Town of Wallington Several Feet Under Water. Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, Torn Open by Flood. TWO CHILDREN DROWN Flood Extends Oyer a Large Area. Very Delaware River Never Before So High as Now. Paterson, N. J.. Oct. 10. The flood In the Passaic river surpasses the mam moth inundation of March, 190S. The river has overflowed hundreds of acres of streets and hundreds of fami lies have been driven from their nomes, many being rescued from upper win dows in boats. Mayor Hinchliffe today appointed -committee to organize a relief move ment. A dam of timber and sandbags Is being built to keep the swollen river1 above the falls from breaking Its banks and pouring into the eity through a ravine, in which it is feared frightful damage will be done. The gas works are flooded and there will be no gas light tonight. Scores of mills have shut down. The damage in the city in prop erty is already estimated at halt a mil lion dollars. The flooded district comprises Water, East Hoisman. Washington, Bridges, River, Straight, Goodwin, .Patterson ana ,orth Mann streets, the lower part of Hamilton and part of Hamburg avenue. About 200 houses have been flooded. LOSS OF LIFE FEARED. New York, Oct. 10. It is feared there lias been, considerable loss of life in the village of Duttonville, N. J., through the bursting of the West i-'rook dam, Pas saic river in yesterday's flood. The vil lage was in tne path of the Hood which swept down upon the Lown of Passaic. A score of houses were carried with it There were about 25 persons belonging in the village who had not been fully accounted tor at an early hour today and it is thought likely at least ten were drowned. iJuring the night guns were being constantly tired by persons surrounded on the roofs of their houses in the Wal lington flats to attract the attention of rescuer and scores were taken oft in boats. The town of Wallington Is from two to six feet under water and 300 families are homeless. Volunteers in boats res cued many inhabitants from the roofs of their homes. They were cared for in Passaic, where many houses were thiown open to the sufferers. As re ports of the storms havoc accumulate the estimate of the damage in and about Greater New York grow to start ling figures and undoubtedly the total loss will run far jnto the millions. ,An extraordinary occurrence was re ported from Greenwood cemetery, .Brooklyn. As the result of a half dozen land slides on the hill sides of the beau tiful burying ground tombs were open ed and headstones torn from their fast enings. Portions of coffins were scat tered about over a large area and in uncr sections the slide of dirt, weigh ing many tons, had swept away the inc.numents and buried scores of graves no ttmt it may be impossible to again locate them. TRAIN SERVICE ABANDONED. Philadelphia. Oct. 10. The following notice was posted at the Pennsylvania railway station today: "The Pennsylvania Railroad com pany announces that on account of the liigh water at Trenton. N. J., the train service between Philadelphia and New York City will be temporarily aban doned, except to Bristol. Pa." No trains have reached this city over ttie Pennsylvania railroad since midnight last night because of the flood t Trenton, where the tracks of the company are under six feet of water. The flood at that point is caused by the hig'-i water in the Delaware river back ing up the waters in Assanpink creek. The Pennsylvania Railroad company has not had any other reports of dam age along Its lines. At the Delaware breakwater today the wind is still blowing at the rate of 50 miles an hour. The heavy seas are breaking over the telegraph lines, but thus far no disasters to shipping have been reported. DELAWARE TS STILL TUBING. Trenton. N. J.. Oct. 10. A heavy flood which last night caused the suspension of through traffic on the Pennsylvania had subsided somewhat at 30 o'clock tr riay. but not sufficiently to permit the running of trains. There is no tnterret pin e with traffic between New York and this city, but no trains are running be tween New York and Philadelphia. Five trains which should have passed through Trenton last night are stalled here. One of them is the midnight ex press from New York city. Special trains containing cars of the Barnum t Pai'.ev circus are among those stallen. One of the cars of circus train, a Pull man sleeper, was derailed. Ladders had to be used to rescue the passengers. 1 Hiring the night heavy freight trains were used to hold down the bridge-of the railroad company spanning the Assan pink creek. The waters of the creek overflowed the track and rose as high as the fireboxes of the engine. The Trenton Street Railway company, whose power house was flooded by the rising of the creek expects to resume travel bv noon. The Delaware river is still rising and the southern section of the city is in danger of being flooded. Scores of cel lars of houses along the river front Ptreets are flooded and on Fair street the water is up to the first floor of the houses. No damage has been done so far by the rising of the river except the carrying away of timber and other loose material along the overflowed banks. Easton, Pa., Oct. 10. Martin's creek bridge has. gone out. The Easton Del aware river bridge is in danger. The Belvidere bridge is expected to go any minute. The Delaware river continues to rise. There are no records which show higher water In the Delaware than there is today. The rise was so rapid that many people are hemmed in and are being taken out in boats. All morning houses which had been swept from their foundations came down the Delaware. Many of them re mained intact until they struck the bridge connecting Easton and Phillips burg, when they were broken to pieces. All the West Easton industries are in undated and the damage will be great. TWO CHILDREN DROWNED. New York, Oct. 10. Some of the rail ways were still suffering today from the effects of yesterday's flood and washouts. No trains arrived from Philadelphia on the Pennsylvania after midnight owing to a flood at Trenton, and the main line of the Erie railway was still tied up west of Passaic, N. J. Access to Paterson, N. J., by steam railroad was impossible. The Passaic river was over its banks at Newark and factories and coal and lumber yards on the Newark water front were deep in water. On the Morris canal at Bloomfield, N. J., the big aqueduct broke, flooding the north end of the town while the busi ness district was waist deep with water today from a breakage in the bank of the Second river. Two children were, drowned HOTEL UNDERMINED. Philadelphia. Oct. 10. The life saving station at Townsends Inlet reports that the Townsends Inlet hotel was under mined by the high sea this morning and is breaking up. The stoim along the coat prevails with the same fury as was reported yes terday but apparently has not moved from the territory affected by it during the past two days. Property has been damaged to the ex tent of thousands of dollars in this city and vicinity. Scores of buildings were flooded and washouts reported on nearly all railroads. Both the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers are swollen above nor mal, the latter stream causing serious damage to mill property along its banks. It is estimated that 6.000 textile work ers are idle in Manayunk because of the flood. FACTORIES FLOODED. Now Btunswick. N. J., Oct. 10. The flood here is one of the worst in many years. All the factories along the river front were flooded and shut down. BIG Mill CLOSES. Two Thousand Men Lose Their Jobs at Homestead. Homestead, Fa., Oct. 10. Notices have been posted in the 35 and 40 inch mills at the Homestead steel works an nouncing a shutdown of both these big mills for an indefinite period. This is the mc-st Important department of the j Homestead steel works and emuioys over 2.000 men. all of whom are thrown out of employment. No notice had pre viously been given of the contemplated move. The mill uses largely Bessemer steel, but since the Bessemer depart ment was shut down three weeks ago for the winter it has been working on open hearth products. Now the con sumption of both is stopped, and it is believed several of the furnaces will have to close down unless the 30 and 40 inch mills open in a couple of weeks. The notice simply states that the sus pension is for an indefinite period, and the men can get no idea of the length of time which will elapse before they can resuroe work. MORROW INDICTED. CfTarge of Fraudulent Action Against Dockery's Secretary. St. Louis, Oct. 10. The federal grand jury today returned indictments against W. A. Morrow, assistant private secretary to Governor A. M. Dockery and Thomas E. Barrett, formerly mar shal of the St. Louis court of appeals. The indictment charge the defendants with aiding, abetting and conspiring to fraudulently naturalize aliens. It is charged that Morrow and Bar rett in October 1900, procured by fraud naturalization papers for ten alien resi dents of St. Louis county and had them placed in the hands of the foreigners. Morrov has been in the governor's office for ten years, having been origi nally appointed by Governor Stone and retained by Governors Stephens and Docker Barrett will be tried within the next few weeks upon indictments previously found against him in connection with fraudulent naturalization of forvigners in the court of appeals. He is charged in the earlier indictments with issuing papeis to aliens in an irregular man ner. FARMERS ARE WINNING. Orient Road Must Pay Larger Sam ages for Right of Way. Wellington, Kas., Oct. 10. The suits brought against the county commis sioners and the Orient railroad grow ing out of the commissioners' appraise ment of the damage wrought to farms in the northwest part of the county by the railroad building through the land, promise to result in signal vic tories for the farmers. Suit has been brought by some ten or twelve farmers, and the majority of cases were set for trial Friday. General Attorney Eaton, for the road, is here and an effort is being made to compromise all the suits. The case of Chas. Goiton against the road and the cr unty commissioners is j the first one to be settled. In this case tne commissioners appraised the dam ages to his land at $7r0. He considered the sum outrageously small. and brought suit through Ivan D. Rogers. Mr. Rogers settled the case this morn ing, the road agreeing to pay $1,309 damages $350 more than the commis sioners appraised the damage at. Bissau's Body Was Cremated. Buffalo. Oct. 10. The. funeral of Wil son S. Bissell. former postmaster -general, took place yesterday. All the courts in the city adjourned as a mark of re spect. The body was cremated. The list of honorary pall bearers included Grover Cleveland, John G. Carlisle and Hoke Smith. Weather Indications Chicago, Oct. 10. Forecast for Kan sas: Generally fair tonight and steadily rising temperatures: southerly winds. THEY MAY VOTE. Soldiers at Home Given Right to Cast Ballots. They Must Be, Counted in Leav enworth County. REVERSES ITSELF. Tribunal Had Decided They Could Not' Vote. Court Knocks Out All Special Legislation. The veterans in the Soldiers" home at Leavenworth can vote in Leavenworth county. The supreme court so decided today. In so doing it reversed a tormer decision of the supreme court," and frankly admits it, although. It says it hesitates to do so. The cQurt virtually says that the state law permitting the inmates of the home to vote does not conflict with the con stitutional provision which says that persons who go to alms houses or asy lumsdo not thereby acquire residences there for voting purposes. The decision is that the Soldiers home does not come under the class of alms houses or asy lums or eleemosynary institutions De cause the inmates are free to go or come as they please. The decision is rendered in the con test case brought by John M. Cory against Drake D. Spencer over tne ot fice of county treasurer of Leavenwortn county. Counting the vote of the Sol diers' home Cory, the Republican can didate, was elected. The vote was so counted by the canvassing board and Cory was declared elected, but DraKe, the Democratic nominee, contested, and the contest court and the district court both decided that the old soldiers could not vote, thereby giving Drake the of fice. The supreme court reverses this decision and orders that the otlice be given to Cory. It says: "The real question presented is the right of 785 members of the National Soldiers' home situated in Delaware township, Leavenworth county, to vote at such election. Of these votes 762 were cast for Cory and 23 for Spencer. The contest court sustained objection to 741 of the 762 votes cast for Cory on the ground that such members were not residents of said township and siid county. This was also the conclusion of the district court in the trial of the case. "The persons whose votes were thus excluded had not prior to entering the home established a residence in that township. They enter the home direct ly, some from different parts of this state, others from the state of Missouri, and possibly some from other states. It is contended by the plaintiff in error, that one who abandons his residence with the intention of never returning and takes up his residence in the home with the intention of remaining there permanently acquires the right to vote there. "We admit that we approach a dis cussion of this question with some hesi tation, not because we entertain doubts about the correctness qj the conclus ions we have reached, but because of a former decision of this'court upon this precise question, which we are satisfied is wrong. (Lawrence vs. Leidigh, 58 Kan. 5&4.) As a matter of judicial policy it is of times better for the highest tribunal to adhere to a construction once given to a statute, although er roneous, which by lax of time has be come a settled law of the state, than to disturb business conditions and possi bly vested rights, by reversing its own judgment. Generally when such mis takes grow into the law the people may be relied upon to make the proper cor rections by legislative enactments and the injuries consequent upon such changes being made by the court be thus avoided. This remedy, Tiowever, is not efficacious when mistakes have been made in the interpretation of a constitutional provision. "The following are the agreed facts upon which the question is presented: 'That all of said persons at the time they move from their places before coming to the home abandoned their old homes with the intention of making the home their permanent residence." "The logic of the contention of the defendant in error is that the consti tutional provision providing that no person kept ft an alms house or asylum has a riirht to vote under the decision of Lawrence vs. Ledigh. The conclusion reached in that rase that by accepting the benefits of the home he forfeits his right to a vote while he continued to enjoy Its privileges. Con ceding for the purpose of this case that the home 1p an eleemosynary institution, an alms house or other asylum main tained at public expense, does the con stitutional provision, either in direct terms or by implication, deprive per sons while maintained therein from acouiring a voting residence? "This provision of the constitution does not prevent one from acquiring a voting residence if such be his i-urpose. He is as free to change his residence as if he were a recipient of this bountv." UPSETS SPECIAL ACTS. Supreme Court Knocks Out Much Legislation. One of the most important decisions rendered by the supreme court in a good while, in the opinion of the court itself, is that of William Rambo against Joe Larabee and others for a writ of man damus. The effect of the decision will be to make void a large number of special acts of the legislature which are drawn in a general form but are special in their application. for instance, when special legislation is wanted for Kansas City, Kan., the bills are drawn to apply to "cities of the first class having a population of mor" than 50.000 inhabitants." This is general in its form, but it applies to only one city, and as its workings are not uni form throughout the state the court de clares that it is void. There are a large number of cases of this character on the statute books, and there are portions of the new city char ter act for cities of the first class which are framed in the same way to apply to Kansas City only. Just how far-reaching the decision will be cannot be tol l at present, as in some instances the court will have to decide whether a law operates uniformly throughout the state. It is certain, however, that the decis ion will knock out considerable of this class of legislation and it will restrict the legislature in the future. For this reason the members of the supreme court attach great importance to tne de cision. The case in which it is rendered in volves a law of this kind which was passed by the legislature last winter at the instance of Senator Cubbison of Wyandotte counjy. It was entitled, "An act concerning criminal appeals in counties containing more than sixty fivj thousand inhabitants, in certain cases." It provided that where a per son convicted of a crime is too poor to pay for having a transcript of his case made' for appeal to the supresne court, the district court stenographer in the counties specified should make a transcript and the cost should be paid by the county. Soon after the law took effect William Rambo was convicted of some sort of a crime in Wyandotte county, and ap plied for a transcript of record under this new law. Incidentally it might be stated that he was a client of Senator Cubbison. To test the law the district court stenographer refused to make the transcript and Cubbison came to the supreme court for a writ of mandamus to compel him to do so. The stenog rapher was probably more interested in having the court upheld than other wise, and thtre was practically no op position to the application In the su preme court, and the writ was allowed. Then the county attorney and the countv commissioners of Wyandotte county got into the game. They said that the first they knew of the existence of the case was when they read of its decision, and they wanted it reopened, as the county was the real defendant and the operations of the law would cost the county many thousands of dol lars annually. The supreme court re opened the case, with the result that the decision today is exactly the re verse of the first one, and all legisla tion of that character Is declared void. The syllabus of -the decision is as fol lows: "1 The first clause of section it, article of our constitution, which is, 'All laws of a general nature shall have a uniform" operation throughout the state,' is mandatory upon the legisla ture. A law of a general nature which does not have uniform operation throughout the state is unconstitutional and void. "3. If the object to be accomplished by a law is in its nature special, a gen eral or special law may be enacted as in the discretion of the legislature may be thought most applicable. "4. Whether a law is general or spe cial in its nature is a question for the courts, and not for the legislature. "5. An act, to have a uniform opera tion throughout the state,- need not affect every individual, every class, or every community alike. It is compe tent for the legislature to classify and adapt a law general in its nature to a class; but such classification must be a natural and not an arbitrary or ficti tious one, and the operation of such general law must be as general throughout the state as is therein oro vided for. "6. Chapter 390 of the laws of 1903, entitled 'An act concerning criminal appeals in counties containing more than sixty-five thousand inhabitants, in certain cases," is general In its na-; ture, and as it does notj have' a. uniform, operation throughout fthe -state, it M unconstitutional and Void." ;i Santa Fe Wins Now. In the Santa Fe-Orient injunction case from P'mporia. involving the right of the Orient to condemn a right of way across the Santa Fe yards at Emporia, the court reversed a decision of the Lyon county district court, which had given the Orient that right. This is the second time this case has been in the supreme court. The first time the Santa Fe won in the court be low and the Orient appealed and secured a reversal and a new trial. On trie sec ond trial the Orient won in the court below and the Santa Fe appealed ana now gets a reversal. The court holds that one railroad can not condemn for right of way purposes the land of another railroad already in actual and necessary use for railway purposes. "An attempted condemnation by one railway," the court says, "under the general statutes of eminent domain or an entire tract of land belonging to an other railway, a portion of which is already in actual use by the owners anu for all of which a single award or dam ages is made is void as an entirety." It is also held that the court has nw authority to sever from the whole a portion of the tract and allow tne pro ceedings to stand as to the remainder, while invalidating them as to the rest. Brownfield Must Stay. Dr. J. C. Brownfield, who figured in the Jessie Morrison case as a witness for the defendant. and got himself prosecuted for perjury in consequence, will have to stay in the penitentiary. The supreme court today affirms the decision of the court below which sen tenced Brownfield to the state prison for seven -sears. Brownfield testified that he was going by the residence of Olin Castle on the mornin: of the murder and heard iirs. Castle, Jessie Morrison's victim, call ing Miss Morrison in. Judge Aikman, at the request of the county attorney, promptly issued a bench warrant charging Brownfield with perjury, and he was convicted. Supreme Court Decisions.

Russia Makes Extraordinary Preparations for War. IT IS EXPECTED SOON. Draft of Men for the East Cripples Railways. No Farther Concealment About' Czar's Intentions. New Tork, Oct. 10. The Russian fleet left Port Arthur Thursday with sealed orders, according to a Herald dispatch from Che Foo. Its destination Is sup posed to be Korea. New York, Oct. 10. Information from two sources says a Times dispatch from Vienna, is to the effect that Russia is making extraordinary preparations for the corftingency of war with Japan. A well informed personage who was lately at St. Petersburg says the, Rus sian military authorities expect the out break of hostilities within the next few weeks. The whole trans-Caspian terri tory as far as Samarcand is seriously crippled as regards railway traffic by the large drafts of men and material for the far east. The Russian troops in trans-Caspia are alleged to be embit tered in consequence of the manner In which their province is neglected in fa vor of Manchuria and the Pacific coast. New Chwang, Manchuria, Oct. 10. The troops of the Russian garrison, headed by their band, playing national airs, paraded the principal streets of the foreign and Chinese settlement to day, ostentatiously, as though to em phasize the fact that the Russians are still governors of this port. The civil administrator, M. Grosse, today stated that he had received no instructions re garding withdrawals. His assistants freely assert that a permanent occupa tion is intended. In speaking with a consul who called todav to, inquire re garding Russia's intentions,' the official treated the question of evacuation as a Joko. Tiae Chinese taotai of New Chwang recently returned and tried to arrange the i transfer of government, but with out success. The Russian adminis trator requested him to leave, which he. slid A Russian general who went home rn leave expecting to remain in Russia, aas rented a house for the winter and will return with his family. The Russian government is obtaining much valuable real estate in the Chi nese guilds at ridiculously cheap prices by rhclal pressure. All events sup port tne predictions that Russia in tends tor remain here. ..The fc.tuation naturally offers oppor tunity for constant friction between tne consuls and Russian officials. Tne for eign residents under the treaties with China are subject only to the laws of their government administered by theit consuls. If Russian, sovereignty be recognized the foreigners will lose their extra territorial rights and become con-J M .1 1 I i iioiicu it nuasinu was, i i j c jiuafjcui ul which causes great dissatisfaction. The uncertainty regarding the future is handicapping the commercial projects. The merchants complain ttmt their gov ernment appears to forget that New chwang is a fourth part of China in the volume of its foreign trade and that their interests require a speedy settlement 06 the existing anomalous situation which has been prolonged three years and has caused them great loss. The scheme of the maneuvers about Poit Arthur is for the fleet and army to prevent an attempt by a hostile army to make a landing. The maneuvers, occurring on the date that the other government are looking for the evacua tion of Manchuria, are regarded as sig nificant and perhaps intended as an ob ject lesson to Japansese of Russia's pre paredness to meet invasion. The leading Russian newspapers at Port Arthur which Is regarded as the viceroy's organ and at any rate is un der so strict a censorship that it can not antagonize his policy challenges Japa nese to contest Russia's supremacy in Manchuria. Two Japanese representing themselves as merchants, were arrested on the rail way as spies a fortnight ago and are now in prison at Port Arthur. The Japanese consul's request for their release is ignored. COMING- TO A HEAD. Yokohama, Oct. 10. The Russo Japanese negotiations at Tokio do not appear to be progressing rapidly. Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister, up to this pfternoon has not replied to For eign Minister Komura's suggestion that Russia should reconsider her views which are at variance with Japan's. Mr.Komura and PremierKatsuria today conferred with the ministers of war and of the navy. Komura also visited the Marquis Yamagata, chief of the council of field marshals, causing the suggestion in some quarters that the crisis is coming to a head. A petition signed by 40.000 members of the anti-Russian union protesting against the Russian action in Manchu ria and Korea, has been presented to the oremier. RATHER FIGHT THAN YIELD. Berlin, Oct. 10. The Colonial Gazette today published a dispatch from St. Petersburg, as follows: "Russia is not disinclined to accept the modus Vivendi in the Korea ques tioir; but if Manchuria is brought into the controversy by Japan, Russia would rather that the dispute come to war than yield her claims. A nan that Russia is prepared for the -worst is that the officers' families who are preparing to go to Port Arthur have been requested to defer going there be fore 1904, the ostensible reason being that the buildings for their accommo dation are not yet completed. Japan has brought together masses of troops for purposes other than mere maneu vering!" CHRISTIANCI IS OUT. His Resignation Accepted Promptly by General Payne. Washington, Oct. 10. The postmaster general has accepted the resignation of G. A. Christiancy as assistant attorney in the office of the assistant attorney gehetal for the postofnee department.

FIRE AT SOLDIERS' ROME. The "Crank Shop," With Loss of $5,000, Reduced to Ashes. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 10. By fire which broke out, in its interior from a heated stove the old carpenter shop at the Soldiers' home, more commonly known as the "crank shop," was totally destroyed. The destroyed building was known as the "crank shop" because it was devoted to the use of those veterans who want ed to make little things. Each man furnished his own tools and could make whatever he chose. All the tools wore lost in the flames. The structure was a one- story frame affair about 25 by 50 feet. The greatest loss was on the contents of the building. Estimated total loss is $5,000. ARMED MEN IN COURT. Mutineers on Trial to Re Care fully Guarded. Gilbert Mulling and several of the other convicts who made a dash for liberty from the federal prison at Leav enworth in November, 1901, will be tried for the murder of Guard Waldrup at the October term of the United States district court, which begins Mon eiav. Fred Robinson, Turner Barnes, Bob Clark and Gus Parker are likely to be the only ones tried at this term of ourt. Arthur Hewitt, Tom Kating and W. O. Murray, against whom indict ments were issued at the same time, have never been returned to captivity here, although Hewitt is believed to be in the Texas penitentiary for an offense committed since his eseaoe. Indict ments have been issued asainst eigh teen men in all for complicity in the mutiov. There is some uncertainty yet as to what form the prosecution will take. Some of the prisoners are likely to be held upon the charge of assault. Mul lins was one of the most desperate men of the lot. He is nofw conS-ned in jail at Junction City In irons. This sum mer he escaped from there. Three times since then he has sawed himself out of his irons ready for another break for freedom. United States Mar shal Maekey will take no chances upon a. delivery of prisoners during the trial. He has arranged to have a guard of fifteen armed men in the court room during the trial. Sheriff Bert Lucas will be one of these suards. A GREAT PROGRAMME. Major Del mar, Lou Dillon and Prince Alert at Lexington. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 10. A record breaking crowd is here today to attend the Shanklin memorial in honor of the late secretary of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders.' association. The most unique programme ever given on a trot ting track is beinE rendered. A college football game will be played in the in field. Major Delmar. 2:00; Lou Dillon, 2:00, and Prince Alert, 1:57. will go against their own records. Dan Patch may alo start. Some new records are expected. MAY BE BAD MEN. Mr. Asher Arrests Two He Thinks Are on "Wanted' List. Policeman Frank Asher made what may be an important arrest at noon to day when he arrested W. R. Lewis and Frank Heintz, two young men who claim to be from Denver. Asher, who is on night duty, was coming up town after medicine for his wife, and was in citizen's clothes. The two men stopped him, not knowing that he was an offi cer, and tried to sell him a razor. He immediately arrested them for va grancy. Asher was unarmed, but when the men refused to go he put his hand in his hip pocket and the bluff worked. When searched at the station Lewis was found to be a comparative plutocrat. He had over $70 in gold and bills, a bunch of skeleton keys and a deputy sheriff star, which was pinned inside his vest. The search of Heintz unearthed a large Colt's sixshooter with some extra cart ridges, a small amount of money and a handful of Mexican coins. Both men were locked up on the vagrancy charge and they will be investigated. The presence of a number of pennies among the money found on them leads to the suspicion that they may be members of a gang of postofnee robbers. W EATHER IS WARM ER. There Was No Frost in This Vicinity This Horning. The mercury in the government ther mometer did not get low enough last night for frost. The forecaster does not anticipate frost tonight. The forecast sent out to day is "Generally fair tonight and Sun day. Rising temperature." The wind at noon was southeast, blowing 14 miles an hour. The hourly temperatures re corded by the government thermometer today were as follows: 7 o'clock 46:11 o'clock 60 8 o'clock 49il2 o'clock 82 9 o'clock 531 1 o'clock 64 10 o'clock 571 2 o'clock 6a Wind 12 miles south.- FREE BAND CONCERTS. They Will Be Given This Winter in Auditorium by Marshall's. Director John Marshall, of Marshall's band, says that free concerts will be given in the Auditorium this winter. "We shall give some fFee concerts." said Mr. Marshall, "but to help meet the expenses of the band we shall give our annual concert as usual. The band would be very glad to play all free concerts if the money for our expenses was forthcoming from other sources but band expenses are heavy and we can meet them only by money raised from pay concerts."

POLITICAUJOSSIP John Q. Royce Corrects the Boss Busters. Says That lie Isn't Opposed to Bailey. SENATOR SMITH'S TALK Revires the Controrersy About Francis Amendment. v History of That Somewhat Famous Resolution. One of the papers which the anti Bailey organs have listed as against "the machine." which means against Governor Bailey, is the Ph'illipsburg Dispatch, edited by John Q. Royce. In an editorial this week Mr. Royce not only dispels the Idea that he is op posed to Bailey, but he also makes some startling allegations concerning the state printer contest last winter, involving In a peculiar way some of those who have been trying to make capital out of the defeat of E. W. Hoch for state printer, and some of whom are now trying to get Mr. Hoch to run for governor against Bailey. Mr. Royce was one of Hoch's strong est supporters last winter and he li one of the best friends the Marion editor' has. He is also a warm friend of Gomer Davies, which may account for the anti-Bailey contingent reckon ing him as one of them. In his edi torial this week Mr. Royce says: "We believe the pretended friends ot E. W. Hoch. of Marion, are doing that gentleman a great wrong in trying to force him into the gubernatorial race against Governor Bailey, who is now serving his first term. The editor ot this paner tries to be, and believes be is, one of the best friends Ed Hoch has in this state. There is no man in the state we would rather see sovernor, nor one we think would make aulte so good a governor as Ed Hoch. He is a man who would honor the position as the high position would honor him. He is just such a man as the people of the state ought to want in that posi tion, and we sincerely hope he will suc ceed Governor Bailey as the chief ex ecutive of this state, but when he ia governor we want him to be unhamp ered by factional fights and free to ba the governor of the entire people. When he is governor we want him to have the united support of his party and not go into the office with tha hitfei- nnnn. sition of half of his own party. When ne is governor and does the very best he knows how to give the state a .lean, able and dignified administration, we don't want a large element of his party scheming to undermine him by giving a wrons construction to every act, as a certain element of the party is doin with Governor Bailey today. "In our honest judgment Governor Bailey is giving us a clean and an abia administration of affairs and we beilev that before his term is completed tbt great majority of the people of the state will be. talking of his administration as among the brightest pages of Kansa history. "His opponents do not point to a sin gle act of his since he assumed the du ties of the executive office that smack either of dishonesty or corruption of any -kind or character. The only charge they make against him is that he is the heaj of what they call a machine, and the only offense that he is guilty of Is thai he has been able to defeat the element of the party which is finding fault with him, in a general way,, today. "All of the Republicans who are op- 1 posing Bailey today were against him last year at the Wichita convention and their defeat seems to have intensified their bitterness. They say that Bailey's success is only the triumph of an in iquitous ring, or political machine, which the interests of Republicanism in Kansas require shall be destroyed. It was an entirely different machine that triumphed two years before, but the faction of the party that suffered de feat In that fight accepted the situation, remained loyal to the party, and dia not attempt to establish new precedents, but, going systematically about It they strengthened their own lines, brought order out of chaos and achieved a glori ous victory over their successful oppo- nents of two years before. "The campaign of last year was a -perfectly fair fight and Governor Bailey won because his supporters outnumber ed his combined opposition. The fight for United States senator was a per fectly fair one and Senator Long won because he was able to win over to his support a majority of the members of the legislature who came fresh from the people. "The only questionable contest was for the office of state printer. We believe that more than two-thirds of the mem bers of the legislature were personally, favorable to Mr. Hoch to whom tne Re publican party of Kansas owed more than to any other man. Not only wa a. great majority of the legislature for Mr. Hoch. but the people they represented were for him. and several of them closed their political career when they failed to represent .their constituents on this point. "One would think to read the organs of the insurgents that all of those who are pushing Mr. Hoch into an office -which it is clearly not his time to fill, were all conspicuous mourners in the Hoch camp after the disgraceful work of that Monday night caucus, but that is all a mistake. "One would think to read Mr. Bur row's Smith Center Pioneer and his fre quent interviews in the Topeka papers, that he was one of Ed Hoch's warmest friends, but on the contrary he spent three solid weks in Topeka. and used the office of secretary of state, which Mr. Hoch helped to give him, to defeat him, and it Is definitely known that Mr. Burrow was able to control enough members of the legislature for Mr. George A. Clark, to cause the defeat of Mr. Hoch. Joe Burrow used his great bffice, which Is second only to that of governor, to defeat Ed Hoch for an office which he had set his heart on, and now wants to insist on pushing him into an office which he does not want. "Mr. Mackey, the United States mar shal by the grace of Senator Burton, and who Is now insisting upon Mr. Hoch becoming a candidate for gover nor In order to vindicate his position and rebuke the machine for defeating him for state printer last winter, was the manager of George Clark's ram-, paign, and In his eagerness to defeat Hoch for the office he wanted, threat ened a member of the legislature that Continued on Page SlxJ 1

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 10, 1903. LCANSASNEWS. The Attendance at Lawrence Unirersitj Growing. Larger Than In 1902 When There Was No Tuition Law. U KEGROES ENROLLED Among the Pupils Are One Ital ian and One Indian. The Total Number Cp to Date Attending Is 1,235. Lawrence, Kan.. Oct. 10. Despite the tuition law, the attendance at the Kan sas university is larger than at thla time last year when there was no tui tion law. Probably ne other state institution In Kansas can show the same enrollment since the law went into effect. The total enrollment up to date is 1,235, against 1.101 at the same time last year. The Kansas Normal, which had several hun dred more students last year than the university, has fallen below the Law rence shool this fall. Of the 1,233 now enrolled, 14 are negroes, 1 Italian, 1 Japanese and 1 Indian. In the arts school, which is by far the largest di vision of the university, there are 553 enrolled, of which 313 are girls and 240 boys. In the senior class there are 44 tioys and 50 girls, making 94 graduates for this year, with a few more to come In. In the Junior class there are 'more than three girls to every boy. The total number in this class is 99, of which only 34 are boys and 75 girls. The sopho mores run 49 boys and 2 girls, ana the freshman class 91 boys and 96 gins. In 18M there was a maximum enrollment of 691 students. In the last ten years the attendance has increased 87.3 per cent. From 1894 until 1898 the men in creased from 207 to 317. but now they have decreased to 240. This Is in the school or arts alone. Women have in creased in attendance in this branch of the university since 1894 1S1.1 per cent, and the men only 38.1 per cent. The present Junior class, which en tered school in 1301, has 75-per cent more girls than boys. The reason ad vanced for this is the Spanish-American war, which took a number of young meu out of the high, schools and academies. Cheoichiri Hatashlta and Antonio Bern masine are the only foreigners in the liberal arts. The former is registered from Tahara, Japan, and the latter rrom Italy. The school of engineering has shown an increase this year and now has a total enrollment cf 282 students over 184 last year. Of this number there are only two girls.

The annual Troy fox chase or wolf drive took place Saturday night and while it was lots of fun the two foxes scared up got to their holes before the dogs got to them. About 60 took part in the hunt. At least a score of them were women and girls dressed in every costume designed for strenuous walking, from short skirts to bloomers. The party, accompanied by a pack of 56 dogs, drove in wagons first to Charley Brown's farm east of town. Here the dogs were divided into two packs, one going on east and the other south to the Big spring. Soon each pax;k had a fox to follow. The chase lasted an hour or more but the foxes got to cover before the dosa reached them. The party got back before midnight. Troy Chief. Saw It In Borrowed Paper.

It is only a very few years ago that it was considered bad taste for women in English society to Wear jewelry in the day time. Now it is fashionable to wear not only diamonds and ocarls with afternoon costumes, but also a variHty of other gems. The craze for barbaric jewelry was perhaps account able for this depature in the first in stance. At any rate, at any society function nowadays a full-dress day costume is not complete without a diamond chain or pearl collar, while brooches, pend ants and trinkets of turquoise, sap phires, rubies or emeralds in conjunc tion with the dainty jeweled watch and popular paste or turquoise buttons are always to be seen. Even for morning war the simrjle skirt has diamond or pearl links and studs. Jeweled hatDins are popular wedding, gifts. Jeweled waist belts and hanging purses are also much in vogue, while the long picture earrings (which have been in fashion barely one season) are often seen in the daytime as well as at evening parties. Turquoises of every conceivable size and irregularity and pearls of all shapes have been the fashion .for some time oast. A new stone for day wear is the New Zealand stone, which, as an adjunct to the barbaric pearl so much in favor, is charming: wear. Apart from its lovely coloring a deli cate, transparent shade of green it is supposed to be a "luckv" stone as well, and this to the superstitious-minded is a welcome change from the also "lucky" but rather overdone turquoise. Another new stone is of the loveliest rose-pink tint, transparent, yet with the cloudy softness of the opal. This stone, which forms a becoming finish to an afterroon costume, is worn as necklace, pendant, brooch or earrings, and is as yet but little known to the fashionable world. London Express. The Washington Way. The reports from Washington indicate that scorchers of all varieties tn that city have decided to obey the highway speed law since the adoption by the bi cycle squad of stop watches or speed ometers. It is claimed that these little instruments, which have been thorough ly tested by the Washington police authorities, register to within a frac tion of a second the time required by a vehicle to cover a given distance. Knowing this, the scorchers have re formed. This method of discouraging speed lawlessness is vastly preferable to that recently adopted in some parts of the west. In Wisconsin, for example, many of the farmers, who are annoved by whizzing cycles and motor cars car ry double-barreled guns loaded heavily with buckshot. When one of the "road hogs," as they call" them, heaves in sight, the gunner conceals himself be hind a fence or a tree and at the right moment proceeds to pepper the flying vehicle with the contents of his weapon. The idea is not to puncture the driver, but rather the tire of his machine and thus effectively cripple it. New York un. A Guaranteed Cure for Files. Itching, blind, bleeding or protruding piles.

THE RESULT WAS 6 TO 0 Both Teams Played a Defensive Wame. Great A Large Crowd Was Out and Cbeered the Players. Dallas, Tex.. Oct. 10. The Indians from the Haskell school at Lawrence, Kan., put another scalp at their belt Friday afternoon by taking the game from the Texas university eleven at the state fair grounds. The score was 6 to 0. Fallis, the quarter of the Indians, got a lucky fluke chance at a time when everybody believed the game was going to end In a tie of nothing to nothing, and making the best of the situation, secured the only score to the credit of the contest. The game started at 4 o'clock, in the presence of 3,000 specta tors. Texas kicked off, but the Indians did not profit by the play. A siege of back and forth kicking characterized Nearly the entire twenty-five minutes devoted to the first half. Both teams put up Lstrong defensive play. The friends of the Texans declare it was the best de fensive game the university men nave ever played. Practically no distance had been gained by either side when the first half was over, although just as time was up the Indians were making a good place kick for goal. After about ten minutes of the twenty allowed for the second half had expired, the ball was kicked to Texas. Frazler atempted to block the ball, and In fact did block it, but it took an erratic glance from the Texas man- to a side line. Fallis got possession of the pigskin at the twenty-yard line, easily slipping through the Texas ranks, made a touch down and kicked an easy goal. Score. Haskell, 6; Texas. 0. The remainder of the game was strongly defensive by each ttam. The contest ended with the ball in Texas' possession on the Indian's thirty-yard line. The line up follows: Texas. Position. Haskell.

TO CLOSE THE BALL PARK Grounds of the Gotham Anerican League Threatened. New York, Oct. 10. Another attempt was made yesterday to have the grounds of the New York American league team destroyed by opening streets through the property. At a meeting in the city hall of the Wadh gton Heights local board of improve ment, at which borough President Can tor presided, a petition of the property owners in the neighborhood who want the street opened, was presented. Last spring an ipeai was made to the board to have this done, but it was de feated. Former Assistant District Attorney David Welsh, who is counsel for the property owners, obtained a reopening of the matter. Mr. Welsh, in his re marks, said he had thirty or forty affi davits in his possession to show that the park during the last season was a nuisance. He said one of hi clients is Mrs. J. Hood Wright, whose hus band founded a hospital on Washington Heights, and who would testify to the disorderly incidents she saw. After a conference among President Cantor and Aid. Goodman, Myers and Florence, President Cantor announced that it was decided to adjourn the hear ing one week. President Gordon of the New York American says he and his partners are prepared to prove there is no truth in the assertion of Welsh that there 'was disorderly conduct during the season. Epidemic of Boils at Purdue. Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 10. Osborne. Purdue's speedy captain, may be out of the game against Chicago. At pres ent he has a carbuncle on his arm, and the prospects -of his playing today are slim. His absence from the game will weaken lurdue considerablv. as he was expected to offset the playing of Eckersall. In case he is unable to play his place will be taken by Johnson, who is now running the team. Secret prac tice still continues, and it is impossible to get a good line on the team, but it is known Cutts is worried considerably from an epidemic of boils among the players. New Player at Minnesota. Minneapolis, Minn.. Oct. 10. The Minnesota football squad has received a strong addition in A. McDougall. a fovmer player of the Andover academy team, and one of the best full backs in the east last year. Coach Williams has had difficulty in finding a capable man for the full back position. They Want Selee's Players. Chicago, Oct. 10. Manager Selee's baseball stars are in imminent danger of a general raid by the eastern clubs, who are determined to win the 1904 pennant. McGraw is said to have offered $15,000 for Pitcher Ames, and it is said Pittsburg and New York are both after Johnny Kling, the clever catcher. Selee thinks very well of Mc Lean, whom he secured from the Bos ton team, and has been warned that What Shall We Have for Dessert? This question arises in the family every day. Let us answer it to-day. Try a delicious and healthful dessert. Pre pared in two minutes. No boiling! no baking! add boiling water and set to eooL Flavors: Lemon, Orange, Rasp berry and Strawberry. Get a package at your grocers to-day. 10 cts. other managers with more money at their disposal also thfnk highly of the player. It is also said that McGraw. with John T. Brush's bank account back of him, is casting envious eyes upon Tinker and Evans. Then Weimer, Taylor, Otto Williams and Morairity are supposed to be sought by the east. Selee greatly fears that Pittsburg and New York may succeed in whisking away some of his strongest meri, but he continues to declare that he will be gin the season with all his players in place. However, it is a question if the men will stand out against the blan dishments of other managers with long purees. SO NOT FEEL ENCOURAGED. Tale Coaches Fear the Games With Princeton and Harvard. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 10.-Yale's foot ball coaches today let it be known among the candidates that the big score agaUwt Wesleyan does not indicate anything en couraging, when the approaching games with Princeton and Harvard are also in the calculation. They fear Princeton more than Harvard this year, and say they are not satisfied that the Blue has as much as an even chance to win either of those games. Acting on that theory, they put the squad through a long prac tice, in which stress was laid on defense against the scrubs' attack. In spite of a stubborn fight, the 'varsltv scored twice. Smith and Scott worked at center after Roorback went out, the great problem still being to bolster up the mid dle of the rush line. McMahon, formerly a Bucknell, .has joined the squad. There Is talk of trying him as a guard or at full back. Krug Andrews, a 200-pound substi tute guard, of two years ago, also donned a uniform and played at guard awhile. Thus far the schedule of games has proved unsatisfactory, for no visiting eleven has given Yale as good practice an the scrubs do every day. Soper, a hair back, who has dash and spirit, was tried at quarter back, as possible understudy for Rockwell. SULLIVAN NAMED FOB POST. To Brooklyn Tommy Is Tendered In tructorship at Missouri Club. St. Louis, Oct. 10.---To Brooklyn Tom my Sullivan is to be tendered the post of boxing instructor at the Missouri Athletic club, according to Secretary Genslinger, several members of the in stitution having strongly recommended the little fighter.

May N ot Play at Milwaukee. Madison. Wis.. Oct. 10. There is' a probability that, the football game be tween Minnesota and Wisconsin will not be played in Milwaukee, as sched uled, Thanksgiving day, but will be transferred to Madison. The reason for the chanee is that it would be a viola tion of the conference rule, which pro vides that all games between univer sities must be played on grounds which are owned or controlled by either in stitution. Tripp Joins Yale Squad. New Haven; Conn., Oct. 10. Tripp, the former University of Chicago guard, joined the Yale eleven, being given a place on the second team.

The last scrimmage work before the -Grinnell game- has been held, and was .as fast and snappy as that of the two previous evenings. The .first team had the ball most of the time and confined its plays mostly to line bucks. Coach Mc-ean does not seem to be working toward making a big score against Grinnell, as he has been changing the men around considerablv and hence team work will not be as fast as it would have haen had he keot one set of men at work in their regular positions. He seems con fident, however, of defeating Grinnell by a good score, and this confidence is shared by all who have watched the Tigers' 'work. They are now a great deal better than when they met Rolla, The defense work is ne. ON LEXINGTON TRACKS. Caspian Won Transylvania Stakes in Three Heats. Lexington, Ky., Oct, 10. Six thou sand people braved the biting west wind to see Caspian, an Ohio horse and second favorite in the betting, win the fifteenth Transylvania, $6,000. The best time was 2:09. Hawthorne, the favorite in last year's pooling, made a poor showing. The weather seemed to be against her. Caspian is the horse of which it had been said that he could not go more than two heats, but he went three Fri day afternoon and won the first and third with ease. Kent, which took sec ond money, was purchased from Dick Donley,- of Wichita, Kan., by E. E. Smathers for $4,300 just before the sec ond heat and made a strong bid for first place in this heat. The feature of the day outside of the Transylvania was the new world's rec ord, made by Dan R., for a pacer, a mile to a wagon. Dan R. went the sec ond heat in 2:04. There were but two entries for the free-for-all pace for amateur drivers. C. K. G. Billings drove Greenline and H. K. Devereux drove Dan R. in the first heat. In the first heat Dan R. broke before reaching the quarter pole and Green line forged ahead, a hundred yards. At the quarter stretch Dan R- made up good distance, but was still trailing three lengths behind. A hundred yards from the wire he caught Greenline.and, in a driving finish, beat him out by a neck in 2:15, going the last quarter in 29 seconds. In the next heat Dan R. led from start to finish and went the mile in 2:04, beating his competi tor' by several lengths. Morrie won the 2:13 class trotting purse, $1,000, in three heats, allowing one heat to go to the favorite. Grey Gem. Great Spirit took the 2:25 class trotting purse, $1,000, in straight heats. Dan R. clipped a full second off Edith W.'sr record to wagon of 2:05, made at Memphis last October. Time by quarters was: Quarter, 0:32; half, 1:04: three-quarters, 1:34; mile. 2:04.

Still more changes are occurring in the lineup of the Cornell football team. The coaches seem unable to deinitely nick men for at least half of the positions. Van Fleet, the big freshman, was tried at full back, and played creditably. Law rence was back at left end, while Forgy was in Tourison's place at right end. Lull was in at left guard in place of Wilder, while Costello was back in his old position at right tackle. McAllister and Coffin were not out. Under Brew ster's generalship the team worked well and made three touchdowns against the scrubs. Minnesoto-Ames Game. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 10. Consider able knee-shaking is going on at the university ever the prospects of today's game with Ames. Reports received from Iowa say that the. team is strong and fast, and although Minnesota has been making a good showing in all practice games, none of the opposing teams have been strong and when the varsity meets a strong team another tale may be told. While many rooters .are confident of winning there are some who feel discouraged and fear defeat. Dr. .Williams thinks his team will win, but he. is taking no chances. National 1 American O. Chicago.

Are Your Eyes Patty? We are the Sola Agents for the Only Thing Known That Cures the Kidney Diseases that Cause Dropsy, viz: Fulton's Compound. It is" now well known that dropsy is not in Itself a disease but is commonly a symptom of Eright's Disease or Diabetes. Hence, up to the discovery of the Fulton Compounds, dropsy was Incurable. It is now, however, curable in nearly nine tenths of all cases. Here is an interesting recovery, to which we refer by permission. Mrs. Peter Goyheneix of 28 Fillmore street, San Francisco, became alarmingly dropsical. Her physician had finally to tap her every few days. She was tapped nearty forty time and grew worse from day to day. The physician finally told her husband tbat she had Bright 's Disease of the Kidneys, that it was in an ad vanced chronic state snd beyond medical aid. Her heart also gave her the usual trouble and she was in such a serious condition the relatives were sent for. They put her on Fulton's Com pound. It stayed on her stomach, the first thing that had done so for a week. The second week the dropsy declined a little and the Im provement was then gradual until her recovery was complete. This case was examined into by representatives of the San Francisco Star and the Overland Monthly, and the genuineness of the case and the recovery were fully attested in their columns. Mrs. Thomas Christol of 426 Twenty-seventh street, San Francisco, was also swollen with dropsy, as a result of chronic Bright 's Disease, to more than seventy-five pounds beyond her normal weight, and had to be moved ia sheets and was close to death's door although she had four physicians. 6he was put on the Fulton Compounds. Three weeks showed improvement and in six months she was well, and permits this reference.

X. TJ. VS. NORMALS TODAY. Lswrence Team Should Win Without Trouble.. Lawrence, Kas., Oct, 10. The Jar hawkers will play their third game this afternoon against the State Normal team. It should be a fairly good game, although the Kansans ought to win if they play the ball that their practice indicates they are capable of playing. The team is in condition to play a fast er game than on last Saturday, and it is expected that the men will go in harder. The signal practice last evening was Quite satisfactory. There were a good many balks and fumbles, but the team steadied down and did much batter work toward the last. There will be no important changes in the line-up for todav. The rooting of the Kansas supporters has never been what it should be, and this afternoon a mass meeting was held and an attempt will be made to put the rooting- on some systematic basis. Good rooting is of great value to a team, but poor rooting is not much better than none at all. The students will have a yell leader who will know when to yell and what yell to give. The students will s.oon learn to follow the leader, and then the rooting will do some good. The Jayhawkers will line up as fol lows this afternoon: Fleischman and Woodford Left end Acker man and Chapel Left tackle Bruner Left guard Michaelson Center Donald Right guard H. Allen Right tackle Hicks Right end Pooler and Wilson Quarterback Cooke and Griggs Right halfback Rice and Ise Left halfback Brumage (captain) Fallback EMPORIA IN SHAPE, r Emporia, Kas.. Oct, 10. Today a trainload of Emporia people will go up to Ijawrence to see the Normal teachers play the Jayhawkers. The men who have been limping around since the game with St. Marys have taken off their court plaster and band ages, and Cof.ch Botsford says his team is as fit as a fiddle. There is intense rivalry between from two to four men for every position on the Normal team, and the scrimmage work for the past week has been unusually hard, but the best men on the team have escaped in jury and McFarlane and Flnklea, who were out of the game last Saturday, will be in the lineua. There is an im pression among several out-of-town schools that the Normal team is slow. To disprove this, Captain McFarlane, the left halfback, yesterday sprinted 100 yards in his uniform in ten seconds. Although not a phenomenally fast man, Hyndman, the 17-year-old fullback, is a wonder of the Normal team. Hynd man weighs 210 pounds, and when he gets started w ith the pigskin an ordi nary piavcr does not tiotlceablv impede his progress. He gained ground every time he carried tha ball last Saturday. Emporia's Team Improved. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 10. Coach Nichol has added four men to the Emporia col lege team, which brings the weight of the team up several pounds. The new men are: Edgar Forde, the 174-pound right tackle of last year's team; Maine, a 175-pound man from Ottawa ;and Tom Louthen and Chris Assmussen. Louthen is an agile youth, weighing 175 pounds, and Assmussen is a six foot Swede and weighs 180 pounds stripped. He runs low and is not easy to stop. With these new men the three holes in the college line at both ends and one of the guards can be effectually stopped up. The ad dition of these men has caused a com plete change in the lineup for today's game with Washburn. Captain Eidson and Cy Emery, who have been back of the line, will be put on the ends. Ed Everett, who has been playing center, will go back of the line and his position will be filled by Tom Xmar, who has been playing tackle. Guy Lamar, who has also been playing tackle, will ad vance to fullback. One of the hew menv either Louthen or Maine will also play back and the other three new men will go in the line. Racing at Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 10. Giving away weight to everything opposed to him, Proceeds made a show of his field in the mile ana seventy yards handicap at Worth. He allowed C. B. Campbell to lead to the back stretch. Then the 2-year-old tooK command, led by three lengths turning for home, and from there to the wire only breezed, winning in a canter with two lengths to spare. Byways easily held C. B. Campbell safe for place, while the others were beaten off. The track was still deep and holding. The weath er was clear and cool. At the Horse Sale. New York, Oct. 10. A mixed sale of race horses was held in the paddock at Morris Park and high prices ruled. The feature of the sale was the auction of Stalwart, winner of the Champagne stakes. After some spirited bidding, E. R. Thomas secured him for $12,000. Re liance, b. c. (2), by Imn. Meddler-Faithful, R. L. Rosem, $3,600. River Pirate, ch. c. (3), by Imp.

The track at HLot ris park was deep in mud owing to the heavy rain. Three favorites won. The Fordham handicap, seven furlongs went to Young Henry, with the favorite. Grenade, second. Jocund, 7 to 10 favor ite, finished first in the fourth race at one mile for 2-year-olds, but was dis qualified for fouling Ormonde's Right in the Btretch. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, Oct. 10. Josie F., backed from 10 to 4 to 1. won the feature at the fair grounds at a mile and three-sixteenths. Dan McKenna was second, half a length in front of Taby Tosa. Josie F. has always been considered a very cheap selling plater, and Jier vlc troy over such a field of horses la an amazing performance. Stories Revived AtTout Ryan. New York, Oct. 10. There was a re port today that John J. Ryan, the get-rich-quick man, had been warned on the eastern turf by the stewards to the Jockey club- for complicity in an alleg ed "ringirg" case at Fort Erie two yes-.s ago. When George F. Considine, who is Ryan's bookmaker in the local bettin-J ring, was asked about the matter, he became indignant, and declared that the story was a fabrication. "Ryan will be back here Jn a couple of days,' said Considine, "ard will occupy the old stand." Turfmen insist, however, that tf Ryan comes back he will be quietly informed that he is not wanted.

WORK FOB CORONER. A. H. Kohn Dies Inder Pecu liar Circumstances in Frisco. San Francisco, Oct. 10. Abraham H. Kohn, son of the late Henry A. Kohn, a millionaire banker and merchant of Chicago, has just died here under al leged suspicious circumstances and the "coroner has ordered a rigid investigation of the case. Kohn who was 32 years old, arrived here from the east Monday last accom panied by a young woman, who was registered with him at the Palace as his wife. Thursday evening he was ta ken to a sanitarium, suffering from nervous prostration, the result of an at tempt to abstain from the use of mor phine, to which, it is said, he was ad dicted. At midnight he was found dead in bed beside his wife. Every effort since then has been made to keep the death and the facts concerning it a se cret, and while the coroner was imme diately notified of the occurrence -with the request that it be not made a mat ter of public record until late last night, the physicians and sanitarium people insisted that Kohn was alive and get ting along nicely. During the interval which lapsed be tween the death of Kohn and the ad mission of his demise, the news had been wired east to his relatives from whom instructions were at once receiv ed to have the body embalmed and sent en there in care of his -valet. He ex pected to leave for the east today with the remains but the coroner has order ed the body held. In an interview the widow said she had been secretly married to Kohn at Beulah, Wis., on May 17. last, that her maiden name was Edith Webb, and that her home was in Kentucky. H?r hurried mission east, she said, was to communicate' with her husband's rela tives. All that has been obtained in the way of information so far from the physician who attended Kohn toward the last is to the effect that his death was due to natural causes. Yost's Men in Good Form.

Will Be Supported by Santa Fe Shopmen. REDUCE LIVING COST. Money Boing Subscribed to Start the Enterprise. Not, Backed by Any of 'the Unions. Albuquerque, N. M., Oct. 10. The Democrat says: A movement is on foot among the employes of the Santa Fe shops to open a co-operative general store in Albuquerque for the furnishing of groceries and supplies to the rail road men. The movement has not yet taken definite shape, but it has been generally discussed among the men and as nearly as can be learned the senti ment among the men is strongly in fa vor of the plan. The plan as outlined by employes of the Santa Fe, is that of other department stores which have been opened on the co-operative plan in towns along the Santa Fe in Kansas and in a number of towns in Colorado. This is simply that the men subscribe each so much in the stock of the insti tution, secure a manager and purchase their goods at cost plus a small per cent in profit which will go to pay the expense of running the store. "The plan has not assumed definite shape as yet," said a well known shop employe last night, "but it is being discussed among the men and it looks now as if it might be a go. I under stand" that several thousand dollars have been subscribed looking to the founding of the store. The movement is general and will include all branches at the shops. It is in no sense a union movement and no one union is behind it. "Our idea is that we can reduce the cost of living by this plan. We will pay the same rates in tariffs to the railroad company from Chicago or Kan sas City or Denver that are paid by Albuquerque merchants and the store will be on the same commercial basis on every point except that we believe the goods can be purchased from the co operative store at a much lower rate than we are paying now. The move ment is simply one in which the men are trying to find a way to reduce the cost of living." "I do not know how far the co-operative movement has gone," said anoth er Santa Fe employe last night. "But I know that such a movement is under way. I know that it is being discussed and that many of the men favor the idea. I do not know who is leading the movement." TOOK $182 WITH HIM. Frisco Clerk at Galena Absconds "With Cash. "I may show up with $122 sometime.'" The above was found written on a sheet of paper, at the Galena passen ger station of the Frisco railroad, yes terday morning, left it is supposed, by James M. Connors, night telegraph op erator and ticket clerk for that com pany, who is missing. When exam ined the money drawer was found to be short the amount stated in the note. James Connors formerly lived in Wichita. Several years ago he was in the employ of the Missouri Pacific, a short time as switchman. He also had a run on several of the different roads through Wichita as brakeman et -different times. About two months ago he is said to have spent several days in the city visiting with friends. The telegraph operators of the var ious railroads here each received a notice last evening to keep a sharp lookout for Connors. He is described in the telegrams as being a man about 30 years of age, is usually smooth shaven and weighs about 200 pounds. At Galena Connors secured the posi tion of night ticket clerk and telegraph operator for the Frisco just four days atro now. After working three days, some time Monday night he disappear ed, as also did the $122 from the money drawer. The inscription given above, scrib bled on an ordinary sheet of paper, is the only explanation of Connor's sud den disappearance. It is considered sufficient, however, by the railroad company, coupled with the fact that the amount mentioned in the note is also missing, and that the .handwriting on the sheet is undoubtedly that of Connors. James Connors is supposed to have relatives in this city. No one could be found last night, however, who claimed any relationship with the missing man and it is thought that the relatives who formerly lived here have moved away. It is known that at one time a brother of Connors lived in this city for several years, at about the same time James Connors lived here. TEXAS STRIKES BACK.

PACIFIC EXPRESS EMPLOYES May Slake a Concerted Demand for Increase in Pay. St. Louis. Oct. 10. Employes of the Pacific Express company are consider ing the advisability of making demands upon the company for shorter hours ami more pay. For several weeks the move ment, whioh is said to represent a mem bership of ti.noo express company em ployes, has been gaining force. The Pacific Express company, which oper ates over thousands of miles of road in the west and southwest, including all the Gould lines, the L'nion Pacific and other systems, is said to have been se lected as a starter, and if the move ment is successful there, it will be triol with other companies. A member of the local brotherhood of railway expressmen said "yesterday that a committee of Pacific expressmen would probably call upon the company's principal officers in this city next week, and state their grievances. If the com pany should refuse to consider them, it was said that the matter would then be presented to the general officers of the brotherhood. The latter, though prac tically a new organization, is said to be growing rapidly. It was-reported yesterday that a con ference was on between the Pacific Ex press company's officials and officers of the brotherhood, but the report was de nied. The general offices of the Pacific Ex press company are in the Equitable building in this city. The president, Jas. Eggleston, is not in the city. General Superintendent Frederick C. Gentsch, through his chief clerk, stated that the employes of the company had presented no grievances to the company. If they were nursing grievances, he said, he did not know what they were. The headquarters of the National Brotherhood of Railway Expressmen are in Chicago. CASSATT IN CHICAGO. Pennsylvania Hay Build a $10,000, 000 Depot There. The Chicago Chronicle says: Presi dent A. J. Cassatt of the Pennsylvania railroad visited Chicago yesterday and as a result of his short stay in the city it is probable that the terminal facili ties furnished the roads entering the Union station will be improved in the near future. Mr. Cassatt was accom panied by Vice Presidents James Mc Crea, Joseph Wood, J. J. Turner and H. B. Tavlor End by other officers and five c'irectois of the company. While it was announced that the trip was made for the purpose of inspecting the Pennsylvania between Chicago and Pittsburg, the question of improved terminal facilities for Chicago occupied most of the time of the officials. It has been understood for some time past that a general plan for the con templated improvements in Chicago was submitted some time ago and the officials of the Pennsylvania system are" said to have given their approval. The plan comprehends the erection of a new depot at a cost of about $10,000,- 000, with separate passenger and freight terminals. The present site will be used for the new deDOt and additional yards and Ireight buildings will be erected near Eighteenth street. It is likelv that the work will be begun when the track elevation plans of the Pennsylvania are put into effect. Mr. Cassatt stated yesterday that his visit to Chicago was simply one of in spection and that the vice presidents and directors had been invited to par ticipate in the journey in order to familiarize themselves with the condi tion of the company's tracks and equip ment in the west. The party arrived in Chicago from Cleveland early yester day morning on a special train, and while President Cassatt was taken over the road in the vicinity of Chicago the directors were driven through the down town streets in carriages. The train left at noon for Pittsburg. MOUNTAIN DYKE BROKE. Cause of Santa Fe Washouts in Ari zona Was Cloudburst. San Bernardino, Cal., Oct-.10. Details of the flood which washed out the Santa Fe track in Arizona, delaying the over lands, have reached this city. The dam age occurred near Kingman, where the rain came down in torrents. A small dvke. which had been built in the mountains for the protection of the railroads, held the water in check for several hours. The rain then ceased for a tirne, wften it was followed by one of the most violent cloud bursts which has ever 'occurred in that section of the country:'. The ifrail dyke, which had formed a protection to the tracks, could not stand the pressure brought against it and broke, letting a wall of water 10 feet high wash owr the roadbed. Five miles of trackage was car ried along with the flood, causing the de lay to both west and eastbound over lands. THEY NEEDED MAGINNIS. Santa Fe Could Not Keep Out of Grafters' Clutches. Los Angeles, Oct. 10. A. P. Maginnis, whose appointment as land tax and claim agent of the Santa Fe, with offi ces in this city, was announced last week, assumed his duties today. Maginnis returns to the railroad after an absence -of three years, previous to which he had been in the company's employ nearly 20 years. He resigned in order to accept the field manage ment of E. L. Doheny's Mexican Petro leum company at a larger salary. As the Santa Fe land, tax and claim agent, he had obtained for the company con cessions that at times were deemed to be out of reason, at the city hall in Los Angeles, as well as in the state capitol of Sacramento.

After the birth of my last child I felt weak and disabled. I tried several physicians with little relief, while Peruna gave me the greatest possible benefit. It seemed to build up my entire body, drive out pain and to vitalize me through and through. I am now In splendid health, regular, with the best appetite in the world and in the full enjoyment of lire. Work seems easy and nothing troubles or worries me as it did when I was in poor health. I shall use my influence with my friends who are sick to use Peruna as 1 know I do them a favor. It is the best medicine I know of to cure the ills of women." Mrs. Mary rlerweck.

ThWa pre several of them, verv delicate and very subject to catarrh. Few women eseare entirely catarrh of these organs.

Santa Fe Ticket Agent Makes It Ex pensive for Jokers. The other day Deputy Sheriff Hansen of Barstow received a telegram from San Francisco, signed "Chief of Police." directing him to arrest one J. B. Duffy, who was a passenger'on an east bound train, the charge against him being abduction of a small girl. He w as taken from the train and shown the t?legram. The presence of Mrs. Duff y, his new:y wedded bride, who is small of stamrt-, seems to have cinched the charge. It apepared later that the man's railroad friends in San Francisco sought to per petrate a joke on him, as he and the bride had eluded them, in their efforts to give them a royal send off after the wedding, and so sent out the telegram which caused the trouble. At Albu querque the Citizen reporter intervieweo.

I term that covers all cases of catarrh of the pelvic organs. There is no cure equal in promptness and permanency to a short course of Peruna. Peruna does not relieve these cases by temporarily mitigating some symptom, but by a removal of the cause. Many a woman can testify that a local treat ment does not oermanently cure. A large multitude of women are constant ly going from doctor to doctor to re ceive local treatment with little or no renlt. In Peruna these women find a prompt and permanent cure. Thousands upon ing rate the San Francisco jokers wired to Bristow directing the "agent to as sume all responsibility and let Duffy and wife proceed." It cost the San Francisco jokers an immense sum for telegrams. Duffy is city ticket agent for the Santa Fe. REBUILDING THE ROAD. Bock Island Overlands Will Reach Topeka from the North.

I shall take great pleasure ia recommending it to my professional friends." Zelma Rawlston. Peruna seems so admirably adapted to catarrhal troubles of women that it rarerly fails to instantly relieve and promptly cur. No sooner does a woman begin to take Peruna than she feels that, a cure is in sight. Sometimes it is necessary to take it for weeks and even months, but the good effect becomes apparent at once and gradually continues until a cure is perfected. Noted Women Who Use Pe-ru-na.
