Beports by them are expected this ev ening. Disappointment in some of the per sons who were expected to fill places on the protn-ainme of the bankers' asso ciation meeting has caused some little changes in the order of business. Also the far t that, not quite enough time was allowed in the calculations of the pro pram me committee in making things "run over" a little. This afternoon's session will be a crowded one, with lit tle time foi new business and not enough for things called for in the bills. The report of the committee on the education of bank clerks was taken up at this afternoon's session, having been left over from this morning, by necessi ty. The report will be mail" by John K. Mulvane and is expected to give room for some discussion. The report of the committee on cattle paper ex change by J. M. Harvey of Conway Springs will be another important mat ter l, ft over from the morning pro giamme. Congressman W. A. Calderhead has been unable to reach Topeka for the patherinsr and the association is there fore deprived of hearinu Mr. Calder head's supposedly original ideas on the subject of "Currency," in which con siderable interest has been expressed. Neither has Major Calvin Hood of Em poria who was to have spoken of his "Reminiscences ot Kansas Banking' arrived. He may be here yet. Special Inspector K. P. Moxey, of the treasury department. will speak this afternoon or this eveniner. The ladies attending the gratherins: of the association, excepting: a few actual ly en?ae;ed in the bankinar business thems' Ives, are being' entertained by the wives of Topeka banking- men. A ride over the city of Topeka to see what sights there are. has been prom ised for today. Cnless rain spoils the excursion it will be in progress during the latter part of this afternoon. There are thirty-five or forty women here who will attend the banquet at Security hall this evening. The total attendance has reached about three hundred. FINANCIERS WHO ARE HERE. Among the visitors at the Kansas as sociation's meeting from outside the state is J. d. Stean, cashier of the City National bank of Kansas City, Mo.. j w hich was organized in f ehruary. istDi. and is already well known to all the I banks in Kansas. Mr. Stean is a pleas iant man personally and is doing lots lot" Eood for his own bank amongthedel- Lee-.ates to this convention. The City j National has made a rapid but steady grow th under the most modern met.h ods of banking, of which Mr. Stean has i tin absolute control. He is regarded as one of the most successful men in Kan isas City banking business, and the in 1 tluenee of his institution is becoming j more widely felt every month through- out this territory. A very interesting man. interesting I heeause'of the success he has achieved, in a short time in the business of bank- ing, is C. O. Austin, vice president of the i National Bank of North America, C'ni i en so. Mr. Austin began with the office I of state bank examiner of Missouri. From that oftioe he went into the Me l ohanies' Nation ll bank of St. Louis and in a remarkably short time doubled the bank's business. After wielding a recognized influence as a practical bank I er in St. Louis, he resigned his, position to become vice president of the bank with which be is now connected. It was i organized in June. 1fl02. less t'nan a year ago. with Isaac N. Ferry a? Its execu tive officer. The bank is capitalized at two millions of dollars, it carries a sur plus of $:,t'tl.i"i0 and deposits of J12.OO0.OOO. I This is an immense sum of money and j places the bank in the foremost rank of American banking institutions. AnothT bank which bats a wide influ ence in the banking affairs of Kansas is the National Bank of Commerce of St. Louis. This is tne rourtn dhus in the Tutted states, and the first outside of New- York city, in the point of capi tal, surplus and profits, which amount to over fifteen millions of dollars. Last Night's Session. Governor Bailey (ttidn't deliver the ad dress of welcome to the bankers at their opening session last night. He got Judge J. S. West to sub" for him. Judge West explained that the governor j had to choose between the bankers and some sweet girl graduates, all dressed i in white with pink ribbons and all those I accompaniments, and after due delibera j tion he had chosen the sweet girl grad I nates and had cone dow n to Aitamont i to taik to them, inasmuch as he had j promised to do so before he had been i placed on the programme of the Bank I ers' association. Representative hall was well filled with the vfsitir.e- bankers last night the Pierpont Morgan crowd of Kansas. t The headquarters of the association is 1 at. the Copoland. and the Copeland lob- bies are crowded. It isn't the usual Copeland county crowd, however. For j one thing, most of the visitors look as I though ihey paid their fare to Topeka instead of coming on passes. Then I there isn't the usual amount of arm pumping and hot air blow ing which is j customary with the ordinary Copeland county aggregation. You don't see one j man pull another off in the corner and expectorate in his car, which is the I usual Copeland county programme. These remarks are just thrown in to j explain that the Fierpunt Morgan crowd (which gathered in rf presentative hall i iast nic-iit was an unusual sort of ag- grecation. There were some in the 'crowd uitri also visit Copeland county in a political capacity occasionally, but they are not talking politics on this j trip. Alter th" preliminary exercises msi nteht Judce West made a very happy address of wel om. which was respond ed to by J. It. Adams of El Dorado, commonly known in the last three ses sions of the legislature as Adams of Butler. Mr Adams admitted that he w-rtuld far rather have gone to see the sweet girl graduates with the governor than attend the bankers' meeting. He said afterwards that he did not make the speech he intended. "Fart is," he exolained, "I enected tfct Bailey would make that address of (Continued on Page Six.) BACKJfJJBAiiO. Eight Thousand People Greet the President at Pocatello. People Gather in from Fifty Miles Around Butte To See the President of the United States. UNION LABOR'S GUEST He Speaks to a Crowd of Twenty Thousand People. Spanish War Veterans Act as a Guard of Honor. Pocatello, Idaho, May 2S. President Roosevelt re-entered Idaho this morn ing and received a warm welcome here. His train was met several miles out of town by a band of Indians from the Blackfoot reservation, who raced along side of it into Pocatello. Eight thousand people were at the station to greet the president, who was met by a committee of citizens headed, by Governor Morrison, Mayor Steeley, National Committeeman D. W. Stal- rood. State Committeeman Frank Good ing and United States Senator Heyburn. The members of the party took carriages and escorted by a guard of honor from Kimball lodge, Brotherhod of Locomo tive Firemen, of which order Pr"p.iueiit Roosevelt is an honorary member, the G. A. R., the Philippine veterans and a squad of cavalrymen, were conducted to the high school building, where from a pavilion erected for the purpose the president delivered a 30-minute speech. At 9 o'clock the president's train left for 3oise. Butte. Mont, May 2S. As the guest of the labor and trades assembly ot Silver Bow county President Roosevelt last night addressed twenty thousand people at the Columbia ga.raen. Frank A. Boyle, president of tne Silver Bow labor and trades assembly. Introduced, the president. President Roosevelt arrived in Butte over the Great Northern trom Helena. He was met at the depot by Mayor Mullins, escorted by a company o militia, a platoon of rolice. and the Spanish war veterp.tes, who are holding their state convention in Butte. United States Senator W. A. Clark of Montana was one of the first to greet the president. Mr. Roosevelt then en tered a cartiage in which the senator. Mayor Muiiiris and a secret service man were aeatii. The d'ive through the streets ot Butte war, one long ovation. Such crowd has never been seen in the his tory of tiie city. The neighboring towns for fifty miles had poured in their thou sands, and the line of march, was crowded to suffocation. From the ileiiot the president was driven to the court house. Veterans ot the .civil tvar and the Spanish-American war, militia and police formed the escort. Carriages containing a hundred distinguished citizens brought up the rear. The Spanish war veterans wore the guard of honor. At the court house 2.000 school children, appropriately dressed in the national colors, saluted the president. He stopped a few min utes and spoke kindly words to the lit tle ones. Two sauares further tlowft Granite street the citizens of Anaconda who had come over 1.500 strong, pre. sented the president with a handsome vase made of silver, copper and sap phire. The line of march was then started to the Finley hotel, where the presi dent made a five minute speech. A banquet at which 100 plates were laid was given at the Thornton hotel. Mayor Mullins presided and the guests In cluded Senator Clark and other dis tinguished Montanans. From the banquet table the president was driven to the Columbia garden, where the principal speech of the da was made. Here he was presented witn a handsome souvenir in the shape of his photograph, engraved on copper and framed in a copper frame, in the name of the citizens of Butte. President Roosevelt said: "Mr. Chair man, and you. my fellow citizens. It would have been a great pleasure to have come to Butte in any event, but it is a double pleasure to come here at the invitation of the representatives of the wage workers of Butte. I do not say merely working men, because I hold that every good American who does no work and does his duty must be working man. (Applause.) There ar many different kinds of work to do. but so long- as the work is honorable, is necessary, and is well done, the mati who does it well is entitled to the re spect of his fellows. It is a great pleas ure to come here to see this marvelous city which has grown to a degree web nigh unparalleled, and which I do not see how it can be equalled in the futur "Ours is a government of liberty through and under the law. No man is above it and no man is below it. The crime of cunning, the crime of greed and the crime of violence are all equally crimes and against them all alike the law must set its face. (Applause.) This is not and never shall be a government of plutocrats or the mob. it is. as it has been and as it will be. a govern ment of the people including alike the people of great wealth, of moderate wealth, the people who employ others, the people who are employed, the wage worktr, the lawyer, the mechanic, the barker, the farmer, including them all, protecting each and every one if he acts decently and squarely and dis criminating against any one of them, no matter from what class he comes if he does not act squarely and fairly, if he does not obey the law. While alt people are foolish if they violate or rebp( against the law, wicked as well as fool ish, but all foolish, yet the most foolish man in this republic is the man of wealth who complains because the law is administered with impartial justice against or for him. (Cheers and ap plause.) His folly is greater than the folly of any other man who so com plains, for he lives and moves and has his being because the law does in fact protect him and his property. We have the right to ask every decent American citizen to rally to the support of the law if it is ever hroken against the interest of the rich and we have the same right to ask that rich man cheerfully and gladly acquiese in the enforcement against his seeming interest of the law if it is the law. Incidentally, whether he acquiesces or not the law will be en forced. Whoever he may be. great or small, at which ever end of the social scale he may be. whether his offense takes the shape of a crime, of greed and cunning, or whether it take the TOPEKA, KANSAS, MAY shape of physical violence, if It is an offense against the law it must be stop ped and if need be punished. "So much for the law, but back of the law stand the citizen, back of the law stands the man. No law that the wit of man can devise has ever made or ever will make a fool wise, a coward brave or a weakling strong. No law can ever by itself give prosperity, can ever make a community go forward. All that the law can do is to provide the chance for the average man to show his qualities to the best advantage. It can so far as human strength and wisdom avail, protect him from being wronged by others and see to it that he does not wrong- others, and it can shape the conditions so that he shall strive with the ends as much as possi ble in his favor. Rut as this has all been done, it yet remains that it is upon the man's own individual qualities that the question of his success or failure must ul timately depend. I ask that we see to it in our country that the line of division in the deeper matters of our citizenship be drawn, never between section and section, never between creed and creed: never, thrice never, between class and class. But that the line be drawn on the line of con duct, cutting through sections, cutting through creeds, cutttne through classes, the line that divides good citizervrhip from bad citizenship, the line that declares a man a good citizen only if, and always if, he acts in accordance with the immutable law of right which has been the same from the beginning of history to the pres ent moment and which the same will be until the record of time." As the president wad leaving the plat form a secret service man leading the way rnugjjly shoved a militia man out of the way. The president saw the act and call ing to that officer to desist, said: "Any man in the uniform of a United States sol dier is my friend. I want to shake hands with him.'' A hurried drive was made to the train. During the trip to his train immense bon fires flamed on every mountain point, il luminating the way. The president left for the south at 10 p. m. PUTS ON BRAKES. Grover Cleveland Advises Mod eration Toward ltussia. Reminds His Hearers That We Live in Glass House. New York, May 2S. There was a great "and representative gathering at Carnegie hall last night called to pro test against the massacre of Hebrews at Kischineff. The announcement that former President Cleveland would speak lent additional interest to the gathering. While May-or'Low was de livering the opening address, expressive of the hope that Russia would give more liberty to her Jewish subjects. Mr. Cleveland entered and was greeted with a tumult of cheers. Wm. H. Baldwin, jr., read letters and telegrams sympathizing with the object of the meeting from Lyman Abbott, John .F. Dillon, Carl Schurz, Senator Thomas C. Piatt and Wm. D. Howells. Mr. Baldwin also tread, the resolu tions which denounc'; the massacre, urged the claim of the Jews in Russia to just treatment and protection, and declared "That the people of the United States should exercise such influence wih the government of Russia as the ancient and unbroken friendship be tween the two nations may justify to stay the spirit of persecution, to re dress the injuries indicted on the Jews of Kischineff and to prevent the re currence of outbreaks such as have amazed the world." Mr. Cleveland said: "Every American humane sentiment has been shocked by the late attack on the Jews in Russia, an attack murder ous, atrocious and in every way revolt ing. As members of the family of man kind and as citizens oZ a free nation we are here to give voice to the feeling that should stir every true man and every American worthy of the name. There is something intensely horrible in the wholesale murder of unoffending, defenseless men. women and children, who have been tacitly if not expressly assured of safety under the protection of a professedly civilized government. "I know how -easily our indignation prompts us to the use of strong lang uage, and I know how naturally we are tempted to indulge in overdrawn state ment and extravagant demands on such occasions as this: and I am sure that in our characterization of the crimes we here contemplate and in ex pressing our detestation of the crim inals, we can not go too far. I desire to avoid sounding a discordant note: but yet I cannot refrain from the sug gestion that moral effect of our pro test and the usefulness of this demon stration will not be lessened if we re quire indubitable proof before we ac cuse the government of Russia with guiltv complicity in the crimes commit ted within her borders, and it seems to me we mav well consider the proper relationship' between nations before we demand too pronounced interference on the part of our own government. "I don't say the Russian government mav not. bv sins of omission or com mission, be justly deserving of our com demnation: but we should not be swa.t to assume this, when we remember that we ourselves have found it impossible to orevent mob violence and murderous assaults on Chinese in Wyoming and on Italians in Louisiana. I am distinctly- and unequivocally in favor of informing our government in unmis takable terms of our indignation and deen condemnation of the late outrage upon the Jews in Russia. But I hope that in obedience to the dictates of American conservatism and modera. tion which are not long obscured, we mav be even now just and fair, and that we wdl be content to forego per-ile-eircr and extreme demands on out government for violent action. Our public servants should hear us speak: but we oertainlv ought to be justified in trusting the care of our national ho-mr and duty in the nremises nd the enforcement of the humane instincts of our people so far as this may be within srovernm-ntal action to those charged with the resnonsibility of managing our oublic rfa'rs. "Tn the meantime let the people of the United States, gathered together in such assemblages as this in ej-ery part of the land, fearlessly speak to the oiviiizel world, protesting against every pretense of civilization that permits mediaeval persecut ion. against every bigoted creeo that forbids rclirrious toleration ami freedom of conscience, against all fals enlightenment that excuses hatred and crueltr toward any race of men, and against all spurious forms of rrovern mert protection that withhold from any human being the right to live in safety and toil in peace." President Schurman of Cornell. Rev. Robert S. MacArthur and Edward M. Shepard also spoke, and the resolutions were adoo'.ed. Weather Indications. Chicago. May 2S.

TOO MANY PLACARDS. Automobilists Wish One License Number Recognized in All States. New York. May 28. Autonrtohilisfs are beginning an agitation to prevent the ne cessity of giving their machines the ap pearance of hill boards that is. if they travel beyond the confines rf any one state. They will make the very reasona ble demand that there be a reciprocity be tween states whose laws require the tag ging of machines, so that, a number al lotted by one state be recognized in other states when displayed on the back of a vehicle. It has been pointed out that all the states contirtguous to New York now re quire the official numh'-ring of automohil.-.s and that consequently an automobile owner who ptirs away from his own threshold must necessarily carry a whole string of placards in the rear of his ma chine. Already it is becoming a common sight to see automobiles in the streets of the city with two or three different sets of ures dangling behind. THURSDAY EVENESTG.

There are three ways out of the pres ent difficulty for the policy holders. One is to dissolve, another is to reinsure and a third is to reorganize. A great ma jority of the policy holders would prefer the last method provided it could be ac complished with safety. It is believed possible that the Commercial club will find a way to preserve the Kansas Mu tual as a home institution.. It is a com pany of great value not only to Topeka, but to the state. Those who were present at the meet ing of the directors Wednesday after noon were John K. Frost, W. H. Davis, J. S. Warner. J. J. O'Rourk, E. B. 11. Remley, E. H. Crosby, C. B. Blakely and M. C. Holman. On motion of Mr. Holman, it was de cided to call the meeting of the club for Friday evening. No other definite action was taken, but considerable in formal discussion of possible methods of procedure took place. The plan of reorganization of the Kansas Mutual does not necessarily In volve the restoration to control of the old officers. It is likely that new di rectors Tind new officers will be chosem This is a detail which would have to be settled by the policy holders. John E. Moon, former secretary of the Kansas Mutual, today gave out an affi davit contradicting the statement made by Cyrus Leland and George Cole, trustees, concerning the surplus of the Kansas Mutual. The affidavit is as follows: John E. Moon, of lawful age, being first duly sworn, on his oath says: He has read the statement of Cyrus Leland, Jr., and Geo. E. Cole, trustees of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company, published in the State Jour nal of May 23, 1903. Affiant says that he did not state to Mr. Cole, In the in terview referred tr in said publication, or at any other time, that he had known for some time that the company had practically no surplus. He further states that he did not say to Mr. Cole that perhaps it would have been better if he had stated to the court that the company had no surplus. He further denies that he stated to Mr. Cole that he was in favor of staring to the court that the other officers and advisers of that he other officers and advisers of the company had opposed his making such a statement. Affiant further states that It is not true that over $200,000 belonging to cer tain, policy holders has been misappro priated by the officers of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company, and he denies that any other sum has been misappropriated. Affiant further states that there is a portion of the surplus of the company to the credit of certain policy holders, as shown by carefully kept memoran dum accounts, but there is no provision in the contracts of such policy holders for the distribution of their funds until the end of the accumulation period as provided by their policies. The surplus does not become a liability until dis tribution has been ordered by the board or where the accumulation period has arrived for such distribution. The surplus of the company stated by the officers thereof in their annual statement, December 31, 1902. based upon the actuaries' table of mortality and 4 per cent interest, is absolutely cor rect. All of which is true, to the best of mv knowledge and belief. "(Seal.) JNO. E. MOON. Subscribed and sworn to before me, this 27th day of May, A. D. 19i"3. GEO. B. MANNING,, Notary Public (Commission expires September 13, lJtys.) TROUBLEVJITH TRACKS Santa Fe Uses Cut-off Because of Soft Roadbed. Statements given out at the Santa Fe general offices this morning indicate that the road is having some trouble with soft track between here and Kan sas City. The river is fast rising and it is said that it is at present as high as it was at any time last year. It was rumored that another washout at Lake View had occurred but this was denied. Eastbound Santa Fe train No. 3 was sent in to Kansas City over the Otta wa cutoff this morning on account of soft trac k on this part of the road. The situation is serious and if the river con tinues to rise many washouts will, no doubt be reported tomorrow. Officials do not think that the trouble at Lake View last year will be repeated this year, as the track and ballast at that point is in much better shape this year than it was at that time.

TWO CENTS. BIG 400 IS GDI Building Which Figured in Col lins Case a Wreck. Its Walls Collapsed at Early Hour Today. FIVE PEOPLE BURIED. They Are All Rescued and Not Badly Hurt. Walls Weakened by Vibrations of Gasoline Engine. The building at 106 North Kansas av enue, famous as the "Big 400," where the Collins murder is supposed to havo been planned, is a thing of the -past. Over half of the building collapsed this morning at 4:45 with a crash, and was totally demolished. The walls did not fall outward, but fell in heap. The lower part of the building has been occupied for several years, or since the "Big 400" was broken up. by the ponce, by J. M. Hartman's feed store. The second story was partitioned off into ten rooms, which Hartman rented for a small sum, and which were all oc cupied. Five of these renter, all Swedes, were caught in the fall, but no fatalities resulted. The destruction of the rear 40 feet of the taulltJing was bo complete that one viewing the debris would marvel that even a rat could es cape being crushed to death, yet tonly one of the five who were caught In the fall was injured severely enough to be taken to the hospital. He was M. O. Charlesburg, who is frequently in Jail for being drunk. He was taken to Christ hospital, and Dr. Eastman aaid that he seemed not to be injured, aside from a severe Jolting up. The others who were caught in the fall were J. Larson, A. Johnson, L. Anderson and S. Johnson. Another man named Jackson, had left the building about two minutes before the crash. His room was totally demolish. A few scratches and siigiit bruises compose the list of injuries. Johnson, who is an old man, was ac companied by his dog, a woolly spaniel, which dug out of the debris in ehort order and was waiting for his master who followed shortly. Two horses belonging to Hartman, which were stabled in the basement of the building joining the "400" on the north, were imprisoned by the stone ami wreckage which fell into the rear cei larway, but were not injured and were later removed by tearing up the side walk In front. About 25 feet of the front of the building is still standing, but in danger of falling at any time. Tbe. building was flimsy in construction, and poorly braced, and it is thought that a gasoline engine for running a corn shel ler which was located in the rear of the Hartman store weakened the .vails by its vibration. FMB AT THE JAIL Offending Yates Center Negro Secretly Taken to Wichita. Wichita, Kas May 28. J. M. Woods, the negro arrested at Yates Center on the charge of assaulting a white wo man, is now in the Wichita jail. A mob of 300 men with a huge clank approached the door of the jail at Yates Center last night, and the sheriff and county attorney and other county offi cers laced it with drawn revolvers. threatening to shoot if the mob camu any nearer. The mob thought they meant it, and it would retire only to make another approach. This was kept up until 1 o clock this morning, when the officers slipped their Drisoner out and into a carriage and drove seventeen miles to another railroad and brought their man to Wichita, The sheriff of Woodson county tried to reach Governor Bailey by telephone at his residence late last night, but the governor had left for Aitamont to at tend a high school commencement. H. J. Bone, his secretary was also absent, on his way home from Wichita. It i3 supposed that the sheriff desired to make arrangements for calling out the militia in case the negro prisoner could not be gotten away from the mob. Balie Waggener's new anti-lynching law will go into effect next Tuesday upon the publication of the statute book. A lynching after that time will be a serious affair, and participants one will" be punishable the same as for murder in the first degree, and even those who stand and look on without interfering will be subject to a term in the penitentiary. A sheriff who allows a prisoner to be taken from him by a mob also forfeits his office. If he can afterward make a showing that he did everything possi ble to save the victim the governor may reinstate him, but the provisions of tha law are very strict on that subject. The provision of the new law relative to calling out the militia makes it the positive duty of the sheriff to notify the governor if he thinks he may be unable to protect the prisoner. This was pro bably what the sheriff of Woodson county was trying to do last night. The provision reads as follows: "If at any time any sheriff has reason to believe, and does believe, that a pris oner in his custody is in danger of BeTn lynched, and that he with his deputies and assistants, as above provided for, are not able to protect the life of such prisoner without additional help, it shall be -his duty to at once, by telegraph or otherwise, notify the governor of such facts, and to ask for the aid of the militia of the state to protect such prisoner." Inasmuch as the attempted lynching at Yates Center was not successful this new law would not have applied evn had it been in force, so far as punish ing the participants in the mob is con cerned, for there is no provision in it for punishing those who merely at tempt mob violence and are not success ful.

The Army and Navy Register, a semi-official journal of the two services, says editorially: "There are persistent rumors that Mr. Moody intends to retire from President Roosevelt's cabinet at the end of the term, if not before, and coincident with this gossip comes the interesting state ment that Mr. Roosevelt has a notion to appoint Mr. Moody to the supreme court, or at least to make him a circuit court judge;. With this sort of talk, also, one gets the impression that Mr. Moody cherishes the hope of soon going out of the navy department, that some how he takes no interest in the affairs of the department, and would as soon be rid of the vexation and worry of ofiiee routine. "With the possibility, however remote, of Mr. Moody's withdrawal from the cabinet and the creation of a vacancy at the head of the navy department, there must necessarily be continued gossip attaching to the sucoessorship. A name which one hears in this con nection is that of Representative Liay ton of West Virginia, the most Indus trious and best informed of the mem bers of the house naval committee, who would make an admirable secretary of the navy. Another name is that of Senator Perkins of California, who Is a member of the senate committee, and who, although just re-elected to the senate, might be induced to take a place in the cabinet. "It is very well known by Mr. Moody's frit nds that he did not intend to go back to congress, and that he would be quite as well satisfied to be relieved of the exactions of any sort of official life unless, possibly, he were appointed to something permanent, such as a place on the supreme court bench. Although it was not commonly known, Mr. Moody could have gone on that bench instead of the new Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. It was a question with the president whether Mr. Holmes would be called to the cabinet or ap pointed to the supreme court vacancy as soon as one existed. "Mr. Moody believes that his law business is suffering by his absence from Massachusetts and has the fore sight to see that in congressional life he is likely to meet the fate of other suc cessful politicians of some day finding himself old in the service, at the mercy of an unsympathetic constituency." Wakeful Children. For a long time the 2-yenr-oln child of Mr. P. F. MePherson, 5 N'. Tentn St..

The Colt Breezed the Distance liecently in 2:14 1-2." Will Hare liermis and Uunflre as Rival Contestants. Lexington, Ky May 2S. J. B. Hag gin has set his heart on winning the Suburban handicap in lfi03 and he pur poses to accomplish the feat with the 4-year-old chestnut colt Ilenald, a Bon of Salvator, which mighty horse won this event for the California turfman in 1S90. This week the work of Renald, which colt is now quartered at the grounds of the Kentucky association track in care of Trainer John Stevens, has been personally supervised by his owner. Stevens has been going elo'w with the colt since he took him up early in the winter, but he is now rounding into racing form fast and Tuesday his trainer for the first time set him down to the Suburban distance, one mile and a quarter. To the sur prise of the horsemen present he sim ply breezed the route in 2:1414 and at that carried in the neighborhood of 130 pounds. He came out of his work sound, exhibiting no signs of the lame ness which put him bo early in retire ment last year. Haggin has booked Renald for an ear ly shipment east, so as to give him ev ery opportunity to be perfectly fitted for Coney Island's big race. He will most likely go into the stable of Green P. Morris upon his arrival in that sec tion. The son of Salvator is in the Suburban handicapped at 115 pounds. He is a grand looker, possessing re markable power, and is a very hand some colt, deserving the appellation of a picture horse as much as the sensa tional Water Color. Judging by his brilliant race In the Spendthrift stakes last season, coupled with the vast bodily improvement of the son of Salvator, this season, Hag gin seems to have a right to expect Jtenald to make a creditable showing even when pitted against the $to.0ao Hermis, the $25,000 Major Dangerfleld and the brilliant Gunfire. Renald's dam is imported Scotch Fir, by Scottish Chief, and is also the dam of Sir Hugh, a good 2-year-old winner in 1902. His second dam is Deodora, by Macaroni, winner of the Derby and Two Thousand Guineas. KID BROAD'S NEXT BOUT. Will Fight Aurelia Herrera on Miners' Day at Butte. The operation on Kid Broad's nose haa been postponed, as the Kid is too busy with ring matters just at present. Par son Uavies, the Kid's manager, outlines the future plans of Broad. He says: "New Orleans, May 23, 1903. "Dear Sir: Kid Broad and Young Mowatt (the Fighting Conductor) of Chicago are scheduled to box ten rounds here before the Southern Athletic club Friday night at 12 pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock. 'Freckles' O'Brien and Kid Gregsnn will also meet in a 10-round bout at 118 pounds, and there will also be a number of vaudeville features. "Owing to the fact that it would take six or eight weeks for the successful termination of the operation on the Kid's nose, he has decided to postpone it until later in the summer. "Will leave here Saturday for Butte, via Chicago. The Kid meets Aurelia Herrera before the Montana Athletic club in a 20-round contest at 128, weigh in at 3 o'clock, on June 13. This date is Miners' day in Butte, and all the mines close down for that day. W. S. Xolan, manager of the club, writes that we are assured of a big house, and he predicts the receipts to be about $15,000. "With kind regards, I remain, yours sincerely, CHAS. K. HA VIES." BRITT BOUND TO BE CHAMPION Coast Fighter Figuring on Landing Lightweight Title Some Way. San Francisco, May 2S. Al Herford, manager of Joe Gans, champion light weight pugilist, is here. He came to consult with Manager Coffroth of the Yosemite club in regard to the selection of a referee for the Gans-Fitzgerald fight. When nuestioned regarding the chances of a battle between Jimmy Britt j and the negro at the lightweight limit of 133 pounds, he replied that there was no prospect of such a bout taking place. "Gans cannot make such weight, and as, Britt refuses to concede anything we shall have to call off all negotiations," he said. "Then you will default to Britt?" was asked. Herford declined to make a direct answer, but stated that after the fight with Fitzgerald on Friday he and the colored youth would start for England. Should Pitzgerald fail to beat Gans Britt will challenge him and his friends claim he will become champion through Gans' refusal to meet him. Racing at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, May 2S. The racing at Latonia was not of the exeiti.ig order, as all the winners won in easy fashion. Only two favorites succeeded in getting first past the post. Jockey Bonner rode three winners. The track was fast, but just after the horses finished in the last race a terrific storm came up. Racing at Chicago. Chicago. May 2S.

Chicago, May 28. With Tuesday's games the first western trip of the east ern division of the American league was completed. In the main the western clubs have .profited by the invasion of the easterners, though the White Stock-ine-s have fallen down, Cleveland and Detroit were the most successful against that portion of the circuit, hav ing won nine and lost four of the entire, series with the four clubs, St. J-ouis won seven and lost six, giving the Browns the long end of the series. Comiskey's men, though at the top or the list, have barely maintained th?ir position, and with the four eastern clubs won four and lost seven games. A few more games are to be plaved. chiefly between the western clubs in the west and the eastern section in the east. A week from Wednesday the entire western division, however, will start east, and on Thursday, June 4, the first trip of the westerners through the east will begin. As the home series of the White Stockings is practically at an end the figures showing how the teams stand in batting and fielding may be of some interest. Manager Callahan has proved his right to be leader of the South siders by holding first place wdth the stick. Dunkle has not played much, and that accounts for his high average. Dan Green is the closest to his man ager, though none of them is able tj get above the .400 mark like him. Cal lahan leads with the remarkably high average of .461. Green holds third at .33. and then follow Wrhite, .31S. ana Jones, .303. as the only other members of the club who are above the coveted .300 mark. Daly is nearly down to thw .200 mark and Tannehill and Hallman are below it. Flaherty brings up th rear with the enormous percentage or .04. Bob Woods in Lead. Toledo, O., May 28. There have been a number of shifts in the position of heavy batsmen in the American associ ation during the past week. Bob Wood', the Milwaukee catcher, leads all the stick artists in the league by 20 points, having a batting average of .466 to his credit in. 22 games played.

That means, of course, if his kidneys aren't doing their duty. Many a man has lost his position be cause of hi3 inability to endure the tor tures of backache, and to keep up with his work at the same time. OOAN'S PILLS make lame, weak backs well help men to do better and make them better, more competent men. They're doing it right here in Topeka. There's no need for a man to suffer with backache, or lame back, or any of the results of kidney trouble not while Doan's Kidney Pills are so easily ob tained, and so sure to bring renewed health and strength. Topelia Proof. Mr. Joseph Voytek, Cabinet Maker, of 213 West Sixth street, says: "I had kidney trouble for four or five years, comimr on me gradually and causing me a great deal of suffering. Later on a severe attack of the grip left my kidneys in a much weaker state, and in the morning my back hurt me so acutely that I could hardly get out of bed, and felt tired and unrefreshed.

Queen's Decision May Spoil Social Success at the Opera in London. London, May 28. High-neck dresses at the opera, which, it is said, the queen is anxious to introduce, are causing no end of heated talk. The habitues of op era declare if such a custom should become general there would be an end of any social success at the opera, and it will relapse into the dull, middle class affair it was before. The present syndicate, with Lord and Lady e Grey and Harry Higgins, took up the matter and made it what it is now. The "'smart" world has already looked 'upon the opera as the one place where a display of toilettes and jewels not only Is expected, but is necessary. If the ordinary high-neck black dress es come in it will be impossible to wear tiaras or much jewelry, and the whole effect wdll be dowdy in the ex treme. Lady Normanton and Lady Huntington were both wearing high dresses at the opera last week, but this may have been because they were at tending ring performances and did not care to put on low-cut dresses for both the afternoon and evening performance.

Stephen Vowoski, who is 5 years of age, sat on the stringpiece of Innis Slip with a companion of about his own age. They were fishing. Suddenly there was a splash and Stephen, having lost his bal ance, was in the river. His friend tar ried not, but ran with all haste to the house of Mrs. Vowoski to whom he an nounced the drowning of the child. The mother ran screaming to the slip and soon a crowd was at work, some diving, some using grappling hooks. After awhile the mother returned home. As she entered she heard a noise. In Stephen's room, hiding under the bed, she found her young hopeful, dripping wet. He had crawled out after his companion ran away and crept into the house by the back way just as nis mother went out of the front door to spread the alarm. Word was sent to the grapplers that the boy had been found safe and well at home, and a laugh went around ihe. crowd at the expense of the grapplers, as they gathered up their tools and went away.

Wnen our tracks are completed to P.iverside we wili begin building the gap between t'aargett, on the main line of the Santa Fe near F.arstotv, and Caiientes, the present southern terminus of the road, which I have bought from the Oregon Short Line. We will build this piece of track from both ends, and it will be hurried along with reasonable dispatch. We have about 4.000 tons of rails at Iasgett to be put into this piece of road and S.000 tons more are soon to be de livered, "Eventually vre will built-through the Cajon pass, and we will have a better and easier mad than the Santa Fe now has. We will be 50 feet lower than the ?ar.ta Fe, but to save this climb in volves the building of 1.200 feet of tun nel. I can only say in conclusion that when our road is finished it will be the finest piece of track in the world. I do not confine the comparison to roads west of the Missouri river, but take in the whole roads. We are puttina: down very heavy steel, and all of our bridges will be of concrete. Steel bridges have a life not to exceed 25 years. Concrete will last forever. The San Pedro, Los An geles and Salt Lake will be an entirely independent line. I have purchased the entire Oresron Short Line system south of Salt Lake City. It is an absolute rurcha.se. and He. Harriman retains absolutely no interest in the property, i He is not even a director.

The purchase of stock of the Illinois Central road by employes of the com pany, under the plan arranged by the company a fT years ago. continues to be popular. The books of the company show that a.079 shares of stock have been purchased. They were bought prior to the increase of stock. It is a -.veil known fact that many of the eta- ployes buy and sell shares of stock t the open market as others do, but no account of such nurchasea is taken ta the number of shares given as now standing in their name on the books of the company. It would apoear to be a fair presumption that the number of actual shareholders among- the em ployes of the ooBioaiij is considerably larger than that registered on the booita. ONLT ONE LINE LEFT. Santa Fe the Only Koad Operating Out of Oklahoma, City. Guthrie. Ok.. May 2S. Oklahoma is slowly recoverinsj from the destruction by w-ind and flood of the last week. Last nieht railro-at traffic was still in bad shape. The Santa Fe main line is the only road operating out of Gklo homa City. The Rock Island has no di rect connection with the rest of the world at Oeary, Ok., or Anthony, Kan. Other trains runningr are off scheduie. Carmen sufferers are sending messages all over the territory asking relief. The larger towns have besrdn to respond and will continue to do so. Fair and warm weather prevailed generally today and the first cultivation of crops for several days began this morning. At present railway service in Okla homa is a difficult problem on account of recent high waters. it will be a week before the Rock Island will run trains over the main line into Texas, as the bridg-e over the Washita rive at Chickasha. I. T.. is stone. The Choctaw road lost 3.010 feet of traclt near El Reno, several hundred feet east and west of Oklahoma City, and on account of equipment being shut off the division between Oeary. Okla., and An thony, Kas.. is not being; operated. There wili be no trains over the Frisco southwest from Oklahoma City until the last of the week. One hundred yards of Frisco track between Chandle and Oklahoma City were also washed awav. The Santa Fe main line was not damaered, but on the Eastern Okla homa extension there was great dam. a.e-e. especially at Cushing-. where th Cimarron river bridge was lost. There will be no trains over that line this week. The Katy's roadbed in several places was washed away. Another rises in the Arkansas river is reported to day.

Smith, aithoogh pret ty well "along in years for a bail player, is still "there with the goods," and the boys think that he will be a great help to the team. Smith is an old timer. He was a member of the famous LMok Cooley team. Frank Mileham of the ticket aud itor's office is aiso- an old time bail player. They say that in years gone by Mileham played with one cf the leagues.

These impressions have been formed entirely from heresay. P.ailrcadirg is a hard life and therefore some people can not understand why a man will work at it. They nnallv- come to the conclusion that he is too low down to do anything else and fails back on rail roading as a last resort. This is not true.

Two years ago a g-ame was played with the shop team which was at that time playing: under the name of the "Santa Fe Reds."

According to reports in the interior department cupid has designs on an Indian school in Okla homa. The children of the Rocky moun tain school. miles from Anadarko. ap parently spend t'ocr time m the exchange of languishing glances and in billing and cooing when they should be learning to read and write. Charles V. Oiekson. a supervisor of In dian education, in a report to the seeretary of the interior, tells of conditions at thc schoci. The pupils number bsr boys and 48 girls ail children of the Kiowa band. Originally, he says, the Kiowas were not oniv indifferent to educational advantages, but" hostile to them. Of late their feeimg fagainst tne school has oeen overcome ana now many of tnem compel tneir cnuureti to attend. The supervisor deplores the fnot that few of the bovs and g'.ris can be kept in soho.il after thev are 14 or 15 years old. as nearly all of them get married. He says during the last vacation the school lost from 2o to pupils in this way. They are subject to no narentai restraint whatever, which Mr. Dickson thinks is a matter of much regret, as many of them are bright and promising. The difficulties of the teach ers in dealing with the Kiowas are in creased bv the fact that their incomes from their lands, which were recently sold, is far in excess of their needs and they are inclined to be indolent. There Is a brass band at the school composed of 40 Indian bovs. The leader is a woman, the prinoioal. Mrs. Cora CKmn.

I California Senator Is Being Boomed by Western B-epublicans. Washington, May 28. The vice presi dential boom of Senator Thomas P.ob ert Bard of California is now well de fined. He has many friends in the west who will push his claims for second place on the Republican ticket. Mr. Bard is the junior senator from the Golden state. He was born in Cham bersburg, Pa.. December S. 1841. His ancestors, who were among the earliest settlers in that part of the Cumberland valley ia which Chambers burg is situated, were Scotch-Irish. Mr. Bard received a common school education and graduated at the Chani bersbursr Academy in 1858. Before com pleting his study of law, he engaged in railroading in Hagerstown, Maryland, but he had a yearning for the Pacific coast and in IS64 he located in Cali fornia, and has since resided in Ventura county, in that state, where he has engaged in wharving, warehousing, banking, petroleum, mining, sheep graz ing and dealing in real estate and from all these various industries he has ac cumulated abundant wealth and won for himself a high position socially and politically, Mr. Bard had the honor in the presi dential election of 1592 of being the only successful Republican elector for Cali fornia. He took the oath of office as United States senator on March 11)00. His term of office will expire on March 3, 1005.

CRIME GROWS IN SCOTLAND Pignrea for the Year Show Shame ot the Country's Population. Edinburgh, May 2S. Scotland's unenvia ble reputation for crime and criminals has been farther increased by the annual re port of the prison commission, which sums the reason in brief in the statement that j aeotiana stiu is very near tne top ot a wave of disorder and criminality." With the exception cf the record year cf 11, there were more cases of imprison ment last year than in any former year. The total for 1:2 stands at j,i'21, which Is less than that of 1301 by 1.018, but mucrt higher than that of any year previous tt 1TO1.

Scotland, l.tSii; Ireland, Tlic-; i Engiand. 615. The report attributes what it calls this "unenviable distinction" of Scotland, first, to the larger number of minor offenses prosecuted in that country-, and second, to the fact that in Scotland 50 per cent of those fined do not pay. and are imprisoned.

It i reported that Millionaire Herbert E. Mills, a convict for a year in the Cook county jail. Chicago, for illegal use of the mails, has spent 12.000 dur ing his incarceration in making; the prison loss forbidding in aspect, giving "lifts" to men released and alleviating the want of fellow convicts' families. Over the barren prison interior was thrown a magic spell of beauty and Comfort. Convicts who were skilled painters were out to work at Mills' ex pense decorating the walls and ceiling;!! Of the corridors in bright colors, the bare chapel was transformed into a cushioned, curtained oratory, the reere fition room was provided with a piano, the lone corridors became Moral alley Kvays. The brightness and cheerfulness cf it all was reflected in the faces of the convicts. Men leaving the jail, with the prison Ptain upon their names and its gloom In their hearts, were given letters by Mills to his friends in business, and in nearly every instance immediate cm-ploynff-nt was secured. Toward the last, inns' mail had grown heavy with let ters from ex-convicts whom he had lieipcd to an honest life. When the public generally comes to recognize the uselessness of punish ment as a deterrent from crime, orob nbly the state will do what Mills has done. Society, except in rare instances, is satisfied with protection from a repe tition of the evil doer's offense. This can be secured by shutting him up. The Idea of punishment should be discour aged as far as may be. in the interest of possible reform. GEN. WHEELER'S CLOTHES. General Joseph 'Wheeler was not in the Confederate parade at New Orleans during the recent reunion. After the parade it was thought he might have been in a closed carriage and possibly overlooked by the multitude of behold ers. Inquiry as to General Wheeler's sudden departure for Washington and New Yor k revealed the fact that no pro vision was made for him to occupy a place in the parade. No carriage was ordered to call at the hotel for him, and it is said that the venerable soldier felt fo mortified that he locked himself up in his room and positively refused to see any one or give out any statement whatsoever concerning the apparent fieglet t in making provisions for him to occupy a place in the pageant. He is said to have been keenly affect d and left for New York vc-ry much hurt over the treatment. General J. A. ininkins. director general, who had charge of the carriages, said when asked about the oversight, that he was under the impression that General Wheeler vas in the parade, although he admitted that he forgot to send a carriage for Mm. Probably the real reason for the man agement's forgetf ulness lay in the fact that General Wheeler appeared at the reunion in the general's uniform which he wore during the Spanish-American war. ."His idea was to nhow that sec tionalism was a thiag of the past when a former Confederate general could wear the uniform of the United States finny, Some of the state newspapers are taking seriously the candidacy of "Mix Kill" Devery for mayor of Greater New Y'ork. The fact that Tammany Hail was burdened with trie weight of Dov cry and Deveryism in the last mu nicipal campaign in New York did most to brir.g about Tammany's defeat. And row I very is proposing himself as a candidate for the mayoralty, and shrewd political observers in Nov,' York nre not sure that his candidacy is a flagrant absurdity. By cutting loose from Tammany Hall. Devery seems to have rid himself of the stigma that X'Ut upon Tammany Hall. Everybody seems to have forgotten that IDevery was the head and front of the police coiruotion that was the issue of the last campaign, and a great body of voters admire him just as the commo.-i folk dwelling about Sherwood forest ad mired Robin Hood in his day. In their view be is a bold and merry out!a,v who r-bs the rich to give to the poo?. If he sticks to his announced intention of running for mayor he will get lots of votes. FJeoted or defeated, he is likely to be an imoortant factor in th' political situation. With Devery as its mayor New York would be "wide open" Indeed, and there are hosts of NVw Yorkers who want New Y'ork that way. If that Indiana woman had refused to make up the bed in which any other negro than Booker T. Washington had Flept, probably no attention would have been naid to the matter. The Washington Post expects the democratic national convention to de clare against large families on the theory that it is connected with the ad ministration's policy. Ohio and Pennsylvania have fallen Into line for Roosevelt, and that settles it. Let's talk about the vice presidency. THE KANSAS MUTUAL. Next Monday afternoon the policy holders of the Kansas Mutual Life In surance company will meet to deter mine upon one of three methods of pro cedure covering the affairs of the com pany and the protection of the holders of policies. These three plans are liquidation, re insurance and reorganization. Liquidation means a long drawn out and probably expensive realization upon and distribution of the assets of the association. This plan has apparently the least to commend it and few favor it. Reinsurance must be in one of three companies. The Illinois Life of Chicago, The National Life "U. S. A. of Chicago and the Kansas City Life of Kansas City. Mo. These are the only companies which have made propositions to rein sure. Of course, before any agreement to accept any bid there should be a thorough expert investigation of the soundness and desirability of the com pany favored. Any transfer of policies to a company which would not bear the searchlight would be disastrous and only put the policy holders in another predicament such as the present one. A considerable number are understood to favor reinsurance. The third and only remaining plan is reorganization. This, if it can be made upon lines of conservatism, con fidence and economy, presents the most inviting features. It is declared that this action would best insure the pres ervation of the reserve funds for the purposes set aside. In the first place a reorganization would mean the retaining of the com. puny as a Kansas institution. This is a. sentiment which has a firm hold upon many of the policy holders, but which would be unworthy of consider ation unless attended by strong busl. ness reasons. These exist. It is said by insurance people and men who have examined the comoanv's condition that the Kansas Mutual has a most excellent body of policy holders in Kansas. It is also known that the mortuary record of the company is well within ttie table. It is emphatically asserted that if the company were re. organized solely with a view to takin; care of the outstanding policies that every existing obligation could be met and every policy holder protected. The great expense attending a life in surance organization is the securing of new business. In the entire history of insurance it is said that no company has ever been wrecked by excessive mortality, but only by extravagant or unworthy management. A number of instances are on record where an insur ance company has found itself in a bad condition, been reorganized with the sole view of taking care of its old business, and has recovered itself and been listed among the strongest institutions of its kind. If the Kansas Mutual were reorgan ized it should, of course, be with the primary object of continuing the insur ance outstanding and with this in mind the expenses of management could be reduced to a minimum and be merely nominal. It is the experience of com panies thus reorganised that within a few years confidence is restored and new business naturally follows. In this connection the statement that George H. Cole of the present trustees wishes to be president of such a com pany is denied. At least. MY. Cole said: "I am not hunting such a job." It is a somewhat remarkable fact that during the trusteeship an unusual ly large number of premiums have been paid and that strange as it may ap-pt.-ir there have been no more lapses tha.n during corresponding periods when the company was transacting its business in a regular way. This goes to show that there is a strong under feeling of confidence that the policy holders of this company in some way are going to realize upon their invest ments. It also indicates that the trus tees have been active in their collec tions and that the charge of "ama teurs" is offset by their quick grasp of insurance affairs; that they have tirrned their successful experience in practical business to good and sudden accountings. Whatever criticism may be made of the old officers, they seem to have gathered together over five thousand of the best risks extant and a list of which any company would be proud, it has also developed that the real estate se curities of the company have been ju diciously placed.

Captain Sterry an swered the letter, and werrt home and that nisrht he died.

I should dearly love to be in liansas in the fairest month of all the vear, but it is some what doubtful if I can. I had an at tack of the grippe in December, which left me in March in pretty bad shap, and since early in March I have been struggling with bad digestion and bad heart. I have had two severe set backs, but am now, I think, doing finely, and hope, by my experience in the past, to be able to prevent any further setbacks and to recover per manently from my troubles. I am about to take a six months' leave of absence, to devote myself entirely to getting well, and if the doctor thinks that my hear t will permit me to travel over th; altitudes between here and Kansas, I shall most certainly make a short visit to Kansas the first of next month.

The Craze for Racing Automobiles. Kvrning Wisconsin: The racing automobile is running its race very rapidly. The list of killed and wound ed is growing faster than the speed record and the dangerous sport bids fair to run out of material for slaughter, for not ev erybody can gratify a desire to own a rac ing machine, because of the cost, and con sequently it is possible that the casual ties incident to racing will soon decimate the young and old millionaires who have the racing fever in their blood. The cas ualties during the first stage of the Parts Madrid automobile race seem to indicate that the chauffeurs were determined to win or die. as some of them are already d--ad and their employes scattered along the roads. The scene must have been ter rirying to the natives, who were denied the traditional privilege of shinning up trees to escape clanger: for some of tire boltmg vehicles dashed into trees and knocked them into pipe stems while their occupants, flew like missiles from cata pults and the vehicles were sown broad cast over the areas as large as golf links. The event was tragically ridiculous and those who have survived must see the ful ly of their ways that is, if thev have col lected their wits sufficiently to think at ail. There is something abotrt an automobile that tempts men to fly, although they must know that the flying machine is yet to be discovered. The manipulation of the sliced levers is so easy. and the whizzing through space so delightful for the enthu siastic automobilist. that the attendant reckb ssness has warranted legal restric tions at the demand of drivers fin country roads.

PLACES FO It YOUNG MEN. Proposition to Employ Them Is Hold ing Down Filipinos. Washington, May 28. The war de partment is giving serious consideration to a proposition that has come through Colonel Kd wards, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, from Gen. Henry T. Allen, chief of the Philippine constab ulary, looking to the improvement of that service. General Allen believes that a tine career offers in the constab ulary for graduates of the American soheiols who have any special aptitude tor military work. He believes that la or 20 such young men annually could be placed in the constabulary as ofi'K ers to advantage of the service and those selee-ted. While at first the m appointed would not be as valuable as the highest graeie of non-commissioned cthVers who already have had service in the Philippines, General Allen feels that in the long run they would be superior to the class of men who are now entering the service. The pay and emoluments are to be in creased. At present the pay runs from SSOij to $500 for a third lieutenant to $1,200 to $1,600 for a captain, besides thtr allowances are ample for house rent and there are no hospital expenses. Owing to the number of stations the percentage of officers In the constabu lary is large. The duties are much more responsible and varied than those of corresponding positions in the regular service. Heretofore the department has pursued the plan of allowing the Phil ippine government to select all its con stabulary officers, preference being giv en tei discharged soldiers, who have pick ed up a know ledge of Spanish and Tag log anrl have become acquainted with the country through their military ser vice. It is not intended to depart from this policy to any considerable d' gree. but It is probable that General Aden's suggestions will be adopted as a means of elevating the personnel of the consta bulary. A ORAfID HAG! Eighteen Horses Face the Flau at Gravesend. Fast Lot of Animals Up Brooklyn Handicap. for GUNFIRE IS FAVORITE. Oom Paul, Yard Arm and Sambo Very Fast. Injunction and Hlues Also Hare Many Friends. Purse Is Worth 17,000 With 12,000 to the Winner. New- York, May 2S. An overcast sky, with occasional showers during the ear ly part of the day, caused many sighs of discontent among the thousands of lovers of the race horse who had for weeks Icoked forward to this, Brooklyn handicap day. While the weather w-as threatening, however, the sun came out at intervals to lend hope to those who were anxious that perfect conditions should prevail for the classic event of the Gravesend meeting. The early showers weer hardly sufficient to make the track a heavy one, In fact they did more good than harm, laying the dust and cooling the atmosphere. Eighteen horses were scheduled to start, among them a number that have won laurels during the present and past seasons. William C. Whitney's Gunfire, as a re sult of her victory in the Metropolitan in the fastest time on record, was the favorite with the general public, while K. R. Thomes was conceded to have a very good chance of capturing the prize with Y'ard Arm. Foxhall Keene was also a bidder with Injunction and others which carried considerable money were Frank Farrell's Blues, L. V. Bell's Cotton Bell and W. D. Lopez s Articulate. The entries, probable riders and time of trials follow: Blues, Hoar up. will carry 123 pounds, six less than on Tuesday, when he was beaten two and a half lengths by In junction at one and one-eighth miles m 1-04 3-5. Colonel Bill, with Rice up. 121 pounds on his back, has meed poorly. Francesco, 113, is making his first start of the sea-son. He has done well in preparation. Old Herbert, 1 IS. Odom to pilot him, will undoubtedly be a factor at some point in the race. Bonnibert. 115. McCue up, turned one and a quarter miles in 2:10 in his trial yesterday. Articulate, 114. might have been equal favorite with Gunfire but for his poor race with Oom Paul and Zoroaster. His defeat of Old England in the match race raised great hopes for him in the big handicap. Larson will ride him and he may be "the wirner. His trial was in 2:09,' the mile in 1:42 3-5. Heno, 113, will-be guleled by J. Mar tin. He was w;o'rke,d privately in 2:08 3-j on Tuesday. Igniter, 11.2. Haack in the saddlp. if the hope of A. Fea therstone, who won the Metropolitan and Brooklyn last vear with Arsenal and Reina. Mr. Featherstone says Igniter's chances are second to none. He said that of Arsenal last year, but few paid attention te the prophecy'. Igniter gave Oom Paul seven pounds and a sound beating last year when both were at their best. Igniter's trial was one and one-half miles ir Royal. 111. O'Nell up. is regarded at outclassed at the distance. Gurflre. 111. will be the iueen of the day before the race at least, and many horsemen regard her victory as as sured. Her tremendous speed in the Metropolitan, the gameness with which she broke, the courage of her challenge?, and her easy win nt the end, stamped her a natural favorite. She is the only representative of her sex in the race. Irish I-ad, 103. showed an unsatisfae. tory performance in his trial, 2:14, for the tfi-e-r.nee. Oom Paul. 117. will have the service of Bullman. rider of many stake win ners. He is the horse Gunfire must beat, according to all accounts. Tn his trial Monday he turrred the handicap. distance in 2:0S with such ease that. I trainers said he could have done It in 2:0fi. In a recent race he merely playe'l with Blues at Blues' own game of kill ing off competitors in an early sprint and at the end galloped home after his rigid test over Morris park's trving bill. Yardarm, 9fi. the entry of K. rt. Thomas, latest of the millionaire tu'-f men, will have many friends. Connell will ride. Yardarm's trial was in 2:0 and in his last race he ran the With ers mile in 1:40. Sambo, 9a. G. W. Gilfell's entry, is tipped quietly all over New York. He performed fairly well at St. Louis last year and may repeat Alcedo's victorious and unexpected triumph for the west a few years ago. Coe-hran will ride. Sam bo's trials have not been public. Waswift. lo., Wonderly up. has done nothing in the past to make him a strong factor at this distance, though he made the record for seven and a half furlongs. 1:33, at Morris park recently. Himself, 95, Cramer up, will probably be 100 to 1 in the betting. Injunction, 90. Gannon in the saddle, will have many followers. He Is game and fast and has beaten most of the best horses shown this year. Hunter Raine, 93. J. Daly up, will represent the Shields stable. He has proven himself a most dangerous rival in any company with lightweight at a distance. Absent from the race will be Hermis and Advance Guard, the public idols of last year. Pentecost is missing, too, in spire of his fine race recently. The Brooklyn race was the fourth race on the programme. It was for 3-year-olds and upwards, sweepstakes of J100 each, with $10,000 added at a mile and a ouarter. This vear it Is worth 17,000, of which $12,000 goes to the win ner. Ir. Grubbs' Partner. Dr. K. t. Enorhs and Dr. Bradley have dissolved partnership and will move from Tola. Dr. Enochs will to Topeka. where h will erlr into partnership with Dr. Oruhha of that city for the practice of their profession.

It was stated this morning at the Santa Ke general offices that the body of the late I. S. Lauck will leave Chi cago Friday night for Topeka and will arrive here Saturday morning, accom panied by his son, Allan Lauck, and F. G. Hubbell, who both left for Chi cago Immediately on hearing of Mr. Lauek's death. Mrs. Lauck will return to Topeka with the body, as she Is now on her way to Chicago from Wash ington, where she was visiting relatives at the time of Mr. Lauek's death. It was learned today that W. J. Healy. freight auditor, and J. F. Mitchell, ticket auditor, who both left for the east with Mr. Lauck last week and who have since been attending the an nual meeting the Association of Ameri can Railway Accountants at Hot Springs, Va have left Virginia and are now on their way back to Topeka. They will probably arrive here Satur day. Dr. J. W. Lauck, the oldest son of I. S. Lauck, arrived in Topeka this morn ing from his home in El Reno. Tex He w ill not go on to Chicago, but wilt wait here for his brother to arrive from Chicago with his father's body. Particulars regarding the funeral have not jet been given out. The fu neral will probably be held on Sunday. VALUABLE BARNTbURNS. Prof. Klingenberg, Prof. Hyde aud Jligs Matoon Losers. A large barn, valued at about $1,200, formerly owned by the late E. H. Blake, was totally destroyed by fire this morn ing at 1601 Boswell avenue. The fire was incendiary, and was discovered by a paper carrier at about 4:20 o'clock. Stored in the barn was a great quan tity of valuable household goods and clothing. Mr. and Mrs. A. Klingenberg, who are to be at the head of the Wash burn music department, lost nearly all of their clothing and household goods. They were just moving into a portion of the E. H. Blake residence. Prof. Ar thur M. Hyde, of Washburn, also had a large quantity of household goods stored in the barn, and Miss Matoon, a friend of Mrs. Klingenberg, lost nearly all her personal effects. The large Blake residence had a very narrow escape. At one time it was on fire, and was saved by the efforts of neighbors, who threw on water from buckets. The fire department came to the rescue with chemicals in time to save the house. The house is located close to the barn. The property is now owned by Mrs. E. P. Kellam. Shortly after the death of her husband, Mrs. Blake sold all her household goods, and moved down town to live. The barn is outside of the city limits, and has no protection from fire, as it is in the "dry district." The loss on the barn is partially covered by insurance, but there is no Insurance on the cloth ing and household goods destroyed. The value of these was probably more than the value of the building. ABOVE DANGER LI HE. River at Kansas City Shows Re sult of Floods. Kansas City, Mo., May 28. The Mis souri river at this point rose three feet within the past 24 hours and the gov ernment gauge at noon today stood at 21.7 feet which is slightly above the danger line. The water has backed up through the sewers in the west bottoms in the wholesale district, flooding the basement of several business houses and driving occupants of shanties to higher ground. As heavy rains are re ported above here, a further rise is likely, which may result In serious damage. STILL FOR SOCIALISM. Radical Utterances at Convention of Western Miners. Denver. Col.. May 28. The annual report of President Charles O. Moyer to the con vention of the "Western Federation of Miners, now in sf ssion here, was made public this afternoon. President Mover recommends a renewal of the declaration of the convention last yar in favor of socialism and independent political con nection. Referring to the settlement of the anthracite miners' strike by arbitra tion, Mr. Mover si-id. "Can the leader of this assembly of men expect to hold his organization intact when he advises them to continue ;i policy which offers nothing for the future but strife aud destitution and commends the '"mdings of a board of arbitration eleatcd by the repre sentatives of capital which binds the chains of slavery more securely around his members and deprives them of e'en the privilege of appealing to their masters for a period of three years? John Mitchell nefd not be surprised should his member ship turn their faces to the w.jst, tc:ki:ig affiliation with organizations which have tent out their messages to the world, that, as labor produces wealth, such wealth be longs to the producer thereof." Mr. Mm-er urged the convention to spec ifv a date fr establishing a universal S hour day throughout its entire jurisdic- FIRST HOVE AT K. C. Threatened Strike of Freight Handlers Is Inaugurated. Kansas City, Mo.. May 2S. The first move in the threatening strike of freight handlers in Kansas City occurr ed today when 60 men employed at the Missouri Pacific freight depot quit work. The order for a general strike of the 700 warehouse men and freight handlers expected today did not ar rive and until it does come no united movement is looked for. However, the situation is growing more tense and the men eager to strike have been kept at work by their leaders with difficulty. Bailey Commutes Sentence. Gov. Bailey has commuted the sen tence of Melvin White, who is serving a sentence in the penitentiary for grand lar ceny. He was sent there from Wilson county. His term would have expired on August 16 and the governor commuted it to expire today. May 2S. S. S. Kirkpatrick. representative from Wilson county, acted for White in securing the pardon. He said that White's home is in Missouri and he has an invalid sister who is dependent up on him for support. Kirkpatrick staked his reputation upon White's good behavior in the future. Labor Troubles in Russia. Berlin, May 2S. The Tageblatt says it learns that serious labor troubles have broken out in the government of Woronesch, Russia. The paper adds that 10.000 strikers have assembled there threatening violence and the governor has asked for a large military force to disperse them. The strikers are circu lating many revolutionary handbills. Dr. Wm. Maclay Lyon, physician and surgeon. 733 Kansas avenue. Independ ent phone 531. GITY HAW RIGHT It Appears That Commissioners Control Melan Bridge. Prorision to That Effect in the Law. Even If it so desires, the city council is blocked from allowing the street rail way comrjanv to build its line across the Melan bridge. The Melan bridge is by law under the control of the county commissioners, and the commissioners have fully deter mined to commence an injunction suit if the city takes any steps toward let ting the railway company use the bridge. By taking this stand the commission ers reflect the sentiment of the people living outside of the city of Topeka, who are practically unanimous against any car tracks on the bridge. Most of the residents of Topeka share in this opposition. The provision of the law, passed in 1S95, which takes the control of the bridge out of the hands of the cit council is as follows: "Provided, That said bridge shall re main under the charge and control of the board of county commissioners of Shawnee county and such commission ers shall have power to appoint a super intendent for the construction of such bridge and fix his salary." This Is a claus of the enabling act giving the county authority to vote bonds for the bridge. It is stated that this provision was inserted in the law- at the time of its passage for the express purpose of mak ing it impossible for the street car com pany to cross the bridge. It was feared that if the bridge was placed in. charge of the city, the company would be able to go across whether the city was will ing or not It now- seems that the pro vision is going to accomplish exactly what it was intended to namely, keep the railway from crossing the bridge. WIDTH OF ROADWAY. The officials of the railway company have prepared a series of etchings to show the proposed plan of building pro jecting sidewalks on each side of the bridge. According to these drawings, a 6 foot walk can be built on each side of the bridge, and the car track built so as to leave a roadway for carriages really 31 feet wide, or 3 feet wider than it is now. Actual measurements made this morning show, however, that these figures are erroneous. They do not al low for the fact that at the present time the sidewalks project 2'z feet on each side of the bridge. The sidewalks as they now stand do not represent the actual width of the bridge, but the width "over all." The body of the bridge affords a founda tion 37 feet wide, suitable for heavy traf fic. If the foot right of way is subtracted for a car truck it would leave 2S feet feir traffic. This is exactly the present width of the carriage way. On each side of this 37 foot road the company would have to buiid a six foot overhanging sidewalk. The street car company figures that the body of the bridge is 40 feet wide, whrle as a matter of fact it is only 37 feet wide. The width "over all" is 42 feet, and 5 feet must be subtracted from thrs as an over hang of the sidew-alk coping. INJUNCTION SUIT. J. T. Clark Enjoins Issuance of Water Bonds. Garver Larimer, as attorneys for J. T. Clark, of Potwin, formerly presi dent of the Topeka Gas company, filed a suit today in the district court for at injunction to prevent the issuance ot the proposed waterworks bonds. This is the test suit which it was an-, nounced some days ago would be com. menced. It will be tried first in the district court and will then be apuealeJ to the suiireme court. The petition of Judge Clark is quite lengthy. It sets forth that the peti tioner now pays a large sum in taxes, and is opposed to having the taxes an further Increased. The first objection to the validity of the election is that not enough names were on the petition for the election. It is also claimed that the petition is am biguous and uncertain in its language. It is further claimed that under the laws actually in existence the city has no legal right to purchase the water plant. It then sets forth that the mayor's proclamation was not issued in the proper manner, and was contrary to law. The question of the right of women to vote is also raised, and it is alleged that all the ballots, both blank and marked, should be counted. In this case, it is contended that the bonds did not receive a majority vote. These are the principal grounds upon which it will be contended that the bonds are not properly voted. The plaintiff asks for a temporary injunc tion to restrain what he alleges to be the intent of the city to issue the bonds. T. F. Garver. one of the firm which brings the suit, acted as a representa tive of the Commercial club before the council to see that the canvass waft properly conducted, and to protect what some claim to be an illegal election. It is understood, however, that J. B. Lar imer is the one who is chiefly interested in the proceedings to test the election. FLOTOlols HERE. Has Grown Far Beyond the Old Fashioned Kind. The Otto Floto dog and pony show arrived in Topeka this morning frr a two days' engagement under tents at Ninth and Adams and Jefferson streets. There will be an exhibition tonight and two tomorrow, rain or shine. The Floto dog and pony show, from the parade, seems to have grown over other competitors for the show is not confined to dogs and Shetland ponies. There are three fine Arabian horses, several cages of monkeys, two bands, and a family of acrobats. Such shows used to consist of a troupe cf dos and a herd of ponies and the parades used to be given with the assistance of hacks hired from the livery barns. Dog shows have grown. The Floto show has its own wagons, railroad cars and every thing like a real big live circus. The parade was good. The dogs are plen tiful and would make a harvest for the dog tax man if they were loose. There were plenty of poni-s in the parade sad the monkeys, well, they were the real sort, fed on ginger and lively as crickets. But the piece de resistance of the parade was the water wagon and so many were riding on it that they nearly fell off from being so crowded. There wasn't room for more. The passengers on the water wagon were clowns. Despite their red noses tlicy had front seats. The Floto show has canine clowns, mon key clowns and human clowns, and they seem to be good, for in the parade a laree crowd of bovs were following- them, and bovs ate authorities on such things and j will not follow clowns unless they are i good ones. J MOM LEU IS ELECTED. Now Editor of the Washburn College Review. P'rank M. Mohler, 'third baseman on the Washburn college baseball team, and a son of the late Martin Mohler. has been elected to the ofiiee of editor-in-chief of the Washburn Review. The vote stood 101 for Mohler against 71 for Kritts. Mohler is a member of the W. C. L. S., the organization in con trol of the politics of the college. He is a popular man in school, and will be a member of next year's senior class. Miss Alattie Westenhaver was elected associate editress by a vote of S6 to f:9 for Miss Nyhart. Paul Coldren was elected to the position of local editor, by S3 to 72 for John Van De Mark. The contest for the offices was made prin cipally along political lines, the Gamm. Sigma society being the factor of opposition. WORK OF THE STORM. It Swept Almost Every Part of Indiana. Indianapolis, Ind., May 2S. Details of the work of the storm which swept al most every part of the state were re ceived today. At Alexandria the Penn sylvania American Plate Glass com pany, seven large steel stacks of which were wrecked and William C. Gray, a machinist helper was killed. A part of the Republic Steel mill roof also was lifted. The aggregate property loss is large. At Walton, Manford Stevenson was kill ed hy lightning and four men were severe ly injured. At Hammond th" wind wreck ed the home of Policeman Willram Bund and Bund was severely injured by failing timbers. Edward Brennan. a raUwav en gineer, died of the shock. Christopher Hodel and his son were struck bv lrght ning. The boy was killed and the father fatally injured. Heavy damage was done at Greensliurg, Frankfort, Thorntown, Decatur. Windfall, Camden and Geneva. Property loss m Howard county alone is estimated at $1,OUO. RIVER IS RISING. New High Water Mark at Salina and Manhattan. Reports received this afternoon by telephone state that the Smoky Hrll river is 26 feet above low water mark at Salina, and the Kansas is 22 feet above low water at Manhattan. At To peka the Kansas is about 17 feet above low water but this means that it will be higher at Topeka. LIKE NOAH'S TIME. Abilene Gets Downpour of Four Hours' Duration. Abilene, Kan., May 2S. A four hours tain, the heaviest downpour in years fell here this forenoon. Great damage has been done to all crops by the ex cessive rainfall of the past week and streams are again out of their banks. LOCAL MENTION. Mrs. Annie L. Diggs has an article in the June Cosmopolitan. R. B. Welch will be the Decoration day orator at Pleasanton. The Kaw seems to be determined to smash a few records itself. Marshall's band will give a concert at Garfield park tomorrow evening. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Snyder are visit ing Mr. Snyder's father, Colonel J. W. Snyder, in Wichita. Oscar Ringel, a. successful business man of North Topeka, has closed out his mercantile stock and will engage in the clothing business In Wichita. Marriage licenses have been granted by Probate Judge Hayden to E. L. Sherwood and Carrie Smith, and to Ben H. Hallock and Daisy D. Davis. There w ill be but one delivery of mail in the city on Saturday, Decoration day. The postoffice will be kept open until 10 o'clock. The rural carriers will make deliveries as usual. Governor Bailey has offered a reward of $200 for the apprehension of W. P. Dlckerson, the absconding cashier of the Toronto State bank, which was wrecked a few weeks ago. Charley Finch of the Lawrence Ga zette, is bound to have something to worrv about. Now he is afraid that when the floods subside a regular old fashioned drouth will set in. Soldier creek is very high, and whil! there is not much current in the stream, it would only have to go a foot or so higher to take out the flooring of a large number of bridges. Street Commissioner Snyder was obliged to barricade the "new" br'id" which was built a few months ago at Auburndale. The bridge was not prop erly constructed and had gone to pieces. The executive council decided not to let the state paper and stationery con tract Wednesday because of the ab sence of Attorney General Coleman arid State Auditor Wells. The bids will be opened on the afternoon of June 5. "Czar" Storrs' campaign of news sup pression is making him famous. He in receiving the ridicule of all the new! papers in the state. The Atchison Globe advises people to keep away from Topeka until Storrs and his epi demic are suppressed. The Kansas City Star also takes a shot at the czar. The river above the street car bridge is four or five inches higher than be low the Melan arch bridge. The f.-iil is within a space of fifty feet. If yoi get down close to the water on the up per side it is quite noticeable. The rea son is that the river is spread out more above the bridge and comes down from above faster than it can flow through the space alloted for it. A suit was filed In the United States circuit court today by Dr. Kdward W. Greenlee of Argentine. Kansas, against the Union Casualty Surety com pany for the sum of $:,000. Greenlee charges that he held an accident insur ance policy in that company and that being injured in a street car arauon in Kansas City he was refused any al lowance on the contract. The high water of the Kansas river has made the Sardou avenue bridge im passable, although the damage there is not bo serious as that wrought by the high water of a year ago. This time thr North Topeka approach Is under water. A driver for J. V Jones Son, second hand men, attempted to cross the bridge about 11 o clock this morn ing. The north approach was covered with water but he tried to drive through, when one of the wagon wheels went into a deep hole. The driver un hitched and came back to town thrcrugh Oakland. A year ago a span of the bridge was washed away. Chapped, smarting, windhurned. rough skin healed by Satin-Skia Cream. Best made. 25c. p.

With twenty-nine counties reporting thus far. a call fer 2ii.225 harvest hands lias come in to T. B. Gerow. lirector of the state free employment bureau. There are seven other counties which were in the million bushel column in Ht'l which have rot yet reported. Some of these will n- cd a considerable number of hrrvest hands, while ethers may not. There are also probably some counties which wiil this year be added to the million bushel list which will need a few outside hands The seven million bushel counties which have not reported are MePherson, King man. C-wley, Clay, Cloud. Marshall and Montgomery. In McPherson county the Hepsian fly is doing some damage and the farmers there are doubtless waiting to see to what extent the crop will be damaged befnie putting in a call for harvest hands. Cowley, Montgomery and Marshall may also lie able to care for their own crops, with what outside help will drift in, with out calling for it, but it would loon as though Kingman, Clay and Cloud ought to i need outside help. Then Jewell. Graham and Thomas, which have not been in trie mill inn bushel class, may also need out side he In. but they have not called for it. The li'rst harvest rate trim St. Louis. Chicago. Rloomington and Peoria, lib, will be in force on next Tuesday, the frst Tufsdnv in June, and again on June lfi. toe third Tuesdav in June. The rate will be fni fare plus two dollars, th.it is one-half rf the one wav fare, plus tic dollars. In order that the men who apply at tbee points fer this harvest rate may know to what points to go. Mr. Gerow is sending to the passenger agents in eMeh place a list of these needed at each point in the wheat belt, as far as reported to him. Decoration Day Excursion. Kansas City and return $1.25.

Is Over $206,700 More Than Last Year. THIS IS OUTSIDE CITY. Increase Is Larger, Howerer, In Topeka Township. Facts and Figures as Shown by the Assessors. The tax assessors in the eleven town ships in Shawnee county have reported to County Clerk Newman the valua tions on personal property for 1903. The valuation shows an increase on personal property alone of $206,705. Real estate has not been assessed this year, and the assessment of 1902, except where im provements have been made, stands. The total assessed valuation of per sonal property in 1902 was $854,715, and for 1303 $1,061,420. The following shows the valuations and increases: Value Value Township 1W3. Ir.e.

Hiver Is Doing Damage In the Lowlands. The Kan- river at noon today had reached the high water mark of last summer, having risen ten inches since noon yesterday. The top of the official water mark is a foot under the sur face, so the only way to estimate the raise is by marks on the piling or Melan bridge. Considerable drift wood came down during the night, and the city railway stopped running cars across the bridge after dark. The bridge is still intact, however, and cars are running regularly today on one track, while the other is occupied by e. car used in pulling the drift to piece. About 0 o'clock this forenoon a hug; log about 60 feet long was seen com ing with a speed that seemed irresist ible. When it got close to the bridge it was in a fair way to pass through endwise without fouling, but one end struck a pier, and it swung around with a force that jarred the structure from one end to the other. The log reached across two piers of the bridge, and was so large that the water running over it had a fall of ten inches or a foot. Other drift wood at once gathered be hind it. and a small dam was the re suit. The efforts of the car and clear ing crew to get it oft the bridge seemed almost hopeless, and they were stiil working on it this afternoon. A story was started on the street this morning that a house was floating down the river, and a large crowd of people gathered on the bridge and in the park to see it. Of course the house did not arrive as scheduled, because if there is such a house afloat it could get under neither the Valencia nob Rock Island bridges, which are both within a few feet of the water. Several business houses along thp river have been damaged by water coming into the basement. The vin egar works are flooded, the basement filled with water, and the houses in the vicinity cut off from dry land. Th cellar of the Central mills elevator is partly filled. The river towers of both sand dredges are washed down, but th cables are holding. The building occu pied by the International Harvester company has about a foot of water in the basement, and a large amount of binding twine had to be removed ami stored above ground. There was a general exodus in Littts Russia last night, several families mov ing after the water got too deep in the houses to be comfortable. Another raise is expected late this afternoon or tonight, as heavy rainn are reported at Palina last night anl this morning, and the government pre diction for Topeka is heavy rains to day. It will rot tke much of a ri.e over the nresent high water mark to put a part of North Toneka out of busi ness, and force th? river to cut across into Soldier creek north of town. A foot raise will flood a dozen blocks and drive out the residents. As the river rises, however, it takes more water to the inch in depth, on account of the in creased width of the stream, and it will take a lot of water to make a iis equal to that of the past 24 hours. i This Store's 1 Policy Is to f"s 1- H Satisfy or V,!'s" J u Your Money f?

A physician of Galion, O.. says: "For the last few years I have been a sufferer from indigestion and although I have used various remedies and prepared foods with some benefit it was not until I tried Grape-Nuts that I was com pletely cured. "As a food it is pleasant and agree able, very nutritious and is digested and assimilated with very little effort on the part of the digestive organs. As a nerve food and restorer it has no equal and as such is especially adapted to students and other brain workers. It contains the elements necessary for the building of nerve tissue and by so doing maintains an equilibrium of waste and repair. "It also enriches the blood by giving an increased number of red blood cor puscles and in this way strengthens all the organs, providing a vital fluid made more nearly perfect. I take great pleas ure in recommending its use to my pa tients for I value It as a food and know it will benefit all who use it." Name furnished by Postum Co.,.

Long Would Not Trade Places With. Carnegie. Rockland, Mass., May 28. "I am glad I am not a rich man. I would not ex change my freedom, home life and con tent -nf heart for the wealth of a Mor gan or a Carnegie," said John D. Long, ex-secretary of the navy, at the Rock land Commercial club banquet, at which he was the guest of honor, in speaking of socialism, Mr. Long said there has lecn respect for th" lights of property in the past and there always would be. If the reward is taken away there will be no incentive to work. "Our mothers and grandmothers worked like slaves," he continued, "but the life of the people of today is ren de'ied much easier by the accumulation of wealth. We live better and hare more advantages than they had. "We are living in an age of socialism, as I understand socialism. far no theories", no fanatics and no millionaires, but I do believe in and trust in the Judgment of good every day peopie of this country to work out these prob lems. Wealth is nil right, but it is not to be considered for a moment with a (dear mind, good health and n dear conscience. The advances that are be ing made will work for the benefit of mankind."

The main feature of last night's pro gramme was the annual address of the president. J. T. Bradley, of Sedan. Congressman Oaldernead was to havr bt en present and deliver bis address on "Our Currency," but he could not reach Topeka last night on account of high water, and Major Calvin Hood, of Kmpnria, who was also on the pro gramme for last evening, had been calit d to Colorado. In bis address Pres ident Bradley said in Dart: "There has existed in the minds of :v large number of well-meaning but mis taken people a. prejudice against tht. banker. The necessity for his business is not denietl. That it is legitimate ana honorable is admitted. That it is in dispensable to trade and commerce is an accepted fact. That it promotes en., t'rpiise is true. Then why the preju dice? I am not sure that it is not the banker's fault that it exists. Are rot the reasors personal and social ratht- than business 7 i think if we couple to thtvse the prevailing opinion that bank ers are getting more than their share of trie nih tt'i iui tilings cu llie. ana Wlti; loss effort, we have the explanation. This belief causes envy resulting in prejudice. When we come to analyze it we fird that it is not the profits of his business that, causes the condition, Imt the us.'s made of them. This resolve it back into the social and personal phases of the question, which after ail furnishes the real explanation. The prejudice would not matter so much if it were not so often worked upon to g-in an advantage before the peopk, or defeat in legislative bodies really met itorious measures. "The simple slogan usd by the adroit politician and smooth demagogue, 'The bank-rs favor it.' or, 'That's a bankers' scheme. "What they are for it is safe for yon to be against. Why, you know what they t.-ant is not going to help you.' And this is often enough to set tle the matter.

Now, this condition Is un reasonable, unjust and discreditable. There is a work here for the bankers themselves to perform. A united ef fort should be made to remove this wrong and harmful feeling. "What the whole country needs is a permanent and stable financial and fiscal policy. We can have no stability of values.and hence no certainty of con tinuous business prosperity without. Outside of an abnormal abundance or scarcity of great staples there are no natural reasons why there should be wide and sudden fluctuations in prices. Artificial causes may prevail which through uncertainty of their results win cause nisturoanees. sometimes vio- lent and disastrous, but with a sound ana permanent financial system, a ju dicious and just, tariff system, a ration al and fair national corporation law, regulating corporations engaged in in terstate business, some tribunal for settling labor troubles, these will be re duced to a minimum. "I know there are obstacles in the way of attaining these results, as it is difficult without a permanent legisla tive body and executive to secure them at once; but through our law-making power, changeable though it may be, requiring years' of discussion and ex perience, when they ar? once establish ed they will be well established. The process is slow; it is an evolution, but the ultimate result will be the best. "Our financial system is gradually unfolding, and when perfected shall consist of gold as the standard of val ue and medium for settling final bal ances: silver for subsidiary and sup plemental money to the extent needed for chnnee and in minor transactions of trade: cfrtificates issued upon an actual deposit of real money dollar for dollar and an expansive bank cur rency, based upon tested securities, in suring its absolute safety, coupled with a ready plan of redemption by the is suing hank and in central agencies." President Bradlev advocated a tariff commission to study and adjust tariff conditions, a national 'eorporation law, and a tribunal to adjust differences be tween capital and labor.

A few of its principal provisions should be: Itequiring the capital stock to be actually paid in; preventing any increase of capital un less it should be actually paid in; pre venting an increase of capital stock on account of increase in value In either the franchise or the plant, unless such increase of value should be produced by an actual outlay of money, dollar for dollar, either out of the profits or by actual contribution; requiring state ments to be published giving to the pub lic full information as to capital, vol ume and character of business, and profits and expense in detail. No re striction on the amount of actual capital vvhich may be used. "The beneficial results to the monev market of this course must be apparent to all. It is not stocks and bonds of real value that cause financial disaster or furnish doubtful collaterals, but those based on fictitious values. The capa bility and integrity of the management of corporations, in connection with an existing necessity for their organization, should be the only requirement of solvency and success." In reviewing the banking history of Kansas during the past year President Bradlei' said: "The general conditions in the stat remain favorable. During the past year deposits have increased $12,677, 145.21; loans and discounts increased ?14.;58.964.17; cash and sight exchange. $8.724, SFi.81 the capital stock has in creased $2,554,600; and surplus. S775. 23X.40. Total deposits are now $90,1 IfC-6S-S.S6. equal to $ii0.S0 per capita. The number of banks has increased 57. The last legislature increased the minimum capital of state banks from $5,000 to $10,000. an amendment which should be heartily approved. Bank administra tion is becoming more and more effi cient, and the personnel of bank man agement more capable and intelligent. We have had no national hank failures) for over two years, and during the past year only two small state bank failures one caused by gross neglect, and tha other by downright dishonesty."

Mr. Moxey is the man whom the govern ment puts to work on the examination of the accounts of bankers who are sus pected of not being entirely straight, and if there is a defalcation he always finds it. no matter how skillfully it may be covered up. His address was on "The Individual Ledger." He urged more care on the part of banks in their ac counting departments, and said it was a mystery to him why banks never call ed in an expert examiner until after the bank had been robbed. He denounce! the "individual ledger" as the most dan gerous book in a bank, stating that his experience had taught him that it was the one most often used to cover up de falcations. He urged the use of better systems and more competent account ants in banks. STORM HITS TOLEDO. Three Men Injured and J)am ages Amounting to 100,000. Toledo. O., May 2S.

Proflitt and makine use of a business! card on which he announces himself as "representing Hon. John P. Long." has been busy in Topeka. The man is denounced as an imposter by Mr. I-ong. who would like very much to find some way of compelling him to desist. The man recently presented himself at Bennett It. Wheeler's oflice an 1 offered a book for sale. Mr. Whe'der was at one time a personal acquaint ance of Mr. Long, antl doubted very much the authenticity of the book agent's representations. After listen ing to the agent's story Mr. Wheeler wr-ote Mr. Long at Boston, and is no'.v in receipt of the following reply: "Dear Sir I have your letter and the card of a book agent who has printed on it 'representing Hon. John IX I.ong.' It is a wicked imposition, and I ant much troubled by it antl wish it could be stonrieil. The same thing was don" in California, probably by the sarr man, though I did not see the card ir the case. The Argonaut of San Fran cisco had an editorial on the matter, and stated that it did not believe knew anything about it. Seeing this editorial I wiote the editor, as I no.v writing you, that it is an imposition I hope you will have an item to that effect out in your Topeka papers. ""Yours truly. J. D. LONG."

Isaac has worked his scheme for years but was never before arrested. To fa cilitate the fake a confederate went ahead to the richest farmer, giving him to understand, under the seal of secrecy, that the story of Rudolph's death was a lie. invented for reasons of state. The ince was fdill alive, but his father, now being very old, could not be kept out of his inheiitance much longer. L earning this, the farmer usually offer ed "his imperial highness" gorgeous hospitality, being promised golden re ward in return, "when Rudolph suc ceeds to the throne." The comedy al ways wound up by the "issue of a loan." The pseudo prince took any thing" in the shape of money or valu aoies. Over e.eefi guldens were found on Isaac v. hen arrested, "all honest loans," he said. Busehow to Try. Senator Charles Kuschow of Colby will be a candidate for renomiuation to the si nate next year.

When they are it is generally due to bil iousness or indigestion. But women have headaches which seem peculiar to their sex, frequent nervous throbbing headaches. Does it not seem aa if such headaches peculiar to women must be at once related to womanly disease? Wom en who sulTer with diseases peculiar to the sex do not realize the drain of vital strength and nerve force they undergo as a consequence of disease.

Gilbert ot comic opera fame, whose witty lines and verses made millions laugh, had an experience this week quite the reverse of amusing. Mr. Gilbert, as one o his majesty's magistrates, sat at Edgware police court and disposed o a number of cases. As he was leaving the place j in an automobile, a man, whom he subsequently lecognized as a defendant i in the last case which came before him, I broke from the grasp of a woman and i threw himself face downward in frout of his machine. The automobile was pulled up within 3. foot of the would-be suicide, who, be ing raised, rushed toward the window board of the butcher's shop and en deavored to reach a knife. By this time a constable had grabbed him, but he freed himself and began butting his head against the eide of the house. He was finally overpowered and led away and no doubt as Composer Gilbert drove away he reflected upon the truth of his own dictum, that a policeman's life is not a happy one. APPEALS TO CI LL03I.

The team sters of St. Louis, who last night de clared a strike, thereby opposing the councils of their officials, went out this forenoon and this was followed by more freight handlers in East St. Louis walking out in sympathy. No figures have yet been given as to the number of teamsters who struck in St. Louis today, but it is said the strike was not a complete walkout, as the railroads and mercantile houses con tinued to handle freight although It is admitted they are somewhat handicap ped. The Chicago Alton freight handlers were the first to strike in East St. Louis today and later other freight handlers went out. It is estimated that with the men who went out yes terday there are now 1,500 freight handlers on strike in East St- Louis. KILLED COW. Results of a Eattle Between Guards and Prowlers. Jackson, Ky May 28. Early last evening a body of about 60 armed men were noticed in Jackson. They were not together but kept close to each oth er. At midnight the prowlers began to sneak across the street from the bank 60uth of the jail. The guards com manded them to halt. They refused and in reply fired several shots. The guards returned the fire. The prowlers ran about a hundred yards further and fired again. The guards then poured three volleys Into them in rapid suc cession. Moving objects were discover ed on the north side of the jail and the guards fired and killed a cow. A mo ment before the firing a flash of light ning revealed a squad of men in the hills In the rear of the jail. It was ex pected that concerted action was to be made to reach the jail and the troops prepared to give any comers a hot re ception, but a, terrifiie storm was rag ing and it was so dark that no further demonstration was made. The builet marks this morning showed that the firing was accurate. CAPTAIN SEALED UP. Vessel Capsized While Ha Was in Cabin and Drifted for 12 Days. Dantsic, Germany, May 28. A won derful story was told to the maritime court the other day by the captain of the steel sailing ship Erndte. He left Memel with a cargo of planks on April 18 for Oldenburg. Captain Engellandt, who is also owner, remain ed at the wheel during a bale which overtook the vessel the next night, and at 4 o'clock in the morning went to his cabin to change his wet clothes. He had just got into dry undercloth ing when the vessel tipped over, and he found himself standing on the roof of the cabin, of which the sea had her metically closed the door. By loosening the boards of what was now the roof he got into the hold, which contained only loose sails. For tunately some shelves of a high cup board standing in the cabin remained ELEGANT PROMENADE COSTUME. t Costume of blue etamine.

For twelve days the man lived in his prison, eating as sparingly as possible and drinking seawater. which appears to have had no ill effect. He spent his free time in hammering on the steel bottom of the ship to at tract the attention of chance passing vessels, and slept quite well at nights, for after the first. few days the sea was smooth. He knew when It was day, for a dim light penetrated the water. On the twelfth day the Norwegian steamer Aurora saw the wreck and sent a boat to take it in tow. Engellandt had fallen asleep, but hearing footsteps over his head he began knocking with his hammer and shouting. The Aurora's men returned to their ship for tools, and bored a hole through the wreck's keel, where they had heard the knocking. When they drew out their borer a man's finger followed, and they soon learned that Engellandt had food for four days more and wished to be towed to land, for it was Impossible to release him in the open sea. He also desired to have the hole plug ged again, as he was afraid that the loss of air would cause the ship to sink lower in the water. The Aurora towed the wreck safely to Neufahrwaosser, where with consider able difficulty it was attached to a huge crane, a plate was unloosed, and the Imprisoned captain freed. Engel landt was perfectly conscious and even able to walk alone.' Courts Uphold Evening Dress. It is a general principle of law that an individual or corporation may make "reasonable regulations" for the con duct of business. Just what reason able means in this connection has brought about a great deal of litigation, and the courts have been obliged to make many decisions, some of which have seemed rather extraordinary. The courts of New York city have just es tablished the rule that a restaurant proprietor may refuse to serve a per son not in "evening dress" if he has a regulation to the effect that all his guests after 6 o'clock must be so at tired. A hungry man was refused food and went to law and has his informa tion for his pains. Probably there are many persons who will think that this is a silly decision, based on unjust considerations, and at first sight it may appear rather un usual. A serious consideration of the subject, however, leads to the conclus ion that it is well grounded and ought to be observed. The proprietor of a lestaurant would undoubtedly be jus tified in ejecting an offensive-looking tramp, even if he had all sorts of money to buy delicacies. This being the case, it is easy to see that it is the proprie tor who must draw the Une somewhere, pnd if he draws it at "spike-tails" it is his good privilege. It can be assumed that no proprietor would make such an arrangement unless it was satisfactory to his customers. If he wants to have a place where only those garbed in the correct fashion for evening gayeties are admitted, he has the right to make the ruling and keep it going. Philadel phia Enquirer.

Sir Thomas Upton, like the king, has a favorite Irish ter rier named "Pat," which accompanies the baronet on all his wandering?. There is. however, a marked difference in the character of the two brutes. "Jack," the king's dog, exhausts his sagacity in showing extraordinary de-. vtition to his master, while "Pat," no less attached to Sir Thomas, shares hia devotion with Sir Thomas' valet. The valet is a linguist and so is Pat. The former speaks the majority of the languages of Europe, and Pat has proved himself an apt pupil. He un derstands when he is spoken to in French, German, Spanish and Italian. Thanks to Pat's attachment, the valet gets many a trip he otherwise would have missed, all for the sake of keeping Pat from being lonesome when Sir Thomas can not be with him. It was by the merest accident that Pat did not witness the Shamrock dis aster. He was with Sir Thomas at Dumbarton when the challenger was launched and being unaccustomed to the disagreeable Scotch mists he caught a cold and had to be placed in the hands of the doctor. The valet wa also left behind, lest Pat might take it into his head to speak in a languag; the doctor could not understand, and that in consequence there might be a difficulty in diagnosing the disease. Becoming convalescent. Pat unfor tunately contracted another complaint. He developed home sickness and was missing from his box one morning. Dumbarton is, however, but a sma'd place and everybody knew Pat to be the property of Sir Thomas Upton. He wa soon handed over to a nolice man who, instead of charging him, a they usually do in Scotland, with wan dering without visible means of sup port, restored him to Sir Thomas, who rewarded the kind constable with $50. Pat will not witness the next trial of the Shamrock, as he is priceless so far as Sir Thomas is concerned, anil the baronet dos not want his pet to run the risks of an American journey. Pat and Sir Thomas' adopted son, Stellio the Cretan boy whom the bar onet picked up in the Grecian archi pelago being both linguists, have long confabs together when the boy is home from school on his vacation. People who know Sir Thomas' Irish sympa thies, wonder why Pat does not know Gaelic, the language of his countrymen, but this is explained by the fart that the valet has not yet mastered that difficult tongue. Too Great a Risk In almost every neighborhood oomeone has died frum an attack of colic or cholera morbi... ofin before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned.

"I saw .Mrs. at the play last night. She was with the Hightones in their box," said the Man of Note, who was calling on the Demure Girl. He stirred his test meditatively. "I never quite realized before what a tally beautiful woman she Is, with her queenly liiyure, her crown of black hair and her lovely face. When one is with her one knows only the charm of her personality. It is only when at a distance that one appreciates that she is beautiful. Have you not felt her fas cination The Demure Girl looked up, with a little flutter of the eyelids. Then she smiled a little. "She is very lovely," she said, "and I think it is something more than beauty and charm lhat makes us all delight in her so. I think it is because she is so sweetly unselfish, so self-effacing, so to speak, so absolutely wdthout any of the petty vanity that you men attribute to women as our distinguishing character istic." "I believe you are right," said the Man of Note, "and she is intellectual, too. in just the right degree. Not super ficially so, nor is she is blue slocking. Just the happy meelium. And her ex perience of life has so broadened her outlook. I visited the Hightones' box between acts and greatly enjoyed the sparkle of her conversation." The Demure Girl bent over the little brass kettle and relighted the alcohol lamp. "Did you enjoy the play," she said. "We went the first night and thought it delightful. Do you know, he is one of the very few actors whom I ever de sired to meet, personally. .Usually I am content to never see them out of their parts, but this man 1 should like .o know." "You would not care for him," said the Man of Note. "I have met him, and there is nothing particularly at tractive about him. He's well enough, you know, but nothing more. I never can understand the attraction he has for women. One meets dozens of men every day who are handsomer indeed, I fail to rind .much beauty in his face. It is only because he is an actor that wo men rave over him. If he were follow ing one of the everyday vocations, you would never give him a second thought." "1 saw you at the play," said the De mure Girl. "You were with Prof. Hob-son-Dobson, were you not?" "Yes, we went together." answered the Man of Note, lie frowned a. little. "It's too bad, isn't it. that Hobson Dobson hasn't a better face. I beiieve it injures him in his work that crim inal face of his and yet he is a good man." "Criminal face!" echoed the Demure Girl. "Whatever do you mean? I think he has a fine face a sort of John Storm countenance. He looks to me like a man who mitrht do all sorts of grand things fanatical, perhaps, and ascetic but eminently good and strong. Are his features of a criminal conformation or is it his expression?" "Oh. the general ensemble," answer ed the Man of Note. "To me he looks absolutely criminal, and yet he is one of the best men, as you say. But his face certainly is unfortunate for him." "Apropos of faces." said the De mure Girl, "I want your opinion." "That is something." said the Man of Note, "that will always be at your service." The Demure Girl crossed the room to a desk, and took from one of its re r,.ff,.s a newspaper clipping, which she handed him. It was a half-tone cut of a man's head reasonably clear and apparently a good enough "likeness." "Tell me." she said, "what you think of him. What do you make of that Vhe Mane of Note frowned through his eyeglasses. "He has very bad features," he said. Tb Demure Girl looked at him in some surnrise. "He is a handsome man." she said. "How can he be?" said the Man of Note. "Iiok at that mouth. And he has Kid ears." "Whoever would think of criticising a men's ears unless there was something abnormal about them," said the Demure Girl. "His ears are abnormal," said the Man of Note: "they are too large and set too low, and they stand out from his head. Who is he?" The Demure Girl took the clipping and tore it into little pieces, which she dropped into the fire. "Do you remember the story I told you last winter, of a man's beautiful act of self sacrifice and self denial for people who were helpless and alone, and who had only a shadow of a claim upon him? It was his picture that I showed you." Yes." said the Man of Note. I re member." "He came into some prominence not long ago, and as a consequence his pic ture eot into the newspapers. I cut It out to show you, because I wanted your judgment of 'his character. I wanted to know whether you thought his act was one of impulse onlv. or whether it re sulted from true nobility of character. I felt sure vou could tell me. But you thought only of his lack of beauty." "You took the picture away so quick ly." said the Man of Note, "that I hadn't begun to think of his character." "Never mind," said the Demure Girl. Do let me give you another cup of tea. I o vou know, I am going to have a crane arranged by the fireplace, so that I can make tea in the good old fashion ed way, with the kettle hanging over the fiie, instead of having this artificial little alcohol arrangement. I believe the tea would taste better if the water were boiled over glowing coals or bright (lames of an actual tire, don't you?" You have an actual fire, act.ua! flames, with your artificial alcohol ar rangement," said The Man of Note, smiling. "And It is much Dss trouble. Besides, the weather is not always fa vorable for a lire in the grate. Why not be content with the advantages of civilization?" "It is so involved, so intricate, so In direct." answered the Demure Girl. "I hould like a touch of the natural. th primeval, once in a while, even if it were only in the matter of boiling the. kettle. A heap of twigs, with flint and steel would please me much, I am tired of the manufactured product, I am tited of manufactured opinions and manufactured women with manufac tured ideals ard conventions to. live up to, all turned out by the hundred thou sand, all just alike, with the same trads miii'ii." "This from vou?" questioned the Man of Note. "Who would ever have dreamed that you. of all peonle. want ed to be emancipated? Your speech sounds as though you might have b.;?r associating with the New Woman." "There is just one thing." said th Demure Girl, "that I should like to be emancipated from, and that is the mass of id.-as that men have formed con eerninr us. You pre.lieat for us oer. tain actions in every given case, and if we wish to live ur to vour ideas w "list do what you expect us to, and that prevents us from having any free dom of expression. Now don't misun derstand me. i finn't want to ehang the beautiful ideals that men have of women. I want them to put us up on i pedestal it's .the nicest place in the world to be and I want them to be lieve every good ard beautiful thing of us, and I want us ail to live ur to those ideals, every one of us. You can't set up too high a standard for us. It's th othr side of the question that I am ob jecting to the derogatory ideas that you have of us. don't you know, that we have to live down." "No." said the Man of Note, "I don't know." "Well." said the Demure Girl, "sup pose we take our conversation this af ternoon for example. We've talketl, you know, about men and women their at tractiveness, beauty, charm, what-not. You enthusiastically praised Mrs. to me she was regal, beautiful, full of charm. And I agreed with you. did 1 not? I added my meed of praise to yours, and I said no derogatory word or her. But w hat about the men we talked of? One, you said, was attractive to women just because he was an actor he had nothing else to recommend him the Ii.ce of another you found to be of a criminal type, and the third was dis missed because he had abnormal ears i ou found nothing to praise in any of them. Now, you see what I mean by wanting to be emancinated." "No." said the Man 'of Note. "I don't see the connection." The Demure Girl moved to a chair near the fire, and put one small foot oa the fender. "It's as plain as day," she said. "I simply didn't dare to make any crith cism of Mrs. i had to agree with you that she was beautiful and lovely and sweet, because if I had found ever so little fault with her, you would have said to yourself, 'Just like a woman? vain and pealous, and can't bear to fr nr",t?er womar praised. Women are all alike in that respect. Want all the admiration themselves. Pimply an other evidence of the essentially petty feminine nature.' That is one of the manufactured ideas that you men have fT e J,vomen' And because vou hav honesJ W? are not Permitted any ""e,sty of expression, because we don't want you to think horrid things of us r.in the other hand- en are supposed-nay, known-to be utterly fre from vanity and pettiness. m-ltV'n7dyuknOWS that a man'S eSli- rfv th a",,her mnn not influenced should not predicate them of vou, no matter what you said about other men, and you wt,re free tQ thought Now, I never should have dared to say that Mrs. -s eve brows grew too close together for beau ty, or that she did not have pretty hands, or that her fascination was to be accounted for by the fact that she is a widow- to have done so would have brought a judgment of feminine spite upon ms, but you could dismiss one man as being attractive only because he is an actor, and another because his face is criminal, you say, and still an other because you found his ears bed without any such danger, and I say That it isn't fair." The Man of Note smiled quizzically. "I think that it is better just as it "is," he said. "You can't imagine how much men enjoy hearing you women praise each other with such grace and sweet ness and apparent sincerity. Never mind whether you mean it or not Those things are only a part of your beautiful feminine raiment the lovely garments with which you adorn yourself. Not many Imagine that they are a com ponent part of yourselves. But do not therefore discard them. As to man's greater freedom in expression of opin ion, that is an inherently masculine prerogative, and one that is not num bered, and cannot for a long time be numbered among your feminine privil eges. In the meantime count your mercies. And I should like another cup of tea." "Evening Wisconsin. SUGGESTS COLONIZATION. New England Emigrant Aid Society Model for Cuba. To the Editor of the State Journal: In a recent issue of your paper I gave a few of the reasons why Cuba should be abseu-bed by us "benevolently as similated." Probably more than three fourths of our people would vote for its annexion, but the mass of them leave the matter to the politicians; the most of whom now, as ever before (in such cases), ask, "What is there in this for me?" and, if they can see no personal advantage, decline to devote time and thought to it. Moreover, this is not, at present, a case for political action. The United States needs Cuba and, sooner or later, will absorb it. The longer it remains independent the more difficult wdll the problem become, the more active will be the outside opposi tion as well as the internal hostility, and the greater the danger of action by us of which we will subsequently be ashamed. Most Cubans belong to the so-called Latin race. Naturally proud and ambitious they have good reason for feeling hurt and angry at many things lhat have been said and done by some of our oeople. It is therefore not surprising that they are very generally opposed to annexation and these sen jtiments cannot now be easily changed I by mere political action. Much might j have been accomplished by the prompt (adoption of a liberal reciprocity policy, but tne paltry concessions that Presi dent Roosevelt finally wrung from an unwilling senate are more likely to irri tate thnn to soothe. Undoubtedly we and they are rapidly drifting apart, and must continue to do so until we adopt a more wdnning pol icy one that will tie the two regions indissolubly together and the surest and quickest way to do this will be for a sufficient number of our people to make Cuba their home. Nor nted this be so difficult a matter as some people imagine, provided the American set tlers have a reasonable amount of com mon sense, love of justice, and altru ism. The following boiled down facts should be kept constantly in mind: 1. Mere 'exploiters" who expect -to live on its people will do more harm than good. It is intelligent producers, people that expect to readily earn their own living, and that will be polite, tolerant and kindly as well as honest, in their relations with the natives that Cuba needs, and it is only this class of people that can secure the hearty good will of the natives. 2. Cuba is no place for those that en joy cold weather; but millions of those of our people that dread the cold would be healthier, happier and more pros perous there than here. 3. The demand for mechanics and wage earners, generally, is small: but there is opening for hundreds of thou- sands of agriculturists, manufacturers and winter home makers, with some means and wherever these locate a de mand for the other classes will follow. 4. For some time it will be well for Americans to settle in colonies for both social and economic reasons and they should cultivate a spirit of mutual h a n r n if M il a7 5 W mi THE PU RE GRAIN COFFEE Even children drink Grain-O because th-y lite it and Uie doc tors say it is ;ood for them.

The number of farm, garden, and orchard products that can be made profitable is very large, but each agri culturist should select his home wdth special reference to what he wishes to raise or adapt his crops to his loca tion and in the selection of sites for winter resorts locality is also very im portant. If Cuba is to be wooed and won by American emigrants there will have to be a wisely organized movement, and I know of no better model than the New England Emigrant Aid society that saved Kansas to freedom. It collected and broadcasted information about Kansas. It brought together those that wished to move in parties and secured for them cheap transportation, etc., and I know of no reason why a similar or ganization unselfishly managed should be less successful in this case. Nor should any more time be lost as, at the best, several months would be required to get it into operation. There is much more that I should like to say here but space forbids, and I will add only one thought. In spite of the discouraging facts upon which pes simists dwell the world is really grow ing better; and the reason is that a constantly increasing number of people, from year to year, live a little nearer in accord with the Golden Rule. The most of them are never heard of but their lives are moral leaven. Tens of thous ands of people feel the stirrings of a missionary spirit but because they can neither preach nor write,- assume that there is nothing they can do. This is a serious mistake. In great numbers of cases their righteous lives are doing as much for humanity as some of the mis sionaries with whom they long to work. It is however, true that many of them could profitably change their location, and I submit that, for some of them. Cuba is such a field. Its people need their personal example and help even more than ours do and their presence there is also needed as a restraint upon, or to counteract, the influence of a class that is sure to go, and be even a worse curse there than It is here. The reason why Kansas has stood so high morally is because so many of its first settlers were impelled to come here by other than purely selfish motives and their influence is still felt. The fu ture well-being of Cuba, and the best Interests of the United States, and of humanity at large demand not only the speedy Americanization of Cuba, but also that it shall be directed by genuine altruists. I knew of no other place where those physically fitted for life in a warm climate, who wish to leave the world the better for their having lived In it, can do so much effective work m that drection, with little pecuniary sac rifice (and often with great profit) to themselves by the mere force of the kind of lives they wish to lead as can be done in Cuba at this time. Where are the young men and -women lhat will organize such a movement? Heretofore the people of the north have been the most active organizers, but the most of the emigrants to Cuba wil! probably go from the south, and it seems to me that the "young south" is especially fittet for this work.

L. M. AVinans, of Seymour, Mo., who Js a rrarti. al c tninima 1 apple grower by t-rurHtiri, is spf iv.ling a lew ln in Tor'fka. -Mr. W'iiians is straight from the heart of the n:ple country, where he is a man of considerably im porfani'1 in the orchard businoss. 1 f is the owner of lK'U acres of apple lam), ivhii'h he cleared of The original cover inu of native timber and planted him FHf. Hi? orchard is seven years oid, find is already making him a wealthy man. Aft r starting- his orchard M p. W in -ins built himsHi a 14-reoni huis- C'-piipped with the conveniences f i t y i muscs, and his establishment is usu ally full of visitors, as the locality aiound .;-mour is pome tiling of a r, e;i ith resort. Ip sneaking of his orchard and the orchard business greneially Mr. Winani paid iodav: "I hfivp hn in the orchard and appl" business ail my lit'3 as an applr- buy r more recently as an apple grower. My t-ithv settled in H.-nton Harbor, Mich., v hen I was 11 year s old and purchased Pixty acres on which we lived. 11" v:is a practicing physieiati Intt we raised fruit on our farm just outside the cor jnrate limits. I eot my first "jd?j cation In the business there. When 1 was 21 bought iliirty acres in Michigan and ;uar:P-d it in fruit and stiil own it. I ,nme to Kansas and followed the apple, business here and in Missouri. Kiiiht years atro J cleared a thousand acres in M issouri and planted it in n pples and other fruit. I do my own shipping" and go into the markets myself. I can handle my apphs at great-r advantage in that way. "t me fit tiie. reasons that Missouri ex cels in apole growinp; is that it is con ducted upon the most practical prin ciples. The orchards are sprayed at the proper season, planting is conduct ed scientifically, and every detail of the business is watcheii and managed u it-u the vu-w of t- oifimy. f a man wants, to raise Hjiples there he should do it on a lair?e seal". Then when he once pt ft g-ood crop he and liis wife and chil dren will never want for anything more. Thei e is one of the best open 1 n k s for o u n men to b e s u ccessful that can be found anywhere, if thy understa nd t he business and follow it dKipripr.t iously. "Kansas is not the state that Missouri J in raisins: apple? because her sm! is jf.?s -well adapted frr it and because her fruit men h? ve nor studied the business a carefullv. With judicious methorN K a nsns Crin Ve er-itly improved as an -rch.ard ffate. The soil, however, is, in many place?, too rich. Where this is the case it should be thinned by heavy cropping: and the trees should be plant ed wide apart. The rich soil here X ak' s the trees inn ton much to sap. f r miner fdiaee that shad'-s the fruit end develops fewer buds. In our coun try we do not have ihis to contend with and the iron in the soi I Rivs fruit a rich coloring that ca n not be obtained in Kansas. "Kruit trrou ins; in Missouri is now recognize, i as one of the biases t indus tries of the state and business men from the larger cities are goinii out into the wilderness and establishing- t hem felves in orchards. rl'hey are doing- ir fimrdy le a use t hey re( o.muze its im portance as a business, and not becaus if natural inclinations toward horticul ture. Young- men whom one would ex pect to lie inclined to anything else, art taking it nil and are becoming success ful growers. Once established an apple orchard iviil outlive its owner and with care will always bear fruit. I do nor know to w h a t a ere an a p pie t ree w U lea r.

Cook of Kansas City, spe cial inspector of the M. K. Telephone company, is in Topeka for the purpose of "cutting in" the new Topeka ex change. It is to be hoped that the people of Topeka will patronize the evening con certs of Marshall's band a little better than they have the baseball games at Washburn athletic park. The farmers are bringing hogs to market. They ought to when the beef trust is charging 22 cents a pound for bacon.

The business of dredging sand is a preca rious one in the early part of the year, when the material is most needed. To peka is on the verge of a sand famine on account of the high water. Mr. Peppmeyer proposes to use his boat as an excursion vessel for the entertain ment of townspeople whenever the river is high enough to float it. It is to be a flatboat which will draw but a few inches of water, and will be propelled by a 20 horsepower engine. PURSUED BY FLOOD. Des Moines Families Are Driven From Home by High Water. Pes Moines, la... May 28. Hundreds of families were driven from their homes by floods today closely approaching the unprecedented record of last year and the water continued to rise with such rapidity as to render it apparent that last year's record would be soon sur passed. At the Sixth street bridge in North Des Moines, the gauge is within six inches of last year's record of 21.4 feet. In the heart of the city the gauge indicated approximately 19 feet. The water today is rising at the rate of two inches an hour. Reports from above Pes Moines indicate that last year's record has been surpassed and the water rising at. a startling rate. All night scores of men patrolled the river banks, strengthening the levees, while many more were employed in re moving inhabitants and household goods from the bottoms. At 8 o'clock the levees on Maurice street gave way, before the floods of the Des Moines river, swelled by those of the Raccoon and 15 houses were flooded in an in credibly short time, forcing the inmates to run for their lives. The Raccoon is keeping pace with the Des Moines and has devastated many square miles of territory in the southwestern portion of the state. THE G. A. K. REUNION.

Camphell, chairman of the state live stock sanitary commission, whom his neiphhoringr cattle men in Clark county are after on account of the quarantine regulations to stamp out the mange, G-ov. Bailey announced that the regulations would he modifier! some what to meet the objections of the Clark county people. "Cattle intended for the market immedi ately will he allowed to he shipped after a careful inspection, if found to he free from all signs of the manse," said Governor Bailey. "Inspected cattle will also be al lowed to move from one pasture to an other until the moving season is over. Rut of course no infected cattle will he allowed to be moved anywhere until they have been dipped, and after the moving season i.s over the order that all cattle rmist be dipped will be enforced. It is not the desire to enforce a hardship on any one, but the only thing- to be done is to stamp out the mange, and the way to stamp it out is to do it thoroughly." Mr. Camphell denies that he held up the order until he gnt his own cattle east of the n.uarantine line. He says it is true that he shipped some cattle out, but that he dipped them all first.

A Few Minutes Use of Hyomei Four Times a Day Cures Catarrh. The pleasantest, most convenient and the only scientific method for the treat ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in the inhaler that comes with every pack age and then breathe it for a few min utes four times a day. It seems remarkable that so simple a way of treating catarrh will effect a cure, but the most important discover ies of science have always been the sim plest. By breathing Hyomei in this way every particle of air that enters the air passages of the throat and head and goes into the lungs is charged with a healing balsam' that kills the germs and bacilli of catarrh and soothes and allays all irritation. The first day's use of Hyomei will show a decided improvement and in a short time there will be no further trou ble from catarrh. Its action is rapid and lasting. You take no risk in buying Hyomei. A complete outfit costs S1.K, and if af ter using you can say that it has not helped you. Geo. W-. Stansfield, drug girt, 32 Kansas avenue, will return your money.
