American European Squadron Ordered to Turkish Haters. This feint Is Only 300 Miles from Constantinople. HAY HURRIES BACK Secretarj of State Cuts Short His Vacation. Increasing Complications With Turkish Government. REPLY OF THE SULTAN To Minister Irishman's Kepre seutations Not Satisfactory. A Strong Naval Force Will Re main in the Mediterranean. The orders were cabled to Rear Ad miral Jewell, commander of the squad ron at Nice. His ships are the Olympla, Baltimore and Cleveland. It is under stood he will proceed to the eastern Mediterranean ner the Black sea. The destination of the fleet is Smyrna. This place was selected because it afforded direct cable communication with "Wash ington and is only about 300 miles dis tant from Constantinople. The trip probably will be made in three days. Hay Hurries Back. Washington, Aug. 6. The European squadron has been ordered to Turk ish waters. Washington, Aug. 6. Secretary Hay's return to the city from his summer home was signallized by consideration of important matters concerning Amer ica's foreign relations. The secretary liad not completed his vacation, but re turned to Washington at this time on account of the developments in this country's relations with Turkey. The whole question was considered by the president and his cabinet in the light of information received by cable from Minister Leishmann, at Constantino ple. This government has- been pressing the porte for an answer to our repre sentations of the rishts of the Ameri cans to establish schools and other ed ucational institutions in the Turkish empire and one was promised. Such rights have been accorded other na tions, but have been withheld from America. Secretary Hay declined to say what if any decision had been reached. Secretary Morton's reply to similar inquiries indicated the proba bility of important action by his depart ment bearing upon the Turkish qucs tion. The situation was regarded as suffl ciently grave to warrant some change in the programme that has been form ed for the movement of the United States naval vessels in the Mediter ranean. While it was not decided to stop the homecoming of the fleet of bis battleships due at Gibraltar in a day or two, the determination was reached to hold Admiral Jewell, commanding the European squadron which was separa ted from the battleship squadron and is now at Villefranche. They will re main in that vicinity until further or ders, or at least not to come further westward while the negotiations are pending. LOCKOUT IS ON. Forty Thousand Union Men Out of Their Jobs.

Alton 111.. Aui. 6. While bathing in the Mississippi river, Michael Riley, his daughter and six of the latter's girl friends were drowned. One child, who was in the party was rescued. The Dead: MICHAEL RILEY, 32 years old. ELIZABETH RILEY, lL ALLIE SNYDER, 14. LUCY PATES, 8. LIZZIE PATES, 14. BESSIE BRUM, 14. MYRIE BRUM. 10. RUTH MARSHALL. 12. Riley lived near the river in the southern part or me city aim vvita un customed to bathing on the beach in front of his home after his return irom work. Last night his little daugnter heeeed to go with him and Riley took her and seven of her girl friends to the beach with him. When the,- entered the water Riley bade the children join hands, ana tney all waded into the river and walked along a sand bar which stretched out into the stream at that point. They had gone some distance from the shore when suddenly the whole party disap red beneath the water, having in the darkness stepped from the sand bar into the deep channel. The children strueitled and screamed fichtine- desneratelv to reach the sand bar where the water was only a foot or so in depth. Riley, who is said to have been a good swimmer, is thought tr have been made nelpiess Dy tne gins clinging to him and hampering his el- fnns to save them. The only one in the party to regain he sand bar was Mary Timiny. 8 years old. The child is unable to tell now he saved herself beyond tne statement that 'T snatched my hand loose ironi he grasp of the little girl next to me ind soon found I could stand up and water only came to my knees." The beach where the aeciaent oc curred is practically deserted alter nitrhtfall and the screams of tne nine Timiny girl failed to attract any one to the scene. After Riley and her play mates had disappeared beneath the water, the child ran irom tne qeauu nd reached her Home, screaming ai he top of her voice. She was so nys- torioni that it was some time Deiore her parents could gather an account of what had occurred. According to the account or tne acci dent rivon hv the little Timiny girl, af ter she had been in a measure calmed by her parents.the drowning was caused by the excitement incident to the pass age of a large river steamer. Mary says that they had waded some distance into the stream, keeping care fully to the sand bar when the wash from the steamer caused waves of con siderable height to come ashore. Before entering the water, Riley had instruct ed the little ones to maintain a tight grasp on one another's hands, he tak ing a place in the center. The wash from the steamer created considerable confusion among the girls, and in the darkness they lost their bearings and before they were aware of their danger two or more of them had stepped oft the sand bar into the chan nel, dragging the others with them. Marv was at the end of the line and when her companion dragged er from the sand bar she was the nearest to shoal water and to that fact she owes her escape. Only four of the party have been re covered. The bodes of Michael Riley, Alice Snvder and Lucia Pates. were discovered last night. That of Bessie Brum was found today. The river i3 being dragged for the remains of Ruth Marshall, Marie Brunn, Elizabeth Riley and Eliza Pates, the other little girls in the party who lost their lives. MISS BREWER WINS. Sister of the Associate Justice Beats Telephone Company. Pittsfield. Mass., Aug. 6. Miss Em ily F. Brewer, sister of Associate Jus tice David J. Brewer, of the United States supreme court, has won a fight against the telephone company which had secured a permit to place a pole near the entrance to the Brewer home in Stockbridge. From 12 o'clock noon until 8 o'clock in the morning Miss Brewer personal ly guarded the proposed pole location. She had a tent erected and slept there while sentinels were posted to pre vent surprise by the telephone com pany. The deputy sheriff of Stock- bridge ordered Miss Brewer's removal and she was carried to her house. There she in turn ordered the officer from her property and went back to her station near the hole. There the linemen and selectmen found her still holding her position. Finally they agreed on another location for the pole across the street and Miss Brewer re tired. tiold Shipments Resumed.

Japanese Send Gunboats Up the Llao River 100 Miles. Object Is to Prevent Russians From Retiring Westward. WOLF'S HILL BATTLE. Graphic Description of Fight In Port Arthur Paper. Line of Battle Extended a Dis tance of 16 Miles. New Chwang, Aug. 6. A strong Jap anese naval force composed of gun boats and torpedo boats proceeded up the Liao river yesterday. The shallow draft of these vessels enables them to ascend the river for a hundred miles. They are. to intercept the Russain re treat to the westward. The Russians again have been outflanked and com pelled to retire. The American consul general here, Mr. Miller, has given an official din ner to the consular body and the mem bers of the Japanese administration at which General Fukushima was the guest of honor. A large commissariat column leaves here every day. .People are not allowed to leave the foreign settlement and the censorship imposed Dy tne Japanese is most rigid, Fort Arthur Can't Hold Out. Chefoo, Aug. 6, 3 p. m. "Port Ar thur certainly will fall inside of one or two months, depending upon how fast the Japanese move." This opinion was expressed today by an educated Rus sian who has just arrived here from Port Arthur by Junk. He had 15 com panions, and the party left the Rus sian stronghold six days ago. They surtered much hardship on the trip over from lack of food and water. The Russian who voiced the foregoing opinion occupied an important semi official position at Port Arthur and his views are regarded as valuable. He says that while the Japanese con stantly receive reinforcements, every ivussian casualty decreases the defen sive efficiency of the garrison, as the Russians can not be reinforced. Gen eral Stoessel, commander-in-chief at Port Arthur, Is compelled to husband his ammunition. He can manufacture shells, but it is impossible to make proper explosives. The necessity of protecting the men for the final stand explains the retreat of the Russians from the strong outpost positions, where their losses were far less serious than those sustained by the assailants. According to this Russian, General Stoessel is irt daily communication with General Kuropatkin. The three days' fighting of last week was done chiefly with artillery. Battle or Wolf's Hill. Chefoo, Aug. 6. 7 p. m. A news paper published at Port Arthur and which was brought in here today, gives fragmentary details of the recent heavy fighting there. The Japanese artillery opened a desultory fire on the afternoon of July 25. That night the Russians slept on their arms in the trenches. They occupied a line 16 miles long. The next morning, July 26, the fog cleared awty at 6 o'clock and the Japanese then began to fire along the entire line. This fire was kept up un til dark. The Japanese marksman ship was more accurate, showing that they had derived benefit from the practice of the preceding day. Their heaviest fire was directed against the batteries which included the 12-inch naval guns commanded by Prince Tscheidse and Captain Skrydloff. A perfect shower of shells hit the earth works or went screeching into tne val ley behind, doing considerable dam age to the artillerymen. The hottest fighting began at day break of July 2 7. The battle com menced under the rays of a scorching sun. The Russian right wing was commanded by Major General Kon dratenko, who was compelled to bear the brunt of the terrific cannonading. To this fierce fire the Russians replied with deliberation. The naval battery was again made the target' for the heaviest lire, and it was evident that the Japanese were trying to silence the most dangerous Russian position. A perfect shower of shrapnel was thrown into the valley behind the Russian batteries, and Major General Kondratenko remarked that the Jap anese evidently believed that the Rus sian reserves were in this valley. From the naval guns observers oc casionally saw shells bursting near the other batteries. As the day wore on the activity of the Japanese fire increased. In the meanwhile the Russian infantry, pas sive witnesses of the artillery duel, lay in their trenches awaiting an attack. They were well protected and but a few shells fell among them. At 9 o'clock volley firing gave warning of the Jap anese assaultr which followed swiftly. As the Japanese infantry advanced the Japanese artillery fire slackened some what, but the Russian batteries replied with increased vigor, while the Russian riflemen vollied rapidly and with great animation. For an hour the Japanese advanced intrepidly in the face of a fire which is described as a thousand volleys in simultaneous eruption. The Japanese advance against the Russian right wing ceased, and the Russians cheered, but at this moment news arrived from Gen eral Stoessel, the commander-in-cnief at Port Arthur, announcing that the terrific pounding to which the Russian right wing had been subjected was nothing more than a mask to cover the concentration of Japanese troops pre paratory to an attack upon the Rus sian left wing.of which Wolf's mountain was the key. General Stoessel commanded the presence of Major General Kondraten ko who, with his staff, mounted his horse and at once started to join the commander-in-chief. After having rid den a short distance Major General Kondratenko was compelled to choose between two roads, one long and safe from the Are of the enemy, the other short and leading through a shell-swept valley. "God favors the brave," remarked the general, and he and his staff galloped safely over the dangerous road. At noon on July 2i the Japanese. who had been attacking suddenly ceased fir ing and presently observers, with the aid of field glasses could see the enemy quietly eating rice. After this the right wing was occasionally reminded of the presence of the Japanese by the descent Tr a huge shell, but the worst was over. In the meanwhile the main attack which resulted in the capture of Wolfs mountain had been developed. During the fighting of these days the Russians used telephones for communi cation with all parts of the field. Casualties Among Officers. St. Petersburg, Aug. 6. The Army organ published the names of the offi cers killed or wounded July 31, and August 1, showing that seven were kill ed and 40 wounded, including General Dedklin, commanding the first artillery brigades. In addition eight officers are missing and one officer died from sun stroke. The paper does not say this is a complete list. The officers are from 13 infantry regiments of Which four are East Siberian regiments; belonging to the late General Keller's corps, five European regiments belonging to the Tenth corps and four Siberian regi ments, in all 48 battalions. Won't Do It Again. St. Petersburg. Aug. 1:57 A. M. The Associated Press is able to an nounce there will be no repetition of the Knight Commander and the Thea incident. Russia has issued instructions to naval commanders not to sink mer chantmen with contraband on board in the future, except in cases of direct ne cessity, but in cases of emergency to secure prize into neutral ports.. Direct necessity may be regarded as a reser vation of a right which Russia does not formally relinquish, but which it is safe to say will not again be exercised dur ing the present war. Russian conces sion in this matter may be looked on as proof of Aer sincere desire to avoid international complications, or unneces sary seizure of neutrals. Russian authoritiesr feel that this course will be satisfactory to Great Britain and the other powers. With such assurances it will make the Knight Commander and the Thea cases much easier of adjustment. Chasing a Steamer. London. Aug. 6. The Dallv Illustra ted Mirror says that two Russian cruis ers have just left the Baltic sea and are chasing a steamer which left Eng land July 30 for Canada, carrying am munition for Yokohama by way of the Canadian Pacific railway. No Battle at Liao Vang. St. Petersburg, Aug: 6. Military offi cers think it unlikely that General Kuropatkin is giving battle at Liao Yang since this would involve the abandonment of the stores, totaling millions of pounds, accumulated there and would be almost as bad as a gen eral defeat. The Fight at Slmoucheng. Simoucheng, Manchuria, Aug. 6. There was heavy fighting here for two days. The Japanese commenced the attack at dawn on July 30 with a long range rifle fire on the Russian right. The Russians wasted no ammunition in replying to this fire and the Jap anese brought a mountain battery to their support. They then moved for ward in order to secure a better range, the infantry racing across the Rus sian zone of fire to secure a post near er to the ridge on the Russian right. Many fell during the advance, but the remainder gallantly pressed on and got the cover of the ridge. The bat tery followed, galloping; forward reck lessly as well as the .nature of the ground permitted. There was no fault to find with their shooting from the new position from which they concen trated their shell and rifle fire on the Russians, compelling the latter to fall back 150 yards to better cover. A battery coming to the support of the Russians turned the tide of battle and silenced the Japanese guns, four of which were dismounted. The Jap anese then retired from their position and with the remainder of their forces attacked and pressed other points of the Russian lines, creeping up through the kaloin fields to within i 400 yards of the Russian trenches. They lost heavily. The Russians, how ever, did not suffer except from the extreme heat. Towards evening the Russians tap ped the Japanese heliograph com munication and found that the Jap anese were preparing or a nans movement. Lieutenant General Zas- silitch extended his flank companies and headed off the movement. General Mishtichenko had a not frerht on the Russian flank. His cav alry attacked the Japanese, inflicting heavy loss and retiring safely to its former nosition. The battle was resumed hotly on the mornina- of July 31. The Jap anese tried to envelop the Russian left, but they were met by a division of a brigade posted especially in ex pectation of their movement and were driven back with loss. Call It Discretion. St. Petersburg, Aug. 6. 12:56 p. m. The Novoe Vremya today published a leading editorial entitled "The Discre tion of the Washington Diplomats," which says: "This is all the more agreeable as the Washington state department has not always observed such judiciousness when dealing with Russia." "This time." the editorial continues, "Secretary Hay, according to the dis patches, has taken the consideration of the seizure of American goods bound for Japan with circumspection, endeav oring to avoid raising side issues and keeping in view the sole object of rs-surins- nrotectlon for American trade in the far east to the extent permitted by international law in time of war. Mr. Hay has taken a praiseworthy step in sounding the powers through the Amer ican representatives abroad regarding the seizures instead of forwarding a brusque note to Russia through the American ambassador here. This leads us to hope that no serious misunder standing will arise between St. Peters burg and Washington. America is chiefly interested in our declaration that food stuffs are contraband, and the Washington government seems not especially inclined to insist on the ex clusion of all food stuffs as contraband, only insisting that food stuffs to be contraband must be destined directly for the use of the military forces of a belligerent. It may not be difficult to convince Washington of cases in which food stuffs ostensibly intended for pri vate persons can pass into the hands of the military after being delivered to private persons, or better still, per haps the diplomatists may be able to suggest some method guaranteeing that food stuffs shall not pass to a bellig erent force. The editorial concludes as follows: "In view of the considerately dis creet handling of this question and the manifest desire of both sides to avoid exaggerating It to another 'incident.' it is possible to bring both points of view into accord." Russia's Reply. St. Petersburg, Aug. 6. 4:30 p. m. Russia has communicated to the United States the decision of the Vladivostok prize court August 4, in the case of the Portland and Asiatic line steamer Arabia, captured by the cruiser Gromoboi of the Vladivostok squadron July 22, confiscating such (Continued on Page Six.) FUfJSTON SNUBBED Order Sending Him to New York Is Revoked. lie Will Command Department of the Lakes Instead. NOT UP TO STANDARD. Army Officers Objected to ilim on Social Grounds. General Fred Grant Will Go to Governor's Island. Washington, Aug. 6. General Fun- ston will not be in command of the De partment of the East, as successor to General Corbin, who is now on his way to the Philippines, as commander of the forces in the islands. General Frederick Grant is to succeed General Corbin.and he will have his headquarters at Gov ernor's island. General Funston is to go to Chicago as commander of the De partment of the Great Lakes. The shift in the commanding officers of these two departments caused a sen sation in army and political circles. Mr. Taft, the secretary of war, had been to the White House, where he con ferred with the president. He return ed to the war department and issued an order revoking the one issued a month ago sending Funston to New York and Grant to Chicago. He fol lowed this with another order designat ing General Grant as commander of the Department of the East and Gen eral Funston as the head of the Great Lakes division. The unexpected change in assign ments started the tongues of army gossips to wagging. One of the most persistent rumors which gained wide publicity was that General Funston could not meet social requirements of Governor's Island. The army officers at that post form a most exclusive set and are alleged to have entered their protest against General Funston through influential persons in the offi cial set. KENDRICKJ3URNED. Business Portion f Idaho Town De stroyed by Fire. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 6.

Greenwald's Clothing Store Is Destroyed. Value of Goods Wat $10,000. About PARTIALLY INSURED. Only a Little More Than Half Covered. Commercial Club and Other Business Men Losers. THREE FIREMEN HURT. Uoseman Ledden In a Serious Condition. Miss II agar and Mr.FIgg Slight ly Injured. D. J. Greenwald's clothing- store in the Curry building at 625-637 Kansas avenue was almost totally wrecked by fire which originated In the basement of the building, probably from electrlo wires, and was discovered at 6:22 Fri day afternoon. Splendid work by the fire depart ment, together with good water pres sure and two terrific streams from one of the new steam fire engines, stopped the conflagration and confined the loss almost entirely to the basement and first floor of the building, in spite of the fact that at one time the Elliott building on the south and the Sun derland building on the north were afire on the roof. The total loss on all the buildings. offices and stores at all injured by the nre win De about S50.000. of which the Greenwald loss will be $40,000. Practically all the losses are covered by insurance except Greenwald's, who had only $22,000 Insurance. Three terrific explosions of the gas generated by the fire, exactly like those which occurred at the outset of the Baltimore fire, were what caused the fire to spread with such tremendous rapidity from the basement. Three firemen were injured. They were E. V. McClure. No. 2 chemical, burned and cut about the face and hands. Hoseman Ledden. of No. 4 company. overcome by smoke. Truckman K. K. PInkston. No. 3 truck, hands and face cut by glass. Mcuare was th first man to enter the building. He was lowered through the coalhole at the front, and had gone about 50 feet into the building with the chemical line when the first explos ion occurred. He was knocked down and had to be dragged out of the build ing and carried across the street to a doctor's office, where he was revived, and insisted upon going back to his post. He stayed with the fire till it was out. Hoseman Ledden was In such serious condition that he was under the care of two doctors all night last night. Pinkston s injuries are flesh wounds which will heal rapidly. Miss Jennie Hager, bookkeeper for the Greenwald company, was overcome by smoke and had to be carried from the building by two of the clerks. Sh went back to her desk, after once get ting safely out of the building, for the purpose of saving some of the books and papers. Charles Flgg. one of the clerks win helped carry Miss Hager out, sustained a bad cut on the leg from a big pane of glass which fell out of the front door as he was helping Miss Hagar through.

Handsome Cash Consideration Goes With the Deal. Three Cornered Affair Which May InrolTA Sebring. Cincinnati. 'Aug. 6. Mike DonHn's fate has been decided. He was last night traded to the New York Nation als for Fielder Harry McCormick and a handsome consideration. President Herrmann would not say what the amount was he received from John T. Brush besides getting Player McCor mick, bat tt can safely be stated that the sum was up in the thousands. If Jimmy Sebring is released by the Pitts burg club he will be signed by Cincin nati and McCormick turned over to the Pirates. That was the three-cornered deal closed last night by the head of the Cincinnati club. Donlin. who is In town, when inform ed of the trade last night, appeared to be perfectly satisfied, although he would not talk on the matter. President Herrmann says that he wants to see Donlin succeed in his new position and hopes to see McCormick make good in Red land. "I did not close the deal for McCor mick until I was sure that I could get Sebring in case he was dropped by Pittsburg." said Mr. Herrmann last night. "I had a, talk with Barney Drey fuss on last Sunday and he gave me his word that If Sebring was released he would be turned over to the Reds. I called him up in New York to make are that he had not changed his mind, and when he told me that bis promise stood good I at one closed with New York for McCormick. I do not care to aay what amount of money figured In the trade, but both sides are satisfied With the deal." McCormick has been making good with the bat In New York and as fax as known was popular with the Gotham fans. He batted with a vengeance when New York played here this sea son and made a very good impression locally. His only fault is said to be weak underpinning. His legs are weak, but his eye is good, and he has a better fielding average than the man whose shoes he is asked to fill on the Cincin nati team. Over since Donlin's suspension a month ago in St. Louis for drunkenness the local fans have been wondering what would be the result of his banishment from the Red field. Rumors of all kinds have been float ing around and several deals for the play er were on. Philadelphia wanted him, no did New York. President Herrmann saw a chance to better the team by taking Js'ew York's offer and Donlin will be come a member of the team that repre sents the biggest city in the league and who are now leading the National league race with prospects bright for them to land the pennant. Donltn was secured by the Reds from Baltimore by Manager Kelley. He is a handy man with the stick and for a time led the Cincinnati team in batting. He will, OO doubt, make good under the caret id .-eye of John J. Mc Graw. Donlin yesterday put In several hours firactlclng at the League park and will eave in a day or so to join the Giants. Jimmy Sebring, who becomes a Redleg in the event of Pittsburg giving him his release, is at present under suspension by the Pittsburg club. He did not leave with the Pirates when they started east, and for some time has been at loggerheads with Hans Wagner, who was captain ot the team until a few weeks ago. Harry McCormick was easily the star of the Eastern league outfielders last year, and it was predicted that he would make frood anywhere. In the Eastern league ie took part in 122 games and his aver age, .3, was the best in the league. He took part in 123 games, made 172 hits. 10& runs, 8 sacrifice hits and stole 25 bases. He played right field for the Jersey City team and his average for that end of the game was .925. He played right field in li!l games and out of 1ST chances he miss ed but 14. This year he took part in 47 games with the Giants, covering center field, and his batting average at the last output ot" dope was .278. which puts him twenty-ninth on the list. Behind him at that time was Sebring, Odwell, Brown, Mertee and Dah len of New York, and a bunch of others who are looked upon as sluggers. He made Just 47 hits, one for each game in which he took part, and stole 11 bases. His fielding average is .S26 and Donlin's .891. He scored two long three baggers in one game here. All season he has been hampered by trouble with his legs and it these had not been at fault he would no doubt have done still better. He is a left htwded batter and stands well at the plate and can step down to first at as lively a clip as the best of them. Says World Trip Is Xo Joke. New York, Aug. 6. Frank Selee, manager of tHe Chicago cubs, in dis cussing today the proposed trip around the world, said: "This world's trip is no Joke. My players want to go and so do L It strikes me there never would be a better time to make such a journey than the present win ter. Conditions are more likely than they have been In years." Racing; at Saratoga. Saratoga, Aug. 6. Six overnight events on Friday's card showed sev eral good fields and some interesting racing, though no remarkable features were noted except close finishes in three races. Green Crest, from the stable of T. It. Hitchcock, president of the local racing association, won the third race, a mile selling, by four lengths. Considerable money was taken from TAilE HOTBGE This Is to certify that Dr. Geldvell's LAXATIVE opsin has not outsold any remedy off the kind, because there IS NO remedy of the kind.

Flying Ship's- vietory In the first race was by a short head. Shrine cut out the pace In that event and was Just nosed out at the finish. The success of Dr. Keene's Augur in the second race was also popularly applauded. Augur won only by outstaying St. Bel lane in the last 10 yards. Waterside showed the way, but tired badly to ward the end. Keynote proved himself a strong fin isher in the fifth event, barely beating Conkling in a neck and neck finish by three-quarters of a length. Mirthless, the favorite, might have won the last even had she not swerved badly near the end, finishing close to the outer rail. Cotillion was a length and a half ahead under the wire. THE FAXS ARE ANGRY. Jimmy Sebring Says Dreyfuss Told Him to Quit. Pittsburg. Pa., Aug. 6. Nothing since the. wholesale raid made on the Pittsburg team by Ban Johnson of the American league has aroused the fans of Pittsburg so much, as the desertion or suspension of Sebring, the popular and hard-hitting right fielder. 'mere are two stories told. Presi dent Dreyfuss says Sebring deserted the team, while Sebring says Dreyfuss ordered him to quit, and he did so. He says further that -he will demand his immediate release and play indepen- aent ofui as soon as bis ankle gets well. The first trouble between Se bring and the club owners came to St. Louis during the first visit of Pittsburg there. Bucky Veil, who was Sebring" s right-hand man and most intimate friend, had a fist fight with.. Tommy Leach, in which the man now manager- in Clark's place -waa badly whipped. The fight took place in a St. Louis 110161,' and after It, was over the players took sides on the matter. and a faction sprung up. Sebring de clared himself for veil first, last and always, and he quickly made some enemies in the team, and matters grew no better when Veil was released out right by the Pittsburg club some time later. Sebring declared himself without gloves on the situation, saying there were worse players than Veil on the team and high in favor. He said that if Leach had whipped Veil that his pal would never have been released, but would have been given a good chance. This came to the ears of Dreyfuss, and there was trouble. In the first game with St. Louis here last week, Sebring and Wagner almost came together. Sebring made a' pass at the Dutchman on the bench, but was stopped. BIG BACK FOR STAGG. Cy Garnett the. Latest Football Find for Cliioajro. Chicago, Aug. 6. Another promis ing recruit for the Maroon- football team has been unearthed in the ranks of the Midway students now attending summer school. He is Cyrus Garnett, a 185-pound fullback, and also one of the leading tennis players in the west. Garnett has been attending the Rockefeller school Tor- a year now. having entered last fall, but with the exception of the freshman-sophomore football game last fall, refrained from donning his moleskins, on account of parental objections. Now, however, he has succeeded in removing all ob jection and will make an effort to cap ture a place on the Maroon team. Garnett is fast on his feet, exceed ingly active for a man of his weight and is an ardent enthusiast in, the great college game. He has never played college football, but has a good reputation as a high school player. He is a Chicago boy and played on the South Division high school team during his prep school days. A year ago last fall he went to the University of Wisconsin and was a member of the Badger sauad for two weeks. He is said to have made a most favorable impression on the coaches and stu dents and would have secured a berth on the cardinal team had he not been requested by his parents to quit the game. Great Race in the American. Chicago, Aug. 6. Jimmy Collins and Fielder Jones are having a great race for first place in the American league. Each is leading his team at top speed in the hunt and so far the advantage has come to neither. It is nose and nose, with no outlook for any immediate change. Both Boston and Cleveland are known as stronger on the road than at home. In Boston Cleveland trounces the Plymouth Rocks. In Cleveland it is reversed. That is what Boston has been doing to Ar mour's Blues this trip. So have the White Sox from Washington and the result is that these two topnotchers are in about the same position they were when Comiskey's men left Bos ton last Saturday night after having taken three of the four games played there. Point by point the White Sox have been creeping up on the Plymouth Rocks, although both have been win ning steadily. Hutchinson Race Matinee. Hutchinson. Kan. Aug. 6. The larg est crowd of the year attended the Gen tlemen s matinee at the fair grounds Friday and the races were good for young animals. Some of them were on the track in a race for the first time. Squaw Weaver won in straight heats the 3-year-old pace, making the half in 1:18. The free-for-all pace went to Gay field, making the mile in 2:20. Laura Luck won the 1:10 pace, making the half mile in 1:09. Genuine won In straight heats the free-for-all trot, do ing the half in 1:15. Major Del mar Breaks Record. Poughkeepsie. N. Y.. Aug. 8. Major Del mar broke the half-mile record at Hudson River driving park, going the distance in :5!H. He broke his world's record of 1:01, made at Memphis on October 23, 1902. Concordia Gun Club Dates. Concordia. Kan., Aug. 6. The dates for the Interstate Association's trap shooting tournament to be held in this city this fall have been fixed for Sep tember 28 and 29. The tournament will be under the auspices of the Concordia Blue Ribbon Gun club. There will be twelve purse events each day and the local club will add $200. A large crowd of expert trapshooters is expected. Racing t St- Louis. St. Louis. Aug. fi. Lady Charles. Y.ida. Xeversuch, Floral Wreath and Woodlands were the winning favorites of a good card at the fair grounds. Floral Wreath got the verdict by a head from Frank Bell in the feature; Ynda was iriven first money because Willowdene, which ran first, fouled him 100 yards from the wire; Never such outclassed his field and Wood lands was much the best in his race. Hanlon After Corbett. Brooklyn. Aug. 6. Ed Hanlon, manager of the Brooklyn team, said today that he would retain Joe Cor bett, who. by his release from his con tract with the St. Louis club, has been placed on the reserve list of the local club. "Corbett is in poor physical condition," says Hanlon. "I will hold on to him. and with a few more good players, I expect to form the nucleus to a team that will win the pennant some day. Hanlon's expectations of getting Corbett must have been formed with out consulting the latter in the mat ter. Corbett left here with the un derstanding that he would be allowed to go to work on the coast, and if he is not able to do that he will probably give up baseball. Corbett stated posi tively while here that he would never go to-iwork for Hanlon again under any consideration. McCOY,MAY FIGHT MUNROE. Hoosier Says Match. Will Be Pulled Off In Salt Lake. Chicago, Aug. 6- Anticipating a breaking off of the Jeffries-Munroe match because of Follok's opposition to Eddie; Graney for referee, the Shamrock Athletic club of Salt Lake, according to Kid McCoy, who passed through Chicago on his way to Utah yesterday afternoon, is planning for a Munroe-McCoy fight the first week in September. McCoy astonished Jo.ial figlt fans by his statements, claiming to have received .telegrams f rom r' both the Shamrock club and Pollok to the ef fect that the match is as good as made. Close of the Buffalo Meet. Buffalo N. Y.. Auk. 6. Buffalo closed its most successful grand circuit meet ing in years with another gooa crow a and sharp racing at Kenllworth park. Thi future rrf the circuit in Buffalo is assured and the reorganized Buffalo Driving club is talking of J10.000 stakes and other features in comparison next season. Friday before the first heat or tne 2:10 -pace Ben F. sold as favorite over the field in pools of J50 to 32 and made good, winning two straight heats in fair time. The 2:14 pace was a good contest and Snow had his hands full getting Black Hal home. Baron Grattan, the Cham ber of Commerce winner at Detroit.was a favorite in pooling at $50 to $15 be fore the first heat and was even favor ite after Black Hal had scored the heat. It was 110 to 18 before tne tnira neat. but Black Hal came along and nailed the heat and the race, furnishing an other upset in a meeting which has been noted for the downfall of the favorites. The Electric City purse or o,uoo tor the 2:11 trot was a stirring event. Sweet Marie was first in the summary, but three horses had each won a heat and every victory had been hard fought. The day's card was rounded out witn a wagon race, in wThich. three local horses. Waubun, Topsy and Dormeath competed. Topsy, driven by George E. Lattimer, of the local club, won two straight heats.

Pitcher Fox and First Baseman Fox have been chased by the Wheeling club. Muggsy McGraw is searching the lower regins for something to say in reply to Ban's roast. The Boston Americans awoke just at the moment they were to be "touched" for first place. Nick Altrock. of the White Sox, leads all American pitchers in shut-outs, with six to his credit. The Cincy Reds feel themselves slip ping into fourth place, while the Pir ates are ready to move up a peg. Two games now stand between De troit and St. Louis. Good chance for the Tigers to work out of seventh place. Boston does not play in Chicago until next Wednesday, when the first place issue will be decided for awhile. Jacobsen pitched another pretty game, but -no team can expect to win when it makes fewer hits than its op ponent. The White Sox stand a good chance of winning the pennant with some of the men the Washington club should have. Kelly's Reds have only 19 more games to play on the home grounds. Their chance of staying in third place is rather slim. "Perk" Kennedy, once a Brooklyn star pitcher, has graduated from the Piqua (Ohio) team to the Wheeling club of the Stogie league. If there is to be no world's champion ship series of games, why not arrange a battle royal for the Brooklyns, Phil lies, Bostons, and Senators? Pittsburg wants an outfielder or two to relieve their disabled regulars. Web erfield Langley- would fit in nicely if they could keep him awake on the bases. The Athletics are two points behind Cleveland, and Mack's pitchers are in fine shape. Cleveland has played poor ly at home recently and may be in an other slump. John Flanagan broke his own record by throwing a hammer 173 feet. John McGraw expects to beat that by throw ing one from New York and hitting Ban Johnson in Chicago. Major League bair clubs will give Texas a wide berth hereafter during the training season. Some of those who went there last spring still feel the malaria microbes working in their sys tem. Jack Carr made five hits in five chances at the bat Sunday for Indian apolis against Louisville, two of which were three-baggers. Bill Reidy, late of Brooklyn and elsewhere, was the victim in the box. $45.00. To California and Return via the Santa Fe. The twenty-ninth triennial con clave. Knights Templar U.

Ball SPECTACULAR PLATS Were N umerous and Errors De cided It Few. Both Pitchers Bo Excellent Work In "the Box. Every electric light in the halo of the Saints was going at 16 candle power Friday afternoon. With luck to the right of them, with luck to the left of them, onward they thundered for 13 hair-raising innings, and finally beat Hurlburt Gets One Oft the Fence. the Iolites by a score of 4 to 3. It was a weak-kneed finish for an otherwise brilliant game. With the score 3 to 3 the Saints came to the bat in their half of the thirteenth. After Shinners flew out to right field. Cole walked to first. Schraut hit for two bases and Cole went- to third. After Hurlburt had struck at two of Root's sizzlers, Cole started to steal home. Seigle caught the ball wide of the plate but tagged Cole and the umpire called him out, The Celestials rushed on the field to dispute the decision. The Iola players got tangled up in the argument to a man. While this pow-wow was- at its height Big Dr. John iSchrant slowly lumbered nome with tne winning run no one noting him until he had crossed the plate. "It is just simply the worst I ever saw," said Dud Risley as he or dered his Gaslighters to embark on the street cars and get back to the city, Seigel Gets Under a High Foul. The most amusing side of the game was Umpire Collins. His announce ment was positively the funniest thing which could be devised. After twisting his face into a series of convolutions that looked like an old-fashioned doughnut, he opened his mouth to the most rasping bellowings which ever bombarded the grandstand on any baseball field. After this job was com pleted he did not march out on the field with orders to "play ball," but meandered up to the press box, strut ting like a turkey, and informed the reporters that "That is the way we do it where I come from." "Where is that?" laughed the reporters in uni son. "Kansas City," replied his umps with horrifying dignity. Mr. Wilson Refuses to Take the Um pire 'at His Word. Just why President Shiveley resur rected him is of course a matter cf wonderment. He was on the :taff last year, but Shiveley, according to his own statement, let him go because of in temperate habits. Collins plays to th3 grandstand. He was bad on balls and strikes, but worse than that changes a decision af tet it once Is made. He seems to think more of the amount of noise he can produce than of what his decis ions look like. In the tenth inning he came close to be being made a chop ping block. White made first on Jimmie Frick's error. Friel drove out a three-bagger sending him home. At the throw-in Seigle dropped the ball and Friel tried to come in. Seigle recovered and Cx AMtfOTOUT. threw the ball to Root who killed Friel before he touched the nome nlate. at lenst so the umpire decided. But grandstand and players alike went after the umpire with chunks or aDuse. The right field bleachers swarmed upon the field and began to make the air blue with invective. Collins went over there to drive them back off the field. While engaged In this occupa tion, one over-enthusiastic fan, who hadn't signed the reserve clause for good behavior, went up behind Col lins and walloped him a good stiff jolt in the medulla oblongata. Of course his umps filed protest. He cleared his wishbone, by untangling himself from his chest protector. He tried to square off, but to keep him from getting hurt, a number of the' players from both sides got around him and took him out on the field. Meanwhile Sheriff Bert Lucas and Special "Detective" Whltteker got busy and chased the crowd back. After holding a few post mortems over the affair with the play ers at the home plate, "his umps" finally started the mill again, and there was peace and harmony in the atmosphere. Oleson Gets His Man at Second. Had there not been so many side show features to the contest, the press dispatches would have tersely de scribed the game as a pitchers' battle between Jack Root and Tom Hughes, in which the latter got the better of the argument, because of better sup port. Both of the boys were in high class trim. Their style of pitching is much alike. The Iolites got ten good ones off Hughes, while the Celestials only measured five off Root. Tet ev ery time the Saints started the dynamo' into action, ana connected it to their bats, there was something doing. Such luck as Topeka had was a revelation. A streak of that kind running through a month or so would soon hurry this town along in the "standing" column. Abbott, without question, played the stellar role on either side. He alone made -two runs. After Hurlburt got to first on bases in the second inning, Topeka's captain -whaled out as pretty a three-bagger as ever bumped the sod, and then put a climax on his feat by stealing home-plate right under Jack Root's nose. And throughout the contest the big ex-pirate worked like The Meek" and Lowly Umpire. a beaver and was doing- a rushing- busi- sition, may stay.

Where they play Sunday: Iola at Topeka. -Fort Scott at Joplm. Sedalia at Springfield. Pittsburg at Leavenworth. The Topeka management has Just about decided upon what will prove to be its worst mistake of an already dis astrous season. President Sheard says that he will not make an effort to get players for next year until ths schedule is played out, so as to avoid any infringement of the rule that managers shall not "dicker" with players on another team. What is the. matter with doing It through a mid dle man, if Sheard and his confeder ates are so conscientious? One of th best managers in the league wants to come here next year and states that he can bring four or five of the best players on the circuit with him. Their names would be enough to satisfy any one on the subject. While naturally he dares not disclose his desires to ths) public, for his own Job first, and for' general baseball ethics, who doesn't the Topeka management wake up and go after him? "We have to go slow ly," and "Give us time," and "Wait a while," don't go down the throats of the fans any more. Now is the time to build for next year. That is what the other clubs are doing. The other day the Springfield Leader discussed at length what the other teams in th circuit are planning, and then wound it all up by saying that Topeka has done nothing so far, and intends t do nothing until the season Is over, so far as getting men is concerned. Players get on to these things. They are looking for berths next year. And if any one of them is offered a Job I a good town at a decent salary for 1905, you can Just bet h won't turn his back. Wake up! President Sheard cracked the rich est Joke of the season today, and what made it funny was that he was serious. "I don'-t want a pennant winning team." he said. "It spoils baseball in i a town, because the fans think you I ought to have them all the time. Look what It did to Sedalia. I don't want any of that in ours." Whoop-ee: Captain Dud Risley of Iola says that Topeka has a great ball player in "Spec" Hurlburt. The two played in the same team at Spokane two years ago. Liming, Just deposed from the Saints, says that since Tie fell on Washburn field while trying to catch a high fly, he has not been able to see properly. The bad blow which he received on his head affected his eyes. A week later while, playing at Joplini, he says that the sun completely blind ed him for a little while and made the ailment worse. He attributes his slump in form to that accident. Lim ing will go to his home in St. Louis and give up ball playing for the re mainder of the year, and get in shape for next season.

The Gaslighter twirler is considered one of the best on the cir cuit. The transferring of games away from Iola because of bad grounds at that place again started a story that the team would be taken to some other town, probably Kansas City, still this year. The story gained considerable credence, but President Tholen of the Iolites made a statement Thursday which ought to effectually put a damp er on all future gossip of that nature. "There is absolutely nothing In it." said Mr. Tholen. "I can't understand why people persist in circulating such reports. I said that I would carry the team through to the end of the season if it cost me J3.000 and I intend to keep my word. The attitude of some of the people is beyond my understand ing. I transferred the Springfield games because the grounds were In such a condition that they could not be played here. Of course we could have played the Joplin games here but I received a good offer from Joplin to play them there and in view of the fact that Teceipts had been poor here during the rainy weather I did so. Any body else would have -done the same thing. There will be no more games transferred. The only games I could transfer now would be the Springfield games and it is not my present inten tion to transfer those." The pennant race In the American league Just now is one of the prettiest in the history of baseball. Five teams are fighting for first place and within tha last thrM ilova tKA uiuereni teams.

Mrs. Julian Love Adopts That Plan in Endeavor to Commit Suicide. Fort Scott. Kas.. Aug. 6. Mrs. Love a hard working woman who washes and wife of Julian Love, an old broom maker, who resides at S30 South Main street, made an unsuccessful attempt to take her own life by jumping into the well at their home. Trouble with her husband, who is said to be a worthless fellow, is responsible for her attempt nt self-destruction. The poor woman has been doing about six washings every day on an average, and had worked herself almost to deith providing for her family. She went to the well while her hus band was at home and plunged into it. Fortunately the well was not very deep or she would have been killed by the fall. The well is 15 feet deep and contained about eight feet of water. Her husband, seeing what she had done, jumped in after her and succeeded in keeping her head above water until assistance came to them. About a year ago the woman attempt ed to commit suicide by swallowing poison, but she was saved by the doctor. LIKES WESTERN KANSAS. Kort Scott Man Purchases 800 Acres in Kearny County. Fort Scott. Kas., Aug. 6. Fred MeCreedy, who has been in the gro cery business at the corner of Mar grave and Fifth streets for many years, has just returned from Kearny county. Kansas, one of the western tiers of the state, where he pur chased 800 acres of grazing land. In the course of time he will move on to it and go into the cattle raising busi ness. Mr. MeCreedy is very well pleased with that country, and while he says the land needs considerable attention before it will be productive, he believes that it is the best soil in the state. His ranch is on the Ar kansas river, six miles north of Lakin, the county seat, and is surrounded with many nice farms. The land is taken care of there by irrigation. As an illustration that the land can be made productive he cites an in stance. Some years ago a poor man purchased a large tract of land and set it out in fruit trees. Today Mr. MeCreedy says that man's check is good for $30,000. and he made it all on the farm. He will this year pick about $2,000 worth of apples. Water melons, cantaloupes, alfalfa and other crops are raised there readily. Mr. MeCreedy will put some of his farm out in fruit trees and will save the rest for grazing land. He intends to go into the cattle raising business. He does not intend to leave Fort Scott for the present and will remain here until the land is better improved.

This morning the chief of police re ceived a letter from Mrs. May Tarbet, the wife of Hugh M. Tarbet, of Sedan which bore the information that she had him arrested at Caney and that he was In jail on the charge of big amy, and that his bond was fixed at $500. Several days ago, the officers here received a letter from Mrs. Tarbet, which asked them to find her husband if possible. The letter also told an interesting story to the effect that she and Hugh M. Tarbet had been married for about six weeks and that thev were at their home in Sedan on the night of July 10, when a strange man and woman came to the house and asked to see her husband. The strange woman remarked, when she saw larbet: I ve got you at last, Hugh, you might as well come out." He went outside of the house and af ter a conversation of some minutes returned to the room where Mrs. Tar bet was sitting and told her he would have to go away and that he could not stop to explain matters but that it would be all right. At the time she wrote the first letter. Mrs. Tarbet had not neara from her husband for sev eral days and was asking the police here to locate him for her, believing mat ne migm nave come back to Ar kansas Uity. She stated in the first letter that the woman and Tarbet drove to either t-eru or caney that night. She also was of the opinion that the woman naa some sort of hold unnn her him band and that she had threatened him wun arrest. She also said that she was sixteen years of age and since she was deserted had returned to the home oi ner mother. The local police did all thev criH to investigate the case and found that aroei naa lived here with a woman no was supposed to be his wife. This iniormauon was supplied to the Mrs. May Tarbet and she evidently found mm at caney and caused his arrest upuu mac mrormatlon. Tarbet was quite well known here. He represented a Chic.ae-o mmir hr,.,. and made this city his headquarters. There will be a number of Arkansas City people subpoenaed to the trial. Kansas city Traveler. A TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.

Scheme May Kerolutionize Rail roading in the East. Gosdp and Matters of Interest in Railroad Circles. Chicago, Aug. 6. The Vanderbilts are said to be planning to equip the West Shore railroad with electricity and to adopt this motive power for the Niaga ra Falis and Lew is ton branch, the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg and the Oswego branch of the New York Central. The plan includes the construction of a power house at Niagara Falls to cost $24,000,000. This power is to be created by a company known as the Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power company, which is said to be controlled by the Vanderbilt-Andrews syndicate which recently purchased two electric roads. W hile the Vanderbilts thus are pre paring to supplant steam with electric ity, J. F. Deems, superintendent of mo tive power for the entire system, is said to have perfected an invention which will enable locomotives to attain an efficiency of service amounting to 91 per cent instead of between 25 and 40 per cent as at present. The invention is said to eliminate the cylinder and piston rod and to apply the power di rectly to the axle of the locomotive, the wheels being given four impulses of steam per revolution. RAMSEY IS TRAINMASTER. Santa Fe Re-establishes the Office at Chanute. Chanute, Kan., Aug. 6. The office of trainmaster on the southern Kan sas division of the Santa Fe has been re-established and at midnight last night J. C. Ramsey assumed the du ties of the office. This office was abolished when C. J. Short resigned the position several months ago and instead of appointing a man to take his position, an assistant superintend ent's office was created. Wisenand was the last assistant superintendent on this division and that has been a few years. The division has needed a trainmaster for some time, as As sistant Superintendent Raymond had more than one man could attend to. The officials of the road have been discussing the re-establishment of the office of trainmaster quietly and It was decided to be essential. Mr. Ray mond will have charge of the exclu sive duties of assistant superintendent, and Mr. Ramsey will have the regular work of the trainmaster's office. j The choice of Mr. Ramsey tor tne office met with the hearty endorse ment of all of the trainmen on the division. He is known to nearly every trainman on the road for he has been n the service of the banta e com- for nearlv twenty' years. He has the honor of having had charge of the first train ever pulled over the Gi- rard branch and has been a conauctor on that branch since then. The GI- nrH n9.wnr run is consiaerea to be the best run on the entire division as it pays well and allows the train crew to be at home for every meal and every night. He is not the oldest conductor on the division, but those nM.r than be are satisfied with other runs. He knows the train business; from start to finish and will be at home in the office of trainmaster. DODDRIDGE DITCHER AT WORK. Missonri Pacific Undertakes Big Task in Gradins for Drainage. Atchison, Aug. 6. A Doddridge ditcher will today be put to work on the Missouri Pacific between Atchison and Shannon. This machine does the work of fifty men. The apparatus is built on a car and the power is fur nished by an engine. A giant plow works out from the side of the car, and it can be set to plow a furrow two feet deep. Attached to the same car is a scraper which will hold five wag en loads of dirt. The plow plows up the earth and the scraper picks up the loose dirt and dumps it wherever de sired. It takes only three men to operate the ditcher which takes the place of fifty laborers. The big plow is operated by one man sitting on the car, and compressed air from the lo- comotive i3 used to manipulate tne plow. The invention is so easily worked that if the plow strikes a stump or rock the operator can shake it loose with as much ease as a farmer operating a light farm plow. The Mis souri Pacific intends to excavate ditch es ten feet wide and three feet deep through all its cuts from Atchison to Omaha. During the wet weather the earth slides down the cuts and covers the track. The ditches will remove this trouble. It will take from now until cold weather to complete the Job, as there are fully fifty cuts be tween Atchison and Omaha. The ditcher was constructed under the su pervision of W. B. Doddridge, for merly general manager of the Mis souri Pacific, and this the reason that it takes his name. Rock Island Gets Another. Des Moines, Aug. 6. There is little doubt here that the Rock Island rail road has purchased the Newton Northwestern, a line running from Newton through Boone to Gowrie. A few days ago a party of Rock Island officials went out in a special car over the new road and immediately there after the president of the Newton road directed the stoppage of pro ceedings for condemnation of right of way at Newton to connect with the Iowa Central branch. The new road would connect the Rock Island over its own tracks with the Gowrie-Sibley THE To cure a weak stomach is to take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at the very first symptom.

An order was is sued yesterday by the Northwestern railroad that no freight cars suitable for carrying grain be allowed to leave the company's lines. The management has been concentrating its cars in the northwest for some time in anticipa tion of the crop movement, which latest reports show will be so heavy as to tax the system's transportation facilities to the utmost. "We believe that the crops along our lines will be equal to tnose or any year, if not larger than ever before, said a traffic official of the road. "Our equipment is increased this year by 1,000 box cars of 80,000 pounds ca pacity each, but even with this addi tion we cannot afford to let any of our grain carrying cars go to other roads until after we have cared for the crops in the northwest. "The crops along our lines more than fill our original estimates," said a traffic official of the fat. Paul system. "Barley and rye have been harvested and the yield was excellent. The wheat crop was fair. The corn crop will be the largest In ten years. Crops may be short, as J. J. Hill says, along the Great Northern, but they are not along the St. Paul system." Santa Fe officials have full reports of crop conditions in the territory tributary to their road, from which they conclude that there is no reason to change the estimate made some time ago of the wheat yield of Kansas, which placed the crop of that state at 65,000,000 busneis. .Nothing can now occur to lower this estimate, since the wheat is harvested, and the Santa Fe figures, if erring at all, do so on the side of conservatism. The outlook for corn Js encouraging, indicating the best crop ever produced in Santa Fe territory. The only uncertain factor at present is in connection with the packing house strike, which, if long drawn out, is liable to have considerable effect on earnings. The Santa Fe has fully recovered from the effect of the June floods, and barring the strike uncertainty every thing looks favorable for a year of good business. A PROSPEROUS TEAR. Santa Fe Railway Makes Good Show ing Tliis Year. The Santa Fe rounded out the best fiscal year in its history with its June statement, showing an increase of 14 per cent, in gross earnings and in crease of 32 per cent, in net earnings. The increase in gross for the fiscal year amounted to $5,810,803, or 9 per cent., while the increase in net, after deducting taxes and rentals, amounted to $1,852,604, or nearly 9 per cent. Fixed charges for the year were in creased by the issue of $10,000,000 general mortgage 4 per cent, bonds last fall, but were decreased by the retirement of $2,500,000 4 per cent, se rial debentures. The annual report therefore should show an increase in interest charges of not more than $300,000. The surplus for the shares will con sequently show an increase of about $1,550,000 for the year. Added to the share surplus for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1903, $13,898,329, this makes total share surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, about $15, 450.000, which is equivalent to 5 per Cent, on the $114,199,530 preferred stock and 9 per cent, on the $102, 000,000 common. ENDS FIGHT ON MERGER. Pere Marquette Syndicate Buys Stock of Dissatisfied Shareholders. The preferred stockholders of the Cincinnati, Hamilton Dayton rail road have been appeased by the pur chase of their stock at $110 a share, and nothing now threatens the sta bility of the merger of the Cincinnati, Hamilton Dayton, Pere Marquette and Chicago, Cincinnati Louisvile railroads. While no official statement has been made as to financial details of the plan. It is understood that the Cincin nati, Hamilton Day-ion leases the Pere Marquette upon a basis of 4 per cent, for the common stock this year and 5 per cent, per annum after this year. It is also understood that con trol of the Pere Marquette was ac quired on a basis of Cincinnati, Ham ilton Dayton bonds and' common stock of a par value of $125 and mar ket value of $110 for each share of Pere Marquette stock. Russell Harding, as president of the Pere Marquette and vice president and general manager of the Cincinnati, Hamilton Dayton and the Chicago, Cincinnati Louisville roads will make his headquarters in Cincinnati, and George E. Cumming, chairman of the board of directors, will have head quarters In New York. Mr. Hard ing's salary will be $40,000 a year. TO THE COAL FIELDS. Work on New Santa Fe Branch Is Progressing. Santa Fe, N. M., Aug. 6. J. R.

Moss, No. 73 Congress St., Troy, N. Y., Deputy Grand Chief Ranger Foresters of America, writes: "Two years ago I suffered with a kidney trouble. I was a physical wreck, and life looked very gloomy, but Pernna came to my relief and made a new man of me, and now life looks very different and I gladly testi fy to the merits of Peruna, hoping that some one who is afflicted will read this and be cured." Henry E. Moss. A person who has chronic catarrhal difficulties and has not sriven Peruna a. fair trial is unfortunate indeed. To1? be afflicted with chronic catarrh and not try Peruna is as foolish as to have the old fashioned chills and fever and refuse to try quinine, or to have a broken bone and not allow the doctor to set it. Peruna has come to be so universal ly recognized as a specific cure for catarrhal affections, acute or chronic, that it is amazing that any one should continue to suffer on with such a per sistent malady, neglecting to take a remedy that is sure. A Diplomats Letter. Dr. W. Godfrey Hunter, U. S. Min ister from Guatemala, ex-member of Congress from Kentucky, in a letter from Washington, D. C, writes: "I am fully satisfied that your Peruna is an efficacious remedy for catarrh, as I and many of my friends have been benefited by its use." W. G. Hunter, M. D. Peruna makes diseased mucous membranes healthy, whether it is the mucous membrane lining the nose, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pelvic organs. recent floods in Arizona, stated that the temporary repairs will be suffi ciently concluded by tonight to allow the passage of trains. In the mean time traffic, both east and west, is practically suspended, the west-bound trains being held at Kingman and the east-bound at San Bernardino. It is expected that trains will be delayed about $12 hours. No estimate of the damage caused by the floods has been made by the company, but it will be very heavy. FRISCO MOVES HEADQUARTERS. Engineers' Department Taken From Springfield to Fort Scott. Fort Scott, Kas., Aug. 6. H. S. Mitchell, division superintendent for the northern division of the Frisco, stated this afternoon that headquar ters of the same company would be transferred from Springfield to this city about October 1. The matter has been definitely settled. It has been found impracticable to use the- Kling beil building near the depot for the offices, and the company has decide to put up a building. Work on the construction of the same will be start ed right away. All of the office force of Mr. Spencer, including Mel Camp bell, a former Fort Scott boy, will come to Fort Scott to live. Speaking of the transfer, the Springfield Leader has the following to say: The offices of these six engineers were centered here last May, as a part of the reorganization of the Frisco force according to the Rock Is land way. At the time it was consid ered a little strange that they should all come to Springfield, but it was claimed that they could from this cen tral point be within easy reach of their respective divisions. Another reason given was that a Joining of their offices and forces of clerks would be more economical. The present change is made so that each engineer may be n the center of his operating division. These officers report to C. D. Fur don, engineer of maintenance of way with headquarters at St. Louis. Their removal makes as radical a change in the maintenance department here as was recently made in the motive power department by the removal of clerks to Mr. Nettleton's office in St. Louis. With the division engineers about fifteen clerks will go. The Santa Fe to Tulsa, I. T. Tulsa, I. T., Aug. 6.

Santa Fe Makes Extra Low Rate From Missouri River to Texas. The Santa Fe railroad has an nounced four special homeseekers' ex cursions to Oklahoma, Texas and the Indisn territory. The dates of these excursions will be August 9 and 23 and September 13 and 27. t On these dates the fare from the Missouri river and intermediate points to all stations in the Indian territory and Oklahoma and practically every station in Texas will be $15 for the round trip.

Professor of Music, Vocal and Instrumental, Me rango ,Iowa, writes: "With my manifold duties, I ant often compelled to resort to medicine in order to keep up my health and strength, and of the many remedies I have taken all have been found wanting except Peruna, and that seems to fit the requirements of my case exactly. A deranged Uver and bad stomach, combined with li.-s of appetite and sleep, will soon tell on any system, and mine was no exoep- Otion to the rule. "However, Peruna soon proved to me that it was the medicine and put me on my feet In a fortnight.. I am enthusiastic in Its praise." Prof. O. N. Williams. The day was when men of promi nence hesitated to give their testi monials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so Justly famous, its merits are known to so many peo ple of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name In print recommending Peruna. Peruna is of national fame as a ca tarrh remedy. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession.

DONT WANT THE CIRCUS. Limits of Kingman May Be Changed to Shut Out a Show. Arkansas City, Kas., Aug. John McFall, state cattle inspector, stationed here, has Just returned from a business trip connceted with the cattlemen's pic nic, to be held in Kingman, August 30 to September 2. He Is treasurer of tha Park and Driving association of King man, which gives the picnic as an an nual event. The association has had trouble before this year with shows that go to Kingman during the picnic and take advantage of the crowds l.hat would otherwise devote their time to the picnic. A short time ago an advance agent for a circus arrived in Kingman and took out a license for the appearance of the circus September 2, the last day of the picnic. A number of members of the association appointed a com mittee to call upon the advance agent and demanded that he surrender the license. After a war of words he gave up the paper. He then declared that the circus would give a performance anyway. He leased a 40-acre neia on the edge of town from a farmer, ana went on his way. In a few days the council will hold a special meeting and take that field into the city so that the city officials may have Jurisdiction over it. The members of the association have also decided that if this does not prevent the appearance of the show. they will forbid the circus using the streets for a parade. IT IS A LOTTERY'. Tobacco Trust's Guessing Scheme Placed Under a Ban. Albany, Aug. 6. The court of ap peals has decided that Ismar S. Elli son, publisher of the United States Tobacco journal, violated the anti-lottery section of the penal code of New York in publishing in his Journal an advertisement inviting competition in a contest to determine the amount of revenue tax paid on certain brands of cigars for cash prizes. The court in this decision reverses the appellate di vision, first department, which affirmed an order of the Bpecial term discharg ing the relator from custody. The opinion of the court of appeals is writ ten by Judge Cullen, who after set ting forth the fact of the advertise ment which was published by the Florodora company, says: Doubtless the purpose of the Floro dora company in establishing the sys tem of competition for prizes detailed in the advertisement was to increase the sale of its various brands of cigars. For that purpose it would be Justived in using any innocent or legal method to attract customers and even legisla tion could not under the guise of en acting a police regulation, interfere with its liberty; But the prohibition and regulations of gambling in all forms and lotteries of every description are unquestionably valid exercises of executive power and if the scheme established by the ad vertiser was in effect a lottery the fact that the dominant purpose was merely to increase the advertiser's business does not save it from condemnation." His conclusion Is that the contest was a lottery.

4 THE TOPEKA STATE JOUtlNAIi, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST, 6, 1904. RAILR0ADW1NS. Referee Ferry Decides in Faror of Kock Island. CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE Chairman Cowherd Makes Announce ment of the Members. McCartbj and Kelcliardt Failed to Establish Their Claim. $100,000 INVOLVED ControTersj Orer Tajment for 41 Miles of Grade. Taking of Testimony Requires Three Months' Session. L. S. Ferry, referee from the Shaw nee county district court in the suit of McCarthy and Reichardt, contractors, for a Judgment of $134,000 against the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado Railway company, the Missouri branch of the Rock Island, on Friday afternoon reported to the attorneys interested in the case that he had allowed th contractors 130,400 of the amount sued for. To this sum the railroad company had made confession. The decision was a distinct victory for the Rock Island the Judgment being more than $100,000 less than the amount sued for. McCarthy and Reichardt are railroad contractors from Little Rock, Arkansas. They had a contract to construct 41 miles of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado railroad, beginning at Union, Mo., and working west. They claimed In their petition that Chief Engineer U. L. Marvin of the Rock Island road had under estimated and under classi fied the work done, they being paid but 13 cents per cubic yard for eurtn exca vation. 85 cents for loose roost excava tion and 65 cents for solid rock excavation. John McClure of Little Rock, and Rossington, Smith and Histed were the attorneys for the plaintiffs and W. i Kvuns aud J. W. Gleed tor the defend ant. The suit was filed December 13, of last year, and is the largest which has ever been before the Shawnee county district court. Juee Hazen appointed L. S. Ferry as referee and he has spent almost three months in taking testi mony. The evidence consisted of over 2.600 typewritten pages and when bound made eight complete volumes. J. R, Wick was the stenographer appointed bv the referee. It appears from the testimony that there were differences Between con tractors and the railroad engineers con cerning the estimates. Several times outside engineers were called in to make "tnird party classifications, but it was impossible for the interested to reach an agreement. After that mat ters came to a standstill for a little while, when the railroad confessed Judgment to $30,000, for an error in es timating grubbing and clearing, but this too failed to settle the controversy. The case then came into court and a request was made for a referee. L. S. Ferry was appointed. The contractors charged Chief Engi neer Marvin with being incapable. This Is the court's conclusion on that point: "That no evidence has been produced in this action sustaining the charge in plaintiff's petition that said Chief Engi neer Marvin was incapable, inefficient or unfair, or that he was incapable by reason of old age. physical infirmities, prejudice or unfair disposition to prop erly and fairly perform his duties as chief engineer of said railroad company under the provisions of said contract." In placing Judgment upon the whole matter. Referee Ferry substantiates the railway company's estimate by the con clusion thus: "The final estimate and certificate of said Engineer H. L. Mar vin .is correct as except as to the cler ical error showing the clearing and grubbing, and shows correctly the classification and quantities of earth, loose rock and solid rock excavation made by said plaintiffs under said contract."

Booth Charlesworth was adjudged in sane in the probate court Friday. He is suffering from melancholia,. I At Its last meeting, the claims and accounts committee of the city coun cil turned down the claim of Deputy County Treasurer John M. Wright for 30, and this Incident, small in itself, threatens to develop into another bone of contention between the city and county. John Wright's bill, which the city has refused to pay, was as follows: To work on compiling record of lo peka city funds from the records of the county treasurer and county clerk; "April 19 to 23, 24 and 25 to 80. "May 1 to 3. $30." Thpfesentation of the bill, at the July meeing of the claims and ac counts committee, was a surprise, ana the committee laid it over because they did not know anything about it. It came up again at the August meeting of the committee, and a peculiar state of affairs was developed. William Green told the committee that Mr. Wright had agreed to get up a complete list of all the delinquent taxes due the city, and had, as he un derstood it, agreed to do the work free of cost. Wright says this is all a mis take, and that his proposition w-aa to 'to the work at the rate of S3 a day. The committee took Green's word for it, and disallowed the bill. Before Mr. Green became chairman of the ways aad means committee there had been some talk of getting such a record, and spme eouncilnien had received from John Wright an offer to compile the book for $3 per day. This offer was declin ed because it was thought the city was too poor to afford it. When Mr. Green was eiectea, one oi his first moves was to look up the ques tion of city finances. He found that he needed to know how much money the city has "coming" to it from de liquent taxes. He went down and had a talk with John Wright. Would Mr. Wright make up the record? Yes, certainly, would be delighted. All right, go ahead. That was about the sub stance of the agreement. Nothing was said about money. Wrieht apparently assumed that he was merely closing up the $3 a day deal. Green thought Wright was doing the work to be ac commodating and through personal friendship. There is nothing in tne state law which requires Wright or any other county official to furnish the informa tion asked for by Mr. Green. It was merely optional with Wright whether he should do it or not, and it looks a little as though he should have re ceived pay for his work, which was really of a great deal of value to the city. But here comes a sequel to this lit tle misunderstanding. On Thursday the State Journal printed this item: "The work in the county clerk's of fice has become so heavy that that office will hereafter demand correct work on the part of the city officers. "In the past the city clerk has certi fied to the county clerk property for taxation under certain ordinances. Later some errors would be found and the request would be made for the property listed by error to be taken off the tax rolls, tiereaiter worn much nmncrtv is to be taken off the tax rolls the city will have to bear the expense of the clerk hire to ao mat work." It is said that this indicates that the county officials have come to the sup port of one of the "gang" and will make the city pay well for its refusal to allow John Wright's bill. It will charge the city enough for "extra clerk hire" in correcting the city clerk's errors to offset the amount which the city saved at John Wright's expense. At least that is the way some of the city officials look at the case. This action or tne county, nowever, is a reflection on City Clerk Squires, who makes up the city special tax rolls. It Indicates that he is not as n-i refill as he should be. Consequent ly, Mr. Squires is on the war path, and makes some decidedly interesting re marks about the way business is con ducted by the county clerk and county treasurer. He says: "They have taken a big contract, those court house fellows, when they commence to talk about our inaccura cies. People who live in glass houses should be more careiui. i want to tell one incident. A man I know eon trolled a farm of 80 acres a few miles from Topeka and had been paying taxes on it regularly for some time. One day a party came around to him to get some information about the farm, and in the course of the con versation, the agent discovered that the other man had a tax deed to the 80 acres issued by the county! An in vestigation followed, and showed that according to the county records, there had been no taxes paid on the property for three years, whereas the agent had all the receipts for taxes for the same three years. How was that for inac curacy? I know that story is true be cause I was the man that was agent for the SO-acre farm. "We find again and again that the county is charging up pavement tax against some man who has paid his tax in full. The man always comes storming up here to find out about it, when he discovers that he is being charged double, and we have to hunt up our records and convince the coun ty authorities they are wrong. "As far as charging off the errone ous assessments made by this office is concerned, it does not take half an hour's time for the county every year. If they charge the city with clerk hire for half an hour a year, I guess there will be no objection." DEVILS LAKE LANDS. President's Proclamation Opening the Reservation to Settlement.

Flowers were advocated as a cure of consumption by Dr. Frances Bartlett in a paper which she read before the Bo tanical society of Pennsylvania at the University of Pennsylvania last night. "Why send consumptives and suffer erers to Colorado to benefit by the cli mate when we can bring that climate into their homes by the simple expedi ent of having growing plants in their rooms?" was the gist of Dr. Bartiett's remarks. Her paper was on "Flowers in the Sickroom," and in part she said: "Growing plants, and especially od oriferous flowering plants, are of the greatest value in the treatment of the sick. As long as the plants are kept moist they will diffuse moisture, and they undoubtedly have the power to produce ozone. Some plants will va porize the atmosphere to the amount of three times their own weight in a day. In this way the atmosphere of a sick room can be made of the greatest ben efit. The only dangerous plants to place In the sickroom are those which give off unpleasant odors. Care should be taken, however, not to keep cut flowers in the rooms at night. They throw off carbon dioxide, but during the daytime the amount of oxygen they produce neutralizes the harixrul effects. "The chief cause of colds is found in the habit of going from heated buildings into the cold street. If peo ple could only be prevailed upon to maintain an equable temperature and humidity by having plants growing in their homes and places of business the danger of taking cold would be prac tically eliminated." In a paper on "The Flowers' Best Friend" Dr. C. C. Schmucker paid strong tribute to the bumble bee. "Upon this abused insect's distribu tion of the seed we are almost abso lutely dependent for our crops of clo ver," he said. "You must have no ticed that the first crop is always much smaller than the second. That is because early in the year the bees are abroad in much smaller number than later." -Philadelphia Press. ever became diseased by Imbibing the milk of this animal. In Mexico, where I live for a long while, it is a common thing to see the children of country people sucking goats, and nobody ever eaw a youthful Mexican afflicted with consumption. "What ought to be done is for our government to take up this matter In the public interest. The suppression of tuberculosis Is certainly of national concern. It should be ascertained what breed of goat is best adapted to the various sections of the United States and all questions relating to the care of the animal, the value of Its milk, etc., should be investigated. In Germany there are over $3,000,000 goats from which the milk is con stantly taken, and an extra fine animal often has a market value of from $400 to $500." Washington Post. PAPER NAPKINS ABE CHEAP. Two-Colored Affairs Made In Thl Country for 30 Cents Per Thousand. TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD. "Just Swim Around and See the Presi dent," Said the Mate. The following story is told of the mate of an English bark now lying in port. The vessel was unloading in Nor folk about a week ago and the mate ordered one of the sailors, a negro, to execute an order. The negro was somewhat slow in carrying out the order and the mate cursed him round ly, as mates often do. To the mate's astonishment the negro, who was a new hand, stopped short in his task and said: "Don't yo' talk ter me dat way, man. Yo' aint in Englan' now. DIs is er cullud man's country, en dere's a man at Washington who looks out fo' us folks." The next moment the mate swept down upon the negro like a tidal wave, seized him by the collar and the afterpeak of his trousers and threv him over the rail into the water. As the negro came to the surface spluttering and kicking the mate roared at him from the deck above: "You blankety-blank-blank! Now, you Just swim down the James river, turn to your right and go up the Potomac to Washington and tell that man there all about it." The negro did not act on the advice of the mate, however, but swam ashore and tried unsuccessfully to set a warrant for the mate's arrest. Bal timore Sun. Goafs Milk. "The greatest reform that could be introduced into this country from a sanitary point of view would be the substitution of goats' milk for cows' milk," said Mr. A. H. Henning, of Chicago, at the Raleigh. "It Is reckoned by expert investi gators that 10 per cent of our popula tion dies of consumption, and that much of this is produced through the medium of the cow, which is affected in the same way. cannot be doubted.

This proportion is constantly increasing, and now Ameri can paper napkins are exported to Europe. Some of the napkins produced in this country are printed with designs Japanese in character, but the great bulk are original in every way. They include napkins printed with various flowers, which are reproduced with fi delity to nature, both In drawing and in color, and which are also In many cases arranged with most artistic ef fect upon the paper. And then there are napkins with re productions in color of playing cards, and others with the flags of various nations. And then there are napkins upon which are printed yacht flags and napkins printed with music and napkins printed with other designs There are still other napkins that are plain white, without ornamentation, ami then there are napkins printed with soma simple design in one or In two colors, and there are napkins with a pattern emhox e1, and napkins wfth a border printed with a pattern in gold or in silver, and gold and silver are used u!r nn n the napkins printed in colors to enhance the decorative effect. These napkins are, in short, produced in scores of styles, many of which are ar tistic. In fact, to anybody who had novnr seen one, the sample book of an Ameri can manufacturer of paper napkins would be a surprise. Some American napkins are sold for less than any Imported, while some of the finest cost more.

I took treatment for constipation of seven years' standing and I have tried seven doctors without any relief, with out a big dose of salts or pills or drugs once a day regular, and it seemed the longer the worse, until I tried Prof. Larson and I have taken no physic since, and the present indications are that I won't have to, and I am proud of it. A good big tablespoonful of salts don't taste well every morning before breakfast. My other troubles were stomach trouble. rheumatism, sciatic rheumatism and lame back. My stomach is getting better. My back is well. In fact I am better all round than I have been in live years. When my seventeen treatments were taken, I did not feel a great deal Improved, but Prof. Larson told me I would get better right along and so I did. I think any man or woman not too old will never regret a course of treat ments. I have spent over $1,500 for doctors and medicines in the past eight years. Prof. Larson did not cure ev erybody in and around Salina. Some take longer than others. I myself had taken half the course before I felt any change outside of constipation. If and I need treatment. I will sure go ty him for he is the best I ever met yet. and wherever his treatment took hold it goes ahetd. Yours truly. "JAS. W. MASON." Us, But We Have Remained Suffered Continuous Pain.

I received more benefit than from any thing else that I have tried. He les sened the pain and the limb Is better and sore healed some, and hasn't got any worse since I quit. My treat ments were taken under many diffi culties, for I was so far from Salina and was on my feet so much. I think Prof. Larson is honest in his work and a gentleman. "MRS. M. E. SAUNDERS."

I have had pains in my side and rheumatism in mv back w-hich I have had for twenty three years. All have left me. As to his work In Salina, Prof. Larson has helped his patients to a great extent.

Chronic Constipation Cured. This letter is from a young man employed In the shipping department of the Lee Hardware company of Sa lina: "Salina. Kas., Dec. 18, 1903. "I have taken treatment under Prof. J. Austin Larson for stomach trouble and constipation, both of long stand ing.

Llndsey com manding, when the rest of the boys were troubled with diarrhoea, since taking the course of treatments under Prof. Larson, my bowels are regular and I seldom miss a regular time each day, which is something remarkable and lias not been the case in lour or live years previously. My stomach Is better also, and I think that if I take care of myself and follow Prof. Lar son's instructions carefully that I will obtain a permanent cure.- My future condition I feel depends on myself very largely. I believe that Prof. Larson Is honest and honorable in all his business and professional dealings. He does not claim to do miracles, but does what he says he can do.. I have no hesitancy In recommending Prof. Larson as a healer, a gentleman and a business man. Very truly, "J. H. KING." Benefit Through Difficulties. The following letter is from a man who drove twenty-two miles each time he took a treatment of Prof. Larson. His trouble was asthma, a disease which displays its worst features in the winter and is never benefited by long, cold drives. In spite of the draw backs attending his treatments and the treacherous nature of his trouble, he obtained benefit and the improvement has continued since stopping the treat ment, the best possible proof that where Prof. Larson's treatment takes hold, improvement continues until a cure is effected. In fact, many of his greatest cures were effected after the close of. the course of treatments. The letter follows: Gypsum, Kans., Jan. 21, 1904. "The Daily Call, Beloit, Kans.: "Gentlemen I took treatment from Prof. J. Austin Larson for asthma. I am not cured, but was greatly bene fited, and am improving slowly even now and believe that if I could have had things arranged more favorably while taking treatments that he would have effected a permanent cure.

The writer of the following letter began taking treatments of Prof. Lar son just six days before he left Salina and got such good results that she regretted having delayed so long as to be unable to take a full course: "Salina, Kan., Jan. 19, 1904. "The Daily Call: In answer to your questions concerning Prof. Lar son's work here in Salina, I will say that from all the personal testimony that I have heard given, everyone seemed well satisfied with bis treat ment as a healer and that he is a good man.

I only took six treatments believe now should have taken more although my stomach is much improved, also my heart works better and a lame back is considerably relieved, (which was the result of a hard fall s6me years ago.)

These answers were kept on file for some time at the office of the Daily Call for the unrestricted perusal of the general public. The Investiga tion of the permanency of the work done by Prof. J. Austin Larson at Salina was conducted by the Daily Call with a view to ascertaining the truth for the protection and benefit of its readers. The nature of these replies I had no power of predicting, and I frankly acknowledge my surprise at the number who wrote to me. an unknown third party, several months after they had taken treatment under Prof. Larson, that they were cured or materially benefited and continuing to improve In health. As these letters united In their praise of Prof. Larson as a man of honesty and integrity, and a healer of rare power, I have turned the letters over to him to use as he sees fit In the future. His work in Beloit has been eminently satisfactory and has resulted In ma terial benefit to a very large per cent of his patients.

I wish before closing, to say that Prof. Larson has given perfect satisfaction and that some of his cures seem to bo little less than miraculous.

The Sviet which formerly was ex tremely anglophobe but which latterly has shown a tendency to avoid the subject of Russo-British relations, this morning prints a bitter onslaught against Great Britain on the subject of the steamer Malacca and other re cent incidents, charging Great Britain again with seeking to balk Russia, saying that she is taking advantage of Russia's situation to irritate her as much as possible and also to press for ward in Thibet, Persia and Afghani stan.

The paper says it is extremely difficult to draw the line, once the prohibition of war food supplies is breached but it expressed the hope that it will be possible even in the face of the difficulties existing, that some way may be found of meet ing the wishes of the United States in this direction. SMUGGLERS, BUT INNOCENT. Two Men Realize a Handsome Profit in a Cocoa nut Deal. The slabs were empty and business was dull one Saturday night in the morgue and Deputy Coroner Charles ileehan grew reminiscent. "I'll never forget how near I was to getting into serious trouble without having the slightest suspicion of it," he said as the humorous crows' feet at the corners of his eyes opened and closed like fans. "It was some years ago and I and my chum. Bill Smith, were out of work, business being dull In the plumbing line. Well, we took a rowboat along Meiggs' wharf one af ternoon just to kill time, when Bill ees lot of things like cocoanuts a-floatin' onthe water. He sticks in his oar and he pulls in half a dozen. They were strung together just like beads, and we cut open one of the cocoanuts to see what was lnisde of them, and we dug out a little .square tin with a Chinese labeU on it, and when we open it we find a lot of black stufT that smells like opium. "They must have floated in from some shipwreck,' says Bill, and we goes after the rest of the cocoanuts that were floating around till ve got all in sight and fill up the bottom of the boat with them. Well, we Judges that ther must be $40 or J50 worth of opium in the load. Instead of cocoanuts, we find that the tins had been wrapped in papers full of Chi nese characters, so that they'd float in case of shipwreck. So we take the stuff to the wharf and packs it to a vacant house on Ore gon street and puts it under the front steps. Then we buy a couple of pack ing boxes, dumps the nuts into thein and puts them under the steps again. We take a can as a sample and go up to Chinatown, and they direct us to a Chink, who examines the stuff and tells us he'll buy all we have of it lr we bring it to his store. Well, we hire an express wagon, put the boxes on board, sit uo on the seat with the driver in broad" davlisrht and ride past the cus tomhouse into Chinatown. I had no idea that the stuff was smuggled and was thrown overboard to be picked up by- somebody on watch, or I wouldn't have been on that wagon ror ooo. wen, to cut a long story short, how much do you think the Chinaman offered us? You could have knocked me down with straw. He says: I give you $l,7a0 for the lot. Not worth any more than that.' And he gave us the money in $20 gold pieces. "I suppose you Invested the money," susrested one of the hearers. "Invested? Well, that's what you call it. We didn't do a lick of work for a year. But we'd a' gone to the pen if the customs officers had caught onto that wagon. They'd a' had us dead In the door, and we as innocent as babies." San Francisco Call. 30 YEARS IN OFFICE. For the First Time In That Period Judge Parker Is Not an Official. Esopus, N. Y., Aug. 6. Judge Par ker reached home just at 8 o'clock last night and retired early. For the first time m nearly thirty years he is not an official. Alton B. Parker ceased to be chief judge of the court of appeals of New York at 3:30 p. m. Friday by handing in his resicnation after a two minutes' qczinti nf rnurt In whlph he and five lumouihwi. (uuiua. .uum troduced each one of his associate judges. In his own room, which he has occupied so long, he stopped and looked out of the window to the dis tant hills across the Hudson. His voice trembled perceptibly as he said: "This room, boys, was mine." Slight emphasis on the word "was" gave the first actual indication to reporters of his intention to resign. Returning to the consultation room, he took a long envelope containing his resignation from a pocket and, turning to Buell C. Andrews, an official of the court, said: "Andrews, will you do a kindness for me? Just take this down stairs and file it w-it hthe secretary of state." Judge Parker spent the remainder of the afternoon in conversation with his former colleagues in the court. He refused to make any statement or comment in connection with his resig nation beyond saying: "It speaks for itself." His fellow judges were not so reti cent, and each one had something to say, all testifying to the esteem in which they held him as a jurist and man. Judge Celera Martin, whose service i3 soo nto expire by reason of age, voiced the sentiments of all the court when he said: "We all regret very sincerely that the necessity has arisen to separate the members of the court. Judge Parker takes with him from the court the good will of every member of it and the profoundest respect and regret. I could say nothing bad if I tried, ex cept that he is a Democrat. If he were a good Republican I tell you, he would be an ideal fellow." Judge Parker spent a quiet but busy morning after the events of yesterday. He arose about 6 o'clock fully refreshed from the weariness which he confessed last night. After breakfast Judge Parker went into his library, and concentrated atten tion upon the very large correspon dence which has accumulated during the last few days when he has devoted all his spare time to his speech of ac ceptance. Later he went for a horse back ride with Mrs. Parker. It was said that no visitors were expected to day. Why He Didn't Know. Judge Jonathan Dixon of the su preme court of New Jersey has a habit, well known to old practitioners before him, of asking three questions of counsel arguing at the bar. The first one is usually simple, and the lawyer answers carelessly; the sec ond one is a little more drastic, and the respondent replies with trembling uncertainty; the third is bound to be a poser fraught with humiliation. On one occasion Richard V. Linda bury of Newark was presenting a case to the court of errors, and when the first question was innocently pro pounded, he said: "I don't know." "Don't know!" cried the judge. "Why don't you know?" "Because I haven't heard the other two questions." said the wily advocate. New York Times. George Klauer Arrested. The police found a stray case of Ro chester beer at Gwrge Klauer's place of business this morning. The raid was maiie at about 11 o'clock. George promised the chief shortly afterwards that he would re main good and was very desirous of act ing good, but he wanted the police on their side to refrain from taking the beer which he used for private purposes.

This stock was worth about $40,000. It cost a good deal more than that, but allowing a margin for deprecia tion, it was worth at least that amount." Mr. Greenwald had ia basement full of his winter stock of clothing and underwear. A lot of new winter underwear had Just come in and was standing in the store unpacked. There was also a piano stored in the base ment of the store owned by Doc New man, county clerk. Mr. and Mrs. Greenwald's personal wardrobe of win ter wear was also packed in the base ment, together with a large number of rugs from their house. Origin of the fire. Fire Marshal Wilmarth made a careful examination of the basement of the building this morning, and af terwards made the following statement to a reporter for the State Journal: "The fire originated about midway of the basement, and in the ceiling. There is no doubt that it was a ceiling fire, and this indicates that electric wires were the source. The wires lead ing to the front windows came in through the back end of the basement, I The Rear of the Store Where and were fastened to the wooden ceil ing boards of the basement. There was a furnace in the mid dle of the building, and a bin for waste paper near it. Had this been full of paper, and caught fire, it might have blazed up to the ceiling and produced the effect of a ceiling fire." It is rather a peculiar coincident. however, that Chief Wilmarth made a slight examination of the basement Friday morning. Some dry goods boxes piled in the area way back of the Greenwald store took fire Friday morning, and the fire was extinguished by men who work at Hall's Lithograph establishment. Chief Wilmarth was called, and ordered that the boxes in the area way be removed, and neatly piled up, and this was done. He passed through the basement in going to the area way. He says: "I did not see any paper piled up in the basement at the time, and Mr. Greenwald tells me that he is sure there was no paper there. There was no gasoline in the basement, and prob ably no escaping gas. Neither was there any known source of fire." Discovered by Clerks. The clerks in the store were stand ing near the front of the store, and had not been back to the rear part for some time before the fire occurred. At about 6:20 Al Hulett, the head clerk, suggested that it was time to lock up. He went to the back part of the store and as he passed the stair way leading down to the basement, saw puffs of smoke coming up from below. He rushed down, and says: 'I discovered that the whole central part of the basement was afire. I ran up, sent in an alarm, and Cliff Carl and I went down and tried to throw some water on the fire from buckets. It was going too fast for us, and when we came up the base ment stairs, the flames were on both sides of us." One of the clerks threw the safe door shut, and turned the combination. By the time the fire department ar rived, the store was so full of smoke that no fire could be seen, even in the basement. A few moments later, the first of the terrific explosions occurred. The fire men say that it burst out the windows at both ends of the building and car ried witn it a great rush of smoke and fire. The instant after the explosion, it seemed that the whole interior of the big store, upstairs as well as down, was a roaring furnace. Two other explo sions in the basement followed the first at intervals of a few minutes. Sent In General Alarm. The first alarm was received at 6:22. For a few minutes Chief Wilmarth hoped to hold- the fire without calling for help, but when the explosions caused the fire Jo apparently burst out once, he gave it up, and at 6:40 sent in a general alarm, and called out the new- fire steamer. It is the first time the steamer has been in service. It was stationed at the fire cistern on Seventh street. In addition to the two streams from the steamer. Chief Wilmarth had five direct pressure streams on the fire fin a few minutes. All did good work. Chief Wilmarth, with Lieutenant Hanlon were working on the roof. As sistant Chief Babcock directed the work at the front of the building, and Capt. Robinson was in the rear. Ezra Rob inson was in charge of the steamer. Capt. Gilman of North Topeka handled one of the steamer streams. At just 8 o'clock the fire was entirely out. Fire Marshal Wilmarth said this morning: "The water pressure was very good. It was ample for this fire. It might not have been sufficient for a seven story building, but In simple jus tice to the water company, it must be admitted that we had all the pressure necessary for this fire. I think that anyone who examines the conditions will have to admit that we made a very effective fight. Had those explo sions not occurred, we would certainly have held the fire within the basement. As it was. we practically confined it to the first floor. The work done by the steamer was all that could be asked. It was a beautiful sight to see it work. The other streams were very effective.

There is a large skylight located on the roof of this one story portion. -Almost directly under the skylight Is-the stairway leading down into the basement. The appear ance of the building indicates that when the explosions in the basement occurred.the fire was hurled up through this stairway and burst out through the skylight. This gave it entrance to the rear windows at the front part of the building, which is three stories high. The result was that the rooms at the rear of the Currv building were consid erably damaged, while those at the front suffered little or nothing. The skylights on the roofs of adjoin ing buildings both took fire, and the skylights in the Jenson studio next door were broken out, but the work of the firemen was so prompt that the dam aee was very slight. Most of the dam age in adjoining stores was from smoke and water. The exterior of the buildings shows no effects of the fire. Trie only thing to indicate that any fire occurred is the boarded windows at Greenwald's and the crowd standing around the front of the Fire Was the Most Fierce. the place. The following is the record for fire pressure, as shown by the gauge at fire department headquarters, which is not very accurate. The gauge at water works office gives readings about five pounds higher on about half of the readings: 6:22 35 6:40 67 6:24 SO 7:15 65 1 6:2b' ...80 7:20 70 6:27 S3 7:25 70 628 SR 7:30 75 6:29 85 7:35 100 6:30 85 7:40 80 6:31 7 7:45 35 6:32 70 7:50 0b 6:33 7o 8:0u. 55 6:34 62 Mr. Greenwald "Is one of the oldest merchants in Topeka. He has been in business in the city ever since it be came a place of importance. He is one of the most active men in Topeka where the interests of the city are concerned and has been an officer of the Com mercial club ever since the organization was started. The disaster is a serious one for Mr. Greenwald and he feels the loss very keenly. BOOKS AT DAWN OF HISTORY. Every Civilized Nation Early In Pos session of Art of Writing. The oldest books in existence are doubtless, those of the Babylonians; but the great permanency of these is explained by the material of which they are composed, and it does not neces sarily follow that they were the first books to be made. We know that the Egyptians employed a papyrus roll from the earliest historical periods, and that the Hindoos made their palm-leaf books at a very early day In short, ev ery civilized nation is discovered at the very dawn of its history in full pos session of a system of bookmaking. It is impossible to decide the question as to whether one nation borrowed from another in developing the idea of bookmaking. Limiting our view strictly to the his toric period, we find, as has been said, the five types of books in general use. We have now to consider briefly the distinguishing characteristics of each of these types before going on to note the steps of development through which the modern book was evolved. First let us give attention to the papyrus roll of the Egyptians. As has been said, this type of book was em ployed in Egypt from the earliest day of the historical period. As is well known, papyrus is a species of primi tive paper the word "paper" being, in deed, a derivative of "papyrus" which was made of strips of the papyrus plant placed together to form two thin lay ers, the fibers of one crossing those of the other, and the whole made into a thin, firm sheet with the aid of glue and mechanical pressure. The strips of papyrus were usually from eight to 14 inches in width, and from a few feet to several yards in length. This scroll was not used, as might perhaps have been expected, for the in sertion of a single continuous column of writing. A moment s consideration will make it clear that such a method would have created difficulties both for the scribe and for the reader; therefore the much more convenient method was adopted of writing lines a few inches in length, so placed as to form trans verse columns, which followed -one an other in regular sequence from the be ginning to the end of the scroll.

(Continued from First Page.) part of the cargo as was consigned to Japanese ports. The foreign office is carefully considering the objections raised abroad in regard to Russia's list of contraband but no decision has been reached. From what the cor respondent of the Associated Press can gather while the desire is to avoid irritating neutral powers as much as possible in regard to the Russian declaration on the subject of food stuffs, it is pointed out that when the list was published no power objected, Great Britain not raising even a for mal objection until several months had elapsed. Russia's position, as stated to the Associated Press by an official who speaks by authority, is as follows: "Food stuff consigned to an enemy's port in sufficient quantity to create the presumption that it is intended for the use of the government's military or naval forces is prima facie contra band and sufficient to warrant holding it for the -decision of a prize court. Even if consigned to private firms, the burden of proof that it is now intend ed for the government rests upon the consignor and consignee. If it can be proved that it is intended for non combatants It will not be confiscated. Small consignments of food stuffs in mixed cargoes will be considered pre sumptively to be regular trade ship ments and will not be seized as con traband." Russia has not yet replied to Great Britain regarding the latter's protest on the subject. Notice to Foreign Vessels. Washington, Aug. 6. Mr. Griscom, the American minister at Tokio, has notified the state department that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces in Manchuria deems it neces sary that foreign war vessels should not either enter Yinkow or anchor therein until order has been entirely restored in that region. SLAUGHTER. OF JAPANESE. Is Reported in a Dispatch From Rus sian Headquarters. St. Petersburg. Aug. 6. A dispatch to the Bourse Gazette from Liao Yang says that another great battle has been fought in tne neighborhood or iiout siatze, on the railroad about 14 miles west of Liao Yang in which the Jap anese losses are estimated to have been from 10 to 13,000, and the Russian losses insignificant. The dispatch to the Bourse Gazette, which is dated Thursday evening, says: "There has been fierce fighting, Tuesday, Wednesday and today. The Japanese made a vigorous attack on the center of the Russian position at Houtsaitze. The enemy was 54 bat talions strong, 36 of which were reg ular troops and the balance reserve men. General Kuroki employed the reserve men in the attack while the regulars carried out the feints intend ed to delude the Russians. The re serve men attacked with desperation. Their ranks were decimated by the Russian fire each time they advanced but the vacancies were quickly filled up with fresh men. The Russians ul timately slowly retired to suitable po sitions, whence they inflicted great losses on tne Japanese by heavy ar tillery nre. the Japanese losses are estimated at 10 .to 13,000 men. The Russian losses were comparatively in significant." KANSAS FAIRS IN 1904.

Hogs Are Fire Cents Up in Kan sas City. Chicago, 111., Aug. 6. WHEAT General commission house selling on lower cables, liberal receipts, improved weather condi tions and bearish crop advices from Man itoba caused weakness in wheat today. September opened ttVAc lower, at 96S! 97c, sold olf to S6c, and then rallied again to 97c. Receipts were 233 cars, against 217 cars a year a-to. About the middle of the session the market experienced considerable strength resulting from active covering by shorts. The cause of. the renewed demand was a message from a prominent trader now m Minneapolis stating that the wheat crop in the northwest was in a critical condi tion. On the upturn September rose to 97c. Another reaction followed on profit taking, the market closing easy with Sep tember at 97&97c. CORN Under the influence of the break in wheat tho corn market was weak. September opened 3c to &c lower, at 514451c, sold up to 6252c, and then reacted to 51c. The market responded to the bulge in wheat, September advancing to 52&62c. The close was fairly steady, with Septem ber off a shade, at 52c. OATS Oats were governed by the ac tion of other grains, the market ruling easier, with only light trade. September opened &c lower, at 33&33c, selling later at 33c. PROVISIONS Provisions were weak in sympathy with grains, there being con siderable selling by pit traders. Septem ber pork opened 5c lower, at $12.72, and declined to $12.57; lard was off 2c, at $6.87, later the price sold down to $6.82 4j6.85; ribs were unchanged, at $7.62.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1904. 7 POLITICAL GOSSIP Some of tb Tasks Befor Kan as Managers. How to Get Out the Stay at Home Yots. MAN Y SPOILED BALLOTS Fusionists Lost Bulk of 25,000 In 1900. Soma Interesting Figures About Past Elections. One of the chief tasks before the po litical managers in Kansas in the com ing campaign will be to get the voters to the polls. As it is a presidential year and nearly everyone will take more or less interest in the election, mis i" be as hard work, as it would be other wise, but it will require work on the part of the committees Just the same. There were 72.166 fewer vote counted In the three principal political parties In 1902 than in 1900. In 1900 the com bined vote of Republicans, Populists a nam-vt was .,348,556. In 1302 4. B.Da 9? 3lrt At least a third of the deficiency or about 25,000, was caused by spoiled bal lot The spoiled ballots came largely from the fusionists. The fusion stay-f-homf was probably some greater than that of the Republicans. Th. rtnntrpr of spoiled ballots year is largely eliminated. Two years aco it was caused chiefly by voters making a cross in the squares opp'--- v,. .-nrs "N'o Nomination. AH sucn .oiint were thrown out. This year there will be no squares where theie has been no nomination. The only dan ger of spoiled ballots this year will come from voters making a cross In the circle in the top of their ticket and then trying to vote for some indUidual on another ticket. The Republicans will be as likely to make as many mis takes of this kind as the fusionists. so one party will probably spoil as many ballots as another. The following table shows the votes cast by each party in the last, two elec tions and the stay-at-home vote and epolled ballots: spoiled and not loon 1102. voting. un.:-:::::::Si &8 2$ It is estimated that on a basis of 25, 000 spoiled ballots. 5,000 were Repub lican ballots and 20,000 were fusion. If there had been no spoiled ballots the Republican vote two years ago would have been approximately 164. 000 and the fusion vote 137.000. This would make the Republican stay-at-home vote about 25.000. If the full vote had turned out two years ago the Republicans would still have had about 22 000 plurality, and this is virtually the odds which the fusionists must go against in their state campaign. A change of a little over 11.J00 votes therefore would elect their state tick et. This is only about five votes in a precinct. It cannot be denied that Roosevelt will get a considerable number of Populist votes this fall. Some of these Populists will vote the entire Republi can state ticket, some will vote a part of it, and some will vote only for the presidential electors, and will then vote the fusion state ticket. If there is a full vote at the polls this year it will not be at all surprising if Roosevelt's vote is well upwards of the 200,000 mark. The pronounced partisans of the Re publican state ticket will invariably say that it is an extremely wild state ment to Say that Roosevelt's plurality will be 50,000 more than Hoch's in Kansas, but that statement is a cinch, and Republicans invariably acknowl edge it when they stop to consider the proposition. In other words, if Roose velt does not receive at least 50,000 plurality in Kansas the state ticket will be defeated. It may take a plu rality of 75,000 for Roosevelt to carry the state ticket through. For instance: It is not at all im probable that Roosevelt will receive 10.000. more votes in Kansas than Mc Kinley did four years ago. That would bring him up to 193.000. Those votes would come from the fusionists and would reduce their vote to 152,000 on the basis of the vote cast in 1902. But these 15?. 000 will be divided between two presidential candidates just in what proportion it is impossible to say. The Populists believe their electoral ticket will receive the bulk of it. while the Democrats believe the Parker tick et will be far ahead of the Watson ticket. in rioint Is that of Editor Granger, who was Induced to move to Oneida In Nemaha county ana given tne posi office. He has been treated as an out cast by the people of that community ever since his advent there and they have resented the dirty deal by go Ine to the polls and voting solidly iinst the doir meat congressman It is such tactics as above mentioned that has created such a supreme con tempt for Curtis all over the First dis trict. There is nothing too dirty, low or mean for him to do lr ne tninics n will gain him a few votes.

The editor of this paper only wishes the statement was true, as he would feel it an honor to be connected in a business way with a gentleman of the integrity and standing of Mr. Le' land. 'The man who didn't get the postoffice' is not looking for one; neither is he charged by Curtis in his rcnt statement of ever having asked for one. He Is opposed to the election of Curtis because he believes, first, that Curtis is not a fit .man for any fflf of nublic trust, being a liar, a thief and a grafter, and. second, be cause Curtis did not receive a legal majority and confirmed the first prop osition by stealing the nomination the last time after lying to secure It the first time and buying it at other times."

Atchison, Tnndta Santa Fe passenger train from Chicago, crashed into a trolley car at Fifteenth street, at the Belt line crossing, in the eastern end of the city today. One person was killed and ten injured, one seriously. The accident was caused by the bars being up. Harry Black the flagman who was nun, says that he was sick and unable to bring the bars into position. There were 14 persons on the car. The engine struck it square in the center and pushed it 80 feet off the road bed, turning the car over and partially demolishing it. J. L. Morris, of Pleas ant Hill. Mo., who was standing oesiae the track, was caught in tne aeons aim so badly hurt that he died in min iitea. Mrs. Minnie Stanberry, of Kan sas City, was perhaps the most seri ously hurt. She sunerea serious ihjuij to her back and probably was hurt in ternally. She may recover. The injuries sustained by the others consisted in cuts and bruises. BANK RUN CONTINUES. Police Are on Hand Disorder. to Prevent Chicairo. Aug. 6. When the doors of the Drover's Trust Savings bank opened today about 150 persons were in line to withdraw deposits continu ing the run begun on the Dank yester day. Vice President Tilden said: "We are prepared for every emer gency. This demand so little bothers us, merely to show our financial strength, I will say that we expect to make two large loans today." Police were again on hand to prevent disorder. The bank was crowded and many persons formed in line on the sidewalk outside waiting to withdraw funds. i Discovery was made today that anon ymous letters constituted the principal medium used to bring about the run. These were written on the stationery of the Hotel Windemere and in tone sug cpsta Rtrmirlv that the run WBS If this latter is true it might i brought about as an attack upon Ed- be estimated, for the sake of the ex ample, that Parker will receive 100. -000 and Watson 52..0O0. This would make Roosevelt's plurality 95.000. At the same time if Hoch should receive as large a vote as Roosevelt, and Dale should receive simply the fusion vote, Mr. Hoch's plurality would be 43.000. If the fusion vote should happen to be equally divided between the Wat son and Parker tickets, Roosevelt's plurality would go up to 120,000, while Hoch's would remain the same. But the Republican state ticket will not run up with the national ticket by a long ways. There are several thou sand Republicans who will do more or less scratching this vear, and not very many Populists who vote for Roosevelt Mill also vote the Republi can state ticket. In fact, it is not at all improbable that the fusionists will give the Republicans a close call on at least a portion of the state ticket, so that Roosevelt's pluralitv will be at least 50.000 greater than that of the state ticket, and it may be much more ward Tilden. a brother of the vice pres ident of the bank. Edward Tilden is at the head of the Libbey, McNeil Lab bey Packing company. A recent news paper interview in which he assailed the child labor law is said to have fur nished the opportunity to attack him through the bank. As soon as it was evident at the bank that the run of yesterday would be duplicated today extra cash in chests was brought to the bank in cabs guarded by policemen armed with rifles. This afternoon the run on the bank had almost ceased, hardly a dozen per sons being at the paying teller's window. "COME OX, DEARIE!" Said the Sexagenarian to His Fourth Wife, "You're Mine."

Only 25c at the Arnold Drug Co.. 821 North Kan sas avenue. The checking up of the state's ac counts has proved such a voluminous task that Governor Bailey has secured the services of another accountant, un der the direction of E. P. Moxey, the Philadelphia man who is considered perhaps the best accountant in the country. The second man will be here Monday and will aid C. M. Rowett, the state accountant, in his work. There had been no state accountant for five years until Governor Bailey appointed Mr. Rowett, and previous to that time the accountant did not work very strenuously. The school land rec ords have never been checked up, in fact. The work seemed so great that it seemed advisable to secure anotner accountant to aid Mr. Rowett. Mr. Moxey is at present doing some work in Kansas City. Governor Bailey went down there last evenine- with th intention of securing Moxey's services u possiDle, but Mr. Moxey said he could not come himself but ne would send a man who would work under his direc tion and whose work he would guaran tee as his own. Moxey is the man whom thi TTnited States government employs on its dif- ncuit jods. When he signs a report it is recognized the countrv over as heins absolutely correct. He is the man whom vv. A. White wanted to employ in the first place. Mr. White said if he were appointed state accountant he would simply turn the job over to Moxey. There is such a demand for Moxev's services that he has organized what is Known as tne Moxey Expert Account ants association, made up for a num ber of the most reliable accountants in the country. Mr. Moxey supervises the work of the association, and it is one of these accountants whom he will send here. "It seems there is a tremendous amount of work to be done in checking uptheseaccounts,"said Governor Bailey today, "and while we are at it it seemed to me that the job should be done thor oughly. Mr. Rowett tells me that two men can work about four times as fast as one because they can work together and save much time. That is why I am engaginganotheraccountantto help Mr. Rowett, and I wanted to get a good one whose work can be depended upon. Then when Rowett and his assistant get through we will know that the ac counts of the state are correct. The new man will be paid out of my con tingent fund." Some of Governor Bailey's enemies who seem afraid that something crooked will be uncovered in some of the state departments, recently attempt ed to draw censure towards the gover nor "for checking up the state treas urer and the school fund commission without touching the bank commission er's department and the state board of charities." As a matter of fact the bank commissioner's department was the first department in the state' house that Mr. Rowett checked up. and it was so published at the time. Mr. Rowett also checked up three of the institutions un der the state board of charities and the Hutchinson reformatory before he went into the state departments at all.

After her injury. Miss Nicholas was taken to the hospital, where It was found that her spinal cord had been pierced by the bullet. She remained unconscious for nearly a week and the attending physicians expected her to die. An operation was decided upon and the spinal cord was severed, the shat tered bones were removed and the cord was sewed together with gold threads. For nearly two years Miss Nicholas lay helpless on a cot in the hospital, paralyzed from the waist down and unable to move, but recently she has recovered feeling in her lower limbs and is now able to stand alone and walk about the house with aid of a device made expressly for her. OFFERED A QUARTER. To the Man Who Returned $1,500 She Had lost. New York, Aug. 6. Edwin E. Brophy, a conductor on the Seagate and Man hattan Beach line. Coney Island, has returned to its owner a pouch contain ing $1,500. The owner, a well dressed woman, attempted to reward his hon esty by offering him a silver quarter. Brophy, who Is a graduate of Genese Normal school, is ambitious to become a physician and for three years by working as a conductor summers and at odd jobs during the winter has suc ceeded in paying his tuition and ex penses at the Baltimore University of Medicine. He has one more year to study before getting his degree. Shortly after the passenger had left Brophy's car at the Seagate terminal Brophy picked up the purse in which he found fifteen neatly folded one hundred dollar bills. When the superintendent of the company boarded his car Brophy at once told him of his find. Before the car had started back a smartly dressed woman boarded the car. crying that sne had lost her money. When she described the pouch and Its contents Brophy at once turned it over to her.

Owing to the strong political pressure brought to bear upon the administration by the army of rural free carriers throughout the country, the new system devised by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Bristow for placing the salaries of carriers upon an equitable basis has been partially abandoned. Congress at its last session appro priated $20,180,000 for the pay of ru ral carriers and provided that after July 1, 1904, "letter carriers of the rural free, delivery service shall re ceive a 6alary of not exceeding $720 a year." It was Mr. Bristow's plan to make the maximum salary of a rural carrier $720 a year, as provided by the law, and graduate compensation according to the length and character of rural routes. This system is approved by all the high officers of the department as being the only equitable method of sal ary adjustment. As soon as the details of the system became known, however, the department was flooded with pro tssts from rural carriers all over the country, and the situation finally be came so serious from a political point of view that Mr. Bristow's plans were modified to some extent presumably by order of President Roosevelt. The rural carriers of New York state were particularly active in protesting to the department against the narv or der of things, and threatening political revenge if the obnoxious system were put into effect. Under the modified plans all rural carriers on the rolls prior to July 1, 1904. will get the maximum salary of $720 provided by congress, while only those carriers appointed subsequent to July 1, 1904, will be subjected to Mr. Bristow's plan of graduated adjust ment. As the number of carriers to be appointed in the near future, is very small compared with the thousands of carriers already on the rolls, it, is evi dent that the rural carriers have won a substantial victory by their protests and threats.

A, keg of Schlitz was captured. Ed Flynn found he could gallop about on the Schlitz domain and be come immune from arrest through the fact that he served on the battleship "Texas." The discovery was faulty in this one particular, however, in that it was good for one offense but was not the sesame for a repetition. Flynn, who is: a machinist, was picked for the second time yesterday and given $3. Flynn owns a "jolly" book. He went up to the police judge after the fine had been imposed and struck him for some work in the mechanical line. Judge Hamilton waved him off. Then Flynn endeavored to have the judge use his influence in' securing work for him from the city. He got the latter, but it was on the rock pile.

Tooeka's new second baseman, arrived this morning from Weeping Water, Neb., where hej stopped over on his way from Minne- j apolis, to visit his brother who has been sic-tc for some time. It was forj that reason that Dunn did not appear! in the Celestial line-up on Thursday. He is scheduled to grace the second sack this afternoon. Olson was there fore put at short, and Shinners was sent to "the right field, displacing White, who was ordered to the bench for a try-out on the pitching staff. In the event that he proves too easy a mark for batsmen, he will be released. The team will play with the follow ing line-up for the next two weeks steadily: Schrant, catcher; Abbott, first base; Dunn, second base; Olson, shortstop; Friel, third base; Hurlburt, left field: Cole, center field; Shinners, right field. "We'll keep them right at those place for a while now." said Captain Abbott this morning, "and see if It won't. work out results. This business of changing around all the time does no good whatever." The contributions to the Marshall's band stand fund now amounts to $43. The work of canvassing will be pushed next week and it is thought that the entire sum at $250 can be raised at an early date.

Manager. San Francisco. July 30. To parents of children having Bright's Disease: I feel impelled to write you my per sonal experience with this disease, the gravity of which I feel strongly through the death of my father some twenty years ago from that trouble and the serious illness of my son near ly two years ago when he was pro nounced by two physicians to have Bright's Disease in its worst form with recovery impossible. His whole body was swollen with the dropsv, great difficulty in breathing and death at any moment would not have sur prised us. Medical science having been exhausted we put him on the Fulton treatment for Bright's Dis ease. In six months his recovery was complete. Physicians have live times since found him normal and without physical defect. Hearing that the son of a friend (an attorney) was dying of Bright's Disease I told him and at last reports the boy had recovered. Last year a Mr. Baruch, representing a New York firm doing business with us, shocked us by his appearance. He said it was Bright's Disease and fear ed it was his last trip to California. I told him. too, of my boy's caPs. Eight months later he called again. I hardly knew him. He said he was nearly well. There are lives to be saved and It is my duty as well as my pleasure to lay these facts before you. Yours, etc., R. C.

Miss Karr gave a recitation and she made a big hit with the audience. Walter Rice did a very clever turn in a black face makeup. Miss Alberta Avery sang "Pretty Little Dinah," and Roy Shreve sang "I am Wearing my Heart Away for You. George G O'Neill was on the programme, but his heart failed him at the last min ute. A big audience witnessed "A Family Affair" again last night. A feature of last night's perfrmance was the in troduction of real live babies in the play instead of the stage property babies which were used heretofore. The play is an amusing thing. The plot hinges on a young man getting a wife and a baby to prove to his guardian that he is entitled to get his inheritance according to the terms of a will. He is not married, butane gets an oversupply of both wives and babies. The real sure enough babies used in the show last night made the night hideous with their cries, and the audience was simply convulsed with laughter from" the start to the finish of the act. It was great. The same performance will be re peated tonight. A complete change of bill follows on Sunday night. DEFINITION OF CONTRABAND. England Seeks a Clearer Understand ing on the Subject. London, Aug. 6. In connection with the discussion between Russia and Great Britain with respect to a divis ion of the Russian regulations prescrib ing the conduct of naval commanders toward neutral shipping and commerce, it is learned that the British govern ment, now that it believes a satisfac tory adjustment of the Knight Com mander incident is within sight, is lay ing special stress on the advisability of a clear definition of contraband, more in accord with the practice of other maritime nations. The government of Great Britain is of the opinion that on ly by settlement of the broad principle can the development of irritating inci dents be avoided. Russia is disposed to meet Great Britain in the most friendly fashion, insisting however that her special geographical situation which makes it difficult to send prizes to her own ports should be taken into ac count and that any modifications of her list of contraband shall apply not only during the Russo-Japanese war, but in a future war. Foreign Secretary Lans downe is giving the matter urgent at tention, particularly owing to the Inter ruption of British far eastern commerce. Fourth District Encampment. Emporia, Aug. 6. The old soldiers of the Fourth congressional district will hold a reunion and encampment at Eureka August 30 to September 2. The reunion will be under the auspices of the Greenwood County Veterans' association, and the old soldiers from all over the congressional district are invited. This will include the veterans of both the Confederate and Union armies. The encampment will be held in Still's grove which will be lighted with electricity and will be provided with one hundred tents. These tents are free to the old soldiers, and wood and straw will be furnished. The speak ers during the encampment will be Department Commander Charles Har ris, Governor W. J. Bailey, Chester I. Long. J. M. Miller, E. W. Hoch and others. Bees Take the Church. Herington. Aug. 6. The German Lutherans have been having a hard time the past few days trying to get a swarm of bees out of the new church. The bees swarmed in the church and got up between the plastering and the outside wall. Numerous ways were tried to get them out but so far with out success. The church is to be dedi cated on Sunday next but those bees will have to be cleared out before an audience can assemble in the building. Accidentally Torpedoed. London, Aug. 6. A dispatch- to a News agency from St. Petersburg says the Russian battleship Slava was ac cidentally torpedoed today at Cron stadt, but sustained no serious dam age. The Slava is a battleship of 13,- 516 tons. Among the visitors who have, been in Topeka attending some of the numer ous conventions this week was a large n an with a, grayish mustache and little stubby goatee. The hair is get ting pretty thin on iiis dome of thought, but he is. alert and active Just the same. His name is E. A. Gilbert and his home is at Fontana, down in Miami county, where he is now farming. Thir ty years ago iie was known as Lewis A McLaughlin, and he was one of the best scouts in the west. He was one of Colonel, now General, Forsythe's guides at the time- of the famous Bat tle of the Arickaree, and he is one of the survivors of that famous Indian fight. Mr. Gilbert came to Topeka primarily to attend the good roads convention. When that was finished he discovered that Miami county had no representa tion in the Populist convention, and as he was elected as an alternate to the convention last spring, he went in and cast Miami county's 11 votes whenever any voting was to be done. Mr. Gilbert is it Tom Kelly Populist think of that. He says he intends to vote for Kelly on the grounds of personal friendship. The most interesting thing about Mr. Gilbert, however, is his history as scout and especially his story of the Arickaree fight. Te reason he has two names is that some time before the Arickaree trouble he was instructed to go down into the Indian Territory and break up a gang of traders who were supplying arms to the Indians. He did so but some of the gang got away and swore vengeance against him, and in order to escape them it was necessary to borrow a new name for a few years, as was customary in those days. At the time he was with Forsythe he was known as McLaughlin. Just previous to the Arickaree ex pedition Gilbert, or McLaughlin, was stationed at Fort Harker, near Ells worth. He was ordered to Fort Hays to act as a guide fo Colonel Forsythe's little command, as he had been over northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska a few months before lookin for Black Kettie, and he was acquaint ed with the country. Jack Stillwell, young scout from Fort Larned, was an other of the guides. Forsythe's whole command numbered only 51 men. They went from Fort Hays west to Fort Wallace and then turned north towards the Republican, where it was known the Indians who were uprising were. The idea was for Forsythe to keep track of the Indians until General Sheridan could come with a larger force to defeat them. When the Republican was reached the trail of the Indians was found and followed for some distance north, until it turned and went southeast to the river again. There it turned weir. ana the troops followed it for three or lour days. By that time other trails had come into it until it was evident that they were fol'.j-ving a big force.. Big Force of Indians. The trail w.is wir!r rhan one of these streets," said Mr Gilbert i:i telling tne story, "and rvery siea. o aos was worn off from n. we couki ten tnai they were taking their lodges wun them it was what we call a lodge trail and T estimated tha; there must have been three or four hunJred lodges. And as there are riom four to six v.irrio's tc a lodge, you can we we were tracing a good sized force ni Indians. When we first started on tne trail I thought we could whip them if it became necessary, but after all these other trails came into the main one I began to get scared about it. I finally told the colonel that I thought we had better get out of there, but there were lot of fellows in the commana mat we used to call 'hell-roarln fellows, who wanted to fight. They were all the time bragging what we could do to the Indians, but I knew better. Colonel Forsythe thought they were not very well armed, but I told him thev were, because I had seen the traders giving them arms and ammunition. But the colonel t nought we better keep after them, nd one night when we had been trailing them three or four days we went into camp down near the river. The colonel said we would follow them the next day and WELL. SPOKEN A Chat About Food. "Speaking of food," says a Chicago woman, "I am 61 years of age and was an invalid more than 14 years. "Was 5 years in the Presbyterian Hospital on diet most of the time. Had an operation for a dilated stom ach, a very serious operation, per formed by a famous physician. "After the operation of course the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts as the most nourishing food, and easiest of digestion. That's how I know the stomach will digest Grape-Nuts when it will absolutely refuse all other kinds of food. It has also done wonders for me to brighten up and strengthen my nerves and made me feel a desire to live, for I can enjoy life. What seems so strange to me is that I have never tired of this food since, but like it better all the time. I find it espe cially good in a kind of soup or broth. "I have a sister who is an invalid from indigestion and she has been greatly benefited by Grape-Nuts which she eats three times a day and a bowl of milk and Grape-Nuts just before going to bed, in fact she lives on this food, and I have also two nieces who used to be troubled with indigestion but used Grape-Nuts with grand re sults, and bo I could go on and name many others who have been helped in the same way." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Grape-Nuts food is used by hospitals and physicians very largely, for no food known is so easy and perfect for complete digestion, while at the same time it is a concentrated form of nour ishment cf the highest grade and the stomach will handle it when every thing else is refused. "There's a reason." Get the little book. "The Road to Wellvllle," In each package. at night we would make a dash at them and stampede 'em. I told him we would never do it. because I thought we would be attacked that night. I had lived with those Indians sixteen months and had been in a number of Indian fights before, and I thought I knew something about In dians. I knew they had been watch ing us from the time we got Into their neighborhod, but iti"was some time before I could make: the colonel be lieve It. Jaek Stillwell and I were kept out on the left flank, and we rode from one to three miles to the left of the company. Indians on the Lookout. "Now an Indian never shows him self on a hill at a time like that. He goes around through the little valleys, but never goes ut on a high hill, and we did the same. Every little while we would see just the top of moving ob jects over the hill ahead of us, but by the time we got around there we would find nothing, but there would be fresh pony tracks. So we knew the Indians were watching us, but the colonel wouldn't believe it till I took him out and showed him the tracks. "Well, that night I told the colonel I believed we would be attacked be fore morning if we stayed there and I thought we ought to pull out along about midnight, but he said we would stay and go after them the next day. I stayed up with the man on watch a good share of the night, and after I went to sleep the first thing I heard was the cry of 'Indians!' I had told every man to sleep on his lariat rope next to the picket pin, and if a stam pede was attempted to jump up and put his foot down on the rope close to the pin and hold the rope down. That kept the horses from pulling up the pins and getting away. "Of course, the Indians tried to stampede our horses first, but every man obeyed our orders and only two horses and some pack mules got away. 'The band that had come down on us rode past and seemed to be talking about the matter some dis tance below us. It was just coming light.' .We saddled our horses, and I got the colonel's permission to go up on a high bluff about forty rods away and see what was doing. I got up there and looked off to the west, and the country was just black with In dians on both sides of the river. They were coming with their lodges and women and children and everything. I hurried back and reported, and then some of the fellows who had been so anxious to fight wanted to get on the horses and make a run for it. but I knew that was what the Indians expected and that we would never get away that way. We just had to stand our ground and fight. Then Jack Stillwell saw this island out tn the bed of the river an dsuggested we go over on to that, so the Indians couid not crawl up on us under the bushes and sand hills. That's what we did, and we laid there just nine days. Indians' First Attack. "Pretty soon the Indians came down on us. My, but there was a lot ot em! They started in to circle around us, coming closer all the time, as In dians do. expecting when they got close enough to rush in on us. As soon as they got close enough we be gan firing, because it looked as though we would be kept busy if we killed em all off. But they kept coming in and finally were almost on top of us. We were lying down, of course, try ing to keep out of range. I pumped the sixteen shots out of my rifle, and by that time they were almost over us. I grabbed one revolver and emp tied that. I believe those Indians were only six or fcightj-feet from me and it Kept me snooting it mignty lively tor they came -one right after another. I emptied that jreyolver and fired three shots out of my other one, and then the Indians suddenly vanished. If they had stayed and fought we would have been killed in a few minutes, because we had no time to reload af ter our guns were once empty. And there were only 51 of us to a couple or tnousana oi mem. Alter tnat cnarge we looked up and the sand in front of that island was just covered with Indians. Some were dead and lying still and others were trying to crawl off. I never saw 3uch a sight. We loaded our guns again as quick as we could, and 1 told the boys to scoop out holes in the sand for them as soon as they could. The Indians were some distance awav. and we could see the chiefs making speeches to them. I could hear and understand enough to know that they were tell- ng them not to let a man get awav. We had canteen plates that we could cut the sod with and then scoop out the sand, so it didn't take very long to make a hole big enough for a man o ne in, but before we were throtie-h they came back for a second eharci". They came riding back altogether and tney evidently intended to ride right over us. I didn't expect to live long then. He Got Roman Nose. 'The colonel told the boys to keen cool and be sure to take careful aim so that every shot would count. Roman Nose led the Indians. I knew him well enough to tell him quite a ways off. He wore no clothes except a breech clout. and he rode on a mighty fine horse for an Indian pony. He had nothing on it except a strap around its lower jaw to guide it. The colonel told one of the boys that was considered the best shot to get old Roman Nose. He didn't gi him the first shot nor the second. But he did the third. "The colonel let them get orettv close before he gave the order to fire, and then it looked just like those Indians were melting. The boys were as cool as could be, ami the Indians just melt ed away. When they reached the is land, instead of riding over us they di vided and went around. Then I knew they had had enough and wouldn't try that again. And they didn't. They tried to starve us out and to creep up on us. A fellow who lay next to me hadn't got his trench deep enough and his back showed above the ground. He told me an Indian had crawled in and was be hind a clump of bushes just a few feet away where he could see him, but the Indian could see the fellow next to me and was plugging him on the back. The bullets would just plow along on top of his back, some times breaking the skin and some times only making a welt like a whip would. He was hit eleven times and you can imagine how it felt. "He asked me if I couldn't get that Indian and I told him I'u try. I jump ed up and looked and saw the Indian lying on his back reloading his gun. Zip, zip, zip, the bullets came whizzing at me. Then in a minute I jumped again and fired. I didn't have time to see them if I hit him, for the bullets were coming too thick, but afterwards we found an Indian lying there with a bullet in the top of his head. But I got hit too. A bullet struck my forearm and then went in just below my shoul der, above and little to the left of my heart. I could put my finger in the wound and I began to spit blood and vomit it occasionally and I thought I was done for, but I imagine the fact that I had to lie there and starve for so long was my salvation from the wound. Tried to Starve Them. "After that the Indians just tried to starve us out. It was lucky we wre on that island, because we could dig down to water without much trouble.

In the trail in following: the Indians, we found they had killed everything where they had been, so we naon t Killed any meat tor several days and we were short on that and did not have very much of anything: else. "Of course all our horses had been killed or wounded the first thing, and those that were wounded we had to kill ourselves because they were dan gerous, kicking around among us. There was one within arm's reach of me. We were all right as long as the horse meat stayed good, but it was hot weather and we knew it wouldn't last long. Then I thought of drying it, and another man and I got our rubber blankets out and spread them on the ground. We could not get up for fear of being shot and we had to work under difficulties. Then we cut oft strips of horse meat and threw them out on these blankets to dry. The rubber drew the sun and it work ed first rate, but we couldn't dry enough to last very long.

Jack Stillwell and another man crawled out one night and succeeded in getting past the Indians to go for help.' Then trie nexmism two mure fellows crawled out, so that if Jack and his eomDanion were killed we might have another chance. The last two got to Fort Wallace first, for Jack and his man saw Indians every day and had to lie low. Jack told me afterwards he came nearer death on that trip than he did at any other time in his life, and that was pretty close. One day they saw some In dians coming and they hid behind an old Duffalo carcas3. The buffalo had died the winter before and the inside of the carcass had rotted away, leav ing just the framework of bones and the skin. They crawled inside the carcass, dirty as it was, and the In dians stopped just a few hundred feet away and cooked their dinner. T-vhile they were there a rattlesnake crawled around at the opening in the carcass. The bovs laid mighty still so as not to excite the blamed snake, but he saw them and coiled to strike.

Jo boxes 10c. and 25c Kansas City, Aug. 0. Evelyn Bald win, the Arctic explorer who has passed several years in an attempt to reach the north pole, and who com manded the Baldwin-Zicgler expedi tion of 1901-02, was in Kansas City yesterday on his way to Excelsior springs irom his home in Edna, Kas. It will be recalled that Mr. Baldwin was turned down by William Ziegler, the multi-millionaire head of the bak ing powder trust, after returning from an expedition, which Ziegler financed, in 19 02. He established supply, bases in Franz Josef Land preparatory to re turning and making a final dash for the pole, but on his arrival in New York in October, 1902, Mr. Ziegler took the matter out of his hands and made-Anthony Fiala, of Brooklyn, commander of the ship America on the second expedition. Commenting on the Associated Press dispatch from New York under date of August 4, on the failure of the re lief expedition under the leadership of W. S. Champ, Mr. Ziegler's private secretary, to effect a junction with the explorers, Mr. Baldwin said: "The cablegram from Vardoe, Nor- way, wiierein ivir. unamp says ne is unable to force passage from Franz Josef Land, etc., is evidently an error in that it should read 'to' Franz Josef Land, for I do -not believe he has yet reacnea tnat point. Mr. Champ also says he is obliged to return for coal. In 1901-02 .1 spent a year in this field before being obliged to return. This now makes. Champ's second failure to, reach Franz Josef Land, he having been unsuccessful in 1902. "Where would I have been," said Mr. Baldwin, with much emphasis, ".had I not returned when I did? The America would have been crushed and at the bottom of the sea. The inter pretation of the Champ cablegram, in effect that the Arctic winter season has been unusually severe, is undoubt edly wrong, for in 1902 he failed to accomplish his purpose, while I suc ceeded in reaching Franz Josef Land, and spent some time there. His plan, as has been stated, was to establish permanent bases of supplies. The fact of the matter is, these had already been established by the Baldwin-Zieg-ler expedition. "In the spring of 1902 I established a supply station, consisting of seven teen and a half tons of condensed pro visions, as a most northerly base,; while to the southward of this there are three other very large stations, i including three houses. The establish ment of these required the resources of the expedition from January 21 to May 21, or until the sea ice became so disintegrated that sledging could not be carried on. Late in June of that year our coal supply had become reduced to such an extent that we be came uneasy as to the safety of the ship. "Notwithstanding this, I held the America at headquarters three weeks beyond the time when various mem bers of the party thought it prudent. But this I was compelled to do in jus tice to Ziegler, as I had recommend ed that a supply steamer be sent up with a new cargo of coal for the en suing year. "Certain members of the crew knew, however, that after all the supply steamer might not be able to reach Franz Josef land, therefore I decided to make an effort to return to Norway while I had a safe supply of coal for the purpose. For a month we battled with the ice, finally arriving at Nor way on Auguitf 1. Meanwhile Mr. Champ had been dispatched with a supply steamer, but failed utterly. it will be recalled,' continued jvir. Baldwin, "that for some time after my return I held the America in anticipa tion of going to Norway after Champ, having concern as to the safety. For this reason I was unable to make full and sufficient reports regarding our work and success of the expedition; an nounce future movements and to settle affairs with certain members of the crew, as Champ had possession of all letters and papers by which I would have been guided. The censure and criticism of myself by some of the east ern press was prompted by cablegrams from malicious persons, who willfully misrepresented the facts. "Returning to the subject." said Mr. Baldwin, "in addition to the supply bases on Franz Josef Land, I establish ed on the northeast coast of Greenland three other stations, it being my inten tion to return that way, utilizing the southern drift of ice. Would not these afford an inspiration for men to proceed northward to. the limit of endurance, knowing means had been provided for their safety? "In a recent article, Lieutenant Per ry predicts that the Ziegler party will get no farther north than Nansen. Is this not a reasonable excuse for my plan of establishing a firm foundation before making a dash? If the Ziegler party, from all accounts, has been liv ing on the results of my work and, by the way, part of the supplies iri those stations belonged to me quite as much as to Ziegler and has been un able to reach the pole with all this nrenaration. has he or anyone else any just cause for criticising my efforts in 1902?

Cotton and Corn Conditions In spire Much Confidence. ONLY ONE DRAWBACK. Labor Troubles Continue to Be a Disturbing Factor. Diminished Wheat Yield Offset bj Increased Price. New York. Aug. 6. Bradstreefs Buys Business and industrial circles are etill irregular and render generaliza tion as to the future difficult. Con tinued good reports from the corn crop and absolutely brilliant conditions in cotton tend to offset undeniably dis appointing resuits In the cereal wheat. Dispatches to Bradstreet indicate an appreciable enlargement in the distri bution of merchandise at western points. Collections show a slight gain, and southern advices, buoyed by good crop advices are optimistic. The iron trade, too. is showing improvement and even bituminous coal is looking up. Other basic industries, however, are not so favorably situated. A few large strikes are responsible for much idleness in different industries. Alto gether the outlook, while cheerful enough in the main, needs definite as surance of good crops and of settle ment of labor difficulties. Wheat, including flour, exports for n e-TJ.k r,din? Auust aggregate 1.3i9.19S bushels. against 1.613 265 last week: 3. 040,629 this week a year ago, 4.244.363 in 1902, and 8.831,199 in 1901. From July 1 to date the ex ports aggregate 6.565,37:! bushels, against 15,047.253 last year: 20.704,203 in 1902, and 32,507,145 in 1901. Corn exports for the week aggre gate 273.365 bushels, against 415,844 last week, 884,428 a year ago, 70.611 in 1902, and 990,714 in 1901. From July 1 to date the exports of corn ag gregate 2.583.090 bushels, against 6, 242,093 in 1903. 494,339 in 1902 and 7,224,413 in 1901. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Labor controversies are the serious drawbacks in business, most other im portant factors tending toward im provement. Despite some reduction in the yield in wheat, crop prospects are most encouraging and the loss in quan tity in wheat promises to be fully off set by higher prices, so that the agri cultural communities will be in a po sition to purchase commodities freely. Delayed orders for iron and steel products are being placed and at the woolen mills there is a notable increase in activity. Railway earnings in July were only 2.4 lower than a year pre vious, and at many cities there is evi dence of returning confidence. But sev eral strikes are in progress and this, together with others under considera tion, militate against the resumption of normal conditions in trade and manu facture. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows a decrease of J1.047.4SS in exports and a loss of $3,230,115 in imports, as compared with the same time last year, the latter item being part'illy responsible for the loss in federal review. Tanners are seeking hides in good condition, on which the supply is short, as those taken off by unskilled hands since the strike began are badly cut and are offered at concessions. Failures this week in the United States are 230. against 220 last week, 231 the preceding week and 178 the corresponding week last year. Bank Clearings. Xew, York. Aug. 6.

Latest Tiling in Drinks Named After the Bishop: STOCK PASSES ARK BARRED. Passengers Complain at Riding With Men AYho Handle Live Stock Cars. Chicago, Aug. 6. Persons traveling on passes issued to live stock shippers cannot ride in sleeping or chair cars hereafter. An agreement to this effect was reached yesterday by the execu tive committee of the Western Pas senger association. It was shown that other passengers had objected to pay ingt an extra price for riding in chair cars and having for seatmates men who are returning from a trip made to Chicago in a freight car loaded with hogs, cattle or sheep. In many cases live stock passes are sold to scalpers, and the passenger officials declare that anybody buying such passes shall not be allowed to ride in a chair car under any conditions. New York, Aug. 6. WTith an extra barkeeper hired to keep up with the sudden increase in trade, the Subway tavern, the "model" saloon in which Bishop Potter led the singing of the doxology and made a speech on Tues day, was still booming merrily today. In fact, "The Bishop's Place," as it is now called in the neighborhood, bids fair to become a fad. Persons have been coming to it from all over the city, some in cabs. And one mer ry party even came swooping down on the place in an automobile. So far has the reputation of the place gone that the manager has been invited by the chairman of Farmers' day at the St. Louis fair to make a speech to the farmers on that occa sion. A man -walked into a saloon this morning with a thirst that might well defy a Niagara of the rumshop's out put. "Girrfme a Potter cocktail." he said in a voice that seemed strained through shavings and sawdust. "Come again," responded the bar- "Can fix you up on a Hannah Elias, a Subway or even a Tin Roof, but the Potter one is new to me." "Well, get busy," ordered the thirsty one. "No dinky little glass, but a long one, with a good sized piece of ice in it. No chopped ice, mind. Now, then, a good hooker of gin. That will about do. Squeeze in the Juice of a lemon and don't add any of the rind. Now, then, a dash of raspberry sirup. Fill her up with carbonic, and there you are!" The thirsty one drank long and deep, and a smile came. over his fac like a benediction. The wholesale criticism of Dr. Pot ter's temperance Idea continued to day, but it was mingeld with some commendation, too. A big contro versy is on, apparently, and extends throughout the length of the country. Rev. Dudlev W. Rhodes, Rev. J. W. Mackay, Rev. James A. Geissinger and I Rabbi Grossman, all of Cincinnati, a beery city, to be sure, gave their heartv annroval of the bishop's plan while Rev. David McKinney of the Reformed Presbvterian church, in the same town, as heartily condemned it. Rev.' T. J. McCrary, pastor or tne Third United Presbyterian church of Pittsburg, was also bitter in ms tte nunciation of the bishop. THINKS IT A CONSPIRACY. Iola Cement Company Protests Against a Damage Claim. Iola, Ks., Aug. 6. The Iola Port land Cement company have today filed a petition with Judge Smith asking for a temporary Injunction to prevent Thomas Hempy from having any writ of execution issued to collect a judg ment he holds against the company until the case can be heard on an application for a permanent injunc tion in the district court. The petition to the district court which is a long one, charges in effect that the verdict was procured by fraud. It says that Thomas Hempy the per son injured, and Jessie Beebe, the only eye witness to the injury conspired to gether to obtain the verdict. Beebe is alleged to have sworn falsely or to have been mistaken in his statement. At the time the company claims they did not know that this testimony was false, but have since learned it. It is charged that Hempy purpose ly concealed from the physicians the true extent of his physical condition so that they were deceived and gave testimony that aided him to procure the verdict. They assert that instead of being permanently injured, he is able to perform the same duties he performed before the accident and that he can walk well without crutch es and frequently does when not ob served by relatives and friends. He has applied for work at his trade as a machinist and is not totally dis abled as the jury believed. For his total disabilities the jury said in the special questions that they gave him the sum or $9,450. i$THE Dr. Martin, eye and ear specialist, re moved from 720 to 821 Kansas avenue. 1 First Methodist Episcopal church. corner Sixth avenue and Harrison street; Rev.

Law Proridp Special Lory to Keep It Up. Tea Teachers Keadr for the Work This Fall. When the Topeka public schools open for the new term. Tuesday, September 13, twelve of the ward schools will be provided with the quarters and equip ment for manual training. At the last meeting of the board of education Superintendent Whittemore, J. H. McBrlde, director of manuaj trajn- lng. and Judge Garver, chairman of the committee on supplies, were em powered to secure the necessary equip ment at one. x The law passed by the last legislature allowing a levy of one half a mill for manual trainiaCn&VPPses- will provide for manual training in the To peka schools. In addition to this the state allows $250 to each, city which provides for manual training. The schools provided with basement rooms for manual training are Harri son, Sumner, Clay, Branner and Bu chanan. Before the term-.begins Low man Hill. Potwin, Monroe, Polk and Grant will be equipped. During this summer Mr. McBride has carried on a manual training school at Harrison for the instruction of teachers who will teach manual training. For several years Mr. McBride has instruct ed the teachers of the city schools and Under his Instruction several have de veloped into competent teachers. 'VVe will have ten teachers, fully competent to instruct in the elementary branches of -manual training when the schools open in September," said Mr. McBride. "I do not mean to say that these teach ers have all mastered all the manual training work but they can teach what the new scholars will need Instruction In and these teachers will develop and keep pace with the demands." The manual training school will not be opened before February and the Instruc tion and equipment necessary for the ad vanced work in manual training will not be needed for some time; not until the ?iupils have graduated from the elemen ary work. The graded schools will be equipped with wood-working benches, benches for clay-modelling and wood-carving.

General order No. 13 has just been issued by Adjutant General Kelsey with reference to the state encamp ment of the Kansas National Guards, which will commence on August 14 and continue for ten days. In the order General Kelsey says: "Brigadier General J. W. F. Hughes, commanding the brigade, is hereby 1 DouiJeorge used 'n (sTj Afcrnuo rat7 tnjzCf?oof.

"Regimental and artillery battalion commanders, together with, their staffs, will arrive on the grounds early Sunday morning, the 14 th, in order to superintend the erection of their headquarters, and to irecelve and provide for their commands as they arrive. "Trpops arriving in camp; on the day preceding the date'of encampment will be under orders of the brigade commander, and enlisted men will not leave camp without a pass. "The brigade commader will make such rules as to passes for enlisted men and citizens during the encamp ment as he may deem best for the in terests of the service, and he is here by authorized to designate visiting days, if in his judgment it is best. Passes for enlisted men to leave camp will not be given except in -urgent cases, and all enlisted men found out side. of camp without authority should be arrested, and at once court-mar tialed. "Ladies will not be quartered in camp. "Camp followers, others than those authorized, will not be quartered nor subsisted in camp. "No sutler or vender of merchandise or food will ,be allowed at the encamp ment, or in any of the camps, unless specially authorized by the brigade commander. "The custom which seems to have been prevalent in the juard, of taking substitutes to camp, will not be tolerat ed and must- be discontinued. "All officers -and enlisted men of the Kansas National Guard will be expect ed to be present and remain until the encampment is closed. No one will be excused except on account of sickness or death in his family, .excuse to be accompanied by a certificate from phy sician. "The attention of company com manders is hereby directed to the ne cessity of providing proper methods for the preservation of fresh meats; and receptacles for the care of commissary stores and supplies, when they have been issued to the companies. The greatest care should be taken in stor ing supplies to prevent them from spoiling before they are prepared for use of the men. It is suggested that each company and mess, before leaving their home stations, provide a box with lid hinged on same, of about three (3) feet long, two (2) feet wide, and twen- la the joy of the household, for without it no happiness can be complete.

L "Captain Racket," a three act com edy will be the bill at the "Vinewood theater all week, beginning Sunday night, August 7. x With the change of play will also be a complete change of specialties. Captain Rackett is said to be bet ter than either of the plays already presented at the park. Old Obidiah Dawson sees the picture of a very pretty girl and falls madly In love. He sends his nephew. Captain Rack ett, to make inquiries in regard to the girl in order that he may find out who her parents were and other such information. Captain Rackett falls in love with the girl himself when he sees her, and they are married. He writes to his uncle that she is not at all the kind of a girl he would like. Says she is a high kicker, goes to the wine rooms, ty-four (24) inches deep, with cleats on Inside for the receptacle of ice and perishable provisions; and when arriv ing at camp set such box in the ground on base of broken stone or gravel, for drainage, filling in around box with earth. With a reasonable issue of ice. provisions ought to be well preserved In a box of this character for several days. 'All organizations will be fully cloth ed, armed and equipped for field service, appropriate for the season; supplied with proper allowance of wall, conical and shelter tents. Enlisted men' will travel to and from the encampment in the service (khaki) uniform, consisting of trousers, canvas leggings, coat, cam paign hat and blue flannel shirt; and take with them the blue blouse una trousers, neatly folded in blanket bags, dress caps packed in box. All extra clothing and toilet articles will be car ried in the blanket bags. Officers will wea'r the service uniform en route to and from the encampment and will bring with them the dress uniform. Officers and men- may wear the blue ftannel shirt without blouse or suspenders whert: the occasion does not properly re quire the blouses to be worn. Officers appearing In the blue flannel shirt without the blouse will wear-the insig nia of their. -rank upon the collar of same, cn both sides.- Each man should have a change, of light underclothing and socks. "The medical department Is responsi ble for the sanitary conditions of camp, and it is hoped that there-will be such a co-operation on the part of 'com manding officers and the medical de partment as will result in as perfect a sanitary condition as possible. It lsa source of gratification to all concern ed that the location of the camp is an ideal one,' as far as high ground and drainage is concerned. "It is of the highest importance that the guard should make as good a show ing as possible, in view of the fact that we are meeting at the state capital and so many critical eyes will be upon us; and it is, too, of the highest impoi t ance that we pass current at our full value, instead of quietly accepting the false position in which we have been placed too often In the past. Therefore. it is urged that. Ali officers and men take a personal Interest in encouraging the chaplain's work and services during the encampment, by attending at least one of the religious services which, wiil be held in the camp on Sunday morn ing and evening. Officers will request the men to refrain from the use of pro fane language, and from all acts that might bring discredit upon the camp and subject us to criticism. It is more than probable that a great many per sons will visit the camp this year, es pecially on Sunday, and It Is urged that officers and men take such interest in and conduct themselves in such a way that will make this year's camp an ex ample to the military camps all over the country."

Eight men have been badly" injured, two fatally, in Kast New York in the collapse of a wall of a two-story brick building. Six of the men were buried under tons of beams, masonry and flooring. All would have perished had not police men and firemen assisted the work men in the work of rescue. A physi cian risked his own life to administer restoratives to those hurt, crawling on his hands and knees under the wreckage. The building, was only partly finished.- The rain .is supposed to have weakened the: masonry. A policeman who was. standing nearby saw the south waJ.P begin to crumble near the base. Suddenly there was a lurch and he called -out a warning just as the wall fell Inward, carrying the floor with it. The crash was heard for many blocks and sounded like a big explosion.- MADE BLIND BY BATIIIXG. Loss of Sight Follows a Plunge While Overheated. Wakefield, Mass., Aug. 6.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATUKDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1904. 11 HOW CODY BEGAN linffalo Bill's First Appearance as an Entertainer. OTas Cast in "The Scouts of the Plains." NED BUNTLINE STORY. Adapted from a New Weeklj Thriller. York Companj Included Wild Bill and Texas Jack. Dr. Judd makes an interesting con tribution to the latest number of The Theater. His subject Is "How Buffalo Bill Became a Celebrity." He tells us something about Ned Buntline. and how a letter of his from the west to the Mercury concerning HufTalo Bill first attracted general at tention to Col. Cody; how the Beadles induced Buntline to write dime novels tor them, with Buffalo Bill as the hero, and finally, how Buntline wrote "The couts of the Plains" and introduced Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack, and Wild Bill to the theater-going public Inciden tally Dr. Judd relates that Buntline on the morning of the first performance had not touched pen to paper on the play in which the Indian fighters were to make their theatrical debut. The true facts in the case are that the play "The Scouts of the Plains." in which the trio of border heroes made i the reception of the colored inks that never fade. All this happened a few weeks ago while Cantain de Bathe was on a hunting and fishing trip among the South Sea Islands. His brother. Cap tain Max de Bathe. had been with him, but left before the picture was nlnnned. "I left my brother at Samoa and went down to Auckland, explained r?rtaln Max de Bathe at the Palace hotel. "When I returned by steamer on my way here I found him In verv bad way. His leg was in a frightfully dangerous condition from blood poisoning. While I was away he had a native tattooer put a simple desien on his leg. and that causea tne trouble. The fellow's needle was not antiseDticallv clean. The native Sa moans do tattooing- and my brother wanted to get a little sample of it as a souvenir. He has some very oeauii ful pieces of work that were executed uion him in Japan and eisewnere. "He will stay here a while now and consult a doctor, and then probably go directly home to England. When we left home his wife was playing here in America. When I am home I live in Sussex; that is, my father has two estates there, and we have a town house in London. I shall probably not tarry in this city long. I am thinking of going down to Mexico. I am merelly traveling for pleasure For fifteen years I have been In the army. 1 was Keen xor me me, out have resigned." SORKEXTIXO A genius. Is Fond of Wajncr and Fond of Ger man Composer's Programmes. Eugenio Sorrentino, the conductor of the Banda Rossa, Italy's famous Red band, is one of the most modest of men, yet he is sufficiently celebrated in two hemispheres to rightly take unto himself the privileges of eccen tricity and genius. He speaks broken English and is on the best of terms win his musicians, all of whom seem tneir nrst appearance, was not written to idolize him. Every time they pass y Kuntline. but ,b.y Fred Maeder- I or address him they salute and witta- Who was Fred Maeder? He was a popular playwright in the 70's. He fitted plays to song and dance artists, and among other achievements wrote and equipped Lotta with her first starring vehicle. "Zip. This piece now adays would be assigned to the Empire or the Academy of Music. The way "The Scouts of the Plains" came to be written was related to the writer by Maeder some years ago. "There was running in the New York Weekly," said Maeder, "a series of stor ies of western adventure in which Buf- talo Bill, Texas Jack and Wild Bill fig ured as the heroes. They were written by Ned Buntline. In search of novelty, I conceived the idea that an Indian play would please the public, and start ed to write something along the lines of one of the Buntline stories. I men tioned the matter to a friend and full soon a notice appeared in one of the papers that I was dramatizing some particular tale of Buntline's. "In a few days I received a letter from Buntline himself. He said he no ticed that I was dramatizing one of his stories. "These stories are coyprighted," he said, 'and cannot be used without my consent." I had got thoroughly in terested in my work by this time, and rather than give It up, I sought an in terview with Buntline to see if some arrangement could not be made to make his heroes available for the stage. 'I'll tell you what I'll do," exclaim ed Buntline. 'if you'll let me in on the deal, .I'll not only give you the right to use any of my stories, but I'll bring Buffalo Bill. Wild Bill, and Texas Jack to New York and have them appear in the play. "This was the first intimation I had that Buffalo Bill was a real character." said Maeder. "U'p to this time I had supposed that he ami his companions were mere Inventions of the author. The idea that they were flesh and blood was new to nie. The reflection of being able to pre sent them to a New York audience open ed up a vista of glowing possibilities. I lumped at the proposition. The play was "The Scouts of the Plains." "The three westerners were the most awkward squad you ever saw in all your lire. The house was racked and the au dience was enchanted. When the trio came before the curtain they were hold ing hands and they looked so doleful that they Inspired lauehter. But the result was the same. Salvini could not have electrified them half so much." Dr. Judd. in accounting for the celebrity of Cody, does not refer to the New York Weekly as the one conspicuous medium of his fame. Ixng before the plav was written, each of the three men hadfigur ed in one or more novels from Buntline's pen which appeared in that journal, and it is doubtful if Buntline ever wrote a dime novel in his life. Dr. Judd calls him the father of the dime novel. Wild Bill Hlckok left the stage for the more congenial occupation of poker-plav-Ine and was shot dead in the Black Hills by a man who attacked him in the back while Kill was studying a bob-tailed flush. Tex:is Jack married Moriacehi, the Italian dancer, and remained on the stage until he died. He died in Leadville, and Mr. Peyton R. Hull of Washington and the writer hereof, as well as Bdward P. Sullivan, the actor, wore among the pallbearers. Among the actors in the cast of "The Scouts of the Plains" was Prank Mor lauit. BufTalo Bill and Texas Jack soon parted company. Bill appeared in a plav called "The Right Red Hand" and Jack also had a dramatic vehicle in which he was the rescuer of distressed maidens and the relentless pursuer of red devils. But Bill was better managed than his for mer partner, and tiltimatelv became the head of the Wild West show in which he circumnavigated the world. He had ren dered conspicuous service as a scout for all the prominent generals in the Indian wars, and enjoyed the friendship and patronage of the army officers, some of whom had been eye witnesses of his fa mous hand-to-hand fight with a Sioux chief !n the Dakota, had lands. He never learned to art. but his fine stature and picturesque appearance made up for the lack of dramatic genius, and the public went to see him. MRS. LAXCTUY'S HUSBAND. Made a Journey to Samoa for a New Tattoo Design. Lily Langtry's husband is very sore To the chance observer he is a slen der young Englishman, a little over six feet in height, with dark hair and a b'.ack mustache. To the more ob Fervlng and inquiring he is Captain Hugo Gerald de Bathe, who walks with a cane, although he is but 2 years of age. says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle. But none of this explains why the husband of Lily Langtry is sore, and why he came to San Francisco using a cane. It is not of record in the British archives or upon the de Bathe coat-of-arms. or in the field hospital books of the English regiment with which he saw service. The secret is out. Lilv Langtry's tall young military husband, he of the cane, is a tattooed man, and he is -ery sore from his most recent experi ence with a tit-tat-toe artist down in the tropical isles of Samoa. Thrt? Samoan is not the most won derful tattooer .But he does a quaint kind of inlaid work in human tissue. Captain de Bathe examined himself and found he still had a small blank ppaee unpre-empted by tattooing on his left leg. He had beautiful things pricked into his body by the needles of the most celebrated tattooers of Japan and other countries. He felt he could not let this Samoan chance go. So he stood for the sticking, and the fcig Samoan went at him. Dunctur. Ing innumerable nice little holes fori out even a suggestion of compulsion in the act. Sorrentino is averse to talking about himself, what he has done or what he intends to do; in deed, he tries to avoid discussing topics that, to the average public man, would be sweet and favorite subjects of con versation. He is married. His wife is a charming little Italian woman, re fined, graceful, stylish and petite. Her love and admiration for the husband can not be concealed, and his tender consideration for her is just what one would expect from the model hero of a perfect love story. Sorrentino is tremendously fond of Wagnerian music and no engagement lasting three days or more is without a Wagnerian programme. The Banda Rossa is at its best in "The Ride of the Valkyries," the overture to "Tan hauser" and fantasies on "Lohengrin," "Siegfried," "Parsifal," etc., although many people believe the band rises still higher in Sorrentino's masterly arrangement from "L'Africaine," "Carmen," "Aida," "II Trovatore," "Bohemian Girl," "The Chimes of Normandy," "Faust," "Boito's "Mefis tofele," Oivedano's "Audre Chenier," Pussin's "La Boheme" and "La Tosca." These arrangements are superbly scored and they must be heard to be appreciated. Puccini, after reading Sorrentino's score for the great fan tasie on "La Tosca," sent Sorrentino a letter complimenting him in warmest terms on the beauty and skill of the arrangement, and he also added that he would recommend that all Italian bands use Sorrentino's fantasie, which is to be published with the hearty in dorsement of Puccini himself. The engagement of this band during the entire week of the state fair, at Topeka, September 12 to 17, is a de cided novelty as a fair attraction and will undoubtedly prove one of the most attractive features of the fair. THE STORY TELLERS. Jokes and Sayings of Players on and Off the Stage. "Is your seat comfortable, dear?" he asked when they had gotten seated in the theater. "Yes, it is very nice," said the wife, smiling pleasantly. "Feel any draught, dear?" "Not a particle." "No big hats in front of you, dear?" Not one." "No posts in the way?" "No: I am very comfortable." "Then change seats with me, dear!" In the deep recesses of the Plavers' club a band of gladiators had assembled. Con versation turned upon plans for the com ing season. John E. Dodson, who is the best listener in the profession, and never speaks until he has the floor, had not ut tered a word for five minutes. Some one Drone in with this observation: "Looks as if the brute element would be prominent, with Mansfield plaving 'Sea v oil and Dodson King of Beasts. I say I'ousnn. congratulate von on vnur choice of animals. I'm glad you chose the lion. "Don't mention it. my dear fellow. 'Ev ery living creature after his kind,' as Moses says in the book of Genesis." And now they are wondering if this was a jao at Mansfield. Raymond Hitchcock of "The Yankee Consul." which soon returns to the Stu debaker theater, is the subject of a little in wnicn me otner ngure is a troi ley conductor in New York. Not many days since Hitchcock,eschew- iiib me vice or cao ruling, boarded a Broadway trolley and even before he had clutched a convenient strap.the red faced, husky voiced conductor sauntered up and, thrusting out his hand, shouted in Hitcn cock's ear: "Fare!" "With pleasure." answered the come dian, giving the knight of the cash regis ter a nickel. Two blocks farther on other passen gers squeezed into the car and again the conductor crushed his way through the mass collecting fares from the new ones an then looked at Hitchcock insinuating ly, said: "Fare!" "I have already paid," said Hitchcock. Huh!" grunted the conductor as he passed on, but his look was evidence that he doubted whither or not the comedian was right. By the time the minion of the corpora tion next forced his way to the front of the Car Fortieth tret hnd Ko.wi ..aKhajl One fare was collected and the deliverer stood beside Hitchcock, who swayed to and fro on the strap. The conductor still had his doubt about having been "fared by Hitchcock, for, touching him on the shoulder, he said: "S-a-ay, did I get your fare?" For a second Hitchcock looked disgust ed, then slowly he delivered himself of the answer: "It's an odds on bet you got my fare! The company evidently didn't get it. for you failed to ring it up!" And while the passengers laughed "Hitch" left the car and sauntered slowly to his hotel. There is a how-to-be-happy-though-married tone to one of Pete Dailey's jokes in the minstrel part of "A Little of Everything." at the Aerial gardens. New York. Miss Templeton, as Mrs. Knight, says: "What a charming husband you are. So tender after years of marriage." "Who wouldn't be tender after twenty years in hot water?" replies Billy After. A. H. Hummel. the New York lawyer and "first nighter," was dining with a group of actors. Apropos of a certain breach of promise suit, one of the actors exclaimed: "I can't understand how an honorable woman can jilt a man and at the same time keep the engagement ring he gave her. "That is very simple," said Mr. Hum mel. "The woman has changed her opin ion of the man, but she admires the ring as much as ever." i THEATRICAL NOTES. Under the title of "The State of the Drama," the English Illustrated Maga zine for July has brought together opin ion on the subject of the state, "of the drama. Three questions were put," asking opinions 1 upon the most practical and eltective means of giving a fresh impetus to the drama; (2) upon the probable influ ence of a state-aided theater and conserv atoire; and (3) upon the utility of censor ship. In this number are the views of Mr. F. R. Benson, Mr. Arthur Bourch ier. Sir Francis Burnand, Mr. Hall Cain, Mr. G. K. Chesterton. Mr. Gordon Cig. Mr. John Davidson, Mr. Sydney Grundy, Mr. J. T. Grein and Mr. Edmund Gossa. while from abroad are contributions from MM. Emile Bergerat, Bjornstjerne B1orn son. Alfred Capus, Jules Claretie, Felix Duquesnel, Augustin Filon and Ludovic Halevy. Mr. Sydney Grundy's opinion, somewhat on the lines on wnich the ad vice offered to Little Bo-peep is based, is short and to the point. He says: "In my opinion, 'the most practical and effective means of giving a new impetus to the drama' would be for every newspaper, and magazine and club -and debating society and after-dinner orator to refrain from writing and talking about it for a period of at least 12 months." Blanche Walsh will appear during the coming season in a new play by Clyde Fitch entitled "A Society Melodram l." The scenario is now in the hands of her managers, Wagenhals Kemper, and Mr. Fitch will bring the completed play home with him when he returns from Sicily the last week in August. Miss Walsh will open the season in "The Resurrection'" September 12 at the Grand opera house. New York. After one week's engagement, she will go to Boston for three weeks and to Baltimore, Washington and Cin cinnati each one week. She will then come to Chicago and at McVicker's play "Tne Kreutzer Sonata," which Mme. Bertha Kalish produced at the Thalia theater for a run of 300 nights. "A Society Mel odrama" will be out on earlv in January, after the Chicago engagement in the Tol stoy play. The attendance at Luna Park, Coney Island, has now passed the 6,3CH,O0O mark, and the average of 90,000 visitors a day is being maintained. Chute-shooting ele phants and sea lions, Moroccans, the new "Whirl the Whirl" and the Circus Max imus all come in for their share of re sponsibility for maintaining this pace. The death of Mr. Clement Scott reminds a London writer that a quarter of a cen tury since he wrote that famous ditty, "Here stands a post," one of the most popular patriotic numbers ever heard on the variety stage. It was first sung by Miss Ada Blanche when aulte a little girl, at an afternoon performance at an Aclel- phl pantomime, and Miss unariotte nns sell sang it the same evening at the Al hambra theater. The deceased critic was very enthusiastic in his advocacy or greater freedom of entertainment at the halls and when the Lonaon country coun cil threatened to interfere with the per formance of sketches, he went down to the Canterbury and wrote a glowing aru ele In the Tlailv TeleerraDh concerning Mr. Frederick Bowyer s sKeten, i ne unie Stowaway," in which Miss Jennie Hill was appearing. Amelia Bingham will begin her season September 5. Her tour will include the south and middle west. She will present her successes. "The enmoers, A jmou- ern Magdalen," "The Frisky Mrs. John son." "Olvmne ana Tne vital issue. Miss Ulna-ham's tour is so arranged that she will return to jew lorn lmmeaiaieiy before the holidays. BOWSER'S INTUITION. How It Worked in Selecting a Family Watermelon. When dinner had been finished the other evening Mr. Bowser looked ex pectantly at Mrs. Bowser, and, a flush stole over her face'as she said: "I'm awfully sorry, but it turned out to be a green one." "Oh, it did For -'th-ree r four days you have been bragging around that you 'meant to surprise me with a red-core watermelon, and yet when the time comes it turns out to be n. g. I might have known itwould."- "But the grocer said he- thought it was a ripe one. "Of course he said so. There isn't a grocer in town who wouldn't sell you the greenest kind of a green pumpkin and warrant it to be a ripe watermelon. So you went and paid 35 cents for cow-feed to surprise me?" "If people lie tome, how can I help it?" replied Mrs. Bowser. "I wanted the grocer to plug this melon and see if it was ripe, but he thumped on it with his fist and said It was a red-core, ready- to- melt in our mouths." "That's like him. I'd like to thump on him with my fist for about five minutes. Well, I suppose it was all my fault. I ought to have told you not to try and pick out a watermelon. No woman ever born can tell a-ripe one from a green one. In fact, not one man out of a hundred can do it." MUSICAL NOTES. Mr. Henry J. Wood in a circular just 5sned. states that as conductor of the Queen's Hall band, London, he has heard from 100 to 350 instrumentalists eacn jku in nrivatA and he has been Struck With the ract that many oi tnese wouiu-ue orchestral players, although most excel lent performers on their respective instru ments iiavp had no exDerience in the or chestra. To remedy the state of things Mr. Wood is starting an orchestral socie ty, the aim of which will be to give the necessary training. Rehearsals are to be heiri on one evenin&r each week, and la dies are to be given an opportunity of joining, as Mr. Wood is of opinion that "the day is not far distant when lady vio linists and 'cellists will be given engage ments in our paid orchestras. Felix Motti. savs the Musical Courier, has been attacked from so many sides and so vehemently regarding his "revis ion" of the operatic scores of Peter Cor nelius that the Munich conductor finds it necessary to make a public answer to the charges of "'artistic sacrilege" and "dis arrangement." Motti's defense will be rinted in the August numner ot tne ueddeutsche Monatshefte, and the mu sical world Is awaiting his say on the subject with much more than ordinary interest. "Babes in Tovland" will be produced in Vienna early in the autumn at one of the leadins- theaters in the Austrian capital. The adaDtation is now being prepared by Glen Mac Donough in collaboration with a wel(. known German playwrignt, anu v ic tor Herbert in supplementing the score with some new members. Mr. Herbert's reputation as a composer is international and no less than tour oi nis operas nave already been heard in Vienna. The Bureau of Music at the world's fair has issued a statement calling on tne band contest which was to be held at the exposition September 11-17. The reason as signed is that the expectations of the bureau have not Been reanzea ana mai the number of bands signifying their de sire to compete is so small that it has been deemed advisaDie to aismiss tne con test entirely. Schumann-Heink must have been proud of her welcome at Ocean Grove, where she appeared in concert on Saturday. July 23. The audience contained fully 9,000 people, who applauded the great contralto's sink ing in unstinted measure. The madam al so appeared as chief soloist at the Saen gerfest which was held in Milwaukee dur ing the week just passed, her success be ing of the customary magnitude. According to dispatches the opening per formance of "Tannhauser" at the Bey reuth festival on Friday of last week was remarkable for its excellence. The great est enthusiasm prevailed and the most brilliant festival ever held at the famous Festspielhaus seems certain. With Bay reuth and Munich offering such fine per formances of the Wagner music-dramas, "the music of the future" has evidently arrived for certain. Mascagnl's new opera, "Arnica," will be given a hearing in Rome, at the Con stanzi. Mancinelli has also just com pleted his opera. "Francesca e Paolo," which will be given its premier at La Scala, in Milan, next season. A Paris judge has decided In favor of the three young men who created a dis turbance at a Chatelet concert by hiss ing when any artist played a concerto. Tt was explained that the demonstration was not directed against the artist or his performance, but was a protest against the inclusion of a concerto, which the disturbers considered a false form of art in a Chatelet programme. It is a singular decision. The young men knew what the programme contained, and. viewed from this side of the water, it would seem as If all the nehts which law and eouity al lowed them were summed up In the priv ilege to stay away from the concert. If the judge was right, they should now proceed in their campaign of artistic re form by putting a stop to all concerts which fail to meet tne sianaara or tneir censorship, or organising to kill the en lovment of all persons whose tastes dif fer from theirs. Then, they might go a step further and mate a business or he stowing their approval for a considera tion. A new industry would thus be open ed to blackmailers, who could levy tri bute unless satisfied with the color of an artist's eyes, the cut of his clothes, the length of his hair, the "make" of his in strument, the taste of his printer and a hundred things more. m End of Bitter Fight.

"But you can, of course?" "Don't try to be sarcastic, Mrs. Bowser. I set up very few claims, but one of the things I can do and "never make a failure at is to pick out the ripest, reddest, juiciest watermelon in a lot of one hundred. I had that in tuition when I was only ten years old. It has been tested a thousand times, and has always taken away the best melon. I'm not boasting, but simply telling you of a fact." "I don't believe it!" she bluntly re plied, vexed and chagrined by her own failure. They had now returned to the sit ting room, and Mr. Bowser stood with folded arms, and glared at her for a moment before replying: "I can make excuses for you up to a certain point, but don't go beyond that. When I said that- I. could pick out the ripest melon in a ten-acre field I meant it. If the time has come when I am to be called a liar in my own house, by my own wife, I had better get out of it." ''I did not mean that, of course," she explained, "but as lonvr as you can't see inside a melon, and as long as the grocer won't plug one, how on earth can you tell?" "Didn't I say it was Intuition? It "There is but one npe melon in the whole lot.- It is this one. You may send it over to me." "Why," replied the grocer, as he thumped on the specimen selected, "I should most assuredly take this one for a green melon. In fact, I wasn't going to offer it for sale." "Well, you send it right over. It's the only eatable one in the lot, and a man who can't see it shouldn't be in the business." "Would you jnind telling me how you do it?" "Not at all. First you let your eye range over the mlon and see if its proportions are correct. Second, look for a sort of swell in the middle, with the ends finishing off not" too sharply. If it is a striped melon, see that the stripes are. not broken in spots here and there. If plain green, don't get the color too vivid. Observe these directions, sir, and then let intuition do the rest."- "And are you sure it's av ripe one?" asked the grocer, with something of awe in his tones and looks. "So sure that I would wager my life against its price. Send it over soon, as I want to prepare it for the refrigera tor." The preparations consisted in intro ducing the point of a funnel and pour ing a pint of claret for the melon to slowly absorb. Then -it -was placed in the refrigerator between two pieces of ice. and, giving it a few loving pats, Mr. Bowser stood back and beamed up on it and said: "The deed is done. We have here the finest and probably the only ripe water melon in the city. It will take about six hours for it to cool off and thor oughly absorb the claret. At dinner tomorrow evening I will treat you to such a feast as the gods of Olympia used to indulge in." During the rest of the evening he was serene, complacent and self-satisfied so much so that when the cat de cided to take chances and come pur ring around hewasnot rebuffed. On the contrary, the animal received a pat on the back and a few encouraging words to make the future look brighter. At bedtime Mr. Bowser went down to the refrigerator to- see that his water melon hadn't got away. He found it all there, and he smiled paternally. In his dreams that night he saw melons all around him. They were growing on vines, trees and bushes. They were rolling up hill, down hill and clinging to the eaves of houses like"-icicles. Half a dozen got on to his stomach and be gan to cavort around, and the horse play awoke him. He immediately thought of the fruit downstairs, and he slid out of bed and slipped down and lighted the gas for a look. No robber had despoiled him, nor had the refrigerator blown up. The talk next morning between his awakening and leaving for the office was all about that melon. He turned it over in its icy bed before depart ing, and threatened the cook with dire pains and penalties if she even gave it a motherly pat during the day. At noon he telephoned home to have it quietly turned on its left side, and at 3 p. m. he telephoned again to have it turned back. He was home fifteen minutes ahead of time, and as he en tered the hall his first question was about the melon. He had staked his all, and he had a right to be solicitous By and by the fatal moment ap proached. The melon was lifted from the box as carefully as if it had been an infant with a case of colic. The cook wanted to take it to 'the kitchen to cut it, but she was given a look that stabbed her to the heart. The fruit was placed on the dining table. Mr. Bowser armed himself with the carv ing knife, and amidst breathles ssi lence he No! He toyed. He dallied. He made the blissful certainty last two or three minutes, while Mrs. Bowser held her breath, the cat felt her head whirling like a top, and the cook knew that she was living a month for every minute. Then the knife de scended and was lost sight of in the melon, and a moment later the two halves of the fruit lay exposed to the gaze of the world. The claret had THE AS GREEN AS GRASS. is what mav be properly termed the Bowser intuition. It is intuition tnat makes you pause on the brink of a precipice; it is intuition tnat tells me that one watermelon is ripe and an other green. It is what some folks call a sixth sense." "Did you have it last year?" "Certainly." "Then why did you send home half a dozen green-, melons at different times?" "Those melons, Mrs. Bowser, were ordered at times when I was in a hurry, and the selection of them was left to the grocer. He, of course, took advantage of me to work off his old stock. It is no use to diseuss theories, however. I want you to put on your hat and accompany me In search of a ripe melon and receive an object les son." A quarter of an hour later they walked in on the family grocer. He had heard of the green watermelon sold to Mrs. Bowser in the morning, and he expected some expression of opinion from Mr. Bowser. He was not disappointed. "Sir, you ought to be prosecuted for seeking to introduce cholera into the country!" "I was sorry to hear that the melon was green, but they are not warranted to me, and I cannot warrant them to my customers." "But you should know a ripe from a green melon when you buy. If you don't, then go out of the fruit busi ness. You have not only robbed me of 35 cents in cash, but spoiled my dinner, vexed my wife and made our cook lose all confidence in human nature." The grocer could only repeat that he was sorry. After jabbing at him for a few minutes longer, Mr. Bow ser walked over to the heap of melons on the floor ani surveyed them for a moment and said: given the core something of the color of walnut stain, but only one glance was needed to prove that the fruit was as hard as a rock and as green as grass. "You you began Mrs. Bowser, but Mr. Bowser checked her with a look. Then he put down the knife, folded his arms and walked stiffly through to the back yard. Mrs. Bowser got her breath and went slowly upstairs. The cat got a brace on herself and sought a dark corner, and the cook gave a stab at the melon with a fork and whispered to herself: "If me name was Mr. Bowser in stead of Miss O'Brien, I know what I'd do. I'd sing small till next win ter comes and I had a chance to tell a green snowball from a ripe one!" (Copyright, 1904, by T. C. McClure.)

Roose velt will get Kansas, and little or no effort will be made to carry the state against him. This was frankly conced ed by the Democrats and Populists at their recent state conventions. There was not even any effort made to fuse on national issues. In state politics, the fight will be one of the hardest In years. Repubii- that must be admitted: the foremost one is, intoxicating liquor is the fore most enemy of mankind. It seems to us that the New York reformers have gone into the saloon business, with the encouragement and assistance of Bish op Potter. Possibly the bishop owns stock in the venture.

If Judge Parker should be elected he will not be compelled to face an empty treasury as the last Demo crat president was. Uncle Sam has been doing a great deal of business since 1893 and has put much money ln his purse. According to government statistics wages have increased 18.8 per cent.

It is particularly gratifying, says R. G. Dun Co.. to find such a small ag gregate of defaulted liabilities in July, because the half yearly settlements are calculated to disclose weak spots in the commercial world. It was well known that collections were slow among Interior storekeepers, and to this must be attributed the unusually large number of suspensions in the' trading class, notably grocers, general stores, etc. But the strain was withstood very successfully by the larger concerns, such as wholesalers, jobbers and manu facturers, while there were only 5 that failed for as much as $400,000 each. Con sidering the very large number of un employed, the unrest in the ranks of labor and the manufacturing complica tions, the Insolvency statistics for last month were much better than might have been expected, and. in the light of bright agricultural prospects, the in dustrial outlook has already begun to how encouraging symptoms.

Bishop Henry C. Potter made the principal address yesterday at the for mal opening of "the Subway Tavern," a "model" saloon, says Ed Howe in the Atchison Globe. The purpose of the promoters of the enterprise is to serve the full spelling of all the names used pure liquor and food, at low prices, at the christening. He was entitled to under the best possible moral condi- be called William Allen White in full tions. Since WThlte boueht the Gazette he among a thousandfold more readers than the writer ever expected to reach. Chairman Hanna, of the national Re publican committee, used it more ex tensively than any other document of the campaign of 1896. It helped elect a president. The regeneration of Colonel Hucks was accomplished. Others fol lowed him back to the Republican fold. Populism was a matter of history. The editor of the Gazette had passed to that degree of importance which demands ON RAILROAD RATES. It seems that people who have been arguing that cheaper transportation rates would be a benefit to the public are mistaken. They have been labor ing under a delusion. The reverse is true. The thing the people want to do for their own benefit is to ask the railroads to increase the rates and pocket bigger profits! Here la the word for The Railway Age for it. The Railway Age is a railroad organ and hence, of course, knows all about the subject. It says that if rates were decreased and the people were not charged so much for hauling freight the public would suffer. Here is its statement: "It is a popular practice with va rious state railway commissions hav ing authority over railroad rates, to point to the effect of reductions in tariffs accomplished through their in tervention and to proclaim that they have been instrumental in saving to the people the amount represented by such reductions. There are two fal lacies attaching to this claim: one that there Is a 'saving, and the other that it is the people who are benefited. It has remained for these would-be pub lic benefactors to discover that the taking away of money from one per son and giving it to another consti tutes a saving, and further that the railroads and the people are necessa rily distinct and antagonistic bodies. Nothing Is easier and scarcely any thing more effective than such an ap peal to those who do not think, and, unfortunately, this comprises a large majority. It is very easy for the state board, if clothed with the necessary authority, to attack the treasury of a railroad, and still easier to make the average voter believe that sucn a proceeding is of necessity a benefit to him. As a matter of fact, exactly the reverse is true. The people of this country are first of all concerned in providing efficient railway service. This has not yet been accomplished. Railroads are as yet in an experi mental stage. They are seeking in every way and m all directions to provide better and safer service, but this will involve the outlay of large amounts of money, and if their rev enues are to be limited by the re strictions of state boards and other authorities to a mere living limit, the desired end will never be reached." Great argument that! Here Is the whole thing in a nutshell. The rail road commission that does not let grasping railroad owners rob and plun der the public as much as it desires is doing the public a great wrong! The. railroads will not experiment in giving greater efficiency and better service un less they are allowed to plunder the public. The proper thing to do for the benefit of the public would be to pass laws ordering the railroad commission ers to raise the rates and make it un lawful for people to want cheap rates! It is all right for the owners of the railroads to water their stocks and make excessive bond issues, and then demand that the men they hire to man age their railroads shall pay the in terest on these bonds and a good divi dend on the watered stocks beside, or else lose their places. Then, if the peo ple will contribute something to the railroads In addition to this, the rail roads will experiment in Improving their equipment and service! But for a railroad commission to say that rail road owners shall not water their stocks and mortgage their roads for far more than the original cost, or for railroad commissions to place a respec table limit on the greed of the railroad owners is liable to work a great injury to tne puduc: Happily Paul Morton, formerly of the Santa Fe, appears to take an opposite view. JAYHAWKEK JOTS. The best Rice county can do is to furnish seven inmates for the poor farm. In his address Bishop Potter said the has been enjoying the fulfillment of his C 8 flnances are at sucn ,,i, .v,t .i. I t i low ebb that murmurs of an occupa- keynote had been struck by this attack upon the liquor situation. He said he believed in the old village tavern as a meeting place, where a long evening could be spent without the necessity of intoxication. "I belong to a dozen clubs," he said. "If I want to go out to dinner or a so cial evening, I can do so in any one of these clubs. But what of the man who lives in two rooms with five small chil dren? He has no club. To get his glass of beer with his luncheon, he must go I journalistic ambition; he has been a full-fledged country editor. He is an editor with ideals. He believes that editors have a mission and that that mission Is to say without fear or fa vor what should be said of politics and politicians, whether the saying prods a friend or foe. White believes that the main thing in life is to satisfy one's own conscience. He does that. His conscience has not been wraped while he dreamed of gain ing the favor of some politician by that to the saloon.

A Sterling man packed his suit case this week and left for a trip to Buenos Ayres with less ceremony than his neighbor's wife departed for a two days' visit to Hutchinson. On three separate occasions last Sunday lightning struck a Burden home. Isn't it about time for the head of that house to review his past record and see what's wrong? This year's harvest developed two persons near Lyons whom age had touched lightly. One 87-year-old man shocked 75 acres of grain while a woman over 70 cooked for fourteen hands four weeks. The Deputy was alone in the sher iff's office. It was late in the evening, and he was going over some papers. Sheriff Lucas was reading The Fire side Companion, by his own fireside, and the Deputy was alone in preserv ing the peace and dignity of the state in Shawnee county. inere was a noise in the hall, and two excited and boisterous individuals burst into the room. They looked wild and disheveled, but the Deputy did not notice that their excitement wa sdue to uncorked spirits that had been imbibed of too freely. He a he's there yet; if you hurry you'll get him; go quick!" shouted the First Individual. "He's a bad man to get: he has two guns and he's a. crack shot," shouted the Second Individual. Who are you talking about?" asked the Deputy, and he glanced at the door as if the bad man mentioned might be just outside. The First Individual looked at the Second Individual. Their faces bore every evidence that they were afraid of the monster they referred to. He s pitching hay out near Silver Lake," said The First Individual. He was on the hay stack when we left," said The Second Individual. It was then 9 o'clock and The Depu ty doubted If the Inhabitants of the Silver Lake country were pitching hay at that time. He tried to quiet the Individuals and get the story. The First Individual tried to tell the story. "He's been up there pitching hay for a couple of days. He is all stuffed with cotton and he wears a breast plate of armor and a bullet won't touch him. He wears two 4 4 calibre revolvers and is the worst man I ever saw." "It isn't safe to go within a quarter of a mile of him," said The Second Individual. "He will shoot anyone who gets closer to him. He can shoot a blue Jay's head off at 40 paces." The Deputy, true to his profession, evinced no fear but announced that the man who was pitching hay, wear ing two large revolvers, was padded with cotton and protected by armor, must be captured. "I'll go after him in the morning," said The Deputy. "There is only o.ne thing to do, that is to take along a rifle and get in a tree a quarter of a mile away and shoot him through the head."- "You must hit him the first shot," said The First Individual. "If you don't he will get you, said The Second Individual. "I will go in the morning," said The Deputy who didn't appreciate the bunco game. The next morning The Deputy thought he would ask advice of the county attorney and that man of the law, seeing through the joke and think ing that The Deputy might go out and shoot some peaceable farmer off his own haystack, advised him not to go as there was no warrant out for the bad man. Later the sheriff arrived. Did you get that man?" he asked of The Dep uty, but not giving any indication of the fun he was having. He had heard the story. "No, I didn't go after him. the coun ty attorney advised me not to," said The Deputy. "I wasn't afraid to go. though." "Well, who is running this office, we. us and co., or the county attorney?" asked the sheriff. "We are, and I'll go right now and shoot him through the head if you say so," said The Deputy. "Well, no, on second thought I expect they need him to pitch hay, said the sheriff.

Many a strong-headed man is weak minded. Age makes some men wise to their lack of wisdom. It is getting the kite on a string that makes it soar. Men love women less than they love to have women love tnem. Spinsters look upon the engagement ring as a promising anair. A bachelor's idea of a fatal flirtation is one that ends in marriage. Many a man who thinks he is wedd ed to the truth is a grass-wiaower. A man always likes his mother-in-law among his most distant relatives. His satanic majesty never offers to go into partnership witn a Dusy man. It isn't necessarily a compliment to sav a man is sound. Some men are all sound. An up-to-date Cincinnati divorce lawyer has on his business card "Misfit marriages a specialty." Fifteen million clocks were made in this country last year, yet there are men who can't get tick at the corner grocery. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A man's last complaint is that he Is sick and old. Any man can be wise if he will make the best of things. Did you ever read a love letter that didn't sound foolish? An Atchison restaurant man goes home to dinner every day. When a man worries over his debts, his creditors know he is all right. An Atchison man refuses to flirt be cause he doesn't know this year s rules. A boy has no money, but he sees ail the circuses and ball games just the same. A man Is unreasonable if he expects a 16-year-old girl to talk and say any thing. We believe we never knew anyone who didn't talk too much about the weather. It is no sign that a woman is pleas ant at home because she is disagree able In society. j If you discover something important for yourself, the doctors say they knew it all the time. They say Wesley Blair has such fine table manners. We'd like to see him tackle a roasting ear. Women are more patient with ama teur singing than men. Men will say: "Cut it out," but women will say: "How lovely." After a woman has been married five years, her lve for her husband is made up largely of tolerance. We don't see what is to prevent the powder on a woman's face becom ing dough this hot weather. "I'll try three more." said a canta loupe buyer today; "if they turn out poor, I'll go to shooting." A woman was putting up plums on Sunday, when a neighbor dropped in. "Isn't this awful," the woman said to the caller. When a woman travels, she doesn't get much enjoyment out of it, through watching her things, to see that no one steals them. Nothing makes us quite so mad- as for a woman to return from the ex position at St. Louis, and talk like a school book. E. O. DEMosa. L. M. PAXirau. QUAKER REFLECTION'S. From the Philadelphia Record.) Many an actor who is perfectly bald has a good part. Sound judgment doesn't always make the most noise. The more a fat man gains ln weight the more ungainly he is. It's the love of other people's money that is the root of all evil. It isn't always the lonesome-looking tellow wno is good for a loan. When the early bird goes for the worm he gets it in the neck. The fellow who blows his own horn is always popular with himself. When a girl reaches 30 she begins to hide the family photograph album. The umbrella wouldn't be of much use if it didn't have its ups and downs. The elevator boy gives lots of other people a lift, but he can't raise his own wages. Some people are so constituted that they can get a lot of enjoyment out of being miserable. Wigg "This is an age of precocious children." Wagg "Yes, it is no longer necessary to teach the young idea how to shoot off his mouth."

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1904. 13 A London dlsptach to the Chicago Jost says: What should we do In these sultry times, when even cricket news is a. burden and when smell of printer's Ink is nauseous, without our ever green Andrew Lang? No weather seems to affect his Invincible gayety. Through all winds his snigger comes merrily. Whatever his mood, he Unds thought dancing in time with a ready pen. He Is our prince of liter ary journalists. In England is no one approaching him In versatility, ease and (race of style, variety of interests, width and depth of learning. He goes to Lords and sees Oxford Play Cambridge, or Harrow play Eton, and on back of the card of match writes an essay on the decadence of public achool cricket. Borne one sends him a tory of a village ghost, and in his note book Is Jotted the material for another article In Blackwood's. From his studies In Scotch history he draws enough in the way of anecdotes and studies to keep him in constant copy. Does Travis win the golf champion ship, Lang has comments. Jets, excur sions and alarums In a morning paper. Does a. Canadina win the Diamond sculls at Henley, quick there is a Lang essay somewhere on the use of style in rowing. Let some American numorisi tickle his fancy and then, my word, you shall have the Journalistic sky blaze with skyrockets. LANGS HITS OFF AMERICANS. I don't know why Lang should always be at hl best in scoring off Americans, except It be that distance gives him a freer hand, or that foreign ways give sest to his pen. Very seldom does he salt the French or the Germans; but never does he let an American pass without a pinch. Once I used to think that maybe he had a gruage against nation which read him in pirated edi tions; but pirates scour the seas no longer, and still Lang's satire endures. His latest sally is at the expense of the American craze for home products in literature: and it is a lively thing. Clearly It Is quite In accordance with Lang's fixed convictions of American taste and intelligence that you should determine to neglect all the excellent things in literature that we provide for you. For ourselves, of course, it matters nothing: but for a young and uncul tured race like yourselves it matters everything. Perhaps, so far as current literature is concerned, you mies not very much; and indeed Lang makes it clear that, were he an American pub lisher, he would refuse to risk the pub lication of what he could more easily pirate, and for the rest, would proceed to impose upon the guileless ana un tutored American reading public a ser ies of old and half-forgotten classics in the guise of new books, were, for in stance, a pirate yankee firm to issue "The Castle of Otranto," "The Mys teries of Udolpho" as the works of a new and talented author, these would sell like hot cakes. What thing more easy than to do so? IN THE MATTER OF PIRACT. The pirate firm had but to print in modern form, to employ a hack to write an imaginary interview of the new and rising author, Mrs. Radcliffe, and to ob tain from photograph the portrait of some obscure yet winsome lady and with aid of these and the usual puffs preliminary the thing were as good as done. No American reader or critic would be competent to discover the fraud. The books are so superior to anything at present produced in Amer ica that they must succeed with a pub lic eager tor the melodramatic and un real. When Mrs. Radcliffe were firmly established as a popular favorite, then other old authors might be revived and Introduced as new writers Mr. Tobias Smollet, for example, whose "Humph rey Clinker" would make a good first book: Mr. Henry Fielding, also, who wrote "Tom Jones' and other trifles Dr. Samuel Johnson, furthermore, the autnor of "Rasselas; and many others too numerous to. mention. How easy, says Mr. Lang, for a smart man to write an Imaginary interview with the young and charming Mrs. Radcliffe: so, to show how easy it is for a really smart man. writes an in terview himself that surely is a neat and subtle parody of modern journalis tic methods. And to finish, Mr. Lang announces that, for proper pecuniary rewards, and in the hope of doing some what to raise the standard of American literary taste, he is prepared to write a series of imaginary interviews as per sample given. SUGGESTIONS FOR PUBLISHERS. Let some enterprising American pub lisher arrange for those interviews. They need not be used in the exact way so humorously defined by Mr. Lang; but. judging by the quality of "Letters to Dead Authors" and "Epistolary Parodies." they would assuredly be worth a good deal in themselves. A friend and I were discussing Mer edith's statement, that the general level of current literature is much high er than it was in his youth; and my friend said: "The level is higher be cause the average Intellectual capacity Is higher. It is nothing to call a person clever nowadays. Everyone is clever. Even our children are born geniuses, and the man whose boy at 10 is not per forming at St. James' Hall is to be con gratulated." There is something In all this. Surely it takes very high talents to raise a man out of the literary ruck; certainly it seems that. Just as the one rose on a tree is often phenomenally beautiful so the one child of present day parents matures remarkably. The number of prodigies that have appeared in London this season is amazing. Boys of 10 have filled our halls to hear them excel Paganlni. Girls have sung so divinely before royalty that they have been praised as PattI or Lind was never praised. From America we have had the boy preacher telling us how he was called to the ministry at the age of 4 And today I see a published volume of poems composed, between "the age of 6 and 10 years, by a little girl ANOTHER INFANT POET. The child's name is Enid; she is the daughter of Mr. Welsford of Harrow school. Mr. Bosworth Smith, well known as a former master at Harrow, vouches that Enid's volume is entirely her own work, unaltered and unaided. Much of it was dictated to her mother before she could write with ease. No one has ever suggested a subject to her. CaiKioned once by her mother against thinking much, of her little power, she instantly replied that "she was only the jug out of which the wa te was poured." Tet here she is al lowed by her mother to stand pouring water from the Jug In the sight of the world. Judging from her portrait. I should rail little Enid Welsford a born genius d hauntla Is the look upon her dreamy i face. Already at 10 she looks old enough to be a grandmother; and Just that extraordinary evidence of maturi ty is what most strikes one in reading ner verse. She seems to have mastered all the poetic conventions. Her style and imagery remind one of Keats and Tennyson. Certain verses might have been written by Kipling. And one or two poems reveal undoubted powers of Imagination. Is not this pure Klplingese? This Is the legend of Evening, Told as the shadows fall. For we are Lords of the Ocean, But God is the lord of us all. And surely there are many women and men writing today of Tims. Death and Love in Enid's fashion: Time looked Into his Hour Glass, And proudly raised his head; "Even the Kings of Nations Must kneel before me," he said. "I rule mankind with my Hour Glass." But Death: he looked ud then. And spoke as he worked his glittering Scythe Blighting the lives of men. What reviewer does not know that strain: but what reviewer has found it ever in the work of a child? One can wish nothing better of little Enid Wels ford than that she may grow younger. BOOK NOTES.

Boyakin, of Mar shall county, now 98 years old, declin ed a renomination for the office of cor oner, after a service of a quarter of a century. To the ordinary reader the announce ment had the usual interest that at taches to unusual facts. But the life of Dr. Boyakin has been so full of adven ture, travel and usefulness, and has covered such an unusual period of time that a full sketch of his life would not only read like a romance but would merit a place in our national history. Fifty years ago he was more widely known than at present. He was at that time a prominent preacher a pioneer in the Baptist church in Missouri and Illinois. In 1857 he naturally become the successor of the Rev. John M. Peck, the pioneer Baptist missionary of the Mississippi valley, so far as his work was then left incomplete. Mr. Peck was to the early Baptists of that section of the country what Peter Cartwright was to tne Methodists. or some unknown reason, Mr. Peck has failed to receive that popular recognition in our national encyclopedias and biographies that has been accorded to Peter Cartwright. Yet we have the emphatic statement of Dr. Lyman Beecher that John M. Peck had led more valuable settlers Into the northwest than any other ten men. And certainly his labors and his preaching were as effective as those of the noted Methodist pioneer. Dr. Peck went from Connecticut to St. Louis while William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame was territorial governor of Missouri. In 1822 he settled at Rock Sprine. St. Clair county, Illinois, where he took up a claim. Later on he established a Baptist seminary at that place which was afterwards burned, and which. was the origin of Shurtleff college, the now celebrated Baptist institution at Upper Alton. For some years before the death of Dr. Peck. In 1857, Mr. Boyakin had been his coadjutor and friend, and at his death, he was expected to take up the unfinished task, and for a time did so, having charge of a church in Belleville. But those were times of great politi cal excitement. The panic of that year demoralized business. Kansas was still in the throes of uncertainty, and a few years later brought on the civil war. Mr. Boyakin was then a Douglas Democrat. As will be seen later on, he had not been without some experience in connection with the slavery question. Although southern born he did not sym pathize with the slavery system, nor did he have confidence in the success of the then prevailing anti-slavery move ments. In 1858 he established the Belle ville Democrat as a conservative Doug las paper, which he edited with marked ability. The paper is still published. But when the crisis came, Mr. Boy akin allied himself with the cause of the union. He was then 65 years old, but was made chaplain of an. Illinois regiment snd served as such for four years, and has since been identified with the Republican party. In 1S69 he removed to Kansas, set tled on a farm near Blue Rapids in Marshall county, where he served for several years as an "'effective superin tendent of schools, putting himself in. close touch with every district in the country and for rest of his 35 years he has acted as coroner, and now at the age of 98 asks. to be retired that he may spend his remaining days on his farm. During all these years he has not been outside of his county. W. F. Boyakin is perhaps the last of those able men who were the con necting links between the slow pio neer days of the west and the bustling present. Born about the time that Lewis and Clark returned from their celebrated expedition across the con tinent, he was three years older than Lincoln. He was In mature manhood when Webster made his celebrated reply to Haynes and was far past the military age when the Oivil war broke out. His memory antedates the bat tle of Waterloo, and Jackson's victory at New Orleans. He was man grown when John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died In 1826. He was 26 years old when Charles Carrlll of Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Walter Scott and Goethe died in 1832. He was nearly twice the age of Queen Victoria when she was crowned and even then had lived through the entire reigns of William IV, George IV and more than a dozen of the last years of George III. He was a youth of 15 when Na poleon died in St. Helena. These facts and figures may serve to give one some idea of what the life of one Kansas citizen has wit nessed. The life of no one man In any other like period of the world's his tory has ever seen the progress in civil, religious, political and scientific lines that has been recorded in this long life of Mr. Boyakin. No one man, unless his full contemporary, has ever been a personal witness to such an advance in civilization, and there are but few men now living on this earth, of his age, enjoying the full benefit of all their faculties to a de gree that fits them for the perform ance of the judicial duties of coroner. Fewer yet there are capable of writing with such strength, lucidity and humor at the age of ninety-eight. It is said of Pope, and deemed worthy of record, that he lisped in numbers, when but four years from his birth. It is certainly no less remarkable when one lives and retains all his mental powers, for nearly a genera tion beyond the allotted three score years and ten. But Mr. Boyakin, al though so near the century mark, seems to possess all the cental vigor of early manhood. Mr. Boyakin's life covers one-third ot our colonial and national history. It alone covers more than one-half all the pro gress made in American history. In our own history he has been a factor of no little importance, and he alone survives those who first gave impetus to the anti slavery cause, especially in the Baptist following. A sketch of Mr. Boyakin's early life is most interesting. He was born in North Carolina. In 1S08. when he was two years old, his parents moved to Tennessee, where he grew to manhood. He studied law with L. M. Bramlet in l?26-27. In Pulaski on July IMS. the day that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died, he mado his first popular Fourth of July address before one of those immense southern crowds so notable in those times. It was said to number 20.000 to 30.- 000 people. General Andrew jacKson and nis stan were present, and also addressed the nieetine. he belner a candidate for presi dent, to which office he was elected two years later. Lawyer Bovakin's relirious scruples were such that he felt he could not re main a member of the bar, and in 1S30 he went to Kentucky and took a regular course in medicine. Here he married a beautiful and accomplished girl, whose death more than twenty years later was the cause of agonized grief. She was burned to death while he lived In Belle ville, or. as he has since said: "She went to heaven In a chariot of fire." He prac ticed medicine four years and in 1S34 was converted and joined the Baptist church and entered the Duloit. In 1S35 moved to Illinois, living sometimes in that state ana sometimes In .Missouri. In 1853 he was chaplain of the Missouri legislature and helped inaugurate "Old j Pap Price" as governor,, and during, the I winter prayed for Gov. Price, Frank Blair, B. Grats Brown (Greeley's mate for vice president, just tweny years later), Claib Jackson, Thomas H. Benton, then candidate for governor. All this, the doctor now says, was harder work than holding inquests. In 1841 the Baptists held a denomina tional convention in Baltimore, at which the slavery question was prominent. It arose on a resolution regarding appropri ations to slave owners in missions. A committee of one from each state was appointed, to whom the question was re ferred. Dr. Boyakin was on the commit tee from Illinois. He it was who intro duced the resolution that no appropria tions be made for the benefit of slave owners. The resolution carried in com mittee and was adopted by the general convention. The result of this initial step was the disruption of the denomination and the subsequent formation of the southern Baptist convention. The celebrated scriptural controversy oetween ur. uuuer or south Carolina ana Dr. Wayland of Massachusetts involving the slavery question grew out of this ac tion of the committee. The slavery question had then been ag itated for several years. Lovejoy had been murdered at Alton four years before. Thompson had come over from England and with Garrison and Wendell Phillips the abolition movement was well under way. Prudence Crandall, who died a few years ago in southern Kansas, had been driven from her school for colored chil dren in Connecticut and imprisoned: Al exander Crummels, first colored Epis copal minister of the country, who held a pulpit for twenty-two years in "Washing ton and died there in 1896, and who, in stead of being educated at Canaan, N. H.. as the the new international encyclopae dia says, was driven away from the school by a mob that in August, 1836, as sembled with a hundred yoke of oxen, hauled away the academy building and drove the colored ounils awav at the point of muskets; these and other dis turbances had taken place, but it is be lieved that no organized effort to check the spread of slavery had been made be fore this action of Dr. Boyakin In 1841. To him, therefore, belongs the credit of setting the first milestone on the road to freedom of the slaves. And how manv of the people of the na tion are aware that the leader who first set this milestone is still living? All the grreat and prominent actors in that his toric national drama have passed away, while this one prime mover in this great reform still lives here in Kansas, honored and beloved. In vears past Dr. Bovakin has traveled extensively in this country, especially in the west and on the Pacific coast. He has visited Cuba, Porto Rico and the West Indies generally, Mexico. Central America and Panama. He considers the Panama canal a feasible undertaking and that it and its attendant results will stand as a feat of engineering equaled only by the Pyramids. Dr. Boyakin has been married three times. He has tho approval of President Roosevelt. He is recorded as against race suicide and has been the father of twen-tv-two children, all of whom are a credit to their parents and to society. A favor ite daughter is living with her parents on tho homestead farm near Blue Rapids, where it is hoped the veteran patriot will more than round out his centennial year. EDUCATIONAL.

Flliuino Organization Which Blade War Against Spaniards. 'I observed a Filipino at the fair the other day with a badly healed scar, as though of a cut, on his left arm, and this led me to wonder if he were not a member of the dread Katlpunan society at one time," Mr. George Mitchell re marked to me. "The Katipunan so ciety, I believe, is now entirely out ot existence, but it was a terror to the Spaniards. It was formed In 1894 at Manila by General Pilar, who was one of the officers of the insurgents in the field against us, and its object was the extermination of the Spaniards by secret assassination. The members at tended the meetings and did whatever work they were called upon to do in concert, with hoods and masks com pletely covering their faces, so that no man, save the general secretary of the order, had any idea who the different members were.. To augment this secrecy when a man joined he was given some fictitious name, by which he was re ferred to in all intercourse of the socie ty. Thus, General Pilar was known simply as the Viper. At the initiation, each new member signed the oath by which he was bound to execute the rules of the order with a pen dipped in blood that was drawn from an incision made in the left arm. The scar from this incision, of course, marked the man as a member of the society, and after the Spaniards came to know of its ex istence they gave no mercy to the pris oners bearing such a mark whom they took in the uprising that soon after fol lowed. The history of the society was one blotted with atrocities on both sides and again I wonder if that man I saw had been a member of the society, or if the scar on his arm originated in other causes than the initiatory rites of the Katlpunan. If he had been a member of it, what tales of vengeance executed against the Spaniards for their mis government of their wards he might tell!"

14 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1901. Ffo r t h e 1 I Women. i Dame Fashion is changing her plans, but they are no abrupt changes that will materially alter the layout of the coming gowns. Rather are they changes that bring out the prettiest ol the prevailing fashions, while others that were not so pretty are obliterated. In the fashion world there are contin ually appearing r.ew things""br old styles turps drawn by that author. And, by the way, that sick child that she tries to work up our sympathies over is probably pure fiction. Ten to one she hasn't a child or chick of her own. or if she has the nurse is taking care of It while its mot he is togging herself out in finery that the working woman has no time or oppor tunity to even dream of wearine." And j the bachelor girl, having relieved her feel ings, returned to ner dook in a. muic placid frame of mind. NUMBER THIRTEEX. No etiquette Is more strict than the etinuette of the supernatural. The African shive was free and unfettered as compared with our modern ghosts. We have settled tre style of house that may be haunted and limited the worked up in new ways, and anwng'houra suitable for the ghost's appear- those there are many that catch the ance. When he has appeared he may eye at once by their beauty. I mom. or point, or wave, or beckon, but there is precious little else that Lovely Ince Fto'es, for Instance, are he may do. We resent very prop- R EVOKES THE FRANCHISE. Leavenworth Goes After the Electric Street Railway. fastened around the neck of little silk bolero coats, with the lace ends hang ing well down in front, and a beautiful eiik rosette adorning the neck. Beautiful squares of ecru lace, show ing a heialdic design, are appliqued up on the rigtt sleeve of the handsomest cloth gowns. Great swirling patterns In braid are eppllqued to the front box plait of the Iiew linen shirt waists. Braided designs in wash silk braid are seen upon the cuffs of linen gowns end upon the cuffs of silk dresses as veil, for braid Is very fashionable. Deep lace cuffs are stiffened with wire and slipped on over the cuffs of sflk shirt waists and overcoat cuffs and the cuffs of wash dresses. Girdles are made of silk which Is stif fened and cut to a point In the middle of the front. This girdle is hand em broidered, and shows the loveliest of green flowers to match the green trim mings of hat and gown. Brown, which has held Its own so well all summer is to be a still more popu lar shade for winter, and both seal brown and navy blue will lead in fash ion's march. The dot, always so fashionable. Is coming In, and. where there was one dotted gown before, there will now be a. dozen. The dot, to be fashionable, must look as though done by hand, for It is the hand embroidered dot which makes the gown chic. The most fashionable gown of the eason is a black taffeta, with a large black, raised silk dot. The collar is made of velvet, as are the cuffs, and there are pipings of turquoise blue atln to finish both. Pipings are more than ever the style, and. to pipe a gown with blue and white, is a pretty sure way to secure its general style. The little line of white gives it neatness and finish, while" the blue gives it the re quired note of color. Here is an Important thing to remem ber, also: Let there be some embroidery or lace application upon the afternoon shirt waists. The girl who wants to be very stylish will put in her spare time making wheels of lace and wheels of silk. Let the wheels be about the size of a sil ver dollar, and, in the middle of each, set a small button. The lace wheels have In the center another little wheel of lace, and for evening it is the thing to place the tiniest button rose in the middle of the lace wheel. There is a new style of neck finish which is very much liked. It looks very much like a collar and. Indeed it is such. But. instead of being cut square In sailor fashion, it Is cut in two long deep points in front that come down al most to the belt line. These points, are edged with Valenciennes lace which goes all the way around the collar. There are long deep points upon the shoulders that come down over the sleeve quite to the elbow. The back is finished in a point. This is charming carried out in piece lace. A little touch of black appears upon all fall gowns. It is absolutely neces sary for the style of the gown. Tiny black velvet buttons are very becoming to any dress. In the stock line the stock can be white with a band of black, or a touch of black embroidery, to set it off. Deep black silk cuffs with wide white lingerie frills are about the smartest things in the cuff line and they give the touch of black and white so necessary to any gown no matter what its color. "If anything just makes me dead tired," said the bachelor girl, giving a vicious slam to the book she had been reading. "It is when these women who have been cared for and coddled ail their lives by devoted fathers, brothers end husbands, get up and air their views on the working woman, the n dependent woman or whatever they choose to call her. If they don't criticise her they do what she resents even more, pity her. WT&t in the name of common sense do they know about h;-, anyway, when they aren't able to &ea two steps beyjnd their own comfort- aoie aomiciies. isaturaliy the woman who works for a living is too much oc cupied with that problem to sass back. mo these domestic autocrats have it all their own war- "Now, in this story I've just been reading a recent and really clever rdece of writing." she went on, "the au thor queries as to how far the office propinquity and sympathy of employer and woman assistant is fair to the wo man at home, adding 'The free woman errant goes out, equipped for the day's contest with all her best points accen tuated. The weman domestic may kave been up all night with a sick or restless child In addition to other un avoidable burdens that serve to try hf r. Can she be at her best, tjim, manicured and as faultless in hair and gown when her husband leaves for his office as the woman he finds there? Is not this very contrast a challenge?' "There! would any woman who had ever achieved business life or had it thrust upon ner rrcognize nerseit In- that d' scnption r jr my Dest points are accen tuated by slaving in a dingy office all day. by being too tired to sleep at night, doir.g my odd sewing and mending at daybreak, swallowing a boarding house preamast in double quick time and mak inn a desperate dash for a train or t trollley, wny. all I can say is.

As for that sympathy and propinquity business this is about the size of it: Enter Mr. Moneymaker, he says to his secretary: 'Mornin'. Miss Jones. Got that order from B. Co. yet? No? Well, let me know as soon as it comes. That letter from the Pinehback Co. was mislaid yesterday: don't let such a thing occur again, please. Here, take these memoranda and copy them in good shape I want them by It) o'clock. And 'iss Jones says meekly: "Yes. sir." and falls to in a frenzy of effort. Her employ er's only thought, so far as she is con cerned, is to get his work well done and as cheaply as possible, while she hasn't, for the time being, any idea beyond fin ishing her allotted labor creditably and f-Rining an increase of salary in the near uture. That's the business woman from jay point of view. Not much like the pic-; erly, I think any radical Innovations. We have been to the pains to lay down a few simple rules for the guid ance of the supernatural, and we ex pect those rules to be followed. A superficial study of the literature of the subject has convinced me that we are rarely disappointed. Our ghosts have been brought to recognize the impropriety of haunting a mod ern residence and the superior pic turesqueness of the gallery of the old manor house. They are at home from midnight until three in the morning. I gather also that they appear only to the singularly cool and hard headed people of splendid nerve and no imagination who a,re incapable of deceiving themselves. Therefore, I can quite understand the resentment that was felt when it be came definitely proven that No. 13, Pig bury Koad, Wadsworth, was haunted. It was all wrong. It was a new, badly built 30 house the Inst place in the world for an educated ghost. All that could be said for it was that the number was undoubtedly 13, and that the general servant who left the house screaming and refused to return left it at midnight and was on her own con fession a singularly cool and hard-head ed person. She had hysterics and a little gin at the house of a married sister, and declined all Information as to what she had seen, confining herself to the statement that she would not siend another night in that house, no, not if King Edward Vll himself were to ask her on his bended knees. His majesty either did not know of the case or did not think it one for his direct personal interference. In any case, the general servant (and It cannot be too widelv known that her name was Su san) did not go back, but did go around to other houses hinting or mines too awful for human speech. At this time other people suddenly re membered that thev had always no ticed something queer about the place; with a laudable desire to get DacK to strict etiquette of the supernatural they spoke of strange lights, green torcnoice, seen in the windows late at night. I do not know If this was good for anything, but it was extremely bad for the value of residential property in the neigh borhood. Mr. James Milk, who owned six houses, including No. 13, in Pigbury road, had five of them standing empty, and was in a state of unsuppressed fury. "If I could get hold of that girl," he said, "I'd wring her neck. She ought to get seven years. It's all stuff and nonsense. She goes spreading her lies about and I'm suffering for it. There'J nothing wrong with the house; nothing whatever." And he set his glass down with a bang which really seemed to prove it and rule a line underneath. "In that case," said Mr. Albert Sted- ding one of your cold and judicial young fellows with a very small mouth and a silver cigarette case "in that case. Mr. Milk, why don't you go and SDend a night there yourself? That would be a facer for them. xnat wouia soon stop the talk. Tou'd soon get your tennnts back. "You'll excuse me," said Mr. Milk firmly, "but I believe you are not a married man. Albert Stedding admitted his bach elorhood. "Then you can't be expected to understand the delicate nerves of a woman. Mrs. Milk is most particular that way. If I were to do what you said she'd go mad or perhaps drop dead. It s no good arguing about it. She's like that." Mr. Albert Stedding pushed his glass to the girl behind the bar and said, "I must trouble you again, miss." Then he began to whistle. Mr. Milk watched him and grew annoyed "Look here." said Mr. Milk. "I know what you're thinking and I don't mind telling you what I think. I think you won't lay me a sovereign you'll spend the night there yourself. "Certainly. I will." said Mr. Sted ding, "with pleasure." Leavenworth. Kas., Aug. 8. The long and Incessant controversy be tween the Kansas City-Leaven wort street railway company and the city or Leavenworth came to a termina tion last night when the city council placed on second reading the ordi nances repealing all the rights an franchises of the road in this city an passed them unanimously. As soon as the mayor approves the action the council last night the company will be operating in the city without franchise right. As soon as the ordi nances had passed Councilman Kaut mann introduced a resolution instruct ing the city attorney to at once pre pare for the street commissioner no tices to the company to remove its tracks from the city streets within 1 days. Unless the company at once comes to terms and grants the city the con cessions demanded, last night's action will mean that another street railway company will be operating In the city within a few months. ROBBED BY ELECTIIICITY. Landlord Shocked Oat of $1,000 by a Boarder. Asbury Park. N. J., Aug. 6. Abra.- ham Schlossbach, of this place, has reported to the police that a boarder in his house had made him uncon scious by an electric shock and while he was helpless robbed him in his own room of over SI, 000. The stranger represented himself as the discoverer of a new electric pro cess to cure rheumatism and offered Schlossbach the treatment gratis. He attached his apparatus to Schloss bach's wrists and the victim knew no more for five hours. The the boarder secured $1,000 which Schlossbach had just drawn from the bank and disap peared. K0KT1I TOPEKA. It was at eleven that night that Mr. Stedding fumbled with the key which Mr. Milk had given him. He almost hoped that the lock would not turn. It would be a fair excuse. His spirits had been falling steadily ever since he made that rash bet. He did not like the look of the place; there might be nothing in Susan s stories or with all that smoke there might be a little fire. He had done his best to keep himself up in the manner that tradi tion assigns to the Dutch, but yet he had run down. If only Mr. Milk had by some mistake given him the wrong key. But the front door opened easily. A few minutes later Mr. Stedding had spread his rug on the bare boards of the desolate front room and was com posing himself to sleep. A candle flickered in a beer bottle on the floor, his whisky flask lay by his side for purposes of reference, in his hand was a deadly revolver, with the mechan ism and conduct of which he was unacquainted. e woKe suaaeniy. 'the room was nark and he was sweating with horror. What was it that had touched him? What was the awful voice that he had heard? Without one thought of his bst he struck a match and made a rush to get out of the house. It was daylight outside and the num ber 15 was quite clear on the outer door. Mr. Stedding went back into the house again, opened the shuttersNof the front room and reflected. He reflected that the number 5 is easily mistaken for the number 3 under certain circum stances. He reflected also that those who expect to find the supernatural al ways do find it. And at present he lives at No. 13 at an absurdly low rental. Barry Pain, in The Sphere. Newman Lost a Piano.

Sheriff Lucas Wants Him to Pay an Old Judgment. Sheriff Lucas will soon be after Chief of Police Stahl with an execu tion for the payment of a $50 judg ment secured against Stahl, when he was chief of police for the first time two years ago, by Frank Zingheim. Zine-heim owned a piace soutneast of town and rented it to Ike Kicker. Stahl raided the place and arrested Kicker for running a disorderly house and he took five barrels of wine stored in the cellar. Kicker was found not guilty and Zingheim, who claimed the wine as his personal property, re plevined It. The wine had not been used for running a joint and was stored by Zingheim to mature. It was some time before the wine was re turned to Zingheim and some of it was spoiled. Zingheim secured a judg ment against Stahl for $50 for damage to the wine. The judgment has not been paid. When the sheriff gets after Stahl he must pay or show a reason why he should not or cannot. Low Rates to Northern Resorts.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1904, HIS ONE FAULT. "Oh, yes, Cholly is a harmless sort of fellow. The only thing about him is that he has brain trouble." "Nonsense! He hasn't any brain at all." "I know; that's the trouble." MERELY A "NEWSPAPER MAN." il, 'V Jl 1 1 1 i! El I 1 !l i! U Ul H H mi Mt tl It 'SSS T '1 'I 1 The Lady Artist: "And is he a literary man?" The Lady Writer: "Oh, dear, no. Why, he's able to sell the stuff he writes." NOT WHAT SHE INTENDED. r w AND HE DIDN'T PROPOSE. Mrs. Swellington (to wife of Mr. Busyman): "So glad you are coming to us on Thursday! 1 need hardly say how pleased we shall be to see your husband also, if it is only to take you away." HIS LIMITATIONS. Mm stry- -a I---.- x v. -mm it nW-w mm sir "There isn't anything our manager would not attempt to produce." "Except salaries." A SUBJECT FOR PA. "Father will be past here in a minute with a new horse. He wants to see It it will shy at you." A SYMPATHETIC YOUNGSTER. "I say, why won't they let you go into long trousers ill vvir He: ."I I'd propose to you if I knew what to say.' She: "You would not if you knew what I should say.' THE BRUTE! Wife: "Mr. Dauber, the artist, has asked me to let him paint my face.' Husband:... "Didn't think one coat was enough, I suppose." DEVELOPMENT. Our pleasures change but little As the years speed on their way. The boys who once played shinney Are playing golf today. AN EXCEPTION. "No man mixed up in a divorce case will ever have any luck." "I know one man who had luck." "Indeed! Who is her "A divorce lawyer." RECOMMENDED FOR CARNEGIE MEDALS. Iv? HE Told TrtE TKMTH His wi-FffAS g; bont to the cr MOTHERS J THESE ARE THE HUMBLE .HEROES OF DAILY LIFE. CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS. "I like to have Mr. Sweetman call. He is so lively. He is one of those who leave a good taste in your mouth when they go." "Is that what he was trying to do when I looked over the banisters and saw you standing so close to each oth er in the hall?" A DIFFERENT MATTER. Father But he is not the first youns man you thought you loved. Daughter No. but he the first ens with a million. w f
