Several important rliscussions took place in the erand !dce, anions which there was none of more yea! importance titan the one involving the insurance feature of the orsrani.atlon. i present ed by the endowment rank. The en dowment rank is an almost separate Institution from the order of Knights of p'vthias, in which no insurani'e is uiven. Only members of the Kniirhts of Tythias however, are eliLrible to the endowment rank, which is equipped with a staff of officers of its own. Its member pay Ftated sums for insurance and they only are entitled to its benefits. Tt if! desired by the officers of 1 he endow ment rank to hrins the relations of the GEORGE M. CULVER. Of Concordia. Vice Chancellor, two organizations closer, the reason be ing, according to the members of the Knights of Pythias not interested in it, to make the membership of the Knights of Pythias responsible for the finnnci.al welfare of the endowment rank. If th! endowment rank gets in a tight place it would like to be able to levy an as sessment upon every one of the fim'i.fiOO members of the Knight? of Pythias to help it out. Such a unification of the two organizations would force present uninsured members of the K. of P. to join the endowment rank, and would result in making the insurance featute of more importance than the fraternal idea. E. K. Caldwell, of Lawrence, was on of the members of the endowment rank xvho advanced this proposition in tit" grand lodge, but the ready opposition c f the majority prevented trie matter from getting to a vote. In the future the initiation fee for new members will be reduced, but the other restrictions on admission will be more rigid. A resolution was adopted cut ting down the minimum for admission from $15 to $10. This fee ran he in creased at the discretion of individu tl lodges, but not lowered.

The formation for this afternoon's parade was made at the east entrance to the statehouse grounds, the divisions forming on Jackson street. Ninth street and inside the capitol driveway. As it took up the line of march the Uniform rank, the military division, led the way Grand Chancellor Knights of Pythias. followed by the officers and the grand lodge. rIhere were, in the parade, com panies of the Uniform rank from Bon ner Springs. Ness City, Pittsburg, Gi rard and VYii hita which took part in the prize drill contest which followed. The three Topeka lodges of the Knights of Pythias figured prominently in the pa rade although there were a number of very creditable delegations from out of town lodge?. Prizes for the largest representation and for the lodge travel ing the longest distance to the grand lodge were awarded by the reviewing officers fit their stand at the corner of Kighth and Jackson streets. These prizes -are each. The line of inarch was as follows: leaving the state house ground east on Ninth street to Kansas avenue; north to Sixth street; east Quincy, north to Fourth street, west on Fourth street to Harrison street; south on Harrison street to Tenth avenue where line was broken. The prize drills were held on the asphalt pavement on Harrison street on the west side of the state house ground. The prizes hung up In this contest were as follows: $150. $100, $75, $Tri and: $25. The parade moved from the state house ground at 3 p. m. THK Al'DITOniUM MEETING. At the Auditorium last night, the crowd that attended from the gather ing of the Pathhnno Sisters was delay ed by some work in the hall at Sixth and Quincy street and came late. A very good musical number by the Knights of Pythias band opened tiie programme. Mayor Kergundthal wel comed the visitors warmly in a short address which was followed by the wel come of the loea I lodges expressed by W. A. S. Bird. After two numbers by the Ad Aspcra quartet the addresses were responded to by Grand Chancellor S. O. McDowell of Columbus for the Knights of Pythias and Mrs. Carrie Kinnard of Wichita, grand chief of the Kathbone Sisters. Major General Carnahan of the Uniform Rank made an interesting speech.

Shows a Small Increase ia the Membership. DISCUSSES m. WARE. Sajs He Isn't to Blame for"IIair Splitting Folic j." Demands Enforcement of Vet erans Preference Law. McFherson, Kas., May ?0. Depart ment Commander H. C. Loomis today presented his annual report to the state encampment of the G. A. R. of Kan sas. The report shows that while 347 comrades have answered to the final muster during the past year, the mem bership cf the G. A. R. in Kansas made an increase of 102, and it now stands at 12,412, entitling Kansas to eighteen representatives in the national encamp ment. No new posts were organized during the year, but seven suspended posts were regained. "This gain of 102 members for the year is encouraging," says Colonel Loomis, "when you consider that for the past ten years there have been but two years that gains have been report ed, while the losses have ranged all the way from four to twelve hundred each of the other eight years." Colonel Loomis, while insisting that there is still something wrong with the administration of the pension laws, does not blame Commissioner of Pensions Ware for it. Concerning the matter of pensions he says: DOESN'T BLAME WARE. "One of the questions that still inter ests these who by service and sacrifice helped to preserve this country and make it what it is today, the greatest and grandest nation on earth, that effecting the pension system and its ad ministration, is possibly the most im. portant because the most far-reaehir:-? in its results upon the survivors and the widows and orphans of those of our for mer comrades who have answered to ths final muster. While it may be said thai the laws of congress on this subject are reasonably liberal, yet no one with any knowledge of conditions that have ex isted in recent years can say with truth that these laws have been to any degree liberally or even honestly construed. On the contrary, the rules of practice in the pension office have been of such a character as to annul the intention of the laws hoy to defeat the HiipUennt rather than to help him. With the change in the head of the pension bu reau "came some relief from the wrong- heretofore comnlained of, and we be lieve Commissioner Ware is endeavor, ing to rectify many of the eviis in that office; and yet he is handicapped it manv ways, and can not do as in his judgment would be best. As to wherci the responsibility for this hairsplitting poliev. this shutting out of honest claims, endless delays and abuses lies is past my knowledge, but that it ex ists there is no question. My judgment is that satisfactory results will never be obtained until a service pension taw is enacted. The time is here when our organization, with a united voice, should make this demand. OLD SOLDIERS IN OFFICE. Concerning the enforcement of the laws providing that old soldiers shall he given the preference where prac ticable in appointive offices. Colonel Loomis says: Another important matter is that which effects our comrades in their de sire to earn a living. The time has come when we must stand together ir. self-defense. We are yet amply strong in numbers to demand recognition, if we will but pull together. Comrade Joseph W. Kav, of New York, recent chairman of the national committee on veterans' preference legislation, is said to have coined the words. 'Fraternity means something.' In a late report of his he used this language: "Among the declared tenets of faith of the Grand Army of the Republic is found the proclamation, "Fraternity without regard to former rank is the broad foundation stone on which our order rests." This means cohesion clannu.hness, if you will. It naturally follows, then, that help and protection to a worthy comrade requiring it. Pit' joined by its constitution, is a para mount duty, one that may not pass un heeded. The material welfare of one even the humblest among us, is th concern of every other comrade. An in jury or injustice to one becomes the cause of ail. Have we been true? 'In two essentials of obligation vet erans ought to tie a unit. The first that vigilance be exercised to see that the pension laws enacted are execute;! in a spirit of honesty and fairness to the deserving soldier and sailor, and to the dependent widows and orphans. In none others are we interested. The second to secure legislation accomplishing and then guard well the right to a prefer ence of worthy veterans for public em ployment. An honorable discharge from service and present ability ought to be the only passports required by them for such preference.' "I trust this encampment will, through its committee on resolutions, prepare and pass with unanimous voir? a strong resolution demanding the en forcement of the veterans' preference laws on our statute book, both stafw and national. I am prompted to urge this matter for your careful eonsidera. tion because of the utter disregard paid by appointing powers to these laws, and the disposition to turn our comradi s out of public omnlnvment." AS TO MEMORIAL DAY. As to the observance of Memorial Day. now near at hand, the report says: "It is a pleasure to report that never since the Grand Army set apart a day for the honor of our dead comrades, has Memorial Day been so fully and so rev erently observed as it was last year in this department. "In the early days when this beautiful and impressive service was established, we can all remember how anxiously w? asked each other the question whether this beautiful ceremonial would outlast our organization: whether when the last veteran was mustered out if any one would lead the way and keep up the day. This question, it seems to me. is even now fully answered, for the grow ing interest manifested year by year fixes permanently this ha'lowed day, and so loner as the love of liberty re mains in the hearts of the American people will the ever recurring spring time buds and flowers summon loyal hands to gather and bestow them upon the graves of our dead. "The usual reports received with ref erence to the observance of Memorial Day contained so little information that 1 feit should be known that I sent a special letter to each post commander on June 24, last year, making a request for certain information. To this lette.r 183 commanders responded. From their answers we learn that 52 comrades tSnd 20 Sons of Veterans delivered address es; that there were 13.364 graves decor ated, and of this number 1.543' had no headstones, and that there have been monuments erected at a cost of over $30,000. Of these, six were erected by the government and the other 20" by posts and the Woman's Relief corps; these last 20 monuments and memorials ranging in cost from $50 to $500, and in one instance J1O.000. A large number report owning burial plots in the vari ous cemeteries, many of them beauti fully improved." In conclusion Colonel Loomis says: "Comrades, our battles are fought, our victories are won, and we rest from the labors incident to the war. The numbers who attend our encampments must of necessity grow less as the years roll on. A few years and none will be left to tell the story. Our, war flags, the flags we love so well, will soon be furled. We will soon sleep with the martial cloak about us and the flag for which we fought will be our wind ing sheet. There is no light in the grave whither our feet tend; all is dreamless dust. While we stay, let us be comrades in deed as well as in name. The suffering has been ours, let the memory be ours. As the years thin our ranks let us draw- closer together the flic leaders of immortal achieve ment. Let us not be ashamed to say that our names are connected with and that we are a part of the mightiest event of human history. On the last page let it be written, 'They fought like heroes, shirking no duty; they lived like men who recognized manifest destiny, and they died in the living hope of a blessed reunion; but the world is not the same since they went away.' THE WAIL OF A WIFE. Husband Never Dought Her a Dress in Thirty Years. Armourdale, Kan., May 20. A suit of unusual character has been filed in the district court of Wyandotte county by Sarah A. Brown against her husband, William A. Brown, a wealthy farmer living near Piper, Kan. In her petition, drawn by Attorney W. H. McCamish, Mrs. Brown accuses her husband of having squandered thousands of dollars speculating on the board of trade and in bucket shops, and with having treated herself and their children with gross neglect. She i asks the court to interfere in her do j mestic affairs to the extent of provid I ing for her support and awarding her a just and equitable share of her hus band's property, saying that her health i is broken and that f-.e is no longer able j to work as she has 3m? tor the past 30 years. She does not ask for a divorce, j but wants the court to restrain her hus- band from disposing of the rest of his property. The petition recites a story of over 32 years of family history. It sets out that the plaintiff and the defendant were married in Wyandotte county, near White Church, on November 30. I 1K70. At that time Brown's property consisted of two teams and a wagon, Lsome household goods and 40 acres of i poor land in Missouri left him by his father. Ills yung wue nfi horse and some household goods. Brown sold his land and his wife received $1, 500 from her father's estate. The young couple combined their means and bought a farm near riper, which is the present homestead and is now worth about $l.O00. The wife savs that she always has been a loving 'and faithful wife, doim? her household duties and even assisting her husband in his wot k on the farm Four children, all girls, were born. All the work of rearing, clothing and edu cating the children fell upon the mother. For sixteen years, she- says, her hus band never gave her any money to buy clothing for the girls or bought any himself. Here is one passage: "The defendant never purchased fov plaintiff. nor gave her money to pur chase, a nice dress such as others in her station in life were accustomed to nnd the circumstances of defendant would warrant during their married life; that the defendant never during said marriage relations purchased for plaintiff or give her money to purchase a cloak or outside wrap, excepting on red shawl; that the only wearing ap parel furnished to plaintiff by defendant during the past fourteen years of theii married life were a pair of house slip pers, a pair of 25 cent hose and a set of false teeth." The wife's petition says' she furnished the family table and often bought her husband's clothes. She and her daugh ters milked as many as nineteen cows at a time. She fed and watered nine cows, made butter, and marketed gar den products, butter and eggs. She even kept boarders to make money for family expenses, "while her husband." she says, "gave her not so much a.H words of encouragement, but even left her to get up of mornings to make the fires." Besides this she says she had to cook and wash for the hired men. Her husband has always been an able bodied man. she says, and made money off the farm. About four years ago he began speculating. In 1S9S she a!lege that he squandered $3,000 in this man ner. In ISfifl she says he squandered th- vaiue of his whole crop for that year, amounting to between $600 and $soo. H lost about the same amount in 1SP0. In 1901 she says he lost the proceeds of his whole crop, consisting of 1.40O bushela of grain. The crop of 1903 went like wise. MUS. GLEED'S PLAYING.

Governor Frazer today refused to honor the re qulsttion from the governor of Ohio for Mrs. Elizabeth MeCormick of Memphis, charged with having sent the poison package which caused the death of an employe of the Adams Express com pany in Cincinnati. The woman is to be held in Tennessee until habeas cor pus proceedings are passed. Governor Frazer issued his warrant for her de tention and In a letter to Governor Nash points out that at the time of the alleged commission of the offense charged, Mrs. MeCormick was not in Ohio and has not fied from that state. DAVIS REPLIES. President Kansas Mutual Life Makes Statement. Says Keport Trustees Compiled in Part BY UNFRIENDLY HELP, Amateurs and Those Unfamiliar With Insurance. Yet Finds Company Solvent and With Surplus. Answers Charge Nepotism and Excessive Expenses." President Davis of the Kansas Mutual Lafe Insurance company this afternoon issued a statement in reply to various reflections on his management referred to in the recent report of the trustees of the company. He says that the report was compiled in part by amateurs, by unfriendly help and that some of the errors in it are natural because the compilers were not familiar with the insurance business. He says that had the persons who harassed the company witn litigation not demanded by policy holders, used their Influence to assist in upbuilding the company, the present condition of the comeany would not exist, and that notwithstanding inferences to the con trary, the trustees were obliged to find the company solvent and with a sur plus. Mr. Davis says: To the Editor of the State Journal: The report of the trustees of the Kan sas Mutual Life Insurance company just made public is gotten up in such a peculiar way that a brief review of it seems to be proper and justifiable. 1 therefore request the courtesy of space for that purpose. Instead of making a straightforward statement of the company's business, as required by order of the court, the trus tees have gone further, and by a la bored effort of mixing and juggling of figures, they have undertaken, as the politicians w-ould say, to make out case against the other side. It will be observed that a special effort is made to show that a larga amount of money has been paid to the. officers of the company and to members of their families. But it w ill be no. ticed that no charge is made that any one of them was inefficient or did not earn the money received for services rendered. Replying to the charge of family affairs, we find manv well establishes precedents. By referring to manv of of agents for the company, under his the banks of this staia and other large advice and influence the Kansas Mutual financial corporations throughout tha entered some of the eastern and south country, we fir.d sons and other rela-!ern states that I found soon after to be Tiire,;; 1 1 1 ri I V.1 i. 1 rtTl TTmftt ft hie tr the rOTm-nV U'o OiPl'P. credit to themselves and employers. It. one or tne large, popular and well managed eastern old-line companies, -i son of the president occupies the posi tion of secretary with the company. Two brothers and two sons of the vice president hold lucrative official positions. Many other similar cases might be cited. Suffice it to say that I have ns apol ogy to offer for my two sons having been employed by the Kansas Mutual Life; A. L. commencing over 16 vears i ago at a salary of $55 per month, which was gradually increased after several years efficient work to $100 and to $125, the latter part of 1902. Byron H. took a po sition with the company about 15 years ago at $50 per month. His salary" was also gradually increased to $100, and a. YJ, S, 1 u Ti-. j. urn add that his work for the last seven: years pertained largely to inspection of real estate loans. Several hundred thou sand dollars have been invested on hi9 report and advice, and not a single dol lar of loss has ever occurred on any of the company's invested funds. There has no complaint been made and can not honestly that these young men were not capable, nor that they did not earn every dollar of money received. Over a year ago Byron H. wajF offered a much larger salary to do similar work for an investment company, but out of loyalty to his father and the Kansas Mutual Life decliner? the proposition. In the earlier years of the company. R. T. Herrick was selected by ex-Governor Morrill as the company's attorney. Some years thereafter he married my daughter, which the board of directors did not consider as impairing his use fulness to the company or justifying his withdrawal from his official position. He started at $400 per annum; was gradually increased to six. thn nine, and several years later to twelve hun dred dollars, with extra pay nd ex pense when in the employ of tha com pany out of the city. Quite a per cent, of the amount of the report of the trustees showed he re ceived during the year 1902 was earned prior to that date, but a number of the case"! had not been closed and the money paid to Herrick until the year 19"2. As an evidence that Mr. Herrick was nor overpaid by the directors of the Kansas Mutual Life, less than a year ago he was offered by another old-line company a salary of $3,000 a year, with the as surance that it would be gradually in creased to $10,000. This he declined, havin: decided to open an office of his own in Kansas City, Mo. As to my salary, the report shows that for twenty-one years' service, $87,228.35 was received. In this aggregate is in cluded $3,433.31 expense account incurred during the entire period of my connec tion with the company, an itemized statement of each expense account be ins on file. It is not to be assumed that the president while away from home in the interest of the company, should bear his own expense. Duringr the earlier years of the com pany, when my salary and that of my associates was very meagre, bv an agreement.. with the board of directors. we were to receive additional remun eration later on, which was paid in ac cord with said agreement. Deducting the expense account from the total amount received by me. makes ih" average salary for twenty-one years a little over $3,800 per antrum. The pres idents of several of the smaller life in surance companies receive from five, ten to fifteen thousand dollars per an num: and of the next larger or middle grade of companies, twenty, twenty five to fifty thousand dollars per an num; and of the larger and older com panies fifty, seventy-five to one Hun dred thousand dollars. I have no fear of comparison and do not know of an executive officer of any company who has rendered similar ser vice for 21 years at so small an inrome. I may be pardoned for stating that men capable of organizing, building and managing a life insurance company or other large financial companies are not usually paid for clerical work alone, but for skill and executive ability. "Expense Account Large": On this point the trustees allow themselves to say: "It far exceeds the average of any life insurance company in the Uni ted States of which we have knowledge, and is surpassed by none." To be char itable, it is not to be expected that these trustees could become familiar with the business of life insurance in three or four months. By referring to the Spec tator Year Book, commonly known among insurance men as the "Blue Book." for 1902, the highest auth ority for compiling insurance statistics, page 546, they would have discovered that it distinctly shows that the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company ranks 39 in this particular among 66 old line insurance companies. So that, so far from being "surpassed by none," it was surpassed in expense account by 27 old line companies. Taking a comparison of companies, with expense rate higher than the Kan sas Mutual Life, at random, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, of "cross ex penses to total income," we find the fol lowing: Kansas Mutual Bankers of New York Des Moines Life Chicago Life Franklin Life, Springfield, 111... State Life, Indiana 36.45 3S.25 38.25 39.62 39.74 43.3f Bankers Life, Nebraska 44.61 Security JVlutual for New York.... 44.72 Pacific Mutual 47. 5i Besides the above, there are nineteen other old-line companies quoted that have a larger ratio of expense to income than the Kansas Mutual. It is generally understood among men posted in life insurance, that, in any old-line life company the amount of in come and business transacted will vary in different years. For instance: The Northwestern of Milwaukee, one of the standard, substantial companies, in 1S7X. when it was 20 years old. paid out $211. 4S1 more money than it re ceived during that year; doubtless en larging its field of usefulness in that year. In the year 1900, Jacob Greene's company, the Connecticut Mutual, in its fifty-fourth year, paid out $37,857 more money than it received. It is .apparent from these examples and others what an injustice these haphazard compari sons made by uninformed trustees do to the management. Yet on this point the Kansas Mutual has a fine record. It never missed mak ing an increase in assets for any single year since its organization. Commenc ing with the year the company moved to Topeka, a healthy increase was made, as the following table verifies: Assets January 1, 1S92... ..$160,656.38 Assets January 1, 1S93. Assets January 1, 1S94. Assets January 1. 1895. Assets January 1, 1896. 191.829.27 222,175.26 263,782.61 281.970.32 329.364.19 338,393.18 1 Assets January 1, 19.

About a year ago the Kansas Mutual underwent a thorough, searching exam ination by the departments of Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. Col. J. J. Brin. keroff. of the Illinois department, an actuary of national reputation for re sponsibility, conservatism and strict in tegrity, together with J. B. Reynolds, actuary cf the insurance department of Missouri, made a valuation of the poli cies and found the reserve liability thereon to be identical with that of the company's actuary. After Colonel Brin. kernfr deducted non-admitted assets of snowea tne company had at that time, May. 1902. $151,000 surplus above all Ha.. bili'i-. The first report made bv the trus tees. February 19. 1903,. was identical with that of the company's actuary. and showed a surplus of over $142,000. The portion of their report covering the valuation of policies is naturally errone ous, being compiled by amateur help, some ot which is known to be unfriend ly to the company, by putting their con struction on certain policy contracts, al so their own ideas of reserve liability, to read between the v.es, their finding is in conflict with all examinations made in the past by men of recognized ability and standing of the various state insurance departments, and having sci entific knowledge of such matters; but, nevertheless, the trustees were obliged to show a surplus and solvent company. In conclusion I am willing to leave the matter with an unbiased public and the policy holders to decide whether the offi cers and directors should be censured, condemned er commended for having or ganized and built up the Kansas Mutual to a successful, prosperous lite insurance, company that made a steady, healthv growth for 21 years, that passed searching investigations and was approved by svven different state examinations. Had the per sons who have been engaged for pome years past in harassing the company with litigation for which there was no demand by ihe policy holders, been using their in fluence and efforts to assist in building anl perpetuating the company instead of to accomplish its destruction, there wouM todr.v be occasion for congratulation bv all loyal Kansans. J. P. DAVIS. RAIN IN KANSAS. Light Fall Ia Recorded in the- Southeast. The government forecast sent out to day for Kansas was "Generally fair to night and Thursday."

LAW NOW IN OPERATION Complete Enforcement to Wait on .School Census. Chief Intent to Take Children from Factories. Kansas City, Kas., May 20. The edu cational authorities in this city, Argen tine and Koscdalo and in the school dis tricts of Wyandotte county, as well as In other cities and counties in Kansas are indulging in much speculation as to what results will attend the operation of the truancy law, passed by the Kan sas legislature at its last session. The law is now operative, having been published in the oiRcial state paper, and Its provisions are so sweeping as, with strict enforcement, nlmost to amount to compulsory education in Kansas. The results possible to be obtained through, the enforcement of the new law, however, will be determined by the next census of school children, which will begin June r, as the census will show accurately the number of children of school age who do not go to school. The law provides that the enumerators shall ascertain the name, place and date of birth of every child enumerated, and the parent, guardian or persons having charge or control of such child shall make oath that such record is true. The enumerator is empowered to administer the oath and any person having charge or control of a child who shall refuse to take nich oath shall be adjudged guilty of a misdenie-mor and on conviction Bh-.il be tined from II to $10. With the record of the census takers In hand the educational authorities will determine the number of truant officers needed for the enforcement of the pro Visions of the new law. In Kansas City, Kns.. there will probably be two truant officers appointed by the board of edu cation, whiie Argentine and Kosedale will each be entitled to a truant officer, and Wyandotte county outside of the three c ities will be divided into districts and truant officers appointed by the board of county commissioners on recommendation of the superintendent of (schools.

may have tried no matter how much 1 a sample bottle of bwamp-Root and a i that parents or guardians of children between 8 and 15 years old shall be re quired to send such children to school public, private, denominational or pa rochial each school year for such period as the school is in session. An exception, however, is made in favor of children 14 years old or older.'who can read and write and who are regularly employed for their own support or those dependent on them; these shall only be required to attend school eight weeks in each year. Graduates of the high school are exempted from the provisions of the act, as are also children physically or mentally incapacitated from attending school. In the latter case, however, it there is any doubt, the authorities have the right to have the child examined by physicians. The truant officer is cloth ed with ample power to enforce the law and a parent or guardian who refuses to comply with the provisions of the act is liable to a fine of $5 to $23. The chief intent of the law, it seems, is to take children under 15 years of age out of factories and stores, as well as taking boys off the streets and place them in schools. Superintendent Pearson believes that the operation of the truancy law will bring a large increase in the enrollment and attendance. There are now 9.799 children enrolled in the s-chools here, while there are school facilities for 8.040. The addition of 1.000 to 1,200 chil dren attending school by the operation of the truancy law besides the natural increase will make it necessary for the school authorities to increase the school facilities, as is proposed by the bonrt proposition to be submitted to the voters on July 2. Chanute and City Ownership. Chanute, Kas.. May 20. Chanute new has an opportunity to go still deeper in municipal ownership, and the council meets tonight to discuss it and other im portant matters. The Chanute Fair as sociation wants to sell the city its park and fair grounds, 39 acres in all, with ail improvements, for S9.000. and has made a proposition to that effect. The members of th eassociation. it is said, are not exactly harmonious as to man agement, and while thev will not dis pose of their property to private indi viduals thnv are willing to sell it to th city. So the city now has a chance tt get a goo.l city park and go into the fair business, if it has ambitions along that liaa. Plowing Up Wheat. Junction City. May 20.

Did Up the St. Lonis Man iu the Third .Bound. CHAMPION IS BITTER. Story of His Former Manager Makes liitn Enraged. Declares He Did Not Leare Den Ter to Escape Creditors. St. Louis, May 29. Young Corbctl easily disposed of Jack Keefe, of East St. Louis, here last night, knocking the East sider out in the third round. Keefe started out well, and kept Young Corbett busy blocking in the first round. Corbett encouraged Jack in the second round, eoing to the floor twice. In the third Keefe sailed in with great deter mination. A right to the stomach and a left ewing on the jaw by Corbett end ed hostilities, Keefe being completely knocked out. Last night Corbett made a caustic at tack on Johnny Corbett, his former manager. A dispatch from Denver. Colo., was shown him, and he wrote a signed statement in reply. The dispatch was as follows: "Younz Corbett will cut out Denver as a stopping off place hereafter, as he was nearly put down and out in a finan cial way during- his stay there. A swarm of creditors made things lively for him, and he barely escaped arrest on Satur day night on a warrant sworn out by his old manager, Johnny Corbett, wh. made him champion. When Corbatt was absolutely cm his uppers Johnny loaned him a diamond ring valued at on which Young Corbett secure $250. Corbett was dilatory. Johnny was determined that the champion woula not gel out of the city until he re deemed the ring, so on Saturday after noon he swore out a warrant char-ins Young Corbett with larceny as bailee. Constable Jimmy Connelly went to th? Curtis street theater about 8:30. Youns Corbett knew there was something in the wind, as he switched his programme and went on first instead of waiting un til the last. act, and disappeared." Corbett was very angry when he finished reading the story, and wrote out the following reply: The above statement does not sur prise me in the least. The man who claims that as my manager made ir,e feather weight champion has certainly been indulging in a few dreams. To start with, he was never my manager. Every sporting man in the country knows who my manager is; no one in the world except myself. No one ever saw his name on a set of articles for me. So far as his attempt to have me arrested for larceny is concerned, it is to laugh. The ring which he claims as his. was mine. I bought it in Cincinnati paid for it and have the receipt for it in my possession. While Johnny Cor bett was working for me, washing sweaters and sweeping out the train ing quarters,. I lot. him wear the ring. And when I saw tit I disposed of the same. Johnny Corbett'3 motive in bringing such a silly, trumped-up charge against me was prompted by only one motive jealousy. While I was in Denver he was to all intents and purposes my best friend until he found out that there was no probability of our former relations being resumed. He knew that my fu ture engagements made it necessary for me to leave that city immediately after the show, and I learned that he had trumped up this charge so as to cause me to miss the train. For that reason I decided to outwit him, and my law yer, Frank Carstaphen, a prominent at torney of Denver, arranged to get me away without being bothered. I want to say, further, that if I should decide to state th? reasons which prompted me to discharge Johnny Cor bett while training at Cincinnati to fight Terry McGovern. the entire sport ing world will blacklist him. While I was in Denver he never got away from my side. In fact, I found it impossible to get away from him, being forced to dine him and wine him or tell him bluntly that his presence was objection able in the extreme. The very best proof that I didn't run away from Denver is the fact that 1 bought a home there before leaving town for my father and sisters. I will be bac k there in August on my way to Frisco to see the Jeff ries-Corbett tight. (Signed) YOUNG CORBETT. The champion further says: "I prefer to do all my fighting on the coast That is the best place. I got a $1 000 purse for theMcGovern fight, and the Hanlon fight brought a purse of $12 000. That is a lot or monej. i .m t like the neonle and the climate. When the sports out there win a bet on you tney tnuiK. you half. I received many valuable presents from friends tnere. i wm "s" Yanger when he whips Hanlon or Mc Govern. As for Terry. I think he can whip nearly all of them. He will whip Attell without doubt. It won't be a fleht. Who do I pick to win the Jef f ries-Corbett battle? Well, I think Cor bett can give him a better fight than any man in the world, although I don t sav he can win. They wdll surely fight, and it will be a contest." His next fight will be in November, with Ben Jordan, the English champion. The men go twenty rounds at Frisco.

Brooklyn, May 20. Terry McGovern ha3 been informed of a job to defeat him at Fort Erie on Decoration day, when he is to mef t Abe Attell in a 20 round bout. At tell has been training in Buffalo for seme days, and it has been whispered to Terry that a scheme has been perfected to cause the Brooklyn boy to lose on a foul. The police authorities at Fort Erie insist on clean breaks, and every time one of the fighters clinches the referee orders a break. McGovern is essentially a rough house fighter, but seldom does any hold ing, being content to let the other fellow clinch, and then keep born hands working on his body. According to McGovern, the scheme was outlined to him as follows: Atteil will clinch every time McGovern rushes and endeavor to lure the Brooklyn boy to hit in the clinches so he can be ciis qunlifled. Attell is said to have practiced jabbing, followed by a quick clinch, and will also employ those tactics on the for mer champion. According to the Informa tion brought to McGovern by a man re cently from Buffalo, the club officials will combine with Attell to handicap McGov ern and cause him to lose. Terry is much worried, but says he will go the journey. SHARKEY AS A DRIVER. The Sailor Pugilist Won Several Dashes on the Speedway. New York. May 20.

Congressman Tawney of Minnesota has appointed three young- men -to cadetships at the U. S. naval academy at Annapolis. Kach of these has been a graduate of one of the high schools of the state and each has failed in his f xaminations for admission to the academy. Now the congressman and the newspapers are trying to find out what is the trouble. If the Minnesota schools are like most of the publi-; schools in the country, probably it will be found that the difficulty arises from too many studies and not enough teach ers. Where there are from 25 to 50 pupils in a class how can a teacher know whether or not the. individual pupil is learning anything? The amount of money spent by Amer icans abroad is a perennial subject for spei ulation and estimates vary widely. The Washington Post makes the follow ing: eslitnate: This year from the port of New York alone-, sixty-seven first class steamers will sail for Kurope each month between the first of May and the first of September. They will have full passenger lists and will accommodate about S6.000 cabin passengers during the season. It is estimated that enough will rail earlier and later to bring- the total up to 125,000. Foreigners control most of the steamship lines and they will receive In passage money about $,10,000,000 in American cash. The tourist army is ex pected to spend something like $70,000, 000 in living and other expenses abroad, making a total of at least $100,000,000 that will go to fatten European pocket books. WALL SXSEET AND WASH INGTON. From the Albany Times-T'nion. It is noticeable that most of the pos Kible combinations to beat President Roosevelt for the nomination next year are suggested by Wall street financiers or Washington politicians. The assertions made from time to time of his political failures have come chief ly from the same sources. Ever since he has taken, office this "expert" opin ion has been busy pointing out oc casions on which the president has committed political suicide. By thi.i time these views of high financiers and practical politicians are taken by the country at about their true value. These prolific sources of srossip seem strangely out of touch with the real sentiment of the country. A Washirgton correspondent of many years' experience has called at tention to the fact that this phenome non is old. The veteran politicians of Washington expected Blaine to be nominated in 1876 and to be elected in 1. Thy saw no chance for Cleve land In 1S92, and at various times they have predicted the triumph of such presidential possibilities as Gorman. Flower, Voorhees, Hill and Hendricks. The continued overthrow of their prophecies has not made them more diffident about expressing an opinion. Occasionally their judgments are still accepted by the public on the ground that they are at the center of things and so ought to know. The reason why Wall street and Washington so frequently go astray In political predictions is the same in both cases. Both the financiers and the politicians .us. so close to the n-achine that they forget that the power is with the people, after all. A political manipulator with money seems I '1 vincible to men who are constantly peeing the power of the organization manifested in minor affairs in which the people are not concerned. So when fsotne matter comes up over which the -voters are thoroughly aroused the Washington observers and the'' Wall street speculators find their most cher ished prophecies overturned. They know that the coterie which, is general ly supposed to control things favors a ship subsidy, and so they assume that It will be adopted in spite of popular ef.-poslt.ion. They understand the strength of the forces oprc-ted- to Cu ban reciprocity and so fail to count on a rally to the president which will com pel action- against the will of the lead ers. Kxperience shows that in matters involving a conflict between popular feeling and the machine's programme, Wall street and the Washington poli ticians are blind guides. IS LELAND FOll SMITH? Reported That the Old Feud Is Buried. Is Cyrus Leland supporting "Fa-mer" A. W. Smith for department command er of the Q. A. H. at McPherson this week? That is a question that the poli ticians ire guessing on today, and some of them are, guessing- in the aftirmaltvc. Mr. Lif'.lanJ and "Farmer" Smith hive been political enemies for several yefsrs. Each has turned up his nose at the other. Sndth was one of the lead inn boss busters three years ago, and he and Leland have always.- been at swords points. But recently there has been a consid erable change in certain quarters. For instance, Pat Coney and Leland have grown quite familiar. Captain Coney was also prominent in the original boss buster movement. He backed Pool GriTT" stead in the bitter fight- which Grin stead. made on Leland in Doniphan county, which landed Grinstead in jail and incidentally caused Captain Coney to be indicted by a United States grand jury for misuse of the mails in writing a letter abusing Leland. The letter in some way fell into Leland's hands. The indictment followed. But now Coney and Leland are warm friends. Just how it started no one knows, but the beginning dates back three or four months. At first both seemed ashamed of it. One would be sitting in the Copeland lobby when the other would come in. They would wink at one another and then get off in some corridor and converse. Now each is ready to acknowledge that the other is a pretty decent sort of a fellow after all. Coney has always been a warm friend of "Farmer" Smith. He has boomed Smith for every office he has wanted, and they have been legion. This year, as there isn't anything else to run for. Smith is a candidate for department commander of the (J. A. R.. with a good chance of being successful. And it is rumored that Leland. is supporting Smith, It has leaked out that when Smith's name was connected with the new boss busters' movement a few weeks ago ne hurried to Gov. Bailey's office to deny it. He had a long conference with the govern or, lie denied having been at the boss busters' meeting or to have had any con nection with the movement. Since then Smith and Leland have been getting chummy and only a few days ago ih-'y had a long consultation at ihe Coin-land, an incident that caused no end of astonin ment to the friends of both who 'heard of it.

Coroner's Jury Finds That Mun din Fired the Shot. CONFLICTING STORIES. Claude .Mundin Finally Admits His Presence. Mrs. Mahanna Identifies 'AH the Prisoners. Elmer Mundin will be held for the murder of Mary Mahanna, as the re sult of the Inquest held at Sbellabar ger's undertaking1 establishment yester day and today. It was shown almost to a certainty that he shot Mary Ma hanna, but Deputy Attorney Jamison, who conducted the investigation, saw m A-V.'A f y f hi :j

Elmer Mundin in the Patrol Wagon on the Way to the Inquest, fit to hold all five of the parties arrest ed, E. D. Thompson, T. H. Devlin, Cornelius Callahan, Claude Mundin and Elmer Mundin. Warrants charging all of. them with murder were issued today and they will be held for the prelim inary in the court of Topeka. The five suspects testified at the in quest which began yesterday, and ex cepting the two Mundins, who have told differert stories each time, told straight stories of the affair. Thomp son and Callahan said they were stand ing in front of the house, after they had been induced to go outside by the girl, when Devlin got in the buggy and started to drive away. The two Mundins, who had gone down to the creek and fired a few shota with the rifle, were returning to the house, and when they saw Devlin drive away. Elmer, who carried the gun, ran after him a few steps and called to him to halt. When he did not, they say, Mundin raised the rifle and fired at him. Then the girl ran inside, both Mundins running after her. Callahan and Thompson say that they had not any thing to do with the assault on the door or the shooting, nor did Devlin, who was by that time out of sight. Elmer Mundin struck the door twice with the breech of the gun, and then suddenly reversing it, fired through the door. Callahan says that when the shot was fired Elmer and Claude aiunmn Dotn U'rned and ran south toward Sixth street, and he heard "Mother" Mahanna scream, "You've shot my Mary." Then he (Callahan) and Thompson ran away also. Claude Mundin insisted that he had not been with the party, and told of his imaginary movements during the after noon. He said that Elmer and the others came to his borne and borrowed the gun, which belonged to him; he never saw them again until he was ar rested and they were in jaiL Claude Mundin told his story with hanging head and spoke in a mumbling monotone which was not audible three feet away. Elmer Mundin told his story in a rambling way, but was sure that Claude Mundin was one of the party. He denied the shooting, and said that he went to sleep under the bridge close to the house. While .telling his story he acted "dopy," and took little interest in the testimony of the other men. On the way back to Jail he had a fit while handcuffed to Claude Mundin in the patrol wagrm, but recovered upon reach ing his ci 11. Todav the inquest was concluded about noon. The same witnesses were oucstioned a-rain, and the three repeat ed their former testimony. Both Mun dins failed to do so. S'.mer, who testi fied yesterday that he knew nothing of the si noting, said that he first knew of it whde running away from the house, and that Claude took the gun away from him and told him to "hike" and that he had killed the cirl. Claude Mundin broke down and con fessed tha-t the story he told on th?r stand yesterday was false from start to finish, and admitted that he was with the iarty"and saw the shooting. After the inouest was closed he went with Sheriff Lucas to recover the rifle, which he had hidden in the weeds near Sixth street Mother" Mahanna identilied all the prisoners as the paty who were at her house Monday afternoon. The jury was out but a short tiime before bring ing in the verdict that Mary Mahanna came to her death as the result of a shot fired by Elmer Mundin. It is probable that Callahan, Thomp son and Devlin will not be held after the prelimirary hearing:, hut almost a surety that the. two Mundins will get to the district court. In the investigation yesterday and today Deputy Oounty Attorney Jami son attempted to get evidence which would disprove' anything tending to show that Mundin Is ins-ane, and asked the witnesses if he did not act in the same manner t'. t most any violently drunk mats wouM- w Thev ail said that he acted different from an ordinary drunks and they thought he must be deranged. Claude Mundin, who says he is a second couiri to Elmer, says that since Elmer came to Topeka from Wichita in Jammrv he had, acted queer and that he thought there was something the mutter with his spine. Eimer. he said, had frfquent tits of spasms. Elmer Mundin said that his home was in Wichita and that he was married, but did not live w-ith his wife. He is a confirmed- cigarette fiend and smokes all the time when not engaged in having a tit. Mrs. Mahanna. mother of the dead girl, has retained Attorney Joseph Reed to as sist in the prosecution of the five defend ants The object is to attempt the con viction f all the parties as. equally guilty, without electing as to who fired the fatal shot.

Says That Talk About Him Is All Bosh. Beliefes the Platform Should Be a Broad One. Senator Harry McMillan, of Ottawa county, who was one of the few Demo crats in the last legislature, is for W. R. Hearst for the Democratic nomination for president. Senator McMillan is in Topeka this week attending the Knights of Pythias grand lodge. "While I concede that there are oth ers of eminent Qualifications in the Democratic party, I am for W. R. Hearst, of New York, for president," said Senator McMillan today. "We need a new man, and Hearst would not only be very acceptable to the Bryan Duruo- crats all over the country, but he would also not be distasteful to the other win of the riarty in the east. He would arouse jrreat enthusiasm in the party, and that is what we need. "The platform should be a broad one. It should be especially strong and pro nounced on the regulation and control of the trusts and combines and trans portation lines." "What about Cleveland?" the senator was asked. "Oh, this Cleveland talk is all bosh. In the first place, the people of the United States will never stand for third term for any man as president. If General Grant, the hero-of Appo mattox, could not get a third term. man like Cleveland certainly can not. The people will always stand by the precedent established by Washington, when he turned down a third nomina tion. In the second place, there must be no ouestion as to whether the wci. dential nominee stood by the Demo cratic ticket in, 1896 and 1900. That would kill Cleveland off, too." Senator McMillan's district romnriaea Ottawa and Saline counties. When asked whether he would come back to ine seante tor another term eh replied: "I have been so busy with mv ner- sonal business affairs that I haven't tnougnt anything about it. Saline county is entitled to the senator the next term, if she wants it, and it will be gracefully conceded by Ottawa county, and if Saline wants to have it you will find me working as hard for another nominee as I would for myself. iviy orticiai experience has been very pleasant. I have endeavored to the best of my ability to serve my con stituency faithfully. The people of my district, irrespective of party, have al ways used me most kindly. I am very grateful for the preferments they have bestowed upon me, and I believe they are. fairly well satisfied with my efforts in their behalf. "The outlook for the future of our party is good. Where one or two here and there in the state, on whom the Re publicans have always had a string, may fall away, their- loss will be more than made up by liberal-minded Re publicans who are dissatisfied with the extravagant expenditures of the last legislature and confessed inability o- toe Republican party to control the railroads, the trusts and the great com binations.. I believe some means will be found- through mutual concessions by all the elements comprising the fusion forces in Kansas whereby tney will be found under a common banner in the next campaign." NINE BUllEfslfj HIM. Killing of Gov. Bogdanoritch an Act of Revenge. Ufa, European Russia, May 20. Tht assassination of Governor Bogdanovitch in the town park here was apparently an act of revenge growing out of th riot at Slatusk in March last, when 28 persons were killed and E0 others wound ed by gendarmes and troops. Details of the governor's assassination show that he was walking along among the crowds in the park yesterday afternoon when he was approached in a shady lane near the church by two men. one of whom bowed and handed Bogdano vitch a packet. While the governor was examining it the men drew revolvers and riddled Bogdanovitch with bullets no les than nine being lodged in his. breast and spine. Ihe governor died on the spot. The church watchman ran to the scene on hearing the firing bur was unable to stop the assassins, who escaped by threatening to shoot all who barred their way. Bogdanovitch had been governor ot the province for six years and was gen erally popular. LYNCHED THREE. A Florida, Mob Does a Whole sale Business. Tampa, Fla May 20. Amos Randall white, and Dan Kennedy and Harry Goldon, negroes, were lynched at 'Mul berry, Pollt county, 30 miles from here early today for the murder of Harney Brown, a white man. Randall was charged with being the keeper of a "blind tiger" and Brown was a promi nent advocate of prohibition in the cam paign which ended yesterday. Monday night while Brown was en route horn he was shot from ambush and his thro?. o-.:t. The people of Mulberry became en raged and yesterday secured evidence which led them to believe that Randall had employed negroes to kill Brown. The three men were taken into custody, and one of the negroes confessed that Randall had hired them to commit the crime. The trio was taken out about 3 o'clock this morning and lynched, their bodies being riddled with bullets. It is said the work was done by a mob of about fifty unmasked men, many of whom were prominent in the country. Grants 54 Divorces in One Day, Providence, R. I., May 20.

First Anniversary of Independ ence Is Celebrated, AH Business Suspended in the Capital City. Havana, May 20. The celebration of Cuba's independence day, the first an niversary of the establishment of the Cuban republic, began at midnight with the illumination of the fronts of the principal clubs, the sending up of rock ets and the screaching of steam whi8, ties. Business today was completely suspended and the streets were thronged with people. President Palma, accompanied by the cabinet officers and city and provincial officials, drove to the Punta, where he reviewed the members of the police ami fire departments, and then, accompanied by Secretarr of State Zelado, he was driven up the Prado to the palace, con tinually acknowledging the salutations of the crowds which lined that thor oughfare. At noon the guns of Cabanas fortress an nounced that exactlv a vear had planned since the birth of the Cuban republic and immediately thereafter the rural guards and artillery paraded on the plaza in front of the palace and were reviewed by the president. ROOT'S CONGRATULATIONS. Washington. May 20. Secretary Root to day sent President Palma of Cuba the fol lowing telegram of congratulations: "Accept hearty congratulations upon the first anniversary of the establishment of tne moepenaent government of Cuba and upon the strength and wisdom with which you have conducted your great office. The year of successful administration and re spect for law has confounded the enemies of Cuba and strengthened the courage and hope of her friends. You have my sincere and earnest wishes for continued prosper- mm Tut Hill out. H. K. Goodrich Likely to Be Ejected from Light Plant. Two members of the claims and ac counts committee, namely Geo. Neil and S. A. Swendson, are said to have, agreed to sustain Mayor Bergundthal in the conflict which will come to an is sue tomorrow with Superintendent H. K. Goodrich of the city electric light plant. Swendson and Neil will refuse to allow Goodrich any pay for what ever time he may serve after May 21. The council is almost certain to stand what Mayor Bergundthal wants. Inability to get any pay will force Mr. Goodrich to test the validity of the old soldier law, and this is exactly what Mayor Bergundthal a-vtns. It was reported today that the dnh- culty will not be settled in any such amicable way. Porter Mitchell, the man who has been appointed to take Good rich s place as superintendent ot the electric light plant, is said to have agreed with Mayor Bergundthal and other Republican leaders to go to thJ plant at midnight tonight and take forcible possession, put Goodrich's per sonal effects out on the sidewalk, and proceed to discharge the duties of su perintendent of the plant. Possession is nine points, and if Mr. Mitchell should once get into the office he would prob ably stay with it until the old soldier law is tested. Otherwise, Mr. Mitchell will no doubt have to simply wait for the case to come before the courts. He will not be In a bad position at all, however, in case the law is declared invalid, for he will be able to collect his salary as sup erintendent from the city while at the same time he is getting a good sum as engineer at the Edison electric light plant. This will be equivalent to a to tal income of about $2,000 a year. Mitch ell ought to be satisfied to wait, it would seem. Mayor Bergundthal denies that any force- will be used to eject Goodrich from the plant. T have not seen Porter Mitchell for several days," he said, "and I don't know of any plan to take the office by force. I believe that the best way is simply to have Mr. Mitchell make a formal demand for possession of the plant, and if it is refused, to signify to the city that he is ready to discharge the duties of the office. It would be just like the case of Bob Mc Master who was appointed commis sioner of elections, and could not get possession of the office. He was subse quently adjudged legally entitled to possession, and he recovered from the city a judgment to the full amount of his salary. That is what Mitchell will be able to do." There is great Interest in the Goodrich case because it is the first time that the old soldier preference law has been tested. In one way or another it has always been dodged by either public officers or the vet erans themselves. The general impression is that the law is class leierislation and will not be held good in the courts. A decision is of great importance to the old soldiers of the state and will be awaited with in terest. Mr. Goodrich ays be has suffi cient financial backing to fight the thing through to a finish. Goodrich was appointed to fill out an un expired term of C. C. Munson, and Mttn son was appointed May 21. VMM. Goodrich's term would therefore expire May 21, 1Ij3. For that reason the parting of the ways occurs tomorrow nd the fight for posses sion of the plant will then commence. It is considered likely that the pay of all the other employes at the plant who hold their jobs in defiance of Mayor Bergund thal will be held up by the council. DROPPED A LUMP.

Miser Remunerates His Victim After Lapse of Fifteen Years. TJtlca, N. Y., May 20. Three weeks ago there died in a hospital at Hamil ton, Ont., George W. Todd, aged 80, who for years had been a miserly peddler. Todd has always been looked upon as penniless, but after his death a wallet was found in his pocket containing a bank book and securities worth $40,000. A Syracuse bank has submitted a will. In which Todd says: "I give and bequeath all rny moneys, with all other property, to Mrs. Peter Jordon, of Brocktu:i, Mass-., as remuneration to the theft of a pocketbook which she (Mrs. Jordon) lost on the last night of the Brockton Fair. October 8, 1888, I being the one who secured the same. I made a statement at the time that I would make all things good before I would die and I have taken this means of doing right to the wronged. Send her word of the good luck that comes to her by the loss of her pocketbook, and long may she live and en'joy same." MEANEST MAN IN MAINE. Changed Inscription on Wife's Tomb stone for Parents' Grave. Bangor, Me., May 20. The meanest man in Maine has been discovered by a Portland lawyer. He is a resident of Cumberland county, and when his wifi died some years ago he erected a good headstone at her zrave. Bast year his father and. mother died and. going to the grave of his wife,' he removed the stone, had the lettering cut away ami another inscription carved with the names and ages of his parents. "I thought," he said, "that my wife, who has been dead eight years, could get along without a headstone better than the old folks, and I could maks one stone do for both of them. "This man," said the lawyer, "had n dispute with his brother over som property left by his father, and the story concerning the gravestone came out in the course of the testimony at a referee's hearing."

Grass Valley, Cal., May 20. Fully 2,000 people from Grass Valley, Nevada City and the surrounding country journeyed to Colfax to greet President Roosevelt and witness the presentation of a hand some box of quartz specimens and nug gets. Long before the presidential train arrived from Reno, a multitude such as Colfax had never seen before gathered about the depot. As the president's train pulled in a mighty cheer went up and as President Roosevelt appeared three ringing cheers were given. The president bowed his acknowledgments. Mounted on a draped truck, Superi5r Judge Nilon presented the president with the box of riuartz specimens. The president accepted the box and made a brief address, thanking the people for the gift and expressing his appreciation of the compliment paid him by the as sembly of such a large number of people. Truc-kee, Cal., May 20. President Roosevelt stopped here for fifteen min utes. He was escorted to a platform near his train, -where he made a short address.

He said he was convinced that San Fran cisco, "on that wonderful harbor," would do its full share in dominating the commcice of the nation. The speak er complimented California men and women. He said the physical advan tages of a country were useless with out good men. Other nations had fail ed ecause the type of citizenship was different. The president dwelt at length on the qualities of good citizen ship. Among the gifts estowed to those on the presidential train were specimens of copper, Shasta's great product.

In re versing the decision of the St. Louis circuit court in the case of ex-Delegate H. A. Faulkner and ex-Delegate Julius Lehmar.il, the Missouri supreme court holds that the mere allegation that a combine existed in the house of dele gates of St. Louis to control the action of that body on the Suburban bills is not sufficient to warrant the assump tion that Faulkner and Lehmann were members of that combine and knew of the $75,000 which was deposited in the Lincoln Trust company to secure the passage of the bill, but that the state must go further and prove that a com bine did actually exist and that it was formed for the purpose of controlling the action of the house of delegates on the Suburban bill. The court hoids that the trial court erred in permitting Paul Reiss to testify to a conversation which he had with Julius Lehmann- in May, 1901, regarding the $75,000. On this point the opinion of the supreme court follows: "As defendant (Faulkner) had not in voked this hearsay, it was obviously in competent and highly prejudicial to al low the state to introduce it on the claim that Reiss was entitled to tell from whom he had heard it. He had al ready detailed at length all that the de fendant had told him, and beyond that it was contrary to elementary prin ciples and improper to permit him tr tell the jury what some one else had told him in the absence of the defend ant. The defendant could not be found by what Lehmann, in his absence and without defendant (Faulkner) consent ing thereto, had told Reiss six months previously. "Lehmann's statement, so far as Faulkner was concerned, was pure hear say and inadmissible, and in no way binding on Faulkner, and the circuit court erred in admitting it over the pro test of Faulkner" As to the claim made by the state that this statement of Lehmann to Reiss was not a privileged communica tion, the court defines a privileged com munication and a communication that is not privileged as foilow-s: "First To be privileged a communi cation must pass between the client and j his attorney in professional confidence, and in the legitimate course of profes j sional employment of the attorney. "Second If the communications are by the client made to the attorney be j fore the commission of the crime and i for the purpose of being guieied or help cd in its commission, they are not priv I ileged." Measured by this definition, the court says that the communication from Leh mann to Reiss was privileged, leeeausi; the crime of bribery was complete, so far as the original agreement to pass the Suburban bill in consideration of the S75.0OO was concerned. "Lehmann knew and was bound to know, and Reiss, the attorney, knew that Lehmann's claim against stock of the Suburban company was one which no attorney could force in any court. No judicial tribunal would have listemed to such a proposition for an instant and the attorney advancing it would have deserved disbarment." Of all the St. Louis boodle cases that have been tried only three have been decided by the Missouri supreme court. The first was the case against Emil Meysenberg, a wealthy member of the city council. In that case the result in the supreme court was a reversal. Judge Sherwood, who wrote the opinion, did not stop with reversing the case, but took occasion to criticise in the strongest possible language, the circuit attorney of St. Louis and the methods he used in the trial of his cases. Julge Sher wood was preparing to leave the bench at the time. Judge Fox having been elected in his place, and his denuncia tion of Folk was considered, by those who believe with Judge H. S. Priest, that bribery is only a conventional crime, one of the masterpieces of his thirty years' work on the bench, but it did not stop the prosecutions, nor the investigation of boodle in St. Louis; neither will these decisions stop the in vestigation of the state boodle cases. Jews Denounce the Russians. San Francisco, Cal., May 20. The Jewish residents of the city held an enthusiastic mass meeting last night for the purpose of denouncing the Rus sian government for the recent out rages perpetuated on the Jews ef that country.

Canada Is Willing to Share With the British Empire. Quebec, May 20. Canadians of every class are discussing Joseph Chamber lain's recent speech at Birmingham in favor of trade reciprocity within the British empire. The preferential trade idea is generally popular but the pre judice against further Canadian assist ance to Britain' in her foreign wars is very strong in French Canada. The cabinet ministers at Ottawa will not discuss the speech. The members and supporters of the government af fect to believe that this threat of the Canadian administration has had much to do with Mr. Chamberlain's recent ut terances. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's personal news paper, the Canada, makes a positive statement to this effect. Premier Parent of Quebec and Will iam Price, president of the Quebec board of trade, strongly approve thj preferential trade principle and Mr. Price also believes in colonial contribu tions to the British army and navy.

So certain have I been of this, and so confid.-nt in the firm loyalty, safe "i!.-.-; and moral support of the emi nent help surrounding me, that 1 have felt free to devote my energies during the past months to perfecting a plan for so broadening ami strengthening the organization of the Red ('loss that il may enter on a new Held of useful activity on a work that will appeal directly to the people everywhere, and pvepare them in these times of peaceful well-being, to meet intelligently ami successfully any emergency or disaster that may occur, either nationally or Individually. It is my desire that this new work shall be the me.tns of creating ample funds to meet any great national calamity, and that the Red Cros may hereafter ent -v the held fully equipped at the instant the call may come. Tn times past urgent calls have come to us and r i' i.ms time has been lost through lark of funds and suitable equipment. It is most desirable that This condition should be remedied, and it is to this end that I am making; an app 'al to the American people not for their money nor their substance, but thai they co-operate with me earnestly in this new work this effort to benefit thems. ives, that I am endeavoring to inaugurate. It will be borne in mind that in the twenty years of its existence, the Amer ican National Ited Cross has never ap pealed, never asked for nor sought the s i "f F 1 1 A, I it t i i i i h i Mlis Clara Barton, Head of the National Red Cross Society. as the First Aid repartment of the American National Red Cross, which department will be largely educational. :nd will concern itself in instructing the people everywhere throughout the Unit ed states in the best modern methods of First Aid Treatment, in all cases of ac cident and emergency. Theie will be two distinct branches of this work. For the first, an Emergency Case similar to that in use in England, Germany and other Red Cross treaty nations. This has b jen adapted to American needs and methods, under the direct supervision of the medical board of the Red Cross hospital, and contains material and surgical dressings of the best class known to modern surgery. A most valuable part of the permanent equipment of this emergency case, is a series of emergency charts, arranged for instantaneous reference, giving sim ple, brief instructions for dealing with every conceivable case of accident. pend ing the arrival of the doctor. This chart is the combined work of a com mittee of eminent physicians and sur- igeons; and apart from the admirable manner of its arrangement may be re j garded as the highest standard of auth- ority upon first aid methods of treat j ment, known to the world. I Most perfect arrangements have been made for the manufacture of these em- ergency cases, and an organization is in first aid methods, and apart from the value of the knowledge they will obtain for local use and service, they will form an efficient force to draw from, as helpers in great national calamities. These methods are in no way experi mental. In many European countries, as England, Germany, Russia and even Asiatic Japan, they form one of the strongest features of the Red Cross. They are also in perfect accord with its first principles, viz., the voluntary help of the people for the government, if in need, and the organized help of the people for each other in misfor tune. This practical work in the united hands of the whole American people should raise the organization far above the need of charitable gifts for its sup port. The Red Cross belongs to the people; they should be their own almoners and administer their own charities. The intelligent thought of the philanthropists of the world is behind these methods tried, well as sured and successful; do we need to know more? I make a strong appeal for the forma tion of local committees everywhere to co-operate with the headquarter staff of the first aid department in the for mation of classes. I appeal earnestly to physicians in every town in the United States to render their aid. Next of $5.00 each to be given to the School Children of America. cKo-fh HOC!

Those present told him that would be no system, and tried 40 steer his thoughts into more wholesome channels. Rut no. no, he had the funeral microb?, and insisted on playing corpse. So they fitted him with a "wooden overcoat" and screwed down the lid, leaving the little panel at the top open so that hw face was visible. Rut instead of calling his wife and giving her a cruel shock, the undertakers went out and called in the pcpnlace from the hedges and by wave In solemn procession for several hours they viewed the "remains," who tried to keep his eyes shut and feign a peace ful expression. He got tired of the fun and the pleasantries of the "mourners" and wanted out, but the screws hell fast. As each spectator walked up d' see the corpse he would open one eye to see if it was his wife, and th:n hastily compose his features. The box in which he was confined was not a "downy bed of ease," but made of hard lumber and very tmcomfortable. When the effect of the liquor had disappeared Mr. Fox was tbc most frhrMrned in.ll vidual in the city limits. He !:nev he was in a coffin and f?e.red that he was about to be buried alive. A deaf cap was turned to his appeals for help, but he was allowed to pound and shout for an hour before the lid was unscrewe.1, and he raised up and exclaimed, "Gosh, that v.-?.s a c'ose call'" There was no mom-ring wife, for she had not been notified of her husband's nreioa m-it It was 0 o'clock at night ivben F was released, a soberer and It is hoped a wiser corpse.

From the fact that every country pos sesses some natural source from which -orm of suar may be obtained direct from Nature s laboratory', we must con clude that it is one of the essential foods required for man's daily use. .Sugars are one of the carbonaceous foods containing much carbon they contain hydrogen and oxygen in propor tion to form water, and about the same amount cf carbon. They may therefore be regarded as water, with carbon dif fused through it. Sugar aids in tlw digestion and may be converted into fat in Turkey the ladies of Ihe harem are fed on honey, sweets and thick gruel to make flesh as this is the distinguishing mark of beauty. On the sugar planta tions the negro laborers grow, fat during the sugar-making season. That the lat ter do not suffer because of the develop ment of heat iroqp this source is i;er- i haps due to their active employment as well as to the fact that carbor.aceous I materials become a source of museulat j force as well as heat. Mai;le sugar is i strictly a North American product. Thi sugar maple (acer saccharinum) abounds in the I'nited States and Canada and in the early spring the trees yield quite a large quantity of sap or juice. This is obtained by tapping or boring- the bark of the larger trees just before the buds start and inserting wooden spiles, upon which the "sap buckets" are hung t catch the juice as it exudes. The run ning of the yap begins about the first week in March and continues until the warmth is sufficient to start the buds and foliage. After this the quality of sap yielded is inferior. The ideal "sugar irg off" weather is during the period of alternate short, thaws and freezing suells. In the maple sugar belt the announce ment of "the run" of the sap is the commencement of social features which are hailed with delight by young and old, as it furnishes an opportunity fov festive gatherings which are a not '00 common occurrence in some farming sections. Not the least pleasant anticipation to all concerned is the income derived fiom the sale of this rroduct. which is sure of a ready market. The sap needs no purification or decolorizing, and may be prepared directly for the market by a simple process of boiling down, which is done r.vpr large camp fires in the woods. The thick, deliciously flavored maple molasses is the sap condensed by boiling in large kettles over these fires or by evanoration in pans or boiled to just the right degree to make the never-to-be-forgotten sweetmeat sold in the St. Johns, N. R., markets in boxes of birch hark stripped fresh from the tr? and filled with the "taffv." The boiling may be continued until the syrup is condensed into sugar in both a crystal line and non-crystalline form; this !s run into molds to form solid cakes or various sizes. The characteristic flavor of maple sugar bars it from table use?, but makes it greatly to be desired for many delicious confections and dainty desserts, and who that has ever been so blessed to once have partaken of thi combination can resist the Doteirt charm of waffles tender, melting, ethe rial and golden, with their rk.-h glaze of golden brown manle syrun. MAPLE SUGAR SAUCE. Put a cup of maple syrup over the fire and when it begins to simmer skim it carefully, then add a leevl table it carefully, then add a level table or flour rubbed together to a cream, with a grating of nutmeg, stir until it S3 SbIII and x rv 1 1 BE INDEPENDENT. It's Easy to Shake Off the Coffee Habit. May Not Be the Runaways. Kmporia. Kan.. May 20. The Ga zette says: "L,ast night Mrs. Pcolt re ceived a telegram from her cousin who went to Des Moines to get the two run away Emporia girls. He saw the two girls under nrrest there, who were thought to be the missing ones and says they are not the Empovia girls. It is possible that he is mistaken though as he had not seen his cousin before for a year or more. When he went to see them the girls refused to talk to him at fir-t. This is regarded as sig nificant. Mr. Pcott. father of one of the girls, and I. A. Dryer, left Kansas City yesterday for Des Moines and the giris will be held until it is assured that they are not the ones wanted.

I began to have serious heart palpi tation and at times had sharp pains arour-d the heart and mot? or l;-ss str.rr.3ch trouble. I read about Postum and got some to try.

Further particulars of the wreck nea Caldwell on the Rook Island, which, was reported in Tuesday's State Journal, have been received. The engine which ran away out of the Caldwell yards was a largo freight en gine, and is supposed to have been started by boys who climbed into the cab while the firemen and engineer were away. The boys who started the en gine must have jumped out when they found they were unable to stoo the V reck. The train which was struck was the Chickasha aooommocla tion, coming in'o 'ldwell at the rate of 4" miles an houi-. The engineer and fireman suv the wild eneine coming, and reversed their en gine. There was nothing to do to pre. vent the collision, and by reversing th'dr engine they made the shock as light as T'ossible. Then they jumped to save themselves. The crash occurred two Tniles south of Caldwell. The tender of the wihl engine was demolished, and the engine, tender and mail car of the passenger were wre ked. A most peculiar circumstance was that I iter the collision the wild engine was rn.r.sed from its tender, and either from the force of the collision or because the shock reversed the lever, st.irtd back down the grade toward C'ahUvoll, and brought up in ttie Caldwell yards in nearly the place it stnrte 1. The killed were W ilbur Birkett, a son of p. Santa Fe man at Caldwell, who was riding on the blind baggage, ant II. T. livers, a Kansas City postal clerk, who was found in a pool of pcalding water, lit rally cooked. lit. livd only e. short time. A great many others were slightly ln j'.ird. All the seats in the chair oar wore piled into one end by the force of the collision and many passengers sin. tained bruises and eulp. The Wellington Mail says: "A W.

Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dan gerous Drugging of the Stomach. Not until Hyomei was discovered has it been possible to truthfully say that a remedy for catarrh was known. This remedy is breathed through the Hyomei inhaler for a 'few minutes four times a day, and during that time, every particle cf air taken into, the air pas sages and lungs is impregnated with the germ killing and health giving Hyomei. It is the only treatment that cures catarrh. Stomach drugging often causes dis ordered disestion or brings on som"? other diseases and never makes a per manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not only kills the germs in the throat and nose but penetrates to the minutest air cells in the lunes and enters the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs ir. the blood. It frees the mucous mem brane from poisonous microbes and gives perfect health. A complete outfit costs but $1.00. and includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi cient Hyomei for several weeks' treat ment. Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist. 6';2 Kan sas avenue, has so much faith in the merit of Hyomei that he agrees to re turn the money to any purchaser who may be dissatisfied. orderly resort in Kansas City.

It is dis couraging business. The Washburn team will e;o into debt this year again.

Reid, chairman of the execu tive board of the Rock Island system, and Charles D. Warren, assistant to the president of the same corporation, pass ed through Topeka Monday afternoon on their way to Amarillo, Texas, to at tend a meeting of the board of directors of the Choctaw, Oklahoma Texas rail road, a road which is owned and opera ted by the Rock Island system. The meeting which was held yester day was attended by many other Rock Island officials and it is said that it was an important one and that construction work in that vicinity was no doubt one of the principal topics for discussion. The Choctaw, Oklahoma Texas railroad which is one of the Rock Is land's many branches in Oklahoma, Texas and the Indian Territory is op erated under a different name on ac count of there being a law in Texas requiring that a railroad in that state shall be incorporated under a separate charter, that it shall etsablish its gen eral offices within the boundaries of the state and that the meetings of the directors shall also be held within the state. The road is a new one, having been built wdthin the last year. It runs from Weatherford, Ok., to Amariilo, Texas. A line is now being built from Amarillo to Tucumcari, N. M., where it will connect with the main line. When this is completed the Rock Island wid have a through line connecting with its main line at Tucumcari and with the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulf at Weath erford and extending as far east as Memphis, Tenn. This will be a .great advantage to the road. It is also rumor ed that a new- line is to be run south from the St. Louis line and will connect with the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulf at some point in Arkansas. When this is done the Rock Island will have about all the lines that are needed in that part of the country. Missouri Bankers Meet. St. Louis, May 20.
