Caiifornian Succeeds Cortelyou in Department of Labor. Moody Takes the Place Vacated by Senator Knox. Washington, June 2 4. Paul Morton of Illinois has accepted the tender of the portfolio of the navy. President Roosevelt today made the following- announcement regarding changes in the cabinet: William H. Moody of Massachusetts to be attorney general. Paul Morton of Illinois to be secre tary of the navy. Victor II. Metcalf of California to be secretary of commerce and labor. The resignations of Secretary Cor telyou and Attorney General Knox have been received and accepted to take effect July 1. PAUL MORTON. Keeond Vice President of the Santa Fe, Who Becomes Secretary of Navy. The tender of the naval portfolio, now held by William H. Moody, who succeeds Philander C. Knox as attor new general on July 1, was made to Mr. Morton last Wednesday, when he came to this city from Chicago in re Fponse to an invitation from the pres ident, lie was at the White House during the afternoon, when the offer of a cabinet position was made, and in the evening dined with the presi dent. He left that night for Chicago. Mr. Morton has affiliated with the Pemooratic party almost throughout his life. He was a straight-out Dem ocrat until 1896. when he bolted the national ticket and became a Gold Democrat. About six weeks ago Mr. Morton gave out a detailed interview announcing his renunciation of Demo cratic principles and declaring that henceforth he is a Republican. He gave his reasons for this change in faith. Paul Morton Is the son of the late J. Sterling Morton, who was secretary of agriculture in the second cabinet of President Cleveland. He is 4 7 years old. having been born in Detroit, Mich., May 2 2. 18. -.7. He has devoted all his mature life to railroad inter ests, and is now second vice president of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe system, embracing all the lines con trolled by that corporation. He be gan his railroad career with the Bur lington system, taking a position as clerk in 1872 in the land office of that company. He worked his way up, becoming assistant general freight agent, and subsequently general passenger agent of the C, B. Q. He was general freight agent of the system when he severed his connection and became third vice president of the Santa Fe, afterward being promoted to the office of second vice president. He also be came vice president of the Colorado Fuel Iron company, and president of the Whitebreast Fuel company. The president has known Mr. Mor ton for years, and entertains the high est regard for his executive abilities and his business integrity. He desires to recognize the former Gold Demo crats and is not averse to giving the great railroad corporations repre sentation among his ministers. How Changes Came About. For two weeks or more it has been known that these changes were im pending. AVhen Secretary Cortelyou was designated by President Roose veit to be his campaign manager, it was certain that he would retire from the cabinet upon his assumption of duties as chairman of the Republican national committee. Just before he left for Chicago last Wednesday he placed in the hands of the presiden his letter of resignation from the de partment of commerce and labor. It was understood hetween the presi dent and him that the resignation was to be accepted to take effect at the end of the present fiscal year. June 30, in ci vive. The taking effect of his resig nation at that time would afford him an opportunity to complete some work in the department which, he had initiat ed and which it was important he should carry to a conclusion. One week ago today Attorney General Knox for mally announced that he would retire from the department of justice, prob ably at the end of the fiscal year. It was understood at the same time that Secretary Moody would succeed Mr. Knox as attorney general. The state ment was made, however, that while the transfer of Secretary Moody to the department of justice was very probable, dependent in a measure upon the president's success in securing such a successor for him in the navy depart ment as he desired. In pursuit of his purpose to secure the services of a thoroughly able and congenial man, President Roosevelt tendered the appointment to Paul Morton, first vice president of the I Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe rail i road. Mr. Morton is a personal friend of the president of many years stand ing. He Is a son of the late J. Ster ling Morton, secretary of agriculture in President, Cleveland's last adminis tration. Mr. Morton has had experi ence In Washington, having been here it with his father. Since President Roosevelt has been in the White House he has made more than one effort to induce Mr. Morton to accept a position in his administration. Feel ing that his life work in the railroad business, In which he has achieved success, might be impaired by his ac ceptance of an official position in the government, he uniformly has de clined all such proffers. In consequence, with this feeling he declined the profier of the portfolio of the navy. He was requested by the president to reconsider his declination. Last night he took dinner at the White House and the whole subject was con sidered after Mr. Morton had consulted with his personal and business friends and associates. At the conclusion of the conference Mr. Morton told the president he would accept the position in the cabinet. Then it was that the other changes, one of which, at least, was contingent upon Mr. Morton's ac tion, were decided upon definitely. Other Changes Expected. It is expected that further changes will take place in the cabinet next winter.- Postmaster General Payne proba bly will retire from the cabinet. He will be succeeded by National Chair man Cortelyou. Secretary Moody will continue as a member of the cabinet only to the end of the present admin istration on the fourth of March next when he will retire to enter upon the practice of law in Boston. It is quite likely that other changes will take place in the event of Mr. Roosevelt be ing elected president, but no authority exists at this time upon which to base a forecast of them. Mr. Morton is one of the most popu lar of the Santa Fe railway officials. It was through his personal efforts that the inequalities in freight rates in To peka have been partially adjusted and he is now engaged in the task of cor recting discriminations throughout the state. He has often been in Topeka, the last time a month ago when he heard the complaint of the Topeka Commercial club concerning the freight rates. Tnat considerations of salary do not entirely sway Mr. Morton's course was demonstrated not long ago when he was offered a $50,000 salary to conduct a large railway enterprise. He was re ceiving $15,000 a year from the Santa Fe and his loyalty to that company and the work he had in hand induced him to refuse the larger offer. Later the Santa Fe increased his salary to $25,000. 'Xs secretary of commerce his annual salary will be $8,000. EXCHANGE GREETINGS. Roosevelt and Fairbanks Send Con gratulatory Messages. Chicago, June 24. Senator Fair banks was at his hotel when he heard of the nomination by acclamation of President Roosevelt and he promptly sent this telegram: "Chicago, June 2 3. The president. Washington: I am pleased to extend to you my heartiest congratulation upon your nomination amidst great enthusiasm. Charles W. Fairbanks." Later in the afternoon the senator received this telegram- dated White House, June 23: "Permit me to extend to you and the country my heartfelt congratula tions on your nomination. I need hardly add how pleased I am person ally. Theodore Roosevelt." In reply the senator telegraphed the presiderft: "I thank you for your cordial con gratulation. To be named by the con vention as your associate in the great campaign that is before us is a dis tinction which I deeply appreciate." The -Sfidiana delegation marched in a body to the senator's hotel from the Coliseum and gave him a rousing greeting. The Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks leave here today for Indianapolis, where they will be tendered a recep tion tonight. Hundreds of telegrams were received by the senator from all parts of the country and by nightfall Fairbanks buttons were everywhere to be seen. The Indiana delegation in the house of representatives sent this dispatch to President Roosevelt: "The members of the Indiana dele gation in the house of representatives congratulate you on the unanimity and enthusiasm of your nomination. Roosevelt and Fairbanks will receive the vote of Indiana in November." SAW LOO fillS LAND. Passenaer on Kaiser Wilhelm Sets Many Minds at Kest. Paris, June 24. The officials here are not seriously apprehensive of the whereabouts of Kent J. Loomis, brother of Francis B. Loomis, the American assistant secretary of state, who disappeared shortly before or after the arrival of the North Ger man Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II at' Plymouth, June 20. The inquiries made tend to show that Mr. Loomis wandered off when the steamer touched at Plymouth. One of the pas sengers, Gustave Flamm, of San Francisco, a passenger on the Kaiser Wilhelm II, today furnished the American embassy here with a spe cific statement to the effect that he saw Mr. Loomis go down the gang plank at Plymouth with the other passengers who landed there. How ever, the failure of Mr. Loomis thus far to report his whereabouts creates a perplexing situation owing to the governmental mission with which he is charged. Wedding Day at Hiawatha. Hiawatha, Kan., June 24. As evidence thr.t Ju ne and Wednesday are looked up on with favor as a good month and day for the consummation of etipid's vows, four young couples were united in mar riage in Hiawatha. Charles H. Greenlee, an employe of the Gazette, at St. Joseph, and Miss Winifred Seburn, a well known Hiawatha school teacher, were married at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. H. Seburn. Miss Anna Schilling, a daugh ter of Captain John Schilling, and I. G. Crandall. a prosperous farmer, were mar ried at the Schilling house. Miss Belie Andrews of Falls City, Neb., and E. R. Rich of Highland were married at the Moreland hotel. The other wedding was that of a Horton couple, who stole a march on their friends by coming here to be married. Killed hy a Carriage. OBaw-atomie, Kan., June 24. One of the state hospital carriages, driven by a man named Duncan, struck M. Roman, SO years old. Wednesday, injuring him so se verely that he died last night. The old man tried to cross the street in front of the team. Those who saw the accident say that it was unavoidable and that the driver was in no way to blame. Show Horse Sold. New Tork. June 24. Lord Brilliant, the famous show horse, owned by W. T. White, of Cleveland, O., has been pur chased by John Gerken of this city. The price was not made public HEAVHIRING. Cannonading in Progress Serer al Hours About Port Arthur. New Entrenchments Thrown Up East of the Liao. RUSSIANS REPULSED. Body of 4,000 Attack Japanese at Ai Yang Pien A Point 50 Miles Northeast of Feng Wang Cheng. Chefoo, June 242 P. M. Heavy fir ing was heard in the direction of Port Arthur during several hours last night and this morning. New Kntrenehments. Tien Tsin, June 24. New entrench ments are being thrown up east of the Liao river. The Chinese have been ex pelled from their houses, which, are to be used by the Russian troops. A new proclamation has been issued forbid ding the exports of food stuff north of New Chwang. It is reported that large bodies of troops are eight miles from New Chwang, under the command of General Kuropatkin. It is supposed that they are marching towards Kai Chou. 4.000 Russians Defeated. Tokio, June 242 P. M. Four thou sand Russians, including infantry, cav alry and artillery attacked Ai Tana Pien men about 50 miles northeast of Feng Wang Cheng, last Tuesday. The Russians were repulsed and retreated toward Shin Kain Ling. The Russians lost five killed and 20 wounded. The Japanese loss is not given. Iiad for Cavalry. General Kuroki's Headquarters In the Field, via Fu San, June 24. A Russian cavairy division, commanded by General Rennenkampff, opposes the Japanese right flank. The coun try is mountainous and almost Im passable for cavalry operations, al though it is ideal for infantry move ments, hence the cavalry forays upon which the Russians have greatly de pended to harass the Japanese have proved ineffective. Japanese Like Kentucklans. Lia Yang, June 24. The messenger of the Manchurian army says that flasks found on dead bodies of Japa nese at Vafangow contained brandy instead of water, and intimates that the Japanese "bolstered themselves on Dutch courage." KUtOP.iTKI WON'T FIGHT. Japanese Can Have Kal Chou Wheu They Want It. St. Petersburg, June 24. Today's news from the theater of war indicates that General Kuropatkin will not give battle to the combined armies of Gen eral Oku and General Kuroki Tiear Ka! Chou. Doubt is now cast upon the im pression prevailing for several days that the bulk of the Liao Tang army had been advanced southward, though it may be that General Kuropatkin is concentrating his forces in the neigh borhood of Hal Cheng. The only thing that can be stated with certainty is that the information received by the war office shows that General Kuropat kin has no intention of seriously con testing the Japanese advance on Kal Chou which would seem to carry with. It the order to practically abandon the peninsula to the enemy and as a neces sary consequence the withdrawal of the Russian troops from New Chwang. According to the latest reports Gen eral Kuroki's outposts are four miles south of Senuehen and the Russian outposts are eight miles north of the same place and gradually falling back along the line of the railroad. It is likely that the Japanese will reach Kia Chou in a couple of days. General Kuroki's three columns seem to have supended their advance, pending Gen eral Oku's arrival at Kai Chou. They are occupying the three roads leading from Siu Ten to Kal Chou, Ta Tiche Kiao and Hai Cheng, whence they can move forward simultaneously. The ex act position of the Japanese on the Ta Tiche Kiao road is not known. But one column is at Vandiapudze, 40 miles from Hai Cheng, and another is at Chaplin, 25 miles from Kiao Chou. Mil itary critics approve of General Kuro patkin's decision not to fight at Kai Chou, which they point out, is a partic ularly unfavorable position, exposed to a flank from Kuroki on one side and to a possible landing at New Chwang on the other. The Japanese forces en gaged in this movement are estimated at 150.000 men and an enormous number of guns. Apparently two divisions have left Port Arthur which would account for the practical suspension of the siege operations, but which may also be due to the reported loss of the siege train on board Japanese transports. Although much interest is manlfsted in the foreign reports of the loss of the guns and in the reports from the same sources of the drowning of Commander-in-Chief Gyama and his staff, the ad miralty has no confirmation of these rumors. CONCORDIA FLOODED. Four Inches of Rainfall Make Rivers Out of the Streets. Concordia, Kas., June 24. A- de structive flood is being experienced here as the result of a fall last night of 44 Inches of rain. The principal streets are rivers and the cellars in the business portion are flooded. One-building collapsed today but no one was injured. The railroad yards are flooded and much stock was drowned. Railroads report numerous washouts and no trains were run out Concordia today. This Is the Last Call. The county commissioners now con fidently expect that the macadam on the West Sixth avenue road will be completed this week. It has been "being completed" for more than two years. There have been all sorts of delays and troubles. The road will be finished this week to Morris ave nue and then all that remains is a block between the end of the city pavement and the end of the country macadam. HER LOVE, 35,00 Yalue Put Upoa Wife's Affec tions by J. P. Sondegard. Charges Dr. F. II. Martin With the Theft. IN DISTRICT COURT. Action for Damages Commenced Todaj. Dr. Martin's Attorney Makes Light of Ch'arge. In the district court this morning a sensational Fuit was filed by John P. Sondegard, of Manhattan, against Dr. F. H. Martin, of Topeka, for $5,000 dam ages. The plaintiff charges that Dr. Martin has alienated the affections of his wife, Minnie L. Sondegard, and that as a result his wife has brought suit for divorce. On May 18 Mrs. Sondegard filed suit for divorce from John P. Sondegard, In the Shawnee county district court. She charged that her husband was guilty of cruelty and neglect of duty. She alleg ed that she had been compelled to earn her own living for some time. She fur ther stated that her husband is an able bodied man. This morning Mr. Sondegard filed a cross-petition and answer, through his attorney, Robert J. Brock of Manhat tan. In the cross-petition he denies that he is an able bodied man and says he has but one arm. He denies the charges of cruelty and gross negelect of duty and the charge that his wife was compelled to earn her own living. He says he was able to support her and that she came to Topeka to become a trained nurse against his will. Mr. Sondegard tiled a separate case against Dr. Martin at the same time that the cross-petition to the divorce case was filed. Mr. Sondegard says he was married April 13, 1899, and that two years ago Mrs.Sondegard took up nurs ing and came to Topeka and became a nurse at Christ hospital much against his wishes. Mr. Sondegard charges that Dr. Mar tin, while practicing at Christ hospital where Mrs. Sondegard was employed as a nurse, became very attentive to her and that he poisoned her mind against Mr. Sondegard and that Mr. Martin finally alienated her affection for her husband and that as a result Mrs. Sondegard brought the divorce proceedings in order that she might be at liberty to marry Dr. Martin. Mr. Sondegard charges that Dr. Mar tin took Mrs. Sondegard -.-.kling and to restaurants and tluxt he made to her false and malicious Insinuations about her husband and that Dr. Martin insti gated the divorce proceedings. Mr. Sondegard charges that on ac count of the constant attention paid her that Mrs. Sondegard has fallen in love with Dr. Martin. He says that his wife and Dr. Martin kept up a correspondence and that letters of love and affection were exchanged be tween them, but that Mrs.- Sondegard would not write to her husband. The husband claims that Dr. Mar tin's attentions to his wife were so ap parent at Christ hospital that the au thorities would not tolerate it. Dr. Martin is a well known Topeka phy sician, who was surgeon in the Twenty-second Kansas regiment dur ing the Spanish war. Mrs. Kate Martin, the wife of Dr. Martin, died on March 2 of this year. The death of her mother, Mrs. Haynes, occurred on the 14th day of the same month. Major A. M. Harvey, of the firm of Harvey Osborn, attorneys for Dr. Martin, made the following statement today: "We have not seen the papers in the case but I know something about it in a general way. Mrs. Sondegard was separated from her husband a year be fore Dr. Martin ever knew her and their association has been wholly pro fessional in its character. "Mrs. Sondegard is a nurse and she reft her husband because he did not support her. She came to Topeka and was employed as a nurse by Dr. "5lar tin. Mrs. Martin objected and he quit employing her but since Mrs. Martin's death I understand that Dr. Martin has again given Mrs. Sondegard employ ment in her profession as nurse. "That is all there is to the case and there is little danger of a verdict for damages because Dr. Martin has cer tainly not alienated Mrs. Sondegard's affections." FUND OF $25,000. Voted at Butte to Test Legality of Mover's Imprisonment. Butte, Mont.. June 2 4. The Butte Miners' union has decided to donate $2i,000 to the Colorado miners to as sist them in pressing the legal test to be made on the Colorado supreme court decision upholding the military government in suspending the habeas corpus and allowing President Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners to remain in jail without charges hav ing been placed against him. The right of Governor Peabody and Gen eral Bell deport minerswithout trial will also be tested by the Butte miners. IT WAS SCANDALOUS. Therefore Captain Rodney's Declara tion Was Stricken From Records. Washington, June 24. Because of the scandalous nature of an amended declaration filed in the district su preme court by Lieut. Robert Burton Rodney, retired, V. S. N.. who is suing former Advocate General Samuel C. Lemly for slandering him in his efforts to be restored to the active list of the navy, Chief Justice Ciabaugh today granted the motion of Captain Lemly to strike out the amended dec laration. Mr. Rodney was retired in 1870 and claims Lemly in his official capacity prejudiced his case before the secretary of the navy. Has New Chief of Police. Junction City, Kan., June 24 Ex-Sheriff M. D. Peso of this county was appointed chief of police of this city by Mayor Thompson. The death of T. A. Cullman made the place vacant. THEY AREA, HOME Republicans Are Coming Uack From Chicago. Complain That the Contention Wasn't Enthusiastic. ESTIMATE OF 25,000. That Is Where Curtis Places Republican Majority. E. W. Boch to Make Fourth of July Speech at Ottawa. A considerable number of the Kansas contingent in Chicago have returned home. A few got in Thursday and more came today. Part of the crowd are returning by way of St. Louis and will stop off a few days at the fair. Most of those who went to Chicago expecting to have a good time with lots of hurrah and great excitement were disappointed. It was very tame. "I came near freezing," said Assist ant Auditor J. M. Nation, who came home yesterday. "The weather was too cold for comfort for us fellows from sunny Kansas, who were not prepared for such chilliness. And there wasn't the enthusiasm in the convention that we expected. As a matter of fact there were a lot of politicians in the conven tion who did not like Roosevelt but they knew they had to take him because the people are for him. Roosevelt's nom ination will produce all kinds of en thusiasm among the people but the pol iticians who can't run him and those who are friendly to the trusts didn't enthuse over him. The most noticeable thing about the convention was the coldness of the New Tork crowd toward the president." Fred Durnont' Smith was the first Kansas delegate to come home. He got here Thursday noon before Roose velt was nominated, but went right on home. He said he got one word, "addi tional," in the platform and that was all he could do. He got disgusted and didn't even wait to go through the for mality of voting for the candidates. "The Kansas delegation didn't cut much ice in the convention," said an other Kansas man. "I felt kind of ashamed of it. There was Illinois with Joe Cannon at the head of the delega tion and most of the big representative men of the state following him. And there was Iowa with. Cummins and Dol liver and several other big men, and a lot of other states the same way, while the only man of any prominence on the Kansas delegation was M. A. Low. Fred Smith is smart and would have been a good man at the tail end of a. delega tion, but he is unknown outside of Kan sas. Outside of M. A. Low and Smith the Kansas delegation was pretty punk and it didn't cut a bit ot ice. The Kansas men all got into the convention, although some of them did not have tickets. There was plenty of room in the hall, so three or four Kansas men would go in and in a few minutes one of them would come out with perhaps all the tickets of those who had gone in with him. He would distribute these among other waiting Kansans on the outside, except his own, and the entire bunch would go in. Somebody did some speculating in tickets. Street hawkers had them by the handful offering them at $5 each. The delegates got no tickets except their own. Heretofore each delegate has been given a certain number of tickets for his friends, but this year the national committee decided that all tickets should be distributed through the members of the com mittee. Chicago correspondence in the New Tork Sun: t'nele Jerry Simpson has arrived and still calls himself the Pop ulist Republican. He would rather talk about the rich farm that he owns in the Pecos valley than about poli tics. Testerday a man asked him about his socks. "I always wear silk ones," replied the ex-statesman. The Washington Post interviewed Congressman Curtis briefly while he was in Washington a few days ago, and it quotes him as follow-s: "In Kansas the general condition is very satisfactory. The outlook is for a big crop of wheat, and that means prosperity for our section. Politically the situation is satisfactory from the Republican point of view. The elec toral vote of the state will go to Presi dent Roosevelt by a big majority from 25,000 upward and all the Re publican, members of congres will be returned without any difficulty." If Mr. Curtis placed his loweRt esti mate of President Roosevelt's ma jority at 2 5,000. he is very conserva tive. President Roosevelt ought to get more than that in Kansas this year. If Roosevelt's majority is only in the neighborhood of 25.000, there is great danger that some of the state ticket will be found missing when, the roll is called after the election. There may be a. good many more than 12,500 Re publican members of congress will be will refuse to support certain candi dates on the state ticket, but who will be enthusiastic for Roosevelt. K. W. Hoch will be the Fourth of July orator in Henry Allen's town, Ottawa. Mr. Hoch was scheduled to speak at the Ottawa Chautauqua on the Fourth, and when it was found necessary to abandon the Chautauqua after the recent floods at Ottawa, he consented to speak at a regular Fourth celebration there. The name of the Populost nominee for sheriff in Dmitri county is William Long, and he does not belie the name. He is said to be in the neighborhood of seven feet tall. Ottawa Herald: Tom Kelly warn ed D. R. Anthony some time ago that Mr. Burrow would have certain news papers which had published facts about Mr. Burrow's Smith Center bond deal sued for libel. Coming from Mr. Kelly this must be taken with a grain of allowance. He once threat ened to bring libel suits against the ropers which called him a thief. But he didn't bring them! Weather Indication.

FRIENDLY LAWSUIT. It Will Be Means ol Settling Fourth Street Controversy. City Attorney Spencer and Attorney T. F. Doran representing the city rail way, have agreed upon a friendly suit to settle the West Fourth street pav ing controversy. An agreed statement of facts has been drawn up by the city attorney, and is now in the hands of the city railway attorneys. It is like ly that within a few days the suit will be filed in the district court, and with the consent of the judge, given a speedy hearing. The suit will be in the nature of a mandamus proceeding, to compel the city railway to pave its 8-foot right of way on West Fourth between Polk and Western avenue. Mr. Doran states that the city railway does not desire to avoid laying this disputed piece of pavement, provided the courts deter mine that it is the city railway's duty to do so. "We do not want people to think that we are the ones who are blocking the deal, and causing that portion of the street to remain unpaved," says ilr. Doran. "We believe that we are not legally liable to Jay the pavement, be cause we have no tracks on that street and do not expect to have tracks there." It was proposed by the attorneys for the railway company that in order to facilitate a settlement of the dispute, the attorneys select a board of arbi tration composed of three attorneys. one selected by the city, one by the company and these two to select a third. The arguments in ine case would then be made before this board. and a decision reached within a com paratively few days. City Attorney Spencer did not think that this way of settllnc the dispute would be entirely satisfactory to the residents of West Fourth. He held that the Dest way 10 reach a decision would be through the courts, and arrangements were then made for the friendly suit. While the city attorney and the rail way company attorneys have been fix ing up this nice, peaceable way of settling the difficulty, the people who live on West-Fourth have been getting very mad, and a number of them have been loudly demanding that an in junction suit be commenced to compel James Ramsey, the paving contractor, to cease his work or paving ourtn from Polk to Western avenue until the trouble between the city and the j railway is settled. City Attorney Spen- I cer says this sort of a suit is no good. "What do they want to try that for?" he asked this morning. "Ram sey hasn't done anything wrong. He is simply going aneaa witn nis con tract, just as the city ordered him to do. He has a right to pave that street. It isn't his fault that the city railway and the city have had a dis agreement." The case when it comes before Judge Hazen will have some interest ing points to be decided. When the people living on West Fourth peti tioned for pavement, the city railway tracks extended the whole length of the place it was proposed to pave. The regular legal routine was gone through with, leaving the usual 8 foot right of way for the railway company to pave. The contract was let on this basis, and had it not been for the delay last year the pavement would have gone in during the sum mer of 1903. But after all the pre liminaries had been finished, and the bonds to pay for the pavement sold, the city railway changed its plans and decided to turn off of Fourth at Polk and build its line west on Third. This left the block between Polk and West ern avenue with no railway track, and with no provision for paving the 8 foot right of way which had been left for the track. The law prohibits the city from using any of the general funds for paving, and the special pav ing fund has no money which can be used for the purpose. That is the situation as it exists. The city contends that although the city railway has abandoned its right of way on that block, it is bound to obey the provisions of the ordinance regu lating the abandonment of right of way on paved streets. This part of the ordinance requires the company to pave its right of way in the 'same way the street is paved when it abandons a paved street. T'nless the city railway does pave this 8-foot strip running the length of the block, it will probably stay unpaved until some future time when the pro perty owners on that block see fit to pay the cost of the work. ALBERTS GETS A JOB. Will Vniplre First ;ame nt Sedalia Saturday. Gus Alberts, ex-manager of the Topeka Saints, has been ordered by President Shiveley to report to Se dalia Saturday to umpire the game between Joplin and the Goldbugs.

He will officiate the Fourth of July game in Topeka between the Saints and Fort Scott. FIRE ATTHE FAIR. House of 11 oo II oo and Contents Burned to Ashes. Occupants Narrowly Escaped With Their Lires. 30 BLACK CATS PERISH Many Other .Buildings Were Threatened for a Time. Another Fire Stampedes the Elephants ou the Pike St. Louis, Mo., June 2 4. Fire which threatened for a time to destroy many buildings at the world's fair today consumed the house of Hoo Hoo, ren dering the building and all contents a total loss. So quickly did the flames spread after the fire started that the occupants of the building, five In number, all on the second floor, had difficulty in escaping with their lives. The loss on the building and con tents is estimated at $50,000. The fire is supposed to have started front an electric light wire. The fire de partment responded promptly, but the rapid spread of the flames rendered their attempts to extinguish the fire valueless, and all efforts were directed towards saving the Texas, German. Oregon and Mines and Metallurgy buildings, all of which were threat ened with destruction on account of flying shingles. All were saved with out loss or damage. But ten minutes before the alarm from the house of Hoo Hoo, the world's fair fire department had an swered a still alarm from the Mys terious Ascension on The Pike, where fire had started in the elephant barn. The loss was insignificant, but there was a wild stampede o elephants and camels. The frightened trumpeting of the former awakened people on ail parts of the grounds. None of the animals escaped from the building. The house of Hoo Hoo was one of the first buildings finished for the ex position. It was erected by the lum bermen of the United States, but un der the control of the local board of the Order of Hoo Hoo. It was di vided into many rooms, constructed of different kinds of fine and expen sive lumber. Aside from this there were specimens of rare woods which were valued highly. There were 30 black cats in the building at the time of the fire, and these perished. Fearing the Texas building would be destroyed, women of that state worked heroically to save precious relics of early history. Sheets were torn from the beds in the building ni usera xo carry tne r lies to places of greater safety. One point of the star-shaped build ing of Texas is within 75 feet of the house of Hoo Hoo, and in the large first floor room of this point the relics have been on exhibition. They in clude pictures, books, papers and va rious articles identified with the early history of the state, and are priceless. Nothing but the fact that the wind was not blowing toward the Texas building saved it. BIRTHDAY HONORS. Alfred Hannswonh Is Made a Baronet by King Edward. London, June 24.

Cannot Remodel the Gini-i. Kansas City, June 24. A legal point of much Interest at this time, especially for the heirs of the Gilliss estate, is involved in the proposed new ordinance regulating the construct-on of theaters. This ordinance provides that no auditorium floors shall be more than five feet above the level of the street. The auditorium floor in the Giillss opera ftouse is on the sec ond story and it is declared that if the law was enforced this playhouse would have to be closed because. Un der the will of Mary A.

TOPT.KA STATE JOTJIHI AX$ FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1004. SP0RTIHGI1EWS HcChe&ney and Gold Heels Out of the fiace. Field for World's Fair Handicap Grows Smaller. LOOKS LIKE HERMIS. Bernays and Colonial Girl Are Strong Favorites. The Thomas Colt Handicapped bj the Top Weight. St. Louis, June 24. Sam Hildreth has wired the fair ground officials that ho ha3 decided not to start McChesney in the World's Fair handicap. Gold Heels pulled up lame In a. workout and has been declaied out. Expert handlcappers have sifted the field of 12 probable starters in the big turf event here Saturday down to three keen contenders Hermis, Bernays and Colonial Girl. Any one of the others may drop in from the clouds, as some times happens in these big classics, but the trio of short-priced horses will car ry the bulk of the wise and the public money and it is confidently expected that the winner will be Hermis, Ber nays or Colonial Girl. Of these choices, Hermis has the dis advantage of top weight, but the ad vantage of Jockey Redfern, one of the very best in the country. In the Su burban handicap he carried 126 pounds and simply rolled home in track record time for the mile and a quarter, the Fame distance of the World's Fair handicap. He defeated Irish Lad and The Picket, the very cream of the thoroughbreds in the east, and was never extended to do it. It was the opinion of those who saw the race that he could have equaled the world's rec ord for the distance had he been push ed to the limit. In shipment from New York to St. I.ouis Hermis stood the journey well, rnd shows no evil effect of the trip. In his workout he did a mile and one eighth In l:5y with 130 pounds, and pull ed up in fine fettle, it looks like the Thomas horse will be fit to run the race of his life Saturday, provided it does not rain. At his best he should beat the field which he is entered against, despite the impost. Colonial Girl, with only 97 pounds, fast as a ghost, a stayer from Stayers ville, is being heavily played by St. Louisans and Chicagoans in the future books at 3 to 1. She is In grand form and will give all that is in her for the big stake Saturday. In her workouts today she turned a mile and one-eighth In 1:59 1-5, with 121 pounds up- This certainly gives her a fighting chance In any company and makes her akeen contender despite the glamor of the name of Hermis and the reputed fact that he Is being backed for $100,000 by his owner, K. R. Thomas. Bernays. owned by Rome Fespass, will represent his stable, which holds the world's record for a mile. Bernays turned a mile and one-eighth with 120 pounds up Thursday in 1:59. His work shows him to be in great form, and, if the track is fast, as it now promises, he should give Hermis an ar gument. It is believed .that if anything catch es Hermis with, his .130 pounds up it will break his heart and he will quit. But will they tver catch him? The Picket couldn't do it, nor could Irish Lad. SHOOT AT GRAXTV'ILLE. Topfka Marksmen' tjnjoy a Day's Sport Scores Low. Thursday three members of the To peka Gun club took the early morn ing train for Grantville, to do a little clay-bird smashing over Charlie Kleinhans' Magau trap at his grounds at that place.

The Magau trap which the Grantville club uses to throw the birds worked nicely. A large field of waving wheat directly In front of the trap. with the sunlight and shadows playing upon it, made a novel expanse to shoot over, and was probably the indirect cause of many of the holes in the scores.

President Pulliam, of the National League, while here on his way to Chicago to attend a. meeting of the national commission, dictated the folowing statement anent the Dougherty deal made by the Bos ton Americans: "I regret the Dougherty-TJnglaub deal very much, because it gives cred ence to the heretofore unjust criticism that professional baseball savors of the hippodrome and is subordinate to the box oftice. Since we have a national agree ment and are afflicted with the Ameri can League we of necessity share with It any odium that may be attached to its acts. "I can conceive how it is possible that a losing club, artistically and fin ancially may find it necessary, to keep the club going, to dispose of a star player, but it is beyond my compre hension that a club having won the world's championship, and having been rewarded by the most generous patron age of the Boston public, can in the slightest degree justify such an ap parent mercantile transaction as the Dcngherty deal. 'The Boston club is leading in the race for the pennant and by its action deprives itself of the services of a star outfielder and one of the best hitters In the country. This cannot help but weaken chances for the pennant and strengthen an adversary. "In all the words of criticism that have been directed at the heads of the so-called Boston triumvirate in all the fl years of their ownership this charge could not be laid against Mr. Soden arid his associates. They may hiv-c made their mistakes, but their enem'es must admit they ran their club like true sportsmen. They bought star players, like Mike Kelly and Clarkson, but they never sold a star, no matter what the inducements were or where :hey stood In the race, or what their patronage was. "In this connection I wish to add that no aid will be extended by any club in the National League in the New York club in its fight, for the pennant. How ever, the New York club has a valua ble asset in the McGraw spirit, and in this I think it has a strength that will outbalance t'.ny deal made in the past or future, and regardless of how many stars are handed to competitors or the patronage of the baseball public in New York city."

Game Forfeited by Umpire Owens Score 9 toO. TOPEKA HAD IT WON. Score Was 9 to 3 When It Was Stopped In Eighth. Catcher Selgle Glres an Exhibl tlon of Temper. The 102 decrees in the refrigerator temper of the Iolans lost them the game to Topeka Thursday afternoon. The stigma of defeat was too much for the oftwinning Gaslighters. They have been running almost every um pire In the league but they missed connections on Owens. The row came in the eighth inning, withr the score 6 to 3 in favor of the Saints, made so by Root's stupidity and timely hits. Cole was on second and Sisler on third base. Freil knocked a hot grounder to Root, who fell over it in his attempt at fielding. Sisler left the third bag with, the crack of the bat. Just as quickly as Root recovered he fired the sphere home. Sisler slid and Seigle failed to touch him. Owens called the runner safe and his decision was right. Seigle immediately rushed into the diamond filling: the air with a vol ley of protests. Owens ordered him to the bench. Seigle retorted with a vile oath, according to Owens. "Hisumps" fined him $5. Then the bis catcher started to clear himself of his pro tector and mask, making at the same time a list of fighting demonstrations. The rest of the Iolans rushed in and pulled the big catcher to one side. He was crying. That showed how angry he was. Then some of the other Gas lighters began to abuse Owens. Dud Risley made strenuous efforts to shut them nr. Owens waited about two minutes and then walked over to the grand stand and called out: "Game forfeited to Topeka. Score, 9 to 0." The crowd congregated on the dia- THE GRANT STAND OCCUPANTS mond and the., players hemmed up Umpire Owens. But cooler heads pre vailed, and Owens quietly walked off the grounds. The Iolans climbed into their bus and were whisked away to town; but left a streak of anathemas that have not yet been blown off the sacred confines of College Hill. Catcher Seigle in Mood. Belligerent When seen afterwards Owens said: "I shall suspend Seigle. I fined him five dollars and that will stick. The game was given to Topeka because of the way the Iola players acted. I want no trouble with any of them, but I shall not go out of their way if they want anything. I am running the game." He said this going Into town on the street car and Quite a number of fans congratulated him upon his way of handling the matter. Owens made himself solid in Topeka, and wiped out the unfortunate mark against him of leaving the game on Wednesday, because a few persons in the crowd went too far in their criti cisms of his decisions. Captain Rlssley Straightens Out Wil sap. Captain "Dud" Risley of the Iola team was asked about the matter and said simply: "I am sorry that it hap pened. It was too bad. I shall not protest the game. The trouble will all blow over and there will be no hard feelings." Rislery is one of the "whitest" ball players in the business and he made every effort to prevent the trouble which occurred on the field yesterday. The last game played in Topeka he ordered this same Seigle to "shut up and let the umpire alone." Seigle's action was entirely uncalled for. But his hot temper was not start ed by Sisler's slide. It began In the seventh inning when the score was 3 to fnAY&ALUi) 1 in Iola's favor and Topeka tied it in a hard knot by making two runs as a result of stupid work on the part of the visitors. After two men were out. Root passed Hughes to first. Sisler singled. Cole popped up an easy lly ten feet in front of the plate. Frick, Risley, Root and Seigle all went after it and through a confusion of signals the sphere was dropped, no one touch ing it.- Then Friel knocked a little grounder to Root. He thought three were cn the bases and threw the ball home with the result that Freil got safely to first, and in reality filled the bags. This stupid act of the smiling pitcher made the whole gang of Iolans mad and they howled at Root. Schrant stepped up and singled out a beauty, bringing in two runs. In the eighth inning Randolph started off the fire works with, a single. Carter's attempt to sacrifice him to second killed the first basemann. Thompson proceeded to lay out a pretty single. Hughes knocked C.P.B. His Man When Sisler Caught Third. at a grounder to second. Bankhead field ed it rapidly and tossed it to Risley who covered second in an attempt to kill Carter. Risley dropped the ball. Then the Iolans were still more sore. Sisler got his base on balls, some of the decisions being very close, forcing Carter home. That made Seigle still hotter. Cole hit for two bases, scoring Thompson and Hughes, and Seigle's temperature rose to the boiling point. Freil hit the little grounder to Root which the sorrel top failed to handle quickly enough to kill Sisler's attempt to get home, and Seigle run over the sides. Owens handled "him properly. While the wrangle was on and before Owens forfeited the game to Topeka, both Cole and Freil ran in making the actual score 9 to 3 In Topeka's favor. On the records it will go down as 9 to 0. Iola made a run in the third inning off two hits by Risley and Shumeyer, one in the fifth of an error by Olson and a hit by Frick, and one in the sixth by Hughes hitting Shumeyer and a single by Scrogglns. In neither the seventh nor the eighth did the visitors show any symptoms of runs. In the nrrcn- SEEMED TO ENJOY. rfTlI E GAME. first inning things looked bad, but good fielding pulled the sausage out of the fire. Up to the seventh Inning the game was a beautiful pitcher's battle with honors even between Root and Hughes, the latter getting the worst of the score board results through costly errors by his team mates. Up to that time the Gaslighters had found Hughes for six safe ones, but they were scattered plenty wide to prevent trouble if errors had not accompanied them. The Saints however touched up Root for only two fair ones. But the ex-regular soldier was wild as a March hare, throwing five bad ones past his catcher and giv ing his team mates chills for fear that he would pass enough to first to lose the game. He pulled up strong enough however to only give free transporta tion to four, but three of these came in. Incidentally the Saints demonstrated again that they cannot hit. They did find Root for 9 safe ones according to the score book, but two of these were made so by misjudgment on the part of the Gaslighters. The Iolans got seven altogether but they were as dis tantly related as an Icelander and a man from Tecumseh. The score: TOPEKA. Player.

Iola at Leavenworth. Ex-Manager Gus Alberts of the To peka Saints has been offered a job to umpire in the Eastern league. The salary attached to the place is $2 25 a month, and is worth working for. There are a few strings tied to the job, which if successfully broken will put little bow-legged Spartacus II Into the position. He will take It in a jiffy if all the patches can be sewed on. President Shiveley of the Valley league is doing some plugging for him, although he wantt him badly for his own circuit. The Eastern league is comprised of Baltimore, Toronto, Jersey City, Providence, Albany, and Rochester. Alberts played with To ronto about eight years ago, when the Canadians were the pennant win ners twice in succession. He held down the third sack, and the ancient history records show that he did the gob well. He has many friends there and they, want him to come back to his early" stamping ground. "I'd like to go," said Alberts this .morning. "I have some property back there yet which is worth a few hundred dollars to me, and which the lawyers are gobbling up pretty fast. I want to settle that up. With a Job paying $225 a month I could get a little money ahead, and I'd like to come back here and invest some of it in the Topeka association. Ah, boys," continued the old man, "I like this town, and want to see her go ahead. It's the best one on the Valley circuit, any old day in the week." Center Fielder Cole is being seri ously considered by members of the management as manager of the Saints. As a field captain he has shown very well, but what he could do along the line of managing would of course still have to be shown. Armstrong is not hitting any better with Fort Scott than he did with To peka. Here he batted about the 2 25 mark. Xig Perrine, of Springfield, made 12 put-outs and eight assists at second base last Monday in the game against Leavenworth. Billy White,' Sedalia's shortstop, who has been out of the running for a week with a sprained ankle, is back in the harness again. This is his sec ond one this season. Sedalia is looking wildly and anx iously towards the eastern horizon for one "Peanuts" Ford, an outfielder, and Bob Lawson, a pitcher. Man ager Coddington has started tracers, but there Is apparently no fruit in sight. Fred White, a baseball enthusiast of Iola, has been engaged by Her man Tholen, the owner of the team, as manager. Dud Risley will con tinue in the capacity of field manager and captain. Fort Scott will play In Topeka with the Saints on July 4. It will not be a double-header, for neither team owes the other a game. An all-round baseball player by the name of Houston is said to have taken the management of the Leav enworth Orioles, Cates retiring to de vote his whole time to the pitching departmen t. Nothing has been heard lately from Frank Poorman, who agreed to join the Saints week before last. The day upon which he was to have reported his brother died, and he did not come. Since that time no word has been re ceived from him. He was formerly at Kansas university. The Topeka management has de cided to release Pitcher Maltby by the end of this series. He may be tried Sale Ten Million Boxes a Year. f THE FA KELT'S FAVORITE MEDICINE CANO-V CATHARTIC lOC-v. J 25c 50c. BEST FOR THE BOWELS the system are not equaled, by any other remedy. It makes the weak, tainted blood rich and strong, and drives out of the circulation all tubercular deposits and morbid matter that cause the glandular swelling, sores, abscesses, tumors and other horrible symptoms Saturday in the double-header against Pittsburg if it is necessary. But he will not be retained. He has plenty of curves, but his control is off. In lime he will make a strong slant artist. The Joplin papers designate last Monday's 2 to 0 game between the Saints and Miners as the fastest con test of the year, but charge up the defeat to the "sleepiness" of Sisler and the "laziness" of Randolph. The Topeka fans understand. The baseball editor of the Joplin Globe, not yet hearing of Gus Alberts' release, wishes that he might hit a winning streak, because he is "a vet eran who is a credit to the game with which he has been identified for al most thirty years." Evidently Sedalia is sort of sorry that she let John Schrant go. Judg ment Is taken from this paragraph: "Back of the bat Gus Alberts, man ager of the Topeka team, has as val uable a player us can be found in the league tig, reliable John Schrant. whose stick was a potent factor last year In landing- the bunting for Seda lia, says the Joplin Globe. When Se dalia let Schrant get away she lost a player whose absence can't be filled except by the discovery of a phenom, and the discovery of phenoms in the baseball business is rare enough to be classified with the miraculous."

Lyon county people generally will be surprised to learn that the Orient railroad owns but three and one-half miles of right of way in Lyon county, says the Emporia Gazette. The state board of railroad assessors, according to their report recently received by County Clerk Eggers, assessed the Orient right of way in Lyon county as valued at $1,050, or $300 a mile. When Lyon county issued the JoO.000 bond on the Orient railroad, the stip ulation was that the Orient was to have a train running through Emporia on .Orient track before the year 1905, or Lyon county would withdraw the bonds. It looks as though the Orient will have to do some tall hustling to get the required train running through here on its own track before 1905. It is an impossibility, so men in position to know, say. The question of renew ing the bond is a one-sided proposition. Some say it will be impossible to renew them unless the city and the townships through which the railroad right of way passes, will stand for the full amounts. The other townships of the county not touched by the Orient would not be benefited by the road's taxes and hence are unconcerned about it. If the Orient intends to make it through this part of the state it will have to hurry. It has trains running south from Wichita and has put nearly all its labor on the line southwest of Wichita and in Mexico. Although the Orient railway owns but three and one-half miles of right of way in Lyon county, yet it has con demned and appraised most of the right of way through Lyon county. The Orient's assessed valuation in Lyon county is $1,050; the assessed value of the Santa Fe main line in Lyon county is $392,365.

A LEAVENWORTH WAY. Argentine, June 24. The first car of 1004 wheat to reach here came in or. the Santa Fe yesterday from Ranch 101 in Oklahoma and was consigned to W. S. Dickinson Co. There has for years been a rivalry between western wheat growers as to who would score first in getting a carload of new wheat to mar ket. No fewer than 50 growers have been figuring in the contest this year, and Ranch 101 scored by sending in a car on a fast stock train on "the Santa Fe and Southern Kansas railways. John W. Radford, chief of the Kan Fns grain department, had ten men on the lookout for new wheat and when the first car reached the Argentine yards the grain was inspected before ten engine was unhooked from the train. The samples were personally in spected by ilr. Radford but they reach ed the Exchange building 36 minutes too lale to get the wheat in Thursday's market, it was N'o.

Holmes. of Seventy-six township, ennie here Thursday with his grand eon, and expected to return home alone, as the young man went to Wichita on the noon train. Last night his wife and near neighbors became alarmed as he had not returned home and parties came to town in search of hjm. The last seen of him was at llambrill's store, when he got into the buggy, as they thought- to go home, but it seems that he started out of town in a southerly direction, and a telephone message from South Haven stated that he had been seen in that locality and another message from Portland says he was seen in that lo cality. Mr. Holmes Is 84 years old and very feeble-minded, and it has been necessary for some one for some time to be with him constantly. He e.-idently got into the buggy and started for home as he thought, and jlust kept going. little thinking of t "ire he was or where he was going. W. R. Holmes, of Winfield. a son of Mr. Holmes, fames over from Win field and has been using the wires trying to locate his father, and thinks he is in the south part of the county. The horse he drove belongs to Albert Teck and is very gentle. Mr. Peck Man From Marion ll:s Experience Alons "The Pike." Leavenworth, Kas., June 24. J. A. Bias, a citizen of Marion, Kas., hap had a little experience since Tuesday morning when he arrived in Leaven worth to visit the soldiers' home with his mother and sister. During his short stay he was cleaned of a roll of $55 in bills on the pike road between Leavenworth and the soldiers' home, and first showed his money in a saloon he thinks was "The Little Bulldozer" outside of the city limits. Bias was in the court house yester day looking for Sheriff Meyers, as the police department of the city told him it had no jurisdiction where the Little Budweiser is located. To a reporter he told his experiences: "I was once a member of the sol diers' home, but have not been there for several years past, having got a back pension of some thousands of dollars. I came here with my mother and sister, who live near Ettenson, on the electric line. Somehow or other I became confused at the home and lost them, and started to walk to Leaven worth. I went into this place on the pike, and there drank a few glasses of refreshing liquid. I suppose I showed my money and when I started to leave 1 was told by the bartender that a col ored fellow there would come to town with me. I told him I was able to come by myself, but the fellow insist ed on coming. On the road the fellow with me ran his hand down my hip pocket and drew out $5 5, leaving me 2 5 cents. Of course I demanded that he put it back, but he said he did not have to, so what could I do? I was robbed, but then I guess I am in luck that I was not slugged." pie than are the Oberlinites. They have expended thousands of dollars drilling for oil and gas, and while they haven't run up against the stuff so far they are going to try it again. They believe oil underlies this country. The town has many sub stantial brick buildings and up-to-date merchants. It has many elegant and modern homes, and as hospitable people as can be found. Killed His Brother-in-Law. Wichita, Kan., June 24. George Pritchet, who shot and killed his brother-in-law, Edward Bockemuehl. Thursday afternoon, was arrested shortly after 3 o'clock. Pritchet had left the scene of the murder to give himself up, but instead he went to a rooming house, where he was found by the police. YV ltnesses say that Bocke muehl was advancing toward his wife, whom he had knocked down previous ly, with a butcher knife in his hand when Pritchet shot him.

H. E. Hunt ington has tendered his resignation as vice president of the Southern Pacific railroad company. So far as known no action has yet been taken on the matter. It is understood that Mr. Huntington will remain a director in the system founded by his uncle, the late Collis P. Huntington. Edwin Hawiey, of this city, has re tired from the executive committee and directorate of the Southern Pa cific railroad company. He has long been a prominent factor In the prop erty and his retirement will cause great surprise in railroad circles. It is supposed his resignation was handed in two weeks ago, although persons in a position to know abso lutely refuse to djscuss the matter or to make public Mr. Hawley's reasons. Difference of opinion with the Har rlman interests over the management of the Alton railroad is, however, thought to have been the cause. Mr. Hawiey began his railroad ca reer in 1867 and for years was one of the late Collis P. Huntington's trusted agents in the development of the Southern Pacific. He was best known as general traffic manager, al though h!s sphere of influence extend ed to all departments. He is credit ed with having negotiated the sale of the Huntington interests to the Union Pacific. Mr. Hawiey also has retired from the Pacific Mail Steamship company and all other Harriman properties in which he was interested. Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chicago Northwestern and a di rector of the Union Pacific railroad, has been chosen to succeed Edwin Hawiey. 3 4 f

Hoffman won in a bit ter fight for the control of the association against James liutler, the president, and Judge S. H. Allen, its general attorney. In his statement Hortman mentions tne fight briefly and then takes up the ques tion of the issuance of stock in the com pany in return for stock in the old Far mers' Co-operative Grain, Live Block and Shipping association, which went to pieces. He says that stock ca.n not be le gally issued' in that way, but that it has been agreed to pay the old company tor whatever assets the new company re ceived from it as soon as the officers who have the books make a statement on which a mutual agreement can be made.

Oberlin, Kan., June 24 The proposed building of the Gulf, Hutchinson Northwest railroad to Oberlin is excit ing much interest among people here. The soliciting committee appointed at a representative business meeting is as follows: O. L. Benton, C. N. Page, W. T. Stevenson, W. S. Fleming and Vic tor Lorig. This committee is raising about $12,000 by subscriptions to defray the expenses or survey and other pre liminary work necessary for the build mg 01 tne line rrom either Jennings or Dresden, situated on the Rock Is land road to Oberlin. The promoters of the enterprise propose to sun this road northwest to the coal fields and southwest to the gulf for the grain out let. They also guarantee if the $500 a mile project is adopted and the mon ey raised there will be no outlay or call lor any or the fund until the nec essary material for doing the work is actually n the ground. W. D.

Oberlin is one of the best northwest Kansas business grain and stock cen ters. All of her people are enthusiastic for the building of this road. When the Rock Island built through this section of the state and missed Oberlin, jealous rivals predicted it would kill the place. But the business people knew different. and they went to work, and as a result the place has kept on growing from that time to this and Is getting bet ter.

MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY. WANTED TO SHOOT. Strike Breaker at San Bernardino Got Drunk and Went Gunning. One of the Saanta Ke strike breakers managed to stir up lively trouble down town this morning about 12:30, says the San Bernardino Sun. The fellow who had been drinking enough to be noisy went into the Office saloon in Third street and loudly announced that he was a "scab" and indulged in abusive language until he was warned by the bartender to keep quiet. This angered the man. who pulled a pistol, threatening to shoot the drink dispenser or anyone else who attempt ed to interfere. Leaving the saloon the fellow fell Into the hands of three bystanders, but his fighting proclivities were too much for them, though they prevented him from using his pistol One of them received a bad punch in the face as the shopman broke away running up the street. About this time Officers Poppett and Starke got into the game and ran the warrior down just west of the motor depot, where he had hidden in a dark spot. He was still in a fighting mood but was quickly disarmed by the offi cers after a lively bout. At the jail the officers had another big tussle with him, but he was quick ly landed in a cell.

SANTA FE WRECKERS' TRIAL. Three Strikers Who Tried to Destroy Passenger Trains Are in, Court. Chicago. June 2 4. Joseph Stanek, John Krimbach and Peter Chewski were placed on trial in Judge Chy traus' court yesterday on charges of conspiracy. The jury was told of a cold blooded scheme to destroy the lives of passengers on the Santa Fe railroad. Assistant State's Attorney John R. Newcomer stated that the accused were formerly employed by the Atchi son, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad company. Laborers and trackmen em ployed by the company went on a strike. Violence was resorted to and at Kedzie avenue spikes for a dis tance of fifty yards or more were pull ed up with the alleged intention of wrecking the passenger trains which passed over the rails at that point. Fortunately the rails were imbed ded in the ties to such an extent that several trains passed over the spot, but hundreds of lives would have been sacrificed had the rails spread. The alleged conspiracy was unearthed by Chief Special Agent Peter Quinn of the railroad company and confessions are said to have been made by the defendants. RAILWAY CLERKS' UNION". It Is Now a "Brotherhood" and Is Iloltlins Its First Convention. St. Louis, Mo., June 24.

Charles Eddy, president of the El Paso Northeastern railroad, while in this city yesterday, absolutely r-ipared the strikers of having partici pated in the effort to wreck the south-boiind passenger several weeks Hro. The first reports were to the effect that information was in th hands of the company which showed conclusively that the strikers were sruiltv of the dastardly attempt on the lives of the innocent passengers of the train. This had not been oificially de nied until Mr. Eddy made his state ment. In speaking of the present situation Mr. Eddy said that the road was hav ing better success with the new men than with the union strikers, and pos itively denied that the strikers would ever aerain be employed by the E. P. N. E. "We are going to run our own road," said Mr. Eddy, "and if we give in this time we cannot do so." MEST PAY THE COSTS. Conrt Taxes Them Fp Against North ern Securities Company. St- Paul, Minn., June 24. The costs incurred in the United States circuit court in the case of the state of Minne sota vs. the Northern Securities com pany must be paid by the Northern Se curities company. This is the decision of Judge W. H. Sanborn of the United States circuit court, handed down after a somewhat lengthy argument in the matter. H. D.

If there was anything the president wanted and didn't get it was because he didn't ask for it. The Democrats should secure the ser vices of Uncle Joe Cannon to run their convention for them. If silence work as well for Parker as It has for Fairbanks he is as good as nominated right now. The Chicago convention showed a disposition to give any man who want ed to vote against Roosevelt's nomina tion an opportunity to do so. Chicago citizens appear to have tried to even up for the light attendance at the convention by stealing the gold badges worn by some of the delegates. The total absence of friction in the Chicago convention should occasion no surprise. A man who is capable of managing the affairs of a big country like this, certainly should be able to run a convention of a thousand men. The inevitable statehood plank got Into the Republican national platform but In amended form. The party now favors making two states out of four territories. If the plank is as mean ingless as it has been in the past the change does not matter. Omaha Bee: Both sides to every contest for seats in a Republican con vention from states included in the solid south'' always insist that they are fighting for principle. It is notice able, however, that the side that wins never refuses to take the spoils along with the principle. THE GOOD TIMES COMING. Under the above caption the New ark News reviews the history of pan ics and business depressions, both small and great, and makes deduc tions therefrom as follows: Tuef ns the theory of temporary swings or waves of higher and lower ranges or prices in tne siock. raamci has established Itself, so ground swells of rising and falling trade, with accompanying elements of prosperity and depression, have come to be rec ognized as following a law of cycles in expansion and reaction. Every ten years we have exhibition of the alternating swing of the financial and industrial pendulum, with every other one of less intensity tnan tnose wnicn nrecede and follow. Thus, in 1873, the reaction brought a panic of na tional dimensions; in 18S4 there was merely a period of extended depres sion with a panic of only local impor tance. In 1893 the convulsion was pronounced, and in 1904 the falling away in demand and prices, that which we have with us yet, was not accompanied by spasm or widespread wreckage, was more like the disturb ance of 1884. The period of depres sion following the panic of 183 lasted four years, and following that of 1893, three years. Ihe correspond ing interval succeeding the disturb ance of 1884 was a little longer than two years. The present era o reac tion resembles that of 1884, 1885 and 18S6 also by being most serious east of the Mississippi and particularly in Wall street, by reason of similar de clines in bank clearings, pig iron pro duction and in railway earnings and traffic. The interest attaching to this par allei lies in its affording a basis for more or less justifiable inference as to the probable duration of the pre vailing reversal in demand and heav iness in quotations. The first signs of this reaction appeared late in 1902 and the movement has been consist ently downward ever since. It is now, therefore, nearly two years since it began, and if one may draw an anal ogv from the course of events in 1884, 1SS5 and 1886, the outlook should fa vor an upward turn early in l0o. Assuming that this argument, and inference will be borne out by the course of events, there are various re flections which naturally suggest themselves to the contemplative mind. The first, of course, is strictly com mercial, or financial, and involves a query why the present is not a good time for the man with money to ac quire some of the securities which have suffered the greatest decline in prices within a year or two, and which are bound to be favorably in fluenced by renewed demand for iron and steel and commodities in general when the tide finally turns. The other thought is rather more of the humorously political than other wise. If business revives next year and starts merrily on its way toward the boom which, according to prece dent, promises to bring up against a panic in 1913, the successful candi date in the race for the presidency this year, through the triumph of the principles advocated, will be given credit by many for having brought "good times" whether it be Roose velt, or Parker, or Hearst, or Hill, or Noakes or Stokes or Stiles or Thomp son. It will not be trust, of course, but that's- why It's funny. JAYHAWKER JOTS. Richland will celebrate children's day July 4th. Ellis has a tennis grounds, nets and racquets but no players. A Topeka man who is quarantined with a sick wife and baby finds it a pretty rocky life. At Madison when the women folks want their husbands for anything thev call up the bowling alley. Congressman Curtis' forecast of an Illinois man for vice president didn't seem to Hitt the facts in the case. The scent of June roses fills the hair of the Garden City maidens and the scent of young onions the old man's breath. An old-fashioned woman lives at Eureka who believes that her lost pocketbook containing money will be returned. After 20 years without teeth a Green wood county man has purchased a set of false ones and commenced calling on the girls. If the Reno county bride who was married by 'phone can only get her husband to take dinner that way all will be well. As most of the ancestors of the An thony Episcopalians came over in the Mayflower, their new church is to be of the English Gothic style. It's needless to state that every wo man in Sylvan Grove had a pressing engagement the afternoon a local store gave away five dozen corsets. Cyrus Eeland, Governor Bailey, Mor ton Albaugh and D. R. Anthony. Jr., were not at Chicago. Perhaps it's just as well as the tickets of admission gave out before the "machine men" were i eached. A modest White Plains, New York, man, writes the mayor of Lyons, that he will come on and help harvest if he is guaranteed $4 daily and railroad fare. While he didn't mention he probably wants a few diamonds thrown in. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. It s funny how a woman will admit that her husband's hair is red, but figure out that their children's is golden. A girl seems to think she takes a good many risks In marrying the best man, and more in not marrying the worst. A girl is so suspicious about a man wanting to marry her that if he looks at her in church she runs and tells her mother. A woman can alwavs believe that If her son had been born just a little taner or snorter (his father's fault) he would be president of the United States for life. GLAD HAND. Extended to the President by Mem bers of His Cabinet. Washington, June 24. Felicitations on his unanimous nomination by the Chicago convention were extended to the president today by the members of his cabinet assembled for the regular semi-weekly meeting. In addition to discussion of the political situation and an exchange of congratulations the president and cabinet considered some important public business. It was de cided that the customs rates imposed by the Dingley tariff law should be im posed upon all goods imported into the American zone on the isthmus of Panama except on such goods as may be shipped there from the United States. The American zone is regard ed as United States territory. The en- rorcement of the tariff law will be placed in the hands of Governor Davis. It is expected that little material from foreign countries will be employed in tne construction or the canal or for other purposes. Every encouragement will be given to the importation of such necessary products from this country. It also was decided to establish on the isthmus such postoffices as may be necessary for the transaction of the postal business of the American zone. Governor Davis will designate the locu tion of the offices and it is understood will appoint the postal officials. Orders were subsequently Issued by Secretary Taft providing for carrying out these conclusions. MAY GO TO HIGHER COURT. Lyon County All Torn Up Over Park-hurst-Davls Case. The Emporia Gazette says: The de cision of Judge Madden in the Park-hurst-Davis vs. Lyon county case con tained an important point. Judge Mad den decided that although the Lyon county officials could not collect the taxes on the Emporia stock of goods, yet it was a fact that the goods in stock at Emporia had been taxed neither here nor at Topeka Judge Mad den stated that it was because the To peka officers were negligent. There is a state law providing that a corpora tion shall pay taxes on its capital stock at the headquarters town, but if there is any personal or real property, it shall be specified in full on the tax record. The Shawnee county tax re ceipt of the taxes of the Parkhurst company shows that the personal pro perty, including the Emporia stock, was not listed according to law and that it was the duty of the Topeka of ficers to get the list of personal pro perty. Mr. McClure testified that for the past two years the Parkhurst com pany has had an $S,000 stock at Em poria. County Attorney McCarty hopes to take the case to the supreme court on the grounds that the law provides that an assessor can levy on any property that is in his district unless it has been taxed elsewhere. Judge Madden decid ed that the property had not been tax ed elsewhere, but that Lyon county could rot levy on it because it was the duty of Shawnee county to levy on it. On account of the repairs being made at the high school building, the county normal institute has been moved to the Sumner school. COL HARRIS HERE Says That He Is Entirely Out of Politics. Col. William A. Harris, former United States senator, is in Topeka to day. He came here to consult with F. D. Coburn regarding the Shorthorn live stock exhibit at the St. Louis ex position. He is giving practically all of his time to his work in connection with the Shorthorn Breeders' associa tion. Senator Harris says he is entirely out of politics He would not hazard a guess as to what the Democratic national convention at St. Louis will do week after next, nor would he seriously entertain any Idea of a vice presidential boom for himself. He said he knew almost nothing about political conditions in Kansas. "No," said Senator Harris in reply to a question, "I am no prophet, and so I cannot say what the Democratic national convention will do. I would not even want to make a guess on the subject." "There has been considerable talk about you as a vice presidential pos sibility," suggested the reporter. "I do not think anyone seriously considers such a proposition," said the senator. "I would not consider it even a possibility." "What about the outlook in Kan sas "We are going to have a big wheat crop, alfalfa is doing splendidly, and most other crops are in good shape. From what I hear from oil fields everything is booming down there." "But how about Kansas politics?" "I don't know anything about it. I haven't talked politics with anyone. In fact I am out of politics and am leaving it alone. I am giving my time to my work in connection with the Shorthorn Breeders' association and other business." "What do you think of the Repub lican national convention?" "Everything was harmonious, wasn't it? Everything seems to have been done according to the plan mapped out. President Roosevelt got Mr. Cortelyou for chairman of the na tional committee, as he wanted. I was in Chicago but left just as the committee was meeting, but I did not pay much attention to what was done." Senator Harris will remain in To peka until tonight or perhaps till to morrow.

Colonel Ed ward Verdeckberg, commanding officer, said today that upon the return of Gen. Sherman M. Bell, from Denver tonight or tomorrow arrangements will be made for deportation of prisoners against whom no criminal charges are made. President Charles H.

Consul General Gummere in a cable dispatch to the state department, dated Tangier, today says a communication Just received from Perdicaris and Varley state that they are leaving for Los Culy. Mr. Gummere expects them to arrive In Tangier tonight. HELD DEl'KW IT. How a Chicago Cabby Collected Extra Tips. Chicago. June 24. Senator Depew thinks he has found the third word suitable for Chicago's motto: "I will." It is "wait," and in the future when the senator ex piates on the "get there" spirit which has characterized the city's growth he will take as his text: "I will wait." The senator drove from the Auditorium to the Coliseum in a cab and when he ar rived at Convention hall he alighted and handed the cabby a dollar bill. The reg ular fare is 50 cents, but the senatrtr thought a 50 cent tip would do no harm. But the cabby waited. The policemen hollered for him to drive on and make room for others. But still he waited. Realizing that he was being blamed for the delay, the senator searched his pock ets and drew out a quarter, which he handed to the driver. The cabby thanked him and waited. The senator began to search anew, but it was a longer on? this time. He didn't seem to have the change. Finally another quarter wps forthcoming and the cabby cracked hit whip and was away. Rnilrond Men Here. A party of twenty railroad men, consisting of clerks employed in the mechanical department on the differ ent divisions of the Rock Island, are holding a meeting in the city today.

Smith; the Kansas City attor ney who was severely criticised by the supreme court recently in an opinion, has won a victory in the court, and the court has modified its opinion. Smith was the defendant in a replevin suit in which the plaintiff sought to recover a valuable diamond. He lo&t in the trial court ana appeaiea to me supreme court. He stated that the plaintiff gave him the diamond for aid ing in a fraudulent transaction and therefore could not legally recover it. The supreme court promptly threw Smith's appeal out of court. In its opin ion the court said: "The Iniquitous engagement Into which Smith entered, according to his own statement, furnishes sufficient cause, not only to disbar him from the practice of law. but to subject him to fine and imprisonment." This opinion was not very flattering to Mr. Smith and he did not approve it. He filed a motion with the court to reopen the case to give a chance to clear himself. The court today decided not to allow the motion, but it ordered its first opinion modified. It substitutes the word "probably" for "to." The opinion now reads that Smith's action was sufficient "not only to disbar him from the practice of law, but probably subject him to fine and imprisonment." WILL PRESENT IT SATURDAY. Sewer Remonstrance to Be Presented m Saturday. I L is Hie liulIJUfic v t l l ward people to file their remonstrance against the proposed sewer system on Saturday. The time limit for the filing of the document does not run, however, for about a week more. So far the backers of the remon strance have been unable to get the signature of the Santa Fe railway for the Santa Fe shop territory. The Santa. Fe has usually maintained the attitude of neutrality in such city af fairs, preferring to let the people set tle such auestions for themselves. It is questionable whether the Santa Fe shop territory can be included In the district, anyway, as it already has a private sewer sy.stem of its own. If it can be included, it is probable that the remonstrance will lack consider able of having a majority of the "resident square feet" in the pro posed district. If, on the other hand, the city is unable to make the Santa Fe stand its share of the expense of the sewer, the remonstrance may be sufficient to beat the project- Pays $2.25 for a Paper. Chicago, June 24. An impromptu auction sale with the possession of a Phoenix, Ariz., newspaper the object of the bidders took place in front of the Coliseum yesterday. "Watcher gimme fer the piper mis ter?" demanded the boy of a delegate from the land of the cactus. "Two bits," responded the delegate promptly. "Half a dollar," broke in another delegate hungry for home news. "A dollar." interjected a third del egate, who was becoming interested. Then the bids rose by quarters. Finally the paper was "knocked down" to the first bidder for J2.2 5, and the three hurried to a place of solace to share the news. WHAT SHALL HARVEST BE. The Estimate of Hands Needed Is 22,355. The estimate of harvest hands needed for the Kansas harvest fields has Increased from 21.195 to 22.335. The-latter are the present figures of T. B. Gerow. director of the slate free employment bureau. The chief increase comes from Phillips county. For some reason the first information that came from Phillips county was that no outside harvest hands would be wanted there this year. But this was wrong. Phil lips will have about a million bushels of wheat this year, and now farmers in that county say they will want a thousand outside men. Rush county has increased its call from 14 5 men to 400. and Reno has raised Its call from 840 to 1.000. The increase In Reno county is wanted around Haven. A good many men, probably two or three thousand, perhaps more, have come in from Oklahom, and these are not counted In the above estimates. The southern Kan sas counties counted on this large Influx from Oklahoma and made their estimates accordingly. The number they asked for was in excess of those expected from the south. Today a college young man ap peared at Mr. Gerow's office in the state house and asked where to go to get work in the harvest fields. He said that he and another Indiana col lege boy had ridden their bicycles all the way from Indiana to work ?n the harvest fields. Mr. Gerow did not secure their names nor what place they are from. He sent them into Ellsworth county. "I think we are getting very few tramps and bums in the harvest fields this year," said Mr. Gerow today. "That is one thing we try to guard against, and none of that class Is sent out by this bureau or by the free employment agency in Kansas City. The farmers don't want any tramps sent out, be cause they will not work and they are a menace to the community. But not many of those who come to this de partment are of that class. It is gen erally not hard to distinguish them. I think as many as fifty have come here to my office in person to see about harvest work, and I have had no hest tancy in sending out all but two." Don C. Despain, who is at the head of the department of labor in Nebraska, has written Mr. Gerow that he has se cured a rate of one cent a mile for har vest hands In Nebraska who want to come down into Kansas. Mr. Gerow has written him to send any harvest hands who may apply to him into the northern part of the Kansas wheat belt. Edward Hill, editor of the Scottsvllle Advance, writes Director Gerow today that twenty women are needed In that ricinity to help about domestic work during harvest. Mr. Gerow has replied that he has no applications from wo men for that kind of work. Mr. Hill says: "I write In a hurry to ask if you can send any female help here during har vest. Am informed by a good man that twenty women are needed to help in housework during harvest." DOCTORS ARE NEGLIGENT. They Don't Report the Births Board of Health. to Some of the doctors dolrrg business in the city of Topeka may get a "po lice court record" unless they pay more attention to the city ordinance requiring them to report all births in which they are called as attendants. The board of health feels confident that it is not getting a complete rec ord of the births in Topeka. Sanitary Sergeant Pay has been given the job of notifying the delinquent physicians that they will get into trouble unless they obey the law. According to the city health de partment records, which are very in complete and unsatisfactory, the population of Topeka is dying off about twice as fast as new citizens are coming into existence. The fol lowing Is the record for this year: Births. Deaths. January 32 87 February 34 76 March 40 79 April 28 68 The board of health not only has a law to back up its efforts, but it fur nishes the doctors, free of charge with postal qards upon which to make their reports. The records of the healtn department might be made of reat value to the city, but they hav oeen much neglected. RAN OVER A BABY. Father Left in Charge Let It Wander Onto Railrond Track. Santa Fe train No. 113 ran over a negro baby three years old while it was playing on the tracks just outside of De Soto this morning, cutting the body almost in two. The name of the child or its parents has not been report ed to the Santa Fe officials here. The train was stopped, and the body taken to the child's home ,a short dis tance away. The child's father, who had been left in charge of the infant while its mother was away, was asleep. When he found out what had happened he got a pistol and was going to shoot some of the trainmen. De Soto is a small place about half way between Lawrence and Kansas City. Y. M. C. A. Meeting. Tonight the Y. M. C.

The to tal subscriptions are a little over $26, 000. Penrose and Roosevelt Classmates. Chicago, June 24. Physically the senior senator from Pennsylvania, Boies Penrose, is a giant. "Just look at him." said an admiring delegate from the Keystone state during the convention. "He was a classmate of Roosevelt at Harvard, and could beat Teddy at anything then, as he can now. Big and broad as he is, the big gest thing about Penrose ia his mod esty, and that is why we love him so. He is 'whooping it up" for Teddy Just as he always has. He says the 'Crim son' can't lose."

Doorkeepers at the convention hall Thursday came to believe that if what was told them was true every senator and delegate in the convention hall had a suffering relative who demand ed his instant attention. "Senator 's wife is very ill. 1 am the senator's son-in-law, and I must find him," gasped an excited young man who bolted into the press entrance. "Ticket." demanded the doorkeep er, stretching forth a detaining hand. "Never mind the ticket. She'll die before I can bring him to her," cried the man who wanted to get in. "No. she won't," replied the door keeper, soothingly.. "You just run outside and get a ticket and badge before you come back." "My 'four flush' had a bad spot in it somewhere." muttered the young man to a friend who had been watching the performance from the alley. "That fellow is only one of a hun dred." explained the doorkeeper. "They come on all kinds of pretexts, but the most common one is that they have news of sickness for some one inside. Lots of them have a card with Senator Depew's name on it. They seem to think those cards talismans. "I have only let in one man without a ticket.

Carter of To peka who has been Interesting them in a training school for the colored people at Topeka which, is now being carried on according to the plan of the institu tion at Tuskegee. "For several years they have been conducting a manual training school on Kansas avenue but now have a farm of one hundred and five acres located a mile and a half east of the city where the work is being carried on more ex tensively and with greater success. It is Mr. Carter's principle that every man either white or black needs to have a trade or profession to make him a safe citizen and he has compiled statistics which go to prove that the negro has not in tha majority of cases taken up a trade without a great deal of encour agement and It has been found that a very great per cent of colored men con fined in the prisons of the country are men who had no trades before commit ting the crimes which caused them to be imprisoned. While the Bchool is somewhat self- supporting It is not yet wholly so and Mr. Carter s mission here has been to ask the additional aid necessary."

The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immedi ate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin enres, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world. Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Sosp, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and often the thickened cuticle.

Pope Shrader Snys All Otler Roads I'avor Him. Pope August Shrader visited the State Journal office again today, after an absence from town o severa-1 weeks. The pope wil lbe in Topeka over Sundav, at 210 East Fifth street. He will visit the members of the Divine Catholic church, which claims sixty members here, ana win encourage them to eet out and hustle ur new members. From berj he will eo to Denver, Cheyenne, then back to Omaha, across into Wisconsin, Mich igan and neighboring states, after which he will return to Topeka. By that time he thinks things will be ripe here for the erection of a church building, and the location here of one of the bishors of his church. While the pope has been away from Topeka, he visited Iowa and neighbor- "Hobart's Own" are for those who want honest medi cines at fair prices. They're not nostrums you're wel come to know all about 'em. Frank Hobart, 500 West Tenht. ing states. He says he secured fifty converts in Rock Island, twenty in Des Moines and twenty in Dubuque. He states that his church has 400 members In Kansas. "All the railroads ?ive me annual passes," says Shrader, "except the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe does not seem inclined to help me. They offer me clergy rates, but I can't set a pass. Consequently it is necessary for me to do most of my work on other lines." The pope's attention was attracted to a copy of the Ram's Horn while visiting the State Journal office. He forgot for a moment his article or faith about not abusing anything or anybody, and said: "That paper is trashy. It spends all its time in criticising something. It seems to have such an intimate ac quaintance with the devil that I am inclined to think that some of the people who run it must have the devil in them." BOTH MEN RELEASED.

The results of the Chicago convention arrived here too late for press com ment this morning. The Novoe Vryerna. devotes a long editorial to speculation regarding the object of the enormous naval expansion of the United Slates, saying: "It is difficult to suppose it is for a pacific purpose and more difficult to imagine it is due to fear of aggression on the part of a European power." Continuing, the paper declares the only presumption left is that the United States is preparing to at no distant fu ture, attack some one. and warns the European statesmen to "beware of the boundless appetites of American ex porters, for which other means failing must be won by force of arms."

IND. 'PHONE 22. 103 KANSAS AVENUE SECURITY BUILDI.NQ. NEGRO MADE A SPEECH. Harry S. Cummings or Baltimore Sec onded Nomination of Roosevelt. Chicago. June 24 Harry S. Cum rntngs of Baltimore seconded the nomi nation of President Roosevelt in the following speech: Mr. Chairman, Fellow Delegates of the Republican National Convention, Ladies and Gentlemen: For the dis tinguished honor of seconding the nom ination of that grand type of the Amer ican citizen, Theodore Roosevelt, I am j.rofoundly grateful. Fortunate, in deed, is it for this government that it has had during the eight years just passed a political organization such is ours to meet face to face with un daunted courage and determination the many perplexing questions which have arisen during that period. Equally fort unate has been our party to have had within its ranks during this crucial period such men as our able, wise ami i patriotic McKinley, of beloved memory, and our capable, courageous and ag gressive Roosevelt, upon whose youth ful though ample shoulders the mantle of the great McKinley fell. Whether the questions affected our internal or external relations, they have been boldly met and wisely solved. Ve have carried to the Filipino, the I-'orto Rican and the Cuban the torch of light and intelligence, relieved them from the burdens and oppression of despotic rule, established civil govern ment among them and are teaching them the blessings of liberty and inde pendence. The Panama canal, "the key to the universe," the construction of v hi'-h has for centuries been the dream and fancy of more than one govenment, has under the prompt and decisive ac tion of this administration been taken from the realm of cloudland and dreamland and its completion in the near future has become a certain and lixed fact. The wise leadership of our party has kept so well adjusted our tariff and currency legislation that prosperity abounds in the land, labor is plentiful, the laborer is well paid and contented, capital multiplies and seeks additional outlets for new investments and enterprises. In a word, we have given a full and complete report of the stewardship committed to our care dur ing the past four years. It becomes the duty of this conven tion to name a general who, we hope and believe, will lead the great Repub lican host to victory in the coming election, a man who will in every way measure up to the responsibility of the high office of president or tnis country. Such an one in the person of our chief exec utive has been ably and eloquently placed before you, and heartily do we ell indorse what has been said. "Rv their fruits ye shall know them. Theodore Roosevelt brings to his party and the nation at the close of hisad ministration the precious fruits of three years' able and faithful service. The solemn promise made by him when gloom and distress overshadowed the nation, when stout hearts grew faint, when fears and misgivings were abroad In the land, when the nation bowed in tears for her fallen hero, that promise made at a most trying time in our country's life, ha3 been kept to the let ter and he brings as an evidence of such the plans and purposes of his martyred prodecessor fully developed and completed. He is above all things a true,, hon rst earnest, patriotic American citi zen. He is a leader of unflinching courage, a man of wisdom, a man of action. He is open and frank, free from intrigue or concealment. In his life and walk and conduct he stands nnapproached and unapproachable. He is a broad man. broad in intellect, broad in sympathies, broad in soul; he lends a listening ear to the cry of the downtrodden and oppressed, and -with strong and ready arm encircling the weak and helpless, he bids them rise and hope and live. He is a just man. and believes that a man should be judged by merit, and merit alone, and that the just rewards of faithful and patriotic service should be with held from no one for any cause what ever. With a vision unclouded by bias or prejudice, he sees through the outer clay, clad in different hues, the man within, and there beholds the image of the Divine Master indicat ing the fatherhood of G.od and the brotherhood of man. Criticism bitter, severe, unreason able has only served to make him the more devoted to his country's wel fare. He believes that corruption and dishonesty in private life and in pub lic office should be unearthed, exposed and punished, no matter who the fruilty party may be or how high in oflicial life he may stand. He believes that respect for and obedience to law are the foundation upon which this government must rest and that the violation of the oath of office is little less than treason. He believes that the constitution of the United States, and every amendment thereof, should be rigidly enforced, and that its vio lation, by whatever subterfuges or in debtedness of expression, should be condemned and remedied. He is, for these good and sufficient reasons, the siaa ivlioia the ieozle of evecy sec tion and in every walk of life want for this high office. First of all, the powerful Christian and moral sentiment of the nation de mands his nomination, and every Christian and moral agency will be exercised for his election. The labor ing interest demands him. The farm er, as with happy heart he gathers in his bounteous harvest, stands ready to do battle for his return. The miner, who in contentment digs away in the bowels of the earth, sees in him his salvation from oppression and encroachment. The business man, the capitalist to whom this administration has brought abundant success, eager ly awaits his nomination. So surely as he is nominated by this convention today, so surely will he be elected by the people in November. With his nomination and election, what an inspiring prospect opens up before the party and the nation. With it will come new efforts to promote a greater prosperity and a larger meas ure of happiness to all who dwell within our borders. With it will come that calm and peaceful assurance that w hile prosperous, happy and content ed at home, a wise, safe and skillful diplomacy guards and protects our every interest throughout the civilized world. And, finally, with it w ill come an advanced step towards the ful fillment of the great mission of the Republican party. And that mission will not be performed until every sec tion of our constitution, and every amendment thereof, shall be respect ed and made effective, and until every citizen of every section, of every race and of every religion shall proclaim in one grand chorus of that constitu tion, "Thou art my shield and buck ler." God grant that in our party's strug gle to reach that time it may ever have a man to place before the Amer ican people for their suffrage who has the. ability, courage, honesty and ag gressiveness of Theodore Roosevelt.

Chicago, June 24. George B. Cortel you who was chosen chairman of the Republican natiopal committee at a meeting held just after the adjournment of the convention, in thanking the com mittee for the honor told the members that, while he would be glad to have the benefit- of their advice and counsel, he intended to be chairman in fact, and would accept no dictation from any one, high or low. He told them that the friends of the late chairman, Mr. Han na, were his friends, and he asked for the same measure of confidence and support that had been given to tne late chairman. In conclusion he sought the advice of both old and new members. Mr. Cortelyou made no formal state ment of his plans. He resigned as sec retary of commerce and labor as soon as he was elected chairman, the resig nation to take effect as soon as his successor qualifies, which will be about July 1. Secretary Cortelyou will not give any active time to political mat ter until he retires from the cabinet. No vice chairman will be appointed and the new chairman will divide his time between the New York and Chi cago headquarters although some mem bers of the committee will no doubt be designated to take charge of the headquarters in this city. Headquar ters win not De openea in either city until the last part of July. Meanwhile Mr. Cortelyou expects to select the ex ecutive committee and make his pre liminary arrangement for the campaign. as soon as tne committee was called to order. Postmaster General Payne in a complimentary speech, nominated Mr. Cortelyou for chairman and the election was without a dissenting voice. Messrs. Clayton, Arkansas, Murphy, New Jersey, and Yerkes, Kentucky, were appointed a committee to notify the new chairman and bring him before the committee. After Mr. Cortelyou's remarks Elmer Dever of Ohio, was named for secretary by Senator Scott; Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York, for treasurer, by Governor Murphy; and William x1 stone of Maryland, for ser-geant-at-arms, by Senator McComas. All of these officers were unanimously re-elected. A resolution was passed authorizing the chairman to appoint an executive committee of nine with such other officers as are necessary for the management of the campaign. The chairman, secretary, -treasurer and ser geant-at-arms are to be officers of the executive committee. Under the reso lution the chairman is given absolute power in the conduct of the campaign. Chairman Parker, of the Missouri delegation, presented to the committee invitation from David R. Francis, pres ident of the Louisiana exposition, ask ing the committee to dine with him to night. The thanks of the committee were voted to Mr. Francis for the cour tesy, but it was stated that the en gagement of the members of the com mittee would prevent them from ac cepting. v The vacancy in the committee from Louisiana was left to the chairman to fill. The delegation from that state is deadlocked and could not choose a member. A resolution of thanks was voted to the old committee and the committee adjourned to meet upon the call of the chairman. Chairman Cortel you ate luncheon with the committee at the Coliseum after the adjournment and in the evening he was in constant conference with party leaders in his rooms at the Chicago club. Many sug gestions were made to him concerning the selection of an executive committee and other matters concerning the com ing campaign. He listened to all, say ing that he would give them attention when he relinquished his duties as a member of the cabinet. $20.00. Chicago and return via Rock Island Ei'Stem; ood all summer.

Sitting- tilted back in a big arm chair at his desk the president chatted freely and frankly with those about him. All were his personal friends, and the president realized perfectly that the little confidences of the "executive ses sion, as he mmself termed it. would be held as inviolable. He talked and acted, not as president of the United fctates, not as the standard bearer of a great political party, but as Theodore Koosevelt, the man and friend. ltn genial raillery he chatted with one; ex changed comments on men or things with another; laughed heartily at a cartoon of himself to which attention was drawn; sketched in a free hand way incidents of the convention; re called some interesting situations, per sonal and political and, in conclusion, again thanked his friends for express ing their congratulations. Aside from Secretary Loeb, Assist ant Secretary of State Francis Lt. Loomis was the first official of the ad ministration to extend his congratula tions. Later in the day, however, other officials called at the White House to felicitate him upon his nomination. During the late afternoon and early evening telegrams from all parts of the country poured Into the White House offices, by the score, each bearing its words of cheer and good wishes. As soon as the president received news of the nomination of Fairbanks as candidate for vice president he sent to him a telegram of congratulation and shortly afterward received an answer expressing appreciation or tne distinc tion conferred bv the nomination. Among the telegrams received was one from a few of his Long lsiana neign- bors, as follows: "Garden City, N. i June zs. ine President, White House. Washington: Your Nassau neighbors send greetings and congratulations wishing you all prosperity and a continued career 01 usefulness to the nation. A triumphant election will be but your well merited reward. Lewis, Cheshire, Johnson, Youngs." A party of the famous Rough Riders sent this message: "Convention Hall, Chicago. June 23. Col.

Every soldier of your regi ment will be on duty from now until you are elected president. May God bless you. Alex. O. Brodie, W. II. II. Llewellyn, T. J. Lehey, E. Dame, S. Simpson."

:OPEKA STATE JOTJIINAI4 FRIDAY EVEMNG.JtJNE 24, 1904. WILL TliEY CLOSE Saturday Night Question Again Considered by Merchants. For TwoSeasons They Ha?e Quit at 6 P. M. IS NOT YET DECIDED. Women's Federation Taking No Action This Year. Sentiment Among Dry Goods Men Farors Closing. VHKKE FIRIXG MXS WENT. New Historical IMscovery Concerning State House War. TYiU the Topeka stores close at 6 o'clock on Saturday nights during July and August this year, as they have for the past two summers? That Is what the merchants and employes are discussing:, and although the ques tion Is not settled it is not likely that the business houses will be willing to take a step backward in this respect. As one of the department managers of a fashionable Kansas avenue dry goods establishment said this morn ing: "T'nless Topeka wants to be count ed in the country town class, the stores will not keep open Saturday rights during the hot weather. In the cities the shops close every night in the year at 6 o'clock and at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoons." The city federation of women's clubs has heretofore interested itself in this matter, and was indeed respon sible for the Saturday early closing hour which was in effect last sum mer and the summer before. So far this year, however, nothing has been done by the club women, not through lack of interest, but because having started the movement they expect it -to perpetuate itself if it has proven itself advantageous to the interests of the employer and the employes. Nev ertheless, most of the club women are taking enough interest individually to express the hope, to the merchants whom they patronize, that the clerks w ill not be kept in the stores until 10 o'clock Saturday nights during mid summer. At Warren M. Crosby's the employes have been a-sked whether they would prefer to get off at 6 o'clock Saturday nights during July and August or work until 10 o'clock during those months and have their Saturday nights free in the winter time. No vote has been ta ken but the question has been discuss ed informally. From "the standpoint of the management the early closing hour In winter is more advantageous. In the summer time many people postpone their shopping until after the heat of the day and like to come down in the evening whereas in winter except dur ing the holiday trade the stores are comparatively empty on Saturday nights. Also early closing in winter would save expenses in heat and light. Pome of the employes are also in favor of Saturday nights off in winter in pre ference to summer on account of the theaters and kindred attractions but the majority probably prefer to have the rest during the hot weather. "1 am in favor of early closing on Saturday night." one proprietor said today, "but I think the people who make this request of the merchants should show their appreciation by do ing their shopping before 6 o'clock on that night. It is very inconsistent of a woman to ask us to let our employes off on Saturday night and then come down and shop after 6 o'clock at the places that refuse to close. Last sum mer cart of the stores closed and oth ers staid open. I saw people who had eskefi us to close and who were very much concerned about our employes working on Saturday nights shopping ss late as 9 o'clock in the stores that etafd open. There is one way to settle this question once for all and a month would do it: let the people who want the clerks to have a rest do their shop ping before 6 o'clock and refuse to patronize any store after that hour In the summer time. They would all close then. "The early closing hour on Saturday nifrht in tlio summer is certainly the rim-it thing," W. W. Mills of the Mills I 'ry (roods company said. It may be little Inconvenient for shoppers to come clown town in the heat of the day, but Jt mn'-ps a hig difference to something line tf employes wnose only cnance lor ret and recreation is in the eveninir In case the Saturday early closing rule stock into effect this summer the same as last, tomorrow night will be the last Sat rr lay nischt that the stores will be open 11X1111 me nrsi oi seuu'moer.

Some of the heretofore unwritten his tory of the "legislative war" of 1893, is told by A. A. Richards of the Welling ton Mail. It solves the mystery of what became of the firing pins of the gatling gun, the absence of which pre vented battery A of Wichita from bom barding the state house when the Re publican members were holding Repre sentative hall against all comers. Mr. Richards' story, as told In the Wel lington Mail, is as follows: Some 20 years ago there came from Caldwell to Wellington a border town policeman who became Jailer of the county, Willis D. Metcalf. He was a rather uncouth specimen, claid in the garb of the frontier and displaying the swagger and bravado of the "Border Queen" official who imagined he must be a "bad man" generally. Metcalf made a good jailer from a purely tech nical, official point of view: but if there are any of the ten commandments, or any law of God or man that he was not accused of at least fracturing, we have forgotten it. But there was one sphere in which Metcalf was faultless. He had a liking for military life. He joined the local militia company and was a model sol dier. In his daily life he was uncouth and slovenly; but whenever he donned his uniform he became a model of neat ness and becomepunctiliouslypolite and gentlemanly. He became first lieuten ant of the company and no officer of the company ever made a better rec ord. Metcalf found himself surrounded by such an unpleasant odor after going out of office that It was difficult for him to Becure profitable employment in Wel lington; so he moved to Wichita where he was employed, with more or less regularity, on the sheriff's and police force. Here he joined battery A of the state militia and soon became captain or tne company. He occupied this position in January 1893, when Governor Lewelling ordered his battery to Topeka for the purpose of dislodging the Republican house of representatives from representative hall. Meteairs battery obeying orders, planted their cannon on the state house grounds in position to command the Copeland hotel and the east entrance to the state house. Their orders were to fire and shoot to kill unless the Republican forces obeyed certain or ders given by General Artz, of unsavory memory. Vhen the cannon were in position an order was given to fire a blank charge to test the guns. It was then dlscov ered that the firing pins had been re moved from the cannon. The cry of treason" was raised and the entire battery was drawn up ln line and every officer and man in Battery A was searched for the missing firing pins But they were not found. A few mo ments before the first order was given to fire the blank charge, Metcalf quiet ly approached the editor of the Mail who was on the ground throughout the "legislative war," and, handing him the missing firing pins, requested that they be kept safely "until the storm Is over. Later in 1893 Metcalf secured em ployment as a Columbian guard at the Worlds fair at Chicago and, we be lieve, never returned to Kansas. While engaged at Chicago, he becames ac quainted with some congenial spirits from Brazil and the next we knew of him, he was sailing from New Orleans for Brazil with a company or men sailing as ordinary citizens; but when they arrived ln Brazil they were to constitute a company, under tne com mand of Metcalf, in the Brazilian rev olutionary army. We have never learn ed the details of his career in Brazil. The next we heard of Metcalf he was either chief or assistant chief of police at Santiago de Cuba but learned no de tails. Only a few months later, he turned up first lieutenant in the Porto Rican provisional guards at San Juan. Then he dropped out of sight again. About a year ago, Probate Judge J T. Showalter. who was Metcalf's lieu tenant colonel in 1893. discovered that our whilom policeman-jailor had be come Captain Willis D. Metcalf of the coast artillery stationed at some point on the Atlantic coast, finally located for life in a position exactly suited to his tastes and propensities.

Judge Ferry Making Up Report Rock Island Case. in Judge L. S. Kerry, acting as referee un der appointment from Judge Hazen. is now making up the findings of fact and conclusions of law in the most volumiTi ous civil case ever filed in the district court.

Kansas City and Colorado iai way company, which is in reality the Rock Island line between Kansas City and St. Louis, lust opened for traffic. The plaintiffs claim that the company owes them $134,000 for work of grading 41 miles of road. The dispute arises over the classification of the work. The con tractors were to receive certain pay for handllne- loose dirt, certain pay for handling rock, etc., and the contractors claim that in settling the company pu too much of the work under the cheap classification.

FOR A PRIVATE HOSPITAL. by the mayor, he had no other place to put them. A few days ago the jailer complained to the mayor that two men who were not wards of the city, having never been arrested, were staying in the hospital, where Dr. Storrs was treating them for the vilest of diseases, and that they were kept there by Storrs' orders and were being fed by the city for no reason whatever. The mayor ordered them to leave the place, and they did, after a lot of grumbling, and the officers were preparing to clean up the hos pital room and fumigate it, when an other case of the same nature was unloaded on them. The police are thoroughly disgusted, and say that both Storrs and Poor Commissioner Hale unload all such cases they find on the city prison. It Is very doubtful If Rev. Mr. Sheldon will be pleased to find out that the place he intended as a tempary hospital for injured policemen or prisoners, is being used as a detention camp for the very worst diseases, and a. private hospital for the city physician's use. SWEXDSOX'S BRUTAL RETOIiT. Councilman's Reflection on torney Spencer. City At- "If the council takes such action it will have another of these fool law suits on its hands." "Yes. and we've got a fool lawyer to take care of it for us." This neat little exchange of compli ments took place last night at the meeting of the streets and walks com mittee. Party of the first part was City Attorney Spencer, and the reply was shot out hotly by S. A. Swendson, chairman of the committee. The dis pute was in regard to the creation of a benefit district for opening and widening Smith street. The city at torney is of the opinion that the clty has no right to open this street in the way proposed, and believes that a law suit against the city can be sus tained. Despite his opinion, the com mittee voted to recommend to the council that the benefit district be created. There was very little business of any conseouence transacted by the com mittee last night. ihe committee de cided that the city railway should move its tracks 19 inches further south at Huntoon and Jackson, so that they would come in the center of the street. The company objects to doing this, and threatens to fight the case in the courts before submitting. Saw 100 New Stars. Berkeley, Cal., June 24. Prof. W. J.

His Keiorts Continue to Be Heard From in Distant Lands. .The Kansas department of agricul ture is constantly receiving testimo nials of the value which is placed upon the reports of the Kansas state board of agriculture. Two of these have just come to hand. One is from far-off New Zealand and the other from Germany. The New Zealand letter is from Ed win Hall, secretary of the Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral association, at Auckland, New Zealand. In it Mr. Hall says: "I am instructed to thank you most cordially for the very valuable agri cultural reports which you kindly forwarded, and to state that we have found them so extremely interesting and instructive that we should be glad to make arrangements to receive all publications issued by your depart ment regularly. "Could you kindly add to the obli gations our committee are already un der to you by favoring us with the address of any bookseller who would iorward them from time to time as they are issued. I would remit promptly on receipt of account from any bookseller who would undertake to send them." The other letter is addressed to Secretary Coburn from Mannheim, Germany, and reads as follows: Dear Sir Two years ago, while I was in Kansas City, you had the kind ness of forwarding to me a copy of your report to the secretary of agri culture at Washington. As I returned from your country only a short time ago and I myself. Just as well as my firm, are very much interested in the grain importing business over here, I would be greatly obliged to you for favoring me again with a copy of your biennial report. I am only glad to refund you your expense, and please name same to me. "My address is Theo. Schalff, care of Eduard Meyer, Getreide, Agentur Mannheim. Yours very truly "THEO. SCHALFF." NEWMAN AS A TRAILER,. County Clerk Is the Bloodhound of Shawnee County. County Clerk Newman will soon be gin the work of hunting up property in Shawnee county which has escaped taxation. The work will be done at the instigation of the board of county commissioners. Just what Newman will find is un certain but the commissioners wish to have a thorough investigation of the conditions in order that they may known in the future how well the work is and has been done. In other coun ties in the state this work has resulted in the addition re mnnir v.,e,o v .nuanua JL dollars to the tax rolls. The 'reports of the assessors in Shawnee county seem to show that much property escapes taxation. There is nothing to use by way of compari son and all ideas of property escapina taxation is based on supposition. The returns show the value of mort gages in the county to be $528,445. The general opinion is that this repre sents but a small .part of the actual value of mortgages in the county sub ject to taxation. The value of taxable notes is returned as $170,367 and the judgments at $1,460. Both of these appear to be very low. The average amount of manufacturers moneys and credits is reported as $7,964 and this may be less than what it should be. Last year County Clerk Newman began an agitation for a better assess ment and the result was that without any organized work on the part of the assessors the assessed valuation in Shawnee county was raised materially.

One of the unique privileges to be enjoyed by thousands of World's Fair guests is that of living at a hotel in side the grounds during their stay at the exposition. No other exposition has afforded such a privilege. This hotel, aptly named "The Inside Inn," has a capacity of 6,000 guests. Its enormous size attracts great attention. It is located near the southeastern corner of the grounds, close to an intramural railway station. and in easy walking distance of the "main picture" of the fair. The Inside Inn is to be conducted under the supervision of the World's Fair officials, who fix the prices for accommodations rooms. meals, etc. Thus it may be seen that there can be no extortion whatever. Every guest registering at the hotel will know ex actly what price he must pay per day for his room or rooms ana ror nis meals. The guest pays his way into the World's Fair grounds 50 cents. If he stops at the Inside Inn the hotel rates include the daily price of admis sion. There is great-demand for rooms at the Inside Inn, the bookings having been in progress for several months. There are 2,257 rooms; they range in price from $1.50 to $2.50. per day, rooms with bath costing from $3.50 to $5.50. All these rates include the price of admission to the fair after the first admission fee of 50 cents is paid at the gate. Single meals at the Inn will cost as follows: Breakfast. 50 cents; luncheon, 50 cents; evening dinner, 7 5 cents. There is also a ser vice a la carte at very reasonable rates. Guests who desire to obtain ac commodations on the American plan may do so, at fixed rates, according to location of room. Every convenience usually found at a first-class hotel is to be provided at the Inside Inn, and those who stay there during their visit will have the advantage of barber shop, bath, lounging rooms, parlors, cool veran das and other privileges.

He Deliver"! a Lecture at Cooper's Corners on Hustle. My dear fellow men and women that is, my dear fellow six men, seven women and three children, who have assembled here this evening- in re sponse to the notices tacked on the doors of the postoffice, cooper shop and other places my lecture this evening: is on the subject of "Hustle," and in addition to my words I shall stand before you as a living example of my subject. The only request I fhall make of you Is not to take my remarks too literally. That is, don't pet a hustle on you before the usual collection is taken up. When we go groping back to find Vie first man who hustled we bump Am again Adam. He wasn't born that way, but one day after he had thought thingrs over, he got a hustle on him. He discovered that if he was not to live and die alone he had got to move on' and find a woman, and lie didn't let the grass grow under his feet when he once got started. I don't know whether Eve was peeping through a knothole in the fence, and waiting to be discovered, or whether Adam took to the woods and fol lowed her trail and run her down, but she found herself in the garden in li e time and had to make herself use ful. I ain't no alarmist, and I would not conjure up any nightmares for you. but as a sort of side issue let me state that if Adam hadn't hustled the hamlet of Cooper's Corners wouldn't have had a place on the state maps as being situated on Gooseberry creek. There were other hustlers long enough B. C. Pharaoh didn't catch th children of Israel, but he hustled after them so vigorously that a few were hit in the back before they rearhed their destination. Cain hustled. From all I can hear about Abel, he was the sort of young, man who dawdled around for a week be fore starting in to wean one of his father's calves or break a colt to hal ter, tie was good natured and a -square man, but he didn't know how to get up and dust. On the contrary, when his brother. Cam. had anything on hand, he pulled off his coat and made the fur fly. He could have conspired to get Abel in love arid have the girl throw him down and break his heart, but that was too slow even for those old days. When he made up his mind that Abel ought to go, he went out and found a club, spat on his hands, and walked out to the dawdler and cracked him on the head. He was the pioneer in that business arid didn't get much credit for it for a good many hundred years, but we have learned at last to appreciate him for what he was. L 1 Walked Out to the Dawdler and Cracked Him One on the Head. My dear friends, we will approach all Biblical subjects with due reverence, hut let me ask you, what would have happened to Jonah if he had been a lazy-bones sort of man instead of a hustler? He must have wondered v,nere ne was at when he was swal lowed by the whale, but he didn't lie down and ask what was the use. On the contrary, he hustled around and got out of his fix and proved that he had the right kind of hump to his gait. Some of the pastoral patriarchs of old were hustlers, and some sat down to wait for luck to come along. In the end the hustlers came to own all the tattle and asses and goats, and the waiters had to go to work by the month. Later on the Persians woke up and hustled. When they got a move on them they did everlastingly soak it to half a dozen different nations and knock trust companies and combina tions sky-high, and had they continued they must in time have bossed the earth. But they fell down. They got fat and lazy and let go of ambition, and other nations which had learned to hustle came back at them and brought old King Darius to his marrow bones. You are six miles off the railroad here at Cooper's Corners, and you've never had a tire, a murder or a scandal, but you must have heard of Rome and the Romans. Great Scott! but when old Rome got a hustle on her she made the mud fly a'l over Europe. Nothing could stand before her. She gobbled up new land by the million acres, and she took so many captives that she got tired of spearing them to death. For 200 years she had a hump on her, and she kept things red hot for a thousand miles around. Then hustle disappeared amd laziness took its place, and it 5oc, 69c, 75c, 89c, 98c up 75c, 98c, $1.25, $1.75 up ,oc 25c, 45c 50c, 89c up .25c, 35c, 50c, 75c and 98c -5oc, 75c, $1.00 and $1.25 oka Gasli Dry Goods Go. tl i-.'-. -v. 1 W f ir ts&, t- WW ELMEK DOVER, SECRETARY OF THE REPVBLICAX NATIONAL COMMITTEE. wasn't a dozen years before you would have to scratch a Roman with a curry comb to make him fight. The once mighty Roman Empire is a thing of the dust, and it was letting go that did it. Don't start into hustle for today or next week or next year, but to hustle for all time. Let us come to a later date. I can't say that there was any special reason for hustle in building the Pyramids of Fgypt, but they didn't lag over it. They reasoned, at least, that the soon er they were finished the sooner'the workmen could be sent over the coun try to hoe corn or dig potatoes, -and the overseers were right on hand to see that everybody worked his ten hours a day, and that walking dele gates who came spooking around got the boot. Those Pyramids went up faster than the house painter of to day climbs a ladder, and when His tory woke up one morning and said she guessed she'd like a few heaps of masonry scattered over the deserts to furnish shade for tired grasshop pers, behold! they were there. Napoleon might have been a club man and sucked at the head of a cane and been two hours nibbling at a ham: sandwich, but he jumped In to fill the place. He didn't ask a question as to hours or wages or how long the job would last. He simply drew a long breath and hustled, and he didn't stop until he had tossed the kings of Europe around like so many balls. There was a man to emulate! If he had a nation to lick he didn't sit if i ir A 'Willi i' -ii v r 1 -i 7 1 x. CORNET J VS N. BLISS, TREASURE R OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

You, can't be a Napoleon, as times have changed, but you can hustle. If you are going to put a ring in the nose of a bull or saw the horns off a cow, get out and do it, and -have it over before you pull off your boots to go to bed. Owing to my native modesty it is seldom that I refer to myself in my lectures, but there are times when I must do so, and hope for lenient criticism. This is one of the occa sions. I was born fat and good na tured. At the age of twenty-three all I asked for in this world was fourteen hours' sleep out of the twenty-four, and that bumblebees would let me alone the rest of the time. If a change had not come, I should have in time given up walking down to the corner to see the circus come in, and would have probably closed with the first offer from a dime museum for a What Is It, but a change came. A lightning rod man came along and ran over me, and then he got out of his wagon and gave me a booting for not getting out of the way. Next day I was a changed man. I got out of bed with both feet at once. I got out w.th a feel ing to hustle. I hoed more corn that day than in the two weeks before, and in spite of the predictions that I was going to mv grave, I continued to make the fur fly. My friends, the man before you is Q. ?llh .i-,-2;2vL 'x I WWW I ELJ Hope Jones the young man who woke up and hustled. When I found that I had got a gait on me, I began to aspire. I could have started out with a. horse lini ment or a one-minute corn cure and made my mark, but I was not satisfied with that. Hustling begets a desire to reach the top limb. When I had selected my limb I climbed for it, and here I am. This was my pinnacle, and I have reach ed it. You can do as much. You may sit here tonight with your mouths open and your brains wondering how you can do it, but to hustlers nothing? Is Impossible. Some of you may pause when reaching a governorship or the presidency, but to such of you as press onward and upward until you stand beside me I shall have the hand of fellowship and words of congrat ulation.

Since the cleaning and painting of the walls and ceilings of the court house began the officers and clerks have had occasion to express their views of the 1 11,000 worth of steel filing cases and furniture of the court house. When the court house was com pleted and the board of county com missioners decided to buy the furni ture a company manufacturing steel filing cases was successful and the furiture cost $11,000. Now when the cases have had to be moved to ac commodate the painters the services. of a. house mover have been almost necessary. The cases are heavy and cumbersome and they warp and bend and break and stick and are about the poorest contrivances ever invented. GOOD PLACE TO STAY. Patients at Pest House Don't Care to Leave. The city Thursday released the last of its smallpox patients -from the pest house, according to the statement of the health officers. The last ones were a North Tcpeka man and his son. The man has had the disease, but the son was taken out on suspicion, and did not develop any cymptoms. It has been costing the city a lot of money to pay the running expenses of the pest house. The patients who go out there report that they get plenty of good things to eat. Some of them are perfectly willing to stay there as long as the city will let them. SOUTH TOPEKA.

Charles TV. Swayze Tries to Throw Her Out of a Window. In an Office on the Elerenth Floor of a iiuildiug. DESPERATE STRUGGLE. Ends In His Shooting Her and Jumping Oat Himself. He Is Dead and the Woman W.I 11 Kecorer. Detroit, Mich., June 24. Charles W'. Ewayze, employed by a life Insurance company and former assistant superin tendent of the Detroit house of correc tion today shot Miss Effie Alvord twice while the couple were in a private office in the company's suite on the eleventh floor of the Chamber of Com merce building and then jumped from the window himself. He was picked tip and died as he was carried into the lobby of the building-. Miss Alvord was shot in the neck and is not seriously hurt, it is reported. Miss Alvord drove to the Chamber ef Commerce building in an automobile acompanied by a man. She went to the office of the life insurance com pany and asked to have a private in terview with Mr. Swayze. She was shown into the private office fronting on the State street side of the build ing where Swayze joined her, shutting and locking the door. In a few moments other persons in the office heard a struggle, then screams which were fol lowed in quick succession by several pistol shots. Manager McCall of the agency broke in the door. Miss Alvord was prostrate on the floor, her hair dishevelled. Tier waist torn and blood pouring from the wounds in her neck and wrist. Through the open window Mr. McCall could see Swayze's hands lutching the window ledge. They were In view only for a moment. Then Swayze let go and his body went whirl ing down through the air. It hit several wires and turned over twice, striking on the face and chest. A bullet wound in his nose showed that he also had shot himself. There was just a breath of life in the Tmdy when it was picked up and that flickered out before he had been car ried into the Chamber of Commerce lobby. Meanwhile physicians in the building had been summoned to the in surance office to attend Miss Alvord. They found that her wounds were not iatal. Occupants of a building across the treet from the Chamber of Commerce ay that Swayze attempted to throw Miss Alvord out of the window. Her head and shoulders were seen across the ledge and she was fighting desper ately. Then the couple disappeared from the window and the shots rang out followed by Swayze's mad plunge. A letter written by Swayze was found and explains the tragedy. It is alleged that the letter says Miss Al vord was responsible for Swayze's los ing his position at the house of correc tion. Miss Alvord is an employe of a tewing machine company but worked at the house of correction when Swayze was there. Her home is said to be at gaginaw, Mich.

BURGLAR ALARM THAT WORKED Frank Newland's Store Entered But Family Is Aroused. What is supposed to have been an attempt to burglarize Frank New land's grocery store, at the corner of Sixth avenue and Lake street, occur red last night after the family had retired. Mr. Newiand lives above the store, and the front door of the grocery is connected with a bell In the residence by an electric contact, which rings when the door is opened. Mr. New land was not at home when the sharp ring of the alarm bell notified the family that the door was beins open ed, so a boy employed at the store fired a revolver to call the policeman on that beat. When an investigation was made the door was found stand ing open, and had evidently been un locked, as the lock was not broken. Nothing is missing from the store, and the thief was probably frightened away by the ringing of the bell and the revolver shots before he had time to take anything. WINNER GETS $40,000.

FAIRBANKS' MOTHER Thinks the Senator Preferred to Re main in Congress. Springfield, O., June 24. The mother of Senator Fairbanks. Mrs. Adelaide Fairbanks, lives in this city with her daughter, Mrs. M. L. Mil ligan. She is 74 years old. She is of the opinion that her son would have preferred to remain a senator instead of becoming- the nominee for vice president. "I was in Washington last winter at his home," she said, "and many men came to see him in regard to his being a candidate for vice president. I am, of course, very proud that he should have been nominated, and par ticularly since there was such a strong demand for him that he could hardly do otherwise than accept. I think the position he now has is one of the most honorable that a man can have in politics. There is a great deal of influence and dignity about the sen ate and a great many opportunities to do good. Mrs. Fairbanks received an affec tionate message from her son in less than an hour after the convention ad journed. Senator Fairbanks has ex tensive manufacturing interests in this city and owns much real estate here. The senator visited his mother here about two weeks ago. WILL GO TO REFORMATORY.

The News today says: After a lengthy confer ence between Acting Governor Hag- gott and Adjutant General Beil, a re duction of the military force in the Cripple Creek district and a change in the disposition of the remaining force has been determined upon. "There is no prospect of martial law being declared off or that the mil itary will be wholly withdrawn in the immediate future," said the general. "The step we are taking must not be construed to mean such withdrawal. Martial law and the soldiers are there to stay indefinitely. We simply have the situation so in hand as to be able to rearrange the force to advantage." Kennedy Sues Bond Company. J. M. Kennedy was insured in the now defunct Central A.ccident and Life Insurance company. He lost an arm. The company failed and quit business, and he sued for $1,500 and got judgment.

New York. June 24. A franchise has been granted by the rapid transit commission to the New York Connect ing railroad company for building a viaduct railroad through Long Island City to the East river at a point op posite Ward's island, thence by means of a bridge to pass over AVard's and Randall's islands to join the New Ha ven Hartford system at Mott Haven. Consent of the board of aldermen re mains to be secured. The proposed route is pa"rt of a plan evolved by the Pennsylvania rail road company to provide means for the extension of the traffic to New England territory. The connecting comwany is building large freight yards and piers at Greenville, N. J., and in South Brooklyn. Freight from the Pennsylvania lines may, by the new line, be ferried directly across the bay and hauled to the New Haven ter minal at Mott Haven by rail.
