Death Is Reported as Due to Old Ae. LONG AND BRILLIANT Was Her Career in the Service of Her Sex. She Had Been Pigaged in the Work Over GO Years. New York, Oct. 27. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the well known woman suffra gist, died Sunday at her home in West Klnety-fourth street, in this city, at the age of 87. Old age was given as the cause of death. She was conscious al most to the last. About a week ago Mrs. Stanton began to fail rapidly. This become more notieeahle last week, and then it was known to the family that her death was only a cuestion of days r hours. ELIZABETH CADY STANTON. The children with Mrs. Stanton when she died were Mrs. M. F. Lawrence and Mrs. Stanton Blatch of New York, Hen ry and Robert L. of New York, law yers; Theodore, of Paris, and G. Smith, a real estate broker at Warden Cliffe, Long Island. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, but the hour has not been set. The interment will be In Woodlawn cemetery. For more than 60 years had Mrs. Ftahton been engaged in unceasing ef forts for the benefit of hersex. .Among many changes which she has seen come to pass have been those -of mothers ap pointed equal guardians of the children with their husbands; laws respecting the liability of employers to working women; laws regulating child labor in factories in most of the states; women on the boards of directors in asylums, penitentiaries and almshouses; women matrons In police stations; equal nay lor eaual work; women in the colleges, i universities and professions; the rights j of business women protected, and she j has also seen that mervelous growth of reached such a flpvM i'lVL t-' i ted States that it is the wonder of the world. She has seen the Australasian I lands. Queensland, A'ictoria, New Zea- i land, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah ex tend political equality to both sexes, and incidental to these great chanees she has seen the many accompanying ones of lesser note due to the change in public opinion and the gradual educa tion of the masses up to a more rea sonable standard. Mrs. Stanton's SOth birthday, which was celebrated in New York in 1S95. was one of the greatest occasions of the kind ever known. The National Council of Women of the I'nited States, compris ing 20 organizations, with a member ship of more than 700,000, took part in it. HER CAREER. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in Johnstown. N. Y., November 12, ISIS and was graduated at Mrs. Emma Wil lard's seminary, in Troy, N. Y.. in 1X.12 In 1840 she was married to Henry Brew' ster Stanton, and in the same year, while attending the world's anti-slavery convention, in London, she met Lucre tia Mott. with whom she was in sym pathy, and with whom she signed the call for the first women's rights conven tion. This was held at her home in Seneca Falls. July 19 and 20. IMS. Sh? c' i urn legislature on tne riernts or married women in 1S54 and in advocacy of divorce for drunkenness in I860, and In 1SS7 sookP w,- ,hL lslature and the constitutional conven tion. maintaining that during the vision of the constitution the ft resolved into its original elements on,i that citizfns of both sexes had a right to vote for members of that convention She canvassed Kansas in 1S7 and Mich igan in 1S74. when the question of wo man suffrage was submitted to the peo ple of those states. Since ISM h has addressed many congressional com- mittees and conventions, and delivered numerous lectures. on this subject and for ten years she was president of the National Woman Suffrage association I In 1868 she was a candidate for con gress. She was an editor with Susan R j Anthony and Parker Plllsburv of The Revolution, founded in 18SS. an3 is Joint author of "History of Woman's Suf frage." "My mother," said Mrs. Stanton once "was Margaret Livingston. She was the daughter of James Livingston, an officer in the revolutionary army it was he who fired on the British shin Vulture when that vessel anchored in the Hudson river. This was at the time that Benedict Arnold was plotting trea son. My grandfather saw the ship out In the river and knew it was there for no good purpose. He knew that some thing ought to be done, but as Wash ington was away and he was then only a lieutenant, he hesitated about taking the responsibility rf firing on the vessel However, he finally made up his mind to do so. and the Vulture sailed aws leaving Major Andre behind. "My father's ancestors came from Connecticut. Thev were also blanches of the sturdy Puritan tree. The Living stons were Scotch. I do not know of any Cadys In England, but there ws a Cade there Jack Cade, the revolution ist and maybe the Cadys are descended from him. So. you see. there is plenty of revolutionary blood in mv veins" PRECOCIOUS S A CHILD. As a child Elizabeth Cady Stanton, or W Elizabeth Cady, a8 she was then, was precocious perhaps self-reliant express es it better. She tells how, when she was 10 years old her only brother died, how her father grieved over his son's death, and how one day he took her on his knee and gave voice to the wish that his "oat filter "was a boy." Then, Mi s. Stanton says ehe made up her mind that, as she con J not be a boy, she would try to aceuarpU'! what a -boy couH. Her first step toward this end was to learn to ride her pony. She also was imbued with a desire to master Greek, and she applied to her pastor, an old Scotch clergyman, for instruction. Being; of an alert mind and blessed with a good constitution she made rapid progress in both undertakings. She then took up Latin, mathematics and other mannish studies. She had a very pro ficient instructor in her brother-in-law, Edward Bayard of Delaware. From this gentleman she learned much of poetry and art, and also of physical culture. It was no trouble for her then to scale a four bar fence with the agility of a college athlete. When Elizabeth Cady was 16 she en tered Mrs. Willard's seminary at Troy. Before this she expressed a desire to go to Union college, and fuel was added to the flame in her breast when she was made aware of the discrimination against women that rendered her in eligible for admission to that famous old seat of learning. Mrs. Stanton says that while she was in the seminary she never forgot the impressions she had formed in her fath er's office. She looked forward to the time when she could go before the legis lature and do something for the cause in which she had become so deeply in terested. MET HER HUSBAND. After leaving the seminary and return ing home. Mrs. Stanton was thrown in contact with her cousin. Gerrlt Smith, the (in, nhniitinnist sh w rP h v interested in this movement, also, and was forcibly struck with the similarity of the conditions which oppressed white wo- men and the slaves of the south It was at the house of the abolitionist that Mrs. Stanton met the gentleman who became her husband. They went abroad on thtir wedding trip, and attended the anti- slavery convention in England. Mr. and Mrs. Stanton came back to j America, and then followed one of the j ally denying their truth and giving as most interesting episodes of her life. After surance that their utter falsity would her return she had, in company with oth-j be satisfactorily proven to the Republl ers interested in fe-nale suffrage, hern cans of Kansas.

Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 26. The news of the death of Elizabeth Cady Stanton fell with crushing weight upon Susan B. Anthony, who had planned to go to New York on November 12 to assist the I venerable advocate of woman's suffrage I j" the celebration of her 87th birthdaj Miss Anthony said: Through the early days, when tne world was against us, we stood togethei. Mrs. Stanton was always a courageous woman, a leader of thought and new movement. She was a must finished defending Mm. A clamor for a state writer and every state paper presented ment from Kelly was threatened.

The greatest campaign we ever had together was in '69 at the constitutional convention held in Kan sas for suffrage and the same year in New York state. "In spite of her big family, to whom she was devoted, and the great amount of work she did outside her home, she was one of the finest housekeepers I ever saw. "The last time I saw Mrs. Stanton was in June. "She talked about the other side," t -;JSS Antnony- D"1 na? Ia"n always said this was a beautiful world 1 1, v?1? S,y, nlre aS 'nB possible. She believed in the immutable i law 111 everything, and did not believe in an' sPe-'ial providence for herself ot anyone else Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton campaigned together all -over this coun try. They wer.t to England together in 1883. "She went to call an international suf frage convention," said Miss Anthony, "but the English people were afraid of it then. But it was at that time she conceived the idea of the convention which five years later was held in Washington, and later formed into the International Council of Women. We received many attentions on this visit to England, being received by John Brignt and other distinguished per- sons. POISONED A WOMAN. An American Who Kept a Saloon in London in Trouble. London, Oct. 27. George Chapman, who came from America in 1S.13. and is now tne landlord of a Southwark saloon, poisoned a ycung woman who had lived with him as hin wife. It transpired that this was the third woman who died within five years in houses owned by the prisoner and it is said the affair may develop in a man ner similar to that of tht celebrated Neill poisoning case in 1892. Thomas Neill (alias Creaml, M. D-. was convicted in London of the murder by strychnine or Matilda Clover, an unfortu nate woman. October 21. 1S!12. and was ex ecuted November 15 of the same vcar. He was accused of the murder of three other women. Temperatures of Large Cities.

Yeteran Editor, John Gilmore, Makes a Straight Talk. Supported Entire Republican Ticket for 28 Years. CAN NOT DO SO NOW. Makes a Comprehensive Review of Kelly's Record. Made Mistake Once of Voting for Sam Lappin. It is a noticeable fact that the Kan sas editors who take the pains to per sonally investigate the charges against T. T. Kelly are invariably the ones who are most outspoken in opposition to his election, simply because they are con vinced beyond a doubt that Kelly is of ficially dishonest. For the first time in 28 years John S. Gilmore, the veteran editor of the Wilson County Citizen, is opposing a Republican nominee, but he is vigor ously fighting Kelly because Kelly is wcorruiit. htn Kelly issued his "explanation" some time ago Mr. Gilmore published it i.J i e'i,c u" Ju!"-"- hls last issue he Publishes an editorial reviewing the entire case and tells wh jveuy should be defeated. He says: "fn tKa yf V,.-. T rt Kl 1 convention at Wicnita thse opposed t6 the nornination of Thomas T. Kelly for state treasurer caused to be circulated charges of dishonesty and swindling against him while county clerk of Miami countv from 1890 to 1894. These chareps failed to dfpnt ii: nnminatinn. Mr. Kelly and his supporters emphatic- friends as delegates not only to the Wichita convention but to the congres sional convention, that he might employ the full power of Miami county in pro motion of his candidacy for treasurer. So while the charges were unfavorable, the presence of a solid home delegatiou supporting him; statements from his friends that the charges were untrue and entirely the result of a malicious factional fight in Miami county; that they had been sprung just before tha convention to unfairly beat him, and that they would positively be explained setting the charges of dishonesty; they created sympathy for him, as one wick edly assailed and infamously wronged by enemies who would stoop to any, thing. Then Mr. Kelly was nominated. "The state convention over, expecta tion was on tijitoe for a formal denial of the deliberate findings of the board o commissioners of Miami county, suppoi l ed by specific refutation and clarifying facts. But nothing appeared. A month passed, and still silence reigned."' An other month followed, and the solemn stillness was unbroken. Kelly and his friends were relying upon the Miami county storm subsiding an.i having no effect m the state. As the third month advanced Republican papers in Kansas (not run by editors of the white rabbit kind who had abased themselves before I or pandered to the p armers Alliance, and later whooped it up from the start ior rree silver;, oegan demanding mat Mr. Kelly give some explanation of the indictment which made him out a thief. Not a Republican paper in the state was any of the specific items involving the rais ing and duplicating by him of county warrants. Instead the statement was an elaborate recital of the political condi tions in Miami county as they applied to local interests and individuals ingenious- in method, plausible in reason ing and remarkably conciliatory in tone. It practically assumed that his part in the political dissensions of Miami county constituted the issue in his candidacy instead of the question whether the Re publicans of the 104 other counties of Kansas should have on their ticket as a nominee for the important office of state treasurer a man who could not clear himself of the charges of drawing public money by resort to artful but criminal mear. "Mr. Kelly in his statement (it was not an explanation) insinuated that the county records had been taken out of the court, house and doctored to make a care against him. Everyone of ordinary information knows that records cannot be changed without showing it. Would anyone suppose for a monjent that Mr. Kelly would fail to prove such tamper ing with the records if they had been altered in the slightest? Besides, the commissioners say none of the records were missing, altered or mutilated and the raised and duplicated warrants aro all in the handwriting of Thos. T. Kelly. And on top of all this evidence in off set of the three months' delaved in sinuation of doctored records. Mr. Kelly was present with the commissioners and county attorney when every vouch er, warrant and other record was be fore them after their examination, and he did net question their verity nor allege that a letter or figure had been chTiged. Mr. Kelly in his cMcussion of the po litical situation in Miami county dwelt on the fact that two men who were leading the fight on him had signed his bond as assistant state treasurer. That bond was a former one and signed be fore the development of proof of his crookedness as county clerk. Those men are not on his present bond. He could as fitly have shown, after the Miami county Republican convention condemn ed him by a vote of 180 to 29 on August 16 after the disclosures against him, that a convention of the same rsrty in that county had endorsed him five months before such disclosures "Again, he refers to the fact that hp had been receiver of a Nat!onal bank that failed end closed ur its business without being charged with misappro priation of funds or words to that ef feet. Men who have held riostofSces or other positions involving the handling of money for the; United States know how impossible it Is to improperly get away with a single cent belonging to the government or those for whom the government acts as custodian. "The examination of the records of Miami county by art expert covering the period of Mr. Kelly's clerkship was an examination only in name, conducted by a grafter-sport for fabulous pay. His examination was for the express pur pose of ascertaining -whether the state of Kansas did- not owe Miami county, and the payment of $1,400 to the expert for about a month's work was condi tioned upon his finding the state indebt ed to the county in at least a stated amount. His general scrutiny of county records was subordinate and nominal simply a pretense of the grafter-expert to give the appearance of having ren dered other service than finding money due from the state and thus Justify the extravagant compensation he received. The defectiveness of the work of that 'expert' has been amply demonstrated in several counties!! whose records he passed through afteir the manner of his Miami county experfing. "Five weeks ago tie Citizen printed in full the statement of Mr. Kelly in its reg ular columns. This week Is printed in the form of a supplement the findings of the board of commissioners -of Miami county. We sought this matter that our readers could see both sides for themselves. m "In 1874 Samuel Lappin was the Republi can nominee for state treasurer. Before the election he was charged with dishon est practices and deals. The Citizen took the revolting medicine and kicked not. Lappin ran some thousands of votes be hind his ticket, but was elected. Within two years he forged school bonds, turned them into the state school fund, pocketed the proceeds, ran away, was apprehended in Chicago, brought back and Jailed. Then he escaped from Jail, fled to South Amer ica and was gone for ten years. Th school bonds forged, of Mitchell, Jewell and Re public county districts, were sold to the state for $19,050. We believe the bondsmen made the state whole, just as Kelly in demnified Miami county for unlawful pro ceeds from raised and duplicated county warrants. But what an example was Lap pin's! What a disgrace for a party and a state! "We cannot forget Lappin. The Citizen held off in the election of 1S74 until the last issue undecided whether to declare against and oppose him, and its editor has always regretted that he did not 'bolt' Lappin's candidacy.' "This is the first time in 28 years this paper has printed a word or circulated matter apainst a Republican, high or low, after he became the nominee of the party. It has no apology to offer, as Its reasons are stated. It is notdictating to Republi cans nor ostentatiously directing what they should do under the circumstances. It is up to the individual voter to form his own conclusion and act accordingly. TO GO TO MINES. Arbitration Commission Will Sit in Anthracite Region. Washington, Oct. 27 Notwithstanding there are quite a number of details to be arranged- the members ot trie an thracite coal strike commission are hopeful that they will be able to com plete the preliminary arrangements at their sitting this afternoon. So far as the operators and the miners have ex pressed themselves they have indicated a willingness to subordinate their de sires in the matter of time and place of hearing to the wishes of the commis sion. It is the general understanding that practically all of the meetings for the taking of testimony will be held in the anthracite regions and it is believed that the commission will be able to get to work during the present week. Another preliminary question which will require attention is that as to the questions to be taken up by the com mission. Mr. Mitchell, who reached Washington early today, accompanied by District President Fahey will press for a very general inquiry, while it is understood that the operators will seek to restrict the inquiry. Dr. Charles P. O'Neil, assistant recor der of the commission, called upon President Roosevelt to pay his respects. Although the president feels that the matters involved are now out of his hands he took occasion to impress upon his visitor the great importance of the investigation and the far reaching char acter of the results to be achieved. YOUNG AFTER MILES. Slated for the Next Lieutenant General of the Army. Washington. Oct. 27. "I do not think I am betraying any confidence when I say that Major General S. B. M. Touns will be the next lieutenant general 01 the army," said Major General Corbin today. Then he added: "And his pro motion will be enjoyed by none more tnan by myself. Lieut. General Miles will retire tor age next August, and this declaration by General Corbin was inspired to some ex tent by the appearance of his (General Corbin's) name in the monthly army list next after that of General Miles point ing out the probable succession. As a fact, it is stated that the order of the names in the list was fixed by the seniority of the commissions of the offi cers. General Young would have abou'. a year to serve In that grade if he is made lieutenant general. PA11KER DOESN'T KNOW. Mayor in a Quandary About How to Vote. Mavor Parker was asked today how he expects to vote in the coming county election. He said ne amn i Know. "Sometimes I am almost tempted to hore that Mr. Stahl and Mr. Stebbina will win," said the mayor. "1 would just like to give these folks the whoie thing once, and see wnat tney can flo. It would do more to put an end to mis continual agitation than anything I know of. Let them have it all, and run ud costs to suit themselves. That would snow the people just wnat tney can ac comrtlish. "The only trouble is that the men of Topeka who pay the taxes do not favor such a plan. They are the ones who have to foot the bills. It is the peopia without any property who are always clamoring for someone to shut up the Joints. It don't hurt them if the city does spend thousands and thousands of dollars In a vain -effort to close the joints. For twenty years they have been trying to close the joints, and have never succeeded. F. Marion Crawford Arrives. New York, Oct. 27. F. Marlon Crawford, the novelist, was a passenger on the steamship which arrived today from Genoa. HERE'S HIS RECORD How Galen Nichols Has Failed as County Attorney. A Few Leaves from the District Court Proceedings. REBUKED BY JUDGE. Either He Is Ignorant or Grossly Careless. Why It Was Necessary to Dis miss One Criminal Case. County Attorney Tried to Pro ceed by Custom." Galen Nichols has served one term as county attorney and has made an ig nominious failure as a prosecutor and a lawyer. He has been publicly rebuked by Judge Hazen and the county com missioners have been forced in looking out for interests of the tax payers to employ other attorneys to handla cases which should have been looked after by Galen Nichols. The commissioners long ago found Nichols both incompetent and dilatory and ceased to ask him for ad vice. In suite of this Nichols asks for re election. Can he expect it upon his rec ord, leaving entirely out of the question the liquor prosecution? Judge Hazen, while delivering- an opinion in the case of the State vs. A.. F. Poole, charged with stealing chickens. rebuked Mr. Nichols in no uncertain language. Poole was charged by Nich ols as county attorney with stealing chickens. There was some irregularities in the drawing of the, legal" papers and the eonductine of the case by Nichols wnicn gave the attorneys for the de fendant a technical loop hole by which to free their client. The technicality was argued on a motion May 31. At that time Galen Nichols was in Wichita attending the Republican state conven tion and he paid no attention to the case. On June 2-Judse Hazen decided the motion against Poole and in doing so said r "If this was a question of diligence in finding authorities this motion would be decided in favor of the defendant." meaning that the county attorney had failed to produce authorities to combat the defense. "The attorneys for Poole were the only ones -who presented auth orities and argued at length. The pros ecution has not presented -authorities but the court has looked up authorities on its own account." On May 13 Mrs. Carrie Nation was tried on the charge of breaking into the Moeser Ice and Cold Storage plant. When the case was ready for trial J. M. Dumenil, attorney for Mrs. Nation, said: "We object to the introduction of any testimony on the ground that the names of. the witnesses have not been endorsed on the complaint." "It Is not necessary in a misdemeanor case," said County Attorney Nichols. Judge Hazen looked up some authori ties and later said: "Can you cite the law which does not require that names of witnesses be endorsed on the com plaint?" "Well, no, not just now," said Nich ols. "I was going by custom mostly." "We don't go by custom here." said Judge Hazen. "What I want is law. The case will be adjourned until 1:30 o'clock to give the county attorney the time to find the law." When court convened County Attor ney Nichols was unable to cite any authorities but "custom" to sustain his point and Judge Hazen dismissed the case against Mrs. Nation. Attornevs say that one of the first principles of criminal procedure is that the names of the witnesses shall be endorsed on the complaint in order that the proceedings may be fair and that the defendants shall know what witnesses are to be called. Galen Nichols was eithsr ignore ant or he wished to persecute Mrs. Na tion by unfair means. On October 1. H. Kicker was tried on the charge of running a road house at Twenty-third and Poik streets. He was arrested on June 29, 1901, by Frank Stahl, chief of police, and several offi cers. City Attorney Spencer prosecuted VZL1 It? road houses and part of the charge against thicker was that ne sold liquor. Notwithstanding- the nature of the case Kicker was defended by W. I. Jamison, the colored assistant county attorney. wno was appointed to the nlace bv Galen Nichols. Nichols, instead of pros ecuting Kicker, allowed one of his dep uties to aerena tne man. A year ago when E. H. Hewins. the Democratic candidate for sheriff. brought a mandamus action against County Clerk John M. Wright to com pel him to place his name on the ticket regardless of the biennial election law, Galen Nichols refused to look after the interests of the county clerk under the plea that he was too busy. It is the duty of the county attorney to look after cases brought against county officials. but Wright was forced to employ an other lawyer to defend the case for him. and the county attorney took no hand in it whatever, and refused any assist ance,. Before Charles D. Welch was appoint ed county auditor he brought two cases against the county commissioners for persons injured by county bridges fail ing. In those cases Nichols defended the county commissioners and lost both cases. Th cases were brought by O. Martenson. who secured a Judgment for $1,200 for the loss of time and expenses resulting from the Injuries to his son. who was injured by a bridge collapsing. Charles Martensen. the son, secured a judgment for $900 for injuries. After Welch was appointed county auditor Samuel Parr sued the countv commissioners for $5,080 for injuries re ceived in a bridge falling. It was not part of the duty of the county auditor to act as a lawyer in the defense of cases against the county. It was the duty of Nichols, but the commissioners knowing his incompetency employed Welch to defend the county, and paid him $150 for his services. Welch won the case for the countr, and Parr did not secure any judgment. Galen Nichols was the prosecutor in the case of Roy Daniels charged with ktll- Ingr Frank Devlin In a fight which took place In ar: East jrourth street joint. ran lels was scquitted. The lawyers f r the defense displayed a thorough knowledge in the trial cf the case of the explanation given by he physicians who were placed on the stand to give expert testimony. The lawyers I01 the defense had studied up on physiology and displayed a thorough knowledge of the effects of blows such as Devl:n r"-t'-"i1. Nichols displayed a wonderful degree of ignorance on the same questions and h? was completely nt the mercy of the attorneys for the de fense. He had not prepared himself for the trial of the case and he lost it. Do the people of Shawnee county want such a man for county attorney a second time? WU IS RECALLED. Chinese Minister Has Been Or dered Home from Washington. Washington, Oct. 27. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, has been recalled to his country by a special edict which was received by him today. He is ordered to return by the most direct route to Shang hai and will leave as soon as he can pack his effects, probably within two weeks. He will become minister of commerce and will also be a member of the joint com mission to negotiate commercial treaties. WILL TRY IT OVER. Another Effort to Pave More of Kansas Avenue. Two petitions for paving Kansas avenue south of Tenth avenue are being circu lated, one providing for pavement from Tenth to Twentieth and one only from Tenth to Thirteenth The first petition specifies that Capital City vitrified brick must be used, and Cap ital City cast Iron curbing. The other petition, which was filed today with the city clerk. Is more liberal in its terms, and provides for Capital City, Law rence or Coffeyville brick, and Allen, Lyon county curbing or Colorado red sandstone curbing. It proposes a pave ment 90 feet wide from Tenth to Thir teenth, the intention of the petitioners be ing to cause the extension of the Kansas avenue business district south of Tenth street. Imlicatlont are that the bitter pavement fight which was waged a year ago con cerning the improvement of this p.irt ot Kansas avenue will be repeated. So con flicting were the petitions and requests which came up from Kansas avenue lasJ year that the whole proposition was de feated, in spite of the very feeneral senti ment In favor of pavement of some kind. It was then proposed to pave from Tenth to Fifteenth streets. One of the present petitions provides for pavement clear to the Shunganunga creek. The petition filed today has 23 signers representing 3414 numbers of property on the three blocks. It was circulated by George Reuter, who was one of the lead ers in the paving fight last year. The pe tition provides that the pavement shall cost not to exceed JL25 per square yard, and the curbing not over 65 cents for Colorado red, and 50 cents for Allen. Accompanying this petition Is a protest and withdrawal from the other petition, which evidently was circulated first, but which has not as yet been filed. Six people who signed this former petition, but who have since reconsidered, and pi.cned Reuter's petition, are as fallows: Mary E. Cornell, Mrs. E. E. Seller, L. A. Mc Reynolds. Mrs. M. Thompson, A. Evans. Blanch Wilson. It is probable that when Kansas avenue is paved the street railway company will put in a double track as far as the pave ment goes. There has long been a need of paving on Kansas avenue, and it is to be hoped that the people living on that street can get together on some plan for operation. FORD GETS A PLACE. Galena Man Appointed Gover nor's Private Secretary. Governor Stanley today appointed W. D. Ford of Galena, to be his private j t t. I L f i nT thf term as governor, from now until the second Monday in January. Mr Ford immediately entered upon his duties. The new secretary formerly lived at Wichita, where Governor Stanley knew him. He went to Crawford county a number of years ago and served two terms in the legislature from there. He has been in the real estate and miniiTg business for some time at Galena. He has always been active in politics and has been secretary of the Cherokee ,HeU -Jpea. to be a good "mixer. county Republican central committee. is genial and possesses what is known as a "good presence," which are require ments in a first class private secretary. THREE BOYS KILLED. Run Down by a Santa Fe Train in Oklahoma. Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 27. Joe Roegel, Dan Carnahan and Hugh Mor row, 13-year-old newsboys of Oklahoma City, were killed today near Nobel by a Santa Fe train. The boys had been hunting and returning home walked down the track.

Defeats the Ohio State Eleven by Score of 86 to O. Ann Arbor. Mich., Oct. 27. Coach Yost s men lived up to their reputations again Saturday afternoon and pushed the Uni versity of Michigan's sum total of points for tlie season up to an even 424 points. Ohio State University's much-feared foot ball team was the victim. The score for the afternoon was KG to 0. The Ohio people had expected to make a much better showing, and 2.000 rooters htd come along with the team to see the con test. Michigan football enthusiasts ex pected to see a contest that would try the skill of the wolverines, and the bleachers held no les-s than 6,000 people. Ohioans and Miehiganders alike were disapiointed, as the buckeye team never had a look-in. Eight touchdowns were made in the fust half and seven in the second. Five of these went to the account of Berrnstein. lies ton. Lawrence, McGugan and Palmer each carried the bail over twice and the others went to Maddock and Jones. The Michi gan defense showed up in fair Ftyle, de spite the score. It was, however, not equal to the strength shown at offense. For the Ohio men Foss did some excellent tack ling. Yale 24; Syracuse 0. New Haven, Conn.. Oct. 27. In an ex citing game, full of good plays, Yale won from the Syracuse university by the score of to 0. Except in one halfback and end rush Yale outclassed Syracuse in ev ery position. Captain Brown, left half back, was easily the most brilliant indi vidual player on the field. His end runs were a feature, one especially, in which ne ran 62 yenrds and came within double ins own length of scoring a touchdown, about the middle of the lirst half. Over-confident because her backs, helped by strj.ig team mass plays, which hud t-wepf thv length of the field twice.. to touchdow is. Yale had for a moment relaxed her vig ilant play. A line player held in a scrim mage and the ball was taken from Yale and given to Syracuse. It was their tirst opportunity. Captain Brown called for his own signal, and. clearing the Yale left wing, darted toward the field, dodging through the group of tacklers until he was clear through. Glass, running from across the field, gave stern chase ami threw himself at the flying figure 12 yards from i ale s goal. Brown fell forward. lanrt i ing the ball on Yale's 10-yard line. Vale j here held her downs, but soon lost the bail I again. The Syracuse? captain worked the J ball directly in front of the Yale goal, i only 20 yards away, and gave ihe signal to 1-uiibacit Moms to try a neia coal, i he attempt was poor and failed to score. Throughout the gnme Yale's standard offense was tackles back. With the ex ception of but a few times, Hogan carried the ball anil made, three of the four touch downs. The halfbacks were sent around the ends only inf reo'iently, mass plays asrainst the line being preferred by ooth quarterbacks. Yide's def'-nse was im proved noticeably, and her offense was much stronger than last week. Princeton Defeated Columbia. Princeton. N. J.. Oct. 27 The Columbia football team was defeated here by the Princeton eleven by the score of 21 to 0 in the hardest game that Princeton has played this 5-eason. Immediately after tile kik-off Princeton started in on a series cf heavy line attacks and after ten minutes of this stvle of vtlav. supplemented with j a few brilliant run:, Foulke got by Colum I bia's right end for the tirst touchdown. I Both teams played hard and fast through out this half, and at times Columbia made big gains through Princeton's renter and left, but the latter always forced the, vis itors to punt before thtir.goal was en dangered. In the second half the first touchdown was secured two minutes aftr the start on a brilliant run around Columbia's right end by Foulke for 4F yards, and a 2-yard plunge by h'm through left guard. Short ly after thi.i touchdown Columbia's line weakened and S. MeClave and Moore, who replac-d Hart and Foulke, and R. Mcf'lave carried the leather down the iielri to the 2-yard line. S. McClave then circled the opponents' left on a difficult and clever run for the next touchdown, about Mix minutes before time was called. During the remaining time the hall was in Co lumbia territory most of the time, bat the visitors held them down at critical per iods and kept Princeton from crossing the goal again. Cornell 57; Oberjin 0. Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 27 The score of 57 points to 0 tells the story of the Cornell Oberlin game on Perry field. Early in the game Cornoil's superiority was manifest and after Coffin had kicked goal from place and Sheble had been snt over from a touchdown, from which Coffin kicked goal, the visitors lost heart and Cornell stood at will. Coffin ran the en tire distance of the field from kick-off for one touchdown, while Brewster barely missed scoring in a no less sensational manner. After shaking off several oppo ner.ts and gaining a clear field, after hav ing received the hall on a punt, he stum bled against Captain Warner and fell Harvard Defeated Brown. Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 27. Harvard was held to a single touchdown by Brown on Soldiers' field Saturday, but on the whole played much better footballthan the team from Providence. Twice the Crimson eleven was within striking distance of the Brown goal, but a fumble and a mistake in signals prevented additional scoring. On the other hand. Brown was unable to get within forty-two yards of the Crimson goal line and in the second half played entirely on their own side of the field. Harvard had the ball almost continually. Three end runs of Kernan, forty, thirty five and fifteen yards respectively, and three dashes of Marshall through broken fields from punts of twenty-five, eighteen and twenty-three yards were the features of the game. The Harvard' line was stur dier than in any other game this year and only once during the game was held for downs. Graydon's hurdling netted three or four yards as a rule- and mass play In side of tackle was usually good for the required distance. There was very little fumbling, but continual off side-playing by Brown lost that team a total of thirty-oue yards. Harvard kicked only once during the game and that was Marshall's try for a goal from the twenty-five-yard line, which failed. On the other hand. Brown kicked twice in the first half for a total distance of forty-eight yards and five times In the second half, which with a strong wind behind, gave them 216 yards. In the first half Harvard netted 131 yards by rushing, to Brown's twenty-four, while in the second half the crimson team rush ed ninety yards to thirteen for Brown. Over 10,000 persons saw thee game. Denver 21; Emporia 0. Denver, Colo., Oct. 27. The Kansas State Normals of Emporia were defeat ed here in a game of football by the Denver Athletic club. The score was 21 to 0. It was a decidedly one-sided match, but nevertheless interesting. The cherry and black had a'-! the best of it in weight, but the stocky little peda gogues put up much more than a normal game and drew the admiration of the audience by a nervy and stubborn de fense. The Athletics surprised the home people by their form, which was far ahead of what had been expected. The team has improved greatly, plays a fast game and has its formations well in hand. The tackles around tackles play were most effective, but almost every play used netted a gain. St Marys 5; K. C. Medics 30. St. Marys. Kas., -Oct 27. The Medics of Kansas City defeated St. Marys Sat urday by a score of 30 to o. The locals were outclassed, and, though they made a plucky light, the doctors were able to go through them almost at will. After the first half it was merely a question of the size of the score. Dur ing the early stages of the game St. Mary3 played fast ball and seemed to stand an even chance to win, but the Medics soon struck a winning gait and it was impossible to stop them. Nebraska 12; Missouri 0. St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 27. Nebraska tri umphed over Missouri on the gridiron, but the defeated Tigers waged a des perate defense, forcing the Cornhuskers in achieving the victory to be content with t-ut two touchelowns. Benedict kicked both goals and the final score stoxl 12 to 0 in Nebraska's favor. The halves were cut short, Missouri asking it and Nebraska gladly acquiescing,, that the men might husband their energies for next Saturday's crucial contest against the Haskell Indians. Wisconsin 38; Kansas O. Madison, Wis., Oct. 27. The football team representing the Kansas university met defeat here Saturday afternoon at the hands of the Wisconsin eleven. The score of 3S to 0 does not tell of the fierce ness of the contest or stubborn defense and never-give-up spirit exhibited by the youngsters from the' Sunflower state. The visitors were up against seasoned and ma tured players and were outweighed twenty pounds to the man. 1 Jfennsylvania Eleven Won. Philadelnhia ,(Vt fT ,Th. TTnivorollv of Pennsylvania football .eleven defeat ed the Bucknell team on Franklin field by the narrow margin of 6 to 5. The Lewisburg eleven outweighed Pennsyl vania nearly ten pounds to the man. but the Quakers put more dash into their work than in any previous game this season. The nlavers were pnitpn off smoothly and the backs started quickly, two points which have caused the coaches much anguish. Dickinson 6; Annapolis 0. Annapolis, Md., -Oct. 27. The Naval academy eleven, the proud conquerors a few days ago of the University of Penn sylvania, were defeated by the Dickinson tltven by a score of 6 to 0. The poor showing of the middies is attributed to the absence from the contest of all the regular backs and several line-men, who were kept out of the game by illness or injuries. The feature of the game was a thirty-yard run through right guard by Tompkinson. West Point 28; Williams 0. West Point, N. Y.. Oct. 27. Williams proved easy Saturday for the cadets, who defeated them by a score of 28 to 0. The sensation of the day came in the first half when Bartlett received the kick-off from Williams and ran through the entire Wil liams team eighty yards to a touchdown. In the second half West Point put in a number of substitutes. "It was almost a miracle. Burdock Blood Bitters cured me of a terrible breaking out all over the body. I am very grateful."

George Burns Believes He is the Most Patched-TJp Man in the World. The man who claims to be the most patehed-up person in the world is in Cleveland searching for his long-lost brother. George Burns is his name, and, according to his story, he is a walking testimonial to tie ability of the modern surgeon to patch ur the human frame. The catalogue of Burns' afflictions and physical disabilities reads like a list of the casualties in a mine disaster or a subway exrdosion. Burns says that the entire top of his skull is gone, being replaced by a silver plate which is attached to his right jaw; five ribs on the left side have been removed, forcing his heart to the right side of his anatomy;, a portion of his right hip is missing; one of his legs has been fractured in three places, the other in two: his elbow joints are a thing of memory; he is blind in one eye; one of his kneecans is situated midway down his shin, and in all thirty-seven pieces of bone have been removed from his body. Burns says that at one time he was thought to have passed to the great beyond. The shroud had been prepared, the coffin was ready, when the supposed dead man rose to protest against the funora! r".tes. The much-disnbled man was born in Troy, N. Y., 73 years ago. He claims to be a veteran of the Mexican and a sur vivor of the civil wars.

The emigrant bureau undertakes to look after the emigrants until they arrive at the station for which they are bound. It does not undertake to encourage emigra tion. The Santa Fe will by putting, the attractions of the new country along its lines before the man In Europe who want3 to better his condition plant the desire to move in his heart and afterward it will undertake to see that he Is transported. The agency in the south of Europe which was maintained for a long time by the Santa Fe was the means of bringing a large number of desirable settlers to the vine-growing country of California. Their knowledge of vineyards and grape culture, as well as acquaintance with methods of handling semi-tropical fryits, has been of great benefit to the section where they settled. Three vineyard work ers have come in colonies. Only a few weeks ago a party of fifty came from southern France. A season of similar work in northern Europe is expected to- Tesult in arousing as much interest in the western country as did the work in the Mediterranean countries. It is expected that a good class of workmen will be attracted and that the vacant lands tributary to the Santa Fe In the wes; and southwest will be filled with farmers, stock raisers and skilled workers in other occupations which o.an be profibioiy carried on there. The mild climate of .he Santa Fe country will prob ably appeal to the dwellers in the north ern countries of Europe, and. all of these frean Germany, Norway, Sweden, clear through to Russia will be canvassed by the representatives of th? road. IN KINGKAN COaiiTY. Orient Contractors Ready to Begin Work at Once. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 27. The contractors of the Kansas City, Mexico Orient rail way neiw have their camps pitched on the Kingman county line. The track is al most completed from Harper to Kingman county and as soon as the right-of-way is secured,, the work will be pushed toward Wichita. The Kingman county commissioners Monday appointed the appraisers to assess the damages for the right-of-way through Kingman county and the appraisers havs gone to work and they expect to have their job finished in a few days. The line in Kingman county is short and the com missioners will not be long making their appraisement and the money Is ready to pay the farmers damageel. I'nless there is some, unforeseen difficulty in settling for the land appraised, the work will be com menced in Kingman county within a month. A large part of the land necessary for the right-of-way was purchased by the company. Yesterday the county commissioners of Sumner county appointed their appraisers to assess the damage caused by the line through the northwest corner of the coun ty. The line in Sumner county is eight and one-half miles long and a good part of this has been purchased outright by the company, so the appraisers will have hut a few days' work to complete the ap praisement in their county. GEO. DE HAVEN CHOSEN. Will Be at the Head of Southwestern Colonization Movement. The sub-committee of the southwest ern lines to arrange for the colonization of the southwest held a meeting in Chi cago Saturday, those present being: John Sebastian, Rock Island. Bryan Snyder, St. Louis San Francisco, and George T. Nicholson, Santa Fe. It was decided to recommend that George De Haen, formerly general passenger agent of the Chicago West Michigan railroad, be made general emigration agent of the southwestern emigration bureau. He was present at the meeting anel suggested that agencies be estab lished in all- eastern states and in Eur ope. The rate probably will be fixed at one fare plus $2 for the round trip, though at present lower rates are being made to Texas points, owing to a wan between the Southern Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas Texas. Heretofore, emigrants have been going to the north west, owing to the low rates offered by the northwestern lines. Much of this business, it is believed, can be diverted to the southwest.

The number or per sons killed in train accidents during tne month of April, May and June last, as shown by a bulletin issued by the inter state commerce commission today, giving the reports made by the railroad com panies, was 140 and the injured 1.S10. Ac cidents of other kinds, including those sustained by employes while at work and by passengers getting on or off cars, etc., swells the aggregate to (516 killed and 520 injured, or a total of l'j.lS'i casualties. The total number of collisions and de railments was 2.010. of which l.oid were col lisions. Of these 157 collisions and 101 de railments affected passenger trains.

TELEGRAPHERS JOIN IN. Ask Southern PaciSc for a Raise in Pay. Oakland. Cal.. Oct. 27. With the return of Vice President Krutscnniti. of the Southern Pacilic from New York, develop ments are exacted within a few elays rel ative to the demand for increased wages made by the employes of the company. The only new development which ha-. come to light is that the Order of Railway Tvlegraphtrs have also added their de--mand for increased wages to the requests made by the either organizations. The telegraphers' union includes all of the opciators anil the train dispatchers on the Southern Pacific system. The member ship is about 2.(100. The demand was sub mitted several days ago and it is stated by the officers of the telegraphers' union that they have been promised an early conference with Vice President Krutt schnitt. The telegraphers' union in the I'ntted States is from 5O.000 to 00,000 strong. BALLAST THE TRACK." Santa Fe Strengthening a Weak Place in the Line. Dodge City, Kan.. Oct. 27. The civil en gineering force of the Santa Fe have been at work on th'e road east of Spearville. The work is the initial step to a very im portant improvement. A few weeks later a ballast force will begin operations east of Spearville and will work each way until the road is ballasted between Doelge City and Kinsley. This stretch of track has been too weak for the heavy engines and trains and has been one of the slow runs on the road. In future it will be one of the stretches where lost time may be made up. New Santa Fe Depot and Hotel. The Santa Fe has just begun the con struction of a new passenger station and hotel at Trfr.ielad. Col., costing about 000. The new buileling will be of Moorish architecture and will be heated by steam and lighted by 'electricity. -Very many handsome edifices have been erected by the various railway companies within the last half dozen years and the Santa Fe is not behind its contemporaries in atlding- to its facilities and contributing to the im provement of the cities which it serves. Head of Rock Island Car Service. E. E. Betts has been placed in charge of the car service for the Rock Island system. Formerly he occupied a sim ilar position with the Northwestern, later with the Seuthern, and then re turned to the Northwestern as a train master. Santa Fe to Issue Hotel Guide.

HOW IT'S BOI Indians Show Washburn Fine Points of Football. Smothered Topeka Players by Score of 41 to 5. CLEARLY OUTPLAYED. The Red Ken Could Not Be Stopped. Caldwell's Brilliant Kick Saved the Score. There was talk of swathing the clap per of the chapel bell at Washburn col lege in cotton batting Saturday after noon when the Washburn-Medic team left the gridiron and the Haskell Indians in disgust. It was feared that some practical joker might ring the bell and thereby peal forth grim humor over the decisive defeat of the Topeka eleven by the Indians by the score of 41 to 5. In fact before the game was over the defeated players rather looked upon the contest as a ioke. for it was better to look at it that way than any other. The Indians had hinted at "a practice" game beforehand, and had even intimated that a second team might be lined up against the Washburn-Medics. But no second team experiment was tried. The To peka players said that the zest was all taken cut of them in the start of the game by the rank decisions. If that is so it must have been mighty early in the game, for the Indians scored in four plays. 60 seconds after the kickoff. It is no discredit to the Topeka team that the victory did not remain at home. The Washburn-Medics put up a plucky contest against great edds. The Indians had the shade the bost on weight and a decided advantage in experience. Every Indian played the best of football at every stage of the game, and in the minutest details they ciearly outclassed their opponents. With Baine, Redwater and Archieiuette, all old Carlisle play lets, it could hardly beexpectea tnat tne Wasrburn-Medics, with men m the line who are seeing their first y?ar of foot ball on a first team, would be able to cope with them. The defeat will be like a Bull Run to the Washburn-Medics, for the placing cf the Indians will be a pattern for them to follow. But in spite of the overwhelming score the Topeka players distinguished themselves. It was just at the close of the first half that Washburn had th ball and determined to try for a place kick for goal. The ball was directly in front of the Indians' goal. The signal was given and it was apparent from the formation what the play would be. The giant Indian line was determined to block it. The baM went back to Smith, he held it for an instant and then Cald well, with the coolness of a veteran, sent it squarely between the posts, scor ing 5 on a field p-oal from the 47 yard line. The Indians had been unable to break the Washburn line to stop the play. It was the only time that the Sons of Ichabod scored. The time was called on the first half while the ball was sailing through the air. In the sec ond half Baine trieel for a field goal from about the same line and his at tempt was a dismal failure. The ball rolled eff the grounds at the corner of the field. Booth, the coach of the Nebraska team. wtk on hand to see how the In dians might play against his men. He was chesen with Tucker, the former K. TT. player, for the officials. Booth was rank, ranker than any corn that ever grew in Nebraska. The Topeka players were not suited with his tlecisions but there was no outbreak until soon after the second half started. Then Booth ruled Mehl off the field for slugging. It was claimed by Booth that Mehl haT sluggged Houser. The fact was that Houser and Mehl were badly mixed up in a scrimmage and it was apparent to the spectateirs ttv!t if Mehl slugged enough to justify his being ruled out of the game Houser was likewise guilty. Berth refused to rule Houser off the. field. Then the Washburn-Medic play ers went on a strike and refused to play unless Houser was also ruled oiT. Matters were finally aeljusted by Btoth bein ruled out of his position. Lloyd Stahl went in as umpire and gave entire satisfaction. Booth was far from Impartial. His attention was repeated ly called to the fact that Redwater and Houser were slugging enough for a prize fight. All this was before Mehl had in anyway offended. Booth is too much of the Hugo Felix brand of offi cial to give satisfaction. There was no occasion to rule Mehl out of the game as it was a Question whether he "slug ged" or not while there was no question as to the intent of Redwater and Hou ser. The rest of the Indian players put up a clean game. One thing Washburn has to learn and that is to stand up and take their medi cine no matter how bitter the dose. It was an unsportsmanlike proceeding for Washburn to threaten to leave the field unless Houser was also ruled out. When Booth refused to decide against Houser theWashburn players at once announced that they w-ould play no more. The In dians wasted no words at all but im mediately wrapped themselves in their blankets and started for the gate. The reason the visitors were so prompt to leave the field when the threat to quit was made, was that last season Wash burn was prone to quit at the least pro vocation, it may be said to the credit of Coach Gill that he favored the game being continued. The players, however, would not go on with the game until Stahl was put in as an official and the crowd had "begged" the wearers of the blue not to resort to that old time play in football parliance known as "playing the baby act." Washburn finally went on with the game after a long delay which disgust ed the crowd. It is hish time that To peka football players learn to accept the decisions of the officials. "It has gotten to that point that the people do not know whether to go to the games or not for fear that a wrangle will start and that the game will not be played out. The college football team relies upon the patronage of the public as so much per ticket to keep the expenses of the team from forcing the athletic association in to bankruptcy. The players are ever abusing the public for not pa'ronizing the games better but the players can expect poor patronage, and they deserve just what they can expect, so long as the wrangling and refusing to play epi sodes continue. A detailed account of the game would be but a repetition of the plays by the In dians. The ball was carried by Baine, Houser, Archiquette, Migeul and Dubois. The greatest gains were made by Baine and Archiquette, they scoring all the touchdowns. The Indians failed to make ground on their line bucking and the long gains were around the Washburn ends. The end runs were from 10 to 40 yards, several runs of 28 to 30 yards being made Baine made the first touchdown a min ute and a half after the play started and on the fourth play. The interference given the Indians with the ball was perfect and time and again the Washburn ends were systematically corralled. Occasionally Earnest and Stanl got into the interference only to be ruth lessly thrown aside by the runner the same as the villain In a melodrama could cast aside the heroine. The Washburn Medics displayed some very poor tackling methods and several times the Indian run ners would tumble two or three Washburn-Medics as they pranced down toward the goal alone. Smith at full back was plucky, but several times he went after the Indian runners only to be shaken off about as an elephant might shake off a kitten. Worseley did not play and Lakin was out of the game on account of an in jured leg. The Indians have had constant training for months. In fact they have been in training ever since last year and they dis pl lyed the worth of good training as a factor in football playing. The Washburn-Medics got the ball only fojr time-s and once, after a costly fumble, forcel the visitors to punt. The blaes tried the ends anel line plays against the Indians: and once or twice made small gains but more often lost. When the two lines went together for a "beer" it was about an even contest of strength with the advan tage slightly on the Washburn-Medic side. The Indians often made no gain when try ing the opposing line but easily made it up on the next play by trying an end. Hughes, the coach who played at tackle, put up a very poor game. When Mehl was ruled out Read took his place anel played the star game of the en tire Tojteka eleven Time and again it was Bead single-handed who broke i.p the In dians' interference and brought the run ner to the ground. Read is bmall. He weighs about 150 pounds, but he knows how to tackle and when he went for a man. no matter how big he might be, he brought him cierwn. It seemed to make no difference to Read whether it was the mighty Baine, the furious Houser. or the slipper Archiquette that carried the bail, for they all stopped when "Chicken" Read got hold of them. The line-up for the game was as follows: Washburn-Medics. Position. Haskell.

JXTLL LEASED "WIRE REP0HT 07 TSE ASSOCIATED PRS33. The State 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 publlca lon in Topeka. The news Is received in the State Jour nal building over wires foj this sole pur pose, busy through the entire day. A complete copy of the nifeht report is aso received. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is en Joying its biennial pastime of carrying Hissouri for the Republicans. It Is scarcely fair for Mr. Carnegie to continue to frighten Europe with the ghost of the American invasion. Ever since the close of the Spanish War we have been able to keep a live prince in this country a large part of the time. So far, it is not recorded that Secre tary Moody has committed himself on the subject of who won the Butte of Santiago. The attention of the cold water plat form orators is called to the statement that a beer cask burst at Detroit and killed a man. The Chicago News has been doing some figuring and has arrived at the conclusion that about half of the elec tion predictions come true. The coal barons 'appear to be in a mood to accept anv sort jnf a suggestion now. A sound thrashing has made many a man amenable to reason. The Delaware Republicans appear to have concluded to let the Democrats have the state. Neither Addicks nor his opponents are willing to surrender for the good of the party. The termination of a lawsuit in Hun gary which has been n the courts since 1370 is seized upon bv New Yorkers as a basis for a hone that the Molineux case may yet reach hji end. Through the mouth of Attorney Gen eral Knox, the president appears to have committed congress to control of the trusts, by announcing that it has ample power under the constitution to do so. The frequency with which Mr. Cleve land is appearing in a public way re cently may indicate that he is about to contest with Mr. Bryan the right to place under the center rays of the Democratic lime light. Once more has the country been saved through the mediation of Secretary Shaw. The surplus reserve in the asso ciated banks of New York mounted to over 17 million dollars above the legal requirements last week, a gain of 12 millions for the week. The strike arbitration commission be gan its sessions on Friday. If bad luck attend its deliberations, who will be the sufferer, the coal barons, the strikers, the public, the commission or the presi dent who was responsibe for flying in the face of the hoodoo? The New York Evening Post has re ceived from 44 professors of economics and kindred subjects in colleges east of Chicago replies to four questions pro pounded by it. Twenty-five out of 33 of the professors say that in their opin ion the powers of congress to control or restrain trusts have not been exhausted by the Sherman law. Twenty-three out of 42 favor amendments to the constitu tion to give congress additional power. Forty-one out of 43 favor the reduction or repeal of duties on articles whose production in this country is controlled by monopolies. Twenty-four out of 39 favor the appointment of a tariff com mission to prepare changes for the con sideration of congress. DEMOCRACY'S FUTURE. It seems inevitable that the result of the approaching election will have much to do with shaping the future of the Democratic party. A contest between the factions for supremacy is in prog ress, although nothing is being said about it. If Tom Johnson shall win in Ohio and Hill lose in New York, it Is almost cer tain that the Bryan wing will continue to dominate the Democratic councils. If on the other hand Hill shall succeed in electing Coler and the Republicans shall triumph over the Cleveland mayor In the Buckeye state, it will be almost impossible to prevent the old crowd from assuming direction of party affairs. If both Ohio and New York should be won or lost at the same time, then there would necessarily remain a situ ation not differing greatly from that prevailing at present, and harmonious action would be as far away as ever. The complexion of the next house is of little conseauence to the Democrats when compared with -the importance of ttie results in New York and Ohio. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Smoking Out the Coal Dealers. Washington Post: Over in New York they are taking the measure cf the local coal dealers with the utmost neatness and dispatch. In quiry has at last developed one su premely important fact,, which is that practically all the coal held by the deal ers cost them less than $5 a ton. There was p. lot of talk at first about the grasping "barons" and "operators" who were squeezing the helpless populace, and all the rest of it. That pleased everybody almost. A good shot at a baron is in order nearly every time. But it transpired, after a while, that the big operators had not raised their prices at all during the five months of the strike. It transpired, in fact, that they had been able to ship very little anthra cite at any price. Then followed, nat urally, the disclosure that the dealers had in store a much larger supply than they were willing to admit, and with this went the inevitable conclusion that they were working the public for exor bitant profits. Of course, the usual fairy tale of the wicked and remorse less speculator was trotted out. Dr. Jekyll was all right; the trouble was Mr. Hyde. The dealers wished nothing more than to sell coal to their custom ers at the usual modest profit of 40 or 00 per cent., but the heartless speculat ors would not let them. And so on. Like an oasis in the desert appears the statement of one dealer who in dulges in a sort of orgy of candor. He says to the newspapers: "We have charged any price we could get." This open-hearted pirate has not a word to say against the cruel barons or the ava ricious speculators. He knows that there is nothing in it. He is simnly a frank, outspoken skinflint who knows a good thing when he sees it and is not too squeamish to work it for all that it is worth. He "charged any price he could get!" He saw the situation as it waa, and he coined it into money for his purse. The others did the same thing exactly, but lied about it, and wept over their inability to get more. All this-talk about the ravaging coal barons, the insatiate speculators, and the wasting expense of "keeping open" during the long five months of idleness, was mere stupid and transparent men dacity. Investigation, coupled with such confessions as we have mentioned, has disposed of the silly fairy tales with which the New York coal dealers have been regaling their defenseless victims. It is now known to everybody that the coal which has been sold at $18. $20 and $22 a ton cost the dealers originally less than Cuba Must Act. New York Mail and Express. The Cubans continue to take their time in dealing with the treaty with this country. No doubt they think they are giving us a dose of our own medicine. There is. however, a considerable dif ference in principle between adminis trative temporizing and legislative de liberation. The Cuban government is able to bring no reproach either of pro crastination or of want of generosity against the president of the United States and his cabinet. But we now have the Cuban government delaying for months its approval or its rejection of the treaty with the United States, and allowing the senate to adjourn for an autumnal recess without having the matter placed before it. President Es trada Palma's disposition is known to be excellent, but it begins to look, as a greater president than he once said of his own case, as if he had very little influence with his administration. The Cubans have lately given expres sion to a great deal of foolish suspicion of the United States. If they are to be credited, we are craftily undermining their liberties the liberties we have given them: w-e are weavine wiles to get them competely into our net. Their delay in dealing with the treaty is pro bably due to a combination of this sort of suspicion and of tropical procrastina tion pure and simple. The American Republic has not the slightest reason for dealing craftily or treacherously with the Cuban Republic. It is in a position to do exactly as it pleases. It has dealt, In all administra tive relations, with perfect directness and fairness. It is dealing so still. It has made a proposition in the form of a treaty, which the CuDan government can take or leave. If it does not accept it, the Cuban people will be direct and immediate sufferers from its neglect. It is useless for the Cubans to try to play off European reciprocity against Ameri can reciprocity. They have but one market, and that is the United States. We have put forward a proposition to open that to them on fair terms, and it certainly devolves upon them to accent it or reiect it. The end of their "ma r.ana" business must certainly be very near. Indefinite delay cannot be tolera ted. JAYHAWKER, JOTS. Stockton is badly in need of more dwelling houses for rental purposes. Burrton has a ping pong cafe. "Hot ones" will be served over the counter. It was a Galena operator that said the coal strikes were being run in the ground. The pawpaw crop is so heavy in Cher okee county that old residents fear it means a cold winter. A colored man chased from Neodesha by a mob has sued the city for $1,000 on account of mental anguish." A Burrton citizen lost a duck coat. He might find it at the revival, where four teen converts were baptized during the week. A man who assisted the Neodesha mob in running a negro porter out of town went around the next day and applied for his job. A hungrv Decatur county badger ate 44 chickens for Farmer Gilkison, and the pastor's dog chased his bronze turkeys to death. Fred Badger is making so much money out of his weekly Neodesha Reg ister that he will start a daily to get rid Ol the surplus. The editor of the La Crosse Chieftain will have sausage and buckwheat cakes if one of his subscribers brings the pig along he hints for. While hunting eggs in the haymow the editor of the Oberlin Herald found a hole big enough to tumble through and dislocate his shoulder. Here in Shawnee county, where the fight on county attorney is bitterly con tested, both candidates are wishing for many happy returns. A Topeka woman who recently ap plied for a divorce has with her hus band kissed and made up. Most women can make up without kissing. And new water has spouted up in the old channel of the Republican at Con cordia. But isn't it only natural that there should be springs in the bed of a liver. Over 2,000 more voters have registered in Kansas' City. Kas., this fall than two years ago. Where there's boodle around It doesn't take an Arctic explorer to find the polls. Says the editor of the Jacksonian: "We stood on the streets Saturday, dead broke, nursing a morose opinion of life and a cur dog barking at our heels. In ten minutes we had taken in $11 on sub scription. We had beefsteak for sup per." QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. .The counterfeiter never makes good. The chronic kicker deserves to stub his toe. It doesn't bother the golfer to get in a hole. If all the world's a stage, the baker has a satisfactory roll. Paradoxical as it may seem, coal is up because most of it is down. It is safe to say that some authors would rather be president than write. ixook "I don't know who we are going to keep warm this winter." Nye "Easy. Just think over the coal strike situation, and that'll make you hot." The man with a clear conscience doesn't mind if people see through him. It's all right for a man to be a crank if he can be turned to advantage. Hoax "You can't do anything without money." Joax "Oh, yes, you can get in to debt. Some men sleep well because they have good consciences, and others because they haven't any. The difference between the farmer and filthy lucre is that one tills the soil and the other soils the till. In love absence may make the heart frow fonder, but the fellow who wants a sure thing w..l try presents. "Do you think you can support my daughter on $10 a week?" sternly asked the old man. "I'll try. If that's the best you can do," unhesitatingly answered young Nerver. "Dis Is an uncharitable world," remark ed the philosophical hobo. "Yep," re sponded his companion. ."About de only thing people want to give a feller now adays is work." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Brilliant words written in wine fade in colorless ink. The devil seems to know how to play any game that ever was invented. Books for the studious, prayers for the virtuous, women for the wise. A woman's idea of a crown comes pretty near to being one of nice curly hair. The first thing a girl does when she get interested In a man is to go and have her photograph taken so as to be ready when he asks for one. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago Dally News. What the train dispatcher says goes. To err may be human but to forgive is not. Model husbands are the men who never marrv. It is folly to offer a wise man a penny for his thoughts. Many a man thinks he needs p. wife- un til after he gets married. When a sensible man gets the worst of it he makes the best of it. Any man who really knows women does not pretend to understand them. Premonition ia what people think they have when they say "I told you so." An elastic currency is the kind that en ables a r:an to make both ends meet. Whether life is worth livins deopnis a good deal on your wiseness or otherwise ness. The employe who drops his tools at the first stroke of the clock will never become an employer An Ohio genius has invented an instru ment for piercing the ears without pain. Every third-rate vocalist should use one. WILL WORK QUIETLY. Plan to Secure Lower Freight Kates. It is the plan of John E. Frost, president of the Commercial club, to start the move ment for lower freight rates into this city quietly by the selection of a committee of men thoroughly acquainted and In sym pathy with the needs of the city in this respect, and to have the names of the members of that committee kept secret for awhile at least. In this way It will be less difficult to secure the services of men who can do the most for the cause of fairer treatment from the railroads without fear of mis treatment at the hands of the same. It was announced, however, this afternoon that no decision had been reached about the full membership of the committee. It is evident that already many of the large Topeka shippers are really Ignorant of the injustice which they have received at the hands of the transportation com panies, and the first duties of those who are interested in the new move will be to educate them up to their needs. BAILEY'S FATHER WORSE. He Is Gradually Sinking and the End Is Near. The latest reports from Baileyville state that the father of W. J. Bailey Is steadily sinking and that he is not expected to sur vive long. Mr. Bailey is keeping close by his father's bedside and it i not expect ed that he will leave at all to make any more speeches. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Taliessin S.

Eric Wahlgren of Fo:-t Riley, who wns injured some time ago by his horse falling on him, is visiting his mother at 421 Elmwood avenue. The ladies of the First Christian church will give a social and debate at the home of Dr. Graves, 601 Clay street, Tuesday evening. The subject for the debate will be "Shall old bachelors be taxed?" Judge Hazen decided this morning that Anderson Co. had no right to sue the Rock Island railroad in Justice Disney's court. The same ruling has been made before. There will be a meeting of those in terested in the project of a minstrel show between now and the holidays, at the rooms of the Commercial club this evening. The statement in the story of Mrs. Patrick Mullady's charges against May or Parker and the Topeka joints that she was ieft a widow without resources was evidently a mistake as the family is quite well provided for. Judge Hazen this morning decided that Mrs. Jennie Henderson was not en titled to a divorce from George Hender son. Judge Hazen this morning refused to grant a nev trial !n the case F. Lewis who secured a judgment against the Moeser Brothers for T1.000 for injuries received by a crane fallinfr. Mrs. Leslie Bard and her little son, from Florence, are visitins in Topeka.

Five Tear Meeting of the So ciety'of Friends Asks Christian People Every where to Lend a 11 and. CALLS A CONFERENCE To Meet in Washington, 1). C, in Year 1906 To Formulate a Plan for United Action Looking to the Suppression of Liquor as a Beverage. Indianapolis, Ind.. Oct. 27. The five year meeting of the Society of Friends today at their closing session issued the following call to all the Christian churches: To the Various Christian Bodies in the United States. Dear Brethren in Christ: We are con fident in the belief that the concensus of opinion of the professing Christians of our land is opposed to the evils of li quor traffic and we find a want of co operation in practical effort to give ef fect to this opposition because none of the propositions heretofore have met the approval of the general judgment of Christian people. We recognize thac this is the case in our own body and we believe it is likewise true of others. As a result, the church exerts far less inlluence than it should to prevent the evils produced by this great cause of poverty and crime and whici also is a most serious obstacle to the spread of the gospel. We are deeply impressed with the conviction that an earnest effort should be made to ascertain in what way Christians can exert a united inlluence in this cause and by what means they may work together. Upon what propo sition can we obtain a practical agree ment? We frankly confess that are we not competent to solve the problem, but we believe that by united action and a prayerful seeking lor divine enlight ment, with a willingness to approach the subject with an open mind, the uni ted church may find a way by which we can serve the cause ,of Christ and the good of mankind in seeking the ulti mate elimination of this stupendous evil. We therefore invite the governing bodies of the various denominations of Christians in the United States to ap point delegates to represent them in a conference to he held in the city of Washington, to begin on the second Wednesday of March in the year 1906. The decisions of this conference should be reached only in practical unanimity and therefor it is unnecessary to indi cate any limit to the proposed represen tations. We issue this invitation with an humble realization of the smaiKess of our body as compared with many others, but we do it under a deep sens-? that this dutv has been laid upon us iiid that God will use the proposed instrumentality for tht accomplishment of great ool to mankind and for the glory of IVi i:ht Believing I'.at this, propositi-!! will meet with your approval and practical co-operation we have appointed James Wind cf Mount Kisko. N. Y.', Rufus M. Jones, Haverford, Pa.; Timothy Nicholson, Rich mond, Ind. Benjamin F. Truenlood, Bos ton, and Edmund Stanley, Wichita, Kan., with one additional delegate from each of eleven yearly meetings to represent us at the conference. In the faith and love of Jesus Christ, we are your friends. "EDMUND STANLEY. "Presiding Clerk. "ELL WOOD O. ELLIS, "Recording Clerk." Signed by direction of the committee. TREES 31 AY HAVE TO GO. Those in Front of City Hall to Be Sacrificed. It Is probable that the two big elm trees at the north end of the city hall will have to be cut down to make it easier for the aerial truck to get in and lout of the building Now that the Vine. wood railway is laying its rails in fron: of the headquarters, it will be necessary to utilize every bit of the remaining space possible. When the two trees are cut out, the place which they occupy will be paved, thus making it posible for the truck to turn in shorter in getting back into the building. It will be necessary, so the firemen say. for the truck to be backed nto the building, as there is no way or driving in from the rear. MUST DO IT OVER. Tiling Contractors at State House Relay Floors. The contractors who laid the tile flooring on the ground floor of the state house are doing much of their work over again. John Stanton, state house architect, tested it and found that some of the tiling had not "set" in the ce ment. The executive council has com pelled the contractors to cut all such tiling out and set it over again. Conse quently the lower floor of the state house is a mass of debris once core. "We don't mean that there shall be any shoddy work done on the state house under this administration," said State Audtor Cole today. "Woik will have to be done right and according to contracts before it will be paid for." BOOTBLACKS' UNION. C. F. Ceilley Organized One at Law rence Sunday. C. F. Ceilley. who has been inuring the southeastern part of the state in the in terests of the American Federation of La bor, returned today from Lawrence, where Sunday he organised a union of the por ters and bootblacks and one of the paint ers. He will leave the early part of this week for Chanute and other towns in the south west, where he will continue his work. Mrs. Ceillv has arrived from St. Louis. Mo., and will take up her residence at 431 East Eighteenth street. They Stand by Mrs. Wagner. Resolved, by the Occult Science club of Topeka, Kansas, it being the only Spirit ualist organization In the said city of To peka and numbering several hundred members, that we have heard with re gret of the outrage that was perpetrated on one of our mediums, Mrs. Inez Wag ner, at her rooms on Tuesday of last week while holding a trumpet seance, and we denounce the same as cowardly, malicious and dastardly and knowing Mrs. Wag ner as we do, believe the statements of the man White that he saw Mrs. Wagner with the trumpet to her mouth as malic iously false and untrue and was only a part of a scheme by her rivals and en- emies to ruin her as they have threatened to do. Resolved, That we have implicit confi dence in the honor, honesty and truthful ness of Mrs. Wagner and in the genuine ness of her mediumship and believe her to be one of the best mediums Jn thewest ern country and the making of one of the best In the nation. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be published in each -of our daily papers and in the "Progressive Thinker" of Chicago. Signed, A. MARKLEY. President. G. B. PAYNE, Secretary. CLEARS THE BOARD. Figures Show Nearly All Pur chases Made in Kansas. Some time ago the Topeka Commer cial club passed a resolution censuring the state Jaoard of charities and correc tons for purchasing supplies outside of the state. Major T. J. Anderson, secre tary of the club, requested State Aud itor Cole to formulate a statement to show the comparative purchases made by the board of Kansas merchants and those outside the state. About the same time H. J. Allen, president of the board, made the same request, and Auditor Cole has done so. "The figures were taken from the vouchers which have been paid," said Mr. Cole today, "and they show that only 7.3 per cent of the total purchases I by the board have been from outside dealers. During this administration over iV, 000,000 has been spent with Kansas rc.eicnants, while only $89,000 has been I sent outside.

Anthracite Arbitration Commis sion Gets Down to Work. President Mitchell Makes State ment on Strikers' Behalf. Washington, Oct. 27. The anthracite strike commission met at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the hearing room of the interstate commerce commission. All the members of the commission were present. Mr. Mitchell, president of the Uniteu Mine Workers, and District President Fany appeared for the miners, and the coal carrying roads were repre sented as follows: President Baer, of the Philadelphia Reading; E. B. Thomas, chairman of the board of the Pennsylvania Coal com pany and Hillsdale Coal and Iron com pany; Alfred Walter, president of the Lehigh Valley; W. H. Truesdale, presi dent of the Delaware, Lackawanna Western; David Wilcox, vice president of the Delaware Hudson; B. Herr, vice president of the Scranton Coal company and Elkhill Coal and Iron company; J. H. Torrey, attorney for the Delaware Hudson, and Francis G. Wayne, attor ney for the Lehigh Valley company. Before opening the proceedings the members of the commission and the representatives of the contesting parties were photographed. Judge Gray, the president of the commission then read the order of the president creating the commission and in a general way out lined the procedure to be followed by the presentation of the issues. He sta ted that in accordance with the immor tal practice among English speaking peoples, the commission would first re ceive the statement of the miners who were to be regarded for the purposes of this case as the prosecutors. The reply of the other side would then be heard. Judge Gray said, in order that the com mission might have before it a definite issue. At the conclusion of Judge Gray's remarks President Mitchell stated that he had wit J him the formal demands made by the miners upon the operators and at the suggestion of Judge Gray he read the statement of the miners' de mands adopted by the Shamokin con vention, the rejection of which resulted in the strike. Walter Edwnrd Weil was also present -is a representative of the miners. The hearing room was crowded by the people interested in the case and with spectators. President Baer objected to the appear, anee of Mr. Mitchell as a representative of the United Mine Workers of America, but said he had no objection to offer against Mr. Mitchells appearance as a representative of the anthracite coal min ers. Mr. Baer's object was to avoid the recognition of the mine workers' union as an order. Mr. Mitchell replied that the objections raised as io his status were not involved in the case. He said that he did not ap pear as a representative of the anthracite coal miners and distinctly refrained in his reply from mentioning the union. Presidents Baer and Thomas suggested to the commission that it proceed at one-? to the coal fields in order that it miirht be informed at the outset as to the conditions there. It was agreed that Mr. Mitchell should file with the commission next Monday a detailed statement of the claims of the miners. I he statement he read today was a preliminary statement of the case. The representatives of the operators an- nounced that they would file an answer to the statement to De mea r.y hi.;.j Mp,t todav after a Inna- Illness Mitchell on Monday within three days of tiit time. It was suggested that each side to the controversy appoint an expert to go through the books of the coal company for the purpose of securing data on which to work but President Baer and other rep resentatives of the company tmmediately objected and suggested that they would furnish whatever information Is needed. This question precipitated a long discus sion in which the coal presidents and the miners' representatives took part. The commission decided to begin its in vestigation into the conditions in the an thracite coal regions Thursday of this week, commencing with District No. 1, in which Scranton is located.

In discussing the report of Attorney General Knox on tht validity of the title to the Panama canal, William N.

That subject was, by the Spoon er law, left absolutely to the determina tion of the president. "Only one matter remains to be settled," he said. "That is the conclusion of a treaty with Col ombia. It will be recalled that the Hay Concha treaty of May 18 last was ap proved by these ministers.

"Why am I against Balie Waggener? Simply because Balie Waggener is against the farmers co-operative move ment in this state and no intelligent farmer should support him nor should any man who believes Uiat the indi vidual has rights as against a railroad corporation. The Missouri Pacific Rail road company has not granted the farmers co-operative association a sin gle lease anywhere in the state for th purpose of erecting a co-operative ele vator to my knowledge. "We have only three elevators on their line of road and each of those have been purchased. We have tried at various places to secure leases and have failed in each and every case. For ex ample up at Harlan, Kan., where there is but one elevator the farmers have a strong organization and desired to build a ten thousand bushel elevator but upon the recommendation of Balie Waggener this lease was refused and up to this day we have not been able toi erect an elevator at that point although the farmers stanS ready to do so.

Now this is not a political matter with me it is "a matter of business. I am working for the up building of the farmers co-operative movement. "Out in the Thirtieth judicial district, comprising the counties of Saline. Lin coln, Ellsworth and Ottawa.,.. R. R. Reese is running for judge on the Re lican ticket and T. L. Bond has the fu sion nomination. I want to see Mr. Reese defeated because he has been an enemy to the farmers' co-operative movement. When we were in our in fancy and struggling for our rights he took up the fight against our people at Delphos and did everything in his pow er to prevent their seeming a lease from the Union Pacific, on which to build an elevator. He did this of course as at torney for the grain trust. Two years ago the grain trust endorsed Reese for a iilace on the board of railroad com missioners and did its best to get him appointed. Some people excuse a lawyer when he works in the interest of a trust for money. But my view of such matters is that any other citizen has just as much right to sell their influence to il legal eooIs and combinations as has a lawyer. Regardless of the rights of the farmers and regardless of the imposi tions and extortions practiced on them, Mr. Reese did all in his power to assist the trust in holding them in subjection regardless of the injustices heaped upon them by trust members at that point. The farmers of Delpho finally won not withstanding the fact that Mr. Reese did al1 in. his v Wfr :n prevent it. The rnil :oad cornm;uoners na the railroad offi cials conceded the equity and right of farmers to protect themselves and had 't not been that Mr. Reese took up the fipht of the trust regardless of their legal o-. moral rights, the farmers would have met with little opposition and would not have bpen forced to the inconvenience, loss of time and money which it took to secure their ripht at .Delphos. "Therefore, I am against, him and do not see how it is posj'hle for any fatr minded, intelligent farmer or citizen wl: believes that farmers have rights that should be respected can vote for him. "Actuated from a business standpoint every trust grain dealer in their respective districts wii pupport Waggener for rep resentative and Ree?e for judge. Actuated from the same business standpoint every farmer and every friend to the farmers co-operative movement should vote against these candidates regardless of the party they represent. One is a Democrat, the other is a Republican. "Trust members vote for theii friends, those who will promote their interest no matter on what ticket their names are found. Farmers and their friends should use the same policy vote for those who work in their interest regardless of party and renounce their enemies." Butler was formerly active in the Pop ulist party.

G TOPEKA STATK JOITRNAL, MONDAY EVENING. OCTOBEK 27, 1302. A TRIP INTO THE UNKNOWN. Reconnaissance from Fort Ham lin to Kotzebue Sound. Report of Walter C. Mendenhall of Geological Survey. LIVES ARE BEING LOST Ou Account of Previous Lack of Information. Physical Features of Alaska North of the Yukon. Washington, Oct. 27. Frc-f essional Taper United States Geological Survey Ko. 10, now in press, consists cf an illustrated report by Mr. Walter C. Men denhall of a reconnaissance from Fort Jiumlln to Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, by way of Dall. Kanuti. Allen and Kobuk rivers. This reconnaissance, says Mr. Mendenhall, was carried out in pursu ance of a plan which has beeji followed tor some years by the United States geological survey in the topographic and geologic exploration of the little known parts of Alaska, and in the collection of such information as will be of value not only to the scientific world, but to th-l prospector, the miner, and the trader. Lives are being continually lost be cause the location and character of trails, drainage ways, mountain ranges and passes are unknown, or because the knowledge which a few possess is not in a form available for the use of oth ers. Capital disappears, and years are wasted by prospectors who push out byond the frontier and pursue their search for gold where gold does not exist. Gradually the great waterways and mountain systems are being mapped, and reliable information is being gath ered concerning the distribution of tim ber, the numbers and character of the native inhabitants, and the presence or absence of game all matters of vital Interest to the traveler who, whatever his object, ventures away from the great central waterway of the Yukon or from the fur trading stations on other streams. The route was from Seattle, about the middle of May. 1901, to Skagway at th head of Lynn canal: thence tr Dawson, Fort Yukon and Fort Hamlin, and on up the Dall river to Dall City; thence across to and down the Kanuti river to Bergman on the Koyukuk: th,ence into and up the Allen river and across the jwrtage to the Kobuk river, down the Kobuk to Kctzebue Sound, and back by steamer from Nome to Seattle about the middle of October. The distance trav eled from Fort Yukon, on the Yukon river, to reering on Kotzebue Sound, was 1,169 miles. The region under consideration first became definitely known to Europeans through the voyage of Lieutenant Otto von Kotzebue, a German in the Russian service, who, while in command of the brig Rurik. discovered Kotzebue Sound In 1810. Since then a number of expedi tions along the coast and into the in terior of the region have been made, in cluding the remarkable mid-winter journey of 1.500 miles from the coast north of Bristol Ray to Point Rarrow, made in 1S97-98 by Lieutenant Jarvis and Rertholf and Dr. Call, of the reve nue cutter Bear, for the relief of whalers imprisoned at Point Barrow. The most important physical features of that part of Alaska lying north of the Yukon is a great mountain range, the Endicott countains. from 3.000 to 7,000 feet high, extending from the Arctic coast just north of Kotzebue Sound eastwnrd and northeastward to and beyond the international boundary between the Porcupine river and the Arctic ocean. North of this range the cold vctic storms may bo expected at any time throughout the year; south of It. the summers are hot and bright, though short. North cf thp range the country is timberless; south of it. trees are more or less abundant throughout the river valleys. The, Emiicott moun tains form a general divide between the arctic tirainage proper and the rivers flowing into Bering sea and Kotzebue Sound, the largest of which is the Koyukuk. about 700 miles long. After discussing the local gcography and the geology, and noting that the country between the Yukon and Koyu kuk is free from all evidences of glacial action, the report takes up briefly the economic geology of the region. An eleven foot bed of lignite coal is found on oCal creek, about one mile above Its entrance into Dall river, of which, four or five feet are apparently of stood quality. The outcrops of lignites along the banks of the Kobuk are from six Inches to three feet in thickness, and are probably valueless economically. The reports of the occurrence of coal elsewhere in the region are as yet un confirmed. Prospecting for gold on the Dall. the Allen, the Noatak, and the Kobuk rivers has so far failed to de velop anv deposits of value. Some $25. 000 of gold was taken out of the Kotze bue Sound district in the late summer of 1P01, but another season's work will be required to give any proper idea of the richness of the Candle creek dis trict. At the mouth of the Dall river is a settlement of Yukon Indians who are prone to decline to work for strangers, even at $5 a day, unless thev are in need of supplies. On the Kanuti river is a Fimilar fishing settlement of perhaps 75 Koyukuk Indians, who exchange game nnd fur with the traders or work for the Koyukuk miners. Much the most enterprising and reliable of the native pennies encountered are the Eskimos of the Kobuk valley. -some 250 in num ber in 19l. who proved themselves efficient laborers and seem intelligent and imitative and anxious to learn Eng lish and civilized ways. Winter temperature of 60 or 70 de grees below zero are reached for a few davs at a time tn this interior region adjacent to the arctic circle, but durin these severely cold periods it is usually perfectly calm. The more dangerous times are those of hie-her temperatur e and wind. At such times man cannot face the "ales and live. The summers are short, but warm enough to be pleas ant, the months from tl-e middle of June to the middle of September being avail able for travel by the waterways or fur prospecting. The moscuitos and tne gnats are well nigh intolerable nuis ances during the summer. Salmon was the main food of the natvs living on the Koyukuk and the Kobuk be. for? the arrival of the trader with their ptores. Waterfowl are plentiful along oil of the streams, since they breed in gr:at numbers in the lakes and ponds of tne tundra. Geese, ducks and ptarmigan are numcrovs. Caribou are found in the reeion about the head of Kanuti river: a few mountain Fheep are in the higher country: blnc-k bear are distributed throughout the dis trict: moose are rare, being found chiefly toward the south and east in the Yukon drainage basin: smaller animals are plen tiful in certain localities. Spruces, cottonwoods. birches and wil lows are generally found at the lower lev els throughout th district traversed, the southern and eastern sboreR of Kotzebue Bound excepted: but the trees are usuallv small. Grasses sufficient for food for pack animals grow as far north as the party went. Red currants and cranberries are found; bilberries are widely distributed, and salmon berries grow on the tundra every where: hardy and showy flowers tire abundant during the short summer sea son. Collections of the flora of the region were made, cf which the classified lists are published in the report. BACK TO OYSTER BAY. President Goes Home This Week to Ilemain Till Election. Washington, D. C, Oct. 27. President Roosevelt has arranged to go to Oyster Bay this week and remain there until election day when he will cast his vote and then return to Washington. Nearly all of the members of the cabinet are away and many of the subordinate of ficials at the departments are taking an active part in the campaign. Mr. Roose velt has completed the outline of the message he will send to congress at the opening of the session in December. It is understood that the president will follow the line of his speeches, and will urge that congress go as far as it can within its constitutional limitations to curb and regulate monopolis and or ganizations dangerous to public wel fare. He will again urge publicity and probably recommend the pasage of a bill, which, it is now understood', will be prepared by Attorney General Knox, and be introduced in the house by Representative Littlefield. The coai strike and the president's action to bring about a settlement will be discussed in the message, but the president will withhold his writing of that portion un til the last, in view of a possible report early in December by the commission that is going to take up the question. Should the commission not be ready to report by that time, the president prob ably will reserve any pointed discussion of labor and capital questions until the report has been received. He can then transmit this report to congress in a special message, accompanied by his own recommendations. The creation of a tariff commission will also be recom mended. Mr. Roosevelt will do the greater part of the work on his message when he returns from Oyster Bay. He has decided in a general way, however, what be will recommend. It is probable that Secretary Root will recommend to congress that the Porto Rican provisional regiment of infantry be made part of the regular army of the United States. A general order is now being prepared at the war depart ment providing that the strength of the Porto Rican regiment be reduced sim ultaneously with the reduction of the regular forces. The order will direct that the organization consist of eight companies of sixty-five men each. Un der the law the Porto Rican regiment is not an actual part of the regular army, although it is commanded by a com missioned officer of the army. The other officers, some of whom are native Porton Ricans, hold provisional com missions. It is believed that a recom mendation will be made to congress miking the regiment a part of the per manent regular forces and giving the officers permanent commissions. REVIEWED BY THE KING 4,000 Returned Guardsmen Listen to an Address. London, Oct. 27. King Edward re viewed today nearly 4.000 guardsmen who have recently returned from South Africa. The king afterwards addressed the troops, welcoming them home. He praised the work which they had done in the field, saying: 'You have upheld the great namti which has made everybody who has served in the guards a proud man. I, myself, feel proud to have as a young man served in your ranks, though I re gret I never had the opportunity, like my brother of seeing active service. A finer body of men it is impossible to wish to see. "It is a proud day for me to have in spected the guard's brigade." In spite of their arduous duties in South Africa, the king remarked the men had not forgotten their drill and the march today was as well done if not better carried out than ever before. The queen and other ladies of the royal family drove past in carriages. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the troops gave hearty cheers for the king. The Pope's Doctor Has Appendicitis.

COFFEE FLYERS, Can Be One if You Stick to It. The coffee habit is as injurious as other drug habits of the same nature. Don't think so? Well, dig in and see The system craves a stimulant more and more until finally the victim wakes up. When we are as fortr.euate as Mr, James D. Kimble of Northampton, Mass., to realize that we have got to stop or the penalty will be severe, it is a little startling at first to consider. He says, "I was an inveterate coffee drink er during twenty years of my life. The first ten years I experienced no ill effects from the coffee but its insidious working brought forth a train of evils later on. I became very nervous and irritable, in fact left all the time as if I should 'fly to pieces.' My nerves were all unstrung and I craved coffee as a toper does liquor, in truth I was a 'cof fee toper.' My appetite became very poor and solid food repugnant to the sight: dys pepsia atid indigestion were my insep arable companions and food did me but little good. About four years ago a friend advised me to try Postum Cereal Food Coffee. I was loath to believe that coffee was the caue of my trouble therefore I did not have much faith in Postum. nevertheless I commenced its use and from the very first I experi enced a decided benefit. My appetite re turned, food began to taste natural and did me "ood. My nervousness gradual ly disappeared; the brain became clear, the loss of strength and flesh arrested and the stomach gradually strengthen ed. Life seemed once more worth living and the continued use of Postum has not disappointed me. To me coffee proved slow poison. I have found Pos tum to be a builder and sustainer of the system and I heartily recommend it to the slaver! of coffee, without a single reservation." Mr. Kimble mentions in his letter many of his friends in Northampton who have recovered health and strength from using Postum on his recommendation. 13,000,000 s Demand of the Naval Bureau of Ordnance for Next Year. Ten Millions to Be Devoted to Arming New Ships. ROYALTY IS REDUCED. Krupp Armor Is Now Secured at a Lower Cost. No Improvement Is Noted in Submarine Boats. Washington, Oct. 27. Admiral O'Neill, chief of the naval bureau of ordnance. i in his annual report made public today says tnat tne oranance uuretiu wojui $13,182,806 next year, of which amount $li.000.000 is to be devoted to arms and armament for new ships. The gun shop at the Washington navy yard during the past year turned out 234 guns, pre pared sets of forgings for 146 more and has sixty-five in course of manufacture. The bureau is preparing a new type of three inch gun 50 calibre in length of a semi-automatic character to replace all guns of this size now in use in the navy. Admiral O'Neill says that for the first time in years the manufacture of armor has progressed in a satisfac tory manner, 7,612 tons having been de livered at the various ship yards dur ing the year, with prospects of largely increasing deliveries. No improvement worth speaking of seems to have been made in the quality of armor of late. Guns, powder and projectiles have each made a decided advance, rendering it all the more necessary that there should be an im provement in the quality of the armoi but none seems to be in sight at present. Recently the armor manufacturers vol untarily made a reduction of 10 shillings per ton on the royalty for the Krupp process. With the exception of ignition and shell nowedr. no black or other than smokeless powder has been purchased or manufactured for the navy since the Spanish American war. All new ships beginning with the Kearsarge and Ken tucky have been supplied wltn outfits of smokeless powder, and in addition, some thirty of the older vessels have been thus supplied. The manufacture of smokeless pow der during the past year has progressed in a satisfactory manner, so far as quality is concerned, but not so much as to the amount delivered. So far as the stability of the smokeless powder is concerned, the results of the year's work have been of the most satisfactory character and wdth few exceptions the ballistic qualities of the powder have remained unchanged. A novel experiment is now under way, with the purpose of indicationg any injurious change that may take place in smokeless powder by incorporating in it a fugitive coloring matter, such as rosanitine. The most interesting event during the year in connection with projectiles is the develonmnt of a new type of shell, combining the advantages of the armor piercing with the common shell; that is, having the perforating power of the reg ular armor-piercing projectile with the capacity for a large bursting charge. The requirements for these shells on test are that at a prescribed velocity they shall completely perforate, unbroken, a plate of hard-faced, armor, a calibre in thickness, and .to be in condition for effective bursting. A number of shells of this description have been ordered, and the first three lots have success fully passed the requirements. These shells are fitted with soft caps. A novel device tried during the year was the "tracer." which renders a shell visible during the night to the gunner but invisible to the persons at the tar get, this being accomplished by the in sertion of a burning composition in the base off the shell. The use of electric power for handling gurts and turrets is unqualifiedly en dorsed as better than any other system. Admiral O'Neill finds that the best way to illustrate the tremendous devel opment of artillery in late years is to cite two cases, that of the six-inch gun and the 12-inch gun. The former used to weigh only 4.S tons, was only 30 cal ibres in length, with a muzzle energy of 2,773 foot tons and a practicable rate of fire of two and a half aimed shots per minute. The. new type is 50 calibres in length, uses smokeless powder, weighs eight tons, can be. fired eight times per minute, and has a muzzle energy of 5, 838 foot tons. In other words, it is 603 per cent, more powerful than the old gun. The 12-inch gun shows an increase in energy over the old gun of 35 per cent. Admiral O'Neill says that no such rate of increase is looked for in the near fnt. -re. There is to be a general renovation of the batteries of the older ships, and it is said that new batteries will be placed on the Baltimore and New. York, the Newark and the Albany. It is recommended that the Philadel phia be given a new battery of six Runs, which would make her fit for many years more of service. The bureau is considering the feasibility of replacing the present turrets of the Oregon, In diana and Massachusetts with new elliptical balanced turrets, adding material- to their efficiency. Admiral O'Neill has much to say re specting speed versus armament. HoJ argues tnat a snip is naturally a com promise between various necessities, and says: "All nations are afflicted with the speed craze at intervals, and this coun try is no exception, and unless eacn batch of new vessels can equal or be-it the world's record they are usually characterized as failures, and in defer ence to public sentiment the tendency is to design vessels cf the highest possible speed, irrespective of the uses for which they are intended, and in consequence enormous sums of money have been ex pended by several countries in producing large and fast vessels which have but trifling value for fighting purposes." Admiral O'Neill further says: "It al ways has been the policy of the United States to provide its vessels of all classes with great battery power; that is, to so arm them that they shall be superior to foreign vessels of equal clas3 in that respect, and that sentiment still prevails: and while we have in a few instances subordinated all other matters to speed it is not likely to occur again, nnd the consensus of opinion at the present time is in favor of applying large percentages of weight for armor and armament rather than to assigning it for the purpose of attaining the last possible fraction of a knot of speed. The bureau is convinced that no mistake ha3 been made in the adjustment of speed, armor and armament of these vessels. The best vessel is not necessarily the one that can most quickly get in or out of battle or keep out of battle, but is rather the one that can remain in bat tle the longest after she gets there. "It is sale to say that any vessels of this class, of equal displacement, having a higher speed, are deficient in some or the ether important qualities which these vessels possess." Of submarine boats the report says that no complete developments have takn place during the past year, either here or abroad, though quite a number of those vessels have been built or are in course of construction. The seven boats ordered for the United States navy are nearly finished and will soon have' their official trial. Admiral O'Neill went to Europe last summer and looked over the great naval ordnance works there. He says he was deeply impressed with what he saw, but makes no comparisons between the differ ent establishments, merely remarking that different methods, all equally good, are preferred in different countries with re spect to gun construction. He declares, hefvever, that while there are no sucii establishments in this country in point of size and capacity as many of the ordnance factories of Europe, it is gratifying to know that such as we have do not suffer in comparison with any of them in re gard to the character of work or the method of performing it. The last chap ter oi the report is devoted to an urgent pica for the better instruction of officers and men in gunnery: Admiral O'Neill wants more and better gun pointers, and he especially urged young officers, each xc take up at least one feature of ordnance work, mechanical or chemical or mathe matical, or in connection with torpedoes and to master it thoroughly. As show ing how thoroughly the work of improving the gunners is going on, it is stated that three battleships of the North Atlantic squadron alone expended for target prac tice during 12 months, a quarter of a mil lion dollars worth of ammunition. TERRIFYING ROAR Accompanies the Eruption of Santa Maria Volcano. New York. Oct. 27.

HOGS TAKE A DROP. Quotations Are from 10 to 15 Cents Lower. Stocks Show Kesnit of Lower Prices Abroad. Chicago, Oct. 27. Large world's ship ments, liberal receipts in the northwest and lower cables all combined to cause a weaker tone to the wheat market at the opening day. The local crowd were in clined to the bear side and offered freely while the buying was scattered. Large shipments were reported from the Black sea district which also had a depressing influence. Room trading early was light and prices hfld about steady. December opened unchanged to V4ftVic lower at 72"4g: 72 to 72c, sold down to 7214c, but at the decline shorts were fair buyers and the price rallied to '72'g72c. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 1,212 cars, which with local receipts of 193 cars, 3 of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 1,045 cars against 1,400 cars last week and 1,023 cars a year ago. Export demand caused a firm feeling and December sold up to 72c, but de clined again to 72V4c. The close was 'AC higher at 72?ic. Corn opened weaker on continued fine weather for the movement and larger local receipts than estimated. Trade was small, being among pit traders. Local longs were disposed to unload and there was some liquidation of both December and May holdings. December opened c lower at 51c to 51 c, selling do-n early to 51Hc Local receipts were 2S2 cars, 47 of contract grade. The latter half of the recession of corn held firm. December rallied to 51c, but weakened slightly toward the close which was ktftxvic lower at .-l?iolc. Oats opened slightly lower in sympathy with lower prices in other grains and trading wa a continuation of that mani fested during the past few days there be ing no special features to the market. December opened H to WUhic lower at 31fi314c to 31Hc and early sales ranged within a narrow limit. Local receipts were 301 cars. Provisions opened lower on heavy re ceipts of hogs at the yards which sold at lower prices. There was some selling by commission houses of pork, but offering were readily taken by local shorts and the early loss was largely regained. Jan- uray pork opened 10c lower at $15.o0: Jan. uary lard was 214c lower at $9.12, and ribs were 5c lower at $S.15.

WHEAT Unchanged Liverpool cables, liberal receipts both in the northwest and southwest and two and a quarter million increase in the visible supply for the week were the bear factors today and the mar ket started with St. Louis and the south west trade liberal sellers. Sales were so easily absorbed, however, that the bear crowd were tarried off their feet. complete ly dumbfounded, that the market should show such resistance in face cf staiistics that woidd have caused a panic two years ago. World's shipments were heavy, al most 13 millions, while clearances were small. The cash situation is firm in spire of heavy receipts. Foreign and domestic demand are both excellent. The futures are firm and sales are going into strong hands, especially for the May delivery. Chicago and northwestern hous?s are very friendly to the long side of wheat, while all other- markets are being sold to a standstill and the outside trade bearish. It begins to look liWse a bull campaign is being started and believe wheat is a safe purchase anywhere around present quota-tior.s- CORN Corn was weak and did not share the strength in wheat. Receipts arc increasing and indications are the new crop will soon commence to move just c.s fast as railroads can furnish cars. Cables were d higher. Visible increased 2o7.0K bushels. A bull market in wheat might cause a sharp advance in corn, and if it does, sell it on the hard spots. OATS Oats dull and featureless. The price looks high. PROVISIONS Provisions were steady In spite of heavy run of hogs. Packers were moderate buyers of both January and Mav pork. Estimated receipts o hogs to morrow, 22,000 head. A. G. GOODWIN.

Prices declined abruptly and dealings wore in larger volume than for some time. All the leading stocks were affected and the pressure was quite general, but if any thing, more pronounced in the soft coiil stocks. Losses ran from 1 to 2 point" and included practically every stock of importance on the list. Prices steadied momentarily and .there was some recovery, but the movement was hesitating and business was very small on the rebound. Reports of labor dissatis faction in the west and the uncertain local monetary conditions encouraged bear sell ing and liquidating of long stock by tired holders. Toward midday St. Paul was soid anew and dropped 214 points, to caus ing a setback all around.

While the volume of business did not in crease to any decided extent, sales of in dividual blocks were in large amount. The mark t was absolutely lifeless dur ing the great part of the afternoon and many attempts to rally were made by in creased offerings of stock which put the loss to a lower level.
