TWO CENTS. i I RAILROADS Decide Not to Advance Cattle Itafes Now. Hearing Before Commissioners Comes to a Sudden En I. HAVE MADE DISCOVERY Hare Found That Cattle Busi ness Is Demoralized. Hare Also Ascertained That Service Is Poor. FIGURES TELL STORY. Indicate That; Kansas Pays More Than Other States. Showing Not Favorable to Hail roads of the Stte. The rattle rate hearing before the state board of railroad oommissioners came to a sudden termination today. The railroad companies gave up, with drawing their proposed rates and con ceding the demands of the cattle ship pers. COMMISSIONER WALKER LISTEN ING TO THE EVIDENCE. This move on the part of the rail roads was a surprise to nearly every one. The reason given for it was that the roads are convinced that the cattle business is demoralized at present and that the service on the railroads is poor s a result of the floods, and that as a result an increase in freight' rates might not be warranted at this time. The roads simply postpone them in definitely, however, claiming the right to advance the rartes whenever they see fit. The only testimony introduced by the railroads was a single schedule present ed by H. H. Embry. general freight agent of the Ilock Island lines west of the Missouri river. This schedule was to prove that the cattle rates in Kan sas are lower than those in other states. Not only will the old rates on cattle be continued, but on hogs and other classes of live stock as well. The new tariff proposed a slight advance on nearly all kinds of live stock. The cattle shippers placed only two witnesses on the stand today. Tne first was George Donaldson of Marion, one of the big shippers of that part of the late. The other was M. C. Campb.ll of Wichita, chairman of the state live htoi k sanitary commission. and a hea-y cattle shipper. Donaldson testified that liis freight charges have been advanc ing during the past five or six years, mid Campbell testified that tne pro- posed tariff would make his freight rates from seven to ten dollars a car higher than they were under the old car load rates. B. I'. Waggcner then asked for a brief recess to allow the railroad men to confer. They were out about fifteen minuus. When they came back M. A. Low put Mr. Embry on the stand to introduce the schedule comparing Kan sas cattle rates with those in other states. This was to combat the sched ule which had been previously intro duced by the cattle shippers to prove that the Kansas rates are higher than those of neighboring states. Tlv schedule prepared by the cattle shipnns compared the rate from towns a given distance from Kansas City "with the rate fiom towns in other i. sMfs the same distance from the point of destination. The schedule introduced by the railroad companies figured on a difftl'ent basis. It compared the rates per ton per mile. A list of twenty-two towns on the Hock Island in Kansas was asiven and the cattle rate per ton per mile under the old rate from these towns was shown to be 1.36 cents; and under the proposed rate 1.455 cents. Compared with this was given a list of twenty-two towns on the- Rock ls yland in Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, giving the rate to Chicago, and show ing that the rate per ton per mile is 1.52- cents. A similar list of towns on the Chicago. Milwaukee fc St. Paul in Illinois. Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota with the rate to Chicago was given to show that the rate ppp ton per mile on that road Is 1.60:1 cents. A similar schedule showed that the rate per ton per mile on the Chicago Northwestern Is l.SSl rents. Mr. Low then arose and said: "In view of the bad state of the .cattle market at present, and in view of the fart thHt the service is not what it should be, which the roads fully ac knowledge, the defendants have agreed to postpone for a time putting into effect the new rate schedule, reserving the right, however, to put the same into effect whenever conditions justify it." (J. W. Robison, president of the State Cattlemen's association thanked the railroad companies for their action on behalf of his association. Then Paul Morton, second vice president of the fr'anta Fe. went over practically the same ground us Mr. Ixiw and in addi tion told the rattle shippers that the railroads proposed to give them the best service they could, that the roads ap preciated the business of the cattlemen end did not wish to deal unjustly with them. This ends the cattle rate case so far an t present complaint is concerned, and tt'zOm thf roads reserved the right to Hl 41 III GIVE UP. advance the rates whenever they believe conditions will justify it. it is not be lieved that another advance will be at tempted. It is the general opinion among the shippers that the railroad companies do net want the precedent established o the board of railroad commissioners es trhlishing a rate and having the courts upheld it. and they were afraid the cat He men had too good a case against th'in. If the state board of railroad commission?! s have a right to fix rates on a complaint entered by a class of shippers against all roads in common, there is no teding where the rates would end. LATE TESTIMONY. The board of railroad commissioners overruled the objections of the railroad attorneys, made at the opening of the hearing, that the board had no jurisdic tion of the case. T. M. POTTER TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT CATTLE FREIGHT RATES. P. H. Landrigan, of Eureka, was the first witness introduced bv the cattle shippers. Mr. Landrigan is one of the largest shippers in the state. He and his brother together handle approxi mately fifty thousand head of cattle In some years, so that the question of railroad rates is an important one to him. He does not, of course, feed this many cattle, but he buys them for the market in addition to feeding them him self. Mr. Landrigan testified that the pro posed rate from Eureka to Kansas City makes an increase of two cents a hun dred pounds in the rate. In addition he said that the service is the poorest he has ever known. It is necessary, he said, to load cattle at Eureka on Sat urday night in order to get them on Monday's market in Kansas City, some thing that was never necessary before. He laid the. blame for the poor service on the fact that the railroads are try ing to haul too much tonnage at a time, makinar their trains too long. On crow -examination the railroad attor neys brought out the fact that the con ditions since the flood may have con siderable to do with the poor service, and this seems to be generally admit ted, although the statement was made by some of the witnesses that the poor service began some time before the flood. The cattlemen testified that It is necessary to get the cattle unloaded at Kansas City by 9 o'clock in the morn ing In order to be sure that they would be sold the same day, but the delays frequently prevented them from being unloaded by this time, and as a result they would not be sold until the next day, entailing great shrinkage and con sequent loss on the shipper. Mr. Landrigan also introduced a schedule comparing the cattle rates from various points in Kansas to Kan sas City with rates from points approx imately the same distance from Kansas City in other states, showing that Kan sas rates are considerably higher than the rates in other states, even at the present tariff.

Mr. Potter is known all over Kansas. He was once a candidate for the Repub lican nomination for governor and has been more or less active In state politic! for a number of years. His testimony was largely along the same line as that of Mr. Landrigan. He testified that the new tariff will increase his freight charges on rattle from Peabody to Kan sas City about $3 a car. He also pre sented a schedule showing how the new tariff will affect the rates from 30 Kan sas towns as compared with the old car load rate which was in effect up to two years ago. The average Increase from (Continued on Page Six.) PHILIPPINE MONEY. More Thn Ten Million Coins Shipped to Manila. Philadelphia. Sept. 3. Under escort of a strong guard 10,465.000 silver coins, aggregating $928,650, were shipped to day from the United States mint to New; York where they will be placed on board a steamship and taken to Ma nila. The coins were packed in 430 heavy wooden kegs each weighing 300 pounds when filled. The shipments comprised 210.000 pesos. $105,000: 1.600,000 fifty cen tavos, $400,000; 2,350.000 twenty cen tavos. $235,000 3.500,000 ten rentavos, $175,000; 325,000 five rentavos. $8,125: 680.000 one rentavos, $3,400; 850.000 two rentavos, $2,125. It was officially announced that fur ther coinage of money for the Philip pines would be temporarily suspended until the mint employes caught up on the coinage of minor and subsidiary money for the fall trade In the United States. KELLY WONT ACCEPT. Will Not Test Reliability of Figures bj Resignation. State Treasurer Kelly will not ac cept Morton Albaugh's challenge to stake his office on the correctness of his taxation figures, Mr. Albaugh to do the same, leaving the decision to any supreme judge whom Mr. Kelly may choose. Mr. Kelly refers to the chal lenge as "Albaugh's bluff." If he has confidence in his own figures he could very readily find out if it is a bluff. Mr. Kelly made a bluff of his own in Miami county last year and it cost him a thousand dollars. If he thinks Mr. Albaugh is bluffing this is a good op portunity to prove it by retiring Al baugh to private life. Mr. Kelly and his apologists have trouble in reading correctly the statute regarding this year's tax levy. The sttute states explicitly that there shall be raised "for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, NOT EXCEEDING the sum of two and one-half million dol lars." Mr. Kelly and his defenders are trying to make out that this means that the board of equalization abso lutely must raise two and a half mil lion dollars. They always overlook those words, "not exceeding." They have put the tax levy up as near the maximum figure as possible, when it might have been much lower. In fact, instead of raising the asses sed valuation 24 million dollars and in creasing the tax levy nine-tenths of a mill, the state board of equalization could have raised ample funds for pay ing the expenses of the state by accept ing the assessments made by the asses sors and then lowering the levy five tenths of a mill. This action, however, would not have given the state treas urer from a half million to a million dollars excess state funds to keep in the banks. Another fact which Mr. Kelly and his apologists attempt to cover up is the fact that about $400,000 of the appro priations each year Is never called for, therefore it is not expended and does not have to be raised. NO SPECIFIC ACT. Ground on Which Railway Man agers Are Acquitted. Newark, X. J., Sept. 3. Chief Justice Gummer in the Essex county court an nounced that he had decided to grant the motion for dismissal of indictment for manslaughter against the directors and officials of the North Jersey Street Railway company, who were accused of having by alleged neglect of their duties caused the death of Ernestine Miller. Miss Miller, who was a high school pu pil, was killed with eight others in the Clifton avenue crossing accident on Feb ruary 10. The motion to dismiss the indictment was made at the trial yesterday by Richard V. Lindaury of counsel for the defendants. In instructing the jury to find a ver dict of not guilty the chief justice said that in order to hold the defendants criminally responsible it must be shown that they had failed to perform some specific act. This the state had failed to do, he said. BRIGHTER PROSPECTS. Blue Rapids Recovering from Flood Damages. Blue Rapids, Kan., Septi 3. The Blue Rapids Milling and Elevator company has incorporated with a paid yp capital of $25. (ino with the following stockholders: P. and A. Anderson, J. L. Barnes, C. E. Mc Afee and .S A. Barnes. They have bought the elevator on the Missouri Pacific track and will build east of the elevator on Main street. The land where the Ander son elevator stood by the river has been cut awav by the late rise and the mill is almost unapproachable, so the new com pany was formed and will do business over a mile from the river, although they expect to use the water power when re stored, if ever.' if not they will put in a suitable engine. They expect to be run ning in 90 i)ava. A ferry has been built bv the citizens for the convenience of the farmers. The new dam stands intact, but the banks at each end are badly cut. $40,oda00O"TO"SPARE But Secretary Shaw Says the Banks Won't Get It Now. Chicago. Sept. 3. The published re port that government deposits in na tional banks are to be materially in creased is declared by Secretary of the TreffPury Leslie M. Shawfto be un founded. Secretary Shaw today made the following statement: "I notice some newspaper accounts to the effect that I am to increase de posits of public money to the extent of $40,000,000. It is true I have. $40,000,000 available for deposits if conditions should hereafter render it expedient to make so large an increase. For the present I am accepting only applica tions for small amounts that have been on file for several months and am con fining these to agricultural distrirts." Temperatures of Large Cities.

Reliance Will Win Today's Race Very Handily. Spanking Breeze Sends the Boats Swiftly Along. SHAMROCK IS BEHIND. Lipton's Yacht Did Best Work at the Start But the American Soon Cut Out the Face. Was a Mile Ahead at the Turn ing Point. New York. Sept. 3.-12:30 d. m.C on- ditions constantly improving. Wind now blowing 7 miles an hour and foe- almost dissipated. Xi-.iO p. m. Yachts have drODDed their tows and, are standing about the start ing line. Both yachts have up large top oaiis ana inree tower sans. As the yachts can be dimly seen maneuvering about the lightshiD it is evident that a start will be made at 1 o'clock. The course will be 15 miles to windward and return. 12:56 p. m. Both yachts after stand ing for line on starboard tack were round and head back for the lightship. They were close together. Starting time, unofficial: Reliance, 1:01:10; Shamrock, 1:01:14. 1:14 p. m. Reliance in the first quar ter hour worked into a position an eighth of a mile to windward. 1:21 p. m. The yachts are still hold ing for the Jersey shore. Reliance seems to be making her usual gains. Wind very light and they have sailed scarcely a mile of the course. 1:25 p. m. The wind seems to be in creasing off shore and the yachts are beginning to increase their speed. Reliance has a lead of half af mile and is well to windward. 1:44 Wind has freshened to about 8 knots and has worked around until It is a little eaet of south. 2:00 p. m. Yachts have covered half the distance to the outer mark. Wind has freshened to nine miles. Reliance maintains her lead, and is outpointing Shamrock. New York 2:10 p. m. Official time of start: Reliance, 1:01:36; Shamrock, 1:02:00. 2:17 p. m. Reliance is still increasing her lead and is outpointing Shamrock by three-quarters of a point. Both yachts heeling well over to the, freshen ing breeze. 2:30 p. m. Reliance is slowly eating her way to windward and now leads by fully three-quarters of a mile. 2:40 p. m. Course fce'lng sailed is due south, 15 miles and. return. 8:55 p. m. A delayed Marconi dis patch savs that when the boats were half way to the outer mark Reliance was half a mile dead to windward and gainins. By Marconi. Off Long Branch Re liance is leading by one mile. New York, Sept. 3. Both boats have turned the outer mark. New York. Sept. 3. With a fog heavier than on any previous morning, and but a five mile wind from the northward, the conditions this morning for the fourth attempt this week to sail the third of the series of the international yacht races were far from ideal. The wind at 8:35 was reported offi cially at Sandy Hook at five miles. The sun, too. began to break through the mist and it then began to clear rapidly. Soon it was possible to see half a mile or more, blue skies were in evidence and the prospects of a race were more encouraging than on any previous day this week. At 9:30 Reliance started for the light ship in tow. At that time the wind, according to the official observer, had dropped to three miles an hour from the northeast. Eight minutes later Shamrock left also in tow. When the yachts reached the lightship the wind had hauled around to the southeast and was blowing about five miles an hour. It was clearing gradu ally but the fog was still so heavy that at 10:35 the committee boat Navigation signalled a postponement of the start until later in the day. The prepartory gun was fired at 12:45 and the warning gun 10 minutes later. The American boat crossed about a min ute after the starting gun was fired, fol lowed four seconds later by Shamrock. The yachts had not sailed many minutes before the wind began to strengthen. The yachts made smart sailing in the fresher wind, traveling well and looking high to windward. Reliance had out sailed her adversary on the port tack and when Shamrock went about on star board tack at 2:08, a move which Reli ance duplicated five seconds later, the latter was more than half a mile in the lead and almost as far dead to wind ward. At half past 2 the indications were that the yachts would turn the outer mark within another hour, which would gi-e them three houis within which to make the run home. New York, Sept. 3 (by tug). The start was a nrettv one, four seconds only separating the boats as they crossed the line, Reliance ahead and Shamrock to windward. The official time was: Reliance. 1:01:36; Shamrock. 1:02. The honors of the start were with Captain Wringe. the skipper of the challenger. He not only tooK tne wina ward berth, but he gauged the time to a nicety, and crossed the line ex actly at the expiration of the two min utes allowed Detore ine nanaicao gun. Then after crossing the line the Brit isher exercised good judgment and split tacks from imrt to starboard and before five minutes of the race had been saile I, he was in the'lead as well as to the windward. Shamrock's advantage, how ever, was not long lived, for Reliance pointing higher, passed the Lipton boat and took the lead. TOPEKA MEN STRIKE. Find a Big Oil Well Property. on Chanute The Franklin Oil company of Topeka has struck it rich at Chanute. A 150 barrel well was brought in Wednesday on the company's 160 acre tract south east of Chanute, and the owners say that the well is one of the bes in the entire district. The members ot the Franklin company who own all of the 160 acres of land, and .who have no stock to sell, are J. S. Parks. C. S. Downing. H. L, Shirer, Willard Hall, F. P. MacLennan and John F. Alford. Mr. Alford has Just returned from the scene of the suc cessful drilling. Speaking of the well he said today: "We have a thicker stratum of oil sand than is found anywhere else in the vicinity. When the well was pen the oil spurted out in a six-inch stream 20 feet above the top of the derrick. The derrick is 60 feet high. The well Is now capped and is under full con trol. We have sent in our order for a tank to contain the oil. and on next Monday morning will commence drill ing a new well. The men are now mov ing the derrick. There is room on our land for 50 wells. The pipe line of the Standard Oil company is only a mile and a half from our property, and as soon as we have our tank ready and filled, the line will be extended. Then the Standard Oil company will send its gauger to our well, measure tne oil in our tank and it will be piped off. We will install-machinery for pumping the oil out of the wells as rapidly as possible, though for our first well ho nsichinery will be needed. It will flow in of its own strenth. "Our company was one of the pioneers in the Chanute field, and we feel that we are now getting our reward." SULTAN SPEAKS. Contrary to AH Precedent He Addresses Visitors. Constantinople, Sept, 3. On the anni versary of his accession Tuesday, the sultan received in audience at the palace the heads of the religious communities and the patriarch made a speech of congratulations. In reply thereto, after thinking the patriarch and the others present for their good wishes, the suit m contrary to precedent, spoke at some length, as follows: "All my desire is for the welfare of the population, without distinction of race or religion. As to the detestable and regrettable deeds to which the pat riarch alluded, I am convinced that the movement does not proceed spontane ously from the population, but is insti gated from abroad. I hope the measures taken will insure tranquility. I call God to witness the sincerity of my de claration and that all my aspirations and work are for the welfare and pros perity of all mysubjects." Turning then to the Bulgarian patri arch, the sultan bade him communicate his words to his flock. Next addressing, the Greek patriarch the sultan said he regretted that the Greek population had also suffered from the recent troubles and declared he would be pleased to contribute to the subscriptions being raised in the patri archate in behalf of the sufferers. The sultan fuitner remarked that he was very sorry that some of the soldiers had been guilty of acts contrary to his or ders and desire. The sultan personally assured Mon signor Ormanian. the Armenian patri arch, that his words applied to the Ar menian as well as to the people of other nationalities. The porte's note of warning to the em bassies and legations informing them that, according to police information the Bulgarian agitators were projecting out rages against the embassies, legations and public buildings in Constantinople, saying the Ottoman government had ta ken precautions and requesting the heads of the foreign missions to do like wise, was issued in consequence of the receipt at the Russian embassy of an anonymous letter threatening outrages at the winter residences of the Russian ambassador and consul general. BIG DROP IN COTTON. Government Crop Report Starts a Bear Movement. New York, Sept. 3. Not since the ex citement early in the bull campaign has been anything to equal the excite ment which attended the publication of the government crop condition report in today's cotton market. The figures 81.2 reflect an improvement in condition for the month of 2.4 per cent., and are 18.1 per cent, above those of last year. The statement proved better than expected and was followed ly a rush of liquida tion that carried prices off sharply. Early in the day the market had shown a declining tendency and prices at noon were about 6 to 15 points lower. In less than ten minutes after the report was read September sold at $11.13, Oc tober at $10.20. December at $9.95 and January at $9.92, these being net losses of from 12 to 26 points. Then realizing by early sellers relieved the strain and led to slight recoveries, with the mar ket very irregular and unsettled. MANY TELEGRAMS Congratulating the President on His Escape. Oyster Bay, L. I., Sept. 3. President Roosevelt received today many tele grams congratulating him upon his es cape from the hands of Henry Weil brenner. the insane farmer.

GoTernment Cables Additional Instructions to Bogota. Washington, Sept. 3 Additional In structions have been cabled Mr. Beau pre, American minister at Bogota, re iterating the position of this govern ment regarding the canal treaty. The state department assumes entire re sponsibility for every representation of Mr. Beaure to the Bogota government concerning the treaty and his activity in this direction is beartily endorsed by the president and Secretary Hay. Min ister Beaupre's latest instructions ad vise him that President Roosevelt will not enter into any engagement with the Colombian government which will ham per bis scoiie of action under the law. His government will not indicate what its course of action' will be in the event the treaty is rejected. Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge will be asked as to the truth of his re ported criticism of Minister Beaupre's activity at Bogota. The alleged critic ism by Mr. Herran was not well receiv ed at the state department. WICHITA VICTIMS. Buy an Order of Soap and Get a Bed Thrown In. Wichita, Kan., Sept. 3. C. W. Ander son, alias C. W. Robertson, who waf arrested at the instance of Kansas City detectives last week for passing himself off as an agent of the N. K. Fairbank Soap company, and who was held here to answer to a charge of obtaining mon ey under false pretenses, is again in trouble. Two warrants were sworn out for him Wednesday in each of which the same charge is made, that he rep resented himself to be an agent of the soap company, and sold boxes of soap at an exorbitant price, but with each $5 order agreed to give as a premium a bedroom suit, springs and mattress. Elizabeth Thurm and C. B. Prince are the latest alleged vic tims. Anderson was released on a $300 bond pending his pre liminary hearing in the first case and it is said that he continued the same kind of operations within the last week, onlv dealing in a different soap made by an other company. The date named in the last warrants is July 21, and the premi ums were to have been delivered two days later, but they failed to show up. It is probable, so the authorities say, that still other complaints will be filed against Anderson. HANNA IS OUT. Senator Will Enter Campaign September 1!). Cleveland, O., Sept. 3.

Prior to the formal assembling, the commissioners met in their private conference room and se lected Reginald Tower of the British diplomatic service, formerly attached to the legation at Washington and re cently minister to Siam, to be secretary of the commission. J. R. Carter, sec ond secretary of the United States em bassy and Mr. Pope, a representative of the Canadian government were ap pointed assistant secretaries. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone was subse quently chosen chairman of the com mission. The conference room of the foreign office where the commissioners met i the choicest apartment in the British public buildings. It is magnificent sa lon with Gothic celling and panelled walls.and has been the scene of many notable gatherings, t was used by the late Lady Salisbury to receive- the guests after the late Salisbury's dinners to the diplomatic corps. At the end of the room a platform harj.been con structed and on it v as a lorg desk with a blue covering. Behind this desk were six comfortable chairs, which were oc cupied by the commissioners, whose in ternational reputatiors emphasized the importance of the occasion. Elihu Root and Lord Alverstone sat in the center. Separate tables were provided for counsel. Canadian counsel were the first to arrive in the chamber. They were followed by John W. Foster, for mer secretary of state and his assist ants, who were accompanied by Am bassador Choate. The commissioners came in a few minutes later and im mediately began a private conference, which resulted in the selection of the officers and at which they exchanged credentials and took the oath required by the treaty. A few minutes after 11 o'clock the commission took their seats. Senator Turner on the extreme right, then Prof. Sir Louis Jette, "fonerly of the super ior court of Quebec, lieutenant gov rnor of the province of Quebec and piuiBnot ui t 1 1 law, jvAi. nuui, liuiu Alverstone, Senator Lodge, A. B. Atles worth, who succeeded the late Justio Armour of Canada on the commission; Mr. Foster and Clifford Sifton, Canad ian minister of the interior. The agents of the respective governments sat at desks on the extreme right and left of the commission, while counsel and the stenographers occupied desksfacing the commissioners. Lord Alverstone, after formally an nouncing that the commission was ia l session, stating that he had been select- .3 Aa rroatcnt n hnnot which he highly appreciated, asked counsel when they desired to begin the oral argu ments. Sir Robert B. Flnlay, the attorney general in behalf of the British counsel, suggested that at least two weeks would be required for preparation, to which Judge John M. Dickinson, rep resenting the American counsel.assent ed though he said the American con sul would be ready in a week. Lord Alverstone asked when the oral argu ments would be finished and Attorney General Finlay suggested October 15. but his lordship remarked that he thought a shorter period was advisable and October 9 was fixed upon. The commission decided to sit five days per week, commencing September 15, and excluding Saturdays, and to be in session from 11 a. m. to 4 p. m. daily, and granted permission for a limited number of representtaives ot the press to attend the sittings. In order that the presentation of the cases may be exhaustive it has been arranged that three of counsel for earh government shall make arguments, the British opening and being followed al ternately by Americans and British, the former securing the advantage de livering the closing argument. The commission then removed the In junction of secrecy on all documents hitherto exchanged, and the sitting wis adiourned, the commissioners agents and counsel proceeding to the Quad rangle, where they were photographed. The documents covering the American presentation of the case are comprised in three volumes, making a total of about 1.100 pages. In addition there are also two volumes of maps. The largest of the volumes of text contains the original statement by the Americaft commissioners, while one of the smaller volumes presents the American countei' case in rejoinder to the British case and the other argument of the American commissioners. In the first volume the question at is sue, namely what is intended to be the point of commencement of that line of demarkatirm between the United States and Canada: what is the Portland chan nel, what course the line should take to the entrance of that channel: to what point of the 56th parallel the line should be drawn from the head of Portland channel, and other familiar questions are discussed. There also is extensive dis cussion of the extent of the strip of territory along the coast on the main land that Russia conveyed to the United States by tbe treaty of 1867. It appears from the documents that Great Britain concedes that the line begins at Cape Muzon. The United States contends that It was the Intention ot the powers which signed the treaty of 1825 to confirm in full sovereignty to Russia a continuous strip or lisiere along the continental Fhores of the northwest roast of Amer ica extending from Portland canal to the 141st meridian of longitude west of Greenwich and that such Ftrip was to be 10 marine leagues measured from the beads of all gulfs and other arms of the sea. unless there was within that dis tance a range of mountains. The con tention is further made that there Is no such mountain range. It also is urged (Continued on Page Six.) r

Some fire brick made from shale dug out of the ground within nine miles of Hutchinson proves that Reno county will have a new industry in the future which will equal and probably surpass any other manufacturing resource in the county at the present time, with the single ex ception of salt. The-itorlck were taken from the Missouri Pacific freight depot this morning after having been there for some time. They ;ere lost in tran sit during the time of the high water over the eastern part of the state and have only recently been found. Last April Tom Burtch, of this city, went in the vicinity of Medora and dug a hole in the ground. Jiurtch is some thing of a prospector and knows things about soil and shale that many other people do not. He dug the first hole and the second, and many others were dug after this until he tound what he was looklns for, a brick shale. There were qualities of shale out there which looked good, but one place especially was of that quality of which the best lire brick in this country are made. Mr. Burtch and P. B. Price went out to the iilace one morning and packed a barrel with the shale and shipped it to the American Clay Working Ma chinery company, of Bucyrus, Ohio, and the stuff was made into brick. There were two kinds of shale, one making a red and the other a light buff colored brick. Some of the red shale was made into pocket size bricks and were mailed to Mr. Burtch. and he has had them for many months. The light colored nhale was made Into a full-sized brick nd these are the ones received todav. They are fine looking and are good for all purposes excepting for vitrified pav inr brick.

Neodesha Register. LIGHTNING AND FIRE. Wheat Stacks Destroyed Around St. Francis. Lightning struck the wheat stacks of Thomas Cole of Jefferson last Friday af ternoon and burned up ten stacks repre senting from 800 to 1.000 bushels of wheat. The stubble and prairie took fire and burned off to the northwest a distance of five miles, destroying a large area of range and when it reached W. H. Smith's place it destroyed a lot of straw and 400 bushels of wheat for him. This put other farmers in the notion of protecting their grain stacks. On bun day Mr. Knapp over In the border of Raywlins county undertook to burn around his stacks. The fire got away from him and burned up an immense amount of stacked grain for John Ren eau in this county and his brother across the line in Rawlins. It is too bad after a good crop has been raised and saved to see it destroyed in this manner, and the destruction falls heavily on the losers. St. Francis Eagle. THOUGHT HE WAS BOSS BOT.

"Ed" Harrison. 40 years old, was found dead in his room in the Augusta hotel, having committed suicide by choking himself with a stout cord. He wag last seen alive Sunday night. Papers containing the accounts of the Wlnfield tragedy of two weeks ago, and of the Jessie Morrison murder case, both of which have been favorite topics of conversation with him, were found near him.

He long had imagined himself to be the long lost Charley Ross, and frequently entertained strangers with stories of his kidnapping. Often in the past detectives have visited him to hear the story from his own lips and to see if he really were the man for whom thoy have been searching so long.

Only four of last year's team have left the gridirod, though a fifth, Tripp, left tackle, may leave the Uni versity of Chicago to go to Yale. It Is felt among the "fans," who are already casting up anti-secesh dope, that never before, not even in 1899, were Chicago's chances of winning the Western cham pionship and lowering the colors of Michigan so bright. The probable line-up of the team, fig uring only on the men who are sure to be back, and leaving out of considera tion the men who will enter with the freshman class, is as follows: Right end, Catlin; right tackle. Parry, Gale; right guard, R. Maxwell. Buckley; cen ter, Ellsworth (Captain), Burrows; left guard, Ahlswede, Buckley; left tackle, Terry Tripp (if he remains); left end, Speik; quarter back, L. Maxwell, Mc Millan Hitchcock; right half back, Schnur, Jennison; left half back, Ivison, Bezdek; full back. Wightman.

Fifteen thousand persons, attracted by the principal contest of the Grand circuit meeting here the $10,000 stake for 2:11 class pacers gathered at Narragansett park and saw Star Hal, a brown horse owned by W. L. Snow, of Hornellsville, capture the race and the purse in three straight heats. Seven horses faced the starter, King Direct being favorite, with Elastic pointer secend choice. Before the horses had reached the first quarter Star Hal took the pole and led a procession to the head of the stretch, where he was overhauled by Miss Willamont and King Direct, the latter driven by Geers. The finish saw the three horses so near ly abreast that the Judges' decision was necessary to convince the crowd that Hal was the winner. King Direct fought for supremacy through the entire second heat, but he was obliged to take second place to Star Hal, who won by a narrow mar gin in 2:06,the fastest time made dur ing the day. The card of the day consisted of four races, and the unfinished 2:19 trot of Tuesday, in which Navldad and Cole Direct each had two heats to their credit. Navidad took the deciding heat and the race in a masterly fashion. Caspian, the favorite in the 3:25 trot, captured the first two heats without difficulty, and the third affair was a struggle with Texs. who forced him to cover the mile In 2:11. The 2:10 trot, with the starters, and the 2:13 pace, with twelve, furnished the surprises of the day, outsiders win ning both. In the latter race Frank Wilson, the favorite, was drawn after he had gone two poor miles, because of illness. Johnny Wiseman, a Wilkes horse owned in New Hampshire, after coming sixth in the first heat, got the next two and the race in driving fin ishes with Rockport and Knox's Gelatine Lad. THE IRON MAN TALKS. McGinnity, the Great Pitcher, Tells How to Prevent Sore Arms. New York, Sept. 3. Team work of muscles, "Iron Man" McGinnity, the pitcher, who never had a lame arm. has it down to a science. The ease and grace with which he de livers the ball, the perfect muscular mechanism that he has developed, with no snap, or tearing, wearing strain to the tender ligaments or muscles of his "salary whip," have made Joe McGin nity the pitching wonder of the decade. In explaining the secret of his success and wonderful endurance, McGinnity told the following interesting story: "After I had had a year's experience in the big league I saw those speedy, highswinging pitchers dropping by the wayside year after year, and I said to myself: 'Here, Joe, if you are going to stay in baseball long you want to get a motion that will save that old bread winner."

Only for Dr. Stephens' victory the result would have been the prize upset of the meeting, as The Don, at 25 to 1, was second, and Lady Jocelyn, at 100 to 1, third, while Sidney C. Love, the heavily backed favorite, was a bad fourth. Duchess Hanna was made the medium of a successful coup in the first race, in which her owners won $20,000.

An attempt was made by Mr. Billings to drive The Monk and Equity to pole to beat the team record of 2:124. The pair driven by Charles Tanner trotted the first half in 1:36. Then when victory was close at hand The Monk broke and the pair finished in 2:124, one quarter of a second behind the record. An hour later they made another attempt, equaling their time of the first heat. Between trials Mr. Bil lings purchased Equity of A. EL. Perren of Syracuse. Jt'Vey Arrested. San Francisco, Sept. 3.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTRSAU THURSDAY EVENINGS. SEPTEMBER 3, 1903. RAILROADHEVS. San Bernardino Wants Santa Fe Hospital. Unions Will Begin a Systematic Campaign. PAYS $500 A MONTH. Town Makes Large Contribution to Hospital Support. Tlace Needed for Use In Emer gency Cases. San Bernardino, Cal., Sept. 3. The Santa Fe employes in San Bernardino are to make a determined fight for a local hospital service. The campaign is to be started among the several railway unions in this city and it is the purpose of the men to know no such word as defeat. They are positive that they are In a Just cause and will UBe every effort in their power to prevail upon the Santa Fe officials and Santa Fe Hospital as sociation to grant permission for a service in S.m Bernardino. It is proposed that a building be rent-il in the city suitably located and properly fitted up. This is to contain at le.ist six beds and all other appoint ments necessary in an emergency hos pital. The services of one or more surgeons and as many nurses will be secured, so that there will be no chance of a patient lying unattended for an unreasonable length of time owing to the inability of the doctor to attend him. It will nut be necessary to go to the expense of paying surgeons exclu sively to look after Santa Fe men, but lather hire them with an option on tht ir services, so to sneak. Some have raised the question as to whether or not the hospital associa tion would consent to such a proposi tion, owing to thei expense attached. It has been estimated that the local em ployes pay over $500 into the associa tion treasury every month. What could not be done in the way of maintaining n suo-hospital service with that sum at their disposal each month? Th.; move now on foot should not be confused with an attempt to prevail upon the Santa Fe to build its proposed Coast line hospital in San Bernardino. Although no official announcement has as yet been made to the contrary, it is not thought that the new building will be built here. The men are satisfied that they have lost on that Issue. They are therefore the more determined that a branch building be located in this city. GANGS OF FORGERS. Ticket Manipulators Doing Big Busi ness at Denver, Colo. Ticket scalpers have had a harvest In Denver this summer as a result of the extraordinary heavy travel inspired by the cheap excursion rates. The Re publican says that since the beginning of the summer travel Denver has been made the headquarters of a gang of ticket forgers, who have simply made life miserable for their victims and the railroads as well. Fully 500 complaints be been lodged against these men, and it is the plan now to drive them out of tne state. The Republican continues: "The boldness of some of the operations has staggered the credulity of the oldest scalpers. As an instance, one of the brokers sold a woman who was too sick to do anything but keep from fainting, a ticket over the Colorado Midland line for Cripple Creek. The ticket was the return ;iart of one issued from that station at least six years ago. When presented to the conductor he was about taken oft his feet. The woman had no money and was too sick to be removed from the train. The plan of operation is to take unexpired tickets and by a skilful manipulation make them appar ently legitimate tickets. Erasures are made of their destinations and where the dates and other details are punched in the tickets, the places are fixed up in the same way that checks are fixed and new punches and destinations made on the tic kets. An instance of this style of forgery was complained of by a passen ger on the Midland road recently. An unexpired ticket, the return part of a ticket from Colorado City to Denver, was made to read to Leadville from Denver. The punchmarks were cleverly filled up with pulped paper, colored to match, and the destination marks erased with chemicals and forged to the desti nation desired. In this case the passen ger lost his ticket and was rorced to pay his fare. In most cases the victims selected are people whom the brokers know will not have the means to return lo Denver and make a claim for the refunding of their money. When it is done, and there are several instances of this, the money has been returned to avoid trouble. A harvest has been reap ed by the sang." GOULD VS. HAEEIMAN. Great Railroad Rivals Will Clash on the Pacific Coast. Chicago. Sept. 3. It was reported to day that the Could interests have com pleted all their arrangements to'' reach the Pacific toast. The plans adopted are now said to be much more compre hensive than were at one time suo posed, and will offer keen comnetition to the Harriman system at all points now covered by it. The tioulds, it is now stated, will not be content with reaching San Francisco and being com petitors for California traffic. They will have lines reaching up to Coos Bay. Ore., and other north Pacific points now touched by the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company and the Oregon Short Line. Should these reports prove true the action will, it is believed, create great er antagonism between the Gould and Harriman interests than now exists, though it !s reported to be quite keen. The Harrlmsm interests are likely to recent any attempt to Invade their ter ritory that may be made, and may show their resentment indirectly by an tagonizing the Gould interests In other oirections. where they are not them selves so directly interested.

IT OFFENDS THE WHITES. Railroad Must Keep Negroes Out of Texas Dining Cars. The Texas railroad commission has sent the following communication to the general manager of the Fort Worth Denver City railway: "Dear Sir I deem it a duty to call your sttention to a complaint with ref erence to a practice on the Fort Worth Denver City railway, which, if con tinued, will no doubt reduce the travel on your road. It Is officially complained of that the proprietor or manager of the dining car service on your line permits negroes to dine in these cars with white people, and that a number of white peo ple left the tables and car on that ac count, declaring they would not again travel on that road when other routes are available. "We do not claim jurisdiction for the railroad commission on this subject. Technically speaking, the revised stat utes may not include dining cars, but undoubtedly the spirit of the law would seem to demand separate dining car ser vice as well as separate chairs and sleeping car service. "We are aware that it may be said by the manager of that service that no white person is compelled to eat on that train or in that car. This is also true of the chair and sleeping car service, and yet people leave home (Jesiring and expecting to avail themselves of the comforts of this service, and are not therefore prepared with lunch baskets, or possibly with a few extra quarters to pay persons to serve them in the sleeper or chair car. "Passengers generally are informed that they cannot be served with meals except in the dining car, but generally an extra quarter revokes this rule. Tlus is the first complaint of the sort that has come to us, and it is a verbal and informal one, and we think it is of suf ficient importance to call your attention to it. Unless the practice is discontin ued the commission will take up the question as to whether it has power to correct the abuse. Very respectfully, "L. J. STOREY, Chairman." ROSEBERY OFFERS FRIZES. English Earl Will Give Medals for Best Railroad Essays. The Earl of Rosebery has offered to give annually a gold medal to the em ploye of the Great Northern railway, in England, who will write the best essay on a railway subject. The general man ager is to select each year a list of 13 subjects, to be issued on July 1. In order to give opportunity to all departments of the service, there will be a wide range of subjects. The official circular issued by the railway company provides as follows: "Employes of the Great Northern company, whose age does not exceed 35 at the date of the publication of each year's list, will be eligible to compete, and they may select as a sub ject any one (but not more than one) of the 12 issued annually. In addition to the gold medal, a silver medal and di ploma will be given to the author of the best essay on each of the eleven re maining subjects. The essays will be judged by the general manager. If technical works are referred to or quo ted, the author's name must be given. The subjects for the year 1903 are as follows: (1) Permanent Way, Construc tion and Maintenance; (2) Electric Trac tion for Railways; (3) Light Railways as Feeders to Main Lines; 4) Compound and Simple Locomotives Compared; (5) Workshop Practice in a Railway Work shop; (6) Relative Cost and Efficiency of Vacuum and Pressure Brakes; Econ omical Working of Passenger and Goods Traffic; (8) Economical Working ot coai Traffic; (9) Economic Basis of Railway Rates; (10) The Law on Railways in the T'nited Kingdom; (11) The Function of Railways in Relation to Trade and Commerce; (12) General Principle of Accounts of a Railway." TEAR IT DOWN. Old Missouri Pacific Roundhouse to Be Replaced at Cofloyville. Coffeyville, Kan., Sept. 3. This week will see the demolition of one of the old Missouri Pacific landmarks the old roundhouse. The work on the new roundhouse has been pushed rapidly and though tem porarily lagging because of a shortage of material, will be much farther along toward completion at the end of the week. Two cars of steel beams were un loaded at the yards Tuesday and sev eral more car loads are to come. The steel is coming from the east and is hauled in big stout steel cars that carry 100,000 pounds at each load. Sand is the scarce material and though two car loads came in Monday it lasted but a very shost while. This week when the old round house goes out, the engines will have to be handled and cared for in the yards. The new turn table is being put In and in a day or two the old one will have to be dismantled and the engines will have to be' turned on the 'Y" in the yards. It will be a sort of hand-to-mouth existence for the rolling stock in the yards until the roundhouse and turn table are finished. DIRECTORS CAN'T AGREE. Will the Katy Declare a Dividend on Preferred Slock? The annual statement of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas shows that the sur plus after chaises will show 7.7 per cent on lo.uvfvt.ui'u ot preieti eu siurn a compared with 6.7 per cent last year, lit is faid that the directors of the com !pany are divided on the question !whtther the declaration of a dividend on preferred stock would be a wise measure. It is also stated that interests jln the board think it is time to recog r,ize the stockholders, in view of the ifact that the Katy has spent a great part of its income during the last three tyf-irs in improvements, additions and equipment. The general physical con- aiuon oi tue propeiiy is o" ROCK ISLAND GETS THEM. Machinists Quit the Santa Fe for Better Paying Jobs. Emporia. Kan., Sept. 3. Machinist Dix. who used to work in the Enporia house was here on a visit yesterday. He has been out along the sands, work ing p.t Dodge City and La Junta and lias decided to follow the suit of most of the machirlsts and go to Rock Is land for th? sak of better wages. He is on his way to Herington. BOILERMAKERS' CONFERENCE Santa Fe Coast Line Employes After More Pay. For the past ten days a committee of boilermakers from the local shops has been in Los Angeles in daily conference with General Manager Wells and Act ing Superintendent of Motive Power Lovell with regard to the formation of a new contract, says the San Bernar dino Sun. When the last strike was settled at the shops a contract was drawn up between the company and the men with the understanding that at the expiration of the agreement tne officials would "do the right thing" by the men in a second contract. The old contract expired September 1 and it is for the purpose of arranging the second agreement that the present meetings are being held. That the company is not submitting to the demands of the men without a struggle and that the men are not getting all that they would like to have is evidenced by the fact that ten days have elapsed and the end is not yet. Although the committeemen refuse to talk regarding what is being done at the private conference between them and the officials, it is learned that the company has conceded the boiler- makers 14 a day instead of $3. i5, as is now the case. This, it is said, was ob tained without much trouble, but the question regarding the rights of handy men and the proper place for non- unionists in the shop are not easily set tled. It is expected that a final agree ment will be reached by the end of tms week. TAKE CHARGE AT TOPEKA. Union Pacific to Run Its Own Depot Hotel Here. Omaha, Sept. 3. Beginning October 1 all the eating houses along the line of the Union Pacific railroad will be oper ated by the railroad itself. The Pacific Hotel company, owned by J. E. Markel, which has fed the passengers of the Union Pacific for thirty-two years, will go out of existence. Three years ago the railroad ended its contract with the Pullman people and began operating its own dining cars. The new change will place the entire hotel department direct ly in the hands of the road. There are eleven stations where meals are served, two of these being Topeka and Ellis, Kas.

Quay, Valencia, Union, Lincoln and Otero tributary to the road for distribution and use. Mr. Sebastian finds the bulletins gotten out by the bureau of great value and just the right thing. Wheat Blockade at Junction Oity. Junction City, Kan., Sept. 3. The rail roads have seldom experienced as great a rush here as they are having at pres ent and not infrequently are the Union Pacific yards in a blocked condition with cars of wheat. For more than a week the road has been making up extra trains that take east more than 200 car loads of wheat each day. On account of the increased traffic many trainmen here have been promoted. Katy Will Use Santa fe Depot Guthrie, O. T.. Sept. 3. H. U. Mudge, general manager of the Santa Fe, today announced that the Missouri, Kansas Texas railroad would have the privilege of entering the Santa Fe passenger sta tion at this place. A number of roads already use the Santa Fe's terminal fa cilities at Guthrie. It is expected trains over the Katy will be running in here regulaily soon. Old Conductor Let Out. Emporia, Kas., Sept 3. One of the oldest Santa Fe conductors in the ser--iee was let out a few days ago for running ahead of orders. The train dispatcher's schedule was too slow for him, and he started out on his own hook. There was no wreck as a result, further than wrecking the conductor's iob.

Would Make Rate 6 Per Cent Instead of 10. Chicago, Sept 3. Two hundred busi ness men from all parts of the country listened to Secretary of Treasury Shaw talk on "The Business Outlook" at a banquet given last night at the Audi torium hotel by the National Associa tion of Merchants and Travelers. Lyman A. Gage addressed the associ ation on the same subject just before his retirement from the treasury depart ment and great interest was attached to the speech of Secretary Shaw. In his discussion of the financial question Sec retary Shaw declared that what was needed was not an elastic dollar but some provisions by which, automatical ly the aggregate volume of dollars should increase whenever and wherever more dollars were needed, and would as promptly retire when not needed. His speech in full follows: "A representative of a large metro politan daily recently submitted the fol lowing question as the basis of an in terview: 'Has the boom left the United States richer than it found it?' The honor was declined, as usual, but I could not help contemplating a few facts. "Compare the following with available statistics covering any former period and there can be but one answer to the proposition. Our farms produce four thousand millions. Have these lands be come sterile or their occupants indolent? Our five hundred thousand factories add 56 hundred millions in value to 3,000 mil lions of raw material, and their net out put, exclusive of duplications, is more than 8.000 millions. Have these hives of Industry been consumed by the ele ments? Six million operatives in these factories and workshops annually sign pay rolls aggregating three billions. Have these artisans become paralyzed or have their wages been reduced? Our mines, quarries, clay banks, and oil wells yield a thousand millions. Are these storehouses of wealth exhausted or their caDacitv diminished? Our 200,000 miles of railway transport 600 million tons of original freight, not including duplica tions, and pay 800,000 operatives, exclu sive of officers, 650 million dollars. Are these thoroughfares of commerce in the hands of receivers, or are they likely to be? "As nearly as can be estimated the an nual productive capacity of the Ameri can people is 11 billion dollars. This does not include duplications. This does not Include raw cotton and manufactur ed cotton; but raw cotton and the value added thereto in the process of manu facture. Of this we expect one and one half billions, and import a billion of other merchandise, mainly noncompeti tive with our own products, we there fore consume the equivalent of 95 per cent of all we produce. Not while these conditions continue will prosperity cease. "We are the most prosperous people In the world because we both produoe and consume more than others. The little that we sell abroad, about 10 per cent, of our net production, and the little we purchase abroad, 6 or 7 per cent, of our net consumption, consti tute no challenge to the statement that our prosperity rests with ourselves. Unless our factories and workshops voluntarily close, or labor voluntarily refuses employment, or commerce vol untarily ceases its activity, there is no occasion for alarm. Unless apprehen sion becomes epidemic and ultraconser vatism contagious, the immediate fu ture holds for us as much of real good as the immediate past has showered UDon us. "To those who are comparing 1903 with 1893, and who think history likely to repeat Itself every ten years, permit the suggestion of a few radical differ ences in conditions. Ten years ago, whether wisely or unwisely, whether with or without foundation in fact or reason, a very large number, and of that number many close students of commercial and industrial conditions, believed our then financial system not only unsafe, but absolutely vicious. At least four kinds of money United States notes, treasury notes, silver dol lasa, and silver certificates were be lieved to' be dangerously near deprecia tion. Grave doubts existed, and were freely expressed, whether the secretary of the treasury could maintain the parity of these forms of money if he chose, and equally grave doubts existed as to the wisdom of attempting to maintain their parity. Aye, a very respectable number of very good people, and a very respectable portion of a very good pub lic press, openly advocated the redemp tion of greenbacks in silver and the re fusal to exchange gold for any form of money except gold certificates. No such doubt or desire now exists. By express statute it has become the duty of the secretary of the treasury to maintain the parity with gold of all forms of money coined or issued by the govern ment, and express authority is given to negotiate loans, if necessary, for that purpose. In other words, the sec retary of the treasury is directed to ex change gold for any and every kind and form of money coined or issued by the United States, and to bond the govern ment to the last limit of his authority whenever such action is necessary to the maintenance of parity. A man is a fool who sends his money into hiding now. "It is true that a very respectable number of very good people, and of that number I desire to be classed, be lieve that our financial system, good as it is, might be improved by adding an element of elasticity. I do not think there exists any great number who be lieve that we should have an lnilatlon. Eight years ago we had twenty-one dol lars per capita. Now we have certain ly more than twenty-nine and probably pearly thirty dollars per capita. Con servative business men and conservative bankers do not generally consider this an insufficient normal minimum volume of currency. I repeat. the only criti cism now offered relates to the want of elasticity. Not that a dollar can be made elastic, but that the volume shall be made responsive to the demands of business. Of course the term is a mis nomer. Elastic material like rubber will expand in one direction, but It contracts in the opposite direction, while the ma terial, the volume, is neither Increased or diminished. What is needed is not an elastic dollar, but some provision by which, automatically, the aggregate volume of dollars shall Increase, when ever and wherever more dollars. are needed, and will as promptly retire when- not needed. "There is now no statutory prohibition against the well-nigh inherent right of banks to issue circulating notes. This right exists throughout the United States, but subject to a tax of ten per cent per annum. This tax is prohibi tory. If I were given authority to for mulate a measure that would provide the requisite elasticity to our present currency system. I think I should add an amendment permitting national banks, with the consent of the comp troller of the currency, to issue a vol ume of circulating notes equal to B0 per cent of their bond-secured circula tion, at a tax of 6 per cent, the same to be retired at will or by direction of WORN OUT, Are Most Women in Summer Pe-ru-na is a Tonic of Efficiency. JOSEPHINE MORRIS, 236 fat., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna is a fine medicine to take any time of the year, but I have found it especially helpful to withstand Uie wear and tear of the hot weather. I have taken it now for two summers and feel that it has kept my system free from malaria, and also kept me from having that worn-out, dragged-out look which so many women have. "I therefore have no hesitancy in say ing that I think it is the finest tonic In the world." Josephine Morris. Peruna is frequently used as a miti gation of the effects of hot weather. What a bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the skin healthy. Peruna makes the mucous membranes clean and healthy. With the skin and mucous membranes in good working order, hot weather can be withstood with very lit tle suffering. Frequent bathing with an occasional use of Peruna is sure to mitigate the the comptroller, by the deposit of au equal amount of lawful money with any subtreasury. "Three things I kncv. First, this ad ditional circulation would spring into existence almost instantly whenever ana wherever interest rates advanced to the point of profit. Second, it would as promptly retire whenever interest rates became normal. Third, it would be ab solutely safe as good as the present national bank issue and with a slight and immaterial change identical in form and appearance for the government, amply protected by the 6 per cent tax, would underwrite it. But you say this is emergency currency. Anything more is inflation. It has the advantage, how ever, over emergency currency so named, and over legalized clearing house certificates, in that it injects into the commerce of the country no new or doubtful form of money, and the pres ence of these notes) will not advertise the stringent condition which is the oc casion of their existence. The only per sons who would know of its existence would be the comptroller, the bank, and the few people who would take sufficient interest of the published statement of the bank to compare with the volume of circulation with the amount of Govern ment bonds on deposit in the treasury. Prominent among the benefits, if not the principal benefit, would be the sub stantial guaranty against sudden in crease in interest rates, and an equally important guaranty against dangerous ly low rates of interest. Each locality would be able measurably to provide for its own emergencies. "But you say this would be no aid to commerce under ordinary conditions. I reply that under ordinary conditions the present volume is sufficient, and the country might well rejoice when ever the comptroller was able to report no dollar of this additional circulation in existence. I do not intimate that this is the only way to secure elasticity. I only say it is one way, and it is an effective way, and it possesses no ele ment of inflation, but would afford a very resnectable cushion against sud den financial concussions, and few peo ple ask more. There is nothing original or novel in the scheme. It is simply the German plan slightly modified to conform to our present system. "And yet important as the element of elasticity may be, it is not an essential to our prosperity. During the month of August, 1902, the associated banks of New York had an average surplus above their required reserve of $10, 000,000. During August, 1903, they had a surplus reserve in their vaults of $22,000,000. In the meantime the trust companies in that city increased the re serve in their vaults $15,000,000. I have good reason to believe, in fact I have very positive assurance, that banks generally have safeguarded themselves materially. The shock that was felt in every centra! reserve city, and promptly communicated to every local money center from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, and from the chain of lakes to the sulf. on September 29, 1902, as wa then predicted, has proven a blessing. Wherever that shock was felt a little more care has been exercised that it be not repei ted in 1H.13. I am not saying that it will not be repeated. I am mak ing no orediction. I am simply saying that during August. 1903, the banks of ISew lork, and I believe the banks throughout the country, were in better condition to face the annual demand for money v.ith which to move crops. and with which to put winter stocks of goods in the stores, and with which to purchase the winter supply of coal, than they were twelve months ago. "In closing this branch of the case, as we lawyers say. I want to lay down this proposition: There exist today no one fact, and no combination of facts, the logical sequence of which suggests dis aster. If disaster comes it will be psy chological and not logical. The microbe, if it exists, is in the mind; it is not else where. "Assuming, then, that we are In com parative health and in no imminent danger of disease, I want to invite your attention to the importance of a for ward step. 1 have already stated that we" are the greatest producers in the world. The balance of trade in our favor nearly equals, and occasionally exceeds, that of all other favored na tions on the map. We sell a billion dol lars per annum to Europe. Twenty per cent of the people of the world will not always consume- 75 per cent of our surplus. The United Kingdom, with only 3 per cent of the people of the world, will not always consume 40 per cent of our gross surplus. This Is not a political gathering, and we are not expected to have political desires; but we are expected to have pretty good business sense, and to that business sense I make appeal when I ask, how shall we acquire more markets? There are three ways suggested. One is to DRAGGED OUT, Mrs. Tressie Nelson, 422 Broad St., Nashville,, Tenn., writes: As Peruna has done me a world of good. I feel In duty bound to tell of It, In hopes that it may meet the eye of some woman who has suf fered as I have. For five years I really did not know what a perfectly well day was and if I did not have headache, I had backache or a pain somewhere and really life was not worth the effort I made to keep going. A good friend advised me to us e Peruna and I was glad to try any thing, and I am very pleased to say that six bottles made a new woman of me and I have no more pains and life looks bright again." Mrs. iressle Nelson horrors of hot weather. Many ladies have discovered that the depression oil hot weather and the rigors they have been in the habit of attributing to malaria quickly disappear when they use Peruna. This is why Peruna Is s popular with them. Peruna provides clean mucous membranes, and the clean mucous membranes do the rest. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vise gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President ot The Hartman Sanitarius, Columbus, O. voluntarily and gratuitously set ouf doors more or less widely ajar and per mit more freedom of importation, in the nope that other countries will set their doors more or less widely ajae and give us greater freedom of expor tation. Some of you gentlemen are im porters.and after this meeting adjourns r would like to inquire whether you. In making your purchases abroad, giva preference to those countries wnicn favor us with an open door, or do you buy where you can obtain the desired article to the best advantage? Do you purchase your silks, for instance, in Great Britain because she buys $600,- 000,000 of our gross exports without the Imposition of customs duties; or do you purchase in France and Germany, not withstanding tariff exactions upon goods coming from the United States? We have tried this experiment with Brazil. We annually buy of her more than $70,000,000 free merchandise, more than 40 per cent of nil she has to sell, and sell her $10,000,000, 10 per cent of what she has to buy. "Another way suggested Is to trade compliments to exchange trade priv ileges to set our doors somewhat ajar for the special advantage of one coun try on condition that it shall set its doors ajar for the special advantage of our people. Considerable has been said along this line, but not very much has been actually accomplished. "I do not wish to discuss the merits ot either of these methods, but I do wish to uggest a third, and i sincerely Dehevo the only method by which we will ever pet; our share of the commerce of South; American and South African countries and of tne islands lying south of the equa tor. The policy which resulted in creating; the commerce of the Pacific slope was subsidizing lines of communication with, the Pacific slope. When the. first trans continental lineB of railway were bullB there was not sufficient commerce to pay operating expenses, to say nothing or dividends on inve-..ner.ts. Few business men and fewer politicians objected to gov ernment aid to transcontinental lines dur ing the development period of the com merce along these lines. These railways need no assistance now. No business mam objects to government aid to the com merce of our navigable rivers, and no po litical partv objects to large expenditures on non-navigable streams. Improvements to rivers and harbors is subsidy to tha commerce of rivers and harbors. If wa ever secure the trade of the countries to which I have referred, we will first se cure regular lines of communication with these countries, and if we ever secura these lines assistance must be afforded. Who of you. owning a steimship, wculd divert it from participation in trans-Atlantic commerce where there is much ti be done, and send It on regular trips to countries where we have little or no commerce? "Do not misunderstand me. I am not mourning the defeat of any ship subsidy bill, but I shall mourn exceedingly the de feat of a bill. If any such shall ever be Introduced, which, if enacted, would In sure regular lines of American ships, fly ing the American flag, and carrying Amer ican merchants and commercial travelers, with their wares and merchandise, tha product of American labor, into these countries to which I have referred. Sucl a bill must offer special advantages to ships plving between our ports and coon tries where our trade is undeveloped." Fearful Odds Against Him. Bedridden, alone and destitute.

Address changed as cjicn as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. The Shamrock couldn't win a decis ion on points. It 13 cruel to keep Sir Thomas in sus pense all this time. The police might change their system by apprehending a few burglars. It is seldom that a city ordinance is found that is not full of loopholes. No one has heard Morton Albaugh or T. T. Kelly order coffee and pistols for two. Uncle Sam ha3 about two months be fore Thanksgiving in which to pluck a Turkey. County Attorney Hungate will find plenty of sympathy when he opens a tight on the coal trust. Is Hanna's physician in league with the Democrats? He has ordered rest and quiet for the senator. v Kansas is now showing the remainder of the world what she can do in the way of fine weather when she. tries. With Col. Bryan, Tom Johnson and Senatorial Candidate Clark opening the Democratic campaign in Ohio, it ought to stay open until the votes are all in. Citizens of Danville, Illinois, are now being assisted by the authorities to en ter the jail instead of bring barred out with firearms as they were on a recent occasion. Admiral Dewey advocates a large in crease in the navy. It looks to a land lubber as though we have enough fight ing ships until we learn to keep them off the rocks better. Hearing a rumor that 'Mrs. Nation is to star in "Ten Nights In a Barroom" tn Washington Post suggests that the property man will find it necessary to provide a fresh supply of glassware daily. It may be noticed that the platform adopted by the Pennsylvania Demo crats, in state convention, makes no reference to national affairs. The Key stone Democracy has troubles enough of its own. Col. Bryan is reported as predicting Tom Johrson's election. The colonel's prediction department has few If any uccesses to his credit but if he sticks to the business he may in time win out Just like the weather forecasters. The stockmen of the west are orga nizing to build a big packing plant in order to down the beef trust. The in tention appears to be to obtain for themselves profits which hitherto have gone into the coffers of the trust. No where is anything said about furnish ing cheaper meat to the consumer. Dispatches from Manila indicate that Aguinaldo has been thoroughly assimi lated and is writing letters advising his countrymen to accept the conditions gracefully and make the most of them. The Filipino ex-liberator has always been credited with being a man tf brains even if he did allow Funston to trick him. GIVE XJS PURE MILK. Topeka pays too little attention to pure food. It is true that there are ordinances which are supposed to pre vent the adulteration of food stuffs but like many other city laws little atten tion is paid to them. Just now the people are considerably agitated because Chemist Gray discov ered that there Is a universal system of milk adulteration practiced in Topeka; but there is every reason to believe that as soon as the storm blows over the milkmen will resume the old prac tice. The use of formaldehyde which acts as a preservative of milk but also destroys Its wholesomeness ha3 been generally practiced in Topeka. No one knows how many cases of sickness and even deaths among children may be at tributed to this cause. The people can not know of these outrages unless some one with an ever vigilant and watchful eye stands on guard. It is the business of the food Inspector to do this. The health of the people is In a measure In his bands and he should not wait for the warnings to come from the outside. His depart ment is equipped with costly apparatus for milk inspection and one of his du ties is to see that the people of Topeka are supplied with pure milk. That Is what he Is paid for. ALBAUGH-KELLY QUARREL. So far as the quarrel between Chair man Morton Albaugh of the Republi can state central committee and State Treasurer Thomas T. Kelly is concern ed, the public cares little but as to the principles and facts Involved in the con troversy the people of Kansas are vital ly Interested. When the tax payers of the state see the state board of equalization deliber ately make an Increase of several hund red thousand dollars In their taxes they naturally wonder why. Chairman Al baugh says that the increase was unnec essary and intimates that it was made to give the state treasurer a large sum of money to deposit in banks upon which to draw Interest for his personal benefit. Mr. Kelly on the other hand asserts that the Increase was made nec essary by the enlarged appropriation of the legislature of 1903 and that the mon ey will all be required to pay the cur rent expenses of the state. One of these officials Is right and the other is wrong and the people ought to know which must bear the burden. Mr. Albaugh makes a proposal which ought to simplify matters by suggesting that he and Mr. Kelly submit their resigna tions with the understanding that as soon as it is proven which one Is wrong that his resignation shall be accepted. This bears the stamp of good faith on Mr. Albaugh's part and It might offer a solution which will forever put an end to the controversy and let the people know who is to blame. LATEST KANSAS FAKE. The eastern editors must be averdant lot. The latest thing to claim their at tention is a report that Kansas school boards have Inserted a "no courtship" clause in the contracts of women teach ers. The story originated In the brain of a space writer but that does not mat ter if the correspondent happens to live in Kansas. Any freak story, no mat ter how wild or improbable, la greedily snapped up If it bears a Kansas date line. The result Is that editors devote much time and space to discussing sit uations which never existed and waste a great deal of sympathy. This will continue as long as they allow them selves to be imposed upon by writers whose living depends upon the Insane and freakish notion that any story from the sunflower state, no matter how unreasonable, is worth printing and paying for. This is the way the New York World comments on this latest Kansas "fake:" Shades of John Brown -and Dan An thony the apostle of freedom and the champion of the hair-trigger we should hope so! If no schoolmasters had ever "sparked" andnoschoolma'ms had been courted what would Kansas be today? A half populated desert! What would these school boards have? Race suicide or marriage with out courting? Would they have the stalwart young husbandmen of Kansas get wives as the Roman raiders obtain ed them, among the Sabine virgins by carrying them off in their arms? And shall the male teachers, deprived of the delights of propinquity and the advan tages of natural selection in the choice of wives, be cast into tjie dreadful lot tery of matrimonial advertisements to secure life partners? WILL DA VIES EXPLAIN. Gomer Davles of the Concordia Kan san is finding a thorny path as a Republican editor. As a Populist Mr. Davies was recognized as a leader and as one of the most consistent reform ed itors in the state. Then came his change of heart. He gave a very good reason for deserting the sinking ship of Popu lism and no one questioned his sincer ity. New comes the flat footed statement that Mr. Davies closed a deal with the Republican state central committee by which he was to be paid a stipulated sum as the price of his apostacy. It doesn't sound well and Mr. Davies ought to exjjlain. JAYHAWKER JOTR Indian bead work is the latest fad at Cawker City. A "sissy" boy visitor at Jennings cre ated more commotion than the arrival of a circus. It is to be hoped that the carpenters' strike at Abilene will soon be planed and smoothed out. Chanute is having a bitter fuss over whisky. Why not pour some of their oil on the troubled waters. Selden boys have the circus fever. Every lad in town has a turning pole or a flying trapeze in the back yard. A Bison sheep became entangled in a thick sunflower patch and existed without food or water for three weeks. Coffeyville's bottle factory starts up September 10. With orders for weeks ahead the promoters hope to do a cork ing business. This is a prosperous season In "Wash ington county for the editor of the Reg ister. His paper is running three pages of sheriff's sales. A Salina man will be allowed to ex hibit a violin of his own make under the provision that it will at all times be a silent display. A Bison barber has sheathed his razor and for a time will say "next" to bundles of wheat as they are tossed to him on the thresher. Cawker City Is going to have a weed cutting day. And every man, woman and child is expected to turn out with sickles, scythes and butcher knives. The average weight of a load of "home grown" McPherson watermelons Impaired toigestidn May not be all that is meant by dytprpsia now, but it will be if neglected. The uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv ous headache, sourness of the stomach, and disagreeable belching may not be very bad now, but they will be if the stomach is suffered to grow weaker. Dyspepsia is such a miserable disease that the tendency to it should be given early attention. This is completely over come by Hood's Sarsa par ilia which strengthens thewhole digestive system was 50 pounds. Small boy raiders would be compelled to eat those In the patch. TwoWinfield sportsmen killed thirty four prairie chickens ort a recent hunt in the Kiowa country and brought the birds home for potpies for their friends. Plenty of the corn over Sheridan county measures ten feet in height. It might be in order to drop the "short grass" title and style it the "long stalk" country.

C. cut off the tails of nine cows and Inciden tally cut oft the brakeman's Job. GLOBE 8XGHT& tFrom the Atchison Globe. Look out for a big moving day for a number of people who board. Ever notice how modest and quiet a South Methodist preacher ia in the north? We will admit It: We can't pronounce Beirut, and neither can your school teacher. The people occasionally forgive a giddy widow, but they never forgive a giddy old maid. There is really only one thing you can feel in your bones, and that is the approach of old ag. An Atchison woman haa so little foun dation for the stories she tells that sho la called Marconi. We don't know when It was put on, but all underwear looks aa if this ought to be Saturday night. Some of these days there will be so many leaders In this country that no one will be left to do the work. Another reason why F. M. Baker Is a great man: he has one of the finest homes In the state, and hasn't named it after a sleeping car. "If Smith's Quarterly really intends to print the truth," people are saying to John Smith, the editor, "we would like to give you some facts." A wedding party in Beirut Indulged In a feu de jole, and we sent war ships over. This is all there Is to it, except what's a feu de Jole? An Atchison man who lately went east on a vacation estimates that he spent $7 on weight slot machines while killing time while his wife shopped. We have often wondered that the wo men, never adopted this plan for raising th mortgage on their church: By fining their husbands a penny for every spot on the table cloth while eating? We don't know how it Is in other towns but in this town when a professional oand gives a concert the people who have a great deal to say about being "hun gry" for music are conapicuous by their absence. FIGHT AT PEKIH, Collision Between American and French Soldiers. Pekin. Sept. 3. In a fight today be tween fifteen French soldiers and four Americans the French used bayonets, and two of the Americans were seri ously wounded. Fresh Air. There Is an old Scandinavian fairy tale about a woman who has tried to catch sunshine in her apron so as to in troduce it in her house, and, amusing as the notion seemed, the scientist has at length made It a pos sibility. Quite as improbable, too, was the notion that fresh air could ever be transported in a concentrated form from one place to another; yet a French sa vant has recently made genuine fresh air tablets, thus solving a problem hitherto considered Insoluble. The sci entist in question was investigating acetyllne gas when he made the dis covery that he could combine certain chemicals into a tablet, which, on be ing dropped into water, dissolved, and gave forth pure oxygen. The value of this discovery can scarcely be overrated since by its use in submarine boats, mines, or in diving, it may be in stru mental in prolonging human life. Even In our dwellings, when inclement weather prevents window -opening to any great extent in sleeping apartments, school rooms, theaters concert halls, factory, and, above all. In hospitals and large drapery establishments where ventila tion is usually inadequate these fresh air tablets would be of Incalculable util ity. It is to be hoped that their cost is small enough to enable them to be generally used. Dietic Journal. LOCAL MENTION. Dr. L. R.Goodwin is sick at his home. Archdeacon Crawford came home from Colorado this morning. Mlas Maude Cowdrey has returned home after a week's visit with Miss Winnie Kearney at Tecumseh. Miss Martha McCabe, librarian of the College of Emporia, has returned to Emporia after spending the summer with her' brothers in this city. In city court today Claud Smith, the negro porter who stole a diamond scarf pin from a room' at the Union Pacific hotel, waived his preliminary exami nation and was bound over to the dis trict court with a bond of $500. Sam Hayden, colored, who was ar rested by the police yesterday for steal ing Santa Fe brass, has been re-arrested by city court officers. It seems that the brass stolen by Hayden consisted of three large valves, which are valued at $28.88 by the Santa Fe company. This makes a case of grand larceny against Hayden. Sawyer Donald Moore has been found. Moore is the young man who was sought by his brothers and sisters sev eral weeks ago. He is at Huron, Kan sas, and has not seen or heard of any member of his family since he was seven years old. He saw the story of the search for him in the State Journal, and has written to this paper for the ad dress of his relatives. Mitchell Sands a Man. Kansas City. Mo.. Sept. 3. T. J.

Friends Fear That He May Not Recover. Has Made a Good Record Topeka. In Councilman J. W. Blossom of the First ward is suffering from mental trouble, believed to have been brought on by sickness and by brooding over his losses in the flood. He will probably resign his position of councilman from the First ward. Neither Mr. Blossom's physicians nor his relatives will venture an opinion as to the chances, for his recovery. They all say however, that his condition ia very serious. Mrs. Blossom states that the trouble has been coming on her husband grad ually since last March. She does not attribute the misfortune to worry over loss in the flood. Mr. Blossom has fre quently stated to his friends during the past two or three months that he was not feeling well. Few suspected the na ture of his trouble, however, until a few weeks ago. He attended the meeting of the council on August 17, and acted about as usual. Since that date, how ever, his mental decline has been more pronounced. While so far Mr. Blossom has shown no violent tendencies, it is feared by some of his friends that his malady is likely to take such a turn. He is said to have indicated a desire at times to kill himself. A few days ago he tried to borrow a revolver from a North Topeka man. When asked what he wanted it for he said, I want to kill rats down in my house." There have been no rats in North Topeka since the flood. Mr. Blossom is not confined nor Is he under surveillance and he spends most of his time in North Topeka, coming to his house at night, but not staying at home much during the day. His part ner is carrying on the business of house moving, which has been Mr. Blossom's occupation for many years. Mr. Blos som comes around wljen his partner is working, but does not stay long at any time. His conversation and actions all indicate that his mind is not right. He does not remember some of his oldest friends. An incident is told as charac teristic of his mental condition. He en gaged a North Topeka man named Tom Wilkerson, a brother of ex-SherlfT John WTilkerson to haul some timbers. When he and Wilkerson were about to load the timbers. Mr. Blossom said he had changed his mind and would not haul the timbers. "Wait and let me think a little." he said, as he walked around the timbers, apparently in deep study. Then he de cided he would haul the timbers, but as soon as Wilkerson commenced to load them, he again changed his mind. In this way he vacillated for several hours before he finally decided to let Wilkerson put the timbers on the It is said that Mr. Blossom's mental trouble is due to kidney and bladder disease. With these disorders he has been afflicted for some time. Some things indicate strongly that Mr. Blos som himself felt that his mind was giving way. Some weeks ago one of his fellow members of the council sug gested that they walk over to North Tonelra together. Mr. Blossom replied: "Yes. I guess I can walk over, but I tell you I'm not the man 1 used to De. I'm sick, and used up, and I don't know what is the matter with me." Some time ago Councilman Griley, who :s out of town, but who is one of Mr. Blossom's most intimate friends in the council, stated that he believed there was "something wrong with Jack Blossom." This was before It was gen erally suspected that Mr. Blossom's mind was not right. Dr. L. A. Ryder, of North Topeka, has been In charge of Mr. Blossom's case. When asked today to make a statement concerning it. Dr. Ryder said: "I do not feel that it would be proper for me to say anything. Mr. Blossom is in very bad shape. I have not pre scribed for him for about a week, and I do not know how he is getting along." "What are the chances for his re cover "Well. I don't know. His condition is serious. It has been coming on grad ually, and his relatives do not think it is due to the effect of brooding over the flood." David OveTnyer, who is Mr. Blos som's brother-in-law. and who has also been his legal adviser, was reluc tant about making any statement. "1 won't say anything except that Mr. Blossom is very sick," said Mr. Over in. er. "Do rou think he will recover?" "I am not a physician, and don't know. He is in bad condition." Mayor Bergundthal. who is one of Mr. Blossom's neighbors, said: "I don't know much about Mr. Blos som's condition except what I have heard. He is said to he in bad shaDe. He has not resigned his position in the city council, and I don't know whether he expects to." Councilman S. R. Kutz, Mr. Blossom's colleague in the First ward, said: "I am afraid that Jack Blossom will never vote with us in the council again. He is in bad condition." Councilman "Jack" Blossom Is one of the old time members of the city coun- .nil,, Councilman Jack Blossom of the First Ward. cil, and is the only Democrat who has ever been able to secure election to the city council from the First ward. He la very popular with the laboring classes, and stands well with everyone as a man of the highest honor and strictest adher ence to what he believes to be right. He is well liked by all the members of the city council, for they know that while he is a Democrat, and on the minority, he will always vote for what he believes to be right. Blossom was first nominated by the Democrats for councilman from the First ward in 1895, when he was defeat ed by O. D. Skinner. In 1898, Blossom was again nominated, and succeeded in defeating his opponent, C. A. Starbird. In 1890, he was a candidate against S. C. Miller, and Miller beat him by the nar row margin of 49 votes. In 1902, Blos som turned the tables on Miller, and de feated him by a majority of 26. He has been engaged in the business of house moving in Topeka for a great many years, and has probably done as much of that kind of work as any other man in the city. In the flood he sus tained considerable damage. His horses were all drowned, and his home was rendered a wreck. He seemed to take this misfortune rather hard, but whether it contributed materially to his present unfortunate condition will probably never be known. There is still hope that Mr. Blossom will recover, and everyone who knows him believes that he has a fighting chance. He has a naturally rugged physique, and was in his younger days a man of great muscular strength.These characteristics may reassert themselves, and restore his diseased mind to health. HEAT AT WASHBURN. Buildings Are Being Connected With the Plant. At a meeting, of the executive com mittee of Washburn college, held a few days ago, it was decided to put in steam heat at the library building- at once, in time for use this winter. As rapidly as funds can be secured, the system of steam heating will be ex tended to all the buildings on the campus. The steam heating plant has sufficisnt capacity for all the buildings. The ones now connected with it are the observatory and the girls' dormitories. The library will be the fourth building. The heating plant was given a test run this week, and worked Derfectly. HARMS IN LAWRENCE. Ex-Senator Will Move to That Place. Senator W. A. Harris returned to Kansas Wednesday from Washington, and will hereafter make his home at Lawrence. His term as United States senator expired last March, but the sen ator took a house in Washington for the Bummer and it was generally un derstood that he was waiting for Pres ident .Roosevelt to appoint the canal commission, expecting to be named as member of that commisssion. The Lawrence Gazette in speaking of Senator Harris' return says: "He has come home to live and spend the rest of his life among his friends, the people of Kansas, for every hon orable, liberal man in Kansas is a friend of Senator Harris. He expects to move his family to Lawrence and re side here, where he made his start in life in Kansas, and where he is apprec iated for his full worth. He has round ed out an honorable political career, held the highest positions within the gift of the people of Kansas, and made a record of which every one is proud. He returns, 'poor In purse, but rich in the admiration of his friends.' He re fused every offer for private gain at public expense. "He exploited no railroad companies, Jerusalem World's Fair shows, or any thing of the kind.and indignantly spurn ed offers of a very large sum and a per manent position at a handsome salary to let up on his fight on the Pacific rail road's debt to the government. Single handed and alone he fought the power ful lobbies and saved the govenment nearly $50,000,000. W. A. Harris retires to private life conscious of having done his dutyv and of having it said of him that he is 'one man who passed through the cauldron of politics and came out with an unblemished charac ter.' What greater tribute can be paid to, any man?" IS A FLOOD RELIC. Rottled Note Found Far from Launching Spot. Blue Rapids. Kan.. Sept. 3.

At the meetings o'f the Osage county operators in August it' is understood that an attempt was made to have the Southwestern Fuel company control the entire output of the Osage City mines and to have John Jack control the out put of the Burlingame mines. The deal was not consummated at that meeting. A year ago Gust Johnson notified the trade that he would in the future con trol the output -of al the Osage City mines. He still controls it. He notified the dealers in the following letter: "Dear Sir: In connecion with our own products of Osage City shaft coal, we have this date bought, or contracted to buy, for a number of years, the en tire product from the following com panies and private operators in Osage City, namely: The A.

C Chicago, Sept. 3. Mr. John Temple Graves of Georgia, delivered an address on "The Problem of the Races" this morning before the 48th convocation of the University of Chicago. He said in part: "The prejudice -of race Is a pointing of Providence, and the antagonism of people Is the fixed policy by which God peoples the different portions of the uni verse and establishes the individuality of the nations. The act that Drought these people together on this continent was a sin of the fathers, a sin of greed, an iniquity of trade and the sorrow and suffering of the present is for the sin of the past a sin against nature and a sin against God. The curse tan be lifted only when nature is vindicated and God is obeyed. The trouble then will be solved only when the negro is restored to the 'bounds of his habitation. "It is neither Impossible nor Imprac ticable. The elements are willing and the way is in reach. This is not a day of impossibilities. The hand of the Al mighty is steadily opening the w-ay. It may be that the islands of the sea were placed by providence in our keeping to furnish an answer to the problem of the time.

But there can be no joy iu motherhood without health, and without health for the mother there can be no health for the child. It is of vital importance for women to know that the health of mother and child is in general entirely within woman's control. The thousands of women who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription when expecting motherhood, have testified that It made them healthy and happy in the days of waiting, made the baby's advent practically painless, aad gave them health to give their chil dren.

Philippine Insurgents Engage in Fight With Constabulary. Manila, Sept. 3, 7 p. m. -The Jolo con stabulary have come in conflict with a body of insurgents in the province of Cavity near Laguna De Bay, and killed twenty of them during a sharp engage ment. The constabulary had one man killed during the fight. Reinforcements have already left Manila for the scene of disturbance to subdue the insurgents who have taken up a strong position in the mountains which flank the Laguna. The legislative council for the Moro province has been organized In accord ance with the bill recently enacted by the Philippine commission providing for the government of the Moros. This council is composed of a governor, sec retary, engineer, attorney and superin tendent of schools. The province will now be within the jurisdiction of the Philippine courts and constabulary, Moro laws being recognized when not in conflict with American laws. Gen eral Leonard Wood, now resident of Zamboanga, who has just completed the organization of the governing coun cil, reports a feeling of unrest among the native inhabitants of Moro prov ince, and upon his request an additional battery has been dispatched from Ma nila to strengthen the forces now under his command.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL,, THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 3, 1B03. RAILROADS GIVE IT UP. (Continued from First race.) these 30 towns, he said, will be $10.86 a car load over the old car load rate. Air. Totter also paid that cattle are now selling on the Kansas City market for just $2 a head less than they did two years ago and he pleaded for a re Btoration of the old carload rate. "We all realize," lie said, "that the railroads are a great thing for the coun try ami we need them. We also want them to realize lliat they need us. With the possible exception of the grain ship pers we give the railroads more tonnage than any other class. When the coun try was new and the railroads were first built we realized that the hauls were short and the tonnage small, and we stood a stiff rate without complaining, but we think now that the roads have far mure business with longer hauls the rates ought to be less. Instead they have been increased, especially during the past two or three years, and the service was never poorer. 'years ago," continued Mr. Potter, addressing the railroad men, "we gave you a free hand and let you have your own way in everything. Now that your business has so greatly increased we leel that we ought to have a less rate, and instead of that we tind the rates raised on us. We think we ought to have the old carload rate restored. We did not have any trouble with the rail roads then. Now the roads are making double and treble the net profit they did ten years ago, yet they etill increase our freight rates." Paul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe, took an active part in the cross-examination, largely to show that the railroads are not entirely to blame for the losses of the cattlemen. He brought out that the cattlemen also jay excessive stock yard rates, feed charges, commission charges, and that they are at the mercy of the packing combine. The railroad attorneys also brought out the fact that shipments which go Into Kansas City over the Santa Fe, Jtock Island, and over the Missouri Pa cific from the southwest cross the state line into Missouri before the cars are eventually unloaded, and the railroad attorneys contend that this constitutes Interstate commerce and cannot there fore be regulated by the Kansas rail road board. J. W. Kobison. of Kl Dorado, presi dent of the Kansas Cattlemen's associa tion, Senator Harry McMillan, of Otta wa county, and others also testified at the night session of the hearing last night. Senator McMillan desired to in troduce newspaper clippings showing I the increased earnings of the railroads, but these were ruled out as evidence. In cross-examining Mr. Kobison, Vice President Paul Morton incidental ly brought out the fact that while cat tle rates may be high, grain rates are much higher in Kansas. In fact, it de veloped that the freight rate on a car load of corn from Kl Dorado to Kansas City is more than double the rate on cattle. "All of the Kansas cattlemen who are raising or feeding stock," said Mr. Kob ison, "are losing money. This increase in rates will mean an additional loss of from five to ten dollars a car. All branches of the cattle industry, in Kan sas are losing money. We are between two combines. They are the packing house and the railroad combines." "Have you lost money on the cattle you are feeding this year?" asked Mr. Morton. "Yes, sir." "What Is the cause?" "Well, the railroads are not all to blame. We have lost some money be cause we paid too much for our feed ers." "Were you not dealing' some W m tures when you obtained your feeaeru?" "No, sir," declared Mr. Kobison; "I never sold a pound of futures in my life." What do you get for hauling a car load of corn from your county to Kan sas City?" asked Mr. Morton. "About eighty dollars." "How much corn is required to fatten a car load of cattle?" "Not less than one and sometimes two." "And we haul a load of cattle for about thirty-seven dollars, do we not?" "Yes." "Then," said Mr. Morton, "we are hauling the cattle and corn for about half what it costs to haul the corn." WHAT IT COSTS CATTLEMEN". While Mr. Potter was on the stand he made the assertion that the increase in rates over those of two years ago will cost the cattlemen alone an increase of JD48.000 annually. "There were received in the Kansas City market last year 117,000 cars of cattle," said Mr. Potter. "Of these Kansas furnished about half. It is safe to estimate that at least 50.000 cars came from Kansas. This increase in rates then will cost the cattle shippers about $548,000 annually, which amounts to more than our taxes." M. A. Low on cross-examination brought out the fact that this estimate probably would not hold good, for the rate is not raised from all points and the cattle shipped from points where there is no raise in the rate would have to be deducted from the estimate. A discussion also arose in a cross-examination conducted by Second Vice Iresident Morton in which it was brought out that the shippers do not load their cars as heavily now under the hundred pound rate a.? they did under the carload rate, and Mr. Morton made the point that it therefore costs the railroads more to haul the cattle. "Why don't you load the cars as heavily as you used to?" he asked Mr. potter, "Well." replied Mr. Potter, "we feel a good deal like the man who went into the railroad eating house and while he was eating he put his hat on a stool and they charged him storage for It. If we phip four car loads of cattle you ar going to charge us for five cars anyway to we just use the five cars." STANDS BY CLARKE. Bryan Says Ills Candidacy for Senator Is All ltight. Marion, Ohio. Sept. 3. W. J. Bryan last night closed his present Ohio tour here when he addressed an audience on the court house grounds estimated at from 6.000 to 10.000. Mr. Bryan was accompanied to Marion by C. C. Phllbrick. member of the Ktate committee, Kx-congressman John J. Lentz, Frank E. Monett, Democratic candidate for attorney general and W. I-u Finley, chairman of Democratic cen tral committee. Monett and Lentz fol lowed Bryan in speeches of some length. Mr. Bryan endorsed Clarke again for senator even more strongly than in his speech at Versailles, and in the state ment which he gave out after a confer ence with prominent Democrats at Co lumbus. His praise of Mayor Jonnson of Cleveland as the Democratic standard bearer in Ohio was most eloquent and was received with marked demonstra tion. Mr. Bryan also discussed at length the trusts, the tariff, imperialism, currency and other national issues. Im mediately after the meeting Mr, Bryan left for New York. He announced that he would be in Ohio again next month to make a number of speeches m sup port of the Democratic ticket. Columbus. Ohio, Sept. 3. W. J. Bryan was the guest of the Ohio state board of agriculture 'yesterday afternoon end delivered a nonpartisan address at the state fair grounds. John Clarke of Cleveland, endorre!? by the Democratic state convention for United States sen ator, spoke from the same platform. While tn Columbus Mr Bryan gave out the following statement relative to th endorsement of John H. Clarke for TJ. S. Senator. "I would have preferred the nomina tion of some one who had been active and earnest in the support of all the planks of our platform, but the dele gates who endorsed the Kansas City platform also endorsed Mr. Clarke, and after talking with him and listening to his speech last night I am satisfied that his sympathies are with the people in their fight against organized wealth, and that if elected he can be trusted to stand for the retorms for which the Democrat ic party is contending. As an evidence that his sympathies are with the masses I point to the fact that he has long advocated the election of senators by a direct vote a reform without which other reforms are impossible. He Is op posed to government by injunction and this question is a good test of his sym pathies. He is in favor of an income tax another proof that he is not the repre sentative of plutocracy. His views on imperialism and the tariff were sound and in line with Democratic principles, his one difference is on one phase of the money question namely, metallic mon ey and on this question I believe he was grievously in error in 1896. "But since that time the arguments made in favor of a larger volume of money have been vindicated. Believ ing, as I do. that his sympathies are right, I shall trust him to carry out his platform on all questions that come before him rather than give encourage ment to those who would elect a Re publican legislature and thus not only return Mr. Hanna but prevent the en actment of needed state legislation. On the more acute phases of the money question I believe he will be found in entire harmony with the Kansas City platform Democrats. I can not con ceive of his supporting an asset cur rency or the Aldrich bill; neither do I believe he would support the Repub lican measures which provide for branch banks and for making the silver dollar redeemable in gold. "Mr. Clarke recognizes, as he said last night, that revolutions do not go backward; he recognizes that the Dem ocratic party is marching forward to meet the issues presented by plutocracy and he is opposed to the scheme of the rem gnnizers-. "While we might prefer some other Democrat to him, we certainly must prefer him to a Republican who is against us on all questions, and espe cially when the legislature that will elect him will also give the people home rule, cheaper railroad fare and more equitable taxation. To oppose him be cause of hin action in 1896, in spite of the fact that he helped us heartily in 1900, in spite of the fact he has sup ported Johnson in all his reforms, in spite of the fact that he is now helping us on everything except one phase of one question, and in spite of the fact that on thru question I believe his sym pathies will lead him to our side when he thoroughly understands the subject to oppose him, I say, in spite of these things, would be unreasonable and unjust."

(Continued from Page I.) that the United States has occupied this strip of territory ever since Its ac quisition from Russia and that Russia had controlled it since the treaty of 1825, until ceded to the United States In 1867. In its counter statement the American commission makes rejoinder to points covered in the presentation of the Brit ish side of the case, which it appears contains 2J or more documents, which heretofore have not been given to th-5 public. The additional evidence referred to bears upon the negotiations which took place between Great Britain "and Russia during the years 1823 to 1825. and it is contended that this new evidence in no way alters any material contention made in the original allegation but that on the contrary "it confirms and strengthens the position of the United States." These documents consist largely of statements made and letters Written by Mr. Pelly, who was at that time deputy governor of the Hudson Bay company and it is contended that his letters fully sustain the assertion that in fixing a line of demarkation the British govern ment acted solely in the interests of that company. The commissioners discuss at some length the claim made by their oppon ents that many protests have been filed by British officials against the American claim in reference to the boundary lin.?. They admit that from time to time there have been informal representations but these they assert were in the main with out sufficient data to Justify serious con sideration. Indeed they say that never until after the Klondike gold discover ies were made in 1895. did the British government take up the question ser iously. They admit that in 18S8, atten tion was called to the claim of the British government that the 10 league strip extended only from the main wa ters of the ocean, but they say that this j contention was not made absolutely clear until the British case was delivered I to the present tribunal on the 2d of May last. In support of the American con- i tention that the strip should measure from tide water and from tht heads of j bays and inlets a number of depositions are produced in connection with the j counter case going to show the occupa tion of this strip by settlers from the United States since 1880. Especial ef- j fort is directed toward showing the con- j trol of the country about the head of i Lynn canal, including the sites of the towns of Dyea. Skagway, White Pass and Lake Bennett. It also Is stated that numerous documents have been preserv ed which had been given to Indian chiefs and others by officials of the Uni ted States showing the presence In the Lynn canal inlets of naval and other authorities of the United States annual ly for 20 years after the United States acquired the territory. It is contended that this occupation and control were known to the Canadian government and its people. Discussing the boundaries rjroposed by Great Britain, the commission makes reference to the instability of the Cana dian contention on this point, and con cludes that the "United States has from the time of the cesBion of Alaska to the present day maintained but one In terpretation of the treaty of 1825. Its position has been open and known to the world. It is the same which was pre sented to the tribunal in its case-and which it now reiterates in this counter case." t The argument In the case is a careful study of maps, treaties and other doc uments bearing upon the boundary con tention, and it is intended to drive home the facts presented in the statements to which reference has been made; Con siderable sjace is devoted to the part played by the Klondike, gold discoveries in arousing Great Britain's interest in the controversy, and in this connection notice is taken of an assertion made by the British commission that the towns of Dyea and Skagway owed their existence to the migration to the Klon dike. They assert on the contrary that Dyea was founded in 1886 and Skag way in 1888. They contradict flatly a contention made by the British commis sioners to the effect that "Canada's claim to the territories at the head of Lynn canal was at the time well known to the United States government." "This," they say, "is a gratuitous as sertion. There is no proof to sustain it. Canada never put forward any such claim to the United States. The claim was first made in 1898 by Great Britain before the joint high commission. It is said that 'if the Canadian government had instructed British vessels to disre gard the regulations there would have been grave danger of a serious colli sion.' There undoubtedly would have been a collision Just as certainly as if they had been instructed to disregard the regulations of the port of New York." Strong exceotion also is taken to the contention that there was a reservation on the part of Great Britain when the United States volunteered to create a port of entry at Dyea. The argument asserts that whatever reservation there was was made by a commissioner of customs, and that he had no authority in the premises. METCALF IS ONE. St. Paul, Sept. 3.

Large Crowd of Veterans At tend at Raster Springs. Baxter Springs, Kept. 3. The- big; In terstate reunion is now In full swine;. Fully 15,000 people were on the grounds Wednesday. The Frisco road ran hour ly excursions from the north, east and south, and every train was leaded to the guards. Governor Bailey arrived in the morning and addressed the camp fire after dinner. Senator Burton and Congressman Curtis will be here today. Several state officers will accomyany them. The reunion Is devoid of real naughty shows this time. "Red Hot" street has only good, respectable entertainments and the visitors seem to relish the change. In recent years the phows, as a rule, have been very racy. The snake eater is conspicuous by his absence. Two new features put in this year are the scenic railroad and the chutes. The annual election of officers of the association was held in the morning. Colonel L. C. Weldy was elected by ac clamation as commander. The old board was re-elected by acclamation. It consists of J. M. Cooper, president; C. W. Daniels, J. J. Trilbey, C E. Col lins. C. L. Smith, Baxter Springs; J. M. McNay, Columbus; A. C. Hilegos, Mon tana, Kas., T. D. W. Arnold, Lamar, Mo. It has developed upon roll call that Illinois leads in the number of soldiers on the grounds. Ohio comes second. Indiana is third and Missouri fourth. "Our list of outside speakers is not large this time," said Colonel Honbock. "There is no campaign on this year. Next year we will have several big guns. We expect to have Senator Hanna, Sen ator Dolliver and Mrs. John A. Logan." An effort was made to get Joe Folk, of Missouri this time, but he was too busy at home. The Reunion association has made many improvements on the grounds and will make more before the next reunion is held. It-Is making a special effort to make Baxter Springs a soldier town. This is the way It advertises the town: "The climate of Baxter Springs is the finest in the world and the entire sur roundings are the most congenial for the old soldier's comfort and pleasure. We have very few socialists or freaks of any kind and the Union soldier al ways has the right of way In Baxtei. The G. A. R. post Is In a healthy con dition and one of the best in the state. We have good schools and 200 hundred kinds of religion; two drugstores with a permit and one- without. A majority of our voters still vote the way you shot and we have but a few antl-imper-ialists and boors." Football Prospects at Tale. New Haven, Conn., Sept. S The train ing of the Yale football eleven will be gin within the next two weeks. It is the intention of the management to call the players together on September 10, two weeks before college opens. It Is ex pected that a large number of likely freshmen will be at New Haven this year, and a special effort will be maOe to get as many of these out for the preliminary work as possible. With this in view Captain Rafferty and his assist ants have looked up all those who have passed their entrance examination and have asked them to report with the veterans for the preliminary practice.

Kennedy came to Topeka Tuesday afternoon and went out with Robert and James Stewart. P. I. An derson. Sam I-akin, Hob Smith and Ulenn Milliee to toss the ball. Thurs day afternoon Omar Mehl, Caldwell, "Chick" Cunningham and Jphn Dadis jnan are expected to te on hand. From now on practice will go on resularly. More football players are looked for to arrive daily, and some necessary im provements on the gridiron will be l ushed through before the opening game on September 26. It was announced today that Jlmmie Stewart will be back In Washburn this football season. He will be enrolled in the law department und will play v ith the team. Stewart will be one of the valuable acquisitions of the team. During the past year he has been read ing law In a down-town law office, and will enter the law school to continue his studies. He expects to follow the three years' course throughout. Caldwell, the colored boy, was one of the star play ers of the medical school last year, and will be, enrolled In that department pgaln. 1'. p. Anderson will probably be with the Uwi, having completed the regular course last June. Bob Stewart, xb Smith and Sam Lakin will be in the medical school. Jlehl, Cunningham and Dadlsman will be enrolled with the collegiate department. By the time school opens a large proportion of the players on the ground will be from the college proper. The addition of the medical department and the law school will do a great deal for the athletics of the school. Manager Clovls K. Iale Is quite 111 at his home on Lincoln street with an attack of typhoid fever which threatens to keep him away from the team for several weeks to come, but his work will be taken up and continued by members of the team until the athletic association can be got ten together. One of the first things to be done will be the plowing of the field. The gridiron has been settled hard during the i-prlng and summer and will have to be stirred up before it will be ready for the season's use. While it is settling from being plowed the practice will be held on one side of the sod. Team prac tice will not commence for two or three weeks, but the men will be trained in handling the ball and in tackling with a dummy. The Washburn Athletic association as- rires to the maintenance of a training ta le for the football players this fall. This is an expensive luxury, but is a good thing for the players. A training table was kept for the players two or three years ago with very satisfactory results. Consider able enlargements will be made on the training quarters in connection with the bath rooms in Science hall. The college nas grantea tne use 01 two or three more rooms on the south side of the cor- Of Fast Heart Lasted 160 Hours. Doctors Didn't Know What To Do. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine Cured Me. "For seven years I hive been troubled with what the doctors called a 'fast heart,' going at once from the usual beat to twice as fast, which in a short time would exhaust me terribly and only after treatment by a physi cian it would get back to normal speed. These attacks increased in frequency and severity until December, loot, when they came on ence si week. Each attack would lay me up a day or more. The attack begin ning January 13th, 1002, lasted 160 hours (almost a week) my heart beat almost one hundred and fifty per minute and some times more. During this week ray physician consulted with four other doctors, but ail to bo purpose. My heart finally slowed up, and it was then a serious ouestion with my family what to do next; as tor me, I was too far pone to care much what happened. Dr. Miles' al manac said, "write for advice" and my son wrotej leceiving a nice reply. A neighbor told us he had used your remedies with great ben efit. I took courajje, becan the use of Dr.Miles' New Heart Cure and Restorative Nervine until I had taken eleven bottles of the Heart Cure and seven bottles of the Restorative Nervine. I had two slight attacks after I be (fan the use of your medicine the last one lasting only thirty minutes. For more than three months my heart has run without a 6urry.

No clue has yet been discovered in the forgery of the name of Judge L. Still well of Krie to a letter addressed to Gov ernor Bailey, recommending a pardon for J. S. Rogers, a penitentiary convict. The letter was received at the governor's office about a month ago. Judge J. S. West, seeing at once that it was a forgery, put it In an envelope and sent it at once to Judge Stillwell, and Judge Stillwell ph.ced it in the hands of Coun ty Attorney Clifford of Allen county. The letter was written with purple ink on soft pad paper. Accompanying It was an alleged petition pigned in lead pencil with the names of a large number of people living in the vicinity of Humboldt and this also is a forgery. Even the names of many of the alleged signers are misspelled. It was no great task to detect the forgery. Judge Stillwell is a very cor rect and careful writer, and he and Judge West have been personal friends tor years. The letter reads as follows: "Iola. Kansas. Aug. 3, 1903. "Governor Bailey: "Dear Sir: As the friends of J. S. Rogers have gotten up this petition two try and have you grant him liberty i being the Judge that Sentences him, they have asked me to write my opinion, if you remember Stanley agreed to par don him providing i would write a let ter id agree with his friends, he were sent for 15 years in 92. Well i have studied on this for 4 years and at last agreed to ask of you to pardon him on or before August 31st. you remember he was sent for murder in years ago. he is now a man 58 years old and there fare i think the trials of life nerly done and i think he should be granted his liberty he has a loving wife and a large family of children, his parents are still living but that is all and 1 do believe you should grant this Grayhalred man his liberty and now hoping two see By the papers of which I'm Reader of this man being at liberty on or before Aug ust 31st 1303 this year J remain as ever your friend. "Judge "Stillwell. "Iola. Kansas, "forgot to tell you J. S. Rogers is in the Syate Prison at Lansing." IN FULL CONTROL. Frank J. Hearne at Head of Colorado Fuel and Iron. New York, Sept. 3. Frank J. Hearne, formerly piesident of the National Tube company, has been placed in full con trol of the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany. Mr. Hearne, who is said to be the joint choice of the Gould-Rockefeller interests in the eompanv. was elected president of the comoany and chairman of the board of directors at a meeting held in this city. No action upon the dividend on the preferred stock of the company was taken. The preferred stock, of which $2,000,000 is outstanding, bears interest at the rate of 8 per cent. This dividend is cumulative. It is payable semi annually in September and April, and the August directors' meeting is the one at which the declaration is usually made.

Charities Board" Jtnd Atchison Council Fail to Agree. Atchison, Kas.. Sept. 3. The Globe says: For nearly two hours members of the state board of charities, J. F. Close, assistant attorney general. Mayor Orr, members of the city council and Committee of Forty discussed the Sol diers' Orphans' home road matter. It stands this way: Members of the board of charities say they were entrusted with the expenditure of the state's money and are expected to get the best road for the least possible sum; that they have concluded that the road through the Taylor tract would fur nish the easiest grade, would be the shortest and most economical. The ap propriation provides that the city must furnish riht of way. Mrs. Taylor wants $2,500, and David Auld has given right of way through his Jand on condi tion that the road is not run east of Second street. The buying of rights of way through the Auld and Taylor tracts, and the paving of two blocks from M to O street to connect city pavements with the state road, would cost Atchison $7,000, or in the neighbor hood of that amount. Mayor Orr told the board of chari ties that the people would not justify an action of the council in expending that sum, were it possible ipr the city to raise it, for a cross lots rood through the Taylor tract. Such a road would be traveled only a distance of 700 feet by farmers north of town, as that is the distance from Third to Second street, in the circular manner in which it is proposed the road shall run. The idea, which there is no occasion to dis guise, is that if the city expends any considerable sum it will be with the hope of increasing its trade north of town. At a meeting several weeks ago the council, finding the state board so strongly in favor of the road through the Taylor tract, agreed to it as a means of settlement, but it was thought at the time that right of way could be had for about $500. The city officials were so badly discouraged this' morn-' lng that there was talk of abandoning the entire proposition. Mayor Orr and members of the council feel that if the road could be secured through the Auld tract, and thence out Second street to the home corner, taxpayers might be reconciled to the expense. This would cost considerably more monai-. Henry Allen, chairman of the state board, says the city can have this road if it will equalize matters; that is, if a grade enual to the grade through the Taylor tract can be assured, and the improvement can be had at no greater expense. The proposition for the state to condemn the strip needed for the road through the Taylor tract was dis cussed, but as the city would be com pelled to pay any sum the condemna tion commissioners might v see -fit-, to aw-ird. it did not furnish a satisfactory solution of the trouble. The cost of-the road out Second street, based upon a grade unsatisfactory to the state board, is over $25,000, as against $18,000 for the other road. The meeting ended with the city and state as far apart as ever. FO U RTEEN WITNES 8 ES Attest a Marriage Contract Where "Obey" Was Omitted. Philadelphia, Sept. 3 Something new In the wedding ceremony formula has been evolved at the marriage of Kath erine Fisher of this city and K. S. Ross of Brooklyn.

Stats Journal Correspondent Takes Gloomy View of Political Situation. To the. Editor of the State Journal: The political clouds are already gath ering thick and black in Kansas. All around the horizon is a murky atmos phere, surcharged with party corruption and boodleism. The flashes and peals of the press here and there is only the rumbling of the distant thunder that heralds the coming storm. With an eai close to the ground may be heard the sharp Quick commands of the bosses and machine managers as they wheei their forces into line for the pending struggle. Ammunition is being manu factured and stored for use. Each di vision is piling up "dirt-works" and pre paring to outdo the other in charges of rascality and chicanery. The disclosures In Missouri are having a good influence, and men in high places are trembling that it may start the mills of the gods to grinding out exposures and sure ret ribution in other states as well. There may be a Daniel come to Judgment or a Joe Folk lurking around somewhere in the Sunflower commonwealth to emu late the democratic Moses. The flagrant wholesale violation of thu state constitutional prohibitory law, thu reign of organized anarchy, treason ana disloyalty, beer and boodle, cannot gi on in the Republican party forever. Missouri has reached the crisis, and Kansas will, when the cohorts of du plicity and dishonesty will be sifted by the people as with the whirlwind of the Almighty. The whole state is honey combed with confederated disloyalty anu treason. The 'Arions,' Turners, Eaglet,, Elks and their ilk, are the legitimate outcroppings of the old "Order of the Mystic Brotherhood" that bobbed up in the liquor trials at Lawrence under Leedy. They are the "Copperheads," "Knights of the Golden Circle" and "KuKlux-Klans" over again. They are bold, defiant, boastful. They boast thai the governor himself Is an Elk; that district judges are Arions; that mayors of cities are Turners. The legislature that inaugurated the present railroad liquor administration ran riot in extravagance and shady politics. It is the fruits of years of sow ing. The public is- startled; the anti machine press is alarmed; the pulpit is aroused; the air is charged like a very dynamo. Kansas is a seething volcano of pent up energies and deadly forces. In every Republican camp the call of the better element is "To arms.'" Is our treasury being looted, our officials suborned, our lawmakers corrupted, our taxes increased, justice turned into a roaring farce, and the dignity, honor and loyalty of Kansas trampled in the mud, by beer and boodle? William Allen White, the redoubtable Carry Nation and Blanche Boies are the rip ples on the surface. The splendid law and order majority for mayor of To peka, the loud protest from the secular and religious press against Bailey's ap pointment of his ideal, "Dick" Hayden, as probate judge of Shawnee county and, the activity of the Women and Home Defenders are unerring tndkla that the day of wreckening draweth nigh. Organized anarchy is infinitely worse and more dangerous to any community, state or government than desultory an archy. .The "Molly Maguires" of Penn sylvania. "Bald Knobbers" of Missouri, and Italian "Mafia", of New Orleans were not more thoroughly entrenched or more to be dreaded than this orga nized and organizing liquor mob of Kansas. It requires no prophet, sage or seer to see serious trouble just ahead of us. This bourbon mobocraoy that has the Republican -machine with the strong grip of the lion's paw and the state by the throat must be met by bal lots jay- bullets or Ue, vigilance commit tee.1 tMt Malt resdrp of an outlaid populace. M. N. BUTLER. IMPROVED SITUATION. A Favorable Change Noted in the Iron Harket. New York, Sept 1 3. Improving in quiry can be reported for manufactured iron and steel generally, says the Iron Age. The conditions which have gov erned trade in finished products have been unsatisfactory during the summer months, but it now quite confidently expected that favorable change is due. Autumn requirements are usually suf ficient to bring about a good Increase in the volume of business. Seasonable products, such as wire nails and wire fencing, are even now beginning to feel a better demand. In the case of struc tural shapes plates and some other pro ducts, a great deal of deferred business, held up on account of labor troubles ana the unsatisfactory condition of the mar ket for securities, will soon come uy for attention. Pittsburg advices are pitched in a more cheerful tone than for some months, transactions being on a larger scale and showing more continence among buyers. The influence of good crops In the west and south, which will be marketed at higher prices is beginn ing to be felt. Reports from other iron markets are generally of an encourag ing character. The east is at present the least favored in this respect. Prices of finished products are Well maintained, with the exception of light sheets, bar iron and some minor pro ducts. Transactions on foundry pig Iron are not on so large a scale as last week. A great deal of buying 1s in progress, but it consists of small lots, showing that consumers are conservative in anticipat ing their requirements and will be until they are convinced that this outcome has been reached. During the preva lence of high prices costs were consid erably increased and with the excep tion of coke these costs still prevail. Quite a number of furnace owners find that at current prices their margin of profit has disappeared and preparations are under way for the blowing out of a considerable number oi stacks. An interesting contest is possible be tween the independent sheet mills and the amalgamated association. The mlhs have asked for changes in some of thu union rules to enable them to compete on better terms with non-union mills, but their request has been refused. PASSES ALL RECORDS. Street Department Pay Holl for Aug ust, $7,000 For the month of August the pay roll of the street department passed all rec ords in the history of Topeka. Te total will be nearly or quite $7,000. The compilation of the pay roll Is not yet quite completed. One gang of teams has not been reported, but ex clusive of this gang, which includes about 15 teams, the total on the pay roll is $6,728.32. There appears on the pay roll the names of over 200 men and nearly 100 teams. This is a record breaking "street gang." Of course nearly the whole of the $7,000 has been spent in North Topeka. Work on this side of the river has been put aside to enable every force to be concentrated In the business of clean ing up the North side. Commissioner Williams in Colorado Election Commissioner T.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTRXAI THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 3, 1&03. 8 POLICEJOJTINGS. The Usnal Burglary Was Re ported This Morn inc. llou3 of Charles Robinson Is Ransacked by Thief. "LITTLE JOE" FREED. Jointist That Councilman Nellis Helps Raid Is Not Uuiltj. Story of Chickens and Some Bad Words. The police would be shocked ifa night passed without a burglary. They have a night to carry, as two burglarisms were committed night before last. Only one has been reported so far for last night. It was the friskency of the resi dence of Charles Robinson at 1224 Har rison street. The prowler cut a hole in the mosquito interrupter on a window, searched the house and went away shy on booty. He failed to place his mitts on anything which suited his fancy. He made a little noise in going away, probably to show his disregard for the ho.itst sleep of the householder who forgot to leave his valuables lying loose. A search revealed the fact that he had peeled off his shoes before mak ing an entrance. Had Councilman Nellis been present at police court this morning his soul would have been wracked with anguish. "Little Joe" Allen, the diminutive joint ist whom he assisted in raiding last Saturday night, escaped without a scratch. The court heard the sad story of the raid., how "Little Joe" (and ten other men) were found doing nothing in the place at 609 Kansas avenue, after the doors had been chapped down or "LITTLE JOE" ALLEN GOES FREE. torn up by the roots and Neilis and his retinue had come in. How the cool, calm keg had been outraged by being set under the faucet and filled with water end the cash in the register was homeless, no one claiming it. "De fendant dis-charged," remarked the court as he wrote the whole thing in his side docket. (The court has a dis agreeable habit of writing everything in the side floeket while the trial is going on, thus wasting lots of the joinl ists' valuable time which should be spent in distributing brew.) After the trial Judge Alagaw grabbed the rash taken from "Little Joe's" place and gave the jailer a receipt for "$24.70,due me as attorney for Curtis and Cave." Last evening the court was called upon to hold an investigation over the conduct, habits and vocabulary of one ff Embellishing the House A FASHIONABLE as well as a really artistic and unique ef fect in fitting up the library or sitting room can be obtained by the upbuilding of an Indian cozy corner. For this the chief essential may be said to be Navajo blankets, which serve alike for a couch covering and for rugs. These blankets range in price from to J500. The finest speci mens are old bayettas. which are very scarce and expensive, as no duplicates re produced in the present day. The colors used in these, especially the red, were obtained from cloth brought Into Alexlco by the Spanish and sold to the padres, who in turn sold it to the In dians at a handsome profit. This fine cloth was raveled and the thread woven into blankets. It will thus be seen that the cost of the materials was large in the beginning-, and as it Is long since any of this variety has been made the bayet tas are quite rare. But they are very durable and the colors are absolutely unfading. Then there are the more common and less expensive blankets woven by the Navajo squaws of the present day. These Indians raise the sheep, make their own yarn and dye it with colors obtained from herbs and minerals. A bright reddish orange or flame color enters largely into the color ing; also scarlet, black, white and blue. The skill with which the savages blend the colors and weave the intricate pat terns is wonderful and curious. Every thread is woven in and out the warp on the rough.loom by hand and pressed down tightly with a little stick until the rug Is as stiff as a board. For a couch covered with one of these blankets there are sofa pillows made of sheepskins in red. green, orange and all the shades of tan and brown. Some are painted with Indian heads and some are worked in beads, so that you may repose with your cheek resting against the war paint and feathers of the blood thirsty Geronimo or Rain-in-the-Face. while your feet are holding down Sit ting Bull or some of his ilk. These cushion covers are made from a skin much larger than the cushion proper, the superfluous edges being slashed to make a deep fringe and the top and bottom covers laced together over the cushion with colored cord or ribbon passed through holes made in the leather. There are also cushions cov ered with wool materials In bright col ored stripes and designs, filled with fir and pine needles, while some may be covered with beautiful Mexican drawn work, put on over a dark color. The wall behind your couch may be draped with one of the bright colored Mexican scrapas or shawls, the artistic value of which is beyond price, but in Simon King, who has reached the allot ed three-score-and-ten. The patriarch was arrested for "cusein" a neighbor. It seems that said King is the owher and proprietor of certain hens and their male escorts, who were in the habit of deWing In the garden sass of said neighbor. Said neighbor made a kick to said King, and the result was that HE USED SWEAR WORDS. he was handed a bunch dating from the vocabulary of long ago. Said King resurrected cuss words and terms of endearment which were interred in the days of Andrew Jackson. The offending hens paid strict attention to the one sided discourse, and tried to repeat it. Whereupon said King was pinched for disturbency of the peacefulness. The court heard the evidence, viewed the remains and turned Uncle Simon loose. But he told Simon not to do it again. Not long ago the police grabbed one George Brown, black, who was wearing a large gun. He explained that he was a traveler, and had only stopped over in Topeka between trains. They told him to catch the next train, and let him go Instead of doing so he lingered in the village, which suited him better than other places he knew. He went to the North side, and in the vicinity of Frank Raynor's joint on Curtis street, engaged in a game commonly known as craps. The bones did not roll to suit his fanev, Vi a Araw tHu rovnlupr aforementioned. and put one Irving Bradshaw, also col ored, on tne move. 1 nen air.

Thai, frnt Yt in ST( a qucBiiuu i"1- s in police court last evening the court handed him one which reads, "$50 or 50 days in the refrigerator." Yesterday, in the midst of the after noon, a disturbance was pulled off in a "resort" down near First street on the east side of the avenue. May Burno got a poke in the jaw from one Chas. Burno, her alleged husband. She raised a "hol ler," and the result was that the whole house was pinched. The pugilistic hus band was charged with fighting. Mad ame B. was picked for keeping a disor derly house, and Jennie Seig and May Crafner as inmates of the same. "Smoke" Williams was found under a bed. He was In a comatose condition, which means that he was tolerably drunk. He was deposited in the patrol wagon, but before the rest of the gang were corraled. he awoke and made his escape. Two hours later he was found, wearing the same dream, in a pile of lumber. In police court last evening Mr. Eiurno was fined $10 for fighting and the balnnce of the gang, with the exception of the Crafner girl, who was turned loose, will have a hearing on their re spective charges this afternoon. No Such Name Known. Cincinnati. O., Sept. 3. Dispatches re ceived here say that a man supposed to be Charles H. Blake of Cincinnati shot himself near Los Angeles last night am' that the name of Luella Helena West of Covington. Ky., appeared on papers in his pockets. No such name as Charles H. Blake appears in the directories of Cin cinnati or Covington or adjacent towns. It is thought the victim might be Benja min J. Vest. formerly principal of schools at Newport. Ky.. who has been traveling in Southern California, and that Luella Helene West is his wife, but she is not known in this locality and all efforts to locate the parties have failed. trinsically it is anywhere from to to $60. Or you may decorate the space with such interesting trifles as the "head ache sticks'' (war clubs) of the Sioux and Apache tribes. These harmless looking weapons are made of a smooth, oval stone as large as a good sized hen's "gg, fastened in some ingenious manner to a utrong stick about a foot long, which serves as a handle. The whole is then wound tightly with strips of thin leather and completely covered with de signs in bright colored beads. The top of the handle is decorated with little tassels or fringes of slashed leather. However innocent and ornamental these playthings may look, upon exam ination you will decide that a good, hard tap administered by a strong and supple savage wrist would crack a skull of almost any density and cause aa severe a headache as any quantity of mm leather Sofa Pillow lobster a la Newburg, or cold beans and hard cider overnight. There are also Tuscarora and Win nebago tomahawks, which give you the shivers to gaie upon, even though they are hung by an inoffensive ribbon to the ornate peg in your coziest den.

If my methods of treating diseases were not superior to others I could not effect so many cures. Ask any who have been treated by me. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 20. 1902. This is to certify that I commenced treatment with Dr. Brower six months ago for asthma and dropsy. When I com menced treatment I could not even lie down to sleep. I weighed 310 pounds, now I weigh 270 pounds. Now I sleep and eat well and can lie down. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Brower's treatment. W. H. MORROW, SR. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I can cheerfully indorse Dr. Brower's treatment for eczema, piles ar.d constipation. Persons suffering from any of the above or kindred diseases may find a quick relief and cure. Not only do I indorse Dr. Brower for his skill in dis ease, but for his humaneness. I have found him thoughtful, kind and consider ate of his patients: so many of humanity have lost their humaneness, not so Dr. Brower. I speak from experience as well as from observation. God bless Dr. Brow er. C. P. CARKUFF. Pastor Wesleyan Alethodist Church. Topeka, Kan., July 22, 1903. I am glad to certify that Dr. A. A.

From its fruit large quantities of oil and tallow are extracted, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, w-hen all the leaves have fallen.

At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the bread fruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. It is said to be equally good and nutritious. In South America we find the milk tree. Philadelphia Public Ledger. Everybody reads the State Journal Heads of chiefs In war paint and feathers on whole sheepskins may be tacked up around the wall with ex cellent decorative effect, and the beau tiful baskets of the different tribes may be scattered about with as much pro fusion as the purse allows. The most beautiful of these baskets are made by the Moqui or Hopi tribes. These In dians live on the buttes of northern Arizona, and the beauty of coloring- and symbolism of their baskets outrival all the other tribes. Their large ceremonial baskets make imposing ornaments. Then there are Hoopa acorn baskets; Porno, Klamath, Shasta, Shoshone. Apache, Pima and a host of others, not omitting the sweet grass and splint baskets of the northern Indian. The latter baskets are easily woven, and the materials can also be obtained from the Indian goods stores. Indeed, the mak ing of these baskets, as well as some of the more difficult kinds, has become quite a fad. There is no difficulty in making them if a book of instructions is obtained, and in some places classes are formed for teaching the art. The little birch bark canoes; baskets and boxes are both pretty and orna mental. Some of these fashioned by the northern Indians are worker1, with porcupine quills in red, blue, green, purple and white in queer artistic de signs. Among the most highly prized treasures of my childhood was a little workbox made from the brown inner bark of the birch, embroidered thickly with porcupine quill work In bright colors, especially the cover, which had strong hinges of the quills. I have seen. too, ornamental toboggans, snowshoes and other articles of a similar make. A corner shelf to hold some of the smaller things may be covered with piece of sheepskin, with a slashed fringe hanging from it and festooned with one of the necklaces made of black hawks' beaks, tipped with vermilion and strung with large Deads alternating with the beaks. Or perhaps you -would prefer a necklace of buffaloes' teeth, stained red and strung also with beads be tween. The gory looking teeth have a disagreeably human appearance, and in these days when the necklace holds do minion one can imagine the sensation an up to date and faddish dame would make should she appear with one of them depending from her fair neck. A corner furnished in this way might not be a cheap one, but it would be very odd and interesting. EDITH CLARK TEMPLETON. Save Tiaaa Paper. Try saving every scrap of tissue paper that comes into the house for wiping looking glasses. It gives a pe culiar luster to the glass. I hereby certify that my little boy had eczema all his life in the worst form. I paid hundreds of dollars out for patent medicines and doctors eight different doe tors but he got worse all the time. Dr. Brower made a contract with me to treat and cure the little fellow and I am happy to say that he fulfilled his contract. The. little fellow is well and as fat as a pig. FRANK SANDERSON. This is to certify that I had eczema for eight years and a very bad form. I treat ed with many doctors, but got no relief. I tried everything I could hear of, but got no relief. My hands were so bad at times that-life was a burden. I could not sleep or work.- I oommenced taking Dr. Brow er's treatment some six months ago and I can cheerfully say that I am well: I can not speak too highly of his treatment. MRS. JESSIE CURRY, MR. A. A. CURRY. Topeka, Kan., July 17, 19(13. This is to certify that I have suffered with tumor for years and was pro nounced by good doctors incurable. I was the most miserable person on earth and was preparing to die, for life was a misery to me. I took six weeks' treatment of Dr. A. A.

i! BT MRS. M. In RAT5E. 1 Th makeshift of poverty ara ot- tn eo mlDi'rablo as to suggest to tha thoughtlul the devices of genius whereby some paltry subterfuge be comes majestic in its proportions through the glory of success, as mere pinchbeck turns by the same subtle alchemy into pure gold. The tricks of trade are as necessary to the butch er, the baker, the candlestick maker as the market for his wares, and if he is benefited and no one hurt there by, why should we condemn themT As simple a method as luck in odd numbers rules the world, and was In vcgue long before saucy Rory O'Mora employed it, and a first glimpse of the new moon decides many a busi ness deal to-day. When a man is down on his luck he will resort to al most any expedient to recoup his loss es, and as long as his trick is a harm less one and no one is injured there by, he should escape blame. The won der is that Fate, ignoring our des perate efforts, should allow us to ca jole her with a trifle. Jerome Bronson was a politician without a job. Politics had given him a sinecure fer four years poli tics had taken it away and left him stranded. The emoluments of office ad been used to retain It, and now Bronson found himself In actual want with a family dependent upon him. At this juncture the unexpected hap pened a friend whom he had fa vored in his brief hour of prosperity came to the rescue with a proposi tion. Simon Green said: "Bronson, you know that bunch of houses and the acreage property I own out at Malariaville, which I have been trying to sell for the la-t ten years? Now, If you will go out there and take charge of that enterprise, and stay there until you sell it out, I'll give you a house and lot besides a fair commission? What say, Bron son?" "That swamp? Couldn't think of it," answered the other despondently. "I'd rather dig my grave some other way. That low, sodden land is full of malaria and would kill us all off Inside of a year. My wife and chil dien are delicate now." "Yes, living hived up in a steam heated flat small woniler. Take them out of doors and let them run in the punshlne and see what it will do for them. No one has ever tried living there yet the name killed the place. It has the same altitude as the ad Joining villages, which are healthy enough, but it never had a boom. If you take up my offer I'll build side walks and put in the new system of draining, and with one family living there the spell will be broken.' and lots will sell like hot cakes. Tou look healthy enough for a sanitary recom mendation yourself, Bronson. Think It over." Bronson thought it over and caught at it as the proverbial straw. He moved his family to the prairie, where a cluster of unoccupied houses formed the nucleus of a future town, and Si mon Green gave him one of the best houses for his own, and he took hold with a will to make a boom. It came, but not until he had almost aban doned the project, the visitors who came on his invitation always remark ing on the extreme delicacy of his wife and children and their want of a vigorous constitution and a healthy color. In vain Bronson assured them that none of them bad ever been ill their appearance belied the truth of his assertion. At this point his fer tile brain developed an idea. The result was astonishing. In a week a delicate pink flush appeared on their cheeks and they ate better in a month they had the appetites of hyenas, and their red cheeks could be seen from the railroad station. Mrs. Green said she would give a hun dred dollars to get such a beautiful flush of health In the spring she should move to Malariaville, the name of which was now changed to Roseland. Meanwhile Mrs. Bronson was trying to live up to the duty she had taken upon herself, but it was hard work. As people bought and moved out there she and her rosy-cheeked family be came more and more popular from the health point of view. The new comers studied their mirrors to see If that splendid color was dawning In their cheeks, and that gave them a new interest In life that was fasci- nating and distracting. Then Mrs. Bronson said to her husband: "When you have sold the last house and lot we must move away. If the truth should come out we would be mobbed. We have really improved in health, and I hope we can return some day. I am growing fond of Rose land, and we will keep our home here." "Till this blows over, hey? I shonld think you would tarn pale at the thought, Alice." "Dont, Jerome; it was a lark at first, but it has grown to something serious. And the worst is that the question of health is not the consid eration. The whole thing now is a question of beauty, and women are so ehrewd I dread detection. They would absorb all the malaria in the county to obtain this natural flush." "Ive heard of painting a town red," said Bronson, slangily, "but His wife put her hand on his lipi and excluded what he was about to way, so he merely remarked: "You are an artist in your line, Alice."

In der daytime I vhas yelling und cheering, und by night I vhas dreaming dot I kill over forty men mit a crowbar. In two day more, but for my old womans. I vhas in der war. She speaks very softlv to me und says: 'Peter Voglestein, It vhas all right to be a patriot, but I like you to stop und think. You vhas forty years old.

In Avoiding Work Tramps, for In stance, Expend Much Energy?1 "Did you ever'n'oti'ce how hard some men will work to keep from working?" said i man who keeps tab on things ot a. curious kind. '"If you haven't you have missed something that will entertain you for a while when you have nothing else to do. Take the man who shirks his work and as a rule you will find that the act of dodging what he should do will vastly in crease the amount of Work which he is forced to do. The man who shirks never has a smooth way of it. Things which he had hoped would redound to his good he finds to be really to his disadvantage. In stead of shirking decreasing the amount of work which the shirker must perform It increases the work.

Of course, many of the beggars and tramps roaming over the country belong to the hardened criminal class, and they are simply out to loot in whatever way they can do it.

I have known not a few instances of men who would burn up $5 worth of muscular energy and time in an effort to get 5 cents for 'nothing,' as they were pleased to think, and it never once occur red to them that instead of gaining 5 cents they had actually lost 4.95."
