Effort la 2Tade. to Have Enauber Boys Released. .Attorney Joseph Reed brought a ha tioa.i iflrjius suit in the district court this morning to secure the release of Willis ar.fi Adam Knauber from the Re form School. Knauber boys, aged 12 and 15 years, w ire sent to the Reform school by Just, ,70 of the Peace Williams, of Oakland,- 'Williams tried them on the i.'tt'-1 of pilfering from a house which had been vacated. The boys claimed they gathered up some things that had nof-n thrown away by the tenants who left. Williams sentenced the boys to six months in the Reform school. The claim is made that the justice over reached his authority in sending the beys to the school for a term. It is not a penal institution and boys can not be sentenced there. The justice then made a few technical errors such as sending the complaint to the school and not naming the two boys in a warrant. On those and some more technical errors Reed expects to get the boys out. JUDGE STERRY DEAD. Well Known Santa Fe Attorney Dies at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., May 22. Judge C. N.

GOODRICH IS1)UT. lie Is "Forcibly" Displaced at City Light Plant. Porter Mitchell, the newlv appointed superintendent of the city electric light plant, took charge of his office today. H. K. Goodrich, whom he superseded, retired under protest but there was no clash of arms. Goodrich was away at the time Mitchell was installed by Mayor Bergundthal and, as Goodrich had the keys to the office, Mitchell was obliged to cool his heels outside until after dinner. Although some of the em ployes strongly sympathize with Good rich he advised them to accept the sit uation and to make no trouble. The installation of Mr. Mitchell was without pomp or ceremony. He went to Mayor Rergundthal's business office and he -and the mayor repaired to the city building where Mitchell was given his sealed certificate of appointment. Then the two went to the electric light plant at the corner of Second and Ad ams streets. Brashear, the colored en gineer was the only man on duty and he said, "Good morning," to his new superior with the utmost equinimity. "You are to take your orders from Mr. Mitchell from now on," said the mayor. "Yes, sir." said Brashear civilly, and went on abotit his work. The following notice was then tacked up on the bulletin board; "Notice to F.mployes: Porter M. Mitchell havincr been appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council as superintendent of the city electric light plant, is this day put in charge of said electrical light plant as Its superintend ent, and all employes shall hereafter act under his orders. Any violation of this order will be sufficient cause for discharge. "W. S. EEROrNDTHAL. Mayor." The door of the office was locked. and Mitchell made no effort to get in but walked over the plant and pointer, out several things about. the plant which he wanted the mayor to see Presently the mayor went back to town and left Mitchell in charge. "If Mr. Goodrich expects me to bgin suit to get him out of office. said Mavor rVergundthal this morning, "he is mistaken. His term of office has ex pired and he has been succeeded. Goodrich's term in the service of thtr city is out, and if there is any suins done it will have to come from the other si'-e." Mayor Rergtindthal left word that if there was any trouble at the electric light plant over the exchange of super intendents a policeman would be sent down to quiet things, but his anticipa tions of a sanguinary encounter with the ex-superintendent seem to have: been groundless. Mr. Goodrich went tc the electric light plant this afternoon, having been away at the time Porter Mitchell took charge. He made a for mal refusal to relinquish the office but turned over the keys and left his would-be successor in charge. When asked what he was going to do Mr. Goodrich said he was not prepared to say. but that he would probably do something. It reallv looks as though Goodrich had concluded that a contest would not be worth while. THE FL V IS NOT THERE. Russell and Smith County Mon Say Wheat Isn't Hurt Charles Hall, of Russell, is in Topeka today on his way from Kansas City. He says that there is no Hessian fly in his county and that the outlook for the wheat crop could not be better. Repre sentative L. M. Linton, of Lebanon, who is also here today, makes the same kind of a report regarding Smith coun ty wheat.' As a matter of fact the Hessian fly scare is doubtless greatly exaggerated. The principal reports of damage come from Harvey and McPherson counties, and even there it is probably not as bad as has been represented. Last year over two million acres of the six million sown were plowed up and the balance did not yield extra well. This year, even the Hessian fly scare probably will not cause more than a hundred thousand acres to be plowed up perhaps not half that amount and the balance is generally reported as ex ceptionally tine, so that there will be close to six million acres of good wheat harvested, as against approximately four million acres of mediocre wheat last year, and yet last year's crop was 55 million bushels. W ILL TAKE ALL STOCK Not Wanted by the Shareholders of the Pennsylvania. New York. May 22. Ktthn.

President Lays Corner Stone of the Monument Commemorating the Lewis and Clark Expedition. A CROWD OF 25,000. Witnesses the Ceremony and Hears His Speech. Leaves Oregon and Enters the State of Washington. Portland, Oregon, May 22. President Roosevelt stopped three hours in this city. At Salem, the capital of the state, a stop of three hours was made and the president delivered an address on citi zenship at the capitol. The only other stop made during the day was at Ore gon City, a manufacturing town 15 miles south of this city. All along the route crowds gathered at the stations and gave the president an enthusiastic reception. In this city he maoe the two speeches, one at the laying of the corner stone of the Lewis and Clark mon ment and another at the banquet given in his honor at the Hotel Portland by the citizens of Portland. The president spent the night here and at 9 o'clock this morning resumed his journey. .When the president reached the city park 25,000 had assembled there to wit ness the laying of the corner stone of the Lewis and Clark monument. The spot where the monument is to be erect ed is an elevation 200 feet above the city from which point a fine view of the Columbia and Willamette rivers, Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams and other snow-capped peaks of the cascade range can be had. Mayor Williams delivered the address of welcome to which the president re sponded briefly. He then laid the corner stone of the monument that is to be erected in hon or of the famous expedition of Captains Lewis and Clark in 1805 which gave to the United States the great northwest territory known as the Oregon country. The exercises at the park were some what curtailed on account of a slight shower of rain. The crill room of the hotel where the 1 banquet was held presented a handsome appearance. Having ueeu mr. -Ui i I a profusion of roses, lilies of the valley, potted plants and hundreds of electric j lights of various colors. Mayor Williams presided and introduced the president. 1 Long before the president arrived in this citv the Hotel Portland, where he spent the night, was surrounded by a company of national guards, while a secret service man stood at every en 1 trance, no one being admitted except by 'on his way to the depot the president noticed an invalid child lying upon a stretcher on the curbing. He stopped i his carriage, alighted and kissed the lit tie girl. i t the laying of the corner stone ot i the Lewis and Clark memorial the pres ident said: "We come here today to lay a coi ner stone that is to call to mmd the greatest single pioneering feat on this continent, the voyage across the con tinent bv Lewis and Clark, which rounded out the ripe statesmanship oi Jefferson and his fellows by giving the United States all of the domain between the Mississippi and Pacific. Following their advent came the reign of the fur trader and then some sixty years ago those entered in whose children and children's children were to possess the land. Across the continent in the early forties came the ox-drawn, white-topped wagons bearing the pioneers, the sal wart sturdy, sunburnt men, with then wives and little ones, who entered into this country to possess it. You have, built ud here this wonderful common wealth, a oommonwealth great in its past, and infinitely greater in its fu ture' (Aoplause.i "It was a pleasure to me today to have as oart of my escort the men of the Second Oregon who carried on ex pansion of our people beyond the Pa cific as your fathers had carried It on to the Pacific. I sneak to the men of the Pacific slope, to the men whose orederessors gave us this region be cause they yvere not afraid, becaus they did not seek the life of ease and safety, because their life training was not to shrink from obstacles but to meet and overcome them; and now I ask that this nation go forward as it has g-one forward in the past; I ask that it shane its life in accordance with the highest ideals: I ask that we gov ern the Philippines primarily in the in terest of the people of the islands. (Aoplause.) And just so long as men like Taft and Luke Wright are ther-e they will be so governed. I ask that our name be a synonym for truthful and fair dealing with all the nations ot the world: and I ask two things in con nections with our foreign policy that we never wrong the weak and that we never f.inch from the strong. "Today the secretary of the nav.r spoke of the great pride we take in the feats of the mighty battleship which bears the name of this state, the Oregon. (Cheers and applause.) It is a good thing to cheer her, but it is a better thing: to see that we keep on building- ships like her and even better. That is the right way to cheer our Oregon, to see our senators and repr sentatives in congress to go on with the building of the United States navy. Whether we wish it or not. we have to be a great power; we have to play great part. -A 11 w-e can decide is whether we will play that part well or ill, and if I know my countrymen ther is scant doubt as to how the decision will come cut. "We have met to commemorate a mighty pioneer feat, a feat of the old days, when'- men needed to call upon every ounce of courage and hardihood and manliness they possessed in order to make good our claim to this conti nent. Let us in our turn with equal courage, equal hardihood and manliness carry on the task our forefathers have entrusted to our hands; and let us re solve that we shall leave to our children and our children's children an even mightier heritage than we received in our turn. I ask it and I am sure that it wll be granted." At Salem the president spoke as fol lows "It is not only the lesson of what these men did In war that we need to learn, my fellow citizens: it is the ap plied lesson of citizenship that they teach. Fundamentally, in this country, we are free from the dreadful curse of religious hatred and persecution which has worked so much evil In times past in the world at large. We realize that a cornerstone in the building of this government must be not merely reli gious toleration before the law, but a genuine religious toleration among our selves. We in America are to be held thrice blessed that the chance for ani mosity between Jew and Gentile or be tween Christian sects has become in finitesimal to the vanishing point. Once more, not only must there be no line of demarcation drawn among out people on gTounds of creed or grounds of sect, but there must be no line of demarca tion drawn among them on grounds of class or occupation. There is but one safe rule to follow in public life as in private and that is the old, old rule of treating your neighbor as you would like your neighbor t o treat you (ap plause); the old rule of decency, of hon esty, of square dealing as between man and man. Just so long as our people keep character, so long as they have the fundamental virtues of decency, of courage, of common sense, Just so long we may rest assured that this country will go onward and upward until it oc cupies a place among the nations of mankind such as has never before been known since the days when history was first written." President Roosevelt and party left here at 8" o'clock this morning over the Northern Pacific for Puget Sound. The president was loudly cheered by the crowds of people along; the route from the hotel to the station. FIRE By Stroke of Lightning Daring Storm In Ohio. Cincinnati, May 22.

Ambassador McCormick Says He Feels Sure of It. London, May 22. Ambassador Mc Cormick is here for a few days on his way from St. Petersburg to America. He sails on the Kron Prinz Wiihelm Wednesday next with his wife and Miss Patterson. The St. James Ga zette today prints an interview with him, in which he is quoted as saying: "One of my last official acts before leaving St. Petersburg was to interro gate the Russian government on its policy toward Manchuria. I was as sured that Russia had no desire to see the Manchurian ports closed to the United States or to have its consuls excluded. "The Russian government was em phatic in declaring that it was at one with America in the open door policy in China, and what applies to the L'nited States must apply to every other power. Your government also received and accepted similar assurances. I know M. Witte is a firm advocate of the open door, and I have every reason to believe that Russia is quite sincere in the matter. She points out that it is to her own interests to sunport that nolicv, and 1 think that is the case The Russian statesmen are very anx ious that the Siberian railway shall b a success and to be so it must get freight in large quantities. Russia can not of herself supply surticient to make the railway the desired success." "You do not consider than that the situation in the far east is in any way serious on account of Russia's policy in Manchuria?" "I do not," replied Mr. McCormick. "I can see nothing at present which need alarm the United States or any other country." Mr. McCormick added that the rela tions between the United States and Russia at the present moment were of a mostly friendly character. "Do you think the United States wdll view Mr. Chamberlain's policy in regard to protection with disfavor?" was the reporter's next question. "I do not see why it should." answer ed Mr. McCormick. "We have set you the example. The suggestion that you give preferential treatment to the colo nies is your own affair. Canada may one day be able to give you all the wheat you want, but not for some time. In the United States, too, we are a growing nation and we are consuming more of our own products.

Fire Destroyed Boiler Plate Mills at Harrisburg, Pa. Harrisburg. Pa., May 22. The origin al boiler plate mills of the Central Iron and Steel company was destroyed by fire early today, entailing a loss of $200,000 and throwing a large number of men out of work. The loss is fully covered by insurance. The fire started in the roof of the eighty-nine inch mill and spread with great rapidity, the tim bers of the old mill and the grease soaked material about the structures burning so fast that the men had bare ly given the alarm before the roof of the mill was in flames from end to end. The two mills had recently been re built and were among the most up-to-date in boiler and other plate making of any in this part of the country. Not long ago the machinery was practical ly renewed and new boilers of large capacity added and electrical appara tus put in. The machinery is ruined and the structure wrecked. Weather Indications.

This Wilf Be a Distinct Advan tage to Jeff. Ex-Champion a Marrel in Sci ence and Footwork. San Francisco, May 22. There is a general expression of wonder at the size of the ring for the Jeffries-Corbett fight on August 14 and the readiness with which the champion agreed to meet the limber fellow in a 24-foot square. "Apparently Jeff 1 ies wants no loop hole for Corbett to get out of," remark ed one of Jeffries' friends today. "Jef fries, Delaney and the entire crowd must have figured on this and on Cor bett's footwork before they ever agreed to it. They must have thought about the Sharkey-McCoy fight when the Kid was at his best. The sailor finally caught the Kid, and when he did the fight ended with a bump. If Sharkey TWO OF BROOKLYN'S could do it with a man like McCoy, why not Jeffries with a man as big as Jim Corbett? With his runs over the mountains. Delaney evidently figures Jeffries tan race everv minute of the battle, and that Corbett will have noth- ing in his soft bandages that can slow the champion up. i "It may be that Delaney has some in- side line on Jeffries' condition the last i time he met Corbett and thinks any such drawback will be missing. At any i rate, a 24-foot ring should make the betting a little more interesting. i Racing at Chicago. Chicago, May 22.

Secretary Hitchcock Opposes Union of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Washington, D. C, May 22. Secretary Hitchcock was at the interior depart ment today for the first time in almost a month, having just returned from a tour of inspection in Indian Territory and Oklahoma, the first official visit ever made to those territories hy the head of the department having especial supervision of their affairs. "I am delighted with all that I saw," said the secretary, referring to his tour, "and am greatly pleased that I went. I found both territories populated by an intelligent and progressive people and the population rapidly growing in both instances. Settlers are going into Indian Territory from all the states of the union, attracted by the exceptional rich ness of the soil, the fine climate and many advantages otherwise presented. The Dawes commission is giving espe cial attention to the enrollment of the Indians and the allotment of land to them, with an honest determination to complete its labors by 1906, the time fixed by congress." Secretary Hitchcock took positive ground against the consolidation of the two territories and their admission as one stare. "Such a union at this time and before the status of the Indians is fixed as contemplated by law." he said, "would be unfair to the Indians and should not be attempted certainly not at this time if at any time. On the other hand the people of Oklahoma are en titled to immediate statehood and there should be no delay in the admission of that territory with its present boun daries. The territory has the population and the wealth to make it a first class state from the outset. The growth of the territory is marvelous. Towns like Anadarko. Lawton and Hobart, which in 1901 consisted of only a few tents each, now have populations ranging fro.-a 6,0'K) to 10.000 and the development of the surrounding country is not less marked." During his trip Secretary Hitchcock spent some time at the Indian farming school at Chilocco. Okla., which is main tained by the government. This insti tution in some respects is a counterpart of that at Carlisle and the secretary says is doing excellent work in teaching the Indians industrial training which will fit them for the practical affairs of life when their stay there is concluded, while at the same time their general education is not overlooked. Six hun dred pupils are being cared for at the school. They range in years from child hood almost if not quite to manhood and womanhood. Sold Liquor Illegally. Sedan. Kan., May 22.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL. FBTBAY EVFNING, MAY 22, 1903. 3 RAILR0ADJ1E17S. Local Hock Island 31 en Like li. F. Yoakum. They Say ile Will Be- a Very Efacieiit President. LEEDS A FINANCIER. lie Is Not a Tract ical Operation OHicial. Woul.l Continue to lie the nancial Manager. Fi- Th rerent report that B. F. Yoakum, president of the St. Louis and Kan Framlsco railroad, is to succeed XV. 15. Leeds as the executive head of the Hock Island and is to have complete control of the iterations cf hoth that road and the 'Frisco which was recently ab sorbed by the former, is causing much cornme.it anions: both the employes and th- officials at the local Rock Island di vision offices. According to their state ments Mr. Yoakum is just the man for the place. Most of them are acquaint ed w'th his methods of railroading and they say that tin y are of the best. One man expressed the opinion of all when he .aid that H. F. Yoakum was a prac tical railroad man and that there was hardly anything about a railroad that h-:' did not know something about. Moreover the change would be agree iHe to all concerned and it is thought by some that it would be to the best fntercsts of the road. Local men say that W. B. Leeds who is at present the executive head of the road is not the rr-tn that should have iharare a railroad system like the Hock Island. Ile is a financier and is better adapted to look after the finan cial interests of the road than to its op eration. Mr. Leeds is one of the prin cipal stockholders of the Hock island. 1 1 is stated that he controls a lare pi- cent of the stock and that it is k.'.own for a fact that he, together with l:d and the two Moores, control about f-5 ,er cent. It was probably this strong combination of moneyed men that put Mi. Leeds in the high posirion which he now occupies. It can readily be seen by this that Mr. Leeds w-oulcl still be "the man behind the pun" even if he tu'ns the presidency over to Mr. Yoa ki.m. The report that Mr. Leeds is to re sign is no surprise to the men who are o the inside although the selection of Mr. Yoakum as his successor is a new ftature of th" deal. Even at the time rhc-n he was made president of the load rumors to the effect that it was nlv for a short time, were plentiful and at one time last fall when he was suffering- with appendicitis the rumor that lie was to resign on account of poor health, was circulated. In fact it has been thought all along by railroad men that it is only a matter of a short tmv before Mr. Leeds will turn over his position to some one else and tak ing this into consideration and also the recent merger of the Hock Island and Frisco svstems it seems no more than natural to think that the appointment of H. F. Yoakum to the presidency would be the next move in that part of the railroad world. WHAT YOAKUM HAS DONE. Why He Is Regarded as a Fit Head for the Rock Island. It is again reported that B. F. Yoak um president of the St. I-ouis Pan Ki-p'ncisco road, is to be the executive head of the entire Hock Island system. He will succeed H. Leeds as presi dent and will have control of the oper ation of the entire system. Within the last. flv years Mr. Yoakum has en larged the Frisco system from a road of l.i'Al miles to one of nearly 5 O'lO miles, and has succeeded in merging it leto a system of l.oeo miles. Since the successful close of the necro tic tuns for this merger has been an nounced i. has leaked out that the Moe.-e-Leeds-Kei.l combination discov ered that the St. I-ouis-Fnion Trust in terests, wbieh absolutely controll'-d the Fieo system through a pool asrec ni't. were not in a nosition tec sec; th'miph their investment comfortably in case of any sudden Wall street c'.is ator, and that a better hH!f;ii:i, which vonld not involve a cash nayment of Calico. (left, could probably be arranged. There being no forfeit to he paid in c ase of failure of the early negotiations, they were broken off the day after th a nnouneement of the Northern Securi ties decision, only to be resumed upon a new basis which involved no cash consideration. The breaking off of the early negotia tions for control of the Frisco unwit tingly proved of still greater advantage to the Rock Island than the saviner of the $'n.ooo.(r''0, for when the early nego tiations were terminated, Mr. Yoakum immediately set out to arrange for the immediate building of the New Orleans extersion without any large cash ex penditures, and admirably succeeded. He first entered into an agreement Wisdom is only Truth The Truth of Wisdom is H Ur -a- Li Li i wry r Sold only in the In-cr-seal Package Tor another truthful example of In-er-seal goodness, get Zu ZtJ QlflCEF? SfJAPS NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY" with the Missouri Pacific for runnini; rights over that road, whereby there is to be a joint use of tracks between th-j Frisco and the Gould properties. This agreement saves the Frisco the expense of building- about XI miles of road. Mr. Yoakum then entered into an alliance with the Southern railway whereby that road will be a half owner in an extensive system of terminals in New Orleans, which will be second to none in the city. As the Frisco already, owns the St. Louis, Memphis Southeastern, run ning from a connection with the Chi cago Eastern Illinois at Thebes to Memphis, it will, by reason of the above arrange'ments. be necessary to build but a small portion of road to complete the gap into New- Orleans, and a prospec tive $12,000,000 expenditure is cut down two-thirds, all of which benefit will now accrue to the Rock Island. The harmonious agreements which were made by Mr. Yoakum are an evi dence of the close relations existing be tween competing railroad lines, anil are in marked contrast to railroad methods of ten or twenty years ago, when rail roads built parallel lines rather than meet upon a common level to the finan cial advantage of all concerned. NO MORE MONEY SPENT. Policy of Railroads in Regard to Cos' of Labor. New York, May 22. President XV. H. Truesclale of the Lackawanna discussed the effect of the high price of labor and material on the railioad situation. "It is evident to all that the present prices are having an adverse effect on railroad improvements" said he. "Speaking of our own road I may say that we are not spending a cent less than usual, but we are not getting so much done for our money. Practically all our improve ments are paid for out of current earn ings. "I do not see any immediate prospect of a reduction in prices, but the salva tion of railroads will be in the continued large gains in gross earnings due to tremendous commercial activity. It would be difficult for companies to meet heavy operating expenses by increas ing freight rates, as every attempt to do so is rait with great opposition. Again, an increase in rates means a re duction in business so that any effort in that direction would work in a circle. "Present prices of labor and material operate against the business of rail roads and consequently have a depress ing effect on the price of securities but the question is not going to worry offi cials to any extent as long as gross earnings keep up their present propor tions." ONE OF THE GREATEST. P. H. Morrissey Tells of the Victory of M. 0. Trainmen. Denver, Colo., May 22. When Grand Master P. H. Morrissey of the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen, which body is now in national convention in this city, learned through the medium of the Associated Press of the settle ment granted the trainmen by the Mo bile Ohio railroad, hfc expressed com plete satisfaction with the result. He said: "We are all pleased with the set tlement. It is gratifying to us thtt a common ground was found for the adjustment of the claims and the stop page of trouble. AVe consider it one of th greatest victories we have ever achieved. The terms of settlement are the granting of the scale of wages that we asked." COLORADO SOUTHERN SUED. Coal Company Wants $600,000 for Alleged Discrimination. Denver, Colo., May 22. A Republican special from Gunnison, Colo., says that suits have been commenced against the Colorado Southern railroad by thr Baldwin Coal company for damages in the sum of $600.ok through alleged vio lation of the constitution of the state by granting "undue and unreasonable; discrimination and preference" to a rival coal comnany in the way of fur nishing means of transportation for it-? P'-oduot and denying the same to Uit plaintiff. President Frank Trumbull made a party to the suit and is charged with owning an interest in the alleged favored company. The defense has tiled a denial and pleads that it is not obli gated to furnish transnortarion facili ties on the plaintiff's tracks, which run from a branch of the road to the min. DOUBLE TRACK BRIDGE. Big Structure Being Planned by Gal veston Roads. Austin, Tex., May 22. It is learned that the Rock Island, the Frisco, the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific have under consideration the matter of join ing in the construction of a new double track bridge across the bay at Galves tion to connectGalveston island with the mainland. It is also stated that the Hock Island and the Frisco had plans prepared for a iaVge general office build ing in Fort Worth. Surveyors are in the field locating the route of a proposed extension of the Graham branch of the Rock Island northwest to a connection with the Choctaw division of the sys tem, a distance of probably 200 miles.

Kansas City, Mo.. May 22. The great est number of subpoenas ever served on a party at one time by the sheriff of Wyandotte county will be served on T. J. White, attorney for the Kansas Town company et a)., today by Under Sheriff James Cummins in Kansas City. Kas. There are 221 subpoenas, each being two pages of closely typewritten matter. The papers are summons in error from the supreme court in the appeal of the case of C. W. Campbell against the Kansas Town company et al. This case has been on the docket of the common pleas court in Kansas City, Kas., for several years and involves the title to about one hundred and sixty acres of land in Ar gentine. Part of the land is occupied by the Santa Fe railroad as their yards and-their Argentine depot. This is one of the suits filed at the instance of R. R. Dunbar, who formed a syndicate about four years ago to raise money to defray the expense of bringing suits on behalf of old Indian claimants to prac tically all the lands in the city of Ar gentine. Judge Holt of the common pleas court before whom the case was tried decided adversely to Campbell, Dunbar and his Indian claimants and the syndic ate is now appealing the case to the supreme court. There are 221 de fendants owning and occupying the land in controversy and Judge Holt's decis ion upheld their titles. NEWS FROM DALHART. Items of Interest from That Busy Rock Island Town. C. C.

The new shup whistle which has been put up over the new power house is not as satisfactory as was expected, but the men that are work ing on it say that within a few days they will have it blowing as well as the eld one. George Ktzel of the blacksmith shop was married last Tuesday afternoon to Miss Emma Allendorf of Topeka. Ktzcl has been off several times of late and the boys were not much surprised when they heard the news. Ktzel, being a godo! fellow, will, of course, do the right thing by the boys. Any old thing in the way of "smokers" will do. A telegram was received by one of the men at the shops yesterday, stating that Frank Vogel, formerly of Topeka, was ser iously sick, with mountain fever at a hos pital in Butte, Mont. Vogel was formerly railroad reporter for a Topeka paper, but gave up the newspaper business and went to Butte, where he secured a position with mining company. "Elmer Munden, who shot and killed Mary Maharma last Monday afternoon, was employed in the water service depart ment, at the Santa Fe shops up until the morning preceding the shooting, when he was discharged on account of having trou ble with the foreman. Munden must have started on his spree immediately after he was given his time. J. M. Gruber, general superintendent of the western district of the Rock Island, is expected to return today from St. Paul, where he has been since last Sunday. Mr. Gruber's headquarters were located at St. Paul when he was with the Great North ern railroad and his family has been living there until he could saecure a house in To peka. They will arrive with him today. Joseph Cowdry, who runs a lathe In the brass corner of the Santa Fe machine shop had a finger taken off 3'esterday morning. It was while working with his machine that his finger was caught and badly mangled. He went immediately to the hospital, where it was thought best to am putate it. It was amputated at the sec ond joint. Mr. Cowdry will probably be absent for several weeks as the result of the accident. A notice has been pasted throughout the shop which states that the next Santa Fe shopmen's picnic is to be held at St. Jo seph on June 20. The number of votes that each town received is as follows; Kansas Citv. 305; Atchison. 31: Leaven worth. 1(16: St. Joseph, 1,127. The total vote was l.WS. St. Joseph was the favor ite from the beginning. When thr- arrange ment committee returned from a trip through the above mentioned towns sev eral weeks ago and reported that St. Jo seph offered the best inducements the men were well pleased for the picnic was held at St. Joseph once before and they do not forget the good time that they had while there.

An American Party Arrives in St. Petersburg. (Correspondence of Associated Press.) St. Petersburg, Saturday, May 9. Paul Milukov, former professor of his tory at Moscow and Sofia and the author of "Sketches of Russian His tory," will leave here for Chicago with in a week. He was selected by Charles Crane a year ago to deliver twelve lec tures at the University of Chicago this spring. Raphael Pumpelly, who has beerv charged by the Carnepie institution with the exploration of Russian Turk estan, has arrived here with his son. R. W. Pumpelly, to procure the neces sary permission. They will join Prof. XV. H. Davis and Ellsworth Huntington of Harvard, and Prof. Richard Norton, director of the American school of classical studies of Rome, at Baku. The party will search for remnants of the once flourishing civilization of the basin of the sea of Aral, will investigate the climatic changes that have taken place there in historical times, and will seek to discover whether such changes have been sufficient to cause the oresent de cline of this region and whether equal if not greater importance should not be attributed to economic and political changes, such as the interruption of the old caravan route by the Arabs and Turks, the devastation of the country, the settlement of a population unused to agriculture and the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope route to India. The party will rempin several months, some of the members perhaps longer, future work being determined by the results of the present reconnoissance. Storm in Panhandle. Oklahoma City, May 22.

To Close the Lumber Yards. New Tork. May 22. In return for a boycott of the labor unions on lumber yards in Brooklyn, the lumber trades' association has decided to close all the yards in Brooklyn and Queens, whica with those now closed in this city will practically tie up the lumber market.

The news is received in the State Jour ral building over wires for this sole pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. A complete copy of the night rt port is also received. The Chicago News says that the ques tion is no longer when will a strike nd, but is who has the injunction. This is a big rountry. In Montana the ground is covered with snow to a depth of ten feet with the temperature beiow zero, while in the eastern cities people are dying from heat.

In an article on irrigation, Kdward A. P.eals of the weather bureau says that there are more than 7,000,000 acres of Irrigated land in the United States. The 'total cost of the irrigation systems of the United States is 64,2&9,601 and the value of the irrigated crops for the sin gle year of 1S?9 was 184,433,438, or 30 per cent greater than the cost of the plants. The number of irrigators was 102, S19, which gives nearly seventy-one acres to the farm. A Scotchman has Just sold in this country the rig-lit to manufacture his invention whereby it Is proposed to sub stitute pigskin for rubber as a material for vehicle tires. "Those who have tried to grow rubber trees," he says, "have found that twenty-two years are requir ed to produce sap. This is too slow. The virgin forests are rapidly disap pearing. The cost of rubber is Increas ing as a result. By long experiments, I find that the hide of the hog can be made an excellent substitute." Kansas hog raisers will take notice. Agricultural experiment stations are now in operation in every state of the United States iniluding Alaska, Ha waii and Porto Klco and steps are being taken under government auspices to es tablish agencies for agricultural In vestigation in the Philippine islands. There are sixty such stations, employ ing nearly 1,000 trained scientific and practical men in the work. The annua! Interne of these stations in 1002 was j tl.32S.M7, of which $720,000 came from the federal government and $6uS,S47 fmm state appropriations and other fourths. During the fourteen years of their existence as a national enterprise there has been expended in their main tenance about $14,000,000, of which $10, 000,000 came from the national treasury and about 1,000,000 from state sources. Mr, J. P. Morgan Is about to afford (mother addition to the long list of ad vantages possessed by the wealthy. A3 has been announced from time to time during Mr. Morgan's visits to Europe lie has accumulated a large and val uable collection of art treasures, so large and so valuabla that in order to bring it to this country the owner would be compelled to pay in tariff duties the sum of SnOO.ooO. Perhaps Mr. Morgan did not object to the amount but disliked to be classed with the com mon herd who contribute their proper fhare of the government expense. Any how, Mr. Morgan did not bring over his fcric-a-brac. He rented a house in Lon don for a year at much less than J:;oo, t'.'fi, placed his collection there and let It remain twelve months, after which !t became "household goods," and can now enter the United States free of Juty. It may be that Morgan was born I financier and can't help it. The annual publication of the depart ment of agriculture known as the year ook will be printed about June 13. James W. Abbott, special agent for the P.ocky mountain and Pacific coast di vision, in a special report makes a re view of the use of mineral oil in road Improvement which he says has been a great success in California. He says: "The growth of oil in popular favor in Southern California has been steady and rapid. Many of those who have had fnost experience with it have come to regard its use in a dry region as the Tnost important discovery ever made in toad making. Quite a considerable 'number ot people have said to the writer, 'We could not go back to the eld conditions; it' we had to give up our oiled roads we would move away.' 'Mr. Abbott thinks that oil can be used t"J advantage at any place in the United States w here the roads become very dry and dusty and where water can be kept out of their foundations in the winter, po that they will "remain firm and not give way beneath the oiled surface in the spring. The reliance must, he said, be upon an oil with an asphalt base. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Troubles of the Trusts. Grand Kapids Press. One by one the trusts are learning that where they rely largely on a mon opoly of the market for success their pathway is rugged and rocky. No soon er are they fairly under way than corn- j petitors spring up, and usually the of j fivers adopt the policy of buying up the new plants at good round prices. The whisky trust went through this experi ence, and the president of the reorgan ized corporation now says of the at tempt to establish a monopoly that it in a policy which "generally leaUs to the establishment of new competitive plants which the large company necessarily is compelled to purchase at high figures in order to obtain the desired monopoly. This piles up increase upon increase of fixed charges and capitalization, and raises doubt as to future ability to pay dividends, and in many cases even to pay fixed charges." The attempt prov ed too much for the whisky trust as or iginally organized, and many other am bitious enterprises can tell the same tale. Notwithstanding this general experi ence, however, the steel trust, the big gest and all things considered, the most successful of them ali, seems to be pur suing the same policy. The statistics of steel production show that in 1:01 the trust produced 67.4 per cent of the en tire American product, while in VM1 it produced but 64.3 per cent. Competi tion has been eating into the business of even this giant company, and the of ficials have succumbed to the tempta tion which has proved so disastrous to the whisky and other concerns. They are buying up such competing plants as the Union Steel company at prices which seem exorbitant and are seeking to establish the trust as a monopoly. It has been claimed in every combi nation that the consolidated company could effect great savings in the cost of operation and the marketing of the fin ished product, being enabled in that way to distance all competitors. If th;it claim is true it seems peculiar that all of the trusts take so much pains to smother competition by the absorption of new plants. The fact seems to be that whether necessarily so or not the big combinations are equally as expen sive to operate as the smaller concerns, and that as a matter of fact their soli hope of controlling the market lies in their ability to create a monopoly. What the attempt to do that results in is shown in the history of the whisky trust above alluded to. Evidently the commercial evolution resulting in the trusts is still far from complete and the trusts themselves must pass through several stages before their real place in the economy of industry is fully estab lished. The People "Will Decide. Omaha Bee: There continues to be intimations, hav ing a more or less plausible character, of secret movements hostile to the nomina tion of President Roosevelt by the next Republican national convention. It is very well understood that there is a considera ble railroad opposition to Mr. Roosevelt and it is quite safe to assume that none of the trust magnates desire his nomination. The antagonism of these was exiweted from the moment the president showed his determination to enforce the laws. Find ing Mr. Roosevelt firm against their re monstrances and entreaties the men con trolling- the great combinations turned against him aii doubtless are losing no opportunity to make their opposition effec tive. Without being disposed to under rate the influence of this hostility to the president we do not believe it will be able to prevent bis nomination. P.ut it is said that certain prominent Re publicans, leaders in their respective fctates, are plotting against the president. It is difficult to believe that the statement has any stibstant ial foundation, for men named in this connection have been under stood to be most friendly to Mr. Roose velt and to lie in accord with the over whelming sentiment of the Republican party in favor of his nomination. More-' over, it seems most improbable that such j Republican leaders as Senator Manna audi Senator Fairbanks would adopt a course J certain to create more or less discord in j the party and thereby impair its hanees of winning in the next national campaign. They may not ie altogether pleased and j satisfied with the president's course, but J as fxperienoe and sagacious politicians; they understand that party tenrmonv is es- j sential to success m xt year ami they must also realize that thir own political future very largely depends upon a national Re publican victory in l!o4. Senator Hanna has frequently been quoted as saying that he is not and will not be a candidate for presidential nomination. It has been re ported that be even so stated to Mr. Roosevelt. Senator Fairbanks, while he has been spoken of as a possibility, is not known to have any support outside of In diana. We can not think that either of these distinguished Republicans will im peril their party by allyins themselves with the railroad and trust opposition to Theodore Roosevelt. JAYHAWKEE JOTS. An industry badly wanted at Indus try is a railroad. Chickens running at large has caused several feuds at Ellis. Wichita bartenders "view with alarm" the proposed aerated water plant scheme. The Topeka bakers are on a strike for "more dough." They knead it in their business. At a family dinner at Glasco recently fifty-five relatives were helped to browned beef and gravy. A Gray county bachelor ate so much at a church supper that he became foundered and lost his toe nails. A Dodge City woman does so much visiting between meals that she is be coming known as the "gad fly." Those tales from along the flooded Smoky about the finny tribe eating up the young corn sounds rather fishy. A Great Bend paper may be sued for libel. The editor makes the statement that the saloons are selling only bot't drinks. A name Is often misleading. Police man Blight fell asleep on his beat at Fort Scott and some one stole his club and star. A Leavenworth father is worried be cause kidnappers are after his daugh ter. Does he fear their efforts will be unsuccessful? The Burlington merchant who refused to contribute to the Fourth of July fund evidently expects the money" to go up in smoke. Sheep shearing season is now on in Allen county. Several "Iambs" were shorn at Iola, however, earlier in the spring by circus fakirs. Maggie Black who was arrested at Fort Scott for stealing a few towels might use them to wipe away the stain on her family escutcheon. An Atchison cat has adopted a young rat and is raising it along with her four infants. When those kittens get their eyes open to the situation won't the fur fly. The Salina railroad man who stole a bottle- of whisky from a freight car evi dently heard afterwards of the fate of the four express messengers. The goods was found in his room untouched. Several bolts of lightning hit around the town site of McPherson on the opening evening of the G. A. K. en- j campment. Farmer Smith seems to j have gotten in the path of one of them, i An Iola amateur band thoughtlessly published their programme. The open ing number was "Blaze Away" and later at the park gate every small boy was searched for stale eggs and faulty potatoes. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Job was patient, it is true, but they didn't have telephones in those days. There is no denying that a girl who has had a lot of lovers, looks passed around. Is it a fool trick to pay ten dollars for a hat? That's what a fairly good Pana ma costs. You will find that a man who can't enthuse over a good circus, doesn't en thuse over anything. Usually, when a couple of women talk tgoether. you may hear one say, "Oh, she thinks sr e is so smart'." When a farmer gets a needed rain, he has double good luck: he can spend the day loafing in the house. After people pass fort v. they find that if they want to be kind, a way opens up in taking care of some one's baby. If a row threatens you. don't let it go so far that you become bitter, and are willing to hurt yourself in order to hurt your enemy. No matter how much parents do for their children, the young folks have some friends who pity them because their parents are stingy. An Atchison "story" has lasted five years, and is as juicy as ever.1 When everything else fails, people go back to it, and .find new picking. Russia is the greatest blot on modern civilization; but Russia has a big army, and people are very forgiving in the presence of a big army. The trouble is, seven out of ten men haven't any sense. And the other three are compelled to watch themselves very closely to avoid foolishness. A girl will visit in Atchison this sum mer who comes from such a long dis tance that she will have a traveling dress on purpose to wear, and will have a held glass strapped to her back. When women wear them, they are majamas. but they are cut just like pa's. Owing to the fact that there are no bad fires in the night in Atchison, these majamas are never on public view. QUAKES .REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Some men have a large following of creditors. A girl can't even blush unless she has considerable cheek. A honeymoon generally lasts as long as the money holds out. Even the fat man doesn't rejoice when his hair r:rows thin. When a ret's verses come back to him he meets with reverses. Theie are fellows who would rather get married than go to work for a liv ing. In suite of all the talk about race suicide, Cupid never strikes for shorter ho urc. The man who paddles his own canoe often does it because he can't get any body else to do it for him. A woman can generally be depended upon to make a fool of a man. but sometimes he saves her the trouble. Wigwag "My wife is the dearest woman in the world." Skinflyni "Humph! Mine's the cheapest." The one thing that every man is anx ious to share with the rest of the world is the good opinion he has of himself. Scribbler "What are you going to call your new play?" Scrawler "The Kleptomaniac' Scribbler "That ought to take." Now conversation, in a way. Depends on how the people weigh it; The less some people have to say, The more persistently they say it. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Happiness is a ray of sunshine be tween two clouds. A pretty girl is apt to be her own standard of beauty. The less wit a man has the more oth ers may appreciate it. If you are unable to find an oppor tunity go to work and make one. Some women can keep a secret easier than they can keep money. Any act by which a man makes one enemy is in the end a losing game. Some people are so ill-tempered that they are annoyed when forced to smile. When two women talk the subject of their conversation is conspicuously ab sent. Fortune awaits a poker playing palm ist who can accurately read his oppo nent's hand. Frofessors of physical culture lack the nerve needed to recommend the wood saw and washboard. All waves are more or less dangerous and the waves of a pretty girl's hand kerchief are usually more. Look at a picture in the best possible light, and be as courteous to your fel low man as you are to a picture. About the most helpless thing on earth is an automobile seven miles from a country store with its gasoline tank run dry. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Alimony drives many a man to hap piness. Most women love praise because they hate to see truth go astray. Contentment is often a big asset in the fortunes of a new widow. It's not half as bad to be a father as to be a father twice on the same day. When you take the skin off advertised virtue a deodorizer is not a bad thing to have with you. Prisoner Died of Fright. Chicago. May 22. I. Sims was ar rested last night charged with the mur der of Joseph Dabney, colored, and died of fright on the way to the county jail hospital. Dabney was found dead May 18 at the foot of the stairs leading to bis room. His neck had been broken. After an investigation detectives ar rested Sims last night charged with killing Dabney. He was taken to n police station, questioned and locked up. An hour later he was found on the floor of his cell, trembling and groan ing as though in great fear. He was taken to the county jail hospital at once, but died before the ambulance reached the iail. Rockefeller's Park on Fire. Piattsburg. N. Y., May 22. In re sponse to an appeal from William Rockefeller's representative at Loon Lake for help in fighting forest fires, a fire engine and several hundred feet ot hose have been sent from here to Rockefeller's park near Loon Lake. An enormous quantity of valuable timber and pulp wood is cut and piled along the railroad tracks which run through Rockefeller's preseri'e, and with the help of the fire engine it is hoped to save some of it. An anneal for help has also been sent to Malone. Topeka Sunday. to Kansas City, $1.23, next City Ticket Office. tnion Railroad, 525 Ks.nsaa avenue.

P. ANSWERS Oo Matter of Kebalesto Certain Elevators. Washington, May 22. The Union Pa cific railroad today filed with the inter state commerce commission its answer to the order of the commission institut ing an investigation of the alleged re bates of the Union Pacific to elevators. The Union Pacific admits that it has an agreement with the Midlanu Ele vator company at Kansas City and the Omaha Elevator company at Council Bluffs, both companies being represen tatives of Peavey Co., under the terms of which agreements the Union Pacific pays 1 cents per luO pounds tor receiving, transfer and handling all grain which passes through these ele vators. The Union Pacific says those eleva tors are absolutely necessary to the economical and profitable har.ling of its grain business and that instead o builoing and operating the elevators it arranged with the representatives of the Peavey concern to construct and op erate them and furnish the nccessary facilities for handling all grain ship ped over and consigned to the Union Pacific line?. The road- denies that the sllowance so paid is excessive or greater tlian similar charges generally imposed for like services nor that it subjected other grain shippers to unjust discrimination nor that it dis criminates in favor of the I'eavey com pany, nor enables the latter to obtain transportation of their gram at net rates or charges less than he regular tariffs. The road says the inter commerce law is not being violated and aks that the proceedings be dismissed. CASSATT CONFIK51S IT. Says There Is Market for All Unsold New Stock. Philadelphia, May 22.

The club has a large mem bership this year, and the courts are in splendid shape for the season. Arrangements have been made for a new "stand" for the transfer wagons and drays. Instead of Sixth street, the wagons will be bunched at Fifth and Quincy, where there are a number of vacant lots. The transfer men objected to going down on Fourth between Kan sas avenue and Jackson for the reason that it was too much out of the way. Scarlet fever cases and measles are becoming so plentiful that the city physician needs more sanitary police men to help put up the cards. He doesn't want to ask for them for fear people will accidentally discover that there is an epidemic in the city, and so the sanitary policemen now employed are working overtime to keep up with, the rush.

That a man may start in life and by close attention to duty raise himself from an humble to an exalted position is again demonstrated by William Hamilton, President Roosevelt's private barhnr. "I knew Hamilton when he was a boy Pt Plymouth, O., and he learned the barbering business under me," said James O. Graham, proprietor of the barber shoD in the Markham hotel block, yesterday. "Even that long ago he was a caretul workman and, what is more, he was a silent man, not givea much to talking. "Did he give promise then of reaching such a iiosition as he now- has?" was asked. "Yes. he did." replied Mr. Graham. "Those who knew Hamilton knew thai he would never be content to remain in the quiet Ohio town. Everybody knew that he would get out and do something for himself. He was in no hurry, however. He wanted to become a complete master of his trade before he went out into the world to carve a name for himself on the temple of fame, as it were. "Hamilton went to Toledo, I believe, and then to Cleveland, and from there I know little about his movements until I heard only the other day that he was the titivate barber to the president of the United States." Mr. Graham called on Mr. Hamiltos and the latter expressed himself as very glad to see him. However, Presiden? Roosevelt was not in the car, and there fore Mr. Graham was not introduced to the president. Mr. Hamilton is a quiet man and does not seem at all "uppish" because of his position. After he left Cleveland he went to New York and there Mt Roosevelt, then police commissioner of New York, met him. Mr. Roosevelt was so well pleased with the work of the tonsorial artist that he became a regular patron of that particular man. When Mr. Roosevelt was appointed as sistant secretary of war Hamilton went to Washington, but the services of th barber were dispensed with during the Cuban campaign. Mr. Roosevelt wn too busy at that time for a barher When the war ended and Mr. Roose velt became jrovernor of New York, Hamilton removed to Albanv and re sumed his old position as Mr. Roose velt's barber, and he followed Mr. Rcsevelt to Washington when the lat ter became vice president. and he has since continued in the position. "Hamilton is a fine hair cutter an an easy shaver." was Mr. Graham"), tribute to President Roosevelt's private barber. Denver Post. ELEPHANT KILLED HIM. Horrible Fate of a Circus. Em ploye at Atchison. Atchison, Kas., May 22. William Geary, an employe of the Wild West show which exhibited here Thursday afternoon, was fatally injured bv an elephant. Geary was trying to make the animal carry too heavy a load, when the angered beast threw Geary to the ground and crushed him with its trunk. .MAKKIAGE OF DIVORCED. Healthy Sentiment Growing on Both Sides of the Ocean. Very striking evidence that the public conscience is being quickened and en lightened is to be seen in the fact that newspapers on both sides of the water have concentrated the attention of the world on the marriage of a divorcsd person in London by a clergyman of the English church. The wide circula tion and evident approval given by the press to the bishop of London's address to his diocesan conference, on what he calls a "moral scandal," makes the evi dence more significant. We would not minimize the imminence and subtlety of the danger to the sanctity of the fam ily and to the security of social purity involved in the tendency in many di rections to treat lightly the marriage bond. At the same time, we have no sympathy with those who feel that the world is going backward and that the church is losing her power because she has so influenced the world that it is holding her to an ever higher standard. We have clergymen, even-bishops, who advocate in the name of our Lord and of the church the right of divorced per sons under certain conditions to marry again, but the number of these is grow ing less year after year under the stress of social progress and social need, and, as we believe, under the guiding power of the Holy Spirit. The standard of the social conscience has grown by leaps and bounds within our own generation. Christians of every name are becoming so profoundly awak ened to the dangers of divorce that they are arousing the world to a conscious ness of its fatal effects. It is no uncommon thing to hear men of the world, as well as loyal church men, speak with deep regret and a REASONABLE PRICES Men's Lace Hose, 10c 2 sense of humiliation of cases in which dignitaries of the church, in historic parish churches, lend themselves in a way that implies sanction of the mar riage of divorced persons as vcell as per sons of most questionable character. It is one thing to allow to every man and woman the rites of the church to which they are entitled, it is quite another for a bishop and a historic parish church to aid in giving distinction to people whose lives would call for unobstrusive functions. It is one thing to claim rights as citizens of the state; it is quite an other to demand the positive approba tion and blessing of the church for a practice which at bst is founded upon a doubtful interpretation of the Scrip tures and which the experience of hu man society is more and more demon strating to be inimical to its highest in terests. For these reason the position taken by the Archbishop of Canterbury and by the Bishop of London is a splendid note from the English church, and the re sponse here in America is no less in spiring. In behalf of the Christian fam ily and under the guidance of Him who founded it, we may well look up and move forward. The Churchman. GET BACK AT GERMANY. A More to Exclude Her Wines on Account of Adulterations. Washington, May 22. The state de partment is co-operating with the agri cultural and treasury departments to carry out the terms of the anti-adulteration clause of the agricultural ap propriation act passed by the last con gress and it will not be surprising if the results are of exceeding importance and in view something akin to retalia tion on part of European countries. Tiie test case, the foundation for which has been laid in the agricultural and treas ury departments will be based vpon importations of edulterated German Rhine wines. Th state department has received from the agricultural de partment a request for a copy of the proceedings of the case of one of the largest wine makers in Niersteln, who has been tried in Germany for adul tering wine. A great deal of this wine comes to America and the agricultural and treasury departments wish to se cure the legal evidence upon which it may be excluded. The state department therefore ikis trarsmltted to the United Stales consul at Mavence a request for a copy of the i-c-erds. It has been alleged by the champions of the anti-aduletration act that the Ger man law does not prevent indiscriminate and wholesale adulteration of foods and wines provided they are not to be con sumed in (Jormany and verv careful in quiry is to be made into the proof of this statement, though it must be said that the officials here place little credence in it. If. however, it should be well founded, based upon the consul's report, considerable ad ditions will be male to the list of forbid den imports. MORE STORM DETAILS. Damage Around Salina Ford County Serious. and Kansas City. May 22. Reports today indicate that the cyclone of last night was the most destructive ever known in this part of the country for several years. The storm formed near the Mc Pherson county line and passed over a territory of several miles along thi Smoky Hill river, cutting a path forty feet in width. It followed the river the entire distance and all the building damaged were near the stream. Following the tornado a terrific rain storm set in, and all the creeks in the country are filled to overflowing. Assa ria seems to have been the storm cen ter. Here a lo-year-old boy was killed. Theodore Bolton was also badly in jured, anrl two of the smaller children. The wind across the river at Salisbury did much damage also. STORM AT FORD CITY. Hutchinson, May 22. The storm at Ford City traveled east across the country. A school teacher. Mr. Tuttle, was killed at the home of Dan Gleason. S. E. Houseman was carried some dis tance and thrown against a stone wall. He was dead when picked up. The house of Victor Carson was totally de molished. The people in the house, who had been watching the approach of the storm, ran before it struck, and es caped by lying in a ditch with their head just above water. The storm was most spectacular. Near Wright all the buildings were blown away. Irate Citizen Can t your department do something to stop thesje burglaries and hold-ups?

Kansas City Muddle Is Up for Settlement. CKADDOCK HAS OFFICE Will Hold Until Court Decrees Otherwise. Parents Get a Suspicious Letter from St. Louis. Kmporia, Kan.. May 22. G. M. Chaffin has received a letter from his daughter, who so strangely disappeared from here two wee ks ago with Cora Scott and was supposed to have run away with the Sells circus. The letter was written from St. Louis. The girl says they ware just starting for New York city, were well provided for and contented. She requested that the parents should not worry about their daughter's welfare and happiness. Mr. and Mrs. Caffin do not believe the letter is in the handwrit ing of their daughter and think it is intended to mislead them. A story is told now to the effect tha.t the two girls were seen once or twice j with a young doctor who was here i about two weeks ago and that he dis- j appeared about the time the girls did. The people who tell this believe that the doctor had something to do with their running away and that the girls are still in Kansas City.

Kas.. mayoralty case. There is delegation of no inconsiderable size or Kansas- City lawyers and politicians here to either dip into the case or lister-, to it. This is the quo warranto suit brought by T. B. Oilbert, Republican candidate for mayor in the spring municipal elec tion, who defeated W. H. Craddock Craddock is holding on to the office O;. the technicality that the new city char ter act does not provide for the election of a mayor in Kansas City. It was omitted from the bill by mistake. Gil bert brought quo warranto proceedings in the supreme court to oust Craddock, and it Is this action the court is hear ing today. A special sitting was held in order to secure an early decision. Gilbert is represented by Nathar. Cree, Silas Porter, J. W. Dana and Johr-. Hale. Mayor Craddock is represented by former Chief Justice Doster, C. P. Hutchings and Thomas Pollock. Citizens in Kansas City, Kas., are anxious for a speedy settlement of the case. Since the muddle began, early in April, practically no business has bee: done in te city so far as public im provements are concerned. Many con tracts which were ready for completion at that time, have been necessarily hole: up because of a lack of power on the part of the city to enforce them. It is believed, however, that a final decision may- be reached before June 1. The principal feature of the case is the allegation by Mr. Craddock that the new charter law under which Mr. Gil bert was elected failed to provide for euch election, although this feature was placed in the background of the an swer to Gilbert's petition. There ar two other questions in the answer. The first set forth in the allegation is thst Mr. Gilbert has never taken the oath or office or filed a bond, and the second that lie was at the time of his eleetioN to the office of mayor, and is now. i member of the city council. Then fol lows the allegation that the election law was incomDlete. Mr. Gilbert's attorneys say the fact that he did not resign was wholly the fault of Mayor Craddock and the coun cil, who refused to accept his resigna tion when he presented a resolution asking permission to resign. They claim also that the fact that he failed to qualify and present his bond for ap proval was due to the actions of the mayor and council, who, as a canvass ing board.refused to issue his certificate of election. Gilbert was never officially declared the elected candidate. The votes were counted under protest, and the number each candidate received was placed on the journal without asserting who was elected. Mrs. K. W. Cunningham, wife of Jus tice Cunningham of the supreme court, has inherited $5,000 left her by her half sister, Mrs. Augusta Ioi-rin of Cleve land, Ohio.

Examinations of teachers for certifi cates to teach manual training under the new manual training law, will be held in Manhattan, Emporia, Topeka, Lawrence, Pittsburg and Kansas City, Kan., on August 24 and 2a, under thn direction of the jitate board of educa tion. Two grades of certificates will be is sued, both in manual training and in domestic science. The lowest grade of each certificate will be good for pne year.
