EQUINEJJEAUTY, Beautiful and Graceful Horses on Exhibition. Topeka'a First Night Horse Show a Success. THOUSANDS THERE. Grand Stand Was Packed With Admiring People. Applauded While the Prizes Were Awarded. THE RACES DKAWWELL Runners Break All Tope k a Track Kecords. Harness Contests Go in Straight Heats. The horse show at the fair grounds on Tuesday night was an unqualified ruccess. If the giade of display is kept up In years to come, the city will become famous for the event. A hand some high grade lot of horses were fhown during the evening, and the large number of entries indicated the Interest and rivalry which has grown up about the show. The big crowd, which numbered in the neighborhood of 5,000 people, entered into the spirit of the -display, picked its favorite with regularity, and announced them with applause as they swung before the Jtrandstand on parade. The only thing to mar the show was the insufficiency of light. The ring was on the track, down in front of the grandstand and enclosed In a wall of canvas. A better place for a show could not be found. The in stallation of a number of extra arc lights would be of material benefit to the onlookers. A good megaphone nn nouncer should also be put into ser vice, for continually when the ribbon winners were picked by the Judges, this question ran through the grand stand: "vno Is it?" The opening number on the pro gramme was probably trie one which fxicted the most interest. It was a show of single roadsters and a great class of horses was entered. It took longer for this event to be decided than ny other. Dean Low, driving Ashlan ier. won the blue ribbon, but Robert Lee's Roxie, who took the red silk, was the popular horse with the crowd. The feeling among some of the spectators gave vent lu hissing, when the awards were made. Dr. Fritchard's handsome dapple gray took the third prize, and W. I. Miller's ebony black. Silver Cap. got the white ribbon. In this event the horse counted 75 per cent while the appointments marked up 25. Dean Low's rig was a strong point winner, and his driving was the best in the class. The following horses were entered In the roadster event besides the winners: Ir. Heatherly, Dotty Tell: C. H. Sam son. Wilkesbar and The Pope; H. C. Lindsey, Dixey; W. I. Miller. Maud: "W. S. Lawless. Snowball: William O. HacLane, Joe Moreland. Jr. In the gaited saddle horse class there were lust seven entries and everyone took a prize. The ribbons were divided. a set for the ladies and a set for the gentlemen. Colonel Herndon's bay stallion took the blue honors. This is one of the finest animals in the -west. J. W. Bell's General Arbuckle, took second, and W. J. Herndon. on a spank Ing bay. ridden faultlessly, got the third ribbon. Henry W. McAfee, a favorite with the big crowd got the fourth place on nls big Kansas King, Who has become a feature of Topeka, parades and the Topeka City Troop. For th" ladies, Lillian t-tephenson took first prise. Her riding was almost a model. Lida Prescott got the red ribbon, Ger trude McClintock the third and Clara Mayer fourth. The private carriage team contest ex tiled as much interest as any event outside of the first, in which the road sters were put on. There were three entries: Dr. J. C. McClintock. W. I Miller and Jonathan Thomas. The Mc Clintock and Thomas teams were in the ring ten minutes before Mr. Miller's liorses were brought in. The crowd had kept itself busy admiring the McClin tock horses and the handling of the Thomas team, -and fighting over the winner. Mr. Miller's team was greeted with a whirlwind of applause and the Judges satisfied the crowd by awarding them the ribbon. Jonathan Thomas' horses took second and Dr. McCIin tock's third. Class 4. "Livery teams for hire." was a walkaway for the turnout from the CuP livery ham. A handsome pair of bays hitched to a perfectly appointed riack took the eyes and votes of the crowd at once. H. C. Lindsey's pair of creams pulling a runabout, took the red ribbon. W. S. Lawless' grays got the third place. There were but three entries. Ia the coachman's driving contest. Albert Haley got the first award. Sam Sautters the second and William Brooka the third. The winner is an expert with the reins. In the single carriage horse entries, F. W. Xorris" Pickard got first prize, and his Aristocrat second prize, while I... P. Hubbard's Parker Wilkes got the third honors. The Norris horses were two of the finest animals ever brought to this city. Both were large light bays of rangy- build. The display of Percheron stallions was one of the best ever seen in the state. Crouch Son of Lafayette, Ind., took the first three prizes with Morton. Conquerant and Albtras. Keota Scoggin. owned by F. H. Shrep el. win the fourth ribbon.

The opening day of the racing meet in connection with the fair saw three of the track running records broken Wednesday afternoon. The new records established were for the Kansas Derby, one mile: for the five furlong and the lour furlong races. The Interest was to center about the Kansas Derby, the third sunflower classic for a mile and $500 and as usual the Derby was such an easy affair that it was lost and forgotten by the in terest taken in the last race on the card, the half mile dash. s The Derby went to Over Again, own ed by W. F. Walters of Iowa. Over Again led all the way by a comforta ble margin and although Lady Chat ham fought hard in the stretch Over Again was never in danger. The fa vorite. Tenny Bell, was left at the post. Tenny Bell reared and plunged as the rubber snapped and struck joe Cooper, a caretaker, knocked him against a post, left him unconscious and plunged and reared while the field was off. Cooper recovered a half an hour later. The grandstand crowd ror got the Derby and watched the injured man. The harness races were so easily won that there was little interest in them, the winners taking the races with such ease that not even the horse men were interested in them. The real race, the qfie the Jockeys and stable men calle'd "a real hoss race," was the half mile dash. Flying Fox was the favorite. The Fox, which the horsemen who follow the track call The Bear beeatise he is a bugbear to others, arrived here six weeks after his reputation as a runner had been spread far and wide. Flying Fox has won ev erything he went after in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and other states and he w-as supposed to pull down the half mile with ease. At the rubber Soundly was left but the rest got away with W. J. Creek more's, of Grove. I. T.. gray gelding Cyrock in the lead. Cyrock stayed in the lead all the way round running steadily and even with Flying Fox fighting every Inch of the way tor me lead. They came down the stretch in the most exciting finish of the day with Jockey Line and his gray in the lead. Flying Fox pushed his nose up to Cyrock's withers but that was the best he could do and the minute they pass ed under the wire Cyrock first. Flying Fox second and Riptare fighting hard to beat out the Fox for second place, the horsemen started a Jollification. "He beat The Bear" was the shout.

THE JAPANESE RETIRE Report That They Hare Fallen Back From l entai. Preparations in Progress for Another Big Battle. iokio, sept. 15. 1:00 p. m. The presence of the Russian warship Lena in ban Francisco is exciting- keen in terest here, although the motive of trip is not understood. One theory advanced is that Russia is seeking to test the attitude of America upon the legal questions involved. Another theory is that the Lena, while engaged in scouting, called at Korsakoff, found the wrecked cruiser Novik, learned of the scattering of the Port Arthur fleet and the defeat of Vladivostok squad ron, took the Novik's crew on board and fled to San Francisco. The tele graphic reports of the large crew and number of guns on board indicate abnormal conditions for a ship of her class. The Japanese government, while watching the incident with close at tention, has not expressed its attitude publicly upon" the case. Denies the Charge. San Francisco, Sept. 15. Kuyeno, the Japanese consul here, denies the charges made to the effect that he overstepped the bounds of official pro priety in his efforts to obtain an un derstanding with Collector Stratton re garding the Lena's presence in the San Francisco harbor. He has received a letter from Collector Stratton which disavows any reports of the kind. Buried 3,100 Russian Dead. Tokio, Sept. 15. 1:00 p. m. Field Marshal Oyama telegraphed today that the positions of the Russians In the direction of Mukden are unchanged. The total number of' Russian dead buried at Liao Yang was 3,100 List of Dead Officers. St. Petersburg, Sept 15. 7:45 a. m. An additional list published today of casualties among the officers at the front, covering the period from August 26 to September 7, gives the names of 34 Killed and 143 wounded. Preparing for Big Battle. Mukden, Sept. 15. Delayed Ac cording to Chinese advices the evacu ation of Liao Yang by the Japanese has been forced, owing to the fearful stench arising from dead bodies. The Japanese on Wednesday were fortifying the approaches by way of the river. Small detachments or Jap anese moved northward from the Taitse river, preparations for an ad vance evidently still continuing, al though the second stage of the Jap anese movement had not yet been com pleted by any means. The first was to the north, as if for a turning move ment, but General Kuroki is now go ing east while to the westward prepa rations are being made to send a large force up the Liao river. For this pur pose the Japanese already have taken 100 large barges with which they in tend to ascend as 'far as Tie Pass. It Is stated that the Japang.se are carefully preparing their turning ana flanking movements, and will not en gage in another big battle before the occupation or ne rasa, jnese prepa rations are expected to occupy one month. Baltic Fleet lias Stopped. St. Petersburg, Sept. 15. The report that the Baltic fleet will make a stay of some duration at Libau is semi officially confirmed. Japanese Fall Back. Mukden. Wednesday. Sept. 14. (Delayed in transmission) Everything is quiet here. The Japanese have retired south ward and it is even reported that they have evacuated Yentai. The belief pre vails here that the lull may continue for several weeks. Stirring events at the battle of Liao Yang are the sole topics among the offi cers and soldiers here. Heroic feats are recounted and the desperate nature of the Japanese charges south of Liao Yang and their lncreaiuie advance repeateuiy over the dead bodies of their comrades are constantly alluded to. The Russians also made several bayonet charges, among the most brilliant in that of the Mors hansk regiment, headed by its wounded colonel. The youthfulness of the Japanese sol diers surprised the Russians. Some of tnem are not more man is years oin. The reports that the Japanese bolstered up their courage with intoxicants are classed as nonsense, the best evidence to the contrary being the remarkable endur ance which they displayed. JAPAN LKVIES TAXES. Creates a Sensation by Her Course in Manchuria. Mukden. Sent. 15. The Japanese are causing a sensation among the natives of Manchuria as they advance by establish ing their own system of taxation and ad ministration as though the country were actual Japanese territory. They are pay ing for supplies with promissory notes -m the war fund, a blanket note being given for payment of each village on the basis of population, leaving the residents to di-' vide pro rata. Few of these notes have yet been collected in cash, but Japanese officials are collecting a cash tax levied THE STATE FAIR BY He Won "in a Walk." "for war expenses." They have even no tified the governor of Mukden to discon tinue the salt tax, as it will be readjust ed upon a Japanese basis. They have al so doubled the custom duties of Yinkow, and have placed such heavy tax upon the thousands of boats sailing thence as prac tically to paralyze trade. The weather continues unsettled. The conduct of the Japanese since their occupation of Liao Yang indicates a, lax ity of discipline. One of the first inci dents after the occupation was the open ing of a number of music halls.

We esti mate that the gate sale represents about 10,000 people, that the advance sale represents about 6,000 people. Besides this the exhibitors' tickets are to be reckoned and the passes held stockholders, etc. On this reckoning we think the number of people on the grounds was close to 25,000." The attendance at the fair Wednes day, which was really the first day of the fair on account of the post. ponement cf Tuesday program on ac count of rain, is by far the largest day attendance the fair management has ever had. Dan Patch Is fast improving and to day his owner, M. W. Savage, and his trainer, H. C. Hershey, decided that if the weather continues to grow warmer and Dan's improvement con tinues that he- will Be exhibited in front of the grand stand at the races Friday and Saturday afternoon and at the horse show Friday and Saturday nights. "A man came to me this morning and asked to be allowed to go into the private stable and see Dan Patch," said Mr. Savage. "He said he had come 300 miles tp... see him. There are hundreds of people who came on purpose to see Dan and while it is im possible for- him to go again his record, we think it will be possible to take him onto the track Friday and Saturday so the people can see him." The center of interest during the fair has been the champion race horse ana nis serious sickness and his in ability to pace against time has been a bitter disappointment to the fair managers and to the public. Dan Patch is looking- well todav as any horse and he stands In his stable quietly. Only yesterday he was rest less and in great pain. A $1,000 match race has been srlrieri to the Friday afterno on n rnrr.im m e of the fair when Jim Underwood, the 11-year-old blind trotter owned by Monte Campbell of Topeka. will con test with Vanity S.. owned bv S.

Vanity S. won from Jim Underwood at Winfield two weeks ago and Mr. Morey informed Mr. Campbell that he would wager $500 that Vanity S. could do the same on Jim Underwood's home track. Campbell immediately covered the wager with $500. The $1,000 has been posted and the race is set for Friday afternoon. Jim Under wood is one of the fastest horses in the west and the track record will prob ably be broken in every heat of the race. SENECA HEATH DIES.

A STATE JOURNAL One of the Gallant Guards. POLITIGAIGOSSIP Secretary Shaw Speaks In Kan sas City. Made Strong Address from Re publican Standpoint. ON MONET QUESTION. Arraigns the Democrats for Their Uncertain Position. Mr. Hutchings Nominated for Congress by Democrats. Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, who is recognized as one of the greatest campaign orators in the country, spoke at Kansas City, Kan., last night and tonight he will be at Fort Scott. Secretary Shaw is regard ed as one of the greatest drawing cards in the Republican national cam paign, not only because of his ability as a speaker, but because he is a mem ber of President Roosevelt's cabinet. A tent had been procured for the meeting and about 2,500 people heard Secretary Shaw. Congressman Bower sock appeared on the platform with him and was introduced for the pur pose of introducing the principal speaker. Secretary Shaw discussed the tariff, the Philippines, the trusts and other national issues. Coming to the atti tude of the Democrats on the money question he said: When the Democrats met at St. Louis they did not vote for a gold standard, for they knew they would be deteated if they did. They did not byvote for silver, for they knew they would be defeated if they did. They did not say that the money question had been settled. They said nothing. So the New York candidate tele graphed that he regarded the money question as settled. He didn't say that it was settled right, or that it was set tled wrong. He is looking for an issue. "Then they say 'Make Roosevelt an issue.' You cannot mention Roose velt's name in any Democratic meeting west of the Alleghanies without hear ing cheers. They will not attack the personal integrity of Theodore Roose velt. They will not attack his patriot ism. They will not attck his courage. They will not attack his independence. They will not attack his intelligence. They will not atta,ck the wisdom, meas ured by results, of anything he has done or sought to do. They will not claim that his administration has been vacillating or disastrous. They will only express the,opinipn that a man who does things must of necessity do wrong things, and that a man wno thinks quickly must of necessity think incorrectly; and that a man who is ambitious for his country's prosperity and for his country's peace and safety must of necessity be unsafe. The logic of their argument is that the only safe mi. would be some one who can be whipped into a telegram to the effect that, regaraiess or nis previous ncn and his present convictions, he is wil ling to acquiesce, for the time being, in anything he does not tninK 11 exyeui ent to oppose." Olathe.Kan.. Sept. 15. C. F. Hutch ings of Kansas City, Kan., was nom inated by tne rusionists ior cuubi here late yesterday afternoon on tho first ballot, and on motion of J. I. Shep pard of Fort Scott the nomination was made unanimous. The other candidate was Noah L. Bowman of Garnett, and there was more Bowman sentiment in the con vention than had been expected. In fact the majority of the Populists were for Bowman. A meeting of a conference committee between the Populists and Democrats lasted for three hours during the after noon before the convention got down to business. P. P. Elder, the old Pop ulist war horse of Franklin county, in sisted on a joint convention participat ed in by both parties and he finally had his -way. Then the Populists askea ror a resolution declaring against retiring any part of the circulating medium ana against any measure to recoin silver dollars into fractional currency. After a long discussion Mr. Hutchings was called into the conference and asked to express himself. He declared against the contraction of the currency, but said he did not want to be tied up .by any resolution so that he could not work with the Democrats in congress. Each convention was then left to pass its own resolutions and the joint con vention only selected the nominee. Reuben Chenault of Fort Scott, pre sided over the joint convention. W. W. Rose of Kansas City, Kan., placed Hutchings in nomination for congress man, and J. I. Sheppard. of Fort Scott nominated Bowman. On the Democratic side Hutchings received 81 votes, and Bowman 22. On the Populist side Hutchings received 30 and Bowman 49. Total, Hutchings 111; Bowman .71. Mr. Hutchings is one or tne leading lawyers of Kansas. He was born fifty eight years ago in New York and received his education in that state. He was admitted to the bar in Mich igan in 18 66. He came to Kansas the following year, locating at Osage Mis sion, Neosho county, where he opened an office and began the practice of his profession. He represented his district in the state legislature in 1873. He went to Kansas City, Kas., eighteen years ago. He has never held office in Wyandotte county, but has been a member of the legal profession for CARTOONIST. A Harness Race Favorite. years. Mr. Hutchings is a member of tne state board which examines ap plicants for admission to the bar. He has been interested in a number of movements, the latest of which is the plan to organize a "drainage district" in the Kaw valley in Wyandotte coun ty. He was formerly associated with L. W. Keplinger, but the firm Is now H. D. Hutchings. Mr. Hutch ings is a great reader and owns one or the largest libraries in the state. He is a heavy property owner in both Kansas Citys. Judge J. H. Gilpatrick, judge of dis trict court of Leavenworth county, has received an endorsement' for re-election from every attorney in the county, which means that there will be no can didate against him in the election. This is the first time such a thing has ever happened in Leavenworth county. J. Ed Urie, who recently sold the People's Herald at Lyndon, Osage county, who had for years been the Populist organ, will this week start a new Democratic paper at Osage City, to "be known as the Osage County Times. While Frank Vincent did not secure a renomination for state senator in the Thirty-sixth senatorial district, the fact that he carried Reno county over whelmingly in the face of a bitter fight made on him bv the boss busters is regarded as a vindication of him by his constituents. The boss busters were after Vincent because he opposed them last spring, but he carried the county by more than two -to one. In the senatorial convention at Kingman, the Kingman county delegates consid ered that Pratt county had a stronger hold on their support than Reno, as i-ratt has never had the senator. King man therefore gave its votes to Car ver, the Pratt county candidate, and nominated him. C. S. Finch, of the Lawrence Ga zette, has been twitting William Allen wnite about not supporting T. W. Kelly. Here is a frank confession from White: "Some times when there is a show- coming a boy will promise his folks not to fight. When the other boys hear of it, they shove him around and clod him, and make him walk turkey fashion and trip him up and pinch, and do all sorts of mean things to him. If Charley Finch of the Lawrence Gazette, will just come off the townsite after election and start something with this paper about Tom Kelly, he will be accommo dated! But Just now the editor of tlus great religious paper desires to go to the show, more than he does to get lick ed in a righteous cause. IS A MYSTERY. Two Mayetta Citizens Are Shot from Ambush. 11 Isaacs Charged With Fatal ly Wounding Ed Darls. Mayetta, Kan., Sept. 15. Ed Davis, the livery man, while returning from the Indian reservation, where he had driven two Indians, was shot from am bush and fatally injured by a ball through. the stomach.

His leg mav have to be amputated. Later Isaacs was arrested and taken to Hoi- ton charged with shooting Davis and himself. The case is mysterious. PARKER IN THE CITY. Democratic Candidate for President Meets Party Leaders. New York, Sept. 15. The yacht Sap phire on which Judge Alton B. Parker left Esopus last night ror this city ar rived today and anchored oft Fifth street. Judge Parker remained on board until af ter breakfast. It was a stormy and interrupted trip down the Hudson from the candidate's home at Esopus. The yacht anchored at Cornwall during tne neigni. or tne storm and did not resume the trip until daylight brought clear weather. Shortlv after the Sapphire came to anchor Judge Parker came asnore ac companied by John B. McDonald and Judge Parker's secretary, Arthur Mc Causland. The judge appeared to be in excellent health. He was asked about his trip down the river and redied: "I have nothing to say except that it was a ratner pleasant inp down, aitnougn it was rough and we rolled considera bly." As the party went to a carriage a boat keeper at the pier dressed in overalls and with sleeves rolled up. went uir to Judge Parker and greeted him by saying: Judge, let me snaice your nana. "Certainly," the judge replied, and he shook hands.. The dock workmen gave three cheers as the judge started away and Judge Parker responded by raising his hat. The car riage was driven rapidly away to the Ho tel Astor, the new hotel at Broadway and Forty-fourth street. On his arrival at the hotel Judge Par ker was greeted by former Senator Davis, the vice presidential nominee, and Wil liam F. Sheehan, who accompanied him to his apartment and went into conference with him. Senator Gorman, it was said, was expected later in the day. The purpose of this visit by the judge, as well as of the others which are ex pected to follow, is to meet those persons with whom he desires to confer, or who wish to consult with him. On one of the trips it is believed the Democratic nom inee will have a talk with former Presi dent Cleveland. STOLE 515,000 LOAD. Thieves Drive Off a Loaded Truck in Daylight. New Tork, Sept. 15.

So far as known no loss of life resulted. Two fishing schooners are ashore at Coney Island point and many small craft are lying on the beach, and along the shore. In this city and in the suburbs Hun dreds of windowswere broken and the torrent of rain filled cellers and turned streets into rivers. When the theater crowds surged out into Broadway the water was ankle deep. At midnight the conditions were even worse, from that time on the storm steadily in creased in violence. At four o'clock the wind was blowing at eighty miles an hour and the rain was coming down in sheets. It was then that trolley cars came toxa standstill.1 Elevated trains stopped and traffic of all kinds was paralyzed. Along the streets through the market section of the city wagons were overturned and horses hurled from, their feet. Many plate glass windows succumb ed to the wind, especially In the down town section of the city. Soon after daybreak the rain ceased and the clouds cleared away. There was a decided fall in the temperature. Eight Were Drowned. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 15.

Kansas Senator Starts- Campaign for Colorado Republicans. Denver, Sept. 15. The Republican campaign in Colorado was opened with a speech in the Coliseum by Senator Chester I. Long of Kansas. Senator Long said. In the course of his address: This campaign is being conauctea on Judge Parker's telegram amend ing and making plain the platform adopted by the convention. Those Democrats who censured Judge Par ker for not speaking out before his nomination have no cause to find fault with him since his nomination. There are some, possibly, who wish he had remained as silent since he was nomi nated as he did before. We accept his amendment to the platform as meaning that both the Republican and Democratic parties favor the same standard of values. This peculiar sit uation, in the light of what has hap pened in the past, is aptly described by Thomas E. Watson, the Populist candidate for president, who says: For eight years the Democratic party went through this land from coast to coast, from Maine to Cali fornia, from Michigan to Florida, pro claiming all the calamities, all the ter ror, arousing all the indignation of the people of this land against the Re publican party on account of the es tablishment of the gold standard. Where are they today? They met in national convention at St. Louis. They sent their prayers heavenward by meg aphone, and they got their platform by telegraph.' 'lnere is no paramount question in tnts campaign. The opposition does not at tempt to challenge the attention of fh people to the unwisdom of any Republi can position or any important question. Its sole purpose is to attack our nominne for president, and frighten the American people into the belief that President Roosevelt is erratic, unsafe and a dan gerous man n the executive office. e insist that President Roosevelt should not be tho paramount issue of the campaign. We insist that the record of the ReDubll- can party as it has been written In legis lation during the past seven years Is the proper subject for consideration. The par ty which has been in control of the pres idency and congress has done many things and passed many laws. We in sist, if itve have done things that should not have ben done, now is the time to call the attention of the American people to tne iact. 'But the opposition Is not doing: this. It 'ndulges in some legislative criticisms and then launches Its invectives, not against the record of the Republican par ty, out against r-resinent rsoosevplt. HO has only a partial responsibility for th things that have been done since he him been president. He has approved bills, or vetoed them, but congress alone legis lated. We insist that the record of the Republican party during the past sevon years has been such that it is entitled to a further lease of power: that It Is en titled to the further confidence of the peo ple because of its actions as a party or ganization, and because it has faithfully discharged the duties intrusted to It by the American people." Prepared to Blow Vp Fortress. Paris, Sept. 15. The Journal's St. Petersburg correspondent says: "A very high personage informs me that the emperor has received a report from Lieutenant General Stoessel to the ef fect that the situation at Port Arthur Is most critical. For a week there has been no meat and-only a small quanti ty of ffour, while the ammunition there is not sufficient for a long resistance. Everything is prepared for the blowing up of the fortifications in the event of I a successful Japanese assault,

THORNTON MIMOB, iTolZVim.MV The Peasant and the Sage. Once upon a time the Peasant went to the Sage and began: 'O wise man. but l am in sore trou ble. A year ago I took me a wife. "Then of course you are In trouble, was the reply. 'Alas, yes. Tell me, O Sage, is it not a husband's right to command?" 'It surely is. 'So I have stated, time after time. but my wife refuses to obey me." "Have you argued with her? "I have often sat out to, but she al ways argued me down." Have you beaten ner "I tried it once, O Sage, and -found myself flat on my back." 'You have threatenea divorce, per haps?" 'So often that she only sneers at me when the subject is mentioned." Didst ever pack your grip and start off. as if you meant to cut loose from the shanty?" A dozen times over, out sne has simply waved me good bye. She is bound to boss the ranch, O Sage, and, not knowing what to do, I have sought thee out to ask thy advice." "That was the nroner thine to do." replied. the Sage, as he nibbled at a thistle blossom, "and you shall have it right off the reel. The man who mar ries is a fool." "Alas!" "And the married man who can't manage his wife is doubly a fool." "Alas some more!" "While the twice over fool who cnn'i realize that his wife is better fitted to manage than he is Is a hopeless cas -and should sand paper his head and say nothing. Srhool is out and you can return to your cabbages." Moral: Everybody will find his true place if he looks long enough. Do Too Want to Save $15.00?

The chances for the Russian trans port Lena to reach a home port appear to be far away. The war situation appears to be that both sides are resting, re-enforcing and preparing to try it again. The president's letter of acceptance hows that he declines to be bottled up by his campaign managers. It is doubtful that Speaker Cannon has been able to take enough time from speech making to read the letter which the president addressed to him recently. Ptesident Roosevelt, in his letter of acceptance points proudly to his par ty's record of promises redeemed. Pro bably the promise of statehood for the territories escaped his mind. Chicago News: For goodness' sake Jo not let the coal barons hear of this theory that "breathing coal dust is a cure for consumption" or they will requira the consumer to pay them for conducting a health cure. In Maine the Republicans made gain of about four per cent in their vote and yet their plurality is some thing like 5.000 below that of four years ago, all of which shows that the Democrats have been busy. As Christmas draws near the dis tance between Kuropatkin and Tokio increases. The probability is strong that he will dine elsewhere than in the Japanese capital December 25 unless he goes there as a prisoner of war. Some people are hard to please. A while ago there was complaint that the government was unnecessarily collect ing money from the people, by taxa tion and locking it up in the treasury vaults, thus removing it from the channels of trade. Now that the treas ury is paying out more than it is tak ing in there are heard expression of alarm about a deflclt. Will somebody kindly devise an automatic system by which the government can collect ex actly what It needs each day no more and no less? At its present rate of progress the Russian Baltic fleet is not likely to reach the seat of war before the mil lennium. The muster of the fleet shows that the five new battleships Souvaroff, Horodlno. Alexander III., Oreal and leg are in commission. All these are first class battleships, each of 13.400 tons displacement. three of them launched In 1901 and two in 1902. They re larger than any battleship we have afloat, being 1.100 tons heavier than the new Maine or the Missouri. Of the oth er battleships of the fleet the Navarin. 10,000 tons' displacement, was launched in 1891; the Osllaba, 12,674 tons' dis placement, launched in 189S, and the Sissol Vellky. 8.8S0 tons' displacement, was launched in 1894. All of the eight battleships of the fleet, therefore, are ef modern construction, and five of them of the latest construction. Of the cruisers sailing with the battleships the Admiral Nakhimoff, 9,000 tons' displace ment, and the Dimitri Donskoi. 5.800 tons' displacement, are armored, and the Aurora, a companion ship to the Diana, is a protected cruiser of 6,500 tons' displacement launched in 1899. In addition to battleships and cruisers, there are other vessels, giving a. total of forty pennants. This Is a fleet suffi cient to give Admiral Togo an in teresting hour or two if It should ever reach its alleged destination. ROOSEVELT'S LETTER. rFVom the "Washington Post (Ind.).l The president's letter of acceptance is Rooseveltian. It reveals the vigor ous, aggressive man. no longer entram meled by the conservatism of the cau tious candidate. He challenges the op position fearlessly, and writes as one who feels his calling and election sure. There is enough spirit In the docu ment to arouse the partisan masses. It is a veritable keynote for the stump. Many of his utterances will be com bated some of them, no doubt, suc cessfullybut, on the hole, they will appeal to Republican pride and kin dle anew the party fervor. Roosevelt is strongest when he is himself. His personality has carried him to high place. The inconsistencies of bis career have never endured to confront him as obstacles on his way to greatness, and in glvlcg full and free expression to his DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP. Efforts are being made to secure the enactment of certain measures for the relief of Chicago, which prompts the Journal to the following utter- ances.

BY M. QUAD. The British. merchantman "Hope" had been lost on or near the Kerguelen Islands, and I was one of the crew of me Dark "Rambler," sent out from Sidney, Australia, to pick up informa tion as to her end. Kerguelen proper is an island 90 miles long by 30 to 50 wtae, ana is surrounded by a dozen smaller islands and banks and reefs. Two-thirds of the big island is bare rock, and taken altogether it is one of the most inhospitable and forbid ding spots In the Indian ocean. Upon our arrival at the island, after a tendious voyage, the bark was an chored in a sheltered spot and two ex peditions sent ashore to search the coast east and west. While they were at work the long boat was to run down the other side of the island and search some of the smaller ones. It was my luck to be detailed with one of the land parties, and as it was sum mer time we had only a couple of muskets and oun- provisions to carry. The admiralty Thart of the islands. snows over one hundred bays and roadsteads in which a ship may an chor, and all these had to be inspected or would have been had we not sooner got trace of the missing ship. There were hardly a hundred rods of straight shore line to be found. At every lit tle distance the waves seemed to have eaten into the shere and made a cove, T0PEKH SAY WED., SEPT. 21.

The first thinar a Kansan will iv vhn he gets to heaven is: "What hour do they have the parade?"

A bruise is a bruise everywhere- else ex cept when gained in a railroad accident, when it becomes a contusion and a ground for damages. Fault is found because a certain old man in Atchison is not lolly, and one of ne ooys. it is ridiculous to exnect a old man to be young. A certain Atchison man carries so many secrets about with him, and Is so anx ious to tell them, that we often wonder he uoes not DUHI. It takes a little more time for a man to get his love back from a girl than the C resents he gave her and to transfer it, ut not much more. A certain man visited Atchison todav. and the people tried to treat him well Judging from his condition this afternoon, they overdid it. RETXKCTIOXS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.J A man can make a good deal of money by not being a genius. You can generally tell by a girl's garter a lot about the rest of her. A girl would rather marry anybody than to have nobody to flirt with. A woman may hate to go to the dentist because he does all the talking. When a woman doesn't want her hus band to gamble she means she doesn't want him to lose. QUAKER REFTJECXTOXS. From the Philadelphia Record. J Advice should be labeled. "Handle with care." Don't waste your time. You will need it all before you die. The worst thing about an Ideal is that there isn't any such thing. When you go to tie a horse there is always a. hitch in the proceeding.

When he got up in de mawnin' he axed his ole fadder to furgive him fur all his badness an' he was so humble dat he didn't fiprht back when anybody pulled his ha'r. From dat werry night he was a changed boy. All his time was spent in thinkin' of goodness an' how he could help his par ents; but. alas, it was too late. Gu-Gu had marked a big 'X' on his bare back, an' dat meants he would shorely fade away an' die. He did so. Befo' he was fo'teen years old he begun to cough an" sneeze. Dey fed him on castor ile aa' raw turnips an' catnip tea. but de dav he was fifteen years old he folded his hands an' died, an dat was de last of him.

The distance across waa about a quarter of a mile, and the water very deep. we headed Inland for about a mile, and then found that our river was but a finger of the sea, stop ping short at the base of a range of cliffs. On the rocks and shingle on the east side lay a mass of wreckage, There were pieces of bulwark, an an chor, a broken rudder, a lot of chains and ropes and no end of planks and beams. ;ighty rods away was a rude shelter constructed of boards taken from this heap, and in the hut we found several cooking utensils, a sail or's sou'wester, a broken compass and a seaman's chest. One of the boards used in the flooring had belonged to a ship's long boat, and the first thing to greet our eyes as we looKea in was tne name "Hope." We found it in two other instances while overhauling the wreckage, and there could be no doubt of the identity of the vessel which had met her fate in that lonely place. The doomed vessel had driven into the bay with the gale and the tide and gone to pieces on the rocks Deiore sne could anchor. The turn of the tide had carried most of the wreckage out to sea. but there was more left than we could have turned over in a day. Just here the ground fell away to the south and was covered with stunted pushes, in searching among them we found two bales of cloth, black and rotten; two cabin stools, a sailor's mess kit, and the skeleton of a man, with fragments of loth still clinging to the bones. It was strange enough that the "Hope" should have been driven into that narrow bay from the sea with a furious gale raging, but it was stranger yet that any of her crew had lived out the disaster, bhe was probably dismasted outside, and in being wave-swept she lost most of her people, but two of the sailors certainly reached shore and lived on for weeks or months, A FULL HERD OF GIRAFFES 3 HERDS OF ELEPHANTS 3 DROVES OF CAMELS BABY ELEPHANT AND MOTHER JUMPING HORSES LEAPING PONIES DESPERATE RACES Gymnastic Feats, Acrobatic Exploits, Aerial Wonders, Wild Beasts, 500 Horses, 12 Tents, Trained Animals, Curious Creatures, etc., etc. FINEST MENAGERIES IN THE WORLD. 15 Acts Going on at One Time. 100 Acts By 300 Champion Artists.

As vre figured it out they had built the hut in company, and after dwelling together for awhile there was a quarrel and they separated. There were a few empty boxes and barrels to show that provisions had come ashore and been consumed, and there was plenty of fresh water at hand. The wreck had Deen lifted up to come down with a smash on the laeeed rocks, and had not held to gether ten minutes after the first crash. We had found one of the men dead in the bushes where the other had driven him hut if the other was alive he had left the vicinity many weeks before our arrival. It was Dossible that he had heen taken off bv some passing vessel, but under the idea that he was still on the island the two parties searcnea al most everv foot of it before giving up, In this long hunt not a trace of the man was found. If he had not oeen wnen off. then he had thrown nimseii into the sea. It took several days to prove up that the wreokaae was tne last re mains of the "Hope" and then we had another look at the skeleton aiscov ered days before. Nobody had wanted to handle the grewsome object, and it had consequently been leit lying in the bushes where first seen. Now the bones were straightened out and the clothing searched, and in a tin tobacco box we found a paper of importance. The man had been fairly educated. In a note, written In pencil, he stated that he and the leader were the only ones who' escaped from the wreck. Thev had lived together for three months, and then a bitter quarrel arose and the leader stabbed the other and drove him from the hut. The writer of the note felt that he had been fatallv wounded, and he left the writing in hopes that it would some day avenge him. He gave the names of the most prominent mutineers, and included his own among them, ex plaining that all had come through the cruelty of the captain and mates. He stated that they had some talk of cutting to sea on a raft, and that now and then a sail had been seen on the horizon, but he had about given up hope of getting clear when the quarrel came and made his death certain. The document was, of course, taken along with us when we set out upon oar return vovage. though not a man of us ever expected to set eyes on the surviving mutineer, who was now also a murderer. Strange things happen at sea as well as on land, however. We had made a distance of 500 miles when we overhauled an Knglish whaleship, and the weather being pleasant, the two captains decided to exchange visits. Our boat was manned and rowed away, but it had not yet reach ed the whaler when one of her crew was seen to leap overboard, and, refus ing all assistance, he waa soon lost sight of.

The man who commit ted suicide had been taken off Ker guelen Island five months before by the whaler, telling a story that did not compromise him at all, but his guilty conscience was at work all the time, and when our craft overhauled the whaler, coming from that direction, the murderer jumped to the conclusion that we had learned of his where abouts and come to apprehend him, and he preferred to drown rather than hang- (Copyright, 1904, by T.

PICKPOCKETS BUSY. Several Kobberies Are Reported to the Police. According to advices received by the authorities of the Union Pacific rail road in Topeka, six residents of Man hattan, who attended the races yester day, were robbed while boarding the train in North Topeka. As soon as they reached their home town they notified the agent, who wired the information back to Topeka. It is estimated that the thieves se cured at least $300 from the Manhattan people. The losers were passengers on Union Pacific train No. 5 which left hero at 6:30 last night. Edward Balle. of Kansas City, re ported to the police that he was robbed of J.'iO in cash, and checks and drafts amounting to $50 while on a South To peka street car during the afternoon. August Hulkried had his pockets pick ed while boarding No. 3 at the Union Pacific depot at 12:30, and lost his purse and $20. He did not miss his pocket book until the conductor came around to take up his fare. A man who did not leave his name reported to the street car men at the transfer station that he had been robbed of $35 early In the evening while on a fair grounds car. The police have been unable to catch any of the pickpockets, although a de tective has been stationed at each depot and at the transfer station. De tective McDonald, a well known thief catcher from Leavenworth, has been assisting the local police. LOOKS LIKE A FIGHT. Republican Factions at Saratoga Fail to Agree. Saratoga. N. V., Sept. 15. The sec ond day of the Republican state con vention disclosed no material change In the situation as regards the guber- i natorial campaign. The Kings county men. the political bodyguard of Mr. Woodruff, apparently were as determ ined as ever. During the late hours last night and early today there was an effort on the part of the leaders on both sides to fill up the delegations so as to make the largest possible show ing should the matter come to an actual vote under the terms of the Kings county resolution providing for an individual rollcall. Attempts were made to induce the Kings county dele gates to consent to a modification of the resolution so as to allow undis puted delegations to vote as a whole and chairmen of delegations to cast the vote of absentees. The efforts were futile, however, and there ap peared little possibility of any conces sions on the part Of the Kings county people to avert the threatened clash on the convention floor.

These two, Damon and Pythias of the Italian colony, kept their gasoline launches at the same wharf in a little inlet trom tne nay, ana Etorea men live crabs in square wooden cages, sub merged after each catch to await a favorable market. They shared the simple pleasures and complicated brawls of the neighborhood, and their comradeship might have continued to the end of the chapter but for the wo man. Here is the story as I had It first hand: Nanny Goat Hill and Cow Hollow, part of the untamed landscape lying between the bay and Union street, have been these many years the public pastures of the neighborhood livestock. Hither In the green season of a wet year came Babette Larue, the daughter of Jules Larue, a North Beach restau rateur, to pasture her cow. planting her plump body on the end of the rope for stakepin, and busying her fingers with a piece of knitting. Babette was the owner of a pair of uncommonly big brown eyes and a square little figure, always clad In a bright red frock and a voluminous blue-check apron. A bi' of sunbonnet on her head and a blue knitted shawl around her shoulders made her a cozy picture for the two friends to gaze on when they came in damp and tired, from a day on thi deep sea. Babette had a way of tying the stake rope to a lupine bush and going down to the water's edge to watch the fisher men unload. She tiptoed and peeped around the boats and tackle, and it was "Oh oh ee isn't he a grand, beautiful one!" when Spinello,. the de bonair, looking like a knight of the old prints in his long. flapping rubber boots, swung out a particularly fine crab and dropped him, all sprawling and protesting, into his half -submerged cage: or it was "Oh, how very brave you are! They'll pinch you sure they'll pinch you!" when Garcia, small and weazened and hot-tempered, pick ed up a crab In either hand and threw them over his shoulder into his cage. The unloading done and the boats hoisted out of the water to keep them clean, Babette went back to the cow, carrying a fine live crab by a stout string: and the sight of her squeamish moues and pretty affected airs of fright amply repaid her two admirers. It was not long till the practical Gar cia drew conclusions from his unwont ed generosity that he loved Babette. the little cowherd. Spinello, more used to the admiration of the ladies, had not so easily succumbed to ma'm'selle s roguish eyes and had given his crabs for the fun of seeing his close-fisted friend put to it to uphold his place in the young lady's esteem. Garcia, In love, must needs believe that nis lady love's charms were irre sistible, and he swore to himself that his long-tried friend, Spinello, was making overtures to her in secret. Gaicia, jealous, was an ugly proposi tion to deal with. First he doubted ha friend's loyalty: from that it was an easy step to doubt his honesty. And it seemed that Garcia had reason to doubt somebody. He had announced his intention of taking to himself a wife as soon as he had accumulated two hundred dollars in the bank; yet each night for a month his crab cage had been opened and every crab had disappeared. At this rate he was steering a long course from the fair haven of matrimony, and his temper was ugly. He followed Spinello to the market, and made sure that he sold not more than his catch, but jealousy drives a man with a cruel bit, and whither he would or no he must believe that his erstwhile comrade was guilty. Driven to despe ration, and In a blinding rage, he ac cused Spinello of opening the cage for the purpose of defrauding him of a wife. Spinello, fank-eyed and debonair, turned his back with a laugh. After that Babette received all her crabs from Garcia. The following Monday was a dark, lowering day, with a wind blowing six ty miles an hour at Point Reyes. The waves outside the Potato Patch were rolling mountains high and leaping about with uncertain direction of bub bles in a tea-kettle. Spinello, never daunted by a gale, put out in the Vice roy at 5 o'clock in -the morning, and ten minutes later was followed by Garcia In the Liberty. The two boats hugged the shore, slipping through the boiling water of the Golden Gate like two huge sea-tortoises. At Point Bonita, Spinello left the protection of the shore and took a course due west in the leaping waters. Garcia hung back. Not that he was afraid, but there was Babette. And yet good crabs the Meat Workers' Union. and plenty of them were to be caught only in the open. He watched Spinel lo's launch ascend an acclivity of glassy water, slip down the incline like a duck, sending back over the water its spiteful chug-chug, chug-chug of derision. The handsom,e, dare-devil Spin ello turned and hurled a half-laughing taunt a"t the laggard. "Come on, little -one, catch crabs. What you wait for? Sneak back, tell Balbette your: nets fouled you lost your catch tell her your gasoline en gine got broke. Don't tell her a cow ard was at the helm." His boat swept into a yawning chasm and his voice was lost. Stung to recklessness, Garcia stood up in the Liberty and flung forward his answer: "I'm not afraid, you thief, you liar. You turn my crabs loose. I loose on you." A. green mountain of water lifted the Liberty and swept her outward. Garcia sent her along under full head way, and the spray dashed on either side, great spreading plumes of water, that fell over him and soaked him as in a shower bath. Spinello, rising on a wave, looked back with a loud laugh. It was not in his merry soul to estimate the venom of the small man's anger. He did not push the Victory. He was already four miles out from the Heads, and this was a good place to cast his net. It would not be convenient to lose his be loved launch in that wild sea; Spinello without a launch would be "broke," but what the launch would be without Spinello out there in the madcap wat ers never entered his head. He slowed1 down and began to haul on the nets. The stanch little Victory slipped into the trough of the sea. She sobbed like a peanut shell in a boiling caldron. The waves curled above her big and threatening, and at times it looked as if man and boat would be swept under in a watery embrace. This was not satisfactory to Spinello. It was just a bit rougher than any fisherman could calculate from shore, and here was the Liberty coming at him like a live thing. Garcia's head shot out of the little hatchway. "You call me coward," he yelled, hoarsely. "I call you thief and liar. I will ram your boat to the bot tom." Spinello grasped the situation. It was to be a duel between two gasoline launches in the open sea, with waves running mountain high and spray filling the air like smoke. He thought regretfully of his great strength and scornfully of the wiry muscles of the little man in the boat. On shore he could have finished Garcia with one shake, as a dog finishes a cat; but Garcia in a gasoline launch was as capable of inflicting damage as a man twice his size. Garcia was steering straight at the Victory to strike her amidships, but Spinello started his boat forward at full speed, and saw the other dash by and bury her nose in a wave. He threw out a tantalizing laugh. "So, very little man, you would make an end of me. Now, Just see what the Victory can do at ramming." Before the men got their launches under control, the sea had uplifted them again, this time both on the same wave. Spinello and Garcia were close enough to look into one another's eyes and read the purpose in them. They had passed the stage of wordy conflict. They looked. That was enough. That day in the rhythmic succession of the waves the seventh gathered all the force of the wind and the furious sea, and moved across the expanse of water like a Trownlng coast line, as the watery height began to feather on the crest and spume and curl. Victory and Liberty swung In the trougn di rectly in its course. Then Spinello heard a roar like the breaking apart of the skies, and green water was above him on either side everywhere. He thought the end had come. But the sea rejected him. He was popped to the surface, coughing and gasping for breath. The Liberty and Victory, wallowing fearfully, en gines flooded, Were still afloat. Spinello was a brave man. but he was not ready to die at twenty-five. Garcia thought of Babette, and fought death at thirtr. In their terrible peril, facing death by the sea, the two men forgot their personal grievances. They were ready to unite against a mightier power and a more relentless than they. "Keep your boat back keep back!' shouted Garcia. "Engine's dead!" yelled the other, a foot away. A mountain of water, so hieh the men dared not raise their eyes to it, had reared beside them. The two launches were swept to its spuming crest bow to bow. It seemed as If the world were rising in a mighty swell directly under them. Then with spite ful furv wave and wind spatted the two boats at each other. The men w ere thrown into the sea, and the two little crafts, smashed to kindling wood, were scattered on the foaming crest of the next wave. Babette sat on the end of the stakerope and knitted till late in the afternoon that memorable March day, and toward dusk, cheeks tingling and eyes smarting from the wind, drove her little Jersey down Francisco street to the domicile of her penurious old father. They had crab, tor, dinner that night.. It had recently be-i come a staple article of diet in the Larue nouaanoia. At midnight, when Cow Hollow was a black waste and the Lagune lay spread out under the fog-dimmed stars like a great sheet of gun metal, Larue and pret ty Babette rowed across it to the fisher man's village, and stole across the sand pit to Garcia and Spinello' s wharf. La bette took a key from behind some tackle and went to Garcia's wooden cage and helped her father pull it to the surface. Larue struck a match. The cage was empty.' "The laxy loon, he's been afraid of the rough water, and come in without a catch," growled he. "We'll try Spinello's cage. 'He's no coward." But Babette hung back. She began to weep. It would be impossible. She did not know where the key was kept. But her father struck her across the mout.'i and bade her go and fetch it. She found the key, but Jules was not rewarded when he drew up the cage. It was empty. Jules Larue was very angry. He strode down to his boat, with Babette trailing in the rear. "Now, you'll go without your dinner to morrow," he snarled. "And my customers will miss their entree." And that entree! I was one of "those who missed it that Sunday, and oh, thu story and how did I know about the ea fight? Whv, my informant was none oth er than Spinello himself. You see. he was almost run down by the pilot boat, and picked up. Oh. yes. naturally, Bab ette deserted her evil old father for lire as a crab fisher's wife; but she can't eat crab cooked by Jules. That is a misfor tune for which life with handsome Spi nello may not compensate. Stella. Wal thall Belcher in the Argonaut. TOPEKA W0NGAME. Saints Defeated Sedalia Easily This Morning.

The report comes from St. Louis that the Jerusalem exhibit, which is made up largely of Kansas men, is greatly embarrassed financially. It is stated that some of the company's bonds came due on September 1 and have not been paid and that the future is not u.ii,f thu fon-ina.nv. W. R. Stubbs is said to have $50,600 of the stock, J. B.

Judge Harrison today denied the motion made by County Attorney Boardman to nolle the ten indictments standing against for mer Mayor A. A. Ames for bribecy and corruption. The court handed down a memorandum in which it was pointed out that Ames had once been convicted, that the reversal of the supreme court was on technical grounds, not affecting the merits of the case, and that on retrial there had been a disagreement of the jury. It does not appear that any of the witnesses have disappeared or that there is any good reason why the evidence should not be submitted to a jury. Lena Will Dismantle. Washington, Sept. 15.

Wall St., New York, Sept. 15 STOCKS The stock market today opened active and strong, with blocks of 1.000 to 4.500 shares of several of the leaders changing hands. Gains ran from to point, the latter figure showing for St. Paul, Chesapeake and Ohio, Kansas and Texas and United States Steel. The opening sales of Erie were 4,500 shares at 32 and 32, compared with 32 last night, and United States Steel preferred opened with running sales of 3.000 shares, at SlhVSWA. compared with 66 last night. Profit taking after the opening was well absorbed for a time, owing to the sustain ing effect produced by further advances in the United States Steel stocks and Penn sylvania. The presence of offerings made inroads on prices later, and some of the opening advances were wiped out. A drop of 24 points in Colorado Fuel and severe pressure against Reading facilitated the decline. Pennsylvania, however, moved up again to 132. New York Central made a sympathetic rise of Hi points. United States Steel preferred rose point and there were also advances of 1 to 1 points by Northwestern. New Jersey Cen tral, Denver and Rio Grande, Toledo, St. Louis and Western preferred, Minneapolis and St. Louis, Railway Steel Spring and Bag preferred. With a rally in the grain markets prices reacted and the general level fell below last night. Some of the grangers and Pa cifies showed losses of a large fraction. The local tractions and smelting stocks lost 1 to 1 points and Union Pacific point. United States Steel preferred lost its rise and other gains were reduced. There had been gains of VA points in Ca nadian Pacific and Sheffield Steel and a point in some minor stocks. Bonds were irregular at noon. St. Louis Live Stock Market. St. Louis. Mo., Sept. 15.

J M.ivor Bergundthal. who is back In Indianapolis visiting his brother, lias run right into another cheap gas flght. which Is raging in Indianapolis between the mayor and the gas com pany. It is almost a parallel or the situation in Topeka. Mayor Holtzman of Indianapolis, wants the gas com pany to reduce the gas rates; the gas company won't do it; an ordinance tias lieen introduced by one Council man Fishback cutting the rate from 90 to 50 cents for fuel gas, and the coun cil does not seem to be very enthu siastic in support of the ordinance. That is the situation in Indianapolis. Evidently the Hoosiers are doing all In their power to make things home like for Mayor Bergundthal. Mayor Bergundthal expects to call on Mayor Holtzman while in Indian apolis, and talk over the troubles which mayors have with gas com panies. The following is the report of the opening round of the Indianapolis gas fight, as reported in the Indianapolis Star for Sept. 13: "Mayor Holtzman's Iong-talked-about 5-cent gas ordinance v; in troduced last night in the city coun cil. It applies to fuel gas only, and leaves the price of lighting gas at its present price, 90 cents per thousand feet. "About the city offices yesterday considerable doubt was expressed about the vigor of the "mayor's war for cheaper fuel gas. By politicians who quoted him without his authority It was said that the mayor did not ex pect to get 50-cent gas for Indianapo lis, but is going to force the gas com pany to renew its present contract with the city before his administration ex pires. "The gas ordinance introduced last night provides: "Fuel gas shall be sold at 50 cents a thousand feet "The company shall put in a separate meter to measure fuel gas on applica tion from any customer. "Councilman Fishback. who intro duced the ordinance for the mayor, did not seem as enthusiastic for 50-cent gas as the father of such a measure might have been. "If the gas company can not furnish gas at that rate.- he said, speaking of the 50-cent provision, 'it can come for ward njid say so, and the price can be adjusted." "The mayor made public yesterday the results of tests -of the city's illum inating gas. which show that instead of furnishing IS candle power gas the company's lights average only 15.3 can dle power. "Tests of the lighting power of gas sold to consumers were made by Wal ter Buehler. assistant city eriginter, from January 4 to March 5. The first test made showed a candle power of only 12.6. That day the newspapers re corded the fact that tesis had begun, nnd the next day the candle power in creased to 17.6. But this did not last long, and the light soon began to fail. "Prof. E. S. Ferry of Purdue universi ty made thirty-one readings, which Showed an average of 13.2 candle power. "The I'nited States census report for J900 contains statistics on the manu facture of g:us in every state. The re port for lndkfna is based upon the gov ernment Investigation of the 39 plants then existing in the state. "These plants in the census vear sold 764.135.8S3 cubic feet of artificial ras. The aggregate cost to manufac ture this gas was $255.M4. The by products were sold for $122,941, leaving the net cost of the gas $132,923. '"This makes the net cost of the man ufacture of gas in Indiana 17 cents a thousand feet. This includes returns from the smallest plants, where the manufacture is most costly. "On gas that cost only $132,923 net, the companies were able in the census year to pay $225,583 interest on bonds and $90,930 on stock, a total dividend disbuisement of $315,513. No record was made of money spent for exten sions or nut away as a surplus. "Cincinnati. O.. Sept. 12. (Spl.) Fuel gas is sold in this city at 50 cents a thousand feet, or bO cents wnere Dills are not paid before the 10th of each month. "Cleveland, O., Sept. 12. (Spl.)

The members of the interparliamentary union, the nation's guests, arrived here from St. Louis shortly after 3 o'clock this morning and after spending five hours in Kansas City sight seeing con tinued their trip westward. The trip from St. Louis was ab solutely without incident. The dele gates had retired early and took breakfast on The train. The temper ature had fallen perceptibly during the night and the delegates felt keenly the cold found here, which marked a rapid change from the warm weather experienced at St. Louis yesterday. The health of the entire party, however, was good. The delegates w-ere met at the sta tion by a committee headed by J. D. Havens, a member of the city council, and driven about the city. One of the points visited was Convention hall. Here the delegates were driven into the building, the line of carriages mak-. ing a circle of the great area. A luncheon at the rooms of the Com mercial club followed. The delegates left for Denver at 1 o'clock in a spe cial train over the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad. Work for 600 Men. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 15. The Soho blast furnace" of the Jones Laughlin Steel company, has been ordered in blast at once.

Won't Throw the Refuse Into the Hirer. Question About Which the City Has Grown Weary. W. L. Osborn wants the city to grant him a franchise to build a new crematory for taking care of the city garbage. He will make application for such a franchise within a short time. There is no new fangled desiccating: plant idea about Mr. Oaborn's propo sition. It is likely that Mr. Osborn has had all the desiccating: plant he wants. His plan now-is to simply build a crematory and burn everything: up. He says he does not care wnetner he is located on the river or not, and that means that he really intends to burn things, and not merely pipe the garbage out into the bosom of the Kaw as has been done in the past. Mr. Osborn is the man who is now handling the city garbage business, but he is doing- it without any fran chise or contract. The city pays ntm $50 a month, and he carries off the dead animals and garbage. The dead animals are burned at the old Thomp son crematory.' The rest of the stuff is piped into the river. This is merely makeshift way of getting- rid of the city refuse, and the board of health, with its accustomed celerity, has per mitted it to continue during- the whole summer in spite of the protests of people living- near the old dump and crematory. No doubt Mr. Osborn has been do ing- the work as well as anyone would, but it is the system which the city ought to change. If Mr. Osborn is willing- to put in the right kind of a system, the city should hasten to enter into a contract with him. Topeka has grown tired waiting- for "desiccating-" plant, and it is ready to welcome a real, good, red-hot cre matory, which will burn everything- up and make an end of the constant com plaint about the garbage problem. At the time the Thompson crematory was working, it caused a terrible stench, nd the council decided that it needed desiccating plant. A comnanv was formed, in which W. L. Osborn was one of the chief "conspirators" for the purpose of building- such a plant. lhe company got a franchise and built its plant on the north bank of the Kansas river about a half mile east of North Topeka. The plan was to convert the dead animals into tal- ow, pulverized bone and fertilizer, and the rest of the garbage into fertilizer. Somehow the plant failed to work. It did not convert the animals and the garbage into anything but a bad odor, and the company was oblisred to do as its predecessors had done pipe the siuil oui into tne river. Then came the flood, aad the remains of the "des iccating" plant were washed away. The company then took up temporary headquarters at the old Thompson cre matory, wnicm tney nave been usine- ever since. Meantime, however, there was a revival of the desiccating plant talk, and at one time it seemed that the construction of a big $40,000 es tablishment on aporoved desinn ould be actually accomnlisheri Tst the scheme fell through because of lack of financial backing, and things were back where they were five vears ago. Now Mr. Osborn savs his ninn to abandon the desiccating plant proposi ng.!, vMimi tusis ioo mucn to establish on a large enough rai fm- Tnr,oi,o and to build a $7,000 crematory instead provided the city council will let him! "I am willing to put in a $7,000 cre matory here, with four furnaces nnd 60-foot brick stack. CflTiahle nf aft. ually burning up everything. All I ask is that the council give me a liberal franchise or contract, at the nresent rates. I am nerfectlv willing t iuto this plant as far from the river as the council desires, so that there will be no possibility of any more piping into the river. "I have Just completed mittfnar In small crematory down at Coffeyville. mere they pay me 50 cents a barrel for handling nightsoil. while Viere u- get only 40 cents. There we have gas 10 cents a thousand for fuel, and we can burn every thins nn nt verv mall expense. I think there is no douht that- the sum of $7,000 could be raised here for the purpose of building a crematory. It is quite a different proposition than raising $40,000 for a desiccating plant. good four furnace crematory wouM burn up all the city garbage and dead animals, and would not make any dis agreeable smell." The city board of health nnd the health and sanitation committee of the council seem to be waiting for each other to do something. If the two bodies could get together and take some action, there might be such a thing as having an effective crematory in operation in Topeka sometime he- fore the hot weather of next summer. It usually takes about that length of time for the city council to bring any thing to pass. Eft Clothing for School Boys We've reduced every price m the following list.

McGovern Defeats Beefoe. Baltimore. Md., Sept. 15. At the end of a fifteen round ght iHughey McGovern of Brooklyn was given the decision ov-?r 'Kid" Beebe of Philadelphia. The fight was a rapid one, but neither man was se verely punished. Beebe, however, was much weaker at the end. although some thought the referee ought to have de clared a draw. The decision was general ly satisfactory. McGovern forced the fight from the start. Beebe's tactics wore to save his head and face and he contin ually defended himself by shielding bis face with his arms and hands. McGov ern Was plainly the better fighter and half a dozen times he forced his man to the ropes. From start to finish neither man was knocked down. What Is Life?
