Report of His Assassination Was All a Mistake. lie Was Shot at, but Escaped Uninjured. MAKES SO DIFFERENCE. Warships Will Proceed Accord ing: to first Orders. Americans at Beirut Are in Need of Protection. Hot the First Time Vice Consul 1 Has Been Attacked. Washington. r. C, Aug. 23. A decid edly new turn has developed in the case of L'nitcd States Vice Consul William C. Magelssen at Beirut, Syria, who was reported to have been assassinated last Sunday. It has become known that the report was incorrect and that, although Jlr. M.icelssen had been shot at, he had not even been injured. This infor mation came to the state department last nlht in- a dispatch from United Stat"s Minister Lclshman at Constan tinople, who said the mistake in mak ing the original announcement wasdue to an error in the transmission of a cipher dispatch from Consul Rayndal at lieirut in reporting the incident to the minister. The dispatch from Mr. Irish man followed close on an Associated Press bulletin on the same subject which had been shown to the prominent officials of the government. The dis patch from the minister was commu nicated to the president at Oyster Bay. Its contents were extremely gratifying to the officials of the government, as it relieved the situation of its extreme tension and leaves the way open for an amicable and peaceful adjustment of the incident. Acting Secretary Loomis declined to mak- public the text of Minister Irish man's diFpatch, but he gave a sum-' tnary of its contents. As stated In the' press dispatch, it showed that Sir. I Jla,"lssen had been shot at by some person at the time unknown to the offi V cfals, but that h? had not been hit. The "Val Turkish officiols were prompt to Sjiress their regret at the occurrence, mid wit exerting themselves to appre hend the assassin, but thus far had been unsuccessful. The minister's dis putcn also said that Consul Ravndal had reported to him that some of the foreign consuls located at Beirut had reported to their governments that the situation at that ulace had becom ex ceedingly unsafe, that this condition of affairs had existed for some time, and that something ought to be done to re lieve the tension. The opinion was ex pressed that the attempted assassina tion of Magelssen probably would bring matters to a focus, the attention of the Turkish government being drawn to the matter in this forcible tvay, and some effort would be made to avoid further trouble. The latest development in the Turkish situation was discussed in official circles whete the view is held that the denial of the report of the killing of Mr. Ma gelssen relieves the situation of its im mediate awkward and embarrassing feature, but will not prevent our naval vessels continuing to the east. Minister Irishman is one of the dispatches to the department suggested that condi tions were such that it might be well to have some American naval demonstra tion in those waters. Reports also have come to the government from the mis tdomiry Interests of the threatened dis trict of the destruction of their proper ty at Tarpoot. and because of this Ad miral Cotton, it is expected will be al lowed to proceed with one or more of his vessels to Beirut. Acting Secretary Darling has received a cablegram from the admiral dated Vlllefranche saying that he had left that place with the cruisers Brooklyn and the San Francisco for Genoa on the wav to Beirut. Oyster Bay. N. Y., Aug. 29. President Koosevelt was informed by a reporter of the Associated Press of the incorrectness of the report that Vice Consul William Magelssen at Beirut, Syria, had been assassinated. The president expressed -ratification that Consul Magelssen had scaped without injury from the assault. (Ie announced, however, that no change ','it present would be made in the plans of this government and that the Euro ean squadron which he ordered to pro ceed to Beirut would continue to its or dered destination. The president? ami Secretary of State Hay both regard it as advisable in view of the present state of unrest in Turkey, to have American war vessels in Turkish waters. The fact that Secretary Hay con siders his presence in Washington nec essary at this time indicates the seri ous view he takes of the Turkish situ ation. He had not expected to return to Washington lor several weeks, but the development in the Ottoman empire during the past few days induced him to come to Oyster Bay for a conference with the president, after which it was deemed desirable that he should return to Washington at least for a couple of Vc eelts. The secretary arrived here from his summer home in New Hampshire at 12:10 p. m. In a Driving rain storm he Vias conveyed to the president's home in time for luncheon. Iuring the B renter part of the ufternoon he was in conference with the president and left Sagumcu-e Hill about half past 4 o'clock. He took the 5 o'clock train for New York nrd Washington. At 11 o'clock a telegram was rece ived by Secretary Loeb from Acting Secre tary of State Loomis at Washington communicating: the text of a cable pram from Minister I.eishman at Con Ftantinople confirming the Associated Press report of the inaccuracy of the t report of Consul Magelssen's assassina tion. As eon as the message from the department was deciphered Secretary joeb communicated its contents to the pr esident by telephone. Minister Lolsh man explained that the error occurred in deciphering a telegram received from Consul P.ayndal at Beirut con cerning the attempt upon the life of 'Vice Consul Magelssen. The text of, Minister Irishman's cablegram Is hot made uublic here. It is i.he purpose of President Roose velt to afford American citizens in the disturbed provinces of Turkey all the protection possible. For that reason and for others that may develop in a short time, the decision is reached that no charge will be rii.de at ttrs time in the orders to the Kuropean squadron. Admiral Cotton will proceed with his vessels to Turkish waters with the idea of safeguarding fully Americans and American interests. THK MACHIAS SAILS. Genoa. Italy. Aug. 29. The UniUd States gunboat Machias left here today bound for Beirut. She was saluted by the Italian warships, whose crews wish ed her good luc k. COALING AT -GENOA Washington, Aug. 20. The navy de partment has received a cable message from Captain Henry McCrea in com mand of the gunboat Machias. saying that he had finished coaling the ship and that it would sail at once from Ge noa to Port Said. A message also was received today from Admiral Cotton announcing the arrival of the Brooklyn and San Fran cisco at Genoa and saying that they had been coaling. Acting Secretary Darling has an nounced that as soon as the Brooklyn and the San Francisco finish taking "on coal they will sail for Beirut under present orders. SULTAN IS WARNED. Washington, Aug. 29. The state de partment today received a cblegram from Minister Leischman In which he stated that advices from the American consuls at Harpoot and Beirut were to the effect that while the Americans in those places are in danger of suffering from an uprising at any time, the sit uation was not at the time of sending the dispatches as grave as earlier re ports would indicate. Mr. Leischman has been instructed to notify the Turk ish government that it must keep the peace and that it will be hell to a strict accountability for any lawless act toward American citizens. LONDON CAN'T UNDERSTAND. London. Aug. 29. The officials of the foreign office here are greatly puzzled over the error in its official cable mes sage announcing the assassination of William C. Magelssen, the American vice and deputy consul at Beirut, Syria. They reiterated today that the message was transmitted through the British ambassador at Constantinople from the British conrul at Beirut. No correc tion has been sent either by the am bassador or by the consul. HAY AT THE CAPITAL. Washington, Aug. 29. Secretary of State Hay returned to his desk in the state department this morning. It was said that his arriva' in Washington at this time was not due to the occurrences in Turkey, but in accordance with ar rangements made at the time of his departure for Oyster Bay. Mr. Hay said that while uprisings in Turkish dominion were more or less chronic, the present state of affairs is an insur rection of considerable magnitude. He would not disclose the contents of the cablegrams received last night from Minister Leischman. hut said that the minister's advices were that the erron eous report on thu assassination of Mr. Magelssen, was due to the use of the wrong coae nunnter .m uui iu error in transmission. The Information given In the- cablegram was that the governor called at the consulate and of fered prompt action and would make every effort to find out and punish the assassin. Mr. Leischman further ad vised the secretary that several of the consulates have reported to the gov ernment that the condition of the city of Beirut at the present moment is un safe. With the view to furnishing Secretary Hay with the fullest facts concerning the reports which have come from the missionaries in Turkey, a committee representing the board of American missions will call upon him tomorrow or Monday, he having indicated a de sire to meet such committee and obtiin from them all information in their pos session. TEXT OF CORRESPONDENCE. Washington, Aug. 29 The full text of the dispatches of Minister Leischman bearing on the Magelssen affair with the exception of the one received last night saying that the vice consul had not been killed Is as follows: "Therapia, Aug. 27, 1903. "Secretary of State, Washington: Just received telegram from consul of the United States at Beirut advising me that our vice consul was assassinat ed last Sunday night, while driving in carriage. Murderer unseen and un known. No explanation is given for de lay In reporting the case, but consul adds thatreply of government Is unsat isfactory. Have asked for further par ticulars and will at once make vigorous representations at the sublime porte. "LEISCHMAN." "Therapia. Aug. 27, 1903. "Secretary of State, Washington: I have made proper representations to the sublime porte with reference to the as sassination of vice consul, but pending reception of fuller details and also your instructions I have made no demands other than asking for investigation and exolanations which the minister for for eign affairs assured me will be given immediate attention. "The troubles in Macedonia become worse each day and outside of the ne cessity which may present itself of send ing a ship to Beirut to force a proper reparation, it seems to me advisable to keep a ship within easy range of Turkish waters in order to be in posi tion more fully to protect American cit izens should the revolution assume more alarming proportions. "The instructions have become more aggressive in eastern Rumelia since a visit of Russian war vessels and the passenger train from Europe was. blown up with dynamite about 50 miles from Constantinople, killing or wounding moFt of the passengers.

OFFICIALLY DECLARED FALSE. New York, Aug. 29. Sidky Bey. the Turkish consul general, in New York, received the following cablegram today from the minister of foreign affairs at Constantinople: "Rumors of the assas sination of the American consul in Beirut are absolutely false. The ITnite 1 States minister in Constantinople has been officially notified of this." .GERMAN COMMENT. Berlin. Aug. 29. The German news papers scoff at the error in deciphering the Beirut dispatc h received by Minister Irischman at Constantinople. The Na tional Zeitung calls Mr. Leischman's ex planation a "mystification" and lectures the authorities at Washington on the desirability of "care in these critical times." Another newspaper comments on the "nervousness of the diplomats at (Continued on Page Six.) DEATH SENTENCE. i,a!eb Powers Is Found Guilty the Third Time On Charge of Conspiring to Kill OoTernor Goebel. LIFE 131 PltlS0 31 EXT Is Changed to Death Penalty by the Jury. Will Again Ask the Court for a New Trial. Georgetown. Ky., Aug. 29. The jury in the ease of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in a conspiracy to murder Governor William Goebel in January, 1900, today found the defendant guilty and imposed the death sentence. Powers was sentenced to imprison ment for life in his former trials for complicity in the conspiracy. It was on his motion that he secured the new trials each time. The verdict today caused great excitement among the friends of other defendants in these cases. The third trial of the defendant closed shortly before noon. Several hundred people crowded the court room when the verdict was read and intense silence prevailed. The jury was polled and each man declared the verdict of guilt to be his finding. Powers sat unmoved while his attorneys asked for time to make a motion for a new trial. Arthur Goebel broke down from the strain on hearing of the verdict, of guilty. The jurors decline to state what occurred in the jury room. Arthur Goebel, the brother of the vic tim, is a prominent merchant at Cin cinnati, and he has spent his time and fortune for over three years in the pros ecution of those accused of being in a conspiracy to kill his brother. Powers has been convicted twice be fore, this being the third trial in which the jury brought in a verdict of guilty against him. On his previous trials he escaped with a sentence of life impris onment. All three of the trials were held at Georgetown, and In each of them he had the assistance of the most able lawyers that could be procured. Subscription lists were circulated in his interest by friends and a sum of money was secured to defray the cost of his repeated trials and the investigation of the circumstances which preceded the killing of Governor Goebel, in the inter est of the defense. The last trial was distinguished by the fact that Powers addressed the jury In his own behalf, and in a long review of the case showed himseif to be a very competent attor ney, while his eloquence in pleading for his life astounded those who had watched him carefully in the past trials of the case. Powers has alreadv been three years in prison on the sentence of the previous court. IS A FAMILY AFFAIR. Eberhardts to Fight Each Other for Tennis Honors. Atchison, Kan., Aug. 29. This aftir onon decides whether Frank or Fred Eberhardt of Salina is tennis champion of the Missouri valley. The brothers have worked their way to the finals in singles by defeating all their opponents and now stand opposed to do battle for the title of singles champion. As long ago as last week at the Oma ha tournament, where Frank Eberhardt won the singles, this possible situation was foreseen by the brothers. Frank Eberhardt, for four years the undefeat ed singles premier of the middle west, said to his brother: "If we meet in the finals at Atchison and you lick me, you can have the championship. I've had it long enough and it's too hard work to train." However, everything seems to augur Frank Eberhardt's retention of the championship this afternoon. He is the steadiest player who ever stepped on a Kansas court and no one ever saw him play when he was not "at himself." In this he excels Fred, who is more bril liant, but also erratic. "If Fred is on his toes he may wade through him," is the way John Eber hardt, the elder brother of the boys, puts it. The big match of yesterday afternoon in the third day of the Missouri Valley Tennis association tournament was be tween Vernon of Kansas City and Fred Eberhardt. The former played corking tennis the first set. his placing being the finest ever seen here. Vernon reeled this set off quickly 6-3. but Eberhardt upon the change of courts began to get to his weak point, returning lobs, and worked it perfectly. Vernon was not in the good physical condition in which the hardy Kber hardts always excel, and Fred, urged, aided, coaxed and cajoled by Frank, ran off with the second and third sets. This match furnished the nearest to real tennis displayed In the tourney, which has been singularly lacking in hotly contested or well played games. Young's enforced departure for Omaha, causing him to default to Banks, of Topeka. robbed the tourney of some spirited play, as he would have given Frank Eberhardt a hot argument. As it was Eberhardt quickly diSDosed of Banks, 6-1, 6-0. Notwithstanding the rathf-r low grade of playing and the absence of evenly matched games, the gallery is overflowing always and the spectators enthusiastic. Th3 results of yesterday afternoon's olav: Singles, third round Banks of To peka beat Young of Omaha by default. Semi-finals Frank Eberhardt of Sa lina beat Banks. 6-1, 6-0; Fred Eber hardt of Salina. beat Vernon of Kan sas Citv. 3-6. 6-2. 6-2. Doubles, second round Auld of Atch ison and Easton of St. Louis beat H. V. Jones and Vaugh. Kansas City, 6-3. 9-7, Fred and Frank Eberhardt beat Price and Sharrard of Atchison. 6-0, 6-0; Wilder and Sheldon of Kansas City beat Rhodes and Watson of Frankfort by default. Semi-finals Wilder and Sheldon beat Frazier and Hetherington, 6-2, 6-0. At a business meeting the following officers were elected for the ensuing yearJ. S. Chick, of Kansas City, presi den; E. H. Jones, of Kansas City, vice president; Chris Forney, of Abilene, sec retary and treasurer. It was decided to hold the next annual meeting at Kan sas City. Harry Noble, of Topeka, is the Sir Thomas Lipton of the tennis tourna ment. He is 45 years old, and the play ers all call him "Mister." He accepts defeat cheerfully, and is, popular with the boys. One of the players is a pink and white blonde, and his decollete white silk shirt and elbow sleeves are as becoming to hin. as a pretty dress is to 16-year-old girl. One of the tennis players has a heavy moustache, and looks funny in his boy ish white suit. The Atchison girls are loyal to the town boys, and won't applaud when an out of town player makes a good play against a town player. When the town boys are not in the game, the girls are liberal with applause. A party of Eagles visited the tennis grounds and came away highly dissatis fied. They complained that there was no coaching from the grand stand; no calling on a player to "hit it In the nose," or "put whiskers on it;" no um pire fining players for fighting. White a "round" was being played, no one got smashed in the jaw, and there was no uppercutting. The umpire did not wear a mask, and seemed to be in perfect safety. He was a cheery sort of guy, and did not do anything but talk of "love." The sports looked at their watches; it took the minute hand 20 minutes to make one circle, and they left the grounds. SATURDAY FORENOON GAMES. Atchison, Aug. 29. Only consolation doubles were played in the tennis tourn ament this forenoon. Jones and Schick of Kansas City defeated Latterman and Lowe 6-2, 6-1, and Price and Sharrard 7-5, 6-3. THE FUTURITY TODAY. Track Will Be Heavy for the Great Event. New York. Aug. 29. The sixteenth annual renewal of the Futurity at Sheepshead Bay will be contested over a track deep and heavy in mud. Still, something more than adverse con ditions of weather and track are re quired to cool the ardor of the average metropolitan race-goer. An attendance of not fewer than 50,000 persons, drawn from every walk of the seething life of the metropolis, will acclaim the winner of today's Futurity. Rain fell steadily during the after noon.. Dovecot, of the Keene stable, was scratched, but Rain or Shine, 119, was added. The weather had no apparent effect on the attendance, 15,000 to 20,000 per sons having arrived at 2:30 p. m. with crowds steadily passing through the gates at that hour. .J A field of twenty of the most fash ionably-bred 2-year-old colts and fillies In the world have accepted the issue, jit is truly a magnificent entry and well worthy the occasion of the richest and ibest. known contest for i-year-old thor oughbreds in this on ai- other coun try.

The race will be at six furlongs down the much-discussed "Futurity Chute." As the field stands on paper, Ham burg Belle will go to the post more strongly fancied than any other in dividual choice in the race. Every thing Is in her favor. She will open at 16 to 5 and 3 to 1. Form and figures point to Hamburg Belle as the win ner. She revels In mud and can out break and outrun any other colt or filly of her age seen this year. Her final work was three-quarters of a mile In 1:13 2-5. The fractions wre: :ll. :22. :34 1-5, :46 4-5, :59 4-5, 1:01, 1:13 2-5. John Madden believes he can repeat his victory in the Saratoga Special with Aristocracy bv knocking down the favorite with Abdell. Abdell is a Plau dit colt, who was just coming to hand at Saratoga. His true form Is not known. He worked six furlongs in 1:13 4-5 at Saratoga. James R. Keene and his son. Foxhall P. Keene. will make a bold try for it. They are sending three youngsters to the post.

Lou Dillon. He says a mile dash, three in five or two in three, will suit him and that he will bet from $5,000 to $20,000 that Delmar will win any sort of a race that is agreed upon. While C. K. G. Billings, the owner of Lou Dillon, has never raced a horse for money, it is thought he will accept this challenge, if for nothing less than the sport of the thing. The Y. P. S. C. Officers.

TO CHANGE CREWS London Hackers of the Sham rock's Offer. Will Bear Expenses of a Series of Fire Races? FAITH IN TIIEIll BOAT. Think the American Sailors Win for the Reliance. The Proposed Contest of Today Declared Off. London, Aug. 29. A cable dispatch was sent to Sir Thomas Lipton today offering to guarantee the expenses if he will agree -for a series of five races be tween the Reliance and the Shamrock III with their crews exchanged. In approving of Sir Thomas.' reported determination not to challenge again for the America's cup, the Globe this afternoon voices the despair which marks all the comment on the cup racing-, saving: "There comes a time when constant and Inevitable defeat wearies even the most enthusiastic, and Sir Thomas is well advised to relinquish the struggle while his pluck is so generally recog nized and before his failures-have be come a jest. While the American yacht builders are so superior to their Eng lish rivals we are not likely to regain the cud." Today's Contest Postponed. New York, Aug. 29 For the first time in the history of America's cup contest, a race has been postponed be cause of too much wind. Todav the third of the present series of races was to have been sailed. Following the fu tile attempt of Thursday, when there was not enough wind to complete the race within the time limit, it was earn estly hoped by yachtsmen that today's contest would be decisive and the series completed. Ten hours after Thursday's drifting failure a storm broke over the course and raged about Sandy Hook. The water was tumbled into waves that troubled even an ocean liner.. The wind blew with a velocity estimated between 40 and 50 miles, and the rain driven before it obscured the vision be yond a mile or two. Within the sheltering bend of Sandy Hook where the two racing yachts rode at their moorings, the water was com paratively quiet this morning while across the sandy peninsula the surf boomed as it broke upon the beach. At 7 o'clock the regatta committee met at the New York Yacht club house and decided to postpone the rate for the day. The meeting was then adjourned until 1 p. m. when a decision as to a race- being sailed Monday will be reach ed. In the meantime a tug was sent to Sandy Hook to secure the feeling of Mr. Iselin and Sir Thomas Lipton In the matter and upon the return of the tug definite action will be taken. A prominent member of the club said this morning that he was in favor of a race Monday and -now that Sir Thomas has openly expressed himself upon the abilities of both boats and acknowledged himself defeated. It was thought advis able by many members of the yacht club that the race be sailed Monday and the series completed as soon as pos sible. The committee of the New York Yacht club named Monday as the day for the next race. It was also decided to hold the races every day thereafter until the international contest is de cided. THEY HELD THE TRAIN. A Peculiar Marriage Is Per formedjit Kingman. Hutchinson, Kas., Aug. 29. Ava Cy rus Moore and Lavina Willburn of Sego, this county, were married at Kingman under peculiar circumstances. A spec ial excursion train was held while the probate Judge, John McKenna, who was In his baseball suit, went to his office, made out the license and performed the ceremony. Judge McKenna Is the pitch er of the Kingman ball club which was due to go to Pratt on a special Santa Fe excursion train. Just as he was climbing aboard Moore appeared and told his troubles to the judge. Judge McKenna tried to persuade the young man to wait until evening, when he would be back from Pratt, but Moore wouldn't hear to this arrangement and so the judge persuaded the conductor to hold the train until the ceremony could be performed. It developed later that the bride groom's anxiety was caused by the fact that it was an elopement and he was afraid the father would appear on the scene. The father did come later, but forgave the couple when he learned the romantic circumstances attending the marriage. Suicide on a Train. Ventura, Cal., Aug. 29. F. S.

COMES FROM MEDICINE HAT What Has Caused the Cold Wave Today. Medicine Hat, as usual, is responsi ble for the cool wave which swept over Kansas la3t night. In the winter Medicine Hat Is held responsible, charged and accused of all cold waves and blizzards. In the summer time Medicine Hat is blessed for sending relief. .The high barometer which Is re sponsible for this coolness, started from the vicinity of the famous place named for the medicinal headgear. In Kansas the mercury got as low as 44 but at Lander and Prince Albert.north west, it was down to 38. Cheyenne and Kalispel had temperatures of 42. Flag staff and Calgary thermometers went down to 44. Today's corn and wheat region bulle tin issued by Director Jennings says: "Clear and cooler weather prevailed over Kansas and western Missouri this morning, with a decided drop In tem perature In our northwestern counties. The temperature has fallen In all dis tricts except the Columbus, and show ers have occurred In all districts ex cept our own." The maximum and minimum temper atures recorded by the Kansas sta tions for the 24 hours ending this morning at seven o'clock were as fol lows: Baker S4. 54: Concordia R2, 52; Dodge City 86. 54; Dresden 80, 44; Fort Scott 86. 58; Hays SO, 58; Macksville 84, 58; McPherson 88, 52; Manhattan 90, 58; Osage City 92. 56; Sedan 86. 58: Topeka S6. 57; Toronto 90, 54; Wichita 86. 58.

FLEECED THE LAWYERS. Mr. Hanks Who Was "Hurt" Finds Easy Victims. Rather a smooth game was played on two Topeka lawyers a few days ago. A man giving the name of Banks, who claimed that he hailed from Overbrook, approached each of them In the same manner. He said that he was injured in a Missouri Pacific wreck last March, and wanted to bring suit against the company for damages: he thought about $3,000 would be right. He exhibited a letter purporting to be from the claim agent of the Missouri Pacific offering to settle for $1,000. Of course the attorneys, each in their turn, as he got to them, took the case for a contingent fee and lent him ten dollars to go down in the jungles somewhere and obtain additional evi dence. He is still searching for the "additional evidence." Now comes- the report that this smooth person is badly wanted for fleecing several disciples of Blackstone at Emporia with the same system. The names oi tne lawyers might be given, but it would hurt their feelings. OFFERSTUBSTITUTE. Universal Peace Union Adopts Resolutions on Lynching. Mystic, Conn., Aug. 29. The Universal Peace union at its closing session to.iiy adopted a series of resolutions or "convic tions." Lynching is declared to be a monstrous peace-breaker and state and national leg islation looking to its suppression is de manded. Race hatred and perjury is pro nounced a menace to peace. "If there be uncontrollable passions in the depraved intended victim of lynching." the resolutions say, "there is a remedy which medical skill may well be called upon to heal, as it would any other dis eased condition: for the increase of sen sual criminality affecting present moral ity and future generative forces, the sug gestion Is that this remedy administered with wisdom and the best surgical abilitv would be protection to society and a kind ness and mercy to the offender." Newspapers, the resolutions declare, should not be war makers by being sen sational and unwarranted news mongers. CLEVELAND WAS FUNNY. He Makes an Amusing Speech at a Clambake. New York. Aug. 29. Former President Grover Cleveland has been making mer ry with the members and guests of the Old Colony club at a clambake on Mar shall's island, says a Times ppecial from Bourne. Mass. The feature of the day was a short humorous address he made. "I hope," said he, "that the club will persevere in its efforts toward the unre mitting preservation of the Buzzards Bay fisheries, and I am willing to take out all the benefits of the club in fish ing. "Within the past few years I have been widely jeered and derided for spending so much of my time at fish ing. For those who jeer and deride me, I have only a quiet and unqualified con tempt. I go fishing because I like it, and I hope that I will continue to go fishing until as near the end of the chapter as possible. "I should like to say right here that I am more interested in the protection of the fishing at Buzzard's Bay than about ou.' hoary-headed infant industries. I care more for these fishing Interest? than I do about the policy of the next federal administration. "I hope that the Old Colony club will keep up its fight for the protection of the fish. Let there be no relaxations nor compromise. Keep up the fight unceas ingly. "Perhaps some of you are aware that an interesting event has recently taken place in our domestic circle. I am proud to say that another future fisherman has quite lately increased the population of Buzzard's Bay by one. "Now, some people are in the habit of telling fish stories and some people, no tably a well known physician of my ac quaintance are accustomed to weigh their catch of fish of their own private scales. Although this happy event was not the occasion for telling any unusual yarns, I put my fish scales into requisi tion and weighed my latest catch hon estly, and the tally was an even nine pounds."

Have Acquired Kansas Long Dis tance Telephone Company. The Missouri Kansas Telephone company ha3 absorbed the Kansas Long Distance Telephone Telegraph com pany, which tried unsuccessfully to get a franchise in Topeka a year ago, and is now building an extension In North Topeka to connect with a new Kansas City toll line which will be In operation in a few months. In the construction of the North Topeka extensions the Missouri fe Kansas company used poles bearing the stencil of the Kansas Long Distance company, a fact which appear ed suspicious to Mayor Bergundth.il. when he discovered it two days ago. He ordered work on the line stopped until Superintendent Henry Bayless of th Missouri Kansas company could show that it was not being done for the Lons Distance company. The Kansas Long Distance Telephone company was refused a franchise in Topeka a year ago on account of Ilia rather vague wording of the franchise ordinance proposed by it. The matter was not heard of again and the city council supposed the scheme to build a Topeka and Kansas City toll line had been abandoned. But It had not and poles were set between the two towns, although no wires were strung. Tim company could get no Topeka terminal and was bought out by the Missouri Kansas company which has a blanket franchise in Topeka. Superintendent Burt of the Kansas di vision of the company came to Topeka this morning and in company with the attorney, D. W. Mulvone, showed Mayor Bergundthal the deeds transferring the property of the Long Distance company to the Missouri and Kansas organiza tion. Mayor Bergundthal had instructed City Attorney Spencer to be ready to bring injunction proceedings to keep tho T,ong Distance company out. but sine; the showing of proof of a merger tho matter will be dropped. The Missouri Kansas company will be allowed to pro feed with building a telephone line with Kansas Long Distance poles. GEN.

TOPF.KA STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1903. KAHSASNEWS. Fire Calves Bitten by One Rat tlesnake at Goodland. Sinks Its Fangs Into Tbefr Heads Jtepeatedly. ANIMALS ASTONISHED. Formed a Semicircle Around the Angry Serpent. Their Heads Swelled Up as Big as Their Bodies. Goodland, Kas., Aug. 29. Five out of a bunch of twenty-three calves were bitten on the head by a large rattle snake on the Krnest Orieger ranch, north of Goodland Thursday. The heads of the animals swelled to twice their natural size, but none of them died. Mr. Grlcger was in town that day, and the calves were being herded by Lawrence Sater. The boy noticed that there was a commotion among the calves and went to find what the mat ter was. They had formed a semi circle, and with noses and tails straight out they would advance to the center and then jump back In a frightened manner. This was done several times, and when the herder came up he saw that a big rattler with ten rattles had been playing upon the heads and noses of the calves and had wounded five. At night when Grieger returned the heads of the bitten brutes looked like the biggest part of their body, and the poison had practically spent all its force. The calves had been allowed to run with the cows, and when they would attempt to suck their swollen lips prevented them from extracting any nourishment, and it was some time before they could eat or drink. It is a curious fact that the bite of a rattlesnake on the head of an animal Is rarely fatal, whereas a bite on the hind leg almost always produces death. This is the experience of those who know most about the effects of" snake bites, but no definite explanation of the action of the poison or the rattiesnaice injected into different parts of the body is generally known. OLD SOLDIERS AT ST. FRANCIS. Eighteenth. Annual Reunion of North west Veterans. Just west of the court house on a nunny slope are pitched in a hollow square thirty new canvas tents, sur rounded by supplies of clean oat straw, hay, fuel, water and all the conveni ences of an encampment.

AFRAID TO GO HOME. Sad Situation of a Little Leavenworth Girl. Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 29. The Times says: Lizzie Newingham, a little girl eight years of age, tanned so dark from the sun's rays that she might be mistaken for a native of southern Italy, attired in nothing but a dirty cotton dress, once white, but now almost black, with dark tresses hanging down over dark brown eyes; a rather pretty child but ill attended to, was found on the stone steps at Odd Fellows' hall last night by Officer O'Connell. The little girl was seated on one step with her head on another fast asleep. Her head lay on one arm and her little bare feet, cold, were drawn up under the loose folds of her dress. She was taken to the police station where she told Lieutenant Madison her name and that she lived at Fourth and Pawnee streets. She says she has four brothers and one sister and that she left home yesterday morning becausa her mother whipped her the day before. She had had nothing to eat since early morning. Detective McDonald took the little child to Cerletti's restaurant where she was given all she could eat and then a sleeping place was 'Provided for her for the night. She was shivering with cold as she had nothing on but the thin cot ton dress and this was kept on her lit tle body by nothing but a cotton string tied about the neck. The Humane society of Leavenworth will be asked to take charge of the child's case today. She is the Fame child that has been found by officers sleeping in weeds in vacant lots, on door steps and in barns. Chief Taylor once picked her up at Spruce street and Lawrence avenue and the child was found near the Black bridge the following day. The child was very timid when questioned by officers and said she was afraid to go home. BIG LAND SALES. No Less Than 200 Quarter Sections Change Owners. Morland, Aug. 29. It Is claimed that no less than 200 quarter sections of land in the west half of Graham coun ty have changed hands since the first of the year. In most cases these lands have been purcha. ed by residents of the county. There are many instances where the crops of this year have paid for the lands. The Morland elevator men estimate there will be close to 350,000 bushels of wheat tributary to this place to be marketed this year. The crop is the largest and best ever raised in this part of the state. There are no less than ten steam threshers at work tributary to Morland. Wm. Flick, of McPherson, and Welby Cunningham, of Chapman, are unload ing steam threshers here, which will be put in use soon as possible. Morland is now connected by tele phone with the county seat. Hill City, and also with Salina, Topeka and Kan sas City. The cash remittances of the Union Pacific agent in Morland for August will be $3,600. The town is small, but the business is here. The business men are enjoying a trade worth working for. Another heavy rain visited this vi cinity this week. The corn Is out of danger, and the crop will be first-class. There is a splendid opening in Mor land for a bank. SHE WANTS A DIVORCE. Leavenworth Woman Says Her Hus band Is Worthless. Leavenworth, Aug. 29. Mary Kamp has filed suit for a divorce from her husband Albert Kamp, thinking, no doubt, that she might just as well be divorced as to be married to him as he is living with a former wife. Such is one of the allegations the wife makes in her petition for a separa tion. The petition states that they were married in September 1902, but that the husband has been guilty of gross ne glect of duty in that he has, for the past ten months, been living with a former wife from whom he had been divorced. She sqys that during the few days they did live together as man and wife he was unclean not only in his lan guage to her, but also In his habits. The former wife the petition speaks of is known as Sofia Kamp. She obtained a divorce from Albert, January 29, 1902. In her petition, upon the allegation of which she obtained a divorce from her husband, Sofia claimed that her husband was prowling about the house at all hours of the night acting strangely and so much so that she once went to the police station in the night to have him taken charge of. She also made the al legation that Albert ruined her clothing io sucn an extent tnat sne did not have anything to wear down town. Has Some Fine Peaches. Mr. J. A. Willey saw the paragraph in the Journal the other day, which made mention of the fine peaches that had been sent from a California fruit farm by Mr. N. P. Demlng's son. He im mediately went out into his orchard, picked a bushel or two of Elbretas, hitched up and drove to town. The peaches he had with him were larger and finer than the California product, and attracted a great deal of attention. Some of the largest measured as much 10 inches. Mr. W illey has six acres of these peaches and while the yield this year will be very small, the quality of the fruit is most excellent. Two years ago Mr. Willey got 700 bush els off the six acres and they must have been "dandies" If they were all as fine as those he has been able to get this year. Lawrence Journal. Raises Fine Sugar Beets. Will Bisel, who lives west of town, brought in, samples of Rocky Ford sugar beets tody, which he has been experimenting with. His sample sugar beet weighed fifteen pounds. His sam ple of Mangel Werzel, which Is raised to feed stock, weighed twenty-four pounds. He brought in three ears of corn which measured 13,i inches each. He said he never knew farmers to have better prospects than they now have in this section. Atchison Globe. At the Fredonia Fair. Fredonia, Kas., Aug. 29.

Former Sumner County Attorney Will Try to Regain Position. Wellington, Kas., Aug. 29. Emera E. Wilson, who was declared by the dis trict judge to have abandoned his office as county attorney, thereby creating a vacancy, and who returned unexpect edly to his home after a month of wan dering announced his intention of in sisting on his right to hold the office over Judge Swans' appointee, J. A. Burnette. He denies any knowledge of having written the letter to his wife stating that he was going to commit suicide and declares he is still the legal county attorney. Wilson's attempt to regain the office may be the signal for the Institution of criminal proceedings against him by the de facto incumbent, Wilson's father-in-law, ex-State Senator Forney, has filed an answer In a suit brought by the Central National bank of Topeka, in which he denies the execution of a note on which his name appears with Wil son's and virtually charges the latter with forgery. Sirs, Redmond, of Burlington, Dead. Burlington, Kas., Aug. 29. Mrs. James Redmond died Friday after a lingering illness. She was the wife of Col. James Redmond, the lawyer, and mother of John Redmond, editor of the Jeffersonian. Drowning Accidents. The number of accidents by drowning, large as it has been of late, is in keep ing with the opportunities of the season. The statistical quota must be maintain ed with fatal and unerring precision. While a very large proportion of deaths from immersion are preventable, it is almost useless to warn the careless and unthinking person of his danger. The playful idiot who rocks the loaded boat is impossible of elimination, save in the exceptional instances when he goes down with the rest, but it becomes the prudent amateur sailor to be always on careful guard against the slightest mis hap to his craft. The trouble is, how ever, that the individuals "who know it all" and are willing to take other lives in their hands are too numerous to mention. It is when it is too late that the victims realize the real extent to which misplaced confidence may jeopar dize their lives. Still this must always be the case so long as rowing and sail ing are the prevalent summer amuse ments and fools are in plenty to take command. New Tork Herald. Farmers Not Easily Misled. There is a vigorous renewal at the present time of the efforts that have been m.ule in previous years to combine the farmers in one great organization to keep up the prices of farm pi otiucts. But there is no prospect of any greater success than here tofore. The men who are generally activo in such movements seek their own per sonal good rather than that of the farm ers. After much advertising and solicita tion a meeting was held last week in Chi cago to carry forward the work of such an organization. The attendance was small, according to the Chicago Tribune, and included one farmer, one board of trade member, two commission men, one. capitalist, one broker, one sDeculator and one manager of a business house. Noth ing could be done under such clrcum stances, and another meeting is to be held early in September. It is trthe credit of the farmers that they are not easily de ceived In this matter, even if this is an ago of great organization. Philadelphia press. EYE3YWKERE 1LD Save the Bands 5 6mk km litf ThY W ARE SPORTINGNEWS. Immense Cost of Seeking and Defending the Cup. Has Meant $2,500,000 to Americans toltetain It. LIPTON OUT $2,100,000. British Challengers Expend $3,500,000 Since 1886. The Reliance Expenses Are Footed by 10 Men. New York, Aug. 29. Since 18S6, when the Yankee yacht Mayflower easily de feated the cutter Galatea in two races, it has cost the United States nearly $2,500,000 to keep the cup on this side of the water. Sir Thomas Lipton alone has spent $2,000,000 in his attempt to "lift the cup," but of course, the challenger is usually under much heavier expense than the defender. And, furthermore, the cost increases with each succeeding race. The estimated cost of building the Mayflower and all necessary accessories was $100,000; of the Volunteer, in 18S7, also about $100,000. The Vigilant, which defended the cup in 1893, cost $300,000, including building, rigging.maintenance, etc. In 1895 the figures rose to $400,000, when the defender was the Victor. The cost of the Columbus, in 1890, was also about $400,000; in 1901 about $300,000 for the same boat, including tender, trial horses, etc.. and the cost to date for the Reliance is put by wise salts at nearly $600,000. The Reliance was built by a syndicate composed of 10 men. They are C. Oliver Iselin, who has full charge of the boat; former Judge Elbert H. Gary, Clement A. Griscom, James J. Hill. William H. Leeds, William Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Walters, P. A. B. Widener and Norman B. Ream. Mr. Herreshoff, it is said, received $300,000 for this boat. There are seven complete suits of sails for the Reliance, which would add another $100,000 to the cost of the yacht. The wages of officers and crew can be put down at $20,000, and the rations, maintenance, etc., at $10,000. The dry docking expenses must also be considered, and with new rigging adds another $12,000 to the cost. In addition there is that expensive thing, the tender, which was bought outright, and, with the crew, cost about $75,000 alone. The sum does not include the heavy expense of the trial horses, the Colum bia and the Constitution, which have been put in commission for this occasion. J. Pierpont Morgan, the owner of the Columbia, and August Belmont, who owns the Constitution, probably have spent more than $100,000 to help the Reli ance defend the cup. Sir Thomas Lipton estimates his ex pense for the present yacht race at $700,000. This year his expenses have been more than in former years, as he keeps two racing yfechts In commission. The Shamrock lit Jprobably cost about $200,000 to build, he has five suits of sails, costing abouj, $a,K0 each. Extra spars have been needed from time to time.more rigging has been found neces sary, and this, with other expenses, brings the amount to $450,000. The crews on the two boats the Shamrock I and the Shamrock III number 90 men. The captains' salaries are $4,500 each, and that of the officers $3,000. The 80 men composing the crew draw about $30 a month. They are en gaged for six months, making the total cost for salaries of officers and crew $21,900. In addition to their wages they have been promised each $75 for com ing to this side, which is in lieu of prize money. Of course this would be increased in case the Shamrock was the victor. Then there is the expense of the Erin to consider. It is said the food bill alone for this boat is $18,000, to say nothing of the wages of the crew. Furthermore, as both the Shamrocks have been in dry dock 22 days, at a cost of $300 a day, this brings the total cost of Sir Thomas' attempt to "lift the cup" to nearly $700, 000, and for the three races, in which he has competed, something like $2,100,000. And yet Sir Thomas says he does not think of the cost. The cost, therefore, to British chal lengers ever since 1888. when the Galatea come to this eountry.down to the Sham rock III, is about $3,500,000. and the Uni ted States $2,500,000, or $6,000,000 in all for both sides. Racing at Readville. Boston, Aug. 29. Pool selling was stopped at the Readville races by the police of Dodham. The driving of Cox was a feature of the day's racing, he winning both his races and receiving applause from the spectators. Prince of Orange was an even money favorite for the 2:08 trot, Dan T. being the hope of the field buy ers. Unfortunately for them. Dan T. made a break in the first heat at the seven-eighth pole when closing fast in on the favorite, and agin In the second at the half, which ruined his chances for the race, and Prince of Orange won by a neck. A big nlungc was made on Frank Wilson for the 2:13 pace, even in the face of the fact that Major C. had de feated him a Brighton Beach last week. In the initial heat Cox with Major C. kept hard after Frank Wilson, making him pace the heat in 2:0614 in order to win. This took a lot of pace out of the in bred Gambota Wilkes gelding, as was shown by his giving it up in the home stretch in the next two heats. Scott Hudson did not want to start Dillon Boy in the 2:16 trot, but as he had not withdrawn him from the race last even ing according to the rules the judges compelled him to start the horse. Hud son, on account of his suspension, en gaged EJ I.enycn to drive tor mm Diiion Boy won both heats only after a most severe drive the last hundred yards. It was his second victory of the week. Another to win twice in the meeting was Al Bock,- hut he only hada good workout to take the 2:19 pace. Purse for Four Runners. Chicago, Aug. 29. If the owners of MeChesney, Hermis, Africander and Dick Welles are anxious to decide the supremacy of the turf they can do so here. The officials of the Harlem track today offered a purse of $20,000 for a match between these horses, each own er to put in an additional $5,000 to start. The conditions have been wired to the various stables and no effort will be spared to bring about the race. So far J. B. Respess, owner or jjick weites, is the only one who has expressed him self as being willing to enter. Races at Des Moines. Des Moines. Iowa, Aug. 29.

The most amus ing game of baseball played on the Car bondale diamond so far this season was pulled off yesterday between two nines composed of local business men, who for the occasion styled themselves re spectively the fats and the leans. Nine interesting innings were played, during which the leans put it over the fat fellows to the tune of 36 to 14. Bat teries Fats, .Millen, Catren; Leans, Truesdail, Luman. Umpire, W. Miller. The most laughable feature of the game was the running of the fat men between bases. All business was suspended wmie tne game was in progress and the fun was witnessed Dy an entnusiastic crowa oi 500 people. The K. of P. band helped to enliven the occasion by playing several pieces during the game. Racing at Chicago. Chicago. Aug. 29.

By Ways was second, five lengths in front of the heavily backed Star Cotton, while Rankin, the even money favorite, was fourth, four lengths back. Peter Paul, with 115 pounds up, and backed from 6 to 5 to even money, ran away with the fourth race in the remarkable time of 1:02 4-5 for the five furlongs over a bad track. Jeffords Broke an Arm. Philadelphia. Aug. 29. Jim Jeffords broke one of his arms in the third round of his fight with Dick Cooley, of Chicago; and was forced to quit in the fifth by the agony he suffered. The fight occurred at the Broadway club and attracted a very large crowd. Both men were very anxious to put up a good bout, and a fair, clean, fast fight was on when Jeffords was injure. The two big fellows were fighting at an even breaK and there was nothing to choose between them when Jeffords' wing split. Rice County 15; Marion 2. Marion. Kas. .Aug. 29. Marion's win ning streak was broken in a game with the Rice county team, the latter win ning by a score of 15 to 2..

ALTERNATE PAGE FOLLOWS TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1903. PiAILR0E7S. Bapld Railroad Building In Colorado. Record for Mountain Construe tton Broken by Bio Grande. IN TJIREE MONTHS. Enormous Amount of Work Is Completed Within That Time. New Line Is to Bun from Lum berton to Uallina, N. M. Denver, Aug. 29. The record for fast railroad building in the west has just been beaten by the Denver Rio Grande. Inside of three months the contracts were let, grading camps were organized, the men put to work, fifteen miles of grade through a mountainous country was completed and ten miles of track was laid. The scene of this fast work was on the Rio Grande Southwest ern roud. which the Denver Rio Grande is constructing from Lumberton, near Pagosa Junction, to Gallina, in Rio Arriba county. New Mexico. This road, when completed, is to be forty-two miles long. It is being con structed for the purpose of opening a big timber district in New Mexico. While it is being built by a separate corporation all of the stock is held by the Denver Rio Grande and its direc tors are otlicers of that road in this city. The grading has now Wen com pleted to Stone Lake, a distance of fif teen mllfs south of Lumberton. The track laying has been completed to the vicinity of Horse Iake, a distance of ten miles. It is expected that Elvado, the point where the big Hums-Biggs lumber mills are located, will be reached by the first of October. This Is a Dis tance of twenty-two miles from Lum berton. The cost of the entire road will be about $2,000,000 when completed and equipped. It is understood that the lumbermen, farmers, miners and people from every section of the country have gone into the camps and offered to work on the grades. The result was as many labor ers as the contractors could possibly use and this led to the rapid work. WILL OPEN NEW COUNTRY. Eenator Clark's New Road Buns Through, a Rich Mineral Bell Those most directly interested in the construction of the ban Pedro. Los An geles Salt Lake road assert that its completion will open for development a very rich mineral Held in Nevada, which has heretofore lain almost wholly neglected. Contracts are to be let this week for building a section of the road between Daggett and Calientes. The original intention had been to delay building this section and use the Santa -Fe tracks by arrangement, but the re port of the men who inspected the country and found good, mineral indi cations along the projected route be tween these points probably determined Clark to build at once and develop that section on his own account. F, P. Frisbie, a prominent mining ex pert, who was one of the discoverers of Cripple Creek, has Just completed a two months' inspection trip of the land along the Clark line. He was accom panied by K. R. Casper, of Salt Lake, and they drove from Calientes, Nev., to Manvel In California, taking a number cf side trips to explore mineral sections on both sides of the survey. Their re port was that good mineral Indications existed along the route, across southern Nevada, and particularly from Calientes west. The land has been prospected but lltUa. The exserts found surface showings of gold, silver, copper and lead on both Bides of the route in the Crescent dis trict, which will be developed when the new road is in operation through it. At Vegas Valley, in the center of the mineral district. Senator Clark owns a large ranch, where he contemplates building a famous resort for invalids. There are warm springs on the ranch and the climate rivals that of Colo rado's dry nltitudes. Clark is said to have selected Vegas Valley to be the most important point on the line be tween California and Salt Lake. It is said a large hotel will be built which Clark intends to be one of the finest In the west. Railroad shops will also probably be erected tnere, as there is ple.itv of water, which is a scarcity in other sections of Nevada. Vegas Vallev in time may become a thriving town. At Good Springs, which is near the California line In Nevada, there are mineral possibilities to be developed by the new road. Trains are expected to run over the completed portion between J-os Angeles and Riverside in a short tima. To Tap the Osage Nation. Arkansas City, Kan., Aug. 29 A new line of railroad is proposed from south ern Kansas to the Osage Indian country. The Osage Railroad company, chartered at Guthrie this week, will build a spur from some point on the Katy in the Osage reservation to Pawhuska, and will continue the line to Wichita by the iEW WAY TO TREAT HAY FEVER No Stomach Dosing Just Breathe Hyomei Stops Sneezing and Smarting. Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kan sas avenue, is recommending to. his customers, as a sure cure for hay fever, JIvomel. It 1b claimed for this remedy that it tops the spasmodic paroxysms of sneezing, the smarting and running of the eyes and nose, and other acute symptoms of this disease. Many persons have been cured of hay fever by Hyomei and Its, inventors pro fess to be able to prevent both the oc currence of the annual attacks and to arrest the progress of the disease when In the most chronic form. Among those who have been cured by Hyomei are J. F. Forbes, chief dis patcher B. M. R. R., McCook. Neb., who writes: "I have never had .relief from any remedy for hay fever even temporarily, until I used Hyomei. I will always recommend it whenever occasion offers." A. Hamlin. Westford, Mass., writes: 'Hyomei cured me of hay fever in one weeks time. I consider it a duty to tell others who suffer from this dis ease. These endorsements are samples of hundreds that have been received by the manufacturers of Hyomei, but Geo. ,V. oiansfield's offer to refund the money If Hyomei does not do all that s claimed for it, is the strongest proof that can be offered as to the reliance they place upon Hyomei to cure hay way of Arkansas City, if the cities will hold forth the necessary inducements. The Osage Railroad company Is a part of the Katy system. CONNECTED. Denver and El Paso Can Now Shake Hands Over the Santa Fe Central. Denver, Aug. 29. Denver will shake hands with Kl Paso, Texas, and Santa Fe, N. M., early in September, over the completion of the Santa Fe Central rail way," which unites these sections and 110 miles of road which was opened for bus iness last week. Special trains will be run to Denver carrying the representa tive business men of El Paso and Santa Fe. The excursion will serve as an inaugu ration of the recent movement among Denver jobbers and manufacturers to bring to this city retail merchants who will patronize the Denver market in preference to that of Kansas City or other points east. The Santa Fe Central is now comple ted to Torrence, N. M., on the El Paso and Northwestern. It connects with the Denver and Rio Grande at Santa Fe. A branch connects with Albuquerque, run ning thither from Moriarlty Junction. The line is to be constructed to Rosvvell forthwith, and the southern terminus will be Big Springs. Texas, on the Tex is and Pacific. The completed system will be 400 miles in length, will connect with two Gould roads, and will be a new route from Denver to that portion of southern territory. Tickets over the new route between Denver and El Paso have been placed on sale by the Denver and Rio Grade. Arrangements for the excursion will be completed shortly by W. Robbins, general freight and passenger agent of the Santa Fe Central. It is believed that the new road will prove of immense ben efit to Denver and that the wholesalers Something About the Largest Engine The Baltimore Ohio railroad has placed an order with the Americau Lo comotive company for a tandem com pound locomotive that will be, when completed, the heaviest ever tmiit in this country. It is known as the Mallet Ar ticulated type, and modified examples are being used abroad to some extent, none, however, being of the tremendous size of the B. O. ergine. The cut shows a peculiar arrangement of the drivers and cylinders. The for ward cylinder is the high pressure, while the rear one is the low pressure, and the great power of the engine is appar ent when it is noticed that the entire weight of the locomotive, 285,000 pounds, is on the. drivers. The locomotive is being built as an ex periment, and will be used as a helping eiigine on some one of the heavy moun tain grades to demonstrate its usefulnr-ss in this class of service. It is hoped that it will be completed in time to give it a thorough road test before sending it to the St. Louis World's fair. The dimensions of the locomotive, as given below, are compared with the 1-7 class of locomotive now in use and the heaviest in use on the B. O. in regu lar freight service. GENERAL DIMENSIONS.

New towns have been started on the line of the road. Upon completion to Roswell the line will tap the Pecos valley, one of the richest agricultural sections in the west. The government is making an in vestigation for a possible reclamation project in this valley, which if finally decided upon will greatly enhance its productiveness and value. THE FRISCO EMBARGO. The Belt Line Is Still Accepting Ship ments from That Road. Kansas City, Aug. 29. The action of the Frisco in declaring a partial em bargo against the Belt Line' has been expected for some time. The embargo does not extend to the refusing of cars to the Belt, as the Frisco is giving it all the cars it can handle from them,about sixty a day. At the present time there are about 250 cars on the Frisco tracks consigned to firms on the Belt, and there is much delay in getting them transferred. The officials of the Frisco have issued no orders to e.gents to re fuse shipments for the Belt, nor will it do so. The only thing being done is to make en effort to have Belt shipments transferred some other way, and while this is causing some annoyance to bus iness houses on that line, it cannot be helped, as the Belt Line tracks are fill ed with freight of every description and it cannot handle all shipments of fered. The Milwaukee and Chicago Alton roads have cleared up in a great meas ure the blockade in their yards. The Milwaukee is in excellent shape at pres ent and has a switching engine and crew at every transfer waiting for ship ments. The Chicago Alton is work ing hard to keep the lines cleared, and deliveries are being made by this road in much quicker time than was possi ble last week. Other roads are in fair shape, and there seems to be little probability of another blockade which will be as serious as the one just ex perienced. Great Western Increase. The gross earnings of the Chicago Great Western railway (Maple Leaf route) for the third week of August, 1903, show an increase of $7,780.64 over the corresponding week of last year. Total increase from the beginning of the fiscal year, $111,336.97. Electric Car Held Up. Los Angeles, Cal.. Aug. 29. An elec tric car on the California Pacific rail road was held up near the city limits last night and the crew and five pas sengers robbed. The three armed high waymen secured about $100 and sev eral watches. Santa Fe Drilling for Water. J. F. McNally, superintendent of the Rio Grande division of the Santa Fe, arrived here this morning from El Paso. He sys that the drilling for water in the Santa Fe yards in El Paso har nrr Trct rrndr a sptifactorv show- Inc. The drillers are down more than 300 feet, but with no indications of good water as yet. The superintendent stated that the drill would be sunk to the 400-foot level in the hope of reach ing the required vein of water. Albu querque Citizen. STEAMSHIP CONNECTION. Louisville and Nashville to Run Boats from Florida to Europe. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 29. Within 30 days a line of steamers will be estab lished by the Louisville Nashville road between Pensacola, Fla., and the most important parts of southern Europe. The arrangements for the line were concluded with the Austro-Amer-ican steamship line. The ships which will be used in the service are all new. The Louisville Nashville road has for several years been engaged in busi ness to the Mediterranean and Adriatic seaports. Heretofore the service be tween those ports and Pensacola has been uncertain. PULLMAN REFORM. Reservations Are Not to Be Held Until the Train Leaves. Chicago. Aug. 29. It is announced here today that the officers of roads op erating west of Chicago are determined to inaugurate a reform in the system of reserving Pullman berths in advance. The practice of uncertain people reserv ing berths three or four days in ad vance of intended departure and then claiming and paying for them five min utes before the train leaves, or not claiming them at all. is to be stopped.

In fact, we have had it in act ual use since the coming of man tipon the earth, only indirectly. Without the sun ihera would be nothing here no men, no life. Coal is nothing but stored-up, bottled sunshine. The sun light of a million years ago produced forests, which, falling, were buried in the earth and changed into coal. So when we put coal in the cook stove we may truthfully say that we are boiling the kettle with million-year-old sun shine. Similarly there would be no wa terfalls for us to chain and convert into electricity, as we have chained Niagara, if the sun did not evaporate the water of the sea, take it up in clouds and af terward empty the clouds in rain on the mountain tops, whence the water tumbles down again to the sea. So no wind would blow without the sun to A WOMAN'S RiSK As a trapeze performer is greater than a man's. She must have a man's courage and a man's muscle to succeed.

When you go Into the woods at this season of the year to. camp, fish or even to take an afternoon's stroll, look out for bears, snakes and catamounts, but above all, look out for the rhus toxicodendron. This is neither a new name for the tramp nor yet a new form of cyclone, but the scientific name for poison ivy. the worst of America's poisonous plants. You may consider yourself Immune from poison "taking," but beware! One of the foremost stu dents of botany an expert on poison plants says that when a boy he and his brother used to delight in washing their faces and hands in the bruised leaves of poison ivy just to show ad miring companions In what contempt their held it. But in this way they gave the poison entry to their systems, and now they are affected by ivy and sumac even at a short distance. Another botanist, a professor at Cor nell university, was severely poisoned at the age of fifteen, and for thirteen consecutive years he suffered annually from a slight attack of the malady, even though he studiously avoided handling the plant at the season the attack was due. Poison ivy is readily distinguished from its harmless and or namental relatives.

The vine also bears clusters of small, sickly white berries very similar to those of its co-poisoner, the sumac. It grows profusely in densely wooded places, and it is thickest where the soil is most moist. The groups of three leaves, glossy on the upper side and downy vnderneath, together with the wild, rank growth, are the infallible marks of the poison ivy. The poison sumac ranks next in harm fulness, and though just as virulent in its poisonous qualities, the nature of its growth renders it less to be feared. It is found in the shape of a compact bush or tree from eight to twenty feet high, and, like the ivy, has a fondness fdr damp places, preferring either the banks of a wooded stream or a marsh. It may be said that the harmless varieties of sumac grow almost entirely in dry, bar ren spots and highlands, while the poi son sumac grows in the damp parts of the woods and on the marshes. The poison sumac has nine small, richly-colored leaves that narrow to sharp points, and in the midsummer it bears loosely clustered, greenish-white berries. The harmless sumach may be distinguished by the compact clusters of berries of a beautiful scarlet hue. The deadly nightshade, while not near ly so dangerous as either the sumac or the ivy, is still to be shunned, and there are legends told in England of babies and small children that sickened and died after playing among these bushes. The chief danger from the nightshade, however, is in the glossy black berries it bears a large and exceedingly lus cious looking fruit that is not unattrac tive to the palate. But they are deadly poison and two or three only have in numerous cases caused speedy death when immediate relief was not to be had. The nightshade grows in abandoned gardens, around old houses and ruins. The flower is a bell-shaped, dull purple blossom and the glossy black berry, closely resembling a "bleeding heart," is always set in a five-pointed star of leaves or petals. Water hemlock grows on the banks of streams and in marshy places, a pe culiarity common to almost all the poi sonous plants. The stem Is straight, hollow and fluted or ridged edgewise, and is generally streaked with purple. The flowers are umbelliferous, grouped in uniform clusters, each supported on a short tem branching from a common point. The danger from water hemlock lies in the thick, fleshy roots or tubers, that so closely resemble horseradish, par snip and other edible roots they are readily eaten by cattle, children and even unsuspecting adults. The poison is strongest and concentrated at the roots, and taken internally would require the immediate use of an emetic of salt or mustard and warm water. Stimulants should then be administered, (after first seeing that the stomach has been thor oughly emptied), applications of hot pads or water bags to the armpits, feet, and, what is of prime importance, the earliest possible attention of a physician. Even the water in which It grows will be poisoned by the bruising of a tuber and seriously affect anything that drinks of ie.

BaeeHE'-AND dizziime Pe-ru-na Tonic MISS CAMILLE CHARTIER, 5 West Lexington Street, Baltimore, Md., writes "Late suppers gradually affected my digestion, and made me a miserable dyspeptic, suffering intensely at times, 1 took several kinds of medicine, which wVre prescribed by different physicians, but still continued to suffer. But the trial of one bottle of Peruna convinced me that it would rid me of this trouble, so I continued taking it for several weeks, when I was in excellent health, having gained ten pounds." Camille Chartier. Miss Mayme Kearns, 1005 Dean St., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna means health, and health means happiness. To me Peruna means both. Last summer I felt unusually prostrated from the heat. My appetite and sleep failed me, and my strength seemed to ooze out with the perspiration, and I had a weak, gone feeling. "Three bottles of Peruna changed all this. I recuperated quickly and blessed sleep and rest came to me. Peruna is better than a seaside trip, better than a vacation; in fact, better than anything I know to build up the system." Miss Mayme Kearns. Peruna is just as sure to bring an ap petite as the sun is to bring the day. A good healthy appetite and good digestion of food ger .ally correct a host of ail ments. Loss of strength and loss of sleep depend in a majority of cases upon a loss of nutrition. If the appetite fails, sufficient food will not be taken. If sufficient food is not taken, the system suffers from starvation. This will sure- The stem is spotted like hemlock, the leaves grow in a curious antlered shape, and though umbelliferous It has three long, slender leaf-like strips that spring from beneath each little cluster of flowers downward. The "fool's" par sley grows in rubbish heaps out in the fields, and often springs up in a care lessly kept garden, attaining a height of two or three feet. Except its clSse re semblance to the true parsley, the.e is nothing especially attractive about the "fool's" parsley that would cause it to be eaten. Besides the "water parsnip" there are several other slightly less poisonous va rieties of hemlock, and it is a good plan to shun all umbelliferously flowered bushes and plants found wild In damp places. The common stinging nettle, although not generally classed with poisonous plants, is still the foe of mankind. It is an herbaceous plant growing to three feet in height, with lond, curled, sharp-point- I leaves, provided with countless little hairs.each terminating in a keen, brittle point, that breaks off readily and allows a small quantity of irritat ing juice to escape. If one has only the courage to grasp the nettle firmly the points can be broken without entering the skin and no inconvenience results. The United States agricultural de partment hai recently made a study of the poison plants and declares the poison of the ivy and sumac consists of a dark oil called "toxicodendrol," found in the greatest quantities at the roots. It is generally necessary to touch and handle a poison plant in order to be affected, but some people are so sus ceptible that they "take" at a distance of three up to twenty feet when the wind is blowing upon them from the plan- The toxicodendrol remains virulent until it is totally destroyed. Even the smoke from burning dried ivy and sumac has frequently poisoned persons. Being an oil it is insoluble and cannot be washed off wjth pure water. The malady produced is of an eryslpeloua nature, usually appearing at the place of contact; however, in severe cases it has been known to spread to various spots on the body where the skin is most tender. The eruptions form blis ters, and after three or four days break slowly, peel and heal up. The temptation to scratch is almost over powering. When the body is heated and perspir ing and the pores all open the poison is communicated more easily with dire re- rsults. and undoubtedly were it possible to handle the ivy or sumac in the win ter time with dry, close-pored hands, there would be little danger to most peo ple. There are very few remedies sug gested for the cure of poison, and that given by the department of agriculture is probably the most efficacious. A weak grade of alcohol, 60 or 65 per cent, hold ing in solution as mucn powdered sugar of lead as it will take, is the lotion. It should be applied with soft pads of cot ton or silk sponge frequently until the eruptions are entirely dried up and the skia begins to heal. A botanist at one of ou?' yge universities also gives the following: Hyposulphite of soda, half aft ounce; glycerine, Ciree ounces; carbolic acid, 60 drops, and water, one ounce. The sugar of lead might also be dis solved in pure cold water instead of al cohol. NorttV American. A blessing alike to young and old: Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.

ALTERNATE PAGE FOLLOWS j TOPEKA STATE JOUINAISATIJEDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1903. GIVE UPGHASE. IlcFarland Bandits Are Not Troubled by Officers. Sheriff Frfj and Kock Island Detective Quit. THEY TELL THE STORY Two Men in Refrigerator Car Kelate Experience. Think That Two of Robbers Were in Topeka. The five men who terrorized the little town of McFarland early Friday morn ing by robbing both the. Rock Island depot and eating house cloBe by, shut ting six m?n In a refrigerator car after relieving them of their valuable ajid beating two men over the head until they were almost Insensible, are still at large. The authorities In that vicinity have given up the search and It Is not likely that it will be resumed as the sheriff of Wabaunsee county and his assistants think tht the robbers are now outflide of the county. Sheriff Frey, Rock Island Detective Custy and their assistants arrived In Paxleo at about 2 o'clock Friday after noon after scouring the country lying northeast of that place in their search for the robbers. Mr. Frey and Mr. Custy stated that during the early part of the search they were able to track the holdups by the footprints in the dew on the road but when the sun came up and dried the ground the trail was lost. This was about five miles northeast of here," said Sheriff Frey to a State Journal reporter at Paxico while he w as waiting for a train which would take liim back to hiB headquarters in Alma. "According to their tracks all five o the men were together at the point where we lost the trail and It iooka to me as If they were heading towards the river. The only place, however, where they can cross without swimming is at Maple Hill nd I have notified the au thorities there to keep a sharp lookout In that vicinity. It is of no u.-ie for me to search farther in this vicinity. The timber around here is very thick mak ing a search of this kind almost a fruitless undertaking. Consequently we finally decided to give up the search. It would take not less than a hundred men to find the robbers if they were still in this vicinity, which I do not think is the case. They are heading east and if the authorities at points along the river east of here keep their eyes open I think that the robbers will be captured." Sheriff Frey returned to Alma In the nfternoon and Detective Oustv. of the Rock Island who happened to be pass ing through McFarland on his way west at the time of the robbery, resum ed his journey. The local authorities are keeping a sharp watch in hopes of discovering Ihe whereabouts of the men. Lost nisht the police thought that they hud a clu" and they probably did but, it did not pin out very well under their management. Two tramps were arrested on suspicion bur Instead of holding them until they could be seen by some of the victims of the McFarland robbery, the police tnrn-d them lose. Later In the evening W. J. Kmerton and A. J. Johnson, two of the men who were locked into Hie refrigera tor car by the robbers at McFarland af ter being roblied of what money they had, arrived in Topeka on their way to their respective homes. rjohnson lives in Rochester. N. V'.. and Emei ton's home is In Arkansas City. They are both young men and carry I. A. of M. cards, show ing that they are machinists by- trade. Until lat'ly Johnson has beeu employed In Las Vegas. When they arrived in town they were taken immediately to the police station where th"y were ask ed many ouestiims in regard to the rob bery and the part which they took in it. When told of the two tramps which the police hail liberated a short time be lore they arrived they said that thJ tramp were no doubt two of th five men who cr"ated such consternation i i IdcFarliind Friday morning. "It was dark when we saw the rob bers," said Johnson today, "and conse quently neither of us can give a detailed description "f the men who held us up but as far as I can tell the two tramps who were arretted last night answer the description of two of the men we saw under such trying conditions Friday morning. Of course they may have dif fered In some nspects and they may have put up a jjood talk but their ap pearance as desiribed by the lool police was sufficient to warrant thtir tentlon until an investigation could be made. "I F.tw two of the robbers distinctly and I tiiink that I could Identify them. One was a short farmer looking boy with a smooth face and the other was of about the same stature with a three weeks' growth of beard on his face. The description of the two tramps who were arrested last night by your police an swers to the apptaranre of the two men I have referred to. 1 think that th"V were the same men and that they with the other three men are now in the vi cinity of Toiicka." Kmerton was of the sn-.ie opinion as Johnson. Kmerton said that he did not think that the authorities were very anxious to catch the men. "All through the entire affair," said Emerton. "the police have exhibited a disposition to hold back and let the men get away. At no time have they exerted themselves in their effort to capture the robbers. The marshal at McFarland refused to follow the men when he was requested to do so, and now the sheriff of the county In which the crime was committed has given up the iob." "I w as never so scared in all my life," paid Emerton later, when he was dis cussing the details of the affair.. "I honestly believe that if either of us had resisted the men we would have received a- bullet from one of the five big revolvers with which the men were armed. They meant business, and would not have stood any fooling. After they had captured us on the porch of the eating house and had told us to 'row up our hands, which we prompt did, they marched us down the track Lhe refrigerator car and demanded n we line up. It was at this time Ir we were scared the worst, and I Mght that we were going to be shot, lead of shooting us, however, the Tjers put us in the refrigerator, ich was nearly P-S bad. Our experi ce in the car was something awful. iere was positively no way in which we could have escaped. The air In the car was very foul, and there was so lit Up of It that we could hardly get our breath. I happened to have a knife, however, which the holdups had over looked, and with this we cut a small hole In the side of the car. This lm- firoved our condition somewhat. Short y after this some one came along near th car and their attention was attract ed bjr the noise which we made. We were then liberated after we had been in the car about two hours. I never want to spend another two hours in a closed refrigerator car." "The Rock Island railroad is to blame for the robbery at McFarland," Deputy United State Marshal Frank McGrath said today. "The road Is to blame and it deserves whatever loss it has sustain ed. The railroad yards at McFarland are full of tramps all the time and no effort is made to be rid of them. The side tracks and boxcars are full of them at this time of the year and in the win ter the tramps use the empty refrigera tor cars. I recollect that 1 once went there looking for a man and found 32 men and two women in a car where they had a case of beer. They were having a great time and were not trou bled by the railroad people at all. The Rock island is the worst railroad in the country so far as the tramp nuisance is concerned. Tramps are allowed to ride on their trains and to sleep in their yards without much molestation. The trainmen reap a small harvest Oft of them for carrying them and have even been known to conceal them from being caught by officers. "I do not believe for a minute that the five highwaymen who robber McFarland followed the railroad tracks down past Paxico. Some tramps may have gone that way but it is my opinion that the ones that did the robbery scattered. They will get their booty to a place where It can safely be disposed of and divide the proceeds. It was. in many respects, a remarkable robbery. The highwaymen could not expect to get very much by it. They must have known there was noth ing at the station but a little money. and it seems to me, they took big chances on the success of their venture. It appears to me that the officers in Wabaunsee county couldn't have been very anxious to get their hands on the robbers if they gave up the chtase as re ported." Humberts in Prison. Paris, Aug. 29.

Alexander has proposed the establishment of a mutual packing house with the view of relieving the present situation of high priced meat. His scheme is patterned after that used by the co-operative elevators in the wheat country which are conducted so as to profit by the changes in price by the grain trust. He would have the local meat retailers organize a com pany for the operation fl a packing house which they would all agree to patronize so long as the packers' com bine held the price of meat at a large margin above the actual eost of pro duction. When the meat packers undertook to undersell the mutual concern and placed the wholesale price below the cost of dressing beef, all the retailers would resume purchasing from the trust. They would continue buying from the combine packers so long as they could get meat at a lower cost than they could get it themselves and would, by a previous agreement, turn into the treasury of the co-operative packing house a per cent of their profits accruing from the handling of packing house dressed beef. At all times the mutual packing house would be so conducted as to bring in a fair margin of profit from the sale of dressed beef and regular dividends would be paid to shareholders from the treasury. By this means an adequate office force "could be maintained, the markets watched closely and the wide margin of profit now received by the meat packers could be secured to the re tailers. Meat handled through the mu tual concern could be sold to the public at a price considerably lower than that of the combine packed article. "Right now,' said Alexander this morning, "the farmers are being paid $2 less for their cattle than they were a year ago, while the people are paying $2 more per hundred for meat. There is a great big margin of profit, all of which goes to the packers. They have discontinued the delivery of meat to the retailers with the view of freezing out the little fellows. It means a saving to the packers but the consumers doesn't profit by it. If the meat retailers would get together upon some such proposition and stay by it they could beat the pack ers' combine right along. "The idea of tne mutual company is not exactly original with me. It is my understanding that the co-operative grain elevators In the western part of the state work upo.i some such prin ciple as this. The farmers hold the stock in the elevator company. When repre sentatives of the grain trust are hold ing down the purchase price of wheat the co-operative elevator handles it. paying the farmer a top market price for it. When the grain trust begins pay ing higher prices to the producer, in the hope of running the co-operative elevator out of business, the elevator shuts down and the farmers sell to the trust, which is handling the grain at no nrofit or at a loss. While the farmers are selling to the grain trust, they turn in a tmall margin to the co-operative company, so as to Keep it anve, ana it is always ready to resume activity as soon as the grain trust lowers its prices."

Baseball Pitcher Waddell Now Mixing Whiskjr Sours. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 29. Geo. Ed ward Waddell, baseball pitcher, actor and bartender, found time this morn ing midst his manifold duties in Camden to comment on the ingratitude of man agers and the hard lot of star twirlers. Waddell was busily engaged in tending bar In a saloon In the New Jersey town. "I don't know," the Rube said, "whether I am released outright or am suspended and I don't care. I like It here in Camden, everybody treats me right and if I am suspended I will stay here and pitch the season cut for Man ager Black's team. Why say, I got a bunch of offers that would make Connie sick if he saw them. Here comes a messenger boy with another one. That's the way they have been coming the past forty-eight hours." The telegram was from the manager of the team at Ke nosha, Wis., and read: "Come at once. Name your own terms. Finish the sea son out and then go in business here." Among the crowd in the saloon were two independent managers and an emis sary of George Sailings, the manager of the Buffalo eastern league team, bidding for Waddell's services. The latter offer caught Waddell's fancy. He said "If re leased by Mack I think I'll go there. Buffalo is a nice town and near Niag ara Falls, and I could have a good time at the latter place." FOR PUKE MILK. Talk of an Ordinanca to Provide Against Preservatives. Councilmen C. V. Wolf and Luther M. Nellis are each thinking over the terms of an ordinance, the purpose of which will be to stop the use of "preservatives" m milk by Topeka. milkmen. The recent ex posure of the methods of local milk de pots which use formaldehyde and other compounds in milk by tests made by Pro fessor C. E. Gray, an assistant chemist of the United States department of agri culture, in Topeka, Is principally respon sible for the proposal of these councilmen to take the matter of milk adulteration up officially. Councilman Nellis stated today that he was vnder the impression that the use of preservatives in milk had been tested in a case brought in the Kansas supreme court, where it was upheld. He said that if that were not really the case he in tended to submit an ordinance prohibiting it to the council and to try to secure its passage. Obituary. Daisy Samson Stotts was born in Cresco, Iowa, in 1871. came with her parents to Topeka eight years later, was married to Eugene B. Stotts of Garden City in 1897 and died from the effects of uraemic poison on the fath inst. She was a member of the Metho dist Episcopal church and of the Jun ior Atlanteans. The Rev. Dr. Embree, her pastor for many years and who officiated at her marriage, conducted the funeral services. All who knew Mrs. Stotts bear cheer ful testimony to the worth of her char acter. She was a quiet woman who gathered about her a large circle of friends won by the sincerity of her every day 1 fe, who said little about Christianity but did much to exemplify its true spirit, who lived in sympathy with the poor and gave herself to deeds of generosity and usefulness, the pride and the light of net home.'

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29,1903. 11017 TIIEY FEEL. Talks With Korth Topeka Ieo pie. Not All FaTor Giring Kailway -v3 Bridge. ENTITLED TO SERVICE. Do Not Understand Discriml uation of CItj Kailwaj. Ko Effort Made to Accommodate the People. Sentiment fn North Topeka regarding the granting of a franchise by the city council allowing the City Railway com pany is divided. By no means all of the citizens are in favor of the concession. Borne people, made desperate by the dilatory actions of the railway com pany, favor allowing the company to use the bridge temporarily even at the expense of damaging the structure and It is not surprising when it is known that North Topeka Is practically with out street car service. One car runs from the north end of the bridge for four blocks. The four blocks amount to nothing. The company makes no effort to furnish transportation across thJ bridge. Last year when the car bridge was damaged by high water and this year before the bridge was carried out the old street car company operated a tus between the north and south car lines and a fairly good service was maintained. Now no effort whatever is made toward r.ccommodating the peo ple. F. Kimball said: "There is not one person in five in North Topeka who fa vor having the tracks of the city railway on the Mi.lan bridge. Some favored a light track and light cars and traffic on the Kansas avenue bridge with the council to regulate the traflic and speed but in the last week a sentiment against even that form of street car traffic on the bridge has become manifest. Per sonally I understand our councilmen from the North side to be opposed to allowing the street cars on the bridge. 1'he street car company is trying to force us to favor the use of the bridg for the cars. At the meeting held in North Topeka Monday night the state ment was made that the street car com jany is not asking lor a franchise across the bridge but that if the people wanted the tracks on the bridge the company would lay them if permission was given. Now Mr. Doran, the attorney for tlv; (ompany, makes a statement in which he says the street car company w:ll fight the injunction and spend money to secure the right to the bridge. "K. F. Tennant says that the people In the northwest part of North Topeka are opposed to the street car tracks being laid on the bridge. T. M. Hanley does not favor it. I fear that people will move away If the trrcks are allowed on the bridse. I will do that myself and move my home and my business to the south side of the river if the tracks are placed on the bridge and the structure is ruined for wagon and traffic. Only a few men in North Topeka are agitating the placing cf the tracks on the bridge. I favored it until I saw that the street car company wanted the whole thing with no restrictions. We depend upon the help of the councilmen from the eouth side of the river to keep the tracks jff the bridge. They can prevent the outrage. "The street car company asked for the use of the bridge, first for one year, and then asked for the use of the bridge for two vears. and ninety days In which to remove the tracks after that. That is a strange way of chang ing. The company tore up the track pn Kansas avenue to Garfield park, and I believe forfeited the charter. They want the use of the bridge with no ex pense to tbem, and while North Topeka Ik being rebuilt make a great incon llrenience to use. "The company is not trying to give Us a good service. I waited one night lit the south end of the bridge 40 min utes for a car, and another night wait ed 30 minutes and then walked and reached 922 Polk street before the car. tThe company is making this incon- ALWAYS Save the Bands 4pdle Creole Mm vl mm w filILD venlence for the purpose of forcing the people of North Topeka to agree to the Inconvenience of the tracks on the brldjre." H. M. Clime is opposed to having the street car tracks on the bridge. He thinks the bridge would be damaged and the tracks would be a treat incon venience. W. M. Clime said: "We need a street car service and the street car company is trying to force the Issue by the mis erable service. Even a bus transfer across the bridge would help matters grativ." Ed Arnold said: "We want a street car service In North Topeka from the south side and I favor allowing the street car company to cross the bridge after a heavy bond is given that the company will move the tracks to their own bridge, say in 18 months. We want good service, and we need it." PtKer Smith, of the Citizens' bank, said: "We have been practically against the proposition to lay tracks on the bridge and ag;iinst the proposi tion offered by the company. While we want street car connection with the south fide. North Topeka does not want it at the cost of detriment to the Melan bridge. The bridge now has not sufficient capacity to carry the traffic properly. It was built for wagons and pedestrians, and we do not want the stret cur company to take it. If the company would put up a cash bond equivalent to the cost of a bridge for the street cars, say 130,000 or J40.0OO I would eay give the company about' a year's use of the brida-e if r ar. v.. done without injury to the bridge and can be carried out with safety I would favor this if the street cars will not Jar or wreck the bridge, but we are ?n,neer and can not tell what will be the effect. The malority faJrmers a"d townspeople on the tr. X a against the proposition the "told,?? Car comeany to use F. Elmore, of the Shawr,o c.i. bank, sail: "I think it would be proper to allow the street car company to put tracks on the bridge and use it for a year and a half but I would not favor giving the comDanv unlimit ed time. The company should give a good bond to protect the city and the unuge ana 10 assure the removal of the tracks." Thomas Page is anxious for car line to North Topeka and favors allowing the street car company the use of the Melan bridge for a suitable lengtn or time. J. P.. Billard said: "I very reluctant ly consent to the street car company using the bridge. It is not a matter of choice but a matter of necessity. The street car company has North Topeka at its mercy and we are now doing practically without a car line. If the company would build the line to Gar field park and run two cars In North Topeka we could get along very well with walking across the bridge. The company promised to rebuild the line to the park first. The officers made me a promise that the North Topeka line would be the first line to be rebuilt. Now the company has abandoned that line and is doing nothing. It Is an outrage the way the company has treated North Topeka. Unless com pelled to grant the company somethings I would feel like granting nothing and would rather see the company kicked out of town. The company feels that it has North Topeka under Its control. The compai y really says, 'We have got you and if you want anything work for it.' Oscar Krauss said: "We don't want the street car tracks on the bridge and T don't believe the bridge would stand the traffic. Any other company would have a bridge of their own built in a few months. The company wants this town tn give them everything for noth ing. The farmers are opposed to hav ing the tracks on the bridge. I don't want to see the bridge ruined." Y. M. C. A. BRANCHES OUT. Night School Is Enlarged and Im proved. The Topeka T. M. C. A. Is about to open its winter night school classes for young men and, on September 14 will hold entrance examinations for those who desire to take up work in the elec trical and mechanical engineering courses that are to be instituted this year. These courses have been previous ly announced and the association has found promise of a large attendance at the classes. As both lead to graduation into remunerative professions and thoroughness of instruction is very im portant the Y. M. C. A. has gone to con siderable pains in having the outlines for the study carefully drawn. Frank Maunsell of the Edison Electric company prepared the two courses, which have since been submitted to and approved by Prof. B. F. Eyer of the Manhattan Agricultural college and Francis Frost, chief electrician of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad. The Instructors for the winter will be Mr. Maunsell, F. H. Benton of the Santa Fe and Edgar Winans. This term will continue eight months, five nights a week being devoted to It. It is expected to follow it up during the succeeding winter with advanced courses. The sub jects covered in the courses are mathe matics, which will be taught on Monday evening; mechanics, Tuesday evening; construction and drawing, Wednesday evening; electricity, Thursday evening; steam, Friday evening. Entrance fees will be charged for the two courses; $25 for the mechanical en gineering, and $30 for the electrical. Op tional courses will be allowed for stud ents who do not care to take all the work, $15 being charged for instruction in a single study and $20 for two. The regular educational courses of study will not begin until October 15. the usual time. They will be much the same as in former years. TRUE AMERICANS.

Senator C. F. Hurrel, who Is supposed to be slated in the Judgeship in the Jackson-Jefferson district by the grace of Governor Bailey, but who is some what worried by the fact that A. E. Crane has recently applied for the same Job, was down from Holton and called on Governor Bailey Friday afternoon. "I came down to look up some mat ters in the state library," he explained? "and of course I went in to pay my respects to the governor." John Wagner denies the story that he has any hankering to run for congress again on the fusion ticket in the First district. He says he has had enough or politics. He has sold his possessions in Leavenworth county and about the mid dle of October will become the cashier of a new bank at Paola to be organized by John W. BreidenthaL The Atchison Globe states posi tively that A. J. White of that county, Is an anti-Curtis candidate for congress and Is not running in the In terest of Mr. Curtis. Former Chief Justice Doster, who Is now general attorney for the Missouri Pacific, has refused the request of the coal operators and miners in Southeast ern Kansas to act as arbiter in settling their differences on the ground that he has not the time to study the conditions as would be necessary for a satisfactory adjudication of the trouble. Judge Dos ter arbitrated some differences for the same parties a year ago and they re quested him to do so again this year. In an interview in Kansas city yes terday Judge Doster says he is no longer posted in politics. "I am not in poli tics any more and am not posted on po litical matters," he said. "If the Pop ulists have a party In Kansas I will probably be in, it. I do not look for continuea prosper ity." he continued. "In fact, it will not last long. The present alleged good times are due to what the Populists al ways declared for expansion of the cur rency. The good times will pass and the peonle will be confronted with some rrc'.lcms that will not be held down. In fact, the best that is now uppermost In the thoughts of the statesmen Is tak en from the creed of the Populist party as enunciated in Kansas in the days when Kansas was going Populist. They are principles that will prevail after the others have been tried to the regret of the people." A dispatch from Vinita. I. T., con tains the following about the connection of Pliny Soper, United States district attorney, formerly of Topeka, with the alleged Indian land frauds in the terri tory: "Soper Is expected daily to receive from Attorney General Knox a state ment of the charge filed against him by S. N. Brosius, special agent of the Indian Rights association. When Brosius was here he failed to meet Soper, although Soper alleges that he was ready and wil ling to give Brosius any Information In Ms possession and believes that he could have saved Brosius much unnec essary work upon the theory that the Tribal Land and Investment company is dealing In Choctaw and Chickasaw lands. Soper's friends are unable to see why he should be criticised with any more rPson than if the lands were in Ohio. They contend that as a district attorney in the Cherokee nation he had no official connection with the Choctaw Chickasaw district. It is alleged that Soper owned only $50 -worth of stock in that company. Friends advised him to withdraw from the company, which he did about August 6. Soper feels that a man is not always lucky in having an uncle. He is the nephew of Cyrus Ice land of Kansas and believes that much of the 'roastlnf he has received in cer tain newspapers having a circulation in Kansas is due to an attempt to cripple Leland in Washington and elsewhere by showing their kinship and leaving the impression that Leland Is sron8er for his nephew. Soper declares that neither his appointment as assistant United States district attorney in Kansas nor as district attorney in Indian Territory was caused by Leland." Schools of Thomas County. Colby.

Howard in re gard to alfalfa growing on the new farm that was placed on top of his old farm is not favorable. He sowed it to alfalfa in hopes that it would, grow and do well till the roots could reach the old soil down below. They would have to go down a foot on an average. It came up in fine shape and looked well. It soon showed that the soil was not fitting to the alfalfa as it commenced to die and Is nearly all dead now, causing a loss of forty dollars in seed besides the labor. All he has left Is the Information that It will not grow alfalfa for the first crop although the Cottonwood and willow has grown flnely.maklng a growth, on an average, of two feet from the seed since tne flood. Like a true Kansan he has not given up yet and will try a different crop to devekrp this new soil. Alfalfa sown on usual soil is doing nicely. Lightning: Strikes a Court House. Hazard, Ky., Aug. 29.

r 6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1903. HE BLAMES KELLY Chairman Albangh of Republi can Committee Heard From. Places Increaned Taxes at Door of State Treasurer. LEGISLATURE UPHELD Sajs That Appropriations Did Mot Require Increase. There Will Be a Half Million More Than Needed. This Will lie Under Control of State Treasurer. Morton Albaugh, chairman of the Re publican state central committee, charges that State Treasurer Kelly has laid plan to collect $500,000 in stute taxes more than is necessary to run the state government during: the com ing year. He makes this charge in re ply to Mr. Kelly's allegation that the excessive tax levy and the great rajse made in the assessed valuation in some counties in the state was necessitated by the large appropriations made by the recent legislature. Mr. Albaugh, as chairman of the Re publican state central committee, conies to the defense of the legislature, as the legislature was strictly Republican and it will have to be defended by the Re publicans. His charges place Mr. Kelly in a very bad light and will be as diffi cult of exDlanation as the charges made against Mr. Kelly in Miami county last fall. In brief, Mr. Al baugh charges Mr. Kelly with increas ing the state tax levy and the assessed valuations in many counties in order to raise a half million dollars more state taxes than will be required to Dav the appropriations made by the legislature, and then Mr. Kelly attempts to saddle the blame for the raise on to the lefcis latura. This may furnish a key to the fact that Mr. Kelly put up such a strenuous right in the legislature last winter against the now famous 'FVancis amendment," which provided that stale taxes should be left in the county treasuries except as called for by ttie state auditor at the first of each month to run the state during that month, which would give the various counties the interest on this money instead of giving it all to the state treasurer. Mr. Kelly also put up Just as vigorous a light against the Uoebel bill, providing that the executive council should de posit the state funds in approved banks and that the interest should go to the state. Both of these measures were killed in the state senate, and some of those who voted against these meas ures said they did so because they "did not believe in Interfering with the per quisites of the state treasurer." Mr. Kelly gave out a prepared state ment on August 1 stating that the ap propriations of the Hsislature for 1904 were $2,378.28.70. Yet to pay this amount state taxes amounting to $2 -4i.838 has been levied by Mr. Kelly and Ms associates, in addition to the states revenues from other sources by Mr. Kelly s own figures. .nlntJt.n"i5!t b rernHipered tha' from $.,o0.000 to $-(.,0,000 of the appropriations are unexpended each year but sue turn, d back into the state treasury, and this amount should be deducted from the to tal appropriations in figuring on rhe amount which it is necessary to raise by taxation. Another thing, and Mr. Al baugh does not mention this, of the an imations made last winter $150,000 was for the revolving fund at the peniten tiary binding twine plant. This was raised four years ago and is already in the fund. All that was necessary was to reappropriate It, so that it does not have to be raised by this year's taxes Another item not mentioned by Mr Al baugh is that $5,000 appropriated for the militia is paid by the national govern ment and not by state taxes, and th's too should be deducted from the amount to be raised by this year's tax lev" These two appropriations, $175,000 ami toe amount which will probably be turned back into the state treasury $400,000, make a total of $373,000 whic.i should be deducted from the appropria tions. Then the fees which the state derives from various sources amount to at least $250,000, and these go into the general revenue fund to pav the tat's expenses. Then there was in the treas ury on June .10. 1903, $339,813.91, and' all of these should be deducted from the to tal appropriations in order to find the amount which ought to be raided to p-iy the state's expenses during the fiscal year 1904. This .would give the following table: Turned back to treasury 400 000 00 Twine plant revolving fund.. 150 000 ro Militia fund from national government 25.000.00 fctate fees 250,000.00 uaiuuce in treasury June 20, last 339,815.91 Total $1,164,815.91 Deducting this total from the tntnl ;in. propriations made by the Hst legisla ture for 1904, which, according to Mr. Kelly's figures, amount to $2,378,228.70 leaves a balance to be raised by taxa tion of $1,213,412.79. Of course it would not be best to fig ure too closely and plan to raise just barely enough to run the state through the year, but allowing a margin of $400,000 for any shortages and to have a email balance at the beginning of anoth er year, which is certainly enough, it is still evident that Mr. Kelly's tax levy will raise more than $soo,000 more than necessary to pay the state's expenses. Mr. Kelly ingeniously says that the appropriations for 1904 are a half mil lion dollars in excess of those for 1'U but he does not explain that th, last legislature had to appropriate $tn 901 It for the latter part of 1903, and that this amount was paid out of the 1903 taxes In addition to the $1,840,627 appropriate! for 1903 two years ago. making a total "of $2,443,536.54 paid with last year's levy, and still a balance of over $200,000 was left in the state treasury. This year with total appropriations amounting to $2,378,228.70, including the revolving fund and militia appropriations. Mr. Kelly in creased the state tax levy from 5 5-10 mills as It was last year, to 6 4-10 mills for the coming year, and in addition in creased the assessed valuation 25 mil lion dollars. Mr. Albaugh's statement goes Into these figures v.ith careful detail. It is as follows: MU. ALBAUGH'S STATEMENT. "I care nothing about the statement Of State Treasurer Kelly that he de creased the valuation in his own coun ty, in order to strengthen himself polit ically there, but the late legislature was Hepublicaa in both branches and it Incomes Important to the Republicans of the state to know whether the legis lature of 1903 was profligate with the people's money and whether that body or some one else is to blame for the increased burden of taxation, that has been laid upon the people; Mr. Kelly, In repeated newsrjaDer interviews and in private conversption, has contended that the late legislature appropriated three-fourths of a million dollars more than any previous legislature and in the Topeka Capital of August 20, 1903, he states that for 1904 alone, one-half million dollars more had been appro priated than for the preceding year. In the Topeka Capital, under date of Au gust 1, 1903, Mr. Kelly furnished a pre pared statement, in which he shows that the legislature of 1903 made ap propriations as follows: For 1903, that is. appropria tions to be expended before July 1, 1903. in addition to those that were made by the legislature of 1901 for 1903 602,909.54 For 1904 2.378,228.70 For 1905 2,224,098.00 Total appropriations made by the legislature of 1903 $5,204,236.24 As compared with these appropria tions, it will be found that the legis lature of 1901 made appropriations as follows: To be expended before July 1, 1901, (and which appro priations exactly corre spond with that appropri ated in 1903, to be expended before July 1, 1903 692,222.19 For 1902 (as will be shown on pages 113 and 114 of the 13th biennial report of state auditor's office) 2,624,905.96 For 1903 1,840,627.00 Total appropriations by 1901 legislature $5,157,755.15 Total increase In appropri ations by 1903 legislature over those by 1901 leg islature 46,481.09 To put it in another form: The total appropriations for 1901, that is, those made by the legislature of 1899, for 1901, to be expended be fore July 1, 1901, were, as is shown on pages 13-14 of the 13th biennial report of the auditor's office $2,639,859.66 The total appropriations for the year 1902, as shown on pages 113-114 of the same report, were $2,624,905.96 The total appropriations for 1903, that is, those made by the legislature of 1901 for 1903. added to those made by the legislature of 1903, to be expended before July 1. 1903. as shown by the state auditor's books, were. $2,443,536.54 The total appropriations for 1904, as shown by Mr. Kelly in a furnished statement to the Topeka Capitl and published n trrnt paper on August 1 of this year, were. $2,378,228.70 The total appropriations made by the legislature of 1903 for 1905, were $2,224,098.00 "The following will show balances in he state treasurer's office at the close of business on June 30 for three years past: June 30, 1901 $162,473.00 June 30. 1902 281.001.04 June 30, 1903 339.S15.91 "With a balance in the state treasury on June 30. 1901, of $162,473 and with a 5-5-10 mill levy on a total assessment of $363,136,045. upon which $1,997,304 in taxes could be raised, this amount in addition to the fees required by law, to be turned in to the state treasury, proved ample to care for all the ex pended part of the appropriations made for 1S01 and on June 30. 1902, left a bala ice, as shown above of $281, 001.04. in the treasury. With this $281.. 001.04 to tart with, on July 1, 1902, with a valution for that year of $363. 163.630 and a levy of 5-5-10 mills, which would raise $1,997,354 and with the fees above referred to, the state treasurer in 1903 was able to get along all right and wind up by paying all the ex pended part of the appropriations of the year and wind up on June 30, 1903. with his balance again increased, this time aggregating $339,815.91. "These things were accomplished with thes? levies upon appropriations in 1901 of $2,639,859.66. In 1902 of $2,624, 905.96 and in 1903 with appropriations of $2,443,536.54, and yet Mr. Kelly would insist that in 1904, with total appro priations, aggregating $2,378,228.70, much less than in either 1901, 1902 or 1903, that it is necessary to make a levy of 6-4-10 mills upon a total valu ation of $388,724,480, which will raise in direct taxes alone $2,487,838, or $6,9.940 more than was provided for in 1901, $490,534 more than was provided for in 1902 and $490.44 more than was pro vided for in 1903. "In his statement in the Topeka Cap ital, under date of August 1, Mr. Kelly states, that 'the appropriations made by the last legislature are the heaviest known, th? total for the year of 1904 be ing $2,378,228.70. To this must be added the extra expenditure for the year 1903, amounting to $602,909.54.' This is mis leading in the extreme, as this $602, 909.54 is a part of the appropriations for 1903 and was expended before July 1 1903. at which time the state treas urer had left in his hands $339,S15.91. If Mr Kelly's method of figuring should be adopted, the $692,223.19 appropriated by the 1901 legislature for 1901 would have to be added to the total appro priations for 1902. rather than 1901. as we have done and would make the ag gregate for 1902, $3,317,129.15, as against the $2,981,1:14.24, which Mr. Kelly in sists must be provided for in 1904. "In short, with $2,378,228.70 to be raised for 1904. with the certainty that the fees actually paid in to the slate treasury from different sources, will take care of between $250,000 and $300. 000 of this, with the knowledge that in 1901 $412,005.02 of the appropriations made were not expended, that in 1902 $366,312.35 were not expended and that in no year in the past in the state's history has anything like the full amount of the appropriations been ex pended, Mr. Kelly has provided for the raising by direct taxation of $2,487,838, which is at the lowest possible estimate $500,000 more than will be needed to take care of the appropriations made." "To be explicit, the following is a fair financial statement for the fiscal year beginning July 1. 1903. and ending July 1. 1904. Balance cash in hands state treasurer. July 1, 1903 $339815.91 Amount haired by 6-4-10 mill levy on valuation of $388,724,- 480 2,487,828.00 Amount paid to state treas urer as fees from different state denartments and state institutions, based upon pay ments made in 1902 of 298,727.38 3,126,381.29 Amount appropriated by leg islature for fiscal years, islature for fiscal years, com mencing July 1. 1903, and ending July 1. 1904 $2,378,228,-70 Balance in the hands state treasurer July 1, 1904 748,152.59 3,126,381.29 "This estimate is based upon the the ory that the taxes will be collected in full and the appropriations all expend ed, when the experience of the past four years has been that the unexoended appropriations have averaged over three times the amount of uncollected taxes and if the same should be true for the ensuing year, the amount in the hands of tne state treasurer on Julv 1. 1903. would be increased by at least $200,- (ww oo over the above estimate. POLIGEJOTTINGS. Jointists Get Their Share of Attention. Two Places Itaided Three Times in Afternoon. ONE SAYS HE QUITS. James Sheasley Announces That He Has "Retired." Even the "Non Intox" Bever age to Be Eschewed. Yesterday was field day for jointlsts. They got theirs, and repeat. The police would pinch them for maintaining a nuisance awhile, and then pinch them again for violating- the new ordinance concerning screens in the front of bil liard halls. Mike Thompson and James Sheasley were each pinched three times during the afternoon and fore part of the evening. Several raids were made on the North side. The police called on Joe Allen and knocked on his door with a hammer. The door got out of the wav and let them in. They found no booze, but arrested Joe just because he was little and they could. They also called on Mr. Frank Lawson. When they got in it was evident at a glance that Mr. Lawson was not at home. A man who wore a startled ex pression and the garb of a toiler was there keeping watch over a fast dying keg of beer, which was bleeding from a wound caused by the sudden removal f IT WAS THE JOINTISTS' FIKLD DAY. of a pump. They brought the farmer over, and he told hir story. What a funny story. Ach. such a foolishness. He was from the jungles. He called at the place to get a glass of beer. The bartender was about to draw it from a keg when a little bell concealed somewhere about the place went ting- a-ling. At the signal the bartender hastily jerked the pump from the keg THEY ARE EASILY FRIGHTENED. and flew through the ceiling. At the same time the yokel heard a loud noise at the door, and a request for admit tance. He was dazed by the sudden ness of it all, but opened the door and was grabbed by bluecoats. His story was so good that the chief let him go. James Sheasley is tired of being pinched every fifteen minutes. There fore he will cease to distribute malt ale and non-intox in the rear of the Na tional billiard hall. He is done. He has been arrested more than a deutzen times within a few weeks, and it be comes to him a chestnut. All the best thirst parlors of our one fo4r-to-mid-dling city are making assignments. Sad. Kow sad. The police do not desire to see Alice Moore any more. Sweet Alice is a dope fiend. Recently she was chased out of Kansas City afld given a ticket to To peka, the dumping ground for all ad jacent cities. The Topeka police hastily got her a through ticket back to Kan sas City with no stop-overs allowed. Maybe Kansas City will enter into the spirit of the game and continue to play ping pong with Alice. As the game now stands it is fifteen all. Bessie 'Williams was arrested last night for street walking and fined 25 plunks this morning. It would have been much cheaper for this colored wo man to have walked the trolley wire. Or. better still, why not be good a little while and surout a pair of wings? Glass Workers Strike. New York.

Constantinople" and attribute to that feeling the mistake made in deciphering the Beirut dispatch. AMERICAN LIVES IN PERIL. Minister Leischman Regards Situ ation, as Serious. Oyster Bay, L. I., Aug. 29. It has developed that the cablegram from Minister Leischman from Constanti nople transmitted late Friday night to President Roosevelt contained in addi tion to a statement of the incorrectness of the announced assassination of Vice Consul Magelssen at Beirut, an impor tant report upon the situation in the Ottoman empire. Minister Leischman takes a serious view of the condition of affairs in Turkey. Practically the entire domain of the sultan is in a state of unrest and in some parts the existing turbulence is equivalent to in surrection. Minister Leischman apprehends se rious trouble and indicates his belief that American interests and American lives are in peril on account of the fanaticism of the Mussulman popula tion. The minister's report confirmed information received by President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay from un official sources. For these reasons it was decided by the president that Ad miral Cotton's squadron should pro ceed to Turkish waters in accordance with his original orders, notwithstand ing the inaccuracy of the report of the assault on Consul Magelssen. In any event that was regarded by this gov ernment only as an incident. The fact that the assault upon the consul was not attended by a fatal result simply modifies the action of the United States by removing one serious phase of a sit uation that otherwise may become in tolerable very soon. It has not been decided definitely whether or not Admiral Cotton's squad ron will rendezvous at Beirut as orig inally ordered. The destination of the vessels will be determined by the de velopment of the Turkish situation. WHIPPED THREE MEN. Magelssen Was Attacked Ones Before and Robbed. Chicago, Aug. 29. A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Joliet. 111., says: Miss Alice Barber, who was a mis sionary for 18 years at Beirut and is well acquainted with Vice Consul Magelssen, is at present visiting her parents in this city. The present difficulty she attrib utes to the lower classes, the outlaws and footpads, who infest that city and make it exceedingly dangerous for for eigners especially at all times.. "About two years ago," said Miss Barber, "an attack was made upon Mr. Magelssen while he was on his way from the cape, where the American college is located to the main part of the city. Three men sprang from a thicket, knocked him down and took his watch and chain. He was a young man of powerful build and was formerly a foot ball player. As soon as he recovered from his surprise, he attacked his assail ants, recovered his watch and gave all three of the robbers a. severe beating. "Quite a commotion was raised at the time and the college instructor appealed to the local authorities for better pro tection. As a result a police station was established near there and a detail of soldiers stationed in that locality. In spite of this it became more dangerous for the instructors and none of them ventured out at night unless they were armed with stout walking sticks." News of Warships Genoa, Aug. 29. The Brooklyn and San Francisco arrived here today and are being fully equipped to leave here Sunday morning. Schrinopski Is Defiant. The Topeka retail clerks are not fool ishly fond of Mr. S. Schrinopski, who sells clothes at 420 Kansas avenue. They wanted him to join several other of the smaller clothing houses who have recently come into the fold and agreed to close at 6 o'clock sharp, ac cording to the rules of the clerks' union. They labored with Mr. Schrin opski, to no advantage. He positively refused to shut up shop according to union rules. Last night a delegation of them went down and stood in front of the Schrinopski establishment. Whenever a prospective customer came along they would tell him how much more he could get for his money by waiting until morning and going to another store. They also handed a few remarks to Mr. Schrinopski whenever he came to the door. He still maintains that he will keep open just as late as he wants to. VIN-SENG Mr. R. L. Nesbaum, Traveling Agent for the Mutual Life Insur ance Co. of New York, writes an encouraging letter. "To the General Public: I wish to state that I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble for many years.

One bottle of it did me a world of good, and after using only three bottles I have been altogether relieved of any distress of my stomach. I always keep a bottle with me on the road, and find that I am gaining much in flesh. I have no hesitancy in recommending it. R. L. Nesbaum.

Ad vances of point in Tennessee Coal and Republic Steel preferred were the largest changes. The demand for stock3 was too scant to support prices and there was a slight easing off all around. Union Pacific Atch ison and Amalgamated Copper absorbed the most of the limited dealings and also showed the widest price movements. There was light professional selling on an early imrej?ion that the bank state ment would not be as good as foretold and a slight hardening when this impres sion was confirmed -by the small cash in crease and the considerable loan increase shown by the statement. Prices rose fractionally over last night in some cases. Tennessee Coal trained a point. The whole movement was insigniflcant.Among the specialties Atcmson preierrea. uu luth.

TOPEKA STATE JOUKISTAL, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1903. THEATRICAL HEWS Crawford's Sunday Attraction Will Bo "The Volunteer." Cora Tan Tassell Will Appear as the Star. THREE STOCK NIGHTS. Earl and Martell's Company Opens Tuesday. News of the Plays and Players In General. The Sunday night attraction at the Crawford will be "The Volunteer," a four-act romantic military drama. In which Cora 'Van Tassell occupies the tellar role. The play Is laid In the south during the civil war. Patriotism, refined and interesting comedy, an abundance of heart interest, plenty of action and strongly drawn characters combine to make "The Volunteer" successful. The play being of the hoop-skirt pe riod, the stage will produce a novel and Interesting appearance, as the costumes u ha i-f thA norinri find tllKtar- ically correct. During the second act a novelty Is Introduced which is both sensational and surprising. A full sized regulation war balloon is seen to rise on Us night and in the course of a tour through the clouds is seen to en counter a raging storm, passing through different elements of hail, ertow and rain. Mis Van Tassell is surrounded by a capable company, it is claimed, includ ing many well known people. The pro duction is a heavy one. The company carries its own special scenery, camp equipment, artillery and horses. Of its recent engagement nt the Crawford, St. Louis, the liepubllc said in part: 'The Volunteer' is a romantic military drama by Henry Guy Carleton. As presented by Miss Van Tassell it is infinitely better entertainment than hurly-burly farce or noisy melodrama. While not new, the piece is well writ ten, and, above all, it Is logical. Miss Van Tassell plays Pansy Chsdburn, a merry hoyden in love with a young army officer. Mr. Atkinson is the sol dier. There are four acts, in which is outlined some stirring incidents of the civil war. A neat scenic effect is pro duced at the close of the second act, when a vista among the clouds, as seen from a war balloon. Is shown.". Next Tuesday night will mark the first appearance in this city of Karl and Martell's American Stock company.They come here direct from their long sum mer season engagement at Sioux City, Iowa. The engagement is for three nights, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day. The following roster makes up the company: H. H. Earl. Oliver Martell, Wm. Dowlan, Chas. r.

As time passes the news relative to the automoboile mishap of Lillian Russell and Blanche Bates is becoming more ac curate, and it now appears that, far from being an exaggeratedl story, Miss Itussell was much more seriously hurt than at first Imagined. Heretofore all stories of the mishap agreed that Miss Russell in a miraculous manner escaped injury, but this, it seems, was not the case. She had her left shoulder disloca ted and her right arm so badly bruised that it has since been kept in splints. Her neck and both shoulders were bad ly cut, and that she was iot disfigured for life was due to the fact that she wore a hat very much like a poke bon net. As she struck the ground head foiemost the peak of her hat was bent over her face, and thus saved it from all injury. Curiously enough. Miss Rus sell, who has been an ardent adherent ot Christian Science, cried aloud and ve hemently for a surgeon as soon as she could get her breath. Miss Bates, who went to her rescue, had found her pinn ed under the heavy car in a manner that led her to believe that she was being crushed to death. With the assistance of the chauffeur and a passing postman Miss Bates succeeded in raising the car, so that Miss Russell could grope her way out. When, half an hour later, six men tried to lift the car, they were un able to move it. According to Marshall P. Wilder, he has a niece who is a bright little lasRle. The first time she attended Sunday school the boys and girls sang, lustily, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," and "Pass Along the Watchword." On her return, being asked what had been done at Sun day school, she said: "Oh, they sang." "Well, what did they sing, dear?" 'Honorable Christian Soldiers' and 'Pass Around the Washrag.' Marshall P. Wilder has a rather unique manner of telling the story of his life. First he blushlngly admits that he is 43 dust 20 years the senior of Sophie JMmnmm wllwr Cornell Hanks, the beautiful girl whom he recently led to the altar. "I was born nine years after Bill Nye," he says, "in trie state of New York. At 1 year I made a kick, and my father moved me from out of the state Into the city of New York. Being a physician, my father later took me to Hartford for my health. "On returning to New York city I found myself without means. So for some time I buried myself in Brad street's agency as a file boy at t2 per week. I mixed so many jokes with my work that the letters didn't read as ser iously as they should about such a sci ence as finance. So I went to England, where they know a joke when they see it. Well, I waited in London for things to come my way. "Things came in a walk, while the $20 I had kept going at a trot. I found that living in a small bedroom made me narrow-minded, so I stayed out In the park several nights to give myself room, as well as to air my repertory. Then I be gan a series of free entertainments and became so popular that it wasn't long before I was taking three cups of coffee a day instead of one. "Among those who took advantage of the cheap prices was the Prince of Wales, since King Edward VIL It cost him nothing to laugh, so he laughed. Several persons wanted to know what he was laughing about. He said sim ply, That I had told a Joke about mother-in-law which struck the lost chord in the prince's heart and woke up at the Crawford in The Volunteer. a responsive, sympathetic pang. Ever since then I have been charging all I could get for my. services." COMPANIES REHEARSING. Actors Are Busy in New York Pre paring- for Tours. Up in Saratoga a few days ago John W. Gates said the theatrical glory of the resort had almost disappeared. He has seen only one footlight favorite in the three weeks he had been there and she apparently had interest only in her sedate chaperon and a little red terrier that had been tagging behind the heels of "Freddie" Gebhard in city and coun try all summer. Last year the Chicago plunger ad mired the enthusiasm with which a big colony of players plunged into the whirl of festivities at the famous spa. He made friends of most of them and had looked forward to meeting them this year. Wily, then, he wondered, had Saratoga been deserted by star and maid, by chorus girl and red automo bile? If Mr. Gates knew as much about theatrical affairs as he does about Wall street he would know the reason for the theatrical void in Saratoga. The spa has missed one of its most char acteristic features because material managers forbid the pleasures. An early opening of the theatrical season spoiled all hopes of fun for the actors in Sara toga or elsewhere. Hot, dusty Broad way in New York is the present camp ing ground of the player folk, and here they will remain until they depart with well-trained companies for the enter tainment of other cities. The rehearsal season is at its height, Behind the boarded, entrance of the Broadway theaters stage managers and Ot Apprehension of Sudden Death. Twenty Years of Heart Disease.

Agray stars are studying sftw manuscripts and wrangling witn unruly and dull witted, but beautiful choruses. In two weeks the season will be in full swing". And before that short time ias passed some actors will be boasting of new triumphs, some win oe trying to explain failures and railing at the brainless per sons, who, he is sure, make up the av erage audience. With the players rehearsing daily It is interesting to note what they do by way of amusing the public. First of all there will be no dearth of new plays. Charles Frohman, when he returned from Europe a few weeks ago, had the rights of 53 plays in his gripsack, and he is only one of the mny enterprising promoters who have playwrights under contract. There will be an increase in the number of new plays this year oyer last, and likewise the. number of old fa vorites to be produced will be in the ma jority. There are nine new theaters in New York, and so there must be more plays. The writers have not labored with enough Industry to fill the gap and it is evident then, that the needed plays had to be found in the files of other days. In all the hurry of preparation one fact stands out above all others. The season is to be a novel-play year. Dan iel Frohman raised a storm a short time ago by saying that the end of the dra matized novel was tn sight. He thought the prediction of years was near ful fillment and that the playwright would triumph completely over the nov elist. Short time was sufficient for Mr. Frohman's undoing. A list of book-plays to be produced was-made and it was large enough to convince even the Scotchman, who said he was open to conviction, but would like to see th man who could convince him. The out look Is that the novelist will carry ofl the large share of box office royalties. He may not give us the best play, but he will provide the largest number. And it is probable, too, he will come near to the playwright in the artistic finish of his work. Sally in the Ballet' Of all the girls a man may And, There's none more neat than Sally; She wears a costume of a kind. And trips it in the ballet; Her dance, each dainty wheel and run. To what can I compare it, O? With such a grace she whirls on one And twirls the other airy toe. I Although it's true, perhaps, that prudes Are sometimes shocked at Sally, She is the darling of the dudes Who come to see the ballet: With flying feet their praise she earns. But sober beards are shook at her Because she spins, and twists, and turns The heads of all who look at her. Where all are lovely past compare, There's none to vie with Sally: She glides and glistens here and there. The sunbeam of the ballet: YoH watch her, and -abandon grief. All cares you're soon forgetting so; She's lighter than the lightest leaf A breeze sets pirouetting so. A fleecy cloud, a fleck of foam. She dances through the ballet; It's lucky for her folks at home That they belong to Sally; For now they live a life of ease, No toil bedews them clammily. They stand on Sally's legs, and she's Supporting all the family. But that's, of course, behind the scenes. It is not In the ballet; Upon the stage a Queen of Queens, And nothing lefs, is Sally. Though coldly still at-home may strike The hand of dull ingratitude. Here, nightly bowered, fairy-like, She dances in beautitude. -a As tireless sf auterflyu-".-A glancing,: tianctug butterfly.

JOHN ADCOCK. Theatrical Notes. Anite Zorn, last season leading woman with Mrs. Le Moyne,-has been engaged for the part of Martha in Denman Thompson's play, "The Two Sisters.''. Florens Ziegfeld, Jr., has made a prop osition to the De Reszke brothers for a season of twenty concerts in this coun try. The contract has not, however, been closed. The attraction at the Academy week commencing August 31 will be the big new scenic production "vViien Women Love:" It is a story -of heart interest beautifully told. Clara Lipman Is to go out in a new piece of her own composition. It is en titled "Fifl Bon Bon," and her mana gers regard it as a very clever piece of stagecraft. "Terence" is the name of Chauncey Olcott's new play for this season. It is a dramatization by Mrs. E. N. Mor gan of Mrs. B. M. Croker's novel of the same name. As soon as John Kernel! has finished his contracting vaudeville dates he is to resume his starring tours. William Col lier has promised to lend a hand on a comedy to be provided for him. A new revolutionary play entitled "Paul Revere" may be produced in New York soon. It is by Dodson L. Mitchell, who last season had the part of Simon Ides in "Ben Hur." Miss Lillian Austin, who won consid erable success last season as" the "pink pajama girl" of Klaw Erlanger's "The Liberty Belles," has signed a con tract with the Columbia Stock company of Brooklyn. Miss Vivian Austin, who was seen in this city the early part of last season as a member of the sextette of "Floro dora," has Joined the "A Girl from Dixie" company. Little Deyo, who made somewhat of a success here in "The Girl from Paris" and other musical comedies, is to have Minnie Ashley's part of the French mil liner in "A Country Girl." John Sla vin is to succeed William Norris In the cast. Percy Haswell is to stay in Baltimore for three weeks, playing stock with Eugene Ormonde as her leading man. At the expiration of that period she is to take "The Favor of the Queen," in which she will star, on tour. Dorothy Morton says she has forsaken musical comedy for keeps and has plan ned an invasion of the London music halls. She has sailed for the otTter side, accompanied by ten girls to help her in her singing specialty. The question over the payment of royalties on "The Parish Priest" has been settled and the play has been pass ed from the hands of Daniel Sully and Willis Boyer Into the possession of Daniel L. Hart. It is.. now to be jro duced in Boston. Florence Lester, who for two years played the part of a page in "A Gentle man of France," has graduated to in genue, and will have the role of Sarah Putney in "Algy," which Vesta Tllley will present next month in Chicago. There are five Ledy Macbeths who threaten to walk In their sleep this season. Thev are Mrs. Leslie Carter, Mrs. Fiske, Mary Shaw. Nance O'Neil and Mrs. Patrick Campbell. It is report ed that Margaret Anglin also has a ten dency in this direction. Clyde Fitch's "The Climbers" is to have a London production, not, however, with Amelia Bingham in tJie'cart. H. Reeves Smith, who appeared In this country in "The Tyranny of Tears." and Sydney Val entine, another Englishman, together with Lily Hanbury are to be -seen in the piece. There will be only, two Desdemonas this year, despite the apparent popularity of Shakespeare. Eleanor Robson is to be one, with the elder Salvlni, while Flor ence Gale, a new star, is to easay the other with, Harry Letghton. Miss Gale appeared at Flavia. In "The Prisoner of Zemla." while-. Leighton starred for two years in tnat production. F. C. Witney has not yet succeeded in finding a suitable play in which to star Arthur Forrest. Tho dramatization nt Ma rie Corelli's "Temporal Power" proved un- ausiacrory. ana jar. wnitney is waiting for some one to write a play adapted to Mr. Forrest. It is stated that although James K. Hackett will open his season in the char acter of John Ermine of Yellowstone, in the dramatization by Louis Evan Shio man of Frederic Remington's novel, that actor has no intention of abandoning his plan of producing Victor Ma pes' spectac ular play, "Alexander the Great." Julius Steger, despite the protestations of Fiorens Ziegfeld, Jr., who believed he had secured the services of the baritone, is to fulrill his engagement with the "Nancy Brown" company this season. Mr. Ziegfeld made him a tempting offer to go with "The Red Feather, but Mr. Steger decided to follow Miss CahilL Some players find a superstitious charm Instead of Jonah in thirteen. Bertha Gal land has thirteen letters in her name and so has the title of her new play, "Doro thy Vernon." There are thirteen letters in "Polly Primrose," in which Adelaide Thurston stars this season. Mansfield is to present "Old Heidelberg," which also has thirteen letters. It is curious how the geography of fic tion will cling to an actor. This is again illustrated In Tim Murphy's new comedy, "The Man from Missouri," which will re veal him as a politician in Washington. He has tried to break away from the cap ital, but fate and the dramatists seem to return him there about every alternate dramatic election. Frances Belmont, who Jumped from a chorus girl to a leading position in Haw trey's production of "A Message irom Mars," has returned from London to de vote soma time to the study of elocution and dramatic art. In the spring she will make her appearance again in London in "The Two Schools." George Wilson, the noted minstrel and a company which he headed were stranded this week in Atlanta, Ga., the noted George being the only one who could get a check cashed and so return to New York. Some of the others since heard from friends, but it is understood that several are still enjoying the sfghts of the southern city. Florens Ziegfeld. Jr., and Anna Held have arrived in this country and have brought with them "Mademoiselle Napo leon," by Jean Richepin, which they will present in New York. The Ziegfeld Opera company has secured Grace Van Studdi ford for principal soprano, James T. Sul livan for the comedian and Elsie De Vere. The first production will be De Koven's "The Red Feather." SAVED FROM THE DUMPS. Where the Rubbish Is Picked Over The Worthless Things. The new city waste incinerator at the foot of West Forty-seventh street Is a boon to the trimmers and sorters. Its advantages are so great that it is said a higher price is paid for the privilege of trimming and sorting than is re alized at any gther dump in New York. The waste separated from ashes and plain sweepings is dumped by the carts at the end of a long belt, four feet wide, running in a somewhat wider trough or channel in the second story. On each side of this trough is a row of hoppers, on a shelf in each of which stands a man. The men grab from the steady stream of what other people have thrown away whatever is regard ed as valuable. Every scrap of paper or rag that is not hopelessly dirty is rescued and dropped into the hopper, falling to the floor below, where it is baled. Every bit of metal is pickea out. All pieces of wood large enough to have any value are saved, and if a feather pillow comes along, however dirty it may be, It is regarded as a prize. Not a whole bottle escapes the eyes of the eager trimmers, but it is rare that sheet glass large enough to be worth anything survives the pro cess of throwing away, gathering, haul ing and dumping the waste. "It seems," said the contractor, "that everybody who throws away sheet glass enjoys hearing if break. Thou sands of pieces worth from two to ten cents each would fall into our hands but for this human weakness. You'll see a man with part of a picture glass that would easily square 10 by 12 inches. walk up to an ash can and hurl the sheet flat against the farther side. If it is shivered by the contact, he'll walk away with a satisfied smile, but if it doesn't break he'll hunt five min utes for something to drop in on top, so there will be nothing but splinters left. "The bottles are cleaned and sold after having been carefully sorted. Bottles with the names of remedies or manufacturers blown in can always be sold to the firms which first put them out at a slight reduction below the price originally paid. Beer and soda water bottles and bottles for popular lotions and patent medicines, mineral water bottles and ketchup and sauce bottles are the most profitable. Any unmarked bottle will find a ready sale. Tin cans and boxes are fired until the solder is melted off. All that is bright on tin is saved, as it is valuable and easily recovered. The sheet iron that is left is practically valueless. Cotton and linen rags are made into fine writ ing napers. and waste newspapers and wrapping paper are made into coarse wrapping and lining papers again. Feathers are renovated and made bet ter and cleaner than new stock. "Bits ef iron, cast, wrought or mal leable, and steel, large or small, are all worth money. Lead and zinc are .prises, as are brass and copper. We don't get very large quantities of silver and gold. Wood, of course, has considerable worth if in large pieces, the larger the better. Old chairs, sofas, beds, baby carriages broken boxes and barrels, fruit baskets and berry boxes are not worth picking off the belt. A mattress that is thrown out is safer in the fire than anywhere else and it goes through without molestation and tumbles Into the hopper leading to the furnaces with the rest of the stuff we don't want, of which straw and excelsior form a con siderable part. The stuff we do not want makes heat enough to keep all the machinery of this plant going. It would run a 100 horsepower engine all the time." New York Tribune. Women Know How to Laugh. A critic of mankind observes that wo men laugh much more successfully thin men; that is, they know how to do it agreeably and discreetly, whereas a man merely open his mouth and emits a huge and usually an unmusical sound. No man looks his best when he is laugh ing heartily. A woman, on the contrary, may enjoy a Joke or a situation quite as much as he and laugh Just as much, but she manages to do it, as a rule, without disarranging her features or her toilet and without smiting disagreeably on the tympanum of other people. The tinkle of feminine laughter is generally pleas ant to listen to; it sounds well across water: it floats pleasantly on the breeze, and though there are exceptions, they seldom equal in disagreeableness the cachinnations of the opposite sex. New York Tribune. Taken With Cramps. William Kirmse. a member of the briie sang working near Littleport, was taken j suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera.

ACTOK M A WOltTH DEAD. Death Is Supposed to Have Been Caused by Hsart Disease. Cleveland. Aug. 2!). Joseph Haworth. the actor, was found dead in a room in the Kingsley hotej at Wiiloughby. Ohio, n small village a few mile east of this 'lty last night, aged 48 years. The dis rovery of Mr. Haworth's death was made by his sister, Miss Kate Haworth, who went to his room to call him, as they were to go together to the family home a mile or two from the hotel. The discovery was made at 8 o'clock. Death Is supposed to have been due to heart disease. Joseph Haworth had been rromfnent in the theatrical world for L'. years and was one of the first actors to come under the guidance of the vet eran John A.

Before the storm Professor Langly said a test would be made to day if the weather permitted. The fly ing machine was so shaken up tnat the lpunehing may be postponed for repairs. The machine was all ready to fly when the breeze stiffened to ten miles an hour and the experiment was abandoned.

A man who has seen many years sail ing as cook on the "Inland Seas," as the Great Lakes are called, has learned a thing or two about food as the following story shows: "I am a cook on the Great Lakes and have for five years suffered more than pen or tongue could tell from stomach trouble and have taken medicine enough to float the boat I sail in, and yet with out any relief from pain. "There were long stretches of time when I could not even keep milk or wine or the lightest kind of food on my stomach and I had fallen away from 145 to 105 pounds in less than two years. I saw so much in the newspapers about your food Grape-Nuts that one daV I decided to try it although without the least hope of success. "So I bought a package in Cleveland and made the trial and my stomach was so cranky I was afraid to try more than one teaspoonful with a little milk. To my surprise I kept it on my stomach without any bad feelings and at the end of an hour I knew it had digested and gone to the right spot so I tried two tea spoonfuls more with the same result. And now for the past seven months I have lived almost entirely on Grape Nuts where before I simply lived on medicines which consisted principally of opiates J;hat relieved me for a time but shattertd my nerves and weakened my stomach. "Soon after I began Grape-Nuts I gave up all medicines for I saw that GrapeTNuts was remaking me. Now my nerves are back in their proper shape and my stomach is so strong I can eat almost any kind of food without any sufferins whatever. "It may interest you to know that your food is very fine in case of seasick ness for in this line it has no equal. In many cases of very rough water I have given Grape-Nuts to people on my boat who were seasick, when the sight of even coffee would be unbearable but a few teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts pre pared with only water was taken and more asked for and given with perfect results. "You never saw two healthier or hap pier youngsters than my two grand children who eat nothing else for break fast or supper but Grape-Nuts. There are two other men on my boat besides myself who eat nothing else but Grape Nuts for breakfast. Had it not been for this perfect food I would now be depend ent on my relatives for support. The fellows on the boat-make fun of -me when they see me coming along with my little yellow package but I guess under the circumstances 1 can afford to laugh with them.". been called for Monday afternoon at the Commercial club to deliberate over measures proper for the entertainment of the visitors who are expected to stop here over night.. Rev. Francis L. Hayes has returned from his vacation and will occupy his pulpit at the First Congregational church Sunday morning. He will preach a sermon in recognition of the approach of labor day. In the 14 tests of milk Chemist Gray found two free from preservatives of any kind. One of these was the O. B. dairy milk. W. S. O'Brien, the pro prietor, says he has always furnished pure milk. Rev. J. D. Countermine will preach at the First Presbyterian church Sunday. He has returned from a month's vaca tion at Winona Lake, Indiana, where he went after a trip to San Francisco to attend the .Presbyterian general as sembly. The recent decision of Topeka meat packers to quit delivering meat to re tailers will work a hardship on the small suburban meat men. They do not handle large quantities of meat and will have difficulty in securing their sup plies. Bids will be solicited by the county commissioners for the work of complet ing 1,200 feet of macadam road on West Sixth street.1 The work has been left at a standstill for a Jong time and the commissioners want it finished before cold weather. Vina View, the young woman who attempted to commit suicide a week ago, is the girl who was in a carriage near Rossville a year ago which was struck by a Union Pacific train.

Mrs. Kleinhans possesses a powerful voice and handles it with exceptional ability. The Marshall's band concerts at the corner of Eighth and Harrison streets have lost nothing of their attractiveness for the music lovers of Topeka. Few of the evenings this summer have been more beautiful than last night and the streets on either side of the concert lot were filled with buggies while all the standing roonv around the band stand as well as much of the capitol square across the street was taken.

Not States, but Oklahoma is not a state; neither is Indian Territory. And yet, at the last census, their population was almost as great as the combined population of Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming. Today, it is greater. Their area is equal to the combined area of all the New England States, with. Dela ware thrown in for good measure. The largest city in the twin territories Is only fifteen years old. but it has a population of nearly 35.000. There are eight other towns with a population of 5,000 or more, besides innumerable smaller places from 100 to 3,000. No section of the United States Is growing more rap idly or building on a firmer foundation. No section offers greater opportunities to the man who is looking for a new location. This is as true of the professional man as it is of the farmer or merchant. Oklahoma and Indian Territories are gridironed by the lines of the Rock Island and its sister system, the Frisco. Kvery town of importance is on one or the other of these railroads. We have issued, and will gladly mail to anyone who will ask for them, two little books descriptive of the Southwest. One book is called "Men Wanted." It contains a list of the business openings along the lines of the Rock Island System. The other is en titled "Rock Island States Southwest.", It describes at considerable length those portions of the South west which have been thrown open for settlement by recent extensions of Rock Island lines.

TOPEKA STATE JO URN AI SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 100. 9 STILLJJNEVEN. Trade Conditions Are Influenc ed by Backward Crops, Damage Reports and Uncertain Monetary Outlook. KO OVER EXTENSION. Business That Is Done Is on a Solid Foundation. Dnn Co. Sees Prospects of Great Permanent Gain. New York, Aug. 29. Bradstreefs ays: "Trade conditions are still slightly uneven, due to the backwardness of crops In some sections, damage reports from others and uncertainty as to the monetary outlook. Fall trade In favor ably situated sections compares well with a year ago, while in others a disposition to hold back Is manifested. Car congestion reports are still numer ous. The feeling grows that the Iron trade Is grounding on the bottom as regardsprlces, and small buying of pig Iron is more marked; but there again ;ome uncertainty is still noticeable. Taken as a whole, the situation has many elements of strength. What bus iness is doing is of a solid character and, in fact, any tendency to over-extension is conspicuously absent. The New England shoe industry as, In fact, that o the entire country, ap pears to be in excellent shape, though the complaint here is that while sales are large profits are small. "A notable improvement In the Jewel ry trade is reported from New Eng land manufacturing centers, though doubt as to the labor outlook mars an otherwise favorable prospect. "The cotton goods trade feels the ef fect of the continued stringency in sup plies, but Jobbers have found buying very free. Supplies are small in nearly nil positions, and predictions of small stocks and heavy business when ,the present embargo is removed are many. "Wool is firmer on more moderate de mand. Business in spring weights is of good volume with agents and re ports from tl.e clothing trade generally are good, the best coming from the vest and south." It. U. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade s."ys: "There is still no indication of the de pression in trade and industry that pessimists predicted would follow the leeline in securities. Conservatism was developed by the uncertainty re garding the effect upon financial con ditions, but legitimate business is able to secure funds jis they are required, unit the more cautious progress of bus iness gives promise of greater perma nent gain. Weak spots have been dis closed and the technical position strengthened, just as occurred in the tock market. Readjustment after a period of inllation must of. necessity bring some losses, yet the outlook is brightened by the removal of threaten ing industrial clouds. Dispatches from -.U sections testify to the liberal dis tribution of merchandise and the dis position to prepare for greater con sumption of all the necessities of life, while the crops are making good prog ress aside from some cotton districts in Texas. The number of buyers in New York is increasing and a heavy fall trade is anticipated. "It is gratifying to find that consum rrs of pig iron have at last apparently decided to place contracts without waiting for further concessions. "The decline has now reached its limit, judging by the larger amount of contracts offered, and this is the most important indication of a restoration to normal conditions of prosperity in the steel industry. It is estimated that si large tonnage of structural fit eel will soon be ordered for delivery in 1!)04, al though this is In a large measure de pendent on labor controversies. The railways are still vigorous purchasers of steel, especially as to rails. There is s fair business in plates and sheets. but an effort to re-sell an oversupply of billets has produced temporary weakness in that division. "There is sufficient business on the hooks of New Kngland shoe manufac turers to assure full operation of ma chinery for several- months. While laree sales of upper leather are report ed, there is little demand for sole leather. Domestic hides again average slichtly lower. but small offerings main tain imported hides. Thus far the lib eral Jobbing trade in dry goods has rot affected the situation at the cotton mills, where he percentage or idle ma cMnry has increased. Woolens are fui"t. and the only event of importance in silks was a special sale at low prices "Failures this week numbered 176 in he T'nited States against 173 last year nnd 33 in Canada compared with 14 a year ago." t LIKE OLD TIMES. k Topeka Bank Clearings Show Gain of 12,2 Per Cent.

A three-hours' fight and the capture of a monster sunflsh weighing 1,800 pounds, was the strenuous experience of two women and a boatman at Cata lina last week. It has added a new chapter to the life of that famous mart and to the fishing history of the Pa cific coast. The fishermen of this coast have made many notable catches and have captured many things strange and startling in the sea. but the mon ster caught last week, resembling a dismantled elephant minus the bones, is easily the biggest catch of the sea son. The particular one that was landed owes his destruction really to two wo men. Mrs. A. W. Barrett, of Los An ireles. and Mrs. Nellie Hall, of Koch- ester, N. Y. They were out in the Pa ciSc ocean last Tuesday with SkiDuer George Farnsworth in a launch, after jewtish. While gazing over the calm surface of the channel about a mile from shore the ladies happened to look behind them, and away off in the dis tance, about a half mile astern, saw a great black mass on the surface of the sea that shone up distinctly in the eun. It was whale-like in size and appear ance, and the boatman put his lauuch about to investigate the aoparent dere lict. As the boat drew near the occu pants saw that it was a monster Bun hsh that was lolling on the surface, warming itself in the morning sun. From its size the party knew that to venture too close might invite a fight and a wreck of the boat, but after a consultation the ladies decided that the big slimy lump of quivering flesh must be snared if possible. Accordingly Skipper Farnsworth selected his heav iest saff hook and turned on full steam ahead for a charge on the fish moun tain. When close enough, Farnsworth swung the gaff with all his force and the hook went down deep into the quivering flesh of the sleeping fish. It was a rude awakening, and when the fish- felt the sharp pain it lashed out in every direction with great fury in the effort to free itself. The hook had taken a firm hold and could not be pulled out, and when the monster realized this it renewed its fierce efforts to "scrie. This twisting and turning and thrash ing continued for over an hour until relief came in the person of Roatman Kims, who had seen the fight from a distance and instantly realized that something was doing. He also sunk his big gaff into the struggling sea ele phant, and by taking turns the two men securely held it until it fought itself into complete exhaustion, the struggle going on for one hour and 45 minutes after Kims arrived, or for about three hours after Farnsworth first gaffed it. The task of bringing it to the beach took up another half hour. It was towed in by both launches, and a dozen men worked themselves tired dragging it up on the beach. Although the tackle at Avalon is ample for handling all kinds of fish up to 1,000 pounds, it was inadequate for this one, for it was about 12 feet long and about five ieet in diameter. It was almost as large as a prize cow at a country fair, a id it attracted ten times as much attention. The entire population of Avalon turned out to see the big thing, which had been drawn up to the platform by means of a heavy diock ana tackle, 'mere it remained for a dav, and it quivered with life for many hours after being token out of tne water.

With Hammocks and Picnic Dinners in Their Hands Shawnee County Workmen Will Gather at Yinewood. 0IIIA0NS TO OTTAWA. Will Help Franklin County Buckeyes Enjoy Themselves. Last Wednesday's Picnic Was a Very Successful Event. A big picnic of the Workmen of Shawnee county together with invited lodges from the small towns outside is the plan that Is on floor in the councils of the A. O. U. W. of Topeka just now. The picnic will probably be held at Vinewood park during the latter part of September, after the state fair;. The project has been started by Upchurch lodge 244 but has been enthusiastical ly taken up by the other lodges In town. A committee from this lodge has been appointed to see what arrange ments can be made for the gathering and to interest the other Workmen bodies. Invitations will be sent to lodges in the small towns of the counties to join in the arrangements for the gathering. It is the intention to make the picnic a display of the strength of the order in the county and, with this in view, the project is being warmly supported. Should the picnic prove the success it is expected to be it is planned to turn it into an annual affair. It is believed that the holding of such a gathering. which will come to be very generally attended and will demonstrate the suc cessful growth of the order, will do much toward keeping up the fraternal feeling in the lodges. The plans for this year include a number of team drills in which prizes of some sort will be hung up for the competition. Every lodge in the coun ty will doubtless enter its team for the prize. The Workmen lodges in Topeka are as follows'. Capital lodge No. 3, Apollo lodge No. 188.- Irwin lodge No. 260, Kaw Valley lodge No. 20. Upchurch lodge No. 244, Star lodge No. 331 and Topeka lodge No. 11. There are also lodges at Shorey and Oakland. The De gree of Honor lodges, the auxiliaries of the Workmen lodges, are as follows: Excelsior ledge No. 61, North Topeka lodge No. 152. Lincoln lodge No. 299, Capital lodge No. 7 and Charity lodge No. 26. The Topeka organization of the Ohio as sociation held a very successful picnic at Vinewood park last Wednesday with an attendance of several hundred members of the society with their families. It was an all day affair, although many of the picnickers spent only a part of the day at the park. During the afternoon a lipht rain storm frightened some of the people oack to their homes, Dut mere was a goon assemblage for the speeches by T. A. McNeal and ti. j. Kcigewortn ot Ottawa. The picnic Is an annual affair. On September 3 a train load of Ohioans will go from Topeka to Ottawa on a Santa Fe excursion to attend the Ohio j club picnic there. An invitation has been sent out by the Ottawa Ohioans and it is believed that a very general response will tie made to it. A railroad rate, of one dol lar for the round trip ujs been secured. Jtrovided 60 persons can be secured for the ourney. Secretary Harry Wright of the Ohio club has sent out the request that all persons desiring to go on the excursion shall meet Monday evening at Harry Jiang's wall paper store, next to the Cope land hotel, to make arrangements for tickets. Deputy Grand Master J. F. Daniels ot the A. O. U. W. was in attendance at the last regular meeting of the Buffalo lodge at Buffalo. Kan., where 21 new members wr initiated into the order. Of the pleasant affair the Buffalo Advocate says: "A team from Yates f'ehter lodge con ferred the degrees and Captain E. B. AVhite and J. B. Adams of Independence were toi with all the 'fixin's' and gave what is known as the 'screen work.' Re freshments were served at the close." A very much enjoyed social was given last Tuesday evening by the Court of Honor at 418 Kansas avenue. There, was a good attendance and a large amount of refreshments were consumed. Last Tuesday night Capitol Ark No. 60 K. P. A. gave a progressive stock ex change card party. The new game was entered Into with a great deal of spirit and all sorts of fun was had out of it. Harry Gavitt put up two bottles of patent medicine for prizes for the evening. The nature of the prizes was not made known, but the players were given every assur ance that they were well worth trying for. Harry Wright, who acted as floor manager, devoted considerable pains to praise the mysterious trophies and when they were Anally presented to the winner of the series the shouts of applause were terrific. Oti Inst Wednesday evenlmr the bovs o? the members of Valiant lodge No. 155 at the members of Valliant lodge No. 155 at the lodge rooms at Sixth and Quincy streets.

Fly-Repelling Mixtures. Prof. Day, of the Guelph College of Agriculture, gave us his recipe for a fly-repelling mixture, as follows: One tablespoonful of crude carbolic acid and one quart of seal oil or any kind of cheap fish oil; mix and apply with a brush. Applied in this way it retains its effectiveness almost a week, while if applied with a hand sprayer the ap plication has to be repeated quite often, say three or four times a week. J have used various mixtures of this kind, among them a number of patented and highly recommended one! I have found none as yet, however, which proved materially better than any other, and my home-made mixtures are giving fully as good service as any other I have tried. The mixture of crude carbolic acid and fish oil is prob ably as cheap as any fly repeller can be made, but we cannot easily get the fish oil except in the large cities, and sometimes not very readily even there. I use a mixture of oil of tar, which 1 can get at 75 cents a gallon, and kero sene, and I sometimes add a little crude carbolic acid, although this is not absolutely necessary. This may be applied with a brush or rag. I prefer to spray it on with one of the 50-cent hand sprayers. But I rind that In order to be an effective protection the appli cation must be repeated at far shorter intervals than is usualfy recommend ed. Whether you use a home-made mixture or one of the patented fly re pellers, once a day is none too often when you apply it with a sprayer, and I prefer to spray my cattle not less than twice a day. It is quickly done, is not expensive, and what a lot of tor ment it saves the poor brutes. The Ohio Farmer. Cholera Infantum.

STRANGE ACCIDENT Resulted in a Tragedy And Ended a Colombian Revolution. "The rejection of the canal treaty by Colombia," said a gentleman recently who has been following affairs in that country very closely for the last fcev eral years, "reminds me of one of the numerous revolutions in that republic.. and how it was brought to an end by an accident. I don't remember which one it was t mean its number, for I have lost my memorandum in which I had the revolutions of the last forty years arranged alphabetically that is, the name of the rebel leader, with eacli one numbered. Admiral Jewett, Cap tain McCalla and 'another American naval officer nairted Judd were central figures in the tragedy that brought the revolution to a sudden termination. Admiral Jewett, it seems, who was irv charge of the American forces at Colon, sent McCalla ashore with a detachment of men to protect, the American inter ests. Jewett wanted to get away, and determined, without warrant or au thority, to get the rebel leader and talk the matter over with him. He sent for the fellow I've forgotten his name and he came down to meet the admiral. In the meantimOi the rebels, fearing that something might happen to their chief, captured Judd and took him to the mountains near where the confer ence was to take place, to watch the palavering from afar, telling Judd that if any harm befell their leader his lif would pay the penalty. Before Jewett arrived, it seems, the Americans learned of the capture of Judd, and, the rebels guarding him being in sight, they look the rebel chief, placed a rope around bis neck and made him Htantl uron a siat car in full view of the rebels in the mountains. It was not their purpose to injure him, only to se cure the release of Judd. But in some way the car got started down hill, thi? chief was yanked from the car and (n n,Mlt. I.'t,..-.. so surprised they never thought nf cut ting the rope for some time, and when they did the rebel leader was dead, and the revolution had thus been brousht to an end. But that does not end the story. One of the officers, a gallant fellow, who was afterward released by the rebels, became ill and was sent to New York. He was later sent to the insane asylum, where he is at his time, laboring undeT the hallucination that the rebels are still after him. It seems that when he left Colon he had a large chunk of silver, and when he left the steamer at New York he wandered, about the streets aimlessly for a time, being finally taken care of by the po lice, then sent to the asylum."

Or is it because you don't like your brilliant and brainy American sister-in-law, young Cornwallls-West's wife, that you thus leap into the arena with a war whoop against all American wo men? Who knows? But, finally, I permit myself to commend to your con sideration two general propositions. The first one who attempts to stir up race prejudice is an enemy to civ ilization. The second it is the mark of crassest, most ignorant provincial ism to hold one's own town superior to other people's towns. See? PATRICIA STUART. TABLE- even though Cornwallis-West is your I given to the natural jealousy the at- own brother and a gallant soldier and a gentleman. You are young, but then you are older than your husband, and you ought to have toned him down by this time to observe at least common courtesy and good manners. You have much to learn, Shelagh. The sooner you learn it the better for yourself. Know, first of all, you cannot possibly hurt American ladies socially. You are bucking against the band wag on when you attempt it. Already you begin to get your "comeupance." That; ball of yours, which was to be the social event of 1903 and to which you omitted to send invitations to every American woman in London society whom you dared leave out did you not on that account receive a direct social slap in the face from your king, Albert Ed ward himself? He declined to attend you ball at all; the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the king's brother and sister-in-law, also refused to attend, and the actual reason was that you had snubbed American ladies who are the friends of royalty. When he was only Prince of Wales, Albert Edward was noted for his tact fulness and genuine kindnes of heart. He was too well bred to manifest toward persons entitled to respect the rudeness you and your husband were guilty of at the Chester races and your ball. How did you feel when, at that ball, your biggest lion was a young lady who had been an actress on the variety stage? It was nothing against the young lady: quite the contrary. But after all it wasn't quite like having the king and the Duke of Connaught among your guests, was it? The good will Albert Edward showed to Americans socially when he was Prince of Wales he manifests still in the larger national field, and the American people appreciate it. There is a dream among thinkers who dwell in the United Kingdom on your side of the water, those in our great republic this side of the Atlantic, those, too, who inhabit the great continent of far away southwestern seas among these, I say, there is a dream that English speaking peoples, united in the common aims of human brotherhood, will be called to hold the vanguard of human civilization itself against the destruc tive forces even now making inroads on it. The English speaking peoples, Americans. Irish, Scotch. Canadians, English, Australians, all of them form the most powerful, most intelligent, most prosperous brotherhood ever unit ed by common ties of kinship and the love of liberty, law and order. Human destiny itself, upward moving, glorious, demands that they go forward together, upholding one another's hands, broth erly. And you think you'll stop it by administering your infantile snub to a PAPER NAPERY AND WARE. Everything in the shape of doilies, casserole frills and sherbet cups is now made of paper. They are as dainty as possible and are made to imitate the bautiful Tenerife work, Mexican drawn work and all lace patterns In the most wonderful manner. Despite their fragile appearance they are proof against liquids and do not get soggy. Salad and ice cream cases come in a variety of pleasing forms, and it is possible to carry out a color scheme with trifling expense. For children's parties these paper dishes, supplemented by paper napkins, will relieve the anxious hostess of much apprehension in regard to breakage. For picnics they are invaluable. Not only do they save the bother of packing up and carrying home dishes, but they add materially to the beauty of the occasion. FOR WOMEN CYCLERS. Lady Marjorie, in the Cycle, says: "I should like to ask all my friends to cultivate a pleasant, cheerful expres sion when cycling. So many girls when learning pucker their brows and look so terribly anxious and uncomfortable that when the ordeal of their initiate is over the strained look upon their faces becomes a habit and is very difficult to overcome. Keeping the eye fixed rigidly upon the front wheel or looking anxiously ahead for troubles in the way of approaching vehicles, hills, etc., ed ucates this habit. "Sit up and smile and look happy. You will find how much more you will enjoy your ride and with what a dif ferent aspect your friends will look upon cycling aa a woman's pastime." The old fashioned tambour work is among the most fashionable of any this year and is seen in linen, muslin, chif fon and silk. A great deal of it is done by machine, but to be really smart and handsome it must be done by hand. T is not all a fad, r evtn half a fad., Scientists agree that the air con tains in itself the elements of human food,' if man only knew how to extract them and combine them properly. It is believed, too, that the sun's rays oonvey to earth the germs of all life that they are., in the atmosphere. The more air we can breathe, therefore, and the purer it, is, the mora of both life and nourishment we shall draw Into ua. Hence the meaning Is easily compre hended of Eleanor Kirk's famous say ing, "Eat some air." It is not enough to breathe -as tha quadrupeds do. We who have Intelli gence can improve on them, can de velop and increase the power, health, endurance and beauty of our bodies till they are the fit housing of immortal souls. There is a Breathing to bm learned that will of itself help lift US to the plane of constant Joy and elas ticity. The crown of womanhood is perfect health. To gain this we should use all the means at our command. Fortu- nately the essential materials to this end were also wisely ordained to be the cheapest, and they are air and water. The frequent bathing of the body and the habit of drinking plenty of water form an important part of the beginning of wisdom toward get- ting perfect health. Next undoubtedly cames habitual deep breathing, thor ough aeration of the blood. You cannot have this and wear tight corsets or any confining bands about the waist. It is impossible. Let me give you the process of breathing for health, not merely for animal existence. Have all your clothing entirely loose. Then begin and fill yourself with air. slowly, slowly. Make no effort to swell your body. It will swell itself if you Just let it. Do not make any effort to breathe-with your nostrils. The nos trils are merely passages to let the pure air in and the exhausted air out. The breathing effort itself should be made from the very center of your body. Note how the great, splendid bulk of air you take in raises your chest and enlarges it. This is the true lifting of the chest you read so much about. After you have noted how the long, deep breath lifts your chest to a beautiful fullness, resolve to yourself that hence forth you will make yourself habit ually carry your chest in that noble, elevated manner and then do it. The lifted chest must be kept so by the muscles about the waist, which some women allow to sag and weaken in so disgraceful a manner. After you have slowly drawn in all the air you can hold and you must feel as though your whole body is full of air from your toes up then proceed to exhale. Do this slowly, taking fully as much time to exhale as you did to inhale. This is an important point in breathing instructions, that we shall exhale a breath as slowly as we inhale It. Oriental teachers enjoin thjs spe cially on their disciples." AnntA th t,Al,U 1 .4.1 .viunc iuc unuu ji ui training aa above and you will wonder at the ex-, cellent results that follow. Have the air always the purest you can get. Half of the colds, grips and pneumonia at- tacks would be avoided if people venti lated their sleeping rooms properly. Immortal human beings ought at least to provide for themselves as good ven tilation as turfmen provide for a race horse. It will help you much to think always that when you breathe deeply and fully you are taking In food in its purest form, which is the actual fact. Remember this and nourish yourselff duly. When you are very weary and nerve less, try the effect of the following breathing process: Have your clothing; entirely free. Lie flat upon your back, out straight, every muscle In your body relaxed. Especially let the muscles around your forehead, eyes, mouth and the base of the brain lie so loose that you are not conscious of them. After having thus relaxed, begin and breathe slowly and fully from-' the lowest point of your body, at the ery tip of the spine. Think of the breath as being drawn to this point while you inhale. Then exhale slowly and think of a nerve current as passing from the tip of your spine up the spinaj cord into your brain. If you do this and note carefully you will feel an actual vibra tory sensation quivering at the base of your brain and up into your head and eyes. Practice this breathing five to ten minutes at a time, especially after you are done work in the evening,, and you will find It exceedingly restful and life giving. MARY GOULD LYTLE.

Si A famous physician, a fashionable bootmaker, a successful portrait paint- er, a brilliant cartoonist and three beau tlful women have recently contributed their views of a newspaper syndicate on the high-heeled shoe. The physician dis approves of them emphatically and un reservedly. He is Dr. Cyrus Edson of New York, a famous authority on hy giene. He asserts that no woman can be healthy and happy who wears high French heels habitually. He says they distort the feet, throw the body out of balance, cause nervous trouoles and other disorders. The bootmaker says that all he knows about it is that the women are wearing them more and more all the time. They have never gone out of fashion for danc ing and house shoes and now they are worn for all occasions except the out door sports. They are very stylish, says this authority, A. J. Cammeyer, who makes shoes for the fashionable women of New York, and he has more de mands for them every day. Some wo men want their heels two and one-halt inches high, very slender and curved. Everyone a.ks for the Louis XV heel and he doesn't think they are injurious if properly made so that the front of the foot rests well on the ground. Henru Peine du Bois, painter and art criclt, declares that he can't do much for the physicians and reformers who re always wanting women to be hy gienic at the expense of beauty. What if high heels do hurt?" They give tne foot beauty, arch, instep, character. The ankles of the Greek women at Mitylere were decorated with laree serpents of clear metal which lintinnbulated on high heels. They hurst. The pattens that were worn by Shakespeare's Juliet hurt. Monsieur Du Kois' idea seems to be that these fashionable Instruments of torture don't hurt half as much as ug liness, inelegance, lack of style. "I do not." he concludes, "like the physician who is incessantly hurling reasonable ideas t women. nationalism is not good for women. They ought not to lis ten to the physiologists w ho say th U women are only ill when we think them inspired and who explain their sublime faculty to love and suffer by the 'pre dominance of reflex movements." "For women who live in gilded cages." ays T. K. 1'owers, the cartoonist, "high heels should be admirable. On a sandy beach, for inrtanee they would be dan gerous. However I have long since learned that in the search for beauty no woman minds a tritle like a sprained ankle or a broken leg. The woman who wears them may develop nervous pros tration or j-pinal trouble but what of that if her teet look smaller and her instep more arched? Even when lovely woman dons men's trousers as in "As You Like It" she clings to her email foet, and again I say she is right." "Why?" "Because she is a woman." The three women who were Interview ed were Sarah Bernhardt. Louise Leslie Carter and Anna Held. Madame Bern hardt says: "High heels are exquisite for the woman who knows how to wear them. Every woman does not know how. They must not be worn for instance if one is going to start out on a pedestrian tour. They must not be worn to climb mountains or play tennis. The woman who wears high heels must learn to walk in them Just as she learns to man age a train or carry herself in one of the cut corsets. I can see no reason why there should be danger from wearing high heels. The great argument ir their favor is that they are prettier than low Ones." "It is all very well for sensible people to recommend flat heels and short Bklrts," says Anna Held. "But well, most of us prefer not to be sensible. I have never worn anything but high heels curved in the middle of the foot and 1 live today to tell the tale." Mrs. Leslie Carter has worn high heels even since she was a child and declares her health has always been of the very best. High heels she says are as com fortable as any shape and give to the foot a smart appearance impossible with any other kind of heel. Lady fair, do you Btill wear a pom padour?

Every girl you've met tor the past three years has had her back hair brushed up smoothly and fastened tightly and a nuwsiey mop an over ner lorenead and the top of her head. There is a certain quaint charm and quiet distinction about the part, and after the "messy" looking and exaggerated style of hair dressing with which we have latterly been familiar it is really a refreshing change.

Some English woman, who evidently has never heard of what happened to the bullfrog, who hadn't nothin' else to do, has written a book on How to Choose a Husband. There may be a demand tor such a volume in England, although it would be a most disloyal American who wouldn't have enough faith in her countrywomen to believe that they would know what to do, should a choice- of that sort present itself, without the aid of printed ad vice. But just to show what rot (inris a publisher and a sale, some excerpts from the Englishwoman's book ar given: A husband should be chosen for his lovable qualities and his powers of affection, and for these reasons alone. tiirls should refuse at all hazards the man who proposes at a dance. Often in the glamour of a ballroom men say what they wish unsaid in the morning. At a picnic a girl may judge of a man's character, because of the work to be done in washing up, carrying baskets, and opening bottles. It would be quite safe to accept a proposal m;:de at one, especially if made before luncheon. Do not marry a man who writes Ideal letters. He is invariably led away by his imagination. No woman need to flatter herself she will ever either cure a drunkard or n joy being an old man's darling. Do not marry a dyspeptic, tor he will be insufferably disagreeable at break fast. Do not marry a man who proposes by letter. He is a coward. Don't put an every nay man on a pedestal and then knock him off again. Choose a man without regard to his profession or his appearance, a man whom you can love, honor, and obey, who will be not only your lover and your friend but your master. It Is soothing to note, observes the Kansas City Star editorially, that the statute of limitations has been invoked against the cultivation among fashion able society girls of tanned complex ions by going around in the sun with out any covering on their heads. The fad was absurd and ridiculous or it would never have become popular. Now it has been pronounced obsolete at Newport, where it has been discov ered that many young women have actually ruined their complexions by i mi n i' u TOPEKA STAE JOTJUNAL, SArURDAT EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1903.

Thank heaven for the disappearance of the sun-burned maiden and for the hope that the unwomanly woman will soon be hard to find outside of sifffrage societies and the magazines and pic ture papers that print .Charles Dan.i Gibson's square shouldered, square featured portraitures. It will make the amateur gown build ers who have been cutting everything from their own reception toilets to their nightgowns from their favorite shirt waist patterns howl with rage, but in dications are that the blouse is to be succeeded in the immediate future by the tightly fitted bodice. It has been some time since this fashion found fa vor except with the occasional woman who never wears anything but a tailor made but it is hinted from Paris and other fashion centers that the fitted waist is to return. There are evidences of this in the popularity of the "corset" coat and the disappearance of the blouse from many of the new fall wrars. It really seems a shame for the blouse is so graceful, so girlish, so simple and so universally becoming. For a time stout women fought against it from the fool ish superstition that it made them look larger, but finally they learned what the artists have been saying for years, that loose lines concealed the figure, either in excessive thinness of its dis tressing embonpoint, and that only the woman of perfect lines and proportions should wear a tightly fitted garment. So little by little the blouse idea spread and grew and for some years now we have had nothing else. Well, probably the women are getting tired of it. After all only so many var iations in the way of trimming, new sleeves, new collars and new materials are possible to any single model and un doubtedly all of those have been tried. The plain blouse, the tucked or plaited or emboudered blouse, the blouse with lace inserts and jewelled sequins; the blouse with bolero or Monte Carlo or stole effect we have had them all. Now there is a demand for something else. The something else will be the fitted bodice. But take cheer. O heart of grief! Plain lines revealing the figure, which one has not or has too much of, and darts and all that sort of thing sound awful, but you must remember that styles In corsets have changed since the tight bodice was with us the last time and a fitted waist over the new French straight-fronts will be quite a different thing from the old curving front "basques" which we remember as a hideous nightmare.

For the Cooler Cays in Summer. As the summer begins to wane we are frequently surprised with sudden changes in the temperature. After days of lan guor and exhaustion from excessive heat and humidity we suddenly find ourselves, without warning, in a very different at mosphere. The morning air is crisp, with a decided hint of frost in it, which rouses and invigorates us. sharpens the appe tite, dispels the late indifference for all material things to such extent that we actually long for the lately despised flesh pots of Egypt, and the most inviting thing that can assail the senses and lure us in most inviting manner is the odors from hot cooked foods. Again we feel the keen edge of appetite at tne bare imagination of a least and rind that tasty but unsub stantial "appetizer," iced melon, but a poor substitute for a broiled chop or a small nicely grilled steak and cup of frag rant, steaming coffee. It may not be that one absolutely needs an ottnee more food than they did on warmer, previous days, for the natural demand does not vary so suddenly and completely, but they may require a change in foods as well as to have them present ed in a different form. When such condi tions confront the housewife she may find herself perplexed to meet the demands of the increased appetite for stronger foods unless she has a well selected and practi cal list of dishes to refer to, and the ready wit to meet these unlooked for emergen cies and till the rather trying role of spe cial Providence in satisfying the expec tant family, and retaining their belief in her alVlity to always give them something good to eat, whate'er betide. It is a try ing position, one must admit, but not one to dismay the resourceful housewife whose incentive is love and who finds suf ficient reward in the family appreciation of her efforts and the results therefrom. The bargain counter enthusiasm consumed in the struggle after that ignis-fatuus, something tor nothing, d'.rectea witn much less effort and exhaustion in the achievement of the same and in culinary affairs, will bring far more pleasure and profit to housewife and family than the most favorable "bargain hunt." Fresh meats may not be procurable at such times there may not be so much as a fresh egg in the larder or at least suffi cient number to serve unless greatly aug mented by other suitable materials. If there are any cold cooked meats, fresh or salt, a tasty dish is easily produced. But at this season there are many vegetables, especially tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, egg plant, squash, etc., and we may sately say always stale bread, milk and butter. Cheese should be one of the regular sup plies in the iarder at this- season. Stale cheese may be grated- and-kept a long time in tightly eorked bolties. This com bined with -many vegetaoies win supply proteid and fat and make many dishes quite as appetizing and far more suitable for most people at this season, than heavy meats. If meats are necessities to soma people let them treat them as necessities and serve them when they needs must. BARBECUED LAMB. Cut cold lamb into thin slices.

A decision of much Importance to mo torists has just been given by the court of first instance of Dinant Belgium, sit ting as court of appeal from the police court of that town. It is one reversing the conviction of the owner of a motor car for progressing at greater speed than the authorized ten kilometers an hour. The facts pf the case, as put for ward by the police, seemed incontrover tible at the first hearing. It was proved beyond Question that the car had gone at a rate far in advance of the legal one; and it was also proved beyond dispute that its owner, against whom the proceedings were taken, was in it at the time. The police eourt judge con victed on this and fined the owner 10f., paying no heed to his contention, which, indeed, seemed the merest quibble, that the police could not have recognized him as the chauffeur, as he whizzed past in a cloud of dust. The owner, however, was not satisfied, and he carried his pro est to the higher court, where it won the day for him, to the great joy of Bel gian chauffeurs. The defendant- in the case stated that he was not, in fact, acting as chauffeur at the time when the breach of the law was committed, but his plea did r.ot rest on fact, nor did he bring forward any evidence to sustain his statement. Thi; ground on which he went was tbat it was impossible for the police to Iden tify the driver of the car, since he, like each of his companions, was masked and spectacled.

The trium phant motorist refused to "denounce" the chauffeur, and as all the powers of Belgian law seemed unable to compel him to do so. the case fell entirely to the ground and the police found themselves proved impotent and ridiculous. What ever may be thought of it, the Judgment must be sound in Belgian law, for not only did the police authorities carry the case no further, but a similar judgment in another case at Ostend, given on the same grounds, comes to prove the val idity of this one. A point which might escape notice is that which legalizes in the judgment, the wearing of masks and suchlike pro tections against wind and dust. It is il legal in Belgium, to disguise oneself at any time other than that of the carnival, or even to appear in public in fantastic or fancy dress, and there is no minor of fense the police the quicker to pounce upon as English sportsmen going to a "chasse" in the uniform of their hunt and Highland soldiers traveling in Bel gium have found out before now to their momentary disturbance. Of course, In the case of the soldiers and huntsmen the matter was speedily explained and settled by profuse apologies, but It ap pears that motorists are henceforth to be above the ordinary law and at liberty to disguise themselves as they will, pro vided their disguises are made up of ob jects which are "indispensable to those who circulate in automobiles." Already the inhabitants of Brussels and Its sub urbs are crying out that as a conse quence of these decisions, whatever po lice supervision of the motorist's speed existed already has been almost entire ly allowed to lapse, and motors are now said to rush everywhere in the suburbs, even after nightfall, at the speed of ex press trains. Within the last few days accidents fatal to pedestrians have been reported from Brussels, which the more timid are not slow to trace to the new ly discovered Immunity of all spectacled chauffeurs.
