Stampede in a Negro Church at Birmingham, Ala., Causes Fearful Loss of Life Among the Occupants. THERE WAS A FIGHT. The Disturbance Was Mistaken for a Fire. Tiro Thousand Persons Tried to Leare Building ataOnce. PILED TEN FEET HIGH. Doorways Soon Blocked IV all of Humanity. by a Booker T. Washington Had Just Completed an Address. Birmingham, Ala., Sept 20. In an awful crush of humanity caused by a stampede in the Shiloh Negro Baptist church at Avenue a and Eighteenth street last night, between 65 and 70 per sons were killed and as many more seriously injured. The catastrophe oc curred at o'clock just as Booker T. Washington had concluded his address to the national convention of Baptists, and for three hours the scenes around the church were indescribable. Dead bodies were strewn in every direction, and the ambulance service of the city was utterly incapacitated to move them until after 1 o'clock. Dozens of dead bodies were arranged in rows on the ground outside of tbe house of worship awaiting removal to the various under taking establishments, while more than a score were laid out on the benches in side. The church is the largest one for negroes in -Birmingham, and the pastor says there were at least two thousand persons in the edifice when the stam pede began. Instructions had been is sued to allow no more to enter, but the negroes forced their way inside the building and were standing in every aisle. Even the entrance to the church was literally packed. Just as Booker T. Washington con cluded his address Judge Billou, a negro leader from Washington, engaged in an altercation with the choir leader con cerning an unoccupied seat, and it is said a blow was struck. Someone in the choir cried "They're lighting." Mistaking the word "fighting" for "fire," the congregation rose en masse and started for the door. One. of the ministers quickly mounted the rostrum and admonished the people to keen quiet. He repeated the word "quiet" several times and motioned to his hear ers to be seated. Again the excited con gregation mistook the word "quiet" for "fire," and renewed the struggle to reach tbe door. Men and women crawled over benches and fought their way into the aisles and those who had fallen were trampled upon. The min isters tried again and again to stop the stampede, but no power on earth could stay the struggling, fighting mass of humanity. The screams of women and children added to the horror of the Bcene, and through mere fright many persons fainted and as they fell to the floor were crushed to death. The level of the floor Is about 15 feet from the ground, and long steps lead to the sidewalk from the lobby just outside the main auditorium. Brick walls ex tend on each side of these steps for six or seven feet, and these proved a ver itable death trap. Negroes who had reached the top of the steps were pushed violently forward and many fell. Before they could move others fell upon them, and in 15 minutes persons were piled upon one another to a height of ten feet. This wall of struggling hu manity blocked the entrance and the weight of 1,500 persons was pushed against it. More than twenty persons lying on the steps underneath the heap of bodies died from suffocation. Two white men who were in the rear of the church when the rush began escaped, and realizing the seriousness of the situation rushed to a corner nearby and turned in a fire alarm. The department came quickly, and the arrival of the wagons served to scatter the crowd which had gathered around the front of the church. A- squad of police was also hastened to the church, and with the firemen finally succeeded in releasing the negroes from their po sitions in the entrance. The dead bodies were quickly removed and the crowd inside finding outlet came pouring- out. Scores of them lost their footing and rolled down the long steps to the pave ment, sustaining broken limbs and in ternal injuries. In an hour the church had been prac tically cleared and the sights which greeted the eyes of those who had come to the aid of the injured was sickening. Down the aisles and along the outside of the pews the dead bodies of men and women were strewn, and the cries of the maimed and crippled were heartrending. In a few minutes the work of removing the bodies was begun. During the stampede Booker T.Wash ington and several other prominent negroes were on the Btage and were un willing witnesses to the frightful catas trophe. None of those in the choir or In the pulpit were injured in the least. For a few minutes they attempted to restore order, but seeing their efforts were futile waited until the struggling crowd had advanced far enough for them to pick up the dead and injured.- Most of the dead are women, and the physicians say in many cases they fainted and died from suffocation. A re markable feature of the calamity is that no blood was seen on any of the victims. They were either crushed or died from suffocation. Capt. Frank O'Brien, former sheriff of Jefferson county, and one of the most prominent citizens of Birmingham, was a witness of the catastrophe. He lives within half a block of the church, and hearing the commotion went to ascertain the trouble. As he reached the front of the church the crowd had begun blocking the entrance, and in de scribing it he said: "I have witnessed many appalling Bights, but the wild scene at the head of those steps is beyond description. Wildly excited negroes reached the top of the steps and began falling headlong down the incline. Others were pushed upon them, and notwithstanding the warnings from the outside the crowd continued to. push. In a few minutes men and women were piled upon each other to a height of ten feet. Presently a negro woman with a baby in her arms mounted the mass and climbing STATE JOURNAL'S NEW BBX6S.

It was .necessary to print the State Journal .about two hours earlier than usual, today, so that work might be started at installing the new double deck Goss press which after many de lays is on the ground. The taking down of the old press and installing the new one will require several days. During that time tbe State Journal will be printed on the Daily Capital press through the kindness of the managers of that paper. over the bodies, leaped to the ground without injury to herself or the infant. As quickly as possible a rescue party was organized and as soon as the en trance was cleared began the removal of the bodies." Rev. Dr. T. W. Walker, pastor of Shi loh church, said: "Shiloh church is a modern brick structure, and has just been completed at a cost of $75,000. There are four en trances to the building and the main one is 16 feet wide. The deaths were caused by everybody trying to rush out of the main entrance at the same time. Inside the church not a bench was overturned, and all of those who wre killed died in or about the entrance. The people near the front of the church were not Injured in the least." The various undertaking establish ments were crowded this morning with hundreds of persons, mostly delegates to the national negro Baptist conven tion, searching for missing friends and relatives who might have been killed in the stampede at the Shiloh Baptist (colored) church. Up to 9 o'clock about fifty bodies had been identified, the greater number of them being local residents who were visitors to the con vention. In front of each undertaking establishment where the corpses lie a squad of policemen kept back the surg ing throng. Every effort is being made to identify those bodies which have not yet been claimed. Those who have missing friends and relatives have been requested to make a round of the undertaking establish ments, and also to make known through the newspapers the names of the miss ing. The fact that delegates to the convention were from all parts of the country, many of them being strang ers, renders the work of identification somewhat slow. It is expected that at least a dozen of the injured will die. After midnight last night several bodies of persons who were crushed in the panic were found lying in the weeds in the vacant lot adjoining the church They had scrambled out of the mass of struggling humanity with broken limbs or crushed breasts and had crawled away in this manner to die. IT IS FIXED AT LAST. President Roosevelt Will Be Sent to Presbyterian Church. It has been decided that President Roosevelt shall attend services at the First Presbyterian church' when he reaches Tooeka. one-,week from tomor row. J The decision was arrived at In com mittee meeting late yesterday after noon. The committee on arrangements for the entertainment of the president after deliberation decided to accept the invitation of the First Presbyterian church to attend services there. The only other detail of the arrange ments that was further decided upon was that before leaving this city the president's train was to be backed down to the Santa Fe shops to allow the president to make a ten minute address to the shopmen. The Monday morning mass meeting to be held at the Auditorium is set for 8:30 o'clock. It is anticipated that many people will come from all parts of the state to be here for the president's visit. From Topeka the president s train goes to Lawrence and Kansas City, and tnence to at joseon.. BIG WOODMEN COMING. Deputy Head Consuls Will Be in To peka Soon.

Close Districts Where- There Are Complications. TROUBLE STIRRED UP. Senatorial Squabble May Lose Leavenworth to Fusionists. Other Localities Where Fight Oyer Senator Hurtg. They will not acknowledge it publicly but the fact remains that the Republi can leaders are beginning to realize, that there is great danger of losing ground in the legislature. Reports from over the state indicate that there will be hard fights in legislative districts where the Republicans had a sure thing two years ago, and in some of the close dis tricts which the Republicans carried two years ago the fusionists will win this year. On the other band the Re publicans may take -a. few districts away from the fusionists. The fight in the Republican ranks over the United States senatorshiD is one reason for this danger in some districts. In others local conditions are the prin cipal cause of defection in Republican ranks. A notable example of the presence of danger to the Republicans is in the city district in Atchison county where Cap tain John Seaton has been elected to the legislature almost without opposi tion for almost 20 years. This year Ba lie Waggener, who Is recognized as one of the strongest forces in Kansas, is op posing him and the chances are said to be about even as to which will be elect ed. In Leavenworth county, too, it is feared that the fusionists may make a gain. There are three districts in Leav enworth county and all three were car ried by the Republicans two years ago by majorities of 221, 155. and 236. The fact that the national soldiers' home has been added to one of tbe districts will make that Republican without a doubt, but it will not affect the other two. The Republican nominations have not yet been made over there, and it is feared that the fight between Curtis and the Anthonys has become so bitter that no matter which one wins in the con vention, the other faction' will knife the legislative candidates at the polls. In Wyandotte county there Is one Re publican district, one fusion district and one doubtful. The doubtful one was carried by the fusionists two years ago, so there is little danger of the Repub licans losing anything there unless Craddock's popularity In Kansas City, Kan., is sufficient to make a change of about 450 votes, which is not likely in a legislative district. The fate of Major J. B. Remington in Miami -county is very doubtful. It is conceded that the Kelly faction in Mi ami county, what there is of it, will knife Remington. but Remington's friends claim, on the other hand, that he will get enough Populist votes to more than offset the Kelly, crowd, and that he will be elected. Two years ago be was elected by Just one majority. There is a rumor that even John Francis, the veteran from Allen coun ty, is in danger, although he was elect ed two years ago by 431 majority. Since that time about a thousand new voters have gone into Allen county. The most of them are laboring' men in the smelt ers and other factories, and are mem bers of labor unions. The fusionists have nominated a strong union labor man against Francis, and the new vote is a very uncertain Quantity. There is a chance for the Republicans to make a gain over the fusionists in Bourbon county. The fusionists carried i both districts two years ago by majori- ties of 16 and 24, and it is quite likely that they will go Republican this year. Some time ago it was predicted that J. M. Nation would be defeated in Neosho county, but now it is claimed by the Republicans that the fusionists have nominated a weak candidate and Nation is sure of election. In Osage county the Republicans had majorities of only 33 and 52 two years ago, and nov they are all torn up over the sena'torial fight, but matters may be smoothed out before election. The Republicans had a majority of 90 in one Cherokee district and 80 and 131 in the Montgomery county districts two years ago. There is a chance this year either to lose or increase these majori ties. The Republicans hve a good show for gaining one in Clay county because of a split between the Populists and Democrats. The fusionists carried Clay before by 63 majority. The Republicans have a good show years ago of only 42 in Chase, 72 in Morris, 61 in Cloud and 86 in one dis trict in Cowley They will probably make gains in their majority in the latter district, however, because the Socialists are said to be making con siderable inroads in the fusionists there with a full Socialist county ticket. Even McPherson county, which two years ago gave the Republican candi date 555 majority, may this year elect an independent. The Republican can didate is P. J. Galle, and the only can didate against him Is an independent candidate who has the support of the fusionists and a faction of Republicans who are fighting "Jim" Simpson. There are a good many other counties over the state where the margin is close on either side. Wichita Eagle: When asked yester day what he. intended to do when he went back in January to join the state law body. Senator James Tapp said with a very grave air that he meant to introduce a very important measure and would do his utmost to have it passed. One of his friends suggested the util ity and the great benefit that would arise from such a law and Senator Tapp was immediately struck with in spired strength to see that the bill goes through. It is to provide that all Kan sas farmers shall either bury or burn hogs that die of cholera. The com plaint now is that in many cases where a hog has died of the cholera he is left for the birds and dog? to drag around or devour. Thus the. disease spreads. The Seventh district Republican con cessional committee will meet in Wichita with Congressman Long next Tuesday and outline the balance of the campaign, fixing dates for Mr. Long up until election time. State Printer Morgan tells the follow ing joke on two Seventh district states men: J. C. O. Morse, of Hutchinson, railroad commissioner, and A. A. Rich ards, of Wellington, were on a wefit- bound Santa Fe flyer recently. Morse (bound for Hutchinson and Richards for the Dodge City reunion. Morse gave the porter a half dollar at Topeka to awaken him' at Hutchinson, as he was extremely anxious to be at home the following morning. Richards tipped the porter to let him off at Dodge City without fall. Meanwhile Governor Stanley, Dave Mulvane, Tom, Kelly. Fred Vandegrlft and others who were going t.o Dodge City, got wind of Morse's and Richards' desire and if is mildly suspected that they made it in teresting for the porter not to awaken the two friends of Chester I. Long. At any rate, when Morse finally awakened of his own accord he was near Dodge City. The porter was not to be found, but the governor and the others laughed at Morse. Morse -alighted from the flyer and waited for No. 2. When it came along a couple of hours later, Andy Richards stepped off. Morse be gan to Joke Richards, but seeing a pe culiar gleam in Andy's eyes immedi ately desisted. Richards had been car ried somewhere into Colorado, and finally got back to Dodge City. -Each of these statesmen is rather touchy on the subject, but this story is true. Effingham New Leaf: "A month, ago i Tom Kelly, candidate for state treasur- er on the Republican ticket, who has Deen convicted oi emDezzung sx,s24. while he was county clerk of Miami county, made his long looked for 'ex planation.' In this 'explanation,' which occupied two columns of newspaper space Kelly says. 'I didn't do H. so I didn't.' He Bays it is a case of political persecution, that the records have been doctored. The commissioners deny this statement. The Miami Republican has offered Kelly S1.000 to prove his state ment. It asks Kelly to send a commit tee composed of such men as John Sea ton of Atchison, Ewing Herbert of Hia watha, E. W. Hoch of Marian. William Allen White of Emporia. Arthur Cap per and T. A, McNeal of Topeka. to Paola to examine the records. If the records are 'doctored' or are not Just as the commissioners and Republican say they are. Editor Greason agrees to pay Kelly $1,000. Mr. Greason has-also asked Kelly to submit the case to a committee selected from the state central com mittee. He has refused both proposi tions. He paid the deficiency thus ac knowledging his guilt The Republi-, cans of his home county endorsed the finding of the commissioners and re pudiated Kelly. An honest, reliable Re publican of Paola in a recent letter to the editor of the New Leaf has the following to say in regard, to the Kelly affair: j "The Kelly fraud Is one of the rank est7 that was ever perpetrated in the state, and it is just now dawning upon the minds of the people. There has been a gang of fellows here who have lied on all occasions in order that the peo ple might not know the facta, but mur der will out. Grimes is Sending out some of tbe most outlandish stuff in regard to Kelly and the last convention that could be imagined. Kelly was here for two weeks before the primaries and worked like a trojan. The issue was a central, committee, delegates to the county convention, and to beat -Major Remington for nomination as rep resentative. He was here on the day of the primaries and his is the third name that voted in the, Second ward. He left on that day at'4 o'clock.-; The result: Of the 22 committeemen 19 are first, last and all the rime against Kelly; of the 222 delegates to the convention 29 voted not to pass resolutions reiViating Kel ly, and Remington was nominated by a large majority. This is- how Kelly's en emies took advantage of him. This county, is absolutely against Kelly.'" BELGIAN QUEEN DEAD Expired Suddenly While Alone Eating Dinner. Spa, Belgium, Sept. 20. Marie Hen rietta, Queen of the Belgians, died here suddenly last night at 10 minutes before 8 o'clock. Neither her husband, mem bers of her family nor her majesty's doctors were oresent at the time of her death. She was seated at a table eating QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS. .Whose Sudden Death is Announced. a light dinner when she was seized with an attack ot syncope. Dr. Guillaume, who in the course of the day had re marked upon certain disquieting symp toms in the queen's condition, was summoned- immediately but her majesty was dead before he arrived. Two mem bers of her suite were with the aueen during her last moments. As soon as the news of the cueen's death became known a large crowd rathered outside the nalace.

The mystery of the murder of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer, whose nude body was found in the Morris canal near Jersey City, has been cleared up by the discovery that the woman was killed in a flat at 103 West Fifty-eighth street where her clothing was found last night. This announcement was made by Captain Titus df the detective bureau, who connects with the murder a man named Hooper Young, who has recent ly been employed in a cheap restau rant. Titus has learned that the wo man's body: was kept for sometime un der the sink in the kitchen of the flat in which she was killed. Young has not been arrested and is believed to have fled from the. city. He is said to have shipped a trurik to Chicago. He former ly worked. for the Hoboken Crusader and -the Dolice found his picture taken with a group ox employes. This picture was shown to. the Hoboken liveryman, who at once picked out Young as the man who hired a buggy from him on Wednesday night. The house in which the murdered wo man's clothing was found is a cheap tenement in a block containing many stables and is within a stone's throw of some of the splendid apartment houses in the vicinity of Central Park south. The murdered woman's husband says that he saw her late on Tuesday, when she left their apartments for the pur pose of purchasing some rolls and fruit. She did not return and the theory now is that she met her murderer, went with him to his apartments and that then, as. the result of a cuarrel he kill ed her. The theory is borne out by facts now known concerning the wom an's life. 7 It has developed that this life was not a good one. a fact not denied by her husband. It is now reasonably certain that the murderer kept the wo man's body in his rooms until Wednes day night when he hired the horse and buggy in Hoboken, and returning to New xork drove to the Morris canal. where he threw bis victim's body into the water. The police give out the following story of the murder and the history of Young. It Is learned from the Hoboken police that tne man wno nired the buggy had been identified as Young, and detectives then traced him to the flat on West Fifty-eighth, street, where a young man was found who had been asked to help Young to carry a trunk out of tbe house on Wednesday evening. "-The police Had- already nearu or tne Pulitzer woman s connection with Young, whose descrip tion fitted that given by Pulitzer of a man who his wife had told blm had accosted her on Tuesday evening ad nad asked ner to go to his Oat on Fifty eighth street. It is believed that the woman after ward met Young and accompanied him to the flat. Youngra father, who the po lice say is John W. Young, a promoter. is now in France. Neighbors say that he nad lived there with his daughter, Mary Young, until last spring, when both went away, leaving the flat fur nished. They say that Young, Jr.,. was first seen in the flat about a week ago, when he slept there each night. The Young flat is one of seven rooms and bath and is handsomely furnished. The bedroom next to the dining room is the one in which it is believed the murder was committed. It is a very small room. Young was seen about 9 o'clock on Wednesday evening, when he appeared in the street In front of the house and asked Alfred Dabney, a lad about 16 years ot age to go into the bouse and help him carry out a trunk. The bov says he assented and helped Young to carry down a neavy trunk which Young said was full of books. In front of the house was a horse attached to a light ouggy in wmcn tne trunk was placed Young got in, according to Dabney, and arove rapioiy aown sixtn avenue. The police say they have learned that on' Thursday morning Young returned to the nouse about 7 o clock and that he was seen carrying the same trunk he had taken away the night before. This time he had the trunk on his shoulder and was carrying it up the stairway into the flat. In the evening between 7 and 8 o'clock Young; it is said, took the same trunk from the house to the office of the Wells-Fargo express company in Sixth avenue near Fifty-ninth street. There he asked that it be shipped to Philadelphia. He was told that the company did not ship to that point, the police say, and he said It would do just as well if it was shipped to Chicago. The trunk was ac cepted and shipped to that point. The Chicago police have been notified and will watch for its arrival. After they had gathered all this evi dence the police opened the door to the fiat, which they found in great confu sion. There was ever evidence of struggle on the part of the occupants. In the small bedroom they found a sin gle bed, the sheet of which was spotted with blood, and other stains were found on a cupboard. Among a sum ber of bottles stood a tin vial half filled with hydrate of chloral. In the room were found one or two articles of woman s ciotning. Dut they Dore no stains. A stock such as a woman wears was later Identified by Pulitzer as hav ing been worn by his wife on Tuesday night wnen she went out to get frul and cakes for hjm. In the bathroom were found two veils and a man's nicrht- shirt, still wet and appearing to have been used to wipe up blood stains and then to have been hastily washed. There was also found an old leather valise in which were scores of letters, all from young, women and addressed to Young. Coroner Sholer, who examined the flat, gave it as his theory that the woman had been murdered by "knock out drops" in the form of hydrate of chloral, and that the murderer then at tempted to dismember the body so as to more easily place It in the trunk but that he had apparently desisted and placed it temporarily in the bottom of the eupooaro. iater ne placed tne Dody in the trunk. While in Hoboken, Hooper Young was connected with a paper called the Crusader, as business manager. The Crusader ceased publication in June and Young then moved away. He said be came from Seattle, and that he had run a paper In the west, but whether at Seattle or not is not known. He is about 35 -years of age. about five feet seven to nine inches in height, dark hair and pale, rather sallow complexion. His hair is dark and ne has neavy eye brows standing out prominently. His father, John W. Young, who is said to be in France, is reported to be a man of wealth. He is said to have been concerned in promoting a shipbuilding trust ana to De connected witn xne Equitable Building association. He is' believed to be a son of Brigham Young, the famous Mormon leader, and to come from Seattle. a Nothing is known at present of the whereabouts of the young man suspect ed of the murder. iS THIS THE TRUNK? Chicago, Sept. 20. A trunk addressed to C. S. EiUng, Chicago, shipped-from New York at 9:10 p.m., Thursday, the 18th, is waiting a claimant here at the office of the Wells-Fargo Express com pany. According to the shipping bill the consignor was "C. S. Eiling, north west corner Fifty-second street and Tenth avenue, New York." There Is no one of that name in the Chicago direct ory. BRIGHAM YOUNG'S GRANDSON. Salt Lake. Utah. Sept. 20. Hooper Young, who is suspected by the police as the murderer of Mrs. Pulitzer, in New York, is the son of John W. Young, a son of Brigham Young and is a well known railroad contractor, having be come wealthy from contracts in the construction of the Utah Northern and Utah Ceneral railways. At tbe time of Brigham Young's death in 1877, John W. Young was one of the former's counselors. He was tried under the Edmunds law, charged with polygamy, but was acquitted on a technicality. Hooper Young is well known in Salt Lake, having up to a few years ago re sided here. KNIFE WOUND KILLED HER. What Autopsy on Body of Annie Pu litzer Revealed. New York. Sept. 20. An autopsy per formed on the body of Mrs. Joseph Pu litzer, who was mysteriously murdered in a Fifty-fifth street flat and whose body was found in the Morris canal. showed that her death was caused pri marily by a knife wound in the abdo men, and not by chloral. Several blows were struck on her head before death, but the skull was not fractured and there were no signs of cerebral hemor rhage. A police dragnet has been thrown out for William Hooper Young, grandson of the great Mormon leader, Brigham Young, who Is suspected of the killing. '.Among the books found in Youngs room in the flat was the cover of a small memorandum, on the front of which was stamped in gilded letters, practical jiererence. on tne inside were a number of notes headed "Blood Atonement," and followed by Biblical references, including an excerpt from the, book of Corinthians, reading: To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of tne Lord Jesus." It now develops that when Young s father sailed for France on July 1. two of the sons went back to Utah. Hooper did not make bis home with his father. but he roomed in the vicinity. Recent ly he called; upon the superintendent of the building and demanded the keys whlcn were given to Dim. The- apartment originally consisted of three suites. These were" thrown into one for the use of the family but upon their going abroad one of them was cut off and was turned over, rent free, to four missionaries who' are proselyting in New York. They have been living there ever since and were asleep when the supposed murder was committed. Their names are Clarence Snow. Law rence Taylor, J. L. Woods and John R. Porter. Mr. Snow said: 'When the elder Mr. Young went to Europe he left four of us here rent free. Soon afterwards Hooper demanded the keys. He lived in suite four, which was entirely shut off from us and we saw little of him. Sometimes we -heard him come in and sometimes we did not. Tuesday night Porter andTaylor were home all the evemns. Wood and 1 came in about 11 o'clock and all of us went to bed. I do not think any of us heard HooDer come In that niKht and we cer tainly heard no disturbance in his part of the house." Detectives have traced Young to Brook lyn. where he went on Thursday morning to bid a friend eoodbve. To this friend he said he was a-o'.nlr to the Rockv mountains.

Mr. Taylor, ar-tintr as spokesman, said: "The enemies of the Mormon church accuse its members of practicing the blood atonement. There Is nothing in it and this crime could not have been committed throuarh any ideas ot jaor- monism that this young man may have possessed.

The Eagle says: A complaint of insanity was made in the probata court of Sedgwick county yesterday against Miss Cora Tolbert, young- woman 26 years old. Poor Com missioner Daniels made the complaint. Miss Tolbert declares that she owns the Sedgwick county poor (arm. of which she is an inmate. Her presence at the institution is caused by her being on the invalid list and having lost nor mother soma time ago. She stoutly maintains that she has supervision of the entire farm, and declares that bar mother was a cousin to Queen Victoria. At times she becomes violent, and at these times she acts more like a person with a high temper than an insane one. The girl's father says that he believes his daughter's unsettled mental state is due to a protracted religious meeting, in which she took an active part The first signs of insanity appeared when the girl's father sent her material for a dress. She made the dress, but on trying it on sne discovered that it did not suit her snd thereunon she tor, it Into strips with a vengeance, threw the scraps across the room and made the room look like a rar shop. Superin tndent Dillon came into the room and demanded that the woman clear the room up. She refused, notwithstanding his demands. However, after protesting for ten minutes she went to work and got the disjointed dress into a heap. Tying this up into a bundle, she sud denly turned and let it fly at Superin tendent Dillon. He retreated and the woman was later put into a- jail room Mr. Daniels visited her, and tells of his interview with her as follows: "I said to her: 'How are you, Cora? 'All right!' she replied. 'Why shouldn't I feel good? I own this institution and it Is under my supervision.' When she talked to me she would laugh with the prettiest little twinkle in her blue eyes, as though she were enjoying a joke at my expense. 'Well,' said I, 'why are they keeping you in here If you are the boss? She replied: 'I don't know; but I am glad of it, for it keeps them from killing me. Yes, they are always trying to kill me. A presentiment told me so. I had a presentiment last night that Mr. Dillon will be president of the United States.' "I asked her where she got her pre sentiments. 'From Christ,' she said. Well, then I told her I thought she had better ask Him to take care of her. She said she had, and that it was He who kept tbem from killing her. She then went on to tell me that she was a sec ond cousin of; Queen Victoria, and traced -the line back ta a. wonderful way. This is a good reason to believe that too much reading has aided in driving her insane. Just a day or two before I was out, I had sent her some magazines, and Dillon said she seemed worse -than she had been lately. In winding up her talk with- me she claimed that besides, the farm, she also owned -the St. Francis hospital, the Wichita hospital and the Rescue home. I asked her who she was, and she said Mrs. J. Gray Dry den. She' said she had been married for fifteen rears and that she had not Seen her husband for three years. I asked about the children and with a blush she said 'I Tiave none.' WOS.

On of Eingling'a Animals Will Be Operated Upon in Topeka. Reports from Kansas City say that one of Ringllng Brothers' circus ele phants will undergo a difficult opera tion when the show reaches this city Tuesday. If the operation is success ful the elephant will be rid of three troublesome soft corns that have caused her to walk with a distressing limp tor many a day. Fanchon is the name of the big beast with the corns and she is one of the best of the many trick elephants car ried by the circus. She has been af flicted with corns for years and her trainer, Pearl Souders, removes them several times during a season. The last operation was performed in St. Louis in May, but since that time the little bumps of tender flesh have again made their appearance between Fanchon's toes and Mr. Souders lias decided that they must be removed when the show reaches Topeka. A representative of the Ringlings who visited this city a few days ago made arrangements to secure a local veteri nary surgeon to assist Mr. Souders and the doctor carried by the Ringlings. Fanchon will be taken into a tent erect ed for the purpose, and after being made to lie down will be securely chained. Then her toes will be spread apart and the surgeons, with their knives whetted to a razor edge, will carve out the corns in the latest ap proved style. Antiseptic bandages will be applied and every effort taken to prevent blood poisoning. Fortune Favors a Texan.

Crosby of O'Fallon, 111., winning the Hazard championship tro phy after killing thirty-six birds in the shootoff. Crosby shot from the thirty-three-yard mark, and as he killed twenty-five straight the previous day his score yesterday gave him sixty-one straight from scratch. J. W. Bramhali of Kansas City was the runner up. There were thirty contestants in the Jones event, at seven birds, and the following ten divided first money: W. H. Herr, Concordia, Kan.: Dr. Clark, St Louis; W. S. Allen, Kansas City: H. Spencer, St. Louis; C. B. Cockrell, Kansas City; Dr. Brown, St. Louis; Dr. Clapp, Moberly; Harold Money, New York; Gregg, Kansas City, and Will Johannas, Nevada. As there was no medal or cup at stake, there was no shootoff. Clayton and Holmes each lost a bird dead out of bounds. Twelve target events of fifteen and twenty birds each were shot oft during the morning and afternoon and the shooting this morning will begin with the thirteenth event and continue until the fifteenth has been finished. Then the contest for the Schmelzer champion ship trophy, fifty targets, will be given. This cup Is emblematic of the target championship of the world. Three mud pie traps were kept busy yesterday un til almost dusk. Seven men participated in the Hazard trophy shootoff. Bramhali, Allen and Cockrell of Kansas City and J. J. Gor man of Topeka were on the thirty-yard mark and H. Spencer of St. Louis was a yard in front with Thiele of Junction City. "Billy" Crosby was three yards from the nearest competitors, being the only thirty-three-yard man. Crosby be gan centering his birds well from the start and used his Beoond barrel only in cases of an emergency. All the trophy seekers killed their first bird but Allen, wbo let his get away clean. The next miss was on the fifth round. Cockrell, another Kansas City man, dropping out. Spencer had grassed seven when he drew a fast right quartering outgoer, which carried the few shots which struck him to the trees. Crosby, Gor man, Bramhali and Thiele remained and they were all bringing down bird after bird in fine form. Crosby's work was especially brilliant, considering his big handicap. One barrel was usually suf ficient for him. Thiele failed to bring down his fourteenth and a hard left quartering outgoer escaped Gorman after twenty-six rounds. Bramhali and Crosby remained to fight it out. and each good kill was greeted with ap plause by the large crowd gathered about the traps. JThey were centering their "birds well and bringing them down almost before- they could get on the wing. Crosby grassed his thirty-sixth, but much to, the disappointment of -the local rowd.. Bramhall's was a swift driver which went almost straight away and escaped without being damaged. WILL MATTHKWBON QUIT McGraw Will Ask Hedges to Release His Claim on tide Pitcher.

On Wednesday the interstate commerce commission will begin at Wichita, Kas., the hearing in the cases of the mayor and city coun cil of Wichita against the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad company for alleged discrimination in charges on export grain from Wichita to New York. Wichita's contention is that the rates are too high as compared with those from Kansas City to New York. It is further reported that the com pany permits shippers at Kansas City to hold grain shipped to them from other points indefinitely and finally allows them to ship it from Kansas City to Galveston or New Orleans for 15 cents a hundred pounds, and that on through shipments from Wichita to CJalveaton the rates are based on the local rate to Kansas City, plus 14 cents from Kansas City to Galveston, al though the natural route for such traf fic is direct from Wichita and not through Kansas City. The Wichita council also says that the same situa tion exists with reference to rates on flour and other products from Wichita to Galveston and New Orleans. The allegation is further made that the same road has violated certain sec tions of the interstate commerce law in that rates on coal and stock to Wich ita from Minden, Mo., McAlester. I. T., and Russellville. Ark., are higher than to Kansas City and St. Joseph, though Wichita is nearer the mining towns named. The next claim is that the Atchison and the Missouri Pacific railroads have been guilty of making unreasonable rates on shipments of sugar to Wichita. The commission also will hear the case of Wichita against the Illinois Central railroad involving Bates on bananas, the claim being made that the rates from New Orleans to Wichita are unreasonable as compared with those from New Orleans to Denver, Kansas City and Omaha. The other cases to be tried are the following: Mayor and council of Wich ita aeainst the Chicago, Rock "Island Pacific railroad, involving discrimi nating rates on lumber in car load lots; against the Missouri Pacific railroad for undue prejudice in the matter of rates on flour from Wichita and other points in Kansas and Missouri to points in Texas, and against the St. Louis San Francisco railroad and others for the establishment of class and commodity rates from Louisville and Cincinnati to Wichita. It is alleged that these are unreasonable when compared with such rates to Oklahoma City, Okla. In answer to the allegations the rail roads set up as a defense dissimilar circumstances" and conditions, such as am of force Many people of this city undoubtedly have laughed during the last few days in unison with practically the entire English-speaking race. "The cause of the merriment has been a poster, Just put out by the "Force" Food company, of Which a picture is shown above. The first time one sees this poster he thinks the bill poster must have made a mistake in putting it up. The second time he sees it he is inclined to the belief that something must have been wrong with the bill poster. After seeing It a number of times it begins to dawn upon him that perhaps it was done by design. The last conjecture is the true one, for this poster has been put up in very city of over 2,000 inhabitants in the Unite States, Canada, England and the rest of the United Kingdom. When you laugh at it, therefore, you may know that you are probably laughing with the greater part of the world. competition, density of traffic, number of railroads, population, etc., and gen erally deny any yiolation of the inter state commerce law.

STARTED IN COLORADO Seems to Be Extending to Kan sas Jobbing Towns. Cat Amounts to 12 Cents Ea.ch 100 Pounds. on An aggressive move was made Fri day by the Santa Fe freight department in the rate war which is now raging among western roads. Letters of in structions dated September 19 were sent out to all agents, notifying them that on September 22. the Santa Fe will put into effect a cut-rate schedule on canned goods more sweeping than any other road has so far announced. The reductions affect al 1 Kansas points of any importance and amount to about 12 cents on each 109 pounds. A Santa Fe official, speaking of the present rate war, said: "It is impossi ble to tell where the trouble started or how it will end. It is simply the old story of the roads getting mixed up in a scramble, and it would be impossible to say what the effect of the recent ex tension of low rates by the Santa Fe will have." The fight started, apparent!, in a bit ter rate war on various classes of freight from the east to Colorado points. On iron and similar products the rates were slashed from 40 to 50 per cent and some of the roads made contracts with shippers, and jobbers which will hold the low rates until January 1. The rates through to Colorado proved to be injurious to the Kansas City job bers and others operating from Missouri river points. They were unable to com pete in prices with the Colorado mer chants who were getting the advantage of low rates. So to placate the mer chants at Missouri river points and keep the hands of the Interstate Com merce commission off of the situa tion, the roads were forced to grant a low rate on canned goods to Missouri river merchants. This .rate amounted to a reduction from 22 cents to 10 cents between Mississippi river points and Missouri river points. The latest move of the Santa Fe Is to extend this reduction so that it will be of benefit to Kansas shippers and job bers. The rates are made to apply to nearly all Kansas points. The tariff sheet giving the complete changes has not yet been published, but from the advance instruction sheet to Santa Fe agents the following partial list of rates is secured: Missouri Rate to River points.

Armour Packing Company Embarks in a New Branch of Business. Kansas City, Mo., Sept 20. Three hundred refrigerator cars, the first ever tin lit entlrelv in Kansas City, have lust been turned out of the car shops of the Armour Packing company. For years cars of all kinds have been re built in the Kansas City shops, but this is the first time that a brand new car was ever constructed by Kansas City workmen. The Armour company was for years a patron of the American Car and Foundry company, but when the car building companies merged prices were advanced and the packing company de cided to bifild its own cars. The re cent work in the Kansas City shops was in the nature of an experiment, and it was a successful one. Two hundred men were given employ ment, and with the exception of the pat ented appliances, such as air brakes. etc., the material used was all Becured in Kansas iCty. Refrigerator cars are valued at about $1,000 each, so the first output of the Armour shops in Kansas City represents an expenditure of about S300.00O. There is no immediate demand for new refrigerator cars on the Armour company at this time, but it is an nounced that the building of refriger ator and other kinds of rolling stock will be a permanent feature of the Kan sas City shops in the future. ASHEB, TO DALLAS. Rock Island Announces Flan for An other Extension. Ardmore. I. T., Sept 20. A promi nent official of the Rock Island reached the city last night on a tour of inspec tion of the recently completed extension of the line from Martsnorne to Ard more, known, as the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf branch, which recently passed into the control of the Rock Island.

Fen ton Wisdom of the Dawes commission also of the party. Regular passenger service on tms extension will be opened October 1. The officials confirmed the resort that the road would build from Asher to Dallas, and that a corpora tion will shortly be formed in Oklahoma for this purpose. President Leeds of the Rock Island will be at the head of the Asher, Tex., line, which will be a short route to the Lone Star state. Two surveys have been made, but it is said that the line will tap Milburn instead of Wapankata and that it will cross the Frisco at Ada. KOCK ISLAND OOT IT.

The ac tual sale was made at the time the Choctaw passed into the hands of the Rock Island. The day before the sale of the Choctaw that road had pur chased the Searcy and Des Arc and con sequently the Rock Island bought a line which had not entered into the ne gotiations. A circular has been issued naming J. F. Hold en as traffic man ager and W. W. Wentz, jr., general manager, both being local Rock Island officials in charge of the Choctaw lines.

In order to relieve this situation some of these were ordered brought into Topeka shops and others to uitawa. -mere is no legitimate reason why the Topeka sheds should not be worked to the limit: lots of men are avail able and the time which that department has been putting in could well bear a lit tle addition.

The remark expresses the popular recognition of the fact that tne sign or consumption is tninnmwi loss of flesh. On the other hand, a pain in flesh is a sure sign that wast ing diseases are be ing cured.

The several steps of the cure were re corded in ounces and pounds of in creasing weight. When there is gain in flesh the wasting disease is being surely cured.

Iuh Co.i Weekly Review of Trade says:' "Domestic trade continues favorable, higrher rates for money having; thus far failed to check Industrial operations or unsettle confidence. Stringency is con sidered only temporary and chiefly of importance to speculators while large imports of gold promise relief. Crops are making; encouraging progress de spite some injury from frost. Labor dis putes are few, the anthracite Btrike be ing the only one that retards progress and each week shows some increase in output. Fall distributors of merchan dise has begun unusually early, while the volume of orders already placed in dicates much the heaviest aggregate on record. At the south and west condi tions are especially favorable, shipping departments working vigorously and payments are promptly maae. rramc congestion causes complaints yet rail way earnings thus far available for September- show a gain of 4.9 per cent over last year's returns and 15.7 per cent over 1900. "Official returns of foreign commerce during August show the improvement in exDorts over the two preceding months that was indicated by weekly movement of merchandise and staples and imports far surpassed the corre sponding month in preceding years. This liberal buying in foreign markets testifies to well sustained domestic con sumption practically as to iron and steel but Imports of coal are normal and will be still more of an element in subse quent statements. "Relief comes slowly to consumers of coke, although each week brings a new high- record of output. Stocks are be coming burdensome in the .Connells- I ville yard, but facilities for transporta tion show little improvement despite nu merous promises that coke shall nave precedence over other frelsht. The worst of it is the increasing importa tion of pig iron, Great Britain alone sending 70,000 tons during August, while arrangements are now being made for remote deliveries. Steel is also coming in freely, German producers accepting orders at gradually advanced quota tions. Estimates of the tonnage on the books of the leading domestic concerns fall little short of 5,000,000 tons covering deliveries nine months ahead, while new contracts for railway -and structu ral shape are constantly offered. The abnormal condition or this industry bears testimony to the unprecedented expansion of business In tne unitea States and it is unfortunate that such heavy purchases abroad are made nec essary by the inadequate supply of fuel. Recent advances in tin and copper were not maintained, supplies proving fully equal to demands. "New England manufacturers of foot wear are well occupied, new business coming forward more rapidly than old orders are filled in many cases, so that activity is assured well into the future. Leather is quiet with no sign of weak ness, but large receipts of cattle at western markets caused a slight reduc tion in prices of packer -hides from the record-breaking figures that have pre vailed. Cotton goods are more firmly held as the raw material develops strength and light stocks in first hands give the market additional support. Woolens and worsteds are notably quiet because leading concerns have sold their entire product of staple goods. "Failures for the week number 199 in the United States, against 157 last year. and 25 in Canada, compared with 20 a year aeo. Bradstreet's says: "Jobbing distribution continues very active and retail business is improving. Now that the corn crop is practically made and the only possible changes are those of quality, the disposition to book fall and winter orders is unrestrained at the west and northwest. At the south the tone of trade reports is notably cheerful largely owing to higher cotton prices because crop accounts are not so favorable as a week ago. Collections are, as a whole, good, and the consensus of reports as to this and as to money conditions point to good supplies of the circulating medium in this country at large.- Whatever stringency is noted, a condition usual at this time, is limited largely to the employment of money in speculation. The claim is made that plenty of money in the interior, and, indeed, at all centers, for ordinary pur poses is available. "The selling position seems to be the strongest side of the price situation, except possibly in the cereals and agri cultural products generally. Even here the fine financial position of farmers enables them to market their products slowly and no accumulation of moment is recorded except in- cattle receipts, which this week surpassed all records. Notable strength is exhibited in manu factured goods, the textiles leading in volume of demand and in strength of prices, keeping with advances or firm ness in the raw materials. A large distribution of cotton goods is going on at the west, and the firmness in the eastern trade is notable, in view of the relatively quieter tone of demand. Woolen goods are firm and the mills are actively employed. The coal situa tion deserves notice. The delay in the ending of the anthracite coal strike throws increased pressure on the bitu minous product, and prices for that article are now at least one-quarter higher than the low point before the' strike began. Anthracite production is slowly but surely increasing, as more mines and miners go to work, but the necessities of some retail buyers make for fancy prices for what is left. A long season at full time will be neces sary to restore stocks of anthracite to old dimensions. "Hides have eased in price partly be cause of this and also because of tin ners suspending work, owing to unprof itable .business in the finished material. leather is as strong as ever, however, because the shoe business is good, be ing best at the west. Lumber is active as heretofore and the strength of prices is notable, hardwoods being specially strong. "There has been a slight easing of the car famine as to coke and coal supplies and the furnace situation in the valleys is therefore bettered, but the eastern mills are complaining of delayed sup plies. Foreign iron and steel are reap ing the benefit, and the European in vasion of iron has now reached the Mississippi. British pig iron for quick delivery is selling freely at Pittsburg and Chicago. Foreign steel is being bought for mills in the central west and large quantities of rails, these fer next year's delivery, are being bought abroad. In finished products, export tinplates, Americans have about all the business that they care to accept. Rails, plates and structural iron are all heav ily sold ahead. The ore trade on the lakes is as active as ever, every nerve being strained to handle the business of fered. In other metals the features are the renewed weakness in copper and tin, the boom of the former metal ap pearing short-lived. Hardware is not ably active at all markets and, as an in stance, western stove manufacturers are reported to have all the orders they cn handle." Fort Rtleyand Return $3.03.

(Additional Church Notices on Page 13.) The Janitor Art Critic- John H. Rafferty in Chicago Becord- Herald.J Ambrose Kelly was his name, and, while his titular dignity did not extend beyond the jan Worship of the Art Mu seum, he dominated the place for so many years that no student or regular visitor could disassociate him from the best and the quaintest memories of the institution. Ambrose, being an Irishman, proud of his nationality and endowed with many of the racial proclivities in a marked degree, was very jealous of his dignity and reputation. Furthermore, though naturally inclined to be garrulous, he was restrained by an overweening cau tion and an almost violent aversion to ridicule. Woe betide the student: who made bold to "guy" him. for to such an adversary he was unsparing, stealthy, relentless and always triumphant In the end. It was regarded as quite a distinction among the students to be able to en gage him in conversation, but the young man who laughed In his face, ques tioned either his veracity or his ac curacy, or failed in any way to pay all deiernce to his utterances, was marked forever for the most ingenious persecu tion, the most unexpected and generally unaccountable losses, and, apove all. the perpetual and silent contempt of this extraordinary janitor. In addition to his other strange qualities, Ambrose was the most monumental, the miwt positive and the most self-possessed liar I ever heard. But in exchange for his seldom-given confidences he exacted the most unquestioning credulity. Being, apparently, a particular favorite with him, I learned that he had been a sailor, and so, one day as he stood be hind me criticising a little marine study or mine, l asked: Mr. Kelly, did you ever see a dol phin?" "A dolphin?" he repeated, with depre cating contempt. Then, after a pause, Uolphlns. is it? Sure. I've saw mil lions av 'em, boy. Millions and millions av 'em." "What was the biggest one you eve saw, Mr. Kelly?" I continued, with caim ana respectful tones as 1 con tinued my drawing. "Big? Oh, 'twas big enough. I didn't say I iver saw a big dolphin." This with evident suspicion that I was laying a trap for him. "Oh. no. You didn't say any thins about the size, Mr. Kelly." I answered. "1 Just wanted to get an idea as to how large a dolphin is." This seemed to reassure him. and he said, hesitatingly, but with absolute and unquestionable assurance: "Well, lave me see now the biggest wan? The biggest wan? Oh, 'twasn't a big wan say. 'twas well, 'twas as big as Brooklyn bridge?" Now the utter monstrosity of this ex aggeration is calculated to make any sane man laugh, and I had a hard time to keep my face straight, but Ambrose delivered it with every evidence of good faith and would have hated me forever if I so much as questioned the exact ac curacy of his statement. He had no sense of proportion at all, of course, or he would never have said that his dol phin was as big as Brooklyn bridge, but we had to take his word for every thing or abide some awful consequen ces. One time I asked him if he had seen many whales. He averred that he had killed about 7.000 "in his time." and. being in a rather talkative mood, he continued: "I landed on wan wanst. an' spint foor days wandhrln' about." "Why didn't you get off?" "I thought 'twas an Island I was on." Are you Bilious? Do you have Sick Head aches? You can be quickly and easily relieved by taking Beechams Pills 108.1 ''An Island! For heaven's sake," how big was st?" "How big? I dunno," he temporised, "y see, I couldn't see the whole av it, but lave me see well, the paart av it I could see was, well, 'twas about the sise av Cintbral Paark!" These are but samples of his prodigi ous stories, and the few audacious youngsters who attempted to argue with him or to point out possible errors in. his' estimates were always worsted and persecuted into the bargain. He never Joked with .the students, though I am sure he loved a joke, for he proved it later at his own expense and to the everlasting delight of all his enemies. We had been expecting M. Gaspard, the new director, to arrive from Paris every day. He came one evening after the classes had been dismissed, and only Miss Truman, the custodian of the museum, was present to give him wel come. The same evening just as dusk was at hand Ambrose saw a seedy, un fashionable stranger Inspecting the pic tures. He wandered about, duster in hand, among the statues, till he no ticed that the visitor was standing as if transfixed before Dnpre's picture of the 'girl in a pasture tugging at a refract ory cow. sure that tne spectator was "a jay," Ambrose cautiously approached and began: "I suppose ye think that a foine plcht er, sir?" "Very fine. Indeed," said the stranger. "P'raps ye think 'tis an lie painting?" said Kelly. "It Is, Indeed, and a beautiful one," said the polite stranger, wondering. "Aah, but is that what y think? Ye think 'tis an lie painting? Well, thin, it isn't. Only paart av it Is lie. The fellow thot painted thot was a thricky wan my sakes, but he was thricky. The cow, d'ye mind, the cow. is a rale cow, sir." "It is very realistic, very," quota the astonished stranger. "No, "tisn't raleistic it is, 'tis rale cow. D'ye know what he done? Oh, but he was thricky! Well, sir, he Just put in the rale shkln av a rale cow and painted the pitcher around it. Thot's what he done, Bir, as sure as my name's Ambrose Kelly, sir." The visitor expressed his astonish ment, but made no question of the ex actness of Kelly's verdict. As darkness fell and it was time to close the mu seum, Ambrose saw his victim start for the door, but as he passed out the outlandishly dressed stranger paused for a moment before Miss Truman's desk, bowed with a polite smile and Baid: "Good night, miss. I'll be here in the morning to take charge." Kelly watched this with starting eyes and Incredulous ears, and when the po lite visitor was gone he approached the custodian and asked: "Excuse me, miss, but may I ask who thot was just wint out?" "That, Ambrose, was M'sieu Pierre Le Saye Gaspard, the new director of the school. He has just arrived from Paris. Why?" "Oh. nawthirf at all, at all," said Kelly with weird resignation. "I was on'y wondhrln'." HUMOR OFTRE DAY. "Many women," said the philosopher, "can make their own clothes, but it is the exalted few who can make them so that the others Willi not suspect it."

'From the New York Sun. 1 Defenders of the Scottish national fare of oatmeal, scones and taaggts have been few. To the ordinary bill of fare' nearly every nation save the Scotch has contributed something, but Scotch dishes, except at distinctively Caledon ian functions, are generally eschewed. A Scotch physician has, however, come forward recently with arguments In favor of Sontttah prwtklnr. TTe aava. for Instance, that dyspepsia and dentists 1 are practically unknown in Scotland outside of the larger cities, in which the national cooking of Scotland is discard ed for foreign dishes and foreign ways. It is a fact that though distinguished In the field of medicine, the Scotch as dentists are little known, and while the details of cases of dyspepsia are less easily procurable, it Is certainly not a national ailment in Scotland. The Scotch show no partiality for pies and pastry, and in the highlands they are much .out of doors two reasons which might be taken to account for the ab sence of dyspepsia apart from the whole someness of their diet. The Scotch are a hardy race, and In' one particular at least they have been able in recent years to impress their views upon the people of other coun tries, namely, in the more general use of cereals. The popularity of cereal food has vastly- Increased in the United States in the last ten years, and If the advocates of Scotch cooking, or rather of Scotch fare, have been unable to get recognition for their views at the dinner table, they have been more fortunate at the breakfast board.

That organ of courtesy and good man ners in the south, the Louisville Times, remarks oracularly that "whether or not the final course at a meal shall be tooth picks is a mooted question." It may be "mooted" in the circles of the very best people of Louisville and the south, but it is not even debatable by well-mannered folk elsewhere. The toothpick Is a com forting invention of man's ingenuity, of which it might be said: "When thou pick est thy teeth, enter into thy closest, and when thou hast shut thy door pick thy teeth in secret that thou mayest not be seen of men." Why send missionaries to the orient while the toothpick habit rav ages our own fair land? Chicago Post. "Now good digestion waits on appe tite, and health oh both."

THE FITWELL SHOE CO. 500 Kansas Avenue, FACTS ABOUT MOSQUITOES. What a Topeka Man Sas Pound by Experimenting. If you would avoid mosquito bites, wear light colored clothes. If you desire to hang out a sign as a free eating house for all hungry transients of tbe mosquito species, wear dark clothes. This is not the advice of a West Indian voodoo doc&or, but It is the scientific opinion of learned experimenters, and is capable of being proved to anyone, who has eyes. Dr. R. S. Magee, of this city, is the offi cial mosquito expert of Topeka and he now has at the Kansas Medical college a colony of big husky mosquitoes, shut up in a glass box, where they continually demonstrate the truth of the theory that mosquitoes know enough to choose between various colors, and select those which they prefer. The big glass mosquito cage has a slid ing front, and inside is a jar of water .ta ken from a stagnant pond in the Kleth tract, literally alive with mosquitoes In various stages of hatching. There are also slices of bananas for the mosquitoes to eat it may be news to most people that mos quitoes like bananas and also seven square berry boxes, placed side by side. Each berry box is a "mosquito roost"' and Is covered with a different-colored cloth from Its neighbors. The colors represent ed are black, dark red, dark blue, white, light vellow, light pink and light green. On the first three boxes mosquitoes are roosting all the time. But on the light colored boxes there are none, except dead ones The evidently regard the light color ed boxes very much as the majority of Kansans regard Lawrence a good place for dead ones. Dr. Magee has made a careful study of mosquitoes, for the purpose of determin ing the nature of the insects, and the man ner In which malaria, yellow fever and other diseases are carried by them. He knows many Interesting things about the noxious intra, auiu ns Buure iniensuu. theories regarding them. "The preference of mosquitoes for dark colors," says Dr. Magee. "account, for the fact that a mosquito almost always announces his arrival by flymg near a per son's ear. My theory Is that the mosquito Is attracted by the hair, which Is darker than the rest of the face. Some have claimed that it is because of the aolses in by Warner's Safe Cure. prominent hospitals exclusively. the ear, but tbls can not be true, as there la no noise in the ear. "It is claimed, however, that mosquito's are attracted by certain noises, and that the humming of the mosquito is of a dif ferent tone In the male and female. I have not yet experimented on this line." Chimmy Some day I'm goin' ter be de main guy In dls ward. Billy Aw, g'on! Yer won't be In Id wld me. Chimmy Huh!

Regardless of the prohibition of grain corners by the Illi nois superior court, the action in wheat at the opening day indicated another se vere squeezing process going on at the hands of the leading elevator houses. For some time it has been understood that September wheat was congested in a few hands. Last Saturday when Judge Chytrau rendered his decision against the marginal powers of the board of trade September wheat suffered. A week of fairly good ex port demand and a night of bad weather Bith rains northwest and more to follow fright- enea tne snorts badly, commission houses that have been short heavily for custom ers today conceded that they could get September from but one Quarter. Little stuff was offered. Receipts continued fair. ly unproved out caDies were somewnat higher and it was feared that the rains would retard movement. September in the nrst a minutes or trade, jumped 114, open ing unchanged to 34c up at 73 to 74 and selling at 75c. December started at 64 to and advanced to 6ra69c. Local receipts were 200 cars, five of con tract. Minneapolis and Duluth reuorted 925 cars, making a total for the three points or 1,120 cars, against ss last week and 1,422 a year ago. Rains ih Nebraska, together with the bullish activity in wheat vut?ntd up corn prices. Tnere was only a little action In September but prices gained at 59V&C, October made a better showing, gaining c over last night at 54e. Receipts were large at 446 cars, 1S3 of contract grade. Contract stocks were still falling oft. De cember opened a shade to c up at 44 to 44Hc and sold at 44. Oats made a fair rally after several days of depression. Rains worked against the quality of new oats and contract stuff was scarce. There was a fair buying early and some of the early upturn resulted from sympathy with wheat and corn. September opened c up at 32 and sold at 324. December started up at 30 and held steady. Receipts were 180 cars, 14 of contract grade. Provisions started quiet, but slightly firmer on a steady hog srarket and the influence of advancing gr.r.n prices. Jan uary pork opened 24 to 5c up at 15.02H to 15.05; January lard unchanged at 8.47 and sold at 8.50, and January ribs, 2c higher at 7.02ft. Bangs of Prices. Furnished by J. E. Gall. Commissions.

From the New York Tribune.l A definite plan of operation was out lined at the first meeting of the execu tive branch of the charity organization committee for the prevention of tuber culosis, which was held this week. An important event of the meeting was a discussion of the feasibility of providing a separate class in the general treat ment of consumptives, and arrange ments were made for interviews with the officers of such institutions. There are already such divisions as "eye and ear," 'heart and lungs." etc. By a classification of throat and lungs, it Is thought that people who have "hard colds," as consumptives often designate their disease, will avail themselves more readily of the privileges offered them in the dispensaries. It would also prevent infection among the patients waiting together in the dispensaries. The subject of sputum cups, flasks and papers received a large degree of attention, and people with coughs will be asked to carry them in tbeir pockets and refrain from splitting elsewhere. Japanese paper in small squares, which are inconspicuous and which can be carried in a paper bag in the pocket, is, it is thought, the most practical. A res olution was passed favoring the erec tion under the direction of the board of health of a sanatorium for incipient cases of tuberculosis outside the citv limits. This could- be done under the provisions of a law passed by the legis lature two years ago. It is expected that the board of health will include In its next estimate the money for auch a building. While there are hospital ac commodations for one thousand tuber culosis patients in this city, there is no provision whatever for people in the early stages of the disease. The committee also arranged for the publication and general circulation of leaflets giving advice as to the care and treatment of consumptive people and those living with them. Edward T. Devine. general secretary of the char ity organization, was authorized to em ploy four assistants, among them an expert statistician, a trained nurse and a visitor. About f 1.000 for the work has already been raised. Of that sum $250 was given with the provision that $o,uuu be obtained. $4.62. "Wichita and return, via "Rock Island System."

TOPEHA STATE JOHENAI OATUBDAT EVEiniTO. C3PTEUBEII D, 1CC2. MTARTHY'S PLAN. "Would Have Receiver Appoint ed for Anthracite Companies Philadelphia. Sept 20. Daniel McCar thy, a lawyer of Hazelton, Pa., visited Senator Quay at Republican state head quarters here today and submitted to the senator the draft of a bill making provision for the apDointment of a re ceiver to assume control of the anthra cite coal mines under certain contin gencies. Mr. McCarthy recently sub mitted the same bill to President Mitch ell of the United Mine Workers. The measures authorizes the legisla ture to appoint a receiver for the coal companies on the ground that the cor porations nave violated the state con stitution -which provides, in article IS. section 3. that charters and franchises of Incorporated comranies may be re voked If the business of the corpora tions is so conducted as to Infringe the rights of individuals or the public wel fare. It could not be learned what transpired duringtheconference.but Mr. McCarthy Intimated that Senator Quay had agreed to give the subject careful consideration. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 20. In order to set all rumors about a settlement of the miners' strike at rest President Mitchell, states that if any .overtures were received from the oDerators they would first be submitted to a conven tion of the miners and the acceptance or rejection of any. proposition made by the coal companies would rest with the men themselves. A dam on Solomon's creek, near here where the coal companies obtain water to operate the Maffet washerv. was blown up by dynamite today. Striking miners are accused of blowing up the dam. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 20, The Tele graph prints the following: "Information has reached the Tele graph through a private source that the end of the coal strike was In sight." The report was to the effect that one of the largest firms, whose representa tives in New York have been discussing the situation some time has decided upon a settlement and an official announce ment would be made either today or early next week. TOlAVE SHAW. H. J. McGraiu, of Chicago, Is Ordered Locked Up. Chicago, Sept. 20. Fearing that he might attack Secretary of the Treasury Shaw when the latter visits Chicago today. Central station detectives have arrested H. J. McGrain, who is said to be laboring under the delusion that the treasury department owes him thou sands of dollars. Chief Wilkie of the secret service instructed Capt. Porter to arrest the man and hold him until after the visit of the secretary and Pres ident Roosevelt. McGrain will be ex amined by a physician and if found to be insane will be confined at the aeten tion hospital. In a letter which McGrain sent to Secretary Shaw he referred to a fund "left for my support by Jonathan Clark in 181Z," and Inclosed a draft for iio.uuo signed James Augustus of the World. CURTIS MEN LOST. Defeated in Preliminary Skirmish. In Leavenworth. Leavenworth, Kas., Sept. 20. The Re publican county committee met Friday afternoon and fixed on Saturday, Sep tember 27, as the date for the primaries and Tuesday, September 30, for the county convention. There was a big attendance of Republican leaders and party workers at the committee meet ipg, and every point was contested on Curtis and anti-Curtis lines. The menus or Mr. Curtis tried to have sena rate delegates aside from the county convention delegates to maKe tne nomi nation for the legislature in the Eighth, the country Republican district. This was defeated. There was a lively debate over the proposition to shut out Democrats from taking part in the primaries. The fol lowing resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That the supervisors and committeemen are hereby instructed to use every effort to have the primaries conaucted in a fair and Impartial man ner, and to permit none but Repub licans who have voted for the last pres idential. state, countv and oitv lican party tickets to participate In and cast a ballot at the nrimaries The vote in the committee stood 10 to 4i. ine bcicners' come veterans were allowed six delegates in a convention that will consist of 126 delegates. There was no ill feeling shown during the meeting except in discussing the propo sition to only allow Republicans to o&. POLITICIANS AT BEL0IT. Stanley and Craddock and Other Poli tioians There. Beloit, Sept. 20. Political day at the Mitchell county farmers' fall festival was not as largely attended as its oro- moters hoped for, yet there was a big basketful of political orators to tell the listeners which side to vote. The So. cialists had for their sneaker Oranvllle Lowther, while the Republicans were represented by Governor Stanley and congressmen uurtls and Calderhead. The Democrats had present "Cyclone" Davis of Texas. C. M. Cole, fnslon nominee for congress in the Sixth dis trict, and W. H. Craddock, fusion nom inee for governor. On account of the II H. WOLFF extends an invita tion to one and all to examine his line of Fall SUITINGS. Suits made to Order from.... AND UP. Mitchell county Republican convention, which is being held today, was perhaps due the presence of three candidates for the United States senate. Mitchell county has been claimed all along for Curtis or Stanley, while It is believed the old soldier candidate for the United States senate, W, A. Calderhead, has a good sprinkling of friends in Mitchell county and there are some who be lieve be stands as good a snow, u not better, than either of the other three candidates. Among other notables here political day were Judge D. L. Palmer, fusion nominee for judge in the Fifteenth dis trict; R. T. Howard of Topeka, who is organizing "To Do Right" clubs, and Greenback Williams of Concordla- A. G. Mead, the present member of the legislature from Mitchell county, and who doubtless will be renominated by acclamation, has so far refused to commit himself for the United States senate. Friends of his believe that inas much as he was a Burtonite two years ago he will be for Curtis this time, while the friends of Governor Stanley claim him for second choice. Republican political leaders here are in a great dilemma over what their op ponents claim is a split among them and are watching them -with the great est concern, thinking the political erup tion may be the means of landing some of the fusion ticket on top. Socialists claim their ticket in Mitch ell county will receive 150 to 250 votes. It is understood among the Repub licans of Mitchell- county that S. H. Dodge, editor of the Beloit Gazette, is an ardent supporter of Governor Stan ley for United States senator, hence the friction in their ranks, it may result in bringing out -another candidate for the legislature in the Republican coun ty convention in opposition to the pres ent incumbent, A. G. Mead. Upon this proposition the name of John W. Mc Brlde, editor of the Beloit Times, may be sprung in the convention. FIVE HUNDRED BOYS. They Will Be Maj. Anderson's Guests at Pompeii Tonight. Five hundred boys will be admitted free to the exhibition of the "Last Days of Pompeii" at Potwin tonight. The boys will be seated on the ground in front of the row of boxes. The letter sent to the State Journal by the boys who were forced to leave their reserved seats on the barns around the show grounds, and containing ref erences to the fun Major Anderson used to have when he was a young one around town, brought hack so vividly to his mind the pleasures of the earlier days that he immediately made ar rangements with Mr. George Raymond, manager of the show, to admit 500 boys rree tonignt The only conditions are that the boys are under 12 years of age, and that they conduct tnemseives in an orderlv fash ion after being seated inside the grounds, iney may cheer and applaud as mucn as tney like.

'Most Men Dig Their Craves With Their Teeth." The wrong kind of food fills more graves than any Other cause. It is easy to retain good health by the use of proper food, and it is pleasant too. The Rev. a. M. Lodge, of Iowa City, Iowa, made a successful experiment. "I am 65 years of age and a preacher. Last winter I went to Kansas and had charge of two churches. A little use of Grape-Nuts food made me believe it to be a true brain and nerve builder: I wanted to experiment further with it so I used Grape-Nuts for breakfast and uDoer for more than tbree months. with the best results. I not only never had better health in' my life but the effect on my brain was wonderful. I bad become forgetful of names and per sons and things, was often unable to recall even the names of old friends. After using Grape-Nuts for two weeks forgotten names came to me and as the days and weeks passed my memory was wonderfully quickened as. to names and dates, and mental ability in general. I could preach without manuscript or notes a. never before, antj-in a month or less I said to myself, 'Grape-Nuts is a brain food,' and as such I now recomr mend it. It also elves health and blood, nerve and muscle. Cheerfully and earnestly I advise students, clergymen, teachers and all mental workers to use Grape Nuts steadily and systematically if you wish to excel in mental and literary work, renew your age and feel well. It is .the best nerve and brain food I nave ever known." for the sewer. The city engineer re fuses to allow him to use It on the ground that it is not of prooer thick ness.

The season will open with the game In Topeka between the Kansas Medical college eleven and the team from Otta wa university. The Washburn team will play the Haskell Indians at Law rence the same day. COACH GILL, Of the Washburn Team. The Kansas teams will all go Into the game this season better prepared than ever before. With good material and competent coaches the teams playing In the state this season should make at excellent record. Interest In the game has been growing steadily. A few years ago the honors were left to be fought for by a trio heavy teams. The Kansas university team was looked upon as the superior of all after the famous Baker team was disbanded. The passing of the presidents' agreement and the ad herence to .the "Chicago conference" rules brought about- a change. After "Rock of Ages" Pendleton." Taylor and the other big follows of the Baker team were out of the reckoning, the crimson of K. U. waved victorious until 1900 when the famous Waiftoburn team, un der the coaching of Benny Owen, the furious playing of Gill, Banks, White, Hughes and others swept everything before them in the state.. Then the mighty K. U. went down to defeat. That year the only team to share honors with Washburn were the Indians. JOHN OUTLAND, Coaching the Haskell Indians. Until then Washburn had not been looked upon by the larger teams as a formidable opponent. The agreement, however, brought all teams who follow ed it, on the same level with more near ly the same opportunities. The hiring of players was at least "regulated." Th larger colleges which had been enabled to secure the winning teams by reason of the power of the treasury, received a set back. That year Washburn had the strongest team, from the standpoint .of individual players, which probably ever played in the state. Had the team work been equal In effectiveness to the INTERESTING SUNDAY. Another conference to decide how to oat Mayor Parkur. r: capabilities of the players the team would have stood for years as the pat tern for coming generations of Sunflow er gridiron heroes. The coaching com pared favorably with that of other teams, but It was not of the Tost order which made the K. U. team of 1899 the undefeated up to date. Long before the "season of 1901 opened the Indians .were picked by the football enthusiasts as the. winning team and the choice was not amiss. nLast season of the braves, Baine, the famous Car lisle player who scored against Harvard, was the bright particular star of the eleven. Coach Ellick sent, his red men Into the game well equipped with heads full of -good coaching. Th last sea son's team which surprised the specta tors was the .Kansas Medics who got into the game late in the season and with little coaching and a line full of green men,- put up a terrific article of football. v Which team will carry off the honor this season is a question. Certain It is that K. U., the Indians, Washburn and the Kansas Medics will all make a bid for the pennant, although actually there is no pennant since the old triangular league was disbanded. The Swedes from Lindsborg, the State Normal and Man hattan teams will likely make a show ing, but outside the first four teams mentioned Ottawa university is the only college that is expeced to put a team on the gridiron which will be a factor. Ottawa will lose Shiras and King among others of the star players of for mer seasons, but the Ottawaians are plucky and the game they have put up during the two last seasons has been such as won' praise for the college. The Indians will have Red Water, DuBoise, guards; Archiquette, Guyon and Felix,' ends; Baine and' Oliver, tackles, and Fallis, captain, Miguel, Hauser, Prickette and Tomahawk back of the, line, all of whom were in last year's team. John Outland, coach of last year's K. TJ. team, who learned the game at the University of Pennsylva nia, will coach the Indians. H will have good material and his men must be reckoned in the fight for first place. Warren Gill, 'who played with Wash burn in 1900 and 1901. will coach that team this season. Gill is counted as one of the best players in the statu. Last season he acted as player and coach during the latter part of the sea son, and managed to- pull Washburn out of a bad place. Just what his abili ties are in the coaching line are not known, but. there is -little doubt but that he will give a good account of him self. Certain It is that he understands the game. The Indians are booked to play the Osteopaths at Kirksville, Mo., today. Coach Curtis, who will look after K. U., is a player who received his educa tion in football under the famous Phil King, who was responsible for the great showing of Wisconsin last season. Cui -tis made an enviable record at right tackle. He will have Jenkinson, Vin cent, Hicks, Brumbage and others of last year's team besides plenty of new material. Curtis will have the best training table probably of any coach, unless it be Outland's table at Haskell institute. j .s The team to be looked after this year will be the Kansas Medics. Ernest Hughes, one of Washburn's stars in 1900, will be the coach. The Medics' last season players will nearly all be at tlw college this -year:- It maffce that "ths honors will still go visiting. Perhaps the record may be made-up as follows K."U. 1899, Washburn 1908, HaskeU 1901. Kansas Medics 1902. WRITES OF STRATTON. j j Mr. Stotts Who Knew Him, Tells of His Success. Eugene B. Stotts of Topeka was well acquainted with W. S. Stratton. the Colorado millionaire who died this week. Mr. Stotts knew Mr. Stratton when he was a poor carnenter and he was in Colorado when Mr. Stratton made his strike at Cripple Creek. Mr. Stotts was then clerk of the Alamo hotel. Mr. Stotts piakes the following com ments on the death of Mr. Stratton: "Stratton the millionaire is dead, but the millions he has left will not keep his memory as fresh in the minds of his fellowmen as will the kind deeds of this noble man, upon Whom fate saw fit to bestow one of her choicest blessings. "Born nearly 65 years ago in a small country town in Indiana, here we find the first indication of that-' indomita ble courage which has marked hi3 life. Leaving his home and school before he was 17 years of age, he Journeyed across the wild country intervening to the great unknown west to satisfy his passion for minerals and" mining. "But it is not as a millionaire that I knew him best, but as a common car penter, a day laborer, though his work m a. ittrpenier snows today tnat in tms line there was great proficiency, and dwelling after dwelling in Colorado Springs is pointed out to the tourist bv the talkative drivers of the summer carriages as. the handiwork of the mil lionaire mine operator. "It was as the carnenter and painter that I remember him. When in the spring of 1891 Cripple Creek was spo ken of as a possible big lead. Stratton gathered together his few earthly pos sessions, and thev were few. and made arrangements for a grub stake while he prospected this new and promising field. At the last moment the two men who agreed to furnish the grubstake failed to appear, thus fate knocked at two closed doors; disappointed but not dis couraged he started astride a burro driving ahead of him another loaded one with his pick.

Here Is where fate ceased to frown and instead bestowed her smiles on W. S. Stratton. as on the morning of July 4th the stakes were driven to decide the bundaries of what has since become known as the greatest gold mine in the world; of the three mines staked it seemed as though the least promising was the Independence, this was the one whicfe he desired xo dispose of so that he might have suffi cient capital to continue his orosDect Ing; suspecting that he was trying to dispose of the least valuable one, the capitalists to whom he applied for as sistance forced him to relinquish his ti tle to the adjoining claim, the Martha Washington, and to retain the Inde pendence, against his wishes. Again we find the fair goddess favoring him. for the Martha Washington proved of little value while the Independence turned out a bonanza, and Stratton in almost a day's time was transposed from Strat ton the laborer to Stratton the multi millionaire, as he sold an interest in the mine to an English syndicate for $10, 000.000. "A great lover of children, Cheyenne park will stand forever as a monument of his love for the little folks. He was married in 1873 and divorced a year later. The gossips don't know wh.r, or if they do have never told; but when riches came his way the wife of twenty years before received a- competency and lived until a year ago to enjoy it. "Whatever were the faults of this great humanitarian, they are "written upon the sands,' and Colorado Springs mourns as one person the demise of this, her greatest citizen, not arreat by reason of his millions but great in the fullest meaning of the word a friend of the poor and lowly as well as an asso ciate of the rich and aristocratic "Short column newspaper men have given him space as a dissipated man, but such was not the case. He sought elegance and comfort, ignored fashion, and received its frown; but today as the haughty aristocrat and the grimy laborer pass the doorpost of his late home they pause as they instinctively utter their eulogy to one of the world's greatest Christians; although outside the church, a true benefactor of the same.

He suffers from excess of mod esty. He blushes, too, easily. There is nothing he dislikes so much as to hoar himself talk. He hides his light under a bushel. He keeps as near the tail end of the procession as possible. He never advertises. He bloweth not his own horn, and is indifferent to the band wagon. He is oppressed by the vast responsibility of being an inhabitant of a commonwealth so immeasurably su perior, in all the elements of present glory, In all the prophecies of future renown, to its inf eror companions. To be a denizen of a state that surpasses all other communities, as Niagara ex cels all other cataracts, as the sim transcends all other luminaries, imposes obligations that render levity Impossi ble." That Colonel Culp's announcement of his candidacy for the secretaryship of ceremonies at the greatest world's fair is an event, in view of the attributes which Ingalls ascribes to him as a gen uine Kansan, Is not to be disputed. Should such a post be created, Colonel Culp of K,ansas is the man to adorn it. It was generally supposed, prior to the Culp announcement, that Colonel John I. Martin would be the natural selection, but bearing the Ingalls imprint as he does, Culp of Kan:s cannot be' re sisted. It is known that Colonel J. I. M., sec retary of sundry ceremonies and bearer of abundant badges, has made a study of the ceremony business and reduced it to a science. He is popularly supposed to be the expert par excellence in this matter, being present at all sorts of ceremonies, wherever a public display presepts itself, and well up toward the front, next to the man on the white horse with the diagonal sash as a deco ration. This, new colonel, this Culp of Kansas, this able and laudable Culp, appears to have arrived just in time to upset cal culations and present unique possibili ties inTthe ceremony line It is seen that "he suffers from excess of modesty," therefore he never would march at the head of a ceremonious procession wearing the gaudiest uni THURSDAY.

Culp,' genuine Kansan, is of "shy and sensitive diffidence." He would make no grandstand plays. He would shrink from having his picture in the papers, with a list of his medals and a dia gram of his tor boots. Culp "blushes too easily." Knowing that it would be unbecoming in a sec retary of ceremonies to blush like a big red apple at a compliment bestowed on a gushing girl delighted with a get-up of the particular ceremony at hand, he would Keep himself in the background, so that the success of the ceremony would be attributed to David R. Fran cis, Isaac S. Taylor or Louisiana O'Leary. Culp would be cut out alto gether by his shy and sensitive diffi dence, by his excess of modesty, by his too easy blushes. But he would still i? Culp, the secretary, and do his work wen. Then, again Culp "hides his light under a bushel." He does not set it out upon a hilltop, in the (midst of a clearing, with calcium attachment and searchlight apparatus. 1 His light would shine, to be sure, and. its rays, confined within the bushel measure, would warm Into being many magnificent ceremo nies.

He would not look well with his head un der a bnshel, anyhow, and Culp would, not let his light shine long enough for a time exposure. Such an act would be culDE.ble. .unlike Culp. Finally.

"It has been sometimes obscurely in timated," said Mr.- ingalls in the article quoted, "that the tyi'ical Kansan lacks in reserve.

We find rheumatism, neuralgia, debility, despepsia, kidney and liver troubles, and blood diseases almost as common in the farmer's fam ily as they are in city homes. Paine's Celery Compound. Heaven's best blessing to the farming community has done more for the banishment of dread disease and the building ud of health than all other combined medi cines. Mr. John Zuspan, a prominent and well known farmer, of Middleport, Ohio, writes specially for. the benefit of sufferers in the rural districts: he Bays: "Last November I was so badly crin "pled up with rheumatism which came on In June, that I could hardlv walk without the aid of-crutches or a heavy stick. About the tenth of November I commenced taking Paine's Celery Com pound, and after using four bottles I was completely cured, and was able to attend to my usual work as well as when I was forty. I am now sixly-bix. and can walk and run as well as a man of thirty." TOPEKA LIGHT EXPRESS and Messenger Service. C C BOOHER. JR.. Maaaxer. 55 Kansas Avenue.

The Saltan .of Sulu at the Grand Monday. House Will Be Formally Opened With Ade's Satire. CHORUS OF 60 VOICES. Frank Moulan Plays "Ki-Ram," the Sulu Snltan. Other Attractions Booted for Topeka Next Week. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Monday, "The Sultan of Sulii." NEW CRAWFORD THEATER. Tonight,: "Sandy Bottom Tuesday. "Woman Against Woman." Thursday,' "A Gambler's Daughter." Saturday, v"Alphonse and Gaston." The strenuous time in the local amusement goers' season- is nearly here. The formal opening of the Grand opera house with George Ade's merry "Sultan of Sulu." to which apparently the whole town has been looking for ward, comes Monday night. It is a milestone in the theatrical life of the city. To secure, in the fourth month of its existence, a current success employ- Some of the Stars Who Will Be Seen ing 76 persona in its presentation ac tually on the pay roll and 76 for whom railway fares are paid, must be con sidered a bit of enterprise on the part of Manager Kane. The libretto is said to sparkle with the style of original humor for which Mr. Ade has become famous through his newspaper stories and books. It is also described as being absolutely free from his picturesque American slang that served to bring him into prominence. The story is supposed to be taken from actual incidents that occurred at the time the -American flag was hoisted over the little island empire- ruled by "Ki-Ram,M the Sulu sultan, the treat ment being extravagantly fanciful. In the music. Composer Wathall is credited with displaying a humorous apprecia tion of the.' many laughable situations devised by Mr. Ade, the score lending itself tunefully. to the merry swing of the lyric. For the -proper interpretation of the ambitious score Mr. Savage has sup plied his-own orchestra of twelve musi cians who will travel with .the sultan's retinue and be under the direction of Alexander Spencer, Frank Moulan, who is described by one Chicago critic as having a funny bone in every joint, will impersonate "Ki-Ram," the Sulu sul tan. Mr. Ade' has placed a generous share of the witticisms and cutting sat ire of the book in the mouth of his Sulu highness. The latter's observa tions on American military and social customs-,' "his witty flings at American laws as he finds them applied to his own case, furnish a continuous flow of fun throughout both acts of the piece. This rollicking, humorous potentate captures the audience with his fund of wit from the moment he observs that the cocktail as well as the constitution follows the flag. Mr. Moulan has a most capable assistant fun-maker in Fred Frear. in the role of "Hadji," the sultan's secretary, who is forced to fol low his master to Drison and through all his vicissitudinous comic opera ca reer. Templar Saxe. the celebrated English baritone, will have the romantic role of "Lieut. Hardy," and Robert Lett has the comedy part of "Col. Jefferson Budd," an "Arkansaw" politician In charge of the volunteers. The romantic prima donna part for "Henrietta Budd" is taken by the bril liant star soprano, Maud Lillian Berri. last season's "Princess Chic."- Gertrude Quinlan, a clever character actress as well as a beautiful, singer, who won her spurs with the Castle Square opera, or ganization, will continue to queen it over the. other wives of the sultan in the role of a Filipino soubrette. To her dainty grace and charming person ality is due the great success of two of the best song hits in the opera. To Blanche Chapman falls the important role of the woman judge advocate, whose legal interference with the for mer discipline prevailing in the sultan's harem gives rise to most of the heathen potentate's troubles and furnishes many ludicrously funny situations. As "Pamela Jackson" Miss Chapman acts as chaperon for the Boston school ma'ams that accompany the military expedition to the island of Sulu to edu cate the natives. One of the distinct types that, Mr. Ade has adroitly used for creating fun is that of "Wakeful Jones," a commercial traveler "from America. This role is played by Charles Giblyn. Gilbert Brown and John Fogarty have the unique roles of "Didymos" and "Rastus," black slaves in attendance on the sultan. "Woman Against Woman,"' a new drama, comes to the New Crawford Tuesday night. "Sandy Bottom." which comes to the New Crawford tonight, is one of the new melodramas of the- year. The piece is one of these pastoral realisms in which the people portray a plain coun try folk, always so Interesting when faithfully produced on the stage. "San dy Bottom" as it will be seen here, is so realistic that one can almost imagine one's self sniffing the ozone of the Ozark With "The Sultan of Sulu n in Topeka. Mountains and listening to the quaint manners of speech of the people them selves. Next Thursday night at the New Crawford the new sensational melo drama, "A Gambler's Daughter," will have its first presentation in this city by a cast of ability. The comoanv is headed by Miriam Shelby, who. although a young woman, has won laurels as an emotional acress in -the last few years, "A Gambler's Daughter" was written by Owen Davis, author also of the pop ular melodramas "Through the Break ers." "Lost In the Desert," etc. The cast includes Miram Shelby, Camilla Crume, Madaline Wheeler, Pearl Ham mond, James NorvaL Walter Stanhope. J. J. Hyland, C. H. Harrison, C. W. Goodrich, Andrew Quirk. W. J. White, L. P. North and others. "Alphcnse and Gaston." a dramatiza tion of the comic pictures depicting the funny French waiters, will be the of fering at the New Crawford next Satur day afternoon and night. GOTHAM'S NEW PLAYHOUSE. David Belaaco'a Theater Republic to Eclipse All Others. Every day David Belasco sits in the auditorium of his new theater, in Forty second street, and watches each nail hammered in and each bit of paint put on, says the New York Sun. It any one asks him when he will open the house he simply says: "When it is ready." He will not endanger any point in perfection to hasten the opening. Beau tiful as tie decoration of the former j Theater Republic is.Mr. Belasco's great est pride seems to be in the arrange ments behind the curtain. He says with a satisfied smile that no other stage in the world is so well equipped as this will be when all the mechanism Is in place, and certainly New York has noth ing to compare with it. All that is ex traordinary as far as the general public can see is the footlights. These are so shaded that even occupants of uppet I stage boxes will not see the lighting. A shade the same color as the proscenium arch conceals the bulbs. Something else unusual has been done with them. Little partitions separate- the lights, so that there is no blending- of colors. But when Mr. Belasco desires his sun to set or rise he will -.not have the Jerky changes of light that usually so poorly reproduce the slow, process of, nature. By a devide of his own the electric illumination can change slowly, grad ually. The various, shades needed for the change from daylight to night are arranged on a wheel that can be re volved as slowly as desirable. Thus are the lights throughout the house man aged, so that one man standing before a board, not unlike the keyboard of a typewriter, can manipulate the lights throughout the building. Nearly all the Belasco innovations are to economize space. The only one that is not so is a dressing room for Mrs. Leslie Carter, built at one side of the stage and unusually spacious and comfortable. Across a passage from it is a wardrobe for her as large as any of the other dressing rooms. A PLEA FOB. REFINEMENT. Gesta and Jokes of Musical Farces &ome from Slums. The Tenderloin has shot into our midst fiery jokes with card sharpers, bunko-steerers, confidence men, -ward politicans, heelers, Ramblers and rdive keepers as theis mjuclei, says a writer in the New York Journal. It has drench ed us in an avalanche of slang. It has soaked us with the humors of the il literate, the weak-minded, and the scavenger, and we have uttered no pro test. Perhaps we were a bit tired of the eternal Quest of the mother-in-law. the tramo, and the ice cream saloon. These had undermined our. strength gradually for a Ion time. -.We -were, therefore, not prepared for the-inroads of the Tenderloin inroads that threat en our extinction as interratlonal hu morists if we do not look out. In the latest musical farces you will observe the audience laughs at types that no respectable citizens would ad mit Within their portals. -They are prin cipally" the types that live by their wits that do others before others do them. They talk a jargon of their own, and the more Incomarehensible it. is the better it seems to suit the purpose of the; modern comedian. Instead of the old-fashioned idea of kicking a man all over the stage a feat that used to convulse our foreparents the Tender lion is responsible for folks that make fun by doing up their brethren, fleecing them, bunkoing them, and robbing thenV of their worldly goods and chattels. This is New York's busy day. and it is, of course, gratifying to tired" Wall street men and fatigued financiers to see this sort of thing on the stage. It makes fun of what is to them a very serious process. But I often wonder what women think of It women for whom, after all, the theaters are mainly conducted. What do ladies know of the unsightly, unkemnt, and black guardly i types that disport themselves, for instance, in the- concoction set forth by the Rogers' brothers at the Knickerbocker Theater? Can they laugh at them? Do they find entertainment in such a congestion of ungodly slang and unyielding toughness? I have watch ed them, at the playhouse these ladies as they- sat in their jewels and laces." pictures of refinement and culture and luxury, and I've -said -to mvself. "Can you, you pretty decked-out dears, ap preciate this cream of the slums, or is your presence simoivdue to the fact that you are sacrificing yourselves for husbands and brothers?" And I've nev er been able to answer-the question sat- factorily. I ve seen them look indljr nant at those "bathing-suit jests that suggested that skeletonization of woman as soon as she was out of ner clothes and pads, but I should like to hear their real sentiments. MRS. CAMPBELL'S RETURN. She Seems to Prefer American Money to British Fame. Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the distin guished English actress, began her sec ond American tour Tuesday at the Gar den theater, New York, in a modern comedy, in striking contrast to the se rious works with Which her fame has been linked. It was called "Aunt Jeannie,". was presented for the first time on any stage, and is by. E. S. Ben son, author of "Dodo," "Aunt Jeannie" is in three acts and deals with the social "smart set" of London. The dominant idea is the pro tective love of "Aunt Jeannie" (Mrs. Patrick Campbell) for her niece. The niece is about to become engaged to a man whom the aunt knows was for merly the lover of a sister who had been ruined by him. At the risk of sac rificing her own fiance, "Aunt Jeanie" flirts with the wooer of her niece, with the result that she is enabled to show him in his true light and to bring the girl to her senses". John Blair, an American actor, was Mrs.- Campbell's leading man. The principal comedy part fell to R. C. Herz. A FEW NEW ONEa The' Latest Jokes Fresh From New York's Funny Men. Here are a few of the jokes In the new Rogers Bros, production: Miss St. Clair Why did you ask mo to stand in front of the mirror when you gave me to this afternoon? Gus Rogers Because I wanted to see myself giving it to you. Miss Aymar I saw a sign in a den tist's window today: "Teeth inserted for K." Max Rogers I've got a dog who will do the job for nothing.

"Yes, today I got a letter with a seal on "Do you know how they serve lob sters at Shanley's?" -"No. How?". "They throw them out." "I hate to use a towel on my face. -."Why?" "It makes me so dry." NOT IN THE FLAT. The Cue Which McCullough Invented in 'Julius Caesar." Thomas W. Keene was billed to pre sent Julius Caesar is a small city in Illinois. When he reached there one of the men who played t- an exceedingly small part in the production was ill. Keene explained his dilemma to the manager of the opera house and asked if there was anybody about the house who could go on at a pinch and play a small "bit." ."Why, yes," said the manager. "My property man does that sort of thins well. Ask him.'" Mr. Keene found the property man and told him what he wanted done. "Have you ever played that part," asked the tragedian. "Yes,"- said the property man. "X played that part for. McCullough." "Then you won't need a rehearsal?" "O. no, not at all. I can play it all rieht."

X"ffLL LEASED "WIS,!" REPORT 07 THB ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon public' tion in Topeka. The news ts received in the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy through the entire day: A complete copy of the night report is also received. Secretary Hay's note to the powers appears to have made a hit with Eng land. The water has grown too cold for the rescue business, so Hbbson will return to work. Senator Hanna says there are no trusts, and Senator Lodge says about 5 per cent, of them are bad. The probability is strong: that when the Moros get a sight of General Miles they will take to the woods. Probably it was party loyalty -which led Speaker Henderson to withdraw in stead of asking the elephant to quit the track- Somebody has been mean enough to suggest that the bad trusts are those which refuse to contribute to the cam paign fund. There is a lull in poblie improve ments in Topeka. This is evidenced by the fact that no injunction suits are being instituted. Germany's receipts in the govern mental telegraph and postal systems last year .exceeded the expenses by nearly 110,000,000. Secretary Wilson's predictions re garding an early reduction in the price of beef appear to be about as valuable as Senator Piatt's forecast on the strike. The dirigible air ship is an accomp lished fact Now if .Andree were only alive lie might carry out his Idea of reaching the north pole through, the Lieut. Peary appears to have bad on board the Windward a little of almost everything to be found in the arctic regions except a chip from the north pole. The steel colossus has won a victory in the courts and can now proceed with its scheme of converting $20,000,000 of its securities into a form more suitable to its purposes, without further hind rance from the stockholders. The return of Baldwin from his search for the pole is closely followed by that of Peary and the latter by the Sverdrup expedition. j It is apparent that the pole will never be attained un til Funston undertakes the job. General Henderson is the second Re publican leader to voluntarily resign a place in congress while occupying the position of speaker of the house. Sim ilar action on the part of Tom Reed is so recent as to hardly need recall. A Newton man meeting another in a shower, as a joke said: "Give me my umbrella." And the friend, in an em barrassed manner, replied: "Here, take it. I picked it up in church thinking it was mine until I reached home." And with solemn mein the joker took the rain protector and walked away. Indianaoolis News: 'It is instructive to note that a proposition to reduce the tariff is spoken of as "tariff tinkering"; but a suggestion to increase it that is something like this: "A new proposal to enlarge the schedule in order to af ford better protection to some phases of industry that are not now sufficiently defended against the assaults of the tuper labor of Kurope." Lynn (Mass.) Item: Abolishing the war taxes on tobacco hasn't redounded to the benefit of the consumer, so far as we iiave been able to ascertain. Pack ages have not been restored to their former size and little or no reduction has been made in the price to the re taller. It is pretended in some quarters that there was no profit to the manu facturers when the tax was imposed, consequently they are now justified in pocketing the equivalent of the tax. Consumers who will, accept that view of it, however, are as scarce as hen's teeth. The working of. the paper trust is thus described by the Green Bay, Wis., Gazette: "At present an agreement is in force between the various mills whereby prices are maintained with a firmness that should fully satisfy them. A central office is located in Chicago where all orders are received and from which all mill orders are sent out. In this manner an over production is guarded against doing away with the consequent cutting of prices. This ar rangement is of great benefit to mill owners and should be thoroughly satis factory. There appears to be no- neces sity for a closer combination than is now maintained. Prices cannot be sent much higher without a revolt on. the part of buyers and the establishment f independent mills. KANSA8 AND THE TABJCIT. The sensation of the past' week h na tional political circles has bfeen Speaker Henderson's refusal to mcceplra' renora ination. for congressman, giving as his reason that he is not in harmony witb the Iowa .state:' Republican platform with reference to a modification of the tariff so as to take its benefits away from trusts where, the trusts axe taking undue advantage of it. It would appear as though Mr. Hen derson has reversed himself and that, too? in a very short space of time. The declaration of the Iowa. Republicans was an extremely modest" one. They simply declared in favor of "any modi fications of the tariff schedules that may be required to prevent then- affording shelter to monopoly." Mr. Henderson at first apparently indorsed v this senti ment, for in his "published, address", he says;!- yS-'-. "Our Democratic friends treat this as moving into free-trade grounds (.It is nothing of the sort,. It is a "bold decla ration that if modifications of the tariff are required to prevent monopoly from sheltering itself under the wings of protection then the tariff shall be mod ified to prevent that condition. For my part, if any great interest in this coun try is prospering through protective policies or any other legislation and is using its advantages,' growth and pros perity to plunder the American people I, for one, am ready to strike it by what ever legal means we may be able to adopt, provided that in so doing we do not hurt Innocent interests." Almost immediately after the publica tion of this address Mr. Henderson an nounced his determination to with draw from the race for congress he cause he is not in harmony with the de claration to which he refers in the above paragraph. Taking Mr. Henderson's withdrawal as a text, the Topeka Capital takes oc casion to declare that "so far as Kansas is concerned there is no sentiment among Republicans in favor of ripping up the tariff in order to harm the trusts." In its zeal to defend the trusts the Capital has evidently made a mis take. There is a. very pronounced sen timent among the Republicans of Kan sas in favor of that very thing. They are not in favor of abolishing the doc trine of protection, but "protection" In the Republican vocabulary means pro tection to infant Industries and not to trusts. It's a far cry from Infant In dustries to trusts. Is there .any good reason why Kansas should favor re taining a high tariff on lumber which enables a lumber trust to rob the peo ple of the state to the amount of the tariff? Is there any reason why Kan sas should want .the tariff -retained- on steel, enabling the steel trust to charge the farmers of America more for every article, of steel than the same trust charges in Europe, thereby adding mil lions of dollars to the profits of the trust? This Is by -no means repudiating the doctrine of protection. It is simply, to use the. language of Mr, Henderson, "a modification of the tariff to prevent mo nopoly from sheltering itself under the wings of protection." .And a great many Kansas Republicans are, in fa vor of it.- GIVE CS HOSS SCHOOLS. The board of education has. decided to submit to the voters the proposition to vote $123,000 in bonds at the November election, for: the building .of four mew school houses and one addition. The board has decided, after several months of deliberation, on this 'step.. The de mand upon the present buildings is so great that children entitled by law to admission to the schools have to be ac commodated in overcrowded rooms or in basements. In North. Topeka 236 children are in basejnent .rooms. All of the schools, with the exception of the new buildings, are crowded. This condition is detrimental to good work on the part of the teachers as well as the scholars. The number of puoils to a room varies from 25 to 74. Rooms with more than 35 scholars are crowded and the teacher is overtaxed, and the scholars can not receive the individual attention they should. To relieve this condition the board would erect a 12 room building and a six room building in North Topeka, an eight room building in Parkdale. a four room addition to the Potwin school, and a new- high school building. This plan will provide for 30 new rooms and wiU provide the city with ample school ac commodations for many years to come. If this plan is carried out every ward will be benefited. Although the plan does not call for new buildings in the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards, the school buildings in those wards will be relieved, as scholars in those schools will be transferred to other buildings- as the new schools provide room. The Third ward has been favored with the addition to and completion of Pblk school. The Fourth ward has the new Sumner building. The Fifth ward has the recently enlarged and remodeled Euclid school and Lowman Hill has the Douglass and' Lowman Hill build ings. The First ward has no new buildings. The condition there demands that something be done at once. A new high school building must be had to relieve the present, building. It is the hope of the board to make man ual training a feature of the curriculum in Topeka and to provide quarters for that branch of the educational .system in the new high school building, but primarily the proposed high school is for the purpose of providing better ac commodations for those desiring the classical course provided by a high school. In planning the building the basement would be designed for a man ual training department should that be desired at some future time. In the last few years the board has used all the money available for build ing and improvements in erecting the Branner, Lowman Hill and Sumner schools and in building additions to Clay, Polk and Euclid. Much money has been expended in putting in improved heating plants, in repairing buildings and installing sanitary closets. With few exceptions the buildings are in ex cellent repair. In making these Improvements the board has been forced to expend all the money available, and no new buildings can now be had unless bonds are voted. Topeka has one of the best public school systems in the country. The enviable position which Topeka holds in educa tional circles should be maintained. To keep up the system the Improvements decided upon by the board must be had. The people will do well to cast their bal lots tor the school bonds at the Novem ber election. Let Topeka progress. LATEST 7I0HT ON PAKXEB. The efforts of the anti-administration ring in the city council to keep the wa ter hot for the citv officials are persist ant and to some extent effectual. So far, however, the officials have succeed ed in climbing out of the tank before the water became dangerous. First, after much preliminary rumb ling, the rebellious SDirits went Into eruption In the vicinity of Mayor Par ker, on the theory that the mayor was sitting on the crater of-the volcano. When the mushroom shaped cloud had blown away, and the attorney general had completed his investigations, he re ported that so far as he could discover, the mayor had not been in the vicinity of the crater at all. and that none of the explosions had touch htm. Apparently discouraged by the dis covery that the mavor could not be blown out of his official chair by a bomb filled with ejectment hot air, or an earthquake of impeachment proceed ings, the opponents of the Parker re gime have directed their attack against C. A. Magaw, who for three years has served the city as police judge. The bombardment of Magaw is most ly opera bouffe, since It has taken the form of an impossible legal proceeding in which a certain energetic but misin formed councilman is trying to amend a state law by resolution of the city council. The acts of Police Judge Ma gaw may not be entirely satisfactory to some of the rjeople of Topeka, but the chances are that he has taken care to put himself well within the protection of the. statutes, knowing of the ap proaching storm. His reports of the re ceipts of his department are apparently all that the law requires, and no wild struggles of city councilmen can force him to do more. While it might be pos sible for a majority- of the council to vote to refuse Judge Magaw any fur ther salary, yet there is a court which stands even a little higher in the eyes of the constitution than a majority of a city council. There is reason to believe that this fight on the Parker administration will be continued, not for the purpose or ex pectation of accomplishing What it is proposed to accomplish, but to harass the officials and manufacture campaign ammunition for the opposition party. Very likely the batteries of accusation will next be turned against Chief of Po lice Donovan or some other city official. The campaign of mud-slinging seems to be "on," ENGINE LIGHTING. Advancement in railroads, their ope ration and the way in which they plan for the future, is a notable character istic of the age. Especially is this im portant in the building of locomotives. The railroad engine is the life of the whole system, and as such the greatest thought of the best minds is bestowed upon it In size and in improved meth ods of building them there seems tp be no limit. Something novel comes out every day. One of the latest and most important devices which is to better the locomo tive is the recently invented electric headlight. The Santa Fe a short while ago contracted for 150 of these to be used on the swiftest and heaviest pas senger engines running on the line be tween Chicago, 111., and Albuquerque, N. M. A most wonderful mechanism is the electric headlight, so compact and at once performing such an import ant function, deriving its vitality from the monster machine of which it is a part and doing its work while the en gine is running and while it is stand ing. The dynamo is actuated by steam conducted direct from the locomotive boiler and can be controlled by the en gineer from the cab. The illumination which it produces is sufficient to light the track for half, a mile in the dis tance, so that it is easily possible to read an ordinary newspaper, were It possible to eliminate the jar. A further improvement on this means of illuminating a railroad track is one which practically prevents collisions by throwing a bright shaft of light upward in sucb a manner that it is visible as great a distance as fifteen miles. The Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul lately has purchased an order of these after experimenting sufficiently to feel con vinced that they are a success. This beam is projected heavenward by emans of an auxiliary plane deflector, which is arranged at an angle of 45 degrees, in such a way that about 40 per cent of the light generated by the mechanism is deflected upward. Thus at night far in the distance an ao proaching engine can be detected if it be equipped with this class of head light, because of the possibility of see ing the perpendicular shaft for such a distance. There has been some objection to the electric headlight for several reasons, one of which is that the care of the ap paratus demands a considerable knowl edge regarding the mysterious fluid, electricity, and engineers often not hav ing this knowledge allowed the ma chine to run at times when it was out of order for such a length of time that the whole apparatus was ruined, and a considerable loss was entailed. But the mechanism has been simplified, en gineers are posting themselves and this should not much longer prove a barrier to the electric, headlight. Another objection raised was that on roads having a double track where two locomotives passed, as they approached one another the headlights of each blinded the enginemen with its bril liancy. Now by, the manipulation of a translucent shade this may be tempered and the resulting injury to engineers and firemen's eyes prevented. In this brief and suggestive presenta tion of what the electric headlight is and how it is operated there Is simply the .comment that its permanent ad vent into railroading should be met with the proper appreciation not for any other reason than that it is to serve the public and the corporations in an appreciable saving of human life and property. THAT ZXINEK8' STRIKE. The following observations on the big coal miners' strike now in progress, from the New, York Journal will prove Interesting: One hundred' and -twenty-four days of the coal strike cost to mine owners, miners, railroads and others 1106,000,000. This does not tak Into account the losses occasioned by increased rents that the shortage of coal caused, nor incidental losses to business and dam ages to buildings from soft coal. Unfortunately, also, it does not con sider the injury to public health, the spread of eye and throat diseases, and the sad impairment of the beauty of cities like New York,' Philadelphia and Boston. Looking merely at the monetary side of the matter, and considering this in all its phases, we may be quite sure that the strike has cost at least a mil lion dollars a dav, This sum is sunk is out of sight and beyond recovery, and might as well have been thrown down the crater -of Vesuvius.. This suggests en interesting question: Are we really quite civilized when we allow a difference of opinion between two sets of men to indet such a wide spread injury, and waste with "such monstrous extravagance so much of the earth's resources? That seems- to be a comment on the mental development of the human race calculated to induce reflection. There are great human enterprises In which those that labor and those that direct never are in conflict, in which Strikes and labor troubles are utterly unknown. Who ever beard, for instance, of a strike in the United States, postal ser vice, the best and most efficient in the world Or in any other department operated by the government?. Some such suggestion as this seems to have worked upon Faneuil hall meet ing in Boston that recently declared in favor of the government ownership of public utilities. A million dollars a day for something to make people think seems a high price but perhaps hereafter we may hold it to have been well worth while. JATHAWKER JOTS. Cowley county horses still frighten at automobiles, Patriotic Abilene is indulging In fresh ripe prunes red, white and blue. Sallna's eighteen joints fattened the Cjty treasury $900 in August fines. Short change. men have reached Wei-' ling-ton three days in advance of the carnival. An Oberlin girl and a folding bed had a lively session. In fact, they made a night of it. A little boy playing on the roof of his father's sod house out in Jewell county fell through and broke his arm and several dishes. Summer has flown at Chanute.

The only excuse offered is "a better Job." And now the Tjexas fever has broken out in Miami county. This means an-' other burden added to the shoulders of Cyrus Leland.

Miss Spade assisted a neighbor In her household duties last week, says an Admire item. Which probably- means that she dug the beets and potatoes for the daily meals. Two little runaway Haskell Indian girls mistook the signs of the zodiao and got away down in Missouri in stead of .the Territory before being cap tured, j A Harvey county farmer raised 250 bushels of potatoes from a patch 50 yards wide and 80 yards long. A sam ple tuber measured 10 inches at the girth and 14 lengthwise.. Great corporations have their troubles as well as the smaller fry. Newton lost its only big wholesale house the same day that a Santa Fe round-house wipei was "touched" for a fiver. In the rush sale of books Winfleld scholars stole nineteen fountain pens from a merchant. Those boys should be promoted to the Reform school without further question. Friends of a Reno county girl won dered why she was in sucb a rush to sail away to Japan as a missionary un til it leaked out that wedding gowns rather than tracts constituted the ma jor portion of her baggage. A Labette county farmer who rises at 5 o'clock and works far in the night the year round, indulged in bad Parsons whisky and stuck his fist through a plate glass front at a cost (including court fines) of S100. How much more fun he might have had in other ways with those hard earned dollars is a matter upon which men differ. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From .the Chicago News.

Don't make too much of a man at first; otherwise you'll not be able to raise the ante high enough to please him later on. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Don't abuse yourself. Others will do it for you. Remorse is the dark brown taste of dis sipation. A bald headed man and his hair are soon parted. Somehow or other anti-matrimonial so cieties always peter out If you want to save up for a rainy day don't wait for the clouds. Might may not always make right, but It's mighty apt not to be left A henpecked husband isn't always to be pitied. There are hens and hens. After all, there isn't much difference be tween perpetual motion and gossip. It's a woman's privilege to change her mind, even when she promises to obey. Remember that walls have ears and key holes have-eyes; and then, too, there are the sugar tongs. It sometimes happens that a man's loose change is sufficient to make him tight. Women are not lacking in a sense of hu mor when it- comes to humoring their whims.
