Carries an Implied Endorsement of the Ship Subsidy Idea. Other Candidates for Field Clear Chicago, June 22. The Republican national convention met again at noon. Yesterday was Klihu Root's day. This was Speaker Cannon's. The day was flawless, clear sunshine, a fresh breeze from the lake, and tem perature was 75. The delegates spent most of the morning out of doors be fore the hotels on the lake front, where many of the state headquarters are. Senators and governors lined up along the curb with ordinary folk or walked up and down watching equipages on the drive, or looking at the sails out Side the breakwater. "What a holiday this convention is," remarked Senator Depew to his near neighbors, who happened to- be-Governor Duibin, of Indiana, and Represen tative Hull, of Iowa. "I feel" quite as though as I were at the sea,. shore With nothing to do except be idle and look s.t the water," "It is not strenuous," said Mr. Hull, "but always interesting. A national convention seems to me more expres sive of the peculiar genius of our peo ple than any other Institution. A con vention is always unique. For one to toe dull is an impossibility." This scrap of dialogue represents the way most delegates and spectators look upon the convention. It might give the observer a keener sensation if it were a combat and yet have no suggestive character. "It is the kind of gathering I would be willing to exhibit to the diplomatic corps," said Representative Watson, of Indiana, in the curbstone paraliament, "and I am sorry Sir Mortimer Durand did not follow his intention of attend ing the convention. He would have Been a thoughtful, cheerful, orderly coming together of every American and colonial type, and in some of the dele gates, the ambassador would have seen also how we assimilate men of foreign birth so that you can not distinguish between citizens of home and foreign origin." A band engaged by the Pennsylvania delegation gave a concert during the morning. Ladies visited the headquar ters in the hotels with flowers, or. called to get autographs of statesmen or just to see them from a distance. The turn out of carriages and automobiles was extraordinarily large. One session a day of the convention gives plenty of time for other engagements, and there were several late breakfasting parties at the clubs. Most of the clubs have a visitor's list half as large as the mem bership. No one is in quite as much of a hurry to go to the coliseum as on Tuesday. The ease with which every cardholder got his seat yesterday and the care the assistant sergeants-at-arms took to secure to every one its privileges caused a more leisurely prog ress toward the hall today. Besides that, the doors were opened half an hour later, at 11 o'clock instead of 10:30. Many delegates walked the mile separ ating the coliseum from the hotel dis trict. They found the hall brilliant. Fresh flowers were on the rostrum. Sparrows were twittering among the girders overhead. The band in the stand up near the birds played national airs. Called to Order. At 12:27 o'clock Temporary Chair man Root rapped for order, directing the delegates to take their seats and ordering the aisles cleared. This latter order was not obeyed with sufficient celerity to please the chair man and he directed the assistant ser-geants-at-arms to see that the aisles werr cleared. A second specific di rection from the chairman directed toward the delegates. In the center aisles, brought the convention to or der. Chairman Root then introduced Rev. Thomas K. Cox of the Holy Name cathedral of Chicago, who delivered the following invocation: Prayer of Rev. T. E. Cox. "Our father who art in heaven, we thank thee for the opportunities of this day. In all humility we adore thy sovereign majesty. To thee we look for grace and guidance. In thy hands are the destinies of nations, thy providence enters into the careers of man. There is no just power but from thee. Thy will is the sole source of law and good government. "Bless the deliberations of this con- r. -.Mi 1 I i i i 1 1 1 1 i t r9 Received and Adopted Friction.

Has ten the day when it shall be said: 'Thy kingdom of this world is become our Lord's and His Christ's, and he shall reign for ever and ever.' Amen." Credentials Report. "Is the committete on credentials ready to renort?" asked the chair man. Senator McComas. chairman of the committee on credentials, rose from his seat in the Maryland delegation and said: "Mr. Chairman, the committee on credentials has instructed me to read the report which is now ready." "The gentleman will please take the platform," said the chairman and Senator McComas mounting the ros trum, proceeded to read the resort. The first r'art of the document re lated to those contests in which the action of the national committee was upheld. The report in this connection was received with a ripple of ap plause, which was slightly accentuated when the decision seating both the "Lily Whites" and "Black and Tans" of Louisiana was read. An outburst of cheers greeted the announcement that th credentials committee had decided in favor of the "stalwart" faction in Wisconsin. The name of each delegate at large was greeted with cordial applause when it was pronounced bv Senator McComas. The statement of the committee giv ing its reasons for its action on the Wisconsin case was heard in complete silence, the convention showing no interest in the report in this par ticular. The senator went with detail into the facts of the appearance of the Lafol Iette faction before the committee, its disparaging statements to the commit tee andits subsequent withdrawal. He did not read the statement made by Mr. Roe, but announced that it was ap pended to and made a part of the re port. His announcement that the credential committee has unanimously decided for the stalwarts was greeted with a loud cheer. The chairman declared that a complete, full and impartial investiga tion had been made and there was no other course for the committee in jus tice to pursue. Jle pronounced the al legations made in the report as far as they -related to tne comimi-i.ee m be utterly false. The chairman put the vote. The report was adopted by a viva voce vote. Gen. Of-terlians Given a Seat. Senator Foraker moved that Gen. Osterhaus, a distinguished German soldier of the union army, be given a seat. The motion was unanimously adopt ed, and the chair appointed Senator Foraker of Ohio and Oen. Bingham of Pennsylvania a committee to escort the general to the platform. At this moment the convention burst into ap plause as Gen. Osterhaus was escorted to the platform. Chairman Root presented him to the convention as "Major General Osterhaus, corps commander of Sher man." The general made a brief speech, which was listened to with interest. Gen. Osterhaus said: "Permit me to thank you most heartily for the courtesy which per mits me to apenar before you. I was present at the Republican conventions in 1860 and 1864. when Abraham Lin coln was nominated, and I bespeak for the nominee of this convention the same glorious success." The chairman then called for the roll call on permanent organization. Chairman W. M. Johnson of this committee advanced to the platform and read it. The announcement that Speaker Cannon had been selected for perma nent chairman of the convention pro voked enthusiastic applause. On motion of Senator Cullom, the re port was adopted. Chairman Root appointed ex-Secretary John D. Long, Senator Cullom and Representative Burton of Ohio, a committee to escort Speaker Cannon to the platform. Upon this announce ment the convention gave a mighty, spontaneous shout and when Mr. Can non appeared at the speaker's desk and Chairman Root took him by '.he hand and led him forward to the ex treme front of the platform, the climax of enthusism was reached. Delegates with one accord jumped to their feet and onto their chairs. Cheer after 111 cheer went up and waves of sound swept over the throng-. The appiause continued as the temporary and per manent chairmen continued to stand arm in arm waiting for silence. Mr. Root raised his hand for silence. The cheers went on without cessation or diminution. Twice more Mr. Root raised his hand for silence that was not forthcoming. The delegates were on their chairs and their enthusiasm could not be checked. Mr. Cannon ap peared decidedly uncomfortable while the cheering went on and shifted about as though the floor underneath him was red hot. When finally there was a chance for Mr. Root's voice to be heard he pre sented Mr. Cannon to the convention as a man who presided over the great est legislative body in the world, ''with a grip so strong, a mind so clear and a heart so sound that he would wield the gavel in that body for many years to come." Another shout went up as Mr. Root stepped back and Mr. Cannon stood alone, facing the great audience. As Mr. Cannon turned to the front of the platform to commence his speecn there was another chorus of factional cheers and loud cries or "cannon, ne all right." Then came the usual query of -whose all right?" and the ringing answer "Cannon." The chairman waited patiently for the applause to subside and then it being comparatively quiet, said: "Gentlemen That was as far as he went. Another cheer cut him off for a full minute, and then he was allowed to proceed. Lausrhter greeted him as he said: "For the first time in my life I have written enough sentences at once time to make 2,500 words to say to you to day. I tried hard to commit it to memory, but I can not. Now," he A hearing more quiet, but equally continued, "we will begin to ramble." flattering, was given Mr. Cannon when he had entered upon the solid matter of his address. MiATFOKM IS READY. Sub-Committee Completed Its Work at Early Hour This Morning. Chicago, June 2 2. When the sub committee on resolutions met Senator Lodge for the first time presented his draft of a platform, saying that it was intended largely as a basis for action by the committee. His draft included a plank strongly commending the es tabled Republican policy on the tariff and presenting the necessity for main taining the protective policy in the interest of American labor and Amer ican industries. Added to this was a declaration committing the party to readjustment of the schedule if found to be desirable in the future. There was also a mild declaration on the subject of reciprocity and a nronouncement against trusts, but with a reservation in the interest of "established. legitimate industries." In this connection it congratulated the party upon the legislation on the trust question which had been secured since Roosevelt became president. It also contained a declaration in favor of encouraging American shipping. Mr. Lodge's draft did not contain any declaration on the success of the arbitration of the Canadian boundary question, but other members suggest ed a plank covering that point, the remark being made that the fact that Senator Lodge had been a member of the committee should not stand in the way of a proper presentation of it In view of its importance. A number of suggestions made by outsiders were considered, but none of them had been acted upon when, at 7 o'clock, the committee took a recess for dinner. Indeed, none of the propositions, including those present ed by Senator Lodge, had at that time been more than tentatively considered and members of the committee ex pressed the belief that many changes would be made before the final accep tance of the platform. The tariff plank is attracting more attention than any other feature of the platform. Objections have been raised by the wording, of the plank, and Representative Dalzell and Sen ator Hansbrough are opposing the clause relating to reciprocity. Mr. Dalzell does not want any reference to the subject, while Hansbrough is contending for the suggestion con tained in his resolution that an ad justment of the tariff should be made with regard to enlarged commercial relations with foreign countries. The reciprocity clause is urged by those who declare that it will be in accord with the last speech of President Mc Kinley, and that the Republicans should endorse that portion of his policy. The great effort is to make the tariff plank a "stand pat" decla ration and at the same time hold out a promise for revision "when neces sary." How to word the revision clause has been giving the Renublicnn leaders some concern for several days and the sub-committee on resolutions find this the most vexatious question before it. Before adjourning for dinner the sub-committee heard Dr. Robert Rey- uurn, delegate ana member of the committee on resolutions from the District of Columbia, on a piank fa voring suffrage for the District of Columbia. Also a report of the AfrO American league and Negro Suffrage association in favor of federal juris diction of elections. John M. Switzer, a delegate to the convention from Cebu, Philippines, and a member of the committee on credentials, submitted to the sub committee the draft of a plank favor ing tariff reduction and ultimate free trade between the United States and the Philippines. The sub-committee's decision was adverse to the applica tion as a part of the platform. The plank presented is as follows: "We favor the reduction of the ex isting tariff impo&ed in the United States upon products from the Phil ippines at least to 25 per cent, of the present Dingley rate. "We favor ultimate free trade be tween the United States and the Phil ippines." The original draft of the platform contained no reference to the Question of polygamy, and at a late hour the question had not been taken up by the committee. Senator Smoot, who has been giving close attention to the mat ter, says that there will be no utter ance whatever concerning it. Just before midnight a member of the subcommittee said an agreement had been reached on the tariff plank and that there would be no minority report by any members of the subcommittee. He said the declaration for protection was emphatic but promised revision when necessary but revision should be made by Republicans. A mild reciproc ity clause, he added, is incorporated in the resolution. It is not the intenion of the subcommittee to make the plat- form public until it is reported to the full committee. Senator Spooner, though not a member of the subcom mittee, entered the room during the evening and took part in the delibera tions. The supporters of the proposition to admit the territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state and those of New Mexico and Arizona as another have received what they consider satis factory assurances that a plank sup porting that policy will be inserted in the platform. The plank as submitted by them is as follows: "We recognize that in the admission of new states to the union regard must be had not only for the rights and best interests of the people of, the territories but also for the rights and best in terest of the people of the United States. Therefore we favor and do now pledge the support of the Republican party to the immediate admission to the union of the remaining continental territories as two states, Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one and New Mex ico and Arizona as another under such proper and liberal enabling acts as to congress shall seem best," The subcommittee adjourned at 12:50 o'clock a. m. Chairman Lodge an nounced that the committee had con eluded the platform and was ready to report to the full committee at lOo'clock this morning. "Not one word as to the platform" was Chairman Lodge's state ment when asked for details. The document contains about 2,300 words and was agreed to unanimously by the subcommittee. The tariff plank was finally agreed upon, an especially strong reiteration of tne Republican j policy of protection announces a will- i ingness to change the schedules "when ever business conditions demand the change." but the opinion is expressed that all changes should be along pro tection lines. THE PLATFORM. Reviews Party's History and Acconi pliirhmcnts. Convention Hall, Chicago, June 2 2 Following is the platform of thi Republican national convention: Fifty years ago the Republican j party came into existence, dedicated among other purposes to the great task of arresting the extension of hu man slavery. During 24 of the 44 years which have elapsed since the election of Lincoln the Republican party has held complete control of the government. For 18 more of the 4 4 years it has held partial control through the possession of one or two branches of the government. while the Democratic party during the same period has had complete control for only two years. This long tenure of power by the Republican party is not due to chance. It is a demonstration that the Republican party has com manded the confidence of the Ameri can people for nearly two generations to a degree never equalled in our his tory and displayed a high capacity for rule and government which has been made even more conspicuous by the incapacity and infirmity of purpose shown by its opponents. The Republican party entered upon its present period of complete su premacy in 1897. We have every right to congratulate ourselves Sapou the work since then accomplished, for it has added luster even to the traditions of the party which carried the gov ernment through the storms of civil war. We then found the country after four years of Democratic rule in evil plight, oppressed with misfor tune and doubtful of the future. Pub lic credit had been lowered, the rev enues were declining, the debt grow ing, the administration's attitude toward Spain was feeble and mortify ing, the standard of values was threatened and uncertain, labor was unemployed, business was sunk in the depression which had succeeded the panic of 1893, hope was faint and confidence was gone. Meeting the Conditions. We meet these unhappy conditions vigorously, effectively and at once. We replaced a Democratic tariff law based on free trade principles and garnished with sectional protection by a pro tective tariff and industry, freed from oppression and stimulated by the en couragement of wise laws has ex pansed to a decree never before known, has conquered new markets and has concealed a volume of ex ports which has surpassed imagina tion. Under the Dingley tariff labor had been fully employed. Wages have risen and all industries have revived and prospered.. We firmly established the gold standard, which was then menaced with de struction. Confidence returned to business and with confidence an unex ampled prosperity. For deficient revenues supplement ed by improvident issues of bonds we gave the country an income which produced a large surplus and which enabled us only four years after the Spanish war had closed to remove over $100,000,000 of annual war taxes, reduce the public debt and lower the interest charges of the government. The public credit, which had been so lowered that in time of peace a Democratic administration made large loans at extravagant rates of interest in order to pay current expenditures. rose under Republican administration to its highest point and enabled us to borrow at 2 per cent even in time of war. Action Toward Cute. We refused to palter longer with the miseries of Cuba. We fought a quick and vijorous war with Spain. We set Cuba free, governed the island for three years and then save it to the Cuban people with order restored, with ample revenues, with education and public health established. free from debt and connected with the United States by wise provisions for our mutual interests. We have organized the government of Porto Rico and its people now re joice in peace, freedom, order and pros perity. In the Philippines we have suppress ed insurrection, established order and given to life and property a security never known there before. Wre have organized civil government, made it ef fective and strong in administration and have conferred upon the people of those islands the largest civil liberty they have ever enjoyed. By our possession of the Philippines we were enabled to take prompt and effective action in the relief of the leg ations at Pekin and a decisive part in preventing the partition and the pre serving of the integrity of China. The possession of a route for an isthmian canal, so long the dream of American statesmanship is now an accomplished fact. The great work of connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans by a canal is at last begun and it is due to the Republican party. We have passed laws which will bring the arid lands of the United States within the area of cultivation. We have reorganized the army and put it in the highest state of efficiency.

Writh the platform completed and in the hands of the full committee, every element of speculation seems removed from the remaining sessions of the convention. The members of the Colorado dele gation said that, following the action of the Illinois delegation, they would not present tne name of John W. springer as a vice presidential candi date from that state. CHARLES WARKEJ FAIRBANKS, interesting Sketch of the Famous Indiana Senator. ine tollowing sketch of Senator Fairbanks was written by Savovnrd the well known political authority and a writer on the Washington Post: Charles Warren Fairbanks, a sena tor in conirress irom the state of Indi ana, is tne son of Loriston Monroe Fairbanks, and eighth in descen from Jonathan Fayerbanke, who firs Drought the name to America. He was born at Unlonville Center, Union county, Ohio, May 11, 1852, and early in life his father taught him the use ot tools required in wagon makine. and employed him on the farm as a help to till the soil. He was made to practice the virtues of industry and frugality; but this stern, old Puritan father, who "feared God, and nothing else; wno Denevect in Hen Wade and Joshua Oiddings, who daily renounced the devil and an his works this old Puritan father taught trie boy two other lessons, without a mastery of which the wisest and the most learned man is poorly educated the boy was taught to practice self-denial and to be self-reliant. Without these how miserable is the genius of intellect Without these how tyrannical is tire genius of liberty! The parents of Charles Warren Fairbanks were Methodists. Have you reflected what a mighty force the Methodist church is? In what is per haps T. B. Macaulay's greatest essay or is it in the history? hespeculates how the Church of England might have made of Wesley an instrumen as potent for its advantage as the Ro man Catholic church made of Igna tius Loyola, had the polity of the English establishment been as wise as was the Catholic. Joanna Southcote at Rome would have been another St. Theresa. In piety, in zeal, in devotion, in seif-immolation, in enthusiasm, I Methodism is to Protestanism what the Society of Jesus was to Catholic ism. Your "circuit rider" was a pio neer. He was colporteur, shepherd, neighbor, and friend, doing the work of God as it was given him to know the will of God. His flock were found in the cabin, rather than in the man sion, and usual'y it was the clapboard roof through which his prayers as cended to heaven. Who of us now approaching three-score does not re member that faithful old horse he be strode. those enormous saddlebags filled with the simple literature of the church, and designed to, and calcu lated to. make men and women, boys and girls, better and happier? The crack of the hunter's rifle is the first salutation civilization gives in the forest primeval. Then follows the sound of the woodman's ax. And close behind is the fervent devotions and pious exhortations of the Metho dist preacher, proclaiming the salva tion purchased by the precious blood of Calvary. They believed in "getting religion," and they did not have very great faith in the religion that was easy to "get." They believed in the "mourners" bench," in the agony of repentance, in the efficacy of prayer, in the ecstasy of God. They hid not their lifi-ht un der a bushel,, and saint or sinner, he is a mighty ignorant or a mighty prejudiced man who will deny the Methodist church great credit for much of the virtues of American citi zenship.

He went to the neighborhood schools until ne was stifflcientlv advanced to enter college, and In the eyes of Loriston Monroe Fairbanks there was but one college in the commonwealth, and that the Ohio Wesleyan university, at Dela ware. Ohio, not far from Union eoun tv. The boy entered that institution an eager seeker after knowledge. He had learned the use of tools ana aia odd jobs to help his father pay his way. He lived frugally ana stuaiea industriously and was duly graduated from the classical course. Then he chose a profession, the law. and to sustain himself while studying he was a reporter of the Associated Press at Cleveland, and subsequently at Pittsburg. In 1872 he was admitted to the bar of the su preme court of Ohio. Soon afterward he was married to Miss Cornelia Cole daughter of Judge Cole, of Marysville Ohio, and settled at Indianapolis, Ind., where he has made his home ever since. He and his wife were school mates and she had been the associate editor of the college paper of which he was editor. During all the years of their married life she has been his friend as well as his wife and the mother of his children. When Fairbanks opened his office at the Indiana capital he was as lean a3 a fence rail and nearly as long. His health was not robust, and it was not a very Inviting field as it appeared to him: but he was resolute. The car dinal virtues industry, frugalitv self-denial and self-reliance were his, and now he practiced all of them He had no genius except the genius of ceaseless labor and the taking of infinite pains. He was not a Blaine or an Ingersoll to captivate and to dazzle. His was not a brilliant Intel lect to depend on the inspiration of tne moment rather than on previous study. But he was a man of ability ana nne mind. Every oay he learned a little law and he never forgot it. Years after that little piece of law ana they were legion was at his in stantaneous command, whether he was in his office preparing a brief or in tne courtroom trying a case. He began at the bottom as a corporation lawyer, and got to the top. He never was satisfied to know his own side of a case. When he had mastered his side, he set about a study of his ad versary's 3ide. and he never ceased it tin ne nad mastered it, too. As a con sequerce he was never caught nap ping, and in a few years he was in the ranks of the leading lawyers of Indiana and the middle west- He was not so great a lawyer as Ben Harrison w no was.' Dut he was a more sue cussful lawyer than Ben Harrison During many years he was urged to cmcr pouiics ana stana lor office. He irauiuieiy rerusea. tie was a party man, uuwever, as any son or such father must have been, and cave of hi means to support his party's cause, and whenever invited to -do so he went on the stump to aid the election of the Republican ticket. Thus he became a vaiuame asset of that party in Indiana. .out ne early determined that his fam ily should have a comoetencv ami hi. children an education before he sought When the great war between the states was finished there was one colos sal political figure in Indiana, Oliver P. Morton, the greatest of the "war gov- ernors. There were two vouneer men. both of very great promise Walter vj. Gresharn and Benjamin Harrison. The former was content to be the follower of Morton; the latter would have been content to follow no man. Had Morton lived we may be sure Harrison would never have been president; but it is al together probable that Gresharn wouid have been. The two were antagonistic in their natures Gresharn was as en gaging as a generous and happy school boy, and Harrison as cold as the icicle that hung on Diana's temple. It only shows that we do not make presidents of our men of magnetism. In 1S3S the Republican party wanted to renominate James G. Blaine for president. That gentleman was oppos ed to it for two reasons one, lie thought he could not be elected, and the other, he believed he would not survive an exciting campaign, and he was probably right in both conclusions. John Sherman, Chauncey Depew, Gov. Alger, Ben Harrison, and Judge Gres harn were candidates. Perhaps there were others. It was ascertained that Mr. Blaine would not accept the nomi nation, and that Harrison would not be distasteful to him. Then Tom Piatt nominated Harrison. Fairbanks was a most successful lawyer, and his practice was very lucrative, borne or his fees were enor mous, and his services were in great demand throughout the middle wept. He had earned a competency. The wolf was far from his door, and he was ready to enter politics. There was iust one office he wanted, just one he would havt. That is the office he now holds; but the Democrats had the legislature, and Senator Voorhees was re-elected. Fairbanks sought the minority nomina tion and would have got it. hut for a trick. When the next election came Sen ator Turnie was chosen senator, but Fair barks got the minority nomination. The campaign of lsfl came on. The Democratic party got hysterics and cut all sorts of capers and shines. It was de lirious for some months and when it got out of the spasm it found it had made a divided south and a practically solid (Continued on Page Six.) TQPEKAJ3ETS IT. Kansas National Guard Encamp ment to Be Here. Will JB Held at Vinewoid Tark In August. WILL BE 1,300 21 EN Includes Two Regiments acsi Two Batteries. Place ProiSded for Artillerj Target Practice. Governor Bailey definitely decided to day to hold the state encampment of the Kansas National Guards on the grounds offered by the Topeka Street Railway company near Vlnewood Park, provided the company signs an agree ment to carry out what it has offered verbally. Governor Bailey wants to get everything down in black and white so that there will be no misunderstanding about it when the encampment com mences. The other towns which asked for the encampment were Hutchinson, Sterling. Wichita, Arkansas City, Garden City and Emporia. With the exception of. Emporia all are in the southern and southwestern part of the state, and the expenses of mobilizing the troops at any of them would be greater than at Topeka, and the offer of a camping ground here was much, better than any made by other towns. The dates for the encampment will probably be from August 15 to 24. Thera may be a slight change in the time oa account of train service, but if nothing interferes those will be the dates. The national government pays pare of the expenses of the militia encamp ment under the Dick military law, but the state has to comply with many re quirements of the war department in order to secure this governmental a:d. For one thing, the encampment rr.usv not be in connection with anything else. Some of the towns which put in bids for it proposed to have the en campment as an attraction for soms other "doin's." Another thing required by the government is sufficient ranga for artillery target practice, which is where some of the other towns couhj not fulfill the requirements. Last night Governor Bailey, accom panied by Adjutant General Kelsey, Brigadier General Hughes and Colonel H. W. Brent, went out to Vlnewood to look over the camp ground offered by Topeka through the street railway com pany. The military part of the gover nor's inspection party pronounced fas grounds an Ideal camp ground, and. Governor Bailey coincided in the opin ion. "The grounds He beyond the car line," said the governor today. They contain about 120 acres of meadow, mostly blue grass. It has not been pastured this year but the street car company prom ises to mow it and put it into the right condition for the encampment- It will be strictly sanitary. The company will light the camp with electric lights and will pipe water up from Vlnewood Park.

William Ward and Archie Campbell, the two young men charged with manslaughter because of their having been firing re volvers when Anna Jones was killed by a stray shot, a week ago last Saturday night, have returned to this city and gave themselves up to the authorities. Ward and Campbell succeeded in elud ing the officers for ten days. They said they left here immediately after the Fhooting and went directly to Syracuse, Kan., where they remained until they made up their minds to return home and face the music. They said they were sorry they had gone at all, and that they would not have pone if it had not been that they were frightened and thought of nothing but getting away. Ward, who Is supposed to have fired the shot that killed Miss Jones, said he was almost as much afraid of the dead girl's brothers as he was of the law. Ward and Campbell caught a late train on the Rock Island but a few minutes after the young woman was found to be dead, running eight blocks in order to catch it just as it was pull ing out. They got back to Wichita Monday night, were arraigned before Judge Alexander last Tuesday and each gave bond in the sum of $1,500 for his appear ance Friday. As soon as they arrived a brother of Ward notified the sheriff that they were here to give themselves up. Upon his guarantee that they would be here 1n the morning, they were not arrested and their presence in the city was not made public. WAS AX EARLY SETTLER. Death of C. B.

Karl, of Detroit, wno wa kicked in the forehead by a mule last week, died this morning at 11 o'clock from the effects of the injury. She was swinging under a tree in the yard, when her brothers led their teams past the tree, and while none saw the accident, it is believed that she swung against one of the mules, causing it to kick. The edge of the mule's hoof struck a glancing blow, broke her skull, cut and parted the flesh and left an opening that seemed to be two inches deep. Seemingly lifeless she was carried to the house by her father, who at once telephoned for doctors. A piece of her skull an inch by two inches in size was re moved. Abilene Reflector.

Battle With Jack O'Brien Will Be Hard Fought. PULLED OFF IN JULY. Six Round Contest for Philadel phia Before Long. Opinions Differ as to Who Be the Tictor. Will Philadelphia, June 22. The next event of importance in the boxing line after the postponed Jeffries Munroe bout will be the six-round contest between Jack O'Brien and Bob Fitzsimmons, which is scheduled to take place in this city early next month. This is the match which the lovers and patrons of boxing have been looking for ever since O'Brien came into prominence. Before O'Brien went to England he was looked upon by those who knew him well In this city as a boxer of very ordinary quality, but he has gone along the line and held his own with the best mid dleweight boxers in the profession, in cluding Tommy Ryan and Kid Mc fnv O'Rrien is today one of the richest boxers in tne Dusmess, ior al though a liberal giver. Jack has taken good care of his earnings, ana is on easv street financially. He has had a ood share of luck in his ring career, and he has been accused of jobbing several times, with Walcott, Ryan, and McCoy, but if he has ever been concerned or mixed up in any crooked work, he has never been "caught with the goods on. It is true that tiotn the Ryan and McCoy matches, which ere fought in this city, looked very queer to say the least, but so far no one has attempted to prove mat either of these contests was not on the level. In boxing Fitzsimmons, O'Brien is facing the most difficult proposition of his ring career, and if he can stay six rounds with the "grand old man of the prizering," he will be entitled to credit as being the greatest pugilist ever turned out in Philadelphia. Fitzsimmons is a bigger man than O'Brien, he is taller, has a longer reach, and believes- that he can hit harder than any man in the world. His hands are reported to be not quite as good as they were earlier in his career, but he can still hit hard enough with either one of them to knock out most any man. The only advantage which O'Brien may pos sess over Fitzsimmons would be that possibly he is a faster hitter than Bob, and he may be quicker on his feet. But if he has any of these ad vantages, Fitzsimmons has more than enough points in his favor to overbal ance them. O'Brien has figured out the problem carefully, and he said last week that he believed he could defeat the lanky Australian. It won't be very long till it will be known whether or not his calculations are correct. MOROE MAKES FRIENDS. Worked Hard and Waited Patiently for Jeff to Get Well. San Francisco, June 22. The sport ing public has a Detter opinion oi Jack Munroe" now than ever before. Jack has won hundreds of friends by his manly stand in the match with Jim Jeffries. Although he has been disappointed three times since sign ing articles on account of the date of contest being changed, he has not lost heart, and is as cheerful as ever. To day his training quarters were be sieged with sports anxious to get a look at him, and the crowd seeme.d to be of the opinion that Munroe will give Jeffries the fight of his life if they ever get in the ring. "Jeffries will have a time licking that big fellow," said an old-time fol lower of the fighters, after looking over the miner today. "I never saw a more promising looking fellow." Some one suggested that Munroe's lower limbs looked a bit too heavy for a good fighter, but after seeing Jack move about for a few minutes the man changed his opinion. lluhliu Wants to light Munroe. New York, June 22. Billy Madden manager of Gus Ruhlin, the heavy weight pugilist, said today Ruhlin was ready to meet Munroe in place of Jeffries. "Now that Jeffries refuses to fight on account rf a sore knee, said Mad den, "Ruhlin is ready to fight Mun roe June 3 0, or any other day in the near future. Jeffries played the same game on Ruhlin when they were scheduled to tight in Cincinnati a couple of years ago. It looks kind of queer that Jeff springs that knee story so otten. rtumin has been training at his home in two months, and is in dition." Akron for good con Backers of Moharib Save Money.

Pitching and Batting Honors Were Eren. Locals Nearly Tied the Score in Ninth Inning. Not with echoing trumpet or crash ing cymbal, but with measured tread and slow, did the Saints wing them selves from Washburn field Tuesday afternoon, singing their consolation re quiem, oft-chanted before: "Thou art so near and yet so far." Victory to the celestials has become a mere chimera just a floating phantom beyond their reach. To get out of daisies and but terflies into Kansas avenue English, It might just as well be said "that the other fellow is always Just a little too strong." It has been so for two w-eeks, it was so again Tuesday, when Iola's pets tucked beneath their belts another gory scalp, across whose bald spots was splurged in streaks of blood the score: 4 to 3. e.r.e. Captain Rissley, of Iola, at the Bat. Three times did a diaphanous glint of hope waltz over the grandstand and bleachers, but each one dissolved into misty nothingness beside the errorless playing of the Gaslighters. Not a sin gle mistake did the cherubs of one Dud Ktsley make during all the nine in nings. Six times did the official scorer seek the sickening column, crowned with the danger light: Errors, and chalk bad marks up against the celes tials. Two of these went to Cole, the center fielder. Full admission will b made that the ground is bad, but Wil son who played the same garden for Iola killed four right on the same ter ritory. The ex-Josie, however, did make one pretty catch off Millsap's willow In the first inning, clear over by the cedar tree. Freil made an error on a fast grounder and incidentally hurt himself while doing so, and had to leave the game. Old Spartacus Alberts doing his stunt and incidentally bid ding Adios to the fans, played a faultless game in Freil's position. Then one Sisler made a bad throw to first on which a man advanced, who after wards scored. Olson got tangled up with a grounder off Smiling Jack Root's bat and helped swell the error list. Then Carter and Umpire Owen played "dodge" on a little grounder with the result that the batter got to first base. "His umps" was perhaps to blame at that juncture, but he wouldn't stand for Carter's complaint of "inter ference." That just explains the make up of the graves-clothes of the errors To dig up the corpse, would call forth the city board of health. Umpire Owen on Duty. Thompson, the little Ottawa fielder, was on the bench Friday. Saturday and Sunday, because, as Manager Al berts put it, "he was went all to pieces." He certainly picked up the remnants in yesterday's game, and dove-tailed them together until you could not have found the cracks with a microscope. Such a game as that youngster put up in the sun-garden has only been equalled here by the versatile Roy Bevis, and there is ques tion if the "kid" did not have the shade the better of even this crack ex Saint. Three times did he nail the sphere ana each time the chance was hard. One running catch for a fou deserves a bunch of blue ribbons and a medal. At the bat he found Root for a nice single in the seventh. ft &9- A C. P. Iola Players are Rather Noisy. Sisler, kl-yi, knocked a home run. Sisler? Yes. the man who plays third base. How did it happen? Well, there is a story to that. It was in the first inning, just as the fans were find ing the soft spots in the boards of the grandstand. Schrant had been hit in the ribs by one of Jack Root's weird ones which didn't break properly.

Umpire Owens. Sialer hunted around in the atmosphere and got two strikes and as many balls. Jack got sassy and threw a nice one. Sibler connect ed and knocked the horse-hide to wards Pauline into the right garden. It took a wild bounce and landed clear over in the tall jimpson weeds In the southwest corner of the field. Shu meyer went after it with a spyglass, a pair of tweezers, a search warrant, Milsap, Bankhead, Wilson, Root, Sei gle, Frick, Risley and Scroggins all hunted for it. Topeka knows now why they ought not be called Gas- lighters. Their shining name did not find that ball. Meanwhile Schrant and Sisler were scampering merrily home and the fans were cheering, for the score was to 2 to 1 in Topeka's favor. It was not until the ninth that an other was made. Olson hit for fair. After two men went out. Liming whaled out a pretty three-bagger. Thompson tried hard to hit. but the best he could do was to fly out Into Shumeyer's hands, who incidentally made four put-outs and one brilliant assist on an apparent single. The fans prayed to Nick Carter to win his own game. But the big Saint struck out "and there was no joy in Boston, when the mighty Casey did strike out." Seigle, the big Iola catcher con tributed to the cause with hia might and main. In the fourth he was re sponsible for two runs. After Scog gins went two stations on a double. the big catcher lit on a beauty and laid it stiff and stark and cold over the fence for a homer. These runs were earned. The one made in the first came in off a hit. but was born of Freil's error. In the sixth Cole's error and a hit brought home the other. While Shumyer Hunted the Ball Sissler Made a Home Run. So far as hitting was concerned honors were even, six being made by each side. The honors from the pitching box were also on the par. Root did not twirl the horse-hide half so nicely as he did when here two weeks ago. but withal, it was plenty nice enough to beat the Saints. But the Iolities have nothing to brag about in regards to finding Carter. He struck out five of the visitors. Root went him three better, getting eight of the Saints. Empire Owen made his debut in Topeka and made good. There has not been a better indicator man in the city this year. He not only runs the game, bu tkeeps it going. There is no delay when the big fellow is be hind the slabruan. It's "batter-up" wit hhim all the time, and he made a hit with the crowd, though the Saints got the worst of one decision on a foul.

The obituary of Gus Alberts as man ager of the Topeka baseball team is written with genuine regret. The sor did looking phrase "fired to cut down, expenses" tells the whole story in a nutshell. It looks just a little like ingratitude to release the man who made the team possible. While- the fans of the cUy were making them selves comfortable during the winter, Alberts prowled around during the niirht hours after his work with the city railway was done, trying to in duce Topeka men to invest money in a Missouri Valley league franchise. He had enthusiasm, where others were absolutely indifferent and list less. He kept the agitation alive un til President D. M. Shiveley came to Topeka and helped him fight out the battle. That is how Topeka has a team this year. Alberts is to be thanked for it. He was immediately elected manager that, thought the directors, would in a way compensate him for his "ginger." But baseball in Topeka is not a Thunder Mountain gold mine. On the contrary the as sociation is now $500 in the hole, in plain, unvarnished language. But there isn't s. ball manager on the face of the eai-th who could have prevented this. The business simply did not come. The scheme of having a play-' er-manager has possessed the Topeka management as one of the panaceas for relieving the financial troubles. Al berts' salary was about $100 a month, and it Is thought that if Earl Green could be obtained to play the first sack and manage also, that a wad of money could be saved in that way. From the business standpoint it is a good one but it don't make the hon est, fair-minded fan feel right to dis miss from service the little, oid bow legged figure, denominated "Sparta cus" Alberts, just because the lid has to be screwed down on the strong box. The Leavenworth Orioles have been strengthened by the acquisition of Cor bin, last year a short stop with the Kansas City Western league. He is a good batter, finishing In 1903 with an average of 2 87. The Leavenworth Times took par ticular pains in congratulating the Saints upon having secured O. H. Mor ris of Springfield, Mo., as manager but there is many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. Mr. Morris did not want to invest about $2,000 in an ath letic field and backed out. Wonder how "Army" likes jabs from the Fort Scott Tribune like this one: "If there are any hopes of the Fort Scott baseball team winning another game, the fans are desirous of know ing who entertains such." Bankhead leads the Iola team at the bat with an average of 307. Mil sap, the first baseman has the big honors on fielding with a mark of .948 after his name. But there were others In the .900 fielding column. The Sedalia fans think that Bevis is just about as good as Schrant at the bat. Bevis has a bad hand while Schrant is as sound as a dollar. Their hittine has been at a stand-off late ly, with Bevis" fielding about 3 00 per cent to the good. Baseball is getting so hot over In Joplin that the Western Union tele graph company has run its wires to the ball park and has established tick ers at two places downtown. Guess that's putting on style. Twice this year there has been no street ear service to the bail park in Springfield and carriages, etc., had to be used. That hit the attendance like a hailstorm does a glass roof. This is from the Joplin News-Herald but it sounds very much like talk from some of the Topeka ball players: "The Topeka papers are very change able in their affection for Pitcher Howie. If he wins a game he is good and the management is advised to hold onto him whiie, when some team gets up against his speedy ones for a bunch of hits, the papers think he is a dead one and should be re leased. ..J' 1f. a cinch now that Pittsburg likes Abbott.

Kept on Diet of Bread Water Two Dajs. and Finallj Uot Audience With Gen. Stoessel and Was Released. Indianapolis, Ind., June 22. The News today received from Hector Ful ler, Its special war correspondent, who effected an entrance Into Port Arthur, where he was imprisoned five days and then ordered from the fort ress, a special cable dated at Chefoo, today, in which he gives his experi ences and observations while In the besieged fort as follows: "After being removed across from the Miauto islands in an open boat by two Chinamen, I succeeded In land ing at Louisa bay, near Port Arthur and separated by a ranje of hills. The bay was occupied by a Kussian ilotilla of four torpedo boats, two de stroyers ajid two cruisers. I landed at daybreak on the morning of June 10, without detection. "With the full coming of the day, I could see that every hilltop near the shore was alive with soldiers, busily engaged in strengthening the already formidable fortifications which occu pied every point of vantage. It looked as first as though It would be impos sible to pass through the lines and make my way over the hills to Port Arthur. But by keeping down in the narrow valleys which were free from soldiers. I gradually made my way Into the interior of the peninsula. In this way, after a day and a night of persistent and cautious efforts I at last succeeded in reaching Port Ar thur. Hid in Chinese Village. "After some hasty observations there the hazard of my position be came so obvious that the same day, Saturday, June 11. I set out on my return to the bay. But the good for tune which attended me the day be fore soon deserted me. I presently came In sight of a. large body of Rus sian infantry, when I took refuge in a Chinese village where I found a hiding place until danger was over. "I had not proceeded far from this village when I came upon a small par ty of sappers. To avoid them I made a dash up a hill only to run into an other regiment engaged in digging en trenchments. Instantly I was sur rounded with men. There was no pos sibility of escape. "The officer in command detailed a guard to take me to Pigeon bay. There I was searched. I was stripped to the skin and all my garments were subjected to the closest scrutiny. My money was taken and all the papers in my possession were most minutelyi scrutinized. Thereupon I was blind folded and marched to Port Arthur. The route taken was over the mili tary road which recently had been constructed. In spite of the bandage over my eyes I was able to note that the road is one of most admirable construction along which troops and artillery could move easily and rapidly. Port Arthur Wns Lively. "Port Arthur was full of life and gaiety, quite out of keeping with the stories of distress that had reached Che Foo through Japanese sources. Indeed, nothing of this sort was ob served. There seemed to be an abun dance of supplies and fresh supplies were coming in from Chinese sources. The Japanese blockade has not been effective. The harbor entrance has been freed of obstructions, the battle ships have been repainted and the for tifications are constantly being made stronger. The garrison is larger than outside information has led me to suppose. The troops are in excellent condition and the general health con ditions of the city are good. There seemed to be no apprehension that the city was likely soon to fall. "The night I was marched into Port Arthur, under guard, the city was un usually lively as the officers were giving a ball. Three officers were de- tailed to examine me and they made thorough work of it. After the exam ination was completed I was lodged In prison. The prison is directly op posite Golden Hill. From the window of my cell I had a good view of the inner bay. and could see distinctly the repaired battleships at anchor. "In the same prison were confined 100 Japanese who had been captured from the blockading expedition. Sev eral of these had become insane. Kent on Bread and Water. "I. myself, was kept on Russian black bread and water for two days. Then I was permitted by the authori ties to purchase such food as I de sired. "While I was in the prison I was subjected to seven different examina tions. The thing that evidently aroused the greatest suspicion was the passport that had been issued to me nt Tokio. It is pretty evident that the Russian officers more than half suspected that I was a Japanese spv.

At last after four days in prison my plea was allowed and 1 was taken before the com mander. I made a straightforward statement of my purpose in seeking to penetrate the Russian lines and gave a detailed account of my trip. At last he was convinced of my good faith. He said: 'You Americans must be crazy.' "As the result of this hearing of my case General Stoessel decided that I was to be allowed to leave Port Ar thur on condition that I promise never to return. The promise was promptly forthcoming. Went Out Blindfolded. "Thereupon I was again blindfold ed and taken back under guard, by the direct route to Louisa bay. Ar riving there I was requested to point out the exact spot at which I made my landing. Immediately a sentry was placed at that point. "I was sent away then in a junk, along with a host of Chinese. These were the men of an entire village, who were being deported because the vil lage had harbored some Japanese. The Junk was escorted outside the harbor by Russian torpedo boats and then was left to make its way alone as best it could, across the gulf. I was with out food for 60 hours, but finally reached here, little the worse for my ten days' experience. "On the whole, I may say that while I was in the hands of the Rus sians I was kindly treated. "On the night of June 13, the Jap anese made another attack on Port Arthur, both by land and by sea. I saw distinctly the firing from my cell. When the affair was over the Rus sians returned laughing to their quar ters reporting that the enemy had been easily repulsed.

Secretary Cor telyou of the department of commerce and labor, left here for Chicago to at tend the Republican national conven tion. He will arrive in Chicago early this evening. Advices received by Pres ident Roosevelt and others here from the convention leaders indicate that doubt of Secretary Cortelyou's selec tion as national chairman has been re moved entirely. Such opposition as ex isted to Mr. Cortelyou has been dissi pated and the belief in authoritative quarters here is that he will be elected unanimously by the new national com mittee at its meeting subsequent to the adjournment- of the convention. It is pointed out that much of the opposi tion that existed was based on the statement, made in various forms, that he was at one. time a Democrat and that he is at heart a free trader. A high official of the government who has known Mr. Cortelyou for many years authorized a statement concerning his political record, which in fairness and as a matter of record is here given: "Secretary Geo. B. Cortelyou's father and grandfather were Republicans of the staunchest kind. His grandfather, Peter Crolius Cortelyou was an inti-mati- friend and associate of Horace Greeley, Thurlow Weed and other great leaders in the party's early history. Both his brothers are Republicans and the members of his family have been known as Republicans since the foun dation of the party. All the teachings of his earlier years were in that politi cal raitn, ana when he took up the study of public .questions on his own account he became a firm believer in Republican doctrines. His first vote was cast for a Republican candidate, and from that day to this he has vo ted the Republican ticket. "Mr. Cortelyou was one of the found ers of the Young Men's Republican club of Hempstead, N. Y. He was an active member of the Plumed Knights, and did hard and effective service in the Blaine compaign. He was the sec retary of the Harrison managers at the Minneapolis convention. Upon the ad vent of the Democrat administration in 188a he tendered his resignation and left the federal service. Again in 1893, upon the advent of Mr. Cleveland's second administration he tendered his resignation and remained only at the earnest request of his new superior. He has gone regularly each year to his home and voted for Republican candi dates and while he loyally served a Democrat president he accepted the position then tendered him only after a frank statement of his political be liefs. He has been secretary to two Republican presidents and has been a cabinet officer in a Republican admin istration. That is his record. It speaks for itself." ALL FOR MILES. Prohibitionists Probably Will Nomi nate Him for President. Chicago, June 22. "There has been a wonderful change in sentiment in our party ranks in the last ten days con cerning the presidential nomination," sail Alonzo E. Wilson, chairman of the Illinois Prohibition executive commit tee today. "Most all of our prominent men have declared for General Nelson A. Miles and I predict his nomination probably on the first ballot, at Indian apolis next week. Sam P. Jones of Georgia or George W. Carroll of Beau mont, Texas, will be given the second place." filULHALL SHUT OUT. W ill Not Be Allowed on World's Fair Grounds by Officials. St. Louis. June 22.

Resolution Offered bj lUcbards Unanimously Adopted. BURTON GOES EAST. Only One Kansan Missed Getting Into Conrention. Delegation Is Located at tbe JJeach Hotel. Chicago, June 22. The Kansas dele gation has indorsed Senator Fairbanks for the vice presidency. The indorse ment came in the shape of a resolution offered by J. H. Richards, and was un animously adopted at a meeting spec ially called for that purpose. The proceedings of the Kansas dele gation throughout have been extremely harmonious. The state is represented heavily on the executive staff of the convention by a large number of assist ant doorkeepers and sergeants-at-arms, and their friends have no difficulty in getting passed into the convention hall. J. W. Fleming, of Jackson county, and his whiskers formed the subject of a humorous cartoon in one of the Chi cago papers as "A Kansas Product." Senator Burton, who has been a prominent figure at Kansas headquar ters, has left for New York. Henry Allen, of Ottawa, and W. Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson, have been reg ular visitors at headquarters. The seating of tbe six delegates from the Philippines by the convention was the result of personal efforts of Na tional Committeeman David Mulvane. He first proposed that the Philippines be given representation at a meeting of the national committee last fall, when Senator Hanna was still living, but his suggestion was not acted on at that time. A short time ago he had the matter referred to a subcommittee, which reported it favorably to the whole committee. The convention rati fied the action of the committee by seating the six delegates and giving them two votes, the same as the dele gates from Porto Rico. The Kansas delegation has comforta ble headquarters at the Beach hotel, in Hyde park, on the lake shore. There are 150 Kansas people in Chi cago, but one of them missed getting into the convention hall. He lacked patience or got left. D. W. Mulvane was not sure which. The Kansans did not have any doorkeepers, and they had to fall back on an old system. There were several assistant sergeants-at-arms. They went inside and gave their badges to one of their members, who went outside and pinned them on other waiting Kansans, who wore them into the hall and returned them to be used again for others. In the Kansas con tingent one pass or one badge was used by, in some instances, as many as a dozen men. Gomer Davies of Kansas has arrived. At Sioux Falls four years ago Mr. Davies was a leader of the national convention of the People's party and chairman of the Kansas delegation. Two years ago Mr. Davies returned to the Republican party and now he is an alternate delegate in the Republican national convention. Mr. Davies is something of a humorist and he espe cially likes to have fun with, the police men of a big town. "Have you seen Sturges?" he asked of a dignified officer on Michigan ave nue. "I don't believe I know him. the policeman innocently replied. "Don't know him!" exclaimed Davies. "Why, everybody ought to know him. He is' running for county attorney of Cloud county." The Kansas delegation was seated on the right of the hall.with Massachusetts in front and Arkansas behind. Mis souri delegates were placed on the ex treme left, with, none of their immed iate neighbor states near them. Kansas has a fine reservation almost BIG HOTEL IN THE WOODS A Tavern Inside the World's Fair Grounds, Surrounded by a Forest, Offers a Luxurious and Restful Re treat. COMFORT AT THE WORLD'S FAIR The comfort for the visitor to an exposition was never the subject for so much intelligent thought and preparation as it has been, at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. One of the features that cannot fail to appeal to the visitor is the conveni ence and comfort afforded by the In side Inn, a structure of 2,257 rooms, covering an area of 400 by 800 feet, wholly within the World s Fair grounds. Frobably no hotel ever built com mands a view so diversified or grand. From the wide verandas that sur round the mammoth structure a won derful panorama spreads before one. Many of the state buildings, with their giant and magnificent struc tures, present their most attractive facades. Some of the foreign build ings may be seen, and the forest of towers and turrets, domes and mina rets, rising above the great exhibit palaces and seen through the forests of real trees that surround the hos telry, give token of the other glories that lie beyond. A leisurely walk of five minutes will land the visitor on the main ter race in front of Festival Hall, the cen ter of the "main picture" of the Ex position, the grandest spectacle ever produced by man. Another five min utes walk and the visitor may find himself on The Pike, a street of amusement, a full mile long, with the shows of all nations in gay and en ticing array. In the ten minutes' walk many of the main exhibit palaces have been passed. These comprise the largest and grandest collection of architec tural triumphs ever assembled in any one place. Notwithstanding its close proximity to these scenes of gaiety and splendor, noise and confusion, the Inside' Inn offers a delightful retreat. During the noon hour the visitor may retire for a brief rest and resume his delightful task of sight-seeing re freshed and all the more able to ap preciate and enjoy the World's Fair wonders The t.t;h r.t il.'if hotel within the grounds at e no hthfcf than thoat; I rhmrorf.ri (j'wf i-r.

There is a restaurant in the building with a seating capacity of 2,500 persons. in the center of the convention hall, to the left or south of the main aisle. In the same section in the front rows of chairs is Indiana, behind Indiana is West Virginia; next is Massachusetts, and then Kansas. Arkansas is im mediately behind Kansas. Oklahoma and the Indian Territory are in the southwest corner. All, however, are good locations. Indeed, there is not a bad location anywhere in the space assigned to the delegates. The Kan sas delegates came in together and reached the hall after most of the other delegations had arrived and found their seats. The Kansas con tingent came from the Auditorium with the delegates, and made quite a demonstration when they entered the hall. PREJUDICE ALLEGED. Lafollette People Retire From Contest for Seats in the Contention. Chicago, June 22. The Lafollette faction of the Wisconsin Republicans declined to make a contest before tise credentials committer declaring that it refused to do so on the round that the committee on credentials was not an unprejudiced body and making the flat statement that they understood that some members of the committee had been "approached." What the nature of the "approach" might be, or by whom made, the La follette people declined to state. They entered into no particular simply making the broad and general charge of an "approach" and withdrew. The Lafoilette people were repre sented by W. D. Conner of Marsh field, Wis., Gilbert E. Roe of New York and Henry F. Cochems of Mil waukee. The burden of proof was on the contestants, and they opened and closed their case with a sins,:-? state ment by Mr. Roe, who said: "We do not consider this an unprejudiced committee. We understand that sev eral members of this committee have been approached, and we therefore decline to present our case, preferring to submit it to the people of Wiscon sin at the election next November. I will file with the committee this paper containing the statement I have just made." A dead silnece followed the speech. Some members of the committee scowled at him and others smiled sar castically, but not one word was said in reply. Mr. Roe advanced to the clerk's desk, handed up his paper, and then, in company, with Mr. Con ner and Mr. Cochems, left the com mittee room. The Lafollette people declined to make any statement as they left the committee room, but marched straight across the anteroom, down the stairs and left the building. The "Stalwart" faction upon leaving the committee room was handed the statement turned in by Mr. Roe and retired to the office of the' sergeant-at-arms to formulate a reply. Senator Quarles said: "They were. simply afraid to meet us on the floor of the convention or before the com mittee on credentials. Then they in sulted every member of the national committee and every member of the credentials committee and went away." Governor Lafollette left the city at 6 o'clock for Milwaukee, declining be fore he went to make a statement of any kind. ALASKA MAKES .TROUBLE. Urged in Committee That She Has Too Many Delegates. Chicago, June 22. There was quite a flutter in the committe on rules and or der of business, whiclj met after the first day's session of the convention adjourned, when objection was TrA.de by some of the middle west and eastern states over the proposed increase of representation of Alaska in the next convention. The com mittee selected Henry 11. Bingham of Pennsylvania for chairman, J. F. Man ning of Vermont secretary and Reno S. Harp of Maryland and J. M. Stevens of Idaho, as assistant secretaries. The rules of the last convention, as amended by the national committee, had been read when C. Fred Nixon of New York object ed to the amendment to the first rule which gives as future representation for Alaska six votes instead of four, as at present. He was supported in his objec tion by the delegates from Delaware, Lonnpcucut, Pennsylvania ana Minneso ta. Mr. Nixon urged that the continued increase in votes given to the territories was simply throwing into their hands th' control of the convention in event of a close contest. "The Democrat convention of 1S96," hej said, was controlled on the silver ques. tion by the votes of the territories, and to my mind it is high time that we cut down the representation' in convention not only of the territories, where no elec toral vote is registered, but in such states as always cast their electoral votes for the Democrat ticket. Representation in the convention should in a reasonable measure be representative of the number of representative votes cast and these states and territories should not out of mere sentiment be given as many votes as states that always cast their electoral votes for the Republican candidate." The Alaska member of the convention, W. E. Grant, speaking for the adminis tration, said his territory, with its great growth and shorn of much honor, asked the extra representation to be on a foot ing of equality with the other terri tories. Mr. Nixon protested that his objections were not raised against Alaska, but to the whole system. which, if adopted, would give about 42 votes in the conven tion to the territories, enough to control anv close proposition. "I agree rather with the late Senator Quay." he said, "who be lieved in reducing rather than increasing the votes of those states that do little or nothing to aid the party. Let the reward for Republican majorities he increased representation and the punishment for failure to assist, a reduced representa tion." The speaker was vigorously applauded, but the vote on the motion to allow Alas ka increased representation was 21 ayes to 9 noes. the southern r.nd western states voting solidlv for it. The committee then adopted the rules of the last convention and the 54th congress as the rules of the convention with these amendments: Rule 1 to read: The convention shall consist of a number of delegates from each state eoual to double the number of senators and representatives in con gress; six delegates from the territories Arizona, Indian Territory.

Rule S, relative to voting, and ruless 10 and 12 are amended to fit the above con dition. Rule 12 is amended so as to provide that 20 davs before the date set for the na tional convention a complete list of del egates and alternates, with notices of contests, must be tiled with the national committee. After the committee ad journed Mr. Nixon said that he did not intend to bring the matter before the convention, but he understood that the Quav proposition to reduce the southern states representation might come up, and if it did he would seek to amend it so as to reduce the territorial representation. One Woman Delegate. Chicago, June 22. In the convention there is a woman delegate who has the same right to vote that is held by each accredited delegate. She is Mrs. Charles A. Eldridge of Colorado Springs, Col., an alternate delegate whose principal was absent. Other women alternates present were Mrs Owen F I-efevre of Colorado, Mrs. Susan West of Idaho and Mrs. Jen nie H.

Releases General Office Clerks on Indefinite Furlough. VACATIONS FOR OTHERS. Employes Requested to Take Lay-off Without Pay. ,000 Clerks Affected by the New Order. Philadelphia, June 22. At a con ference between President A. J. Cas satt and Assistant Comptroller Max Riebenack of the Pennsylvania rail road, on the subject of reducing- the clerical force in the general offices of the company in this city, it was de cided that economies are to be accom plished by putting several hundred clerk3 on furlough and by requiring those retained in the service to take vacations without pay. More than 2,500 persons are em ployed in the general offices here and it is believed that more than 2,000 will be affected by the orders. Those who will go on furlough will receive no assurance of beins taken back. In effect these measures are equivalent to a 4 per cent reduction in salaries. Retrenchments decided upon for the general offices will be followed by similar ones at division points. There will be further reductions in the number of employes in the operat ing and maintenance of way depart ments. In every department orders have been given to cut down expenses. IX NEW FORM. Railroad Gazette Changes Its Dress for First Time in Generation. The venerable Railroad Gazette ap peared this week in new form, its size being the same as the Railway Age, which is a great improvement in itself. The Gazette explains the changes as follows: "An international combination pub lication, in London, of the Railroad Gazette together with the best known railroad paper in England will begin in the first week in July. The meth od of republication of nearly all the reading pages in this British edition makes it desirable and necessary to change the size of the leaf and the form of making up to which the Rail road Gazette readers have been ac customed for a generation. London Transport, which is the partner in the edition for Great Britain and other eastern continents, has maintained a vigorous increase in growth during the past 13 years, both in value and in a great foreign circulation, and it af fords the best possible basis for such a railroad publication as the world needs. "For the Railroad Gazette there are many advantages. The combined editorial staff and correspondents will get more surely and accurately im provements in railroad engineering and in operating methods in all coun tries. Correspondents may be as sured that their articles will be seen wherever there are railroads and rail road officers, and this is alike true of udvertisers in the Railroad Gazette. In amplifying the science and in work ing out the art of transportation. Transport and Railroad Gazette has an important mission. It Is an inspir ing undertaking and its editors and publisners have a deep feeling of re sponsibility in the serious work which is before them. If it is well done the world will be benefited." RU1LD TEXAS SYSTEM. Rock Island and Frisco Said to Have New Plan for the Gulf Ports. Austin, Tex., June 2 2. Big things are expected of Texas railroads just now. The Rock Island-Frisco combina tion figures chiefly in forecasts of what is to happen. Information from authentic source reveals to a large extent the plans of the Rock Island-Frisco-Brownsville combination and lays bare one of the most gigantic schemes of railroad building and manipulation ever un folded to the Texas public. There has for several months past been a per sistent rumor to the effect that there was something under the chip in the Rock Island people's yard, and re cent information fully bears out the belief. The information came from an ab solutely reliable source that this scheme comprehends the building up of a gigantic Rock Island-Frisco- sys tem in Texas. It is known that the Frisco is ar ranging to locate a line from Fort Worth or Dallas to Houston, with a view of connecting with the St. Louis, To Eol and Sloop you must get your liver, stomach and bowels right.

This line will, in all probabil ity, be built along the route already surveyed by the Rock Island, as it is recognized that this route is perhaps the most feasible, and in every way desirable one that could be selected for the purpose. A splendid roadbed could be built up along the proposed route, as it is out of the overflow region of the section it traverses and touches a rich and fertile portion of the state. If present plans do not miscarry, this new line will be in op eration within two years. This announcement will give added interest to the recently reported ac tion of the Rock Island in declaring the deal for the Central off, as the latter act has direct connection with the plans of the Frisco people to build up Houston. This, indeed, serves to explain the action of the Rock Island in giving up the fight, after having made so great a bluff over the matter. The new line will also be extended to Galveston. It is understood here that the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico road has a corps of engineers in the field locating the extension of that line to Monterey, and it is further understood that an engineering corps is now at work between Sinton and Houston, locating the proposed line between these two points. This corps is now said to be within forty miles of Co lumbia, working toward Houston. Col or is given to these assertions by the recent visit of the Frisco officials to Austin, presumably with a view of carrying out these plans. As report ed in the press of recent date, Mr. Yoakum will go to Mexico soon to secure certain concessions from the Mexican government for the building of the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mex ico road through that country. When completed this will give the Rock Island-Frisco lines direct through connection to the City of Mexico. It will give them a gigantic Texas sys tem, touching many of the most im portant cities in the state, including Fort Worth, Dallas. Houston, Galves ton, San Antonio, Brownsville and in termediate points, second to no other railway in the state. While the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico may remain nominally under the control of its present heads, it is to be inferred, of course, that it will be operated as a Rock Island-Frisco property, and, while a formal trans fer of complete ownership may not be made in the line for some time to come .it is generally understood that the latter will absorb it as soon as the plans mentioned shall have matured. W ILL PUBLISH A BOOK. George R. Henderson's Locomotive Articles Attract Much Attention. The Railway Age says: The series of articles on "Locomotive Operation." by George R. Henderson, which have been appearing in the Railway Age during the past six months, have at tracted wide attention and we have received many favorable opinions re lating to them. Some have expressed the desire that these articles should be published in book form. It has been our intention to do this and the material which we have available is sufficient to make a good sized volume. A considerable portion of it, relating to the various resistances. such as iriction, curve, grade, etc., and a pre liminary chapter on braking, will be omitted from the serial publication. The chapters yet to be published will treat of retardation, steam capacity, fuel capacity, the care of boiiers, fuel consumption and combustion. The aim has been to make the book such a complete treatise on locomotive operation that it will not be necessary to go to outside "reference books for the essential part of the calculations relating to locomotive performance. We believe the subject has not been treated so fully or in such an original maner as in the present articles which describe in a practical way the appli cation of scientific principles to mod ern locomotive practice. ROAST FOR TEXAS. Railway Age Says It Has Injured Its Railroad Prosjiects. It is impossible to see what the state of Texas has gained by compelling the Rock Island company to cancel its purchase of a half interest in the Houston Texas Central and other roads, which would have extended the operations of the Rock Island system from Fort Worth to Houston and from Houston to the Red river at Shreveport. says the Railway Age. The theory of the Texas authorities was that if the great company, which had already reached down to the state border, wsa not allowed to se cure the use of exisfine lines it would build parallel roads, and so "develop the state" by crippling roads already struggling with insufficient traffic and bringing in some more outside capital for doubtful investment. In the light of the disastrous history of railway securities in Texas, it seems little less than criminal to require the construc tion of two roads where one is more than sufficient, even if that is possible. But althousrh it can compel the Rock Island to keen out, the state cannot force it to build. That company will lop off 922 miles of lines from its prospective system, and Texas will lose the business and the prestige which the addition of the Rock Is land's train service over these lines would have given. AFTER TOPEKA BUSINESS. L. K. W. Puts on a New Leaven-worth-Topcka Train. Leavenworth. Kas., June 2 2. The Leavenworth, Kansas Western rail way now advertises the shortest and quickest route to Topeka, Kas., in connection with the A. T. S. F. rail way, at Valley Falls, Kas. Passenger service to Topeka in the evening has never been very satisfactory from this point, as one could not leave Leavenworth later than 4 o'clock and get to Topeka the same evening, and then only by going via Kansas City. The new service established, effec tive today, by the L. K. W., allows one to leave Leavenworth at 5:35 p. I m. and reach Topeka at 8:20 p. m. Through tickets are sold in connection with the Santa Fe nt Valley Falls, and as these nnes use tne same aepot at alley rails, and make close coi ise connec- tions, it makes the best service In every way. Return service allows. one to leave Topeka at 8:20 a. m., arriving at Leavenworth at 11:35 a. m. The L. K. W. should be able to get a good share of business to Topeka on this schedule. DUTCH AFTER HARRIMAN. Will Try to Shake Him Out of the Kansas City Southern. Despite official denials, evidence is accumulating that the Dutch stock holders are determined to oust the Harriman interests from control of the Kansas City Southern railroad. It is now known that the recent in crease of $10 a share in Kansas City Southern stock was due to the buying up of the stock by Herman Sieckltn. He is now in Amsterdam, in consulta tion with the Dutch stockholders. When, the voting trust in Kansas City HOW TO FIND OUT.

Gould, has; appeared before the college entrance examination board, at Columbia uni versity to try for admission to the school of mines next September. He took the preliminary examinations a. year ago, passing with a high rating. He wiil take the course in mechanical engineering, which includes the study of machinery, mechanics, steam, elec tricity, the construction of dynamos and motor?, industrial chemistry and the testing of materials. Jay, the second son of the railroad magnate, will study law. STILL USE THE TOWER. Strikers Spy on What Is Doing P.ehind San Bernardino Stockade. San Bernardino, Cal., June 22. The Santa Fe strikers still keep their con ning tower near the stockade in con stant use. One or more watchmen are kept in the tower watching the movements of the men employed in the shops inside of the stockade. The men by the use of field glasses, claim to be enabled to keep an accurate check on all locomotives taken into the shop for repairs and all sent out. as well as all other work carried on. Raped on Information gained in this and other ways, the strikers assert that the railway people are making little headway on. the repair work as compared with what it has been accustomed to in the past. NEW MAIL CLERKS. Rock Island GlTen Additional Help on Kansas City Trains. Wichita, Kas., June 22. C. M. Reed, chief clerk of the railway mail serv ice, has been advised by the postofflce department that it has allowed two additional postal clerks on the Rock Island on trains 35 and 36 running into Kansas City. I his move was t made owing to the extension of the local service. Two clerks have also been allowed, on the El Paso line of the Rock Is land. As far as is known there hava not yet been any appointments made, but the positions will be filled by July 1. ROCK ISLAND NOTES. Company Floats 87,500,000 of Short Time Ixian Paper. New York.

"Trunk-line Traffic and the Differen tial Rates to and from the Seaboard" la the title of a monograph just issued by the department of commerce and la bor through its bureau of statistics. It forms a part of the monthly summary of commerce and finance, and discusses the pending question of differential rates on the trunk lines between the seaboards and the great grain and stock producing interior of the United States. The trunk-line railroads between the Is'orth Atlantic seaboard, and the sur plus grain states of the central west have, it says, for fully a half century, been the chief agency in the distribu tion of the nation's surplus supply of breadstuffs. To these carriers, starting from different points on the sea and converging upon competitive points of assemblage of surplus food products in the interior, we owe more than to any other single agency the degree of com mercial ascendency now enjoyed by the t'pited States in the world market. Their capacity to lay down regularly, month by month and year by year, cheap food supplies In European mar kets, by co-operation with ocean lines, has converted large portions of western Europe from agricultural to industrial communities. The transition of leading continental states from the agricul tural regime prior to 1ST0 to the indus trial and commercial order of the last 25 years coincides with the rise of the American trade in which the American trunk Hues have so long been the rul ing factor. Not only has the enormous economic expansion within the United States been made possible, but also the economic development of Europe has been forced into realization. The problem of these highways has rarely been duly appreciated. The trunk-line problem is not a local pro blem, tjut preeminently a national pro blem. If considered from the stand point of the domestic producer and the foreign consumer it may be stated as follows: Between the price of grain in western America and the world-market price in western Europe there is a var iable difference to be divided between the distributive agencies, including traders, bankers, and transporters. The trader does his part of the work for a fixed rate of commission plus a specu lative profit; the banker obtains a reg ular rate of discount, from which risk is practically eliminated by insurance; and the transporter tries to get 'the residual share, but is subject to the foresight of the trader and the banker who are really the custodians of the commodity in store or on its way be tween producer and consumer. If the transporter holds his services too high for trader or banker to profit, the com modities await a higher price or a low er -ight charge, and production is ul timately restricted. If the trader holds his services too high, the banker him self may find it to his advantage to utilize surplus credit in financing the movement of commodities. If the bank er in turn exceeds the limit of reason able charges, credit from elsewhere comes in to do the work. Such is the mobility both of capital and of business management within national limits that no representative of commercial service can for any considerable time make his own terms for his part in the annual distribution of any agricultural surplus. The student of commercial charges in their relation to prices of foodstuffs finds there is one governing tendency pervading the whole history of trunk line operations, viz, that this difference between producers' price and consum ers' cost tends in the long run to be come a diminishing proportion per unit of the value of foodstuffs generally. In other words, the residual share, made up of the difference between what the producer gets and what the consumer pays, goes to commerce in its various functions, but that the portion to be divided up among traders, bankers and carriers lias been gradually pared down to a margin which probably ten years ego would have been regarded as ruin ously unremunerative. Th problem has, from this point of view, a twofold character:- First, whether as a question of general eco nomic welfare it were better to inject a larger element of competition into trunk-line business, and thus for some lines, if not for all, diminish still fur ther the residual portion which, must be shared among the participants in trade; or whether, on the other hand, it were better to maintain conservative limitations on competition in the form of differential rates as a means of checking the downward tendency of commercial charges in general and of freight rates on foodstuffs in particular. Viewed from a strictly nationar stand point these would seem to be the alter natives at issue. From this standpoint it would seem that a solution of the question might lie within the reach of the interests im mediately concerned the railroad lines and the cities which they directly serve. But such is too limited a view of con ditions. The trunk lines with their termini, both east and west, lie between expanding areas of surplus production in the west and the maritime bases for the world market on the east. The western areas of wheat and corn pro duction have for some years been shift ing southwestward beyond the Missouri and the areas of spring wheat produc tion have been tending northwestward on both sides of the international boundary. As a result of this expan sion new trade alignments have been laid down. On the north the Canadian lines reach the sea by lake, canal and river, or by rail; while to the south new trunk lines have been forming on both sides of the Mississippi. These bases are the north and south lines of transportation between Chicago and New Orleans, Mobile and Pensa cola, east of the Mississippi, and be tween Minneapolis and Galveston west of the Mississippi. Between these two lines the river directly or indirectly contributes toward the lowering of freights on these commodities south ward toward the Gulf ports. The river rate on grain, St. Louis to New Orleans, averaged 5 cents per bushel in 1903. A study of the map of the growth of rail road facilities along these main lines will show how rapidly the .north and south trunk lines are making them selves masters of the grain territory in the states bordering directly on the Mississippi, and especially throughout the Missouri river territory. The recent competition of railroads west of Chi cago to find outlets to the Gulf, Includ ing the efforts of the Rock Island System, the Missouri Pacific, and the Atchison, Topeka. Santa Fe, has re sulted in a condition by which each and all of these lines can carry grain with equal advantage into Chicago on the one hand or to Gulf ports on the other. The area of competitive territory has been widening rapidly in recent years. The effect of this improvement in posi tion is to give these roads a strategic advantage. It is said to be common talk in Salt Lake that the Mormon church can kpontrol twenty electoral votes and will swing this against eitner party wiai countenances the popular crusade against the hierarchy. The church be lieves that it holds the balance of power between parties in Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Oregon. Some people seem to be worrying on account of a fear that Col. Bryan will not bolt. It will be remembered that the Gold Democrats made Just as much trouble when they didn't bolt as when they did. Probably Judge Parker will derive encouragement from the success of Fairbanks. The Hoosier senator just sawed wood, and the vice presidential nomination took him in. The public appears to have reached the conclusion that the delegates to Chicago could transact the business of the convention without any extra neous assistance: Russians are still telling how it happened. They say the Japanese batteries in the battle of Tellssu were connected by telephone. It will be noted that Col. Bryan declared in his latest New York speech that the money question is not para mount this year. Col. Bryan's Cooper Union speech indicates that there will be some thing doing at St. Louis in the early days of July. The "Lodge idea" appears to be the one most likely to prevail in the tar iff oi-ink of the Chicago platform. J VYIIAWKEU JOTS. Oherryvale has ordered all pig pens from the town site. Out at Jennings beer is sold under the title of alfalfa water. Several alleged harvest hands have found work on the rock pile at New ton. Here's a tip to the Topeka Saints. Grant county has two rattling good lady baseball nines. Blue Rapids men have invented an electric fire alarm and a swing. Both will be tried out July 4th. An agitator who tried to organize the Great Bend harvest hands in a trust got only chaff for his pains. A colored girl is attending the Nor mal at Mound City but there will be no school for her in Linn county. In skinning a big snake at Syra cuse three unbroken turkey eggs were discovered resting in the serpent's bosom. Tvwj Edna citizens planted five acres each of genuine Kentucky blue grass. But now that it is heading out it has proven cheat. Only 13 dogs at McPherson are bay ing at the moon with taxes unpaid. Disbelievers in "13" being unlucky can watch those canines. A spoony couple at Wellington walks along, his arm around her waist, her arm around his neck. And that's the long and the short of it. An Anthony harvest hand is wear ing three diamonds in his shirt front. He can easily add a linger ring to the collection after the season closes. Selden's two ministers appear to know something besides ordering cot lections taken up. One is building a barn this week; the other a house. After reading the recital of a coun try editor's woes by Ed. Hoch, one can't blame him very much for de siring to quit the sanctum for the state house. Two Lawrence paper carriers have saved enough money since Christmas to take them to the World's fair for two weeks including a day on the Pike and red lemonade. Neodesha will endeavor to confine the Fourth of July celebration to one day. But it's mighty hard to keep the fire cracker and the small boy apart for a week beforehand. The editor of the Latham Mirror saw a funnel shaped cloud "that didn't come to the ground as we noticed." Here's betting that if it had come to the ground he would have noticed. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. The best way to educate a bright young man is to put him to work. If your enthusiasm lasts only forty minutes, you can't expect it to buy you anything. If a child thoroughly enjoys playing with a kitten, the kitten doesn't live to grow up. There are a great many people who can be pointed to with pride aside from the "prominent citizen." It make3 an old fashioned woman very mad for any one to call a doctor when a person is in a faint. The average woman aeems to take it harder when she loses a handkerchief than when she loses a friend. Children soon learn that it is father who has the money, and mother who has the generous disposition. One of the wonderful things in trade is that a woman's hat can cost so much in early spring, and so little in mid summer. Four pianos were all going at once in one neighborhood recently, and when it was over it was decided that Bedelia had won. Speaking of the good ooints of The Globe: An eight column paper is a good deal handier for tying up things than a seven column paper. No woman can entirely get rid of the notion that whenever a tired man is worked in the interest of an idle wo man, The Cause has been advanced. Dr. Evans, who is in town today af ter an absence of many years, is mak ing himself very popular by telling peo ple that they do "not look a day older." Ever hear a butcher abuse his rival? He always says his rival has dried beef on the hoof. (Chart: The beef critters killed by the rival are so poor that they are fit only for dried beef.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. A word to the unwise is superfluous. Love is blind and the homely girl Is glad of it. Politics has made a few men and un made a great many. A woman's maiden aim is to change her maiden name. A man's house is his castle unless it is in his wife's name. When a man shines in society he sel dom shines in business. Truth Is all right in its way, but flat tery is often more satisfactory. Money talks, but that of a miser doesn't make extravagant speeches. Where there's a will there's apt to be a won't and a couple of lawyers. When a man is working for himself he doesn't have to employ a time keeper. A woman's worth is usually more than she can extract from her hus band's pockets. When a man helps his wife with the housework it takes her about twice as long to finish. A bachelor physician says the mic robes in kisses are often fatal at least they often develop matrimonial germs. Listen to what your friends say of others in your presence if you wish to get a line on what they say of you when you are absent. A woman can't understand why her husband has to work so hard to make both ends meet when he is so much smarter than other men. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The averaee voune man's oblect in life is to become some girl's subject. 1 An "appetizer" really does erive a man an appetite for more appetizers. It seems funny, since talk is cheap, that anyone should speak of talk as "gas." Wigwag "I hear Brown is as good as married.'' Henpeck "Better. He's still single." A peculiar thine about the Delaware peach crop is that if it doesn't fail it will go into the hands of receivers lots of them. I fsome men who ko west to srow un with the country would only grow up to it they'd stand some chance of being tug. When a widower eives it out that he doesn't want to inflict a step-mother on his children, you may depend he's dis covered that no other woman wants him. 'Miss Richl y Mabel I love you!" ex claimed young Dremer. "Ah, if I could only prove my love; if, like a knight of old, I could only go and tight for you." ou may go ana speak to papa, said the girl, demurely. Reporter "Senator Buncombe, merely mentioned the fact that the Republican party would oppose the Trusts. Shall I say that?" Editor "No. You may say he 'merely mentioned the alleged fact, etc' When Cupid shoots his little dart Well aimed to pierce a young man's heart It orten pierces, sad to tell. His poor weak pocketbook as well. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. It's awful easy to convince a girl she's too pretty not to be kissed. It takes a great deal of money to be admired for acting as if you hadn't a red cent. When a girl wants to ride horseback straddle generally you can see the rea son for it when she does it. A woman always has an idea that if her husband had brain fever he would really tell her how much he loves her.

Mr. Cannon in his speech on assuming the gavel departed at times from the text of his prepared speech, but the de partures were flashes of his keen sar casm of rugged humor that never failed to arouse applause. "Our friends the enemy," he said, "come out with strong lungs as 'trust busters,' but did anybody ever hear of their doing any 'busting?' That young true man in in Washington has seen to it that laws are enforced, and they went out of existence. That's the dif ference between us and the other people. One "busts' by wind; the other 'busts' by law" and here the convention once more broke into loud cheers. His assurance that the "man in the White House" Theodore Roosevelt would enforce the laws, was the signal for another tribute of applause. As he uttered the words "good-bye" at the close of his address, the delegates rose, cheer ing and waving hats, flags and hand kerchiefs. The chairman paid but lit tle heed to the applause after one bow as he closed, but returning quickly to his seat entered upon the work of the convention. The band played "The Star Spangled Banner," the delegates and spectators rising. There was a stay in the proceedings after the close of Mr. Cannon's speech, while Mr. Root and others on the plat form crowded around the chairman to thang him for his speech. Mr. Cannon remained apparently oblivious to the demonstration. The band drifted into a medley of popular airs, the cheering stopped and there was a hiatus of some minutes. Many delegates began leaving the hall after Mr. Cannon's speech. Finally Mr. Cannon rapped for order and called for the report of the com mittee on rules, which, was presented by General Bingham of Pennsylvania. General Bingham in presenting the report stated tha tthe committee had adopted the rules of the Fifty-eighth congress. C. A. EMftlERTZ GONE. Mis Brother Fears That He Has Fallen Into River. C. A.

Governor Bailey and the members of the Kansas delegation in congress have each received this week a letter from Pension Commissioner Ware, in which Mr. Ware says: "The Post a newspaper here in Washington, asserts that pensions are being issued under order No. 78 to sol diers in the 'doubtful' states for the purpose of influencing elections and that claimants from other states are being delayed thereby. The statement is wholly untrue, and will be taken no notice of except that I wish you to know that your constituents are re ceiving the very same attentions that any others are receiving. Respectfully, E. F. Ware, commissioner." FATHOMS DEEP. Dy M. Quad. One day, as we of the American brig Sally" were cutting in a whale to the north of St. Helena, the English bark Empress came up from the south, and the two crafts remained in company for three or four hours. The Empress had then been out of port forty days without a capture, and crew and captain were disgusted. More than that, she had been through a severe gale and had three men hurt and had lost sails and topmasts. Cap tain Travers was a fine seaman and an old whaler, and had never brought an empty ship into port, but the fact remained that the Empress had not even yet lowered for a whale. Two weeks later, just after we had cut in another whale and scrubbed our decks, and while we were under easy sail to the south of the island, we lowered for a school of whales and got two. There were twelve in the school, and ten went off to the southwest without being frightened. We were making our captures fast to the ship when the Empress came down on us from the east. She was now fifty-four days out and ill-luck still pursued her. After she had part ed from us a fortnght before, she had lowered for a whale and lost two harpoons and lines and half a day's work for nothing. Subsequent to that, two men had fallen from aloft and broken arms or legs, and she had run down to us to buy oil to keep her lamps alight. As I was third mate of the feajly, I had opportunity to discover the state of feeling aboard the bark, Her crew were on the verge of mutiny, and Captain Travers had become alarmed for the safety of the ship. The men had come to regard him as a Jonah, despite his previous lucky voyages, and on the day he ran down to us for the second time he had come to the decision that if his run of ill luck was- not soon broken he would return to Bristol with an empty ship. He had been aboard of us for a couple of hours, talking things over, when a monster whale broke water within half a mile of the two crafts. We put the man aboard of his ship as soon as pos sible, but long enough before he reach ed her his mates had lowered and were away. The hour was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, with fine weather and a smooth sea, and we were permitted to knock off work and see the fun. There were those aboard the Empress who said that it was the same whale which, had been met with before and had escaped them. At any rate, he had a harpoon sticking into him and was badly tangled up in a line. He was rolling on the surface when both boats came up and made fast at the same moment. For twenty seconds after be ing struck the monster did not move a a loos 1 f MB "MidejIliS C9 I 1 BULLETIN FOR THURSDAY 4th day's specials for our Anniversary Celebratio Still the crowds are taking advantage of our VALUE-GIVING sale satisfied crowds, too, they are, for it is not any old shop-worn merchandise that we are price-cutting it's fresh, new goods that are being offered.

Butler county leads all the other Kansas counties in the production of prairie hay. Butler county raises four per cent of the entire prairie hay crop of Kansas. The shaded map prepared by Director T. 1i. Jennings, of the Kansas department of the weather bu reau, shows the per cent of prairie hay raised In the different counties from the reports taken during the last census. The total for the state is 100 per cent and Butler county is the only county In the four per cent class. Cowley, Sedgwick, Greenwood and Marion come next with small areas growing three per cent but the greater part of the areas in each of the four counties raising two per cent. The key to the shaded map pre pared by Director Jennings shows that Kastern Kansas raises more prairie hay than the western counties. In Butler county where there are miles upon miles of rolling prairie the chief product of the county is cattle. But ler leads all other Kansas counties in fin. Then he started off with a rush and made a complete circle around both ships, leaving such a wake behind him that there were times when we lost sight of the boats in the foam. Having completed the circle, the leviathan slewed about until he was head on to the first mate's boat. He lay for a moment, swinging his lower jaw to right and left in a vicious way, and then made a rush. The boat at tempted to shoot ahead and ayoid him, but he caught her amidships with a swing of that terrible jaw and left only fragments behind as he headed between the two ships and went off to the south. The second mate's boat was obliged to cut loose to pick up the other crew, but three men, one of whom was the chief mate, had lost their lives. When the extent of the calamity be came known abroad the Empress, open mutiny resulted. The men demanded th3t she head away for Bristol, and two hours later she was homeward bound. Never did a more disgruntled crew reach port. Tiio owners at once removed Captain Travers from command and gave him a bad name and the crew had to dodge to escape ar rest for their mutiny.

Every year thousands of head of cattle are shipped Into Butler county to graze during the summer on the succulent prairie grass. This year the range pastures of Butler are crowded with foreisn cattle there to fatten and go down to the market next fall. More cattle have been shipped into Butler county to graze this year than ever before. Butler with its 1,428 square miles is the largest county In the state and there is room for a good many cattle. Butler county can al ways report from 60,000 to 90,000 head of cattle besides the 4 0,000 or 50,000 shipped in to pasture.

TOPEKA STATE JOUHTAX WEDNES DAT EVENING. JUNE 21, 1901. 5 OIL MEM WILL SUFFER. Activity of the Standard in Kansas the Cause. Toledo, O., June 22. The oil op erators throughout Jhe Trenton Kock field In Ohio and Indiana are of the opinion that the price of crude oil will remain rjuite steady, as there Is Bothing in sight to show cause for a decline. Kansas operators will nat urally have to suffer to some extent, as the Standard is building a large refining plant near Kansas City. The refinery will be connected with a pipe line to the tield, which is an enormous xpendtture. and again many big iron torag? tanks will be put up, to say nothing of the many different connect ing pipe lines in the different fields. The producer naturally must settle for all this great expense, hence the price of Kansas crude oil will naturally be cut to a price to make up the cot of all this work. The Kansas and Indian Territory iielrls are now ca pable of an output of close to 16.000 Carrels of oil a day, and the pipe lines at the present time can only are for about half of it. In the Ohio field there is not the ac tivity that is shown in Indiana, owing to the scarcity of driilable territory. The most promising oil pool in Ohio today is located several miles east of Toledo, in Oregon and Jerusalem Township, Lucas county. The wells found there are above the average, and quite a number of wells are dril ling. The Krie Oil company's last well on the Niles tract, looks better than 100 barrels, and the Allen Oil company's well is some larger. Out side of these two wells, with the ex ception of a strike in Wyandot coun ty, that looks good for 300 barrels, no other section of Ohio had any wells of the 100-barrel variety. Indiana did better, "as three big ones were completed in the deep ter ritory in Delaware county. The Princeton field in Oibson couritv. now only a year old, and In an out-of-the-way place at that, has more than 60 wells completed and close to 50 of them are producing between GOO and 600 barrels a day. The field also pro duces about 20,000.000 cubic feet of gas daily. The cost of completing a well there Is close to $2,500. It will yet develop into an important produc ing area for the state. HE GAV E TO CAMPAIGN" FISDS. Reason Given for Trying to Secure Pardon for Mike Thompson. The following is from the Kansas City Journal: Xearly all the politicians in Topeka have signed a petition to Governor Bailey for the pardon of Mike Thomp son, a noted gambler, lately sent to jail by Judge Hazen. Thompson was the king of the Topeka gamblers, and when the law and order element suc ceeded in closing his place the little fellows left town. Thompson was a liberal giver. He contributed to the campaign fund of every party and the bread thus cast upon the waters is returning In the form of petitions for his re:ease from prison. The law and order people are protesting against the purdon. but the odds are in favor of the ioiiticians. AT LEAST SEVENTEEN" STARTERS Are Being Conntetl Vpon for the World's Eiir Handicap.

Apparently noth ing is known in regard to the disap pearance of Kent J Loomis, brother of Assistant Secretary of State Loomis, who was a passenger on board the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, which left New York June 14 and arrived at Plymouth Monday morning and at Bremen yes terday. Inquiries made at Bremen show Mr. Loomis was seen at mid night Saturday, and that he was missed at noon Monday. No one seems to know what happened in the inter val. The representatives of the agents of the line who boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II at Plymouth spoke to Captain Ooegemann, the purser, the doctor of the steamer, and others on board, but they had heard nothing of the disappearance of the passenger. A dispatch received here from Bremen today reads: "The North German Lloyd com pany has no information about Mr, Loomis beyond the fact that he was missed an hour before the arrival of the steamer at Plymouth. Whether it was an accident or suicide is not known." A dispatch from Paris says that apprehension has been aroused there concerning the whereabouts of Mr. Loomis, and that on the request of friends the agents of the company are making inquiries. DEATH LIST GROWS. Xumber of Bodies of Slocum Yictyns Recovered Sow 858. New York, June 22. A determined ef fort to ascertain as nearly as possible the number of persons who took passage on the excursion steamer General Slocum when she started on her fllfated trip up the sound one week ago today, has been begun under the direction of the police department. One hundred patrolmen have been detailed to visit the homes of every person whoso name has been in any way mentioned in connection with the disaster. These officers will make up a list of names of persons who went on the excursion from their several districts. with their individual fates. From these lists a final report, embodying all the names, will be prepared. Tiie list of known dead, which had reached 846 up to 2 o'clock this morning, steadily increased since that hour. Before daylight 12 more bodies had been taken from the river and nearly every succeeding hour added to tne total. Sue for Mftle Rent. Kansas City. June 22.

A meeting- of the baseball associa tion will be held tonight at the Elks' club after the conclusion of the regu lar meeting of the local herd, at which time further subscriptions to the To peka Baseball Park association will be solicited. At the present time the fund amounts to 800. Just as soon as it runs up to $1,000 the contract for the new ball park on the Dudley tract will be let and the building operations started. All of the share holders will be made recipients of 10 per cent of each day's gate receipts. Then Put Aside the Drug-drink for a Short While and Try The state board of legal examiners has formulated a new rule. It is that all persons desiring to practice law in Kansas must take an examination, whether they have been practicing in other states or not. If, however, they can show that they have been in actual practice before the highest tribunal of Some other state for at least three years, and have used the law as a pro fession and not as a side line, they con stitute a class by themselves and will not be put through the same examina tion that i3 given beginners. Here is the rule: "All applicants who shall be other wise qualified, and who have been ad mitted to practice in the highest court in another jurisdiction and have prac ticed there continuously for a period of three years or more, and continued to practice there or elsewhere up to the time of making application here, shall constitute a class and be examined sep arately, in such manner as the board may determine." There were seven applicants who came under this class before the board of examiners Tuesday. This is the first time that has happened, and the new rule was made to fit their cases. Del Valentine, clerk of the supreme court, says that if a supreme justice from another state should come into Kansas to practice law he would have to take some sort of an examination just the same. The bunch of seven Tuesday were let off with an oral examination, but the board can give any kind of an examination it sees fit These savor, fl were Frank L. Slaughter of Kinsley, J. lj. bnea or Independence. H. H. Mont gomery or Sedan, J. C. Horn of Garden City, J. E. F. McGee of Independence. Herman Long of Wa-Keeney and D. H. S. Davis of Independence. Slaughter came from Iowa a few months ago. He practiced law there for seven years, but sold out two or three years ago and has roamed around considerably since. He visited Kinsley several months ago and got acquainted with Fred Dumont Smith. Smith want ed Slaughter to locate in Kinsley and go into partnership with him. He of- lerea to see that Slaughter was nomi nated for county attorney by the Re publicans this summer if he would form the partnership. Slaughter nrreprl and Smith carried out Yds promise. Slaughter is already the Republican nominee for county attorney. Recently the proposition was sprung on him by the PopuHsts and Democrats that while, he practiced law in Iowa he has never been admitted to the bar in Kansas. The only thing for him to do was to submit himself for an examination be fore the state board of legal examiners, which he did. It is known that these examinations are by no means easy, and Slaughter's hair has been standing on end for fear he would not get through, but it is said today that he is safe. The process of becoming admitted to the bar is not the Joke it was before the new law went into effect placing admission in the hands of the supreme court and requiring applicants to take an examination before a state board. The board puts the applicants through severe tests, not only in book law," i the kind they get in the text books, but the examiners watch the court reports for intricate problems on which courts themselves study for months and then disagree. "I doubt if most of the old lawyers could pass a first-class examination on the" questions submitted," said Del Val entine today. "They would get caught on the book law. After a man has been practicing for 15 or 20 years he Is apt to get rusty on the things in the text books that the young law students know all about. On the other hand the catch questions which make the supreme court judges study for weeks are apt to worry the young applicants into a state of nerv ous collapse. Fortunately no weighty matters rest on the decisions they hand down. For instance, here is a problem sub mitted Tuesday which is a parallel case with the Orient-Santa Fe litigation in Lyon county: "The Electric Railway company owns certain lands in Topeka which are nec essary for its own use. The A. T. S. F. Railway company desires the same premises, and begins condemnation procedings, alleging that they are ab solutely necessary for its use. What will be the Judgment?" This- problem has already been before the supreme court two or three times. Here is a question in practical politics which some of the applicants may be called on to solve in real life, the way politics in Kansas is drifting: "A. and B. are both candidates for appointment to an office having a sal- li M and even 10 days' trial will show really big improvement, for there is a great, grand message to humanity in POSTUM. and it will not take long to show even in the worst, sickest, broken-down coffee toper. Don't sit on th2 fence and howl, "Nonsense, coffee don't hurt me; why, I've drank it all my life," but make a litte trial that will prove something. If you say, like thousands of others, "coffee don't hurt." you are only guessing. The re ward is BIG if you do find out you're wrong, and 10 days' trial of POSTUM WILL THERE'S A REASON.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 22, 1904 WANTOMIYER. Fuslonists Would Nonilnato Hfm for Congressman at Large. He Would BeStrengthening Fac tor on Ticket. HIS GREAT AMBITION. It Is to Fill a Place In the Na tional Congresr. John Curran, Candidate for Secretary of State. It is altogether likely that David Overmyer of Topeka will be the fu sion nominee for congressman at large. Mr. Overmyer Is not helping along his own boom to any extent and while some of the fusion leaders may have discussed the question of his nomina- VS.. .1 ifh-'rA J J I'll Sf 11,11 .'H t; II 'Ml HUM IMP David Overmyer, Who Will Probably Be the Fusion Nominee for Con gressman at Large. tion with him the probability is that he has done little to encourage his friends. The men who are behind the latest Overmyer boom are not actuated by friendship alone but they believe that the chances of fusion success in Kan sas will be considerably enhanced with the Tojeka man on the state ticket. He is recognized as one of the strong est men in the state in any party. The people who ere well acquainted with Mr. Overmyer know that his greatest ambition is-to be a congress man or a senator.---He understands his own powers as well as any one and he must realize as well as his friends that he would be heard from in either branch of the national congress. There has been a determined effort to have Mr. Overmyer accept one of the three places on the ticket as a nominee for railroad commissioner. He has never yet declined in positive terms to be a candidate for this place, but his friends say that when the time comes he will decline to allow the use of his name because It is not the kind of a position he would care for if elected. It is practically a foregone conclu sion that David Dale of Wichita will be the fusion nominee for governor nd it Is also known that Mr. Dale would like to see Mr. Overmyer in a prominent position on the ticket, for fie admits that he would be a strength ening factor well worth consideration. It Is doubtful, however, if Mr. Over myer would consent to make the kind f a campaign that Mr. Dale would like to have made, that is to devote all the attention to state issues and the Re- f ubllcan state candidates and leave na lonal issues alone. Mr. Overmyer's entlments are strongly anti-Roosevelt end while he might not be particularly enthusiastic with Parker as the nomi nee for the presidency the campaign fnanagers would have a hard time con trolling the Topeka orator and with fcliles as the nominee he would be whol ly unmanageable. Mr. Overmyer Is like Ingalls m this respect for it is well known that the brilliant Kansas sena tor would never submit to the dictation cf campaign committees. He preferr ed to say what he pleased in his own way. But whatever Mr. Overmyer may co or say the leaders of the fusion forces know that his would be a good name to have on the ticket and unless 11 signs fail it will be there. There is another Topeka man who mill undoubtedly have a place on the etate ticket and he is John Curran, who will probably be nominated for secre tary of state. Mr. Curran is in renlity trom Parsons but he came to Topeka several years ago to be secretary cf the Populist state central committe; and has never gone back and therefore To- eeka claims him as a citizen. Mr. Curran is a Populist and has a wide acquaintance in the state. While he has never led the fusion forces to victory he has done the kind of work that brought him into touch with par ty workers everyhere and this fact puts him in demand as a candidate. Mr. Curran is also very energetic and de servedly popular. The positions on the fusion ticket if there is fusion will not go begging this year. The leaders seem to think that there is a chance to win in Kansas this year and this feeling has been com municated to the prospective candi dates and there will probably be sev eral candidates for every position on the ticket. There is little sentiment against fusion this year and it is ta ken for granted by the Republicans that there will be a union of the op position forces. A GAMBLING WAR. KTlchlta Court Officials Refuse to Issue Warrants. Wichita, Kan., June 22. The manda mus proceedings which L P. Campbell theratened to bring last week, and which were expected to precipitate an other "whisky war," took another turn Tuesday when it became known that Cefnpbell. in explaining to the supreme court why he had not begun his action in the district court, had made charges against Judge T. C. Wilson. The origi nal papers in the case were received by County Attorney -Eckstein. Judge Wilson has called a meeting of the bar for toiy when he probably will ask that the matter be investigated. The alternative writ of mandamus was received and served upon Judge G. H. Alexander and S. L. Barrett, clerk of the city court. It requires them to issue warrants for the arrest of about a dozen alleged gamblers upon the complaint of Mrs. Sarah A. King, or to show cause for not so doing by June 23. They refused again to issue the war rants and will file their answers Thurs day. The affair grew out of an experi ence of a son of Mrs. King. He lost, it was alleged in a petition filed some time ago, about $2,300 in a "joint." Mr. Campbell was attorney for Mrs. King. RUSSIANS LOST 1,200. Body of 8,000 Soldiers Surprised by Japanese. London. June 22. A dispatch to the Daily Mail under date of June 21 from Newchwang says: While a Russian force of 8,000 under General Kondradtsvitch was traversing Wafungko ravine nine miles southeast of Kaychou June 9, It was surprised by concealed Japanese artillery. The Russians lost heavily, their cas ualties being 1,200 in number. General Kondradtsvitch extricated his men and led them in good order to an entrenched position. LOSS $500,000.

Hall Co, broad silk; Van Kirk Lum ber company; Henry Doherty, silk; Olympic Velvet company Paterson Silk Throwing company, Post Shel- aen, ana several other minor firms. POOR BURTON. He Was at Chicago But Had No Part In the Proceedings. The correspondent of the Kansas city btar at Chicago sends his paper the following: In one corner of the Auditorium hotel there stood this afternoon a man of rather distinguished appearance who looked at the throng- about hirn much as a small boy while in disgrace looks at the children who refuse to permit him to join in their play. Oc casionally a glance would be thrown in his direction by some western dele gate who would immediately hasten by, appearing to fear that he might be recognized and spoken to. Four years ago the man who thus stood alone and friendless led the Kansas delegation to tne .Republican national convention which met in Philadelphia. It was he who made a speech to Theo dore Roosevelt serving notice innn him that he would not be permitted to oecime tne nomination tor vice presi aent, and that his name would be presented to the convention by Kan sas regardless of the attitude of other states. It was J. Ralph Burton, then regarded as a rising man in politics, and by many thought to step into the snoes ot tne late senator John J. I galls. Since 1900 Mr. Burton has been elected to the United States senate, he has been brought to disgrace by his action in accepting what amounts to a bribe; he now stands convicted of a crime, and with a jail sentence hang ing over his head he awaits the action of higher courts to which he has ap pealed. After looking- at the conven tion crowd for a few hours this after- nono, Senator Burton took a train for the east, knowing he might have no part in the proceedings that interest his party. PLATFORM ACCEPTED. By Full Committee as It Came From the Sub-Committee. Convention Hall, Chicago June 22. The full committee on resolutions ac cepted the work of the subcommittee practically as it was presented and there was no controversy worthy of the name. The committee met at 10 o'clock today and had completely finished its work at 11:40. Senator Lodge ,as chair man of the subcommittee, read its re port and a motion being made to adopt the work of the subcommittee as the work of the complete organization it prevailed without dissenting vote. The only discussion was over minor points and there was no reference in what was said of the tariff or trusts or other similar subjects. Senator Car ter of Montana sought to secure a change in the interstate commerce dec laration pledging- legislation to amend from time to time the interstate com merce law so as to make it conform to the decisions of the courts and the re quirements of changed conditions, but ne was overruiea on tne ground that a general declaration was sufficient to cover tne question. There was also slight discussion of other features, but it consisted of re plies to questions rntr"1ed to secure a lucid view of the matter. I 'w1 yO 70V WORK PERFORMED1 WITH RUSH. Continued from Page One.) We have passed laws for the improve ment and support of the militia. We have pushed forward the building of the navy, the defense and the pro tection of our honor and our interests. Adimiiislralioii of Affairs. Our administration of the great de partments of the government has been honest and efficient and wherever wrong doing has been discovered, the Repub lican administration has not hesitated to probe the evil, and bring offenders to justice, without regard to party or po litical ties. Laws enacted by the Re publican party which th Democratic party failed to enforce and which were intended for the protection of the public against the unjust discrimination or the illegal encroachment of vast aggrega tions of capital have been fearlessly enforced by a Republican president and new laws insuring responsible publicity as to the operation of great corpora tions and providing additional remedies for the prevention of discrimination In freight rates have been passed by a Re publican congress. In this record of achievement dur ing the past eight years may be read the pledges which the Republican party has fulfilled. We propose to continue these policies and we de clare our constant adherence to the following principles: Protection which guards and devel ops our industries is a cardinal policy of the ReDUbliean party. The meas ure of protection should always at least equal the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. We insist upon the maintenance of the principles of protection, and therefore rates of duty should be re adjusted only when conditions have so changed that the public interest de mands their alteration. Object of Democracy. But this work can not safely be committed to any other hands than those of the Republican party. To entrust it to the Democratic party is to invite disaster. Whether, as in 1892, the Democratic party declared the protective tariff unconstitutional, or whether it demands tariff reform or tariff revision, its real object is al ways the destruction of the protective system. However specious the name, the pur pose is ever the same. A Democratic tariff has always been followed by bus iness adversity so a Republican tariff is followed by business prosperity. To a Republican congress and a Republi can president this great question can safely be entrusted. When the only free trade country among the great na tions agitates a return to protection the chief protective country should not fal ter in maintaining it. We have extended widely our toreign markets, and we believe in the adoption of all practicable methods for their fur ther extension, including commercial reciprocity wherever reciprocal arrange ments can be effected consistent with the principles of protection and with out iniurv to American agriculture. American labor or any American indus try- Upholds Gold stanoara. We believe it to be the duty of the Republican party to uphold the gold standard and the integrity and value of our national currency. The mainten ance of the gold standard, established by the Republican party can not safe ly be committed to the Democratic party which resisted its adoption and has never given any proof since that time of belief in it or fidelity to it. While every other industry nas prospered under the -fostering aid of Republican legislation, American shipping engaged in foreign trade in competition with the low cost or con struction, low wages and heavy sub sidies of foreign governments, has not for manv years received rrom tne gov ernment of the United States adequate encouragement of any kind. We therefore favor legislation which will encourage and build up the American merchant marine and we cordially ap prove the legislation of the last con gress which created the merchant marine commission to investigate ana report upon this subject. A navy powerful enough to defend the united States against any attacK, to uphold the Monroe doctrine and watch over our commerce is essential to the safety and the welfare of the American people. To maintain sucn a navy is the fixed policy of the Re publican party. We cordially approve the attitude of President Roosevelt and congress in regard to the exclusion of Chinese labor and promise a continuance of the Republican policy in that direc tion. Civil Service. The civil service law was placed on the statute books by the Republican party which nas always sustained it, and we renew our former declarations that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced. We are always mindful of the coun try's debt to the soldiers and sailors of the United States and we believe in making ample provision for them and In the liberal administration of the pension laws. We favor the peaceful settlement ot international differences by arbitration. We commend the vigorous efforts made by the administration to protect American citizens in foreign lands and pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and equal protection of all our citi zens abroad. It is the unquestioned duty of the government to procure for all our citizens, without distinction the rights of travel and sojourn in friendly countries and we declare ourselves in favor of all proper efforts tending to that end. Our great interests and our growing commerce m the orient render tne con dition of China of high importance to the United States. W,e cordially com mend the policy pursued in that direc tion by the administrations of Presi dents McKinley and Roosevelt. The Negro Question. We favor such congressional action as shall determine whether by spe cial discriminations the elective fran chise in any state has been uncon stitutionally limited, and if such is the case we demand that representation in congress and in the electoral col lege shall proportionately be reduced as directed by the constitution of the United States. Combinations of capital and labor are the results of the economic move ment of the age, but neither must be permitted to infringe upon the rights and interests of the people. Such combinations when lawfully formed for lawful purposes are alike entitled to the protection of the laws, but both are subject to the laws and neither can be permitted to break them. The great statesman and patriotic American, William McKinley, who was re-elected by the Republican party to the presidency four years ago was as sassinated just at the threshold of his second term. The entire nation mourn ed his untimely death and did that jus tice to his great qualities of mind and character which history will confirm and repeat. The American people were fortunate in his successor to whom they turned with a trust and confidence which have J been fully Justified. Tribute to Roosevelt. President Roosevelt brought to the great responsibilities thus sadly forced upon him, a clear head, a brave heart, and earnest patriotism and high ideals of public duty and public service. True to the principles of the Republican party and to the policies which that party had declared he has also shown himself ready for every emergency and has met new and vital questions with ability and with success. The confi dence of the people in his justice, in spired by h's public career enabled him to render personally an inestimable service to the country by bringing about a settlement of the coal strike, which threatened such disastrous re sults at the opening of the winter in 1S02. Our foreign policy under his ad ministration has not only been able, vigorous and dignified, but in the highest degree successful. The complicated questions which arose in Venezuela were settled in such a way by President Roosevelt that the Monroe doctrine was sig nally vindicated and the cause of peace and arbitration greatly ad vanced. His prompt and vigorous action in Panama, which we commend in the highest terms, not only secured to us the canal route, but avoided foreign complications which might have been of a very serious character. He has continued the policy of President Mc Kinley in the Orient and our position in China, signalized by our recent commercial treaty with that empire, has never been so high. He secured the tribunal by which the vexed and perilous question of the Alaskan boundary was finally settled. wnenever crimes against humanity nave been perpetrated which have shocked our people, his protest has been made and our good offices have been tendered, but always with due re gard to international obligations. At Peace With All. Under his guidance we find ourselves at peace with all the world and never were we more respected or our wishes more regarded by foreign nations. Preeminently successful in regard to our foreign relations, he has been equally fortunate in dealing with do mestic questions. The country has known that the public credit and the national currency was absolutely safe n the hands of his administration. In the enforcement of laws he has shown not only courage, but the wisdom which understands that to permit laws to be violated or disregarded opens the door to anarchy, while the just en forcement of tne law is the soundest conservatism. He has held firmly to the fundamental American doctrine that all men must obey the law, that there be no distinction between rich and poor, between strong and weak, but that jus tice and equal protection under the law must be secured to every citizen with out regard to race, creed, or condition. His administration has been thorough. vigorous and honorable, high minded and patriotic. We commend it without reservation to the considerate judgment of the American people. MASS MEETING, Addressed by Secretary Shaw at the Auditorium Chicago. June 2 2. Secretary Shaw and Representative J. Adam Bede of Minnesota addressed an immense mass meeting in the Auditorium last night. Frank O. Lowden presided. Both M-r. Bede and Secretary Shaw were accorded an ovation. Mr. Bede began by paying a tribute to McKinley and Hanna, and said their lives lWwild be ran Inspiration for men to gro-on .with the work they naa Degun. Ajpiausa -tteetea nis as sertion that the people of the United States sympathize with Japan in her struggle with Russia because Japan stood for liberty and a higher civili zation. Continuing he said the south ern people regarded the black people of the south as a great burden to them. In all the history of the world he declared there had not been an other example of progress such as the black men of the south have made in the last forty years. secretary Shaw defended the prac tice of American manufacturers who sell abroad cheaper than at home. Some articles thus sold are protected in this country by patents, and are not so protected in the foreign countries. Further, the manufacturer is allowed a rebate on imported raw material when he exports the finished article. and this permits a reduction of price. Nearly every class of goods imported into this country, said Secretary Shaw, is obtainable below the regular foreign market, showing that foreign manuiacturers do tne same thing that is complained of by critics of the American tariff. WOMEN OX HAND. Platform Committee Is Asked to In sert a Suffrage Plank. Chicago, June 22. Before confiding the work of constructing the platform to the sub-committee the full com mittee on resolutions of the Repub lican convention listened to a dele gation of woman suffragists, and also to Representative Bartholdt of Mis souri, who presented an international arbitration plan. The committee adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock this morning, and Sen ator Lodge at once convened the sub committee. Representative Bartholdt's plan reads as follows: "We favor the peaceful settlement of international difficulties by arbitra tion and advocate the negotiation of arbitration treaties between the gov ernment of the United States and the government of other nations." Ralph Loveland, a member of the committee, presented a plank pledg ing the party to further improvement of waterways, but that such improve ments be confined to channels within the United States. He said a great deal of our river and harbor work had been done In Canadian waters. An application was made for a hearing by the Afro-American league and Negro Suffrage association. A peonage plank was presented by Del egate H. L. Johnson of Georgia, as follows: "The growth of a new system of involuntary servitude in several states without conviction through the courts and known as peonage, appalls the conscience of the country, and we commend to the Republican members of congress the enactment of such additional laws as will effectually for bid and punish the same." TARIFF PLANK. It Declares for the "Cardinal Princi ples of Protection." Chicago, June 22. The tariff plank agreed upon by the sub-committee de clares for the "cardinal principles of protection." and further, that the "rate of duty should be the difference between the cost of production in the United States and abroad. The rates of duty should be readjusted only when conditions have so changed that the public interest demands it. All such changes should be made by the Republican party.1' A long paragraph was adopted In relation to reciprocity, after a very exciting and protracted contest, by a bare majority. Several votes were taken on this subject, and it was re considered two or three times before being finally agreed to. It is a decla- ration for ''commercial reciprocity which is possible only under a pro tective tariff, and whenever reciproc ity arrangement can be perfected without injury to any industry." The opposition to the reciprocity plank was led by Mr. Blythe of Iowa, Representative Daizell and Senator Hansbrough, while Senator Lodge and Senator Foraker persisted in an effort to secure the declaration. It was urged that reciprocity had been in dorsed by previous platforms, and more particularly in the last speech of President McKinley at Buffalo, and had-been followed by the present ad ministration in carrying out the pol icies of the McKinley administration. More time was spent on this issue than all the remainder of th niat. form, and all opponents only consent ed to agree when it appeared that the fight might be taken into the com mittee on resolutions and possibly be fore the convention. As the matter stands now the sub-committee will report unanimously, and It is expected its action will be ratified by the com mittee at its meeting today. "BLACK AND TANS" WILL FIGHT. Louisiana Faction Dissatisfied With Committee's Ruling. Chicago, June 22. The "black and tan Louisiana faction flniiori .rtr leaving the credentials committee room mat tney would carry their contest on to the floor of the convention. the Cohen people believe that a irreat in justice was done them by splitting their vote vilii tne "Lily Whites" and are determined to fight to the last. A con testing delegation from Alaska, com posed Of A. V. Watson. T. M Marlrhnm J. P. Rudd and L. M. Tisdale, appeared ueiore tne creaentials committee to file a claim for the seats held by the dele gation headed by John Y. Heide. They were not accorded a hearing because they had not filed their paper in time. Mr. Rudd of the contestants said: "We never knew that we were obliged to file papers. So we have Just traveled 6.000 miles to make this fight and now can not state our case." CHARGES AGAINST ADDICKS. He Is Accused of Using Money to Con trol Election of Delegates. Chicago, June 22. The credentials com mittee organized for work with Senator McLomas of Maryland In the chair. By unanimous voie tne committee upheld the action of the national committee and declared the J. K. Addicks delegation from Delaware entitled to seats. A hear ing was granted to both sides and the anti-Aaaicks taction, through its attor ney, charged that Addicks had at differ ent times used some $330,000 to obtain the election ot his lieutenants and in the ef fort to elect himself United States sena tor. Mr. Addicks rose to a question of personal privilege and emphatically de nied tne enarge. ne was not permitted to make a speech, however, but replied to questions from the committee. The fight between the contesting delegations at large for I.ouisiana was long and vig orous and was terminated by the decision of the committee to seat all four dele gates at large from the Lily White and an equal number from the Black and Tans, each to have one-half a vote. Xo Rlsht in Kansas. Information has reached the state department of insurance that the Northern Insurance company of Chi cago is trying to do business in Salina and "other towns of central Kansas. C. H. Luling, superintendent of insurance, says that the company has no authority to do business in Kansas and that it cannot come into the state. FAIRBANKS. (Contlnued from First Pag-e. north. Fairbanks did his devoir in that campaign after a fashion the country ad mired. He had contributed greatly to the nomination of McKinley and now he had done even more for his election. His speeches had great effect on the sane electorate. (and he was in demand every where. It was now that he made a na tional reputation. The last term of Mr. Voorhees as a sen ator in congress from the state of In diana was about to expire and the leg islature was Republican in both branches. Mr. Fairbanks sought the office of sen ator and was chosen to it. He became a member of the senate the day William McKinley, an altogether kindred spirit, became president of the United State. The president had the utmost confidence in this brother Republican and brother Methodist from Indiana. They were ear nest men:they looked on life as a serious thing; they devoted long, patient, and laborious thought to public matters, view ing them from every available standpoint. They were both Republicans to the mar row. They believed in the party of Lin coln, of Sumner, of Wade. They abom inated the Democratic party as the widow of slavery and the servant of economic heresy. They believed in the dogma of protection and otehr species of paternal ism, and, with a single exception, it is probable that no man had more influence in the councils of William McKinley than Charles W. Fairbanks. During his whole career at the bar Sen ator Fairbanks refused to seek political preferment on the conscientious grounds that his time was not his own. but had been bought and paid for by his clients. It is true that he made frequent speeches in hotly contested political campaigns, but none of them was at the expense of a client, and, perhaps, it is not improper to say that no speech of Charles W. Fair banks ever cost the Republican party a cent. He always paid his way. No po litical committee ever lost anything by this man. And so it was the same when he en tered the senate. He declared that his time belonged to his eountt-y, and he had a public duty to perform, and that it was not his pu: pose to serve two mas ters. To this end he wound up his Jaw business and has steadfastly refused all retainers. He is a well-to-do man, but by no means the multi-millionaire he has been rated by some people. He is eco nomical in his personal expenditures, but he is exceedingly generous with his purse. He never counts the cost when a legiti mate demand is made on his charity or his generosity. when Senator Fairbanks erot to the son- ate there was much of faction in Repub lican politics In Indiana. Benjamin Har rison wis the state s most illustrious citi zen and ablest man. Oen. Harrison never conciliated an enemy, probably because he could not. Combativeness! Combative ness! Combativeness! was stamped all over that stroncr countenance mentally, morallv, physically Harrison was a fight er Such a man was bound to have ene mies. He could, not get along without them. They were as much a part of him as the spots are a part of the leopard, or the pigment cell is a part of the Ethio pian. Next to Morton he was Indiana's rr0)t(!t srm. and inte Hectuanv ne sur- naaVerf fvm Morton. Thus it was bound to be after Harrison left the White Tinnsf that the Republican party of Tn- Hic.r,. was rlivided into Harrison Republi cans and anti-Harrison Republicans. Though he sunported the Harrison ad tratinn r-ordiallv. Fairbanks was never was what was" called a Harrison man. and he got to the senate over th n.vnn,Hinn tf manv of that faction. But the Republican party of Indiana is today united as it has not been since the close to theh big war of lWI-'fS. Faction has vanished, and the man who did it is the senator from Indiana.

Bearish Tone In Wheat Pit Not withstanding Conditions. Sentiment fn Corn Fit About Equally Dirided. LIVE STOCK TRADE. Cattle Are Steady Satires Selling at $4.25 to G.40. Hogs Steady Bulk of Sates at $5. to $5:15. Chicago, June 22. WHEAT Not with standing the favorable weather conditions in the south and the bearish tone of tb Iowa crop report, sentiment In the wheat pit today was bullish. Offerings were quite liberal at the start and initial quotations on July were unchanged to Vt,e lower, at 84fa84-'4C. September was unchanged to a shade higher, at 7yiy8'K:. Firm cables, small receipts and the bullish Prussian crop report soon brought out a consider able demand. Offerings were not forth coming in sufficient quantities to satisfy this demand and in consequence jrices were forced upward, July advancing to 5854c. September sold up to SJSso'-ic. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 185 cars, against 146 "cars a year ago. CORN Sentiment In the corn pit was about equally divided, the tine weather and bearish tone of the Iowa crop report offsetting the effect of light receipts and higher cables. Trading was light and mainly by scalpers. July opened a shade lower to a shade higher, at 48;g4Se. sold off to 48V4Si48c and rallied to 4f September opened a shade to c lower, at 441i5ic, and sold up to OATS Oats were firm, influenced by the Prussian crop report and by a big de crease in receipts. July opened unchang ed to higher, at ZV'i iAiC and sold up to 3c. September opened unchanged to a shade higher, at 32isc to 32fe32lAc, and held firm at 3214c, PROVISIONS Provisions were weak on general protit taking. The weakness was more pronounced in view of the small receipts of hogs and firm prices at the yards. September pork opened VYqzc lower, at $13. 13.20, sold up to $13.30, but declined again to J13.15. Lard opened h'i 10c lower, at JT.lS'e-T.ZO, and held within the opening range. Ribs were SQc to 1012140 lower, at 7.62iy?i7.67.

UP TO JUDGE HAZEH. AMU Decide IT Sheriff Lucas Is En titled to t'itj- Court Fees. The .board of county commissioners has deMded to investigate the coni j'iaints that have been made to the board about the manner in -which legal papers are served, or not served, by the city court officials. Captain J. T. Wimrode is marshal of the city court and the deputy is Lam bertson. Captain Wintrode has been sick and absent from duty In the city court since February 1 and Lam bertson has been unable to keep up the vnrk of serving legal papers although be has worked early and late. On account of one man not being able to do the work the sheriff's office has been called on to help out and serve rapers. Sheriff Lucas and his officers have aided Lambertson and served many papers. Sheriff Lucas has filed his bills for fees for serving these city court papers and the fees have been re jected by County Auditor Welch for the reason that all the officers of the city court are paid regular salaries and the fees they collect are turned over to the county treasurer. Under the law providing1 for the city court and the payment of salaries the county commissioners and the county Auditor do not think the sheriff should be required to serve any papers nor to receive any fees. The salary of the marshal is $l.vo a year and that cf the deputy marshal $soo a year. Captain Wintrode's health has been poor for many years and since he was riveted marshal of the county be was nbio for a time to so to the court house and look after the office work connect ed with his duties but was not able to go about the city and county serving papers. Since February 1 Captain Win trode has not been able to even go to the court house office. He has been suffering with a severe attack of rheu n lat ism. Before Captain Wintrode was elected marshal of the city court he was con stable of a justice of the peace court in Topeka for many years and as such made a good record. Even then he was unable to journey about but he directed the deputies under him In an able and efficient manner.

In order to stop the drumming up of silly cases by the justices and marshals and deputies in order to work up large bills for fees, the judge, clerk, marshal and deputy marshal of the city court were all placed on salaries and the fees paid in to the city court to go to the county treasurer. Under this system the city court is the means of a great saving to the county. While the fees do not pay all these salaries the yearly expense for this one court, after the fees are paid to the county, is many times less than under the old system of half a dozen justice court running opposition to each other. The condition of affairs in the city court, the claims of Sheriff Lucas Tor fees, have been embodied In an agreed statement of facts which will be sub mitted to Judge Hazen for him to de cide whether the county is liable for the fees in cases from the city court where Lucas serves the papers.

Sawyer was taken off the top of a Rock Island baggage car in North To peka last night, where, with three oth er men, he was attempting to ride. Af ter he got down off the car a railroad officer, Bert Cowdry, fired a shot at him, and then he was caught by Jamr s Markley, another railroad officer, and turned over to a policeman. Before turning him over to the police, how ever, Markley or Cowdery or both of them, gave Sawyer a black eye. Cow dry said that the defendant struck him, but he bore no marks of conflict, as did the victim. Sawyer told a straightforward story, and it won with the court. He said that he had a homestead in Cheyenne county, and had gone to Kansas City to take medical treatment with some concern. The medicine men had taken more of his money than the advertise ment had led him to believe they would, and he was left with only money enough to pay his fare to To peka. He wanted to get as far west as possible, and when the train stopped in North Topeka he sought means of rid ing further. He saw three men on top of the"aggage car. and climbed up with them, but had not ridden far when a man yelled at him. called him a "bum" and told him to get down. He climbed down and started away after jumping off the train, when he was tired at. caught and beaten in the face by his captors. The court took some time to the case, and closely questioned the defendant, who said that he had never been in trouble before except when a cattle man tried to run him off of his littlj hor,:estead in Cheyenne county. Th railroad men told a different story, in substance that Sawyer had ridden the top from Kansas City, and had fought and acted in a very abusive manner when taken off. Sawyer was discharg ed. MR. C.

Address of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, On Assuming Permanent Chair manship of the Contention. HE POINTS WITII PRIDE To the Republican Party and Its History. Traces Record From 1860 to the Present Day. Chicago, June 22. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon on assuming the perma nent chairmanship of the convention spoke as follows: The, Republican party was born with the declaration that slavery was sectional or local, and that freedom was national. It has ever been a na- j Sneaker Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, Permanent Chairman of the Re publican National Convention. ttonal party, its policies benefiting! every section and every man in the republic. It made its first successful contest for power in 1860, with Abraham Lincoln as its standard bearer. Secession followed. The war for the maintenance of the union was waged for four years, arid such a con test of arms the world had never seen before and perhaps never will see again. In the end slavery was abol ised and freedom became universal within the borders of the republic. With a bankrupt treasury and a bankrupt credit, the party, under the lead of Lincoln, went back to the policy of Washington and wrote upon the statute books the revenue laws imposing duties on imports that would produce revenue and at the same time protect every" citizen of the United States in diversifying the in dustries of the republic. It was a con test for free men and for free labor everywhere within our borders. The policy of protection has been the shib boleth of the Republican party from that day to this. Under this policy, from an insignificant manufacturing country in I860 by leaps and bounds, while we still remained first in agri culture among the nations of the earth, we have become more than first in manufactures. More than one third of all the manufactured pro ducts of the whole earth is produced by American capital, by American la bor, which works shorter hours than Any' people on earth, and on the ave rage receives, conservatively stated, one and three-fourths dollars compen sation where similar labor elsewhere receives but one dollar. Our manu factured product year!; is greater than the manufactured product of the peo ple of Great Britain. Germany and France combined, and this product is substantially consumed by our own people, rinding a market within the borders of the republic. Although our exports of manufactured product are rapidly growing, last year they were over four hundred million dol lars twenty-nine per cent of our to tal" exports. It is not a few men of great wealth that make good markets. 50c Music 19c I

T T T T T T V TYTTTTTTT T 1 1 TTVTTT but it is the multiplied millions that work today and consume tomorrow, with interchange of their respective products amongst one another; and the prosperity of the farmer on one hand and of the operative on the oth er, depend on the prosperity of each as producers of their respective pro ducts and as consumers of the pro ducts of others. Home Siarket Greatest in the World. We are one harmonious whole, and if one or more of the great industries is injuriously affected, those engaged in that line of production cease to be valuable customers for all the other producers in the country. If we did not sell one particle of our immense product outside of our own borders, we would still have the best market of any people on earth. It has been said, and truly said, that our market amongst ourselves is of greater amount and value than the interna tional markets of all the world, amongst all the peoples of the world: and while our people are seeing to it that our foreign markets shall grow and we are now the greatest exporting nation on earth yet it is absolutely necessary that we should see to it that we continue that policy which enables us to dominate our own markets and to continue the present and growing wage of our own people. I can perhaps best present to you the progress of the country by stat ins that the wealth per capita of the United States in 1S50 was $307, while in 1900 it was $1,233. and by stating furthep that the totil wealth of the United'states in 1SB0 was $16,000,000 and in 1900 94 billions and now over one hundred billions. Progress Measured by Fostofliee. But I can give a better illustration of the progress of the country under the leadership of the Republican par ty by referring to the postoffice de partmentthat great service that gathers no penny of money except by the voluntary contributions of the peo ple of the republic. Since 18S!) the rates of postage have been practical lv reduced more than one-half. In I860, the year that the Republican party firt tame into power, the reve nues of the postoffice department were in round numbers eight and one-half million of dollars, while the expendi tures were nineteen millions a defi cit one and one-fourth times as great as the income. The revenues of the city postoflice last year were greater in amount than the total postal reve nues of the whole country in the year 1860. Last year the revenues of the postal service were 134 millions, and the deficit only four millions, or less than 3 per cent, and this, too, notwith standing the very large growth of rural tree delivery, involving an ex penditure of ten million dollars. This year the revenues have not been as certained, but will safely increase by ten millions, and in the coming year by another ten millions, all of which measures, and truiy measures, the commercial prosperity and well-being of the people. Wolves Would Frnteet the Sheep. For more than sixty years the Dem ocratic party has denounced protec tion as robbery and their cry has been sometimes, "A tariff for revenue only." sometimes for "Progressive free trade throughout the world." but whatever the expression may be. they have al ways been ready, when clothed with power, to run the dagger into the pro tective policy. And such is still the position of that party. In the closing days of the late session of congress. Representative Cockran of New York, preached the pure Democratic faith: and there never was in my recollec tion such a demonstration as came from the Democratic side of the house when, with flaming eyes and wild ges ticulations and enthusiastic faces, they sprang as one man. with cheer after cheer interrupting the business of the house until they couid mark their ap proval of the policy in which they believed. In it is true that in maga zine articles and by careful speech and sentence here and there men like Senator Gorman, Representative Wil liams and others, while denouncing protection as robbery, say that if the Democratic party is clothed with power they will not destroy the sys tem overnight, yet they each and all avow that they will journey in the direction of a tariff for revenue oniy and of free trade. In other words, if they are given power, the Ameri can manufacturer and laborer will be gradually starved to death instead of being destroyed at one stroke. It re minds me of Aesop's fables, where the wolves proposed to the sheep that they should discharge the dogs, their natural protectors, and place them selves under the protection of the wolves. Does capital on the one hand and labor on the other desire such protection? Profits, Not Oeficits. Produce StriUes. But the little politician cnes out that strikes abound here and there in the country. Yes, they do. but contests that lead to strikes, where an adjust ment is not made and where arbitra- 0u sune Are Now In Progress The month of June has been a notable one at this great distributing center In the way of large values and heavy selling. The late Spring found us with more merchandise than we wished to invoice on the first of July. That fact has been responsible for some of the deep est price-cuts ever made by this firm. The result has been the greatest June selling In our history. Have you and your friends been taking advantage of these great special sales? During the rest of this month this store should be, and will be, a Mecca for those shoppers who care to buy good, dependable merchandise and save more money in the buying than they ever did before. At the present time many stocks throughout the store are marked down to almost their actual cost, and in some cases even below cost. Furniture. Carpets and Rugs and Draperies, Shoes, Women's Suits, Millinery. Men's and Boys' Clothing and Uouse Furnishings ar some of the sections in -which one dollar will often do the work of two dollars. This is the time to go to Kansas City and shop at Emery, Bird, Thayer's. We wish to lay especial emphasis upon the point that no matter how low the prices, the mer chandise we offer Is characterized by one fundamental element in all good, reliable merchan dise Quality. And QUALITY tells. Yours to Serve, Emery, Bird, Thayer Co IS&ns&s Cit Mo. 'Mi'U'.'f.-! tion fails, are quarrels between organ ized labor and organized capital about the division of the profits. As has been well said by another many years ago, there were not many strikes when the Democracy had full power under Grover Cleveland because there were not profits to divide. There are profits to divide now, and with a people who work shorter hours and who are on the average more fully employed and with a larger wage than was ever paid before in the history of the hu man race for a similar amount of work they will not be led into destroying that policy which renders these things possible because of a local trouble here and there touching a division of the profits. But it is alleged that great indus trial combinations have been formed and over-capitalized, and that they oppress their employes on the one hand and the consumer on the other. It is true that extraordinary combi nations have been formed. That they have been, in the main, capitalized to their full value and by the aid of the printer and engraver securities have been issued in many instances to many times the value of the properties com bining, is also true. Xo M?.n Above the Law. The Republican party ever ready to keep pace with the industrial devel opment of the country, has enacted legislation within the constitution, pro hibiting such combinations; and Pres ident Roosevelt, our president and our president to be, has kept his oath te see to it that the laws are enacted. And by the decisions of the highest courts, the Republican legislation has been sustained, and the laws are being enforced. All are equal before the law. both the high and the mighty, the meek and lowly, the capitalist and the laborer, whose capital is his mus cle intelligently directed, the rich and the poor all. all have equality of op portunity before the law, and all, all must abide by and obey the law. Our civilization is built upon obedience to the law. "By this sign we conquer." We enter the coming campaign with the record of the Republican party, under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt, feeling that we have made progress and marked progress along the line of law and order, contempo rary with the development of our ma terial interests. Shrinkage of Wind and Water." In addition to this, and as a fur ther illustration of the condition of the country, let me call your atten tion to the fact that the people of the United states now have far greater wealth than the people of any other country on earth. Capital ts abun dant: interest rates are decreasing and capital seeks investment. And while the law prohibits unlawful combina tions, great blocks of competitive pri vate capital have been and are being invested in all the industries of the country. It can be easily foreseen that when a legitimate plant comes inti- competition with a plant that is capitalized for two or three times its vaiue. the over-capitalized plant will go to the wall. It Is an open secret that within the last two years the shrinkage from over-capitalization has been many, many hundreds of millions of dollars. The property is all there now. as it was two years ago: but the wind and water and the gas have dis appeared greatly to the advantage of the people of the country. And yet on the average, I say again, our peo ple are better employed and at a bet ter wage, and have been for the last twelve months, than ever before. And notwithstanding this great shrinkage of fictitious values, the millions of pec pie throughout the country who live In the sweat of their faces, do not know thereof and are not affected thereby. Competition the Oreat Trust Buster." The trust buster who is always "busting" the trusts by word but never by action, would lead the people to believe that all the production of the country is under the direction of un lawful combinations. Behold how plain a tale shall put that down. The statistics carefully and honestly gath ered by the government show that competition is after all the great force that regulates production and the price. If you take all the alleged trust properties engaged in production in the year loo they produced 14 per cent, while the independent fac tories produced S6 per cent of the fac tory product of the country. It is im possible to permanently corner capi tal, and muscle and the raw materia which nature has produced in such abundance. But why multiply words? The his tory of the country from 1893 to 1S97 for the four years under Cleveland and Democracy as compared with what we have today, tells the whole story. That of Cleveland was marked with dissension and disaster, not only to his party but to the people, and that of McKinley and Roosevelt with harmony and prosperity unparalleled. Tlie Pliirlit of Anarchy. The last work of a Republican na tional convention, held at, Philadel phia in the year 1900 was overwhelm ingly endorsed by the American peo ple and remarkably successful admin wpe-invcnT.orvale.s istration of President McKinley was continued; but in an hour of univer sal peace, when partisan criticism was stilled by the spread of prosperity, the blight of anarchy, imported from an other shore, struck down our Chief Magistrate and brought the whole world to his bier as mourners. Uni versal sorrw stopped the pulse of in dustry, not in fear, but in profound respect of the memory of the man and the president who died breathing "Thy will, not mine, be done:" for in that hour a vigorous, energetic young man stood beside that deathbed pledging his life to the policies of his prede cessor. We had confidence in that pledge; and nobly has it been kept. The new president took up the bur den of office with caution but without fear, for he had the Republican party behind him and the success of its poli cies everywhere In evidence. The last three yeaVs of the administration have been marked by the same success as those that preceded and today, as in Philadelphia four years ago, there is no division in the Republican councils as to the standard bearer of the Re publican party. The history of civilized government is a record of peaceful administration under established policies, not of new laws or new interpretation. In the Old World a new law or a new policy, affecting the general welfare of the people is an event of a generation. In this country newlaws come more frequently; but those of a general char acter rarely oftener than once in an administration. The McKinley admin istration wad marked by a new tariff law which restored prosperity; a gold standard act, which gave stability to our currency: the annexation of Ha waii; a short and triumphant war with Spain which brought freedom to Cuba and placed Porto Rico and the Philip pines under our flag. The administra tion of Roosevelt has brought to an end the cry of "Imperialism" with growing civil government in the Phil ippines and a free and independent government In Cuba; the purchase and authorization of the Panama canal, the arbitration of the coal strike and the decision that trusts are amenable to the authority of law. These are some of the acts of the Republican party under the administration of President Roosevelt: and there is not a responsible American citizen who dares deny that they have, one and all. been for the general good of the whole people: and that they are, one and all, endorsed by the people. Let us make our nominations in or der and appeal to the people of the country for a renewal of power to the Republican party, standing by our policies, ready to legislate where leg islation would be productive of more good than evil from the economic standpoint, but refusing to legislate and lose the substance of success in val" effort to secure the shadow that abideth not. and satisfleth not either the intellectual nor material existence. "VOT FOIl JOE." Cnnnon Would Bather Hoe Potatoes Than ISe Vice President. Chicago, June 22. "Do you suppose that at my age I am going to let them stick a peacock feather Jn my collar and then break my neck trying to ad mire it?" "Do you suppose that any one Is going to give me a large black pill when I don't fee! a bit sick "Uncle Joe" Cannon's protests against the persecutors who are trying to force him into the ice presidency took on a more earnest tone than ever last mgnt, and Just before retiring at the Great Xorthern he exhausted his picturesque phrases in scornful criti cism of his boom. The speaker spent the day mingling with the leaders at the Auditorium, and after the fight in the Illinois dele gation had been settled he appeared in the Annex lobby in a dress suit and slashed away with the lurid vocabu lary of the "frontiersman" which Sen ator Chauncey Depew says he is. "Do you suppose that convention will squirt the virus into me without my trying to smash the hypodermic syringe? They won't dope me. that's certain. I'd sooner so back to hoeing potatoes than be vice president. They won't attach any gaudy tail to me that would give me curvature of the spine every time I wanted to admire my self. Not much. "I don't want to talk about the vice presidency. I said all I am goingto say four weeks ago in Washington, and that ought to be enough. I'm satisfied where I am, and they won't get a chance to put me on the shelf with a nice label like they put on rasp berry jam. Not at my age.

Miss Helen Varick BoswelU one of the women at tending the convention, is famous in New York as a campaign orator. She began her political career in 1S95, and in the following year, during the first x-Ltiir?! vaiii paigc it, b)ukp on prac tical politics before the Republican League convention at Binghamton. Her address, which was received with great enthusiasm .showed that she had. formed her own opinions of certain phases of the political situation. In this year's campaign Miss Boswell will have charge of the "spellbinding" in New York city, and with sixty-five women assistants she intends to go into the tenement -districts and win thousands of votes tor the Rooseveit ticket. EWIXG WON HIS CASE. North Topeka Jointist Goes Free on His Representation. John Ewing. a North side colore! man charged with running a Joint, acted as nis own attorney in ponce court this morning and won his case. On June 5 Policemen Hutton and Small, and McDonald, who was employ ed by Chief Stahl to watch joints, ar rested Ewing for running a joint at 508 and 510 West Railroad street, and 627 North Tyler street, the latter num ber being Ewing's residence half ablock irom the restaurant. They testified that they had round a case of beer and some whisky in Ewing's residence, and nothing at the lunch room, but attempted to show that Ewing had a small boy for the purpose of bringing the liquor over to the store from the house as it was wanted. The two negro officers testified that they had seen the boy bringing something over to the store in a basket, but Ewing explained that he did the cook ing for the restaurant at his house, ani that what they saw whs eatable, and not drinkable. After Ewing was dis charged he explained to the police force in general, or all who were in hearing, that he was attending to his own busi ness and that they had no right to raid him and take his private etockof liquor.

Strong Sentiment in Favor of Making dominations at Once. Convention Hall, Chicago, June 22. While New York felt that it could not take the initiative on the floor of the convention, it was perfectly ap parent that some of the prominent delegates were attempting to pro mote the sentiment for an adjourn ment sine die today. Governor Odell Ha id cautiously: ".Some of our delegates have to leave tonight. I understand that in many other states the delegates have already started. It would not do to have a majority of empty seats in the delegates' section when we nominate. If the platform is adopted today it would make a scene of great enthu siasm to go right on tonight and nom inate." Former Governor Frank S. Black, who is to nominate President Roose velt, said: "We ought to go right on today and nominate while everybody is here. I prefer to speak to full benches." The sentiment is, however, that it is neither possible nor expedient to crowd the remaining business of the convention into one day's session. When Mr. Cannon was asked about the proposition to adjourn, he said he would recognize any motion made in the convention, but that no agree ment concerning .the proposal had been made. It would rest with the convention he said. Former Governor Black came in quietly and reached his seat on the platform without being observed. It was just noon when Mr. Root as cended the platform, which he reached by the rear entrance. Screened by the groups of convention oflicers and others he was not seen lay the crowd. Yesterday a huge bunch of pink peonies graced the chairman's table, but today a superb cluster of Amer ican Beauty roses stood ready to greet Mr. Cannon when he assumed the chair. The huge portrait of President Roosevelt that had served to present a tableau by its dramatic unveiling during Mr. Root's speech yesterday was placed on an easel at the rie-ht of the platform. Otherwise the dec orations were unchanged. The oak boughs that line the eves were a bit withered. Yesterday they made a pleasant fringe of green; today thev were almost as gray as the ceiling. .v, y ?'lu,ai'tor ot 12 o'clock not more than 100 delegates were in their seats The hum of the convention as the coli seum gradually filled had not been bro ken by enthusiasm of anv character for Eome time, the aisles in the pit were crowded with standing delegates, only a portion of their seats being occupied when just at noon the two New York senators and Governor Odell threaded their way down the center aisle. A cheer went up the galleries facing the mam entrance began to applaud. This had hardly died out when the tail figure of Senator Fairbanks was caught sight of coming down the aisle to the left. A hearty cheer went up in that section of the hall. Delegates at once sprang to their feet and more cheers were given. As the senator reached his peat in the Indiana delegation reserva tion the ovation was renewed. Just be fore the convention was called to order Senator Depew of New Y'ork, said to the Associated Press that he would as soon as the platform was read, move to continue the session tonight or late this afternoon and conclude the business of the convention. He said: "I have plenty of support from other stftes. The delegations are all here in full force, tomorrow they will not be We must finish today." Acting Chairman of the National Committee Payne, Temporary Chair man Root and Senator Lodge, of the resolutions committee, with the plat form in his inside pocket, held an in formal conference on the platform. Ev erything for the day's programme in the way of committee reports was in readiness. Another shout was heard to i ne leu ana tne picturesque Alaskan delegation with their totem poles, mounted with American eagles, march ed in and took their seats. At 12:15 p. m. the playing of the na tional air brought the whole assem blage to its feet, silk flags were whip ped out in various parts of the hall and were waved in time with the music. The band continued to enliven things at intervals as the wait continued. Meanwhile the gallery seats were being taken to a greater extent than on the day 'previous. The heroic painting of President Roosevelt, which had adorned the plat form during the morning, was removed that the view from the left of the plat form might not be obstructed, just as the convention was to be called to order. TWO DAY MOVEMENT. Stopped by Decision of Convention to Go to St. Louis. Chicago, June 22. The decision of the convention to accept the invitation of the Louisiana Purchase exposition on Friday and Saturday has done much to stop a small movement looking toward a two day convention. Senator Depew has ar ranged for three special trains for tha delegates and the tickets of delegates on all railroads will be accepted to and from St. Louis as if it were Chicago. New Yorkers led in the movement for a two day convention, but today in view of the fact that a large number of dele gates will go to St. Louts, they are at least quiescent. Saturday sees the dedica tion of the New York state building and Gov. Odell, the two United States sena tors, and others will attend. Didn't Recognize Root Convention Hall, Chicago, June 22. Although the doors of the hall were opened a half hour later today than yesterday for the first 25 minutes after 11 o'clock the band played to a sprink ling of gallery spectators only. A sea of brown backed chairs in gallery and mezzanine was broken only by an oc casional dot of black or the bright spot of a woman's gown. Groups of ser-geants-at-arms stood idly about, and in the delegates' section a half dozen men leaned back and read the morning pa pers. Temporary Chairman Root appeared on the stage without being recognized. SALARY IS ADVANCED. Seven Clerks in ToiK-kti Postoflice Will He Favored. Washington. June 22. The postoflice department has announced the promo tions and additional clerks allowed to presidential postoffices of the first and second class for the fiscal year begin ning July 1. The total promotions at large western offices follow: Denver 27, Los Angeles 45. Portland, Ore., lo, San irancisco 78, Topeka 7. Postmaster Guthrie of Topeka stated that he had not yet been officially in formed with reference to the promo tions mentioned in his office. They mean a promotion of salary, of $100 a year, and not a promotion of position. Judge Guthrie stated that he had ap plied for a salary increase for 15, but from the press report only seven of them have apparently been allowed. Who these are will not be known until an official notification comes from Washington. Thursday from 9 -a. in. to 9 p. no.

Eastern Resorts in 190-1. The Adirondack mountains will ofTer unusual attractions this summer; the Thousand Islands of the St- Lawrence river are preparing for a great sea son; Saratoga will surpass herself in attractiveness, and these are only a few of hundreds of delightful health and pleasure resorts in the state of New York. The resorts of Maine and other New England states, both on the coast and in the interior, are ex pecting a great business in 1904. The New York Central lines reach them ail. n them a cottage not far from his own handsome summer residence. This sum mer he is taking his pretty Italian sweetheart away with him as his bride. During the two winters of the court ship they worked together in the settle ment, and when they came back in the fall they will go at their slum labors again. After the first year of their acquaint ance Vittoria and her parents went to live in a better house in a better street, but she did not forget her old friends at the Hotel Florence. One day last summer she and her handsome fiance drove down the crowded street In a great red automobile and. clad in white chiffons and dainty laces.

CLARK, The Athletet Millionaire, Who Mar ried a Pretty Tenement House Italian Girl. Ellery Harding Clark met his nineteen-year-old Italian bride while he was working as a teacher in athletics, manual training and drawing at the Lincoln House Settlement in Shawmut avenue. She came to his classes, and he soon singled her out for his assist ant. Finally he went to her home in Washington street, a tenement called the Hotel Florence, to visit her father and mother and ended by taking up his residence on the top floor of one of the most crowded houses in one of the most crowded streets In Boston. There he wooed and won the girl while she asisted him with his work In the settlement and helped to get him elect ed to the school committee from South End. He repaid his obligations by sending Vittoria and her mother down to a re sort near near Cape Cod for the sum mer, where Vittoria lost the pallor of the slums and came back with the bright coloring of her native land In her tawny cheeks. Later he sent her an! her mother to Cohasset and got The tax assessor's returns show some statistics of Shawnee county which may seem a little strange. For instance there are 1,951 sheep in the county. If you have driven in the country how many have you happened to see? Sheep are not a usual sight and where these 1,951 sheep keep themselves is a mystery. There are 46 goats In the county, not including lodge goats. One of them is at Col. "Hank" Lindsay's livery barn when it isn't chasing people to places of safety in the court house when Mr. Billy gets loose. The pleas ure carriages, according to the re turns, outnumber the wagons. There are 3.393 wagons reported and 3,557 pleasure carriages enumerated on the assessor's returns. Both of these are low. There are more wagons than that and more pleasure carriages. Some people forgot to mention the ones they own. A total of 2.200 gold watches are reported and 215 silver watches. There are close to 15.000 voters in the county. How many vot ers have you seen in the county who do not own a watch? Will they num ber 12,535? There are 1,646 pianos reported in the county and of that number 1,332 in Topeka. From the number in your neighborhood do you think those figures cover all the pianos in operation these warm nights? Of "other" musical instruments of all sorts and kinds 825 are reported in the county of which 172 are located in Topeka. Rather low especially if the Boys' Bugle corps gets inside that number.

TURNIPSEED OX MOVE. He Is Going Out to Work in the Har vest Fields. "Name, please." "A. W. Turnipseed, Des Moines, Iowa." "Wh-what?" "A. W. Turnipseed." "Aw you're joking; give us your right name." But the man on the other side of the desk at the free employment agen cy stood pat on Turnipseed; he said that was his name, and he couldn't change it, even to accommodate the employment officials. "Well, you certainly have got the dog-gondest name I ever heard of." confessed John Alexander, as he wrote it down in his book. "Yes, that's what lots of people tell me," said Mr. Turnipseed with a sigh. Evidently the name of Turnipseed hung heavily on his young life, and was the one shadow over his bright future. Mr. Turnipseed is going to harvest. This is no pun. no idle drug-store jest. It means what It says. He looks aa though he might be able to pitch his share of the wheat and eat his share of the ham and eggs, too.

I was troubled with eczema on the face for five months during which time I was in the care of physicians. My face was in euch a condition that I could not go out. It was going from bad to worse and I gave up all hope, wheu a friend of mine hi? hly recom mended Cuticura Remedies. The first night after I washed rav face with Ca ticurn Soap and used Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Kesolvent it changed won derfully, and continuing the treatment It removed ail scales and scabs.

The agonizing Itching and burning of the skin as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of scalp, as in ecalled head the facial disfigurement, as In pimples and ringworm the awful suf fering of infants, and anxiety of worn out parents, as In milk crust, tetter and alt rheum all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that Is not justified by the strongest evi dence.

Men Sent From Kansas City Per suatlert Not to Work. Atchison, Kas., June 22. Seventeen men from Kansas City, t most of them linemen, arrived in Atchison to work for the Bell Telephone company Tuesday. The striking linemen got hold of the newcomer and persuaded them not to go to work. They say they were sent here by "-an employ ment agent of Kansas City, and that they did not knov ih-ey were expect ed to fill -the place of strikers. The striking linemen refuse to accept the Bell company's proposition to go to work for $58.50 a month. They say this amounts to only $2.25 a day, whereas they were receiving $2.40 a day before they struck. They say they will work for $62.50 a month, which is practically $2.40 a day. The company contends that its offer of $58.50 a month without layoffs is equivalent to $2.50 a day with lay offs. The strikers deny this. Manager Thistle says he took the wages of the five regular men and figured them for seven months, and that his proposi tion of $58.50 a month without lay offs amounts to $2.86 a month more than the men received before the strike; or, in other words, more than $2.50 a day with layoffs. The com pany does not wish to grant a $2.50 day wage because it would affect a large number of employes of the com pany at other points. THIEF UPSET HER PLAN'S. Aged widow Robbed of Savings or Sixteen Years. Chicago, June 22. Mrs. Annie Brzo bohata, an aged widow, has been rob bed of $1,700 which she had been ac cumulating during sixteen years to be used as part recompense for a wrong committed by her husband. The money was kept beneath a cupboard in the house. Through nearly two decades Mrs. Brzobohata struggled and suffered to raise a fund which at her death might be left to Miss Marie Cross, who was made fatherless at the hands of Brzo bohata and who for several years has made her home with Mrs. Brzobohata. John Cross was killed by Brzobohata during a quarrel in Chicago many years ago. Brzobohata was convicted and sent to the penitentiary but on his re lease he joined his wife in the plan to care for Cross' daughter. After Brzo bohata' s death two years ago the widow redoubled her efforts and made more rigid her economy, for she was near ing 70 years. But a thief has undone the work of years, and friends of the widow fear the loss will have a ser ious effect upon her. Cures Old Sores. Westmoreland, Kan., May 5, W2.

Break Out of Asylum and Throw Cp fortifications. New York. June 22. Stories of the war in the far east have caused an out break among the inmates of the Morris Plains insane asylum near Morristown, 2. J. Half a dozen lunatics who had en gaged in a Ions controversy finally made a break for liberty. They crossed Speedwill river and hastily threw up a rmall fort of timbers on the top of a hill. Attendants attempted to carry the works hut were met by volleys of rtones and beat a hasty retreat. For three hours the fort held out. Then a truce was arranged and the commander of the garrison agreed to a parley as escape was impossible. A conference with the commander of the keepers was held under the white fiag on a big flat stone in the middle of the river. In all seriousness, the lunatU-F, after a Ions wrangle agreed to surrender, having been granted some pmall favors. No losses were reported fceyond a few bruised heads.

How Providence Came to the Aid of a 3Ian Who Did His Work Well. $10,000 for Red Cross. St. Petersburg. June 22. Lady Hard ing, wife of the British ambassador, has presented the dowager empress with $10 000 contributeed by the British Red Cross towards the fund raised for the relief of the Russian wounded. The visit of J. W. Smith of St. Louis to T'opeka this week recalls the fact that providence plays some queer pranks as is exemplified in his case. Mr. Smith when quite a young man was employed in a clerical capacity by F. W. Henze who was in the bakery and restaurant business in St. Louis but when his parents came to Topeka he gave up his position and came to Kansas. He was a careful and pains taking bookkeeper and when Charles Holliday wanted a man to take charge of the business department of the To peka Democrat he selected Mr. Smith and it may be said to his cr!t that he filled the position with credit, though the venture was never a financial suc cess it would have been an impossi bility to make it so. Finally when Mr. Holliday tired of the plaything and his father became weary of making up the monthly deficit the paper was sold to J. B. Chapman of Fort Scott and Mr. Smith went with it. He was one of the assets of the paper for he was familiar with every detail of the business. Mr. Chapman struggled along as well as he could and finally his resources were exhausted and he quit, owing a considerable sum in salaries and Mr. Smith was one of the victims, but he did not desert his post. Three young men took charge of the paper and at tempted to conduct it as a. co-operative stock company and as usual Mr. Smith was the most important part of the transfer. He kept the books, solicited advertising and hustled for money to pay bills and to give all the employes at least a few dollars every Saturday night. But finally the bubble exploded and for the first time in his newspaper career Mr. Smith found himself out of a job. He is restless and energetic and the situation did not suit him. He final ly secured a position as night ticket agent for the Santa Fe at a meager sal ary but he welcomed it because it gave ft 1 I o -f 4 h0TMADTHETfiUsn Heal Calumet makes light, digestible wholesome food. Only one heap ing teaspoonful is needed for one quart of flour. him something: to do. Mr. Smith did not complain. He made scarcely enough to keep his family but he did his work well. One day like a thunder clap from a clear sky came a telegram from St. Louis signed "F. W. Henze." It was in the form of a query to the effect that the Henze interests had been put under the control of a stock company and that if he would accept the position of vice president and a salary of $250 a month that he would also be given an interest in the company. An immediate answer was requested. If Mr. Smith had been a woman he might have faint ed. Instead he wrote a very brief tele gram which said: "I will be there to morrow," and closed up his affairs and started for St. Louis. Mr. Smith had been up all night at tending to his duties and when he saw Mr. Henze the next day and heard tne proposition repeated from the lips of his old employer he was in a dazed con dition and in telling a friend of it af terward he said: "I really had to pinch myself to make sure that I was awake." Mr. Henze is a millionaire and he was glad to secure a steady, reliable man to take a share of the responsibility from his shoulders and he found just the man he wanted in Mr. Smith who while he still likes Topeka and slips away every year to visit his aged father, is perfectly satisfied with his position of vice president of the Henze Old Rock Bakery company, St. Louis, Mo. WAS ISENHART SANE? This Question Will Now Be Settled In District Court. WIIJj PAY IX TOPEKA. Parklmrst-Davis oCmpany Won't Be Taxed in Emporia. The Emporia Gazette says: Judge Madden decided the Parkhurst-Davis Mercantile company vs. the Lyon county case in favor of the Mercantile company. The case was brought up to see whether or not the Parkhurst com pany had to pay taxes on its stock of goods in Emporia. The decision was given in favor of the company because its goods are assessed at Topeka. The company proved that the capital stock is assessed at Topeka and that includes the goods in the branch house at Em poria. The statutes in the case show that such "companies have to pay their taxes on the total amount of stock at the headquarters town, and Emporia is not a headquarter town because the Parkhurst-Davis company is not incor porated here. It has been suggested that, if the Parkhurst company can do this way, why can't other branch houses pay on their goods at the wholesale houses be fore and cut out paying taxes here? The reason is because other companies located here are incorporated here, while the Parkhurst company is incor porated at Topeka, which incorporation includes Emporia in its district.

Suit was filed in the district court this morning by Otis E. Hungate, as attorney for D. W. Isenhart, Eli Isen hart, Rufus M. Isenhart. Theodosia Day and Rebecca Purdy, brothers and sisters of the late S. B. Isenhart. to have the will he made leavins all his property to his sister, Florence Doug lass of Fargo. N. D., set aside. The will was attacked in the probate court and attempt made to prevent its being probated but Judge Hayden admitted the will to probate and appointed C. A. Masaw as administrator of the estate. Judge Isenhart died May 28, 1904, and the contention is made that he was not mentally in condition to make a will for many months pre vious. The petition states that the excessive use of liiuor undermined Judge Isenhart's health and mind and that for six months prior to his death he was totally incapacitated for busi ness.

A. building Tuesday evening the schedule for the i season was made up and agreed upon. j It consists or 30 games, making ten games for each club, on a basis of a six club league. The umpires will be I chosen by the managers of the two op posing teams for each game. Each team will furnish one baseball and its own paraphernalia including bases and the regular ground furnishings. No admis sions are charged at any of the games and it is therefore necessary for the different teams to pay for their own outfits. Another meeting will be held early next week at which time some definite step will be taken to sign players. It is likely that the managers will agree between themselves not to allow any player to join another team unless he has been duly released. The whole thing will be merely a matter of honor be tween the managers, but it will be productive of good results, for the rea son that the different teams will In this way retain practically their same per sonnel through the season. The schedule follows: June 25 State Hospital vs. Santa Fe Reds, at State Hospital. June 25 North Topeka vs. Freight Auditors, at North. Topeka. June 25 Y. M. C.

One is being played this afternoon between Iola and Topeka. Two will be played with Pittsburg, one Friday, and one Saturday. Both games can be seen for one price of admission. Only Saturday's double-header with Pittsburg is regularly scheduled. The extra game with Iola today and the one with the Pirates Friday are. as baseball men call them, "owed" games, meaning that they are post poned from other previous days when the rain interfered. This will make pretty heavy work for the Saints, hav ing to play eight contests in five days. But they have to be played oft some time, and it was thought best by the management, at an informal meeting Tuesday night, to get rid of them now. The batteries for today are: First game, Goodearl and Seigle; Maitby and Schrant. Second game, Morgan and Siegle; Howie and Schrant ALBERTS, DOESN'T CARE. Glad to Be Relieved From Manage ment of the Saints. Manager Gus Alberts' dismissal from the Saints will take place formally to night at the meeting to be held by the association in the Elks' club rooms. A settlement was made today and every thing is satisfactory. President Thomas Sheard will take charge of the team for the remainder of the week, by which time it is expected that a player manager can be secured, possibly Earl Green. John Schrant, the big catcher, was considered for the place. When asked whether he would take it. he said: "If I could manage the way Rohn does at Sedalia, on the field and away from town, all right. But signing up players and that kind of business no 1 won't have it." Alberts will umpire in the league. President Shiveley will be in the city Thursday morning and will then form ally make the appointment. Alberts had little to say regarding his dismis sal, but it did not seem to worry him. "I got wind of it on the road a couple of days ago," he said, "and I was ready for it. I have done the best I could under the circumstances. I know the Saints are not a winning bunch, and I told them that to their faces. Shiveley will give me a job umpiring a.id I shall go right at it. My best wishes are with the Topeka club and the association, and while my friends say they are sor ry to see me go, I want them to forget that and boost the team along all they can."
