 'political per secution'; that he did not owe the coun ty anything, and that the records had been changed. But the payment of the amount "in compromise' was a confes sion of guilt, and that he was guilty is the belief of every honest thinking man In the county." Concordia, Kan., Sept. 6. Republican leaders in Cloud county have become alarmed at the fight made on T. T. Kelly, and several of them have openly expressed their views that he will run from 300 to 500 votes behind his ticket in the county. George Burroughs, editor of the Empire and Blade, is defending Kelly, but the voters will not accept his defense, and they say that unless Kelly proves each specific charge false they will not support him. They say that the records speak louder than Kelly and a general denial does not disprove the records nor show where they are at fault. One postmaster of Cloud county will refuse to support Kelly, but does not desire to have his named used. Congressman Jackson of the Third district will make no more political speeches for a time. After making a speech at Mineral Thursday night he stepped off a sidewalk and fell in such a manner as to break his lee. It will probably take several weeks before the Injured member will sufficiently heal for him to resume his canvass. The Wamego Times, whose editor Is a personal acquaintance of T. T. Kelly, and who asked the Pottawatomie coun ty delegation to give Kelly some of its votes in the state convention, this week takes down Kelly's name from its state ticket. It says: V "The Times, whose editor is a person al acquaintance of T. T. Kelly, candi date for office of state treasurer on the Republican ticket, is disappointed in Kelly's statement that has been due ver aince the state convention, but which seemed difficult for Kelly to is sue. "We attended the Wichita convention and upon a personal appeal from Kel ly, made while the vote was being taken for treasurer," asked the Pottawatomie county delegation to assist him. Kellv claimed that we should give him some votes because his wife was from Potta watomie -county-she having once re sided in Wamego. We so suggested to the delegation, and at the same time introduced Kelly to some of the dele gates. When the vote was called the delegation divided, some being against Kellv. "Since the convention the county commissioners of Miami county, where Kelly as county clerk has been found to be short in his accounts over $1,300 which he ha paid back to the counb-, made a statement that cannot be other wise than conclusive, condemning Kelly and there is but one thing for the Re publican voters of the state to do. and that is to demand that Kelly's name be taken from the ticket and another sub stituted. We aav this in all kindness to Kelly. It cannot but jeopardize the result of the election. And as a good Republican Mr. Kelly should see the handwriting and quietly submit. It's his only way out. Defeat stares him in the face. We take his name from tUe ticket." In his recent "explanation" Mr. Kelly places special stress on the fact that his books were examined by W. H. Moore, a special accountant, about the time he went out of office, and were found cor rect. The Ellsworth Messenger throws some light on the efficiency of Moore in making an investigation in Ellsworth county about the same time he did in Miami. It says: "The W. H. Moore referred to by the commissioners of Miami county is the same person who made an alleged in vestigation of the records of this comi ty about nine years ago. He came here upon some one's recommendation; made a contract with the commissioners, and proceeded to investigate by employing j an assistant or two io neip mm in run ning over the books. After two or three months' work he submitted a report December 20, 1894, showing the accounts in the treasurer's office to be correct. A few months later Geo. Levitt, county treasurer-elect, accepted the office from his predecessor, and took a due bill for an acknowledged shortage of $9,800. "An examination of the treasurer's ac counts made in November, 1894, less than a year after Moore had resorted all correct, disclosed a shortage of $36, 000. "Yes. the people of Ellsworth county know W. H. Moore and are not sur prised at his work in Miami." The Democratic state committee has been assured that W. J. Bryan will make five speeches in the Kansas cam paign this fall. There will of course be a great clamor for these five dates. The committee will endeavor to piace Mi. Bryan where his .speeches will do them the roost good. A formerly of Kansas girl. Miss May Scott, has been nominated by the Re publicans of Idaho for state superin tendent of public instruction. She was born in Allen county, where she grew to young womanhood. She graduated from the state normal at Emporia in 1892, and afterwards went to Idaho to teach. She has served during the past two years as a county superintendent, and is now nominated for a state office. All the state officers, candidates on both state tickets, all state senators and candidates for the legislature have beert invited to attend the inauguration of Di. Frank Strong as chancellor of the state university. Advance proofs of the Republican hand-book for the state campaign thi3 year have been issued, and the book itself will soon be published. James A. Kimball, member of the Re publican state central committee; John L. Bishop, chairman of the Saline coun ty central committee, and C. B. Kirt land, Republican nominee for represen tative from that county, were in To peka yesterday conferring with Chair man Albaugh with reference to cam paign speakers. They especially wanted to make dates for Bailey and Henry Allen to speak at Salina. Allen, is ex ceedingly popular up there. Indications are breaking out here and there along the Republican river that Gomer Davies will soon be back within the Republican ranks.. It would not be at all surprising if there will be an oc casion for killing the fatted calf on the occasion of the next Kansas Day ban quet. It is rumored that Col. Davies is still holding his allegiance to the Popu lists of Cloud county owing to his friendship for some of the candidates on the county ticket. He has cut loose from the state organization, and his brother Republican editors in northern Kansas are getting ready to welcome him back into the Republican party af ter election. Some time ago before the Farmer's Advocate had its late unpleasantness with the secretary of the Populist state central committee and cut loose from the Populist organization, it asked Sen ator Peffer what was calculated to be a series of embarrassing questions. Sen ator Peffer answered them in a straight forward manner, and as the position of the Advocate has shifted somewhat it gladly publishes his replies. He says in part: "Your reference to the late Kansas Democratic platform as a thoroughly Populistic document, argues too much. In the first place, if it is an honest statement of Democratic sentiment is there any good reason why the Demo crats of Kansas should not unite with the Populists, seeing that their num ber is comparatively very small Oh the other hand, the Democrats having earlier held their convention and adopt ed their platform, why don't the Popu lists, who agree with them and endorse their creed, vote with them without fussing over it? Why go to the trou ble and expense of maintaining two party organizations when one platform answers for both? "You ask me to tell the readers of the Advocate about my relations with the Republican party: Well, in the first place, the Republican party does not owe me anything and hence I do not ask it for anything. I have done the party as much harm, probably, as any other one man, and it paid me back in abuse and ridicule. We are even on that score. But the war for Cuban in dependence brought some new and very grave questions forward, and in the campaign of 1900, the Democratic party made an Issue or tne administration s way of handling them. The People's party took the Democratic side. I be lieved the administration was right and ought to be sustained; I believed, the Democratic party was "wrong and ought to be defeated. Hence I volunteered my services to the chairman of the na tional and state (Kansas) Republican committees to assist in defense of the government, expecting and receiving' no return other than payment of expenses. I was sent into five different states and delivered thirty-five speeches. 4 I was Continued on Page Two. ON TIME. President Roosevelt's Train Ar rives in Wheeling, W. Va. He Still Carries a Black Eye and Swollen Cheek. FROM THREE STATES The Feople Gather to Welcome the Nation's Head. He Addresses an Enormous Crowd From Hotel Balcony. t Wheeling. W. Va., Sept. 6. President Roosevelt and party arrived over the Baltimore Ohio on time at 8:10 this morning from Washington. He was greeted by a vast crowd at the depot and smiled his appreciation despite his badly discolored face. His right cheek was rather badly swollen and his left eye showed signs of discoloration. Mayor Sweeney, President Laughiin and Secretary Birch of the board ot trade; Postmaster Hall and Councilman Waterhouse formed a committee which received the president. The entire party, which embodied Secretary Cortelyou, secret service men and a staff of correspondents, entered vehicles and were driven to the McClure house, headed by a military band. Throughout the entire route enthusiasm was rife, the streets being lined with the people from western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia. At the hotel the chief executive met a delega tion of prominent citizens of Wheeling; introduced by Senator Nathan Bay Scott. President Roosevelt seemed in a very jovial humor and joked with his newly-made acquaintances. He address ed an enormous crowd from the balcony of the hotel, standing where he had range of three different states. He spoke long beyond his scheduled time hich necessitated the curtailment of the regular programme. The president said in part: "My Friends and Fellow Citizens: It is a pleasure to come to your citv. I wish to thank the mayor and through the mayor all of your citizens for the way in which, upon your behalf, he has greeted me and I wish to state that it is a special pleasure to be introduced by my friend. Senator Scott, because when he gives you his word, you do not have to think about it again. "I am glad to have the chance of say ing a few words here in this great in dustrial center, in one of those cities which has felt to a notable degree the effect of the great period of prosperity through which we are now passing. Probably never before In our history has the country been more prosperous than it is at this moment and it is a prosperity which has come alike to the tillers of the soil and to those connected with our industrial enterprises. Now, gentlemen, every period has its own trouble and difficulties. A period of ad versity, of course, troubles us all, but there are troubles in connection with the period of prosperity also. When all things flourish it means that there is a good chance for thiiurs we do not like to have flourish just exactly as there is for things that we do like to have flourish -and a period of great national material well-being is unavoidably one in which human minds are turned to the way in which those interested in the management of the gigantic capitalistic corporations, whose growth has been so noted a period of the past half century, flourish. "We have grown to speak of certain corporations rather loosely as trusts us ing the word in its usual and common significance of a big corporation usually doing business in several states at least, beside the state in which it is incoroor ated. It seems to me that in dealing with this problem of the trusts tner haps it would be more correct to call it a groop of problems) we have a class all of our fellow citizens. One is com posed of those men who refuse to admit that there is any action necessary at all. The other is composed of those men who advocate some non-effective action, or if effective, would be effective only by destroying everything good and bad connected with our industrial develop ment. In every governmental process, the aim that a people capable of self government should steadfastly keep in mind, is to proceed by evolution rather than by revolution. On the other hand every people that has self-government must beware of this fossilization of mind which refuses to allow of any change, as conditions change. At the conclusion the party re-entered the train of carriages and were driven over a route of the principal thorough fares of the city. The decorations were of an elaborate and festive order. All along the route vast crowds cheered the president to the echo. The party was driven to the southern portion of the city where the Baltimore Ohio special was boarded and the trip to the south continued, t RQSEHILL GAVE UP. Took Advice and Abandoned Claim to Marcos Island. Washington. Sept 6. Acting Secre tary Adee has been informed by the Japanese legation here that Capt. Rose- hill, who undertook to lay claim to Marcus island and take possession, ar rived on that island on July 30 last. He was met there by a Japanese warship, the commander of which handed to him the letters addressed by the state de partment, pointing out the advisability of his avoiding any forcible demonstra tion to support his claim. The captain accepted these letters as sufficient and left the island about a week later. He has not lost any right he might have had, according to the state department and if he has any just claim it mav be pursued to a conclusion in the usual diplomatic channel. Donohue and Powell Sign. St. Louis, Sept. 6. Secretary Hedges announced today that he has signed Frank Donohue and Jack Powell to pitch for the St. Louis American League baseball club during the season of 1903. New Player for St. I oaia. Nashville. Tenn., Sept. 6. Manager Fisher announced today that he had sold War Sanders, the Nashville south paw Ditcher to the St. Louis STatknai league club. Sanders will join the Car dinals next year. The Trice paid for Sanders', release was conditioned upon the showing which, he made with the big leaguers, and was not mar!e public. For the first three months of the sea son Sanders led the pitchers of the J Southern league. Out of his first 20 games he lost only two, and his show ing was considered phenomenal. His arm gave down from the Irequent calls which were made upon him, but with a short rest and light work he is now, in better condition than he was before. DIDN'T WANT THE JOB; How Albany Became" Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. London, Sept. 6. How the duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha secured Ms ruler elect is told by a correspondent of Out look who quotes a young relative who was at Eton with Prince Arthur of Con naught, the rightful heir of the duchy, and the duke of Albany, now duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. What happened the day the news of Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha' s death was an nounced is best told in the young Etonian's own words: "Connaught met Albany who was a jolly good chap and much more-popular than Connaught, and said to him: 'look here. You have heard, I suppose, that they want me to go off to Germany and be duke of Coburg?' 'Tea," said Albany. 'Well, continued his cousin, 'I am go ing into the British army and I am not going to turn German. So that's all about it. You ean go and be duke of Coburg. It will just suit, you." 'But,' said Albany, 'I do not want to to to Germany and I do not want to leave :ton 'Look here, young chap," said Con-naue-ht. who ia a vear or two older, you've got to be duke of Coburg and it is no use talking rot. Next Sunday you are going up to Wnsor to lunch with grandmam ma and mind you, tell her it's, all right, and that you agree. If you do not, look out for squalls and take care I don't kick you jolly well all around the school yard.' "So, of course, Albany had to give in, because he is supposed to be a rather de licate chap ana connaugnt coma nave easily kicked him if he had wanted to." MR. WARE IS HERE. U. S. Pension Commissioner Reaehes Home Today. Eueene F. Ware. United States pen sion commissioner, arrived from Wash ington this afternoon. Mr. Ware does not look as u tne cares of office were resting heavily on his shoulders. He is in the best of health and looks as if he had experienced no troubles since leaving Topeka. Mr. Ware first went to his law office and then drove to his home. He will return to Washington next week when his family will accompany him. SAYS SHE IS MISTREATED.

PRESIDENT SUGGESTS A WAY OUT Philadelphia, Sept. 6 The Record prints an interview on the coal strike with President Roosevelt, who passed through this city on his way to Wash ington. The president- is quoted as fol lows: I am grieved beyond measure at tin- difficulty in Pennsylvania and other coal producing states over the wage and kindred questions. 'What remedy is at hand? he was asked. There is a remedy," said the presi dent. 'Do you mean that -the government of the United States can interfere other than as a law preserving body? No, replied the president emphat ically. 'What can be done?" was then asked him. 'I would refer you to the men at the head of the Republican party who are in control of affairs In Pennsylvania. I am sure that their conservative opinion of the difficulties rampant will ultimately result in an amicable settlement of this great question. Of course politics do not enter ihto the mining problem, yet l sincerely hope that the Republican principles which are framed alike for high and low will level the problem to an equity."

The downpour Friday afternoon re sulted in 78 hundredths of an inch of rain falling in the government rain cause in 15 minutes. It did not equal the record made in August, when 73 hundredths fell in 10 minutes. The rain was a little unexpected, but it was just as wet as if it had been an nounced, and many people were caught unprepared and were soaked. The fore cast sent out today by the government is "Fair tonight and Sfunday," but as Friday's forecast said nothing about rain, today's forecast is not a guarantee of dry weather. The corn and wheat re gion bulletin for the 24 hours ending this morning at 7 o'clock shows rain at eight Kansas stations. The report 19 as follows: Stations Max. Min.

Says He Will Seek Vindication from American Congress. New York, Sept. 6. Charles F. W. Neely, .formerly director general of Cuban postal service, who' was arrestea and convicted of embezzling Cuban pos tal funds some time ago, and sentenced to a term of Imprisonment in Cuba, ar rived here, from Hoffman island, where, together with a number of other pas sengers of the steamship Morro Castle, he had been quarantined since last Monday. Neely said that his plans, a yet, were very undecided. "Before I do anything," he said, "I shall see my lawyer, John D. Lindsay. After that a statement may be issued. As regards my future movements, a great deal depends upon the result of the coming investigation of congress as to whether the expenses of Mr. Rath bone and myself were illegal or not. Recently the United States government made Inquiry of the Cuban government as to what it wished to do in the civil action pending against Mr. Rathbone and myself. The reply of the Cuban government, now taking Its slov course through diplomatic channels, was thai Cuba recognized no civil responsibility with regard to either of us. If Cuba has no case against us, the United States surely has not. I shall stav in this city a few days, and then go on to wasnington. i nope to return to Ha vana soon after my case has been set tled." BURNED 80 CARS. Fire Breaks Out In Grand Trunk Railway Sheds.

"That story originated in the fertile imagination of Al Rankin," be said today to a reporter for the State Journal. "Rankin wasn't in Chicago that week at all and he wanted to have some fun at my expense when he start ed the story that a .'gold brick' shark saw me first. I didn't have an oppor tunity presented to me to invest at all.

OUT OF THE FRYICG PAH Colonial Secretary Chamberlain J amps Into the Fire. Efforts to Find Faror With the Boers Cause Jealousies. SCORED BY LOYALISTS. He Is Handicapped by Fear of Provoking a Storm. Experiences Great Difficulty in Maintaining Harmony. London, Sept. 6. Nothing Important, it is believed now, is likely to ensue as a result of the conference held yesterday at the colonial office between Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and the Boer generals, Botha, DeWet and Delarey. There may be, however, slight modifi cations of the plans outlined for the re settlement of matters in the annexed territories, but these will be in the na ture of internal changes, more interest ing to political economists than to the world at large; and even these will only occur after Mr. Chamberlain shall have consulted with Lord Milner, British high commissioner in South Africa. What transpired at yesterday's con ference is little more than what hap pens when one of the members of the cabinet receives a trade or other delega tion in support of its particular views. No topic really vital to the conquered republics, so far as their relations to the outside world are concerned, could be admitted to discussion. Such points were irrevocably settled when the term of peace were signed. The concessions which the Boer generals urged Mr. Chamberlain to make were almost vital ly important to individual Boers, espe cially to land-owners, but of compara tively small importance to the rank and file In England except to those who through Investment or otherwise are di rectly concerned in South Africa.. Except for the breaking of precedents hamper ing Lord Milner or antagonizing the 11b eralists of Cape Colony and Natal, It may safely be said that Mr. Chamber lain might easily have conceded all the generals asked. These exceptions, how ver, involve so many wheels within wheels that discussions are likely to be protracted with a result that will com bine as much of a compromise as is con sistent with the imperial dignity.. These half-way courses and undramatic de nouements do not enter Into the reckon ing of the English public, whose Imagi nation has been unusually fired by ac counts of Friday's conference. Nothing has" so forcibly brought home to the av erage Englishman the end of the war as the visit of the Boer generals to Mr. Chamberlain's office and its possible re- -suits are magnified out of -mil reckoning. The British government will eive tho Boers all they can desire to gain theit co-operation in the establishment of the new regime, but already there is a good sized storm brewing among the Boers of Cape Colony, Natal and Rhodesia and among the British residents of the South African colonies over what Is termed "the imperial government's anx iety toi reward disloyalty and aggress sion." One of the colonial premiers re cently said to a representative of the Associated Press: "Mr. Chamberh'in is more scared now by the South African loyalists than he ever was by the Boers. With such con ditions prevailing it is obviously im possible for Mr. Ohamberlain immedi ately to secure any important conces sions for the Boers, even though he may recognize the justice of their claims." Sam "Woods Reelected. London, Sept. 8. The trades union con gress at its final session here today re elected Sain Woods as secretary and ap pointed E Edwards of the Miners' Feder ation, and M. Armandale of the T'nlted Mine Workers, delegate tto the congress of the American Federation of Labor.

2 SPORTING NEWS. Site for American in Gotham Hard to Locate. Investigation Shows Nothing of Account Available. TOO LONG AND NARROW Not Nearly Enough Boom in the Jones Wood Plot. Place at Avenue A and 64th Street a Poor Selection. Cincinnati, Sept. 6. Ren Mulford Bays In a dispatch to the Knquirer from New York. If the American babes, ever go to Jones's woods the birds will coyer them with leaves all right. Personal investi gation of the latest yarn In New York circulation this morning leads to no startling' discoveries. With stands built upon all the ground that was once Washington Park, it would be impossi ble to make any hits longer than sing les. Jones's woods has yielded to the march of progress and Sixty-ninth street was recently cut through it, while the south end is now covered with the immense plant of the Central Brew ery. That settles one story. There is a strip of vacant property on Avenue A, between Sixty-fourth and Sixty-seventh streets that might With considerable grading be converted into a long and narrow ball ground, but not as good as the South End Tennis Court at Boston, which is a perpetual handi cap for National League success at the Hub. The survivors of a grove of sturdy oak are scattered over the slope which is part of the great Schermerhorn es tate. It is directly opposite Blaekwell'S Island, and by ascending a slight hill, Kast River breaks into view. This is historic ground. DeWitt Clinton, New Tork's first governor, once lived upon the estate. His old home still stands overlooking the plot coveted by the American League. The. Pastime Ath letic Club has a lease upon a part of this ground and the old Schermerhorn mansion is now used as a clubhouse by that organization. The entire tract is leased by the Braun Bros. H. T. and A. who run a swimming school on Kast River, and they sublet to several parties. I met both lessees and while we sat on the porch of the old Manse and saw Howard Gould's Niagara and J. Pierpont Morgan's Consair steam down the river with both distinguished yachtsmen visible, the brothers talked baseball. "I heard the Jones's woods story at lodge last night," said H. T. for they've traveled "but the American League won't have enough there. One year ago an attempt to secure Schermerhorn property for baseball purposes failed, and I don't think there is any chance for success now. The property would have to be secured through us. Last year's plan contemplated cutting down of the hill and the leveling of the tract to make one vast athletic field. It would cost a fortune to do that." Were this to be a place of American invasion the handicap of lack of trans portation facilities would be a bad one. Horse cars run on First avenue, one square away, but the nearest elevated railway station on the Second avenue route, is three long squares -away. The Bronx yarn was given another twist this afternoon, when it was as serted that John C. Sheehan, who is an anti-Freedman Tammany Chief, and President Haften, of the Borough of Bronx, were to be the local representa tives of the American League. This New Tork angle is now the most inter esting before balldom. WHITE'S NEW JOB. Referees With Struggle of Betters Who Are After Tillman's Books. New York, Sept. 6. Charlie White, the referee of referees, has a new job, Joe Ullman and Kid Weller, whose sen sational bookmaking is the talk of the turf world, have engaged White as pro tector. White's new duties are in keep ing with his profession. He stands at TJllman's elbow and referees the strug gle of betters who fight to get hold of the odds displayed. So many curious persons, not anxious to bet, but eager to see the flow of greenbacks, have been crowding around Ullman so persistently that it has been a difficult matter for the plungers and their commissioners to get within reach. Having had long experience in breaking fighters out of clinches. White was perfectly at home yesterday. "Break away there," was his constant cry. When some of the more obstinate onlookers refused to budge White push ed them away with a degree of effec tiveness that made Robert Pinkerton, who looked on for a while, turn green with envy. Operation Upon tfcGraw. New York, Sept. 6.

This per-, formanee won rounds of applause from all sides. Upon request, f Mr. Demar est. Curry was placed behind. Prince Alert in the thirdi heat. Soon after the horses got away 'Anaconda went to- the front and maintained this position all the way around, until the stretch was reached, when Prince Alert let (rat kink and came up even. Then for a time the horses traveled as if being driven as a pair. Inch by inch Prince Alert gained on his plucky rival, and when the wire was reacned Anaconda's nose was lapping Prince Alert's sulky. This race was one of the best of the week. Prince Alert was the favorite In the betting. Fate of Two Cripples. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 6.

He rather easily outrftced his pair of rivals, Lord Derby and The Monk, being a straight heat winner, Lprd. Derby drew the pole and rushed oyer to the half in X:02VZ. McKerron traveled the second quarter in 30 seconds and caught up. An opening showed itself and he was pushed in next the rail. He worked up even to the Derby horse. Half way down the stretch Lord Derby made a tiring break and McKerron jogged home.; The Monk had given up just after the half had been passed. Mc Kerron was allowed to set the Dace at the start of the second heat and at the half Lord Derby moved out and set sail for the leader. He had him caught, but broke again at the time when he had his only chance to win. The enthusi asm of 12.000 oeoDle -Was unbounded. The pacing cup also stays in Cleveland, as Ananias outraced Fred S.

A raggedy man In a coat three sizes too big for him drifted into the free em ployment agency the other day and asked for work. "I am Boyd Peary, son of Lieut Robert E. Peary, the arctic explorer," he" said to John Alexander, assistant employment agent. Then young Mr. Peary went on to give the officers a hard luck story which it would be difficult to beat outside of the Blue Fairy book. "I left home about six months ago. and am 21 years of age," he said. "My home is at 4317 West Forty-seventh street. New York city, where until si months ago I lived with my father. We had some trouble and I, left home, with my father's full consent, but with the understanding that I should not come back inside of a year. He thought it would be a good thing for me to get out and rough it for a while. Well, I had plenty of money at first, and had a very good time. But I have been up against some hard luck and am dead broke. I want a place to work any kind of work; I'm not a. bit particular what. My father supposes I have plenty of money, and would gladly help me if 1 would ask him, but I won't do that; I am going to stick out the year." To say that the employment office offi cials felt honored by a visit from the son of the celebrated explorer Peary is putting it mildly. They hustled around and got him a job in some rail road work out in central Kansas, got him a pass, and seat him out. Since Boyd Peary left it has occurred to some of them to look up the records a little, and they have found that Lieut. Peary was not married until 1888, and that, he has only one child, a daughter, who was born in the aretic regions. Moreover, the Pearys do not live in New York when in this country, but in Washington, D. C. i "Boyd Peary" holds the medal of the employment agency as a "hot air" artist. A Parson's Noble Act.

Councilman Snyder Would Sup plant It With Brick. HAS BECOME A BURDEN Property Owners May Hare to Have Street's KepaVed. Asphalt Trust Appears to Have City in Its Power. Councilman E. B. Snyder thinks that the city is being held up by the Bar ber asphalt paving trust, and will pro pose to the city council that no further repairs be made on the" asphalt pave ment. Instead of contracting an annual bill of several thousand dollars for repairs, Mr. Snyder thinks that the worst holes in the pavement should be patched with pulverized limestone and that each year a portion of the wornout pavement should be taken up and replaced with vitrified brick, which of course the peo ple would regret to see done. Mr. Snyder's scheme is one of Im mense proportions, and involves replac ing 193,000 square yards of asphalt, which cost about $600,000 to lay. It also involves a great many legal questions, and may reauire an act of the legisla ture to insure its successful completion. It is estimated that the total cost of replacing the asphalt with brick will be in the neighborhood of $150,000. Among other momentous questions which Will be raised by Mr. Snyder's proposal is this: Who shall pay the bill? Some claim that the city at large will be liable on the ground that the work constitutes repairs. Others assert that the property owners on the streets af fected must pay for the work, because it is really repaving the streets, not re pairing them. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that the same question is up in connection with the proposed replac ing of the cedar block pavement on West Sixth street with vitrified brlclc Topeka's asphalt pavements are al ready a municipal white eleohant. and promise to become more and more of a burden as years go by. Since the pave ment Was laid 12 or 15 years ago. $44. 283 has been paid out for repairs. It is now costing from $3,000 to $5,000 a year to keep up repairs. The expense will increase as the pavements grow older. So far this year, $2,283 has been paid to the asphalt trust for repairs, and no attempt was made to repair any except the worst holes. In contrast with this, the vitrified brick pavements, when laid with good material, are in as good shape now as when laid, and the city has exoended for. repairs practically nothing, which from a purely financial standpoint is unsatisfactory. It is not much wonder that the city council, in its efforts to stoD up the leaks in the. city's finances, is inclined to look with disapproval upon the heavy drain which the asphalt pavements con tinually make upon the exchequer. AT MERCY OF TRUST. One of the, chief objections- urged to the asphalt pavements is the fact that they place ijopeka at the mercy of the asphalt trust. This was clearly shown when the council solicited bids from all the paving companies in the United States on asphalt repairs, and got only two bids. Five years ago the city paid in one lump $20,000 for asphalt repairs, and $4,000 a year for five years for more repairs. Now It has a contract with the same old trust by which it will pay $1.53 per square yard for resurfacing, and $1.99 per square yard for concrete re pairs. These prices are higher than Kansas City pays, and much higher than is paid in eastern cities, but To peka can't help itself. Having the field to itself, the trust takes its own time to make repairs when called upon, and laughs at threats of lawsuits. One of the greatest objec tions to asphalt paving is that the com pany which lays the pavement is the only one which can be induced to re pair it. A city is never independent of the help of the trust as long as it has asphalt pavement. Excavations can be made in streets paved with brick, if necessary, and the pavement quickly restored to as goou condition as ever. It is usually neces sary to wait for months for a cut Jn the asphalt pavement to be repaired. The asphalt trust even makes its boast that asphalt pavement can not be replaced with brick, for the reason that the sheet asphalt is only three inches thick, and the brick are four inches. To make the change will necessitate lowering the gutters, so that the brick will not-come too close to the top of the curb. AS TO THE COST. To take up the asphalt and lay brick would .cost about 75 cents per square yard. In some places new curbing would have to be set. The brick would be laid on the con crete foundation used for the asphalt. Enough sand would be spread on the concrete to level it. Only one course of brick is necessary on concrete. In most cities one course of brick on concrete is preferred to two courses of brick on sand. It is believed to be a more durable pavement. CITY AT LARGE NOT LIABLE. According to the opinion of the city attorney, the city at large is not liable, for the cost of the change from asphalt to brick. He also holds that under the existing law, there. is no way to compel the change to be made. The matter must come up in the form of a petition for pavement. The city can of course practically force such a petition by refusing to make any repairs on the existing pave ment, -but if the pavement gets in bad condition, and damage suits result, the city is liable. For. this reason, it is be lieved that about the only way Mr. Sny der's plan can be carried out is to in voke the aid of the legislature, and have the present law changed so that the city council can at its discretion or der streets to be repaved. This is the law in Nebraska. According to a supreme court decision, the city is liable for the cost of "general repairs on pavement." Also, under the law. the taxpayers on the streets af- Little Children can safely take this famous well known remedy.

The supreme court of Nebraska, in an Omaha case, held that when an entirely new surface was laid on an old concrete base, this constitutes re paving, and not repairs. The court said, "The mere, using of the old base of concrete did not constitute the work an ordinary repair, within the meaning and contemplation of the statute." The following is the law regarding re paving, in the Kansas statutes, chapter 18, article 3, paragraph 730.: "When the mayor and council shall deem it neces sary to curb, gutter, pave, macadamize or" grade, or, recurb, regutter, repave, remacadamize or regrade any street, lane, avenue or alley, or any part there of such mayor and council shall by resolution declare such work or improvement necessary to be done. Provided that in cities of the first class having a population of over 25,000, no resolution to pave, macadamize or grade; or repave, remacadamize or re grade any street, lane or alley, shall be valid unless a petition asking such im provement has been ordered spread upon the judicial journal, which petition must be signed by the resident owners of not less than one half of the feet fronting or abutting npon such street, alley or lane to be improved." One of the prides of Topeka Is the asphalt streets and it would be almost a calamity If it became necessary to supplant it with brick. POLITICAL GOSSIP. (Continued from First Page.) not introduced anywhere as a Republi can. I did not speak as a Republican. Indeed, I did not discuss-party politics at all. As an American citizen and an ex-Union soldier I defended the presi dent of the United States against the attacks made upon his management of the nation's affairs; and I favored his re-election, not because he was a Re publican, but because he represented our country in a grave crisis and was a man that our own people could trust, and that the people of other countries would respect. This Is all there is about my recent relations with the Republi can party, and I am not ashamed of it, as you thought I would be. "Referring to my present employment of indexing the debates of congress, that is an invention of my own, and I had been at work on it nearly a year before the matter was submitted to congress. Its obvious utility commends it to all persons without regard to poli tics. There is no opposition to it. I ex pect to receive as compensation about one-half what the labor cost of the work will be worth. "You ask me one very plain question in a very plain way, thus: 'Did you not quit the People's party because you were defeated for a second term in the senate?' I answr emphatically, No. My defeat satisfied me that the politicians of the People's party in Kansas did not want a senator who was not acceptable to the Democratic party. My successor understood this and he has not wasted any time over land loan, government railroads or public banking bills. "No, I worked, wrote and spoke against the fusion movement until my last dollar was gone in the work, then I let go, because I could no longer hold on. Look over the files of the Advocate for 1897 and you will see the proofs. And let me say here, Mr. Editor, that today I dd religiously believe in all the fundamental principles of the People's party and have at no time cast them from me. While supporting Mr. Bryan I took pains, oh all proper occasions, to let it be known that I was a Populist and not a Democrat. I made myself believe that we had nominated Mr. Bryan, and not the Democratic party, as our candidate for the presidency. I supported Bryan and Watson, not Bryan and Sewall. "You talk about Bryan Democracy. There is and can be no such thing. You deceive yourself. Bryanism and Democ racy are distinctly different. Mr. Bryan was cut out for a Populist, and if our party had been as wise as it was foolish and had never had anything whatever to do with the Democratic pasty, but had kept in the middle of the road, as it promised to do, he would now, in all probability, be one of us, and working with us, instead of exerting his great powers to get the Democratic party to gether on trusts and imperialism. "Finally you ask me, 'Would you ad vise Populists to leave their principles and go Into the rotten old Republican party, like yourself?' No. I would ad vise you to hold fast to your principles, disband your party organization, let your members vote as they please, and all wait for the, wagon." Under the heading "Why Don't He Resign?" the Alma Enterprise says with reference to the Kelly matter: "The more T. T. Kelly's explanation is talked about and discussed, the less fa vor it seems to find in the eyes of the public. He claims to be a persecuted man, but he has not proven it or an swered the charges. "We all know that such a state ot affairs as he claims exists in his county would be utterly impossible in this county. We have never had a board of commissioners who could have been in duced to maliciously persecute a man for blackmailing or political purposes, in all the county's history, have we? You know we haven't. "The editor of Kelly's home paper last week says for Kelly to pick a committee of men like E. W. Hoch, Arthur Capper, Rev. C. M. f Sheldon, William Allen White, etc., let them come-to Paola and examine the records,- and If they find any of them missing, altered T or muti lated as Kelly claims, or if they make any different finding than the commis sioners have he will donate $1,000 to Mi Kelly or any public or -private charity. He imposes no other conditions what ever on Mr. Kelly, and is well able to do what he promises. It looks like Mr. Kelly had .the worst of the matter so far." 1 Thus far -neither Mr. Kelly nor-any of the others to whom the -offer was made have attempted to secure W. D. Grea son's $1,000, although it Is only neces sary to show that the findings of the Miami county commissioners are lh any way wrong, in order to get it. Wellington Monitor-Press: The ex planation with which T. T. Kelly, the Republican nominee for state treasurer, seeks to meet the charges against his official conduct while clerk of Miami county, ,are lacking in definiteness. It may be admitted, as Mr. Kelly asserts, that the charges are the work of a fac tion of his nolitical and personal ene mies, and further, that there are some pretty bad people in the lot. But this does not clear Mr. Kelly's skirts entire ly. On the face of the records the showing is verv bad for Mr. Kelly. These raised vouchers found by the county commissioners' Investigation might have been due to accident but it is a, -little singular that the mistakes were all in Kelly's favor and to his fin ancial profit. The investigation showed Mr. KeUy indebted to Miami county in the sura Of $1,324.99, and this money be has paid into the county treasury. If Mr. Kelly did not owe this money, be had no business paying1. it, either in ad vance of or: after the Investigation. Candidly, we don't see how it is possi ble for a public official on a salary of $1,500 a vear to have a sum almost as large as his yearly pay added to- his bank account and not know "where he got it. We wish Mr. Kelly, for" the sake of his good name if not that of his party, would take up" the report of the county commissioners, without regard to who made it or to what 'purpose, and show where in Jt is -in error and where In justice has been done him. The "you're another" style ot Justification does- not fit the case. The? Republican voters are getting stirred up over these charges .and they want Mr. Kelly eith er to explain or get off the ticket. TODAI'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Sept The frosts that were predicted yesterday failed to materialise this morning and as a result prices of grain fell off at the opening.

3 Do iot Trifle With Them Paine's Celery Compound Permanently Cures Sick and Nervous Headaches That Make Ofe1 Miserable. Sick? and-. nervous headaches nre amongst the worst of llfe- The man or woman who is subject to headache at Irregular intervals, goes through life bearing a load of misery and wretched ness that is terrible to think of. Headaches, as a rule, resuli from a disordered condition of the nervous sys tem. Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting causes. When the brain be comes tired and debilitated, the whole nervous system is weakened, and head aches resule. If the liver is sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion de ranged, headaches invariably follow.

TOPEKA DRUG CO. TOPEKA, KANSAS. RAILROADjlEWS. Santa Fe Raises Pay of Coast Line Machinists. Will Receive an Increase of 25 Cents a Day. A VOLUNTARY ACTION. Said to Be Intended to Dis courage Boilermakers' Strike. Topeka Machinists Hoping For a Similar Increase. San Bernardino, Cal., Sept. 6. Divis ion Master Mechanic Park of the Santa Fe shops here has officially announced that hereafter the machinists on this division will receive $3.50 instead of $3.25 a day. .as heretofore. The above announcement of a raise in pay for the machinists at the Santa Fe's big coast line shops is of more than ordinary interest, in view of the recent labor troubles on that part of the system. Apparently, the rise in pay is entire ly voluntary on the part of the Santa Pe. The machinists at San Bernardino have never asked for more pay, and have never threatened to strike. The raise is entirely unexpected. Railroad men in Topeka generally consider that the move was a very "foxy" one on the part of the road to discourage the threats of a renewal of the strike, which are being made by the boilermakers at San Bernardino. They believe that the officials intend the boilermakers to read a lesson from the voluntary increase given to the ma chinists, and try to merit similar treat ment by keeping down strike agitation. The raise of 25 cents a day will pro bably affect about 50 workmen on the division, but it is of important as fore casting a possible raise in pay for the machinists over the "entire Santa Fe system. Here at Toneka the machin ists get about $3.10 per day. but it is claimed that owing to the great cost of living at San Bernardino, and the un pleasant conditions which prevail there, most machinists prefer to work in To peka for the smaller wages. Topeka machinists are hoping, however, that the "good work may go on." SANTA NOT ALONE. Other Roads Are After the Line Into St. Louis. In discussing the report that the Santa Fe is after a St. Louis connection, the St. Louis Republic says: Through the new railroad being con structed north and south through Mis souri and Iowa by Gates and his part ner capitalists, Mitchell and Lambert, not only has St. Louis a line which may be of service in bringing the Santa Fe into St. Louis, but also- the Northwest ern, the Milwaukee, the Iowa Central and a Rock Island connection from the nortb. Tentative negotiations are already un der way between the builders of te Iowa and St. Louis, the Gates road, and not only the Santa Fe, but also the Rock Island, the Milwaukee and the North western. The Iowa Central has talkeii with officials of the new road. The Iowa and St. Louis is the middle section of the line,' the St. Louis end of it being known under the corporate name of the Iowa and Missouri, while the Iowa section is known as the Iowa and Dakota, the last sectiori being char tered to Sioux City. At present Des Moines is the objective point in the north and St. Louis in the soutb. Originally the Iowa and St. Louis was projected to carry coal from the .Gates fields in Missouri and Iowa, which un derlies about 103,000 acres. At present it would seem more probable that the Santa Fe Is the farthest ahead in nego tiations. But no contract has been drawn. The possibility, however, is strong that the Santa Fe may make an arrangement with Gates to run trains into St. Louis over a connecting cutoff to the Iowa and St. Louis. South of the Missouri the state of Illi nois is amply able to supply coal, but north of the river a new coal supply is needed. Perhaps it Is the Santa Fe that needs the big coal supply on the Iowa and St. Louis more than any other of the big lines heading toward St. Louis. This new line will carry coal north and move the grain of the northern' railroads south. It is well known that the rail roads of the country are fighting, in one way or another, the isthmian canal, but the probability that it will go through has been accepted by the lines of the north and they will soon begin to move Grain south. That is where Gates hopes to make his line necessary to the northern roads or the Santa Fe. The Iowa and St. Louis will build a bridge across the Missouri river if necessary, and its promoters an nounce that they are determined to se cure an entrance to the. city and have all terminals completed in time for the entrance, of the first train upon comple tion some time next spring. Not lonsr after that opening one of the roads of the north Milwaukee, Northwestern, Iowa Central or Rock "Island or the Santa Fe. will enter St. Louis. That will be in time for the world's fair. TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS. Todd Goes to San Bernardino, Iundoff to Argentina. Announcement has been made of the transfer of A. B. Todd, division master mechanic for the Santa Fe at Winslow, Ariz., to a similar position at San Ber nardino; Cal.

Drury, formerly division foreman at Arkansas City. A. J. Fitzgerald, who for a long while has been general foreman of the com pany plant at Argentine, has resigned and his place has been taken by Geo. Lindoff, until the present foreman at La Junta, OA Mr, Fitzgerald will pro bably not devote his attention to busi ness matters for awhile, preferring to spend a time in recuperation. Concerning Mr. Lovell. Alfred Lovell, lately appointed as sistant superintendent of Santa Fe mo tive power, arrived in Topeka Thursday morning, accompanied by Superintend ent of Motive Power Henderson, who met him in Chicago, and has assumed the duties of his new position.

After completing his schooling he worked for a time at the bench, being in the employ of the Fitehburg and a number of railroads of New England, besides, a few manufac turing concerns. About twelve years ago he came west, finding a position on the Northern Pacific, with which sys tem he remained until this time, lie was sent to Tacoma, Wash., to superin tend the construction of a new mechan ical plant which that company was building there, and later became me chanical engineer, stationed at St. Paul, Minn. After that he rose to the position of assistant superintendent of motive power, and later succeeded to the head of the mechanical department. Mr. Lovell is a middle-aged man of pleasant address and the manner of one used to handling business. He has a wife, whom he expects to bring to Topeka a little later.

George Stevenson has taken a clerkship in the office of Machine Shop Foreman Miller. Mr. Stevenson is strange in To Deka. but not new to railroading: he for merly had a clerical position with the Eria Sickness steals more savings than the burglar. Slowly, coin by coin, the money that has been so hardly earned is paid out for drugs and doctors. Sickness is the worst enemy of the work ing man, and the common cause of the working man's sickness is disease of the stomach often involving the heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys. The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery will stop the stealing of the savings by sickness. It cures dis eases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures dis eases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc, when these diseases are caused by the diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs. About ten years ago I began to have trouble with my stomach," writes Win. Connolly, of 535 Walnut Street, Lorain, Ohio, "It got so bad I had to lay off quite often two and three days in a week, my stomach would bloat, and I would belch up gas. and was in awful distress at such times. I have employed and been treated by the best doctors in the city but rot no help whatever. By some way or other I happened to get hold of a vial of your Pellets.' and I thought thev helped me. It was then I wrote to yon Tor advice. You told me that by my symptoms yon thought I had liver complaint, and advised the use of your 'Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets' in connection. These medi cines I have taken as directed, and am very happy to state that I commenced to get better from the start and have not lost a day this summer on account of my stomsrh. X feel tip top, and better than I have for ten years.9 Accept no substitute for Golden Med ical Discovery." Nothing else is "just as good." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant relicts regulate the bowela, and Wyoming Valley road. Scranton, Pa., and with the Dickson Locomotive works, the same city. He comes here directly from Denver. Colo. Del. Shay, an air brake repairer in the shops, went south toward Oklahoma, Fri day morning. It is understood that ha has a sick sister-in-law in that territory, and this is the cause of his hasty depart ure. Jacob Lewis, formerly night caller of engine crews, is clerking in Powell's to bacco store temporarily. Mr. Powell has gone to Chattanooga. Tenn., to attend the meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen. Peter Graber, a helper in the spring shop, has experienced some difficulty re cently with sore eyes, and although he commenced wearing glasses Friday he has lost but little time. It id thought the members will improve soon. Jacob Fulford has been put on the night transfer table at the car shops. Fulford had the place while Joseph Aigner, sr., his predecessor, made an extended trip to Switzerland. Since then he has been em ployed in other water service duties. Otto Faas, city passenger agent for the Santa Fe in Philadelphia, Pa., and who was in charge of the delegates who travel ed over the Santa Fe to the letter car riers' .convention in Denver, Colo., passed through here Friday on the return trip.

Edward Cole, a fireman who has been running in here from the east for Some months and at the same time maintaining his family at Argentine, has decided to live like somebody and accordingly will move his folks to Topeka the first part of next week. In order to accommodate the immense traffic to the Burlingame fair which has been in progress this week, the Santa Fe is running a train every evening from that place to Quenemo by way of Lyndon, Osage City and Peterton. It leaves every day at 5:30 p. m. International Correspondence School car No. 106, which has been in Topeka shops for light repairs, will probably be ready to go out Monday. It has been touched up with varnish and when it appears will look like a shoe newly polished. It goes to Chicago from here. George P. Tilson, the former field yard air brake inspector who has been in the Las Vegas hospital of the company for some weeks, is said to be slightly better according to late advices. Mr. Tilson is able to write to his wife and a few of his particularly close friends in this city. Charles R. Billings, a machinist appren tice, has taken a lay-off ,of a few days and is enjoying the pleasure of a pair of smoked glasses. Billings caught some iron dust in his optics and since then those members have been in such condition that it was not wise to work with them. Wilson Forsythe, a water service em ploye, took his time at 6 o'clock Friday evening after working for the company since early last spring. Lately he has been firing in the car shops power house but has given it up to take a job on a ranch where he believes there. is an oppor tunity to make a fair stake. Fred Jerram, who has' served a' good part of his machinist apprentice in these shops, has withdrawn. He has been In the employ about three-and-one-half years, but severed his relations today. His mother and sister sailed only a few weeks ago for England, but are expected to re turn this autumn. George Fraser. lately appointed foreman of the blacksmiths here, had not yet ap peared Friday .evening but it was expected that he would show up today. Mr. Eraser has directed Topeka friends to rent a house for him here and it is-probable that he will live on Madison street between Fourth and Fifth streets. T. S. Cafferty, roadmaster on the East ern division, who went east for a visit with relatives and later intended to Q-o to the roadmasters' general convention at Milwaukee, Wis., was at a reunion of the Cafferty family at Binghamton, N. 1'.. re cently, in which 150 members gathered and celebrated. There was a literary pro gramme, speeches by different represen tatives of the family were made ana af terward dancing was participated in by some while the others Were entertained in various ways. One of the'- interesting events was a poem by Roadmaster Caf ferty of this city. It is possible that "John Mespelt, the wood machinist of this place who has been appointed foreman of the planing mill at San Bernardino, Cala., may not be able to get away as eoon as was contem plated. He has received word that his son who has been with Mrs. Mespcit in Fort Madison, la., for a visit of seme weeks is sick and while not dangerous is in such condition that it lias not been deemed safe to move him at once. Miss pelt still plans on getting away by the first of next week. Hereafter the Santa Fe will have to run without the services of Charles Eccleston, a machinist who has served the company faithfully for eighteen years. Mr. Eccles ton has been laid up with rheumatism for about two months, and seeing that there was little if any hope for final relief ho decided to withdraw. Nine years of the time that he has worked for the Santa Fe were spent at Emporia where in the fu ture he will make his home. The other half of the time he has been in Topeka. Previous to that he gave the Illinois Cen tral 14 vears of his time, being located at Waterloo. Ia. Mr. Eccleston is English by htrth and training:, having served his an- prenticeship and a short while at his trade in some of the great manufacturing works of that country. There were several thrilling escapes for a State Journal representative Friday ow ing to the clipping from a Kansas City paper the day before telling of a section foreman at Chase, Kan., who was said to be the oldest Santa Fe employe, and an other at Sterling who made a similar claim. Each of these men had been with the company about 23 years, while there are a hundred in Topeka who can equal that record and several who have a num ber more vears than that behind them. For the information of the public let it be said that George Elliot, foreman of the Sixth streets yards at this point is the oldest employe on the whole system. Thirty-three years ago last April he com menced work and has been in the pay roll continuously ever since that time. He be gan soon after the first dirt was turned on the north side of the river near the Junction depot. Thomas Foy, field yard foreman at Topeka. is another veteran go ing on as a laborer while the road was very young. Gib. Slusher, track foreman, is another old-timer and W. C. Garvey, agent here', besides- John Higgins, who pulls the Kansas1 City plug out of this place, Thomas Israel, foreman of the spring makers, Touis Deutscher, foreman of the tinners, Henry Martin, foreman of the cab carpenters, and so on ad infinitum.

The reptile in striking became attached to the cac tus and could not get away.

In his salutatory Mr. Stin, does not mention politics, but says: "It shall wage no factional quarrels, bat ia AVENUE 526 of the Postoffice) FRANK LONG, Manager n 8275.000.00 1 all things do that which, in its Judg ment, will best promote the interests of all classes, and especially the interests of the farming community." In no place in his paper does he mention any can didate, state or local. N. T. Stine. a son of Mr. Stine, has the business manage ment of the paper. New Democratic Paper. Clay Center, Kas., Sept. The big gest sensation of the season was sprung on an unsuspecting public when it was announced that a Democratic news paper would be published in Clay Cen ter. The first edition will be published today, and it will be known as the Clay County Democrat. The policy of the paper will be conservatively Democratic, supporting the national Democracy and the state, congressional and judicial tickets. The Populists and Democrats at their county conventions drifted apart; that is, they failed to fuse. In an article in its first number the Democrat will give Its reason for its inception in the field of Journalism. It is here to stay, not as a campaign publication as some would have it. Dr. J. P.

The Model. I KOGZYUSKI STEAD r PROGRESS Ia Reported in Business by Commer cial Agencies, New York.1 Sept, 6. R. O. Dun Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says; Steady progress is reported in traae and industry. Distribution of merchan dise is heavy and a healthy tone is evi dent. Domestic conditions continue much better than those existing abroad. and home trade received more attention than foreign commerce. Farm products have appreciated In value owing to less favorable weather, and producers will be fully compensated for any decrease in quantity by the higher quotations. Earnings of railways during? August were 3.6 per cent, larger than a year ago and 18.9 per Cent, in excess of 1900. "Better deliveries of coke and liberal receipts of foreign material have less ened the pressure in the Iron and steel industry, while quotations in a few lines have weakened. Domestic demands are not decreasing, much new business hav ing been placed, and home consump tion will continue to call for Imports on a larger scale. "New slants are being added to the productive capacity as rapidly as pos sible, but in railway equipment, espe cially steel rails, orders are already placed for much of next year. uuotations or. footwear are runy maintained at the recent advance. It Is noteworthy that buying has been heav iest in the finer grades and sample lines of spring styles are also much sought in the good qualities. A good feature ia the urgency for quick shipment, indi cating that stocks are low. Leather sells freely at the recent advance In quotations, but hides appear to have risen above the views of tanners, re sulting In a quiet market. Advancing raw material aroused much anxiety among purchasers of Cotton good and there were numerous inquiries for for ward contracts, but the volume of busi ness was not materially increased. "Agricultural conditions are less sat- isfctory and if the official estimate as to cotton is not exaggerated the yield will not be large enough to sustain consumption at the present rate. Wheat is coming forward freely, though re ceipts do not equal the abnormally heavy movement a year ago. Corn de veloped strength because of fears that injury would be done by frost, and the movement is Very slow, compared with last year's figures." Bradstreet s says: "All available data confirm reports of past good trade and foreshadows Brood or better yet to come, j It has been es sentially a week of active buying in distributive trade. Reports as to August traae nave been almost uniformly fa vorable, and the records of failures show business mortality to have been confined to a low summer minimum. Prices show persistent strength despite tne tact that agricultural products, ex cept corn and prime cattle, tend lower. Corn Is not yet out of danger from frost In the northern belt, and this. coupled with short supplies. Imparts strength to cereals generally. Reports of cotton deterioration, caused by hot. dry weather, have scared shorts and stiffened values of raw and manufac tured cotton, but there Is a feeling that the crop damage talk has been over done. Rather less disturbance is noted in labor matters, some strikes having Deen declared off. Tne anthracite trou ble still hangs over the situation, but the volume of coal shipments is slowly and steadily increasing. Some wage ad vances are noted in widely separated lines. Collections in the north and -west re unitormiy good, but. while some improvement is noted in the south room for betterment exists. Jobbing activity is undiminished at the west, northwest and southwest, and is of satisfactory volume at the east Dry goods, shoes, millinery, drugs, nardware, groceries, clothing and lum ber ngure actively tn the demand. leather sales are laree at the west. put nign tiae prices discourage tanning. At the east the advance In cotton Is stimulating the cotton goods markets. Good reorders are noted in woolen goods, but spring goods are meeting most attention. Silk goods are strong ana prices are very nrm. eastern shoe factories are well employed. althoueh tne compiainr or, small profit continues. Wool is half a cent higher and tends up, as stocks are not large. "The fuel shortage is pressiner on the iron furnaces and now the scarcity of cars and motive power Is affecting the movement of ore from lake ports to the Pittsburg district. New demand for pig iron is, however, light, primarily because ouyers nave booked largely ahead. Foundry iron is tl higher. Heavy im ports of foreign iron and steel have cut down premiums on Immediate delivery Dusiness, put in tne scarcity of supplies of domestic no particular interest is taken In this. Sales of foreign made materials are large. In finished prod ucts business in rails, bars and sheets is rair and mills are heavily sold ahead. Tin plate and wire nails are quiet, but a Detter Dusiness is. looked lor soon with the growth of fall trade. Hardware .Is apparently as active as ever. Copper ia Biigatiy nrmer wnue tin is lower."

Resolutions For Dr. Swan. At a meeting of the physicians of To peka. held on Wednesday evening, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That when in the course of natural events It falls to the lot of men and women to mourn tfce loss of those near and dear to them, the pains of parting, however great, are always more keen and poignant when one in the prime of life and the full flush of health and happiness is suddenly stricken from among them. We meet tonight to express what our faltering lips can utter of the virtues and worth of one of our professional brethren, who but a few days since walked among and cheered us with the hope and courage of a manly life and a character to-be al ways emulated. We have lost a friend who cannot be replaced, and a brother whom we felt could not be spared from the walks of life. His friends were all who knew him. Enemies, he had none. Childhood and age alike feel an Inex pressible grief over his untimely end. In this life, where the streams of joy and sorrow run side by side to that shoreless sea that rolls beyond our. mortal sight, and where today the smiles of gladness and tomorrow the tears of sadness follow in quick suc cession, we have only this consolation for our griefs, that sometime, somewhere, we hope to meet again our loved and loot. In the death of our brother. Dr. Wm. K. Swan, we share the woe and grief of those related to him by the nearer and dearer ties of kinship and affection. And we wish to tender them our deepest sympathy in this painful hour of their untimely affliction. M. R. MITCHELL, HENRT W. ROBY, C. F. MENNINGER, i Committee.

Claims Administration Won't Let Him Ban a Joint. HE Pigg brothers, Robert and Ran some, bad a hear ing in police court yesterday after noon on the charge of maintaining- a nuisance. Bob was convicted on four counts and Ran ome on one. They -were fined $100 and SO days each on each conviction, and hastily filed an appeal. Piggs' bartender. "Poll" Parrott, who was with Pigg- when he was arrested the first time, was also found guilty on one count. Pigg's at torneys, W. E. Atchison and S. B. Isen hart, gave it out last night that they would begin quo warranto proceedings in the supreme court to oust Mayor Parker from office, on the grounds that he is In a plot with other city officials and a few outsiders to assist in the vio lation of the prohibitory law. They claim that their client is being mis treated. The mayor is out of town, and may not be cognizant of the fact that Nemesis is on his trail, but the other city officials, including Chief Donovan, City Attorneys Spencer and Urmy and the police committee, do not exhibit any symptoms of fear. It does look like Mr. Pigg is on the blacklist. Because he started a joint where he was told not to he was arrest ed. He says he has tendered his month ly fine, but the police would not receive It. He also makes use of the old "tabooed brand of beer" gag which was started by a local reporter as a Joke, but has been used so extensively that many persons now swallow it as a fact and really believe that the city admin istration is in league with a "beer trust." Every jointist who tries to run things on a system, of his own and -is subsequently run out of business makes use of this stale Joke, but S. B. Isenhart. In an interview is the first attorney to expose himself to ridicule by using it. The Frank Bates slot machine case came before the police court at the 4 o'clock session Friday, but after a fero cious attempt on the part of Mr. Urmy to secure a conviction the court took it under advisement. The Case will probably be dismissed, owing to the fact that the prosecution failed to get any evidence that the machine had been played subsequent to the mayor's "clos ing out" order. Several policemen testi fied to the presence of the machine in Bates' place, but they had never played it. Several other slot machine cases will be on the carpet this afternoon. Charles Heltman no longer sells the foaming brew at his old stand. First and Madison. Not that Heitman has re formed, but because the police have a, disagreeable way of making monthly requests for coin. Heitman's business did not warrant the expenditure of JSO per month as a peace offering, and as he either had to "put up or shut up," he chose the latter alternative. "Little Lon" Townsehd, ex-Jointist, was arrested last night for wearing too much booze concealed about his per son. He left a small donation and sad ly went away. A Fugitive frtyn Justice.

Island Is Included in Reciprocity Treaty With France. Washington, Sept. S. The president has proclaimed an agreement entered into with the government of France on the 22nd of August last extending an important trs.de advantage to the island of Porto Rico by the admission of the coffee produced in that island to the French markets at the 'minimum tariff rate.

No Summer Bowel Troubles Not for me Vm safe from all of them and happy. The heat of sum mer causes organic matter everywhere to decay. All dead vegetable or animal matter rots if not kept on ice. All undigested food in the human body will ferment a hundred times as quickly in summer as in winter. Consequence stomach, liver, bowels poisoned, thrown out of order sour stomach, gases, colic, diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, append icitis, and in some regions yellow fever and the plague. Little children suffer terribly everywhere. What does good sense tell you to do You can't keep the human body on ice, and the drinking of ice-cold drinks does more harm than good because it stops digestion and chills the in ternal organs. The proper thing is to keep all impure and unnecessary matter out of the body every day, not give it a chance to sour and de cay in the stomach and bowels, and poison the blood and the whole body, u In this way you will stop all hot, feverish conditions, and keep your insides cool and healthy. To do it, use a medicine that is not offensive to the taste and not harsh and violent in its action.

Visitors Will Be Charged for a Sight of Battle Abbey. London, Sept. 6. A tempest in a tea cup has been raised at Hastings by a repflrt that M. P. Grace, brother of for mer Mayor Grace of New York, who re cently leased Battle Abbey, near the site of the battle of Hastings, had decided to curtail the public's privilege of inspect ing the historic edifice. It was said that admission would be granted only one day each week and upon the payment of 12 cents, the money to be devoted to the aid of local charities, instead of allow ing people to visit the abbey every day. as formerly. .The inhabitants of Hast ings were therefore thrown into con sternation, and one paper went so far as to sav: "Mr. Grace has evidently lived long enough in London to be thoroughly im bued with the priniciple that an Eng lishman's house is his castle." Mr. Grace informs the Associated Press that no charge whatever will be made. When the Duchess of Cleveland, to whom the abbey formerly belonged, resided on the estate the public was only admitted on Tuesday, and this rule wih be continued. When the Graces are away the public can- see the show place every day on payment of a small fee to help the poor of Hastings. Referring to other rumors that he was desecrating the interior of the building, Mr. Grace said: "It is all quite absurd. Everything- remains as it Is. All the ancient features of the building, inside and out, will be preserved. We are only putting in electric lights and baths. There was not a bath, in the whole place." IN 75 MINUTES.

Ordinary laundry soaps are good for. scrubbing floors but not for tbe sKin j Ivory Soap z W&CU Per Cent Pure.; MUSIC LOVERS ATTEND. Whittlesey Benefit at Auditor ium Was an Artistic Success. HAVING MORE TROUBLE. That Miss Karolyn B. Whittlesey has hundreds of friends in Topeka was evi denced by the large audience which at tended the complimentary concert given for her at the auditorium last night. Miss Whittlesey is one of the best known musical instructors in Topeka. There are grown women in the city, whose hair is tinged with gray, who took their first musical lessons of Miss Whit tlesey. There are scores of younger peo ple who have profited by her instruc tion. Miss .Whittlesey has struggled In the face of adversity. She has been an invalid for several years but she' has been wheeled to and from her studio in an invalid's chair; she has sat for hours close by the piano patiently in structing her pupils. She has borne up bravely under circumstances which would have daunted a less cheerful nature. Now that she Is 111 and forced to undergo a surgical operation, her friends, without her knowledge, ar ranged for the concert which should cheer the sufferer and assure her of the regard the musical people have for her ability and her work. The audience which attended the con cert was made up of musical people and for this reason there was very little to disturb even the most nervous during the various numbers. The people were attentive and appreciative. The ap plause was of the genuine sort, devoid of whistling and stamping which grates on the musical ear at many auditorium concerts. The selections were all of the more classical order with the exception of the encore to Nevin's "The First Song" by the quartette composed of Otis E. Dalton, Harry Prlbble, W. M. Shaver, and James Moore. The encore was "Kentucky Babe." It was rather a pleasing innovation in the programme and was well sung. Mrs. John Kleinhans sang "Hear Ye Israel" from "Elijah" and an encore. Harold Stewart Briggs, the youthful pianist who !s the protege of Francis Fischer Powers, seated himself at the piano, looked at the back wall of the uuuuuig xor an inspiration, irumxnea a. little on the keys and played his three numbers from MacDowell, Jensen and Chopin and was forced to respond with an encore. Harry Pribble and James Moore sang "Excelsior." Mrs. George W. Parkhurst sang "Damon," "Ah. Love, But a Day," "A Belated Violet" and "Seguedille." She responded with an encore. Francis Fischer Powers Bang "Where Tou Walk" and the "Romanze" from "Mignon" for his first number and responded with an encore. Mr. Powers can sing better than any of the male artists heard In the auditorium this winter. Mr. Briggs played Liszt's "Etude in D Flat" and the concert closed with the duet "Goudoliera" by Mrs. Parkhurst and Mr. Powers. Miss Gertrude Tracy, Miss Charlotte. Park hurst and Mr. Briggs were the accom panists. START A TRADES COUNCIL. One Will Be Organized Sunday Morning'. There will be a meeting of the buildings trades.unions for the purpose of organiz ing a building trades-council at, ten o'clock Sunday morning at 420 Kansas avenue. It is desired that all the trades men who are employed on buildings in any way attend and lend their assistance to strengthening the organization from the very start. At the meeting of the Federal Labor t'nlon No. 10.242 Friday evening at 420 avenue, the temporary organization was made permanent by the election of of ficers as follows: Present, C. K. Schultz; vice-president. W. t Booth- lording secretary, J. D. Wesley; financial secretary. B. A. Moulton; treasurer, Cl:arles Nonemaker; trustee for 18 months' term, J. M. Jones; for 12 months' term, C. il. Carter; six months' term, C. F. I tall; delegates to trades-council, N. V. Burge. J. M. Jones, and C. A. Carter. The same delegates will represent the lodge at the meeting of the building trades-unions. Sunday morning at ten o'clock. A committee has been appointed on by-laws and trades-rules. The regular meeting night of the union will be Friday and the place 420 Kansas avenue. Mr. Ceilley received a letter this morn ing from Lawrence saying that great pre parations had been made by the trades unionists there for the meeting which he is to hold Monday night. He will go flown to that city Monday morning re turning on the midnight train. He will put In or 8 new unions there within the Street Commissioner and Health De partment Again Clash. Street Commissioner Griggs and City Physician Judd have clashed again over the question of the use of teams em ployed on the street force, and the chances are that Mr. Griggs will win out this time as he did before. Strictly speaking, it may be that City Physician Judd was not the one who had the conflict, but his sanitary ser erean t Mr. Vanderpool. who does all his work. Mr. Vanderpool found that some of the alleys between Quincy and Jack son streets are in need, of being cleaneo. up. Thev are filling up with garbage, and are beginning to be very offensive. It is tbe business of the. health depart ment to clean them. So Mr. Vanderpool asked the street commissioner to place a couple or city teams at the disposal of the health de partment. Mr. Griggs refused. He said If there was any work to be done by the street force he would do it, but that he didn't propose to do the sanitary de partment's work and have it charged up tOrthe street department. So Mr. Van derpool went to see Mayor Parker, ana the mayor said he supposed if the work ought to be done that Mr. Griggs would do it. But Mr. Griggs says that the sanitary department will have to do its own work. Once before, when the street force wS at work cleaning up the tin cans front alleys, the sanitary department pro posed to put one of its men in charge of the work, and Mr. Griggs balked. He declared emphatically that he was com petent to manage his own teams, and that no sanitary officers need apply. They didn't OFF FOR DENVER. Topeka People to Attend Order of Pyramids Meeting The Topeka delegation to the meeting or tne supreme lodge oi me Ancient Order of Pyramids which meets at Denver, Sept. J, will leave Sunday. The Pyramids is a fraternal insurance or ganization doing business in 12 states and territories. Formerly their head quarters were at Topeka, but about too years ago they moved to Kansas City, Mo.

City Attorney Spencer is in a peculiar predicament. He Is a resident oi the much aggrieved Fourth ward benefit district for- opening Second and Third streets, and naturally sympathizes witi the residents of that district in tneir efforts to escape the 10,per lot tax which has been assessed against them. On tbe other hand, Mr. Spencer is city attorney, and in that capacity he must defend the righteousness of the city s position in the controversy. But Mr. Spencer has made his choice. He says: "As between my personal de sires and my official duty, there is not the slightest question as to precedence, r certainly shall defend the position or the. city to the utmost or my powera. I believe that the city's position is legally impregnable, and I feel tnat. whatever I may want as a taxpayer oi the district. I have the law on my side as a representative of the city." When the council was fixing up the boundaries of the rebellious benefit dis trict, it was first arranged that they should stop at the street in front of Mi. spencer s house. Mr. spencer went to the committee which had the matter n charge and asked to have his property included. "If you don't," he said to the committee, "people wilt say that I used my official position to escape being taxed." So it was arranged to include Mr. Spencer's side of the street, and as a consequence it might be truthfully said that the city attorney got himself into his present dilemma. Mr. Spencer thinks that the city has made a mistake, and he would like to have the work all undone, and a fresh start made. But he Insists that it can't be undone, and that the courts can not compel the city to start over again. "The people in the district who are putting up money to hire an attorney are wasting their time and cash," says Mr. Spencer. "The suit which they pro pose to start will accomplish nothing. The court can not order the whole pro ceedings annulled, because the proceed ings have gone so far that those parties in the district whose land has been con demned have a legal contract which the city must carry out. The city must buy that land. The parties who have sold to the city refuse to voluntarily re linquish their opportunity to sell, and there is no way of forcing them to re linquish it. "Then the only question Is, will the court step In and say to the council: "Tou have not made this benefit district large enough to pay for the improve ments contemplated." I do not believe that the court will do this, lor it is a matter wholly within the discretion of the council how large to make the bene fit districts, and unless there is some manifest outrage, the courts will not interfere. I can not see that there is any gross outrage in this case. "There is only one thing which the court can do, and that is to order a re appraisement of the property in the same district, and assess a larger pro portion of the tax to those properties which derive more benefit from the pro posed improvement. This will not afford any relief to the district as a whole, and will make the burden exceedingly heavy on those who live near to the streets to be opened. "I believe that the council would be only too glad to let go If it dared, and take a fresh start next year, rectifying the injustice which is being done. But it is simply a case where it can't let go. The people who have sold their property under the condemnation are holding us to our contract. It is an unfortunate condition or affairs, but it can't be helped. What the city council should have done was to have made the district much larger in the first place, and so reduce the amount of tax to be Imposed on each lot. CAN NOT DO IT. Mayor Parker Says No Beer Permit Will Be Given at Fair. A reporter for the State Journal asked Mayor Parker if he would allow beer to be sold at the state fair grounds during the fair next week. "I don't think the management of the fair will be foolish enough to sell any body a permit to run a beer stand" said the mayor. "I know I wouldn't give much for such a privilege. Why, they could be pulled every day. No, sir, a permit to sell beer at the fair would not be worth much. "If the management of the fair desired to sell such a permit" continued the mayor "they would not be likely to do it openly. They would do It in some round about way, so that nobody could catch onto it easily. It would be very bad pol icy for them to openly grant a beer permit." CAN'T MAKE IT OUT.

If a child is born especially beautiful, is not its every feature to be considered the smile of love and denote too the care and attention the mother had given her throughout the entire period of gestation and childbirth. On the condition of the mother during pregnancy depends the nature, temperament, beauty and grace of tbe child. Among manifold aids to childbirth MOTHER'S FRIEND has grown to popularity and gained a prestige among rich women as well as poor; it is found and welcomed in the mansion as well as cabin. By lessening the mother's agony ot mind and diminishing pain a beautiful influence is wrought upon the child, and instead of peevish, ill-tempered and sickly forms yon have laughing humanity that remains a blessing ever after to you and its country. 1.00 par bottle.

Atlanta, Gtk County Treasurer Philips has return ed to the city authorities the long list of special assessments for sidewalks re pairs because it is in such tangled up condition that he is unable to enter the taxes specified. The list was made out under the dl rection of Street Commissioner Snyder last fall, most of the work being done by Sidewalk Inspector Bickell. It will be remembered that tbe dry weather in the summer of 1901 caused the ground to crack under the sidewalks, thus al lowing the sand to run down, and the bricks to fall. All over town the side walks were damaged more or less from this cause, and the inspector and hi men went over all the sidewalks mak ing repairs. As each repair was made the inspector entered on the stub the approximate cost of the work done, and this stub book constitutes the basis of the special tax list which was drawn up for -sidewalk repairs. The inspector was supposed to list the repairs mace In front of each lot sen arately. Instead of that, he frequently bunched several lots together, and cav the aggregate cost of the repairs for them all.- It now -develops tzjac thnse lots are in many cases owned by dif ferent parties, and there Is no way to ten to wnicn the repairs should be as sessed. Street Commissioner Griggs has een working on tne problem, for sev eral days, and will report that ho is un able to straighten out the tangles. The result will be that the city will lese considerable money which should hav been paid by individual property hold ers for sidewalk repairs. Lived 107 Years. Santa Monica, Cat, Sept.

The United States Consolidated Raisin company, a New York corporation, is the plaintiff and the Pacific Coast Seeded Raisin company, comprising a large number of corporations, is the defendant.

This yielded a Dront of more than 10,000 last year, but now. by reason of the combination, the com panies refuse to pay the license and the damages resulting are estimated at $25,000, which, under the anti-trust law. must be trebled if awarded.

1 Editorial Section. A0 SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA. KANSAS. SEPTEMBER 6 1902. SATURDAY EVENING. 1 THE EXPOSITION. Fair Grounds the Scene of .Gay -ety Jiext Week. Entertainment for Every Morn ing, Afternoon and Xight. THE FIXE STOCK SHOW. Magnificent Display of Horses, Cattle and Sheep, Largest Firms in the Country Will Exhibit. THE RACES A FEATURE. Kansas Derby Will Be the Track Event. Something About the Hopes of the Promotors. Monday the sates of the fair grounds will swing open and the Kansas exposi tion will begin. There will be no stop until Saturday night for the programme includes special features for each morn ing, afternoon and night of the entire week. t The features of the exposition will be the races, the fine stock exhibits, the vaudeville and the midway. There will be no displays of fine fruits and bier vegetab'es. The usual pumpkins and squashes which are generally lined up in military precision behind tne glass jars of home made preserves and pickled cucumbers, will be absent. Not that they have outgrown their usefulness as interesting objects for the sightseers but because there are not sufficient buildings at the fair grounds to accom modate all this. The incendiary fires which have, in the last few years.swept away half a dozen large buildings and two grand stands, have left the exposi tion company with practically nothing but the grounds and a few horse barns and buildings to start with. The Exposition company has accom plished a great deal in time for the first show. New horse barns have been built, the racing stables have been, put in first class condition, the exiosition building has been converted into a mammoth horse and cattle stable, sheep and swine pens have been built, the grand stand, with a seating capacity for 4.000 people, has been completed, a eecretary's office has been built and the grounds have been improved generally The Kansas Exposition is the first Ftep toward an annual state fair to be held in Topeka. It is the hope of the farmers and stock and fruit raisers of the state that a large fair may be held every year where stock arid "farm "pro ducts from all parts of the country will be exhibited. For several ""years the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders' as sociation has had a standing committee on state fairs, instructed at each annual meeting to keep everlastingly at work and keep up the agitation until a state fair is an accomplished fact. At each annual meeting the subject of state ex-' positions or fairs has received earnest consideration. Other state Industrial organizations, notably the State Agri cultural society, State Horticultural so-. ciety, and the Kansas State Dairy as sociation, have been similarly engaged along this Mne. Their standing commit tees have heartily co-operated with the stock breeders and together have en deavored to get the legislature to grant state aid and put this much-needed state enterprise upon a substantial and permanent basis, similar to that enjoyed by all other western states. But so far as tangible results have been concerned, their rts have been fruitless. How ever, tnese public-spirited representa fives of the industrial resources of the state have never weakened or become, discouraged in their determine ion to succeed. It was agreed by the active workers of this enterprise that Topeka was the proper place for a state fair, and that pending the action of the legis lature to get behind the enterprise, To peka and Shawnee county should make the start and do their part to inaugu rate the state fair. In response to the wishes of the friends of this enterprise throughout the state, there was or ganized last year the Kansas State Ex position company, chartered with a cap ital stock of $15,000. the stockholders of which comprise the leading business men and farmers of Shawnee county. The hope of the exposition managers Is that the legislature, which meets this winter, will give state aid to the enter prise and make it Dossible for a large etate fair to be held annually. The Des Moines fair, the annual event in Iowa, Is fostered by the state legislature, and this year $45,000 was appropriated for one building to be used for exhibiting stock. Kansas ought to do as well as Iowa. The Kansas exposition has made the start, and a good one, and now the state should come to the aid of the en terprise so that Kansas with her bump er wheat crops, record breaking corn yields, fast horses, fine cattle and sheep can show to the people of the state and abroad what the resources of the com monwealth are. The members of the association have worked hard to make the first show a success. The officers of the exposition (company have succeeded in inducing many of the largest exhibitors in the country to come to Topeka next week. This is proof that the stock raisers of the country remember what gala weeks there used to be when the state fairs, were given.-: People outside of Kansas are anxious fop the sunflower state to have an annual fair. For this reason they have entered their herds and flocks to give the enterprise an impetus which will not allow it to lag. The officers of the association will be well repaid for their labors by the excellence of the exhibits. The officers and directors of the Kansas Exposition company who have worked for the success of the un dertaking are as follows: OFFICERS. Preside? M. A. Low. First Vice President--B. F. Pankey. Second Vice President T. P. Ba-bst. Treasurer C. H. Samson. Secretary O. P. Updegraff. Executive board M. A. Low, B. F. Pankey, T. P. Babsti C. H. Samson, J. J. O'Rourke, H. A.

TOPEKA- STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY KVKXINp. SEPTEMBER 6, 1902. to MR. BOWSER'S CORNS. Mrs. Bowser and a Bazor Play 'a Lead ing Part. When Mr. Bowser arrived home from the office the other evening, he founi Mrs. Bowser and the eat awaiting hii on the front steps, but he passed theij with an icy glare and entered the hat. and flung his hat on the floor. i "Has has anything gone wrong to day?" timidly asked Mrs. Bowser. "Nothing except that I have been walking on the edge of my own gravel" he bluntly replied. "Bid- you just escape aa awful acci dent?" "No matter, I shall have .something to sajr to you after dinner.'1 The dinner was a brief one, bat while It lasted Mrs. Bowser felt cold chills go over her. She couldn't recall that She had eloped, broken a window, burned too much gas. Bold any of the .kitchen coal or been extravagant with hair pins, but' that she was to be hauled over the coals she could, not doubt. .She determined to die bravely, however, and as soon as they bad Massed- ut ctaiis 'je asjred: "Well, now, what is It?" Mr. Bowser sat down and slowly un tied his shoe and pulled it off, and the stocking' slowly- followed. Then fie rested his bare foot on a chair, worked tits big toe back and forth till It crack ed, and, pointing his finger, he hoarsely whispered: "A corn a thundering: big' corn on the bottom of that toe!" "Is that all?" laughed Mrs. Bowser In her great relief. "Why. I thought something dreadful had happened." "Yes, a corn." he went on as he con tinued to point "a corn that has made life a hades for me all day long. And tiow did it come there? Look me In the face, if you can. and tell me how that com came there!" "The same as any corn comes, of course. You ran the heel of your shoe over, and the pressure on that toe has given you a corn. You are not going to blame it on me, are you?" "I deny that I ran my heel over!" he hotly exclaimed. "Nobody but a bow legged man does that, and the person who calls me bowlegged dies!" "But look at your shoe." she protest ed as she held it up. "You ought' to have had a lift put on there long ago." "And you you claim that It's my fault?" "Of course it is. You can't say it's mine." Mr. Bowser had come home with his tnind fully made up to stick to it that it was all Mrs. Bowser's fault and to give tier a very- uncomfortable hour over it, but he suddenly realized that he "had no case. He didn't want to let go all at once, however, and so he grbwlingly observed! "I have heard of wives filling their husbands' shoes 'With sand to. get re renge on them, and 1 warn you that I propose to sift this matter to the hot torn before I get through. By thunder, but It hurts! I shall probably be laid up for six or eight weeks with it, and who knows but I may lose my life? Do you think anything can be done? "Of course. It's what is called a cal lous corn, and it must have been hurt' ing you for days. I'll take one of your old razors and pare it down, and you 11 be an risnt. "Um! How do I know what you will do when you once get a razor in your ftarfds?" "Don't be silly. I'll get the footbath and some warm water, and after the corn has been softened up I'll pare it Off." A quarter of an hour later Mrs. Bow ser was ready. The foot was lifted out of the bath and wined dry and rested on her lap, and she ODened the razor to do business. "Woman, I don't want any nonsense over this matter!" warned Mr. Bowser as he drew uu his lee. "There won't be. Let your foot down and told still." Should you attempt to cripple me for life by giving my foot a swipe with tnat razor you must take .the conse quences!" "I will. Now, I'll take your toe in this hand and the razor in this and" "Look at that blamed old cat!" shout ed Mr. Bowser as he drew his foot away. "By the whiskers of Cicero, she is licking her chops and anticipating; a feast of blood!" Mrs. Rnwwr arnl un and drove the Cat down into the basement, and after con siderable delay Mr. Bowser leaned back in his chair and shut his teeth hard and closed his eyes. It was a light. deft hand that wielded the razor, and the jcorn.was all .ready to. be annimia ted, but at the first touch of steel he winked his toe and 'opened his mouth to say: t 'I don't believe I can stand it. il that rasor slips and cuts me, I m in for a case of blood toisonlng ana a norri- ble death. I'll wait till tomorrow ana go to a regular corn doctor. 'There will be no slip ana no Diooa poisoning," replied Mrs. Bowser. All you've got to do is to hold still for five minutes. I am always cutting corns ore my own feet Do have a little grit about you." Grit I Grit Woman, Hoo t taia to me about irrltr Tou have seen me sit ana have 14 teeth yanked out without tit tering a groan. I know the dangers of blood poisoning, however. What are you doing?" 'I'm going to pare ore your corn. You let it alone. I'll see about it tomorrow. I don't propose 'to wit my Jife in your hands. Stop that, I say!" 'Alia you wwii m nK'i-w corn, off?" asked Mrs. uowser as sne still held oh to the toe. 'No, never! Woman, don t you dare to fool with me! You can take your self upstairs, and Tt I think, it best rn whittle away at the corn myself. If I bring about my own death, there's no body else to blame. That old ca-ha come up again. Take ner along-wun you, or I'll slice her -blamed head oft!" Mrs. Bowser vacated without argu ment, nicking hp the cat as she went, and Mr. Bowser dropped his foot back into the bath, and shivered over his narrow escape. After about a quarter of an hour, however, his nerve began to return, and he wiped off his foot and decided to begin operations. He did it in a very gingerly manner, as if shaving his chin fox the first time, buc he had not made over five cuts at the corn when Mrs. Bowser heard a wild yell, followed by a heavy galloping around the room. "What on earth is it?" she asked as she came flying downstairs to find Mr, Bowser hopping about on one foot. "Send for the doctor!" he shouted in reply. "What for?" "I've cut my toe half off and shah be a dead .man if not treated-at once!" Mrs. Bowser telephoned for the doe tor., and it happened that he came at once. He found a small cut' and two drops- of blood on Mr. Bowser's toe. and he applied a bit of plaster. "Will will it be a case, of: blood poi soning?" was tremblingly asked as he was ready to go. "No," he gravely replied". "Nobody ever heard -of a donkey being afflicted with such an. ailment!" And when he had departed Mr. Bow ser glared at Mrs. Bowser for two or three minutes and then said: "The train which will take you 'back to your mother's house leaves at 10:10 tomorrow forenoon, and you'd better begin packing!" (Copyright, 1902,- by C. B. Lewis.) A Mathematical Problem, In his recent lecture at the Royal In stitution on the fascla'ating subject of "Magio Squares" Maj. P. A. MacMahon, P. R. S., reminded his audience of the existence of a curioue problem which, de spite its apparent simplicity, has never yet been solved. He commended it to the attention of any one present who desired to exercise his ingenuity and patience. The problem is as follows: There are thirty-six officers of six different ranks and drawn from six different regiments, and it is reouired to arrange them in a square of thirty-six compartments, so that in each row, as well as in each col umn, there appears an officer of each rank and also an officer from each regi ment. Euler'a "Recherche sur une nou velle espece de Quarres Magiques," which appeared in 1782, discusses this problem, but gives no solution, and the late Prof. Cayley, writing more than a century afterwards, confessed that it was beyond his powers. Maj. MacMahon, who nas added so much to ur knowledge of the theory of groups a fascinating branch of mathematics, which has an important bearing on many branches of physical science has not yet found a key to the mystery. Whoever can solve this problem or prove that it cannot be solved will achieve immortality on the. lips of mathe maticians and perhaps open a door into a new realm of the scientific wonderland which is called pure mathematics. Lon don Post. A LESSON IOLIRTATM. y tFrom the King.J V. Her ladyship was "at home'Jcot to all the world, but to the select few who happened to interest her in" that partic ular year of grace. There were no old friends among them. Lady" Bovril had very few old friends, ana sue. uia iiui encourage them. She used to say they were like old servants, and became im- 1 pudent as time went on. Besides, she liked a change, and the men well, it only took an intelligent mat three weeks to- find her out. There were usually about four women in the room, and they were carefully chosen for their uglineSss and patient j dispositions. Kvery one said she hired them to. irritate the men and increase their longing to escape to her side. It was certainly an Understood thing at Lady Bovril's that only one man was to sit by her at a time. She gave each one his turn, if he deserved it, and expected him to serve his seven years cheerfully in another corner of the room. Thai they were content-to do this is- a proof of the wonderful fascination she exer cised oven her admirers.' 4- Today, however, the young men rubbed their eyes and stared. What was.. Lady Bovril- thinking, of? There was a young and beautiful woman lan guidly sipping tea -on Lady Bovrirs own particular sofa it just held two. and was not, much exposed to the lights she mast have got in by accident," orX-force, or-guile. Their hostess would never have been so foolish as to ask a possible rival.- They were mistaken, however. She had been the subject of a special invita tion. The fact was. Mrs. Paunceforte' Deane was there to learn. She had not long been married, and had lived in the country all ber life. Lady Bovril had taken pity on her Ignorance, and- had asked her around to show her how things ought to be done. "My dear." she -had -said some days previously, "you really must have some admirers." "I have my huBband, Mrs. Deane had replied with provoking innocence. "lour nusoand? Yes. of course. So have I. But if your husband is the only" man who is going to admire you, you will soon lose your attractiveness in his eyes. Men like their wives to be run after. It gives them the pride of possession. They like to think that they have got what other men are longing for." "And what other men may take from them. Is it not rather dangerous. Lady Bovril?" "How seriously you take everything. child. There is no harm." "Not in playing with fire?" 'Fire! Fiddlesticks! Come around on Tuesday. I have a few people in. You will like them, I expect. They are rather different to the ordinary people, and I don't want all of them for myself." Mrs. Deane had laughed. But she was a girl, and liked something new, so she came around. Lady Bovril was very kind, gave her the second best man and the very best seat, and told all the oth ers how charming she was. "Fresh from the country, you know, Algy," she murmured, "where all the beautiful cows are, and buttercups and things. Isn't she lovely?" Algy- was fool enough to say "Yes," bo he was packed off before his time was up, and he made things so unpleas ant all around 'the other side of the room that the people dropped off one by one, and soon Lady Bovril and Mrs. Deane were left alone. "Well, my dear," said Lady Bovril, when Algy, who had stayed to see all the others driven out, had gone, "how have you been getting on?" "i don't think my husband will have any i-nnse to be jealous." Mrs. Deane replied, leaning back in a more comfor table position than she had hitherto al lowed herself. "Dear me,' how unfortunate you are. Tou don't know how to treat them, you siily child. You should have watched me. A lot can be done in that way. I suppose you talked about books and theaters and bicycles and all those sort of things," and Lady Bovril emiled con temptuously. "What else should I talk about to strangers?" replied the pupil rather wearily, for, to say the truth. Lady Bovrll'3 second best young man had not been very interested in anything. Lady Bovril laughed. "You absurd creature. Do you think that sort of Laaallaa'aaaaal IKIHliniHlumiulMti"i"iiiu"""'lluiimiimiHUUilimll iitilniiiiiHuii iiimu i nuiHu.im .......aaata.."

I believe Algy Dawson thinks that Lord Bovril beats me." Did you tell him so?" cried Mrs. Deane in disgust; No, you goose: but I always look very sad, and then brighten up when he comes and sits by me. It makes him think he is the one bright spot in my dark and desolate life. Of course he likes to think that." "How Insincere you people of London are," said Mrs. Deane, with a demure look on her face.- Then a mischievous light flashed Into her eyes, and she cried, "What fun!" ."Yes, dear. Tou see what you have missed In the country; but, as I say, you can learn a lot from me." "Do teach me. Lady Bovrill," the girl said, eagerly. "I think I think I should be a good pupil." "I can only repeat what I have 'said. Be personal: Personalities are the only proper topics of conversation between a man and a woman. Tou cannot be too personal. It is better even to be rude than to talk about bicycles." "Please go on," cried Mrs. Deane. "Well, you can talk all about other men If you like. Not in terms of abuse that is inartistic but as If they didn't matter. It Institutes pleasant mental comparisons in the man's mind. It is only verbal comparisons that are odi ous." Mrs. Deane jumped up. I must go. Lady Bovril. I could listen to you all day. Oh, you are clever. Good-by." A month afterward Mrs. Paunceforts Deane found Lady Bovril alone In her drawing room her "schoolroom," Mrs. Deane always called it. After a. few greetings. Lady Bovril came to the point. Has it been a success, dear?" she cried. Mrs. Deane nodded, and gave a smile suspiciously like one of triumph. "Sit down, dear, and tell me all about It." Lady Bovril smiled encouragingly and began to pour out some tea. "Well, nrst or ail. Who is he?" Mrs. Deane blushed. "Oh, I don't think I ought to tell you that. He- he is married, and it might "Well, well, it doesn't matter." she replied, rather sharply. "All men are the same. Tou are young yet, and will soon get over tnat feeling. I don't un derstand it myself, and you and I are also married for that matter." Mrs. Deane looked relieved. I was afraid you would be vexed," she said, would tuuuc A aaa peruana con too far." "Is he sufficiently fascinatin?" Lady riovrii as ne a. mat ts the thing. That. in ract. is tne only excuse." "He is one of the most charmlne men have ever met," replied Mrs. Deane, with fervor.

In the matter. She recovered, however. "You sweet, innocent thing," she contin ued, "you will soon learn that nothing is ever done in earnest." Mrs. Deane rose and smiled. "Perhaps," she said sweetly, "perhaps I may some day attain to your position. Lady -Bovril. As yet I am too young. I am sorry for the harm I have done. "Tou ridiculous child, yon have done no harm. Must you be going? Ooodby, dear, lie will get over it. I am rather proud of my udU's success." Mrs. Deane moved toward the door. "I think," she said quietly, "that Lord Bov ril is one of the best-hearted, most" Lady Bovril rose and knocked down a -plate. "Mrs. Paunceforte Deane! she said witn some oigmty. "Oh, Lady Bovril, I am so sorry." There was a sly twinkle, in her eye all the same. "I thought you said there was no harm. I didn't think you would mind. Tour pupils must practice, you know." Aa a matter of fact. Lord Bovril said that he had never even met Mrs. Paunce forte Deane, and I am not quite sure that the poor man was not sptslrlng the truth. He ought, however, to be very thankful to her. Lady Bovril does not give lessons ia flirtation now. A Curious Fraud. From the London Post. A singularly impudent attempt at what one can only term a fraud was perpetrated a few days ago. Some prints were offered for sale to an entirely inexperienced person at a considerable price. They were de scribed as genuine Impressions by Barto lozxl, but were, in fact,, prints from half tone process blocks, cleverly colored and a little stained. They had been mounted and framed In black and the backs stuck down with leaves from a French 18th cen tury book. Of course, to an experienced eye the deception was immediately appa rent, but many people do not know one process of Illustration from another, and might easily rely upon the appearance of age and the good faith of the seller.

MICH- ITT.. 1 Supremo -Organizer Ladies of Honor. 1825 Vinewood Avenue, Dktroit, Mich., Feb. 13, 1902. For seven years I did not know what it was to be well. At that time I slipped and fell, straining myself inwardly. I paid little attention to it at first, but soon I found that I had habitual backache and a peculiar sick feeling at my stomach. The right side of my bowels ached and if I was on my feet a couple of hours at a time I would give out completely. I began coughing and thought I was getting consumption but the doctor told me this was on ac count of my weak condition, that I was in reality troubled with falling of the womb. My menstruation was very irregular. Some times it would stop for two or three months and again I flowed so much there was danger I would flow to death. I now became con vinced that the doctors could not help me and as I saw an adver tisement of your Wine of Cardui I decided to try it. It brought me quick relief, the nausea stopped, my appetite improved, gradually my pains stopped and I felt how my entire system was being renewed. I have now been a well and happy woman for over a year, thanks to Wine of Cardui. IT is little wonder Miss St. Elmore was discouraged in the search for health. There is hardly a physi cian who would hesitate to call such a case chronic and incurable. But Wine of Cardui has cured thousands of such cases. To cure sickness of seven years' standing the treatment must be thorough. Wine of Cardui, to regulate the menstrual flow, be gins at the fundamental principle that of allowing the poisonous waste to be discharged naturally and health fully. This removes all irritation and inflammation. Wine of Cardui brings relief as a mild aid to Nature in removing the causes of sickness. The proper flow of the menses re lieves the blood of impurities and allows pure blood to build up and strengthen the afflicted organs and WINE of CARPUS The Most Colossal, Beautiful and Thrilling 0pen4ir 1 Summer Sight Spectacular Exhibition ZN THE WORLD A TRAGIC PAGE FROM ROMS HISTORY DEPICTED H LIVES OF FIRE AAD TO.YES OF TBIXDER.

The explosion in the mine" has been made very vivid. peno THEATRICAL NEWS Both Houses Will Be Open Next Week. The Grace Hayward Company at the Crawford.

GRAND OPERA. HOUSE. Four nights, beginning Wednesday, the Boston Bijou Opera eompany. Visitors to the races' and exDOsition next week will find a pleasing array of entertainment repared for tr.eir even ings at the theaters. The Grace Hay ward company, one of the strongest repertorie organizations in the country, and managed by Dick Ferris, will oiler a great variety or bills during its week at the Crawford. At the Grand the Boston Bijou Opera com;ar.y that spent the summer at the Broadway, Denver s swell playhouse, will uegin a four-day engagement on Wednesday niiht. Dick Ferris has made a reputation all over the country as a promoter of com panies playing repertoire. As a natural result his enterprises have expanded. This season he has the Grace Hayward company, Ferris Comedians and a stock company permanently located at the pretty Lyceum theater, Minneapolis Tte Grace Hayward company played all summer at the Boyd, the big Omaha playhouse. Last week it spent n the pretty Oliver theater. Lincoln, where it drew crowds nishtly. The Grace Hay ward company is probably Ferris" strongest attraction, and it is regarded as an especially good offering for race week. The organization is large, cairies its own scenery and promises a good list of plays for the week at the Craw ford The opera companies singing- the old standard operas must take a back seat for the Boston Bijou Opera company, which will come to the Grand Wednes day night for the remainder of the week. "The Geisha." "The Highway man" and other up-to-date works are found in the list that it will give at the Grand Opera house. These operas have never been beard here, though they are among the big successes of the past few seasons, and were toured altar long runs in New York. "The Geisha" is the charming Japanese musical comedy that ran so long at Daly's in New York with Edwin Steevens. Virginia Earle, Dorothy Morton and other favor ites in the cast. It was the first ven ture into music of Augustin Daly, who afterwards brought "A Runaway Girl" on this side. "The Highwayman" is DeKoven and Smith"s comic opera, in which Jerome Sykes made so much of the part of "Foxy Quiller" that another opera em bodying the character as its principal aim and object had to be written. "The Highwayman" ran all season at th Broadway, New York. The Boston Bijou Opera company should give great productions of these operas, for it carj ries forty people and a big lot of scen ery, costumes and effects. LAST DATS OF FOMPEIL Will Be in Topeka the Week of Sep tember 15. Pompeii is to be destroyed again. Not the ancient city that nestled among the Italian hills at the foot of Mount Ve suvius, but the big scenic city in Pain's vast spectacle of "Last Days of Pom peii," that will be seen in Topeka for the entire week commencing Septem ber 15. This mimic city represents, with ideal accuracy, the fated city that perished in the first century of the Christian era. The scenery used in this production cov ers an area of fully four acres of ground, but so deceptive is the perspec tive that it appears to spread out over many times that space. The view is said to be marvelously correct and histor ically accurate, being like what the archaeologists now suppose the ancient city was at the time it was destroyed. The whole effect under the glare of half a hundred arc lights and calciums is most beautiful. As one sits in the amphitheater and gazes on the scene before him he sees the tall Vesuvius with its head raised against the sky; below are the houses, temnles, arches, etc., and to properly represent these latter many real structures twenty to forty feet in height are blended in with the "picture" in the background. The scene opens with a fete day In the ancient city, and for upwards of an hour the audience is entertained with vivid production of the sports and feats of the hippodrome, exciting; chariot races, sensational aerial and acrobatic acts, rretty ballets, iaiposir.g and por geouslyt ostumed processions, choruses, music, 'etc. The tragic dramatic epi sodes of the spectacle are shown in pantomime. The fetes are Interrupted by the ter rific eruption of Vesuvius and the de struction of the city by the earthquake, which is a scene thrilling beyond de scription, and brings into action all the skill and ingeniousness of Pain's artists. This huge pyrothechnic and spectac ular exhibition is totally unlike any other traveling amusement enterprise on earth; in fact, there is even no per manent attraction, either in Europe or America, that rivals it in magnitude or interesting features. Following these stirring scenes, there is presented a beautiful exhibition of fireworks, and those who have seen these phyrotechnics of the famous Pain have never realized the full meaning of the word before. Railroads will make special rates from all surrounding towns on the dates of the exhibition. ANIMALS THAT ACT. Trained Bears, Seals and Elephants With Kingling's Circus. The trained animal features presented with Ringling Bros. famous big circus this year are so remarkable as to excite extraordinary interest. Never before in the history of arenic entertainment have so many trained animal novelties been presented in a single performance, and never before have so much time and money been utilized to secure new and sensational animal acts. This depart ment of the greac show would alone stamp it as the greatest exhibition of its kind ever organized. The trained animal features with Ringling Bros. circus are so numerous, and their merits are so uniform, that it is difficult to say which should be given a leading position in the list. Perhaps the most interesting, and in some respects the most remarkable, are Webb's juggling seals. Capt. Webb is the originator of the trained seal acts, and though efforts have been made to Imitate his work, it has never been sue- cess fully accomplished. Although an American, Capt. Webb has been abroad for many years, and his trained seals have been the sensation of England and the continent. These seals present prac tically every juggling trick that the cleverest human juggler can perform balancing and catching batons, tossing balls in the air, handling firearms, and performing similar feats, besides play ing musical instruments and actually singing songs with a fair approach to miiody. Prof. Wood's dog and pony circus is also one of the novelties of this aenartment of the show. It is the r.iopt novel act of its kind now before tue public. There are numerous other trcmed animal features, prominently among which are Pearl Souder's world -fftiiK.us comedy elephants. There are 3t r.f these curious animals, and the ex hibition they give cannot be duplicated anywhere else on earth. They are the marvel of the age, and create a. sensa tion wherever they are seen. These marvelous trained animal performances which will be seen in Topeka, Septem ber 23, are given in connection with the most stupendous triple-ring circus in the world, the costliest and most com plete menagerie ever organized and the most exciting hippodrome that the eyes of ancient or modern ever looked upon.

Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day, to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. Kansas farmers are busy that enormous corn crop is attention. now for requiring Isn't the British Trades Union con gress, a little late in declaring against the South African war? Coxey's business enterprises seem to have been no more successful than his venture in the military line. Clyde isn't a. very big town, but if its energy was put into Topeka things would be moving1. There's such a thing aa making a trolley ride a matter too strenuous even for President Roosevelt. There may be a real war between the army and navy to prove whether the battleships were really put out of action by the forts. Uncle Sam ought not to be too hard on the Central American republics that are practicing the art of war. He is having a war game too. Elections continue to go in the same old way. The Democrats carried Ar kansas as easily as tha- Republicans won in Vermont. If Mr. Pain's Mt. Vesuvius is going to be anything like Mt. Pelee, now is a good time to go to Colorado, or some other place of high altitude.' Now if Cider Smith and the govern ment will agree on a dry period for next week the fair directors and Topeka generally will return thanks. There is one question upon which the political editors have not yet discoursed. Who has cornered the carriages for the coming fall election, Stahl pr Lucas? Mont Pelee is getting altogether too obstreperous. If It had been located in Topeka, there would have been an in junction out against it long ago. Jointists 'will take warning from the chilly reception which the police com mittee gave Robert Pigg. There is nothing official about Topeka's saloons. They are still running contrary to law. Topeka may not be much worried by the terrible attack which the navy is making on the Atlantic coast, but just wait until the Ft. Riley manoeuvers be gin if vou want to see this old town throw up breastworks. When you see a man in Topeka wear ing a piece of green ribbon, do not imagine that the man is necessarily an Irishman, or that this is March 17. It Is only a sign that Kansas Derby day Is September 29. And by the way; to be strictly a member of the push, you must pronounce it "Darby." HELP THE FAIR' The first step toward an annual state fair will be made when the Kansas Ex position is (opened Monday. It is the hope of those interested in the venture that the state legislature will come to the aid of the exposition and enable the fflcers to make it what it should be, an annual state fair where all the prod nets and resources of Kansas may be exhibited and an attraction which will bring people from neighboring states to see the proof of the richness of our commonwealth. The hoDe of a state fair is not en tangled by any money making ideas. What the cattle raisers, the horsemen. the farmers, the fruit raisers, the miners and the manufacturers of the entire state wish is a state fair where all can exhibit thair wares and pro4 ucts. What the Kansas State exposi tion hopes to do is to afford this oppor tunity. Tie desire of the directors is that the fair crounds may be provided with substantial and suitable buildings for the disnlay of the various classes and departments. A private enterprise an not accomplish this in a short time. It" will take years. Therefore, the leg islature should make appropriations fpr the erection of stables, pavilions' and large display ,buildings. In Iowa and other states the legisla tures aid the state fairs. At Des Moines a. .45,000 navilion shas been built this fear with state funds, There, during the Iowa state fair, the livestock Is ex- hibited. The Kansas Exposition com- j pany has taken the first step and now j the legislature will be asked to lend a hand. The aid asked for should be given. MUST ASPHALT OOF One. of the prides of Topeka is its miles of asphalt pavement. It is one of the things which visitors, to the city are first to comment upon. It distin guishes Topeka from scores of other cities of equal size. As a pavement tt has advantages which no other material can ever equal, t r Serious Question is now being raised, however, as to the advisability of doing away with the asphalt, and substituting for it the more commonplace vitrified brick. It would be one of the most radical changes which has ever occurred in the history of Topeka's street Im provement. It would cost an immense sum of money. It would be a move which to say the least is Questionable, and would merit much serious study and investigation. There are many grave objections to. asphalt pavement, and the chief one Is no doubt the fact that the asphalt com panies of the country, excepting possibly the natural rock asphalt companies, are parties to an iron-bound trust which has the asphalt supply completely within its grip. To all intents and purposes, To peka is at the mercy of the trust, for it is claimed that such pavement as we have can pot be repaired by companies outside of the trust Being bound hand and foot to this trust, Topeka is obliged to pay exorbitant prices for asphalt re pairs, and regardless of bonds and con tracts, is apparently unable to hold the trust to its agreements. Moreover, it is patent that the asphalt pavements in Topeka are getting old and beginning to wear out. The repair bill is increasing from year to year. How long can the city stand this heavy drain on its general funds, which is gel ting larger as the pavements get older? Even today the asphalt on many, blocks is in deplorable condition, and it would require the expenditure of thousands of dollars to restore them to anything like good condition. It is only natural that property own ers on asphalt paved streets should fight hard against repaving those streets with vitrified brick. They have only recently finished paying the tremendous cost of the asphalt pavement. It looks like In justice to now saddle upon them another burden in the shape of a repavement tax. The law on this point, however, attorneys say is quite plain. If the streets are to be repaved with brick, it is the property holders on the street who must pay for it, not the city at large. Possibly some arrangements can be made by which the city at large can de vote several thousand dollars a year, which otherwise would be used In re pairing the asphalt, in assisting, block by block, the property holders to replace the asnhalt with brick. The work of changing could be carried on gradually, repaving those blocks first which are most in need of repairs. In the course of ten years the change could probably be accomplished. Meantime temporary repairs with pulverized stone could be made on the worst places in the asphalt streets. Topeka would regret to lose Its pre eminence in the aristocracy of asphalt. but if asnhalt does not fill the bill, it must go and unless constant repairs are made, it will go very fast from now on. it should be saved If possible. INVASION OP THE TROLLEY. The part which the trolley car seems destined to play in even the rural life of the American citizen is little realized by the average person, especially in the west, where the rural trolley is by no means common. A few weeks ago Al bert Bigelow Paine, a formerly-of-Kan-sas man, by the way, started from New York to ride by trolley to Chicago, or to cover as much of the distance as possible in that manner.- He actually rode about half the distance, using steam cars for the balance. It was possible to ride through the entire state of Ohio with the exception of a short (distance between Painesville and Ash tabula.and plans are already under way to fill this gap. The cars sped along through the country at the rate of thir XT miles an. hour or more,' stopping wherever necessary at cross roads to let oft or take on rural passengers. The cars are fine electric coaches. There are also express cars running on the rural lines la Ohio, cars which stop at the very doors of the farmers and take on all sorts of produce, even to horses and cattle, and carried away; to market in the city. l was especially Impressed," says Mr. Paine, in writing ef his experiences in the World's Work for September, "by the- use which the Ohio farmers make of the electric roads. They do hof now find It necessary to drive to town with their farm produce. They get on every where with baskets of eggs, fruit and vegetables, and go home laden with' sup plies. No more taking the horses from the plow, or chasing the family nag up and down a long field, to drag through mud or dust at last to the village a ted ious trip in, a toilsome journey home at evening., Nothing to do now but load up the baskets, signal the car, and clang, buzz, and away to town to ar rive there -quickly and cleanly, in time to finish business and be at home for dinner, or to go on to the next town or city, if village markets prove unsatls factory. And all at so slight a cost. The team left at home can earn enough to pay the fares over arid over again. Mr. Paine makes some suggestions re garding the future of the trolley line which' brings forward some new ideas. The trolley line is undoubtedly only In its infancy, although some of the cen tral states, Ohio especially, is already almost network of rural trolley lines, The line which it is proposed to build from Topeka to Dover may be only the beginning of an extensive system which shall connect most of the towns of Kan sas within a few years. It wTild not be surprising, at the rate the trolley idea is advancing, U within the next de' cade It will be possible to go by trolley from Denver to Boston. And with it the trolley will bring oth er advantages to the farmer. Air. Paine believes that within ten years four fifths at the arms adjacent to electric lines will be supplied by them with power for pumping, threshing and run ning plows and other farm macmnery. The machines will be run by electric motors and charged by the electric line. Trolley cars will take the produce' to market the same as they already do in some pafts of Ohio. The old-time ped dling wagon may be succeeded by a store in a trolley car which will go through the country, bringing the store directly to the doors of the farmers. Many Americans, too, Mr, Paine thinks. will have private trolley cars, fitted up with all the conveniences of a home, in which they may take their outings and travel through the country at will, the same as multimillionaires who own private railroad cars. The heating, lighting and cooking of such cars will all be done by electricity, and the occu pants can go where the trolley lines run, paying for the right of their oars to run over the lines they use. WHY SCHOOLS ARE 70X1 One of the pleasing Influences which the prevailing "good times" and most people who have a natural Inclination toward' optimism will admit that they have been "good" for many months is that upon the educational conditions of the country. The subject If especially timely this very week. Within the next fortnight all over this great country the universities, colleges. high and common schools will swing their doors to admit the army of young men ahd women who are to enter and pre pare themselves for the realities of to morrow's bumps with the world. And there has been such a general abund ance of work for tbose who were willing to seize their opportunities for engaging in the same, and the compensation has been so fair that it has placed many a boy or girl who had put off his college education from one semester to anotner. in such a position to undertake the pur suit of this long coveted ambition for betterment of self. And by this it is not to be understood that every boy or giti who has had a desire to get a scholastic training is the son or daughter of par ents in abject poverty. But the homes from which come the best students, who later round out into the most capable citizenship, are those of the young peo ple who when times are bard have to give up some of their plans and remain at home to assist in the support of the family. Or perhaps if unhampered in that way they have found conditions such that they have not been able to lay by a sum that would warrant them un dertaking a course of study away Hon home, and so it has been denied them until the prosperous era of this time. The prospects indicate that the en rollment in all the institutions of learn ing will be larger than any past fallt and largely for this prosperity wflicn as mentioned has cleared the way for the young people in one way or another, directly or indirectly, dependent upon their own resources for support. Is this condition resulting. It should be a mat ter of felicitation to this great expand ing nation. ARE THEY OFFICERa On the 9th of last month, Francis Lewis, a crippled soldier, aged 68 years, was walking along on Fourth street near Kansas avenue when a man in a carriage ran over him. The old man was struck so suddenly that he did not even see the man or his rig to describe him. Officers Parcells and Chas. uno- say supported the old man to the cor ner, where they left him in a dazed con dition. He claims he heard one of the officers say he knew the man who drove over him. Both officers claimed later that they did not know the man. al though they failed to stop him or take his name, as customary in such cases. The old man thinks it looks suspicious ly like the officers had some reason for shielding the driver, and is confident that he heard one of them say he knew the man and knew where he lived, al though he was in a dazed condition and cannot remember what name the officer gave him. Of course the police would back a reckless driver who drove over l old man in this manner, for they failed to show any concern about the result? JAYHAWKER JOTS.

There is probably no man in the world whose ideas of pleasure are more per verted than the one who makes love to two women a tonce. In the servant girl problem some wo men seem to have tried every means of getting along except that of teaching their daughters to do housework. Men abuse a woman who comes down town and roars, but when ever the butcher or baker offends every man sends his wife to complain about It. Most men seem to take pleasure in annoying each other. Ever remark how much you admire the man who makes you feel better after meeting him? There is some excuse when a father pajss for ills children to take musia lessons, but can you conceive of an ex cuse for the husband who gives his wife a musical education? It is recalled that the Atchison man who once ran away with a girl, desert ing his wife and children, had always carried pictures of his family with him wherever he went. Where did the idea originate that there is money in a tea store in Atchison? Half a dozen men have made failures in this venture, but there is probably a man somewnere unnking that if he can get to it first he can make a fortune by operating a tea store in Atchison?
