WHITMAN ONE OF LOST Gallant Kansas Army Officer a Victim of the Terrible Disaster. Pueblo. Col.. Aug. 8. Train No. 11, the Missouri -Pacific flyer, crashed through a bridge over an arroya or dry treek near Eden, on the Denver Rio Grande railroad, about eight miles from Pueblo, at 8 o'clock last night. It is estimated that of the 125 passengers on board the train, 100 or more lost their lives either under the waters of the raging torrent, or beneath the wreck age. Upon the news reaching Pueblo a special train bearing all the available Burgeons and the Rio Grande and Mis souri Facific officials left for the scene. lAbout 11 oclock a second train carry ing stretchers, coffins and a number of officials was sent out from the union station. About 1:45 this morning the relief train returned to the city bring ing those who escaped with their lives. It Is believed there were fully 125 people on the lllfated train and only -bout two dozen survivors have been accounted for. With the breaking of the day the full horror of the scene, which was concealed to a great degree by the mantle of night, became appar ent. Wreckage Is visible in all direc tions, dead bodies being visible here and there in the piles of debris of cars, driftwood and mud. Many of the bodies were carried down Fountain creek by the wall of water vhlch had force enough to carry several coaches nearly four miles away from the point where they went through the bridge.

A cloudburst had filled the creek and water was flowing over the trestle when the train started across. The bridge went down under the weight of the train and the baggage car, smoker and chair car were precipi tated into the torrent. The engine got almost across but fell back Into the water. The body of Engineer Henman was found two hundred feet down the river. AH the cars were washed down the stream. The express car was found not far away with the safe open and its contents gone. The chair car was half a mile from the scene of the accident half filled with sand in which were buried the bodies of many passengers. The smoker was washed still fur ther down the stream and was not located for several hours after the time of the accident. Dry creek empties into the Fountain less than a half mile below the wreck. There was no water in Dry creek two hours after the accident. The bodies of two women and a girl, probably 15 years old, which were the first to be recovered, were found half a mile be low the wreck. These two were among the occupants of the chair car. The bodies when found were covered with mud and have not been identi fied. Chief of Police Shoup of Pueblo and twenty-five police are on the ground with 200 people assisting in the search for bodies. Undertaker Collier is at the scene and the bodies are being placed in boxes and brought to this city. The chair car was found a mile from the scene of the accident half filled with sand, under which a num ber of bodies were buried. Search for tlie Cars. When Division Superintendent Bowen WiESSI reached the scene of the wreck the missing cars had not been located and the passengers and train hands who ac companied him organised searching parties to follow the course of the river. The three cars were found close- to the shore in the Fountain creek of which Dry creek is a tributary and which in turn flows into the Arkansas river. Most of the dead were in the cars buried under the debris. The bodies of three young women were washed upon the bank of the river three-quarters of a mile below the scene of the wreck. J. M. Killen, a Pueblo hardware mer chant, was swept down stream but crawled out from the wreckage a mile below the scene of the accident. He was so badly injured and so exhausted from his struggle in the water that he was unable to talk coherently. When Superintendent Bowren of the Pueblo division was notified from Pin ion station by passengers who had escaped and who had walked through the blinding rain to the nearest tele graph station, he immediately sent a hurry call for all surgeons and nurses in the city to follow him on relief trains and taking an engine and car quickly to the scene of the wreck. One train followed another from the city in quick succession and every available physician responded to the call, accompanied by a large supply of medicines and a number of nurses. In the meantime measures were taken for the equipment of a hospital train, and that left Pueblo later in the night. In addition to the surgeons and nurses a car load of coffins was sent out. Passengers on the Pullmans were in the meantime attempting to assist the victims, but no trace could be found of the cars which had .been precipitated into the stream. The water was so deep' that the engine and tender were entire ly immersed, and the rain falling in such a torrent that there was danger of part of the track being washed out. Fireman Mayfield said that as the en gine struck the trestle it seemed to rear up and fall upon its side, falling to the right or engineer's side. The fire man Jumped and escaped. Cries Heard a Mile Away. The operator at Eden, a mile away, heard the cries for help and rushed to the creek. When he got there not a person could be found who had eone down in the wreck. The cries had been followed by a complete silence, and ap parently the passengers in all three coaches had gone down to death. It was reported that there were 100 pas sengers in the three cars that went down. Chief Dispatcher Butler states that this is about a correct estimate of the number. It is probable that a complete list of the dead will never be made known The conductor's reports were on his person and have not been recovered. Few Can Be Identified. At 10:30 the number of bodies recov ered approximated 22, few of which have been identified. Special trains are leaving Pueblo ev ery few minutes and thousands of per sons are patrolling the banks of the Fountain river into which the cars were carried by the flood, searching for bod ies, but the stream is so swollen that but little progress can be made. As the engine struck the trestle, which had been weakened by the rush of waters, it gave way and the train plunged down, one of the cars being en tirely lost in the muddy stream and the other was carried nearly four miles down the river and very few of those in them could have escaped. Owing to the fact that the conductor's list of names was lost in the confusion follow ing the accident, only an estimate of the dead and missing can be had. The railroad officials on the scene, who are familiar with the details admit that the list will range between 80 and 100 and some place it even higher. Shortly after daybreak many hun dreds of persons began swarming to the scene of the wreck and the greatest ex citement prevailed in tnis city, where all kinds of rumors were circulated and it was with difficulty any authentic news could be obtained. The banks of the river were lined as far down as the Fourth street via duct with people anxiously watching for bodies that might float past and some were taken out several miles from the scene of the accident. The fire and police departments of this city placed men at work early patrolling and dragging the river all the way from Pueblo to Eden, but their heroic efforts have availed but little owing to the swollen condition of the stream but much better progress will come shortly as the river is falling rapidly and when its normal condition is reached it is not thought great diffi culty will be had in recovering the bodies of the ill-fated passengers, but several hours of suspense must be borne in the interim. Quicksand Prevents Rescue. On account of having no boats and the prevalence of quicksand at the scene, the east side of the river could not be reached and here it is expected many bodies will be found. The rescuers are suffering a great hardship, many of them having been constantly at work since last night without food or relief of any kind, the cold of last night nearly exhausting them. The river is receding slowly and bodies are being discovered on sand bars partially covered by the mud and sand washing over them. They are being brought to the city and placed in the morgues, where thirty so far have been taken, only a few of which have been identified, al though the bodies have been viewed by thousands of people. A force of nearly 500 well organized men are now at work under the di rection of able officers and rapid de velopments are promised. Many persons reported as lost earlier have since been located and many of them had narrow escapes, some of them being severely hurt. The escape of the fireman, Dave Mayfield, was almost miraculous. Crawling out of the cab In which his companion, the en gineer, had perished, he searched vain ly for the latter, finally abandoning the search, he walked the distance to the station and gave the alarm. He then collapsed and was brought to the hospital in a serious condition. John M. Killin of Pueblo also had a narrow escape, being found uncon scious and taken from the top of a car which had w-ashed down the river. Up to noon ten more bodies nad been add ed to the identified list, tnt the morgues presented such a" confused appearance that identification Was nec essarily very slow and difficult. List of Missing Grows. The list of missing also has been augmented considerably and every few minutes adds to the horrible details of the story. A visit to the morgues presented a horrible picture. Relatives and friends were anxiously seeking friends and loved ones suDDOsed to oe among tne blackened, dirty and almost unrecog nizable bodies, piiea in rows in ai ferent. rooms of the undertaking es tablishments. The work apparently wraa being con ducted with as much system as was possible, bodies being carded as fast as recognized and many or mem oeing taken away immediately ;and several sent to their homes in other cities. The streets of this city present a picture such as probably never was witnessed before. Women and men are to be seen rushing frantically from one place to another wringing thei- hands in anguish and imploring those supposed to be in possession of information to tell them the fate of their relatives and friends and every few moments a wall can be heard as they have found what they sought for yet nopea not to nna. tne norriDle real ity that their fears we're confirmed. TRAIN ARRIVES BEARING DEAD, Major Whitman of Kansas Among the Victims. Pueblo, Colo., Aug. 8. Another train has arrived here from the scene of the wreck near Pinion. It has aboard the bodies of some of the vic tims. Eighteen bodies had been taken from the wreck when the train left Eden. They were so covered with mud that only a few could be Identified. The following have been positively iaen tinea: MAJ. F. H. WHITMAN, from some point in Kansas. He was identified by one of the rescued passengers who was chatting with htm just before the disaster. J. F. REES, express messenger. CHARLES HINDMAN, engineer. J. H. SMITH, conductor. VINA SIBLEY.stenographer for Con gressman H. M.

Wrecked Train Is Fastest Sent Out of Denver on Tbat Road. Denver, Col., Aug. A Passenger tram No. 11, the Denver ant Rio Grande an Missouri Pacific world1 fair flyer, is the fastest train sent out of Denver by the Denver and Rio Grande and usually car ries a heavy passenger list. Yesterday the train was made up of six .cars ex press, smoker, diner, chair car rnd two sleepers. Nearly every coach was well filled when the train pulled out of Den ver at 5 o'clock. The train makes th run to Colorado Springs in two hours and five minutes and one hour and ten minutes- is the schedule time from Colorado Springs to Pueblo, and the heavy train- was whirl ing along through the storm to make this fast time when it dropped into the stream. The train was in charge of Conductor J. H. Smith of this city, one of the most trusted men in the employ of the com pany and he Is believed to have been lost, as were Engineer Hinman and Globe Ex press Messenger Rees. The higher officials of the road are ab sent from the state. General Manager and Vice President Schlacks being in New York. General Superintendent Coughlin on his vacation and Manager Edson on a trip of inspection in Utah, but the offi cials in charge gave prompt directions to furnish relief to the injured and spare no pains to recover the bodies of the dead. The disaster was the worst that has ever occurred on the Denver Rio Grande railroad. Dry creek, where the accident happened, is one of the most dangerous points on the road. It is not far from Butte, where two years ago washouts occurred which crippled the service of the line, but entailed no loss of life. It is close to the foothills which by reason of repeated cloud bursts and washouts, have been slowly closing in, the bed of the creek continually be coming deeper until it has reached a depth of about 25 feet. Trains Nos. 3 and 15, preceding No. 11, passed over the bridge and reached Pueblo safely. The rains had been se vere but officials did not apprehend any danger to Dry creek as a recent inspec tion showed that the bridge was in first class condition. No reports of trouble on the line were received until the message was received at Pueblo at 9 o'clock that train No. 11 had been wrecked. Just prior to that time there were reports that a heavy rainfall was in progress in the vicinity of Eden, but there was no Intimation of a cloud burst. So far as the officials of the road can determine the engineer evi dently did not see the trouble until it was too late to stop the train wKleh was going at a high rate of speed. Whether the engine and the torrent of water from the cloudburst struck the bridge simultaneously or the torrent had already undermined the structure is not known, but the reports at the Denver office say that the air was turn ed on and that this saved the diner and sleepers from being precipitated Into the creek. If the water was at a high mark the depth ranged from 20 to 25 feet and the current was irresistible. When the batreaee car. smoker and chair car left the tracks and plunged into the stream they Were swept down by the current and the trucks torn off. This lightened them and the volume of water can be understood when it was reported by Superintendent Bowren that they were carried four miles before they ran ashore. The three cars were found near each other. Wires being down, only bulletins giv ing meagre details of the disaster could be obtained here during the night. A relief train was sent out from this city at 1 a. m. today carrying Dr. J. W. O Connor, chief surgeon of the Den ver Rio Grande and other physicians. 1,500 Feet of Track Gone. Denver, AugT 8. General Passenger Agent S. K. Hooper said at 10 o'clock today that the Denver Rio Grande railroad had no 'statement to make at present as the officials had no news which had not been published. The latest dispatch received at the company's offices is dated at 2:40 this morning. The officials do not believe there were more than seventy people (Continued on Page Six.) IND0RSESTR1KE. All the Labor Unions In Chicago Take Action. Pledge Moral and Financial Sap port to Batchers. INCLUDE 300,000 MEN. Each Member Will Be Assessed a Small Amount. To Be Paid Weekly to Help Along the Fight. Chicago, Aug. 8. All the labor un ions in Chicago have indorsed the stock yards strike. After listening to the strikers' side of the controversy, which was presented to them by Michael J. Donnelly, president of the striking butchers' union, the Chicago Federation of Labor, which is com posed of every labor organization in Chicago and has a membership of nearly 300,000, adopted resolutions pledging the moral and financial sup port of the federated body as long as the strike continues. Each member of the central body will be assessed a small sum per week, and the whole amount will be turned over to the striking unions to help in the support of the strikers and their families dur ing the struggle with the packers. The exact amount each member is to be assessed was left in the hands of a committee, with orders to report re sults today. While the officials of the Federation of Labor were unable to give an exact estimate of the amount of money the strikers would secure from this source, it was .stated that the total would be well up in the thous ands each week. A settlement of the strike seems to be as remote as at any time since the struggle for supremacy began four weeks ago. The packers, while claim ing that they will soon have their af fairs in normal condition again so suc cessful have they been in securing non-union men, still admit that so far they have been able to get but 550 of their old employes back and that the majority of their men are un skilled workers. In the last statement given out by the packers, it was said that nearly half as many men were at work now as before the strike began. These men have been brought to Chi cago from all parts of the country, the majority of them having never seen a meat packing plant before coming here. With, these men, the packers have succeeded in accomplishing a great deal of work, but, according to the strikers, every animal that has been slaughtered since the strike was called has been at a financial loss to the packers, as in the majority of cases a lack of skilled workmen has made it impossible to operate the by products departments and this source of revenue, which, under normal con ditions, is a clear profit to the packers, has been allowed to go to waste. According to Michael J. Donnelly. president of the Butchers' union, the organization which precipitated the strike, the strikers are in a better po sition than they were on July 12, the day the original strike was called. SHOT AT THE CROWD. One of Swift's Watchmen Fires on the Strikers. Kansas City, Aug. 8. There was a mixup of union and non-union men at Swift s packing house in Armourdale last night about 7:15 o'clock, when two carloads of strike breakers were being taken into the plant through the cattle chute, which ended in a watch man firing one shot at a crowd of strikers who were yelling at the non union men. Fhe bullet did not strike anyone but rfirrowly missed the head of Mrs. W. II. Bidwell of 100 Pawnee avenue. Armourdale, who was driving by Swift's at the time in a carriage, accompanied by her husband and chil dren. The bullet struck the pavement on the opposite side of the carriage from the plant and gave the occupants a good fright. Union men who saw the snooting say that the watchman had no provo cation for such an act. A large num ber of union men were standing under the chute and calling to the strike breakers to quit work, but say they were not throwing rocks. The police department tried to se cure the arrest of the watchman who did the shooting, but failed. The manager of the Swift plant, however, promised to ascertain the name of the watchman and turn him over to the police. The crowd hung around the plant for almost an hour, and for a time trouble was feared. Finally, however, the officers persuaded the union men to go to their homes. The Armourdale packing plants at tempted to import a number of strike breakers from points in Kansas and Missouri yesterday. Two carloads of men from northern Kansas were In tercepted at the union depot by strik ers, who got into the cars and per suaded about fifty of the strike break ers to desert and refuse to go to work. Of the .two carloads It was said that not over ten men went Into the plants. These went to Swift's and Cudahy's. Those who refused to go to work told the strikers at labor headquarters that they had been hired without any knowledge of there being a strike in the city, and that when they found it out, they were ready to join the strikers. The pickets appointed by the unions to be on duty at the various packing houses were around the gates all day yesterday watching for nonunion men to come out of the plants and when they- did, the strikers talked to them and tried to get them not to go back in. Jerry Peavy, a negro living at 202 Delaware street, left the Swift plant about 1 o'clock yesterday, and was chased by a number of union men. He ran to his home and secured a gun and coming back near the crowd, flourished the weapon, warning the strikers to stand back. He was arrested by Officer Krause and locked up at police station No. 3. Peavy told the police that he had been chased a number of times and that strikers had thrown rocks at him on one occasion. He said he feared for his life. J. K. Smith, a white man living In Kansas City, Mo., who has been employed at the Cudahy plant, was arrested on a charge of carrying a "black jack" weapon. The labor leaders are very much worked up over the fact that conceal ed weapons are continually being found on the strike breakers, and that all the shooting being done is by these men. They say that it will be impossible to keep the strikers quiet If these men are continually allowed to carry guns and not punished whenever one is found with a gun in his possession. The committee having in charge the strikers commissary decided Saturday morning not to distribute any provis ions on Sunday, as had been intended, and so the commissary was closed all day yesterday. It is expected to open up for general distribution according to the rules of the committee today. The stock of provisions was increased con siderably yesterday by donations from a number of wholesale houses and by meats from some of the independent slaughter houses. The Packing Trades council met In labor hall yesterday afternoon and transacted routine business. The exec utive board will meet at 10 o'clock this morning and make plans for the cam paign for this week. Strikers Leave for Europe. Chicago, Aug. 8. Fifty foreigners, nearly all former employes of the stock yards packing house,, left early today for their old homes abroad. They were discouraged, they said, with the predicament that faced them, with no settlement of the strike in sight, living expenses high and their savings dwindling away just before the advent of cold weather. The majority of them spoke no English, though they had been in the country for years. They were Bohemians, Poles and Italians in the number, and all were of a thrifty class who had saved the greater part of the '.money they had earned In the yards. Makes for Socialism. Chicago, Aug. 8. President Donnel ly of the National Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen's union said today: "The packing house strike is th greatest educator of socialism the west has ever experienced. From be ing unconscious socialists the work ers are realizing that they are in reality a part of the great socialist movement. The harsh treatment meted out to the strikers by the pack ers and the inhuman conditions under which they are willing to have men e.nd women live and work in their slaughter houses, has brought organ ized labor to the conclusion that the propertied class has no hesitation in consigning the masses to a fate worse than that of slaves. Mr. Edward Til den's advocacy of child labor in the yards has also added fuel to the flames of socialism. "From this class distinction and recognition will arise the great So cialist third party to achieve reforms by the ballot instead of the strike." WILD MILLETS. James Lore the Target for Un known Marksman. James Love, proprietor of a livery barn on West Sixth avenue, was struck on the arm by a spent bullet early Sun day morning. The shot was fired by an unknown person who has not been located by the police. Mr. Love was but slightly in jured, as the bullet had passed through two plate glass windows before it reached him. Mr. Love was sitting in front of his barn at 1:30 o'clock when he heard a shot and felt a blow on his arm. The bullet did not break the skin. Upon investigation it was discovered that the shot had been fired through the two windows in Gunther's phar macy, on the corner of Sixth and Jack son streets. The shot was fired from the Jackson street side, and passed diagonally through the two windows. Proceeding south along the west side of Jackson street the roisterer fired a second shot through the back door of the drug store, tearing a hole on the prescription case, the bullet lodging in a bottle of medicine, where it was found in the morning.

County Board Decides on Bate of 1 1-2 Mills. Seren-tenths of a Mill Less Than Last Tear. WILL TAKE UP BONDS. Commissioners Will Kednce In debtedness $55,000. "Strictest Economy" Will Be the Motto. The tax levy for 1904 was announced by the county commissioners this morn ing, and shows that the county assess ment proper Is seven-tenths of a mill less than for 1903, while the whole as sessment Is 1.53 mills more. In 1903 the total county levy was .15 1-6 mills, and with the city and city schools Included, it amounted to 51 1-5 mills. For 1904 the total county levy amounts to 14, and with the city and city schools Included, aggregates 52 mills In the city of To peka, This shows the county levy lower and the city levy higher. The latter In creased two mills over last year. Indi cating increased Indeblture. A reduc tion by the state board of equalization decreased the state tax from 6 56-109 mills to 4 86-100 mills. That was di- rectly responsible for the county's de creased levy. Specifying the different levies for 1903 and 1904, they read as follows: For 1903, general revenue, 4 mills; poor fund, i mill; K. N. and D. 1 1-10 mills; C. K. and N., 1 mill; Shawnee fund, 14-100 mill; Kansas avenue bridge, mill; Shawnee county court house, 40-100 mill; bridge scrip, 1 mill; state tax, 5 56-100 mills. For 1904: General revenue, 4 mills: poor fund, 1 mill; general bond, interest and sinking fund. 4 14-100 mills; stats tax, 4 86-100 mills. This gives a total county levy of 15 1-5 mills for 1903 and a total of 14 mills for 1904. The levy for city schools in 1903 was 16 mills. This year it is the same. But for the city proper, the levy in 1903 was 20 mills, while this year it is 23 mills. The total levy for the county with the city and school levies included,amounls to 51 1-5 mills for 190S and 53 mills for 1904. This shows an entire increase of 1 mills in the levy over 1903. For the townships, the levies for the general revenue funds for 1903 and this year, are herewith compared: GENERAL REVENUE. Townifhip. 1!K4. Ve. Rossvll1 5 4 RoiwviHe City 5 6 Silver Lake 3 Silver Lake city 5 6 Soldier i 4 4 Menoken 5 S Topeka 2 S Tecumseh 4 2 Monmouth 5 4 Williamsport 514 5 Auburn 5 Dover 5 6 Mi anion 5 In the county levy, a feature presents itself which was placed before Counts Attorney Hungate for advice. Last year levies were specified for certain funds, such as the K. N. D., the C. K. N., the Kansas avenue bridge, the Shnwnee county court house, and the bridge scrip. This year these were all bunched together and included under one caption called general bond, inter est and sinking fund. The intention cf the commissioners is to levy a certain amount for all these funds and then pay off any individual one which they desire. They say that it will save quite a lot of money each year in the way of Interest. County Attorney Hungate, however, decided adversely In regard to the mat ter. "I shall -tell the commissioners," said Mr. Hungate this morning, "that I believe a levy on all the different funds, bunched into a general one, is unfair. The reason I say this, is because it might in the end work hardships upon some of the bondholders. Supposing the commissioners arbitrarily decide to take the revenue for all the funds, to pay off one particular one, those waiting until the last, might suffer in case of a money stringency, while under the present plan a proportion is paid on each one each year. That is equitable and the other does not appear so to me." Commissioner Sterne was asked to make a statement In regard to the levy, and also on Mr. Hungate's position. He said: "We will practice the closest economy all through the year and In tend to take up about $55,000 worth of bonds. We will get the money from the sinking fund and from the savings on general revenue. We will cut ex penses to their lowest limit. With us It Is economy, while the city has In creased Its levy to lower Its debt. These are two different ways of going at a thing. "In regard to Mr. Hungate's ruling, continued Mr. Sterne, "I am not Just ready to say what ye will do. .tout I think we shall 'bunch' the funds and pay off one at a time In that way. The school board and the city both follow that practice and it has proven very satisfactory. I do not think that any of the bondholders need have a mo ment's worry over their holdings, for the simple reason that a Shawnee coun ty bond on the market is just as good as a government bond. They are all right and I am confident that there will not be any protest from any source. Besides I do not see that it is illegal. It is not necessary, however, to go into that phase of the matter. Shawnee count" bonds are good. They are good as goTd and the market recognizes the fact." TOULON ON FIRE. Great French Military Store House Is Burning. Toulon, France. Aug. 8.

New York's two weeks of trotting will begin at the Empire City track today and will be followed by a week of rac ing at the Brighton Beach track. Something over 325 entries are In the list sent out yesterday and hardly a trotter or pacer of any prominence In this country is unnamed in the thirty races at Empire, and a similar list is expected when the Brighton Beach entries are sent out. Dash racing of the short, sharp and decisive style which has made run ning races so popular will be tried for the first time among the trotters, and with two stake races daily the meeting should be of more than ordi nary interest.

Cincinnati, Aug. 8. There is scarce ly any change In the averages of the Reds 'since the last batch was given out last week. This fact is due to the wholesale expulsion of some of the star players of the team. Odwell still continues right on Seymour's heels for the premier battership of the local club and has also broken into the ranks of the long-distance hitters. Harper has gone to the front again as the leader of the Cincinnati pitch era, with Walker second and Kellum a good third. One year ago today the Reds were fourth, with an average of .522, against third in 1904, with .589, and at that they are not playing as fast a game as they did In 1903. Last season up to date in 922 games, the team had made 13 8 two-base hits. 48 three-base hits. 12 home runs, 98 stolen bases and 68 sacrifice hits. This year In 9 5 games they have made 126 two-base hits, SO three-base hits, 14 home runs, 113 stolen bases, and 73 sacrifice hits. Fits May Fight the Winner. Butte. Mont.. Aug. 8.

Tf Jim Jeffries defends his laurels suc cessfully against Jack Munroe's at tack he will in all probability hurry to St. Louis and appear on the exposition grounds in an exhibition entitled "A Champion In Training." While careful not to disseminate the idea that he Is certain of beating Munroe, Jeffries frequently remarks that, the crop of available heavyweights is growing short. He will not box a negro for the championship, and he fails to see any white opponent. loomif up beyond Munroe. With the work in the ring a blank prospect Jeffries thinks it a good plan to arrange a little show of his own and travel with it. It has been sug gested to him that his strong man stunts with the big "sand baby" would prove highly interesting to the fair visitors in St. Louis, and in fact to the public in every section of the coun try. The scheme as showed out is to have a gymnasium scene fitted up with the sand baby as the central feature. It is safe to say that not one man in a mil lion can toy with the weighty bag as Jeffries does, and the champion pur poses to have a standing offer of $500 to the person who can duplicate his feats or exercises. Jeffries put in a hard day today. He worked for nearly two hours in the gymnasium in the forenoon and wound up with a series of sprints out on the open. After sundown he went on the road.

DOfiEBYMR. DUNN Ills Three Ease Hit GaTe Saints 'J Onlj Scores. Result of Sunday's Game Iola 8 aud Topeka 4. TOtiK THEIR MEASURE. Tiie Nine Little Tailors Easily Outplayed Celestials. Collins Surrired Another Game Without Military Protection. Before the season's largest crowd, 1, 650 people, in a tailor-made game on Sunday afternoon, the Saints bended their knees to Milton, Ida's premier slabsman, and shouldered the yoke of defeat, labeled 8 to 4. The contest abounded In brilliant playing. -That fact the error column shows: -Iola 1, Topeka 4. But consult the ribbon that contains the hits and it Is a story without words: Iola 10, To peka 4. Turn over the page and see what the pitchers were up to: Struck out, by Milton 7, by Howie 3. And then a peep through the knothole at the sto len base record. It registers three thefts for Iola and not a one for the Celestials. The suit fit the first time it was tried on and the "Nine Little Tail ors" from the gasbelt did a good Job. Dunn Brings in Three. It was one of those games which "Roxie" Roach, hallowed by his name, used to say "began at the beginning." Frick, the second man up for Iola, had a grudge against some little pickanin nies who were eeeing the game free from the top of the right field fence. Accordingly he lambasted one against those boards which darkened the ground all around that garden for a few minutes. While Cole was running after the horse-hide, Jimmie rode all the way to third. Jack Freil then pro ceeded to make a bad throw after stop ping Shumeyer's grounder cleanly, and Iola had one. In the third they glued a couple more on -the blackboard. Frlck got a base on balls. Risley singled. "Big Dutch" Shumeyer found one of Howie's serves to his liking and tore i v. v. it- h.tiTAAn ttifk riht. up ,iic .v and center gardens, Frlck and Risley raced nome. Shiveley Upsets Collins. c At this stage the scofe was 3 to 0 n lola's favor. Topeka c'ame to the: bat and two men followed each other ou the put out route. Then Milton passed Cole and Schrant to first in succession. Hurlburt filled up the sacks with a neat single. And with rising of the sun on Topeka'S fortunes came one Dunn.. It was his first day In the Missouri Val ley league with Topeka, although he played here in days gone by.- "Oppor tunity" knocked three resounding whacks at his door. The crowd was "dunning" him for a hit. He paid the bill in new currency and all the out standing interest at a compound rate. Milton dished up a beauty. It got no further than Dunn's bat, before it took a northward tumble. Shumeyer found it against the left field fence, three runs found themselves on Topeka's side of the score board, and Dunn found him self on third and in high favor with Topeka fandom. And then to swell the balloon to a bursting point, Bankhead immediately made a bad throw after picking up Abbott's grounder and Dunn raced in with the fourth run, putting Tnneka in the lead. The grandstand jumped up into the air. The bleachers turned double summersaults in agony of delight. The fans had a chance to "raise it" and they got in their lift. But with it too fell the curtain on the scoring. Not another Saint hurried his wearied footsteps o'er the rubber. For the next two innings there was peace and quiet on the deep. Then the

Iolites got busy again. Successive hits by Wilson, Selgle and Milton brought one in the seventh, a pass by Howie-to Risley meant a run after Milsap's three bagger, and a hit by Seigle and Dunn's error made one more in the eighth. For good measure Shumeyer and Milsap both doubled in the ninth and came home on throw-ins following flies to deep center. Collins umpired, and as usual made a spectacle of himself: His work is not nearly as raw as bis actions. This town does not like him. President Shlveley came up from Kansas City in response to a telegram to investigate tne protest following Saturday's game. "I guess I'll send you somebody else," said Shiveley, "not because Collins" work is poor, but because it seems to be the wise thing to do." Forthwith he sent a telegram to Gus Alberts to figure be hind the indicator today. The score: IOLA. Plrtvpr. AB R H O A E Scoggins, rf. 4 0 0 3 0 0 Frick, 3b 4 2 1.2 10 Risley, ss 4 2 112 0 Shumeyer.

The Saints Got After Pitcher Morgan For Three Runs. The Saints did two things Satur day afternoon, despite the fact that they were beaten by a score of 7 to 3 by Iola. They erased the hoodoo which Pitcher Morgan has held over them all year. In every game up until Saturday's he had shut them out. Not a run had the Celestials made whle he was In the box. The other thing which Topeka accomplished was to write out Umpire Collins death warrant. In this they were liberally aided and abetted by the crowd. Collins" demise was the feature of the game. It began with his foolish method of announcing the points. The crowd hissed his effort into silence. Captain Abbott was all but fined and sent to the bench for giving "his umps" to understand before the game that his decisions must be fair. Col 11ns did fairly well for. about two in nings. Then his eyesight on bails and strikes wavered like a weed in hurricane. He had a bunch of close base decisions and every one went against Topeka. Iola got the better of it all the way through. Finally Schrant threw out a base-thief who tried to pilfer second. But -Collins called him safe. It was plain then that his soul was cauterized to To peka's interests and the crowd would have wagered Its .Sunday dinner against a handful of shinglenails that Collins maJUciously .made his decisions against the Saints. The crowd roared at him mercilessly and threatened him with, violence. Hurlburt, Topeka's new.left fielder handed Collins a whole bunch.of h-is opinions, tied up with a string of compliments.' For that "Spec" was shelved on the bench for the remainder of the game and Hughes took his place. But the real thunderheads began to pop jip .at the close of the contest. Collins called the third Topeka man ouPt'an-4 then hustled to the Side lines and'arihed himself with a bat.' The crowd g6t down on the field and hoot 3 Him to a finish. Milsap of the Gas lighters took the stick away from him. Then'" Bert' Lucas, sheriff of Shawnee county appeared on the field and with the help of "Bob" Miler, escorted "his umps" to the car. The party got off on Qulncy and Eighth street. About 50 young men and boys followed and had a good time. They at least scared Collins to death, even though not one of them would have probably hurt him. The Topeka team protested him Sat urday night, and asked for a new face behind the indicator, for Sunday. The contest itself had good features, but they were choked out like young corn by weeds. Carter pitched a rat tling good game. But Morgan. was in the square for Iola and he is hard to beat. It looked, however, as if he was slated for a trouncing in the first inning when successive hits brought tn a run. But then for six straight acts following he proved invincible. An error and a hit gave another in the eighth and a brace of singles added one more as the curtain dropped. The third and fourth innings proved bon anzas for the Gaslighters. Six hits, two errors and a hit batsman netted a total of six chalk marks in those two rounds and clinched the game right then and there. The score: IOLA. Player.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING AUGUST 8, 1904. 3 T v. Y. i f KAfJSASjJEWS. At Last the Uorernment Comes to the Aid of the State. IT II I Trj to KalHP the Underflow for Irrigation. KOW TO MAKE A SURVEY Chief of Federal Water Inresti gat ion Tells His Plans. The Good Work of Congressman Murdock It Shown. Wichita, Aug. 8. Elwood Mead, of Washington, chief of Irrigation inves tigation in the department of agricul ture, said today that he had Just order ed .Mr. Wright, his deputy, to make a urvey of western Kansas with a view of ascertaining the feasibility of rais ing the underflow for irrigation pur poses. That survey will be made at once. Should the rlan prove reason- f able in cost an experiment will be made to show whether or not it Is practica ble. Mr. Wright has been in Garden City since the early summer making experiments in pumping. The fact that the survey is to be made immediately will be good news to the people of the semi-arid district which will be affected. Hundreds of people in that part of the state have contended for years that the underflow ws sufficient to furnish the water nec essary for irrigating the surface. The natural slope of the land from the mountains in Colorado is from the west to the east. They held that by going into the side of that slope the under flow would be tapped and the water could be piped to the surface. i'hU would make unnecessary pumps and pumping stations. The water would be raised or rather poured out on the sui face below it by gravitation. The idea is a new one and never has been tried in any part of the country up to this time. It has been talked by western Kansas for many years, but it was not until Congressman Murdock and Mr. Mead took up the matter that the gov ernment took notice of it. "I consider it the biggest and best thing I have done since I was elected to congress," said Congressman Murdock today after Mr. Mead had called upon Him. "If it does not cost too much," said the irrigation expert, "we will make an attempt to carry the plan Into opera tion in a small way. We will tap the underflow and carry tt to the surface through cement or terra cotta pipes. The survey will begin this month and the other work will be done immedi ately upon its completion." Mr. Mead was en route to Garden City when he stopped oft here and in formed the Seventh district congress man of his action. depot to get a box of whisky. The women chased him away with hatch ets and then chopped the box to pieces and broke the whisky bottles, fclckle- bour went to Ness City and had seven of the women arrested. tne follow ing are the names of the women ar- t I 1. 1 Um "KT T restea: jars. d. iuuu.i, Newman, Mrs. S.

Bermingham, assistant secretary of the Oil Producers' association, tempo rarily organized at Independence on July 30. and which adjourned to meet at Chanute on August 9 to perfect the organization, said today: "From reports received by me from the various towns in the oil belt. I feel justified in saying that the attend ance at the meeting to be held here next Tuesday will exceed that of any other Independent oil meeting ever held in the country. Letters are com ing in every mail, saying that the towns are all going to be on hand with strong delegations. "The convention will meet without a fixed programme. None of the work will be marked out for It. An organization of some kind will be formed, but just along what lines it is Impossible now to determine. The one idea is to have an association which will protect the interests of the producer and those interested in the production of crude petroleum, vv hat form this will take is a matter for the convention to decide. One thing is certain, and that is that there are no cut-and-dried schemes for the con vention to indorse. The meeting will be a mass meeting of oil producers and those interested in production, and nothing more. By the terms of the resolution adopted at Independ ence, every person financially interest ed in oil production, whether he is actually a producer or not, is entitled to a seat in the convention and to participation in its deliberations. This lets in the promoters and even the stockholders of producing companies." OAILROADNEWS. Santa Fe Operators Saj They Mare a Grieranee. Claim ltoad la Dropping All Members of 0. R. T.

Brown county has also been promised county rural delivery with service to every farmer's home in the county. A Big Well at Chautauqua. Chautauqua, Kas., Aug. 8. The Orient Oil, Gas and Mining company has brought in one of the best wells in this field on the Perkises land, in section 25, township 34, range 11. It has been practically certain for a long time that this was about the best prospect In the county, as Hay has 13 wells joining it on the south and Lemon 13 wells on the east. Orient No. 1 is in the southeast corner of the Perkises land and right up against this stray production. This well Is pronounced by experts to be one of the best in this locality. It is just a mile north of Spurlock, and will start out at better than 100 barrels. Skull Fractured In Saloon Fight. Leavenworth, Kas., Aug. 8. Muffet Wise, a young farmer from Emmet, Wyandotte county, was seriously in jured last night in a saloon fight. He came to town in the afternoon and went into a Choctaw street saloon with two companions. A row started and Wise was hit in the head with a blunt instrument of some sort and his skull fractured. The police closed the place and arrested all witnesses. Wise re fused to have surgical attention, but the chief of police had him taken to the Leavenworth hospital, where the skull was trepanned. Wise says he has a mother and sister at Emmet. They were notified. Was Cruslicd by the Cars. Wellington, Kas., Aug. 8. Arthur Worden, 14 years of age. son of Charles Wrorden, of this place, while trying with some young companions to board a moving Rock Island freight Sunday stepped in between the cars, the wheels crushing one of his legs below the knee and inflicting serious internal injuries. Kansas City, Aug. 8. According to a member of the Order of Railway Teleg raphers, the Santa Fe is dropping all operators and station agents on its sys tem who are members of that order. It Is said the Santa Fe has taken warning by the trouble it had with its organized machinists and by the telegraph op erators' strike now in progress on the "Katy," and intends to break up the organization on the system before the telegraphers are strong enough to cause any trouble. "We are getting letters every day from Santa Fe headquarters asking very plainly if we are members of the O. R. T. or if we ever belonged to the order," he said. "It does no good to tell a story about it, for if a fellow is a member, or has been it is not very hard for the Santa Fe to find this out. and when it does, off goes the operator's head. "The Santa Fe Is making no particu lar noise about this movement, but is sending the letters of inquiry to all operators and station agents, as many of the latter also belong to the O. xt. T. Many operators have already been let out, after it was learned that tney were O. R. T. men. "I have two men in my mind now who worked many years steadily for the road, but were suddenly let out. T.

McLennon owns one of the largest farms in Atchison county, Leaves Rock Island to Take Position With E. P. N. E. Railway. Dalhart, Tex., Aug. 8. Rock Island railroad circles are again stirred up In a local manner, and the E. P. N. E. railway secures a good man. Mr. Thos. C. Sunderland, who for the past twelve years has been connected with the Rock Island mechanical depart ment at Goodland, Colorado Springs, and Dalhart as chief clerk, has been offered the chief clerkship of the E. P. N. E. railway mechanical depart ment at Alamogordo, N. M.. at a hand some increase in salary, and leaves for his new location today. Mr. Sunder land commenced railroad work when 17 years old. Always attentive to business, courteous to his co-employes, he numbers his friends by the score, He stands high as a Royal Arch Ma son and the chapter at Dalhart loses an Al secretary and companion whose influence in the upbuilding and ad vancement of Masonry has been most noteworthy. It Is also announced this morning by the mechanical department of the Rock Island system that Mr. Chas. A. Peal, former clerk at Dalhart, has been advanced to the chief clerkship, caused by the resignation of T. C. Sunderland. NEW DATE SET. Rock Island to Open Kansas City-St. Louis Line on August 14.

The land lies along the west bank of the Walnut river. CONSOLIDATION RUMOR DENIED. Report That Missouri Pacilic and Wa bash Would Merge Is Denied. Chicago, Aug. 8. It is stated that there is no truth in the rumor that the Missouri Pacific and the Wabash would be consolidated and Mr. Ram sey made president of the new sys tem. The Gould management, how ever, is said to be looking for a man to succeed Russell Harding as vice president and general manager of the Missouri Pacific. It was said yesterday that B. B. Mitchell, freight traffic manager for the Michigan Central, had been of fered the position of traffic director for the Vanderbllt system. Such a posi tion, however might conflict with the Northern Securities decision, as a traf fic director would have control of the Michigan Central, Nickel Plate and Lake Shore, all parallel and competing lines. Baggage Was Ransacked. Ponca City, Okla., Aug. 8. Percy J. Lee. night operator, and Granville J. Mulhern, baggageman for the Atchi son, Topeka Santa Fe at this place, have been placed in the Kay county jail at Newkirk on a larceny charge. They are said to have confessed to the special agent of the company to hav ing ransacked baggage that was left In the depot and to having taken con siderable property. Property to the value of about $100 was recovered. It was owned by a party of Omaha In dians, who arrived several days ago to visit the Poncas. They left-their baggage in the depot and while it was there a number of articles of Indian wearing apparel were taken. Included in the list is a war bonnet belonging to one of the head men of the tribe. Lee and Mulhern both say they are from Philadelphia. They said they wanted to take the Indian relics back home. the Allegheny mountains "to""fhe east- at aaaKfarrl With the routing of traffic beyond Its own lines the Burlington has noth- ing to do. The shipper selects his own route, and the Burlington makes ab- solutely no discrimination.; This is true of all the "Hill" lines which make through rates over any una the ship per may select. The general belief that Mr. Hill has long been anxious to secure a e-ulf connection appears to have given to this move on the part or an elevator company a degree of importance to which it is hardly entitled. Some day there may be a "Hill" route to New Orleans or some other southern port, dui 11 is not in signi at present. ORIENT PROGRESS GRATIFYING More Than 1,100 Western Men Are Stockholders. Kansas City, Aug. 8. More than 1,100 western shippers, merchants and farmers are interested, as stockhold ers, in the success of A. E. Stilwell's Orient railway enterprise. These men live in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Ok lahoma. Indian Territory and Ne braska. Such a showing has never before been made by a railroaj enter prise in thfs country and is indicative of the interest felt in the enterprise which will connect Kansas City with tne ports of the Orient. The construction progress of the road is very satisfactory to Mr. Stil well and his associates. "By Septem ber 1," said Mr. Stilwell yesterday, "Orient tracks will connect Wichita Kan., with Fairview, Okla. This will give us a continuous stretch of 140 miles of rail. By the same date fif teen miles more of track will be laid south of Fairview. In Mexico con struction progress is equally as satis factory. Several syndicates of Eng lish capitalists have recently invested in mineral properties near the Orient road in Mexico and one company, of which John Hayes Hammond, prob ably the most noted American mining engineer. Is a member, has acquired large interests east and west of Chi huahua. "Our steamer service on the Pacific coast is already a success," continued Mr. Stilwell. "We practically carry the bulk of the travel between Topolo- bampo and other ports on a coast line 600 miles in extent, in fact, every auxiliary interest of the Orient enter prise is prospering and the work is going ahead at a rate which is gratify ing to all concerned. Former Roadmaster Not Guilty. South McAlester, I. T., Aug. 8 Charles King, former roadmaster for the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulr rail way, at Haileyville, was discharged by Judge Wright Saturday at his pre liminary hearing on the charge of padding the payroll of an extra gang engaged In construction work. Peace In Grain Rates. Chicago, Aug. 8. Western traffic of firials have prevented a demoralization in grain and flour rates. The Great Western had put in a 9-cent propor tional rate on through flour from the Missouri river by the way of Chicago whereas the rate on grain is 12 cents. The grain men protested, and the flour rate was withdrawn. An Old "Katy" Roadmaster Dead, Sedalia, Mo... Aug. 8. Peter Rock well, many years general roadmaster of the Missouri, Kansas Texas rail way, who retired a year ago on ac count of ill-health, died Saturday ev ening. He was 70 years old and leaves two children. PARKER'S SUNDAY. Candidate Went to Church in a Steam Launch. Chain of Elevators on Burlington. Chicago, Aug. 8. Reports that a company owning a chain of elevators on the Burlington road and which has heretofore shipped its grain through Newport News contemplates building a large elevator at New Orleans and hereafter sending its consignments through the latter port, has in many circles been regarded as significant of some new traffic arrangement between Burlington and Illinois Central. This .Is not the case. The matter is of large significance as showing the nat ural tendency of traffic to follow the line of least resistance, which is down the Mississippi valley rather than over Esopus, N. Y., Aug. 8. Prepara tions for the coming to Rosemount of the notification committee occupied the attention of Judge Parker Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. William Rodie, of New Tork, were his guests for the after noon. Mr. Rodie is a member of the New York Democratic state executive committee, and expects to take an ac tive part in the campaign in New York state. He will be in charge of the Sagamore, which will bring the com mittee from New York on Wednesday. The boat will land its passengers at the Esopus dock, and then anchor in midstream until the ceremonies have been "concluded. William F. Sheehan, chairman of the national executive committee. called on Judge Parker late In the af ternoon. He will return to New York today, when the committee will hold its first meeting. Judge George Gray, of Delaware. and former Secretary Daniel S. La- mont, who had arranged to visit Rose mount, were unable to make connec tion to reach there, and it is possible now they will not be able to consult with Judge Parker until the notifica tion ceremonies. Judge Gray is stay ing with Mr. Lamont at Millbrook, N. H. Judge Parker and members of his family attended church services at Kingston, making the trip in the steam launch. DAVIS GOES TWICE TO CHURCH. Elkins, W. Va., Aug. 8. In keeping with his usual custom, ex-Senator Henry G. Davis attended Davis Memo rial Presbyterian church, both morn ing and evening, Sunday, the interim being spent quietly about his home. Ex-Senator Davis will leave today for Mount Lake Park, Md., to be present at Hobson day at the Chautauqua. Senator Davis will probably make a short talk introducing Hobson. NEWSBOYS' DAY. A National Association Will Be Form ed at St. Louis, St. Louis, Aug. 8. The hundreds of newsboys' organizations and the thou sands of newspapers over the country are exhibiting a more than ordinary interest in the celebration of newsboys' day, August 16. It will mark an epoch in their development by being the birth day of a national newsboys' association. The features of the day will be the ceremonies In Festival hall and con certs by newsboys' bands. The cere monies include an address of welcome by President Francis and a response by John E.

Tha Kind You Have Always Bough: Bears the Signature f WRIGHT'S FIGURES Are Disputed by Congressman Cow, herd of Missouri. Washington, Aug.- 8. Chairman Cowherd of the Democratic congres sional campaign committeee has is sued a statement in -refutation of re cently published tables from the bu reau of labor relative" to the increase in. wages and the cost. ?f living. Mr. Cowherd's conclusions are as follows: "In the bulletin on cost of living and wages, recently issued by the bureau of statistics, the methods adopted are as remarkable as the- conclusions reached. Wholesale prices have- al ways been the standard by which the rise or fall of the cost of living has been computed. Had ColcJhel Wright followed the customary course of using wholesale prices, he would have been confronted with the excellent tables issued by Dun and Bradstreet's, both recognized as commercial author ities. Dun's table of prices shows that from July 1897, the low point, to March, 1904, the -highest point, the cost of living increased 43 per cent. The most skillful juggler could not show such a rise in wages. Party necessities, therefore, would not per mit Mr. Wright to use this table, and he dare not refute it- So he adopts the shining, uncertain and unknown standard of retail prices.- .Wholesale prices are fixed and stable, the same in every community,! with cost of freight added. There is neither sta bility nor uniformity in retail prices. Coffee sells in the same city for from 10 to 40 cents, tea from 20 cents to $1.50, and best creamery butter for from 18 to 30 cents per pound. -"A bright field agent selecting his store and localities could find evidence in retail prices to support any theory. This was the way in which the cost of living was reduced. The methods em ployed to raise wages were equally as questionable. Everyone knows that the greatest increase in wages is to oe found in those industries where union labor is strongest, and where the strength of the union had been develop ed during the period under investiga tion. The conditions are peculiarly ap plicable to the building trades. Out of the 3,429 establishments selected by Mr. Wright for comparison, 1,199, or more than one-third, are in building trades. Of the remainder, 1,185 are likewise in the unprotected industries. The great est employers of labor in the country are the railroads, and no other industry is a better barometer of the average wage. The railroads employ all kinds of labor, skilled and unskilled, union and non-union. In no other industry are as complete and accurate statistics available. Each railroad reports to the interstate commerce commission the total wages during each year and the total number of workmen, on June 30, of that year. The average wage is, therefore, easily obtainable. Why were no railroad wages included in Mr. Wright's report. The answer is appar ent. The last report of the interstate commerce commission shows an in crease of railroad wages of only 3 per cent. The railroads employ more than 1.300.000 men. Mr. Wright's figures cover 176,827. Miners, one of the next largest bodies of laborers, also are omitted. Mr. Wright's table does not show that any one of these 176,827 men reecived more wages in 1903 than in 1902 or any other year, it only claims to snow the hourly wage for these particular men has increased. 'In other wages, had a mill raised the wages of its employers 10 per cent and teen shut down one-half the time this would have figured In Mr. Wright's table as an increase in wages. It would have been just as easy to have selected an equal number of establishments whose output, quality of work and number of employes was decreasin and shown a reduction instead of an increase in wages. 'Then, too, by taking hourly wages. Mr. Wright would not have to consider the 600,000 men now out of employment. By carefully selecting his establish ments, he did not have to consider the 1,000,000 men whose wages, the trades journals tell us, were reduced in 1903 and 1904 from 10 to 30 per cent. We shall appeal from Colonel Wright and his expert statisticians to one who fig ures more skilfully and carefully than he the housewife with the market bas ket, who must make her husband's scanty wages cover the constantly in creasing cost of the family's daily need."

New York, Aug. 8. Bishop Henry C. Potter, who a few days ago spoke at the opening of the new subway tavern at Bleecher and Mulberry streets, is not at all disconcerted because of the adverse criticisms of his action. In re ply to a request for a statement from him in answer to his critics, the bishop authorized the following publication: T have publicly said that I never dreamed of regarding the present sa loon as either a blessing or a necessity, and no word of mine, whether uttered recently or at any other time, warrants any such inference. "I have simply regarded it as inevi table and necessary evil, until it is dis placed by something better. To close it, whether Sundays or any other particular days, is npt to displace it by something worthy of public re spect and legal protection, and my con troversy Is simply with those who have no other aim in dealing with a mis- hievous institution than to suppress it. whereas the only hope of reform here is in displacement by substitution. And it is no exaggeration to say that nothing which has occurred during this century has done more to restore the Church of England and the sympathy of the common people and the friend ship and respect of the multitudes who are not of her fold than the organiza tion and work of the Church of Eng land Temperance society. "Founded in no narrow spirit of in tolerant proscription, it has welcomed man to its fellowship, whether they were total abstainers of nonabstainers. It has been content to point men to the admitted evils of natural intemperance and then to associate them in practical measures for their diminution. Tt has not assumed to say that those measures could only be of one kind, nor that intemperance could be dealt with n only one way. It has seen that re form is a principle wnich may have many illustrations and may employ many dissimilar agencies. And, today, the future of England and of Ehelish homes is just so much brightert because wise and large-hearted men have joined togetner m oenair of the work of tem perance reform." i St. Louis and Return $7.60 via the Santa Fe. Tickets on sale Tuesdays and Thurs days in August. Final limit seven days. T. L. KING, C. P. T. A. Where they play Tuesday: Iola at Topeka. Springfield at Fort Scott. Joplin at Sedalia. Pittsburg at Leavenworth. It is almost an assured fact that Iola wiil not be In the Missouri Val'ey league next year. Manager Fred White, now in the city with the Gaslighter3, was asked in regard to the matter, and he said: "I cannot say just now what will be done,, but I feel confident that the only way in which a team will be retained in our city next year is to form a stock company. But to come right down to the matter in black and white I am really unable to forecast anything for 1905." The same question was put to "Dud" Kisley, captain of the Iola team. His answer was char acteristic, short and snaiy. "No," he said, "there won't be any team down there next year." The existence of the team is now a personal luxury or pres ident Tholen, who is wealthy, and will ing to spend his money to keep the or ganization at Iola through the year. Just recently he gave out a statement that he would finish the season even though it cost him $3,000, which indi cates that "it is all going out, and noth ing coming in." But then Pittsburg and Fort Scott are in the same boat with Iola. The situation is simply this: Topeka, Springfield, Joplin, Sedalia and Leavenworth are too large towns to be In the same league with Iola, Fort Scott and Pittsburg, or in reality that phrase should just be turned around, and it should be said that the latter are too small for the former. The big ger towns can spend more money and are doing so. They can by virtue of the fact that they make more have biggor crowds to draw from. Right there is where the smaller towns get it in the neck. They cannot keep up with the Drocession. and consequently must eith er give up their teams or maintain them bv charity. The relative populations 01 the Valley League towns are as follows and will serve as food for thought in retard to the matter: Topeka 40,000 Joplin 26.0?,3 Kprmgneia Leavenworth 20,735 Sedalia 15,231 Fort Scott Pittsburer 10,112 Iola 5,791 The Sedalia Sentinel thinks it scents something: "Pittsburg and Joplin s relations look rather suspicious. It will he -remembered a few days ago that Joplin made 14 errors in a game with the young pirates, ana ine laiier uuum them nearlv 2 to 1. Yet Joplin won. Now Pittsburg has loaned the Miners their best pitcher, Torrence." Sedalia seems to be up to its old trick of trying to finish the season in a blaze of glory. Jake Bauers. of Sedalia, is now the premier batsman of the league as the hittiner averages for July show. Nlckell, of Leavenworth, Is second and big John Schrant. of Topeka, is third. It ap pears that the latter will still be a con tender for the first honors. In general the averages have fallen down woeful ly, with exception of the Fort Scott team, yet witn tne mams any cnange would have had to be an improvement, for they could not have been worse.

After an investigation he mada this statement: "The fault has not been with the umpires but with your team, which Is playing poor baseball and trying to get away without sus picion. Some of your players are shoul dering off their poor work onto the um pire, by trying to make the crowd be lieve that that official is responsible for the games which are being lost. Ab bott is one of the men I place in that category. I am going to give that fel low a talking to. There he goes up and strikes out several times or hits a meas ly little grounder, and then he abuses) the umpire so as to make solid with the crowd. Then take what Hurlburt did last Saturday. For the manner In which he went after Collins he should have been fined and benched for prac tically the rest of the season, and I want it made public," continued Shive ley, "that if anyone ever acts in that way again he will be punished for It. We must have clean baseball and I shall see that we have it." Shiveley was right when he accused a portion of the Topeka team of "fourflushing." Ha was right when he said that the abuse which they give the umpire is simply a blanket to excuse their poor playing, and they do it to make good with the crowd. Say whatever you want to, you cannot make a fair minded man be lieve that all the umpires which have come to Topeka were wilfully rotten. Not a single indicator man wants to come here. Topeka practically drove Franklin out of business. Owens, al most par excellence, quit the field be cause of the "roasting." Lowery was initiated at Topeka and only stayed in the business three days. Shanks was almost mobbed in this city and Shiveley removed him. Began didn't like Topeka worth a cent and gave this town as one of the reasons for getting out of the business. Cuzack, about as good as Owens, should have come here for the Iola series. Upon receiving Shiveley's orders to appear here, he wired back: "Any place else but Topeka," Shiveley let htm go to Sedalia and sent Collins to Topeka. And everybody knows what "Strew-Ike" got in his. With all these facts to judge from one might Just as well agree with President Shiveley that there is something rotten In Denmark, and that Topeka fandom is being duped. From the Fort Scott Republican: "The Fort Scott team played an exhi bition game at Weir City on Wednes day and was victorious to the tune of 7 to 4. During the game Jones mada a triple play unassisted and won the) plaudits of the crowd. Last year Pen nington, the Fort Scott short stop made a triple play unassisted and after hav ing had his picture in all the sporting pages of a number of metropolitan pa pers he went to pieces and was not worth a continental the remainder of the season. It is to be hoped that Jones will continue to perform the good work at short he has been dishing up the last few weeks and that be will not go to pieces as Pennington did."

The last edition of the State Journal reaches St. Louis the following morning. The paper can be sent care of the Kansas building, if desired. The modern saloon is said to have come into existence along with tem perance agitation. Bishop Potter and his followers appear to think that they can drive it out by returning to original plan for providing for the thirsty. If the anti-imperialists, as they call themselves, under the leadership of Judge Parker, should carry the country, what will they do with the victory? Does anybody believe that possession of the Philippines will be relinquished or that a territorial government will be established? The 60.000 idle packing house work men and the 30,000 cotton mill employes out of a job have been joined by 40.000 locked out mechanics in New York dur ing the past week. The business of the country appears to be moving on about the same as usual. We never know what we can stand as a nation until put to the test. As usual, the campaign is causing a revival of the discussion regarding what beat Blaine in 1884. Among the causes assigned are Burchard's speech St. John's invasion of New York and the Delmonico dinner. The fact re mains, however, that the people gen erally believe that he was counted out In New York City. In Nebraska the Democrats and Pop ulists will fuse on the state ticket and vote for separate electoral tickets. The New York Globe says this will insure the state for Roosevelt and declares that Col. Bryan is responsible for the arrangement, being actuated by a desire to beat Parker. The same sort of a deal exists in Kansas. Is Bryan to be held accountable for that, too? The American war ships In the Medi terranean have been ordered to Turk ish waters as a hint to the sultan that it might be better for him to give greater heed to the demands which our minister to Constantinople has made n his government. Why this is done at this particular time is not explained. The same reasons for such action have existed for years. The national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held in Boston this month, and it promises to be one of the most suc cessful encampments of recent years both in point of interest and attend ance. According to the official reports of a year ago. Massachusetts is one of five states which have 119,547 of the urvivlng 256.510 members of the order. Hew York has the largest department, 29.98S members. Pennsylvania comes second with 6,426. Ohio third with 26. 629. Illinois fourth with 20.800. and Mas sachusetts fifth with 16.S04. Kvangelist Charles H. Yatman is giv ing a series of popular talks at Ocean Orove, and has been taking the girls especially into his confidence, with ad vice on a subject of general interest. In discussing the ice cream habit he said: "Don't imagine that you owe it to the young men who buy ice cream for you to promise to become their wives. You girls are really the givers of gifts to us men, because your con descension in sitting with a young man in an Ice cream parlor more than re pays him for the money he has spent for the ice cream you eat. The girls I see before me are worth more than the ice cream output of American for an entire year." So, Gen. Funston's appointment to command of the department of the At lantic has been revoked because he is not considered the social equal of his brother offlceis In the east. It may be difficult for people who pay the taxes for the support of West Point and the army to understand what con nection there Is between society and the ability to direct the affairs of a military department, but of course that Is regarded as none of their business. It seems that a man may fight his way to a promotion, but cannot enter upon the full enjoyment of all to which such advancement entitles him, unless he b a Beau BrummeL He may swim a river In the face of an enemy's fire, but un less he Is also a good waltzer the east has no use for htm. Manufacturing defaults for July are about the same in number as the cor responding month last year, says R. G. Dun Co., but there was a decrease of about 40 per cent in liabilities. This improvement was well distributed throughout the list, only four of the fourteen classes reporting larger losses this year, and in no case was this ad verse balance a heavy one, whereas in many of the other ten classes the de faulted liabilities shrank materially Results were particularly satisfactory in manufacturing lines of leather, liquors, machinery, lumber, milling, glass and earthenware, while there was only one suspension in cotton spinning, despite the unnatural condition of that industry. The only notable increase In number ,f manufacturing failures oc curred in the clothing division, and the average loss per failure was only about $10,000. It is hardly a hopeful sign of the times, this very noticeable tendency on the part of striking union workmen to appeal to Washington for aid in set tling their troubles with their em ployes. Time was, we think, when in terference on the part of the federal executive in matters purely local, and entirely outside of his ordinary duties, would be resented as foreign to the spirit, at least, if not the letter, of our system of government. It would seem recreant to the idea of American citi zenship in the various states for work ingmen. citizens of this or that state, to overlook their state executive and in voke the good offices or the power of the president of the United States or indeed, to appeal to any executive, state or national. Boston Transcript. Perhaps the strikers feel that the president himself invited such action on their part by the precedent he es taousnea in connection with the an thracite strike. It will be remembered also that Mr. Cleveland interfered in the Chicago railroad strike some years ago without solicitation from the strlk era. JAYlL4.WK.Ett JOTS.

No one takes a man's cussing very seri ously; then why take so seriously a wo man's weeping? No woman with an income of less than $500 a month should be permitted to wear a dress with a train.

The former Is the plan if you wish to remain young. When a young man calls on a girl and stays late, that noise overhead Is not thunder; it is the old man grumbling. Old people sometimes complain because they are left alone so much, but the truth is that they would be bored to death if the young people tried to entertain them. It should be a compensating thought to a man who dies and leaves insurance money, that he is benefiting his own sex, for some other man will come along and get it.

Many a man on the verge of starvation has committed either suicide or matri mony. If a. man is deaf and dumb he escapes the long-distance bore who makes his calls by telephone. What the average man doesn't know is that he doesn't know half as much as he thinks he knows. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. An uppercut Having tho hair trimmed.

James Miller, a negro jointist, was shot five times last night by George Hicks, another negro. The row which resulted In the shooting occur red in the vicinity of the Rock Island Y." Two of the bullets lodged i-i Miller's hip. and three more in his leg. The bullets were extracted by Dr. H. H. Keith at his hospital this morning. Miller has been arrested recently by the police on the charge of run ning a joint in "Mudtown,," the negro district south of Tenth avenue an east of the Shunganunga creek.

Dale Straus Attacked Sunday Sylvan Kline. by Sylvan Klein knocked down and se verely injured Dale Straus, a young man employed by the Chicago Lumber company, in a fight near the transfer station Sunday afternoon. Klein also struck a young man named Devlin blacking both his eyes. Chas. Smith negro policeman, walked away with Klein, but did not arrested him. Klein reported to the police station and gave his version of the fight, and was not booked. Straus Jaw bone was broken by Kleins terrific blow and Dr. Stewart who attended the injured man. had to wire the bone in place. The spectators are divided in their opinions of the fight, a number stating that the assault was unwarranted and vicious, and oth ers declaring that the two men had 'badgered and abused Klein on the street car coming in from the ball game, until the limit of human endur ance was reached. They had been wrangling about the game and the abil ity of the players ever since the car left the park, and the assault occurred as soon as the wranglers had left the car. Relatives of young Straus say they will prosecute Klein for the assault. A $11,300 SWALLOW. E. Barnes Wants Insurance on Ac count of Peculiar Accident.

Frank Swartz. a young man room ing at 514 East Fourth street, was probably fatally shot Sunday by the accidental discharge of a revolver in the hands of Ed Shoaf, his room mate. The shot passed through his left lung, close to the heart. He was taken to Dr. Keith's hospital, where it was necessary to remove a crushed rib. The story told by the boys -is that swartz Dorrowed the revolver from Shoaf on the Fourth of July, and that he hac. taken it to a gun store to be repaired, only recently getting it back. 'It was in the dresser drawer in a holster, and Swartz took it out and handed it to Shoaf. The latter drew it out of the holster to examine the repair which had been made, and the discharge followed. He does not know whether the gun was cocked or whether the hammer caught in the holster. Young Shoaf is a nephew of E. E. Shoaf, proprietor of the Holliday house. The injured boy has exoner ated him of firing the shot intention ally. FOUND A BODY. Remains ot I'nknown Man From Kansas Kiver. Taken The badly decomposed body of an unknown white man, about 80 years of age. was found near Kuehne's pickle factory in the Kaw river this afternoon at 2 o'clock by workmen on the Rock Island bridge. Coroner Hogeboom was called and is conduct ing an inquest at Shellabarger's un dertaking establishment this after noon. The body has been in the water for a long time, as is shown by the fact that the fingers are off both hands and the face is badly scarred and dis figured. While the clothes which the man wore appear to have been fairly good, they are of the "tramp-;, order. It is probable that he was drowned at some point up tho river. A School for Housewives. To fit girls of his parish for the assumption of the practical duties of a home. Rev. Thomas J. Gillen, the rec tor of St. Mary's church, in Paw tucket, R. I., has established a school of domestic arts, which has proven one of the most unique and successful ventures ever inaugurated by a parish, and at the same time has attained most practical results. Father Gillen's idea of the enter prise, which has become one of unique endeavor, is a thoroughly practical one. He argues that home life might be greatly improved by making the home as inviting as possible. To ac complish this, the housewife should understand the arts of sewing, fancy work, and, especially, cooking. The problem of today is to preserve a home atmosphere. If this can be done, the evils of club life, or bad companionship with its inevitable re sults, will be materially lessened. Upon the home, society rests. Anything which improves the home improves society and the individuals who com pose it. The benefit to religion is equally patent. The value of such a school is in estimable and patent at once to every observer. The question of lukewarm faith in the younger generation, the general and deplorable mixed mar riages, and the general lack of inter est young people show, in parish work may find we do not say, a solution, but a big assistance to a solution in a school of the kind in question. Its social features, in connection with its practical attainments, will serve to strengthen the bonds of friendship which should closely knit the mem bers of each narish, for the child of today is the man or woman of to morrow.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1904. 5 OSAGEJOSSISM. J. H. SUriej Defeated for Ke Domination a Kepreientattre. Rorusod to Slake Promises to liaT Militant. A FIGHT 3IADE ON HIM. No Opposition If H Had Acceded to Demands. Was One of the Strongest Men in Legislature. The report comes from Osage county that J. H. Staveley was defeated for renomination for the legislature in the south district of Osage county in the primaries Saturday. The convention Rill be held tomorrow. L. T. Hussey of Lyndon was Mr. Staveley's opponent for the nomination. If the reports which come from Osage county are true, this is one of the most pronounced instances of bossism which baa occurred in Kansas for a long time. Staveley could have had a renomina tion without a fight if he had been will ing to make certain promises to the boss buster bosses, but he refused to make them. Jt is alleged that Staveley was offer ed the place by D. W. Mulvane. provid ed he would vote as he is told on im lortant questions which may come up next winter. This he refused to do. Again he was offered the place if he would vote as Senator .Miller does, oui this also Mr. Staveley refused to do. In fact, he refused to make promises of any kind to anyone, and therefore the cins were set ud to defeat him. Staveley is not a politician, but he was recognized as one of the biggest men in the last legislature, notwitn standing the fact that he went in with the minority. -He was a Curtis man and stood by Curtis through the leg islatlve fight. Then he got down to legislation. One of his fellow mem bers recently remarked that he was one of the live strongest members of the bouse and he would be one of the five strongest of any 125 men who could be elected to a house of repre sentatives in Kansas. He refused to play politics, but was a statesman rath er than a politician. This Is why he was defeated for re nomination. He is the sort of man who would not do a thing that was not perfectly open and above-board, nor would he make a promise which might hamper him in" doing what he thought was right. That he was exceedingly useful is shown by the fact that he saved Sena tor Miller's town, Osage City, from having 20 per cent of its school reve nues cut off. A bill was before the legislature which limited cities of the second class to a levy of 15 mills for school purposes and repealing a spe cial act by which Osage City could levy 20 mills. Osage City is one of the smallest cities of the second class and in order to raise sufficient money for school purposes it is necessary that it be allowed to make a high school levy. Senator Miller voted for the bill. which would have reduced the school revenue of Osage City 20 per cent, but Staveley noticed it when the bill got into the house, and he had it amended to except Osage City s special law. pends. If Mr. Finch means that Judge Dale is handsome he has evidently got a wrong impression from those pictures. Judge Dale is far from handsome Just about as far as Mr. lioeh. By the way, there has been consider able comment during the past two years about the success of re-headed man In politics, it started wnen vie tor Murdock was first nominated for congress, and it was emphasised when W. K. Stubbs came to the front. Now there is Judge Dale. He isn't as red headed as Congressman Murdock. but he is entitled to trot in the red-headed class. Will the success of Murdock and Stubbs be his? J. L. Brady, candidate for the legis Iature in Lawrence and editor of the Lawrence World, la responsible for this: "1 have been one of the most rabid boas busters this state ever saw," said Dod Lummax. "I have fairly frothed at the mouth everv time the name of Albaugh was mentioned and at the mere thought of Cy Leland I have thrown fits like the very deuce.' But am beginning to think that Albaugh, in particular, is not such a bad tellow. He has his good points. What has made me change my mind? Have heard from Albaugh? Nothing of the sort. I have just read where old Bill White says he has offered his orato'.i cal services to the state chairman, but has not been called upon to make good. Ever hear Bill speak? Then you know- why I begin to like Albaugh? When T. M. Dolan, the fusion candi date for state treasurer, reached his home at Clifton the other day after his nomination, a big crowd of Clifton people, made up of members of all parties, took the Clifton band and marched to Mr. Dolan's house. A number of speeches were made con gratulating Mr. Dolan on his nomina tion, to which he responded briefly saying that he was as proud of the way in which his friends at home ral lied around him as he was of the honor given him by the Democratic convention. It is said that John T. White will be the Republican nominee for the legislature in Ottawa county. Mr. White was one of the candidates for railroad commissioner who had the endorsement of the Federation of Commercial interests, but who was run over by the railroad interests in the Wichita convention. The Democratic congressional con vention in the Seventh district will he beld at Great Bend Wednesday. W. B. Washington of Leoti is the most active candidate for the place, al though M. F. Belisle of Lamed, Frank Field of Reno and two or three others are mentioned in connection with the nomination. The Democrats of the senatorial dis trict composed of Rice, Barton and Stafford counties are holding their convention today. It is probable that George B. Ross of Rice county will be nominated by acclamation. The Douglas county Democrats have instructed for C. F. Hutchings of Kan sas City for congressman in the Second district. i ne Democrats or Atchison are talking of running ex-Governor Glick for the legislature in the city district against C. H. Young, who has recently been nominated by the Republicans. This is the district in which Balie Waggener beat John Seaton two years ago. Troy Chief: E. W. Hoch has had his name taken from the list of the executive committee published in the Kansas Issue, the official organ of the State Temperance union. Why is this thus? What is the cause of this thus- ness? Congressman Reeder has recently put up a fine new building for his eanic at Logan. It cost about 18,000 The other day he went before the county commissioners of Phillips county ana askea that the assessed valuation of the building be reduced from $2,500 to 32,000. He exDlained that other bank buildings of like value in tnat part of the state were assessed at z,000, and that would be about in proportion to other property. After considerable time had been taken up arguing the matter and he had the commissioners persuaded to make the change, they turned to the records in order to get everything right, and it was discovered that the building had oeen assessea at only (1,000. The laugh was on the Sixth district states man. W. R. Stubbs left Saturday night for Washington. Just why is not known. Pome of the politicians are guessing xnai ne nas gone to see wnat the pros pect is lor getting some campaign iunas irora tne national committee. C. S.

Green or Black Chairman W. R. Stubbs got put off a jkock island train about three miles west of Lawrence the other day and had to walk back. He had intended to come up on the Union Pacific and had purchased a ticket with that intent. The Rock Island uses the Union Pacific tracks from Kansas City to Topeka but is not allowed to do any business be tween those points. A Rock Island train came in about the time the Union Pacific was due, and Stubbs got on board, not noticing the difference. When the conductor came along Stubbs offer ed his ticket. "This is a Union Pacific ticket," said he. "Isn't this the U. P. train?" asked Stubbs. "No," replied the conductor. "It is the Rock Island. Stubbs dug down In his pocket and handed the conductor a dollar for fare. "I can't take it. and you can't ride, said the conductor, pulling the bell cord to Btop the train. "But I must get to Topeka, and you should overlook my mistake," said Stubbs. "I can't let you ride," said the con ductor. "It is against the rules." The train was coming to a stop. Pleading did no good, and, Stubbs tried anotner tack. "You don't know who I am!" said he. in a stern voice. "No, and I don't care," replied the conductor. "I am W. R. Stubbs, the railroad con tractor, and chairman of the Republi can state committee," said Stubbs. "Can't help it if you are the president of the Rock Island system," ejaculated the conductor. "You will have to get orr. The train had come td a stop and the conductor pointed to the door. Stubbs walked to the platform and alighted. ine train pulled out. It was an ex tremeiy not day ana Lawrence was three miles away. "Thunderation!" said Stubbs, as he began to count the ties back to the depot. A few minutes later the Union Pacific train came dashing along. Stubbs tried to stop it. but it didn't stop. After It had whizzzed by Stubbs again headed east on the main track. Senator Long will make one of the principal speeches at the opening of the rcepuDiican campaign at Marion on Sep tember l. The report comes from Med icine Lodge that Senator Long spends part of his time following a plow around a field building up some surplus health in addition to what he has al ready gained. He expects to go into the campaign about the first of September and will be busy making speeches from that time until November. A Japanese Bridge, Crossing Hirer on Fengwang?

"The recogni tion in principle, of the treatment of coal and other fuel and raw cotton as absolutely contraband of war might ultimately lead to a total Inhibition of the sale by neutrals to the people of belligerent states of all articles which, could be finally converted to military uses. Such an extension of the prin ciple by treating coal and other fuel and raw cotton as absolutely contra band of war, simply because they are shipped by a neutral to a non-blockaded port of a belligerent, would not ap pear to be In accord with the reasona ble and lawful rights of a neutral commerce." This is a summary of a declaration bv Secretary Hay on the right of neutral nations during war. It was embodied in a circular to American ambassadors in Europe which was issued from the state department June 10 hist, but for some reason was withheld from the public, although certain shippers wno inquired at the department after their right were supplied with copies. The circular is based on a declaraion by the Russian government that coal, naphtha, alcohol and other fuel have been de clared contraband. Monett, Mo., Aug. 8.

He -was told that for a year or more the town of North Topeka has endured the same street car service (or lack of it) that it is now enduring. What a long suffering people they are. And what a fine advertisement for the city of Topeka it must be for strangers, prospective residents, etc., to know that for more than a year the citizens must walk a part of the distance that they pay the car company for hauling them. And no sign of the end being yet In sight. To be sure, some days three or four men were seen doing time on the old wreck of a street car bridge, but generally a man and a boy were an that were at work on it Your correspondent was told that thousands have been spent on a park called Vinewood, while the people along what has always been the best paying line of street car road walk winter and summer across that long bridge only to find that as they near the other side the car hurries away from them. At best that street car bridge is a menace to the passengers and a disgrace to the owners. No wonder there are empty houses in North Topeka with such car service The writer ventures to say that three- fourths of the people of the city of Topeka will agree with him in the statement, that the present street car company is doing more harm to North Topeka by its"; Inefficient service than was done by the great flood of 1903.. The said car company -seems to enjoy, the prolonging of this suffer ing to the north aiders. The city fathers don't seem to be at all exer cised about it. F. H. TIDRICK. TO EXTERMINATE MOLES. Prof. I.antz Issues a Bulletin Telling How to Kill Them. BUNCH TOGETHER Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally Attacking Some Organ, Ails that come from coffee are cum ulative, that is, unless the coffee is taken away new troubles are continu ally appearing and the old ones get worse. "To begin with," says A Kansan, "I was a slave to coffee just as thousands of others today: thought I could not live without drinking strong coffee every morning for breakfast and I had sick headaches that kept me in bed several days every month. Could hardly keep my food on my stomach but would vomit as long as I could throw anything up and when I could get hot coffee to stay on my stomach thought l was Detter. "Well, two years ago this Spring, was that sick with rheumatism I could not use my right arm to do anything, had heart trouble, was ner vous. My nerves were all unstrung and my finger nails and tips were blue as if I had a chill all the time and my face and hands yellow as a pumpkin. Mv doctor said it was heart disease and rheumatism and my neighbors said I had Bright's Disease and was going to die. "Well. I did not know what on earth was the matter and every morn- Insr would drag myself out of bed and go to breakfast, not to eat anything but to force aown some more cortee. Then in a little while I would be so nervous, my heart would beat like ev erything. Finally one morning l toia my nus- band I believed coffee was the cause of this trouble and that I thought I would try Postum which I had seen advertised. He said 'All right' so we qrot Postum and although I did not like it at all at first I got right down busness and made it according to directions, then it was fine and the. whole family got to using it and I tell vou it has worked wonders for me. Thanks to Postum in the place of poi son, coffee, I now enjoy good health. have not been in bed with sick head ache for two years although I had it for SO years before I began Postum and my nerves are now strong and I have no trouDie from my heart or from the rheumatism. 'I consider Postum a necessary ar ticle of food on my table. My friends who come here and taste my Postum say it is delicious." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich. Get the book.

People who are bothered with moles the kind that dig in the ground and not the kind that grow on your face and elsewhere will be interested in a bulletin just issued by the experiment station at the State Agricultural col lege, i It relates to the extermination of moles and was prepared by Prof. D. E Lantz. who prepared the poison for prairie dogs. Prof. Lantz has been ex perimenting in feeding the moles poison also, and in his bulletin he says: The poisoning experiments were made with much doubt as to the char acter of the results that would be at tained, owing to the great difficulty in finding suitable baits. Strychnine, the poison which proved most successful in destroying rodents, was assumed as the beat adapted to te work. "With shelled corn soaked in a solu tion of strychnine and syrup, some of the moles were killed, but no data as to the relative number could be obtain ed. "With Bweet corn in the milk or roast ing ear stage,, cut from the cob and similarly treated, a large measure of success was attained, and nearly all the moles destroyed. "The kernels of Unroasted peanuts. in which strychnine crystals were placed, were found to be reasonably successful bait, and are recommended when green corn is not available. "Bits of meat or dead insects proper ly poisoned will prove successful, but with the meat there is greater danger of poisoning dogs, since the mole bur rows lie close to the surface of the ground. The sense of smell seems to be strongly developed in moles. My exper iments have verified the statement that if ordinary moth-balls are dropped in to their runway, and these covered, the moles will not again use them until the moth-balls have entirely disappeared. This does not, however, prevent their working in nearby places. "Traps for catching moles are sold In most of the hardware stores. Nearly all of them work by the use of a spring coil which, when released, drives a number of sharp tines in the ground and through the mole. Some experience in setting these traps will lead to the best results: but trapping is a much slower process than poisoning. "Moles are usually actively at work in the early morning or late in the af ternoon. At times there is also a short period of activity about noon. It is not difficult to kill them with a pitch fork when they are working, the ani mals being located by observing the movement of the ground above them. "If water is allowed to run into the burrow and fill it. the animal when present can be forced to come to the surface to avoid drowning, and may be easily killed. The writer at one time killed a female and six young at one such operation. "The best remedy for the damage done to lawns and grass plots by. moles is prompt rolling with a heavy roller. By continued repetition of this the moles will be driven away." G. A. R. Encampment Boston.

Two pretty good sized colored boys ripped a couple of boards off the cen- ter field fence at tne new Dan park on Sunday, so as to see the game. Not single effort was made to arrest either one although their operations were in full view of the crowd. There were a number of the old guard among the Populists irr convention here last week. One of them was so tickled at having been able to beat his way up to Topeka and incidentally an opulent railroad company, that he told every one he knew how he did it. A number of Washburn college stud ents have returned disheartened from a campaign of view-selling through Wy oming and the west. All, however, are not running against the same streak of luck.

Chicago 1 TO AID POOR BOSTON. A Kansas Man Called on to Deliver Bean Eaters From Sew Pest. Boston and vicinity is Just now in the throes of a life and death struggle wita one of the greatest pests that ever visited the country viz. tne gypsy mom. Not long ago great swarms of these creatures appeared, and at night the trees and other objects in the vicinity of the ciotr-to liirhtu were literallv covered with them. At present millions of the larvae are at worK rapioiy consuming me vege tation, especially the leaves of the shade trees. Many trees have been stripped bare, while others have the appearance of having been riddled by a hail storm. Thousands of, the trees have been fur nished with some kind of band about the trunk to keep the pests off, but with lit tle effect. The government has sent Charles I Marlott, formerly of Manhattan, Kan., now in charge of the field work in ento mology, to investigate the situation and see what can be done for relief from these hungry creatures. Mr. Marlott lias de cided the only way to deal with them is to introduce a destructive parasite, ims will be undertaken. This moth is said to have been brought over here a dozen years ago by a Har vard university entomologist who was ex perimenting with them and whose sudden death resulted in their being turned loose on the community. The presence of these destructive pests recalls the Biblical account Of the plagues of Ancient Egypt. Contest of Shriners. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 8. This being Kansas City Shriners' day, there was a large attendance of the members of the mystic snrine irom mat city, in cluding 2 50 members of Ararat tem ple.

The new Globe office, now nearing completion, will be as complete as any newspaper office in the country. It is the first modern building ever erected in Atchison for exclusive newspaper use. The present Globe building has never been used for anything else, and was built for a newspaper office but waa never mod ern. The new building will have tile floor in the lobby, oak finish, steel ceilings, fire proof vaults, hot water heat, grates, etc. All the principal em ployes will have private offices, and the equipment throughout will b. modern in every way. The building is three stories high, 45xf2, on a cor ner, with light on four sides. Under the sidewalks will be paper and coal cellars. This County Farm Paid. Atchison, Aug. 8. The sixty acres of wheat at the new county farm ave raged 134 bushels to the acre. The quality was good, and the greater part of the grain sold for 82 cents. The crop amounted to 800 bushels, and netted a profit, over and above all ex penses, of $300. In addition, 600 bushels of oats were harvested off 35 acres. This will be fed. The county has twenty acres in corn, seven acres in cane, and two acres in potatoes, and all these promise fine yields. Wheat and oats suffered from the excessive rainfall. This year's results indicate that the new farm, skillfully and eco nomically managed, ought to be a source of profit to the county, and help support the poor who will make their home there.

G THE TOPEKA STATE' JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, .'AUGUST 8, 1904. JULY OIL RUN. Over 16,413 Barrels Daily Turned In to the Standard. Independence, Kas., Augr. 8. The total runs of Kansas and Indian, ter ritory oil In July surpass any other month in the history of the business. aracunting to 508.896.22 barrels. daily average. Including Sundays, of 1 (.413.1 barrels. In June the runs were 355,739.55 barrels. This repre sents an Increase of 131,156.67 barrels ever June. The average daily runs have Jumped from 11, 857.98 in June to 16,413.1 barrels in July, an in crease of 4,555.12 barrels. The larg est runs in any previous month were reduced in May when they amounted to 383.514.66 barrels. The increase in July was due to the free operation of new Held lines. The Increase was largely from the Wayside district, Chautauqua county ana Bar tiesville and Osage. By the middle of this month the CofTeyville line will be completed. Work is being pushed as raplaly as possible on the Tulsa and Red Fox line and the Chelsea branch. While wells in the oil fields are falling off, it is expected that there will be a steady increase in the month ly runs. ATE FRIED M (XX KEYS. Account of Short Rations. Told by Corporal Leonard of Topeka. Corporal M. G. Leonard, formerly of Topeka and now with the Fourteenth cavalry band at Camp Overton, Min danao, Philippine Islands, writing un der date of May 17, says: Topeka was my home up to 1901, when I went into the Fourteenth cav alry. It Is my belief that few people in God's country, truly see this country as It is. If I am not mistaken in my belief, then I would like to have some who are ever saying "Be good to your little brown brothers." come over here. I wish some of these people could be turned loose among a few of the "Moros." I feel pretty sure of them being quiet in the future. Our present camp is upon the north ern coast of Mindanao and named af ter Captain Overton, who was killed here by our "Little Brown Brothers." The only boundary I can give this place is as follows: On the north by the Sulu sea, on the south by cholera, east, dyentery and the west by locomotor ataxia. At least, if you ask any of the boys from Kansas you will find this their idea. There have been several fights around and near this camp, since I arrived here last October. We have lost sev eral men at Jolo and near here. G troop of the Fourteenth cavalry Just came in today from a march lasting some weeks. They had three monkeys for five days' rations, and suffered many hardships. Now I think monkeys are not a very tempting morsel, but the boys said they were fine. I wonder how some of these brown brother mem bers would enjoy this for a change. General Wood is indeed a soldier and Is liked by every man in his command, and he has taken the part of the men in such a way, as to have done more for the men than any other officer in command in these parts. If about a dozen of our little brown brothers could be put in a hall, well say even as big as Hamilton hall, I can safely say no American could live in the same room over one hour at the most. They chew beetl nut about like Missouri cattle chew hay, when they land in Kansas. If there are any Topeka boys who feel the roving fever in their body Just let them try six months in the Moro land and I know Topeka will look sweet even in their dreams. I am pretty sure I will be ready to live and die there when I get back in Kansas, and I think the rest of the boys have a plenty of this. It is a very hard place on horses here. I have seen as many as 40 head taken out and shot in one day on account of glanders. AURORA'S NO. 5. I IX til Well Brought In on Their Prop erty a Hummer. Chanute, Kas.. Aug. 8. The trans Keosho field continues to be the scene of the greatest activity in oil devel opment. The latest sensation is the Aurora's No. 6 on the Rensing lease, the southwest quarter of 29-27-19. The well responded to the explosion of for- ty quarts of nitro-glycerin by throw ing a solid column of oil 150 feet Into the air. straight from the Iron lips of the bore. The company was unpre pared for a strike of such extent and the well overflowed the field about it with its output. Sixty feet of pay sand were drilled in. There is a slight pressure of gas, enough to make the well flow natur ally at present, although it is not thought that the gas will maintain sufficient pressure to lift such a col umn of oil for more tnan a few days. From noon until six o'clock in the evening the well disgorged 100 bar rels of oil. This is at the rate of 400 barrels in the twenty-four hours that onstltute an oil well's working day. The members of the company are flighly elated. Manager Connelley says: "It is decidedly the best well In that section of the field." The oil is of a light body and of very high grade. The well was drilled to the lower sand which produces a better grade of oil and in greater quantity than the upper sand. STANDARD'S LAST MOVE. Oil Company Takes Force at Xeodesha to Independence. Independence, Kas., Aug. 8. The Standard Oil Co. has moved its office ef fects from Neodesha and has taken pos session of its handsome new offices on the first and second floors of the Carl Leon annex. This is the most modern and up-to-date office building in Inde pendence. Only the third floor will be used by the hotel. The Standard has rented for a term of ten years the six westward rooms on the ground floor, consisting of seventeen rooms, making a total of 23 rooms. The Standard's entire Neodesha force will be located in these new quarters, except the producing depart ment under O. A. Evans and his as sistants; Foreman J. B. Hilford. of District No. 1 and his assistant; Mike Daugherty. superintendent of tank building, and his stenographer, who remain at Neodesha.

PORTE IS PERTURBED. Movement of the American Fleet Like ly to Prove Effective. Constantinople, Aug. 8. The an nouncement of the dispatch of the American European squadron to Smvrna has perturbed the porte and will doubtless hasten the solution of the questions at issue between the United States and Turkey in a manner satisfactory to the former. The porte promised American Minister Leisch- man that a reply ravoraoie xo me American demand for the same fav ored treatment In the matter of schools, hospitals and charitable Insti tutions as is accorded to other powers would be given August 2. The giving of the answer was then postponed to August 4, but up to the present time no answer has been received. The porte recognized the demand In prin ciple, but thus far has failed to exe cute the necessary measures, and the American legation has now sent a com munication to the porte pointedly de manding a speedy and final settlement, the issuance of the necessary orders and the official acknowledgment of the American demands. There are no monetary claims. SARDOTJ WONT RCN. Declines to Become Democratic Can didate for Connty Commissioner.

'Tony Fisher says that Ida Leonard of Pueblo, Mrs. Mary Welsh, Chicago, Miss Mary Price, LaSalle, 111., were with him and are probably lost. The express car safe was open when found but do not think robUed as bag gage car was in middle of river and in accessible. Special agent was on train and looking out. Dining car and one sleeper right. Vestibule damaged on one sleeper and one truck slightly dam aged. Tne baggage and express car were broken to pieces and contents washed down stream, except the safe which was recovered. The smoker and chair car also damaged. T think estimate of 70 probably cor rect. Have no means of getting ac curate figures until conductor's remains are found and the tickets counted. Brakeman who went through coaches after leaving Colorado Springs thinks this number about correct. 'Train No. 4 passed bridge about 45 minutes before No. 11 reached it. 'The cloudburst occurred between 7:30 and 8 o'clock, but heaviest water from the hills evidently did not reach track until after No. 4 passed the bridge. 'The track was not washed out be tween Pueblo and bridge. One small culvert partly washed out about mile and a half east of bridge. There were 29 passengers in sleepers and dining car." WORST STORM IN TEARS. Swept Over Southern Colorado, Doing Great Damage. Denver, Colo., Aug. 8. Specials from points in southern Colorado tell of the heaviest rain and wind storm that has swept over that portion of the state in years. Floods caused considerable damage to property of all descriptions and seriously inter fered with the running of trains. Nearly all lines leading into the southern part of the state experienced washouts. From Colorado Springs as far south as the New Mexico line and west to Saiida the storm held sway. Only meager details of the damage -done have reached here because of the semi-demoralized condition of tele phone and telegraph wires. On the Continental divide near Buena Vista snow fell and the weather turned cold. Two rock slides are reported to have occurred between Durango and Sil verton on the Rio Grande road. Railroad's Estimate New York. Aug. 8. A dispatch to the general office of the Denver Rio Grande Railroad company in this city says that the number of passengers in the smoker and chair car is estimated at 70, only three of whom are account ed for as living. Eight bodies have been recovered and 12 more reported in sight. All of the cars are a total wreck and good many of the passengers have probably been washed entirely away. Every effort is being made to recover the bodies which are sent to Pueblo promptly when found. It is expected that the track will be in shape to pass trains tonight. Missouri Pacific Not in It. St. Louis, Aug. 8. Officials at the headquarters of the Missouri Pacific company in this city, explain that their road has no other connection with the illfated train on the Denver Rio Grande, wrecked last night, than to care for its passengers who are trans ferred to its waiting train at Pueblo for eastern points. The wrecked train was made up entirely or rolling stock of the Denver Rio Grande road and manned by men of that line. GERMANS KEEP COOL No Excitement Over the Sinking of Their Ships by Russia. St. Petersburg, Aug. 8.-1:30 p. m. In spite of, the excitement shown by a sec tion of the German press, the German government is acting as calmly in the matter of the sinking of the steamer Thea as it did in the matter of the seiz ure of the mail steamer Prinz Helnrich and is seemingly convinced that if any wrong has been done it will be righted. Germany thus far has contented herself by asking for an explanation of the sink ing of the ship, but in the absence of result in the official inquiry by the prize court at Vladivostok, Russia is not able to reply. The German consul at Vladivostok con firms the statement that the Thea had only 160 tons of coal on board, not enough to get her to Vladivostok. Me says sne was loaded with fish and fish manure. The captain was given 20 minutes in which to abandon his ship and the crew lost all their possessions. From the in formation thus far received there appar ently was less justification for sinking the Thea than for sinking the Knight Commander and if sufficient Justification can not be shown, Germany will doubt less ask for compensation for the ship. htch, it is believed Russia will not re sist. Russia has been officially notified of the agreement reached between Great Britain and the United States relative to the protection of the seals at the Kom mander islands. Lamont Not in the Race. New York, Aug. 8. Former Secre tary of War Daniel S. Lamont Is quot ed In a World special from Mill Brook, N. Y., as having declared he is not a candidate for governor of New York, on the Democratic ticket. "I am not a candidate, and I believe this is a year when no man should seek office," he said.

Wilmarth Would Determine Cause of Explosions at Greenwald Fire. Chief Wilmarth Is making a thor ough investigation for the purpose of ascertaining if possible the cause of ine explosions which occurrea at tne Greenwald fire. He regards these ex plosions as one of the most mysterious parts of the whole affair. Chief Wilmarth now holds the theory that the' fire had not been smouldering for a, long time, as some have thought. He says that he be lieves the fire to have been of quick origin. He thinks that If the fire had been burning for any length of time, the odor of the burning pine, woolens and tar paper would certainly have been detected upstairs. The woolen clothing on the tables was covered by tar paper, which makes a pene trating odor, as does the woolen itself. It was discovered today by Chief Wilmarth that the back doors of the building, which were found open by the lire department, had been opened by two of the clerks who went down in the basement to fight the fire. They opened the doors to give them selves a means of escape. Chief Wil marth thought the doors had been open all the time, which would have made it difficult to understand how the smoke should cause an explosion. To explode smoke must be closely confined, and come suddenly In con tact with the air. Mr. Greenwald stated today that he had not yet decided whether he would reopen for business in Topeka. I will have to wait and get this matter settled up before I do anything further," he said. "It has been stated," he continued, "that a gasoline tank was found In the basement. I want to say that there was no gasoline in the basement. There was a small one burner gasoline stove in the back part of the basement, but it was not anywhere near the place where the fire originated, and was not in the fire at all." Chief Wilmarth wishes to say. in Jus tlce to his assistant. E. E: Babcock, that Mr. Babcock had charge at the fire before he arrived. The chief states that Assistant Babcock sent out the general alarm promptly, and together with all officers and men, did splendid work fn every way. MEN ACES MUKDEN Gen.

Applications of candidates for the pastorate of the First Methodist church will be considered at a meet ing of the elders tonight. There are probably a dozen ministers who are being considered for the place. Theoretically the church cannot engage its own minister, he being ap pointed by the bishop of this district. Bishop Hamilton has the appointment in charge. When he preached in To peka about two months ago, however, he said that anyone the church would agree upon as satisfactory, would re ceive his endorsement. The pulpit has been vacant since Rev. J. D. McFarland's resignation to become secretary of the Sunday School ITnion. The church pays $2,500 a year and provides a manse, which makes the salary about $3,200 a year. The Topeka" Methodist church is looked upon as quite a plum by min isters and cuite a number are anxious to get the appointment.. S200,000' ROBBERY Biggest Jewelry Steal Ever Known in Tills Country.

Orders have been issued to spare no expense or labor to find the robbers and restore the gems, and every sug gestlon that could aid in the discovery has been covered but thus far the case is still involved in mystery.- WILL MAKE COMPLAINT. Appeal to Board of Health About City Dump. Freeman Sardou and a delegation of people-who-lire In the neighborhood of the old crematory and city dump, are planning to come before the meet ing of the board of health this evening for the purpose of making a demand that the city cause the crematory to be removed to some other place. Backing up the demands of Mr. Sardou and others. Councilman Joseph Griley introduced at the last council meeting a resolution declaring that the contract existing between the city arid the Topeka Desiccating company be terminated at once, because of the failure of the company to comply with the terms of the contract and build the kind of garbage plant which the city ordinance requires. Take it altogether, it rather looks as though the long standing fight on the city garbage question was about to be reopened. Will Osborn, who has had charge of the garbage work for the present company, has given bet ter satisfacton than anybody else who has ever had anything to do with the work, because he has apparently tried to do it as well as he could, but he has not had the proper facilities for the work. The company which was to be organized failed to materialize, and he has been working along with the old Thompson desiccating plant. Mr. Sardou said today: What we want is to have this plant moved. Nothing else will suit us. It has been endured too long already. The city has no right to dump there. The odor is so bad from this desiccating plant that It made people sick that 1 had working for me out here picking cher ries. They run the nightsoil out to the river in an open trench, and the smell when they burn dead animals is enough to drive all the people away from the neighborhood." Councilman Joseph Griley says: It isn't right to have such a place right on the main road between Topeka and Oakland. The idea of people being obliged to go past that stench on the road between two adjoining cities! I am in favor of having that plant moved far enough away from the city to make it entirely unobjectionable. We can have it hauled clear outside the city and dumped for half the money we are paying this firm, and it won't be objectionable." CONTRIBUTE SLOWLY. Band Stand Fund Does Not Increase Rapidly.

Fruit Conies in From Arkansas and Colorado. MEATS ARE 30 HIGHER Dealers Saj the Quality Poorer Than Usual. Is The localGardenersAreProniis- ing Cantaloupes Soon. There is no dearth in the vegetable and fruit market of Topeka so the dea lers say. The vegetables which enjoy a local demand this year are plentiful and cheap while the quality is even better than in former years. "The fruit on market is a story of fluctuation though the fruits abounding on Topeka markets at this season of the year are largely the product of some other locality and shipped In. The fear which was manifest that the high waters of this spring had ruined the garden stuff which always comes in for such -a steady demand -ion the summer menu is. found to be worthy of no foundation. Green corn is larger and better conditioned than ever and is finding a ready market at from 8 to 10 cents per dozen retail. The "evergreen" corn is one of the popular varieties on the market and is exceptionally fine ap pearing. Corn too is free from the lit tle worms which are the housewifely worry. The high water probably drown ed the worms out before they got to the- corn. Lima beans are selling, a quart measure, for 15 cents and good ones at that. Home grown tomatoes will be plentiful and are now priced at 6 cents a pound. The indications for the local crop are so good that the can ning factory is contemplating starting I up within two or three weeks Squashes are commencing to put in their appearance, they are purchased two for five. Turnips, good ones at 13 cents a peck, while beets bring five cents more for the same quality. On ions, for your complextlon or just for the eating are sold at 30 cents a peck. Cauliflower and egg plant are a scarci ty, the high water proved too much for their growth and but few can be had. Lettuce is still here and selling at 5 cents a bunch and this is imported from Colorado along with celery which also brings the same amount for a bunch Sweet potatoes are gradually edging their way into the grocery stores along. the avenue. They cost ten cents a pound to the cultivated palate. The or- d.'"lry;IrJ!lntates can be bought at high water and the superabundance of water this spring appears to have had but little effect on the quality or yield. Along the fruit line the local season is not advanced enough to afford very much in the way of offerings. Home grown grapes will commence to come in within the next two weeks. The in dications are that graphs will be plenti ful and up to the best standard. Peach es, the Mountain Rose and Champion, early varieties. 'will be marketed within the next ten days by the local growers. Blackberries at three boxes for 25 are the last tail end offerings of the sea- Bon, red raspberries irom Colorado sup planting them. The red raspberries are 1'riced at two boxes for 15. 'Apples, "specially the early kind, are very poor, specked and dwarfed. Even the Maiden Blush apples are not show ing wel! though a dealer here and there exhibits some of a better quality. Jonathans come in after the Maiden Blush and they will doubtless show up In better condition. Orange-? and bananas are not abun dant at this period and come rather in the list of luxuries, the former bringing 50 cents a dozen, while the latter are bein sold at about 25 cents for a dozen. The palm in the fruit line belongs to the pears, plums, peaches and watermelons imported from Colorado and Arkansas. Plums are now shipped in from California, though the crop in Utah will be ripe enough for shipments within the next ten days and will bring a consequent reduction in their price from 30 cents a basket td 15 cents. Peaches are now coming in from Northern Arkansas and the Elbertas are listed at 25 cents a basket. The local raisers of watermelons and can taloupes promise that they will have some of their yield ready for the re tailer within two weeks. As It is we of Topeka have to pay 25 cents for the Texas product. One explanation forthcoming as to the unusually good condition of vegetables and small fruit Is that the truck gardeners have grown wise through the exprience of last year and cultivated their higher lying lands. Another dealer states that "this is not correct hut that he considered that the yield was so exceptionally large and fine that the abnormal conditions at tending the weather later in the spring could not affect substantially the en tire crop. "If the flood had not come on we would not have known what $4.50 $3.00 $2.75 $1.25 from $3.50 m I J Q to do with all the product," he con eluded. Meats can be purchased at the same price now as at the corresponding time last year. The later summer months always bring a reduction in the price from the fact that the market is rushed with grass fed cattle. This fact also means a poorer quality of beef, though as the season grows more ad' vanced this is gradually eliminated. MAXACLED LAD TO COURT. Child's Sister, Uncle and Aunt Bind Him With Strap and Chain. Xewark, Aug. 8. With a heavy steel chain wound around his waist and a strap buckled tightly about his right wrist, Jonn .Noble, a frail child, 14 years old, whose home is in No. 318 Ogden street, was dragged into the first precinct police court this morn ing. As soon as Judge Sweeney laid eyes on the lad he ordered the chain and strap removed. Then he asked why so young and delicate a boy should be dragged in bound and man acled like a desperado. Robert Fairhurst of No. 284 Presi dent street. Bast Newark, the lad's uncle: his aunt. Margaret, and his sis ter. Margaret, 19 years old, had taken him to the courtroom, each holding firmly to the strap or chain. The uncle explained they had been afraid the boy would break away. The judge smiled. "When we were all away from the house today." the uncle raid, "he called in a junk dealer and sold the parlor stove for 15 cents." "Is that all the charge you have against him?" asked the court. "It is," replied Fairhurst. Judge Sweeney- called the boy into nis otnee ana questioned him. The lad admitted he had sold the stove and said he had done it to get money to buy cakes of a certain kind, of which he was fond. The judge remanded him. STRIPPED BOY IX THE RO.VD.

Although the eighth vertebra of his spine was dislocated. Joseph Dunk, who is in the Perth Amboy hospital, likely will re cover, his physicians say. The bone was put back in place. Dunk worked in the Raritan cop per works. When standing on a pile of molds he was swept to the floor by a huge traveling crane. Dr. W. E. Ramsay found one of the bones of the spine was out of place, and took the man to the hospital. Nurses held Dunk's body firmly while Dr. Ramsay grasped him under the arms and gave a quick jerk. The bone slipped into position with a snap audible ten feet away. The lower part of Dunk's body is paralyzed, but it is believed it is owing to a bruising of the spinal cord, and will not be permanent. Boys or Girls? St. Louis, Aug. 8. One of the Inter esting features in the Agricultural Building at the World's fair, St. Louis, is the guessing contest at the Mellin's Food booth. Among the hundreds of baby pictures in this booth there are 20 pictures of boys and girls. The difficulty is to know which is a boy and which is a girl. Thousands are guessing and are trying to get the J250.00 offered by the Mellin's Food Company for the one who correctly guesses the boys and girls in the pic tures. There are two very handsome oil paintings in the exhibit from the Paris Salon and some marble statues but the guessing contest is the popular at traction.

Building on North Kansas At- nui Set on Ffre. Floors 11 ad Been Saturated With Coal Oil. NINE LIVES IN DANGER. Pbjsician Called to Resuscitate Mother and Daughter. The Occupants Barely Escaped With Their Lires. An attempt was made Sunday morn ing at 3:30 o'clock to burn down the building at 816 North Kansas avenue where wer sleeping nine people. Coal oil had been poured in liberal quantities throughout the halls of the building, and had it not been for the accidental discovery of the fire by Jerome Colvin, a liveryman, it is al together probable that C. H. Cave and family and six others who rented rooms from Mr. Cave would have perished. As it was the occupants of the building were barely able to escape with their lives. 'The are was discovered "and reported by Mr. Colvin so promptly that the fire department was able to handle it with the chemical engine. The dam age to the building will probably not exceed $o0. Mrs. C. H. Cave and her mother, Mrs. White, were nearly overcome by smoke, and Dr. H. H. Keith had to be called to revive them after they had made their exit from the building. Mrs. Cave lost her way while trying to get out of the building, aud it was some time before her husband could find her. on account of the exceedingly dense smoke. She was trying to get out through another door, which was locked. The people who were sleeping in the building say that they had just man aged to get out through the rear door of the building when the flames burst through the same doorway. The fire had been started about half way up in the front stairway. Kerosene had been poured along the hallway and in front of each door of the sleeping rooms. It seemed like a deliberate attempt to burn the build ing and all its occupants. When Mr. Colvin saw the fire in the middle of the stairway, it was burning too fast for him to go up, but he yelled up the stairway and awakened Mr. Cave, who immediately awakened the nine peo ple who were sleeping on the second floor. Mr. Cave rents the second floor of 816 as a rooming house and owns a restaurant next docc. The building is owned by Miss Dolly Curtis, sister of Congressman Curtis. It was insured for $2,000. The first floor is occupied by J. Nystrom s shoe store and J. P. Spet ter's cigar factory. Neither of these places sustained any damage. Mr. Cave states that ne nas no inea wno was guilty of trying to burn him out. Chief Wilmarth says: "It was one of the most villainous attempted incendi ary fires I ever saw. It would have been bad enough had the building mere ly been occupied by stocks of goods. But there were nine people sleeping up there, and they would have all perish ed had the fire gained much more head way before being discovered. Our chemical line got at the fire so quick ly that we were able to find plenty of traces of kerosene in the hallway, be sides the strong odor of kerosene which could be detected in the building." MISS BVCHAXAX SMOKES. Uses a Corn Silk Cigarette In "Captain Rackett." Lorraine Buchanan smokes a cigar ette in the second act of the play "Captain Rackett" which is running this week at the VInewood park theater. "Shocking," says the prude. But it isn't quite so bad as it seems. The play is written so that it is neces sary for the leading lady to use- a cigarette in one of the scenes, but Miss Buchanan smokes a make-believe cigarette which resembles a real one, and which could not be distinguished from a real cigarette except upon close examination. Miss Buchanan cannot smoke the tobacco as it makes her deathly sick. But' it is imperative that a cigarette be used in the play, so she has had a lot of phoney cigarettes made for use in this play. Last night upon the opening of the new bill the largest crowd in the his tory of the Lorraine Buchanan com pany at Topeka was in attendance. The crowd was a record breaker, and the play went off very well. "Captain Rackett" is the best production which has been given at VInewood park this season, and the company playing it has caught on. The characters for the -piece are Corset Covers Beautiful assortment of Corset Covers, worth from $1.00 to $3.00, di vided into -three lots, regardless of cost. Take your choice Tuesday for 48c, 73c, 98c. V it'.. Night Gowns .$1.98 .$1.75 well taken' by the various members of the company. The first honors of course fall to Miss Buchanan who takes the role of Clarice Dalroy, the wife, of Captain Rackett, the role taken by Robert Mansfeld. h Jack Forrester made his first ap pearance in the cast last night and was very well liked. Dolly Jarvis was cast as Katie, the maid, and did her part very acceptably. Adelaide Florence was good as the jealous old maid and Homer Sibley who played opposite -was up to his usual standard, j Dorothy Benton is not in the cast this week, but she sings "Tommy Was a Bad, Bad Boy very prettily and she always gets several encores. "Captain Rackett" will be given every night this week and an entire change of specialties are introduced. The curtain rises at-8:30 and the street car service has been all that the public has wanted. Cars run to all parts of the city after the perform ance is over. a II. P. WHITNEY OBJECTS. Transfer Tax of Over $222,000 on Father's Estate. Mineola, L. I., Aug. 8.

Apple growers state that the apple crop in Kansas this year will only be atcut half what it ordinarily is. They attribute the cause for the shortage to the heavy rains which fell in the spring and prevented fertilization when the trees were blooming. Such apples as are how on the trees are ex pected to mature. They are not af fected by blight or worms and appear to be perfectly sound. Fred Wellhouse of Topeka, the largest apple grower in Kansas and one of the largest In the world, was askcJ in regard to the matter and said: "In an-ordinary year we raise about 20,000 bushels of apples on our two farms in Leavenworth and Osage counties. This year I do not expect to pick more than 10,000 bushels, if that much. The trouble lay with the failure of the flowers to fertilize. The heavy rainstorms which swept over the state all spring are directly re sponsible. The blossoms did not ma ture and fell off." When asked in regard to the effect on the price this fall, Mr. Wellhouse continued: "I do not think that the price will be changed materially from last year, when we received $3 and $4 per barrel for the general run of ap ples and 5 per barrel for Jonathans. There may be a slight natural inorease in the price, but even with only a half crop I do not believe that the price will be materially changed because in other portions of the country the crop will be fair "and will balance our' shortage:- il ';:V'"' Near Hutctithson, m the Arkansas river valley, the icrop is good, but that is practically the only place 'in the state where that condition exists. The weather was more regular at that point through :the spring. But,, then not nearly the apples are grown in western Kansas as in the eastern half of the state and the gpod crop there will not have much effect on the state's general output. The half crop condition is about the same all over the middle west. All of the states between the' Mississippi and the Rocky mountains complain1 of a shortag-e. In New York state tne outmit' will be a heavy one, also in the Pacific, states. But the country looks towards Kansas for a big share or its supplv of apples, and the light crop here ''will without doubt have its' ef fect, on the apple market all over the country this fall. WOMAN STOPS A THIEF. Saves $250 for Her Husband ana Causes -Arrest of Companion. Newark, Aug. 8. But for the vigi lance of his wife Frederick Herman, a saloonkeeper of No, 349 West Kinney street, would have been robbed of $350 early this morning.

In his hurry' Herman left the wallet on the back bar, The first customer ran out of the rear room, picked it up and-was about to dash out, when Mrs. Herman, .keeping' watch from a room adjoining shouted' to her husband. The man threw the wallet on the floor and ran. Instead of pursuing the fugitive Herman took" the other man prisoner and dragged him to the police station.

HORNE'S treatment Restores Weak Men V and Women to HEALTH AND ...STRENGTH $10 X-RAY EXAMINATION FREE to all who call before August 20. Why are so many men and women ailing? Why do they continuously take treatment for their private- ills and yet never get well? In the ma jority of cases it is because they se cure only ordinary treatment. It is because they go to the general prac titioner, who lacks the teachings of experience in special cases, or what Is still worse for them, they go to th self-styled speaUst'. whose specialty embraces, as HetpJ announcements, Imply, every known, disease. It is be; cause they come 4n -contact with too many specifics,' free samples, or sim-r liar devices. ,-That such treatment. does not nor cannot, cure diseases and weaknesses peculiar to men and wo men is well known to all who have tried it. Neglected or badly treated cases of Varicocele, tricture. Blood Poison, Impotency, or allied troubles require the very best treatment the medical, profession affords. They require superb skill. They require the deep est, clearest, keenest possible insight into the mysteries-of 'human func-i tions, shrouded as they .often are in darkness, where the ordinary medicaC eye. sees but little' and guesses at facts. I have given my whole time and at-, tentiqi to these maladies, of men and women.

The ITnion Pacific railroad this morning filed before the county com missioners a profile map or jta new proposed double track from Kansas City to Menoken and separate line from that point to MarysvlUe, Kas., the Topeka Northwestern, wnere it Joins the main branch and makes straight run between ttansas uity and Denver, 100 miles less in length than the present route. The feature concerning the new road is its effect upon the territory which it traverses through Shawnee county. After leaving Menoken, or properly speaking, Cairo, a few miles west of Menoken. the route goes in northwesterly direction towards Marysville and then out of the county at the northwest corner of Rossville township in section 2. It means a great deal to bllver Lake and Menoken townships. That terri tory has no immediate railroad points Just now, and the people living there welcome the line. At Rossville city and Silver Lake city there is a different feeling towards the line. Both of these places think that it will detract trade from their stores. While no protest has been filed officially, the people are not at all in sympathy with the building of the line. Should bonds be asked for, they would receive a decidedly adverse vote in both these towns. The Union Pacific has, however, not asked for bonds up to this time, and it is not likely that the company will do so. The particular grievance which Sil ver Lake city people entertain against the line Is that they fear that the trade, from the Indian reservation in Jackson county will go to some new town which is likely to be established at some station along the new line in the northern part of Silver Lake town ship. Then, too, the farmers of that township have been in the habit of going to Silver Lake with their trade. while if a station is established nearer their homes than Silevr Lake, they wi:i naturauy go to me new place. The filing of the profile map gives a decided tinge of surety that the road will be built. The Union Pacific has already unloaded several cars of ties .just outside of North Topeka and these are probably for the double track. Everything indicates that work will commence at once. t t t t NOW FOR THE FINAL C3LEAN-1JF OF" WASH GOODS No hesitation now about taking the loss.

COLONEL Bl'XKER. lie Tells About Ills Misunderstanding witn a uovernor. "1 once fought a duel, suh." said Colonel Bunker, as he swallowed the last of his cocktail "I once fought a duel with a gentleman because I un- derstood him to say that rabbits were omnivorous. He said herbivorous, suh, but I got It omnivorous and called him out and shot him in the shoulder. "It was two- years later the misunderstanding- with the governor of my state, and it came about In a curious way. I will give you a correct version of the affair from beginning to end, and you -will discover that neither of us bad anything to be ashamed of." The colonel took three or four min utes to cut oft one end of a cigar and light the other and settle down in his chair, and then continued: "I was a senator in the legislature at the time, suh, and among other things I was anxious for a law to protect the catfish, of our state. Perhaps you don't know, suh. that what the codfish is to Massachusetts, the hog to Ohio and the sheep to Vermont the catfish is to Arkansaw? It is our meat. With the catfish teeming in every river, pond and bayou, we have gone marching for ward with the procession and made the name of our state known from pole to pole. Without him we should have i 'sunk into oblivion from the very first. After thoroughly investigating the subject I came to the conclusion that the catfish needed protection until he could recuperate. I wanted a law to make it a penal offense to catch one for the next five years. Our governor was with me. and so were a large num ber of our statesmen, but the general public cried out against any measure. "In this emergency, suh in this emer gency I was sent as a delegate to the governors of Mississippi, Missouri, Ten nessee and Louisiana. The ideah was an Interstate law, one which would protect every catfish in American wa ters at the same time. I found the re spective governors charmed with the Ideah and favoring the contemplated measure. The governor of Louisiana was the last one to be seen. His re ception was all that could be hoped for. We had scarcely shaken handa nhen he courteously inquired: It Is Our "ieaT "Colonel Bunker, may I hope that yo" will have a nip with me?' "I did not disappoint him. We nipped, and then we began to converse, but we had not been conversing ovaa five min utes when the governor said: 'Colonel Bunker, will yo' do me the honah to have a whisky with me?' 'With the greatest of pleasure,' says I, but the governor nevah made a move. There was no whisky on the table, and he did not bring any. I felt somewhat hurt in my feelings, suh in my feel ings but did not allow him to observe it. We had continued our chat for three or four minutes when the gover nor observed: "Really, Colonel Bunker, but I shall be delighted to see yo' help yo'self to the whisky.' 'With yo'r permission, suh with yo'r permission.' I replied; but upon my word I looked around and was unable to discover the usual decanter and glasses. "They were not on the table, nor yet In the room, and I felt the blood rush to my head at the ideah of the gover nor of Louisiana attempting to belittle my dignity as a soldier, a statesman, a senator and a delegate. He must have noticed my perturbation, sah, but he made no comments. On the contrary, he asked me to estimate the number of catfish in the southern waters, and I had Just given him my figures when he solicitously remarked: "Colonel Bunker, help yo'self to the whisky, suh help yo'self.' "Then I rose up. suh then I rose up," said the colonrt. as he turned to me. "and I looked closely at every ar ticle on the table, but there was no demijohn, no Jug. no decanter, no glass es. In this southland, suh, when yo' ask a gentleman to imbibe with yo there must be something to imbibe some liquid to moisten the throat and cement the bond of friendship. In this case not even water was to be seen. My perturbation would no doubt have been apparent to the most casual ob WALLS YS0 2?Z02OClRAPJJS The brilliant campaign of the Japanese armies under Gens. Kuroki, Oku and Nodzu, has as Its objective 4h Russian military base of Mukden. With the arrival of the Japs at this city the Mlkado;s soldiers will probably adopt a defensive campaign and allow the Russians to take the offensive. 1 ProDaD1 t server as I turned upon the gentleman and reDlied: 'Governor, yo" have pistol, of co'se Of co'se. colonel." 'And there is a grove near at hand?' 'A beautiful grove." "The governor was game, suh he was game and a thorough gentleman said the colonel, as he rubbed his hands in a satisfied way. "He rose up and put on his hat and followed me, and as we passed through the door of nia office he courteously auerlea: "'Colonel Bunker, will yo' partake again befo' we go?' "We entered the grove; suh, and paced off the usual ten paces and took my stand at the far end. We had no seconds, and no one to give the word, but I said to. the governor: 'Governor Trascott, yo' are a gen tleman, suh, and yo' may count and give the word." "Then I observed a shade of perplex ity upon his face, suh Just a shade and after halting between two opinions for a moment he came xorwara ana said: Colonel Bunker, as I understand tl, this is a duel?' 'Of co'se, suh." In some manner I have given yo' offense? Yo' have, suh. I have always heard to spoken of as a gentleman, and don't think yo' will deny that I belong to the same class, but yet. suh, yo have deliberately insulted me. It cannot be, colonel.' But it is. suh. On several different occasions, as we conversed about cat fish, yo asked me to take a nip with you,' and yet there was nothing at hand to drink. The look of perplexity clung to his face for a moment longer and was then replaced by a bland smile. He threw down his pistol and held out his hand and when he had made his explanation we fell into each other's arms. It was curious thing, suh a curious thing. lhe governor naa a parrot in his office. and it was that parrot which had invi ted me to imbibe, when there was notn ing to wet up with. Egad, suh, he came near precipitating a tragedy, that bird. There has never been a doubt in my mind that both of us would have fallen at the first fire. We returned. to the office arm in arm, and we had a nip, suh several -nips, suh and we parted like gentlemen and brothers. "But how about the catfish?" I ask ed. "Couldn't be protected by state laws. suh, i answered the colonel. "We dis covered Xhat all of our catfish were un der the Jurisdiction of the United States as Inhabiting navigable waters, and we had to drop the matter as states. "We are now pressing congress for a general law, and there is hope, suh there is ground for hope that the day will come when a young and tender catfish within the waters of the state of Arkansaw will be as safe from de vastation .as the child at Its mother's knee. That, suh. Is the story of my mlsun derstanding with the governor of Lou isiana, and as the mawnin is rather op pressive, and as talking is conducive to a dryness of the throat, yo might bec kon to William and throw out a sug gestion that less ice and mo' of the real liquid would give greater satisfac tion to the gentlemen about to imbibe.

It was Mrs. Anderson who first sug gested the society, and thereby she hoped to attain national fame. For in the first blush of enthusiasm she pre dicted that the Provident Home club would In time extend from New York to- San Francisco, with the Carson club as the parent organization. The P. H. C. was simple enough. It consisted of nearly all the marriageable girls in Carson who, fired by the en thusiasm of Mrs. Anderson, pledged tnemesives not to marry until their fu ture spouse had provided a home and a bank account, thus making ample provision for the inevitable rainy day, The young men had no share in this entnusiastlc admiration for Mrs. An derson. Indeed, Frank Harper had had nis nrst quarrel with Rose Wilder be cause he had happened to hint that Mrs. Anderson's enthusiasm might be somewhat less were she not comforta bly married. "Jack Anderson has plen ty of money, he growled, but old man Anderson married when his sole capital was a railroad ticket west, and he nev er saved up enough to bring his wife out to their new home until after the second summer. "Do you dare to say that she is not sincere?" demanded Rose hotly. She was one of Mrs. Anderson's strongest partisans. "She is sincere. admitted Harper, but if Jack was as poor as his father was, and she loved him, 1 11 bet the P. H. C. would never have been form ed." In the end Harper went home with a heavy heart, carrying the little ring that had been the pledge or tneir love. Rose had declared that he must pay off the mortgage upon his farm before they were married, and have at least $5,000 in the bank. It took Harper ex actly a week to pull himself together. Then he inaugurated retaliatory meth ods. The ladies of the Methodist church were to have a fair for the purpose of lifting the mortgage from the church property. Some time before Mrs. An derson had declared that the church should stand free of debt within a year, and it was believed that this- fair would provide the last $200. The day before the fair opened the young men of Carson came out with small badges bearing the letters G. S. C, but the mystic import of these char acters could no tbe learned. The only information elicited was that Frank Harper was its president, and that It would make its object known in good time. The fair was duly opened. Half a dozen local celebrities made speeches. and two or three dozen married men made purchases from their wives and daughters who were standing behind the stalls. Then there seemed to come a lull. It was Mrs. Anderson who made the discovery that there was-not an un married man in the room. Every young girl in Carson was present, either as a saleswoman or visitor, but there was not a bachelor in sight. The married men turned to manfully and bought what they, could -afford, but by half past nine most of the crowd had gone and the receipts counted up $1?.50. The next morning various young gentlemen solemnly expressed regret that they had been unable to attend. and promised to get around that ev ening if they could. Evidently they found it difficult, for the second night of the fair was even duller than the first. Many of the married men had tayed at home, and In desperation. Mrs. Anderson commanded her hus band to see if he could not find some of the young men and induce them to come over. It was not long before Anderson was back, his face wreathed in smiley j "Most or tne coys are m -me -va cant store, next to the postoffice." he reported. "They are havtngameeting of the G. S. club to discuss certain important matters." Did you tell tnem to come over? she demanded. I did, but they declined the in- VltaHdn." ."WeJr." said" Mrs. Andersons with a ghterifng of her lips that Anderson new full well, "J am going wer there to tell the boys what I thtnlt of them for breaking up my fain"-- I think,'- said Anderson, with a gravity of tone, which his twinkling eyes -balled "that they would .be very glad to see you. It is not in any Bnft.a secret sooietv!" Ten minutes later she was being welcomed by the G. S. C. with elab- of much benefit to the railroads. It orate courtesy. "It is with especial 1 is not too much to say that the rail pteasure," said Frank Harper, in his i roads, particularly In the west, have capacity as president, "that we wel-'bcen practically at the mercy of the come you to our meeting. We feel that refrigerator car owners for many it is to you we owe our very existence." I lo me? said Mrs. Anderson help lessly. "I'm sure I never heard of the club until Just the other day." "None the less," continued Harper, while Jack Anderson tried to get as far behind his pretty wife as he could, that she might not see his tell-tale face; "none the less, it is to you that the honor of forming the club really belongs.

WAR OS ALL PRIVATE CARS. Railroad Authority Says Lines Are at Mercy of Such Equipment. It now looks as if the reign of the private car was approaching an end. The interstate commerce commission is conducting an elaborate investiga tion as to the conduct of this class of cars, which Is likely to De proauijnve yearsj So far as the rates on com- modifies handled by these corporations are concerned, the railroads are prac tically without voice. No better illustration can be fur nished than the existing condition In connection with the transportation of dressed meats.

this equipment will surrender without a vigorous fight Is not to te antici pated, for it is not alone the profits accruing from the cars, that consti tute the advantage of such, ownership. nor is it even tha influence which such owners can exercise upon rates that makes the scheme attractive. -To put the packers upon the same footing as all other shippexs would go far toward making it possible for the railroads to break up the packers' con trol of the stock market, which for some years has been the most serious menace to the prosperity of that par ticular industry. The control of the transportation facilities and the influ ence exercised thereby largely deter mine the price of live stock on the one hand and the product on the other. It would be well for the inter state commerce commission to broad en its inquiries and take in every phase of this most important question.- uanway Age.
