t1 rf LAST EDITION FRIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA. KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 19. 1902. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. rrv i i i 1 i t I i r i i i i n NEW CITYVACTOn Union Labor Hen to Hare Can didate for Mayor. Will Also Nominate Candidates for Conneilinen. PLANS NOT COMPLETE. Question Will Be Discussed in the Unions. Leaders Say They Want Union Men in Office. There Is to be a union labor ticket lit the field at the next city election, with a candidate for mayor and candidates for member of the city council from tome, and possibly all of the wards of the city. This has been decided upon by the union labor leaders of the city, and within the next month will be present ed to the various unions of the city. It will then come before the Trades' Coun cil, which is the central organization of the union labor movement. A prominent union man said today: "If the labor unions continue to grow In the next six months as they have grown in the past six months we will certainly elect a union labor man as mayor of the city of Toieka." In the First, Second and Fifth wards there are likely to be candidates for members of the city council. Candi dates may also be nominated In the other wards, but the big vote of the unions will be In the First, Second and Fifth. Union men believe that the Fifth ward Is almost certain to go for the union candidates by a large majority. It is claimed as a "stronghold." If the unions can place popular men In the field, and especially can nominate a strong candidate for mayor, there is no doubt that the union labor ticket will be very formidable, and may be successful. Five thousand votes in a three-cornered fight would almost mean certain victory. As yet the plans of the union labor leaders are unformed and if they have decided upon a candidate for mayor they are careful to keep his name se cret. It would not do for It to appear that anybody has fixed up a slate, for union men would not be likely to stand for anything of that sort. It Is verj likely that Editor Luey of a labor paper will be nominated for some office, as he, with C. F. Ceilley, are the owners of the paper which will no doubt be the official organ of the union labor polit ical campaign. When asked today, for Information concerning the plans of the union labor men to place a ticket in the field, Mr. Luey was very reticent, and asserted that he could give out nothing concern ing the situation because it had not de veloped sufficiently. "For three months." said Mr. Luey, "we have been quietly discussing this matter, and all I can say is that it is certain that the union labor people of Topeka will have a ticket in the field at the next city election. I have no Idea who will be the candidates. That has not been discussed. Within a month or six weeks the matter will be officially brought before the various unions, and some definite action taken. I do not know how the candidates will be nomi nated, but it will probably be by some kind of a caucus." Mr. Luey was asked whether the un ion vote w'ould be likely to hang togeth er, in view of the probability of the hot campaign between the prohibition and resubmission forces. He said: "Union laborers recognize no prohibi tion or resubmission men within their ranks. What they want Is union men in the offices. The unions will hang to gether regardless of old political affilia tions. They have done so in other cities and will do so here." Asked as to the approximate voting strength of the unions In Topeka at the present time. Mr. Luey said: "I can not give an estimate on our strength, but I believe that by the time of the city election we will have enough strength so that the politicians will find that they have to consider us very ser iously. We can elect our men if we continue to gain strength as we have been gaining." C. F. Ceilley, the labor organizer, who has recently purchased an Interest in the Labor Champion, and will make his home here, expects to continue actively his work of organizing unions and in creasing the membership of those which already exist. He will be here during the coming campaign, and will no doubt be one of the strongest speakers for the union labor stump. The union men claim that It was their votes which elected E. B. Snyder as councilman from- the Second ward, and because of his attitude on the Vine wood Dark railway franchise they threaten to beat him in the next elec tion. Snyder was at one time a union man, and the union laborltes assert that for that reason they believed him to be their friend and supported him at the polls instead of his Republican op ponent. On the other hand union labor re ceived a black eye in the Fourth ward in the last election, where the -unions made a bitter fight on Councilman W. F. Weber and lost. That fight indi cated that in the Fourth ward, at least, the union labor vote is not strong enough to dominate. Union labor mayors seem to be get ting to be quite the fashion. Among the large cities of the country which have elected union labor candidates fo mayor within the past year or two are San Francisco, Hartford. Des Moines. Bridgeport, and Clinton, Iowa. If To peka does elect a union man to the office of mayor, she will be In good com cany. Conditions in Toneka are somewhat different from what they are in some of the cities which have elected union labor mayors, however. In some of those cities the old parties had given very corrupt administrations, and peo ple desired a radical change. In To peka, the mighty Issue of the campaign is prohibition or anti-prohibition, and it is Questionable whether the unions are strong enough yet to make the issue of unionism take precedence over these two old issues. Many union men are likely to consider it more important to one of the two old issues Instead of voting for union candidates. Temperatures of Large Cities. Chicago. Sept. 19.

"Cider" Smith said today: "We are between two storm periods, which calls for fair weather. At the same time the autumnal equinox is close by. I should say showers are possible, with a storm period the 24th." The government forecaster seems to agree with Col. Isaiah Munson Smith, and sends out the following: "Showers tonight and Saturday. Warmer to night" Therefore the government and the Kansas weather prorhet can have no argument today. Observer Jennings fears that Pompeii may be interrupted, but he hones not. The corn and wheat region bulletin is sued today by Observer Jennings says: "Partly cloudy, weather- generally pre vails over the state this morning, but no rain has fallen. The temperature has fallen slightly in the southeastern counties but risen over the rest of the state. The temperature has risen in the Kansas' City, Omaha and Minneap olis districts, but fallen in the St. Louis, Indianapolis and Chicago districts. Some rain has fallen in all but the Omaha, Mtneapolis and Des Moines districts." The report of the maximum and mini mum temperatures is as follows: Stations Max. Mln.

Henderson Will Continue as Speaker to End of His Term. Dubuque, la., Sept 19. The Repub lican congressional committee of the Third district decided to call a conj vention at New Hampton, la., Septem ber 25, to consist of the delegates to tht convention which nominated Speaker Henderson to nominate a candidate to succeed him. This action was taken after a consideration f the Iowa elec tion law. The committee members called upon General Henderson and re quested him to reconsider his with drawal. He declined to do so, saying bis decision was final. Before adjourn ing the committee -adopted the follow ing statement: "It is with deep regret that- we find ourselves compelled to reconvene the delegates of this district for the purpose of naming a candidate for election to represent this district in the national house of representatives. This is espe cially true when we realize that the necessity of such action is caused by the refusal of our present member to accept the nomination heretofore ten dered him unanimously by a conven tion called. In his declination we feel that we lose an able, capable leader of great worth and national prominence, such as can be attained only by one of sturdy character, unusual ability and ripened experience in the field of states manship. We part with him as a leader with reluctance. While thus compelled to release Speaker Henderson, we do so with no feeling that the selection of his successor will be without merit or that it will result in any danger to the Republicans of this district in the com ing election." It is announced that Speaker Hender son does not intend to resign the speak ership at the coming session of con gress. The statement that Speaker Hender son will not resign was made by his secretary in reply to a direct question. He, however, would Bay nothing fur ther. FIVE TRAINMEN DEAD. As Result of Head-on Collision at Witmer, Pa. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 19. Five train men were killed and two seriously In jured as the result of a head-on collis ion between Buffalo, Rochester Pitts burg and Pittsburg Western pas senger trains near Witmer station on the P.

Rochester Pittsburg and the Pittsburg Western railroads oc cupy the" same tracks to Butler, Pa. About a half mile this side of Witimr station is a long curve. A freicit train became disabled and as work Is being done on a new tunnel it necessitated Hi trains being run on the other track By some mistake it is said, the traj.ia ver allowed to come together Instead of noiamg one until the other had passed. Return of the TLetis. Seattle. Wash., Sept. 19. A special from Port Townsend to the Post-Intelligencer says: The fact has developed that the reason for the early return of the revenue cutter Thetis is that the vessel was ashore during a recent visit to Mushlhak river in Alaska, sustaining such damage that Cap tain Healy hurried down here where the vessel could go on dock for the purpose of examination. She was hogged, that is, her hull was bent from shape, necessitat ing a repainting of the water line. She will sail for San Francisco tomorrow. Nominated on the lOOth Ballot. Easton, Pa, Sept 19.

The Socialists of the Nineteenth Judi cial district, composed of Cowley and Sumner, counties, have even nominated a candidate for district Judge. iHe is George L. Brown of Arkansas City. It is claimed that the Socialists in that part of the state will poll a big Vote. Frank Rockefeller, who is the nomi nee of the fusionists for member of the legislature from RusseM county, is eald to be a cousin of the Standard Oil mag nate. The fusionists expect to elect him. Holton Recorder; A Holton man claims to have positive information that Kelly Is innocent of the charges and that, the guilt rests on another man. This information is too good to keep. He should impart it to Mr. Kelly and his friends who have been groping about "vainly seeking ah t explanation which would extricate the candidate fot treasurer from the web which the proven evidence in Miami county has woven about him. The row among" the Republicans In Neosho county is said to have been set tled; not because the Chanute crowd is any more satisfied with the county tick et itself, but because the fusionists did Just as bad as the Republicans in se lecting a county ticket. The Republican leaders who were afraid their county ticket might be defeated a few weeks ago are now .entirely satisfied. They succeeded in working a scheme on the fusionists whereby the latter selected a ticket which will be scratched, it is claimed, worse than the Chanute people threatened to scratch the Republican ticket i Lawrence journal: In Ms speech at Leavenworth Congressman Curtis said he did not oppose President Roose velt's reciprocity plan, and the Leaven worth Times offers to give $100 to each charitable institution in the city if Mr. Curtis will, get "a sighed statement from his fellow; members of the con gressional aeiegation stating mat ne aia not oppose and vote against President Roosevelt's Cuban reciprocity measure in the caucus. Here is a chance for Congressman Curtis to make a nice present to each or tne several charitable institutions, of Leavenworth. Senator Harris has sailed for home from Europe and is expected to reach New Tork about September 25. He will probably come west shortly afterwards and begin his campaign in Kansas about October 1. M. m; Beck,' of the Holton Recorder, registers a guess on the senatorial sit uation and gives his reasons, in the fol lowing: "Nearly all the .representative districts in the state have now nomi nated their Republican candidates for the legislature and it becomes an inter esting pastime for newspapers and poli ticians to speculate as to how the next house -and senate-will stand on. United States senator. This speculation in newspapers would, be more interesting if the estimates were the honest, can-, did opinions of the writers instead of a lot of figures made for the sole purpose of booming some senatorial aspirants or for. the purpose of downing some body or some faction. It is a good long while until next January, when the sen atorial election will take place. Be tween now and then there will be an election and some of the candidates will probably be beaten, and Harris men elected to cast the. vote. There is ample time for others to change their minds when they see what they think is the band wagon coming down the pike. Certainly no one at this time has any thing like a cinch on the United States senatorshin. "The Recorder is going to register a guess as. to about .the relative strength of the various aspirants on the first ballot. We may be a thousand miles off, but here goes. Mr. Long will lead. Sec ond place will be closely contested be tween Stanley and Curtis, with Calder head No. 4 and Bowersock probably dis tanced.' The logic of putting Mr. Long in the lead is sustained by the conceded fact that he now occupies a leading place in congress and is regarded as an able and useful man, together with the fact that he represents the largest. dis trict in the state." -t Smlth'Center. -Kan.,, Sept 19Tesler- oy was political aay at the Smith county reunion. There was a crowd of fully 5.000 people present and the big tent was filled to Its utmost capacity all day. The-oratore were ex-Congressman Jerry Botkin and Col. Fred Close for the fusionists, and W. J. Bailey and Henry. J. Allen for. the Republicans. The meeting was not a Joint debate bnt the speeches were all good ones. The date of-the Socialist congressional convention in the FlrBt district has been changed from September 29 to September 22. John G. Curry, chairman, and Frank Curry, secretary, of the congressional committee, so announce and sav that the change Is made for legal reasons. Nom inations for- congressmen are due to be filed with the secretary of state forty days before the election, and September 29 would be too late for this. The Topeka Democratic Flambeau club proposes to stand up for E. E. Brown and his "Observer" -in opposition to the fusion state committees, and W. H. Craddock. It passed the following resolution last night: "Whereas, This community has long been oppressed by a social and semi political despotism, engineered by a small band of fanatics, and 'Whereas, The Observer is the- first newspaper in many yeara to intelligently and ably antagonise this fanatical element which has retarded the growth and de velopment of the city of Topeka and made it the laughing stock of the state and country; therefore, be it "Resolved, By the Kansas Democratic Flambeau club that we heartily indorse The Observer in Its course and hereby pledge It our support," SVERDRUP RETURNS. Another Arctic Explorer Conies Back After Four Years. Hangesund, Norway, Sept. 19.

STEEL COLOSSUS WINS Higher Court Decides That Con version Scheme is 0. K. Trenton, N. J., Sept. 19. The court of errors and appeals this afternoon by a vote of 8 to 3 decided in favor of the United States Steel corporation in the suit brought by Mrs. Berger to re strain the "corporation from converting 200,009,000 1 per cent preferred stock into 5 per cent second mortgage bonds. Vice Chancellor Emery in the court below granted an injunction restraining the company from carrying out its pur pose. The decision of the court of er rors and appeals today is a reversal of the vice chancellor and .leaves the United States Steel corporation free to carry out its project so far as the. Ber ger litigation is concerned. No opinion was filed, the court simply announcing its decision. The opinion will be filed later. DEAD inCANAL. Nude Body of a Woman Found at Jersey City. Twenty Pound Weight Attached by a Hitching Strap. SKULL IS FRACTURED And There Was a Stab Wound in the Abdomen. Identity Established by Testi mony of Her Husband. New Tork, Sept 19. Detectives of New York, Jersey City and other near by cities in New Jersey are working to gether to unravel the mystery of the death of Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, whose nude body was found yesterday in the Morris canal in the outskirts of Jersey City, under circumstances indicating murdar. The husband of the woman, a tailor of this city, was brought from Jersey City to police headquarters in this city early today and closely questioned. Sergeant Phaler, in charge of the de tective bureau, last night said that Pulitzer told the police that he was out at the primary elections on Tuesday night, and that when he got homa he decided to have a light repast and asked his wife to prepare some coffee. He discovered there was none in the house and she went to get some, and also some bread and fruit According to the police, Pulitzer learned later that his wife had been to the bakery for the bread and there he lost trace of her. Sergeant Phaler added that Pulitzer had made a statement to the New York detectives which was considered so im portant that it would not be made nubUc. Mrs. Eva Fleming, who keeps the boarding house where the Pulitc-jis lived, at 160 West Forty-sixth street, said the couple had been living there about four weeks, that they were quiet and that she had seen Mrs. Pulitzer only two or three times and would not be able to recognize her. She said Pulit zer told her they had been married about five years. The story told by Mrs. Fleming about Mrs. Pulitzer going out for eatables on Tuesday night differs somewhat from that given out at the detective bureau. According to Mrs. Fleming, Pulitzer told her. 'after his wife's disappearance and before it was known she had been murdered that he had come at about 11 o'clock Tuesday night feeling sick and that his wife suggested she would get some fruit for him. He told her that the streets were crowded with men who had been attending the primaries and that it would not be wise for her to go out. She disregarded his advice however, and taking off some of her Jewelry, went out for the fruit and that was the last he saw of her until he identified her body at the Jersey City morgue. At the detective bureau this morning it was said that the Central office had been notified by the Newark police to be on the lookout for a black runabout with solid rubber tires and also for a small bay horse, both of which have been missing from tbe livery stable of a man named Mulllns since yesterday morning. The police say that Pultzer formerly had a business of his own, but gave it up and of late has been working at times for his brother who has a tailor store In this cltv. The dead woman was a Dane. 1 G. M. Pulitzer, a brother of Joseph, call ed at police headquarters this morning and was closeted with the detectives. The discovery of the body was made by the driver of an express wagon, passing along the plank road on the bank of the canal on the Meadows. An attempt had been made to sink it with a 20-pound iron weight attached to a long hitching strap, the other end of which was tied around the waist. A long stab wound was found in the abdomen' and a later examination by Countv Physician Converse- revealed the fact that the woman's skull was frac tured. Dr. Converse thought that prob ably two days had elapsed since the wo man was killed, but that the body had been in the water only a few hours. The body was removed to Jersey City and Chief of Police Murphy put all his avail able detectives on the case. When the brother left headuarters, he said he had simply called to see Joseph Pulitzer and that he had no connection with the case. Captain Titus said that the murdered woman's husband was in the hands of two detectives and that they would go over the ground thoroughly today. The captain said he believed that Pulitzer's story wa3 the truth. Captain Titus was asked what, if any. clues he had. He replied that the most Important clue he had at present was the fact that a man called at the house where the Pulitzers lived on Tuesday. He said that detectives were now at work on that on The theory of Chief of Police Murphy of Jersey Uity is tnat tne jtoman was aiuea in New York and that the body was brought across the river on a ferry boat and taken -to Jersey City where ft was fnunil in a vflron. The chief thinks that some one who admired the woman killed her in a fit of Jealousy. He does not be lieve robbery was tne motive. The Wi.nound weirht which was attach ed to the strap that was fastened about the dead woman s waist was laentinea to day as the property of Charles Evans, whr, Vasm a stable in Hoboken. Mr. Evans says that early Wednesday evening a man entered the stable and said he wanted a rig that was cable of carrying a large valise. A hitching strap and weight which he asked for were given to him! He did not return the rig until eight o clock the next morning. STANLEY NOT READY. Will Wait Before Ho Disposes of Atchison Judgeship.. Governor Stanley will not decide what he will do in the Atchison county judge ship case until he hears from some ef the candidates on the Atcfflson county ticket "Each side contends that If I don't do as they say it will make trouble for the county ticket In the coming elec tion," said Governor Stanley after his last conference yesterday afternoon. "But neither side brought along a single candidate on the county ticket to tell what they thought about it. Thev are the ones who are most inter ested In this election, and I think their judgment would be pretty correct as to whether it would be better to appoint a judge or elect one this fall. I am go ing to wait until I hear from the county candidates- before deciding what I will do." Judge H. M. Jackson, who is one of the candidates for the vacancy when Judge Bland's resignation becomes effective, says that the Atchison county Republican central committee was put up in opposition to his interests, and he therefore is not willing to abide by the recommendations of the committee with reference to the judgeship. He wants an election held this fan, and Is -willing to leave his candidacy to the voters of the county. "I Know the committee was fixed -with special reference to being against my political interests," said Judge Jackson, "because It was increased by ten mem bers at large from over the county. Be fore these ten members were named the other crowd told a friend of mine ne could be-on the committee if he -would be against me. He refused to oppose my interests, and be was left off the committee." Judge Jackson urged Governor Stan ley to accept the resignation of Judge Bland on October 1 so that the vacancy may be filled by. election at the coming election. He argued that this would be more satisfactory to the people of the county than to have an appointee named ror two years from ettner fac tion: He said he had opposed .the Chisham and Curtis crowds in the re cent contests in Atchison county, but the other fellows had won and are in control. Governor Stanley then announced that he would take no action till he bears from the candidates on the Republican county ticket in Atchison county, and he will be guided largely by their in terests. The Chisham crowd wants him to hold up accepting Bland's resignation until -too late for an election to be held this year, and then to appoint B. F. Hudson to flll the vacancy until 1904. ATTACKED CY HOC. Non-Union Men Are Driven from a Colliery at Pittston. Pittston, Pa., Sept. 19. A mob today attacked the colliery owned by W. H. Holmes. located in the heart of Pitts ton.. After driving the non-union men from the mine, the mob set fire to the breaker, which was saved from de struction through the efforts of a num ber of men employed in the vicinity. The colliery resumed operations la-t week for the purpose of furnishing coal to tbe local trade. Several non-unionists were intercept ed today on their way to No. 10 colliery, wnicn resumed operations yesterday. OBJECTED TO HANGING. Murderer Puts Up Fight When Hour of Execution Arrives. New York, Sept. 19. Peter Hernia was hanged in the county jail at Hack ensack, N. J., today for the murder of Barney Kanter, a butcher. Before his execution was accomplished, Hernia made a desperate fight When two deputy sheriffs approached him to strap his arms, he suddenly tore off two brass brackets on the side of his cell, and getting into the corridor leaped over a partition.. He then tore off a piece of lead piDe and crouching in a corner, shouted that he would brain any one that came naar blm. By this time tbe jail was in an uproar.- The sheriff and his deputies were at first puzzled as to how to deal with the murderer and disarm him. Xt was finally decided to turn a hose on him. This warn done and as Hernia put up his. hands to ward off the water from, striking, him in the face a deputy sheriff leaped over and grabbed the hand of the murderer in which was the lead pipe.' Other depu ties .quickly rushed in. Hernia was fin ally, overpowered and securely strapped. He was then placed In a chair and car ried to the gallows, his clothing drip ping wet. rie was lifted from the chair and the noose quickly adjusted about his neck. 1 The sheriff asked him If he had anything to say. He replied In a weak voice: "Good bye all. Excuse me." The drop was then sprung and Hernia died of strangulation.' The condemned man during the night asked frequently ror wnisky ana wnen refused smashed a chair in his cell- and two priests who were with him had difficulty in quieting him.

Reinforcements have come to the aid of Mayor Parker in his encounter with the prohibition forces of the city. At the' meeting of the Democrat Flambeau club held Thursday night, the following indorsement were unanimously adopted: Albert Parker, Mayor of the City of TooeJca. Sir; Our attention has been called to the charges made against you by a few professional prohibition agitators, two or three preachers who have a strong craving for notoriety, and two or tbree disappointed office seekers. In this gal lery of malcontents, we recognize some familiar faces. They are the same par ties, who. by every trick, fraud and ar tiflce known to the lawless element. tried to defeat you at the polls. Hav ing failed in this they banded together and prevailed upon the city council to issue a fraudulent certificate of election to the defeated candidate, and the city government was turned over to their candidate and all the minor offices fill ed. After fraudulently occupying these offices about a year the supreme court compelled them to restore, them to you. Having failed to carry the election, having failed to steal the office, they now try to ruin your administration by besmirching you by foul and. reckless slander, and interpose every obstacle to embarrass you in the performance of your official duties. -We desire to extend to you our con gratulations for having fought bravely and manfully this band of po litical bandits, and say to you that we recognize your administration as the very best one this city has ever had. The business men of this city and the people who have respect for property rights, and the men who respect courts of justice ana law ana oraer, believe in you and are with you in your good work. This sentiment was expressed by unanimous vote of this club on the night of September 18, 1902. MICHAEL. HEERY, President. M.MEIER, Secretary. Baltimore Gets Odd Fellows. Des Moines, la.. Sept 19.

2 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL FBIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 19, 1S03. SP0RTjNG!iEl7S. Some Splendid Shooting at the Missouri State Tourney. Crosby's Work Was of a Most Sensational Order. KILLED 25 STRAIGHT. Said to Be First Time In His tory at 33 Yard Liue. J. J. Gorman, of Topeka, Hold ing: His Own With the Crowd. Kansas City, Sept 19. Thursday was the banner day of the twenty-fifth an nual tournament of the Missouri State Came and Fish Protective association at Blue River park. In addition to the continuation of the state and interstate championship contests, the event for the Hazard cup trophy was on the pro-, gram and this was the real feature of the day and the tournament. There was some spirited competition in this race and not only were many good ecores made, but a world's record was established at live bird shooting. W. R. Crosby, one of the straight score men, made the phenomenal run of twenty-five without a miss, from the thirty-three-yard line. Old shooters united in declaring that this was the first performance of the kind ever re corded. Crosby, KUiott, Gilbert and others have killed twenty-four birds at that distance, but it is said nobody had ever killed out straight from this mark. In the Hazard eyent there were forty five entries and the .handicaps were twenty-eight to thirty-three yards. The shooting was in squads of five and it moved along at a lively pace. Besides Crosby there were six other shooters who shot out straight scores. The hour was so late last night when the last squad had finished that it was impossi ble to shoot off for the trophy. It will be the first thing on the program when the tournament opens this morning. Seven men are eligible and they are W. R. Crosby of O'Fallon, 111.; C. J3, Cock rell of Kansas City, Harlow Spencer o St. Louis, W. S. Allen of Kansas City, J. J. Gorman of Topeka, J. W. Bratnhall of Kansas City and Henry Thiele of Junction City, Kan. The weather yesterday was ideal for shooting. It was a great transforma tion from the previous day and enjoy able to the participants lit the tourna ment and the spectators. There was a large crowd out. including not a few women. The birds were a fine lot of flyers. The most of them were fast out goers and there were very few setters. There were many sensational kills. J. A. R. Elliott, Kansas City's premier wing shot, was in. magnificent form, but he failed to get inside either first or second money. He drew a hard lot of birds and was one of the early ones to fail out of the race. He lost his sixth bird, which was a very fast towering pigeon that came out of the trap like a shot from a cannon. The bird was hit hard with both barrels, but KUiott was unable to score. Wolverines at Work. Ann "Arbor, Mica., Sept. 19. There is a. uumvu ti. iv iuoiohu men at Wbitmore Lake, the squad being In creased today by the following: Carl Jones, the human eatapult of last year's substitutes; "Ftorest, who showed endugh last year to be taken to the coast; Kid son, of the 1901 freshman team r Mad dock, an up state husky lad; Cole, an all round man from Marietta coV.ege: Jim Turner, of Lansing, who was on the class championship team. Tost is giving the men about two hours' work in running with the liall each morning and the same amount each evening. The line men and back field are being worked separately, but tomorrow there will be something In the way of formations with the whole team. Clingman Will Quit. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 19. Wm.

Rafts of Logs Stuck on Sand Bars at Leavenworth. GOVERNMENT AT WORK Have Serious Trouble Getting Barges Up the Big Muddy." Old River Men Say Dakota Irri gation la Responsible. Leavenworth, Sept. 19. The Times says: Where does all of the sand come from that is now clogging up the Mis souri river? The mighty Missouri, known throughout the United States as one of the most treacherous of streams, seems to be dwindling- to a duck pond and is slowly filling up with sand. Bars have formed from Leavenworth to St. Louis and the government is having serious trouble in transporting its supplies from the lower waters to places north of here. A sand bar has formed stretching from the bridge near Fort Leaven worth to below the Riverside mine and is within 100 feet of the Kansas shore. It greatly interferes with the business of Admiral resser and now, when he wishes to land a barge of sand at the levee at the foot of Delaware street he has to float it below the mine and then tow It back alon the shore at least a mile. The river now stands at 39.7 government gauge, and is expect to to fall to 37.7 before long. The bar is Just eighteen inches below the Bur. face of the water and Impedes naviga tion, of all kinds. During the early portion of this week a large raft consisting of 200 cotton wood piling to be used on the east levee at Kansas City came down the river from Montana in charge of three men. At the Terminal bridge the raft struck on the bar and had to be drawn off by the steamer Renzv which came from Kansas City, and dragged it down to that place Wednesday. North of St. Joseph, Mo., the govern ment is doing some work on the river and the steamer Kennedy went down stream two weeks ago to Gasconade, Mow, to get four eighty-five .'foot barges and a pile driver. The boat passed Jefferson City on Its up trip September 8 and was due to arrive here September 14, but has .not yet passed Kansas City, Me. The boat repeatedly encountered sand bars on its up trip where there were none when it went down and the shifting of the bars proves a serious menace to navigators of the stream. Some of the old river men say that near the headwaters of the river great KEMPER PAXTON, 200-310 East 6th St pell-mell and snatching spending a week in the coun- letter, Mrs. Perkins gave to her hostess, I must cut the Model. .Children's ribbed seamless, all wool black Hose our regular 25o BARGAIN BUIUTW

Bettes, a farmer Just south of Mapleton, was in the city yesterday with a handful of popcorn, which he represented was taken from a field of one-quarter of an acre which yielded 40 bushels. It was nice looking popcorn, the ears being quite large and well filled out. He says that the grains all pop, and in fact it was the best popcorn he ever saw. A neighbor of his has 70 acres of the same kind of popcorn, and he says that the entire field will yield an aver age of ISO bushels to the acre. As pop corn is worth $1 a bushel, this man has a gold mine on his farm, and will do well to abandorf all efforts to raise other farm products and devote his at tention to popcorn alone. Mr. Bettes stated also that he had 65 acres of field corn that is simply im mense. He shelled 132 ears the other day and had one bushel and three pecks of shelled corn. Owing to the fact that 120 ears are supposed to furnish a bushel of shelled corn, Mr. Bettes has an exceptionally fine field of corn. AT MANHATTAN SCHOOL.

RAILROAD UEWS. Orient Road Completes Plans for Wichita Shops. Ten Buildings to Be Erected Without Delay. STILWELL S HOME. Spending a Few Days in Kansas '.--.'..'V-'V Citj. Says He Has the Money to Build the Road. According: to the Wichita Eagle, the detailed plans for the proposed Orient shops at that city have been received, and work on the buildings will begin within a short time. The engine or round house is made up of twenty-five stalls and forms nearly a complete circle,. Within this will be the latest devices- for the care of locomo tives, while the usual turn-table ap proach is there. This great circular building with its many black smoke pipes lies farthest south in the group of structures between Seneca avenue and the innumerable switches that tra verse the country to the southwest. In this board of switches the plans show that there are twenty-six parallel tracks. The machine shop is the next principal structure, lying jUBt north of the engine house. It is 530 feet long and 125 feet feet broad. On the southwest corner of the machine shop connected with the latter by a door is a power house and just east of the power house apart from it. but connected with the machine shop, is the wheel shop. The boiler shop is in the eastern end of the machine shop, the electric in the middle and the black. smith shop at the western extremity. To the north of the machine shop building is a number of perpendicularly laid tracks that lead from a transfer table, an apparatus to enable the men to take an engine from the boiler room to the electrical shop by simply running it out on the transfer carriage, which is literally a fiat car, and taking it to another set or rails. Next to the north is the car shops, 110 bv 200 feet. There are also tracks running from this to the transfer table lying between it and the machine shop. On the east of the car shops is the paint shop, 80 by 160 feet. On the west end of the car shops is the wood mill, the dimensions of which are 100 by 300 feet. Just north of the wood mills apart and separate is a large lumber storage building. The office store is west of the car shoos. In the plans there are shown an em. bellishment to come later as affairs be come settled a pretty little park across Seneca avenue, a quarter of a mile from the shops, by which runs the street car line, connecting the shops with the heart of the citv. A E. Stilwell, the president of the Orient, who has just returned from Eu rope with a party of capitalists, says that the funds for the completion of his road have been secured. Mr. Stilwell is now in Kansas City, and will leave Saturday with his party on a special car for Mex ico. "Most satisfactory progress is being made in every direction," said Mr. Stil well. "The circle of Investors in this en terprise, botk in -this countrv and abroad, is rapidly enlarging. The' funds for the completion oi tne roaa are assured ana we expect, and will, finish and operate the system as soon as men and material can build It." The building of the system has prog. ressed rapidly in the laot few months. En gineers were in the field nineteen months ago. Large sections of roadbed have been graded and rail laying is under way in Kansas, Texas and Mexico. Thirty miles of the line from Harper, Kan., south and 155 miles in Mexico is in active operation. Some 5 million dollars has already been expended and it is believed that the entire line between Kansas City and Port Stil well, the terminus, will De m operation within throe vpats. The terminal facilities planned for Kansas City will Involve an expenditure or 2 muuon aouars. THE BOCK ISLAND PLAN. Iowa Governor Says It Is a Scheme to Water Stock. Des Moines, la., Sept. 19. Attorney General C. W. Mullan. in an opinion filed with Governor Cummins, holds that the acts of the new Iowa corpora tion, the Chicago, Rock Island Pa cific Railroad company, in connection with the Rock Island reorganization, are not outside the powers conferred by statute nor contrary to public policy in the legal sense of the term. Governor Cummins, in making public the opinion, concurs in it from a legal view Doint, but adds, referring to the reorganiza tion: "The thing done is neither a merger nor a consolidation. Not a mile of track nor a dollar in value is added to the Rock Island property. It is simplv a new device for watering securities. It is for the next general assembly to say whether it is wise to permit our laws to so remain that such things are possible. "The most serious problem involved," says the attorney general. In his opin ion, "is whether the state may inter fere to prevent the issuance of the stocks and bonds of the Iowa and New Jersey companies, for the reason that tne aggregate amount thereof proposed to be issued exceeds the market value of the stock of the Chicago, Rock Is land Pacific Railway company, which tne lowa company receives therefor, or whether it may by quo warranto have a forfeiture of the charter of the Towa company declared, on the Kround that such an act is ultra vires and against COME OTJK WAY. Immigration; Parties Likely Will Be Turned from Northwest. 'The colonization meeting in St. Louis Friday will be a success." said Chair man Pratt of the Southwestern Passen-. ger bureau yesterday. "The railroads are determined to turn the tide of im migrant travel from Europe into the southwest, and rates and other induce ments will soon convince the people of tne central states that the southwest is a better country for them than the northwest," A meeting will be held at the south western offices this morning to discuss winter tourist rates to the southwest. At the meeting today or tomorrow the reorganization of the Southwestern Pas senger bureau may 'be taken up. If it is not, Chairman Pratt will call a meet ing in October. probably October 7, when the bureau will be reorganized. BRINGS THEM HOME. Illinois Central Well Pleased by the Per Diem System. The effectiveness of per diem is well indicated by a discussion of the car sit uation by J. M. Daly, superintendent of transportation of the Illinois Central. In his discussion Mr. Talv says: "The IllinoiB Central is by E-.OOO cars better facilitated to handle freight traffic now than 12 months ago. .In the last vr 3,000 new freight cars bave been built for the system. There are now over 2,000 cars more owned- bv the system' on its line than there were in May and June of this year." These cars have been brought home on account of the inaug uration of the per diem system of car accounting in Julv;" SAUNA GETS THE BUSINESS. Kansas City Making Hard Fight on Grain Rate. Salina, Kan., Sept. 19. The Kansas City grain men are making a hard fight on the new 15-cent grain rate from Salina to the gulf, which has just gone into effect over the Rock Island road. The Kansas City- transportation bureau has taken the matter up, and it is more than probable that the bureau will succeed in having the rate canceled. The new- rate takes away from Kansas City almost all of the grain shipments for the gulf from along the Union Pacific system in central Kansas and the Rock Island is receiving the cars at Salina and Manhattan and can-vine th. wheat to Galveston for 15 cents per 100 punas. ne roaas are aomg a neavy business while the rate is in effect, which may De lor only a few days to come.

He is now an electrical engineer holding an ex cellent position with a firm there, having been away from here about four years. His father is A. A. Hope, for years a car penter in the water service department. Thomas Coughlln, the machinist in Mitchell's gang who took a furlough of 30 days recently, left on No. 1 of Thursday for San Francisco, Cala. He will stop on the way at Los Angeles and will go across to Catallna Island for an extended hunt and fish, having Tigged up a camp ing outfit before leaving home. At Albu querque, N. M., he and nis wife will meet his brother, James, who is a traveling auditor for the Southern Pacific and who will accompany him on the excursion. Since the return of Dave Ammel, a boll ermaker, from a northern trip, there has following him into town this story: While away he took a trip out on Lake Michi gan, and like many another land-lubber when he got far out to sea that deep down sick .got hold of him and elevated his toenails, boots, hose and last think of it a fish. Ammel was ready to go into dry dock after this voyage, but was so badly disabled that he could not get there by his own efforts and had to be towed in by another boat. Pat Breen, Fifth street flagman for the Santa Fe at Atchison, was hit by the St. Joseph passenger engine Wednesday even ing and fortunately escaped with only a small gash on the right side of his scalp. The good fortune resulted only because Engineer Webb was slowing up for the Missouri Pacific crossing. Although struck squarely bv the engine, when Engineer Webb and Fireman Shannon assisted him off the track he assured them he was "all rifht" and gripped tightly between' his teeth was the stem of his pipe, the bowl having- been knocked oil by- the engine. Thursday morning Breen was down at the union depot to thank Webb and Shan non for saving his life. The accident was caused by a cloud of smoke from a Mis souri Pacific engine nearby, which was being used In transporting the crowds to 1 the Kingiing circus grounds, ouauuring uie approaching Santa Fe train, and Breen started across the track 5ust In time to be struck. Breen was in the Santa Fe hos pital for several weeks this summer. SPECIAL TO ATCHISON. Santa Fe Will Haul Topekans to Corn Carnival.

The rates apply as far west as Cedar Point, and as far south as Chanute.-- There will likely be the usual large delegation from Topeka to the Atchison festivities.. There is one story about the Atchison, carnival which has been told before, but which is so good that It bobs up every year about this time. v. It is said that a certain Topeka man.1 with sporting blood in his system, went to Atchison to take in the carnival. He' found things so much ,to his liking that when the last train left for Topeka he decided to stay in. the corn town over: night. He wired to his wife in To peka: "Misse the train. Will be home in. the. morning." His wife, knowing his proclivities as a high roller, immediately wired back; "Do not forget that you have a wife and children." When this message reached the To peka man. he was whoopra? it up and laying on the scarlet pigment with a lavish hand. He managed, however,' to send this consoling telegram back to his wife: "Tour message came too late." Pensions For Xansans. Washington, Sept.' 19.

LEASED VTULS REPORT of ths ASSQciAtan raE33, The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternooa publica tion in Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur-, pose, busy through the entire day. A complete copy of ths night report la also received. The trip on which the president start today will take him through 17 states. St. Louis Is getting some good adver tising out of her boodle prosecutions, but It Is expensive. Citizens of Topeka should not grumble when called upon to meet the demand for additional school facilities. Nearly every city in the country la In the same fix. Washington Post: A minister of the gospel can undo all the good he has ever done by going Into politics. There is nothing so disillusionizing as a polit ical parson. The cable' which Is 'to connect the United States with Hawaii la on board ship, and the managers of the enter prise promise that by New Teara we shall be connected with Honolulu by wire. By July next It la expected that the line will be completed to the Philip pines. During the first ten days of Septem ber the receipts from customs ran $3, 600,000 above the receipts of the corre sponding period last year, and should the receipts continue in the same rela tive proportion during the entire month, the excess of receipts over those of last year would amount to JIO.000,000. The Increase of revenue from customs for the first eleven weeks of the fiscal year was $12,000,000, or more than a million dollars a week. This makes it certain that there will be no deficit this year as a result of the reduction in internal revenue taxes, and in fact assures a surplus unless there should be extraord inary and unexpected expenditures. Kvidently., there Is room tor-a .further reduction of taxes. WOMAN'S WORK. Returns from the last census present some interesting- figures on the work which is being done by women. They show that in the census year there were 1,000,000 females engaged in agricultural pursuits, 600,000 in professional service, about 2,000.000 in domestic service and 1.315,800 in manufacturing and mechani cal pursuits. The female farmers in clude laborers, farmers, overseers, gardeners, florists, fruit growers, milk farmers, stockraisers. herders, turpen tine farmers, wood choppers, lumber men and raftsmen. The female turpen tine farmers number 281 and the wood choppers 133. Of the women in professional life, 6, 418 are on the stage. 1,042 are archi tects, 11,027 are teachers. 3,405 clergy men, 787 dentists, 2,193 newspaper writ ers, i,000 lawyers, 8,126 government offi cials, 7,399 doctors, 14 veterinary sur geons and a vast army of teachers of all sorts. There are 5,582 female barbers, 440 bartenders, 18 longshoremen, 885 boot blacks and 1,820 hunters. trappers, guides and scouts. In trade and trans portation there is a host of women, and merchants and clerks, besides 946 com mercial travelers. 190 livery stable keepers and C24 coal miners. There were in the census year 19 women black smiths and no fewer than 39,516 boot and shoemakers and repairers. GROWTHOF SUGArTiNDTTSTBY. The people of the United States now consume eight times as muh sugar per capita as they did in the first quar ter of the last century, four times as much as the average per capita during the decade ending with 1850, and twice as much as they did in any year prior to 1870. In the years immediately prior to 1825 the average consumption of sugar was about eight pounds per capita. In the decade 1840-50 about sixteen pounds per capita, in the years immediately prior to 1&70 the average was about, thirty two pounds per capita, omitMag the war years. In which the consumption was light; from 1870 to 1880 it averaged about forty pounds per capita; from 1880 to 1890, fifty pounds per capita, and has ranged from sixty-two to sixty eight pounds per capita since that time, the figure for 1901 being 68.4 pounds. This steady growth In the per capita consumption of sugar is shown by some figures which the bureau of statistics will present in the next issue of Its an nual volume, the Statistical Abstract. This growth in the consumption of sugar is, evidently, not confined to the people of the United States. The in crease seems to have been equally rapid in other parts of the world, judg ing from the figures of total production. Figures 'recently published by ths bu reau of statistics In Its monograph, "The World's Sugar Production and Consumption," showed that the sugar production of the world was eight times as great in 1900 as in 1840, the figure for 1840 being 1.156,000 tons, and that for 1M0, s,80,000 tons. This Increase in production,- and consequently in con sumption, has come largely through the development of the beet sugar indus try, which incresed from a production of 50,000 tons in 1840 to 200,000 tons in 1850, 831,000 tons in 1870, 1,402,000 tons in 1880, 3,633,000 tons in 1890, and 5,950, 000 tons in 1900. During the same time cane sugar production Increased from 1,100,000 tons In 1840 to 2,850,000 tons In 1900. Beets In 1840 supplied 4.35 per cent of the total sugar product of the world; in 1850 they supplied 14.29 per cent; in I860, 20.43 per cent; In 1870, 34.40 per cent; In 1890, 63.70 per cent, and la 1906, 67.71 per cent. The per capita consumption of sugar In the United States is greater than that of any other country except the United Kingdom, in which-the annual consumption ranges from 85 te 91 pounds per capita, against 60 to 68 pounds in the United States, the figure of consumption for 100 in the United Kingdom being 1.6 pounds per capita. JAYHAWKIR JOTS. Steel range peddlers are bothering Logan county farmers. An Oakley cabbage head weighed IS pounds witn its ragian strippea on.

Two Ford county young- ladies of Ions dress vintage took: their first ride on the train this week. Bucklin complains that the merry-go-round paid no license, but carried away a wagon load of nickels. According to the World a popular "way of securing house plants in Lawrence is to steal them from a neighbor.

Visiting crap shooters are given "I hours to get through the game and out of town by the Burr Oak officials. "Anyway If the frost did injure my fodder it killed the mosquitoes," consol ingly remarks a Reno county farmer. Hutchinson is a good town for old maids to head towards. Two Salvation army girls have been married from there quite recently. Weary of "Over the Waves" and "My Bonnie Jean," a Coffey county man of fers to trade his piano for a young- colt, that he can keep in the barn. Two little girls of 8 and 11 years were driven from their home by a Pittsburg mother. It hardly seems possible that children could commit any offense that would so harden a mother's heart. Two brothers met in Emporia who had not seen each other for 28 vears. They had hardly ceased shaking hands wnen two more brothers of 14 years separation rushed into each others' arms. Weighing TV4 pounds and 25 Inches around a Parsons man bore his burden into the kitchen, warning his wife that no more sweet potatoes would be bought this month.

GLOBE SIGHT tFrom the Atchison Globe. 1 -All the people ought to work, or all of them ought to loaf. There Is no disputing that rain on circus day Is uncomfortable. When a woman la said to be pretty, her dressmaker takes two-thirds of the credit. CWntry bands are becoming scarcer every year, and good professional bands more numerous. Hurrah. When a man uses bad erammar in stating well known truths what he says is called "homely philosophy." We have observed that the more trou ble a man makes at the counter, the more likely he is to leave the door open. It seems to be generally conceded that a mother has no more right to show temper than a girl dry goods clerk. When a widow walks three blocks with an unmarried man, her daughters regard it as an excuse for all their fool ishness. There is a general opinion that if a man who writes poetry has money, it would be an easy matter to borrow from him. When we are busy, it makes us mad to be called oft to one side to hear a man storv. We don't like them very well, anyway. A man hates the sound of the tele phone bell at his office, but after he gets home, he would rather hear it than the door bell. Another Atchison man is gradually steaming up readv to run away, and his friends who can't control him, are trying to secure a clear track. The trouble with turning over a whole room to a man for his den, is that he still has to have some one "pick up af ter him" over the whole house. When you are expressing an opinion it is unpleasant to have some one around who remembers what you have said on the subject at some other time. People are always afraid that a cir cus will "divide." and tbat they will only see halt of it. It Is not probable that a circus ever divided, although cir cus managers are always accused of It.

SMASHES AUTO RECORDS. "Bullet" Machine Travels Ten Miles la 10 Minutes and 60 Seconds. Cleveland, Sept. 19. Alec Winton of Cleveland, with his famous "bullet" that placed the mile record on the circular track at Grosse Point last year at 1 minute 6 2-6 seconds, broke all records at the first annual meet of the Cleve land Automobile club at the Qlenville track.

The "bullet" did not get thoroughly warmed up the first mile which was made in 1 minute 20 seconds; but after that rec ords were smashed left and right, and the time for the ten mile was 10 min utes 50 seconds, the last five miles be ing made In 5 minutes 19 seconds. Twice during the ten mile race he made miles in 1 minute 2 seconds, and Just before completing the tenth mile lapped the Mercedes. In the pursuit race a few minutes la ter, Winton established the record of 1 minute 2 seconds on the second mile. There was an Immense crowd present at the races, the paid attendance exceed ing 10.000. There were ten events, and the meet was considered the most suc cessful ever held in America. The track was lightning fast. Clevelanders car ried off the majority of the prizes, Percy Owen of New York, being the only out sider to win one of the rich silver troph ies. CORELLI HOTEL VICTIM. English Clergyman's Son Commits Suicide as Described in tba Book. London, Sept. 19. The body of the 19-year-old son of a clera-vman named Oosse, 'at Wincanton, Somersetshire, aressea in nis lather's cassock, on which hung a wooden cross, was found hanging in his bedroom today.

Indeed, the ap proaching elections promise to be of ex ceptional Importance, first because of the universal depression, next on account of the keen struggle now In progress be tween the various political parties and Anally on account of the new attitude lately assumed by the crown toward the constitution. THE HABIT OP BATHING. tFrom the Tacoma Ledger. Americans are much given to the habit of bathing and the general opinion is that it is good for them. They are bound to have a bath at stated times or demand the reason why. This is true even of the American soldier, who might be supposed to get careless about it, but he will bathe if there is water to be had and protest loudly at its absence. Many of the for eigners of the lower classes who come to this country develop into good citizen ship, and one of the earliest symptoms of their change for the better is their ac quired liking for towels and soap. It is notorious that some of the Russian emi grants and others from countries border ing on Russia territory do not at first comprehend the necessity or the y of bathing. The child of such a familr Was sent home from school to be washed and the mother explained that this could not be done as the youngster "had been sewed up for the winter." Nothing of this sort Would be possible In an American family or one that had been in this well-washed region long. INDIA'S POTERTY. From the London Chronicle.

This is an exposition at length of the various items in the budget which has already appeared In our columns. From this official document It appears that out of a total estimated revenue for MOS-'OS of 74,370,460 no less than 17.879,500 has to be remitted td'tEngland for "home charges." That Is; nearly a quarter of India's, revenue every year leaves its shores. It Is true that 69, 624,000 of this comes under the head ot interest and management of debt, and payment of Interest and annuities on account of railways. But even so, 11 is a huge sum to leave the country. Again, Lord George Hamilton states in his final paragraph that the taxation per head of the population, including land revenue, comes to an average of 3s. 34d. Now Lord Curzon has recent, ly estimated the average income of the Indian agriculturist at 24s. a year. Thus the Indian peasant has to pay about one-seventh of his income in taxation. This also is a high proportion. MASON-DIXON STONES. TFrom the Philadelphia Times. A number of the missing; boundary stones of the Mason and Dixon lino which have been lost for a number of years have been located near Elklon. Md., and representatives of the United States coast survey have taken legal steps to recover some of the missing and historic stones. Three of the stones are in a church and one in the cellar of an old store. The one in the latter place was put there more than thirty years ago. The Mason and Dixon's line runs from the Delaware boundary line of Mary land to the corner wbere Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania join. It is about 200 miles in length, and was run between the years of 1762 and 1768 by the two Knglish engineerh. Mason and Dixon.

According to the municipal magazines many cities which object to being "rob bed" by the aspbalt trust, are repairing their aspbalt streets with concrete, and expect, as soon as the asphalt is wrn out, to replace It with some other kind of pavement.

There is a howl going up from the women of the city because the Pain management does not suppress smoking inside the enclosure.

COMING DRAMATIC ETENTS. Some idea of the magnitude of George Ade's successful musical satire. "The Sultan of Sulu," may be gathered when it is known that-Henry W. Savage ex pended $25,000 before the curtain was rung up on the first Chicago perform ance last spring. Mr. Savage staked his money on what he declared was a great American musical satire, and he determined to give the piece a produc tion in keeping with his idea of its worth. The company has been im proved, a number of new songs have been added to the tuneful score and several thousand dollars additional ex pended for new costumes. There are still good seats to be had at Flad's drug store for the performance of "The Sul tan of Sulu" at the Grand opera house next Monday night, for which the prices have been put at 60 cents to U.50, with box seats at S2. J. E. Jackson, who plays the part of Squire Blower In "Sandy Bottom," which comes to the New Crawford the ater tomorrow afternoon and night, is an artist with the same quaint methods of Sol Smith Russell, and during the present season gained high praise, largely through his natural magnetism, facial expressions, quaintness of man ner and dry sense of humor. In this famous play he has achieved complete success. The matinee prices will be 15 VALUE OF TESTIMONY Qresfer Than Assertion. There is none of us so hardened but that when we have been able to aid our fellow creatures by conferring a benefit or bringing a little comfort into their lives we like to have appreciation shown. This generally affords more pleasure than the performance of the act itself, and in this connection the fol lowing letter from a Paris, Texas, lady is of more than usual interest: "Deal Friends:. I address you as such, for you have been such to me. I suffered for three years off and on with piles. I was treated at the hospital, and the new and elegant hospital, of Memphis; they only gave me temporary relief. I came west, thinking the change of air and water would benefit me; five months ago the bleeding piles came back on me, and bled so much that I thought I would die. I have had four of the finest doctors in this section of Texas; all they did was to finally nearly let me go to my grave; all they wanted was a big sum of money from me and to op erate on me. I said no. no surgeon's knife would enter me; if it was my time to die God knew it, and when I died I would die all together. I began hearing about your medicine. I had no faith in you, but I sent and' got a box of, your Pyramid Pile Cure; in two days the blood flow had slackened to one-half the amount, and in one week I felt so much better I walked four blocks and did a little housework. I was not bleeding then; in three weeks I was well. God bless you for putting such a wonderful medicine within the reach of suffering men and women. I shall never cease to recommend your medicine or be with out it; also I used your Pyramid Pills. Sallie A. Hearndon." Testimony like this should be more convincing than all claims and assertions, and should leave no doubt in the mind of the reader as to the merit of the remedy. Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists for fifty cents a package, or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price. Write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., for their book on cause and cure of piles. and 25 cents, with 25, 36, 50 and 75 cents at night.

When the marriage was disclosed in the newspa pers an officer saw it and Lammert was arrested by a detail of soldiers while he was at breakfsst with his bride at her father's house. Mrs. Lammert wrote to President Roosevelt several times and final the president granted a pardon. Excites Little Interest. New York. Sept. 19. The conference of steamship managers in New York Is not exciting deep Interest in commercial circles here, cables the London corres pondent of the Tribune. No definite ar rangements have been made and no of ficial announcements are likely until the Morgan combination has been form ed and worked out in detail, "but Liver pool Is convinced that the Cunard Una will receive a materially Increased sub sidy and be enabled to build a fast substitute for the Umbria and to com pete in speed with the best German ships, and also that the Canadian gov ernment will obtain suitable tenders for fase service both across the Atlantic and the Pacific.

New York, Sept. 19. Collector Strana han today will Issue a statement in the nature of an arveal to the traveling public to aid the treasury department and the local customs administration in enforcing the Dingley law on the piers with greater profit to the revenue and less to the customs inspectors.

George Fraenkel, president of the wholesale tobacconists, has astonished the tobacco world by the announcement that there is every likeli hood of an amalBanxtion between the Britlii and American tobacco trust, says a Tribune dispatch from London. This statement laks official confirmation, how ever, and It has. on the whole, been re ceived with incredulity. MAY EMPTY JAILS. Important and Far Reaching Decision of a New York Judge. New York. Sept. 19. Should the view of Judge Wilmot M. Smith be upheld, it Is estimated that two thousand per sons serving sentences In the four coun ty Jails of Greater NewYork may be released. Judge Smith, sitting In special term of the supreme court, in Long Island City, has rendered this opinion in a de cision on a writ of habeas corpus ob tained for two young men who were arrested a month ago on the charge of disorderly conduct. They were sentenced to six months each in the King's county jail. Judge Smith, after listening to the arguments in the case, ordered the immediate release of the two men, and in ten minutes they were free. It was held by Judge Smith that no magistrate in the city of New York had the right to do anything more than to hold an alleged offender for a higher court or for the grand jury. He said not only that there was no such thing as disorderly conduct, but that all a police magistrate could do when a pris oner was accused of intoxication was to hold him while his case was being investigated by the commissioner of charities. The matter probably will be submitted to the appellate court for a ruling. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. F. S. Brown and wife to S. Gerdom, tSBO, lot 338, Kansas avenue. James Gillett and wife to J.

Henry Kennel It. said to have been formerly a hotel keeper of San Francisco and Chicago, traveling for his health with his wife, is dead in this city from heart failure. A FOOD CURE FOR CONSTIPATION. Constipation is aft almost universal dis ease among civilized nations, due to con centrated and imperfectly cooked food. Mushes, milk, fine flour, bread and condi ments, added to sedentary habits, result in constipation, hemorrhoids, piles and other diseases of the rectum, requiring surgical operation. Intestinal catarrh, headache, bilious attacks, nervous exhaus tion, insomnia, sleenlessnesa. aato-intoxi- cation and paralysis. The remedy is the aany use or joastea wneat. b iases, sweet ened with Malt Honey. Each flake repre sents an entire wheat kernel, leas the woodv- fibre, and contains all the life build ing gluten of the wheat. The raw starcn found in wheat and cracked wheat mushes is dextrinized by thorough cooking and toasting, making Toasted Wheat Flakes at once digestible and curing constipation and its attendant ills. It is unfailing In its work. FOR ANOTHER YEAR. Import Traffic Agreement Will Be in Effect. New York. Sept 19. At a meeting of the import committee of the trunk line railroads just held in this city, the agreement governing Import traffic at the various Atlantic ports., which has been in effect during the past year, was reaffirmed, practically without change- Frank Harriott, chairman of the committee, was reappointed for the ensuing year. Representatives of the trunk lines present expressed them selves as highly pleased with the prac tical operation of the compact during its first year's trial and present Indica tions point to a greater measure of suc cess during the coming year. Members of the committee say they have reason to believe that the agreement is now about as perfect as it can be made, and that import rates will be even better and more uniformly observed hereafter than was possible during the past year. How materially the import rate situ ation has been improved as a result of the committee's work was shown, it was stated, by the fact that where a year or so ago the established rates were being cut from 25 to 30 per cent, the regular tariffs axe now being ob served. The agreement under which the com mittee operates takes in all of the roads running to Atlantic ports, with latter lines, while not actually parties latetr lines, while not actually parties to the compact, agree to maintain Im port rates so long as the other lines ob serve the agreement. Favors Vacation School System New York, Sept. 19. In an editorial article today the Times warmly advo cates the development of the vacation school system in the United Kingdom upon the lines already successfully fol lowed in New York, Chicago and else where in America, cables the London correspondent of the New York Times.

Identity Is Known This Fraternal Night. Ia Considerable speculation has been in dulged in as to the identity of the per son whose picture was shown in fire at the exhibition of the "Last Days of Pompeii" Wednesday night. The picture was supposed to have been that of the most beautiful woman In Topeka. Such was not the case, however. When the time for the selec tion of a name of the person whose pic ture should be shown, there were three names placed in competition. The mem bers of the committee argued and wrangled over the selection for a lone time. Each person whose name was placed in the contest had friends in the committee who wanted that person se lected. Finally after it was determined that there could be no selection in that manner it was decided to show the pic ture of Mile. Zelie de Lussan. whose reputation as a singer Is well known. One reason for this selection was In One of the Acrobat. the fact that Mile, de Lussan is to ap pear at the Auditorium in Topeka in December. The picture was shown and all those who were at the Wednesday evening's performance of the "Last Days of Pompeii" and who go to the concert will recognize the singer from the picture. Tonight Is fraternity night at the Pompeii show. The warm weather will permit even a larger crowd to attend than was present last night. The at tendance was greater last night than on any previous night, the number of paid admissions amounting to nearly 3O0O. The chilly weather of the early part of the week has kept many at home who will now turn out. Big crowds are ex pected tonight and tomorrow night. The fireworks display last night was also better than on the Dreceding nights.

Trouble arose last night between a crowd of rowdies outside the east wall of the show grounds and the employes of the show. Watchmen discovered that b-jles were being cut in the canvas wait by the ruffians and a call brought all the watchmen and employes of the Bhow to the spot. Although half a dozen policemen Bat on the front row of the reserved seats, none could be Induced to go and help quell the disturbance. Ths row was finally disposed of by the ap pearance of reinforcements and the deputy sheriffs. If the work of lasx night is attempted again tonight, the management threatens to prosecute the leaders to the extent of the law.

Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn, who was with Lieut. Peary on one of his Arctic trips and with the Belgica expedition to the bouth Pole as chief surgeon, expresses the opinion that Peary's latest endeavor was by no means a failure and that the explorer has added "material to the an nals of science which will be found In valuable, in fact more valuable than the actual discovery of the pole itself." All this talk about the terrible dan gers to be met before reaching the pole is sneer rot. continued Dr. Cook. "A man, all things taken into account, is just as safe on the Arctic ice fields as he is in New York. There are no fever germs there, no contagious diseases, no miasmatic swamps, no sewer gas, no decaying vegetables,.' no rotting rags. Everything is on ice. There is no dan ger in traversing the ice fields, nor from the cold, which is not so severe as the cut of the saline blasts on the At lantic coasts." It is the food question, he added, that is the cul de sac that closes ud the wav to the pole. When this Droblem is N uj ni 'siod oni- joi Sumcuuas paAios opinion, be quite' n easy matter. TODAI'S MARKET REPORT, Chicago, Sept. 19. WHEAT Grains to day met with fair support in the opening hour and in spite of several bearish influ ences which brought initial breaks all around, rallied well. Cables were lower, the weather over most of the farming country was favorable and wheat receipts were liberal in the northwest. One partic ularly bearish feature in the wheat pit was the report of the American consul at Odessa stating that the Russian wheat crop was the largest in ten years. The crowd, however, was not inclined to sell muoh. Shorts covered to some extent and the fact that there were no Argentine shipments this week, whereas there were 104,000 bushels last week, and that the to tal of Argentine shipments since January 1 was 11,000.000 bushels under last year, helped in holding prices. Trade early was not brisk. December started c to a shade lower, at 68a68c. and regained last night's figures 68gSc. Local re ceipts were 207 cars. 1 car of contract grade; Minneapolis., and Duluth reported 882 cars, making a total for the three points of 1.0S9 cars, against 887 cars last week, and, 1,276 cars tor two days a year ago. Excellent strength developed about mid session on the northwestern situation. The northwestern markets were higher with a good cash demand and reported curtail ment of movement to those markets. Sharp covering in September options resulted, the near quotations rising from 72e at the opening to 74c and to a strong close, le up, at 73c. December closed firm and )c up, at 69c. CORN Absence of frost encouraged speculators in corn to press on the price somewhat at the opening. There was some stuff sold also on the lower cables. Argen tine shipments of corn were large, at 1.616, 000 bushels, and receipts were liberal, at 364 cars. 96 cars of contract grade. Some shorts covered, however, and a little sup port put good strength into this pit. De cember started unchanged to c lower, at 43&43c advanced to 43g43c, and steadied around 43c. Good western buying sent September corn from 58e to 59c The close was firm and c up, at 59c; December closed gio up. at 43ffi4-ic. OATS Oats were dull and easier early with a light trade. Receipts were small, at 156 cars, but the weather was favora ble and May. and December were offered fairly. December opened c off. at 30c, and sold btween 30 c and 30(fi30c. PROVISIONS Provisions had a small early trade and ruled very steady in spite of lower hog prices. Some 3mall support was present. January pork opened 2c lower to 2Uc higher, at J14.95'15.00; Jan uary lard 2ac lower, at $8.45. and regained the loss, and January ribs unchanged, at 27.87. and sold between $7.877.90.

STOCKS The tone of the opening- stock market was somewhat hesitating and Ir regular, many prominent stocks showing fractional declines, but a few leaders re flected a heavy demand at advancing prio-s There were 4,600 shares of St. Paul sold simultaneously at m191. compared with 190 last night Several blocks of a thousand shares and upward of Missouri Pacific carried the price up point. St. 233. im 1869. J l A VAN W VS. If IIIUBt jj ....oaO j' Plenty of time to see every one you know, as tickets are good to return ANY time within 30 days from date of sale. E. W. THOMPSON, a P. A. Lines West of Missouri River, KANSAS CITY, MO. Louis Southwestern preferred, on running sales of 3,000 shares, was quoted at 77i 78, compared with 77 last night. Rock Ibland rose a point. Illinois Central sub scription rights sold at 11. and the stock ex-rights sold at 160. National Lead wns also strong at a sharp fractional advance. Transcontinental stocks absorbed the greater part of the limited dealings and also showed trie most pronounced strength. Rock Island advanced 3 points, to 207, on cash transactions, and St. Paul rose 2 points, to 193, a record price. Missouri Pacific lost its opening rise on realizing, but later gained a point. There was not much of interest In the railroad list asid-j from these movements, but the general undertone was firm. North American, Lead and Western Union gained lVi'2 points. Minneapolis. St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie and Pittsburg. C. C. and St. Louis lost 2 points each and New Jersey Central a point. The coincident strength of St. Paul and Missouri Pacific revived talk of a tariff alliance between them. St. Paul improved steadily and touched 196. The preferred was also lifted nearly 3 points. The buoyancy of this stock caused an extension of the buying move ment in the general list, but very few of the usual leaders were benefited. Canadian Pacific was bought heavily and rose 1 points and Chesapeake and Ohio, Urilon Pacific, Northwestern and some of the minor stocks were 12 points better. The failure of the market to make any noteworthy response to St. Paul's move ment was due to distrust of the monetary situation. St. Paul reacted over a point before noon. Bonds were strong at noon. Eefore the upward movement spent Itself there were gains of a point or more to the Pennsylvania group except Norfolk and Western. The traders detected realizing and took their profits, causing a backset. St. Paul, Rock Island. St. Louis South western preferred and Northwestern react ed lUa points. The steadiness of ths money rate around 7 per cent aroused hopes of a favorable bank statement to morrow. Room shorts covered in St. Paul on ths down grade and their buying rallied ths stock gain to the highest. The United States Steel stocks were also pushed up rapidly to 42 and 92 respectively for the common and the preferred en a rumor that a judicial decision had been rendered in favor of the company in the suit to en join the bond Issue. Rubber goods ad vanced 2 points and the preferred 1 points. The general list was listless but steady, pending the publication of ths fore cast of the bank statement.

NORTH SIDE JOINT RAID Ex-Policeman M. Schmidt's Stock of Liquor Confiscated. Also Charged That Man Was Fleeced in the Joint. A big negro, supposed to be one of the two who held us and robbed Fred Weaver on the Missouri Pacific cross ing in South Topeka the first night of the state fair, was brought back from Herington last night by city court offi cers. He is the same negro who was turned out Monday evening on condi tion that he leave town. He was arrest ed on the preceding Friday night by Of ficers Parcell and Barrett, who found a revolver on him and took him in for carrying concealed weapons. He was later identified by ex-Deputy Warden W. Thompson, who said that the negro, whose right name was Raloh Hill, was a prisoner in the penltentiarsr for sev eral years, and was so bad that he was kept in solitary confinement most of the time. Thompson shot the negro one time when he became unrulv. and he swore that he would kill Thompson when he got out, "if it took him a hun dred years." Thompson said he sur mised that the nesrro. who has but re cently been discharged, was in Topeka for the purpose of making good his threat, and that he would be on his guard. Although Hill was held several days, he was not for some reason tried on the charge preferred against him. He had a gold watch when arrested, and it was given back to him when he was dis charged. The police had a description of the watch which had been taken from Weaver in the same desk with the one taken off Hill, but never thought to compare them. It was left to the city marshal of Herington to discover the man, the watch and the description, and return Hill to the officials who allowed him slip through their fingers. Weaver has positively identified the watch s his own. and may be able to identify the negro under suspicion. M. Schmidt and F. McCowan were ar rested in North Topeka yesterday by Deputy Sheriffs Williams and Stewart on the charge of selling liquor. J. Q. A. Peyton, of North Topeka. is the com plaining witness, and 24 other witnesses are named on the complaint. The com plaining witness has taken this method of getting even with the two Jointists, on the grounds that they or some one in their joint, robbed him of $100 while he was drunk.

He says he wanted to bet that amount that his candidate for sheriff would be elect ed, and that some one. he can't say who It was. took his bet. The money was put up. and he cannot remember who the stake holder was, or what he looked like. Schmidt, who resigned from the police force this summer to go into the joint business, says that Peyton is badly mistaken on the circumstance, because he never had $100 to bet. Schmidt and McCowan gave bond, and were released. The deputies confiscated the entire stock of wet goods. Enough witnesses are namd on the complaint to convict several jointists. Their names are: J.

The first bank failure in Kansas for considerably over a year happened .yes terday, and this one is only a small state bank in the extreme southwest ern part of the state. It is the Cimarron State bank, of which C. T. Vinson of Cimarron is president and principal stockholder, and A. S. Warner is cashier. It was capi talized at $5,000. An examination of the bank last June showed a state of af fairs that was not altogether satisfact ory to Bank Commissioner Albaugh, and he insisted on having the objec tionable features straightened up. The ofilcers agreed to do so if given a lit tle time, and the bank was not closed. Yesterday Deputy Bank Examiner Eu gene Davis went to Cimarron and, find ing that the corrections had not been made, took charge of the bank5; The deposits amounted to about $45,000, half of which belonged to Gray county. It is not yet known whether the bank's affairs can be straightened out so as to allow it to open again or not. .The last bank failure in the state prior to 'this was the Dexter bank, whcih was closed in May, 1901. It is doubtful if any state has ever made a record as good 8 that. L. N. Will Spend $1,000,000. Knoxvllle, Tenn., Sept. 19.

It Continues to Attract the Attention of British Press. London, Sept. 19. Secretary Hay's note to the powers which were signatories to the Berl'ta treaty of 1878 on the treatment of the Jews in Roumania, which was re ceived in London about a fortnight ago, was welcomed in British official circles. The tone of the formal acknowledgement of the receipt of the note here indicates British approval of American initiative in this matter and confirms the idea, that Great Britain welcomes the continued in tervention of tne United States in the af fairs in which Europe is more directly concerned in the belief that such inter vention tends to indireetly strengthen the hands of the British government Apart from this the question of exclusion of pauper aliens from Great Britain is grow ing more acute and anti-immigration laws are demanded in many influential quarters. So that the government Is in sympathy with Mr. Hay's protest in the hope that the wholesale export of undesirable emi grants from eastern Europe may be checked. The newspapers here continue to com ment on the United States note. The St. James Gazette, in a semi-humorous refer ence to it says: "The European governments to whom it was addressed, must have been agreeably surprised,, for the note furnished fresh evidence of the growing disposition of the United States to take a seat In the or chestra of the European concert, which some other performers view with uneasi- After declaring that it is difficult to understand what President Roosevelt hopes to gain by the appeal to the signa tories of the Berlin treaty, the St. James Gazette cimcludes that the chief Ameri can motive is humanity and says: "This indicates a spirit of knight er rnntrv which however creditable to a great civilized power, is likely to give the J Americans plenty or occupation wiuiuul increasing their popularity with the gov ernments of the old world." Mr. Hay's contrast of the enlightened system of America and the intolerant tyranny of the surviving principalities of Europe is referred to by the St. James Gazette as "not devoid of self-com-plaeeney." and as Intended j for the edifi cation of mankind. The paper refers to Mr. Hay as an American -Hamlet who says: "Look on this picture and then on that and consider whether old mother Eu rope should not be ashamed of herself." The St. James Gazette suggests that South. Africa would welcome the Rou manian Jews, "for. whom the American government is so solicitous and yet so un willing to welcome." c.f" Texas Fever in Miami County. Paola, Kas., Sept. 19.
