Fifty-two years ago this very day the yacht America, in a race for a cup offered by Queen Vic toria, won a prize which since that day has become recognized as the most 'Highly Bought trophy in the yachting world. The courageous Commodore Stevens, after many refusals, was finally permitted to enter a contest against English boats to be sailed around the Isle of Wight, and so well did he sail his yacht that the remark has become historical. "There was no second." A true, clean contest which can leave mo doubt of superierity such as fluky 'winds permit, should result today in the race between Reliance and Shamrock III for the prize which so long has been coveted by the English yachtsmen. The wind at 8 a. m. blew steadily out of the west-southwest at a rate of from I to 10 knots and from a perfectly cloud less sky. There was every indication that the matchless yachts representing two nations would sail a finished race. T'he breeze which had died down some- f f hat during the night had shifted to the uthwest and Increased in strength as Use Bun rose. A perfect day broke and e a hum the air was dry and cool with no in dications of the return of the sultry conditions which prevailed at the same time on Friday. The sea still had somewhat of a roll and there was not a little surf break ing along the Jersey shore. The wind was strong enough to send along coast ing vessels at a lively rate. Some of the little fishing vessels, anticipating an in creased wind before the day was over, had one or two reefs in their main sails. With the wind a little to the westward of southwest there was considerable speculation as to the direction in which the committee would send the yachts. It would be impossible to start the race from the Sandy Hook lightship and send them either to windward or to leeward for 15 miles without having the turn ing mark either on the Jersey or the Long Island shores. It would seem as if the committee would change the starting point from the lightship four or rive miles eastward and send the yachts on a 15 miles beat toward the Jetsey shore with the turning mark Just off Long Branch. On the other hand a shift of wind more to the westward would compel the committee to change the mark to the neighborhod of the Scotland lightship and send the boats on a run to leeward with the turning mark off Long Beach on theLong Island shore The conditions governing today's race will te the same as those of Thurs day, the fluke counting as no race, so that 15 miles to windward and return will be the course. At Sandy Hook bay all was activity and bustle on board the racing craft as early as 6 o'clock, and the prospect of fast racing veather seemed to imbue the men with more life. Before 7 o'clock both boats had put their jibs and staysails in stops and taken the covers off their mainsails, while the eaiitains and mates of each boat had been ;board and inspected blocks and tackles. Both Captain Barr of Reliance and Captain Wringe of Shamrock III were jubilant. Captain Barr said: "Jf this blow continues, and it looks as if it would, we'll have a great race in good time"; and Captain Wring said: "This is Shamrock weather; we can do it in this." At S:30 o'clock the wind was blowing at fullv 12 miles an hour from the southwest and with no sign of abate ment or change of direction. This would lay the course down the Jersey coast close in to shore and the wind not abating would get the race off with in three hours. "Lee rails will be under water today," said Sir Thomas Lipton as he took his early morning constitutional on the deck of the Erin nd I look for great j things for my boat Shamrock III will be remeasured in Krie basin Monday morning in the presence of a representative of Reli ance. Lew is Cass Ledyards, chairman of the racing committee of the New York Yacht club, notified Sherman Crawford, vice commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht squadron, to that effect in the following telegram: "Mr. Iselin reports that you informed him, just before starting on Thursday's race, that Shamrock III when measured did not have the anchor and cable on board before starting. You reported it also to the regatta committee. This, if true, would require a new measurement under the agreement, before starting another race. I appreciate that it would be impossible now for you to procure a measurement before starting tomorrow, and understand that the re gatta committee has requested that Shamrock III be remeasured on Mon day. L'nder the circumstances, know ing that the error arose from an over sight, our committee is willing that your boat shall start tomorrow, but subject to the new measurement to be taken on Monday next. The vessel on such measurement is to be exactly in the same trim as when sailing Satur day, which fact will be established by your own statement Lewis Cass Led yard." Mr. Crawford's answer was: "Thanks for telegram. We were meas ured without anchor and chain aboard. We had no anchor or chain on board during the first race and we find thev are required by the rules. We propose with your permission to sail tomorrow with the same trim as measured and then carry out your wishes bv remeas uring on Monday with the anchor ami chain aboard. If your committee ha any more suggestions we will meet them with pleasure. CRAWFORD." C. D. Mower, the official measurer of the New York Yacht club, notified Mr. Crawford this morning that he would measure the yacht at Erie Basin Mon day morning with a representative of the Reliance on board. Nobody aboard either yacht would discuss the meas urement of the Shamrock with her an chor and chain aboard. Sir Thomas Lipton said, however: It was all an oversight and the yacht club representatives were only made cogniz ant of being measured without thein when we told them. Neither their rep resentative nor ours present at the meas uring noticed the error at the time. It won't make any difference." When Shamrock. Ill was first meas ured the hatches had to be removed and two light weight men substituted for two heavier ones in the crew to keep the water line inside of 90 feet. This brought her up to 89.81 feet. The an chor and chain weigh as much as two men and it is thought that when the yacht shall be remeasured there will be some difficulty in getting inside the watery line maximum. A lew seconds difference in the race today might make the result dependent on the remeasura ment. Reliance started up her main sail at 8:30 and five minutes later took a line from tender and with jib and stay sail in stops and main sail set. left the Hook for the start. The Shamrock followed her a few minutes later. She did not take a line from the cruiser but broke out her jib and stay sail and with her main sail seted, sail out of the harbor, a very pretty sight. After Reliant e had rounded the Hook she set her club top sail. Reliance clung to her tender until 9:30 when she dropped the tow and started down the coist. Reliance seemed to have trouble in setting her club top sail and a sailor was in her shrouds trying to remove tne difficulty. She signalled her tender and was again taken in tow which she did not drop until she had arrived at the light ship. By 10 o'clock both the yachts had ar rived in the vicinity of the starting line and had set all the sails which th-y intended to carty across the line. I!y this hour the first of the excursion fleet had begun to appear. The wind stea.l Ily increased and the wind gauged show ed that the yachts would have a whole sail breeze of about 10 knots an hour to start with. The committee boat, followed by the racers and the excursion fleet, set out easterly for the new starting point (Continued on Page Fourteen.) FOUNDGUILTY. Entire Humbert Family Has Been Convicted." Madame Humbert's Statement Was a Disappointment. MADE RAMBLING TALK That Carried No Conviction to Minds of Jurors. Told a New Story Regarding the Crawl'ords. Paris, Aug. 22. All the members f the Humbert family have been found guilty. In the course of a speech in court to day Madame Therese Humbert an nounced that the real name of Crawford was Regnier, who was the intermediary between Prince Bismarck and Marshal Bazaine at the time of the surrender of Metz. The expectation that today would bring the conclusion of the Humbert trial renewed the intense public interest in the case. The court room was again crowded. Among the throng were a number of American lawyers and tour ists, who secured favored places through the efforts of the United States embassy. The prisoners maintained the same outward aspect of calm. Madame Hum bert walked in haughtily and surveyed the crowd with a scornful air. Dr. Floquet who examined the prisoner be fore she came into court, found her to be in good health and showing no signs ot nervous breakdown under the strain of the culmination of the trial. Advocate Hesse addressed the court at length in defense of Romain D'Aurignac, pointing out his brotherly devotion throughout the trials to his siFter, Madame Humbert. Counsel severely criticized the decla ration of M. Patenotre, the former French ambassador at Madrid, that he did not know Madame Humbert, and invited the jury to request the presiding judge to give some certain private let ters in one of which, M. Hesse asserted, M Ta tartrtirt thaxib-rl TV1 a H n mis Wnm- bert for adornments which she had sent mm tor his salon. Outside the court room the public everywhere awaited the verdict and discussed the prospects. At the conclusion of the pleading Madame Humbert arose, amid an in tense hush throughout the court room, to make her promised revelations. She seemed to be laboring under a great effort, and paused after her first em phatic statement that the Crawfords and the millions existed. Then she said formallv: "Gentlemen of the Jury When I wanted to know the address of M. Crawford he answered. 'You can not know me. I am not called Crawford. I am not known by that name.' 'Then what name?' I asked. "He replied, 'My fortune was made during the war of 1870 by reinvestments of rentes, which were then very low. and a large quantity was bought here.' Madame Humbert paused again, lengthilv. and then continued: "His name is Regnier, the intermediary between Marshal Bazine and the Ger mans. I had already transacted busi ness with one Regnier who appeared to me to be a mysterious personage and who said to me: 'Be careful, Madame, not to confuse me with the notorious Regnier'. "That is how I suddenly learned Crawford's name. I never told my hus band. I swear on my daughter's head. This is the first time he hears the name." Addressing the presiding judge, Mad ame Humbert went on, exclaiming: "What I say is true. The Crawfords exist, the fortune exists and I, Madame Humbert, will bring action against the Crawfords." Turning to the jury again Madame Humbert said: "Gentlemen, I will not say anv more. It is enough to tell you the fortune ex ists and I never cheated any one. Now you have the whole Humbert case and the whole Crawford case." Madame Humbert continued making a rambling, indefinite statement criti cizing M. Valle, the minister of justice, in connection with the Cattauics, as serting her truthfulness and declaring that when acquitted here creditors would be able to find her. She would do her duty, she said, and if any one offered her money she would show him the door. She concluded: "I have full complete confidence and now I await my fate." A prolonged movement among the spectators followed the statement which caused a general feeling of disappoint ment, owing to tne inconclusive nature of Mine. Humbert's declarations. Maitre Labori, addressing the jury. said "Now you have the secret of Madame Humbert. She has told you the same as she told me." Counsel continuing, read a sketch of Regnier from a biographical dictionary, which stated that Regnier played a con siderable secret part in the war of 1870, and that he acted as intermediary between Prince Bismarck and Marshal Bazine. Maitre Labori said he had been un able to learn what eventually became of Regnier. After being condemned to death by court martial Regnier disap peared. The minister of war should be able to furnish information a3 to what became of him. Counsel concluded with an eloquent plea to the jury not to condemn the prisoners, which aroused loud applause. The president of the court then declared the arguments closed and read the 260 questions submitted to the jury. The jury retired at 2:30 p. m. and the pris oners withdrew. M. Humbert and Emile D'Aurignac looked greatly de nressd. while Madame Humbert and Romain D'Aurignac mai-tained their indifferert attitude. The spectators re mained, anxiously awaiting the verdict. The general feeling was ore of stupe faction at the utter futility of Mine. Humbert's revelations. The court sentenced Mme. Humbert and her husb ind each to five years im prisonment and to a hundred francs fine. Emile D'Auritfpac was sentenced to two years imprisonment. Romain D'Aurig nac was sentenced to thres years impris onment. Madame and M. Humbert will undergo solitary confinement dring their term of imprisonment. Weather Indications. Chicago. Aug. 22.

Emporia Football Team Looks Promising. Emporia, Kas., Aug. 22 The outlook at the Kansas State Normal for a pros- i perous year in football is most en i courasing. The season will open with more of the old men back than ever I before. Among tlv-- last year's stars who will be se?n in uniform this year j are Hersley. Meek, Gist, FinKlea, Da I vies, McFarland, ilargls, Kent, and many others who have played good ball at the Normal. Turkieson, tne giani. tackle, who achieved such a reputation three years ago under Coach Lamb, will be in school again this year. Snell. an eastern man. who has played at Andover academy, Massachusetts, and who is said to be a crack, will try for full. Botsford, who coached the team last year, will have the team in charge again this year and is confident of a winning team. The material is excel lent, and with the experience gained last year the team will be fit to cope with any in the state. The manage ment has secured a large brick build ing close to the Normal field for train ing quarters, and will operate their own training table this year. There will also be rooms enough to accommodate reg ular members of the team. Several weeks ago tne management put in an order for suits enougn to tit out forty men. and it is expected that more will be needed. The interest in football at K. S. N. this year is greater than ever before, and the growing en thusiasm for the past three years shows that this school will soon rank with other state institutions in athletics. The schedule is a strong one, and will include games with K. S. A. C. Ottawa, Washburn, Bethany, Iv. L Oklahoma university, and v. arrensnurcr, mo. tne game with the latter will be plaved at Kansas City, Mo., on the morning of Thanksgiving day. Several good trips have also been arranged for the second team. W OUT II $30 AN OUNCE. Collector of Customs Seizes 100 Pounds of Ambergris. Seattle, Aug. 22. Deputy Collector of Customs Thomas B. Delaney and In- rant trusts of the country. He is abso spector Stephen A. Brinker yesterday lutely independent of the trusts and the seized 100 pounds of ambergris, alleged to have been stolen at Victoria three days ago. The value of the concretion is f.t the present wholesale market list $30 an ounce, making the seizure worth about $48,000. The sloop in which the valuable cargo was brought over from the Canadian side is a small craft and has been seized. The canture is the largest that has ever been made within this district, and the federal authorities' reason for act ing is that the cargo was brought into the country without manifest and no registration. Hardly had they completed their work when Cant. Grant, manager of the Canadian whaling fleet, and Capt. Adams, master of a whaler which has just returned to Victoria from a cruise in which the ambergris was picked up in midocean, arrived in this city, claim ing the property as their own, and charging a sailor with the theft of tlvs sama- There is no duty on the importation of ths? stuff, and the only reason that can be assigned for its entering here without a register is, that being stolen, if the charge is true, it could be easily trac-.

BOOM FORHEARST Kansas Democrats Seem to Fa vor 'the Editor. Certain to Have Large Follow ing in Convention. MACHINE OPPOSES MM. Rank and File Appear to Re gard Him With Favor. Horton and Smith County Pa pers Declare Themselves. The Democrats ara not occupying the center of the political stage in Kansas to any great extent, but they are siz ing up the various candidates w ho are mentioned for the Democratic presiden tial nomination and discussing them among themselves. The boom of W. R. Hearst seems to be growing in favor among Kansas Democrats, and it is very probable that he will nave a strong following in the Democratic state convention next spring. While being an eastern uemo crat, he has given Bryan faithful sup port both times he has been nominated, and for this reason he would probably be acceptable to the Bryan Democrats. The machinery of the Democratic party in Kansas, however, is in the hands of the anti-Bryan Democrats, and it is doubtful if Hearst would be acceptable to them. Many of the rank and file of. the Dem ocrats, however, are declaring tor Hearst: Senator Harry McMillan led off in Kansas for Hearst in an inter view in the State Journal thiee months ago. Since then a considerable number of other influential Democrats have come out for Hearst. This week the Horton Commercial and the Smith County Journal declare for him. The former is a straight Democratic paper and the latter is a Populist organ. Clyde McManigal. of the Horton Com mercial, publishes the following en dorsement of Hearsts "The Commercial favors the nomina tion of William Randolph Hearst, qf New 1'ork, for the Democratic nominee for president. This announcement will not startle the whole political system nor will it manufacture any saecial sentiment in Mr. Hearst's favor, but it is a fact today that Mr. Hearst comes nearer representing the political views of the Democratic party than any liv ing man. Mr. Hearst is great, he is ,.-;t. vo io hnnMt nr) above all he is a representative man. In the first "place become contaminated with the climatic Mr Hearst is the only proprietor of a anhelation." he said, "he will find pal great daMy newspaper in the north who liative febrifuges at the above Indicated lOVailV SUPHOrLe! LtCIVt-l. 111 losi ou 1900. and who fought as hard tor tne ticket as any man on the ticket. Any man nominated in 1904 who did not loyally support the ticket, or who even was lukewarm, will be defeated next year, for the reason that the loyal Dem ocrats in the states of New York, Con necticut and New Jersey will vote- the call at your justly famed establisn Soeialist I-abor ticket, which will give ment. If I have appeared stultified those states absolutely essential to i in my paraphrases of gratitude, it is Democratic success, to the Republicans. I due, believe me. rather to a paucity of Mr Hearst, who has endeared himself j vocabulary than to an insufficient ap- to the laboring people ot the country by fighting their patties at an times, can carrv every center of industrial activity in the country, thus assuring Democratic success in the states of Connecticut. New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Illinois and Cali fornia, which means Democratic victory in the nation, and victory is what we are after. A man who has the business interests at stake as those possessed by Mr. Hearst, whose pay roll amounts to over $4,000,000 a year, and who has never had a controversy with a single man ever on that pay roll, can not help being a satisfactory candidate to the thousands of conservative business men of the country who did not support the ticket in the campaigns of 1S96 and 1900. He is the very apotheosis of anti trust, the only man in the country who has ever gone after the fusts with his own money and made them tremble, and the trust question will be uppermost in the next campaign, hence this man is a Democratic platform in himself. He is the very embodiment of JefTersonian and Jacksonian Democracy. He is a man who can hold all the vote that Bryan cot and add to it the vote of labor regardless of past political affili ation, also the vote of thousands of men who are in business and whose business is jeopardized by the cormo- money interests of the country, and possesses the money personally to give the party the greatest campaign ever waged in the nation, and can duplicate every dollar of fat fried out of the trusts by the Republican campaign managers. He is young, an able ex ecutive, a philanthropist, a humani tarian, an honest lover of justice to the people. In short, he can win if nomi nated." The Smith County Pioneer extends the right hand of fellowship to Webb Mc Nall in his return to the Republican fold, but it carefully warns him that he must not expect to get next to the Re publican pie counter too soon. Ewing Herbert this week publishes In his Hiawatha World "A Plain State ment" of why the county printing of Brown county was taken away from him and given to the Hiawatha Demo crat, when the Republicans had a ma jority of the county commissioners. Her bert's friends have been claiming hereto fore that it was because Herbert is for Curtis and that Cy Leland was to blame for it. The Democrat last week stated that the county commissioners took the printing away from Herbert because he tried to overcharge the county and got caught at it. Herbert's "plain state ment" this week is in reply to the Dem ocrat's charges. He does not deny try ing to overcharge the county, but he justifies his action by saying that the commissioners wanted to "cut some thing," and so he charged the county $150 for what the law allows at legal rates about $90. He admits that it was perfectly proper to cut the bill, but says: "The bill was not only made in this form to get near the lawful rate, after a cut, but to satisfy Commissioner Wil lis, who wanted to cut something. Often he cut the World's bill clear to the flesh when it wasn't put in to be cut, and so a bill was prepared at a flat rate which he could whittle at without distressing the printers interested. This bill held him for a time, but in July he cut he $150 bill to $90, which was proper, and also cut the $90 bill to $49.20, which was improper." Mx. Herbert further Justifies his action by saying that he has helpedtRepubli cans into county offices but has for years been forced to do the county printing at 60 per cent of the legal rates. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the merits of the Burton Tillman delate at the Lincoln Chau tauqua among some of the neighbor ing editors.' The Beloit Times says: "The dignified, logical and eloquent manner in which Senator Burton dis cussed the race problem with Senator Tillman, has made him many new friends, and solidified his old ones." The Cawker City Record man heard exactly the same speech and referring in general to the debate between me two senators he says: "In short it was a cut and dried af fair, and they locked arms and jour neyed together to Madison, Ind., to re peat it. It is a mountebank perform ance for notoriety by both. Neither is an example of emulation for the youth. They are both coarse and vul gar in their every day language off the platform, and neither is endowed with the higher sentiments that would be expected of men in their positions. They are both discreditable to the high positions they occupy. Tillman made no pretensions to acknowledging the Deity, but Burton's frequent harp ing on 'God's divine law,' and 'God Almighty'." intentions.' and similar ex pressions, were sacrilegious in the ex treme, coming as they did from one whose whole life is notoriously cor rupt." The majority of people who take an Interest in fha uta HOUR work do not seem to blame either Tillman or Burton, because they both probably need Ine money they get for doing their noted race problem stunt, but many people think both senators are out of place on a Chautauqua platform, which is sup posed to be for the purpose of stimu lating culture and morality. Clark Conkling, of the Lyons Repub lican, hands down the. following judic ial opinion: Neither the "Machine nor the "anti-machine" would get much credit out of the promotion of Judge W. A. Johnston to the U. S. district judgeship, but the people wouic, gei a. learned judge, a man ot even. juuilii poise, who would interpret the law in an able and impartial manner. We would like to see our senators and tne congressional delegation unite in recom mending him. Mean comment by the Hutchinson News: So far the Topeka papers have not been able to show that Dan An thony's candidacy for the congression al nomination in the First district is un constitutional. But, wait, the game is young yet. The New York Times tells the follow ing good storv about Senator Burton: Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas while in Hawaii with the congressional com mission, wan sitting one morning in the dining room of a Honolulu hotel. A Japanese, in Occidental dress of extreme fashion, who was sitting close by, heard Mr. Burton addressed as senator. He rose, walked over to the Kansan and presented his card. Jt yoir cnarmmg excenency wnuum nnnuvii The senator was astonished, but long years in politics have developed a sin gular readiness, and he answered in kind: "Your Samaritan commisserations overcome me. sir.

After adjournment the delegates were taken to inspect the battleship Nebras ka now under construction at Moran's ship yard. EMPEROR IS TIRED. Rumor of Francis Joseph's Im pending Abdication. Vienna. Aug. 22. Rumors are again in circulation of the possible abdica tion of Emperor Francis Joseph as king of Hungary because he is tired of the continued political struggle. Both Austrian official circles and the Hun garian opposition discredit the reports, the latter believing them to be spread by the government with the view of in ducing the abandonment of the aggres sive attitude of tlie opposition. Private information from Budapest declares the emperor is not ready to grant the army concessions demanded by the Hungar ian diet. READY TO QUIT. Supt. J. S. Simmon?, of Hutct Inson Iteformatory, Resigns. Will Ask to Be Relieved on October 1. HAS OTHER BUSINESS. Expects to Dcvoto His Time lo Banking. He Also Owns a Large Cattle Ranch. Hutchinson, Kas., Aug. 22. John S. Simmons, superintendent of the state reformatory for the last four years, has announced that he will resign, his res ignation to take effect on October 1. His resignation will be presented to the board of managers at their next meet ing, which will be held on August 27 at the reformatory. He made public his intention Friday afternoon, because there will necessarily be movements in dicating a, change within the next few days, and Mr. Simmons prefers to have parties interested know his intentions ti suspecting them. He has accordingly posted this notice where all of the ofii- cers of the institutions could see it: "To the officers: "At the next meeting of the board ot tnanagers I intend to present my resig nation to take effect October 1. "I am assured that my resignation will In no wise affect any other officer." "JOHN S. SIMMONS. "Superintendent." The full causes for Mr. Simmons' resignation are business reasons. Mi. Simmons' brother died at Dighton last year and since then his business there lias demanded more and more of his attention. Besides being a practicing at torney, Mr. Simmons is president ot tha Bank of Dighton, the only one in Lane county, which this year harvested a mil lion bushels of wheat. This great crop throws an immense amount of business! to this single bank, whose affairs de mands his personal attention since the death of his brother. It is known that his salary of $2,000 a year as superin tendent of the reformatory was by far" the smallest part of Mr. Simons' inconns last year, and naturally with constantly growing interests in Lane county he is anxious to be where he can care for them. Aside from being president of the bank, Mr. Simmons is president of tha Simmtns Cattle company, with a ranch of fourteen sections, and besides has a, smaller ranch of his own. This with a. law business that the prosperity of that section is bound to increase, naturally calls tor about all of his time. All this Is stated that it may b? apparent that it is only for business' reasons that Mr. Simmons resigns. Indeed, tire could be no other reason, as he and Governor Bailey are close friends, and his resig nation has never been asked for, al thongh the governor has known all along that Supt. Simmons was ready to stei down if the governor had any other man for the place. It simply be. came a question of serving the state at a great personal sacrifice, and Mr. Sim mons felt that his private interesta should go first in this case. "To be frank with you," he said, in talking of the matter, "I felt that I was too younj and too active a man to tie myself up to this position for life. I felt that I was being shelved. In a lit tle while I would be past the middle of lire, and then 1 wouldn t feel able to get out and go into something else. This feeling, coupled with my private, ousmess. wnicn nas greatly lncrtasea and demanded so much more of my per sonal attention since my brothel's death, caused me to take the action I have talien." Mr. Simmons' resignation does not mean that he will cease to take an In terest in public affairs. On the con trary, he will represent Lane county in, the legislature next term. He has fully decided to be a candidate, and thia is considered equivalent to an election, as he has always had a strong hold oti his home people. Mr. Simmons was a candidate for the state senate in his district, which is now represented by Fred Dumont Smith, in 1896, and ran far ahead of his ticket, although he went down with everybody else in the Populist landslide in the Big Seventh, that vsar. It was four years ago last March that Mr. Simmons came to the Reformatory. He followed Superintendent Case, Gov ernor Leedy's appointee, and found things In a generally disorganized state. In fact, it might be said, that the Re formatory has been built up under his control. There is but one book and not more than two blanks now used in the organization of the institution that were in use then. All the rules for. the gov-, ernment of the prisoners and the man agement of the institution have emana ted from him. He brought everyone of the 19 employes to the institution and. six of them came the same night that he arrived to take charge. So that he' has had free rein in the management of the institution and is willing that the record made shall speak for Itself. uhis record could not be better. The discipline and management is the sub ject of universal congratulation by visi tors, and perhaps can not be more strlk-, ingly shown than in the matter of es-t capes. But two men have left the in-' stitution unwillingly and not to return since Mr. Simmons became superintend ent, while there have been numerous es capes and recaptures. Indeed probably 40 prisoners have gotten away and been caught again in the last four years. At one time a party of six escaped and every one was caught and brought back. In view of the fact that there has been no wall about the grounds, as in the case of most penal Institutions, this rec ord is without parallel In this country. A search of the reports of the hundreds of penal institutions fails to reveal n equally good record in the matter of es capes. Sir. Curtis at Leaven-worth. A Leavenworth dispatch says: Tha old settlers' picnic at Springdale yes terday was attenderd by 2,000 people. There were about twenty persons from Leavenworth, most of whom were poli ticians.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAI SATTJRD A YEVENING, AUGUST 22, 1903. KAflSASNEWS. Argentine Street Force to Quit Their Work. Refuse City Scrip and Can't Get the Cash. WARRANTS VALUELESS "Gang" Consists of Foreman and Two Teamsters. Flood Damage Repairing Comes to a Close. Argentfne, Kan.. Aug. 22. In addition to his many troubles and the burdens of his executive duties. Dr. D. E. Clopper, the mayor of Argentine, is now threat ened with another grave municipal problem, which may or may not be come the issue of the next campaign. The entire working force of the street department of the municipality threat ens to strike next Monday unless the individual members are paid in cash in stead of in city scrip. The working force of the street de partment of Argentine Is composed of the following men: One foreman. Two teamsters. These men went to the mayor yester day In a body and stated their case. They did not stop to appoint a grievance committee- because they believed the showing made by marshaling the entire force before the city hall would be more Impressive. The men first stated the case to H. F. Culp, street commissioner. and then to the mayor. The men have 4 been given city warrants at the end cf each week, but they declare U;e warrants are valueless, as no one will each them. "We are trying to devise some means of getting the city warrants cashed," aid Mayor Clopper yesterday. "If the men feel that they cannot wait until then there is nothing for them to do but to quit work." The men say that other employes are paid out of the police court fund, which is the money collected in fines. They think they should also be paid out of this fund. For the last three months the greater part of the expenses of run ning the city has been paid out of th-j police court fund. It is the only fund not exhausted. There is now $300 in this fund. Its monthly income is $300 and the expense of running the city is $300 a month. "Our city warrants are valueless." said J. F. Trowbridge, city treasurer, yesterday, "because for the past few years the warrants have been accumu lating. The old warrants must be paid before those now being issued are paid. The police court fund cannot be used to pay all the city debts as it is already running very low." While the paid force of the street de partment consists of only two teamsters and an assistant street commissioner or foreman, other work is done by men who work out poll tax. These men could not work without the teamsters and the foreman. The work of repairing the flood damage to the city streets and of keeping them in order would therefore be left undone. RENO COUNTY FAIR. Hutchinson Preparing tor an Exhibit of Local Enterprise. Hutchinson, Kan., Aug. 22. Workmen are rapidly erecting the agricultural building at the Reno county fair grounds. The work was started sever al days ago and will be kept moving now until the building is completed. The agricultural building is to be con structed in the form of a Greek cross with a total length and breadth of eighty feet. The wings or ends will be forty feet broad and the total floor space will be 4,800 square feet. This building will be of similar construction to tile auditorium 'and a good floor will he placed in at a height of about one foot from the ground. There will be large doors in each end and the struc ture will be well lighted with windows all the way round. There is to be a cupola and a flag staff on the top and the building will be a handsome addi tion to the grounds. This structure is located to the south of the auditorium and on the east side of the driveway from the south gate. It is easy of access and is in the proper place for a display of agricultural pro ducts, for which purpose it will be used exclusively. There w ill likely be some additions to the hog pens before the time for the fair. There will be a number of en tries in the hog and sheep classes and more room may be necessary to accom modate these departments. The poultry department will likely have a tent again this year and it will be located con veniently near to the other displays. The race track has been used but lit tie this year and the managers of this department say the course will be In a tnuch better condition because of this. Pine Crop of Broom Corn. 3. O.

That Is the plan of Jeffries, about which there has been bo much secrecy during the past 24 hours. Jeffries is to be accompanied by Cor bett, and the pair expect to clean up a fortune. Jeffries, of course, is to get the lion's share of the profits, but Just what this will be is held in abeyance. The astute Corbett is unwilling as yet to accept the division that Jeffries would assign him. The boiler maker is willing to delay his trip for a short time if in the mean time some formidable candidate for the belt asserts himself, but he must be satisfied that his would-be adversary ia making a bona-flde offer. Jeffries is not likely to.be lured into the arena soon again by either Ruhlin or Sharkey, as he does not regard either as a formidable-contender. Jeffries and Corbett will have a little sketch written, in which Jeffries, of course, will be the chief hero. A staff of soubrettes will likely participate.

Big Event at Brighton Beach Won by Hawthorne. New York. Aug. 22. After a day's delay on account of a heavy track, the grand circuit meeting was resumed at Brighton Beach before 8,000 spectators. The big event of the card was the $20, 000 Bonner stake for the 2:12 trotters. The betting was heavy, Billy Buck saS ing for $1,000 to $700 for the field. The favorite won the first heat by half a length from Jim Forry, with Swift a close third, but in the second he was beaten In a close and exciting finish by the rank outsider Hawthorne, with Tiverton second. In the third heat at the first turn Swift stumbled and swerved into Hawthorne, and both went down, the horses being soon caught. In the meantime Kinney Lou had got the lead and won the heat by a narrow margin amidst a volley of cheers for the driver, Budd Doble. For the fourth heat Kinney Lou led to the ton of the home stretch, with Billy Buck and Hawthorne close up, but here Hawthorne came up with a splendid burst of sceed and won easily by a length. The next heat was close from start to finish, Hawthorne win ning by two lengths, with the other two tired out. He sold for $100 in a $2,000 pool. Judge Green was a hot favorite for the $5,000 John H. Shults purse for 4-year-olds, and he won in straight heats. Dariel and Al Bock were strong favor ites in their races. In the 2:09 trot the Roman was the choice and finished last. For the 2:12 pace Strathlone defeated the favorite. Page Hal, and in the 2:18 trot Dillon Boy upset the talent by beating Millard Sanders, who sold at $50 to $16. Racing at Saratoga. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 22. The fair weather brought out a large crowd to the race track and a good class of sport was witnessed. The course had been dried fairly well, but the going was still soft. Short Hose won the Huron handicap, the day's feature event, in the slow time of 2:02 3-5. It was a loafing race over the entire course. The favor ites had a good day winning in the fourth and fifth and running second in the first three races. On a track fet lock deep in mud McChesney worked a mile and a quarter after the first race yesterday in 2:12. He covered the flrst mile and a furlong in 1:54 and pulled up perfectly sound. "Big Mac" carried 116 pounds and fought for his head the whole distance. Some notion of the character of the work may be had when it is stated that Claude, the winf ner of the St. Louis Derby and other big races in the west, pumped himself all out in winninsr the second race, a mile and a furlong, in 1:55 4-5. Racing at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 22. The Giver won the mile and a sixteenth handicap at Haw thorne. Orsina, the heavily backed favorite, led for a mile, closely attended by Louisville, the extreme outsider, at 30 to 1. At the head of the stretch Orsina gave it up and The Giver took command. Louisville hung onto him gamely to the last 100 yards, where she gave uo and The Giver won as he pleased with two and a half lengths to spare. Louisville managed to last long enough to beat Warte Nicht a neck for place. The track was at its best. Weather clear and cool. Death of Dick Welles' Sire. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 22.

Harry Forbes, for mer world's bantam-weight champion, and Tommy Moore, the board of trade boy, who has been clamoring for a fight for several weeks, will meet before a club in Oshkosh, Wis. This will be the first of a series of ring battles in which the former champion will take part in the hope of forcing Frankie Neil to give him a return engagement. Forbes de clares that he will fight at least once a week, meeting any and all legitimate bantam weights who- present them selves. This, he believes, will prove his worth to the public and will force Neil into giving him another battle. Forbes, who last night returned with Jack O'Keefe from the coast, openly charges Neil and his friends with rob bing him of his title in the fight last Thursday night. 'T received the worst deal in this fight that I have ever seen or heard of. I am willing to fight any place in the world, except Frisco. That town is cut off my map. Neil is given credit for knocking me out. I want to say right here that I was not knocked out and at the count of ten was on my feet and rushing him around the ring. When Neil put me down the last time Referee Eddie Graney spoke to me at the count of seven and told me to get up. I im mediately rose and started after Neil, and we fought for fully 15 seconds be fore Graney separated us. "The timekeeper insisted that he had counted me out. My timekeeper, Morris Levy, manager of the Hayes Valley Athletic club and one of the best known sports on the coast, said that I had been down only eight seconds. How ever, he did not come to the front until the crowd started to pour into the ring; then it was too late. When Referee Graney asked Levy why he had not spoken sooner. Levy answered that im mediately after the count a couple of gamblers had grabbed him and threat ened him with dire punishment if he did not keep still."

The first annual report of the arid land reclamation Ee vice of the geological survey, made by Mr. F. H. Newell, who is in charge of it, has been completed and soon will be made public. It gives detailed infor mation of the work to date for the es tablishment of a system of irrigation under the direction of the national gov ernment. It appears that work has been carried on in the different localities in the various states and territories as fol lows On Salt and Gila rivers in Arizona; on Colorado river in California: on North Platte, Gunnison and Grand rivers in Colorado; on Snake river in Idaho; on the Deep-well problems of western Kan sas; on Milk river In Montana; on the artisian well probabilities of western Nebraska; on Carson and Truckee riv ers in Nevada: on the artesian probabil ities of central Oregon; on Bear river in Utah; on Yakima river in Washington; around Lake DeSmet and also on Sweet Water river in Wyoming. At each of the places where systemat ic work has been conducted preliminary temporary withdrawals of public lands have been made, but the areas which may be reclaimed are Indicated only in a general way by these temporary se gregations. Commenting on the effect of these withdrawals the report says: "The impossibility of stating in ad vance what lands will ultimately be recommended for reclamation will re sult in great disappointment to many persons. The fact that the lands have been temporarily set aside is, in the eys of many an indication that these lands will be reclaimed; and although every attempt has been made to warn Indi viduals of the futility of filing upon these lands under the homestead law they persist in taking up the land on the bare possibility that the surveys and examinations will ultimately show it to be reclaimable. It is an unfortunate condition which apparently can not be corrected at present."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 22, 1903. 3 RAILROADNEVS. Railroad Locomotives Are Out of Date. New Motor Introduced for Operating Purposes. IS ALREADY IN USE. This Motor Is Running Passen ger Trains on Iowa ltoad. liailroad Men Think That Plan of Motor Car Is Feasible. Chicago, Aug. 22 Officials of the Bur lington road were greatly surprised at the intelligence they received yesterday that gasoline motors had been used on heavy railway coaches with perfect suc cess and at a nominal cost. The new motor was introduced on an Insignificant road in Iowa which con nects with the Hurtington and is known s the Tabor and Northern. Its whole length is only eighteen miles. It la quite a freight road, but the gasoline Improvement has been used so far ex clusively for its passenger traffic. It a found Impossible, except at a loss, to run all the locomotive trains its patrons needed, and in searching for a cheaper motor the management turned Its back on electricity and took up with gasoline. The new motor, as yet, is applied to each car separately, and it is announced that the expense of driving the car the whole length of the road is 20 cents, or Diacticallv 1 cent a mile. That this re- ult is likely to revolutionize railroad j operations may be seen from the fact i that to propel the same car by a loco- motive costs from 35 to 40 cents for one mile. Kailroad men say the gasoline car is so reasonable it is a wonder no one has ever thought of tt before. They point to the gasoline automobile and ask why, if such a machine can be driven from fcian Francisco to New York over turn pikes and country roads, people should never before have thought of its use fulness on railroads, where it must ob viously be more powerful. The officials point out two uses to which they think the gasoline car will almost certainly be put. They say it will come into universal use on subur ban lines. The Illinois Central has been studying for a long time what it could substitute for locomotives on its local trains. The only recourse it had was to electricity, and there are so many ob jections to that power that it has never been adopted. It is suggested that the Iowa experiment has solved the prob lem. The other field In which it is expected that gasoline may come into use is on elevated lines and surface street cars. It is pointed out that if this motor will work satisfactorily on a street car it will save the immense expense of elec trical plants, electrical motors and un derground conductors and reduce the expense of operation to a minimum. The officials who discussed this In vention all commented on its availa bility for the traction lines in Chicago. It has been assumed in all the negotia tions between the city and the traction companies that the car fare under the new franchise should be 5 cents. Pri vate citizens have made more than one effort to induce the city's representatives to insert in the new franchise a pro vision that if by any means the cost of operating the street cars should he greatly reduced there should be an equitable readjustment of the fare rate. These well-meant efforts have not had much effect. Hion J. Arnold, the city's consulting electrical expert, said that if the franchises were to run for seventy five years he thought readjustment should be stipulated for. But he thought no new motor could be developed and made practical in twenty years. Hut, to all appearances, the cheap motor has been discovered before the city and the traction people get. ready to negotiate. The railroad officials of Chicago have never heard of gasoline cars before, for freight or passengers east or west, and they are as yet entirely ignorant how' the Iowa experiment originated and where the equipment for it was manu factured. .THEY MUST GO. Railway Protective Association Will Drive Scalpers from Colorado. Chicago. Aug 22. The Railway Pro tective association has determined to try to drive the ticket brokers out of all Colorado common points. Application will be made to the courts In Denver for injunctions restraining the brokers from dealing in summer tourists' tickets. The plan of action was outlined at a meeting held today of the passenger representatives of the Colorado lines. Various attorneys representing1 the lines Interested have advised that re straining orders can be obtained under the laws of Colorado. Action against the brokers has not been taken before because not all Colorado lines could be Induced to join the movement. Several Chicago passenger men will HAY FEVER'S CONQUEROR Breathe Hyornei and Escape This Dreaded Summer Visitor. By the use of Hyornei, you can save an expensive trip to the mountains and escape weeks of Buffering. This remark able remedy for the cure of hay fever, kills the germs of the disease, soothes and heals the Irritated mucous mem brane, if used two or three weeks be fore the time of the usual apparance of hay fever will prevent the attack. The complete Hyornei treatment con sists of a neat pocket inhaler, through which Hyornei is breathed, a bottle of Hyornei, and a medicine dropper. The air taken into the lungs in this way is filled with healing balsams and forms a perfect safeguard against attacks of hay fever or rose cold. Those who have had hay fever, know how lltttle help can be gained by stomach dosing in this disease. Hyornei Is the only scientific yet common sense treatment for the trouble. It is easy enough for any one to say that a remedy will give satisfaction, but Geo. W. Stansfleld. druggist, 632 Kin yas avenue, offers to refund the money If Hyornei does not do all that is claimed for it, certainly Inspires faith In the treatment. Hyornei really gives you In your own home, a change of climate, and hay fever sufferers know from past experi ence that this has been the only tiling that afforded them relief. By breathing Hyornei a few times dally, you can save the expense and trouble of a mountain trip and avoid ull danger of hay fever. go to Denver tomorrow to assist the at torneys in preparing the application for injunctions.-In Denver alone are more than twenty ticket brokers who have been doing a large business all season. Tourists' tickets are sold during the summer from Chicago to Colorado com mon points and return for from $25 to $50, which permits a profitable scalping. GOOD FOR THE ERIE. That Road Has Made Good Showing During Last Year. Chicago, Aug. 22. Such an excellent record has been made by the Krie road for its last fiscal year that the issue of the forthcoming annual report is await ed with general interest, so that the de tails of the record may be studied. That report will outline in complete detail the operations of the most successful year the company has ever known. In the matter of earnings the income account speaks for itself. It will demonstrate that at least one of the trunk lines in eastern territory had not by any means reached the limit of its earning capac ity in l!i0-. Tie road will show on a milease basis an increase of well over 15 per cent in gross earning capacity. This achieve ment will be largely explained by the usual table of freights, showing in creases In anthracite and bituminous coal tonnage over the average of the last five years. This table will also In dicate quite clearly the general pro gress of the road in the matter of freight transportation. It will furnish a very interesting chapter in the history of the E?le. The year has marked the beginning of a new era on the road. The labor of the new management has begun to." make itself evident in increased efficiency of equip ment and track and In consequent gen eral increase In traffic. TO OUST EXPRESS COMPANIES. Texas State Board Begins Operation, on Four Lines. Austin, Tex., Aug. 22. Legal steps are to be taken immediately on the part of the state of Texas to drive out of the business the tour express com panies which are operating on lines In this state. The railroad commission to day instructed Attorney General C. K. Hell to institute suit against the Weils Fargo and the Pacific express com panies for the forfeiture of their per mits to do business in Texas, and for heavy penalties, and against the United States and the American express com panies to restrain them from contin uing to do business in the state. The latter two are joint stock concerns, and are not required to have a permit from the state to do business here, and they can, therefore, be reached by a restrain ing order from the court. The charge which Is made the basis for these pro posed suits is that the defendant companies have failed to maintain gen eral offices in Texas, and have violated the law In other resDects. Tne railroad commission had received information that the express com panies named were preparing to peti tion the federal court to enjoin the com mission from promulgating the proposed new tariff express rates, on which a rehearing was yesterday granted to take place in September. In order to forestall action the railroad commission will seek to drive the four comnanies out of business. WRECK AT SANTA FE. Two Boys Tamper With. Brakes of a Freight Car. What might have proved a serious wreck involving loss of life was for tunately averted in the Denver Rio Grande yards here Friday night, says the Santa Fe New Mexican. From what can be learned two boys, aged 11 and 5 years, amused themselves for a time playing about the cars. Growing tired of the rather tame feature they began working with the brakes of a box car laden with hay which stood at the top of the heavy grade. In some manner the brakes became loosened and the car started down the incline, gathering momentum with every revolution of the wheels. The car dashed over the bridge and collided with a train that was standing on thi siding a short distance further on. The result was that the cars were severely damaged, and one had practically the whole end stove in. Fortunately the two boys escaped un injured. The residents of the neighbor hood say that the noise of the collision was something terrific and that for some time nothing could be seen nor the cause of the trouble learned be cause of the great clouds of dust. HAMMON AT INDEPENDENCE. Is Putting in Steel Approaches to a Santa Fe Bridge. Frank Hammon, of the Santa Fe bridge department, is here with 35 or 40 men putting in steel apDroaehes to the Verdigris bridge, says an Independ ence paper. Three pairs of immense girders are to go In. One pair is so large that it required three flat cars to carry it. The gang came down yester day at noon and by night had one set of giiders in and arrangements made for another set. Most of this work was done without interrupting traffic in the least, but the evening train from the north caught the bridge men in bad shape and was compelled to wait some time before it could cross. This sang put in a bridge over Drum creek, near Cherryvale, last week and will put in another one near Klk City before leav ing this region. They came from New Mexico here. BACK TO THE BONE YARD. Small Freight Cars Are to Be Aban doned. Chicago, Aug. 22. The Chicago Northwestern has decided to retire from service all of its freight cars of 28.000 pounds capacity and a number of 30.000 pounds capacity, making in all about 400 that will be consigned to the "boneyard" in the next two months. The company's officials say that it no longer pays to use cars of such small capacity. The company is buying about 2.500 new freight cars a year, ranging from 40,000 to 100.000 pounds capacity. Before the old cars are destroyed they will be re placed by an equal if not a larger num ber of cars. Recent Appointments. C. K.

Katy Builds Short Line" at Chanute in a Few Hours. The "Katy Short Line." says the Chu nute Sun. was built last night between sunset and sunrise and this morning vis itors to the depot were surprised to sen a railroad with ten or more cars stand ing on the tracks. All accomplished in a single night. The ground thus occupied is in dis pute and has been for a long time. It was originally held by the Katy, it seems, but R. N. Allen got a claim in on it in some way, through default or oversight in the matter of taxes, and as soon as the dispute became bis enough to be recognized by both parties, it was taken into court, traveling the route from one court to another. The supreme court, in a decision some weeks ago, seemed to give Allen the best of it and he was apparently in pos session of it. The "Katy," however, found a weak spot somewhere and after mature deliberation. wired Agent Brow nell to put a track across there be tween suns, sending a gang from Iola to do the work. No hint was given out of the road's In tention until after dark and then the blazing campfires of the ganss at work told the story that something was doing. The Katy Short Line, which they built last night, its the second of its name and its kind. The same feat was accom plished once before at the time the dis pute first came up but the work was not carried through with the same thorough dispatch as in this case and the line was later removed. In this in stance the line is a permanent one and will be used all the time. Last night Knapp's Tank Line car, No. 1, was the first to be shoved out on the new line, to be followed by a string of others. SLEEPING CAR SERVICE. Is to Shortly Be Inaugurated Be tween Chicago and Pacific Coast. Chicago, Aug. 22. As a result of the merger of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, and Burlington railroads, through sleeping car service is to be inaugurated from Chicago to North Pa cific coast points, doing away with the necessity of changing cars in St. Paul and Minneapolis. A late night train to Chicago, connect ing with Pacific coast trains, will be ad ded soon. It is said. The matter was de cided upon by President Hill of the Great Northern and President Harrison and Vice President Miller of the Bur lington. The Burlington now has no late Chi cago train, but the Milwaukee St. Paul and Chicago Northwestern have trains connecting: with the Pacific coast trains.

Excess Fare Illegal. The supreme court of South Carolina has handed down a decision that Is of general interest to the railroads in the case of Ftilmer against the Southern railway. The plaintiff declined to pay the excess rate demanded by the con ductor on a cash fare paid upon the train and was ejected. He thereupon brought suit against the company on the ground that railroads have no legal right to charge any excess above the regular fare, and was defeated in the court of common pleas, but appealed to the supreme court of the state, which has reversed the decision of the lower The diver dies without air to ""breathe.

"The Kansas City, Mexico Orient railway prefers a route out of Kansas City on the north side of the Kaw river," said E. Dickin son, general 'manager of the company, last night. "For this reason we will be glad to secure the use of the Union Pacific tracks if satisfactory arrange ments can be made. "I do not know how far the Union Pacific railway has progressed in its plan to double-track the line between Kansas City and Topeka. I know that the plan was being considered before I resigned the position of general man ager of the Union Pacific to come to the Orient, and I believe the improvement will be made. The line between Kan sas City and Topeka is the mc ravel ed on the system, for the reas..i that it is used by the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific also. "If we secure the use of the Union Pacific tracks we will run about as far as Fall, which is seven miles this side of Lawrence, thence cross the Kaw and run southwest to Emporia. If our present plan to switch off just west of Kansas City, Kan., cross the Missouri river twice and enter the city from the north is carried out. we would have a run of about twenty-five miles on Union Pacific tracks. "This plan, however, is somewhat conditional upon the location of the new union station. If the depot is built on or near the present site we might secure the use of the Union Pa cific bridge also and enter the station directly from Armstrong. "The adoption of this route would in r.o way affect the plans for our Outer Belt railway. This will be built ac cording to the original Intentions, curv ing north from Kansas City, Kan., and entering the city from Clay county. The belt line will tw double-tracked, well ballasted and of the very best construction." WARNS CANADA OF DANGER. Says U. S. Appetite Has Been Whetted by Recent War. Ottawa, Ontario. Aug. 22.

After spending two months here under the care of one of the most prominent physicians and receiving little or no benefit, I was persuaded to try Peruna. I had little faith in it, but after using one bottle I noticed a marked improve ment. Three bottles entirely cured me. I can cheerfully recommend Peruna to any one afflicted as I was." Fred R.

Thousands of practical instances could be given to show the value of improved varieties of corn. For instance, one southern Illinois farmer, more progres sive than the rest, was induced to secure enough improved seed to plant 300 acres as. a result of his study of corn in the Illinois College of Agriculture. These 300 acres out yielded all of the other fields on his farm more than 30 bushels an acre. and. so far as could be deter mined, the fields of that entire section yielded about 30 bushels an acre. This increase of yield meant a total gain of about 9,000 bushels, which represented a cash value of about 14,000 that season As this increase did not represent an an creased cost of production, the gain was pure profit. In another case a farmer in Central Illinois become interested in improved seed corn through the school of corn judging in the Illinois Agricul tural college. He secured enough seed, grown by a corn breeder, to plant 80 acres. As a result he raised almost 25 bushels more an acre on this field than where the ordinary seed was planted.

"Speaking of the unhappy tendencies of the age," said the observant man, "one thing has impressed me more forcibly than any other one fact connected with modern life, and I have come to look at it as one of the unhappiest conditions of the age in which I live. The child is pass ing away. Babies and grown lolks make up modern society. The child is simply out of the question. I like the child lite. Time was when the sweeter essences of life were afforded by the boys and girls who persisted in remaining boys and girls until they were well along in their teens. It is different now. Children are grown before they get out of their swaddling clothes. It seems to be a necessary con dition of the age. In my opinion there is one thing which is more to blame for the fact complained of than any other influ ence, and it is the matter of dress. "Parents dress their children to death, or at least they dress them out of their childhood. I am not an old man, but I can remember when parents did not think so much of the kind of clothes the child had on. All they cared for was to keep the child clean. But all this business is changed. Go into your public schools. Why, do you know there is the sharpest kind of rivalry between girls who have not yet rounded into the tenth year over the matter of dress? Who is to blame for it? The parents. They are responsible for the fact that children think more of dress than they think of books. It is a bad condition. Dress and interest in the subject develops the social Instinct too rapidly, and this is bad for the child at school. Girls are particularly susceptible to influences of this kind. Development of the social Instinct is rapid enough with them under any circumstances, and any thing that will aggravate the tendency should be frowned upon. But I guess I am prudish, and an old fogy, and should not take modern tendencies so seriously. Still, I suppose I have a Tight to com plain if I care to Uo so." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

TOPEKA STATE JOUKNAX, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 22, 1S03. GOOD REPORTS. Trade Conditions Show Improve' merit Over a Year Ago. Weather and Crop Conditions the Keynote. STRIKES AKE FEWER. LumDer Trade Is Active la the West. Crops Are Going; to Market Less Freely Than Usual. New York, Aug. 22. Bradstreet says: "Weather and crop conditions are till the keynotes to fall trade. In the Northwest, Southwest and South, buy rs are taking hold energetically and reports as a whole are as good or bet ter than a year ago. In the East fall Jobbing has started in well, though perhaps not so active as hoped for. Some -soft spots are. however, noted In the central west sections In which crops were lighter than hoped for buying conservatively. The retail trade is sea sonably culet and collections are re ported backward In a number of In stances. "Among the great Industries few Im portant changes are noted. One of the notable developments Is the general softening of pig Iron prices following the heavy buying of two weeks past. Fewer Industrial operatives are on strike now than for months past, but the Idle ness of cotton mill operators tends rath er to increit.se. The lumber trade Is ac tive west and north, but In the East It has not as yet recovered from the de pression induced by labor troubles, now about drawing to a close. Shoe manu facturing Is notably active the country iver and eastern shipments are break ing all records. Railway earnings for the first half of August continue to Bhow good gains. The eastern Jewelry trade Is quiet for the season and the labor situation is not a very clear one. "Leather is reported firm, but quiet as a whole, the shoe manufacturers buying only from hand to mouth. Js'ew Kngland hides are lowering. "Weakness in southern foundry iron Is noted at eastern markets, and Bes semer pig Iron la reported offered $1 jier ton lower at Pittsburg than a week ago, with supplies for immediate de livery more in evidence. Large buying of pig iron Is less noticeable than It was one or two weeks ago, but quite a number of small orders have been book ed. Steel billets are less active, but fairly firm. Merchant barB, sheets and plates in finished products are reported In much better call, but the demand for structural material Is light, particularly reflecting recent labor troubles. Copper was marked up this week, partially, it Is thought, to affect the stock market quotations, but some large sales below the official price are reported." R. G. Dun Co.'s W eekly Review of Trade savs: "Business Is well maintained, aside from the auieting influence of the va cation season, which somewhat restricts trade and retards collections. Making due allowances for the period, therp is no cause for complaint. The adverse factors that have -'been ODerating against prosperity In recent preceding weeks are no longerons ootent, normal Influences gradually prevailing. Labor controversies still exist, curtailing the output of a few products and the con sumption of all the necessaries of life. Crops are not going t6 market as free ly as usual, although the agricultural outlook Is distinctly favorable. In spite of several obvious reasons for expecting a check to freight trffic, earnings of railways tuns far resorted in Auarust show an average gain of 9.6 per cent, over laKt year, and JS.lt per cent, over 1901. Complaint is beginning to be heard regarding the inadequate facili ties of the railways, and it now appears that Inconvenience and loss must be again experienced notwithstanding the extensive Improvements. Sensational stories of the large number of buvers now at this center and the fabulous sums that they spend cannot be ac cepted as statistically accurate, but it Is probable that an increase over all previous years Is actually occurring, desnlte the demoralization in cotton goods caused by speculation in the raw material "Although produc tion of coke at Con nellsvllle has been moderately curtailed supplies accumulate and prices are de pressed. A liberal tnnnaee of iron has been placed during the pa.u week, pro viding abundant demand fur all the pig that is bein made. More large con tracts for iron and steel have been placed by a prominent manufacturer of agricultural machinery, and as much of this business has been held back en tirely on account of prices. It Is be lieved that no further concessions are to be expected. "in view of the very satisfactory Job bing trade that is reported In dry goods It is surprising that no reflection of the activity Is seen In the primary mar ket. Makers of cotton goods find no business offering except such small or ders for immediate requirements as emanate from urgent dealers. "Moderate orders for light weight woolens and worsteds have been placed for spring delivery. Heavy shipments of shoes from Boston make striking comparisons with preceding years, and the volume of new business promises to maintain a heavy movement, but It Is noteworthy that there is a tendency to operate moderately and frequently this year, rather than to buy seldom and largely as in other seasons. "Somewhat easier prices for the great food staples testify to brighter crop prosoecta.

It may be that I can defeat all the colored heavy weights in sight with ease, but I am not going to try. I am determined not to take a chance of losing the champion- Iship to a negro." So said Jim Jeffries yesterday when asked by the match makers of the Yosemite club if he would box Sam MeVey, the Oxford negro. In November. Jeffries said he woud hold himself ready to fight any white man the club might produce. Now that Jeffries has declared himself on the color line, the hopes of two prom ising colored heavies are dashed. Word comes from England that H. J. Placke, the champion boxer of Holland, is also eager to fight Jeffries. Placke is a giant beyond question. He was born in 1871, stands 6 feet 54 inches and weighs 226 pounds trained. In addition to being a fighter he Is an all round athlete. Jefleries left for his home In Los Angeles today. He says he has no definite plans; tha,t he will remain a week with his folks and dur ing that time will frame his programme for the future.

"I 'guess maybe the privilege of con ducting pawnshops on the racetracks around New York wouldn't be a big thing," remarked a Tenderloin money lender at the Brighton track the other afternoon. "If the Jocky club people would stand for my putting up a little three-balled booth on each of the tracks during the New York racing season, I could easily afford to pay them half the profits for the privilege, and, charg ing very low interest rates on quickly redeemed pledges, I'd be pretty near ready to retire rich at the end of five years." The metropolitan racjng body has of ten been approached by responsible pawnbrokers eager to offer almost any terms for the privilege of conducting a loan business on the New York race tracks. Such offers have invariably been refused, and probably always will be. Money lending establishments are openly conducted with the permission of the racing authorities on several Eur opean race courses, particularly in Ger many and Austria. But the American temperament is far different from the Teutonic, and the Jocky club's view is that pawnshops on the New York tracks would be bad for the sport. Nevertheless, the lending of money on personal property is quietly, not to say furtively, carried on at the race tracks around New York. A number of perfpa tetic pawnbrokers, well known to most of the regulars, are to be found lurking around the betting ring stanchions when the game is on, and they drive a flour ishing trade. It is more than possible that their presence on the tracks is known or sus pected by the racing authorities, but as they are all discreet men and as their dealings are conducted almost exclus ively with the hopeless, dyed-in-the-wool regulars, their operations are, as a rule. overlooked. Once in a while an outsider slips in who makes his business too pal pable, but such fellows do not last long. Not long ego, at Sheepshead bay, one of them who undertook to suggest to ob servant persons the nature of his busi ness by wearing a pin composed of three gold balls in his scarf found himself waiting for the next trolley car within a very short time alter he naa entered the track gate. "The hardest work we have to do is to keep under cover," remarked one of the track money-lenders. "We don t issue any tickets to our customers, any more than do the bookmakers on the New York tracks. "The boys on my list know where to find me when they need me. They pass over their stuff, I hand them the money, and make a brief memorandum of the deal in my little book. I scale my charges a good deal from those charged in the regular pawnshops, on account of the short periods during which I have possession of most of the pledges that drift my way. Diamond gear is the only stuff I handle aside from valuable tim lng watches, and not too many of them. It b nothing uncommon for a clos hauled regular sailing with the wind under reefed tops'ls to pop his stuff in several times in the course of an after noon's racing. Last Saturday afternoon. for example, a horse follower with whom I've been doing- business for years passed me his ring rock, a six- carat blue-white gem, and took JaOO on it That must have been about the thousandth time that I've had that ring in my possession. I've often offered to let this man have what money he need ed without taking any of his stuff as security, but he has always declined such offers. I want to know that I'm running for blood, he tells me. and that It's a case with me of no land-right, no flash-light." New York Sun. BENEFIT OF AIR BATHS. Remedies for Cases of Shattered Nerves. "I'm afraid I can't do much for you while you persist in sitting in this half closed room," said an old physician to a woman patient not long ago. The wo man sat in a darkened room reekine of aromatic vinegar and violet smelling salts, her forehead swathed in ice water bandages, a look of acute discomfort on her face. "Here you sit day after day, breathing pretty much the same old air over and over again, because to admit the sun or sun-warmed air would heat the room. you say. And you are so nervously wrought up you say you could not bear to go outdoors. "I don't know whether you know I don't suppose you do that fresh air is the finest preservative of sound nerves and a good temper there is. Irritation, which amounts to a positive disease with a great many people, and nerves that is to say, overstrained or exhausted nerves are two conditions which you can actually see being produced In peo ple by bad air. The snappishness and shortness so often seen in business of fices, the surliness of elevator boys and the bad manners of people generally are not to be wondered at when one sees the places where they work and "sam ples' the air they breathe. You, for instance, are suffering from an attack of "summer nerves.' You were already nervously exhausted when the warm weather first se.t in, and a few hot, sleepless nights increased your rest less state. Instead of finding or making occupations that would keep you out of doors, you shut yourself up in a dark ened room, excluded as much of the outer air as you conveniently could in an effort to keep cool, and. made a desper ate effort to calm yourself. "Now, nobody ever calmed his or her nerves by resolving to be calm. We can resolve to do things that will have a calming effect on them, but the deter mination to be calm will invariably have Just the opposite result. It did on you. You are in this morbid, nervously irri table state largely because you have been breathing dead air for the last fort night, and thinking about yourself a great deal more than was good for you. "Now, I am not going to consider you a sick woman. In spite of all the dis tressing symptoms you have been telling me. You're the sixth woman I've been called to this week who was suffering from summer nerves, and nothing you have said has surprised me In the least. "What I want you to do is to begin a course of air baths, water baths and open-air living. I shan't give you any medicine, except these three powders, which I hope will give you a good night's rest for three nights, thus break ing up the habit of sleeplessness you have formed. I shan't tell you what they are, or give you a prescription, so three are all you can have. As you have a roof which none of your neighbors can overlook, I want you to go up there every morning at 7 o'clock and take an air bath. Remove your dressing gown and let the fresh air and sunlight play around your body freely. Don't try to do anything or think of anything. Just relax, give up. Try to be oriental and languorous. I'm sure you have seen pic tures of eastern beauties recliaing on divans or being fanned by their women attendants. See how it feels to be an eastern beauty yourself. Being a rich woman, you can easily have your in doors man carry a couch and rug up to the roof for your comfort. If you drop off to sleep, so much the better. Aftir half an hour or so. or when you wake up, get on your things, go downstairs and take a shower bath. "First tepid, then warm, then hot, then cold. Have the hot water as hot as you can bear it quite comfortably. After three minutes turn the hot water off short and the cold water on full, as cold as you can get it, for three minutes more. Then give yourself a good rub down with a coarse Turkish towel. No, I want you to do it for yourself. Your maid can help you into your clothes afterward, if you want her to. "You will feel ready for breakfast by 8:30 o'clock, and I see no reason why you should not eat it with your hus band and son. You are not an invalid, remember, only a wornout. nervous, ir ritable woman, bored, blue and cross. Make your breakfast nutritious, but light, and eat all rou want. I should think half a muskmelon.a Graham muf fin, an egg and as much cold milk as you can drink would make a good, typi cal breakfast." The woman raised her head weakly from the pillow In protest. "But, doctor." she said, in a pleading tone, "I can't get along without my cup of coffee in the morning. I always have coffee brought to me in bed I could simply not dress without it and then I posi tively must have it with my breakfast.'1 "Just as I supposed," rejoined the man of medicine. "You have been whipping up your jaded nerves with coffee until they simply refuse to carry you another step. Not a drop of coffee or tea shall I allow you until you have crawled out of this hole into which you have drop ped. I know perfectly well how it would be if I told you you could have a small cup of weak coffee with your breakfast, Just for a little taste, in a week I should find you taking two full- sized coffee cups of strong coffee in the morning, and as much more in the course of the day. In your present state tea and coffee are simply poison rank poison. "I want you to spend the remainder of your day outdoors. Lie down as much as you want, sleep all you can, read an hour or two, but not In a recumbent po sition, sew or do fancy work, but do everything in the open. Air and sun light have a wonderful effect on the nerves. Try every little while to take deep, full breaths. Be in bed by 9. Be fore retiring take a tepid bath that is. have the water 90 degrees and stay in it, the body completely submerged for 15 minutes. Keep this treatment up for a week, and I think the next time I see you I shall find a different kind of wo man." New York Tribune. Phillipsburg Bonds.

Properly cared for a good pavement should last for many years and the real economy in work of this character is to build nothing but good, substan tial pavements at the start and then see to it that they are protected from abuse or misuse. It it becoming gen erally recognized that the most attrac tive and satisfactory pavement for all ordinarv purposes is the modern, up-to-date asphalt pavement, some of which has already been laid in this city with the prospect that another consid erable stretch of it will be oomaleted during the present season. The old theory that asphalt Is not well adapt ed for standing the wear and tear of heavy teaming is gradually being dis carded and the claim is now accented that a good asphalt pavement, laid on a substantial foundation, will stand fully as much strain as any other kind of pavement, provided care is taken to insist on wide tires for heavv loads. It is in accordance with this theory that the city of Chicago is planning to pave all of its down-town streets with asphalt, which is far more noiseless than brick, block or cobblestone. It is a fact that is well understood, however, that the use of narrow tires for heavy loads is terribly destructive to any kind of street pavement, no less than to the maintenance of good coun try roads, and there is, therefore, a general tendency to require by law that all wagons and other vehicles used in transporting heavy loads shall be equipped with tires of a specified width. A list of the leading cities of the coun try shows that most of them have or dinances which reaulre a minimum of one inch to the ton for actual loads. -INCORPORATED IN COLORADO1 ASSESSABLE.

CHAS. while in many of them the srjPciSed width of tires is still greater. With the growing use of asphalt pavements, however, there is a general tendency to require all wagons that are used to convey ordinary loads to have tires not less than three inches in width, while in the cases of extra heavy loads the tires must be still wider. In this city there is an ordinance which requires tires three inches in width for all loads of 3.000 Dounds or over, but this should be supplemented by a further require ment that extra heavy loads, such as coal, stone, machinery, etc., should have tires four or five inches wide according to the particular needs. Asphalt Jour nal. Whitecappers Arrested. Wynne, Ark., Aug. 22. A deputy mar shal has arrested twelve prominent planters of Poynsett county on the charge of whitecapping.

Ha Tarns to the Grasshopper in the Interest of Sciences There was a look of dignity and Im portance on Mr. Bowser s face as he reached home the other evening, but before Mrs. Bowser had had time to question him he somewhat patroniz ingly observed: Tmi jre rr in me Jf.?.31 nigbt ta h2w uch toe san- 1V. e'. ,uu- sae asKeo. now i w nen 1 propose to make fool of card!"

Mrs. Bowser and the cat watched him from the front door until he was lost in the darkness of evening, and then both sighed and turned away. She went in to pick up a book and become in terested, and the cat found her way to the back yard to engage in three or four srr-aos and come out victor every time Mr. Bowser might have heard omethir about grasshoppers at the corner drug store or the family butcher's, but he decided to go to the fountain head the country pa.cute There he would encounter the Insect on M rative heath, and find him unbiased and unprejudiced by city way..

The farmer who had taken him for an anarchist had kept an eye on him, as he said he v.-cutd. and after seeing him climb the fence had hurried cn and got his sons. Jim and Bill, to go back with him. They found Mr. Bowser lying in the meadow on his stomach, and the first thing he knew of their presence they had laid hands on him and were walloping him about with uncalled-for energy. He tried to explain, but the farmer interrupted him with: "Go in, Jim go for him. Bill! Dum his hide, bat we'll give him all the bomb bizness he wants before he is through with us!" "You fools, my name is Bowser!" he shouted. "I don't keer whether it's Bowser or Towser!" shouted the farmc-r in returrf "but I know you won't bum any bams for me!" Mr. Bowser foucht back, but three to one is big odds. They ripped the collar off his coat, toro all the buttons off his vest and rolled him over and over and threw him over the fence, and when he had gathered himself up he looked like a tramp who had been carried across th- country by a cyclone. The three men sat on the fence and watched until he had limped out of sight, and they only Jeered when he threatened to sue for a million dollars damages.

Mr. Myers, in writing ef his cure, says: "For three years I have been troubled with a very bad ease of Catarrh of the Stomach; I could pot retain food on my stomach. OfLen I had t vomit two or three times in ne day. This was very weakening and debilitating. I have been treated by Six different doctors, but never received any benefit whatever. A friend per suaded me to try your Vin-Seng Tonic, and I can truthfully say that I believe It is the best preparation I ever heard f. I have no vomiting spells at all flow, and my bowels move regularly. My food tastes better than it has for wer three years; I have no nausea svhatever. I have treated with (here re given the names of five Toneka physicians and one of Osage City). I rant to recommend Vin-Seng to every one suffering from Catarrh or Stomach Trouble.

"An un usual interest is being taken in the state fair to be held at Tooeka this vear." said Mr. Heath. "I have re reived scores of letters from the most prominent stock raisers, who intend to exhibit here. It will be necessary ior us to nrovide ouarters twice as large, in every section of the stock depart ment, as we had last year. This will be clone, and we will have plenty of room and good, comfortable quarters for all kinds of stock. Last year we had to erect additional barns. They will be used this year, and besides many more barns, pens and stalls will be built. The finest lot or oure-Drea stock that was ever exhibited in Kan sas will be seen at the Topeka State fair this fall." Among the famous animals which will be seen in the cattle section of the Topeka fair will be Gentle Annie A, the chamnion Galloway cow of 1902.

Now Reported That It Must Dry Up. After looking the situation over the streets and walks committee of the city council has come to the conclusion that the lake, which covers several hund red acres of ground west of North To peka, will have to be permitted to dry up. So nearly Is it on a level with Sol dier creek that it will be hardly possi ble to drain it entirely. A considerable part of the water in it will eventually find its way out through the ditch that empties into Soldier creek. The com mittee looked at the lake yesterday in company with Trustee Perdium of Sol dier township. Efforts will be made to divert the water which fills the lake by embanking and ditching west of North Topeka. With the source shut off the lake will gradually disappear. Although there are numerous objec tions to it on the grounds of impractic ability the committee has evolved a scheme of buying a vacant lot near the business center of town for the use of express wagons. With it for their stand ing ground the expressmen will be compelled to keep off the streets. Evi dently City Attorney Spencer's sugges tion to allow the expressmen to con tinue using the streets, allowing four to every block is to be disregarded. Recommendations for the repair of the approach to the Central avenue bridge in North Topeka, the approach to the Shunganunga creek bridge on East Eighth street and for the drainage of Hiddle creek were made. The county will cooperate in the permanent repair of the Central avenue bridge over Sol dier creek. By laying a large drain age sewer from Sixth street north on Locust street it is believed that the fu ture overflow of Biddle creek in Park dale can be prevented. VI I LL GO ON STAU E.

GIRLS WERE SCARED. Heard Strange Noises and Sent for Police. Young Woman Takes Drugs With Suicidal Intent. The court has taken a vacation on booze cases, and there will be no more doing in the $100 and 30 days business until Monday. Last night the gendarmes made a hasty trip to 917 Tyler street. The trip was based on information that a bold bad burglar was frisking the premises at said number, and that a delegation of neighbors were herding him in the house pending the arrival of the coppers. When the party arrived they dashad Into the bungaloo and made a thoroueh search. They found no burglar, but unmistakable evidence that he had been there. The entire house was searched, even the ice chest and oven were examined by the police. A search for burglars. but no robber materialized. The resi dence is that of Deputy U. S. Marshal Knapp, who is away on a vacation. The house was occupied at the time of the attempted burglarism by four young ladies, relatives of Mr. Knapp, who had been visiting a neighbor next door. When they came home about 9:30 they heard a stranger wandering with in. Nothing was missing except the nerve of the young ladies. The wagon had barely returned from the West side when there came a call from South Topeka, 1928 Kansas ave nue, to the effect that a young woman had taken something, either poison or a fit. and needed investigation. Again the wagon went out in a rush. Arriv ing at the number indicated, the offi cers found Viola View, a girl who boards at the place, sleeping soundly from the effects of something or other. After trying to aawken her Dr. Hoge boom was sent for. He came, and or ganizing himself Into an amateur fire department, laid a line of hose and sep arated Miss View from whatever she had Imbibed. When she awoke she told the doctor that she had taken chloro form, but the indications were that cocaine was the trouble. Before taking the dose she gave her watch and rinir to the woman with whom she boards and said that she was disgusted with everything.

An occa sion which will be memorable in the history of this state transpired today when the giant armored cruiser Penn sylvania, named by the daughter of the state's senior senator and political lead er, was launched at the yards of the William Cramp Ship Engine Building Co. The maiden plunge of the formid able addition to the United States navy was witnessed by one of the largest and most distinguished assemblages that has ever gathered at Cramp's ship yards. More favorable weather could not have been desired and the flag be decked sea fighter gliding down the ways greeted by the acclamations of thousands of spectators and the shrill blasts of the myriad of river craft was an Inspiring scene. Under the towering prow of the Penn sylvania was erected a platform from which 2,000 specially invited guests wit nessed the launching. From the main stand rose a smaller platform upon which stood the christening party, in cluding Miss Coral Quay, daughter of United States Senator Quay, the ship's sponsor; Senators Quay and Penrose, Governor Pennypacker, Mayor Weaver, Rear Admiral SIgsbee. United States navy; Rear Admiral Melville, U. S. N., retired; Charles S. Cramp, Edwin S. Cramp and a number of ladies. On the mainstand were assembled the heads of the various navy department bureaus. Captain Alexander Boutkoft, Japanese naval attache; Cheklb Bey, Turkish minister to "the United States and Lieutenant Commander Sabry Bey and Lieutenant Ali Bey of the Ottoman navy. After the launching the guests were entertained at luncheon. The Pennsylvania is powered with a twin screw, vertical triple expansion engines and boilers which are reauired to develop a mean speed of 22 knots an hour for four hours. The ensrines are estimated to develop a collective indi cated horse power of 23.000. The con tract price for the hull and machinery of the warship is $3,780,000. VILLAGES BURNED Adrianople Insurrection Spreading Eastward.' Is Constantinople, Aug. 22. The Insurree-, tion in the villayet of Adrianople, which started in the sub-division of Klrk- Kilisse. 32 miles from Adrianople is spreading eastward. Several villages have been burned by insurgents in the neighborhood of Iniadia off which place the Russian squadron is anchored, and urgent demands have been sent to Ad rianople for reinforcements. The proposal to send the Austrian and Russian military attaches to Monastir to gather facts about the insurrection has been dropped for the present as the pro posed visit is not considered opportune. British and French warships in Turk ish waters are in readiness to proceed to Salonica In the event of it being nec essary for them to do so. The contract with the Krupp com pany for quick firing guns, recently signed and involving an expenditure of 790,000 Turkish pounds, is not immedi ately connected with the present trouble in Macedonia. Negotiations on the sub ject have been proceeding for several years. It is probable, however, mat tne conclusion of the arrangement was has tened by the possibility of international trouble. Moussa Bev. the notorious Kurdish brigand chief, who was responsible for manv of the Armenian outrages and who escaped last month with several other Kurdish chiefs from Aleciina, Arama, where they had been living in exile, has been recaptured with his companions and retaken to Medina.

HUXTIXtt PI KATE GOLD. A Pursuit Still Popular in the West Indies. The. new world's will-o'-the-wisp. nimte cold has still many followers. Expeditions are continually being fitted out at ports along the Atlantic seaboard to search the palm-covered islands and coral cays of the West Indies for the hoards of old Spanish gom ana pirate booty which are supposed to be hidden there. Not long ago a private yacht was secretly fitted out in New Tork for a West Indian treasure hunt. Other expeditions have started recently from Philadelphia, Boston, jxewpori New Orleans and other norts. TJni- is the hunt confined to Amer icans. A year does not pass without expeditions leaving London, Glasgow, Liverpool or other Britisn pons, wnue the West Indians themselves, living in an atmosphere of treasure stories, are naturally the keenest of an tne nunters of phantom gold. Sometimes these ex peditions never return, ine snip is ic ported missing, and another is added to the long roll of ocean tragedies of which the public hears little or nothing. Years afterward a few bleached bones on e. remote islet, or a derelict floating in the track of shipping tell a tale of shipwreck, mutiny or death by those diseases most dreaded by seafaring men yellow fever and ber!-beri. Some months ago no fewer than five treasure hunting expeditions were re ported at Kingston, Jamaica. The Earl of Crawford and Balcarres had brought his yacht into the harbor on a West Indian cruise, and it was said that he was combining business with pleasure and meant to search for a pirate treas ure reported to be buried on the tiny island of Anegada, in the Virgin group. Aonarentl;' he had no luck. The second expedition was headed by an Englishman, who hoped to find the secret hoard left by King Christophe of Haiti. The third was a small affair, got up by a Jamaican planter, who aimed at locatin- the' treasure of that buccaneer king. Sir Henry Morgan. This is said to be buried in a cave In ome Facts A bout Here are some facts about Colorado which few people know It is the greatest gold-producing state. The greatest silver-producing state. The greatest health-restoring state. The greatest scenic state. The state of 300 mountains, half of which are not even named, to say nothing of 900 lakes and more than sixty rivers. The Rocky Mountains occupy in Colorado alone more than five times the entire space occupied by all the Alps. Among the Alps there are nine peaks more than 14,000 feet high; in Colorado, forty-two all higher than the famous Jungfrau. There ere a full score of incorporated towns, doing business every day in the week in Colorado on a higher level than the great St. Bernard Pass, with its monks and dogs and snow storms.

Barbados is a favorite resort of the treasure seekers. Several caches of doubloons and pieces of eight have been found there In digging among old ruins. Capt. Kidd once ran his shin ashore at Barbados when chased by a cruiser.

If it was It succeeded to perfection. tor acres around the spot indi cated," says Hesketh Bell, a colonial official, "the soil has been perfectly honeycombed by the excavations of treasure seekers. No one knows whether the booty was secured, as the finder would In all probability have been most careful to keep his success a secret, so as not to have to share with the government and the owner of the land besides. Even now. when any one is noticed to become suddenly well oft and flush of money, he is at once set down to have discovered a buried jar of gold, when, perhaps, the reason of his affluence may be much more ques tionable." In Haiti, not long ago- a hidden treas ure was brought to light In the pic turesque town of Oonalves in a rather curious way. A mulatto lived there who was almost penniless. He Inhabited a desolate ruin which had once been a fine old planter's chateau in the days when the French owned the islands.and he eked out a miserable existence by cultivating a feeble yam patch. Suddenly the mulatto blossomed out a a a man of wealth. He bought a fine house, a provision store, a rum shop and horses and mules galore. Every body wondered where he got his money. but only one man. another Haitian mu latto, had sense enough to figure the matter out. ""See here," said the second mulatto, "I've taken a fancy to that old ruin of yours. Kind of picturesque, isn't it? I'll give you $500 for it." The first mulatto lumped at the offer. As soon as the deal had been effected the purchaser had the house carefully pulled down, brick by brick, and the foundations dug up. As tne result ne found nine small ironbound chests filled with treasure. They contained a great deal of French gold and silver coin of the eighteenth century, gold and silver niate. Jewelry, church ornaments ana other valuables. Altogether the nine chests were valued at over $500,000. When the first owner heard of it ne was furious. It then came out that one day by accident he had found a similar chest hidden In the wainscoting of the hall and had realized upon It. It never struck him that there might be more behind, so he gladly sold the house, fondly Imagining that it was an empty shell from which he had extracted the kernel. He raved like a madman when he heard the news, but the other mulat to possessed political pull and soon quieted him by the simple expedient of having him thrown into jaiL New York Sun. v Fair PrlTeleges for 8ala.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING AUGUST 22, 1903. THEATRICAL NEWS "Stain of Guilt" at the Craw ford Sunday. "The Millionaire Tramp" to Come on Tuesday Night. SWEET CLOVER SOON Will Follow "The Volunteer and Miss Van Tassell. Florodora Is One of the Sea son's Early Bookings. "The Stain of Guilt," a new end purely American melodrama will have its Initial performance in this city at the New Crawford Sunday evening It is one of the successes of the year and is said by the critics in other cities to be one of the most effective melo dramas written. It Is by Walter Mathews and Is full of irovel features. It is produced under the direction of John H. Havlin and Wm. Garen. It is not often that a popular priced melodrama is presented by a company which contains so many good names and great promise of merit is "The stain of guilt." First there is Os car Dane, one of the strongest of char acter actors whose work In "The Lost Paradise." 'The White Heather" and "All on Account of Eliza" is well re membered. He will be seen as the up-to-date detective. Then there Is George I), Melville, another character man and for years connected with several of the best known stock companies. The lead ing woman is Rachel Acton, whose suc ces as Jessica in the all star cast of "The Merchant of Venice," for the past two seasons has been noted by critics all over the country. John Rucker, the funny colored comedian, appears in the cast In an original part, whliw Ruba Waddell, the bucolic pitcher of the American League, appears as himself in a part especially written for him. There are half a dozen other people whose names are familiar la popular priced houses. But the company Is not by any means the whole thing in "The Stain of Guilt." The play, which has been elaborately mounted and carries a car load of scenery, is one of absorbing heart interest. It tells a story that is almost entirely new because of the man ner in which it is worked out. It is in four acts, the first showing the early stages of the construction of a new bank building. The workmen are clos ing the work of the day. The dramatic situation Is a strong one as the cashier of the bank is accused of theft. A low grogRery and "fence" Is the scene of the second act. In this there are several culminating events. One of these is an explosion and attempted murder. The third act returns to the new bank building. The climax comes In the de tective being bound under the elevator used for carrying material. He is to be crushed to death as the elevator de scends. He is saved by the heroine, recognized only ng an Italian street singer by the sister of the accuser cannier ui ine uuiik, uii'i u ncwuny pickpocket who has begun to have some of the refining influence of a new life. The fourth act is in the library of the banker, at his home. The scene here is dramatic in the extreme. The ending is a happy one of a double ro mance. The greatest novelty in the line of character work is said to be In the part of the detective as played by Mr. Dane. In other cities where he has played many have been obliged to ad mit that in several of his disguises they did not even Imagine his Identity, Of course, the construction of the play is largely responsible for this. "Clear stage, we carry all our own scenery." is the notice received from the "Millionaire Tramp" company. Ex changes say that the setting of the Holy Cross church, in the second act, is one of the most realistic stage pic tures ever witnessed. The third act contains a novel setting, the exterior of an opera house, changing to the in terior with the audience seated and the performance in progress. In this scene theater-goers will have the unique ex perience of watching another audience watch another play, or. In other words, an audience that is to itself an audi ence will to the real audience become nctors. The play comes to the New Crawford Tuesday night. Fascination for donning male attire seems at present to be the desire of ambitious women in the theatrical business, and In many of the metro politan productions this season a num ber of leading actresses will don the nether garments of the opposite sex. In the romantic play. "The Volunteer," Acuste Chest Pains From "Tobacco Heart." Valvular Heart Dis ease Threatened. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Cured Me. The effect (excessive smoking shown by uch symptoms as heart pains, heartburn, smothering spells, shortness of breath, flut tering and palpitation, is most serious. If your heart is in any way affected you should at once begin the use of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure which enriches the blood, regulates the heart's action and improves the circulation. "I am a local newspaper man and have ben an inveterate smoker since my boyhood. A little over a year ao I first noticed symptoms of heart trouble, palpita tion and acu'e pains and a peculiar, I might say, indescribable feeling across my chest. Local physicians said 1 had 'tobacco heart.' I quit smoking for a while and took regular dose, of digitalis and belladona with some relief bat the same oid symptoms were still there. A iriend of mine here recently died of what the doctor said was valvular disease of the heart, Knowing that his symptoms were similar to mine I felt that my time too was limited, although I am still a young man, in my thirty-ninth year. In Skillman Stone's drug store here Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure was recommended. I began taking it and I can positively state that its effect is marvelous. I have just finished my third bottle and feel like a 'kid' and believe I am rared. This letter is the spontaneous utterance of one who wishes to thank you for benefits received." Wm. N'.

Cora Van Tassell la given an opportunity by the author, In the second act, to aon maie attire and appear In disguise. In the role of a drummer boy. She has al ways been one actress who could put on boy's clothes and look the part, be ing the possessor of a superb figure. She looks dainty and fetching. Miss Van Tassell says she feels all she ex presses, and for that reason her audi ence Is with her from the first fo ment she steps upon the stage. "The Volunteer" affords Miss Van Tassell many opportunities to display her ver satile ability, and the star and play have both been big hits since the orig inal production at McVicker s, Chi cago. AH of the characters In the beau tiful scenic production of 'Sweet Clover." the comedy drama by Pauline Phelps and Marion Short, soon to be Some of the Flayer Who "Will here, are well drawn. They are natural, lifelike, and not exaggerated. Among them is "Aunt Abigail," a spinster with an Inexhaustible supply of wit and pungent epigrams. She says, "Foolish ness and spooniness are sometimes more sensible than sense." "Some men has to have a day and hour set aside for proDosln'. and then, ten chances to one, they don't propose." "I suppose there has to be old maids in the world or there wouldn't be no one for folks to be makin' Jokes about." "Florodora," now in Its fourth year in America, will be presented here shortly by Fisher Ryley'a company, with Isadore Rush. R. E. Graham, Edith Yerrington. Philip H. Ryley, Donald Brine, Harriet Merritt, Jos. Phillips and Thos. A. Klernan as the principals. This will be the only com- j-pany appearing in the play this season. and the management has laid Its plans with a view of having it the largest and best that has been sent en tour. The chorus will have seventy people, there will be a special orchestra, and Fisher Ryley promise a revelation of loveliness In the much-discussed sex tette. An entirely new scenic produc tion has been provided, and it is of such a massive nature that it requires two cars to transport it. MRS. FISKE IS BUST, la Rehearsing for Production of Mary of Magdala." Mrs. Flske, who has Just returned from a long vacation spent in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and France, is busy at the Manhattan Theater,. New York, rehearsing her company in "Mary of Magdala." which on September 14 will begin a brief season at that house, where last season it ran for many months to the finest series of audiences both num erically and in character seen in New York in a decade. As Mrs. Flske this season will undertake a long tour.reach ing to the Pacific coast and including Topeka, her engagement in "Mary of Magdala" in New York is limited to four weeks. It will no doubt witness a repetition of the triumph achieved in the metropolis by this great play and pro duction last season, when "Mary of Magdala" was hailed as one of the most impressive and beautiful representations that the American theater had ever seen. Fortunately, Mrs. Flske's tour' this season will include this city, and her coming in this play may be regarded as one of the events of the season in the drama here. The same splendid scene ry, accessories, and costumes that made this production so marvelous in the ma terial sense last season will be carried on the tour, and Mrs. Fiske will again be supported by a company large in numbers and distinguished in the ac tors who will impersonate the prominent parts in Heyse's great drama. NELLIE M'HENRY RICH. Found $50,000 and Will Retire from the Stage. In November, 1899, Nellie McHenry (Mrs. Webster) was playing a not-over-ly prosperous engagement at Buffalo. John Webster was managing the affairs of the company, and had entire charge of all receipts. One night, toward the close of the week of November 9, Webster disap peared, and from that day to this noth ing definite has been brought to light to prove him either living or dead. Splendid fellow that he was, good natured, generous, a devoted husband and a gentleman both by instinct and education, it was nevertheless known that he was prone, at times, to indulge to excess his appetite for drink. The first thought was that under the influence of liquor, he had wandered away a not unfrequent occurrence with him, and that within a day or two he would report for business as though nothing had happened. The day following, however, his hat was picked up near Niagara Falls, and then the fear took possession of his friends that he had been swept over the cataract and drowned. Stories were told of two strange men seen with Webster the night of his dia- Oscap. Dane """T! l i n i J Tne otam of Guilt.

His wife, how ever, refused to believo him dead, and when his accounts were examined, and the fact revealed that he was without funds, she still scoffed at the idea of suicide, or even murder. Left dependent upon her own exer tions, however, she still continued act ing, meeting with such good fortune that she was enabled to maintain her beau tiful home in the New Jersey highlands and enjoy its comfort during her per iods of rest. Persistent in her efforts to know mere of the fate of her well-loved husband she made repeated trips to Buffalo, and last season, while she was playing here at Heuck's, I was told that she had se cured sufficient evidence to convince her that he perished in the Niagara Rapids, but whether by accident or the design of self-destruction was not clear. Mrs. Webster knew that her husband Be Been in Topeka. Next Week. had valuable bonds and securities in some safe place of keeplng.and the mys tery of his death was only added to by the inability of any one to locate these papers. Only a day or two ago, how ever, securities to the value of 150,000 were discovered. $30,000 in one lot and J20.000 in another in two separate safe deposit companies in New York city, which have since found their way to the bank entrusted with the handling oi Mrs. Webster's finances. Hence the rejoicing of the suddenly enriched comedienne and C4er friends, and the wise determination of the fortu nate Miss McHenry to withdraw rrom the scene of her successful endeavor be fore that lagging day of superfluity forces her to a retirement wjthout credit or applause. LARGE BOX OFFICE RECEIPTS. A General Advance in Admission Price in Few Years. There has been no more remarkable development in the commercial end of theatrical art than the gradual but certain increase in general receipts, says the Morning Telegraph. It was Just a little more than twenty years ago that during a certain week in Chicago Joaquin Miller's "Danites" played to something over $7,000. This was considered so remarKaoie mm me fact was advertised in tne dramatic papers of the time, ana pnotograpns of the box office statement were sent all over the country accompanied oy an affidavit before a notary public lor fear that it should be aouDtea. It was a good many years later that the $10,000 mark was reached, and then it was thought that the limit of all things had been reached. It was when the late Henry E. Abbey managed Ed win Booth that this surprising thing happened, and people stood aghast. Any attraction that could go through, the country then and play to an average of $5,000 was considered a topnotcher,. but it is no unusual thing in these days for a piece like "Ben Hur" to play to over $20,000 a week, and it would be considered poor business for stars like Sothern or Julia Marlowe to play to less than $10,000 right along. It must not be forgotten, however, that with this vast increase of general business, expenses have kept pace, too. When the present casino was In its first great heyday of comic opera under the Aronsons $5,000 or $6,000 was considered a plentiful sum to put out on the pro duction of a new work, and they seem ed to look very well too. But such pieces as "The Sliver Slipper" and "The Runaways" are claimed to cost ten times as much as the pieces of those 4ays, and very likely the claim is a truthful one. It was at this very casino in those times than Lillian Russell resigned her part because they would not give her $700 a week. She had bee getting $500. The Aronsons thought such a demand preposterous, though not long after ward she got $1,500, under another man agement. Today anybody of real worth gets $500 in a comic opera. This great Increase in modern theat rical expenses had to be met in some way. For a long time managers stag gered under the load without exactly knowing what to do. The regular price for a first-class ticket in a New York theater was $1.50. and in the coun try even the big organizations dared to AS A LAXATIVE Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is with out an equal. It will not gripe nor shock the system, and make you feel sick all over like most cathartics do, but has a firm and gentle effect on the constipated bowels, stimulating and as sisting them in the proper performance of their functions. Then an occasional dose is all that is needed to keep the bowels regular and the stomach strong. A trial will convince you of its value. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. I 1 f charge no more" than $1 for the best seats. It was the late Augustln Day who cut the Gordian knot.- His was the fashionable theater of the town He catered to the wealthiest class of people and his company was the most famous in the land. He suddenly Jumped his price from J1.50 to J2 a seat, and no patent objection was made to it. in fact nls patrons applauded him for it as the impression seemed to be that it made them a little,, better than other people. Not long after Daniel Frohman, then manager of the Lyseum theater on Fourth avenue, made a very shrewd move. His first rows of the balcony in that little house were the most unsal able in the house, owing no doubt to the common prejudice of going up stairs. bo he put these seats, and only these, at $2 each, and after that they were sold out first of all on the principle that a New yorker always wants the most ex pensive things he can get. Finding how easy it was. the mana gers fell in line until at present the or chestra floor of every first-class theater in New York sells at J2, and so long as the entertainment pleases there is no difficulty whatever in getting it. The managers in all the other big cities followed suit. They went up from $1 to $1.50. with $2 for special at tractions. This general increase in prices all over the country aceounts to a great extent for the size of receipts as com pared with what they used to be. Nev ertheless there has also been a vast ad dition to the number of theater-goers. superinduced, perhaps, by better busi ness methods than used to exist. BLACK HAIR IS BLACK.

Miss Galland, whose cloud of beautiful hair has individualized for us those charming portraits of Ottille in "The Pride of Jennlco," Isoult in "The Forest Lovers," Juliet and Lady Tea zle, refuses absolutely to hide her crowning glory under a wig, or to accept the other alternative of dyeing her hair. Mr. Major ought to be satisfied with his rara avis, as a black-haired actress nowadays is as rare as ravens among peacocks. THE WEEKLY GRIST. Funny Stories Toid by Players Off the Stagt Miss Elizabeth Kennedy says that the most trenchant piece of dramatic critic ism which she has ever read came to H C Tl 1 1 1 f last HA3an u-llan .cHa -i u f playing Madame Trentonl in "Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines.'1. Said Miss Kennedy: "I was traveling in the far west. We were to play Carson City, Nev., and on reaching that place we learned that a cheap show had perform ed there the night before our arrival. That same afternoon at the hotel I picked up. the t'ardtaj. Appeal, and. was glancing through is columns, when my attention was attracted o a short paragraph headed 'Current News Items.' As nearly as 1 remember the items were as follows: 'Rainstorm in Truckee.lasting twen ty-six minutes." 'Hailstorm in Douglas, six min utes.' 'Windstorm in Reno, two days." 'Barnstorm in Carson City opera house, one night.' A well known theatrical manager.who is distinguished for his business ability rather than for his knowledge of liter ature, was visited not long ago by an aspiring playwright. He had with him, he explained to the manager, the man uscript of a play based on one of Edgar Allen Poe's stories, which he was sure was destined to make a sensational hit on the stage. The manager consented to hear the play, and listened with in creasing interest as the playwright read from his manuscript. He w-as enthusiastic when the end was reached. "That's fine!" he exclaimed "fine! Now I'll tell you what I'll do. You and Mr. Foe come in tomorrow and we'll talk this thing over." Josie Sadler, who plays Sophie Blots in "Peggy From Paris," has decided to offer a prize of $15 for ten Jokes or short German stories that she can use in her "Henny" song, which is said to be one of the hits of the George Ade musical comedy. Miss Sadler will give the prize to the one submitting the ten best jokes, and, of course, they must be similar to the ones she is now using in the "Hen ny" number. The following are exam ples: "Henny has a nice little sister, Katie, but she hasn't any legs. I had to stand up for her when Bhe got married." "Henny played with Sousa once but only once." 'Henny has a little brother who has a good job. He gets $14 a week till he's 34 years old, $18 till he gets 68 years old, and then if he dies he gets fired." Blanche Walsh, the Maslova In Tols toy's "Resurrection," has discovered the means to universal happiness, and oh, It's so simple. Strange no person thought of It before. To an interviewer recently Maslova confided: Some day I suppose every one will have automobiles. Then everybody will be happy. For if there is one thing that makes you reel really and truly Joyous it is spinning along in an auto mobile. No wonder the birds sing, while other creatures that don't fly can only bark, or groan, or croak. -Automobil-ing is the next thing to flying, and the throb, throb, of the motor is merely beating time to the music that you feel.

The census biv reau has published as a bulletin a dis cussion of the increase of population in the United States as shown by the cen sus of 1900. The principal results of the study of these tiKures are summarized as fol lows: The increase in the population of continental United States, that is, the United States exclusively of Alaska and the recent insular accessions, was 13.046. mi, or 20.7 per cent. Only one country Argentina, has shown by the most re cent figures a more rapid rate of growth. The present rate of growth in continental United States is estimated as double the average rate of Europe it is nearly that of Canada and exceeds by one-sixth that of Mexico and by one tenth that of Australia. The rates of increase on the two sides of the northern Atlantic differ much less than they did a generation ago. Among the five main divisions of continental United States the highest rate of in crease is found in the western division and the lowest in the north central. Among the eleven minor divisions the highest rate of crowth is' found in the Rocky mountains group of states, close ly followed by the western south central, lowest northern Atlantic closely followed by the western north central. In the decade liSO to 1900 for the first time in uur national history southern states increased faster than the northern; east of the Mississippi, however, tlv; northern states as a group have grown in the last ten years more rapidly than the southern; but west of that river the southern states have increased almost two and one-half times as rapidly as the northern and it is this fact which makes the growth of the south as a whole ex ceed that of the north. In the norih Atlantic division the rate of increase has risen steadily since the civil war, a no table contrast to the trend in the coun try as a whole. The region west of the Mississippi river is still increasing fast er than east of it, but the difference be tween the rates of growth in the two rcgioas, 1S90 to 1900 was little mure than one-fifth of what it was. 180 to 1890. The region east of the Mississippi in creased mure rapidly from 1S90 to 1900 than from 1S80 to 1890 while that west of the Mississippi increased in the later decade not much more than half as fast as in the earlier. The conclusion is drawn that the in creased growth of the east and the de creased growth of the west may both be connected with a probable decline in the current of westward migration. The rates of increase in the north and the south during the last 20 years were practically the same. But in the char acter of this growth the two regions dif fer widely, there being a relatively uni form growth over the whole south, equalized by a balance in the north be tween a lower rate of rural growth and a higher rate of ui ban growth. Extensively but sparcely settled areas in the western parts of Kansas. Nebras ka and South Dakota show a decline of population in the last ten years a fact which it is said may De connecieu niiu increase of population in many agricul tural counties of Iowa, Illinois and ad joining states, 1S90 to 1900. The most notworthy result of the en tire discussion it is said" is the cumula tive evidence of the rapid approach to equality in the rates of increase of vari ous parts of the I'nited States. This ap pears whether north be compared with south, east with west, or city with coun try. STRANDED FOUR DAYS. Young Canadian Robinson Crusoes. A couple of young Canadians had an accident to their canoe and were left upon a small uninhabited island for four days before help came during which time they had nothing to eat but a couple of packages of Grape-Nuts. In telling the story one of them says: "There was quite a party of us, and we prepared to spend a jolly time hunting in Muskoka. I provisioned the party and among other supplies laid in a stock of Grare-Nuts food of which I am very fond. "One day we left camp to paddle to the nearest steamer landing 12 miles away. Just as we pushed oft one of our companions threw into the canoe two packages of Grape-Nuts and a can of condensed milk saying. 'Leave these at Verne's with our compliments, they were wishing they had some yesterday.' We had gone about half the distance when it brt;an to blow, the Lake becom ing very rough, so we turned our frail boat towards small island and paddled with all our might to gain this shelter. Heavy rain began to fall and we drove the boat ashore with more haste than caution and in doing so struck a sunk en log and tore a large hole in the light canoe. We scrambled ashore and hauled the boat up after us and a nice plight we were in. "We were on a small island of about a Quarter of an acre and out of the track of steamers: a hole a foot long in our boat with neither tools nor ma terials to repair it; no shelter except some big trees and our canoe and no food except the Grape-Nuts and milk. "For four long dreary days we waited and hoped for help and finally our friends missed us and organized a search iarty and found us on the bare little island. "As we had no fishing tackle we could not fish and not having a fire we could not cook. But we had three meals a day on Grape-Nuts an condensed milk and when rescued we were none the worse for our experience. Thanks to the Grape-Xuts cm which we had lived and kept in good health for four days. "After this adventure I never drive a canoe to shore in a hurry and I never go on a hunting trip without a supply of the ready cooked ready-to-eat and always acceptable food Grape-Nuts."

Jlodern Woodmen Relief Fund Ready to Distribute. 1,700 APPLY FOR All). Two Hundred and Thirtj-three From Shawnee County. Woodmen Have Called Off Their Log Rolling Entirely. By the latter part of this week it is f xjx'c ted that the national officers of the Modern Woodman of America will begin the mymPnt of flood relief claims that have been accumulating at Rock Island, III., ever since the flood at the beginning of the summer. Seventeen hundred vouchers have reached the hands of the auditing committee and ere now being examined with a view to the distribution of the relief fund of $50,000 voted at the national meet ing of the order. Of this number 233 vouchers have been sent in from Shaw rue county alone. Vouchers have been forwarded from every locality in the Vnited States here members of the Modern Woodrr. 'n suffered damaged Horn this year's Hoods. Considerable care has been used in Freuring accurate information regard ing the losses sustained by Woodmen. To accomplish this a form of voucher has been prepared. In it the applicant for aid sets forth the total value of his property prior to the Hood; his total josses in property, time and sickness, and the number of his family or those dependent upon him for support. Of the number of vouchers sent in a con. siderable number may be rejected. The division of the SoO.fmO among those who sustained losses will not admit of a very large contribution to individuals.

The first county logrolling was held last year with much success. Hut fur the flood it would have been repeat ed this year. The members of the A. O. U. W., who have been inclined to worry greatly over tiie future effect of the new assessment rating adopted by the grand council, but Ftill to be ratified by ;h- several state lodges, are becoming reconciled to the Idea that it will net after all hurt them. Grand .Master R. W. Turner has written an open letter to the lodge members :n his jurisdiction assuring tiiem that until the grand lodge meeting In lt)5 the new rating can not ko into effect. Sovereign Grand Master W bb McNall has also taken the matter up and is giving addi tional assurances to the membership that th. new rating is all right.

The Modern Woodmen, after a bitter contro versy, lasting more than a year, have de cided to adopt the level assessment in stead of the old step rate and the new idea has been put into effect without causing any outbreak of opposition. The Fraternal Aid association was compelled to alter its manner of assessment at its last meeting, but with no unpleasant re-suits. XEWS OF THE WEEK. TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY.

Bearing the un enviable record of having been arrested 235 times, or more than any other wo man in this country, Amanda Orr was sent to the house of correction today for two months by Magistrate Fechtig. At noon yesterday Amanda was released from Bay View asylum, where she had served a two months' terms. She was sent there by Justice Garland, and so grateful was she for the kindly treat ment that upon her release she pur chased a silk handkershief and present ed it to the judge, saying she had decid ed to reform.

Com bine all mother love, the love of all mothers of all ages, and raise the sum total to its highest possible purity and power, and what is it but a single beam from the infinite pun of God's love?

The world needs no more. and. as I said before. God is the great economist. lie is scrupulously exact and Just In the use of the eternal forces. The world needs only one Saviour, only one Christ, and God has given us only one Saviour, only one Christ the risen Lord, who was and is for evermore the resurrection anil the life. Rev. Dr. Joseph Milburn, Con gregationalist. Chicago. WHAT GOD DESIRES OF MEN. God led his people out of bondage and gave them liberty. In their dark est and most discouraging hours God never forsook them. They had the pres ence of Moses as friend and guide. They went through many hard and trying experiences, but at last they ar rived at the end of their destination and entered Canaan. So it is with us. Now we are on our hard and dangerous Journey. There are enemies on every side. Often we are discouraged. We faint under our heavy loads. We mur mur against the jirovidences of God. This is not what God desires us to do. We are to learn patience, to trust God, to go forward uniler the guidance of the great leader. Jesus Christ, until at last the end of the Journey will come, and we shall enter our heavenly Canaan and be forever with our God. Rev. Dr. David G. Wylie, Scotch Presbyterian, New York. INFALLIBLE GUIDANCE. We need guidance to know when to speak, when to smile, when to frown, when to direct, when to enter upon public or private enterprises, to whom to trust our hand, our heart, our prop erty, to know what to believe where there is conflict or doubt. But there ts a power that can decide in all these cases. The impulse that so often guides in the common affairs of life is like the higher impulse that comes direct from God. The more we have of his spirit the more habitual becomes this instinc tive guidance. This will enable us to decide between right and wrong, to tell the true from the false, to tell where to go and where not to go, when to speak and when not to speak, when to preach and when to pray, when to lead others and when to hold back. There is such power. Jesus Christ revealed it to us as the spirit of God. and "he will guide vou into all truth." Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conwell, Baptist, Philadelphia. KERCHIEF FOR A NOOSE.

Besides purple, grass green and startling pat terns in black and "white are the vogue. Of course with the white shoes there are all manner of dain ty white stock ings, principally of lace work or embroidered heavily. Nothing is so smart as a ba 1 1 s t e colored linen trimmed with heavy white lace re 1 i e v e d with black embroid A smart bathing suit. ery, and let me tell you this embroidery in the shape of French knots is not at all hard to make. Many a ready made suit has been transformed into a very Frenchy looking thing by this means. Judgment In Drpai. Certainly a little taste iroes a lone way, and it is not always the girl with the most money who is best dressed. But the girl with the small income must think it all out. must plan beforehand, or else she will be grievously left. Tt is the mistakes a girl makes which eat up her Income. With a couple of linen gowns, two or three muslins and last year's lace robe fixed over, a girl can make quite an attractive appearance, provided the gowns are up to date and she has a hat which will go with each of them, for hats play a very im portant part, as they are worn even Into the hotel dining room for dinner and are frequently kept on during the whole evening. Let us suppose that the girl has a pink muslin gown, a pale blue and a grass linen or pongee. With the pink dress she will wear a hat of sunburned straw trimmed with pink roses and their foliage, with the pale blue a white shape simply trimmed with a white feather, and this also can be utilized for the lace dress, while as for the ecru that may be worn either with the pink and ecru hat or it may have an all brown hat brown straw, feather, velvet, all matching. This last Is extremely chic thitj year. FALL WAIST OF The coquettish girl wears under her thin gown of white lawn a petticoat having above the knees a wide beading, run through with pale blue ribbon.

She was by far the smartest girl on the beach. Winter Paupers Summer fripimn. Last Sunday I sat in the upper win dow of the hotel watching the people come in and out. First one prancing pair of horses and a carriage would draw up. then another even more gor geous. I was much impressed and not a little puzeled, for some of the people I knew about in New York, and it seemed to me they lived rather humbly had all they could do to save money for a hansom now and then. I said as much to Mrs. Knowitall, who was at my side. She chuckled. "My dear, haven't you ever heard of splurgers?" she inquired. "And don't you know that one can hire a mag nificent turnout, two horses, coachman, drab cushions, red wheels and all, for $125 a month?" "What?" I gasped. "Even so." she returned. "Of course In the winter it would cost $250, but in the summer time the owner of the stable is only too glad to send his horses out to the country. The $125 pays for their feed, for the keeping of the man and the wear and tear on the carriage. There is even a slight profit. In town the horses would simply have to stand in the stable. So these people who wish to make a brave show in the summer scrimp during the winter and drive a hard bargain with the livery stable man at the be ginning of the season. They then depart for some fashion able hotel and give the impres sion that they are millionaires." The "Resort" Gossip. The more I see of summer ho tels the more wonderful I think they are Dancing frock. and the more I detest them. The envy, the malice, the heartburnings and above all the hypocrisies almost make one lose one's faith in human nature that is, faith in the human nature of our particular class in society. There is of TAN CASHMERE. course the other class, and I sometimes think they who belong to it are the only ones who really know the true meaning or life. In every hotel there is a knot of gos sips that goes without saying. But in one hotel there is an arch goesip, a chief priestess, as it were. She certain ly knows everything that transpires, but I was in ignorance of some of her methods until the other day. I was conversing with old Greatrox in a secluded corner.' of the piazza just in front of the long French windows open ing out of the ballroom. It being late afternoon, shutters were closed and fastened to keep the room cool for the evening. As I had just walked through it I naturally supposed it to be deserted. Well, Greatrox was Just in the process of telling me the story of his life when there was a rending, rip ping, crashing sound directly behind us and, Io and behold, out through the French shutters, which parted very suddenly, was propelled a red faced.

This had suddenly slipped on the glassy floor and she had been hurled through the loosely fasten ed shutters and straight into our pres ence. She disappeared down the piazza, limping slightly, but with a great air of unconcerned dignity, while I stuffed my handkerchief in my mouth and Greatrox shook like a huge jellyfish. But, oh me, oh my! Here I was going to close thi.s letter without describing the little dancing frock in the sketch. It is of yellow crepe de chine trimmed with shirrings over the bust and hips and a lace panel outlined with, slightly deeper velvet ribbon. The sleeve frills are of accordion plaited yellow chiffon. I forgot to mention that here and there all through the lace there is a delicate tracery of silver spangles. Saratoga Springs. j HOW TO USE PERFUMERY. To have your writing paper, whether note or letter size, or a plain business like pad, carry with it a breath of dainty sweetness, you must keep it in tightly closed boxes in which are little packets of orris powder. Your bureau drawers will be perfumed, and the per fume will creep into your handkerchiefs and ribbons and your underclothing if you will line the bottom of the drawers with tissue paper; sprinkle this with powdered orris.and lay a sheet of tissue paper above it. A prettier way is to make a sachet the exact size of your drawer by quilting orris powder be tween folds of china slik. Little bags of silk filled with orris and kept in the pockets of your gowns will give them a very delicate fragrance. A pronounced perfume is vulgar. You must have merely a suggestion of it a whiff gone in a breath, not a coarse, heavy odor which makes your friends think of musk or patchouli. Perfume poured from a bottle is apt to scent a handkerchief too strongly to please a fastidious taste. You may use your cologne or your violet essence, a few drops at a time, in the water in which you bathe or you may finish your toilet by wetting your hands with a tiny drop or two of your favorite per fume. Liquid perfumes must be used sparingly. CARE OF THE NECK. The neck often shows signs of age much sooner than it should. The man ner of modern civilized dress is responsible for this. The causes which contribute to the destruction of the neck's beauty are many, but the principal are the stiff, starched collars which came into vogue with blouses, and the high necked street and house gowns which many women of today wear. Our grandmothers, who never covered their throats except to protect them from the cold when out of doors, and then only wore a loose scarf or something of the same nature, which di4 not compress the veins and mark the skin, had, as a rule, far more beau tiful necks than any of us. Day after day the modern woman wears from the time she gets up till she dresses for dinner or goes to bed a high, straight band about her throat. This induces an j unhealthy amount of perspiration. I Good advice for any girl who would i keep her throat beautiful is to have all her house gowns made without collars and to wear soft stocks of ribbon or lace. A little bit of a fat woman wearing a huge hat looks like a toad under an umbrella. soft. Most of these coats are long, the idea being to protect the gown from dust as well as to give the necessary warmth. Lemon juice and salt will remove stains from linen without injury to the fabric Wet the stains with the mix AND PEPPER" ZIBELINE. I The Voice ol the American Woman i SAY, you wouldn't care to be Miss I Penelope frowne, the American girl, would you sitting there holding forth in that dictatorial manner through her nose, even though it is a pretty one?" That is how an Englishman says he consoles British girls when they com plain to him that they are quite put In the shade when the girl from the United States appears on the Bcene. The American girl's superiority in gen eral attractiveness, in. knowledge and power to take care of herself, in good looks and physicaj. development is ad mitted even by the English. But there is one fling left to cast at her, and it never fails. That is her voice her nasal, throaty, uncultured voice. Do you know there is such a thing as the talking mouth? And with the talk ing mouth generally goes a voice that is terrible. The mouth is wide, opening farther backward toward the ears than the ordinary one. It is limber lipped, generally hung below a nose that is sharp. The tongue is long and thin, and, great Scott, how that tongue does gal lop! Tha sound that issues from it is as if it were a runaway tin peddler's cart on a small scale. You can hear It as if it were a phonograph. The woman with the talking Hiouth may be well and tastefully dressed, she may belong to the leading social class, but her voice jars sometimes on the sensitive ear like the crash of shivering glass or the twanging of metal. That voice again! It is time to be plain on this topic. The one point lacking to the perfect culture of the beautiful American wo man is found too often in her speaking voice. We cultivate carefully in our girls the singing voice, they are in structed in every manner of physical accomplishment, to make their bodies strong, beautiful and graceful; they are trained to be perfectly mannered social ly; moral sentiments that do them credit are inculcated only the speaking voice, that which means everything in a cul tured woman, is utterly neglected and allowed to heave along barbaric and throaty as it will. When American women go to Eu rope for the first time, if they have quick -5ars they notice at once the clear, musical sounding speech of the women there and at the same time the bad quality in their own. If they desire to improve themselves, they begin at once correcting the defects in their voices. The correction is easily made. For girls a year or two of schooling in Eu rope under teachers who will make them open their mouths ar.d speak with the tip of the tongue instead of back In their throats afford the best method of getting a clear, sweet voice. But any woman of any age can accomplish that much for herself even though she may never see Europe. The simple method indicated is infallible. Let the woman or girl speak a sentence in the ordinary way of so many Americans, back in her throat. Then let her throw her voice forward to the tip of her tongue and her lips and utter the same sentence. Her quick American ear will catch at once the difference in tone. Let me say it again: Any girl or wo man can achieve the sweet, clear talk ing voice for herself. She ought to do it and thus correct what is truly almost a national blemish, though we do not all recognize it Pronunciation Is a matter of taste and custom, and in many respects the American pronunciation is better than that of the English. But the attain ment of a clear, musical speaking: voice is a duty we owe to ourselves and the rest of mankind. MARY GOULD LYTLE. ture and put the articles In the sun.

One of these is a thoughtful investiga tion, irrespective of present condi tions, of any existing authority and of anybody's opinions, our own in cluded. As truth is infinite the human percep tion of it must always be a progressive one. Thus progress is the natural order. Progress being the natural order, those who oppose it are agitators as a stone Imbedded in a stream makes more agita tion than the little boats which move on ward. Life for every created thing means the fullest development of its highest and best according to the laws of its indi vidual nature. The conduct of human affairs should be such as to bring into activity the useful faculties of every individual and to make every possibility for good actual, this to be limited only by individual capacity. This is a tolerably comprehensive for mula of human existence. It is the summing up of the experiences, ob servations and reflections of one of the EARLY AUTUMN HAT OF newest new women on this planet or elsewhere, a grandmother who can sing and dance and write and lecture; a grandmother with scarcely a gray hair, a woman who, having earned a living for and brought up her own children, is now mainstay and home maker for her grandchildren. She is Abby Morton Diaz of Bel mont, Mass. Mrs. Diaz evi dently considers the old fogy to be the agitator, not the reform er. She may be taken as the type of the present day progressive New England woman of the pure stock, the proper resultant Abby Morton Diaz. of the combina tion of moral England climate ancestry. She is convictions,, New and pilgrim father descended from George Morton, who came over in the Mayflower and wrote the first book concerning the Massachu setts colony's history. George Morton's son Nathaniel was secretary of the colony of Massachusetts Bay for forty years, and he, too, wrote history, the "New England Memorial." As show ing the lamentable lack of new woman ideas in those days, however, it may be mentioned that this Nathaniel who wrote history did not teach his own daughter to write, and she affixed her mark instead of her name to legal doc uments still extant. Never mind. Her great-grandniece, Abby, has written enough to make up for all that she did not do in this line. The material and outward improve ment of the human race primarily through the recognition and develop ment of the mental and spiritual man within is the keynote of Abby Morton Diaz's latter day labor. The drawing to this work is an inherited development of the old time New England religious enthusiasm, transmitted through her father, Ichabod Morton. How strange the old Puritan names sound now! The Morton family settled In Plym outh town and remained there. Ich abod, father of Abby, was a skilled shipbuilder, so brainy and clever that he superintended the construction of a brig when he was only nineteen. A famous future was before him in those days when American wooden merchant ships ruled the seas. Ichabod went to Boston on business and took a room in a boarding house. One night he waked and found that boarding house room, like the room of Abou Ben Adhem, filled with a light, "making it rich and like a lily in bloom." Ichabod Morton believed, his daughter believes, that It was a supernatural illumination. At most serviceable summer gown. It can be worn on nearly all occasions and can be washed and cleaned like cotton. "Horatius," said the professor's wife, "I don't believe you've heard- a word that I've said, and here I've been talk ing for half an hour."

A vision was given to him of "our world as It would be under the reign of human brotherhood." "I think there was a Presence," writes his daughter. Thenceforward Ichabod Morton de voted only so much time as was neces- sary to material tasks and gave him- self to the working out of the ideals foreshadowed in his vision. Whatever promised to make the race wiser, just- j er, handsomer and happier education. liberty, brotherly love, yet above ail brotherly love this was what Abby i Morton's father pursued for the rest of his life. He imbued the little girl with his spirit, took her with him to meetings, taught her the meaning of advanced public movements at an age when most girls are playing with dolls. In her childhood at one time she did BLACK BEAVER AND PLUMES. without butter to save 12 cents a week to contribute to a philanthropic fund. That is partly how it happens that Abby Morton Diaz is what she is. Added to the love of progress and re form movements in her case was a practicality that enabled her to take hold of things with hands as well as with head and heart. She was eml- nently the New England woman who could do anything. In a sketch of Mrs. Diaz in the Woman's Journal Alice Stone Blackwell mentions how in the acquisition of practical knowledge she "picked up everything that came along." So, with her two sons to pro vide for, she taught school; she gave singing and dancing lessons; when nothing else offered she went out nursing; she wrote plays for Christ mas and other entertainments and her- self was both stage manager and lead- mg laay in tne performances. At last Abby Morton Diaz began to write, urged by an appreciative cousin, BLACK SILK SKIRT AND pondering professor, "who could be lieve it? You seem just as fresh as when you started."

Old readers of the At lantic Monthly will recall, printed In lt pages years ago., an idyllic love etory, "Pink and Blue." Talk of your ehort story writers! "Pink and Blue' was Mrs. Diaz's first story. It was accepted, though she did not expect it to be. The editor of tha Atlantic, then James T. Fields, accept ed several more of her etories. Mr. Fields paid for each one, but when ths series was ended he sent the young author a check for J60 additional, say ing he really did not think he had paid her enough for them In the first place. Tmae-ine ciinh q thlnt hanDeninar to magazjne writer nowadays! This wai tne beginning of a life of such intensa a varied literarv activity that it has scarcely been equaled In America or elsewhere, and it still continues. Mrs. Diaz became a contributor to the lead ing magazines and a writer of hooka. She had a sense of humor which mad her books delightful, especially those for young people. The best known of these is probably "The William Henry Letters." Others are "King Lily and Rosebud." "The Cat's Arabian Nights, "Lucy Maria," "Bybury to Beacon Street" and "Only a Flock of Women." I have seen a list of twenty-two books, besides a number of pamphlets, ot which Mrs. Diaz is author. After awhile, besWes writing, sha began speaking and lecturing, always for the upbuilding of the perfect race, for peace and human brotherhood, for arbitration instead of war, for equal rights for women, for child culture as the basis of good citizenship. The Wo men's Educational and Industrial Union of Boston is now a flourishing and powerful organization. That it la eo is greatly due to Abby Morton Dial. She worked for it, fairly carried It upon her shoulders in Its early days. Sh was its president for twelve years. No woman has done more for her own sex than Mrs. Diaz. She says, "The eleva tion of woman is the advancement of the race." Like all New England women of tha old stock, Mrs. Diaz is a perfect house keeper, consequently profoundly Inter ested In household economics. Her book, "Domestic Problems," has solved these for many a perplexed woman. There is not space here to mention half or quarter of her achievements. A lifa built up thus of good deeds must be a pleasant vista to look back upon. Mrs. Diaz could not have accomplished half so much if she had not had magnificent vitality. She has it still. She knows how to conserve it. Whatever her hand found to do she has done with her might, and the summing up is great. Always, too, she has continued learn ing as she went along, topping off with what perhaps she considers the grand est lesson of all, as expressed in a re cent private letter from her: "Thought moves the world." KATHERINE BLADES. A PLEASANT WAY OF EARNING MONEY. Now that pictorial advertisements are all the rage, certain people who are not afraid of facing the camera are making quite a pleasant amount of pocket money by sitting to draw atten- tion to the wares of certain firms. There is an actor who has. or had, an agreement with a certain firm of pho tographers, which practically amounted to a regular salary, giving them the call on his services for such purposes: The humorous part of the proceeding is, however, that whenever his friends have seen the likeness they have been struck by its resemblance, but he has always denied the soft impeachment, Everybody has a double, we know, and so it must be this actor's double. A certain quaint advertisement is strik ingly like another actor celebrated for his lack of beauty, and though one would not like to say that it is he one may have suspicions all the same. NEW NEGLIGEE STOCK. One of the newest stocks for negligee wear Is a very soft silk handkerchief of unusually large size. This comes In five or six colors, navy blue, dark green, black and a lovely shade of crim son. The handkerchiefs are dyed batik fashion that is, by having small stones tied in the silk in an irregular pattern before being dyed. The parts covered by the thread are left white, and the effect is a design of small sketchy circles or wheels. The handkerchiefs are fold ed three times on the bias, wound twice round the neck and tied in a hard knot. The World's W. C. T. U. convention. at Geneva, Switzerland, was the sixth annual one.
