"It has been said by this witness that Alpheus was a p-a cable citizen." "I don't think that stealing is an act of violence," said Judge Hamilton.

From th' testimony introduced at the Dewey hearing Monday" afternoon, it appeals that the Perry boys had a very playful way of taking a potshot at the Deueys and their friends every time the opportunity offered. ine day in August. 1.2. Nees Olson, agent for tiie Peeves Thrashing Ma chine company, went to the Alpheus Kerry ranch to take possession of a bunch of horses wliich his firm cla imed under certain forfeited "cattle paper.' They had already taken possession of a bunch of cattle the day before. With Olson were W. IT. Carpenter, a Marion attoiney, ("'has. P. Burnham, sheriff of CVn yenne count y in Pi'i2, and J. T. Shoit, df puty sheriff of Rawlins county. They were provided with the necessary legal papers, and proceeded to round up Vt'lson the bunch of horses. Kaon nu mber of thru party told his ex perr nces to Spe i rial Mast-r Clad Hamilton. W hile th y were rounding up the horses, tliey saw the three I'.erry boys b.te tiie house, mount their horses, and 'ride away toward some timber about a third of a tc.i'e away. After the three i men ha I ilisapp eared in the timber, five i shots from a Wineta ster were fired at the parly which ivas trying to take the horses. The shots came from the tim ber w here the three men disappeared. They ail came- uncomfortably close to the (iiri'i't, but 'lid no damage. Sheriff Kurnham says of this en counter: j "Up to that time T had rather been Inclined to sympathize with the lierrys. I had he n obliged to serve papers both for !ln in, and on them, about every two i weeks prior to this incident, and 1 had I come to believe that they were being pel Scented. Well, w hen those fellows shot at me, I '.vent l ight up to the i house, and I called out. old man Kerry said. T don't see why your boys (are taking a shot at me. 1 have always beer your friend, and I don't like this i busiti'-ss of being shot at.' The oid man replied that if it was his boys who had been doing the shooting, they were not I shooting at Kurnham. but at Olson, the thrashing mm nine man. The next day, the oid man told me that it was his boys who did the shooting, but that they thought they were shoot ine at I some of Dewey's riders, and not at the shei iff." j This mark of friendship for Dewey's riders s-'ems to have been reciprocated I by the riders. Nees Olson testified as to a statement which Alpheus Kerry imade to him. Alpheus wjis the oldest son. "I have been shot at by Dewey's men several tinn s." is w hat Alpheus Kerry said, "anil I won't stand it. We will get even with them some way. If we can't get justice any other way. we will take the law into our own hands, and see if something don't happen." At another time Alpheus Kerry was talking the matter ovn' with Olson and isaid: "There's that MeKride: he ought to he killed on general principles." W. T.

Pa., June 30.- The breaking of a shaft on the first floor of the Heinz company's plant in Allegheny released the ropes supporting a large freight ele vator on which 23 persons were crowd ed. The cage fell from the fifth floor into the cellar, a distance of 45 feet, and every one on the elevator was injur ed. It is thought at least two will die. THK INJURED. John Churney, probably fatal.

The Young America was being con strueted for the purpose of fltttng boys to enter Annapolis and to give them the advantage of travel and life aboard ship during their preparatorv oourse-. The cost of the vessel was to be $150,000. Its promoters claim to hase had this amount subscribed but that they had been unable to collect. CUP YACHTS RACE.

They Are in Operation on Oakland Line. The effort of the city railway to run the new Vinewood trolley cars on the Oakland line to accustom the conduct ors to the use of the air brakes has met with no end of difficulties. First the car stuck in the mud which was piled up at the side of the track. Then it was found that a pole was too near the track, and again the car v.-as stalled, but today all the obstacles have been removed and the cars are being used with little trouble. MATED.

Whitemore, for four and a half yejirs chief clerk for the secretary of state, resigned his position today, and has accepted the place of chief account ant and manu&er of the state printing; office Secretary of State Burrow has ap pointed as successor to Mr. Whitemore, K. A. Cornell, who has been serving in the position of charter clerk since .May. Mr. Cornell came here from Kensington, Kan. W. G. Dickey, who has been manager of the slate printing otlice under W. Y. Morgan, will in the future devote his attention to the Jansen Manufacturing company, of which he is president. The Jensen company has a large and rapidly growing business in the creamery sup ply business, and conducts its business at its factory on Jackson street. For some time Mr. .Dickey has been doing double duty, trying to continue his work at the printing otfice ami at the same time look after the business of the Jen sen company. His retirement from the printing office has been expected for some time. It is further announced that Mrs. I. M. lievier. who has been chief clerk at the state printing office under Mr. Mor gan, will probabvfr;e- vV.Min i short time, and her place v-,i o taken by a brother-in-law of tiiafs l'i inter Clark. Mrs. Bevier has arranged to take a po sition with the Hague Investment and Mining company. Aside from these changes, the present force at the state printing office will probably be allowed to remain as it is. T. B. Brown will be retained as fore man of the printery. and George Tinch er as foreman of the bindery. It is natural that with the retirement of G. Dickey. State Printer Clark should turn to Mr. Whitemore for a successor. Mr. Whitemore served a.3 chief clerk for Mr. Clark during Mr. Clark's whole term, or two terms, of office. He is a thoroughly competent man for ail kinds of clerical work, and j in his new position will be given the added authority w hich comes with the management of the entire state printing j establishment. Secretary of State Burrow said to- I day: "Mr. Whitemore retires entirely of his own free w ill. We would be glad to have him stay here as long as he wants to. There will be r.o new appoint ments to replace Mr. Whitemore, and till up the force. We have hrfd an ex- i tra employe here for some time. It is i not definitely decided who will take the place of charter clerk which is vacated by the promotion of Mr. Cornell. Some of the people now in the office will look after it temporarily." This is the last day of W. Y. Morgan's term of office, and his retirement vir tually occurred this forenoon. He went around to all of the employes of tiie printing office and bade them good by, and turned the management of affairs over to the hands of his clerks. Mr. Clark has not yet formally taken pos session, anil probably will not do so until Monday. For the rest of the week, the printing office and bindery will be (dosed while repairs and improvements to the building are in progress. WASHiSOWSQN. M. L. Willard Saw a Boy Hurt by a Car.

Mr. Madden explained his letter to the officials. It is understood that he ex pressed regret at having acted tastily and repudiated any intention of rVtlecl ins; on officials of the department in connection with published criticisms of the contract. Mr. Madden had nothing to say for publication. Milwaukee, June 30. Evidence bear ing upon the postal investigation came to light in the Milwaukee postoffioe to day. Stored away in the basement is a big pile of Groff fasteners that were sent to Milwaukee for some unknown reason and without requisition about fourteen years ago. There are twao and one-quarter tons of the fasteners in the basement of the federal building wdrich will probably never be used unless they are shipped to Washington. None of them has been used. They came during the early years of the late Postmaster G. W. Porth's tnrnt. No one ordered them, so far as it has been possible to ascertain. There w is no use for them. There are 1.300 sets of fasteners, e-ich set weigh ing three pounds. The government paid, contract price. SI. 25 per set. There is also stored in the basement a lot of galvanized iron mail boxes that are made in Michigan. They were received about two years ago without requisition. ROUGH SEA TEST. Reliance Proved Her Worth in Heavy Weather. Newport. R. I., June 30. The new cup yacht Reliance proved her worth as a heavy-weather boat when she detent ed Columbia and Constitution in a stiff easterly breeze and lumpy sea over a 30-mile course, 15 miles of which was a beat to windward. Reliance sailed tne course in four minutes nine seconds iess than did Columbia and four minutes ;,S seconds less than Constitution. All racing in which these boats nave participated up to this contest has been in light airs and smooth yvater, but Monday afternoon there was a good breeze blowing and considerable jump to the water conditions that are ex actly suited to the Columbia. With her owner. E. 1. Morgan, at the helm, the old cup defender sailed a grand nue, reaching the windward mark only one minute 56 seconds astern of Reliance and one minute 31 seconds ahead cf Constitution. On the run home, however. Reliance pulled away steadily from both her op ponents, while Constitution gained con siderably on Columbia. Captain ilarr sailed the new sloop for all there wa.-t in her, and gave her rigging and spars a thorough testing. Twice he wore ship when maneuvering for the start and on each occasion a gust of wind heeled the craft down until the wat ;r ya3 nearly up to the hatches.

MEADE PROMOTED. Made One of the Chief Engineers of Santa Fe. Within the next few days several im portant changes will take place in the Santa Fe engineering department as the result nf W. B. Story, chief engineer being transferred to California. C. A. Morse, chief engineer of the eastern grand division, is to succeed Mr. Story as chief engineer of the system and Mr. J. M. Meade, resident engineer for the Santa Fe with headquarters in this city, will succeed Mr. Morse as chief engineer of the eastern grand division. Mr. Meade will continue to have his head quarters in Topeka. MR. J. M. MEADE, Chief Engineer Eastern Grand Division of the Santa Fe. About a week ago when it was learned that Mr. Story was to go to California it was stated that he was to have charge of the building of some new San ta Fe lines in northern California rnd that he was to be out. there for only a short time. It was also stated that Air. Morse was to act as chief engineer of the Santa Fe during Mr. Story '3 ab sence. It now appears that the changes are to be permanent and the appoint ment of Mr. Meade to Mr. Morse's posi tion helps to verify this general belief. No successor to Mr. Meade will be named and it is stated that the posit'on of resitient engineer is to be abolishe I and the yvork of that office is to be covered by some other member of the engineering department. J. M. Meade, the new chief engineer of the eastern grand division is an old resident of Topeka and is probably as well known as any other railroad man in the city. Mr. Meade began railroad work as a chainman on the Baltimore Ohio railroad in the early sevenl ie.-s im mediately after graduating from col lege. From the B. o. he went to the Cincinnati Southern railroad as assist ant engineer and then came to the San ta Fe. Mr. Meade has held various im portant positions in the engineering o partment of the Santa Fe for the last 30 years. His headquarters have been mostly in Topeka. Mr. Meade's home is situated in the northwest part of the city on the corner of Western avnue and Crane streets. XftflNTCuFFFOUHD. It Is Rlood Stained and Identified by His Wife.

Detailed Figures Show Acreage and Condition. Mr. Cobnrn's Ofiicial Report Is Most Satisfying. Official returns received by the stat board of agriculture state that Kansas this year has, in spite cf floods and ex cessive rainfall, the biggest and b-.-t wheat crop in its whole history. Corn, however, is in bad condition, and crops in the river bottoms ar mostly ruined. The following is the report, issuni Monday afternoon at 3:30 by Secretary F. D. Coburn: Reports of correspondents from w?'t nigh every township in Kansas to ins state board of agriculture relating w the growing crops, based on conditions existing June 20, summarized, indicate that the area of winter wheat that wiU be harvested aggregates 5,709.45 acre, or 94.6 per cent, of the total area sown, and the general average condition cf. this on the eve of harvest is j-9 r.-'r cent,, calling 100 an entirely satisfac tory condition. Besides rating high in the more prominent wheat produce!., many counties with lesser acreages re port correspondingly high averasr thus indicating that wherever there i.i wheat to harvest its condition is ciu te uniformly excellent. At approximately the same stage in the plant's develop ment that year, the general average condition of the state's winter wh-a'. in 19t'l was h'2. on 3.24S.547 acres. wrT'-'.t bore the largest crop in the state's his tory. This year's area that will be harvested, much of which is now cut. is greater, and its average condition svn points higher. Weather condi tions for the past ten days have b'.i favorable for its rapid reaping. N. threshing as yet hns been done, and it is too early to definitely determine quality, but with few exceptions hr? and there the heads are reported a well developed and filled. Cool, wet weather delayed ripening, and to that extent harvest is correspondingly !at,- beginning in some of the more southern counties only last week, while the har vest for the state is three to four weeks, backward. Conspicuous for their high condition are Scott county, 103 per cent.; Th: catur. 103: Lane. 102; Phillips. 12 Sheridan. 102; Smith. 102; and Kinn-v, Greeley, Meade. Ness, Norton.

Assessors' returns of acreage from counties bear out the estimate of th board's correspondents last fall, that the area of winter wheat sown th-'il was to 4 per cent less than that from w hi- h the p.102 crop was taken, are! th-se offi cial figures substituted for the prelimin ary estimates in their resp.-, tive coun ties make the state's total area sown 6.031,422 acres. J--por ting .at tier in the season, the piospc t. was repi esent-d as almost perfect, but the same n -respondents now say that 5 4 per enr, or 321.937 acres, has been so damaged from various causes that it will rrot b-- cut. Hy far the greater pnrt of this is i.i the flooded districts, and the injury wrought in most instances is directly r harg' d t- high water and eemtinuou (x--,!v w etness, increased in some lo' a lines by rust, Hessian fly. and weeds, the iarrer tw o particularly causing a cons idra hie proportion of the reported damage, es pecially in fields' where seed was sown on stubble ground.

As a whole, however, it would seem that Kansas is reaping a prodigious wiat crop, and every energy is now hen -ling to safely place it in shock and stack. The spring wheat area is compara tively small and confined principally to the northwestern counties, as usual, ani its general average condition is 95. CORN. The situation as to corn has been most complicated. Much of that planted ear ly, probably 33 per cent, was repianfd. necessitated by the superabundant rain fall, washing out of seed in places, te- deep covering and rotting in others, and weeds where too wet to cu!tivf tQ. That of the first planting which withstood adversity, and has been properly culti vated, is well advanced and prospering. On account of the almost incessant rainfall, however, all farm work has been much delayed, and by far the greater part of the corn was planted la.te (mainly with listers), being finished only within the past week. Correspond ents estimate the total area planted to be 6.374,335 acres, whieh is less than last year by 616.429 acres, or 9 per cent. Th condition for the entire state is 73 3 per cent. Recent warm, sunshiny weather, favorable to growth and cultivation, has put the ground in excellent tilth, and late planted seed promptly germin ated.

Manufacture of the Precious Metal a Near Possibility, It Is Claimed. "The highest reach of human science," said Prof. Edwin J. Houston yesterday, "is the recognition of human ignorance. That is a quotation from Sir William Hamilton which I am usintr in my new book. It means that there is nothing new under the sun. The so-called dis coveries of Profs. Crookes, Lodge and Curie of the break-up-ability of atoms is not new in theory. It has long been believed by scientists, but it has been left for these three great men to provji and demonstrate the fact that Sir Will iam Thompson, Lord Kelvin, long ago announced as a. belief or theory. "I have no doubt whatever," he con tinued, "that gold can be made if the split atoms or elections can be separa ted and recollected. In fact, nothing is impossible under certain conditions. Let me tell you something -which X believe w ill soon-r or later be shown. All mat ter will ultimately be traced to a uni versal ether. That is going even further than others have one, but you and I may live to see more than we dream of." The discovery of which Prof. Houston was talking was the. demonstration by I "rot's. I'rookes, Lodge and Curie, made a few days ago in London, that the odd theory that the atoms of ilements con sist of indivisible units of matter must la nceforth be discarded. Instead, it is now detinitely shown that each atom is a whole stellar system of infinitely smaller but absolutely identical units, all in orbital motion. A hydrogen atom consists of TOO such units or ions. Lord j Kelvin .some years ago called them sput 1 atoms, or electrons, and referred to the condition as eleotro-tonie. Tile nature j or identity of every substance depends upon the number of such ions making each atom. Thus, H.l.eO ions in each j atom will produce what is called oxy- gen. and 1 :!7.i!i 0 ions, if combined in a single atom will produce wliat we tall j go I. i That is what Prof. Houston meant j win n he said that if the split atoms, or electrons, could be recollected that is, recombinod gold could be made. The! nature of these ions is, for want of a bett-r weal, electrical. In other words, el-ctricity and matter are one and the same thing. j Tiie theory, a? Prof. Houston says, is j not by any means new. but until the Roentgen rays suggested and radium I Were employed actual and complete proof was not available. Pmf. Houston i has for seme considerable time past de- 1 voted much of his time to experiments j with radio-active substances, and he has no doubt in his own mind but what the world is upon the eve of some discov- j erics wliich will revolutionize scientific j beliefs and acceptations.

Declares Herrmann Is Under Johnson's Influence. New York. June 30. If President Herrmann, of the Cincinnati baseball club, carries out his threat to boycott the New York team when it comes to Cincinnati, plans will be formulated at once to expel his club from the Na tional league and place Buffalo in the organization instead. New York, Bos ton, Brooklyn arid Philadelphia will support President Pulliam in the stand he has taken in the Davis case. They will tight any attempt of Herrmann and President Hart, of the Chicago Nationals, to compel Pulliam to resign. President Pulliam said this afternoon that he has no intention of retiring and will not change his decision in the case. In discussing the prospective fight to day, Harney Dreyfus, president of the Pittsburg club, said: "Mr. Pulliam did right in declaring Davis eligible to play with New York. Davis signed a con tract tr play here this season, and New York can rightfully claim him. Herr mann had better he careful or bis club will lose its standing in the National league." Secretary Ikc. of Pittsburg, said: "Mr. Herrmann is evidently under the intluence of Han Johnson, and is being led astray by that wily machinator. It is a peculiar situation when a promi nent National league magnate is twist ed around like so much putty by the president of a rival organization. It looks to me like disloyalty. I don't think Mr. Herrmann fully understands the situation and has been misled by Johnson. He is disappointed over the showing of bis team and has been led by Johnson to think that President Pulliam is working against him by penalizing his players so often." Pulliam said last night that he' had not received any official complaint from Herrmann. Kven if he does, he added, he win not take any action on it until the American league tiles a similar complaint. When asked if Buffalo would be substituted for Cincinnati, lie merely said: "Future developments will determine that." ARE SPORTS TO BE THROWN O'Keefe Speeding Westward With a Charge Over Him. San Francisco, June SO. Through fall ing out of Jack O'Keefe and his man ager. Sig. Halt, a sensational story has been made public. Yesterday afternoon Alex. "Ijeggains had a telegram from O'Keefe that he was about to leave for San Francisco, and to do no business with Hart. Later another wire came with Hart's name at the bottom, which read: "O'Keefe coming to San F"ran cisco on bis own hook. Intends to Hop to Fritt. Look out for him." O'Keefe could not be located, as he was already on the train, but Hart gave his story mine in detail by saying that O'Keefe was thins; of the game, and wanted to make one big clean-up before leaving the ring for good. He said .further that lie had a hard task to keep O'Keefe fighting at Uutte. and insinua ted that a deal was on there whereby the Chicago boy was to "lay down" for ?3.0tl(i. The local men say that Hart's claim looks like pique at being left out in the cold by a boy who is lust about to be come valuable in the fighting world. Britt certainly thought he had an easy game when lie left here for Butte, and it is altogether unlikely that he had anything to do with any offer of such a sum, as the story of a xirevious light at Portland did not warrant backing of O'Keefe for that amount of money. Britt has a clean record in the fistic game. HART'S STORY. Chicago, June 30. Jack O'Keefe is speeding toward San Francisco with Ihe serious charge of "faker" hanging over his head. In plain words, Hart asserts that O'Keefe is bound for San Francisco for the plain purpose of "laying clown" to Jimmy Fritt. the California lightweight, who fought -'I fast rounds recently with the, local man at Butte, ilont.

O'Keefe has been regarded as one of the most prom ising and at the same time one of the squarest lads among the local ring sters. Hart declared today that he arrived only in the nick- of time to prevent O'Keefe from "flopping" to Britt in the recent battle. "'When I heard last night that he was about to start for the west I hurried to the depot and caught him. He said: 'What's the "Use of fighting on the square when you can make money easier?'

Chicago, June 30. Continued failures to win with Sarah Maxim led Owner C. K. Mahone to dispose of the filly in a peculiar manner after the fourth race at Washington park track yesterday. The filly was in a cheap field with only SM,s pounds on her back and looked like the ready money. Time and again she had been in just such soft spots only to lose through bad racing luck and this time Owner Mahone thought she was where Jockey Phillips could keep her from interference, and so he tried to get even on all of his losses, backing Sarah from S to 5 to 7 to 5. Then the race' was run and Mahone saw the filly finish nowhere. As his stable hands led Sarah from the track Mahone met them at the paddock gate and ordered the filly led on to the grass plat in front of the club members' annex to the grand stand. Then he cried aloud: "How much am I offered for this handsome dog? She is well bred, of perfect conformation, but cannot outrun a famished policeman, through a dark alley. No guaranty goes with her, but I am here to sell her. I paid S1.S50 cash for Sarah as a yemiing and since then she has cast me f'ti.u00 trying to make her win. Now, again, how much am I offered?" Nobody had ever seen such an occur rence on a race track before and they waited breathlessly for replies from Ma hone's pleadings. Suddenly J. c. Strode in a jt king way bid 1300 and before he had time to catch his breath Mahone had knocked the filly down to him for the small bid. Strode was almost knocked off his feet, as he did not be lieve Mahone would sell Sarah Maxim for any such figure. "Come and get her; I'll throw in the halter," said Mahone. "I wouldn't lead her back to the stall for $300." Strode took his new purchase in charge, but before Mahone could make out a bill of sale Strode resold the filly to Jack Phillips for S450 and unless an other transfer is made soon Sarah Max im will continue to remain in the Phil lips barn. HE TAKES TO THE WOODS. Jeffries Has Fled to His Camp from the Public. Pan Francisco, Cal.. June 30. Jeffries, Billy Dt-Ianey and "Kid" Egan left two clays ago for Harbin Spring's, in Lake county, -vheie the champion will bein his training-. This place Is a great cen ter for hunters and tourists, but it is fully eighty milt-s from Pan Francisco and it is very difficult to g-et to. Jeff likes it, howt ver, for these very reasons, as he isn't bothered with visitors. Fitzsimmons has also left for Harbin Spring;?. IJ.j expects to be?in boxing with Jeff at once. The champion Kts ugly whn- he is put: on training diet and Delaney was affaid to risk him at Kl Campo, where s warms of visitors would have besieged his training- quar ters every day. Joff hates visitors look ing at him. and it was probably wis dom on his part to take To the woods. Corbett i training hard every day at O roll's gardens. He has been on the stage so lcn that stranire faces in his training quarters don't bother him at all. He is a glutton for work, but he is In such good shape physically that there is no danger of his getting stale. Tn fact, he is in much the same condi tion as Benny Yanger, who is able to light at a week's notice. Corbett shows his strengtn most plainly in the way he throws around the giant Yank Ken ny in wrestling. Those who box with him regularly, like Sam Berger, say that he has a stiff punch, much harder than one would imagine from the f.use with which the blow is clelivcred. Iler ger is a crnck amateur heavy weight of San Franeisro and one of the clever est boxers of the Corbett type who has appeared here in years, yet Corbett hits Rerger when he pleases, and in duck ing and avoiding" blows shows all his old-time speed. THE KEI7IIWORTH TRACK. It la Sold at Auction to S. S. How land, of New York. Buffalo-, IsT. T., Juno 30. The Kenll worth race track, on Main street, just outside th" c-ity line, was sold at auc tion for JlOn.non. The buyer was Attor ney W. C. Perroy. of New York, who r,.pi-es:ented S. S. Howland, a steward of Ihe Jockey club. Mr. Howland is a brother-in-law of Auerust Pelmont. president of the Jockey c-luh, and is supposed to have the Belmont wealth behind him. There was only one other bidder. Tlnd MeMahan. the Buffalo bookmaker, and he dropped out when Percey raised his offer of $100,000. The Kenilworth track was built last summer and a meeting was held in September at which some hish class thomughbrwls raced. Georse Han kins, of Chicairo, the famous gam bier, started the enterprise, but it was so badlv managed th'-it it wound up the vear $130. 00" in debt to contractors and horsemen. P.ecently it was put in a re ceiver's hnnds. The acquisition of the track by Jockey club interests assures a first class meet ins here and also means that the grand circuit trotters will not have to skip Buffalo this year, as it had been feared they must. COEBETT WAS BLOCKED. Champion Featherweight Failad to Punch Briggs Out Boston. June .10. Young Corbett of Denver, champion featherweight of the world, won the decision over Jimmy Brig-gs of this city in their ten round bout at the Criterion club last night. Corbett was unable to put Briggs away, as the Boston boy met him at every turn and bv clever blocking and foot work managed to stay the limit. Briggs never lost his head, no matter how fiercely Corbett forced the fighting, and bv avoiding mixups kpt himself in a safe position. Corbett rained vicious rights and left swings at close range, but Briggs bv quick ducking got out of their aim" and retalitd by hammering Corbett's body. Corbett had the ad vantage in weight by several pounds. He became desperate in the last round and swung wildly. In the tenth round Cor bett went in to finih his man, but Briggs' straight left jabs brought blood from the western champion's nose. Eacing at New York. Xew York. June P.O. The heavy rain converted the track at Sheepshead. Bay into a quagmire and mud runner were in great demand. The rain also caused washouts cn all roads leading to the track and as a result only a small crowd was in attendance. The Bay Ridge handicap, the feature of the card, was won by Blues with Herbert second and MoonDaisy third. Bules got off in front, and, making all the pace, won ridden out. Big Winning at Chicago. Chicago,, June 30. Track records suf fered a triple break at Washington park. Hargis, in winning the miie and a sixteenth race, cut the old figures half a second, making the new record 1:43. Golden Rule, lugging 131 pounds in the highweight handicap, made the six ami a half furlongs in 1:19 2-5, one-fifth of a second better than was ever done before at Washington park. Semper Vivum, in the last race, reduced the track record for seven and one-half furlongs from 1:33 2-5 to 1:33. Sidney C. Love ran his field dizzy in the first race, at one mile, and made the distance in l:3S3-5, win ning from Epicure. Hargis' effort was too good bo be true to the majority of horsemen, and the race was commented on as the prize tip set of the meeting. Last time out, Har gis, with less weight and the same dis tance, finished last in a big field. .Mon day afternoon he came with a rush at the end, and if driven out might have equaled the w-orld's record. The Drake-Gates contingent gave the ring a memorable drubbing through t'.'e victory of John McGurk in the fifth race. Drake and Gates each bet per sonally $10,000 apiece at S to 5 the odds closing at 3 to 2. McGurk came with a rush at the end and beat Gold Bell a neck. Record Broken at Cleveland. Cleveland, June 30. Lou Dillon Mon day afternoon broke all records for a mile-to-wagon for trotters going the distance in 2:04. The race was at a matinee of the Gentlemen's Driving club at Glenville track. The horse was driven by her owner, C. K. G. Billings. The I race was made with the encouragement of a runner, which went ahead about j five lengths, and which maintained that j position until the three-quarters pole. The mare had been going like a veteran all the distance. At the three-quarters pole the runner was pulled to allow Lou Dillon to come up alongside. The stretch was entered at great speed. The 1,500 spectators who had been timing the mare at the quarters had become ex cited, as the watches indicated that all records would be broken, and as the trotter passed the stand, arose en masse. The mile was made in 2:04:U, the horse finishing and seemingly ready to cover the distance a second tim?. The new record beats that made by the same horse two weeks ago, 2:061i. In a later race Mr. Billings drove The Monk the fastest mile credited to any gelding this vear. 2:0V Fractional time: 0.21, 1:04. 1:331. -:oS. A run ner was used to pace The Monk. Missouri Valley Figures. Kansas City. June 30. T5ie official batting and fielding averages of the Missouri Valley league, which have been compiled on all games up to June 1 bv President D. M. Shively, show that Johnny Kane, the Pittsburg outfielder, is leading with the stick. Only six are batting over .300, and Kane's averagi; is .3t;s. One reason assigned for the small number in the .300 class is the severity of the scoring. Sehrant, Se dalia backstop, and Wood, the Spring field catcher, are tied for first place in fielding honors, with percentages of .IMS. Stueke, of Springfield, leads th first basemen, with .'.'si. and Henley, of Iola, tops the second basemen with .929. The first place anwmg the third basemen goes to Lee, of Sedalia, who has .aSS, and Fillman, uf Joplir, has the highest figures of shortstops. .010. Fhanks, of Nevada, and Brown, ot Springfield, have the excellent record of .1000, neither having made an error up to the time of the compilation of scores. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, June 30.

A decrease in the tu t carmiisrs of the Santa Fe railway for tin iast ear has led the more timii to suppose tiii'a is a possibility of that road tain unable to continue the pay ment of ui idetids on its common stock. A mote cart ml examination of the tacts wiil show that there is no imme diate danger of a cessation of these payments. Th.- amount of interest charges ahead of the pref erred stock at present against the pioperty may be taken at per mile of load. Dividends on tne pn f tied stock appear to call for a lurtuer sum 01, say, 30'aa per mile, niak ia.e; interest chare,, s and pieferred divi de.'! :s tonetiier JOC.a, which tor safety may be laced at $2,i0o. Taxes and rentals make Slice additional. Thin makes for hist chaises, including taxes and preteired dividends, S-i.eiiu per mile. liv blends at 4 per eent. on the common will call lor another Sjiio per mile, mak ing .Ti'.inii. This is the amount that ihe company must pro ide from net eanu ins if diviiiends on the common tire to be continued. Sinking funds on the de. ben tu res call lor approximately ?:M0 per m:l'-, brinttint; the total up to $3. Kid. Maintenance of way will 110 doubt re. ea:: Jt'cii p( r mile on a safe annua! averaee. The Santa Fe has a Rood deal of miieajre that does not require very expensive maintenance, but to be safe; t ike the total requirements p.s stated. Maintenance of equipment on the in. f.Uory at pi t sent owned ought not to take in excess of $r,,00U.ei as a maxi mum. This would be. say. $700 a mile, (doneral expenses at S-f,0 per mile are ample. This makes a total of $1.S00 pei mile for maintenance and jfeneral ex penses, excluding conducting transpor tation. The latter item will probably not absorb more than HI per cent, of Kfoss earnings in the fiscal year jus-, ending, and it is probably safe to reck on I'l per cent, as the t-ciiiuaaiien'.. From this it appears that $4. am) per tnile is tilt per tent, of the total gross earnings per mile required to pay all fixed charges, including sinking fiui.l, all preferred dividends, all common div. tdends and full maintenance charges oi the prop' 1 ty. The indicated amount of gross earnings, therefore, is something 1-ss than $7, ami per mile. Let it be re tut nab red, however, that this include provisions for the payment every yea f SJ.riro.Oi'O in retirement of funded debt. The appropriation for this pur pose, while it is, no doubt, a strict re 'iiitienient of the mortgage, is never, theies.s tantamount to an appropriation of income for the improvement of tliT pioperty. Therefore, with $7,000 pe. mile gross earnings, the Santa Fe could beyond doubt pay the present divideni on the common stock and set aside a sum of money equal to 2T2 per cent, additional out of earnings for the re payment of c-R'.iital. The gross earnings per mile of th Santa l-'e for the current fiscal year will in all probability be in the neighbor hood of $7,.U0 per mile. The Santa Fe onst quently could stand a reduction of 10 per cent, at the least from the pivsent gross earnings per mile with out having any difficulty in paying the dividend on the common stock. Jt could probably stand a reduction of l-'2 per cent, and still take care of everything, including sinking funds. HIS ACCUSER APPEARED. Santa Pe's Attorney Answered to the Call of J. C. Stubbs. The demand of J. C. Stubbs of the Hariimati system that the accusers of the Hion Pacific road face its repre sentatives before the Interstate com nieree commission was answered, when iardiner I.athrop, as the representative of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad conn any, appeared before the commission and took a prominent part in trying to prove that the Union Pa cific had been allowing F. H. Heavy Co. rebates on grain at Council Hluffs, Iowa, and Kansas City, Mo. Attorney Lathrop announced that he desired to answer the insinuations made by Mr. Stubbs as to the actions of Vice Prefudent Paul -Morton in instituting this investigation. He said Mr. Morton was out of the country when the inquiry was started and called the insinuations unwarranted and reprehensible. He then began the cross-examination of J. A. Monroe, freight traffic manager of the I'nion I'acilie. who told of the ar rangements with the Peavey concern. He admitted an agreement by which his road pays to the 1'eavey concern at ''('until Hluffs and Kansas City, Kan.. l' cents per lno pounds of grain loaded into Peavey elevators at those points. This, he said, amounted to $6 25 or $7.7.0, at cording to the capacity of the car. This tit rangoment. he said, was wotth while for the railroad company, hut was not remunerative for the elevu. lur concern. Frank Ik ft'ellinger, member of the partnership of F. 11. Peavey Co.. said la- eoimi.'i-i'c.l th" H4 cents payment a fen son; 1 ble compensation. W. I.'. Riddle, freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe system, said the 114 (.tits p r Phi pounds was practically a 1. bate for the teason that it was tiint'e than a it isonable price i'.-r the service rind-ted and the effect of the arrange m n; w as to disc! i 1 11 i n a t e against com p tin it l.i.-ois. Me said the Santa Fe paid $J a (i'r. or H2 cent per I'm) pounds, f. r b avii a; its grain handled by Kan si s City t l.o. a rs. W. C. Slid, t I'M flic manager of the Miss.uiri l' oijie raiiroa.., said his com I was unable to have its grain ban tiled hy coVators in Kansas City for less than th i.i ii- paid to 1'eavey Co. by th" i'nion patitic railroad. He express ed the opinion that the charg" was rea sonable and ninth more economical thar, ti a nsl'arring grain by shovel. The la aring w ill be concluded today.

ROCK ISLAND THREATENS. Says It Will Maka,, the Permanent. $8 Rate The retention of the passenger rate of ?S between Chicago and Minneapolis-bt. Faul teirnory was made a factor 111 1 lie contest, in the. Western Passenger associati m rniie aft bitieau by the declaration of the Keek Island that if the resolution to adopt me northern mihage bureau ticket was pusn- d against me piotests. of that line the cheap L hirago-St. Paul passenger rate would become a permanent thing. The members of the mileage bureau, w hich is an adjunct of the Western Pas ?ei:gtr association, met for the purpose of col sidering '.he resolution adopted by the xecative committee of the association sev eral days aj-o providing for the substitu tion of tiie north mib age bnrt-au's form of icl.r 1 which is good on trams, in place f the certincate in use in western terri Lory. 'ihe Rock Island and one other line voted against the adoption of the resolu- 1 tic-n and the meeting of the bureau mem- b. rs adjourned. Though this action amounted to a failure of the bureau to agree to the change, the contest is not at tin end. The statement of the representa- tive of the Hock Island, made a part ot the rt cord of the meeting, is taken to in.- dicate the attitude which that system will occupy toward the Western Passenger as- i soeiation tititl its several Vmr'nus. The at-; titude will be one of complete independ-: 1 iitr. Since the Keck Island witnorew irom the Western Pasenir association it has been a fiii inlitr of the milt age bureau and of the clergy bureau and to a certain ex tent carried on its immigrant business through the western immigration bureau. In the statemt nt yesierday this situation was referred to by the Rock Island repre sentative. The effect of the action taken yesterday and the announcement of the policy of the Reck Island must tie determined by later d vclopme nts. The situation is complicated and the result made harder to forecast by the fact that some of the lines which are the largest users of mileage tickets are earnest advocates of the new plan. IS IT INDEPENDENT P Western PaciSc Construction Com pany Incorporates for 50 Millions. San Francisco. June 30. Referring to the incorporation under the laws of Nevada of the Western Pacific Con struction company with a capital stocit of $50,000,000. the Bulletin says: "The purieose of the corporation is to undertake all the construction of lhA Wfsfvn Pacific company, which is pro jecting the Beckwith pass transconti nental line to Salt Lake. "It has been insistently stated that j the Gculd millions are back of the new road, in order to make transcontinental connections with the Gould lines at Salt Lake, the Denver Rio Grande being one of the properties. There will be no delay in building a roadbed and. laying tracks on the surveys, which are proceeding on their way to Salt Lake." The incorporators of the new com pany i.ro Jaraeit H. Swift, of the Pa cific Paving company; K. H. Harmon, secretary of the Harmon Lumber com pany: M. Tt. Maynard, secretary of the Pacific Paving company; O. K. Mc Murray, and. J. Sadlier. None of the incorporators are known to have affiliations with any railroad. BOOM TOURIST BUSINESS. Railroads Now Working for Business to the Pacific Coast. Pacific coast lines have commenced an active campaign to induce summer tourist travel toward the Pacific coast resorts. Representatives of the railroads I in the transcontinental association as- j sert that there was a noticeable increase last month in this western travel. The establishment of new summer resorts and the operation of old ones have been made a feature of the western roads during the past few months, and has j contributed to the large increase in the number of travelers who have sought j the Pacific. Several lines have reported gains in June of westbound traffic 50 to 75 per cent over that of previous sea sons. HOW TO GET ACROSS. That Is the Problem Which Confronts Rock Island at Dallas. The grading of the Rock Island road into Dallas, Texas, has been completed up to the tracks of the Texas Pacific. The crossing controversy between the two roads is still acute, the Texas it 1 Pacific having placed obstructions on ifs tracks where the Rock Island wants to cross, near the end of one of the side lines where the Atchison tracks connect with the Texas Pacific. If the Rock Island has any intention of crossing the Texas Pacific to con nect with the Atchison, these obstruc tions will have to be removed by force, or ity legal proceeding. KILLED THE FIREMAN.

WILL BEAT ALL (Continued from Page 1.) conditions found June 20, the average for the state probably might now be safely advanced several points, owing to the improved situation since that date. Dividing the state in halves diagnoally from northeast to southwest it is seen that most of the counties north of such division have either maintained or slightly increased their corn areas, ex cepting a few of the larger wheat pro ducers, while the counties south unani mously report more or less decrease in acreage, barring a few exceptions In the west.

In the aggregate. was approximately the I same as last year, and fejr the state at large the prospect is trost promising for an evcclhuit yield. Practically all the j plrntirgs. however, on the "bottoms" in the potato growing section, especially in the Kaw river valley, where potato raising is a learling inelustry, have been destroyed by the flood, and scarcity of j seed will prevent replanting to any j j marked extent. This includes a large per cent of the potato land planted for commercial purposes, and, derlucted from the state's total, will considerably reduce the present actual acreage. Gen eral average condition for the state on the area now growing is 83 per cent. SOKGHFMS. Interest in the various sorghums has been unabated, as indicated by the re turns from all portions of the state. The estimated area in Kaffir corn is about the same. Owing to wet weather, ex tending late into the season, the area that would otherwise possibly have been devoted to this crop and Indian corn probably will be sown to the saccharine sorghums, as the estimated increase in i the latter makes a total of 570.749 acres. The combined areas of sorghums for forage and grain aggregate 1.331.724 acres, and the average eonditioti of that now growing is 82. Keports indicate that a considerable per cent of sweet sorghums is yet to be sown. ALFALFA. Continued interest in this wonderful plant is evidenced by the increased acreage, an annual occurrence since its introduction. General average condition 90. althougn the progress in many fields sown last fall was temporarily check ed by the late spring freeze. The first cutting in older fieids yielded heavily, but was delayed by wet weather. Coun ties having highest conditions are: Mitchell. lo5: Rice. 105: liush, 105, Hodgeman. 102: R.ooks, 101: Cloud, 103; Barber, IOC); Miami, loO; Osborne, 100; Smith, 100; ranging down to 70 in Cher okee. PASTURES, GRASSES AND LIVE STOCK. Probably never before throughout the state have pastures and grasses sur passed their present excellence, vigor ously responding to the favoring con ditions, affording abundant, luxuriant grazing and assuring a bountiful yield of hay of finest quality. All tame and native grasses arc tlourishing, and pas tures in the grazing section are report ed the best in years. No disease -among live stock is reported prevalent, and all seem to be in a healthy state. From their enforc-d rest and sumptuous ra tions, work animals especially are in unusually excellent condition. OTHER CROPS AND FRUIT. Rye, condition, 89; broom corn, 90; bavley, 92: castor beans, S7; apples, 35; peaches, 30; grapes, 42; cherries. 39. Wrhile individuals whose lands are adjacent to streams which recently overflowed, their banks have suffered se vere losses, it should be remembered that the devastated area is but a small proportion of the whole, comparatively insignificant, and outside the "bot toms" inundated the general agricul tural situation is promising, although the season is extremely backward. REPORT FROM WHEAT COUNTIES. The outlook in the leading wheat counties is summarized as follows: Barber Practically no wheat dam aged, and it is now being cut. All crops are excellent. "Wheat, oats, rye and al falfa never in better condition, and corn has a good color and is growing finely." Soil in good condition for tillage. Pas tures and forage crops never better. Oats increase probably 100 per cent. Barton Wheat on a large area prom ises well, but much of that sown on stubble ground will not be cut, probably in ali about 3 per cent.

Mrs. F. Desaulmiers, 341 Dor chester street, Montreal, Canada, writes Peruna is of untold blessing to women. Peruna builds up the en tire system and makes you well. I have the greatest faith in it, for I have never yet found it to fail either my family or myself in I'me of sickness. I have known it to cure cases of chronic catarrh and 1 stomach troubles of long standing. We do not need a doctor as long i as we have Peruna." Mrs. F. Desaulmiers. For the most acute cases of dyspepsia and the most chronic and stubborn cases of catarrh of the stomach Peruna is an unfailing cure. Mr. E. E. Ouston, of Milton, Iowa, in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, says: "My wife has been sick with stomach trouble for almost three years. "During that time we doctored with three of the best doctors in this part of the country, but they did her no good. She fell off in flesh from 134 pounds to 80 itciunds, and was unable to do any. thing; in fact, was confined to her bed a good part of the time. Everything she ate she would throw up, even water.

Strawberries, delicious enough for a mil lionaire and cheap enough lor a beggar, appt-ar on every table, and it is no i.-s.s profitable than pleas-ant to eat them. l'or strawberries are a cure for rheumatism. It is a well known fact that Linnaeus, the great naturalist, by eating an abun dance of strawberries, cured himself of rheumatism. It is also a well known fact that -strawberries have been considered an excellent household remedy fur rheumat ism for many years. Now an Knglish chemist cornea forth and, analyzing straw berries, prows them to contain saliclic aeid salicylic acid, the remedy for acute rheumatism, that physicians have been prescribing generally sine 1S3S. The stra w berry, from time immemorial, has been considered a remedy for rheum atism among the people of America and Kngland, bvu Knglish and American phy sicians have inclined to .sneer at the cura tive properties of the fruit. By scientists the strawberries' claims have been de spisedhave been considered as on a plane with the claims of. say, sulphur and mo losses to purify the blood, of ?age tea to conquer colds, and of peppermint water to relieve dyspepsia. Now, however, that sa!iclic acid, the grnt rheumatism spe ciric, has been found in the strawberry, it is ncn'Sj-ary for the 5cb ntists. hanging their hearts, to admit that the people w.-re right in attributing medicinal properties to this :leasant fruit. Salicylic acid is not present In strawber ries in large doses. It would be impossible to eat f nough strawberries to bring on salicylic acid poisoning. Hue this beneii cent drug is in the fruit, working the mure powerfully, maybe, lor its iniiniteslmal pro portions, and any chemist may isolate it by means of a careful analysis. The guod qualities of salicylic acid are manifold. Peria In IS'S disco vered it and since that time it has leen prepared arti ficially on a very large scale. Either alone or in the form of its sodium salt it is 'he. physician's best remedy for acute rheuma tism. It possesses very powerful anti septic properties. Added in small uuanti- i ties to fluids containing bacteria, it causes i these buctf-ria to cease propagating, and added in larger quantities it kdls th- bae i u ria altogetht-r. A little salicylic acid will kpp milk from souring. A weak solution of it will prevent decomposition in skins j previous to their tanning. It will also keep butter fresh ana sweet lor montns in t he hottest weather. Salicylic acid applied externally to warts removes them. Its crystals, powered and inhaled like pnuff, relieve hay fever. In headache and In severa 1 l-ss common disorders the remedy is tised with good re sults by physicians. In many old almanacs and receipt books strawberry recipes for the cure of rheuma tism and gout are to be found. These receipts urge the use of f r sh fruit, but at the same time admit that preserve! fiirawbfrrks are only a little less potent than the fresh in medical properties. The following receipts are from The Guild i Hall V-ar book, published m 1S,-J: I "To cure rheumatism Take fresh 5trav berries, boil in water and store in air i tight 1ars. This is gorwl in the winter. i "In the season of strawberries eat for rheumatism and gout as many hs can and it is best to eat most in raw you 'he l morning. A pleasant orinK ior me rnenma i ic is thp compre-sed juice of the strawberry di luted in two parts of water. Take a small wine glass every hour." St. JLouis Globe iJt mocrat. WHITING BY W1IIE. How the Telechirograph Transmits an Original Communication. The telechirograph is the size of an ordi nary typewriter box, the chit f parts of in terest which can be seen being the jien. it and the pi oes of paper on which the sen der writi s his message. The pen is at tached to two rods which move with it. while the contacts on their (nris slide an two rheostats, po that parts of these re sistances are cut in nor out. m conformity v.ith th.- motions of the pencils. The rheo stats in the transmitting apparatus are constructed by winding insulated wire in the nan owest possible windings in contact with each other upon a non-conducting core, while the insulation in the path ot the sliding contacts is removed from th1 surface of the spools, but in such a way thai it remains lietween the single wind ings of the latter. Knch winding, there fore, formn an element of resist a nee. The lead sheathing ef telephone cables will be used for the return current. The following arrangement is used to de viate the light ray from the sensitive pa per when no message is transmitted. Cpon the pencil in the transmitting station is mount' d a sleeve, under the influence ot a spring adjacent to which a second sleeve is arranged. The tirst sleeve is connected through a wire with the sliding contact, while the other sleeve is connected with the transmitting circuit. The pencil is held bv means of a socket and guided river i he paper tirst. whricupon the first sleeye moves downward and makes the contact with the other sleeve, so that an electrical e.airieetion between the wires is effected. In lifiing the pencil this contact is broken, and the rav immediately oscillates in the direction influenced by the corresponding branch distant circuit to the extreme ex tent, so that the point of light leaves the sensitive paper. The deviation of the point of light, however, is fteeted more quickly it the branch distant circuit is not inter rupted, but if a relatively strong current in the opposite elirection is sent through. For this purpose a small battery is pruvid.d. whose action is easily nnderstooel when writing the contact between the two sleeves is closed and the battery does no:, come into action. In practice. ef course, each instrument contains both a receiving and a transmit ting appi.ratus. Wh( n a message is com pleted a small electric motor operated py an indr-prndcnt hatt'Ty in the receiving de. vice is set in motion. This motor operates a train of wheels or rollers which draw the portion of film written upon by the light 'rav through a eleveloping bath and cut again through a pair of rubber drying rolls, so that the completed message is de livered about 35 seconds after the send'T has repiarerl the metallic pencil in the rest. In improved instruments which are now m ling built this time is expected to be shortened. New York Evening Post. An Ingenious Customer.

"How much this Balzac?" he asked an assistant. "Ferry francs. was the re ply. "Oh! that's far too much.

Approaching the bookseller, he took the book from under his arm and asked what he would give for it. "Twenty-five francs highest offer," he was told. The offer was accented, the man took his money a nil left. "Well." queried the as sistant after he had gone. "Were you able to hit it off with that gentleman, sir?" "Oh. yes.

Flood Charity Work Is to J5e Harmonized. Grain Dealers Gather Informa tion of Stricken Districts. WILL STOP IMPOSITION Various Committees Will Arrire at an Understanding. Only 200 or 300 1'eople Depen dent in Topeka. As a conclusion to a series of infor mal meetings participated in by repre sentatives of the different relief work organizations in Topeka a meeting is to be held probably Wednesilay at the Commercial club rooms to hit uuon a plan of cooperation for a larger scheme of relief work than has yet been under taken. What ultimate form this cooper ation shall take is uncertain. It is not now contemplated that any general or ganization shall be effected. Simply, the different relief committees of Topeka and elsewhere tlesire to establish an un derstanding among themselves for Ihe object of shutting off impositions and to secure a more perfect comprehension of the needs of the various tlooded locali ties in Kansas and a competent distri bution of relief amons them. Coupled with this is a plan that goes further than relieving distress, namely to advance means to rebuild, etc. At the bottym of this movement is the Kansas Grain Dealers' association, which has already received and expend ed several thousands of dollars ter re lief work. During the past week repre sentatives of the association have se cured the attendance of represent atives of fraternal relief organizations and the city charities' association at informal gatherings the object of which ha.j been to properly size up the Kansas situa tion. At these meetings A. H. Bennett of the Bennett Commission company, Captain H. M. Philips and other pcisoas who have been engaged in loe-al relief work have taken part in the meetings. Much of tiie information which nas lad to the determination to establish the general plan of cooperation has been furnished through tne Grain Dealers' association which has gone to consider able length already in securing infor mation about the extent of Hood devas tation in the farming localities over tne length of the Kaw valley. A. H. Bennett, who is intimately ac quainted with the investigations of the Grain Dealers' association, said this morning: "From the reports and our personal observations the people who have at tended these meetings during the past week have come to the conclusion that there is more work to be done in every Hooded locality if the people are to be placed on a self supporting basis. The time for temporary relief is over but i there remain many people who, unless i they are given help towards housing themselves, will be on the hands ot the city or county this winter. In many 1 cases $200 will do more good right now, several times over, than it would i when cold weather arrives. If we can i get these people started now they will be able to prepare themselves for winter. "One of the primary purposes of our I meetings has been to talk, over cases i where we think people are imposing upon the different relief committees. 1 re-call one case where one man secured J.'-fl from one organization, $40 from the grain dealers and $25 from somewhere else. It will of course require a vast amount of money to do this work.. Con tributions are being made from various sources yet. In most eases the donors have some particular locality or person to which they wish their money to go. I The plan to issue a general call for re lief from Kansas people is to be signed 1 by every committee engaged in relief w'ork in the state. Donors will be ask ed to place their money with whatever committee they desire, but the necessity 1 of giving will continue to be held be i fore them. Kansas is able to take care of her own if the matter is properly i handled." It is apparent from the accounts of the people in the Kaw valley who have i personally investigated conditions that there is a field for a valuable and im 1 portant charitable work. The persons S who have endorsed the calling of a j meeting of all the charitable relief workers of the state desire to enlist the j co-operation of city and county author ities wherever such work as theirs needs to be done. Upon the return of President J. E. i FYost of the Commercial club from trip out of town he will call together i tlie executive board of the elub in pe cial session. With this board the relief workers will confer upon their general I plan of co-orieration. It is proposed that at that meeting some effort will j be put forth to enlist the assistance of I the commissiejnei'S of the various coun j ties in which relief work is needed. TVi j law passed by the spee-ial session of the I legislature authorizing county commis- sioners to expend money for the relic i of persons suffering in times of extra ordinary public .disaster, and to levy special tax for such work if necessary, will enable the commissioners of thi and other counties to contribute largely to thej spet ial relief wctrk e-ontemplateel. This certain source of aid has not been seriously considered in any of the In- formal meetings erf the past week. These meetings, for the most part. I have been held in the office of the Ilev. 1 O. S. Morrow, secretary of the City Charities' association. In regard to his personal part in them Mr. Morrow stated this morning: "While I have been more and more in sympathy with the relief work contem plated, as I have come to understand jits purpose and become acquainted with conditions outside of Top. ka. I have not taken an active part in the rneet I insrs further than to give a report of re lief wo-k in Topeka and Shawnee coun ty with the extent of which I nave taken some pains- to acepiaint myself. The work of the City Charities' association is a. purely local matter, intended for helping the most elestitute cases anel is almost finished. It comprises oniy an insignificant part of the general work that has been conducted in this county and is well in hand. Nothing has yet been done toward extending permanent aid to rieople in Xorth Topeka or in the farming country of Shawnee. That it will be aelvisable and necessavy to begin such work while people are in the mood to give I am thoroughly convinced." The rerxert of the local relief work conducted by the numerous organiza tions with headquarters in Topeka and exteneling not only to the people of Xorth Topeka. but to perhaps l.Oefl peo ple south of the river in Topeki and to Rossvllle. Silver- Lake. Mencken, to all the farmir-e. communities where fugi tive from tire flooel were sheltered, cov ers the entire work in Shawnee county. It is brief but views the relief work wjttl a more general eye than has been given i( in any other single statement. Mr. ii'orrow statexi that 3,000 people had been registered at the auditorium while relief work was in progress. Most of these have been taken care of and set upon, their own feet so that the Charities association is caring for but three luirudred. K!LLEDI0,000 British Keport a Slaughter of the ..Unllah's Men.

Mr Tufts read the letter over twice and rentarked, as he passed, it to his stenorraiiiier: "That fellow ought to have wound up with 'The Lord helps those who help themselves." He evened a second let ter. The writer said: "I can't afford to give more to your relief fund than the state of Kansas. How about the legis lature?" There were a half dozen letters opened before the telephone began to ring. Va rious Kansans began to express them selves over the telephone. Not a dollar came in or was promised during the day.

How Degrees of Scholarship of Wear ers May Be Known. At most college functions, and par ticularly so during commencement fes tivities, the academic cap and gown ir in constant evidence. Undergraduate and newly fledged bachelors proud of their right to the distinctive garb, visit ing alumni glad ttsus to link arms Miic again with a vanished past, the augus faculty body, and those ef the ofResoi guests whose scholastic attainments en title them to the privilege, al! don th flowing robe and top it w ith the iiua'.nt and tasseled mortarboard. Some persons may caii this peculiar attire a piece of antiquated flummerv. but even they adlmit that the somh-r robes, relieved hare and there by -he brilliance of the hood linings ar.rl of thf many hued velvet frtcings, lend beauty as well as dignity to the assetribldg i gathered upon the platform. The casual glance nctes little if any difference in the appearance of the va rious gowns, but the initiated eye can tell instantly not only the exact degree of scholarship attained by the wearer, but also the faculty of learning that awarded it and the university where it was obtained. There are other dis tinguishing points, but the main ones may be summed up as follows: Matriculation at the college entit!e j the student to near a gown and a mortarboard of black woolen matei ir.:. 'usually serge. When he wins his hai !i elor's degree he may attach a ho..t j three feet lop,g to lus gown, ma le of I the same woolen stuff and lined wir'i the colors of his aima mater. Wherv the bachelor attains the master's de gree or the doctorate he is entitle to I wear a silken gown and hood, the lat ter four feet long. The doctorate en i titles him also to we.ir a panel erutiine.l with his coll.'ge colors. bnatli hi hood, and to exchange the black ta?'.', on his mortarboard for one of gold. Even, the sleeve changes with t re value of the elegree. The open pointed sleeve of the bachelor's gown is cloe.i for the mastejr. and the doctor wears i round oare trimmed with bars of velvet The d.ictor's degree betr.g the highest '"i the gift of a university, his attire is Th most distinguished in appearar.ee. jji may, if he choose, adorn his gon n w irh velvet facings, black, or of the c.-1-.e that indie-ates the sp.-cial faculty wh:. h recommended him for the degree.

Mrs. Izora Kingery, of Rocky Ford, Col., now visit ing friends here, has received informa tion from there that her husband, Jas. Kingery, aged 70 years, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. This leaves Mrs. Kingery a widow for the fifth time. A peculiar fact in relation to Mrs. Kingery's marital experiences is that all of her husbands were hopelessly crippled. Mrs. Kingery's maiden name was Izora Smith, and she lived near Hagers town. She was of a romantic disposi tion, and when she announced that she was engaged to marry Abram Houser, a well known citizen of Hageistow'n, hopelessly crippled, her friends could hardly be made to believe it. Neverthe less, she married Mr. Houser and teiok excellent care of him until he died, live years later. Her second venture was, if anything, more remankable than the first. Mr. J. Roller, an aged man. proposed and was promptly accepted. He was almost help less, but she proved a devoted wife to him and cheered his journey to the tomb. After waiting a. suitable time' the widow ccei ted a Mr. Hinies. with whom s'a deed peaceably and happily until his ocmise a year later. Her fourth husband was Oscar Pier son, of New Jersey. Mr. Pb-rson was bedriddt n. so crippled in his legs and back that he could not rise from his bed. He learned needlework, and made a being by selling the prodiu ts of his skill. His sad fate caused him to des pair, and he inditf d the story of his life and rolled the paper in a bit of fancy work and sent it out in the world upon its mission. That piece of fancy work was carried to Indiana and right irdo the hands of the very person who, of ali others, would likely be ready to sacri fice herself to relieve the poor stiff' r r. Mrs. Horn r bought the piece of goods and found the hit ,,f paper in the lining. When she read the story she did not hesitate, but immediately wrote Mv. Oscar Pierson a long effusion which breathed her interest and sympathy. The reply was prompt and all that could be desired. Mrs. Koher decked herself out in Tine array and visited the unfortunate man. Arriving; at his home, sh- found him, indeed, bedridden and almost heiph ss. His spirit and helplessness appeal -d strongly to this woman of quic k sym pathy, and when he asked her to marry him the ceremony quickly folloved. In all things she was a dutiful wife to him, and when death claimed him within a few months she put on widow's weeds and sincerely mourned. Put the habiliments of mourning were little suited to this remarkable woman, who frit that life was to be used rather than merely endured, and for the tifth time she essayed matrimony, again with a man whose career on earth was n- t lv finished. James Kingery of Hi a ky Ford, Co!., attracted by the fume of lo r willing ministrations, as a wife to help less husbands, proposed by letter and was promptly accepted in the same manner. Mis. Pierson traveled alone to Rocky Ford and married him.. Tht ir married life was pleasant for two years, and it seemed that at last Izora had encountered her true destiny. A f-w wffks ago she left to revisit her old home in Indiana. She left her aged hus band in good health and received let ters from him regularly. One day a telegram was handed to her. in which it was announced that Mr. Kingery had been killed. With overpowering sorrow Mrs. Kingery received the sad intelli gence. It was the fulfillment of a be lief, or impression, that had pos'vssed her' that this husband would be removed bv such a cause. The fatalistic influence still possesses h-r. She will follow where it leads her. Should she he railed upon to assume the care of a sixth husband whose in firmities remove hirn from the all but universal symoathy of the world she wou'd not hesitate, it is believed, but would t ike up the burden and discharge her riutv heroically and uncomplaining ly in the full belief that such was her destined end. i r n rrr olorado Flyer ON THE SANTA FE Topeka to Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Denver, daily.

X' QUICK TO SHOOT. (Continued from Page 1.) the trio who has not discarded his Mex ican boots, corduroy clothes and- som brero since eominer to Topeka. Burn ham, Carpenter, Olson and Short all testified to the essential features of this story, which was intended to show j that the Berrys were, bad and bloody 1 men. who would hesitate at nothing to accomplisn tne overthrow ot tne Deweys. AN UNWILLING WITNESS. One of the most important witnesses was Thomas Shahan, who is a ranch man in that section. Shahan has it in for the Dewey outfit, and beinjr an unwilling- witness, save testimony of grreat value as showing the nature of the com bination which the Dewey people were obliged to face. Numerous meetings were held at Sha han's house to discuss tie attitude of the Deweys, and on two different oc casions he beaded a party which went to the Dewey ranch to protest against certain practices. The settlers, through him. asked the Deweys to quit letting their cattle destroy the settlers' crops, to withdraw the warrants which were issued for the arrest of some of the bovs. and to disarm the Dewey riders. Shahan also said that he killed one of Dewey's big- steers one time in sell defense. Chauncey Dewey sent a squad of men up to fence Shahan's cornfield. "It was against my wishes." said Shahan. "Why?" "Because Dewey's cattle died when thev ate my cane," said he. "Then you didn't want your cane fenced in because if left open it would kill Dewey's cattle?" "Well, if the cane was not fenced, the Deweys would keep their cattle away from my place," said he. "It they fenced it their cattle would no bother me." Thomas Le Bow, a foreman on tht Dewey ranch, testified as to the details of an encounter which he had with the Berry boys. He went with Al Winship to the Berry ranch to bid on a tank which was offered at sheriff's sale. Presumably Winship was sent there by his employer, Dewey. As they were about to enter the ranch they were or dered off the place by the Berry boys, who told them, with much profanity, that no Dewey man should come into their land. A few minutes later the sheriff and auctioneer arrived, and Winship wen. in with these two and bought the tank. Afterwards. Winship and Le Bow haul another wrangle with the Berry boys, in which much lurid profanity was the principal feature, all of which was re lated in detail by the witness. The following- dispatch relating to the Dewey feud has been received: "Washington. June 30. Special Agent Hendershot, of the general land office, has made a partial report of his inves tigation into the fencing of public lands in connection with the Dewey rancn in northwestern Kansas. The investi gation was ordered immediately after the killing of the Berrys by Dewey' cowboys, the tragedy serving to direct attention to the extensive domain en closed. Mr. Hender---hot finds there are some public lands included in these in closures, but says it is claimed thai there are sufficient gaps in the fences to relieve the owners from the charge of encroachment. He has been in structed to place the facts in his pos session in the hands of the United States district attorney and to forward a complete report to the general lan3 office in this city." BARRINGTON PLEASED. Enjoys the Public Attention Which He Is Attracting. St. Louis, June 30. "Lord" Rarring ton, in jail charged with the murder of James MrCann, seems at times on the point of a full confession. That Bar rington enjoys the attention he is at tracting is apparent in every action as he receives his callers, who include po lice officials, detect, -es, lawyers, report ers and a sprinkling of British army j officers, who have heard that a com patriot of the horse guards is in trou ble, and a swarm of merely curious per sons from St. Louis and from the coun try, who wanto see how the bogus nobleman looks behind bars. Barring-ton's most important admis sion today is that he was with McCatin in the quarry at Bonfils on the night of i the murder. He stopped right there j when the statement had been drawn j from him and refused to speak further, j Sheriff Heneken believes that with Bar- rington's propensity to talk about him- self, the prisoner will soon make a com- plete confession of the crime with which he is charged. It further developed today that Bar- rington had made every arrangement to leave the city at a moment's notice. His trunk had been taken to union sta- tion. Mrs. MrCann believes that it was Harrington's intention, in some way, to j obtain possession of $5,000 which she pnd MeOann had equal access to in a safe deposit vault. Just what means he intended to use she professes not to know. She formerly conducted a matri monial bureau under the name of Mrs. Leland and Harrington may have hoped to use this fact in some way against her if she did not. yield to his blandish ments. The ouarry pond at Bontils was j dragged in the hope of finding th? clothes of MeOann. hut without sui cess. A bloodstained cuff was found near the scene of the murde--, but iti-i j ownership has not been established, j Harrington said today that McCann I was diutrged the night they went t'O Bonfils together. He says that McCan.i was taking a (prescription which con- tained morphine, in the hope of break- ing un the liquor habit. The phystoiar, had warned him that the rt suit would be serious if he drank while taking tns I medicine. The night of the murder, j Harrington says, McCann took some of the medicine and afterward drank a considerable quantity of whisky. This if true, txplains one point that hns puzzled the officers and McCann's friends all along. They could not un derstand how a man of McCann's phys ical build could be overcome by Bat rington in any kind of a fight, yet be was shot from the front. If he was stupefied by drugs, the mystery is a mystery no more. i The identification of Harrington tis George Barton, a notorious English crook, has been corflrmed to the en I tire satisfaction of the local police offi- I rials. The B"rti!!on measurf ments or; Barton are not only reproduced in Bar- rington in every particular, hut scars. moles and other marks on his body tally exactly with those described as belonging to the Englishman. j Harrington has not yet engaged coun- sel for his defense. Colonel John I. Martin, who obtained his release fr, in the workhouse and is defending the di- vorce suit brought by Mrs. Harrington formerly Miss Grace Corhtane of Kansas Citv said that he would tiltei charge of this case if Harrington uiks him. but as yet he has received ni rvi d from the prisoner. Barrington himself admitted that the state has a distinctly strong circum- i stantial case against him. and added. I deprecatingly, that after all the trouble he has had recently he would as soon die as not. HOPES HE WILL BE HANGED. Sea Cliff. N. Y.. June 30. Mrs. Bar ton, the lawful wife of "Lord" Barrinsr ton. who is held in St. Louis on "a charge of murder, is now residing here. She said without hesitation today: "I hope he will be hung. He deserved it long ago." Mrs. Barton -was obliged to leave Brooklyn on account of the notoriety which Barton's unpleasant doings brought her. A fear that he would kid nap her o:iiy child has made her place the little rrie away from her i.i 'ew Jeisey. Mrs. Barton does not doubt that her husband has committed murder, but says if a. smooth tongue and boundless plausibility will avail him. he wiil man age to evade the law's clutches. If necessary, she says he will don the cloak of religion, for he has a faminar ity with the scriptures which would do credit to an archbishop. WARDEN REFISES JOB. Declines Superintendence of San Federal Prison at Atlanta. Joliet. 111.. Jure 30. Warden K. J. Murphy of the Joliet state penitentiary has refused the offer made by Attorney General Knox to take charge of tn? new federal x'rison at Atlanta. Ga. This position was tendered him about a month ago and declined. Then th at torney general sent for Mr. Murphv tr come to Washington. A salary of $4.ii0 a year and virtually a life position was offered but the warden has concluded not to accept. He was bom in Illinois and is unwilling to leave the state. Among his friends his decision has caused much rejoicing, as a movement has been on foot for some t'-'e am--r. them to bring him out as a candidate for governor. Warden Murphy has refused to tak their suggestions seriously, however, and declares that he prefers to remain in his present line of work in which o has made a national reputation. SOUTH TOPEKA.

Worth RELIC OF WORLD'S FAIR Was Exhibited at Chicago Ex position by Montana. Afterwards Carted Over Coun try for Exhibition Purposes. The $100,000 silver statue of Ada Rehan. which has been reposing in the basement of the Barnum Dry Goods store for half a dozen years is again in evidence. This time Judge Hazen has ordered that the statue be sold to the highest bidder. The statue was exhibited at the World's fair, at Chicago, as a typical exhibit of the state of Montana. Ada Rehan, the actress, was the model. She posed holding a pair of scales and a sword, representing Justice. There was a great hubbub, before the woman to do the posing was selected, but Miss Rehan won the contest. She posed standing on a globe to represent the world. Miss Rehan's feet were not par ticularly large but the globe was rather small and she could not find a footing on one continent and she had to hang on to the rounding sides of the I globe, about as a boy would stand on a punkin. Consequently the jealous i women who were not selected as tiie I model declared that Miss Rehan was bowlegged. But that has nothing to do with the latest stir regarding the silver statue. After the World's fair a company was formed to exhibit the statue through the country at stores. The storekeepi-rs were to pay the company for attracting pro pie to thi ir stores w ith the exhibit. The statue came to Topek.x to be exhibited jat Crosby Brothers' store. It left the store but did not leave Topeka. The company claimed that the man who was to manage the silver statue i had eloped with it and that they were losing the Sr.no a week rent the eom- pany wanted for the silver woman. F. D. Higby, the manager, and the statue were found in Topeka and the quarrel went to court with the result that the statue was placed in the hands of a re ceiver. Sam Barnum was made re ceiver. The statue was too large for his hands and he stowed it away in the basement. Now Judge Hazen has ordered that the statue be sold to the highest bidder and that those holding claims against it be paid. The statue is supposed to be worth $100,000. but it isn't. It is of heroic size but it is hol low. If it were solid it would take a house moving outfit to transfer it. During the years that the statue has been in Topeka it has occasionally been exhibited. It occupied a float in the Santa Fe Fall Festival parade and was exhibited at the Midwinter Exposition in 1902. While the statue has been stowed away it has lost a finger. That will, of course., lessen the value of the statue as regards the amaunt of silver in it but the more fingers and arms that are gone from the ancient Venuses adds to their value so that may cause the silver statue to be sought by art collectors. In a short time Receiver Barnum will j mount the block and knock down the silver statue to the man who makes the j highest bid. Death of Otto C. Beeler. I Leavenworth, Kan.. June 30.

State Journal Correspondent Doesn't Think Flood Was a Judgment. To the Editor of the State Journal: Are the Home Defenders justifiable in the position they have taken with re gard to the Topeka flood? The intelligent Bible reader no longer conjures up God as a vague, indefinite, abstract something or nothing, without form or parts, everywhere in general and nowhere in particular. If revela tion and inspiration is not a fabrication from start to finish, then God is an in tense reality, an independent person ality, a distinct individuality, a supreme superintending intelligence, omnipotent, and omnipresent, not in person, but in authority and in power as a ruler in his government. As a concrete identity ("Sod has a. habitation where he resides. His abode is a high court and he always works through agencies. He says to this one go, and he goes; to another come, and he comes: and to still anoth er do this and it is done. His ministers are angels, archangels, cherubims and seraphims. There is an angel of the sun, another holds the winds in his fists; then there is an angel of the wa ters and also one who superintends the preaching of the gospel. Take your Bibles and read of their visits, manifes tations and missions to men. Huff they talked with Abraham, sojourned with Lot, wrestled with Jacob and min istered to Christ. There are myriads, a vast innumerable multitude of these di vine beings. There are no drones or idlers in this invisible realm. All is ceaseless activity. They are with us sleeping and waking. Joseph, the car penter met them in his dreams. Anoth er -among the myrtle trees. The "sound of their going" was in the tops of the mulberry trees. Every act of worship, the invocation of the pastor, priest or preacher, the kneel ing congregation, songs and benedic tion, all communion with the unseen. Focused on every human being, more powerful than searchlight or X-rays, more sensitive than camera film or wireless telephone, recording every word, act and emotion, from the cradle to the grave, is angelic espionage. Holy Writ shows that the supreme being, the creator and ruler of the universe, is in tensely interested and the celestial agents active in municipal and national affairs. In peace and in war their pres ence is felt, influencing the thoughts and passions of men. The history of the Jewish race is a remarkable exemplifi cation and proof of this. The wars, famines and punishments were the direct interposition of Providence. Floods, from Noah's, storms and pes tilence did their deadly work. God says: "I have smitten you with blasting and mildew- when vour gardens and vine yards and fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmer worm devoured them: that which the palmer worm left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left the cankevworm hath eaten: and that which the can ker worm hath left hath the caterpillai eaten." Thus to every minutia of private or national life all is the result of good or evil invisible intelligence, subject to re ward or chastisement, at the discretion of a pleased or displeased Almighty. Disembodied mortals revel In the ethe real and are watching mundane affairs. Moses and Elias talked with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration. John on iu ro-- PatmA conversed with an gelic fellow servant. The rich man beg- Sed piteonslv that Abraham would send "ome one back to warn his wicked rela- tives Fverv Christian must believe in .nni',i vrr.-1-Menoes. otherwise prayer is silly and worship idiotic. The devout worshiper is in harmony, rapport and touch with the divine spiritual. No wonder, then, the zealous Home Defen ders brooding and praying over the awful liquor curse (that Is hanging like a vamnb-e c.f perdition over our land) ti r- iding th-ir Bibles, should see the hand of God 1n the late flood. They re alize that It is a war between Satan and Chrit between good and evil spirits. The jointists, sympathetic courts and dram drinkers, the gross, sensual and depraved are as thoroughly imbued, enthused and animated by evil Genu, as the loyal. Christian people are by the sentiment of righteousness. The writer is not a church member and don't know that he ever will be. but if that Old Book of books is true and those crusa ders are in communication with htgn heaven Topeka should abate the damn- insr liouor curse ana ne now n -."J- cloth and ashes.
