Brown and Carl Brown, of Whitfield, N. H., and C. M Z. Twitch ell, A. S. Twitchell, L. M. Hutchinson. M. Parkins and O. I'. Hurt of Berlin, N. H.. and ex-Mayor Pinker and E. T. Sim. of Topi ka. Kan., arrived in the city this morning and left this after noon with J. K. Eldridee for the Mead ows and Council to look over some tim ber lands. The Browns are lending ship builders on the Atlantic coast, and are men of unlimited means. They were here the latter part of April, while on a tour of the northwestern country, and so im pressed were they with the possibilities of Idaho, that they have returned with their friends to investigate the possibili ties of the state. Mr. Brown was the titst ship builder on the Atlantic coast to recognize the value of the northwest ern pine for ship building purposes and was the first to ship timber from Seat tle to the Atlantic coast for that pur pose. Since then it hrs come into uni versal use and is in demand in many ship building plants in the country. When Mr. Brown was here a few weeks ago, he saw the great possibilities of Idaho timber and for that reason has returned with a party of capitalists for the purpose of securing a large acreage of timber. If the timber which they will look over in the Meadows and Council country proves satisfactory, the probabilities are they will make large purchases. The Topeka men are old friends of Mr. Kldridge. and are Interested only in promoting the deal. On their return In a few days it is probable more defin ite information will be given out. Should the deal under consideration be rut through, it will be another rtep forward in the development of Idaho's natural resources. Boise, Idaho, Capi tal. 8enator Burton to Bpeak. Lucas.

Senator Burton will make the address. Suicide Near Medicine Lodge. Medicine Lodge, Kan.. Julv IB. J W. Bierer. a farmer and ranchman, who lived ten miles north of here, committed suicide by hanging himself to a rafter In his granary. Financial reverses made him crazy. He is a brother of Judge Bierer of Oklahoma. PROSPEROUS RESTAURANT. Clarence Scott Eti Built Up an Ex cellent Trade in Topeka. The Cremerie restaurant is doing a bis business: more than six hundred or ders are taken every day. The best class of people so there and the best kind of service is given. Clarence Scott, the proprietor, has now been in Topeka for more than seven years and in that time he ha9 built up a splendid patronage. How ever, he is very deserving, tor it must be said that he works hard in looking after the wants of his patrons and also that he believes in keeping things up to date. He has recently spent quite a sum of money in putting on expensive paper, painting, placing numerous electric fans, arranging excellent ventilation, etc. He will soon have two large ex haust fans in operation in the kitchen to keep all odors out of the dining room. His kitchen, by the way, is kept neat and clean. The best of help is employed there, as well as in the dining room and at the lunch counter. Charley Lamb, who has been chef at the Cremerie for the past four years, resigned last week to go into business for himself in Okla homa. Ben Capps. who was with Mr. Scott several years ago and who has been chef at the Paddock hotel in Beat rice, Neb., for three or four years, left h"is position there to return to the Cre merle. Mr. Soott pays good wages and, of course, gets good cooks and good waiters. SIEGE IS ORDERED. President Castro Decides Not to Storm Ciudad Bolivar. Roledad, Venezuela, July 16. The situation is unchanged. The attack on Ciudad Bolivar by the Venezuelan gov ernment troops, which appeared immi nent yesterday morning, as cabled to the Associated Press at the time, has been deferred at the request of United States Consul Henderson, Herr Brok man. the German consul, and the bish op, who transmitted to President Cas tro, through General Gomez, the com-mmder-in-chlef of the government forces, a long telegram asking him to be magnanimous and to show mercy to all if the revolutionists surrender. The president answered as follows "Ytf, for every one except the traitor Ferrc-a, the author of so many tears and the cause of making so many or phans." The final pojlod of delay given by General Gomez for a definite answer to bis request for the surrender of General Rolando and his followers expires today, but the correspondent of the Associated Press is informed that at the last min j ute President Castro wishing to save j the lives of the 'inhabitants of Ciudad Bolivar and to avoid the horrors which ftch provisions for the troops. government FIGHT ON WOOD. Violent Opposition to the Gen eral's Further Promotion. Washington, July IB The approaching retirement of General Miles, with the con sequent changes in the way of promotions and retirements which will come soon thereafter, has given rise to much gossip i to what will he the ultimate attitude of wiblio men toward Gen. Ieonard Woo. I w.ho ls Sl h, doled for promotion to the rank j bft I? fTnreS 1 ment over the rapid rise of General Wood, officers who have spent a quarter of a cmtury in the army and accepted all sorts of details without complaint or opportunity i l, con. plain and yet have not risen above '"16 rank f major, can not discuss with- "i carter oi general v ooo, wno in five years has risen from the rank of captain to that of brigadier general. All the influence which the powerful army circles can wield will be exerted to pre vent the ratification of Wood's promotion by the senate. There will be some aid for this movement in the senate outside the army circles. Those who believe that General Wood has been unduly favored and should not receive further favors from Banna em-rily oppose Wood. The old charges of extravagance in the adminis tration of insular affairs will also b brought up against Wood. Added to these will be most bitter opposition from the friends of General Irfiwton. During Law ton's life he restrained a number of per sonal friendH from attempting to discipline Wood for an injury which Wood is alleged to have done Uiwion. But since the death of Ijiwton, his friends have grown more bitter and pronounced in opposing Wood and in determining that they will not leave a stone unturned to even up the score for Lawton. No one really believes that Wood's nomination will meet with effective oppo sition, but it will be sufficient to create an interesting situation during the coming session of the congress. SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Will Hold a Reunion at Pittsburg July 27. Pittsburg, Kan., July 16.

The convention was opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon by three great meetings, one in Tent Ontario, at the corner of Fourth and Lafayette avenues, one in the Detroit opera house and one in the Central M. E. church. Kach meeting followed identically the same pro gramme, addresses of welcome, re sponses and a keynote address. The large chorus which was organized among the local singers to furnish the musio for the convention was divided and one third of the membership sang in each auditorium under the leadership of Evangelists John Hillis, J. M. Black and Charles D. Tillman. "J2ev. Albert Carman of Toronto, Ont., presided over the meeting at Tent On tario which was well filled when he in troduced Rev. John Handley, of Long Branch, N.

The watchwords i of the convention are "Waiting," "Wit pesslng" and "Working" and the speak i ers in their keynote addresses fol lowed in a general way the ideas rep resented by these three watchwords. NEEDLESS ALARM. No Dangerous Rise Reported at Kansas River Points. Towns and people living in the Kaw valley have been considerably disquieted during the past 12 hours by reports of rises in the river toward the west. Frequent inquiries have been made by Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka to find the condition of things at Manhat tan and Junction City but the informa tion secured from any source Is not alarming. George W. Martin, of the State historical society. received a hasty inquiry this morning from one of the big wholesale establishments in the Kansas City district that suffered in the recent flood asking what the prospects were for a repetition of the inundation. A message received by the State Jour nal from the central office of the Inde pendent telephone at Junction City shortly before noon today states that the river rose three feet Wednesday night at that place as a result of very heavy rains there and west but that it had begun going down this morning The condition of the river has not been such during the past IS hours to occa sion an alarm on the part of the rail roads in the Kaw valley and no infor mation indicating alarming rises was secured at the Union Pacific or Roclc Island offices here this morning. The Junction City report, received this morning confirms one from Manhattan sent in a short time previous. The Man hattan correspondent stated that the river there had risen three feet since Wednesday morning. It stopped rising when 20 feet lower than the high point reached during the recent flood and 12 feet below the danger point. Topeka doesn't pay much attention to small rises in the river any more. At the Wolff packing house where they have about the best opportunity for keeping tab on the movement of the stream not much notice has been paid to the river in the last d.ir and a half. It was stated there this morning that the Kaw had risen possibly a foot Bince Wednesday but had stopped. Pardon Asked for Miller. New York. July 16. District Attorney Jerome to-day forwarded to Governor Odell, who is in the west, a petition asking for the pardon of Wm. F. Mil ler of Franklyn syndicate notoriety, who recently appeared as the chief witness In the trial of Colonel Robert A. Am mon, his counsel. The chief reasons set forth are that Miller became a state witness, and is ill of consumption. Miller was sentenced to ten years of which he has served three years. He is still in the Tombs prison in this city. Weather Indications Chicago, July 16. Forecast Kansas: Partly cloudy tonight and Friday with probably local thunder storms; variable winds. PORTS WILL OPEN Ianchurian Question lias Been Settled Satisfactorily. Russia Has Given Formal As surance to this Government. FUEE TO T1IE MOULD. Result of the Conference at Port Arthnr. No Time Has Been Fixed for the Opening. Washington, July 16 The Manchurian question has been settled satisfactorily to this government. Assurances have been received from, the Chinese govern ment, that it will In the near future, open as treaty ports several ports now closed to the world's trade. The Rus sian government has conveyed formal assurance to the United States govern ment that it will not in any way op pose such opening. While the ports to be opened are not yet specified, it is gathered from the communications re ceived that they are Moukden. the prin cipal international port of Manchuria, and Ta Tung Kao, at the mouth of Yalu river. The state department is highly gratified at this outcome, feeling that it has secured not only for American commerce but 1-r the commerce of the world at large very substantial gain. It now develops that the meeting of Russian officials at Port Arthur just concluded was but one of the steosj, though an important one, which the St. Petersburg government had planned in execution of its purpose to place mat ters of international administration in Manchuria in such condition that the ports desired by the United States and Japan it is believed could be opened without causing disturbance or involv ing undue sacrifice of proper Russian interests. It already had been represent ed that much of the friction that had grown out of the Manchurian question was caused by a sort of triple yet inde pendent administration of affairs in Manchuria, by representatives of the different branches of the Russian gov ernment. The result was that one offi cial would not feel bound by the pledges made by another so that foreign nations complained of bad faith. It is under stood that now following the Port Ai thur conference, a compact and respon sible direction of affairs has been ar ranged for and orders issued from St. Petersburg are-certain tomeet -with speedy and exact compliance. Although no set time is mentioned in the promise r to open tha. ports itfi -'befieved that this will luutjiv o M l auu liiw ivuoniii eval uation in September. HARVEST NEARLY OVER. Work in Wheat and Oat Fields Ended This Week. Hutchinson, July 16 Harvest is prac tically over in Reno county and the other counties in the wheat belt this year. County Clerk William Newlin says that there remains very few fields of grain standing, nearly all of it being in the shock or stack or is being threshed. A few scattering fields are probably waitingn the reaper or the header but all of it will be finished this week. Ernest Myers, son of Commissioner Myers of South Reno. has returned from Stafford county where harvest was on in full blast, but he says it Is practic ally finished by this time and that threshing is the order of the day there. Both the wheat and the oats have been gathered in and, in this portion of the county, the work has been done in the best shape, very little, if any, grain going to waste. The oats were ripe al most as soon as the wheat this year, the latter crop being later than usual on account of the lateness of the spring weather. Never has there been a year in the memory of the old timers in this coun ty when the weather and the harvest lit so well. There were very few days in any portion of the county when the harvest was interfered with and. as a usual thing, there were enough men to do the work before the grain was ripen ed so much that it went to waste. Much of the wheat was ripe enough when cut to thresh immediately and many fields were cut one day and threshed the next. It is rather too early to determine what the average crop will be over the county, but it is safe to say that the crop will be one of the best ever raised In this county. The oualitv of the wheat is much better than for vears and stories of the heavy weights per bnishel and the firmness of the grain are' beginning to come in. Farmers are usually claiming that the pverage will be about twenty bushels to the acre, but this is probably large, as this would mean an immense crop, when all the fields in the county are taken into consideration. In some parts of the county the crop was retarded in the early spring bv the Hessian fly or other insect, but there seems to be very little shortage in anv particular part of the county by these pests. It is quite possible that the fly was in the imagination, in many fields which were sunixised to be ruined at one time, and that the effect of this insect on the wheat generally has not shortened the crop to anv great extent. Certain it Is that Reno and the adjoining counties will have what enough to keep them in the middle of the creat wheat belt for an other year. Body of an Unknown Man. Newton. Kas.. July 1(5. Switchmen found the body of an unknown man. thought to be a harvest hand, in a conl car on an east-bound freight train in the Newton vards Wednesday.

Difficulty In Breathing Has Grown More Serious. UE HAD A BAD SIGHT. Called Frequently on the Doc tors for Restoratives He Felt Better After the Cele bration of Mass. Rome, July 16, 7:25 p. m. The follow ing bulletin has Just been issued: "His holiness- condition continues the same as this morning. During the day he had some hours rest. Pulse 88, res piration 36, temperature 36.6 centi grade. Lapponl, Mazzoni." The pope's condition today again as sumed a grave aspect. Besides the con tinuance of the pontiff's extreme weak ness the doctors indicated the ominous prospect of another operation for the removal of the pleuritic liquid. The pope continued restless but had several periods of comparative ease. During one of these he gave another evidence of his remarkable vitality by taking holy communion during the celebration of mass in honor of the Madonna of the Carmelites. The ceremony was held in the chapel, adjoining the sick room, the doors being open. It was a pathetically solemn event, as by the pope's request, those participating, besides Dr. Lap poni and Pio Centra, included a number of his trusted domestics, five sweepers and two porters. The doctors were unable to announce definitely when the next operation will be performed. They fear it may becor le necessary this evening, or tomorrow morning, but they are determined to defer it until it is imperative, fearing that the enfeebled condition of the pa tient may be taxed beyond the final limit. Toward noon the pontiff dropped off into an uneasy sleep. When Dr. Mazzoni visited the pon tiff this morning the latter said the past night had been one of the worst he had experienced. He spoke of the oppression on his chest: the difficulty in breathing and the uncontrollable restlessness. Sivtns him in fact no peace in any posi tion. Dr. Lapponi said the pope had called for hinr very often during the night, taking frequent restoratives, especially meat broth, orangeade and Tamarind water. Ho felt brtter, hoarever, after the cel ebration of mass as though the com munion had calmed him. In fact the doctors proceeded with a thorough ex amination of his thorax without fatig uing him too much. They found tne liquid in the pleura augmented but not gathered in such quantity as to endan ger the patient's life by producing pressure on the heart or througn asphyxia which might occur if there were pressure on the lower part of the bronchial tubes. On account of the ex treme weakness of the pontiff, no new operation for extraction of the liquid will be performed until it is absolutely indispensable. But the operation might be made tonight or tomorrow indepen dent of the fact that liquid in its pr esent quantity does not imminently threate.i the pope's life. The doctors hesitate to again perform drainage of the pleura, fearing that the effect of the operation itself, involving the possibility of pres sure on the lungs, and consequently of the whole apparatus of circulation, might be fatal. The doctors have received many con gratulations from medical authorities, with most of whom they are not ac quainted, on their treatment of the pontiff. Among these is a letwr to Dr. Lapponi from Prof. Henri Hutchard, a member of the academy of medicine at Paris. A CHANCE FOR GIBBONS. Paris. July 16. A dispatch from Rome is published here giving an interview w ith a monsignor who is a friend of the United States. He said that if a num ber of cardinals favorable to Cardinal Gibbons had not died lately, the Amer ican cardinal would have had a good chance of being elected. He will have a great influence at the conclave and the authority which Cardinal Gibbons will exercise probably will pave the way to a more just representation of the TTnited States in the sacred college which will bear fruit at the next con clave. Even now, asserted the monsignor, the Catholics of the republican United States will not permit a monarchical nation to intervene with her veto. Amer ican ideas will play a leading part from the very beginning at the coming con clave and it is sure that these ideas will have a much powerful influence on the future destinies of the church of Rome. HIS DAY TO DIE. Rome. July 16. Today being the fes tival of the Carmelite Madonna and be cause of Pope Leo's particular devotion to this Madonna, special prayers on be half of his holiness were offered in all the churches after the celebration of mass. The pontiff-3 own prediction that his death, if it were to result from his pres ent illness, would occur today is re called with emotion. Struck by a Switch Engine. Iola, Kas., July 16. W. D. Thurman. a brakeman on the Mitsouri Pacific, was struck by a switch engine, receiving in juries from which he died yesterday.

ROGERS, the steward. The- fire started In the laundry at the west end of the main building and reached the roof of the main structure before it was discovered. A light wind drove the blaze into the rooms and halls on every floor. The entire building was filled with smoke before the Inmates, some thirty in number, were awakened. A nurse, Payne by name, went into the hall and heard Dr. Rogers calling for help. Payne broke the door open and led Rogers part way down the hall, telling him to follow. He reached the porch only to find that Rogers had not followed.

The Iron Trade Review this week says: Indications in the iron market have not been as promising in the past week as was to be looked for in the wake of the good rail buying of a few weeks previous. The long delayed buying movement for which the time has been repeatedly set in the past few weeks, is still in the future, and is now dis cussed with less confidence than at any time since the high point was reached. Actual developments of the past week are the third reduction of prices by as sociated southern furnaces, lower quo tations on northern pig Iron in eastern and central western markets, lowet prices for bar iron, and an attitude on the part of buyers in all lines that points to a lower basis before any fres buying can be recorded. There are Increasing indications that production is In excess of consumption, and without trying to locate the point at which some blast furnaces must blow out if descent goes on, the policy of buyers argues a belief that the swing is stiil to be in their favor. Something may be inferred of the effect of high prices in stimulating production by the output of southern blast furnaces on July 1, which was at a weekly rate of about 51,000 tons, as against about 43,000 tons in March, 1902, when southern No. 2 was sold at $12 and a profit. Part of the increase comes too from the most modern furnace in the south, and from improvements to the stacks of the larg est producers. The 'reduction of No. 2 foundry to $13.50 by the Chicago meet ing of associated furnaces last Friday is not more significant than the pre vious reduction to $15, the market hav ing already fixed a lower level in both cases. Buyers now talk $12 and will buy little while they wait Pig iron stock figures for July 1 showed an ac cumulation In June of about 150.000. Production is now at the rate of 21,500, 000 tons a year.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 16. 1903. KAHSASNEVVS. Coosie llajs Is a Tjpical Witch Doctor. lie Lives Jfoar CofTeyville and Treats Indians. CURES EVIL SPIRITS. ilainlj Uses Herbs and Hoots That He Digs. Claims to Hare Received Power l'ears Ago. His Coffeyville, Kan., July 16 The Jour nal gayB: Down south of Coffeyville about a dozen miles, in an unpretentious farm house so unpretentious in fact as to be almost primitive lives an old charac ter; a representative of a class almost extinct; a relic of the days of slavery, when superstition and fanaticism walk ed hand In hand; a hoodoo" or '"witch" doctor "Dr." Coosie Hays. "Dr." Coosie Hays is an aged and grizzled darkey whose body is unim paired in spite of its 73 years of active service and whose untutored mind still teems with "hants" and "kunjures" and the inherent superstition of the colored race. "Dr" Hays frequently comes to Cof feyville. He was here Saturday doing his trading and buying some ."varus" and things. "Use a Injun doctor, sah." said the 'doctor'' in response to questions. "I'se a Btf doctah and I cuahs things de white doctahs kaint. I cuahs wit de Fame drops dp white doctahs do, only I uses 'em differently. Bah. "I'se not doc'tun very much right now I'se too busy fahmin'. But I can cuah anybody." The "doctor" has been conjuring and healing by Indian gifts for years. He uses some drugs purchased from drug stores but mainly uses herbs and roots Of his own gathering. He is a former slave of the Cherokee Indians and claims to have received his healing gift from the old time Indian medicine oien and from his natural "gift." He chuckles and laughs ana shakes his woolly head declaring that he knows things that no white doctor does and that by working potent charms and conjures he can .-remove "hants" and work cures of the most stubborn cases. Occasionally some of the "doctor's" patients fall ill and their aches and pains completely baffle his skill in diag nosis. Then, according to the "doctor," only one thing can possibly be the mat ter the patient is undoubtedly possess ed of evil spirits. One of the "doctor's" popular methods for a cure in such cases as these is very interesting. He performs certain mysterious rites in which a Jug, sundry herbs and a hazel wand act star parts. The patient re mains in bed. At the end of a certain time, small balls of hair are found at the patient's feet. When a certain number of these balls are found the patient is supposed to be cured. Of course the balls of hair come from the patient's body through the soles of his feet. "Dr." Hays says he don't know how many wives he has hud "I'll bring in de list some day and we'll hab de roll call," and the old man chuckled deeply. It will be but a few years more and the "conjure" doctor will be a thing of the past. "Dr." Coosie Hays is a dis tinct type of the class and his passing will be the removal of a character that has been familiar in Cherokee history for years. But the old man is still hale and will doubtless round out a century. He says so at least. THE MAYORS OF 8ALINA. Have Been Seventeen Since Town Was Organized.

Haviland, Kan., July 16. The farmers here are aliout half through with harvesting and the wheat that remains uncut is getting very ripe. Harvest hands are very scarce. Had there been plenty of help the wheat would have all been In the shock or stack by this time. The wheat is generally very good. Ground was broken today for a new building on Main street to be occupied by the postoflice. The new postmaster, N. H. Mendenhall. lately appointed by Congressman Murdock, is putting up the building. Mr. George W. Lemons of Pratt has his new bank building nearly com pleted and figures on being ready for Originality and Dis tinction are always evident in Gorham Silver They serve to differentiate it from the unnamed mediocrities which cost as much and lack the Gor ham guarantee of sterling value and honest work manship. Ail responsible Jewelers keep it business by August 1. Mr. Lemons is president of the bank at Pratt. The people of Haviland are living in hopes that when General Superintendent Gruber of the Kock Island sees their new bank and postoflice buildings he wiil make their station a regular stop ping point for passenger trains. As now Haviland is only a Hag station regard less of the $3,0(10 monthly that goes into the coffers of the company from here. The Haviland Grain Live Stock as sociation has been organized with H. M. Davis as president and George Kelley, secretary, and a charter applied for; the company is composed of seventy-eight stockholders. Farmers and business men say they are going to build an elevator and stock yards. AFRAID OF BROTHER-IN-LAW Reasons Given by Ex-Warden Tom linson for Bloving. Minneapolis, July 16. J. B. Tomlin son, attorney-at-law and resident of Minneapolis for the last twenty-two years, is packing up his law books and household goods, and in the next few days will shake the Fifth district dust from his clothes and land in Independ ence. Kan., where he will again engage in his chosen and successful avocation. Mr. Tomlirrson says he isn't going to burn any bridges behind him, or say any mean things about his former neighbors. He leaves Minneapolis for the reason that he don't want to prac tice in the court presided over by his brother-in-law, K. K. Kees, Judge of the Thirtieth district. He believes In dependence presents the best future for a good live place of any he has seen in Kansas. In politics, he has served as warden of the penitentiary, and has been chairman of the Republican coun ty committee, senatorial. Judicial and congressional committees, as well as member of the state committee. Joe Tomlinson will be missed here by all who know him. and should he not find things in Independence as he pic tures them out, he will find a people here who will sincerely wish he may locate here again. VALUABLE CLAY BEDS. Samples from a Glasco Bank Test First-Class. Glasco, July 16. About three miles from Glasco there is a bed of clay, which if ever developed bids fair to ri val, if not surpass any clay beds yet discovered in Kansas. This clay is on the farm of James M. Gray. Sam ples of this clay was sent to Coffey ville about two years ago tor test. And now after so long a lapse they have sent after more samples. It is claimed for the Glasco clay that it is not onl brick clay but a first-class fire clay as well, and that while other beds of clay partially vitr'fy, this clay vitrifies all the way through it. Xor does this-Glas co clay have to be mixed with shale as Is usually the case with other beds. It is said that in some report of an old government survey through ,this sec tion, mention is made of this clay bed. Mr. Gray claims that the clay crops out from the surface, and that so far as he knows is from 50 to To feet in depth. He has some samples of it burned, and it rings iike iron. The Coffeyville peo ple are evidently much interested in the Glasco clay beds,, and have so in formed their correspondent here. MILES AT FORT RILEY.

Maud Walker, who lives in a tent iust south of town, was called out by "Hud" Scypo, a well known Coffey ville negro.

Stories of Champion's Poor Con dition Giren Credence. FIADS TRAINING HARD. Pulls Out on Deer Hunt to Re duce Flesh. Jim Corbett's Wife Dreams of the Battle. Thinks Her Husband W ill Win in the Thirteenth. San Francisco, July 16. Pugilistic circles here are receiving all kinds of shocks over stories of lack of condition from the Jeffries camp that will not down. The most persistent of these reports is that Jeffries is finding the task of reducing a most trying one, and that his efforts to acquire speed have all but disappointed Fitzsimmons, Delaney and the corps of trainers called Into consul tation. The reason for Jeffries' trouble is, of course, attributed to the rather free and easy way in which the boilermaker conducted himself after his last con test. The critical ones affirm that Jeffries is not the Jeffries of old by 40 per cent, and that Jim Corbett, after all, with his wonderful skill, may avoid the deadly piston-rod punches long enough to be declared the winner on points. Jeffries has been In a rather sullen mood of late, and this adds to the dis comfiture of his backers. So disappointed has Jeffries become over his failure to get down to righting weight that he is preparing all sorts of schedules for himself that ought to take the place of a Turkish bath as a weight reducer. For the next two weeks Jeffries will cover all sorts of distances over the road, as well as engage In long bouts with his sparring partners. Jeffries is determined that he will en ter the ring in tip-top condition, even though certain observant people assert that he can sacrifice his weight only by getting weak. In any event, Jim Jeffries is worrying no little bit over this coming contro versy with Mr. Corbett, and the sporting fraternity hereabouts is inclined to give the former champion a "look ln,"where, two weeks ago they called it a cinch for Jeffries. Jeffries left today for a hunt. Fitz accompanied him, and, as they are both good hunters, Delaney expects to have venison for some time to come. Jeff and his party are invited to the lower lake by a rich merchant, who has placed his fine country eat at Jeff's disposal. Delaney encourages Jeff to go on such trips, as he believes it does him good, and he des not want him to work too much. MRS. CORBETT DREAMS. "Jim Corbett will knock out Jeffries and regain the championship of the world in the thirteenth round." This is the prediction of the pugilist's wife. "I know Jim will win, because he's the best man," Mrs. Corbett said. "I think he could go into the ring today and whip Jeffries, he is in such excellent condition. I don't intend that tie shall go back any, either, between now and the day of the battle. I am cooking all his food for him myself, and am taking pains that he doesn't get anything that will do him the slightest harm. "There is one thing that worries me, however," continued Mrs. Corbett. "The first time I had the dream. Jeffries in the ninth round floored Jim with an awful swing. Jim had slipped while feinting, and before he could recover himself had been .dealt the blow. "After I had this dream I told Jim of It and made him promise to be very careful during the ninth round and not take any chances. This promise he made. Shortly afterward when I had the same dream again every round was exactly as It had been in the first dream except th ninth round. That was alto gether different, and. although Jeffries fought like a lion all the time, seeming ly realizing that if he won it must be in the ninth round. Jim kept his head, ducked and sidestepped Jeffries' awful blows and csme through the fire smil ing nd uninjured. "This change in the dream has con--inced me that the crisis will come in the ninth round and that Jim has only to be on the watch out then. If there Is such a thing as Jeffries winning it will certainlv be in the ninth round, but I don't believe he will win. I am con fident Jim will be returned the winner and that by a knockout blow in the thirteenth round." HE DROPPED $8,000. John J. Ryan Had Another Bad Day in Covington. Cincinnati, July IB John J.

Unless the Mil waukee team of the American associa tion receives better support from the baseball fans of this city during the coming series of games on the home grounds some of the better players will be disposed of to the highest bidder and the Brewers will drop from their proud position as leaders in the pennant race. Griffith of the New York American team wants Donahue and is willing to pay a round sum for the Brewers' cap tain if he can get him. McAleer of the St. Louis Browns will be only too glad to get hold of Elliot. Comiskey has been after Unglaub for some time and is only waiting for the opportunity to get hold of the clever young third baseman. Racing at New York. New York. July 16.

New York, July 16 "Young Corbett." the featherweight champion, evidently means to be in good shape for the four fights in which he will participate during the next four weeks. He has gone to At. lantic Citv, where he will train. Before starting "Corbett" said: "When I fight attain I will be in shape. In my tight with Sammv Smith in phtlad- lphia I blew up in the first round and became very tired. That was caused by lack of train ing, and I don't intend to be caught out of shape again." The four tights which "Ceibett" will engage in will be with Jack O'NeaU of Philadelphia for six rounds in Philadelphia next Monday: Billy Maynard for six rounds in the Pennsylvania Art club of Philadelphia a week later; Jimmy Hriggs before the Tammany A.

Golden Maxim Injured. New York. Julv 16. J. P. Kraner early in ho epas.m thought that in Golden Maxim he had the premier 3-yenr-old of the year, and his first race confirmed that impression. Since then the colt, through a scrips cf bad rides, has been beaten ill several valuable stakes, the climax com ing when he was ben ten a few inches in the Realization. On Saturday last Golden Maxirn galloped home an easy winner in the Islip handicap. Taken to his quarters at Sheepshead bav he cooled cut perfectly sound, but atlerward went so lame in the n.-ar hind lfg that he was unable to put that member on the ground. The injury is difficult to treat on account of its posi tion, and Golden Maxim will be unable to race for a long period. Britt in Good Condition. San Francisco, July 16. Jimmy Britt has returned from his outing through Lake county, ami gone to Alameda to commence his training operations for his coming battle with Jack OKeefe. who is nlreadv installed at Sheehan's at Ocean peach.

Boxing will be ta booed for another-week to enable the in jured right to heal thoroughly. The physi cian assures him that by that time there will be nothing to fear, as the fractured bone will knit and will be stronger than ever. Racing at Chicago. Chicago, July 16 Peter Paul, It.

3 RAILROAOHEWS. MePherson Starts Fight on N. K. U. Bonds. Said to Be Led by Opposing Kail roads. MILLIKEN INTERESTED llailroad Attorney Was in At tendance at Meeting. Held in Secret in the Court House. MePherson is the first town in the tate to get up any real excitement about the voting of bonds for the Ne braska, Kansas and Gulf railway, the new line which proposes to build a north-and-south road through the heart of Kansas. The promotors of the company have had very good success in their bond propositions, up to the time that they etruck MePherson. There they ran in to the combined opposition of the San ta Fe, Kock Island, Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific, It seems, or at least a portion of these roads, and accord ing to the Mcl'herson papers, J. D. Mil liken, attorney for the Kock Island anil Union Pacific roads, is leading the tight on the bonds. In telling of the situation, the Mc l'herson Republican says: "Sixteen men pledged against the building of the north and south rail road met In the public court room of the court house and held a secret meet ing against carrying the bonds. "J. U. Maxwell called the meeting to order anil J. IX Milliken was nominat ed chairman but refused to serve on account of personal reasons. L. A. lir.idl was then chosen chairman and (jus Heyers of Uroveland secre tary. After assuring: themselves thav no spy was in the meeting, they be (an to lay plans for defeating the vot ing of bonds for the new railroad. It was decided to begin an active cam paign against signing the petitions and later a public meeting may be held for pushing the work. They argued that it was imperative to prevent people from signing the petition, because if the reiuisit number of signers can be secured, the bonds are sure to be carried. "This meeting was gotten up by J. D. Milliken, attorney for the Kock Is land and Union Pacific, roads, and it is easily seen that it is scarcely in the in terest of MePherson county. It is not surprising that the attorney of two competing railroads should get up such a meeting and is only another evidence of the fai t that the new road will be a good thing for the county else why tight it so? It is not likely that the peo ple of the county will be fooled by such a move, called as it was and held in secret in the public court room ot the court house of the whole people, but excluding citizens from the meet ing who wanted to be there." Following up this item, the Republi can prints the follow ing editorial In fa vor of the proposed bond Issue:, "That the taxes on the proposed Gulf road will pay interest and bonds before the bonds are due can easily be seen by a little figuring. Uet us see. Fifty thousand dollars at 4V2 per cent will be $2,-50 a year interest on bonds. The new line will have about the same mile age in this county as the Santa Fe. Now the Santa Fe is a branch line and pays less taxes than if it were a main line. I!ut for safety of figuring let us assume that it pays only as much taxes as the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe today pays $4,500 taxes in MePherson county every year. Let us take this figure as the taxes on the new road. Kvery year the new road would pay $2,230 more taxes in MePherson county than the interest on the bonds. If this $2,250 in excess of interest be placed in a .sinking fund, it will lake only 22 years for the road to pay its own bonds besides paying the Interest every years. "Now viewing it on the basis of a main line the taxes in MePherson coun ty would be close to $6,000, leaving every year $.1,750 in excess of taxes. This would only take thirteen and a third years to pay the full face of the bonds besides paying the interest every year. "After that the road would still con tinue to pay taxes of $6,000 a year in this countv where now it pays nothing. Would that pay the county? Well, it looks very much like foolishness or a lack of patriotic spirit for anyone to say that we can't afford to vote the bonds." PRICE IS TOO HIGH. El Paso Citizens Have Trouble to Get Land for TTnion Depot. Kl Paso, Tex., July 16. The citizens' Union depot committee, apyiointed in the early stages of the project to help se cure the necessary property for the site, agreed some time ago to raise by sub scription all the money over $12,000 that TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY FEVER Hyomel Destroys Germs of the Dis ease and Keeps People Well. There can be little or no doubt as to hay fever being a germ disease. Is is, too, one disease where prevention is much easier than cure. All who are subject to this disagree able trouble, should use Hyomel daily for at least two or three 'weeks before the time of their annual attack. In this way the annoying paroxyisnis of sneezing, running at the nose and watery and smarting eyes can be avoided. This remarkable discovery makes It possible for anyo to breathe air at home which is almost identical with that of the Adirondacks or White Mountains or other resorts where hay fever sufferers go to escape their trouble. If, however, Hyomel has not been used until the disease has begun, it is necessary to use it more frequently, at hast half a dozen times daily, and Hy omel Balm should be rubbed into the nostrils both morning and night. This tieatment will relieve at once and will effect a cure in nearly every case. Geo. W. Stanstitld, diuggist, 632 Kans. avenue has a complete line of the Hyomel goods and will sell an outfit of inhaler, Hyomei and medicine dropper for $1.00 and will also agree to refund the money if the treament does not give satisfaction. Do not try to cure hay fever by dos ing the stomach. Breathe Hyomei ana in that way the medicine will reach the minutest air cells in the nose, throat and lungs, soothe and heal the irritated mucous membrane, and pre vent uud cure all hay fever troubles it would take to purchase the necessary land. The railroad companies stipulated in their agreement to build a union de pot and that $12,000 should be the max imum expense to which they should be put in the purchase of real estate. The committee figured on the valua tion of tile necessary property original ly and by a canvass of property own ers who would be benefited most by the building of a union depot, secured enough money to cover their estimate. The valuation set by the courts on the property of D. Storms in the condemna tion proceedings, and the price still de manded by a few other owners is, how ever, somewhat at variance with the original estimate of cost and the result is that the committee finds itself several thousand dollars short of the necessary amount to pay for the needed real estate. The committee considered the sum of $7,200 allowed bv the commissioners to D. Storms too much for the property and there was some talk of appealing the case to Judge Goggin's court. A committee was appointed to confer with J. J. Crawford and other owners of property on the site to see what the balance of the property can be secured for. As the matter now stands the com mittee will have to get out and raise more money from the citizens, as they have given their word to the railroad company to raise all necessary money over $12,000 for the purchase of real estate. The building committee of the Union Depot company will hold a meeting shortly and it is the desire of the citi zens to have the property matter set tled so that there may be no further delay in the matter of starting the structure. WANT MORE TICKETS. Santa Fe Shopmen at San Bernardino in Trouble About Picnic. There is blood on the moon up at the Santa Fe shops, says the San Bernar dino Sun. It is on account of the fact that Superintendent Beamer has, in the name of the transuortation depart ment, sent word to local headquarters that 2,000 will be the limit of tickets cir culated among the employes for the big picnic which is scheduled to take place at Redonda next Tuesday. He has also wired the information that,- as matters now stand, it will hardly be possible for the company to furnish more than 20 ca'S for the excursion. It is because of this that a large ma jority of the men employed at the lo cal plant are mad, very mad. This is their reason: They argue that at the present time there are, approxi mately, 800 men employed at the shops besides the clerical force and yard men. The families of these men will, at the least estimate, average three, while many have families of five, six and seven people. Bringing down the aver age as low as possible gives a total of 2.400 who are desirous of attending the picnic. Thus, if but 2.000 tickets are distributed, at least 400 w ill be without transportation and be obliged to re main at home. The men say all will go or none will attend. The hoilermakers and the ma chinists are the most resolute of all and have not, as yet, sent in a request for transportation. And they declare that they will not do so unless they re ceive assurance that all members of their families will be provided for. Yes terday Division Master Mechanic Todd, who is general manager of the picnic forces and general favorite with the men. wired for 1,000 more tickets. These were refused. Another feature which has caused much dissatisfaction is the announce ment that not over 20 coaches will ba available for the excursionists. This would put 100 people in a car if the crowd did not exceed 2,000, which is about thirty too many. HEAVY FREIGHT BUSINESS. Santa Fe Doing a Lot of Sheep and Orange Traffic. San Bernardino. Cal., July 16. Never in the history of the Santa Fe has there been so much freight business on the western division at this time of the year as is now the case. Just at pres ent stock shipments predominate, two trains averaging 18 cars, passing through the yards daily. The consign ments are made up entirely of sheep shippeil from Arizona and New Mexico. They are being taken to San Diego county where they are placed in pas ture. The orange shipments are keep ing up remarkably well considering the lateness of the season, 35 cars being iced and sent over the hill last night. The average consignments have been a few cars above this "batch" and there is no sign of abatement. Bf AY STORE WASTE WATER. Santa Fe May Build a Reservoir at Flagstaff, Ariz. R. B. Burns, chief engineer of he Santa Fe Pacific Railroad company, was in Flagstaff this week, says the Flagstaff Gem. He and George Bab-bitt-of the town council went out to the town reservoir to investigate the water proposition. There is about 200.000 gal lons of water going to waste daily, and it would be a business proposition cn the part of the railroad company to build a storage reservoir to store this waste water. No doubt Mr. Burns will recommend to the company an enter prise of this kind. If so. the early con struction of a reservoir may be expect ed. AGREEMENT DIDN'T SUIT. Canadian Minister of Railways Re signs Because Dissatisfied. Ottawa. Ont., July 16. Hon. A. G. Blair, minister of railways, has resigned his position in the cabinet. Efforts were mad to get a statement from Mr. Blair, but he refused to be interviewed. The ditiiculty between himself and his col leagues appears to have arisen over the eastern section of the Grand Trunk pro position. Mr. Blair has been opposed to the extension to Moncton, as he said that would be paralleling the govern ment line. AVhen last Thursday Mr. Blair did not take any part in the cau cus, it was suspected that the agree ment under consideration was not satis factory to him. CURTIS IS NAMED. Will Succeed Pulaski Leeds as Super intendent of Machinery. Louisville, Ky., July 16 Theodore Curtis, who has c harge of the installa tion of the machinery in the new Lou isville Nashville shops, will be ap pointed superintendent of machinery of i.lle I. A- tn tlrooH tViia l-ifa Plthtctl Leeds. Mr. Curtis was formerly employed in the shops of the Pennsylvania and Erie roads. The coroner's inquest into the killing of Mr. Leeds by George B. Warner, a discharged employe, resulted in the ver dict of "willful murder." Warner, who is in the city hospital, will recover. Conductors and Brakemen Win. Chicago, July 16. After a series of negotiations lasting over three months, the conductors and brakemen employed by the Illinois Ceneral railroad have been granted an increase in wages that will add over J200.000 to the annual pay roll of the company. Freight conductors are given 15 per cent increase when north of the Ohio river and 12 per cent south of the same line. Passenger con ductors receive an increase of 12 per cent for those working north of the Ohio, and 9 per cent south of it. "DECKY" ON A RAMPAGE. Smashed Up Some More Freight Cars at San Bernardino. San Bernardino, Cal., July 16. No. 9S8. the big Santa Fe decapod, had not bee non a rampage for some time. Per haps that is the reason why the mon-, ster made kindling wood out of several freight cars in the local yards a few days ago. No. 4. the regular east bound freight was starting up the I street lead with engines Nos. 2215 and 2182 at the head and the "Decky" bringing up the rear. As the train rounded the Fourth street curve the air hose broke its connection with the rear lead engine, putting on the emer gency and stopping the train. That is to say it stopped all of the train with the exception of the big decapod. It kept right on going up the track. The result was that the nressure from hp. hind was greater than the resistence offered by the backs of the cars and two or the latter collapsed. The dam age was not serious and as soon as the yard gang could clear away the debris and repair the air hose No. 34 went on ner way rejoicing. YOAKUM STORY REVIVED.

ALGER INVITES SCRUTINY. Resents Charges Made Against His Administration of War Office. Detroit, Mich., July 16. United States Senator Russell II. Alger has given out the following interview in regard to an editorial published in the current issue of Harper's Weekly charging practical ly that during the time Senator Alger was secretary of war, the government was defrauded out of millions of dollars on army contracts: "I hope that the matter will be in vestigated to the very bottom, in order that the facts may be fully demonstra ted. "I did not even know that any glove contracts had been made. Matters of detail of that kind were left to subordi nate officials and I suppose that many minor contracts were made without be ing submitted to the head of the de partment during the time when the army was being mobilized and when there was a great mass of business to be attended to. "However, I believe that the men who purchased the supplies during my ad ministration were as honest, conscien tious and efficient as any set of officials who ever served in the war depart ment." Conspiracy Charged. New York, July 16. Kleven men for whom summonses were issued on Mon day appeared before Justice Wyatt, of the court of special sessions today to explain charges of conspiracy against trade and commerce made by Morris Goldenberg, who charged that they, the Confectionery Jobbers Protective asso ciation, had combined to drive him out of business.

Ten Passengers Hurt Including George Thomas, of Topeka. Kansas City, Mo., July 16. Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 1 known as the Colorado limited which left this city at 6:30 last night for the west was wrecked at 7:30, ten miles south of here. Three coaches and the engine were de railed and ten persons were injured, three seriously. The accident occurred on a straight track near the approach to a bridge and the cause is unknown. Three Pullman cars which completed the train remained in the track. An engine was sent from here for the three Pullman cars and late last night the train left for the west over the Fris co tracks. The injured: Mrs. C. H. Matthews, Monte Vista, Colo., ribs broken, chest crushed; R. Boss, Texarkana, Ask., leg fractured; Mrs. Catherine Cole, Pu eblo, Colo., serious; Miss Bertha Hil debrand, Lincoln, Neb., back hurt: Mrs. H. Smith, Omaha, bruised: George Thomas, Topeka, (colored), cut and bruised; W. H. Lawrence, St. Louis, (colored), cut and bruised; M. D. Strik er, residence unknown, badly cut; B. Bate, residence unknown, bruised and cut: G. H. Boody, residence unknown, bruised and cut. The injured were brought to Kansas City, arriving here at 1:30 this morn ing. The cause of the accident is attributed to the wheels of the tender becoming loosened and tearing out a culvert. The engine, the disabled tender and two baggage cars ran on to the bridge span ning the Big Branch river where they were brought to a standstill. The mail car left the track and fell on its side. The masonry of the culvert was hit by the first passenger coach which sag ged into the opening about seven feet de-p. Four other passenger coaches crushed against it. It took ten hours to clear away the wreck. RIVERS ARE RISING. Republican and Solomon Com ii.g Up Rapidly. AT JUNCTION CITY. The Republican river is rising rapidly here and threatens to do considerable damage. G. A. Russell of the geological survey, is here taking measurements of the river. He reports that the river has risen five feet here, and he has received a message from the north that another rise of four feet was coming down the river. The river is flowing into the channel north of town, which it cut during the big flood, and is running across the road north of the Washing ton street bridge. A further rise of four feet will do considerable damage to some of the corn in the lowlands. AT MINNEAPOLIS. The Solomon river has risen over ten feet at this place during the past thirty hours. Very heavy rains have fallen in this part of the state during the past two days. Wheat harvesting is well un der wav, and threshing is in full blast. Wheat is tyrning out well, and is of a good quality. The late rains have been good for the corn crop. BELIEVES IN THE NEGRO. President Roosevelt's Letter to the "True Reformers.'' Washington, July 16 A large hall re cently erected by the United Order of True Reformers, a fraternal and bene ficial organization composed and man aged entirely by negroes, has been dedi cated here with elaborate ceremonies. President Roosevelt sent a letter regret ting his inability to be present and say ing: "1 most earnestly believe in all in dustrial and beneficial organizations of this character, whose purpose is to teach the lessons of thrift, economy, in dustry, self-dependence and self-reliance. No one can watch with more zealous interest than I do the progress of the colored race, and with the color ed man as with the white man, the first step must be for him to show his ability to take care of himself and those de pendent upon him." IN A RUSSIAN JAIL. An Appeal for Help from American Citizens. San Rafael, Cal., July 16. Geo. Mc Camish, whose relatives live here, has written them from a Russian prison at Vladivostock appealing for help. Al though the letter was written and mail ed six weeks ago it has just reached here. McCamish and two other Ameri cans sailed from Yokohama with per mission from the government of Japan to hunt fur animals in the Kurrie is lands. They were caught in a gale and swept toward the Russian islands where they eventually went ashore to get wa ter and other supplies. The Russians suspected them of sealing and threw them into jail. There they have since remained, half starved and shut off from any appeal to the representative of their government, doomed to long terms of imprisonment. An effort will be made to have the authorities at Washington act in the matter. Safeguard the Children.

The trip to Salt Lake City or to the Pacific coast via that point over the Denver Rio Grande system "The Scenic Line of the World." is the most beautiful in America. No European trip of equal length can compare with it in grandeur of scenery or wealth of novel interest. Then Salt Lake City itself is a most qutfint and picturesque place and well worth the journey. Its Mormon temple, tabernacle, tithing office and church institutions; its hot sulphur springs within the city limits: its de lightful temperature, sunny climate and fts Great Salt Lake deader and denser than the Dead Sea in Palestine are but a few features of Salt Lake City's count less attractions. There are parks, drives, canons and beautiful outlying mountain and lake resorts. Imagine, if you can, a bath in salt water a mile above sea level and in water in which the human body cannot sink.

DAMiiOlS KIDXEY DISEASES CURES if tfaU Pe-ru-na Creating: a National Sensation in tha i& Care of Chronic Ailments of tb.3 Major T. H. Mars, of the First Wis consin cavalry regiment, writes from 1425 Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the followini letter: 'For years I suffered with catarrh of the kidneys contracted in the army, nedicine did not help me any until a comrade who had been helped by Pe runa advised me to try it.

The Chronicle says: The grand jury by unanimous vote has decided to return indictments against Jacob Kppinper and Herman Kppinger of thefirm of Kppinger Co. for obtaining money under false pre tenses. There were 14 of the 19 grand jurors present. The indictments will be returned into court tomorrow afternoon to which time the jury adjourned. The crimes upon which the indictments of Jacob Eppinger and Herman Eppinger are based, are the obtaining of money under false pretenses from the Bank of Monterey and the National Banking corporation of this city. Ban Luis Obispo's Heavy Loss. San Luis Obispo, Cal., July 16. One sixth of the business portion of this city has been burned out with a loss of over J100.000. At one time it threatened to destroy the business center of the town and the flames were only subdued by the firemen after a hard fight. The cause of the conflagration is not known but is generally believed that it was created by small boys who built a fire on the bank of the creek under Childer's bicycle store.

Subscribers of the State Journal ataay during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like m daily letter from home. Gen. Nelson A. Miles Is something of m Rough Rider himself. Probably Gen. Mills' next move will be to go out and kill a few mountain lions. Gen. Miles' feat of riding on horse back 30 miles in nine hours may mean that he has designs on a presidential nomination. A race is on now to see which will be completed first, the railroad from Alas ka to Patagonia or the one from New York to Paris. It seems odd that Carnegie never thought of going into the north pole discovery business when he was trying to avoid dying rich. Py the slump in stocks which has been in progress on Wall Street for Borne days past the country has lost miliums of dollars on paper. Once more it has been demonstrated that it is useless to try to escape death. A woman who had reached the age of lnl slipped and fell on her doorstep yes terday and the shock killed her. In an apparent effort to correct the Impression that only negroes are lynch ed In the south a Kentucky mob has Just strangled a white prisoner. Ken tucky has always been jealous of her reputation. Many ways for getting General Bris tow out of the way of the postoffice hoodlers are being suggested. First it was the vice presidency and then the postmaster generalship, but he goes right along turning the rascals out, in the meantime. Russian newspapers are boasting of the czar's reform measure which sub stitutes the birch rod for the eat-o'- nine-tails in the flogging of prisoners. The czar appears to want to do better as far nsf he is able. Even monarchs can't always do exactly as they please. The Financial Review discussing the situation in China from the standpoint of its effect on American commerce Bays: "It is apparent our government is alert to the importance of pressing the open ioor in China and the integrity of that vast empire as a future market of Immense value to the United States. Russia's designs upon Manchuria with her established policy of rigid exclusion arc a direct menace to the future eom merclnl and industrial interests of the Vnited States, and nobody better ap ftrccintes this fiet than our astute sec letmy of state. Mr. Hay. There are plain rumblings of friction between this countiy and Russia, who evidently fears our inevitable domination of the Pa cific; but they need cause no special anxiety. Russia is financially weak, hav ing committed herself to unprofitable railroad and Industrial schemes on a stupendous scale, almost to the verge of bankruptcy. She is in no condition to Invite war with any first class power; the if suit of which would certainly be defeat and probable dismembership of A loosely conected empire. There is therefore little or no clanger of serious clitlii ully with Russia, and alarmist newspaper reports may be read with equanimity. The plain dealing and lirmntss of American diplomacy will probably accomplish what we desire Without serious friction." The banking capital of the United fUate has not only been greatly en larged during the past year, but there has been an Important increase in circu lation, says Clews' Financial Review, and the banks now have their resources under letter control than for a long jiei loci. Perhaps the greatest strength ening in the monetary situation has come from the payment of heavy for eign loans, of which no statistical rec ord such as the weekly bank Btatement Is available and which consequently escapes attention except by the initiated. Our borrowings, abroad, however, are a great many millions less than in 1901, and our ability to promptly redeem those obligations has vastly improved our credit abroad; a factor that will count In our favor in the future, for London already shows more partiality to make advances on American stocks. Jn the flood of pessimism which has lately broken loose. It is forgotten that curative forces have been quietly at work along with the decline; the in jured being still occupied with their own bruises and the uninjured naturally re dlining confidence slowly after the -lock of a thirty to forty points decline. Wavertheless, the cure baa been going on Just the same, and Is likely to show tangible results when other conditions ftvor. There Is now a distinctly better feeling amongst those who control the money market, and fear of extreme stringency during the coming fall is much less acute. Beyond possibly the usual firmness and activity witnessed during the crop moving period, there is likely to be little disturbance; while the limited volume of speculation in stocks and the less capital required to carry them makes pressure from that quarter more remote than usual. This explains the absence of concern at recent gold exports. Gold usually goes abroad at this season, and a slight advance In money rates would quickly stop the efflux; besides, we are always producing gold In large sums, and the annual Klondike output is now beginning to arrive. TIMBER CULTURE FOR RAIL ROADS. The bureau of forestry has continued this year on a far larger scale the ex periments In timber seasoning and pre servation for the railroads which it be gan last year under Dr. Hermann von Schrenk. This summer the work will be carried on in many states' east, south, and west and will be broadened In scope and made even more thorough than before. This work will be done for the New York Central, the Erie, the Baltimore Ohio, and the Pennsylva nia railroads in the east; and for the Illinois Central, the Santa Fe, the St. Louis San Francisco, the Missouri, Kansas Texas; the Northern Pacific, and the Burlington in the south and west. The scarcity of valuable timbers Is felt by no class of consumers more keenly than by the railroads, which use every year 110,000,000 ties merely to re new those worn out and decayed. The price of timbers has risen in some in stances to a figure which makes their use prohibitive; in other cases the sup ply is so nearly exhausted that the roads have been compelled to look about for new timbers. The bureau of forestry has been call ed on to assist in solving the difficulty, and has come forward with the veiy practical and simple suggestion that the railroads, instead of continuing to use expensive, high-grade timbers for such a low-grade purpose as that of railroad ties, shall use the cheaper woods. For example, to the complaint of the New York Central that it finds it more and more difficult to ecure longleaf-plne ties from Georgia at the price it can af ford to pay, the bureau suggests that the road use the beech, maple, and birch of the Adlrondacks. The complaint that the timbers rot very quickly when laid in the ground is answered by the sug gestion that they should be seasoned and preserved, just as beech is seasoned and preserved in France. The Great Eastern railroad of France has succeed ed in making beech ties last 35 years by impregnating them with tar oils. The unseasoned longleaf pine ties used by the New York Central last only five years; and the beech if laid green, with out seasoning or preserving, would in many cases last no more than three years. The substance of the proposal which the bureau has made to the rail roads, and which the railroads have thought so well of as to adopt, is that experiments be made to determine w hether cheaper timbers may be treat ed with preservatives at a cost so low and be made to last such a long- time, that it will pay to substitute them for the more expensive timbers now em ployed. The railroads have thought so well of these ideas that they will not only carry on under the bureau's direction the nec essary experiments in seasoning and preserving, but have engaged the bu reau's help In learning where cheap tim bers for ties may be obtained. In other words, the railroads have decided that if they can be convinced that it will pay to season and preserve cheap tim bers for ties, they will acquire large areas of timber lands on which they will grow their own trees, cut their own ties, and thus be assured of a steady supply. This means that some of the great railroads of the country are in a fair way to practice forestry on a very large scale, and to employ a great many foresters. JAYHAWKEB JOTS. With the first full September moon Oberlin is to have a street fair. The hobby of a demented, poverty stricken Oakley man is that his wife married him for his money. It took three buckets of lemonade to properly initiate a Jewell Master Ma son. The lodge stood the expense. A Mankato lunch counter continues in business with neither sandwiches, pie, doughnuts or coffee on the bill of fare. A Beloit family had a "mess of roast ing ears" Sunday from their own gar den and the Call reports them still alive. A Blue Mound man 83 years of age drives a team of horses over 21 year old hitched to a wazon of 33 summers' vintage. In a crate of eggs received at Abi lene this week was a lively little chick hatched in transit. Yes, it's fairly warm in Kansas. The Russell county harvest hand who curries two teams and milks six cows before his 5 o'clock breakfast thinks he earns his $3 a day. In order to keep their citizens from all departing to Gueda Springs, Wich ita announces the building of a propos ed health food idant. The editor of the Grant County Re publican puts In this tearful appeal: "Be square and bring home our square, we need it awfully bad." Two Franklin county boys killed three dozen rnbbits within a block's space in a half day. That means tho saving of many young fruit trees. One of the attractions of an Ellis Impaired Digestion May not be all that is meant by dyipepsi now, but it will be if neglected. The uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv oas headache, sourness of the stomach, an: disagreeable belching may not be very bai now, but they will be if the stomach is suffered to grow weaker. Dyspepsia Is such a miserable disease that the tendency to it should bo given early attention. This is completely over come by Hood's Sarsaparilla which strengthens thewhole digestive system county harvest field Is a man of seven feet, nine inches in his bare feet. In the winter he travels with a dime museum. What Hays City needs is a harvest of weeds. They seem to have taken the town and several cases have been re ported of lost children on the main streets. Henry Allen says In glaring head lines in his Ottawa Herald, "We must clean up." That is generally consid ered a pretty good idea in these per spiring July days. Jewell county has other features to brag over besides the wheat crop. A North Star housewife has a red Ram bler rose with 83 buds and blossoms up the side of her kitchen. A Paola youth of 13 has been arrest ed on the charge of stealing a horse and raising a check of $9 to $190. Precocious boys are all very well in a way but even this matter can be overdrawn. A Dickinson county woman who climbed the hay loft to toss some feed to the horses fell down the chute and broke her arm. This couldn't possibly have happened at dishwashing. To a man who has been married awhile it hardly seems possible that a couple should call out a probate judge at mtdnieht to be made one. But this is what happened at Dodge City. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Our idea of life this weather is a job at the court house. So many people enjoy fishing. Isn't it a pity that fishing is so poor? A woman's summer clothes always look well, but a man's look mighty tou;rh. An Atchison girl who refuses to have a stepmother has had her way five yean:. If a woman has nerve, the chances are ten to one that she uses it to an offensive degree. A woman's secret hope is that if she should die, her husband would kill him self from grief. As a rule, investigation will reveal that every loafer is imposing on some industrious woman. It did no good to fight the corset; would it do any good to fight the French heels the girls are wearing? No woman knows so little about a man's clothes that she doesn't know in which Docket he carries his money. An Atchison man Is so polite and agreeable that he reminds people of Cal ifornia's fine climate: they tire of it. A whistle to an engine is like tha vermiform appendix to a man; it is of no earthly use, and serves only to annoy. It is generally admitted when a crowd of young people get together, that it is easier to work mother than it is to work father. These days, when a girl dresses cool, her mother screams, "Go right back and put on another skirt. I can see clear through you." If you want to get up a row with a man, say his wife doesn't know how to make coffee. But in fifty cases out of a hundred it is true. Have you been "mentioned" for vice president? This is an honor coming to every man who owns a horse and buggy and has two chimneys on his house. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Reeord.l Seashore tan is being accumulated. Pie is apt to make the dyspeptic crus ty. Seeing Is believing, especially in a po ker game. It is possible for a man to be square and still be cornered. It is easier to make a -new promise than to mend a broken one. Some people are attracted to auction sales out of more-bid curiosity. An epigram is generally an old friend masquerading in false wmskers. An idle rumor gains currency, which is more than can be said of an idle man. The more friends a woman has the more dangerous it is to tell her a secret. No. Maude, dear: it is not the break ers that cause a fellow to go broke at the seashore. The girls with high ideals are gen erally too homely to ever think of get ting married. Now does the busy summer girl Improve each shining minute. And gives her landing net a whirl, To catch a husband in it. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOP. From the New York Press. A woman's figure seldom feels the way it looks. Housewives are very foolish not to form a labor union against their cooks. Suffering' for some one she loves is woman's greatest joy, and men give her lots of it. Being in a girl's bedroom makes a bachelor as uncomfortable as being asked to hold the baby. With half the women that get mar ried they are too good for their hus bands, and with the other half their husbands are not good enough for them. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. J Where strong men have wills weak ones hnve wishes. Small ideas and big words make a pain ful combination. A man seldom begins to show his temper until he loses it. No man can be happy unless he is on good terms with his stomach. Poverty may be all right as a theory, but practically It's all wrong. Laboring under a mistake is the most unprofitable of all employments. Speech Is silver and the free and unlim ited coinage thereof is something terri fic. Even when a woman is up against a lot of worry she doesn't forget to see that her hat is on straight. Philanthropic Tasto Spurned. Kindhearted women some years ago endeavored to brins joy to the little tenement house victims by presenting hundreds of them with pretty new hats at Easter, something over a half dozen of the ladles acting as volunteer milli ners. In the pursuance of their charity they toiled early and late, depriving themselves of rest and many pleasures. For three years the hat distribution was continued, but this year only plants were distributed. The hat beneficiaries became very critical, suggested models and trimmtngs, and would not always accept their gifts, and when exchang ing them among themselves would make the transfer after they left the meeting place. In some instances the little mothers refused positively to have aught to do with the eift. and left it. Naturally such behavior discourage! the amateur milliners, and they aban doned their unappreciated task. The Vogue. Johnny Toole, the favorite farceur of England, as Ned Sotheru used to be here, tells a new "Mrs. Mnlaprop" story. He wished to give one of his books to a po liceman who had been uncommonly civil, and fret alc?d: "H you like reminiscences?" "I likes 'em all right," replied the po liceman, "but it's past closing time aid there's no public houso open." wirn Topics. DRUGSTORES NOW Police Hare AH Pharmacies Under Close Scrutiny. Violators of Prohibitory Law Will lia Prosecuted. RAID HAS ITS EFFECT. After Ona Store Was Pulled Others Were Cautious. Jointists Seemingly Not Alarm ed by Visits of Officers. Chief Goff announced to-day that he had been instructed to move against drug stores caught selling liquor with out permits as a common nuisance, and that the arrest of the men in charge of the Opera House drugstore next to the Crawford opera house was just a sample of what is to follow. Chas. Hlnes, proprietor of the Opera drug store, was arrested on a warrant this morning. "We will also go after drugstores with permits, which are caught selling il legally." said Chief Goff. "I dislike to pile up so many arrests before the next term of the district court, but I see no other way, as complaints are being made to the mayor all the time. In the Hines case I found out that he was selling liquor and then ascertained in the probate court that he had no per mit. The arrest last night was the re sult of the investigation, and others may follow." It is a certainty that the pulling of the Opera drug store had a wholesome effect for last night a person Interested in the affair made the rounds of the drug stores later in "the evening. The lights were all out In the rear rooms, no drinking was allowed in the stores, and only a "bosom friend" could get a bottle of beer to take outside without leaving his signature. The scared con dition did not extend to the regular joints, however, although three of them had been raided during the evening. The bartenders continued to play before crowded houses. The joints visited by the police Wednes day night were Lonergan's. at 115 Hast Sixth; The Magnet, and Uterman's place over the Opera drug store. All of them re sumed business atter the arrests, when the beer wagon backed up and unloaded a fresh supply before the patrol wagon with the eoods on hand was hardly out of sight. It is an extremely hard proposition the police have to deal with just now. The jointists seemingly do not intend to quit, and the only thing left is to raid them every day, piling up evidence which usual ly gets badly mixed before the cases reach the district court. A policeman who is called upon to assist in a dozen or more joint raids every week for two months is liable to forget some detail on which the case hinges. The members of the council gave evi dence of considerable suspicion of tho business of the liquor selling drug stores when at their last meeting a resolution was adopted ordering the imposition of a license tax of $25 per month upon ail drug Btores holding a permit to sell intoxicants- City, Attorney Soencer has since been at work on the, preparation of an ordinance covering the matter. Upon in vestigation Mr. Spencer has found that the $25 fee is considerably higher than that customarily assessed against drug stores in Kansas towns where anything of the kind is in effect. The Kansas supreme court affirmed the validity of an ordinance of the town of Sedan which assessed its liquor selling (ln;g stores $0 per year. There is a question among the, council men about the ii0 license proposed for Topeka being so high as to be regarded as prohibitive. This ordinance will be taken up and seriously discussed Friday night in the council meeting and some conclusion reached as to the proper amount of the drug store tax. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

HOUSES NEEDED. Scarcity of Homes in Topeka for Kent. Agencies Can Not Meet the Con stant Demand. A GOOD INVESTMENT Tenanted Properties Bring in a Steady Income. Even Small Cottages Are in Great Demand. Houses for rent are at this time and have been for several months back one of the most profitable financial invest ments to be made in Topeka. The only complaint of the real estate agents is that they have not more houses to let. The man owning unimproved real estate is besieged with demands that he build houses upon it. It is far easier to rent a house than to sell a piece of ground for building purposes. Contrary to the general and natural supposition that the present situation is the direct result of the flood most of the real estate agents say that this con dition prevailed for months before the flood which put most of the rented houses in North Topeka out of use for a time. The flood naturally made the demand for houses on the south side somewhat greater, temporarily at least, but that excess is gradually lessening. W. S. Bergundthal said this morning that he believed the North Topeka rent ers would all be back in North Topeka inside of the next sixty days. The house building that has been go ing on in Topeka steadily during the last two years, and more, has been principally done by people who intend ed to live in the houses they built. There has been no diminution in the number of the renting population, which has, if anything, been on the increase. A number of real estate agents were called on this morning to give opinions regarding the situation. Louis Strauss, of the Strauss agency, said: "We are short of houses to rent and I think everyone else is, too, just now. The inhabitants of North Topeka are being taken care of on this side and greatly increases the demand for resl dence rentals. There has been a strong call for rented houses all spring but of course it is greater now than ever." W. S. Bergundthal: "I don't know chat the situation i3 particularly alarm I ing. There are few houses to let. There are a good many North Topeka people on this side, but these will be back ln side the next- sixty days. They are leaving this side already." E. E. Roudebush said: "Houses for rent have been scarce all this year. We had difficulty in supplying the demand before the flood and as far back as last winter. Houses for renting are cer tainly good investments at the present time and have been for a good while back. I see no reason why they will not continue to be -for a good while to come." At the G. M. Noble real estate agency the statement was made that rented (louses are in very great demand at this time and have been for a long while, that most of the building being done in the residence districts is by persons who are building for themselves so that the supply of available properties for rent is not increasing Tapidly. Harry Barnes of the J?arnes real es tate agency said: "The flood filled the empty houses on the south side of the river with people driven from their homes in North Topeka. although there were only a very few houses not occu pied before that. But the call for houses to rent on the part of strangers who iave just moved into town is greater than ever." ARMY OF SANTIAGO Holds Its Annual Reunion Detroit, Mich. at Detroit, July IS.

Louisville, Ky., July 16 The second day's session of the Republican state convention opened with the prospects of further excitement to be furnished by the report of the committee on cre dentials. The committee sat until mid night last night hearing evidence in the contest waged by the Belknap and Wlllson forces over the Louisville del egation. The final vote on the matter resulted 7 to 5 in favor of seating the Belknap delegates. Heightened by Governor Bradley's per sonal popularity and the semi-stampede of yesterday the Willson forces have deter mined to carry the fight over the Louis ville delegation to the floor of the conven tion, and the five members of the commit tee on credentials who voted for the Will son delegation prepared a strong minority report, It having been arranged that Gov ernor Bradley should lead the fight. The night was spent by the Belknap managers in strengthening their fences and bolstering up the weak spots. There was a general shifting of the lines last night, the Willson and Pratt men taking renewed courage after yesterday after noon's Bradley demonstration. They are claiming that the vote for temporary chairman was not a fair test, and that Mannor Owens received mar?y votes from a large personal following, the majority of which were against Belknap. While the delegates were waiting for the call today, former Governor Bradley en tered and was given an ovation scarcely less enthusiastic than the one of yester day. The convention was called to order at 10:15 a. m, but as the committees were not ready to report an adjournment was taken until this afternoon. SHORT CORN CROP. That Is the Prediction of Secre tary of Agriculture Wilson. Washington. July 16. Secretary Wil son, who has returned from a trip that included Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, said to day that while the farming conditions are generally good and some of the crops have a large yield, the corn crop will be short. "The abnormally cool weather," he said, "has retarded the development of the corn crop. Along the valleys the crop has been destroyed and on tne level lands that have been saturated, the corn will not mature. The best corn is along the dry rolling lands but even there the cool season has prevented the crop from being what it should be at this time. We may have an average crop, if the weatiier in the future is favorable, but if it continues cold it is hard to say to what extent thjre will be a shortage. The grass crop will be the finest for many years. The cool weather has favored the growth of oats, wheat and barley and that class of products. The w.ieat crop generally Is good, altogether the outlook for the farmer is good. We have been paying JS.000,000 annually for macaroni. We are growing all of our own macaroni this year." KENNETH UIVENS DROWNED Lost His Life While Swimming in Kansas River. Kenneth Givens, the 11-year-old son of J. M.

The boy was wading in shallow water and stepped off into a de-v hole. Some of his companions attempced to rescue him, but failed, and he was drowned within ten feet of safety. A number of men and boys dived and dragged the spot where he went down during the afternoon, and last night boats and graplings hooks were used but without recovering the body. The search is still in progress, and Mr. Givens, the father of the drowned boy, has offered a re ward of $25 for the recovery of his son's body. SUA W WON'T TALK.

A" JONS OFJUTTER. Continental Creamery Co's Capa city 100,000 Pounds a Day. Ten Churns That Each Make 1,000 1'ouuds an Hour. YERY LITTLE WASTE. Curd Is Hade Into Collar Uuttons and Combs. Plant and Working Force to Be Enlarged. There is all the difference in the world in methods and processes. If your information alout butu-r making is confined to hazy recollections of the unwelcome churning day of your boy hood on the farm when mother tied a big checkered gingham apron around yonr waist and you worked the dasher of a five gallon stone churn with in different zeal for four hours and a half, there would probably be some sur prises in store fur you in c ase you vis ited a bic, moiji rn creamery. For things ore iion differently there. To illus trate: The process of butter ma king on thrt farm is accomplished in from three days to a week, according to con- Churn ditions, from the time the foaming mi'.k Is brought in from the barnyard unti the churning is done and the butte? "worked." In a creamery the fresh milk that is received at 9 o'clock in the morning may be made into butcer by noon. You get some idea of the size of the institution when you are told that the Continental Creamery company, of To eka. employs i;:.o people. Not all these re imaged in the making and packing of butter. .About VA fire comprised in the office force, for the Continental v pounds ot its best butter for the New York and San Francisco navv yards. Part of this order, nai bs.i in three-pound circular tins, is now in the com storage room at the c reamery waning snuiment in iu)fh;i to ulP ream cry. About six carloads of milk are received in a day and J-o.OeO pounde of butter are manufactured on an a v rage t'oni' iimn as high as lO'i.ooo pounds are Eia ie and packed in a day. .-rrer the milk is brought in ami run I'HIIS- as every- on" kTinus! i-Vi.i L-n, nnything about butter making, cream in ord r to be ready to churn must lie just s i sour. Tnere is a great deal of vexation After the cream has been ripen properly by the introduction of t Ftarter it goes to the churn.

It ranges from JO per cent, to o per cent The Continental creamery- has twenty freigr.t cars in service :,u the timp anf fix wagons are kept busy every day hauling milk from the different ex- t milk from the cream the latter is weighed I and a sample nken for testing "and! it g it ,s to t're pastut i-iz -r, which purifies I it of g.'i-ms, and then to the co..r. i With primitive methods the trouble I would ci ly be begun at this stage 1h- caused in everv small dairy by cream that is too sour or not sour enough. It is brought to just the proper oegr.-e. of acidity at the creamery- by the I addition of what is known as "starter There ai.i v-..-.. i all th" time and into every vat of cooled I and pasteurized cream a sufficient I ouantity ot this ingredient is added to "turn" the whole quantity. Just the 1 right degree. "Starter" is pure but- termilk made from sweetmilk to which a very little of the commercial lactic churns run by twenty horse power elec tric motors. They churn and "work" the butter at the same time. Only a few minutes are necessary for the pro cess owing to.the fact that all the con ditions have been ascertained to be scientifically perfect for butter making. There is no tedious waiting for butter that refuses to "come." When the churning and the working is completed wooden vats on wheels are run along the side of the churn and the butter is loaded upon them and taken to the cool ing loom where if is reduced to the proper temperature for packing. Pound bricks cf butter.the usual mar ketable form, are molded by hand ma chines which make twenty-five bricks at a time. Two men. each manipulating a print machine, can more than keep busy four girls employed in wrapping the molds in. paraffine paper. After the butter has been wrapped in two thick nesses of paper It is sent up to the carton room where about fifty girls, in spotless white caps and aprons which all the employes are required to wear, sit on either side of a long table, the centes of which is a moving inclined plane, and place the paper covered pound bvicks In the cartons. thelroutside covering. The cartons are folded into sh iv by four girls who sit on a little platform at the top of the inclined plane and toss the rectangular pasteboards upon the moving table to be carried along to the workers who replace them with the butter wrapped and ready for market. The frade mark seal is attach ed at the end of the table. It is all done wiih incredible swiftness and apparent ease. Most of the other packing, in ash or spruce tubs, or in the circular tins such as are used to fill the government orders, is done by machinery. One ma chine claps the tors on the tins and seals them. There is a room filled with supplies the tubs, cubes, tir.s. cartons, paper and other things necessary for ,j Hiii i i 1 ii Ro am. packing which are purchased by the car lot. After the butter is packed it goes into a cooling room and is kept for a day or two to test the parking, after which the leaking packages are sorted out for re packing and the rest goes to the cold storage room. A n?yv cold storage room is among the additions to the plant now in process of construction. The building is being greatly enlarged but the addi tions will not be completed for several months. All the residue of the creamery butter, the sweet milk and the butter milk are made into curd orcasein. Curd doesn't look very much like the "curd and whey" which "Liule Miss Muffet" was eating the time she had the ex citing encounter with the big spider. It looks more like dry bread crumbs than anything else. But it finds a ready market because there are about 6r articles of manufacture which are made from it. Among them are col lar buttons, combs and paper sizing. s,o it was really very careless of Little Mi's Muffet to use anythins bo useful for mere food. PRIEST ARRESTED. Father Henry Offended City Dog Catcher Younkin. For the first time since the ToDeka police department was organized the name of a Catholic priest is on the jail docket. Father Francis Henry, of the German Catholic church at Third and Van P.uren streets, yvas arrested Wednesday for "refusing to pay dog license." The arrest yvas made at the instigation of M. E. Younkin, the city dog catcher, who filed the complaint. The warrant was served by Officer Hutton. who did net bring the offender to the station, as in ordinary cases, simply notifying him to appear before the judge of the police court in answer to the charge. Younkin claims that Father Henry owns, or at least harbors, two female dogs, which are taxable at $5 each, and refuses to pay more than the tax re quired for male dogs, Jl each, and pos itively refused to talk to him when he called at the priest's residence to in vestigate. Father Henry has seen the mayor ar.d police judge in reference to the case, and has promised to eithet kill the dogs or pay the amount claimed by the collector ii the near future. When asked about the affair this morning Chief Golf said that it didn't amount to anything, and he preferred that there be no publicity about tho arrest of the priest POLICE J0TTIHGS. Judge Hamilton Decides to Punish Hyatt's Assailants. Mr. Smith Fined $30. for Caus ing the Trouble. WATER HAUL RAIDS. Officers Failed in Some Instan ces to Find Liquors. Patrol Wagon Sot Equal to the Heayy Strain. Judge Hamilton has evidently decided to abate the nuisance commonly known as the "Parkdale gang." He made a good start this morning by soaking Mr. W. H. Smith $30 and costs for assisting in the disturbance of last Sunday night, when the "Gang" serenaded Mr. S. F. Wyatt et al at Fifth and Lake. It ap peared, according to the testimony, that Mr. Smith thought he had a mortgage on Miss Minerva Jackson. But he dis covered that he had another think com ing when he met her on the street Sun day afternoon with Mr. Wyatt. At the time he warned her that there would be trouble before morning. After which Mr. Smith gathered his trusty hench men and "laid" for Mr. Wyatt at the Jackson home. About. 10 o'clock when Mr. Wyatt escorted the lady to her domicile they were present, and started things. They invited Mr. Wyatt to come out or be dragged out, laid out and spread out. M. Wyatt wisely forebore from answering to the invitation, and remained intrenched in the Jackson home until the gang had dispersed. Smith is the only member of the bunch captured up to date, and his sad fate may cause the other members to spread their wings and fly away. Last night the police embraced the op portunity offered by the general open state of affairs, and made some raids. Two of these raids were "water hauls." nothing being found to warrant an ar rest, but four different places fell be neath the axe.

Oft the stomachs fast ened to them, Keep them doping all the time." Wall Street Poet. The grind for money and fame nowa days works the brain so hard that it takes away the power from the stomach and so Financiers, Lawyers, Doctors, Mercants, Great Actors, School Teach ers and even thinking and successful Farmers suffer from a lack of power to digest food. Fact! Fact! Fact! and a deplorable fact. But there's a way out of it. An old thoughtful money maker was an invalid for about 8 years. During this time and four years after, he studied Foods, Hy- I giene. Dietetics, Medicine and Suggest ive Therapeutics. He got well and dur ing the 12 years of experience and study developed a way for brain workers to keep well. He has been over the hard and rough roadway step by step. Does his experience count for anything? Can he point you to the rocks that ruin men? Can he guide you to safe and healthful channels? Since he got well he has made 10 or 12 million dollars which is one evidence of the practical results and literally thousands of brain workers in America and England date their recovery to health and money making power from the day they began to follow his advice. What is it? First quit coffee absolutely. It slowly and surely exhausts the elements in brain and nerve centres that must be there or brain fog follows. In order to do this take up Fostum Coffee for it supplies the phosj hates and other ele ments needed to naturally, by food in liquid form, rebuild the broken down gray matter in brain and nerve centres. This same is true of Grape Nuts breakfast food. Set up your breakfast like this: A little fruit, cocked preferred. A dish of .Grape-Nuts (not a large one) with some thick, rich cream (insist on it) a cup of hot Postum Coffee with thick cream, one or tyvo soft eggs. Noth ing more unless it be a slice of entire wheat bread. The same for luncheon, then for the night dinner have a good generous portion of meat, one or two vegetables, a Grape-Nuts pudding and a cup of Fostum Coffee and insist on the thick cream. You will digest these meals, sleep like a baby and find the next day that some thing has been' going on in your body that gives you the delicious sense of power and health and you can in a masterful way "do thingn" and get re sults. Is it worth while? The masters of mankind.are first masters of themselves and put into practice the knowledge of trained experts in the art of body and brain buildinsr. You can rule if you will. You must have a healthy body and brain to do it. "There's a reason" and its Just good old common sense. Stmt. IPS nC store, the first of its kind pulled under the present administration, was ad judged a nuisance, and E. Barbour, and Ollie Richardson, colored, together with a choice assortment of whisky and other beverages, were taken down the line. Nick Lonergans' place on East Sixth avenue was called upon, and resulted in two kegs of hop tea. Henry Schnoor was picked at the place commonly accredited to H. Uterman. The police were quite active until a late hour, and Judge Hamilton was called from his downy bed of ease in the midst of the night to approve bonds. The old patrol wagon, which has seen some hard service during the past ten years, jumped its job last evening while en route to gather a plain drunk. About 6 o'clock the wagon was sent to the Santa Fe junction in North Topeka. Several policemen jumped on to ride to their beats on the North side, but when the Black Maria rounded the corner at Lau rent and Kansas avenue the rear wheel WRECK OF THE PATROL WAGON. gave up the ghost. The policemen aboard were shuffled and dealt to the dustv street in clusters, and then began a search for a wheel to use on the return trip. A wheel about three feet high was finally secured, and the wagon was a subject for mirth as it came home, sagged down at one corner. White, the driver, hustled around and borrowed a furniture wagon for the night service. Messrs. Andy Dupree. George Dupree and Sherman Burns, who .was bartender for Harve Wheeler, got theirs in police court last evening. The usual $100 and 30 days applied to each. J. C. Cry, who is old and crippled, was iet off because there was no testimony to mar his fair story, in which he named the seven cold ones found at his place as liquid kept for pri vate consumption. NO HOPE FOR SILVER. American and .Mexican Commis sion Can't Do a Thing. Berlin, July 16. The American and Mexican International silver exchange commissions met the representatives of the German government for the first conference to-day. Germany was rep resented by President Koch and Di rector Lumm, of the Reichsrath; Privy Councillor Dombois of the Imperial treasury; Count Von Roedern of Prus sian finance ministry; Prof. Helfferich of the Colonial bureau; Roland Lucke of the Deutsche bank; Arthur Salomon sohn of the Disconto-Gesellschaft and Franz Urbig of the German-Asiatic bank The conference lasted an hour and was then adjourned until Saturday. The Associated Press correspondent learns that Germany's representatives recog nize the desirability of fixing the rate of exchange betweeh silver and gold coun tries but regard a scheme in that direc tion merely as a pious wish. From a trustworthy German source the corres pondent is informed that the British and French governments flatly refused to obligate themselves to the purchase of a fixed amount of silver yearly for Indian and colonial coinage. This is one of the commission's proposals, yvhich is intended to stabilize the ratio between silver and gold. Germany's delegates recognize that absolutely nothing is possible without the cooper ation of Great Britain and France and it is not believed here that the com mission's work will lead to the call ing of an international conference. Baron von Rheinbaben, the Prussian fi nance mfhister. has invited the commls. sion to dinner on Friday and 17. S. charge d'affaires Dodge has extended a dinner invitation ior Monday.

After transr acting some pressing official business with Secretary Barnes. President Roosevelt passed the remainder of the day in com pany with Senator Lodge of Massachu setts, who arrived here this morning. The senator said that his visit was of no par ticular significance.

BUSINESS PROFITABLE Lires In Pleasant House on a Fashionable Street. Claims to Ilaye Been Born With Wonderful Powers. Prominent Topeka business men and well known society people throng to the home of a colored woman who claims to be a "medium" for the purpose of be ing advised in business and love af fairs. A Topeka race horse owner con sults her about entering his horses in races. Two of the wealthiest and most prominent business men in Topeka ask her advice on business matters. Mrs. R. A. Matteson who lives at 1535 Topeka avenue is the one whose advice is sought. The circular which adver tise her powers of second sight and abilty to read the past and foretell the future make the assertion that she is a "natural born medium." But she can't explain it herself. "I'm no trance medium," says Mr3. Matteson. '"I've jes got d' power. I've always had it, since 1 was a little girl. I was born with it. My power comes from God. I don't believe in nothin' but d' Lord God and his Book." "Do you use the Bible in giving your readings?" the spiritualist was asked. "Cain't neither read nor write," she answered. "Never could be learned to read nor write. Went to school and tried to learn but I was free born and all my powers come from d' Lord." Mrs. Matteson does not claim to be tho seventh daughter of a seventh daughter nor to have been born with a cowl and does not account for her gift of second sight in any of the usual ways. "I was born with it," she says, "and I can't tell you myselt how it is." Revelations come to her in the form of visions, some times obscure but re curring and recurring until she is able to interpret them She tells many won derful incidents of her powers: how she has restored money to- this one; warned that one of impending danger or death; saved another from unlucky business transaction, and warned women of un fortunate love affairs or marriages. Her patrons are among the most prominent people in Topeka. "I don't have no trash comin' here," she says. "It's d' best people that consult me and I don't want no others around. People from all over the country come to me and write to me. This very day I had a letter from a Boston banker about a lawsuit that means $60,000 to him." "How tan you tell what's In the let ters if you can't read the reporter asked. "Hoyv can I tell? How can I tell d' past and d' future and describe people I've never seen? All I ask is for them to put their names in the letters and I'll know thei secret .trouble and can ad vise them." The medium is 56 years old. She was born in Virginia but not of slave par ents. She repeats and insists an an im portant point that she was "free born." She has lived in Topeka for 31 years except for occasional trips over the country. She has a home in Washing ton, D. C, where the story goes her ad vise is sought by those high In the councils of the state. She does not deny that her revelations have had their part in shaping history. She claims to have foretold McKinley's election and warned him of his assassination. Her assertion that the, best people in the toyvn have been her patrons is prob ably true. Almost every one in Topeka knows of her and many acknowledge to have gone to her for readings, either for a lark or with a superstitious belief in her power. It is said that among her regular patrons is one of the richest men in the state who goes to her for frequent readings and never under takes a business enterprise without con sulting her. Gamblers and racing men are also credited with relying upofi her revelations and women seek her out for advice in the conduct of their love at f airs. All the woman's talk is hazy and her answers to questions evasive. She re fuses to disclose the names of her pat rons and deals in metaphor and clothes her thoughts in mystic language. Fix ing her bright black eyes upon you she narrows her lids and lowers her voice to a mvsterious whisper while she voices some vague remark which is impressive in spite of its non-sensicality. The ne groes are said to hold her in great awe and to be firm believers in her powers although she holds herself aloof from them, lives in a fashionable part of town in a comfortable and yvell built cottage with a white husband. Her business is auite profitable. She has four children by a former husband whom she married when she was four teen years old but none of them, she says, inherit her peculiar powers. X011TII TOPEKA.

Not so much property is offered for sale noyv as immediately after the flood. Property oyvners are getting over their first fright and in many cases houses that yvere listed for sale a short time ago have been taken off the list. There is a scarcity of houses in the northyvestei n part of toyvn. One man who lived in the fifteen hundred block on Tyler street says before the flood there were nine houses in his block and now there is only one, the other eight having disappeared in the flood. There has always been a difference of opinion among north siders as to the identity of the statue In the Union Pa cific park. Some have claimed she rep resented Hebe and others Daphne. Since the flood this question might be settled by calling her Venus de ililo as she is minus her arms. Work is progressing as rapidly as possible in cleaning up the street, but the scarcity of men retards this work considerably. Yesterday twenty-six teams were working and extra men were hired. The men after working about an hour decided they didn't care for that kind of employment and quit. Charles Gerteisen and mother, Mrs. Gerteisen, who have been stopping at tha Chesterfield hotel since the Hood, re turned yesterday to their home on Mad ison stTeet. Mr. Geiteisen has been busy for the past month painting and other wise repairing his house and in another month expects to have everything In good shape including fences and other outside improvements. The new rule of the street railway company that cars will not stop any where except at street crossings went into effect yesterday. As there ere only Tour blocks and a half of line in use on this side and the worst part of the trip to the south side, that is, the bridge, has to be walked, it would seem that the railway company might make some concessions and not enforce this new rule so strictly at present as under different conditions. This rule is not generally knoyvn and when people wait in the middle of the block for the car only to be left and then start to the crossing to take it. it would seem that the car might wait for them there. Such is not the case, however, and when the yy-ould be passengers are making every effort to reach the car the conductor will ring up and leave them to wait un til next time. Paul, the fourteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Forbes, died this morn ing between 8 and 9 o'clock at the fam ily home on the Rochester road. The cause of his death was lockjaw, the re sult of a wound made by a blank cart ridge on July 3. No serious results yvere apprehended from this shot and the boy who had a Journal route in Shorey car ried his papers every evening until last Saturday yvith the exception of the Fourth. Last Sunday a change for the worse set in and lockjaw developed. Since then the attending physician gave no hope for his recovery. Although the boy's sufferings were intense he bore them all without murmuring and when he realized he yvould never be better he called his family to him and told them all good by.

Other Grains Followed the Lead of This Cereal. Provisions Were Nerrous and Erratic from Yesterday. Npw Ynrk, July IS. Material improve ment was nhown by the stock market at today's opening. Factors that made for better prices were the higher range for Americans in London and yesterday's late assurances of sound local financial con ditions. Marked gains were registered in the early tradiuK and commission houses reported good Investment buying. At the banks the f ling was rather more cheer ful. The i-ale of a small lot of Wahash pfd. under the rule excited some alarm, as it was feared that a stock exchange house had suspended, but the sale of this particular block of stock was reported later to have resulted from a dispute as to price on the floor of the exchange. The market solft off soon after the open ing, however, on rumors that some bisr railroad loans were impending. Special pressure was brought to bear upon I'nion j "arinc ana woiitnern 1'aoinc largely as the result of yesterday's $10.oo0,0 loan enlarge ment. Other weak stocks included Rock Island and tractions.

Two Serious Charges Against Garden Citj Doctor Dismissed. Will Not Answer to Perjury and Murder Counts. HINGES ON CONDUCT. Question Whether He Yiolated Ethics of Profession. Trial Likely to Be Long and Closely Contested. Dr. Robert E. Gray, of Garden City, won the opening struggle in what promises to be a very sensational trial before the state board of medical ex amination this morning, which is con sidering the advisability of taking away the doctor's license to practice medi cine in the state of Kansas. Two of the most serious charges against Dr. Gray were dismissed by the board. They were charges labelled "E" and "D" in the complaint, and pertain ed, respectively, to the alleged perjury which Dr. Gray committed on the wit ness stand in the Irma Brown murder trial, and the charge of murdering Irma Brown and an infant child. DR. ROBERT E. GRAY.- The ruling of the board eliminates from consideration the question of whether Gray was guilty of Irma Brown's murder. The board holds, however, that all the incidents leading up to Irma Brown's death can be pre sented as tending to show that Dr. Gray was guilty of immorality and un professional conduct. The morning session of the board commenced at about 10:30. Dr. Gray was present, having arrived this morn ing from Garden City. His attorney, who defended him in the murder trial, and secured his acquittal, A. W. Mars ton, of Chicago, was present, as was also A. L. Redden, of Topeka, who was retained by the defense Wednesday af ternoon. The state was represented by As sistant Attorney General Pestana and Attorney Brown, who has been retained by Garden City parties interested in the case, presumably the relatives of Irma Brown, who are said to be trying to drive Dr. Gray out of the state. When the hearing rommenoeH rr D. P. Cook, of Clay Center, chairman of the board, was absent, and Dr. G. P. Johnson, of Lakin was chosen as acting president. Later, Dr. Cook came in, and took his chjir. Since the trial of the Meffert case, the personnel of the board has changed somewhat. Dr. E. B. Packer, of Osage City, is no longer chairman. The' mem bers are Dr. G. F Johnson of Lakin. Dr. D. P. Cook of Clav Center, Dr. E B Packer of Osage City. Dr. F. P. Hat field of Grenola, Dr. O. F. Lewis of Hepler, Dr. N. L. Jones of Norton, and Dr. T. E. Rains of Concordia. Dr. Lewis s secretary. CHARGES AGAINST GRAT. There were five charges in the origi nal bill against Dr. Gray. They were as follows: A. Immorality ana' unprofessional con duct. B. Use of drugs, rendering him in competent to discharge the duties of his profession. C. Adultery with one Mary Reming ton. D. Murder of Irma Brown by a crim inal operation. E. Perjury at trial for murder of Irma Brown. After the board had been called to or der in the same room at the state house which was used recently for the hear ing of the evidence in the Dewey case. Judge Redden filed a motion to strike out charges B and C insofar as they re lated to any acts committed prior to March 22. 1001, when the act creating the board was passed. The same motion objected to the consideration of any of the charges for the reason that if he should be declare to have forfeited his license, he would be deprived of property contrary to law. The motion was over ruled. It was in full as follows: DEFENDANT'S OBJECTION FILED. Now comes the respondent and objects to the board considering any matter, charge or allegation against him under trie accusation and charge headed "B" that relates to or refers to any act or purported act of respondent, prior to the passing of the law creating this board, to wit, March 22, 1901, for the r.uson that to consider such acts and to at tempt to revoke the license of this re spondent by reason thereof would be making and causing said act to be an ex post facto law. and would be in vio lation of r.-jragraph in Df article 1 of the constitution of the United States which provides, "No state shall pass any ex post facto law." The respondent further objects to the board considering any matter, allega tion of charge referred to under charge headed "C" trnt has occurred or al leged to have occurred prior to the pas sage of the act creating this board, to wit, March 22. 19ol,and moves the board not to consider any such allegation or charge for the reason that the same would be giving an effect to the law creating this board and under which it is now acting, that of an ex post facto law. The respondent objects to this board considering any of the charges made against him for the reason that re spondent has a vested interest in prop erty, to-wit, the right to practice medi cine in the state of Kansas, in that he was engaged in such practice, being a graduate of a regularly created medical college, in good standing, to-wit. Rush Medical College of Illinois, and engaged in the practice of his profession in the state of Kansas, prior to the passage of said law, and has been duly licensed to practice his profession since the passage of said law by said board and that now to attempt to revoke said license would be to deprive him of his property with out due process of law and would be a direct violation of article 5 of the amendment to the constitution of the United States, and is in direct violation of that provision ofi paragraph 1 of article 14 of the amendments to the con stitution of the United States. The respondent objects to this board considering or passing upon the charges made against him in this matter or making any order, or attempting to make any order revoking or purporting to revoke his license to practice medi cine in this state because he has a property right and interest therein, and that said property interest could not be taken away tiom him without the judg ment of a court of competent Jurisdic tion without due arid fair hearing and because the supreme court of this state has held that this board is not a Judi cial tribunal. BOARD STRIKES OUT CHARGES. After this had been passed upon, Judge Redden filed a motion to strike out charges A. C. D and E, "for the reason that same does not describe an offense that the statutes designate as sufficient to authorize the revocation of the license." Judge Redden argued this at some length. He held that the Irna Brown murder should not be considered because of the fact that Dr. Brown had already been acquitted of that charge of murder, by the jury at Chicago. The board withdrew for a consultation about this matter, and in about ten minutes reported that the motion had been sustained to strike out charges D and E. and overruled as to the others. A motion to make charges A and C more definite was overruled. Judge Redden then filed answer to the charges, which after setting up a gen eral denial of each and every allegation in' the bill of complaint, goes on to say: "With reference to the charge marked C, he denies specifically that he was ever guilty of adultery with Mary Rem ington, and says that whatever order, judgment or decree may have been ren dered in the case therein referred to, with reference to adultery was done by a compromise of litigation in the nature of settling a litigation under and by the terms of, which no sufficient evidence was offered, and under which this re spondent did not offer any evidence on the subject of adultery and that there was no bonafide trial or hearing held; that the decree that was rendered was not final, and has not become final and was not and is not an adjudication upon the subject matter of the charge con tained in said charge marked C." The charge of adultery is based on a divorce suit which was filed against Dr. Gray by his wife, in which the charge was made. GRAY ON THE "WITNESS STAND. After disposing of the preliminary mo tions, the state called Dr. Gray as a witness. Gray made a good witness in his own behalf. He is a man of medium sta ture, with a scant moustache of black tinged with gray. He has cold eyes, and a rather unpleasant expression of the mouth. His nose is of the Roman variety. His voice is soft, and it was with difficulty that he talked loud enough for all the members of the board to hear. Throughout Gray's testimony there was a continual wrangle between the attorneys, which sometimes threatened to become personal. The defense tried to keep out all reference to the Irma Brown case, on the ground that the board had ruled out charge D which brought up that matter. It was soon made plain, however, that the board proposed to exercise the magnificent freedom from strict legal procedure which characterizes, its organization by listening to almost anything it pleased, regardless of whether a court of justice would hold it "competent testimony" or not. The board laid down the general rule that it did not want to go into the murder trial testimony, but wanted to hear everything else that could shed anv light on the character of Gray. "How old are you?" was the first question put to Gray, after he had stat ed his name. "I am 42" replisd the witness. "Did you know Irma Brown in Gar den City?" "I did." .L "When did you leave Garden City with Irma Brown?" "November 1, 1901, about noon. "Wrhere did you go?" "We went direct to Chicago, and ar rived there about noon November 2." "Wrhere did you go when you arrived in Chicago?" "We went to Grace hotel; "Did you register there?" "BySwhat name did you register?" This question provoked a long dis pute between the attorneys. Attorney Marston said: "If you admit this question, you will open up the entire question of the death of Irma Brown. This defendant has once been tried and acquitted on that, and it would violate the most sa cred princ iple of law to again place him in jeopardy. It took fifteen days to try this case in Chicago." Attorney Pestana replied: "This board is a rule unto itself. It can listen to anything it wants to. This is the very best kind of evidence. If this man went to that hotel and wrote on the register, 'R. K. Gray and wife.' no one knows it better than himself. If we car prove that he. a married man, went with a single woman and registered an man and wife, what better proof is there that he is an immoral man?" The board consulted briefly, and de. cided to admit the question. "Answer the question," said Mr. Pes ta v.u. "I would like to ask," said the wit ness, "if I may be permitted to state whv I registered as I did?" "Certainly," replied Mr. Pestana. "I registered as Leon Howard and wife." "How long were you at the hotel?" "She three days. I was there from 11 n. 'm. Saturday night until Sunday morning. I was out all- day Sunday, and we were out all day Monday." From the Grace hotel. Gray and Irma Brown went to the Leland hotel, where they registered as Dr. R. E. Gray ami Lclia Howard, and occupied separate rooms for ten davs. "From November 1 to November 14 you were a married man," asked Pes tana. "Yes," replied the witness, very faintlv. MARSTES AND BROWN FUSS. There was a sharp bit of repartee be tween Attorney Marsten and Attorney Brown. Marsten had been taking a dig at Brown now and then during the hear ing, intimating that he had taken an undue interest in the case. "I want to say." retorted Brown to qne of Marsten's sallies, "that I have a rigTit to be here. I have evidence to show that I was retained by parties in Garden City to appear as associate counsel in this case." "I have a stack of letters." replied Maistcn. "connecting Brown's name with Dr. Gray in a great many ways, which I can produce if necessary." "I used to be attorney for Dr. uray, said Brown. "Well. I pity the doctor," snapped Marsten. "I saved him from going to Jail." flashed back Brown. Marsten then tried to introduce, on behalf of the defense. Dr. Gray's office record, showing just vbt treatment he tiaa given to irma 5rowu. "Every detail of this affair should be made plain," said Marsten. ."We should be allowed to show just how he met this girl, who was the father of that child, and all. If you Msten to scraps of evi dence only, you can be convinced that any man is a scoundrel." The board decided that the book I should not be read, but agreed to let Dr. Gray tell the whole story of the Irma Brown affair, and this the doctor proceeded to do. DR. GRAY TELLS HIS STORY. "I will explain why I registered at that hotel as Leon Howard and wife," said Dr. Gray in beginning his story. "Irma Brown came to me about July 11, 1901, and said that she was sick. I pre scribed for her and it did no good. She went to Oklahoma, thinking. to benefit her health. When she came back, she was worse, and her sisters wanted her to take an examination. She came lo my office to take this examination, and then refused to take it. Subsequently she came back, and was feeling so badly that she said she had decided to take the examination. She then said she wanted to tell the truth, and admitted that she had not always been a good girl. She cried and said she would com mit suicide. She asked me to help her. I suggested that she go away from home. She asked how much it would cost, and I told her about $200. She decided to follow this plan, and told her family that I had diagnosed her com plaint as kidney trouble, and had told her to go to Kansas City to have an operation performed. Her sisters ar ranged for her to accompany me to Kansas City, as I was about to start for Chicago. They said to take her with me to Chicago if necessary. After we started, Irma refused to stop in Kansas City because she had relatives there. She was very sick all the way to Chi cago. When we got there, I registered at the hotel as Leon Howard and wife, at her suggestion, so that I might be able to go to her roo:$ and take care of her when she needed it. Sne suggested the name for me to use." At this point the hearing was ad journed. ASK FOR MORE MONEY. North Topeka Committee in Charge of Repairs.

SLOW STARVATION The Dyspeptic's Diet Leaves no Chance for Regaining Strength. The dyspeptic who starves body and brain because food will not digest has no chance to get strong again because bodily strength cannot be built up ex cept on food that will digest. That is the mission of Grape-Nuts which any dyspeptic can digest and which will begin to build up and nour ish at once. A Wisconsin man says: "For the last 7 years I have been a great sufferer with stomach trouble and for 18 months I could not eat or drink anything, not even a spoonful of milk, without great suffering. "It seemed I had tried every remedy in the world and I had given up all hop s of ever getting better when a friend advised me to eat Grape-Nuts foo 1. I was just about too much dis couraged to do so for I expected to die and all my friends expected I would too but I finally did send for a sample box ani when it came I wes so weak I could net turn over in bed. 'Then I began to take the Grape Nuts, Just a little bit at first, moistened with hot n:ilk and from this time I be p.n to grow stronger and before I had finished the fourth package I could eat :ir.d drink anything I wanted and it did 'not hurt me in the least. So the right food helped me to health after every thirg else had failed. 'Exijerience, actual use. proves abso lutely the great power of the scientific food Grape-Nuts."

Our Clear-Out Sale DEMAND FOP, LAND Western Kansas Farms Being Bought by Investors. Wheat Belt Extending Into Short Grass Counties. THE BLUE STEM LEADS Fields of Grain Follow in Its Wake. Sod Being Broken for First Sowing of Wheat. For a period that extends back sev eral years Kansas investors have been quietly buying .western Kansas grazing lands and wheat ground. Thousands Vf acres have changed hands in the past two years. In Trego, Ellis and Russell counties much of the land is purchased by the sons of Russian settlers who have made money raising wheat. They intend to live on It and raise crops. The cattle business has leagues of the west ern country in Its grasp and the recent Cheyenne county outbreak shows how seriously and persistently, it is fighting to widen its control.- "v; During the past year the Mulvanes of Topeka have been purchasing wheat land In western Kansas but they de cline to make public the location or ex tent of their holdings. John R. Mul vane said yesterday: "We have considerable wheat ground but I don't believe I would be justified in discussing them. The land will be used entirely for wheat raising and we have extended our holdings whenever we found it possible to buy advantage ously." John R. Mulvane is interested in a land investment at Las Animas, Col., where 1,000 acres of irrigated land are under cultivation. It is believed that the improvement of this ground has about reached its completion and that encouraged by the success with it the Mulvanes propose to try a similar ex periment in this state. The Colorado land is used for agricultural purposes and stock raising. Wheat land has gone up in price rap idly since it was found to be good for anything and land that sold for fifty cents an acre a few years ago is now changing hands at from $5 to $7.50. The wheat business in Western Kansas is, of course, one of considerable uncer tainty but the experience of the past few years has demonstrated that wheat growing can and does pay good re turns. In a few sections irrigation has been successfully introduced but irri gation is yet a latent factor in the pos sibilities of the lands in the western part of the state. At the present time the Union Pacific railroad is disposing of a considerable part of its subsidy lands in Trego county and has recently sold one hundred sections which are to be used m the establishing of a col ony of Russian Lutherans. It is be lieved that this land 'can be made to support two families to the section and the settlement is to be made on that basis. The returns of 320 acres of wheat land in a good year are sufficient to tide over a considerable amount of unfa vorable weather. Land in Pawnee county which sold for $4.50 four years ago is now nuoted at $20 an acre. The land this year will raise from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre. Col. William Scott, of Larned. who harvests hundreds of acres of wheat annually in Pawnee county, is increas ing his holdings of wheat land. This spring he bought 600 acres of land in that county and is constantly buying cheaper land in the counties still further west. "The wheat raisers are constantly looking for cheap land in the western counties," said Col. "Scott in discussing the pmspects of western Kansas. "This year thousands of acres In Finney coun ty will be broken for the first time and put in wheat. The cultivation of the soil tends to store the moisture and the edge of the wheat belt is constantly moving westward. I believe that in a few years wheat will be grown -extensively and profitably In many Kan sas counties on the western border of the state." Director T. R. Jennings of the United States weather bureau and who keeps in touch with Kansas condittons,agree3 with Col. Scott's idea. "Where the blue stem grass goes wheat follows." said Mr. Jennings. "The progress of the biue stem can be traced and it will be found that wheat fields have sprung up where the blue stern went as a pioneer. Now the blue stem has established itself in Trego county and is still finding a foot hold in counties further west. I be lieve that if the blue stem travels to the state line that the wheat ralners will follow." Although there are large holdings of western Kansas lands by non-resident eastern investors. Kansas people are proving their faith in their state by put ting their money into wheat and cattle land of that locality. The settlers who stayed when the cropless years of the early nineties tried things are extend sale all day. 38c uccu selling xcguiaiiy at. 50c Shirt Waist Suits. $2.00 $3.50 $3.50 Stock. is Clearing the ing their holdings materially. This is particularly true in the cases of the Russian settlers. The Russians are the hardiest and therefore perhaps the best class of people for the western part of the state. Considerable trouble has developed for the United States district attorney's office of Kansas on account of the pro pensity of western Kansas cattlemen for fencing up government lands. There is a statute which prohibits the fencing of such land but the cattlemen are under the greatest temptation to do so since the days of the open range have passed. Small tracts never pre-empted adjoin or are surrounded by the holdings of cattle grazers who find it most econ omical to fence up the government land along with their expanse of grazing ground. Government land is free range. District Attorney J. S. Dean has. en deavored by peaceable means to secure the unfencing of all such grazing ground and has been in some measure successful. As in some instances obedi ence to such orders means material det riment to the interests of cattlemen there has been considerable reluctance to take down fences. United States District Attorney Dean has prepared a list of cattlemen who are maintaining fences on government land and will push his work of clearing them. RACE ON OYSTER BA I.

Ship man, Missouri, Kansas Texas rail road agent at Hartford, was arrested last evening on the charge of breaking the temperance law by running a Joint. Shipman's alleged plan is a new one. The law permits an express or station agent to receive consignments of liquor and deliver thera to the consignees.
