Frey, for merly general manager of the Santa Fe railway, died here today after a Ions illness from kidney trouble, aged 55. llr.

J FREY, Who died today. souri Pacific. In 1S72 he was made trainmaster on the Missouri, Kansas Texas, and two years lafr became su perintendent of telegraph and then divi sion suierintendent of that road. In 1S93 he wa.s vice president and general manager of the Kast Line Red River railroad. In the same year he wak made general manager of the Santa Fe, which position he resigned in Novem btr, 1SU!. Mr. Frey's resignation as general manager of the Santa Fe was announc ed November 15, 1899, and took effect January 1, WOO. He then moved his family to Albuquerque on account of his wife's health and soon afterward pr 4; became president of the Denver Crip ple Creek railroad. He held this posi tion only a year when he began the pro motion of a railroad line through Alaska to the Behring Straits and he has con tinued to work on this project. Mr. Frey came to Toptka as general manager of the Santa Fe in April, 1S93. At the time of his appointment he was vice president and general manager of the Kast Line Red River road, a branch of the M., K. T., which is now known as the Sherman, Shreveport Southern, having retired as general superintendent of the M., K. T. but a short lime before. He succeeded Mr. A. A. Robinson, now president of the Mex ican Central road. There is an interesting story told in connection with Mr. Frey's appointment as general manager ot" the Santa Fe. It Is to the effect that his connection with the Santa Fe was due wholly to the well known loyalty of George R. Peck to his ft lends. As the story goes, Santa Fe affairs hail shaped themselves after the resig nation of Mr. Robinson so that the late K. H. Wade, then general manager of the Southern California line, was slate for the position of genera! manager of the Sar.iu P'e proper. At the same time, fiiends of Mr. Frey, who were in a position to know of Santa Fe moves, were working for his appoint ment as a successor of Mr. Wade in an ticipation of the latter's transfer to To- Some time previous to this event in Santa Fe circles, Mr. V. H. Rossington of this city and a Ktrty of friends went to California on a pleasure trip. The Topeka attorney carried with him a letter of Introduction to the general manager of tile Southern California road from Mr. Peck, containing the lequest that the bearer and party be shown every courtesy possible during their stay on the line of the California road. When the party reached the headquarters of the Southern California road Mr. Wade was absent, and the letter was prt seated to his chief clerk, with a request for certain transporta tion. The chief clerk did not feel at lihtrty to honor it, and Mr. Iossington Hi d friends were compelled to pay lor tne desired transportation. When the party returned Mr. Peck was told of the occurrence, and the general solicitor of the Santa Fe announced that he held Mr. Wade responsible for the fault of his chief cieik in snubbing his fri.-nslJ. Mr. Peck did not forget the matter, and it is privately stated that because of this indirect affront to Mr. Peck's friends Mr. Wade failed to become gen eral manager of the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe general solicitor was slightly acquainted with Mr. Frey, and when the time came for naming a successor to Mr. Robinson, he swung the balance In his favor against Mr. Wade. In this way Mr. Wade remained in California 6k general manager of the Southern California, and Mr. Frey came to To peka as general manager of the Santa Fe. The year following Mr. Frey's connec tion with the Santa Fe. the road became Involved in the A. R. IT. strike. It was a trying time for the new official, witn the several thousand miles of the Santa Fe road proper under his control, and his actions were closely watched by the railroad world generally. It was then that the executive ability, for which he had been noted since the time he be came general superintendent of the M., K. T. was put to the test, as probably two-thirds of the employes along the line of road were turned against the management. Rut Mr. Frey came out )f the trouble with colors flying, and re ceived congratulations from railroad officials all over the United States for the way in which he handled the strike. J&r. Frey was 17 years of age when lie entered rai'way service as a messenger boy on the Ohio Mississippi, with which roa he stayed three years as messenger oy, operator and night dis patcher, le? ving in ISAM to become train master on he Missouri Pacific. In 1872 he filled th same post on the M.. K. T., and i:i 3 74 became superintendent c-f telegraph a d then division superintend ent of tin- ;ame road. From 1S76 to 1&V3 he had a -ide experience in the operat ing departments of various lines in the southwest, being assistant, division or general superintendent in succession on the Iron A! mntain, the Missouri Pacific, the Texas A St. Louis and M., K. T. In Marc h, 1S93, he became vice presi dent and general manager of the East Line lied River (now the Sherman, Shreveport Southern.), but in the fol lowing month he was made general manager of the A., T. S. F. railroad. Mr. Frey was born in Jeffersonvill?!, Ind., September 27, 1848. He was mar ried on November 25, 1872, in Sedalia. Mo., to Miss Ktta M. Hall, and as the fruit of the marriage there are four chil dren living. They are John C, Hall. J. J. Jr., and Henrietta. KANSANS ABROAD. Jayhawker Teachers .Picnie at Jackson Park, Chicago. Chicago, July 13. Kansans and for mer Kansans to the number of half a hundred, most of whom are attending the summer school at the University of Chicago, assembled in Jackson park Saturday afternoon for a picnic. A cozy spot on the Wooded Hand was the place of meeting. Social intercouse. Kansas songs and various informal games contributed to the pleasure of the afternoon. After a hearty lunch "on the green" and a launch ride on the lagoon, the party adjourned late in the evening to meet again in four weeks.

Heavy Property Loss From Pow der Mill Explosion. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 13. An explo sion occurred at 1:30 p. m. today at the I Laflin Powder mills near Moosic, 12 I miles from here. Three were killed and it is thought several others were mortal ly injured. The force of the explosion interfered with telephonic communica tion and accurate particulars are diffi cult to obtain. As far as can be learned the corning mill, glaze mill and the press building were all demolished. The killed were: John Day, his son Alfred and Alexan der Moore, all three of Lallin. Thomas Hays of Yatesville and Josiah Pierce of Moosic were fatally burned. I The loss will t each thousands of dol lars. The origin of the accident is not known. ACADEMY REPORT ISSUED. Professor Grimsley as Completed Book of 275 Pages. Volume XVITI of the Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science has just been issued by G. P. Grimsley, secre tary. It is a book of 275 pages, giving all the papers read at the Academy of Science meetings in 1901 and 1902, to gether with the proceedings of the con ventions, statistical Information, and many interesting half-tone pictures. One of the features of the report is a complete general index of the seventeen preceding volumes of reports, which has been compiled by G. P. Grimsley. The index is both to papers and authors. Another improvements introduced by Secretary Grimsley, who prepared the report, is the use of larger type than was usei in former reports, copies ot the report are now being sent out throughout the state. KILLED HER SISTER. Charge on Which a Blooming ton Girl Is Arrested. Bloomington, 111., July 13 A tremendous sensation was created here at noon today by the arrest ot Maude Jordine, the 17-year-old daughter of Andrew Jordine, the reputed father ot a murdered baby. The girl is charged with the crime and other warrants are in preparation which will prove equally sensational. The allega tions are that the defendant had a special inu-re.-t in the removal of the baby and wi.s a principal in the murder. The crime for which Maude Jordine was arrested was the brutal murder or" nor sis ter Mabel, the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jordine, on last Thurs day nilit. Freight Handler Strike Chicago, July 13. All the freight han dlers employed by the Chicago Ter minal Transfer company at Its Western Avenue depot, struck today because of the discharge Saturday of 21 men, who refused to handle freight from the Kel logg Switchboard and Signal company. Pickets turned away every teamster who sought to deliver goods at the depot. The teamsters made no objection and appeared to be in sympathy with the strikers. Business at the station is emporarily at a standstill. Gas Can Be Piped to Topeka Says Grimsley. Question of Finances Will Be the Serious One. COMPETE WITH COAL. Promoters Believe Natural Gas Is a Cheap Fuel. A Price of 40 Cents a Thousand Is Proposed. While the proposed system of piping natural gas to Topeka from the Kansas gas fields would give Topeka gas at less than half of the rate charged by the manufactured gas company, it seems probable that in order to compete with soft coal as fuel for heating, the price would have to be fixed even lower than 40 cents per thousand cubic feet. G. P. Grimsley, secretary of the Kan sas Academy of Science, now has in preparation a report on 'the feasibility of piping gas to this city, in which he discusses the amount of gas which is required to be the equivalent of a ton of coal. The bretically, the amount of gas re quired to equal a ton of the best Pitts burg, Pa., hard bituminous coal is 20,000 cubic feet. In actual practice, however, it is found that the incomplete combus tion of coal, and the waste in starting and stopping a coal tire, makes the equivalent of a ton of soft coal to b from 10,000 to 12,000 cubic feet. At the rate of 40 cents per 1,000, this would be from $4 to J4.50 for enough gas to eual a ton of soft coal. Soft coal is now be ing sold for $1.50 a ton, but this is much higher than prices have been usually in Topeka. Usually the best soft coal can be bought at fiom J2.50 to $3.50 a ton. Just at the present time, the gas couid compete with coal, but if coal should go back where it was prior to last winter, the gas would have to depend on its su perior advantages as fuel to control the market. In his report. Prof. Grimsley states that it is entirely feasible to pipe nat ural gas to Topeka. "I would regard the question of money as the most serious one," said Prof. Grimsley this morning to a reporter for the State Journal. "It will take a large sum to build the pipe line. I should judge that the field which this company proposes to tap is good for 15 or 20 years' eervice yet." N" B. Burdge, one of the chief pro moters of the proposed gas company, said today: "We believe that we can compete with coal for fuel in Topeka. People will find that there is a great saving in gas as fuel because they can start and stop a fire without any waste. Ihe only way to really determine how cheap gas is at 40 cents a thousand is to use it at that rate." The consideration of the proposed gas franchise will be taken up at the spe cial council meeting this evening. Prof. Grimsley says that the question of how much gas is equivalent to a ton of coal is a very difficult one to de termine for cractical nurposes. He says that many scientists decline to make any estimates on this matter, but that the weight of evidence is that 20 -000 feet of gas is equal to a ton of coal, when both are burned under the besi possible conditions. His torthcoming report will sai-: "Various rumors are heard lrom time to time of schemes to pipe gas from southeastern Kansas to cities outside the gas belt. It is stated that there are three or four companies now at work on projects of this kind. The only one which has made definite plans, so far as known, is a company organized to pipe gas to Topeka and towns along the way. This company is now at work securing a franchise at Topeka and has leased several thousand acres of gas land with a number of good welH This line would be about !t miles long and will cost about one million dollars. That such a line is practicable is proved by the experience in the eastern states. Buffalo is supplied with gas piped from Canada and from Elk coun ty, Pennsylvania, a distance of 90 miles. Columbus. Ohio, is supplied with gas piped 40 to 50 miles, and the same field is now supplying Toledo through a 125 mile pipe line. West Vir ginia furnishes gas to Ohio and Penn sylvania. "If a pipe line was built to Topeka it would be a paying proposition and would mean much for that city. "Ohio laboratory experiments showed that about 20,000 cubic feet of natural gas equalled one ton of best Pittsburg coal, and these figures are usually given to siiow the value of gas for fuel. In such laboratory experiments, both the coal and gas are burned under most favorable conditions. Practical experiment in a stove shows the gas will give a higher timperature in a given time than coal, and its available heat supply will be greater. "A less amount of gas heat energy will escape through the pipe and chim ney in the form of soot and smoke. In other words the combustion of gas will be practically more complete in the stove or furnace than when coal is used. "Observation on the use of coal in a stove and under a boiler for a given length of time, and also on the use of gas for the same length of time shows that about 10.000 or 12.000 cubic feet v.-iil be equivalent to a ton of coal used under favorable conditions by a good fireman. The exact practical equiva lent cannot be stated on account of the many variable factors, but the above figures are regarded as approximately correct." Orangemen Celebrate. Belfast, Ireland. July 13. The Orange men are today engaged in their annual celebration of July 12. in their custo mary way. About 1C0.000 men partici pated in the celebration. The entire po lice force was on duty and the troops were confined to barracks fo as to be ready in case of emergency. At Ros trevor. County Dow n, there are 1,700 po lice and soldiers in the town and vi cinity, which gives the place the ap pearance of being in a state of siege. The nationalists mostly refrained from counter demonstrations. "Weather Indications. Chicago, July 13. Kansas: General ly fair tonight; partly cloudy and warmer Tuesday; variable winds be coming southerly.. WORK ISJJELAYED Erection of High School to Be gin in October. New School Houses for North Topeka Postponed, TO EE PRESSED BRICK. Objection to Using Cheaper Grade in Parkdale School. Pot win and Lawman Hill Build ings Will Be Completed. W. H. Wilson, chairman of the build ing committee of the Topeka board of education stated today that in his opin ion work ought to be and probably would be comrrfenced upon the new manual training high school in October. It is planned to have the building ready for occupancy by a year from the open ing of the next term of school. There will be no hitch about the is suing and disposal of the $131,500 worth of school bonds as there is about the waterworks bonds which are now being contested in the Kansas supreme court. The Kansas school fund commissioners have announced that they will take the entire issue of Topeka school bonds as an investment for the state school funds. The bonds have not yet been issued as there is yet no need for funds. An agreement has been made between the board of education and the school fund commissioners that these bonds will be turned over whenever and as fast as money is needed to pay for school building construction in Topeka. They will be dated and will draw inter est from the time at which they are taken by the school fund commissioners. It is a particularly fortunate circum stance that the bonds can be so dispos ed of as all commissions to agents are saved and money. can be realized when ever needed. The delay that has been made in com pleting arrangements for the construc tion of the new manual training high school building has resulted from the disarrangement of the school board's af fairs by the recent flood. It had been planned to build another school house in North Topeka as well as to make ad ditions and changes at other North To peka buildings. The construction of the new building has been indefinitely post poned. Not until this fall will the board of education be able to tell how much school space will be needed in North To peka. Probably considerably less thau before. The absence of Supt. Davidson, who la in Boston, has had something to do w ith the postponement of wm-k on the plans for the new high school. Mr. Davidson will return about August 1. J. C. Holland, who has been selected architect for the new building, will go to Chicago, meet Supt. Davidson there on his return, and with him will in vestigate manual training school archi tecture there and in Indianapolis for several days. Mr. Holland has asked for about two months in which to draw up plans for the new building, but ex pects to have them ready for .inspection about September 15;-1 Another month wili be allowed for receiving bids from contractors and the completion of the foundation before cold weather is a reasonable expectation. Chairman Wilson said this afternoon: "I see no reason why the contractor to whom the work is given can not finish the foundations of the new building be fore the setting in of cold weather. Work cn the building can be resumea in the spring and it ought to be fin ished early next summer. There is no serious obstacle to the construction of the new building and the majority of the members of the school board are in favor of beginning work with all the expediency possible. The uncertaintj about the expense necessary for re pairing the North Topeka buildings has held up our other work, but the build ings in North Top ka are in fairly good shape and the work there is well in PKESSED BRICIv IN PARKDALE. It is probable that the plan of using vitrified brick in the walls of the new Parkdale school building will be given up. Edward Wilder and one or two other members of the board of educa tion have been enthusiastic over the idea cf securing a good quality of vitri fied brick of even color in order to se cure a building effect different from the ordinary but investigation has shown that the sort of vitrified brick desired is hard, if not impossible to find. A meeting of the building committee of the school board has been called for this afternoon for the purpose of ar ranging for work in Lowman Hill and it is probable that the Parkdale brick matter will be called up and settled. The residents of the new Parkdale district have not received the idea of a vitrified brick building- warmly. They want pressed brick. It is probable, since suitable material can not be secured, that the school board will finally agree to use the customary pressed, brick for the Parkdale building. Four rooms are to be finished in the new Lowman Hill school building in order to give more room for the comin? winter. The exterior construction has long since been finished but more rooms were provided than were needed at the time the school was opened. The only other school building work to be done this summer will be in Potwin where four rooms are to be added to the pres ent school building. Potwin has been seriously crowded but the increased space will give ample accommodation for the patrons of the district. Wrork in Parkdale has not been commenced but will be within a very few weeks. MISSING WITH $40,000 New Developments in the Disap pearance of E. E. Wilson. Wellington. Kan.. July 13. The Central Bank and Trust company of Ashland has sued the Sumner-Sherman Cattle company for $21 000 which was drawn by Emera Wilson, president of the cattle cotnpanv, who has disappeared. The company was ignorant of the transaction until Sunday. E E Wilson, county attorney of Sumn-r county was supposed to have committed suie'de !n Topepka. but it is now said he embezzled nearly $j0.0"0- Temperatures of Largo Cities.

The Pope Is Troubled With Fleeting Hallucinations. Was Not Permitted to Leave His Bed Today. CONDITION IS WORSE. Signs of Approaching Dissolu tion More Apparent. Pulse Is 82 and His Respira tion Is 32. Rome, July 13, 7 p. m. The pope's condition is becoming worse. Contrary to the arrangements made for a daily reception to three cardinals, none were permitted to enter the sick chamber to day. Hyperdermic injections of salt and water have been administered to the pope. The night bulletin is anxiously awaited. Rome, July 13. The pope has not been allowed to get up today. His condition has become slightly worse. Dizziness has become pronounc ed and is accompanied by fleeting hallu cinations. This morning the doctors issued the following bulletin regarding the condi tion of the pope: "Up to midnight the pontiff remained tranquil, but afterwards he experienced agitated intervals. A physical exami nation of the thorax shows no change since day before yesterday. The action of the kidneys continues slightly, and the general condition of his holiness is somewhat depressed. His pulse! is 82, respiration 32 and temperature 36 cen trigrade. (.Signed) "LAPPONI. "MAZZONL" The dizziness from which the pope suffered was a kind of mental confu sion, during which he seemed to lose consciousness of his surroundings, while he believed he saw a vision. He explained afterwards that he thought he saw an undefined shadow moving about the room and slowly approach ing his bed, whereupon the pontiff be came agitated and called for his valet, Pio Centra, saving: "Pio! Pio! Who is it? Who is it?" Dr. Lapponi and Centra rushed to the patient's bed and soon succeeded in tranquilizing him. It developed during the morning, as the result of a careful medical exami nation, that the condition of the pope's kidneys is worse. The diminution of certain elements leads the doctor ro fear that his system ia gradually apr proaching a state of dissolution. No traces of albumen were found, indi cating, although the kindeys are not performing their functions properly, ihat they are not themselves organ ically diseased. .TRIBUTE FROM A METHODIST. New York, July 13. A special tribute to the dying head of the Roman Catho lic church has been uttered by the Rev. G. W. Grinton, of the Forty-fourth Street Methodist Episcopal .church. "It is generally the rule," he said, "to criticise a man unmercifully while he lives, to expose all his weakness and follies. If he be a public servant, to caricature him and hold him up to a world wide ridicule, and then when dead to gather up his good deeds into a wreath and place them on his casket, 'The rule has been reserved in the ap- t plication to the pontiff about whose j health and well being millions of persons have been deeply solicitous, and whose I good acts have been recorded in all lands. j "His love of justice, simple dignity, j kindly sympathy have endeared the pontiff to the Catholic world, who de light to pay tribute to the statesman- snip, tact and splendid genius ot their loved pope, who has done much for the progress of civilization. From crowned head to peasant, from president to la boring man. prayers and good wishes have been expressed for this remarkable man. "Leo has known no nationality, but has been interested in all. Deprived of temporal power, he has possessed a greater power, a dynamic that that has controlled the hearts of men and shaped, in many instances, the policies of mon archies and republics, lie has restored the golden age of the papacy in Its best sense. As philanthropist, poet, educator and reformer, the name of Leo XIII w ill be placed among the very great, if not the greatest pope, in history." THE POPE BEGS FOR AIR. Rome, July 13. At both the Vatican and the house of Dr. Lapponi the ar rivals of patent medicine, surgical in stilments and medical apparatus of all kinds continue, each being accompanied by assurances that his holiness will re cover if it is used according to direc tions. From Vienna have come highly perfected machines for producing arti ficial respiration and for making oxy gen. The pontiff, however, has not re quired the administration of oxygen for the last three days. "What 1 need," says Pope Leo, "is air, fresh air. Be sides, I should be allowed to rise. An old man of 94 should not be kept in bed when without fever." FIFTEEN HURT. Dumped Into. Subway from Burning Trolley Car. New York, July 13. Fifteen persons have been hurt by falling into the sub way excavation at Lenox avenue and 125th street, after jumping from a burn ing trolley car on which they had a thrilling ride for several blocks, vhile the motorman was making desperate efforts to reach a fire engine house. The car was filied with about eighty passengers, mostly women and children. When they discovered the fire many tried to Jump, but the motorman put on the full power. He had not gone two blocks before the car was enveloped in flames. The conductor saw that there was danger of burning the whole car load of passengers and rang the bMl. The car came t a stop right over the excavations for the subway. The pas sengers piled off on top of one another. The planking over the hole collapsed and about 25 persons were carried down. Those on the bottom were severely bruised but only one was in a serious condition. WILL. TK.Y RUDOLPH, TOO. The Fact That He Has' Gone Will Blake No Difference. St. Louis, July 13. Geo. Collins alias Fred Lewis, the confederate of "Bill" Rudolph, the bank robber who escaped from jail last Monday," was taken to Union today for trial on the charge of killing Charles Schumacher, a detective who had been sent to arrest the two men. Although not present, Rudolph will be tried on the same charge. Sheriff Thomas B. Bruch, of Franklin county, accompanied by four deputies, escorted the prisoner, to guard against his es cape or rescue by Rudolph, who is still at large. DAMAGING STORMS. Many Localities Yisited by Heavy Rain and Lightning. Washington, July 13 During a ter rific thunderstorm which passed over the city lightning struck a boathouse near the Potomac river in which about a dozen men had taken refuge on their way home from the bathing beach. One man was killed outright, another so badly injured he may die and still an other is in the hospital suffering se verely from the effects of the bolt. Everyone of the men who had taken refuge in the boathouse felt the effects of the thunderbolt. Ten feet of the flag pole over the house was wrenched oil and the structure itself was wrecked. C. H. Banningan, the policeman on duty at the beach, while hurrying to the emergency hospital for assistance after the accident, was twice rendered tem porarily unconscious from the effects of lightning striking trees near him. Phy sicians from the hospital succeeded in restoring most of those who had been hurt, to consciousness and the remain der were taken to the hospital. In another part of the city Nora Shipley, a negro girl, 15 years old, who was sitting at a window, was stunned by a lightning bolt. Baltimore, Md., July 13. A severe wind and rain storm occurred here which was particularly violent In a limited ..section of northeast Baltimore, where within a radius of about four blocks 50 houses were unroofed, walks demolished and trees uprooted. For several squares the streets were thick ly strewn with debris of wrecked roofs, brick and splintered limbs of trees. Three hundred people were rendered homeless for the time being and were compelled to find shelter in neighboring house3. The damage to houses ana household goods is estimated at $100, 000. The rainfall here for the day was 3.90 inches and the velocity cf the wind 46 miles an hour. Beaver City, Neb., July 13. A terrific electrical and wind storm prevailed here Sunday afternoon, lasting forty-five minutes, in which time two and one fourth inches of rain fell. The wind blew with great violence, doing much damage to small buildings and wind mills. The wheat crop, just ready for harvest, was damaged. The Salvation rrmy of Kansas and Nebraska, now holding a camp meeting Irere, suffered much loss. Nine tents were blown down. Commander Holland was struck by a falling tent pole and sustained a dislocation of the shoulder. The camp was flooded with water. The women members of the army have been taken into the houuses of citizens and will be provided for during the remain der of their stay here. Beaver creek ia out of its banks and a section of the Burlington track between Beaver City and Stamford is wasnea out. Hastings, Neb., July 13. A cloud burst visited the Little Blue river dis trict south of Hastings. Nearly eight inches of water fell. The stream is out of its banks and the highest for nine teen years. Much property is reported destroyed and many head of cattle drowned. A party of campers on the river barely escaped with their lives. York, Neb., July 13. A hailstorm to day destroyed all crops in the north eastern part of the county, covering a strip nine miles in length by three in width. ROOT AT OYSTER BAY. Goes There for a Conference With President Roosevelt. Oyster Bay, N. Y.. July 13. Secretary of War Root is the guest of Pres ident P.onsevf'lt at Sagamore Hill. He ar rived here unaccompanied on the 5:23 train Sunday evening. At the station he found the president's little daughter, Ethel, awaiting him in one of the executive car riages. They were driven at once to Sag amore Hill. Secretary Root said that his purpose in visiting the president at this time was to discuss with him some departmental mat ters which required the president's atten tion. While he declined to indicate what the matters were, it is known that t lie pending investigation of army contracts, the Alaskan boundary question and soine problems relating to ihe Philippines will be considered. This probably will be the last conttrnce the president and the secretary of vtar wiil have before the latter sails for England to bgin the wot k of the Alaskan boundary commission. The American case has been made up and it is known that the president desires to consult with Mr Root regarding the work of the commis sion. The secretary will remain at S-igamor? Hill probably until this evening, although he may extend his visit until Tuesday morning. President Roosevelt, accompanied by iiis daughter. Ethel, attended services Sunday n-.oriang at the Presbyterian church. At the conclusion of the services he greeted cordialiv several old acquaintances. Mrs. Roosevelt and the other children attended as usual the services at Christ Episcopal church. MRS. CU31MINGS CONVICTED Penalty Is Fixed at Ten Tears Imprisonment. St. Louis, July 13. The sealed verdict of the jury, read in court today, finds Mrs. Minnie Cummings, charged with killing her husband, Dennis Cummings, April 18, 1903, is guilty of murder in the second degree. The penalty is fixed at ten years imprisonment in the peni tentiary. Mrs. Cummings will on July 20 be tried for the alleged murder of her third husband, Edgar M. Harris, who died in October, 1902. His death was termed suicide, but a later investiga tion, after the death of Cummings, led to an indictment charging murder in the second degree. Must Fay the License Fee. Kansas City, Kan., July 13.

Some of the wagons stopped running dur ing the day and many people had difficulty in getting ice. TOUCHEDJOTTOM Number of Stocks Beach Lowest Point in Years. Santa Fe and Bock Island Made Heavy Declines. ONSLAUGHT OF BEARS Carried Steel Securities to Low est Point Ever Reached in the History of the Corporation. New York, July 13. Increased weak ness was shown by the stock market in today's early dealings, and a number of issues, Including: some of the standard class, touched the lowest price i a years. The opening was fairly steady with In dications of good support but values soon receded under the vigorous on slaughts of the bears, together with a renewal of last week's liquidation. Lon don reported a weak and hesitating market for Americans. Stocks that made heavy declines In the first hour included Pennsylvania, New York Central, Northwestern, Atch ison, Rock Island, St. Paul, Illinois Cen-V tral, Wabash, The Tractions, Metropoli tan, Manhattan and Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Amalgamated copper. The bonds of the U. S. Steel corpora tion went to the lowest point in their history. On railroads prices were In sym pathy with the regular market. Business was fairly large in volume and stop loss orders came out. Commission houses with middle western connections were prominent in the selling movement. Boston sold also. Aside from the feeling of pessimism there was no news to ac count for the weakness of the market and such encouragement as should have resulted from last week's favorable crop news was entirely ignored. The end of the first hour brought a partial recovery in some issues and the volume of trading diminished material ly but the tone of the list continued fe verish and unsettled. A partial rally in the second hour gave way to another selling movement in the course of which prices fell to a lower level than at the opening. B. O., Reading and Southern Pa cific were the especial objects of inter est. New York Central, St. Paul, Illi nois Central and Consolidated Gag e.l) made further declines. To show the ex treme sensitiveness of the market, Lackawanna jumped 6 points between sales of 100 share lots. The second de cline was followed by another rally Just before noon. WANTED JO LYNCH THEM Fort Leavenworth Soldiers After Two Negroes. Leavenworth, Kas., July 13. United States soldiers attempted to lynch Everidge Williams and Walter Brown, both negroes, last night. For over an hour the entire police department was kept busy quelling the trouble. Wil liams and Brown had engaged in a row with soldiers at Ninth and Kickapoo streets and one of them fired a numbei of shots at a soldier. The soldiers then congregated in great numbers. A hasty consultation followed, and it was decided to lynch the two negroes if they could be found. With this deter mination about twenty-five soldiers and a number of citizens went to the homes of Williams and Brown, near the old fair grounds, and surrounded both houses. Ropes had been secured and everything was in readiness for a lynching. Policemen with Winchesters and revolvers appeared on the scene, and by carefully maneuvering the succeeded in getting Brown and Wil liams away to the police station. A number of soldiers with revolvers were arrested, but were later released. The affair caused considerable excite ment, and it was not long until stories of killing by the score were in circula tion. RANCHMEN FREE. Dewey, McBride and Wilson Left Jail Today. Chauncey Dewey, W. T. McBride and Clyde Wilson left the Shawnee county jail shortly after noon today, free men, though under bond of $15,000 each to appear for trial at the required time. They will all go from Topeka to Eur eka Lake, Manhattan, where they will stay for several weeks. McBride and Wilson were the first to leave the jail. Dewey did not finirh packing up his things until about 2 o'clock this after noon. When asked as to his plans for the future, Dewey said: "We hava no definite plans. We are going up to the lake for awhile, but after that our plans are uncertain. The bond was approved by Sheriff McCullough, and we are at liberty to go where we please." It was rumored this morning that the bond would possibly not be approved by the sheriff for the reason that it did not contain the "name of any resident of Cheyenne county. In case it became necessary to prosecute on the bond, it was claimed by some attorneys, it would be useful to the authorities to have one man on the bond a resident of Cheyenne county. But evidently this point was either overlooked by the sher iff, or did not carry much weight with him. The bondsmen are John R. Mulvane and Joab Mulvane, of Topeka, and Chauncey Dewey, Sr., of Illinois. Students Must Fay Foil Tax. Salina, July 13.

.1 s TOPEKA STATE JOIJRNAIMONDAY1 EVENING. JULY 13, 1903. KAfiSASNEWS. Miners Consider Wage Question In Secret. Decided Best Not to Open Doors to Public. MITCHELL'S ADDRESS. The Great Labor Leader I'rges Moderation, But Insists That the Jlen Stand I'p for Their Rights. Flttsbttrg, Kan., July 13. The Inter state Miners' convention spent Satur day discussing the scale for the ensuing year in executive session. A number of resident coal miners made applica tion for admission to the convention ao spectators, but the convention deemed it not advisable to throw the doors upon to the general public, as if one was ad mitted, all would have to be and the large crowd would interfere with the transaction of the convention business. The doorkeeper was Instructed not to permit others than delegates to enter except by vote of the convention. The courtesy of seats in the convention as spectators was extended to the state officials of the mining and labor bureaus, and the reiresentatives of the press. President John Mitchell made the con vention an interesting address on the Interstate movement during the fort noon, speaking of the advantages to be gained by having a joint contract for three districts. lie appealed to the miners of the southwest to meet the op erators, not in a spirit of bluff and bravado but as a man to man, and talk over the situation calmly, temperately and without prejudice or passion, lie declared, however, that the miners should hold their Independence and re main firm for their rights, and at the same time concede to the opeSators the rights that they have. The scale w as taken up section by section, and each-1 was thoroughly -discussed. The scale and contract will not be made public until after it .is adopted, but it is understood -that it does not make any excessive demands upon the operators. It provides for a reasonable advance in wages over last year's con tract; stipulates that it is to be a uni form contract throughout the three dis tricts, special schedules for some of the fields being provided for in regard to the thickness of tho vein and manner of working: and also providing for the complete recognition of the union in the three districts. It is believed that the Operators will hot hesitate about ac cepting the contract and scale provided bv the miners, as it is not greatly dif ferent from last year's scale, except for the uniformity throughout the districts and the advance in the wage scale. The conference committee will be appointed after the report of the scale committee is disposed of. The Southwestern Operators' associa tion, which has been in session in Pitts burg since Thursday, adjourned Satur day evening until Monday, at which time the conference committee, will be ready to nnet with the miners' confer ence committee in j"irvt conference. A general scale committee was unpointed with four members from each of the south western states. This committee will act sis an interstate committee, to arrange the matters r- Halve to nn interstate joint con tract with the miners .f the three south western mine worker.' districts.

The wheat yield in this county this year will be the largest ever known here, and still theie is lots of wheat which will be lost on account of the scarcity of hands. In this county alone there are 200 hands needed. The harvest is half over. The demand is still greater up the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe branch in Kush, Ness and adjoining counties. I. y day there are num bers of fain eis from points up west who are here to meet the trains and send what men they can get to their homes. Every day now means a big loss un less they can get men, and to them it is a desperate situation. Several trains have been stopped at points west of liera and the pucsengers offered big wages if th -y will only help harvest. Some farmers here promise the men $J.f,0 and S3 a day, three meals with lunches in the th Id. morning and af ternoon, and top this with the promise of giving the men all the beer they want. It is no uncommon sight to see women in the fields driving the header barc-es. One plan pursue! pretty successfully by a number of farmers near here is to have women representatives meet the trains and hire the hands. They have proved to be better -than the men, and there are a dozen or more farmers in one totality who have full crews which were obtained for them by these women after they had practically failed in getting; them themselves. WILL CAKE FOa THEMSELVES Morris County Sends Her Belief Fund to Argentines Council Grove, Kas., July 13. The county- commissioners of Morris county have been in session for a week. After carefully considering the situation they decided to return the flood relief money sent them and request that it be turned over to Argentine!, whose destitution was known to a member of the board. Morris county feels able to handle the flood situation and desires that the re lief funds apportioned to this county, about $1,000, be passed on to those who suffered to a greater degree. While the loss alonjr the Neosho here was severe and at ona time there wai considerable need of assistance when several hundred families were home less, at present every destitute nerson and family has been relieved by a local tund raised by our liberal minded citi zens who had escaped. Morris county has an old-time feeling for Wyandotte, which extends back to territorial days! when the latter's name was spelled without the final "e," and takes pleas ure in directing assistance to her in this hour of rieed.

How the National Is Doing in Mid-Season. New York, July 13. The half-mile post in the race of the National league teams for 1903 championship laurels finds Hans Wagner, the versatile mem ber of the Pittsburg club, leading the vay with the stick. For the past three weeks "Wagner has been going along at a rate which has almost completely lost those who have endeavored to keep pace with the clip. The followers of the Cincinnati team will in all probability note with keen delight the standing of Cozy Dolan, the outfielder who figured with Daly in the deal for Magoon. From the manner Dolan has been smashing out drives it is more than likely that he intends to make his presence felt by the National league pitchers. The new Cincinnatian is but two small points from Bresnahan of New York, who holds second place by an eyelash. Stelnfeldt, also of tne Keds, occupies fout th place by the grace of constant work with his blngle maker. Nineteen regulars and two pitchers are members of the .300 class. Of this number Pittsburg claims five, Cincin nati, New York, Chicago and Philadel phia three each, Brooklyn one and Bos ton one. Luckless St. Louis, represent ed last in everything from soup to nuts, stands alone without a. regular in the society of the .300. An interesting feature of the present season has been the race between Wagner and Beaumont, of the Pirates, to see who could tabulate 100 hits first. It has been nip and tuck between the pair since "play ball" was first called on April 16. Beaumont took the lead and was never headed, but Wagner was always itar.sine on like a leech. The same day these figures were compiled j Beaumont crossed tne century-nne mi, swelling his total to 101. being the first player in either National or American league to reach the 100 mark during the present season. Wagner watched his rival obtain the desired honor after making a great effort and finished a good second with 99. But for the fact that Wasmer has played in four games less than Beaumont there might be a different story to tell. Kennedy, of Pittsburg, who was counted as all in before a game was r,lavei this vear. has demonstrated that he is the same brickyard as of old. This j erratic player who was cast aarut Dy Ned Hanlon, tried and found wanting by New York early last season, has proved the biggest surprise the baseball world has had in an age. This "no ac count" pitcher has demonstrated that he is far from being a dead one in a manner which proves beyond a doubt that the best managers in the business can make mistakes. Kennedy now holds an honor seldom obtained by a twirler, accomplishing the feat of lead ing all the pitchers in batting, fielding and games won. Brooklyn enjoys the distinction of having the leading catcher, first base man, second baseman and shortstop in Jacklitsch. Doyle. Flood and mhlen, Corcoran, of Cincinnati, being but a sirirle noint behind Dahlen. Wolverton of Philadelphia, leads the three-baggers, with Strange of Brooklyn, second, and Steinfeldt third. Dolan, of the Reds, is showing his j heels to the entire bunch of outfielders, with a clean record. The hardest run field in the le?rue circuit has no ter- j rors for the erstwhile Chicagoan. Pittsburg leads in club batting and in long hits by clubs. Brooklyn holds the I club fielding. Cincinnati ranks fourth in all divisions. The base-running hon- i ors of 13 will in all probability fall to either Sheckard of Brooklyn, t. nance m Chicago, or either Mertes or McGann of New York. Pittsburg still leads in the matter of double plays, with 60; i-t. Louis second. 59; Brooklyn, 49; New York, 47; Boston, 44; Cincinnati, 40; Philadelphia, 40; Chicago, 37. Warde and Ware Won tha Finals. New York. July 13. The Harvard team, Holcombe Warde and Leonard E. Ware.

Charles Com iskey, of the Chicago American league liud, when asked whether he would try to enjoin Davl from playing with the New York Giants here, said: The Chicago club will surely protect its interests, and is prepared to give the New York club and the National loague all tha fight it wants. "He are in a position to make a fight and a good one, if necessary, but I have aa idea that things will be smoothed, over before another clash occurs. I do not think the 'baseball public will stand tor another wtir that will result in the jumping of players -and a general dis ruption of teams, he-.garae was going on at a nice clip before tnis Davis mat ter caused friction, and I am sorry it arose, although,, we shall protect our interests at every hazard." President Ban Johnson, when asked if he thought there would be another war, said: "Surely not of our. -.making, but we shall fight for the'princlple w e have es tablished and which was ratified unan imously by the peace committee in Cin cinnati in January last. I don't think there will be ah-Qther war, for I think wiser .counsel will prevail In the Na tionel league when the situation Is bet ter understood. "The American league did not com mit a breach of faith when Elberfeld was ti-ansferred to the New York club from Detroit. The cases of Davis and Elberfeld were not parallel. I shall have no -further dealings with the Na tional league or its president until the stability of the peace pact is estab lished." After a Fifth Derby. Fort Erie, Ont.. July 13.

Since his victory in the Frontier stakes Claude has been pointed for the Canadian classic and is renorted in con dition. Reservation., the 8-year-old that de feated Claude in the Detroit Derby, but was afterwards soundly trounced by the Daly thoroughbred in the Frontier classic, will probably be second choice in the betting.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTUNAI MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1903. X y 1IT BY FAST MAIL An Excnrsion Train on tho Mis souri Pacific Wrecked. Was Standing on Curve When Collision Occurred. THREE DEAD, G2 IIUHT. Uarjgage Car Was Being Used as a Saloon. The Tender Plowed Through the Crowd of itevelers. Kansas City, July 13. Three dead and approximately sixty-two people injured, is the result of the wreck of a Sunday excurfion over the Misxourl Pacific railroad from Kansas City to Sedalia. It was a head-on collision between the St. Louis fast mail due at the Unioti station at 10:30 in the forenoon and the excursion train which pulled out of the Union depot at 9:30. The latter train was made up oi eight coaches and a baggage car, and all went well until Dead Man's curve was reached. At this point the packing In the piston of the locomotive draw ing the excursion train blew out, com pletely deadening the machinery and bringing the cars to a standstill. The place where the accident oc curred is three and one-half miles east oi the Little Blue, and on a piece of curved track which describes the letter S. The grade at this point is very heavy, and when the piston packing blew out KnginetT (ieorge McVay and his fireman, John Berber, realized the danger of a shut-down in such treacherous p.irt of the road and they tried to get over the grade and out of the cm ve into the opening by sprink ling the slippery track with sand. This proved inoifectual, so the engine lever was reversed and the necessary pre cautions taken to guard against colli sions from trains approaching from the re a r. McVay and nerger got down out of the cab to fix the piston and Conductor Hardy being cognizant of the fact that the fast St. Ixniis mail was soon to put in appearance dispatched ISrakeman C. C Crews to flng the train a mile dis tant away. Crews had orders to put out a slow down tlag a mile away, and he says he did so. and then came back to the entrance to the curve to Hug the St. Louis train down when It appeared. The St. Louis train was in churge of Kngineer Ceorge McClure of Sedalia; his fireman was Jack Sutler, also of Se dalia, and the conductor was J. M. Spangler of St. Louis. Tills train came along thirty-six minutes late, and was running at a speed of forty miles an hour. McClure claims he did not see the flag to slow riown that Crews in sists he set out a mile down the road, and that the first knowledge he had of anything being wrong waswhen his train was approaching the curve. Simul taneously McClure and his flremm, Sutler, saw the smokestack of the crip pied engine a hundred yards distant. Sutler Jumped from the cab and rolled down a thirty foot embankment. Mc Clure applied the air brakes, and as he did so he says he saw the brakeman frantically waving the tlag tor the train to stop. This was at a point 100 varus between the tivo trnins. After applying the air brake McClure says he stepped to the south side of the cab to follow his fireman in the jump, when he was caught between the side of the cab and tender. He had time to loosen himself from his position before the two loco motives came together, and to fall out on the ground and roll down the em bankment. The rapidly approaching and ponder ous locomotive struck the dead engine and drove the tender of the latter clear through the baggage car. reducing it to splinters and burying dozens of people beneath the debris. The St. Louis train engine plowed out the south rail, and fell over the embankment and landed ten feet away from its engineer. Mc Clure. who lay on the ground unable to get uj. The baggage car was used as a com missary adjunct to the excursion train Beer and other refreshments were dis pensed, and many of the excursionists were shaking dice and having a merry time unmindful of the danger. The first intimation they had of the fate in store for them was when the tender of the locomotive came tearing into the coach, and they were impaled in the broken timbers and being covered under the debris. The torce of the impact con tinued into the other cars in the rear of the baggage car and seats were knocked from their fastenings, and passengers were thrown forcibly against the sides and ends of the cars. The cries and groans of the injured filled the air, and consternation pre vailed. Those who could get out of the baggage car did so and the train crew and passengers who had escaped injury turned in to release those who were in the debris. Axes and saws were brought into requisition, and the imprisoned ones released and carried to places of safety. Three were taken from the debris dead. DKAD.

It isn't to be wondered at why that prince of landlords, George Dryer, of Grainfield, has always succeeded in get ting good beefsteak for his customers. Since 182 he has been buying his beef in Wa-Keeney, and it is claimed Trego i county beeves are the best in the Sixth district, short grass or not. as you liKe. Are all the Russell politicians going to quit the Sixth district, is a problem that is agitating the politicians of the other counties. Chas. E. Hall. George W. Hol land, Judge Otis L. Atherton, ex-Sheriff F. M. Vanderbur, L. B. Beardsley. and others have invested money in prospec tive oil wells in W ilson county. If they strike the stuff they may all leave Rus sell. It is said a large number of Russian families are moving from Russell to Trego county, where they are buying farms. There will be 40 or more fami lies. It is claimed they are mostly Re publicans. "Ye editor" of the Selden paper visit ed the country a few days since, and told all about it the following week in "Ye editor's" paper. "There will be no opposition to Con gressman Reeder next year," said a well known Sixth district Republican. Said he: "The fact of it is there are too many of tis who want his place, and we are all Jealous of one another, and as long as there are so many fellows who think thev want to succeed Reeder, he will remain where he is." Because Reeder can't appoint a half dozen or more postmasters in all his towns to appease the political itching appetites of a few. thev think he must be downed. No use trying it, boys, you let the op portunity slip by at Norton, and now Reeder has the plum for an indefinite time. I. M. Yost, who is at the head of the great milling and elevator plant at Hays City, is a candidate for delegate to the next national Republican con vention, and so far as Ellis county is concerned Mr. Yost will be one of the chosen ones. He has always been an active Republican and never soliciting an office for himself, although he has served the people of Ellis county in the legislature. And now Mr. Y'ost is going to break over the rules of helping others and will ask for himself the election as one of the delegates. He is an enthusi astic admirer and supporter of Presi dent Roosevelt and wants to vote for his renomination and election. Mr. Yost came to Ellis county from Pennsyl vania in 1878, locating in Hays City. Immediately he erected a small grist mill, near Hays City, and after operat ing it about a year it burned and there wasn't any insurance. With lots of western grit he rebuilt the mill in Hays City, and year by year he has added to it until the present time, when he now has a mill of 1.000 barrels daily capacity, and an elevator of 60.000 bush els capacity, the mill and elevator being valued at $100,000. He speaks both Eng lish and German. He is a liberal con tributor to the churches, as he Is to every public enterprise looking to the advancement of Hays City and Ellis county, as well as of the state at large. He is president of the Athletic club, vice president of the First National bank and a large stockholder in the Citizens' State bank. Mr. Yost is a relative of the famous Buffalo Bill Wm. F. Cody), who was the founder of Hays City, and it was to his influ ence Mr. Y'ost came to Kansas and. lo cated in Hays City. His mill is work ing day and night, his business having spread out to many states and terri tories. He is a thorough business man, and his extensive acquaintance will make him a formidable candidate for delegate. The talk of the Sixth district is all about wheat, oats and alfalfa. Mem ber of the legislature from Mitchell county. A. G. Mead, advertises in the Beloit papers alfalfa hay for sale. As far as heard from only one state senator in the Sixth district made a Fourth of Julv talk, and that was Hays K. White, of the Jewell-Mitchell district. He is one of the few who can talk on any subject, and interest his hearers frum beginning to end. Since George Griffith has rested up from his arduous labors he Is giving all hs time to th Hays City Republican, doing the priss work, sticking type :ind preparing copy, besides he ha9 material ly improved 1 is paper In several ways. The congressional humming bee Bob McBride. of Jewell county, thought he heurd in one er. soon appeared in the other enr. and the sound semed to have chings-d from McBrld" to Reeder.

IT IS BUILT OX PILES. Total Cost of the Building Was $3,500,000. 200 Trains Will Arrive Depart Daily. and Chicago, July 13. The new $3,500,000 passenger station of the Rock Island and Lake Shore railroads was thrown open to the public at midnight last night, when the doors were unlocked, never again to have key turned In them. There will be no formal or dedicatory exercises marking the opening of one of the largest and without doubt the finest Dassenger station in the United States. The first train out last night was the Rock Island fast mail, No. 21, which left there at 2:50 o'clock this morning, west bound. This was followed ten minutes later by the Lake Shore fast mail, No. 32, east bound. The first to arrive will be the Lake Shore train, No. 37, from New York, due there at 7:10 a. m. The Rock Island Califorina train, No. 4, will follow this in fifteen minutes later. The station occupies the entire block between La Salle and Sherman streets, on Van Buren, extending back to Har rison. When the old building was de-. molished a stone crusher was set up within the fenced inclosure to the south and all of the old stone was broken, to be used for concrete in the new founda tions. The supply was not sufficient, and it was necessary to buy stone in considerable quantities. All foundations rest on fif ty-toot'piles, driven below the city datum and capped with concrete. The caps extend below the level ot Lake Michigan, to insure that no rotting of the piles will occur. Under the two tiers of vaults extending the entire tious of which are shown in the station plan, the piles were driven in" groups of 142 each, and under each end of the arched entrance eighty piles were driven in a group. A total of 2.2S0 piles were used for the foundation of the building and train shed columns. The main building on Van Buren street is twelve stories high, ten of which are office ftooTS. It has a front age of 213 feet and a depth of 202. The train sheds are 213 feet wide and 575 feet long, and are covered with pris matic glass, which will make them light as day. The ground floor, from which entrance is made from the street, has a vestibule and large main lobby. 96x US feet. Surrounding this lobb are placed the main ticket office, baggage' check room, information bureau, dining room, teiegrapn orate, cao leiejjuuuc. messenger service and other smau offices. Leading from the ground floor to the main floor at the track level is a grand staircase and two large passenger ele vators. The track floor contains the main waiting room, women's waiting room, waiting room for elevated trains, smoking room, parcel checking room, small ticket office and other small olT-ces and rooms. The main 1 waiting room is finished in marble and mosaic with a decorated plaster ceiling, and all the woodwork will be of ma. hoganv. The offices and smaller rooms are finished in oak with maple floors, with the exception of the baggage rooms and possibly the smoking and toilet rooms. The metal work is of wrought iron. The main "waiting room is lighted through the main arch on Van Buren street, and through win dows above the concourse roof, and also through a large vaulted light ceiling in the central portion. At the highest point of this dome the ceiling will be 40 feet above the floor. The concourse connecting the main waiting room with the train shed is a departure from the ordinary. It is fin ished in harmony with the waiting room rather than with the train shed .and has a barrel vault ceiling with lighting at both ends and above. It is 45 feet wide and 210 teet long. i partition between the concourse and waiting room is of glass, so that every person in the waiting room can see into the concourse and have a view of the ends of all tracks in the train shed. There are 6.800 lights in the main building and 108 arc lamps in the train shed. The switches controlling the movements of trains will be handled from an interlocking tower located just north of Polk street. The La Salle street station is larger than any other in the United States which is owned by only two railroad companies. Although not havin- any ownership in the sta tion the Nickel Plate leases its facili ties. Over 200 trains will arrive and depart from the new depot daily. OPPOSE GOVERNMENT CONTROL Series of Important Articles Being Published by Railway Age. In this week's issue the Railway Age begins the publication of a series of articles bv H. R. Meyer on "Govern ment Ownership of Railways." These articles pre the result of an exhaustive study extending over a long period of years, and embody perhaps one of the most authoritative and valuable dis cussions of this most important subject ever presented to American readers. The following outline is from the author's introduction: "The state ownership of the railways presents two distinct problems the ad justment of the railway rates, and the management of the railways. The na ture of the first of these problems is illustrated in dramatic manner by the experience of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia: the nature of the sec ond problem is revealed in no less strik ing manner in the experience of Aus tralasia, a democratic English-speaking community with a very high level of general intelligence and a body of poli ticians who, whatever their shortcom ing?, are absolutely clean-handed. It is the purpose of this series of articles to set forth in summary manner, an yet by means of a recital of facts, the experience of the two groups of coun tries. Europe and Australasia. "Enrope's lesson for the United States is, that any thoroughgoing and effective effort to regulate railway rates will arrest the decline of railway rates, will prevent the railways from develop ing a volume of traffic sufficiently large to justify the building of railways of the American standard of efficiency, will check the development of the re roun e cf the country, and will de moralize the politics of the country. All these things the stt- ownership of would" do "in the United States, by bringing into politics one of the most perplexing of modern problems the problem of the relative reasonableness of the rates made by the railways lead ing from rival producing and distri'out- ing centers to common markets and to rival markets. "The disastrous consequences of any thoroughgoing effort to regulate rail way rates by public authority (except ing, of course, measures taken to abol ish secret personal discrimination) haa not been brought home to the AmerU can people, because the constitution of the United States, and the supreme court of the United States thus far have prevented the several state legis latures, the several state railroad com missions and the federal interstate commerce commission from pursuing the course upon which time and again they have sought to enter, the course which would have paralyzed our raiU ways, our trade and our industry, as it has paralyzed the railways, the trade and the Industry of Europe. "Australia's lesson for the United States is the visible helplessness of the politician, the absolute inability of tho politician to safeguard and to foster the long-run interests of the country in a community of which every class and every, section has become demoralized and debauched through an extension of the functions of the government car ried so far that every class and every section of the community has come to regard the state, not as the common judge between man and man, but as the great source from which flow ma terial blessings. Australia's lesson is that the politician in charge of the state never will be permitted to become a business man. that noltrlcs nev- fan be made business, but that a great deal of 'business' can be imported into poll, tics, and that in a community in which the politicians are absolutely clean handed." FBISCO'S NEW LINE. It Is Knocking for Admission at the Gates of Denver. Denver, July 13. J. L. Isenberg, rep resenting the Denver, Enid Gulf rail road, is expected in Denver the last of this week to look Into the ouestion of securing an entrai.ee into this city for that railroad. Mr. Isenberg formerly lived in Pueblo and arrived in that city yesterday from Enid. It is said on good authority that while in Denver he will call upon the Colorado Southern offi cials for the purpose of making a pro position looking to the purchase of the old Denver Gulf line between this I city and Pueblo. The object of this aeai would be to secure an entrance into Denver. This line is owned by the Col orado Southern, but has been aban doned on account of its grades and length. The company operates two trains over it each day between this city and Colorado Springs for the pur pose of holding the right of way. Should the Denver, Enid Gulf secure the iuu ii is jiraumeo mat it would cow- I'!" wlt". .lmrlnt of way at some point within 25 miles of Denver, in wnicn event the grades would not in terfere and the route would be just as short as if a new line was constructed. It is probable that Ed L. Peckham, vice president and general manager of the company, will be in the city within the next few weeks in connection with this deal. The Denver, Enid Gulf, which is In corporated for the purpose of building the Frisco extension into this city, now has the line from Guthrie to Enid, ori miles, completed and has finished the surveys to the Kansas state line. The surveying corps are now locating the line to the Colorado border, and it has not yet been decided what route across the state will be taken. The company nas witnin the rast few days eiven a mortgage for $2,600,000 to the Mississip pi Valley Trust company of St. Louis. The proceeds from the sale of these bonds is for the purpose of constructing the line from Enid to the Kansas bor der, a distance of about 130 miles. These contracts will likely he let within the next month, which will make 186 miles of the new road completed and under construction. The right of way problem into Den ver is understood to be the biggest one confronting the road at present, and no deal, it is understood, has yet been made even tentatively, which will settle that question. QUITS IEJE GAME. Island Withdraws from the Bock Mileage Bureau. Chicago, July 13. Another aggressive step was taken today in the contest now being waged between the Rock Island road and a number of its com petitors over the question of inter changeable mileage, when that road filed notice of withdrawal of member ship in the individual mileage bureau of the western roads. Notice was also given that on and after September 1, the date on which two of the other roads have given notice to change the form of interchangeable mileage used on their lines, it will pay the rebates on the in dividual Khileage books used on its own lines. Furthermore it has asked for an accounting with the bureau to deter mine what portion of unpaid rebates it is entitled to receive since it withdrew its membership in the Western Pas senger association. These unpaid re bates amount to somewhere from $i5, 000 to $100,000 a year, which is almost sufficient to pay the entire expenses of the association and its bureaus. WHY A TURN TABLE P McPherson People Think It Has to Do With Marquette Extension. McPherson. Kan., July 13. The Missouri Pacific has a gang of men at work in this city putting in a brand new turn table and this fact has sent Marquette extension stock to a high figure. Every one is pleas ed to see the Missouri Pacific doing some thing for the city and every one has some theory tied to tlie turn table with a drift toward the extension of the road. All that is known officially is what ev ery one can see for himself, namely: The turn table is being put in. Foreman of Bridges and Building John Naylcr had no definite information, but he had heard Russell Harding, general manager of the road, say that the money had been appro priated for building the extension to Mar quette and that it was done recentlv. He could not say why the turn table was be ing nut in if the company had any in tention of building the line further, but he thought it would be an ea.sy matter to move the table to Marouette if necessary. Besides, a tat;le would be almost a neces sity here if the construction gang had to come here to extend the road. The table is being set where the old one used to be. a little south and west of the Union Pacilic depot. SHELLED THE BISCUITS. Crew Stopped the Train and Hunted a Hot-box.

Waltzes Named After Stilwell. Kansas City. July 13. A. E. Stilwell. having had towns, cigars, horses, trust companies, railroads and a few other things named for him, may now feci R that the list is complete.since "The Port Stilwell Waltzes" have just been put on the market. The waltzes, which are quite good, were written by Mrs. Ina Dowden Goodrich, a Kansas City wo man born, daughter of M. S. Dowden, once a wholesale grocer here, and are formally dedicated to Mr. Stilwell. Sev eral of the Kansas City bands and or chestras are playing them. A NEW GRAFT. Insurance Scheme Which Resembles the Louisiana Lottery. Last nicht a number of railroad em ploycs were approached by a representa tive of the Railroad Association of Amer ica, who wanted to interest them in a monthly magazine only a dollar a year and entitling the subscriber to fl'TO death policy, says the San Bernardino Times-Index. "For every paid up subscriber you get the benefit of an additional hundred dol lars on your policy. Good for one year. No cheeper or safer insurance on earth. All you have to do every year is to turn in as many new subscribers as the amount of your policy in order to keep it paid, and if you gave in ten subscriliers tonight and died tomorrow the certificate I will give you would insure your widow $1,000." So far as known no one here has taken this means of insurance. It is a new form of graft, and is said to he popular among certain classes in the east. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. H. Vellenoth of the Baldwin Locomotive Works is in Topeka on a short visit. C. H. Gaunt, superintendent of tele graph for the Santa Fe, is in Chicago on business for the company. Frank J. Mileham of the Santa Fe ticket auditing department spent Sunday in St. Joseph. He was accompanied by his wife. Wolfran D. Pappe is a new clerk in the office of the freight auditor. Mr. Pappe comes from Euriington, la. He began work for the Santa Fe Saturday morn ing. W. J. Healy, freight auditor for the San ta Fe. with headquarters in Topeka, was in the city Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Healy has been busy in Kansas City dis posing cf flood damaged freight. T. L. Wilson, fourth vice president of the International Association of Machinists, is in Topeka for t'le summer. says that he intends to reorganize the union here into a more compact order. It seems that the local union is a loosely joined affair. It is stated that oil burning engines to the number of 5!K are in operation on the Southern Pacific lines between New Or leans and San Francisco, these being 40 per cent of the number of engines in use. This indicates that the substitution of oil for coal in locomotives is a permanent suc cess. Glenn Morthland, night clerk at the San ta Fe shops, is minus his gold watch. He discovered that his watch was gone Sat urday morning and immediately posted a notice throughout the shops announcing his loss. If you find the watch you would be doing the owr.tr a great service by re turning it to him. There was a general shake up last week in Santa Fe Freight Agent Trela ven's office at Chanute. H. J. Whit tlesy. traveling freight agent for the San ta Fe, with headquarters at that point, has been brought to Topeka and is now employed in the transportation depart ment He is succeeded at Chanute by E. E. Miller, chief clerk to Mr. Trcleaven. P. T. McKcrahan of the Santa Fe general offices here has been sent to Chanute to take Mr. Miller's place. Important, If True. Probably the most remarkable docu ment that ever reached the government is an exhaustive codification of "Lost Facts of History of Lands and Lan guages." written in longhand by a wo man out west. The document consists of hundreds of pages of closely aligned writings, with disconnected words and crude illustrations, anu embodies hints to rulers and a new religion and creed formulated "by a seer." In a prefatory statement the writer, whose name is withheld, says the book she now con fidingly plices in the hands of Uncle Sam for his consideration consists of "1.000 chapters and 5,000 illustrations in seven colors each." The only color, however, is the purple ink into which her pen was dipped during the many months that she must have devoted to the documentary curiosity. The document has been put away in the archives of the interior department.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Irrss and receives the full day telegraph rrport of that great news or-s-RnizBtinn lor exclusive afternoon publica tion in Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for th'.s sole pur pose, busy throughout the entire day. A complete copy of the night rtport is also received. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the Stale Journal away during ike summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rale of thirty cents a mont'i. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal at be to yo:i like a daily letter from home. The telephone directories Indicate that a few of the l is breweries are still doing business in Topeka. Among the many answers to the ques tion: "What's the matter with Kan fas?" it has been suggested that she wants harvest hands. Pittsburg Dispatch: "When the Kan sas farmers take to holding up trains to get harvest hands further proof of prosperity would be supererogatory. Not much has been heard regarding Judge Parker's candidacy for the Demo cratic presidential nomination since that gentleman went south and made a speech. As soon as Mr. Hearst returns from his wedding trip there is likely to be "something doing" in the matter of presidential candidacies In the Demo cratic camp. Interest might be added to the returns c the next local census by giving the number of jointists who have served terms in the city or county jail within the preceding year.

Russia Is not quite so firmly settled in Manchuria as she would like to be, hence she is sending out to the world the announcement that she is making it hot fur those of her citizens who have been engaged in the business of killing Jews. Oreeoe will erect a pavilion at the World's fair, St. Louis, and will also make exhibits in several of the different departments. Among the interesting things exhibited will be reproductions of old Creek statuary. Isn't It about time for some society to bob up and de mand that these old Greek statues be clothed? The Gorman candidacy for the Demo cratic nomination for president appears to bob up and down much the same as the price of sugar. The Maryland sen ator has been intimately connected w ith the sugar business in the past and doubtless would encounter many de ininders of his earlier associations with the subject if he should receive the nomination. For the crop year up to June 2, the total receipts of wheat at eight markets were 22S.519.r61 bushels, compared with 211.6.".6,05 bushels in 1302, and 213,083, 037 bushels in 1901. These figures cover ten months of the crop year In spring wheat section and eleven months in winter wheat section. They show, how ever, that for the full crop year the vol ume of receipts will undoubtedly exceed those of either 1901 or 1902. AN INDEX OF PROSPERITY. For the month of May receipts of live stock at five western markets were larger than either of the two preceding months, a total of 2,513,501 head having arrived, compared with 2,461, 868 head in April, and 2,346,410 head In March of the current year. The usual course of trade is in the other direction, and these larger receipts may be partly account ed for by the excellent condition of pasturage throughout the producing Fections. owing to the more prolonged period of rain fall. For five months ending with May this year 12.581,790 head of stock had been received at Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis and St. Joseph. For the corresponding period in 1902 a total of 12,502,506 head were reported, showing that this season 13 fully up to that of 1902 in this branch of trade. In 1901 the receipts amounted to 13,213,926 head. If the live stock trade be taken as .n index to economic conditions generally it would seem that a firm and even level of prosperity had been maintained with at least fair pro spects of continuance. This view is con firmed by comparison of the movement of live stock from Kansas City and St. Joseph for feeder and country demand. During the five months mentioned 306,- 974 head were sent from these two mar kets, w hereas In 1902 only 237,588 head were sent, and in 1901, 272,196 head. These figures indicate that the feeding interests of the stock raising sections tributary to the large slaughtering cen ters are steadily being rehabilitated. JAYHAWKEB JOTS.

Two suspicious characters were jailed at MePhtison the other day for carry ing concealed weapons. The weapons consisted of a skeleton key and a tiny sa w. Some imported harvest hands refused to work in Dickinson county although offered t4 a day. So many people like to push the button and do nothing but rest. Some one carried away 150 of Farmer Dirnmock's plump spring chickens the other night near Robinson. It's evi dently getting picnic time In Brown county. A Leavenworth physician told a pat ient that he must quit drinking whisky because it weakened his eyes. But think how it must have strengthened his breath. Now that harvest is practically ovei hundreds of New York laborers are rushing to the Kansas fields. S.imc peo ple are always busiest when there is nothing to do. Senator Burton seems to have over done the "Holy City" business, some what. But there are many of us that fail to draw the line between religion and politics. Two silver dollars paid to the Cimar ron Jacksonian office In quick succes sion caused a sigh of thankfulness from Editor Garten that was plainly visible at Dodge City. After years of absence Mr. Lamb is revisiting Cawker City. It is said that he acts very sheepish when old friends rush up to shake his hands, whose names he fails to recall. A Brown county dog followed his owner to a school meeting but neglected to follow him away. Ten days later car penters found the animal still alive but pretty weak and thirsty.

GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. An Atchison man drink3 root beer out of a champagne set. An ugly woman is never quite so ugly as when she Is in bed. Dress lisiit during this warm weather. You may look like the old Harry, but no r:atter. When a boy reaches the age when he can call all the smaller boys "kids" without getting licked, he is very proud of it. There is a difference in men. An tchison man died several years ago. mil four men are now doing his work. and not doing it very well. The most pitiful sight we know any. thing about is an old woman In a reg ular party dress; cut low in the neck. with lace fixings, and all that. The man who is always talking about how much work he does, should re member that some people work so hard that they don't have time to tell about There is great Indignation among the women. 'An Atchison boarding house keeper refused to take in a man and his wife bt cause they had a baby, and took a man and his wife and dog, and the dog eats at the table. The Atchison women have quit call ing on a certain neighbor. "She is a nice woman." they say, in explanation. but she talks too much about her sickness." (Note Do you talk too much in the same strain?) There is a very worthless man in Atchison, and he lately borrowed sev- nty dollars of a widow whose late husband carried life insurance. Some of the neighbors sympathized with the widow, whereupon she said trium phantly, "Why, I have his note for it!" POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. There is said to be very little serf bathing in Russia. It's a cold day for the candidate when he gets snowed under. In the court of lo'e the strenuous prosecutor wins his case. No man is wise who is unable to real ize the uncertainty of a sure thing. A man who will riot listen to reason soon becomes a crank that cannot be turned. The selling out of Joseph by his breth ren is the first political deal on record. All men may be born equal, but It doesn't take the majority of them long to live it down. Work may have slain its thousands, but the struggle to avoid work numbers its victims by the tens of thousands.

ItlR. THACHER HERE. Will Consult With City Council Regarding Melan Bridge. Edwin Thacher, one of the men who built the Melan arch bridge over the Kansas river at Topeka, is here to see if he will have an opportunity to put in an additional span in the place where the north approach of the bridge washed out. This was the first Melan arch bridge built under the Thacher patent, and since that time 300 arches have been built in other parts of the United States. Mr. Thacher reckons his bridge construction by the "span." The 300 spans are divided among nearly a hundred bi-i:les. At the time the Kansas avenue bridge tract for the work. Now he does no contract work but merely makes figures upon work desired to be done and farms it out to builders. Mr. Thacher said todav: "I had Just come from Des Moines, where one of the bridges is being built and have already vi-ited the counlv commissioners In re card to the matter. They told me that the bridge had been turned over to the city, but said they might share the ex Pti:se it it was decided to put in mother span. I will appear before the council at its meeting tonight and make a statemfnt in regard to the cost of making the de sired extension. The attitude of the coimtv commission ers upon Mr. Thacher's proposition is un expected. Heretofore the companv officials have been disposed to saddle all the ex pense of maintenance, of the bridge upon the city. If the county agrees to share the cost it may be possible to build the concrete extension sooner than has been exuected. MAUDE GONNEIN A ROW She With Others Expelled From Hall by Police. Dublin, July 13. Wild scenes today marked the second day debate by the municipal corporation on the question of presenting an address of welcome to King Edward on his arrival in Dublin. The public gallery was filled with peo ple long before the meeting began and the huge crowd which was shut out subsequently broke down the doors in its efforts to get In. Lord Mayor Har rington made a violent speech against the address and compared the national ists who favor it to men who had "sold the Irish parliament." Maude Gonne (Mrs. McBride) was among the demonstrators who contin ued the uproar until the lord mayor finally called in the police, who cleared the hall. After a stormy sitting of four hours the motion in favor of the address- was defeated by 40 to 37 votes. THE ST. JOE EXCURSION. How the Topekana Were Entertained at the "Antics." The St. Joseph Press says: "f ifty visiting Elks from Topeka ar rived for a day at the Antics. "At the union passenger station a rousing welcome was given them by two hundred St. Joseph Elks. "The Fourth Regiment and Pryor's bands did the honors, and as the Santa Fe train rolled in at 10:30 o'clock "A Hot Time" greeted the Topekans and foretold the spirit in which they would be entertained. "Among those of the welcoming com mittee were Mayor Borden and other city officials. "A special train of street cars was in waiting and the visitors were given a trolley ride to Krug park. "Fifteen minutes was spent in view ing the buildings and natural features of the park. The visitors were then es corted to the Elks' club room at Fifth and Francis, where all formality was thrown aside and good fellowship pre vailed.' Light refreshments were served and after a rest of two hours, all board ed a special train for Lake Contrary. Fully two hours were spent in viewing the grounds and in launch trips on the lake. "At 6 o'clock dinner at the Lotus club was a feature of the day's pleasure at which toasts were given by Mayor Bor den and other prominent Elks. "At the Antics' grounds, a double dis play of fireworks were criven in the ev ening and u confetti battle royal closed the day's pleasures. "The following is a partial list of the visitor: W. W. Gavitt, John L. Har mon, Roy Penwell, W. H. Ruff. Jesse Leach, W. W. AVebb. Councilman W. F. Weber. Ed Johnston, George Burghart, Sam Barnctt, L. S. Dolman, Walter Burgess, F. B. Getchell, W. F.

H W H I I IH I l HH M' ENOKHOrS SPEED Of 250 Miles Per Hour Will Be Made on Monorail Line. Two hundred and fifty miles an hour is the speed at which we may expect to travel some day if M. Pevic, a French en gineer, succeeds in his enterprises. He has been making experiments at Klbeuf with a new appjication of the monorail system devised by him. The speed attained so far has been only some 13 miles an hour. But the apparatus was a smul model on the scale of one-tenth what the real train will be. In October next M. Devic will exper iment with a model five times as large at Nen -curs. Eventually the engineer con siders that speeds of 300 and 4i kilometers an hour will be easily attainable. That is to pay, Parisians will be spirited down to the Riviera in some three hours, and Lon doners will be hurled up to Edinburgh in less than 10 minutes. The motive power to be employed is naturally electricity. For high speed M. Devic appears to rely chief ly upon two factors, diminuation of weight and a more effectual grip of the driving wheels on the single rail. Electric loco motives could be built very considerably lighter, though of the same power, than the engines of the kind at present in ue. But, according to M. Devic, the enormous weight of the electric machines now run ning is needfu In order that the requisite fiietion on the rails may be obtained. He now claims to have invented a rail which the wheel will grip effectually for traction uurposes, irrespectively of the weight bear ing on it. M- Devic eventually intends try ing a new brake he has also invented, em bodying an application of electro-magnetism. He believes it will prove particularly effectual, as it will indeed, have to be it our trains are to travel at 2ri miles an hour. Paris Cor. New York Times. American and English Universities Our English contemporary, Nature, in a recent article, makes a statistical comparison of the provision for uni versity education in Great Britain and the United States, in which some truly r maskable results are shown. It seems that In the United Kingdom, with a population of 41.000,(K)0, there are 25,500 university or university college stu dents, or, say, five to each 10,000 inhab itants, while in the United States, with 76,000,000 inhabitants, there are 97,100 students, or 12.76 for each 10,000 inhab itants. After commenting on the im portant bearing which these facts must have uoon the struggle for industrial supremacy, our contemporary proceeds to point out that the amount donated by private individuals for higher educa tion in the period from 1S71 to 1901 was isht tmes greater in the United States than that given for similar purposes in Great Britain; while, to say nothing of the income from state land grants, the amount provided by the state for high er education in the United States is six times as much as the government grants in Great Britain. In the other country there are but thirteen universities and twenty univer sity colleges, whereas in the United States there are 170 colleges with an endowment of over $100,000, and forty nine of these have endowments of over $500,000. while three of them have an endowment of over $10,000,000. The total number of professors and instructors in universities and colleges included in the list of the United States commission of education is 17,000, whereas the number of day students in the universities and university colleges of Great Britan is onlv about 20.500. so that there are al most as manv university teachers in the United States as there are universi ty students in Great Britain. Even in Germany.of whose education al advantages we have lately heard so much, there are only 7.87 university stu dents to each 10.000 inhabitants, as com pared with 12.76 in the United States.

r i l lYl 1 a O.N THEKEAUSAKUE'S DECK Striking Scene on the Occasion of "Wales' Visit Portsmouth, July 13. The deck of the Kearsarge presented a striking scene at the time of the Prince of Wales" visit with the men, in white uniforms and with arms linked, lining the tur rests, bridges and rails. The British union jack was flying1 at the main mast and the whole ship was dressed in rain bow fashion. Crossing a red draped gangway the prince, who was accom panied by Ambassador Choate, the Earl of Selborne, first lord of the admiralty, and others, passed through the line of sailors. With Admiral Cotton and Captain Hemphill standing .with their hands at the chapeaus, the drums and bugles sounding four flourishes and in re sponse to a signal from the flagship, all the American vessels hoisted the royal standard at the main and fired a sa lute of twenty-one guns. As the first gun boomed, all the ships in the har bor, including the royal yachts, the Victory and the Chanel fleet, lying off Spithead, dressed ship. After saluting Admiral Cotton and Captain Hemphill, the Prince of Wales shook hands with them, walked aft, being saluted by the marine guard. Ar riving on the quarterdeck the prince saluted the other guests and proceeded below to the quarters of the admiral and captain, which for the occasion were thrown together, the tables being tastefully decorated with flowers. The prince sat on Admiral Cottou's right. The other guests at the same table were Lord Selborne. Ambassador Choate, Ad miral Lord Kerr, Field Marshal Lord Roberts, Admiral Sir Charles Hotham, Captain Sir Archibald Milne, Vice Ad miral Beresford, Rear Admiral Hender son, Captain Lambton, Rear Admiral Sir Edward Chichister, Henry White, secretary of the United States embassy, J. R. Carter, second secretary of the United States embassy. Captain Stock ton, the United States naval attache, and other American and British officers. There were no speeches after the break fast, the company merely rising and toasting the king and the president, the band in the meantime playing national airs. On the PVince of Wales expressing a desire to inspect the ship. Captain Hemphill escorted him along the gun deck of the superstructure and also be low. The prince apparently had al ready some knowledge of the Kear sarge, as he was familiar with her characteristics and made a remark about her especially excellent ventila tion. At the conclusion of the inspec tion, the prince complimented Captain Hemphill on the splendid condition of the battleship. The departure of the Prince of Wales was marked by the same ceremony as on his arrival. He came on deck ac companied by Admiral Cotton, saluted and shook hands with the admiral and the officers of the Kearsarge and the captains of the other American ships. As the prince crossed the gangway, Lieutenant William V. Pratt of the Kearsarge shouted, "Three cheers for his royal highness, the Prince of Wales." The same cry arose simultaneously on the other American ships and the crews of the four vessels heartily hurrahed, the prince, meanwhile, standing in the center of a group of officers with his hand at salute. BEAL'CHAMP IN JAIL. Sheriff Lucas Captured Man Charged With Embezzling $917. Sheriff Lucas arrived home early Sun day morning from La Junta. He was accompanied by John Beauchamp, who is charged with the embezzlement of $917 from the Parkhurst-Davis wholesale grocery company last December. Beauchamp is said to have collected the amount and then forgotten to turn it in to the firm, preferring to seek a change of scenery. Sheriff Lticas locat ed Beauchamp several days ago, but as the intended victim was not under arrest, took particular pains to cover up his tracks in going west so that his in tentions might not beat him to the quarry. He secured a requisition List Thursday and started Friday night for the west. Beauchamp was found in the employ of a grocery firm in La Junta.

RAILROAD THIEF Cleaned Out a Sleeping Car and Pas sengers Went Home Naked. Among the passengers by the Moscow-Kursk express, which started from the latter city one Monday, was Ivan Petrovitch Goloteloff, a youth, who was hastening to his wedding. He had been kept back in Kursk longer than he and his bride-elect had anticipated, and now he had arranged his departure from Kursk bo as to arrive In Moscow just in the nick of time for the marriage ceremony at which he was to play the principal part. The sleeping cars are comfortable on that line, and the pas sengers duly retired to rest at It o'clock, most of them undressing as if they were at home, but a few dozing in their clothes, In view of accidents, which are not infrequent occurrences in that part of Muscovy. The travelers must, how ever, have all had very easy con sciences, for they slept profoundly. When they arose refreshed from their couches next morning, raised the blinds and set about donning their garments they were horrified to note that they had. like many a well-dressed lady, "nothing to put on." Every screed of clothing had disappeared except a soli tary pair of braces, which had no fur ther functions to perform. Garmented in light and ruffled in temper they cre ated what the Russian papers term a hullabaloo in the train, summoning the conductors, rating the sleeping car offi cials and holding noisy councils of war in undress. As a result of the hasty inquiries the fact was elicited that a suspicious looking lady had been seen to enter the train during the night with no visible luggage and to leave it later on with two or three bulky bundles, which w ere carried out for her by a por ter. Then the unfortunate passengers had togo back to their beds. some having they could get together so that one re spectable foreign divine slunk away with a martial cloak hanging loosely around him. a lawyer was attired in a policeman's gray overall and others had to be covered with coarse blankets like mere redskins, and then set down in herm"tfrally sealed carriages to screen them from the public gaze. Ivan Petro vitch Goloteloff was among the latter, and as he could not well go to the church he drove straight to his parents' dwelling. The marriage, of course, was put off. some say for a time, others say sine die. London Cor. New York Times. SLOT MACHINES Have Replaced Shops in England and Supply Almost Everything. London is having a bad attack of slot machine fever. Its slot machines have multiplied from the original few which dispensed chocolate, stamps and ciga rettes to a legion which sell every thing, act as postoffices and advertis ing agencies and generally try to sup ply all human wants. The Increase in the number and types has led Mr. Labouchere to Inquire "Is the shopkeeper played out?" He ex presses the belief that shaving, hair cutting, shoecleaning and art photog raphy by slot machines must all come in t:ne.

There is one huge machine called the Automatic Supply store, which aims to supply most human wants. It delivers pastry, small groceries, candy, tooth brushes, powder, drugs, tobacco, sta tionery, collars and cuffs, neckties, socks, soap, towels and a few oth-;r things. Another machine supplies umbrellas. You put two shillings (50 cents) in suc cession in the slot, press a spring, and get a serviceable and fairly good look ing protector from the rain. But the most Interesting of the ma chines put up so far is the posts rest ante. This is how it works: You have an appointment, say, with John Jones at Paddington station at 5 o'clock. You find that you cannot keep it, ana it is too late to apprise Jones of the fact by telegraphing to his lTome j or office. Y'ou can't send a messenger, for he probably wouldn't find the right Jones. So you dispatch a telegram addressed "John Jones, Automatics, Paddlngton." The telegraph messenger delivers it to the machine, which exposes the address behind the glass. Jones, finding that you don't appear at the proper time, looks in the machine and sees the tele gram. He gets it by putting a penny in the slot. The disadvantage is, of course, that anybody can get anybody else's mes sage by putting In his penny. But the British public seems willing to take a chance of that. A new machine is about to be launch ed now which goes even further than this. It is en advertising automaton. f you want rooms, a servant or a situation you are to advertise the fact in the machine for a penny. You write out your advertisement, put It In with your penny, and the machine displays it in your own writing. Whether this will be a success is doubtful; but It Is to be tried. After that the slot-machine news stand and the automatic shoe shiner are expected to come along very soon New York Sun. Vacation.

The eastern newspapers printed a story last Saturday jtljat Eugene Ware's son had headed a party of university students who had gone out to work in the wheat fields at 3 per day. At tne time the story was printed. Eugene Ware. Jr.. was at the Colonial hotel. Washington. D. C, acting as best man at a wedding. The -baseball game, played Saturday afternoon on the Lowman Hill grounds, between teams from the ticket and freight auditing departments of the Santa Fe, resulted in a score of 5 to 9 In favor of the former. Considering the fact that the Freight Auditors have been doing a good deal of boasting of late and also that tney snowea up on the ball grounds in brand new ball suits, Saturday's victory meant a great deal to the Ticket Auditors. They now intend to challenge all other Santa Fe teams in the city. THE FUN OF IT. How a Newspaper Paragrapher Views Kansas Harvest Situation. The following is from Fred Collier's column In the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "We should like to write to the gen eral passenger agents of the railroads whose lines run through Kansas and ask if it is perfectly safe to buy tick ets over their routes until the wheal harvest is ended. We have gathered the impression somewhere that pas senger trains are about to be mobbed by the farmers, pitchforks in hand, and all able-bodied male travelers marched off to the wheat fields and made to toil under the burning sun and in the hot, Texas-born zephyrs until the har vest is safely garnered in. Persons starting out westward from St. Louis are to be requisitioned, 'seized,' as soon as they reach the wheat belt. In th same manner that coal is seized by the railroads in times of scarcity. "It is well known that this impressed labor will be highly paid, the latest rates, we understand, being J18 a day, fried chicken at every meal, a hair mattress and an electric fan in your bedroom. Rival farmers are now hiring brass bands to accompany the harves ters and make their rounds of the fields more joyous. The influx of college pro fessors and young millionaires from the east continues to increase and many of the country stations are blockaded with the automobile of eastern fashionables, who are shipping their vehicles west to enjoy a little run up and down the sun flower bordered lanes after the day's toil among the golden grain is ended." BALTIMORE Til EI 11 PORT. Gould Lines to Be Combined Into One Homogeneous System. Pittsburg, Pa., July 13. George J. Gould, who, with a party of Wabash and Missouri Pacific officials, spent the last 36 hours Inspecting the Wabash ex tension to this city, in an interview said: "It Is our purpose to weld the Wra bash roads into one grand system be fore long that will reach from Ogden, Utah, and El Paso at the Mexican bor der on the west through Kansas City, St. Ixiuis, Pittsburg to Baltimore. "We intend to make the latter city our seaport on the Atlantic. It is a magnif icent one, but has been neglected. We propose to develop and make it a great port. We do not intend to go to New York. There is more eclat in a trunk line into the metropolis, of course, but It is too expensive as a freight export ing terminal. Baltimore is the best port on the Atlantic for the exporting of such commodities as will make up our tonnage coal, grain and packing house products." Quit Railroad for Harvest Field. Salina, July 13.

Wichita, Kan., July 13. Saturday the large force of graders employed on the southern end of the Orient was divided and a part of them were transferred to Chase county, where they will begin grading towards Emporia. It has been the prevalent opinion that the Orient would use the tracks of the Missouri Pacific between Wichita and Kansas City, but it appears that the promoters are true to their word and will use their own line into Kansas City. The force which was moved to Chase county is in charge of Ludgerting Bros, and will begin grading near Matfield Green and work towards Emporia. Ori ent officials state that the line has been surveyed to the corporate limits of Kan sas City and that now the work is started between Wichita and Kansas City it will be pushed with all possible speed. Ex-Treasurer Grimes states that the Orient will be finished through Em poria before fall. O. G. Burrows, commercial agent cf the Orient, left yesterday for the scene of operation in Oklahoma. The line has been completed across the Cimarron riv er and track is laid to a point within 1 miles of Fairview. The grading is all completed and the construction com pany is so confident that it will be fin ished to Fairview by the 20th that the government has ordered mail service es tablished between Fairview and Wich ita on that date. It will be impossible to construct a depot in the intervening time and a large box car will be used for the present. The work on that line has not been delayed by the harvest as it has on this end. A great many Mexi cans are employed on the souffcern end of the line and they prefer railroading to harvesting. Between Milton and Wichita the work is at a standstill but will be recommended as soon as harvest is over and men can be secured. The grading Is finished to within ten miles or tnis city and it will take but a short time to run it into Wichita. A KEYN0TE speech. One Is Being Prepared by Pres ident for Labor Day. Oyster Bay. N. Y., July 13. President Roosevelt will make his visit to the New York state fair at Syracuse on Labor day, the occasion of a highly important address. He intends it shall be one of the most vital utterances of his administration. What will be the dominant theme is not announced, but the foreign policy of the government and trusts will be given attention. The speech will sound an administration key note much the same as did President Mc Kinley in the Buffalo address just before he was assassinated. From now on until September President Roosevelt will give much time to the preparation of this ad dress, which he has already outlined.

The new depot which the Santa Fe will give them will be one of the best in the west." SPEECH FR0&1 BAILEY. Governor to Be Present at Atch ison Globe's Celebration. Atchison, July 13.

G TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING JULY 13, 190.1. VILL BESAVED. One North Kansas Avenue build ing to lie Hazed. All Other Business Structures Will Be Repaired. LOSS SOT SO GREAT. First Estimate of Damage by Flood Too High. Strengthening Hill Make Halls Solid and Safe. With hut one exception every build ing on North Kansas avenue damaged by the flood will be saved. The ex ception is the building at 96, near the fire station, which has been tottering ainc-e the water went down. It will have to be completely dismantled. It was old and poorly constructed, so that Its collapse U not surprising and Us loss will not be a serious one. Fire Marshal Wllmarth. who has k?pt himself constantly informed about the condition of buildings on the North side, said this morning: "We'll save nearly every building on North Kansas avenue that v,e at Hist thought would have to be pulled down. That is, the buildings will not have to be demol ished entirely. Work is in progress ir. underpinning them where they have settled and strengthening the Avails that show signs of weakness. In many in stances a part of the walls will have to be removed and replaced but the larger portion of every building that was weakened by the water can and will be svmi. 'Among the buildings that were damaged none seemed more in dange of momentary collapse than the double Barrett building at 1002 and 1004 North Kansas avenue. On account of the fall ing of the inner wail the second lloor fell in, and it looked as tnough tne rest of the building would go with it. But we find the outer walls, front and back, in very good shape; they will stand all right. The Jones building at 610 will be as good as ever after a thorough underpinning and work on the walls'. A pa 1 1 of the south and from walls of the three-story building at X3X North Kansas avenue, owned by Mr. letter, of Chiiigo. will have to be re built, but the liiggi st part of the build ing will be all right. The buildings oc cupied by the Henry and the Fouehv stores, Jonathan Thomas' building or cupied by Aaron Sheetz, ear be re paired and be made as goixl as ever.

Asked for Salary He Earned Prior to Majority. Foster Parents Had Right to Keep It. Legal Judge Hazen rendered a final decision today in the suit brought by William Sells, circus owner and resident of To peka, against P. I. Bonebrake, executor of the estate of Allan Sells and Sarah Ann Sells. The decision was that, Wil liam Sells could not recover $78,500 from the Sells estate. WILLIAM SELLS. The plaintiff in the action had agreed to stand by Judge Hazen's decision as final, therefore he took particular pains vith the case, and when he announced his decision this morning gave refer ences from about a dozen volumes of legal decisions which conformed ex actly with his own idea of the case Judge JIazen held that Willie Sells had been raised as a son of Allen Sells ana Sarah Ann Sells, and they therefore had a right to take his earnings prior to his majority. He also said that the suit was in the form of a suit for the recovery of money and property held mediately after the flood that almost me oeinaar.t estate, ana had passed all of the large buildings on North tne statute of limitations, Willie Sells Kansas avenue had been so weakened j having reached his majority in 18K6 that thev would h.-.ve to bo torn com- and tailed to file suit until 1901. in plrtely down fer safety. That impres-i r" lusmn, after giving a verdict for slon was quite wrong. Many buildings I the defendant. Judge Hazen said ir. sustained damage from the settling of 'closing: "It also looks strange to this walls and in many cases considerable ourt that if all his money and earn- exnense will he neeessni v to make them I lnRs wpre taken trom him before hi: habitable. But with the one exception of the building at !-6 North Kansas avenue the North side business houses can all be put back in condition for use after their walls have been properly strengthened.

His th-st intention was to arrest thm as vagrants, hut finally he direet ed'them to a hot"l. They walked (luring the hottest day of the season and had a severe experience. Mr. Koot said: "We're doing this tramp for our health, for fun, and to fee how great the state of New York is. It may seem to some like a fool 'stunt.' but I wouldn't have missed the experi ence for anything. It has been our bid luck, though, to have struck the hottest week in the year. When we started from Clinton last KridJy we laid a ruler on the map and drew a line to the big city that was to be our route. Perhaps it would have been wiser to study the road maps and pick out our route more care fully, for wfe climbed many mountains and many a hill which we found after wards we might have avoided. Still we have seen the country and don't mind the extra steps w'e may have taken. "We set out to average twenty miles a day and we have done more than that. Our hardest tramp was from Guilford to Walton, thirty-three miles. We were nearly done up when we reached the prettiest village in the Ijelaware valley. I have been impressed during our tramp by the kindliness of the people whom we met. It was evident the farmers and their families thought we needed guardians, but we never asked a favor of them they did not cheerfully crant.'" Yowng Koot and his companion left here this afternoon, expecting to cover about half the distance between here and New York today. As they left town Mr. Root said: "As soon as I strike the limits of New York I'll get into a cab and 'lave a rest. Then I'll have a bath, get into some decent clothes, and hie myself Somewhere for a square meal." PIN IN BAIJY'S THUOAT. of Journey of 400 Miles at a Cost $1,000 to Remove It Paul Smith's. N. Y July 13. The 7 months' old boy of Mrs. Thompson, wife of Lewis S. Thompson of Red Bank, N. J., who has been at Cooper camp on upper St. Regis lake, swallowed a safe ty pin yesterday morning and the pin unclasped in the child's throat in such a manner as to resist the attempts of its mother and the nurse to remove it, although they could see it. Local doc tors who were called in advised that the baby be taken to New York. A special train was engaged and the party reach ed New Y'ork about 11 o'clock. They proceeded at once to the New York hos pital, where Dr. Winters wis awaiting their arrival. It took Dr. Winters only about two minutes to remove the pin, which had necessitated a journey of about 400 miles. It Is said that Mrs. Thompson paid the station agent at Paul Smith's $1,000 for the train. Attention, G. A. R. The meeting of committees of C3.

I until after the death of Mrs. Sells, says foundling and that his mother's name was Markley. He also tells how he be came famous as a hareback rider when still a small boy w ith his foster father's I circus; airo now nis popularity as an j T I infant prodigy became such that he T i made vast sums of money selling his J own photographs. At the same time he controlled the lemonade and peanut I monopoly of the circus, and turned all the money he made over to his (he sup posed) mother, Mrs. Sells. I'p to the time of his majority, he says in the petition, he continued to turn all his earnings into the coffers of the Sells family. His education was neglected be cause he was so valuable as a circus feature, and the secret of his parentage was zealously hidden from him. Short ly after his majority he presented Mrs. Sells with the diamonds in controversy, but would not have done so had lie known at the time that she was not his own mother. He claimed the amount, $7S.7,r.O from the estate, in which he had failed to share by the will either of Mrs. Sarah Ann Sells or Allan Sells, as money due him for services while still a minor. He charges Mrs. Sells, deceased, with wilfully defrauding him by receiv ing money and jewels from him which were given under the impression that she was his mother, which impression was not dispelled until Mrs. Sells died, April 2"i. 1901. He also claims that he has pscertained that when he was taken to raise by the Sells familv. his own lawful mother delivered with him $1,500 I lu oe spent in nis education, which was never done. He says that he has been informed and has reason to believe that this same $1,500 was invested by Allan Sells in the first Sells circus, the foun dation of what was later the Sells Brothers circus of national f-ime. The petition stated that from $20 to $10 a day were-Tnade from the sale of his photograph? during his childhood and that until he was 21 years of age Mr. and Mrs. Sells took all he made, asserting the right to it. claiming that Mrs. Sells was his mother and that from the beginning of his tutelage as a cir cus performer, which, as aforesaid, be gun in his most tender infancy and at a time when he should have been gently and tenderly cared for, this plaintiff was subjected at all times, to the hard est and most vigorous usage by those placed in charge to teach him this busi ness and at no time was any remission of such work and effort permitted. This training from the earliest time down to whn he had acquired facility In his business, was accompanied by severe punishment for lapses and faults In the performance of his trainers. He was compelled to account to the said Sarah Ann Sells to the last cent for the money, hereinbefore referred to. and if discover ed retaining an insignificant amount for childish pleasure, was visited with se vere physical punishment." The petition said: "And said plaintiff further alleges that during the month of March. IRM, Allen Sells departed this life and by will bequeathed his entire estate to his widow with the belief on his prt that she would recogrlze this plaintiff as her sole heir, all of which the said Sarah Ann Sells promised and agreed with the said Allen Sells should be done." price CARPETS M price Lidderdale and Lanesboro are bright new towns on the Chicago Oreat West ern railwav.

Berlin, a prominent politician and real estate dealer, was found dead in his office early today, having been asphyx iated by gas from an open fixture. It is believed the wind blew the gas out while Mr. Berlin was asleep. He has been a member of the state legislature, .Missouri river commissioner and held a number of minor offices. He was a Republican in politics. STUDYING PHILIPPINES. A Grammar of Tagalog Prepared by a Johns Hopkins Professor. For two years past Dr. F. R. Blake has been conducting courses in the Tagalog and Visayan languages at Johns Hopkins university. Tagalog is spoken by most of the inhabitants of the northern part o the Philippines and is the language of the ed ucated and more intelligent classes. Visa yan prevails very largely In the great cen tral group of the archipelago. Dr. Blake has now prepared a practical grammar of the Tagalog tongue and there is no doubt it will be most helpful to all Americans In the Philippines, Practically all the works on the Philippine language and dialects are in Spanish or German. At last wf. have a practical Tagalog annual in Eng lish. If we keep on studying the languages and the customs of the natives of our new possessions we will be doing just what the British did during the rise and expansion of their dominion in India. For more than 40 years the British government has en couraged linguistic and ethnological re search in India as much as possible. By this means the work of acquiring a more intimate knowledge of the peoples of Iudia was facilitated, and it was worth all it cost, many times over. In 1&00 the American Oriental society urged upon congress the importance of extending the work of the bureau of Amer ican ethnology to the Philippine Islands for the study of the languages and cus toms of the native populations and the suing of simple vocabularies and othur works which would bo of use to officers of the army and navy and the civil ser lee in those islands. Congress has not yet seen tit to act upon this suggestion, though its practical importance has been urged not only by orientalists, but also by some of our foremost representatives in the Philip pines. If the work which the-bureau of ethnology has done among our Indian tribes had been carried out a half century ago we should have understood the aborig ines better and doubtless would have been wiser in our dealings with them. The white race has succeeded best in its inter course with other races when all the par ties concerned have come to know each other well. It is an old story that the great mutiny of 157 in British India might have been averted if it had not been that the car tridges for the British rifles then in use were greased with suet and lard. The Hindu Sepoys of course had a great preju dice against both these articles, while the lard was an abomination in the eyes of the Mohammedan soldiers. The military order was issued and the Sepoy and Mohamme dan soldiers were told that they must obey it. Probably if the British had been famil iar at that time with native prejudices they would have taken care not to offend needlessly the sensibilities of the native troops, and the trouble might have been averted. The publication of the Tagalog manual in Kngllsh will have the same usefulness among our countrymen ln the Philippines as the "Practical Arabic Grammar," com piled years ago by Major Green of the Royal Engineers for the special purpose of meeting the requirements of British officers in Kgypt. has had elsewhere. The work was in such demand that 150 copies of the first edition were issued sheet by sheet to the officers as they came from the press. The Englishmen couldn't wait for bound copies. The first edition was ex hausted in nine months. We are teaching English in the publio schools of Manila, but it will be years be fore the great mass even of the better edu cated people can talk English. At present we need nothing more to facilitate our ef forts to develop the Filipinos and their country than the ability to talk with them in their principal languages and make the mutual acquaintanceships and friendships which such knowledge would promote.

TOPEKA STATE J OURAL MONDAY EV ENING. JULY 1 3, 1 903. SITE DEDICATED. Opening of Senator Burton's City of Jerusalem. Ceremonies Held on St. Louis Exposition Grounds. OFFENDED ROOSEVELT. President Said to Be Displeased With Kansas Senator. Personal Letter Used to Ad yertise the Scheme. St. Louis, July 13. Three thousand persons attended the dedication of the Jerusalem Bite Saturday at the World's fair grounds. The ceremonies took place in the bottom of a tree-clad vale, whose sides were pulsating with the crowd. A very dramatic tinge was given to the event by the Oriental pro gramme under the direction of Madame L.ydia Von Finkelstein Mountford. A trained chorus of 150 voices, under the leadership of Alfred Kobyn, sang "The Holy City." Miss Eugenia Getner rleased with her rendition of "Sing, O Jerusalem." Then succeeded what was to the crowds on the hillsides the most Intorcotlnff r;)rt nf the dedication, the native ceremonials, in which about 60 persons in Palest! nic garb took part. Mme. Mountford opened this part of thg programme with an explanatorj address. The offering of the incense was done by Father Matthew N'oeml, pastor of the Oriental Christian church. The laying of the foundation stone and the planting of the living tree was followed by native singers and players on stringed instruments of strange type. The strewing of rice and salt, and the distribution of unleavened bread and alt among the spectators served as a memento of the occasion. Shouts and Bongs of Zion preceded selections from Isaiah in Hebjew, read by orthodox Jews, assisted by a Hebrew choir. The dramatic feature of the whole dedication was the rendition of the prayer of Jacob, "Mlnchi," by twelve venerable Israelites, representative of the twelve tribes of Israel. The reading of the law from the Holy Scroll, an address by Kabbi Adolph Xeuman and a hallelujah chorus in Hebrew by the Hebrew choir and congregation closed the Oriental ceremonies. United States Senator Burton, presi dent of the Jerusalem Exhibit com pany, made an address. The Kev. C. C. Woods, Dr. James V. Lee. the Kev. W. B. Palmore and President Francis of the exposition also addressed the throng. A tally-ho coach with 25 con cessionaries of the Pike attended the dedication. The presence of camels, caparisoned donkeys and a Palestine sheen added to the rich color of the rostrum carpeted in Oriental mats and furnished with strange vessels of wor ship. SACRIFICE WAS MADE. By far the most interesting part of the day's exercises were the elaborate ceremonies of laying the" corner stone v of the walls according to the Oriental rite.-' Jn tbis SO natives of the Holy City In their native costumes, and the three faiths, Jewish, Mohammedan and Christian, all participated in the cere mo l) v. While a priest of the Greek church Intoned a chant before the altar slaves and attendants of Imam, Rayis il Bal adee, seized the sacrificial lamb that was tethered by the site of the founda tion stone, and brought it before the nit fir, n here it was blessed, and in lieu of its actual sacrifice was laid on the corner tona. Then the actual laying of the stone by the wise master builder and his as sistant, the stone cutters, masons, mix ers of mortar, laborers and carriers of vator proceeded, while the priests went among the people scattering salt and brea4. After the laying of the stone followed Its consecration with salt and incense, and while a company of the musicians equatted cross-legged about the stone playing their instruments and stinging a hymn of rejoicing the multitude of Orientals, with the Mohammedan pasha, cadi, mufti, katib scribe and In terpreter, the guards and the watch men, the young men and maidens, the women and the children, all rose and nfter the manner of Biblical times "shouted with a great shout." The interesting ceremony was con cluded by an address in Arabic to the masons from the master builder, in his turban and robes of green silk bearing the square of his office; the planting of the tree of life beside the foundation stone, the sinking of a chorus from the saying of the Prophet Isaiah by the choir of the Sanhedrln and the reading of the laws from the stone tablets of the ark of the covenant, which was sheltered in the broldered tent from Jerusalem which had been erected near bv. The opening address that preceded the ceremonial was delivered by Senator Burton, who spoke ns follows: SENATOR BURTON'S ORATION. "Ladies and Gentlemen: The dedica tion of an exhibit such as it is proposed to erect upon this site is an event of i. more than passing interest. It Is an -""i" mo iiiniory or great ex hibitkm. It is an event which will attract the attention of all Christendom "No other city contains so much of Interest to the civilized world as the city of Jerusalem, whose towers and turrets are to be reproduced almost If not quite, in their exact proportion, on this spot. Through the enterprise of the gentlemen having this exhibit in charse the thousands yea. the tens of thous ands, even the hundreds of thousands of visitors to this great Louisiana Pur chase exposition, will be enabled to see the Ftret-ts, buildings, pools and holy places trod by the feet of Jesus Christ and his apostles. They will be able to visit that same Garden of Gethsemarte, so well known to every Bible reader, and they will be able to see,' as It were, the walls of that great city built by that most ancient of races the children of Israel. "The construction of this replica of the Holy City Is likewise a gigantic undertaking. In some respects it is even more gigantic than the erection of these great buildings which rise above-us on every hand. It is gigantic in its con ception. It will be gigantic in its execu tion. It will attract the attention of the civilized world as will no other fea ture of this great exposition. It will be not only of the greatest interest to every man. woman and child in Chris tendom, but it will also teach such a lesson and furnish such an illustration of the customs, habits and actions of the dwellers in the Holy City as could not be le.irned by many weeks' visit to Jer usalem. "Many visitors to Jerusalem in fact, it is claimed by those who know, the pre ponderating majority or visitors to Jer usalemget only a superficial acquaint ance with the city, and fail to hve im pressed upon their minds the signifi cance of the many things they see. A view of the most interesting places is denied then. This is due to several rea sons: The average tourist has but a limited time to spend in Jerusalem, and, as a rule, depends upon an ignoraut dragoman or guide for information who but imperfectly understands the lang uage of the visitor, and, even when he is disposed to do so, is not fitted by nature, education or religious training to comprehend the full significance of the scenes which to him have grown ordinary by constant contact. "There are many Scriptural passages the full significance of which has never dawned upon even the close Bible stu dents until they have become conver sant with the architecture, topography, products and other features of the Holy Land, and the manners and habits of the people residing there. It is a re markable fact that Palestine has changed but little since the days of Christ and in some respects but little if any since the days of Abraham. This will be vividly impressed upon the visitor to the Jerusalem exhibit by see ing the natives among native surround ings the Jewish rabbi conducting cere monials of his religion in a synagogue which will be a reproduction of the one In which he conducts the worship in Jerusalem. Moslem priests, in their mosques, brought from Jerusalem, will be seen conducting the actual ceremony with their own people in attendance, and on great feasts and festival days, conducting with all their grandeur and impressiveness, the ceremonials which are so prominent a feature in the ob servance of these occasions. "The visitor will not only be an on looker, as he Is in the city of Jeru salem Itself, with only a vague con ception of what it all means, but it will be thoroughly explained to him. en abling him to grasp its full significance in every respect. It will be, as I have said, a great lesson to every visitor. "On these and on many other ac counts, therefore, I say the dedication of this exhibit is of more than ordinary interest and absolutely unique in all its characteristics. It is in keeping with the great exposition of which it will be a part. As the ceremonies here to day have been vastly different from the ceremonies attendant upon the dedica tion of any other exhibit, so will the ex hibit Itself be different from any other display upon these beautiful grounds. It la unnecessary to speak of the vast sum of money it will cost to create this exhibit, and still It Is worthy of note that any body of men should be will ing to fpend so much as $1,500,000 upon one entertainment feature. In this, too, the exhibit will be most unique. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, trusting that I may meet you all again in the mosque of Omar or by the pool of Siloam in this new Jerusalem, I will say au revoir until next summer." DR. PALMORE'S REMARKS. Rev. Dr. Palmore. who followed Sen ator Burton, delivered the following ad dress. "The most phenomenal city in the world has endured twentv-seven slos-es and has been destroyed seven times. Around its walls has been more blood shed and desperate fighting than any other point on the globe. Nevertheless, its original name was Salem, which means peace. After its long and des perate defense by the Jebusites it was called Jebu-Salem. The euphemistic trena or tne unman tongue and ear has changed the "b" into "r" and it is now universally called Jerusalem. "After two of its mot desperate sieges and total destructions, Nebuchad nezzar and Titus took the surviving Jews to the shores of the Tigris and Tiber, where they, refusing to be com forted, hung their harps on the willows and wept by the waters of their exile. They have been cruelly persecuted by nearly all succeeding ages and nations and scattered over the whole world but still retain their identity, like a eulf stream flowing on through the cold and unsympathetic ocean of humanity. About 4,000 years ago Abraham stood by an altar of wood resting on a crude rock at the apex of Mount Moriah.when his hand, holding the sacrificial knife above the heart and life of his son, Isaac, was suddenly stayed by the voice of an angel, sent from God. "One thousand years later Solomon, with $108,000,000 in gold and $16,000,000 in silver, aided by Hiram, king of Tyre, and Hiram Abif, was constructing around this same rugged rock the finest temple the world had ever seen, for the dwelling place of Jehovah. "The most interesting feature of a World's fair Is not the handiwork of all nations, but the real life, the people themselves. Today as In the day of Pentacost, no city in the world can show In such a focalized way so many varie ties of the human race. We will soon start on a trip to Jerusalem to aid in the selection of such varieties of human and animal life, weavers, embroider ers, smiths, craftsmen, shepherds and handiwork as will best exemplify the actual and real life of the city as It is today." VIOLATED A CONFIDENCE. Claimed That Senator Burton Offend ed President Roosevelt. William Allen White's paper, the Em poria Gazette, of Saturday contained the following under a Topeka date line: "Kansas politicians who are anywhere near the inside of things now know definitely and certain that Charles Blood Smith is no longer a possibility as a candidate for the place on the Kansas federal bench to be made vacant by Judge W. C. Hook. A story has leaked out from various sources, partly from Senator Burton, party from D. W. Mul vane, partly from W. P. Hackney and partly from a Kansas man who has a friend in the magazine publishing busi ness in the east. None of the story comes from President Roosevelt. This is the story: "A few weeks ago D. W. Mulvane went to Washington to press the claims of Blood Smith as a candidate to suc ceed Judge Hook. He told the president that as Senator Long and Mr. Leland and Governor Bailey had been recognls ed In the appointment of Judge Hook to the circuit judgeship it is only fair that Senator Burton and Mulvane and that wing of the party should be recog nized In the appointment of Hook's suc cessor. Otherwise Mulvane represented it would be aprarent to the people of Kansas thrt the president favored the Leland faction asagainst theBurton fac tion. Mulvane didn't get on well in his interview with the president. He got no encouragement. It Is possible that the president had heard that Smith is the railroad candidate for the Judge ship and was not prepared to encourage him. Also perhaps the president was sticking to his original declaration, made a year ago and not violated since, not to have anything to do with Burton except in a perfunctory way. Burton since he forged Long's name to a tele gram to the president at the Wichita convention in regard to an appointment, has been outcast from the White House, and has received no favors and no sort of political recognition. "This spring Burton called at the White House and told the president that he (Burton) was Interested in a high class Christian exhibit at St. Louis to be an exact reproduction of the City of Jerusalem. He represented to the presi dent that the foheme would enable many religious people to see Jerusalem, who could not afford the trip and that it would give thousands a stimulation to Bible study who might otherwise not have It. The president was enthusias tic about the matter and before he knew what he had done the president had written Burton a personal letter speak ing highly of the idea. Whereupon the oily Mr. Burton takes the letter which was a personal and private one, puts It in the center of a big advertisement of the stock of the Jerusalem scheme, and sends it to a magazine making the president by the wording of the adver tisement, advise people to buy stock in Burton's scheme. The magazine to which it was sent is a thoroughly rep utable one, and seeing an alleged letter from the president booming a stock scheme, before printing the advertise ment wrote to the president to learn if it was genuine. He got that letter the day Mulvane was to call the second time to urge Smith's appointment as the Burton candidate. Roosevelt was in a full-blooded rage. His language was cracking the paint on the White House, and the cool placid poker-faced young Mulvane ran into something that seem ed like a cross between a cyclone and a volcano. He was told that for the last time the president was done with Burton, that Burton had betrayed his confidence, had attemped to make the president boom stock which he knew nothing about and he said that when it came to considering Burton and his friends on any thing like terms of equality with other Republicans In Kansas it was out of the question. More than that he demanded the letter which Burton had obtained, and Mulvane didn't get to the Smith matter at ail. Mulvane wired the facts to Burton, got the letter back and the president sum mons Senator Long to a conference. It comes to the Gazette from the highest possible authority, outside the White House that the president told his friends that from now on Burton would be considered as he had been for the past year a Democratic senator as far as patronage Is concerned and that the president requested Mr. Long to get as many of the Kansas congressmen as possible united on a candidate to suc ceed Hook, and the appointment will be made. "W. P. Hackney, who has been play ing pretty close to Burton, said that Burton had said if this thing kept get ting worse, he (Burton) would get pull enough with the administration to beat any man he might possibly endorse. Burton had just heard from Mulvane about the letter and the dumping of Smith. Later after returning from St. Louis Burton told his friends that he would not be surprised to learn that he had been indicted by Folk of St. Louis In connection with the Arnold get-rich-quick schemes. There is also a rumor current that he might be indicted in connection with the postal scandals by Charles Bonapart, the attorney recently appointed by the president to probe matters. Burton appeared before the department as an attorney for the swindlers. A United States senator is forbidden by the federal statutes from practicing before any department. Lu cius Llttauer, a New York congressman, is being hauled over the coals for vio lating the federal statutes against a congressman selling goods to the gov ernment and Senator Burton In the wave of reform that Is sweeping over Washington may get caught also." THE LETTER IN QUESTION. The following is a copy of the letter President Roosevelt wrote to Senator Burton: White House, Washington, Jan. 16, 1903. My Dear Sir: I have received through you a communication from a number of bankers of St. Louis on be half of the project to reproduce at the coming World's fair the City of Jeru salem, this communuication, reading as follows: "The undersigned, bankers of St. Louis, consider the projected reproduc tion of the City of Jerusalem, by the Jerusalem Exhibit company, one of the grandest and most interesting and com mendable features connected with the World's fair. The management is in the hands of reliable and competent busi ness men, assisted by an advisory board consisting of pastors of the churches of every denomination in the city Jews, Catholics, Protestants and we cheer fully recommend the scheme to the favorable consideration of those desiring to invest in such an enterprise." Tou express your great interest In the projected movement, and feel that on many accounts such a movement is eminently wise and will not only do material good but will add to the at tractiveness of the World's fair. You further inform me that this movement is indorsed by the several ministers of St. Louis, without regard to sect, including the Catholics and Protestants, and in addition the He brew rabbis; as also the representatives of the Young Men's Christian associa tion and all similar organizations the purpose being through this movement to secure prominence to the religious side of the world's development in con nection with this World's fair. Of course such a purpose has my most hearty approval, and through you I extend my most cordial good wishes to the clergymen and business men of St. Louis who are engaged in trying to bring this movement to a successful conclusion. Sincerely yours Theodore Roosevelt. SENATOR BURTON'S STATEMENT. Senator Burton was seen at the South ern hotel shortly before his departure from the city. He appeared greatly pleased with the success attending the dedication exercises of the Jerusalem exhibit. Asked about the report that President Roosevelt was displeased with him be cause of his having used a personal let ter to forward the interests of the ex hibit, he said he knew nothing of it, and that if such a report was current it had doubtless been circulated by his po litical enemies. "I do not believe." said Senator Bur ton, "that Mr. Roosevelt gave out that he was displeased with me on account of a letter relating to the Jerusalem ex hibit or anything else. I am now on the best of terms with the president, and even were I not. I don't believe he would take issue with a United States senator about a matter of such small consequence." Senator Burton was told that Presi dent Roosevelt was quoted as having said his displeasure with him was so great that he would not be considered when it came to the distribution of fed eral patronage in Kansas. Mr. Burton laughed at the idea and said he was quite sure the president had been misquoted. "It is a notable fact," he said, "that since becoming senator I have kept away from patronage matters. My time has been devoted to affairs of state and matters of government. For this reason I have many enemies in Kansas, who became angry with me because I did not interest myself in securing them Jobs. I am sure that the entire story was gotten up for political purposes." CAPT. MILLS SICK. Mayor of Eskridge Is Not Expected to Live. Captain W. H. Mills, mayor of Esk ridge, who is seriously sick in Topeka at 715 West sixth avenue.is expected to live but a few days. On Saturday Mr. Mills requested that a message be sent to his friends at Esk ridge and the evening train brought a number of his friends from there, Mr. Mills was glad to see them and talked of business matters and personal busi ness. Mr. Mills realizes that he may live but a few days. Injured by a Train. Concordia, Kan., July 13. Mrs. William McCall and her 6-year-old daughter were run down by a rorthbound Santa Fe train Sunday while crossing the road west of the town. The engine struck the horses, broke the bugv to splinters and severely in jured Mrs. McCail. The girl escaped with out injury RETURfJJO WORK. Twenty Thousand Skilled Me chanics in Building Trades Accept Terms of the Association of Employers. WILL BE 30,000 MORE. That Many Have Already Toted Fayorably on Plan. Joint Board of Arbitration and No Walking Delegates. New York, July 13. Some twenty thousand killed mechanics in the build ing trades returned to work today un der the modified plans of the employers' association. The number will be in creased to 50,000 by Wednesday, unions with that membership having voted to accept the terms of the employers, one of the effects of which is to do away with walking delegates and refer all disputes to a Joint board of arbitration. With the mechanics a large number of laborers returned to work and opera tions were resumea" by material supply men. MULLINS RECAPTURED. Taken on Junction City Town site by Private Citizen. Junction City, Kan., July 13. Gilbert Mullins, the leader of the mutiny in the federal piison at Leavenworth in Octo ber, iy(;l, the alleged murderer of Guard Waldrupe, of the prison, and the leader of the prisoners who assaulted Sheriff Peeso here and effected their escape, was captured here in town Sunday af ternoon about 3 o'clock by a citizen. L. P. Folck. When United States Marshal Mackey arrived here, he placed the posses and the soldiers at short inter- vals across the country through which Mullins would: nave to pass were he to leave the timber in which he was hid ing. This movement placed Mullins be tween the posses and the river. Mullins says he saw the citizens and soldiers going out to head him off. He knew that it was impossible for him to get by the guards without being seen and he turn ed back to town. L. P. Foltk, who captured Mullins, was in his stable at work when the con vict walked up and asked the way to the home of a young man who had been imprisoned in the county jail a short time while Mullins wasjenere. Mr.Folck, as soon as he saw jhg stranger, was convinced that he was "Gilbert Mullins. He called an employe and directed that the stranger be shown the way. As soon as the two men had started. Folck went into his house and armed himself and followed Mullins. He succeeded in keeping out of the convict's sight until he was within 50 yards of him. Mullins started to run when he saw Folck at j preaching. Mr. Folck fhot at him as i he leaped a fence aiKWhc desperado fell, out ne got up miiiieuiaiiy yip ran ias ter than before. He ran into'a corn field several hundred yards, and Folck, who was close behind him, shot again. Mul lins got down and crawled under some farming implements. .When Mr. Folck came up to him he surrendered and without further resistance was soon placed in his old cell in the county Jail. He was not injured bjt the shots that were fired at him, but was greatly ex cited. He had no weaAons on him. Two hundred dollars had been offered for his Capture. Of the four prisoners that escaped, Harry Barney, the highwayman, is the only one that has not yet been captur ed. The negroes were captured Satur day morning. Barney returned to town Saturday night and went to his home to see his wife. He was seen and the officers went to take him. but he had tied. Mullins is very sore and lame as the result of the way Sheriff Peeso handled him in the fight in the jail when the prisoners were getting away. COOLER WEATHER OVER.

Correspondent Selects Judicial Ap pointments for Governor Bailey. Governor Bailey has been saved a lot of trouble by his newspaper friends. According to the correspondent of the Kansas City Journal, the persons to be appointed judges in the judicial dis tricts where the term expires in Janu ary have all been selected. The Journal says that J. Wr. Adams will succeed Judge Dale; C. F. Hurrell will succeed Judge Gephart; Matt P. Simpson will succeed himself; J. M. Moore will succeed Judge Fisher; W. G. Hurd will succeed Judge Moore, and Judges Holt, Stillwell and Simons will succeed themselves. How grateful the governor will be when he comes back from his wedding trip and finds that all the perplexities of the Judgeship fight have been ironed out for him. Had Gone on a Visit Judge Foote's little pony, which dis appeared some time ago and was adver tised by th? sheriff as stolen, is home again. It was found Sunday by the city marshal of Burlingame. It seems that the miniature horse spent his early youth in that vicinity, and was simply visiting his old home, having made the trip on his own responsibility and not in the company of a horse thief.

Essentials of Beauty as Enumerated by an Expert of Today. What is essential to a pretty woman? Here is the answer as given by a mod ern beauty expert: A pretty woman, first of all, must have clearly cut, regular features. She must have a skin above reproach, untouched by rouge or powder. She must have full, clear eyes. She must have eyelashes long and curling uoward. She must have eyebrows finely marked, slightly arched, long and nar row; yet the narrow line should ba thickly covered, so as to be well marked as if penciled. She must have a straight nose, yet delicate, neither fleshy, nor pointed, not broad at the tip, with the nostrils free and flexible. She must have a mouth rather too large than too small, with lips full and plump and rosy red. Even an ex quisitely shaped mouth has no charm without exaression. She must have even, regular teeth of moderate size, pearly white, with full enamel. She must have a chin neither sharp nor blunt, but gently undulating in its line, round and cushiony, turning a lit tle upward, with a dimple in it. She must have a small delicate jaw, not large and angular, which gives a hard, domineering look. She must have a throat round, full and pillar-like a marble column to support the head. She must have glossy hair that has never known the touch of bleach or dye. She must fully understand what best suits her in the way of halrdressing, and cling closely to that style. She must have small, delicate, com pact ears of a shell like shape. She must have a forehead smooth, even, white, delicate, short, of an open, trustfuul character. Aristo says "of terse ivory was the joyous brow." She must have a long and delicate hand, yet plump, with tapering fingers. j the tips of which, when resting on the paim, snouiu turn oacH. a uitie. She must have a nail "transparent like a ruby among pink roses" not long, not round, not altogether square, but of a fair shape, with a white cres cent visible at the base. She must have a foot not too small, but proportioned to the stature it sup ports: white, well arched, with a curved outline and a smooth surface. She must have an arm with a round and flowing outline, no sharpness at the elbow, and tapering down gently to a small wrist. She must have sloping shoulders, not too broad. She must have a waist twice the size of her throat, not, as fashion has too often made it, nearly the same size. She must have hips high and wide. She must have a good figure, plump enough, yet slender enough, though nev er suggestive of an angle. She must know how to poise the body, in other words, how to stand correctly. She must know how to sit without b. ing stiff-waisted. She must possess the pose and repose that mark the "daughter of a hundred earls." She must have a gait which may b? likened to that of a Diana following the. hounds. She must know how to climb stairs, also how to come down stairs, graceful ly, without any attempt to push holes in the steps. She must have a flexible, vibrant, caressing, tender, poetic, crystalline voice. She must know how to put on her clothes, or she loses half her beauty. A woman may have all these attrac tions be either dark or fair, tall or short, slender or full formed, grave or piquant, majestic or vivacious, serene or brilliant and unless her own personal ity is charming, unless she has tact, it dawns on you, after you have seen her once or twice, that she is not a pretty woman, but a pretty doll. New York Sun. T H REATENS TO SELL LAND. Judge Kazan Weary of the Trego County Litigation. A case redolent with the once popular gold shale odor came up for about the dozenth time in district court today and Judge Hazen explained to the attorneys concerned that the case was getting too old to .be useful ana had about run its ennr- e. It was the ancient case of Poole against Poindexter. Juris-; H.izen didn', have time to waste on the case the last time it reach ed the surface, so he appointed E. A. Aus tin to settle it. Poole simply brought suit against Poindexter to get the case into this county. The case dates from the time thai Poole, Poindoter and others got together $60,wO, which they turned over to S. S. Oti, as agent, to spend in securing and mining a few tons of gold from western shale. Ott worked faithfully, but found more rhale than gold, made another levy, spent -that, and then jumped the job. Tht company was busted. -They couldn't even decide on how to dispose of the acres of barren shale land they had secured. It was to decide this that Austin was appointed referee. Judge Hazen warned the attor neys today that if they did not come to an agreement soon he would order the land sold, so that there would be something visible with which to pay the reftree.

to XjLr? W HAT makes a girl popular? What makes her popular with men. popular with her own sx? What quality is it which makes her a desirable guest at dinners, and. in fact, at every sort of entertainment? Many girls would give a great deal to know thi, particularly those who just fall short an'l are conscious of it. I have been giving the matter some thought and have been helped by the ?Jv I Of certain men I who are broth ers to me very convenient to have that sort of brother some times. Here is the consensus of opinion from the man's point of view: "We like a girl who is Jol ly, a girl who can do things, or if she can't a girl who always has a smile and a merry word; a girl who, above New jet gown. all. is never self conscious. The kind we particularly don't want to have around is the girl who is always appealing for admiration, the girl who is forever say ing to herself. "I wonder what they think of me," the girl, in a word, who plays her sex, her youth and her pret tiness for all they are worth.

The girl who smokes ciga rettes a great many men don't care for, but thf-y would all rather have her than the girl who really does smoke and pre tends that she doesn't, the girl who tries to impress one with her exceeding regard for the proprieties, but who is a hypocrite and a fakir."

I wouldn't give an affair without two or three girls that I know. They are not particularly pretty, only fresh look ing and animated. They are always daintily gowned, although none of them is rich, and two of them make their own things, but they are always appro priately dressed. Oh, that's the thing! I know that when I Invite them to a musicale they won't appear in heavy stuffs, and when the boys and I plan a trip to Chinatown they won't come in lace robes and spangles.

Black For Young; Girls. I have been struck lately," if you will pardon my chapp-iner the subject so

it .-1 O' '"r t 1 abruptly, by the great quantity of black which is being worn, not by old ladies there would be nothing remark able in that but by very young girls. If you look at one of the sketches, you will see a very smart gown of jet over black chiffon and black taffeta. The waist was made with a Spanish effect, very becoming to the brunette who wore it. The front and sleeves were of black chiffon put on very full. The little sleeve caps and the body were of all over jet. A transparent collar and a transparent piece in the front al lowed the flesh tones of the neck to show through prettily. The skirt was very simple. It was cut bell fashion, with a chiffon ruffle at the bottom, and the jet formed long perpendicular lines which radiated outward at the lower edge. The sash was rather unique. It was composed of three ends adjusted on a boned foundation. This is the way it was made: A wide piece of black velvet ribbon, chosen for the belt portion, was seamed In the center of the back, the seam being tak en wider at the lower edge than at the top so as to give it the upward slant in the back and the downward slope in front which fashion requires. Ribbon one size narrower was cut in three lengths, two equal and the third longer. The longer was placed in the center and the whole secured by a tiny piece of the velvet wound around in the semblance of a knot. The ends were cut pointed and edged with narrow ap plique. I forgot to say that along the back seam the belt was boned. This makes a charming belt for summer and evening gowns. Small Waists No More, Strange, isn't it, that when one sees a woman with a small waist nowadays one is positively startled? A few years ago it was the regular thing, and the TO WOMEN. are they?"

A plump. much laced in woman entered a street j car. Almost at the same moment tne car went around a sharp curve, and my lady landed in a sitting position right on the floor of the car. Twice she shook all over in vain attempts to get to her feet: then she relapsed into help lessness, while her face took on an ap oplectic hue both from her efforts and her embarrassment. Finally the con ductor came along and raised her up by pushing upon her substantial shoulder blades, much as ont would raise a fail en beam. The other day I was walking along Fifth avenue with a fripnd. and we saw a little creature with abnormally hiirh French heels, an abnormally fluffy head of hair and an abnormally small waist. With her was a tall, athletic looking young fellow who took long, easy strides after the man ner of his kind. Her struggles to appear animat ed and at the same time keep up with him were truly pit iable. She tee tered, she tot tered, and her poor bit of a waist and bulg ing hips swayed this way and that, while the wind played With havoc with her huge hat and the mass es of her pompadour. All around her were healthy, happy, sensible, comfort able women really enjoying themselves and not pretending. Poor little fool! wonder if her escort drew comparisons. New Tcrk. CHOOSING A WIFE BY MUSIC. A German professor proposes to solve the difficulty some people seem to have in choosing a wife by "trial by music." Everything depends on the taste of the subject under study. If she prefers waltz music, and, above all, Strauss' intoxicating strains, she is certainly frivolous. If she loves Beethoven, she is artis tic, but not practical. Does she prefer Liszt? Then she is ambitious, while a devotee of Mozart would be rather prudish. Why an ad mirer of Offenbach should be cunning is not clear, but remembering the opera of "Faust," it is easy to understand that any girl preferring Gounod must be romantic and tender hearted It is hard upon Flotow that because his music is out of fashion a taste for it denotes a vulgar soul, while Gott schalk fares little better, pleasing, ac cording to the German professor, only the superficial. Massenet is supposed to attract the timid, while a devotion to Wagner's music is a distinct proof of egoism. Saint-Saens, however, is a composer the admiration for whom denotes a girl of intelligence and well balanced char acter. THE DUCHESS OF ALBANY'S CLOAK. The unaffected manner and homely style of dressing characteristic of the Duchess of Albany used to be the de spair of her attendant ladies at bazaar opening or foundation laying. A lady who attended some health lec tures at which the widowed duchess was present as a pupil narrates that, feeling tired one day, she sat down upon a couch on which was flung a well worn mantle of far from the newest cut. Presently a rather timid voice said, "I am awfully sorry to disturb you, but please may I have my wrap?'

WHY THEY MARRIED. An editor who wished to afford some amusement to his lady readers caused a number of letters to be written to hus bands asking them confidentially why they married. Here are some of the an- swers: I didn't intend to do it. Because I didn't have the experience I have now. That's what I've been trying for elev en years to find out. I yearned for company. Now we have it all the time. I thought it would be cheaper than a breach of promise suit. Because Sarah told me five other men had proposed to her. I wanted a companion of the opposite sex. N. B.

Heliotrope is generally liked by the conservative and retiring nature. Women of vivid, imagination and ex travagant habits are known to prefer the odor of roses to that of any other flower. Apple blossom is a favorite with the timid, it is said, and the lily of the val ley is bought oftenest by those who have a tendency to be melancholy. THE NEW TOSSEAU

:c 1 I J 0 J lllilWllillil iS'sfssfssiVs dp r -i i The Woman Commissioner For the St. Louis Exposition F an American business woman in London has occasion in the line of her duty to interview a high Brit ish official, as sometimes happens. in seven cases out of ten he will assume a high and- haughty demeanor and attempt to freeze her out. He does not approve of American women's inde pendent and self reliant way. It's not orthodox. Mark you, though, if the American woman be brave and strong headed, if she refuse to be squelched, but stands up to him fearlessly, meeting his cold insolence with high spirited, though al ways good tempered, repartee, the offi cial ogre's mood changes instantly to one of admiration for her brains and pluck. The Briton likes courage. When his mood thus changes, he can not be too obliging to the woman who has bearded the British lion in his den. Anything in his power he will do for her gladly. Many a time Miss Florence Hayward. the only woman on tree executive staff of the St. Louis (Louisiana purchase) exposition commission, must have had such an experience with British offi cjals as well as with merchants and manufacturers during her mission abroad as special promoter for the fair. There is no doubt, however, that she has conquered British conservatism and brought it quite around to the side of the American new woman. Not long since a prominent London periodical gave a whole page to her portrait and exploitation. This periodical says she is "sur charced with that peculiar nervous en ergy which is recognized as a distinc tively transatlantic product" and tells its readers how this wonderful Ameri can woman has done all sorts of things from shingling a roof to running a cir cus for charity, has written on all sub jects from pig iron to grand opera. Hiss Hayward has spent more time irumming up contributions from Eng lish business men than she gave to those of any oth er nation because she found the British so apa thetic. "What good to send exhibits?'1 they said. "We have nothing to gain. Tour high tariff bars us out of selling any thing in the Unit ed States." The way Miss Hayward got around this ob 1 A i r. a i Florence Hayward. jection stamps her as a stateswoman. She ought to have a diplomatic post somewhere under our government whsn the fair work is done. She said to the British manufacturers: "Now, that is a wrong notion, and I can prove it to you. It is not a question of how much you can ssll to the United States by showing your wares. There is Canada, likewise Brazil, Argentina. Uruguay, Chile and other countries of the vast South American continent, whose trade must undergo a tremen dous expansion in the near future. Alj these will participate in the fair. Their representatives will be keenly studying the evidences of industrial progress made by the nations from whom they will purchase manufactured goods. It is the iniluence which will be exercised on their import trade. Leaving out of the account entirely that of the United States, which is still considerable de spite the tariff, that will make good industrial and commercial exhibits pay handsomely." She had them there, and they saw the point, particularly when she told them CLOTH JACKET. that Germany was broad awake to the situation and was already setting up her exhibits at St. Louis. Then some one proposed to send to St. Louis a stock of goods that had done duty at Paris in 1900. "No, thank you," says Florence Hay ward. "We don't want any encores of that show. The, world has done some moving since then, and you don't want to do anything that will make England appear small among the other nations." And again she brought the opposition around to her viewpoint. It is probable that Miss Hayward has obtained more exhibits abroad for the exposition than any man has been able to get. The very fact that a woman was sent on such a mission gave nov elty to her quest and helped her. Then, too. her overflowing enthusiasm melted down the barrier of British conserva- i r. fi. v4 4f tism and warmed the British heart to her. Ker deterir.ined will power and inexhaustible grit enabled her to see whom she would, though it were a much hedq-ed in government minister himself. Hear her again: "When I want to see a man, I gener ally manage to see him, no matter how high he is. I refuse absolutely to trans act business with him through under lings and secretaries it wastes too much time and when I reach the au gust personage I talk frankly and plainly to him. That achieves results quickest." An, English reporter called to inter view her. to whom she said at once, "I am here to boom the world's iair, and I don't care what you say about me so long as you help that along." Then the English reporter remarked in a very nice and ladylike manner: "I suppose you are paying spef ial at tention to exhibits of women's work?" Her answer was considerably wak ening to the British reportorial ear. "No," she exclaimed with emphasis. "Do you think I would waste my time drumming up exclusive exhibits of jams and preserves and embroidery? I am after art work and machinery and man ufactured products and the things that have made Great Britain a worldwide empire. There is to be no woman's de partment at the St. Loui3 fair." Thus she flattered even while she rat ed the British reporter with the re mark concerning the worldwide empire. It is. In fact, largely due to Florence Hayward's wise, common sense and strong individuality that there is to be no woman's distinctive exhibit at the fair. In every great exposition thus far these separate exhibits, pitiably scant and inadequate, have chiefly served to show what woman has not done. Year by year she is Hearing the goal of worthy achievement. She has now ar rived so close upon it that there need no longer be sex in pickles or paintings. In the preparations for the St. Louis fair that was the point Miss Hayward r V r Is strove to make and at length won.

Irrespective of age, sex or previous condition of servitude on the part of the exhibitor. American women may congratulate themselves that they have a worthy representative of this type of American woman in the old world. It will wake up the conservative nations to what the feminine sex can do. Miss Hay ward also has visited on her mission France, Germany and Holland to arouse interest in the exposition. Eut the British have "taken to" her uncom monly. A London paper says of her: "In her mouth and chin a physiogno mist would rightly read tenacity and firmness of purpose.

As she approached the last flight she began to puff and blow so the lady who she knew was waiting for her at the top might hear and pity her. As she entered the door and passed through the hall the papt and ljuff were intensified into a groan and a gasp, each of which she let out of her lips at every step. She sank moaning into a chair, meanwhile watching out of the side of her eye to see whether the spectator of the performance was duly impressed. The lady was not at all impressed, at least not the way the apparently expir ing female desired her to be. She was an experienced person In sizing up her own sex and knew by long observation that the suffering female was one pos sessed of that morbid craving for sym pathy which is the very existence of those women who make of their ail ments the most enjoyable luxury of their lives. Many women do. The ladjr W7 wn i ft.. Yl. XT7 and I 7 A 4 calmly ignored the spectacular show. Seeing this, the self martyring female assumed an injured look and remarked: "Oh, ah-h, ow-w-w!

"You appear to have mostly all the "itises," coldly responded the lady of the second part. "Yes, I have, and nobody knows how I suffer, and I don't get any sympathy either. Stfme women have got no hu man feeling for anybody but them selves." "Well, it's a pity you ever learned the names of all those 'itise.' contin ued the other.

Many women make the most of every little ailment just to make others hustle around and wait on them and feel sorry for them." "I was left a widow with four chil dren before I was twenty." murmured the chronic whiner.

The heroine of tins story was not only a full blooded sipiau, but her dress v;is fo unbecoming that had she had any beauty it would have been kill jd by the costume. Her shoes were a man's rnstoff India rubbers; her skirt was the short tlat. nel undershirt of a white woman; her blouse was a man's shirt. This costume was appropriate to a miners' camp in which Juanita. or i Wanny, as she was f imiiirt-lv called a nme given her by the miners i) caue j they couidn t pronouni e her real name -pent most of her time, the took no luiiie in (iress because she had no one to ciress for. W hile miners j;re prover bially respectful to women of refine ment, they treated this aborigine pretty much as they treated each other. In deed she was made the scapegoat for everything. If anything was lo.t Wan ny had stolen it; if anything went wrong, "vVanny wag to blame. It was "Wanny, get me this," or Wanny, get away from here." She was the frig of the camp and at the same time was al ways in the way. One of the men, and one alone, renl ized the state of v flairs and one day PUgeested to another who sent Wanny a mile for some tobacco without fuvitis her a cent that she should be iaid for her work. Wanr.y stood by and heard the suggestion, tile reply, the hot words that followed, and saw .lira Hums, her defefider, punch the head of Turn Arch er, his antagonist. The battle m.iy have been drawn. Such battle usually are, though the heroes of stories who defend luckless maidens always come out vic torious. There was one result of the fracas, however, which was permanent. It was understood that thereafter when a man ordered Wan.w to do anything for him he must pay her for doina it. Wanny from this time reeeivod fees varying from a nick'l to a quarter. At her first appearance in the miners' camp after Jim Burns' intervention she wore a real calico dress and h?r hair was braided and tied with a yellow ribbon that had held together :i bundle of cigars. No one suspoeted the cause of he tidiness but Jim Hums and he wouldn't have suspected it had he not notieed a peculiar expression in the girl's eyes the very next time she look ed at him. Jim considered it an expres sion of gratitude. It was more than this. The wild creature's heart had been touched with love. Jim Ruins paid no more attention to Wanny than before. That h h;rt freed her from oppression was no reason why he should be called upon to chancre his bearing toward h' r. He had no use for a little squaw whom his -associates treated very much as they would treat their horse or their ii"e. Wanny made no effort to secure his notice. going about apparently as Indifferent to his attentions as before. Jim was rather pleased at this. He took no credit to himself for the girl's defense, and was the last man to stand what hi called palaver on the part of one for whom he would do a favor. When, therefore, he saw that Wanny refrained from any marked expression of gratitude which would have been likely to nnw oown upon him the gibes of his associates he gave hr credit for a lot of serse. Then Jim. who was inclined to tike Jt upon himsflf to regu'.cte anv infrac tion of camp etiouette. discipline, law and the like, thought proper one day to turn out of camp a good for nothing drunken Indian, one of the tribe to which Wanny belonged, who had their tepees a mile down the stream.

In India the term "fakir" does not mean a cheat or a fraud, but is aD plied to the so-called holy men who carry out certain vows. Cjf all the fa kirs known to the decade between 1S60 and lsTO Gungra Gee, of the province of Hyderabad, was the most prominent. He was a holy man and one who did strange things. Having caused the death of his father by accident, he blinded one of his own eyes, cut off a ftni-tr from his left hand and a toe from his right foot, and vowed to carry out certain things. One oZ them was to roll himself alonir the highway from the city of Hyderabad to that of Kur nool. Another was to sleep only one hcur in twenty-four for P.OO davs. and another was to destroy 100 cobras within a Riven time. MM t 1 4 0 AND STOOD FOR A MOMENT LOOK ING TfaiUKNKltAL IN THE EYES. In the line of jugglery Guntra Gee could do wonderful things, and the Engiish were awed, and the natives miide afraid. One day he gave an ex. hibition in the suburbs of Hyderabad and performed such wonderful feats that General Cluet, commander of the military post, decided to imprison him and destroy his prestige. He was charged with beinjr a vagrant and a in-isar.ee and dragged off to jail, and aft"r he had been locked up for a cou pie of days he was offered his liberty if he would leave the province. He refused and was defiant. It is iuite likely that he would have been shipped out of the country on some pretext or other but for what soon h-i poenetl. In some mysterious way word pot out that on a certain hour of a certain day Gungra Gee would leave his prison in spite of his guards, and when the time arrived 20.000 natives were eath-e;-ed in the streets. General Cluet h id turned out lour regiments of in- i.VJJi(.Tfl, S V I fantry to preserve order. At the jail the fakir was loaded with irons and put in the strongest cell, and sixteen armed men stood between him and liberty. Promptly at the hoifr named the man apiwrared amidst the mob in the street and was at once hustled away. When his cell was unlocked his irons were found on the floor. He had passed out of the cell and into the street like a spirit. If the reader is inclined to doubt that this thing happened, he can find corroboration in the civil and military records of Hyderabad. The matter de. iried the fakir in the estimation of the natives and the English became alarm ed. Charges were preferred against the guards, the Governor of the jaii lost his place, and it was pretended that a conspiracy was unearthed. As a matter of fact, however, the affair was a perfect mystery and could not be explained in any other way but to credit Gunga Gee with supernatural powers. Notwithstanding that a large reward was offered, the fakir was not recaptured, and he went into hiding somewhere and the excitement finally died out. Th-ee months after Gunga Gee's es cape a grand military review was held at Hyderabad. There were eight regi ments In cantonments there, and many- high officials -were present to witness the maneuvers. General Cluet had won his way by means of "pull" rather than by merit. He was pompous, arrogant and tyrannical, and was no favorite with officers or men. It was an oc casion for him to show off, and bemeant to make the most of It. It was estimated that there were 75,000 people massed on the grounds when the trumpets sounded for the review to be gin. As a preliminary the general was to ride up and down along the front of the regiments, followed by his staff. He had just started out. while the band struck up and the regiments prepared to cheer, when a native ran from the crowd and barred his way. It was Gunga Gee. He was recognized by thousands, and after one great shout a silence fell upon the multitude. A dozen troopers rode to drive the man back, but he motioned them away and stood for a moment locking the general in the eyes. Then he raised his hand above his head and muttered something and the people witnessed a thing un paralleled. The general descended from his horse, unbuckled and threw away his sword and went through numerous antics. He stood on his head, he rolled over and over, he moved about on his hands and knees, and barked like a dog. He even kissed the bare feet of the fakir. The affair did not last above five minutes, and you may wonder that It lasted so long. The English seemed to be dazed, and hundreds of men rubbed their eyes as if to clear them. The na tives were silent as death. Here was another marvelous exhibition of the powers of God, and they watched every motion and hardly breathed.. When the general. who had Imprisoned him had been degraded bejfore all that multitude. Gunga Gee walked hack among his people and was swallowed up in an instant, while the general contin ued his antics and was Jeered by thous ands. The spell was not broken until his officers laid hands on him. when he ai once retired to his quarters and another led the review. The affair, of course, created a tremendous local sensation, and for several days the fanatical na tives were ready for a riot. The gen eral's humiliation was complete, and military circles were a unit in agreeing that his resignation must he tendered to wipe out the disgrace. In a month he was on his way home to England, looked upon almost as a pariah. Could Gunga Gee have been found the English would have wreaked vengeance upon him. He was searched for high and low. and the reward was doubled and thebled, but he was never again heard of. although he doubtless lived for many years under some disguise. His power over the general was no doubt some species of what we call hvncjtism. but how he managed to cast off his irons and leave the jail is anoth er matter. He did it, and no man can gainsay It, and the old building with its grated windows stands today just as it stood then. While the governor and his guards or jailers had to go, no one ever believed for a moment that they gave the fakir the slig-htest aid. (Copyright, 11-03, by C. H. Lewis). HUMOR OF THE DAY.

AFTER DUPREE FAMILY Police Gathered in "Uncle George" Saturday Evening. Another Prisoner Escapes from Mud Shovelers' Gang. S. F". Wyatt, a peaceable citizen had trouble last night because he violated Parkdale gang rule No. 41141. In other words, he escorted a Parkdale maiden to her domicile in the district Infested by the gang, thereby incurring the wrath of said gang. It was a beautiful night. The moon was shining. Bootblacks were also shin ing. Mr. Wyatt knew not of the dread dreadfulness of the Parkdale toughs. He was thinking only of the fine night and Hark. Hist. What comes. It is Nemesis, also several assistant "Nemts Iseis." They're after him. Coming down the principal pike of Parkdale surges the eager mob. Going up the principal pike of Parkdale surges Mr. Wyatt. He beat them to it, meaning a house. Mr. Wyatt Needed the house in his busi ness. THEY WERE TNDOt'BTEDLT AFTER HIM. Safely intrenched therein he listened to the gang, who sang "Come out oo mout" et cetera et cetera. Hut he whs very comfortable in the house. He was a stayer. They got tired and went away. So did Mr. Wyatt. Since that time he has gathered a cluster of names, and the Hawkshaws will commit their semi annual pinchency of Parkdale toughs. It is a shame the way they do things to Haytl Weatherly. Hayti is bad med icine. He lives, occasionally, in the street where they get forse as you go up. Hayti was recently arrested for at tempted robbery and impersonating on officer. He was sick and the doctor pre scribed rest. The police prescribed el bow grease and a club. They did not PUNISHMENT WAS IN ORDER. want Hayti if he couldn't work. Thgy told him to get the town out, but he had to raise rough house with the Lane wo man before time to leave, and wan pick ed again. Then he wis put to work and escaped from the guards. The police were glad he was gone hence, and hoped that he was in Kansas City or some other sea port. Vain Hope! He was etill in our midst, and last night he bat tered up the face of the Lane woman. A tall slim darkey from Kansas City had Bconomical and effective. GORHAM Silver Polish Owing to its form is economical in the extreme.

If you haven't attended this great sale, by all means dp so. If you have we know you'll come again. called to see Hayti, and incidentally Miss Lane. This colored person wore a crimson vest, and flagged the owl car in his wild efforts to make a good getaway. Then the gendarmes gathered Hayti which is the third time on one arrest. They swear that he will now have to finish doing his 50 days. Charles Heitman, the jointist. has a good joke on the police court. He does not have to appear before the august presence on the charge of keeping pork on the hoof within the city limits. Why Because Charles is not doing business now. He was soaked $300 and 90 days in district court Saturday for selling booxe, failed to put up the appeal bond, and a committment was issued for him this morning. "Uncle George" Dupree was plucked Saturday eve, along about half past late at his little thirst parlor at 1007 Kansas avenue. "Uncle George" looks so much like "Uncle Andrew," his brother, who was pulled the night prior, that Jailor Morgan got familiar, slap ped him on the back and called him a cheerful repeater. "Uncle George" had nine cold ones and a cork extractor. Mr. M. J. Lonergan of 115 East Sixth was also brought in with one measley little bottle of whisky which he said was used to brace up his nerves while selling hop tea to the public. The cheerful way in which prisoners escape while delving in the soil of North Topeka has made the once numerous gang look like a Populist convention. There were not enough left this morn ing to make it worth while hauling them over. Patrolmen have been urged to get busy before the bastile runs out of a trusty to sweep out. Yesterday T. Burc'n. the ancient reprobate who was arrested for disorderly conduct, and given a fine of $25, shook out a reef and is no longer with us. Also did Charles Estes gt tired of working out a small fine for the alleged theft of a bike, and go home 10 mamma. Four drunks were picked last night, but two of them had friends and fellow citizens who paid their fines. And it will be quite a while by the post office clock before a jointist will ever he seen working out his little 130. The city may be compelled to hire laborers. His Badness, Gilbert Mullins, was not caught, although most of the force are sure they got a trace of him as he pass ed through town. "Grandpa" Anderson has not been heard from, and the force is ashamed of him for not catching the wilv Gilbert. A lady phoned in Friday night that she had chased Mr. Mullins out of her coal house, but that there was no policeman there to nab him. All the present grist of booze cases were continued until this afternoon, ow thot the nfficwl brew al lium l- 11" ll l 1...... torney.

Hawaii Slakes Arrangements to Adopt Improved Method. (Correspondence of Associated Press.) Honolulu. July 6, via San Francisco, July 13. United States Judge Estee has given a decision throwing out of court a petition to declare one, Hee Fat, bankrupt on the ground that he is a farmer and not subject to involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. Hee Fat runs a rice plantation and mill. The case is regarded as of interest in that the same decision might apply to sugar planta tions and other similar enterprises. Sing Fried Langaas, a seaman of the barkentine, James Tuft, has been awarded $2,500 daraaees by Judge Estee on account of the captain of the vessel neglecting to put into the nearest port after Langaas broke his leg in an acci dent on board. The schooner Susie M. Plummer has been attached pending the decision of a suit for $25,000 brought by the relatives of D. Baker of San Francisco, who fell overboard and was drowned owing, it is alleged, to the breaking of a weak foot rope. Governor Dole has appointed P. L.

C UK FEW FOliUOTTEN. Warning to Children Has Not Been Knng for Three Years. What has happened to the curfew ordinance? It has been something like three years since, the fire bell has been used to ring out a warning and a threat to youngsters under sixteen on the streets "or in any public place" after 8 o'clock in winter and 9 o'clock in summer. A good many people have forgotten that Topeka ever had a curfew law. But the city council passed such an ordinance in August, 1S96, and from that time until October, 1900, the firft bell was struck every winter evening at 7:45 and every summer evening at :4.-. "I don't know as I can give any real reason whv the curfew is no longer rung," said Chief Wilmarth this morn ing. "It has simply fallen into disuse. Of course there is no reason why it should not be rung now, but the prac tice was discontinued at the time that we moved from the old city building to the present quarters. That was in Oc tober, 1900. The fire bell was taken down at that time to be moved to the Auditorium, and for some time well, to be exact, until February, 1901 it rested on the ground and could not be rung for fire or any other purpose. At that time, however, it was hung upon a skeleton trestle and might have been rung ever since, according to the pro visions of the ordinance. There were several reasons why it was discontinued, however. One was that, as hung now, the bell can be heard for only a few blocks; and another was on account of the Auditorium being used for evening entertainments It was thought unadvis able to disturb the audiences except in case of fire. There was no demand for the curfew, and everyone seemed to have forgotten all about it. Of course, if such a derhand has arisen now, the bell can be rung as formerly." HEAL SANDWICH ES Served With All Orders for Brinks in New York. New York, July 13. There were 162 arrests during the Sabbath in Manhat tan and Brooklyn for alleged viola tions of the excise law. This was said to have been the largest number ever made in one day. Just what caused the activity of the police in the enforce ment of the liquor laws was not made known. Strange detectives from outlying pre cincts were detailed to duty in the Tenderloin, and the regular officers there, learning of the invasion, lost no time in locating unlocked side doors, etc. At the big hotels the usual condi tions prevailed those who wished liquid refreshments were served with real sandwiches, for which they had to pay. Row Witb. His Coachman. New York, July 13. David Lamar, broker and horseman, is having more trouble with his coachman, McMahon. The two came to blows some time ago over the coachman's actions while driving and Lamar met with rather severe handling. He had the coachman arrested. When the latter was on his way to court he was assaulted and badly beaten by three men. Then tha coachman began getting out warrants for hia former employer, and has suc ceeded in having the latter placed un der $2,300 bonds to answer various charges, including an allegation that Lamar hired men to commit assault and was an accomplice with intent to kill. Mrs. McMahon also took a hand and charged Lamar with having driven her from his place with a crowbar. NEW COMET IN SIGHT. It Is Only About 20,000,000 Miles Away. San Jose, Cal., July 13. Prof.' W. W. Campbell of Lick observatory, gives out the following: The comet discovered by Borelley at Marseilles three weeks ago has been under observation by various members of the Lick observatory staff. It prom ises to be an unusually interesting ob ject. Its brightness has increased very rapidly, until it is now as easily visible as a fourth magnitude star. On Monday evening observers should experience no difficulty in detecting" it about two degrees southwest of the bright star Alpha Cygni. Its motion is carrying it southwestward abOt five degrees daily. The orbit of the comet has been com puted by Prof. Perrine. It is now in a parabola in such a way that its nearest approach to the sun will occur on August 27 at a distance of about 31,000,000 miles. Its present distance from the sun is about 100,000.000 miles and from the earth about 20,000,000. To the unassisted eye the comet will appear as a hazy patch of light. An acute eye should be able to detect a short tail projecting away from the sun. Our photographs have recorded two prominent tails each several degrees in length. While it is always unsafe to make predictions as to how bright a comet will grow, yet there is little doubt that this one will be a fairly con spicuous object in the evening sky. In fact I should expect it to be the bright est comet of the past ten years. This is the comet for which Miss Byrd, the observer from Smith cclege observatory, was looking through the Washburn observatory last week. Misa Byrd did not possess accurate informa tion as to its whereabouts at that time and was unable to find it. Dr. Norman Plass of Washburn col lege said that no effort had since been made to locate it. Prof. Campbell's di rections will be followed tonight in an effort to find the body. Miss Byrd is visiting near Lawrence, but is expected to make another trip to Topeka soon. GIVE BOTH FRANCHISES Mayor Bergundthal Favors Both Natural Gas Companies. Mayor Bergundthal is in favor of letting both the proposed gas companies have franchise to lay pipes in Topeka. The franchise ordinance presented by Burdge and Rohrer vill be ready for passage to night and will be referred back to the council for action by the committee which has had it in charge. The Continental Gas and Oil company has only declared its in tentions of a Eking for a franchise, but have promised to have a franchise ordinance here for consideration at tonight's council meeting. In discussing-the relative merits of the two companies Mayor Bergundihal said this morning: I am in favor of letting both of them have franchises and then seeing which can beat the other one in with its pipes. From what I am told the Continental peo ple are more nearly ready to undertake the laying of such a pipe line as is pro posed. They claim to have an extensive gas field and several wells in operation. On the other hand it was shown in the com mittee meeting the other night that Burdge and Rohrer really haven :t much of any thing. They have still to organize a com pany, to get a right of way for their gas main and to arrange for the lease of gas land. Still. I don't see why we couldn't let them have a franchise. What Topeka wants is cheap gas and we can afford to put no obstacle in the way of the people who want to furnish it." N. B. Burdge and S. B. Rohrer, the pro moters who first brought the natural gas proposition before the covmcilf. claim to have an understanding with gas people bv which they can close up arrangements for securing gas without delay. They say also they have plenty of capital for the support of their project. IN MEMORY OF FORD. George Vanderbilt Places a Window in All Souls Church. New York. July 13.
