Ken dall received six votes to five for the recretary of agriculture, James Wilson, who was put forward by the "stand pat ters" as a candidate upon whom all ph. mid be able to agree. (iovern-.r Cummins, in accepting the renomination. expressed his unqualified approval of "every line and letter" of the platform. "I cannot allow this occasion to pass without a word respecting some differ ences of opinion in the Republican ranks us to the tariff and reciprocity," he said 'We all stand (irmly for the policy of protection. It is the fundamental eco nomic doctrine of the Republican party and every Republican must believe in it. stand for it and advocate it tle he i-j noi a republican. When, however, we approach the application of the policy to our industrial affairs there is i roo.tnIf'T honest differences of opinion. and I. for one, neither discourage nor condemn the fjtr. honest and frank ex- r presslon of thse ditTereices of opinion fiome may believe that there are sched ule which hould be changed now some may believe that there are sched ules that should be crianged next year, and there are others who may believe that the schedules should not be changed at all; and still they are loyal to the party and present a united front to the common enemy. I neither impugn any man's motives, question his integrity or challenge his Republicanism because he does not agree with me concerning: the applica tion of the historic policy of the indus trial world. For myself, I have during the last two years frequently given ut terance to my views upon the various phases of the tariff and reciprocity. These views have not been hastily form ed nor carelessly expressed; and I shall maintain them in the future as I have in the past, simply because I believe them to be true. 1 have thp profoundest faith in the policy of protection, and I find in the platform you have just adopted one of the most complete and emphatic tributes to its wisdom and efficiency ever penned by the hand of man. "I believe that the mighty transform ations of the last six years demand a change in rome of the schedules that were enacted to carry this policy into efCett; and I find in your platform a distinct recognition of the necessity. I believe that some of the tariff rates are too high, and that they should be re duced; and I find in the platform the warrant for my position. I believe that monopolies are intolerable, and that all just powers of the government should be unceasingly exerted to prevent and overthrow them; and I find in the plat form that tariff schedules must be op posed to domestic monopoly as well as foreign control. I believe in the reci procity which will increase the produc tion of American farms and American workshops; and I tind in the platform that leciprocity between nations is trade tor mutual advantage and both sides must give and take. Conscious of the for Governor. difference of opinion that I have already outlined, and const ious of nothing but a spirit of unity. 1 yet intend to exert all my power, humble and feeble as it is. to make the views I have so inad equately stated, the prevailing views of tile Republican party." Besides Senator Allison's tariff trust plank, the platform includes other de clarations as follows: "We commend entirely and Without reservation the administration of Presi dent Roosevelt. Called as he was to the office of chief executive under the most trying circumstances, his fidelity to the public welfare, the wisdom and modera tion of his utterances and counsel, and the painstaking zeal which he brings to the performance of all his duties command our respect and admiration. "Iowa Republicans, in common with the Republicans of the entire nation, ex pect and desire his unanimous nomina tion as his own successor. "We renew our allegiance to the prin ciple of the gold standard as enuncia ted in the national platforms of the na tional Republican conventions in 1896 and 1900. which resulted in the estab lishment of the parity of all our money ind the stability of our currency on a gold basis. "The essence of free government is government by law. Laws must be en forced by the government and should be cheerfully obeyed by the people. The spirit of lawlessness wherever met must he rebuked, and we command the fideli ty and a-al of the national and state t int lids, w herever exercised, for the vindication of this principle. "V e are earnestly opposed to all leg islation to accomplish the disfranchise ment of citizens upon lines of race, color or station in life, and condemn the measures adopted by the Democratic party in certain states of the Union to accomplish that end."

Pleasanton Republicans After Congressman liowersock. Want Mm to FaTor Appoint ment of Justice Johnston. SEND HIM A PETITION. Was Signed hj Oyer 100 Party Members. Other Pertinent Uossip About Matters Political. Pleasanton, Kan., July 2, The Repub licans of Linn county to the number c over 100 signed the following petition within an hour, and sent it to Con gressman Bowersock: "To J. D. Bowersock, Congressman Sec ond District. "Dear Sir: Twenty years' service cn the supreme bench of Kansas has dem onstrated that Chief Justice W. A. Johnston is a man of ability and integ rity, and he does not have to secure the influence of eastern stockholders of the Union Pacific and corporations in gen eral to give him standing with the Re publican party and its representatives.. "We the undersigned voters of Linn county therefore pray you, our congress man, to do all in your power to secure the appointment of our chief justice to the position of United States distiict Judge, to be made vacant by the resig nation of Judge W. C. Hook." Ihe above petition was signed by ev ery Republican business man of Pleas anton, the mayor and city councilmen. and the township and county officials. Republicans in this county are gen erally very indignant because of the fact that certain parties are using their influence with President Roosevelt for the appointment of a United States dis trict judge because the railroad and corporate interests are asking it. There are those in the party who are confident that a man can be appointed whose appointment, from a party stand point, will be a very expensive one. Such an appointment, it is generally believed here, would cost the Republican ticket several thousand votes. Congressman Bowersock, to whom the above petition is addressed, is supposed to be friendly to Charles Blood Smith for Judge, but he has not definitely com- mltted himself. Bowersock was not present at the conference of the Kansas congressional delegation held in Topeka, on June 24. Popular sentiment seems to be favor able to Judge Johnston. People who have no political .axe to grind are with him, so far as can be judged. Those who are not actively in favor of htur are Inclined to favor Judge Pollock. Pollock is at a disadvantage with Johnston be cause the latter is much better known in Kansas, and has won the confidence of people by long and honorable service on the bench. It isn't the people, however, who de cide the question of a successor to Judge Hook. The president has checked the matter up to the congressional dele gation, and the congressional delegation is virtually at a deadlock. The influ ences of large business institutions and corporations are not friendly to John ston or Pollock. Charles Blood Smith seems to be the favorite of the corpora tions. Congressman Phil Campbell, of the Third district, has gone to Washington. Several postmaster's commissions ex pire within a short time, in the Third district, and Mr. Campbell is making it his ostensible business to look after these appointments. He is said to be also interested in the federal judgeship fight, and will see how things stand at Washington as affecting the chances of the various candidates. Campbell is lined up with Pollock. They are bofi from the Third district. Senator J. R. Burton will arrive in town today, if his present plans are carried out. and will be here over Fri day talking politics with the Copeland crowd. He is billed to deliver the Fourth of July address at Burlington this year. Kditor Beck, of the Holton Recorder, charges the "Curtis crowd" with using money' for the purpose of corrupting Jackson county. He says in his paper: "Up until four or five years ago no money was ever sent to Jackson county by either the state or national commit tee and no money was ever used except to pay legitimate expenses. Under this condition of things Jackson was one of the most reliable Republican counties in Kansas and was one of the few which did not go over to Populism. If there are warring factions in the county now that seriously threaten to disrupt the party it is due more to the money that has been dumped in here by the Topeka Cur tis crowd and by the national commit tee than to any other cause. More men have been corrupted and more trouble has ensued in consequence, in this coun ty, in the past four or five years than in the previous 25 years and it is has been because the party has got under the control of men who believe in the use of money and who have no scruples when it comes to corrupting voters. It is time a halt was called and we hope what boodle and slush may be used in the next campaign will be used by the Democrats and that Republicans will from necessity, if not from choice, have to do without money except for legiti mate expenses," The Minneapolis Better "Way backs up the fight which Ed Hoch has started on the Hood relief fund donations. Mr. Hoch thinks that the senators and rep resentatives should be allowed to keep the money the state paid them for the' special session. The Better Way says: "The Marion Record makes the point that it is just as reasonable to ask the state officers to 'knock off' their salaries as for the senators and rep-resentatives to be expected to serve at the extra session for nothing. And that is right, too. Cubbison and several others who draw good fees as corporation attor neys can afford to do this, but how about the farmer who is perhaps a 'flood sufferer' himself, or the man of small means who happens to be a mem ber of the legislature? Their time must be lost from their business and their ex penses are quite heavy." Killed by a Horse. Hutchinson, Kin., July 2. Warren Harris, aged 30a popular school teach er, who was kicked by a horse in the stomach and killed, was buried at Burr ton. The accident occurred at his home near Georgetown, Reno county. HAS IT DOWN FINE. A Chicago Professor Finds Something Smaller Than an Atom. Chicago, July 2. The atom has been knocked out. After a long period of efficient service in the scientific world, the old atomic theory has been super seded by the "ionic;" and as a conse quence, all the text books in physics now .extant are out of date. These new ly discovered ions, being only one two thousandth part as large as tne hy drogen atom, are not visible to the naked eye, but the Imagination of the scientist can compass them. At an open lecture given today before the student of the University of Chi cago. Prof. Clark of- the department of physics explained to his audience the nature of this new discovery. It came about through the study of the electric spark. In pasmtag an electric spark through a vacuum, Prof. Clark brought to view a "brush" of illuminating par ticles radiating from the negative pole. These particles were the result of the "ions" impinging upon the rarefied atmosphere. A characteristic of these particles is that they can be passed through solid platinum a substance wholly impervious to- the atom with perfect facility. NEARLY 400 'MILLION.

Destruction of New Orleans Re pealed in a, Vision. New Orleans, La., .T".5y 2. "Thus saith the Lord: Go ye irio New Orleans and tell the people I will destroy their city in a few months." This appalling prophecy was scattered through the city today by circular and by word of moutn and created consternation among the, blacks wherever it fell. The prophet, James Henry Ralston, followed by a hundred negroes, paraded the black district, calling all to repentance until he was arrested and brought betore tte- corder Hughes. In court he testified that he naa receivea a vision irmii heaven that a famine greater than an Indian famine would fall upon the country. "As sSon as I leave the city, prepare for destruction, said he. He was warn ed and discharged. PLACE ABOLISHED. No Successor for E. W. Thomp son Will He Named. A circular was received in the Rock Island division office this morning which reads as follows: "Mr. E. W. Thompson having resigned to engage in other bus iness, the position of assistant general passenger agent for lines west of the Missouri river is hereby abolished, and the territory of Mr. W. J. Leahy, as sistant general passenger agent is ex tended to include lines west of the Mis souri. Effective July 1." Mr. J. A. Stewart, district passenger agent, with headquarters at Kansas Ciy, has received the appointment of general agent for the passenger depart ment at Kansas City. WANT THE MONEY NOW. County Commissioners Are After the Illinois Life. The county commissioners have under consideration the advisability of collect ing the taxes of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance company at once. The assessed valuation of the com pany was placed at $84,000. George Cole appeared before the commissionersthe day before the sale was made to the Illinois Mutual company and asked that the assessed valuation be reduced to $14,000. The commissioners refused to make any reduction. The new Kansas law gives the county commissioners the right to collect the unpaid tax on mer chandise or a business concern when the merchandise or the concern is to be moved or sold. The commissioners may construe this to refer to insurance com panies and instead of waiting for the tax to be paid next December will col lect it at once. Oklahoma Finances. Guthrie, Okla.. July 2.

JENATZTWIHS. The German Representative Be-it Chauffeur. Wins Cnp Offered by James Gordon Bennett. COURSE IS 368 MILES. He Knyfif Finishes Second on Time Allowance. Gabriel, the Favorite, Comes Third in Contest. The Americans Made a Poor Showing Throughout. Bally Shannon, July 2. According to the Times as prepared up to the hour this dispatch is filed Jenatzy seems to have won the race but this can not be accepted as final. London July 2. A special dispatch from Bally Shannon says that while De Knyff finished first he was beaten ten minutes on time allowance by Jenatzy, wh- had finished about three minutes behind him. Bally Shannon, July 2. Gabriel fin ished third at 6:20 p. m. Bally Shannon, Ireland, July 2. The fourth annual race for the international cup offered by James Gordon Bennett, which may be competed for by every foreign automobile club recognized by the English Automobile clut was start ed at 7 o'clock sharp this morning in fine weather. S. F. Edge, English, nolel er of the cup, was the first starter. The contestants were: S. F. Edge, R. DeKnyff, A. WMnton, Baron De Carters, C. Jarrott. M. Far man, P. Owen, Foxhall Keene, J. W. Stocks, Gabriel, L. P. Moers and Jen atzy. The total distance of the course is ."68 miles and 765 yards as measured by a surveyor. It is laid out principally in County Kildare, the start and finish be ing at Bally Shannon cross roads, afcout 35 miles southwest of Dublin. In outline the course somewhat resembles a map of Africa, traversely divided into two parts, which are known as the maor and the minor loop. The distance around the smaller loop is about 45 miles and miles around them both and there is a dividing stretch of about 13 miles that must be covered six times in going three times around the combined loops. The small loop is covered first and then the races go three times around the combined loops. Winton, Owen and Moers are the American competitors. Long before dawn .hundreds of police patrolled tie usually quiet country roads, which ear ly in the day were alive with a continu ous stream of motor cars. When the pilot car left shortly fif ter 6 a. m.-the SO stands surrounding Ral ly Shannon were becoming crowded with gaily dressed people, many of whom had spent the night in tents, erected in all directions. Several com plaints were made, notably by Moers regarding the over oiling of sections of the road. At 7 o'clock to a second, Jorlloyd, the starter, fired a pistol, Edge pressed the lever of his car and the t hicle sprang forward and the race be gan amid cheers. The Americans all got off badly and Winton, who had a lot of trouble with his car, lost 40 minutes before he was able to start. At 7 DeKnuff's blue car went flying after Edge. Winton was not ready when called as third starter and Owen took his place, the first American car making a rather poor start at 7:14. Germany's first representative, Genatzy, started at 7:21. Then came Jarrott. the English favorite, who went off at 7:28, smoking a cigarette. Gabriel, who is the favorite, followed Jarrott at 7:35. Moers, the second American starter, made a bad departure at 7:42, his chaufeur having to push the car. Baron De Caters, German, got off at 7:49 with a good start. Stocks, English, was off at 7:56. The first lap, 47 miles, was soon over, Pdge doing good work, which was only excelled by Foxhall Keene. The second lap. 54 miles, found Edge still first and the Americans until the leaders were knocked out, aparently with no chance of winning. Great alarm was created by a report that Jarrott was killed. The withdrawal of Stocks was not ex pected to influence the result which is now generally believed to lie between France and Germany unless Edge does unexpectedly. London, July 2- A special dispatch from Bally Shannon says "B. E. Edge, holder of the Bennett cup and menlber of the English team, met with an acci dent in today's race. The Frenchman, DeKnyff, is reported to be now ii the lead. Bally Shannon, July 2. Jarrott's chauffeur was badly huit in turning a corner. The car turned over and the chauffeur was crushed. DeCaters started on his third lap at 12:16 and Farman at 12:27. Foxhall Keene retired from the race. He found that an axle of his car was break ing and that the motor was cut of coi trol. London. Julv 2.-12:53 P. M. A special from Bally Shannon says Edge has re sumed the race. Growing Antagonism. London, July 2. The Vienna corre spondent of the Times dealing with the political question in Austria says that weightier than all questions of detail is the question of the effect of the pres ent parallel crisis Upon the future of the monarchy. The growing antagon ism of the Hungarians to Austria has engineered a corresponding antagonism in Austria. There is some talk of the formation of a cabinet representing a parliamentary coalition to take the place of the Koerber cabinet, though there is little hope that such a ministry would have a long existence. Dawes Commission Resumes. Muskogee, I. T., July 2. The officials and 300 clerks of the Dawes commission have resumed work, after months of idleness, because of lack of funds. Land offices are opened at Tahlequah, with Major C. R. Breckenridge in charge: Tishomingo, with ex-Gov. Stanley of Kansas in charge, and Atoka. The work of en-rolling and allotting land to the Cherokee and Choctaw Indians will be taken up. There has been much discon tent among the Indians over the delay. The clerks who found themselves off pay without a day's warning are re joicing at the opportunity to draw sal ary again. LOOK FOR SHOWERS. That Is What Weather Bureau Say Today.

This was not the man by that name who wrote "A Hoosier Schoolmaster" for the author of that popular story is dead. This man, however, considers himself as great a genius, if not greater than his famous namesake. He admitted to the physicians that he is different from most people but he says his oddities art the result of genius and not of Insanity. Eggleston is a nice appearing-young colored man.

Of the 234 men entombed by the mine explosion on Tuesday, the bodies of only .five have been recovered, and all hope that any of the others are alive has been aban doned. Fire and smoke are preventing exploration of the lower workings and it is feared that many, if not all of the bodies now In the mine, will be con sumed. TOOK $2, LEFT $14. And Still Arthur Beams Is in Clutch es of the Law. Arthur Reams, a small colored youth, was caughtvby the police today at 1:30 with the goods on him. Little Arthur was assisting in the dusting of some carpets for Mrs. R. M. Seaman, of 1246 West street, and when left alone in a room for a few minutes he dug into a pocketbook lying on the table. Man wants but little here below, and Arthur wanted still less than that. There was $14 in the purse, but a two dollar bill filled the wants of little Arthur, and made him a plutocrat of the first water. He rode down town on a car, spent about 80 cents for fireworks, returned home and generously gave his two sis ters and brother two bits each. His mother was suspicious of the sudden wealth, and frisked little Arthur for the remainder. Petit larceny is the charge. Driving Out Jamaica Bananas. Kingston, Jamaica. July 2. The Ja maican colonial secretary, Sydney Oli vier, who is now on a visit to the United States and Canada, has sent a report to the agricultural department here that Costa Rica bananas are oust ing Jamaica fruit from the American market. This report has created con siderable perturbation among the plant ers here, as the preservation of the American market is absolutely essential to the prosperity of Jamaica. Steadied by Kossuth's Action. Budapest, Hungary. Julv 2.

Xo Contest for Title of Official Route." FIRST TIME ON RECORD Has Always Been a Scramble for Selection. Beliered That Roads Hare Com bined This Year. There seems to be a combination be tween the railroads of Kansas to enter into no active competition for the dis tinction of being selected as the offi cial route of the Kansas G. A. R. dele gation to the thirty-seventh national encampment at San JFranciseo. Within a week or ten days. Depart ment Commander Smith will name the official route. It is all left In hla hands, and the route which he selects will be the one upon which the Kansas officers of the G. A. II. will travel. Usually there la fierce competition be tween the various railroads for the offi cial patronage. This year it Is dif ferent. "It don't seem to make any difference to the roads which one gets it," saiA Adjutant General W. W. Denntson of the G. A. R. "They all go after th business anyway, and fight just as hard if they don't secure the selection as if thev do." Department Commander Smith Is not in the city, but when here a few days ago he said that there is so little in terest in the matter that several ot th leading railroads in the state had not even sent a representative to him to apply for the honor. There are four roads recognized as being in the race, generally speaking, and one of these roads will no doubt hn chosen as the official route. The four are the Santa Fe, Rock Island, Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific Some times the fight is so hot between the roads that they offer to the G. A. II. posts, through the dejiartment com mander, very, valuable concessions in the way or free transportation for -cer- tain G. A. It. leaders. There. 'Is not' likely to be much of this sort of thir.if this year. The combination between ths roads is in the nature of a traffic deal. The rates of fare have been fixed for f keeps, and the railways thereby d away with disastrous competition. It is believe llfce'ly that the Rook Ts-' land has the best show to be chrrsfn as the. official route. The Santa Fe is said to Insist that the delegations use Its lines both -east, and west bounel, antt to offer no choice o-roates for the east..; s ern trip. This is not satisfactory to th old soldiers, who want to have it left -so that they can go out Dne way rtntl come back by some "other tine. Th road which is selected for the official.-;' route will probably have, to make; Some -such concession as this. V" In speaking of the prospects for a laige delegation from Kansas to the- reunion, Commander Smith said: "It is too early to make any forecasts as t how many will go to San Francisco. The recent flood will no doubt keep some at home .who would otherwise have gone, but I believe that the at tendance will be well up to the aver age." The encampment will be held during the week beginning Monday, August 17. The Transcontinental Passenger asso ciation has announced the following date of sale for tickets: East of but not including Colorado common, points, east of El Paso and Dalhart, August 1 to 14. West of above mentioned points, August 2 to 15. The rate of fare ta fix ed at one cent a mile. The following are some of the an nouncements promulgated by the na tional commander by means of a gen eral order: "Headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic will be established tem porarily at the Palace hotel, San Fran cisco, Cal., from August 15th to 21st in clusive.

2 TOPEKA STATE JOUKNA.L THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 2, 1903. KANSASNEWS. Ottawa Will Have a Big Camp Assembly. OTer 140 Tents Hare Already Been Ordered. A THOUSAND EXPECTED Demand Seems to lie from Over the State. Topeka and Kansas City to Send Parties. Ottawa, Kan., July J Orders are now filed at the office of the assembly sec retary for about 140 tents. This !a an unprecedented number for this time, and it signifies that there will be no less than 250 tents on the grounds by the second day of the assembly. This latter number signifies a tent city of 1.000 in habitants. It is hardly possible for the entire history of the assembly to show uch a promise as this, at this time in thrf progress of assembly preparations. An unusual feature of the prepara tions this year is the number of assur ances from people who are coming in parties to tent on the grounds. Kansas City has not sent much of a delegation In recent years, but this year several parties of Kansas City people have writ ten for locations on the grounds. To peka will send several neighborhood camping parties, the number averaging from ten to twenty-five each. It is be lieved at the secretary's office that campers are coming from longer dis tances thts year than ever before. Contractor Black and his men are rapidly rounding the tent city into iorm. Some of the campers, it Is said, will move in aSturday. to get the enjoy ment of one day of camp life before the business of the assembly begins. GRANTED A PERMIT. Probate Judge Acts Favorably In a Chanute Case. Chanute, July 2. Says the Blade: The probate judge granted Chase W. brown a druggist's permit to sell in toxicating liquors last Saturday, after the fullest and most thorough investiga tion and consideration. As has been related in the columns of the Blade from day to day, tne opposi tion to the granting of this permit were strenuous in their efforts indeed, and evidently did all that could be done, to procure and produce evidence that Mr. Brown had violated the law and wns not a fit person to have such a per mit. The result Is not only a victory for Mr. Brown and a vindication as to the charges made against him but is. a tri umph of common sense, and the pur poses of the prohibitory law. The pro hibitory law is based on the presump tion that druggists may and of neces sity must sell intoxicating liquors and upon the further presumption that the people must have intoxicating liquors, else the law would have prohibited the sale for any purpose. Hut the opposi tion that has been made to druggist's permits in Chanute is based upon the theory and presumption that they are not necessary, that it is wrong and that they shall not be granted to any one. It has been the common talk in the town, that no druggist shall have his permit renewed. Judge Jeffrey is a strong temperance man, for aught we know Is a rrohibitionist, and this em phasizes the matter, that even those who take unto themselves the claim of all the morality and good citizenship of the city may be so blind as not to see even common sense and fairness. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Wellington Young; Man Despondent and Sick. Wellington, Kan., July 2. Bert Brown, a young man who worked at Seymour's livery- stable last winter, attempted suicide about 11 o'clock Monday night by swallowing 10 cents worth of strych nine. After Bwallowing the drug he went to the home of his wife's parents, at 909 West Harvey, and told them what he had done. Dr. J. A. Rae was cAlled and soon brought the young man out of danger by the use of the Stomach pump. Brown is about 22 years old and was married to Gertrude Frank, of this city, about a year ago. Brown has spent most of his time since then out of town, but has been in town about three weeks. His action was not much of a surprise to those acquainted with him as he was of a very peculiar nature and liked to talk of his family affairs. Shortly aft er his marriage he deserted his wife, and his last advent in the city was the first time he has shown himself here. Brown was pretty well under the ef fects of the drug when the doctor ar rived, and considerable difficulty was experienced in keeping him awake, but be Is resting all right -today. BEET CROP INJURED. Sheriff Jessup Reports Bad Condi tions at Garden City. Hutchinson, July 2. Sheriff Jessup, f Garden City, was rn town on busi ness. He says there are not so many beets there this year as last, as the freeze late in May hurt the crop con siderably and some of it was not re planted. There was a hail storm later Which did considerable damage but the crop is looking fairly well although not as fine as last season. Last year Finney county in the vicin ity of Garden City raised beets with the largest percentage of saccharine mat ter of any place in the Arkansas valley To have something to say that is the essential condi tion of Art Ernest Renin A truth ever borne ia mind by the makers of Gorham Silver Irom the smallest to the greatest, each of their pro ductions says something often in simple, but always in beautiful language. All responsible) jewelers keep it M Gig rrwuwo and the beet factory people were pleased with the- results. There was some talk a year ago that there might be a fac tory there in the future, but Sheriff Jessup Fays thi3 matter is not talked about this year at all. WEATHER FOR JUNE. Dr. F. H. Snow Says the Month Was Exceeding Cool. Lawrence, Kan., July 2. The monthly weather report of Dr. F. H. Snow of the L'niveislty of Kansas says of tne weather for June that the month was an exceedingly cool one, with much less than the average wind. Its mean tem perature was lower than that of any preceding June on the thirty-five years' record. The mercury reached 90 de grees on only one day. Altogether, the temperature of the month was quite agreeable for comfort; no oppression was felt until the 2Mh. when the mer cury rose steadily, reaching 1 degrees on the 30th. The remarkable lack of a stirring breeze for many hours at a time during several days has lowered the monthly run far below any previous record in thirty years.

Iiain in measurable quantities fell on twelve days, in quantities too small for measurement on one day. There were six thunderstorms. GOT HI3 CLOTHES. Sumner County Man Opposed to Im porting Help.

Cleveland, July 2. Lou Dillon broke all records here 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, and the California mare was driven by her owner, C. K. G. Billings of Chicago, to beat her own mark of 2:06'i, gained at the last, matinee of the Gentlemen's Driving club two weeks ago. In consequence of protracted rains Lou Dillon had been idle during these two weeks and the track today was not In the best of shape. The trial was made with a runner, driven by Charles Tanner, which went ahead about Ave lengths and maintain ed that position until the three-quarters pole was reached. The mare had been going like a veteran all the dis tance. At the three-quarter pole the runner was pulled to allow Lou Dillon to come up alongside. The stretch was entered at great speed. The 1,500 spec tators who had been timing the mare at the quarters had become excited as the watches indicated that all lecords would be broken and as the trotter passed the stand arose en masse. The mile was made in 2:04, the horse finishing strong and seemingly ready to cover the distance a second time. The fractional time was: 0:31; 1:03; 1:34; 2:04. The crowd cheered both Lou Dillon and Mr. Billings and the latter was obliged to recognize the applause by re peatedly raising his cap when he drove the trotting queen back to the waiting stable boys. "I certainly believe that if the horse is alive who can lower Cresceus' time it is Lou Dillon," said Mr. Billings after the matinee. Others who expressed themselves as of the opinion that Lou Dillon was the coming champion trotter were John Splan, Myron McHenry and Ed Geers, all of whom have driven champions and witnessed today's remarkable perform ance.

rrtr1 Hundreds of times Topeka citizens say so. Their testimony is positive You can prove it any day. Here is the statement of one Topeka man: Mr. David Coddinsrton of 1007 Woodward avenue, says: "I had kidney com plaint for about two years, and suffered fromsevere pains In my back, which was very depressing. When in a stooped position for a time it was only with great difficulty that I could straighten. I could not rest well at night, but kept turning and twisting in order to get a little relief. Any cold that I caught went right to my back. I was in pretty bad shape when I procured Doan's KicU ney Pills at Rowley Snow's drug btore and took them. Within a week 1 was positively relieved and I now have no pain in my back whatever." Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale the first round and later started his nose bleeding.

Billy Lauder of the Giants has a brother who is shining as a star of the New Haveu team. It must feel odd to Manager Loftus to be relieved of seeing the Senators play for five days. The Senators should smash the ball on the nose instead of getting smashed on the nose themselves. The western fans are getting their first peep at Shortstop Moran.

RAILRQADJIE17S. Wichita Wins Partial Victory Oiev Kailroads. They Comply With Demands Concerning Sugar Kates. CASE IS DISMISSED. Commissioner Fifer Writes the Final Opinion. Nothing Said About Kates on Lumber and Commodities. Wnshinston, July 2. The intprstate commerce commission in an opinion by Commissioner Fifer dismissed the cas of the mayor and city council of Wich ita, Kansas, neainst the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe and others, the de fendant roads having complied with the contention of the compainants by the establishment and publication of rate? on ugar from Siifrar City and Rocky Ford, Colorado, to Wichita and Hutch inson, Kansas, no higher than those ir. Uect to Kansas City. The above decision of the commerce commission seem to be a partial vic tory for the people of Wichita over the San ta Fc. Hock Island, and other lines f 'reaching that city. The complaint as originally filed before the commission related to lumber, machinery and a good many other commodities which Wichita claimed were charged at an unfair r.te. The discrimination, it was claimed by Wichita, enabled Kansas City jobbers to send their wares to southern points for less freight charga than was exact ed from He Wichita merchants. This put the Vi hit:i merchants at a great tiisadvantage, and resulted in the tiling of charges before the commerce com mission. The chaises were liled about eix months ago.. IMPROVEMENTS A PLENTY. Southern Pacific to Rebuild IU San Bernardino Terminals. San Bernardino. Cal., July 2. Orders have been sent out toconcentrate South ern Pacific construction foices in this ttty at once, and continuing for about rive months, that company will have a large number of men employed in track laying and building of new terminals, involving an estimated cash outlay of Jio.OOO. There will be no further delay," said Superintendent Ingram yesterday. "Or ders have been given to notify all ten ants to vacate, the buildings now oc cupying our property fronting on Third street will be advertised for sale and bids taken on the material in them. We are ready for the work, and the people of San J-ernardino can be certain that nothing will be permitted to stop It. If necessary to use more forcible means than we have yet done to clear up one or two matters that have been hanging fire, you can rely on it that we know v how to do even that, and that the time A has come for any measures that may 'Y be necessary to make way for our San T. Bernardino Improvements. We want new terminals in San Bernardino quite r 'as much as the people do, and we and they shall have them." Agent Frank Donnatin was about the Third street property yesterday evening and will finish uj the work this morn ing, giving the tenants 30 days' notice to vacate, and asking them to move out sooner it possible. This will be followed by a call for bids on the work of tear ing down the buildings that now oc cupy the 147 feet of frontage, including the motor depot. All of these are to be toin down and removed to make way for the new passenger station, which will be located some distance back from Third street, serharis iiU feet, with the epace in fiont parked. According to what Mr. Ingram says, the freight station will be first built, and will be located on the west side of the tracks, as they now run, and just nouth of Second street. The size of the freight depot will be 1M)x45 feet, and a number of tracks will be laid in front of it, to take care of the many freight cars which are expected to be used in delivering Sao Bernardino freight. Af the the freight station is completed, the passenger quarters aud agent's offices will probably be moved to the new building, and temporarily housed whil" the new passenger station is being built. This will stand parallel to the tracks, with sheds or an arcade over the track, nnd the 50 or 60 feet of snace that will lie between it and the street will be put Into grass nnd flowers, with shrubbery, Of Insanity Despite Doctor s Care. ?7crvous Cramos in "anas ana fleet.

TRAINMASTER DAY QUITS. Result of Investigation of a Santa Fe Detective-Switchman. San Bernardino, Cal., July 2. Train master Day, who for some months has occupied that responsible position for this divison of the Santa Fe, has an nounced his resignation, to take effect at once. The step has been anticipated and is the climax of the troubles wnicn have been brewing about the depot for months, beginning publicly when Mr. Day let out Day Yardmaster W. H. Halstead and made room for a man whose position was obtained through an examination obtained by another person, and who was totally unable physically to ppss the examination him self. The matter embroiled the other switchmen and those who were not dis missed resigned, Halstead being follow ed a few days later by Engine Foreman W. M. Davidson, both of whom read ily obtained good positions with the Southern Pacific. Matters went from bad to worse, until W. H. Barr, the switchman-detective, arrived on the scene and gradually wormed out of persons in authority the true state of affairs, finally making out his report to General Manager Wells In which he made numerous charges against the trainmaster, and accompanied his re port with affidavits of persons who swore to the truth of what he had writ ten. Persons in touch with the Ios Angeles office are authority for the statement that Barr s return to ban Bernardino was solely to investigate the condition of local affairs, and having completed his labors he had been pass ed along to another quarter which re quiries investigation. Since the trou bles in the yard began the company has been regularly losing something like nineteen and twenty hours a day of labor, or in other words the yird work was always that many hours behind time. Recently a special agent from Los Ang'les for three nights and days running kept tab on the work, and no doubt his findings have had as much weight as Birr s charges in bringing about the resignation of Mr. Day. Mr. Day will probably return to the American Bridge company at Pitts burg, from which he resigned last Sep tember to take his present position with the Santa Fe here, succeeding C. C. Wvay, resigned. Roy Day. who has been stenographer for Chief Clerk St"pher. of Superintendent Beamer's offioe, also resigns. ROCK ISLAND NOT THERE. Still Stays Away from the Western Passenger Association. Chicago, July 2. Lines in the Western Passenger associaton are to have an opportunity to record their votes on the adoption of the proposed northern mile age bureau ticket. This additional move in the direction of settling the ex isting mileage trouble was taken yes terday at an informal meeting of mem bers of the association. The meeting of the members and offi cials of the Western Passenger associa tion yesterday was not attended by the Rock Island, which was the opponent of the proposition when it was submit ted last Friday. The Rock Island as a member of the mileage bureau of the Western Passenger association will be called upon to vote on the amended proposition. That its vote will be, like the ballot cast last week, in opposition to the general plan is expected. A call has been issued for the next regular meeting of the Western Passen ger association to be held at Mackinac island Monday, July 13. A long list of subjects, mostly relating to rules governing excursion and special pirty rates, is on the docket. The advisabil ity of granting stop-over privileges on all tickets through St. Louis during 1904 has heen brought up by the re quest of George W. Ristine. director of transportation for the Louisiana pur chase exposition, and this will be con sidered by the association members. AN IMMIGRATION SCHEME. Chicago Starts a Movement to Aid Deserving Foreigners. Chicago, July 2. A plan of interna tional scope for the aid of deserving emigrants from every clime was broach ed at a meeting of Chicago men in terested in practical philanthropy held at Kinsley's last evening. The con gested and famine-stricken districts of Norway, Sweden.

UNFORTUNATE CLERK. Crippled in the Santa. Fe Shops at Albuquerque. Albuquerque, N. July 2. G. P. Clark, distribution clerk at the local Santa Fe offices met with a painful ac cident yesterday morning which may result in the loss of the right foot.

Clark is a young unmarried man liv ing with his mother on North Second street. The accident will lay him up for many weeks to come and the chances are he will be crippled for life. THIS BEATS SPIT. Old Fashioned Method of Treating Fish Bait Is Eclipsed. Brakeman Bill Gordan's fish bait in vention worked like a charm, says the Emporia Gazette. He and Pittenger went out last night to give it a thor ough trial and there was a lively strug gle o.mong the fish in the Cottonwouti to see which would be the first to get hold the baits. The fishermen had a couple of trot lines across the river and caught nine big ones anywhere from four to eight pounds and a lot of small er ones. It was all on account of that bait invention. Gordan made a mixture which he put on the bait and attracted the fish. New Railroad Built on Paper. .Blackwell, Okla., July 2.

Karl Case of the trainmaster's office has secured a position at the general offices in the office of J. W. White, auditor of dis bursements. Lyndon Day of the bridges and buildings department takes Mr. Case s old place and is succeeded in the bridges and building department by William Owen, formerlv a stenographer in the trainmas ter's office. George McClellan takes Mr. Owen's old place. Saul Joseph, the local representative of the Santa Fe news service, is happy again. The new news stand at the Santa Fe de pot has been finished completely and nil cf Mr. Joseph's stock has been transferred from the old stand. The old stand hat heen remodeled and will hereafter serve as a private office of T. L. King, the local ticket agent. Mr. Joseph' says that here after he will only keep those goods in stock for which there is the greatest de mand. He will not carry as many curios as he has done in the past. Topeka does not seem to be a good curio town. Period icals will compose the best part of the stock. One feature of Mr. Joseph's new stand, which is worthy of mention is his cigar case. It contains a very fine line of choice Havanas.- nl CLEM EX S MAKES ANSWER. Takes Exception to an Editorial Con cerning Cause of Flood. To the Editor of the State Journal: I had not supposed that, outside the novels which portray" the malice of Christian love in olden days, there could be found in these days of enlight enment, toleration and kindly broad charity such a manifestation of mali cious, vicious, pious, fanatic hate as within a few hours I have chanced to come across right here in Topeka. I am not, for some unexplained reason, on the free list of the Kansas Prohibi tionist, and it sometimes takes five or- six years for me to learn that the paper has had something in it; but the other day I discovered the following edito rial published June 12, in the midst of the suffering from the flood: SWIFT RETRIBUTION. With Topeka's calamity by the flood fol owing so swiftly after Governor Bailev's setting aside the verdict of God by the votes of his people in his act of appoint ing Hayden as probate judge of Shawnee Co., Kans., and the appointment by Judge Hazen, of ("Beer O.

Thus he is sent to ves Washington for his home town. Diamond Is the pet and favorite of the (and, by the way said mayor lived In the smitten part of town) can we doubt the calamity being-swift vengeance from God.' But some will say whv should so many good people have suffered? Many. I might say most, of those good people held their peace or openly advocated the election of the wolf in sheep's clothing, the men who work and vote with the "bum rum" ele ment of society, who are the teeth, so to speak, while THEY are the muscles that work the jaws of the "wolf" that is tear ing society to pieces. "How long, ye sim ple, will ye LOVE simplicity How long will ye accept promistg from a party that has continually broken them? The paper through which this cruel utterance was made is the official organ of the Kansas Prohibition party, and doubtless voices the sentiments of that organization; in view of which I con gratulate the other political parties of Kansas that these heartless maleon tents have gone out of them into a party -of their own. When this atro cious editorial was penned the people of the whole country had their human, their Christian, sympathies aroused and were doing all in their power to stenv the tide of misery. The very probata judge and county, attorney this edi torial prates of had been for a week at the river working day and night to help rescue women and children cling. ing to trees. People permitted political dogmas to be forgotten. In the pres ence of appalling disaster partisanship. was dumb. Even the political econo mist forgot for the moment that calam ities which destroy human life are beneficent means of preventing nooula tion from outstripping subsistence, and Herbert Spencer's followers forgot in their excitement the beautiful doctrine or the survival of the fittest. All who had money, or clothes, or food, or shelter hastened in a frenzy of humanity to offer what they had to the victims all but the devout members of the Prohibition party. These gave nothing. To have given aught to re lieve the misery would have been sinful an interference with the efforts of an offended Deity to punish North Topeka for permitting Governor Bailey to make Hayden probate judge and Judge Hazen to make Otis Hungate county attorney! When a loving God is drowning babies in North Topeka because Governor Bai ley, who lives on high ground on the south side, has appointed probate judge a man who also lives on high ground on the south side, and because Judge Ha sen, safe from the flood, has appointed another sinner, also safe from the flood, county attorney, it would be a crime almost equivalent to the police court crime of resisting an officer to inter the little bodies or even to com fort the bereaved parents who have sur vived. That poor girl who worked long and hard in the Woolen mill and was drowned while seeking to reach her humble home, with only the pitiless black heavens to appeal to In her terror and agony, was destroyed by an aveng ing God because Judge Hazen had ap pointed Hungate instead of Dumenil county attorney! This being so, it were blasphemy to shed a tear while gazing upon her upturned pallid face. Tom Mc Neal. Harold Chase, the Larimers, Wil lis Gleed did these vote for Emerson? Yet they escaped unharmed. God's vengeance was reserved for helplesS women and babes. If it be really true that the universe harbors such a god as these Prohibition fanatics adore, what need have we of Satan? What fiendish work remains for him to do? This editorial does but indicate the real malevolence of what these people are pleased to call "Christian temper ance" or sometimes "The love of God shed abroad in the heart." I imagine that when He contemplates such wor shippers, atheism becomes popular with the Almighty. Let every flood sufferer hasten to sub scribe for the Kansas Prohibitionist, and when next time Brother Emerson comes around, turn out to his meetings. At the next election shall we not all with pride and swelling gratitude vote the Prohibition ticket? I might remark that I think the Al mighty began His flood a good ways up country, and that He carried the joke too far when tie drowned Kansas Citv and East St. Louis because Shawnee county had been given a brace of offi cers who do not drink cordwood as a regular beverage; but I refrain.

The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of fe male disease. Mrs. Emma Mitchell. 520 Louisiana street. Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "Peruna has certainly been a bless ing In disguise to me, for when I first began taking it for troubles peculiar to the sex and a generally worn out sys tem, I had little faith. For the past five years I have rarely been without pain, but Pe runa has changed all this, and In a very short time. I think I had only taken two bottles before I began to recuperate very quickly, and seven bottles made me well. I do not have headache or backache any more, and have some Interest in life. I give all credit where it Is due. and that Is to Peruna." Emma Hitchell. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by ca tarrh. They are catarrh of the organ which is affected. These women despair of recovery.

There was not much in the Hillmon case for Mrs. Hillmon or for the insur ance companies but the lawyers had a good time with it. Since Russia has declared that she will not receive "a petition at the hands of the United States, how would it do to ship it in labeled "books" or "old clothes." Capitalists residing in Topeka may not have noted the fact, but new buildings tan always find good tenants at remunerative figures long before they reach completion. Secretary Shaw has reduced the an nual interests charges against the gov ernment to the CtfUent of $1,339,962 through the medium of his refunding operation by which outstanding gov ernment bonds have been converted into others bearing a lower rate of interest. There is a slight falling off in the amount paid out for pensions, but the army and navy both cost more last ye.ir than they did the previous year. It looks ns though the Standpatters, under the leadership of Senator Hariua, are determined to furnish the Demo crats with u cood. live issue on which to make the campaign next year. The hint thrown out by the Iowa Demo crats, In their recently formulated platform, about tariffs which build up monopolies, etc., seems to have been thrown away on their Republican brethren. Since William Allen White attracted the attention of the country with his "What's the Matter with Kansas he has had many imitators. It has come to be considered a matter of prime necessity by young aspirants for lit erary fame in this state that each should write a piece about the matter with Kansas. About the most serious drawback with which Kansas has to contend is the fact that there are too many talkers and writers for the num ber of workers. The tariff plank prepared by Senator Allison for the Iowa Republicans says the schedule should be changed from time to time but no where indicates that the time for a change has arrived. Here lies the difference between the follow ers of Gov. Cummins and the Stand patters. The Cummins crowd thinks the time for readjustment is here but prob ably have been forced to yield their views in ord-.r to secure renomimitions for the men constituting the present administration. The summary of the operations of the United States treasury for the fiscal year closing June SO shows that the old Sherman notes have nearly disap peared, there being but about 10 mil lion dollars in that form of currency left, as against 0 millions at the be ginning of the year. The silver which they 1 eprese nted is being coined into doll. ms and into pubsidinry coin at a rapid rate, and they will soon disap pear entirely from our currency sys tem. When they are gone perhaps there will be another attack on the greenbacks.

GROWTH OF RAILWAYS. On June 30, 1902, the total single-track railway mileage in the United States was 202.471.85 miles, this mileage hav ing Increased during the year 5,234.41 miles, this Increase being greater than that for any other year since 1890. The 21 states and territories for which an Increase In mileage in excess of 100 miles is shown are as follows: Arkan sas, California, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. The reports made by carriers to the Interstate commerce commission cover nearly all the railway mileage in the country other than that of street lines. For the year under review the operated mileage respecting which detailed re turns were made was 200.154.56 miles, Including 5,387.11 miles of line on which trackage privleges were exercised. In cluding tracks of all kinds, the aggre gate length of railway mileage was 274, 195.36 miles, which was classified as fol lows: Single track, 209.154.56 miles; sec ond track. 13,720.72 miles; third track, 1,204.04 miles; fourth track, 895.11 miles, nd yard track and sidings, 58.220.93 miles. From these figures it is noted that there was an increase of 8.843.07 miles in the aggregate lengtH of all tracks, of which 3,306.07 miles, or 37.33 per cent, were due to the increase in yard track and sidings. The number of the railway corpora tions Included In the report was 2,037. Of this number 1,016 maintained operat ing accounts, 784 being classed as inde pendent operating roads and 232 as sub sidiary roads. Of roads operated under lease or some other form of contract, 321 received a fixed money rental, 165 a contingent money rental, and 257 were operated under some other form of agreement or control. During the year railway companies owning 7,385.99 miles of line were reorganized, merged, con solidated, etc. The corresponding Item for 1901 was 8,969.55 miles. JAYHAWKER JOTS.

GLOBE SIGHTS. IFrom the Atchison Global Anything looks pretty nice when a boy says of it that it looks good enough to eat. Mrs. Jerome Hoover is starting In pretty well tor a bride: she has twenty two hens setting already. It costs more to get a tan on a girl's face in summer, by the vacation route, that it costs to get it off in winter with, cosmetics. An Atchison gossip Is wringing her hands in agony. Recently a Juicy mor sel appeared and was gone before she heard of it. Women anxious to marry should know that a widow and an invalid make a. combination that the men cannot get away from. When a new daughter-in-law makes, a visit to her husband's old home, she goes away with a collection of baby pictures of her husband. An Atchison girl has a father, two uncles, two grandfathers and five brothers to engage horses and give hot pursuit if she ever elopes. We have found that before we get around to accept an invitation to "eat cherries off the tree," the tree has been stripped and the cherries are in cans. What is worrying us now is that when we die we may fall into the hands of an undertaker who hasn't a framed diplo ma showing that he is a graduate. The man who goes away from home, and makes a fortune, has to do some thing more than send Christmas gifts to his kin at home, or his old friends will not believe it. It is becoming harder for the married men every day. Formerly, all that was expected of the bridegroom was to have his wife's teeth fixed; now he Is ex pected to pay for an operation, in ad dition.

Secretary Hitchcock has removed Clarence TJ. Douglas from the position of clerk in the office of Agent Schoenfeldt at Mus kogee. This action by the secretary is the result of charges of irregulari ties in connection with the Creek allot ments filed at the interior department by A. P. Murphy, attorney for th Creek nation. Agent Schoenieldt ;s also implicated, although the allega tions in his case are not so specific o so serious as those made against Douglas. Schoenfeldt will have an op portunity to answer the charges against him, as Secretary Hitchcock has de cided to give him a hearing. The re. movai of Douglas has caused a row in the Creek nation, as Chief Pleasant Porter, who is friendly to Douglas, re sents Murphy's action in fighting tha charges. Telegrams were received at the interior department today from 1'orter and others influential in th councils of the Creeks asking thai Douglas be given a hearing. .Murphy and George Wright, agent for tho Indian Territory, reached Washing ton last Saturday morning. They had an interview that lasted more than an hour with Secretary Hitchcock Satur day afternoon and again yesterday they wero at the secretary's office. They also had a talk with Commissioner Jones of the I ndian bureau. No one at the in terior department or at Mr. Jones' office would? discuss the business that brought them tt" Washington. It was learned to day, however, that Murphy had pre ferred A'le charges and that Wright had practicably substantiated them. They are voluminous, consisting of nearly l wenty type-written pages. Murphy cliarges Schoenfeldt and Doug las with svjpplying outside persons in terested in the allotment of the Creek lands with advance information; with refusing to remove intruders and with generally disregarding the orders of tne secretary of the interior. Murphy filed the charges as the representative of the Creek nation. Upon receiving a report fromr Inspec tor Wright. confirming Murphy's charges. Secret! ry Hitchcock telegraph ed Agent Schoenfeldt to dismiss Doug las immediately. In his telesrram tne secretary notified Schoenfoldt that charges had also been preferred against him, and that he would be given an op portunity to disprove them. Although the secretary gave no Inti mation as to who iiad filed the charges, Pleasant Porter and the other officials of the Creek nation evidently conclud ed that Murphy was their author, for shortly after the secretary's message was sent Porter wired Murphy notify- I ing him of the Creek officials disap- oval of nis Cours.;. and that idpred it a breach of official ji..-..ti f courtesy. fa-K?r ZL7,77i, Creeks also wir hStandiat the home of Mr. Howard Hillis, SU4 Mi judgment and give Douglas an oppor tunity to De neara.

Fred Vandegrift's pocketbook, loaded to the guards with railroad and Pullman passers, hs been returned. Thfc passes were intact and in a good state of preservation. An alarm of lire was sounded at 11 o'clock this morning. The fire was in a coal shed belonging to M. L. Srech rt 629 Caandler street. It was filled with stored furniture. The damage was very slight.

'In the hall they have the loveliest pair of antler's horns yon ever saw,' she said. 'And the hall has been entirely ruminated.' I suppose she meant renovated.

4f TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 2, 1903. A r 7 li LOS Lii UNCLE SAM'S REPLY. Russia's Bluff Regarding Jewish Petition Is'Called. Washington, July 2. The position of the administration regarding- the pro posed transmission of the petition of the Jewish citizens of the United States to the Russian government was made very clear and positive by a statement auth orized by the state department last night. This statement was inspired by newspaper publication reflecting the at titude of the Russian government in the event of the presentation of such a petition through tne medium of the United States embassy at St. Peters burg, which had been brouffht to the attention of high ol!icer3 of the govern ment. It was given very careful con sideration both here and at Oyster Bay before a decision was reached to make any declaration regarding the matter. The statement is as follows: "At the state department it was stated by a high official in the absence of Sec retary Hay, that the delay in forward ing the petition of the American citi zens of the Jewish faith as to the ill treatment of their co-religionists in Russia, was solely due to the delay in furnishing the addresses to the state de partment by the petitioners. The state department would, of course, pay no heed to any statement purporting to emanate from the Russian government, unlesa such statement was made offi cially in some form or other to our gov ernment. "The state department has been espe cially careful to act only in accordance with all requirements of official pro priety, but within the limts thus laid down it will most certainly not hesitate to give expression to the deep sympathy fi It, not only by the administration, but by all the American people, for the un fortunate Jews who have been the vic tims in the recent appalling massacres and outrages. "In this connection it was pointed out by another official, who disclaimed any purpose to speak in his official capacity, however, that it seemed somewhat strange, to say the least, that the Rus sian government should choose this par ticular method of making a statement to the American people at the very time when by methods which are certainly the reverse of friendly to the United States. It has sought to make China join In breaking the plighted faith of all the powers as to the open door In Man churia, and has endeavored to bar our people from access to the Manchurian trade." The above statement was shown to Count Cassini. the Russian ambassador, but ho declined to make itny statement. Any reply to this statement must be made under direct instructions from St. Petersburg. It is realized, both nt the state depart ment and the Russian embassy that the situation is extremely delicate. Oyster Hay, July 2 Action hv the Uni ted States government in transmitting the petition of the citizens of this countty of the Jewish and of other religious faiths mill not be affected by the inspired an nouncement of the Russian government, given to the public today. It evidently is the Intention of the administration to for ward the iM-titton as soon as it is In readi ness. This was rend'-red certain by a statement made here tonight by an au thority which says: "The action of the administration in vt frnice to the outrages on the Russian Jews would be wholly unaffected by any newspnper publication purporting to ema nate from the Russian government, or by any communication not properly forward ed to the state department." President Roosevelt declined to discuss for publication the statement authorized by the Russian government. He snid -lnv presentation of the position of this gov ernment ought properly to come from the state department. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

ZEIS NEW TELEPHONE CABLES. After Great Difficulties Service to Kansas City, Kas., Is Resumed. Kansas City, July 2. The telephone company was finally successful yester day In repairing the break In the cable at Santa Fe and Ninth streets. As soon as this was repaired It established tele phonic connection with Kansas City, Kan., which had been off for over a week. The local 'phones, thrown out of commission by the break, were also put in operation once more. Considerable difficulty was experi enced by the men at work on the break yesterday. When the water had been pumped from the conduit and the men at work relaying a cable another break was made in the pipe and the conduit was again flooded. It was again pumped clear of water and the cable laid successfully. It is not thought that the Hickory station will be opened for work within two weeks. A carload of cables has been billed to Kansas City for work at this station, but the telephone people have not been able to locate it. Most of the cables in this district, it is believed, were ruined by the flood, but R is not known how much Is included in the damaged territory. Work will be push ed on this branch as fast as possible. DOCTORS ARE NAMED. President J. W. TiHany Names His St aft Dr. J. W.

MINERS WANT MORE. W1U Ask for Increase of Wages July 8. On July 8 the coal miners of Kansas. Missouri, Texas, Arkansas and Indian Territory will hold a convention at Pittsburg, Kas., and agree upon a de mand for 12 per cent, increase in wages, and for a uniform scale for the miners of all the states represented. John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, is to come to Kansas and conduct the negotia tions for the acceptance of the pro poped scale. The scale will be present ed to the meeting of mine operators to be held at Pittsburg on July 13. The chances are very good for a gen eral strike of all the coal miners in the states affected. The operators say they are paying all they can afford to pay to the miners, and will resist any in crease. Meantime the consumers of coal will continue to suffer. The combine of op erators has very little sympathy from people who have to buy coal. Th have marked up the price of coal about a dollar a ton higher than it ever has been before, and evidently intend t keep the price where it was during the anthracite strike last winter.

Women Also Discuss the Flood ltelief Work. SELL MASY BOOKS. Federation Flood History Has Found Heady Sale. Mrs. Mulrane Reports on State Federation Meeting. Hot weather usually has a dire effect on club enthusiasm and the postponed meeting of the Topeka federation which should have been held the first Thurs day in June but was put off on account of the flood and took place at Unity church Wednesday afternoon was attended by a comparatively small number of the local club women. The auditorium of the church which is commonly crowded on these occasions was only comforta bly filled. Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of Kins ley, president of the state federation was the honored suest and principal speaker of the afternoon. Mrs. Clarence Case Godard, president of the city fed eration of Leavenworth, was also pres ent and talked a little of tne relief work done by the Leavenworth clubs during the recent Hood, in the 'flood sym posium" with which the meeting open ed and to which Mrs. Harry o. Gar vey, Mrs. Charles F. Spencer, Mrs. Wm. A. Johnston, Mrs. De Witt C. Nellis, Mrs. John C. McClintock and Mrs. v m iam A. McCarter added brief remarks about the relief work done in Topeka. Airs. Johnston and Mrs. G. O. Huron referred to the free kindergarten and day nursery which has been started in the social settlement building at the corner of Fourth avenue and Jackson street and appealed to the club women in behalf of this worthy charity. Mrs. Garvey spoke particularly of the feder ation history of the flood by Margaret Hill McCarter, advance copies of which were shown at the meeting and which will be ready for distribution in a few days. Mrs. Garvey praised the pamph let very warmly and moved a rising vote of thanks to the author who un dertook the arduous task of compiling and writing a history very reluctantly but who has done her work faithfully and well. Thebookisentitled'TheOver tlowlng Waters," and has an advance sale ot almost 2,000 copies. It is a model of typographical taste and skill and is copiously illustrated from photographs. Mrs. Lewis' paper on "Educational Ideals" was heard with much interest. Her pica was for the development of the individuality of the child, and for the cultivation in him of the perfect con science. She urged the parent and teacher to remember the value of poetry and music in the development of the fine things; of the spirit quoting an au thor who has doubted if a woman who does not love and appreciate poetry and who Is unable to sing ought to marry. She referred her listeners to Bishop Spalding's writings on educa tion and quoted generously from the best writers and thinkers on education al subjects showing a deep Interest and thorough study of her subject. Educa tion, the mental, moral and spiritual training of the child is a special hobby of Mrs. Lewis who is the mother of three children. She thought manual training should be a part of the educa tion of every child. Mrs. llorton, president of the city federation, who presided at the meeting called attenion to the work of the civics committee which is laboring with the merchants or Topeka to persuade them to close their stores at 6 o'clock on Saturday nights this summer the same as last. Several have consented and the president thought the others could be Influenced by a word from their club women customers. The work of the last civics committee which resulted in giv ing n.ost of the clerks in town their Saturday evenings last summer was so greatly appreciated and the plan was found so generally successful that the new committee will doubtless have little trouble in getting It adopted this sea son. Mrs. T. F. Garver asked the club wo men to. contribute books for a library for the Florence Crittenton mission on Quinton Heights. Each woman is ask ed to give at least one book and they may be left at Mrs. Garver's home on Harrison street.

LITTAUER EXPLAINS. Firm Had No Connection With Lyon's Glove Contracts. Gloversville, N. Y., July 2. Congress man Lucius N. Littauer. commenting upon criticism of him in connection with a glove contract between the gov ernment and Esmond R. Lyon, in which the firm of Littauer Brothers, com posed of himself and his brother Eugene, was inrlii t-ctly involved, says: "Edmond R. Lyon was for many years a successful bidder on United States army contracts for muskrat fur caps and muskrat fur gauntlet gloves. When we succeeded to the business of my father twenty years ago we con tinued to receive from Lyon orders to manufacture such gauntlets, which had been made by my father, and did so until Lyon's defalcation and bank ruptcy. "About the time of the war with Spain, the United States army adopted for a part of its equipment a buckskin gauntlet. Standard samples and. first goods made in accordance thfrewith were manufactured by the firm of Dan iel Hays Co. of Gloversville. Air. Lyon entered into negotiations with our firm for the manufacture for him of buckskin gauntlets, stating that he was a general contractor for such articles and asked us the price at which we would furnish him gauntlets according to the United States standard require ments. We gave him the price. When ever he succeeded in getting a contract at such prices as he would himself de termine, he placed orders with our firm to manufacture the?"- gauntlets, giving mow uuiiuus iu snip mem to the arsenal at Philadelphia. In course of time the orders were filled and bills for ship ments made were delivered to Lyon at the prices agreed upon. "Our firm had no interest in these contracts. We simply sold our goods to Lyon. We entered into no contract whatever with him prior to the receipt of the various contracts by him. "We have been well aware that the United States army authorities knew that we were the manufacturers of these gauntlets which we., sold to Lyon to be delivered to the quartermaster's depart ment, ior at one time during the Span ish war w hen supplies were most need ed an inspector from the quartermas ter's department visited our 'artnrv nr1 took full note of our stock of leather ana our aDinties to produce the gaunt lets which we had sold to Lyon and Lyon had sold to the government. "I have ever insisted that Lyon should not be permitted to be discharged as a bankrupt and have courted all possible publicity concerning our transactions." herIagets" it. Contract for Printing Money Order Blanks Is Awarded. Washington, July 2. Postmaster General Payne has awarded the con tract for printing the money order blanks of the government to Paul Her man of Rutherford, N. J. Mr. Herman was the lowest of fourteen bidders, and the award of the contract, which in volves the payment -of between $300,000 and $350,000 during the next fiscal year, will effect a saving of nearly $45,000 in the four years' contract. Herman's bid was opposed by the present con tractors, the Wynkoop-Hallenbreck-Crawford company of New York and by the United Typothetae of America. Superintendents Metcalfe of the money order bureau was dismissed some days ago on the charge of discrimination in seeking the withdrawal of Herman as a bidder in favor of the present con tractor. At a final hearing before the post master general Herman furnished an affidavit that he had been employed by the present contractor for nearly ten years and had no idea of competing with them when he left their employ, which, he said, was before the specifica tions were taken up. He made search for work, and says that he concluded he had been practically blacklisted in the trade, and thereupon decided to start out for himself on a financial backing proffered by an intimate friend. He submitted other evidence to show that he was not a straw bidder, as al leged, and swore that he has not direct ly or indirectly, assigned any interest whatever in the contract. He testified that the firm which objected to his se curing the contract offered to re-employ him, after the bids had been opened, at an increased salary, provided he would withdraw his bid. which offer he reject ed. Mr. Hallenbeck. Herman said, of fered him if he would withdraw his bid. $60 a week and a large part of 25 per cent of the net profits of his business which he would guarantee to be at least $5,000 a year, in addition to bis salary. He said Mr. Tooker of the Metropolitan Printing company offered to pay him $5,000 if he would agree to execute the contract In that establishment and let them share the contract and to make a contract for five years to pay him $100 per week salary. These propositions he rejected. KNOCKED DOWS TWICE. A Wall Street Operator Tries a Bout With, His Coachman- New York, July 2.

The bankers' commis sion has informed the ministers that the semi-annual installment of the Chinese indemnity was paid Tuesday in silver at Shanghai and was received under the usual protest on account of being tendered at tael rate, 22 cents below the current exchange.

Sometimes It is good to be in a posi tion where you can turn around to your shelves and take down food that is a rebuilder and life saver. A prominent grocer of Murrysville. Pa., had heard so many of hi customers praising the food Grape-Nnts that he finally gave it a trial himself. He says: "For sev eral years up to 16 months ago I was hardly fit for business from indiges tion, which aUo affected my head. My brain was dull, and I could hardly keep mv booiis. ''One day I heard one of my custom ers praising the food Grape-Xuts so highly that I wondered if it would fit my case, so I took a package from the shelf and said that I would use it, and even if it failed I would not.be much the !o.Kr. "But before I had finished that on? package such a change came over me that I thought ft wonderful, and by the time three packages had been eaten 1 had changed so you would not believe it if I told you about it. My head grew clear and my mind strong, and my memory vas very much improved, and I was will in every respect. I can only give yof. a faint idea of all the good the foot', has done me. It is all I eat for supper nowadays, and th rest of mv familv think as much of it as I do. Truly it is a great food, and if it were net a great fond it would not have done me so much good and have such a tremendous sale in my store." Nam given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Vinewood park will not be opened to the public for the Fourth of July busi ness this year. The announcement was made officially this afternoon by L. E. Myers, vice president of the Topeka Railway company, who reached Topeka this afternoon to devote a few days to plans lor work on the street railway service here. Mr. Myers and other of ficers of the railway went to Vinewood park this afternoon to look at the work there and make plans for the location of the summer theater, cafes and lunch stands. None of the buildings are up there nad fast work will have to be done to net them in shape for use in time to be of proiit to the company this year. In rosara to the decision to postpone the opening Mr. Myers said: "We have decided not to attempt to open Vinewood park for the Fourth. We're not ready for it either at the park or on .our tracks. We don't think we have enough cars to handle the volume of business. More are on the way, trail ers and motors. Our underneath equip ment is insufficient to stand the racket and we want to put a few days more work on the track before we open things tip. If we did open the service on the Fourth of July and hauled a lot of people to the park there wouldn't be anything for them to do but sit in the grass and row in the lagoon. They would be disappointed snd would hurt us with criticism. All the park is good for now is for picnics and it can be used for that very satisfactorily on a small scale. Our line will commence operation next week. Assignments of motormen and conductors have been made to the new cars according to seniority."

Herodotus, the father of history, al though he was a very close observer and wrote of almost everything coming under his eyes, does not anywhere speak of borax or of what we know as such. Yet there is no doubt but that it was known and used in hi3 time and earlier. In the desert regions, consist ing of old lake beds in Thibet and Asia Minor, and from the volcanic regions of Tuscany, in Italy, the world's supply of borax waa obtained until about fifty years ago, fwfien North and South America began to present fields nearer home. The favorable regions for its existence, in paying quantities, occur most generally where old, dry lakes are found, situated in volcanic regions. Italy is an exception to this; and, al though verdure is abundant at Castle nuevo and elsewhere nearby where boraeic acid is produced, yet the region is volcanic, and gases are constantly emanating from the numerous orifices that abound over a large tract of coun try. In Italy borax, in eolution, is pro duced from the waters of many springs; in Asia Minor and Thibet it is obtained as a white powder and in a crystallized form from the old, dry lake beds. On the Sea of Marmora there are large deposits of borate of lime, in which th;re exists a large percentage of boraeic acid. Of late years an Eng lish company has secured these deposits and for some years has been profitably producing borax from them. As might be expected in such a country, borax was discovered in many places in the high, dry desert plateaus of South America as early as 1825. About 1835 deposits were discovered at Ascotan, in Bolivia, and about the same time borax discoveries were made in Peru and Chile, where, by crude methods, crys tallized borax was made in limited quantities; the quantity of borax then used in the world, compared with what is vsed now, was small, but the prices realized w-re high, being in most coun tries from 50 cents to $1 per pound. A strange feature about borax is that regions producing it have in no case as yet been exhausted, the mineral in the old lak" regions continuing to send up bor.ix from below as an alkiloid, ard whore worked this year it may be work ed again the year following. Especially if there be any precipitation of snow or rain at anv time of the year, the wa ters will penetrate the soil and produce chemical action that brings the borax, in either a powdered or crysta'lized "fate, to the surface. Mines and Min ing. By Kail to Athens. Athens, the only capital in Europe which cannot be reached by the main trunk lines is separatsd by several nun-, dred miles from the European main railway svstem, of which Brindisi, Sa lonica anil Constantinople may be re garded as the three southern termini. There is now projected a line from thens to Salonica. which will put the Greek metropolis in direct connection with the whole continent. It is to have the standard continental gauge of four feet eight inches, and when it is com pleted it will be possible to :nn through carriages from Calais to Athens. The Greek capital will then be within three days of London. At present the quick est route between, the ttwi cities, by way of Brindisi and Patras. occupies five days, and involves a sea voy-ge. almost as long as that between Brindisi and Egvot.

NOT YETRXED. Natural Gas Franchise Still in Air. Wajs and Means Committee of Council Discusses It. QUESTION OF DEPOSIT. Mayor Bergunrithal Sajs He Fears a CJraft. People May Get Fifty Cent Gas Sometime. Although the ways and means com mittee of the city council is disposed to be friendly to the proposition ad vanced by S. B. Rohrer and N. B. Burdge to bring to Topeka a company which will build a pipe line through which 50 cent gas will be furnishtd, it appears probable that before the fran chise is granted there will be some sort of a hitch about the requirement, which the city wants to make, that the new company put up a cash bonus of good faith. One side or the other will have to back down from a position it has already as sumed upon this proposition. The ways and means committee of the council talked the franchise ordinance over with N. B. Burdge, its promoter, at a meeting Wednesday night. It developed that the councilmen were anxious to encourage the construction of a pipe line from the gas belt to Topeka. It would be a dtsirable way out of the present gas rate difficulty. Mr. Burdge had signified his willing ness that the ordinance require new mains to be laid in alleys, but inter posed an objection to being restricted to that because a consolidation might be effected whereby the new company could secure the gas mains of the pres ent company. As the new scheme has taken no tangible form yet the Excel sior people are not worrying over their new competitor tor business. No nego tiations have been opened between the two interests. Mr. burdge said this morning: "We do not propose to put up a cash bonus to insure the commencement of work within a given length of time or to insure its completion. We can not toll what difficulties we may encounter which will prevent the completion of our project. We can not afford to have S2,- 000 tied up in that way when we need it ourselves. We have formulated our plan for organization. Three other Topeka men besides Mr. Rohrer and myself ar interested, two Kansas City men, three Illinois men and two from New Yoik are ready to invest money in it. There will be no hitch in proceedings wh'n we get the charter. It will take a long time to build the proposed line. It is our plan to invest $200,000 cash in it, and issue bonds to the amount of $500,000. We expect to capitalize at $1,000,000." Three members of the council, Messrs. Wolf. Weber and Blossom, and Mayor Bergundthal and City Attorney Spencar today expressed themselves in favor of exacting a guarantee deposit in money from'the gas line people before franchise was given. Mayor Bergundthal said: "If this is a bona' fide proposition and Mr. Burdge and Mr. Rohrer intend to j carry it through 1 do not believe they ought to hesitate about giving the city this assurance of their good faith. I do not think the council is justified! in vot ing away this franchise on the basis Mr. Burdge has proposed. If the construc tion of such a pipe line is practicable some other company will want to do it j before long. There will not be room for two companies here. The company holding th2 first franchise can use it simply for the purpose of holding up the second company. In giving away this franchise we want some assurance that the city is going to get something back for it. We want some evidence that this company is not going to use the franchise for a 'graft' or to hold up someone else for money. I have been told that a separate company of men were projecting a similar line to Topeka from the gas belt. So far as I know both Mr. Burdge and Mr. Rohrer are sincere in their intentions and promises but the city can not afford to make its business arrangements upon such a supposition." City Attorney Spencer, who will re vamp the draft of the ordinance sub mitted by Mr. Burdge. said in regard to the bond feature of franchise grants: "I have been quoted as saying that I did not believe that the section of a franchise ordinance requiring a guar antee for the completion of work within a certain time could be enforced in the case of an attempt to collect on a for feited bond. In my opinion what the city should do. if it wants a guarantee at all. would be to require the new comp.any to place in the treasury a cash deposit. It's nnrdly likely that the company would ever be successful in recovering moey so placed even if it made the attemnt. It isn't so much the question of the legality as the practica bility of it. "Of course it's none of my business whpt the council decides to do nbnot this. ?nd 1 don't know what they will do. My per sonal opinion is that the promoters of this gas lne ought to be required to make such a cash denosit. That's how I feel about it The ordinance is likely to be talked over freelv before it is regularly presented to the council. It is not impossible that Mr. Burdge p.av be able to persuade the c!tv officials i-rto his way of looking at the proposition as a very friendly feeling ex ists between the two si!es. Mivor K"r gundtbal is inclined to the opinion that the natural cos can be furnished at a lower "rice tben 50 cents per 1.000 cubic fert When the people of Topeka are com pelled to pav $1.50 for gas there ought not to be much haggling anont allowing a company to supply the people for 50 cents. DEATH OF M. L. DI XCAN. Passing of a fiespectad Pioneer at Blue Rapids. Blue Rapids, Kan., July 2. M. I. Duncan died at Blue Rr-Mds after a protracted illness of a complication of diseases. Marquis de Lafayette Duncan was born in Chattanooga, Tenr... January 2S, 1S30, but spent his boyhood in Alabama. In 1850 he moved to St. Joseph.

He spent the long, lonely months of 1S54-5 with the Incians, occasionally assisted in his work by David and Frank Linn. Frank Linn is still living in Marysvil.e, the sole survivor of the little band of our earliest pioneer settlers.

He follow ed this business which had a peculiar fascination to him until failing eye sight compelled him to give it up. He then established a trading post at Marysville, Kan., w hich had become the center of quite a little settlement. About this time the sheriff was killed by some horse thieves and Mr. Duncan was ap pointed to fill the vacancy, thus be coming the second sheriff of Marshall county. In 1S58 he went to the infant city of the plains, Denver, and opened up a general commission business, buying and selling cattle, supplies, etc. In 1861 he again returned to Marysville and engaged in the cattle business with Tohn Lockwood, and conducted a large rancn later known as the Duncan farm. June, 1868, he married Mrs. Sarah A. Millar, who with their two children, Mrs. Ch is. Adams of Kirksville, Mo., and John H. Duncan of Blue Rapids, survives him. Mr. Duncan served two terms as county commissioner from 1872 to '78, refusing a reelection. In 1896 he purchased the controlling interest in the Blue Rapids flour mill and conducted it under the firm name of M. L. Duncan Co., con tinuing in this business until the mill was destroyed by fire in 1899. He has not engaged in active business since. He was again elected county commissioner for this district in 1S98 and reelected in 1801, resigning the chairmanship of the board last April on account of failing health, but kept in constant communi cation with the board. In 1890 Mr. Dun can was elected mayor of Blue Rapids and served one term with complete sat isfaction to our citizens, declining a re nomination in '91. Mr. Duncan had been frequently elected to serve in the city council and has been a member of the school board. Mr. Duncan was a man of strict integrity, of strong con victions but withal of a gentle and ai fectionate disposition, noted for hosni tality, geniality and optomism. The county officials and friends of all classes testified to their respect and love by at tending his funeral and by sending bfautiful flowers. The city and county have lost an up right citizen and a good man. CHILDREN" OF THE STAGE. Henry Irving Says They Are Happy and Healthy and Morally Safe. Sir Henry Irving has given utterance to rome sensible and pertinent opinions concerning the employment of children on the stage. In 1894 the British parlia ment passed a law, similar to the one in foice in this country, making the em ploying of childi en on the stage de pendent on the obtaining of a license, granted by the courts on receiving suffi cient proof that the child is in good health. The law has proven satisfactory to all concerned, but recently some eager reformer introduced a bill in the house of commons forbidding the em ploying of children "in any occupation between the hours of 9 o'clock in the evening and 6 o'clock in the morning." The theatrical managers of London, see !t'g the passage of such a bill meant the t-mishment of all children from the t tagr, appealed to the standing commit tee on trade, to whom the bill was re ferred, and ssked that amendments be mrde so that the provisions of the ex isting act might be retained. The com mittee rejected this appeal and report ed the bill favorably to the house of commons, where it will be discussed and put to vote. The theater managers of London held a meeting on May 15 at Drury Lane theater to protest against the passage ot the new UilL Sir Henry Irving pre for Friday 59c Ladles Underwear Special, Lisle Thread Union Suits buttons up the front, tight knee, a regular 1.00 gar ment Friday special rn per suit 0 jC 25o Ten different styles Ladies Lace Lisle Vests, lace trimmed, our regular 35c garment.

Russell said it was monstrous that children of seven and eight yeHrs should appear on the stage for the amusement of the public. What is really monstrous is that a root ed hostility to the theater and a gross ignorance of theatrical conditions should be permitted to distort the judgment of a parliamentary committee. We, who are familiar with those conditions, know that a theater bears no manner o: re semblance to a factory. Child life in a theater is not child labor. In a theater children are not sweated; they are pet ted. Life for them is both an education and a recreation. To Mr. Russell it is a shocking thing for a child of seven to be a faiiy in Shakespeare; but the child of seven would not exchange the dream of Joy for all the gloomy pleasures that ap peal to Mr. Russell. "Moreover.to many a child, that fairy land is th beginning of a professional career. I need not give to you the names of all the great artists who have been born on the stage, cradled on the stage, who shocked the T. W. Russells of an earlier day by presenting to a delighted public the spectacle of irre sponsible childhood tripping gayly on the boards. Ask Marie Wilton, Madge Robertson, and Ellen Terry whether thev had a terrible time during their infant apprenticeship--whether they yearned for a Perseus like Mr. Broad hurst to save these little Andromedas from a dragon of a stage manager! "These great artists will tell you that they trace back to their earliest years the impressions which have been most, valuable to their artistic development. Not that this alone would be a suf ficient argument for the employment or children in theaters If that employment interfered in any degree with the r general education, if it stunted their physical growth, if it cast the gioon of uncongenial and unhealthy toil upon their young souls. "But everybody who has any knowl edge of the theater, and whose mind i free from cant and intolerance, Jtnows that the employment of children pro duces none of these dire results. The bill before parliament ignores the real issue; it proceeds upon the assumption that a child of seven or eight suffers positive harm from work in a theater, whereas any experience shows the re verse to be the truth. And if, for the sake of a cast-iron uniformity, this ab surd interdict is put upon such employ ment, a large number of poor little cl'.Sren will be cut on from the chief joy of their lives banished from their fairyland to the street, and many m humble home will be impoverished by the loss of the salaries so cheerfully, so beneficially earned by the t?me.l bread winners. Against such blunder ing legislation we enter an emphatic protest. It will do no manner of gooa to the children; it cannot give them any opportunities they do not already pos.. sess. So far from securing to them a measure of comfort and happiness It will destroy both, and instead of pro tecting their tender age against hard ships it will deprive many of them of the or.ry friends they have in the world. To such children the theater is truly a home, a school, and a benevolent instl. tution all in one, and the measure which deprives it of that character wilt certainly be the most egregious and callous piece of folly that ever called itself an act of parliament."

SIMPLE HABITS Benjamin Franklin, who is famed for his discovery that lightning is elec tricity, and who introduced the Ameri can colonial postal system, and who furthermore, as will be remembered, served America at the court of France as minister plenipotentiary, was one of the leaders of early modern times ir the study of nature and nature's laws, and not the least in domestic science. His first maxim was: "Eat not to dull ness; drink not to elevation." Even in his vouth his mind was filled with schemes for self -regulation and guid ance. and he set before him the task of acquiring the habitude of certain cardinal virtues based upon simple liv ing and habits of thought. His con stant effort was to better the condition of mankind, and his methods were in. tensely practical. Since the early times, simplicity of preaching, teaching and eating has been the great factor in the world's advance ment. The great mass of mankind do not understand, nor care for, abstruse reasonins. The record of the life of Abraham Lincoln is traced back to that time when he was seen sitting on a rail fence in one of America's small western viU lages, with a law book In one hand and with a piece of maize bread in the other. Abraham Lincoln was a man of rimple habits, and his greatness was to nd small extent dependent upon that early simplicity and goodness which gave strength to conscience, mind and bor!--. Frederick the Great fostered above all agriculture and the cultivation of fruits and vegetables. His endeavor to benefit his people was based upon the natural laws pertaining to their health and sim ple happiness. He recognized the fact, ever since clear to the minds of the leaders of the Germans, that the body is the basis, and must be simple and completely nourished in order to per fect the soldier, statesman or the peas ant. t Bismarck's great work had for its basis the recognition of the simple laws of nature. He followed them, and, as a result, there came about a new man hood and a new womanhood, first in Prussia, and later in the empire. Bis marck's natural and acquired astute ness taught him. as a similar percep tion and reasoning had taught Fred erick the Great, that political economy, rural economy and domestic economy are, as sciences, closely interlinked and interdependent in their relations to the state. While In FranCe-as United States min ister Thomas JefTerson wrote respecting the education of a daughter who was with him in Paris: "Of domestic econ omy she can learn nothing here, yet she must learn It somewhere, as It is of moie solid value than anything else." To his friend Peter Carr he said: "A strong body makes a strong mind." Jefferson practiced his preaching by subsisting mainly upon simple natural foods, and he labored sealously all through his busy life for the upbuilding of an American system of education which should teach men how to live In accordance with the laws of nature. He died at the age of 84, and he had not lost a tooth,' nor was one of them de fective. It will be recollected that the laws of Moses are replete with instructions re garding diet, as well as in fasting and religious duties. It is due to these laws that the health of the Jews when In reasonable conditions is so universally superior to that of the average of other peoples. London Catering World. i

TOPEKA .STATE JOUENAI TIIUItSDAY EVENING, JXTLT 2, 1003. f 1 v 4 I) A NOISYHJURTII. Business In Fireworks Is Larger Than Ever. Flood Disaster Didn't Dampen Ardor of Enthusiasts. THINGS ARE QUIET SOW Police Hare Squelched the Pre-- mature Celebration. Street Car Bombs Are the Lat est Noise Producers. Although the manifestations of the approach of July Fourth In Topeka ap pear subdued this year, the men who Bell fireworks say that business is as good or better than ever and that any nuppoPition to the contrary is mistaken. Hecause the police are holding the pre mature celebration of Independence day down to a minimum some of the people have contracted a notion that this year's celebration would be a fizzle. The re porter who investigated the matter en tertained this opinion. "No," paid T. J. Coughlin who, as wholesaler and retailer handles a big per cent of the fireworks Topeka will shoot off this year, "business is very good. I have already sold $1,800 worth. I am Inclined to think that more stuff Is being sold here this year than ever. Probably the south side is profiting from the- carnage to the business of North Topeka stores by the flood. The North side merchants are, perhaps, holding down their stocks on this ac count. The danger of fire over there may have something to do with that but on this side sales have been brisk and of considerable amounts. There will be a lot of stands opened In the next two days and from then on until Saturday right business will be as lively as ever. There are not many novelties this year and people will have to rely upon the Old standby for their noise." Mr. Coughlin'a statement was sup ported by several stand keepers and confectioners who carry fireworks as a side line in season. Although the Fourth is approaching quietly it will probably bo no less vociferous than or dinarily when it does arrive. The small Inhabitants of boyville are secretly plot ting the wicked things they will do to the peace of the community and are practicing behind the barn and In va cant let s with the fireworks they have been able to purchase or appropriate nhead of time. Probably if the small boys around town could be Interviewed they could throw a far clearer light upon the Fourth of July celebration question. One stand keeper, who has laid In a good sizfd stock, stated yesterday that his business so far had been equal to that of any year in his previous exper ience with Fourth of July supplies. He eaid: "It's too early yet for the stands to begin their trade. People are keeping their stocks indoors yet because they wouldn't sell any more If they had them not In front. The heavy business will -not commence until after Friday noon J and from then on it will rush all Friday right and f-'aturday. T don't think the flood has made any difference in the sit uation. Kv?rybody will celebrate a lit tle and some will spend more money than usual so that I have no fears about my trade. The stocks are fresh and new and will go fast when the time comes." Although novelties are few there Is one which, in particular, will call atten tion to itself when It gets into the hands of the Fourth of July celebrant. It Is an explosive cap. of the same substince as that used In the "canes" which ap peared on the market last year and have reappeared this time in augmented numbers. The new one, however, is in tended for use on street car tracks. As yet the storekeepers are keeping them out of sight for fear of protest from the city authorities if their acquaintance should be made prematurely. In ap pearance the caps look like a section sliced from a small ball. It may be nothing less tl.an dynamite, which It resembles, but the storekeepers haven't said. 'When one of these things is ex ploded benpath a car whfH it is calcu lated to j.ar all the windows In the block. With the assistance of this new engine of demoralization the Impend ing Fourth of July is likely to rupture all the nerves thit the quiet, elderly people have left from the last time.

The mys tery which surrounds the murder of John Newberry, of West Plains, Mo., who was killed at Sherman, near her, about ten days ago, was added to last evening when Robert Grose, his com panion, who was wounded at the same; time, was taken into custody by- the sheriff. It is a case of accuser being accused. Grose's story of the murder is that he and Newberry were shot by two negroes, and this is the theory upon which the officers have beer working until recently. The story told by Grose at the time of the shooting differs materially from those told by him later. At first he claimed to have lost $100 and a watch, but later said he had but $12 and no watch. His story to the coroner's jury and to the officers hav been different First the robbery started on top of t car, and later he said it was in the car. First they were shot standing ana the next time he and Newberry were sitting. A gold watch carried by New berry is missing, and the gun with which Newberry was killed and Grose wounded cannot be found. Diligent search has failed to locate these things and their absence is a circumstance in Grose's favor. Money was found on him, and he claims that it is his own. Sheriff Kimberly, of West Plains. Mo., came here for the body of New berry and had a warrant for Grose on a charge of stealing a cow at West Plains two weeks ago. Kimberly 3ays Grose had a bad reputation there. No one excepting Grose saw negroes on the train, and the trainmen had not seen Grose or Newberry. Grose was shot through the mouth, and the officers have the theory that he did it acci dentally as he attempted to board th movine train. The wound is still giv ing trouble, and Grose remains in the Welsh hospital, where he is guarded by officers to prevent an escape like that made at Wichita, when Murderer Dunn left his sick bed and fooled the officers. He will be taken to jail the latter part of the week. EMPOBIA CHALTAtQUA. Sr. Ounaanlus Disagrees With State ments of Debs. Emporia, Kas., July 2. Wednesday was one of the most pleasant as well as the most profitable days so far had at the Chautauqua. The musical fea tures daily improve with association and practice. "The Original Quaker Quartette" made its appearance in the forenoon and was immediately taken into favor. In the afternoon the Rev. Father Francis Clement Kelley delivered his lecture on "The Yankee Volunteer," and had one of the most attentive of audiences. Father Kelley was chap lain of a Michigan regiment in the war with Spain, and his lecture pleased both old and young veterans. Last evening Laurente, the magician, was the attraction. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus sprung a sur prise on his audience in his lecture on Savonarola, at the Chautauqua, when towards the end he scored Eugene V. Debs for several statements made irt his afternoon lecture on socialism, un der the title of "Modern Problems." One of the statements made by Debs was that the United States supreme court was made up of corporation at torneys, the creatures of the corpora tions, from whom the workingmai. could hardly esyect fair play or jus tice. This statement Dr. Gunsaulus vehemently asserted was untrue, anl referred to the various judges by nam.?, giving their legal history. Among thj names mentioned were those of Judge Brewer and Judge Harlan, both of whom were promoted from the supreme bench of their respective states. An other assertion was made by Debs to the effect that the clergy were also creatures of corporations and not friends of the laborers. This Dr. Gun saulus also asserted was untrue, claim ing that the clergymen of America, as a general thing, were socialists, but Christian socialists, who believed that until capital and labor should both get down on their knees at the altar of God and recognized him as "our" God, and not each, if they thought of him at all, only thinking of and beseeching him as an individual God, who looked only on their side of the question, and whom they always addressed as "my" God. He also severely denounced what he termed the "Godless socialism" of. an archy and atheism, asserting at the same time that he himself was a so cialist, but a Christian socialist. MBS. CI1AS. A.

They swept into the stand from the north end like a pall of smoke, Frank Grimes was one of the first to recognize the in dustrious little insects for he cherishes painful recollections of several encount ers with their kind when he was a small barefooted urchin, in which he caioe off with honors all on one side. He is therefore to be pardoned if he did clear three seats and land on the ground im mediately after he sounded the warning. He was closely followed by Clyde Al phin, erstwhile heavyweight pitcher for the K. U. baseball team. Mr. Alphin looks like Governor Bailey and he is usually very dignified but he must have thought he was due to make a circuit of the bases for he was at second be fore he could be stopped in his mad ca reer. Mr. Alphin was simply a specta tor and he may have regarded the bees in the light of a punishment because he had said some rather cutting things about some of the players during the progress of the game. Deacon House drew his mantle firmly over his gorgeous waistcoat and sailed after Mr. Grimes. He is a good sprinter when he gets started and there was not a bee in the swarm that could keep up to him. James E. Larimer started to leave his seat in the stand but finally crouched down behind a corpulent friend who was no doubt just as badly scared as the rest but was too indolent to move. There were a dozen young women from the attendants force at the asylum who were deserted by their escorts, but they proved themselves very active and escaped unharmed. Even the ball players joined in the panic and Page, McCampbell and the rest had business in the direction of the south field fence. President Strickler had about concluded that he would have to hunt another ball team when the bees passed out of range and the players and spectators returned. In two minutes it was all over and not a man, woman or child was any the worse for the experience. The bees did not stop to leave any tokens in the form of swollen faces. The ball game was merely Incidental. It was between the Topeka Business col lege and the Asylum team and the best that can be said for it is that it was in teresting. McCampbell for T. B. C. pitched an excellent game that should have been a shut out. As it was the score was 8 to 2 in favor of T. B. C. Several of the Asylum players are ex cellent talkers. POISON SUSPECTED.

Senator Alcer, In this city, in a semi-conscious condi tion and physicians are unable to de termine whether he is suffering from the effects of excessive heat or from a drug administered by revengeful ene mies. It is said that Mr. Alger has been instrumental in suppressing the work of so-called green goods men who have operated in Missouri of late and it is feared his condition is the result of drugs they may have secretly ad ministered to him. It is believed Mr. Alger came in contact with a represen tative of green goods men in Cleveland. At a hotel in that city it is said he was robbed of his pocketbook and a considerable sum of money. Later while paying his bill at the cashier's desk he was taken ill and when he reached De troit was partially unconscious. NO MOKE P. 0. DOCTORS. Postmaster General Issues Order Abolishing Places.

Dickinson County Farmers Hire Men fiom the Section. AT ABILENE. Dickinson county's big wheat harvest is on and men are at a premium. Far mers resort to most any means to se cure help. One farmer went to a Union Pacific crew and said while he did not want to make trouble or steal the com pany's men, he must have help. He offered $2.50 per day and board for ,the next twenty days. He secured two of the men. Nearly every wheat grower is sur prised at this year's yield, for the crop is 30 per cent better than it was ex pected to be up to two weeks ago. AT STAFFORD. This section of country is in need of more men to work in the harvest fields. At least one-third of the farmers could use from one to three more men than they have been able to procure.

General Bell has been under orders for a year to come to Fort Leaven worth to take command of the post and the general service and staff college, but was detained by active campaign work in the Philippines. The headquar ters for General Bell will be in Sher man hall, where the staff college is, in stead of in the regimental post head quarters building. The rooms formerly occupied by Generals Sheridan, Pope, Augur, Merritt and other commanders of the department of the Missouri, have been refitted for him. MARSHALL'S C0JJCERT. It Was Held Last N ight and Was a Decided Success. Marshall's band in a vacant lot on a street corner is just as good as Mar shall's band in a band stand in Gar field nark and is equally appreciated. The first of the open air free concerts, given at Eighth and Harrison streets last night was attended by a crowd that overflowed into the streets on either side. The strains of "Hearts and Flowers" floated out over the streets and homes of that quiet residence district with an altogether pleasing effect. The band has unquestionably advanced in the esteem of the people of Topeka by its plucky determination not to be put out of busi ness by its losses in the ifood. The sug gestion has been made that the band give a few concerts in the Washburn college campus during the summer. The college car line is a good deal used in summer evenings by fresh air seekers from town and the attraction of a band at the other end would doubtless make it more popular. OFFICES CONSOLIDATED. J.

WILSON CASE NEAR END Famous Cattle Tangle Will Go to Jury Today. The evidence in the trial of George Wilson, charged with' obtaining- money under false pretenses, will be all sub mitted today and the arguments will begin. The trial has occupied the attention of the court during the entire week. The work of securing a Jury was begun Monday but the lawyers did not get Into the trial of the case until "Wednes day when the jury was secured after two extra special venires had been drawn. The trial is the result of a deal in cattle between James "VanOrsdale and Wilson and Marias, In 1898. Since then rases to settle the title to the cattle have 'been fought through the United States district courts and through the United States court of appeals. In ad dition this is the third trial of a crim inal nature. GEO. WILSON, THE DEFENDANT. In 1898 Wilson and Marias sold a herd of 397 head of beef cattle to Van Orsdale. That was the year when the Grant Gillette crash came and the cat tle markets vere badly shaken. In ad dition feed was scarce and for that rea son Marias and Wilson seemed to be willing to dispose of their cattle at a sacrifice. VanOrsdale thought he saw a. chance to make money on the deal and bought the cattle, paying about $12,000 for the herd, which was many thousand dollars less than they would be worth in the market at usual times. After the sale was made a mortgage against the cattle turned up and Van Orsdale found the herd encumbered. The first case in court was to settle the title to the cattle. After it had been carried -through the United States courts VanOrsdale lost and was forced to pay the mortgage. The cattle were sold at a good advance and VanOrsdale retrieved some of his loss. Then th criminal charge of obtaining money under false pretenses was broujht against Wilson and Marias. A new trial was granted. Krror had been made by the court in ruling that only six challenges should be allowed. The defense claimed that with two defendants that 12 challenges of Jury men ehould be allowed. At the second trial the jury disagreed. This is the third trial and the two defend er ts are being tried separately. The trial under way is that of George Wilson. It is not likely that even in the event of a conviction that Marias will be tried, as there Is not supposed to be a very strong case against him. Wilson engineered the deal to sell the cattle. Judge Haien s h!rlng the Cise for the third time. The defense made by Wilson is that he noid the cattle at a icreat sacrifice to Van Orsdale and that when he bcught them VanOredale made the purchase subject to Vne mortgage. Several witnesses were in troduced this morning who testified that they believed thev had heard VanOrsdale Bay something about a. mortgage on the cattle before he bought them. One defense which the attorneys for W!l pon attempted to make was that the mort gage on the cattle was to cover nnts given the Oillispe Cattle company of Kan sas Cltv and that the notes were given to cover the 60 cents per head stooK yard rale. The claim was made that the Oillispe linn was In the cattle trust and forced Wil son and Marias to iwv the trust prices. Judge Hnren did not allow the point to be established. Safeguard ths Children.

A deputy sheriff could have found em ployment at the Washburn baseball grounds yesterday. A bad negro named Gentry, who has frequently been under the thumb of the authorities, took ad vantage of the officer-less condition of the place and started a rough house. He had his pocket knife carefully sharpen ed for the occasion, and used it for a key to the park. The gatekeeper promptly backed up and let him in. Taking a seat in the grand stand the bad man began breaking a stick over the back of a bench, and with malice aforethought struck Mr. R. G. Crall, of the pension office, on the head. He was requested to desist, and came back at Mr. Crall with a volley of "cuss words" and the stick. Crall got a" club also, and went after the Ethion, who caught the stick and carved the white man in two or three places, removing some cuticle and much clothing. Then Gentry walk ed away unmolested. Mr. Crall was not seriously hurt. His only wound is a small knife wound in the side. CONSUMPTION IS IIEAVF. Outlook in Iron Trade Was Hardly Ever Brighter. Cleveland, O., July 2. The Iron Trade Review, discussing market conditions in its current issue, says: There is a better feeling in the iron trade, though without any change in the week In the volume of business placed. The large rail contracts of last week and the pending inquiries for raiis amount to about 250.000 tons of stan dard rails, standard sections having in spired confidence in the continuance of demand from that source on a liberal scale for another year. Some improve ment in the prospect for crops, as con tained in reports from along important granger roids, has also helped to make sentiment in the iron trade. Consumption continues very heavy; the particular charge that has come over the trade is that buyers are reliev ed of the necessity of looking so far ahead in arranging for their supplies. So far as foundry pig iron is concerned, the situation is not changed except for some further settling in price. Buyers and sellers alike are hunting for the level on which business can be done freely, but have not found it, and may not for some weeks. LOWE CASE JURY. Thirty Names Drawn Out of the Box Today.

It is intended to have j a greet celebration in the old wigwam on Saturday morning. Delegations i from the different Tammany clubs will make up a large and appreciative audi ence. United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas will occupy the pla;e of honor upon the programme and make the principal long talk. Former United States Senator Charles A Towne will also be a talker. State Senator Thomas F. Grady and others will make short talks. Among the letters of congratulation which will be read at the celebration will be one written by former President Cleveland, Judge Alton B. Parker, Wm. J. Bryan, former Senator David B. Hill and nearly all of the Democratic for mer governors of New Vork state. Judge James A. O'Gorman will pre side at the meeting and make the ooen- ing address. At intervals between th speeches music will be furnished by the Tammany glee club and by Bayne's Sixty-ninth regiment band. The selection of Mr. Towne as one o! the principal orators caused some sur prise. He made his reputation as a Populist, and was the Populist candi date for vice president in 1900, but withdrew from the race in the interest of the regular Bryan ticket. At that time he was an ardent free silver man and a believer in the doctrines of Rrranism. Later, it appears, he changed his views on silver,. Then he came to Neiv Yoik, started to practice law, and '.n new said to be int-rested in Wall street affairs. This evolution bears a strong resemblance to that of ex-Governor Hogg of Texas, who used to be a ram pant enemy of corporations, but who some time ago went to England to sell stock in various corporations. Anyhow, j Mr. Towne is now satisfactory to Tarn I many, which is, for campaign pur- poses, against Bryanism and all that I term stands for. Sold for $6,000,000. San Frincisco, Cal., July 2.

New York, July 2. Papers have been served in seven cases for the recovery of money aggregating $46,539 from the banking and brokerage firm of Zimmer man Forshay of this city. The cases grew out of the sale of bonds of the United Railways company of San Fran cisco. The plaintiffs, who also are brok ers, assert that during April, May and June, 1902, the defendants contracted for the purchase of bonds of the com pany, which were not to go on the mar ket or be delivered to the defendants until February, 1903. During the sum mer some of the bonds were sold in San Francisco, with the understanding they were to remain there, but in some way some of them turned up in the east. When delivery was made to Zim merman Forshay in February last, they refused to accept the bonds. When the agreements about the purchase were made, the bonds were selling around 90. In February last they were selling around SO. and it is for the shrinkage in value that the plaintiffs are suing since they were forced to sell the bonds at the reduced rate. EYER1 MAN MUST SIGN.

The Sixteenth United States siege bat tery, in command of Capt. Van Deusen, arrived in Topeka at noon today to stop temporarily on the return march from Ft. Riley to Ft. Leavenworth. The battery left Ft. Leavenworth in May for Ft. Riley to engage in the annual tar get practice. The heavy rains made the march a heavy one and finally the floods caught the battery near St. Marys. The battery was safe on a hill, but for a week was shut off from the surrounding coun try. The supply of provisions was exhaust ed. It was like real "fighting days." The mud bespattered artillerymen and the weary horses and muddy field pieces give evidence of some rough times. Beturned to Scene of Crime. Peoria, 111., July 2.

Every traveler who goes to the Grand Canyon of Arizona, hears of Capt. John Hance, the famous old pioneer and yarn-spinner; and those who are fortu nate meet him and hear some of his yarns. The "Captain" has a genius for the making and telling of tales as tall as the canyon tales which are frank and glorius lies, like most of the world's treasures of romance, and which Arizona will cherish, perhaps, just as Greece cherished the grand iloquent legends of the Trojan war. But now and then the captain has a serious mood, and indulges in it by tell ing a true story more interesting than his lies. One of these moods took pos session of him as we sat on the edge of a cliff and looked down Into the pur ple mazes of that untenanted City Won derful, through whose silent depths the J hidden Colorado flows, t V "Last winter," said the captain, in VVj's inimitable quiet drawl, "me and my y V'rdner started down into the canyon j" V do some prospctin'. We separated, ajimps, agreein' to meet three weeks jfrom that day at the top an" go to Flag staff together on business. Well, I tooic a look at my asbestos mine an' a few other holes in the rocks, an' pounded away at new places without findiri' much, an' finally crawled up on the twenty-first day to meet Jake. Well, he didn't come. Fur six days I knocked aroun' my old camp there an' still he didn't come. By that time I knew there was trouble, fur Jake was the exactest man that ever dumb these rocks. Slid. I didn't want to think he was dead, so I went into Flagstaff an' asked whether he'd been seen there, or at Williams', or the lirlKht Angel, or Bass', or anywhere along the road. Not a word of him could I hear, so I came back to this here big ole ditch to find him." I smiled at Capt. John's irreverent title for the great canyon which he had loved as his home for thirty years. "You came alone?" I asked. "Course," he answered; "who cxiuld help me? I knew just about where be'd be. I made a bee line fur the piece o" country where he started to look fur mineral, and in less 'n thn e days I found his camp. There it all was his pot o' beans sll dried up on the ashes of his fire where he'd lett 'em to cook, his pile o' canned things an' dried up biscuits, an' flour, an' bacon, his blan ket rolled up fur the day everythin' fixed up jus' as he'd left 'em in the mornin'. "Well. I searched through everythin' an finely found his diary we alius keep a diary, you know, when we go off prospeetin', so's not to lose count o' the days. The last entry was Jan. lt. ten days after we parted. 'Digcrins three miles below here,' it said, just above the granite no finds yet." "So I knew I would find him down the river about three miles an' twelve hundred feet or so up from it. An' o' -ourse I knew the kind o' country where he'd be likely to look fur min I ral. Sure enough, the nex' day I came y-'crost him, lyn' cluttered up with a o loose rock. There he lay with (jri'ken hip, his face up an' his dead eves glarin' at the sky. An' there he had died alone, after sufferin' an' etarvin'. probably, fur days an' nights. 'It was plain as day hew it all happen ed.

When old Jake Harper left Missouri by the Overland Trail to make a home on the Kansas frontier, taking along his wife and two children, he knew the risks he ran. He was known as a de termined, obstinate man, and one with out fear. Perhaps if he had never been drawn into argument over the matter he would not have made a move, but when his neighbors heard that he wai thinking of a change, and one after an other sought to dissuade him, he sold his farm in Missouri and joined an emisri nt train. It was a 'clear, case of pig-headed-ness, his going at all, and his taking up a claim right in the midst of the Indian country was nothing short of criminal recklessness. The frontier was dangerous enough, but he was miles beyond it. It wasn't a fortnight before a war party of Indians appeared and at tacked. It is a matter of record that the old mnn and his wife killed six warriors. The children had been killed at the first fire. V hen the wife re ceived a bullet the husband managed to break through the lines and mount a horse and escape, though he was twice' wounded. THK HUSBAND MANAGED TO MOUNT A HOUSE AND ESCAPE. From that day on Harper lived only to be revenged, and in course of a year the Indians came to fear him and THE ONLY WAY "Talk about yer wonderful divin' udder day." a y.l:' 44 r t, dm Huh! D'ye t'ink I'm easy? Where did this happen?" "Right down yonder by de tracks. I fell asleep under dat water tank." STAFF. Snpalr of him In ii'hitnpra A a arLnn nn bis wonndB wei-e henioi ho .t r.i,t ic reap vengeance. He wandered over plain and prairie, he hid among the i hills, he paddled up and down the rivers. He moved mostly by night, and not a week went past that he did not tally at least one. He killed Wounded Bird, Little Buffalo and Red Sun three prominent chiefs. In one year he killed thirty-four Sioux warriors. Hs waylaid them by day and crept into their villages at night, and Grey Eagle offered twenty ponies for his capture, dead or alive. In a way he was a great protection to the frontier. If a raid was contemplated and it was discoverea that "The Shadow," as the red men called him, was aware of it, the affafr was abandoned at once. Cld Harper's deeds of boldness were counted by the score, but perhaps the bold est was entering a village on the Repub lican river one night during a thunder storm. He made use of a knife and tom ahawk alone, and killed five men and two squaws. When the alarm was finally given he hid behind trees and wigwams until he had shot down six more warriors, thus making his score thirteen. The fact that no Indian dog would bark at him and thus give an alarm whs greatly to his ad vantage. One night he got among a herd of pctnies-and cut the throats of forty eight of them. During the two years that he ran loose, as it were, he killed nearly one hundred Indians, set fire to and de stroyed four villages, and caused the death of about seventy ponies. This record would have satisfied the vengeance, of most Wen, but Harper felt that things were going too slow. He had also figured it out that he had little to live for, and he determined on a grand coup. He had trapped for furs while wreaking vengeance, and one day he apiieared at a frontier town with about $250 worth of choice skins. He also had a- pony loaded c".owr. with plunder taken from, -the In dians. All his goods were taken off for powder in kegs and a two horse outfit. There was over two hundred pounds of the powder. Before driving away Harper stat ed to a friend that he was going to kill a hundred Indians at once, but did not give particulars. He joined a body of emi grants and continued with them until well into trie Jneimn country and tnen cut loose. He left the nartv at nieht and drove oft at r?gnt angles to tne trail, ana no one but the Indians ever saw him again. A Sioux chief named White Bird was abroad with a' war party numbering two hundred bucks. They had heard of the entrant party and wire going to take the trail ahead of them when they came upon old Harper. His wagm eteod in a grove of cotton wciMls and his horses were graz ing He had eiug a ritie pit under the wa on, anil as soon as the Indians came with in range he' opened fire on them.

It was the heaviest biow ever suffered by the Sioux tribe, and it resulted in a treaty with them that was observed on their side for the next five yfnrs with the utmost fidelity. The body of the old mun disappeared in the explosion, and the In dians figured it out that his "medicine" had preserved him to take still further re verge. It was years before they would give up that he was dead.

Ex-Spotter Garrett, who drank much booze at the expense of the Hughes ad ministration and then eloped without giving testimony, was pulled in from the highway last night so full of his favorite beverage that he could not state definitely whether he was riding in the band wagon or among the "citi zens on foot."

It is awfully dull jetween insurrections. There has not oeon a disturbance of note for so long that moss is growing on the osage "orange bats carried by the force. It is a shame and disgrace, and if some wctive bad man doesn't start the wheels tiefore long this department will have Jo make an assignment. Berause there is no "man behind the gun" to keep them busy, the police try o work up a little enthusiasm in the thase of the festive boy behind the fire cracker, but make a dismal failure. .They frequently capture the shooter of fireworks after a long chase, grab him lirmly by the wing and say, "Look here, floggone you, if you do that any more i'll run you in." The youth will be so jfcadly scared that he will desist for nearly four minutes. A triangle of small boys were picked last eve, "just as the sun went down," Thy Grandpa Anderson.

The court saw fit to attach a fine of $5 to Mr. Garrett this morning. He admitted that he was guilty of being drunk, but 'not guilty of having five plunks on his person. One of the strangest persons in gentral appearance who has landed in Topeka since the Hood, arrived at the police sta tion yesterday.

The boys were rolling in the bosom of the turbid flood in City Park, and Anderson feared they would make the water mud ,iy. They were not looked up. because JLhe tender hearted Jailer would rather 4ake the chances of theirvoming back ,this afternoon. A tale bf woe longer than the tall of a kangaroo arrived at the polios station this morning and was referred lo prosecutor t'rmy. Mr. Dunn, an aged colored mail, Wits "done" out of his medicine.

This morning when Mr. Dunn wont 4to his trunk to take his medicine he found that both the lock and medicine had b?en removed therefrom and the guest had de parted. Mr. Dunn wants uis bonze, or whatever it was, and he nlso wants the crooked guest punished. Mr. Urmy told toe im m mm Was no match for the microbe. Giants he might slay but this microscopic or ganism defied him, and in many a cam paign more men were destroyed by camp diseases than by the enemy's sword. The one way to arm against micro bic disease is to keep the blood pure. Impure blood both breeds and feeds disease. The signs of im pure blood are easy lo read. Pimples, boils, and eruptions generally proclaim the blood to be ini pure. Scrofulous scores and swellings, salt-rheum, eczema, etc., are other signs of a corrupt condi tion of the blood. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery purifies the blood and cures dis eases caused by the blood's impurity. It cures scrofulous sores, boils, pimples, eczema and other defiling and disfigur ing diseases. "It gives me great pleasure to express my faith in the virtue of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery," writes Mr. lcekiel Floro. of Graytown, Ottawa Co., Ohio. I suffered every thing for two years with humor on ray face, which baffled the skill of some .of the most noted physicians. Was at once advised to goto the hospital was "doctored there for three months without success. Came home discour aged. Then began to doctor with a 'chemist-' He also failed to help me. Then I began r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, with no faith whatever in it. Did it only to please my wile but I am hn)py to tell you that after tak ing five bottles i am entirely cured." Free.

Mary Itosctat, Aged Six, Is Vic tim of Mysterious Fire. Mary Rosetat died last night at 8 o'clock as a result of being terribly burned Wednesday afternoon. Mary Rosetat was 6 years old. How the accident happened is not known. Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock the child's mother heard her scream and ran to where she was in the rear of the home in Oakland, and found her clothes in flames. In trying to save the child Mrs. Rosetat was seriously burn ed. A physician was called but the child was so severely burned that nothing could be done to save her. There was a smell of kerosene about the clothing of the child but it is not known how her clothing was set on fire. NO MOKE SOCIALISM. Political Doctrine Barred from Ruskin by Vrooman'B Ex-Wife. Chicago, July 2. There will be no more Socialistic propaganda at Ruskin university. The doctrines of "Walter Vrooman have been banished from the institution's curriculum. The board of directors yesterday adopted a resolution declaring the university "emphatically opposed to the progaganda of political socialism." One result of the decision will be the withdrawal from the univer sity of 100 men students, largely re cruited from Ruskin college, which was transported last April from Trenton, Mo., to Glen Bllyn. Dean George McA. Miller will find himself without pupils, for the principal building at Glen Ellyn will be the seat of a woman's college, of which Miss Ada C. Sweet will be the dean. Mrs. Walter Vrooman, who recently divorced her husband, is the patroness of I-tuskin university. She formerly had some sympathy with her husband's So cialistic views, but since the divorce her convictions have changed. Miss Ada Sweet would not consent -to act as dean unless she was assured full control of her own field. To satisfy her scruples the directors adopted the fol lowing resolution: "Resolved, that in view of the resolution of Miss Ada Sweet to act as dean of the Woman's School and College of Ruskin universi ty, we hereby order that the adminis tration building at Glen Ellyn be deJi cated to her work and that she hav the custody of said building and the exclu sive control of the moral and social con duct of tbje college." "It must not be supposed that there will no longer be any young men stu dents at the university," said Dr. To bias. "We will contiuue to teach them, but they will be transferred to other departments in the Chicago law school, the Steinmann college at Dixon, and ntha. offiliatnil a cciu. i a t inna UTn will 1 have men Rtndpnts in tht shons and other departments at Glen Ellyn, some distance south of the woman's college." Prolonged It Another Tear. Vienna, July 2. As the deputations have been unable to agree on the pro portions to be respectively contributed by Austria and Hungary towards their joint expenditure, Emperor Francis Joseph has prolonged the present ar rangement until June 30, 1904.
