Sharon Springs, Kan., May 4. The two proudest little girls in Kansas to day are Anna Bracken and Myrtle Coats, who live fifteen miles from Sharon Springs. They shared the pew of the president of the United States at his Invitation In the services here Sun day, he held his hymnbook for the.n to Fins from, and when the service closed he shook hands with them and told them how plnd he was that they had shared in his worship. This incident illustrates why Theo dore Roosevelt has such a hold upon the hearts of the people. He is thor oughly human. He is constantly show ins a friendly interest in the people he meets, :ind his kindly, jrtnial nature makes them forget that he is President. Roosevelt, the head of the greatest na tion on earth, but only "Teddy" Roose veit, thdr friend and champion. Another Incident of the same character took pl:toe immediately after the ser vice. The president had passed out of the little church ahead of the people but instead of starting at once witii his party for his train, he waited until the people canie out, and there on the broad prairie that he loves, with the Wue sky above and his head bared to the prairie breeze, the president of the Cnited states, the equal of the greatest of earth's monarehs. gave an informal reception to the people of the farms and ranches. it was a great thin? the act of :i meai man.

The Shan.n springs people some time secure,! a large tent from Kansos City, with a v to holding the service in' that in order to accommodate all the people, but Mr. Lnph, secretary to the presi dent, fenring something of the spec tacular, promptly vetoed the arrana--rr.nt and the tent was shipped back to Kansas Cit It is true that the little church would not hetrin to hold the people who wanted to attend the service, for it seats onlv nbout 20". at,d not more than tw ii'e that, number could crowd into it. Tie balance stationed themselves at the windows as far as possible. There were probably a thousand peo ple on the townsite. They began com ing early In the morning." The ranches for fifty miles around contributed. On bronchos, in lumber wagons and in car riages the people came, and the trails leading over the hills in Sharon Springs were used more than they nave been before for years. The service was held tit 11 o'clock. Fix pews were reserved for the presi dent and his party and the newspaper men. The president, followed by Sena tor T.ong and Senator Burton, walked up the center aisle of the church. The president ushered the two senntors into hi pew. and the bain nee of the party filled the other pews, but there was still room for two perrons in the presi dent's pew. The first thing after lie coming seated the president bowed his bead a few moments in silent prayer. Follow incr the party came a number of little girls, who took their seats around the edge of the platform. Little Misses Coats' and Bucklin were the last ones fnd the space was filled before they got seats. Then the president came to the rescue and motioned for them to come into his seat, ushering them in past him. The little girls accepted the invitation w ith an innocent inieonsc iousress of the honor which was theirs. When the hymn was announced and the congre gation rose to sing, the president held his hymn book for them to sing from, find they joined their voices with his i-i nn unembarrassed but modest manner which greatly plasd the president. The girls realized nothing of their honor until the services were over. Then as the people crowded around and spoke to them about it and the newspaper men asked for their names, they sud denly became conscious of the fame which was theirs, and they became so excited that their teeth "fairly chat tered.

A I 1 l( tti 7f MfTHQDiS f CM'jficii.- WFiF:RK FRKS1T1EXT ROOSEVELT ATTENDED SERVICES AT SHA KON SPRINGS. Ellsworth district of the northwest Kansas conference, in whose district Sharon Springs is located, presided over the service, as the church has no regu lar pastor just at present. The invo cation was ptonounced by Rev. E. J. Stevens, pastor of the Christian church at Coodland. The congregation, stiil standing, sang the long meter doxology, and Rev. Dr. Carter read as the scrip ture lesson the tenth chapter of Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians. Rev. Mr. See offered a strong praper. and the congregation sang "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name." The text of Dr. Carter's sermon was first Corinthians 10:11, "Now all these things are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." DR. CARTER'S SERMON. The sermon was a masterly dis course, and dwelt largely along lines which the president' himself has em phasized that character is the basis of achievement. The choir, composed of 12 voices, sang in a simple manner the anthem, "Come Into Me, All Ye That Labor." It was impressive because the choir had not attempted more than it could perform and therefore the selection was well rendered. The audience sang "America," the benediction was pronounced by Rev. John Wikstrand, a Swedish-Lutheran minister of Assaria. Saline county, and the service was over. The congregation lemained seated, however, until the president and his party had passed out. Then it was that the president broke over the rule not to shake hands wdth a crowd. A minute after he was out of the building he was surrounded by the throng, all eager to touch his haiTT And there in the open prairie a short distance from the little church, he held an informal reception until the entire crowd had passed. Then he turned to Rev. Dr. Carter and Rev. Mr. See, who were standing behind him, and thanked them earnest ly for the service. He looked around then fur Rev. Mr. "VVikstrand, the Swedish Lutheran minister. "Where in Mr. Wikstraad?" he asked. "I am especially anxious to meet him." Tbm elevating his voice the president called, "Mr. Wlkstrand." and started off through the crowd to find hinv, but without success. Then the president led the way down the long slope back to his train. TAKES A HORSEBACK RIDE. In the afternoon the president took his horsebai k ride. Ot 3 o'clock accom panied by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia, Surgeon General Rixey. and Senators Long and Burton, he rode off over the prairies to the north. He wore a riding suit and slouch hat. A thousand people crowded around the ropes surrounding the train to sse the start. There was nothing fancy about any of the mounts they were simply good substantial cow ponies, with ordi nary tow boy saddles. The horse in tended for the president, however, had been decked out with ribbons and pa per sunflowers, and the saddle was dec orated with bunting. But the president would have nothing of the kind. The (kcorations all had to come off before lie mounted. When the party had ridden about six miles, Dr. Butler and the two senators dropped out and came back, but the president and Dr. Rixey went nine miles turther. They returned to the tiain at 6 o'clock, having ridden thirty miles in three hours. As they came down the slope the president led in a inisk canter, riding his horse with the ease of any cowboy and as fresh as when he started. President Roosevelt's trip through Kansas Saturday was one continued ova not, At everv village and town, no matter whether the presidential train I was scheduled to stop or not. there was sure to be a crowd in waiting to see It nass. while flags were flying and bunt ing streaming everywhere. The president made eighteen speeches on the trip from Toneka to Sharon Springs. Some of them were only a s-.nt.ence or two in length, others were of considerable length. The speeches were made at St. Marys. Wamego, Man hattan. Junction City, Chapman, Abi lene. Salina. Ellsworth, Wilson, Dor rence. Russell. Victoria, Hays. Ellis, Wa-Keeney. Grainfleld, Oakley ami Sharon Springs. The pr sident's versatility of mind is exenmlitiei by the variety of his speeches. What he says is generally suggested by some incident at the out set. At Char-man a boy handed a foot ball im to him as a present as soon 83 the train stor-T-ed, and this gave him his text. At Salina the great number of college students in the crowd suggested the to;iic. AT A in BENE. The most elalwirate decorations were at Abilene, and here, too. the president I made his longest speech, probably be- cause it is the home of Senator Burton i A larcre arch had been erected over the j pathway leading from the train to the 'stand in the middle of the public square adjoining the railroad track. The I pathway was carpeted with white and I on e:tver side w as a row- of little gn is dresse 1 in whit0 who strewed flowers m front of the president. After boine; introduced by Senator Bin ton the president said: "It is a iJeasure to come to the home of Senator Burton, in which he has spent a ouarter of a century of his life, and to be greeted by his neighbors, and I thar.k you. senator, and T thanlr you all ior the cou:-tesy you have extendeei to me. I want to thank here for the tirs time a hoiy of your people befor I thar.k the Orfnd Army the small people, those little girls who greeted me and who threw the flowers down as we nassed. T am very much obliged to you. and T greet you and I greet all the cht'dren hete today. And I know you ni n of th Grand Army do net mind my having put them first. They are the futnr-e pr.i reip.-'tp it is for the gen eration of the fotvre when they live in a state, in a country, in a city where they have in evidence before them the ort-ibization of the men to whom we owe it that wa have a country. Great though the deeds were that you did in the past, great though their effect was. n. .thine can be greater than the ex ample you thus gave to those who are coming up. who are to be the Americans ot tomorrow. I want to thank the ban.l. r.nd say I recognized in the tune the war tune of the Twentieth Kansas, and 1 r-.eord it in the trenches myself. "It has been a great pleasure to come through Kansas. I know Kansas well. It is the first time I have been here as president, but I hive been here often before, and you are partly responsible for having me here as president. (Ap plause). I am glad to have the chance of meeting you, the men and women of this great state. I congratulate 'you upon the material products of the state, upon your corps, upon your Industries of every, kind. I have been through your cities that are railroad centers and that are growing to be centers of manu factures; but after ail the prime prod uct of any state must be its men and women. That is what counts; and those men and women have got to have two sets of qualities if they are to make their slate and their nation a source of pride for the ages. Two sets, the strength and the sweetness that have been held essential from the days when the son of Jesse became King of Israel. Strength! There is no place in this world for those who are afraid, for those who shirk life's difficulties, for those who have not daring, hardihood, resolution. You who came here and made this state great, you could have done nothing if it had not been that you had cool heads, stout hands, strong hearts. We must have the virile, manly virtues if we are to make of this nation the success which we shall make of It. and with those qualities must go others; must go self mastery and self restraint, the spirit that makes a man deal fair and square with his neighbors. Wre need qualities, virtue, decency, honesty, the spirit of fair dealing, the spirit of obedi ence to law. the spirit that makes a good husband, a good father, and a good neighbor, a decent man in his rela tions. with the rest of the world. We must have them, and then we must have something more. The virtue that stays at home in its own parlor and regrets that the world is not better, does not count. The good man who is afraid is of no use. With virtue, with decency, must go hand it hand the quality of manliness, the quality that makes a man able to hold his own in the hurly-burly of life. "Y'ou, my comrades, in the great, war demanded and had to demand in a sol dier first that he should have the power of devotion to the flag, the power of devotion to the country. He had to be natiiotic. Patriotism, that was the first quality, but you did not care how jiatriotic a man was if he ran away he was no good. In addition to being pat riotic he had to possess the fighting edge. He had to be the kind of man that when the order came, to move, would move in the right direction, it is fo in citizenship. We must have pat riotism and decency and honesty. If a man has not the root of decent conduct in him then the abler he is and the j braver he is the more dangerous he is i to the community at large. He is pure j ly a kind of civic wild beast and you I need to hunt him down and hunt him out of the community. "There is not In all America a more dangerous trait than the deinojtkm of mere smartness unaccompanied by any I sense of moral responsibility. All of us know of some man of whom our foolish neiehobrs, for we all of us have ot-i-a-! Fiona Uv foolish neighbors, will ray, Well, "maybe he is not quite straight, but he is drefful smart." The man of whom that can be said and the man i w ho savs it are both poor citizens, ana i we shall not make of this great republic I and commonwealth what it must be merle until 'we join to hunt down the j successful rascal just as eagerly as we hunt down the unsuccessful rascal. "We have got. to have first, the spirit of decency, and joined with that the spirit of manliness, the spirit that I makes a man able to hold his own in military strife or in the hard, rough work of the world. Our soldiers in '61 j had not only to possess good intentions i but the power to put them into effect to I make themselves felt; and the men who came out here to carve this great and beautiful state out of the prairie land had to possess not merely the desire to I do well, but the power, the rugged strength to do well. Kansas is great i today, and our country is great today because hitherto we have been able to j combine the two qualities in our oitizen ship the quality of striving after de eency and the quality of striving so as to mcke our force efficiently felt. In i citizenship we need strong bodies, and even more than strength of body we need strength of mind, and most of all j we need what counts for more than bodv and than mind character. Char aeter, into which many elements enter, j but three especially the elements of 1 honesty, of courage and the saving 1 grace of common sence." (Cheers and applause.) AT SALINA. Two Incidents occurred tit Salina which show the president's thoughtful ness. One was his mentioning the vari ous student bodies by name, although there was nothing by which to dis tinguish what institutions were repre sented. When he mentioned Bethany college by name, the SOO Bethany stu dents broke into a cheer st the thought of the piesident of the United States tailing them by name in a great crowd. The other incident was when the ca dets of St. John's si hool started to take off their hats in the cold raw wild during the speech. "Don't do it. boys." he shouted. "Keep your hats on in this wind. I am old and i,,,-v, and ca n stand it mvself to have mvhat off. But I thank you for the courtesy." In his speech at Salina the president said: "I am glad to be here. I am glad lo address this audience with the children in the foreground and the representa tives of th colleges right behind them, t have been impressed more and morr as I have gone through Kansas with th-r wisdom of your conduct in steadily 1" veloping the highest tvpe of intellectual and moral citizenship, and with the abounding well-being of your com munity. I want to say how glad I am to see the representatives of the col-pyr-s of Salina and the representative, of'sialina. I know all about Bethany, t know its work right through. "I have been struck in coming thrcutrh this state, as in coming through Ne braska to the north of it, wdth the change in the scenery made by the hand of man. the effect in beautifying land scape no less than in adding to th? 4ivaMeness and productivity of the state, because of what has been done by the farmers who have built up thii state. I reioice that so great a state i to nroduce the scholar, the man with trained mind, exactly as it produces th. man with trained muscles. Here as I see the children I want to coneretulate you for another reason. I believe in your stock, and I am glad it is not likely to die out. (Applause.) I congratulate you cn the quality and quantity, both. (Applause.) (Continued on Page Six.) LIKE 4TH0F JULY, Denver Turns Out in Mass to Greet the I'resident.

This is presi dent's day in Colorado, and at every stopping place on President Roosevelt' itinerary it has been observed in Fourtn of July fashion. The nation's chief ex ecutive was the guest of the city of Denver for two and one-half hours, and the people, regardless of political affilia tions, greeted him with a warmth and heartiness of welcome not exceeded on his transcontinental tour.. The city's or. dinary population of about 175,000 with thousands of visitors from other parts of the state was massed along the streets and avenues of the line of march at the state capitol grounds and in City park, and every man, woman and chiioi in the city had an opportunity of get ting a good look at the distinguished guest dining his drive over a route six miles in length, which was the prin cipal feature of the programme for the day.

Washington, May 4. Bishop John Fletcher Hurst cf the Methodist Epis copal church died here at 12:40 o'clock this morning. With the bishop when he died were his daughter Ellen and a son, Lieut. Paul Hurst, of the Third I'nited States infantry, who arrived only a few hours before his father's death. Another son. John L. Hurst, is on his way here from Denver, having been summoned when it was seen the end was near. One othei son. Carl Bailey Hurst, is at Vienna, where he is L'nited States consul gen eral. Bishop Hurst had been in failing health for nearly two years and for more than a year it had been recog. nized that a fatal termination of his malady was but a question of months. He was stricken with paralysis in London last September a year ago, when attending the Ecumenical conference. The news of President McKinley's as sassination prostrated him and the ehock brought on rapidly the decline that finally ended in his death. Bishop Hurst remarried a few years ago after the death of his former wife, but the latter marriage was not a hap py one and they separated about three or four years ago. John Fletcher Hurst has been a bish op since 1S80. He was born In Mary land in 1MU, and after studying theology at various colleges, including Heidel berg and Holly, he entered the Method ist ministry in 1858. His works include church histories, a book on India and one on Shakespeare. He has also trans lated several books from the German. 100 CANNONS BOOMED In Honor of King Edward on His Departure from Paris. Paris.

That President Roosevelt is keeping alive with current events during the rush and excitement of his tour in the west is shown by the fact that he took occasion to recognize the anniversary of the great naval vic tory In Manila Bay, May 1, 1S98, by sending the following telegram to the hero of that occasion. "Topeka, Kan., May 1, 1903. "Admiral George Dewey, U. S. N Washington. "On this anniversary of your great services to the nation I wish you all possible happiness and long life. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT."

A ROOSEVELT STORY Told by an Episcopal Clergyman in Hia Pulpit. Syracuse, N. Y., May 4. In a sermon delivered here the Rev. Mr. George C Richmond, an Episcopal clergyman. told a new anecdote about President Roose velt. He said: "When he gr:!u;:el from Harvard "nd went home to New York he decided, as thoughtful met; of ten do, to devote part of his energy and ability to the work of the church. He had been born and bred into that branch of Christianity known as the Dutch Reformed church, but at this point in his life he decided to give his strength, vitality and sympathy to the Episcopal church, which in his mind had the best field for work "To a man of his strenuous constitu tion, its mission in the present age, its chance for work among God's people of today, was of course the prevailing mo tive for his choice. He entered into the work of a New York parish and took time to teach the boys cf the Sunday school. Here in this church he met the spirit which shocks and confounds a reel, true man, the spirit of mediaeval ism, the spirit cf the unessential, the semblance of the real. "At several of the services he failed to bow when the rubric required such a posture. He waited to kneel as those who noticed him watched with chagrin. If they had left him alone he would have learned the manner of the place. His people were ill-bred in those man ners which win men and make new souls. They told this young fellow of all his ways as they had watched them and urged him to be more correct. As a result he left the church and threw up his work. He went back to that body of Christians where manliness is worth more tian manners and strength of character more than ritual." SHOT A PREACHE I He Was Under Arrest at the Time of His Death. 3Iob Came In the Night and Killed Constable. THEN HIS PRISONER. Dragged Body Into the Woods and Left It. His Fault Wras Haying Too Many Wires. Caruthersville. Mo., May 4. Constabl W. J. Mooneyhon and his prisoner, tha Rev. D. M. M alone, living at Wardell, twelve miles west of here, were mur dered last night by an armed mob in disguise. The sheriff, J. A. Franklin, has a clew to some members of the mob. Great excitement prevails throughout the country. Malone was one of the "sanctified" preachers who have infested the country for some time. Malona was about 5u years old and had a wife. Recently h became enamored with a grass widow, Mrs. Mary Frill, whom he converted to his faith. The two traveled and preached together. Over this Mrs. Ma lone became greatly troubled and th preacher decided to get rid ot her by saying that she was crazy, it Is assert ed. Accordingly she was brought to thia city and claced in Jail. A warrant was issued for Malone and Mrs. Frill, and Constable Mooneyhon went to arrest th couple last Wednesday. Malone came to the door with a Win chester and revolver and defied the of ficer, saying: "I live under the law of grace, not men, and will not be taken alive." Constable Mooneyhon went away, but returned and arrested the couple Satur day. It was too late to bring them to this city and the constable took his prisoners to his residence to be brought here Sunday. At 11 o'clock Saturday night some one called to the officer. When he went to the door to see what was wanted he was shot without warning. The mob then swarmed into the house, seized the preacher, dragged him into the hall and shot him dead. They dragged his body into the woods and literally riddled i, with bullets. They left Moonej.iou where he had fallen. Mooneyhon's wife and several neighbors were in the room at the time, but none of them were molested. A mob had been try ing to capture the "sanctified" preacher for several days, but it is a mysttry win' they shot the officer, who had him In charge. Mrs. Frill was brought here stid placed in jail. She saw the tragedy and ropoits it as here given. She ia 26 years old ar.d has a husband. The scene of the tragedy is in a wild part of the county. The sheriff and poss have gone there.

TESTS OF GRAIN DO WELL Over 100 Varieties Experimented on at Fort Hays Station. Havs City, Kas., May 4. The heavy enows and early rains have put the jiiound on the 4.000 acre experiment sta tion in good shape for spring work. The tX) acres of fall wheat sown is excel lent. Of the ltii varieties sown, all but twentv-two came through the winter of those that did not get through the larcer iiart failed on account of poor fetd. as no stand was secured. A few winter killed. Only one of the nine va rieties of rye sown gives promise. The area devoted to each variety varies from the small s;iace fjiven a few grains to over twenty acres. The larger number are hybrids of the best varieties in this section, anil varieties that have tieen introduced from other countries where onditior.a are similar. It is the object to watch each variety carefully, with the hope of finding better yieldings and more desirable varieties. Careful noted ire taken frequently regarding each va jietv. Some of them have already shown great i'romise. The Marconi wheats are also receiv ing attention. Five varieties were sown ttn sod last spring, and in addition thir teen r.evv varieties have b"en sown, covering an area of nearly forty acres. A iso twenty-two 'varieties of barley, and eighteen varieties of oats have been sown this spring. This makes 2.1i va 1 ieties of small grain on an area of 340 acres. Besides a test of varieties, there are ilso included tests of methods of pre paring the land for seeding. These ex periments are not as extensive as they will he on account of the land being new.

Of the thirty varieties of wild grasses sown a year ago, the majority are mak ing a fine start. The two kinds that show most promise by their ability to withstand hot dry winds, and making a yield of over two tons of fine hay per acre, proved to be annuals, as the seed is easily obtained, they may prove valuable for seeding this spring. The work with grains and grasses is largely co-operation with the United States department of agriculture. Work in irrigation is also being begun in co operation with the irrigation investiga tion. Large wells are being put down, and centrifugal pumps will be used to raise the water, which will be applied to various crops in comparison with the same crops not irrigated. Quite a number of varieties of corn will also be tried. These have been col lected from Old Mexico and other places in drier parts of the country. As a beginning in horticulture and forestry, 400 fruit trees, consisting of peaches, apples, plums and cherries.and MOO berries have been planted. One thousand forest trees have been set for shelter and shade. Four thousand small seedling cedars and pines are planted' under partial shade to give them as nearly as possible natural conditions. After two years in the nursery they will be transplanted along the creek banks to beautify the twelve miles of timber that grows along the stream. The legislature last winter appropriated 500 for equipment and maintenance for the next two years. Considering that the station is located "Si miles west of the Missouri river, in the "Oreat West." that people even SXi miles east have a very vague and distorted idea ahout, this amount, though not half what the institu tion deserves, will do a great deal towards establishing and making it known.

We are now purchasing teams, machinery, stock and erecting buildings. "Weather observation instruments are be ing installed, and a careful record of all the ordinary observations will be kept.

Snow In the valleys yet tells of the severity of the past week's storm in western Kansas. Farmers are coming in with reports of serious cattle losses. It is probable that more cattle have been killed than in all other storms of the winter combined. In Wallace county alone the losses will amount to 500 head. Other counties have equal losses, owing to the drifting of stock against the barbed wire fences, and several thousand head will only ap proximate the losses in western Kansas and eastern Colorado.

Yanger Had Kid Broad Almost Out at Louisville. Conld Not Quite .Deliver the Necessary Punch. BOUT WENT 20 HOUNDS. Contest Was Hard Fought the Entire Distance. The Chicago Boxer Easily Out pointed Cleveland Lad. Louisville, Ky., May 4. A crowd which filled Louisville's famous Audi torium saw Benny Yanger, of Chicago, win over Kid Broad Saturday niaht la one of the greatest twenty-round battles in the history of pugilism. It was simply a great little boxer, clever and trained to the minute, against a little eiant who seemed almost insensible to the blows that were rammed into his body and face. It was the new school against the old, the boxer against the slugcer, and the former earned his laurels cleverly. Long before the twenty rounds were com pleted it was evident that the decision would go to Yanger unless Broad hap pened to land one of his swings. Round after ruund Yanger outboxed his op ponent, landing almost two blows to Broad's one. The latter took the pun ishment like a Spartan, willing to be the receiver for any number of blows to get one home. Yanser used only two blows effec tively, a straight left to the face which broadened Broad's flat nose, and a right to the ribs which soon had Broad's budy red and raw. Yanger was cool through out and scarcely ever took a backward step, while Broad never flinched undei the severest punishment. Parson Davies, Broad's manager, said after the contest that the decision was a just one and that his man was out pointed. Yanger left at once for Cin cinnati. Yanger arrived at noon with a iargi delegation of Cincinnati people. and was met at the depot by Manager Hertz and Harry Forbes, champion bantam weight of the world, who came from Chicago. Yanger went at once to the Seeibach hotel, where rooms had been engaged for him, and after a light lunch he took a short walk and then drove out j to Churchill Downs to see the Derpy. 1 Broad put in a quiet day at his train- j ing quarters and spent part of the at- i ternoon with his manager, Parson Dav ies, and Tom O'Rourke. During the morning a number of bets were made at 6 to 5, with Yanger the favorite, and Manager Hei tz bet $00 on his man against $lti0 on Broad, laid by Book maker Benny Folk. At the track in the afternoon several of the bookmak ers were laying 3 to 5 on Yanger and 6 to 5 on Broad, but the betting was not heavy. Fred Slocum was one of the race followers who pinned his faith on Broad, but he wanted 10 to 7 for his money, and succeeded in placing several bets at these odds at Hunter Nolan's early in the evening. At the Auditor ium the crowd gathered slowly, influ enced doubtless by the rumor that the court had decided to stop the contest, and by the rerunning of the Derby at all of the down town hotels. While waiting for the principals to appear there was considerable betting around the ringside, the Chicago dele gation backing Yanger at loo to SO whenever they could find any Broad takers. At 9:40 Yanger money was going beg ging at 10 to 7 on. Andy Craig, of Chi cago, had SL'.OOO which he wanted to bet at $70 to $100. He succeeded in getting on SI. 000. Benny Falk and Colonel W. E. Apple-gate, well known bookmakers, took the major portion of it. The weighing in was done in Broad's dressing room after the long delay which was gensially attributed to an attempted piei-e of sharp work on the part of Manager H'-rtz. Yanger was the first to step on the scales after they had been set at 128 pounds. He was clotheless and the beam did not move. Broad weighed in his underclothes and he also failed to move the scales. "I guess I can't do 12;," said Broad, as he stepped off. "Weight don't count now," responded Yanger, "May the best man win." Hack in the rear of the house a man who wanted to bet on Yanger stood up and waved a handful of bills. The gal lery crowd' saw that he was a "sofc mark" and "kidded" hiin gleefully until a police officer told him to sit down and cease displaying his cash. Yanger was the first to appear, and he was escuired by his manager. John Hertz. Harry Forbes, Emit Thiery Patsy Hogan. Art Sims, Eugene Beze l'ah and John Bright, the assistant stai'ter at Churchill Downs. He arrive,-! just at 10 o'clock and was given a re ception by the crowd. George Wade acted as timekeeper for Yanger. Broad appeared at 10:10 and was given a. hearty reception by his Louisville con stituents. He came over at once and shook hands with the Chicago hoy. Broad had for his seconds Tom O'Rourke Marvin Hart, Bert Mastison, and "Shang" Paretto, while his man ager. Parson Davies. occupied a chair near his corner, and P.at Masterson held the watch for him. Beth men wore soft banda-.es. Track Meet at Lawrence. Lawrence, Kas., May 4. The Kansas intercolleeiate track meet scheduled to be held here Saturday dwindled down to a meet between the College of Em poria and Kansas university, as no other colleges were represented. Kansas won an easy victory, scoring 79 points to h r adversary's ID. The only events in which the visitors took first placa were the 220 yard hurdle and the discus throwing.

Louisville, Ky., May 4 Within the shadow of the v ire.Judge Himes snatch ed from Early the twentv-ninth Ken tucky derby at Churchill Downs. It was the confidence of the twice successful Winkfieid that lost to the favorite the blue ribbon event of the Blue Grass state. Bourbon, six lengths off. was third, while Bad News, Woodlake and Treacy finished in the order named. It was a derby run and won, not by the touted odds-on favorite, but by a much despised outsider; but, be it said to the credit of colt and jockey, he was well piloted, and when Judge Himes passed the wire winner of the classic event it was to the plaudits of all Kentucky. The victory was a surprise to even Owner E'lison, for he had not thought the Eshed-Lullaby colt good enough to win. It was an exciting finish. Early, with a length and a half to the good, was ridden down the stretch as though he had already won. Within the last six teenth H. Booker brought up Judge Himes, and in a merciless drive, Early, who hud lost his stride by the overcon fidence of Winkfieid, was beaten out three-quarters of a length by the prac tically neglected Elison colt. The event Saturday was characteris tic of Kentucky derbies, for there was the same surging, jostling mass of hu manity, crowding stands and paddocks and overflowing the field; while of the strongest, for men, wildly, some madly, fought their way to the block, irt their eagerness to back their selections. In the grand stands and on the club house terrace there was a mass of gor geous costumes and beautiful faces, banked tier upon tier and representing the fairest of Kentucky's womanhood. The day was perfect. The track was fast. A HARD FOUGHT GAME. Battle. Between Ottawa and Linda borg East and Exciting. Ottawa, Kan., May 4. The most sen sa..onal game of baseball seen in Ot tawa since the town supported a league team, was played at Forest park Satur day afternoon. Ottawa university shut ting out Lindsboi-g by the score of 4 to 0. Slater r'or Ottawa and Holm for Pethany, were in the box in each game. Both are youns fellows in their first year of baseball and are proving to be two of the best pitchers in the state. Both were effective and each received gilt edge support. For the first four in nings not a visitor reached first base and neither side scored until the latter half of the eighth. In this inning came the excitement. Ottawa opened up on Holm and by the aid of free pass filled the bases. Then Kernes came to the bat and swung at the first ball, landing it over the tree tps for a home run. The crowd went -wild- and the grounds had to be cleared before the play could be resumed. In the first half of the ninth the visitors got men on second and third, but Slater settled down and retired the side without a score. It was a remarkable game in which every player on each team played brilliant ball throughout. Score bv innings: R.H.E.

(7 WHERE WILL IT BE? Arrangement Committee Is Now Visiting: Rival Towns. Date for the Annual Event Is June 20. The Santa Fe shop men are already making unhingements for their annual excursion and picnic. A big meeting of all the shop men was held in the car ehedp last Wednesday evening. At this meeting -j "-c- eral committee was elect ed, u h ,t t in the. rooms of the rail road Y. M. C. A. Thursday nisht and In tuin tiected a committee on arrange ments.

The jilaee has not yet been elected, but it will ;robably be held at either Leavenworth, Atchison, Kansas City, or St. Jose-ih. Ottawa is also un der consideration. The arrangement committee left today for a trip tnrough the above mentioned towns to see what inducements the park and city railway authorities can otter. They will be gone about a week and on their return will report to the general committee. The town in which the jiienie is to be held will then lie decided upon. The com mittee, on Saturday was at the Santa Fe general offices arranging for transpor tation. HEAD-ON COLLISIONS. Surprising Number Have Occurred so Far in 1903. The first uuarter of the year lUOU has been marked by a surprisingly large number o that most inexcusable form f railway act idents head-end collis ions. Of the noteworthy accidents of all kinds of which the Itailway Age has KeDt i t! (it il, v. ere of this character, involvinc a loss of 7t lives, injuries to 1-4 ;.ersons, and enormous destruction pioperty. All the other important incidents durinx the three months of which information has been received, lesultins Horn washouts, broken rails. iih ti switches, other derailments anu rear collisions, number '-.i and caused 75 deaths and injuries to as many more persons. Of these miscellaneous acci ints 10. causinc 3! deaths, were rear collisions, a class of occurrences gen- tally inexcusable though often occur ring under mitigating circumstances, such as breakdowns, fogs, slippery rails, brake failures, etc.. but seldom result ing from direct violation or misunder standing of rules and orders. Yet the rear-end t ollision on the Central of New Jersey in January, the worst of the leiiod. which co-u '2it lives, was due to the engineer running by signals and had little rial !ia -:'"r. But when two trains dash tog'ier on the same track from opposite directions, the fundamental principles of railway operations have been violated and dis-iace has again been plai til upon American railroading. Yet it is the Individual and not the sys tern that almost invariably is to blame for head-end collisions. In none of the tasf s here recorded does there seem to have been any fault In the rules or reg ulations, as a result of which the acci dent couid have occurred if the rules hail been obeyed. Klther the dispatch er's orders were faulti- or were not lrerierly delivered or were misinter preted or forgotten by the enginemaiv And so the rejeionsibilH y for thes -iwful calamities, almost without excep tion, comes back either to the dispatch ers, the telegraph operators or the trainmen, and these are the person.-, upon whoe minds the lesson of thest, fitcuent. landless and criminal dis asters thould make a deep impression. COULDN'T FIND THE PILOT. An Example of What People Don't Know About an Engine. One of the foremen in the paint de partment at the Santa Fe shops tells a story that shows the ignorance of ome people regarding the technical names of the different parts of a loco motive. "Several years ago," he says, "I em ployed a young fellow who from all ap pearances was a good painter and who said that he had had some experience in rngine painting. Taking him at his word I gave him brush, a bucket of black paint and orders to paint the pilot of an engine that was standing nearby. I then left him to do as I had Instructed and went to attend to some work of my own. In about ten min utes I happened to stroll by the place where I had left him. He was missing. After walking around the engine I final ly discovered him in the cab. He was down on his knees as if looking for something that he had lost. I asked him what he was looking" for and he answered that he was looking for the pilot. "Bon't you know where the pilot is?" I said in a loud voice. I can't say that I do," was his an swer. By this time I was pretty hot, so I crabbed him by the collar and marched him up to the front end of the engine. "TV) you see that?" I said. "Yes." "Well, that's the pilot." 'Oh. is it? T always thought that was the 'caow ketcher.' Aldermen Like the Elkins Law. Clii.-!ito. 111..

Cu-f-Of The accompanying cut shows the cut off between Havana and Caney, Kas., which the Santa Fe will build in a short time. This proposed cut-off is of great importance for the reason that it affords the Santa Fe a through line to the In dian Territory. The road now uses the Missouri Pacific tracks between Niotaze and Caney in order to connect with the Bartlesvilie branch, but when their own track is laid between these points they will give up their lease of the Missoun Pacific tracks and will have a through line of their own. Although the cut-off will only be about seven miles in iengtn primary, however. is now being met l with the statement that only passes within the state can be obtained. The fact that a request made by Mayor Harrison was refustd on account of the Klkins amend ment is being used by the aldermen who have too many traveling constituents. SCOFFS AT "FIRST AID" Alfred Foster Says It Is an "Unneces sary Bother for Railroads. Alfred Foster, of Wilmington, N. C, writing to the Kailway Age, denies tire utility ot the "first aid to injured" in struction now being given on some loaus. He says it is too difficult for a railroad man to study even elemental y medicine and surgery. "Another great objection to this sys tem," continues Mr. Foster, "is that it places within the reach o the employe anodynes, and although explicit and positive instructions are given as to their administration, yet the average railroad man is so tender-hearted that he w ill continue giving them as long .as the iiatient shows any signs of great pain, regardless of all instructions to the contrary, and when the surgeon arrives upon the scene he has to treat the pa tient for opium jioisoning before he can go ahead with the surgical procedure. (The writer has observed several cases of this kind. J "The supporters of this system are usually very enthusiastic, and are al ways able to cite numerous instances where it has irroved of value; they can also display a kit of first aid to the injured' supplies, which is certainly a commentary upon the thoughtf ulm ss of human ingenuity. For the benefit oi these ieo;)le the writer will give some figures covering six years' work on a system of railroads comprising 2.500 miles, runninc through a very sparsely settled section of the country. He de sires to say here that it was his duty to scrutinize each of the cases enumerated to see that there was not the slightest fault with the operating department in the handling of the case, and with the aid of one of the most experienced rail rni'il surgeons in the country to see that there was no fault with the medical de partment. "In the six years there were handled 8,964 cases, 240 terminating fatally, ISO capital amputations. Of those termi nating fatally :0 per cent, were killed instantly. in all of this time we did not find that a 'first aid to the injured' system would have been of the slightest value. "The writer is of the opinion that the American trainman is the most re sourceful man in the world. If you wih not hamper him with instructions not practically understood, and which he is liable to carry out improperly, his com mon sense will, in almost every case, dictate what should .be done; he will usuallv do of his own volition all that could be expected of a layman under the circumstances." LOSS WIPED OUT. Railroad Earnings Will Show a Net Gain Over 1902. Net returns of the railroads for March as the statements are published, show, as might be expected, much the largest gain per cent during the fiscal year. It is probably safe to say that complete returns for March will show a net gain of to 10 per cent over those of a year ago. The net gain in February was something less than 4Va per cent, but that was the best month in the current fiscal year to date. By the end of March it is safe to say that the net loss shown for the current fiscal year to date will have been wiped out and re placed by a net gain. Meanwhile, it is instructive to note that the heavy ratio of gross gain which has characterized returns since the end of January con tinues unabated. April is in this re spect doing fully as well as March. It lis clear that railroad values at present are on tne up grade, with even- indica tion of so continuing throughout th.3 summer.

Most ot this freight is now shipped around by way of Winfleld, but it is thought that the Chanute branch of the road will now handle some of it. H. U. Mudge, gen eral manager of the Santa Fe, says that the Bartlesvilie branch will some day be extended into Texas and that th3 branch will then be of as much im portance to shippers as the Galveston line now ia. The cut-off will shorten the line about six miles. Mr. Mudge says that con struction work will be commenced just as soon as the risrht of way can be se cured. This will be in about thirty days. big. division freight agent for the com pany, l ney made a trip to the stock yards and inspected the packing houses, stock yards and elevators, also the tracks in that vicinity. Mr. Gruber said: 'STe are just making an inspection trip over the lines west of the Missouri river.

In regard to improvements bv the Rock Island Mr. Gruber said: "In Wichita we contemplate building a number of extensions and side tracks to further increase the convenience tor hand ling large quantities of freight which 1 un rtiTr-tand the company is hauling to and from this part of the country.

They will spend several weeks on this side. Two years ago this same railway- company sent over its general manager for an extended tour of inspection through the United States. The result of this trip was so satisfactory in the way of ac quiring new ideas and methods that the directors have been moved to repeat tho experiment. Another 50 Miles of Orient Road. Kl Paso, Tex..

The seating capacity of the church was tested to it.-: utmost, every available inch of space beins utilized for the accommodation of those who are interested in the welfare of the schools. A fine programme, consisting of ora tions, crchestral selections. ladies' chorus and male Quartette singing vocal solos, etc., -was well rendered by the twelve hiph school graduates, as sisted by Lewis" orchestra and other local musicians.

Leavenworth, Kas., May 4. Theie was a serious wreck Oil the Missouri Pacific railroad at Oak Mills, a station midway between Leavenworth and Atchison, shortly before 8 o'clock Sun day. A freirrht train of 89 empty car, bound for Omaha, broke in two and thi sudden cutting off of the air caused the rear coition of the train to leave the track. Fifteen cars left the track and scattered in every direction. Thrc cars leaped over twenty feet in the ah and came down across the telegraph wires, breaking them and .rendering communication north impossible fo? several hours. Empty freight cars piled on ton of each other in the ditch and were badly damaged. A wrecking crew was s--crred at Atchison, and at noor the track was sufficiently cleared of wreckage to allow trains to pass. Th2 first train to get by the -wreck was tne passenser. south bound, due in Leaven worth at 8:45 a. m. It arrived in Leav enworth at 1 o'clock in the afternoon The freight train was No. 221. and was in charee of Conductor Mills and Engi neer Woods. Tt left Leavenworth at 7:05 a. m.

The State Journal is a member of the ociated Press and receives the full day trb qraph report of that great news or ItHiiizatien for exclusive afternoon puolic.t tinn in Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. A complete copy of the ntht report is also received. Interest as well as length might have been added to the parade features of last veek at St. Louis by arranging for a division of boodlers. The New York courts have sent a man worth $5,O'1O,O0O to the penitentiary. He will have the sympathy of Captain Oberlin M. Carter. It may be that legislatures take little interest In the good roads movement because there is no outlook for passes on that class of highways. Tn California the antl-llquor cause has made an important gain without the aid of legislation. The Knights Templar have abandoned the use of Vine at their conclaves. President Harper of Chicagouniversi ty seems disposed to give Mr. Rocke feller a rest. He says his institution needs $1,000,000 for a library. This an nouncement points directly at Car negie. Somebody has estimated that street railway earnings increase in the pro portion of about 3 to 1 in their relation to growth of 'population'. That is, if population of a city increase five per cent in a given time street car earnings will be found to have increased 15 per cent in the same period. It might be veil for the council and the Topeka railway peonle to consider this phase of the subject while talking over a new franchise. AVirhlna week there has been a sharp advance in the price of silver, the rise amounting to live cents an ounce. This is practically the first advance that has occurred since the beginning of the decline, in December, 1900, when the nice was 61.15 cents an ounce. The average price during 1000 was 61.33 cents, in 1901, 68.85 cents, while in Jan uary. 1902, it was 55.56 cents, and in November of the sameyear it had gone to less than 50 cents. A short lime since silver was down to 47 cents jmd now it is at 53 Va with a rising mar let. The advance is attributed to the snort supply and the heavy buying of the United States government, amount ing to an average of 550,000 ounces weekly, for use in the Philippines. LEADS THE WORLD. According' to some calculations made by the Chicago Inter-Ocean, based on an article by Kugene Parsons in Gun ton's Magazine for April, the United states has nearly one-fourth of the world's wealth. The total for the entire world is placed t S400,I.O0.0ft(),000, of which the United States in W has $94,P,OO.OI'0,000. showing that this is the richest nation on the fc-iobe. It is also shown that the wealth of the United States is nearly double that of (Ireat Britain, and almost as much as the combined wealth of Great Britain and France. According to the reports or estimates of wealth in the several nations, it ap pears that Grent Britain, which is put down as the richest country in Kurnpp, has property and money amounting to J"9,000, 000,000, or $1,442 for every person. France comes next among the Euro pcan nations with $!S, 000, 000,000 in money and property, or $1,257 for every person, with $6,000,000,000 more lent in Kureoe, Asia, America and Africa. Germany is th third nation of Europe in point of wealth, her total being $40. fHio, 000,000, or $709 for every person, with $S,0O0.lM0,000 more lent or invested abroad. Kussian comes fourth, with 000,000,000. Accoi ding to these same authorities the United States has wealth of $l,'-3.i per person. Australia has $1,229, Den mark $1,105, Canada and Holland $mS per pel son. Among all the nations the percentage of del.it to wealth is low est in the United States. The British debt per ;erson is $s9, the French $MS. the German $55, the Russian $32, the Canadian $;0, while the debt per person in the United States is only $12. The national debt of the United States is $.'l.",370.o'0, while that of Great Britain is $3,fi-s. 528,252, that of France J5.71S,30,19S, and that of Germany $3, Cj::.C3s.4'io. From this it is shown that the United S'-Mtes rot only has the larg-est wealth ot at-.y nation of the world, but also the smallest public debt. quit INTEREST IN CHINA. The interest of the United States in maintaining the open door in Man churia can be readily appreciated when the: I ti re and rapidly increasing trade with that portion of China is taken into conned ration. Apparently about one-fourth of the exports from the United States to China ul'imately reach the port of New chwang, the treaty port through which no: t (-.eastern China, including Man churia, receives most of its foreign met -tliancilse. This is the conclusion of the treasury bure.au of -statistics after a fateful study of the statistics of the im- ports of China, -as presented by the an nual yeilow book, entitled "Maritime Customs of China; Returns of Trade and Trade Reports for the It;ar lOOO-'Ol." An accurate determination cf the cuestion of the share of American irn- I ports into China which enter New- ihwangr is difficult because of the fact that nearly all of the foreign mer chandise reaching Newehwang is fust received at some other port of China, chiefly Shanghai, and thence trans shipped to Newchwang. Another diffi culty lies in the fact that the Chines'1 customs resorts do not indicate the country of origin pf the articles im ported, except in a few articles. Four articles are specifically named as of American production, viz., American drills, American jeans. American sheet ings, and American oil. These four ar ticles apparently form a very large pro portion of the imports into Newchwang of American products. Our own state ments of exports to China show that cotton goods and mineral oils form about 85 per cent, of our exports to China. l:y an examination, therefore, of the figures cf Chinese imports of American drills, jeans, sheetings and kerosene oil, and the transshipment thereof to Newchwang, it is possible to get a fairly accurate estimate of the value of American i,-roducts reaching Newchwang, the principal port of entry for the country in question. The Chinese figures analyzed by the bureau of statistics show that the value of cotton goods imported into New chwang direct from the United States was 3.7S7 haikwan taels (value of tael, January 1, lflOS, 59.4 cents). JAYHAWK.ER JOT3. They are still playing croquet at Au gusta. A coloony of prairie dogs has appear ed In Brown county. One day of each week at Attica is known as "hog day." The plutocrat of Stafford county drives a $325 pair of mules. Now that they are to have a "dry" town Great Bend will purchase a site for a jail. A Preston man who is raising a feath erless chicken lets it have a portion of his bed every night. Four bass weighing three pounds each were captured by a Dodge City "Ike Walton" from the Mulberry last week. Formosa claims to be the kind of a town where your neighbors hunt you trouble if you haven't any of your own. St. John is going in for economy. The streets are being graded and worked for taxes without the hiring of a comission er or overseer. The Claflin young man who took a few turns on the wheel of a busy wind mill no longer wonders why Alpine tourists grow dizzy. Two Stafford women created a mild sensation by engaging in a street fight and pulling each other's hair out. Luck ily the hair was in the form of switches. Certain Clyde small boys spend their Sundays getting drunk. If they might only be allowed to see twenty years in the future how quick they would change their form of amusement. The Kl Dorado colored Methodist church is in arrears $S(. The pastor says he will cheerfully ask God's "bless ing on the man who will contribute the sum. The debt remains unpaid. Four Sylvia young ladies bared their arm to a surgeon s' knife to aid a gen tleman friend undergo an operation for skin grafting. Not one of them took opiates or showed the least signs of nervousness. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Girls would get a lot more fun out of crying if it did not make their eyes red and their noses s.nuffy. Some people seem to think they have to ouarrel so as to show how much they love each other making it up. When a ch ap goes home with a girl and she ge ts up on the second stt p to say good night, it's curious how neariy on a level it always makes their faces. TOL'KKA CSIRLS WON. Defeated Kansas City Players at Basketball. The Topeka. high school girls defeated the Kansas City, Kansas, girls by a score of 11 to 3 in a very hard fought game Saturday. The game was very short and it didn't ive Topeka time to get started. LOCAL MENTION. The claims and accounts committee last Saturday compromised the claims for salary which had been presented by Sanitary Policement J. M. Hair and Charles Lindsey. Harr claimed $10 arm I.indsey $30. and they agreed to accept $8.33 and $20 respectively. Prof. Towne of Washburn college has been invited by H. D. Hawn of Npw York city, president of the National As- sociation of Klocutionists to deliver his address on "The Voice as an Agent in Kxpression" at the annual convention which meets this year in Denver. This is the same address that Prof. Towne gave before in the elecutionists' conven tion at Bethany about a month ago. At the annual declamation contest at Washburn, held last Saturday night, Hal G. Hotchkiss took the rtrst prize with a pathetic recitation entitled "Tobe's Monument." The winner of the second prize was DeWitt Lee with "The Hippodiome Race. Reuben Markham i got. honoiable mention. The prizes were 1 $10 and $5 respectively. The winners ti longed to the Washburn college and j Gamma Sigma Literary societies re- speclively. The judges of the contest i were Prof. H. S. Miiler, Mr. George Overmyer and Miss Agnes P. Damon. 100 Doses For One Dollar Economy in medicine must be measured by ttvo things cost and effect. It cannot be measured by either alone.

Hood's SarsaparlUa promises t Cure and keeps the promise. THB EEW FRANCHISE. There is an effort on hand and foot to "railroad" a 30-year city railway charter through tonight on first read ing. Should such action be done it viU subject the council to just and severe J censure. The greatest charges of cor I ruxition in connection with cities have i attended the granting of franchises, i There is no reason for rushing through a measure of such importance, tying up the city for thirty years. The matter should be carefully considered. While the city should be liberal with the company, it should protect ltseif and citizens. If we are ever to receive any revenue from franchises, this is a good time to besrin. If even a small percentage of gross receipts can be se cured in return for the valuable fran chise and the use of the streets it will be a start in the right direction. It is stated that the gentlemen who are managing the new affairs wish to "leave for Chicago tomorrow." That's cool. Now this paper has the utmost good will toward a reorganized city railway and it does not wish to see it handicapped or imposed upon. But the city has some rights and big ones in this matter. Against our thirty years, our friends can afford to give a few days. Topeka has been disgraced for years by a miserable service and has appar ently been helpless to remedy affairs except by public opinion and the ad vent of a rival line. The State Journal wants simple jus tice and right to both parties and it warns the council against suspicious haste. If the ordinance gives both the com pany and the city what they ought to have and is similar to fair instruments given other cities of similar proportions and conditions it ought to be passed, otherwise not. In no event is "railroad" action warranted. GLANDERS IFi TOPEKA. Horsemen Alarmed at a Threat ened Epidemic. Horsemen are alarmed by what threatens to be an epidemic of glanders in Topeka. Two horses owned by the City Hand laundry have been killed, and the veterinaries of the city are -keeping a close watch for other cases. The first horse of the laundry was stricken with the disease two weeks ago. was taken away by the desiccating plant and shot, and its body cremated. Last Friday another horse from the same stable came down with the dis ease, and was similarly treated. There is a third horse -in the stable, but the' doctors say that it has as vet developed no symptoms of the- disease. Glanders is a disease similar to dis temper. It causes horrible sores to break out, and a very offensive dis charge from the nose and eyes of the horse. If any of this discharge comes in contact with another horse, the dis ease is communicated. It is said that glanders is incurable, and that the only thing to do when a horse gets the dis ease is to kill it at once. During the civil war an epidemic of glanders among the cavalry and artil lery horses cost the government hun dreds of thousands of dollars. NEW SANTA FB TRAIN. Colorado Flyer Will Be Put on June i. On June 4 the Santa Fe will institute a new train service between Colorado joints and the east. The new train will be known as the Colorado Flyer.

Senator Chester T. Long came in from Sharon Springs this morning, returniilq: from his trip through Kansas with President Roosevelt. He will stay over in Topeka lor a day or two. Senator Long really is not very strong.

He will try.to rest and recuperate during the summer. Senator Burton returned from Sharon Springs as far as Abiiene, stopping at his home there. STARTED WITH A RUSH.

Proposed Ordinance (Jives Com pany About Everything. Tonight the reorganization commit tee of the street railway company will introduce their p.roposed now 30-year franchise, and they hope to have it passed before the council adjourns. Mr. Myer3 and Mr. Wilson, the mem bers of the committee who are in charge of the franchise ordinance. say they want to go back to Chicago Tuesday. But the probability is that the coun cil will refer the ordinance to a com mittee, and will take its time to final action upon it. There seems to be con siderable disposition on the part of some members of the council to balk at the passage of a new 30-year or dinance in the same form as the pres ent street railway franchise. The, present franchise is about as broad and liberal a3 they make them. It gives the company the right to lay any kind of a single or double track it wants to on any street in town. It gives the right to operate its cars by steam, if the company wants to use that method of propulsion, though the use of "steam locomotives" is barved. There are some other provisions which some of the members of the council want to have changed. They think that the company should be required to lay girder rails in concrete on the paved streets, and they want it specified in the ordinance just what streets the com pany is authorized to use. Some of the councilmen think that 30 years is too long a life for a franchise of any kind. Under the new city charter act. the franchise must contain a provision granting to the city 10 per cent of all net earnings of over 10 per cent on the stock of the concern. The company must also make a report to the city of its business every six months, but this report does not amount to much because It seems to be left to the discretion of the officials of the company what they shall report. The provisions for giving the city 10 per cent of the net earnings after the com pany gets 10 per cent is also rather amusing, and it is safe to guess that the city will never get rich from that source. Some of the members of the council want the ordinance held up in a com mittee until, the city can get copies of the ordinances which are in existence in other cities of similar size. Just why the city council should vole such a valuable franchise away with practically no consideration it is difficult to understand. There is no reason why the franchise ordinance should be passed tonizht. The city council car. afford to go slowly. MR. STREET IS HERE. President of Water Company Reticent About Transfer. Charles F. Street, president of the To peka Water company, te in town and will attend the council meeting this evening prepared to entur upon- the final negotia tions for the transfer of the water plant to the ownership of the city. "Will the water company carry out its agreement to sell the plant to the city'.'" was asked of Mr. Street, "The water company always has carried out its agreements." replied Mr. Street. "The agreement which the city has with the company about the matter is perfectly plain and clear, isn't it?" "Will the water company take the $3aft.v00 bonds which the city will issue in payment for the plant?" "I don't know anything about tne bonds," said Mr. Street. "I am going to have a talk with the city attorney and mavor and a little later in the afternoon I might be able to give you more definite in formation on this matter." Mr. Street arrived in town about two o'clock this atternoon and after visiting the office of the Topeka Water company, went directlv to the city hall. "I want to see Mayor Bergundthal,' said Mr. Street. "I have not seen him since he was elected mayor. I understand mat City Attorney Spencer was re-elected. I expect to talk over the situation with these two men, and I can't say much about this tfMnsaction until t do talk to them." "Will you attend the council meeting this evening?" was asked. "Oh, is th'-re a council meeting tonight asked Mr. Street, innocently. TRIP TO YINEWOOD. City Council Makes Inspection of the Line.

John Osenforth, an Engineer, of Springfield, Ho., Was Killed. Carthage, Mo.. May 4. A headon col lision between the west bound passen ger and a freight train on the Frisco occurred here at noon Sunday in which John Osenforth, the passenger engineer, was killed. Both engines, baggage car and three freight cars were completely wrecked. A car of horses was thrown from the track, killing some the horses and crippling others. The accident happened in the switch yards and at the end of the sharp curve in the road. The freight was standing on the main line and was struck by the passenger train at full speed. It is said the passenger train arrived ahead of time. The dead engineer lived at Springfield. Mo., and had been in the railroad service twenty seven years. To Raise Salaries. The ways and mean? committee of the city council, which met Saturday after noon, w.ll recommend to the council thih evtnina that City Attorney Sriencer'a pay be raised from $1,200 to $l.Se0 a yeai. It is rrob:ible that the recommendation will be adopted without much opposi te The council will also be asked tonight to give additional pay to the chief oi police, city engineer and city clerk. The chief gets tl.mrfi and wants $1,200; the engineer get ft.iV and wants more: tl e city clerk e-jt $5,350 and wants $!,;0ft Councilman Swendson is opposed to raising the pay of any-city officials at this time, and there are a good many councilmen who think as he does ana will oppose any extravagant moves. THIS IS PENSION DAY. Line of Veterans Isn't as Long as Usual. Today is pension day and at the post office building the usual crowd of vet erans of the civil war is waiting in line at the window in the lower corridor through which the pension checks are issued. But the line is shorter than it has ever been before. The pension de partment has adopted a new regulation in regard to the payment of pensions, one that will probably result very ben eficially when its working has become generally understood. Instead of hav ing the pensioner call for his pension check it is hereafter to be sent to him by mail wherever that is practicable. With the rural mail service it will be possible to send the checks by carrier to almost any part of the county and in only a few instances will it be unsafe to commit the money to delivery in this manner All pensioners are being re quired to furnish the local pension of fice with their exact postoffi.ee address and are being given to understand that from now on they will get their money at home. In explaining the new ord:r Postmaster Guthrie said today: "Sending the checks by mail has been concluded by the department to be the most satisfactory method and it will be followed in the future. This way the mon ey is sent right to the pensioner s home and the old soldier is not tempted to spend the money before he gets out of town. Of course only a comparatively few men do this, but it occasionally happens. The money is always safest when the wife or mother of the family has it in her hands." SEVEN KILLED; 30 HURT Express Train Ploughed Through a Crowd at Detroit. Detroit, Mich., May 4. All but three of the excursionists injured last night when the Grand Trunk Pan-American flyer from Chicago plowed through a crowd of Polish people who were boarding their train at the corner of Dequinder and Canfieid street for the return journey to Toledo, killing seven and injuring about 30, are reported today as doing well at the vari ous hospitals. The body of a 9-year-old boy was early today identified as Stanley Orzcholske of Toledo. There are still at the morgue unidentified the bodies of a young woman and a boy about 4 years of asje. Fifteen hundred Polanders from Toledo came up to Detroit Sunday morning on a special Lake Shore train to celebrate a holiday. They left the train at the cor ner of Dequinder and Canfieid streets and went over to St. Joseph church, where they spent the day with that congrega tion. About S o'clock the visitors began to gather again at the corner of Canfieid and Dequinder streets to take their train back to Toledo. Both the Lake Shore and Grand Trunk tracks run out from the Brush street station on Dequinder street. Four policemen stood at the corner of Can field and endeavored to keep the excur sionists from crowding through the gates on the track. Despite their efforts hun dreds crawled under or over the gates and walked down the dark tracks to await the arrival of their train, which could be seen coming slowly up from the station. lrobably l.uoO persons were scattered along the tracks for two blocks waiting to board the Lake. Shore excursion train and secure seats. It was only a few blocks down the track, creeping carefully along. Suddenly, from out of the darkness, came the Grand Trunk Chicago and New York express. It plowed through the mass ot people, throwing them to both sides of the track, bruised and maimed, and grinding a number of them under the wheels. One of the most pitiful incidents of the catastrophe was the fate of the Orz cholske lamilv of Toledo, four members ot which are in Red Cross hospital, while the fifth, little Stanley, lies dead at the morgue. Peter Orzcholske, his wife and two children occupy the same room in the hospital. "1 do not krow how it happened, Orzcholske said in halting English today. "Thev told me to go up to the front car to get seats for my family. I started w-ith them and that is all I know. I had my little girl in my arms and my wife had the habv in her arms and little Stanley bv the 'hand. And they tell me he is dead," moaned the father. Missouri 6; Kansas 4. Columbia. Mo., May 4. The Missouri university basebalUteam, which defeat ed Kansas on the Columbia diamond Friday by a score of 14 to 13, was again too much for the Jayhawkers Saturday, winning by a score cf 6 to 4 in a well played game. Missouri clearly out classed the visitors. Northcutt pitched a fine game for Missouri. Up to the close of the seventh inning the game, from a Missouri standpoint, looked hopeless, the score standing 4 to 1 in favor of the Jayhawkers. In the last half of the seventh Missouri suddenly go on to Alphin's surves and scored five runs in r. bunch.

He showed passing interest in the visit of the president, hut the circus posters have had him hyn.io tized ever since they have been on tl e billboards. The circus is coming soon. It will be here on schedule time next Satur day. And it is a great biic circus a com bination of the Kreat fTiow organizer! and operated by the late Adam Fon-pdugh and that of the equally aa well known Sells brothers. The circus opened its season at St. Louis two weeks af?o and in consequence the people of Topeka will have the advantitge of seeing the show in all its early season freshness. Spf ;ikinjir of the performance one of the St. Louis papers said: "Tt Is unique. There is no spectacle. There is no striving after new or odd changes. No straining tor in novation. Every act presented is a real circus act. It is a tremendously big show, but a circus all the same. Its essence lies in its big heavy feature acts and the ap paratus necessary to produce them. This is its distinguishing trait and lifts it out ot the rut and sets it over in a class of its own." Iiavolo's performance is pointed to as the greatest circus fepfture ever seen under a tent. The posters depicting the act have caused no amount of comment and many wagers have been made pro and con rel Tuesday and Wednesday, May 5th and 6th. f 502-504 WEST U. W.

He will be elegantly entertained there, and an enthusiastic people will listen to his or atory. Russell Harrison, of Smith county, believes that he still has a fighting chance of securing the railroad com missionship, according to his home pa pers last week. Joe Wright, who recently disposed of his Lebanon Journal, is one of the old est newspaper men in Smith county. It feems that he was printing a paper in Cora, that county, many years ago, and if the Missouri Pacific had pushed on west of Burr Oak it would have made Cora an important town. Later, the Rock Island built through, left Cora out, built up Lebanon, and Joe Wright moved his office there. With the grad ual death of Populism the politics of his paper lost out; he sold his paper which will be converted to Republican ism, and he will doubtless locate in Oklahoma. TRIPLE ALLIANCE Strengthened by the Visit of the Kaiser to Rome. New York. May 4. The visit of the kaiser to Rome, while strengthening afresh the bonds which unite the triple alliance, making it a compact of the powers mastering in Europe, is supposed to have this time, according to the Trib un hir?sentative in London, a far reaching object, namely, that of winning the Vatican from the iniluence of France, this being the best moment when the republic is so severe with the Roman church. It is believed that Em peror William has agreed to the plan, namely, that of using the power of Ca tholicism for the purpose of creating a great colonial empire and especially in South Africa, through the work of mis sionaries. Thus the emperor took quite extraordinary measures to render his visit to the Vatican pleasant and flatter ing to the amour propre of the papacy, Koint; so far as to create even a little uneasiness in Italian liberal circles.

The Washburn baseball team return ed Saturday evening from a reasonably successful ten days' tour through Mis souri and Nebraska. The team left on its trip with a schedule of ten games but "two of them, one with Highland Park college at Des Moines and the other with Simpson college atlndianola, la., had to be cancelled c-n account of snow storms. At St. Marys the train arrived too late to permit the game to be started but the two managers reach ed an agreement whereby they will settle the difficulty tomorrow at St. Marys. Of the games that were played Wash burn got more than her share of vic toies, winning four and losing three. Three of the successful games that were never heard from after the team got tangled up in the wilds of Missouri were with Central college at Fayette, William Jewell at Liberty, and with the Warrensburg Normals,' two of these being won by large scores. The Wash burn team claims that the Missouri university ttam was ably assisted in their efforts by the umpire who hap pened to be a member of Missouri's team last year, and that the score should have been a tie. Washburn met a tough proposition when it went against the professional team of Ne braska and the score of twelve to one is not so much a reflection on the play ing of the Jjlues, as an acknowledg ment of the superiority of salaried men. At K. U. the boys had the game well in nana but went up in the air in the last innings and lost the game by a narrow margin. The Creighton team put up an excellent article of ball and though it lost by the close score of two to one made one of the most exciting games of the series. A gratifying feature of the teams playing is the individual batting of the players. Gill leads with an average of more than 325, closely followed by Mehl, Pressy and Johnson. At the beginning of the trip the men secured few hits, but they have rounded into good form and are batting like regulars. GUI made an enviable pitching record on the trip, winning every full game that he was in the box. The next college ball to be played on the home grounds will be against Creighton college from Omaha on Wed nesday and in view of the closeness of the last week's game the argument ought to be very interesting.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland reached his home last evening somewhat fatigued by his jour ney from St. Louis, but highly pleased with the demonstrative welcome accord ed him in the west. In the course of a conversation, Mr. Cleveland was given half a dozen op portunities to declare his attitude to ward the presidential nomination of 1904, but he skilfully parried all questions bearing directly upon his own political future or that of his party. If he re gards himself as permanently out of the field of available presidential candi dates he studiously refrained from say ing so or even from hinting that he prefers the classic retirement of his Princeton home to a re-entrance into the activities of public life. "You must have observed," was said to him, "that such an ovation in Mis souri is now being interpreted as making you a formidable factor in the next presidential campaign." The sage of Princeton smiled, as if the suggestion were not at all displeas ing to him, but he was on his guard in a moment. "Oh, I attach little significance to that," he said. "It is natural for Amer icans to show their respect and approval In these demonstrative ways when they meet one who has held high official posts of honor through their prefer ment. Of course it is pleasant and gratifying to be the object of such a spontaneous welcome." FULTON WAS WRONG. Not All the Wheat Around Alva Is. Gone. At any rate not all the wheat on the prairies of Oklahoma has been killed by diought. A week ago the State Journal pub lished an interview with W. S. Fulton of Alva. Okla., who was of the opinion that without rain within the past week the wheat crop would be practically a failure. Oklahoma .has had little rain during the month past and the northern part in particular is beginning to show somewhat the effects of tiv. continued drv weather. But that t,1e wheat is killed is being indignantly denied by the new spapers and the real estate men of the territory who say mat UKiajronia can go dry for another month without losing their crops. The State Journal today received from G. F. McKnight of Alva a. pick age containing four or five stools of wheat, each of which held eight to fif teen stalks of wheat nearly two feet in length. All of it was fresh, green and well developed and looked like real Kan sas whe-it except for the little clods of red Oklahoma soil that clung to the roots. Manifestly all the wheat around Alva had not turned yellow, as describ ed by Mr. Fulton. There Is one consola tion "for the bread eaters of the world. If Oklahoma's wheat does fail Kansas will have enough to keep the market full. to inspectIvTn. g. Major Lockett, at Fort Riley, Assigned to the Service. Washington, May 4. Orders have been issued at the war department for the inspection of the militia organizations of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. These -inspections will be conducted un der the provisions of the military law j passed bv the last congress, wnicn ui r-ects that the state troops be supplied with the arms and accoutrements of the regular army. The orders relating to Kansas are as follows: "Major James Lockett, Fourth raval I rv, from Fort Riley, has been assigned I to the supervision of the inspection of the organized militia of Kansas, anil oi rected to proceed to Topeka for confer ence with the adjutant general, and there to commence his inspection." Kansas has a brigade of two regiments of twenty-three companies and two bat teries of artillery, having an aggregate strength of about 1.4(H). The brigade headquarters are at Topeka, and head quarters. First regiment, at Lawrence, with companies at Topeka, Burlingame, Burlington. Chanute, Ottawa. Hiawntha, Sabetha, Manhattan, Yates Center and Fredonia. The headquarters. Second in fantry, are at Newton, with companies at Wichita, Wellington. Sterling, New ton, Hutchinson, Earned, Osborne.

SLAUGHTER o f innocents has been in progress since the coming of the president, and although the sus pects held by the police freely admit that they never stuie a pocketbook in their lives, they are held just the same. Two of the number were turned over to the state, after being partially identified by losers. Another young pilgrim, who was with them when arrested, was turned loose Saturday with two cents in his pocket. Last night he came back and asked to see his companions, and Detective Lucas tossed him iflto the waiting room and told him to rest awhile, and at the same time give the touchable public a rest. Of course Duscher, as the suspect named himself, "roared," and after he had been there an hour he was released, without see ing his alleged confederates. Later he crossed the beat of Frank Hendricks, who ran him in at a rapid clip and charged him with vagrancy. When searched, behold a transformation. The man who went out Saturday eve with two cents had a postorRce order which he had bought and made payable to himself, for $75, also ten plunks in the coin of the realm. This time he will stay while the police try to find out how an honest man may invest two cents to bring a profit of J85 in one day, the Sabbath day at that. It Is the pop ular belief among the officers that he met a confederate who had been hold ing his share of the spoils, and then turned the $75, which was in bills, into a postoifice order for fear they were marced. Two other suspects, C. J. Lamb and George L. Moore, by acknowledgment, are still held for losers to look upon. C. P. Bolmar, the Potwin real estate man, came down this morning and sized them up, but said they were not "it." Mr. Bolmar was relieved of a bill book containing valuable papers down at the corner stone services, and it was found intact in the :ethany college grounds last evening. The thief had examined it carefully, and finding nothing of a cashable nature, bad tossed it aside. John Hawkins, an old soldier who was acting as cashier at the Saturday afternoon auction held at Fifth and Quincy street, caught a man in the act of "frisking" him for a fat wallet. He grappled the thief and hung on till a ladv found his pocketbook under a piece of furniture where it had evidently been thrown, and then he lost all interest in the suspect and "turned him go." The suspected one hit the pike. Just prior to John Rhodes, the second hand dealer, who was not satisfied with the deal. Rhodes followed the man to Third and Kansas avenue where he found an offi cer, and the suspect was picked green. No one appeared against him, however, and he was released. No one can charge the police with not doing what they could to abate the several dozen "big mits" and "yeag ers" who followed the presidential pro cession, but there is little chance of sticking any of the suspects as the losers are mostly delegates who will go back home before the crooks can b? brought to trial. Judge Hamilton was called upon this morning to hand justice to a former member of his company in the Twen tieth Kansas. While he was holding court this morning the jailer ushered in a tall voung man who looked at the court and raised his hand in military salute. r-3 h 11 n hi N.J i if!

The old negro had coaxed the child into his house when she was rescued by her mother, who came to the fore with a broomstick. Henderson, who is a col ored policeman of good standing, says he would have certainly killed the old man had he been present instead of his wife. George Flatt, an old man who runs a chili-hot-tamale mill down in the "bot toms," was arrested last night for keep ing a disorderly house. It is said by the officers that the "revelry by night" which is common to his place was more than they could bear. A young man named Claude Moore was arrested last evening on the charge of "drunk and assault." and fined $5 this morning, but from the looks of his face the "assault" charge belonged to some one else. He says his paternal ancester soaked him on the bun-coco with a cane. An ancient farmer, a May Nullify Carnegie's Offer of $1,000,000. New York, May 4. Lack of harmony among the associations of engineers in this county may nullify an offer of Andrew Carnegie to give $1,000,000 or more with which to establish a national center for engineering interests in this city. Rivalry exists among the var ious bodies of the engineering profes sion and a high official In one of the bodies said it is doubtful if all can live in peace in one room. Not until very recently was it known to three or four men to whom Mr. Carnegie consulted that he intended to found an institution which would be unique both in this country and in Europe. He intended that his gift should be used to erect a magnificent building as a monument of his gratitude to a profession with his business success had been closely identiiied. The building was to cost not less than $1,000. On, exclusive of the cost of the site. Ir would contain a perfectly appointed club to take the place of engineers' clubs now located on Fifth avenue. An auditorium with a seating capacity of 2 0" separate quarters for the four engineering bodies which would constitute the union and li braries whieb w-ould be unsurpassed in the engineering held. Mr. Carnegie has put hH proposal in writing and as trie matter l:cw stands it needs only the harmonious action of the. councils of the associations concern.fi. a meeting of which will be held Thursday to utilize the gift. It cannot injure, may do wondrous good. For wrinkles, blemishes, skin troubles use Satin-Skin Cream. 5c. 10 photos 10c, Lutes, 511 Kansas ave. VI ly f l I I K fi i I i i I A, (4.

"The educational institutions that 1 atn addressing, St. John's, Wesleyan, Bethany, all 01 them, are paying heed to their honor be it said that band or devoted men and women who take charge of the public schools are rjayiiii, heed, net only to the develocnient of the body and mind, but to the develop ment of what counts f'W so much more than either body or mind the develop ment of character. (Applause.) Thai is what counts in the long run char acter. Let any one of vou look at his nelghobrs. Who is. successful? The man of intellect? Yes. if he has got something more than intellect. But It matters not how bright he is, how bril liant he is, if he has not got the stay ing" duality in him, if he has not got the courage, pel severa nee, dogged reso lution not to accept defeat, then his in tellect will not bring him success. The man thttt wins is the man that has m him the quality to which we allude when we- say of a man that he is not only a uoexl man, hut a man. "As I e-ame here I h"ard some cheer ing which made me feel a little as if I were at a football game. A little dis tance back I was presented with a football by a representative of one of the local teams, and I said to them there that the best advice I could give to use in the great grame of life is the advice upon which a good football 1 layer acts don't flinch, don't foul, and hit the line hard. (Applause.) That counts m life just as it does in sports. Do not llinch, do not be afraid, do not wait to have an easy time and sit at home and wonder w hy the world- does not appreciate you. You are not going to win out that way. Go out and do your work. In the next place do it squarely; do not foul, do not wrong anyone; live so that the men with whom you are brought into contact will feel that while you are able to ta'te care of yourself, (and if you are not no one will take care of you) you do nit wrong any one else. Then hit the line hard; go at it; try to do your life work on the assumption that it is worth do ing", and if vou do you will succeed. "In closing, just one word of thanks and gratitude to the men of the (Irani Army. Everywhere I go in Kansas I see the men to whom we owe it that there i.s a chance for me to be here at all; that there is any country for us to celebrate; that there is any president to come to any part of this country. That is so. We have gotten so accustomed to the fact that we often forget its sig nificance. If we were now split up into a jungling" knot of contemptible little commonwealths (and that is what we would be if it were not for you) there would not be one of us holding up his head as a proud citizen of the nation which is not only one of the foremost in the world now, but of a nation with an absolutely limitless future of great ness, of service, and of improvement during the centuries to come. And I am happy to say to you children, to you stuelents of an older growth, that I do not have to ask you to pay heed to my preaching. I ask yyu to pay heed to the practice of the men whom you seu around you in this community, the men who from 'til to '05 rendered the su preme service to the nation when Abra ham Lincoln called for that service. (Applause.) Of course I believe In you; of course 1 am certain of your future, and I am certain of the future of all of us because I think the American nation as a wholeis composed of much such ma terial as that I am addressing today." (Great applause.) AT ELLSWORTH. The preat number of students at Sa lina and the variety of educational in stitutions represented Bethany collego of Lindsborg, Kansas Wesleyan univer sity. Kansas Wesleyan Business col lege, Salina Normal university, St John's Military school, and the public schools evidently started a new train of thought in the president's mind, to which he gave expression at "Ellsworth. It was oarticularly a Kansas speech. He said: "As I have passed through Kansas yesterday afternoon and toelay I have been struck not merely with the beauty and fertility of your state, not merely with your great material advantages, not merely with the strong, rugged typj of your men. but I have been strut k also with the great and successful efforts made by Kansas in the cause 01 education by your colleges. ytur schools I am glael of it. particularly for this rea son: Kansas is like a blotjeled horse, Kansas needs education not to develop or stimulate the dualities, but to diree-i and train them.'' "Kansas is bound to make its weight felt for jrooel or evil. More and more as I have seen your people I have re alizecl their power, the power in the state, the power of your citizenship, the power of Kansas manhood anel woman-. hoeid. and wherever power exists there is a chance of its going wrong. A strong man. because of his strength, if he goes wrong car. do worse than a weak man. Kansas maele a great record in the civil war. No state has more soldiers, more of those men who won honors in the times tr.at tried men's souls. And you of the younger generation sent forth many of your number instantly the minute the call was made upon thenx and I would count with absolute cer tainty upon a regiment from Kansas doing its full share of duty if not a lit tle more in e-ase th"v were needed. "Now. having that power means, that if that power is not well directed it will be misse'd. Any country in which there is an abounding virility, abounding manhood, abounding courage, abound ing strength, needs to educate and train that strength, that courage), that power, und.er pe.nalty of seeing it. possibly, go astray. I congratulate you and I con gratulate the nation upon the educa tional work done in Kansas, bee-ause you have the type of citizen which, if it is a force on the right side, represents the most potent of forces on the right side, and if it goes grong because of Its very strength, its very power will do an inrinity of harm. For that reason espe cially, I feel that the whole country is to be congratulated because of your ex cellent educational work here, the work of the school, the work of the college, the work of education in its broadest and deepest and truest sense. "There are communities which need to edii'-ate people in order to bring them up. You do not neerl that iiere. What y e-.u need her e is what any strong and high spirited community needs to be educated in order that it may go right. Just as it is with a horse. Take a per fectly quiet drudge of a horse and train him and he will never turn out very bad or very good either, and take the horse that is best worth riding or driv ing and the high spirited thoroughbred, and If he is badly trained he is not an enjoyable animal to handle. Any sec tion of the people who have the strength, who have the power In them, need to have that power guided and shaped aright, and I congratulate you of Kan sas that yours is being guided and shaped aright. I believe in you with all my heart and soul. I am proud of you and prophesy a glorious future for you." (Cheers and applause.) AT VICTORIA. The chief incident of the trip occurred at Victoria, the Russian settlement in Kills county. Here the men were lined up on one side of the track and the wo men on the other. As the train stopped forty or fifty little girls in white, each with a flag, began singing, "The Red, White and Blue." The train was scheduled to stop only a moment, but the president said: "Mr. Conductor, don't let the train start till I am ready. This is too good to miss." As the singing ceased two tiny girls came up to present the president, one with a vasi of flowers, the other witn a beautiful bouquet. It was a long ways up to the president and a secret service man lifted each of the little girls up to present her gift. It pleased the president greatly. It was at Victoria that it has been announced that the president would speak in. German, the language spoken there, but instead he spoke in English. He said: "Let me thank you with all my heart for having come here to greet me. I have not enjoyed any meeting more than this. 1 congratulate you and I congratulate the United btates that we have such citizens in it. I congratulate you on what you have done here on the farms, in business, on all your work, ane! I congratulate you especially upon the children, upon the way they are being brought up, and upon the way they sing and the tunes they sing. It did me good to see such lirst class young American citizens here and I am pleased and proud to have had the chance of seeing you." Then as an afterthought he saiel, "1 wish I could speak in German. I un derstand it well, and if you should speak to me in German I could under stand you," he said to a man in front of him. "But I can't speak German," said the man in pure Kngllsh, and everybody laughed. A v,on c; -o rterVtnns 200 neo- I pie were waiting when the train pulled 1.. c.ia .t,...i.

The president told the people that he had come to spend Sunday with them, because he wanted a quiet day, and he thanked them for their welcome. The side track where the presidential train stood over Sunday was roped off, leaving about 40 feet of space on each ride of tha train. Local guards in charge of the sheriff of Wallace county, kept the people outside the rcpes. This gave the secret service men in the pvesldent's party a chance to rest, al though one of them stayed on guard at night. lib T 1 1,3 e Deat'Olt T'5I t HnxiOllR to I riesiueiie ifc7ir.-.t j, tl- o a Vie ci-viileT get out anil wain. t-un 1 after he reached Sharon Springs. Hv 1 .,ii en ok lotto- ms the crowd re mained about the train, but as soon as it had dispersed and he could slip away unobserved, he took Dr. Butler. Dr. Rixey and the two senators and started off across the prairies to the north in the darkness. The air was clear, crisp and invigorating, and the president was glad to feel the prairie sod and th-: buffalo grass again beneath his feet, for the president loves the prairie. The president led the other members of the party a swift pace, chatting of things on the prairies. A coyote howlea a short distance away. A single coyote I sounds like a whole pack, and the prest i dent told the others all about it. A prairie owl hooted in the stillness of the nleht, startling the other members of the party, but it w as tne presiaent w no told what made the sound. Afer an hour's walk Senator Long re marked that he had not been feeling verv strong for some time. "This walk is just the thing for you.1 saiel the president. "It will do you irood." Finally he ccmsented to turn back. "We must have walked ten miles." said Senator Long wearily as they reached the train. "More like twenty," said Senatot Burton. "About five, I should say," said the president. None of the photographers on the presidential train take any pictures on Sunday. It is objectionable to Presi dent Roosevelt, and nothing would in duce one of the newspaper men of the president's iiarty to disobey his wishes. "The president has never told us not to take any Sunday pictures, but he has made us understand that it is very dis tasteful to him to have Sunday pictures taken, and I, for one, won't do it for anybody," said George B. Luckey. rep resentative of Leslie's Weekly on the presidential train. "We are here prac tically as the guests of the president, and this alone would induce us to obey his wishes even if our personal regard for him did not do so." The only pictures taken in Sharon Springs Sunday were taken by local phctographers and others, who knew nothing of the president's wishes, and even these were distasteful to the oresK der.t. The manufacturers of a new patent lop which possesses certain phe-nomenal qualities sent Senator Burton one to be presented to the president, with an ap propriate speech. It was a gold-plated, diamond-studded top. maeie specially for the president. Senator Burton hint self had a common one. Senator Jiurtoa maele the presentation on the train. Then the president was anxious to spin his toy. He first tried it on an onyx stand, but it wouldn't spin. The dining table was cleared off and both the president and the senator started to spinning. A rivalry developed to see which could make his top spin the long est. Poth got excited over the toy, while Senator Long stood on the other side of the table and umpired the game, plmost as excited as the two sartici rants. As on old ranchman came out of tff church after the morning services ibout five handreel people surrounded the church door. "Gosh!" he exclaimed, "ain't this a big crowd." And it w-rss big for the place. It rep resented half the people of Wallace county gathered into small compass. W. M. Glenn, of Tribune, one of the prominent Republican politicians of the short grass country, drove 35 miles with a party to catch a glimpse of the presi dent Sunday. Only the president. Secretary Rarties and Senator Burton of the president's party wore silk hats to the services Sunday motrning. These were not the only silk hats in the crowd, however. Rev. Mr. Wikstrand. the Swedish min ister from Assaria. wore as stylish a tile as r nyone. The Swedish colony at Sharon Springs is an offshoot of the one in Saline county, and Rev. Mr. Wik- strand goes out to Sharon Springs about once a month to preach. Two of the president's visitors Sun day afternoon were the sons of a Gree ley county ranchman named Raines, who brought the boys forty miies to Bee the presielent. One is five years old and the other three Senator Warren of Wyoming, accom panied by Mr. and Mrs. William 1. Foulkes, reached Sharon Springs from the west Sunday morning and stopped over with the president. Mr. Foulke3 was formerly civil service commis sioner. Paul Alexander Johnstone, Kansas City's high-toned palmist, accompanied by Harry Landis, formerly warden of the Kansas penitentiary, came to Sharon Springs from Kansas City Sun day morning. Paul Alexander has read the palms of most famous people in the -west and he wanted a chance to read the palm of President Roosevelt. Tne nearest he came to it was when the president mounted his horse for his af ternoon ride. The palmist saw the back of the president's hand with a glove on at a distance- of 100 yards. Dr. A. B. Jones, known as "Jones of Trego" in the legislature, occupied the central seat in the pulpit at the ser vices Sunday morning, sitting between Rev. Mr. See and Rev. Mr. Wikstrand. As a result of the fake interview in a Kansas City paper Saturday morn ing, quoting the president as criticising St. Louis for its treatment of visitors to the World's fair dedication, the pres ident was flooded with telegrams from eastern papers asking if the interview was correct, and telegrams of apology from St. Louis people. The interview was. of course, promptly denied. All statements are sent out over the sig nature of Mr. Loeb, secretary to the president. The president himself never makes a statement through the news papers, he never submits to an inter view, and it is a great breach of eti quette for a newspaper to quote him In the form of an interview. The train in which the president travels is Pullman equipment through out, furnished by the Pennsylvania railroad company, but is paid for by the president. .The president of the I'nited States is one official who does not ride on a pass. The train is in charge of John F. McCoy, a Pennsyl vania railroad official, whose specialty is transcontinental excursion trains. Mr. McCoy has been with the train since it started and has general charge of the equipment. The foremost car in the train is a Pullman baggage train. The next, the Atlantic, the buffet car. is one of the finest ever built. It was one of the Pullman exhibit at the Chicago World's fair and the interior is all hand carved. At the close of the Charleston exposi tion it was being taken south to bring the Liberty Bell back to Philadelphia from the exposition, when the engine blew up, blowing every scrap of iron out from under the Atlantic, but leav ing the interior without serious dam age. The dining car. the "Gilsey" is in charge of K. J. Martin, a steward who has traveled with Mr. Roosevelt in charge of the commissary service; ever since the latter was governor of New York. The "Senegal," the fourth car In the train, is the sleeper given over to the newspaper men and artists. They, together with the secret service men and the minor attaches of the presi dent's party, use the diner and the At lantic almost exclusively also. The fifth car is the "Texas." a compartment car, occupied by the stenographers, the se cret service, and the president's guests, i Dr. Rixey and Dr. Rutler. Secretary I Root, and Senators Burton and Long also occupied this car at night while they were on the presidential train. The last car is the president's private car, in which he remains almost en tirely while he is traveling. There he eats, sleeps and works. ie is continu ally receiving telegrams, he has his stenographers with him, and going through Kansas, Assistant Secretary Barnes was with him most of the time. Secretary Loeb is today on his way j west and will join the party probably at j Albuquerque. i The I'nion Pacific management took every precaution possible to insure the safety cf the presidential train. Just a few minutes ahead of it ran a pilot train, made up of the private cars of Superintendent Brinkerhoff, of Kansas City, with Mr. Brinkerhoit himself in charge. Accompaning the president's train is E. Buckingham, of Omaha, sup erintendent of transportation on the Union Pacific system. On the train also from Kansas City to Kllis was A. T. Palmer, division superintendent of the eastern division, who had immediate charge of the train crews. On the route the train was joined by A. F. Vic Roy, division superintendent of the central division, who took Mr. Palmer's place west of Kllis. N. H. Loomis, general attorney for the Union Pacific, also went with the train-to Sharon Springs, 1 and was at companied by his son, Alex I ander C. Looinis. The president extend ed to Mr. Loomis a special invitation to lunch with him Saturday. The schedule of the presidential train I is limited to 35 miles an hour. From To i peka to Junction City on Saturday very I slow time was made. Mr. Loomis re marked to Mr. Barnes, assistant secre tary to the president, that the train i could make 70 miles an hour if neces sary anel asked why the schedule was kept so low. "We cannot afford to take any chances with -the president," replied Mr. Barnes. "The limit which we place on the speed of the train is 35 miles an hour, although the engineers sometimes get up to 40 miles." Assistant Secretary Barnes is one of the most modest. unassuming young men imaginable. He has a frank open way about him and a slow- honest sort of smile, but has a force about him that has elevated him to the responsi bilities of his present position. In the absence of Secretary Loeb he has en tire charge of the management of the president's schedule and affairs. E. Buckingham, superintendent of transportation of the Union Pacific. :s a formerly of Kansas man. Years ago his father was a reporter on the Atchi son Champion, then owned by John A. Martin. Mr. Buckingham was once "devil" in the Champion office. When he reached manhood he entered tne railroad service, and has risen step by step until he now stands next to the president of the Union Pacific in the operating department of that great road, and he is still a compara tively young man. Mr. Buckineham will accompany the president as far as Denver at present, where the presidential train leaves the Union Pacific and goes south. He will again meet the president at Ogden, Utah, the latter part of May, and ac company him east to Omaha. Mr. Buckingham has made the ar rangements for the president's overland ride on horseback from Laramie to Cheyenne. Wyoming. The horse which the "president will use is one of seven that the LTnion Pacific company keeps at Chevenne for the purpose of chasing train robbers. The horFes are trained three times a day to hurry into an ex press 0r baggage car and are trained in riding on the cars. They are kept in IOC Mills DRESS GOODS! BlacK and Colored. DRESS GOODS!

The horses are chosen for their speed and wind, and Mr. Buckingham says the one which the president will ride is an espe cially fine animal. Frank L. Webster and Joseph H. Langer of the Denver Post met the presidential train at Shaion Springs. Mr. Langer is a Post artist, and Mr. Webster handles the news features. Mr. Webster was a Lawrence newspaper man up to four years ago, when he went to Denver as an editorial writer on the Times, and has since become con nected with the Post staff. When he lived in Kansas he was noteel for look ing like John J. Ingalls. He is still somewhat Ingallsesciue in appearance, but has more llesh than formerly. The president's secret service men are greatly pleased with the arrangements made for the president's visit at all Kansas towns. In some places the spaces where the president is to go is not properly roped off and it is imios sible to keep the crowds back. At such times the secret service men have trou ble. But at every town in Kansas where the president's train stopped the crowds were exceedingly ciuiet and or derly, and the local arrangements were well made. This, was so noticeable that it caused comment on the part of the presi dent's guards. "These Kansas crowds are all right," remarked Frank H. Tyree, chief of1 the secret service men. "There are no hood lums among them, and there is no dif ficulty in handling them." Mr. Tyree is the man with the light moustache and curly hair who stood in front of the president while he was lay ing the cornerstone in Topeka Friilay and who sat immediately behind him during his speech at the Auditorium. Presieient Roosevelt never steps outside his car door where there is a crowd but what Mr. Tyree is immeeliately behind him to watch the crowd. There are a number of other secret service men on the train. When a stop is tei be made two or three of them drop off the train at the point where the rear of the presi dent's car will be when it stops. If the presieient is to speak from the end of the train they immediately close up at each corner of the car and keep the crowd back six or eight feet. If the president descends to go a few feet to a platform, they together with Mr. Tyree close in arounel him and then guard the entrance to the platform while he is making his speech. One of the party of secret service men is W. W. Sterne, who belongs to the postoffice department. He also looks after the arrival and the dispatch of a!i the mail for the presidential party. Some of the secret service men are so quiet and unassuming abeiut their duties that they do not seem to be connected with the president's train. They never talk about their work and do not care to give it publicity, even to the publi ec.tiei cf their names. It is a wert known fact that PreJsielent Roosevelt personally tloes not like to be so closely guarded, but he realizes the necessity for it. not so much on his own account as for the safety of the geevernment. The presieient as Mr. Roosevelt c -u a take care of himself, but as the presi dent of the I'nited States he has if submit to being guardetl. There is only one real newspaper cor respondent on the presidential train all the time. He is Lindsay Dennison. or the New York Sun. The Associated Press and the Scripos-McRae associa tion berth have representatives on th" train, but they do no work for special papers. There are also representative of the Mew York illustrated weeklies, but they look after the pictorial f"a.' tures of the trip to a great extent rather than to the news features. Mr. Dennison "Denny" his associates familiarly call him is one of the brightest of Is'ew Y'ork newspaper men. He does considerable magazine work outside of his newspaper correspond-e--ca. H. A. Coleman represents the Asso ciated Press on the president's trip, and R. H. Hazard represents the Scripps McRae association. Mr. Hazard wj, with Presieient McKinlev in his western trip four years ago. He went with Prince Henry "around the circle," am; now he is going over the west again with President Roosevelt. Last year he went to the scene of the Mont Pele-u disaster for his association and ascenei ed the burning mountain. Oee..i-ge 13. Lue-ke-y represents Leslie's Weekly. R. G. Dunn is the Collier man. and N". Layermick is the reoresentativ of Harper's Weekly. H. A. Stronmyei of a firm of high-class scenic photog raphers, is the official stenographer. Then there are the telegraph men, P YV. Williams or the w estern I nton and J. K. Goech of the Postal Telegraph crmpany. They attenel to all the tele graph business for the president's party, both official and also press dispatches. Three newspaper men joined the president's train at Topeka and came as far as Sharon Springs, representing two Topeka papers and one at Kansas City. Charles M. Harger joined the Ptrty at Abilene, as diel also Colonei E. C. Little, the latter on invitation of Mr. Dennison. Colonel Little went only rnpamj, many prices that will goods that are desirableness for This Week's Arc Offerings Are Worthy Your Quick Response. to Bavaria, however, where he met an east-bound train. YV. H. Mackey, I'nited States mar shal, joined the party at Junction City, but alternatetl betwee-n the president's train and that of Superintendent Hrinlf erht-itT tVii nitett- tt-eii,-, u.hut, just five minutes ahead of the presiden tial train. Elihu Root, secretary of war, accom panieei President Reosevelt through Kansas as far as Bavaria, a little town west of Salina. It was there that the east-bound train was met. Bavaria was not down for a stop, but the presidential train stoppeel there to allow Secretary Root to make the transfer. Secretary Root returned east te attend a meeting of National Guard officers at Columbus, Ohio. Sunday afternoon a Wallae-e county ranchman, Josiah Gorsuch, presenteel the Roosevelt children, through their father, with a young badger. The pres ident accepted the gift anel was mak ing an examination of the animal when it began to nibble the presidential finger. "He seems to be hungry." re marked the president. "Take him to the car and feed him," he said 1 to a messenger. "I would not elare to go home to my boys without that badger," he after wards remaiked to some newspaper men. And so Mr. Wallace County Badger becomes a member of the Roose velt family. Senator Long and Senator Burton have both been practicing horseback riding for several weeks, but neither ef them rode half as far as did the presi dent. Some of the presidential party de termined to take a horseback ride i t their own, apart from the president, Sundav afternoon, anel a half dozen of them started out led by N. H. L-ooini That is. they were to have been led by Mr. Loomis: in reality they were led by Mr. Dennisem, of the New Y'ork Sun. But it wasn't Mr. Dennison's fault. The horse which he rode is the fastest running horse in Wallace county, and its custom was to take the lead. It was one of the kind. too. that the harder one; pulls on them the faster the-y go. Mr. Dennison had no ptioner landed in his saddle than the horse was off like a flash. He went through the rope fenee around the presidential train anel struck off over the slope before the other riders knew what was happening. He was out of sight in two minutes. "We had gone about three miles," said Mr. Dennison when he got bae K, "and I was getting pretty tired trying to hold the brute. I couldn't make any impression on him. Finally my strength gave out and I Kxisened on the rein and veiled whoa. That horse stopped in three steps, and I got off and laid on the ground. The horse was all right the trouble was with me. I didn't un derstand the combinat iein." R. H. Hazard came near meeting serious mishap. The horse he wa.-i tiding stepped in a prairie dog hole anel fell with its rider. Fortunately it. dM not f ill on Mr. Hazard. The latter wan shaken up considerably but escaped serious c onseuuences. A great ileal of credit is due the peo ple of Sharon Springs for the mannf'r in which they enteitained the president. Though few in numbers rhev are all wool and a yard wide. W. K. Ward, for merly representative from Wallace? county in the legislature, and G. R. Yeoelhouse. the present representative, had general charge of the arrange.. rru-nts. The weather on the trip through Kan sas Saturday was abominable. It was cole! anel raw- and the wind was damp, but notwithstanding this there were great crowds along the way. Upwards of 15, 010 people heard the president speak at Salina, many of whom had been standing in the cold for an hour in order to be sure of a good place to hear and see. At nearly every station th tops of cars near hy would be crowded, and from nearly every eleva tion and from the windows of the near by houses cameras were leveled at the presieient. The weather at Sharon Springs Sun day was delightful. A finer elay could not have been made to order. There was considerable breeze in the morning, but this is to be expecteel in western Kansas. The air was pure and bracing, however, anel the sun shone bright and warm. There are still a considerable number of snow- banks dotting the prairies in Wallace county, the remnants of the great snow storm of last Wednesday. Stockmen say it was the worst storm known in ten years, and fully five hun dred cattle perished in Wallace county on that day, and the surrounding coun ties suffered as much. The prairies had begun to grow- green, and the men with big herds had turned their cattle out on the range. They had scattered and it was impossible to gather them in before the storm came on. As a result the animals were without shelter, and they- simply drifted befeire the storm. The weak and thin ones were soon ex hausted anel perished. One man with a herd of 500 followed them for twelve miles the day following the storm and found dead ones with his brand ou in that distance. I 1 i

I'.-autiful as it is, however. imin; t Hie lavish expenditure of ini.n'w. it is to be immeasurably im proved by the outlay of million: in the very near future. Among the greatest -r these improvements will be the new union station, plans for which have I,,,,.,, recently submitted and approved. The subject is not a new one, having lm been agitated, the two old stations iiaviig become obsolete, and. in fact, never having answered the require ments of an ordinary town. The old II. and station is an eyesore, an archi tectural nionsi rosi ty, while that of the Baltimore and Potomac both in con trol of the Pennsylvania management though fairly adequate architecturally, stands rii;b in the center of the city's parks and is wholly out of place, p.ut now that congress, the District commis sioneis and the Pennsylvania railroad are at tine; in harmony there is a prom ise of belter things in store for Wash inq ton. According to the official plans, the structure will be longer than the Capi tol, or 7(10 feet, HO feet high and corre spondingly wide. It is to be built of pure white marble. Its location, at the junction of Massachusetts and "Dela ware avenues, within four squares of the capito!, gives it a central situation advantageous in every respect and, to gether with the elimination of grade crossings in the district, will mark an advance in Washington's improvement h; ;r ...SjV-ii 1 "it- I 2 i w- 'l m THE PROPOSED UNION RAILROAD STATION IN WASHINGTON. notable above everything- of the kind front, which itself will be made large but it is promised that it shall do so in ed ceiling.

As the building itself takes up only about one-third the floor high, the enormous length, of the sta- troops in review and great throngs of: will be one of the most imposing of its dimensions of the structure, and in case tion seems to dwarf its magnificent pro- visitors. j class in the world, its great waiting of an emergency requiring additional portions, and consequently its height is A $4,000,000 marble building Is "not to j room will be commensurate with its room it can be increased to 500 feet in to be artificially increased by a sunken be sneezed at." whether it comes up to vast size, or 245 feet long and 135 feet length by throwing into it the space re terrace in the middle of the plaza in our exaggerated expectations or not, 1 wide, with a lofty arched and decorat- served for lunchrooms, etc. Outside the waiting hall will be the customary rooms for the handling of baggage by perfected appliances, and beneath the lofty roof of the Delaware avenue ex tension space for thirty-six tracks, thus providing for all contingencies. Large as it is, the projected union station is only in keeping with the new order of things in Washington since the park commission was created two years ago for consideration of schemes for the city's betterment. This com mission, composed of eminent architects and landscape gardeners appointed by the District committee with the sanc tion of congress, has undertaken the restoration of Washington along lines in harmony with the original plan of j the city by L'Enfant more than a hun dred years ago. This comprehensive scheme has stood the test of more than a century, and the best the commission could do, in its opinion, after visiting the finest capitals of Europe and cogi tating over the plan for months, was to recommend its adoption and elabora tion. The chief feature of the L'Enfant scheme was the uniting of the two great structures of the capital the Cap itol on the hill and the White House near the Potomac by a parklike con nection called the Mall. This stretch of verdant park aiW gardens is more than a mile in length and was intended as an emerald setting for great edifices. On each side of it were to be erected the great department buildings as they should become necessary, and this ag gregation of park and magnificent structures was to be the fitting nucleus of the city. It is all the more remarkable, in view of the indorsement of the plan by the commissioners, that this comprehensive scheme was projected when Washing ton was virtually a swampy forest. But it was not adhered to, unfortunately, for in the stress of subsequent times the city fathers allowed themselves to be diverted by the prospect of public emol ument, so that along Pennsylvania av enue, between it and the Mall, rows of shanties, tenements and cheap hotels rose mushroomlike to disgrace the na tion's capital. And' the worst of it all is that they are there yet, as any visitor can testify who has to wend his way for more than half the distance between them In going from the capitol to tha White House or treasury. It is pro posed now to restore the Mall to its pristine glory as originally intended, and these eyesores will be torn down to make way for others more in harmony with the general scheme of adornment. One of the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of carrying out the new-old plan of embellishment was the station of the Pennsylvania railroad, which not only stood upon the inner edge of the Mall, close to Pennsylvania avenue, but was. of course, connected by wide track age with its main line north and south. Strange to say, the management held titles to the land granted it by some shortsighted administration of the old regime, and all endeavors to oust it were futile until President Cassatt him self proposed to join with the commis sioners in beautifying the capital. Jt was at first proposed that the Penn sylvania remove Its trackage and build a new station to the south of the Mail, but fortunately through the acquisition of control over the Baltimore and Ohio system the two roads were united under one management, and it was made pos sible to erect a station that could be used as a terminal for both. The old sites will be abandoned, all grade cross ings will be abolished, and thus tha ground will be left clear for the carry ing out of the great scheme of embel lishment," which will include the erec tion of monuments, a memorial bridge, hundreds of small parks in and around the city, boulevards and speedways, ar tificial islands in the Potomac, etc., and the erection of public buildings on an intelligent plan.

Sweei land of lib er ty WALTER JOHANNES DAM ROSCH, fa mous composer, lecturer and conduct or, was born in Prussia, 1862, but came to the United States with his father, whom he succeeded as director of several ora torios and symphony societies at his death in 1885. He was only twenty-three when he took up this labor of love, but from the first gave promise cf the great attainments of his later life in the world of music. The reputation of Frank Damrosch is only second to that of his younger brother as a lec turer, organizer and music teacher, especially in choral music. "We need better music in our schools," he says. "Let us begin to have good music, for music is the ennobler of true patriotism." JOHN PHILIP SOUSA, the inimitable Amer ican now garnering laurels abroad, was born in Washington, 1854, was musical conductor at seventeen and won fame as lead er of the United States Marine Corps band, 1880-82. Few men living have composed so many marches, songs, waltzes and light operas as he. Bandmaster John Duss, who ,is four years the junior of Sousa, is his keen rival for hon ors, and surpasses him in eccentricity. He taught school in Kansas, farmed in Nebraska, studied music in Germany and finally brought up as "patriarch" of the Harmony society at Economy, over which and its communistic fund of more than $5,000,000 he rules w,ith a rod of iron. HENRY LOUIS REGINALD DE KOVEN is one of the few "musical Yankees" living who has belted the world with comic operas. Born in Middletown, Conn., 1861, he studied music abroad, married one of ex-Senator Farwell's beautiful daughters and resides in Washington, where he com poses such delightful operas as "The Begum," "Robin Hood," "Rob Roy" and "Foxy Quiller." After a musical education in Germany, Vic tor Herbert, Dublin born, grandson of Lover, famous novelist, came to this country in 1886. He has been bandmaster of the Twenty-second regiment of New York since 1S94 and conductor of the Pittsburg orchestra since 1898. As a composer he is well known by his "Prince Ananias," "Idol's Eye," etc. rl TJERR ARTHUR NIKISCH was born in Germany, but became an American musician after he had achieved a Euro pean reputation. He is forty-seven years old. At eleven he entered the Royal Conservatory of Music at Vienna and carried off marly prizes. Coming to the United States, he reached the climax of his fame as conductor of the Boston Symphony orchestra. Like Herr Nikisch, Emil Paur attracted such attention in his native country, Austria, (nat, his fame extending to America, he also was invited over to the land of the free. Con ducted the Boston symphony 1893-98, since leader of the Paur orchestra and 1899-1900 of the Metropolitan opera, New York. He is now a New Yorker and a first class American. DUDLEY BUCK, the oldest member of this musical coterie, is a Connecticut product, dating from 1839. He studied in Dresden and Paris, but made his great rep utation in the United States. Was for several years the popular organist of Boston's Music hall and later organist at Holy Trinity, Brook lyn. He is a famed composer of church and organ music, operas and choruses. Reversing the usual custom, David Bis pham, a native of Philadelphia, went abroad for his laurels. He got them, too, as principal baritone of the Royal opera, London, with which hs has been connected since 1891. He is forty-six years old. and his baritone roles in German, French and Italian have made his fortune. Now giving recitals in America. NAHAN FRANKO first saw light in New Orleans, 1861, and mada his bow to the public in com pany with Patti at the age of eight, when he played a violin solo iti New York. After studying at the Royal academy, Berlin, 1870-73, he returned to the United States and made good the promise of his youth. Francisco Fanciulli was born in Italy fifty years ago and educated in Flor ence, where he afterward led grand opera. Coming to this country in 1876, he finally succeeded Sousa as leader of the Marine Corps band, and five years ago became bandmaster of the Seventy-first regiment of New York. -yii-W Njb-J&ite 1 FMDM hi it be true that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has consented to finance the great railway scheme for uniting: all the republics in the three Americas, it may be said of this stupendous undertak ing that one person conceived it. and another carried it out, for the man who originated it is still living and hopes to witness its achievement. This man is Mr. Hinton Rowan Helper, who is new seventy-three years of age. but who gave out his conception of a great railway for connecting Dering strait with the strait of Magellan nearly for ty years ago. The "Three Americas' railway" project was received with scoi n and scoffmgs when it was first announced, but after James G. Blaine took it up and it was sanctioned by the pan-American conference which met in Washington thirteen years ago last No vember there followed congressional ap propriations for exploration, surveys and a voluminous report which has kept the subject before the world. So today In view of th vast development of America and the extension of our rail way systems in all directions the scheme no longer wears an aspect chi merical or quixotic. As to whether such a system, project ed to unite the capital of the United States with that of the Argentine Re public.' not to say Alaska and Patago nia, will be a profitable undertaking de-P'-nds upon the interpretation of the term. There is little doubt that its ex cessive h-ngth of more than 10.000 miles would "break its back" in many places unless tiatlic were diverted to various ports ulung IV w ay. say. at Cartagena, Colun aivl Tehunntepec, connecting with lines of steamers for Tampa, New York or New Orleans on the Atlantic coast and from several points on the Pacific for Californian ports. But as to the ultimate benefit of such a line to the republics of Central and South America there can be scarcely a doubt. Com mercially considered, with an eye to di rect returns from traffic and freight, the scheme is chimerical: but sentimental ly viewed the conception is a noble one and worthy of adoption. Incalculable results will flow from the development of interior countries at present cut off from the world, such as the coffee, rub ber, cabinet wood and mineral regions of the Andean slopes; from the stimu lus which it will give to local and inter national trade, and from the welding together of scattered communities. Revolutions will decrease as people are brought together through the competi tion of commerce, for they nearly al ways start in the sparsely settled dis tricts of Central and South America and work their way to the centers of population, swelling as they go. Above all. the influence exerted by the United States, the largest of these sister republics, will he immeasurably ennanced, for the projection of an all rail route from the capital of the I. nited States to and through all the capitals of the southern republics will tend to- ward a unification of sentiment and methods, with the great northern re i public always dominant. That the "lit j tie sisters in the south'' are already i looking to this nation for guidance has I been made manifest on several occa i sions. the most recent being the pan- American alliance in support of the j Monroe doctrine proposed by Argentina. The headlong dive taken by Argentina's minister into the sea of diplomacy dis turbed the waters considerably when he stated in the name of his government that "the principle w hich we maintain TO THE ARGEMT1ME fi oPtl A T L A N T I ySZ, I lvL Vr m cfJeo vj-o ocean ?if f-ri Jr &ffy turpi i TOUT T7T 4 m jl Njg PRESENT MODfc OF TPiiri im cm iTM MAP SHOWING TEE PS0P0SED PAN-AilEEICAIT HAILEOAD AND ITS EEA17CHES. is that a public debt cannot give i ise to an armed intervention, and much less to the material occupation of the soil of American nations by any Kuropean j power." This was a step in advance of the most extreme enunciation of the Monroe doctrine by our own govern ment and trenched upon ground hith erto considered as unsafe, diplomatical ly speaking, but it shows the interest taken by the southern republics in the "doctrine" itself an"d is a straw indi cating the trend of the current. As a quietus upon incipient "revolu tions," then, and as a means making for a desirable homogeneity of the road will prove of infinite value to the world at large and worth all it will cost. Estimating Its total length at rather more than 10,000 miles, nearly one-half the system regarded as a whole is already built, for one may travel by rail from any large city of the United States to the isthmus of Te- huantepec, a distance of about 3,400 miles, and another thousand miles are j already in existence in various parts of j South America. Roughly speaking, i there remain 5,500 miles to build, and i the estimated cost of the system is put at $210,000,000: so if Mr. Carnegie is still yearning for methods to squander his fortune so that he may die- poor he Jias here the opportunity of a lifetime. It is doubtful, however. If he Intends to devote to the scheme more than enough to finish the preliminary inves tigations, in w hich case the subject re mains almost in statu quo, for during the past thirteen years surveyors and engineers have been over the entire route. Congress has expended J65.000 for surveys and an elaborate report, and the various republics are pledged to contribute whatever is necessary. Forty years have elapsed since the scheme was initiated and thirteen sine it was enthusiastically adopted by th international conference at Washing ton. The surveys were long ago com pleted, and a large map in relief drawn to a scale was on exhibition at th World's Columhian exposition at Chi cago in lSf3. Men have risked their lives and health in explorations, engi neers have filed their reports, and it is now known that the project is not only feasible, but ultimately likely to be re alized. Two great railway systems. th Mexican Central and the National. cros the border of Mexico and extend far oown into that republic, connecting st the City of Mexico w ith a Mexican road for Oaxaca, 343 miles, which is soon to be joined to another line to the M?xico Ouatemala boundary. Some of the most difficult work will be encountered in Guatemala, Salvador. Nicaragua and Costa Rica, where the lines already ex isting aggregate less than 1,000 miles, and it is estimated that another thou sand will be required to complete the system to the isthmus of Panama. The roughest of the work will be encounter ed in Colombia, 1,372 miles: in Ecuador, 365 miles: Peru. 1,671: Bolivia, 774. and 1,143 in Argentina. But there is already a road southward from Cuzeo, in Peru, to La Paz, in Bolivia, toward which tha very complete system in Argentina, soon to be connected with Chile, is run ning rapidly northward; so that about the only great gap exists north of Cuzco. Even at this time, forty years after the scheme was announced, it is impos sible to fix a date for its completion, but the most sanguine of its promoters pre dict a through route from all the cities of the United States to and through South America as far as Buenos Ayres as early as the year IMO.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, 3IOXDAY EVENING. MAT 4, 1003. 9 THE HIDDEN DOOR. (By M. Quad.) Faekett street woke up one Tuesday Doming to tind that the shutters had. not been taken down from the vi!H!ows cf ISurchnrd's shop, For thirty-two years, old Kurehard, as everybody eallea Lint, had opened his shop for business six days of the week at 7 o'clock In the mcrnlUK. He had never tak?n ti busi ness day off nor lost one through sick ness. Old Burehard had a combination shop. He rlam-1 watches, tinkered Hocks' and boupht and sold rare books and an tique furniture. He was suspected ot buying arti lot from thieves now and then, and he lent money to hard-up people at usurous it1.;.? rest. No one pur bis wealth at less than $75,000. and many doubled those Hermes, He attended to oil bis busine prr liven r lone In the rear of his shop, and railed no man his friend. The belief was, when the shop wax found closed, that the old man had di"fi In his bed. and about S:;:o o'clock th. police came to pick the Ick of the door end effect an entrance. All doois ar.o windows were found secutely lusteaed, and there were no tiak to ne found in the shop H' intrtcars. Th officers fully expc ted to tind t!ie dead body of The old man in his bedroom, hut much to their surprise no grewsonie spectacle met their paze. As a matter cf fact, old punehard could not be found about the liouse, either living or dead. After a thorough semen if was rea soned that he ha-1 been called away on business, and that the peine had inn over olfickuis. one rf their nun, let was therefore l.ft to guard the simp until the proprietor should return, and the excitement subsided. Old Hurchard illd not return. After a week the case was takm tip ag.iii., and pat ties weu found who bad si -en him put up his sl-utt-ts and lo. k his floor at 9 o'clock Monday night. He had saii nothincr of coit.tr away, and h" hoi but tie. message within the shop. All the b atches and i locks belonging to his customers were there, as also about J.i.OoO worth of goods, and anions bis papers were two notes falling due on the day after his strange disappearance, lie owed no man a dollar, and the idea that he had run away was absurd. The city was searched and the man ad vertised for, but the week went by and no clew was secuted. Various theories were ndvancid. but not one of them Vould bear analysis. one of the Strang features of the case Van that no money could be f tin 1. The old man never did business with tie. banks, and one had ever seen a safe ii: bis shop, lie handled thousands cf dob lars yearly, but where did he keep it." Jl often loaned money on diamonds and X late, but where he d' 'posited them to: f iife-keeping no one had ever learned. 1'nless he had pone away and taken his cash with him, theie outfit to be a for tune hidden ttvay in that old shop some, where. People to the number of dozen who had raised cash on rson ti property came forward to say so. but hunt as they did the searchers could tind nothing outside the regular stock. 1 JV--' t V fv THE POl.ICKMA.V rAME TO PICK THE LOCK OF THE DOOIt.

With the exception of a very few the delegates left or, the night and forenoon trains in the fif teen hours following the last meeting Sunday evening. The affairs of the con ference are closed and those who are still here have stayed on private busi ness of their own. In all there were about twelve hun dred and fifty delegates who rerristered. There wore other persons erep-ed in Y. C. A. work who came out of per sonal interest but it is difficult to curtain this number. Two hundred FRED B. SMITH. and fifty women were in attendance.

These gentlemen were piesent at the conference for the obiect of observing; the extent of th Y. M. C. A. work in this country aimon; the railroad men. It is presumed they were duly impress ed with the recognition given it by the pri eence of President Roosevelt. They were assiduous in their attendance at the meetings but took part only on Sat urday aft moon. After short speeches in English the guests were asked to speak In their native language, which tnev did to the intense delight of their auditors. Another promlr.ent visitor Saturday was James Stokes of New York, the philanthropist, who has spent :ir?H sums in introducing Y. M. C. A. work Into Furope.

GOYEliXQirS DIMS Eli. By One Who Waa One of the Seventeen. From the Atchison Globe. Last night I attended a dinner given by Governor Bailey to President Roose velt. Possibly readers of the Globe will be interested in knowing how tne bachelor governor entertains. The governor's residence is probably the handsomest home in Kansas. It was built by a man named Bennett, a breeder of Percheron horses, at a cost of $40,000. But the woolly-legged Perche ron horses were too slow for Kansas; they reminded people of oxen, and Ben nett was compelled to seii his ftt-e house. The state bought it for J15,0u0. Governor Stanley was the first gover nor to occupy it. The last legislature made an appropriation for fixing it up, and the improvements were completed cnlv a few days before the president's visit. I arrived at the house at 7 o'clock, with Wiiliam Allen White. A crowd of people surrounded the place, and police officers were busy keeping them out of the yard. A colored boy wearing a white coat received us, and we hun up our hats and overcoats in the hall. We were the first arrivals, but Judge Hook, Judge Johnston and Mort Al baugh came immediately after us. They had heard down town that the presi dent's train was an hour late, and, in stead of dinner being served at 7:15, as intended, it was M:15 when the guests sat down. The governor's private secretary.Har ry Bone, lives with him. Mr. Bone and his wile come from a country town about the size of Fffingham, and, com ing from a country town ourself, we were very proud of them, the house looked so nice. The governor was not there; he was down at the station, waiting for the president, and Mr. and Mrs. Bone did the honors. Every room of the mansion is finished in a different hard wood: it is said that the library was finished in walnut by workmen from the Pullman shops in Pullman, 111. The floral decorations were extensive, but in excellent taste. There was trailing green stuff every where, and vines growing over the mantles, from pots or. the tiling below. In the library, there was the hand somest display of American beauty roses we have ever seen. There were flowers in every room, but, so far as we were able to judge, the taste displayed waa excellent; not too much of anything. The principal rooms down stairs are the enormous hall, the double parlors, the library, and the dining room. The guests sat in the back parlor, convers ing good naturedly. Every electric light was burning, from cellar to dome. Dur ing a pause in the conversation, I re marked: "What rn opportunity for the lights to go out'." Within two seconds, every light in the house went out, as they have a habit of doing. Then there was genuine ex citement. Mr. Bone rushed to tht tele phone, and called up the electric light office. Mrs. Bone began looking for lamps, but there was not one in the house. The light fixtures were double, for gas and electric lamps, but the guests struck matches, and discovered that the gas .had been turned off. Final ly, an old lantern from the cellar was found by a servant, and one little red candle; the candle looked as though it had done duty at some time on a birth day cake. The president was expected every mo ment, and imagine how Harry Bone and his wdfe felt! The lights had been tested by the electric light people that afternoon, and pronounced perfect. (The cause of the trouble probably was over loading the fuse leading into the house; too many lights burning.) Mrs. Bone sent a servant hurriedly to a grocery store for candies. Another servant went to a neighbor's to look, for coal oil lamps. One neighbor came in, a Mr. Frost, to be sympathetic. But he made matters worse, by looking out the front door every minute, and saying, "There they come now!" although they didn't come for twenty minutes. Finally, away down the street, cheer ing could be heard: the president and his party were approaching; no doubt this time. What would the governor say when he drove up, and found his mansion dark! This question was on every lip. Every other house in the neighborhood was brightly illuminated, but the governor's mansion, where the president was to be entertained was dark. The cheering came nearer rapid ly; the streets were lined with people for miles. At last the cheering broke out in front of the house, but the house was still dark. The front door opened during the confusion, and Governor Bailey's voice inquired quickly: "What's the matter with the lights?" Harry Bone, private secretary, met Governor Bailey and President Roose velt at the front door, carrying the lit tle red candle aloft in his right hand. Tt was the only light in the house. Mr. Bone explained the accident, and said that there was an electrician in the garret. The governor and president hurried upstairs, followed by Mr. Root, secretary of war: Dr. Rixey, Mr. Butler, president of Columbia university, and other notables. Imagine the state of things, if you can; we can't describe it. Occasionally a guest would strike a match, and Mrs. Bone and the servants could be seen in hurried consultations, but there were no lamps, and no candles. The presi dent and members of his party were in their rooms, dressing for dinner, as best they could, without lights. An orchestra was stationed some where in the house, and it began play ing "Red, White and Blue' the play ers being unable to see Their music. Suddenly there was a flash, and the lights came back as quickly as they had departed. The guests were delight ed, and talked about the incident with much interest. It so happened that all the guests were standing in the back parlor .in a circle. We had almost for gotten the president, when the governor suddenly appeared in the room with the president. It happened that I was the first guest introduced, although I had planned to be the last. Mr. Roosevelt said a few words to each guest, as in troduced, and seemed especially inter ested in each one. He completed the circle, and stopped wdrere he had start ed. Then he began a rapid flow of con versation with different gentlemen; it happened that I stood by his side for 20 minutes, or until dinner was announc ed. He is not quite so large as we had expected. He weighs probably 190 pounds; he is probably five feet six or seven. He is thoroughly tanned, from his recent exposure in Yellowstone park, and moves like an athlete in per fect training. He does not look like his pictures. His prominent teeth have been exploited too much. When in or dinary conversation, he does not show his teeth especially, but they become very prominent w hen his conversation is excited; he then has a habit of com pressing his lips, and slapping one hand against the other. He has a perfect bead of hair; his eye glasses and hair are as represented in his pictures. After twenty minutes of easy, infor mal conversation among the guests. Governor Bailey announced dinner, and started for the dining room with the president. The other guests followed. At each plnce there was a card, bearing a tame. The guests found their places with little confusion, and sat down sim ultaneously, obeying the initiatory of the governor. At each place was a car nation, and a pin. and the guests pinned the flowers to their coats. At the head of the table sat Governor Bailey. To his right, the president, fol lowed by W.-Ai White, Mr. Butler, Sen ator Burton, M, A. Low, Judge Hook and Morton Albaugh. Mr. Root, secre tary of war. st on the governor's left, followed dwn the line by Judge John ston, Dr.jftixey, Senator Long, H. N. Loomis, svrneral attorney of the Union Pacific, H. W. Hcwe, and Lave Mul vane. Harry Bone and Mr. Barnes, the president's secretary, sat at the foot ot the table. There were four colored waiters. The first course was a fruit salad; fruit mixed with gelatine. Then came clear soup, with cubes of toasted bread float ing around in it: then esealowed fish, served on half shells, with brown bread sandwiches; then sweetbreads on toast, then squabs, with green peas and white bread sandwiches: then spring chicken, with new potatoes and asparagus tips. Somewhere during the dinner a hot biscuit, very small and delicate, ap peared on each plate. Then there waa coffee, in recular cups, with cream and sugar offered; then frozen eggnog; then shrimo salad. (The president inquired here, "Gov ernor Bailey, did these shrimps come from Kansas?" the governor having said that the bill of fare was made up largely of Kansas products. You kno'.v how a preacher's joke goes; well, it';, nothing to a president's joke we ad roared.. Then came brick ice cream, with strawberries, and little balls of cocoa, nut. Then cake and black coffee. There were stuffed olives on the table, and radishes, in cut slass dishes. The chandelier above the dining table, a very tine one, was beautifully decorated with trailing greens. These gieens also appeared in the center of the tfble in a design. The dininir room i easily accommodated the seventeen guests. The room is a high one, with j hard wood ceiling. I During the dinner, which lasted about an hour and forty minutes, the i guests talked easily and naturally with j those nearest them. Frequently the president addressed some one opposite him, and told a story, and how we all i laughed at the point! Still, some of the j stories were very good; I shall save them for private use, and say hereafter: "The president told me an interesting anecdote at Topeka," etc. The presi dent did me the honor to address me when he referred to Eugene Ware, whom he complimented very highly. The president's favorite swear word Is j "By George." He also says "Bully" fre I quently. Mr. Hoot talked generally on j two occasions, and we laughed nearly i as much at his jokes as we did at those i of the president, as he is the most im portant member of the cabinet, and may be compelled to handle our war w ith Russia, j Governor Bailey made no apologies, although I saw that he frequently look ed into the pantry, and frequently whispered with the head waiter. He took very little part in the conversation. M. A. Low said almost nothing, except to Judge Hook and Senator Burton, who sat on either side of him. White ex ploded the president two or three times, with "jokes" which I did not near. Sen ator Long talked very little, but well. Dave Mulvane was another silent man. Dr. Rixey said nothing except to those beside him; in fact, this was the rule, i But the president was in great humor, i and talked about his Rough Rider friends, about the Yellowstone, about I bears, etc. Everything he said was in excellent taste, but he talked freely about his affairs, including his friends and hi? enemies. The dinner was served in courses, and There w as not a single hitch. It was probably the most successful social function ever given in Kansas. There were three Tuxedos in the i arty. They were worn by Mr. Root, Mr. White and Judge Hook. The other iTHsE iwlL ftp jf FT TXT m When U need a Ciscult were first introdi2ce&, a cdi3rvative said: "They are all right as far as they go, but they won't satisfy the worker. The worker, you see, wants something solid, and substantial, and plain like potatoes, cabbage, or beef. These delicate and crisp biscuit, packed so daintily, in that In-er-seal Package, will not appeal to him any more than winter strawberries." That sounded like good reasoning. But fact upsets theory. Workers everywhere have been great consumers of Uncscfa CIsSC"J The outdoor worker, seated at noon upon the sidewalk, a house wall for his back rest; mill hands in the mill yard, seated on comfortable bales; teamsters and draymen, on their high box seats all have eaten Uneeda Ciscult and their wives have eaten them, and their children have eaten then. Another conservative took another view: "ineeda Biscuit are all right," he said, "to sell to the workers, but you must not expect to sell them to the more prosperous people. They arc too cheap, five cents a package that kills Uneeda Biscuit so far as the wealthy are concerned. The price should be higher they are worth it." That, too, sounded reasonable, but it also turned out to be only theory. Tor the greatest grocers of the city and of the country say Uneeda Biscuit have taken the place of the more expensive biscuit Over 200,000,000 i&ages have been consumed. The worker eats Uneeda Ciscult because of their goodness, alhe wealthy eat them because of their delicacy. Tne hoie world eats them because they represent the highest value as s food pro-C'Jct pure, wholesome, good. The appetite of human nature always relishes good change of diet Uneeda Vdlli. Bisculi is a. ch&pge that never disappoints. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY guests wore the usual swallowtail coats. There were five black ties and twelve white ones. Three Kuests wore tied ties; the others seemed to wea; dickies. The president wore a black tie, which he had apparently tied himself. In the shirt fronts small gold buttons predominated, with a few pearl ones. (Both kinds, three for a Quarter.) The standing and turn down collars were about an even break. One man, Mr. Loomis, had a stripe down his panta loons. (We confess that we did not no tice these details; we got them from Oid Bill White.) At ten minutes to 10 (think of that for a man who usually dines at 5 o'clock and goes to bed at 9), there was a move ment to retire; an immense audience was waiting for the president at the Auditorium. In five minutes the guests were en route to the Auditorium in car riages, escorted by a troop of cavalry Before leaving they signed their names to a souvenir, for Mrs. Bone. 1 roue with Governor Bailey, W. A. White and Mr. Loomis. Reaching the Auditorium we dashed under the ropes, and the po lice officers made a way for us. At 10 o'clock we were seated on the platform, facins an enormous audience, and the. president began his address, which lasted forty-five minutes. His remarks were primarily addressed to delegates to a railroad Y. M. C. A. meeting. The speech was half sermon, and pretty long. You are all familiar with his stvla. He is not an orator, but savs good thinsrs, and there- was generous applause. At times his voice become a falsetto. When he isn't slapping his hands together, he has his left one in bis pants ;ocket. At the conclusion of the speech, the president shook hands with the Y. M. C. A. delegates. Then he started for a rear door, surrounded by secret ser vice men. who watched him narrowly. They helped him on with his overcoat near the door: he said goodbye to a number of friends, and disappeared, and that's the last I saw of him. There is ro doubt that the president is interested in the "strenuous" men of the west. He talks a great deal about them: he does not admire them, but they interest him. I imagine he greatly regretted that he couldn't re main over, and witness the Frank James and Cole Younger Wild West. Last night he talked about Pat Gar ret, whd killed Billy the Kid. Senator Burton said: "Mr. President. I know a man who made Pat Garrett eat dirt." The president quickly asked: "Who was he?" "W. H. Mackey, the man you lately appointed United States marshal for Kansas." "Burton," the president said, "send him word that I would like to see him." And Burton soon after sent a tele gram asking Mackey to meet the presidential tiain at Junction Citv. I don t say it because I was invuea to his dinner, but Govenor Bailey starts out as though he will become the most popular governor the state has ever had. He is very popular in Topeka, and looks as well in a plug hat as any of the i president's party. His bachelor dinner .was a great success, but he confessed to 'me that he bad a great deal of assist ance from "the neighbors." A Topek j woman who is a professional caterer (we have foreottn her name) fit was Mrs. F. E. Holyokel had charge of the dinner, and bossed things in the kitchen. No wines were served, although the prohibitionists may complain because of a slight dash of rum in the eggnogg. Of course there was a fine display of cut glass and silver: mainly forks: few spoons. Mr. Loomis, who sat on my right, became tangled somewhere, and was short a fork at the close. Dave Mulvane. on my left, had an extra one. bing very thrifty, so I quietly sneaked the extra one, and passed it over to Mr. Loomis, who completed the dinner w ith out disaster. I watched the president when a new course was served, as though it were a pleasure to admire so great a man, but in reality I was ob serving whether he used a fork or a spoon. Had he used a spoon where a fork was called for by Edward Bok. the other guests, as loyal subjects, would have, of course, followed his example, and risked Mr. Bok's rage. To a man who puts on a dress 3uit once in several years, a function is a task: it's a smart woman who can get me ready under an hour. But the Topeka men at tend so many that they don't mind them. When there is a corner stone laying at 5. and a dinner at 7. they change to full dress so quickly that 1 suppose they use an apparatus like the firemen have at engine houses for throwing harness on the rire. horses. Frank P. MacLennan made a quick change last evening that could have been accomplished in no other way. I expected a wretched time, but it was really a delightful experience. I hope I will not be accused of bad taste in writing this reminiscence of the affair, I write, it with a- cake headache, as fast as I can run a typewriter, and I can beat anybody in town on an old Caligraph. The description of the dinner may not be "literary," but it is accurate, so far as it goes. Governor Bailey asked me to stay all night with him, but I had my other clothes at Frank P. MacLennan's house, which I reached at midnight. Old Bill White slept in an adjoining room, and I listened to his snoring until ti o'clock this morning, when I arose, dressed and hurried to catch the train for home. E. W. HOWE. SECRETARY ROOT IN K. C. Head of the War Department Dis cusses Flans for Kansas Forts. Kansas City, May 4. Elihu Root, sec retary of war, spent four hours in the Kansas City Union depot Saturday night. He left the presidential train at Bavaria, the first station beyond Salina, Kan., and taking the return train to Kansas City reached this city at 5 o'clock Saturday night. Secretary Root did not leave the. union depot until shortlv after 10 o'clock, when he walked to the Missouri Pacific train and at 10: 5 started on his journey to Columbus, C. where he is to make an address at the convention of the national guard officers tomorrow. Secretary Root said: "We aie carrying out a systematic plan of developing the army posts in Kansas. It is the purpose of the gov ernment to make Fort Leavenworth a model post with every branch of the service represented there at full war strength, artillery, infantry, cavalry, signal corps, etc. About 3.000 troops will be permanently stationed at Fort Leav enworth. Fort Riley will continue to be the great cavalry post and will be the permanent maneuver camp for this part of the country. "Thus the officers stationed at Fort Leavenworth and in attendance at the infantry and cavalry school can acquire a familiar knowledge of the operation of all branches of the army service, an instruction that will be particularly valuable because of the fact that the officers will be enabled to study the various branches of the service at their full war strength. There is bound to be war some day and there must be thor ough instruction in all branches of the service. In the fall the troops at Fort Leavenworth will go to Fort Riley, where the permanent maneuver camp is. They will have the benefit of army movements worked out on the largest scale posible. "The purpose of the government Is to continue these maneuvers at Fort Riley on even a larger scale than were the maneuvers last fall at that place. We hope to have more of the national guard troops at Fort Riley at future maneuv ers. The national guard troops could not attend in large numbers last year because of the lack of appropriations to 1 pay their expenses. Now the wax d- NewCr tiwfonlJTh eater.
