Mrs. Florence Slaybrick is free. She left here at 11:42 a. m., today on her way to France. Mrs. Maybrick's Imrrisonment was not terminated with the clang of doors at Aylesbury prison, where she spent more than 14 years of her life. It closed before the doorway of the white convent of the Sisterhood of the Epl phany in this little town, with the black robed sisters softly uttering their blessings and good wishes for her future. With two companions, Mrs. Maybrick entered the carriage of Miss Dalrymple, secretary of the sister hoods and was driven rapidly to Staus stel. a small station 14 miles away, where, after exchanging good byes with her companions, she boarded a train and started on her journey to France. She will not go to America until her presence there is con sidered imperatively necessary. Se crecy was thrown about Mrs. Maybrick's departure. Mother Super ior Julian, of the convent, said to a representative of the Associated Pres3 that under instructions she must refer all inquiries to the home office. Others at the convent were equally uncom municative. At the railroad station or ders were issued forbidding the em ployes to discuss Mrs. Maybrick. The little town has taken deep inter est in this international figure. Crowds dally stood at the gate of the grounds waiting for Mrs. Maybrick to appear. They were rarely rewarded for she generally went .out only when the road was reported clear. When Mrs. Maybrick first arrived here she was kept under strict sur veillance. Subsequently she was allow ed to walk in the quiet streets of the town and in the country lanes. The villagers soon got to recognize the black rpbed woman .with black bonnet and flowing strings, and gave her kindly greetings, which frequently passed un noticed. Mrs. Maybrick seeking so far as possible to avoid the attention of the curious. Her time at the convent was taken up by sewing, reading and chatting with the sisters, endearing herself to them by many acts showing that even the many years of servitude at Aylesbury prison, had been unable to stamp out her innate kindly flisposl tion. Mrs. Maybrick. who was Miss Flor ence Elizabeth Chandler, a member of a well known and southern family, was married July 27. 1881. in St. James church, Piccadilly, to James Maybrick, of Liverpool. She was then 18 years old. Her husband was over 40 years of age. In the spring of 18S9. Mr. May brick became ill and in a few days he died. His brother investigated his death and charged Mrs. Maybrick with the murder of her husband. A long trial followed and a number of doctors swore that the deceased died of ar senical poison. The defense proved that for 20 years Mr. Maybrick had been a confirmed user of arsenic and that he dally took doses large enough to have killed a dozen ordinary men. Mrs. May brick was eventually sentenced to death by the Judge. Sir Fitzjames Stephen, who spoke for two days in charging the Jury. He said it was impossible for them to find her not guilty In the face of the medical evidence. The judge died some time later in a mad house. From the time of Mrs. Maybrick's conviction her mother, the Baroness de Roques. was unremitting in her efforts in behalf of the prisoner. She succeeded in having the death sen tence commuted to penal servitude for life, and finally has obtained the freedom of her daughter, to whose re lease from prison she has devotea her life. The baroness was aided by in fluential friends on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1900, after the death of Lord Russell of Killowen, chief justice of Knglana. a letter which he had writ ten to airs. MayoncR in 1895 was discovered. It showed he was con vinced that she ought never to have been convicted, and it has been gen erally understood that all the recent American ambassadors to the court of Ft. James have done everything pos sible to obtain Mrs. Maybrick's par don. The fact of her probable release was used as a reason for securing the postponement of a trial last year of lawsuits bearing on Mrs. -Mavbrlck's Interest in land in Kentucky. Virginia and West Virginia until she was able personally to testify, if she was not able to testify in these suits Mrs. Mav- brick and her mother would have lost ail title ana interest in the many thousands of acres of land involved in the case. On February 4 last. Home Secre tary Akers-Douglas. replying to a question in the house of commons, confirmed the reports which had been In circulation that Mrs. Mayjbrick had been removed from Aylesbury prison to a convalescent home, where she would remain until summer, when she would be allowed her freedom. The home secretary said a license had been granted to Mrs. Maybrick under the penal servitude acts. The transfer of the prisoner from a penal prison to a quiet country home constituted an almost unprece dented action on the part of the Brit ish authorities. It was due to the mediation of the Duchess of Bedford, who as a visitor to Aylesbury prison for many years had taken a keen per sonal interest in Mrs. Maybrick. and finally succeeded in obtaining the mitigation of her punishment to the extent of her being allowed to spend the last six months of her confine ment outside the prison walls.

Declines Invitation to Visit Parker at Present. Judge Esopus, N. Y.. July 20. United States Senator Arthur P. Gorman of Mary land who has been asked to become chairman of the Democratic national convention 'was invited by Judge Par ker to come to Rosemount. with former Senator Davis, the vice presidential candidate, and it was taken for grant ed that he would come, until the fol lowing dispatch from him. dated New York, was given out: "Regret that it will be impossible for me to accompany Senator Davis. It will afford me pleasure later on." Offered Chairmanship. New York, July 20. Senator Gor man, as a result of the conferences of the distinguished Democrats who have been meeting here, has been usked to become chairman of the Democratic national committee. With great reluctance he has taken the re quest under consideration, but' it seems certain that he will decline. William F. Sheehan is the next choice but he also may not accept, chiefly because he regards his health as un equal to the strain. Should neither Senator Gorman, nor Mr. Sheehan ac cept the chairmanship. opinion is quite uncertain as to who may be chosen. Judge Parker has declined to say who should be the chairman. preferring to leave the matter en tirely with his advisers and the na tional Democratic committee. 7,000 IN ONE DAY.

Baltimore Man Made Grand Exalted Kulcr of the Elks. Cincinnati, Ohio, July 20. While the 18th annual reunion of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been in progress all this week the fortieth meeting of the grand lodge did net be gin until yesterday when morning, af ternoon and night sessions were he'd. There were but two candidates for grand exalted ruler. The ba"ot re sulted as follows: W. J. O'Brien, Jr., of Baltimore. 710; Samuel H. Needs of Cleveland, 379. When nominations were all mads a recess was taken from 7 o'clock riitil 9 o'clock for the purpose of having all the nominations printed on the Austral ian ballot. While the delegates were engaged i.l these sessions there was much agitation among the visiting Elks over the ex posures in the annual reports about the alleged extravagance in the expenses of certain general officers and the disorap ancy between the different reports. It is explained that these discrepan cies are due to the demoralized and in complete condition of the recorls in the office of Grand Secretary Reinolds. No such explanation is given of the charges of Grand Treasurer Needs of extravagance. Needs reports 86 district deputies drew $3,039 at the Baltimore reunion last year while the standing commit tee and grand lodge drew $11,052. He commends the deputies for not handing in exorbitant expense accounts fend asks that the grand treasurer be given more executive power, suggesting a system of checking expenditures. There has been much comment regarding a woman in Bailard, Wash., securing the secrets of the Elks services by spy ing through the windows. Exalted Ruler Fanning said she seemed to have an extravagant desire or notoriety. This woman was familiar with some of the Elks' ceremonies, but the newspa pers had greatly exaggerated the case and the investigation showed that her knowledge was not sufficient for con cern and the Ballard lodge was exon erated. Judge O'Brien, new grand exalted ruler, in an interview stated there was nothing in the sensational rumors about extravagance on the part of the past grand officers or members of com mittee. He said every dollar had teen accounted for by the auditing com mittee: that the discrepancies were due to the incompleteness of the records of the grand secretary and to lack of de tails in the annual report. UP to adjournment the following offi cers had been elected:. Grand esteemed royal knight F. C. Tomlinson, Winston, N. C. Grand esteemed lecturing knight Charles W. Kauffman, Hoboken, N. J. Grand tiler W. W. McClellan, Pitts burg, Pa. Grand treasurer J. K. Tener, Charlerol. Pa. Grand esteemed leading knight R, J. Woods. Sioux Falls. S. D. Grand trustee B. F. MeNulty, Antonio, Texas. San DRAGGING ALONG. Missouri Democrat Convention Still TVaitingon Credentials Committee. Jefferson City, Mo., July 20. Prlong ed investigations by the committee on credentials caused 3 cessation in the deliberations of the state Democratic convention today. After being in ses sion nearly all night the committee re convened after a recess of a few hours and took up the contests in St. Louis county. It was only after considerable delay that the convention was called to order and the announcement was made that the committee on credentials will be in session probably for the greater part of the day. The principal contest is from St. Louis county and involves the delegates favorable to Harry P. Dawes, who is a candidate for gover nor. While the convention w-aited At torney General Crow made a speech during which he brought forth prolong ed cheering by referring to County At torney Joseph W. Folk as standing second only to, .the "greatest of Ameri can statesman, William J. Bryan." The friends of Samuel B.

Allied Trades Head y to Strike in Sympathy With. Batchers. Chicago, July 20. Prices of meat in down town restaurants bills of fare have been raised 10 per cent or more a3 a result of the stock yards strike. The action was taken at the instance of the Hotelkeepers' association. It was for the packers to say today whether they would hold another con ference with representatives of organ ized labor relative to the strike of the txiteher workmen. The request for such a meeting was submitted last night to the owners of the packing plants by the union leaders of Chi cago. The employers were to decide this morning what reply to make. The labor proposition -emanated not from the butchers, but, from a com mittee representing- many affected trades, including teamsters. It con sisted of a letter sent in duplicate to" the union on strike and to the packers. in wmch each party to the struggle was requested to "participate in a joint meeting of employers and all trades interested. The butchers promptly answered that they were ready to go into tne conference.. Pending the outcome of this attempt to reopen negotiations, the men in the mechanical departments and the team sters and stationary firemen at the packing houses will remain at work. Assurances that they would go out in a sympathetic strike as a last resort were renewed Jo President Donnelly of the butchers. Donnelly continued to advise agains tthe extension of the struggle until it seemed necessary. At Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., July 20. Packers today assetred that they were making steady progress, constantly adding new men to their forces and Increas ing the output daily. There is no question that the output at the various plants has been increased in the past 24 hours. In that time nevertheless the strike leaders say that nearly 200 men have been persuaded to leave their jobs and join the union. A re porter who was taken through the Armour plant found a force of about 2,000 at work. At "the other' plants smaller forces arr at' work. At the Cudahy plant a number of cots have been taken in for the use of the strike breakers. A sublabor headquarters has been closed by the police, because it was located over a saloon. There has been no demonstration. Strikers Enjoined. Omaha, Neb., July 20. Judge" Mun- ger in the United States court today issued an injunction against tne striK- ing packing house employes, restrain ing them from "picketing" the pack ing house district. The injunction was granted on petition of the packing house managers. Beef Prices Drop. Boston, July 20. A slight drop in the price or beet was announced today. A further cut is expected as meat is be ginning to accumulate here. The resumption of slaughtering at the Brighton abattoirs has helped to furnish an over-supply and dressed beef is now being sent from here to Chi cago. More than 100 men, most of them slaughterers have gone from this city to Chicago to take the places of strik ing workmen under promise of per manent work with wages of at least 50 cents an hour. Blockade Raised. St. Paul .July 20. Conforming with instructions received by President Wil lis of the South St. Paul Butchers' union from President Donnelly of Chi cago, the officers of the local union raised the strike blockade at the Swift packing plant in South St. Paul today. It is estimated that the plant Is working up to about 20 per cent of its capacity. STRIKE BREAKERS STRIKE. After Being Out 15 Minutes Their Demands Are Granted. Chicago, July 20. Representatives of all the big packing houses in the stock yards met today to consider the appeal made by the striking butchers and to arrange for a joint conference which it was expected probably would be held later in the day. "It is impossible for the wisest man to say when this strike will end," said President Michael Donnelly, Just be fore the packers went into confer ence. "Our terms are unalterable; the packers have made no concessions. We are prepared to carry on a long war. Every striker and his family will be taken care of. "I expect to meet this afternoon the general committee of the various trades who met yesterday." A strika of "strike breakers' has resulted in an increase of wages to the non-union men employed to take the place of former employes In the pack ing houses. Three hundred and fifty laborers struck for more wages. They had been getting $3 a day. After a fifteen minute strike wages were in creased to $4 and $5 a day. It is reported that an agent of the United States government has arrived in Chicago to make an investigation of the strike. Complaint has neen made, it is said, by western farmers and raisers of cattle that the packers are violating a federal injunction in making special rates to large shippers. The 2 50 blacksmiths employed at the yards have submitted to the vari ous packers a demand of their own. The men met today and voted to de mand an increased wage scale. A re ply of the packers is expected this afternoon. Boston Millionaire Disappears. New York. July 20. Henry Tudor, a Boston millionaire, is -reported to have disappeared from his hotel here and no trace of his whereabouts has been found. Mr. Tudor Is 53 years of ae. Three years ago his relatives bad a. guardian appointed. 1 Openly Suggested That Russia's Action Was Premeditated. French Officials Beliere the Czar Will Back Down. St. Petersburg, July 20. 6:30 p. m. Sir Charles Hardinge, the British am bassador to Russia, this afternoon in behalf of his government, presented a strong protest to Russia against the seizure in the Red sea and detention of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Malacca, which was carrying three hundred tons of British, government stores for the naval establishment at Hong Kong, each case of which was marked with the broad arrow, which is the government stamp. The ambassador also presented a general protest against the action of the Russian volunteer fleet steamers in the Red sea. Russia seems prepared for any rep resentations Great Britain may make on the subject of stopping ships in the Red sea. It is understood that before sending the cruisers there the Russian authorities became satisfied through an elaborate system of espionage that an Immense amount of contraband was going from England through the Red sea to Japan and they decided to stop the traffic. It is understood that if this traffic is now diverted to the cape route the Russian admiralty is prepared to send ships to the Cape of Good Hope. If Great Britain objects to the pas sage of the Dardanelles by more vessels of the volunteer fleet the ships intended for cruising off the cape may be sent from the Baltic. In this connection very important de velopments are believed to. be immi nent. British Mind Inflamed. London, July 20. The further details received from Port Said today descnb ing the situation on board the steamer Malacca, fail to give any reason for the seizure and only serve to inflame the British feeling. The officials of the company reiterate their denial that the Malacca was carrying contraband of war and reassert that the explosives on board were British government stores, consigned to the naval commander at Hong Kong. In official circles apprehension is felt at the increasing excitement in the country. There is no likelihood, how ever, of any precipitate action. It is officially pointed out that the very full est information must be obtained be fore the government decides on its course. In the meantime and until there Js direct and explicit evidence of a con travention of neutrality by the Malac ca and the assumption by the Russian government of full responsibility for the action of the commanders of the Smolensk and St. Petersburg, the Brit ish government, it is explained, can onlv ask explanations of the Russian foreign office regarding the nature of the charges against the seized vessel. Subsequent action rfecessarily will de- Dena on Russia s reply tnereto. The talk of policing tne ted sea Dy British warships meets with no support in official quarters where Jt is pointea out that the commander of a warship would have to satisfy himself that a merchant ship desiring convoy was not contravening the neutrality regulations. If the commander was satisfied in this respect there would be no necessity for protecting the ship, it ne aia not re ceive satisfactory assurances he would have no right to convoy the vessel. The editorials continue to be heated and it is openly suggested that Rus sia's action was premeditated. Believed Russia Will Back Down. Paris, July 30. Information reaching government quarters here leads the of ficials to believe that Russia will re lease the British and German mer chantmen seized in the Red sea as a means of averting international com plications. WARLIKE TONE. Is Taken on by the Newspapers of the British Capital. London, July 20. Once again the leading English newspapers editorial ize in the gravest tones on the Rus sian seizure of British vessels. Even the conservative Standard declares that "the nation looks to the foreign office to take more effectual action than the ordinary conventions of dip lomatic intercourse prescribes. The case is not one for fastidious treat ment. If nothing is done officially to relieve the painful strain, the irrita tion of this country may grow into stubborn resentment. We can not, even for the sake of peace, sit down under a series of undisguisedly provo cative measures." A. similar warlike" tone pervades almost every other paper. The Morn ing Post says Great tintain can not tolerate the seizure of the steamship Malacca, "except by the abandonment of her self-respect as a great power." The paper declares that either tne volunteer fleet steamer St. Petersburg is an armed pirate or Russia has vio lated the treaty of Paris. Tne action of Earl Percy, under-secretary of for eign affairs, who in the house of com mons Monaay asKea lienerai iaune, Conservative and Unionist, to post pone until Thursday a question which he proposea to asK regarding tne do ings of the Russian volunteer fleet steamer St. Petersburg in the Red sea, the paper regards as unnecessary and dilatory. "Palmerston," says the Post, signmcantly, would not have required half an hour to make up his mind what to do with such a case. The Daily Telegraph, though speak ing with reserve and counseling the nation to repose full confidence in Lord Lansdowne, admits that "dan gerous issues to internationallaw have been raised with every circumstance of ostentatious provocation, and the nation must realize that a far-reaching question has arisen." All details in connection with the seizures of ship by the Russian vol unteer fleet steamers are printed in the most prominent type. No such '(Continued on Page Six.) After Congregation Hears Him Call Will Be Hade. Declined Offer of 4,000 a Year from St. Louis. Dr. F. S. Estey, now in charge of the First Presbyterian church of Salina, will probably be the next pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city. A committee appointed from the local church for that purpose, has recom mended his selection at a salary of $2, 700 a year. He will preach in this city on next Sunday and some time the lat ter part of next week a congregational meeting will be held to formally decide upon offering him the place. If Dr. Estey will accept the pulpit, he will without much question be chosen. Recently he turned down an offer of $4,000 a year at St. Louis and at the present time has another offer pending from Washington, D. C. He however, likes the west, and prefers to remain here, and for that reason the Topeka Presbyterians hope to secure him. The committee which recommended his selection was as follows: Mrs. Jonathan Thomas, Mrs. T. J. Garver, Dr. and Mrs. C. F. Menninger, Miss Mary Walker, Mr. George Whltcomb, Dr. A. L. Thompson, Mr. N. H. Loomis, Mr. Richard Glasgow and Mr. T. M. McPhlllamy. vThe pulpit of the Presbyterian church iri this city has been vacant since May 1, when Dr. J. D. Countermine resign ed. His salary was $2,000 a year. Ser vices have been held regularly by visit ing ministers from other cltie. Dr. Estey is 40 years of age and is spoken of as one of the best preachers in the middle west. He has been at Salina for four years, going there from Independence, Kan. He is married and has a wife and one daughter. CARRY WITH A RUSH. Topeka-Councll Grove Bond Election Almost Unanimous. Eskridge, Kan., July 20.

Seems to Be Headed for jEmsi Coast of Japan. May Intend a Junction With th Port Arthur FleeU Tokio, July 20. Noon The Vladi vostok squadron has overhauled Japanese vessel eastward of Tsugar Straits. The name of the vessel cap tured and her fate has not yet been learned. The Russian Vladivostok squadron. unaccompanied by torpedo boats, e.v tered the Pacific ocean today at 7 o'clock. Its destination is unknown, but it is suggested that it possibly plans to raid the east coast of Japan and then either return to Vladivostok, escaping to the southward or attempt ing to form a Junction with the Port Arthur fleet. The squadron was dis covered in the Straits of Tsugar at S o'clock this morning steaming east ward. At 3:30 a. m. it was reported oft Tappi cape and at 7 a, m. observers at Hakkodate discerned it and reported to Tokio that it was then steaming to t"n east. Warnings have gone out to shipping1 along the eastern coast of Japan ani merchantmen are hurriedly seeking cover. It is said that most of the ship ping will be warned before the Rus sian vessels can inflict serious dam- ape, if a raid is purposed. Ordinarily a lack of coal would pie vent an extended cruise, but it is pos sible that the Russians possess a col lier at a rendezvous in the Facifta ocean. Count Keller's Kepulse. Ta Tche Klau, July 20. Details of the repulse of Lieut. Gen. Count Kel ler's attack on the Japanese at Ma Tien pass last Sunday which have just arrived show that it was a demonstra tion in force to ascertain the strength, of the enemy, and plainly developed their numerical superiority. It Is evi dent that the Japanese are drawing off troops from the Russian southern front, reinforcing their positions to the east. he Japanese display marvelous power of concentration at the right time and place. The Mo .Tien pass engagement strengthens a conviction here that the moment for a general advance by the enemy has not yet arrived. Reports that the Japroiese are about to land troops at Lin Klou are current, but not believed. German Ship Seized. London, July 20. The Suez corre spondent of the Dally Mall July 19 says "The German steamer Sambla, It is stated, has been seized by the Rus sians and is expected here tomorrow." Cruiser Passes Dardanelles. London, July 20. The Conntantf nople correspondent of the Dally Mail in a dispatch dated July 18 says: "A Russian cruiser has Just passed through Odessa with several guns cov ered with canvas on her deck. She also carried torpedo tubes." Oku. Keceives Reinforcements. London, July 20. The Daily Chron icle this morning prints a dispatch, from its Tlnkwo correspondent under date of July 19, saying that the rein forcements for which General Oku hag been waiting are now being disem barked under the protection of seven Japanese cruisers. A fresh landing of troops, the dispatch says, is also be ing effected to the north of Port Ar thur and important events may b looked for this week. Snlpins 'or Japanese. Ta Tche Kiao, Tuesday. July It (delayed in transmission). All ia quiet in this region. Neither side Is moving. The only activity is at tn outposts. The Russian sharpshooters are having good practice sniping the Japanese from the mountain sides. Small detachments creep out at night, steal up to the Japanese pickets In the darkness, hide themselves in tree tops and there await sunrise. As soon as the light is sufficiently strong they get fine shots before the Japanese pickets can get away. Captured Vessel Released. Tokio, July 20. 6 p. m. The steamer overhauled by the Russian Vladivostok squadron was the Takashima. She ar rived at Mororran at noon today and reports that she left the Russian ves sels steaming to the southeast at great speed. This course creates the im pression here that they are heading for Saigon, the capital of French Indo China, although It Is possible that thi course Is a ruse to deceive the Jap anese. Russians Sink a Ship. Chefoo, July 20, 1 p. m. Junks with Chinese on board have come In he're from Liao Tie Shan promontory. The men report that on Saturday morning, July 16, at 8 o'clock, the Port Arthur forts fired on a passing ship. These shots were not effective and the vessel did not stop.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GAm sisbt' Where they play. Thursday; Leavenworth at Topeka. Sedalia at: Fort Scott Springfield at- Ozark. (Exhibition game.) The rearrangement of the schedule So as to give Topeka Sunday games was nothing else than a transfer of Sunday dates. The Saints- were origin ally listed to play at Leavenworth on July24, at Pittsburg on July 31, at Iola on August 7, at Sedalia on August 28 and at Fort' Scott on September-4. The managers of these different clubs all agreed to come to Topeka on those days Instead of playing in their home towns.7 No difficulty was found in making the exchange with the ex ception of Leavenworth. Secretary Lindsey, who attended the Kansas City meeting as the representative of the Orioles, asked for a guarantee of $150 if he gave this city next Sunday, the initial game in the new park, and also that the Topeka management receive only $25 as its share of the receipts at the next Tuesday's game between Topeka and Leavenworth at the Sol diers' home. After making the qual ifying conditions that in case of rain in-Topeka, or in case the constitution al 'five innings were not played, Leav enworth should receive'only the-rgu-lar guarantee of. $25, Secretary Login, who represented Topeka, signed the contract. Sedalia presented a letter through Joe Roe stating that it would give Topeka any Sunday date it de sires which could be arranged to the convenience of both. President Tho len of Iola not only willingly gave a Sunday, but asked for the first one. As it was he gave Topeka two extra week dav erames besides Sunday. Au gust 7. ToDeka was scheduled for the Gaslighters' town on August- 5, 6, and 7. President Tholen thought that he would like to come here and play all three, especially so because he also had the next three dates in Topeka. That will make six straight contests between the Gaslighters and Saints in Topeka. Fort Scott and Pittsburg readily transferred their dates without a qualifying clause. President Shiveley Is about ready to write the sixth chapter of his book, en titled "Troubles With My umpires." Two new Indicator men have taken positions behind the Valley pitchers. They are Collins, who officiated part of the. time last year and was laid off occasionally for indisposition, accord ing to Shiveley, and Cuzick, a new man from Chicago. Collins is considered one of the best in the business, if he takes care of himself. Cuzick is a bosom friend of Owens and a much bigger and brawnier fellow. He has a voice which sounds- like a rosined scantling drawn across a dry goods box. These two new men have taken the places of Regan and Shanks, the former quitting and the latter having been asked to leave. "I suppose Regan simply lost his nerve," said sniveiey. l aon i Know any other reason. I told him he was a fool for quitting, so he promised that he would come back, perhaps, if I needed him again." Snanks got his walking papers after the game in To peka with Springfield on Friday of last week: He was so bad that the crowd hooted him from the field. After the agony he wrote this letter to Pres ident Shiveley: "Dear Sir: When a crowd of d- hoodlums stone you af ter a game, in my opinion It's about time to quit working in a ity of that kind, such was the affairs after today's game. Never was in a nicer or cleaner game, free from any kicking of any kind, but there is a gang that attends these games and they all sit on the bleechers that are something fierce, and no protection out there today, whatever, so in the future cancel my dates in this city for I will not work here again this season. I see now where Owens was right by doing the same thing." Upon the receipt .of this letter and noticing the roars which the Topeka papers sent up against him. President Shiveley at once ''cancelied" all of Shanks' dates and sent him out into the cold, cold world without a job. That was better than paying a funeral, bill, anyway. Most of the towns are calling for Um pire Owens. Shorty Hulburt don't want him anymore. "He is too familiar with my players when in my town," said Shorty to President Shiveley on Tues day. "Take him away." Shiveley transferred the big "pug." Both Owens' head and salary have been inflated late ly. -To the former almost every man ager assents with wonderful vigor. But the big fellow Is good. Alberts has bad but one bad time this year. That was last Saturday at Sedalia when he was badly off. On Monday he only umpired the first game of the double-header. The afternoon was intensely hot and Alberts became very ill Just as the sec ond game was about to start. It was feared that he had suffered sun-stroke, but recovered rapidly. He will umpire here next Sunday at the opening rame at the new park. Sedalia now wants to trade Stoner for Schrant. The former is badly dis satisfied with the Goldbugs and wants to get away. Last year he played first MI SKIFJ DISEASES The Outcropping of Bad Blood; the svsUm tu j .".ciuo .vy Luavr uul ziiiu lijc aceumnlatwi u reinforce ana tone up the general system, and carry off the bodily impurities through the proper channels.'

The lat--ter says that his work is irregular, because of his temperament and not his ability. If that Is the case Topeka don't want him. While he is a crack ball player and a good sticker, all the "bad actors" have been weeded out of the Saints and no more should be brought in: Stoner Just finished play ing the Sedalia bench with a $10 fine on his head for "sulking." Shorty Hurlburt of Springfield Is looking for a shortstop. He wants to put Nig Perlne on second. Jimmy. Crouch of Eureka, a coming semi-professional, will probably be given a chance. President Shiveley has taken steps to negotiate a series of five games at the close of the season between the pennant winner of the Valley league and the Kansas City Blues, now near the tail end of the American associa tion. It is planned to play two games -in Kansas City, two at the home town of the bunting winners, and one at a neutral place, possibly Topeka. After the meeting on Tuesday, all of the -managers went to the league park to see the Louisville Colonels -and Gear-'. ites. Neither side burned up the atr.; mosphere with red hot work, audi either Joplin or Iola should be able to make George Tebeau's "Kansas City Spirits" hustle to keep up with the procession. After sitting like a Jury on the game, which the Blues lost as usual, the consensus of opinion among the brush magnates was about as fol lows: "They can't throw any better, make just as many errors, are not a bit faster, but hit harder than we do."

We feel that It is necessary to win this struggle, and we are going to do it if it takes years. We do not even en tertain the idea that we can lose.

A well known railroad contractor who makes Topeka his headquarter. part of the time and who aoes a. h railroads of a eai 01 wui& Kansas, said a few days ago to "RallToad work, which has been dead as a door nail out west ror some time, again.

They keep throwing men out of work back there, and that is liable to make things rath er slow here with us If It keeps on." BLOW AIMED AT CNION. Union and Strike Sympathizers to Be Released, San Bernardino, July 15. "We're San Bernardino, July 20. "We're pathizer with the strikers, and your services are not further needed by this company." With those brief words, and with no chance to either deny or affirm the charge, J. F. Blanchard, who for six teen years has been head upholsterer at the Santa Fe shops, was fired yes terday. It was a sudden and Inglo rious way in which to terminate a long career of faithful service, but the upholsterer never uttered a word of reproach or defiance, but gathered up his tools and left the place. The incident took place in the office of the foreman of the coach depart ment, that official merely carrying out the order which had come from Los Angeles through the office of the di vision master mechanic. The incident in itself is important as confirming a rumor which has been persistent dur ing the past week that wholesale dis charges will be made, based squarely on the union problem. The upholsterers are said to be un organized, but the coach carpenters have a union, and it is understood that some of the leaders are slated for discharge. CONFERENCE INTIMATED. Said the Striking Machinists Would Confer With Mr. Kendrlck. Arthur E. Ireland, the general or ganizer of the American Federation of Labor, who is In Topeka in connec tion with the machinists' strike on the Santa Fe, intimated to a reporter for the State Journal that a conference would be held between Vice-President Kendrlck of the Santa Fe and rep resentatives of the machinists' union at some time in the near future. This opinion is evidently held by other of the strike leaders, although It is not stated from whom the overtures will come. The Santa Fe officials declare they are done with the strikers and they are going about their business as though there was no such thing as a striking machinist. The San Bernardino Sun says: "There is an apparently well found ed rumor out that there is to be a conference in the near future between the strike leaders and Vice President Kendrick of the Santa Fe. Being asked regarding this. Secretary Smith was reticent and would give no defi nite information. However, the con clusion was reached from his remarks that negotiations were under way for such a conference and that it was to be a thing of the very near future "However, Smith says the machin ist are not hurrying matters, as they believe the time is not yet ripe for a settlement, but that it will come soon and In a way that will be favorable to the strikers. "As to the possibility of the boiler makers being called out all over the Santa Fe system. Smith absolutely re fused to be quoted. The national con vention is expected to take some ac tion in the matter at Chattanooga. However, from rumors afloat, it is believed that the machinists and other trades have some cards up their sleeve that have not yet been played, but which may be expected to come out very soon. These may put a different light on strike matters. "Returning to the subject of the Denver convention, Secretary Smith said: "It is especially encouraging to me that the western men take the in terest they do. It was really much more than I expected. The railroad la putting up the best fight possible scribed by E. H. Harrtiniu, president of the road: "Large expenditures have been made in rfcent years, as stated In the an nua", reports, for betterment and ad ditions to existing lines. nw equip ment, new steamships, real estate and othci property, the construction of wnarres, docks. cieaxora ana other improvements at Galvestou. the con struction and advances on account of construction of additional lines, and for other corporate purposes; and, as shown by such reports, these expen ditures were met chiefly from earnings and loans. In order to provide capi tal necessary to discharge all float ing debt and for all additions and betterments authorized and contem plated during the next years and for other corporate purposes, the issuance of 40,000,000 at this time is- deemed expedient. "The proceeas rrom the sale of this stock. In addition to prviding for the needs above mentioned, will enable the company to refund bonded obliga tions maturing during the next three years, amounting to over S6o.000.000 on a much more favorable basis of credit, and leave over 30,000,000 of free and negotiable assets in the treasury.

DID SUFFERED FOR SIX YEARS Adam Bowman Permanently Cured Last Fall and That Without the Use of a Drop of Medicine. Adam Bowman, a farmer living five miles south of Brookville, Saline county, Kansas, gave the following statement for publication in the Sa lina Daily Union on November 5, 1903: "For six years I have suffered, with sciatic rheumatism, twice being bed fast with it during that time. I re-covered partly from the first attack, but that dull, aching pain in the small of my back, which extended down through the muscles of my legs to my feet, never left me. Three weeks ago I was taken down for the second time and lay helpless in bed. The doctors gave me morphine to deaden the terrible pain and finally I dragged myself to Sallna to consult Prof. J. Austin Larson. Now at the end of six or seven treatments I am free from all pain and can do a hard day's work without that awful ache coming on in my back." Statement In January," 1904. In reply to a letter from the Beloit Dally Call making inquiries with re gard to Prof. Larson's work In Sa llna, Adam Bowman wrote as follows on January 20, 1904: "I took treatment for sciatic rheu matism. I think Prof. Larson's work In Sallna was successful from the num ber he has cured. He appears to be a perfect gentleman, and as far as healing is concerned, he has done wonders In Sallna.. I commenced tak ing treatment on October 19, 1903, and haven't had any return of the rheumatism since, and I feel like a new man." Statement in May, 1904. On May 20, 1904, Adam Bowman voluntarily gave the following state ment to Mr. W. E. Cundiff, staff re porter on the Topeka Daily Capital: "I am undoubtedly cured of sciatic rheumatism which had bothered me for eight years. When Prof. Larson was in Salina last September I was confined to my bed. I told my wife that as soon as I was able I was going to see him. I commenced treat ments, and from the first got better. After I took ten treatments, for there was no use in my taking any more, I was cured. Since that time I lost con trol of my horses and was thrown to the ground, sustaining a broken rib and bruises. I was afraid the re sult would be a return of the old trouble, but it did not come, and I am as sound and well as anybody. That man Is a wonder." s-sC-PROF. J.A(3TM LARSON 7 Prof. J. Austin Larson, of whom the above is a characteristic picture, is a man of the people, who has sprung into prominence within the de cade past, forced there by those who know his power. Gentle in action, sympathetic in nature, generous to a fault, he is the embodiment of health, strength and power. His biography is encompassed in the single word, "Success!" Past success, however, does- not always mean present success. Prof. Larson's past success is due to his natural power, combined with the knowledge of where and how to apply that power. His present success Is due to the foregoing and to the fact that an enormous business has not caused liim to neglect his patients or his work. He gives each patient the necessary number of personal treatments to accomplish the desired re sult and each treatment is of sufficient length to reach and eradicate chronic causes of long standing. He would as soon trifle with dynamite as to trifle with his great power and pervert it to dishonest purposes. Hon esty In predicting probable results, refusal to turn from the methods by which he has secured success, and care to give patients personal attention, are characteristics of him. In his early career, while president of the Columbian Institute of Magnetic Healing and Suggestive Therapeutics at tlalesburg. 111., Prof. Larson tried to teach others to become healers. Several hundred stu dents took courses under him in anatomy, physiology and manipulation. One by one he sent forth his graduates to heal the sick and one by one they came back with the word, "Failure" stamped across their careers. Persistent in the belief that lie could make healers by education, he took them back and gave them additional instruction, and sent them out only to fail again and return, mayhap, to the desk, the counter or the plow. Then it was that he realized that there was something he could not im part to his students, and that "something," call it what you will, is the se cret of his success. His experience is but a repetition of the experience of other great healers both before and since. What have become of the graduates that they have turned out? Standing out like a tower of strength among his students, however, there was one possessed of a power equal to his own. For seven years, as student, companion and assistant, that man, Prof. W. F. Wells, has helped his Instructor to climb the ladder of success.

Prof. Larson is called by his patients, a Natural Magnetic Healer. In the treatment of disease, he uses no drngs. no surgical instruments, no electrical batteries, simply his two broad palms through which flow the vitalizing force of liis own great power. Prof. Larson's business manager is Mr. L. C. Housel, a former news paper man of Salina, Kansas. His boast is that he uses no endorse ment from a patient without authority and offers One Hundred Dollars in Gold for proof that he has violated that rule in this paper. BEDFAST FOB MONTHS Medicines Failed to Restore Salina Woman to Health. STORY OF MARVELOUS CUE Statement of Mrs. D. B. Carpenter on Her Complete Restoration to Health, Given in November. Mrs. D. B. Carpenter of 222 North' Santa Fe avenue, Salina, Kansas, in November, 1903, voluntarily gave the following statement to a. reporter for the Salina Daily Union for publication: "For several years I have been af flicted with stomach and heart trou ble, extreme nervousness and consti pation. There was no color in my face and seemingly no blood in my body. When Prof. Larson began treat ing me I had been bedfast several months. Now I am able to be up all day, attend to my regular housework and go out doors or up town at will. My strength has returned and the col or has come back to my face and I feel deeply grateful to Prof. Larson." Statement in January, 1904. On January 20, 1904, in response to a letter from the Beloit Daily Call, Mrs. D. B. Carpenter wrote: "In answer to your letter of the 16th regarding Prof. Larson's work in Salina, will say his work here has been successful and good so many people cured in so short a time. His treatments are all right. I took treat ment for heart trouble, stomach trou ble, extreme nervousness, constipa tion and a soreness in my right side which caused me great pain in the past three years, all of which are well now. The results I obtained are per manent so far. Prof. Larson is a perfect gentleman and an honest man. You can believe what he says and he is certainly a great healer.

Cundiff, staff re porter on the Topeka Dally Capital, who had been sent out by his paper to Investigate the work of Prof. Lar son throughout central Kansas, the results of which investigation were published in the Sunday Capital of May 22, 1904: 'I was Just absolutely of no ac count, and for three years suffered greatly with pains in the side, heart trouble, pains in the eyes and consti pation; I'll tell you I was In a ter rible fix, but now," and Mrs. Carpen ter laughed heartily Just as a matter of emphasis, 'I haven't a pain in my body and am Just feeling fine.'

Frisco Pays Off Short Loan. By the sale of $1,268,000 refund ing 4 per cent bonds the Frisco has paid off the $1,250,000 of notes falling due September, 1904, incurred in the purchase of the Oklahoma City and Western. The bonds formed the col lateral for the notes, whieh could be taken up September 1 or earlier. The note was the second installment, the first $1,250,000 having fallen due in March and been paid off. also bv the sale of the collateral. When the Oklahoma City stocks and bonds were bought, the Frisco was authorized to issue refunding bonds to cover the purchase. The bonds were not sold, but money was raised on them by means of these notes. The notes are about the first of the short-term ob ligations to be paid off by any big railroad, and the method is probably significant of the means that will be used by other .companies as their notes come due.

Judge Parker thought he saw a chance to be both right and president. The strike microbe appears to be more active in summer than In winter. General Funston's new position is irt to be the softest place in the service. When Gen. Funston reaches New York he may show Judge Parker a thing; or two about swimming-. Grand Rapids is agitating- for a pure water supply. What Grand Rapids needs first Is a supply of pure al dermen. It would save much worry and bother if the presidential race could be decided by a swimming- match be tween the rival candidates. Gen. Kuropatkin seems determined to emerge from the -war as the man who was never whipped, even if he must run all the way to St. Petersburg. Edward W.

Buffalo Ex press. Anybody can see where the Express man expects to go when he dies. At last It looks as though Topeka were about to be placed on the main line of the Union Pacific where she should have been from the beginning. Since the road was built the capital of Kansas has been only a way sta tlon. She seems to be about to come In for that amount of consideration which her size and location warrant in 1898. They come chiefly from Cen tral America, Cuba, and the British West Indies. Good crop prospects are already ex ertlng a stimulating effect upon busi ness, says Henry Clew's Financial Review, and distributors in the West and South are looking forward to a satisfactory fall trade. Having pur sued an exceptionally conservative pol icy during the past twelve months, they enter the season In good finan cial condition, with no heavy stocks of merchandise carried over. Even In the east, where depression has been keenest, there is a more hopeful feel ing. This is most noticeable In the iron trade, which has just emerged from six months of stringent curtail ment in all sorts of iron and steel products. As a result, producers now show more confidence, and the feeling grows that prices have finally touched rock bottom. As soon as this fact becomes recognized among consum era, orders that have been long held back will come In and recovery must become more apparent than It now is. There is already a feeling that a turn for the better has taken place in the Iron trade, and the indications are that this feeling- will extend. Rail road earnings and bank clearings are also making more satisfactory rec ords. inasmuch as they show fewer declines and more gains than during the first six months of the current year.

KEEP WELLS HEALTHY Purpose Is to Prevent Pollution of Water. Cesspools May Be Abated by the Board. Only six railroad companies went Into the hands of receivers in the first six months of this year and none of them was an important line. Their total mileage was 302 and capitaliza tion. J10.514.300. According to the Railway Age, business depression was in no sense responsible for the re ceiverships, each road having inher ent difficulties which could not be overcome. In 1892 it was predicted confidently by nonpartisan observers, as early as July 1, that Mr. Cleveland would be elected to the presidency and the states which he would carry were named, including Illinois, Wisconsin and California. The forecast was based on the action and interests of certain persons in New Tork. The prediction was fully justified by the results. Perhaps the hopes of Judge Parker's supporters are resting on a similar basis. Philadelphia Record: There is no reason why the beef pack ers should raise their prices. The quarrel between them and their men gives them no right to make an inor dinate profit out o fthe public. The strike does not Increase the cost of cattle; by interfering with the meat business it is far more Hkely to re duce it. It is entirely possible that the packers will buy cheaper and sell dearer on account of the strike, and be comparatively indifferent during the next two or three weeks whether the strike be settled. The imports of fruits and nuts have changed but little In total value, but in character there has been a material change during the last decade. Or anges, of which the total importations amounted to over 2H million dollars in 1893, will amount in 1904 to but little over a half million dollars in value of imports. Lemons, which amounted to over 5 million dollars In 1895; will amount to a little over 3 million dollars value in the impor tations of 1904. The bulk of the lemons come from Italy, and of or anges, chiefly from the British West Indies. Bananas form by far the larg est single item in the importations of fruits and nuts, and will aggregate OTef 7 million dollars in the fiscal ya.r 1904, against 4 million dollars. GLOBE SIGHTS.

Found Serviceable in Pumping Out a Shut Hole. Fire Marshal Wilmarth sent the No. 1 steamer over to North Topeka this morning to pump water out of the sewer ditch at the north part of Jack son street .which Street Commissioner snyner is trying to fix. The sewer has sunk into the oulck- sand and thus allowed the surface of tne ground to cave in. For a distance of 20 feet, Mr. Snyder is trying to dig down to the sunken sewer. He got down almost to the sewer when the quicksand rushed in under his crib bing, and stopped the work. He then drove inch planks down into the quicksand to form sort of a coffer dam. Meantime the water kept com ing into the ditch so fast that this morning the ditch was about full. He had to have the assistance of the fire steamer to get it out. The water is clear, and it Is thought will not injure the engine. There seems to be a big bed of very soft quicksand underneath all that part of North Topeka. It is thorough ly saturated with water, and flows around almost .as freely as water would. It may be necessary to exca vate a long stretch of this sunken I For. the purpose of preventing the pollution of the well water used in To peka, the board of health has decided to present to th councM a new or dinance requiring that all new vaults constructed in the city must be of brick cemented up water tight. This ordi nance is now in preparation, and will be presented to the council probably at its next meeting. An ordinance of this kind will apply with special force to those portions of the city which have no sewer facilities, and which are therefore obliged to de pend on vaults for sanitary purposes. As originally talked of, the proposed ordinance was much- more sweeping than finally agreed upon. It was sug gested at the outset that the ordinance be drawn so that every vault in the city, whether old or new, must come under the terms of the ordinance, and be built of brick and cement. In this form, the ordinance would have creat ed a tremendous lot of opposition and it was decided that the most practical plan would be to limit its effect to new construction. Some of the Second ward people who were friendly to the sewer system were in favor of having the law made mandatory for every vault owner not connected with the sewer. They thought that it would serve as a lesson to the opponents of the Second ward sewer, by causing them to expend al most as much, in the construction of a sanitary vault as it would cost for sewer tax. The Second ward is to a large extent composed of sandy soil, through which the drainage from vaults percolates freely, and there is no doubt serious danger that this seepage may contaminate the water supply in wells, which are mostly shallow. This system of water-tight vault con struction will not only be rather ex pensive at its first cost, but it will probably entail considerable extra ex pense in the matter of cleaning vaults. As most vaults are now constructed great deal of the unsanitary matter soaks into the soil and disappears, but if the vault were water tight, it would necessarily have to be cleaned more frequently, and the garbage company would harvest in a good many more shekels at the rate of 40 cents a barrel for the work which is done. On account of this considerable addl tional expense, there may be some op positon to the proposed new law. So far as has been ascertained from sta tistics prepared by the board of health from the official records, there is very little, if any, more prevalence of con tagious fevers in the unsewered por tlons of the city than m those parts which are sewered. The Second ward water supply has often been under sus picion, but no thorough investigation by chemists or bacteriologists has ever been made which served to show that it was generally contaminated by sew age. It ought to be an easy matter to determine by water analysis whether the suspected water contains too large a proportion of organic matter to be safe. Organic matter In too large quantities serves as a medium for fever germs. There are said to be a number of large cesspools In the city which are a menace to health. some or tnese cesspools are merely holes in the ground filled with rock, into which the private sewer pipes empty. They af ford a chance for the sewage to grad uallv seen away into the ground. The law gives the board of health the right to suppress all sources of possible sickness, by having tne same aeciarea a nuisance, and under this law it could doubtless take action against tne cess pools if they are found to be a source of disease. CALLS IT SMALLPOX. WATER COMPANY IN TROUBLE Big Well Snrinccs a Leak Muddy Water in Mains. The Topeka Water company is in more trouble, and as a result the water which Topeka is getting now days is about the color of muddy coffee. It is believed by the waterworks officials that the trouble is caused by a crack in the walls or the big open well, which allows the muddy rlvor water to flow into the well without obstruction. The well is still too far under water to permit a careful in vestigation to determine the truth of !his theory-' Supt. Jesse Shaw has or dered that the big well be shut off. and that water be pumped from the driven well points, but this will not heln the water supply for some time, until the muddy water gets out of the mains. We have already flushed out come of the mains, said Mr. Shaw, but we ill go right ahead with that '.vork. and t"y to keep ta water clean. I know it is very muddy, and wa are sorry for it, but we are not responsible for accidents teyona our control. I think we will find that there is a crack or crevice in the wall if the well, through which the water teens. This must have opened up very lately. because we had the well clermea out sine? the food, and were pumping good clean water from it. Then the supply suddenly became muddy." An investigation iR to be made by the water company officials as soon as the water goes down to determine, if possible, the cause of the trouble. Until then Topeka will probably have to put up with either low pressure or muddy water. A Topeka man had a runny experi ence the other night the first night that the water turned black. He came home rather late at night, and prelim- nary to going to bed stepped into the bathroom to take a cold plunge. He did not turn on the lights, but filled the tub and took his bath in the dark. The next morning as he was lying n bed trying to pluck up enough am bition to go down to breakfast, he heard a wild exclamation from his wife. She came running out of the bathroom and said: John. John, what on earth was the matter with you when you came home last night?" Why, nothing, my dear. Oh. yes. there was," she Insisted. "Just come in here and look at this water you bathed in." She probably tnougnt he had been sewer to make the needed repairs. tarred and feathered. City Physician Orders Columbus Neal Locked Up-Says He Isn't Sick. Columbus Neal, a young man who lives at 507 West First street and works for Whitaker Bros.' commission com pany, is under guard at his home, with a big "smallpox" sign on the door. Young Mr. Neal is not sick, and has been sick but one day since he was shut in by order of the city physician. The doctor has been to see him but once,.and yet, under the city physician's orders, the young man must stay under guard like a dangerous criminal for the next two weeks. Of course the city physician suppress ed ail information of this anegea case of smallpox, as he does all such mat ters. City Physician Storrs. refuses to give out information about smallpox cases. All hiB health officers are afraid to tell anything for fear'Of losing their jobs. Even the guard that City Physician Storrs stationed to enforce ms quaran tine of the "smallpox" case admits to his friends that there is nothing the matter with young Neal, and that he has not had any smallpox. It appears merely to be a case where Dr. Storrs has made a. w-ong diagnosis, and now, in order to make his work appear cor rect, he must carry out the city law and keep Neal locked up for the full 21 days o the quarantine. Evidently it was not in the plan of the city phy sician to have the affair made public, George Whitaker. for whom Colum bus Neal worked, said today: "A great nijustlce is being done to this young man. He has no more smallpox tnan you or I have, and it is my idea that the doctors have got him ana expect to make some big fees out of him. Neal is a. hard working boy, and at the time of the last high water, we had a big lot of barrels and other things down in our basement which had to be moved out. We all worked down there in the water and got wet, besides being com pletely tired out. Neal lay down in his wet clothes and-. went to sleep, instead of going home, and a day or two after he was sick. There was sort of an erup tion on his face, and below his knees where he stood in the water. He had a hard cold. That was all there was to it. They called in a doctor, who said that he had smallpox. The city phy sician was then called, and he confirm ed this diagnosis, and put the boy ,in quarantine. Neal's sickness with the eruption on his face was due simply to ovet- work and getting wet and overheated during the work in the basement. I don't believe for a minute that he has smallpox. I would be perfectly will ing for him to come right back here and go to work today, and the taen who worked here with him feel the same iway." The doctor who examined Neal first is named W. H. Harrison. He is a young man, and is not very well known in Topeka. It seems to be the testimony of two young doctors against the testimony of all the regt' of the people who know anything about the case. This is not the season of the year for smallpox. It is uncommon to have a case in midsummer, even when the disease Is very prevalent. The disease has not been prevalent for several years, which makes it very improb able that Neal's case is smallpox. The fact that Neal was not confined to his bed at all since he was taken sick, and that he has really not been sick since the first day, is pretty good evidence that the doctors,, have made a mis take, and that a' great wrong is being aone uoiumous Neai ana the whole Neal family. But of course City Physician Storrs will have his way. He has the "au thority." He is the grand mogul of his department, and he can suppress news and cover up his mistakes to his heart's content, for Mayor Bergund thal sustains him in this policy. Mayor Bergundthal has made some bad mis takes in his term of office as mayor, but one of his worst is his attempt to apologize for his city physician. CAPITAL PAYS UP. Check for $3,052.14 Turned Over to Treasurer for Overcharges. Tuesday afternoon the Daily Capital management placed in the hands of the city treasurer a check on the Bank of To peka for the sum of 13,062.14. the amount of the Capital's city printing overcharges. The check has been deposited in the bank by the city treasurer to the credit of the city s general revenue fund. It will be used up for the payment of the current running expenses. e TOPEKA, KANSAS.

Some important changes in the per sonnel of the Saints may take place In a few days if the present negotiations carry. The management feels quite confident that it will secure Bankhead, the Iola second baseman within a few days and let him take charge of the team as field manager. "Banks" wants to come here and claims that he can get his release. He informed Armstrong of the same thing, however, earlier In the season, but a few days later the whole thing was oft for unnamed rea sons. Then there is a deal on with Sedalia which would greatly strengthen the team. The plan is to exchange Liming and Schrant for Stoner and Roy Bevis, the latter having played here at the be ginning of the season, and later being traaea for schrant. The Goldbugs. feel that they have to get a better set of harmonics for their aggregation. Roy Bevis never did want to go there and threatened to do almost everything but Jump when he was sent to that town. "I can t get along with two fellows on that team," he said before going there. "anr naturally I would rather not join therfi. I'd rather play in Topeka any old (lay, anyhow." But he went. Stoner, Sedalia s catcher Is the best backstop in the league. He is a big husky fellow and swings his bat hard, hitting now at an average of .270. Last year he played with Joplin, in the cage atid on first base. President Baker did not like him and traded the big fellpw to Sedalia for Dolly Gray, now on the first station for the Miners. Stoner caught last year at an average of .967 and concluded the season at the bat with a mark of .229. This trade is now under consideration, and will be defin itely decided one way or the other be fore the close of the week. MUST KEEP HANDS OFF. Truancy Law Doesn't Prescribe the Branches to Be Taujlt. The county officials of Osborne coun ty are having trouble over the truancy law. There is a settlement of German Lutherans in the county that maintains a parochial school to which the German children are sent. The county attorney, Fred G. Shaw, writes the attorney gen eral that the parochial school is main tained seven months in the year, that both German and English are taught, but that a number of branches required in the public schools are not taught in the parochial school. He wants to know if the truant officer can do any thing about it, or if it is his duty to try to make the German children attend the public schools. Assistant Attorney General Close holds that there is nothing in the law which prescribes what branches must be taught in private or parochial schools to comply with the truancy law j and tnat any scnooi wnicn ruinns tne general purpose of the public school is doubtless all right. He thinks there is nothing in the Osborne county situa tion to warrant the truant officer in disturbing the Germans. NO N03IINATIOX FOR JUDGE. Deadlock at MePherson Is Still Un broken Today.

The 205th ballot was taken at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

My little girl has been suffering for two jeara or more from eczema, and daring that time I could not get a Bight's sleep, as her ailment ras very erere. I had tried so many remedies and spent much money, deriving no bene-, fit, I bad absolutely given op all hope of miking any care. Bat as a last re sort I tu persuaded to try a set of the Cntlcora remedies, and to ray great delight a marked change was mani fested from the first application. I pare the child a bath with Cuticura Boap, using a soft piece of muslro cloth. This I did twice a day, each tins fol lowing with the Cuticura Ointment, and at the same time gave the ltesol Tect, according to directions. One box of the Ointment and two bottles of the Kesolvent, together with the Soap, effected a permanent cure. I submit this for publication if yon desire, hop ing it will add to your success and assist so many thousands of sufferers in cor ing themselves." Mas. I. B. JONES, Addixgtoh, Isd. T. The first step in the treatment of the Chronic forms is to remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet win require frequently a thorough soaking In ordsr to penetrate the thick ened akin and Croats with which these parts are often covered. Dry care fully, and apply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at first, and where advisable spread it on pieces of soft cloth and bind in place. Take the Resolvent, pUls, or liquid, in medium doses.

The Aicnison party did not get drunk and was well behaved, and the Yankton people were unusually friendly to the visitors and handed them numerous compliments. The train which took the Atchison party into Yankton carried about two thousand people. In two sections. The Atcnison party registered without much delay, and left for home yester- aay ariernoon. in Yankton a thous and people are registered every hour. When a man gets into the line he can rent a chair for any price from a aime up. to nity cents. He can also buy a place in the line at all the way from a dollar up.

Perry Ham too ten dozen fried chickens and a thousand sandwiches on the train and sold them all. The Atchison men say Yankton is not tough, but that it is full of fake shows. Matt Noll brought back some spec! mens of wheat and other cereals grown near Yankton. A hundred pick pockets are being nejd in the Yank ton Jail. POLITICAL GOSSIP.- "I guess the gold standard is a pretty good thing after all." That is what Sam Hale of La Crosse said Tuesday afternoon when he met a bunch of state house people for the first time since the St. Louis conven tion, in which he sat as a delegate-at large from Kansas. Hale left the Republican party eight years ago on the money question. He has been contending ever since that the Republican party was all right in some ways but it was wrong on the money question and he could not therefore support it. Now that the Democrats have practically declared for the gold standard also he knew he -.vould be the subject of a lot of Jesting by his Re publican friends. "Glad to welcome you back Into the Republican ranks, Sam," said State Printer George Clark. "Oh, that's not necessary," said Mr. Hale. "You see, I can get the gold standard in the Democratic party, so there's no use in my going back to the Republicans. I have been carefully and prayerfully considering the matter since the St. Louis convention, and I have come to the conclusion that the gold standard is all right after all." C. S. Finch publishes the following- in his Lawrence Gazette: "Honestly and fairly, Mr. Democrat and Mr. Republican, what obligation are you under to vote for any man who did not receive his nomination fairly, and by a majority vote of his primary or his convention? The man who de mands your vote because of party feal ty, must first show a clear title to his nomination. There are at least two men who are going to ask for Republi can votes here this fall on the ground that they are Republican nominees, neither of whom has the slightest right or title to the office, save what he ob tained through fraud and ballot stuf fing. In order to vote for either of them, it is necessary to endorse the methods by which they received their nominations. You have a guess com ing as to the nominees, and one guess only. No man can fail to guess them the first time." Ottawa Herald: The Kansas City Journal has a story from Topeka say ing that the state board would be able to lower this year's tax levy, cmpared to last year's !evy, lietause this year's appropriations call for only two million dollars, while last ye-u-'s called for two million and five hunlred thousand. The Kansas City Journal might also add that the levy was so manipulated by the state treasurer lar.t year that over $500,000 moe than The -um needed was raised. This money is lying around idle in ban': near. In five counties, alone the county treasurers have been allow ed to retain for the last six months $200,000 which should have been remit ted in last January. Mr. Albaugh, it will be remembered, said there would be over J500.000 left, after the last fis cal year's appropriations had been paid. Mr. Kelly said there wouldn't be any thing left. The appropriations have been paid, and now it is disclosed that in addition to what is left in the treas ury there is $200,000 due from county treasurers, who by some private ar rangement with the state treasurer have held back their remittances six months after collecting them.

Much Difficulty Experienced in Securing Quorum. Judge Garter Objects to Sunday Work In Building. "If each member of the board of ed ucation received a salary of $300 a year for attending1 every meeting per haps the members would all come," said W. H. Wilson at the meeting of the board last night at 8:55 o'clock when but five members were present. At nine o'clock Col. J. D. Norton ap peared and the board lacked one mem ber of a quorum. "I. want to leave at 10 o'clock," an nounced Judge Garver. 'Why not lot the reporters voto proxies of the absent members at nil meetings so we can have quorums? asked E. K. Roudebush. The reporters will agree to vote the proxies or anything else necessary. Meetings of the board of education are tiresome enough but still worse when one has to loaf around till 9:30 o'clock before the seventh member necessnry for a quorum can be enticed away from some ice cream social. At the last meeting the board awarded a $975 con tract without a quorum present. As nothing else was going on Judge Garver said that he lives in the same block as the high school building and that last Sunday a tin smith locV-.ed himself in the school building all day Sunday. Judge Garver said the noise was disturbing and he wished the prac tice to stop. At 9:21 o clock J. W. Gleed arrived and a quorum was present and the board proceeded to award contracts, on bids received, for school supplier for the coming year, f The contract for supplying paper was awarded to the Topeka Paper company and for pens and pencils to the Hall Lithographing company andtheZercher book company. The Topeka Paper company s price for practice paper was 96 cents; Plo ver drawing paper, 7 cents; buff drawing paper, 5 cents; heavy newspaper. 3 cents. The Hall company was given the contract for supplying Eagle pens at 26 cents a gross, high school pencils at $2.50, toilet paper at $5.50. The Zercher company was awarded thf contract for Eagle drawing pen cils at $1.50 and Esterbrook pens at 30 cents a gross. The contract for changing the clos ets In the Polk building from one part of the basement to another, in order to make room for manual train ing, .was awarded to-Conklin Gus tafson for $320. I The board received a bid front the telephone companies for installing a telephone system In the high school and manual training school. The In dependent company bid $2 for six telephones and switchboard, and the Bell company's bid was $84 for six telephones. The board plans to have switchboard Installed and tele phones in rooms of the two buildings. This will be in addition to the pneu matic signal bell system being in stalled at a cost of $975. Would it be a good scheme to see what rate we could get for telephones n each of the ward schools? said Mr. Roudebush. 'If that is done the telephones should be on a private line system, so that only the teachers and superin tendent can use them," said Mr. Wil son. 'If we conclude to install phones in all the ward buildings that an be done later and we can award this contract tonight," said Judge Garver The board voted unanimously to in stall the Independent private tele phone and switchboard in the hip"h and the manual training schools with six telephones in each building. The school children and teaeners will be moved, signaled and orde.-ed about by compressed air, signal bells and telephones. SOME VERY GOOI SHOOTING.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAI4 WEDNESDA Y EVENING. JULY 20, 1904 RUSSIA STANDS FIRM. Ho Apology to Make for Seizures In the Red Sea. St. Petersburg, July 20. The Russ to day publishes an editorial statement of Russia's position relative to the stop ping of neutral ships in the Red sea by vessels of the volunteer fleet. There is great interest In the statement because tt is believed to reflect directly the 'Views of the foreign office. It follows: "The operations of the converted eruisers Smolensk and St. Petersburg are causing tremendous excitement in I2ngland. Questions are being asked in parliament, the newspapers are appeal ing to the public and there is a panic among ship owners. There also is a good deal of talk in Germany because of the seizure of the mails on the ateamer Prins Heinrich. but the most noise there is being made by extremists rgan. the others treating the matter coolly. It is a pity the English do not display the same Teutonic calmness, f "It is easy to understand that the British merchant marine feels the re strictions severely. As a result of the topping and searching of vessels, Eng lish ships either must give up trans porting contraband or continue at their wn risk and peril in time of war be tween two powers. Others are bound to suffer more or less, as it is impossi ble to check contraband traffic without Search. "In regard to the detention of the Irinx Heir.rich's mails, details have not yet reached St. Petersburg. Compre tensive discussion of this incident is, therefore impossible, but it must be pointed out. the official correspondence cf a belligerent is contraband. Conse quently, if the Prinz Heinrich carried Japanese diplomatic and Consular re ports she was liable to seizure. Of course whether she did or did not. cor respondence can be inspected to deter mine this fact. "The English in their excitement even raised the question as to whether we -were Justified in converting the volun teer fleet steamers into warships after they had passed the Dardanelles under the commercial flag. This is strange, fcvery government has a right either to build warships in its own yards, or de liver them abroad, buy them already built and Anally to convert merchant vessels into war ships. The volunteer fleet, at its very inception was intend ed to be converted into a military fleet UDon the declaration of war. "The English should not feel incensed over the passage of the St. Petersburg snd Smolensk through the Dardanelles. The British ambassy at Constantinople bands in a protest to the Turkish gov. ernment every time a volunteer fleet vessel passes the straits. "For many years these protests have been entirely disregarded, and there fore, long ago lost their Importance, Before the war. the Dardanelles was repeatedly passed by volunteer ships on the way to the far east, even with troops, arms and munitions abroad. If this were possible before the war it is Ttosslble now as there has been no change in our relations with Turkey as a result of the war with Japanese. "When the St. Petersburg and Smo lensk passed through the straits under the merchant flag their destination was correctly given as being the far east. In fact the vessels upon entering the Red sea armed and hoisted the mili tary flag. "A fundamental principle of Interna tional law that a neutral flag covers neutral goods will not. of course, be vi olated by our cruisers. Consequently, cargoes aboard the ships of neutral powers containing no contraband of war will remain as free as ever." IRONED OVT. Democrat Wrinkles In Iowa Are All Made Smooth. Iowa City, la., July 20. Harmony was the keynote of the Iowa Demo crat state convention. The prospec tive bitter fight to a finish between anti-Hearst and Hearst Democrats aid not develop, and the two factions vied with each other in nominating nd seconding the nomination of can didates of opposite political affilia tions. The effort to humiliate National Committeeman C. A. Walsh, who is also a member of the state committee, by limiting his vote in the latter body to matters not subject to contest, was not successful. It was defeated in the resolutions by a vote of 6 to 5. Apart from defeat in the Walsh mat ter the anti-Hearst men were in ab solute control and they now govern the machinery of the party in Iowa. The following ticket was named and Is cleverly made up of men of all shades of party belief: Electors at Large W. O. Schmit, J. B. Romans. Secretary of State Charles A. Dickson. Auditor of State Edgar F. Modary. Treasurer of State Henry Riegel man. Attorney General Maurice O'Con ner. Railway Commissioner J. P. Mo natey. Supreme Judge J. W. Sullivan. The platform adopted by the con vention is exceedingly brief. It de clares: "The Democrats of Iowa, in con vention assembled, hereby ratify the declaration of principles of the Dem ocratic national convention adopted at the recent convention at St. Louis and endorse the candidacy of A. B. Par ker and H. G. Davis, our nominees for president and vice president, and pledge them our hearty and loyal sup port." FOR A SOLDIER S PARDON. His Wife's Pleadings Had Effect on the President. Leavenworth. Kan.. July 20 President Roosevelt has pardoned Harry L. Guggen heim, a young soldier serving time in the post guardhouse for desertion. Guggen heim was a pharmacy student, who took a Uklng to army life and enlisted in the rospitai corps at rort Leavenworth. A short time after his enlistment he went to St. Joseph. Mo., and fell in love with a pretty girl and they were married. As his pay would not support a wife, he left her at her home until such time as he could make a home for her. Three months ago the young soldier went to see his wife and as the family was moving to White Cloud, Kan., Gug genheim stayed with them and helped move. He either forgot or did not real ise the offense he was committing in staying over his furlough, and woke to the cruelty of the world when a ser geant placed him under arrest for de sertion. His little wife was broken hearted and has been exerting every in fluence to save him from serving his IS months' sentence. Her appeals to the I (resident have secured her husband's re ease, but he can not enter the army again. He was released Monday. Illness In the Navy. New York, July 20. Considerable illness Is reported among the officer and meTl of the American fleet, particularly aboard the flagship Kearsarge. says a Herald dis patch from Trieste. Eleven officers ind men are ill with fevers, the result, it is believed, of drinking impure water in Italv. Among those ill is Ensign Tim mons, who is being nursed on shore In a private sanitarium by his wife, who is a. daughter of Senator Fairbanks. BIG EXCCRSIOXS TO TOPEKA.. They Will Be Arranged for the K. N, G. Encampment. On account of the Kansas National Guard encampment and maneuvers which are to be held in this city fci August, the Santa Fe railroad has an nounced a popular priced excursion to Topeka from practically all important stations and intermediate stations on the Santa Fe lines in Kansas. The excurston trains will be run to Topeka from all directions on Sunday August 21. One train will be made up at Ar kansas City, another at Wellington, at Hutchinson and at Ottawa and Kansas City. These trains coming in from every direction will pick up passengers from all stations. The Topeka Commercial club enter tainment committee has set about ar ranging for amusement for the visit ors to Topeka at that date. The sol diers will be encamped at Vinewood and there will be amusements at the park. The rates which will be In effect for this excursion will be about one-half of the fare for the trip one way for the round trip. Thus if the regular fare one way is $4, or $S for the round trio, the price for the round trip tick et for the excursion would be J 2. In other words, four people may make the trip for the price paid for one per son under ordinary circumstances. This excursion will probably bring five thousand visitors to the K. N. G. encampment on that day. KANSAS HAS TO PAY IT. Some Glaring Inequalities In the Rates for Freight. Some startling figures on compara tive freight rates between Kansas and other prairie states are given in the current number of the Southwestern Grain and Flour Journal of Wichita. The rates for from 100 to 400 miles are given for four classes of freight. There are sometimes complaints among Iowa people on account of the treatment which that state receives from the railroads, but the figures given, if they are correct, show that Iowa pays considerably less than half as great freight rates as Kansas. Il linois and Missouri are between Iowa, and Kansas. Here are the figures for four classes of freight given by the Grain and Flour Journal: FIRST CLASS. Dis- Kan- Illi- Mis- tance. sas. nois.

If the commissioners can do these things in others states, why not in Kansas also? In Iowa some time ago the railroad commissioners ordered the railroads to grant concessions to the stock ship pers, who were making a fight for speedier service on stock trains and for return transportation when taking stock to market. The jurisdiction of the Iowa board ended at the Missis sippi river and they could not enforce their orders outside the state, but they served notice on the railroads that un less the better service asked for was iortneoming. ire.giii.

Mrs. Katie Sullivan has brought suit in the city court against James F. Donald for (209.52. She alleges in ner petition that on or about October 20, 1901. she. being in need of money, arranged to borrow J 50 from the detenaant, giving a mortgage .on a piano and other household goods belonging to her; that she was to pay $5 a month interest on the $50, and that the de fendant gave her only2 $45, the $5 lacking being for the first month's in terest. She alleges that she has since then paid in interest on the $50 the sum of $162. and that, as the law does not permit the charging of more than 10 per cent., she has paid $104.76 more than the highest legal rate. Under the law, where excessive In terest is charged, the debtor can re cover double the amount In excess of the legal rate, and therefore Mrs. Sul livan asks that she be given Judgment for double $104.76, or $209.52. Mrs. Sullivan still owes the $45 which she received originally from the defend ant in the suit. Money supposed to be in the First National bank belong ing to Mr. Donald was garnlsheed. The case will come up in the city court July 26. Mrs. Sullivan Is the wife of John Sullivan, the B. M. section hand, living at 113 Atchison street- B W. Gardner Is Dead. Salina, Kan.. July 20. B. W. Gardner, one of the oldest residents of Saline county, is dead at his home north cf town. He was aged 7. Mr. Gardner was a native of Rhode Island, but came west In 1859, when he went to the gold fields in Colorado. He later returned to Saline county, and settled down on a claim on the Saline river. In 1864 he was driven away by the Indians, and remained away for two years, when he returned and had lived on the place since. Third Wreck Victim Dead. Emporia. Kan., July 20. Arthur Denham. who was injured in the col lision between a locomotive and a hand car, south of here, on the How ard branch road last Saturday morn ing. Is dead from his injuries. He did not recover consciousness during the three days between the time of the accident and his death. He is the third of the four people who were on the hand car to die. The fourth.

STRODG PROTEST. (Continued from First Page.) bitter feeling has been aroused in the English press since" the German em peror s telegram to the Boers. Intense apprehension prevails at Cardiff and other British coal ports and the chartering of vessels for the far east Is practically at -a standstill. From all sides come urgent de mands that -the -government take swift action to prevent a recurrence of seizures by the volunteer fleet. Russian pirates, as one paper heads- it, takes precedence of all other news. Admiral Sir Edmund Robert Fre- mantle, writing in the Daily Chronicle, says there is ffr doubt that the Rus sian volunteer fleet steamers are acting piratically, having passed the Dardanelles under a commercial flag. "The situation," the admiral says, "demands something more than a mere protest from the government. The crisis no doubt is grave, but I hold that our safest course would be to at once grasp the nettle and inform the Russian government that our cruisers have orders to prevent our merchantmen, being interfered with by vessels which we cannot admit to be men of war, and to request that their proceedings be disavowed and that they be immediately recalled to Rus sian ports after their prizes have been released. The Daily News declares that as a result of the cabinet meeting yester day a strongly worded dispatch was drawn up, embodying the govern ment's formal protest against the ac tion of the Russian vessels and that this dispatch will be forwarded to St. Petersburg by a special king's mes senger. The cabinet, the paper says, had an interchange of views with the admiralty and a programme of action in the case of eventualties was decid ed upon. It was decided also to make a protest to the Turkish government. The foregoing scarcely agrees with the attitude .of the foreign office as officially expressed to the Associated Press last evening and It appears to be an exaggerated version of what has been publicly declared as matter en gaging the serious attention of the government. Parliament Is United. London, July 20. The opposition leaders in the house of commons have allowed it to be understood that they will be prepared to support the gov ernment in its representations to Rus sia in regard to the seizure of the steamer.

The Republi cans of Washington county are in the field with their ticket as follows: State senator, J. B. Lower; representative, Henry M. Mueller; county clerk, C. D. Kiff; treasurer, A. J. Morrison; county attorney, A. J. Freeborn; register of deeds, J. S. Euans; probate Judge, Fred Randall; clerk of court. A. H. Foote; sherlff.Connie Collins; superintendent of schools, S. L. Lashbrook; coroner, Dr, R C. Rudolph; surveyor, T. C. Eding- ton For some time the fight was exciting for state senator between three cand dates. S. H. Hamilton, who was the boss of the boss busters' faction; J. B. Lower and Captain S. S. Longley, were the opposing candidates. After a few of the primaries had been held Hamil ton saw that he wasn't in the race, and drew out. Captain Longley withdrew before tne convention, stating as he did so that he didn't have enough delegates to nominate him. This left the field alone to Lower, and he was nominat ed by acclamation. The nomination for representative was also made by ac clamation. The convention was made up of 152 delegates, every township in the coun hv full delegations. Wm. Murdock, of Clifton, present rep resentative from Washington county, was chairman of the convention. He made a model presiding officer. Many old time Republican wheel horses were delegates in the convention, as they have been for the last twenty- flve years. The withdrawal of August Jaedicke, Jr., for representative, gave Mr. Muel ler his nomination by acclamation The thoughtful Democrats think they see victory this fall, and are talking of N. F. Graham, for state senator, and H. R. Fulton for representative. Both are lawyers .the latter having attended tne St. Louis convention as an assist ant sergeant-at-arms. and assisted 115 Kansas Democrats get seats in the con vention. This ought to entitle him to the nomination. W. T. Dillon, Republican candidate for Judge of the Cloud-Republic-Waah-ington district, was a visitor at the con vention, meeting many old friends and getting acquainted with others. The friends of Mr. Dillon are confident of his election. The nomination of Tower for senator is a victory for the anti-Burton fac tion. GETS HIM OUT OF JAIL. Rev. P. Bolinger, Who Suffered From Theft, Circulates Petition. Governor Bailey has issued a Jail pardon for Jesse Stallworth, who has been for a short time serving a sen tence in the Graham county jail for petty larceny. He was accused, with another man, of stealing some alfalfa seed from Rev. P. Bolinger and was sentenced to serve seven months in the county jail. He was convicted on June 3, but it was soon discovered that jail life did not agree with him. He is subject to asthma and a physician certified that confinement in the Jail might prove fatal to him. Rev. Mr. Bolinger, the man he was accused of robbing, himself circulated a petition asking for Stallworth's par don, and it was signed by the county officers and the leading people gen erally. Lieutenant Governor Hanna wrote a letter recommending the par don, stating that the other man seem ed to have been the leader in the" rob bery. H. J. Harwi, the county attor ney, wrote that unless the pardon was hurried Stallworth was liable to die in jail, so Governor Bailey commuted his sentence to end tomorrow, July 21. Mob Captured the Mayor. Danville, Va., July 20. A mob of about 75 men, composed principally of railroad men. wearing handkerchiefs over their faces, made a demonstration before the city jail shortly after 2 o'clock this morn ing for the purpose of taking the negro Roy Shields, accused of the murder last Saturday of Flagman James Larmes. The police were prepared and the mob finally dispersed. Mayor Wooding addressed the mob and ordered them to disperse. But the mob swept by, hurrying the mayor along with them. Several shots were fired by the police into the air. WIclilta ami Return $2.00, Santa Fe. Excursion Sunday, July 24. Train leaves Topeka 6:30 a. m.. returning arrives Topeka 12:00 a. m. OVERHAULED.

Russian Infractions of the Treaties of Paris and London. London, July 20. The Constanti nople correspondent of the Standard under date of July 18 says it is now stated that the Russian guardship Chernomoretz has gone to relieve a gunboat at Piraeus. Other powers effect the relief of their guardships by sending vessels here to meet them. The Chernomoretz may call or even stay at Piraeus, say the correspond ent, adding: "But we may expect to soon see her employed in active serv ice." The correspondent continues: "The infractions of the treaties of Paris and London by the Smolensk and the St. Petersburg are causing astonishment. Only a month ago a British yacht was compelled to disembark two toy can non oeiore being allowed to pass through the Dardanelles." INTEREST LACKING. None But Delegates In Attendance at Iowa Republican Convention. Des Moines, la.. July 20. A delegate auaience greeted Congressman W. P. tieppurn, temporary chairman of the Republican state convention when he arose to address the Catherine today. Interest and enthusiasm is lacking and empty galleries is a characteristic fea ture of the meeting. The convention Is "stand pat" as there was no effort on the Dart of Gov ernor fummlns and his friends to con trol a single caucus. Two or three con tests over committeemen in as many district caucuses served to enliven the interest for a while during the morn ing hours, but when the delegates went to the convention hall It was merely for the purpose of placing in nomination a slate already prepared oy tne party leaders and to adopt a platform over which there was no dis sension. The resolutions will be framed along the lines laid down by the national con vention at Chicago and will declare for protection, leaving a revision of the tariff at any time it is felt there is need of revision of the schedules, to the Republican party. Congressman Hepburn outlined the policy which the convention will follow in the matter of resolutions by reiterat ing standing phrases adopted at other Republican conventions since the na tional platform was framed and adopt ed at Chicago. Mr. Hepburn s speech created considerable enthusiasm, es pecially when he referred to Theodore Roosevelt as the gallant leader of the Republican party who was to lead his followers to victory. The resolutions committee was com posed of men who are opposed to the socalled "Iowa idea. The stand pat faction went to the caucuses today prepared to fight if necessary in order to eliminate from the resolutions com mittee any who are believers in the "Iowa idea" and who are not adherents of protection. It was unnecessary, however, as the Cummins men conced- eda victory from the outset. m i I... WIELDED A HORSEWHIP. Sirs. A. K. Harris Finds Her Husband With Another Woman. A. K. Harris is the husband of an irate woman. Mrs. Harris feels that she Is a greatly wronged wife, and no doubt she is. Mrs. Harris horse whipped her Wusband at about 10 o'clock last niglit while the latter was about to enter a buggy with another woman near the Thompson block on Quincy street between Sixth avenue and Seventh street, but it wasn't much of a whipping. Mrs. Harris has long suspected her husband of being in timate with other women. Last even ing Mrs. Harris, who had been attend ing lodge, came down Quincy street with another lady and when across the street near Sixth and Quincy streets noticed a buggy standing in front of the Thompson block. She thought she recognized the woman sitting In the buggy as a Mrs. Myers. Mrs. Harris then asked her com panion to cross the street with her as she wished to watch the buggy and its occupant. She had crossed the street and was in close proximity to the buggy when her husband suddenly appeared with his arms full of beer bottles. He appeared so suddenly that she did not know from which di rection he had come. By this time she was close enough to readily recog nize the other occupant as Mrs. Myers. Harris with his recently pur chased beer was busily, engaged in storing away the bottles underneath the seat and was unaware of his wife's presence until she was right by his side. He looked up with a start as Mrs. Harris ordered Mrs. Myers to get out of the buggy, saying Get out of the buggy this instant, or I will make it hot for you." Mrs. Myers refused to vacate her seat, while Harris got in the buggy and remained seated by the woman. At this Mrs. Harris took the buggy whip, which was standing in the hold er right within her reach, and struck at Mrs. Myers, who in turn attempted to shield herself behind Mr. Harris. About four or five blows fell upon the person for whom they were intended, and a couple of glancing blows fell upon the husband of the irate woman. Harris secured a hold on the whip and wrenching it clear drove away at a gallop. AN EIGHT TEAR MAN HUNT. William Payne, Fugitive From Ken tucky, Caught In Kansas. A requisition from Governor Beck ham of Kentucky on Governor Bailey for the return of William Payne to that state, has been honored by Gov ernor Bailey. Payne is accused of as sault with intent to kill. The crime of which he was accused was committed in Fayette county, Kentucky, nearly eight years ago, and the officers have been after him ever since. They recently located him In Brown county, and Sheriff William Jenkins of Fayette county, Kentucky, came after him. The victim of the alleged assault was Sallie Robinson, whom Payne is accused of shooting, but nothing is known of the details of the shooting here or how Payne was located in Kansas.

Valuation of -Property as Returned by Counties. The total assessed valuation of all property in Kansas this year, as re turned by the county clerks to the state auditor, is $372,673,858. an in crease of less than eight million dol lars over last year. The total last year was $364,724,221. Assistant State Auditor Nation be lieves this is about one-sixth of the real valuation of the state.

Strike Doesn't Make Business. At the Wolff packing plant it is stat ed that the number -of hogs and cattle butchered now is the same as usual and that the only change noticeable is a slight increase in business. Wrhen the strike was first declared some inquiries were made of the Wolff people about extra shipments of cattle and hogs but no extra shipments have been made. There is no strike at the Wolff plant and it is not likely that there will be one as the employes of the plant do not belong to any unions. Mr. Charles Wolff evidently anticipates no trouble as he is out of town. Equalizing the Taxes.

PURE DRtXKIXG WATER, No One Allowed to Swim in a Stream Tliat Supplies a Municipality. Columbus. O.. July 20. The state board of health has taken a big con tract on its hands if it intends to en force an order promulgated today. At the request of the officials of Barnesville rules were adopted which will seek to prevent boating and bath ing in streams which supply water to municipalities. While framed partic ularly for Barnesville, the rules will be applicable to every municipality in the state. Under the provisions of the Braun law, enacted last winter, the state and local boards have greater authority in the matter of regulating water sup plies than the general laws gave to them. The Braun law gives munici palities control over the streams from which they take water for twenty miles from the municipal limits. The construction placed upon the law by the state board of health is that not only the main stream is under control, but that every branch and tributary also comes under supervision, and, in effect, this means that almost the en tire watershed or any stream may De made subject to the rules of the iocul and state boards xf health. The boating and bathing feature cf the rules says that such sports are not to be tolerated without the consent of the local board of health. Skating on the ice in winter comes under the same ban.

Will Force County Attorneys to Hold Liquor Inquisitions. The State Temperance union is open ing up on the jointists over the state. J. K. Codding, state senator from Pot tawatomie county, is helping in the legal part of the plans. The plan is to check information about Joints up to the county attorneys and insist on the county attorneys holding inquisitions to get evidence. The union also employs attorneys to assist the county attor ney, as is provided for under the state law. The action of the state in "going af ter" Henry Trinkle, county attorney of Linn county, and bringing a suit to oust him from office in tne supreme court, has encouraged the union to this action. If a county attorney should refuse to do his duty when the infor mation concerning law violations is furnished him, the case of Trinkle would be cited to him as an incentive to come to time. The law gives the temperance people the right to employ a lawyer to help in liquor prosecu tions, and the ounty attorney cannot dismiss prosecutions- witnout the con sent of that lawyer. The plan is to collect evidence con cerning the existence of Joints and the names of men who are known to patronize them. These are placed in. the hands of the county attorney ana he is required to hold an inquisition to find out what each witness knows, in this way evidence to convict tne jointists is nretty sure to be forthcoming. The union is also looking after the Joint drug stores and is calling the at tention of probate Judges to those drug gists who seem to be doing too much business in the liquor line. Here is a sample notice which has been issued by the probate Judge and county attorney of Pottawatomie county: "NOTICE TO DRUGGISTS. "Westmoreland, Kan., July 15, 1904. "Complaints ha,ve lately been made that some of the druggists have been abusing their permits issued by the probate Judge by selling intoxicating liquors to persons without requiring them to take an oath, stating what purpose they were needed for, and that they were actually necessary for that purpose. Besides, it appears evident from the monthly returns of the drug gists made to the probate Judge that some of them, have been selling en tirely too much whisky for medicine to some persons. When a druggist makes fifteen or twenty sales of one pint each of whisky to one man in one month, for about as many different imaginary diseases and afflictions, he must have good reason to believe that the man desires the' liquor for some thing other than any actual ailment. "The law provides that any druggist or pharmacist who signs any false cer tificate to an affidavit without adminis tering the oath to the applicant, or sells any intoxicating liquor to any person whom he has reason to believe desires the same for use as a beverage, is guil ty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con viction thereof may be fined not less than J100 nor more than $500, and be imprisoned in the county jail not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days and his permit be forfeited and he not allowed to obtain another permit within five years thereafter. "The law imperatively requires an oath to be made by the purchaser be fore the liquor is delivered, and the druggist must see to it that the oath is administered according to law to the purchaser before the liquor is delivered to him. It is not enough to have the applicant simply sign the affidavit, but he must De actually sworn. j.ns oain must be administered in proper form "V 5H MANHATTAN BEACH. and without any evasion. This can not be omitted in any case of sale of in toxicating liquor. And then if a pur chaser takes such-' an oath falsely he can be prosecuted for perjury. "All druggists and pharmacists are authorized to administer oaths to appli cants for such liquors. "J. B. LAUGHLIN, Probate Judge. "R. S. HICK, County Attorney. NOT FOR DAVIS. Senator Scott Thinks the Repabllcuna Will Carry West Virginia. Washington, July 20. Senator N. B. Scott, of West Virginia, who will take a leading iart in the coming na tional campaign, was in conference with the Republican national chair man, Mr". Cortelyou, today. The leg islature to be elected in West Vir ginia In November will choose Mr. Scott's successor in the senate. He admits that the nomination of Henry G. Davis for vice president will lead the Democrats to make a hard fight in that state. Said he: "I believe our state will remain in the Republican column. I base this belief upon the fact that the people of West Virginia favor the maintenance of the protective tariff. We fought out the controversy over the tariff when the late William L. Wilson was the Democratic leader in West Virginia and the state has been Republican ever since. There is no doubt, however, that the campaign this year will be an interesting one." It was said at the headquarters of the Democratic congressional cam paign committee today that the Dem ocratic campaign book would be is sued as soon as Judge Parker makes public his letter of acceptance. The most striking feature of the book is its evident purpose to make the personality of President Roose velt one of the Issues of the cam paign. Speeches by Representative Kitchen and others attacking the chief executive are given important positions. It is said that the currency question is entirely ignored, but in view of the advanced attitude taken by Judge Parker it is more than likely that his managers will insist upon some formal recognition of his posi tion.

On Hundred and Fire Are Granted Certificate!. Results of Becent Examination Are Annonnced. 1YAGES TO BE III G HER. Superintendent Wright Also Says Term Will Be Longer. Han j of New Teachers Are High School Graduates. County Superintendent Wright has finished tht work of grading the exam ination papers of the 140 persons who took the four weeks' course at the Shawnee county normal Institute and !ho took the examinations for teach ers' certificates. Of the 140 examined, 305 passed, which is a good per cent age. Professional certificates were granted to 22. first grade certificates to 38. The highest grade in the professional class was made by L. G. French with a grade f 98. the highest in the first grade was Tay Engle with a grade of 94, the high est in the second grade were Clara Fnoddy, Lyda McConnell and Maud Fowler each with a grade of S9. The highest in the third grade was Jessie Rice with a grade of 9. Nearly all of the 38 who received third grade certificates, and will teach during the coming term for the first time, are graduate of the Tope,ka high school. "The wages for teachers in Shawnee county during the term commencing September 12 will be higher than pre viously." said Superintendent Wright. "Besides there being an increase in the wages paid the term of school will he Jonger as nearly all the country schools !ill have an eight months' term. Last Sear there was a shortage of teachers In Shawnee county but for the coming term we will be well supplied as the graduates of the Topeka high school, ,who have secured teachers' certificates, nil bring the number of available teachers up to the number sufficient to upply the country schools. "Practically all those who received third grade certificates are new teach ers and from the high school. The country school boards are always anxious for high school graduates, as they make excellent teachers. For the past four years I have made a particular effort to get high school graduates interested in the normal in stitute, and the plan has been suc cessful, and this year we secured more j-ecruits from the high school than ever before. The percentage of those Who passed the examination to be come teachers this term is greater than ever before. Our usual num ber to secure certificates is about 80, Jid this year is 105." Those who receive professional cer tificates do not have to take any more examinations, as their certificates are renewed each year.

At the Beal local option election, held Tuesday in McComb, the wets were victorious by five votes, the votes cast being: Wets 163, drys 158. There is probably no place in the state where the question of whether li quor shall be sold has caused so much loss of property, to say nothing of the loss of blood, as in McComb. The dry side of the controversy has been ac tively championed by Rev. A. C. Red ding and Attorney Milt Warner. Ar rests and street brawls have been weekly occurences Plate glass win dows have been smashed, and in one instance the front of Emmett L. Sut ton's house was partly demolished, and his invalid wife nearly died from nerv ous prostration. Finally the drys secured a detective to obtain evidence against the wets, but he was forced to leave the town to save his life. Mayor Cooper, who has been on the wet side, has been criticis ed by the press and pulpit. The victory was somewhat unexpect ed, as the drys thought they had mat ters entirely in their own hands, and were confident of victory. Keep cool these hot evenings. Take a ride out into the country.

Never Loses Its Strength Always the Same CALUMET Is Most Healthful, Wholesome and Economical Judge Hamilton Holds the Express Company Ordinance Good. Judge Hamilton decided adversely in the case of the United States Express company vs. the city of Topeka in which the express company endeavored to show that the city council, could not legally im pose a license tax against the company. The company is represented in the city by their agent. George H. Jones, and a fine was assessed for non-payment of the tax which is of the same amount as thQ license. Mr. Jones immediately proceeded to take steps for filing an appeal bond, and the case will be further heard in the district court. Mr. John O'Keefe of Leavenworth, the counsel for the express company, who ar gued the case before Judge Hamilton last week when the hearing was had, con tended that the city counsel in passing such a license ordinance was conflicting with the interstate commerce laws and that in so doing the council was trans cending its powers and the ordinance could only be held unconstitutional. The fact that the license would be placed upon the express company, which trans acted all of its business between points both interstate and state and that the tax was upon this business and the li cense paid from general fund accruing from the business done in the manner de scribed, was held by Mr. O'Keefe as af fecting the interstate commerce laws. The brief as presented in behalf of the city by City Attorney Spencer cited the passing and imposing of similar licenses in the states of Nebraska and Virginia, in which telegraph companies operating in the cities of Fremont and Portsmouth respectively, were compelled to pay a tax upon the poles. The supreme court in Nebraska and the court of appeals in Vir ginia both upheld the constitutionality of the tax. City Attorney Spencer maintain ed for the city that the tax was im posed upon the business done within the state only and held that the state legis lature granted the power to a city council for imposing such a tax. Judge Hamilton returned his opinion Tuesday afternoon upholding the city's contention. He considered that it was the intention of the ordinance to levy only on the business done within the con fines of the state and that as such power has been delegated by the state legisla ture to the city council, he would hold against the express company. The present case was in the nature of a suit case and the ordinance will be passed up for examination to the higher courts. HAS TWENTY NURSES. Mrs. George Crocker Arrives In Sew York From Europe.

Surrounded by a corps of twenty trained nurses "and at tended by two specialists, Mrs. George Crocker, wife of the California million aire, arrived, critically ill, on the North German Lloyd "Jliner Kron Prinz Wil helm. She was accompanied by her husband and two children. So weak was Mrs. Crocker that she was in total ignorance of the voyage, and every thing that money could buy was ob tained to relieve her suffering. Mrs. Crocker became ill while abroad. Her condition became alarming a short time ago and it was then that her hus band decided to return to America. Ev ery precaution wffs made to make the trip a comfortable one. The cables and telegraph were kept busy between Lon don and San Francisco. Prof. Hiertz stein, a noted specialist, and said to be one of the greatest physicians on the coast, was requested to hurry from the Golden Gate and across the seas as fast steam would carry him. Then a corps of nurses, numbering twenty, were engaged and they, too, were giv en passage across the ocean. All during the trip across the Atlan tic Dr. Hiertzstein drilled the young women in their duties and when at last they set foot on English soil every one was in readiness to attend to the wants and comforts of their rich patient. A suite or rooms was engagea on tne Kron Prinz. They were used as living apartments by the nurses, while the one in which Mrs. Croeker lay was cut off from all the others. Soft mats were placed all over the floors and every thing possible done to prevent the slightest noise. When the great liner was made fast to its pier and the story became known there was a great flurry. Many large tanks which contained oxygen were taken from the ship. All during the voyage Mrs. Crocker was supplied with the pure air. and it was this that kept life in her body. On the pier there was a large stretch ed to convey Mrs. Crocker from the ship. Before her marriage to Mr. Crocker she was the widow of Mr. Rutherford, a rich Californian. Two children re sulted from this union. After her marriage to Mr. Crocker, which took place at St. Thomas church in 1893, Mrs. Crocker entertained lav ishly at Newport. Mr. Crocker received 5 million dollars from his father for abstaining from al coholic drinks for five years. MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY. TRAINMEN STRIKE Threaten to Tie Up All Freight Trains on Pennsylvania System. Philadelphia, July 20. The Press tomor row will say: In carrying out its policy of retrench ment, the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany is brought face to face with a threatened strike that might tie up every freight train on the entire system from New York to Pittsburg. Following closely upon the cutting down of the clerical force, orders were issued on Monday laying off one brakeman from every freight crew of the divisions com prising the main line. Altogether up ward of 1,000 men are directly affected by the order. On the New York and middle divisions this order went into effect on Monday at midnight. On the Philadelphia and Pitts burg divisions it became operative last midnight. The trainmen located at Altoona, the western end of the middle division, struck on the receipt of the orders and refused to take out their trains from Altoona to Harrisburg Tuesday morning. Twenty crews from Harrisburg were telegraphed for to take the places of the strikers and were sent on a fast train to Altoona. On the' New York division the receipt of the- order was met with a notice from the Brotherhood o Trainmen that unless the men laid off were all put back in a week's time the entire division would go out on a strike.

Benham, probably the oldest twins in the United States, cele brated the eighty-seventh anniversary of their birth with a shore dinner which they gave to several of their friends at a summer resort near this city. The party was a merry one, but not the least active of those present were the two hale old men, who look alike, dress alike, speak alike, and, some of their friends say, think alike. The Benhams were born on July 8, 1817, in Middlebury, Conn. Both are hearty and actively attend to the care of their extensive property in this city and vicinity. Both are more than six feet tall, stand very straight, and, ex cept for their snow white hair and beard, there is nothing about them to indicate how many years they have lived. Having learned the building trade in this city, the brothers came here in April, 1834. They built many of Bridge port's important structures, including three churches, the largest of which the South Congregational church, stands directly opposite their office. Several business blocks in Stamford and New London still stand as records of their youthful energy. They come of a long lived family. Their grandfather lived to be 94 years old; their father. True man Benham, was 88 and their mother 9& when death called them, and their only brother died at the age of SC. Steady habits, temperance In all things, and hard work is the cause ascribed by the brothers for their present excellent health and ripe old age. To the World's Fair via the. Missouri Pacific.
