"While the Hearst people failed to secure instructions at the Democratic state convention to day, Mr. Hearst will nevertheless have a good representation on the delega tion, having at least 8 of the 20 dele gates. It was 10:50 before Chairman Farrel ly called the convention to order, near ly an hour late. Invocation was offer ed by Rev. J. D. Ritchey of Wichita. The main floor of the auditorium was filled. There were but few people in the gallery. i CLAUD DUVAL. C'liniriiitm of Convention. Chairman Farrelly reported the rec ommendation o the state committee that Duval be temporary chairman. On question of adoption of recommen dation there was a considerable nega tive vote but Farrelly ruled it carried. Terms of Compromise. The Hearst people will be allowed J. G. Johnson and H. P. Farrelly as dele gates at large and will not fight A. M. Jackson in the Third district. The Seventh district will be represented by Hearst delegates. Anti-Hearst men say the national delegation will stand 15 against Hearst and 5 for him. A Hearst man admitted that the deal had been made and that there would be no contest. The Fifth district caucus voted to stand solidly against instructions shortly before midnight lust night. There were 78 votes in the Fifth which g-ave a big impetus to the anti-Hearst sentiment. While the Kansas delega tion will go to St. Louis uninstructeu there will be a number of Hearst men elected delegates. The district caucus which met this morning selected dele gates by districts as follows: First. J. V. Orr, Atchison, anti Hearst; Frank Filzwilliams, Leaven worth. anti-Hearst. Second, W. P. Dillard, Fort Scott, anti-Hearst; T. M. Morgan, Ottawa, Hearst. Fourth, J. M. McCoun, Lincoln, anti; A. S. Kemper, Pottawatomie, anti. Fifth, W. H. L. Peppered, Cloud, anti; T. L. Bond, Saline, anti. Sixth, S. C. Smith, Jewell, anti; A. A. Roth, Russell, anti. The Seventh district Democratic congressional convention was called to meet at Great Hend August 1. In his speech Duval said, "We are all Kansas iity platform Democrats." Continuing Mr. Duval said: "No higher honor can be conferred upon a man in the realm of party pol itics than to have the privilege of pre siding over the deliberations of a Democratic convention; especially is this true when it is a convention com posed of Democrats true and loyal to the principles, doctrines and tradi tions of the party, called for the pur pose of selecting delegates to the na tional convention that will nominate the next president of our great caun tvy. "(lentlemen of the convention, you as the representative delegates of "the Democrats from your respective coun ties, are face to face with grave re sponsibilities. "Those of you who have carefully watched the action and anticipated action of those states that have and will yet select delegates to the St. Louis convention know that manv of the states desire to see a candidate nominated who not only supported our ticket in 1896 and 1900. but also one that win unite all factions of our party. Many of these states are now placing before the Democrats of the nation favorite sons Missouri ri- i-ell: Illinois her Williams, Maryland her Gorman, Wisconsin her Wall Massachusetts her Olnev. California her Hearst, and New York her Par ker. So. gentlemen of the convention let me ask that you thoughtfu'Iy and seriously consider what vou believe to be the desires and wishes of a ma jority of the Democrats in your re spective localities and throughout this great state; carefully consider what you believe to be best for our partv pnd then with your conscience and your God what you believe best for Democratic harmony and Democratic success." He named a number of presidential candidates crediting Hearst to Cali fornia. The mention of Hearst's na'iie trough t Hearst men to their feet cheering enthusiastically. Parker of I S1 1 1 m 4 a fi fe JMi is, tea I i f, I in New Tork was next mentioned there was cheering from the other crowd but not as much as for Hearst. No other candidates were cheered. Usual committees were appointed, S3 members each. After the appointment of committees the convention was adjourned until i o'clock. The state convention will select 2 0 delegates and the same number of al ternates to the national gathering- at St. Louis. The work of the conven tion also included the naming of a na tional committeeman. The first fight today was over the temporary chair manship. The state central committee had voted for Claude Duval of Hutchinson, who is heading the element against instruc tions for Hearst, for temporary chair man. The anti-Hearst men, so termed, however, contended that they were fighting instructions and not Hearst, and that they were fighting such action because it would be breaking a ivanass precedent to instruct for anyone. The opinion among those desiring to instruct for the New York con gressman was that John H. Atwood, of Leavenworth, their candidate, would be named for temporary presiding officer. Before the convention met apparent streqgth of the two elements was about even, but the Hearst peo ple finally gave up without a fight. Senator Harris will head delegation as delegate at large. He is anti Hearst. During the noon recess the Third and Seventh districts named delegates as follows: Third A. M. Jackson. Cowley. Hearst; Dr. Geo. W. Gabriel, Labette, anti-Hearst. Seventh O. P. Scearce, Stafford, Hearst; Charles Oswald, Reno, Hearst. The anti-instruction crowd have agreed to a slate of delegates at large including Farrelly and Johnson, but they propose to tie Hearst men up with the unit rule. The Hearst men claim eight. Their delegates are as follows: Farrelly, Johnson, Dillard, Morgan, Jackson, McCoun, Scearce, Oswald. The Seventh district caucus in structed for Hearst, which may bring a clash if unit rule is attempted. Wichita, Kan., April 7. It became evident last evening that the test of strength in the fight between the Hearst and anti-Hearst crowds would come right on the start on the tem- (Contonued on Page Six.) RAINING IN KANSAS.

The Kansas City Topeka Railway company was granted a charter today to build and operate a road from Kan sas City west through Topeka and into Wabaunsee county. The capital tock is placed at $2,500,000. The incorporators named in the charter are C. J. Devlin. Joab Mul vane, J. W. Gleed. D. E. Palmer and John L. Hunt, all of Topeka. The capitalists who ar epushmg the project are eastern parties, represent ed by Turner Co., bankers of Chi cago. Colonel Nettleton, of Minneap olis, Minn., is interested in the road. The charter nrovides for the oneratinfi: of a railway through Wyandotte, Johnson, uougiass, fenawnee, Osage, Wabaunsee, Jefferson and Leavenworth counties and provides that steam, gas, electricity, ca ble or compressed air may be used as the motive power. The company promises to iiirnisti light, neat ana power in connec tion with the road and to work in con nection with mineral, oil and gas lands. J. Willis Gleed, attorney for the com pany, said today: "I think this road is 'a go.' The company now operates a road between Kansas City and Olathe, in Johnson county, and the Kansas City and Topeka will be a continuation of that road. I think, although I do not speak with authoritv. that work will beein on the extension to Topeka within sixty days. NEAR 80,000,000. Census Bureau Figures on Pop ulation of United States. Washington, April 7. The census bu reau today issued a bulletin which gives tne estimatea population of the United States for 1903, exclusive of Alaska and the insular possesions of the United States, at 79.900,389. This is an increase of 3.905.S14 since the census of 1900. The population is estimated for 43S cities having 10,000 or more inhabitants in 1900. According to these estimates New York is now a city of 3.716,39 inhabitants; Chicago has 1,873.830; Philadelphia 1,367,716; St. Louis has just passed and Roston has almost reached the 600,000 mark. San Francisco and Pittsburg are close competitors, the former having E:5,919, and the latter 34-" 043. UNCLE $m REFUSES. Washington, April 7. The senate committee on commerce today refused to recommend an appropriation of a million and a half provided for in a bill introduced by Senator Long for the purpose of removing obstructions from the mouth of the Kaw. This means that the government will lend no aid and that if anything is done in this direction it will have to be done locally. LOGY OH HANNA Senate Devotes a Day to Mem ory of Dead Statesman. Senator Foraker Offers Resolu tion and Makes an Address. PAYS WARM TRIBUTE To the Character and Worth of ills Political Illral But at the Same Time Points Out His Failings. Washington, April 7. The senate to day passed a bill authorizing the sur vey of certain lands in Cascade coun ty. Montana. In accordance "with previous agree ment, the senate devoted practically its entire time today to eulogies upon the character of the late Senator Ha'i na. Mr. Foraker presented the usual resolutions and asked for their consid eration. Mr. Foraker was the fir.-it speaker. The galleries were crowded by friends and admirers of the late senator and the speakers were given close attention. Mr. Foraker's address was a candid view of the public career and a frank analysis of the character of his lave colleague. Stating that he had first become ac quainted with Mr. Hanna at the na tional convention in 1884, where both were delegates at large, Mr. Forakjr said they had co-operated in support of Mr. Sherman for the presidency. "As a result of that experience," he said, "we became warm friends, both politically and personally." This friendship, said the senator, had been interrupted prior to the conven tion of 1888, when their relations were entirely interrupted for the next three years, "When," he went on, "in a mod ified and less cordial way, they were resumed, and thereafter continued un til his death. These relations were less cordial than previously, because, al though we at times heartily co-operated, and in a personal and social way were entirely friendly, yet in political matters, we were generally opposed to each other in the factional contests and controversies among the Republi cans of our state." He said that Mr. Hanna's relation to President McKiii ley had naturally rendered him "dom inant in Ohio politics." These matters of the past, he said, were brought up only for the purpose of illustrating the point of view from which he had studied the man. He said: "In the grave with him lie buried all differences, all hostilities, all preju dices and all unkindnesses or ill feel ing of every sort that ever at any time may have been entertained. "I would not discuss anythingof such a nature on this occasion if I could, and I could net do so with proprioCy if I would. Here and now all criticism should be hused, except only that which may be inseparable part of his actual life, character and public ser vices." He did not believe that if, living, Mr. Hanna would want other than a frank discussion of his qualities. Con tinuing. Mr. Foraker said: "To these who knew him only as I knew him for the first four years of our acquaintance he was an unusually lovable man. He was bright, cheery, generous, kind, strong and ever ready to practice self-denial, especially when it involved the preferment of a friend. "These qualities were so pronounced and so manifest that none other could well be seen by those who looked through only the partial eyes of friendship. "By these traits and habits he nat urally made such ardent friends of all with whom he met that if was easy for them to think and believe that if he had differences with anyone or met with opposition from anyone it must have been without fault on his part. "But while he thus appeared to his friends and to all who were in accord with him, and had no occasion to know him except in agreeable rela tions, he appeared to have some addi tional and less agreeable character istics to those who were so unfortun ate as to be In opposition to him con cerning any matter he deemed impor tant. "To all such he was the very im personation of antagonism itself. He had such strong convictions that he always felt impelled in such cases to contend with all his energy and powers for the views he entertained and the cause he espoused. "In all such contests he invariably battled fiercely and unrelentingly to the end, spurning all compromises and stopping at nothing honorable short of unqualified success. "He was so constituted by nature that he could not easily do otherwise. "As a result he seldom resorted to diplomacy or to any kind of effort to placate or mollify opposition, but re lied on the logic of hard knocks. "Like Napoleon, he believed that the way to win victories was to have the heaviest artillery, and plenty of it, and to make vigorous use of it." While this policy made many en emies, it also made friends, and this friendship was reciprocated to the ex tent, Mr. Foraker said, thrt Mr. Hanna would often assist his friends in their battles "regardless of their character." "Only a man of uncommon strength of character and one possessing the confidence of his fellow countrymen to an unusual degree." he added, "could have done what he so habitually did in this respect without serious injury to his reputation, but with him it came to be regarded as a virtue." Mr. Foraker spoke eulogistical! v of Mr. Hanna's intellectual qualities, of his un erring judgment of men, his executive qualities, his strong common sense, his business training, etc., but said that he was deficient in scholarship and oratorical gifts. SpeakinR- of Mr. Hanna's career in the senate, Mr. Foraker said: "His services in the senate covered a period of almost seven years. During1 a'l this time he was prominent, influential, and helpful in determining: policies ind shaping national and international ques tions of importance and consequence, hut he left behind him no statute or other measure of which he was distinctively the author." Referring to Mr. HnnnnV part in the McICinley can.paign. Mr. Foraker said' "Tnis was his great opportunity an,-! he improved it so t boron erhly that he pot on ly excited the affection,- te resrard" of his own pnrty. but r.lso commanded the ad miration of his opponents. It was an ar duous work well clone. "He had the usual "experience of men who do great things well. lie was made the target for all the criticisms, abuses. slanders and libels that malicious ingenu ity could invent "There was no ignoble trait or passion that was not ascribed to him and por trayed of him in the political cartoons and writings of that day. A less strong man would have despaired and been de stroyed by it, but he never showed the slightest concern on such account. "Conscious of his jower and the ulti mate vindication of h;.s purpose, he disre garded them all and went steadily for ward upon the lines of duty as he saw it." "He grew not alone with the years, but even with the days. Soon the whole coun try came to understand that he was. one of the really great men of his day and generation. Then the pendulum of public opinion swung quickly in the opposite di rection. Misconceptions failed and mis representations ceased; praise succeeded to criticism and favor, followed .until he enjoyed at the hands of the American people almost rare and exceptional es teem and admiration. "In short, although he had deficiencies and probably disappointed expectations In some respects, ho tilled a. great place among the great men of hl3 time and died respected, beloved and mourned by all classes of his countrymen." Ill the House. Washington, April 7. The house com mittee on banking and currency today authorized a favorable report on the bill introduced by Mr. Hill (Conn.) to "improve currency conditions which does away with the limit on subsidiary coinage, permits the use of gold cer tificates in denominations of $10, auth orizes deposits of customs receipts In national banks the same as internal receipts, repeals the law permitting the withdrawal of $3,000,000 of circula tion in any one month. The commit tee recommends striking out the cla-tse in the bill reducing the tax on circu lation to one-half of 1 per cent. RUSSIAN EASTER. Three Day Celebration Begins Throughout the Empire. St. Petersburg, April 7.- General rain throughout Russia marked the inaug uration of the Easter holidays, an augury, according to tht popular leg em, of bountiful crops. Cusiness and all government work, was suspended as customary. The annunciation of the Virgin was signalized by various tra ditional observances birds "were set free, bon fires were built, holy bread was placed in the bins for luck and the village girls unplatted their hair. With the exception of the soldiers and sailors in the far east, every orth odox Russian today began three days' fast. As a military measure to guard possible surprises by the enemy while the emperor's legions are debilited by abslnar.ee from food, special dispen sations have been granted to the men. relieving them of their religious duties of fastening and confessing. In all the churches of the empire to day solemn scenes the last supper, the washing of feet, the betrayal, the Judgment and the sentence were im pressively re-enacted. In the Russian capital, the greatest interest centered in the ceremony at St. Isaac's cathedral, 'where the rites and ceremonials were conducted on a scale of great magnificence, the Metro politan of St. Petersburg, who wore upon his head a. mitre .ablaze with dia monds, impersonating the 3viour and the chief bishops and deacons of the province, representing the disciples. From early morning the vast cathedral was thronged with the devout and un numbered thousands surrounding the. building were unable to gain admit tance. Among the congregation were mans women dressed in spotless wnife, who had come to take the communion. Most of those inside the cathedral re mained there all day at their devo tions, swaying and crossing themselves and at intervals as the service pro ceeded, prostrating their bodies and touching the floor with their foreheads. All the foreign diplomats, including United States Ambassador McCormicK were present. The emperor and the imperial family attended a similar service in the church of the winter palace, later tak ing the sacrament with the dowager empress at the AnitchkofC palace. THEY. ARE WAITING. Santa Fe Machinists Still Work. at The Santa Fe machinists in Topeka are still at work and according to the latest reports nothing has been received from Washington where the executive committee of the Internationa! Associa tion of Machinists is deliberating on the question of a strike on the lines of the Santa Fe. It is expected that the local members of the order will abide by the decision of this committee and nothing will be done until they have been noti fied of the committee's decision. Present conditions among the machin ists employed along the lines of the Santa Fe, however, indicate that a strike is highly probable. Reports re ceived here today say that more men at San Bernardino and other Santa Fe shop centers in California and the west are handing in their resignations. The underlying motive for this action on the part of the men is apparent. They know that if the usual custom prevails the Santa Fe will blacklist the strikers in case any trouble should occur, and, in order to escape this, they are giving up their positions at this time when a strike seems to be inevitable. The offi cials, however, do not appreciate thi3 action cn the part of the men. We want men," said one official yes terday, "who will stay by us under all conditions, men who have the courage of their convictions and who are not dominated or intimidated by labor or ganizations, men that can be depended upon. There are plenty of such men seeking employment and they will be given the preference." UN PER WRICKS. Three Firemen Are Buried and Lose Their Lives. York, Pa., April 7. Three firemen lost their lives, several others were in jured and a loss of about $250,000 was caused by fire which destroyed the large plant of the York Carriage com pany. The plant was consumed with its inflammable contents and much ad joining property was damaged. A wall fell burying beneath the hot bricks three firemen, Harry Saltzgiver, Horace F. Strine and Lewis Strubinger. Their bodies were recovered. T. W. Shout Killed. T. W. Shout, a Santa Fe brakeman from Argentine, Kas., well known in Topeka, was killed this morning at Lebo, Kas., while coupling cars. He was running on eastbound freight No. 6 5. His remains were taken to Argentine. Mr. Shout has been with the Santa Fe for two years. ENTER THE YALU, Japanese Supply Steamers Are Landing Cargoes On the Korean Side of the Big IliTer. GUARDED BY GUNBOATS Russian Forts Erected on tb Chinese Side Either Abandoned or Hare Proren Ineffective. Tokio, April 7.-2 p. m. A dispatch from Seoul, Korea, says that the Jap anese supply steamers are safely en tering the estuary of the Yalu river and are landing their cargoes at var ious points on the Korean shore. It is presumed here that the movements of these supply steamers is covered by Japanese gun boats. If this is true the Russian forts erected upon the Chinese side of the Yalu river are evi dently not effective. According to re liable Korean reports the American mines at TJn San and the English mines at Gwendolen are safely guard ed by detachments of Japanese troops. Perennial Disturbances. Seoul, Korea, Wednesday, April 6. 3 P- rn. Chomin Heui, a former minister to the United States, has been ap pointed minister to Japan In place of Hyun Yong Un, who was appointed April 1, but who refused to accept the post. M. Hayashi, Japanese minister to Korea, claims that the murder of three Japanese merchants in the province of Cheng Chung was due to internal dis orders. It is also reported that the Tong Hak risings In co-operation with disbanded Korean soldiers in the vicinity of Ping Yang are nothing but usual perennial disturbances and have no significance politically. Beer 50 Cents a Bottle. St. Petersburg. April 7. A corre spondent of the Novosti writing from Liao lang, March 13. says that small town had been transferred into a mil itary city as the result of the arrival of many troops. Living had become extremely expensive, due to the in ability of merchants to obtain private freight. No goods were allowed to be shipped to Liao Yang from Port Ar thur. A table of prices shows that the necessaries of life had risen to two and three times the normal prices. American beer was quoted at 50 cents a bottle, whereas before the war it brought only 10 cents. No relief from the high prices can be had, as the mil itary requires the use of practically all the space in the railroad cars. Germany the Real Enemy. St. Petersburg, April 7. The Russ in an editorial Inveighs against that section of the Russian press which is proposing an alliance of Russia, Ger many and France against what is termed the Yellow Anglo-Saxon peril, economic and political. "Why not," the editorial asks, "fol low the example of France and Eng land boldly undertake to reconcile dif ferences which now seem hopelessly entangled? Then it would be shown how few they are and what benefit would come from an alliance between us and America against the more grave and common enemy, Germany. This may be the real coalition of the future." Poisonous Gases from Shells. St. Petersburg, April 7. A corres pondent of the Vostichny Vestnik states that many of the slightly wounded in the first bombardment of Port Arthur have died as a result of the poisonous gases emanating from the Japanese shells. He notes that many of the enemy's projectiles fall in or near the hospital and adds that it has been determined to evacuate the city hospital at Dalny, if that place is bombarded, because of an unwilling ness to trust to the humanity of the Japanese. Locomotives Are Scarce. St. Petersburg, April 7. In the Amursky Krai, it is reported that there is a lack of locomotives and other roll ing stock for the Chinese eastern rail road.

More grief for Mayor Bergundthal arrived at the city clerk's office Wed nesday. A petition was filed asking for the pavement of West Twelfth street from Tyler to Fillmore, a dis tance of four blocks, with brick pave ment 35 feet wide, and Colorado red sandstone curbing. This pavement will be a very cheap proposition for the taxpayers who live on the street, because the street car company will have to pay for paving 18 feet of it, leaving only 8H feet for the people on each side of the street to pay for. But the pavement will cost the city a good deal, as there are two inter sections to be paved. The Street Car company will probably lend its influ ence to defeat the pavement, as they have just finished relaying their track with new ties, ballast and rails. The West Twelfth street petition is very likely to be turned down by the council, and if the petitioners find that they can't get their pavement this year they will ask the council to grant it for next year. TWO BANKS CLOSE, Failure Due to Speculation in Western Cattle. Marshalltown, Iowa, April 7. The Exchange bank of Dow City and the Bank of Buck Grove, Crawford county, have failed with reported total liabili ties half a million dollars, and assets of only a hundred and fifty thousand dollars and are in the hands of a re ceiver. Both are owned by H. S. Greene of Dow City. Mr. Greene says the as sets are between $75,000 and $100,000 greater than the direct liabilities and depositors will be paid in full. He says the direct liabilities aggregate only $200,000 dollars. Speculation in west ern cattle is the cause of the failure. ROOT AND CANNON For Temporary and Permanent Chairmen at Chicago. Washington, April 7. Former Secre tary Root will be temporary chairman and Speaker Cannon permanent chair man of the Republican national con vention at Chicago. This is in accord ance with the conclusions oi leaumg re publican politicians in "Washington and it is understood the arrangements met with the approval of those in other parts of the country, who have been consulted.

Three lied Men Killed and 20 injured. Others Fled In Panic Across the Prairie. TO SEE GREAT FATHER. Victims Were Sioux on Their Way to Washington. SurTivors Sang Death Song Orer Dead Comrades. Son of Sitting Bull Was Among the Injured. Maywaod, in., April 7. Sixty-threa Indians in a special car en route to Washington to see President Roose velt, were smashed into by a mail train two miles west of here today during a fog. Three of the Indians were In stantly killed, three were fatally in jured and twenty others were more or less seriously hurt. The Indians who were not pinned in the wreck fled in panic across the prairie. The trains which collided were th Oregon Express and the fast mail on the Chicago and Northwestern rail way. The express train was run lnt by the mail train. Both trains wer east bound. Physicians were promptly hurried ta the scene. As soon as possible the in jured were taken to1 Maywood and Chicago. All the victims of the wreck were Indians. The coach containing the Indians was a light day car. It was complete ly wrecked. The rear nTTof the coach ahead was also damaged. After the collision the passengers in the other coaches of the two trains hurried to the rescue and after a hard struggle pulled them from beneath the wreckage. Chief Whltehorse, in charge of the Indians on the train, was fatally injured. The bodies of the Indians who had been killed outright, were laid on the prairie beside the track. Chief Whltehorse being carried with them. He said he knew that dea"h was near and requested that he be placed near his dead companions. The chief was propped up and sat stoically while his companions worked over his injuries. He smoked a pipe quietly and showed no signs of the pain he muft have been suffering. One by one the other injured Indians were slowly ta ken from the splintered car and pla --i upon the ground near their dying chief and dead comrades. The physicians hurried from one to another of the in- Mured, administering to the wants of all, while arrangements were being made to take them tc the nearest hos pital. Persons who were on the train said that the collision unquestionably was the result of the dense fog, which to day stretched from Lake Michigan many miles westward. In addition to the fog clouds of escaping steam en veloped the wreck and added to the difficulty of rescue. A moment after the crash, there was not a sound from the ill-fated coach. Then one by one those surviving the crash regained in part their senses and began shouting for aid. A terrifying series of wild yells from the Indians were heard by the passengers, jumping from each side of the cars ahead. All the men passengers and many of the women on board the two trains hastened to the aid of the Injured Indians. The fact that one side of the rear car fell off with the impact undoubtedly saved the lives of many Indians who were thrown out onto the prairie. The In dians were from the reservation near Rushville, Neb., and tlr journey east was primarily for show purposes at New York. It was a pitiable sight to see the In dians lying on the ground clad in their native costumes with their red blankets dyed deeper by the blood of their friends. The men were of splen did physique and the exhibition of calm nerve on the part 6f White Horse was a good example of that of the other members of the Indian party. THE DEAD. TTTT.T.

Says Jimmy Britt Won the Fight on the Square. Story of an Interested Specta tor at the lilngside. ALWAYS AGGRESSOR. Fought More Than- Half the Rounds With a Broken Hand. Declares Keferee Graney Gare a Square Decision. Cincinnati, April 7. One of the best known sporting men in town return ed home yesterday from San Fran cisco. He was a. spectator at the Cor-bett-Britt contest on March 25, and says that Britt won fairly. He got the decision because he earned it by a hard and aggressive fight. This is what the gentleman has to Bay concerning the fight: "Jimmy Britt won because he fought a game, uphill fight against odds. Cor bett claims that he was robbed. I do not think so. If ever a man was en titled to the decision it was Britt. Cor bett went in the ring under the im pression that he was going to have things his own way. He tried to use all sort3 of foul tactics on his oppon ent and bulldozed him round after round with his talk. Britt kept his head like a little gentleman, and as far as I know never said anything in return to Corbett's vile remarks. In the sixth or seventh round Britt frac tured his right hand. After that he was in great pain. He could not use Ills right with any force, but at that he gamely struggled cn, and I noticed that it was he who struck the last hlow, and with his right hand at that. As to the talk that Graney played Cor bett unfair, I cannot see it at all. Cor hett claims that the referee interfered with him fighting in clinches and pre vented him from doing his best. Now, that is not right. Whenever Graney broke the men he interfered with Britt more than with Corbett.because Britt's broken hand was the one the referee would grab when he parted them. In the clinches Britt fought for all he was worth. He had Corbett holding on and backing up most of the time. Be fore Britt injured his hand he soaked Corbett some dandies with the right, and I think he would have come near putting him out had he had two hands to fight with. Then Britt was the ag gressor. He forced the fighting round after round. I never saw such a de termined young fellow in all my life. 1 believe that had he broken both hands he would have fought with the same grit and determination that he did with one hand gone. "Britt is a fighter, sure enough. He has not received the credit due him, and I do not think Corbett has made any friends by the way he has treated his opponent since the fight. He should come out like a man and acknowledge defeat. He has made a bad play in speaking so disrespectfully cf Referee Graney, and the sports of San Fran cisco will never forget him for it. I heard a lot of stories about Corbelt since the fight, and among them was iOSTETTEns M CELEBRATED y Now is the time you need a medicine to tone up the sys tem, drive out the winter im purities, and overcome that tired feeling.

Y., on every bottle. one to the effect that he refused to pay his part of the $500 due Graney for his services. Whether this is true or not I am unable to say, but then it will not do Corbett any good to have such talk going the rounds. The whole thing was this: Corbett went in the ring thinking he had a sure thing of it. He was fooled. The man who fooled him was not Graney, but Britt, one of the gamest lads I ever saw in the ring." SAYS IT WAS FIXED. Jack McKenna Has His Say on the Corbett-Britt Go. St. Louis, April 7. Jack McKenna, for mer manager of Young Corbett, who is fully conversant with the dealings of Cor bett, and particularly with the way Pa cific coast politicians do. business, states that the battle for the championship wns probably "fixed." To prove that he declares that when Corbett wp.s looking for easy money in the Dave Sullivan light, Britt balked and refused to go on with the conqueror of McGovern. Politicians told Britt to go on, that matters would "turn out all right." This, coupled with the criticism of the Graney decision, McKenna says, looks signillcant. Then Prank O. Green, a New York sport in Hot Springs on the night of the fight, received a mysterious telegram and as a result went to the Arkansas club and oth er roolrooms with his friends and prsc t.cally backed Britt off the boards, Mc Kenna says that the action was taken to punish Corbett for spoiling the Corbett Britt fight as a drawing card by going on with Sullivan. MeGOVEItN AND COKBETT. Will IJkcly Be Matched For a Go In the East. Chicago, April 7. Young Corbett and and Terry McGovern are likely to meet in the ring for the third time. Harry Pollok, manager of Young Cor bett. in a talk today stated that the champion and the former holder of the title are likely to engage in a six round contest at Philadelphia some time next month. "Sam Harris," said Harry Pollok before leaving for the east, "has been asking for another match for Terry. Two defeats have not convinced Harris that Corbett is McGovern's master. "When I get east I will take up Harris' offer. I will see that he makes the side bet that he has been clamoring for. Cor bett is as great a six round lighter as any boy in the country." "Shorty" Fuller Is 111. Cincinnati, April 7. "Shorty" Fuller, the once great shortstop of the New York Giants, is lying very ill at his home on Everett street from lung trouble and his condition is reported to be very critical. Fuller has been failing in health, for some time, Vit it was not until a week aso that his friends gave up hope. Fuller is a Cincinnati boy and was a fast amateur player before joining the professional ranks. After he quit the big league he returned to this city and has been a prominent figure on local amateur teams for several years. A Kick for Kilfoyle. Cleveland, April 7. President Kil foyle. of the Cleveland American league ball team, said that Toledo had no claim on O'Hara; that he had been awarded to Cleveland by a pr&vious decision of the National Baseball Commission, and that if an attempt is made to send O'Hara to Toledo the Cleveland management will contest the right to do so. O'Hara has been with the Cleveland team for three weeks at San Antonio. Sharkey Threatens to Retire. New York. April 7. Unless Tom Shar key meets J. J. Jeffries for the world's heavyweight championship it is doubtful if the sailor ever enters the ring again. In fact, Sharkey says that there is only one man that he desires to meet, and if he can not get on a match with the cham pion he would not go into training again. Having made many thousands of dollars in his fistic battles, Sharkey says there is no inclination on his part to fight unless it would be for the championship. Favorite Beaten at Memphis. Memphis, Tenn., April 7. Witful's bad luck at the Montgomery park track was again in evidence when she started in the six furlong race that was expected to feature the card. In with, such horses as Scorpio, Martin mas; Federal and others, Witful was an even money favorite at all stages of the betting. What she might have done cannot be told, for when the barrier was released Scorpio, who is always a dangerous horse at the post, bumped into her, wheeling the little filly around and unseating Jockey Fuller. Scorpio got safely &ut of the mess, and before the first quarter had been run had collared Clorlta, but he in turn was soon caught by Martin mas and it was this horse that had the winning margin at the finish. After Scorpio had been disposed of there was nothing to challenge and Martinmas drew away off and won in an easy gallop by six lengths. Vestina Belle was a starter in the race and for the first time made a respectable showing by out-gaming Federal in the drive for third money, although, not bother ing Scorpio for the place. NICHOLS IX FORM. Did Good Work in the Box Against the American League Team. St. Louis, April 7. The St. Louis Nationals, with "Kid" Nichols pitch ing, defeated the St. Louis Americans at League park Wednesday afternoon by a score of 6 to 2. Although the Browns were defeated, they deserve considerable credit for their showing. With Wallace and Hill out of the fray. Hedges' team was badly handicapped, but they played enough baseball to make it very in teresting for the 4,000 spectators and the Cardinals. Pelty, who pitched for the Browns, did nice work, but he lacked the finesse of his more experi enced rival and consequently lost. Barclay and "Kid" Nichols were the stars of the day. "Deer Foot'.' showed his true form. On the bases he had lightning speed and in the fieid he made two of the prettiest plays yet pulled off in the series. At the Gotham Tennis Tourney. New York, April 7. The contest for the National Court tennis champion ship has practically narrowed down to a duel between Joseph A. Crane, jr., of Boston and C. H. Sands of this city. The work of each today was enough to show that either was cap able of a championship contest. In the first game C. H. Sands defeated O. S. Campbell 3 sets to 2. During the afternoon Joseph Crane, Jr., and Aus tin Potter of Boston faced each other and the present champion. Crane, maintained his superiority. Summary: C. S. Sands, New York, defeated O. S.

Grand Rapids, Mich., April 7 A jury has. been secured in thue superior court for the trial' of State Senator David E. Burns. The defendant is charged with accepting a bribe of $200 in connection with the Lake Michigan water deal which resulted recently in sensational disclosures of much corruption. Sen ator Burns is charged with influencing legislation at Lansing. Former City Attorney Lant K. Salis bury was the first witness. Salisbury testified that Senator Burns told h.ira he did not propose to introduce a bill to aiu all the city officiais in making money when he was only going to get $100 or $200. "I took him out to my office and paid him $200 with the understanding that he was to introduce the bill at Lansing," said Salisbury. "I was later to pay him $5,000. He wanted the whole amount at once but we agreed that he should abandon the bill if he did not get the rest of the money." Salisbury said that after he himself had been tried and convicted Burns advised him to tell all he knew. How ever, Salisbury said that when asked If he should begin by telling on Burns the latter intimated that it was not necessary to include him.

Cbanute Seems to Lead in Oil Producing Wells. Now Has 700 With New Ones Coming in Rapidly. ABOUT 40 PER MONTH. Visitors to the Town Strand the Lodging Houses. Strangers Compelled to Sleep on Cots and Chairs. Chanute, Kan., April 7. Chanute la the recognized center of oil operations in the Kansas field. It gained this dis tinction by taking the lead in oil de velopment. While Neodesha produced oil first it did not push operations. Cha nute jumped In and punched holes rapidly. At the present time there are in the neighborhood of 700 producing wells in the Chanute field and new ones are being brought in at the rate of forty a month. There seems to be no let up in the business. For two years now this district has been flooded with operators and speculators. Old timers here long ago thought the influx of strangers would drop off, but It hasn't. Just as many people sleep on cots or in chairs at the local hotels aa formerly. Every passenger train from the north and east empties people out by the score. Oil land and leases are going up in prices right along. Chanute is grow ing at the rate of 2,000 in population a year. The principal oil trend here runs north and south, just east of town. It is strung with wells and derricks for miles. Most of the 750 wells are on that trend. There are two other trends one east of town three miles and one west of town two miles. Both have several oil wells, but the big trend is the middle one, which runs along the Neosho river near town. The operators here pump considerably by compressed air. Derricks are taken down at the air pump wells. So the country is either dotted by derricks or oil tanks. The Standard takes the oil from here through its pipe line to the Neodesha refinery. Its refining and storage capacity is not equal to the sup ply, and Just now the producers are somewhat handicapped. But' when the Kansas City refinery is completed next fall there will be no trouble in handling all the oil that can be produced here and the business will be greatly stimu lated then. In 18B5 the people of this place want ed coal and they prospected for it. They found gas, which they didn't seem to want at that time. Two years later they tried again for coal and found more gas and quit in disgust. Things lay dormant in? the gas line for about ten years. Suddenly Chanute woke up one morning and found the Standard Oil company with some gas wells seek ing to supply the town. These wells were located at Benedict,' west of here. The Standard got. a contract out of the city, but refused to tie itself up except from month .to month. It was afraid of its premises. It didn't know how quick ly the gas1' wbuld giVe' out. "Things Jog ged along that way -f of. a year or more, when the city decided to spend a little of its own money after gas wells. It had found gas a much more desirable fuel than coal and wanted more of it. The "city issued $5,000 in bonds to sink a well. It got gas and oil leases from most of the farmers In this vicinity. A well the first one was sunk on Fred Hetrick's farm east of town and a good flow of gas was struck. Oil at Bonner Springs. Bonner Springs, Kan, April 7. Word was brought from the prospect well on a farm a mile east of town last evening that oil had been struck, and consider able excitement has been occasioned. It was known that the drill men expected to reach the oil-hearing'sand yesterday, but 'on account of the failure to produce anything from the four prospect wells already sunk, not much interest had been manifested. The flow of shale gas struck ten days ago forced the drillers to move their engine to a safer distance from the drill and take additional precautions to pre vent fire. Since then the flow of gas has grown steadily stronger. Two or three times it has ignited from the en gine, but a cap has been kept near at hand to close the well. The gas was lighted and the light from the blaze was seen for a distance "of six miles. Judge Simons by Acclamation. Pleasanton, Kan., April 7.

Rains are reported all around us, but one fourth of an inch will cover the pre cipitation here since November. The wheat is In good condition and will make a full crop with an immediate rain, but it can not stand the drouth much longer. Another 'Phone Line for Atchison. A company is building a telephone line to Potter and Easton to connect with Atchison. Nearly all the poles are now up, and the company expects to be doing business in a few months. An exchange will be put in at Potter and Easton. The line will connect with the new company at Atchison. The Bell company has a. telephone ser vice, both rural and town, in the vi cinity of oPtter and Easton. The ex tent to which telephones are being put in can be- Judged from the fact that fully 150 telephones are In use in and surrounding Potter, and nearly as many in the Easton vicinity. When the new company's service Is installed, the number of farmers having tele phones will be greatly increased. In fact, it is believed that in a year there will be a telephone in every farm house for ten miles around the vil lages. These telephones will all be con nected with Atchison. Atchison Globe. A Tank Farm for IIumloldt. Humboldt.April 7. The report comes on what is believed to be reliable au thority that the Standard Oil company has bought land on which it intends to erect tanks for the storage of oil. The land in question is the west of the Johnson Gadarl farm, a mile east and a mile south of Humboldt, and close to the Phoenix and the Jas. Lockhart wells. This land was held by J. C. Dorrington and Dr. Johnson and perhaps others interested in the Dal las Humboldt Oil company and th.j price paid by the Standard was close to $10,000, or $125 an acre. Eighty acres will give room for about 15 tanks, and if these are of the usual capacity, 30. 000 barrels, it means a market at Hum boldt for 450,000 barrels. Found Seven Baby Wolves. P. H.

THAT III ALTO CONCERN Cliams That the Company Was Not Fraudulent. An Immediate Verdict of People Often Wrong. T. K. Dewey, supreme court reporter and formerly a partner of Senator Bur ton, has returned from St. Louis and has given out a formal statement de fending Senator Burton. It is as fol lows "Upon the request of Senator Rurton I went to St. Louis Saturday for the purpose of consulting with him and his attorneys concerning certain de tails of the bill of exceptions which was being prepared for the purpose of appeal. In going through the record I gained an impression from the un disputed facts that is quite different from the one made by the press re ports. The transcribed testimony shows that Senator Burton's employment was arranged by H. V. Kastor Sons, the well known advertising agents, through a sense of gratitude on their part. Some years ago the senator aided them in getting some large con tracts and from that time until now they have sought to repay him by rec ommendation to any of their patrons in need of the services of an attorney. I can say on my own responsibility that much of that kind of correspon dence and business came through his office at Abiiene and none of it was of a questionable character. The Kas tors were doing the advertising throughout the land of the Rialto com pany, and in that way their recom mendation of the senator was made to Major Dennis, the owner of that com pany. "The Rialto Grain and Securities company was organized in September, 1902, with an actual paid-up capital of $25,000. The articles of incorporation were prepared by and under the super vision of Hon. Chester H. Krum, for merly United States district court at torney, and Thomas B. Harlan, -who is now the law partner of Hon. Matthew Reynolds. Both of these men are dis tinguished and reputable attorneys of St. Louis. This company was organ ized for the purpose of dealing in grain, cotton, provisions, bonds anl securities, as most commission com panies are organized to do. On their letterheads and in their advertising matter they referred, by permission, to such distinguished -financial concerns as the Fourth National bank. Com monwealth Trust company and the Germania Trust company, all of St. Louis. At the time of Senator Bur ton's employment he was advised, and had every reason to believe, that the Rialto company was not violating any state or federal law. There was no question of its solvency in local finan cial circles. About that time it had S150.0CO in cash and on deposit in St. Louis banks. "Major Dennis, who owned the com pany, had been an insurance man. and in the summer of 1902 bought out a I speculative concern called the Brooks Brokerage company. This concern be came involved In difficulty by the il legitimate practices of the man in charge of it. When Major Dennis dis covered the affairs of the company he closed out the business and organized the Rialto company. When Senator Burton was employed Major Dennis was alarmed lest he himself should be indicted for the crooked transactions of the man who had ruined the Brooks Brokerage company and it turned out that he was indicted within a week af ter the senator's employment. He had already employed local attorneys and also a barrister from Montreal. It was just at that time that the Kastors stepped in and recommended Senator Burton as an able criminal lawyer. Major Dennis sent Harlan to Wash ington to confer about the indictment. He himself then went, end subse quently had the senator come to St. Louis for consultation with the other attorneys. It will be noted that all this trouble was about the Brooks Brokerage company.

"At the trial the government was not permitted to show that the Rialto company was a fraudulent concern, and so far as the recoFd shows, it was reputable. In February, 1903. several get-rich-quick' concerns, like Arnold, Ityan and others, went to pieces under assaults of the postal department, but during that time the department found no- fault whatever with the Rialto company. That company continued to run for nearly a. year after the sen ator's employment ceased, without any interruption from the Postal depart ment. When Major Dennis was in California, a mental and physical wreck, the Rialto company was ruined by the men he left in charge of it. This was months after the senator's con tract had been cancelled. In August and September, 1303, the postal inspec tors made an investigation, continuing four weeks, and reported that thre was no ground for the issuance of a fraud order by the department. "It should be borne in mind that the. law Senator Burton is accused of vio lating was passed in 1S84 and not one lawyer in a thousand knew of its ex istence. It hardly seems possible that" it was intended to cover the 'fraud or der' statute which was passed twenty years later. If such should be the holding of the higher court, then there is no charge of any kind against the senator. "This offense has been heralded as bribery throughout the country. The actual charge was using his influence aa United States senator to persuade the postoffice department not to issue a fraud order against the Rialto com pany. Therefore it is important to know and to realize what the senator did. Mr. Cockran, chief inspector, was. the only official produced at the trial by the government. There was no rre- tense by him that the senator ever tried to influence him ayainst a fraud order. The testimony shows that all that was done was to make inquiry two or three times concerning com plaints and to request Mr. Cockran to notify him in case any complaints should be made. Mr. Cockran himself testified that Mr. Burton said to him that he would not answer such com plaints, or do anything to oppose the department in respect to that or any other matter. The senator swore that he wanted the information to satisfy himself whether the company was hav ing any trouble -with the department and. if so. to cancel his contract. "At the senators first call, which was two days After his employment at St. Louis. Mr. Cockran told him of two complaints that had been made a month before and had been sent to the inspector at St. Louis. Senator Bur ton reported this to Mr. Harlan, who replied that the inspector had investi- gated, and reported nothing wrong. This information was all that the sen ator ever received from anybody re specting complaints during the time of his employment. What he aid. as herein stated, seems to have been the full measure of his offense. "It should not be overlooked that at-. ter Major Dennis had been acquitted of fraudulent use of the mails by the Brooks Brokerage company, the booki of that company, which had been in possession of Mr. Dice, postal inspec tor, were turned over to the state au thorities at St. Louis. Senator Burton sent to the department a protest against that action, and got an ord.r to have the books turned back to the department. The court instructed the jury that he had a perfect right to do that. "The testimony shows that an ex press agreement was made, at the time of the employment, that the senator should not appear for the Rialto com pany in any complaints that that com pany might have with the postal de partment, further than to make mora inquiry. He says that his reason for making that provision was the fact that the company was using the mails so extensively, their whole business being done through that channel. "This statement of the case is made from my own perusal of the record and at this time I do not tare to pre sent any argument based on It. My object is simply to explain how the senator became connected with the Riaito company and to show the ex tent of his service. When the smoke of battle clears away, the final esti mate will be made and it will be Just, whether it excuses or condemns. An immediate verdict of the people Is of ten wrong, but the ultimate Judgment is always right." Wlfluta and Return, $5.15 Santa Fe. Democratic state convention. Tick ets on sale April 6 and 7.

Merger Decision-' IVing Used by One Railroad to Block Another. St. Paul, April 7. Laws of various west ern states, prohibiting- parallel lines from owning or controlling each other and which was so vigorously attacked by the Northern Securities company when t!ie merger was being formed, have suddrnlv been found very advantageous to meri?er interests inasmuch as thev may be em ployed to prevent the Harrlman people from getting control of the Northern h cilic. Laws which once threatened to breik ap the commission are to be emploved in perpetuating it. This somewhat na'radov. leal situation came to light todav. wh,.n it was learned that Attornev General ponavan of Montana, who has been hast ily summoned to St. Paul bv the Great Northern Securities interests, was im portuned to use the strength of the Mon tana laws to prevent the Harrlman In terests, through the Oregon Short Line, from yetting control of the North?rn Pa cific. Attorney General Dona van was cloaeted with the Great Northern officials for some time. It is supposed that as soon as he re turns to Montana he will pre' are an ac tion, which will be commenced if neces sary, bringing into play the Montana law prohibiting such consolidations.

That Mon tana has been asked to take the matter up is confirmed in a seemingly official statement by the Great Northern inter ests as follows: "'The question of the legality of the pur pose outlined in the petition will be fought in the preliminary battle and is admittedly a ground on which the com pany will oppose the petition. The right of the Oregon Short Line to acquire a majority interest in the Northern Pacific will be questioned, since under the laws of Montana and other states to which the western line is subject there is grave doubt that it could legally hold the North ern Pacific if it so desired. These laws, the company wil contend, prevent the Oregon Short Line from either owning or voting the stock which it demands." FINANCIAL battle immixext. Rockefeller and Harrlman versus Hill and Morgan in X. P. Fight. Chicago, April 7. Students .of the railroad situation in the northwest are becoming more and more confirmed in the opinion that another big change is imminent in connection therewith. The entry of the Rockefeller interests in the field has created the impression that they desire control of the North ern Pacific and that the Harrlman in terests will be in no way loath to see them obtain it. The two interests, it is said, have reached complete under standing in regard to the policy to be pursued in case they attain their ob ject and wrest the Northern Pacific from Hill-Morgan control. Rockefeller interests, it is stated, have become desirous of controlling a Northern transcontinental route. They are understood to take the Wisconsin Central, as well as holding a very large interest in the Milwaukee St. Paul. Should they obtain possession of the Northern Pacific, the old rela tions which existed between it and the Wisconsin Central would be in a large measure restored, and Northern Pa cific through traffic, instead of being routed as at present over the Burling ton, would be divided between the Wisconsin Central and the Milwaukee St. Paul. WATCHING FOR FORGERIES. The Railroads Will Carefully Examine World's Fair Transportation. The railway ticket protective bureau has warned all the roads in the United States to make preparations to have all tickets honored to or from St. Louis sent without delay to the auditors and carefully scrutinized. Any alteration or forgery of tickets is to be reported immediately to Chicago headquarters of the bureau. "It is only reasonable to suspect that forged "tickets will be issued dur ing the St. Louis fair, as they were of the World's fair in Chicago and the Buffalo exposition," said an official of the bureau yesterday. "Our organiza tion is prepared to act without delay if any forged tickets are discovered on any line. "The bureau will continue its war fare against ticket scalpers. Within, a short time we hope to have the scalp ers of Chicago under injunction of the federal courts not to buy or sell non transferable transportation." SALINA WILL PROTEST.

Hutchinson has a request to make of the Rock Island railroad and should make it at once, says the Hutchinson Bee. On the loth of this month a new time card will be put in effect on that road. The Golden State Limited will be taken off for the summer, and that will leave Hutchinson without a train to the west over the Rock Is land after the 6 o'clock passenger in the morning. The territory to the west along this line is one that de pends on Hutchinson for its supplies, and the interests of this city and of those people in a means of access to this city demand the running of an evening train to the west. The train arriving from the east at 7:15 in the evening stops at this point. The divi sion point is Bucklin, one hundred miles west of Hutchinson. The coun try from Hutchinson to Bucklin is tributary to this city, but must be able to get to and from this city if it is to be a factor in the commercial trade of the merchants here. The Commercial clubi should at on'ce take steps to secure by the Rock Is'.and the continuance of that train from Hutchinson west in the evening. That would give people an opportunity to come to Hutchinson from the west in the morninr and return in the evening of the same day. This matter must be taken up with the proper officials of the Rock Island. They can be shown that such an extension of the service would be a good and paying thing for the road and that its interests together with the interests of the citr would be served by such an arrangement. One of the members of the Commercial club said to a representative of the Bee this morning that such a train would be worth $50,000 per year to the business men of this city, and that the effort to have this arrange ment made was more important than any street fair or convention schemes.

GOOD-BYE TO MEMPHIS. Cotton Belt Claims It Has Been Driven Out of the City. Memphis, April 7. It is announced by local officials of the St. Louis South western railway (Cotton Belt) that the regular passenger train which left Memphis Wednesday night at 8:20 for the southwest is the last train of this system that will be operated to or from Memphis. In other words, the depar ture of this train marked the withdraw al of the Cotton Belt from this city. All the employes of the system here, both freight and passenger, have been notified that they will be transferred to other points and they will leave for their new assignments as soon as the office here can be closed. This action is the result of contention between the Memphis freight bureau and the Cotton Beit. The Cotton Belt officials contended that if they made the rates sought by the freight bureau the Memphis busi ness would necessarily have to be han dled at a loss. Rather than concede the rates requested the Cotton Belt officials decided to withdraw from Memphis. The system does not own its own tracks into the city but has operated its trains over the Iron Mountain tracks from Fairoaks, Ark. TROUBLE BEGIXS AGAIX.

Butler, wanted by the governments of the United States, France and England for the crime of mail robbery and in Kansas for de frauding the Kansas City national bank of $100,000, has been arrested here. He made a daring break for lib erty by jumping off a sixty foot ein baTikment, was recaptured and finally landed safely in Jail. When searched a number of letters, all addressed to Portland. Ore., merchants from points along the Seattle and International railway in this state and British Co lumbia were found In his possession, all containing checks or money orders. When closely questioned Bell stated that he and his companion had stolen a mail pouch from a truck in front of the Seattle depot last Sunday morning and had secured J1.700 in checks and money orders, J700 of which they had converted into cash. The police had received telegraphic information that Bell was in this city and after locating him placed him and a companion named Schreiber under arrest. Both men submitted peaceably, but when Just in front cf the jail Bell broke away and jumped over the em bankment, larltling in the railroad yards below. In the confusion Schrei ber was released and walked off but was recaptured. The police boarded a street car and hurried to the foot of the incline to head off Bell, and after a hunt among the hundreds of cars the officers, assisted by about 50 other men, finally caught him and took him to prison. It is alleged that Bell is the same man who was 'captured at Denver, Colo., October 3, 1903, and who made a sensational escape from the detectives as the train was coming to a stop in the depot at Philadelphia vhither he was being taken. Under various aliases the best known being Hammond and Crosby, he has operated from one end of the country to the other.

Kansans have taught a new art in the construction of their pavilion in the palace of ag riculture at the Louisiana Purchase exposition. It is the art of using products ;f the "field even as minerals are employ ed in mosaics; an art of inlaying with cereals Just as gems are used in orna mentation. In the decorations that are thus wrought the visitor learns that nature has tinted kernels of corn all the col ors of the rainbow, that the husks can be woven and pleated to the same ef fect as dainty fabrics; that stalks, when polished, take on more lustre than bamboo cane when similarly treated and that poppy seeds can glis ten even as agates do. The central piece of this Kansas pa vilion consists of a platform 30 feet from the ground, supported on four square columns and bearing a steer that is six feet tall and 12 feet long a steer made of corn, yet so true to life as to give the impression that the natural hide, hoofs and horns hava been preserved by the taxidermist's art. Corn kernels of four colors were used, in the construction of this novel steer light and dark red, white and blue, the latter for the eyes and the tips of the horns. Every kernel was ap plied separately to the surface and the shading so artistically done that the best Judges of cattle in the west have not only pronounced the work perfect but have declared the steer a prize winner. Grasses and grains form the only ornamentation of the pillars and fa cades of this central piece, and the ef fect is an agricultural poem that speaks of the prairie state's wealth in soil. At one corner of the pavilion, on a supporting column that is decorated with grains, rests a globe representing the earth, which supports the figure of a boy, made of corn grits, and moulded as perfectly as if a sculptor naa cnisei ed it from marble. At the side of this figures is a huge cornucopia, from which a continuous stream of wheat pours over the globe, symbolical of Kansas supplying the world with the cereal. This effect is made possible by small elevators run by electricity within the supporting column which carry the grains back to the cornucopia. A companion piece, at another corner, is the figure of an Indian in corn, and here again the beautiful coloring of the kernels is brought out with startling effect, the sagave appearing as if the product of the painter's brush, yet as surance is given that not a particle of pigment was added to the. tinting pro vided by nature. On three of the booths corn husks form the principal decorations, and a few feet away the effect Is that of deli cate cream colored silk interwoven." The facades of one booth are studded with the points of husks, on a second, box pleating is the effect, and on a third the basket pattern. Rows of brilliant colored corn stalks alternate with white segments of cobs and again are arranged series of ears of corn, some of red, others of darker tint and still others of blue. Large vases, four feet fn height, oc cupy pillars in the center of the pa vilion and you "are informed that they also are made from corn. It hns only been with infinite care REGAINED PERFECT HEALTH.

First, it was necessary to collect agri cultural material from all over Kan sas, in order that the assortment of color might be sufficient; then, follow ing painted models, the different tint ed ears were grouped nd applied to surfaces of wood or outer material. Each ear of corn was sawed in two, then firmly nailed in place, following the pattern, and the men who comple ted the task were skilled in the arts as well as in the trades. Charles H. Kassabaum, of Atchison. Kan., designed and built this unique pavilion, which is one of the first to be completed in the palace of agricul ture. OUT OF BUSINESS. "I have owned a fine terrier dog for the last three years," said a Pitts burg resident in beginning his story, "and he had always stuck close to the house until one day last fall. Then he turned up missing, and after a day or two a colored man brought him back and I had to hand over a dollar. "A week later the dog disappeared again, to be returned by the same man, who claimed to have found him two miles away. I handed over an other dollar, but did some thinking. "When Jack left the ranch for the third time within a month, and was brought home for the third time by the same inoncent looking and be nevolent minded individual, I began to overhaul the wood pil to find the concealed darkey. I borrowed a bull dog of a friend and tied him up In the shed, and I hired a man to sit beside the dog "ind keep his eye peeled.

John Clevea Short Harrison for many years a well known citizen of Indianapolis is dead at Los Angeles of paralysis. He was born at Vincennes, Ind., May 7, 1829, the only child of Benjamin and Louisa Smith (Bonner) Harrison and grand son of President William Henry Har rison. He was a government director of the Union Pacific railroad for eight years seven under Grant and one year under Hayes. In 1891 he removed his family to Los Angeles. He will be buried here.

The trees on which they settled have been broken down and bananas and mulberry trees have been stripped, even the bark of the mulberry trees be ing eaten.

Kansas City Democrats probably arc row recalling that adage about a house divided against itself. Judge Adams fined Senator Burton exactly the amount alleged to have been received from the Rialto com pany. The Minneapolis Journal answers the question: "What's the matter with Kansas?" by saying: "It's too much Burton." Every time the expectations of the world are aroused by the apparent Im minence of a battle in Asia, the Rus sians run away. Senator Quay appears to have changed his mind at the last minute and concluded not to nominate Pennypacker for supreme justice. The news that Hearst will spend $20. 000 for hotel space in St. Louis during convention, is calculated to give an In creased impetus to his boom. Having nothing to discuss in the way of Republican presidential nominations, the big Republican newspapers are de voting their space to the Democratic aspirants. The result in the Third ward again called to mind that famous saying about fooling the people, credited to Abraham Lincoln. Truly, you can't fool all the people all the time. Chicago is the first American city to undertake municipal ownership and operation of street railways. If the ex periment prove successful others may be expected to follow her lead. The programme of the Democratic re organizers appears to be to use Parker to kill off Hearst and use Hearst to kill off Parker.

Easy, wasn't it? The Hearst theory is that the only way to beat Roosevelt is for the Dem ocrats to nominate a man with a rep utation as a trust buster and the New York editor's managers point to the supreme court decision in the anthra cite case.

Discussing the expenditure of the national government the New York Tribune says: "For the first thres quarters of 1902-'03 J60.72S.000 was spent on the navy; for the first three-quarters of 1903-'04 its cost whs $75,002,000. The cost of the military establishment fell from $!)2,646,000 to $38,169,000. Civil and miscellaneous expenses increased from $96, 75!),i00 to $104,363,000, and dis bursements for pensions rose from $105,712,000 to $108,460,724; but a saving of $2,000,000 has been made In Indian expenditures, and a .saving of $3,O0o,o0c in the government's interest account. The year now three-fourths finished promises to end with a substantial bal ance to the nation's credit. The last quai a expenses are always relative ly light, and the present surplus should insily be more than doubled by Ju'y 1.

Six Thousand Bales Ordered Turned Orer to Receiver. New York, April 7. The disposal of the surplus of 6,000 bales of cot ton that had been pledged by Sully Co. with the Corn Exchange bank was settled quickly today before U. S. Commissioner Alexander, sitting as a special examiner. The commissioner with the approval of all the parties to the controversy decided to recom mend to the court that the bank should turn over the surplus to the receivers of Sully Co., with the un derstanding that the F .V. Reynolds company of Providence did not waive its claim because of this disposition of the matter. The dispute was between the Sully company creditors and the Reynolds company. The investigation before Commis sioner Alexander, which began a week ago, brought by the receivers of D. J. bully Co. to determine what lia bility if any was held by Edwin Haw- ley and others In the cotton pool, was continued today, Mr. Hawley being the first witness. He was again ques tioned by Elihu Root, special counsel for the receivers. He had his check book with him, and in answer to prac tically a repetition of the questions at the first hearing with others added, testified to many entries showing that he drew checks for various sums in connection with his cotton deals. One check was for $44,000, payable to John W. Gates, one was to L. C. Weir for $44,880, and another to A. W. Burchard for $44,880. It was also shown that Hawley had received about $500,000 in connection with the deals. and that much of it had been paid out by him to others, including Gates, Weir and Burchard. One profit pay ment to Ray. according to the check book, was $484,966, the witness re ceiving an equal amount. On March 18. a check for $82,420 was paid to Sully Co., to "balance cotton account." The witness could" not recall the pur pose of a check for $30,000 paid to Sully Co., on September 4, 1903. In connection with 13 checks for a total of about $500,000 received from Sully Co., to Hawley's order during the five months including March of this year, the witness identified vouch ers signed by him or his secretary. Questioned by Mr. Root, the witness said the purchases of cotton by Suily Co., in which he was concerned. were made with his knowledge. Mv. Ray, however, had given such orders on his, Hawley's, authorization. Haw ley said that he and Mr. Ray frequent ly met at the Waldorf hotel and that they discussed the cotton "market. Mr. Hawley told of a dinner at the Wal dorf at which there were present John W. Gates, Mr. Ray, Mr. Sully. Mr. Burchard and himself. Mr. Gates gave the dinner, he said, and they talked cotton. As a result of this, he said, an order was given to purchase 10,000 bales of cotton for the account of each man present. The day before the Sully failure the witness told Sully he would furnish mon ey to protect his. Hawley s. account. Prior to March 17 nothing about margins was done because it had not been neces sary. The market always advanced after he had purchased, the witness said. "Please tell me what took place on March 17?" "Mr. Sully came to my office to walk home with me, but returned to his of fice. He was to meet me later at the Waldorf and he said at the Waldorf he might need money. 1 told mm l wouia protect my account." "Did Mr. Sully indicate that he needed money, aside from your account?" "Yes." "Do you know what he needed the mon ey for?" "No." DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The funeral of II. W.

MAYORJjUVARY. Sajs He Won't Appoint Police Committee Friday. Doesn't Know Whether JHcCoI luni Will Resign. HE lSJi'T UNFRIENDLY. Chief Says He Has No 111 Will Toward Green. Mr. Howa 51 a j Remain as Chair man Police Committee. Mayor Bergundthal will not appoint the new police committee, and other council committees, at the Friday night meeting. Evidently the difficulties of the undertaking have not yet been suc cessfully ironed out. "I won't be ready to appoint any com mittees Friday night. Don't know when I will appoint them," said the mayor today. "It is reported that yi have already selected the men for the police com mittee. Is this true?" "If anybody knows so much about it, they ought to go ahead and tell who they are," said the mayor. "Has McCollum resigned as chief of police?" "No," said the mayor. "Will he resign?" "I don't know," was the mayor's re sponse. Chief McCollum was asked today whether or not he will resign his posi tion. He said: "I have no intention of resigning. I want to say that I am not unfriendly to Mr. Green, the newly elected council man. Of course, I hoped that Mr. Wolf would be elected, because he is my friend. Mr. Green opposed me for the position of secretary of the Grocers' as sociation solely for the reason that the man who was running against me was a personal friend of his. But I have no ill will for Mr. Green." Samuel T. Howe, who is likely to be retained as chairman of the police committee, said today: "I don't have any idea who will be placed on this committee. I am will ing to serve wherever the mayor puts me." "Is Chief McCollum to be let out?" "I don't know a thing about it." In spite of the general air of inno cence which all three of these gentle men assume, it is known that there is "something doing" of importance in police circles, and it would not sur prise anybody familiar with the situ ation to hear of Chief McCoIlum's "resignation" at any time. There is one report that Frank Stahl Is to be reappointed as chief of po lice. Air. Stahl is living in town, and is eligible to appointment. He took a great deal of interest in the recent election, and supported C. V. "Wolf. Mayor Bergundthal has certainly reached a crisis in his official career, and a false step will be disastrous. One prominent city official said today "If Bergundthal retains McCollum as chief of police, he might just as well give up all idea of being a can didate for re-election. People have got this police department sized up for exactly what it is, and they are go ing to hold the mayor responsible. His plan of turning control of the de partment over to the chief and the police committee will not work. The law places the responsibility on him and he will have to stand the racket In my opinion, Bergundthal has just one chance to square himself with the temperance people of Topeka, and that is to make a complete change in the police department, and close the joints. There are more joints running now than when Parker was mayor, and they are running just as wide open as they did then. Then the city was get ting: $3,000 a month from them, and they were paying it willingly. Who is getting that $3,000 a month now? That's the question. If Mayor Bergundthal would keep his skirts .clear of' this muddle. h.e must act. and act mighty promptly, too. I, for one, do not be lieve that Bergundthal would take a cent of money improperly, but the way things look would be enough to queer him as a candidate for mayor. "That deal in releasing McCollum from bond will hurt Bergundthal. It savors too much of a scheme to evade the laws. Law and order people can not afford to be parties to such trick ery. "Law and order people have express ed their lack of confidence in Wolf, and if they had a chance, they would condemn McCollum even more em phatically. Things are too suspicious. Bergundthal will have to cut away all this shadowy portion of his adminis tration." New Police Rules. One of the most gigantic jokes con nected with the present police admin istration is the code of rules which is being considered with view to adop tion. There are 170 of these rules, some of them covering several pages of typewritten matter. To publish them all would require a book of up wards 100 pages. They were drawn up by Chief McCollum, on the plan of the rules for the Kansas City, Mo., police force, and some of them are very laughable. Mayor Bergundthal and Samuel T. Howe have been going through these rules and cutting out the rubbish, but while they have eliminated about one third .of the original list, there is noth ing of much value in the other two thirds. The rules seem to seek to set up some sort of a reorganization of the police department, establishing the supremacy of the police committee by inference. The law makes the mayor the one who is really responsible for the police force. It would cost a large sum to publish these rules in book form, as proposed, and they would not last to exceed one year. Every change in administration would consider it beneath its dignity to adopt anything of the sort as a heritage from its predecessor. In Kansas City, under metropolitan police rules, it is an entirely different thing. There the board is a permanent organization, and the rules are of some real value. "Of course when you get right down to it." admitted Mayor Bergundthal, "it is the mayor who is in control of the police department. The police commit tee can make these rules if it wants to, but I suppose I could put these rules into efftct without the consent of the committee, if I desired. The object is to give a sort of basis of permanency to the police force, and allow it to be managed more on the civil service plan." Mayor Bergundthal's idea is all right, but his system of rules seem to be too theoretical for any practical use. If the mayor is as anxious to save money as he professes to be, he can save some by sticking this mess of rules Into his waste basket, and writing out on a sheet of foolscap, to be posted at police headquarters, all the "rules" which are of any use to the police force as organ ized at present. GAN'TJIAVE IT. City Railway Withdraws Sup port from Hall Team. Won't Furnish a Park or Make Subscription. MAY END THE MATTER. Likely to Kill the Ball Team Entirely. Directors Will Discuss Changed Conditions Tonight. Despite its frequently stated and re iterated intention to provide a park for the Topeka baseball team of the Mis souri Valley association .the Street Railway company this morning an nounced, through a letter from Presi dent L. E. Myers of Chicago, that no aid or assistance in that direction would be given, and that the street car company has washed its hands of the entire affair. Mr. Myers concluded his letter by saying that he wished to hear no more of the matter. Tis step was taken, according to the contents of the letter, directly because the trus tees of Washburn college demanded that an extension of the railway track be built from its present terminal op posite President Plass' residence to the baseball athletic field. The distance between these two points is about 600 feet and it is declared that the cost of the extension would be over $1,200. Mr. Myers indicated that he was disap pointed at the action of Washburn col lege, and then stated that the railway company's support to the ball team, both in the way of the promised park, and the promised subscription of $250, will not be forthcoming. Upon being advised of the attitude of Mr. Myers, Secretary Ward of the lopeKa Baseball association, at once issued notices of a meeting to be Held tonight at the Commercial club.rooms, at which it is imperative that the ex ecutive committee and the board of directors be present.. The meeting will be called at 8:30 o'clock. "Be sure," stated Mrv'ard. "to announce that everyone connected with the associa tion must be on hand. This matter is crucial in the existence of the team. I do not want to talk about the prob able outcome of the matter. But what ever is done," concluded Secretary Ward, "must be done now, and right now." The park matter has been the will-o'-the-wisp of the Topeka association since President Shiveley of the Missouri Valley league gave the franchise to this city. On the night of the first gather ing, held in the Topeka Athletic asso ciation rooms, Frank B. Kelly, secretary of the railway company, with head quarters here, announced emphatically that the park would be provided by his company. "There need be no worry on that score, he said. Acting upon that promise the association was formed, and a directorate elected. Upon repeated questions as to where the park would be built, the railway company stated that the matter was undecided, but that the park would be ready In time for the playing season, May 1. The directors constituted .themselves into squads to work the town tor. subscriptions. They gathered up about $750. President L. E. Myers of the railway company then came to Topeka and met -with his board of directors. They decided to lease Washburn park and fit it up with a good grandstand of large seating capac ity and put the grounds into good shape. Mr. Myers, according to the under standing of the directors, promised to subscribe in behalf of the railway com pany, $250 towards the team. He ap peared at the meeting of the board of directors and assured them of his in tentions to help out the team In every way, and indicated his desire to also aid Washburn materially by leasing and fixing up the park. Matters went along swimmingly. The Washburn athletic board of control signed a con tract with the railway company.agf ee ing to lease the park for five years to the company, on the condition that a $250 grandstand would be put In. Then the contract went to the board of trus tees for approval. There it met with satisfactory treatment, only that body thought that the company ought to extend the street car line the extr.i 600 feet, out to the park. They also asked to have the contract terminated at any time, by paying back a per centage to the railway company's im provements. Apparently the railway company did not realize that any official dealing with Washburn college must be sanc tioned by the board of trustees before it becomes final. The action of the athletic board of control was merely a preliminary act to get the sentiment of the student members of that body. The contract loaded with the condition in calling for an extension of the track was sent Mr. Myers. He was sick in bed and the letter lay unopened in his office for over two weeks. Meanwhil" the baseball "fans" here in town were worrying over the probable outcome of the matter. Manager Kelly cooled their fevered brows by announcing both to the reporters and to the directors that regardless of the outcome of the Washburn matter, the park would be forthcoming. That quieted the waves. But today, comes the news that the railway company not only withdraws its offer to give a park, but also cancels its promised subscription -.t $250. And then Mr. Myers absolutely calls off all the railway company's re lations with the association. That is the story, and it may mean the abandoning of the team. About $800 has been subscribed, of which $500 has been collected. The franchise cost $300, the protection in the National associa tion $15, and a hundred and one small matters have eaten up a big share of the collections. The remainder would all have to be turned over to the Spald ing Athletic company for uniforms, and to restaurants and hotels for the pre liminary accommodations and expenses of the signed players. It is unfortunate that the matter has gone so far. Manager Alberts' has given up his position to take charge of the team. He has signed fourteen players to be in Topeka this season, if the franchise is thrown up, the $300 paid for it wil lbe forfeited, and the small ex penses have eaten up considerably more. Topeka has had a long wrestle in an effort to get a team, and It seems as though about the only thing to do, is to tie crepe on the front door and slip quietly out of the back, when a Topeka baseball team Is talked of. An effort will however be made to night to resurrect the matter. Some of the directors feel that the financial investments and the contracts with players, ought to be regarded and an attempt be made to go on with the team regardless of the action of the City Railway company. To consider that matter, the meeting is called to night. It is therefore imperative that everyone officially connected with the ","lf!!?!!f'M,!'!II!!!'liti(fffiiffffi!tft!Mlfiii!itiiiiM tiiin"!Mi?tM.tiM!!i'"?nmitiiMMi!Hiiipf if nntt '114.. llii.iiillMll tU.ll, til. liioliillt tin. n.inii,,,,,,,,,,! ll.,l.i..ii.lllilllillli..ili.l.ililiiilii.lll,i.li,.,:ii1.ili ii.i I Must be H One Thousand and Forty-seven Drummer's Samples of 1 MEN'S WHITE DRESS VESTS H Of course, Best ones go first Please come as quick as you can, as most of these Vests are worth $3.50, but you know AUGUST SELLS FOR LESS niinnifnnmniHninnn! niii X A A tcJrlrickl HHr Dr. Home's The Coming of a Doctor to Locate permanently in a town has no half-way significance upon the suffering humanity of a city either he is going to benefit them greatly or just the reverse.

His advertisements were bold, startling, but convincing; the testi monials were signed by the most reputable citizens. Men. commenced to Investigate, and visited his offices, and the most convincing and pathetic scenes were seen In and around his reception rooms. People who had been "iiiffering with rheumatism, lame back and sciatica for years were being cured by a method that is as skillful, pain less and quick as it is wonderful. Just think of a man who could hardly walk for years, all crippeled up with rheumatism, after taking one of h's treatments, dancing around the room with Joy.

The thing that tne directors. win nave ;u face If they contemplate going on with the team, is the park. It would cost about $1,000 to put up a new one. It was only with almost fatal results, physically, that the present amount, J750. was obtained. Some of the interested parties believe it impossible to raise enough money to build a new park, while a few feel the othT wav. The solution. If there is one tonlsht, will probably be an effort to collect f:-l more, lease the Washburn park and build a grandstand. To attempt to build a park of its own this late In the season seems out of the question for the association to undertake. OLDCROVD WON. Horace Cowgill Elected Presi dent of Washburn Athletics. The old regime won at Washburn college this morning in the election f officers for the athletic association for the next year. By a majority of 65 votes it was decided to continue the athletics as they have been handled within the last two years. The following were elected: Horace Cowgill, president; Elmer Hill, vice president; Sumner Pressy, treasurer; Minna Bauer, secretary. The total vote cast was 270. The fight dates back to the election of the football captain last year after the season. Some of "Chick" Cunning ham's friends felt that the big tackle was entitled to the leadership of the eleven. Captain Dadisman had. how ever, proven himself such a capable man, that the majority of the players, and the sentiment of the school was for his re-election. This was done. At once a fight commenced brewing over the election of officers for the athletic association. The friends of Omar Mehl, who is a crack all-around athlete, placed his name in nomination for presidency of the association. He was backed by Cunningham. For three months past, the fight has been growing more bitter every day. The inside issue, according to talk of the students on the campus, was that if Mehl was elected president, he would appoint Cunningham on the board of control, and that it was said that Coach Kennedy would not handle the team if such an appointment were made. This story is taken purely from gossip among the students. Cunningham, however, puts himself into the clear with this statement which he made a few days ago. "Tf Mehl is elected I will not get on the board of control because that is not on the programme. No matter what the outcome of this deal, I will be back to play football next year." The detailed vote waa as follows: For president. Total. Omar Mehl 97 Horace Cowgill 141 For vice president. James Stewart 79 sold FRIDAY ft -kirk 1 7 l Q At IT S,f INVESTIGATION IS MADE Now Method Dr. Home Located a Needle in Her Hand. On Wednesday night. March 30, I called upon Dr. Home to have him examine my hand, as I had broken a needle in it. Thanks to Dr. Home and his h'g X-Ray machine, he located the needle, and as the doctor don't do any cutting, I called upon Dr. Menninger, who removed it for me. Dr. Home told me all that he wanted for his trouble and X-Rav examination was the needle, which I have gladly given to him. MRS. B. F.

This certifies that Dr. Home this day has exam ined my leg for a ball that has been in it fr,r nearly twenty years. He did this for me absolutely free of charge, and found the bullet. I gladly recommend Dr. Home as a thoroughly reliable physician, who understands the X-Ray thoroughly, and" will also do as he agrees to do. C. W. LYMAN. 722 Buchanan St. Elmer Hill 163 For secretary. Minna Bauer 220 For treasurer. James McClure 73 Sumner Pressey 166 The majority of the students, as the vote shows, felt that if these condi tions were actual, that it would be poor policy to change the present ad ministration of athletics at the college. The vote, is not a rellection upon any one, but rather a determined stand to keep the athletic affairs of the college out of fights, and continue them on the safe plan of the past two years. Like any other college fight this one will probably wear off shortly, and will not have any serious effects In the way of loss of pood players. Mehl is one of the best athletes ever turned out in the state, and regardless of to day's election, he will be back on the team next year. He has indicated this intention to his friends. If ever an op portunity comes for his election to the presidency, or other office of honor within the control of the athletic as sociation, it ought to be done, for he certainly deserves much from the fol lowers of the blue. He has done as much as any man. and more than many to give Washburn its magnifi cent athletic record. riVGUIRE 0HC ulORE. No Opposition to His Kenomina tion in Oklahoma. Guthrie, Okla., April 7.

The Iron Trade Review discussing market con ditions in its current issue says: The uncertainty concerning the exact outcome of the present negotiations between producers of Lake Superior is carried over to next week, the New York meeting having been postponed to April 12. The development of the past month have not been such as to promise any change Lu the attitude of the merchant ore firms, and in this connection it is intimated by large producing consuming interests that i" there is no association this year, none need be expected in following years. Meantime further long time ore con tracts are under negotiations, which will make the market price of Lake Superior ore from year to year less of a factor in the iron industry than ever.

G TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL THUHSD AY EVENING. APRIL 7, 1904 REEDERWOfl IT. Got "First Blood" in Fight on Timber Law. Thinks It Is Cause of Much Trouble. COME BEF011E HOUSE. There Will Be a Vote on lieeder Measure. Gossip About 31r. Calderhead's Senatorial Aspiration. Washington, April 5. Representa tive Reeder is receiving congratula tions over the fact that he has won out with, the committee on Irrigation in the matter of his bill repealing the stone and timber acts and the com mutation clause of the homestead act. It will be remembered that one day while Mr. Reeder was not on guard. Chairman Mondell of the com mittee on irrigation and Representa tive Lacey of the committee on public lands, both of whom are opposed to the measure, conspired to have Mr. Reeder's bill, which the latter had had referred to the committee on Irri gation, re-referred to the committee on public lands. Their purpose In do ing this was to get the bill out of the hands of the friendly committee on irrigation Into the hands of the hostile committee on public lands. When Mr. Reeder found it out. he was as mad as a hornet, and set to work to undo the work of his enemies. This week he finally succeeded in getting a vote in the committee on Irrigation on the Question of jurisdiction, and by a vote of six to five the committee on irriga tion decided to have the bill taken out of the hands of the committee on pub lic lands and returned to them. This was accordingly done, much to the de light of Mr. Reeder, who is now hav ing daily hearings upon the measure, and thinks he Is in a fair way to have It favorably reported to the house. The final hearing will be held on Sat urday of this week, and Mr. Reeder confidently expects that it will result favorably to him, and that the bill will go before the house early next week. He has thought for a long time that if he could get a favorable report upon the measure and have it referred to the house, its passage would be as sured, and it may be that he will have an opportunity to test the sentiment in the house on the proposition to amend the land laws, which Mr. Reed er thinks have resulted in more abuses than most any laws now on the statute books. A writer in the Washington Post feels that he has discovered something In the fact that Kansas is not the first state to hold a state convention and declare for President Roosevelt. The morning af ter the Kansas convention in March, the eastern papers were big with headlines giving Kansas the credit for leading the Roosevelt procession, and hailing it as an event of great political significance, as indeed it was. This writer goes on to say that the Republican convention of South Carolina, held on February 24 of this year, more than two weeks in ad vance of the Kansas convention, was the first to declare for the present occu pant of the White House for renomina tion. He further adds that the Repub lican convention of Florida was held at an even earlier date, and passed ring ing resolutions declaring for the presi dent to succeed himself. All of which is very interesting from a technical (standpoint, but the writer evidently for gets that there is a wide difference in the action of the conventions of these southern Democratic states and that of Kansas, now one of the most depend able of Republican states. The action of the Florida and South Carolina Re publican state conventions is of mighty email interest to the rest of the country particularly as they did only the ex pected thing, and the writer in the Post has taken these two southern strong holds of Democracy too seriously. The only way in which they could possibly have attracted attention would have been to declare against the president and in view of the sentiment existing throughout the country it is doubtful if even this action would have caused much more than a ripple on the surface An event of considerable interest in Kansas political circles In Washington this week was the statement made by Representative Calderhead that he would probably be a candidate to suc ceed Senator Burton. Judge Calder head does not wish to be understood in any way as announced his candidacy for the place, as he would regard such an announcement as improper at this time. What he said was In answer to the inquiry of a newspaper correspon dent, and he was particular to specify that his expression was not to be con structed as an announcement of his candidacy for the senate. Notwith standing his carefully worded inter view, it is perfectly understood that Mr. Calderhead is squarely in the race, and in view of the strength which he rallied to his support during the sena torial campaign of last winter, his can didacy is of considerable interest. In the Republican caucus at Topeka last winter, he received the entire fourteen votes of the Fifth district, as well as an additional vote from the Big Sev enth, making him fifteen votes in all What his strength would be in view of the changed political conditions is of course a matter of conjecture. In pon tics Mr. Calderhead has been identified s neutral between the two factions in Kansas, although he has- been re garded as on rather intimate terms with the machine element on more than one or two occasions. Judge Calderhead is serving his fourth term in the house, and is one of the most influential men of the Kansas delegation in congress. He has done much good work as a member of the house committee on banking and currency, and especially on the invalid pensions committee has he been active and influential. He is a veteran of the civil war, and has devoted himself to legislation for his former comrades in arms with an untiring zeal not sur passed by any other member of the house. He digs away at pension cases day in and day out, and keeps two (secretaries employed almost as stead ily as himself on that work. Of course there are other members of the Kansas delegation who are looking with longing eyes upon Sena tor Burton's seat, although they are saying nothing at present, because it would not seem proper to do so. Rep resentative Curtis, who was a candi date for the seat held by Senator Long Js of course expected to get into the race, and Representatives Scott and Bowersock have been mentioned as possible candidates. In addition to the congressional aspirants for senatorial honors. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Oeneral Bristow is credited with a well developed ambition to occupy a seat at the senate end of the capitol. Alto gether the contest promises to be one of the most interesting events in Kan sas politics for years. The Washington Post says: "A few days ago I witnessed In your house of representatives an Incident that gave' me no small amount of pleas ure, and I forthwith wrote about it to my home paper," said' Mr. George Grainger, a well-to-do business man of Liverpool, England, at the Raleigh. "I was in the public gallery listening to the proceedings at the time that the speaker called upon one of the younger looking members to take the chair. I have been about in a great many coun tries, and it has for years been a sort of hobby of mine to listen to parliamentary doings of the rarious lawmaking bodies. It was with some interest, therefore, that I watched this young man take the gavel, for I guessed that, being a neophyte, he would betray a certain amount of awkwardness or at least ex hibit some hesitation and nervousness. "Not a bit of it. On the contrary, he went to work as if presiding over great assemblages had been his chief voca tion In life. Not in the house of lords, nor in the commons, nor in the French, German, or Italian parliaments did I ever see a veteran presiding officer who showed more skilled knowledge, more dignity, or address. I learned afterward that the name of the gentleman was Campbell, and that he hails from the state of Kansas, and the minute I heard his name I said, oh, ho! he has Scoth blood in him, and that accounts for his shrewd wit and manly bearing." LESLIE WALLACE. ENTER THE YALU. CContinued from First Page.) consequence of hot boxes and noted the slow transportation of troopB over this line, the service on which com pares unfavorably with the trans-Si-beian and Usuri roads. Insufficient fuel and the absence of facilities for providing water, it is further reported also hinder efficient services. Decoration for Stark. St. Petersburg, April 7. Vice Ad miral Stark has received the order of St: Vladimir, and Rear Admiral Prince Ukhtomsky has been decorated with the order of St. Anislaus in recognition of the able defense on the occasion of the Japanese torpedo boat attack on Port Arthur February 8. The order of St. Vladimir has been bestowed upon Captain Reitzenstein for his able handling of the Vladivos tok squadron. Fleet of Transports Sighted. Seoul, April 7. An American mis sionary who has just returned from northern Korea reports having seen a fleet of 40 transports, some of which were very large, off Haiju, 60 miles north of Chemulpo. It is supposed that the transport are carrying a part of the second Japanese army, the first three divisions of which are said to be destined to land at Yongampho. Japanese Fireships Itaiserl. St. Petersburg, April 7. A special dis patch from Port Arthur describes how the cruisers Bayan and Novik during the attack on Port Arthur on March 27, covered the torpedo boat destroyer Silni which was aground, from the ene my's fire, hauling her off the shoal and bringing her back to port. It further describes how subsequently the whole Russian fleet sailed out of the harbor and formed line of battle ready to ac cept a combat which the Japanese de clined. Three of the Japanese fireships sunk in attempts to block the harbor have been raised and towed into the harbor at Port Arthur, where they are being armed with rapid fire guns for service against the enemy. China on Verge of War. New York, April 7. Reports are said to have reached an ambassador here, says a Herald dispatch from Berlin, to the effect that China is on the verge of throwing in her lot with Japan. The first defeat on land for Russia will, it is asserted, be the signal for a forward movement on the part of the Celestial empire. Japan, the correspondent adds, shows no anxiety for help, realizing that China's intervention may cause more embarrassment than profit. Panic at Posslet Bay. Shanghai, April 7. It has been learned here that the Russians have planted submarine mines off the coast of Takushan. about 60 miles west of the mouth of the Yalu river, as well as in the estuary of the Yalu. The Japanese army in Korea has now reached the south bank of the Yalu river at different points. Refugees who have arrived here from Korea assert that the fear that the Japanese may land at Posslet bay, In Manchuria and about 65 miles southwest of Vladivostok, is causing a general exodus inland. Even the Rus sian garrisons in that locality are re treating, leaving only small outposts behind them. TWO TRAGIC DEATHS Within Half an Hour Near Broadway Tabernacle. New York, April 7. Two tragedies which have occurred within half an hour of each other at Broadway and Thirty-fourth street caused much ex citement among persons viewing the night scenes on the most frequented corners of New York after dark. On the sidewalk before the abandon ed Broadway tabernacle, a youth was noticed pacing back and forth, weep ing. Curious crowds stopped to gaze at the y-ung man who, however, spoke to none. For nearly half an hour he walked in front of the old church and then, in plain view of hundreds, sud denly drew a vial of carbolic acid from his pockets, drank the contents and fell in convulsions. He was carried into a drug store but could not be saved. He was Identified as a mes senger who had been thrown out of work and apparently had eaten noth ing in two days. Excitement over the suicide had just begun to subside when a portly man fell frbm the third floor window of a building close by. He struck the Broadway sidewalk on his head and was carried Into the same drug store where he died in a few minutes. The unfortunate was a rubber stamp man ufacturer who lived in the building from which he fell. After returning from the street where he aided the dy ing messenger, he had determined to clean the windows and lost his bal ance. His wife, in another room learn ed of the accident, through the wild screams of a parrot, which hanging by the window saw its master fall to his death. Rockefeller Gives $500,000. Baltimore. April 7. John D. Rockefel ler has given to the Johns Hopkins hospital the sum of $500,000 and the amount has been accepted by the board of trustees of that institution. The in come of the hospital was seriously af fected by the destruction of many houses belonging to it in the recent fire. The expressed purpose of Mr. Rockefel ler's gift is to restore that income to Its original proportions, which will enable the hospital to keep up the great volume of charitable treatment which it has maintained in the past. BOMB FOR KING. Attempt Made on Life of Al fonso of Spain, During a Tisit to an Exposition at Barcelona. TWO PEASANTS HURT. One Person Arrested on Suspi cion by Police. Mews Makes a Beep Impression at Koine. Madrid, April 7. An official tele gram from Barcelona states that as King Alfonso was leaving the exhibi tion a "pelard" exploded, injuring two peasants. One arrest was made. Excitement at Rome. Rome, April 7. The news of the at tempt on the life of Kine Alfonso by the explosion of a bomb as he was leaving the exhibition at Barcelona produced the deepest impression here, especially among: the members of the Spanish colony of Rome, which is quite numerous. King Victor Em manuel learned the news while pre siding at his weekly conference with the cabinet ministers, and he imme diately personally telegraphed to the Spanish king his warmest congratula tions on his escape. The papal secretary of state. Car dinal Merry Del Val, when informed of the attempt hastened with the news to the pope, who exclaimed: "Poor misguided souls. There is no excuse for their crime." The pope then instructed the papal secretary to telegraph the pontiff's congratulations to King Alfonso on his escape. Censorship Delays News. London, April 7. The Spanish em bassy here has npt received any Infor mation in regard" to the attempt made upon the life of King Alfonso at Barce lona. Dispatches from Madrid and Barcelona are anxiously awaited but owing to the strict censorship in Spain, especially in the case of such events as the one reported from Barcelona, some time may elapse belore details of the attack are received here. So far nothing has been received here beyond the Madrid dispatch announcing that an official telegram had been re ceived there from Barcelona saying that as' King Alfonso was leaving the exhi bition at Barcelona a bomb was ex ploded, two peasants were injured and one Individual was arrested. King Alfonso arrived at Barcelona yesterday for a fortnight's visit to Cat alonia He was accompanied by Pre mier Maura and War Minister Linares and a numerous suite. The visit of the king to Barcelona, which is the hotbed of republicanism, caused the greatest disquiet in Spain official quar ters, as it was feared the" republicans and socialists would vent on the king their hatred of the premier, whose strong measures in dealing- with the strike rioters had made him very un popular. As a preventive measure large numbers of anarchists and other suspects were arrested last week, and a cruiser, three gunboats and a large force of gendarmes were sent to Bar celona. The Spanish king was accorded a re spectful reception at Barcelona and shortly after his arrival attended a te deum at the cathedral. The streets were decorated with flags and lined by enormous crowds of people. It was estimated that there were 200,000 persons on the streets and the pressure was so great that the cordons of troops and police were repeatedly broken by the peoplewho were anxious to see their monarch, and the king was thus separated from his attendants. ROBBERS GET $1,500. Hold Up Governnr'nt Trading Post at Boss Fork, Idaho. Ross Fork, Idaho, April 7. The gov ernment trading post at this post 'has been held up by two masked men who secured about $1,500 in gold and silver. The robbers entered the store just as an employe named Pike was transfer ring the cash from the money drawers to the safe. Ordering him to hold up his hands, they bound and gagged Pike and then rifled the safe. The rob bers escaped with the plunder. J. E. Schwab Resigns. New York, April 7. Joseph E.

GO HALF II VICTORY. (Continued from First Page. porary organization. This became ap parent when the Hearst crowd were whipped in the stale committee and laid down in the contest to control tha comrrfittee in its recommendations con cerning the temporary organization. The Hearst crowd selected Judge A. M. Jackson, of Winfield, former con gressman from the Third district, as the Hearst candidate for temporary chairman, and the anti-Hearst crowd, which was for an uninstructed dele gation to the St. Louis convention, picked Claude Duval of Hutchinson. Duval was defeated in his home county for delegate to the state con vention, and this furnished ammuni tion to the Hearst people to fight him, but the anti-Hearst crowd controlled the state committee. Anti-Hearst Victory. Hugh Farrelly, .chairman of the com mittee, who is for Hearst, said that if the entire committee had been present it would have been close between Du val and Jackson, but a dozen or more proxies showed up in the committee meeting when the committee met in the parlors of the Carey last night, and the proxies were nearly all held by anti-Hearst men. The Hearst men discovered before the committee meeting that they were beaten and they laid down. J. W. Orr of Atchison, J. Mack Love of Arkansas City, and J. K. Fike, of Colby, ran things for the anti-Hearst crowd, while the other people, with Farrelly in the chair, were more deficient in leadership. Fike first moved that the roll be called and each member of the com mittee express his preference for chairman. Henry Block of Syracuse, tried to amend by having nominating speeches made first, but the anti Hearst people were against speeches and the amendment was lost by a vote of 17 to 12. Hearst Men Didn't Vote. Few of the Hearst men voted for temporary chairman at all, so that the vote stood 24 for Duval and only 4 for Jackson. J. G. Johnson, who was a Hearst boomer, asked if Duval was an accredited delegate to the convention. "We admit that he is not," said Orr. "Then," said Johnson, "I wish to be recorded as objecting to establishing the precedent of selecting a man for temporary chairman who is not a del egate in the convention." The action of the committee was on ly in the nature of a recommendation to the convention, and the Hearst men had already made up their minds to fight it out when the convention open ed. They knew they would have Chair man Farrelly on their side and they believed they had a show to win. The anti-Hearst crowd, on the other hand, claimed to have counted noses and said they had 400 of the 700 votes in the convention, but they admitted that it might be even closer. Charles MeCrum. secretary of the state committee, was recommended for temporary secretary, and B. L. Strother of Galena, as his assistant. WALSH OX GROUND. National Secretary Doins What He Can for Hearst. Wichita, April- 7. C O. Walsh, of Chicago, secretary of the Democratic national committee, is here helping along the Hearst boom. With him are Max F, Imphsen of Chicago, secretary of the National Leagne of Democratic clubs, and L. J. Coffey, of Hearst's Chicago American. The League of Democratic clubs is an organization that has been organizing for several months, the purpose of which is to boom Hearst for president. W. A. De Ford, of Ottawa, who has been at the head of the Hearst move ment in Kansas, was here early. John H. Atwood, who was conceded the election as national committeeman, also talked for Hearst, along with for mer Congressman A. M. Jackson and J. G. Johnson, retiring national com mitteeman. IX TOPEKA Al Gl'ST Democratic State Nominating Conven tion Date Is Fixed. Wichita, April 7. The Democratic state convention to nominate a state ticket will be held in Topeka on Aug ust 3. This was determined by the state central committee last night. J. Mack Love wanted the conven tion put off until September 1, and he made a motion to that effect but could not get a second. W. F. Petillon of Dodge City then moved that it be held August 3, and this carried. The piace had been determined upon by the committee last February. The basis of representation is the same as that of today's convention here, making a convention of 700 del egates.

Mihr-Hardy, she will be unable to accompany the Diunrosch organiza tion on the early part of the Parsifal tour. Mr. Damrosch has engaged Mme.

Washburn college will open Its base ball season in Topeka next Saturday with the College of Fmporia on Wash burn field. The Presbyterians are exceptionally strong this year, and with the crack squad of local colle gians a good game should result. The line-up for neither team has yet been determined, for it is the opening game for both the colleges. It was intended by Manager Leach to onen his season last week with Kansas university at Lawrence, but the people from Oread had their schedule cut up pretty badly by the faculty, and the game was conse quently declared off. Mr. Leach announced that the hold ers of season tickets are entitled to admission to Saturday's game. f TW0 BIG DFaYS FRIDAY and 1 vo iiss UNTRIMA1ED SHAPES All styles and Colors 29c 39c U9c AsK to See Mrs. Lacey's Tailor-Made Hats Special Styles and Special Prices Mrs. Etta Lacey, Mgr. i 603 KANSAS AVENUE.

This evening the judiciary committee cf the city council will meet at 7 o'clock for the purpose of deciding whether the Judges and clerks of the Tuesday's elec tion shall be paid double for their ser vices. It is claimed that they are en titled to full legal rates for counting the regular election ballots, and the fame amount for counting the votes on the bond proposition. City Attorney Spencer says that there Is not any law regulating the amount of jay for counting bond election ballots, and that the council can allow the Judges and clerks a reasonable sum, and they will have to take it. It is likely that the judiciary committeee will rec ommend that the judges and clerks be paid a dollar or so apiece for the bond election. Last year, when the vote was very much heavier, and there were two bon 1 propositions voted on, the city then allowed the Judges and clerks $5 api"oe for their extra services. Exclusive of the extra fees which may be allowed to the judges and clerks, the total cost of the recent election to the city was as follows: 1'ay for judges and clerk3 $254.00 Printing 124,000 ballots 155.00 Meals for judges and clerks 71.50 Pent cf voting places 100.00 Hauling voting booths 21.00 This election was not a very big finan cial graft for the Judges and clerks. In. the mayor eleetior.-s. the judges and cterks sometimes make as high as $20 apiece for their day's work. The highest lee received by any board was in the fourth precinct of the Second ward, where em h of the judges and clerks re ceived $5.50. and the supervisor JS.50. The supervisor in each precinct gets a dollar extra for taking the ballots out and back. The pay for counting ballots is pro vided by law; $2.50 is allowed for the first 25it ballots, or les? in case the vote ices not reach 250. Then tl per 100 is paid for all additional ballots, or major fraction of lu ballots.

Mr. DayliofT Makes ait Order About Teachers' Grades. I. L. Dayhoff, state superintendent of public instruction hps issued an ol der ordering that the practice of car rying grades of teachers from one ex amination to another :;hall cease. Mr. Dayhoff threatens that in counties where this practice is carried on that the county shall suffer by being de prived of the state aid for county teachers' institutes. In many counties credits are allowed by the county superintendent. Circu lars concerning county institutes wiih the following provisions have reached Mr. Dayhoff: "The holder of a valid certificate in this county at the date of the exami nation at the close of the institute, will be given credits of all grades of SO per cent and above toward the re newal of such certificate at the regu lar teachers' examination which will be held July 1 and 2. Provided such persons shall enroll in the institute and attend at least 15 days. Provided, further, that grades shall not be car ried from any valid certificate except the last one issued. "Note I Certificates must be in force on the date of July 1, 1904, to en title the holder to carry credits. "Note II The credits herein provid ed for will in no way affect the issu ance of a professional certificate. Ap plicants for professional certificates will be required to meet all conditions of the law which governs the issuance of such cei tificates. "The credits carried from the appli cant's last valid certificate will be car ried only to a certificate of. either first, second or third grade." Concerning this practice Mr. Day hoff has issued the following circular to county superintendents: "Your attention is called particu larly to the provisions of the certifi cate law. The only provision of the lnw for carrying trades is found in section 54, school laws of 1903. There is no nower given the county superin tendent or board of examiners or any other person to modify the law by adding provisions thereto. The carry ing of grades from one examination to another, other than provided in sec tion 5 4, the giving of credit on exam ination for attendance at an institute, other than is provided for in the pro fessional certificate, will render the certificates f-o issued illegal and void. "Any board paying money upon such certificate might be held liable for money so paid. Any person de prived of a certificate by reason of not having complied with the pseudo provisions hich are mentioned above would clearly have cause for action against the board of examiners. "The law provides the conditions under which certificates are granted. A faithful compliance with the law will be just to all and will protect teachers and boards." Mr. Dayhoff said today: "The only legal manner for the issuance of cer tificates is provided by law, and in every county where the law is not fol lowed the boards might be liable for the salaries paid to teachers not hold ing legal certificates. Nothing might come of it, but should a patron of the school choose to bring an action against a board for employing a teacher who held an illegal certificate, the patron might make considerable trouble. Unless the law is followed the counties may be deprived of state aid for county institutes." Excursion to Washington, D. C.

Junk Dealers Were Durning In sulation from Copper Wire. Mose Wasserman and P. Salzberger, two junk dealers, were arrested Wed nesday afternoon by Sheriff Lucas on the charge of stealing between 200 and 300 pounds of insulated copper wire. Dan Butler, a 17-year-old boy, was ar rested for the actual theft, and the junk dealers for taking it off his hands. Sheriff Lucas and Mr. H. F. Pankey of the Independent Telephone company, caught Salzberger and Wasserman burning the insulation from the wire, which had been cut up in short pieces. They were out in the country near the Updegraff farm, where they had a tire and were busily engaged in converting the valuable wire into bulk copper. The Butler boy stole the wire from the old street railway power house at Sec ond and Jefferson streets. Mr. Pankey was notified by telephone yesterday that two men were burning the insulation from some wire out in the country, and hastily calling Sheriff Lucas they drove out and caught the junk men. The In dependent company has lost insulated wire from time to time, and Mr. Pankey suspected that the wire had been stolen from the company, but last night Bert Patton. superintendent of the city rail way, discovered the theft at the aban doned power house, and he has fiied a complaint against the junk dealers and Butler. It is claimed that these junk dealers and others have purchased thousands of pounds of stolen copper wire in the last year, and after chopping it up into smali pieces, shipped it to Kansas City, where it was melted over. At one time last fall the police found nearly a car load of stolen copper and brass which was about to be shipped. The usual method of shipping brass and copper is to put it in barrels, and keep the bar rels concealed under piles of rags in the car.

Affctl Miser at Xcw Bedford, Mass., (iivinir Away His Property. New Bedford, Mass., April 7. Clark Hidley. who describes himself as "a miser." has announced to his friends that he will give away all of his prop erty before his death. Like Andrew Carnepie, he has reached the conclus ion that it is a disgrace to die rich. Ridley owns six or seven houses and is reputed to be worth, J15.000. He is So years old. He has worked hard all his life and until this winter lived in a little cabin partly underground and hoarded his money. Thus far this week Ridley has g-iven away three houses and lots. The first, comprising a house and lot in Camp bell street, was (riven to Catherine M. Ashley: the second, a house and lot in Shawmut avenue, went to Mrs. Laura Tripp, and a house and lot in Robeson street was given to Charles G. Allen. News of his action in giving sway his property has spread and today there was such a throng of people sur rounding his home, waiting to put in an application for a share of the prop erty, that a policeman was required to keep the crowd away. Agents of local charitable societies were on hand with the rest. "I have been thinking of giving some of my property away for some time." Ricilev said today, "but 1 kept delay ing. At my age, though, time begins o look short, so l oeciueo m h.-i. have given awav three houses and I've e-ot some more "left. There are two on Phawrrut avenue, one on Robeson street, one on Willis street and one on Mount Vernon street.'' "Do you intend to give the others away?" he was asked. "I suppose I've got to give them away soon," he said. I imagine vou have had numerous applications for gifts since you began to give these presents was suggested. "Yes. plenty of people have been here, but I prefer to select my beneficiaries. When I give, it will be to somebody who deserves it, that's one thing." M- Ridley said he had been a com mon 'laborer all his lire, and had ac quired his property by saving nealy all his earnings. Anv man can lay up money if he has a mind to." he asserted. "I never had no good times m my life." was the quick response. "I never even hired a horse to go to ride. I used to smoke and chesv when I was a young man. I gave up pmoking when I was 30 and chewing when I was 35: this was because I took habits to be a nuisance. I don't think man ought to drink, but liquor is not half as bad as tobacco." Mr. Ridley advocates his own plan of benevolence" as preferable to that of rich philanthropists. "The rich men," he says, "eive proper ty to some institution. That is not really a deed of charity. I have seen the failure of their way of giving and have tried to mend it. If a man has got something to give away he can give it to somebody that will appreciate it and do somebody some good."

ROCKEFELLER OETS BLAME Hill XoYispapor Kays He Is Behind N'crtlierti Securities Suit. St. Paul, Minn., April 7. James J. Hill, through his personal representa tives in St. Paul, is using his utmost elTorts. to swing the strong anti-Standard Oil sentiment in the northwest against Harriman and Pierce in the battle for the return of Northern Pa cific shares by the Northern Securities company. Mr. Hill's newspaper this morning puts forward John E. Rocke feller as the power behind Mr. Harri man and drew lurid pictures of the evils that will befall the northwest should the I'nion Pacific secure the Northern Pacific. The Pioneer Press, owned by Mr. Hill, says: "The real reason for the petition which will be filed in the Northern Securities case is John J. Rockefeller. The head of the Stand ard Oil trust is the real power be hind E. H. Harriman and Winslow S. Pierce. It is the policy of crushing rivals and 'the public be d d.' The Daily News and Globe take a similar stand, playing Rockefeller in I'iR type as the ogre about to gobb'e Northern Pacific. Five leading 'contentions will be ad vanced by the Securities company in opposing tiie peLiLnui. vuiimru uy j Sec urities attorney last night these are i that the court has no jurisdiction: that it cannot allow Harriman and Pierce, as trustees, to become preferred share holders; that they cannot be permit ted to absorb the profits due to the in crease in value of Northern Pacific common;, that the Oregon Short Line cannot legally own and vote Northern Pacific shares, and that Harriman and Pierce did not sell to the Securities company, but to Morgan Co. and are entitled to no redress except from that banking house. Pollock In Leavenworth. Federal Judge Pollock went to Leavenworth this morning, and there will consequently be no decision in the Anthony injunction suit today. The lawyers on both sides do not ex pect an opinion before next Monday. Judge Pollock, on last Tuesday, when the briefs and memoranda corrobo rative of the arguments were filed, stated that he wished some time to decide the case.

The war which is playing such havoc among two great nations ot the earth is also making itself feit in the Parisian modistic world. Rus- Blan women have loner been counted with the Americaine mondaines the best patrons of the exclusive ateliers of the Rue de la Paix. Naturally the present unsettled condition of things in the land of the czar, together with the general "slump" in financial circles, will have their effect upon the purchasing of the spring frills and fripperies of fashion. The idea is not to be con veyed that even patriotic femininity will make frumps of themselves this spring; far from it, as the average, normal woman will forego any luxury more resignedly than a dearth of pretty UUH011 OF THE DAY.

It's a singular fact that dur ing the most depressing and strenuous times women have always managed to satisfy their little vanities. If one could only preach the gospel of clothes instead of writing fashion letters what a perfect text would be that of "By your clothes shall ye be known" and recognized. But sermons are never listened to outside of church; so, on the whole, it were better that this threat ened homily should turn out a modistic song of cheer for the woman who, though comparatively poor as the word is now understood, must be well dressed in these extravagant times. When one comes to analyze it, it is really wonderful what a little thinking will do to help out a small dress al lowance. Smart dressing is only to be EARLY SPRING FRENCH COSTUMES. Cleveland took a look at the fire ruins and was much impressed.

Even the strongest minded of woman kind admit today that it is not the wo man who -is "too foolish and frivolous and scatter brained for anything but fashions" who is a success sartorially. Harmonious dressing where the time and place are always taken into con sideration is actual hard work. An ec onomical woman whose motto is "judi cious variety through an individual tone system" will manage to make a very little go a long way.

There is, by the way, no color which requires more careful selection than brown; a scintillation too dp.rk or light, too red or yellow, and it becomes at once just the "littln less and what worlds away." And the saddest thing is that therear2 jq jgolden rules to be laid down "as a guide for choosing brown shades"1, therefore one must work out one's own salvation, reserving al ways the privilege of "keeping the throat and face lightened by a touch of lace or a suspicion of a contrast.

"Why, we won the case." replied the client, "but I can't see what I get out of it." "You get enough to pay your lawyer's fees, don't you? What more do you want?" Chicago Evening Post. Mother Tommy, what did I say I'd do j term, never take kindly to brown, and the reason is not hard to trace, for this color, unless treated with distinc tion, is apt to appear dowdy. We may thank our modistic star that it 'is so, for in this day of cheap dress pla giarism it is comforting to feel that a number of distressing caricatures will not abound. Gray combined with brown of a rich, somber tone is a spring combination particularly chic, the suc cess of this contrast depending upon the undisturbed study of tones. If it were not for the assurance of a plethora of Easter weddings the modis tic world would die of ennui during these Lenten days.

has an immense number of dresses. She is content with herwedding gown, a going away dress, with dainty wrap and hat to match; four evening frocks, one black, one soft silk of some kind and a lace and tulle ball creation. Of course all these gowns are necessary only for the society butterfly. A wise selection of shoes, gloves and chapeaux and a dozen of each article of under wear and a half dozen of sorted pet ticoats will about complete the list. Not many years ago there were but two materials considered suitable for the wedding gown silk and satin; but now the more gossamer the wedding frock the more fashionable. If a silk or satin be chosen it must be of the hand somest quality, but a lace robe is much more attractive, while one of chiffon or liberty gauze is daintiest of all. When j the two lest named fabrics are made either tucked or shirred they are fas cinating, and very little trimming is required.

The bridesmaids' dresses will be very pretty. They are of white gauze over white silk, made with deep collars edged with a tiny band ot brown os trich feathers. The wide, folded sash es with long ends are of turquoise blue satin, against which the shower bou quets of pink roses will show up well. The picture hats are formed of rose leaves trimmed with plumes shading from blue to green, wound with twist ed folds of blue chiffon. A quaint old custom is to be a feature of this cere mony, and that is the distributing to the guests In the church of "favors" by the six pretty attendant maidens while the register is being signed in the ves try. These favors will be roses, aa the symbolic meaning of this queen of flowers is love. The bunch will include a half blown rose, which is the symbol of the beginning of love, and a full blown one, which speaks of the per fumed sweetness and unequaled beauty of happy passion. A sprig of myrtle is to be added as emblematic of the ever green nature that ought to distinguish wedded love, aid a piece of white heather, the symbol of good luck. Fashion is smiling, upon this pretty custom, and it fills up the tedlouu quar ter of an hour while the couple and their nearest friends are in the vestry, at the same time giving the whole brid al party a feeling of participation In the celebration. Small boy pages at tired in dress of the Stuart period are very popular additions to the smart wedding procession. There is still quite a f-ellng for the Japanese style of dress, and one of the new tailor mades is of navy blue serge, the skirt braided around the hips with a fine black Russian cord to simulate a yoke. The kimono-like blouse is made of chine sash ribbon In blue and gray tints joined together with Inch wide black satin ribbon. Over thi Is worn a braided blue cloth jacket fashioned after the Turkish velvet embroidered ones worn some years ago, which mere ly reached the waist line and were cut up Jauntily several Inches at the side seams. A finish is given the coat by means of motifs worked In blue and emerald green silk at the neck, at the center of the waist, at the back and at the lower edges of the fronts. The up per part of the cloth sleeve is slashed up to show a loose one of silk which meets a long, braided cuff.

When the mayor closed his address I was enthusiastically cheered by the populace and given the freedom af the town !n a tin ter.baeker box, .and by this time I was so puffed up with glory that my clothes seemed too small for mo. I should have remembered that pride goeth before a fall, and that he of the stiff neck walks on danarerous pround. but it was so pleasant to be lathered and shaved and patted on the back that 1 allowed myself to revel in it. That, night before going to bed. I diluted one dozen bntt'es of my Al yleviator and permitted the populace" to imbibe, and the string ba nd serenaded m -in th muy-jr sp.tke again. I had retired to my couch and slept for an This section was recently torn up and for some days conmleUAy cut com b r -o. x -wi f 1 "V'T hour, when I was suddenly aroused by a fresh clamor of the people, and as I sat up I thought I could hear sich sentences as "Bless Pilgrim Joe!" "Pilgrim Joe forever!" and"May heav en watch over him!" I soon discover ed, however, that I was somewhat mistaken. What people was savin', when X got right down to the hard pan .of it, was: "Bring the blamed old scoundrel They took me to the city limits ami vc me the boot. out here and let's tar and feather him!" I was not yet dressed when a depu tation headed by the mayor bust in upon me. and His Honor made a third I address. As nigh as I kin remember i i ..J-- .-i .L-'.WV-"" ,.","i,aF,((,uiiiji RUSSIANS RELAYING RAILROAD. I i. v jt-V? by a raiding troop of Japanese cavalry munication between these two points. it ran about as follows: "Xow, then, out yer come, ye old rascal, and never mind the necktie and collar!" "Gentlemen," I says, as I forces my self to be calm, "tharseems tobe some misunderstanding' here." "Not a bit of it," chuckled the may or. "We've bin hopin' you'd come this way for the last three months," "But what is the situashun?" "It's just this. Thar is no longer any eorror in Oklahoma for you to sorrer with no more pain and aches for your Alleviator to alleviate. Thar' is no call, therefore, for you to travel around any more." "Then I kin gracefully retire, I pre sume "Tou kin, and in order to make it more graceful we propose to put on the tar and feathers and accompany you a little away out o' town. Don't hang, back old man. Tou should be glad that sorrer is no more, and that heartaches hev bin turned into whoops of rejoicin'." All the weapons I had was a clear conscience and the shield of integ rity, which I may remark are not wuth a dum agin a pistol or a club, and so I had to accompany the depu tashun to the public squar', where about .1,000 enthusiastic Gin Fizzers awaited my comin'. Also, a kettle of tar and a bag of feathers. Thar was great unanimitv amone- them thousand patriots. Every single one of them wanted to see the tar and feathers applied. I was given op portunity to make a speech, and I throwed myself headlong into the breach, but my heroic gestures only provoked laughter and my fervid elo quence only helped to heat the tar. I hadn't got down to the battle of Bunker Hill yet when the crowd be came impatient fur the circus to open, and I would hev been made a victim in a mimt more but for a jestice of tne peace wno stepped for'ds. He spoe in ravor of law and order. He aian i want to see the crowd alto gether disappointed, and he offered to furnish a dog in my place. He had bought a bottle of my Pain Alleviator in the town of Happy Day to cure a cricK in me oack, and it had taken all the hair off his head and blistered his nose. He was down on me per sonally, but It was goin' too far to tar and feather me. I was jest the sort o' critter, as nigh as he could make out, to sue for big damages and set the town back fiftv years, and I was one o them oily kind that tar wouian t enng to. anyhow. The crowd wanted their way. and triea to hoot the .lestice down, but ne siuck to It and prevailed in the end. They used the tar and feathers on a dog and let me go. That is, they took me to the city limits and gave me the boot, and thrust me forth into the darkness and warned me to be nrteen miles away before davlight. My tintype outfit, my flghtin' dog my grashepper in a bottle, all but nonor was lett behind, and I wan dered in the darkness a forlorn and broken man. For the fust half hour it was hard to make myself believe that sich things had happened to me to me, who had lifted up the heart broken and cheered the discouraged irom ena to eno or the Territory, and who had sold a Pain Alleviator for 25 cents that would have been cheap at 40, and I found myself sayin": "lie that seeketh to better man kind is brought clus to the tar Kettle." And also: virtue is its own reward, and It's ginerally a mighty pore show." And likewise: "He who seeketh for gratitude seek eth for a bed of thistles." After awhile, however, hope came back to my heart and determinashun to my soul, and I went into camp un- aer a Cottonwood tree to await events uhey come along about sunrise. As I looked back over the road to'rds Gin Fiza I saw the Mayor comin' my way with my outfit. He was headed for Stop Here, and was doubtless intend in' to dispose of the blzness to a fakir who was givln' a panoramy show over thar on a guarantee of a dollar night for three nights. I hid myself m the grass till the Mayor drawed nigh. The bloom of happiness was on his cheek, and from his lips Issued the strains of A Hot Time." He had taken me in and done for me, and he supposed me miles away at that hour In the midst of this contentment I riz up and seized and stopped the old hoss, and then advancin' to the wagon gently asked him to drap the lines and descend to the grass. Durn me, if it hain t the same man!" he exclaimed, after lookin' me over. "Pilgrim Joe, at your service." "But you was run outer town." "Jist so, but I didn't stay run. Wilt descend and accept of sich courtesies as the occashun offers? As nigh as kin make cut you hev a great grief burdenin' your soul and I would lighten it. Thar' is sorrer tuggin' at your heart strings ,and I would re place it with happiness. Thar' is dis trust of mankind in your eye, and I wotild give you confidence in hu manity. Come down, feller emitter come down." He didn't wan to, but human aid and that tar kettle was two miles

Kansas City, April 7. As the result of the elertion of Keff, the Republican, can didate lor mayor, J. H. Bohart, a Keff supporter, was given a ride thruugti trie business district of the city in a wheel barrow last night by H. F. Erabree, a Kemper support r.

A Kansas City Girl's irair Caught in a Laundry Machine. Kansas City, April 7. Miss Maggie Henderson, a young woman employed in the laundry department at the Cudahy packing house in Armourdale, was the victim of a remarkable acci dent shortly after noon yesterday. .While she was at work alone In a small room her hair was caught on a revolving shaft just above her head. The lever controlling the shaft was out of her reach, and before she could summon assistance the whirling piece of steel had wound up her long hair and torn away the whole scalp from elow her eyebrows to the back of her neck. The scalp was wrapped around the shaft and the girl fell backwards to the floor. Instead of fainting, as a woman would have been expected to do under the circumstances, Miss Hen derson jumped to her feet, and throw ing her apron over her bleeding head, ran to the superintendent's office. 1 The case is a most extraordinary one.

Detroit, April 7. Rev. "W. H. Burch at the annual meeting of the Michigan Council of the Brotherhood of St. Paul, which has just closed its sessions here, surprised his audience by advocating a system of benefit insurance for the churches. He said: "It will be a great day for Methodism and for her church societies when a system of benefit insurance is allied to her work of salvation. "At present competition is too great. Members are lost to the church every day simply because they join fraternal and secret societies for the insurance features, and becoming attached to the lodge work with its services and rituals, gradually fall away from their alle giance to the church. Everywhere the organizers of our societies go, they have cast into their teeth that there is no benefit feature to the church organiza tions and they find it superhuman work to show the average man wherein lies the benefit of spiritual gain unless there is an element of material gain to help along."

An Example of What Physical Training Does. JUVENILES DID WELL. Child of Six Gives Club Swing ing Exercises. Marshall's Band a Featuro of the Entertainment. Besides being the best exhibition of amateur gymnastics which. Topeka has seen for a long while, the pro gramme which the Topeka Turners put on at the Auditorium last night was a lesson in calisthenics and phys ical training which to an uninitiated layman was a revelation. It would be difficult to incorporate within a newspaper comment all of the individual and collective feats worthy of special notice. There. was not a single number thoroughout the three-hour programme which did not get a hearty and appreciative encore from the audience. Fully 2,000 peo ple were present, and they took every occasion to tell the Turners, with rounds of applause, what they thought of the realiy meritorious and excellent exhibition. IIARI1Y KEITZMAX, One of the Prize Winning Turner Athletes. Most people who know anything about such things are acquainted with the fact that the active grown Turn ers are good gymnasts, but not all people, by any, means, know that cal isthenics can be successfully taught to juveniles. An exhibition of Indian club swinging by the girls and a se ries of plastic groups by the boys, ranging between the ages of five and twelve years, excited the admiration and applause of the audience. It wasn't like the Friday afternoon ex ercises of the public schools by any means, but throughout showed train ing and thorough familiarity with the work. Florence Horcheck, a little girls of six years, gave an exhibition of fancy club swinging which was really skillful and showed unusual ability. The boys did nice work in pyramids and groups and concluded their part of the programme with "rooster fights." This finale made an immens"e hit with the audience. Joe Whitmer gave an exhibition of electrical club swinging while the house was darkened. He is one of the best amateurs in this work in the country and sustained his reputation last night by an excellent performance. The clubs were made up of hollow globes containing electric lights, and made a pretty effect. The tambourine and flower roundeia of the girls were very pretty and graceful. Both went through with dispatch and accuracy. The fencing girls from the ladies' class was one of the best things of the evening. They were dressed in the costume which ha3 been made famous in pictures within the last few years of the fencing girl. Their drills were good, and the parry, thrust and attack work, showed train ing to a high degree. The adult active Turners came on then, with work on the parallel bar, the German and high horse, the pole and the mat. In this part of the pro gramme the audience had an oppor tunity to see the real result of hard work in the gymnasium. It was not very hard to see why the Topeka Tur ners rank second best in the United States. Besides doing some excellent work himself, Mr. Oscar Fager, the physical instructor of the Turners, had charge of the exhibition and deserves a great deal of credit for the performance. Marshall's band played throughout the entire evening, and interspersed the programme at several places with overtures andspecial musical numbers. It has almost come to be a recognized fact that when the Turners appear publiedy, one can generally hear Mar shall's band some where pretty close by. Pealxdy Is In Line.

Joseph Griley, councilman from the Second ward, went to Wichita Wed nesday as a delegate to the Democratic convention.

It will also be neces sary to appoint a new occupant for the chair of osteology. Dr. S. A. Johnson, who has had the place, has resigned. The spring vacation begins at Wash burn next Wednesday, April 13, and a great number of the students will go home for the week, which closes on April 30. Most of the Kansas colleges have already had their spring vacations, but the Washburn faculty postponed the event at the request of the baseball team, which wanted to take advantage of the days for its state trip. Upon request of License Collector H. W. Page, the suit brought by the city to collect S200 back license from the Western Union Telegraph company has been dismissed. The Western Un ion has paid up the licenses, and all the other telegraph and telephone com panies will probably follow suit. Test cases of similar nature in other citie3 have been decided against the com panies. Sheriff Mendenhall of Wyandotte county came to Topeka yesterday with Arthur Gray, a negro boy, who was sentenced to the reform school.
