Ko Longer Content With Eracu atlon of Mauchnrla. TO FIGHT ALL WINTER. The Capture of Vladivostok Is In Contemplation. Decision to Starre Out Port Ar thur Is Reached. Advices from Mukden and an official report to St. Petersburg indicate that the Japanese forces are again on the move. General Kuropatkln's reconnais sances establish the fact that they are massing on his east flank and bodies of Japanese are moving up the Liao l iver valley. St. Petersburg, however, still believes that a serious engage ment is not immediately at hand, but that it will require some weeks for Marshal Oyama to be in shape for an other attack In the meantime the Russians continue to fortify Tie Pass and statements that Kuropatkin will not abandon Mukden are received in St. Petersburg with some scepticism. St. Petersburg expects the Japanese to now redouble their efforts before Port Arthur and another of the fleet is ex pected. Paris. Sept. 16. The Matin today published a long interview with Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister in London, who is quoted as saying: I "Before the war we demanded that Russia recognize China's sovereignty over Manchuria. Today, after our vic tories and expenses, we are no longer content with our former demands. Af ter the fall of Port Arthur, our condi tions will be still more extreme and after taking Vladivostok they will be j et more extreme, r "The next battle will be at Tie Pass. We shall continue hostilities through out the winter. We have given up the plan of taking Port Arthur by assault nd will compel its capitulation by famine. Its fall would free 50,000 men and enable them to reinforce our northern army, but we do not need them just now." Roth Armies Reinforcing. St. Petersburg, Sept. 16. 1:06 p. m. News from the front is exceedingly meager, and the present lull in the operations in Manchuria is expected to continue for several Weeks. Ever since Gen. Kuropatkln's retreat was definitely accomplished, the best in formed military circles were convinced that Field Marshal Oyama could not Immediately renew his aggressive tac tics. All the information since receiv ed regarding the condition ofthe Jap anese armies has strengthened the conviction that Oyama will require considerable time to organize a new advance." and it is believed now that he will probably await a reinforcement of men and guns to make good his loss at Liao Yang. These, it is re ported, will be ready to leave Japan at the end of the month. Moreover, It would create no surprise here if a Japanese diversion is attempted in the direction of Vladivostok, to prepare the way for the renewal of aggressive ness toward Mukden. In the mean time Kuropatkin is also obtaining re inforcements. A large number of guns and some independent troops are on, their way to tne iront. and tne first detachment of the Odessa corps Is expected to be on its way east by train tomorrow. t There Is considerable mystery'about Kuropatkin's plans. Although all the information obtainable indicates that the bulk of his army is still around Mukden, and the official intimations are that Kuropatkin does not contem plate retiring further at present, there is considerable skepticism. About ail that is definitely known is that a con siderable number of his troops have already gone north: that the heights near the Liao river at Tie pass have open lortinen; inai tne pass nas oeen secured, and that cavalry Is scouting wide on the Russian flanks to signal tne first indication or a new turning movement on the part of the Japanese. Only outpost skirmishes of little im portance have been reported. The Japanese are now expected to redouble their enorts before Port Arthur, whence the news received is not encouraging. Jn spite of the suc cess which hitherto has attended the defense, the Russian lir.es are being drawn closer, the garrison is under going severe privations, and its re sisting power is weakening under the strain. A final sortie of the Russian squadron at Port Arthur may be ex !ected at any time. When the com mand of the squadron was turned over to Rear Admiral Wiren he received strict instructions that if the fortress falls not one of the Kussian ships must fall into the hands of the Japanese. Japanese Capture a Fort. Chefoo, Sept. 16. 1:30 p. m. The Japanese troops between September 8 and September 10 captured a fort situ ated on a high hill two miles east of Golden Hill by assault. The fighting was not severe. The Japanese were able to remain in the fort because the quality of the powder used at Golden Hill was so poor that many shells fell short and others failed to explode. The foregoing information was re ceived from an intelligent Chinaman who left Port Arthur on September 12. He had been a dock yard laborer there for many years. He adds that the Japanese are tunneling under the Russian forts with the intention of blowing them up. He says that the work of tunneling is slow and arduous nd will probably be unsuccessful. Zbe Russians have placed mines un- der all the public buildings, wharves, J arsenals and everything that could possibly be of use to the Japanese with the intention of causing their destruc tion should the Japanese enter the city. The house formerly occupied by Viceroy Alexieff was hit by a shell re cently and partially wrecked. Ammunition Is growing scarcer but there is plenty of bread. The price of flour is now nine rubles. Another shell struck a destroyer which was lying in dock undergoing repair, knocking it into kindling wood and killing seven sailors. This shell came from the Japanese fleet which comes in much closer than formerly daily, throwing a few shells. One shell demolished several engines in the dock yards and killed an officer and two men. The fort which the Japanese cap tured Is not regarded as essential to the defense of Port Arthur, although it is obvious there will be some disad vantage from its occupation, as the Japanese are constantly receiving heavy guns from Japan, to which the Kussians are unable to reply effect ively. The Chinese is unable to describe this fort, but the comparatively weak resistance of the Russians suggests it was an outpost. The assault was the only one to take place since August 31.. The five 11-inch guns on Golden Hill which were pointed seaward have been rearranged, three of them now pointing landward. The Chinese alleges that all or tne guns except the 10 and 12-inch have been removed to land batteries from on board the battleships where they were of very little use. Of all of the ships in the harbor. only six are fully able to participate in another fight at present. A month ago the Golden Hill bat teries threatened Shushiyen. Now the Chinese say the shells fall far short of that point. Czar's Message to Kuropatkin. London. Sept. 16. A dispatch dated September 16 to a news agency says the general order issued by General Kuro patkin today the following from Em peror Nicholas to the general was pub lished: "I see from your report that you were unable to hold the fortress of Liao Yang owing to the enemy threatening to cut off your communications. The retreat of the whole army in such dif ficult circumstances and over such ter rible roads was an operation excellently carried out in the face of grave diffi culties. I thank you and your splen did troops for the heroic and continued self-sacrifice. God guard you. (Signed;, "NICHOLAS." Commenting on his majesty's mes sage. General Kuropatkin says it con tains a further expression of lofty be nevolence on the part of the emperor and adds: "I am quite sure that in the work that lies before the Manchurian army every soldier will put forth his best ef forts to achieve victory over the enemy and become worthy of the confidence of the emperor." Kuropatkin ordered the emperor's message to be read to all the troops with solemn ceremony. Chinese Vnfriendly to Russians, j"Mukden, Thursday, Sept. 15. Ac- coraing to lniormauon irom cninese sources the Japanese are leaving a garrison at Liao Yang and their main forces are now moving out on the Rus sian flanks. The whole Chinese popu lation of Liao Yang is working on the Japanese defenses. The Chinese also report that the Japanese are running regular trains between Port Dalny and New Chwang, the rolling stock, according to their statements, having come from San Francisco. Mukden merchants who have dealings with New Chwang say that ir the Japanese occupy Mukden they intend to connect the railroad with the Sin Min Tin terminus of the Shanghai Kwan-Tien Tsin railroad, about thirty-five miles west of Muk den. At night the Russian sentries here can discern the glow of the Jap- anese campfires in the direction of Liao Yang. Until three days ago the Japanese had not finished burying or burning their dead around Liao Yang. The Chinese are becoming more un friendly as the Japanese advance. The Japanese are imposing their systems of administration at every town occu pied, seizing the revenues, beginning with the timber dues in the Yalu dis trict and ending with the salt tax in Manchuria. In Kwantung province, the Japan ese are quite at home. They are al ready installing Japanese teachers in the Chinese schools. At Mukden the chief Chinese offi cial remains outwardly friendly, but he no longer co-operates with the Russians and" the Chinese refuse as sistance to the Russian transport or to furnish them with supplies. Never theless, although animated by un doubted sympathy for the Japanese, the Chinese are not yet confident of an ultimate Japanese victory and thus they seek to avoid an open rupture. The abandonment of Mukden, how ever, might make them throw off the mask and exchange negatively un- rnendly attitude for that of hostility. Message From Port Arthur. St. Petersburg. Sent. 1. A telesrrnm I from Harbin says the following ds- patch has been received from Port Arthur 0ur prison is In good spirits and there is no prospects of provisions fail- in port t a long obstinate defense. "The Japanese are strongly fortifying their positions near the Kinchou isth mus and are entrenching before Port Arthur." Kussians Find Comfort. St. Petersburg, Sept. 16. 3:26 p. m. The Russian military critics, analyz ing General Kuropatkin's extended re port of the battle of Liao Yang, seem to unite in considering that Field Marshal Oyama's purpose having failed, the honors belong rather to Kuropatkin than to the Japanese com mander in chief. The Novoe Vremya draws a parallel between Liao Yang and Borodino, where General Kutu soff's abandonment of Moscow to Na poleon was followed by the disastrous retreat of the French. Japanese Massing Near Ventai. St. Petersburg, Sept. 16. General Kuropatkin' reports that reconnois sances have estblished the fact that the Japnese are massing near Yentai and Bentsiaputze. Bodies of Japanese are also moving in the Liao river valley. Japanese Stick to the Hills. St. Petersburg. Sept. 16. 5:35 p. m. The Associated Press dispatch from Mukden announcing that, according to information from Chinese sources, the Japanese are leaving a garrison at Liao Yang and their main forces are moving out on the Russian flanks, is partially confirmed by the dispatch from General Kuropatkin reporting that the Japanese are massing on the .(Continued on Page Six,) BERLINSKY'S 0. K. Captain of the Russian Trans port Lena at Frisco v Expresses Satisfaction With the Order from Washington. HE SEEMS GLAD OF IT. Will Take Adrantage of the Permission to Disarm. Will Kemain In the Harbor Un til the War Closes. Washington, Sept. 16. Announce ment that Captain Berlinsky, com manding the Russian transport Lena at San Francisco, acquiesced in all the details in the process of the disarma ment prescribed "by this government and would proceed to take advantage of the permission, reached the navy de partment over night in a telegram from Rear Admiral Goodrich, commander-in-chief of the Pacific station. Captain Plllsbury, acting chief of the bureau of navigation, today transmit ted copies of the instructions sent Rear Admiral Goodrich to the secretaries of the departments of the treasury and of commerce and labor. The president issued an order through the acting secretary of state, directing that the Russian armed transport Lena, now at San Francisco, be taken in custody by the naval auth orities of the United States and dis armed. The main features of the con ditions prescribed are that the Lena be taken to the Mare Island navy yard, and there disarmed by removal of small guns, breechlocks of large guns, small arms, ammunition and ordnance mores and such other dismantlement as may be prescribed by the com mandant of the navy yard; that the captain give a written guarantee that the Lena shall not leave San Francisco until peace shall be concluded; that the officers and crew shall be paroled, that they shall not leave San Francisco un til some other arrangement be reached between the United States and both belligerents; after disarmament the vessel may be removed to a private dock for such repairs as may be neces sary to make her seaworthy and pre serve in good condition during her de tention, may be so repaired at the navy yards if the Russian commander should so elect; that while at a private dock the commandant of the navy vard at Mare Island shall have custo- I dy of the ship, and the repairs shall be overseen by an engineer officer to he detailed bv the commandant and that, when so repaired, if peace shall not then have been concluded, the ves sel shall be taken back to the Mate Island navy yard and be there held in custody until the end of the war. This action has been upon the writ ten request of the commander of the Lena, addressed to Rear Admiral Goodrich, setting forth that as the ves sel is incaDable of nutting to sea with out needful rerjairs she must disarm and asking that needful repairs be per mitted after disarmament. The Boston Returns. San Francisco. Sept. 16. The Unit ed States cruiser Boston returned to day from her short cruise outside of this harbor. She is not reported as having sighted any foreign naval ves sels. In speaking or her trip. Admiral Goodrich said: "I deemed it best, in the interest of this government and also of the mer chant marine to send out the Boston. There had been so many conflicting rumors that I felt it was advisable for her to ruise up and down the coast She kept me closely informed of her movements by means of her system of wireless telegraphy. The workings of the machine have been absolutely sat isfactory and this practical test of the system has been of incalculable value. Painting Her Black. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 16. The Russian transport Lena, which reached this port in a weather stained condition, is being painted a brilliant black. Last night, the ward room of ficers of the Lena were given a dinner on board the New York by the ward room officers of the latter, the flag ship's band giving a concert. TO LEAVE OYSTER BAY. President and Family WiU Return to Washington Next Week. r Oyster Bay, L. I., Sept. 16. Ar rangements have been made for the return of the president and his family to Washington. They will leave Oys ter Bay at 11 o'clock on Thursday, the 22d, In a special train. DRILLED JNJH HOURS. Coffeyville WeU Sent to Depth, of 00 Feet in Record Time. Coffeyville, Kan., Sept. 16. The Burg hart No. 6 breaks all previous records in the Coffeyville field for fast drilling. The well was spudded in last Saturday morn ing at 9 o'clock and Wednesday morning the well was completed to a depth of 6j0 feet. About five hours of this time was lost by rain loosening the belt so that the machinery could not be run. The 530 feet was actually drilled in &1 hours. Harry Fruxel was the contractor in charge of the rig. Wells have possibly been drilled down in shorter time in this field, but this breaks all records for this depth. The well was shot within two hours after it was drilled in, which gives it a record of being completed in 9tt hours. The sand in the Burhart was struck at 575 feet, and was 25 feet in thickness. Money Ready for Friar Lands. Malinal, Sept. 16. The civil com mission is prepared to pay the Augus tinia Order of Friars $2,076,000 gold for the lands in the islands held by the order. The native constabulary has been reduced to twelve hundred men. Passengers Shaken Up. New York, Sept. 16. Two train loads of passengers were badly shaken up and four persons received cuts and bruises in a rear end collision on the Fifth avenue line of the Brooklyn Transit today. IMPROVED METHODS Will Greatly Reduce Cost of Work on Isthmian Canal. Washington, Sept. 16. R. M. Arango, a graduate of one of the Ajnerican technical schools, has been appointed consulting engineer on the staff of Chief Engineer Wallace in the Panama canal construction. He is particularly charged to assist In build ing an aqueduct to supply the city of Panama with water, it also is pro posed in the interest of the health of the employes to lay pipe lines to sup ply fresh and pure water to the great force of laborers at tne culebra cut and at other camps along the line of work. Chief Engineer Wallace has been making estimates of the cost of the work he already has done with the result that he feels safe In asserting that the cost of the canal construction can be jrreatly reduced from the French figures through the employ ment of modern high grade American machinery as a substitute for manual labor.

Samson today secured the consent of Trainer Her shey, of Dan Patch, for that famous pacer to" be hitched to his sulky and to jog a mile Saturday afternoon. Dan Patch is improving fast ami this after noon and tonight is to be led in front of the grandstand. Trainer Hershey thinks that the horse will be well enough Saturday afternoon to be hitch ed to his sulky and to jog a mile. M. W. Savage, the owner of Dan Patch, left last night for St. Joseph, being assured that the horse was out of danger. Mr. Savage left instruc tions with Hershey that he should do ail he could to entertain the crowd with Dan Patch and while he can not go a mile against time he will be able Saturday afternoon to I show how he looks in harness on the-move. Since he was taken sick Dan- Patch has not been outside of his private sta ble and no one has been admitted to see him. During the races John Strickrott has taken instantaneousphotographs of all finishes in order that the judges might have a record of all the finishes. Not until the 2:40 trot Thursday afternoon was there any necessity of using the photographs. In the first heat of" the 2:40 trot Silver Star and Axcyell fought it- out In the stretch and right up to the wire. Silver Star came down with a rush and passed Axcyell. E. E. Powell, the owner of Axcyell, was cer tain his horse led under the wire. The judges thought differently and Mr. Powell said he would be satisfied with the photograph of the finish. The plate was developed and a print made and it was shown that Silver Star was a head in the lead of Axcyeil Automobile Races. The automobile races at the state fair tomorrow afternoon will prove a novelty in Toneka. There is consid erable rivalry among the owners and bettine on the three events will proD ably be pretty lively by tonight.

SAM LAPPIK'S TIME Foisted Forged School Bonds on the State. How the Scheme Was Worked in That Day. Whereas, honest administration of the law, faithful guardianship of a pub lie trust, strict economy in the disburse ments of public funds, are the highest official duties and the only assurance of a state's prosperity, a sense of duty to the public which is above and beyond party fealty, imperatively demands that, in every instance, negligent, in competent or dishonest officers shall be dismissed, and their places filled by men who are fit to be relied upon and charged with, the obligations of public positions; men who have proven- by their acts that trust reposed in them will neither be neglected nor betrayed; men who, when placed in nomination for a station of trust and responsibil ity, will not be required to vindicate themselves against charges, either of criminal negligence or actual complic ity in positive fraud upon the state;and. recognizing the lamentable fact that a serious loss has befallen the state school fund of this state by reason of its hav ing been entrusted to the keeping of officials whose partisanship, rather than their competency, honesty and fi delity caused them to be elevated to places of trust and responsibility; and, believing, as we do, that a fund so vast In amount and sacred in its purposes should be under the guardianship of true and trustworthy officials, and feel ing a change in that belialf necessary to the end that said fund may, intact, be preserved and made to accomplish its legitimately glorious objects; there fore be it "Resolved, That we are opposed to the renomination of either the present secretary of state, attorney general of the state, and superintendent of public instruction of the state of Kansas." The foregoing was a resolution passed by a Republican convention in Labette county. You may think it applies to Messrs. Burrow, Dayhoff and Coleman but that's a mistake tor It was passed in August, 187 6. That resolution was the outgrowth of the bond forgeries of Sam Lappin. The school "fund commissioners who are censured in the resolution were not implicated in the forgeries in the least, but they were censured for not looking into the history of bonds more closely before they purchased them, which would have shown them that the Lappin bonds were forgeries. The Sam Lappin incident was an other deliberate attempt to raid the state school fund. Lappin was elected state treasurer in 18 74, and he un doubtedly went into office with the de liberate intention of getting away with all the state funds possible, but he got caught when he had secured less than $18,000. He was arrested, was In jail seven months awaiting .trial, es caped from the jail in Topeka and fled to South America. Then he was a wanderer on the face of the earth for ten years. At length he was captured in Oregon ten years after his crime and was brought back to Kansas for trial, but in the meantime many of the witnesses wno could furnish evl dence against him had died or disap peared, and some of. the documents upon which his conviction rested had been lost, so that it was necessary to nolle the case. After that Lappin wandered about the country an out cast, until about ten years ago, when some friends started him In business in Lenora. He failed there and soon afterwards died. Lappin came to Kansas in 1856. He was a native of Tiffin, Ohio, but be fore he came to Kansas he had been teaching mathematics in Ann Arbor, Mich. With his brother-in-law. Charles G. Scrafford, he started a saw mill at White Cloud, Doniphan coun ty, but a year or two later Lappin went to Nemaha county and founded the town of Seneca, naming it after his old home county in Ohio. Scrafford followed him there and the two went into partnership. Fof a few years the pair ran the politics and much of the business of Nemaha county. They made a great deal of money and at the time of Lappin's nomination for state treasurer in 1874 he was sup posed to be worth between 1100,000 and $200,000. John Francis of Allen county, who is still a well known figure in Kansas politics, was state treasurer in 1874 and up to the time of the convention it was expected that he would be renominated. But during the convention about 25 del egates from southern Kansas bolted, and as they were all friends of Francis their bolt left Lappin with a majority. There was considerable bitterness over Lappin's nomination, but his friends pointed to his success in business and alleged that his wealth would keep him from being tempted to misappropriate any of the state's funds, so that he be came known as "Honest Sam Lappin." You may have heard similar terms since. Lappin was elected and took his office with a great flourish of protecting the state funds from without. The follow ing December the school fund commis sioners discovered that some bonds which were offered them by a man claiming to live in Kansas City were forged. In those days most bonds were purchased by correspondence. They were registered In the county which is sued them and not by the state auditor, so that there was no check on bonds in the state house. During the fall of 1875 the school fund commissioners received a number of letters from St. Joseph parties stating that they had some Kansas schoo district bonds which they would sell if the commissioners were paying enough. At that time the com mission seems to have been paying a uniform price of ninety cents for school district bonds, and this was offered the St. Joseph parties. The bonds were for warded to the commissioners, and as Lappin had told them that he knew of the St. Joseph parties having such bonds, they were purchased without question. The parties who were sup posed to sell these bonds were S. Whit comb, Thomas Manford and Richard Milner. In one or two instances the commission was directed to turn the warrant for the bonds over to Lappin to be forwarded to them. The total amount paid for the bonds was some thing over $17,000. The bonds purported to be on school districts in Mitchell, Jewell, Republio and Osborne counties. In December a letter came from a man supposed to be in Kansas City, offering another block of bonds. The bonds were supposed to have been sign ed at different timesr but the signa tures and ink on them were so much alike that they appeared to have been signed at the same time. An investiga tion led to the discovery that the bonds were forged. The commissioners then went back and investigated their other purchases and discovered more forger ies. Lappin was asked whom he paid the money to on the warrants, but he said he did not know the parties. The commission recommended that Lappin be held for the amount the state had lost. They suspected that he knew something of the forgeries but not that he was the principal in the matter. Pending an investigation of the treas ury Governor Osborn demanded Lap pin's resignation as treasurer, which was promptly given. The governor of fered the vacancy to P. I. Bonebrake, but he refused to take it, and John Francis was sent for to take charge of the treasury. Lanpin. of course, pro tested that he had acted innocently and knew nothing of tne forgeries. The com missioners were blamed for not being more careful, and this led to the reso lution published above. The investigation which followed took several weeks. In the meantime Lappin's partner at Seneca, Scrafford, disappeared. Finally Lappin was ar rested for forgery and embezzlement. and he laid for months in the Shaw nee county jail. The story then came out how the forgeries were accomplished. Scraf ford and Lappin would go to St. Jo seph and put up at a hotel. On one occasion Lappin sent for a bell boy and asked him to write some names for him as his eyes were sore. The boy testified that he wrote one name eight times on a folded paper. An other bell boy testified Scrafford had got him to write a letter about school bonds, Scrafford claiming that he had a sore hand. Lappin's trial was postponed from time to time until in the summer of 1876 he and a number of other pris oners escaped from the old Shawnee county jail. A- man who had been Lappin's guard in the treasury took him in a spring wagon and the pair escaped by traveling by night up into Nebraska, north through Sioux City and Minneapolis to Duluth, where they took a steam down the great lakes and down the St. Lawrence to Quebec, and from there to South America. Scrafford had got there previously by a more direct route. That is the story of the Lappin frauds on the school fund. The next legislature passed the law requiring that school fund bonds be registered with the state auditor before being turned over to the treasurer. Now the treasurer is not supposed to pay for any bonds until they have been registered in the auditor s office, which gives the state auditor a check on the school fund business. BRIDGE COLLAPSED. While a Crow d Stood on It Watching It Burn. Stillwater, Minn., Sept. 16. The half mile bridge across Lake St. Croix ex tending to the Wisconsin side, caught fire and the fire apparatus in respond ing to the alarm was followed by the usual crowd of persons. The fire had so weakened one of the spans of the bridge that when the fire apparatus and the crowd attempted to cross it it fell into the water about 20 feet below. About 20 persons were precipitated with the wreckage into the water, and two were killed and five seriously in jured. The Dead. ADOLPH BOO. aged 22 years; son of a local hotel keeper.

Exciting Features of the Kaces, Not on Programme. The horse show took over 5,000 peo ple to the fair grounds again on Thurs day night. While the equine display did not carry as many features as on Wednesday, it was still a great suc cess, and was given full meed of ap preciation from the crowd. The pro gramme was not so long. Better lighting facilities were instituted and the result was a decided improvement. The Banda Rossa was stationed on a platform right down in front of th grandstand. Everj'thing was better, more satisfactory and a success. There is little of the "braided mane and tail and gilded hoof and fluttering; ribbon!' to the Topeka horse show a. Their simplicity is their real success maker. The crowd feels that it has share in the display, and a say-so In the judging. It applauds its f avoi itcs with a vengeance and shows its ap proval or disapproval of the decisions of the adjudicators. The band added a feature which was decidedly pleasing. Slgnor Sorrentino acted like an American in that regard. He followed almost every number on his programme with an encore, whkta meant that practically throughout the entire time of the evening's show, "there was music In the air." The first event had a novel feature to it. It was for the best combination horse, driver and saddler. J. W. Bell's General Arbuckle, a 50 to 1 favorite with a Topeka crowd drew the blue ribbon. Salthouse and Norris' Art is got the red one, while Romeo, owned by the latter firm also took third. Henry W. McAfee's Kansas King wus entered, but did not appear. The hors-s weie first driven to road wagons about the ring, then unhitched In front of the grandstand and saddled. Then tlvey were then ridden to different gaits. The "Pony Turnout" for boys and girls under 15 years of age was popu lar. Mrs. Charles W. Kohl took the first price, Mildred Poindexter the sec ond, Chappell Foote, Jr., the third and Milton Moeser the fourth. "Girl riders" had a double turn. First they were called- to exhibit their horses, and then to show their ability as riders. For the best ladies' saddle horse, Hazel Mulvane s Artis took tne first honors. Miss Gertrude McClln- tnck's Oueen the second ribbon, ana Lillian Stephenson's Daisy the third honors. As riders Annabel! Garvey was first, Lillian Stephenson second, Clara Meyer third and Gertrude Mc Clintock fourth. The other entries In these events were Mildred Poindexter's "Dick," and Lon Townsend s cracK Shetlands, Billie and Jack, ridden by, two little girls. There were but two entries for the best ladies' driving horse. Mrs. -F W. Norris drove Dr. Pickard, a beauti ful bay. Probably not a finer horse than Pickard has been seen in Topeka for many a day. His points were al most faultless and his gaits perfect. Miss Mulvane drove Onalkey, a beau tiful chestnut sorrel. This animal dis played more fire, than Pickard, but seemed harder gto handle. The ap pointments in both entries were su perb. The crowd was fickle with its applause, giving both of the animals a full volley as they swung before the stand in turn. But the judgment that Pickard should get the blue ribbon, satisfied the onlookers, and the big; bay swept away with the ribbon under a battery of huzzas. The display of registered stallions, under 3 years of age, shown in har ness was also one of the big features. Robert Lee's "Baron," however, took the honor as on the night before. The big handsome bay, with his flashy form and spirited action, got a place in the hearts of the Judges and the onlookers alike. Charles Samson's Pope and his Lord Direction got the second and third honors, as in the harnessed stallion class. Captain T. F. Edwards of Tecumseh took fourth, honors. Crouch and Son of Indianapolis gave a display of the World's fair prize winners for German coach horses.

There is not a unanimity of opinion among horsemen regarding John A. Drake's statement to the effect that to be successful In racing one must be either a very rich man, able to give his whole time to the absorbing pursuit, or else a profession al horseman. Many instances were piven of men who were neither, yet who went on, year after year, carrying medium sized ttables, and, while en Joying the sport themselves, furnished entertainment to the public I "It all depends on whether one. Is .a heavy or persistent better, said one man. "whether, "you-. van really enjoy the sport. There" is no more wearing game on a man's temper than to be a better in every race or to a large amount on most races. Messrs. F. R. and Morris Hitchcock carry, on racing year in and year out; and they are not professional horsemen. Neither is Jaa.

Japanese Are Preparing for Perma nent Stay in Korea. New York, Sept. 16. The Japanese minister has recommended, says a Herald despatch from Seoul, Korea, that his government immediately un dertake the construction of a railway from Seoul to Gensan under military engineers as a war measure. The Japanese hold no concession for this line but under the terms of the Japanese-Korean protocol, signed in Feb ruary of this year, they can claim the right for strategic purposes. The railway, once laid, may later be operated as a commercial "venture, greatly assisting in the development and colonization plans for the Korean Peninsula. The construction of the railroad con necting Fusan with Mansampo was' commenced a week ago under Japan ese military engineers. For the last week parties of Korean officials have been pursuing the ancient customs of kneeling before the palace gates, pray ing the acceptance of a memorial to the throne petitioning tne emperor to adopt a strong anti-Japanese policy.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1904. 3 RAILRQADNEWS. Interesting Early History of Ticket Scalping. Bailroads Hare Now Almost Suppressed the Business. ARE SE3T TO PRISON. Hanj Dishonest Scalp'era Are Now Doing Time. The Kail roads Nerer Cease to Wage Itelentless War. Ticket "scalping," or the buying and elling of railroad transportation by middlemen, seems doomed to extinc tion. Only ten years ago "scalpers" handled a large percentage of the rail road tickets used on some roads a large majority. All the railways sup plied "scalpers" with tickets at a much cheaper rate than was asked in the ticket offices of the companies. In fact. eome railroads established "scalping" offices at all the large cities along their lines, paying fixed salaries to the men la charge of the offices. The rule, though, was either to sell the "scalpers" blocks of tickets at re duced rates or to pay them a commis sion on every ticket sold. The keener the competition between the roads the higher was the commission allowed the "scalper." At times it amounted to half the regular price of the ticket. but usually it was about 20 per cent. The big profits of the "scalpers,' who were really the agents of th railroads, attracted a class of men who, to secure still greater profits, did not hesitate to buy and sell passes, tc forge and alter tickets, counterfeit them outright, or issue them in the name of a mythical road. Every big city had men known as "fixers," be cause of their superior ability to alter or forge tickets, and these men un scrupulous "scalpeis" kept employ ed at high wages. The alteration and forgery of tickets became so common and caused such immense loss of revenue to the rail roads that the higher officials deter mined to suppress all scalping offices Thousands of dollars were spent in un successful efforts to have congress en act as anti-scalping law similar to those of Canada and Mexico. Agree ments were made by the passenger officials not to deal with brokers, but the agreements were never binding. About three years ago Commissioner Xonald of the Central Passenger as sociation conceived the idea of em ploying against dishonest "scalpers' the methods of the American Bankers' association in dealing with forgers and burglars. The Railway Ticket Protec tive bureau was organized, all the rail roads in the United States and Canada becoming members. Detectives were employed to keep constant watch of "scalpers" everywhere. As a result, ticket forgers have been sent to prison from Chicago. Buffalo, Pittsburg, In dianapolis. Atlanta, Kashville. St. Louis, Kansas City, and other places, while scores of "scalpers" have quit business, some voluntarily, others to escape prosecution. Even more effective is the plan- of the Railway Ticket Protective bureau to secure from the courts injunctions restraining the "scalpers" from buying or selling any kind of nontransferable or reduced rate transportation issue! by the railroads. Such injunctions have already been issued by federal and state courts in more than a score of cities, and the bureau proposes to pursue this plan until similar injunc tions are in effect in every place in the United States where there are ticket "scalpers." These injunctions will be the death warrants of ticket scalping, as the only rrofits in the business now are de rived from nontransferable transporta tion and tickets issued at reduced rates by the railroads on account of fairs, conventions. excursions. and other special events. Chicago Inter-Ocean. HOUSE REPORTS. Makes Annual Statement to Directors or Katy System. In his annual report to the stock holders cf the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, II. C. House, president, says: "During the last four years, in ad dition to the new lines built, 924 miles of track have been relaid with heavier tails. 150 mi!es of side track built, 666 miles ot road ballasted, 134 miles of embankment made standard width, thirty-four steel bridges built, the work of fencing the lines completed, and the total car equipment increased from 10,193 to 14,300 and locomotives from 264 to 420. "The Texas and Oklahoma railroad Js built in a most thorough and sub stantial manner throughout with steel bridges and masonry in all the im portant water ways. The entire line is fenced and the construction is up to the latest standard of railroad build ing with maximum grades of 0.7 to 1 per cent going north against the heavy coal traffic originating at its southern teminus. where extensive coal fields are controlled by the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas railway. "It is well within the cotton zone. r All mantles are not WELSBACHS This Shield is ihe Trade Mark ofconomy and b one b0 GENUINE WELSBACH MANTLES PRICES 15.20. 25. 30. 33 DEALERS- Y: 4 t!' i. fT It WEISBACM j) Grain and live stock are also its nat ural products and great quantities of railway tie timber exist along its line; but the lack of local timber for build ing purposes affords market for the Texas lumber districts on the line of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas sys tem. "In the near future Oklahoma and the Indian territory will be admitted Into the Union as one state. Rapid, constant and ever-increasing develop ment will follow. From the start this new state will take high rank, com bining agricultural, mineral and com mercial resources of vast value. No where within its domain is there a field for greater development than along the Texas and Oklahoma line extending from the coal fields in the Choctaw nation through the Chicka saw and Seminole nations to Oklahoma City, the commercial center of the present Territory of Oklahoma." TRAFFIC OFFICIALS MEET. Rate Cutting Diwussed and Agreement to Pool Interests Renewed. The highest traffic officials of West ern railroads met in Chicago yester day for a general discussion of freight problems. During the past three months there has been a general ten dency to make small concessions in rates In order to secure special ship ments. The only big cut was by the Harrlman lines, to enable the "steel trust" to invade the territory of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. The smaller concessions did not cause much difference in revenue, but in the aggregate they made a difference of many thousands of dollars. the spring decline in traffic made every railway official anxious to get an tne competitive business Dossible in order to avoid a comparative loss in earnings. It seems strange, but it is true, that when the roads are con gested rates are strictlv maintained but when traffic decreases rate cutting Degins, causing a double loss. At their meeting yesterday the ex- ecutive officers agreed there was no longer reason for apprehension of a aecrease In the general volume of busi ness, and therefore there is no neces sity for rate cutting. It was also agreed that hereafter no cnanges in rates shall be made without giving to the freight associa tion the same notice, for the benefit of all members, as is given to the in terstate commerce commission. The executive officers also propose to meet regularly once a month here after, to consider the general situation. This plan was adopted about a year ago. for several months the highest officials in the traffic departments of tne railways presidents, vice presi dents, and directors met. Then gradually the higher officials absented themselves, until recently the alleged "executive officers' meetings" were attended by chief clerks and rate clerks. As a result of yesterday's delibera tions the freight officials will meet and take the necessary steps to Insure uniform rates. The only important exception will be the east bound rates on wire and nails from Colorado com mon points. The Gould lines will con tinue indefinitely the low rates made to offset the west bound prices made by the Harriman lines, and which were withdrawn Sept. 10. REACH PACIFIC COAST. Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul to Build Extension. Sioux City, la., Sept. 16. That the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul rail road will build Pacific coast exten sion has at last been admitted by a high official of that company, who fur ther reveals the fact that the line will be built from Chamberlain, S. D., to Seattle and Portland. In fact, the only complete survey made by that railroad runs from Chamberlain. Re ports that a line has been surveyed from Evarts, S. D, are erroneous. Mil waukee St. Paul engineers went over the country from Evarts for a provisional report, but no line was run from that point, the project appearing comparatively impractical. The report the past week that John T. Woodward, president of the Han over National bank of New York, a Hanover rrrr-iitution, had taken deeds to Seattle. Tacoma and Portland ter minal properties, presumably for the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul rail road, was the occasion of admission of this company's plans for a coast line. The Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul official referred to. whose position gives him access to construction plans. when asked concerning tnis report. stated very frankly that Mr. Woodward held such deeds, as this was a matter of record, but added that no one, ex cept the chairman of the board of di rectors of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, was authorized to state its interest in the matter. The official did say, however, that it is the purpose of the road to build a coast line. When asked when such extension might be looked for he said the building would be completed in a shorter time than the road had taken in making surveys through Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Washington. Asked how long these surveys had been going on the official said for mora than five years. Concerning the terminus from which the extension would start, he said there were but two points on the Mis souri river from which the line could be built one at Chamberlain, S. Dak., and the other at Evarts, S. Dak. Concerning a choice between these two termini the official said: "That would be giving information, that we do not care to disclose at this time." "But." he continued, turning to a map, "any one looking at the em pire untouched by any railroad that would be cut by a line from Chamber lain through to the northwest ought to have imagination enough to make a good guess as to the best field for a railroad line." It was further stated that definite Information might be given out after the meeting of the board of directors in New York this month. Says Railways In Iowa Are Fair. In Its annual report the railway commission of Iowa says: "While the work of the commission has Increased we are pleased to say it is not due either to a desire on the part of citi zens of the state for unnecessary con tention or on the part of the railway companies, in the main, to evade the duty they owe the public The com missioners take satisfaction in the con ditions as they are at the present time, as they have always endeavored to adjust differences coming before them without recourse to formal or ders or litigation. There has been no litigation upon matters of railway con trol in Iowa for several years. There seems to be now an era of better un derstanding between the people and the railways."

Runaway Girls Are Home. Minnie Berrie and Clara Young, the two girls who ran away from their homes in this city, last Sunday night, have returned and one of them, Miss Berrie, at least, is convinced that there are worse places than home.

The Democrats are said to have made a vigorous campaign in Maine. The result shows what that kind of work w ill do. They not only made big (rains, but seem to have made them from the opposition. The Indianapolis Sentinel points out that both Fairbanks and Beveridge voted for the ship subsidy bill. Perhaps that suits the people of Indiana. At any rate both gentlemen are still mem bers of the U. S. senate. Washington Post The government Is going to deport 3.V) gypsies who re cently arrived in New York. Messrs.

In this respect he has no advantage over Mr. Fairbanks. Watson will do editor ial work for Hearst and the Republican candidate for vice president will still be a "V. S. senator after the election. A writer in the Chicago Record Herald says that one of the most re markable facts bearing on the develop ment of the southwest is the rapidity with which the Panhandle of Texas and the Pecos Valley of New Mexico are being colonized and the method employ ed in the work. This is largely due to the enterprise of the railway systems exploiting that region, which make the work of colonization as much a part of their business as the transportation of products served by their lines. As they conduct it. this is not only a legitimate business but one of service to the people whom they take there as home-seekers and settlers and to the country. These classes are not at the mercy of the land agents. They do not buy a "pig in a bag." but are taken by the railroads and shown the goods, and in the great majority of cases the present year this has been sufficient to cause them to remain ana Decome enthusiastic over these new openings. learning- to suck eggs and save the shell for the other fellow.

Stubbs, the Renuhliean chairman. Stubbs is not cut out of the same piece of goods. Onomatopoeia tells us that while Sapp must be a very still ana sumie sort of Democrat. Stubbs is a bluff, out spoken, sturdy, and uncompromising Reoublican anything but a gum-shoer. "I believe," says Chairman Stubbs. in discussing his plan of campaign, "that in politics the cards should be dealt above the table. I mean the public should have a 'look in' for its money and should know as much as possible what is going on in headquarters. I be lieve that every man who is going to vote for Roosevelt and our candidate for governor should come out squarely and say so. and that he should have no timiditv about it.

A Chanute party attended an old settlers meeting last week in an auto. The Smith Center "central girl" has re signed her telephone job. Her hardest work now Is to avoid saying "hello" to everyone she meets. A battle In the Pittsburg cemetery be tween two tombstone agents enlivened the city of the dead for a dozen minutes or so the other day. A mild complaint comes from Abilene hat the practice of picketing cows in the streets has become too common for safe ty of life and limb. A printer blew in to the Atwood Citi zen the other day and put up a column or two in good shape, it was the iirst ype he had set in 30 years.

There's harmony in the First district. certain newspapers declare. Hut there's another word beginning with "h'' which is more applicable to the situation. It was at McPherson that the conduc tor held the train ten minutes to bounce an overloaded citizen. Too manv high balls frequently cause good men to get all balled up.

What tnesc Business men should do is to wind up patronizing out-of-town folks. The September crop report, which is rractically the department of agricul ture's roundup of the harvest of 1001, estimates the total yield of wheat, winter and spring, at 53!.09O,00O bushels. This is considerably less than last year s harvest, which was 637,821. S33 bushels: but the land devoted to wheat was 5.240.68T acres less than last year, and the reward to the agriculturist will be even greater than last-season, ow ing to the largely increased price. This year's "poor harvest" of wheat, indeed has been exceeded in volume only five times in the country's history. It is better than the average crop for the last ten years. Meanwhile all the oth er leading crops are fairly entitled to be called bumpers. The yield of corn has been surpassed only once, and that by the bumper year 1902, and only nar rowly then. The Indicated yield this year is 2,491.303.000 bushels, against last year's 2,244.176.625. Oats, another very Important crop, also beats last year and the record. The same is true as to barley.. It is a good harvest, and will contribute Its quota to the mainten ance of the country's prosperity, which Is today menaced only by influences quite outside of the element of the earth's bounty. THE KANSAS CAMPAIGN. Under the caption "Sapp and Stubbs" the New Tork Sun discusses the polit ical campaign in Kansas as follows: With a Republican plurality of 42,094 to overcome, and not a stiver in the campaign chest. Democratic State Chairman Sapp, of Kansas, faces his sea of troubles with the resilient hope of Micawber and the unclouded cheer fulness of Mark Tapley. Mr. Sapp draws his inspiration from Col. Bill Phelps, of Missouri, the founder of the gum-shoe school of politics. Sapp and Phelps are on the same telephone cir cuit and the same line of electric cars, although they live in different states. Col. Bill Phelps is the lobbyist who faded out of Missouri when Circuit At torney Folk made himself so disagree able "to the Democratic machine by probing legislative corruption at Jeffer son City. The colonel did not return from the wilderness until things had cvdeted down. Phelps was a gum-shoer v&aa Seaatai 3g11iia.n1 Joel Stone was GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. In making preparations for marriac". more importance should be attached m accumulating patience. Speaking of rare things: There's the home in which it makes much difference what the father wears. Somehow, every man thinks that the vows made at the altar are more binding 'j i 'i, in ,i i ii.iu on a. man. Another argument in favor of having large families: It is possible to dispose oi watermelon at one meal.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. I From the New York Press. After a man gets married he seems to bo afraid of no danger on earth. When a woman changes a ten dollar bill into small coin she feels a good deal richer. It is better to be wrong and have your wife agree with you than to be right nnd try to convince her. When a man has been out late the night before the contribution plate is a painful reminder of the big jackpot he chipped into and lost. A woman can look almost as scornful at the man who doesn t cive her his seat In a street car as she can ungrateful to the one who does. to POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Lucky men always say it is due pluck. Little men in big places are a public nuisance. A bird in the bush beats two in the hand for singing. The Almighty puts long tails on horses anu man cuts tnem orr. Fits of abstraction are of frequent oc currence among pickpockets. Children who say smart things soon grow up and are lost in the shuffle. No, Cordelia, a reporter isn't necessarily man wno originates reports. A bachelor often lives to marry the aaugnter ot tne woman wno turned him down. IJghtning recently struck an Ohio man ana cured him or rheumatism so his widow says. When it comes to calllnar oeonle from their beds the tire bell doubly discounts me cnurcn oeu. Horses mav become extinct, but the donkey will remain with us until society iias ueasea to oe.

Matches that are made in heaven have noinmg to oo with the misht alliances be- tween poverty-stricken foreienern and siiiy American neiresses. '2Mpvc II Ql'AKEK REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The dog shark's bite is worse than :t oaric fc,very speculation Is a ennrt thins-rnr somebody. A heated argument naturally generates lot of hot air. The smallest ideas are often cTntVieA in me largest woras. A woman is like a salad. So much e- penus upon the dressing. Marriage mav be a failure without tn-rn. ing a man to bankruptcy. Misery loves company, but the company The average man's hair will crow thin without resorting to anti-fat. The fellow who agrees with everybody iihs no opinions oi nis own. Lots of oeortle are too nrmid to bee- ton honest to steal and too lazy to go to work. Virtue is its own reward. The fatted calf would gladly change places with the prodigal son.

Sarah Deleno, aged 43 years, died at the Santa Fe hospital on Thursday of tuberculosis. The body was shipped to Virgil, Kan., for interment this afternoon. Mrs. Haskell, Worthy Vice- Templar, Independent Order Good Templars, of Silver Lake, Mass., tells of her cure by the use of Lydia E. Pickham's Vege table Compound. Dkab Mas. PnrKHAit Four years ago I was nearly dead with inflamma tion and ulceration. I endured daily untold ag-ony, and life was a burden to me. I had used medicines and washes internally and externally until I made up my mind that there was so relief for me. Calling- at the home of a friend, I noticed a bottle of L,ydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com pound. My friend endorsed it highly, and I decided to five it a trial to see if it would help me. It took patience and perseverence for I was in bad con dition, and I used Lydia E. Plnk bam's Vegetable Compound for nearly five months before X was cured, but what a change, from despair to happiness, from misery to the delight ful exhilarating feeling health always brings. I would not change back for a thousand dollars, and your Vegetable Compound is a grand medicine. "I wish every sick woman would try it and be convinced." Mas. Ida Haskell, Silver Lake, Mass.

JANITORS ARE WRATHY. Negroes at State House Are Real Art' gry at Kelly. The state house janitors are at outs with State Treasurer Kelly and his man Friday, Captain J. C. Collins, cus todian of the state house. The result may possibly be a cha'nge in the "janl tonai rorce of the state house. A number of the janitors have not got along well with Captain Collins for some time. Walter Evans, a Hutch lnson colored man who is employed as janitor in Superintendent Dayhoff's umce, mentioned the fact to Mr. Kelly two or three days ago. Evans claims Keny said "the d niggers ought all to be out working in a ditch." He reported the remark to some of the other janitors and general indig nation followed. Some of Mr. Kelly's friends say that Kelly referred only l" janitors wno would not obey iu vuBioaian, but some or the jam tors contend that Kelly is given to t j such remarks about them. I don't make any bones about tell ing what I think said Evans in speak inB J2? tbe matter. "I just won't vote xor xom JVellv and there's a lnt f the Other Janitors won't either The,.e', 1 of us Janitors and most all of us will sLaim together."

She Assumes the Burden of Proof in Seizure Cases. St Petersburg .Sept. 16. 7:26 n. m Russia has given her answer to the American and British notes on the subject of contraband of war. Her answer was communicated to Ambas sador Hardlnge this afternoon, verbal ly by Foreign Minister Lamsdorn. and bears out the predictions made on the subject by the Associated Press. The ambassador was informed in effect that according to the decision of the commission which has investigated the subject, the government has agreed to view as of a conditionally contraband character foodstuffs and fuel and that supplementary instructions should be issued to the Russian naval command' ers and prize courts, calling their at tention to the misrepresentation which had been placed upon the trlze regu lations. These instructions, Sir Charles Hardinge was informed, make a clear aisunction between the articles enumerated in article six in Russian prize regulations which are susceptible or auai use. like fuel and foodstuffs. the assumption being that if thev are Haaressea 10 private parties or firms n an enemy's .port, they are not in tended for warlike uses; but the inno cent character may be subject to sus picion if the ship's papers and the cir cumstances are irregular. In effect the new instructions will place the burden of proof that the foodstuffs. etc., are designed for belligerent pur poses upon tneir captors. The new instructions will involve a reversal of the judgment of the Vlad ivostok prize court by the admiralty court in the case of the provisions con fiscated. Foreign Minister Lamsdorff has re ceived from Ambassador McCormiek a supplementary note further applying the views of the united States on the general subject of contraband of war and the principles involved in the con fiscation of those portions of the car goes of the steamers Arabia and Calchas bound for Japanese ports.

Senator Dcpew Replies to His Tam many Hall Speech. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 16. When Senator Depew took the platform to nominate for secretary of state John F. O'Brien at the state convention, he took occasion to reply to the speech of Representative W. Bourke Cockran at Tammany hall, and devoted some min utes to its arguments. He declared that Mr. Cockran would undoubtedly be the attorney general of the United States in the event of Judge Parker's election. He said he had heard Mr. Cockran. whom he characterized as the greatest orator of the Democratic par ty, on the floor or tne nouse 01 repre sentatives defena uee trade and de nounce protection or every man ana nature. He said Mr. Cockran evidently had been able to find in President Roose velt's actions and letter of acceptance but two points to sustain the charge of unconstitutional action made against him by the Democrats. One was his pension oraer making age above 62 years in itself a disability, the other his action in connection with the Panama canal treaty. 'In one case, said Senator De- Dew, "the President reaucea Dy tnree years the disability age limit fixed at 6 5 vears Dy tresiaent Lievemna; in the other he secured a Panama canal treaty ratified by every Democratic senator. "If the ablest Democratic orator can find only these two points of attack in the record and letter of Mr. Roose velt, surely they have no case against him." The Conventional Hoodoo.

Mills' Store News CONCERNING "The Munsing Underwear" It is only about fifteen yearssince a few men associated themselves together to manufacture knit underwear at Minneapolis, Minn., under the corpo rate name of "The Northwestern Knitting Co." These men thoroughly understood their business, and attended personally to all the details of the manu facture and sale of their product. They chose for their motto, "Satisfactory underwear at popular prices." In all the stages of the growth of this com pany this has been their constant aim. How nearly this has been reached let this fact testify: There has not a year passed since the first when they could not have sold more Munsing underwear than they made. Today the Munsing underwear is made in one of the largest and best equipped mills in the United States, with every facility which all these years of experi ence can suggest or ample capital supply at the com mand of trained manufacturing experts. The un usual values given in this underwear come from sys tem and organization used in the operation of the latest labor-saving machinery. Absolute neatness and cleanliness characterize every process of produc tion. The popularity of Munsing underwear is shown by the fact that its sale has increased over 500 per cent, in five" years. It merits your patronage. We are Topeka agents. A description of the different styles we carry in stock with the prices are given here. The Munsing Boys' Union Suits cost no more than vests and pants, and are much more comfor table and satisfac tory. They are "just what every active boy, who likes freedom of motion, ought to have. They are easy to put on, and always stay in place. They are made in two styles, either with or with out drop seat, and may be had in eight different qual ities in light, medium and heavy weight fabrics, in sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, at prices ranging from 75c to $1.50 per garment. The Munsing Ladies' Combi nation Suits, are made in three styles, as illustrated (open all the way down the front, open half way down the front, and open across the bust), in light, medium and heavy weight fabrics, in sizes 3, 4, 5 and 6, and at prices ranging from $1 to $2.50 per garment, ac cording to quality. Suits made to retail for $1 per garment are shaped and finished with the same care as the higher priced garments. The best foun dation for tasteful and stylish dress is a suit of t i i i r penect ntting underwear. mi Munsing The Munsing Misses' Vests and Pants are shaped and finished with the same atten tion to detail c h aracterizing all other Mun sing under wear. They fit well, wear well, and are perfectly satisfactory to those who do not like the combina tion garments. They are made in sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, in five different fabrics, and at prices rang ing from 50 cents to $1.25 per garment, according to quality. The Munsing Misses' Combi nation Suits give a maxi mum of com fort at a mini mum of ex pense. They are made in sizes 1 to 7, for children from 3 to 14 years of age, in eight different qualities in light, medium and heavy weight fabrics, and at prices ranging from 75c to $2.50 per garment.

THE TOPEKA" STATE JOURNAU, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1904. 5 I Ik Prico's CREAM along Pordor FOR FIFTY YEARS, A FAVORITE Always makes the perfect biscuit, cake and bread. Price Baking Powder Ca. CHIOAttO, MR. ROBISOX EXPLAINS. Tells Why He Is Supporting Republi can Commissioners. "Mr. Robison Balks." Cnder this caption an. article appears in the To peka Journal and among other state ments appears the following: "The fusionists claim they understood Robi son would stand by the nominees pro posed by the commercial interests, if the wishes of the federation were fol lowed by the fusion convention." I am a Republican and always have been. The action of the fusion convention in indorsing my candidacy for rail road commissioner came as a surprise to me, as I had not heard of any such intention and had never been ap proached by any person in any man ner as to what my attitude would be in the event I was so indorsed. Mr. "Walker, Mr. Wheatley and my self were nominated by the Republi can convention at Wichita, on the first ballot. As a matter of good politics it is my duty to support the nominees of this convention, whose suffrage I sought and obtained. I have carefully studied the present Kansas railroad law and I have ex amined and studied the work under the law by Commissioners Walker and Wheatley, from their published report and records. I have been before them in matters of interest to the live stock industry of the state and in no case with which I am familiar have I seen the least evidence of desire on the part of these commissioners to unduly favor the railroad companies as against any shipper or shippers' interest. The general charge has been made against Mr. Walker that he is friendly to the railroads, yet no charge is made that he has been unjust to any com plaining party and no case cited in which it is alleged he has in any rul ing or decision been unduly partial cr friendly to any railroad company. I have heard numerous parties com pliment Mr. Walker for his uniform courtesy to parties seeking informa tion from his office, for his fairness in the admission of testimony and his ability in rendering decisions, and that if In error it was m leaning toward the complainant rather than the railroad companies. So I want it clearly understood that I am for the election of Mr. Walker and Mr. Wheatley, not only for politi cal reasons, but baue I regard them as capable and fair men and good rail road commissioners. The statement in the article referred to that I am -actively fighting Fergu son and Chase" is Incorrect. I have not made a derogatory remark in re gard to either of the gentlemen named. Mr. Ferguson is an old acquaintance and personal friend -whom 1 esteem very highly as a business man and gentleman. As to Mr. Chase. I have no doubt of his qualifications, or his rarty friends would not have placed him on the ticket. J. XV. ROBISON. POLITICAL GOSSIP Who TTIli Succeed Senator J. II. Burton t This Question Is Kcceiring Con siderable Attention Mow. WILL BAILEY TRY IT. His Name and That of J. L. Bristow Mentioned. Mr. Burton's Friends May Also Take a Hand. The announcement comes from Wash ington that Senator Burton's case In the United States supreme court may be heard next month, and if so a decis ion can be looked for in December, which would be shortly before the legislature meets. This is not absolutely certain. however, as the case might go over till spring. While Burton and his supporters con tinue to maintain that the United States supreme court will not affirm his conviction but will give him a new trial. the fact remains that the old Burton crowd is figuring on the .election of a successor to Burton by the coming' leg islature. An attempt has been made to stir up strife between the friends of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow and Governor Bailey by starting a story that Governor Bailey is actively in tne race for the senatorship. If Governor Bailey has ever intimated that he in tends to run for senator he has been very quiet about it. On the other hand. Mr. Bristow has never announced any candidacy on his Dart, although it is quite probable that he will be a candi date if a vacancy occurs and tnere is a show for his election. On the other hand it is a recognized fact that Congressman Curtis is look ing forward to succeeding Senator Bur ton and shaping his plans to that end. There is also a rumor that others of the leaders of the Burton faction may enter the contest. A northern Kansas man said today that the name of M. A. Low is being considered in some of the Rock Island counties. Then. too. Congressman Phil Camp bell has a well-developed senatorial boom, and Charles F. Scott, congress- man-at-iarge, has considerable support. At anv rate the selection or KepuDU- can candidates for the legislature is be ing closely watched by all factions in the Republican party. The death of Seneca Heath, Repub lican candidate for state senator in the Atchison-Jackson district, opens the way for another Curtis and anti-Curtis fight over there. If another convention is called to fill the vacancy it will have to be held by September 9, as the law requires that nominations by conven tions be certified to the secretary of stale at least 40 days before election. it may be thr.t the senatorial commit tee will fill the vacancy itself. James M. Chisham. who is Mr. Curtis mana ger in Atchison county, believes the committee should name the nominee, ou the ground that there is not time for a convention. The names of Dr. I N. Plummer and Webb Allison of Muscotah, and W. T. F. Donald, F. G. Crowell and Shef field Ir.galls of Atchison are mentioned in connection with the vacancy. Dr. G. H. T. Johnson of Atchison thinks no nominee should be put up against B. P. Waggener. the Democratic nomi nee, but that Mr. Waggener ought to be given a unanimous election in rec ognition of his services as a public spirited citizen in developing the coal mine at Atchison, but tne politicians would not allow such a thing as that. The death of Mr. Heath came as a great shock to the people of Atchison county, where he has lived for manj years. He spoke at a picnic at Elfing- ham last Saturday and was scheduled The Toppy Hat of the Season Shown only by B) 0 Exclusive sellers o! lamovs "Benjamin' Clothing.

Atchison Globe: The Comanche county bonds over which there is at present so much excitement, were fraudulently issued in 1873. The original amount was $40,000, but this has been increased bv interest until the debt is now $123,000. The Topeka Journal says an official record to this effect is on file In the state house, and that the three school fund commis sioners who purchased the bonds, ought to be familiar with it. According to this record, Comanche county was organized for the purpose of issuing fraudulent bonds. A man named Dunlap, formerly of Doniphan county, was In the scheme. On the organization of the county, a man named Cox, a doctor, was elected county attorney, although he had nev er looked into a law book. An old directory of St. Joe was used to find 240 names, and it was claimed that these names represented actual set tlers. As a matter of fact, there were onlv two actual settlers in the county at the time. After the sale of the fraudulent bonds. Dunlap and his con spirators left Comanche county, and ...An4- hnrk. For several vears after the bonds were issued and sold, i j 1 rri.a the countv was enureiy ucacucu. xuc present inhabitants of Comanche coun ty number 1,600.

"I had a claim adjoining the town site of Hutchinson," said Mr. Horner todav, "and one of the men engaged In the organization of Comanche county jumped it. I remem ber hearing a racket during the night and the next morning there were three wagons Btarted out from Hutchinson, carrying some of the Reno county officers and others. Hutchinson was the headquarters for the fellows who engaged in the fraud ulent organization of both Comanche and Barber counties. They claimed thye were going on a buffalo hunt, but when they got home some time later it was reported that they had been or ganizing Comanche county.

Democrat Campaign in Colorado 14 Given a Start. Denver, Sept. 16. William J. Bryan opened the Democratic campaign in Colorado with a speech at Coliseum hall. By far the largest crowd assem bled thus far during the campaign turned out to hear the distinguished Nebraskan and many hundreds wt unable to get inside the densely packed hall. Mr. Bryan dwelt at length upon what he termed the policy of militar ism of the Republican party which was not influenced alone by imperialism, but that the strengthening of the army was as much for the purpose of aiding capital in enforcing its demands against labor as anything else. Hs criticised Roosevelt as a dangerous man because of his love of power and war-like demonstration and unsuitable to be at the head of a ration that wanted to be great in moral force and not physical force. "You ask me, a believer In free sil ver, how I can bring myself to support a man who favors the gold standard. I say that I love peace and the gospel of peace infinitely more than I lova either gold or silver." Mr. Bryan assured his hearers thai if Mr. Parker was elected president, peace would reign in the United Sfates during the next four years. Mr. Bryan spoke of the labor trou bles and consequent occurrences in this state and said that the eye of th country was upon Colorado and the people were anxious to learn the result of the vote for governor.

The greater part of Field Marshal Oyama's army, however. Is still near Yentai, encamped along the heights between the mines and the railroads. While the war office does not expect an immediate' advance the preliminary dispositions of the Jap anese forces are taken to indicate that the Japanese intend when they ad vance to strike from the eastward They seem to be avoiding the territory west of the Liao river, possibly be cause it is flat and would give the Russians the advantage of their su periority in cavalry. Chinese residents fleeing to Mukden complain that the Japanese are pillag ing Liao Yanr. General Sakharoff telegraphs a for mal denial of several of Oyama s state ments. He says the alleged dum dum bullets found at Liao Yang are simply the regular square nosed bullets or the service revolver. They are of the same calibre rifle of 18 91 and the bul lets are all lead, are not Jacketed and are in no wise dum dums. The gen eral also denies the statement that the Japanese captured a large quantity of ammunition. He says they only ob tained possession of a few boxes of empty cartridge shells and says It is not true that Russian rolling stock fell into the Japanese hands. Only two old trucks, he adds, were left on a siding. There Has Been a Fljrlit. Mukden, Sept. 16.

The North China Daily News publishes a private letter from a Chinese interpreter employed from 1897 until the end of August last in the commissariat department at Port Arthur. The writer says that in Febru ary last the department supplied daily 33,000 rations to the Russian land forces alone, the naval forces supplying them selves. "But when we departed," he adds, "only 15,000 rations were supplied daily to the whole garrison, including tne crews or the iron clads which are now manning the forts. There are now 24,000 sick and wounded men at Port Arthur. Of ammunition of all kinds there are very small stocks and there are only five weeks' full rations remaining."

The assault occurred at the woman's home, 306 Qulney street. The woman claims that Moeser assaulted her with a "billy," and her face, when she appeared at the police station, bore evidence of a conflict. Moeser was also bleeding from several contusions about tne race and head. The defendant was released on his own recognizance and will have a hearing next Thursday. A. A. Graham,-who runs a grocery at 601 East Eighth avenue, reported to tne ponce last evening that he had been robbed by two unknown men who en tered his store by a rear window and searched his coat. About $8 or $10 was taken. H. Simon, a man who was running a shell game" In the timber on the fair grounds, was arrested last evening by Chief Stahl on the charge of gambling, and the outfit, consisting of shells and piece of oil cloth, were taken. Sev eral others who were engaged in play ing the game escaped. Lincoln Payne, a negro who was ar rested in July for burglarizing the Arnold drug store in North Topeka, was bound over from city court this morn ing with a bond of $500. Payne was ac cused of stealing 12 quarts and eight pints of whisky from the store. Sheriff Bert Lucas left today for Mus cogee, I. T., where Harry McDonald, a negro who forfeited his bond.

He is said to be the ruler at least In so far as he chooses to be. William O'Doherty, member of par liament of England, is the owner of considerable block of Union Pacific railway stock, and he was out to learn all he could in regard to the property. On his trip through Kansas he was especially interested in learning all he possibly could in regard to rail way affairs in this section of the country. Mr. O'Doherty, although a member of parliament, knows enough about railroads and railroad management to make the smartest railway president or manager sit up and wonder at the questions he asks. O'Doherty was surprised, he said, at the falling off in earnings of his rail way stock which he noticed just re cently. He was trying to learn the causes which led up to this result. He was inclined to believe that his stocks were on the decline, but when he learned that practically all railroad earnings had shown a decrease for the past fiscal year, he was satisfied that he was not getting the worst of it. Mr. O'Doherty wanted to know how many section men were employed to the mile on the railways here. He was informed that on an average about one section man to every mile of the road was employed. He was sur prised. "Why, in England," he said, "the law requires that the railroads employ eight section men to every mile of the road." Railroading in America is a revela tion to the Europeans. The vastness of the country is almost incomprehen sible to them. The big railway yards in the suburbs of the great cities look like the network of the roads of whole counties of English railways. j O Doherty is a most inquisitive man. In fact, almost every member of the party is as inquisitive, and can think of as many different questions as half a dozen newspaper reporters. Every stranger who gets on the train comes in for his share of the questioning. And the questions range on a thousand different subjects. The United States government pro vides every member of the party with a Rand-McNally map of every state through which the party passes. The map is given to the members of the party as the border of the state is reached. The route which will be tak en through each state is plainly marked on every map as well as the principal points of interest, and all points which may be of significant interest. The government also provides a handsome booklet to every member of the party, which was specially pre pared for this occasion, setting forth in detail the various industries of the various states. The booklet comes in four parts. The first part for the first stage of the trip includes the informa tion of the states through which the party passed from New York to St. Louis. The data and statistics con cerning Kansas are found in the sec ond booklet prepared for the second stage of the trip. A very comprehen sive report of the state is given. These books are printed in fifteen different languages. A special edition for each nationality represented in the members of the party. Coming from Kansas City to To peka one of the dignitaries from Swed en was standing on the rear platform cf the train. His daughter was con versing with him. He was telling her in very good English the history of and the peculiarities of the Kaw river. He was a master of the geopraphy of this section of the country and had the facts regarding the big Kaw flood perfectly. As the tram was passing tnrough the section near Paxico, west of Topeka, a big Hungarian minister who could see more beautiful things in nature liian almost any one else, discovered a herd of cattle grazing on a hillside. There was some woods near and the grass was green. Altogether it really was a pretty picture. But he went into ecstasies when the train passed a farmer boy who was walking along the right of way of the railroad followed by a shepherd dog. He must have thought for a minute he was in his native coun try and he shouted r.nd clapped his hands in joy as he exclaimed, "Oh see the shepherd, and see his flock oq the hillside." The members of the party were great ly interested In the crops that are grown in Kansas. They saw alfalfa for the first time in this state and it was hard for them to realize that from three to six crops a year were harvested from the same patch of ground. A Kansas man on the train told the strangers about the steam plows which are now coming Into use by means of which a man could plow, forty acres r-er 32 H BEER w A Fit yourself for the winter for very little money Your opportunity is now.

SELLS CASE ISADJUSTED What Promised to Be a Bitter Will Contest Settled Out of Court. iThe famous Sells Estate case, which involved the possession of $300,080 has been settled out of court, ahd Willie" Sells receives the entire amount, or all he asked for. Mrs, Ellen White of Dayton, O., and Mrs. Emma Clark will have $18,000 divided between them. Allen Sells, jr., will receive $60,000. The case has been in imgauon ior vears and has attracted attention ev erywhere. "Willie" Sells proved to the satisfaction of all persons concerned that he was the adopted son of the ate Mrs. Sells-Greenspan. W hen only 12 vears old he was the most noted circus bareback rider in the world and received enormous sums as compensa tion from the Sells Brothers circus. All this his parents kept for years, he alleged, and formed tne lounaation ior their big fortune. When Allen Sells, the noted circus man, died, he left a fortune of over $300,000. The entire estate was willed to his wife. Anna sens. Mrs. Sells later married Simon Green span. This alliance it is said caused a quarrel between Willie and his moth er. Mr. Greenspan died in the insane asylum a short while after. Mrs. Sells had meantime willed all her property to Mrs. Ellen White of Day ton and Mrs. Emma Clark of Phila delphia. Shortly afterwards she met Willie Sells in Alabama and she told him that she was sorry because of the quarrel, and that she would change the will and make him one of the heirs. Mrs. Sells came home and died very suddenly without changing her will. Then Willie Sells instituted suit for his share of the estate, claiming that he was entitled to it, because he had never been paid a salary while per forming as a bareback rider. Before the district court the case was decided in favor of the legatees of the will. Then it was taken to the supreme court where it now stands. It will probably be withdrawn within a. few days, for a settlement has been effect ed out of court. Willie Sells will get about $100,000, because the remainder will have been eaten up by costs of litigation and claims which have been allowed against the estate. Beard Warehouse Burns.

It Will Begin on September 26 at the World's Fair. '.'Kansas Day" at the World's fair, September 30, is exepected to be one of the big days at the exposition. The week beginning September 26 has been designated "Kansas Week," and Kansas will be the center of attraction. On Friday of that week, September 30, Kansas will take charge of things and furnish the programme. There will be a parade participated in by a large number of military organizations at the fair, and in which Governor Bai ley and his staff will, of course, be conspicuous features. This will be fol lowed by Kansas oratory and Kansas music in the Plaza of St. Louis, where all the big exercises at the fair are held. In the evening the Kansas offi cials will give a reception to the rest of the world and to Kansas visitors at the Kansas buildins- "The exposition management confi dently expects at least 100,000 Kansas visitors in St. Louis during Kansas week," said C. H Luling, secretary of the Kansas W orld s fair commission today. "The World's fair management itself has ten men out in Kansas now working up an interest in the matter, and the commission is, of course, doing its part. I have got to send out ten thousand programmes and several thousand special invitations. We send 4,200 invitations to people at St. Louis alone such as the representatives of foreign governments, commissions and officers of the government and from other states, and World s fair officials. "We are having a great time figur ing on that reception, because we have to order our refreshments long be forehand, and we have to order a defi nite amount, and we propose to show the rest of the world that Kansas does things right. "Kansas expects to lay it over all other states which have given events of this kind. Colonel Carpenter, president of the Kansas commission, and Mrs. Prentis, our patroness, have attended all that has been given thus far, and Kansas will outdo them in decoration and illumination, and of course we want a big crowd there from Kansas to help out."

Iola, now practically conceded not to be in the circuit next year, won the pennant by a lead of 54 points over Springfield. There is one real good reason why the Gaslightera won, and it can be summed in one sen tence: They did not have a single bad slump throughout the season. Spring field, Joplln and Sedalia, the othor three first division fighters all had their bad "innings." The Midgets started on only a fair gait, then too It a pace that was dangerous to the ex treme, but finally hit the toboggan dis- astrously through Injuries to its mem bers. Joplin was the real puzzle. Picked to win right at the start, and touted to carry home the bunting up to three weeks ago, the Miners went clear out of the running at the flnlah. Mike Welday's regular suspension and Harry Eel's sale to Kansas City cam' be given as the why and wherefore. But Sedalia is the one which seems to bother the dopesters more than any body. Like a flash they started the season, and ere its course had run a month, they were hanging onto the fringes of the toboggan. Then the sup porters of the Goldbugs began hand ing out great quantifies of "sub-sulphate of roast" to their pets and things went from bad to worse. Finally tbe Sedalians found the fourth place and never left it. The second division had but one race, and that was between Topeka ami Leavenworth for sixth place. Pittsburg took a startling brace about two months ago and hooked up with th fifth station for good. Leavenworth was sixth, but dd not have it cinched. Up to two days ago Topeka pushed th Orioles for their laurels. But the yel low legs hit a final winning streak ami finished 23 points to the good. Fort Scott never pulled out of the rut.- The Giants "lost the first 13 games of the season. A few more stray ons wera picked up here and there. Armstrong; was manager and things picked up a little. But too much had been lost, and when the season closed yesterday, but about one-third of the season's games had been won. In Topeka baseball was a success. The season was one of trials and trib ulations. Today Secretary Logan is checking up his books and he states that "things are to the good." Ha wa asked if the surplus would amount to $100. "Easily that." was his reply. "By next Monday I will have a state ment finished, and will give out exact facts at that time." Five of the teams changed manage ment during the season, Topeka, Leav enworth, Sedalia. Pittsburg and Fort Scott. Topeka had its Alberts. Its Cole, its Schrant and its Abbott. Pittsburjf had its Baldwin, its Abbott and its Kane. Sedalia had its Rohn and Its Lee. Fort Scott had Its Bene and Its Arm strong. And the disorganization re sulting from the changes hurt each of the four teams. Now comes the question. Who will fly the bunting next year? Iola will not be in the league.

Disgusting Exhibitions Oiren "To Men Ouiy." THE GAMES OF CHANCE. Apparently No One Is Bothering About Them. Old Fashioned, Innocent Amuse ments Hare Few Patrons. "The Girl from Mars." one of the sideshows at the state fair which has a tent near the east end of the grand stand, is one of the toughest things which ever struck Topeka. It la the fame show which was criticised dur ing the street fair four years ago. It is a "men only"' show, and boys undf-r IS are also barred. Negroes fiiid it difficult to obtain admission, because the female performers seem to have drawn the color line. The programme within the walls of the black, mysterious looking tent eon pists of a very racy hoochy-coochy fiance, a lot of smutty songs sung by both men and women, and some liviti-f pictures which possess certain decid edly suggestive features. One of the strong features of th? fhow is the work of the spieler who discourses while the programme of dances is in progress. He does not hes itate to say a good many things which would not look well in print. Every suggestive feature of the performance is pointed out and dilated upon with picturesque 'anjruage. The other day when one of the girls pot up on the platform to do her dance, ehe saw a colored man standing in the crowd of gaping, laughing, white men in the tent. "Get out of here, you nigger!" she exclaimed, pointing her fintrer at the colored man. "Get out of here! W e don't want any of you great big black coons in this shjew Clear out of here!" All the while the "painted fairy" kept her finger aimed at the colored man. and kept up her tirade until she tongue lashed him out of the tent. The men who are running the show did not seem to object to the woman's course, nor did they attempt to aid her in get ting rid of the objectionable portion of her audience. The songs and jokes which are sand wiched in between the dances are far too decayed to pass muster in the col umns of a reputable newspaper. There seems to be nothing too dissolute for the performers to do or say. When the show is over, the crowd is allowed to make its exit through the back part of the tent. The side 1s lift ed up, and the audience sneaks out. This is done to accommodate the gen tlemen whose reputations might be in jured by publicity. So far the officers of the law have not interfered 'V'th the programme, though several policemen have attend ed the show, it is stated by those who have seen them there. In case the show is allowed to continue, it will no doubt profit considerably by this an nouncement of its immorality. There are three girls, one of whom, Mme. Karina does the hoochey coochey. connected with this show, be sides a Dutch guitar player and spieler and a Hebrew impersonator. Another linnk Show. Just in the rear of the "Girl from Mars" show is what is called the "Oriental Midway." This show lacks many of the virtues and some of the vices of the "Girl from Mars." The equipment for the "Oriental Midway" is of the cheapest and most tawdry character, and the costumes worn by the performers look as though they had been in service ever since the days of Shakespeare. The programme is almost identical with that given at the "Girl from Mars," but the smutty jokes and stories are of a rather older vintage. The girl who does the hoochey at I this show is a rright, but she goes the limit in the hoochey-cooehey business. The admission charged to both of these shows is 2 5 cents. This is about twice as much as the ordinary side show, but from fifty to a hundred men pay the price at every exhibition be cause they think they are going to see something real naughty. The shows are very tough and suggestive, but to an ordinary human being they are so rank that they are repulsive. Paddle Gmnes Running. There seems to be no law against gambling on the fair grounds. The "good old paddle game" is running full blast in several places on the grounds, and the proprietor of these, games is making more money than anybody. His profits run from J 10 to $25 an hour, and he has an absolutely sure thing. He takes no risk. The paddle game is usually played with seven paddles. Each paddle has six number on it. There is a spindle and board, and on the board are mark ed numbers to correspond with the numbers on all of the paddles. Each Sale Ten Million Boxes aYear.

That makes 70 cents income. The spindle is turned, and the man whose paddle shows the num ber indicated by the spindle collects 50 cents. The proprietor's profit is 2 0 cents on every turn of the spindle. It takes about 80 seconds to pay In, turn the spindle, and cash the winnet, so this would make a profit to the pro prietor of about 40 cents a minute, or $24 an hour. When the game is a little slow, the proprietor himself holds all the pad dles not taken, and so takes some chances on his own profits. These-paddle games are running un der the guise of spindle games. They have knives, cigars and similar plun der scattered around on the board to give the appearance of innocence, but the transactions are all strictly on a cash basis. The knives and other merchandise is merely the proprietor's little joke. Other Games of Chance. It Is the game which has money in sight which does the big end of the business. Money is what talks to the crowd. While the paddle games are running full blast all the time, the man who has the board covered with coins "which are yours if you ring 'em" is rushed with patronage. The man who has coins to ring sells three rings for a dime, and eight for a quarter. The rings are iron harness rings, just large enough to go around a silver dollar and leave no room to rent. On the board, which is five feet long, three feet wide and tilted side ways at an angle of about 15 degrees, are scattered all kinds of coins nickels, dimes, quarters, halves and dollars. There are a few $5 and $1 bills scatter ed around on the board, each with a silver dollar on top. If you ring the dollar, you get not only the dollar but the bill underneath, it. In the course of about twenty minutes during the busiest part of the afternoon Thursday, a State Journal reporter saw the following coins rung: one silver dollar, two fifty cent pieces, five quar ters, ten dimes and twenty nickels.mak ing a total of $5.25 which the proprietor paid out. During that time he had three customers busy throwing rings nearly all the time, and must have ta ken in at least $10, probably more. His profits were therefore about $5 for twen ty minutes, or at the rate of $15 an hour. The coin board is probably not a gambling game. It takes rank with the cane racks, knife racks and nigger-baby racks, and is a game of "skill," not chance. The various kinds of old fashioned racks, where the "knife you ring is the knife you get" are doing a moderate business. They do not have a jam of people around them all the time, as do the games where money is the prize. Death of J. M. Jones. Pittsburg, Kas., Sept. 16. James M. Jones, president of the Pittsburg Wholesale Grocer company, who was one of Pittsburg's leading business men, passed away at 10:10 Wednes day night, after a sudden attack of pneumonia, with which, he was strick en Sunday. A short funeral service was conducted last evening at the W. H. Holmes residence, Sixth and Pine streets, where Mr. and Mrs. Jones had been making their home, and the body was sent to Nevada, Mo., on a Mis souri Pacific train, where it will be laid to rest this afternoon. APPEAL TO POPULISTS. Judge Babb Calls I pon Them to Be stir Themselves. A manifesto has been issued by Chairman Babb and Secretary Curran of the Populist state central commit tee, urging the Populists to turn out at the polls and vote for Watson for president at the coming- election. The address is intended to arouse from their lethargy Populists who have been inclined to stay at home. The address arraigns the Republi can party as "the organ of the trusts," and closes by saying that the Demo crats who are in control of the Dem ocratic party at present the eastern Democrats are just as bad as the Re publicans. It points to Mr. Bryan's newly advocated doctrines of public ownership of railroads, direct election of federal officers, an income tax, and other measures, and it alleges that many Democrats and Republicans are just about ready to join the Populists. The address is as follows: "To the Populists of Kansas: "Possibly some of you are undecid ed as to whether you should go to the polls this year, or if you go what ticket you should vote. We do not presume to direct you in this matter, but beg to offer a few suggestions. "In our judgment there has never been a time when reformers could ac complish more by showing large strength. Millions of voters, including Democrats and Republicans, are al most ready to break with trust ridden parties and help us to promote our fundamental principles. "Mr. Bryan has boldly announced his program to be to push public ownership, direct legislation, income tax, the election of senators, federal judges and postmasters by popular vote. Multitudes will be ready to fol low him in these measures. Now Is the time for everv man to be at his post. Every opponent of monopoly and plutocracy should support with all his power the great leader of the People's party, Hon. Tom Watson. 'For obvious reasons we cannot sup port the Republican party, THE OF FICIAL ORGAN OF TRUSTS. Under Republican policies and administration have developed the most gigantic trusts of the world.

My complexion used to be coffee colored, muddy and yellow but it is now clear and rosy as when I was a girl. I was induced to try Postum by a friend who had suffered just as I had suffered from terrible indigestion, palpitation of the heart and sinking spells. "After I had used Postum a week I was so much better that I was afraid it would not last. But now two years nae passed and I am a well woman. I owe it all to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place. "I had drank coffee all my life. I sus pected that it was the cause of my trouble, but it was not until I actually quit coffee and started to try Postum that I became certain; then all my troubles ceased and I am now well and strong again." Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." bines that are plundering the wage earners and producers of this country mamrestly dominate the Republican party. Its conventions and committees are largely made up of corporation at torneys and tools. It is no secret that for years the trusts and corporations have uniformly and powerfully sup ported that party, contributing fabu lous sums to its campaign and coerc ing their employes into its service. Their ample reward has come in the form of the enactment. Interpretation, and execution of laws, federal and state, in their interests. The Republi can party claims credit for every good thing under the sum. When wheat sells at a good price, and hogs and cat tie are low. Republican leaders vocifer ously call attention to wheat and Tor get to mention live stock. It is re sponsible for high priced wheat, but not cheap wheat. So with everything. We have had a seven year period of good crops and war prices: of un precedented output of gold, and an in crease in national bank circulation; the sale of $200,000,000 of bonds, etc.. altogether largely increasing the vol ume of money. As a result business has increased, labor has found employ ment, and there has been an improve ment in the general conditions as com pared with the period of poor crops prior to 1887. "The trusts and corporations have not been slow to seize the opportunity af forded them by these better conditions. Bv preventing the increase of wages commensurate with the increased ccet of living; by manipulating the prices of farm products, including live stock, and of manufactured products; by extor tionate freight rates; by exploiting the home market so as to secure from it prices a third higher than those received from foreign markets for the same goods, and by every other device known to the great 'financiers' of tne times, these cormorants have feasted and fat tened upon the people Until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. So complete ly have they turned to their own ac count comparatively good conditions that the country has been in the verge of a panic once or twice in the past two years;labor troubles are more acute than ever before and the decline has already set in that must sooner or later end in the complete collapse of indus trial and financial Interests. And all this under Republican policies and ad ministration. In fact every period of hard times in the last forty years has been under Republican party policies, and all but that of 1893 under Republi can party administration. In 1893,during the debate on the pending banking and currency bill Senators Allison and Aid rich, the acknowledged Republican leaders in the senate, stated that this country has been under the gold stan dard since 1873. The country has been under Republican tariff since 1861, ex cept from August, 1894, to July, 1897, during which period the Wilson-Gorman law was operative. It will thus be observed that even the great panic of 1893 occurred under the gold stan dard, and under he McKinley tariff law, as well as under the Republlcan ized Democratic administration of Grover Cleveland. The good Book says. Can the Ethopian change nis sKin, nrthe leonard his SDOts? Then may ye also do good that are accustomed to do eviL' The Republican party does not propose to change its skin or its spots. It points with pride to its record. It glories in its achievements on the line of class legislation and administration. Why, then, should men sincerely striv ing to establish 'a government of the people, by the people and for the peo ple, think for a moment of casting his lot with such a party? ."And every consideration that would prevent a true reformer from support ing the Republican party applies with equal force against the support of Par ker and Davis. Cleveland democracy nationally is in the saddle. Between this democracy and the Republican party there is no issue but the pie coun ter. The men in chief command in the Democratic party nationally today are men who either opposed Bryan in two campaigns or supported him in a half hearted way. We do not see how any man. Democrat or Populist, who sin cerely followed the banner of Bryan in two hard fought battles against plutocracy can now support pluto cracy under the Parker-Davis banner. The only thing left for men who pro pose to vote for principle, and not sim ply to help a few hungry Cleveland federal office seeking Democrats to the pie counter, is to vote and work for Tom Watson. 'You will do well to consider also the fact that your vote for Parker would accomplish nothing, as all concede the state to Roosevelt. Why not, then, re buke Cleveland democracy and give emphatic endorsement -to true reform principles? W. J. BABB, Chairman. J. H. Curran, Secretary." MOllE TANKS KOR HUMBOLDT.

Congressman Burton ol Ohio Views Flooded Districts. Kansas City. Sept. 16. Congressman Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, chairman of the house committee on rivers and harbors, who came to Kansas City to Investigate the condition of the Kaw and Missouri rivers, began his tour of Inspection of the flood district and both rivers Immediately upon his arrival at the union depot at 8:15 o'clock yester day morning, and ended at the same place at 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. During the hour that he was in Kansas City he took two river trips, one on the Kaw and the other on the Missouri. Congressman Burton refused to say hat attitude he would take on the movement for federal aid for both Kansas Citys in making the desired im provement of the rivers. He did Bay, however, that upon his return to Wash ington this fall he would take the mat ter up with the government engineers there, and that In all probability he i ouId place the subject before the rivers and harbors committee, of which he is the head. "I am reluctant t5 discuss the subject f Improvement of the rivers here just now." he said. "I will say, however, that the deplorable situation in the Kaw is due to artificial causes for the most part, and that the remedies are simple. The main cause of the flood of 1903, It appears, was the inevitable rise due to the direct meeting of the cur rents of the "two rivers at the mouth of the Kaw. This is In a measure artificial because of the shifting of the channel at the mouth of the river during the Improvements several years ago. An other cause is the narrowing of the river by constant encroachments and by the building of dikes and other ob structions out into the stream. Still an other cause is the building of bridges with large abutments which will not allow the water to pass.

I can plainly see, was due to the large amount of debris which was allowed to remain in the stream after the flood of the year previous. "All these," continued Mr. Burton "are artificial causes and easily reme died. What is needed is an authorita tive and intelligent control of the rlv- er. The first things to do are to .pre vent the further Infringement upon the stream; scour out the channel; clear It ot au ret use and debris, and a desir able way of doing this would be by dredging. But the prevention of any rurther encroachment?, or the building of obstructions In the bed of the stream is the main thing to do."

From the Baltimore Congressman Burton, Senator Cockrell and Governor Bailey were taken to Convention hall Mr. Burton had never seen the struc ture and he was agreeably surprised. At 2:30 o'clock the party again boarded the Moline at the foot, of Main street and were taken to the mouth of the Kaw. There the passengers were transferred to the Kansas City, a smaller steamer, which enabled them to make the journey up the Kaw river. On the trip the situation during the two floods was explained to Mr. Burton in detail. The encroachments, obstruc tions, wreckage and the made land were pointed out on either side of the river. Because of the wreckage in the stream opposite the new Nelson-Morris packing plant the boat was aban doned there and the party entered car riages. For two hours the party was then driven through Armourdale, Kansas City, Kan., and the West bottoms. On many of the streets where the drive was made there yet remain evidence of the two floods. The high water marks are still visible on many of the buildings. All these were pointed out to Mr. Burton. PRIN CE OF PIEDMONT. Is the Title Bestowed Upon Infant Heir to Italian Throne. Rome, Sept. 16. The majority of the people approve the action of King Victor Emanuel in not choosing the title of Prince of Rome for the heir to the throne, born last night, as it would have mixed the royal family in a party struggle and would have em bittered the conflict between church and state at a time when the pope seemed to be leaning towards modera tion. It is believed that the title chosen, that of Prince of Piedmont, will become fixed for all time for the Italian crown prince as is the title of Prince of Wales in England. As a celebration to the prince the king has granted amnesty to all destrters and has also shortened by six months the punishment of certain crimes. King Victor Emanuel has received the warmest congratulations through out the kingdom and most cordial despatches from Emperor Nicholas, Emperor William, President Loubet, Kin? Edward and Emperor Francis Joseph. The Queen of Roumania sent Queen Helena a poem on the event.
