Hurries to the Bedside of Ilis Dying Father. C03D1ITTEE IN DOUBT. Republican Leader Is Probably Out of Campaign Permanently. little Hope That His Father Will Recover. It is quite possible that W. J. Bailey, Republican candidate for governor, has made his last speech in the campaign. Ilis speech at Fort Scott last night was cut short by a telegram from Bailey vllle announcing that his father was inking and asking him to come home at once. If Mr. Bailey, sr., should rally it is possible that the son may fill those dates close at hand which he can reach without being gone long from home, but the Republican state central com mittee is not figuring on Mr. Bailey campaigning much more. .rva yet no definite arrangements have been made for filling his dates. It is possible that the committee will have to pick up speakers as they can and no one speaker will be detailed to carry out llr. Bailey's campaign. It is no wonder that the average vo ter is unable to grasp all the intricacies of the new ballot law. Even the persons who have been studying the law for months and whose duty it is to in struct courty clerks and county attor neys so that they, in turn, may instruct the election boards, who will instruct the voters, are sometimes mystified over Its provisions. A. J. AVhitmore, chief clerk of the of V flee of the secretary of state, is the man who looks after the details of cer tifying down nominations and other things in connection with the ballot law. He has gone over the law a good many times to familiarize himself with its provisions, but he frequently finds propositions that he doesn't know how to deal with. Then he applies to the attorney general's office. In the attorney general's office As sistant Attorney General Clayton passes on all questions pertaining to the ballot law. It is his specialty and he has made an extensive study of it, looking up the laws of other states and all court decisions which might have a bearing on the Kansas law. About the only thing "doing" now about the state house is passing prob lems in connection with the ballot law. Almose every mail brings inquiries to either the attorney general's depart ment or to the secretary of state ask ing for an opinion regarding the make up of the ballot or what effect a cer tain kind of marking will have. Some of thi-se things have been explained over and over again, yet county attor neys evidently bold opinions sometimes which would invalidate their ballots if they attempted to mark their ballots according to the opinions they seem to hold. For Instance an inquiry which came in yesterday asked if it would invali date a ballot if. in a county where the Democrats have no county ticket, the voter should vote in the circle at the top of the Democratic state ticket, and then switch over into the People's col umn to vote for county officers by mak ing crosses in the squares. Mr. Clayton ruled that such a marking would invali date the entire ballot. A question came from Atchison coun ty regarding the wording which should i be used in placing a good roads tax froposition on the ballot. The ballot j never saw anything like it. It may be aw provides that all such propositions all right, but it is of course questionable shall be place 1 on the ballot by giving whether all these who register are rcsi the title of the proposition and tw& dents of tr. city. All I can do is to take squares, one labeled "yes" and the their word for it. If they say that they other "no." Yet the special law under 'have been in town 30 days, and intend which the tax Is to be voted, and which to make this their home, I can't prove was passed after the ballot law, says trat !t isn't so, and am obliged to reg that the proposition shall be printed "in ister them." this form: "For the nronnsirinn i The registration rush has continued all "Against the proposition. with square arter each one. Judge Clayton is rapidly turning gray under the rapid fire of ballot problems which are coming in upon him. "I would like to see the whole system wiped out and voting machines put in Instead." he said today. "I think a good idea would be for the n-xt legisla ture to offer, say $5,000, for the right to manufacture a voting machine for use in Kansas elections. I imagine a prettv good patent right could be purchased for that price, with the understanding that it should not affect the patentee's rights in other states. Then a nlant .-.w.-.tj,i in me r.enitennarv and convict labor used for the mamn'ae- iuie ui ine macnines. Knousrh could 1 probably be manufactured for use in v the next state election. "I believe it would be a big saving in expense in the long run and where the machine system has been tried if v, given good satisfaction. The printing of ballots for this election will cost the state $30,000 or $40,000. Then under the present system it is freuuentlv n.. sary to pay Judges and clerks for two! days' time because of the long time it lakes to count the ballots. Under the machine system as soon as the polls rlos; the ni.icl.inp can he opened and the ballo-s t:e rlrft,dy counted. When one fi ins thai it requires five persons l:i every rrt.irrt at three dollars a nay it can be readily seen that there would be a big saving in this direction.

Senator Burton made his anti-revision speech. It is reported that the lallroad com panies have turned down the applications at all political parties for transportation to snd voters home to vote at the coming election. In close counties each party is anxious to marshal every vote possible. There are generally students away at col lege or workmen oft at work in some other part of the state who can not af ford to pav railroad fare home just for the privilege of voting. The various state central committees have been in the haoit of holding up" the railroads for Hip tickets for this class of patrons, but this vear the railroads have rebelled. There are several reasons why the railroads have turned down these applications this year. One is tl at a great many tickets are ask ed for and the men who receive them fre quently sell them to scalpers. Two years ago a Kansas man was given transporta tion home from St. Louis. On his return he stopped over in Kansas City longer than his ticket allowed him, and when he tried to use it he was turned down and put off the train when he would not pay his fare Then he brought suit against the company for $10,000 damages, although the ticket had been given him as a favir by the railroad company in the first place. The audiences of the Republican speak ers fipem to be increasing in size. Bailey had 2.5i people out to hear him at Fort Scott last night and Long had a crowd of 8,000 at Wichita. T. S. Stover, manager of the Republican speakers' bureau, is having trouble in lin ing dates for this evening. A number of his principal campaign orators have gone on a strike and have notified him thit they won't work tonight. They are going to lay off to attend Albert Reid's wedding. Captain Stover says if he had known it in time he would have secured an injunction against Reid's getting married till after election. BEATEN BY A TIE. Treaty for Sale of Danish West Indies Is Defeated. Copenhagen, Oct. 22. The landsthing today rejected the second reading of the bill providing for the ratification of the treaty between Denmark and the Uni ted States in reeard to the cession of the Danish West Indies to the latter country. The vote stood 32 to 32, a ti The announcement caused great excite ment in the house and demonstrations on the part of the spectators. CAUSED NO SURPRISE. Washington, Oct. 22 The state de partment was today advised of the ac tion of the landsthing in rejecting the treaty of cession. The action causes lit tle surprise for, as already indicated in these dispatches, the advices received from Copenhagen indicated that the fate of the treaty hung upon the slen- 1.

From the press account of the vote ure. From the press account or tne vote it appears that one of these ill members unexpectedly appeared ana turned tne tide. Assuming that today's action is final for the present session, the offi cials here are disposed to view the situ ation philosophically, resting in the be lief that it will only be a short time be fore Denmark will tire of making good a deficit in the revenue of the islands and let us have them. LOOK FOR FRAUD. New Registration Makes Inde pendent Forces Suspicious. There is likely to be some vote chal lenging done on Tuesday, November 4. in the city of Topeka. The Stahl and Stebbins managers suspect that illegal j voters are being registered in wholesale j lots by the Republican county central committee ward .eiers. When asked this morning whether illegal voters are being registered. Elec tion Commissioner T. S. Williams said: "All I can say is that there is a re- i markably heavy new registration. I day today at the commissioner of elec tions' office. Several carriages are work ing hard bringing in the men who are likely to vote the straight Republican tickti. Many of those who are now register ing are giving their residence at hotels and brarding houses, and these are the ones v ho are to be watched by the In dependents. The Independents expect o recure a complete list of all doubtful voters and investigate their record. If it is fr.und that they are not entitled to vot". their votes, will lie challenged when they come up cn election day. A man well ported on politics said to- :riay: "There is a big floating vote in the I citv -UPt now. and most of it will to the Republican ticket if it can be registered and voted. The floaters are mostly laboring men who have been at tracted to town by the large amount of work which the city affords at present. A great many men who do not live here are at work on the Vine-wood rai'.war, tbe Pavements, the sewers, the Santa Fe FnonK- the numerous new buildings, the improvements of the telephone company 3,1(3 other works now soing on where many men are employed. Some of these men have been here 30 days, and soma have not. Comparatively few of them have any intention of residing in To peka permanently. They will probably stav here until work becomes scarce and tben Tove on. Cf course it is a oues tion whether or not this floating vote is not entitled to a ballot here as much as .inyv?re. It do"s not seem hardly right that a man should be disfranchised simply because be is moving around the country wherever work harvnens to be Plenty and men scarce.

FAVORSJERIANY King Oscar of Sweden and Nor way Renders Verdict As Arbiter in the Controversy Over Samoa. GREAT ASTONISHMENT Will Be Felt in the United States and England. Doth Countries Were Confident of Their Position. New York, Oct. 22. King Oscar of Sweden and Norway has decided the Samoan controversy in favor of Ger many, says a dispatch to the Tribune from Washington. This fact became known on the return of Mr. Grip, the minister of Sweden and Norway, from a long visit to his home. Mr. Grip called at the state department, but did not disclose the decision of his sovereign which must be formally presented sim ultaneously to the three powers con cerned. The announcement will be as tonishing to the governments of the United States and Great Britain, which were confident that they would estab lish fully the legality and propriety of the joint landing of marines at Apia in 1899 to sustain the decree of the Samoan supreme court and end the revolution. The full scope of the arbitration de cree of King Oscar is not yet divulged, and the extent to which it covers the claims for damages filed by the citizens of the three countries and of France may riot be known for several days. These claims, which were nominally the prime cause for arbitration, are insig nificant, however, compared with the question of national honor on which they depended and if the action of the United States and Great Britain hn.d been sustained by the royal arbiter would have fallen to the ground. The Samoan dispute grew out of the concerted action of Rear Admiral Lautz of the American navy and Capt. Sturdy of the British navy, in landing a com bined American and British force at Apia on April 1, 1S99. for the purpose of making a reconnaisance and breaking up Mataafa's supporters, who were in rebellion against the recognized govern ment. It was on this occasion that fhll"P .ns,d11e' e.xefutive officer of Philadelphia Ensign R. Monaghan l"u J t, t 'iiiiiri iiiiu iwo xsriiisn sanors wen: jf il artv Trie IT. b, ship Badger was promotly sent to the scene, carrying an interna tional commission composed of Partlett Tripp, representing the United States, and Von Steinherg, the German com missioner, and C. N. Klliott, the Britisn commissioner. Claims amounting to nearly $30,000 were filed by German. French and American residents on ac count of damages censed by the landing party. As the chief result of the conclusions of the commission, the tripartite agreement of 18S9 was abrogated, the islands being divided between the United States and Germany, while Great Britain withdrew. A convention was signed at Washington on November 7, 1S99, submitting the claims of Samoan residents to the king of Sweden and Norway for arbitration, the main questions being whether the military action of the United States and Great Britain had been warranted. Immediately the a,T- gregate of claims, most of them German and American, rose to about SSOO.OO. In July, 1900, King Oscar consented to act as arbitrator and last spring the briefs containing the arguments on the main point at issue and the schedule of claims was submitted to him. Correspondence between the representa tives of the three powers in Apia at the time was spread upon the records and was extremely bitter and full of reflections upon the honor of the nations concerned and there were frank declarations that if the naval forces of the United States and Great Britain had not been supreme in the absence of German warships a clash must have occurred, which would have brought the United States and Germany to the verge of war. The claims which are incidental to the larger question were filed by citizens of the United States, Germany. Great Britain, France, Austria, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Portugal and Switzerland and natives of Samoa. Citizens of the United States ask for $77,005 to reimburse them for their losses in the bombardment: sub jects of Germany want $103,918: subjects of Great Britain $6,2S5, and citizens of France $26,321. NOT A PRECEDENT. United States Will Refuse to Regard Oscar Decision as Such. Washington, D. C' Oct. 22. An inti mation has been received here that King Oscar of Sweden, who 4s acting as the arbitrator of the issues between the United States, Germany and Great Brit fin, growing out of the Samoan rebellion of 1K99, will decide that the facts pre sented to him in the briefs of counsel, which have been pending for nearly a year, warrant him in proceeding to assess the damages sustained by foreign residents of Samoa as a result of the landing of a combined force of American and British sailors and marines' and the destruction of property incident to the ensuing fight with the rebels. By the terms of the treaty under which the three powers cgreed to submit these claims to arbitration, the arbitrator was first to declare whether or not the Amer icans and Kriilsh were at all liable for damages, and if so then he was to de termine the amount of the liability. He has, it is known, concluded to decide the first question in the affirmative, though it is stated here that no official notice to that effect has yet been conveyed to our government. The next step is to fix the. amount of the damages, and this must be done by King Oscar upon the basis of the facts now to be presented by the representa tives of the governments concerned. The German claims are far larger than the others, amounting to $103,91$. while the American claims are S77.605, and the British only $6,2S5. There are claims of nations not party to the arbitration that may be included in the final judgment, but there are not of much consequence. Altogether the total of the claims is not imposing, and it is certain from the na ture of the proof adduced in support of many of them that even that total will be heavily scaled down by the arbi-tVP- tor. So it is not the amount of money in volved in this approaching decision of the arbitrator that concerns the govern ment of the United States, but rather the enunciation of a principle which If accepted as a precedent would be unpal atable and would so seriously restrict the assertion of American rights in for eign countries in case of revolution or rioting1, jeopardizing the lives and prop erty of our citizens, that it would amount to the total withdrawal of pro tection. This can never be admitted, and so it may be positively stated, that while the United States government will accept the arbitration loyally and pay any damages assessed against it, it will utterly refuse to be bound by such a principle or to recognize it as establish ing a precedent. Otherwise the United States government could be held liable for enormous damages in cases where it lands troops upon the Isthmus of Pan ama resulting in a collision with rioters or rebels even though the government is solemnly bound by treaty to preserve free traffic across the isthmus. For it is pointed out that similarly the United States was bound by a treaty In the case of Samoa to preserve the integrity of the titular government and it was in the course of an effort to discharge this duty that the claims -were originated. If our naval vessel cannot interfere to preserve life and property in the pres ence of a specific treaty, of course they would be still more helpless without a treaty and they could not land marines in any of the West Indian or Central or South American ports in any emergency without risking liability for heavy dam ages. These considerations will lead to the declination to recognize the decision as a precedent, and incidentally to the submission of the next similar case to the Hague tribunal in the. hope of an. other and different decision. 20,000,000 DAYS LOST. Government Furnishes tics on Strikes. Statis- Washington, Oct. 2. The annual volume on the mineral resources of the United States for 1901, prepared by Dr. David T. Day, of the geological survey, has been sent to press and will be issued soon. An interesting feature of the report is a com pilation of statistics showing the number of working days lost in strikes in the coal ir.du.stry. These figures include the pres ent year and are brought up to date. Tlic total number of uays lost for the present year is placed at 20.VK.000 days compared with 7H3.S02 days in 1W1; 4,874,102 in 1900 and 2,124.1."1 in 1S99. The report places the total mineral pro duct of the country for the year at Jl.OSfi, S2S',321, a gain of a little more than 2 per cent over the production of 1900. The gain was made in the non-metallic products and amounted to &5.0G5.S82, against a loss of f32.1n6,909 in the metallic products. As heretofore, iron and coal are shown to be the most important of our mineral products. The value of iron in 1901 was $2-12,174,000 as compared with $259,944,000 in 1900, and the value of coal was $318,910,159 as compared with $306,671,354 in 1900. The value of fuels increased from $406,-S5S,3.-1 in 1900 to $442,395,304 in 1900, a gain j cf almost 9 per cent. Every variety of fuel increased in value except petroleum which showed an increase in quantity of 5.7f-.ttfa barrel3, but a decline in vaiue of $9,571,978, due largely, the report states, to the less valuable character of the in creased product of the new petroleum fields as compared with the older fields. Anthracite increased 9,021. 2317 long tons in output and $20,746,169 in value. The aver age price of anthracite per ton at the mine was $2.05, the highest-figure'btained since 1SS9, ,and the average price" per ton for bituminous coal a-rthe mine was $1.95. about one cent '7"r ton more than In 1900. SOME MUST WAIT. A Number of Anthracite Mines Are Unfit for Working. Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 22. The striking miners are ready and eager to return to work now that the strike is leclared off, but several of the collieries in the Schuylkill region are not in condition to resume full handed and some workmen will be obliged to wait for several weeks before they can be reinstated. It will require some days too. to clean up gangways at the mines that are fit to be operated before any quantity of coal can be shipped. Many of the pump runners, engineers and others have already returned to their posts and are working. Indian Ridge colliery at Shenandoah resumed today. ALLEN IS IX EARNEST. His S uit Against Barney Sheriden t be Filed. H. J. Allen came in from Abilene, where he spoke last night, and is spend ing the day in Topeka. He will not make a speech tonight, but will remain in Topeka. He is one of the Republi cans who have gone on a strike and refuse to speak because they want to attend Albert Reid's wedding. "What about your libel suit against Barney Sheridan?" Mr. Allen was askfcd today. "I suppose the action for criminal libel has either been already filed down in Franklin county, or it will be short' ly. I gave my attorneys instructions several days ago to go ahead and file the suit, and they have been preparing the papers. The action for criminal libel will have to be brought in Miami coun ty, where Sheridan lives." The Republicans had a big rally at Abilene last night at which Mr. Allen spoke. It was a big meeting and was preceded by a torchlight procession in which there were five hundred torches. "The chairman of the Republican county central committee of Dickin son is making the best campaign of any man in Ce state." said Mr. Allen today. "He is extremely original and arouses all kinds of enthusiasm. He is doing better work than any man I have come across at all. He gets out big crowds at all the country meetings, even, and they count for something." GATE UP STOLEN GEMS. Stranger Returned $7,000 Worth and Refuses $500 Reward. Duluth, Minn., Oct. 22. Mrs. T. D. Merrill, wife of a wealthy Duluth lum berman, took a pearl necklace and dia monds worth $7,000 from the safety de posit vpult of the First National bank, and while writing and getting a check cashed the property was stolen from the counter. A reward of ?r00 was offered for the return of the property, and today a stranger to tbe Merrills called at the house and delivered the missing jew elry. He refused the reward, which was offered in currency.. and left without making any explanation. The police believe some respectable man was temnted to steal on the im pulse cf the moment and later became conscious stricken. Temperatures of Large Cities.

SAW THTSPIRIT" Something Not on Bills at Mrs. Wagner's Seance. Some One Touched off a Flash Light. THE MEDIUM FAINTED. Members of Audience say She Had the Trumpet. An Attempt was Made to Secure A Photograph. There is considerable agitation In spiritualistic circles in Topeka today. At a seance siven last night by Mrs. Wagner, a spiritualistic medium who lives on West Sixth avenue near Van Buren street, a flashlight fiend took a hand in the performance in an effort to get a picture of the spirit. One of the specialties cf the spirits at Mrs. Wagner's seances is talking through a trumpet resembling a small megaphone. The spirit who controls the trumpet is that of an Irishman who an swers to the name of "Pat." "Pat" an swers auestions put to him by those in the circle and summons other spirits to talk if the "conditions are right." Preceding the seance last night the trumpet was placed in a pan of water in the center ci the room. The pan of water, it 'is stated, is necessary for the spirits to drink, because they become very thirsty. There were about twenty five people present, most of them believ ers in spiritualism, though a few skep tics were in the crowd. When tile seance commenced every body was required to sit so as to form a circle, either holding hands or with arms touching. It is claimed that if the circle is broken it interferes with the workings of the spirits. The lights were turned out and every window darkened, so that not a ray came in from the outside. i-av was men canea up Dy tne me dium and there were a number of spiPt manifestations. Pat called up other spirits and answered questions for those in the circle. "How is the Kansas election going this fall?" finally asked John White, who lives on West Fifth street near Van Buren. "I think it is going Pat started in. Just then there Was a blindingr flash. The whole room seemed ablaze. The smoke was almost stifling. Mrs. Wag ner fainted but came to a few moments later. Women screamed and men shout ed. The spirit, "Pat." of course, vanished'. Finally lights were secured and people began to ask what had hap pened. Somebody suggested that a sky rocket had gone off. Somebody else thought a bomb had been thrown into the room. Both of these suggestions were, of course, ridiculous. Mr. White had. asked the question which had brought on the explosion and suspicion was directed toward him. as he was known to be a skeptic. He declares though, that he had nothing to do with it, and persons who sat- near him in the circle corroborates his state ments. The flash had come from some other part of the circle. Mr. White had his skepticism confirmed, however, for he says he saw Mrs. Wagner, the medi um, talking through the trumpet, and that there was no spirit in sight. "I don't believe In spiritualism," Mr. White told a State Journal reporter to day, "and what I saw last night con firmed me In my belief, or rather lack of belief. I was looking directly at the medium and saw the trumpet to her mouth. I think the whole thing is a fake. I asked the question about how Kansas is going this fall and I suess Pat must have been a Democrat and took a shot at me because he knows the state is going Republican and didn't want to say so. I left pretty soon after the racket took place." It is rumored that the flash was hot by a woman who is a believer in spirit ualism but who doubted the reality of Mrs. Wagner's seances and took this method of finding out. It is reported also that she had a camera with her and tried to take a picture by the light of the flash, but whether or not the ef fort was successful cannot be ascertain ed. MRS. WAGNER'S STORT. Mrs. Wagner was seen by a State Journal reporter this afternoon but did not want to discuss the occurrence un til she finds out to a certainty who per petrated it. "It was one of two people," she said. "There was nobody else present who would do such a thing. We had just twenty-five persons here. I don't want to say much about it until I find for sure just who did it. "One thing is sure I drm't propose to let this matter rest. I have had two pictures ruined by it and I propose to find out who is responsible and make them pay for it. I don't solicit people to come to my seances and they must behave themselves if they do come. My seances are private and I undergo every test that could be asked for. Srmebody touched off a flashlight, but instead of its doing what they expected it to do it exploded." The two pictures which Mrs. Wagner referred to hang on the east wall of the room south of the center. The glasses over the pictures and the frames were consmeramy sii.oB.eu. "I went there with my cousin last night," said another man who was pi j ent. "It was the first seance I have been to for several months. I went with a private crowd last winter and sat next to Mrs. Wagner, and I will confess that I was greatly mystified by the perform ance. I sat next to Mrs. Wagner that time and held her hand in the circle, and I am positive that the voice which spoke through the trumpet was not b.er's. I'll wager any amount on that, but it might have been somebody else. At any rate, we all agreed that it was very mysterious, and I confess I did not know w;hat to think about it. "Last night I was the second person from Mrs. Wagner. We had been there. I suppose, an hour and a half, and the seance was nearly over. 'Pat,' the spirit who was what they call the trum pet control, said 'Wait a minute now. and we will see If we can't distribute these flowers. There was a large bouiuet of flowers. I felt something touch me, and thought it was one of the flowers which had been thrown to me. I stooped over to find it, and had just partially raised up when the flash went off. I was greatly surprised. I never saw such a flash. Mrs. Wasrner just collapsed back in her chair and said. "Oh, my! Oh, my! Who did that? Somebody strike a light.' "I struck a match as soon as I could and the room was full of smoke. Strange to say there wasn't near as much com motion as you would suppose. I thought it vas part of the programme so many strange things were happening and so did a number of other people. 'I think the man who did it was a young man whom Mrs. Wagner had been warn ed against. I understand he is a sort of amateur detective and has been taking these flashlight pictures in the joints. If it was for the purpose of taking a picture I hope it was a success, for I would like to see just what happened. "There were two pictures over near the southeast earner of the room, which were blackened with smoke, but what I don t understand is that the man I think did it sat some distance from these pictures. 1 don't understand that part of it." There 1s considerable mystery about the whole affair. The question is, who touch ed off the flash? Was it for the purpose of securing a picture or just to see what the medium was doing? If for a picture, was it successful, and who has the pic ture? Mrs. Wagner has many friends who firmly believe in her powers a3 a medium and who believe If the picture was a suc cess it will only tend to-show her powers more fully. GOES UP IN SMOKE. Starch Trust Unin Is Destroyed by Fire. Tuesday afternoon the old starch fac tory, east of town, was totally destroy ed by fire, causing a loss of property which at one time was worth aDout $50,00. but which has greatly deterior ated since It was purchased and closed up eleven years ago by the starch trust. At the time the fire broke out, men were at work removing from the building some of the machinery, which it was intended to ship to some of the other factories of the trust. The owner of the building was the National Starch company of Chicago. There was no insurance on the building, but the loss will probably not be over $8,000. The origin of the fire is not known. It may have been from tha sparks of a passing Santa Fe locomo tive, or it may have been caused by someone smoking In the building. The fire was discovered about 3:30 in the afternoon, and was at the time con fined to the southwest corner of the building. Apparently it had originated In the roof, which gives foundation to the theory that it started from sparks from a passing engine. Until May of this year. Captain C. H. Titus of this city was in charge, of the building for the trust, but since that time there has been a change In the ownership of the building, a new and larger trust having swallowed the old one. Mr. Titus estimates the present value of the building and contents at $8,000. In speaking of the origin of the industry in Topeka, Captain Titus says: "The starch factory was one of the pioneer experimental institutions erect ed for investigation of the manufactur ing possibilities of this country in the early days It was established about 25 years ago and for a number of years was used for the manufacture of sorghum, glucose and similar products. J. G. Slonecker was among the men in terested in its establishment. After a few years of such use it was converted into a starch factory. "During the later eighties the Topeka Starch company was organized, being financed by Cyrus K. Holliday and Thomas Sherlock, of Cincinnati. T. O. McGrew came here in 18S8 as manager of the establishment and for-12 years it was run successfully. The "brands of Topeka stai ch became well known throughout the west and large quanti ties were shiiiped to the eastern mar kets. About 1890 the National Starch company was organized, with control over about 20 starch factories in various parts of the country. The Topeka fac tory belonged. In January of the fol lowing year Mr. McGrew retired and I assumed his position, which position I retained until May of the present year. The factory was closed in February, 1S9I." RUINED HER SON. Mrs. Mulladay Would Sne' Mayor Parker on Account of Joints. Margaret Mullady, of 323 Tyler street, the widow of Patrick Mullady, called at the city hall to see Mayor Parker this morning. She says she is going to sue the mayor for damages because he has allowed the joints to run, thereby caus ing the downfall of her son, Thomas Mullady. "The city has allowed the joints to run and have ruined my son, who was my sole support." said Mrs. Mullady. "I believe that the city owes me a liv ing. I came to see Mayor Parker about it, and I am going to sue him unless he will do something for me." Mrs. Mullady failed to find Mayor Parker in his office, and she was ad vised to go and see Probate Judge Fa gan about her son, for the purpose of having the son committed to the insane asylum under that provision of the law which permits the incarceration of habitual drunkards. Patrick Mullady, the late husband of the unfortunate woman, died about a year ago. He was a hard working man, a contractor and builder by profession, but when he died he left little for the support of his family. The one son, Thomas, is a young man who has be come a hard drinker, according to the statements of his mother. "He is not a bad boy," said Mrs. Mul lady, "but he has the one fault of drink. He does not loaf around or steal, or anything like that but he drinks so hard that he is not ngnt in nis nead. Mayor Parker is allowing the joints to f ho ht t tr. it tvUt-r run, and ne ougnt to see to it tnat l am given something to live on, since the joints have ruinea my son. WAS ONLY A LUNATIC.

Paris, Oct. 22. The police commissary attached to the Elysee palace says the report published in the Figaro thi3 morning of the alleged attempt of a dangerous anarchist- to seek an oppor tunity to assassinate President Loubet is much exaggerated.

TOPEKA STATE JO URN AL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.: OCTOBER 22, 1002. KANSASJEWS,: Improvements Being llade at the New Prison Site. Large Amount of Work Going on at Leavenworth. A HUGE SMOKESTACK. llises 125 Feet Above Uround 9 Feet in Diameter. Circular Bull Fen of Two Cir cles of Barbed Wire. Leavenworth, Oct. 22. The new build ings at the new federal prison site are going ud as- ranidly as 400 men can work, but it will be no less than eight years before all of the buildings will be in perfect order and running smooth ly. One can gain no estimate of. the enor mous amount of work that is being done within the barricade Irom the out side, but a walk -through the ground fenced In. impresses one with the mag nitude of the undertaking. A reporter wenf to the site and was hown over the around by Guard Bid die. Entering at the northeast gate one first' encounters the brick making plant Where millions of bricks of the finest quality are made by a machine that is capable of compressing and turning out S8.G00 In a working day. Two men are kept at work steadily taking away the bricks formed which are hauled on cars to the kilns, where they are burned and then taken to the buildings. The laundry building with its thick walls and barred windows is almost completed and will be used by the pris on authorities for the 400 convicts at work on the buildings. The men will eat and sleen there in order to have more time in which to work on the buildings and will not have the long walk in the mornings and -the even ings. The northwest cell house is a huge af fair and it is said that it has as many brick in it as there are in all of the buildings on Delaware street. The walls are from four to six feet in width and there are to be 300 cells in this building alone. Each cell is of brick and there will be four tiers of such. Instead of constructing the cells back to back, a space has been left behind them where waste water can be taken out without entering the cell. The walls of this building are finished and slaters will commence work next week. It is about SO feet high and is one cf two that will be builv. One of the greatest sights at the prison Is the boiler room. Ten boalers'are to be Installed here and here also is th.? huge smokestack from which two men fell re cently. The stack is built of steel and is now its full height, 125 feet. The task of putting up this stack was no smad one. Compressed air is forced through a hose of 12& feet tnto the air and tlwre used to work a hammer for driving rivets. The Stack is nine feet in diameter, but about twelve at the base. It rests on a base of concrete and the hole in which th- p;pcs from the boiler are to enter is so large that a horse was driven through it. j.Wnrkj on the big tunnel is progres-j'ns iapidly. This" is large -"enough for n. man "to walk through without stooping and about five feet wide. AH4.of-3the steam fiul water pipes are to Tun throug-f tins t6 the several buildings. One of the most interesting .places with in the enclosure is the "bull pen" in which the convicts are marched when thej- enter the grounds and before they leave it. It is constructed of barb wire and is circular. There are two circles of posts one within the other and about ten. strands of wire in each circle. Here the men ire kept until the guards take their positions on the walls and until the others remove their arms as none of the officers who have charge of working forces are armed. The surface of the prison vard is a per fect network of railway tracks. The prison has its own engine used in hauling stone from the quarry on the side of the hill west of Twentieth street and the lncnmo ttve is capable of running at the rate of 15 miles an hour. The. engineer convict is no novice at the work, having been a lo comotive engineer and long a member of the brotherhniKl. He receives his discharge from the prison next Mondav. Besides the railway engine there are four donkev cfigir.es constantly at work hoisting ma terial to the roofs of the buildings cr drawing cars to their places. In one of the buildinKS already com pleted are the dark cells, eight in num ber. The building is not a verv inviting looking place and the windows high above the ground are heavily barred. At the southeast corner of the big in closure is a large brick tower bullet proof in which guards are stationed. On the platform are brick walls and around the walls are holes for the.guards to shoot through in order to protect -themselves in case of an attack. At the gate near the tower inside of a high fence surrounded by strands of barb wire the two famous bloodhounds are keot end are handy in the event that a convict tries to make his escape. The. dogs ave not the ferocious kind, but they have the best of reputations for tracking criminals. Jointist Gets an Injunction. Winfield, Kan., Oct. 22. Judge Law rence of the district court has issued an order restraining the city officials from attempting to search or seize goods in the place of Henry Schmidt, one of the a' leged jointists of this city.

Only Theological Institution West of the Mississippi Kiver. Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 22. The Kan sas City Baptist Theological seminary, the only theological seminary of any de nomination west of the Mississippi river was last night formally opened here. This new school starts off under auspic ious conditions with the united support Of the Baptist churches in Kansas, Mis souri, Iowa, Nebraska and other central western states. It will have 25 stud ents for its first enrollment, and, with its building half paid for and with $8,000 to defray the running expenses for the first year, the seminary's prospects are most, flattering. The building secured for the school is the old Fowler mansion in Edgerton place. It was purchased by the Baptists at a cost of StO.000 and J5.000 of this amount has already been paid. The buildinjr is situated in the highest sec tion of the city, overlooking the Mis sori and Js'aw rivers and the territory tributary. It is modern equipped, has large rooms and plenty of grounds. It has excellent advantages for a theologi cal school. Last night Baptists of the two Kan sas Citys and .many from out of town attended the opening ceremonies. Ad dresses were made by Dr. Stephen A. Northrop, acting prsident of the board of trustees, and Dr. w. P. Crannell, of Topeka. Dr. Northrop talked of "The Future of the Kansas City Theological Seminary," and also gave a history of the movement which has resulted in its establishment. Dr. Crannell's- subject was "Orthodoxy and Evangelism." After a Fecred song service, which in cluded choir and solo numbers, a recep tion was held and then the visitors were given an opportunity of inspecting! the building. The movement to establish a Baptist theological school in Kansas City was started about five years ago, but active plans were not laid until about a jear ago. when Dr. Northrop, pastor of the First Baptist church, advocated the es tablishment of the school and made an ap peal for $5,000 to further the plans. This appeal met with a hearty response on the part of Baptists throughout the middle west. The Fowler mansion in Kansas City, Kan., was decided upon as the home of the new institution, and negotiations for its' purchase were immediately entered into with the result that the transfer of the property was made last spring. In the meantime Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lovelace donated 115 acres, valued at the present time at ?10.XSO, to the school's use, so that this munificent gift gave absolute assure a nee of the success of the work begun, by Dr. Northrop and other ministers of the two cities. The appeal for cash donations was so generously r tponded to by Bap tists generally that it found that the sem inary, could be established without the necessity of selling either all or a portion of the lanA.given by .Mrt and Mrs. Love lace. and a recent meeting of the board of trustees it was decided to hold this prop erty for five, years, the belief being that it will double in value within that time. The idea of establishing theological schools in the eoumereial centers is on that has found favor in the east. Medical, law and other institutions of learning along professional lines have operated successfully in the large cities, because the students are: given the opportunity of get ting practical experience along with their studies. The- theory is that theological Students can accomplish much good for themselves if given these same opportuni ties. The constituency of the new seminary will come from -Kansas. Missouri, Iowa. Colorado, Nebraska and Oklahoma and already much encouragement has been re ceived from these statements. Baptist congregations have practicallv furnished the new seminary and Rev. Dr. R. W. Wiseman, the financial secretary, reports that cash donations aggregating per day are now being received from states in the Mississippi valley. Within a radms of 75 miles of Kansas Citv there are HO.rviO Baptists, and the board of trus tees, recognizing this fact, believe tha.t the location of the new school oelonged in either Kansas City, Mo., or Kansas City, Kan. A permanent president has not as yet been elected, but the faculty has been chosen and everything is in readiness for class work. which will be begun this morn ing. Rev. Dr. Rafferty. who has been as sociated with Baptist churches in this vi cinity for the last thirty years, will he professor of svstematic theology. Rev. James F. Wells, professor of English scripture, and church historv: Rev. Dr. Crannell. pastor of the First Baptist church. Topeka. professor of homileticis and pastor theology, and the Rev. F. L. Streeter, professor of New Testament Greek. Lectures will be given by Dr. Wil liam R. Rowlands of the First Baptist church, Lincoln. Neb Rev. Dr. Crannell of Topeka. and Rev. Dr.Stephen A. Norm rop of this city. The regular course for students will be three years. "Every state in the west,' said Dr. Northrop last evening, "has a Baptist college, and the new- school will draw from these. The institution will belong to the great "west and it will stand alone.-' Dr. Northrop was last night introduced to wire greetings to the Missouri Baptist General association, now- in session in St. Joseph, and to the Colorado Baptist con vention now in session in Denver. GRAND RACE FOR LIFE. N. Y. Millionaire's Special, Sick Wife Aboard, Made 61 Miles an Hour. Arkansas City, Kan., Oct. 22. A special train carrying Mr. Earhart,' a New York millionaire and his wife, passed through this city Tuesday on the way to Texas to save the life of Mrs. Earhart. The pa tient was under the care of two physicians and several nurses. About a week ago Mr. Earhart took his wife to. Colorado for her health. It was soon discovered that the altitude affected her lungs. Reg ular trains were too slow and a 'special was chartered. The train left La Junta, Col., at 9 o'clock last night and when it arrived in this city had made an average of sixty-one miles an hour. A $3,000 Fire at Longton. Longton, Kan., Oct. 22.

Attended and Cheered Home Team. Portion of Indian Eleven Were Second Team Players But Lindsborg's Men Were Not in Star Condition. McPherson, Kas'.', Oct. 22.-The Beth any Swedes demonstrated in the game Tuesday afternoon that they are no mean competitors in. the game of foot ball. Oh the athletic field at Lindsborg the hardest fought gamein the'history of the college was played with the Has kell Indians. The game was fast and furious from the start. The tactics of both teams were similar, alternate end playing being the only feature. The Beahany team Has rather wealcened from several hard games last week. In the first half neither team could claim any advantage, but in the second Beth any came within seven yards of mak ing a touchdown, when they lost tht ball. From this on it was certain that neither team would score, and the last half was finished with no advantage to either, the score being 0 to 0. Fully 1, 500 people witnessed the game. The interference was about equal, but the line bucking and the long punts of Hauser kept the In dians from defeat. Leslie Peterson made the star play for the Swedes, not withstanding that he' entered the game in a badly crippled condition. The gains made by both teams were small. The Swedes were rapidly gaining ground and were not far from goal when time was called. The officials were Dick Odell and Tucker. Haskell seems to have played several of their second team men in the game with Lindsborg, which perhaps accounts for the closeness of the game. It is likely that many of the star players at Haskell have been laid out by injuries received in tke recent hard, games with Illinois state university and Missouri state university. Yet the Bethany eleven was also disabled. Compared with the game, in which Haskell beat Washburn 29' to' fl the line up of the Haskell team was as follows: Against ..Against Washburn. Lindsborg. Felix right end. .Shoulder Blade Dubois right tackle Allis W. Baine right guard Shepherd Hunt ...w. center Hunt Redwater" V: left guard Lego E. Hauser left tackle... Woods Guyon left end Syldais Fallis quarter Lemott Archiquette right half..... Gokey Oliver left half Baine P. Hauser full back P. Hauser It will be seen from this that Haskell had only three first team men in the game against Lindsborg They were. Hunt, Baine and Hauser. It Is no doupt true that many of the, second team men at Haskell are nearly or quite equal to the first team men, and there may have been some changes in the regular first team line-up since the Washburn game. In the Haskell-wasnDurn game, j-iaskeu had the following team on the field dur ing the last ten minutes of the second half, and Washburn was able to make good gains against it: Right end. Woods. Right tackle, Gardner. Right guard, Shephard. Center, King. Left guard. Big Leg. Left tackle. Allis. Left end, Felix. Quarter, Moore. v uJ Right half, Jenos. Left half, Gokey. Fullback, C. Baine. Of these. Woods, Shephard, Allis and Gokey were in the line up against Linds borg. A RECEIVER APPOINTED. Baltimore Club Passes Out of Control ot Ban Johnson. Baltimore, Oct. 22. The fact that the case of Henry S. Rippell Co., build ers, against the Baltimore baseball and athletic company, has reached the stage of the appointment of receivers for the affairs of the baseball company, will be regarded over the country as a tacit ad mission that Ban Johnson, president of the American league, nas developed his plans for placing a club in New York and abandoning Baltimore as a baseball city. By the decision of Judge Stock today appointing receivers for the Bal timore baseball and athletic associa tion, the claim of Riopel Co- takes precedence of the assignment of the lease of the grounds by the company to Ban Johnson, president of the American league. Whether the courts determine that Johnson or the Baltimore baseball com pany controls the grounds matters not in its relationship to the claim of Rip pell the builder. It is apparent that had Johnson had any idea of using the grounds he would have taken steps to satisfy P.ippell Co. That he permits the advancement of the claims against the grounds indicates that he does not intend to use the grounds again, and that Baltimore will be without baseball unless Manager Hanlon of the National league comes to the rescue. The appointment of receivers is made by the consent of the baseball company, which acknowledges that a considerable sum is due Rippell Co., which the company is unable to pay, because Ban Johnson created what he terms a for feiture of the baseball franchise belong ing to the company. Jockey Henry Retains Labori. Paris, Oct. 22. Jockey J. Reiff failed to keep his appointment with, his solici tors, Kelly Boddington, today in re gard to the withdrawal of his license. It is rumored that Reiff 's father, ,who is in California, proposes to bx tag an action in behalf of his son. who is a minor. Milton Henry, the other American jockey whose license was withdrawn, has retained Maitre Labori, who de fended ex-Captain Dreyfus, and who has appeared for some of the Americans in volved in the turf scandals recently, to look after his interests. K. TJ. Very Poor on Defense. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 22. The football practice on McCook, field Tuesday after noon was again unsatisfactory, and the University of Kansas men will have to take all kindy of-, a brae'"tp make a showing against. Wiseonsiii. on Satur day. The men were forked on signals for over an hour and then Coach Curtis lined the two elevens up- for scrimmage work. On the kickoff the scrubs would bring back the ball 20 to 35 yards every time, and after they had -fceen given several trials, the scrubs were finally told to go ahead, and in less than four minutes of play had made a touchdown. The advances weref made steadily for half a dozen plays, when -a man was shoved clear, through ithe line and went down the field 40 yards for the touch down. At no time did the scrubs fall to make their gains, and only once were they forced to puntj- When the first team was given the' ball it found Jt just as easy to go through the scrub line, showing the -lali-around weakness on defense. --.ht'rri TERRY A TRUE FEATHER. McGovern Willing to Bet $50O He Can Do 120 Pounds in Ten Days. Chicago, Oct. 22. Terry McGovern is a little fellow, to. hear him talk, and anybody who thinks he has outgrown the true featherweight class and is no longer able to make 122 pounds can have $500 of his money, so he says. This proposition J to; make this weight was made by the Jittle Brooklynite upon his arrival in town, vhen he offered to bet Harry Franks $500 that he would make 120 pounds inside of ten days. "You are looking big, Terry," said Franks, and then, just to start some thing Terry flashes a roll as big as his fist. "I'll bet you $500 'that I can do 122 pounds in two weeks'," said McGovern. "Yes, I'll do better than that. I'll put the money up right now to do 120 pounds inside of ten days, and this goes for anybody that, thinks they can win my money.". McGovern is fHlfflling a week's en gagement at a local theater, and yester day afternoon and evening boxed four fast rounds with Billy Finucane, the little west sider, The bout was fast and spirited, although McGovern held in his punches, arid allowed Finucane to make a good exhibition. Terry is anxious concerning his match with Young Garbett and says he is afraid somebody else will get to him and manage to- win before he has the chance to regain his championship laurels. McGoveVn is pleased with his matching with Benny Yanger, the local boxer, and hopes a club will soon make a satisfactory bid for it. He will leave for the ert after his theatrical engage ment is out and will do his training there for both the Corbett and Yanger fights. New Track for Gothatnites. 3." New York, Oct. 22. When- the Morris park track shall have pased into history and been cut up into building lots its place among Metropolitan race courses will be taken by a new track which will be the greatest course in the United States. It will be controlled by men who will be responsible for the popu larity of the sport of kings and will be a grand affair in every particular. The track will be located in the Jamaica Plains section of Hempstead, where 480 acres of land has been secured at an average price of $800 per acre. The purchasers of the property, acting through agents, are said to be August Belmont, William G. WThitney, Thomas F. Hitchcock, Dr. E.-D. Morgan, J.. Pier-; pont Morgan and other, men of wealth. On the plot- is to be reared the grand est race course in the world. Paddocks, club houses and grounds are to be laid out without regard to expense and a feature of the course is to be the chute of one mile straightaway, without hol low or break, over which it is expected world's records wfl be made. Durnell Not "in Favor East. New York, Oct. "22. There was a story current at Morris park today., that "Boots" Durnell, who is a part owner of the-western colt McChesney, was not in the good graces of, the jFrench jockey club, and ;fcrthat: rfasoii his colt could not race, on-, an eastern.. track, Purnell. had his joekSy's,. 1 license .revoked in France a year ago, but -he. was. still per mitted to train .race bo,rses,: which would make it appear that there could be no objection to; him here. The Cali fornia jockey club, it is said, has re fused to- allow his horses to race there, but the Wrestern jockey club, operating the Chicago track, has never even con sidered Durnell's good standing. Her- mis and McChesney at Morris park is out of the question now. but an effort will be made to bring them together at Bennings. Hermis worked a mile and a half between races today, his time for the last mile being 1:40. Poor Outlook at Old Penn. Philadelphia. Pa., Oct. 22. At Pennsyl vania the football situation is the saddest in many years. When the season opened those who followred the quakers' fortunes expected to see a round up of some good material at Franklin field. But the fact becomes more apparent day by day that in the matter of purity in athletics the red and blue practices what it preaches, not only as to the letter but as to the spirit of the law. There are at least half a dozen -men playing on other teams today who have been lost to Phil adelphia for the lack of a scholarship. Starting the season with the remnants of a former disaster, Coach Williams and his assistants made an excellent begin ning. The team took a spurt In the Get tysburg game, which caused hope to sweil in the breasts of alumni and students. Then the hospital claimed both quarter backs and several other men, and the red and blue-airship, that had 3tarted so prt?t ty an ascent, came down with a crash and Brown cavorted over and around the wreck. Pfeffer Breaks an Arm. Chicago, Oct. 22. Fred Pfeffer has broken his arm. The accident resulted from a throw to nrst in practice at Ra cine. The throw snapped the arm and it is doubtful if Pfeffer will ever play again. Perhaps he will have to take to bowling the way his old side partner in the stone wall infield has done. The right field half of that infield is still living. Anson is running his billiard and bowling hall and has been known to make a political speech. Burns and Williamson are both dead. Welsh Will Train for Fleischman. New York, Oct. 22 Julius Fleischman, who was at Morris park today said that when his term as mayor of Cincin nati expires next July he will devote his entire time to his racing stable. Tom Welch will train exclusively for him, as he has severed his connection with Frank Farrell. Americans 5 Nationals 4. Kansas City, Oct. 22. The stars of the American and.

John T. Brush, the new owner of the baseball club, is expect ed to arrive in this city Wednesday from his home in Indianapolis. Then, maybe, the names of New York's next year team will be revealed. Johnny McGraw is still doing his sphinx act, and no one need ex pect to hear how the. Giants will line up in 1903 until John T- gets here. Pven then it is likely that another excuse will be made for a delav." It is probable McGraw has not secured Christy Mathewson's signature to a con tract for next season.- Frank Bowerman is another McGraw has not signed, and. even though "Matty" may make up his mind later on. it is a sure thing Bowerman will not. for Bowerman is signed with the St. Louis American league club for two years at a salary of $3,750 a year.

Atlanta, Ga. big catcher at the time he signed received a bonus of $500 in cash, and, if details are necessary, the money was paid in one bill. But while McGraw is remaining silent, the American league is keeping New York ers interested in baseball. The new or ganization is constantly sending out re ports that it will put a team in this city next year, and the persistency of the re port leads all to believe that there is more than mere talk to the story. The latest news from the American league camp is that Merlet Adkins. the crack pitcher of the Milwaukee team of the Western league, has signed to play with the American league team in New York next year. The story comes from Adkins himself, so it amounts to something. 'Ihe PlUsburg team may lose another one of. its stars. Clarence Beaumont, the swift center fielder, it is said, has been flirting with the American league, and le ports say that if he is assured a place on a New York team he will come here. Harry Killillea. who signed Adkins, has been authorized to offer Beaumont $5,000 for his year's services. Princeton Takes New Hope. Princeton-, N. J., Oct. 22. Princeton in the next three weeks will meet her three biggest rivals this year, Columbia, Cornell and Yale. Every bit of work done by any of these teams is closely taken into ac count by the Princeton team. To learn of. Cornell's defeat by the Indians a.l't.?r the Ithacans have been given, by many the championship this year, turned the tide of feeling somewhat. Then Columbia and Yale did not make showings which frighten Princeton. But the thing most in favor of the tiger team is its own score and the way it work ed to get it ini the game with Washington and Jefferson. F;he men today are all in good condition, and a hard week is being put in perfecting plays for Columbia next Saturday: 1 Shake-Up Likely at Cornell. Ithaca. N. Y., Oct. 22. Ithaca is a city of mourning on account of Cornell's tie feat at the hands of the Carlisle Indians Saturday. Never -in the hisUiry of ath letics at Cornell was there a greater sur prise and. despite the fact that Cornell had a crippled back field and that Brewster was not in the best of condition, Cornell has been looking for victory. Captain Warner is wearing a heavy bandage around his head, while one eye is swollen to twice its normal size. Lar kin has a severe muscle, bruise and Cof fin is badly bruised up. Coach Reed has arrived from Princeton and no sooner had he made his appearance than all sorts of rumors regarding changes in the make up of the eleven were afloat. It is possible' that some of the line men will be- utilized in the back field, while it is practically certain', that Davitt will not retain the position at center. New TuU Back for Yale. New Haven, Corin.. OctJ' 22. Yale's back field will be strengthened tpday byt the rec tum of Morgan Bowman, the freshman from Hill school, who was, injured twice in Succession and has been 'cripled three of the five weeks since the season opened. Bowman will probably be the permanent choice for varsity full back. Charley Raf ferty of Chicago, last year's end rush, will take an examination, to remove the conditions in his studies. He has been ineligible all the fall. If he passes he will rejoin the eleven immediately. All the members of. the eleven finished Saturday's West Point game in excellent condition.

Rheumatism is caused by urea, uric acid and other irri tant poisons in the blood, which are carried through th? circulation to every part of the body and deposited in the muscles, joints and nerves. When the system is in this condition, exposure to night air, cold winds or damp, chilly weather, seem to arouse the sluggish blood and the most terrific pains begin to shoot through the muscles and joints and they swell and inflame, writhe and twist, and so intense is the suffering that the s strongest constitution cannot ms racking- tortures of acute Rheumatism, and many times its victims are left hopeless, There is no limit to m akmg organs.

TOPEKA STATis JOCTRyAI VTEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBEk 22, lOa. 3 RAILROADNEWS. Progress of Kailway Iluilding in China. Engineer of Hankow Canton Railway Talks. WILLMODERMZE CHINA Says Kail ways Will Do More Than Missionaries. Chinese Preparing for Another Great Rebellion. Grant B. Caylor, civil engineer in the employ of the Anglo-American Con struction and development company, now building a railway from Hankow to Canton, China, has Just arrived in Minneapolis. In an interview with a representative of the press, Mr. Caylor described his adventures in the Celestial Empire In graphic language. In regard to the advance of railway construction he Bald: "I have been working on all sorts of railway surveys and similar enterprises inoe I went away. I was for two years at Kait-Chai. running lines in the Ger man concession, but more recently have been hammering away at the Pekin Syndicate route in -phansi. For two years I was associated with the Hankow-Canton survey and construction. "The Chinese don't love us Christian pigs a bit better than they used to. We often had to fight our way round vil lages on the Hankow proposition. The natives didn't use firearms against us, but thfy had all kinds of clubs and stones, and innumerable devices for makirg life miserabl" to foreigners. "Kailway construction is going on at a rapid rat", in fact, and if all the pa per railways arranged for Chinese ter ritory were built, there would be as many miles of railway in China as there are in the L'nited states. "The building of railways and the op ening of the country will, of course, do more to modernize China than all the missionaries and ministers we can send there. A regulation Irish construction boss, who bai gs a native over the head with a shovel when l.e gets gay, is more really respected than a courteous minis ter of state. The fact is that the Chinese laugh at us when they are not mobbing us. The Chinaman has a point of view that no while man can understand. He thinks he has the laugh on you when you "would swear it was cm him, but. "what lun is tiu re in ha ing the laugh on a man when he points his linger at you and d-':s most of the laughing himself? "The Chinese seem to be saying to themselves: 'Well, we'll let these fools dig and swf-at about here for a few years, and then tear their old works al! up as soon as we're ready.' "Talking about being ready, the Chi nese are not ready. They were, not ready when they started the boxer out breaks, but they thought they were. The military d monsiration of the pow ers merely showed the patient Chink that he had been premature, so he apologized, sat back and began his In e) arations over again. Now he Is drilling himself in European military methods and tactics. European officers are teaching him. European rides. .and a m monition ore' fionrtrisr i ntV The'tTmrr try in ship loads, despite the terms of settlement, and some day it may he twenty years there will be another Chi nese outbreak. "The next time it will not be easily suppressed. If at last it is suppressed the Chinese will sit back again, apolo gize a few more, and make their prepa rations on a still greater scale. There are hundrds of rri'lions of people all of one mind about foreigners. It is impos sible to defeat people like the Chinese permanently." BIG ENGINES ORDERED. Alton to Haul 15-Car Passenger Trains to World's Fair. The Chicago and Alton is preparing for the World's fair. Alton officials have or dered plans drawn for tifty high-grade passenger coaches for delivery before the opening of the Louisiana Purchase Ex position and has also placed orders for THEORIES ABOUT FOOD. Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living, about vegetarianism and many other fads along the same line. Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat, pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore advanced to prove that meat was never intended for human stomachs, and almost make us believe that our Sturdy ancestors who lived feiur score years in robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been gross ly ignorant of the laws of healtn. Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was ex tended to any kind from bacon to acorns. A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guic.es to follow in mat ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best. As compared with grains and vege tables, meat furnishes the most nutri ment in a highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quick ly than vegetables and grains. Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons, people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first it may be easily corrected by the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours and no matter how weak the stomach may be no trouble will be experienced if a reg ular practice is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion, and everv form of in digestion will be overcome by their use That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure its proper digestion, by the dailv ue of a safe, harmless digestive fnedhjine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the natural digestive principles, pepsin diastase, fruit acids, and salts which actually perform the work of digestion Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerad ing under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for indigestion as they have absolutely no effect upon the actual digestion of food. 1 Dyspepsia in all its many forms is simply a failure of the stomach to di gest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia, is to make daily use at meal time of a prepa ration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which is endorsed by the medical pro- fession and known to contain active di gestive principles. All druggists sell Stuart's Dvspepsia Tablets at 60c for full treatment. passenger locomotives for December de livery. The coaches will be of the largest size, with a seating capacity of 100. Uclivery will be secured one year from the date of contract. The Baldwin Locomotive works has received the order for locomotives, the first delivery to be two powerful passen ger, engines, which will be given a thor ough trial, preliminary to the placing of an order for twenty locomotives to be used during the World's .fair. These engines will be the largest r use on roads in the middle west. They will be of the Prairie type, with six 80-inch driv ing wheels. These engines are designed to haul fifteen car trains from Chicago to St. Louis without the usual change at Bloomington. If the two engines are satis factory, an order will be placed for de livery cn January 1, liHM. H. R. NICKERSON RE-ELECTED. Again Chosen as President of Mexican-American Steamship Co. St. Louis.

Tho result of the annual election was as fol lows: H. It. Nickerson, re-elected president; A. L. Roby, elected vice president and manager; F. N. Lufflin, re-elected secretary and treasurer. NOT ENOUGH ENGINES. Cars Cannot Be Placed Where They Are most Needed. Speaking of the car shortage, the Chi cago Chronicle says: The trouble with the western lines is not so much the lack of cars as it is the lack of a proportionate number of locomo tives to handle what they have. Jjurins the last year and a half there has bcei. an enormous increase in the number of freight cars in use on the roads centering at Chicago. There has been as large an increase in the number of effective loco motives as the builders could turn out, but the motive power men have been out stripped by the car men in the race. It is bilieved by those conversant with the sit uation that the orders for locomotives now in the hands of the builders will rem edy this conelitlon. Some anxiety has been felt over the prospects of a great rush of hard coal for delivery through the middle west cn the resumption of work in the east, out the roads are confident they can take care i-f 'his trade as fast as the coal lins cai turn it over.

M-, and other points in the west. Davis wa3 here until two months ago, but since then has been away. Chief Snyder and the shoos fire fiehters were the first to arrive at the starch fac tory after that building was noticed ablaze Tuesday afternoon. Their efforts however, were directed against obstacles wmcn, in comparison witn wnat mignt have been partially saved, was nil. Frank Woodruff, msnector nf material. has returned from Chicago, where he has been looking over an order of car wheels for a time. Tuesday he was In Kansas City for a similar purpose, but may re turn to Topeka to remain some days be fore being assigned further. Amos Woods, a painter, was called to Lawrence Saturday by the sickness of his baby. While he was there he received a telegram from Wheeling. W. Va., an nouncing that his mother was dying. He was unabie to respond to it. The child has sufficiently recovered that he is able again to wield the brush. Thomas Brennan, who for several years has ruled the tank room force, retired to the boiler shop Tuesday morning. Claude Maze, wno lor some aays nas been laia up owing to an injured foot, reported, and, as announced some days ago, took cnarge of the tank room workers. Philip El usher, a coach truck workman. was around the shop Tueselay. He was obliged to lay off some days ago on ac count of the serioils illness of his daugh ter, who was taken with typhoid fever. She became better, but sfnee has grown worse and is now seriously sick. F. E. Williams, the North Topeka car penter, who fell from a scaffolding while helping shingle a house Monday evening, is father of George Williams of the boiler shop. The younger Williams does not con sider his father as being In a elangerous condition just now, but it is possible that he may have some internal injury. Clinton J. Moore, clerk to Mechanical Eneineer Edward Grastrom. is able to be out of the Santa Fe hospital after beinc detained there a month or more owing to an attack of typhoid fever. Moore will not leturn to work, however, for some weeKS, probably not until December 1. It is likely that he will go to Pennsylvania for a visit and recuperation before resuming his duties. Henrv Finch of the brass corner has been obliged to lay off again. One even ing last week Finch attended a party and was a victim of the old time trick of hav ing a chair jerked from under him. Part of the time since he has been able to be on duty, but his back was somewhat in jured and he probably will have to lay off for a short time. W. A.

Anart from the improvement of mate rials cf construction themselves, dis tinct progress 'is beipg made irv the use of existing materials to pptter aavant age. This is espeffally theM case with the various eorr.Mijations of hietal' and cement included' in the general term of "reinforced concrete." or, as it is called in Europe, "ciment arme." This combi nation of materials is an exceptionally happy line. A concrete- of good cement and stone possesses a great resistance to compression, with but a. slight strength to oppose tensile stresses. On the! contrary, light rods or rolled sec tions of steel resist tension admirably, while buckling under compression. Prop erly arranged, there can be secured a close contact and union between the two materials, the embedding of the steel in the concrete protecting it at the same time from oxidation and from fire. Ti;e result has been the commer cial development of a large number of so-called "systems" of reinforced con crete construction, many of them bear ing such a close resemblance to each other as to demand a very minute in spection before the particular twist or bend to the wire which constitutes the difference can be detected. As a matter of fact, almost any com bination of steel rods or light bars em bedded in concrete will vastly increase the strength of the whole, upon the ten sion side, at a trifling increase in cost; and there is little eioubt that in its va rious forms reinforced concrete is des tined to be more and more extensively used in construction. The small quan tity of metal required as compared wltn ordinary steel structural work, and the facility with which a light skeleton structure can be run up and embedded in its surrounding concrete offer power ful commercial reasons for its use; while the artistic possibilities are such as to cause the method to appeal to the archi tect, since it removes many of the struc tural limitations formerly placed upon the realization of his ideas. Actually, the whole system is a modification, in the light of modern facilities, of the method cf the Roman builders, who erected many of their finest structures in Fkeleton of brick piers and ribs, the whole bein? subsequently embedded in a concrete of rubble and mortar. It has been suggested that the fallen Campa nile of Venice might be rapidly and cheaply rebuilt in this manner. Any criticism as to the use of such a sys tem in such a nlace may well be an swered by showing that it possesses far greater "sincerity" than was revealed in the rubbish-filled walls of the ruined tower. rThe Forum. Beauties of the Tariff. From the New York Evening Post. We are in a fair way to learn what is the duty under the Dingley tariff on sweetened bilgewater. An importer of sugar brought in a cargo of 47,530 bags. The sugar was soft and leaky. A good deal of it dripped Into the ship s hold, where it mingled with, sea water that had been taken on board in roujrh weather. WThen the cargo arrived here the sugar was taken out and tested by the polariscope and the duties paid. The bilgewater was sufficiently sweetish to wararnt somebody in buying it at one dollar per barrel for distiiling pur poses. The amount paid for the lot was about -4E0. Now the Dingley duty on sweetened bilgewater is reckoned according to the polariscope test. If it tests less than 56 decrees the duty is three cents per gal 1.'; if it is 56 degrees or more, the duty is doubled; it then becomes six cents per gallon. It is customary to make two tests and then take the average as the standard. One test showed 55 de grees, the other 56. The average being under 56, the duty would have been 3 cents per gallon. The appraiser in charge was not satisfied with these ex periments and ordered two additional tests. Thes? showed one-tenth of a de gree more than 56. The average of the four tests 'was now 56.025. The duty was levied at that rate and the whole sum charged against the owner was $984.25. being: about double the cost of the article that he had bought. He em ployed private chemists to try his bilge J water and they made six tests, the IryRYL'ANIO) In fairyland everything is possible. There are wonderful jewels and stores of silver and gold to reward virtue and valor. There are, too, magical herbs which heal the sorest woundg and cure the deadliest diseases. How many a woman looks back with a sigh to the childish days she spent in fairyland before she ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge and was driven out by the cold sharp sword of fact into a world of suffering and disease. Yet while there are no magical herbs in this everyday world, which cure all diseases, there is 'a cure for womanly diseases which hardly ever fails. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will in ninety-eight cases out of every hundred perfectly and permanently ft cure diseases which are peculiarly womanly. Tens of thousands of women testify to the truth of this statement. "I suffered for five years with inflammation which 'caused violent pain and often torture so bad at times that I could not be about to attend to my daily duties," writes Mrs. Julius C. Bell, Bathroad, Kingston, Ont. "Life was simply misery to me and I did not know which way to turn for relief. Had tried doctors but found they did not help me. My druggist advised me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I decided to give it a trial and I am happy to say that after the use of the first bottle I felt so much improved I decided to take another and after that a third bottle. I am to-day a well woman, I have perfect health thanks to your medicine." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regular ity, dries weakening drains, 'heals inflammation and ulcer ation, and cures female weakness. It cures headache, backache, nervousness, sleeplessness and other consequences womanly disease.

He took an appeal to the board of general appraisers and they caused three additional tests to be made. The highest of these was 52.8, and the lowest 52.6. So they reversed the de cision of the court below, and held that the substance should be admitted at three cents per gallon. .Before the refund of duty was made, however, the matter was brought to the attention of the secretary of the treas ury, anrl he resolved not to yield one farthing ri the just claims of the United States in this lot of bilgewater, but to carry the case to the United States cir cuit court.

Hunters of This Animal Place Their Lives in Peril Constantly. Far away to the northward, near unto the land of the midnight sun, lies the home of the musk ox, that most difficult of all difficult animals to shoot. Not only is he difficult to shoot, but infinite hardshii must be endured before the hardy hunter can come to the land where the musk ox- abides. The musk cx makes his home in what is known as the barren country, because of the lack of vegetable life there. He who hunts this'inimal does so in wintei, and with dog sledges. The principal thing carried on these sledges is fuel, for on the possession of it life itself in that desolate, country absolutely de pends. The country adjoining the "bar ren country" is known as the country of the "little sticks." on account of the small size of the timber with which it is covered. The musk ox hunter when he comes to the line of the "barren country" takes on bis sledges all the fuel he can, and then the pursuit of the musk ox begins. If a kill is made the dogs are at once and as quickly as possible supplied with a big meal, for in that awful and in tense cold the meat ciuickly freezes solid, and then it must be thawed to be eaten. It is this that makes fuel a sine qua non in musk ox hunting. Without meat the dogs cannot live, and meat in thut frozen land they cannot eat unless it be thawed. Without the dogs travel ing is practically impossible. When the musk ox is killed, or the pursuit of him longer is fraught with too great danger the race for the "coun try cf the little sticks" begins. Should the fuel give out before the "country of the little sticks" is reached, dc- th for dog and man is inevitable. That wished fcr land reached the haven of safety is gfiined. for t'.-e return to civilization, while still difficult, is no longer danger ous As the musk ox is not especially good feed, it seems that the man who assays a kill stakes a gool deal for a very lit tle.

Msr. 1 ULL LEASED "Win's REPOST 07 TH3 ASSOCIATED The Stnte Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or- f anization for exclusive afternoon publica ion in Topeka. The news Is received in the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, trasv through the entire day. A complete copy of the nifcht report la Uiso received. It is being suggested that Zimmerman and Vanderbilt organize a society of American Grandfathers of the Nobility. Friends of the Vinewood Park railway are pleaded to announce that they be lieve the enterprise has now safely passed the injunction stage. The Democratic party has made a narrow escape. If the anthracite strike had continued unti! election day that party might have carried the state. Between themanner of "administering justice" in Texas where a criminal la tried and executed the same day and New York where they have been trying Molineux for four years, there Is a wide difference. As winter is not a good time for strikes, perhaps there will be no more of any magnitude until next spring. In the rr.eantirne congress probably will hear from the president on the subject, anil will have time and opportunity to i ike some action toward preventing in dustrial disturbances similar to the one just brought to a close. Omaha I'.ee: The arbitrators appoint ed by the president must appreciate the necessity of practical unanimity in their report. Failure on their part to agree after thorough investigation and con ference would bo little short of calam itous to the general cause of arbitration, to say ncthins of the case immediately In hnnd. It is vital that the arbitrators Ehould enter upon their duties with a full determination to agree. The recent stringency in the money market and the measures of relief H'lrt"! by SecreTflfy Shaw prompts the Chicago Chronicle td ask: "What If the government had no !ockii-iu cash to spare, as it ought not to hive? Whence would relief, come in that case?" The answer seems easy. If the cash were not locked up it would be in the chan nels of trade and there would be no cm dl'aon demanding relief. Naturally the government feels under obligations to alleviate a distress which it has itself helped to produce. Monetary conditions show derided im provi incut, and easier rates now pre vail, says Henry Clews, owing to thi heavy liquidation of speculative ac counts during the last few weeks, and to the efforts of the treasury, especially Secretary Shaw's decision to buv honrts The prospects, not withstanding, are that money will remain firm until after the January disbursements, as funds are In active employment in the interior and will not return with any freedom until towards the close of the vear. There has been no serious stress in the money market; the demand for relief comes chiefly from those who have inconven ienced themselves by excessive specula tion. The recent stringency very large ly was the result of the overdoinrs of the last two years, which are well un derstood in Wall street, and it is far better that a natural correction should be applied in the form of higher rat-s for money than that such commitments should be allowed to remain. There has been a great deal of forced liquidation cf the wholesome soit. and more may have to come later before the conges tion prevailing in Wall strict is fully relieved and thereby the money situa tion permanently adjusted. MB. WARE'S DISCOVERY. Referring to the recent announcement of the promotion of a pension employe by Commissioner Ware, the Indianapo lis News says: One can almost forgive the impossible superlative "most uniuue" of the Dress reporter for surely it anything could be more than unique we have it here. In becoming pension commissioner Mr. Ware has evidently not lost the caustic humor th it he displayed hi many o,' his rhymes signed "Irou.jiiil!.' SaturrDy J. S. Wiggins was unknown to this country. Today everyone knows o,' him as a modest model cli rk. While many of l is fellows have been begging U,r leave of absence, or. in the :U iur-.u language of the comrr.i":on.-r. hi-c won steering statesmen up against their cruet, telling him of t:i!r neeli- gree, of their 'distinguished relative"', and of their own transcendent abilities, Wiggins, of Ccorgii, has quietly ami faiihi'ully been attending to his duty. "Patient merit" in this instance his pot passed unnoticed. Wiggins has pet hi 1'"" 11111 lne country !:nows why. He is wicn.lv (he sort of man j p. .-.lr-y, requiring la the lirst two years to carry a messar to Garcia, and fur im len-u two terms ia each.

President Rcisevelt differs from near ly or ciuito el! of his rredecessors in the jremptness and ccletity with which he acts upon ail matters with which he han i.: do. I'i c'-rtl;' this may be partially accounted for by the fact that he is not a !".wver. The character of the man Is made to stand cut in bold relief by his course in connection with the settlement of the coal strike. When the parties to the strife decided to allow him to appoint a comrmssion to arbitrate the dispute, he named the members of that body al most before the principals had got out rf Washington. Then he said to Mr. Mitchell that he would call the commis sion together when the stifij was de clared off. and he did it inside of thee hours thereafter. He did not call it to meet next year or next month or next week, but on the day following the return of the miners to work. With Mr. Roosevelt the ad ministration of public affairs is a busi ness, and is transacted just as he would transact a private matter. JATHAWKEB JOT3. Concordia is to have a prize fight. Some of the Lyon county farmers are harvesting their kaffir and cane crop by moonlight. An unpatriotic Jamestown merchant is shipping in a carload of cabbage from Wisconsin. A Solomon editor considered the wash ing of a certain mercantile firm's windows worthy of note. An Ellsworth man getting out of bed before daylight broke his leg. Moral, let your wife build the fires. It must have been a sad condition of affairs that caused a sixteen year old Newton girl to attempt suicide. Wichita will have 7.M0 voters this fall. Considering that there is no "whisky war" on this is a pretty fair registration. It's so much fun for an Ottawa man to go shopping that he occasionally stacks his wife's new cloths up in a bonfire. Farmer Brown of Jackson county who is cutting his fourth crop of alfalfa thinks he has discovered the secret of perpetual motion. Several White City homes are having a craze over hot water plants. Most hus bands are in hot water enough without artificial aid. A number of ten-year-old Wellington boys carry revolvers. It's wonderful how anxious some parents are to get rid of their children. Kisses are still being advertised at the "Arlington," in Mcl'herson, for ten cents per dozen. That surely doesn't mean din ing room girls. A "Divine Healer" was scourged at Abi lene by a mob. What a sorrowful imi tation by all parties, of a tragedy of near ly 2.000 years ago. Washburn college faculty elected to "fire" an athletic student simply because he declared the line of work he enjoyed was the rush line. The citizens of Neodesha attempted to chase leafing negroes from the corpora tion but the colored brethren appeared to have polarized feet. An Abilene Maiden's Blush apple is showing a second effort. This is remark able. These degenerate days few maidens blush the first time. Traveling men amused themselves one dull afternoon at Wellington by throw ing $30 worth of nickels, pennies and dimes to a crowd of nimble street gamins. A Lyon county citizen bought a horse at a sale. In trying to catch it for deliv ery the former owner ran the animal in a wire fence and so injured it that death ensued. Who must stand the loss? Editor Chiles of th Topeka Plalndealer contemplates sueing a couple of stren uous pastors for displaying his picture as one of the Hum Crowd. If Nick really ex pects to recover any money he must hae a robust contemplator. EDITORIAL, COMMENT. The Heal Winner. Philadelphia Inquirer. From now on thra is likelv to he much public discussion and private de bate, not without acrimony, as to which side was the victor in the late contro versy betw'een the miners and oper tors. There will be those who hold strenuously to either side of the eiuei tion, though we fancy that they will be far frcm evenly balanced in point of numbers. The truth is th it th party which won in this contest is e Ivil'ation. Civiliza tion society has gained on enormous advantage in seeing a contest fraught with danger to the public settled neith er by force nor by starvation nor by greater resources on one side or the oth er, but by the humane method of arbi tration. Here is where he gain comes in a gnir which is as great as thit se cure 1 for international disputes when th Geneva council settled the Alabama cla ims. The truth is that after es'on has cooled, after personal interest is allow ed to sink into the "ir.rral good, it is found that there is scarcely a human dispute in the world that cannot safely he left to the arbitration of dlintere't cel parties. All civilisation is based on that principle and without it there could be no such condition of society as ex ists today. Ther was a time when the patriarch ruled Ms tribe cr his nr-Hon without hindrance.

These have given way to the rule of the peo ple, by the iicotilo snH for the people, which, in the words of Abraham Lin coln, we trust, is never to "perish from the earth." Better Farm Lifo. Indianapolis News: No phase of life in the wonderfully developing life of this country exceeds in importance and interest the life of the farmer, which still and for genera tions must engage the attention of the great mass of our people: and no other phase of life shows a greater intelli gence and a quicker realization of op portunity. Aside from all of the Im proved machinery which still contiues to improve, and the use that is being mde of th niral mail delivery, the j telephone and the tro'.ley car, there is I e vident a elecper realization of posst hiUties in ihe eftort t- make intelligent I we cf nil c f the rnary ways to better life and enl mot effort. The educated farmer is inmiij? to be as prominent a fir in e ns the educate 1 man in any walk i of life. The same deinand for intelligent work, the kind that makes of a man "educated from the top down, rather than firm th hfitlnm nn i felt in j wot t e-f flrmini- and if- i heinir met A sti iking illustration of it is a class of more than fifty girls at the Minne apolis College of Agriculture that this hive 1 iken up the stu iy of Fcien ti'ie f'-! mini,'. This college is ten years oil. but it has only recently been ad mitting pi' Is. The course they take in- ,de, h;! nv. ohemietrv nhvsics and some teel' Mcal work, but the girls are teusht crokiig. laundering enl sewing, where the boys are taught blicltsmith ing and veterinary science. Generally the girls nre directed more than the boys to household art. home ect lomy and domestic science. Both are taught to plan farm buildings, and to lay out. ---rounds. Attention is giver to the. fur nirhirg of houses, to literature, music: and social culture, with the idea "of making the farm home the most attrac- tive spot on earth." What the result of this will be, must be left to the fu ture, but the experiment Is watched with the keenest interest by educators. The confessed difficu.ty in the past of keeping the pons tif farmers at home it is felt will in a way be met by train ing farmers' gills to an intelligent in terest in and knowledge of farm life, together with a knowledge of ways and means to make that life more attractive and profitable In every state. Why Not Develop the Facte P Washington Post: As we understand it the question at is sue in the Pennsylvania coal strike is not the perpetuation or extermination ef the miners' union. Neither the labor leaders nor the mine operators, so far fs we have heard, set up cny such claim. The operators p liege that they neither know nor care whether th"ir employes be long to a union, that they have never made the slightest effort to exert an in fluence in that respect. They snsiRt that the-y stand only for the right of any nnd every man to "work without hindrance or molestation. On the other hand, Mr. Mitcheil has, time and time again, repudiated the idea that the union miners would prevent a non-union man from earning a livelihood. He denies with indignation that any such interference has been made in the anthracite region, and attributes the disorder which has prevailed there during the past four or five months to the importation of deputies,' guards, etc., most of whom he intimates are well known criminals. Assuming, therefore, that we have heard the truth from both sides, it follows ns a matter of course that there can be no question of the integrity of the labor or ganization. The operators solemnly de clare that they would as soon employ a union man as anybody else. Mr. Mitchell with his nand upon his heart proclaims the willingness ot the union to have out siders exercise their constitutional rig:t to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi ness. It remains, then, only to ascertain just what the trouble is. if men are fre-? to sro to work in the mines and do not avail themselves of the opportunity, the inference is inevitable the operators do not offer terms and conditions upon which self-respecting men are willing to proceed. The authorities, state and national, should have no trouble in satisfying themselves upon these points. After all, it is a mere e;ue:Uion of facts. SHALL IT BE SOLD. County Commissioners to Submit Court House .tfroposition. The question of selling the old court house, at the corner of Kansas avenue and Fourth street, will be submitted at the coming election. The county commissioners believe that the old court house should sell for about $10. COO and if the proposition carries Jud-ie Hazen will appoint the appraisers who will fix the price. The purpose of the com missioners Is to sell the old court house and use the money to take up state bonds and save the county Interest. The Montgomery Under Orders. Washington, Oct. 22.

The Independents held a meeting at Rochester school house in Soldier town ship last night. The speakers were F. H. Foster, Oscar Swayze, L. A. Steb bins and H. G. Larimer. S. F. Joy pre sided. Mr. Swayze said in part: "I acknowledge it is to my shame that I have helped some scouacirels into of fice through my ballot, because they were on the Republican ticket. I owe no political debt now, and what I once owed I have paid thrice over with heap ing measure. I shall open yr new set of bcoks; my conscience will be an active pai tner in my political business from this on, and I propose to let my con science have a more general supervision and believe I will profit by the change. It will at least be some satisfaction to know that I will have no excuses to make to myself." "it has been a matter of pride with me to be a stickler for party unity and party harmony. But I want to say to you that party harmony can never be gained by such methods. "It has been said and will be said, 'Oh, Swayze is sore because he was defeated in liiul; if he had gotten the nomination then he would- never have kicked.' I'll admit that I am sore; but my warning to the members of the committee before the primaries were called in June, 1901, my objections to making a campaign against the biennial election law, my consistent and vigorous opposition to the filing of bogus certificates has prov en that I was not altogether unmindful of what has now become a universal protest against gag rule. "With no claims of being a saint, with no claims to being' a prohibitionist, or anything else that I am not, I still claim to be .a Republican. My efforts in the past have been to keep the grand old party at the front, and I have voted for some pretty yellow men on my tick et, and have never scratched a name, but if the Lord spares me until Novem ber 4, 1002. I will break my record on behalf of a better P.epublieanism. and with the full conscience that I am doing my party a service." At Mulligan's school house in the east end of Tecumseh township there was a largely attended meeting, at which the speakers were D. H. Branaman, Urian Carle and Frank H. Stahl. Master Harold Parr sang his campaign songs with the usual great demonstration of approval, and war, recalled so many times that he was filially compelled to decline to further respond to an encoie, but he came forward and made a speech which made a great hit with the audi ence, which was as follows: "Mr. Chair man, ladies and gentlemen: I never tried to make a political speech liefore. but I think I can make one as good as Pert Lucas. All I want to say tonight is this, just vote for Stahl and Stebhins. 1 thank you for your attention. Good evening." D. H. Branaman, who was the prin cipal snsoker, said in part: "Many Republicans supported Galen Nichols two years ago, because he ex pressly promised them that if elected he would enforce the law to the best of bis ability. They had their misgivings as tfi vbtt'-.?!r he. would do it, but they deemed it only fair to give hirti a chance. W'Mle President McKinley carried this county by something like 2.S0O majority, Mr. Nichols only had about COO majority, which, shows conclusively that the sus picion rf hundreds of Republicans that Mi'. Nichols would not enforce the law was so strrng that they refused to sup port hi-T". -,Jii3 record cj two years in cftice shows .that those.. .who suspected that he would not enforce the law were covrsei. In a conversation with a memher of th11 pi lice torce recently he told me that no man could stay on the police force in this city 24 hours who would in any niann-T interfere with the present wide open policy of this administration, and that the. 'lead ing joirCsts and gamblers of this cily had repeatedly boasted to him I hat they are now in the raddie and running the af fairs of this city and county and that they propose to continue to do it, l.y electing men to office vlvi will do their bidding. He fuither told me that tlv.'3e same men were constantly going to the various members of the police force and impress ing upon (hem the fact th.'lt tliey are in power, and that if tlicy (the policemen in any way interfere with their Innriess they win have them removed from office immediately."

School Clossd Temporarily on Ac count of Diphtheria- Polk school is clcsed today, and three men from the sanitary department of the city are fumigating the building. As a measure of safety it was docicie.l to fumigate the whole building, although it was only in one mom that Benjamin Frank Reed, of 1700 Holies avenue, at tended. The announcement of the death of this boy from dipl tneria was recorded in Tuesday's State Journal.. Benjamin Reed was taken out of Polk school en Monday. October 13, and so did not attend for a week prior to his dc-.th. Earl Bedwell. Harrison Pana and Charles Buchanan, three boys who are neighbors of the Reed boy, talked to the boy through the window the? day before hJs death, and at the order of the prin cipal of Polk school were reriuired to rbtnin certificates from tne board of health for readmission to the school. An investigation was made, and it was de tci mined that there was no probability that they had contracted the disease, and the certificates were issued this mornin-r. NOW HAVE W ATE It. Break in North To-eka Main Re paired Temporarily. At midnight last night the water m?iin leading to North Topeka burst on the brids-e, and until 4:?0 this mornir, the Noith side was wltovrt fire protection except such as was afforded by the prompt action of Chief '.Vi'maifi in sending to tie North Topeka depart ment the old sterner wbfV; in an em ergency can pump water out of the cis terns on Kansas avenue. No one knows what caused the main to burst, but it !s suprosed that it was weakened by the break when the street car bridge went out last spring. T'le break occurred at about the same place. This morning the break was leaking some, and it was evident that further repair would be necessary. Chief Wil marth stated, however, th".t h- would retain the steamer on North side until the break was finally repaired. BIG TYPE TO BE USED. Fusionists Have Another Grievance on Election Account. The fusionists are strongly objecting to the recent ruling of the attorney gen eral's departmert that nil the names of candidates on the official ballot must be: printed in brev:er capital type. This ruling wa3 made by Assistant Attorney General Clayton recently and Secretnry of State Clark has been sending ofet in structions to the countv clerks to that effect. In eome counties the tickets had already been set up in small pica type, the same as heretofore, and one Topeka house had sold a lare number of ster eotypes on which the names were in small pica. Secretaries McCrum and Curran. of the fusion committees, called at the at torney general's office today to see if the ruling was absolute. "Our people believe that it was made simply to mix up the fusion voters.", they told Assistant Attorney General West. "The words 'No Nomination,' will be printed in bevier type and if the names ot candidates are printed in the same type it will mix up the voters so that they may accidenally vote for a 'No Nomination;' as there will be no distinguishing marks between that and the names of candidates." Judge West told them that the ruling had been made because the law plainly specified that the words, "No Nomina tion, should go in brevier, and that it was evidently meant that the ballot should be uniform, as the names of can didates also were printed in brevier on the sample ballot that was made a part of the law. He said, however, that he did not think any court would hold Ji ballot invalidated if the wrong size of type should be used, but It would avoid any controversy and danger in the mat ter if brevier is used. HORN DEN IES IT ALL. Street Foreman Replies to Charges Against Department. To the Editor of the State Journal. I desire to state here in answer to the article which appeared in the State Journal last evening concerning charge3 that Mr. Griggs and myself have been doing crooked business in the street de partment; that it is unnecessary to make a denial to such ridiculous and malicious statements made by men who are not only falsifiers in this matter but in every day affairs. There was no grounds for any such statements being made and we stand ready at any and all times to be thoroughly investigated, i talked with Mr. C. V. Wolff and he stated that he had heard some state ments reflecting on us and did investi gate and found that the statements were not true. There were a few men put on the force who believed so long as they were on the city nav roll they were all right whether they worked or not and did not care to do their share of the work at all times and I made it a point to see that they either worked or got out and to this I attribute the cause of these statements being in cir culation. Personally I care not what such classes think or say and it is only to ask all thor e who are interested in the welfare of the city and our depart ment to make an investigation of all work clone under existing circumstan ces. I believe there is not a man who has worked for the city (except the dead beats) will say but what that every one of these charges are positively untrue and maliciously made and certainly not worth the while discussing and no man who is comnetent to do the work who has been willin? to do his share has had any cause for removal except in the regular way and I shall attend to my own affairs and cordially invite those who have been Interested in mak ing these false statements that they at tend to theirs or 1 may be compelled to assist them in doing so.

Sumner school, at Fourth and West ern, is just now experiencing a glow of interest in the matter of decoration. The building is one whose natural beauty of finish lends itself easily to further lcii,.hps ef art 1 ry tha Unci rlrtnot3 nnd bric-a-biac. anil both teachers and pu- pils are enthusiastic over the pi feasant task of decorating their special rooms. Several of the teachers have begun their collection by a generous draft on their private purse, and already have some excellent art work on the walls. Their efforts have been supplemented by the generosity of several local dealers. From the Kellam Rook company came a piece of statuary, "Winged Victory;" Hall Stationery company, a beautiful water color: j. L. Van Houten, two large en gravings; Judge George A. Huron, set of six large picture maps; Hughes Fur niture company, stand; Crosby Bros., pedestal for jardiniere; Farnsworth Ashby. jardiniere. A table in the lower hall is to be the special care of each room in turn, the bric-a-brac and decorations being brought from the homes of the pupils and receiving new decoration each week. The splendid showing made by" the pupils in park decoration the past sea S!,n. and which elicited many expres sions of wonder at the excellent results attained, will be more than duplicated next season. The choicest of the plants are being taken up and will serve to brighten the rooms dui ing the winter, when they will agciin be transferred to the narking. Should any friend of the school desire to help in the go.-d work of decoration by donating articles, word sent to the building will receive prompt and appre ciative attention. TOPEKA'S AGAIN WON.

The Desperate Struggle of a Father and Son in Laka Michigan. Tangled in a his; fishing seine after the eappizinj,' of their boat one mile from shore, Charles I?rek and his son, George Bt ck, two EvanEton fire men, Ftrut;t;Ied fur their lives frr two hours yesterday morn ing'in Lake Michigan. Not until the im periled m" n had cut the net, which was $i) feet long, in two, were thry able to extricate themselves. Then, thoroughly exhnupt-jd with their efforts to keep afloat while they were escaping- from the death trap, they battled again with the waves, and. by aiding one another, swam to the bench in safety. The Hecks, who live at 2110 Maple ave nue, K vans ton, had gone out early in the morning to take in the st ine, which they had tet off Grosse Point lighlhou.se. They were engaged in hauling in the net ful of tish when a squall aoe. Their boat a (lat-bottomed scow, swung into the trough of the sea and tilled with water. While they were bailing out the water with their hats che scow capsized, throw ing both its occupants into the lake. Im mediately the arms and legs of the men Irceame entangled in the ptine and render ed them powerless to swim. Divesting themselves of their rubber eot and boots, the father and son, with a fishing knife, began cutting the cords from their hmds and ankles. "When onee they had cut themselves loose and started to swim toward shore they agnin beci-ne entangled in the big not. The son's strength began to give ovt nftr a half hour's struggle, and the double burden of heloing the bov to keep afloat and free ing both himself and hi' ftn from the impending meshe fell to the father. The latter's endurance had nearlv givn out when he succeeded in separat ng the last strands of the seine. Both fishermen WPre so prostrated when they reached shore that they had to be assiud to their home. Chicago Inter Ocean. Sign Union Scale. Higginsvllle, Mo.. Get. V.. The J.

APOSTLES OF EATING LESS Food Faddists Have Had a Greai Year for Their Theories It has been a fine year for the increas ing thousands who have fads about their food. The high prices of almost everything in the market have given the opportunity. The advocates of no breakfast, of meat once a day, of no meat at all, of certain kinds of vege tables, of no kinds of vegetables, of nuts only, of the absolute avoidance of nuts, of raw fruit, of fruit only when cooked, of neither coffee nor tea nor sassafra:-, and of all the other things, or of any part of things, or of no things at all. have come forth, not singly, but in bat talions, and have told us how to liva to be a hundred if we don't die. It would be gross ingratitude not to be thankful to these advisers. They give their time for the benefit of others. They are sad to think of ignorant thous ands going to early graves on full stom achs. Tliey raise their warning voices against satiety. People should stop eat ing before they get enough. The old sayirg about losing what is left on the plates finds no echo in their doctrines. Kating for the sake of eatinT is sin. Eating all ihe things that are offered is wickedness. So they find something bad in eery number of the bill of fare- from typhedd fever in raw oysters to dyspepsia and vain regrets in pie. They have a right to their convictions. A man down in Virginia went without food for thirty days this year. Hut like as not they doubled the price of his board for the next month. People use the starvation plan for many ailments. Many of them go to health resorts and pay ?R0 to the hotel doctor, who strikes off from the bill of fare all the rood thirgs they would like to eat. Tlw hi-tels get their savings, the doctor gets his big fees and they get hungry. But most f the faddists have their imafjina tions in their culinary departments, and it is not reasonable of them to e::jieot the robust members of society to follow their examples. It may be wrong, but the average American wants bresl'.fast. It may hurt him, but he will have meat. He may be jeopardizing his very soui, but he likes to play with the menu c!l the way from soup to satisfaction. And somehow it agrees with him. Ixiok at the other nations. We don't know of any that beat him when the food or the fuel within him wrrks its way to re sults in the progress and civilization ot mankind. Saturday Evening Post. DREAD TRACHOMA. Efforts Being Made to Bar the Eye Disease from This Country. According to an official of the Immi gration bureau on Kllii Island, it would be prssible for trachoma, the conti pious disease of the eye, which Dr. Ld erle said on Wednesday was prevalent in the schools, readily to be brought into the country by immigrants, as Dr. Led cile suggested. The immigration bu reau has adopted the course of deport ing every case of the disease discovered. The steamship companies have in some oases objected to this procedure, on the ground that it was not trachoma, but a harmless granulation of the eyelids, from which the immigrants were suf fering. When a case of trnch-una I discover ed on aboard ship it is not always din--ncsed as such. Whether it Is that dis ease or not, there is no pains taken tr isolate the afflicted immigrant from the e thers. An immigrant may have been infected just before landing and be passed by the immigration officials be cause they e:o not know of the infet'tio' and have no means of learning of it Tho immigrant lands and the disease appears. It is then too late. Many of the children in the public schools are the children of aliens and live in the districts where these immigrants go alter they have landed. It is easy to S-w.VM!5 I,"SPible for tnem f 11 victims to the disease. This difference of opinion also has a bearing on the decisions of those who examine the immigrants before thev sail The number-of cast reaching this pert at the ptesert time is less than t Sri0ml"iSSr-iner WnUnn hopes it means that his strictness has had an effect on the acceptance of immigrant on the other side New- York THtfune Fort Hiley Targat Practice bavR Kn-J!K .-rTf Sixteen,-, l :Jin Uustn- nrtillery eorpOwhieh ,r rived here on Saturdnv. havinr rn-.d th, march overland fre-n F ri il in feven and a half dnvi V- '?.VC"nw',rtl

While there were thousand:; of men who were able to !ik tin be sin earning their daily bread today, there ware hundreds who were disappoint ed whin they applied to the superintend ents ef the collie riep where they were for merly employed. These were principally steam mer., etiKineers. firemen and pump nuiili rs who struek crh June 2 for an eiuht-h.our day and alst to help the min ers win their battle. These men wanted thi ir old places hack but in many instance's the company officials refused to elischarge those who stood by them during the strike. Tie: re were many in the Wyom ing valley, however, who were fortunate inouKr. ta find employment. The company officalx maintain that they will not dis criminate against union or p.on-'.vnion men and that work will be given all when there are vacancies. I-Hiring the strike the companies were conipt Urd to employ many incompetent men to help keep the mines free from wa ter or from "squeezing:" as a result of the lack of proper timbering. The strik rs feel that the majority of these workmen will gradually be ellsmiss d and the more e-ompetent men enga&oel. A mine worker who came into the union he aduuarters from South Wilkesbarre to day said: "The superintendents are turning down a gootl many men on the ground that they are not needed. This is only a 'bluff and they will be Kind to get our men in a day or two. The workmen they have are in most cases gre'en and won't Vie federated about the collieries when the miners begin working full time to catch up with the demunel for coal. The companies will not take the risk of having men killed or mines wrecked through the mistake of seime new men." Although the strike is over, the path of the non-union vorkmen is still a thorny one. They are disliked by the unionists and it is not expected the relatiems be tween them will be improved when they get into the mines together. Reports were reeciveid here' teiday that scores of the non-union men have given up their posi tions ami are leaving the region. President JVlitehcll teiday began the work of pn ptring the miners' side of the case far presentation to the arbitration com mission. He will be the leading represen tative eif the workmen before the tribunal, ami wiil gather aronnel him such experts in anthracite mining as will be necessary to properly prese-nt his case to the com mission, lie said today he did not knew when lie would make his first appearance before the commission.

New York, Oct. 2. Glasgow, ever alert in taking up the progressive is sues of municipal government, is lead ing the way toward a. new svstem of taxation of land values in conformity with the American pratice, cables the London correspondent of the Tribune. The re-formers of that town have advo cated lor a long period a Fpecial assess ment plan by which a portion of the ex pense of local improvement can be charged against the property directly benefited. This principle, in common use in America, is unknown in Kngland and London progressives also have fa vored a betterment in the present prin ciple and have urged the necessity for taxing ground rents and unoccupied land. An imuortant conference summoned by the corporation of Glasgow has been held to consider a recommendation to parliament for subjecting the taxation eif land values now exempt. A com mittee was appointed for taking direc tion of the movement. The proposed changes are the natural sequel to the steady increase in the ex pense of local government which has fallen exclusively on the tenants, un built areas not beinff rated at all, and the improvements being ordinary out of ti e ordinary rates based upon rental values.

c TOPEKA STATE JOTTRNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 2. 1902- TO READ OR NOT. That Is Question Now Fp De fore Judge llazen. Use of Bible in School Is the Is ue. J. B. BILLARD'S FIGHT. Son riiilip Expelled Because of Ileligious Exercises. The Boy Itefused to Participate in Them. The mandamus suit broug-ht by J. B. Billard against the board of education to compel the board to resore his son. Philip Billard to an unconditional Scholarship in Quincy school was begun Tuesday afternoon before Judge Hazen In the district court. The basis of the suit is whether the board of education has the right to com pel the pulpils in the public schools to take part in religious exercises at the opening of the schools, such exerciser consisting: of reading from the Bible, repeating the Lord's prayer and singing religious songs. Mr. Billard objects to Buch a rule and maintains that the board has no right-to compel the pupils to take jiart in any form of religious exercises. The board claims the right to make any and all studies obligatory and claims the same right regarding the use of the .Bible an'! religious sonirs. The suit is the outgrowth of the ac tion taken by the board of education December 2. KOI. At that meeting Dr. J. T. McFarland appeared belore the board as the representative of the Min isterial Union and read a petition from the Union asking that the board of ed ucation make religious exercises at the opening of school compulsory and also that the uupils be compelled to take part In them. The petition was quite lengthy. When it had been r.-i: 1 Dr. McFarland's attention was called io the fact that the custom was for the city schools to be opened each day with re ligious exercises. The Union, however, wished the board to ma'Jt it obligatory. Some objections were muTe to the word "obligatory" but the petition was final ly received and the resolution passed making religious exercises obligatory. On December 6 a circular letter was Issued by Superintendent Davidson making the religious exercises obliga tory. This was followed by another cir cular on December 8 more fully explain ing the order. It was stated in the let ter that anyone objecting to taking part in the exercises could come to the schools alter the religious exercises. On January 9 Philip Billard was expelled from the Quincy street school in North Topeka by Principal V. H. Wright be cause he pursued nis studies during the religious exercises and refused to take part. The board then haggled as to whether the boy had been expelled or suspended. J. B. Billard. the father, made a written demand that his son be reinstated and to offset that J. W. Priddy offered a resolution at the next meeting sustaining Principal Wright. The resolution was passed by the board. Then Mr. Billard brought the mandamus action. Ills attorneys are N. H. Arnold, David Overmyer and G. C. Clemens. The ..rttorneys for the board of education tr? Gieed, Ware Gleed. The case was stated by the attorneys ant ,the minjit.es of tiie board meetings were introduced in evi dence. The minutes were so meager, how ever, that the report of the meerlng print ed in the State Journal of December 3 was offered and accepted by the court as pait of the testimony. The first question raised by Mr. Gleed was as to the nature of the exercises. "What time did the school open?" asked Judge Hazen. "At nine o'clock," replied Mr. Gleed. "Were the exercise? a part of the school day?" asked the court. On this point the lawyers differed. "There is nothing in the pleadings to show," said Mr. Gleed. "They most certainly were," said Mr. Overmyer. Mr. Clemens offered in evidence the pe tition of the Ministerial Union present! d to the board. Mr. Gleed objected to it. "Do you intend to show In- the petition from the Ministerial Union that the board acted on it?" asVrel Judre Hazen. "Yes," replied Mr. Overmyer. "Then this petition may throw light on the charai t r of the exercises." said Jm!i;p TIazen. and the petition was admittd air,' read. It stated clearly that the reading of the Bible was wanted by the nrnistei-s for its moral and religious inliuenee ar.d roi for its literary v:ihift. Mr. Billarel was placed on the stand and testified that he objected to his son tak ing part in the religious exercise.-. He tes tified that he was a tax pnyir aril entitled to the benefits of the schools. Philip I'ii lard testifud that he attended school while religious exercises were in prosreFs. lie produced the gospe 1 hymn book that war, used and stated that the morning he was ffospended th- teacher, Miss Bertha Brown. read the tw nty-tllir 1 Fsalm. Mis; iirown testified that the xereises were fur 1 h" purpose of quit tin'-j the children when they cirp.e in from tbe nlny ground. Super intendent Davidson testified to the ord rs Issued to ihe tenchers. The rase was con tinued until Wf iliit sday morning. The case was continued this morning by Judge Hazen nn account of the death of the father of Uugene F. Ware, Mr. AV are's law firm being in the case. MILES WAS TOUCHED.

After be ing tried in legal form and procedure for criminal assault and murder and being sentenced to death by hanging, Jim Wesiey and Roddick Barton, ne groes, were taken from the authorities of this city and lynched ir the publie square by an infuriated mob. The district judge yesterday asked the governor fejr militia to accompany the negroes here from the jail at Houston, where they were sale. At the request of a large number of citizens of Iletnp steael, who, it is said, signed a written promise to aid the authorities in pie venting any mob act. Judge Thompson countermanded his request and the trooys did not accompany the neens. larton was first tried. He pleaded guilty to criminal cssiult. and then to the murder of Mrs. Susan Dewis, ased 63. on Sunday, October 12. The jury, on which were several negroes, prcip.ptiy returned a verdict imposing the death penalty. Wesiey was then put on trial. He pleaded guilty to assault and then to the murder charge. While his trial was proceeding a mob broke into the court room ami attempt ed to take him, it having been ascer tained that the sheriff hael asked for t: oeips. The mob was dispersed, how ever, and the trial proceeded, the state putting through its fstimoay hurriedly in ce)rroboration of the plea of guilty. In this case, too. tho jury imposed" the death penalty. The officers of the court sat about the room at the conclusion of the trial awaiting the coming of the militia, wti'-ii thee was a sudden move ment on tic part of several men in the room: the she; iff w;'s ovei-pnwrtd. and Wesley was taken by the mob and hur ried away. Another portion of the mob, while this was going on, attacked the jail, and the prisoner was surrendered to them without a struggle. The two prisoners were hustled to the public square and there executed by hanging. Neither ef th:n had been sentenceel, al though Distiiet Judge Thompson had positively ref.iseii. to permit theni to waive the thirty days of grace allowed them by law. The suggestion to burn the negroes met with small favor. It was the gen eral desire that they die quickly. They were hanged to the arm of a telephone pole, where only last month another murderer had been hanged by a mob. Sheriff I.iscomb was badly injured in the back by the rough treatment of the mob. During the lirst rush a shot was accidentally fired and Sheriff Sparks of Lee county was wounded in the stom ach, though not seriefusly. The govei nor was informed of the lynching. NO RAIN I Oil SIX MONTHS. Crops Are a Total Failure in Parts of New Mexico. Washington, Oct. 22. The worst drouth in the history of northern New exieo prevailed during the six months ending last July, says the annual report of the ayrent at the .Tienrilla Aparh1 IndUm agency, New Mexico. The crops for are a total failure. The Indians dit un der thr rock? for enough water to pienh their thirst and drove thr-ir stoclt f o -liys before finding water for them. Many horses, cattle, shfxp and goats, according ivt the asrent, died of hunger and thirst. "The lnd:ans," he .says. "have heen drinking' water thnt wovrd kill an or dinary man. In spite of their self -help, there la not enough income to keep the Indians from want." The rerofdy advocated by the report Is t!i nnle of the tirrber. which, it is stated, will soon ennb!t them to support th- n selves if the proceeds were applied to pur chase of sheep and cattle.- If a remedy no applied, thr report suggests, it is likely that the Jicailla Apaches always will fce. a burden to the government. INDIAN MISSIONS. Occupy Attention of the American Association Delegates. New London, Conn.. Oct. 22. Reports and addresses on missions occupied the attention of the delegates at this morn ing's session of the convention of the American Missionary association. In ;n address on Indian and Alaskan missions. Iiev. Dwight M. Pratt, D. D., of Cincinnati, affirmed that the Indian can never be redeemed and uplifted, and

liiteu ror tne auties ana lesponsiomiies of citizenship by the civil government. The vast sums expended by the gov ernment for this purpose in the last thirty years, he said, in effect had ac complished but little. The Indian to day is as much a ward of the nation as he was a generation ago. If the In dian is ever to be educated to citizen ship and Christian manhood, if he is ever to be emancipated from the nur sery and from .his swmlfilfng clothes and made an independent and construc tive factor in our national life.- it" must be through just such vital and ef fective w ork as is done by this associa tion. Kev. H. A. Bridgman, of Massachus etts, spcike on missions in Porto J-iico. He said that modern missionary enter prise and American Christianity were on trial in that island. Its governors, he averred, come home and paint in rose ate colors the progress of American ideas, the eagerness of t'r.e "people or sc It -governmerit and their growing -efficiency therein. But, he continued, osk a Christian leader like Dr. C. J. P.yder, who hws soert weeks investigating moral ermciiions not only in the sea ports, but in the mountain districts, to tt 11 you what he has seen and heard and the moral status ol the people will set m apoalling. Centuries of misrule, the exactions of an eprressive and of ten immoral ecclesiastical system, the baneful influences of a soft tropical cli p's te have produced a people inert, childish, itrnorant and impure. Ameri can Christianity has a big task before it ar.d one demanding the generous out lay of mom y and not less generous of fering of consecrated personality. Chir-ep.e missions were considered in a report and address by Kev. Harlan P. Beach, D. I., of New Jersey, and a view tf educational work in the south was presented by Kev. Edward H.

The market steadied up after the first half hour's tradlnsr and ail offerings from that time cn were easily absorbed. Cash situation strong and receipts small. There is a growing belief amoni the best class of traders that wheat is low enough for investment purchases and this class of buving is ftrowing. It is now conceded that the world has raised a crop of low grade wheat and good grades are in ex cellent demand everywhere, as ir as this country is concerned we have no good wheat to spare for expoj-t, either in the southwest or northwest. Pacific coast stocks are about depleted and will not be pressing on the market, as was the case last year. The situation Is rapidly turn ing stronger and a good bull market from around these prices may be counted upon. Cars today. 87, and 80 expected tomorrow. CORN Corn was weak during the early part of the session, showing a loss of IV20 for the December option at one time. A fair recovery resulted from lew prices, but the market is still in a groggy condi tion. Receipts are increasing and ca.sn situation not so strong.

"On the Suwance River." the melo drama presented at the Crawford last night, cannot lay any special claim to lame as a brilliant play, but it is graced with an exceedingly clever company. Stella Mayhew. who takes th? feature part, that of "Act T indy," is a credit to the profession, although it is a shame to rover a nretty face with mulatto whitewash. Some rood music was a feature of the show. It was contributed by the real dark;' ouartette. Miss Mayhew, Katherine Miller and Fred Truesdale. The production had plenty of ood scenery, srd the nlavers were artists in the? mr-Voep line. The play itself 13 not very sreod. Geographically it is too bad. At one stage of the game some part' who are pursued take to the "Kverrlades," "over iOO miles from the Suwanee, but the faithful old color ed lady brings them a lunch from home erch day. A fair sied audience was well nieased -with the performance, which -was given at moderate prices and was well worth the money. Piece Curtain Goods.

Miss Dora Meek has finally regained consciousness, and so nls a remarkable case of hysteria. The girl went to sleep at 3 p. m. on Sim day. September 28, and was not roused out of what appeared to be a sound slumber until Wednesday, October 8. Then for cays her mind seemed to be in the balance as to whether to return to its normal condition or not. During the entire time of her sleep her pulse and respiration were normal. The pupils of her eyes retained their normal condition. What puzzled the physicians was h'-r wonderful power of resistance to the rem edies that usually brought such cases to an end. Ammonia fumes, ice applied to her back. Err art slappinsrs. all were en dured without flinching. Not once did she give signs of knowing what was being done, yet later developments show that she was largely conscious of what went on about her. As she tells it now she was conscious much of the ti-ne, but when everything was quiet her mind would wander. AH of the time she was helpless and unable to make a sign. During ner sleep she had many wonder ful dreams. The history of the case goes back sev eral years. She had an aunt, according 10 reports, who was the victim of a long sleep and never fully recovered her men tal strength. The girl's father had an at tack of yellow fever in his soldier days and his nerves have never recovered en tirely. Two years ago the girl quarreled with her sweetheart. The next morning she was found in a wood, lying by a log. al most frozen, and in a rleep similar to the recent one. Drs. Laswell of Alma and Murnn of Patoka treated her and' brought her out after almost a week. This laft time she Quarreled with her sweetheart on the Saturday before she went to sleep. Six are Drowned.

Conducted by Llda Ames Willis, Mar queue building, Chicago, to whom all inquiries should be addressed. All rights reserved by Banning Co., Chicago. Bouquet Garni. Pome culinary terms, while perfectly Intelligible to tne professional cook, arc rot clearly understood by the less ex perienced, and when the latter encoun ters them in an untried class of dishes, they are apt to discourage them and de ter them from trying the ieeipes, which are oiten very simple and excellent. We are frequently asked to explain the meaning of "bouquet garni" anil such like term's which confront the inex perienced cook. Bouquet garni is ft term very fre quently used in both English and French co-cking recipes, as it expresses in two words what would otherwise re quire many lines to explain. To define it, in a general way it means in fact a bunch of savory herbs put into a soup, stew or sauce in order to give a piquant flavor. It is taken out of the liquor m which it has been looked before the Eoup or sauce is finished and sent to the table. It is tied up in a little bag or piece of thin muslin, which is tied se curely round the top with a piece of twine or tape. For convenience, the string should be long enough for the end to fall over the edge of the boiler or saucepan, so that it can be taken out without trouble or disturbing other con tents of the pot or saucepan. In using a bouquet garni, judgment and discretion must be exercised in suit ing the tastes of persons for whom the food fs being prepared and also in order to allow variety if these dishes are fre quently served. Some ingredients should be emitted and others introduced, and the quantity of stock or gravy to be flavored must be also considered. The simplest "bouquet garni" consist;". FOOD OF THE CANARY ISLANDERS. The Canary Islanders are among the most healthy people in the world. Tlu-y live on oho, which consists of wheat and corn parched or dextrmized in an iron kettle over a fire, then ground and eaten mixed with water. Attention was firt called to this food by an eminent physi cian visiting the Canary I.shmds, who was cured of chronic dyspepsia by eating gofio. A prominent Chicago physician lived on goho for many years, which he obtained Irotn the Hattle Creek Sanitarium, where It was formerly used in the tn-aiment of various digestive disorders. By an im portant discovery a great improvement was made in the preparation, which is now known as Toasted Wheat Flakes, sweetened with Malt Honey, crisp and delicately sweet, its use cures indigestion and chronic constipation. 7am A wise old man told his sons that as long as they kept together like a bun dle of fagots they could not be broken, although each one separately could not withstand much strain. illustrates the point as a food. Any single prop erty of the wheat will not produce a strong, health ful body. Several will not do it. All do. Chemistry shows that each property of the wheat has an exact counterpart in the body and that the reverse is also true. If we deplete the wheat, as is done in millingr white flour, we reduce the nourishing powers. Eat Shredded Wheat Biscuit made of the wholf wheat and nourish the whole body. ayrs.

Y. 3 7fi I tw -1 ff.Y r.-w -i u r i i fSClMI magician of one ounce of green parsley, a sprig of thyme, a sprig of marjoram, the same quantity cf rosemary, one medium sized onion with three whole cloves stuck in it, a long pepper or a few peppercorns, a dried capsicum or two, a small piece cf mace and a quarter of a lemon. Another ratber more difficult, perhaps, to obtain except in large city markets is as follows: Lemon thyme, sweet basil, mint, dill, rosemary, bruised coreander seeds, carraway seeds, cloves, a few chives or eschalots, or a smail clove or garlic, half a lemon and some peppers. Housewives who have a small plot of ground may have a kitchen garden wr.ere they may cultivate all the savory herbs required for their own use and make quite a neat little sum from the sale of their surplus stock to their less fortunate neighbors. Very good "bouquet garni" for stews or hashes consists of one ounce of lemon peel, one ounce sweet basil, two ounces each of parsley, sweet marjoram and thyme, dried, pounded and mixed together and kept in a closed glass jar, ready for use at any time and in any quantity. The bouquet garni sold in our mar kets and known as "pot herbs" usually consists of a sprig of parsley, a small green onion, in summer, a sprig of thyme, slice of carrot and a rather un savory looking piece of celery. "Bouquet garni" is also known as a "fagot of herbs." Herbs are best when they can be used fresh, as then only can their full, rich flavor be obtained. But when they can not be had in this way will answer nice ly when dried. Gather when they begin to bloom, wash and tie in bunches; cover with netting or very thin cheesecloth and hang them up, with leaves downward to diy. When perfectly dry pick off the leaves and put them in small glass jars, cork tightly and label each kind if you wish to keep them separate and when mixed it is best to take the same pre caution, as you may not remember the combination. KITCHEN BOUQUET. This is a convenient preparation to have in the pantry for flavoring and en riching sauces, stews, etc. Take ore onion, one carrot, one celery root, one sweet potato, one parsnip, one red pepper, one shallot and from one to fc-ur clove garlics, according to taste. Remove the seeds from the pepper, peel the carrot, parsnip, onion and potato and chop all the vegetables very fine. Add three large bay leaves, quarter of a teaspoonful each of cloves, mace, cin namon and allspice. Mix all together and season with salt and pepper. Put a layer of the vegetables in the bottom of a saucepan, sprinkle with brown sugar. Then add another layer of vege tables, then sugar, and continue in this way until all is in. Bake in a quick. oven rind when a rich brown add half ai cup of cold water; place on top of stove and stir and cook for fifteen minutes or until you have a rich brown syrup. Strain off the sauce and bottle, corking tightly. Keep in a cool place. A little of this added to a soup, stew or sauce will give color and flavor.. HERB SALT. Take bay leaves, sweet basil, mar joram and thyme in equal quantities. Place them on a dish, in a very moder ately heated oven, leaving the door open. When dry enough, grind or rub them fine, using, a small spice mill if you have one. Rub through a wire sif-ve, allowing to eight ounces of the herbs, two tablespoonsful of salt, half a teaspoonful allspice, half an ounce of white pepper, half teaspoonful ground mace, one nutmeg grated, one table spoonful celery salt. When well mixed, put into wide-mouthed bottles and cork tightly and keep in a dry place. FINE HERBS. This term used generally in recipes means parsley only, but practically it is a mixture of parsley, tarragon, chervil, shallots, chives, basil and mushrooms, chopped and sweated in fat. The fol lowing is a good formula: Place an ounce of butter in saucepan with six shallots chopped fine. Set over the fire and cook three minutes then add half a cup of finely minced mushrooms and "sweat" for ten minutes: remove from the fire. Dip two sprays of parsley In boiling water, quickly removing them and mincins very fine: add a table spoonful to other materials, season with half a teasnoonful of salt and same of nutmeg. If you do not use at once, put into a small iar and cover with melted paraffin. SPICED SALT. This is Durand's recipe for spiced salt: Take two ounces salt, four heads of cloves, two nutmegs, six bay leaves, one stick cinnamon, four whole pepper corns, a drachm of basil leaves and the same quantity of coriander seeds. Pound in a mortar and pass through a fine sieve. Keep tightly corked in bot tles. Another variation is to dry in a warm oven some thyme, sweet marjoram. pars ley ana finely chipped yellow rind of lemon: pound it in a mortar and run through a sieve: add a teaspoonful of celery salt and cork tightly in bottles. Cooking an Old Fowl POTTED FOWL. For those who prefer to pot their own meats. Strip the meat from the bones of a braised or steamed fowl free it from gristle and skin, weigh and to every pound of meat allow a quarter of a pound of fresh butter, two or three slices of cooked ham. salt and pepper to taste, a teaspoon fid mace and half a small nutmeg grated. Grind or chop the meat very fine and pound to a perfectly smooth paste with the butter, sprinkling in the spices srrnJ ually in the meantime. Pack the mixture in little jars or pots and cover to the depth of a quarter of an inch with clari fied butter. Tie parafin paper tightly over the tops and keep In a cool, dry place. This will keep for some time and is con venient and always acceptable in the form of dainty sandwiches, or may even be made into small croquettes or balls dipped and fried and served with a suitable sauce. CHICKEN LOAF. Boil a fowl until the meat and bones fall apart. Strain off the liquor and put it into a saucenan and reduce it to three cupfuls; then add half an ounce of soaked gelatine and stir until the gelatine is dissolved, but do not let it boil. Decorate the bottom of a plain mold with slices of hard boiled eggs; pour in a shallow layer of the jellv; let It harden, then fill up the mold with alternate layers of white and darjc meat, pouring in a little of the jflly, well seasoned, with each layer; r, t away to harden. This is a nice dish for Sunday night tea. MATELOTE STEWED CHICKEN. Singe, draw and cut up a fowl, rub with butter and flour and brown it in a good oven. Put four tabiespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan and when hot try in it a carrot, a parsnip and an onion cut in dice. Place the fowl in a stewpan with the veg etables and one quart of white stock or broth. In the butter in which the vege tables were fried put two tabiespoonfuls of flour: stir until smooth, then put in with the fowl. Mash the liver and add to chicken with a tablespoonful of capers and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer slowly until the chicken Is tender, then add a quarter of a pound of mushrooms, cut m small pieces and simmer 15 minutes longer. Serve with a garnish of mashed potatoes. BROWN FRICASSE1E. Cut up an old fowl; put into a stewpan with barely enouch water to cover and stew gentlv until tender: have a frying pan hot, out in a few slices of fat salt pork and when they begin to fry put m the pieces of chicken and fry a rich brown. Remove chicken and pork from pan. pour off most of the fat. rub in two tabiespoonfuls of flour and then add the broth, season to taste wim aan aim vainer- nut back the chicken and bits of pork and simmer a few minutes; take up the chicken, arranging it on a hot dish; stir two beaten eggs into the sauce and serve. Inquiries Answered. Miss P: In reply to your inquiry, beg to inform you that we have not, at present, a cookbook .containing all the recipes which have been published in the household department. We will file your name and address and let you know when such a book is readv for sale. In the meantime you can obtain any recipe desired by addressing inquiry to the office. FONDANT. Mrs. S. K. requests a recipe for making fondant. Do not attempt to make up more than a pound of sugar at one boiling, as a larger quantity is difficult to handle. Put a pound of best granulated sugar in a clean, smooth sausepan, add half a pint of boiling water and stir until the sugar is dissolved: then remove the spoon and be careful that you do not disturb the syrun while it is boiling or it will granulate. As it boils, little crys tals will adhere to the side ot tne sauce pan; these will also cause the syrun to granulate on cooling if allowed to fall back in the mixture, therefore have a small cloth and a bowl of cold water ready, dip the cloth In the water and carefully wipe off the crystals as they form on sides of pan, also any scum from coloring matter in sugar, which may form around edge of syrup. As the 3ugar boils the bubbles will grow larger and heavier in appearance: it is then time to test it. The best and surest method is as follows: Have a bowl of ice water at hand; hold the fingers in this until they are chilled, then take them quickly from the water and before they dry dip them into the boiling syrup, then back into the water and rub th-i fingers together and as soon as you can form a soft bail of the syrup taken up in this way, the fondant is don;? end must be at once removed from the fire and slowly poured out on a marble slab or large flatter, thoroughly oiled to within a few inches of the edge. When the syrup is cool enough to allow considerable pressure from the finger, stir it rapidly with a wooden paddle, brushed with oil, until it is white as snow and difficult to stir; take up at once while still warm and knead as ycu would dough, until it is smooth and soft, then lay it on a plate, dusted with powdered sugar or oiled, cover with a damp napkin and set in a cool dry place for 24 hours before using. This can be colored and flavored in va rious wars and used for the foundation candy and melted over boiling water for dipping, adding melted chocolate or cocoa for chocolate creams, or coloring pink, green, etc., with color pastes. If the fondant is too soft to form for the centers use it for dipping. If it granu lates it can be used for taffy. Do not attempt to make fondant in damp weather. In testing the syrup do not be afraid of burning your fingers, but work quickly. The rapid changes in the boil ing syrup make this test much surer than taking it up in a spoon and drop ping it into cold water. GRAPE JUICE. M. C4. writes: Please inform me throu?h your columns how to make grape iuice. Use the finest grapes Concords are usually preferred. Wash them thor oughly after removing stems and im. perfect ones. Put them in a kettle with a quart of water to every twelve pounds of fruit, skim as soon as they begin boiling and cook slowly for ten minutes; then strain through cheesecloth, boil up again and bottle and seal at once. If you cannot keep in a cool, dark place, add half a pound of sugar to every quart of juice after it has boiled thor oughly and then boil for ten minutes longer. After all the juice has drained from the grapes without pressure, squeeze the remaining pulp and use the expressed juice for an inferior grade of juice or jelly or make marmalade of the remaining in ice and puln. APPLE BUTTEB. Mrs. S. writes: Please publish recipes for apple butter and tomato catsup. The following is a quick apple butter. Few care to go to the trouble of making the thick, dark rich apple butter after our grandmother's recipe, but if that is the kind you have in mind we will give the old time formula on application. Prcl. core and quarter a bushel of good cookine apples; boil down four, gallons of new cider to one-half the quantity; put in the apples and ook them slowly to a smooth, thick, dark mass, stirring almost constantly with a raddle attached to a long handle. If the flavor is liked, add the juice of three lemons after the apples cook soft, and two ounces each of srroimd allspice and cinnamon may be added if vou desire a spiced butter. Put into ston-- iars and when cold tje up tightly with brown paper and keep In a cool and dry place. CATSUP. To everv gallon of tomatoes put four tabiespoonfuls of salt, four of black pep ALLURING COFFEE. Nearly Killed the Nurse. When one of the family is sick mother seems to be the only person who can tenderly nurse the patient back to health. But we forget sometimes that it is pretty hard on mother. Mrs. Propst of Albany, Ore., says: "About twenty-seven months ago, father suffered with a stroke of paraly sis, confining him to his bed for months, and as he wished mother with him con stantly, his rare in a great measure fell to her lot. She was seventy-four years old, and through constant attendance upon my father, lost both sleep and rest, and began drinking coffee in quantities until finally she became very weak, ner vous and ill herself. "By her physician's order, she began giving father both Pcstum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts, and in that way began using both herself. The effect was very noticeable. Father improved rapidly, and mother regained her strength and health, and now both are well and strong. Mother says it is all due o the continued use of both Postum and Grape-Nuts." per, one of cayenne, three of mustard, half a tablespoonful of ground cloves and same of allspice. Wash the tomatoes, cut out the stem end, cut up and boil them 20 minutes, then strain; add the spices and simmer for three- hours, or un til thick and smooth, bottle and seal. A little vinegar may be, added if you like your catsup tart. Also onion and green pepper minced fine. WORLDS FAIR PLANS. Rules in Competition for Kansas Building Design, Formulated. The architects who wish to enter the competition for plans for the Kansas building for the St. Louis world's fair will have until December 19 in which to work. On that date the plans sub mitted will be opened and the awards made. The architect who wins first prize will be made supervising architect in the construction of the building and be paid accordingly. The second prize is $150 in cash, the third $125, and the fourth $100. The rules governing the competition have been formulated by the Kansas world's fair commission, and the general plan is as follows: "The commissioners to the Louisiana Purchase exposition hereby submit a plan of competition for the Kansas state building to be erected on the exposition grounds in St. Louis. "The commissioners propose to obtain plans by means of competition from all architects of the state of Kansas who desire to compete. The proposed build ing is to stand on a level site, surround ed by forest trees, near the south border of the grounds. "Walks and drives will surround it, but no driveways or build ings will be close enough to effect the outline of the structure in any way. The trees will restrict the view so that all fronts will be eaually. important, There should be two or more public en trances. The desirability of preserving as many or the trees on the site as pos sible suggests the advisability of a two- story structure. The cost of the build ing, exclusive of painted interior decora tions and furnishings, must not exceed fill). TOO. "Realizing the impossibility of com petitors obtaining at this time accurate miormation as to the cost of their de signs, and desiring a building which shall be beautiful in detail rather than large and plain, the commissioners have decided that the ground area of the building on the basis of a two-story structure shall not exceed 7,000 square feet, exclusive of verandas. "It is assumed that the building will be a frame structure, covered with staff and plaster. Gas grates should he nro- vided in the reception rooms or if de sired, brick chimneys may be used. Tile floors will be very desirable in the lob by and toilet rooms. The commissioners have prepared a statement which is herewith submitted, showing the re quirements which in their opinion will insure tne convenience of the public. The building- is not intended for com petitive exhibits. The first floor of the ouiiaing snail contain lartre halls a nnh lie stairway to the second floor, two or more outside entrances, registration and postoffice and check room, gentlemen's reception, smoking, reading and toilet rooms, ladies' reception, retiring and toilet room, a small mtchen and dining room for employes. "On the second floor there should be a public parlor, an art room, an exhibit room, a historical room, a custodian's room, a janitor s room and seven bed rooms lor employes, with bath and toil et rooms. "All Kansas architects are invited to enter intdthis competition. The draw ings will be 'Judged by the commission ers, who reserve"; the right to call on one or more professional advisers who are hot competitors. "The commissioners propose to offer four prizes as follows: The author of the dewign which is aeceoterl by the "Com missioners will be retained to plan .the building and superintend its construc tion, and will be paid for his services at the schedule prices established by the American Institute of Architects. "The commissioners reserve the right to employ a consulting architect who sh.ill superintend the construction of the work and divide the fees between the architect who prepares the plans and the superin tendent, and according to regular scale of prices laid down by the American Insti tute of Architects. The architect present ing the second best plan shall receive a prize of one hundred and fifty (150) dollars, the one presenting the third best plan shall receive a prize of one hundred and twenty-five (125) dollars, and the one pre senting the-fourth best plan will receive a prize of one hundred ($100) dollars. The commissioners reserve the right to require the architect to make such alterations and modifications in the plans, finally accept ing as they may desire. Should any in quiries for any further details be found necessary by any competitors, such in quiries in any case must be made by let ter to the secretary of the commission, Wichita, Kan. Architects who take part in this competition will be understood thereby to accept the foregoing provis ions as part of the conditions of this com petition. No drawings or bids will be re ceived after December 15. Final action of the commission will be taken at that time." In a typewritten page the commission then makes provision for a set of four plans from each architect. One plan is to be a floor plan for each story, another for the two elevations, another for one section of the bull ling and the fourth for the two facades. The competitors must not sign their names or place any motto or design on their plans by which their identity might be revealed. A Rush, for Seminole Lands. Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 22. -The recent de cision of the interior department that provides for the making of five year leases on Seminole Indian allotments, is attracting a sudden and widespread in terest to that portion of Indian Terri tory, one of the most fertile of the southwest.

In the closing hours of registration here there was sufficient excitement to satisfy the hearts of the most ardent suffragists who wanted to feel that they were in politics. Eliza Kellogg was sent home in an ambulance after she had been crushed in a stam pede resulting from an attempt on the part of "Billy" Green to kill Alderman Patton. the women's representative, who was trying to get his constituents on the voting lists. Green started for Pat ton flourishing a gun. Twenty women were waiting outside the counter and shrieked for help. A few fainted and there was a wild scramble for the exits that landed most of the ladies out of harm's way, while Patton ran down the street pursued by Green. "It was almost a miracle. Burdock Blood Bitters cured me of a terrible breaking out all over the body. I am very grateful." Miss Julia Filbridge, .West Cornwell. Conn. WANTED AT EUREKA.

Cranfield holds that the beginning of his courtship was unique; but that may be Cranfield's cne-fdilrtl view. It was the night of the Hunt ball and he lean ed against a pillar in the dancing room. At no time a dancing man, on this oc casion he was excessively bored: he was out of sorts; the band was too loud; the crush was too great. He thought regretfully of his library Are. and shiv eringly of the long drive home. At the end of the room he saw heads turned toward the dwr. Following a very human impulse, he turned his own in the same direction. He was inquisi tive, but the desire to know is quite as infectious as a disease. In a brief space the crowd about the entrance parted, and his curiosity melt ed before another feeling a feeling as rapid, if infinitely more strong. He closed his eyes; then he readjusted his glass. It was Creighton Tommy Creighton and his wife. He watched them move slowly up the room, and as they moved he felt, rather than heard, the admira tion that hummed in their wake. He took a long look; then he leaned back against the pillar, seeking to realize ex actly where he stood. "If you ever fall in love. Cranfield," some one had once said, "you'll be the worst case on record, bar none." The words occurred to him inoppor tunely. As a man he was not excep tional; but there were things- at which he drew the line. Making love to a married woman. curiously enough, came first on the proscribed list. Tho feelings that surged through him as he let the pillar support him were largely made up of fear. The thing was pre posterous grotesque. He shied vigor ously at the shadow of it. But not for an instant did his eyes stray from Mrs. Crelghton's face. He had seen her before once before. That point alone wrought self-distrust. He had called one day with Bi.stii.r thorpe, and she had given them tea. His verdict had been. "Extremely pretty sarcastic, and a trifle cold." He screwed in his eyeglass and lean ed still further back. He saw Creighton introduce four men. Then his control gave way. He forced an opening in the crowd: but when he reached her side and spoke, his voice had a tone that, ven to him, was new. "May I have the pleasure?" She looked up with Just the faintest surprise. Then her eyes fell on the facings of his red coat, and she smiled the friendliest and most perfect smile he had ever seen. "I She hesitated and glanced round for Creighton; but Creighton h;.,l disappeared. Bhe smiled again and held out her card. -I enr, number five." she said. "Will you put down your name?' i T.14 "V ''d nTui scrawled his init ials Then he looked at the obvio slv waiting men. jj.'?,"mber six ia also free," he said. "May lie would not have ndmitted the fcrl lnss with which be waited f,lr her rr,,u' He saw the negative trembling on her ih, and quailed. Tlim, to his absurdly L-.V." 8herbluSiredSaVlnS SmUe ta,m: nd "You mar." The words seemed the frankest ,1 most delightful he had ever h'ard

There is nothing in the world so vivify ing as hope. In h single moment the i,i ing crowd had become the urivcrM ,i he bad found its ore. IJk a w.mde-rfi'ii I v d. ferret! dream the lifth dance ume round and waiting was at an end "Mine. I think," he said She folded her fan, smiied nt the man bntUie her. then laid her band on Cran fiiln s arm. "Shall we dance?" he aslied "Oh! please." He hid his disappointment, though hii Ideas were cunou.-ly upset. She seemed so enthusiastic so buovanllv ou'ik The music had quickened to us eiul'whe-i he swung re, nut of the c ash. H 'i,n, was still swaying to the Inat of the tan.' as he drew her down a pass.-i;-' to dis taut scat In ten minnt-s of companion ship she had grown straight into his life The carpet of the passage was verv st i'i the light of the hanging lump was vrv dim. It seemed to him ihnt lie had oni.. existed until now. He arranged th- erst. Ions on the divan and she sat down "Do you believe in infatuation'" he :i-v. ed suddenly. He fit afraid of what he was going to say. He felt that his principles, bis hmor he used the world boldlv all stu,i thinps. were drifting from him li'-e a miraije. "Have you vere heard of a man coin off his head in a single night?" he as'ci a afresh. She looked up at him. and behind the uneasiness In her eyes he felt that she was measuring him inch by inch "I'd like to ask you something' said, "if you don't mind." She glanced down, then once more he glanced up. "I want you to tell me your name He met htr gaze in blank surprise It was hard to be rebuked: it was inhunvi-i to be forgotten wiped off her memory in six weeks. "'ou've been puzzling me the whol night." she said. "Of course. I know that you're some friend of Tommy's: but what friend and where I met you sh.' broke off suddenly and looked at him once more. "Please do enlighten me. I'm Juit dvlng to know." '"I suppose you're laughing at me h" BRid. "I suppose you think that because you're so so horribly pretty von can turn a man's head just f'-r sport." But n isn't sport: at least, not to me. I'm hand icapped every way." The music of the next dance began Tt appeared distant and much subdued. Hi balance and his nerve seemed lost. He rose slowly. "At least." he said, grasping at a thread, "at least say that you remember giving me tea Rishtrthorpe and me. one day soon after you'd come back trom your honeymoon. Don't make rue feel quite an outsider." She watched him curiously. Then an expression just the dawning of a smile siWe into her eyts. She clasped her hands and the smile cre;it very slowly from her evt-s to her mouth. "How delicious"' she said. "How per fectly delicious! Hut how absurd!" Craniield was fidgeting with his pro gramme. At her worda he suddenly tore it !n two. She glanced at him and there was a glow like firelight in her eyes. "i don't think." she said, deliberately, "that 1 ever gave you any tea. I'm not Daisy, you know; I'm Daisy's sister. We are horribly alike, and I always keep for getting. Please forgive mer it's been all mv fault." The swish of the dancers and the throb of the waltz came to Cranfield; they were the accompaniment to his tangling thoughts. He passed his hands across his eyes, brushing away many things. Then, for the first time that uisht. lis smiled. "Might I?" He halted. "Might I?" aa ir eyes met. Tie suddenly hmt near; so nmr that his breath touched her elicic. "Might I? Just to level things." Her head drooped and the color rushed into her face. Her answer, when It came, was a whisper one of those inaudible mvstrries that are never really placed. To this (lav Cranfield insists that it was "vcs." but Mrs. Cranfield is quite persist ently determined that it was "no." DER GERM AN COBBLER. Ha "Gets More Aflvica aft to Hoff'tt) Make Customers. "Hans," Says dot little tailor to me one day vhen I don't haf no neesness in my shop, "der great trouble mit you is dot you don't hit off der pooblic. Look at my case! I started in mit two vests und an old pair of trousers, und now I vhas wholesale und retail und can pay my gas bill eafery day in der week. It vhas all in hitting der pooblig shust t:'l.t." "But how can I do her?" X savs. "Dot is vhat I shall tell you. Der pooblic vhas full of shokes und fun. If you can make a man smile, he vhaa a customer. Two years ago, vhen pees ness vhas poor, I put oop a sign dot reads, 'Haf you teen dot tale of a coat?' By golly, but more ash one tousand peoples read dot sign und laugh oafer him und come in to buy. It vhas sooch a crowd around dot der police haf to club fourteen peoples in one day." "Hut vhat makes 'em laueh?" "At der shoke." "Vhat shoke?" "Der tale of a coat. Can't you see how it vhas?" "No. If vou haf some tail of a coat. I can't see vhy anypody should laugh." "Den you vhas a tool. I shall gif you one more chance, howefer. I shall make you a sign for der window, und if he don't bring in customers you had better go und drive some ash waon." Vhen dot sign vhas up, he reads, "Souls renewed for 2nc apiece." I don't see how she vhas at all. und I don't laugh, but dot little tailor shakes all oafer und gets red in der face. In half an hour aitt r he goes avhay a man comes in und sai's: "Cobbler. I haf lived in dis town for thirty years, und dis vhas der first time I vhas insulted." "How vhan it?" i say;".. "Do you pelief dot my soul vhas like an old vest, dot you can take him out und at in a new back? How dare you make fun of" der human soul! Vhas rot my soul above wax und pegs und leather?" "It vhas shust a little shoke,"I says. "Vhell, you stop her right avhay. Der pooblic don't like sooch shokes. It vhas all right if you say, Come in und gel heeled for a quarter,' but vhen you come to der soul, dot vhas deeferent. It vhas plain to me dot you vhas an old scoundrel, und if you gif me two words I'll make you werry tired!" Der next man who reads dot sign takes fife minutes about it, unci vhen he comes in he looks awful lonesome und shakes his head und says: "Cobbler, it vhas too late. For feefty years I vhas a bad. bad man. 1 drink und swear und cheat und rob und mur der, und my soul vhas all worn cut. It vhas like trying to make a new hat to an old band. V'hv don't vou nut oon j dot sign a year ag"o?" i oon t think of it. Too bad too bad. One year ago you might haf put some cement patches on my soul und save me from destruction, but now I vhas gone oop Salt creek. Can I lean on your shoulder und shed some tears?" "I vhas too busy." "Can I sit down on a chair und weep?" "I like you to get outdoors." "So you don't care if my soul vhas gone, eh?" he yells at me. i'Tou can sit dere, mit your hammer und pegs, und peg avhay und haf no sympathy for me, who vhas doomed? Vhell, we sh-ill see about dot!" Und he gifs me six cuffs on der ear und two kicks, und if I don't yell out maype he wrecks my shop. I don't pe lief no more in signs, but pefore he vhas down a woman comes in und looks at me und says: "Cobbler, I like to ask a favor of ycu." "Vrr:e!!?" "I vhas a martid womans for twenty years During ail t time my husband vhas drunk two or three times a week, tie beats me around und swears at tne. und sometimes I don't hat food for two dEi'S." "It vhaa too bad," I says. ''My husband vhas gone to der dogs if you don't help him out, und I don't want you to. If you renew his soul, he will go on und get drunk for twenty years more und keep me suffering. If he comes here, you must sut him off. Tell him you vhas out of cement. Tell him it vhas your busy day. Don't let him be repaired for 25 cents." I promised to do ash she wished, und she goes avhay happy. More ash ten peoples comes in und spakes about dot sign, but no one laughs- or gives me any work. It vhas time to shut cop my shop vhen dot little tailor comes around to see how it vhas. At der same time p. bis man comes in to see about der sien. ''Who put ood dot sign in der win dow?" yells der big man. "It vhas my little shoke," says der tailor ash he rubs his hands und lauehs. "How vhas it a. shoke?" "Vhy, you get a new soul for 25 cents. It vhas a play on der word, you see." "I don't see netting of the kind. My innocent boy, ten years old, reads dot sign und comes home to say he don't care about his soul no more, as he can buy a new one any time. Do you call dot some shokes?" "Of course." t "Vhell, I don't, und I show you vhat a real shoke vhas." Und he takes dot little tailor by der neck und mops him all oafer der shop und leaves him sh limp ash a rag. He vhaa gone out fife minutes pefore I says: "Tailor, how vhas der tale of a coat?" But he says nottlngs. He makes some sighs und groans und limps avhay to his own shop to please der people und get up a fall boom. (Copyright, 19002, by C. B. Lewis.) x HUMOR OF THE DAY. "Do you think the tariff question will ever be taken out of politics?" "It may. If we can get the Democrats to quit insisting when there is trouble over it that the tariff is a political is sue, and if we can persuade the Repub licans to admit when the tariff is sup posed to be making everybody prosper ous that it is not a political "issue, we may get the matter placed upon a pure ly non-partisan basis."

"Are you an orator?" "No, sir. I'm the leader of a brass band. The musicians always get money, but the orators are expected to talk for nothing." Washington Star. "What do you think of these "ere trusts?" asked Farmer Bootiack. "All wrong tur-ble things," replied Farmer Sweetflag. "Gov'ment hedn't orter allow them to exist. By the way," he added, with a chuckle, "I guess thet milk association hes got the pesky milk dealers risht where we want 'em now. They'll hev to come down with our price for the milk or else quit sellin'." Terre Haute. Gazette. She Do you think a woman should go to church without wearing her hat? He No, I don't. I think she should do everything that would tend to attract other women to church." Yonkers t statesman. He had been having a little experience with a horse that had a will of its own. "who was it," he asked, "who said, You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink?' "I give it up, but it's true, isn't it?" "Oh, yes, I suppose it's true enough, but there's another greater truth than that." "What is it?" "Sometimes it's easier to bring the water to the horse." Chicago Post. "Father, what is an umpire?"

Gotham Not personally; only by' his grammar. Yonkers Statesman. SOCIETY GAMBLERS. Play la Always High and According to Strictest Ethics. "Although in a general way the as sertion that gambling by young men of fortune is decreasing is true, a part of the average wealthy bachelor's income must be deducted as a tribute to the Goddess of Fortune. He plays occa sionally in a gentleman's game of poker. After a stag dinner he may try roulette or faro in one of the gambling houses that are nominally run as private clubs. These private gambling houses are ex pensively appointed to suit the sybaritic taste of such young men. There is no ostentatious scrambling for winnings in them, nor does the loser bowail his losses. They are run in accordance with the strictest ethics of the gamblern code. To one of these houses last win ter a young bachelor of New York took his friends one evening after-dinner, and when he had finished playing he gave the proprietor his check for $250, 000 to balance their accounts. Bridge whist has proved even more expensive to many an unattached man than poker or faro, because It has flourished as a social diversion in which women might Join without losing caste. One young woman, whose social position is up questioned, said proudly at the opera last winter that a diamond necklace which she wore had. been purchased with her bridge whist winnings of the month before, and no one of her circle of friends found in this statement any thing but a reason for congratulating her on her skill. Another woman, a ma tron in wnose tram may be found the wealthiest and the poorest bachelors in New Tork's smart society, gave a-series of Saturday night bridge-whist dinners and the rlay which followed them was so high that several fashionable preach ers found timely texts in it. Another form of popular gambling is called, euphemistically, speculation in stocks, and so far reaching has been its influ ence during the past five years that few young bachelors of wealth have escaped it. These forms of 'dispensing wealtn like a gentleman must not be overlook ed in cataloguing the actual expenses of the millionaire bachelor, and to them should be added a good many different kinds of wagers made during the year."

10 TOPEKA STATli JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBEK 22, 1902. OUT THEY GO. Bock Island Abolishes H. W, Daub's Position. Superintendent of Bridges and Buildings Also Changed. FOREMEN DO THE WORK One Will Have Charge of Work on Each Division. U. J. Bishop, General Foreman of New Department. There Is to be a change in the method of handling the supervision of the road water service, the painting and bridges and buildings of the Kock Island, lines west of the Missouri river after November 1; at that time the position of water ser Tice superintendent which has been held by H. W. Daub for a number of years, with headquarters in Tipeka, will be abol ished. Likewise the place of superintend ent of bridges and buildings will be done away with and for each division will he appointed a general foreman to look after the painting, water service and bridges nd buildings. He will report to the di s lon superintendent. Appointments to these foremanships have been made as follows: G. J". Bishop, who has been one of two bridges and buildings foremen with head quarters in Topeka, has been made the general foreman for this new department his office still' to remain here. M. Bishop, who also has had the bridges and build ings of a large part of the lines west of the Missouri, has been assigned to the Oklahoma division and will be stationed at Chlckasha, I.'T. P. L. Park, who has had supervision of a part of the bridges and buildings in the west, will be given the El Paso division and will have his office at Herington. For the Colorado di vision C. M. Knowles will go to Goodland and this department of the Nebraska di vision will be looked after by C. E. Cal ve it. This change is made in order that the work of those departments which are to be placed under the division superintend ent directly may be further systematized than heretofore has been the case. In the past frequently more Than one superin tendent of bridges and buildings reported to a given division superintendent, and :l Is believed that by the new plan the thing may be simplified. No announcement has been made re garding the disposition of Mr. Daub, but it is understood xmofficially that he may be taken care of in the engineering de partment of the road. In the removal of one foreman from To peka to Chickasha it means the reduction of the working force of the Roclc Island in Topeka by several men. RISTE WONT HAVE IT. Doesn't Want Nomination for Superintendent. W. G. Riste, of Norton, whose name will appear on the official ballot under the "Populist" heading as a candidate for superintendent of public instruction, writes the State Journal that he is not a can didate for the office and does not want people to vote for him. Prof. Riste was nominated by the Lathrop Populists by the referendum ballot. His communication to the State Journal is as follows: "To the Editor of the Journal: "I will be pleased to have you permit me, through the columns of your paper, to request my friends to disregard my name which will appear on the state offi cial Populist ticket for superintendent of public instruction at the next election. I was nominated without my knowledge or consent. I at once sent the head of the ticket my refusal to run. Receiving no reply, I filed my declination papers with the secretary of state but have been in- 0 73

But Ueorge Henderson's Kecord Indicates He Is. Judge Hazen has the school board Bible case all mixed up in- his gray matter with the Henderson divorce case, in which a "red-headed widder" and a peg-legged woman, some railroad con ductors and a large amount of family troubles have to be untangled. The divorce case was drawn out so long that the court called a halt for a while and to rest himself listened for a few hours to the school case. Mrs. Jen nie Henderson asked for the divorce and the' children, and George Henderson does not want a divorce, but if he had to have it he wants the children. He took the stand and was questioned by his attorney, David Overmyer. All went well until Henderson was cross-eues-tioned by the defense. "Did you go to Lawrence to work at your trade as a stonemason?" asked Judge Atchison. "Yes. I did," replied Henderson. "Oh, I know all about this Sunday Sun busi ness." This seemed to be a surprise to Atch ison. He decided to bore in and discover what this might lead to. "What about the Sunday Sun?" asked Atchson. "Oh, I know all about it." "Did they write you up?" "I know," replied Henderson. "Well, what did vou refer to?" "The Sunday Sun." "Why did you speak about it?" "I thought you were going: to say something about it." "Well, what about It?" "Ask me and I'll tell you," replied Henderson. Here the court interfered and request ed the case be hurried along a little. "Well, didn't you support another wo man at Lawrence?" asked Atchison. "No, sir," emphatically announced Henderson. "Didn't you keep company with an other woman?" "Well, I went to the opry with one." "Wasn't there another one?" "Well, there was a red headed wid der." "And another one?" "Yes, a peg legged woman. I knew them was all," said Henderson. "You have been at Horton lately haven't you?" "Yes." "Weren't you riding with a -woman there and didn't you make love to her?" "Well, yes, I tried to kiss her." "Didn't you think that was bad?" "Well, It might have, been a little naughty but it wasn't bad." "Didn't that create some trouble?" "Yes, she told my wife about it." "And that made trouble between you and your wife?" "Yes, but I didn't tell her husband about it." "Did you ever make love to any other woman?" "No, I haven't been much of a ladies' man." "Have you always worked when you could?" "Yes, and I have supported my family and always worked when there was work, but I did not like to cut wood in the winter because that is beneath the dignity of a mechanic." Judge Hazen took the case under ad visement to see who should have the custody of the children. WILL WINTER HERE. Sells Downs Circns to Be at Fair Grounds. On November 11, the Sells-Downs cir cus will arrive in Topeka over the Santa Fe, and will go into winter cuarters at the state fair grounds. All of the horses will be wintered on the Sells farm east of town, and all the wagons, equipment and menasrerie will be in the buildings at the fair grounds. It cost over $20,000 to winter the show last vear. and the expense will be considerably larger this year owing to the increase in the size of the business. Willie Sells will be in Topeka during the whole winte.r His partner. Mr. Downs, is sick at his home in Toronto, Canada. Last year the Sells show wintered at Cincinnati, but it was found that better accommodations could be secured, in Topeka. There are about 20 cars In the circus train, and they will be switched into the fair grounds to be unloaded. All during the winter, the work of rebuild ing and repairing the wagons will be in progress at the fair erounds. It will furnish employment for a large number of men. and add considerably to the work which is available during cold weather. The recent disastrous wreck of the Sells circus train on the Choctaw has not injured the show in the least. The railway company replaced the smashed up cars with even better equipment, and paid the circus very heavy damr ages besides. The circus Is now playing in Texas and will come direct from Texas to To peka. ALL WILL BE THERE. President's Arbitration Com missioners Ready for Work. Washington, Oct. 22. Acceptances have been received bv the president from all of the members of the coal strike arbitration commission. Each one has indicated his intention of being present at the preliminary session of the commission to be held here on Fri day morning. YOITXGEK'S BODY ARRIVES. Kelic Hunters Cut Pieces from Coffin Box En Route. Lee's Summit, Mo.. Oct. 22. The body of Jim Younsrer, the hanriit who shot himself at St. Paul, arrived here today and probably will be buried In the fam ily lot tomorrow. Pallbearers have been selected from Younger's former Mis souri friends, several of whom knew him from childhood and served with the Youngers under Quantrell. When the coffin arrived, it was seen that many splinters had been cut from the pine box enclosing it, presumably by relic hunters who had met the funeral party at different points along the route from the north.

This Time They Are Charged With Disturbing Peace. HE WENT TO SLEEP. Wm. Allison Forgot He Was in Aunt Jane Davis' Joint. When He Awakened He Was Short 20. HE domestic trou bles of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Smith are not terminated. fjJ Last Saturday night i n t l 1 i house came home 'and almost killed a f, plain, drunk who t: had invaded his domicile. For this 'he. was put in jail. Yesterday he was released, the victim vl haying shown a dis- i l position to live. S 1 Last night Smith re- -A X I turned to his haimv home and assaulted Mrs. Smith. They made quite a disturbance and a couple of police officers took it upon themselves to break into the game, also into the resi dence, and remove both combatants. They were locked up, and the woman kept over night. Smith was released about 11 o'clock. They will both have a hearing this even ing on the charge of disturb ing the peace. The police are sorry for Smith, who was formerly a Santa Fe en gineer. Over a year ago his engine.which was puliing the fast mail, blew up. The company decided that it was owing to the carelessness of Smith, and he has been unable to secure another position. This trouble, followed by the conduct of his wife, Is thought to have affected his mind. Benjamin Brubaker was gathered last night at 11:30 for the heineous crime of carrying a deceased rim fire revolver of the cantilever pattern'. The court decided this morning that a man who would wear such a weapon was entitled to a fine of five plunks, and to relinquish all right and title to said weapon, which will be used to nil a vacant space in the curio depart ment. Last night a man named William Alli son, of Oakland-by-the-Dump, made the sad mistake of going- into the arms of Morpheus and the disreputable Smoky Row joint of "Aunt Jane"- Davis at one and the same time. Finding him thus wrapt In slumber and the vile odor of fried onions and bad brew. tW .colored gentlemen. Messrs. "Patsy" and Jessee Hall, got busy and removed $20 from the person of the slumberer. Strange to re late, the pair were in the strong embrace of the law within the hour, yea, even be fore they had a chance to spend any of the fruits of their toil. They were caught with the goods, and a state warrant was issued for their transfer to the other cor ner this morning. Jailor Smith and Officer Mcintosh went to Fort Riley today to testify againsj the two deserters,' Larson and Piper, who were arrested here while working for the Ringling circus. At 11 o'clock last night a policeman found the water main bursted about the center of the street car bridge, where it had probably been weakened by the strain on the bridge during the summer floods. The water company was notified and the break hastily repaired. DETROIT WINS. Secures the Next Convention of the Christian Church. Omaha, Oct. 22.

Speaker of the Commons Rules Him Out of Order. London, Oct. 22. William O'Brien created a great deal of excitement among his fellow Nationalists in the house of commons today by questioning Premier Balfour regarding President Roosevelt's letter to the convention of the United Irish league at Boston, Mass. Mr. O'Brien asked the premier jf he had observed that -Mri' -Roosevelt sent a letter, and whether in view of the friendly relations between" the United States and Great Britain he could make any announcement that this country was not disjosed to learn wisdom re garding Irish affairs from the head of a great and friendly nation. ine speaker promptly ruled the ques tion out of order, to the evident Chagrin of the Nationalists, whose Mrcitement in creased as Mr. O'Brien continued to press his point. He urged that the let ter of the president was an international fact of the first importance to the future of Great Britain, and that it would not be a friendly thing to the head of a great nation that his letter should be treated as if the house of commons was disposed to "avenge an insult to the chief secretary for Ireland and his e- mova :3:e3. The speaker maintained his ruling, and Mr. O'Brien tried to move an adjourn ment of the house to discuss the mat ter, but the speaker ruled that it was not a matter of definite imnortance, THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER. Boston, Oct. 22 Following is the text of the letter sent by the president's sec retary 10 tne united Irish league at its convention in this city: wnite nouse, Washington, D. C, "October 18, 1902. Dear Sir Your communication of re cent date has been received and in re ply 1 would state that while the nresi- dent very much appreciates the cordial inviiauon extended to him by your league, he regrets that his ipublic dutie3 will prevent him from being present on the occasion to which you refer. Owing to the pressure upon his time incident to the preparation of his annual mes sage to congress, he is at present unable to accept any invitations.

BIG TREES AN ATTRACTION. Efforts of Owners of Adjoining Groves to Make Vl Most ef Them. There .is-comedy mgiOnJn the red woods' of Santa CTitz "pounty Just now which.-lsv well calculated to1 add -to the gayety of nations. jE seems that nature laid, the .basis for contention when she lp oa'td there the. fsi'est that is Known throughout central California as -the big trees. The cupidity of man added the other elements necessary to the comple tion of the comedy. ''It seems that in process of time the fa mous grove of Sempervirons giants pass ed into the possession of W. R. Welch. Mr. Welch evidently knows a good thing hen he sees it. He also has his share of the almighty-dollar chasing propensity. which is said to be one of the besetting sins or tne American wherever you find him. .Having bought his property Mr. Welch reasoned that it ought to produce an in come. It was near the railroad and many people from the trains evinced a desire to see the trees. This gave Mr. Welch the idea he needed.and he proceeded to build a high fnce around his place. The fence ob scured the view and made It incumbent on the tourist who would view the trees to first separate himself from 25 cents and give the same to .Mr. Welch. For a time all went well. The quarters disappeared into Mr. Welch's pockets with satisfactory regularity and life was glad. But a change came. In making his pur chase Mr. Welch had neglected to buy some adjoining land which had a. few trees upon it. This property was bought by M. C, Hopkins, who was also willing to make money. But Mr. Hopkins did not take kindly to the idea of an entrance fee. He thought it better to build a club house and furnish his guests with pleasant sur roundings while they looked at the trees.
