The conclave has be"en duly formed and its members are now hut from the outer world. Everything la prepared for tomorrow's voting. Shortly after 4 o'clock the cardinals be gan to appear on St. Peter's piazza, where a small crowd watched interest edly and raised their hats as the princes of the church passed into the rear en trance of the Vatican.

Rome, July 31. The ceremony of the entrance of the cardinals in conclave which is always given as solemn a char- acter as possible, was inaugurated this: morning with the celebration of the j muss r,f he H,,K- Ghost in ihc Pa. din chapel of the Vatican. Before 1S70 this mass was celebrated, in the chapel of the choir of St. Peter's. The sacred college, numbering sixt two cardinals, the diplomatic corps, the Roman aristocracy, the Knights of Malta and a few outsiders especially in vited, were pisrnt. with a profusion of gu.tr.is who today" had taken oil the j mourning emblems they had been wear ing for Leo X 1 1 1. As is always the case at such cere monies, there was so much color in the picture that one felt as though witness ing an exhibition of a series of living pictures, until awakened to the grand reality of the religious ceremony by the singing of the Sistine choir.

As it is customary for each cardinal to have a guard told off for his service In the conclave, and there are sixty two cardinals, it has been decided t(V press into the service the cadets. The latter are not full-tiedcre.l soldiers and wcie draw n by lot. The Question of if which cardinal they fall to is a matter or serious import to them, as each guard congratulates his cardinal and wishes him good luck in the coming election, for which good wishes he re ceives, if his particular cardinal is elected pope, the sum of $10,000 or lu crative employment. The excitement over the drawing of the lots is intense as the soldiers do not usually get such a reward for a few good wishes. The guard of Cardinal Gibbons will be Cadet Count Delia Porta. The marshal of the conclave. Prince Chigi-Albnnia. having insisted that the number of oeople who are to enter the conclave must be reduced to a really indispensable number, there will be only 75 persons present. The Messagero says that among the petitions for relief out of the money left by Pope I-eo Is one from Counts Mastat and Ferreti, nephews of Pope Pius IX. who are In extreme poverty. It is rumored in Vatican circles that some of the cardinals, especially- the foreigners, having announced their in tention of voting for Cardinal Ferrata, the latter has been Induced to with draw his candidacy after having been promised by Cardinals Rampolla, Gotti and Serafino Vannutelli that if one of them is elected pope he will appoint errata secretary of state. The Sistine chapel has been complete ly transformed, the only thing connect ing it with the Temple of Art, which it is generally known to be, is Michael Angelo's dome, which shines in undim med brilliancy above the altar, com pletely covering the "last sacrament." The altar ls hung with tapestrv repre senting the descent of the holy spirit, surmounted by a violet canopy and is covered with red velvet heavily em broidered with cold, on the highest Ktep of the altar stands a majestic red and gold chair, which will serve as a throne for the new pope when he first receives the homage of the sacred col lege. Along the two sides of the chapel ere the seats for the cardinals with very high baeks and each having in front of it a little desk, with the car dinal'" name on it in Latin. On these I desks are pens, ink. and papers and above each is an imposing canopy. The first seats, near the altar, will be oc cupied by the cardinal deacons, the others following in order of piecedence. During the balloting six cendles on the altar will be lighted. A large table hHs been placed in the center of the chapel, for counting the votes. Most conspicuous in the chapel is a small stove, near the entrance in which the voting papers will be burned after they have been cast and the result determin ed upon. Just outside the doors of the chapel is a small room, where the papal robes intendeJ for the new pope are kept. There are three sets of these roles. large, medium and small, so as to be able to n't a man of any size. But. there are dozens of berretti, or priestly I caps, as it has otten been found very difficult to find one which would fit a particular head. After his election, the new pope retires to this small room out side the chapel and there dons his robes, reappears and receives the hom age of the princes of the church. MAY ELECT TOMORROW. Munich. Bavaria. July 31. The papal nuncio here received a dispatch from Rome today which causes him to be lieve th it the conclave will elect a pope tomorrow. THE CONSTITX'TION. Rome. July 31. The Italy says that the "constitution" 1-ft by Pope l,eo to the conclave has been distributed among th? cardi.nals. According to this au thority it was written in Latin in 1S82 and recalls former constitutions and conclaves, especially that of Pius IX and then complains of the Conditions of the holy see "under hostile domination." and recommends the quick election of a new pope. It advises the holdirg of the conclave in Rome unless the sacred col lege should not be in the enjoyment of full libe rty and recommends the main tenances of rights of the pontiff. It en- Rome.

The Italia this morn ing says that Cardinal Gibbons at the vatic-in yesterday criticised the policy of Cardinal Rampolla, paying that for the purpose of retaining the friendship of governments, no matter how formed. he had thrown into the sen th bst and most trusted friends of the religion. He s sad to nave citea trance as an ex ample and ns having said that the same thing would hanpen in Spain, in which sentiments Cardinal Sancha y Hervas, bishop of Toledo, is slid to have agreed. Other Spanish csrdirals present, the It.ilia said, were attracted by the dis-eu-sion. The Trlbuna says that the congrega- ,!on "f cardinals has i approved the pro test to he made against the occupation of the pontifical st tes and the law or the Italian parliament enacted contrary to apostolic sovereignty. INSPECT THEIR CELLS. Cardinals Are Not Enthusiastic Over the Prospect. Rome, July 31. Th? cardinals today visited the cells which they are to oc cupy during the conclave, but it cannot be said that they returned very enthus iastic over the idea of being confined pernaps for some time in wnat are y '(rntiy termed "cells," wmen are witn out running water and necessary venti lation. It was feared that the haalttr of some of the older and more feeble cardinals mirht suffer. Perhaps the most dissatisiied with it was Cardinal Maszary, who as primate of Hungary, is the wealthiest of the cardinals. He is i making it quite impossible for persons on either side to see each other. It is expected that Count Soderini, whose position at the Vatican is that of bearer of the "Golden Rose," the great est gift which a pope can confer upon women of royal families, was entrusted read an autograph letter from Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, which added renewed condolence on the death of Leo and expressed the hope that the sacred college would be inspired by the great interest of the church in choosing his successor. The letter produced a strong impression and it was decided to an- svver !t w'ith a special message. Subsequently Cardinal Oreglia ex plained how the work of the conclave was to be carried on, recalling the prin cipal rules which were to govern the body and recommending their strict ob servance. He outlined a programme for tomorrow which will consist of the mass to the Holy Ghost in the morning to gether w ith the deliverance of the ora tion pro pontifn e eligendo. The cardin als will enter the conclave at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Each of the cardinals today received a medal str lck by the camerlengo to maintain the tradition of his sovereignty during the interregnum. It is Intended to strike coins also for all the conclavists and servants -who are to be present. Cardinals Sanminiatelli Machi and Dellavolpe.were charged with the duty of visiting the apartments of the conclave and Cardinals Trinoti and Poschi with visiting the prlcincts of the conclave for the purpose of making suie that there were no possibility- of com munication with the outside world. The question of the compensation to be given to the physicians who treated the late pontiff during his last illness was also discussed in the congregation. The executors of the will said that the money remaining after the charitable bequests left bv Leo are paid would b only about ?4.000. This sum was con sidered insufficient and a commission of cardinals was instructed to augment it to such an amount as might seem ap propriate. Warrapt for Arrest of Briber. Buda Pest, July 31. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of former Deputy Dienes, who was charged in the diet Wednesday with having attempted to bribe Deputy Zolman Papp, with 10, 000 kronen, to desert the obstructionist party and leave Buda Pest.

NEW WIRELESS. A Chicago Woman Hakes Suc cessful Test Of Her Son's Invention for Send ing Messages. SAT IS HER HOUSE And Communicated With Her Sou on Lake Steamer. No Pole at Either End of the Line. Chicago, July 31. A new system of wireless telegraphy has just been put to a successful long-distance test on Lake Michigan. While Mrs. Emily Piygott, mother of the youthful inventor of this new sys tem, ticked prearranged messages from her home in Garfield avenue, Chicago, the son, G. S. Plggott, stood with his father, S. Piggott, on the main deck of the whaleback Christopher Columbus and received the messages ticked out by his mother's hand. In this new system, which the Pig gotts hope to make commercially prac ticable, there is no pole at either the receiving or the sending station, and although in yesterday's tests the re ceiver was exposed on the deck of the vessel, the transmitter was in the room of a house. An intensifier makes the poles unnecessary. To prevent the interference of foreign currents each instrument is "timed" to respond only to a current of a certain rapidity of alternation. HE USED A WHIP. Which Caused a Southern Wo man to Kill Her Urother. Hattiesburg. Miss., July 31. As a re sult of the killing of John Rich by his sister, Mrs. J. Prince Odum, at Rtchtuii on July "5, a lively sensation has de veloped in Augusta. Relatives of both the Rich and Odum families are gather ing on the scene, and the father of Mrs. Odum, Steven Rich, has employed at torneys to assist in the prosecution of his daughter. Public sentiment sup ports the handsome young matron, how ever, the more so because her beautiful sixteen-year-old daughter is accused as an accomplice, and upon one trial hangs the fate of both. On Saturday, July 25, the village of I Richton was startled by the sound of four shots fired in quick succession, i Handsome Mrs. Odum had almost emp tied her pistol into the body of her ow n brother, John Rich. A water spring on the land of Dave Rich, another brother, had caused the feud which ended so fatally. Both families were accustomed to use the water, but when the supply (became scarce on account of drought, I John Rich requested his sister not to i use it. I She insisted that it belonged to her as 'much as to him, and sent her washer j woman there as usual to do the wash ing. John Rich appeared on the scene SatHrday and ordered the washerwom ian to leave. She reported to Mrs. Odum, who told the woman to return. To reas sure her Mrs. Odum accompanied her. John Rich was still at the spring upon their arrival, and. seeing that he could not intimidate his sister, began to beat her with a stick. Enraged at the inhu man treatment Mrs. Odum returned home and secured her revolver. Calling her beautiful young daughter Emm:i she returnt-d to the spring. John Rich was still there, and no sooner ha,d his sister appeared than he again began his barbarous treatment. Without a word Mrs Odum raised her revolver and fired. The first ball struck Rich's right arm. a second shattered his left, a third pen etrated his shoulder end the fourth passed entirely through his heart. Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Odum and her daughter were taken in custody by Deputy Sheriff V alter Mvers. who had her jailed at Augusta. Yesterdav she was jriven a preliminary trial before Justice of the Peace Mc- Meanwhile the news of the trouble had spread, and the Rich and Odum families -which are among the most prominent in Mississippi, began to gather at Augusta.

The Harvest 1 Now Practically Completed. Corn lias Improved as Result of Rain. Scattering reports received from the secretaries of the various county agri cultural societies of the state indicate that w heat is not "making quite as heavy a yield as was expected. It seems to be running about 20 bushels to the acre, so far as heard from. In most places the quality is described as good. In Barton, it is exceptionally fine, weighing from 60 to 63 pounds. The reports received so far are dated July 28, 29 and 30, and all except the ones sent on July 30 were sent before the rains. It is an encouraging fact, however, that except tn one of the coun ties reporting so far, the corn is not in jured seriously, and is "saved" by the rain. The secretaries of the agricultural so cieties in each county are supposed to report to the board of agriculture once a month, but the regulation is not strictly observed. The following are the reports so far received for the month of July: C. J. Shimeall, secretary of Norton County Agricultural association, (Juiy 20): Wheat is nearly all in the shock and threshing has commenced. The largest yield in the history of the coun ty is looked for. Some oats have been cut. The oat crop is very heavy. Corn has made a wonderful growth during the last month and is In line condition at present. H. A. Phelps, secretary of Mitchell County Agricultural association, (July 29): The yield of wheat and the quality are below tne estimates a few weens ago before the harvest. There was a tre mendous growth of straw, and excessive moisture caused grain to lodge and this did not fill very well. Average yield of the county not far from 18 bushels per acre. Oats are better than average. The condition of corn at the present time is all that could be desired. No hot winds or chinch bugs. A good rain will be needed soon to insnre a crop. This Is the critical time Wth the corn crop in this county. K. L. Miller, swrfetary Marshall County Agricultural association. July -2 Harvest ing is finished; good portion of wheat is stocked: the balance Is being thrashed in the Held: wheat j i- ld per acre is not large; ranges from 10 to 3t bushels per acre; corn is a hard thing to guess on: the early corn needs a good rain, other wire it is doing nicely; late corn looks fine and with favor&ble weather and a good fall will make over one-half crop; no hot winds jet. Ed L. Reed, reporter Cowley County Ag ricultural society, July Zt Corn is in fine condition and with necessary moisture within the next few days will promise the best crop for years, wheat a splendid qual itv and very poor yield, perhaps not over 10 bushels per acre; oats a very poor yield and quality. Ira D. Krougher, president F.orton Coun ty association, July 30 Winter wheat har vest over and thrashing in full swing; av erage so far is 20 bushels per acre, and we feel safe in placing the Harton county average at 20 bushels: quality very good, (V) to 63 pounds per bushels; the weathe.-l-.as been rather hot and dry for corn, bin it remains quite green: we are now having a big rain which will make a fair crop ot corn. F. T. Maguire, secretary Reno County association. July 2S This has been a dry month: corn is in bad shape; some turn ing red, but most of it is green yet. It is all hurt and will soon die without water; thrashing in full blast now: running from 10 to 20 bushels: average about IB bushels; qualitv fair: oats are light in quality and average 35 bushels to the acre. BiOTlNlOSTON. Required 25 Policemen to Quell a Disturbance At a Meeting Where JJooker T. Washington Was Speaking. Boston, Mass., July 31. An attempt by half a dozen colored persons opposed to Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee institute, to ask questions at a meeting which he was addressing last night at the Zion church almost result ed in a riot, and 25 policemen were call ed to quell the disturbance. Several ar rests were made, one policeman received a deep stab from a hat pin, while a man. said to be one of those opposed to Mr. Washington, received several razor cuts and is now in the hospital. After the crrests Mr. Washington was allowed to proceed and spoke for nearly two hours. Both factions at the close of the meet ing irsued statements. Mr. Washington said in his statement that the colored people of Boston should not be held re sponsible for a few riotous individuals, while Wm. Munroe Trotter, one of those who was arrested, stated the cause of the ricting was the absurd ruling of the chairman. Mr. Lewis, in ordering the arrest and ejectment of the person who hissed or manifested any objection to the speaker of the evening. It is said the disturbance was pre arranged and afterthemeetingMr. Trot ter and his friends admitted that they went there with the idea of asking Mr. Washington it number of questions and to resent anv attack that might be made on the New England representa tives to the recent Afro-American coun cil at Louisville. The meeting was held under the au spices of the Colored Business Men's as sociation of this city, and Wm. H. Lewis, one of the U. S. assistant district attor neys, presided.

XV. Potter, Chicago Expert, Makes Charges. GIVE HIM A TRIAL. Two 31en Are to Conduct Series of Experiments. Why the Test Mill Has Not Reen Rnilt. C. W. Potter, a prominent Chicago as sayer and chemist of the firm of Dick man, McKenzie Potter, and a son-in-law of Paul Morton, vice president of the Santa Fe railroad, makes the sensational charge that Dr. Ernest Fah rig's much discussed "bauxogen" meth od of extracting gold from Kansas shale is a fake. There is a report that if Mr. Potter can sustain this charge, suit will be brought against Dr. Fahrig by the rich Topeka men who employed him, to either recover about J3.000 paid to him, or failing in that, to enforce some pen alty for the alleged crime of obtaining money under false pretenses. It is also reported, and has not been denied, that Dr. Fahrig has been obliged to resign his position as chief of labora tories of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum, because of certain things w hich were disapproved by the manage ment of the museum. It is stated that among other things. Dr. Fahrig"s al leged discovery of "bauxogen" and his methods of exploiting it, were consid ered unsuitable. Among the men who employed Dr. Fahrig, and superintended his" elabor ate experiments here with the "test mill," there is a difference of opinion as to the truth of the charges against Dr. Fahrig. Some condemn Fahrig in the most bitter terms, and accuse him of all manner of crookedness. Others think that when given a chance, Fahrig will be able to sustain his position, ana prove that Mr. Potter is badly mis taken. It is the plan of the Topeka shale men to have both Mr. Potter and Mr. Fah rig come to Topeka, and together con duct experiments with the shaie, to de termine which of them is right. "Bauxogen," the mysterious subject which Fahrig used as his ""active ele ment," and which he refused to tell much about, ls said to be nothing but a chemical form of aluminum. .Fahrig claimed that he discovered bauxogen while experimenting with ozone, and that the only protection for the secret of the manufacture o this wonderful substance was to refuse to tell anything about it. Fred Freeman, cashier of the Mer chants' National bank, and one who has been especially interested in the development of the Trego and Ellis county shale fields by the Toptka syndicate, said today: "We have as yet had no official re port from Mr. Potter. We have noth ing whatever to give out. We will have nothing until Dr. Fahrig and Mr. Pot ter can get together and make some tests. It was all arranged that they should come here on June 1, but the flood prevented it, and then Potter went to Utah on business, and when he was ready to come Fahrig had gone to Cuba for some concern, and he has not returned. Sa the thing has see-sawed along that way. They are both ver; busy men, and it is hard to find a time when they can both come here at the same time. I know there are a great many rumors as to what Mr. Potter has said about the Fahrig process, but I have nothing to give out. I think thct within thirty days we will know something definitely, and we will then make a statement tor the press, though we do not think it is anything which concerns the public. This is all our affair. We are putting up the money, and if we want to keep our progress to ourselves, we have as much right to do so as any other company." The charges made by Mr. Potter, and the inability to come to a definite con clusion about the matter, is undoubt edly what is delaying the erection of the 100-ton Fahrig mill which was scheduled to be built immediately on the banks of the Smoky river. Nearly everyone in Topeka had th utmost confidence in Prof. Fahrig. He came with the highest credentials, ana his connection with the Philadelphia Commercial Museum seemed to assure him the rank of one of the foreaiost scientists of the country. If it is true, as reported, that Dr. Fahrig has been dismissed from the position of chief of laboratories of that institution, it will tend to arouse the suspicion of those who have been his most valiant de fenders in the gold shale experiments. There are some who hold the theory that Dr. Fahrig is really the possessor of a process which will extract gold from the shale and that Mr. Potter is simply trying to throw discredit on Fahrig's plan in order to leave the way clear for a process of his own. But if it is true, as claimed, that "bauxogen" is of no more value in the Fahrig process than so much common salt, it would naturally prejudice the shale men against Fahrig. because he has charged them enormously high prices for the bauxogen which has been used in the tet. It is said that the company paid Fahrisr. for the bauxogen used in the last Feries of mill runs, the sum tf J?..O0O. Fahrig claimed that with cut bauxogen, his progress was impos sible. And he kept to himself the secret of bauxogen, and its manufacture. He claimed that as soon as a large mill could be built for the manufacture of bauxogen, it could be turned out at very small cost, and would be a "commercial proposition" in connection wUh extract ing gold from the shale. There is no doubt that Dr. Fahrig is a man of great ability. He showed by his construction and management of the test mill that he was well versed in the science of electricity and engineering, as well as chemistry. He has also done very important work in mine inspection, for other parties. Fahrig's bauxogen was a substance which looked not un like undissolved glue. He put a small quantity of it into the tanks with the. pulverized shale and water, and then '.et the mixture run down an "electro lytic tower," repeated passing over plates nf zinc charged with electricity which caught and held the gold and sil ver. When a lot of the shale had been thus treated, he cleaned up the plates, and produced his metal in the form of handsome buttons of fold and silver. He placed in the hands of his employers sev eral hundred dollars worth of pure gold and silver which he claimed to have ex tracted from the shale. Mr. Potter was brought into the case some time ago, when the syndicate made an effort to interest President Ripley. Vice President Morton and oth er leading Santa Fe officials in the pro ject. It was natural, of course, for Mr. Morton to select his son-in-law, Mr.Pot ter, to conduct the investigation which would determirte how extensively the Santa Fe should interest itself in the shale. It is the adverse report of Pot ter which has. for the time being, block ed the gold ehale game. SANTA FE SMASH East and Westbound Limited Trains Crash Together. Collision Occurred 12 Miles East of Needles. Los Angeles, Cal., July 31. According to information received at the head quarters of the Santa Fe, the east and west bound Overland Limited trains on that road crashed together early today at Mellen, a small station 12 miles east of Needles, Cal. It is said that the composite car and engines of both trains were derailed and smashed, and that three tramps were killed. No report of loss of life among the passengers has been received. HOBART IN RUINS. Fire Sweeps Over Business Part of the Town. Oklahoma City, O. T., July 31. A message from Anadarko says' the main business portion of Hobart has been burned. Wires are burned and com munication with the stricken city are cut off. The fire started at 4 o'clock in the Phoenix theater. The Citizens' National bank and six or seven brick buildings were burned, and both sides of Main street for nearly two blocks are in ruins. During the burning of the telephone exchange Manager Hughes dropped dead while fighting fire. Hobart is the county seat of Kiowa county. WAS UNDER THE HOUSE Strange Act of a Girl in Fear of a W hipping. Chicago, July 31. On the verge of death from starvation, Emma Nelsler, 14 years old, has been found, after figur ing in one of the most remarkable dis appearances ever reported to the po lice. For three weeks the girl has lain hidden under her home at a01 Hastings street, supplied with food by an eight-year-old sister. Meantime the whole po lice force of Chicago was searching for her. She was only found after she had become nearly crazed by thirst, and had pricked a hole in the lead water pipe with a hairpin, and cut off the water supply in the house. When the plumber called to discover the leakage he found the girl lying un der the house, pale and weak from her imprisonment and lack of sufficient food. Rarlr nf tb cirl's m vsterinns rifsan- pearance lies a story of her arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct, which, It I is said, was followed by a severe whip j ping administered by her father, August Neisler. Fear of further punishment caused the girl to tlee, although the mother and father were grieving over the missing daughter, thinking that she hai killed herself. STRUCK WITH A ROCK. An Italian Senator Attacked While En Route to His Office. Rome. July 31. Senator Malvano. secre tary general of the foreign office, while leaving his house on his way to his office today was suddenly attacked by a. man who struck him two violent blows with a rock on his head and tht-n ran away. The senator's assailant, however, was almost immediately arrested. He was identititd as an Italian named Bufta, who had lost his fortune on account of the revolutions in Guatemala and who had unsuccessfully pressed his claims for compensation.

Dr. Joseph Melvin Drowns at Atlantic City While Trying to Rescue a Young Woman Bather. WAS POOR SWIMMER. Body of Girl Was Carried Out to Sea. Mother of the Man Saw 11 im Go to His Death. Atlantic City, N. J., July SI. Plung ing into the surf in a heroic but unsuc cessful effort to save the life of Miss Merle Shannon of Willlarnsport, Pa., Dr. Joseph Melvin, a prominent physician ot Carbondale, Pa., lost his life. The he roism and double drowning were wit nessed by thousands of persons who watched the life and death struggle In the breakers from the beach and th board walk. The tragedy took place at the sea end of New Jersey avenue. The girl was in the water and was breasting the break ers a considerable distance from the shore when a powerful breaker lifted her off her feet and carried her Into deep water. The current swept her around the end of the jetty at the point where the water is 15 or 20 feet In depth. Not knowing how to swim, she began the struggle for life and shrieked for help. Dr. Melvin had accompanied her Into the surf. Without a thought of person al danger, and knowing he would be helpless, as he was but a poor swimmer, he plunged to his fate. Dr. Melvin strug gled to the side of the drowning- girl and caught her bathing skirt. He clung to it for a minute or more, when another breaker separated him from his hold. Three life guards rushed Into th water. Guard Anderson, with a lifeline, reached Dr. Melvin just as he became unconscious. The guard began to work in towards the shore with him. The other two guards made a dive for the dis appearing form of the girl, but It had been carried away and could not be found. Persons on the beach dragged in the line which was held by Guard Ander son, who bore in his arms the inani mate form of Dr. Melvin. Knergetic ef forts of the guard to revive respiration failed. The double tragedy attracted several thousand excited persons to the scene. In the crowd was Mrs. John Klune of Carbondale, Pa., mother of the drowned bather. She worked her way through the deep circle -of persons which sur rounded the life guard at work, uncon scious of the fact that it was her son from whom life had fled. She did not discover it until she was beside the corpse. The neartoroken woman was removed from the crowd by friends. LIST OF INDICTMENTS Returned by the Federal Grand Jurj at Washington.

2 TOPEKA STATE JOURTAIi, FRTDAV EVENING, JULY. 31, iy03. KANSASNEVS. The Largest Cherry Orchard In Kansas at Wichita. Thlrtj-one Acres Nearly All Planted Out. TREES QUICK TO BEAK. Hare Fair Amount of Fruit After Second l'ear. Kot Damaged So Easily by Early Frosts. Wichita, July 31. This city can boast cf having the largest cherry orchard, or the largest orchard containing any kind of fruit in the state and so far as is now known in the west. C. X. and John Daugherty are the; owners and the orchard comprises ;U acres of ground situated on the West ide, two miles from the main part o the city. The ground adjoins that oc cupied by the Mt. Carmel academy and was purchased by the Messrs. Daugh rty at a cost of $150 an acre. Work on the orchard was commenced last fall at which time C. X. Daugh erty completed the purchase of several acres of ground to make out the SI acres desired. At that time 900 small cherry trees and 350 peach trees were et out. This spring some 200 more cherry trees were planted, making a to tal of about 1,500 trees that have al ready been set out. In the spring Mr. Daugherty will plant about 2.000 more cherry trees, making an orchard of 3.500 trees, so far as is known the largest of Its kind outside of California. When asked why he had decided on planting so many cherry trees, C. X. Jjaugherty said: "In the first place there is a greater demand for that kind of fruit than any other. There has always been a greater demand for cherries locally alone than could be supplied. Besides, there has never been a year that there were any cherries shipped from this part of the country to other cities. The demand from Wichita alone has always been eufheient to consume the offerings o? cherries where many more could readily be disposed of it offered. Another rea son is that cherry trees are easily cared for in this climate and do not become damaged so readily by early or late frosts as most other fruit trees. In two years after first ulanted, a cherry tree will yield fruit in large quantities, where if a peach tree is planted it takes all the way from three to five years before a profitable crop is yielded. Apple trees require at least five years for maturing and both varieties of fruit are apt to become damaged almost any year by unfavorable weather conditions." Mr. Daugherty figures that with great care each of his trees will yield yearly all the way from one to three bushels of cherries. As one bushel will make two ordinary crates of the fruit, it can readily be Feen what a large amount of fruit the 3,500 trees will yield every year. Mr. Daugherty has studied up on the proposition of fruit raising in the Ar kansas valley and after Investigating the question thoroughly makes some re markable statements. He says: "I believe that inside of ten years the Arkansas river valley will be the great est fruit raising section of the country. People who have heretofore been plant ing fruit and grain on these lands are Just commencing to awake to the fact that fruit could be raised at a profit ten times at least, greater than grain. The ground is simply perfect for fruit rain ing. On my place west of the city water can be struck at a distance of four and cne-half feet below the surface on any part. The soil is of a sandy mixture particularly adapted to the raising of all kinds of fruit." Mr. Daugherty's land is one and one half miles from the river, but at no time since he has owned it has it been Impossible to find moisture at the depth mentioned. He avers that as fruit trees always grow roots which extend in the ground to a distance of four or five feet, sufficient moisture is always at hand to aupply the necessary amount of nour ishment to the growing trees. It is not necessary at any time Mr. Daugherty says to water the trees. OLD SETTLERS' DAT. Ed floch, of Marion, to Be at Hutch inson on That Occasion. Hutchinson, July 31. Th old settlers are preparing for a good time on their reunion day, August 7. Kd Hoch, of Marion, is invited to speak here and will probably accept the invitation.

Testerday was temperance day and taking it all in all was well filled with (rood programmes. The principal lec ture of the day was that given by Mrs. Clara Hoffman, the national recording eecretary of the W. C. T. IT. .The state ments made were very interesting and gratifying to all who heard her. She told of the many laws made in the var ious states which were distinctly along the lines of reform. She gave an ac count of the abolition of the sale of liquors in the national capital and at ports of immigration. Her exposition of the advances made in police depart ments of our great cities for the good of public morals and public decency gave great credit to the untiring efforts of the W. C. T. U. in the United States. All this was very interesting, and pleased the nudlence very much, but, when Mrs. Hoffman accused William McKinley of being a party to an act of anarchy in his action with reference to INSURE The attractive appearance of your silver by using GrORHAM Silver Eolish the anti-canteen law, when Mrs. Hoff man said that as a party to this act of anarchy President McKinley was the first to fall at the hand of an anarchist, when Mrs. Hoffman said that she made a sad. sad mistake; she did more injury to the cause of temperance than her co workers can do good in a year. When she made her attack upon the late pres ident yesterday, she met the heartiest disapproval, manifesting itself in cries of No! No! No! and a general exit of people from the building. Beloit Call. HAVE BETTER DAYS. Sheridan County Farmers Jubilant Over 1903 Crops. Hoxle. July 31. The Sheridan county assessors returned 81,043 acres sown to wheat, rye, oats and barley. The stand is good and well headed. While many fields will likely yield between 25 and 30 bushel3 and a few more, it is gen erally admitted an average yield per acre will be 15 bushels. This will give us 1,215.645 bushels. Then we have 9,yl3 aires of forage crop and 7,908 acres of Kaffir corn, 5,784 acres of excellent al falfa, the second crop now being har vested for this vear. the three products valued at 1100,000. We have 37.499 acres of corn, many fields now in tassel, with a good rain Tuesday night which makes the corn prospects very nattering, but shall not venture to make a guess on its value, at this uncertain period. Then we have our prairie hay crop, which can easily give us 20,000 tons valued at $00. 000 with 40.000 cattle and horses to con sume it, 3.918 hogs, a dairy product which last year brought us $31,513, this year will exceed it. Egg and poultry valuation last year $22,812, garden $1,271 with scarcely any potatoes raised while this year we have a fair crop, giving us a wealth produced this year at a conservative estimate at $973,647, not figuring in our corn, or over $227 for every man, woman and child in the county.

Chicago Sports Are Sure Their Man WiinVin. Each Side Waiting for the Other to More. San Francisco, Cal., July 31. Sup porters of Jimmy Britt and Jack O'Keefe, who will meet for the third time at Mechanics' pavilion tonight, are calmly awaiting a move from each other in the matter of betting. Harry Corbett, who is as keen a forecaster of the pub lic pulse as any, selects Britt as a 10 to 8 or even 10 to 7. A good line is thought to have been gained on the rela tive abilities of Britt and O'Keefe by the local enthusiasts through the box ing of each with Dave Barry. Britt had Dave for a punching bag while getting ready for Fitzgerald, and O'Keefe Is using him in a like capacity at present. Barry thinks O'Keefe has the better chance because he is a surer hitter and a better judge of distance, but the Chi cngoan admits that the battle will re solve itself Into a question of force be hind the blows. Chicago admirers generally think those odds are not right. Abe Pollock puts it this way: "O'Keefe ought to be a 1 to 2 shot on his last two fights with Britt. I think Britt hasn't a look in on a straight, squere fight and an even break on those low punches and all that. Britt fights with his right hand up before his face, the glove covering the right eye almost, and depends on letting that left go for the body. With that I don't like his body punch. He lets it go as if the elbow was nailed to his ribs and gets his body in that way Instead of the free, easy action. They must be backing O'Keefe some if the price is going down." Sig Hart, former manager of O'Keefe, says: "I think the price is all wrong. J wish I was on the ground; I would like to get a little of that. To my way of thinking, O'Keefe should be a 1 to 2 shot with Britt easy, even in Britt's town. O'Keefe has everything that Britt has not and is the class of the fight." Racing at Clereland. Cleveland, O., July 31. Much to the disappointment of a large crowd there was too much wind for Lou Dillon to, attempt to break her record of 2:0Z. and the trial was postponed. Hand books were run much more boldly than on the previous day, and the day's rac ing witnessed the defeat of three favor ites. In the first race, the 2:11 pac-, Pauline O., who won easily at Detroit, was beaten by Miss Williams, in the free-for-all pace, Knox's Gelatin King, formerly Anaconda.was thought to have a sure thing, but Dan R.won both heata. The fourth race also went to an out sider, Dan T. being forced to finish second to The Roman, driven by Bud Doble. Both horse and driver received a great ovation. It was announced that John A. McKerron, 2:05i, will start against his record at the Brighton Beach meeting. There is also a chance that Lou Dillon will go against time at the same meeing. Oklahoma-Kansas It ace Circuit.

Danville Officials Begin to Take in Suspected Lynchers. Danville. 111., July 31 The police have arrested Winifred Baker, who, it is said, led the mob in its attack on the jail last Saturday. He was found work ing in a small coal mine west of Dan ville. Baker came from Kentucky a few weeks ago. He was armed when arrested. Three more arrests were made today in addition to that of the alleged leader, making 17 in all. More warrants are still out and by Saturday night the officers expect to have 25 members of the mob in jail. The city council last night passed resolutions commending Sheriff Whit lock for firing into the mob of lawless men that attacked the jail and thus de fending the prisoners in his custody. The council, after adjournment, inspect ed the city prison to see the damage wrought by the mob that lynched Met calfe, the slayer of Gatterman. When the aldermen entered the lockup in a body they frightened a negro prisoner into hysterics, as he was under the im pression that a mob had called for him. The prisoner could not be reassured and the aldermen gave up the inspection. The coroner's jury in the case of the negro, John D. Mayfield, rendered a verdict that the negro met death at the hand of persons unknown. The coroner. It is stated, considered it lmpossinie to obtain the names of any participants in the affair.

Growers are asking 15',4 cents per pound, with standing of fprs of 15 cents. For several weeks the hop market has been booming. Dealers have large orders which they find it hard to fill on account of the tendency of the growers to hold for better prices. Prize for Best State Song. New Tork, July 31. George W.

The dissatisfaction which has been prevalent among the Rock Island mem bers of the Order of Railway Teleg raphers for the last few months haa finally come to a head. A committee appointed for the purpose has called upon the general manager of the road and demanded of him a raise In waees of $5 a month and a nine-hour day In stead of ten. If this demand is com plied with by the road it would be great victory for the operators, and consequently C. A. Goodnow, general manager of the road, will take some time for consideration before making his report. He has notified the com mittee that his answer may be expected about August 15. It has been known for some time that those Rock Island operators who are members of the order have been dissatisfied with the action the road has taken towards them. Like the Santa Fe the Ttock Lsland is not In sympathy with the Order of Railway Telegraphers, and knowing this the members of the order have worked hard in an effort to strengthen them selves on this particular line. Eurly this spring a conference was held at the Blossom house in Kansas City of the representatives of the order in Kansas and several other surrounding states. It was understood at that time that the real purpose of the meeting was to make arrangements for a de mand for shorter hours and an in crease in wages, but as the meeting was a secret affair nothing definite could be learned regarding it. It now seems that this first supposition was correct. REPORT IS FAVORABLE. Railway Transportation Association Approves the Per Diem Plan. Detroit, Mich., July 31. The Railway Transportation association of the United States is meeting here to consider the per diem system in handling cars. A committee appointed to investigate the system reported favorably as follows: "It is the belief that the intent of the per diem settlement was to facilitate the return of each car to its owner promptly upon its rtlease from the or iginal road and that it was in no way Intended that 20 cents per day shall be a compensation to the owner of the car when in local use on foreign lines, in which service the owner has no interest whatever but rather that the rate of 20 cents was to cover the use of the car in service carrying freight over two or more lines in which they are all inter ested. "Many car movements indicate that the foreign cars are not kept either in home route or moved in the homeward direction after release from the original load. The results of this practice are that cars are unreasonably detained on foreign lines and that without the con sent of the owner they are used for the movement of traffic in which the owner is not in the least concerned, and we wish to emphasize and have this associ ation recognize the apparent growing tendency of this evil." The following officers were elected: President, Thomas R. Limer, Hocking Valley; vice president, T. F. Brennan, Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg; secre tary and treasurer, G. P. Conrad, New York Central; executive committee, M. B. Casey, I. L. W.. and F. S. Raw lins, Kansas Southern railway. WICHITA-DENVER LINK New Railroad Heard from in Direc tion of Kinsley. "VV. F. Brown, of- Pratt county, and Mr. Cyes, of Detroit. Mich., arrived last evening to talk a railroad proposition to our people, says the Kinsley Graphic. Mr. Brown lives at Naron and is the man more than any other one who has been urging the building of the Mis souri Pacific extension from Iuka this way. Mr. Cyes is a railroad promoter and builder representing eastern cap ital. The suggestion made by these gentlemen is to build a line of road across this county from this city south east and have it in operation by the first of January, provided the town ships will donate the right of way and J2.000 a mile. The right of way is not to be deeded nor the bonds issued until the road is built and in operation. The line would enter this county about one mile south of the parallel and run west near to the center of Brown township, then to this city. The general scheme of the road is to run from Wichita to Denver. If the proposition made by these gentlemen is accepted and the road built, Kinsley will be a division point and the shops and offices will be located here. It is proposed to build the line from Preston to this city this fall, as each point beins on the railroad it would be easy to ship in material and work from both ends. LOSE THEIR INCREASE. Employes of Pennsylvania R. R. Ob' ject to a New Order. New Tork, July 31. Following the 10 per cent, increase granted to the em ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad system, notice has been served on many of the men that dating from August 1 they will be laid off one day every month at their own expense. Bitter complaint has followed the or der, as it is declared that its enforce ment will practically rob the employes of the increase so recently granted. The rst men to receive the order were the ferry hands. The dockmen, porters, ticket sellers and bridge men must all take one day off a month, while the others will be forced to double up and do their work. They are paid an average of about tiH a month, and a proportionate amount will be de ducted from their wajes. The baggagemen between Jersey Cit and Pittsburg have all been notified. There are 2,500 of them, while 700 track men between Jersey City and Newark are victims of the same order. These, it is said, are only the first, and that gradually the entire system will be af-ectecl. While the loss to each man is com paratively small, amounting to only a few dollars a month, the company will gain almost $1,000,000 a year by the The ferrymen, the trackmen and bag gagemen are not organized, and have V2ATTI11E M H-ll M r M d..f M no recourse. Indrvidually, however, they are protesting against the order, declaring that it is an attempt on the part of the company to bring the scale of wages back to the standard in force before the 10 per cent, increase. Those who have given the matter more thoughtful attention believe that the company is frightened by the con dition of the Wall street market and that the officials will soon take other measures to lessen the expenses of the roa Conductors and brakemen and clerks in the Pennsylvania offices are wonder ing when the order will strike them. What these higher paid employes will do is problematical. That the officials are impartial in issuing the order is shown by the fact that Superintendent of Ferries Carrol will have to suffer with his men. DIi ROCK ISLAND GET IT P May Have Secured Large Block ut Mexican Central Stock. Chicago, July 31. One of the features of special importance in the Evansville Terre Haute deal is seen in the fact that Hooley Co., by whose failure the Rock Island has been enabled to secure another link in the chain of its system, by utilizing the Chicago Eastern Illi nois, which is a subsidiary road of the Evansville Terre Haute, also con trolled a large share of Mexican Cen tral and it is believed that the Rock Island has secured control of this road also. The Evansville Terre Haute rail road is a part of the so-called Evans ville route, which comprises three com panies the Chicago &r Eastern Illinois railroad, the Evansville Terre Haute railroad and the Evansville Indian apolis railroad. The total mileage of these three lines is over 1.040 miles and the country Through which they pass is fertile and rich in production, while along the lines are studded busy cities and prosperous towns. The Chicago Eastern Illinois, the main branch of the system, is now controlled by the Rock Island syndicate and the acquirements of the Terre Haute line is considered an important step in the policy of exten sion pursued by he Harriman system of railroads. HARPOONED THE LOCOMOTIVE Result of a Collision With a Carload of Steel Rails. The Newton Kansan Republican says: Train 567 yesterday morning struck a hand car near Burrton which was load ed with rails. A gang of Greeks who are working on the steel gang in that neigh borhood, were pushing the car. When they saw the train coming they were so frightened that they were unable to get their load off the track and out of the way. Engineer Tellin was on the engine and says that he was running over forty miles an hour when he saw the car, and was not able to slacken speed a great deal before he struck it. The collision, however, did not cause a great deal of damage, one of the rails being Jammed through the cylinder head, thereby disabling the engine, and the pilot was somewhat smashed up. No. 2 which follows soon after 567, brought the train to Newton. The Greeks, as soon as they deserted the car. ran like wild Indians through the fields, beating the air with their arms like they were fighting bumble bees. They no doubt expected to be thrown in prison for their carelessness. However they soon overcame their fears and returned to the scene of the wreck and tried to explain matters to Con ductor Reese in their native tongue. The affair, though somewhat startling at first, turned out to be quite amusing to the passengers. WORKING FOR $50,000. Railroad Must Be Completed Within Thirty Day. to Get Bonus. Guthrie, Okla.. July 31. The Fort Smith and Western Railway company has just one month left in which to complete the line Into Guthrie from Fort Smith, Ark., a distance of nearly 300 miles, if the company receives the $50,000 bonus donated by the citizens of Guthrie to the enterprise. Construction is, therefore, being pushed with all the rapidity possible. The bridge building has advanced into this county, within a few milesi of Guthrie, and the laying of steel is now progressing this side of the Oklahoma-Indian Territory bond ary. Recently the company closed a con tract with the Haskell Barker com pany of Michigan City, Tnd., for equip ment to the amount of $450,000, this be 1 i Hinr tn several other big or ders previously given.

An effort is being made to arrange another meeting between President Hill of the, Great Northern, Mellen of the Northern Pa cific and Mohler of the Oregon Railroad Navigation company and farmers 01 eastern Washington to talk over freight rates and ascertain if more amicable relations cannot be established between railroads and producers. President Hill has agreed to again meet farmers of eastern Washington and he expressed a desire to attend their annual picnic at Elberton, which was addressed by Gov ernor McBride on the railroad commis sion question. He could not arrange to attend at the time, while his request that the picnic be postponed until he could arrive was not granted by the picnic managers, president Hill then agreed to visit the wheat districts early in August to discuss freight rates, but he is unable to come west at that time. It is now proposed to have him visit Washington early in October and meet the farmers and shippers at Pullman, when the question of freight rates will be discussed at length. The presidents named met the farmers last fall at Colfax and Davenport and the reduction in rates then made re sulted in a saving to the farmers of half a million dollars on last year's crop. One of Mr. Hill's primary objects is to de feat Governor McBride's plan for the creation of a state railroad commission by act of the next legislature. CONSOLIDATE SEPT. 1. Rock Island and C. E. L Chicago Ticket Offices to Marge. Chlcpgo. July 31. A consolidation of the Chicago citv ticket offices of the Chicago Eastern Illinois with that of the Rock Island is reported to be scheduled for September 1. This will bring the local ticket offices of the Rock Jsland-Frisco system in Chicago into one building and under one man agement. The offices will be in the Marquette building, where the Rock Island local and general ticket agents are now. Ross H. Bookwalter. city ticket and passenger agent of the Chi cago Eastern Illinois, will move from the Merchants' building and retain his position. This move, which has as yet not been officially promulgated, is one of many which have been recently planned for bringing the several lines in the Rock Island-Frisco system into closer working relations. The plan which has been under dis cussion, to have the general offices of the Chicago Eastern Illinois removed to the new La Salle street station office building, is now said to have been abandoned on account of lack of space. SEEMS TO BE DISPUTE. Not Certain Whether Shay Has Au thority as Chief. Meadville. Pa., July 31. Mr. Shay is in the city and will remain until after Chief Youngson's funeral. The nomi nation of Shay to be assistant grand chief was made under section 12 of the constitution, which makes delegates to the last national convention eligible to such promotion. T. S. Ingraham, of Cleveland, first grand engineer, declined the nomina tion on account of failing health. The nomination of Shay will go before the three remaining salaried officers of the grand International division for con firmation, and in case of confirmation he will serve as grand chief until the next national convention, to be held in Los Angeles in May, 1904.

A meeting of the grand officers of the brotherhood will be held in a few days to select a grand chief and assistant grand chief to suc ceed P. M. Arthur and A. B. Youngson. The fact that Mr. Youngson just be fore his death nominated H. M.

Regardless of repeated announoeme i:i by the knowing oms, that the worst is over In U'nll street, the Hears still ap pear to holding a pretty firm grip on the situation. A yfiim? Buffalo man who rode out on bis bicycle to see the place where the Pennells of Iturdick carte fame were killed, not only paw it, but fell over it, and the ambulance that came for Mr. l'ennell took him to the same hospital at the fame hour of night. Henry Allen says a government ex pense account can't be patlded. Yet one of the postal officials recently discharged drew pay for being In Joplin, Mo., when in fact he was In Ohio. Of course his crookedness was discovered. Perhaps Mr. Allen should have added the words: "And escape detection." A secret passageway from the council chamber of the old New York City hall has been discovered. It is said to have been constructed for the benefit of mem bers of the Tweed ring, so that they could flee from angry constituents and officers of the law. The idea is com mended to St. Louis aldermen. A New Hampshire judge has flaunted the red rag in the face of Col. Bryan and his followers by issuing another in junction. The Boston and Maine Rail way company's trains have for some time past been delayed at Goff's Falls by cattle grazing between the rails. This has caused the engineers to do a good deal of whistling, much to the dis tress of the Inhabitants, who protested to the court against being kept awake at night and having their sensitive New England r.erves upset during the day time. The learned judge has therefore decreed that "Kelliher's cows are en joined from going to, upon, down and across the said tracks," and the inhab itants of Goff's Falls are again endeav oring to obtain peace of mind. Judge Marcus Kavanaugh of Chicago has just handed down an opinion, which if sustained by the higher courts, will have a far reaching influence upon la bor controversies. Judge Kavanaugh upholds the right of the labor union to station pickets about an establishment where a strike has been declared and holds that the strikers are within their rights when they endeavor to dissuade others from taking the jobs which they themselves have forsaken. In addition to this he holds that imprisonment of strikers on an affidavit that they have violated an injunction is illegal. The Judge is a Republican and an Irishm in and has been on the bench nearly 20 years. He was district judge at Dea Moines, Iowa, before going to Chicago. This decision is so at variance with the large majority of those hitherto reach ed by the courts on the same subjects, that doubtless the outcome will be watched with considerable Interest by both sides of the labor controversy. IRON AND STEEL IMPORTS. Importations of iron and steel into the United States in the fiscal year 1903 are larger than in any preceding year since 1891. and with that single exception are larger than at any time within the past twenty years. In only seven earlier years in the history of the country have the importations of iron and steel been bo large as those of the fiscal year Just ended. The total value of iron and steel im ported in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903, as shown by the figures of the de partment of commerce and labor through its bureau of statistics is $51, 617,312, against J27.1S0.247 in 1902, J17, 874.7S9 in 1901. and tl2.100.440 in 1S99. Running back through the import record from 1850 down to 1903. the only years in which the value of iron and steel im ports exceeded those of 1903 are 1S72, when the total was jr5,540.188; 1873, $59. 308,452: 1880. $53,714,008; 1881, $60,604,477; 1882, $17,976,897; 1883, $58,495,246, and 1891, $53,544,272. These large importations of iron and steel have occurred in periods of exceptional business activity, but on no former occasion have such large Im portations been made in the face of bo great home productions of Iron and steel. In 1S91, when the importations were two million dollars greater than in the year Just ended, the total home produc tion of pig iron was only 84 million tons, while that of 1902 was over 17 million tons, or double that of 1891. In the period from 1880 to 1883, when the importations of iron and steel were larger than those of 1903. pig iron pro duction only averaged about 4 million tons per annum, or less than one-fourth the annual production of the present time; and in 1872 and 1873, when the importations slightly exceeded those of 1903, the pig iron production averaged only 2 million tons annually, against 17 millions at the present time. This large increase in the importation of iron and steel is chiefly in the par tially manufactured grades. JAYHAWKEK JOTS. A freckle-faced Topeka girl with splendid eyesight wears specks.

It is possible to save a lot of trouble by getting rid of it. In the race for wealth it's snip and tuck with the dressmakers. The oil magnate is always a man of refinement, if not of culture. It always takes two to make a quar rel generally an husband and a mother-in-law. The fiy is a small insect, and yet the entomologists tell us he stands over six feet. You can't cheer a sick man up by telling him that death loves a shining mm. When a burglar breaks into an office building, as a rule he doesn't take the clcv-iUir.

Slobbs "Judg ing from the way he paints the town red, I should say he was a vermilion aire." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. A baby's first attempt to walk Is a trial balance. On the road to prosperity there are no barrel houses. Silence may be golden, but all mutes are not millionaires. It's no sign that stocks are feverish Decause they absorb water freely. Some men are proud of their misdeeds and ashamed of their virtues. A father may disinherit his children, but he can't disinherit the lawyers.

The only Idiot that is absolutely hope less is the man who sits down to reason a thing out with a woman. It comes so natural to a woman to do it that she can even brag her husband's' bald head into her esteem. When a girl finds out that a man has discovered she wears flannels she can be mad with him for the rest of his life.

Miss Ethelyn Palmer, formerly of To peka, who has been on the stage for some years, was secretly married on July S to Carlyle Moore, stage director of the Baker Theater company. The marriage took place at Oregon City, Oregon, sixteen miles from Portland, where the company is playing. They were married by Rev. E. S. Bollinger, pastor of the Congregational church. The following is the account from the Portland Evening Telegraph: "In local theatrical circles today the chief topic is the romantic marriage at Oregon City of Carlyle Moore and Miss Ethelyn Palmer, respectively stage di rector and ingenue of the Baker Theater company, which closes its engagement at the Baker this evening. "It was a carsfully guarded secret for three days, but the tacts in the case dropped cut this morning, and when confronted with the rumor, Mr. Moore 'fessed up" and pleaded guilty. "As stated, the marriage of Mr. Moore and Miss Palmer was to have been kept secret for a time. The couple concluded fiiat publicity would follow too quickly should the license be taken out in Multnomah county, and the marriage be performed here. But they did not go, as is usual in such cases, to that Gretna Green of Portland lovers Vancouver, Wash. In stead, they went to Oregon City and procured a license from the accommo dating clerk of Clackamas county. Al though Oregon City is but sixteen miles from Portland, and but one hour dis tant by trolley, it has taken the news three days to travel that short space, and become current in Portland. "But when the belated news "did arrive, it came with a swoop, and all the player folk of Portland and hun dreds of theater-goers knew all about It within a few hours. Now congiatu lations are in order. "As this is the last week of the Baker Theater company's season, the members of the organization have had an easy time, except during the evening per formance of "East Lynne." As there were no rehearsals ft was an easy mat ter for Mr. Moore and Miss Palmer to board the trolley car and take the hour's ride to the Willamette Falls last Wed nesday. Mr. Dix. a friend of Mr. Moore, was the accommodating best man, and the marriage ceremony was performed quietly and without ostentation. Then followed a short period of sightseeing at the town where Portland's light are manufactured, and then back again to Portland in time for a nice little dinner and the performance at the Baker. All this Journeying and marrying was car ried on in the most unsuspecting man ner. Even the wise ones who pride themselves on knowing the gossip of every other performer were completely thrown oft their guard. "And when the report came of the marriage there was surprise indeed. "The engagement of Miss Palmer and Mr. Moore has been short. It was a case of love at first sight, the newly married couple having only known each other about 12 weeks. The bride Joined the Baker Theater company during its engagement at the Seattle Theater in Seattle, a few weeks ago. "Mr. Moore may be said to be a Port land boy. For years he lived in this city, and has many friends here. His career upon the stage has been a suc cession of triumphs. Although a young man, he has a reputation as a stage di rector throughout the west, i "It is due to his artistic eye and keen, discriminating judgment that the pro ductions at the Baker are such real de lights to the eye. Mr. Moore's first ap pearance on a local stage was two sea sons ago, when he came here with Flor ence Roberts and made a hit as Cascart in 'Zaza.' He is especially good in char acters, and as a stage director he la among the best some say he Is the best ever coming to this city. "Mrs. Moore, nee Ethelyn Palmer, is a resident of Kansas City. She is a tal ented young actress, and made .herself a favorite in Portland when a member of road combinations. Her first appearance here was with 8. Miller Kent in "The Cowboy and the Lady," in which she sup ported the star better than he has since been supported. Her last appearance at the Marquam Grand with a traveling com pany was with Kate Claxton in her re vival of "The Two Orphans." In this old-time emotional drama Miss Palmer beg pardon. Mrs. Moore played opposite the famous star, and acquitted herself with more than credit. It was while she was with Kate Claxtor. that Manager George L. Baker watched her work, and was well nleased with it that he made her an attractive offer to Join the Baker Theater company, then starting for its Seattle season. Since becoming a member of the local organization Miss Palmer has established herself as one of its most popular players.

If you do nut care to hear the music, wander through the park, and do not interfere with those who are really anxious to take advantage of the rare opportunity to hear good mu sic. It is not to your discredit if you do not care for music, but it is to your dis credit if you crowd up near the stand and chatter while the band is playing. "What will vou do if it rains next Sun day?" a man asked Drake Watson this morning. "My present intention." Mr. Watson replied, "is to take the band to the park in covered cars and give the con cert in the pavilion. I expect to be the only person present. Owing to the rain. I intend to seat mvself in the middle of the pavilion in- a rocking chair, surrounded with packages of fried chicken, ice cream, boiled eggs, potato salad, devil's food cake, pickles, tongue sandwiches, etc., and have a good time with Elery and Rivels. Any one who will enlov the swim out to the park will be welcome." Atchison Globe. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. J. D. Field, 318 Tyler street, Topeka, Kan., died at Socofro, N. M., July 29, 1903.

For some reason the Santa- Fe, like other railroads, is often slow to receive notice of wrecks, be it in the instance of an unruly hand car, a passenger train or the second section of a freight. Chief Clerk Etter, in the office of Superintendent Hurley, heard nothing about the wreck of the motor car in Oklahoma and the fact that John Strickrott and Harmon Wilson, of To peka, were caught under said car was discredited all because Mr. Etter had not heard of it. As the news reached Topeka in the form of a message from Strickrott, who knew that he was in the wreck, the wreck probably hap pened. It is reported that the Rock Island trouble with the store house men at Horton has come to a close. When the men struck they were only getting $1.50 per day. They asked $1.75.

The company was not so easy, however. They required that each of the men make application for work and reserved the right to turn down anyone they wished to. Some of the older and most deserving men have been taken back but the ring leaders in the strike are barred from work.

LONG'S AUTOMOBILE. It Broke Down and He Missed an Engagement. Ralph Faxon, of Medicine Lodge, private secretary of Senator Chester 1. Long is in Topeka, and tells a story of how Senator Long missed his train and failed to get to Beloit in time to make his speech Wednesday before the Chautauqua assembly. Senator Long was invited by C. Q. Chandler, the well known banker, to ride from Medicine Lodge to Kiowa in Chandler's automobile and there catch a train for Wichita, whence he could get to Kansas City and then across to Beloit. About half of the 22 miles be tween Medicine Lodge and Kiowa haft been traversed when the machine broke down, and the occupants walked t Kiowa. They were too late for their train and hired a livery rig to drive back' to Medicine Lodge, towing the automobile behind. Senator Long will not be in Topeka this week, but is expected here the early part of next week, when he is en route to Cawker City to speak at the Chautauqua there. BEFORE GEN. MILES. (iny Straw Hal IN THE STORE $2, $3, $4 Values, Choice, Saturday, E. ZEIS The Segmental Wire-Wound Oun Was Fired Again. New Tork, July 31. Before Lieuten ant General Miles and other members of the board of ordnance and fortifications the ten-inch Brown segmental wire wound gun has been fired again on the Sandy Hook proving grounds. It was first tested in 1901. Then, the breech block blew off under the strain of 29,000 pounds to the square inch. In the second test, loaded with" an amount sliehtly less than the service charge of 150 pounds of powder, a pro jectile weighing 500 pounds ricochetted far out to sea. Following this there will be further trials until the maximum strain has been placed upon the piece and one hundred shots at least are fired. Except for a slight sticking of the breech block, which it is said can be remedied, the present trial is declared to be a success. Construction of the segmental gun was authorized in 1897. So- far it has cost the government 33,000. Baby Hurled from Bridge Unhurt Shamokin, Pa.. July 31. Mrs. Frank Sewicko was carrying her 2-year-old daughter. Anna, acros a high Shamo-kin-Mt.

NEW MELAN SPAN. Edwin Teacher Hakes Proposition to Lengthen Bridge. Edwin Thacher, of the Concrete Engi neering company has proposed to th. council to build an arch at the north end of the Melan bridge to replace the washed out approach and has offered to cut his royalties upon his patents half in two for the work. In response to a request from the council to make a written proposition he has filed the fol lowing statement of his offer with the streets and walks committee: "To the Mayor and Council. "In accordance with our statement be fore the council at their last meeting we will make the following proposition to the city of Topeka in regard to the erec tion of the Kansas avenue Melan bridge. In case the city seriously contemplates the extension of the said bridge by the addition of one or more spans of Melan arches, we will agree to furnish plans free of charge to the city, and if, after con sideration of such plans and approxi mate estimate, the city decides to con struct the work we will reduce our charge to one-half of our usual charge. If it is decided to accent this proposi tion we will require a profile of the pres ent surface on north approach between the old and Melan abutments. In the event that the city decides to construct the extension at once, but to defer pay ment for one or more years, we be lieve we can find reliable contractors willing to build the bvidge under such conditions provided the obligations bear Interest. "EDWIN THACHER. "CONCRETE ENGINEERING CO." Although no estimate of the cost of the work has been made it is believed that it will be $60,000 or more. The coun cil has not considered replacing the ap proach permanently yet because a wood en approach that may last ten years has been set up, but it is unsightly and should be replaced. If, at the next coun cil meeting it is decided to look further into the proposition the county commis sioners will be consulted to see what share of the work they will bear. Thir decision will have an important bearing upon the acceptance or rejection of Mr. Thacher's offer. Mr. Thacher was one of the builders of the Melan bridge. Diver Visits a Wreck. Halifax, N.

DO YOUR SATURDAY SHOPPING WITH US. CONVICT IS CAPTURED. Ben W. Starnes. Surrenders After Being Shot by Pesse. TO CLAIM HER REWARD. Ulrl Commits Suicide After Asking the Penalty. Chicago, July 31. "Dear Sally, tell me, If I kill myself what will become of my poor soul?" Anna.remember, if you destroy your self, your soul will be plunged into hell forever." "Oh, what have I done that my soul should be tormented on this earth and go condemned into the next?" Within half an hour after this conver sation occurred Miss Anna Posten, 21 years old, and pretty, fired a shot through her heart. She died instantly. Miss Posten was an actress and had been rooming in the Inter-Ocean hotel with Miss Sally Price since July 4. Dis iippointment in love was the cause of the young woman's act. According to Miss Price the girl had been jilted by an actor named Al Brazil, now playing in Terre Haute, Ind. Letters found in Miss Posten's posses sion show that she had a sister living in Binghamton, N. Y. The sister is be lieved to be the young woman's only liv ing relative. Previous to her arrival at the Inter Ocean hotel Miss Posten had been in the ballet in Ringling l'.ros." circus. She spent the last two weeks moaning and grieving constantly. When Miss Prico left her companion at 1 o'clock in the afternoon she advised the hotel clerk to keep watch on Miss Posten. Miss Pos ten's inquiry as to what fate awaited a suicide in the hereafter had a signifi cant meaning to Miss Price. Scarcely i'O minutes after Miss Price left to at tend a rehearsal In a downtown theater a guest reported at the office that he had heard the muttled report of a re volver shot. An investigation followed and Miss Posten was found lying across the bed in her room with blood flowing from a bullet wound above her heart. In searching the room occupied by Miss Posten the police found this note: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jundt No doubt you will be surprised and grieved at the contents of this letter, just as I have been for some time since Al wrote and told me he had gone to be married. lie has be en com ins up to see me for the last two weeks and still makinor love to another girl. ANNA POSTEN." The only other letter found bv the pnlice was one signed "Hattie," and dated Hinghamton. N. Y. The letter hR;in, "Dear sister," and implied that Miss Posten had informed her sister of her disappointment in love, and stated that the writer was "Almost crazy for fear you, detr sister, will kill yourself." With tears streaming' down her chev-ks Miss Price said: "The man in the case is Al Brazil, an actor, now playing at an amusement park in Terre Haute, Ind. He recently played here at the Masonic TempU roof garden. She loved Brazil desper ately, and has been in agony night and day. Anna was a good girl. She had one of the most beautiful dispositions of any one I ever knew." LAWSON MUST TELL Kansas City, July 31. Ben W. Starnes, the one-armed life prisoner who escaped In a daring manner on Saturday nisht last from the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., was captured early today near Richmond, Mo., after being shot in the leg b one of a posse that had been chasing him for several days. Starnes' leg was broken by the shot and he surrendered without resistance, although he was well armed. He was returned to prison todav Starnes was servinc a "sentence for robbing a train in the Indian Territory. He had previously escaped from the state penitentiaries of Colorado and Tennessee. Starnes was search and two sold watches and a small purse was found, which he had secured by holding up people since his escaDe. On the trair. after his capture Starnes continued to bleed, and a nhysician who was a pas senger tied' bandages about his leg to stop the flow of blood. Later Starnes "I was captured because I would rather be causrht than to kill any one, I stop at murder. I saw the posse be fore it saw me, and I leveled m. double barreled shotgun at them ana could have killed one or two and urob ably have escaned. I did not care to kill anybody, so I crouched down ani thought maybe they would think I was a dog and le me back off into the brush. At one time I went around the corner of a farm house as Mr. m mon, a detective, went around the other. I saw him. but he did not see me, and I escaped into the brush. At another time Mayor Orrick, one of the posse, came up near me and I pulled ny shotgun down dn'him. He ran un til he was out of sii.ht." GUILTY OF CONTEMPT. Newspaper Editor Sentenced to Six Months in Philippines. Manila, July 31. (By Pacific cable to the Associated Press.) Dominadnor Gomez, president of the Democratic Labor union, has been found guilty of contempt of court and sentenced to im prisonment for six months. When the union was declared bankrupt some time ago upon investigation of its affairs by the government, a newspaper connected with it was suspended end placed In the hands of a receiver. Gomes took upon himself to republish the paper and was promptly arrested upon the charge of contempt, for which be has just been sentenced. Gomez was arre&ted in May last upon a charge of embezzlement of funds from the labor union, the govern ment charging that the money stolen was used to furnish arms and food to the Insurgents of Rizal province. The union, which has a membership of 15,000, has always been closely allied with the national party, and is strongly in sym pathy with the insurgents.

The summons has been issued against John R. Lawson, who lives at 1354 Mul vane street. The list of personal prop erty given the assessors by Lawson amounts to $2li0. The $200 exemption for the head of a family leaves $6. That is divided and Lawson will pay taxes on J.'iO valuation. Information was tiled with County Clerk Newman to the effect that Law son is the owner of a much larger amount of property and that the valu ation should be greater. Lawson has been commanded to appear before the county clerk and the county commis sioners on August 6 and be examined as to his taxable property. The law providing for this procedure has been on the statute books for sev eral years but It has never been in force in Shawnee county. County ClerK Newman announced some months ago that he intended to proceed under this law wherever he thought the statements of property owners was too low. This announcement on the part of the coun ty clerk caused many individuals and business houses to increase the valua tions of their holdings when the state ments were made to the assessors. The statements of five banks were returned to the officers of the institutions and the value of the bank properties were in creased. The law authorizes the county clerk to surtimons anyone before him whom ne tninks has escaped just taxation. County Clerk Newman has announced that he will proceed in this manner whenever a satisfactory showing is made to him that parties are not as sessed a sutlicient amount. Complaint was made to Newman that Lawson's assessment was too low. COOL WEATHER RECORD. Last Night Was the Coolest of the Season. There was no immediate danger of frost last night although the coolest weather of the summer was recorded. The government thermometer fell stead ily all night until it registered 55 degrees at six o'clock this morning. A high barometer, which started in the northwest on Wedntday and jour neyed through the Missouri valley and pa.ssed Kansas on Thursday, was the cause of the cool wave. At Chicago the minimum recorded last night was 54. at Dps M lines 4.S, Omah 50 and Minne apolis 44. The Kansas minimums were correspondingly low. The reports of maximum and min imum temperatures from over the state for the 24 hours ending this morning at seven o'clock were as follows: Baker 70. 4S: Concordia CS, 54; Dodge City 76. 58; Dresden 7S. 50; Fort Scott 78. 5S; Hays 68, 52; Macksville 70, 56; Mcpherson 72. 54; Manhattan 70, 52; Osage City 72. 52; Sedan 84. 60: Topeka 68, 55: Toronto 74. 54; Wichita 72, 58.

Semi-official ad vices received from reliable sources throw light on the complications existing in La Guaira incident to the trouble between the Spanish consul there and the Venezuelan authorities. They also make it appear that serious trouble in that quarter is pending because of the anti-foreign attitude of the Venezuelan government. According to these advices ihe Ktianih consul referred to requested the privilege uf appearing be- iore a triounai wnien was examining Liie claim ot a Spanish subject against Vene zuela. He was punished by the Venezue lan governmi nt through the withdrawal of his txequatur. The diplomatic representa tives of the powers in Caracas have joined in a protest against this arbitrary proceed ing, hut o far it is not known that the government's action has been reconsidered. President Olcutt of the Orinoco Naviga tion company, a resident of New York, aiso is having trouble in Caracas. The company has a number of claims against the Venezuelan government and Mr. Ol- cott, accompanied by an attorney of the United States, went to Caracas to en deavor to secure a settlement. He sought to appear before the regular judicial tri bunals, but found himself embarrassed at every step and finally it was made impos sible for him to secure the, assistance of a Venezuelan lawyer. It is feared here that the work of the various arbitration com missions now sittine in Caracas will be rendered nugatory by this attitude of the Venezuelan government.

If man were not a being of such dis tressingly limited powers, if only he could bridge a few millions of miles of atmosphere and ether and hold rational communication with an order of being different from himself and probably of a much higher degree of intelligencis. the papers might ,now presently have something to print that would not mere' ly relieve this summer, cf all possible dullness in the news line, but make it the most memorable summer in the earth's history. For the inhabitants of the planet Mars, the most interesting of our cosmic neighbors, are making an other attempt, aooarently. to be sociable with us. Professor Percival Lowell of Boston, who has specialized in Martian astronomy for the past ten years, has observed a brilliant projection from the edge of the planet's disk which admits no natural explanation and consequent ly must be supposed to be artificial. If it is artificial it must have a purpose, and from its position and character the presumption is that that purpose is to attract our attention and tell us some thing or at least get an answering sig nal. Unhappily, however, we are such puny creatures, cosmicauy considered, as puny in mind probably as in body, that we can do nothing to assist the Mar tians in the commendable enterprise in which they are engaged or even to make known to them our reciprocal interest in what they are trying to do. Our cosmi- cal cousins on the extraordinarily peace ful planet which incongruously has so warlike a name may from the known physical conditions of their world be 50 times more efficient than we are in all physical enterprises; and as their world is much older than ours and has given consequently a much longer time for th evolution process to go on it is to be pre sumed that they are also much in ad vance of us intellectually. They may well have inventions and appliances of which we have not yet begun even to dream, methods of communication in comparison with which our wireless tel egraph would be hopelessly antiquated; they may easily be able to make a sig nal that can be seen by us. But we cannot make a return signal that can be seen by them. If we ever do receive a veridic message from Mars we shall be unable, so far as can now be seen, rither to answer or even to acknowledge it. Providence Journal. Strikers Arrested. Detroit.

Miss Stella Baker has fre quently visited here the guest of her uncle, and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Baker. Among the most seriously damaged buildings in North Topeka is the Fres bvterian church. It is found necessary to take down the entire structure which is of stone. The church building was erected in 1879-80. The ground on which it stands was formerly a' swamp and no suitable foundation was put in. As a result of the flood the foundation walls are giving out, making the entire reconstruction of the buliding necessary. The Kansas Avenue M.

Crap Shooters Are Treated to a Surprise. Game Is Raided and Arrests Are Made. GAME IS CALLED OFF. Officers Decide Not to Play the Asylum. A Kabblt Chase With Exciting Consequences. Last night the gendarmes having been informed that some negroes were in a room over A. Samuels- clothing store, where they were shouting rrapa during the rinsed season, contrary, etc., drop ped down on that location in a bunch. The entrance of the police was quite sudden, and some of the gamest were caught with the goods on them. The officers used the transom route to gain entrance to the room. Little Willie Reed, the bold boy detective, was the first to REED OPENED THE DOOR. break In. He placed a step ladder against the door, and dived through the transom into the room. Then he oblig ingly opened ?e door for the other officers Just as Asher had mounted the ladder to follow him. When the ladder went down Asher followed, after hang ing for abrief instant by hl3 chin, and it required a diagram to separate him from the ladder. Those who rose hastily and picked up the bones and small change, seven in all, were surrounded and chased down to the keep. They gave their names as J. W. Ewing, Wil liam Johnson, Jess Thomas, Oscar Alex ander, Oliver Richardson, Claud Mc Cain and Ben Frazeur. When searched at the Jail it was discovered that the game was not one of the kind where fortunes change hands. The cash found on them individually ranged from noth ing at all to $1.85. They will have a hearing tomorrow. It Is alleged by certain police officers that Officers C. C. Smith and "Wood ward attempted to arrest a jack rabbit last night for fast driving, disorderly conduct, malicious trespass or some- THE ANIMAL AGREED TO LEAVE TOWN. thing of that kind, but were foiled. The animal had his rabbit's foot with him, and escaped. According to the story, the officers accosted the bun at the cor ner of Fourth and Kansas avenue, and chased him about four miles befoie he finally agreed to leave town. The game with the Asylum has been called off by Manager Miler of the al leged police nine. As an excuse, he says some of the star players have got to attend four o'clock court this afternoon, and Judge Hamilton won't adjourn to accommodate them. Miler announced today that there won't be any police nine, but that a "city nine" will be es tablish d, which will contain soma gocd players, among them H. Ward Pace, license collector, and some of the fire men. Judge Hamilton stayed by the officer of the law In the case of Chas. Korta. the U. P. watchman who was arrested Saturday night for interfering with an officer. The case came up in police court last evening, and Riley, who made the arrest, told how it happened. It seems that Riley had arrested a bunch of bums, and was holding them at the U. P. depot pending the arrival of the dark Maria, when Mr. Kortz. watchman of the U. P. yards, arrived and ordered Riley to release the vic tims, as a policeman had no right to make a pinch on railroad property without HIS consent. Then he con tinued in the same strain, and told Riley a lot about the Topeka police force which would have tickled the ear of the "late" Rev. Dr. McFarland. Then he exposed to the weather a sta bearing the sign of a deputy, which he calculated would make the officer drop dead. But Riley, instead of fainting, announced that his star was the larg est and that Mr. Kortz would oblige him greatly by adding himself to the bunch of hoboes who were awaiting transportation. After hearing the facts in the case Judge Hamilton fined Mr. Kortz $10 for interfering with an offi cer. Kortz appealed the case. NEW THEATER SIGNS. Front of tba Crawford Will Blaze With Electricity. "Workmen are putting up two large electric signs in front of the Crawford theater. The signs are each 13 feet 2 Inches by 7 feet. The two inches are put on to keep away bad luck. A font of electric letters belongs to each sign, and with the letters the name of the attraction at the theater will be an nounced each night by electricity. Manager Crawford is going in heav for electric signs for next season. Al his new St. Louis theater he ha3 an electric sign In the form of a hand seven feet lone JUDGE I1AZEN IS AWAY. He and County Attorney Are Hunt. iag Frog. The legal and prosecuting machinery of Shawnee county is at a standstill. The district court room is empty. Judge Hazen and County Attorney Otis Hungate have gone to Rossville after bullfrogs. They have promised to supply all the county officers with enough frog hams for their Sunday din ners. Bailiff John Coyne is keeping worms off his tomato vines in Pleasant Valley and the members of the regular panel of jurors are mostly fanning. FOUR MORE FOR MACHEN Federal Grand Jury Continues to Grind Out Indictments. Washington, July 31. The federal grand jury here which has been con sidering cases arising from the postal Investigation has agreed upon four ad ditional indictments for conspiracy against August W. Machen. the former general superintendent of the free deliv ery service of the postotfice department, and an indictment of another party, a private individual here, in connection with a postal contract for presenting a false claim to the government. The four new indictments of Machen are based on separate and distinct transactions and wholly apart from the indictments reported against him sev eral weeks ago by the grand Jury for conspiracy. Machen is now in this city under bond. The fifth indictment re lates to the transaction of a man sup posed to be in the west, who will be placed under arrest as soon as the offi cers can find him. Greek Constitution Needs Revision. Athens. July SI. The recently started movement for the revision of the Gre k constitution is securing many adherents of all classes. The revisionist societies have sent a manifesto to the electors throughout the country in the form of a petition to the king. This document, which is being extensively signed, gives a sombre picture of the internal conditions of Greece, characterizes the political parties as iniqui tious, urges a number of necessary reforms and declares that a revision of the con stitution is indispensable to the well-being of the country. Snubs Modern Maccabees. Milwaukee, Wis., July 31. The insur ance commissioner today refused the application of the Modern Maccabees of Ann Arbor, Mich., to do business in this state. One objection was that the or der has not set aside an emergency fund to the amount of one death or disability assessment and another that its name was too much like the Lady Maccabees of the World of Port Huron, Mich., now doing business here. Stole Trousers and Cash. New Castle, Dela.; July 31. Manager Robert W. Carberry of the George Moore farm, near this city, visited friends in Wilmington last night." AVhile returning to the farm shortly after mid night he was held up by three men. one of whom knocked him senseless with a sandbag. "When he came to his senses $72 was missing, together with his coat, trousers, hat and one shoe. BUKTON AND TILLMAN. How John Waters Managed Their Debate. John Waters has return from a trip east. "While riding between Chicago and Moline, 111., he was on the same train with Senator Burton and Senator Till man, who are touring the country and debating on the negro problem. Till man and Burton were having a private discussion of the question. Waters and other passengers invited the two sena tors to the smoker to debate. Both ac cepted and the debate started with Wa ters as referee. Tillman and Burton be came interested and gave as much zest to the impromptu debate as they would from a platform. When the debate was closed Waters suggested that the peo ple in the smoker vote on the question of which senator won. The ballot stood 8 to 8. Waters sug gested that the colored por.ter be called to cast the deciding vote. "You may vote him," said Tillman with a smile, "but you can't count him. I don't want to get into that habit." II EK AFFECTIONS STOLEN. Now John Hillman Wants a Divorce from Wife. John Jlillman has asked the district court, when the court gets back from a frog hunt, to divorce him from Cora Hillman. Mr. Hillman claims in his petition that one Thomas Jones stole the affec tions of his wife. He says he loved her and was good to her but she finally de serted him and he does not know where to find her. I'KOGRESS.

The Kansas State Dairy association, acting in conjunction with the Kansas State Exposition company," has placed all dairy exhibits in the hands of Mr. A. E. Jones of Topeka, superintendent dairy department. Last year no show ing was made in this line, but the man agers are confident of a generous dis play this year of both creamery and farm butter, and also a fall showing of Kansas cheese. Liberal cash prizes are offered in the regular dairy classification, as well as a number of special cash premiums, which should induce butter and cheese makers to contribute nothing but the best, such as will reflect great credit on the state. The dairy exhibit will have commodi ous quarters in the new merchants and manufacturers' buijding with such re frigeration as will preserve all dairy goods in a perfect and natural state. The awards will be made under the na tional association rules with the folio w lowing scale of points: Butter Flavor 45. grain 30, color 15, salting 10. Total, 100. Cheese Flavor CO, quality 30, texture 20, color 10, salting 10. Total, 100. An oppc-al is made to all dairymen in Kansas to make as large and fine dis play this year as possible, and thus gain some idea of what will need to be done next year when our dairy products will come into competition with all the great dairy stales at the World's fair in St Louis. The full premium list will be sent out soon. For information, write to C. H. Samson, secretary Kansas State Ex position company, or A. E. Jones, su perintendent Dairy Department, Topeka.

Although hundreds of heavily armed men are now engaged in the search for the twelve surviving prisoners who escaped from the Folsom prison on Monday morning, the outlaws remain masters of the situation. They have succeeded In eluding their pursuers and the ulti mate escape of at least a portion of the irang teems highly Drobnble. Since the fatal fight at I'llot Hill on Monday night In which one of the convicts was killed the others have not been seen, unless the story of Wm. Green, a cowboy, who says he met two armed mm In Placer county today and after wards identified them by photogiaphs as a couple of the outlaws, proves to be true. Even this affords but a slight clew, though It is being followed by the officers. The conviction Is growing the fWing men are headed for the Sierra Nevada mountains and are being aidtd by ex-convicts who reside along the route. The people throuch this section of the state are greatly alarmed, not withstanding the presence of man) reace officers and a company of militia.

"Woods, the leader of the escaped con victs, is said by the prisoners here to have been a soldier with the I. S. reg ulars in the Philippines.

He was regarded as a hero among the convicts, who say he was once sur. rounded by a detachment of troops and managed to break through their lines at night, and gathering a force of Fili pinos captured the IT. S. soldiers and had them shot to death. Later Woods was captured and tried by a mixed court martial on a charge of desertion and aiding the enemy. He was con victed, but the secretary of war disap proved of the findings for the reason that Woods being a regular could not be held by the decision of a mixed court martial. By some means or other Woods was never tried again and he returned to America. It is said he led the Filipinos in many encounters and is thoroughly familiar with the tactics ot guerilla warfare.

The Chicago Live Stock World gives a pointer to F. D. Coburn, chief of the live stock department ot the St. Louis exposition.

Cincinnati has a pair to contribute which for downright cussedness will take all rib bons In that class. This pair the other day were hitched to a wagon contain ing nine people and while crossing the Pennsylvania track, a fast train whis tled and they stopped with the wagon in the middle of the track and refused to budge until the train had gone by. Four people were instantly killed, three fa tally injured, two seriously injured and the wagon utterly demolished, but the mules were unhurt. A special from Cin cinnati says: 'It is proposed to send these mules to Chief Coburn, of the live stock exhibit of the St. Louis show, to add to his great mule exhibit.' HE IS STILL BALD.

Topeka people who met Miss Be3 Innes of Wichita, when she visited Miss Harriett Stanley here at the Governor's House during the last administration, will be Interested in a dispatch from Wichita. The marriage of Miss Innes and Dr. W. H. Galland, who is house physician of St. Francis hospital, Wien ita, took place in June and was a large and fashionable event. Miss Harriett Stanley was one of the bridesmaids, and several of the young society people of Topeka wentsdown for it. The dispatch says: Wichita. Kan., July 30. Miss Eva Dorothea Gray of Fond du Lac. Wis., to day sued Dr. W. H. Galland for $10,000 damages for breach of promise. Dr. Gal land and Miss Bessie Innes, a popular society girl of this city, were married June 24. and the same day notice was given that a suit would be filed. Miss Gray, in her bill, stated that Dr. Galland lived in Fond du Lac. and she alleges that the love affair began early in 1S7, and in that year he promised to marry her when he finished his medical education. He graduated from a medi cal school in 1902 and came here during that summer. He has since been house physician at the St. Francis hospital. He i Is an excellent physician and well thought of here. The announcement that a suit would be filed caused great surprise. RED PAINT Used to Make Green Tomatoes Ap pear to Be Ripe. Philadelphia, July 31, State Dairy and Food Commissioner Warren has announced that retail srrocers here te cently have received among the orders for canned tomatoes, packages which upon close examination proved to be a miscellaneous assortment of vegetables, including a few green tomatoes and red paint, the whole having the appeal ance of ripe tomatoes. Agents detailed to investigate found that red paint was used to a great extent in covering worthless and unripe tomatoes and that other coloring matter was also used to give a ripe appearance to worthless canned vegetables of various kinds. t In Conference With Bristow. Washington. July 31. Holmes Conrad and Chas. J. Bonaparte, special counsel to assist the government in the prose- I cutions growing out of tne postoftice investigation, were in conference here today with Mr. Bristow and Assiriant Attorney General Robb, familiarizing themselves with the situation. aturday SAFE IN CANADA. Mrs. D. J. Kellej's Whereabouts No Longer in Doubt. Jefferson City, July 31. Mrs. Daniel J. Kelley, wife of the baking nowder lobbyist, is in Canada. If the plans 01 her friends made for her before she left did not miscarry she reached Niagara-on-the-Lake. where her hus band is stopping, last evening. Nobody expects to see her in Jeffer son City again. She took the first train east Srter the grand jury subpoena was served on her and made close connec tions in St. Louis for further east. Some people misht not have blamed Mrs. Kelley for wanting to leave Jeffer son City during the four days she would have had to wait before he. time to testify, although she could have told her story and got away next Mon day. But it was not the intention of the attorneys for the defense that she should testify before the grand jury. Neither did Kelley intend when ho sent her to Missouri that she should be come a grand jury witness. "Will we ever see her again?" a man closely connected with the defense was asked. "I don't think she will come back to Missouri." he said In a guarded way, and then smiled. "Where did she go?" "I understand her present address is somewhere in Canada," he answi-ted. Mrs. Kelley is supposed to have in formation that would be valuable to the prosecution. The fact that she was thoroughly familiar with her husband's business affairs is the reason Attorney Oeneral Crow wantpH ti. tr tpjtlfv She had the Lee letters. Possibly the I grana lurv mint nave sent for them and that might have disarranged th plans of the defense. It was evidently on advice more than on her own accord that the little woman turned her back on Missouri and traveled so fast. In connection with the continuance of the boodle cases it has been whispered around all week that the attorney gen j eral had an extra card in his sleeve that he was carrying around with him I the material for a surprise to the de- j fense. What it is nobody has said and perhaps nobody but the attorney gen eral knows. Another feature that was annoying to the defense was the call for a grand jury to meet before the cases could possibly be finished. That would mean that some of the witnesses called for the defense might go from the court room to the grand jurv room and there undergo a very severe line of questioning. That might have f ten dency to confuse some plans. GOLD IN INDIANA WELL. Diggers Say Particles Taken from Black Sand Are Yellow Metal. Indianapolis, July 31. Frank Renner, a well digger, went to the farm of Sam uel Bowman near Taylorville yesterday afternoon to dig a well. They struck water at a depth of about 12 feet and pumped some of it out. With the water came a black sand. A heavy sediment was found in this sand, which soon set tled to the bottom. In the sand wre many glittering particles which the two men claim to be gold. Several buckets of the water and sand were brought to the surface, and each time the supply oi goia panned out more plentifully. The news was not long in spreading to the neighbors, and before long a large crowd had gathered to see and hear of the wonders of the new found gold field. The well where the gold is found is half a mile from Driftwood, a branch of White river, and in a direct line with the Brown county veins. Menelik Will Coin Money. Washington, July 31.

Prices yielded a fraction all around with a ft'w exceptions. Pennsylvania rose V point, but ft 11 back to below last night. The early selling forced United States Steel preferred and Kansas and Texas preferred down a point and Virginia-Carolina Chemical 2 points. Considerable buy ing orMhe local tractions and supporting orders for Atchison. Union Pacific, United States Steel preferred and Amalgamated Copper then turned the market upwards. Atchison made a full recovery on short covering despite a decrease in the June net earnings of $641,395. Metropolitan Securi ties advanced 3 points. Metropolitan Street Railway 2H points. General Electric 2V points and Manhattan. Brooklyn Transit, Smelting preferred and North American 1 to l'li points.

Atchison fell back to below 62. but fluctua tions in other leaders were trivial. Pere Marquette recovered its loss. Early trading in the stock market was attended by renewed talk of financial em barrassments There was further liquida tion in some of the specialties and in creased pressure against Atchison. The Rock Island bond issue announcement was without ill effect. Later a better tone was shown bv almost the entire list, but at midday tne market was almost at a stand still.

Written for the State Journal. (6:30 P. M.) Sunday evening. Just at sunset. Came a brave youth to our dwelling: Came he with an invitation Which included all the maidens. And the spoken invitation. Falling from his lips in kindness. Met with sure and certain answer. Thusly was the question worded Thusly also was it answered: "W ill you go with me to VinewoodT Will you be my huckleberry?" And in concert came the answer: "Yes, we'll go with you to Vinewood; We will be your huckleberries." (7 P. M.) So we started for the" street car; Waited, waited at the corner. Then we started out to walk it Walked we to the transfer station. There we took a car for Vinewood And we stood and held on tightly Firmly, to what e'er was next us. AndSve watched the sunset fading. While the crescent moon grew brighter, And the twinkling stars, appearing Filled with glory all the heavens. When we reached our destination. Which was not till eight and after. We were wearied with the jolting. But the music calmed our spirits. Filled us with a glad rejoicing. So we wandered mid the grasses Where the chiggers lived and flourished, And we added entertainment To their lives within the wildwood. (9:30 P. M.) When the lights had grown and lessened And the darkness pressed us onward. Then we hied us to the station. Hoping there to find a street car Which would take us out from Vinewood, Bear us quickly to the city. But alas! We waited vainly. Vainly waited on the. platform Till the chickens crowed and cackled. And the morn was fast approaching. (11:30 P. M". But at last, with rare good fortune. Just when hope was disappearing. t ame n car, ana. ere twras quite mil, We had found a wobbly foothold. On our hands and knees we found it. Forth we rode from out the wildwood. Shouting farewells to the people, To the hundreds left behind us. (12:30 A. M.) But our trouble was not over. For th car ahead had trailers Which did leave the track at crossings. Left at grades and cuts between them. It was Just outside the city That the worst was to befall us. For an axle broke in pieces: Broke, and stalled all cars behind It. (1:00 A. M This was on the bridge at Twelfth street Viaduct is what we term li. And from thence we homeward Journeyed On our poor tired feet walked limping, As did nil the other people Who had picnicked in the wildwood. (1:45 A. M.) ho!" exclaimed 'Westward, the brave youth; Westward, ho! Girls, can you make It?" "Yes," we answered: "can you doubt It.' And we showed that we were equal To a walk down Tenth street home. (2:30 A. M.) We reach our house on Monday morning, Found our ma and pa were scorning Peaceful sleep and dreams delightrul. Were they frightened? Never tninit n. FYvr fhe teleohone had told them. Had Informed them of the axle. Of the axle, which was broken. rfi:00 A. M.l Workmen starting for their duties In the sunrise Monday morning, Told of sad but wiser people Thev had met, then just returning From the concert out at Vlnewooa, From the Sunday evening concert.

We did succeed, however, in producing a splendid sourmash an Imitation that can not be told from the genuine at a cost of about 8 cents a gallon.
