FRIDAY EVENING, TWO GENTS. 4- READY TOSETTLE Acting Governor of Beirut Will Render Satisfaction For the Attack Made Upon Vice Consul Magelssen. QUIET IS RESTORED. Business Is Improving and Con fidence Is Returning. The Imperial Troops Have Re captured Vazilko. Washing-ton, Sept. 11. The following bulletin was posted at the navy depart ment today: "Admiral Cotton telegraphs from Beirut, September 10, that the governor general of Damascus has been appointed acting governor general at Beirut and has expressed a desire to settle the case of the American vice consul satisfac torily to the United States government. Beirut quiet, business improving, con fidence increasing. Salonica. Wednesday, Sept. 9. The palace authorities, acting upon informa tion received yesterday from the Turk ish minister at Belgrade, have tele graphed to the vali of Kossovo, in structing him to guard the Servian frontier mure carefully, because the Ser vian revolutionary committee was hold ing meetings at many places, organiz ing bands, distributing bombs and ex plaining the method of using them. Constantinople, Sept. 11. An official dispatch received here announces that the imperial troops recaptured Vazilko on the Black sea, on Sunday last, after the insurgent force occupying the place had beeri attacked by 2,000 Turkish troops with two cannon. The release of Abdul Kader, the nat uralized citizen of the United States from imprisonment at Tripoli, Syria and the dismissal of Keshid Pasha, the vali of Beirut, are taken to indicate that the granting of the other demands of Minis ter Leischman will not be long delayed. The American consul at Beirut reports that the situation there is improving, thanks to the confidence inspired by Nazim Pasha, who has succeeded Reshid Pasha. Humors of fresh outrages con tinue to reach Constantinople, but these representations are deliberately spread with the object of creating the impres sion that the pieKLnt situation at Beirut was provoked by the arrival there of the United States warships. As a mat ter of fact a desperate state of affairs is chronic at Beirut. Insecurity has preaviled there for months, practically Uuoughout Iteiuhld I'asha's. tenure of otlice. The present grand vizier six-months Rgo ask?d the sultan to remove Reshid Poshi, but the latter s supporters at the palace were too powerful. Reishid I'asha is alleged to have made a large fortune by corrupt administration. He owns extensive property in Cyprus. A fresh engagement occurred at Klisura. Albania, September 6. A strong band of ii surgents attacked the Turks who were occupying the town. Reinforce ments were speedily sent to Klissuri and the insurgents were repulsed after a sharp fight. Both sides hist heavily. A consular report from Salonica sa s that Hon insurgents at Zinlitza district f Kasturia, who surrendered after they had been surrouned, were massa cred by Turkish soldiers. The Hamodieh (Kurdish), cavalry regimert was called hack as it was ntraining for Adrianople. It is be lieved this was due to a protest against the employment of Asiatic- troops made ty one of the embassies. Paiis. Sept. 11. Reports received by the foreign office here from Constanti nople say th-'re is renewed agitation ugainst the Mussulmans within the city find fears are expressed of a possible Mussulman attack on the Christian population. This agitation followed the nppearance in the Turkish papers of ac counts of the Bulgarians of the dyna miting trains and blowing up the steam boat Vaskupu. The government con sidered that official sanction of the pub lication of the news was the best means to avoid exaggerated stories of the ex plosions. As the government had rigorously suppressed any mention of exnlosions during the past twenty years, the re cent publications caused widespread agitation. The official report says the Mussulmans are eager to avenge the outrages, and states that the feeiing is so intense that if the Bulgarians com mit any further destruction the Mussul mans are likelv to take redress by at tacking the Christian population. Earn est 1 epi esentat ions on the subject have ben made to the norte. which has Hiven assurances that ample precau tions will be taken and has reiterated Its confidence that it will be able to control the situation. Paris. Sept. 11. The commander of the French Mediterranean squadron at Toulon, has received orders to hold In readiness to leave for the Levant a na val division consisting of the battleship Brenner, the armored cruiser La touch" Treville, the sei ond-elass cruiser Ve riayla and the third-classcruiser Ijnois, under the command of Admiral Jaur guiberry.

Cv, Gordon Turns Over the Weil Know ii Hotel. James Chappelle Leases Build ing and "Buys Furnishings. AX OLD HOTEL MAN. hew Proprietor Couies Kansas City. From Col. Gordon Retires Hotel Business. From A big change is anounced in Copeland county today. The Copeland hotel, which has been owned and operated nearly a quarter of a eentury by Colonel J. C. Gordon, will on next Tuesday pass into the management of James Chap pelle, who comes here from Kansas City. Mr. Chappelle does not purchase the hotel property itself, but he buys the furnishings and leases the hotel for a. period of five years. While Mr. Chap pelle did not state the consideration, it is understood that it will be J400 a month. I COL J. C. GORDON. Who has retired from the hotel business today after over 40 years service. The new manager would pass for a good double of Samuel Forsha of Hutch inson. He has the same kind of a big athletic frame, pink complexion and yel low Vandyke beard. A short mstanc: away his best friend could not tell him f 'if i Ht'& AT i. from the Reno county alfalfa king. He j temptlng Tr3a. If h. fails has been in the hotel business in differ- j to require this affidavit he i3 liable to ent capacities for the past dozen years, ia criminal prosecutiofi." No othwpftr and is an old time friend of F. M. Cur- 'son than the probate judge is outhor tis, who has been behind tiie desk at i ied to inquire into the existence of the the Copeland for the past few years, and who will conitnue there under the new management. He was manager of the Nelson at Rockford, 111., for a time, and has been connected with the Kirk wood at Des Moines and other Dig ho tels and restaurants in Chicago and at Butte, Montana. He comes here from Kansas City, where he has been man aging the McClintock restaurants. No immediate changes will be made in the hotel under the new management. It will still be known as the Copeland, as it has during the years that Cope" Gordon has been running it. "I may make a few minor changes in a short time," said Mr. Chappelle today, "but if any big changes are to be made they will come later when there appears to be necessity for them. No radical changes will be made at present." Colonel Gordon's career as a boniface in Topeka has been almost co-extensive with the history of Topeka itself. He came her in 1858 and engaged in the grocery business. Soon afterwards he and Mrs. Gordon were married in the old Topeka house which stood where the federal building is now, it is said to have been the first public wedding in Topeka. It was not long after this that Col onel Gordon built the old Gordon house where the Throop house now stands. He ran it until 1S79, then he built the new part, practically as the Throop now stands, and afterwards sold it. The following year he built the Cope land, which was opened in the fall of 1880, and he has been running it ever since. It has become famous as the headquarters of the Republican party in Kansas and "Copeland county," an expression coined by F. 1. Vandegrift to include the politicians who hold con ferences in the Copeland. has become famous beyond the boundaries of the state. Colonel Gordon will retire from the hotel business. He will probably con tinue to live at the Copeland during the winter, or until he finds residence prop erty that he wishes to buy. HE IS DEFIANT. Murderer Hoffman Refuses Surrender or Leave. to St. Txiuis. Sept. 11. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Waterloo. III., says William Hoffman, murderer of his father-in-law. William Brandt at Maes town, has refused the pleadings of his aged grandmother, his mother and his wife, as well as of other friends, to sur render or to leave the country. Ho was offered a guarantee of protection from lynching if he would surrender, or plenty of money if he would leave the country, but refused to entertain either proposi tion. Sheriff Ruch declares that he will make every effort to capture Hoffman and today increased his posse from 25 to 50 members. He has found it difficult to secure men as Hoffman's reputation as a desperate man and a sure shot is thoroughly established. Water Shuts Off Lights. Arkansas City. Kan.. Sept. 11. The Wal nut river is up nine and one-half feet and still rising. The electric light plant is prevented from using its power and the city is in darkness. The Arkansas river shows a rise of two feet. The high watr is caused by the heavy rains norih of this city. Weather Indications. Chicago, Sept. 11.

THEY MUST QUIT' IT. Probate Judge Scored for Issu ing 151 a nk Marriage Licenses. Information was received at the at torney general's office today that some probate judges in Kansas have been in the habit of delivering mar riage licenses in blank, bearing their signature and seal, to favored notaries public and justices of the peace, and that these officers, on application of persons desiring to marry, fill out the licenses and perform the marriage cer emony. In replying to an inquiry as to whether this procedure is legal, Assist ant Attorney General Close roundly scores officials who do such things, as it is illegal. He also calls attention to the fact that rotaries public have no authority to perform the marriage cere mony, but under a decision of the su preme court such marriages are held as binding. Mr. CHose says: "This proceeding is in every respect reprehensible. It is in violation of the statute, and contrary to every consid eration of upblic policy. The statute confers upon the probate judge the duty of issuing marriage licenses to those entitled thereto, and under se vere penalties prohibits his issuing them to those not entitled. To send a blank marriage license to an unauthor ized person to fill it out and deliver it to whomever he sees fit, is not issuing a license as contemplated by the sta tute. Section 4013. general statute of 1901, provides that the probate judge shall require the applicant to make an facts set forth in the affidavit. "The law wisely provides that cer tain persons shall not enter into mar riage relations with each other, and the determination of the fact as to whether any impediment to the inter marriage of such persons exists, is a judiciary act. and the performance ot j it cannot by the probate judge be dele j gated to any other person, j "Notaries public cannot legally per iform a marriage ceremony. This au Ithoritv is onlv conferred on judges. justices of the peace, and licensed preachers of the gospel, and these per sons can only do so on a marriage li cense legally issued. However, under the decision of State vs. Wralker. 36 Kan. 297. persons who entered the mar riage relation before a notary public on "one of these invalid licenses are le gally married to each other, but that does not exempt the probate judge from his liability to prosecution." BANlTCALL ISSUED. Date for Report Sept. 9. Will Be A call for reports of the condition of all banks at the close of business on September 9 was issued today. The comptroller of the currency at Wash ington issued the call for the renorts from the national banks, and Bank Commissioner Atbaugh issued the call for the reports from the state banks. There is doubtless considerable wheat money in the banks by this time, and the deposits of the banks in the wheat belt will undoubtedly show a' big in crease over the last call. ALL TO HER SISTER. Miss Clark Wrote Her Will Be fore Committing Suicide. San Francisco, Sept. 11. Miss Isabella Clark, who committed suicide yesterday at Dr. McNutts hospital, where she had been forsome time undergoing treat ment for nervous prostration, left a will bequeathing practically all of her prop erty to her sister. Mrs. Grace Strohne, of Chicago. The will is an olographic one and appoints Dr. McNutt the execu tor of her estate, which is of great value. Miss Isabella Clark was one of the daughters of W. S. Clark, who came to California before the discovery of gold, acquiring much real estate in San Fran cisco, Santa Clara county and other sec tions. Mr. Clarke was one of Califor nia's earliest millionaires. Miss Clark's will was written during Wednesday night. It has not been filed for probate and its exact contents are unknown except to Dr. McNutt. Must Fay Cash for Drinks. Leavenworth. Kan.. Sept. 11. The sol diers at Fort Leavenworth will hereafter find it difficult to buy drinks at Leaven worth saloons on credit. The soldiers at the post received their pay Thur.iflay and saloonkeepers flocked there to collect ac counts. But before they had reached the headquarters where the men were beir.i paid a major met them and turned them back. Informing them that no saloonkeep er would be allowed on the reservation to collect bills. The order is a. severe blow to the saloonkeepers, who will lose thou sands of dollars by it.

THERE'S NO RUSH. Prospective Lawyers Numerous in Kansas. Not Only Four Have Applied to Ex amining Board. RULES ARE STRINGENT Applicant Must -Face Very Se vere Test. Kules That Will Govern the Kansas Examinations. It does not look as though there will be any great rush of would-be attorneys at the first examination given for ad mission to the bar under the new state law taking admissions out of the hands of the district court and pfacing them in the hands of the supreme court, which has instituted a commission to give ex aminations to applicants. Under a rule adopted by the supreme court applicants must send in their ap plications to the clerk of the supreme court in sufficient time for such names to be posted in the clerk's office at least 30 days before the examination. The first examination will be given on the second Monday in October, or October 12. Thirty days before that date will be September 12, so the time for posting the names of applicants will expire to morrow. Thus far only four applicants for ad mission have sent in their applications. These are posted, in the office of the clerk of the supreme court. They are as follows: Frank G .Walling, Wichita. William Franklin Jackson, Fort Scott. Kdgar C. Warfel. Mound City. James Webster Finley, Chanute. When it is remembered that this ex amination embraces the entire state and that it will be impossible for any law student to be admitted to the bar again until next February, this number seems very small. It would seem to indicate that lawyers will not hereafter attempt admission until they are thoroughly pre pared for it. Rule 26 of the supreme court regard ing admissions provides for the admis sion to practice in the supreme court, of attorneys who have been admitted to the bar of the district courts prior :o June 1. 1U03. The rules regulating the examining commission are as follows: "No. 26. Petition Contents. In all cases other than those provided for in Rule 25, applications for admission to the bar shall be made by petition to this court. The petition shall be in the handwriting of the applicant, shall be verified by his affidavit, and shall state his full name, residence, and place and date of birth, and, if foreign born, the facts showing that he ia a citizen of the Vnited States, and the place of his resi dence and his occupation during the five years immediately preceding the appli cation. Where the applicant has been admitted to practice in any other state or territory, his petition shall also state the time and place of such admission, the place or places where he has been engaged in practice, the time of practice in each place, and whether any proceed ings have ever beun for his disbar ment, and, if so, when, where, and with what result. Where the applicant is a graduate of a law school, his petition shall state the name and location of the school and the date of his graduation. Where the applicant has not been ad mitted to practice in the highest court of any other state or territory, and is not a graduate of a law school, his pe tition shall state his general educational advantages exclusive of legal study, and where and for what time, with whom, or in what law school or under what supervision hfs legal studies have been pursued, and the works read in the course of such legal study. "No. 27. Board of Examiners Time, Place and Nature of the Examination. Upon any such petitions being filed with the clerk of this court, he shall post the name and address of the applicant in a conspicuous place in his office for a per iod of 30 days, after which the petition shall be referred to five attorneys to be appointed by this court to investigate and report upon all such applications, who shall constitute, and be known as, 'the board of examiners of applicants for admission to the bar.' Appointments of members of such board will be in writing and will specify the duration of the term of each appointee. The board shall meet at Topeka on the second Mondays of February, June and Octo ber in each year for the examination into the qualifications of applicants, and for other purposes connected therewith at such times as it may determine. Three members of the board shall con stitute a quorum. Examinations rela tive to the learning of such applicants shall be oral or in writing, or partly oral and partly in writing, in the discretion of the board. They shall be held in the court room of this court, unless other wise provided, and shall be open to the public. They shall include an inquiry into the general learning of each appli cant, as well as into his learning in the law. and the applicant shall be required to show educational attainments sub stantially eouivalent to the results of completing an ordinary high school course of study. "The general character of such exam ination and the standard required for a favorable report shall be as nearly uniform as practicable. Investigation into the other qualifications of appli cants shall be conducted in such, man ner and be determined upon such proof as the board may require. As soon as practicable after the completion of an examination the board shall file a re port with the clerk of the court recom mending the granting or the denial of the petition of the applicant. When ever such report shall recommend the granting of the petition, unless some reason shall appear to the contrary, the court will make an order admitting the applicant to practice in all the courts of the state, which order shall become effective upon his filing with the clerk an affidavit containing the statutory oath, subscribed and sworn to by him before some officer authorized to ad minister oaths. Upon the making of such order and the filing of such affi davit, the clerk shall issue to such ap-i plicant a certificate of his authority to practice law in this and all inferior courts of the state, and shall enter his name on the roll of attorneys of this court. Whenever the board shall rec ommend a denial of the petition, an or der will be made to that effect. It shall be the duty of every member of the bar of this court to aid the court and the board of examiners in the in vestigation concerning the character and qualifications of all applicants for admission to practice, and to commu nicate to the board any information known to them affecting such matters." RULES OF THE BOARD. In addition to these, the examining committee has adopted the following rules relating to examinations: Rule 1 No applicant will be accept ed for examination in the law until he has satisfied the board (a) that he is a person of good moral character; (b) that he is possessed of the requisite general education.

Rule 3 A diploma or propely authen ticated certificate showing that the ap plicant has graduated from the State University or other accredited univer sity, college or high school will be ac cepted as prima facie evidence that the applicant possesses .the requisite edu cational qualifications to entitle him to an examination in the law. Where he has. no diploma or certiflcat of radu atioVi, affidavits of the applicant and his teacher or teachers may be offered, showing that he has pursued studies and work substantially equivalent to that required to complete an ordinary high school course. Such affidavits, in satisfactory form, will be regarded as prima facie evidence that the applicant possesses the requisite educational qualifications.

CONCORDIA GIVES UP. The Saloonkeepers and Joints Will Keep Open House. Concordia, Kan., Sept. 11. In the dis trict court here Judge Alexander knocked the iast prop from under the prohibition city government by holding void the city ordinance under which an unsuccessful attempt has been made to close the .Con cordia joints. The matter came up on a motion to quash the information in the case of Frank Johnson, fined in police court for violation of the city prohibitory law and from which an appeal was taken. The court held the ordinance faulty and discharged Johnson. Charles Stackhouse, who nearly killed W. V. Mackey with a stone in a fight at Simpson, crushing his skull, was acquitted in the district court. This ends the crim inal docket, the state failing to win a single case. SAFEBLOWN OPEN. At JSeriden Robbers Secured $460 Last Night. Safe robbers made a haul amounting to 1460 in Meriden, Kansas, last night about midnight. The safe In M. West's butcher shop was blown open with high explosives, and all the money It con tained, among which was two one hun dred dollar bills, was taken. The rob bers escaped, leaving no clue to their identity. Two men, strangers, were seen hang ing around there last week, and it is presumed that they were the robbers, and were getting pointers on the best place to rob. The men are described imperfectly, the only description being that they were both about 5 feet 7 inches in height. Corn Outlook Improved. Washington, Sept. 11. The monthly re port of the chief of the buceauu of statis tics of the bureau of agriculture will show condition of corn on September 1 to have been 80.1, as compared with 78.7 on August 1, 1803; S4.3 on September T. lTi; 51.7 at the corresponding date in 1901. and a ten year average of 79.3. These figures, as well as those on other crops, indicate the condition on September 1 and no at tempt is made to anticipate the result from future weather conditions. To Change Camp Site. Junction City, Kas., Sept. 11. An or der received at Fort Riley from depart ment headquarters ordering that the camp site for the maneuvers to be held on the reservation this fall be changed from' the Republican flats just north of Junction City to the Pawnee flats east of the ost, which site was occupied by the maneuver camp last fall.

Mr. Harger said Exceedingly fortunate am I in belnie permitted to address you at the begin ning of the school year even ueiore your learned professors have been able to give you of Jheir wisdom. Now, -with the sunshine of summer yet in your eyes and with the Joy of the prairie winds yet on your cheeks, you are wil ling to listen to the counsel and ad monition I had almost said admiration of those who have traveled farther up the hill of life. At the middle of the year you will know as much as we; at commencement, our poor harvestings from the fields of experience will sink into insignificant nothingness before the opulence of your attainments. Yesterday, at a hundred prairie sta tions, goodbys were spoken: father said, "Take care of yourself," and turn ed away to hide moist eyes; mothers tenderly bestowed the kiss of separation. As the train sped over the level track, soon to disappear in the dim distance, there may have been tears but they were cry sta lization of hopes for your future; of dreams of your accomplish ments. Today, in the homes of Kansas the thoughts and prayers are for th young men and the young women away in college and university making prep aration for the years to come. Let me tell you a secret. Kansas has drawn her will in your favor. Every thing now possesed by this generation has been bequeathed to you. This ob long bit of earth's fairest fertility, 80,000 square miles of it, capable of producing the largest wheat crops, the richest al falfa, the tallest corn, and the deepest floods of any commonwealth on the globe, equipped with herds and flocks, business houses and dwellings, with manufacturies, churches, schools, bank deposits, football fields and bargain counters, is yours all is your legacy. How will you develop your lives upon it? Is it not fair that your benefactors ask your plans? The next generation ought to do better than the past or the present, Those who were responsible for the state's early history have gone some to their reward above, some have mwely rone. Those of the present have not succeeded fully ir. btflnglng about perfection. Kansas is not heaven if it were, perhaps few of us would be here this morning except the ladles and the professors. We look to you to Improve it mightily. KANSAS HAS A KING. Kansas, supposed to be the birth place of freedom, has a king and an idol. It bows at the feet of the god of statistics. So many bushels of this, so many tons of that, so much monev, so much debt, so much gain or loss. Kan sas dreams of products and values. It takes its morning bath in averages, combs its hair with totals, and makes its meal on patent, predigested break fast food percentages. My generation is responsible not yours. We have deemed it better to know the per capita of the currency than the story of the Iliad; we have deserted the song of Shellev's lark for the clatter of the self-binder. Time was when this commercialism may have been necessary when It was lilt: in 1 1 v waif i .iii,., i with the opportunity for the ssttler. That day has cassed. What profits it to boast ot new school houses if the teachers be gtven no better recognition? Why herald the number of students in this mag nificent university if there must be a biennial struggle for funds to conduct it. and if we lose instructor after in structor because of the temptation of better salaries? The Kansan or tomorrow has before him the task of bringing, a higher ideal into the state, or rather of uplifting the people's thoughts to a realization of the greater things of this life. There may have been excuse for the viewpoint of other days: there cas be none for carrying it into the future. It is a time for virile, sympathetic, courageous bat tling for the higher life, for building here In our splendid commonwealth de votion to art's noblest aspirations. To whom is thia dutv more direct than to the college student of today? The Kansan of tomorrow will strivn less for the world's attention and more for the development of self. The weird rrocession of fakes and freaks that has afflicted the Sunflower state has given us notoriety but it has not added to our standing. One Ingalls, one John Brown, is worth more to the common wealth than any crop it ever raised. This Is only another wav of saying that the things of the soul are above those of the flesh. But it cannot be re peated too often, for unless it is a part of the life of our young men and young women it will never enter into the warp and woof of our civilization. It would be better far for the Kansas of to morrow to produce a Hawthorne or a Longfellow than a Pierpont Morgaft or a Carnegie. The captains of the in dustrial host strut the stage of today, but they will be forgotten when the kings of literature and art stand with ever-brightening names before the na tion. It has seemed to me that the average Kansan becomes cynical and exacting as he grows older; that somehow, too soon in his life's course he finds the en thusiasm of existence, the keen percep tion of nature's beauties, the sweet sympathy of youth fading, and in its place coming the materialism of age. It means that something has been lost, that within the soul dwells no more the deity of dreams. In the coming years of Kansas we shall see those who do not lose this nrecious gift, who feel through all the years of maturity and of age the impetus of high emotion, whose pens and voices, whose lives and influence, shall bring to the state a mightier glory. Drouths and floods de stroy the farm and the factory but they do not take from the possessor one iota of his soul-wealth. It requires years sometimes to replace a hail-j-uined crop, but the harvest of books and the riches of meditation are eternal. KEEN COMPETITION. The Kansan of tomorrow will have (Continued on Page Six4

'Harmlessly" Insane Man's Act at Medicine Lodge. Cuts His Sister-in-law's Throat With it Kazor. A RELIGIOUS MANIAC. Crept in the Room While Occu- pant Was Asleep. Only Trompt Action Prevented a Fatality. Medicine Lodgf, Sept. 11. The Index ays: Albert Ireland cut Mrs. S. W. Ire land's throat with a razor while under A evere strain of religious mania. She was cut almost from ear to ear circular ly and It required 13 Btiohes to sew up the wound. The wound was not deep enough to sever the arteries or the Jug ular vein and to this almost miraculous circumstance Mrs. Ireland owes her life. Her condition, as it is, is bad and she will be unable to be up for several days, but It Is nothing as compared with what vould naturally be expected from such an attack. S. V. Ireland and wife occupy a suite cf rooms In the Cook block and Albert has been staying; with them for the past lew 'weeks. He has a claim In Oklaho ma and has been here on a visit. He slept In a room adjoining the one In which his brother aftd wife slept and he pot into their room without making suf ficient noise to awaken them, and com menced the horrible work while Mrs. Ireland was asleep. Almost as soon as he touched her Mrs. Ireland awoke and ucreamed and this awoke her husband who was sleeping In another part of the room, who with rare presence of mind sprung at his insane- brother and hit him a hard blow on the head and daased him. He then got him out of the room by main force and called Emmelt McClenrley, who occupied another room adjoining, to engage Albert In conver sation while he (Steve) went for Sheriff llaun who came and took charge of Al bert. During all this time neither Mrs. Ireland nor her husband knew that she had been hurt. The room wtas dark and during the excitement'ria oris took time to light a lamp. But when Albert had been taken cave of, Mrs. Ireland began to feel weak and when attention was turned to her, her clothing were literally naturated with blood. Drs. Coleman and iLongenecker wef called at once and they dressed the wound and administer ed medicine, and though there was much loss of blood, the Information was soon given out that no large blood vessels weTe severed and that Mrs. Ireland would recover. Under the law a citizen of Oklahoma can not be kept in a Kansas asylum and hence Albert was taken to Alva yesterday where he will be adjudged in sane and taken to the Oklahoma asylum at Norman.

The storm was accompanied by a severe electrical display and a strong wind, which was of a threatening nature for a while. The farmers were much bene fited by the rain. A Lesson in Chess. The moral of the fate of young Henrv Smythe, the Philadelphia chess player vho went insane at Syracuse, is not o difficult one to read. The late Dr. J. G. Holland pointed it out as one of his "Les sons in Life," when he bade his readers hfware of becoming the slave of one idea. This unfortunate Philadelphia lad, not yet 19 years old, worked on chess problems, according to his father, until he could think of nothing else-, and his mind gave way under the strain. It need not he chess; the fixed idea may be. and it more frequently is. the deeper problem of the hereafter. The concentra tion of mind required of the successful chess player conduces unquestionably to "brain fug," however, and the incipient stages of insanity. Steinitz. mentally an infant outside the game, used to play it as a cure for the insiminia it had caused. Of him, at least. th;it which has been alleged of other professional players, was true: his phenomenal skill was developed at the expense of the more important faculties of his brain. That way lies mad ness or genius, either one. But the mod ern scheme of symmetrical education, like that of the Greeks, does not include the cultivation, but rather the repression of' abnormal tendencies or traits, be these gifis of the fiends or gods. With tha weight of an empire on his mind, Napo leon kept it in sound working order, ho declared, by oiling and using, not one or several, but all the essential parts of its marvelous machinery. New York Mail and Express. "Yes," said the alderman who was do ing a second term. "I believe in holding up our home industries." "For how much?" queried the newlv elected member, who was a seeker after the truth. Chicago Daily News. SPORTOiEWS. New York Americans Send Out a 11 ot Challenge. Wants Post-Season Between 11 is Club and Giants. PUTS BRUSH ON RECORD President Gordon Willing to An j Old Terms. Intimates That Nationals Are Not in His Class. New Tork, Sept. 11. I resident Gor don of the New York American league baseball te-iri has not givin up the idea of arranging a post-season series of games between his club and the Giants. Some time ago Mr. Gordon issued a challenge addressed to John T. Brush, president of the New York National league team. Mr. Brush answered, ab solutely refusing to arrange the series, saying1 in part that such a series would be a poor business proposition Mr. Gordon is still anxious to arrange the games and will try to show Mr. Brush that he Is wrong in turning the offer down. Mr. Gordon has sent the following letter to Mr. Brush, which explains the stand he takes In the matter: Mr. John T. Brush, President New York Baseball Club: x Dear Sir On August 16 the manager of the Greater New York baseball club wrote to the manager of the local Na tional league club challenging him to play a series of games. The reply. In which the challenge was declined, said that public opinion has demonstrated which of the two clubs is considered the superior. About the same time you were quoted in several newspapers as sayins: "I do not care to recognize the American league in New York. We do not know who these people are." While conceding your club has drawn more spectators than ours, I attribute this fact wholly to the better transit facilities to the polo grounds. This condition, however, is merely tempo rary. Next season will convey our pa trons from the oostoffice to our gates within 20 minutes. Notwithstanding the fact that the transit facilities to our park next year will far excel those to the polo grounds, I wish to go on rec ord now as saying that any challenge you may issue to the Greater New York baseball club hereafter will not be de clined because of our more advantage ous location. You say you "do not know who these people are." Let me introduce myself. When you were keeping a small cloth ing store in Muncie. Ind.. I was a di rector In the New York baseball club, the only local team which ever won and held the championship of the world. Inasmuch as you have been in New York barely a year, I can appreciate your lack of acquaintance. These matters, however, are trivial. My club wishes to play your club a se ries of cames for the local champion ship. You may name any reasonable conditions and I will accept them. I wish to show the public the difference between baseball and ping-pong. Per mit me to point out that my request for a series of games is neither unusual nor untimely. The American league and National league clubs in Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louis and the Cleveland American league and Cincin nati National league clubs have arrang ed to "lay. President Dreyfus of the champion Pittsburgs has challenged the winner of the' American league pen na. By asking your confreres you can find out who we are. By playing us you win r.na out wnat we are. Trusting that your stay thus far in New York has been pleasant, I am, dear sir. yours very truly. JOSEPH GORDON, Pres. Greater New York B. B. C. BILLY BUCK IN FRONT. With Ten Horses Participating the Black Gelding Wins. Haitford. Conn. Sept. 11. Billy Buck won the Charter Oak stake, a field of ten horses participating. He won in three straight heats, each heat being a race. Walnut Hall and Hawthorne pushed Billy Buck so hard that whip ping nnishes characterized every heat, the leaders being neck and neck as they passed under the wire. In each heat the first horse received $1,500 and the second $500. The remaining $4,000 was tnen divided according to the sum mary at the conclusion of the third heat, $2,000 going to the first horse, $900 to the second. $600 to the third, and $500 to the fourth. The final division. therefore, was: Billy Buck. $6,500: Wal nut Hall, $1,900; Hawthorne, $1,100, and In the first heat Walnut Hall had the pole and held the- lead all the way round, as tne horses passed under the wire the finish was so close that none could tell the winner, although some thought that it was either Walnut Hall's race or a tie. The decision of the Judges, however, was in favor of Billy Buck. In the next heat the same two horses fought it out, Billy Buck having the advantage of the pole and won by half a length in an exciting finish. vvnen tne norses in the third and last heat reached the distance flag it looked like Hawthorne's race, but Billy Buck made another of his famous rallies and swept under the wire, winner by a nose. mis time or z:u in the first heat is the record for the Charter Oak stake event.

Corbett Speaks of Munroev St. Louis, Sept. 11. When James J. Corbett was informed of the proposed match between James J. Jeffries and Jack Munroe he smiled, and with a re flective glance, said: "Well, I guess Munroe will get all that is coming to him when he meets Jeffries. Munroe may be anxious all right, but it won't be long before he has all the ambition taken out of him. I know what it is, and one can only learn by experience. I don't think Munroe has a ghost of a chance with Jeffries when it comes to fighting. Jeffries will put him out in a Jiffy." Corbett has met both Jeffries and Munroe, and therefore should be com petent to Judge. He has been knocked out twice by Jeffries,, and last winter he doned the gloves with Munroe to try the miner out. At the time of the meet ing Corbett said that Munroe had the making of a good fighter, but that he would take some time to become a great one. Racing at Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 11. Don Domo won his fourth straight race when he finished first in the $2,035 Sapling stakes, four furlongs.

Touchstone was third five lengths back Racing at Sheepshead. New York, Sept. 11. The Flight stakes at 6even furlongs, the feature of the f'ji rr at Rhconchaad 11 won hv the fft- vorite, Leonora.

TOPEKA STATE JOOTINAX, FRIDAY EVENHf G, 8EPTEIIRER H, 180i j H. i 7 BAILROADNEW& Advance Draft of Santa Fe An nual Report Tends to Justify the Boom in Santa Fe Stock. EARNED S PEIt CENT. Net Dividend on Common Will Be About 6. Will Try for Economy Record ext Year. Directors ol the Santa Fe road have approved a rough draft of the annual report shortly to be issued. It will how a surplus equal to S per cent, earned on the stock for the vear. be fore deduction of the sinking fund for the serial debentures. The company has reported earnings for twelve months, and they show a decrease in net of $1,312,520. The gross increase was $3,215,342, but expenses increased $4,527.ii4;i There will be a slight in crease in the fixed charges for the year, so that the sumlus over piferred divi dtmds afUr deduction of $2,500,000 for the sinking fund on serial debentures will be from $5,500,000 to $6,000,000, or to 6 per cent, on the common stock. For eisht monthsyended February 28 figures were ;iuMished in March show ing that the road had earned an in crease of nearly $2,000,000, with an in creased cost of transportation of but SJOO.WO. The increased cost of trans portation for twelve months is esti mated at not to exceed $500,000. on an Increase in gross earnings of $3,200,000. On the most liberal estimate the cost of conducting transportation for the year and general expenses did not ex ceed 24 per cent, of the gross earnings. When, in addition to this, there is al lowed $l,00i',0u0 for flood exjenses, it will be found that the exoenditures for maintenance and improvements in creased about $3,000,000 for the vear. Hy far the larger portion of this will repr'-st nt betterments, the result of which will be to permanently reduce the ratio of operating expenses. If these estimates are correct, the real earning capacity of the road for its last fiscal year was not less than 8 per cent, on the stock, after all deduc tions for sinking fund on the serial de bentures. Tnua the Santa Fe has been able to follow the policy of a dollar for dividends and a dollar for improve ments, besides providing an amount equal to 2Vb Per cent, additional on the stock for repayment of capital. The result ran not be regarded as anything but veil' satisfactory. It is stated in official quarters that the Santa Fe has adopted a policy of curtailing betterment expenditures in the current year and will defer the carrying' out of a number of plans call ing for the expenditure of considerable money. The property is now considered by the management to be in very fine physical condition as it exists, but cer tain plans w ere mapped out which were largely in the nature of new projects. These will not be carried out for the present. It is explicitly stated, how ever, that the chance of policy in this respect does not arise from any falling off in business, present or prospective. On the contrary, everything points to the conclusion that the present vear will be the most prosperous ever en joyed by the company. The real reason why nerv work is to be deferred will be Sound in the fact that in order to carry it out to completion it misht be necessary to go into Wall street for money, and this the' company is de termined not to do. MUST COME TO TERMS. Railroads Demand That St- Louis D-ive Out the Scalpers. The railroads of the entire country have notified the St. Louis authorities and exposition management that unless they take propt-r steps to prevent ticket scalping reduced rates will not be granted for the fair. The Chicago Record-Herald seys that thus far the St. I.ouls pre-le have shown apathy in the matter, and It is charged by Commis sioner Ionald, of the Central Passenger association, that the brokers at St. Louis are at present under police pro tection, no effort beinir made to punish them for ill-'gal us? of railroad tickets. The dilatory policy of St. Louis in this matter is difficult to understand because without rates which will at tract the public the exposition cannot be a success. The railroads take the position that they cannot be expected to make concessions unless the people of St. Louis provide rirotection against robbery through the misuse of tickets. It is called to mind that the railroads not only make liberal money contribu tions to such expositions but also spend large sums in providing the addi tional facilities whuh are recjuired. In addition they are asked to reduce the price of tl-.plr sole commodity, which is transportation. All other merchants cxi ept the railroad merchant increase the prices of the commodities in which they deal upon the occasion of an ex jsition. It would seem euu'.tahle, therefore, and also the part of wisdom for St. I-ouis to take such measures as 'it can to discourage the scalping busi ness. It is a well settled point of law that the contract Placed upon a railroad ticket is a valid one, and that the use THE GREAT HEADACHE CURE QUICK SAFE SURE DR. MILES' FAIN PILLS CURE ALL KINDS OF PAINS AND ACHES. What People Say: J. R. W. McBride of Indianapolis, late of the Indiana supreme court, says: "They re simply marvelous in their instanta r.eons reltpf." "1'r. Miles' Pain Pills never fail to cure tieariaehe n anv form, and I have given them to little children with the best of re fills and without any ill effects after ward. When mv daughter was conlined they greatly alleviated her suffering. In fact we cfinnlder them full legal tender for any kind of pain." Mrs. William Rob erts. Llmwnod. 111. "Dr. Miles- Pain Pills are a perfect rem edy for sick headache. I am never with ou them." Mary Kungert. Belleville, 111. Ir. Miles' Pain Pills never fail to cure headache, pain in the back of neck, cold Are a Quick, Safe, Sure and Speedy Cure for Pain of any kind. They are far superior to any remedy ever be fore used for Headache, Neuralgia, of a personal contract form ticket by any other person than the original holder is illegal, and therefore that the traffic in such tickets is illegal. That such is the case was held by Judge Woods when he en.ioined the ticket brokers from selling tickets Issued for the dedication of the St. Louis exDOSi tion. All St. Louis people would have to do. therefore, would be to act under Judge Wood's ruling to prevent the Illegal use of exposition tickets and thereby insure the railroads against financial loss. At nresent St. Louis Is filled with ticket brokers who expect to reap a rich harvest at the expense of the railroads, and something will have to be done soon to eradicate a condition which se riously menaces the success of the ex position. It is hardly expected that the people of St. Louis will ultimately be less solicitous in the matter than were the people of Buffalo. Washington, Bos ton and other cities which, upon the occasion of large gatherings, effectually prevented the illegal use of railroad tiekots. IN THE WATER TANK. New Kind of Sleeping Car for Mis souri Pacific Passengers. Some very odd things occur in this world and not a few of them come un der the observation of railroad men, says the Concordia Blade. One of these developed in the yards of the Missouri Pacific railroad, the discoverer being J. B. Jorz, inspector at this point for the railroad weighing association. The duties of Mr. Jorz, among other things, compel him to inspect and weigh freight transferred from one road to another and following this line of duty he yesterday inspected a car containing an engine and separator shipped from Abilene over- the Santa Fe and trans ferred to the Central Branch at this point, its destination being Stockton. The first thing Mr. Jorz noticed was that a couple of bicycles and a stove had been loaded on the car, hidslen so they would escape observation on a meiely casual inspection. This led him to look further, with the idea that he might find other goods on the car. that should be shipped in another class, but he was hardly prepared for what he found. Going to the water tank of the outfit he found the lid. which is only a foot square, nailed down with a couple of small nails, so he applied the bar and opened it up. His surprise may be imagined when he found on the inside not goods, but a man, lying on his back and taking his ease, he having adopted this. plan to beat his way. The man had but a small crack in the lid through which to breathe, but appeared to have suffered no lnoorrveience. He was or dered out of his rest and at once de camped. The presumption is that he was one of the threshing crew and had been nailed in by some of his compan ions to beat the railroads out of his fare. As the stove and bicycles were re billed from here at the regular rates for uncrated wheels, by the time the charges are raid the owners will find they aie not much to the good. BEGIN WORK JAN. 1. Fan-American Line Through Kansas to Be Built. Muskogee, I. T., Sept. 11. The survey of the Pan-American railway is being made in the Indian Territory. A corp of surveyors is at Okeemah this week and the line will be projected through Muskogee to Fort Gibson for a connec tion with the Cowan lines at that place. The main line of the Fan-American Is being surveyed from Winnipeg, Mani toba, to Aransas Pass, Texas, and it is expected that the survey will be com pleted January 1, when the work of construction will be begun. The line will be a direct one from the Hudson bay colonies to Buenos Ayres. The sur vey has been completed through to the south of North Dakota, and the engi neers now at work on the Indian Terri tory coal branch will push on to the Gulf r.t once. The line of survey enters Kansas near Superior, Neb., and leaves the state at a point near Anthony. Guthrie, O. T., and Shawnee are on the line, and from the latter place a line will be construct ed to Gibson through Muskogee. The main line will continue south from Shawnee to Aransas Pass, Texas, and will follow the Gulf coast line to the isthums, thence it will enter South America and cross the Andes at Bogota, from which point a direct line will be run to Buenos Ayres. An agent of the company who has spent several months on the continent this summer Is now in this city and he I reports that the construction of the line i will be commenced not later than the first of the year. This is the company which was incorporated in Guthrie, O. T., last month with a capital stock of $250,000,000. TRAINS FOR BANKERS. Santa Fe Will Run Three Specials for Their Convention.

Santa Fe to Burn Oil on the Winslow Seligman Division. R. B. Burns, chief of the engineers office of the Santa F"e coast lines, and A. Barmann, hydraulic engineer, spent several days here this week selecting a location for oil tanks, says the Flagstaff Sun. The site selected is across River de Flag, on the south side of the rail road track, and east of the residence of James L. Treat. The location is a favor able one to the town and to the railroad. The Santa Fe has concluded to burn oil as fuel in their locomotives on the di vision from Winslow to Selisman, and tanks will be put in at Williams, Flag staff and Winslow. The tanks at .Wil liams will hold 25,000 gallons of oil. Two will be put in at thi place, each hold ing 25,000 gallons and Winslow will have a 25,000 gallon tank. Work has already been commenced on the tanks and will be continued until all are completed. The tanks will be constructed with earth, excavations will be made to the desired depth, the oil will be rn direct ly into the tanks from the cars, avoid ing all unnecessary handling. It is necessary that the oil be heated to handle it easily and steam pipes will run through the reservoir and along the pipe line conveying the oil to the standpipe where it is taken by the locomotive. It will reqiure the service of a number of men night and day to handle the oil and the change will benefit the towns where the reservoirs are located. There will be no daneer from fire, should the oil ever catch on fire, as the location chosen here is distant from any houses, and the oil would run into the channel of the stream far below the town. PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN. Wabash and C. A. Employes Must Be Temperate. Bloomington, 111., Sept. 11. The Wa bash and Chicago Alton roads are renewing the campaign against em ployes who drink intoxicating liquors. Recently one of the best known engi neers on the former road was dis charged for violation of the rules in this respect, end a number of the expe rienced trainmen were also let out for the same fault. The Wabash announces that it will strictly enforce the order forbidding employes to frequent sa loons. It is declared that on the lead ing Illinois roads-the men who are ad dicted to stimulants are kept n the unimportant runs and that the men who avoid the excessive use of intox icants and tcbacco are given the pref erence when promotions are made. Nowadays when a man makes an ap plication for employment he is closely scrutinized for evidence of overindulg ence in liquor or tobacco, and is usu ally turned down if such evidence is found. The Chicago Alton adopted its rule 75, which forbids employes from frequenting saloons or resorts of a questionable character, about five years ago, and it is still enforced. SPEND A MILLION.

The shops when en larged will give employment to more than 6u0 men. ATCHISON POOR TERRITORY. Sugar Cannot Be Raised Successfully Around There. Prof. Knerr has been examining the sugar beets raised in and about Atchi son this year, from the. seed secured at Rock Ford last spring, and does not believe that they can be successfully cultivated in this section of the state. Prof. Knerr grew beets in his yard, which ran 13 per cent some time ago, but the recent rains have cut down the sugar fully one-ahlf. Beets raised by J. M. Bisel across the river in Missouri, ran 94 per cent sugar, and beets raised north of town 9 per cent. From 10 to 20 per cent of sugar Is necessary. At chison Globe. 526 FREIGHT CARS.

Eleven Miles of Sidetracks. The Rock Island Is now building eleven miles of sidetrack in the Armour dale yards. The new tracks when com pleted will have a capacity of 1,482 cars and will do much toward relieving the unfavorable conditions now prevailing in the yards. Rock -Island conditions have not been of the best for freight handling for some time, and in addition to the new track now being laid the road is contemplating the building of another freight house that will be used in conjuction with the present one. This will give the road an in and outbound freight depot and will do away almost entirely with any congestion of wagons at the depot during the day. Work on the Interurban Road.

Says High Water HI ark Has Been Passed in Pensions. Washington, Sept. 1L The annual reporf) of Commissioner of Pensions Ware daces the total number of pen sioners now on the rolls at 996,545, of which 725,356 are soldiers and 267,189 are widows and dependents. Mr. Ware announces that it is not probable that the pension roll will again cross the million line, the high water mark having been reached a year ago. Five of the pensioners are on the roll on account of the war of the revo lution, 1.116 on account of the war of 1812. 4,734 on account of Indian wars, and 13,874 on account of the Mexican war. The average annual value of each Dension is now $133. The total annual values of the Soanish war pen sion roll has reached $1,765,310. Commissioner Ware makes the fol lowing recommendations: Laws for feiting the pension or right to pension of any man convicted in court of an infamous crime; prohibiting the giving of uensions to women who marry sol diers after the soldifcrs become old pen sioners: a different method of examin ing applicants for pensions, Mr, Ware stamping the present system as un certain, expensive, unsatisfactory and generative of an enormous amount of political f'-iction. Mr. Ware says the bureau has gained on the current work 100,000 cases dur ing the last two years. The actual total of disbursements in pensions on account of the ravolution ary war. war of 1812, Indian wars. Mexican war. civil war and the war with Spain was $3,038,623,590. It is estimated that $16,000,000 was paid in pensions for disabilities and deaths due to military and naval serv ice in the war of 1812 and the Mexican war and during the time of peace prior to the war of, the rebellion, making the payments of pensions to soldiers and sailors of the war of the rebellion and of the regular military and naval es tablishment since the close of said war of the rebellion, 'and their widows, chil dren and dependent relatives, amount to $2,862,240,400. The cost of the present system per capita of population for 1903 is given as $1.75, to which figure it has shrunk from $2.24, the rate in 1S93. In ten years, he says, tha burden will cease to be noted. INTO POLICEMAN'S ARMS. Baby Tossed from Second Story of Burning Building. New York, Sept. 11.

The gambling houses of Leavenworth, in cluding the policy shops, are to be closed and there is consternation among the ZOO gamblers in the city. They are prepar ing to depart for other towns where gambling is allowed. By the closing of the gambling houses and policy shops the city will lose over $3,000 a month in revenue, or nearly enough to pay the running expenses of the city. The two policy shops alone pay. $1,300 into the city treasury every month. Despite this high license, one shop is said to clear $1,000 a month. The decision of the authorities to stop gambling is the re sult of a bitter fight between the dif ferent factions of gamblers. 7 Coffey County Fair. Burlington, Kas., Sept. 11. The Cof fey county fair opened with attendance better than the usual first day crowd. More than seven inches of rain fell this week and the track was heavy. The racing ostrich was a feature.

Franklin Gay, a farmer living near Greenwich, this county, was in Wichita and re ported the loss of his barn, orchard and a portion of his house which were blown away- by a cyclone on Tuesday afternoon.

United States Senator Piatt of Connecticut, has an nounced that he favors the nomination, of President Roosevelt as the head of the Republican national ticket.

Itiltcrileri cf the State Journal cti'ay during the summer tuny have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of thirty tents a month. Address changed as cjien as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. It Is said that General Bristow didn't atop even for Labor day. The Washington Post call Mt. Vesu vius the V. J. Bryan of the volcanic T. orlJ. Colombia stands a good chance of losing both the canal and the territory traversed by the route. The presence of American warships in Turkish waters appears to have caused a rmirked Improvement In the sultan's hearing. A St. Louis brewer Is showing his faith in advertising: by proclaiming the merits of his beer through the columns of. a Milwaukee newspaper. The business interests of the country can now take a long; breath. They have the assurance of Senator Beveridge that there will be no radical currency legis lation. Beveridge has allowed the im pression to get abroad that he has arransred the whole matter with the president. While the diplomatic representatives of European nations at Constantinople were discussing the advisability of de manding that the sultan remove the vail of Beirut and appoint a successor, the American minister took action, with the result that the change was made with a celerity that must have aston ished the attaches of the palace. The Pennsylvania railroad Is to im port French, German, Russian and British locomotives of the latest pat tern to place in its exhibit at the St. Louis exposition and then, after the show is ended, put them in service on different parts of its system, in order to eee how they work in comparison with American engines, and also to see if there are any particular points of ex cellence in their construction that can be used to improve the American loco motive. The written agreement entered into by the Delaware senators for the divis ion of the state patronage is being iiandled editorially by the New York Press under the caption: "The Dela ware Outrage." One of the worst fea tures of the whole matter, according to the view of the Press, is that Post master General Payne became a partj to it. The senators are creatures of Addick's, and anybody who has aught to do with the gas man is almost cer tain to be defiled. Indianapolis Journal: The Rev. Lyman Abbott occupies a good deal of space in the Atlantic Monthly in telling iwhv women should not have the right cf suffiHgo. The burden of his argu ment is the ancient one that to be a voter implies the possibility of being a soldier. When the frail physique of Mr. Abbott and the consequent impossi bility of his every having done mili tary service are considered this ruling out of women because they can't fight has its humorous features. Already the advocates, of equal suffrage are taking up the cudgels against Mr. Abbott, but they may as well devote their enn-ies to other matters and leave his paper to work its own results which will not necessarily be to win converts to his side. For such is the contrariety of human nature that wo men who are quite indifferent to their political condition and listen i.r,,.- cernedly to the appeals of suffragists are extremely likely to resent being tolj that they can't Vote and shan't yK-, ana nave no moral right to a voice in public affairs. The literature of the antis is pretty sure to work by con traries. The contrast between the extent and Volume of our commerce in 1903 and that of 1893 is illustrated by .some fig ures just presented by the department of commerce and labor, through it bu reau of statistics. These figures show that imports have grown from 866 mil- id i.vto minions, an increase of 159 millions, and that exports have grown from 847 millions to 1.420 mil lions, an increase of 573 millions. They show that 92 millions of the increase in imports comes from Europe. 55 mil lions from Asia, and about 5 millions each from North America, South Amer ica and Africa. The figures for Ocean la show an apparent falling off of bout 5 millions, but this is due to the tact that the merchandise brought from Haw aii is no longer classed as imports, Hawaii being now a territory of the United States. If this were included in the figures of imports in 1903, It would show a growth of Imports from Oceania of about 20 millions. On the export side, of the 573 millions of increase, 367 millions was to Europe, 94 millions to North America, 4f millions to Asia. 33 million to Africa, 26 millions to Ocean iavand 8 millions to South America. In case the shipments to Hawaii were in cluded, the increase to Oceania, would be about 36 millions. In case those to Porto Rico were included, the increase to North America would be over 100 millions. POOR COAL BAEON8. Speaker Pringle, of the Kansas house of representatives, has issued a state ment in which he says that the Osage county coal barons are really poor men who make Just about enough out of the coal business to keep body and soul to gether. They may know that the ex orbitant prices they put upon coal op press every poor man in Kansas, but they can not help that, for if the barons asked a fair price' for coal they might starve, and what a spectacle that would be a coal trust magnate suffering for lack of bread. Mr. C. J. Devlin is the only Osage coal mine operator living in Topeka and he is a very pleasant and agreeable gen tleman, and if Mr. Fringle is to be be lieved, Mr. Devlin is (barely making enough out of his coal mines to pay his laundry bills. No one in Topeka wants to see Mr. Devlin suffer, no matter if the people do have to pay more than coal is worth. Mr. Devlin and the other poverty stricken coal mine operators must be protected. After this the pub lic will welcome any rise In the price of fuel with the knowledge that the in creased cost may be the means of keep ing the wolf from the door of the poor coal barons NEW TRUANCY LAW. The new truancy law will be In effect next week. Officers will be appointed whose duty it will be to see that every boy of 14 years or less is in school dur ing the school year. The best thing about the Kansas law is that.it places the responsibility upon the parent or guardian. A boy with parents who have never enjoyed the advantages of education is pretty apt to meet with little opposition at home when he announces that he has decided to stay out of school and carry messages or go fishing. In the mind of the parent there is a great deal of valuable time wasted in the school room. If his boy can earn three dollars a week it will make the burdens of the head of the household lighter. The .boy drifts away from school until he has fallen so far behind his companions that his pride will not permit him to resume ljis studies. But the Kansas law comes to the rescue of the boy. If he is not in school the law demands to know why and the parent must answer the question. It ought to be an invaluable aid to the cause of education in Kansas. HIS MONEY TALKS. There is a well-to-do -man Irving in this city who never has a good word to say for Topeka and few for Kansas. He has often told his friends that if he had his money "out of the city" where it is invested he would leave the state never to return. He did leave the state years ago and while he was gone he laid the foundations of his fortune. But as soon as he had assured himself that his busi ness was sound and that the earnings were assured he came baek to Topeka and began to make Investments. And as he spent his money he complained. There were too many joints in the city or too few; the taxes were too high; there were too many cranks, and so on. His wail was unceasing. In spite of this, as soon as he would receive the profits of his business he would at once Invest them in Topeka property, adding to his already large holdings. It is only a short time ago that he purchased an other business block and he will prob ably continue to do so as long as he has money to be invested. The acts of this man tell their own story. No matter what he may say, he knows that Topeka is the best city in the best state in the Union. He knows that its schools are unexcelled. Its peo ple hospitable and companionable and it Is as free from vice and crime as any city under the sun. Moreover he knows that his investments are safe in Topeka and so he does not hesitate to buy resi dences and business blocks. The money he spends is an unanswerable contradic tion to his expressed opinions. THE atriET" MANIAC. A few days ago a young man in Bar ber county cut his wife's throat. He was suffering from a religious mania, and it had been known for sevpral weeks that he was not In his right mind. The Index, of Medicine Lodge, says of the affair: "Albert Ireland has always been a hard working, honest young man, and in his right mind was always quiet, in offensive and peaceable. His brothers knew that his mind was affected for a few months, especially on religious matters, but they did not suspect that It would ever lead him to violence, knowing his disposition as they did." The paper then gives the motive as expressed by the young man after he was taken to jail: "He had no regrets, but insisted that he had simply obeyed his Lord and Master, and Quoted different' scriptural passages to Prove it. The only thing, he said, that prevented him from mak ing an attempt on his brother's life was a passage forbidding one man to slay his brother, conveying the Impres sion that it was the duty of some other Christian to kill htm if he did not re pent." There is nothing unusual in the case of Albert Ireland. Similar things occur every week in Kansas, and the only re markable thing in connection with these tragedies is that the people will not learn wisdom by experience. It may be that the friends of the JBarber county young man were of the opinion that Ireland was simply enjoying the delights of religion, and that he was perfectly sane. The family of the afflicted is always slow to believe the truth, and when they,, are made t4 re-. alize the facts they" are unable to avert a tragedy. An insane man is never gale. He may be as meek as a lamb today anl as vicious as a tizer tomorrow. NO MACARONI WHEAT. The edict against macaroni wheat is sued by the grain men of the northwest will not affect Kansas. Macaroni wheat has but one advantage over the old fashioned Kansas grain. That Is its drouth resistant qualities. The ground may parch and the hot w inds blow, but macaroni wheat grows merrily on. When the government commenced its experiments with this grain it was for the purpose of introducing it in Kansas, for had not Jere Wilson said that Kan sas belongs to the semi-arid region? But if Kansas ever stood in need of macaroni wheat is was long ago. The old kind is good enough for Kansas now. A state that in the drouthy month of the season August has 14 inches of rain and more than it requires during the other months need not trouble Itself about the kinds of grain that will with stand the drouth. Let the government send its macaroni wheat to Dakota or Minnesota or even to staid old Pennsylvania. Kansas has no use for it. JAYHAWXER JOTS. Barber county could use ten more school teachers. Dr. Casebeer of Cherryvale sells only household goods. The little town of Hazleton claims to be overrun with "bootleggers" and gamblers. Olsburg has an epidemic of boils. But not all of the afflicted are as patient as Job. Cupid is pretty busy at Leavenworth. Thirteen marriage licenses were Issued in two days. An Atchison girl was given 20 pairs of stockings at a hose shower. They were not watered silk, however. A Sabetha man claims to have actually refused $50,000 for a patent shoe fastener; foO.uuO is quite a bit of money. Mrs. Lord of Cherryvale asks the court to divorce her from her liege lord and master. She says his conduct has been far from angelic. Le Roy officers were unable to locate an alleged jointist. The saloon man be ing a good fellow, dropped in, ga,ve bail and returned to his duties. A Sumner county farmer is in such a rush that he is plowing by steam and running a night shift. In 24 hours forty acres are stirred and harrowed. A prominent event of the state fire tour ney at Salina was a dry hose race. As Salina is a prohibition town it was prob ably a dry affair all around. An Atchison man who has a house to rent makes two good inducements. He says there is not a howling dog nor a piano playing girl In the block. A half dozen swarms of bees have en tered the walls of a Bourbon county far mer's home this summer. So far not a member of the family has received a sting. The Medicine Lodge council resolved that the town was too good to need a marshal and ordered the H5 salary "cut out." This enraged the official and he promptly resigned. A Coffey county man purchased four tons of coal before the September raise in prices. This week a flash of lightning destroyed the fuel. Is Providence on tho side of the trusts? GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. It is so easy to fall into a habit that calls for less work. Ever notice what nice things are said about those you dlslikei en such a little provocation? The kind of a man who deserts his fam ily is the kind that comes back when they are doing well without him. Marriage is supposed to bar a man from trying to make other women fall in love with him, but the only real bar is old age. When a man of 60 gives the same defi nition to the word "romance" as a 16-year-old girl, it means that he is a hope less fool. In every home there is a Grievance committee to whom every Injury from feelings to toes is referred, and it is a committee of one: the Mother. A public celebration is not a success un less there are a great many women on the streets carrying very big lunch bas kets and very small babies. Married men should remember that if they go out and play with fire they will some day repent because they didn't stay home and play with the baby. Here are the facts about it: If a man spends as much as $75 on his wedding trip it is something for the bride's kin to boast about in this section of Kansas. The average person who has been in a railroad wreck has the same feeling to ward the railroad company that poor kin has to a rich relative: ought to get more out of It. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. tFrom the Philadelphia Record. Bad habits are the warts that grow on a man's soul. Keep out of the frying pan and you won't get into the fire. It doesn't take a brilliant person to cast reflections on others. Some men are black balled in clubs and some are high-balled. When women play poker they don't give money a chance to talk. A man's friends sometimes cause him more aniety than his enemies. Some fellows are always either falling in love or having a falling out. It Is possible to work yourself up In the world by treading on other people's toe3. Some people follow the fashions closely without ever quite catching up with them.

A railway collision is the typical bump of destruction. The jaw bone is-the funny bone of the humorous orator, s Better say onlyhalf you think than think only half you say. To get rid of the germs in ice cream boil it and serve while hot. When a man fishes" with a seine he often gets satisfactory net results. It is useless to kick for a discount when called upon to pay the debt of nature. When, a lazy man condescends to work he soon discovers he's a little too good for the job. Although the first "indication of hair on a young man's lip elevates him, in reality it is but a coming down. REFLECTIONS OP AT BACHELOR From the New York Press. Great soaks from 1 ittle barleycorns grow. Next to keeping a good resolution the hardest .thing Is to keep a good bank baUrnce. A woman has as much use for logic in the parlor &s she has for water bags in the kitchen. Moat men would almost rather have the tax collector ring their front door bell than their poor relatives., It takes a girl with a face as Inno cent as a baby's to be engaged to two men at the same time and to mean to marry the man she- is not engaged to. BALL GAIVIE SATURDAY. Tiro Crack Local Teams to Da clde Championship. Saturday the Santa Fe auditor's team will play the Democratic Flambeau club team for the amateur champion ship of the city. The Santa Fe Auditors have won 13 out of 18 games, and the Flambeaus have won the last five games played. The two teams play good ball, and the game will be worth going to see. There will be another game the same afternoon, probably, between the To peka team, and the Y. M. C. A. team. This will give a strong double header attraction. There will be a small admission fee charged to pay some of the debts of the Topeka team. This team has had bad luck, and there are some bills outstand ing which will have to be met. The game will be played at Wash burn park. PRINCE HIDES" OUT. Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, Still Absent from His Capital. Berlin, Sept. 1L The Lokal Anzelger today published a dispatch from Sofia, Bulgaria, saying that Prince Ferdi nand has not vet returned to the cap ital and that he is in seclusion at the castle of Euxineograd, with several fa vorites, all the approaches to the castle being strongly guarded by soldiers. All the purveyors for the royal establish ment, it is added, are searched before entering the nstle. iBVG HUNTERS RETURN. Eugene Smyth Caught a Gyascutua in i Arizona. Eugene Smyth of the Tepeka High school, who has been with the Univer sity entomological party in charge of Professor Snow in Yuma and Mohave counties, Arizona', during July and Au gust, has returned after a very suc cessful expedition. Many rare and a few unknown insects were obtained on the trip. Mr. Smyth brought home for himself a small collection of rare and valuable beetles, among them the won derful Gyascutus, which wf;i be on ex hibition for a short time in the State museum at the capitol. KICKER GOES FREE. J ury Failed to Agree Which Is Same Thing. Ike Kicker used the same charm in getting out of trouble in the district court that George Klauer did. The jury failed to aree that Kicker was guilty of running a road house. Kicker was brought before the bar of justice by Assistant Attorney General Redden two years ago. He was tried before and the jury disagreed. This is the second time the doubt has been means or escape tor mm. Sterrett Removed for Cause. Washington, Sept. 11. Secretary Hitchcock today announced the re moval of John A. Sterrett. of Ohio, as townsite commissioner for the Chero kee Indian nation, in the Indian Terri tory, and the appointment of Dwight Tuttle, of Connecticut, as his successor. The removal is the result of charges against Sterrett's administration of his ofiice. LOCAL MENTION. The streets and walks committee is holding a meeting this afternoon. Judge J. S. West of the Governor's office, has returned from a trio to Fort Scott. Congressman Victor Murdock is to represent Wichita in a golf tournament at Kansas City. Governor Bailey has returned from the reunion at Lebanon, Smith county, where he made a speech. The Farmers' Grain and Co-operative association of Vesper has been granted a charter. It has a capital stock of $8,000. One of the employes at the Insane asylum is Richard Roe, but he is not the one who is a favorite companion of John Doe. A charter has been granted to the Citizens' State bank of Paola. This is a new Breidenthal bank. It has a cap ital stock of $20,000. Three Topeka boys have secured places with a threshing gang in Graham county and will go to work out there at the rate of $2 a day. They expect to be gone two weeks. Bank Commissioner Albaugh has re turned from attending the cattlemen's picnic at his home at Kingman. He says the attendance was larger this year than ever before. The license committee met Thursday afternoon and decided to recommend to the council that the license on billiard tables be fixed at $3 apiece a month. Councilman Neliis wanted to make it $5 a month, but Councilmen Weber and Kutz favored the f3 rate. This evening the city council will meet.

It is possible that there will be no decision in the coal trust habeas corups case in the supreme court for months. A case almost exactly parallel has been tide up in the supreme court almost a year and a half awaiting a decision from the United States supreme court, and as the coal trust case would doubt less be carried to the United States su preme court anyway, the state supreme court may conclude to hold up its de cision In the coal trust habeas corpus case along with the other. The other case is the grain trust case agaittet E. J. Smiley, secretary of the State Grain Dealers' association. A suit was instituted in Reno county to find out about the grain trust, and Mr. Smiley was subpoenaed to testify. He refused on the ground that it might in criminate him. the same as the coal trust operators did here this week. Judge M. P. Simpson held that the law is good, just the same as did Judge Hazen, and Smiley was committed to jail for contempt of court in refusing to testify. He applied for a writ of habeas comus in the supreme court on the ground that the anti-trust law Is In vio lation of the fourteenth amendment, the same as the coal trust operators have done. About the same time Smiley was con victed in a Rush county case of violat ing the anti-trust law, and was sen tenced to iail and to pay a fine. This was brought to the supreme court on a direct appeal. The supreme court af firmed the court below and Smiley ap pealed to the United States supreme court, where the case is still pending. The habeas corpus action to ger Smiley out of the Reno county jail was argued before the supreme court and submitted on April 5. 1902. A decision and opinion would have been regularly handed down the first Saturday in May of last year, but the supreme court rec ords show that no decision has been ren dered. It is said that the supreme court is holding up its decision awaiting that of the United States supreme court in the other Smiley cale, as the same ques tions are involved. While this may delay a decsion from the Kansas supreme court in the coal trust case, it will probably bring about an ultimate, decision of the question much sooner than would otherwise be obtained. because the decision of the United States supreme court In the Smiley ase will also settle the coal trust case, except as to the allegation that the anti-trust law is void because it treats of more than one subject, not clearly expressed in the title, and the fact that the law has already been upheld would show what the Kansas supreme court thinks of this contention.

Wife of the War Governor of Maine Living in California. Living in peaceful retirement in a palatial hotel in San uiego is jure. Robina Napier Washburn, the widow of the late Israel Washburn, jr., wno named the Republican party and was Maine's "war governor." Mrs. Washburn is a lady of stately dignity, yet is most affable and is very popular with those who know her. She is an accomplished conversationalist. and possesses a rich store of reminiS' cence, having enjoyed the acquaintance of such great men as James G. Blaine, Thomas Brackett Reed. Nelson Ding ley, ex-Vice President Hannibal Ham lin, Senator Eugene Hale and many other notable men of the pine tree state of whom she relates many anecdotes of personal exoerience. Mrs. Washburn has traveled exten sively, but for the past fourteen years has lived in California. To her deceased husband belongs the honor of naming the Republican party. Israel Washburn was a member of con gress from Maine from 1851 to 1860. Then he was elected governor. and after the war until his death was col lector of the port at .Portland. Me. On May 22, 1854, the pro-slavery advocate passed the "Kansas-Nebraska bill." which was very obnoxious to the free state men, of whom Mr. Washburn was a leader, and on the nieht of Its pass age he called a meetinc of the anti- slavery members of congress to meet with him the next morning in the rooms of Representatives Elliott and Dickin son cf the Massachusetts delesation. At that meeting Mr. Washburn showed to them the utter futility of attempting legislation through the Whig and Dem ocrEtic parties and advocated the or ganization of a new party with a dec laration of principles along the lines atterwara ronowea py tne Republican party. His earnest appeal bore fruit and then and there the new party was launched. When the question of a name for the new political organization came up there was some difference of opin ion, but. In the language of the biog rapher of Mr. Washburn, he said: "The name Republican is the most proper and suggestive name and the least ob jectionable that could be adopted. It is a name to conjure with, honorable in its antecedents and history, and under it people ever so much divided in their political views on other and minor ques tions could unite on a footing of perfect equalitv and with no implied surrender of principles or convictions."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, ffBIPAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 1 1 1903. HARRISJOOM. Kansas Democrats Talk of Mak ing II I m UoTernor. Tames ft'. Orr, of Atchison, Fathers the Movement. THINKS THEY CAN WIN. Says That Bailey Is Governor of a Faction. Believes Harris Most Available Man in State. Tt looks as though former United States Senator W. A. Harris will have a considerable boom for the Demo cratic nomination for governor, whether he wants it or not. A number of prom inent Democratic politicians are urging his nomination, and there is little doubt but what Senator Harris is one of the most popular men of any party In Kansas. J. W. Orr, mayor of Atchison and general attorney for the Missouri Pa cific railway, has given out an inter view giving Senator Harris' boom an other shove, notwithstanding the sen ator's recent statement that he is not a candidate. Mr. Orr's endorsement probably will not have much weight with that part of his party which is putting up a fight aKainst the railroads the former Populistic portion but Senator Harris himself is particularly strong with, that very class. There will doubtless be other candi dates for the nomination, however. Senator Ie Wright, of Emporia, has been mentioned, and there are a good many old-time fusionists who would like to rally around Senator Harry Mc Millan, particularly since the latter has been so active in the freight rate ques tion, taking a. leading part in the re cent cattle rate hearing. A conference of those who still call themselves Populists Is scheduled to be held at the Throop hotel on Thursday of next week, and this may have some bearing on the subject. The question of a gubernatorial candidate will doubtless be discussed, and if the Dem ocrats will agree to be good and nomi nate presidential and gubernatorial candidates acceptable to the Populists, there will probably be considerable sen timent in favor of a union with the Democrats. Mr. Orr's presidential Ideas, however, will not be acceptable to the Populists. His choice for president is G rover Cleveland. He admits that the Demo crats have no possible show of carrying Kansas, or any of the west, against Itoosevclt. but he thinks that Senator Harris could defeat Governor Bailey for re-election on account of the dissension in the Republican ranks. He says: I am not going around the state booming Mr. Harris or mixing in poli tics for anybody, but I see what is go ing on and I believe Governor Bailey and his cabinet are making a bad mess of it. This is not saying that I believe Kansas has any intention of returning to Populism, fusion or anything of that kind, for I believe on national issues the Krpuhlioans. have it by-a safe, majority.. This is Koosevelt territorq. Roosevelt is the prince of cowboys, and this is cowboy country; we can't beat him west ot the Missouri river. "Rut we can carry the state for gov ernor over W. J. Bailey if we nominate AV'illiam A. Harris. Mr. Bailey has caused a schism in his own party that party loyalists or party discipline cannot overcome if his enemies are given half a chance to put their protest in the bal lot box. He is the governor of a fac tion, not of his party or of the stata. Better stated, he has permitted himself to be used by a few men who have it in for the balance of the earth. This, at least, is what the people think, and the people don't like that sort of rule. The revolt is growing. I can see it. So can Railey if he has any eyes, but I don't think he has any. It is none of mv business, being a Democrat, but I can't lielp seeing. "Mr. Harris is the best man In the tate on the Democratic side. I will not ciualify it. He is the best man in the plate for governor or anything else In the gift of the people. He was the best man Kansas ever sent to Washington. Is'ot so brilliant as Ingalls. or so thrifty as some others, but he did things, did things for hia constituents, and when a citizen of the state called on him to per form he never asked his politics. He was respected on both sides of the sen ate chamber, and his record bears no stain of job or bargain. He is above dishonesty a politiican of the old type. "Here in Kansas we love him. He ought to have been re-elected last fall, but the tide was set toward Roosevelt, Hnd many Republicans gave their votes to their party legislative candidates with reluctance. All classes of people trust him and men of all political creeds respect him. In the office of governor he vould rise above his predecessors as a gifint above pigmies. All fashions and conditions of men would be given a hear ing in his office, and the end of it ail would be an administration to the glory and dignity of Kansas."

All there is to fight over in the convention is vice president, and if Koosevelt wants to put his hand in he will settle that question, too. "I am not forecasting for the Demo crats; I don't know. I am for Grover Cleveland personally, but he is not all the material the party has, and with a man of the light stamp we would be in the race good and plenty. Roosevelt has not got the fight won by long odds. We are not caring what Bryan and hia malcontents may do here in the west. The transmissouri country is Roosevelt country, and all hell can't take it from him. It is in the east where Cleveland and the Cleveland idea are strong. With New York. New Jersey. Connecticut, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, In diana and other conservative states east of the Mississippi and the old south, we ought to be able to get along. And then, too, California and Nevadaare not deed ed to Roosevelt. "I hear that man Bryan is scolding a good deal about Cleveland, but I notice that Cleveland don't know Bryan is alive. He pays no attention to him. Bryan said in his paper a few weeks ago that if Jim Orr had his way all the states would be P-epublican. Well, let's see about that. I am a Cleveland man r.ow and was a Cleveland man in 1882, when Cleveland was elected the last time. In that election Cleveland carried the solid south and New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and all the states in that group, and in addition Wisconsin and Illinois and one electoral vote in Ohio. You don't hear me giv ing these states to the Republicans, do you? Oh. one or two might get away, but I don't think enough to hurt: Ohio, for instance, is soldidly Republican. That fellow Johnson will lose it by a Our Hats are noted for being Handsomer than Shown Elsewhere." Prices $3, $3.50, $4, $5. million, more or less, this fall. Our na tional committee ought to quit trying to carry Ohio. It is only a waste of time and powder. But Bryan, what could he carry? A few southern states, perhaps, and that's all. He couldn't carry the western states he carried in 1900, let alone his big spurt out that way in, 1896. Bryan's real use for the Democratic party is and has been to boom his newspaper. He is the only man in history who has made a quarter million dollars, or any other sum, by running for president and losing races at that. In politics William J. Bryan is a tradesman."

Dawson, a member of the Illinois legis lature, died on the Rock Island train between Eston and Mankato at 9:45 this morning, of consumption. FOOTBALL AT COLUMBIA. Coacb. McLean Has Thirty-five Men at Practice. Columbia, Mo., Sept. 11. Thursday was the first time that the football squad practiced on Rollins field, and it was a good sized one. numbering thirty five men. McLean had his tackling dummy up and ready for ue, and for one hour the men were instructed how to tackle. Very few of the men tackled in a raaner that suited the coach. He favors the diving style of tackling, and the efforts of most of the men were, of course, clumsy. Anderson, Smith and a few other old men did pretty good work. Next the coach drilled the men on charging, opening holes, lining up for kick-off and other work t make them think and act quickly and precisely. He selected a first and second team, placed them in. position for the kick-off, and gave instructions in the rules which govern this phase of the game. It may sound strange, but McLean has found that many of the old men are very weak in their knowledge of the simplest rules of football. Before prac tice each dav he takes out his rule book and teaches" the men rules by asking what they would do if such and such u. play would happen. Many meetings will be held in the evening this season in order that the men may know the rules thoroushlv. Coach McLean says that it is a fault with a great many teams that all the men do not know every rule. It will not be long before every man on the squad will at least know the rules. Wabash Earning!. St Louis, Sept. 11 The annual meet; in" of the Wabash railway company will be held in October, when the re port of operations for the fiscal year ?nded June 30 will be given out.

Dr. Snow and Party Make Collection for K. L. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 11. The return of Dr.-1"". H. Snow of the University of Kan sas from a second entomological collect ing expedition this summer for the insti tution marks the termination of a very successful trip. Dr. Snow was accom panied by Dr. Charles F. Adams and (i. P. MacKenzie of Kansas City and Eugene Smith of Topeka. The party left here about six weeks ago and went direct to southern Arizona, camping on a branch of the Colorado river. The collecting work was highly successful, both from the point of the number of specimens obtained and the number of new species secured. More than 15,000 specimens were brought back and Dr. Snow estimates that from 50 to 100 are new to science. The tabulated list of the specimens secured is as follows: Coleoptera, 6.430: diptera, 4,500; lepidop tera, 1,925; hvmenoptera, 1,882; orthoptera, 550; hemiptera. 232; netjroptera, 169. The butterflies and moths were col lected for the most part at night time by spreading on a large cottonwood tree near the camp molasses and beer, which at tracted this class of insects. In the two trips made by Dr. Snow this summer 30, 000 specimens have been secured, and these at the outlay of $200 appropriated bv the board of regents for the purpose. Over 100 of a. species of beetles were se cured that is listed at $1 apiece. The success of the work has placed the entomological collection at the University of Kansas second only to that of Har vard university in the United States.There are about 200 more species here than are to be found in the National Museum at Washington.

The Methodists at Lawrence have been hunting around for a new pastor for their church. They wanted either Dr. Frank Lenig, of Ft. Scott, of Dr. McFarland, of Topeka. They think now that they have offered Dr. Lenig sufficient inducements to bring him to Lawrence, and that's saying a good deal. The Excelsior Coke Gas company is so far behind in its coke orders that it won't promise coke for any special time in the future. And yet Special Master Brock, of the United States court, declares in his report on the dol lar gas case that the unfortunate gas company can't find a market for Its coke in Topeka. The special master's report should be censored before it goes to Judge Hook. Ottawa Herald: Sheriff Costigan, Austin Reed and D. T.

The question is,' What course of study would a steward of an F.Iks club take at the state university pharmacy? Harvard's Football Proapoota. Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 11. Harvard's football season of 1903 will open on Thursday, September 17. As college op ens on September 21, the preliminary season will be unusually short and will hardly give the men a chance to get the stiffness out of their muscles before their lectures begin. Although Coach Cranston and Captain Marshall have not made known their ideas on the subject, it is evident that they think the season is long enough as it is, without taking a couple of weeks of preliminary work. The prospect for the crimson eleven ap pears at present Just about middling, and even if all the favorable posslbili ties materialize, the outlook will be none too bright. Until the men actually re port on Soldiers field it will be impossi ble to tell exactly who will be candi dates for the eleven, and the possibilitits of material at present are almost en tirely confined to the members of last year's eleven and substitute squad who will be in the university this season and eligible for the team.

TOPEKA STATE JO tJRNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11,1903. 6 ftlARKETTODAY: Wheat Opens Easier on Im proved Demand. ,ygr? ie Young.: Mao 11 i til 1 1 3kE K. U. OPENING. (Continued from rage 1.) keen competition. On the south will be the Oklahoman with his eager exalting of the "land of the fair god;" on th-1 north the Nebraskan with his vigor anl earnestness. The high plains to the west Jiave been rediscovered by means of nev emthods In agriculture, and old Mis souri shows signs of being ashamed of tome things she did to the Sunflower Ftate In the early days and wants to ful low In our footsteps. It will not be possible to do .business on wind Kansas has tried that, too, and itoliii not work. On the other hand,' it is going to take less faith to prosper the future than In the past. There ate less things to try. If anything be loft on which to xperiment in agriculture, politics, sci ence or religion, it is hidden somewhere or has been created since yesterday. The Kansan has worried too much, hunied too muc h. He has acted appar ently on the principle that the state was in danger of bung blown away or washed away over night, and has been unduly elated when he found" It yet with him. When hot winds like furnace heated breaths racing over a thousand miles of plain came out of the south on a July afternoon he countermanded the order for his daughter's new hat; but when the rain fell In timely appropriate ness on the corn he purchased for his fon a two-seated buggy, though only one seat was desired. Yet through it all the state has rewarded his effort and the recurring seasons have added to his ftore. It is time to learn the lesson of its stability, to stop the anxious gazing at fleeting clouds, the eternal expression Of doubt, so needless and so undeserved. The Kansan of tomorrow should re member that Kansas like the country newspaper, is here to stay." It is not for a day, nor for a decade hut for all the time of our race; it will develop and prow, and shine among the brightest Jewels of Columbia's crown. The duty tif the next generation is to build with fuich fnlth in its destiny, with such confidence in its permanence that the element of imagined uncertainty shall be known no more. Kansas has passed through the era of boasting: It has outlived the days of brag. Its tendency is toward conserva tism, toward fairness, toward everyday old-fashioned honesty. Let us be known for what we are as a stato; let us stand with faces to the dawn, greeting the rworld with frank, fair comradeship, with clear conscience anil clean hands. My generation has had much to say in assumed superiority over the east. It has been the fashion to deride the dwel lers on paved streets within sound of the Atlanic. For my part I believe the easterner is just as good as a Kansan; nd he understands shme things that the Kansan does not! It is possible that we think faster and act more quickly, but somehow the easterner gets a good deal out of life. He seeks not to live a hundred years in fifty; he cares not to labor without recreation. He gives a good deal of time to getting acquainted with his family and his friends but it is worth it. He has a pride in birth and ancestry which is about as satisfactory has having every man's history begin with the day before yesterday and no questions asked. He works hard; then he takes time to rest, to think, to study. Is it a bad model to imitate? Is it not about time to realize that section alism is the refuge, of demagogues; that we are interdependent east and west, and that our prosperity advances exact ly as does that of the nation. America is one great family in business and Kansas is an influential member of the tlrm. NEED MORE RECREATION. Another thing: In east and west is each year a broader acceptance of the gospel of recreation Kansas should riot be obstinate toward this means of grace. The state will stand hitched now. It is "halter broke". You can go off and leave it and find it here when you return. There is nothing to pre vent your taking a broader outlook on l;fe than is found within the state's boundaries and it will make you a better citizen, better men and better women. The balance wheel needed in the so cial economy of the west may be found in wider vision and a more intimate, friendlier acquaintance with our neigh bors. The Kansan of tomorrow should be better poise than the one of yesterday. He should bring Into his life work a fairer, cleaner comprehension of his destiny. We are proud of the small number of prisoners In our courts and prisons but the asylums are full to overflowing! What a wonder to all this well-favored land, life's ordering people if it could be said that here In had become so truly in sympathy with buman needs, so broad in the develop V 1 m VP mm i v V1 W ,1 m l mi The Smartest And newest firm, high shown until Suitings are The Popular Makes ROB IND.

It may reach that place but every brave, healthy minded young man and young woman who goes out into the state, equipped with right thoughts and sane ideals, determined to carry forward noble plans, uninfluenced by every wind th.at blows, is an added power in the mak- ng of true greatness for our beloved commonwealth. The Kansan of tomor row will ask wfth Lowell: "Why shall a man go down to live in his cellar instead of mounting to those fair upper chambers which look towards the sunrise?" The world of today demands simplic ity. In music, in art, in literature, in architecture, in religion, men want to get at the heart of things without any unnecessary nonsense. The new Pull man cars have no gold and green fili gree ornaments, the new houses have no fancy scrool saw work on the gables, the new furniture is as plain as if as George Ade says it were "chopped out with an ax." Carry this tendency into your life and into the business and po litical life of the state. Make it simple, clear, forceful. Leave out the gauui- ness, the scroll saw work, tne green ami gold ornaments. It is thus that we ap proach the art of our fathers, the up lifting of the early days, the glories oi the golden age. (Jood oia Marcus Aurr- lius, whose wisdom we should read of ten, says: "Mien as are my oaonuai thoughts, so also will be the character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts. A few short weeks'ago the chief mag istrate of the nation came to us and he broueht a message. Was it ot tne au- vantages of wealth, of the service of conquest, of the pride of armies? None of these. With all his wide experience. with all bis admirable outlook on me things that go to make a nation great, with all his knowledge of men and his sympathy with the west, he could con ceive of no better, no nobler tidings than to herald the worth of character. Above all and beyond all in the mak ing of an American, in the making'of a Kansan, he placed this. Not know ledge, not money, not statesmanship, not strength, not even determination but character. The simple goodness that warms the heart, that makes for the brotherhood of man. that brings into the life the true sympathy that has its home in religion and obtains its power from heaven. He was sin cere, he meant what he said he al ways does and it was a significait thing that nothing else in the broad field of human knowledge and exper ience was to him so worthy as this- and he was right. "UNFOLDING OF THE SOUL. Near my home is a rich expanse of unbroken plain. Set high above a broad valley where full orchards, wav ing fields and hariDV homes make a panorama of plenty, it is as a gift of virgin paradise amid the clamorous ac tivity ot the twentieth century. One may lose himself on its slopes and view naught but the emerald of the rollirrg nrairie and the ooalescent blue of the overbenclins sky. It seems to me a sad thing when a young man or a young woman sees nothing in that bit of na ture but a fine pasture, a profitable hay ground, an opportunity tor a canter, Lut if there come welling to eager lips words of appreciation of the blending of colors as the sun tins the hills with glory; if eyes dim with sugestions of infinity in the circle of blushing haze on the limit of vision, if the sweep of the winds awaken wonder at the marvelous handiwork, of creation then is come to pass a gracious miracle; the unfolding of a soul that through all the vicissi tudes of earthly years shall be uplifted and unafraid. It is such perception, such recognition, tht the Kansas youth should seek. The gem of this life is its possession. No degree can equal it; no honor or place serve as a substitute. From the pulpit comes to us the pre cept wonderful in its teachings: "The kingdom of God is within you." It is but a half truth. In enual measure with equal application to life and art, the kingdom of this world is within you. The men and women who have won, the captains of industry, of literature, of science, of education, have succeeded be cause they had within them the im mortal selfhood that conquers. William Ernest Henley, of blessed memory, in all his volumes of graceful pnd artistic verse, wrote nothing that will live so long as this: "It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." In southern Europe at the foot of a tree-crowned cliff bubbles a spring, and its legend relates that he who drinks of its waters will one day return to drink again.

Coach Weeks Has Hie Green ma terial Out Every Night. Lawrence, Kas., Sept. ll.-Twenty-five men were out or. the golf links south of McCook field last night for fcotb?ll iiractice. The jrrounds were too muddy tc permit of practicing there, and so the men were put to work on the turf. The practice was largely kicking and catching unts and falling on the ball. Few of the old men were out in suits. There was a goodly num ber of heavv men in the squad, and several of the new candidates handled themselves in a manner that would in dicate that they had played the game considerably before. Coach Weeks gave them special drill in catching: the ball. and when a man missed a catch he was made to fall on the pigskin. Coach W eeks is teaching the men to punt with the ball straight in front of the body, and does not allow any swinging of the leather. He will try hard to develop a good kicker, as un der the new rules a rood punter will mean a creat deal to the team After an hour's work at kicking and catching Weeks called the candidates for quarterback together and put them through a lively course for a time. Henry Avery, captain of the ever victorious Jayhawkers of 1899, wan on the field to assist the coach and kept the squad at work while Weeks was busy with individual men. Dr. Naismitta was also out. -The supply of heavy men seems larger this year than for several years. and the prospects for a "beefy" line are very good at present. Donald and Pol- son are both 200-poundera and over. Coulson weighs 210 and Ackerman tips the beam at about 200 when in training. There are several very promising men for the back field also. Quarterback Pooler, who made good last year, will probably Qe able to hold his place this season without much trouble. Cooke. Joe Alford and Russell all played half some last season, and Ellis, who was in the team two years ago, is a trom ising man for end or half this year. A Baseball Compromise. Cincinnati. Sept. It.

Those who defend coffee often say it I is only the cheap grades that hurt one but it is a fact that the highest priced coffee on the market is just as injur ious to those with whom coffee acts as a poison as a cheap grade. "More than 20 years ago I became con vinced that coffee was slowly killing me and it may interest you to know that 1 tound out by careful experiments that the better the grade of coffee the more I suffered," says a lady of Har vey, 111. "So I gave up coffee and drank hot water only going back to coffee oc casionally and always having to pay for it in suffering of some kind. "About four years ago I visited the home of a friend one evening and some Postum was very daintily served to the company present and was unanimously pronounced delicious: When I learned how it was prepared I found that the reason I had not liked it before was be cause I hai not boiled it long enough to bring out the crisp delicious coffee taste; ever since that time I have used Postum steadily. My family and I have founi it most wholesome and pleasant and a. food drink in every sense of the word, with no bad after effects but on the other hand it is a strong rebuilder and blood maker. We keep well now." Name given by Pos tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. look in each package for a copy of the famous littlt book, "The Road to "Wellville." SECURITY BUILDING, ment siened by the two major leagues recently and rejected by the minor league clubs was accented by the lat ter organization after a- few changes had been made. The drafting period of players was changed from August 15 to September 1, and theprice of classl A players fixed at $io0, payable one half in cash on the sisning of the con tract nd the remainder on June 1. It was also agreed that only two play ers ran be drafted from each of the class A clubs. The players who were originally awarded to major league clubs by the Cincinnati asreement last winter, and wio continued playing in minor leagues, were ordered back to the major leagues. The players are Newton, Hughes and Corbett, awarded to Brooklyn: Dundon and Jones, to the Chicago American league, and Hickey, to the Cleveland American league. LIVER TROUBLE. This Was Caused toy Prisoner in City Jail. A few fragments of embalmed liver caused an investigation at the nolice station today. A prisoner complained that his breakfast of liver and nota toea was all wrong. Sergeant "Smith investigated, and found that the meat was, mossgrown around the edges, and looked prettv bad. He called the chief, and the chief called J. A. Coulter, the man who has the contract of feeding the prisoners. Then there was a little inquest, and it was hard to tell whether Coulter or the liver was the remains. Finally the plate of green-edged liver was submitted to Mrs. Thorpe, police matron. She tasted it and announced that it wps not spoiled, and it was her opinion that the emerald tinge on the meat was caused by some kind of chemical used by the butchers which would not stand cooking. But she fur ther said that although the meat was not spoiled in the accented term of the word, it looked bad, and she didn't blame any one for refusing to eat it Coulter protested that it was not his fault, as he had purchased the liver from a butcher last night. Coulter has been feedins the prison ers for the past three months, and had the same contract during the Hughes acimmisiratiori. and this is the first time that any complaint on the quality tif hl "vianilc" V. l a uao ut-cii INdUc.

This decision would free Lynchehaun, but Charles Fox. the Brit ish .legal representative at New York, made application in court this morn ing to have Lynchehaun rearrested on a warrant sworn out in Indianapolis in order that the proceedings may go as onginauy planned. Judge Baker placed the warrant in trie lianas or marsnai fettit, wno was instructed to rearrest Lynchehaun and hold him for hearing before United states commissioner Moores. By mu tual consent the hearing was fixed for next Wednesday. Severe Penalty for Desertion. Leavenworth, Kas.. Sept. 11. John W. Danton, Company M. Twenty- eighth infantry and Norman C.

Governor Bailey will not parole either W. F. SrhelL of Sherman county, or Marion Asbell, of Labette county, two cases which have recently been pre sented to him. Schell was the city mar shal of Goodland who shot a. drunken man while the latter was resisting ar rest and who was sent to the peniten tiary for two years for manslaughter. His daughter recently came to the gov ernor to ask a parole in order -mat he might come home and support his family. The mother of the family has recently died leaving a large family. the youngest of which is only two years old. While Governor Bailey was inclinea to be lenient with Schell he found sucn strong opposition to the parole among the people at Goodland who knew all the circumstances or tne Kining-triai ne has decided not to parole him. It has been reported to the governor tnat Schell's family is making a better liv ing and getting along better now than it did when he lived with them. Asbell is in 'the penitentiary under the death sentence for wife murder. Every governor since he was sent to the pen itentiary eight years ago has turned down his application for a pardon. Governor Stanley refused it three times. Governor Bailey has decided that there is not sufficient new evidence to show that Asbell is lnrocent and he will therefore not parole him.

He is going to prohibit by ordinance the pastime of blowing police whistles, ex cept on business. The ordinance is as follows: ''It shall be unlawful for any person in the city of Topeka, except a member of the police force, to blow or sound any whistle of the kind commonly known and designated as a police whistle; pro vided, that nothing herein shall prevent any person from blowing or sounding such whistle for the purpose of callus a policeman." It is supposed that the "kind com monly known as a police whistle' is a trill whistle, though some may think otherwise. Trill whistles are used by postmen as well as policemen, but If this ordinance is passed as presented, the postmen will have to go and bury their whistles. It is highly probable that an ordinance of this kind would not be worth much from a legal standpoint, and its value from any other standpoint, is subject to extreme suspicion. But it serves to kill time at the council meetings, fill up space in the official city paper at full legal rates, and give the city atorney something to do when the ordinance gets under fire. PEOPLE NEGLECTFUL. President of Board of Health Few Boil Water. Says Dr. Menninger, president of the board of health, says that notwithstanding the frequent warnings given by the news papers and physicians, very few of the people heed the warning and boil the water. "Every one says, 'perhaps some wells may contain typhoid germs, but mine does not.' and continue to take it raw. It has been the experience of physicians that very few cases of ty phoid were ever traced to hydrant water in a city which has as good water as Topeka. It is the crystal, sparkling wells which contain the deadly germ. Often a well in the lowlands, where ty phoid would be generally suspected, is absolutely free from it. That is be cause there are is more water in the well at one time than there is in an up land well, and it generally percolates through sand. But just at the present lime it is all dangerous. It is a sensible idea to boil ALL drinking water, no matter whether it comes from the hyd rant or a clear, clean looking well. The most dangerous wells are those in the suburbs of the city, where the sewers are scattering. Surface water, with its burden of deadly germs, can seep into the wells without discoloring the water or changing the taste. And the owners of these wells feel insulted when it is intimated that they are drinking rank poison." ANOTHER TYPHOID VICTIM. Walter Howe, a Son of Councilman Howe, Is Dead. Walter Howe, the 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel T. Howe, died last night of typhoid fever. When Mr. Howe returned from Col orado a week ago, the boy had been sick for several days, but it was not known then that he had typhoid. He gradually became worse, and the end came last night. He was Mr. Howe's third son. Waited Howe was an unusually am bitious and enterprising boy, and when bis father went to Colorado the early part of the summer, he hunted around and got a job as driver for one of the Baughman wagons. It is believed that be drank some impure water while trav eling around town in the wagon. SHE FELL IN A DITCH. Now Mrs. Wiens Wants $20,000 Damages. Elizabeth Wiens has appealed to the supreme court a suit for J20.000 which she brought against B. S. Ebel of Hills boro, Kan., and which went against her in the lower court. Mr. Ebel Is a property owner at Hills boro, Marion county. Mrs. Wiens says a cinder sidewalk runs past his property and in April. 1901. he dug a ditch a foot wide and eighteen inches deep across this walk, leaving it uncovered. In the night time she stepped into it, and as she is 57 years old and weighs 200 pounds, she was severely Injured by the fall. Sh sued him for $20,000 damages, but the Marion county district court de cided against her. PHOTO MEN TO RETURN. State Association Decides to Come Back to Topeka.

He had drawn an armchair to the window of his room, and sat there smoking late into the night. For a few hours he was bapDV and at -rest. His pulses were still electric with her kiss; a saturating sense of her presence clung about him like a perfume, lan gourously. sweet; he sat helplessly con tent, engulfed by love's Strang obses sion. The moonlight grew fainter, faded, and died away. The earth lay gray and ghostly between the dark and the dawn, and the fever of love grad ually gave place to the chill ague of doubt. Like the returning tide, 'the habitual thoughts of years rushed into his mind and swamped the volcanic island upon which love's passionate up heaval" had given him brief foothold. He to marry! To be tied down forever! His eyes sought the faint outline of his yacht, which was growing clearer in the creeping dawn. He thought ..of all the fair, free places of the earth which it had been his to roam at will, commit ted to none. Fear of the future haunt ed him; he knew himself so well: he had loved often enough before; he knew how inevitably, sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly,-the glamor of pas sion died away. How coulfl he hope that it would be different in this case? Yet, if he could persuade himself that the theory of-affinities was not a beau tiful myth this woman was surely his destined mate, his iihysical and mental complement. Her very likeness to him self increased his doubts; the risk was as great for her as for him; if their venture failed, her smooth existence, with its epicurean refinements and large ease, would be marred by the soul-wearying friction of an unhappy marriage. It was broad day before he flung himself upon his bed and fell into an uneasy sleeo. He was roused to the complications of life by shavinjr water and a letter it was from her. "I cannot marry you," it began ab ruptly. "Forstve me, and leave in the morning without trying to see me. In deed, it will be best for both of us. I believe you are as unfitted for matri mony as I am. Think of all our con versations on the subject, in which I wa3 absolutely sincere, as I believe you were. I have always feared that the time might come when inclination would fight against a life-long resolution, and hoped that I had steeled myself against such an emergency. And yet, last night what a wretched fiasco! And all the while I am certain that such a denoue ment was as unpremeditated on your part as on mine the thought is both flattering and humiliating; this is some times a paradox, but the occasion givf.3 it pi oof. We are in love now and might be hapny for a time, but can you blind yourself to the beyond? I cannot. We should both be wretched, you know !t you know it. I have writhed mentally all night. "I do not know what is to blame so ciety., circumstances, or human nature," but I do know that. I have recalled every married couple of my acquaintance and none hive escaped the dire effects of domesticity. I knew some of them be fore bird-like spirits, beautiful and swift. Where is their mental alertness now, their keen interest in the mysteri ous issues of life, their eager welcome of ne- lights, their young enthusiasms or mature philosophies not one left to mock the petty annoyance of the butch er's bill. They ha-e all grown dull, stolid, bourgeois, narrow, conservative, odious, and, worst of all, they do not know it. Why is it?- Why? I cannot face it even for you. The idea of you and I as a respectable married couple is simply farcical (I look beyond the hon eymoon); we would end in tragedy, or in a few years we should each be some body else. Now I am enamored of my own personality and yours. Am I talking nonsense? I cannot tell. My point of view may be hopelessly distor ted for all I know: What a muddle it all is! But there is one thing clear in my mind at present, and that is my wish to find you gone in the morning. Judge me by yourself, forgive me, anil please, please go." He read this extraordinary communi cation with mingled amazement and chagrin. So while he had been enduring misery all niht she had suffered the self-came throes, both unnecessarily. And now according to all the laws of logic should come a sigh of blessed re lief. Where was it? Full of self -disgust he realized that it was not forth coming. "Good Lord," he firoaned, "what sort of thing am I? I have been thirsting for freedom all night, and now I feel deeply injured and defrauded be cause she has done the same. I iinust put an end to this. I wonder how she feels now I wonder if a sudden brilliant thought struck him, he nur ried through his dressing and posted himself in a windowed recess upon the landing, keeping watchful guard upon her bedroom door. She appeared presently, advancing with lagging steps, from which the usual elasticity was noticeably absent. Catching sight of him she hesitated for a moment, and then came forward, feel ing odiously bereft of her cherished self possession. The first glances between them were like the opening passes of two wary duelists, each intent upon the other's next move. "I beg your pardon for disregarding your wishes," he began, calmly court eous. "I should like to ask you a ques tion first, then, if you still wish it, I will fio." She made a gesture of assent. "At what time did you write that let ter?" "At 6 o'clock this morning." "Can you truthfully assert that by 8 o'clock you had not regretted it?" She flushed guiltily had he somehow discovered that she had sent a flying chambermaid to try and rescue it before it was delivered? "What does it matter whether I re gretted it or not," she said evasilvely. "It does not affect the point at all; it would only mean that the whole ground had to be gone over again." "You might come to a different conclu sion," he said with a ghost of a smile, "I feel positively certain that you did and do regret it." "How can you be certain?" she demand ed defiantly. "Because you are my exact counterpart and 1 judge you by myself. I will frank ly confess that I also spent a wretched night. I went over the same ground as you did and reached the same Conclusion. Of course I was powerless to act upon it, but if I could I would have taken to my yacht and fled." he turned upon him with crimson an ger and mortification. "Then why did you stay to insult me? Why did you not go at once, and thank heaven for your escape?" "Because I am a lunatic." he answered, the whimsical bright smile, which she could never resist, transfiguring his face. "As soon as I felt you slipping away I lenew that I could not live without you. Why did I risk such a confession but Long sought for, found at last GORHAM Silver Polish The result of years of experiment The best effect with the least effort All responsible jewelers keep it 35 cents a package You Can Buy; Your Fall Suit or Overcoat of Us for $1:00 Per Week and have the wear of them while you are paying for the goods.

About three miles outside of one of the mountain towns I met a hardy old man who was also on foot, and after passing the time he quiered: "Gwine into town, I reckon?" "Yes, sir.'' "Gwine to- stay there long?" "Only over night." "Stranger," continued the old man, after looking me over, "I've got a son Abe livin' in town, and if things should turn out all 'right he would take you right to his house and make you feel to home." -"What things do you refer to?" I asked. "You don't weigh more n 150 pounds, I take it?" "No." "And you hain't much on the wras sle?" "No, I'm not." "Then, mebbe you'd better skip the town altogether and pass on to the next." "But what have my weight and wrestling got to do with your son Abe?" "A heap stranger. My son Abe sorter runs the town, you see." "But he won't run me," "Won't he? That s what I'm afeard of that he will. As soon as Abe gits fight of you he'll spit on hia hands. Jump two feet high, and dare you to lay him on his back. I'm afeared you hain't hefty 'nuft to do it." "Well?" I queried. "Wall, if you was, Abe would cot ton to you at once and give you the best in the house." "But suppose I can't?" "Abe is a curious cuss stranger a curious kuss. If a man can nop mm he's like peacHes. but if he kin flop the other man he'll make him git right down and eat dirt in the most onery way. So you can't wrassle?" "No." "And you don't look like a man who kin rough-and-tumble?" "No." "Then you turn back and stay with Abner Johnson tonight.

"Were you an officer durinqr the .ctrupr-i le?" was asked of the man who had been having much to say ahout the catties of the ci il war. "I ousht to have been, but wasn't." was his repply. "There was a cliaue acainst you. per haps." "Circumstances were against me, sir. At the battle of Fair Oaks I only killed seven of the enemy, while a feller named Bill Scott killed 'leven. Of course he eor the promotion. At Malvern Hill I cap tured 22 confederates and was feeling cer tain of promotion, when they told me that Reub Davis had surrounded 67. Soon af ter that I saved 15 army wagons from capture, but the very next day Hank Johnson went out and saved 32." 'You certainly had bad luck. I should say so! I had a big chance at Fredericksburg, but Tom scammon took it away from me. In the nderness tights T was right under the eye of Grant himself, and he saw how I slaughtered the enemv, but before he could promote me along came George Brown with a rec ord to beat mine by seven.

More than a year aso he was taken sick while in Topeka and was confined in Christ hospital for several weeks, and during a part of the time his condition was dangerous. He was a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for attorney general at the time nd recovered just in time to attend the "Wichita convention, but he has never fully regained his strength. He spent several weeks in Colorado this summer, but even since his return he has not Veen very strong, and this probably gave malaria a hold on him. UNION OF CHURCHES. Slav. Dr. Coyle Expects to Sea Presby terians Consolidate. Denver. Col., Sept. 11. Rev. Dr. It. F. Coyle, moderator of the general assem bly of the Presbyterian church, who has Just returned to his home in this city from a lecture tour In the east, believes hat the time is not far distant when the 12 different Presbyterian churches in the 1'nited States will become one. This probability, he says. Is due to the re constructing of the creed of his denom ination, which took place last May. Cal vanistic and Armenian lines which have so long kept this and the Cumberland Presbyterian churches separated, have now, he says, been effaced and at pres ent no distinctions other than ceremonial separate the two great religious orders that began as one in the days of Crom well. "Another step," said Dr. Coyle, "that our church took at the last general as rerrfbly in May and one that tends toward the unity Idea is to emphasize Christian education. AVith intelleetu il development many sordid distinctions that tend to keep churches separated will be obliterated. "Our church now has an educational committee and upon it has been imposel the duty of raising $12.0no.00G for educa tional purposes. Most of this money will be spent upon schools in the west, for our institutions of learning in the east are in good shape financially."

He was horn September 8, 1882, near Bennington, Kas. The family came to Topeka when he was 4 years of age. He received his preparatory education in New Jersey, near Princeton, but all his collegiate work has been done in Washburn college. He would have graduated next June. He was an ac tive worker in the Second Presbyterian church. There :re two other children in the family, the Rev. Otis (1. Dale, of Stanley, Wis., and Miss Miriam Dale, of Topeka. Clovis Dale was one of the most pop ulir and active students at Washburn. He had a genial bearing which m.ide him a favorite with all his schoolmates, and his rank as a student was high. He bad won several oratorical contests white tn Washburn, and served a ypu successfully as manager of the Wash burn Weekly Review. At the close of last year he was elected manager of the football team, which is probably con sidered the most important office in the pift of the student body. It is due greatly to his wise leadership that Washburn bos such bright prospects on the football field this fall. He was instrumental in securing the services of Coach Kennedy, and in preparing the excellent schedule of games which the Washburn team will play. At the time he was taken sick he wis expecting to leave within a day or two for Colorado to arrange a schedule of games for the Washburn team tn that state. It is probable that Hugh McFarl.and. who has been assisting in the management of the team will be chosen by the Washburn Athletic board to succeed Mr. Dale as manager. Mr. McFarland has been acting manager during Mr. Dale's sickness. i The funeral arrangements .have not been made, and will not be until Mr. Dale's brother is heard from, and it is known whether or not he will come to Topeka. The body will be interred at the old borne of tne lamuy in Ben nington, Kansas. SPECIAL THAIN UPSET. Accident Was Caused by the Tracks Being Under Water. Kirksville, Mo., Sept. 11. General Manager W.

The cuestion recently arose in Phil lips county and County Superintendent Arnold wrote to State Superintendent Dayhoff asking about it. Mr. Dayhoff, in turn, referred the question to the at torney general's department, where As sistant Attorney General Dawson an swered the question in the negative, holding that desks and furniture do not come under the head of school appara tus and that district boards do not have to buy only those approved by the text book commission. "Seats and desks." wrote Mr. Dawson, "are school apparatus only in the same comprehensive sense that the school house, the wall, the coal,, house and hitching posts are school apparatus."
