Ohio State Republican Conven tion .Meets at Columbus. V'ith 1,100 Delegates Present to Name State Ticket. A KEY NOTE SPEECH. Is Made by Secretary of War as Temporary Chairman. Discusses Railroad Legislation and Treasury Deficit. Columbus, O., May 24. The Re publicans of Ohio were represented by more than 1,100 delegates whgi the state convention to nominate governor and other state officers was called to order this afternoon, while the big auditorium was well filled with others who had been attracted by the fact that Secretary of War Taft as tem porary chairman was to deliver the opening speech in this year's political campaign. The preliminaries of or ganization were speedily gone through, John Malloy being chosen temporary secretary and William F. Goss ser geant at arms. Secretary Taft said in part: Fellow Republicans of Ohio: I congratulate you on the prosperous! political calm in which you meet. The j tremendous victory of last fall so. stunned our ancient enemy, the Dem ocratic party, that it as a party is j hardly even now showing signs of life. When a president' like Theodore j Roosevelt, a consistent and orthodox Republican, is welcomed with bursts of enthusiastic admiration in Texas, and in the Democratic Iroriuois club of Chicago, we may well liken the present to the era of political good feeling which prevailed early in the last century." The secretary rapidly sketched the attitude of the Republican party on the currency question since 1896, re ferred to the Spanish war and its re sults and then said: "In the campaign of 1904 the Demo cratic managers ignored the fact that It ever had been in favor of free silver ani sought to make the choice of issue the personality of Theodore Roosevelt. -Against him. they charged imperial ism, militarism, usurpation of power, violations of the constitution, a dan gerous foreign policy of intermeddling and an attempt to introduce a per sonal government." This the secretary said brought in review the action of the president in various matters which he pointed out, norably the recognition of the republic of Panama, the settlement of the an thracite coal strike, the bringing -of the Northern Securities suit, and his Philippine policy. "It made manifest," the secretary continued, "the consistent, attitude of Mr. Roosevelt in that he was neither a plutocrat nor a 'mobocrat.' How Democrats Were Left. "The managers of the Democratic party," he said, in the last campaign had begun, "as friends of certain Wali street's interests but as the campaign shaped itself even the kings of the street refused to put their money on a 'beaten horse' and withdrew from the contest, leaving the poor Democratic leaders wallawing in the 'slough of desponds' into which their pusillani mous course had led them." Spcretary Taft then referred to the Democratic charges of corruption asainst the president and the chairman of the Republican national committee and to the outburst of indignat denial" from the president which the secretary said should serve as a lesson to those tempted to calumny at a campaign's end. The secretary said that the interstate commerce law had accomplished much but that inequality and injustice re mained. Discussing the proposed rem edial bill as it passed the house of representatives the secretary said it "attempts to give more power to the railroad commission so that its order when made shall be effective until set' afide by judicial hearing. It does not as yet," he said, "provide for a general fixing of a table of rates by the com mission but only calls for a fixing of a maximum rate upon complaint of with respect with specified instance of injustice. It seems a moderate meas ure, calculated to give the added power to the commission necessary to effec tiveness is remedying specific wrongs in rates without creating an all powerful tribunal which shall in advance take away from railways the power of rate making and of elastically responding to varying conditions. It will not thus paralyze individual effort in meeting the changing demands of trade. We can certainly trust our law givers to re spond to the popular demand and to regulate the railways so far as they ought to be regulated, without interfer ing with tta control, over their own property and with that motive for ef ficiency and economic management which ar? still required to make suc cessful the enormous business of rail way transportation in America. This question must be settled by the Re publicans. The Treasury Deficit. Secretary Taft discussed the deficit in the revenues and said the Republi cans must provide a suitable means of avoiding a real and permanent short age of cash if next year witnesses a repetition of the deficit. In this connec tion, he said: "It may be that congress will succeed in cutting down here and there so as to reduce the deficit, but the experience cf this last session in which the greatest effort to economize was made, gives lit tle hope that if the revenues continue 8t the same figure as last year, the ap propriations may be cut down to a point where no deficit would exist. Are the people in favor of cutting down the naval or army estimate? I think I hear No' from one end of the country to the other. Certainly the Democratic party heard that 'no' in no uncertain tr.nes. "Shall we cut down the pensions? No party has the hardihood to suggest th.-t. "There remain two alternatives, either to impose additional internal taxes or to readjust and revise the tariff. We Pave repealed the war taxes which af forded a. large revenue and the eight yeirs of the present Dingley tariff have Feen in this country a prosperity !-vei tt-fore witnessed in the civilised wurld. If the deficit continues in serious imount, then in one way or the other, (ither our taxation on imports or our Bternal revenue system, must be changed to meet thi shortage, with ev ery effort to cause the minimum cf business disturbance. "A congress of the "United States has been el-cted which wili meet regularlj the first of December, possibly earlier by the call of the president, before which the issue of regulation of railroad rales and the method of meeting the deficit must come for decision." Sail Domingo. "Nearly at our doors in the Carib bean sea, in the control of which we necessarily have an anxious interest, is one government, weakened by revolu tion and insurrection, tottering to a fall. Burdened by a debt whose face value is far beyond the means of the country to pay, it has turned to the United States for assistance in settle ment with its creditors. Assuring the world and the state of San Domingo that the United States has no selfish purpose of aggrandizement in inter vening, the president concluded a treaty by which, if ratified, San Do mingo will go into the hands of the United States as a receiver. The treaty was not confirmed at the last session of the senate because there were not enough Republicans present to do so. As all of the powers of Europe acquiesce in approving it, it seems certain that its provisions are so equitable and its necessity so great that at the next session of the senate it will be confirmed. "Some difference of opinion appears as to the extent of the Monroe doctrine. The president insists that if the Uni ted States is to become responsible to Kurope for the good conducts of the governments of Central and South those governments when it demands that they put their houses in order and so avoid the just, complaints of Eur opean powers. "The Monroe doctrine is difficult to maintain all events and if we assert it as we do. we should accept the obli gations that follow the assertion of the right." Secretary Taft said that never before has the influence of the United States for good been greater than today, be cause it is known not to desire an in crease of territory, and because it is known that with a navy of most re spectable proportions, should It un fortunately be engaged in such a con flict, it is ready to prefect itself. "People," he continued, "are prone to say that a large navy induces bra vado, pugnacity and a recklessness of peace. In one of the South American republics, we are at present engaged in attempting to rescue tbe property of American citizens from what is said to be an unjust confiscation by the sovereign under color of judicial sanction. We have asked for arbitra tion and it has been refused and we are waiting now only until congress meets before submitting the facts to it for its consideration. Meantime we are exercising toward this republic all the foebearance that is due to a weak er nation. And so it is with the gen eral policy of Theodore Roosevelt, that while he insists upon carrying a 'big stick,' he does in fact speak softly and exercise a degree of forbearance that the confidence of strength and a righteous purpose justifies. The Philippine Tariff. "At present the tariff against the Philippines is 7 5 per cent, of the pres ent Dingley rates, and under this prac tically no imports reach the United States from the Philippine islands. The friends of the Philippines look forward to the coming session of con gress with confidence that a measure of justice will be meted out to the is lands. We shall hold the Philippines, certainly for a generation, probably for several generations, in our effort to lead the people on to education and prosperity and a knowledge or- self government, and during that time we must take those islands to our bosom, so to speak, and give them the ad vantages of a member of our family. This benefit can never exist as long as we maintain a high tariff wall be- j tween us and the islands. We have j been fortunate in having m the guber natorial chair in Ohio the last two years a clear-headed business man, who has not hesitated to cut down the appropriations presented to him in order that the credit of the state might be preserved. He has been at tacked with bitterness by well mean ing gentlemen who have- differed with him in respect to his course upon the liquor question. If I understand the situation aright, today the Ohio liquor law Is the best measure in the United States. "It is a law which leaves to the peo ple living in a community of residences the right to exclude an objectionable saloon from close proximity to them, whether in the country or in residential parts of a large city. It is moderate, it is just, it is effective." Tribute to Herrick. Continuing Secretary Taft said Gover nor Herrick had made few if any mis takes in his exercise of the veto power. He regretted that the state, county and municipal patronage had not been put on a civil service basis. The secretary concluded: "And now, my fellow Republicans, I have attempt ed to review the issues, not the issus between the Republican and Democratic parties, for the Democratic party is moribund and unable to frame issues, but the issues which in the Republican party itself have been suggested for na tional government. "I have ventured, plthough almost a stranger to the state, to touch upon one or two living state h-sups and to point out how much of credit for the satisfactory financial condition of the state is due to our governor. We are come to nominate a ticket which we may be reasonably sure will receive the support of a majority ot the voters of Ohio, but in its make-up we should not be content simply to obtain a perfunctory victory at the polls, but by the high character of the nominees we should force from the people of Ohio a real expression of continued confidence in that party which has heretofore served them so well. I thank you for the ereat honor of presiding over this convention. What is the pleasure of the convention?" SLOW TO ARRIVE. Delegates to the Ohio Republican State Convention. Columbus, O.. May 24. Because of the lack of contest in nominations and the late hour in the day set for the first session the majority of the dele gates to the Republican state conven tion did not reach the city until to day. Those who arrived yesterday in cluded a number of leaders who "con ferred until a late housover the dec laration of principles, their number being Increased during the night by the arrival of Governor Herrick. It was definitely announced that owing to the meeting of the senate interstate commerce commission and because of his health. Senator Foraker had given up his intention to be pres ent during the convention. The schedule for today includes an afternoon meeting of the state com mittee for the consideration of matters of final routine following which the arious district delegates will select their vice presidents and members of the committees. The forenoon trains brought in several hundred delegates and before noon the hotel lobbies were crowded and the citj; took, on a TO FIGHT. OUT. War to a Finish Declared by Both Sides in Chicago. All Prospects for End of Strike Have Vanished. MARTIAL LAW IN SIGHT Governor Ready to Throw State Troops Into the City. The Lumber District Is the Storm Center Today. Chicago, May 24. Industrial war with a possibility of martial law looming up in the background, describes the situa tion into which the pmparatively in cipient teamsters' strike of a few weeks ago has developed and which threat ened Chicago today. Peace prospects have faded away, along w ith the vanishing hopes of con cessions that might be made by the express companies. The express agents noiumg the key to the situation, so far as any apparent chance of settlement wa3 concerned, having refused to re treat one inch from their previously announced position, all negotiations were at an end and employers and idiuams Degan pieparing for a vigor ous campaign of indefinite length. Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Barrett were prepared to give the signal that would bring the state troops into the streets, of the city at the first indica tion of an outbreak following the new ly developed situation. Governor Deneen was ready to respond to the call at al most a second's notice. All prospects of peace in the team sters' strike have disappeared, and it will be open war from this time on. The last conference looking toward a peace able adjustment was held at 6 o'clock last night between James B. Barry, business agent of the express drivers' union, and the local managers of the seven express companies. The confer ence had been set for an early hour in the afternoon but owing to the failure of Mr. Barry to receive proper notice it was postponed until evening. When the meeting finally took place the conver sation was brief and pointed. Business Agent Barry opened the negotiations by saying: The Teamsters' Position. "Our position is this: "I want all the men reinstated except those who have been guilty of violence. 1 can not do anything different. That is what the local union wants and that is what the local officers have told me to demand. That is all I can do. The men told me that they all want to go back in a body or they don't go back at all. That is the position of the un ion and the union officials." The reply of the representatives of the. express companies was brief. It was: "Our opposition to the reinstatement of the men will be the same four years from now- as it is today. We will not take them back under any circumstan ces." This brought the conference to a close and all parties concerned In it imme diately left the city hall. As a storm center of strikes, the lum ber district of Chicago, stretching over miles of territory bordering a wilder ness of river slips and railroad tracks seemed likely today to outdo all previ ous records there for desperate strug gles between employers and wage earn ers. The lumber dealers today aggres sively transformed threatened strikes into virtual lockouts. A dozen lumber companies were quickly added to those previously involved in the ramifications of the teamsters' strike. In each case orders to deliver material to strike bound firms brought firm refusal from drivers. Discharge of the driver follow ed instantly, with quick retaliation en suing in a strike of his fellow team sters. Grand Jury Indicts Twelve. Chicago, May 24. The grand jury has indicted twelve men in connection with the death of Chas. Carlstrom, the member of the carriage makers' union who died as the result of the beating he received at the hands of thugs hired by the officials ot the union, according to their own story. The indicted men are George Met ier, formerly president of the union: Henry J. Newman, secretary: Charles J. Casey, business agent; six men of the executive committee ot tne union, and Chas. Gilhooley, Marcus Loo and Edward Felley, the three men who were hired by the officials of the union to beat men who did not go on strike or took the strikers' places. The indictments charge man slaughter and conspiracy to commit great bodily injury, tne autopsy hav ing shown that the death of Carlstrom was due directly to pneumonia. The physicians declared that the disease was probably the result of the in juries he received, but it was still not the direct cause of death and the men could not therefore be charged with murder. Lumber Business Tied X'p. The strike made idle practically all of the lumber yards in the city today. "Ninety-eight per cent of the lumber business in the city is crippled," declar ed Secretary Hooper of the Lumber men's association. "It is only a matter of a short time when that percent of the building operations of the city will cease. We are now calling on the Em plovers' association for teamsters and until we get them the building business will necessarily suffer." International President Shea of the Teamsters' union, announced his inten tion today to defv Federal Judge Kohl saat and" Master in Chancery Sherman bv persisting in refusing to answer questions at the resumption of the hearing of the alleged violation of the strike injunctions. President Shea based his determination upon the fact that to answer might tend to incrimin livelier convention appearance. Plat form discussions prevailed, combined with discussion 'of minor contests, over representation in the convention com mittees. The convention will be called to order at 4 o'clock and after the speech of Temporary Chairman Taft and announcement of committees will adjourn until tomorrow. Governor Herrick, Justice of the Su preme Court Davis, Attorney General Ellis. State Treasurer McKenton and Member of the Public Works Board Kirtley will be renominated at tomor row's session without opposition, while the opposition to the nomination of General A. L. Harris, for lieutenant governor, may be wholly vithdrawn before the opening of the second day's session. ate him. The strike leader declared that he would suffer himself to be sent to jail for contempt rather than an swer the questions. Relative to the prospective call for state troops President Shea said "Let them call the troops. That will riot al ter the situation so X ar as the teamsters are concerned. The teamsters are not interfering with the operations of wagons on the streets and neither will the strike be spread to any great ex tent. We are using our best efforts to keep it within its present limits." Shea's Defiance. In announcing his refusal to be ques tioned by the roaster in chancerv, Mr. Shea said: "I think they intend to send me to jail. Anyway, I am not going to an swer the questions before the master. I will do my own thinking. The law gives me that right. I honestly believe the questions would tend to incriminate me. I might as well go to jail for con tempt as for conspiracy, p can run the strike from the jail." Continuing Mr. Shea said: "The soldiers will not affect the strike in any way. Our men keep the oeace. The troopers won't act as strike break ers. It would seem to me that the busi ness men of Chicago would not want the soldiers here. With a lot of young men unaccustomed to scenes of exeftement, armed with deadly weapons, life will be in danger. At any rate thousands of people intending to come to Chicago to buy goods will be frightened away and the effect will be serious To many busi ness men. But personally I have noth ing to say against the soldiers coming." The planing mills felt the effect of the lumber shortage today, some of them being compelled to shut down. Sash and door factories are almost at a standstill and carpenters all over the city are being laid off. The paralysis in tne building industries it seemed to day would extend untd at least on; hundred thousand worKrnen in many trades are out of employment for lack of material. Spreading Rapidly. Extension of the strike in the lumber district was much' more rapid today than yesterday, it was not a slow re luctant spread toaay out a sweeping wholesale affair that sent workmen home in hundreds and closed up lum ber yards by the dozens. So complete and thorough was the virtual lockout that in a short time every lumber com pany in Chicago except' two were report ed as having practically suspended op erations owing to lack of teamsters. It was expected that the two remaining companies would be similarly involved before night. STORM COWES UP. Weather Bureau Forecast Is for Cool and Cloudy AVeather.

K. at Parsons. A Charge of Fraud Is Made by the Opposition. BALLOT BOX STUFFED. Cyrus Leland, A. VI. Smith and Bernard Kelly Aid Coney. Present Commander Harris Thinks Topeka Man Won. Says Election Was as Fair This Time as Usual. Parsons, Kan., May 24. P. H. Coney of Topeka was declared elected com mander of the Kansas department of the Grand Army of the Republic late Tuesday, after the result of the second ballot had been announced showing that of 429 votes cast Coney had re ceived 231, H. H. Carr of Wichita 1S9 and W. F. Grierson of Parsons, 7; scat tering 2. Capt. P. II. Coney, of Topeka, Klected Iepartnient Commander G. A. R. No fixed time is arranged in the de partment for the holding of the elec tion at an encampment and at the close of the business session Tuesday after noon Cyrus Leland, who has been man aging Coney's campaign, moved that the election be at 5 o'clock. As soon as Coney's candidacy was announced in the morning after a caucus at the Rasbach hotel the friends of the other candidates began a bitter fight against Coney, led by H. C. Loomis of Win field, a past commander. Coney's cam paign was led by Leland, A. W. Smith of McPherson, and the Rev. Bernard Kelly of Ottawa. The first ballot stood: Coney ISO, Carr 135, Grierson 52, scatter ing 1. Fraud Is Charged. The announcement of the result of the second ballot brought the enemies of Coney to their feet with a protest that the ballot showed nearly 50 more votes cast than there were "accredited dele gates to the encampment. In -the ex citement which followed this charge a motion to adjourn until today was made and the department commander declared it carried. The friends of Carr and Grierson were bitter in their de nunciation of the methods which they assert were used to elect Coney. They charge that the ballot box was stuffed and insist that there has been no eleci tion. While admitting that perhaps there were more ballots cast than there were delegates and officers in the encamp ment entitled to vote, the friends of Coney say that if there was any ballot box stuffing it was by friends of other candidates and not by the friends of the Topeka candidate, or at least that both factions were equally open to sus picion. Leland says there has been only one honest election in an encampment for years and that was at Junction City when A. W. Smith was defeated by a close vote and every precaution was taken against repeating. Harris Says It's Fair. "While Coney and I are not friendly," said Department Commander Charles Harris after the election, "I believe that he was elected and so declared and I can see no way of reopening the matter. There has been too much fraud in elec tions in the encampments in the past and I do not know that this one was any more fraudulent than many others have been. So far as I am concerned this closes'' the matter." Salina was selected as the place for the next encampment and Hutchinson for the reunion in August. A camp hre was held last night at which Depart ment Commander Harris asked Captain Coney to preside. It is customary for the department commander to preside at the camp fire just following his elec tion. The parade of the Grand Army, the Women's Relief corps, the Sons of Vet erans and school children, each of the latter carrying a flag, was one of the largest ever given here, more than 1,000 members of the three organizations be ing in line, while the Queen City and Independence bands furnished the music. Hundreds of persons lined the streets. As the parade passed up Forest avenue the Independence band struck up "Marching Through Georgia." In stantly the old soldiers caught the strain and 500 voices joined in the old army song. Arriving at the city hall the ceremony of the flag presentation to the Parsons high school took place. A silk flag is always given to the high school where the encampment is held by the Women's Relief corps. Frederick Mosher, a high school stu dent, gave an oration. In a contest with patriotic orators he had won the prize, a gold pin. The prize was pre sented by Allan C Blackwell. national instructor on patriotic subjects. A resolution by Department Com mander Harris asking the United States senators and members of congress to introduce no pension bills not prepared by the Grand Army pension commit tee of the national department, was in troduced in the encampment and refer- A Sv red back to the committee on resolu tions. It is not believed that it will be adopted by the encampment. The en campment will adjourn this afternoon after the installation of officers. The annual addresses of the officers of the W. R. C. were given in the morning. Mrs. Anna Heacock, president of the Parsons corps, gave the welcom ing address. A beautiful gold badge studded with diamonds was presented to Mrs. Apple by the encampment Such a badge is presented each year to the retiring president. The Parsons corps presentedsMrs. Apple with a handsome hand-painted china bowl, and this afternoon her aids presented her with a dozen silver spoons. "Grandma" Cherry, 94 years old, the mother of three veterans of the civil war, was an honored guest at the meet ing of the Ladies of the G. A. R. An other guest was "Grandma" Adams, 84 years of age, a member of Antietam circle. Ladies of the G. A. R., of Par sons. At the opening meeting the wel coming address was given by Mrs. Jen nie Sourber, president of Antietam. The response was given by 'Mrs. Emma B. Dalton, of Winfield, past president of the department. An eloquent talk on the order was made bv the senior vice president, Mrs. Frances W. Wood, of Topeka, and other remarks were made bv the national treasurer, Mrs. Julie Gordon, of Topeka. Past Presidents Mrs. Emma Wall, Mrs. St. John, Mrs. Henry and Mrs. McBride were all pres ent. GOVERFJOR KILLED Bomb Thrown Into Carriage of Baku's Executive.

Judge Stoddard Finds It Xecessary to Call Him to Order. New Haven, Conn., May 24. W. J. Bryan appeared in the probate court here today at a hearing on the accounts of the estate of the late Philo S. Ben iiett of which Mr. Bryan is adminis trator. During the examination Mr. Brvan was submitted to a rapid fire of questions from Judge Henry Stoddard, counsel for Mrs. Grace I. Bennett, the widow, and at times considerable im patience was manifested by both ques tioner and the witness. Attorney White was first put on the stand as counsel for the administrator to explain the accounts, but Mr. Bryan interrupted so frequently that Judge Stoddard suggested that Mr. Bryan wait until he was on the stand before he at tempted to explain matters. Mr. Bryan then said: "Your honor, I object lo the insinua tions throw-n out by Judge Stoddard. For eighteen months I have heard these insinuations and I am tired of it. I am willing to testify. I want to testify." CORN SELLS AT 65. An Advance of 7?i Cents In the May Option. Chicago, May 24. Corn for delivery during the month of May sold here to day for 65 cents a bushel, an advance of 7H cents from yesterday's closing quotations. The sensational upward jump in the price of that option was due to a stampede among shorts, who were filled with fresh alarm at the pros pects of a continuance of an aggressive bull campaign in the May delivery. The market was comparatively quiet at the opening with May up to c at 58 to V&Vi- An advance of nearly 2 cents took place early in the session on moderate buying by shorts. Toward the noon hour, however, the price made a vio lent leap upward, ending at 65 cents. Late in the session the price made another upward bound to 66. Just be fore the close the price touched 6,c a gain of 9c from yesterday's close. The close was at 66, a net advance of 8c. OFF FOR PANAMA.

GAS MIS on. Philadelphia's Kayor Turns Out Two City Officials Who Would Not Resign as Promptly as Desired. WERE OUT OF HARMONY They Would Not Help Hira to Fight the Gas Lease. Whole Matter Will Now Become Political Question. Philadelphia, May 24. Judge Ralston has granted a temporary injunction re straining Mayor Weaver from removing Directors Smyth and -Costello from of fice and Monday, May 29, was set as the date for argument on the injunction. Philadelphia, May 24. Insurance com missioner Durham and other Republican leaders have taken up the gauge thrown down by Mayor Weaver and are form ing their lines for a fight that doubtless will be to the bitter end. Mr. Dunham was in conference with his lieutenants until an early hour this morning but none of the parties to the conference could be induced to speak of the plans discussed by the "organization" lead ers. It was hinted however that an ex tra session of the legislature might be called for the purpose of making the Philadelphia "ripper" bills passed dur ing the recent session, inoperative. These bills take from the mayor the power to appoint the directors of pub lic safety and public works and placa it in the hands of city councils. Under the act of the last legislature, the law does not become operative until the in cumbent mayor's term expires in April, 1907. It is not generally believed, how ever, that the governor or the member of the legislature outside of Philadel phia would approve this plan. Mayor Weaver reached his office about 9:30 o'clock today and a few minutes later announced that Colonel Sheldon Potter had taken the oath of orfice as director of public safety to succeed David J. Smyth, removed. Prior to the mayor's arrival former Judge Gordon, who is associated with Elihu Root of New York as private counsel for Mr. Weaver, called at the latter's office. He declined to discuss the object of his visit. If city coun cils pass the gas works lease over the mayor's veto which is probable an appeal will immediately be made to the courts to prevent the consumma tion of the lease and a legal war will follow, which probably will not end utU the United States supreme court nas passed on the merits, of the case. In this event the pervices of Mr. Root, Judge Gordon and other let?al talent wJI be at the mayor's disposal. Arthur R. H. Morrow, assistant direc tor of public supplies, who was sus pended yesterday but declined to ac cept the suspension on the ground that no cause had been assigned for it, was not at his office at the usual hour today. Mr. Morrow is the Republican leader of the Twenty-sixth ward. Shortly before 10 o'clock the confer ence of the leaders with United States Senator Penrose which was in session all of yesterday and last night was re sumed. Officials Turned Out. Philadelphia; May 24. In his effort to defeat the consummation of the plan to lease the city gas works to the United Gas Improvement company, for 75 years for J25,O00,000, Mayor Weaver ha3 dismissed from office David J. Smyth, director of the department of public safety and Peter E. Costello, director of the department of public works. Th mayor has announced that he is in the fight to the bitter end. which means that a great political battle is now on and will be carried to the polls next November. In his fight against the gas lease and the Republican organization the mayor has called in as counsel Elihu Root of New York and former Judge James Gay Gordon of this city. Frederick J. Shoyer, director of th department of supplies by direction of the mayor, suspended, pending an in vestigation. Arthur H. Morrow, assist ant director of the department. The removal of Directors Smith and Costel lo did not come until after the mayor had asked them to resign immediately. In reply each sent a letter to the mayor offering his resignation to take effect when his successor "shall be qualified." The mayor answered them by demand ing their Immediate resignation. The answer the directors returned was to the effect that they had tendered their resignations "in the usual form and in accordance with provision of the city charter" and that they would stand by them as tendered. Mr. Weaver then ended the corres pondence by sending to each a letter of dismissal. After the removals had been an nounced the mayor made public the names of the men he had selected for the places. They are Col. Sheldon Pot ter, to fill the office of director of pub lic safety, ad interim, and A. Lincoln Acker, to be director of the department of public works, ad interim. The fight over the form of resignation was an important one in that the new direc tors can only be qualified by the con firmation of the council, which is con trolled by the organization. Each dis missed director received $10,000 a year and together they had control of 10,000 officeholders. It is not likely that the city council will confirm the men appointed by the mayor, but they will hold the office ad interim. The two dismissed directors refused to use their influence to help the mayor in his anti-gas lease fight, and this led the mayor to ask the di rectors for their resignations. The news of the mayor's action spread quickly to every section of the cityi Every one wanted to know what the "organization" was going to do. It is evident that it is planning for a great contest. The next city election will be held in November w hen a sheriff and coroner are to be elected. The "or ganization" candidate for sheriff is Harry C. Ransley, president of the se lect council and an advocate of the gas lease and it is likely that the re form organization of the city will cen ter their strength to defeat him. While the mayor refuses to say what his fu ture action will be regarding other of ficeholders, who oppose him it is believ ed he is not through with his work in this direction. The reform organization of the city is continuing with a vim the plans to block the lease. Ward (Continued on Page Six.)

Manager Kimmel of the Wichita team on Tues3ay afternoon received a tele grain signed by 200 Jobber fans protest ing against the retention of Maclyear and O'Leary on the team. The telegram inferred that they were not good enough to keep. Captain Jack Holland said af terwards concerning the matter: "What in the world was that done for? What is the idea of breaking up a baseball team after we have it started well? MaeLear is one of the best shortstops in the league and is a hitter, too. O'Leary has had a bad arm but hot weather will bring him out. No change will be made." Holland is richt in what he. sai l about MaeLear. The scrappy little shortstop is a good bail plaver and Wichita would have a lovely time in attempting to duplicate him. O'Learv is not playing a first class game now, but his past reputation ought to make the Jobber fans more tha.i wdiing to give him a fair try-out. It is very evident that Quiglev can not hit. Just why he is k-pt at the head of the batting list is more than all the wise men of the Kast can figure out. He seldom gets on the initial bag. One, who is playing the game of his this year, would be a fifty per cent rovement over the sorrel top. His XTmps."

An Even Break on the Wichita Series. Mr. Bemis, lazy but clever, put the blocks to the White Sox on Tuesday afternoon, shut them out by a score of 4 to 0, and permitted Wichita to break even on the series, a not frequent oc currence for a visiting team when the aggregations are as equally matched as the White Legs'and the Jobbers. On the other hand Bill Howie looked like strawberry shortcake to his op ponents good.. Nine times did they in tercept his curvolas and fracture tha atmosphere. All of them were clea:i cut and easily labeled and they gave Wichita the victory. The jobbers worked his delivery when necessary and worried but little over the contest. .Kemis gave the Sox but six hits, and two of these were of the Alnbonse and Gaston order outfielders and inflelders permitting the sphere to drop between them for fear of bumping each other. t mis stupidity was bloodless in both instances. Topeka had two good chances to score, in the third and ninth innings. In round No. 3, Quigley Kot to first on a pop-up. which Bevis and MaeLear each asked the other to catch. Crum sacrificed the sorrelton on' a notch. Dunn got his base on balls, but Abbott killed him on a fielder's choice. Then Henry got on first by compliment. The sacks were full and two out. The best Cole offered was a grounder to Cope. ine last spin of the wheel sent icy autos chasing up and down the medul la oblongatas of the Jobbers. Rersch, the first man up grounded out to short. Howey hit safely over second. Quigley walked. Crum got to first on Maryott's smear of a grounder. Sacks full and but one out, and big Bert Dunn at the bat! The situation took on an indigo tinge. Gehring commenced to warm up on the side lines. But Bemis buckled down to business. Three times did he fool big Dunn and sent him to the bench a strike-out- another Casey. Ab bott up next tried to win the day, but the best he could offer was a high fly to Bevis, and the game was over and the shutout complete. Wichita commenced making runs in the first inning. Green, the very first man to the bat, got a complimentary. Bevis' grounder sent him to second and Milton's screaming single to right hur ried him over the rubber. In the third inning Green again walked. MaeLear singled him to third. Cole dropped Milton's high fly after a long splint and Green ran over the fry ing pan. In the fourth inning Wichita got its only earned run. Cope singled and was sacrificed to second by Murray. Green and MaeLear singled in succession and drove him home. In the sixth Murray got a safe one and the initial station. He tried to steal second and Henry threw wild. Murray hurried to third. Dutch Persch tried to catch him at that turning point but whizzed the ball clear to the bleachers, and the curly headed center fielder left his spike marks in the corrugated rubber. The game was slow and lifeless, without features. The two teams acted as if they were simply trying to finish out nine innings and get through as quickly as possible. Reagan's ragged umpiring aroused little protest. The features of the contest were the catching of Persch's long drive to cen ter by Murray, and MacLear's battintr. For a spectacular piece of work the joint catch of a foul fly by Henry and Abbott takes the rake. It occurred in the first round. MaeLear tried to bunt and lifted a little pop-up. Abbott ran in under it, but it struck his knee. Henry rushed up at the same time, and as the ball caromed off his captain's leg, he caught it in his mit. The score: WICHITA. Plaver AR. R IT. PO. A.

Since Cham pion Jeffries announced his perma nent retirement from the prize ring Gus Ruhlin, the big Akron, Ohio, heavyweight, who is now a dealer in real estate in Bay Ridge, has been on the trail of all aspirants for the cov eted title. Billy Madden, who man aged John L. Sullivan, and who has had charge of Ruhlin for the past ten years, says he will back Ruhlin against any white man for any amount of money. Ruhlin is particularly anxious to meet Marvin Hart, who recently de feated Jack Johnson at San Fran cisco. It is just one year ago since he engaged in a battle, but he is always in good condition and capable of putting up a slashing bout. During his career in the prize ring Ruhlin has engaged in many a hard fought battle. His memorable twenty round contest with Peter Maher at the Lenox Athletic club will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it. He fought a twenty-round draw with Champion Jeffries when he was but a novice, but later he was defeated by the champion in five rounds. Ruhlin has won victories over Tom Sharkey and other -leading lights of the pro fession, and he is looked upon by many as the right man to fill the place 1 left vacant by Jeffries. There is some talk of matching Hart and Fitzsimmons for the championship but as the Cornishman will enter on his forty-third year next month it is hardly probable that he could stand severe training. Besides being an old man. Fitzsimmons' hands are in bad condition, and it is doubtful if he couid stand a grueling contest with such a strong voung man as Hart. Biliv Madden suggests that Hart and Ruhlin meet in a twenty-round contest and that the winner be hailed champion. These two men seem to be the logical candidates for the honor, now that Fitzsimmons, Sharkey and Munroe are considered out of the money. BOSTON FANS ARE SORE. Object to Selbaeh Being Benched and Cooley Released. Writes C. H. Zuber, baseball editor of the Cincinnati Times-Star, who is touring the east with the Red Legs: "All is hot serene in critical circles in Boston. The public, backed by the baseball writers, is asking some point ed Questions of the owners and man agers of the two teams questions that indicate that the course that is being pursued by both clubs is not meeting with the approval of the peo ple who support the game with their coin and their space in the newspapers. "The leading question that is pro pounded to the Boston, American league club, is: 'Why is AI Selbaeh, as good a hitter as there is on the team, and one of its best base run ners, played on the bench, while "Buck" Freeman, an erratic, non thinking player, is allowed to play regularly?' As yet no answer has been given to this query. "The inquisition, so far as the Bos ton Nationals is concerned, refers to the release of Phil Geier and 'Dick' Cooley. 'Why,' asks the populace, 'were these two men allowed to get away, when the club had no men to put in their places who could do as well as they?' As in the song, silence is the answer to this question also. "Consequently the followers of both clubs assert that in each case some body is responsible for mismanage ment and Jimmy Collins and the own ers of the Boston Nationals are com ing in for equal shares of censure for their failure to explain to the public why these things are thus. This loss of confidence in Manager Collins is due largely to the poor work that the champions did at the beginning of the season, while the move of the Na tionals was expected."

Ben Mulford savs the Cincinnati players do but little thinking. They talk so much that they don't have time to think, and the umpires get to them very quickly. An effort is being rnade to have Kenna, Houser, Kerwin and Hallman jump the Louisville team. The Tri State leasue of Pennsylvania is said to be working to that end. From Illinois University club to the American league is a big leap for Rothberg, but Jake Stahl has faith in the young man's ability to play good ball for the Nationals. Joe Gans, the colored champion lightweight boxer of the world, has organized a baseball nine, which he claims is the .strongest colored aggre gation south of New York. Otis Clymer, the Pittsburg player who has been in so much trouble in the National league, is unpopular with the players in that circuit. He carries, a "hammer" all the time, it is said. The "squeeze" play has failed four straight times with the Boston cham pions, and it is a bad thing when it does fail. Put Willie Keeler on third and give Wid Conroy the bat and see what they can do with it.

A GOOD NONCONDUCTOR TTiIl Keep Out Heat in Summer and Cold in Winter. Will Cut Down Coal and Wood Bills to a Minimum. Junction City, Kan., May 24. Captain Hurray, of Fort Riley, has a scheme that will enable cooking to be done without a fire, and the commissary de partment of the regular army is to give it a test. It is simply an application of the German hay box idea. If it works all right it will be adopted. "'The idea," said he, "13 a very simple one. Have you ever been in a hay field where the workers had a Jug of cider un der a haycock to keep it cool? Have you ever burrowed in the haymow on a cold winter's night to keep warm doubtless not from choice but from necessity? Now what's the answer? Very easy. Hay happens to be a good non-conductor of heat or cold. The cold jug is kept at that temperature for a long time by the hay securely packed about it while the body loses none of its natural heat for the same reason. "Take a crock, fill it with water and heat it on a stove. Then pack it in hay arid within an hour it will be almost at boiling point. The heat has been retain ed and additional generated. Take the fame crock, fill it with the condiments of a stew and let it stay on a stove for about five minutes. Then place it in a wooden box and securely pack it about with hay and within an hour and a haif or say two hours, your stew will be cooked to a queen's taste. Meat may be boiled or vegetables cooked in the Fame manner. Captain Murray has cooked the eatables above mentioned in this manner in quantities sufficient for a mess of eighteen or twenty men and with the most encouraging results. He has found that crocks retain the heat much longer than tins. Beans bakpd in this manner have been turned out with the real Boston flavor. Captain Jturray will try his experiments with food in sufficient quantities for a full troop or battery and will also use ground cork Instead of hay as a packin?. "If the idea proves practicable, and there seems no reason why it should not. food can be cooked in this manner when troops are in the field and when a camp is nude a hot meal will be ready for serving without any wait. And how about the working man and woman in civil life? The meal can he prepared before going to work in the morning and upon return it will be ready for serving, and it should cut down coai and wood bills to a minimum." A TELEPHONE TKI ST.

May 24. While playing tag with his brother in the front yard of his home. Earl Collins, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Abe Collins, living seven miles southeast of town, dropped dead of heart failure. Collins was apparently a healthy boy and had never complainedof heart trouble at any previous time. He worked hard all day on the farm and was running after his brother, when he gave a gasp and fell over and was dead by the time his iinrents reached him from the house. A brother who was a half mile away was notified of his death by telephone and after running all the way home fell into a faint at the sight of Karl's body and re mained unconscious for hours. Legal Fight for 100 Acres. Wichita, Kan., May 24. In the city court an interesting legal battle is in progress for the .possession of 100 acres of land along the north bank of the Arkansas river within three miles of the central portion of Wichita. The point to be de cided is whether the land in question has ever been settled upon. The defendant, who is in possession of the property, con tends that since the government survey in ISi-i? 110 person had ever settled upon the land until he did so about three months ago. The plaintiff claims that as his property line extends to the river bank, the land is his by right of accretion. The land is covered with valuable timber. Boy Outwits the Conductor. Atchison, Kas., May 24. Easton Gulley, 6 years old, disappeared from home Monday, and he appeared in St. Louis Tuesday. The boy had boarded a Burlington train here and led the conductor to believe he was traveling with a grown person. Young Gulley made a trip to Kansas City in the same way recently and from Kan sas City continued to Cameron, Mo. Previous to that he made several trips on the cars, always outwitting the conductors.

Western Lines Advance Kates on Packing House Products. Roads Violated Orders of Inter state Rail Commission. PACKERS RETALIATE. Threaten to Send Export Ship ments via Gulf Ports. Gossip and Matters of Interest in Kailroad Circles. Chicago, May 24. An advance of 5 cents per 100 pounds in the freight rates on packing house products will be made in the near future by all the western railroads except the Chicago Great Western. An agreement-to this effect was reached at a conference of the heads of the legal departments of the western railroads, following con ferences with the traffic officials. All the roads running from the Mis souri river to Chicago, except the Santa Fe, have been made parties to a suit in the federal courts for failing to ob serve an order by the interstate com merce commission that they should not maintain higher rates on live stock than on packing house products. When this order was made by the commission the executive officers of the western roads met, and, with the exception of the Santa Fe, decided not to make any changes in their rates on live stock and packing house products and to fight the order of the commission in the courts. Santa Fe Obeys Order. The Santa Fe immediately reduced its rate on live stock from the Missouri river to Chicago from 25 cents per 100 pounds to 18 cents, the same as the rate on packing house products. In 1903, when all the other roads agreed to advance rates on packing house products, the Great Western en tered into a contract with the packers to maintain for seven years a rate of 18 cents per 100 pounds on packing house products, in consideration of the packers giving that road a certain per centage of their traffic. That contract prohibits the Great Western from advancing its rates on packing house products, and it can only escape prosecution by the interstate commerce commission by lowering its rates on live stock to 1S cents, a cut of a cents, as the Santa Fe has done. The other roads believe they will lose less money by advancing the packing house product rates than they would if they reduced the rates on live stock. The wide-spread agitation over rite fix ing legislation by congress caused the high officials to overrule the original decision of the traffic officers to defy the order of the interstate commerce commission. It is probable that the Santa Fe will follow the action of the other roads and advance its rates on packing house products to 25 cents and will also in crease its rate on live stock to the or iginal basis of 25 cents. Packers May Retaliate. What effect the advance in rates on packing house products will have on Chicago as a live stock market depend largely on the attitude of the packers. They get good profits now from the rent paid by the railroads for the use of their private cars from the Missouri river to Chicago, while they do not get any rental from the cars used in the transportation of live stock. It has been suggested that the packers may try to retaliate against the western roads by shipping all their export packing house products from the gulf ports instead of shipping via Chicago from the Atlantic ports. One thing certain Is that so long as the Great Western's rate on packing house products from the Missouri river to Chicago is 5 cents less than the rate of other roads, it will be given all the traffic from the Missouri river packing houses that it can transport. POOL ALL CAR REPAIRS. Xew York Central System Opens a Xew Department. A new and important department will be added to the New York Central lines on July 1, when Eugene Chamberlain will open up the clearing house under which all freight car repairs on the system will be pooled. His headquarters will be in New York. Preparations for the starting of this de partment have been under way for two years and it is another step forward in the policy of President Newman to unify ail lines in the system. It is expected to mean greater economy and efficiency in keeping the freight car equipment in first class condition and will facilitate the promptness with which repairs can be made. It also will put a stop to the com plicated billing system which has been in vogue on the lines for so long:. One of the changes will be that all the shops will have uniform supplies, and when a car is damaged it can be repaired at the nearest plant without regard to the road by which it is owned. The economies of this scheme are manifest, on account of the elimination of delays, and the con sequent increase in the earning capacity of the equipment. Invention of Railway Man. W. W. W. Arthur, chief clerk in the general agent's office of the Union and Southern Pacific roads at Chicago, and widely known in the railroad world by his original signature of "3 W. A.," has secured a patent for a mailing card which, it is claimed, will take the place of envelopes in mailing letters, tariffs, circulars, invoices, and other documents of a single sheet. St. Paul to Extend to Coast. New York, May 2 4. The plan of the St. Paul management to reach the Pacific ocean is believed to be fairly definite. So far as can be learned the plan contemplates an extension of the main line of the St. Paul across Wyoming to a connection in the Snake river valley with the main line under control of the Oregon Short Line. The objective point is Belling ham Bay, Wash. The plan does not appear to con- WAS BALD SIX YEARS. Three Months of the Xew Scientific Treatment Restored His Hair.

The St. Paul will probably push its own line west from Chamber lain via the Black Hills to a connec tion with the Oregon Short Line in the southeastern corner of Idaho. It is understood that right of way will be granted on request either by the Union Pacific lines or by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific lines in Washington. The plan carries no threat to either the Union Pacific or the Hill systems. The new line of the St. Paul will open entirely new territory, and will not be an invasion of either Hill or Harriman country. TO LEAVE LIQl'OR ALOXE. Railway Postal Clerks Like to See Drinking Rule Enforced. "The railway postal clerks would be pleased to see the rule enforced on all railroads which forbids men in the operating department from drinking," said an employe of the government's railway postoflice service yesterday. "While the rule is well enforced in this part of the country that much is not true farther west. We have heard of wrecks where postal clerks barely escaped with their lives during the past two or three years," he continued, "where the accident was almost di rectly traceable to drink. It is claimed that the railroads are enforcing the rule to the best of their ability, but when you see a little railroad town of two thousand people with a saloon or two for every five hundred inhabitants directly connected with the railroad in one way or another, one begins to wonder who keeps these saloons going if it is not the railroad men. The fact is that many railroad men drink. The number of drinkers among railroad men in Topeka. however, is much less than it is in almost any railroad town I am acquainted with." A Nebraska superintendent says that one of the hardest problems he has to deal with is drinking among his trainmen. He has fired some men for this cause, but says it is difficult to tell always the men most deserv ing of punishment. He has seen an improvement in conditions, however, in the past ten years, and he believes that the percentage of railroad men who drink is steadily growing less, very much to the improvement of the service and to the safety of the travel ing public. "Take the old timers," he says, "with any road and you will find they are a sober lot of fellows. If they were not they would not be old timers with the road. The men who stick, and the men who climb, leave the stuff alone. Sometimes in the rush season when we hire a lot of new men we are liable to get some drink ing men in our employ, but when buisness slackens the drinking man usually gets a layoff, and the man who attends to business is held." Railroad men in the train service say there has been a great change for the better in the past few years, and they say that the railroad manage ments, in trying to protect themselves from disaster, have done a great deal for the temperance cause. TCXXEL TJXDER A TFXXEL. Santa Fe Will Have Xew Bore a Mile Long. Denver, May 24. The Santa Fe will build a tunnel under a tunnel. The new tunnel will be on the main line and through Raton hill and will be 5,000 feet, or nearly one mile in length, 144 feet below the present tun nel, and it will cost $1,000,000. The contract has been let to Corri gan of Pueblo and he will begin the preliminary work at once along the survey already finished by the Santa v e engineers. There will also be a double track laid by the Santa Fe from Trinidad to Raton, and it is fhe "present intention to operate trains through the new tun nel by electricity. It will probably take two years to finish the big bore. It is believed by the Santa Fe en gineers that the tunnel will result in a big saving in fuel for engines and that it will also result in doing away with splitting freight trains to get them over the Raton hill, as is now the case. The Santa Fe is preparing a cutoff for through freight trains that will have practically a water level. This road runs south of the present line and a steel and stone bridge is now being constructed over the Canadian river for this cutoff. By building the tunnel proposed the Santa Fe management will also escape many wrecks, it being practically im possible under certain weather condi tions to avoid trains slipping away down the hill. Seven hundred men have been hired by Corrigan for the tunnel work, and it will be pushed through as rapidly as possible. SAXTA FE CHANGES. Small Shake-up of Station Agents on Southern Kansas Division. Wellington. Kan., May 2 4. Quite a number of changes are now taking place among the station agents of the Santa Fe. C. A. Princehouse, who has been agent at Wellington for a few months, has been promoted to the Woodward office. He is relieved here by E. J. Bortroff, agent at Arrthony.

Ooomes of this city, who has been relief agent for the company for some time, has been appointed agent at Englewood to succeed Mr. Parker. These5changes have all been brought about by the resignation of W. W. Arnold as agent at Woodward. It is also reported that several other minor changes will take place on this division. SANTA FE LETS CONTRACT. Will Complete a New Mexico Connect ing Line at Once. The Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe railroad company yesterday let the contract for the remainder of the line connecting the El Paso division with the Pecos division to the Lantry Sharp Contracting company of Kan sas City.

GOULD'S AUTO BLOWHUP Touring Car Worth $8,000 Is a Total Wreck. New York, May 24. A large tour ing car belonging to Mrs. Howard Gould exploded in front of a garage at Thirty-third street and Fifth ave nue, through the carelessness of a street sweeper, who threw a lighted match underneath the machine, where there was a quantity of gasoline which had leaked from the tank. The ex plosion could be heard for blocks, and caused excitement among the guests of the Waldorf-Astoria. The automoDiie was wrecKea. me damage being estimated at S8.000.

A Number of Minor Engage ments Have Taken Tlaee. A Beport That Vladivostok Kail road Has Been Cut. Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, May 24. The situation is very tense and the rival commanders are watching each other like hawks. Field Marshal Oyama has made no decisive move. Lieut. Gen. Rennenkampff, however, made a bold reconnoissance at the coslj of several hundred casualties, but the correspondent of the Associated Press was not allowed to telegraph the re sults. It is possible it was Rennen kampff's cavalry which penetrated southwest of Fakoman. A dispatch from Tokio May 2 2 said: "A body of the enemy's cavalry, dismounted, attacked Tangshed, on the right bank of the Liao river 13 miles southwest of Fakomen, on the morning of May 20. After an en gagement lasting two hours the enemy retreated in disorder toward the southwest, abandoning 300 killed or wounded." Several Small Engagements. Tokio, May 24, 10:15 a. m. Impe rial army headquarters made the fol lowing announcement today: On the afternoon of May 21 a bat talion of Russian infantry and six squadrons of cavalry attacked the northern height at Chinyangpao, 10 miles north of Wesyuanpaomen, but were repulsed. On the morning of May 2 2 a bat talion of Russian infantry and three troops of cavalry advanced along the Kirih-Taolu roads toward Chien chentzu, and one company of infantry gained the -western height near the village, but were repulsed. The Russian cavalry on the right bank of the Llao river commenced a retreat on the morning of May 22, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon the enemy had reached a point south of Talun, which lies 17 miles west of Fakumen. With the exception of small colli sions there is otherwise no change in the situation. Kailroad Reported Cut. St. Petersburg, May 24. The au thorities here have no confirmation of the report telegraphed from Tokio to the London Daily Telegraph to the effect that the Japanese have cut the railroad to Vladivostok and isolated that fortress. The director of tele graphs informed the Associated Press today that there are two lines to Vladivostok, one direct by way of Khaborosk, Siberia, and the other via Harbin. The former is working and n vno Free From Female His SleepSoundly ittFJUUlLl t 1 no interruption of the latter had been reported this morning from Harbin, whence messages are constantly arriving. Inquiries on the subject have been despatched to Harbin. The war office has no news of the railroad being cut, and the idea that the fort ress is cut off on the land side is re garded as absurd, though it is always possible that a small raiding party might reach the railroad and tempo rarily damage it. It is considered im possible, however, that a Japanese force of sufficient strength to hold the railroad could have passed through the Russian skirmish lines which keep in touch for the entire distance be tween Gen. Linevitch's army and the division along the Lumen river. Lacks Confirmation. London, May 24. The Great North ern Telegraph company's office in London has received no intimation tending to confirm the statement cabled by the Tokio correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph that the railroad line to Vladivostok had been cut by the Japanese, with the result that the fortress is isolated. Togo Is Far North. London, May 24. The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post says he learns from a trustworthy source that Vice Admiral Togo's fleet is still off Masampho, on the south eastern coast of Korea. Brewery Coopers Strike. New Tork, May 24.- A general strike has been declared by the brew ery coopers in this city. They demand a reduction of hours and an advance in wages. Journeymen brewers and the drivers, firemen and engineers, it is understood, will not strike in sympa thy. Castro Pardons Political Offenders. Caracas, May 24.- President Castro has signallized the opening of con gress and the beginning of his consti tutional presidency for six years by decreeing amnesty to all Venezuelans for political reasons and they are permitted to return to their country. There are about 1,500 political prison ers confined in the dungeons of Ca racas, Lagualra, Puerto Cabella and Maracaibo. Death of O. K. Grubb. Howard, Kan., May 24. Otto Ray Grubb, clerk of the district court, is dead here. He was operated on for appendicitis. Otto Grubb was in the Philippines with Company G, Twentieth Kansas, and was never absent from duty an hour while in the service.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Pres? and receives the full day telegraph report of that frreat news or ra nidation for exclusive afternoon publi cation In Tcpeka. The news is recefved In the State Jour Pal building over wires for this sole pur pose. The Chicago teamsters evidently pro pose to drive on with the strike. Russia is protesting that Japan in tends to kidnap the emperor of Corea. To protest is about all that Russia can do. With President Roosevelt and Nan Patterson both Writing books, the out look for the book agent business is im proving. Those dummy directors of the Equi table, Messrs. Gould, Harriman, Hill, et al., do not seem so terribly "dum" after all. Charles F. Scott agreed to deliver the commencement address, at Chanute And Chanute isn't in the Second dis trict, either! The beef trust inquiry has adjourn ed until June 7. Another advance in the price of meat is expected in cele bration of th? event. Victor Murdock is setting an unfair precedent. Most Kansas congressmen haven't any ocean handy in which to plunge to rescue pretty women. It is supposed that the bank failure at Goldfield, Xev., was caused by some depositor who wanted to draw out the price of a square meal at Goldfield rates. The Iowa club women have Invited Grover Cleveland to attend their state federation. Perhaps they want to teach him some true things about women's club?. "Society has rights which lawyers are bound to respect but they don't," says the Emporia Gazette. As we un derstand it, then, they are bound by bonds that do not bind. War experts have figured cut exactly what effect a battle between Togo and Rojestvensky will have for the next 50 years, but they cannot tell for sure whether the battle will take place. Another evidence that things are rot equalized in this world is the fact that the marriage license and the minister's fee combined are only one third the price of a cheap divorce. If John L. Sullivan is successful in tils coming prize fight, do you suppose Colonel Erj-an will take it as encour agement for him to take another whirl in the presidential contest ring? The partner of Mr. Yerkes, Chicago's former street car magnate, has been robbed in New York. Although Mr. Yerkes is said to have been In Europe at the time, Chicago has its suspicions. Just for fear the railroad magnates may have forgotten it, President Roosevelt reiterates his intention to have an extra session of congress early in the fall to pass a little rate legisla tion. The fact that President Shonts, of the canal commission, "is a- business man and not a politician," may also have something to do with the commis sion buying in the markets of the world where it can buy cheapest. It looks as though President Roose velt and Secretary Taft are in favor of using jiu jitsu on the railroads, and the railroad magnates object because they are used only to the catch-as-catch-can method in robbing the public. Now it is reported that Mr. Schwab did not bring home that contract to build the Russian navy after all, but that it has been given to France and Germany. Schwab seems to have re ceived only a generous quantity of hot air. Governor LaFolIette has started something again. This thing of gov ernors going to congress seems to be caicning, ana ummins of Iowa has Been exposed. There are 'others who refused to be vaccinated, Hoch of Kansas amons them. Evidently President Parry of th National Manufacturers' association was afraid the newspapers would not print his annual address before that organization, so he published an edi tion which he is himself distributing over the country. And he seems to Stave made a pretty good guess. "Expert" grain buyers say that the Kansas wheat crop this year will be about 75,000,000 bushels, as against 65,000,000 a year ago. What "expert gram men don t know about crops would fill an unabridged dictionary. A year ago the Kansas wheat fields were good for 82,000,000, but floods and wet weather during harvest caused a loss of 20 per cent, bringin it Sown to 65,000,000 bushels. If the present Indications are ten million bushels better than a year ago now, the Xansas crop will be something more than 90,000,000 bushels. .NEWSPAPERS SELLING MER CHANDISE. A Topeka newspaper has pledged it self to buy of Topeka dealers and is devoting several columns of space to a 75,000 club, the members whereof agree to patronize home industry. This same newspaper recently gave away a piano which it purchased in Lawrence. This same newspaper now advertises to give away another piano which it claims cost $350. The piano is not handled by any Topeka dealer and a number of Topeka dealers can furnish a better instrument for $208. There is a good deal of a humbug about this 75,000 club. It is a good thing if carried out in practice, but many of the people who are making the most fuss about it are the biggest hyp ocrites. The editor of the State Journal al ways insists upon buying Otto Kuehne's pickles and catsup, but he has the graatest difficulty in getting the goods. The grocers who belong to' the 75,000 club almost invariably try to palm off on him goods made in New York and eastern cities, when Kuehne makes the better article here at home. Talk is all right, but it should be backed up with practice and the home goods. By the way, our readers would do well to always beware of these propo sitions to give away articles. Things of value are not given away. You have to work for them or pay for them. There is a catch somewhere, you can be sure of that. A newspaper which is constantly obliged to give away musical in struments, maps, books, charts, garden seeds, cook books, encyclopedias, maga zines, or queensware, must naturally have something wrong with it. It seems to feel obliged to throw in these things to make up in a lack of size, or the quantity or quality of the real thing it has to sell: news. Do not be deceiv ed. Newspapers do not give away any thing. The subscriber pays for it in some way. Sometimes a subscriber pays in signing a contract which he finds expensive to carry out. The State Journal is not selling pian os, books, nursery stock or recipe books. It sells news. It sells more of this in Topeka at a greater bargain than any other news paper. It has more customers in To peka for news than the combined To peka newspapers who sell music, shrubs, cheap histories, dishes, and in cidentally what 'news and items they can collect and throw in with the mer chandise. RAILROAD VALUATIONS. The State Journal recently showed that the railroads of Kansas are not assessed anywhere near what they should be if it is proposed to assess them at one-third of their actual value, as other property is supposed to be as sessed. Railroad property is assessed at an average .of about. $S,S00 a mile, yet the bonded indebtedness alone of Kansas railroads averages $32,3S8 a mile. Bond ed indebtedness, of course, does not necessarily represent the actual value of any road in fact, no road ought to be bonded for all it is worth. The Santa Fe, for instance, is bonded for less than $30,000 a mile, while the Union Pa cific is bonded for more than $66,000 a mile. The Santa Fe has a great mile age of branch lines which brings down its average actual value per mile, but there is no such discrepancy between it and the Union Pacific as those figures indicate. The railroads argue that farm land and much other property is also some times under-valued for taxation pur poses. This is true, but it is ajso true that considerable property is also over valued. There are many inequalities in our system of taxation, but this is no excuse for the railroads to escape pay ing 50 per cent of the taxes they ought to pay. When it comes to fixing railroad rates the railroads do not figure these valu ations on their property at all. Instead they figure on making the interest on their bonded indebtedness and then dividends on the vast amount of wa tered stock besides. Rates which do not allow them to do this the railroads will claim are confiscatory. At present it looks very much as though the railroads are escaping the payment of over a million and a half dollars of the burden of taxation every year that should rest upon them, and this amount has to be made up by oth er taxpayers. TARIFF REVISION. Wall street is beginning to see tariff revision inevitably ahead. The big trusts' which have clamored for a "protective" tariff along with those in dustries which really needed protec tion, are now beginning to see that re vision is coming, and they are getting ready to do as well as possible for themselves in the change. Henry Clews, the New York banker who is more or less a mouthpiece of Wall street, in his weekly letter this week states positively that tariff re vision is coming, and that it cannot be headed off. If the friends of the tariff do not revise it, its enemies will be given a chance to do so. In dis cussing the political situation in its relation to finance he says: "As for the tariff problem, that maj or may not be disturbing. It is quite evident that this question will not down and that sooner or later a re vision of the tariff must be made; if not by its friends then by its enemies. The former method is the more de sirable from the business standpoint, and is most likely to prevail. In any event, it is well to remember that the country is vastly better able to endure a revision of the tariff than it was ten years ago. Industries which then were absolutely dependent upon some form of protection are now quite able to stand alone; and tariff revision, if confined to reasonable lines, will re sult in no serious interruption of busi ness, while many lines of industry will be positively benefited. The worst that could be anticipated would be the period of business hesitation which would inevitably have to be faced until the future was absolutely settled. Neither of.' these problems, however, need cause "any serious anxiety in gen eral business circles, although they may temporarily complicate stock market movements." JOURIUL JEN TRIES THE BIGAMIST, There once was a man named Hoch, Who took marriage just as a joch. Of his wives, eleven He sent to heaven. And now he will have to croch. This is the limit: A Toneka girl dated a letter Tuesday, "Mae 23d." Is this the day to guess that Willie Sell will or will not be pardoned? We have lost count. "I notice Secretary Shaw says he isn't worrying any about the treasury deficit," remarked Bill Doolittle today. "I ain't either. The deficit I am worrying about just now is the one in the column showing the standing of the White Sox." Here is a good joke: You know how strenuously faithful the Capital is to Tom Kelly. Well, the other day the State Journal printed an editorial set ting forth a few plain facts about the treasury situation, and now it is going the rounds of the state press credited to the Capital. "I notice that Rojestvensky Is hav ing nervous prostration," remarked Deacon Twogood today. "I used to have it too when father would tell me to meet him in the woodshed and I knew there was a licking ahead for me." This is the closed season for most game, but it is the open season for umbrellas much of the time. The State Journal has cheering news that the supply of winter is about exhausted where they keep that sort of thing. "Corn jumps six cents," says a dis patch. A Topeka man has one which made him jump 27 inches straight up the other day when he accidentally dropped a brick on it. If we have to wait more than a month longer for that scrap to be pulled off in the China sea, iur waiter will be pretty well worn out. The cable dispatches say that an other batch of Moros have been paci fied. Nothing is said about the funer al arrangements. The Washington correspondents have accepted only four new jobs for Paul Morton in the last three days. New jobs paying $50,000 a year or more seem to be getting scarce. "What is so rare as a day in June?" queries an eastern editor in a quota trve mood. Come to think about it, they are pretty rare along in the mid dle of May, but if he can wait two or three weeks there will be June days to burn. JAYHAWKER JOTS The Mitchell county poor farm is a source of income to the county. It has earned $900 over and above expanses during the past year and has tu lieu that amount inr.o the county treasury. At that rate it might pay counties to have more poor farms. Portis is talking of tural school con solidation. There is a move on foot to combine four school districts into one. This is a subject that has not been agi tated as much as it should have been: since Frank Nelson went out of -the state superintendent's office. J. Austin Marshall, who used to be connected with the newspaper busi ness at Concordia, has fallen from grace so far that he is engaged in the life insurance business, and he was re cently given a prize by his company for writing more policies than any other agent. Incidentally it might be remarked that he used to practice hypnotism. Vic Murdock will have to square some things when he gets back from Cali fornia. He sent back word that he could not meet some. of his Kansas engage ments because he was laid up with the rheumatism out there, and a day or two later the story came along about his plunging into the ocean and rescuing a couple of women from drowning. That looks like he was laid up with rheuma tism, doesn't it! The Eclipse is authority for a story that a female shepherd dog at the Par sons state insane hospital has adopted a number of motherless kittens, and the dog is not an inmate of the asylum, either. The dog carried the kittens to the store room, a distance of 30.0 yards, and seemed so attached to them that Mr. Harvey, the steward at the hospital, secured a box large enough for the dog and the kittens, which the strange fam ily is now occupying. The dog puts in the most of the time with the kittens, and the attachment is as strong as it ordinarily is between a mother cat and her kittens. Park Findley of Beloit has received a letter from a friend who lives near Sny der, Okla., and who visited the scene of the? recent tornado shortly after the storm. It gives a better idea of what the tornado actually did than many of the newspaper dispatches. An extract from the letter as published in the T'.e loit Gazette, is as follows: "The only way to get a correct idea of the awful ness of the storm is to look over the ground. A space a quarter of a mile wide clear across the main residence part of town, where probably 100 dwell ings stood, there is not a vestige of any thing, except occasionally a dead horse or cow; even the grass is cut off right close to the ground. One can track the storm's width to a hair's breadth, as the ground in its path is without grass and covered with mud and slime, with splin ters from as long as one's finger to as long as one's arm driven in the earth. On the north side of town, where the storm was the heaviest, you can't find a particle of anything that looks like a piece of a house, or furniture, or stove, or bed, or anything that pertains to housekeeping absolutely every vestige of everything is gone, and gone out of sight. There are more boards, house hold effects, plunder, etc., twenty miles from the town than there is any place between." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Generally a woman will mind a man if she thinks he doesn't mean it. A woman's time to be cheerful is when she doesn't want people to know she is blue. A man pets so much older than his wife as they so on that it seems almost like a crime for her to he married to him. There is something mighty deceptive about the way r girl lets you think vou are interesting because her mother told her to. About the only consolation in being old is that you realize you know less than you thought you did when you were young and had more fun. KANSAS COMMENT WHAT: DOES THIS MEAN? The news comes from Topeka that "Stubbs saw Governor Hoch." The in formation down this way is that the governor saw Stubbs and went him sev eral better. Parsons Sun. o SILENCE COULD BE HEARD.

If Governor Hoch is so anxious to have the silver service used on the bat tleship Kansas, made in Kansas, in face of the fact that Kansas does not have any silver, why does he not change the service to gold and have it made out of Trego county shale? Lawrence World. ALBAUGH'S COLLECTION. One of the dentists at the state dental association at Topeka this week gave a lecture on "Teeth of Some Ancient American Races," but he could have made it a good deal more interesting if he had exhibited that collection which Mort Albaugh pulled for the Populist party when he was chairman of the Republican state committee. Parsons Sun. o NOT WHEN BRISTOW'S THERE. A grafter in Korea has been put out of business by the United States gov ernment. All grafters should live in Washington to be safe from harm. Parsons Eclipse. DON'T ARGUE. When you see a funnel-shaped black cloud with the small end reaching the ground, get out of the way of it and do not stop to argue whether it is a cyclone or a tornado. The surest way out is to run to the south if the storm is near, because it is supposed to al ways move to the northeast. Wichita Eagle. THE DIFFERENCE. The vice president of the United States gets a salary of $8,000 a year. The vice president of the Equitable Life draws a salary of $100,000 per an num and has side grafts that bring him about $50,000 more. Troy Chief. o INTELLIGENT STENOGRAPHER.

"It is a tremendous undertaking to get a new play accepted and produced," said Clyde Fitch to a friend the other day. "So many are written and so few ever see the light of day. An English playwright with a gift of humorous ex aggeration illustrated this fact once. He told me he submitted a play to a cele brated actor, and how in the course of the conversation the rfctor remarked: 'Don't you think this room is rather cold? 'It is rather cold,' the young play wright admitted. "Then the actor rang and a servant appeared. 'James,' he said, 'put three more manuscripts on the fire.' Milwaukee Sentinel. Reciprocity In Business. The owner of the Makepiece Flour Mills looked sternly at the provision dealer who had for some years supplied the wants of his household. "Those last apples you sent us were good," he said, with a keen eye fixed on the other man's face, "but they were in undersized barrels, my wife tells me, smaller than ever before. She says that the three barrels would scarcely make two and a half of the proper size. How do you account for it?" "I can't." said the provision dealer, with apparent distress of mind, "I snum, I can't! There I had my wife send me down three of your barrels that we've been getting flour in, and just packed the apples in and headed 'em up with burlap. 'For,' says I to her, 'I believe in reciprocity, and I'm bound he shall have just as good measure of apples as we got of flour," I says. Now don't it beat all?" Youth's Companion. The Hot One. August Belmont, at a certain di rectors' meeting, was describing a fraud that had been brought to light in a proposition laid before the board. "These gentlemen," said Mr. Belmont, "gave themselves away. They stood convicted out of their own mouths. They were like the innkeeper's family that conducted the weekly raffle. "In this raffle the prizes were turkeys, ducks, young pigs, baskets of eggs, and such like rural commodities. A quan tity of steel discs, numbered from 1 to 25, were put into a black bag, and the little daughter of the innkeeper put her hand into the bag and drew a disc for each speculator in turn. The person whose number was the highest got the prize. "Well, it had been noticed that the innkeeper's wife got the prize pretty frequently, but nothing was thought of this by the simple, honest rural folk. "One evening, though, the little girl, with her hand in the bag, paused. It was her mother's turn, and she did not draw forth her mother's disc in her usual quick and careless way. She rummaged about. The other rafflers looked at one another oddly. The inn keeper said:- "'Come, come, child, hurry up.' 'But,- father,' said the little girl, I can't find the hot one." Modem Armaments. S. W. Briggs, secretary of the Amer ican Red Cross, said of modern war fare the other day: "The expense of keeping perfectly armed is infinite. For a nation to keep perfectly armed is, indeed, im possible. It is like trying to fill a sieve with water. "There was repeated to me the oth er day a remark that illustrates, in a humorous way, the futility and the cost of modern armaments. "The head of a great armor and gun making house said to the agent of a foreign government: 'Then, sir, I understand that you want us to make you an armor plate no projectile can pierce? We are producing armor plate like that daily.' 'No,' replied the military agent, 'you mistake me. I want to know if you can make a gun that will pierce any armor plate.' 'Certainly, sir. certainly.' said the manufacturer. 'We are doing that sort of thing every day.' Ambition. "Secretary Hay, before he went abroad for his health," said a con gressman, "talked a little sadly about ambition. "He was ill, and ambition seemed to be, after alC not a very wise thing. "He told me, with a smile, of a lit tle English farm boy whom he had once heard say: "I wish I was a king.' "Interested and amused by such a remark, Mr. Hay said to th.e little farm boy: 'And what would you do If yon were a king?' 'I'd eat my fill of fat bacon and swing on a sate all day long.' An Item of Strength. George Ade was talking about some buildings that had collapsed, half finished, in Chicago. "They were put up," said Mr. Ade, "by builders of a type too familiar to us in America. "I once heard of two of these build ers who, over a glass of beer, met and talked together like this: 'Jones, you always have better luck than me.' 'Better luck How so?' 'Why, how else do you account for my row of new buildings blowing down in last week's wind, while your's weren't harmed? All were built the same fame woodwork, same mortar, everything.' "Yes," said the other builder, "but you forget that mine had been pa pered.' POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Delirium tremens is but anot.ier name for a tight fit.

THE EVENING STOR Y t The Heart of a Man. It was an evening in June the kind that makes a man feel 21 and senti mental the kind that makes him hope that heaven will be a long way off, and yet makes him feel that it's very near. I was taking a solitary ramble in the woods, deep in reverie, and lazily calling up the dead past, when the parting of soma shrubbery brought to view the figure of a girl. She was seated on the bank of the creek, her hands lying idly in her lap, and her face turned from me. Her attitude was. one of repose. "Ah," thought I to myself, "she Is probably waiting for her lover. Her parents are no doubt Cruel, and she has to steal away tosee her loved one. I shall wait to see what happens." I settled myself fo- a ehort vigil, but as the minutes dragged slowly- by I became very weary. I dared not smoke for fear of attracting her at tention. She betrayed no agitation, but after ten minutes had passed I became very indignant at the tardy lover. The sight of that loyal, true- hearted girl waiting so patiently for some wretch (for I had no doubt by this time that he was a wrotch) made ail my boyish passions rise in mo once more, and I felt quite young .enough to knock the follow down when he should appear, tell him what I thought of him, 'and carry the girl away with me. (I'm a married man, and have three children.) Fifteen minutes twenty minutes. I drew out my knife, opened it, and felt the edge. Then I put it back in my pocket. But, I argued, it would be a blessing to kill this villain, who had stolen her affections, and Save Her from Herself. I fairly turned to lay hold of him. Then I began to observe her more closely. No, her attitude could hardly be called one of waiting possibly it was one of Despair. The more I con sidered that idea, the better I liked it. In that case, all I had to do was to comfort her. If I could only catch a glimpse of her face'. But even as I was longing for this she turned her head not enough to see me, but so that I had a splendid view of her features. My first thought was of her great womanly courage no tears were rolling down her cheeks, her face showed no pronounced signs of anguish, and my consciience rebuk ed my imagination for the pathetic look I discerned in her eyes. (As yet I was some distance from her). Women's tears frighten me but when I saw none on that placid physiognomy, I became bolder and quietly advanced, stopping again a few yards from where she sat. Suddenly my heart gave a great leap. I had not lived in vain. Even my conscience approved what I saw. Great tears gathered in her eyes, her lips trembled, her whole face twitched, and, unable longer to control herself, she buried her face in her hands. Now was my time. My heart was beating. I hurried forward, leaned over her, laid my hand gently on her bent head, and softly said: (I can still hear the pity throbbing in my tones) "Little girl, you are in trouble. Tell me tell me what I can do to help you. Anything, be lieve me, that is in my power I shall be glad to do. Confide in me, little one. What troubles you?" She looked up with big, startled eyes, and 'replied, timidly, "Why, nothin', I jus' came pret' near sneezin'.". It was still an evening in June. I turned my steps homeward where my wife and three children were waiting for me. The frogs were beginning to croak.. IMOGEN TRACY. Topeka, Kansas. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.

Consequently a secret meeting of the Grange was held and it was deter mined to defeat the bonds.

Governor Hoch says: "I am not much of a hand for big portraits; I don't like them very well. The only one I ever had made was a big crayon portrait, and we keep it down cellar. But this young man asked as a special favor to him that I sit for him. and I finally agreed to do so.

Merely the Preliminary Skir ixiish Takes Place. ACTION IS POSTPONED. Another Turn to Be Taken Fri day Night. Council Will Investigate Finan ces of Company. An investigation into the accounts and business relations covering the past five years of the Edison Electric Illuminating company will be conducted by a council committee together with the aid of an expert accountant in or der to determine if it can give the pro per rate or rates which should be em bodied in a franchise and yet permit the company to make 10 per cent net earnings upon the capital stock as pro vided for in the statutes of the state. The Edison Electric Illuminating company was represented by JoaB Mul vane, T. P. Doran, attorney, and Sup erintendent Maunsell, while the citizens were represented by David dvermyer. The resolution calling for the investi gation was introduced by Councilman Green immediately upon the considera tion of the franchise by the council last evening. In introducing his resolution Mr. Green said: "The question before this council is. what rates are proper. What rates can be adopted and yet permit the company to pay a liberal percentagle upon its capital invested, not an extortionate rate but in accord ance with that called for in the law. I take it that there are just two ways for the council to get at this question of rates. One is to hire an expert elec trician and have him report exhaustive ly to the city council after making a thorough examination of the plant and the other, more simpler way, is for the council to appoint a committee from the council members, together with an expert accountant and go in and exam ine the company's books, its properties, its investments, its capital stock and its dividends and. then arrive at what would be just for the council to fix in the ay of rates." Mr. Mulvaue Explains. Following the reading of the resolu tion Mr. Mulvane secured the permis sion of the council to present the wish es and the situation of the Edison com pany. He spoke of the contemplated ex tension of the plant. Councilman Eyder said: "Will you put up a cash forfeiture, Mr. Mulvane, to make the $100,000 extension if the franchise, fair to you, is passed? Will you bind yourself in case this franchise is passed to put up a reasonable cash forfeit that the improvements you speak of will take place within a given time." Mr. Mulvane replied:"."I refuse to do that. I will, howeveii, put up a cash forfeit that the plant will be jenlarged to meet the demands as they present them selves." Coimeilman Hughes securedt.the floor and said: "1 understand that-thjs' Edi son company has issued $300,0(0 in" cap ital stock and then has increased it fur ther to $500,000. The law provides that anything above the 10 per cent earnings of the plant upon the .capital stock r-hall be paid to the city but they evade that law by paying 60 per cent dividends on the capital and then issue stock divi dends of 40 per cent. The council ought to go in and investigate fully their books and find out what they are doing. I'm in favor of the resolution." Mr. Joab Mulvane replied to the coun cilman from the Sixth ward: "I am not going to enter into any financial dis cussion with my friend, Colonel Hughes, tonight. I am not going to be switched off by any bombastic utterances on his part. I think, however, that you will make a mistake if you pass this resolu tion. You require us to make a detailed statement of all our transactions and accounts within 5 days. That is entire ly impossible. There is only one man who has that knowledge anci those items and he is not in the city. Mr. Wilder is at present in Arizona and he posses ses all of that information. It would be impossible for us therefore to produce what you wish in the time that you ask. I think that you would not be able to advance one step further if you do pass this resolution. You are simply delay ing matters." Councilman Swendson supported the idea, to table the resolution and said in support of this view: "Gen tlemen, I am against this resolution. We have been delaying from time to time and I think that if we do what this resolution contemplates we will be in the position that we are tonight, We will not be one step further to wards solving this problem. We should act on this franchise. I move to refer this resolution to a committee of the whole." On putting this to a vote,' Council men Ryder, Simms, Green, Horn, Griley, Hughes. Nipps and Shimer voted no while Councilmen Howe, Swendson and Holliday voted aye. The motion failed to carry. Then the mo tion to adopt the resolution was put and carried by 7 to 4. Ayes, Ryder, Griley. Green, Horn, Hughes, Nipps and Shimer. No, Holliday, Howe, Swendson and Simms. The resolution was slightly amend ed by Councilman Griley making it possible to engage nn expert account ant or not as the council may de termine later. Councilman Simms, who has all along given himself out in his inter views as in favor of substantially amending the franchise, explained his vote on the resolution last night by saying that he was in favor of getting down upon the- matter of the fran chise itself and fighting out the ques tion of rates in the body of the coun cil. He said that he did not believe that an investigation of the books or accounts would result in any material information. Councilman Hughes reiterated his charge that the Edison company has evaded the law by paying a stoek dividend of 40 per cent. "I have asked Mr. Mulvane to deny and he has not denied it," said he. "I do deny it." retorted Mr. Mul vane. "But as I said before I do not propose to enter into any financial argument tonight." Take Tp Franchise. The council decided after some .lit tle argument that it would resolve itself into a committee of the whole to discuss the sections of the franchise. David Overmyer, representing the citi zens opposing the granting of the pro posed franchise, then asked for per mission to present a memorial signed by the committee from the citizens voicing their wishes with regard to terms' which should be embodied in a franchise if granted. The memorial has already been printed. The memo rial was read to the council and placed on file. Mr. Overmyer then re quested that tha action of the coun cil be deliberate and with a dife re gard to the wishes "of the citizens of the city. The first section of the franchise was then read. Councilman Ryder introduced an amendment to the effect that all wires and poles of the company wherever practicable should be placed in the alleys of the city un der the direction of Jhe city engineer. The amendment carried without a dis senting vote. Then the council struck a snag. Trie first section provides that the life of the franchise shall be thirty years, the maximum allowed by law. Council man Shimer moved that it be amend ed to read ten years. Representatives both from the Edison company and the citizens op posing secured the attention of the council and argued for or against the amendment. Attorney T. F. Doran for the Edison company said that it would work a decided detriment to the company to cut down its fran chise to a term of ten years; that bonds to increase the plant contem plated could not be floated. He said he understood that the company would expend $100,000 in an exten sion of the plant if the franchise would be granted. David Overmyer, in behalf of the citizens, said: "We, the people, for I am the representa tive of the people in this instance, de mand that you halt. You may want a plant in five years, you may not want it at all; you may want a plant in ten years, you may not want it at all. Why tie your hands? There can be no reason from the standpoint of the people, from the Standpoint of the taxpayers of this city. If you grant this first section of the franchise as it stands you might as well grant the whole franchise. The gist of the franchise is contained in this first sec tion. It represents a virtual monop oly. Great changes and improve ments may take place in thirty years. Why tie the-city to a, monopoly?" It was then 11:20, and the council decided to postpone further consider ation of the franchise until Friday evening. Personal feeling crept into the dis cussion during the evening. T. F. Doran intimated that the resolution introduced by Councilman Green was drawn up by some other person and that there was a sinister motive back of the investigation proposed by the resolution. Councilman Green arose to defend himself: "I have nothing to be ashamed of. I am the sole author of that resolution and introduced it with no other motive than it express es. I think my record here in the council and my record as a business man have both shown that I am above board." Attorney Doran apologized. Overmyer and Doran in an inter change of hostilities so far forgot themselves as to become ensnared in a political dispute over the issue of silver. Mr. Green's Kesolution. The resolution introduced by Coun cilman Green follows: In order to frame a franchise ordi nance, the terms of which will be fair and equitable alike to the Edison Elec tric Illuminating company and the citizens of Topeka it is necessary that the mayor and council have a thor ough knowledge of all matters per taining to the financial conditions and the assets, capital invested and profits of said company: therefore, be it Resolved bv the mayor and council of the city of Topeka, that the Edison Electric Illuminating company be ana is hereby requested to furnish within five days a detailed statement show ing the following items and facts: 1.

"No," replied the sheriff of Kearny county, "I said there were many peo ple coming out to buy the land." Sheriff F. P. McAlister, of Lakin, 40 miles from the Kansas western boundary and in the very shortest of the short grass country, was in To peka yesterday with a crazy man who set fire to a barn and burned it up. When asked why he did it, the crazy man said that he wanted to warm his feet. "This man," declares Sheriff Mc Alister, "is the only man in Kearny county who has cold feet." A short conversation- with Sheriff McAlister is enough to convince al- most anybody that if there is any place where a fortune can be easily made; if there is any place where the poor man has a chance to get rich; if there is any place on this earth which bears a distinct resemblance to future bliss, it is Kearny county, Kansas. "The time to get a foothold in the western counties of Kansas is right now," says Sheriff McAlister. "There is still a lot of cheap land, which in a few years will be worth as much as any of the wheat land in the state. Now it can be bought for $3.60 per acre. Five years ago the same land was worth about $50 a quarter sec tion. Kearny county is certain to be one of the big wheat counties of the state. The more people come there, and the more the ground is tilled, the faster will be its development. Break ing the land is what is increasing the rainfall. The whole surface of the ground has been covered with a heavy mat of buffalo grass. The rain has run off as soon as it fell; none has soaked into the ground. For the past three years we have been get ting good rains in the fall and spring and heavy snows in winter, an ideal condition for wheat, and this fall I expect that a great deal of wheat will be planted in our county. Corn is already a profitable crop, going 50 to 60 bushels to the acre. "All this is due to improved cultiva tion. When I went to Kearny county 20 years ago, the business was cattle grazing. The so-called 'Texas farmers,' by plowing the ground a couple of inches deep and throwing in wheat, were about to. raise three crops without another seecfVtjg. They let the rtpening wheat stand until part of it shook out upon the ground, and then harvested the rest. Such slip-shod methods of farming did. not help the country. Then came,the modern methods of deep plow ing, -ditskingoand. thorough cultivation. This opened up the ground, let the rain soak in, and kept our moisture at home, instead of allowing it all to run off in the Arkansas river. That is what is redeeming, the, western counties o. the state. "There are two kinds of land in Kearny county; the part which lies in the valley of the Arkansas river, and the upland, where the buffalo grass grows, and which people used to think as no good except for pasture. "Down in the valley is where we raise the sugar beets now, by irrigation. There are 1,000 acres of sugar beets in Kearny county this year, and they are looking fine. Last year the farmers made about $100 per acre on tneir sugar beets. A man can attend to about 15 acres of sugar beets, and they thrive in the rich soil of the valley. This valley land is worth about $15 or $20 per acre. "There is not much choice between various locations on the uplands; it is all level and fertile. In some places wa ter is deeper than in others. Some places it can be reached at 80 feet; at others it is 150. When it is reached, it is abundant. Kansas-Colorado Suit. "This irrigation lawsuit which Kan sas has on its hands with Colorado is generally looked upon as a fake; a sort of political graft, which is not likely to be of any practical benefit to the people in our part of the state. We do not expect it to do us any good. "Just at the present time, the river has plenty of water in it, but our two irrigation ditches, one leading south and one north, have been allowed to fall into bad repair. They will be fixed up before long, however, and be put back to use. "I understand there was some talk in the last legislature of taking the school lands off the market. It is too late to do that now. The school lands which are now being sold are bringing a good price. When they were selling for $1.25 per acre, there was some reason for taking them off the mar ket, but they are bringing $3.50 now, so what's the use? If the state can get $3.50 that is a fair price. "T tMnfc the chances are that Dr. G. W. Richards, our representative in the last legislature, will be re-elected without much opposition. He did very satisfactory work for us in the last house, and the people realized that he was interested in the sugar oeei prop-stir.,-, Me did his best to get through the bill allowing a $20,000 bounty, but had to take $10,000. in another bill as a compromise. That $1,000 bill was passed as the result or an arrange ment with the oil people who wanted the help of the western Kansas repre sentatives in the passage of their oil refinery bill. They gave us our beet bounty for another year and we voted fr- the oil refinerv. We were all in favor of the oil refinery anyway, so it was a rood trade for us. For Infants and Children.

PIUAUD IS INTENDED TO SCARE. Fuel Pipe Men Slim Up tlie Standard's Hecent Announcement. Chanute, Kan., May 24. Oil pro ducers here are inclined to be skept ical about the announcement of the Standard Oil company that it Tvill be gin taking all Kansas and Territory oil -within the next few days. Pro ducers here call to mind letters from Standard people written two years ago saying- oil would go to $2 a barrel, and they cannot remember when the promise was ever complied with. The producers in the Chanute and Hum boldt districts see in this latest move of the Standard an attempt to make sentiment against the fuel oil pipe line and refinery scheme. Investigation reveals that the Stan dard company is not taking any more oil in this district than it has been taking for the last four months. The pumping station at the foot of North Evergreen avenue is still idle and the men who were laid off in February are still off. None of the connections torn out in February and March has been replaced. None of the proper ties placed on the blacklist early in the year has been informed that its production would be taken again. None of the properties supplying oil to the Standard for years has been notified that the taking of the Stand ard Oil company would be increased. While there are stories that the Stand ard is increasing its pipe line runs in Chautauqua county, it can be stated as a fact that it has not increased its tak ings in Neosho, Allen and Woodson counties. The only hope for better times lies in the promises made by the pipe line superintendents of the Stand ard Oil company, and these promises are none of them very definite. A DIXXEIt FOR SENATOR LOXG.

GAS WAR IS Ofl- (Continued from First Page.) meetings were held last night, the larg est of which took place at the Bourse. Can't Force tlie Mayor. According to the programme of the leaders the U. G. I. bill will be passed over the mayor's veto at the next Stated meeting on June 1. What good this will do cannot be seen, for the bill is merely an authorization for the mayor to enter into a contract on be half of the city with the United Gas Improvement company. If he does not wish to do so he will not have to sign the contract, for the Bullitt charter cistinctly says that councils shall not interfere or direct the mayor or heads cf departments in the exercise of their executive functions. If the leaders plan fo authorize any other officers, for instance, to sign the contract, the mayor could show how earnestly he is opposed to the bill by promptly dismissing that officer, be fore he had time to enter Into the agreement. But if the bill were to nominate a "row" officer, like City Controller Walton, who is elected by the people, he would be beyond the mayor's power. When it comes to a Question of over ruling the mayor by voting- to pass the bill over his veto, it is believed 'that several more councilmen wiil join the ranks of the thirteen men who had the courage to stand out against the organization. That they will not be enough to prevent the leader.5? having their plans carried seems almost cer tain. The "whips" in councils are per fectly confident that they w-ill be able to do anything they wish with the bill. Some of the councilmen who voted for the lease are having- unpleasant times, of it with their constituents. For instance. Selectman Horan, of the Ninth ward, and Richards, of the Twenty-fourth, both of whom are in the grain business, were greeted with jeers and cries of "Shame" when they appeared the Commercial exchange. Pupils of the Germantown academy burned the effigy of Select Councilman Edwards, of the Twenty-second ward. People Are Aroused. According to the plans of the com mittee of nine every ward in the city wiil be organized against the gas lease. Meetings will be held in many differ ent places and much literature will be sent out to voters urging them to rise up against and strike at the men who favored the bill. The committee will liold a conference every day. The various women's societies of- the Baptist church have taken it upon themselves to communicate with Mrs. AVeaver with the view of having her use her influence on her husband to stand firm for the people in this fight It is also asserted that the Baptist Ministerial association will take up the matter and urge Mr. Weaver to fight to the last ditch for the defeat of the gas grab. From mouthpieces of the gang came the story that if Mayor Weaver went too far and dared to dismiss Directors Costello and Smyth impeachment pro ceedings would promptly follow. The men who are lined up with the mayor In this fight and the mayor himself, it vas learned, had not only 'heard this kin- of talk, but had laughed at it and declared that it would fail utterly in making any impression on Mr. Weaver. David J. Smyth, former director of public safety, filed a petition m the court of common pleas today asking for an injunction restraining Mayor Weaver from removing him from office and also asked for an injunction restraining Col Sheldon Potter from acting as director of public safety. The same proceedings were taken bv Peter K. Costello, fori)"".- director of public works agiinst the mavor and A. Lincoln Acker who -vas appoi.iti-d to tne office yesterday by the mayor. as I sit in this office, will I cease to fight for it. "You have seen what I think of the gas lease. Within twenty-four hours after the passage of that bill by the councils I made up mv mind what I would do. No living soul but myself knows what I propose to do, but I shall carry out my purpose." "But." cried one of the ministers, "you know vour veto -af this bill Wiil be noth ing. It will be passed over your veto. Cut oft the heads of your departments. They are traitors to the city." "I know that," replied the mayor. "I know my veto is useless, but I tell you the gas lease will not be consummated. As to the methods I have worked out to prevent this they will develop within the next two or three days. I will use all of my power to prevent this great iniquity." KEEPS BOTH SIDES GUESSING. Then the ministers arose and crowded about him. Bitter speeches were made concerning the leaders of the organization. After more prayer the ministers departed. There is only one thing that the oppo nents of the gas lease can depend upon Weaver for. He will veto the bill. The organization can not depend upon him any more than its enemies can. "Perhaps the mayor will stand firm," said one minister, dubiously shaking his head. "Not one of us knows whnt the mayor will do," said a leader. "What's more, nobody cares." At a mass meeting held later it was re solved to boycott socially and in business the councilmen who will override the may or's veto on the lease. There will be a parade of protest and every business and trade organization in the city will meet to take action on the gas lease question. YACHTS FAR APART. Indications That Racers Are Not Keeping Near Together. New York, May 24. A three masted schooner yacht believed to be the American built Utowana, one of the contestants in the transatlantic race for the Emperor William cup, was sighted at 4 p. m. on May 21 by the oil tank steamer LaCarapine, 540 miles due east of Sandy Hook lightship. The tank steamer reported sighting the yacht when she arrived here today from Antwerp. The officers of La Campine said they passed within a quarter of a mile of the sailing vessel and although they were unable to dis tinguish her signals or name, they were satisfied from her lines that she was the Utowana. The Atlantic, another of the racing yachts, which was reported several days ago as sighted late at night on the 20th, had covered nearly 700 miles up to that time. Making Fast Time. Philadelphia, May 24. Captain Crosby of the British tank steamer Saxolein, which here today from Car diff, reports having passed two of the yachts which are now racing across the Atlantic. On Saturday, May 20, at 2 a. m. in latitude 42:40, longitude 61:41, the Saxolein passed a three masted schooner yacht, supposed to be the Atlantic, and at 7 a. m. on the same day she passed an American bark supposed to be the Apache. The weather at the time was fine and there was a fresh westerly wind. Cap tain Crosby says that the boats were making fast time. GOES BACK TO PRISON. Machen Will Not Be Tried on Remain ing Indictments. SAYS HE'LL KILL IT. Mayor Weaver Slakes Fledge to Min isters of the City. Philadelphia, Pa., May 24. The campaign Cf prayer by the preachers here against the g:is lfase has been carried into MLiyor Weaver's office. About in ministers knelt about him and prayed that he take action against the proceedings of the city in rne municipal g,is works to a pri vate concern for 75 years. While one min ister exhorted the mayor the rest prayed. The mayor declared he would kill the measure. As he realized that his veto would he useless, he saiii he would take more drastic measures. He would not an nounce his plan, but said it would be in operation in a few days. The city hall prayer meeting had its be ginning in the weekly gathering of the Alliance of the Methodist clergymen, where a proposition to go to the city hall was acted upon at once. Tne mayor had been apprised of the ministers' coming and met them. As the spokesman began to address the mayor the balance of tne ministers drop ped to their knees and began to pray. There was a pronounced touch of hys teria to the affair. Finallv. Weaver, pale and shaking, raised his hand for silence Those on their knees staid there while the mayor was sper.klng.

The funeral will be held Saturday. Mr. Ziegler had been an invalid since a runaway accident in which he was in jured last October. He sustained inter nal hurts, and was so severely shocked that the physicians were unable to do little more than ameliorate his Fuffer ings. Mr. Ziegler's condition received a set back a few weeks ago by the shock which he sustained in hearing of an accident to his son who fell on a sharp hook, cutting himself severely. Last Saturday he suffered a stroke of apoplexy. The interment probably will be in Woodland cemetery, New York. Mr. Ziegler is survived by a widow and one son. Mr. Ziegler was born in Beaver coun ty, Fensylvania, September 1, 1843. He was educated in the public schools of Iowa and later learned the printer's trade.

Attorney General Coleman has de cided that the new law authorizing cities of the state to issue waterworks bonds up to 15 per cent of their as sessed valuation does not act as an in crease of 15 per cent on the old law, and according to his decision, the city of Garnett will have to change its plans about issuing $25,000 more of bonds to extend its water mains. G. W. Fallis, president of the Com mercial National bank, of Garnett, which had bought the $25,000 in bonds from the city with the expectation of selling the isue to Nuveen Co., bond buers of Chicago, brought the $25,000 in bonds to Topeka Monday to Jiave them registered bv the state auditor. The auditor looked up the old law, and decided that he could not register the bonds, The law said that tne bonds outstanding should not exceed 1 b rer cent of the assessed valuation, ind this would mean a limit of $48,000 for Garnett. With the new issue of $25,000, the outstanding bonds of Garnett would be brought up to $55,000. Mr. Fallis said that would not do at all; that Garnett needed the whole $25,000 to make necessary extensions, and that according to the way Garnett people interpreted the law, they had the riht to issue waterworks bonds up to 30 per cent of their valuation. They cited a law passed-by the last legislature relating to the issue of bonds for waterworks, gas and other purposes, w'hich says: "No bonds in excess of 15 per centum of the assessed valuation of said city shall be issued under au thority of this act." Garnett claimed to be acting under the new law, and that the new law meant that the 15 per cent should be in addition to the 15 per cent pro vided for under the old law, which was not repealed. It was a point of so much lmpor-' tance that Mr. Fallis wanted to "ap peal the case" from the state auditor to the attorney general. He sent to Garnett for City Attorney Knight to come and make the argument before the attorney general. The hearing took place Tuesday afternoon, with the result that the attorney general susatlned the state auditor, and held that the intention"' of the law was to limit the issue of bonds for waterworks to 15 per cent of the total assessed valuation. It was a case of much importance to the cities of the state of Kansas, for the new law applies to cities of the first, second and third class, and had the contention of the Garnett people been sustained, it would have .been possible to issue waterworks bonds to one-third of the assessed valuation of the city making the Issue. The city of Topeka, for example, could issue waterworks bonds to the amount of nearly $4,000,000. After the attorney general had de cided the case, the Garnett delegation decided to issue $18,000 worth of their new bonds, which would bring the in debtedness up to the limit fixed by the law. They came to the conclusion, after finding that there was no hope of issuing the full $25,000, that pos sibly the city could do the work which it wanted to do with $18,000.

WHEAT Influenced by improved weather in the west and the southwest the eeneral tone of wheat to day was a trifle easier.

Still further, it pivrs impetus to symbolic Masonry and was the cause of the many degrees since fashioned into the ornamental part of the Masonic system.

In all about 75 contestants from the out of town colleges will participate and about 200 college students from Slm- poria, Ottawa and Baker will attend. A special train will be run from Ottawa and Baker for the occasion. The sprinting and relay races will take place on the race track while the weight events will be in front of the grand stand.

Whmmt,m .HI rf a m A-iN X V y Last Summer I had a severe attaok cf Infiarama tory Rheumatism in the knees, from which. I was nnable to leave my room for several months. I tvas treated by two doctors and also tried differ ent kinds of liniments aad medioines whioli seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I Tas not any nearer gettlng well. One day while reading a paper I saw an adver tisement of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I deoided to give it a trial, whiob. I did at once. After I had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I continued to take it regularly until I was en tirely oured, I now feel better than I have for years. CHAS. E. GILDERSLEEVE. G13 S2ad Street, Newport News, Va. While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a winter disease exclusively. Through the long mnntliQ rf Rummpr lie watirlfrintTnai'Tie Tt-t A tftrif f1i ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric :j t, :t. j j: i i n.iu., wiiivh piuuuccs luc uisea.se, lias accumuiaieu. Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en tire system. Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in contact with the different acids of the body forms uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood, making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing the body, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the bod', the poison is distrib uted to all parts. The. nervous S3'stera weakens from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased condition of the entire system is the result. Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable End dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed to remain in the blcod, and the diseane becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints, end they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life. Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather because then the blood takes on new life and the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per manently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflam mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have-any effect on the disease. The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated "before a cure can be effected. S. S. S.,a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment anofstrength to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up every part or tne rxdy by its fane tonic properties. While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re duces all inflammation, relieves pain and completely cures Rheumatism in every form Muscular, Inflamma tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the nagging pains of Rheumatism, do not wait for it to be come chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. and purge the blood of every particle of the poison.

Council Itefuses to Allow Him to Re sign Employment Agency. KL1XGENBERG-TO GO ABROAD. City Clerk Squires presented his resig nation to the council last night with re spect to the city free employment bureau. The council refused to accept it. Mr. Squires was considerably worked up and made this statement to the council: "I have come back Sun days and I have come back nights in order to tend to the duties of this office and keep down the expense in the city clerk's office. I don't believe that it is the intention of the city council to have the city clerk work 10 to 12 hours each day in order to keep down expense. If the employment agency is left in my office nine out of the ten men who ask for work will ask for the city clerk and this will cause constant interruption. The city clerk is contemplating asking now for the hiring of an additional clerk. He will ask the city council to grant him the necessary authority. The free employment bureau has been maintained in the office of the election commissioner for the past four years, since its creation. But the council wants to effect a saving. Commissioner of Elections Titus stated that it would be necessary for him to employ a dep uty commissioner if he retained the free employment bureau. The council therefore cast about to place it in some other office and thus cut off the ap pointment of a deputy. C. A. Magaw, attorney for the bond signers of Tony Kirsch, convicted joint ist, renewed his proposition last night to the city council to compromise the case. The case went against Kirsch, a fine of $100 and costs together with 30 We Will Compare Our Expense Account With that of any other piano house in the United States, and will prove by it that it costs us less to sell a piano than it does any manufacturer or dealer here or anywhere.

The case was appealed to the state supreme court but the decision of the lower court was sustained. Ma gaw threatens to carry it to the United States supreme court. He otters to com promise the case if the city will throw off the jail sentence. He offers to pay the city the $100 fine and the $50 in costs. The proposition was turned down once before by the council and the same fate met the renewal last night. Art ordinance providing for the crea tion of a benefit district for the opening of an alley east and west from east end of present alley in Beal's addition to Chandler street was approved. The bids for the alteration of the offi ces on the second floor of the city build ing for the waterworks offices were let last night. John S. Sheahan secured the plumbing at $35 while Frank Blanch will do the carpentry work for $118. The following appraisers were ap pointed bv the mayor and confirmed by the council last night: R. A. Richards, G. W. Dailey and A. G. F. James. The board will appraise the property liable for the Willow Park benefit district and the alley opening in Beal's addition. The ordinance for the latter was passed last night. The citv engineer's estimate for the change of channel of Martin's creek at Willow avenue was approved.

The following petitions for electric lights were referred to the gas and elec tric light committee: Corner of Curtis and Quiney streets and Curtis and Mon roe streets, also at the intersection of Gordon and Jackson streets.

Coin- Nearly all the final arrangements have been made for the Home Week Festival which will commence here on Saturday June 5. There will be a f-pecial meeting of the amusement committee tomorrow at which all of the unfinished business will be taken up. Mr. E. H. Crosby who has just returned from a business trip to St. Louis, having- received quite a number of applications for the positions of door tenders and Mr. I. M. Elitz. who has been overrun by those seeking concessions, will place their matters before the committee so that all of the linal business mcy be settled. in speaking of the Great Gaskill Shows, who will furnish all of the amusement portion for the Festival, Mr. Crosby says: "I have made it my special business to look up the standing of their entertainment and find that it is the largest and most complete organization of the kind ex tant. I have received many press clippings relative to their shows and from the unanimous verdict of these different papers, 1 am more and more convinced that the entertainment por tion of the Festival will be of a high g.arle. Why, they have an engage ment to fill in Chicago where they will make a stay of six weeks, so if they are g-ood enough for the Windy C.ty for that length of time, I am sure they will please our citizens for a single week. "I am told that there is one feature in the show which is worth going many mites to see, and that is the perilous liight of Oscar Babcock, who loops-the-loop and 'leaps the gap seated on an ordinary bicycle. Ex plained to me by one who has seen the feat, it strikes me as being the most sensational thing ever done. From the top of a great incline up which the wheelman is pulled by a rope, his wheel is loosened and he flies down a track which is just two feet wide, there being no net or other obstruction to break the fall of the rider in the event of a punctured tire or a slight turn of his wheel. At the foot of the incline he flies head over heels around a complete circle, his momentum keeping the wheel on the circuit, comes to the level for a min ute, and then flies out over a thirty foot gap, being caught there by some of the attendants. That, in my opin ion, is strictly 01 tne hair raising or der and should attract crowds at each and every one of his performances. This act is only one of the many feat ures. I merely mention it as it struck me as being the most daring trick tver performed on a bicycle." New York Money. New York, May 24.

C. T. Tj. Admission 10 cte. At St. Joseph's church this morning solemn pontifical high mass was cele brated by Bishop Hennesssy of Wichita. The church was crowded with delegates to the convention of the Catholic Fed eration in session in Topeka. Following the mass was a sermon by Rev. Father Thomas Burke, of Seneca, founder of the Catholic federation, on "Our Duties as American Citizens." Father Burke is an Interesting and fluent speaker and he was followed closely by the federation delegates and the members of the church who attend ed the services. Following the services the executive committee of the federation held a busi ness session. In his sermon Father Burke said: "We read in the American press articles on patriotism but we read very little of our duties toward God. This is called the age of progress and society is so taken up with the affairs of the world that many seem to forget the Creator. We hear of material progress, but that can not save us. Religion is the sal vation of the nation. What then are our duties toward God and the state? These questions agitate the world. The church will not countenance divorce but the state does. The church will not sanction our system of public schools, as it eliminates God. The church will not acquiesce in anything against jus tice and religion. Better to obey God than man. No government has the right to rule against justice, truth and religion for such ruling would be an archy. Question of Kducation. "The Catholic citizen's civil duties are not only civil but sanctified. The principal contention between the church and state is the question of educating the young. Among- Cath olics this is not a debatable question. The state has no right to teach re ligion. This belongs to the church alone. History proves that no state, ancient nor modern, ever existed with out religion. I mean to say that un less the greatest majority be imbued with the principles of religion, and un less they feel dependent upon the su preme being and accountable to him, he can not be expected to obey civil laws when these laws can be evaded with advantage to himself, and with out fear of detection. No government that ignores God can expect the al legiance of the subjects and its civil law has no solid foundation. "Patriotism, the noblest of national virtues, burns as bright in the hearts of Catholics as of non-Catholics, and why not? For this is our country and our children's and our children's chil dren's country. America, we love thee and would pour out our life's blood in thy defense. The Catholic obeys civil law for conscience's sake. Those who know us now and view us through the prejudiced eye think we can not be good Catholics and good citizens at the same time. Catholics fought in the defense of the country from the revolutionary war down to and includ ing the Spanish war. The Catholic citizens fought side by side and shoul der to shoulder with the non-Catholics. "What have we Catholics ever done that our loyalty should be questioned? Have we ever taken up arms against our government and planned its over throw "In this country liberty of con science is guaranteed. Let our Amer ican people not forget that this free dom was first put into practice by colony of Catholics. Why should Catholics be singled out as the enemy of the republic? A republic for which thousands of Catholics shed their blood. We will not yield one hair's breadth in our love for the govern ment and for the church; that grand old church which has stood for 1,900 years; that grand old church whose missionaries penetrated Asia and the jungles of Africa and the primeval forests of our own country. America was discovered by a Catholic explorer. "In civil lije, we are American citizens and proud ot that title, and we are glad to be in the happiest and freest country on earth, whose flag has never been stained by blood on account of religious tyranny. Liberal and hospitable Ameri ca throws open her gates to religious exiles from Ireland, from Germany snd every country of the globe. "In Europe the church is bound bv the civil authorities. Here in the glor ious united States it Is free and exuberant, the benign sun of liberty seems to have shown with good upon the Catholic church in the last hundred years. It was said that the Catholic church could not exist in a free country, but it has been shown that in a free field the Catholic church is the most prosperous of any in the country despite the fact that the church supports the parochial scnoois. "When this country was born, cv a hundred years ago, the Catholic church had in this country one bishoo, 39 priests and 40,000 members. In Kan sas alone today we have three bishoos. 230 priests and 80,000 members, while in the United States we have 13,300 priests ana io.uuu.nuu cnurcn members, to say notnmg or nospitais, colleges, universi ties, schools, homes for the aged and other Catholic institutions. From the southern to the northern border, from east to west, our doors are thrown open to charity, ttin our enemies sav that the Catholic church is on the point of extinction. "The government of the Catholic church and the government of the Unit ed States bear a great resemblance. The pope is elected by a limited suffrage while the president is elected by uni versal suffrage. Every Catholic dio cese has a bishop and home rule and every state has a governor and state government. The Catholic church is not bounded by national lines. It is world wide and universal with its cap ital at Rome. Its sun never sets. "The Catholic church never interferes in politics but its members should all exercise their citizenship. The Catho lics of this country must become thor oughly Americanized and nerfeetlv in sympathy with the social life. We ex ercise less influence today on legislation than the weakest denomination.

Tribute to Father Ilayden. The meeting of the delegates to the Federation of Catholic Societies con vention in Topeka at a time when Rev. Father Hayden, of the Church of the Assumption, is about to leave for a trip to Ireland, has brought to lo peka from all parts of Kansas many Catholic divines and laymen who esteem Father Hayden most highly and who are glad to have the oppor tunity to bid him a safe journey. At Father Hayden's house yesterday Bishop Lillis and many Catholic priests were entertained by atner Hayden. A committee from Topeka council of the Knights of Columbus called upon Father Hayden and de livered to him the following testimonial: "Dear Reverend Pastor: It is with feelings of sincefe veneration that the members of Topeka Council 534, Knights of Columbus, desire to ex press their tender love and earnest ad miration for their worthy chaplain upon his departure from the country of his adoption to dear old Ireland, the land of his birth. "Dear Father Hayden,, this small token of esteem and high regard for your several Christian virtues is not to be regarded, alone, as the mental and moral worth of your assistance as the first chaplain of the first council in the great state of Kansas, in which there are at the present time over thirty-seven councils, composed of the flower of American manhood and sturdy champions of the Catholic church, but to record our apprecia tion of your exalted character as a citizen of this grand commonwealth and inflexible fidelity to the govern ment of the United Slates; to your suc cessful efforts in breaking down the barriers of race and religious hatred and substituting therefor the father hood of God and the brotherhood of man; to the untiring solicitude which We stvles, have 'em in all shapes, leathers, and at all prices. See our issortment before buying. We show dozens of styles in black and tans, plain and shiney leathers, for $3, $3.50, $2, $4, $2.50, $1.50. Let us fit you in a pair tomorrow. you have shown for the welfare of our noble order; to the constructive genius and wisdom so forcibly manifested in your magnificent church and parson age, splendidly equipped parochial schools with the necessary accommo dations in modern buildings for the Sisters of Charity, and to your pious, priestly life which was consecrated to the honor and glory of God and the salvation of souls thirty years ago in 'The Lovely Isle of Saints.' "Then adieu, brave Christian soldier! Go take your well earned vacation in the land of your sires, among the daisy clad hills and dells, beautiful lakes and placid rivers, wild retreats and moun tain paths made sacred by noble war riors and the blood of martyrs, the round towers and ancient castles of more ancient kings, crowned in song and ftory, and to again mingle in the sun shine of your early associations, of splendid manhood and the matchless purity and beauty of Irish womanhood; in the midst of all this natural grand eur, pause and turn your face to the great white throne of heaven and in voke th Divine Master to strengthen and guide our noble army of Christian soldiers and your loving parishioners to deeds in accordance with the precepts of the Golden Rule, and which may commend them to the gratitude of man kind and God's eternal friendship. "Again, a loving good-bye, and go drink at the fountain of your first love and aspirations, and renew your vows to her who is as 'bright as the sun and as fair as the moon,' and when you have imbibed of.thesa divine luxuries, we cherish the hope that you will re turn to us rejuvenated, to resume your spiritual duties as parish priest and worthy chaplain of the best parish, the best fraternal society, in the best and most progressive city in the United States.

A. Hopes to Get a Generous Donation. When Tom Lawson comes to Kan sas in July he will be asked by Gover nor Hoch to separate himself from $5,000 of frenzied, unfrenzied or any kind of finance. The T. M. C. A. wants that amount from the man who made Everybody's magazine famous, and it is believed that he will give it up. The inspiration came about in this manner. On Tuesday morning Har old T. Chase and Warren M. Crosby called on President C. K. Holliday of the Commercial club, to solicit from him a larsre subscription. "Whv not ask Lawson for about $5,000 when he comes here," suggest ed Mr. Hollidav. "He won't notice that amount at all, and I dare say that since he is going on so much about Kansas right now, he will be willing to give a sum like that for the sake of the advertisement It brings mm. "Good idea," chimed Mr. Chase and Mr. Crosbv in chorus. "Get the governor to ask Lawson for the amount?" suggested Mr. Hol lidav further. So it was decided to confer with Governor Hoch immediately upon his return to the city, and have him tackle Lawson for $5,000, when that famous financier comes to the state. The T. M. C. A. building fund now amounts to $54,000.

Carr Taylor Thinks Pullman Company Is Under Kansas Jurisdiction. Carr W. Taylor, attorney for the board of railroad commissioners, has given it as his opinion to the board that the railroad law gives to the board jurisdiction over the Pullman company, and the board will doubtless go ahead with the prosecution of the case brought by R. S. Cones of Garden City, charging discrimination in Pullman rates. The Pullman company, as has been fully explained in the State Journal, denies the authority of the board of railroad commissioners, to regulate, its affairs in any way. The board will hear the Cones' case sometime in June, and if the Pullman company refuses to defend itself at that hearing, the case will be tested before the courts. Card of Tlinnks.

The kidneys become weak through lack of nerve energy, and fail to filter the uric acid from the blood; this acid attacks and burns the nerves and muscles, and consumes the oil in the joints, producing inflammation, fever, swelling pain. To cure Rheumatism, then, you must restore the kidney nerves and muscles, and neu tralize the effect of the acid upon the joints and tissues with Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, a nerve medicine, which has made many cures of this painful disease. Nervine strengthens the kidney nerves and increases the circulation, and relief is assured. "Before I took Dr. Miles' Nervine, I had been looking for a cure for Rheumatism for 25 years. The last time I was laid tip for several months, could not get out of bed or set foot on the floor. I tried remedies to rub In. to drink, doctors' prescriptions, etc.. but none of them had any effect. One day I read about Dr. Miles' Nervine and got a bottle. After the first dose I had a good nisrht's rest, and after taking half a bottle tha pains disappeared, and I went out and walked aii around the town. In a week I wr-nt to work, and was perfectly cured, but continued to take the medicine for a time, to make sure the pains would not come brack." TH03. LONG. S13 N. Chatham St., Kacine, Wis.
