i I BAILEYASORATOR Keplies lo President Francis at St. Louis. This Is Kansas Dajr at World's Fair. SUNFLOWER IS THERE. TLe Emblem of Distinction on Exposition Grounds. Reception for Uorernor anil Mrs. ttaiiej Tonight. St. Louis, Sept. 30. Today is "Kan sas Day-' at the World's fair, and the Kansas sunflower is seen everywhere. There are thousands of Kansans on the grounds, and the Kansas building is thronged most of the time. Governor Bailey and his staff ar rived Tuesday and have been here the entire week. The exercises today be gan with a military parade which started from the Kansas building and was participated in by numerous mili tary organisations which are in at tendance at the fair at present, includ ing the Philippine scouts and con stabularies and their bands. General S. II. Kelsey. adjutant general of Kan sas, was marshal of the parade. It was reviewed by Governor Bailey at the Louisiana monument, where the Kansas day exercises followed. After the invocation by Bishop Millspaugh of Kansas. President Francis on behalf of the exposition spoke briefly, welcoming the Kansans to the fair and referring to the great ness of the sunflower state. Governor Bailey replied to him, and Henry J. Allen of Ottawa, Kan., and David Overmyer of Topeka, made the princi pal speeches. A number of pieces of music were given by Kansas people. Tonight in the Kansas building the members of the Kansas commission and Mrs. Noble L. Prentis, the hostess of the Kansas building, -will receive for Governor and Mrs. Bailey. Elaborate preparations have been made for the reception and it Is expected that sev- eial thousand persons will attend. In replving to the address of Presi dent Francis today. Governor Bailey said "Governor Francis. I wish to thank you for the complimentary way in w hich you have spoken of Kansas, of her resources, of her history and of her people. And on behalf of the Kansas commission and myself, I wish to publicly acknowledge the universal courtesy that has been extended to us during our association with the expo sition and its management. And I also wish to congratulate you, the central figure of this great exposition, and through yon the city of St." Louis and the state of Missouri upon the energy and executive ability displayed in the inception, the inauguration and con summation of this, the greatest exni- bition of human achievement the world has ever seen. The event this great exposition commemorates, the acquisition by our government of the vast territory known as the Louisiana Purchase, without the shedding of a drop of blood, makes it one of the fDochs in the world's history. A cen tury from then till now. a century great in enterprises undertaken, a century rich in things accomplished. "But of all the splendid developments cf one hundred years there is none more marked than the transformation of the Louisiana Purchase from a wilderness into the splendid civilization that is hers today. "The geographies of our fathers marked all the vast area west of the Missouri river as the Great American lert. And it was believed that it was not fit for the habitation of civilized man. From that desert there has been formed a number of sovereign states, occupied by as prosperous, as happy end loyal a people as claim protection beneatn the stars and stripes. "And no one of the states carved from this territory exceeds our own beloved Kansas in achievements already attain ed or in the splendid possibilities for the future. It is a coincidence that Kansas celebrated this year her semi centennial. Fifty years ago the terri torial lines of Kansas were established nd territorial governmesit undertaken. Admitted into the union as a. state in she has had 43 years of statehood. Forty-thrre years in state building is but a prelude to the great consumma tion, yet a mighty commonwealth is there and standing today upon the crest that tells of our growth and develop ment. I wish to pay this tribute to the memorv of the men and women who gave Kansas her character, for states have characters as well as men. "When the time came to place Kan sas star uron our country's flag, the rubli" conscience nad been quicitenea Kansas have for their state. 'Once a Kansan, always a Kansan.' 1 ,iave been led to inquire the reason and I think this is the answer. First, it is a splendid and strenuous history the history of Kansas. It is the story of great possibilities realized, of obstacles overcome, of trials endured, of dreams materialized, of ambitions attained. And the great body of men and wom en who have written Kansas history and are still there to enjoy the full fruition of splendid statehood, and the prairies upon which they settled, that are now their happy homes, are bound to them by ties that money cannot measure or that money cannot buy. -ine people or Kansas are a modest people, and are not given to fulsome boasting by exaggerating the resources and possibilities of our state. I have heard it intimated by those who are not informed that this were not true and that Kansas people when speaking of their state could not always be depend ed upon. This grows from the fact that the simple truth told of Kansas, with all possible exaggeration eliminated, sounds, to those not familiar with her history or her possibilities, much like a fairy tale. So we excuse them for this wrong impression, conscious that investigation will prove by facts and figures Kansas to be in reality one of the greatest commonwealths in the Union. The last available statistics those of 1903 as given us by the de partment of agriculture show that in that year Kansas produced 94,041.302 buhels of wheat which at the average price for the year sold for J32,426,3C.". The same year we produced 169,359,769 bushels of corn worth over $57,000,000 and there was sold in lf03 for slaughter animals valued at Jd4.644.272. And the same report shows that the butter, cheese, milk, eggs and chickens sold by the Kansas housewives brought on the WASHEDJWAY.

One single wheat crop of 1903 brought to our state more than three times the price paid to Napoleo ror tne Louisiana Purchase ion years ago; our corn crop more tSi fou times the amount and the aggregate amount received for all the agricultural products sold in 1903 would be enough to finance 15 such deals and leave the farmers of Kansas with $163,500,000 as working capital. "While agriculture is and always will De tne great source of the state s wealto and commerce, yet each year brings new and unsuspected possibilities. Twen ty years ago the total mineral output of the state was only $2,000,000, and to day it is over $30,000,000. For Beveral years gas and oil have been produced but not until the past two years has the wonderful development taken place In 1902 Kansas produced 300.000 barrels of petroleum, in 1903, 900.000 barrels, and based upon this present daily production. she will produce this year 6.000.000 bar rels of oil. And with the present rate of increase within two years Kansas will be the greatest oil producing state in the union. Gas wells measuring from two to forty million cubic feet per day are constantly being brougnt in and the Kansas gas belt promises to become the great mid-continent manufacturing center. I have thus modestly and hurriedly spoken of Kansas material and com mercial greatness. Of this record and history we are all proud, but my hear ers, the real greatness of Kansas is not her material wealth. It is not in her billowy prairies of grain, it is not in her countless herds, it is not in her mines of wealth; is takes them all to make Kansas, but the crowning glory of Kansas is her churches and her school houses, her splendid manhood and womanhood and in her happy homes." NEARLY 2 INCHES RAIN. The Fall in Topeka Was of the Soak ing Kind. t that extent that it declared that th extension of human slavery must stop, nd it was not her sun-kissed prairie3 i-or her fertile valleys that invited the Kansas pioneer. He came as the hsmpion of that great cardinal prin ciple of liberty that all men were cre atd equal before the law. and upon this rock they built the character of a great state. "When the struggle was over that settled forever the question of national sovereignty, when the young men who had given the best years of their lives to preserve the Union returned to the peaceful walks of life, the great un developed west invited them to become home builders and by thousands they crossed the fertile prairies of Iowa nd Missouri and came to the state that was the child of the great strug gle in which they had played so prom inent a part and they brought with them the same love for the L'nion. the same love of country that had fired their hearts at the sound of Sumpter's guns. They were supplemented by the flower of the young manhood and young womanhood of the older states. It was not the doubting, hesitating voung man who was lured to Kansas: it was the sturdy, self-reliant men and women who had faith in their coun try and its institutions, faith in their ability to win for themselves a home, faith in their power to win for them selves a place in the great battle of life who were Kansas pioneers. These were the men and women who wooed the wild prairie and won from her the homes they love, builded our cities, founded our schools and laid deep and strong the environments of our splen did civilization. "That characteristic that is corn Won to the citizen of nearly every state is unusually strong in Kansas ud that is the love the people of The rain which fell in Topeka last night measured 1.78 inches. The rains of last night and the night before have been general in some parts of Kansas, but Concordia and the north west, where rain is greatly needed, wds missed. The rains have been general from the southwest part of the state across to the northeast. Last night's rain was con fined mostly to the territory along the Kansas river valley.

Denver, Sept. 30. Extensive dam age is reported to have been done at Trinidad, Colo., last night by a flood In the Purgatoire river. All wires in the vicinity are down and communica tion with the city is entirely cut off. All bridges in and about the city are said to have been washed away and no trains can get in or out on the Santa. Fe, Denver Rio Grande and Colo rado Southern railroads. The latest report received before all the wires were lost said that the Santa Fe depot had been washed away and the Har vey hotel was threatened with destruc. tion. So far as known there have been no lives lost. Trinidad is the county seat of Las Animas county and the center of an extensive coal mining region. Its population numbers about 5.000. At the Colorado Southern train dispatcher's office in this city it was said that the last news received from Trinidad was that the city reservoir had gone out early this morning. It could not be learned whether any loss of life resulted or what damage was done. Itailroad men said it had been rain ing very heavily in the vicinity of Trinidad since Wednesday night. The cloudburst occurred at 5 o'clock this morning. At El Moro, six miles north of Trinidad, considerable dam age was done, 500 feet of track being washed away. From what can be learned the water reached a height never before at tained, and considerable apprehension is expressed. The extent of the dam age cannot be ascertained, but will be many thousands of dollars. All wires are still down but forces of men are endeavoring to repair them. ine reservoir reported as bursting is locaiea norcn or tne town on very nign ground. "The Trinidad reservoir which is re ported to have washed out." said chie Lngineer Cowan of the Colorado Southern railroad, "is nine miles above Trinidad. It was built two years ago anu covers o acres or ground. Be tween the reservoir and Trtxiidad1 the country is taken up mostly with farms and railroads and there are not a great many people residing there. We have not heard of any loss of life." The following report was received at tne omce of the Denver Rio Grande at noon from the general agent of the company in Trinidad: 'The Colorado Soutahern bridire has gone out. The company has also lost z.uw reet or track east of the denot. The ground beneath the track has been washed away to a depth of from 30 to 40 reet. At ine tanta- j?'e omces here it was positively stated that the cars, which were washed away w.ere unoccupied. General Superintendent Coughlin. of the Denver Rio Grande, said he had received information that trains could not be run on schedule for four davs as hundreds of feet of track, to say notning of the big bridges near Trini dad, had been washed out. The mud on the tracks, one message said, was from to 4 Teet deep. Another telegram stated that the San ta Fe yards were covered in several feet of mud. The flood swept five city blocks in Trinidad and the loss is .estimated at $500,000. Traffic at a Standstill. Santa Fe, NT. M., Sept. 30. Railroad traffic in New Mexico is at a standstill, owing to heavy rains yesterday and last night. Every one of the three rail roads centering at Santa Fe is washed out, the Santa Fe Central at Estanca, Clark, and near this city, the Denver Rio Grande between this city and eating house and hotel was damaged but was not in the path of the water to the extent that it was destroyed. The business Interests, it is said in Trinidad, suffered tremendously. A large portion of the, city ,1s on lower ground than the Santa Fe depot and naturally would suffer more.:' The San ta Fe telegraph wires are almost all out of commission temporarily and the meager reports which have been re ceived here have not dealt with the damages sustained by otiaers. The depot building at Trinidad was one of the prettiest along the Santa Fe. It was built six or eight years. ago at a cost of $1,000. The Harvey house, which underwent but slight damages was built two years ago by Chas. Fel lows of Topeka. A cloudburst at Moro canyon resulted in doing great damage to the Santa Fe bridge over the Moro river at Shumaker. The rams which caused the trouble were yesterday afternoon: and last night. The storms were over and the weather cleared up this morning it. was reported. The mountain storms are over almost as .quicWy as- they come and a large force of men were at once set to work making the repairs, which it is stated will probably be-completed by tonight, unless further storms should come. i The Santa Fe reports that "the rains was general all over the .Sew Mexico division from La Junta to Albuquerque. The Rock Island railroad offices here received reports today of trouble on the El Paso and Northeastern portion of the line in New Mexico, but as that portion of the line is under the man agement of another- company the re ports received here are meager and no definite information could fee given out.

Sept. 30. That Secretary of State John Hay is to remain at the head of the state department in case President Roosevelt is elected in No vember, has been settled, according to Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the Universi ty of California, who was in Chicago today on his way home from the east. In an interview with a representative of the Associated Press at the Audi torium Annex he said: "The best news while in the east I had from President Roosevelt is to the effect that John Hay has now definitely consented to remain at the head of the state department in. case of President Roosevelt's election. This will be heard with satisfaction by all American citi zens who appreciate how important are the international questions likely to arise within the next two or three years. There has been apprehension at vari ous times lest Mr. Hay. yielding to his natural liking for a quiet life of schol arly leisure, might withdraw from or fice. I was, therefore, very much grat ified to learn that the matter was settled." Espanola and between Embudo and Antonito, and the Santa Fe between Las vegas and Albuquerque. No train has arrived since yesterday afternoon and all the wires are down. The washouts are the worst west of Albu querque and between Albuquerque and El Paso. All telegraph wires in this city are down. Many bridges were carried away by the flood last night. No loss of life is reported, but prop erty damage throughout the territory is heavy. Reports Received at Topeka. The reports of the damage received at the general offices of the Santa Fe in this city tally with the report sent out by the Associated Press at Denver. General Manager H. U. Mudge, who had planned to make a trip of inspec tion over the portion of the lines which underwent the damage, begin ning next Sunday, decided to start to day and his private car was attached to passenger train No. 1 at 1:30 this afternoon, and he will be at the scene of the trouble tomorrow. It was stated at the general man ager's office here today that the rains yesterday washed the track off the roadbed for a distance of two miles near Albuquerque yesterday, but that a force or men was at once put to work on that portion of the track and that it has been repaired. The trains which have reached the washouts this forenoon, it is stated, have been blocked, but that passengers have been transferred around the washouts and trains made up and sent out in each direction for the benefit of the traveling public. The statement was made at the gen eral manager's office that a large force of men were at work repairing the damage to the track at Trinidad and that passenger trains leaving here to day will find the line cleared and open ed by the time they reach Trinidad. Depot and Cars Washed Away. The washouts at Trinidad are worse than anything which the Santa Fe has experienced in the west this year. The Trinidad depot was almost com pletely demolished. Only one side of the building escaped being wrecked. Three hundred feet of track in front of the depot were washed away and two passenger coaches standing in the yards near the depot were washed away by the force of the current. The Harvey North Takima, Wash., Sept. 30. Senator Fairbanks made his first stop today at Preosser, a prosperous agri cultural town on the Yakima river, which has been built .up largely through the energies. of Senator An keny. The town was reached at 7:30 and Senator Fairbanks left the break fast table to make his address. Prac tically the entire population of the town was at the railway station, and the senator was received with cheers. He spoke for only a few minutes, and devoted himself to contrasting eco nomic conditions under the Repub- lican party with conditions under Democratic administration. He pre sented the Republican party a party of accomplishments, and claimed that these accomplishments are a far better guarantee of future prosperity to all classes than the promises of the Democratic party. After the speech an informal recep tion was held, and Senator Fairbanks shook hands with those present. At Yakima there was a stop of three hours, and a fine demonstration in honor of the vice presidential candi date. i At North. Yakima Senator- Fair banks was escorted to a temporary stand in the center of the town, from which he addressed a crowd which extended beyond the reach, of his voice. Senators Foster v and Ankeny sat with the vice presidential candi date as did many prominent Republi cans, The speaker's stand stood Im mediately in front of a monument to the memory of the? Yakima soldiers who fell in the Philippine war, and Senator Fairbanks spoke of the growth of the united States as a world power. He referred to the efforts of Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt to this end and spoke especially of the work of the United States in maintaining the open door in China. Speaking of President Roosevelt, Mr. Fairbanks said that his observation had led him to conclude that another term is assured to him. When the speech was concluded Sen ator Fairbanks andparty were driven to the Washington state fair, where some time was spent. Fred Dumont Smith Says Kansas Will Win.

Mayor McClellan called a few minutes later. Senator Clark of Montana talked to Judge-Parker con cerning the situation in the west, and said the Democrats will certainly carry Montana, and he thought Colorado and Nevada. Senator Clark made an appointment for former Lieut. Gov. A. E. Spriggs of Montana, who will call on Judge PJarker later and give him details regarding the northwestern canvass. Judge Parker will start home this evening. He will return here next week, probably Tuesday, and will at tend a reception for him at the Man hattan club Wednesday night. MOORS ACTING UP. They Murder the Governor of Arzila for Revenge. Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 30. The governor of Arzila, wno was tne father-in-law of the former war min ister. El Menebhi, has been murdered at Arzila by people of the surrounding tribes. The murder was committed out of revenge for the action of the governor in imprisoning members of the tribes. The murderers released the priosners at Arzila and killed many of the townspeople. Great alarm prevails at Arzila, ana the authorities there have appealed to Mohammed El Torrest, the represen tative at Tangier of the sultan, to send them assistance. TROY GIRL'S ROMANCE. Doniphan County Young Lady Mar ried In the Kansas Building. St. Louis, Sept. 30. Miss Phoebe Steele, daughter of ex-Sheriff R. M. Steele of Troy, Kan., was married last night to Mr. G. W. Green of Cali fornia. The ceremony took place in the Kansas building, and was public. Rev. C. A. Patton, pastor of the First Congregational church of St, Louis, of ficiated. Miss Julia Schupbach of Kansas City was bridesmaid. Miss Steele was employed in the Kansas horticultural exhibit. Mr. Green is superintendent of the California horti cultural oxhibit, which adjoins the Kansas exhibit. The young couple be came acquainted when the fair first opened and the romantic marriage is the result. The Kansas and California World's fair commissioners attended the wedding. Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 30. An effort at a solution of the Kansas-Colorado water suit is in progress, and if the efforts of those most interested in the case are successful a strip of the western portion of Kansas, about 100 miles wide, will be annexed to the state of Colorado and the litigation now before the su preme court at Washington will be thrown out. Agitation along this line has already started and prominent politicians in both Kansas and Colorado are exerting every effort to get the passage of a bill through the legislature of both states whereby the western portion of Kansas can be taken into Colorado. This it is thought by those who have given the irrigation question much study will solve the difficulty and both states will be benefited to a great extent. The strip of country in western Kan sas whlcn it is proposed to annex to Colorado is that most affected by the water suit. It is the arid region of the state, and the irrigation problem is of the greatest importance to the residents. East of Dodge City practically no water is taken from the Arkansas river for ir rigating purposes and the suit against Colorado was brought for the purpose of securing a sufficient amount or wa ter in that portion of the state extend ing westward from Dodge City to the Colorado state line. L. P. Worden, of Syracuse,. Kan., and C. H. Kennison, of Garden City, Kan., candidate for rep resentative from that county, are in Pueblo in the interest of the plan. "We have many prominent politicians and other influential citizens over both states working for the success of this plan,' said Mr. Worden. It would settle the water question in western Kansas forever and the suit now in the courts would be dropped, as there would no longer be any reason for continuing it." Both Mr. Worden and Mr. Kennison appeared before the government com mission when it was in session here, and are thoroughly familiar with the situation. They say they are supported by practically Vtferyresident of western Kansas. gating ditches before the Colorado ditches were dug. They have been preach ing the doctrine of nrlor appropriation and when Kansas took it up and proved that Kansas is entitled to the water even on that ground Colorado became frightened. It is possible that some Kansas people have become persuaded to favor the scheme, though it can not be believed that any considerable number do so. L. P. Worden of Syracuse, who Is quoted in the Pueblo dispatch, is not known here, and the other man's name is wrong or his identity is contused. The Republican can didate for the legislature from Finney county is W. M. Kinnison and not "C. H. Kennison." Mr. Kinnison was a mem ber of the last legislature. A strip 100 miles wicie off the west end of Kansas would take in approximately everything west of Clark. Ford, Hodge man, Ness. Trego, Graham and Norton counties. It would give Colorado twenty four counties in western Kansas. GARVIN AGAIN. Rhode Island Democrats Nominate Him for Third Term. Providence, R. I., Sept. 30. The Demo cratic state convention met here and nominated presidential electors and the following ticket without opposition: Governor Lucius F. C. Garvin. Lieutenant Governor Adelard Areham- bault. Secretary of State John Keenen. Attorney General George T. Brown. Treasurer Edmund Walker. Edward M. Sullivan was nominated for secretary of state, but declined to accept on account of ill-health.

This will be news to iriost people, not only in Kansas at large, but in western Kansas as well, and it cannot be be liever! that anv considerable number of people will favor such a plan. The ideal that a division or jvansas giving Color ado the western fourth of the state would settle 'the litigation between Kansas and Colorado is- erroneous. One of the reasons for which the suit was brought was because the Colorado irri gating companies took so much water from the Arkansas river that the un derflow even was diminished and the res-Inn from Hutchinson east did not produce as great crops as it aia uunus the years berore coioraoo won su uiulu water. Ceding part of Kansas to Col orado would in no -vise settle that question. rninmiln would no doubt like to have the suit settled in the manner proposed in tho fnres-oiner disDatch. It would not only give Colorado 20,000 square miles additional territory, but it would save to the Colorado irrigation companies the water which they are now taking from the river. At present it seems likely that Kansas will beat them in tne pending iixiganun i univ. States supreme court and tnat uwy will have to abridge aheir use of wa ter frnm the Arkansas. This would not help the people lower down the Arkan sas in western Kansas. We have Colorado licked," said riea Dumont Smith, one ot tne attorneys for Kansas in the litigation, during a recent visit to Topeka. Will they stay licKeo; ne was asked. Yes. they will," ne repnen. xi don't beat them on the doctrine "or rinarian rights, we are bound to beat tnom rn the doctrine of prior appropri ation, which is part of the Pacific coast doctrine. It is possible that the United States supreme court will recognize the Pacific coast doctrine as applying to n-ootem Kansas Instead or tne common law theory of riparian rights, but even then we wi:l beat Colorado and tne -oi ottrrnevs realize it. Ao a matter of faot the irrigating ditches in western Kansas ante-date those in Colorado," continued Senator Smith. "The evidence which we have introduced in the case shows that the Kansas ditches were dug in 18S1 and from that time to 18X3, while tne uiioraao ancnes wcjc m- dug until late in the 80s and in the 90s. There was an abundance of water in the Kansas ditches until Colorado took imih water, so that there is no trouble in establishing the fact that the people of western Kansas were using the water for irrigation first, and since ijoioraao nas been taking so much the Kansas ditches have been practically dry and worthless. The United States supreme court will not it a Htatp line make anv difference in applying the doctrine of prior appropria tion, ana unaer tnat me miwrauu uhl-u nAnrrle nan tint diminish the flow of wa ter in the river to the point that it would Interfere with the ditches wnicn were dug before theirs. "The trouble started when Colorado dltnh rnmnanies besran to take water away back from the river to irrigate the uplands. In Kansas it was used for the river valley, but out in Colorado they have been taking it back on the uplands, where it never got back into the river. "If the right system were used there would be water enough in the river for all. Some of those Colorado companies waste an immense amount of water. One man who was out investigating the sub ject, said that his buggy sank in a bos several inches alons a ditch simply be cause the water was not turned off when it was not needed. Instead or Keeping tne water in the river that was not needed. they took it out and turned it on unused land, not only wasting the water, but ruining the land. "Then again, if Colorado would store the flood water it would be a good thing for both Colorado and Kansas. It would largely prevent floods-in the river and it would give much more water for irrigat ing purposes."' Kansas is now through" taking testimony In the case and Colorado will begin this month: Senator Smith said he thought a decision will be reached in the case about December of next year. This may be the reason why the Colo rado people are now anxious to secure that portion of Kansas which had irri-, Kansas Man Tndecided Whether Board or Keep House. to Chicago, Sept. 30. The Record Herald says: Fred Funston, the man who captured Aguinaldo, came to Chicago, and as a brigadier general of the United States army assumed command of the depart ment, of the lakes. His aids are Lieu tenants B. J. Mitchell, Twelfth infantry, and E. C. Long, artillery corps. A small man in stature is Fred Funs ton his name is Fred, not Frederick his manners are most mild, his voice low, his face bearded, and when he looks at a caller with eyes that are clear and steady the soldier is not suggested so much as the shrewd, capable busi ness man who has confidence in himself and is satisfied that he can successfully cope with an emergency. The effect is heightened because the general wears no uniform. "I haven't much to talk of," said the general. "I've just come to town with Mrs. Funston and the two children, and we are stopping at the Virginia. We have our furniture with us, but have not decided as yet whether we shall board or go to housekeeping. I am glad to be in Chicago, and feel sure that I shall like this assignment. As to myself, there is nothing to say. I was ordered to come here, and here I am." The coming of General Funston at tracted a number -of visitors to' the Pullman Building. All had read of his prowess as colonel of the Twentieth Kansas, of his service with the insur gents in Cuba, of his feat in floating down the Yukon alone in a canoe, but none was sufficiently alert to pay at tention to a little man w-ho walked briskly into the building, stepped into an elevator and was taken to his floor without attracting attention. General Funston, however, was not looking for ovations. 1 KILLED THE DEALER. Masked Man Fails to Rob Faro Bank and Commits Suicide. Denver, Sept, 30. A special to the Post from Silverton, Colo., says a masked bandit shot and killed John Loftus, a faro dealer, and seriously wounded Herman Stroble and James Blockwell in J. H. Slattery's saloon and gambling house early today and then killed himself. The dead bandit, a powerful man, over six feet in height, has not been identified. He was armed with two revolvers and on entering the saloon he ordered the dozen or more men who were there to throw up their hands. Intead of com plying 5troble, Loftus and Bockwell, employes in the place, attempted to overpower the robber, and the shoot ing ensued. GANS VS. WALCOTT.

Joe Gans and Joe Walcott, the champion colored pugilists, will meet at Wood ward's pavilion tonight in a 20 round boxing contest. The men have agreed to weigh in at the ringside at 141 pounds, a weight which will involve no title, as each of the fighters will go out of his class. Cold Bottles and Hot Birds. One of the less serious minds of Wall street characterized the Harriman-Ber-wind-Morawitz meeting at Newport as being "more a case of cold bottles and hot birds than anything in connection with Mukden, Sept 30. The delay in the resumption of the aggressive by Field Marshal Oyama, according to the best information, is due to the necessity of making good the losses which he sustained at Llao Yang and to the bringing up of stores and munitions. But the preparations for an active for ward movement of the Japanese now eem to have been completed and a, srerious collision is regarded as imminent. Cneral Kuropatkin today reviewed several detachments of troops which, have Just arrived here and conferred the St. George's cross upon 18 officers who distinguished themselves at th battle of Llao Yang. W1U Let Mukden Go. London, Sept. 30. Telegpaphing; from Newchwang, Sept. 29, the Daily Mall's correspondent says: "The main force o the Russian army has retired to the north of Muk den. Strong bodies of 'troops have been thrown out to defend both of the flanks and the southern ap proaches to the city have been care fully mined. The. indications are that no serious attempt will be made to, hold Mukden." Port Arthur Can Hold Out. Vladivostock, Sept. 30. Private re ports from Port Arthur state that the garrison there is confident of being able to hold out until the beginning ef next year. The report is confirmed of the loss of three Japanese torpedo boats and the damaging of a Japanese cruiser by; coming in contact with Rusisan mines. Japanese Repulsed. St. Petersburg, Sept. 30 General staff has received news that in the general assault on Port Arthur from Septes"d-jr 20, to September 26, the Japanese wera everywhere repulsed. Russia Has Two Wars. St. Petersburg. Sept. 30. The Novoe Vremya .commen.tlng upon the hostility shown by other powers toward Russia, says: 'Russia is now carrying on two vara the sanguinary conflict in the far east, and a bloodless, diplomatic one in the courts of Europe." The article concludes: All these talks of peace conferences and inter vention are simply dangerous ma neuvers flanking, turning move ments, so to speak. But when the nations of the world cry out against the inhumanity of the war, they must remember that we did not start it. It is unnecessary for us to shade or soften the picture of the horrors now being enacted in the far east, Let us only hope our diplomatic battle will be won ultimately as surely as the other." The Novosti In a significant editorial article today reviews the story of We military progress in the Orient, and says the formation of a second Man churian army is Russia's pledge to the world that Japan shall be confined to her original frontier. The editorial calls upon the other powers to take cognizance of the "yellow peril" and agree that China must not be allowed to become a military power, and must not fall under the domination of Japan. Sharp Fighting Reported. St. Petersburg, Sept. 30. 4:30 p. m. From a reliable source the Associat ed Press hears that sharp fighting has occurred near Mukden, resulting in the Japanese driving in General Kuro patkin's outposts. Important dispatches have been re ceived and transmitted to the emperor. They are believed to confirm the As sociated Press' information. The gen eral staff, however, is unable at pres ent to go beyond the positive assur ance that the main Russian army is still at Mukden. Japanese Change the Gauge. Field Headquarters of the Second Japanese Army, Sept. 2 8. Noon, via Fusan, Sept. 30. The changing of the gauge of the railway has been com pleted within ten miles of Llao Yang and" it is expected that within three or four days the first train will be run over the new tracks. There is no change in the situation. Japanese outposts are now 15 miles to the north. There are daily clashes between Japanese outposts and Russian patrols .usually resulting in only small casu alties. PARKER A PEACEMAKER. The Judge Is Bringing Warring Demo, crat Factions Together.

STATION 300 FEET UP. itegalar Mono Code Will Be Used In SerTlce. Becelrers and Keys Similar to Other Telegraph Offices. Pittsburg. Kas.. Sept. 30. "Pitts tiurg will have a station of the wire less telegraph system within six months." declared James Patmor, president of the First State bank, to day. Mr. ratmor has Just returned from St. Louis, where he visited the wire less station at the World's fair grounds, and had a talk with the man ager of the corporation which is put tins in the stations. the DeForest "Wireless Telegraph Co. "The manager of the DeForest com pany told me," continued Mr. Patmor, "that they were now opening stations In Kansas City, and In Dallas, Texas, 1 and other points, and that they would install a station in Pittsburg. He gave me to understand that work would commence here within six months." Mr. Patmor thoroughly investigated the wireless telegraphy system, and he soon became an enthusiast. The wireless system is in practical working order and messages are being received and sent from the World's lair grounds. In various parts of the country the system is in practical use, and it will not be long before it is in general competition with the Western Union Telegraph Co. in transmitting telegraph business. In opening a station in Pittsburg a tall tower about 300 feet high will be erected. From the top of this tower to the base a network of wires will be strung. The base will not be at the ground, however, but will be about 100 feet above the ground level. Here will be the receiving and transmitting office. The regular Morse code will be used, and the receiving and trans mitting keys are similar to those used In regular telegraph offices. The electric flash causes the mes sage to be sent through the ether in every direction, and it will strike the wires at other stations In every direc tion, but will be received only by the station called. It is expected that stations will be opened in other cities where the pat ronage will make the investment a paying one. and that Pittsburg will soon have quicker and better tele graphic communication than is at present afforded by the Western Union company. No wires or poles will be used by the wireless system, and there will never be any breaking of communica tion by wires being down or poles be ing broken in storms. As the mes sages will pass through the ether and not the atmosphere, the storms will have no effect on sending or receiving the messages. Mr. Patmor stated that the company was reliable and backed by plenty of capital, and he believed that they mean business. SOME FAST THRESHING. Miff I am compelled by a sense of gratitude to tell you the great good your remedy bas done me in a case of Contagions Blood Poison. Among other symptoms I was se verely afflicted with Rheumatism, and got almost past going. The disease got a firm hold upon my system; my blood was thor oughly poisoned with the virus. I lost in weig ht, was run down, had sore throat, eruptions, splotches and other evidences of the disease. I was truly in a bad shape when I began the use of S. S. S., bnt the persistent use of it brought me out of my trouble safe and sound, and I have the courage to publicly testify to the virtues of your great blood remedy, S. S. S., and to recommend it to all blood-poison suffer ers, sincerely believing if it is taken to cording to directions, and given a fair trial, it will thoroughly eliminate every particle of the virus. James CUBRAN. Stark Hotel, Greensburg, Pa.

Some of the bovs workintr with the Troutman and Hooker machine recent ly resolved that they would try and find out just what amount of work a big threshing machine with a large and energetic crew of pitchers was capa ble of performing, and all hands tuTTni? willing and ready for the test, a spec ial effort was made on a job of bound wheat stac ks on the Pat ton farm in Logan township. Eight pitchers were employed getting the grain to the ma chine, the business of four of them be ing to turn the heads of the bundles in a straight line with the cylinder. By this means 50 bushels of grain were run into a wagon in exactly eight min utes, or at the rate of 614 bushels per minute. Speed was kept going on the whole 418Vfe bushels of wheat that was in the job to be threshed, and though it involved setting three times, the work was completed in 142 minutes. giving a rate throughout of a very small fraction under three bushels to the minute. Altogether Messrs. Troutman and Booker threshed 42.000 bushels this sea son, which they did in 38 davs, run ning through their machine 1.000 bush els on several afternoons, their biggest day s work being 1.900 bushels. They would have threshed more, but in the last week they got into a portion of the territory that suffered from the ef fects of hail, which lowered their aver age considerably. Their plant consists of a 25 horse power Reeves engine, with one of their mammoth cylinder separators. Beloit Call. Charles F Fetz. William Walden, W. C. Evans: substitutes, Edward T. Barnes. C. F.

Ryan, clerk of the district court, and Ernest Hunnius, his deputy, have been busy for the past week making up he dock et for the October term of the district court. The docket contains 63 divorce iuits, which is a record breaker. During the last term of court Judge yilpatriek got tired of seeing such a large docket and struck from it several divorce suits which had been hanging fire for many years, because the plaintiffs re fused to come forward and state what they wished done. The court felt that such a big list of petitions for divorce was a disgrace to the country, but since the last term of court more pe titions for divorce have been filed than were disposed of. It would seem that the record has again been broken. On the docket are 237 cases for the court to dispose of which means that tne jurors will have plenty to do and may have to remain longer than have the juries of the past three years. NO CONCESSION- TO COLORADO. Judge Ashbaugh. Fighting for Entire Arkansas Valley Rights. Wichita, Kans.. Sept. 30. Judge S. S. Ashbaugh, attorney for Kansas in the Kansas-Colorado case, pronounces the story of the cession of a part of Kansas to Colorado as simply absurd and ridiculous. He states the case does not concern 100 miles in Kansas alone but 300 miles, and he is fighting for the entire Arkansas river valley. Younger Sister There First. Winfield, Kan., Sept. 30. There was a surprise in store for the parents of .myrtle Effner of Oxford, when they came to the probate judge's office in Winfield to secure a license for her sister to marrv Wilev Hnrnhnpfc nf X'dall. They found Myrtle, who is only 1 years old. had been married earlier in the day to John W. Lynn of Seely, making affidavit that she was 19.

Blatchly of Whitehall, HI., represent ing himself and other Illinois parties, has made the first payment on the old Lindsay farm, owned by the Allen Kennedy syndicate, and within the next sixty days a company which ..is now in process of organization will begin the construction of a brick plant on the Zand. It is the intention of Messrs. Blatch ley and Lemon to complete the organi zation of the company at once and in stall a plant with a capacity of 100,000 brick per day. It will require a force of fifty men to operate a plant of this size. Later on the company will in crease the capacity of the plant, and before the expiration of eighteen months from the time of its installa tion it will probably be turning out a quarter million brick daily and em ploying from 100 to 150 men.

Plenty fIt But quality of Hew Men Uncertain. Last l'ear at This Season Pros pects Were Bright. Police Undecided Whetlier a Nebraska Man Drowned Himself There. Leavenworth, Kas., Sept. 30. J. E. Davis, of Plattsburg, Neb., is supposed to have jumped from the Terminal i bridge here Thursday, and Mattie Johnson, wife of Isaac Johnson, now serving a term in the penitentiary for a murder committed in Atchison, is held in the city jail for investigation. Superintendent Oursler of the bridge found a photograph in the window of the east toll house, on which were writte nthe words: "Take this picture to Mattie John son and tell here that my grave is in the bottom of the river. She will know the rest." The photograph is that of a woman unknown to the police here. The Johnson woman came here from Kan sas City with the man supposed to have been Davis Wednesday night. They quarreled and he took from a grip they carried several bills and at tempted to burn them in the street. Most of them have been recovered by the police. The officers think the man may have been a criminal who feared the woman would turn him over to the officers, and wished to make her believe he had drowned himself. OFFICERS ARE SELECTED. Firemen Enjoy Tlieir Annual Tourna ment at Manhattan. Manhattan, Kas., Sept. 30.

Joseph McCloy, who died here yesterday, was one of the delegates who attended the convention at Jackson, Mich., in 1S54, when the Republican party was or ganized. He was a lawyer and lived in Detroit. After the civil war, Mr. McCloy went to Jackson, Miss., and established the National Republican and later owned a half interest in the Vicksburg Times. In 1870 he was the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor of Missisippl with General Dent. General Grant's brother-in-law, on the reconstruction platform and was defeated. He was United States marshal of Mississippi ten years and came west in 1880. He was 71 years old. New Hall for CofTeyville. Coffeyville. Kas.. Sept. 30. In the presence of a large crowd the corner stone of the new $25,000 city hall was laid by the local lodge of Masons. The grand master, Thomas G. Fitch of Wichita, officiated and the Rev. Ber nard Kelly, pastor of the Methodist churoh, made an addraaa. Madison, Wis., Sept. 30. The football situation at the University of Wiscon sin this fall Is perhaps the most uncer tain in its prospects and the most per plexing the coaches and followers of the cardinal have had to face for a number of years. Speculation is rife among the students and other adher ents of the state eleven as to the pros pects for a winning team, and the chief topic of conversation upon the varsity campus is football and the football outlook. Last year at this time the prospects of the Badger eleven were the bright est. The squad included some of the stars of the western gridiron of the year before, and, while the team was not aa heavy as that of either Michi gan or Chicago, there was a. fair pro portion of weight, which is now lack ing. With this dearth of heavy men and much green material which is now practically an unknown Quantity to handle, the coaches are noncom mittal. They have not yet had time to get a clear idea of what their new men are capable. There is no lack of material. At present the squad numbers 50 canal- dates. The quality of these men can only be discovered by actual work in. games, which is now worrying those who have charge of the team. There are numerous applicants for nearly ev ery position on the team, but the class of men trying for the team, generally speaking, does- not class up with that of other years. The chief problem that is worrying Coach Curtis at present is the selec tion of a quarter back who has at once the requirements of a field captain and the necessary cleverness in handling the ball. Another problem scarcely less puzzling is the development of tackles and a full back. Of the old men it is likely that most of them will hold their former posi tions. Capt. Remp has practically no opposition in the center of the line, and Bertke is equally sure to be one of his supports. The other guard is yet far from decided, although Stromquist is the man who hasbeen worked in the position most frequently. For tackles there seems to be no one among those being worked for that posi tion who shows up in true varsity form. Deering and Brindley, both of whom have had several years of experience on the "scrubs," are making a bid for the places, but neither plays the game that will be necessary to stop the tackle plays of Michigan or Minnesota. For ends Findlay, last year's tackle, and Bush, the mate of Capt. Abbott last year, look good. They get down the field well on punts, tackle swiftly and low. If Coach Curtis can keep Find lay in his present position Wisconsin will have a pair of ends hard to beat. For quarter back Krumstead and Jones are working about even, Jones is handling the ball in better shape than his opponent, but Kumstead is of addi tional value for a back position on ac count of his ability as a punter. He kicks high and long, but is slow in get- j ting his punts away. i In the back field, with Vanderboom and Wrabetz, the two halves who made most of the gains against Chicago last year, in the game, the question of a back field will be half settled. For full back the most promising candidate at present seems to be Clarke, who will be the heaviest man behind the line. If there were more men like those who have been mentioned the outlook for Wisconsin would be better than it rs. But the inexperience of the great majority of the candidates is a diffi culty which it will not be easy to sur mount. Of the men trying for the team for the first time this year few have had any training. Their willingness to work seems general, but that intuition which must belong to every good play er, that football sense, which is not the result of training so much, as a natural aptitude for the game, the initiative quality which enables a man to size up the situation and see the proper thing before it is too late to do it t'nat seems to be lacking In most of the members of the squad, and there has never been a championship team that lacked this quality. Until now the men have been taught merely the A B C of football, but from now on the whole attention of the coaches will be devoted to the develop ment of a team to meet Michigan in the first championship game of the sea son on October 29. "The only team we see is Michigan," says Head Coach Arthur Curtis. "We are trying to get into shape for them, and everything else is secondary." Racing at Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 30. With a track as sticky as a quagmire, Big Ben, carry ing top weight, made a good field look cheap in the third and feature event at Worth. The winner was pulled up al most to a walk at the end and finished two lengths in the lead. Katie Pow ers barely got lup in fme to capture second place from Nanny Hodges. Big Ben was the only favorite to win. Two second choices and three long shots captured the other events. I Weary If Traveler 5 Jj i i u jj liJOSOTDft I If (NATIONAL Jf H jj COMPANY jor Delmar and Prince Alert will try for records today, the latter to beat the world s pacing record of l'.SSK. The surprise of the day was in the 2:07 class pace, in which Redbird, a hot favorite, was distanced after winnm two heats and finishing a close second in another. In the first heat Pauline G came with a rush at the end and won the heat by a nose from Redbird. Red bird won the second and third heats handily. In the fourth heat Redbird broke at the quarter and before Walk er could get him going right, the entire held had passed him. Sphinx took his heat easily, as well as the fifth. Pauline G. and Sphinx the heat winners, fought it out in the sixth heat, the latter winning by a length. YOST FINDS NEW MEN. Racing at St. Louis. St. Louis, Sept. 30. Gascon, at 7 to 10. was the only winning favorite at Delmar park. Wothington cut across the field from the outside in the fifth race and caused a jam at the first turn. The horse finished second, but was disqualified. Track fair. Lively Scrimmage at Harvard. Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 30. Spectators at the Harvard practice saw ten minutes of fierce football. If the crimson varsity plays this fall as the candidates did yes terday there will be something doing. The hard work was done by the varsity and second elevens, but their second scrimmage was the real thing, Kernan be ing a star. He directed his team well and, in spite of fierce opposition, sent the ball along for good gains. Hurley, Nichols and Guild played finely for the varsity. Brill, a tackle, was the only addition to the squad. Racing at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Sept. 30. The largest crowd of the meeting attended the Grand circuit racing at Oakley park here Thursday. Major Delmar was carded to go against the world's trotting record of 2:024, but did not make the attempt on aocount of a strong' wind, which waa blowing during the atftcraooa. Ala- Stewart From Denver and Pierce of Pennsylvania Join. Ann Arbor, Mich., Sept. 30. Michigan's first scrimmage showed up varsity tim ber in one of the new candidates, fctew art, the punter from Denver university, played right half on the second eleven and was the only scrub to make gains through the varsity line. Once he went fifteen yards after he had been thrown by varsity tacklers. In kicking tbe ball he showed excellent judgment, gaining the scrubs 40 yards by a trick kick. In defensive work he was not so satisfactory. Only two other new men, Schutz and Smull, were in the scrimmage. Schutz played right guard for the varsity in Carter's absence and Smull left tackle for the scrubs. Yost completed his varsity eleven by using four of last year s men, Beechler at tackle, Carrells at end, Ted Hammond at center, and Depree at right half. Duncan Pierce, a strong new candidate of fair weight and exceptionally fine build, has joined the squad. He played quarter for two years at a high school in Penn sylvania. Play No Post-Season Games. Philadelphia, Sept. 30. At the sug gestion of President Herrmann, Man ager Kelley asked members of the Cin cinnati team their will regarding a post-season series of games with the Cleveland team. Without a dissent the Reds declared against the series, so the team will disband immediately after the St. Louis games of October 9. Mr. Herrmann offered the players 50 per cent of the club's share, but the players decided that there would be nothing in the game for them if they were given the entire receipts. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Herr mann. j American Association Sleeting. Chicago, Sept. 30. At a special meeting here Thursday of the mag nates of the American Baseball as sociation the pennant for 19 04 was of ficially awarded to the St. Paul club. Although the session lasted several hours, nothing but routine business was transacted. President Grillo who presided at the meeting said that the season just closed was the most pros perous in the history of the associa tion and no change in the makeup of the league for next year was contemplated. little can be predicted of the game. In the game last Saturday with Em poria the local boys showed them selves lacking in endurance and very little practice has been done since then. On the contrary the Indians have a great many of their old men this year and are expected to be in much better shape than the locals. 4- Good Scores at Concordia. Concordia, Kas., Sept. 30. The sec ond and closing day at the Interstate association's trap shooting tournament was for the most part in a drizzling rain. There were twelve events with a total of 200 targets. The high pro fessional scores for the day were: W. H. Heer, 195; C. W. Spencer, 191; T. A. Marshall. 190. The high amateur was E. W. Arnold, with 18 8. On the two days Heer was high gun with 380 out of 400. Spencer second, with 376, and Marshall third with 372. M. F. Kempton, a young farmer of this county, made the remarkable record for a new amateur of fifty straight targets. Another feature of the shoot was the work of George Maxwell, postmaster at Holstein, Neb., who has but one arm and yet made a record of 360 in two days. Racing at New York. New York, Sept. 30. Dolly Spank er, the 7 to 10 favorite, easily won the Ocean View handicap at one mile and a sixteenth, at Gravesend. Leo nidas made the running to the stretch, followed by Dolly Spanker, who took command in the stretch and won by five lengths. Mineola beat Leonidas a head for the place. The distance of the second race ought to have been one mije and a furlong, but through an error it was printed on the program as one mile and a sixteenth and run at that distance. Nebraska Giant at Yale. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 30. Cotton, a giant from the University of Nebraska, has made his advent in Yale football and was the prime factor in the failure of the varsity to score during the afternoon. He broke up attacks as Heftelfinger used to. He was lined up at left tackla on the scrubs, facing Captain Hogan of the reg ulars, who had an interesting contest as long as the Nebraskan could stand the pace. Cotton dM not come to Yale to play football, but Mike Murphy picked him out of the crowd and pressed him into service. As he has played on another university eleven, he will not be eligible for the Yale team this fall. W. T. Soden Improves. W. T. Soden was on the street today. Mr. Soden has been on a summer visit to Boulder, Col., for several weeks and reached home yesterday evening. He was up town today and appears to have been much benefited by his Colorado trip. Emporia Gazette. McCoy Challenges Jeffries. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 30. Kid Mc Coy has issued a challenge to James Jef fries to fight for the championship. He offers to fight at any time before the club offering the best purse. Gus Gardiner Defeated. St. Louis, Sept. 80.

Supremacy of 'Agriculture Makes Kansas Great. St. Louis, Sept. 30. One of the most lcxjuent addresses delivered at the Kansas exercises at the exposition rounds today was that of David Over- Bijfr. His subject was "The Spirit of Kansas." The following: extended synopsis Is 4Tiven: Mr." Overmyfr'1 Speech. Who shall truly tell the story of Kfnsas? Pour hundred miles Ions, 2H miles wide: lying between the ihiriv.avpnth and fortieth naj-allels of north latitude, m the climate of the primitive Aryan race; extending from the western border of Missouri to Hie foot hills of the Rocky Mountains; ris ing from 600 feet on the east to 4,000 feet on the west above tha lavel of the sea: drained by great rivers; fertile, sun-lit, salubrious, teeming: with every produ. t of the temperate zone; rich in coal and stone and other mineral, nat ural gas and oil; her green and purple rlains. her smiling valleys, her "walls of corn." her endless wheat fields, her countless herds and happy homes, pre sent a picture of abundance, exhuber ance and exultation. All Kansas, ltee "All Gaul." is divid ed Into three parts; not designated like Caesar's conquered provinces, by the tribal names of tbeir inhabitants, but ky altitude, atmosphere, soil and pro auction. The eastern third may be called the corn belt, and produces in Kreat abundance substantially ail the products known to this country. The central third, gradually rising higher and higher, embraces perhaps, the greatest wheat region of the North American continent. While the western third, towering aloft into the mountain atmosphere, arid, rugged, silent and ublime. is covered with short, greenish frpy grass, exceedingly rutritious, call ed buffalo grass. This region has been named the "short &ass country."" The land is fertile, and needs only mois ture to make it valuable for cultiva tion. At present this highland heath grass sustains countless cattle, sheep and horses, and many of the inhabit ants of the short grass country" are among the wealthiest of the state. Only an Injralls. So much for physical Kansas, her length. her breadth, her har vests, her fruits, Ber vines, her fields, her substance and her material might: but what of her spirit? I ask again, who shall tell her story? What pen can fitly, truly write her history? .What tongue Can tell of her tribula tion? What limner can portray the marvelous lights and shadows cast up on the canvas of time by this young commonwealth? The one Master, whose strong, deft hand, could wield the brush, and touch the profound chords, sleeps his last deep sleep In her friendly soil. Ingalls! The Incom parable Ingalls! His intellectual strength and integri ty forbade deception. He dared to apeak the truth as he saw it. respect ing everything and everybody; to tear the mask from the face of history, an cient or modern, and expose falsehood, superstition and imposture wherever found. Erratic, excentric, cynical, but sincere, his genius, his learning, his wisdom, his candor and courage chal lenged the admiration atke of friends and foe. In the maturity and prime of his great powers he was suddenly gathered to his fathers. Would that lie were here to speak, as only he could speak, for Kansas on this great flay.

The Infancy of Kansas Is without precedent and without parallel. No oth er sovereign community ever arose un der such circumstances. Voided from the womb of turmoil, Kansas came In to existence, armed and equipped and furious for the fray; and took .her place among the states of the Union ready for the conflict then approach ing, and rejoicing In the storm, of which she was the admitted and con scious center. In the light of these historic facts and circumstances, natal and prenatal, all of her subsequent his tory, must be written. Slowly the world Is learning that the inhabitants of a country partake of its physical characteristics; that climate and soil, earth and air, wind and wa ter, and altitude and temperature, and all elements and forces, affect and mould us by the subtle alchemy of na ture. H. H. Bancroft, the historian of na tive races, says: "The action of a climate peculiar to America and of nat ural surroundings, common to all the people of the continent, could not fail to produce In time, a similarity of physiological structure." So, also, will these same Influences produce marked, mental and emotional characteristics. Sneering at the Swiss, Gessler said to Tell: "I v. ould have them like their hills that never smile, though wanton summers tempt them oft In vain." The tyrant little realized the accuracy and truth of his scornful speech: for the Swiss were, and are, like their hills; stern. Indomitable, unconquerable. The blacks encountered by Livingston and Stanley, in the miasmatic jungles of Africa; toneless and depressed as their damp and dark abodes, were eas ily put to flight or reduced to submis sion. But the blacks of Abyssinia, de feated and nearly annihilated the finest Italian army of modern times. Like the Swiss, they were mountaineers, or at least Highlanders; among them many a Tell and many a. Winklereid. It was not sluggish, stagnant, drowsy Beotia, that Inspired Pericles, Themls tocles, Miltiades and Demosthenes; it was Attica, storm swept and wave lashed, and soothed by Lydlan lutes, the balm of southern seas, and the breath of Eden. The people of Kansas also are like their state. They are bold as the bouy ant breezes that fan their faces. They are enterprising and adventurous, rest less, resolute and radical: curious, ex centric and Inquiring. Blunt and bel ligerent they are also, but a kindlier, more tolerent, more humane people dwells not beneath the sun. Cheerful and active, among them sloth and in dolence are practically unknown. While in politics they are partlzan to or fensiveness; they are capable on oc casion of rising above politics: and while Puritan prejudice has found a lodgment in their laws, they are at heart sound and sane, devoted to con stitutional liberty, true to the traditions of the Republic, and to the sentiments of the brave and faithful men who laid the foundations of the state. It is not by accident that Kansas cherishes freedom. It was her birth right, the gift of the Creator. When Omnipotence lifted her from the ocean's bed, to greet. the stn and stars, he bade her to be free. For ages wild beasts and wilder men roamed at will over her solitary surface. The Spaniard tra versed her shining plains, but tarried not to build or to rule. Yet with pen sive interes we reflect that during the French and Spanish dominion, tne soil and the buffaloes of Kansas were nom inally subjected to the Code of Justin ian, until March 5. 1803. and thereafter, till April 30 of that year, they were subject to the Code Napolian. The Nation and Agriculture. We are told in ancient fable that Antaeus was invincible" while he re mained in contact with this mother earth; and so nations are invincible while they rest their feet firmly on the sustaining earth. No nation ever flourished, where agriculture languish ed, and no nation ever languished where agriculture flourished. Cities bring opulence and culture: they lure the rustic youth from his father's fields, with their dazzling splendors and their prodigious power. They ex pand the minds, sharpen the faculties and arouse the ambitions of men. They attract hoards of weak and defective beings, and generate other hoards of perverts, who bask in the sensual ex citements, and float in the oceans of ooz, which flow fathomless in all great cities.. Vast heaps of human compost send forth their poisonous exhalations, year by year, detoning and degrading more and more, the life of the city. "Flee to the desert," said .Saint Au gustine, and John the Baptist preach ed in the Wilderness of Judea. Though we need not necessarily con clude that we must seek an actual desert or a litteral wilderness, yet all history warns us that health and purity, and the very life of the race, require the constant nurture of na ture. The direct moral effect, there fore to a state or a nation, of thfe pre ponderance of rural influence, cannot be overestimated. The political, as well as the econ omic advantages, of the maintenance of the supremacy of the influence of the country over that of the city are so manifest and so essential that they cannot be ignored by any people who have. regard for their posterity. Within the last forty years the pop ulation of the United States has more than doubled. Wealth has increased with a rapidity never, before known in the history of the world; but is so concentrated that less than one-f ourth of the people own at, least four-fifth JVULlUlbnilivl 8 o'clocR, Saturday, Oct. 1st, and continue from of the property. Forty years ago two thirds of the tillers of the soil owned the land they tilled, now, not more than one-third own the land they till. Forty years ago, not to exceed one fourth of the people of the United States lived in towns and cities, while three-fourths lived in the country; now fully one-half of our people live in towns and cities, and of the half remaining in the country, two-thirds are tenants, but not owners of the soil. Forty years age the influences which ruled the nation proceeded from the country, now they proceed from the cities. Then the impulse which moved the government was rural, now it is urban. Then, the ideas of public men were sentimental, now they are com mercial, and are called practical. Then, the question was, "Is it right." Now, the question is, "Will it pay?" Then, labor and capital were unorgan ized and friendly. Now, they are or ganized and hostile. Then monopolies were practically unknown by our people; now mon opolies rue iot only the markets, fix ing arbitrarily the price which the primary producer shall receive and the price which the consumer shall pay, but monopoly rules the country; nor can. its rule be soon or easily broken. The rage for wealth has become uni versal. The desire to get rich quick has become a consuming passion. All classes and conditions have caught the infection. Such conditions could nev er have obtained while Ceres ruled the land. It was not till agriculture was dethroned and urban motives moved the public that this condition arose. To speak .of the Importance of agri culture ,is to speak in another way of the importance of the human race; for if agriculture should cease, for but a short time, the earth would be de populated. It must, therefore, be the policy of every wise commonwealth to foster and encouarge agriculture, since it ia not only indespensible to human life, but is also the great pro moter of righteousness among men. Of all measures thus far devised to protect agriculture and preserve the preponderance of rural power in the state, none surpass the Kansas consti tutional exemption of farms occupied by their owners as homesteads. In establishing this great domestic and civic institute, Kansas doubtless, "builded wiser than she knew;" but the impulse which moved her then moves her still; in the future, as in the past, she will keep abreast of the age. No people understand better than the people of Kansas that a well fed na tion will be powerful, prosperous, pro gressive and patriotic; and that all ideas and theories for human better ment must rest upon economic bases; that you cannot reform hungry men, or improve the character of starvlings. In that reaction against commercial ism, which is now in preparation; in that great American uprising against the American plutocrat and parvenue, which will surely come, tne genius or Kansas will inspire, and her mstitu tions will instruct. The spirit of Kan sas is the spirit of liberty. Here, today. Kansas salutes her ter ritorial deliverer, her institutional an cestor, her great political protagonist, Thomas Jefferson. He, it was, who nurehased Louisiana. He drew the Declaration of Indenpendence, whose very language was copied into the Kansas constitution. He was the chief author of the ordinance for the government of the Northwest territory, the reflected image of Magna Charta. He was the originator of the decimal currency. He was the author of the Virginia statute of religious freedom, now the accepted doctrine of all the states and of the nation. He pressed into the constitution the Bill of Rights. He was twice president and headed the course of the young republic in the direction of liberty, justice, peace and happiness. He was the patron of the fields and forests. He was the herald of freedom, the advocate of rational liberty, the champion of human rights, the friend of mankind. He needs no eulogy, nor monument, nor epitaph. His works abide. This man hath reared a monument More grand than sculptured bronze, And loftier far than height Of regal pyramid in Memphian sand, Which, not the raging tempest. Nor the might of the loud northwind, Shall assailing, blight." California OfTcrs Opportunities. California, the land of the orange, offers boundless opportunities to in vestors, farmers, fruit growers, stock men, dairymen, manufacturers. Here is the charm of the tropics without their perils. Everything grows, win ters are green, summers are long, no destructive frosts, no prostrating heat, no storms, no sunstrokes, no malaria, wide markets, large profits.

Newman Selected to Be at Head of 21,000 Sliles of Railway. Chicago, 111., Sept. 30. William H. Newman, who started in business life as a ticket agent on the Teaxs Pa cific railroad, will next month become the head of the greatest railway system the world has ever known. Newman. as head of the Vanderbilt lines, com bined and placed under one manage ment, will control nearly Z4.000 miles of railway, with a capital stock of $1,169, 196,133. He will control railway lines that, if the double-tracked and side tracks were counted, would girdle the earth with a double chain of iron. The reorganization will .be the most radical ever attempted by any railway. The highest officers of the Vanderbilt roads will compose the board of direc tors, and Newman will be chairman. He will resign the presidency of the New York Central. Under the direction of Mr. Newman will be 132 subcompanies or subsidiary corporations and he will control wealth enough to purchase an empire. William C. Brown of Chicago, now vice president of the Lake Shore, will occupy a position second only to that of Mr. Newman, for upon him will de volve the active direction of the entire Vanderbilt system. His offices will be moved from Chicago to New York. One of the directors of the New York Cen tral said today: "This unification of the executive staffs will facilitate the operation of the whole system and it will result in a large saving of expense. Not only will the salaries, of the retiring presidents be saved, but several scores of clerks in the different executive offices can be dispensed with." A meeting of the Vanderbilt directors has been called for next week in New York. CHANUTE FEELS EFFECTS. Six Operators From Parsons Prevail Upon Waterhouse to Leave Katy. Chanute, Kan., Sept. 30.

It is understood that the committee is going over the system and urging the operators who have not already done so to join in the strike. The entire committee was htre yesterday, and they presented the matter in such a light to Mr. Waterhouse that he threw up his job. The situation of the strike has un dergone no material change for the past six weeks. BLACK WILL ATTESD. General Passenger Agent of Santa Fe Will Go to Fortress Slonroe. W. J.

Railway Lectures at Iowa State College. The Iowa State college has arranged a series of ten lectures to be delivered during the present college year by offi cials of the various railway systems In Iowa. The first lecture was delivered September 14 by Judge J. C. Davis, chief attorney for Iowa of the Chicago Northwestern railway, on the sub ject "The Relations of the Railways as Common Carriers to the State and Federal Governments."- Mr. Davis treated the legal side of the relations of the railways to the government and public from a historical point of view, dividing the development of the pres ent state of affairs into three periods. In the first, lasting until 1850, the railways were legally considered as improved highways. In the period from 1850 to 1870 occurred the great development of the science of railway operation, and a struggle ensued be tween the public and the railway which strove to operate simply as pri vate corporations free from govern mental control. Since 1870 there has occurred the period of limited govern mental regulation of the railways. At the present time the railways cordially accept the right of the public to such limited regulation. Other dates and subjects for the course of lectures are as follows: October 6 "Railway Accounting." October 26 "Tie and Timber Pres ervation." November 16 "Motive Power."

Union Pacific Is Settling With Victims in Recent Wreck. Junction City, Kan., Sept. 30. Of the fifty-nine persons who were in the Union Pacific wreck near Junction City last week, all but five have been paid claims and settled with by the railroad company for the injuries they sustained and for their losses. M. E. Roark of Junction City and Claim Agent Peterson of the Union Paciflo effected the settlement with the fifty four persons whose injuries were slight.- and all of these persons were pleased with the manner and prompt ness in which the settlement was made. The five persons with whom the company has not settled are Mesers. Carpenter, Dexter and Johnson and the two Pullman porters. These were the most seriously injured and would not agree to a settlement until they had recovered from their injuries. Seaboard Air Line Clmuges. New York. Sept. 30.

The Pullman company is building 18 smoking compartment and observation cars for use on the Overland limited be tween Chicago and San Francisco, and New Orleans and San Francisco, on the Union Pacific and Southern Paciflo rail roads. It was said yesterday on good authority that at the annual meeting of tha Alton next week the Rock Island interests will elect two of the three directors to fill the vacancies occurring and the Harrlman In terests will elect one. It Is considered probable that the road will be owned jointly by the Rock Island and the Union Pacific Other roads, it is said, will be forced to follow the example of the Wabash in cutting the Chicago-St. Louis schedule from eight to mevpn hours with its "Ban ner Blue Limited."

There is nothing wrong about whiskers if one belongs to the right party. ers' association is deeply interested In everything that tends to better the commerce and manufacturing inter ests of our country; and the bettering of our consular service is of vital 1m portance, and it is absolutely neces sary that a better class of men men who are conversant with all the pro ducts and the language of the country to which they are accredited be ap pointed, so that they will be enabled to make such reports to oar govern ment as will allow manufacturers and others to take advantage of the wants of the countries to which they are ap pointed; then to become thoroughly conversant with the products of these countries, or such products as can be used in our country at a profit, there by buildine- un our trade on a reel procity basis, which will take much of our surplus products of all kinds, ana Increase in that manner not only our trade but give emplyoment to a large shipping interest, which we sincerely trust will be built up on such princi ples as to make it a permanent fea ture. It is a fact that many of our representatives abroad are appointed throusrh political pull or otner innu ence, having no regard to their fitness for such positions. If a merit system prevails we will soon have a neiter consular service, which will be worth millions and millions of dollars to our great country. Resolved, by the American tsans.- ers association.

Commenting on this action the Chi cago Post says: "The importance of this indorse ment of the original Lodge bill will be better appreciated when it is known that the American Bankers' associa tion is the largest financial-commer cial organization in the world. It has more than 7.000 members conserva tive, far-seeing men representing an aggregate capital, surplus and de posits of more than Jll. 000, 000, 000. Kvery business interest of importance in the country has now urged the con gress to enact a bill on the lines of the merit system, that will result in placing the United States consular ser vice on a basis that will make that government utility the best in the world, and a powerful factor in the extension of our foreign trade."

If the French engineers had made this discovery the canal might have been in operation by thi3 time. Omaha Beer A member of congress was injured in the Tennessee railroad wreck and a candidate for congress killed: the wife of the vice president of one of the railway lines was killed this week in a wreck in New Tork; the archbishop of Canterbury and J. Pier pont Morgan were both shaken up in a wreck in Massachusetts, while during the same time nearly 100 people were killed in these various accidents. Now that railroad accidents have begun to reach for "shining marks" it is possible the government and the railroad com panies may realize the importance of more precaution against such disasters and the railroad wreck may become less common. MERIT SYSTEM IX COXSCLAR SERVICE. At the thirtieth annual convention of the American Bankers' association t New York city the following resolu tion, presented by Robert J. Lowry, president of the Lowry National bank, Atlanta. Ga., was unanimously adopted: The National Business league has ir years been endeavoring to better fhe consular sen-Ice of tne United ttates. and to that end the commercial organizations and the manufacturing and commercial interests generally of the country have used their best en deavors to secure the enactment of the Iodge bill, so cailed, originally desig nated as senate bill 2.661 and house bill 7.097. for the reorganization of the Vnited States consular service, which bill, in brief, contains the following provisions: 1. Substitution of salaries for fees. 2. Improved classification, or grad ing, and transfer of consular officers. 3. Adoption of the merit system in the selection of consuls. 4. Consuls must be familiar with either the French, German or Spanish language, and possess a knowledge of the commercial resources of the Vnited States, with reference to the possibilities of Increasing and extend ing the trade of the United Statea with foreign countries to which they are accredited. 6.

Two days ago John Voeth filed suit against the Union Pacific railroad for $14.65 which he claimed was due him. He injured his hand while moving a water keg on a hand car, while work ing as a section hand, and was laid up for some time. While he was laid up he lost $14.65 in wages and sued for it. The Union Pacific settled the case without trail and paid the judg ment and costs, in all amounting to $19.35. More Build ins Permits. Geo. E.

At last the board of health and health sanitation committee have done something in regard to the disposition of the city's garbage. They have sub mitted to W. L. Osborn of the Topeka desiccating company, a proposition for the construction of a crematory, wiuch if accepted by Mr. Osborn. will prob ably solve the garbage and dead am mal ntiMtinn for Tnoeka. The proposition submitted by the board was drawn up in executive ses sion Thursday night, and is in the form of certain amendments to a pro posed franchise submitted by Air. us hnrn. The board offers to recommend that a. franchise for 20 years be granted to Mr. Osborn provided he will erect a crematory at least one-nair mne rrom the river. He will be allowed to charge 12 cents a cubic foot for hauiing and burning nightsoil, which is an increase of 2 Vx cents a foot over existing prices. Mr. Osborn wanted the citv to pay him $100 a month for removinsr manure from city stables and burning unclaimed dead animals, but the board refused to pay any more than it is ow paying, which is $50 a month. The charge of $1 a load for hauiing away manure which the Os born company desired to put into ef fect, was also cut to &0 cents, tne present rate. For burning dogs and cate the city offers to pay 15 cents, instead of 25 cents, and for burning garbage, 5 cents a cubic foot instead of 2 5 cents a barrel. These various stipulations of the board will be formally presented to Mr. Osborn today, and he will then decide whether or not he wants to take the franchise as offered. This morning Mr. Osborn said: "The board has not sent its papers to me yet, and I do not know exactly what they want. I cannot say what v:e will do until I see exactly what ..ie board wants." Mr. Osborn stated to the board Thursday night that he was willing to locate the proposed crematory as far from the river as desired but that if he did so, he would want the city to donate him a site. "We already own site down on the river which cost us $1,500, and we can t altora to let that go and buy another. As far as having the river near is concerned, we had just as soon be a mile from the river as not." "I don't doubt," said Councilman Ryder, "that we can trust Mr. Oeborn to burn up all the stuff, and not pipe it into the river, but I believe the public will be better satisfied if the plant is removed from the river. Then there will be suspicion that the refuse is be ing piped into the river as the company has been doing." "We had permissirf.i to pipe the stuff into the river," said John V. Abrahams, attorney for the company. "It was dis tinctly understood that we should be allowed to do so." "I don't agree wi'.h you oh that," said Mayor Bergundthal. "No such agree ment was ever made with the council." "It was an understanding with indi vidual members of the council," retort ed Mr. Abrahams. "The council went over and looked at our, plant before they accepted it. They saw the pipe leading to the river, and knew that we were going to use it." "That pipe was not put in until after the council Inspected the plant," said the mayor. The fact remains that the company went ahead and piped its refuse into the river and never made any effort, so far as known, to burn anything except the dead animals. Andrew Engle, of Des l.'oines, Iowa, the manufacturer of the Engle furnace which Mr. Osborn proposes to install here, attended the meeting la..t-night, and explained his process of cremation. He said: "I will absolutely guarantee that un der my system there is no odor from the crematory. I would like to build the crematory right next door to your city hall, where your city officials could drop in every 15 minutes and see that we were doing things right. I am will ing to locate the plant anywhere, I don't care how far from the river ft is." Some of the members of the board thought that the company ought to put up a bond of $5,000 for the purpose of guaranteeing that it could do as it agreed, and burn up nightsoil and ev erything else without odor. In re sponse to a question as to sftiether the company would do this Mr. Abrahams said: "We don't think we should be requir ed to put up a bond, but we will agree that you shall have the right to step in and close up our plant any time you find we are not complying with the con tract. We would not put $7,000 in this thing unlessH-we knew what we were going to De a Die to ao. The city has made a very fair propo sition to the crematory company, and there would be a very good thing in it financially at the advanced schedule of rates which the committee has voted to accept. If .the Osborn company can not accept the propositions made, it. is very likely that some other company will. The only matter of vital differ ence between the city and the company is the question of location ior the plant, and it looks as though the com pany ought to be able to dig up the price of a suburban location in ex change for a 20 year franchise. HE WILL SUE THE CITS. Mr. Bird Says Biddle Creek Claims Are to Be Pressed. Action was finally taken by the ways and means committee Thursday night on the Biddle creek damage claims. W. A. S. Bird, attorney for the plaint iffs, was present, and said he wanted the council to either allow or reject the claims, and they were promptly rejected. Mayor Bergundthal said he wouldn't give 15 cents for all the damages Mr. Bird could Collect. Mr. Bird said today: "I shall at once file suits against the city in all the cases which have been placed in my hands. The claims made against the city amounted in total to $4,500." The claims filed are for damage which the pYoperty owners on Biddle creek claim has been done to their property because of improper grading of the streets. They say that the high water has overflowed their land, and caused them great damage and an noyance. City Attorney Spencer has held that the claims against the city will not stand in court. The committee will. also report back to the council in favor of the passage of several new ordinances wanted by the board of health. One will pro hibit the dumping of manure in alleys. Another gives to the board of health the right to require any vault con nected with the sewer which in the judgement of the board should be so connected. The board recommended that all vaults be connected, .but that sort or a law was too sweeping to meet witn tne approval oi the committee. The vaults hereafter constructed must be of brick or stone, if the new or dinance is passed by the council. MAY STOP THE FIGHT. Seattle Civic Union Objects to Long.

Baker, 1116 West Fourth street, died on Thursday at 5 o'clock or consumption. The funeral will be held from the house at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. Mr. Simon T. Schlichter died at 9:25 o'clock last evening at his late residence 921 West Tenth street, after a lingering Illness of typhoid fever. Mr. Schlichter is best known in this city from his long identification with the W. I. Miller Lumber company during the past twenty-one years, first at Abilene, then in this city. He was born November 1, 1842, at Chambersburg, Pa. Here he received a common school education. On the 9th of May, 1865, he was mar ried to Miss Rosanna R. Karper. He resided near Chambersburg until 1883, when he came to Kansas, locating at Abilene. In 1889 he removed to Topeka with his family. Mr. and Mrs. Schlich ter have had three children, William, Harry C. and Jennie, Harry dying in 1897. He was a staunch member of the First Luthearn church of Topeka and was identified with that denomina tion ever since his childhood. The funeral will take place from the late residence on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and the interment will be made in the Topeka cemetery. Mrs. Sarah Sells, aged 89 years, died on Thursday at Big Springs. Kansas, of old age. The interment will take place in Big Springs cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Hannah Holloway, aged forty years, died this morning at five o'clock of paralysis at her home, 1723 Harrison street. The .funeral arrangements will be made later. CLOTHINGJJN FIRE Miss Winnie Fox and Mrs. Rankin Badly Burned by Alcohol Lamp. Miss Winnie Fox and her sister, Mrs. L. D. Rankin, the latter of St. Louis, were badly burned Thursday night about 10 o'clock by the overturning of an alcohol lamp which ignited Miss Fox's clothing. The. accident hap pened at the home of a brother of the injured women, J. W. Rankin, of 518 West Tenth street. Miss Fox and her sister were using the spirit lamp to heat a flatiron in their room, and were ironing some lit tle articles of fancy work. How the lamp happened to overturn is not known, but Miss Fox suddenly discov ered that her clothing was on fire. She fought the fire with her bare hands, and her sister rushed to her assistance. With the aid of a rug Mrs. Rankin was able to extinguish the flames, and doubtless saved her sis ter's life. In doing so her own hands and arms were badly burned. Doctors Mulvane and McGuire were called and dressed the wounds. While very painful the injuries are not be lieved to be dangerous. Neither of the young women was burned except on the hands and arms. Mrs. Rankin has been here from St. Louis visiting her brother for the past few weeks. BASEBALL ON SUNDAY. Iola Team Will Come to Topeka to Play a Game. The Topeka baseball season will be dragged out to another notch on Sun day with a game between Iola and an aggregation labeled "All Professionals, to be made up principally of Valley League players still in this territory and three or four Kansas City Ameri can Association players. Bankhead Iola's second baseman, is managing the affair. He will probably not be able to furnish a lineup of the All Profs sionels until just before the game on Sunday. After getting up the game this morntag, he went to Kansas City this afternoon to scare up some players. Gus Alberts will do the umpiring. Milton will probably pitch for Iola. Walter France of the Kansas City American Association team will proba bly do the twirling for the All Profes sionals. The game will be called at 3 o clock. SANTA FE WANTS RIGHT OF WAY. Will Ask City Council to Permit Side Track on Adams Street. At the council meeaing Monday night, the Santa Fe railway will have introduced a new ordinance asking for a franchise to build a side track on Adams street from Fifth to Tenth. It is understood that there are sev eral manufacturing industries which are expecting to build on Adams street provided the side track Is laid. They are only waiting for the construction of the track to begin work on their buildings. O. J. Wood of the Santa Fe legal department is looking after the draft ing of the ordinace, but says that he knows nothing about the matter aside from the legal questions involved. There is not likely to be much opposi tion to the proposed ordinance, as Adams street is already occupied by the Missouri Pacific tracks, and is practically useless for traffic. Gen. Payne Continues to Improve. Washington, Sept. 30. President Roosevelt called at the Arlington hotel about noon to inquire after Gen. Payne's condition. He saw Mrs. Payne and remained about 10 min utes. An hour and a half later the president returned to the hotel. He remained in Mr. Payne's apartments but a few minutes, and when he came out said the doctor had reported that there were real grounds for encour agement. Mr. Whitney, his private secretary, also announecd that there was a decided improvement in Mr. Payne's condition. LOCAL MENTION.

Philips, chairman of the Republican county central com-1 mittee, has announced that he has i taken a poll of the county and that the national Republican ticket will have 4.500 majority and all other tickets and candidates will be close to that mark.

More than 3.000 people were present, but only 600 were Indians.

Messick, an expert from Quincy, III., has examined the orchard at Tecumseh owned by Captain Henry King, editor of the Globe-Democrat. The orchard always blooms but never bears.

Quite a large delegation of Wash burn students will go with their foot ball team to Emporia Saturday to witness the opening gome of the Washburti schedule, to be played with the College xt Emporia. A fare and a third has been made for the excursion. This is the only out of town game which Washburn will play in the state this season. It makes one trip to Co lumbia to play the Missouri State uni versity, and all its other games are in Topeka. Coach Outland has not yet an nounced the names of the players who will go to Emporia, but the following will probably be on the list, together with a few others: Ends, Lakin, R. Stewart and Haughey. Tackles, Williams, Sharp, Piatt. Guards, Louthan, Brown. Center, Dadisman, captain. Halves, Millice, Caldwell, Johnson. Fullback, Cunningham. Quarter, White, Thrailkill. Big Jim Hughes may be taken along, although he has only been out for practice a couple of days. The ab sence of Hill in St. Louis leaves the position of tackle somewhat weaker than usual. Three first team men are now on the Washburn hospital list. Jim Stew art has a sprained ankle, and will not play for some days; Nash, the Byron, Okla., man who has been doing such fine work at halfback, is out of the game for a fortnight at least with an injured rib; Pleasant Is sick, and has not been out for practice for some days. Some good defensive work is being developed in the first team by Coach Outland. At the Thursday afternoon practice, Outland gave the second team the ball on the first team's 10 yard line. He allowed the second team ten downs in which to make a touchdown. The second team ad vanced the ball only 6 yards in ten downs. The second team was captain ed by Billy Rice, and contained in its lineup such men as Jim Hughes, W. Stahl, Weidling, Lee. Bob Maxwell and the Tice boys. The play was .fast and furious, the second team using series plays without signals. In weight the second team was probably nearly equal to the first team. The feature of the work was the mag nificent defense work of Dadisman and Caldwell, who back up the 'varsity line. After the practice, Coach. Outland said: "The first team is getting down to business now, and I think it is going to he hard for anybody to cross Wash burn's goal line this season." Pierson, the new man from Indian Territory, arrived in the city Thursday, and will probably be out for practice today. He weighs upwards of 190, and while he will not go with the first team to Emporia, he may get into the game with the' second team here at Topeka. Saturday's game on the Washburn team and the Topeka High school, will be a hard struggle, with the chances favoring the Washburn team, on ac count of its superior weight. On paper it rather looks as though the second Washburn team was almost out of the class of the High school, but the High school aggregation is made up of a husky, active lot of boys, ana tney will undoubtedly give the collegians a hard fight. The Washburn second team has not been selected for the Saturday game. I but it will be chosen out of the fol lowing bunch: Ends, H. Tice, Williams, Maxwell, D. Lee. Tackles, Rice, Hughes, Kepler. Guards, Teiss, Amick. Center, Snattinger. Quarter, E. Tice, Vorhis. Halves. Stahl. Griggs. Weidling. Fullback, R. Lee, Bob Maxwell, Pier son. The game is to beein at 3:30. rico'o CREAM iialdng PoiYdor CONTAINS NO ALUM, LIME OR AMMONIA Made of pure cream of tar tar, it safeguards the health of the family. Pries Csklrg Powder Co. CHICAQO.

Interstate Commerce Commission W01 Listen to Complaints. 0 A reOM IMPOVKIUSIIED BLOOD. The Remedy That Makes New Blood Banishes Weakness, Headaches, In digestion and Nervous Troubles. Hundreds of women suiter from headaches, dizziness, restlessness. languid feeling that makes all work a burden and a timidity that keeps them In constant fear of some vague dis aster. Few realize that their misery ail comes from the bad state of their blood, and that it can be relieved at small expense and with very little trouble. They take one thing for their head, and another for their stomach and a third for their nerves, and yet all the while It is simply their poor hiood that is the cause of all their discomfort. If one sure remedy for making good, rich blood were used every one rf their distressing ailments would disarrear. as they did in the case of Mrs. Elia F. Stone, who-had been ailing for years and was completely run down before she realized tne na The particulars of Sirs. Monc s Ill ness and recovery, as siaiea oy ner- self. are as follows: "tor several years I suft'ei-ed from general debility. It began about 1996. I do not know the special cause, but I began to have Indigestion, nervousness and steady headaches. Up to 1900 I hadn't been able to rind any relief from this con dition. Then I was in a pronounced anaemic state. 1 was very thin and bloodless. A friend who had used rr. Williams" Pink Pills for a difficul ty of the blood and was enthusiastic over the results urged me to give them a trial and I finally bought a box. "I did not notice any marked change from the use of the first box. but I determined to give them a fair trial and I kept on. When I had fin ished the second box I could see very decided signs of .improvement in my condition. Day 'after day the evi dence that tney were doing me good grew rtronger. I began to feel better all over, and I began to have hopes of a complete cure. "I used in all eight or ten boxes, and when I stopped I had got back my regular weight and a good healthy col or, and the gain has lasted. 1 can eat what I please without discomfort. My nervousness is entirely gone, and, while I had constant headache before, I very rarely have one now. I cheer fully recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to women who suffer as I did." Mrs. Stone was seen at her pretty home in Lakewood, R. I., where she is well known, and where, as the re suit of her experience. Pink Pills are to be found in many households. These famous pills are sold by all druggists. A book that every woman needs is published by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Companv. Schenectady. N. T.

He refuses to go to a hospital or to permit anyone to administer to him except one man, Scott by name, who is a neighbor. The old man declares he will die in the quarters he has so long occupied.

The new owners propose to enlarge and re build the plant, making it a first class jone. Just as has been thought right along by those cognizant with the minor league baseball situation through the middle west, the plan of the Western league to get Topeka, Joplin and Dav enport in its circuit for 1905 is noth ing more than one of the steps to turn down George Tebeau and prevent him from putting Pueblo and Victor, Colo., into the league. In fact, the managers of four Western league towns, Omaha, Sioux City, St. Joseph and Des Moines, want to knock Tebeau clear out of the league. So they are scheming to get hold of towns in the Missouri Valley. The following story from the Des Moines Daily News of Wednesday is interesting to Topeka baseball people, and it covers the situation accurately: "The determination to oppose the plan of Thomas Burns to introduce Pueblo and Victor, Colo., into the Western league next season, and a unanimous agreement to suggest Dav enport, Iowa, Joplin, Mo., and Topeka, Kas., as the new cities, if any are taken, were the transactions of Dr. C. D. Rawson of this city. Percy Cham berlain of St. Joseph. W. F. Duncan of Sioux City and William A. Rourke of Omaha, In a secret meeting held In Omaha Tuesday. While the magnates thus assembled made it emphatic that It was not their desire to hamper any plans of Burns that might better the Western league, they agreed on provisions that will make it extremely difficult for the two new western cities to gain admission Into the circuit. The requirement de cided upon is that each proposed new club be compelled to sign a guarantee of $125 per day and a rain forfeit of $75 per day. The decision was arrived at after the magnates had listened to an extensive report of an Investigation Into the base ball possibilities of the two cities. Pu eblo, it was round, has a population that is chiefly foreign and in view of the fact that only a small per cent of the inhabitants are a baseball people. It was the agreement that a heavy guarantee must be assured before it admission into the Western will be sanctioned by the clubs of the east. It was found that the conditions at Victor are still more discouraging, ow ing to the frequent rains In that lo cality in the summer months. It was learned that about half Of the contests would have to be postponed on account of the elements, and for this reason the four representatives -conditioned their support of Burns' plan to cham pion this city into the league with a strong rain guarantee. Davenport. Joplin and Topeka as candidates for admission into the west ern were suggestions. In the case of the former, U was considered that Rock Island and Moline patronage would make 14 a, strong- city, but the fact that both Davenport and Rock Island are In the Three-I league at present will make it difficult to work them Into the Western. The same trouble will be met in en tering Joplin and Topeka, for both these cities belong to the Missouri Val ley league. All of the franchises would have to be purchased, and in view of the fact that the surrender price in cases of this kind is $2,500, the projects may be dropped. At any rate, according to Dr. Raw son, it is not (the intention of the east ern clubs to stand by and allow Thom as Burns and George Tebeau to assume the reins of absolute authority and dictate the policy of the league in a way that will benefit them most, de spite the possible attendant hardships to other clubs. An anual meeting of representatives of the entire league will be held soon, probably at Omaha, and at that time the future of the organization may be decided in the lobbies, although no definite action can be taken In the meeting, which is a mere auditing meeting." POLITICIANS ARE WORRIED. No Decision Has Been Handed, Down In LaFoIlette Case. Madison, Wis., Sept. 30 The supreme court today was again the source of keen disappointment to the politicians of the state In that it did not hand down the decision in the LaFoIlette case. Everything now depends upon the date to which an adjournment is taken at the conclusion .pf today's work. There is a belief in some quar ters that the court will take the usual course of holding a session on Satur day and that it will render a decision at that time. If, however, the adjourn ment this afternoon is not taken to Saturday the decision will be postponed t? October 18 or later. UNIVERSAL ACCLAIM. Greets the Accession of Russia's New Minister of the Interior. Governor Issues Proclamation. Boston, Sept. 30. News of the death of Senator George F. Hoar was re ceived with great regret by all classes of citizens. The flags on the state house, city hall and other buildings throughout the city were half masted. Governor Bates issued a proclamation announcing the death of the senator and directing that the state depart ments be closed on the day of the funeral. Madden Knocks Out Dempsey.

One of nature's remedies: can not harm the weakest constitution: never fails to euro summer complaints of young and old. Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. st- Petersburg, Sept. 30. 1 p. m. ine war. in the far east has been mc mentarily thrown in the shade by the universal acclaim with whicn the Rus sian press today greets the accession of Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky to the office of minister of the interior as marking tne inauguration of a liberal regime. All the papers print the minister's speech at the reeeption yesterday of the officials of the ministry and by the side of it by special authorization of the minister of the interior the interview of the Associated Press with the minister at Viina September 23. Many of the papers also print the emperor's mani festo of 1903. The editorials all breathe a tone of relief at the passage of the von Plehve regime and intense satis faction at the dawning of brighter days. The interview of the Associatde Press with the minister of the interior is ac cepted as an amplification of the min ister's words to his associates. The Russ entitles its editorial "A System of Confidence," and says: "A year and a half has elapsed since the manifesto was issued but the for mer minister was far from encouraging the co-operation of the people concern ed. He deliberately excluded them and fostered an atmosphere of mutual sus picion. The new minister realizes that the only way to obtain actus) results is to give lasting effect to the liberal pledges contained In the manifesto, take the people into his confidence and ask for the hearty co-operation of all classes. There is no necessity for pointing out that this method of apply ing the manifesto is a new departure. In the minister's interview with the As sociated Press his words were addressed primarily to the Zemstvos. They must make the first response. He says: T believe in the Zemstvos and am convinced that they can render the greatest service. "It Is undoubtedly the mission of the government in the truest sense to cor dially strive for their success and not to see in Zemstvos an attempt to thwart the government aims and ambitions. The noble, generous words of the min ister should call forth a worthy re sponse from the Zemstvos which are about to convene. They will not fail to co-operate by pointing out the Im mediate requirements of the country. Through the united action of the gov ernment the Zemstvos and the people by stimulating the moral forces, the na- j tion should succeed in establishing the organization of the country upon a solid basis. We regard the coming era of union as the dawn of a new and rejuvenated Russia." The Novcstl, the Jewish organ, dwell ing on the statement of the minister to the Associated Press at Vilna on the subject of the Jews, says: "Despite the prince's modest denial that he has elaborated his programme his assurance that there will be larger opportunities for life and work for Jews none the less contains a whole political programme which all will hail with de light and help to realize." The Novoe Vremya.says: "The minister's words advocating mutual confidence between the govern ment and people will satisfy the crav ings which all the people in Russia have long felt, but have only been able to mutely express." The Bourse Gazette heads its editor ial "A Policy of Sincerity," and says: "The confidence thus expressed to wards the Russian nation and the Rus sian press will not be betrayed." Continuing, the Bourse Gazette wel comes the minister's words in the As sociated Press interview as confirma tion of the reports that the prince en tertains the most enlightened and lib eral views. The Gazette says Prince Mirsky's words yesterday and his statement to the Associated Press at Vilna augur tranquility, progress, mutual confidence and unremitting labor, adding: "These are golden words which will go down to history: 'The welfare of the people, sucn is itussia s mono now.

Herr Barkmeyer, chief of the confidential bureau of the Germania Ship Building works at Keil, has been arrested at the instance of the directors of the company for ir regularities in his accounts. The di rectors positively affirm that Herr Barkmeyer's arrest was not made as a result of charges that he had sold military secrets, as was reported In the United States. Arrested for Assault. H. Ward was arrested on a warrant from the court of Justice of the Peace Williams of Oakland Thursday charged with attempting to assault the 15-year-old daughter of C. L. Lyon. Ward was placed under $300 bond.- New York, Sept. 30. Unrest Is in creasing among the natives In South Chili, north and west Shan Tung dis tricts of China, according to a Herald dispatch from Pekin. The new anti foreign society, the Tsaiyuan is spread ing rapidly even during the present harvesting of good crops. The situation is much the same as in 1900, without the famine incentive. The Sotrth Chili mission of the Cana dian Presbyterian church and the mis sion of the American board are in the infected region. The placards of the new society being circulated are iden tical with those once used by the boxers, with the following addition: "If every member will distribute 30 copies we shall become as numerous as the boxers and on October 17, the Chag Ylang festival, all foreigners will be destroyed.'' The membership of the Tsaiyuan in cludes clerks, subordinate customs of ficials, Buddhist priests and Influential natives. The foreign ministers have confidence in the ability of the viceroy to suppress the infection. That official Is the same who suppressed the boxers of Shantung in 1900. The situation is not critical at present. Causes Painful Impression. St. Petersburg, Sept. 30. 3:25 p. m.

HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS. 11 ad Taken Neither Medicine Nor Norishment for Dajs. lie Had Been in Public Life Since 1860. Worcester, Mass.,' Sept. 30. George Krisbie Hoar, senior United States sen ator from Massachusetts, died at his Ml I Senator George F. Hoar, Who Died Last Niffht. home in this city at 1:35 this morning. The end followed a period of uncon actousnass that had continued since early Tuesday, and came so gently thai only the attending physicians were aware of the exact moment of dissolu tion. The attending physicians despair ed of the senator's life six weeks ago, but such was the vitality exhibited by their distinguished patient that eve.) they were surprised and the public was at times led to cherish faith in an ulti mate recovery. On Sunday last, however, all hopes was abandoned after a last unsuccess ful attempt to administer medicine and nourishment. Brief lucid intervals were followed by longer durations of unconsciousness until Tuesday morn ing, when the venerable statesman sank into a state of coma from which all efforts to rouse him proved futile. The tolling of the bells of the church towers and fire stations of Worcester communicated to his fellow citizens the intelligence of the passing of Senator Hoar. The people of Worcester, to whom Senator Hoar was endeared in a measure beyond that ever given to any other man, anxiously followed the course of his sickness for six weeks, and hundreds of calls on the telephone had been made daily at the newspaper offices by persons who desired to hear the latest news from the bedside. The state of profound stupor which was indication of the approach of death embraced the senator for 40 hours. Yes terday he became as weak as he could be and live with the pulse and respira tion so faint that they could be de tected only by the physician. Dr. War ren R. Gilman, the medical attendant said that so slight a thing as pulling the clothing on the Tied would have been sufficient to take away enough strength to cause death. The patient had expressed the wish early in his ill ness that he might die peacefully and without a struggle. Such a death came to him. Besides Dr. Gilman, the senator's two children, Rockwood Hoar and Miss Mary Hoar, were at the bedside until the end. K. W. Doherty. the messenger of the committee on judiciary of the senate, of which Mr. Hoar was chair man, came to Worcester yesterday to be with the senator in his last hours. Harly in the week Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, an intimate friend, came from Boston, but was not admitted to the sick chamber, nor was Senator Henry Cabot Lodge admitted when he called on Wednesday. The physician was afraid lest the least commotion would have a fatal effect. His Relation to Worcester. Senator Hoar was inseparably identi fied with the interests of Worcester. He was the principal in establishing a free public library and later a reading room. He was foremost in placing the i m n 1 1 nun i ti i m 1 1 imtiNt"H"H"H' Stand Up For Topeka, and while you are standing ask yourself whether, in making your clothing purchases price and quality being equal you prefer to give your preference to tlie one clothing store that is strictly a Topeka institution, owned and operated solely by Topeka, Shawnee county, Vnited States of America people.

He was a warm friend of Clark university, being first its vice president and at the death of Jonas G. Clark, its head. Mr. Hoar became president of the board of trus tees, a position be held until his death. For many years he was trustee of Lei cester academy. The Worcester Art seciety and the Worcester club were founded by his efforts. He was an honorary life member of the Worcester Mechanics' association and member of the Republican club of Massachusetts. He was the oldest member saving two of the American Society of Antiquity. He also held membership in the New England Genealogk-r? society, was a former president of the Ameiican His torical society and was active in the Massachusetts Historical society. Senator Hoar was a trustee of the Peabody trust fund for the promotion of education in the south. He was regent of the Smithsonian institution at Washington and was prominent in the Unitarian church. During the day hundreds of messages of condolence were received at the family residence, The funeral will be held Monday from the church of the Unity, and Rev. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the United States senate, will be asked to officiate. Tributes to Senator Hoar were ut tered by prominent men of this city and vicinity. Sketch of His Life. George Frisbie Hoar was born at Concord, Mass., August 29, 1826. the son of Samuel and Sarah Hoar. He gradu ated from Harvard university in 1846, and then from Dane Law school. The LL. D. degree was later conferred upon him in an honorary way by William and Mary college, Amherst, Yale, Har vard and Dartmouth. He was man led twice, first to Mary Louisa Spurr, and then to Ruth Miller. Senator Hoar was in public life from 1S60 to the hour of his death. After practicing law for a time at Worcester he was made city attorney, and then member of the Massachusetts nouse of representatives. His next honor was to be made state senator. In 1896 he was sent to congress and served in the low er house until 1877. He was one of the participants on the part of the house in the Balknap impeachment trial. In 1876 he was a member of the Republi can electoral commission. The next year he was sent to the United States sen ate. His present term would have ex pired in 1907. In 1880 he was made a regent at the Smithsonian institution. He was a, member of many historical and scientific societies. His home was at Worcester, Mass. Public Service. Whether by accident or design, three distinguished members of the United States senate had seats together in the second row on the Republican side of the chamber some 12 years ago. I hey were descendants of a common ances tor of the Revolutionary period, and were some times known as the "Great Cousjns" John Sherman, William Max well Evarts, and George Frisbie Hoar. Perhaps it is not impertinent to re mark that John C. Calhoun might have gleaned some of his state s rights views from s,ome of the preachments of that ancestor, Roger Sherman. George F. Hoar was a statesman and an eminent one. He was not of the ol der of Richelieu, or Chatham, or Bis marck, who could say, and perhaps not with truth, the whole truth "Oh, Abner, I fear God, and nothing besides." But he was rather of the order of Burke, or Webster, or Calhoun, who could say with truth, with the whole truth, what Plato said: "We may endeavor to persuade our fellow citizens, but it is not lawful to force them even to that which is best for them." Senator Hoar was a man of thought, not of action, a speculative statesman rather than a constructive. He has been a conspicuous figure to the na tional councils for a third of a century; but his name is associated conspicuously with none of the great measures of that period, other than as an accomplished debater, an erudite scholar, a learned jurist, a consummate master of his mother tongue, and a sincere lover of his country and his fellowmen. The Forty-fourth congress is famous for its able statesmen and renowned debaters. There were giants in those days. Who can forget the moat brilliant parliamen tary engagement of the post-bellum per iod between Benjamin H. Hill and L. Q. C. Lamar against James G. Blaine and James A. Garfield, with amnesty and the "bloody shirt" for theme? It was the congress that retrenched expenses, that investigated Blaine, that created the elec toral commission, that Impeached the secretary of wcr. Though overwhelming ly Democratic, the house appointed Geo. F. Hoar one of the managers of that Im peachment. The accused had for counsel the very elite of the American bar Black, Carpenter and Blair and the trial was second to but one of our state pageants, if we may so name it, and it i only truth to say that the most vivid memory of that trial, the finest thing connected with it, the one beautiful classic in that abundance of eloquent speech, is the clos ing sentences of George F. Hoar's speech summing up for the accusers. It has sur vived all else of that imposing specta cle. During the life of that congress Mr. Hoar was one of the commission that de cided the disputed presidential election of 1876. He voted with the majority, and the Democratic "cardinal principle of state sovereignty" prevailed to seat a Republican president. Never did the irony of politics go; farther. One or the greatest political convoca tions of history was the Republican na tional convention at Chicago in 1880. Mr. Hoar was a member of that body and was chosen to preside over its delibera tions. It was a splendid tribute to the man, a testimony to his parliamentary skill, high personal character, and judi cial rectitude. The wavering balance was rightly adjusted. His was a clear head, his a tranquil breast, in that arena of hu man ambitions and human passions. The grandeur of Conkling's wonderful elo quence, the splendor of Garfield's perfect sentences, moved him not. No doubt he had a choice among those suggested for that first political station of the world: but it was never apparent in his speech or conduct as president of that brilliant assembly. To have presided over such a body is a testimony of the most exalted citizenship. MARGRAVEJS DEAD. Oldest Justice in Kansas Dies After Fifty Years' Service. Fort Scott, Kan., Sept 30. Judge William Margrave, who had been Jus tice of the peace here fifty years, lack ing only three months, died last even ing. He was distinguished by pro nounced eccentricities. A few years ago E. F. Ware, now pension commis sioner, after years of acquaintance with Judge Margrave had a life-sized oil painting made of him and sent it to the state library at Topeka, where it now hangs. Judge Margrave was said to be the oldest office holder in point of continuous service in the same office in the United States. William Margrave was born in Gas conade, now Osage county, Missouri, February 17, 1818. and saw the first steamboat that ever went up the Mis souri river. At the age of 15 he moved to Jasper county, and lived near Carthage. On November 7. 1854, he went to Fort Scott. In that same year he was commissioned by Governor An drew H. Reeder as the first justice of the peace of Kansas territory. For a numDer or years ne served m the ca pacity of clerk of the court, probate judge .police judge and Justice at the same time. Justice William Margrave of Fort Scott, Who Died Last Night, His first commission as Justice is dated December 5, 1854. He was a stanch Republican, but it was the cus tom for all parties to nominate him each campaign. When one of the op posing parties varied from this prac tice the candidate against him was overwhelmingly defeated. He was the first member of the Bourbon county bar and was a lawyer of recognized ability, his age having had no effect upon his mental vigor. C. E. Cory of Fort Scott, writing of Judge Margrave a few years ago, said: Every lawyer now practicing at the Bourbon county bar received his first practical lesson in procedure from Judge Margrave. There are two somewhat remark able features connected with his ca reer. The first is that for fifteen or twenty years no man or set of men or party has dared to nominate or run- anybody against him. The second is that he has never fined or imprisoned any one for a personal contempt. I don't mean to say that he has never punished anybody for such contempt, but what I mean is that he always in such cases executed his own process either with an ink bottle or his fist. I don't know whether the judge would now attempt to act the part of a peace officer in his own court or not, but for one I should not care to make tne test as he is yet a little too vigorous to tackle on such a proposition. A handsome oil painting, a portrait of Judge William Margrave, owned by Eugene F. .Ware, has been loaned, to the Topeka public library, and it hangs on the north wall of the reading room on the second floor. Hanging underneath the painting is the original commission appointing him to be justice of the peace. The docu ment was entirely written by hand and is en a heavy blue tinted paper. It is signed by the then territorial governor. Andrew J. Reeder. The seal occupies the upper left hand corner. Beside the frame with the commis sion is another frame which contains a printed story written by E. F. Ware and which was printed in the newspa pers under a Fort Scott date line, giv- ng a detailed biography of Judge .Mar grave together with several interesting anecdotes of the unique character. The following 6imple Inscription is attached to the big oil painting of Judge Margrave:-- Portrait or Judge William Margrave, of Fort Scott, Kansas. Was apopinted justice of the peace in 1854, before Kansas was divided up into counties. Has held the office ever since and has tried since that time 14,- 294 lawsuits. Loaned by Eugene F. Ware. 1901.

Politics and neighborhood dlsputs In Menoken township are keeping County Clerk Newman busy hearing com plaints about the payment ot taxes. .So far these complaints have brought into the Shawnee county treasury $2.40 in one case and the expense of summoning witnesses in that one case has amounted to about $15. The bal ance is on the wrong side of the ledjrer. The complaints from Menoken township hnve been made to Newman by Grant Kelsey and J. V. Cochran. 'Howell was avoiding a Just payment -f taxes. From a letter written by Kelsey it appears that his concern about Howell's taxes arose over an ob jection he tiled to the toad in front of Howell's farm being graded as it might drain flood water to the neigh borhood of hH farm. Kelsey objected to the fact that Kd Ward, trustee of Menoken township, allowed Howell to grade the road In front of his place and to use some of the dirt to fil in a low place in his barnyard. Kelsey. who is a neighbor of Howell, wrote the following letter to Ward, who was trustee and also assessor: North Topeka, Kan.. Aug. 4. 1904. Mr. K. A. Ward: Tou can avoid tin Immediate law suit by lowering the box recently put in by Mr. Howell and extending the ditch from the box to my west line on my side of the road. I was at the court house yesterday look ing up your way of doing business. I find I have a dead cinch on you In more ways than one. You will remem ber the conversation we had in the pres ence of my wife on or about the first of March. 1903. I find that Howell paid taxes that year on 1,500 bushels of corn. He sold on March 11, 1903. 2,000 bushels tf corn. On September 8. 1903, 1.503 bushels of corn. March 1, 1904. he gave In 600 bushels of corn. He had on Feb ruary 27 a credit of $1,027.37 worth of corn. Has since sold more corh and has more corn to sell. You are well aware ef the fact that he had 5.000 bushels of corn last year.

Should you prefer to stand suit I can assure you that action will commence at once. Will promise. Mr. Howell that should he see fit to continue his treat ment toward me that I will see that he pays the tax dodger's penalty and face the humiliation of the occasion. Yours respectfully, GRANT K. KELSEY. County Clerk Newman today deliver ed his findings In tne Howell case, find -ing that Howell failed to pay taxes on $100 worth of property. Howell had $200 on hand March 1. He owned that amount end as he was about to pay it he did not return it, thinking that he was right in doing so. The findings made by Newman are,: "In the matter of the Investigation and rearing of the complaint filed against Ambrose Howell by one Grant Kelsey. charging said Ambrose Howell with having failed to give a correct statement of his personal property to the township assessor for the years 1903 and 1904 as to the personal property owned by him on the 1st day of March of each of said years, held before me as county clerk of Shawnee county, Kan sas, on the 21st day of September, 1904. "After careful and impartial consid eration of all the evidence adduced I make the following findings of fact: "First That said Ambrose Howell had sold the 3.500 bushels of corn com plained of In this investigation to the Forbes Pros.' elevator prior to the 1st day of March. 1903. to-wit: on the day of February, 1903, and that while said corn was in the possession of the said Ambrose Howell it was the person al property of the said Forbes Bros. elevator company, and was listed by them in tneir personal property state ment to the assessor as their property: and that the 1.50O bushels of corn listed with said assessor was the correct amount on hand, except five bushels. Second That In the year 1904 the said Ambrose Howell had sold all corn that he grew upon his farm or belonged to him that year prior to the 1st day of March, 1904, except the amount given 613-615 KAN3.AVC. i EliW il TIE We know we We are not looking for tig profits.

A. NKWMAIV, County Clerk of Shawnee County, Kansas." Today Newman continued the hear ing- of the complaint made by Cochran against the Midland Elevator company of Kiro. The assessment or tne iwia land was made by Ward. Up w.two vears aeo Cochran was townshio trus tee for four years, ward was eiecteu two vears nro. Cochran is expected to be a candidate for trustee against Ward this year. Cocnran complained tnat tne Miaiana did not return the correct average amount of grain on hand for the past two years. The evidence ne gave was that last year the company handled about 60,000 bushels of corn and the year before 100,000- He said he got his fisrures by going into tne orcice oi m elevator and looking over the books while the agent was absent, the testi monv Eriven from the books of the com pany was that the assessor found about the correct average stfCK. This afternoon County uierK iew man dismissed tne compiaini aguiusi the Midland Elevator company for not navimr tax. He said the evidence showed that the company had only 2, 600 bushels of corn on hand when they paid taxes on 4,000. COMES TO AX EXD. Final Session of Vnlversal Congress of lawyers and Jurists. St. Louis. Mo.. Sept. 30. The pro gram arranged for the Universal Con gress of Lawyers and Jurists which has been in session ai r eisiivai ua.ii on tne worlds iair Krounus muvc Wednesday, was completed today. Th interest awakened by the 5iS' cussions and theories of law advanced hv the noted Jurists or tnis ana lor- eisrn countries was enhanced rather than lessened by the fact that it was the closing session.

Sheridan, 260 students and many residents of the .suburb of Lake Forest, several In automobiles, began early today to search the woods for 15-year-old Francis Parkhurst, miss ing from Ferry hall, the girls' school connected with Lake Forest college. She disappeared In the morning, but was not missed until evening. When last seen she was walking toward one of the ravines that leads to the lake shore. The body of the lost girl was finally found in Lake Michigan. Apparently she had committed suicide. WON 'T CONFER WITH STRIKERS. Railroad Officials Deny Making Any Peace Overtures. The published report that the high traffic officials of the Santa Fe who were in Topeka this week held a con ference with some of the striking ma chinist leaders, seems to have been without foundation. "The Santa Fe railroad," said an official of the company this morning, "will never treat with the striking ma chinists. The rank and file of the machinists seem to have come to that conclusion and have begun to realize that their cause is lost, and have lost heart in their movement. The rumor was undoubtedly started by some of the leaders whose aim it was to try and inspire courage in the minds of the strikers who have become luke warm.' As we have repeatedly said be fore, there is no inconvenience expe rienced in the operation of our trains which would indicate that a strike ex isted on our road." CROKER NEAR DEATH.

Diehlmann of the Excelsior Coke Gas company, filed with the city clerk their acceptance in writing of the new gas franchise, and deposited with the city clerk a check on the Merchants' National bank for $10,000. The time for the filing of the acceptance will not expire until next Wednesday. The acceptance is in the following terms: "Topeka, Kan., Sept. 28, 1904. "By virtue of authority vested in me by the Excelsior Coke Gas company of Topeka. I do hereby for and on be half of said company, and said com pany does hereby accept the proviS' ions, terms and conditions of ordi nance No. 252 5 of the city of Topeka which was passed August 1, 1904, and passed over the mayor's veto Septem ber 5. 1904. entitled 'An ordinance granting the Excelsior Coke Gas company of Topeka, Kan., its succes sors and assigns, the use or tne streets, avenues, alleys and public grounds for gas mains and laterals to be used in supplying the city of Topeka and its inhabitants with artificial or manu factured gas for light and heat and other purposes and fixing the maxi mum rate for the sale of said gas. "THE EXCELSIOR COKE GAS COMPANY, OF TOPEKA. "J. T. CLARK Vice President. "Attest: P. J, DIEHLMANN, Secy." The S10.000 cash was deposited to corn- comply with the terms of the franchise ordinance which are as follows: Said Excelsior Coke and (las com pany shall at or prior to the time of the acceptance of this ordinance deposit with the citv treasurer of said city the sum of $10,000, the conditions of which deposit shall be as follows: i.r tne said company shall fail to commence the work of improvement and extension as hereinbefore provided, within three months from the taking effect of this ordinance, or shall fail to expend the sum of $175,000 in said work of improve ment and extension within 18 months from the time of commencing said work then the said $10,000 shall thereupon be returned to said company." Thre is still $2,500 to be paid over to the city by the company to apply on the costs in the dollar gas litigation. President Holliday said today: .lust as soon as. our attorneys ana tne city's attorneys can get together with the TJ. S. court officials and figure out how much the costs are, and get the utio-atinn settled ud. we are ready to pay over the $2,500. The money is ready, and if the city does not think we are trnnd for it. thev can get it right away." Mr. Wollidav was asked when work on the proposed improvements will commence. "Instanter," Was his reply. We have already let the Contracts for the ma terial in the east. The work will be done here by Topeka labor. It will not be let by contract, but tne com nanv itself will be in direct charge." "Will the company accept the amendments which were passed to the eras franchise?" "We can't accept those until they become a law and are published, said Mr. Holliday. "But you can be sure that we will accept them. One thing about the aceptance filed today is worthy of especial notice. It is not signed by President tioinaay, but by Vice President J. T. Clark, one of the founders of the Topeka Gas company, who is the nominal holder of considerable stock. "Why didn't you sign the accept ance?" was asked of Mr. Holliday. "Oh, we thought it would be better for Mr. Clark to sign it," replied the Second ward councilman. "I am a good fellow to rustle around and do the work, but when it comes to a thing like this we thought it would be ap propriate for Mr. Clark to sign it. He has been interested in the company for a long time." Mr. Holliday stated that he is still the president of the company. It is likely that Mr.- Holliday's name does not appear on the acceptance for two reasons; either because of political considerations, or else because the at torneys for the gas company feared that it might in some way prejudice their franchise to have it appeaar that C. K. Holliday, the president of the company, was also a member of the city council. Mayor Bergundthal and several other city officials question the right of Mr. Holliday to vote on the fran chise question, because of his connec tion with the company. The law makes it a serious offense for a coun cilman to vote for any contract in which he is interested. The franchise is a contract. Mr. Holliday's claim is that he has no real financial interest in the gas company. If Mr. Holliday did not have a right to vote, it is high ly probable that the ordinance would be invalidated, for it would have lack ed sufficient votes to carry it over the mayor's veto. The amendments to the gas fran chise, which were passed after the franchise was passed, and which the gas company cannot be compelled to accept unless they so desire, will not become law until October 5. They were passed on September 5, and have not been signed by the mayor. The mayor says he will not veto them, be cause that would give the gas com pany an excuse for refusing to accept them. He will allow them to become law without his signature. They will become law on October 5, after which they will be published. It will then be up to the gas company to accept them if they want to. Some of the amend ments are of doubtful value to the city, though they are probably harm less. For Rural Route Carriers, $74,000. On Saturday the Topeka postofflce will begin its regular monthly distri bution of $74,000 to the 1,300 rural route carriers in Kansas, for their ser vices during the month of September.

How would you like to wake up some morning next week and find that Chief Stahl, the warrior who has been fight ing rebels, Indians, cuckleburrs and joints all his life, had secumbed to the razor of a "nigger" assassin, and was no longer in our midst? That is what may happen. Just read this: September 2704 Chelf Stall "you had better quit your Job if you dont want to be assinated. I am a rnger, and hired to do the Job by Oc tober first but will wait five more days yours A Niger He's on Chief Stahl's Trail. Think of it, "feller citizens," imagine some coal-colored smoke sneaking up on our beloved chief while he is enjoy ing a portrait of himself in the evening paper see him cut down, whiskers and all, in the prime of life and cold blood! One. or two for that matter, may notice, by the peculiar twitch of his luxuriant mustache, that the Chief is apprehensive. No doubt he will oil up the double-barreled shotgun he' carries in the rearmost compartment or his Sunday trousers, and be prepared to sell his life dearly. The Chief has the letter of warning on exnibition at his office, corner of Fifth and Jackson. Last night was a little damp for bur glars. Early in the evening, probably because he saw a storm coming, and didn't want tt be caught out in the wet, the Town Burglar called on Attorney Eugene Hagan, of Eleventh and Van Buren. Mr, and Mrs. Hagan were en tertaining a visitor in the parlor, when when they neard a noise down cellar. The "gum-shoe" party had accidental ly kicked a heater pipe and the noise was distinctly conveyed to those above. While Mr. Hagan was telephoning for the police, turning on the basement lights and searching the house for his revolver the marrauder decided that moving time did not always come in March. So, when Dusenberry" and oth ers arrived under a full head of eteam they were entirely too late. Dusenberry and Others Hurry Out to Catch a Burglar. There was also a slight disturbance at Dr. Munn's residence, caused by some one who tampered with a door and at tracted the attention of the family. There were no symptoms of a burglar when the officers arrived. The Wed nesday nie-ht burglar was at Monte Campbell's home. Mr. Campbell has been burgled once this season, and should be exempt from further moles tation, but a robber got in and stole his watch and a pair jji suppers. Residents of the west side are re auested to be a little careful about shooting with intent. For the last few nights Chief Stahl has stationed officers around the west residence dis trict, and they do not like to be Ehot at. On the other hand, orncers are reauested to refrain from shooting -at the boys who deliver the morning papers.

Dusenberry said he saw it when still two blocks away, and it was on the sidewalk. The defense should have introduced a number of willing witnesses to prove that Dusen berry can't see two blocks at one stretch, even on a clear day, but failed to do so, and the conviction followed. The manufacturing gentleman was reasonably sure that the old pony, which has been a pet of the younger Mr. Gavitt for the past 25 years, had in no way infringed on the sidewalk ordinance, so they took an appeal to the district court. Last night two of the Greek "Shin- eros" at a Greek shining parlor, de cided to beat up Peyton Miller, an American.

Convention at Wichita Undecided How to Act.' Wichita, Kan., Sept. 30. The question of whether or not the state W. C. T. U. will accept the building in Topeka do nated by Mrs. Carrie Nation was left un decided at the meeting yesterday after noon. The matter was taken up at 3 o'clock. There was a lengthy discussion on the subject. The sunnorters or trie proposition argued that it would enable the union to edu cate young women and send them over the state to do temperance work. Mrs. Nation in offering the building did so on the condition that it be controlled by a board of managers composed of members of the Prohibition party. As the W. C. T. XT. s a non-partisan organization tne op position contend that it would be uncon stitutional to accept the gift under such a condition. The expense of operating the school was also given as a reason why the building should not be accepted. Mrs. Nation, who offered the building. was present and addressed the conven tion concerning the gift. Check to Tobacco Merger. Trenton. N. J- Sept. 30.

Their points were enthusiastically applauded and the meeting was considered a success from every point of view. Mr. Crow presided- The Spokane theater proved Incapa ble of accommodating more than a fraction of the people who were in the streets and anxious to hear the viaitin? senators. It therefore became necessary to organize an overflow meeting. This was held at Elks' hall and was weil attended. Marked enthusiasm characterized both meetings.

It is imperative that we have their space for Fall and Winter goods now in transit.. We strongly advise all those who are looking for genuine bargains to be here Saturday. 619 Kansas 5 Saturday, and- piled them Choic It is a great showing, and at -t lOUl paper. Mr. Howard's letter is as fol lows: -To the Editor of the Eagle: "The Kansas City Journal is very ac tive in its work against the Federation of Commercial Interests in Kansas, a non-partisan organization organized by and under the control of representative citizens of Kansas, fully two-thirds of whom are and, always have been. Re publican in politics, and all are engaged in active business pursuits in his state. "If Wichita has taken more interest in the matetr than other cities or com munities, it is because it is the largest interior city in the state, and its busi ness men, well organized, are alive to the commercial necessity of fighting for conditions which promise growth and prosperity to Wichita and all the sur rounding territory. "In plain language, the newspaper correspondent or editor in Topeka or Kansas City who controls the Kansas Cily Journal and who impunss the Federation with the motive of working lor cut rates, rebates or any other un lawful advantage over any citizen or shipper of Kansas, is making a stren uous effort to misstate the facts, and 1 defy him to produce any evidence to support his allegations. That there may be among several hundred citizens and shippers affiliated with the Federation some few individuals who have in the past received favors from the railroads is true, and that some in the past and more in the future may be brought to see the railroad side of the question in a more favorable light by that subtle, silent influence, the railroad pass, goes without saying. We deny most emphatically that the Federation movement is supported or controlled by these indivfduals. or is being kept alive and furnished with the sinews of war by them or by anyone from any such motive. "The railroad attorney who rushed Into print some time &v the Kan sas City Journal and as called down by those higher in authority, and who afterward published a partial retrac tion of the falsehood, is raising more trouble for the railroads in Kansas politics than was ever laid at the door of Mary "lien Lease. "The people have the sovereign right to control the railroads. This right is undisputed by Mr. Paul Morton and other prominent railroad men. The only point in dispute by the people who write and talk intelligently on the railroad Question is the extent of con trol that shall be surrendered by the railroads and assumed by the state or United States government. All the counts in this country have held time and time a train that the people, through the legislature, have the pow er to make rates and classifications, and that this power was supreme and could not be questioned, unless it was the extent to which it went was in itself confiscatory. "Just why there should be at this time such a strenuous effort made by some of the Republican papers in Kansas to deprive -the people of their sovereign risht is hard to be under stood on any other grounds than that the railroads have an undue influence over certain individuals who are try ing to control the Republican party against its best judgment. The Texas railroad law gives tne power Inherent Jn the people to a commission that governs and controls the railroads, makes rates and classi fications. The people of Kansas are not clamoring for a maximum freight bill to be made by the legislature. They are asking for a railroad law that gives the commission ;ower to make rates and classifications, the same as is done in Texas and other states. "That Texas rates in certain cases are higher than those of Kansas may be true. We admit that the schedule of I rates made public by the El Dorado Re- THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1W4.

Positively never sold less than 50c; our sale price for tomorrow, 4fo each O Q0 A Q UJ.TU kH m t"a II Till i publican can be made up from publish ed reports and tariffs in force in Texas and Kansas, and we further admit that tiguies don't lie, but liars do figure, and in this case it seems they are past masters of the art. "The figures in this schedule are taken from Texas tariffs on products and live stock moving to trade centers or ter minal markets. The Kansas figures are based on traffic moving from one point to another in the state and not to ter minal markets. Probably not five per cent of the traffic is moved on this basis. "Of course every one knows that the editor of the El Dorado Republican would not know these facts, and he simply took a schedule delivered to him by those representing the railroads who had been turned down by the Topeka and Emporia papers, and they finally found a willing tool in him, well know ing that he did not know a railroad tariff from the roadbed. There is not a reputable railroad officer in the whole state who dares, over his own signa ture, defend the publication of that schedule as being a fair and honest rep resentation of the facts. "The people of Kansas have a right through the legislature to make rates and classifications and to give the peo ple the needed relief and to furnish them a foi rm before which they can go for the relit" of their grievances. "The people pusjjing this movement know no such th?g as failure, and they believe it ii; probable that victory can be gained in ?he coming election. They have the courage of their convic tions and are receiving funds from over the state to keep up the work, three fourths of which come from Republi cans, and the good work will go on and on, notwithstanding the slurs and slings that are made by the opposition press. "Under the authority of the federa tion a bill for the control of railroads has been prepared by Judge F. L. Mar tin of Hutchinson and A. E. Helm of Wichita, which bill has been printed for distribution to all those who feel an Interest in the matter and ask for it. "The business interests of the state, as now represented by the federation, will be in evidence in Topeka this win ter and those politicians who are so ac tive now circulating false reports against the federation and training with the opposition, may have to line up yet and answer to their constitu ents for their actions. 'Those who laugh last laugh best.' "Respectfully submitted to a critical public. "J. E. HOWARD, "Member State Legislative Committee." m Jail Escape Canght. Lawrence. Kan.. Sept. 3o.

Republican Factions in Delaware Fail to Reach a Compromise. Wilmington. Del., Sept. 30. The warring factions of the Republican party in Delaware made a vain effort to effect a compromise on a state ticket, both the Dupont or regular Republicans and the Addicks or union Republicans having held their con ventions and nominated separate tick ets with the exception of presidential electors, which are the same. The hitch is over the choice of a candidate for governor, each faction insisting that it shall have the naming of the candidate. Recently the regulars made a propo sition that each side withdraw its ticket and that the regulars submit the names of five men from which the unions mipht select one as the candidate of both factions for gov ernor. The state committees of both fac tions met here and endeavored to reach an agreement. After each com mittee had met separately, subcommit tees were appointed to confer. Each subcommittee in turn presented a list of names from which the other might select a candidate for governor. Both propositions were rejected. The union committee then offered to hold a joint primary election through out the state Cor the purpose of allow ing the voteris to decide the disputed question, both factions to abide by the result. The Regulars said this could not be done, as another primary elec tion would be in violation of the law. The union meii's answer to this pro test was that the primary would be merely to learn the will of the voters so as to guide the committee in mak ing up the ticket. The regulars would not accept the proposition. There was no further exchange of propositions, and both committees adjourned.

Captain Relates His Experience While Prisoner of the Russians. Astoria, Ore., Sept. 30. The Ori ental liner Arabia of the Portland Asiatic line, has arrived in Portland from far eastern points. The Arabia was captured by the Russian "Vladivo stok squadron July 22, one hundred miles north of Yokohama. The cruis er Oromoboi brought the Arabia to a stop and three or four hundred men boarded ner. xne Arauia m ia.n.cii to Vladivostok where 65,000 sacks of flour were removed from her, 35,000 sacks being left on board. The Arabia also had on board ninety flat cars which the Russians threw into the sea. They washed ashore along the beach where they were rotting wnen the liner was finally released. "We were at Vladivostok- for 28 days," said Captain Bahle, "and there met the crews of several captured ves sels. The Russian officer showed us every courtesy and personally our re lations with them could not have been more pleasant. The Rossia and Grom- oboi were at Vladivostok wnne tne Arabia was there. I have heard that the Russians claimed both vessels had been repaired sufficiently to permit them to resume duty, but I do not be lieve this. I counted 26 gaping holes in the Rossia. All of them were near the water line and were received in battle with Admral Kamimura's fleet off the Tsu islands August 24. I se cured a photograph of the Rossia, but it disappeared from my cabin at Yo kohama. "The Rurik, one of the vessels that captured my ship, has since been sunk. We left Vladivostok August 28." Captain Bahle talked wtih many Russian officers at Vladivostok and all seemed cheerful. When the succes sive Japanese victories were referred to the Russian laughed, saying the Japanese could not always be success ful and that Russia would ultimately win. At Yokohama the Japanese were celebrating the victory of Liao Yang when the Arabia arrived. Opportunities. nnnA oDenines for all lines of business and trade in new towns.

Champ Tells of Failure to Reach the America. London, Sept. 30 W. S. Champ, secre tary to Wm. Ziegler of New York and who was in charge of the expedition sent to search for the Arctic explora tion steamer America, will sail for New York on board the White Star line steamer Cedric. On his arrival in the United States he will report to Mr. Ziegler the details of the two attempts of the Frlthjof to reach Franz Joself land for the relief of the America, Mr. Champ stated to the Asssociated Press that the next relief expedition will leave in June, 1905. Describing the at tempt after leaving Vardo, Norway, on August 6, Mr. Champ said the Frithofl first encountered tremendous gales. Af ter meeting with an ice pack she steam ed as rapidly as possible until she reached almost 79 degrees or norm lati tude, when drift ice drove her back. After endeavoring to find another pas sage the Frithoff was obliged, on Sep tember 14, to give up the attempt as new ice was forming of a thickness of seven inches in 24 hours. Mr. Champ said it was just possible that the America might be able to re lease herself during October, but prob ably she would not be heard from until next year. He believed, however, that the members of the expedition were amply supplied with provisions and other necessaries, and that there was no reason for much anxiety concerning them. The steamer America, which was fit ted out for Arctic exploration at the expense of and under the direction of Mr. ziegier entered lc aiui; t-m. mnre than a vear ago. and since the beginning of September, 1903, no word has been reecived from the vessel. The America, sailed under the command of Anthony Fiala whose plan was to form a secondary base in Prince Rudolphland, after sailing across to Franz Josefland, and from there follow an overland route to the pole. The esumatea cis tance is a little more than six hundred miles and the explorer hoped to ac complish the journey in about seventy days. He had with him a party of 35 men. REI-LEY AFTER DAMAGES.
