(TV HARBOR FULL OF WAR SHIPS. Russia Mores a Fleet of 90 Sea fighters From Port Arthur to Ma-San Pho, Korea. THOOPS MOVE FORWARD Sereral Krigades Are Encamped on the ISorder. Proposal to Dirfde the Conntry Rejected bj Japan. Paris, Oct. 8. Official information re ceived here shows that a formidable Russian fleet, comprising ninety war ships of all classes, has left Port Arthur and has arrived at Ma-San-Pho, south of Korea, where the Japanese fleet had already arrived. The Russian ships have anchored within thj Ma-San-Pho harbor alongside the Japanese ships. Several brigades of Russian troops have moved forward to the Korean boundary and are now encamped on the border. Diplomatic negotiations are still proceeding at Tokie. These do not relate to the evacuation of Manchuria by the Russian troops, but to the future of Korea. The Pan-ie todav in a special dis- j patch from Darmstadt, gives an inter- j view wun Alexander Savinsky, the sec retary of Foreign Minister Lamsdoiff, who, it is claimed, spoke on the author ity of his chief upon Russo-Japanese relations. M. Savinsky is quoted as ayir.g: Our agents at Tokio have informed us that Japan desires war and is pre pared for it. We have enough troops in Siberia to resist a!', the Japanese forces." Regarding Turkey and Bulgaria, M. Savinsky said that the accord between Russia and Austria was stronger than ever and that he did not believe war between tlose countries vv-ould occur. DENIED IN LONDON. London Oct. 8. The Japanese minis ter here Baron Hayashi today described the announcement made by the London Daily Mail's" correspondent at Kobe. Japan, that Baron de Rosen, the Rus sian minister to Japan, had presented a note to the Japanese government contending that Japan had no right to interfere in the question of the evacua tion of Manchuria and proposing the partition of Knre-.i between Russia and .Japan as being "fantastiowl ...and un worthy of consider.iticn." The news from Kobe the minister says "is about as unreliable as news from Shanghai." i He reiterated that there was nothing in the situation in Korea to occasion uneasiness. "I have not heard and T do not be lieve," added the Japanese minister, "that Rossi:-', has intimated her refusal to evacuate Manchuria and that she has refused to allow Japan to inter fere with her occupation. I see nothing in the situation at the present moment that supports the reports of a warlike nttiude on the part of either Russia or Japan." RUSSIA'S DOUBLE DEALING. Washington. Oct. 8. The state de partment has not received direct con-lirm-ition of the Associated Press in-; formation from Yokohama, but officials pity thf would not be surprised to re ceive such confirmation at any time funii Minister Conger. They- say they are fully piepared to believe the news that Russia has served notice on China that she will not evacuate Manchuria until her latest demands are granted. Exactly what these demands are no 'fficisl of the state department is pre jmrcd to say. But the belief is strong that they are practically the same re ported by the- Associated Press from I'ekin last spring and disavowed by tht Russian foreign office. It is said on the higi est authority that this govern ment had reason to believe Russia was insistirg on the very demands whieh Count Latnsdrrf assured Ambassador Mccormick had never been presented nnd which Count Cassini. the Russian ambassador, told Secretary Hay were merely presented as bases of negotia ti'tps. It was stated by the same authority hat this government will not feel called en to enter protest against Russia's Action so long us oue commercial treaty v hirh is to he signed today is oDservea pud the two ports in Manchuria prom ised by Russia remain open to th wenid's commerce. PROPOSED TO DIVIDE COREA. London. Oct. 8. The correspondent ot the Daily Mnil at Kobe. Japan, tele graphs that Baron von Rosen on Octo ber 4 presented a note to the Japanese government contending that Japan had no right to interfere in the question ot the evacuation of Manchuria, which concerned Russia and China, the note further proposed the partition of Corea and suggested Japan should take the southern half and Russia the nortnern provinces. The note was destroyed by a council of ministers October 5 and Marciula Ymagat. commander-in-chief or the army, had consultations with the min isters of war and marine. The Japan government, adds the correspondent, then sent a reply to Baron von Rosen re jecting the Russian proposal. A crisis Is nossible at any moment. Gea. Young's Daughter Weds.

Authorities Undecided as to Lawrence or Kansas City. Lawrence. Kan., Oct. 8 Judge J. W. Green, president of the athletic board 01 the University of Kansas", announced m chapel that the board will have the Kansas-Nebraska game in Lawrence, provided enough students will pledge themselves to buy tickets to insure $600 gate receipts. The committee of twenty two will take the matter up ana en courage the sale of tickets in every way possible. It is thought that the $600 worth of tickets can be sold to the stu dents without any great difficulty as the game will be the best of the season. If it is a good day there will, of course, he a large crowd from out of town, but this cannot be depended upon and the management will not have the gamu here unless expenses are insured rain or shine. The athletic association is $500 behind now. and cannot afford to lose any money on any ofthe games this year. "Boss" Weeks went to Kansas City Wednesday afternoon and ex-Captain Avery took chare of the squad. The scrubs made some good gains through the 'varsity when they had the ball, and the first team did not get away from the youngsters much. Several of tne first team men were not in the scrim mage, however, on account of bruises. Brumage, Cooke. Ice. Griggs, Rice and Yielding did not play with the 'varsity, and this weakened the team a great deal. WOMAN DRUMMER SUES Asks $10,000 Because She Was Intimidated. r f The woman drummer has come before the United States circuit court for the avenement of her wrongs. At least ot some of them. Lucille C. Fry, who seta forth that she was the traveling repr sentative of the firm of Lynas Son of Kansas Cir, Mo., on August 5, last, has sued J. T. Sellards for $10,000 on the grounds of Intimidation, extortion of money and slander. On August 5 Miss or Mrs. Fry was stopping at the Montezuma hotel at Solomon City. She states that In the morning about 8 o'clock, as she was about to leave the hotel to go. out and hustle business for the house, J. T. Sel lards, who was then at the hotel, inter fered and detained her. Sellards ac cused her of entering his room during the night and extracting the sum of $60. compelled her to enter a room in the comiK'leld her to enter a room tn Uie hotel m which he locked her and keat her prisoner for an hour or longer. Du: ing her confinement in the room Sel lards continued to demand the payment of the $60 under threat that she should be kept locked up for a week. Whether or not she gave up the sixty the affiant fails to state. For the damage to her feelings, pro ducing nervous prostration for several days, the plaintiff asks $2,500 damages. For punitive or exemplary damages she asks $5,00a more. For the damage to her personal reputation caused by tne cir culation of the report that she liad stolen $60 she specifies $500 damages a. about the proper amount, and, to heal the wound caused by the unfortunate occurrence she asks $2,000 punitive damages on the second count. inTcollision. Hock Island and Union Pacific Trains Collide. Rock Island passenger train No. 12 was wrecked about 4 o'clock last even ing; on the Union Pacific tracks about two miles east of North Topeka as a re sult of a head end collision with a Rock Island special train. The special, which consisted of an engine and caboose, was also damaged. Engineer C. G. Smith of Herington, who was pulling the special, was severe ly bruiseei about the side and back, and Mailing Clerk Evans of the passenger was also injured. Mr. Evans was taken immediately to his home in Kansas City and the extent of his injuries is not known. Unle ;s he sustained internal injuries he received nothing more serious than a few severe jolts and bruises. Several of the passengers were thrown from their seats and more or less bruised, but no one except the two men mentioned was hurt sufficiently to call for the sevices of a physician. C. G. Smith, the Rock Island engi neer who was injured in Wednesday's wreck and who is now being cared for at Stormont hospital, is reported to be getting along very nicely. He has suf fered a good deal from the pain of his bruises but it is not thought that he was seriously hurt. RULED BY PUTT. Charge Made by Gront Against the Citizens' Union. New York, Oct. 8. Comptroller Grout issued a statement today in reply to the actions of the convention last night. In his statement he charges the Citi zens' union with being under Senator Piatt's rule, and he says that he will fight his being taken off the ticket to the end. He ends his statement by saying: "And. finally, I shall appeal to all fair-minded people to say whether a man whom they have known to be hon est shall be destroyed by the species of lynch law and mob rule which has pre vailed this fortnight past."

Effect of Paresis on Human Body Discussed. Attendants Tell Their Story of the Struggle. The Peterson-Neil murder case was given to the jury late this afternoon. The members will not be allowed to separate until a verdict is reacned or they disagree. The principal effort of the defense in the Peterson-Neil trial in the district court Wednesday afternoon was to es tablish a reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurymen that the two attendants were really responsible for the death of the insane patient, Maxwell. Attorney Magaw questioned all the physicians who took the stand closely upon the na ture of the disease to which Maxwell was subject. He asked them if paresis, which they pronounced to be his ail ment, did not produce an extreme fra gility of the bones and he exhibited medical writings of authority which stated that such physical deterioration accompanied the disease. The ciuestion if the fracturing of Maxwell's ribs might not have been caused by the fall when he struck the floor with the two at tendants atop of him was repeated to Doctors Biddle, Van Neese, Buekmas ter and Hogeboom. These physicians were inclined to dis credit the theory. Dr. Biddle examined Maxwell's body a few moments after his death but failed to see any evidence of abrasions of the flesh which he found plentiful at the post mortem examina tion. Clotted blood and signs of bruises were found in the muscular tissue eif the body, at the post mortem, which did not show upon the skin. "Black and blue" spots, the doctors testified, take time to form, and the death of Max well which intervened so shortly after the encounter with Neil and Peterson prevented their development. All of the physicians who were present at the au topsy testified to the discovery of a half dozen or more flesh bruises on the chest, sides and on the lower limbs. These, they said, would most naturally result from blows of some soil. Dr. R. E. Buckmaster gave the opin ion that Maxwell's death resulted di rectly from the hemorrhage caused- by one of the broken ribs puncturing the lungs and by the shock, of the fall or the assault in which the boues were broken. Earl Neil and J. M. Peterson told their stories of the struggle with Max well during yesterday afternoon's ses sion. Neil came first. Peterson, he said, had gotten into an encounter with Maxwell and he ran to Peterson's help. As soon as he had attempted to engage Maxwell all three fell on the slippery floor. Maxwell fell underneath. He and Peterson helped Maxwell up, he making no further resistance, and they put him in a chair, where he remained for a few minutes before being con ducted to the bath room. He was not in the bath room when Maxwell col laosed. Peterson corroborated Neil's state ment. He said he had asked Maxwell to get a mop and go to work with the other natients at scrubbing the hall. Maxwell passed him with the muttered remark, "In a year I'll show you that I do not have to work." When he had got behind Peterson he turned upon him as if to attack him, and he, Peter son, grasped the insane man by the collar and called to Neil for help. During the cross-examination ot Gardener R. H. Fairer, Attorney Ma gaw tried to establish evidence to show that there was bad feeling between him and Peterson, dating back to a time when Farrer had interfered with Peter son who was handling a patient. Peter son said that he did not consider-, that there was any serious ill will between himself and farrer. Dr. B. D. Eastman, former superin tendent at the insane asylum, testified that medical authorities cited a fra gility of the patient's bones as an occa sional accompaniment of paresis. DR. BIDDLE TESTIFIES. Dr. T. C. Biddle, superintendent of the insane asylum, was called as the first witness for the defense at this morn ing's session of the Neil-Peterson mur der trial. Dr. Biddle testified that Neil and Peterson's record at the asylum was good. Dr. W. C. Van Neys was the next witness. He testified that all attendants were instructed that the bones or pa retic patients are brittle and easily broken. The deposition of John C. Logan of Siloam Springs, Ark., was read. The deposition was to the effect that Neil's reputation at home was good and that he had never been in trouble. The de-position of Stanley Crandall of Siloam Springs was read. He formerly lived at Howard. Kan. He testified in the deposition that Neil's reputation was good. Nathan O. Baldwin of Siloam Springs testified through a deposition that Neil's reputation was good. E. C. Talbot's deposition, taken at Siloam Springs, was read. He testified that Neil's reputation was good. James Eslinger, Fred Hill, R. J. 'Al frey, S. L. Hogan. D. B. F. Neil, J. B. Lindback, D. M. Steele, R. J. Allen and twenty others of Siloam Sprines all testified through depositions that Neil s reputation in his home was good. Depositions of residents of Geneseo, Kan., where Peterson lives were read. A. L. Southers testified through a cepo sition that Peterson's reputation was good. J. R. Holmes. F. H. Listum. S. F. Seaman. J. O. Quick, A. Ward, A. S. Hawley and 150 others testified that Peterson's reputation at home is aood. REBUTTAL TESTIMONY. At the close of the readirig of the af fidavits the defendants rested their case. In rebuttal R. H. Farrar was calied by the state. "Have you any unkind feeling toward the defendants?" asked Attorney Close. "No," replied Farrar. On cross examination Attorney Magaw asked: ."Did you and Neil not have words over some patients you took to the laundry?" "No. not that I remember of," re plied 'arrar. The testimony in the case closed, and Judge Hazen instructed the jury that a verdict of murder in the first or sec ond degree or manslaughter in the third or fourth decree or a verdict of acquittal could be -found by the Jury. Judge Hazen then read his Instructions to the jurv. JUDGE HAZEN'S INSTRUCTIONS. In his instructions to the jury Judge Hazen said that if the jury found that Neil and Peterson were scuffling with Maxwell and the three fell, and that Maxwell's death was an accident re sulting from the fall, that the defend ants should then be found not guilty. Judge Hazen instructed the jury that the fact that Maxwell was a patient suffering from paresis and that such a disease tends to make the bones brittle, should be consider ad. The arguments in the case were be gun at 11 :10 o'clock. W. I. Jamison made the first argu ment for the orosecution. C. A. Magaw. followed him and argued the case for the Tfiefense. The arguments closed with the speech to the jury by Assistant Attorney Gen eral Close for the prosecution. KILLED Afi OFFICER. Pueblo Doctor' Shoots a While Crazy Drnnk. Man Pueblo, Col., Oct. 8. While crazed from the influence of liquor that he had been drinking for several days. Dr. C. O. Rice, one of the most prominent physibians in the city, shot and almost instantly killed Police Officer Martz, while the latter was trying to arrest him in the Palace drug store in the Central block. f The tragedy took place at 8:30 o'clock after the frenzied physician had driven every one from the store by flourishing his revolver and threatening to kill any one who came within range. Police Of ficer Slater shortly afterwards acci dentally shot himself while attempting to effect an entrance into the store. The wounded officer is in the hospital and will probably die. It was not until 10 o'clock that the crazed doctor was captured. Mean while he had been holding an enormous crowd at bay in front of the drug store. Finally Detective Roubichaud ai d Assistant Fire Chief Charles Campbell effected an entrance to the rear of tli-j store through the cellar and succeed'-i in overpowering the doctor before he could offer any resistance.. It was found that he had disabled his revolver and that it had been practically useless for some time. The patrol wagon was in readiness and the now calmer man was "takerr to the county jail by a circuitous route for fear that some attempt at violence might be made. The big crowd was loud in its dentin; ciation of the crime. Officer Martz, who was killed had lived in the city for 25 years and was wgll and favorably known in police dr cles. having served many years as a pa trolman. Dr. Rice, who did the shooting, is one of the oldest and most prominent physi cians in the city. He is. the founder of the Fan-mount hital in Fairnunint park, which was formerly .-known as tjie Rice sanitarium.- Officer Slater's condition is very criti cal.

WAS ADDFUT'STORIVI Additional Details of Alicerille Tornado Are Given. Burlington, Kau., Oct. 8. Additional details from Tuesday evening's tornado around Aliceville show the damage is greater than at first supposed. Aliceville is located on the line be tween Anderson -and Coffey counties. The storm traveled in a northwesterly direction. There were about fifty houses in the village and every one was either totally wrecked or moved from its foundation. Seven people were injured. They are: Andy Bruce, crushed by falling tim bers; G. Olsen cut on the head; Edward Winn head cut;- Loais StitzeF head eut; Miss. Mattie McNary, bruised: H. Slaglcirtemal injuries; Mrs. H.

Tbe almost crim inal inadequacy of Kansas City's Union denot has been demonstrated to a marked degree many tir-es within ihe past year, but it remained for the Car nival crowds of lst nieht to suffer the greatest discorp.ort that has ever been experienced ir; the old building. Thou sands upon thousands of excursionists who had been tt.t city's guests spent last night headed like' animals in th2 dreary corridors of the depot and al though the officials on duty there did all that humanity could suggest to relieve the situation of. its terrors, there was positive suffering which was long drawn out. The railroads themselves were directly responsible for the fact that at least 5,009 people were compelled to remain all night either dozing in cramped positions in the seats of the depot or where the demands of tired nature overcame all scruples and men. women and children lay rjrone on- the cement pavement of the building. The fact that there was not a single excursion train out of the depot after, the parade last night and that not one of the many evening trains was held even so much as five minutes caused the excursionists to remain in helpless exasperation until they could catch a regular train to their homes to day. In some instances this will mean a delay in reaching their restinations until tomorrow, as in many cases out of the way connections must be made. The Emporia Presbytery AdjouTns. Emnoria, Kas., Oct. 8. The last busi ness session of the annual Emporia presbytery meeting was held last night and the attending preachers leave to day. Most of them will go to Minne apolis, where the state synod will be in session this week. Dr. F. J. Sauber. of Emooria. delivered ari" address before the "presbvtery.

PENNY STARTLES THEM Tells Washburn Students of Immoral Songs in Hymn Book. "There are twenty-five immoral songs in the hymn book used here at Wash burn college chapel," was. the sensation al statement- made by Prof. G. B. Penny to the students at chapel exercises this morning. "I do not mean that the words are immoral, but the music. I include in this list of immoral songs six waltzes, two two-steps and seventeen polkas. I do not think that words set to such music are inspiring, or suitable, for religious exercises. March tunes i believe to be unobjectionable, but the dance music is out of place in a nymn bock." Prof. Penny's "chapel talk" this morning, was on the subject of music and he criticised most severely some of the well known Bospel hymns. He declared that they were very poor spe cimens of musical composition. This class of music he considered separate from the compositions which he termed "immoral." "God be with Tou till we Meet Again" is one of the songs which Prof. Penny dislikes because of the poer music which goes with it. While there is no definite intention of discontinuing the use of the present hymnal at the chapel, there will prob ably be more care used in selecting pieces for the morning services so that the waltzes, polkas and two-steps will show signs of disuse. The college hymnal is probably no different from any other in that it contains the so called "immoral" selections. GROUT DISPLACED. Fusionists Meet and Nominate Other Men. New York, Oct. 8. All uncertainty re garding the action of the Citizens' Union and Republican organization on the ques tion of ousting Grout and Fornes from the fusion ticket was removed last night whea both conventions reconvened and voted unanimously to rescind the nomination for comptroller and aldermanic president made at the original convention and to nominate-instead Fxedexick W. Hinrichs of Brotklyn and K. J.-Me-Guire of Mannar tan. At the Citizens' Union convention in Cooper Union, presided over by Francis C. Huntington, little interest waa shown in the nomination. At the close of the con vention the delegates .from the Bronx nominated Coroner Joseph 1. Berry, who has also been nominated by the Republi cans as borough president. The Republican convention in Carnegie hall was presided over by- Former Lieut. Gov. Woodruff. The nominations of Messrs. Hinrich and McGuire were ac cepted unanimously. Mr. Hinrichs was a candielate for lieutenant governor on the gold Democratic ticket in lS9t: for Resi dent of borough ot Brooklyn on tve Low ticket in 18 and for state attorney aron eral on the Union ticket in l."8. McGuire is an assistant corporation counsel. Not much credence is given to the ru mor that Robert B. Roosevelt, an uncle of the president, has been asked to take the 'lammany nomination for president of Manhattan borough.

Probably the larg est silk auction sale ever held has just been completed in this city. Buyers were present from nearly every large city in the county. About 13,000 pieces, of goods were sold for a total of $300,000 The sale was for the account of a large manu facturer who desired to reduce stock. It has been expected to continue several days but there was such a rush of buyers that the auctioneers disposed of the lot at one session. All colors sold well, but the black led in favor. Nothing Doing Says Mitchell. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 8. President Mitchell, of the Mine Workers, said to day as he emerged from the conference of the national executive committee.that the work today was of a routine charac ter and nothing of importance would be done. He said no final action had been taken in the Colorado situation, and when any announcement of the final de cision was made he would do it him self. i Blow TJp a Bridge. Chicago, Oct. 8. A dispatch to the Tribune from Helena. Mont., says: Northern Pacific railroad officials nave just received word that a bridge on the line near there has been blown up. It is believed it is the work of the black mailers who for two months have been demanding $50,000 from the road carry ing out their threats by wrecking trains and destroying property with dynamite. FIRST STEP TAKEf Interstate Rirer Improrement Congress Meets To Take Action Looking Prerention of Floods. to NEARLY 200 PRESENT. Engineer S. W. Fox Leads Off With a Paper. Senator Long Sends a Promise in a Letter. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 8. The first active step toward preventing a recur rence of the great floods at Kansas City and in the Kansas valley in June, will be taken at the interstate river im provement congress which convened at the rooms of the Commercial club here today. Nearly 200 delegates, represent ing the commercial, civic and property interests of Missouri and Kansas as well as several civil engineers, are in attendance.

Fox, formerly a government engineer. United States Senator F. M Cockrell of Missouri, Congressman Charles Cur tis of Kansas, and William S. Cowherd are also on the programme for ad dresses. Senator Chester I. Long, who is unable to be present, wrote: "I will cheerfully co-operate in the effort to secure the desired legislation," and Senator William J. Stone o- Mis souri, who also sent his regrets, assured the secretary of his sympathy with the movement. WILL SEND KELLY. Chanute Appoints Him as Official Eastern Boomer. Chanute," Kas., Oct. 8. The keynote of the meeting of the board of trado last night was factories, and action, was taken that means Epeedy .aggressive work. Chanute is no longer going te wait for propositions to come and nunc her up and simply be content with bidding for the benefit of sharp pro moters, but, as the board decided last night, is going to send a representative back to exhausted eastern gas fields and submit propositions to manufac turers so good that they will want to come to Chanute. The representative is) to be ex-State Senator Kelly of Mc pherson, now living in Topeka, a gen tleman who is soon to move to ci-.a-nute. The board voted to allow Presi dent Rosenthal" td'drrange- details with, him. The. plans -'include a trip of "a month or two "where gas wells have lately been reported as becoming ex hausted. On suggestion of I. D. Bos chert it was also moved that the di rectors of the board secure all gas and site propositions nossible in writing, so Senator Kelly can make known what he can guarantee. Senator Kelly, who was present at the meeting, made an excellent speech in which he complimented Chanute highly on her aggressiveness and pros perity. He also gave some excellent advice as to the eliminating of town scraps if a greater Chanute was to be built. Other enthusiastic talks were made by Alayor Kennedy, Councilman Sauer, F. M. Dawdy, J. N. McDonald, A. S. Lapham, E. P. Burris, I. D. Bos chert and H. P. Farrelly, all of which generated enthusiasm. President Rosenthal and the directors) meet tomorrow at 10 a. m. to arrangu the details of Senator Kelly's trip, and then he will start as soon as possible. Senator Kelly's suggestion is to allow: him so much for compensatiem and ex pense, and also to allow him railroad! tare for small parties he may be able to induce to come and investigate.- This is the most aggressive step any Kansas gas belt town has taken, ami the most sensible, and should bring re sults, and that is what Chanute wants. With the biggest gas field in the west, plenty of water and excellent railroael facilities. Chanute is. destined to be the manufacturing center of this section. CLOSING ARGUMENT. Alaskan Boundary Case Will Go to Jury, Tonight. London, Oct. 8. The last day of the public hearing of the arguments before the Alaskan boundary commission op ened with practically no spectator present. Jacob M. Dickinson', of Ameri can counsel, continued his speech for America's "unbroken claim or title" to the disputed coast. Mr. Dickinson made a forcible plea that all the evidence es tablished the fact that the boundary should be drawn around the heads of the bays and inlets. When Mr. Dickinson has concluded this afternoon the commission will ad journ until Monday, when it will hold its first private session to consider its verdict. WILL USE MOTORS. Electricity to Be Used In the Schools. The board of education has decided, to use electric motors in the new school buildings to drive the ventilating fans and hot blast heating systems, instead of gasoline engines. In Sumner and other schools equipped with the hot air system of heating and ventilating the fans are run by gaso line engines. The board has found that it is difficult to find persons who un derstand the operation of the engines. The repairs on them have been con stant and expensive. It is thought that the electric motors can be more easily operated and kept in repair. Kiss Curtis and Miss Adair at Golf Philadelphia, Oct. 8. The invitation golf tournev in rogress on the links of the Merion Cricket club at Haver ford has reached the second round oC match play. Owing to the drawing it will be imnopsible for Mrs. C. T. Stout and -Miss Rhona Adair, the recognized, leading opponents in America and Eng land respectively, to meet before Satur day, but in the event of their meeting, which now looks probable, each will have to defeat some excellent plavers. The most interesting contest scheduled for today was between Miss Margaret Curtis, of Essex county, and Miss Adair. The former is probably thes best player in the country at the long -aine. "f

Hauling Their What to the Elevator at Hoxie. RECEIPTS ARE LARGE. Wild Ducks Plentiful aud Hunt ers Aware of It. Two Sportsmen Secure Hundred in a Day. One Hoxie. Oct. 8. The new elevator of IE. -T. Crum will handle 20,000 bushels of grain daily. Since wheat began to move he has been receiving from 3,000 to 7,000 bushels daily, some of it test ing as high as 62 pounds to the bushel. During the moonlight nights wheat has been arriving, the road leading to the elevator presenting a lively sight filled With farmers' wagons. The Union Pacific are doing a great business in and out of Hoxie. For the month of September there was received 63 carloads mostly coal, implements end lumber, while 66 carloads were chipped out principally wheat. The act ual cash business for the same period amounted to over $5,000, while the total business In and out aggregated about $15,000. 'IWWH :i .'i E. T. Crum gave a banquet to his Workmen at the elevator and a few in vited guests, which was good enough tor anyone to sit down to. When it mimes to preparing a spread, Mr. Crum Is the right man. His receipts for the day were large, and it was almost mid night before all the farmers' teams got away, and his last car was loaded for shipment. Violators of the prohibitory law in Hoxie have a stormy time of it. Frank Lee has served one full year in prison for violating this law. He was tried end convicted in the district court and sentenced to 120 days in jail and pay a line of S400. At one time he offered a compromise by paying $250 providing the commissioners would give him credit for the amount and takw- his in dividual note for the balance. Some say it has already cost the tax payers of Sheridan county about $1,500, and the end is not in sight. Wild ducks are plentiful in Sheridan county. In one day M. A. Chambers succeeded in killing 60 or more, while Frank Mclvor got about 40. Dr. Hall, Col. Schultheis and Grover Walker ojily got a few cotton tail rabbits. Sheridan county is building a new Jail. Who will be the first fellow to eerve a sentence fcj it? Some say Frank iLee, the convicted joinuT, will serve a little "high life" of his sentence behind its bars. Col. Schultheis' justice court had about as much business one afternoon In the $1 case brousht before it, than Judge Smith will have in his entire term of district court, which is in ses sion in Hoxie this week. Steam threshers have the right of Wvay in Sheridan count. The million end a quarter bushels of wheat raised In this county this year is keepiner a large number of them In daily opera tion. Politics will not be tolerated here until this year's crops are out of way. Sloonligbt Husking Party. A. number of the college students had mn old fashioned good time Monday night. About forty of the young people, Jn two hay wagons, went out to the farm of Mr. Hale, about four and a halt miles east of town.

Sold Land Ten Tears Ago but Be served Oil Rights. Fredonia. Kas., Oct. S. The most un usual fight over gas and oil rights Kan sas has ever had has just been decided in the Wilson county district court. The properties involved are valuable oil lands in Pleasant Valley, Wilson coun ty, and include 250 or more acres. The action was brought by a number of farmers to juiet the title on the lands in question, and the defendant was an Illinois man by the name of Griffin, a former owner of the land. Griffin was once a prominent farmer in Pleasant Valley, but about ten years ago, during the Guffey and Galey excitement, sold out. He was a long headed sort of fellow, however, and re served all oil and gas rights, mention of which was duly made in the deeds. He moved bark to Illinois. The property changed hands a number of times. Nothing was thought of his reservation until the late oil excitement began, and then when the present owners began thinking of leasing their land they found on investigation that a fellow by the name of Griffin claimed the oil and gas rights. They thought the statute of limitation or something else might operate in their behalf, but un like a gas lease, ownership of oil and gas rights such as Griffin possessed lasts for all time; at least that is what the court has decided at Fredonia. The case may be aopealed. Cates Shinn reuresented Griffin, whose gas ana om rignts are now even more val uable than the land he sold. NEW SOFTJWHEAT, Weighs 62 Pounds to the Bushel and Is StMng Grown. Commissioner Jones showed a Union reporter a sample of a new kind ol wheat that is now being sown to the limit of the seed thus far raised in this county. It is soft, white wheat quite heavily bearded and known as the multiplier. The sample exhibited bv Commission er Jones was raised by C. L. Stein on Gypsum creek. It yielded 20 bushels per acre and weighs 62 pounds -to the bush el. The flood was all over the ground and wheat for a long time but did not affect the growth or berry in the least, so far as can be determined- One pecu liarity of the wheat is in the head; it is filled to the extreme point and the top is as larse as the base of the head. Kvery one in the neighborhood who can get the seed is sowing this variety this fall. A great deal is expected from it. Soft wheat is not considered at all reliable here, but it is believed that the new multiplier will stand with the hard varieties. Salina Union. Rode from Denver.

HERTZ BACK fROM THE COAST Manager of Yanger Talks of flaw Deal. in Battle With Hanlon. Chicago, Oct. 8. John Hertz, who looks after Benny Yanger's interests, arrived home from the coast yesterday. Speaking of the recent battle between Yanger and Eddie Hanlon, In which Referee Ed Smith declared Hanlon the winner. Hertz said: "We received a raw deal and that was the opinion of Eddie Graney, Jim Coffroth, president of the Yosemite Athletic club; Harry Corbett, George Harting, and others. "Hanlon did not have a look in dur ing the first fourteen rounds. He floor ed Benny In the fifteenth and had the better of that round, and also ,of the twentieth, but the sixteenth, seven teenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth rounds were about even. Referee Smith admitted this after the contest, but could not explain why he decided in favor of Hanlon. I do not know what the crowd thought of the decision, but 1 do know it hovered about the ring for a long time after the decision was ren dered and cheered Yanger loudly." Morris Levy, manager of the Hayes Valley club, under whose auspices the contest was held, would not express an opinion, but stated he would give Yanger the preference over Hanlcm in the contemplated match with Ben Jor dan, the English champion. Jordnn wants to fight in 'Frisco and the match, if arranged, will take place in Decem ber, the first open date after the Gard-ner-PMtzsimmons battle. Benny is ex pected home in a few days. The "Kid" Brcad-"Young" Mowatt match, which was to have been decid ed at New Orleans next week, was de clared off by Paddy Carroll, Mowatt's manager; Paddy says his protege broke one of the knuckles of his left hand in his recent fight with Charles Neary at Milwaukee, which will keep him out of the game for some time. "Kid" Her man will be asked to take Mowatt's place. ,J HANLON GOING HIGHER, California Featherweight Will Chal lenge Corbett and McGovern. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 8. Eddie Han lon will now go after Young Corbett and McGovern for matches, and on his past performances is clearly entitled to a hear ing from these two top-notchers. Hanlon enjoys the proud reputation of never having been knocked off his feet, and this, too, in view of the fact that he has faced such hard hitters as Young Cor bett and Yanger. Eddie is certainly "some shucks" when it comes to remaining on his pins during the stormy voyage of a Queensberry tour. He said today: "I don't know how it is.. I always keep mv head about me and when I get a punch that dazes me (which, by the way, is .seldom)I clinch until I again recover my bearings and then start out fresh. I never try to give the other feilow his style of fight if I can avoid it. Then, too, In most cases I am going away when re ceiving a punch, and that breaks the force of it to such an extent that if it does hap pen to land it is not hard enough to make me say my prayers. "The trouble with those fellows who are alwavs down on the mat from the slight est jolt Is that they rush' into an array of cross-counters and right-hand wallops, which, if vou stop to think, givee the blow a double force and that wouid put any man down. I don't like to be put down if I can help it, and so far have been very lucky. They find fault with my crouch ing position well, it brings home the mon-- hti.1 ti"t, aftr all. 's what I am in the game for. I don't fight for the fun of it. It's the 'thalers' that I look In the face every tiroe I crawl through the ropes." Hanlon, has, decided to extend his cam paign into another state. Instead of go ing east he wil take a spin up to Seattle and on Octeber 15 fight Jack McClelland, who was matched to fight Herrera there. Herrera Is reported to have Injured his wrist in training, but it may be "Dictator' riawiv hiiH finallv triumohed over "Bid- i. si;Op, as ne aeciareu wuum. non Ion will not have to do much training for viio ne.'rt- fip-tit. n5 Vip oftnift out of his last contest in first class shape.

Necessity of Building Underground Cars Entirely of MetaL As regards the twenty miles of sub way that are shortly to be opened in this city, the risk of suffocation due to the burning of a train is claimed to be not so great as on the Paris subway. for the alleged reasons that generally speaking, the subwav lies very close to the surface, the stations are closer to gether, and that the openings from the tunnel are ample for ventilation. As a matter of fact the provision for venti lation throughout the greater part of the road is merely that which exists at the stations, where it consists of noth ing more than the stairways for the en trance and exit or passengers. It is true that along the Boulevard there are open wells, but below forty-second street the subway will have to depend upon station stairways alone for venti lation. Certain it is that if a fire should oc cur, say on Fourth avenue, or beneath Forty-second street, the smoke and gases would have no ready means of escape from the tunnel, and dependence would have to be placed uuon the movement of the trains to effect its dis charge at the station openings. But when .we consider that just as many trains w-ill move in one direction as the other, it is difficult to see how the much talked of "piston effect" of the moving trains will clear the tunnei atmosphere by promoting a circulation of pure air. Indeed it is aretty safe to say that it will do nothing of the kind, and in the event of a fire there will be nothing for it but to close the particular section of the tunnel where it occurs to all traffic until the fire is subdued and the smoke and gases have had time to dissipate. It is absolutely imperative that the construction of the rolling stock be such that the burning of a car or train of cars will be rendered Impossible. The only certain way to insure this immu nity from fire is to exclude from the cars every particle of inflammable ma terial; and thi3 can be accomplished satisfactorily only by building them en tirely of metal. We are well aware that the manage ment of the Interborough Railroad com pany have stated that the new cars are to be very thoroughly flreproofed,' and it must be admitted that on paper the precautions that are to be taken in the way of incombustible linings for the floors of the car, asbestos protection, the use of fireproof paint, etc., are among the most approved methods of protect ing inflammable material. In the pres ent case, however, the risks attendant upt'n the breakdown of this system of flre-proofiing are so frightful that it should certainly be abandoned in favor of the only absolutely Bure method, of abolishing every particle of wood and making the cars from trucks to ventila tor, entirely of metal. Not very long go George Westlnghouse drew attention to this question of fire risk on tunnel roads and advocated the very means of pre venting It which we now urge. That the point was well made Is proved by the fact that the most progressive rail road in this country, namely, the Penn sylvania, is already constructing exper imental all-steel cars for use on its great tunnel system between New Jer sey and Long Island. Tt is obviously the only thing to do, for, in the pres ence of this Paris horror, what was for merly expedient now becomes absolutely imperative. Scientific American.

Similar Organization Planned for Coast Lines. According to a western paper, the Santa Fe railway employes of Xew Mexico have recently organized a loan and savings association, the objects of which are to encourage the men in sav ing and investing their earnings at a good rate of interest; also to assist those who wish to buy homes by loaning them funds on more reasonable terms than have heretofore been offered. Frank J. Easley. superintendent of the Santa Fe at Las Vegas, has been elected president of the association. Sim ilar companies have been running for many years, each of which has made a grand success. j It has long since been demonstrated j that there is nothing in all the fields j cf investment so valuable to the wage l earner as a properLy conducted loan and savings association. The rate of inter- I est is higher, the investment more se- j cure, and all the funds used for the i most noble purpose, that of buying home?. So important is this fact that j tar-seeing business men everywhere ar lieginninsr to deposit in such assooii- 1 lions, not for the rate of interest alone, i but to swell the funds with which I homes are to be purrhased. claiming. and correotlv. too, that on the cottage homes rests the securitv of our countrv. and the greater the number who bv homes, the greater our national secur- ity. It is stated that an attempt will be made to organize a similar association on the Santa Fe coast lines. H. TT. MTJDGE AT STEBLI3TG. Visits Boarding House Whera Ha Lived Whea Learning Railroading.

Missouri Pacific Likely to Giva Him Amicv it Tnli Iola, Kan., Oct The resignation of b- AUisou as agent tor tne Missouri Pacific here to accept 5. place as sales agent with charge of the traffic depart ment of ihe Kansas Portland Cement plant has given rise to speculation in regard to his successor. It seems to be fairly well settled that Harry Koch who has been cashier for the company here since Mr. Allison came here as agent, will succeed to the place. He is abundantly qualified for the place and his friends are willing to do all they can to land him in the place. Mr. Koch came ;it Mr. Allison's earn- est solicitation and so acceptably has he filled the place that when trans- f erred to a better place in Wichita, the company insisted that he return to T0a. They had been unable to find a man who could fill th difficult place here and as he had always given the ious best of satisfaction they were anxious for his return. X'ow he may be again promoted to the agincy. CHANGED TICKET AGENTS. J. D. Eastin, Agent at Emporia. Takes 055ce of Couatv Treasurer. Emporia. Kan., Oct.

Yeiserr of Austin, Tsx-, The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who derate their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in snpplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance withr physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, ia usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the foil name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. They know, that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation ajad of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there ia no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggist3 to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name 14 Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package,"but they never have the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort ta misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or faFig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the publie of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of vour money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who wul sell you what and is a spring connection to throw open and hold onen the knuckles in draw heads when cars are to be eou'- j pled.

The authorities might recover some of the money fruitlessly expended in liquor prosecutions by putting a joint ist in jail and charging the public a fee to see him. There is little doubt thit thousands would pay to see so great a curiosity. Professor Heilprin, who makes a specialty of Mt. .PeVte told, a Philadel phia audience last, week that he would not be surprised at another eruption of great violence by the volcano. He said the great new cone which has come 'ip out of the middle of the crater is now 840 feet high and 330 wide. He saw it rise 21 feet in four days. It keeps go ing up. Those persons who have been accus tomed to class anarchists and socialists together will note that members of the two: schools of economics fell out and fought at Barre, Vt., one day this week. Socialist theories are diametri cally opposed to those, of the. anarch ists. The former; beliaye everything: should be done by regulation of law and the latter would abolish all law. The difference could, not be greater. -Minneapolis Journal: There has been comparatively little said; el late regard ing reciprocity- with Cuba. That is not because the people are Indifferent, but because they have made up their minds the case is closed. If the special ses sion of congress doesn't act on that view of the case, the people wiH be heard from. Formerly we had SO per cent of Cuba's trade. Now we have only about half. A reciprocity treaty will put us back where we were. "The farming classes throughout the country are practieally sure of another prosperous year," says Clews Co.'s Financial Review.

We spent but an hour or two in oi.e of them, the largest, known as the National. or Ryks Museum. The building covers several acres and Is of three stories. The curi osities and works of art and interest include guns and equipment for sol diers and sailors, models of ships, delft and porcelain wares, silver and glass ware, jewelry and ornaments of various kinds, worn by generations passed, casts and sculpture and paintings of Rnbens, Franz Hals, Van Dyck and other artists, mainly those native to Holland. Two of the noted pictures here are Rembrandt's "Night Watch" and Van der Heist's "Banquet "Scene." The pic ture of greatest interest to us was one by Joseph Israels known as "Alone in the World." We knew this to be in this gallery, but found it with difficulty as it was in a room off from the main se-ies, reached by a side corridor. lined with busts and pieces of statuary. When found it seemed like an old friend, as we had ween it ten years ago at the World's fair, in Chicago, where the picture attracted great attention ard was perhaps oftener pointed out as a great work than any other at the Columbian Exposition. The scene, it will be remembered, represents the widower at the death bed of his wife. On either side of this painting were two excellent portraits by the same artist. Our train, which was to take us to the Rhine, was marked to leave at 3:2o, but none of the carriages which backed up to the platform in the large station was marked "Cologne," our objective point. We were at a loss into which compartment to go, but thinking surely the train must be ours. I sald 'Co logne," "Cologne." several times, tbuder and louder, to the station man lri "uni form: though not deaf he could not comprehend what was meant and was as? much distracted because he could not understand us as we were in not know ing what to do. Finally, during the proceedings of a dialogue, whlcn was coming to nothing, a bright young Hol land girl, who knew some English, said that our train was not there, but was backing up from the yards on the same track. She explained to the agent In uniform that we wanted to go to "Koln," pronouncing the "o" something like short "u." We; had supposed that Cologne -was Cologne whether perfumery, or i the name of a town. After the young Isdys explanation, there was no trouble in finding the accommodations. The railway ride through Holland takes one by scenes extremely novel to those from the prairies. The country, of course, is quite flat,- the windmill overshadowing everything else as a landmark. Canals and ditches divide the fields into parallelograms. Some of the canals weie not larger than ditches, although with sufficient water to tre mit the floating of small boats and skiffs and affording means of communi cation from farm to farm like country roadways for other craft in Kan sas. Other ditches were still narrower and filled, the province "r line fences. At a small station on the frontier ev erybody left the cars to look a'fter the inspection of luggage. With no trunks our permission to leave Holland and en ter Germany was a very simple per formance. One of the inspectors said something in Dutch, or German, as we opened our grips, merely looking into them. I said "Tea, bat knew I was taking some chances, not really know ing whether he said "You have no thing dutiable?" Or, "Have- you any thing dutiable?" Having nothing of that, sort of course we were safe, but I will never know whether I shoulef'fcare jsaid-'.'yes" or "no." but it is altogether likely that the insptctor did not understand my an swer, any more than- I did his ques tion. At any rate, he placed upon the grips chalk marks which looked something like the sign for the extraction of cube root, and we got back into our compart ment. A fine looking gentleman Joined us. We carried on a slow conversation by pointing to various sentences In a book whichgave phrases in English and cor responding ones in other languages. Li ter a college bred young mas, w.no could talfe the American; language like- a na tive, entered the carriage, and gave us all kinds of information, helping; to a decision as to the hotel which should receive our patronage, having a choice of several. The time card showed that we would arrive at Cologne at 10:20 at night. As the train pulled into a large station, it was twenty minutes past nine by my watch, and I remarked that we had only another hour's ride There was much scurrying around and nearly everybody left the train. Our German friend had stepped off tat the? ulatform. but seeing, that we were not following, came -back to explain, that this was Cologne where- we were going. Here followed a wild, scramble for hats, wraps, umbrellas and a general picking up. We got off before the train pulled out. Between Amsterdam and Cologne the time had. changed one hour. Our stopping place for the night was the Fotel du Nord, a beautiful hos telry facing the river and but a short distance from the great church thich with the twrfumery makes the city fa mous. The hotel has a large and at tractive court, with plants and flowersi; in profusion and a playing fountain in the center; Broad covered promenades open from the hotel on to the court; on. these porches the meals are served. There was now between us and home a difference of seven hours time, and as" we were rising early we were setting up about the time Topekans were going to. bed. In Cologne we attempted only to visit the church after, breakfast and before taking the boat at nine o'clock. This great cathedral, naturally, from the outsida Impressed us with its great size and: magnificence, the interior view giving the feelin? of owe which comes over all who-enter. The windows afford numerous illustrations of the art of the maker of st&ined glass. The place for worstiD seems so laree that we imag ined !f the ICansas state house, wings, dome- and all, were olaced inside there would still be room for services. Th foundations ot this cathedral, its history says, were laid six hundred and fifty years ago, the construction pro ceeding slowly for several centuries. In the early part of the last century subscription papers were circulated and collections taken with such success that the church was completed, with the ex ception of the towers, about twenty-five years ago. The last stones were put on the steeples, five hundred feet above the sidewalk, some twenty years since, at which time it will be remembered there was a gTeat celebration of the event in various parts of the worla. One of the few places in Europe where we were "held up" was at Cologne. The amount is so insignificant that It is not worth considering, except to relate a lit tle incident and to show that the con tract made by your agent is not always lived up to by the party of the second part. I had been persuaded that it was always best to make your bargain with the cab man before getting into his cab, but not knowing the language dele gated this transaction to my friend the porter. The agreement was for an hour's tide and the porter said it would be a mark and fifty pfennigs, about thirty seven cents. This was very cheap, in deed, but when the boat was reached the driver demanded another mark, twenty-five cents. He was receiving little enough for the ride but it would have been pleasanter if he had named the same figure at the start that he had at the end. After this the eabmanand I understood the figures without the in tervention of arty middle man and when this plan was followed there was never any trouble. This reminds me that,there are exceptions to the rule of agreeing on prices in advance. One day, in walk ing about London, trying to find the lo cation of the Daily Mail, which is on a side street, I got lost, at least felt I was losing time without gaining ground. 1 called a cabman and said, "How much to No. 3 Carmelite street, a shilling?" The cabby replied "Yes." He drove a couple of blocks to the spote. As I handed him the shlllinsr. he smiled,and I smiled in return. The schedule orTtha inside of the cab said the driver was entitled to a sixpence for the distance he had driven me, but this trip was made by a bargain agreed upon. The incident shows the folly of replying to your own question in the same sentence you are asking for information j One often reads of the "line-up" of servants in foreign hotels when the guest is departing and those who have served him assemble along the line to see him off. The nearest approach to this was at the Hotel du Nord. As we were leaving the room the maid hap pened to be between us and the eleva tor. Twenty pfennigs, five cents. seemed satisfactory to her. The ele vator boy took ten pfennigs, two and one-half cents, with thanks. One's bill is presented by the waiter at the table who last served the guest. This man got twenty pfennigs. The entrance hall leading to the bus at the curbstone was lined by a half a dozen servants, with the porter at the end opening the cab door. We knew we were in for running the gauntlet. Two men, one of whom had helped us In with our lug gage and the other helped us out witn it. got twenty-five pfennigs each: The "boots" was passed, with a stony stare anr he returned the compliment, al though he knew nothing was coming to him for no shoes had been polished. We reasoned that, as he had rendered no service, he could not expect any remun eration, and got away without being mobbed and apparently living up pret ty closelv to the customs. 1 think tnis line was. In waiting tor another party ho had stayed longer st toe notei. The oorter. with the fifty pfennigs of mv money in one hand, closed the door with th other and we were off, al though I found at the dock another at tendant of the hotel, who insisted upon: carrying, out' grips fro j.th--at dowri the gangway, for which he received twenty-five pfennigs. This made many pfennigs, but not many cents, and gave us a lot of experiences and would pos sibly insure us a warm welcome on any return upon the part of everybody, with the Dossible exception or tne rjoots. whose future treatment, of course, would be problematic. In looking back over our trip, in the mater of tips, it is likely we were prob ably, as a w hole, a trifle liberal, at least more so than the natives of the coun tries through which we passed would have been to their fellow-citizens who served them, but the saving ot a few cents in tips often costs dollars in de lays and vexations. Jt is easy, without aparent intention, to be directed to a wromr depot or to a local train iiislch.ii of a through express. We were told that the employes at hotels all through the continent have a code of wireless communication, by which ther transmit information from one city to another, giving the standing and rjedigree of the traveler, whetner he is close, medium or liberal as to tips. This knowledge is conveyed by certain inserintions chalked upon the lujrgage and a!o by the method of sticking on the labels. Tile losition or manner of sticking the tag upon the trunk indi cates whether the owner is good, indif ferent or tad. This, means that the moment a traveler seta foot into a hotel his whole past career, with his probable future conduct as to fees, lies like an open book before the people who are to administer to his comforts, or apparently in great innocence, assist him to miss trains or valuable informa tion. The ride up the Rhine gave twelve solid hours of rjleasure, on a fine day," on a tine boat. The river averages about one-third of a mile wide and deep enough for its great commerce. The current 13 quite swift, the water not clpar. but almost as yellow as that of the Kaw. The banks are certainly picturesque and, although not, in the main, more beautiful than those of the Hudson, have the added charm given by age and history. Occasionally lands adlaeent are low, but' as a rule the abutting ground is, high and for miles is a continuation of great hills running un into tjsalt There is a succession of castles, some mere ruins; others rebuilt into summer homes for royalty. We passed castles from three hundred to eight hundred years old. Several of them were put out of business by Napoleon and have never been used since. We came to Bonn, cel ebrated for its great university; Cob lentz, a large city protected by immense fortifications on a great hill opposite. The base of this fort is connected with the city by an immense pontoon bridge. To make way for our steamer, two sec tions of the bridge were floated down and to one side and afterwards returned to place by steam power. v Approaching thi-city we passed a mammoth equestrian statue of Emperor William I., several tiftfes life sizei About the statue was a space "of several acres of flat masonry extending to the bank of the Rhine and there forming substantial dock?. Further up the stream is the Lorelei, a name given to a great promontory ex tending far out into the river, creating a sharp bend and requiring a tunnel for the railroad following the river. On either side of the Ahine are rail road lines and substantial driveways. Occasionally an automobile went by leavin us and a trail of- dust behind. A monument to Bleuehjer, who save Napoleon-trouble-otv both sides or the river, is one of the landmarks and ne.rr by can be seen the place where part of the mountain slid down causing a great catastrophe a few years ago. One of the most picturesque castles is that called "The Rheinstein" on a pin acle of rock which would seem to re quire an elevator t. reach It. The prop erty is owned by the emoeror and his brother. Prince Henry, who visited thist country last year, it is said, was spena I ing the summer there, I About sunset there was a beautiful view of "Bingen, Fair Bingen On The Rhine," which the schoolbooks nave made a spot familiar to every rising generation. As you pass the "Mouse Tower," near here, the legend is told of the bishop who used it for a storehouse in an ei fort to corner the grain supply, but it proved a harbor for mice that gnaweu him to death. Another story is that this was a toll tower of a baron, wno years ago levied toll oh every passing ship, until he was put out of business and his toll gate reduced to rums by those favoring unrestricted river com merce. Nearly opposite Bingen is the monu ment "Germania," standing on the side of" a great hill, and resembling the Statue of Liberty in the New York harbor. This monument is the one erected by Germany some years ago to commemorate victory in the Franco Prussian war. Beyond is ftudesheim. a name promi nent on the wine lists in American dining cars and hotels. The most striking feature of the Rhine, hardly excepting the castles, is the almost continuous vinvards lining either side of the river for fullv one half of the one hundred miles we trav ersed. The vines, as a rule, are on hill sides so stee that the earth would not hold the roots exeeirt for the irregular stone walls extending along every few feet apart on the hill sides. The keeper of a successful vineyard should own a good stone quarry and be a good mason, or at least have predecessors who have prepared his ground by nu merous retaining walls. Mary came pretty near parting with her parents when the boat stopped at a dock wa thought in th2 darkless, was Mainz. She had crosed ahead to- the pier, when the gang plank was sud denly hauled in, but immediately push ed back for her amid the houts of the captain who said "Biebrich, Biebrich, not Mainz, not Mainz," which was fif teen minutes away on the opposite bank. It wag dark and nine at nigbt when we left the boat at Mainz at the end of a memorable day. Here the Hotel Hol land gave good entertainment. This town is the real birthplace of printing, for here five hundred years ago was born Gutenberg, who invented movable types, gave his great discovery to the world and died poor and friendless. The town which ill treated him during hi8 life, actually driving him once from the city, now holds a beautiful statue to his memory. Though a substantial memorial. It is an insignificant monu ment compared with that of his inven tion, the art practiced in every print ing office in the world. The next three days were spent In Switzerland. A brief account of ex periences will follow In the next ar ticle of this 'series. F. P. M." CO-OPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING Another experiment, and one that will be watched with much interest, is to be tried In co-operative housekeeping in Brooklyn. Fifty persons have associ ated themselves in what may be called an eating club. Their scheme is to have a common kitchen, .presided oyer by a chef and assistant with a staff -of three dinner waiters, and meals at a club restaurant or at home as preferred. Meals at first will be served a la carte and at restaurant prices, but after cer tain expenses of initiation Jsave been met -prices will be reduced, as this is not- to- be a irioney making enterprise Besides thechef,"who will Jbok after the buying and the details of the kitchen, there will be a committee of three, a director, secretary, and treasurer, .who will attend to the business and financial details. "The scheme seems to have been ar ranged,"" says the Chicago Tribune, "carefully, and if the fifty members can agree and are satisfied not only with each other but with their meals, which is no slight accomplishment, it should succeed, and the members should get good meals for less than they are now paying. Besides this they will escape one source of annoyance, if not of actual distress, which is forcing 'so many pei sons into family hotels and apartments with cafe attachments. It may not solve the servant problem entirely, for there are othr house duties besides those in the kitchen to be performed, but it wil remove one source of trouble and make housekeeping easier. The scheme, promising as it seems, may fall, as others have failed, but if so, another plan may yet be devised that will suc ceed. As the difficulties of housekeep ing increase and the servant problem grows more and more exasperating, some form of co-operative housekeeping may be an absolute necessity. Besides, it is on the lines towards which every thing in business, in polities, in society, even in. the church, is tending. Com bination and co-operation are in the air." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. It must have been a fallen angel who invented ansrel cake. When squashes get into the pie they are considered some pumpkins. A suburban servant is known by the family she condescends to let live with her. No, Cordelia, the seashore breeze is not caused by the hotel victims blowing in their money. The amateur piano player Is all right, the trouble is with the people who don't like that kind of music. It's a good thing for some people that the necessities of life do, not include brains. REVIEW OF OAS CASE. Exceptions to Masters Report Now Being Prepared. For two weeks J. D. MeFarland, attor ney for the city in the dollar gas case, has been working on- the preparation of his bill of exceptions to the report of the special master.

TO PERA STATE JOTJKNAI THUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 8,103 WE QLB RELIABLE Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE HOW SCHWAB WORKS. Much Light Thrown on the Steel Magnate Methods?"; New Toik, Oct. 8. After a pool of 200,000 preferred and million common stock had been placed in the hands of Harris, Gates Co., in connection with the formation of the United States Ship building company, it was agreed that none of this stock should be marketed until 25,000 preferred and 25,000 common, owned by J. P. Morgan Co., and 75, 000 of each kind owned by C. M. Schwab had first been sold, according to the statements of D. Leroy Dresser In legal proceedings. Mr. Dresser told also of his original agreement as president of the Trust Company of the Republic, to. ob tain the underwriting of 3 million of United States Shipbuilding company stock; how this was increased to four and three-quarter millions by the fail ure of the French subscribers to pay up: how Mr. Schwab came to offer his Bethlehem works to the shipbuilding company and how J. P. Morgan Co. then came into the transaction. Mr. Dresser, who took the stand at the opening of the hearing, testified that he was president of the Trust company of the Republic from its organization, March SI, 1902. until March 4, 1903. He told of the visit to him in April, IsiOO, of John J. McCook, who told him he came from John V. Young and the Mercan tile Trust company, and asked the Trust Company of the Republic to un i -4vrwrite,3 million dollars of the stock of the UnitPd States Shipbuilding com pany, showing Mr. Dresser the under writing agreement which said that 3 million dollars had been taken in Lon don and 3 million dollars In France. The trust company authorized him to get the underwriting, which he did. La ter he increased the underwriting to 4 million dollurs at the request of the pro moters because they said London failed to take the 3 million dollars it had promised to take. Mr. Dresser said he iad no written statement as to the values of the plants in the company when he undertook the underwriting, but that Lewis IMixou and John V. Young had made oral rep resentations. Mr. Dresser identified a copy of the prospectus, and It was ad i jnitted In evidence. He said all the un derwriting secured by the Trust com pany of the Republic was secured for the Mercantile Trust company. The re sponses to the advertisement for sub scriptions was poor, he said, not moru than $600,000 of the bonds being applied for in America. The purchase of the Bethlehem steel works for the shipbuild ing company was then discussed, Mr. Dresser stating that the overtures for the sale of the steel company had been made by Charles M. Schwab, who said he owned nearly all of the stock of the Bethlehem Steel company and that, be cause of Its armor making capacity, be lieved that the company would do bet ter with the shipbuilding than with the United States Steel corporation. Mr. Schwab, according to Mr. Dresser, said he wanted 9 million dollars casi fne his stock and submitted reports which showed that it cost him more than V million dollars and was earning $1,450, 000 a year. "We told him we could not trade on any such basis," said Mr. Dres ser, "because we had no cash, and hu said be would take 10 million dollars in bonds at 90 for the 9 million dollars. This was agreed to, the arrangement also providing that he was to recelvu with Ihe bonds a stock bonus of 9 mil lion dollars each of the common and preferred stock of the United States Shipbuilding company, Schwab stating that 2 million dollars of the stock was to go to J. P. Morgan Co. A hen the contract was presented for signature it was found to call for the purchase by Messrs. Dresser and Nixon personally of 299,870 shares of the Beth lehem company's stock from J. P. Mor gan Co. for $7,246,871 cash, 2 mil lion dollars in common stock of the United States Shipbuilding company and an eaual amount of the preferred. Mr. Dresser said he objected to obli gating himself personally, but Mr. Schwab exolained that the deal would have to be carried out that way and that on the da? for payment he would provide the cash to make the payment. Then Dresser and Nixon were to hand the cash to Morgan Co., who would hand over the Bethlehem company's stock mentioned in the contract.

Irish Nationalist opinion of Premier Balfour's recon structed cabinet Is voiced in a tele gram from John Redmond, the Irish leader, to the Associated Press, as fol io wc: "Dublin. Oct. 8. The reconstructed cabinet is in its personnel incomparably weaker than it was. No new man of any mark has been added to it. Arnold Forster is careful and industrious, but he is a most commonplace official. "Alfred Lyttleton is entirely unknown outside of the cricket field. "Austen Chamberlain's promotion to the chancellorship would under other circumstances be denounced as a job; but it is rightly regarded as an auda cious, characteristic maneuver of his father to gain Kudos from his resigna tion and at the same time to Iteeu liis grip on the cabinet. "It goes without saying that the gov ernment cannot last. The desertion of the Duke of Devonshire gave it its knockout blow. Whether it will meet parliament in January or not is very doubtful. .But if it does 1 believe it will not last a week, unless the Irish party comes to its rescue.

On the bigr stage of the Washburn college chapel, in front of an audience of 500 people, there was a fierce color fight between the girls of the fresnmau and sophomore classes last night, in which thirty-five sophomore girls tried to "rush" forty freshman girls orf the platform. Tables and chairs were over turned, the president's chair was smash ed to pieces, clothes were torn and hats were lost, and the fight was almost as rough and tumble as the cane rush of the sophomore and freshman boys which was "celebrated" a few minutes later on the campus in front or the chapel. While the cane rush was pre arranged, and conducted according to certain recognized "rules of war,'" liiu color rush of the girls came without e minute's warning, and was something entirely unprecedented in the history oi the college. It may have serioui con sequences. For an hour the girls of the rival classes had been standing on the chapel seats, each class trying to yell the other down, the freshmen giris ex ulting in the fact that the boys of the class had by stratagem succeeded in get ting the bunch of freshmen canes up into the chapel. Suddenly some of the freshmen girls started to carry the class colors a long strip of red bunting up to the platform. With a wild cheer, all of the treshmen girls went flying toward the platform homing to the red bunting and waving it above their heads. There came an answering cheer and stampede trom the other side or thti room, and a flash of the yellow colorn of the sophomore class was discernible in the midst of the throng of girls whicn cams charging to meet the freshmen from the opposite side of the stage. There was aosolutely nothing to do but to fight. One side or the other would have to get off that platform. The freshmen and sophomore, ama zonian cohorts came together with a crash. Shrieks and screams and the sund of smashing furniture resounded above the yells of encouragement from the students in the audience. First the broad band of sophomore yellow would stretch from one end of the stage to j the other; then it would be gradually pusnea oacK ana swaiiowea up in a sen of crimson as the freshmen girls forced their way to the front, and flaunted their bunting in the face of the audience. Suadtnly a tall man in a long ulster came running through the door of the chapel, pushed his way down the crowded aisle, and jumped up on the stage. He made excited gestures, pull ed the struggling girls apart, shouted and commanded, and in a few minutes succeeded in clearing the "sfaf e, The tin man was Prof. Orville Towne. who had been acting as sort of referee, peace maker and general supervisor of the an nual freshman-sophomore imbroglio. A few minutes later, after Prof. Towne had restored a sort of peace and quiet over the audience by means of a pow erful duplex whistle, he made a speech. "I regret very much some of the things which have taken place this ev ening," he said, "and especially that which has just occurred here on this platform. The students were forbidden carrying this fight up here into the chapel by action of the trustees, and it is to the trustees, and not the faculty, that you must answer. It Is a legal ac tion, and not a faculty action which you have violated. "Now I will state that there is a dis pute over the terms of the agreement entered into by the freshmen and so phomore classes for this cane rush. The sophomores claim that the canes should have been brought between the posts of the main college gate, which they were not. Now. we have decided to re fer this to a committee composed of one sophomore, one freshman, the president of the senior class and the president of the junior class, acting with myself. This committee will meet at once, while the literary programme arranged for this evening is' carried out."' Meantime, the bundle of -freshmen canes, tied up with wire, was safely in the chapel. Acting according to what they supposed was the agreement, the sophomore boys had lined up solidlyoe tween the posts of the college gate. At about 8:30, the freshmen came charging down on them, bearing what Feemed to be a bundle of canes, but which was really a fake, bundle. While the two classes were fighting at the gate, four or five fleetfooted freshmen came on a dead run down the sidewalk, and car ried the real canes safely to the chapej. This ruse made the sophomores mad, and they proceeded to tie up as many of the freshmen as they could get hoid of. Later these were released. After the conference committee went out to settle the dispute and determine wheth er the victory should be awarded to c.ie freshmen for getting their canes safely to the chapel, the. brief programme prepared by the. Washburn College Literary society was given. There was a song by the so ciety quartette, which was very good, and a declamation, essay and extempore ora tion, to which nobody paid any particular attention because of too much other ex citement. The conference committee reported as its decision that the freshmen, to claim the victory, must carry their canes from the bottom of the. outside steps of the chapel down the street and through the college gate. It was here that the cane rush really commenced. The 22 sophomore boys lined up at the bottom of the chapel steps and the 28 fjefhmen charged down on them with the panes in their midst. For a whiis it looked as thoiiRh the freshmen might get laff canes through the gate, for the struggling mass was pushed half way from the chapel to the gate before it wai t,-erved by the sophomores. Then the su petior weight of the sophomores began to tell and gradually the jam around the canei was turned out of the road and pushed for some distance over into: the campus, a crowd of several hundred spec tators following. At last a sophomore succeeded in pulling a cane out of t'ae bunch, and then, one by one, the canes were pulled out and carried off by the captors, or else broken in the struggle. Not one of the canes was taken out through the college gate, and the victory of the sophomore class was undisputed. The present sophomore clas is composed of unusually husky men. While they were outnumbered considerably by- the fresh men, thev had the best of it in scrapping ability. It is the first time that the sophomores have ever succeeded in keep ing the freshmen from carrying canes. Last year, as freshmen, the present soph omore class carried their canes to the chapel and safely out again. Kftnsns City and Return $3 via Santa Fe. Tickets on sale October 4 to 10.

Mid At their meeting in the Commercial club rooms Wednesday afternoon the stockholders cf the Kansas Midwinter Exposition company decided to proceed with arrangements for' a show during the coming winter. Its dates will be January 26 to February 5. The officers and directors of the company for last year were re-elected.. Manager R. S. Brigham will have personal chasge of the preparations for the exposition. RALPH H. BRIGHAM, Manager Midwinter Exposition. 'i'. i i The, .direclgis',, meeting iesteraay. .was not a long one.. There, was no opposi tion to the proposition to hold a fair. Assurances were given by exhibitors at last year's exposition that another exposition would be well supported and an investigation of this winter's amuse ment events showed that the proposed dates for the show, would conflict with no other entertainment of importance. The Exposition company has money in its treasury left from last year and its two years of experience has prepared it for more successful operations again. Correspondence with possible exhib itors will be undertaken at once by Manager Brigham who will also set about the preparation of an attractive prospectus for the Midwinter show. An entirely new line of entertainment -fear tures will be devised for this year and as much variety as possible will be se cured in the exhibits of manufactured and natural products of the state. The success of the two former expositions under the able management of Mr. Brigham has given the people of To peka and of the state the greatest con fidence in the Midwinter fair so that the prospects are very bright for the suc cess of this winter's efforts. "We are going to give a better show than ever before," said Manager Brig ham today, "and we shall "set about getting ready for it at once. Our suc cesses in previous years has assured us that there ,is a field for a manufac turers" exDosition in Topeka and our effort shall be to perfect tfce ideas that we have tried to work out in the prev ious winter fairs. The litigation of the space at our disposal makes it impossi ble for us to enlarge the scale of our operations. But we can see places where improvements over last year were possible. It will be the purpose to better the class of entertainments, which were exceptionally good last year, ard to work for pleasing effects among the permanent displays of the exposition. It will be possible to select from a wider field than was at our dis posal last year and the management of the fair will co-operate with the ex hibitors assist them in showing their disDlays to the best advantage." The officers re-elected foranotheryear at yesterday's meeting of stockholders were: W. H. Davis, president; John E. Frost, vice president; William Green, treasurer: R. S.

Effort Being Made to Collect Overdue Interest v State Treasurer Kelly is now going after the counties and school districts which have bonds in the state schoel fund on which they have defaulted the interest. There is now due the state $217,623 in interest on such bonds. This money should be in the state treasury and Treasurer Kelly wants ft there. He has therefore made up the list or Donas on which interest has been defaulted and has turned them over to the attor ney general foB collection.

BARBERS IN TROUBLE. The New Law Appears to Ba a Source of Controversy. The new barber law is making trou ble in a number of Kansas towns. Its passage has been urged for years on the ground that it would make barber shops more cleanly. The last legisla ture finally passed the law, making it apply to all towns of more than 3,000 inhabitants. It went into effect last June and compelled all old-time bar bers to pay a fee of one dollar and take out a licyense before September 1. If they did not get their license by that time -they are compelled to pay a fee of five dollars to the state barbers' board and take an examination. This last feature is making trouble In a number of towns. In Salina, for The ordinary yellow laundry soap may do well enough for scrubbing and for the'eoarser work in the laundry, but to get a clear snow white in the linens and muslins, to save the costly embroider ies and the sheer and delicate fabrics, to avoid the unpleasant odor that is often too perceptible in the towels and bed linen, use Ivory Soap, a pure soap made of only the cleanest, best materials. Ivory Soap 99;0 Per Cent. Pure. ri j instance, the blanks for the old bar bers were sent to one barber and he was told to distribute them among the other barbers in the town. He did not do it, and as a consequence a number of the Salina barbers did not get their licenses before September 1. Now the board is insisting en their paying the five dollar fee and taking an examina tion, which they refuse to do. The barbers of Wellington now allege that the board is trying to compel the j use of a certain brand of sterilizer. This is probably a' mistake, for the board has approved a number of dif ferent sterilizers and barbers can take their choice. About the only effect the law has had in Topeka has been, to raise the pric of shaves 50 per cent. The service Is exactly, the same, so far as patrons can see, as it was before the law went into effect. Everybody reads the gtate Journal. Confessions of a Priest. Rev. John S. Cox of Wake, Ark., writes: "For 12 years I suffered from yellow jaun dice. I consulted a number of physicians and tried all sorts of medicines, but got no relief. Then I began the use of "Electric Bitters and feel that I am now cured of a disease that had me in its grasp for 12 years." If you want a reliable medicine for liver and kidney trouble, stomach dis orders or general debility, get Electric Bitters. It's guaranteed by Arnold Drug Co., 821 North Kansas ave. Only 60 cents. The Kind You Have Always Bought. "HIS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision ot Chas. H.

When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations,- but -our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the reat danger of intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed count-brfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves, but the child has to rely on the mother's watehfulness.

I Then is the time to feed Cirape-Nuts, the most scientific and perfect food in I the world. A lady of Washington says: "Three years ago I was very ill with catarrh I of the stomach and was given up to die I by one doctor. I laid in bed four nionths and tr:' stomach was so weak that J cou'c1 not keer down medicine or harrilv anv kind of food and was so weak and emaciated after four months i of this starvation that my daughter could easiV pet me from bed and put me in my chair. But weak as my j stomach was, it accented and relished 1 find digested Grape-Nuts without any difficulty the first time that wonderful i food was '.r'.?i. "My doctor told me that I would have to eat ji a.e-Nuts, which were predi gested, and although 1 felt certain I could not kee the tood on my stomach I had to mavf the trial, and it was a i most complete success.

For a minute or two the lion had the plaza to himself and lay down under a wagon. A keeper came along and tried to coax the lion back to his cage, but the latter trotted away to another part of the plaza. La ter the employes of the menagerie came to the spot in force, built up a barri cade of boxes, doors and boards around the b2ast. ar.d brought a cage contain ing a baby lion close to the escaped lion. But the elder lion did not show the least interest in the baby, crept through the barricade and wandered around the plaza.

TOPEKA STATE JOUKHAL, THUBSDAY 'EVENING. OCTOBER 8, 1C03. 7 let One of the lareest and most import ant of the several fashionable autumn weddings was that of Miss Katharine Miller Fleishma nn and Air. John IDavid Mulvane. which was celebrated at the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Fleishmann, 1020 Van Buren treet, Wednesday evening. The cere mony, which took place at half after 8 'clock, was Derformed by the Rev. J. X. Countermine. Miss Charlotte Park hurst at the piano slaved the wedding marches and the accompaniment for Mr. Kurt Kellam, of Kansas City, who ang Soceski's "I Love Thee" just be fore the entrance of the bridal party. This included Miss Clara Fleishmann. the bride's sister, as maid of honor, and Miss Marcia Spivey, "Miss Margaret Jones, Miss Louise Kellam and Miss Agnes Gunther, bridesmaids; Josephine Hankla, ring bearer; and Mr. Joseph Wilson, groomsman. Pink and white in effective combination prevailed in the gowning of the maids, and the decora tions of the house were admirably in keeping:. Kvcry room was treated to a lavish use of smilax and palms. The staircase and newel post were almost concealed beneath the heavy waxen leaves of the Alabama smilax entwined through the pillars and over the railing, and the landings were banked with palms. Smilax was hung in the angle of wall and ceiling in every room to form a heavy border of green, and was draped in the doorways, upon the chandeliers, and over the windows. In the back drawing room, where the cere mony took place, palms and smilax were banked against every wall. from floor to ceiling, and here pink roses and carnations lent a touch of lighter color to the rich dark mass. In the dining room were pink carnations again with the green, and white tulle festooned and looped on the chandelier and table. A lovely toilet of ivory white chiffon cloth, simply made over soft white silk and a long, graceful tulle veil proved most becoming to the bride's girlish charms. She carried a large bouquet of white carnations. The maid of honor was in white silk "rrenadine over pink taffeta, and her bouquet was of pink carnations. The four maids were in white wash blonde, with sashes of pink chiffon, wreaths of pink rosebuds and bouquets of pink carnations. Miss Parkhurst was in white wash blonde with white satin sash. The little ring bearer wore a white embroidered swiss, and carried the ring in the heart of a great white carnation. The bride's gifts to her attendants were gold bracelets.

The jury in the district court this morning decided that Fritz Durein was guilty on two counts of selling liquor contrary to law. The case against Durein was brought by Assistant Attorney General A. L. Redden. The case was once carried to the supreme court and there dismissed without prejudice and was begun again in the district court by Redden. There were originally ten counts in the com plaint. Only two of the counts went to the jury and the jury found Durein guilty on both counts. Judge Hazen ruled Out all but the eighth and tenth counts on the ground of former jeopardy. Judge Hazen's ruling is to the effect that an arrest of a jointist by the police and trial in police court wipes out the bad record of the jointist up to that time so far as further prosecution in the district court is concerned. The ruling of Judge Hazen's is that if a jointist is arrested, as an example, on August 10 and again on August 15 and he is tried in both case's, then any evi dence on or previous to the arrest on the 10th can not be used in the trial foi the arrest on the 15th. This rulin? means that the oftener the police arrest jointists the less evidence the prosecu tion will have in each case. BUSINESS WAITS. Iron Trade Is Watching for Develop ments. Cleveland. Ohio, Oct. 8. The Iron Trade Review this week says: 1 Another week has passed in- -which the iron trade has been busier watching developments than in buying and sell ing. The meeting of the southern fur nacemen and their decision on prices, the action of pig iron producers in three sections indefinitely planning to cut down production, and finally the cutting in two of the dividend on the common stock of the lTniKd States Steel corporation, combined to make the week eventful. Meantime business has waited. We estimate the probable eurtoilmer.t of pig iron production in the last quarter of the year through consorted action at close to 925,000 tons. This counts on 750.000 tons from the re strictive programme of central western furnaces and 175,000 tons from the southern and eastern furnaces, provid ed the eastern furnaces continue through November and December the twenty per cent reduction planned for October. The situation as to southern iron has been complicated by some moves made in advice of the action of the associa tion meeting at Birmingham. There ha3 not been enough buying ir. the week to make the market olsr, but $10.50 and 110.75 iron is not plenti ful, and it remains to be seen whether the twenty-five per cent reduction in output decided on by southern associa tion furnaces will enable them to work off accumulated stocks at current prices. The steel market has been with out feature, less being rard of billet prices below those asrreed unon. There is no market for Besppmer iron, which can be had at $15.50 Valley furnace. Northern fourdry iron Is irregular, being generally at $14.50 to $14.75 for No. 2 at furnace. Anti-Horsethief Association Adjourns Springfield. II!.. Oct. S.

Washington, Oct. 8. The state de partment was informed today that the American Chinese commercial treaty has been sigrned at Shanghai and that the Japanese-Chinese treaty will be signed this afternoon. The cablegram announcing the signing of the treaty was sent from Shanghai and was sign ed by Minister Conger, Consul General Goodnow and Mr. Seaman the three commissioners who negotiated the in strument. An imperial decree by the Chinese government has made the treaty effective so far as that govern ment is concerned but it must be rati fied by the t'nited States senate before ratifications can be exchanged and the treaty put in operation. Great satisfac tion is expressed at the state depart ment at the outcome as it makes cer tain that the two ports in Manchuria will be opened to the I'nited States no matter what the outcome as to the ne gotiations for the evacuation of that territory by Russia may be. The as surance that Russia has previously given and to which this government would insist upon adherence is that the treaty arrangements, made with China covering Manchurian ports will be binding puon the Russian govern ment. COST MOKE MONEY. Additional Appropriation to Complete Chicago School Buildings. Chicago, Oct. 8. An additional appro priation aggregating $67,700 to complete school buildings in process of construc tion was made by the board of educa tion last night. This is said to be only a portion of the sum in excess of the original appropriations which must be expended before tte structures for which contracts have already been awarded can be completed, for the cost of every school now being built will, it is de clared, greatly exceed the appropria tions. To the operations of the alleged sheet metal contractors' pool and the advance in the cost of labor and buildinz ma terials is laid the blame for the increase in the cost of building the schools.

WON'T COME AGAIN. Kansas City Excursionists Sore About Treatment in Topeka. That the Kansas City Woodmen of the World are not pleased with the re ception they got in Topeka Sunday, Sep tember 20, when they came up here at the invitation of the Topeka players) to play a game of baseball, is evident from the letter N. H. Wolff, head officer of the local W. O. W.. has received. The Kansas City players came up on that date, bringing an excursion, of about 500 people, who came to see a ball gam between the Kansas City Schmel zers, and the Democratic Flambeau club of Topeka. They all went down to the fair grounds, where they had been told the game was to take place, but the Topeka contingent never came. Long after the hour set the Kansas City boys were batting a few flies" for prac tice and wondering why the inviting team had not appeared. They were thus engaged when they were charged upon by a patrol wagon full of policemen, and told that no game would be played on the Sabbath day. Then the 500 returned to Kansas City, and an officer of the W. O. W. of that tity wrote a letter, of which the follow ing are a few extracts: "Mr. N. IL Wolff, Esteemed Sovereign: I talked in every car on our train coming home, and it was the unanimous talk that it was the shabbiest exhibition of self righteousness that any community could show. Our excursion was not made up of thugs or thieves, but on the contrary, all gentlemen and ladies. The onry Doisterous persons on the whole train were a couple that returned with us, and citizens of the 'Holv city of Topeka," and were filled with some of Us holy firewater. Topeka sends many excursionists to Kansas City every year. Have we ever accorded them such treatment? I think not So" long as they do not break up our furniture they are free to enjoy themselves. Ere we again try the hospitality of the "Holy City she will be gone hence. Fraternally. Geo. W. Clark, te cording secretary. Phoenix camp, W. O. W." Clark also wrote a warm letter to the promoters of the ball game who invited them to come up. The Topeka.people who were responsi ble for the game that was not played, make the excuse for not showing up at the fair grounds that they had been warned by the police not to try it.

CAN'T lELLITii ,,v Kansas Farmers Have Macaroni Wheat on Their Hands. Sheridan County Farmers .Ap peal to Board of "Agriculture. CAUL ETON STILL FIRM. Government Specialist Insists It Is All Kisht. Writes a Defense for St. Louis Milling Journal. An inquiry comes to the state board of agriculture from Swathoff Bros., of Relde, Sheridan county, asking the board where a market can be found for macaroni wheat. They say that they have about 1.300 bushels for sale. They would like to have the board recom mend the new wheat, so that they can dispose 6f their seed, but Assistant Secretary Mohler wrote that it is out of the province of the board to make recommendations of that character. The fight over macaroni wheat be tween the Minnesota millers and mill ing journals and the friends of the new wheat, including the United States department of agriculture, is waxing hotter than ever. The Northwestern Miller is using several columns of edi torial soace each -veek in ridiculing "goose whept." as it is called. But the new wheat has produced so bountifully in North Dakota that the farmers there can make much more raising it, even rtt a low mice; than they can by rais ing the old varieties,, that the cultiva tion "of macaroni wheat is rapidly spreading. Good returns have also re cently been secured in Texas. M. A. Carleton, formerly of Kansas, the cereal specialist of the United States department of agriculture, who is resoonsible for the introduction of macaroni wheat into the United States, answers some of the criticisms of the new wheat in a letter to the Modern Millar of St. Louis, in which he says in Dart: "The macaroni wheat industry has reached such a stae-e that for Rome time the department of agriculture has not considered it necessary to urge its further promotion., From the stand points, of cultivation, milling, market ing, etc., it is now entirely able to take care of itself and stands on its own merits. In connection with the recent discussion concerning this wheat it is, therefore, unnecessary to give atten tion to criticisms in detail, outside of our regular publications. The follow ing words will suffice to summarize briefly the principal facts in regard to the matter, leaving all details of our experiments with the grain, flour and semolina to be published in a regular report, which is exrweted to be issued within a month or six weeks. "There is also no basis for the state ment that the department has encour aged the cultivation of the grain in any other- than semi-arid or" arid dis tricts. We 'have! distinctly discouraged its" cultivattonn outride of;..a compara tively narrow belt extending-north and south through the Great Plains, one to two hundred miles east and west of the 100th meridian, and in a few very small areas in the .western mountain states. Even in the Red River Valley of the 'north we- have recommended that the macaroni wheat be grown sparingly; as its quality, in that region is likely to be inferior compared to the same wheat grown farther west." The department had a baking test oiade by a Washington bakery, using the best macaroni flour obtainable, and the best northwestern spring wheat patent. One loaf of each kind was sub mitted to bread experts at Minneapolis without telling them what kind of flours were used. Concerning these tests Mr. Carleton says: "It will be of interest to quote here exactly the answers to -the questions asked in the ease of our bread-making experiment, as given by one of the Minneapolis experts the conclusion' as to the relative merits of the two breads being entirely opposite to the statements in the Minneapolis test. It will be remembered that in the depart ment test 'X' is the macaroni wheat flour loaf and 'P' the patent spring wheat flour loaf. He says: 'X seemed to hold its flavor better.' As to color. 'P white, X slight yellow tinge. X better color.' To the question, which is better in texture? 'X.' Con cerning the moisture content he says: May 2. 1903, 3 p. m.. X showed 33.40 per cent, and P 22.S0 per cent.' Which has a better crust in color and taste? 'X.' On the whole, which is the better loaf of the two, and why? X, more normal loaf, better fermentation development. P. crust more like a cracker.' As to the weight of the loaves when received, he says: 'May 1. 1 p. m., P 388.50 grams. X 434.40 grams. Water content, P 42.20 per cent. X 43.60 per cent. Size of loaf. P 14.x20',2 inches, X inches. "This is what another of the four ex perts named decided as to the loaves made in our co-operative test: 'X loaf is perfectly sweet, P loaf Is musty. X has the better flavor, P is the whiter. X is creamy white, which is an indication of high quality. P loaf has the better texture. P has 44.79 per cent water, and X 44.58 per cent. X is decidedly the better in color and taste of crust. X contains 13 per cent or pro teids, and P 14.04 per cent. X appear to have been made from PDring wheat flour of good quality. P is a blend of spring and winter wheat flour. A gray white in the loaf is an indication of in ferior Quality in the flour. X shows that fermentation has not been con tinued long enough to destroy the nutri tious element'. In size X equals 25.10X 15.45 inches; P equals 24.90x15.10 inches. Color of X yellow-whit?, texture fair, flavor good. Color of P gray-white, texture good, flavor musty.' On a sec ond page this person adds the following words: 'A little explanation is due. as 1 started to rill out your blank before thorough investigation. The X loaf has 2 nt" r cent salt and P 2.02 per cent. X has 44. "8 oer cent moisture, and P i j to er cent: so it i3 clear that fer- 1 rrentatiori had not proceeded as far in j x as in P, being retarded by extra salt and a tighter sponge. The oroteias be ing higher in the P lof. seems to spoil my assertion on the blank as to nutri tion. However, conditions beifig equal, I should claim the same preference.- "The subject of a market for this wheat has been widely discussed. It is an interesting fact, and of much im portance in showing the remarkable success attending this phase of the macaroni wheat industry, that no single instance has occurred up to date coming to the knowledge of the department, wherein evidence has been given to the actual lack of a market. Several in stances are known to the writer in which such a condition w'as supposed to exist, but investigation always snows that it is not the lack of a market, ou a lacik of knowledge concerning the mat- I Hi Topeka Proof I' i Mrs. A. Sams, of 516 Van Buren street, says: "For two or three years I had attacks of heavy, bearing down aching through my loins, and when I stooped.it was difficult to straighten. I could not sleep nights, there was a burning heat across my loins, the kidney secretions were highly colored and my limbs were swelled and bloated. I tool, treatment from doctors, and tried numerous remedies, but received little benefit until I procured Doan' s Kidney Pills at Rowley Snow's drug store. I began to improve from the first, and in a short time was cured of all symptoms of the trouble. My health is better now than it has been for two years." ket or methods of marketing In other words, the proper trade channels. Of course, there is some little difficulty at times in selling the wheat, a thing nat urally to be expected in connection with any new crop, and especially witn otiu which has been so maligned and looked upon with such suspicion as this one. "There are now about 21 flour mills handling the macaroni wheat, besides, no doubt, a number of others not known to the department. These mills, running at half capacity, could, during the year, us-? about 4,000.000 bushels of the present crop of macaroni wheat. All but five of these mills lie along the serai-arid belt ot the west, where the macaroni wheat only can be successful. Last year several mills in North Dakota paid No. 1 northern prices for the wheat nearly the year around. The local- market was usually better than the prices in Minneapolis and Dultith. At the end of the season two different mills were still paying No. 1 northern prices, were wanting the wheat and could not get a bushel in the state, according to their own testimony. "The fight against the "Mediterranean wheat, against the fife in the Minneapolis district, and the more bitter fight againsr. the Crimean or Turkey in Kansas and Ne braska, all show that the difficulties in connection with the introduction of this whe are no new thing. Simply another step is now being taken, in which case Russia and the Mediterranean are ahead of us. having been grinding the wheat for many years with success. "The wheat, instead of taking the place of anv of the other standard varieties, simplv fills up a gap long vacated in the semi-arid regions where the millers either could not operate profitably or had is give lip the business, and it supplements the entire wheat crop of the country with a fine lot of good hard wheat, demanded for special purposes.'' IT WAS HARMONIOUS. That la All That Is Told About Po lice Conference. "Whatever action taken at this meet ing was harmonious." This is the official report, full and complete, of the conference held "Wed nesday afternoon by certain city offi cials to determine the future policy of the city administration in regard to making arrests of liquor sellers. Three hours were spent in conference. The mayor, city attorney, chief of police, Police Sergeant Darby and members of the police committee were the only ones present, and each one was willing to admit only one thing, and that was that "the meeting was harmonious." When some of them said "harmoni ous" however, they smiled. It is not likely that the decision reached, what ever it may have been, was satisfactory to everybody, though it may have been harmonious. That a definite plan of action was agreed upon is not denied by the par ties to the mystic meeting, in ract, there was one of the persons in the meeting who rashly asserted that time would show what had been agreed upon. The supposition is that the policy ad vocated by City Attorney Spencer wao selected as the bne which will in the main be followed. The police wiil try to get evidence tgainst the jointisis be fore they commence prosecutions. Mayor Bergundthal stated that one or two new policemen will be appointed. John Hart was given a job on the force beginning today. Samuel T. Howe is on his way to Colorado, and Mayor Bergundthal is in Kansas City, so the programme agreed upon is not likely to be amended ror u day or two, at any rate. WASHBUKN MUSICIANS.

Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 8 "Mr.Camp bell of the board of education came to me in July, after the flood, and asked me if I didn't want the contract for cleaning -the mud out of the basement of the Ai mourdale school building. It was a big job and I agreed to take it if I could get favorable terms. Campbell then told me he had a patent valve for sale. I told him I didn't have the mon ey to pay him for it. He told me that could be easily arranged if I would take the contract for cleaning the school building. I told him I couldn't afford to buy the valve without the contract cculd be made profitable. -He then told me that he would guar antee that the Job would last 30 days, and that 1 would get $33 a day for my work and outfit. It was then agreed that I allow him $15 a day of the $S5 a day which I was to receive from"Th3 board in consideration of his transfer ring to me his patent in the valve. "The contract was made on the basis thajt if it required only one day to clean the building he would get only J15 for his valve, but if it required the full 30 days then he was to receive $450, which he asked in the first place. In other words, he was to receive $15 a day Tor the time required to clean the build ings." The foregoing statement was made to a reporter by D. K. Gilhaus, proprietor of the Gilhaus Manufacturing company, which had the contract for cleaning,the basement of the Armourdale school af ter the June flood. Mr. Gilhaus was asked if he required Campbell to guarantee him 30 days' work. "I had to have such a guarantee," re plied Gilhaus. "if I was expected to pay him $15 a day for the valve, and I couldn't have gotten the contract any other wav Gilhaus was then asked if the work could have been done in less time than thirty days. i "It misrht have been done in less time," replied Gilhaus, "but Campbell had guaranteed the work to last thirty days and I was under no obligation to finish it sooner." Mr. C.i'.baiis said he had done some work of the same kind with the same pumning machinery and men for $3 an hour, which, counting an eight-hour day, would amount to $24. Eight hours a dav was the time usually put in on the .-.orU. At this rate the board of ednca rio;-. rjaid a dav more for its i work than -oi-isate individuals had to pay. Mr. Cilhaus further said he had never tested or seen the valve work before he nun hased it "from CamDbell. He said be had heard of it, but even to this tinte he has never nut it in use or made a test of it. He says he keeps it at his :onc Frank Campbell, member of the board of education in Kansas City.

About August S the board ot eauca- tion paid to Gilhaus $990 for cleaning the basement ot tne Armouraaie scnool.

A splash of yellow light fell from the doorway of the cafe of St. Maurin Into the still, blue darkness of the little quay, where a couple of flickering lamps only served to make the gloom more profound. The moon had not risen, and the pale radiance of the stars showed the long, slow swell of an oily sea. Against the wall of the quay lay a tiny sailing yacht. Further out, mid way between the horns of the harbor, a fishing boat with wide spread sails thai seemed hardly to catch the faint even ing air drifted like a shadow through the night. In the cafe half a dozen men, fishers of this little port, lounged idly oveH their glasses. Old Antolne, the inn keeper, drowsed as usual In his corner chair.' Jean Modestej. his grandson, sat with a torn net across his knees and his black head bent. The rest sipped their coarse wine, and talked to each other spasmodically of the weather or the prospects of a good catch. Suddenly Jean Modeste, looking up from the tear in the net. made with his free hand the sign of the cross. The others looked at him with curious, hall frightened eyes. He was staring through the open doorway at the sea. There was an instant of heavy silence. The glasses ceased to clink, and only old Antoine snored softly in his corner. Jean Modeste's eyes fell again to his net. "The Fisher!" he said, in a low tone of explanation. Kveryone, except the sleeping innkeep er, turned at once to the door. Between the horns of the bay the one wide sail was drifting lazily nearer. Again there was silence in the cafe, an odd, un-. wholesome stillness, heavy with ill omeu and expectation of evil to come. Presently, big Jules Bontemps took a draught of his wine and set the glass down noisily on the table at which he sat. "For my part," he said,- "I don't be lieve in this Fisher there! Every sail you see near S. Maurin, it's the same thing with you all the Fisher! I'm a stranger I thank the good God there's no Fisher in this port of Nice no! Now, will any of you tell me, my friends who this Fisher of yours is, and what he seeks?" The question was addressed generally to the whole company present, but no body answered. Instead, they all looked at Jean Modeste as he bent over his neK "Who he is" he spoke meditatively. "Ah. for that no one can tell you. What he- seeks that's another matter. They do sav" He broke off and glanced again through the open door. The black sail was drifting very slowly toward the land. "Well, what do they say?" Bontemps asked. Impatiently. The young man turned again to his "They say," he answered. In the same low, unwilling tone, "that he fishes for the souls of men." Bontemps stared for a second. Then he flung back his rough black head with a great laugh. "The souls of men! Ah, my faith, that's good! Are you Christians, then. In this harbor of S. Maurin?" "As good as any in the port of Nice," Jean Modeste replied, with a touch of boat. Bontemps laughed again. "No offense, my friend. But come, it's absurd, you know. It's moonshine that's what It is. This Fisher of yours" Jean Modeste cut through his speech, and lifted a finger from his net to point through the door. "There." he said, "is .the. Fisher, Laugh if you please." Bontemps was silent. The shadowy sail had drifted very near. Again still ness fell upon the little group, broken only by the old man's heavy breath ing. "Laugh if you please!" Jean Mo deste said again. "None of us here will laugh with you. What if we can not tell you who the Fisher Is? We Know nis work well enough. Did he not follow my brother's boat, the Marie Blanche, the last voyage ever she took? Never a man came back to tell the tal but the Fisher sailed behind them out of S. Maurin bay. That I saw with these eyes yes!" Bontemps did not answer. A kind of breathlessness had fallen upon the rest- Jean Modeste shifted the net across his knee and spoke once more. "You ask what the Fisher seeks." he said. "Well in the port of Nice he may have other business for what I know. But here, when he sails in the bay, he seeks a man's soul." Agnin there was silence. Through tho doorway ihey couid see the black shad ow of th sail almost touching the quay. The strange fishing boat was very near. The tall mast seemed to touch the stars, the sails were like the wings of an immense bat stretched be tween them and the luminous blue of the clear night sky. In the cafe no one moved or breath ed. Jean Modeste's hands lay idle on his net. Bontemps sat motionless, with his finger3 stretched out to taite up his unfinished glass of wine.' For some reason he did not take It. Hfs eyes, too, were fixed upon the shadowy sail hanging about the quay. Then, silently as it had come, the boat heeled over, and tacked seaward. A light wind caught the huge sail, and swept it before it out into the bay. The still, dark, floating thing became in a moment alive, buoyant, incredibly light and swift, a white flicker of foam tore at her bows as she headed for the sea. The men In the cafe watched with a deep, unacknowledged sense of relief. Still, for a while no one spoke. The little grimy, ill-smelling place was ex traordinarily silent; it seemed as though something within Its walls had ceased it held the emptiness of a room in which a piece of machinery had just run iown. Bontemps was the first to speak. "Well there," he said, drawing a quick breath, "your Fisher's gone. He knows how to sail his ship I'll say that for him, whoever he is. But what did he seek eh? What fish was he after, your Fisher of souls?" No one answered, and Bontemps chuckled a little, quietly. Jean Modeste gathered his net upon his arm, and rose to all his height as he turned from the open door. Then suddenly he stood rigid, and the nets slipped and fell at his feet in a brown tangle.. The others, nervous with the reaction after the tension of that moment when the shadow of the black sail lay across the quay, follow ed the direction of his startled look. There was a quick movement of horror, of surprise, and with the Bhuffling of rough, sea boots upon the-bare floor the lean, blue-shirted seamen rose to their feet. For old Antoine's gray head had fallen forward on his breast his hoarse breathing was still. He sat dead in his comer chair, wits his untouched wine beside him! Without, in the clear blue night, a dark-sailed Jxat went racing to the sea. The Fisher had not fished In vain! Black and White. "Oh, my." murmured the fall over coat, stirring uneasily In the clothes chest, "I certainly did have a good nan "Which you ain't got it now," snick ered the fat moth sitting on a camphor ball, near by.

THE DIIUGUIST'S FHIEND. "My dear boy." said the druggist, as he laid his hand on my shoulder in a fatherly way, "this running a drug store is one of the pleasantest things cf life. There Is nothing to annoy you or put you out. Everything flows on as placidly as a river to the sea, You sometimes fairly long for something to irritate or annoy you. Tou have a lame foot and can't get nbout, so suppose you come in and make yourself com fortable and spend the day with me. I want you to see a particular phase of this profession the callers who drop in to give me greeting and help to make life worth the living." JCext morning at ..8 "o'clock' found rne at the drug store. Two men had calltfd before I got there. One had dropped in to ask the druggist why he didn't open an ice cream parlor in connection with the store, and the other had a dispute with his wife as to whether skunk's oil or goose- grease was the best for a rase of croup, and he want ed it decided. The third man entered with me. IJo, doubt he meant to- get around sooner, but he had been detained somewhere He entered at a pace which was lux uriously lazy, and his whole demeanor proved that he expected a warm wel come. .i "Well, Taylor, whatd'ye thiiik- hap pened.. down jon,.iSqeond Place last nights-he-asked, as.he lifted: the cover of a jar and helped tiimself'to half a dozen slippery-elm torches. "Have no-Idea." "Come out here till I tell you." "I'm bottling cough syrup and must rush It along." 's- "Cough syrup, eh? IThat reminds me that I haven't had a cold for three years. Say, you know Fatty Brown, of course?" "Well?" "He threw a stone at a cat last even- intr and hit one of the White boys In the eye. Ever hear of such a thing in all your life? If he gets out of It for j about a thousand dollars he'll be lucky. i Why don't you come out and talk i awhile? The grocer, wanted me to stop and tell him all about that accident down to' Coney Island, but I felt you would rather be expecting me." "I'm I'm very busy," said the drug gist, but putting lots of excuses In hia, tones. "Oh, you are! Well, so am I. I've got a dozen places to go to this fore noon and don't know which to take first." There were three or four customers in succession, and then a woman entered accompanied by her nurse girl and baby. She looked anxious and nervous, and a the druggist came forward she said: "Doctor, I was thinking of going to Coney Island, but I have been told that babies set sand in their ears down there. Could you tell" "I am not a doctor," modestly replied the druggist. 'Oh! But yon keep a drug store?" i "Yes'm." r "Well, it seems as if you ought to be able to tell wether my baby would get sand In his ears or not. If he should "Then you hold him over your arm, thus, and let it run out again." She looked at him a long minute to see whether he was in earnest or not, and then her face flushed and she walked stifflv out of the store. The druggist was telling me that the wot man had come in almost every day for eight months to talk about that baby, but never to make a purchase, when an old man entered and said: "Say, Doc. I heard a michty good joke down at Frisbie's just now, and I stopped in to tell it tx you. A New Yorker who visited Denver for the first time was going along "I'm very busy, Mr. Wanless." inter rupted the drusgist. "But you like a joke, and this is a ripper. The New Yorker was going alom; "Yes. but excuse me, please." "You don't want to hear it?" "I haven't time today. Come in some other flav "Not by a blamed sight. I haven't got to make a date with a man to tell him a Jofce." Mr. Wanless went put feeling mad and hurt, but another and another bore took his place. Durig the' day they dropped in to the number of fifty. They wanted to tell the news, to ask the news, and to be friend lv. Each and every one expected the druggist to drop everything and give them at least a quarter of an hour of his time. They wanted .to discuss the war. politics, crime, the weather and what not, and they were astonished, put out, and hurt when he refused to gossip and argue. After ten hours of it I got up to hobble home, and the druggist kind ly got mv crutch- and gave me a start, and said: "Thev talk about the human nature to be studied on the street cars and in the crowds, my boy, but when you want straight goods and a yard wide this is the place to find it. I have about 500 bores who call during the week. You haven't seen over forty of 'em today, but maybe you have a dim Idea of how the old thing, works just a glimmering, you know."
