Elias Conner, a stock raiser of lone, returned from Heppner at o'clock this morning:. He left the scene of the disaster at 6 o'clock last night and brings the latest news. "It is now known.", said Mr. Conner, "that at least 275 or 3si uaotle were drowned. 11a corpses have been hastily buried in wooden boxes and some were merely wrapped in blankets There were still several wagon loa'ls of dead on their way to the cemetery when 1 left Heppner itself has now been pieftyl well searched except m piles of debris, where it is thought great numbers of dead bodies will be found. "Between Ic)ne and Hepprer." saiel Mr. Conner, "there are great piles of debris, but the flood passed so rjuiekly that the roads have not been seriously damaged. The railroad track however from Lex ington, is badly torn up. "It looks strange to see the heavy steel rails bent, and twisted like cork screws and the heavy timber splinter ed like matchwood. "In Heppner itself the flood swept a (lean path two blocks wide through the tow n, follenving generally the course ot Willow creek." STORIES OF PFRVIVORS. Pendleton, Ore., June 16. Three men who survived the flood at Heppner have arrived in this city. They sire R. D. Ball. J. J. Kelly and A. P. Bradbury. They left the Hooded city yesterday af ter witnessins the destruc tion of the town and assisting in the rescue. Mr. K-lly said: "The storm was something fearful. It ceiuld be easily seen from the city. The people were gathered in their yards and on their porches to witness the display of the heavens. "The rain was not falling in Heppner, but could be seen some distance away. Shari) flashes of lightning were accom panied by the howling thunder. Then suddenly the thunder storm died away and left an ominous silence. Then a low. riiinbl'112 noise- was heard, vel". faint at first, but growing louder.

Presides at Meeting of Kansas Mutual Policy Holders. Judge Hook Decides Question in His Faror. TRUSTEES IN CONTROL. Believes There Are Enough Proxies to Carry Out Plan. This Probably Means a Sale to Illinois Life. Meeting Now lieing Held Representative Hall. at Under authority of a written ruling made Monday afternoon by Judge Hook in the Kansas Mutual case, Cyrus Ice land presides at the meeting of the company which is in progress this af ternoon. The organization of the policy holders with George W. Crane as chairman, which was perfected here on June 1 will not be recognized by the court. Judge Hook held that the statutes provide that the trustees shall perform p. B u Cyrua Leland, Who Is Presiding at th Meeting of Kansas Mutual Stockholders Tcfday. all the functions of directors of the company, and that acting as the direc tors, and as officers of the court, it is their duty to take full charge of the meeting, and make reitort of the pro ceedings to the court. Judge Hook also made a ruling on another point of importance. He holds that any proposed plan of action must receive the sanction of at least two thirds of the total number of policy holders of the company, not merely two-thirds of the policy holders present at the meeting. The court says that an action of such grave importance as the transfer of the property should be sanc tioned by two-thirds of the total num ber of policy holders. He recommends that if it is impossible for two-thirds of the policy holders to agree, that the iepiesentatives of the two factions which have the largest support get to gether and try to fix up an agreement which will be mutually satisfactory and for the best interests of the policy hold ers. Under this two-thirds ruling, it will t,e necessary for any proposed line of action to receive the votes of about 4,200 policv holders. There are a total of about S.TjOO different policy holders. h this total, there are only about .",,0.0 i-epiesented at the meeting today. It will therefore lie nei es-ary to secure al most unanimous action on the part o the polic y holders who are represented. Things "seem to indic ate that the pro position of the Illinois Lite Insurance company to reinsure the Kansas Mutual business has the largest following, and will be adopted. This is the plan which is advocated by Leland and Cole, two of the trustees. Strange as it may seem. D. W. Mul vane is w ot king in harmony with Le land to advance the interests of the Illi nois ft-'. The National Life Insula nee company has the backing of the old ofiicers oi the Kansas Mutual, w hich is eonsidere i by some as a source of weakness rathe, than strength. There is a ti-e.iudi-e against the old ofiicers, and it has to be recognized, regardless of whether it is un lust prejudice or not. PROXY COMMITTEE MEETS. All this morning the committee o! ofH. ial proxy holders re commended by the court was in session at Kansas Mu tual h- ndr-uarters. Those present wen Case F.roderic-k. Holton: S. L. Ryp.n. Hiawatha: W. A. L. Thompson, To peka; Elrick C. Cole, Great Bend; O. Z. Smith. Wic hita. Thomas Patre was no. pj-fsent and was represented by G. i;ia:-.c!ev. The committee called before it the reprefscrntattves of each of the insurant-; companies which has made a proposi tion, and gave them a heai ins. Each agent was asked to advo at the bid of his comnany to the best of his ab'b itv. and was asked numerous question:-c-oticerning the bid. This meeting was all behind closed doors. Tt is understood that this committee holds by far the largest pottion of th" proxies, anrl as neatly all of the com mittee has lined up with the Illiin-i.-i Life. it. gives tht remra:1' the insidj track at the mening of th" contest. HINTS AT TROFBEE. There were rumors this morning' that there woulel be trouble when the time for organization came. The backers of the National Life, who are very hosti'e to the trusteies. do not want Mr. Lelan to preside. They were quietly working the thing; up, and urging their friends to be on hand promptly for the con flict at 2 p. m. Some of the leaders of that faction held a meeting, Monday night and dis cussed the order which tiad just been given out by Judge Hook. It was re ported that at that time an agTeemem was reached as to the plan of action to be followed today by the allied forces in opposition to the trustees and th Illinois I-ife. DEMAND'S DENIAL. Cyrus Leland this morning denied the report that the trustees have solicited proxies on behalf of the Illinois Life In surance company or any other company. '"The meeting will be conducted with absolute impartiality," said Mr. Leland. "It is false that the trustees have se cured two-thirds of the proxies and will vote them for the Illinois Life. The trus tees will simply conduct this meeting and make a report to the court as to what has been done." Mr. Leland also denied the statement that the trustees have not given a cor rect summary of the bid of the Illinois Life. 'The Illinois Life submitted to the trustees a form of contract." said Mr. Leland. "which it would have been en tirely improper to make public at this time. The summary presented to the policy holders covers every essential point of the contract." WENT TO REPRESENTATIVE HALL. After the meeting of policy holders had been called to order by Mr. Leland at the company's office. Seventh and Jackson streets, it at once adjourned to representative hall in the state hose where accommodations had been ar ranged. It is likely that a session will be held this evening. Some think that the meet ing will continue for several days. It all depends on how- tightly the proxies are tied up in the hands of the rival fac tions. If neither side can adopt a plan without the co-operation of the other, there may be a deadlock which will cause unexpected and interesting com plications to ensue. There are several individuals here, act ing without special reference to either faction, and yet controlling consider able numbers of proxies. These indi viduals may. by combinations, be able to exert a controlling influence on the meeting. Promptly at 2 o'clock Mr. Leland called the meeting to order at the com pany's headquarters. About 150 policy holders were crowded into the hall, and quite a number of others were unable to get in. "It had been our intention," said Mr. Leland, "to adjourn this meeting at once to representative hall, but just this afternoon, quite a number of additional proxies have been received, and it will require probably two hours to tabulate them, and see that they are properly entered upon the books. A statement will he given to each policy holder showing how many proxies he controls, how many have been revoked by later proxies, and how many polices have lapsed and are not eligible to vote. It therefore has been found necessary to adjourn this meeting until 4 o'clock, when it w ill reconvene at representati ve hall." Governor E. N. Morrill was present at the meeting. The old officers of the Kansas Mutual were also there. Geo. W. Crane was not present. The majority of the crowd seemed to be friendly to the Da vis-Moon-Welleome faction, but the majority of the proxies will probably be favorable to the Illinois Life Insurance company's proposition. DOESN'T MAKE A TRUST When One Corporation Out 1! i v a 1 Concerns. Buys Jefferson City, Mo.. June 16. The su preme court has dec-ided against Attor ney Genera! Crow in his suit for a de cree in ouster against the Continental Tobac c o company, brought for violation of the Missouri anti-trust laws. Judge Fox wrote the opinion of the court and all the judges concurred with him in confirming the report of the ref eree and dismissing the case. This is a decided victoiy for the tobacco com pany. In tine the court holds a cor poration acting in good faith and in tire legitimate pursuit of its business can buy up all the assets of other similar i corporations it has the money to pay for. The law prohibiting the formation of a trust or combination to control j prices- roes not prohibit the purchase of one corporation by another. The c ourt says that the evidence taken before the commissioner fails to show! a combination or trust. j The authority to buy. manufacture j and sell tobacco and authority to erect, maintain and operate such plants all of I which is granted the company by its charter, clearly gives the company the pow er to purchase the assets of other c ompanies in a smaller business. Th order of the court therecore is the report j of the commissioner be confirmed. Lakin Beet Sugar Crop. Lakin. Kan., June 16. The beet sugar agriculturist of the Rocky Ford fac tory has made his first inspection of the crop in this county and reports the prospect for a fine crop as first class. In many instances the crop has been planted three times this- season. HE STEPS OUT. Austrian Premier Hands in His Hesignation. It Is Promptly Accepted by the Emperor. OUTBURST OF CHEERS Greets the Announcement of His Action in Parliament. Forced to His Course by Lack of Harmony. Budapest, June 16. Premier DeSzett announced today in the lower house of the Hungarian diet that he had tendered his resignation to King Francis Joseph on Sunday last and that his majesty had accepted it. Reports that the cabinet intended re signing had been in circulation prior to the assembling of parliament so there was considerable tension in the house when it assembled. The entrance of the premier was the signal for an outburst of cheers from his supporters while the opposition retorted with scoffing shouts of "What a happy funeral." The premier rising said: "I have repeatedly set forth the prin ciples and views which have guided my policy in regard to the opposition mani fested by obstructionists to the army bill. "On both occasions I said my policy would only be followed so long as full harmony of views prevailed among all the factions concerned. As such har mony no longer exists I tendered my resignation to the king Sunday and his majesty has been pleased to accept it. I beg the house to adjourn pending dis formation of a new cabinet." DEWEY TRIAL OPENS. First Witness Refuses to swer (Questions. An- St. Francis, Kas., June 16. With an armed guard standing as a solid wall between the men and curious public, Chauncey Dewey, W. J. McBride ana Clyde Wilson faced Justice Hall for their preliminary hearing this morning. No one was allowed to enter the court house until he had been searched for weaoons. The soldiers sat with their backs to the court and faced the crowd, thus having an opportunity to view every one who entered the court house. The line extended clear across the room from wall to wall. The array of legal talent here is probably the greatest ever witnessed at a preliminary hear ing in Kansas. All interested in the trial are here. The cowboys from the Dewey ranch who were with the accused the day of the triple murder arrived late last night. All came heavily armed, but this morning their guns had been discarded and they spent most of their time in side the guard lines of the camp. The Berrys came to town early today and but little was seen of them until they entered the court. Men. women and children crowded the court room. Sonvi had driven miles to hear the hearing. Every soldier before leaving camp wa given additional ammunition and the strictest orders as to guard duty is sued. The prisoners were brought into court at 10 o'clock, surrounded by a guard of nearly a dozen soldiers. The soldiers on guard in the court numbered twenty or more. Each man sat with his back to the court and their line stretched nearly across the court, mak ing a solid wall between the prisoners and the public. A bayonet was fixed to every srun. Ed Tucker, one of Dewey's cowboys, the first witness called, created a sen sation by refusing to answer any of the questions put to him by Attorney Gen eral Coleman for the state. Tucket said he would refuse to answer ques tions because he understood there was a. warrant out for his arrest, and State Senator Hessin, attorney for the de. fense, volunteered that the witness was acting under counsel's advice on th ground his answers might deduce tes. timony that would tend to incriminate him. The Dewey cowboys have, it is stated, refused to testify and this has success fully blocked the purpose for which the state has subpoenaed them. Tucker continuing to refuse to repl to his questions. Attorney General Cole, man appealed to the court and asked that he be committed to jail until he would answer. Justice T. S. Hall, -before whom thc case will be heard, is a retired Methn. dist preacher. He was wanted to ofTU ciate at the funeral of the murdered men, but the message reached him after the train to Bird City had gone He has been a resident of western Kan sas for years, and while not engageel in dispensing justice sells grain and feed of all kinds. This is the secon 1 case which he has been called upon to try. "I make it my aim," he said to day, "in lawsuits tried before me to try to bring about a settlement between Un people at outs. But this case is too much for me." Attorney Coleman appealed to the court and Justice Hall ordered Tucker sent to jail for contempt, as he did A. L. Winship. another of Dewey's cow boys who followed Tuok-r on the stand and also declined to testify. Beach D. Berry told the story of the killing and when asked who fired the first shot, answered promptly: "Chauncey Dewey." Berry said that he recognized Dewey. Wilson and McBride in the attacking party. Two More Warrants Issued. Washington. June 16. The federal grand jury here resumed the considera tion of postoffice department cases to day. It is stated that two warrants were issued at the district attorney's office to day for the arrest of persons involved in the scandals. No information can be obtained as to who the persons are against whom the warrants are di rected. Roosevelt's Guests. Washington, June 16 Baron Stern berg, the German ambassador. Baton Rheinbaden. the Prussian minister of finance, and General Frederick D. Grant were President Roosevelt's guests at luncheon yesterday. A Change in the Pope's Treatment Rome, June 16. Dr. Lapponi visited the pope today and changed his treat ment. He found the pope better. RAIN WAS WELCOME. Streets Wore Dusty and the Ground Parched. It wasn't long ago that there was too much rain, but the rain today was hailed with delight. It laid dust in North Topeka where a week ago there was several feet of mud. The rain up to 11 o'clock amounted to 13 hundredths of an inch, and there was more at noon. The forecast sent out today was "Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday." The maximum anl minimum temperatures reported from over the state for the 24 hours endin--; this morning at 7 o'clock were as fo: lows: Baker, K2, 60; Concordia, 78, 62; Dodge City, 78, 60; Fort Scott.

The contest over the appointment of a LTnited States district judge is quiet, pending the arrival of Senator Lons and Senator Burton to discuss the mat ter. Senator Long is expected to arriv on ihs 4:40 Santa Fe train from t"n west this afternoon, and Senator Burs ton is looked for at most anv time. They may hold a conference between themselves and attempt to agree upon a candidate. Justice Pollock's friends are doing all they can to line up the Leland element of the party for their candidate, but the uncertainty of Senator Long's posi tion makes the politicians slow to maka promises. And meanw hile a great many people are talking for Chief Justice Johnston. The boom for H. N. Loomis is also gaining increased momentum, notwith standing the fact that Mr. Loomis haw repeatedly stated that he is not a can didate but is for Charles Blood Smith The political atmosphere will doubt less clear considerably when Senator Long arrives and his position becomes known. At present even his most intK mate friends do not seem to know his inclinations in the mattur of the judge, shin. s NOW NEARLY $30,000. That Is the Amount of General Helief Fund.

The official call will probably be issued tomorrow, and the date for the session will be on Wednesday of next week. June 24. This" is the only way out of the dif ficulty which presents itself to the governor, as a result of his trip to Kan sas City last night, at which time he conferred with leading citizens of Kan sas City, Kansas, relative to the mat ter, and after every other suggestion to relieve the situation without a special session has been exhausted. It is the governor's desire that the session shall be short and to the point. His only reason for calling it is to en able Wyandotte county to rebuild thts bridges across the Kaw, without which business between the two Kansas City3 and between different portions of Kan sas City itself can scarcely be trans acted. The governor w ishes the legisla ture to attend strictly to the bridaa business and do nothing else at all, un less, it may be to enable boards of county commissioners to readjust th; taxes of the flood sufferers. There is no doubt that Kansas City. Kan., is facing a tremendously serious proposition. Wyandotte county lo.-t eight bridges, one at Bonner Springs., one at Turner, and the other six in Kansas City, Kas. It is believed that the present emergency can be met by rebuilding five of these bridges, but tne five will cost upwards of $500. ooc). The people in Kansas City, Kan are afraid that they will lose a good share of their population and enterprises if these bridges are not rebuilt within the near future. Many of the residents of Kansas City, Kan., are employed on th. other side of the river, and with the bridges gone they finel it almost impos sible to go back and forth between their homes and their employment. Unless the bridges are restored many will have to move to Kansas City, Mo. Then, too, there is danger that some of the big industries which are located on the Kansas side will move into Mis souri unless transportation facilities are afforded across the Kaw. A single pack ing house recently paid out $220 in a single day for transporting its employes across the Kaw. This is the desperate situation which was presented to Governor Bailey at a conrerence wiin aDOUt twenty-nve rep resentative citizens of Kansas City at the Midland hotel there last night. Th; governor was accompanied from To peka by State Treasurer Kelly, the only other member of th1 executive council in the city. The governor had also informally requested ex-Attorney Gen eral Godard and another member of the Topeka relief committee to go with him. Governor Bailey suggested that th county commissioners issue bonds t-3 rebuild the bridges, with the under standing that the state school fund commissioners might take part of them, which would guarantee that the next legislature would legalize the issue. His idea was that Kansas City capi talists would be willing to take tFTe re mainder of the issue. A canvass ot Kansas City banking institutions on Monday, however, showed that they would buy no bonds if there was any doubt of their legality whatever. It was also pointed out that the issue would surely be enjoined. Another objection urged w as that it would be criminal on the part of the county commissioners to issue bonds illegally, and while such ac tion would doubtless not be brought against the officers. It would not be ad visable even in the great emergency. It is impossible, too, in Wyandotte county to hold a bond election for bridges until the general election nejet year. The law provides that such bond elections may not be held except at gen eral elections in counties having more than 20.000 population. The Kansas City people pay their bridges cannot be replaced for their or iginal cost, and the law covering repairs does not thus apply. The Kaw has con siderably widened its channel so that it will be necessary to widen the bridges. Then traffic has so largely increased be tween the two Kansas Citys that the bridges must be enlarged to meet mod ern conditions. The bridges are practi cally wiped out. There is little or no salvage. The abutment remains are where piers should be. In view of this situation there seema to be no way to help Kansas City's des perate situation except to call a special session of the legislature iO legalize the bond issue. Governor Bailey, it is un derstood, will insist that it shall be for no other purpose than to enable the counties to rebuild their bridges whirh have been destroyed by the floods, anu such other limited action as may be incidental and necessary as a result of the flood and which his call will specify.

Have Won Majority of Games Plajed This Year. SOME NOTED CONTESTS. Eleven Inning Game With Has kell, Score to 1. Also Defeated the K. U. Team in 13 to 5 Game. Lindsborgr, Kan., June 16. The Beth any baseball club, has made a great rec ord this year. Following is a brief summary of their work kindly furnished by Captain Hoffman: The team was organized and com menced practice about the second week in March, the first game being; played X !A-y St t J I 11 I Hoi m Pifcrner with the Kansas university team on April'?; the game was a very close one, the score up to the seventh inning being 1 to 0 in favor of Bethany. In the sev enth Bethany took the airship route and when they landed in the ninth, K. 17. had eight scores, the game ending 8 to 1 in favor of K. U. On April 8, Bethany again crossed bats with K. TJ. and with a much differ ent story, the game ending 1:1 to 5 in favor of Bethany. April 17, the K. S. A. C. team came up and won an easy game. Must every one of the Bethany boys were running a race to see who could make the most errors and in the finish the Farmers had "made the round" 14 times to Beth any's 7. J One of the prettiest games of the sea- son was played with the Ottawa boys j on April 24. The Ottawa boys had not met with a defeat and were very conti- dent of winning the game but the Beth any boys played a little too fast for them. Score 3 to 0 in favor of Bethany. On April 27, the boys started on a week's trip, the first game being with Fort Biley, which was won easily by a score of 12 to 5. On the 2Sth, the boys again crossed bats -with the K. S. A. C. boys and lost the game by a score of 8 to 9. The game was a very close one all the way through. Bethany being in the lead most of the time. The Bethany boys played faster ball than the Farmers but were trying out a new pitcher, who allowed them four hits and four walks in the first inning. On the z:uh, a game was tn be played with K. IT. but on account of rain the game could not be played. The next day ClOthj. however, the boys took the scalps of the Haskell In dians by a score of 12 to 7. The feature of the game was the hard hitting of our boys, who got 17 hits off of Haskell's best pitcher, Itapp. At Baker university the boys again bad hard luck with the same pitcher they had against the Farmers in the second game. The score was 10 to 6 in favor of Baker. On May 2, the boys although defeated covered themselves with glory in a game with the Ottawa university boys. Slater was in the box for the Baptists and our boys could not touch him at all. Holm was in the box for our boys and the Baptists could not connect with his balls. The game was a 0 to 0 game up until the last half of the ninth, when the Baptists scored four runs, returning the compliment that our boys paid them when they played at Lindsborg. May lit. the boys were to have a game with Fairmount college of Wichita, but on account of rain the game was called off. May 15, Cooper Memorial college of Sterling sent their team down to Linds borg only to have them defeated in a nice game by a score of 6 to 3.

The soldiers had a good man in the box and the Bethany boys could not do much until they commenced to play the "hit and run game" which put the soldiers' pitcher "up in the air." That night the boys left for a three days' trip south and on May 21 played the Cooper Memorial boys at Sterling. The game was a very nice one as the score shows: Cooper 1, Bethany 2. Bethany should really be credited wdth a "shut out" game and the Cooper boys got their score by the ball rolling under the fence. On May 22, the game was called oft with Friends university at Wichita on account of rain. May 23. the boys played Fairmount'8 team which had two or three profession al players on it and still only lost the game by a score of 1 to 0 in an unfinish ed game. L. Franz, who commenced playing ball at the same time Dale Gear did at Wellington and Winfield, was in the box for Fairmount and In the last half of the seventh made a home run. Taking Franz out of the game they would have been easily beaten by the Bethany boys. May 27, the Haskell Indians came to Undsborg to play two games. The game on the 27 was a beautiful game and ended by a score of 5 to 3 in favor of Bethany, On the 2fth, the date for the other game, it was raining. On ac count of the floods the Indians could not go home and on the ard of June the best and prettiest game that has been Been 7C iA "1 l fMA 'U ml Center field in this section of the country was ilay I ed by our boys and Haskell. In the first inning Haskell scored one j and Bethany scored one and then until the last half of the eleventh inning in ither side could get anything to their credit but "goose eegs." In the last half of the eleventh, the Bethany boys scored one, making the score 2 to 1 in favor of Bethany. The Haskell boys played an errorless game and the Bethany boys played on one error. Victor Holm, a boy of 19 years, did most of the pitching for our boys and although this being his first year in baseball, he was considered the best col lege pitcher in the state. Members of the Bethany team were: Pitchers, V. Holm, K. Peery: catcher, D. Funk: first base. Wm. Miller; second base, Karl Swenson; short stop, S. Ol son: third base, B. Peterson; left field, A.

George Wood ruff, Illinois' new football coach, pre sented a statement on the new football rules today. The former Pennsylvania coach has been an interested reader of the reported changes in the rules, ana while not making a definite statement, he made some pertinent comment on the work of the easterners who are leg islating on the game. The most striking thing about the views of the Illinois coach is the dec laration that instead of making the game more open, as has been the wisn. the rule makers have practically dona away with end runs by the regulation requiring seven men in the line of scrimmage at certain times. Here is Mr. Woodruff's statement: "I have not yet seen a wording of the rules exact enough to warrant an opinion, especially with regard to th? nirtpr back runnine with the ball, t will reserve a definite statement, until I i see the rules. With regard to loss of 21 yards instead of loss of ball as pen j alty for offside play, I consider it a good change. "As to seven men on line of scrim i mage. I consider it a move directly iawav from the direction intended. In I other words, I believe it will lessen ths 1 end running and increase line buckina: and close play. Permission for the i quarter back to run with the ball may i counteract that tendency, however. One thing is certain, next fall will bring fear I and trembling to coaches and players, I because nobody will know just what kind of play will be used by opposing teams until he meets them on the field.'- Salary Limit of $2,000.

The iron horses of the turf are often mentioned and Bar nurn, Logan and Blitzen are frequently cited as instances of a remarkable charac ter in this class, but mention is rarely made of rrares that also tigure as notably as horses and gelding-s in the roll of great turf campaigners.

FLOODS IN THE WEST. Santa Fa Having Much Trouble in New Mexico. The far west is not without its trou- bles. The following "fiood" news is from the Albuquej-riue Jourtinl-Demo- i ciat: "Ihg Liz," as the jrrat decapod, is called by the men along the road, lias left Ias Vegas headed in this riirectj-in. i She will arrive in Albuquerque iinlm; i mayhap she sinks Into the ground and disappears when she reaches some of the soft places aloes the line. i Tuesday niht a fretfrht train running very slowly some distance south of Kt bera proved too heavy for the track, I vhich had been undermined by rains. One car sank and went over on its side. A special was sent down from I. as Vegas, and a big otew soon got the car bolstered up and the track in condition for the passage of half a dozen trains. These passenger trains i from the north and Xo. S from the west t were h"!d for an hour or so. Division Superintendent Kasley re- j ports only one iron bridge, that across the arroyo Pecos, taken out entirely, on 1 his division, but in a dozen other cases the approaches were stHrted or the I bridges shaken to such an extent as to render attention necessary. The Gal- j linns bridge below Las Vegns had a nar- row escape. The water surged against its piers w ith tremendous force, and the j structure was shaken up considerably. Orders have been given to train crews that very slow time must be made through all the territory where rains have fallen. Wherever there is a sus picion of a soft track, the trainmen are instructed to halt until a section man can Vie sent ahead to determine the condition of the road bed. HiiUroadin--! is being done under difficulties along i.em-lv the whole line of the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe trac ks near the pueblo of San Kelip". north of this city, are m danger of Vicing washed out. A biy force of men went up on the work train rind ate now engaged in hauling rip rap stone from near Los (,'errillos to fill in the soft places and keep the waters from encroaching on the embankment. ESTIMATED AT 100 CARS. Santa Fe Lost Much Citrus Fruit by the Flood. San Bernardino, Oal.. June 16. Flood damages to the southern California shippers, the result of recent, floods it Kansas, are being inventoried and par tial estimates have placed the loss sus tained in excess of 100 cars of citrus fruits. These cars were iced in the local yards and the majority of therr contained oranges. Most of this con signment is said to have been destroyed in the company's yards in Argentine. Iv as. Shipment was routed by the South ern California Fruit association. Tha local officers state that it is also be lieved that structural iron and other local shipments have been caught by the flood and lost. The exact facts in the case will not be know n for several days, when the debris will have been cleared away. Much of the dead freight will be recovered but the oranges will be a total loss. COMES TO NEWTON. J. P. McMurry, of Rio Grande Divis ion, Is Promoted. Albuquerque, N. M., June 1H. J. P. Mc Murray, formerly traveling engineer on the Rio Grand division, has just bt'n transferred to the Panhandle division cf j the Santa Fe.

Trn v i eling Kngineer John Koss, of the northern division, has been appointed to till the position on the south en 1 i made vacant by the transfer of Mr. MoMurray. For the time being Mr j Ross w ill have c harge of both divisions. (The new position given to Mr. Mc- -vittrray is in tne nature of quite a pro motion for that popular and competent ofiiclal. as his new division is one of the most important on the system. His friends will be pleased to hear of his pood fortune. CRAZY LABOR AGITATOR. Tried to Incite a Strike Among K. C. Freight Handlers. Kansas City, Mo., June IS. A labor agitator who gave his name as L. M. Hager and said he was a union car penter from Hannibal, Mo., narrowly scaped viol-moo at the hands of the West bottoms tlood sufferers while at tempting to induce the Missouri Pacific freight handlers to go up on a strike for full recognition of their union by the company. At police station Xo. 2, v. here he was taken utnh r arrest, Ha g v tried to grasji a revolver from the pocket of one of the officers for the purpose of killing himself. He de clared that he had done his duty and was reaily to offer up his life in behalf of the downtrodden working man. He appeared to be labelling under great m'-utal excitement and .ei times acted like a man who had been drinking to excess. Hager first appeared at the Missouri force: rooD CO he.

Going from man to man he declared that the time was now ripe for them to assert their supremacy in labor mat ters and asked them to be ready to walk out when the signal was gfven. A number of the freight handlers be lieved that Jdager was authorized to act for the union and promised to obey his mandate as soon as proper notifica tion was received. After visiting- a number of employees the agitator left the building, as he said "to g;et a good dinner," About 3 o'clock in the afternoon he returned. Special ag-ents Lehman and Sturgeon had been informed of the man's mis sion and were waiting at the freight depot for his return. As Hager entered the place and announced that the strike order had been Issued a number of workmen started to obey. Then the detectives overpowered Hager and started with him toward the temporary station. Meanwhile word had circulated among th" reidep.ts of the flooded dis trict in the West bottoms and many threats were heard against the prisoner. People who had lost their all and were depending on freight shipments for re lief were especially bitter in condemn ing the action of the agitator. The detectives hustled their prisoner through the crowd and brought him tie foee Cmnin V.nnis. The captain decid ed that he should be held, and ordered him sent to police headquarters, ah he was being taken to central station Hager attempted to secure a revolver, as he declared, "to blow his brains out." He was again overpowered and locked up. In telling his story to Lieutenant Kennedy, Hager said he had been dele gated to engineer a strike of the freigiit handlers and because of his failure to carrv out instructions was ready to d.e and 'would kill himself before he would admit himself defeated. CANADA'S BIGr TASK. 3,860 Miles of Railroad to Be Built lrom Ocean to Ocean. New York, June 16 Sir Charles Riv ers Wilson president of the (jrand Trunk railway, who will sail for Eng land todav, savs that the proposed ex tension of the Grand Trunk lme through the Dominion of Canada to the Pacific coast, to cost 75 million dollar.-., is now practically assured of success. The enabling bill which will be tn charter of the new road has passed ?.ti the committees of the Canadian parlia ment, and is about to be advanced co the third reading in the house of com mons at Ottawa. This charter i.rovides for the organ ization of a seoarate committee to be known as the Grand Trunk Pacific rail wav with a capital of 75 million dol lars.' I nder this charter there will be built a line 3,860 miles long, extending from Quebec to Port Simpson, on th Pacific ocean, with several branches. While it was originally intended to use the existing lines of the Grand Trunk between Quebec and North Bay, it has now been decided to build an air line between these points. From North Hay west the line will be practically as heretofore mapped out, passing through Winnipeg and Edmonton, and witn branches to Port Arthur, Regina and Calgary. The plan is also being con sidered of building a branch from Port Simpson to Dawson iny, oui uimn in. charter, as now asked for, no provision has been made for this extension. The road will be divided into the Kastern. the Prairie and the Rocky Mountain sections. It ls believed that it will take more than five years to complete the entire project. It is as serted that the new route will provide, the shortest line between London and the far east and that it will also shorten the distance between many places in the T'nited States and the far east, as Port Simpson is about 5."0 miles nearer the ports of China. Vladivostok and Manila than Vancouver or Seattle, and about 650 miles nearer th"" FYan cisco. while it is no further away than these ports from Hawaii, Australia ana other important South sea ports. Frorr. Liverpool the distance to Yokohama will be 310 miles less than by the near est, existing line, and 1.212 miles less than by way of New York and Van couver. It will even he shorter than by the trans-Siberian railway. MAKES TEMPORARY OFFER. N. K. G. Trying to Smooth Over the Flood Disaster. James A. Kimball, of Salina, has re ceived the following letter from H. P. Reddig. president of the N. K. G. railroad comnany: Kansas City, June 8, 1903. James A. Kimball, esq., Salina, Kas.: Dear Sir I am in receipt of your let ter of the 5th inst., describing condi tions in your community as a result of the flood. Your letter confirms the press reports which have appeared from day to day and leaves no doubt that the sit uation is very serious in the districts afflicted by the overflow-. The stricken communities, I assure you, have my sympathy as they have that of every man who can feel for the misfortune of his fellows. Some doubtless have lost in the flood all that they possessed; many have suffered severe financial losses. T presume that the total dam age to property in the counties through which our line runs will be very great. Nothing, of course, can entirely repair this, but I deem it not out of place to mention that the construction of our proposed line will perhaps be an alle- viating- factor in the situation in the townships affected. Our chief engineo estimates that we will expend for labor alone in the three counties. Saline, Ot tawa and Cloud, $303,000; $93,000 of this will be applied to the work in Saline county. $210,000 in Ottawa and $90,00u in Cloud. These amounts will be de voted exclusively to common labor and the hire of teams, extending over a pe riod of from four to six months the coming summer and fall. We shall need all the labor and teams we can get, and our experience has demonstrated thai much better results are obtained by the employment of citizens in the localities through which we pass than by the im portation of outside labor. These facts are submitted to you in the hoDe that when the time comes for your people to act upon our proposition to construct the line of our road through the counties mentioned thev will receive such consideration as thev merit. Yours truly, H. F. REDDIG. GRAFSTROM HAD A PLAN. Might Have Gone to Australia Had He Lived. The Railway Age prints the following obituary notice of Edward Grafstrom: Edward Grafstrom, mechanical engi neer of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe, was drowned at Topeka, Kan., on June 2. Mr. Grafstrom was one of a party of seven men engaged in the work of rescuing the residents of North To peka who were hemmed in by the high waters. The party was on board a gas oline launch, which struck a tree near the river channel and capsized. All were rescued except Mr. Grafstrom, who was drowned. Mr. Grafstrom was a native of Sweden and was educated at Stock holm university. He came to America about 20 years ago and secured a posi tion in the shops of the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona, Pa. In 1S86 he was transferred to the drawing room of the southwest system of the Pennsylvania lines at Columbus, O., and in 1S92 was appointed mechanical engineer. He re signed the latter position in February, 1900, to become mechanical engineer of the Illinois Central at Chicago, but oniy remained with that road a short time, going to the Atchison, Topeka Santa I-e as mechanical engineer at Topeka in i May. 1900. Mr. Grafstrom had recently received a proposition to become me chanical director of the railroads of Australia and New- Zealand, and had the offer under consideration at the time of his death.

This is the second season of the Colo rado Flyer, and Santa Fe officii-ls have taken special iains to make this year's trains equal in every particular to last years equipment. The equipment of the train which passed through here last night was the exact counterpart of that which was used last summer. It consisted of a composite car, a chair car, Pullman sleeper "Merced," and ob servation sleeper "Ren Nevin." When the train arrived here last night it was in charge af Conductor Frank Peers. William Rains, the vet eran Santa Fe engineer, was in the cab. Rains will run on the Flyer dur ing the entire season. The first east-bound train, if it is on time, will pass through Topeka at 7:50 Wednesday morning. There will be no east-bound train running as the F!ye-i today The west-bound train stops in Topeka only ten minutes, but east bound trains lay over twenty minutes, giving passengers plenty of time it which to eat breakfast at the new Har vey dining rofm. Last night's train did not carry many passengers, but as the time for the Santa Fe's heavy Colorado traffic has not yet arrived it was not expected that the train should be overcrowded. RAILROADS WIN. Santa Fe and Other Lines Sustain the Alleged Illegal Charge. Kansas City, Mo., June 16. The quo warranto case brought against the San ta Fe and 12 other railroads to end dis crimination in freight rates was decided yesterday in favor of the railroads by the state supreme court. The suit was known as the reconsignment case and was brought by the state attorney gen eral for the benefit of the Kansas City hoard of trade and shippers in St. Louis. The proceeding resulted from a charge of $2 made for each car of grain ship ped to Kansas City or St. Louis, no matter whether it was to be reconsign ed to another point. The shippers view ed it as an additional switching charge. Since the proceeding was instituted a similar charge has been imposed at oth er points by the railroads and the claim that Kansas City and St. Louis were discriminated against no longer exists. MARKING THE HIGH WATER. Orient Railroad Makes Surveys for Future Reference. Konsas City, Mo., June 16. For what purpose cannot be learned, but survey ors are now being sent alone; the ru'er .'met by the Orient railroad to establish the height of the flood waters. So far as the public Is concerned the surve will serve well to locate high water mark. The assumption is that the Orient intends making its tracks suffi ciently high to meet all floods. The Orient s engineers have eitr slight mark in the land pier of the Hannibai bridge. It will be found two inches above the banc of the third stone ap- peat ing above the surface of the ground on the east face of the masonry. ANOTHER NEW ROAD.

Today is the day of the homeseekers' rates on all roads entering Topeka and ticket agents report a heavv business. A biij business is expected in The east and if such is the case all west bound trains ar riving here tomorrow will be loaded to the guards. All through trains will carry ex tra coaches. Ben Astel, a smith in the Santa Fe black smith shop, has been transferred to the company's blacksmith shop at Albuquer que, iir. Astel will leave for his new home next Fridav.

One was taken out this morning. The engines were found to be in pretty flad shape. The Santa Fe still has three engines in the hole. Division Superintendent McClellan was in Wilder yfsterday for the purpose of in vestigating' the condition of ibe Santa Fe's Leavenworth line. The appioach to the bridge across the Kansas r;ver at tha point was washed out during the flood and has not vet been repaired. It is stated that the bridge wil be repaired immediate ly and the line will be open for traffic to morrow. The news agent at the Santa Fe depot will transfer his stock to the new stand about the middle of this week. The stand is about finished. It is situated Just south of the ticket office and when completed and furnished will be one of the most at tractive stands of. its size to be seen along the line of the Santa Fe. The new- depot is classed among the Santa Fes finest depots and it is the intention to make the news smnd thoroughly in keep ing with its surroundings. GRAIN Ft" EN ACTIVE. They Have liaised 5,000 for the Relief Fund. While the Topeka Commercial club and Governor Kailey have been raising funds for the benefit of the flood suf ferers, the local grain dealers of To peka have been running a little relief bureau of their own. It hasn't been so little either, as Secretary Smiley an nounces that they have thus far receiv ed about $."),(Kifi. A meeting of the local grain men was I held on June S and the following letter was immediately sent out to the variou- grain dealers associations and gram exchanges of the I'nited States from the oflice of K. J.

'We have appointed K. J. Smiley, A. II. Bennett and W. L.

"I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering." Only the weak need a tonic. People are never weak except from some good cause. One of the obscure causes of weakness and the one oftenest over looked is catarrh. Catarrh inflames the mucous mem brane and causes the blood plasma to escape through the mucous membrane in the form of mucus. This discharge of mucus is the same as the loss of blood. It produces weakness. $16.00 Chicago and Retur llfffiililif s Tickets on sale June 141530, July l Final return limit, Sept. 15.

Other contributions have been re ceived which bring ihe total up to about $o,000. The funds which have been raised by the grain dealers will be used to help the farmers, throughout the devastated districts. A meeting of the local deal ers was held again Monday afternoon, and the committee was instructed to write to the local grain dealers throughout the territory swept by the flood in order to ascertain the names of those most in need. "The farmers are the last ones to be helped in a time like this," said Secre tary Smiley today, "and some of them may never be helped. It is not so easy to find out about them, and some who are really suffering will not ask for aid. We prooose to help that class as far as possible."

IHE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., Atlanta. Go. SLPT. SOUTH CAROLINA STATE INSTITUTION. Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents the discharge of mucus. This is why Peruna is called a tonic. Peruna does not give strength by stimulating the nervous system a little. It gives strength by preserving the mucous membranes against leakage. It gives strength by converting the blood fluids and preventing their drain age away in mucous discharges. Constant spitting, and blowing the nose will finally produce extreme weak ness from the loss of mucus.

What has been spared in North To peka by the flood of two weeks ag'i seems now to be at the mercy of van dals who make incursions into the un protected dwellings. Very few North Topeka people have gone back to their homes to live. Every house that can be made habitable is being cleaned up but most of them cannot be locked. Doors and windows shut tight by the water had to be forced when entered after the water went down and the owners have not since fitted them with locks. A few nights ago some people who have already returned to their homes on the nonjh side heard sounds of laughter in one of their neighbor's houses which i had not been reoceupied. Going over to I investigate they found a party of irre- sponsible young men and women oc cupied in reading a packet of old letters which they had discovered while in vestigating the contents of the house. Another man found a jagged holn through a valuable glass door in the front of bis house -where some ruthie? person had contributed his mite to to jreneral destruction so manifest cr-r North Topeka. As yet no thefts of property from North Topeka home have been reported, probably because all the valuables of north side people wer carried to places of greater safety cither l-cfore or immediately after the flood. The police who are patrolling the busi ness street of the north side appear not to be devoting a great amount of their attention to the residence parts. Mv little son had an attack cf whoopin?

The year 1903 has so far been a ree rid breaker for disasters. The Kansas I floods it is estimated have caused a loss of millions (if dollars. Other western states have been damaged millions and the crops so injured that the eventual loss will amount to many millions more. Then following close upon these troubles have been storm damages in O-T.-vgia and South Carolina which will i Purely reach ten millions estimating i wonortv loss onlv. Of course the loss!

t life m the west and Fouth cannot be I ewtoiated in dollars and cents. In addl- tion have been the forest fires through out the country and the injury all alony the Atlantic coast due to the drouth. There Is no way of accurately estimating- these losses, but they will swell the grand total several millions more. Now comes a flood tn Oregon accompanied by an appalling loss of life. The loss of wages due to strikes and the stop- nacrp fif t-ki-rnl it. t rttiorotinno is fllllV as great as the losses due to natural causes. The American people, however, 1 j have plenty of energy and courage to j rally under such alllictions and the will meet and repair all these disasters j so tar as the material loss is eoncernea j PORTO RICO AS AN ASSET. j Porto Rico is furnishing a market of I million dollars a month to the pro duccrs and merchants of the United i States and supplying nearly a million i dollars worth each month of tropical products required by the United States, j The total shipments of domestic mer- I chandise from the United States to j Porto Hico in the ten months ending with April were $!,S44.31S and of foreign j merchandise $218,276, making the total j value of merchandise sent to Porto Itico j from the United States $10,062. 594. The total shipments of domestic merchandise j from Porto itico to the United States in j the ten months ending with April, 1903, j was jx. 744, 427, and of foreign merchan dise $sy,('.';7, making the total shipments from that land to the United States in the ten months ending with April $S,- S3o. i64. In the month of April the ship- ments from the United States to Porto Pico were $y31,r.26 and from Porto Itico to the United States Jl. 919,02;!. These figures indicate that the shipments from the United States to Porto Rico during the fiscal year which ends with the present month will aggregate about. $12,- 000,000, and those from Porto Itico to the t United States nearly an equal sum. These figures of commerce between Torto Itico and the United States are in j marked contrast with those of earlier years. In the fiscal year 1S98. which im- mediately preceded the transfer of Porto Itico to the United States, the exports j fiom the United States to that island j w re $l.r.o,VJ46. In the next year they. w, re $2.t.v.4.s4; In 54,S4U,44'j; in IS'01. $i;.:icr..40s: in 1902. li,S82.633; and, ps already indicated, in the year 1903 will be i'bout $12,000,000. Thus the total shipments from the United States to Porto Pico for 1903 will be eight times as great as those of 19S and six times as great as those of 1S97. On the other hand, shipments from Porto Rico to the United States have grown from $2,414,- ,,r about live times as much in 19u3 as in lN9s.

J. Kdward Cutler, a post-graduate student of Yale, has made a scientific study of lynchings, and here are snme of his figures. The number of persons lynched in the United States the last 21 years up to January 1, 1903, is 3,233. There are 105 unaccounted for in the race table which says that the number of ntgrocs lynched during the period named was 1.872, and the number of j white? 1.2..6. Of the total number lynch ed CI were women. 3S eoi.aeu and 13 white. The most lynchings occurred in the vcars ISSi and 1892, the large num- ,.r in IsM being due to the work of the j Vigilants in Colorado and Montana foi depredations on property. Jn 1893 the I lynchings were ehietly in the south, j Only about 35 per cent of the negroes; lynched in the south w-:e. killed for as- snults on women. During the 21 years j 023 lvm hings were in the west, about I 43 per cent for murder. Since 1892 there j has been a steady decrease in the num- j her of lynchings. Figures on the nuin- l.er of persons put to death in the name j of the law during the past 21 years would be appalling.

California Partridges Are Shrewd In Protecting Their Young. Young birds have been taught a great many things, but there are some feats which they know without instruction. In a large open air cage in the New York Zoological park Is a covey of six California partridges, about one-third grown, and their little bantam step mother. She dozes at one end of the range or walks slowly about, pecking among the blades of grass. The small sextet keep close together, and if we watch them for several minutes we will come to them as their feathers and lit tle bills came from the egg. Unlike the hen, they are suspicious of your ev ery movement, but in a short time they forget that you are not a lifeless tree trunk or oth-r harmless object near their cag?. They select a sunny spot, always on the dead leaves, never in the green grass, and here, after much cud dling and pushing, but never a peep, they squat, usually in an irregular cir cle with heads cutward. Unless there are dead leaves or some similarly col ored surface in their .cage they never settle down contentedly for a sun bath. We watch them nestle close to the ground and close their eyes; then some movement on the part of the hen may attract our attention for a moment and on looking back again we are amazed to find the little birds have disappear ed. It is a fact that if we lose sight of them even for a short time the eye at first refuses to distinguish them from the dried Haves. Thelt: little backs are dull, dark brown in color, broken by irregular fine white lines, very much like the mold lines on fallen leaves, while the lighter sides of the head, in- 1... t tr a nil rnnsniriions. are exactly like the lighter shades of some old leaves, the imitation being more perfect from the fact of the coloring being thus broken up. Even the little brush of upraised feathers in their heads hints of the beautiful recurved helmets of the old birds appear like small, frayed-out pieces of grass or leaf. If wp look toward them with hall closed eves not a trace of the birds is visible. All appear sound asleep and the little heads sag drowsily to one side, but at the slightest noise each black bead of an eye is wide open and six scurrying pairs of legs or rounded, whirring wings carrv their owners to the father side of the cage as if an unfelt wind had sud denly caught up some of the dead leaves before us and tossed them along the ground. It is all a beautiful bit of magic which never becomes less won dei ful' no matter how many times we wooers i-. When we see how wonderfully these little partridges are protected from dan ger by their color we wonder how the mother partridge keeps hidden during her three weeks' vigil on her nest. The male bird is indescribably beautiful dotted and slashed, Ftained and shaded with different tones of color, some of his feathers looking almost like the scales of fishes. His head is decorated by two interlacing white lines and the tall hel met of beautiful recurved feathers, which, added to his black throat, make him a verv conspicuous bird. We find that his little wife, while, to a certain degree, shaving many of his beauties, has them in such subdued tones that they do not make her at all noticeable among surroundings of dried grass and weeds. The young birds are still further pro vided with means of escape from their many enemies, for almost from the mo ment they are hatched their little wing f athers shoot out. and when only a day old they can flutter a full yard into the nir. In fact, I have known one of these hardy chicks to fall out of a nesting box eighteen inches from the floor and some how gs t back alone on the day of hatch ing. Imagine a common chicken at tempting this! Chicago Chronicle. THE SPECIAL SESSION. Some of the Details Leading tp to Proposition. Governor Bailey has been most anx ious to relieve the distress of individ uals, enterprises and communities that have suffered from the Kansas .floods. lie has desired to meet the situation without recourse to a special session of the legislature if that were possible. This is natural for there is a widespread feeling against special sessions. In deed, there is a general sigh of relief when a regular session adjourns and the average Kansas thanks his good fortune that he lives in a state where the law makers, doorkeepers and the superintendent of ventilation come to gether only once in two years. There are nightmare visions when the duly established legislatures turn them selves loose on the state and an additional griping pain with a mince pie effect accompanies any thought of a special session. The average citizen throws up his hands and seems to say: "Good Lord, deliver us." There is no telling what a special ses sion may perform in addition to what it Is called upon to do. There is no power to prevent all sorts of alleged wise and palpably unwise enactments. We are too much given to law making. We need fewer ones, to say nothing of better ones. There has been no insistent demand from any part of the state for a tluod session except from Wyandotte coun ty. The pressure has been the other way. The Wyandotte county people do not urge one for the opportunity of secur ing aid from the state, but solely for the worthy purpose of helping them selves. They ask a session merely for the pur pose of permitting them to vote from $.",00,000 to $700,000 in bonds to rebuild their bridges. Governor Bailey until Monday even ing, hoped that a plan might be de vised which would obviate the necessity of legislative action at this time. He had in mind the issuance by the coun ty commissioners of Wyandotte county bonds to the extent required. He be lieved that the school fund commission would be warranted in taking a suf ficient number of these bonds to insure their complete validation at the next regular session of the legislature. He believed that the Kansas City, Missouri, banks and the large corpo rate interests in the twin cities would advance the money on these bonds and carry them until the enabling act should be passed. Incidentally he happened to meet At torney General Godard and another gen tleman, both of the Topeka finance committee and unfolded "11"' them, at the same time requesting these two gentlemen to accompany him to Kansas City for a second conference with the representative people of -andotte county. The governor desired that as large a number of the executive council as pos sible be with him at the same time, but State Treasurer Kelly was the only member in Topeka. Attorney General Coleman was at St. Francis on impoit ti., ce.ti. in connection ant ousiness io io--- with the Dewey affair. secretary of State Burrow and State Auditor A ells were at their respective homes in Smitn Center and Erie and were delayed by the irregular trains in reaching Topek.t or Kansas City. Mr. Uayhoft was at tending teachers' meetings at some place unknown. The governor succeeded m reaenmg bv wire Secretary Burrow, a ml Auditor Wells', both of whom started for Kan sas Citv Mr. Wells arrived late after the conference. Mr. Burrow failed to make connections altogether. At the meeting were R. L. Marshman, Joseph Butler and James Kilmer, the board of commissioners of yandotte countv. Among others present were A. I Berger ex-auditor of Wyandotte countv Ju'dge O. L. Miller, ex-congressman; Senator J. K. Cubbison; Senator James L Allen of Doniphan county, ex-Senator W. J. Burhan. James Gib son John McFadden, C. K. Wells K. H. Perkins and Mr. James of the Armour Packing company. Governor bailey bigan the conference by saving he was there to use his v ery best efforts to enable the people of Wandotte county to reconstruct then bridges He said he was opposed to collingaspecial session if there were any other' wav for the county to issue tnc necessary" bonds. "There is intense op position "to a special session, said he Wyandotte county is the only countv in the state which asks it. A special session .of the legislature is a menace to the state. Twice in the state's history has it been called. Kach time it was proved that such a measure should be avoided if possible." The governor then stated his plan as outlined above and called upon Mr. God ard to give his views. Mr Godard said he had not examined ,.o,r thoToiiirhlv. but I into tne suujro v, thought the governor's plan might be put into a leasinie, piai io...... proposition with the assistance of the Kansas City, Mo., banks and other cor porate interests. He gave a number of instances where emergencies required the doing of cer tain things, not strictly legal, but which ve?e demanded by the exigencies of the cases and the validation of which was certain upon the convention of the leg islature. Several unexpected obstacles quickly materialized. It was discovered that at one time some years ago Wyandotte "countv had voted $200,000 in bonds and upon "the issue proving iegal, throug.i a technicality, the county had decline, to redeem the bonds, some or which ha J been held br Kansas City, Mo., barks i and their friends. I a careful canvass of the situation', i made in Kansas City, Mo., yesterday by I Henrv Allen, at the request of the gov ernor" developed the fact that the Kan sas Citv, Mo., banks would not advance i dollar unon anv bonds issued under the Plan suggested by Governor Bailey. I It "aio developed that a far larger 'amount of money than the governor i anticipated, from $600,000 to STSO.OM, would rave to oe oteu t- :i kucw m. the brirlges. Tt wc. made plain that the bricL-e statutes do not permit the voting of bonds for bridge construction in coun ties with a population of over 20.000 except at a general election. There will be no general election until November, 1904. It was also demonstrated that the law providing that counties may ex pend in the repairing of bridges au amount equal to the original cost did not cover the Wyandotte county condi tion at all, for the reason that most of these bridges have been utterly wipM out of existence. Where some portion of the abutments remain it was selt evident that in place of these abut ments there should be piers; that th' bridges would have to be lengthened at each end to the extent of a span; thai thev would have to be built not only longer but higher and wider V pro vide for the traffic and insure the safety of the structure. It was also made evident that should the county commissioners issue bonds without authority of law, they would be liable to imprisonment in the peni tentiary, and while it was not believed that the commissioners would actually be imprisoned for taking hold of the emergency in this manner, it was not believed practicable, nor would they take the risks of issuing a half million dollars more of bonds in the absence of law. In brief, the governor and those who accompanied him were driven to the conclusion that the only way out for the construction of these bridges was a special legislative session. The presentation of the case and the arguments and reasons set forth by the. Wyandotte county people were simply invincible and unanswerable. "A special election, even if called, could not be held until 30 davs after the call," said Mr. Cubbison. "In the meantime the largest city in Kansas will dwindle down to a town of 10,000 persons, because there is no bridge con nection with Kansas City, Mo. If, as you say, Mr. Governor, the request is narrowed down to Wyandotte county, the legislature can meet and pass the enabling act in four hours. "We estimate that five out of the eight county bridges, which went out, will have to be rebuilt solely by the county," said the board of county com missioners. "Practically none of the parts of the old structures left standing can be used in building the new bridges." Senator Cubbison said that the special session should not last over a day at the outside. Senator Allen expressed the same view. Each agreed to vote against any bill to give state aid to flood suf ferers, although no such promise was exacted by the governor. "The county will be able to save one half of the cost of the bridges if it has the money right away to figure with the corporations that must rebuild their bridges," said Mr. Buchan. The Wyandotte delegation had ar ranged to drive Governor Bailey through the devastated districts of Armourdale and Argentine. They felt sure the sight would convince him of the neces sity for a special session. Mr. Bailey, however, gently but firmly declined to go. "We have seen enough," he said. "I am fully aware that the calamity left awful results and am fully con vinced that you must have the bridges." The Kansas City Times, in referring to the matter, says: "The bridges are not wanted to help the flood suuerers so much as to enable other people in Kansas City, Kan., who work on this side of the river tn get to their work. The Wyandotte delegation ex pressed the fear that thousands of peo ple would leave Kansas City. Kan., and locate over here if something wasn't done. They want to keep those people over there. They also said that the west side was lia ble not only to lose a couple of prospective factories, but some of the big packing plants that are already there. Bridges are the only salvation of the town. v ithout them the place will lose half its popula tion and property values will go all to pieces, as represented. "It is proposed to build li- bridges, lo cated as follows: James street. Ceiv.ral a Vi cue, Kansas avenue. Twenty-fourth street to Argentine and Kansas avenue in Western Armourdale. On account of the heavy traffic exceedingly strong bridges must he constructed. It is estimated that the five bridges will cost between $r)o,'e0 and $7:i0,(joo. In order to be on the :-afe side the county wants authority to issue f.ro.0uo in bonds. It is barely possible That this amount will not be needed. If the county gets quick action it may be able to join with the Kansas City waterworks and the street railway company in build- i mg joint bridges, the cost to be divided, i 'I am glad this delegation came down j with me.' said the governor. 'They know i what I had to go up against the other day. I will go home, think and confer over -he sub.K ct again, and then make public my decision in regard to the special session.' j "Should other counties wish power grant ed to issue more bonds than they can is sue at present they will make their wants i known to the governor at once. It is de sired to know exactly what business is contemplated before the session is called." NEW WOULD PROBLEMS. To Better the Backward Masses of Mankind. The great subjects that now have most attention in five different quarters of the world are projects for the bet terment of backward masse of man kind. The building- up of the least for tunate people of Ireland, in Russia, in South Africa and in our own souther-i states now engages the wisest men of three ryrent nations. This is a happy change from thoughts of war and ever, from the routine of jreaceful politics. If the long unrest of Ireland is about to end in quiet and prosperity, if the peasantry of Russia be lifted even little and some gleam of religious nivl personal liberty shine in on lon oppressed life there, if the reeonstruc. tion of the British colonies in South Africa g;oes on smoothly, and if the en thusiasm of southern educational lead ers continues to substitute thrift for illiteracy in the backward part of th-.-population these practical movement will all mark definite economic progress of incalculable value; for they will brintr into productive activity a larKe. population that has not yet contributed its share to economic civilization. To these e-reat movements may be added the advancement of the populations ot our island wards in the Philippines and in Porto Rico. If all these populations the Irish tenants the Russian peasantry the Dutch and natives in South Africa the negroes and the backward whites ir our southern states, and the Philippine peoples were brought up to the same level of eflicient life as the masses or men in any of the dominant industrial parts ctf the world, there would be such a gain as it has hitherto taken centuries to bring. They would add to tlie pro ductive classes as larpre a number of workers as the productive classes now contain. For a very small part of man kind are yet the economic masters of the world. Slow as all these large tasks are, and perhaps impossible as some of them are within any measurable period, signifi ce.nt the work of some of the govern ments and of many of the foremost minds of our time is the work of de veloping backward populations. It is the most straightforward effort that civilisation has ever made to extend itself. World's Work. POLITICS AND IJI SINESS. It Is So Easy to Always Charge the former. D. W. Mulvane. in discussing the Kan sas Mutual situation today, said: "I have a policy of J.'i.ooft. paid up. and naturally I am anxious to do the very best I can. I believe the best proposition is from the Illinois Life. It is definite, specific and businesslike and their prop osition only needs signatures to make it binding and make, as I believe, my old policy good." An effort has been made to p'lt great political stress on many action, of the trustees and others who have taken a hand. It is interesting to note that while not of course committed to any action, being a trustee, that Cyrus Ice land and Dave Mulvane. not usually lined up in the same faction, are put in the same political berth.

President Roosevelt Visits Uni versity Founded by Jefferson. Charlottesville. Va June 16. The University of Virginia today entertained the president of the United States and right royally the students of this his toric seat of learning performed their duties as hosts. The occasion of the president's visit was to attend the seventy-ninth commencement of the univer sity which occurs today. Mr. Roosevelt is the third president to visit the uni versity, of which Thomas Jefferson, whose remains lie quite close to the col lege he loved, was the founder. Presi dent Hayes and President Cleveland have enjoyed the hospitality of this truly southern institution, and the warm welcome they received were duplicated in the greeting extended to President Roosevelt today. The president's special arrived here at 11:30 this morning. The Monticello I guards were on duty at the depot and kept back the crowd that had assembled to see the distinguished guest. Visitors have been pouring into the city since yesterday and hotel rooms and teams were at a premium this morning. The president was cheered as he stepped from his car. He was met by Dr. Paul Karringer, chairman of today's exer cises, and a committee of alumni. The party was driven direct to the university, where the exercises were held in the public hall. Here the stu dents welcomed the president. The ad dress before the alumni association, which was first on the programme, ha t been prepared by Judge W. Gordon Robertson, of Roanoke, and was to have been delivered by him. He, how ever, was detained at home by illness, and his address was read by R. Walton Moore, of Fairfax, a member of the board of visitors of the university. Judge Morris then, in a brief speech of welcome. introduced the president. After the applause had subsided the president delivered his address. At the conclusion of the president's address the various medals were deliv ered and then luncheon was served in the gymnasium. Judge R. T. W. Dunk, of Charlottesville, presided as toastmas ter and Introduced the president who responded to the toast the "United States." After luncheon the party visited Monticello, the home of Jefferson, where they were entertained bv Jefferson M. Leevy, of New York, who now owns the j place. President and Mrs. Roosevelt rode there on horseback and other members of the. party went in carriages. The president will leave here at 7 o'clock this evening for Washington. FOUR ARE HELD. Result of Hearinrx in Mahanna Murder Case. In the preliminary hearing of the Mahanna. murder case which was com pleted in the City Court today, four of the five defendents were bound over to the District court. Elmer Mundln, who fired the shot which killed the Mahanna girl, had his bond set at $6,000. The others. Claude Mundin, E. D, Thompson and Cornelius Callahan were held and their bonds fixed at $4,000. Thomas Devlin was discharged, it being clearly proven that he left the neighborhood before the shot was fired. The prosecu tion, assisted by Attorney Joseph Ited, who was retained by the mother of Mary Mahanna. contended that al though Elmer Mundin fired the shot, the other three defendents were within reach of him, and failed to make an ef fort at restraint. The testimony in the preliminary hearing brought out little aside from that given in the coroner's Inquest. NOTICE.

There is a man named Henderson, who lived on North Jackson street, way up near Soldier creek, who deserves a great deal of credit. Henderson did not have a boat, so he could not go forth and do the hero act. But he had a pile of stone near his place, and he proceeded to save the stock of his neighbors. Af ter planting three or four cows and horses on this Ararat he fed them of ten swimming to neighboring barns af ter feed. He kept this up four davs and only one of the animals was- his own. i nn

The report published in New York that Madam Christch and son Milan, whose father was the late King; Milan of Servia, had left Constantinople for the Servian frontier is unfounded. They have not left Constantinople and have no inten tion of leaving. The unanimous election of King Peter is accepted as a definite settlement of the question of the suc cession to the throne. The Servian legation has officially no tified the porte and the foreign diplo mats of King Peter's election. MR. ADAMslviLLINtt. Wichita Representative Not Opposed to Special Session. John W. Adams of Sedgwick county, who was a prominent member of the last legislature, and who has represent ed one of the Wichita city districts in two sessior s, was in Topeka Monday night on his way home from Atchison. Contrary to what might be expected from a Wichita man, Mr. Adams is not opposed to an extra session of the leg islature. "I have Just been over in North To peka," said Mr. Adams, "and the de struction over there is something aw ful. One can scarcely realize it. I have not canvassed the need for a special session, but if the governor thinks one is necessary I think it should be held by all means. I can readily see how a special session would be necessary with all the bridges gone across the Kaw. I am neither for nor against the proposi tion but I think if one is needed it ought to be called. "We are considerably interested in this federal judge proposition down our way," continued Mr Adams. "I think the Wichita bar feels very friend ly towards Chief Justice Johnston. He is a man of great experience on the bench. He is a lawyer of ability, and his opinions are thoroughly sound. It is my opinion that the Sedgwick county bar would, as a rule, favor his appoint ment to succeed Judge Hook." V NDEK HEAVY GUAR D. Three Negroes Are Conducted to Their Place of Trial. Cincinnati.

After using laxative and cathartic medicines from childhood, a case of chronic and apparently incurable consti pation yielded to the scientific food Grape-Nuts in a few days. "From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that I had to use laxatives continuously, going from one drug to another and suffering more or less all the time. "A prominent physician whom I con sulted told me the muscles of the diges tive organs were partially paralyzed and could not perform their work with out help of some kind, so I have tried at different times about every laxative and cathartic known but found no help that was at all permanent. I fla t finally become discouraged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the pre-digested food Grape-Nuts. "Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble, to my great surprise Grape-Nuts digested immedi ately from the first and in a few days I was convinced that this was just what my system needed. "The bowels performed their func tions regularly and I am now com pletely and permanently cured of this awful trouble. "Truly the power of scientific food must be unlimited."

BLUNDERS WERE MADE Informations Drawn by County Attorney Faulty. More of the Cases Are Called for This Afternoon. The Topeka Press club, or rather a majority of those who would be elig ible for membership in such an organi zation if it existed, assembled in' the district court room this morning. The occasion was the trial of the first of the interesting liquor cases brought by the late county attorney, Galen Nichols. Mr. Nichols" however, was not present. He started the ball a rolling and then left for Kansas City. He had summoned the newspaper men before him for some purpose or another and secured some evidence. The deputy county attorneys. Captain J. R. McNary and Squire W. S. Jami son were to conduct the cases. G. C. Clemens and C. A. Magaw appeared for the defense. Promptly at 9 o'clock the exercises be gan and then, for the first time in the history of the court the absence of Mr. Nichols was sorely felt, strange as that may seem. McNary and Jamison did not have a personal acquaintance with the jointists. Neither did the members of the Press club. This gave the joint ists a handicap at the start. The first case called was against an unknown bartender who served liquids at The Palms before that irrigation plant was closed and before the crop was nipped by the frosts. It was ru mored that the man's laundry is mark ed Jack Jones. There was no laundry in the court room and he couldnot be identified. The attorneys for the de fense took advantage of that. A motion that he be discharged wns made on the ground that he was unknown and that the information did not follow- the law in describing and verifying his station in life. Judge Hazen took the motion under advisement. A recess of a half hour was granted and the Press club held a smoker. Judge Hazen returned later armed with a few law books. The meet ing of the Press club was temporarily adjourned. The attorneys for the prosecution and for the defense paid close attention to what the court had to say. Judge Ha zen began: "The supreme court is more technical as to rulings in these cases than in others." The lawyers for both sides smiled. Judge Hazen continued: "Section 472 of the prohibitory liquor law authorizes the county attorney to subpoena witnesses and to take their tetimonv which shall be reduced to writing and signed. The law authorizes the county attorney to file these state ments with the information in the case. What is the purpose that these states ments serve?" That was what all wanted to know. The attorneys gave close attention. "The only purpose of that statement, continued Judge Hazen, "is to excuse the county attorney from swearing to the information positively." The attorneys on neither side coul-i yet catch the drift of the decision. "If the place is described in the affi davit and not in the complaint that is not sufficient," said Judge Hazen. The attorneys for the detense smiled. The attorneys for the prosecution scowled, "If the place is described in the affi davit and not in the complaint that is not sufficient," said Judge Hazen. "If the information is silent as to w-here the liquor was sold the court would im mediately quash such information," said Judge Hazen. "Why isn't the same true with per sons?" asked Judge Hazen. From appearances the prosecution thought it wasn't, and the defense thought it was. "If the information is silent as to the defendant it is bad," said Judge Hazen. The attorneys for the defense grinned. "The first and second counts are bad as they do not state that he was un known to the county attorney". The third count is bad because the county attorney describes the defendant but does not say that he is unknown." The attorneys for the defense smiled. "The motion to quash will be sus tained and the defendant discharged," said Judge Hazen. The attorneys for the prosecution frowned. The Press club laughed. Jack Jones, the unknown, left the court room. Judge Hazen called the case of "tht state against Hayslip." The jury filed into the box and was examined. Squire Jamison then arose to explain that the star witness in the case was the only member of the Press club not present. He left at midnight last night for St. Francis to be a spectator in the Dewey murder trial. He was the only witness who was expected to prove any thing against Hayslip. "I wish to explain." said Squire Jami son, "that Mr. Hayden was personally served with a subpoena but he has gone to St. Francis. i Then Captain McNary explained that i he told Hayden that perhaps the Hay- j slip case would not be called till this afternoon but that he did not give him i permission to go 250 miles away. Judge Hazen didn't see that anything i could be done. The case proceeded and j when the jury had been sworn the pros- j ecution moved that the case be dismiss- ed. Mr. Hayslip objected to this and I his attorneys demanded a verdict as their client was in jeopardy. No testi- mony was presented, as Mr. Hayden had taken his testimony with him. Judge Hazen instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty. That vas done. The Press club adjourned until the Sylvian Kline case should be called and the court and bailiff went to dinner. SUICIDE IN THE CELLAR. y Bank Cashier Shoots tfimself to Death. New York. June IS Fvank Dean. vic?-president of the Seaboard National bank, committed suicide todjy it his home in Orange. N. J. He arose at his usual hour and went into the c?ll-:r where he shot himself in the head. His family advance no reason for his act, but at the bank tha officers said Mi-. Dean was despondent over domestic af llictions. Mrs. Dean htis been an in valid for years and an only son about 12 yecrs, was recently stricken with pneumonia. It was emphatic-ally stat ed at the bank that Mr. Df.m's death was not influenced by financial matters as he was involved in no investments. Up to a few months ago, Mr. Dean was cashier of the Fifth Avenue bank. He was about 10 years of age. OUT OF ANDERSON VILLE. By M. Quad. I was no sooner inside of the An dersonville prison pen as a prisoner of war than the idea of a tunnel came into my mind. At that time the "dead line" was close in to the stockade itself, and the Con federate sentinels on the elevated plat forms on the outside of the pen were satisfied with calling out to a man who approached too near. Tents were al lowed within three feet of the furrow which represented the dead line. A tunnel from 20 to 2a feet long would clear everything. Four of us set up a tent, and that very day we began our tunnel. The ex cavation was made at the back Ji of the tent and a blanket kept at hand to cover up all evidences. We worked only at night, because the dirt had to be carried down to tha creek to be disposed of, and the only tools we had were an old case-knife, a tin plate and a piece of board sharpened for a spade. It was 63 days from the date of be ginning the tunnel before we estimated that we were 20 feet beyond the line. The moon was now full and the even ings as light as day. While waiting for, a favorable night our third man, a member of an Ohio regiment, was taken ill. We cared for him as best we could for a couple of days, when he was taken outside to the hospital. We agreed to postpone our escape for ten days. If he did not return by that time we were to give him up as dead. HIS TRAIL WAS' FOLLOWED FOR SOU10 MILES BY A BLOOD HOUND. It was long after the war before I ascertained what happened him. He mended so rapidly that he would have returned to us on the seventh day, but was unfortunately included in a draft of prisoners for exchange. He had no way to send us word, and we had no list of names, and for many years I be lieved he was one of the thousands bur ied at Andersonville. During our wait of ten days the Con federates came in twice to probe and search for tunnels.but fortunately miss ed us both times. As many as eight or ten others were discovered, however, and a number of men were taken out and punished. The sentinels were cau tioned to extra vigilance, and it was ru mored than any one found emerging from a tunnel would be shot down and the shooter rewarded. Y'et our greatest danger was from our fellow prisoners. A man named Sharon, who belonged to a New England regi ment, in some way got a suspicion thai we had a tunnel, and one day entered our tent and announced that if he was not allowed to escape with us he would stop our going. We attempted to bluff him off, when he made a straighi course for the gate, presumably to ful fil his threat. He was not permitted to go far be fore being overtaken and charged with attempted robbery. It would have gone hard with him had we pressed thj charge, but we dropped it with the un derstanding that he should keep his mouth shut regarding us. From tha? hour he was kept under surveillance by two men hired by us, and was no-, permitted to go near the gate. Perhap:'. he would not have carried out hifl threat, but a prison pen brings out th. baseness in human nature very fully. It was three da;'s after the trouble, with Sharon before the weather became favorable, and we had not taken any body into our confidence. Nevertheless we argued, as we had done before, tha'. if a doen or more got out the chancer of escape would be increased. We wait ed until we saw that the night was to be dark and drizzly, and then we passed around among such acquaint ances as we felt could be trusted ana invited them to call at our tent at fi o'clock. Each thought he was the only one invited, and each believed he wa:i to be let into a plot to overpower the guards and free all prisoners. At exactly S o'clock my chum crep into the tunnel, and I followed. Not more than ten minutes later wc emerged from the hole outside of tha stockade and set off into the darkness. If those who followed on had been as cool and cautious as we. all would have gone well with them, but an incident occurred to unnerve them. Six others had wriggled their way through the hole when the relief guard came march ing along so close that one of the pris oners cried out and brought detection to all. Of course, an alarm was raised, the tunnel discovered and all further e-scape cut off. The escape of the six greatly favored us, however, as they scattered in dif ferent directions, and none of them was recaptured for two days, while one went as far south as Albany. At 3 o'clock in the morning the man Sharon heard of the tunnel and sneaked away and gave information at the gates. It was at first believed that over 200 prisoners had escaped, and the wildest excitement prevailed inside and out. It was not until 7 o'clock in the morning that the true number was discovered, and then the Confederate force at hand was too small for a vigorous pursuit of all. My chum afterwards told me that his trail was followed for some miles by a bloodhound, and that twice he caught sight of pursuers on horseback, but 1 had no reason to believe that my own trail was ever picked up. By the time the six who came out after us had been recaptured we were well out of the neighborhood. The tele graph was no doubt used to notify various points to look out for us, but that did not? result in our recapture. My fellow prisoner was twenty-seven days in reaching the Federal lines, while I was thirty-one. Of more than 200 mn who at one time or another escaped from that prison pen not more than ten ever got clear off. We were two of the ten. Luck assisted us here and there, but success was real ly due to the fact that we knew- the geography and the topography of the country, had our route carefully planned and neither of us traveled a single mile except under cover of darkness.

He docs not look with favor upon the ascendency of Speaker Pringle. in Osage county poh l.cs. and the tight for supremacy will tome ini mediately if Pringle goes into the congressional race and asks for the support of Osage county in the con-S-e-ssional convention.

T II K KANSAS CK01 01TL00K L. Cortelyou, President of the Grain Dealers, Talks About the Prospects. At.-hison. Kan.. June 16.

'1 he average Kansas; corn crop is about 27n million bushels. The excessive rains of the past two months made conditions bad for co. n i.l some parts of the state. "Much corn was washed out of the yiound by the rains and overflow s."sa i.l Mr. Cortelyou last night. "A large por tion of this acteage is beinK replanted. About la or la per cent of the entire c irn acreage of Kansas will not be re planted, howevei To raise an SO pe-' vent crop we must not have too mch dry weather, nor too much moisture, and we must not have early frosts. In fact we must have favorable weather until fall to raise corn." Mr. Cortelyou says Kansas will raise between so and 1.0 million bushels of wheal this year, which will make the crop a full .average one. Wheat look well, he says, and has not been serious ly damaged in any way. Murderers Surrounded. Glasgow, Mont., June-16.

These applications have been filed from time to time since the announcement that tents would be pro cured and since yesterday, when it was announced that the village would soon be ready for its inhabitants, many o these inquiries have been repeated. Mr. Stagg this morning ventured an esti mate that 1.000 people would take tents if they could get them. NEW APPLICANTS. Where ail these people are now stay ins, and have been staying; since the flood, nobody knows. Many of them have kept off the hands of the relict' and shelter committees entirely up to the present time, waiting only for the. tents to be made ready. Undoubtedly many of them have lived with friends, who are unable to shelter them Ion?, but have in this manner lent valuable assistance to the general relief work. Men have come to the officers in charge, of the Auditorium headquarters, say-inn-: "(live us beds, a few chairs and ,i stove. We'll take care of oursol"en then, but we've got to have something to start with. A little furniture is all we want, and we can jset houses som-;- w' hf 1 e." People with this spirit have been readily aided by the relief committee. and it is believed that several hundred familbs. after securing- a few dolars" i worth of household goods, have entirely j withdrawn themselves from the support of the public. A lot of this sort of peo I pie, unable to get houses, will accept j the offer of free tents in the fair i grounds. During the past two weeks ;sevtral churches, among them the First j Cumberland Presbyterian and the First 'Christian, have sheltered many peopli. I On Kansas avenue and in many of the halls upon the side streets hundreds ot I families are living in halls, unused of, I flee rooms and store buildings. At the Santa Fe shops a dozen or more Run. jsian families, whose men work for th- company, are now living in an unusej sh"-l i Considering all these people who will i have to leave their present temporary shelter, the estimate of the relief cotn mittee as to the probable number of th.. tent villagers does not seem unreason able. On the other hand there will b I many of the better class of people, now j homeless, l'or whom the idea of living 1 in the fair grounds will be very repug i nant. They will remain there the short. i est time passible.

The work' of un loading and taking account of the hin ment of tents from Fort Kilev occupied all the morning. T.ieuTenant Cowles and Police Officer Mcintosh went over the shipment together.

This afternoon Mcintosh, with a dozen men from the police department and 1 street force, is pegging and ditching 'Ik t. ins while the people who have for the last two weeks lived in the state tents on 1 the pouthitt tract are preparing to move into their more comfortable quarters.

Inserted in the upper i skirt is an undulating band ot lace, and above this is a festooned arrangement I of the material caught with spravs of orange ilowers. l.etween that and the shirred yoke and fitted empiecement of lace are motifs of the same applied here and there. Hevond the shirred yoke arid waist collar is a lace bolero held in place bv bretebe-like pieces of flower decked mousseline. The sleeves have the appearance of being dropped from an angel s wing so lignt and airy are they and above the elbow meet a very earthly cuff of shirred mousseline. A tulle veil edged with a narrow border of lace and a small wreath of orange blossoms ought to make a girl one of the daintiest brides of her dav. This bride will rarrv a large bouquet made up of as many smaller nosegays i as she has bridesmaids. When the cere j ninny is over she will cut the ribbon which holds the bouquet and give to each fair maid her share of the flowers. Hidden in one of the little posies is a j heart shaped ring of precious stones. and she who finds it is sure to be the next bride of the group, i But enough of the bride.

This sum will be di vided equally and $2.0o,V will be devoted for each use. If more money is required the understanding is that the commissioners will find more of the general relief fund at their disposal. EWEM WON'T GO BACK.

When court convened today the de fense placed I)r. J. M. Kash on the stand. Ho testified that be saw Jett on the walk at the corner of the court house yard ten seconds before the shots were tired. He went directly to Mar rum and assisted in carrying him across the street into his office, where he died in five minutes. Commonwealth's At torney Iiyrd cross-examined Dr. Kash but did not shake his story. Dr. John Taulee, the Jlargis family physician, corroborated the statements of Dr. Kash. County Judge James Hargis, an uncle of Jett and the laputed head of the Hargis faction, was next called. Hargis stated that he saw White walk out of i the court house door and was one-third across the street when the first shot was fired. "When I heard the first shot I saw Kwen pitch otit of the door and run. i. then saw Marcum fall. I came to the dor hurriedly. I saw Judge Blanton approach the wounded man. I saw Jett approaching' the scene of the tragedy. My recollection is that I saw Dr. Kash approaching about the time the last shot was fired; I am not cer tain as to the exact time. "Light Noble and Sheriff E. Callahan were in my store at the time. I was looking toward the court house when the shots were fired. I diil not see Kwen !ok in the hall, when the first shot was fired. After the killing I sent for Ewen. or Callahan sent for him." Hargis stated that he did" not know who killed Marcum, as he was not "in range with the hall." In response to interrogation HargH explained several possible exits by which an assassin might have escape 1 from the court house. Cross-examined by Attorney llyrd, Hargis said he saw nothing unusual in White's action when he came out of the dor. "Diil yen oo Jett anywhere when the shots were iirod?" "T saw Curt." "Answer my question." said Mr. Byrd. "Xo. T did not see him." After a few more questions Hargis 1 was excused. A JUNE WEDDING made up for Trouville wear.

Fresh testimony in great quantity is con stantly coming in, declaring Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds to be unequaled. A recent ex pression from T. J.

Final limit returning September 15. There is another new frock adorn ment used extensively on more elab orate costumes. It is formed of appli qued medallions of lace sewed on the fabric over a contrasting color. These medallions are in all shapes and sizes, in conventional square, round or oval patterns, and used as strips and three cornered pieces. They are disposed all over the dress or applied at the sweet will of the modiste. It is very neces sary for the good effect that a bright color be used under the lace, particu larly when a thick variety is applied, otherwise no contrast between the gown material and the underlying silk is obtained. Buttons are playing an important role this summer, and the latest whimsical ity is to use on a frock an endless number of the kind having four holes, through which is seen the bright silk used in sewing them on. For ex ample, a black and white check shirt waist suit piped with a color preferably red or green and buttons of the piping tone prettily distributed about is quite the newest touch. The other night I was at the Come- 5? die Francaise. where we have all been going to see "Les Affaires Sont les Af faires," by Octave Mirabeau, whose latest production has been spoken of by the critics as "the biggest play of modern times." His characters are drawn from life, but the play's not the thing for me, and should I continue I might be tempted to take upon myself some of the Impertinences of the dram atic critic. Well, what struck me at the play in the women's toilets were the dainty little bows they wore in their hair. Of course these butterflies have been in evidence a long while, but not j Hog Feed Cheap. 5 We have several cars of corn meal and corn which were more or less damaged in the railroad yards, but suitable for hog feed. We wish to dispose of it at once and can promise you a bargain. It will be sold out as soon as possible, so call us up by tele phone or come and see us quick. The Topeka Cor. Crane and EVERYBODY READS the especial butterfly kind of colored ribbon so fetchingly disposed on pretty locks. How the Parisienne does love to decorate her hair! And there is method in my lady's fashion, as her tresses are mighty apt to be neither long nor thick and bows are admirable for concealing these defects. The smart woman now carries a jew eled key attached to a chatelaine or worn in some individual manner. It may open her ladyship's escritoire or jewel box, and even if she has nothing more valuable than a secret to hide the dainty key bears evidence of the fact. From the entirely useless to the prac tical is but a step, so let me ask you to come with me to the shops where the ready made skirts and waists dwell and there contrive an impromptu frock. If black or white is your heart's choice much may be done in the way of harmonizing. A canvas perhaps with a dainty linen shirt waist, a natty tie and a distinctive buckle, will, with a little "editing." remove all trace of the ready to wear garment. The French m'lliners place on their large black hats white plumes and are having them tinted a warm, becoming cream, which does away with the un sophisticated blue white ones of tradi tion. The long handled parasols have brought in their wake walking sticks, and many smart women are seen carry ing them. These will give the papers something fresh to talk about and the men material for some new satire on their eternal subject woman and her ways. CATHERINE TALBOT. The Jew Bisti. The hand bags are still with us, and the new ones are even daintier than ever. One of the smartest is of gun metal with a fringe of crystal. It swings from the waist or is held in the hand by a string of pearls. A bag the Parisians think particularly chic is made of bright red morocco leather with gold mountings. It is ridiculously large, but is gay and attractive looking, and holds in a comfortable fashion a quantity of small things, such as hand kerchief, powder puffs and parcels. On'many of the lightest and daintiest parasols are to be found handles of bog wood, both carved and plain, and on the darker ones will be seen exquisitely wrought ivory handles. The old fash ioned carriage parasol of French or thread lace is again very fashionable, and it is quite worth one's while to hunt around in the treasure chest for any thing it contains in fbis line. Extremely odd and pretty are the long handles of jet and those of steel. Indeed, everything in the parasol king dom is fascinatingly lovely this year. The SoefetT Hand Shnke. Everybody shakes hands with some body, but only people who are doing so every day know the fashionable hand shake. The day of the high hand shake is past, and a more graceful hand shake is in vogue. The hand is extended from the waist line, but not too far; but, as one authority expresses it, "with a mere suggestion of restraint." When the hands meet there is a gentle movement to the rirht side of the person who ex tends the greeting, then back to the original position, the hands tinclasp. and the ceremony is over. It is much more refined and graceful than the shoulder movement which characterized last season's fashion. GIBLER'S PHARMACY Milling Co. j Adams Streets. 4 THE STATE JOURN Sill A.

One of the latest novelties as trim ming for tailor made gowns is suede, undressed kid skin. It is used in the bands, also for revers and long stole ends and is sometimes stitched on in a contrasting color. The newest belts are of embossed suede, ornamented with enormous steel or silver buckles, which set them off to perfection. Ml I I 1

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. JTJNE 16, 9 A C01IEDY OF LOVE. Luoinda ami Eunice- Ransom were sis ters, and they lived in an old white house which had belonged to many gen erations of Ransoms. Ic looked straight out on the Dawson place and to watch the (ioiMcs out end comings in o the Dawson folk had been Lu iniia'a great Interest in life for the last fifteen years. For l.ucinda was a cripple and her interests were few. She and Kunice iere good types of the New England woman. They were both stiff, reserved n 1 strong natures, fond of each other In a o-id, self contained fashion, honest an i truthful, but hard on sinners and re.ipioua in a painfully austere manner. Eunice had the weekly distraction of Chapel, an occasional tea party at a te-.tihbnr's, the excitement of sewing bers and the great annual picnic also be had the care of the ramblinK. lux uriant garden and the large roomed old houie. Hut between Lueinda and eter nal monotony tle-re was only a strip of road and th Dawson back garden; the frarden where the endless comedy of lit tle things was played out daily, this fardn watched by Lucinda from dawn to sunset. '"Kunice" Duclnda's tone was sharp with interest "Patience Dawson lias had her bau with her all this while well, siri'-e supper, anyway." The crip ple did not turn her head as she ad dressed hr sistr, all her attention be ing focus'-l on the two dim shadows in til' pardon opposite the girl who was sitting on the step at the back door, the ti", hfavily built boy bending over her, T.cr, Luoinda w hat an interest you do take in the Dawson lot." The other's voice had a certain good humored con tempt in It. She moved backward and forward with heavy tread putting the parlor tidy. She was a large woman of about ";.ri, a few years the elder of Lu cmda. l.ucinda, flushed all over her thin, jinohed face. "Weil, it you sat here all day," she began weakly, "you'd be mighty glad of somei hir.g' to look at, and think about. 1 guss." Then, with a sudden change c? tone and manner "My gracious, Kunice. h.- kissed! I saw him." "Weil, if 1 ever did, L.ucinda Hansom, "Why, yen are just as excited as ever you ran lie and over what? Just thai s::!y leiwson gitl and Abram Morris youinr fools both." The voice was hard. Lev to Kunice was only anoth-r word for f'w.hshness. and she had all tile un ine.rri -d woman's prejudice against the prtTtv folly fit' courtship. To her puri X i'.'.ea! chancier there w-as something aheriM indecent in the eager way her i--.r-f.-r was wat-hip.g the lo rs. and she s- ii on tin- first xctise to light the i;ti lamp and to draw J.vn the l,l::vl.

She ended h-r long speech with a pathetic, half nervous laugh. "Never let me hear you speak like this n-.ii.n. or I shall think you have gone crazy, I.u. inda Ransom." The el l' r sister spoke with a rare rush of Indignation. Tin other in lined h-r h.ol urid- r the storm of words, that follow :d, but a faint smile hovered around h-r bps, and she frit in some dim fashion that she had gone more into th- h-art of life than her practical, bustling sis ter. ai:d her me k spirit took comfort. i; '1 i grew 1-arned in the story of Use. ;,,-d she p-air.od to appreciate far mor- than the tovers themselves the de-ln-at. n.ysteri-s of their moods.

As the autumn progn ss. d, sharp-tongued Kunice used to glance over her sister's shoul der and make brisk comments. "Th. re there goes Miss Emm right Into the house, see? She's begun to make the clothes. I hear that Patience said she would come out a bride in chapel in brown silk with white ribbons and have a bonnet, with pink rosebuds. Well, Miss Emm is a real good dress maker. Tell me when she goes, Luein- da. I don't mind if I ask her over to tea one of these days, so that you can just have a talk, as you sorter take such an Interest. Eunice smiled at hr sister. Wedding clothes and wed ding cake were tangible things, and matters for discussion different, in deed, from the silly walks of two sweet hearts in a moonlit, shadowy garden. The days wore on and the wedding day was fixed. Duclnda's. eyes got quite strained with watching the garden. Each day it i seemed to be becoming more and more a spot of holy ground. The deepening mystery of love enthralled the poor watcher, even coloring her shrunk cheeks with the faint pink of suspense. Then quite suddenly the blow fell. An uncle died unexpectedly In New York, leaving Abram Morris most of his monev. and Abram had to start straight away for the big unknown city. Lucinda's heart bled for the lov ers She watched their long, lingering parting, her heart thrilling over each farewell kiss, which yet seemed only the prelude to another, and when the two had nnaay qunaeti luk hot tear rolKd down her cheek; a tear hastily brushed away lest Eunice should see it and inquire into the cause. -fter that evening the picture book lost color True, i'atienee used to come and wander about a iittle in the still ness, flitting ghostlike in her white dres but l.ucinda always felt strange lv tired and sad after watching her. The girl's restless yearning for her lover infected the elder woman, and she, too, longed ardently and impatiently for Abram's return from Xew York. One night, just one of the first coll nights of November, Kueinda. w-atched Patience dash down the back doorstep and run into the garden. The gill had twisted a red shawl round her hean and shoulders and in the cold gray of twilight her face looked ghastly. Her eyes were reil ar.d h-r lips quivering; siie clutched a letter in her hand. There was something tragic in the poor, pretty little face, and old Kueinda felt her own heart beating furiously and wildly. She felt, she knew, that things were going utterly wrong, and that lov was proving a traitor. She watched the young girl pace up and down the gar den like some wild thing caged, and her heart ached for her. Darkness at last bill Patience from her, but dark ness brought little sleep that night to Kueinda. "So that Dawson girl cot the mitten last night. Abram ain't ever coming back from New York fancies a girl there now." Kueinda could have screamed as Kunice spoke out bluntly and cruelly, adding with her harsh, strong laugh, "There's an end to your love story, eh, Kueinda? What lit I tell you about love anil moonshine?'' "Patience is not false she's true and love will always be with her I mean love's memory. Kueinda stiffened all over; then she moved herself and spoke: Kunice laughed and looked at sister seriously. The winter fled awav before spring, and Kueinda still watched garden. All her warm pity and her the the her delicate romance hail srnthered itself round Patience. She followed the gir! whenever she appeared with eyes of worship, for she represented so much of her. The small, peevish face, the fretful walk, the languid nose all 1 this meant love, fond, unrequited love. And then oh. the pitiful comedy of I this romance of a garden just when m-r, just when a thousand sweet and mer. just when a thousand svvet and fragrant odors began to perfume the air and the flowers to be brave with color Kueinda at hes watch tower saw Patience enter the garden but not alone. The squire's son. just home from coll-ge. was with her. and she had dressed herself again in the mantle of. maidenly coqueiiy and was playing, but with more art and finish, the part of the heroine, her old part. Kueinda shivered. These smiles, these blushes, the man's ardent look, the girl's dainty tremor the garden's trag edy was being repeated. "That's Pati-nce's new- beau," said Eunice, carelessly, looking over her shoulder, "and she won't let him slip through her fingers, 1 guess." "Pull down the blind," cried Kueinda, and th-re was a note of strength in her voire that Eunice had never heard be fore. She pulled down the blind, grum bling that it was still quite light, but Kueinda hardly heard her for Kueinda was asking herself in a vague, terrified fashion where all the breathing, ardent love that the green garden had witness ed had gone.
