SI fill ROOSEVELT himo nnnm The Peace Conference Will Be Held at Washington. The Czar Has Withdrawn Ke enest to lleopen Question. ENVY AND JEALOUSY Of the United States Are Marked in St. Petersburg;. Halt in Negotiations Ga?e Pleas ure in Some Quarters. St. Petersburg, June 13. Russia has finally end definitely accepted Washing ton as the meeting- place of the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries, the for eign office having -waived its request for reconsideration at the personal di rection of the emperor, whose desire to give tha fullest and fairest opportunity to President Roosevelt's proposal for a peace conference is hereby manifested. After his conference with Ambassa dor Meyer, Count Lamsdorff.the foreign minister, went to Peterhof and laid the matter before the emperor, who, on learning that insistence on The Hague might endanger the negotiations, di rected Count Lamsdorff to inform Am bassador Meyer that Russia would ac cept "Washington. The result is looked upon as added triumph for American diplomacy. In certain quarters here envy and jealousy of the "United States are ill concealed. The entire collapse of the negotiations was predicted and there was almost open exultation at what was declared to be a "rebuff to Roose velt." Even in peace circles gloomy faces were drawn at the report that Russia would insist upon The Hague, but thanks to the personal attitude of the emperor and to the well put representa tions of Ambassador Meyer, the threat ened diplomatic mountain has decreased to a mole hill, over which negotiations can now proceed rapidly. The Gazeta, which is known as the mouthpiece of the foreign office, declares that nothing is yt known regarding Japan's terms. It intimates that Russia may not balk nt an indemnity, significantly stating that international control of the Chi nese Eastern railroad is possible as a means of insuring payment of an in-' demnUy. It says that the plenipoten tiaries will have special powers and may be authorized to conclude peace. President Delays Vacation. .."a?hincton, June 19. While the pro-FR-ss of the preliminary negotiations for jvarf between the far eastern belliger ents is necessarily slow at this stage of fie proceedings, it is known that Presi dent Roosevelt hopes they practically may be concluded before he shall go to oyster Bay for the summer. His desires to facilitate in every possible way the negotiations induced him to reconsider his- original plan to go to Oyster Bay this week. After his visit to Worcester ami Williamstnwn, Mass., where he will go to attend the commencement exer cises of Clark university and Williams college, he will return to Washington, arriving here Friday morning next. It is expected that if nothing unforeseen shall have occurred in the meantime, some definite announcement of the sta tus of the negotiations may be made soon after his return. There is a possibility even that the selection of the plenipo tentiaries of both Russia and Japan may be announced before the president leaves tomorrow night for Massachus etts. A final determination of the seat con ference having been reached, the presi dent in common with the political world, is awaiting the actiTTh of the belligerent nations as to their peace en voys. With that part of the programme the president naturally has nothing to do. When the selections have been made the names of the envoys of the respec tive governments will be communicated to the president. By him they in turn will be communicated to the govern ments in interest and formally announc ed to the world. Would Avert a Battle. It is the hope here that the arrange ments for the conferences may proceed with such facility as to avert a general engagement in Manchuria between the forces of Generals Lineviteh and Oyama. The precipitation of a great battle at the present stage of the peace negotia tions would be regarded here as a most unfortunate error of judgment an er ror which might imperil seriously the negotiations for the conference. Indeed It is believed in some quarters that whatever might be the result of such conflict, it would arouse so much bit terness that the negotiations, the status of which is now so favorable, would col lapse. President Roosevelt 1s giving no heed to irritating personal references to him which have aprared in a part of the Russian press. His conduct of the peace negotiations thus far has besn as nearly directly as possible with the emperors of the belligerent powers and the ar rangements concluded represent their personal views as well as his own. The reference to the president by an import ant St. Petersburg newspaper as a "bro ker" is regarded here as most unhappy, although it is known in Washington that it does not reflect the sentiments cf the St. Petersburg government. Such comments serve, however, to accentuate the desire of the. president and of the powers generally toavert. if possible, an other serious engagement on the Man rhurian battlefield, lest the conciliatory efforts heretofore made may be render ed fruitless through the utterances of the Russian press, backed as they may he by the powers of the war party in the empire. Uneasy About Oyama. St. Petersburg. June 195:20 P. M. This being Whitmonday. private as well as public business is suspended. At the foreign office only half a dozen of ficials were on duty. The officials in dicated that any number of plenipoten tiaries from one to three is agreeable. In addition to the names of Ambassador Kelidoff and Baron Rosen, the name of Prof. DeMaartens, professor of inter national law at the University of St. Pe tersburg, and a member of the interna tional arbitration court, is now men tioned, and also that of Count Cassini. If the impression which prevails at the foreign oiiice that Japan Hitends to send the Marquis Ito and possibly other statesmen from Japan is true it is pointed out that the meeting cannot oc cur within a month. In the meantime, so far as indicated here, there have been no moves in the direction of a suspension of hostilities. No confirmation has been received here of the report from Godzyadani of June 17th that negotiations for an armistice had been begun between Field Marshal Oyama and General Lineviteh. On the contrary the latest news from the front leaves little doubt that Oyama's col umns are in motion and disquieting ru mors are current here regarding the po sition of the Russian army, according to which Oyama has succeeded in push ing both his flanks far forward respec tively opposite Kpanchengtsu and Kirin whence he can draw a noose around the troops below this line.

Miller, who has contracted to build the new theater on West Eighth avenue, stated today that he intended that work shall begin at once on the new structure. Mr. Miller was asked by a reporter for the State Journal in regard to the intimation of a Topeka newspaper that the new theater might not be built. "Mr. Sater, the man who has signed a lease on the building for ten years, has deposited vith the Bank of Topeka a certified check for 11,000 to bind him to the contract," said Mr. Miller, "and that looks like business to me. The theater most assuredly will be built." LIGHTNING HITS TANK. Standard Oil Company Sustains Loss of $200,000. Lima, O., June 19. A 35.000 barrel tank containing 33.600 barrels of naphtha, valued at $5 a barrel, was struck by lightning today and the fire whistle of the Standard Oil company's refinery brought a thousand men from their homes to protect other property. Less than a thouasnd bar rels of oil could be pumped from the tank before it became too hot to handle and the loss is figured at nearly $200,000. SILVER LAKE DROPS CUT.

The assessor found 214 inhabitants in the citv of Silver Lake. The law pro vides that a city of the third class must-! have at least 2a0 population. Last fear s census, taken by the assessors, gave Sil- ved Lake a population of 26i, which wa just 17 more than was necessary. Burbank's Trial Continued. Leavenworth, Kan.. June 19. The suit of Lieutenant Sidnej S. Burbank against Mrs. Conception Yasquez to atvnul an alleged marriage was called up in the district court Saturday.-and final date for the trial set for October 20.

Turned Kusslan Kight After All Night Fight. A NEW ARMY C03I1NG. A Force of 50,000 Men in Three Columns Is Proceeding From Korea to Extend Ovarua's Lines. Lidjapudzy, Manchuria, June 19. The Japanese are advancing from the cen ter and westward and are driving in the Russian screens south of Palitun. Further west they turned the Russian extre'me right at Liaoyang Chungpeng Saturday night, flanking the Russians out of position after a night-long fight. The Japanese force consisted of an in fantry division, four batteries of artil lery and thirty squadrons of cavalry. General Mistchenko's cavalry subse quently retrieved some of the lost ground. During Mistchenko's opera tions Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia, representing Emperor William with the Russian army, received his baptism of fire. According to information received at headquarters the Japanese are mov ing northwest from Korea in three columns which include 50,000 infan try and corresponding forces of cavalry and field and mountain artillery. These columns are heading far Chutsami, Kmesan and Kenshan to complete the line of Oyama's army strstching from the Mongolian frontier to the Sea of Japan. Russians Retake a Town. Headquarter of the Russian Army, Godzyadana, Manchuria, Sunday, June 18. The Russian cavalry have retaken the town of Liao Yangwopeng.

General Manager Hurley of the Santa Fe in Topeka Sunday. The appointment of the general superin tendent of the eastern grand division of the -Santa Fe may be made this -week. General Manager J. E. Hurley was in Topeka for a few hours Sundas' afternoon. To a reporter for the State Journal he stated that the appointment had not been decided upon, but that it mijrht be set tled some time during the week. Mr. Hurley is taking a number of offi cials over the lines on an inspection trip, traveling by special train. The special train consists of Third Vice President Kendrick's car, General Manager J. E. Hurley's private car and the private car of suoerintendent of motive power. In addition to the above officials the fol lowing were also members of the party: W. B. Storey, chief engineer; T. C. Mc Lellan, division superintendent, and A. E. Austin, trainmaster. The party is making a trip of the lines from Chicago west. Several days will be spent on the lines of the southern Kansas division. J. W. Kendrick, third vice president of the svstem, is making efforts to be ready for the big freight movements when the wheat and corn is put on the market and ready for shipment. "The motive sower is in excellent con dition," he said. "The machinists who went out on a strike against this company more than a vear ago have come to a re alization of how futile is their attempt to win their strike, and they have practically abandoned t. "Some of the papers in this vicinity re cently contained rumors that the Santa Fe company intended to close the shops all over the system on the 10th of the month and reopen them again on the loth, at that time re-employing all who cared to go back to work for the company. "It seems almost unnecessary to brand this as mere gossip, aroused by some of the machinists or boilermakers, and it is hardly worthy of attention, much less a denial." INTERSTATE N. G. MEET. Attended by Representatives of Army, Navy' and Marine Corps. St. Paul, Minn., June 19. Assistant Secretary of War Robert S. Oliver and party, including representatives of the army, navy and marine corps, arrived in St. Paul today to attend the meet ings of the interstate national guard association to be held in Armory Hal! here. The first session was called to order at 10 o'clock by General Gobin of Pennsylvania, first vice president of the association, in the absence of Gen eral Dick of Ohio, who is ill at his home. Colonel John R. Lawler, chaplain general of the Minnesota national guard, delivered the invocation and Governor Johnson and Mayor Smith welcomed the delegates to the state and city. Engle Doesn't Want .Job. Andrew Engle, of Des Moines, who was reported as being very anxious to secure a contract from the city for dis posing of the garbage in the city, seems to have reconsidered and apparently has given up all expectation of submitting anv proposition to the city looking tow ards an erection of a plant at this point. T. D. Humphreys, the attorney who has been representing Mr. Engle in the ne gotiations thus far held, stated at noon that he had not heard from his client today and that he would not appear be fore the council this evening. The only thing that remains with the council is the contract of the Topeka Desiccating company which is very anxious that the contract be carried through. Killed One: Paralyzed Three. Kalamazoo, Mich., June 19. At Aus tin lightning struck a wagon in which employes of a circus were sleeping, killing one and injuring five others. Three of the injured are paralyzed. Building Permit. A building permit for the erection of a $600 dwelling on lot 196 East Sixth avenue, has been grunted to Amanda M. Durham. ABROGATE CONTRACT. St. Louis Job Printers Vote to Stand for Eight-Hour Day. St. Louis, June 19. The St. Louis Typographical union has rescinded its action of June 8 accepting a contract calling for a nine hour day and an ad vance of $1.50 a week in wages for the union job printers, and, by a declara tion to abide by the ruling of the ex executive council of the Iiilernatijjial Typographical union, abrogated the contract which had been signed with the employing printers. The decision was voted at a general meeting attend ed by about 700 members. By the executive council revoking the charter of the local union for its original course the issue between the eight-hour and nine-hour day re solved itself into a question of alle giance to the national body. The International union "at its con vention in St. Louis last August de clared for the eight-hour day, to be enforced after January 1, 1906. The Typothetae, it is stated, intended originally to wait until January 1, and make a general fight against the International union ail over the coun try. The contract in Sr. Louis was the first to expire in a large city. The prospects of securing a renewal here of a nine-hour contract to run for three years changed the attitude of the Typothetae into a plan to force a fight in St. Louis if the union stood on the eight-hour day, and follow it up with resistance in Chicago, where the contract will expire July 1. In accordance with this determination, the local Typothetae delivered a vir tual ultimatum to the union that it would immediately declare the open shop in St. Louis if a nine-hour day agreement could not be effected. The adoption of the nine-hour con tract for three years by a vote of 2:13 for and 231 against by the union on June 8 bridged over the trouble until the international body intervened by revoking the union's charter. In the present crisis the question of whether a lockout and strike will follow in a few days hangs on the decision of the Topo thetae to enforce its first programme. E. B. Woodward, a member of the executive committee of the Typothetae, said that hef could not forecast what action would be taken. He added that a meeting of the employers probably would be called to consider the changed situation. JOINTISTS IX REAL TROUBLE. County Attorney Hungate Won't Give Them Tlteir Liquor. Judge Dana this morning refused to allow the plea in abatement asked for by the attorney for Johnson, Simmons, Cristand Finney to save their liquors from destruction. When County Attorney Hungate had these men arrested by Sheriff Lu cas he resorted to an old provision of the law which allows the prosecuting attorney to post a notice in tire place where the liquors were seized, that unless cause can be shown why it should not be done that the sheriff will destroy the iiquors. Then in some of the cases replevin suits were brought by outsiders to secure the liquors on the grounds that they were the rightful owners. Hungate ordered Sheriff Lucas to give redelivery bonds and to keep the liquors and he threat ened to arrest anyone claiming con traband liquors and to charge them with owning the joints where the liquor was found. Judge Dana refused to grant the plea in abatement, but when the hear ing on the notice for the destruction of the liquors is held Johnson, Crist, Finney and Simmons must show why the liquors should not be destroyed. STRIKERS GIVE UP. Chicago Teamsters Are Asking for Their Old Places. Chicago, June 19. A pronounced break in the ranks of the strikers oc curred today. For the first time since the strike began many weeks ago, there were numerous instances where striking teamsters appl ed individually for former positions without waiting for the strike to be formally declared off. This was true at the lumber ya rd s. George K. Wenig of the Wenig Teaming company said today: "Many of my old teamsters have asked for their positions. Not one of them said anything about delivery to the boycotted firms. I have done nothing yet in 'the matter, and shall not do anything until I consult with other employers.". The "peace party" of the striking teamsters was busy today outlining plans for forcing an end of the sirike. Tonight the "steering committee." ap pointed Saturday at the meeting of the anti-Shea and anti-strike element, will endeavor to carry its point in the team sters' joint council meeting even if it has to keep the deliberations in progress all night. COMPLAINED TOO SOON. Man AVho Said Taxes Were Too High Wasn't on Rolls. Some strange things were de veloped in the assessing for taxation this spring. In fact every year strange conditions are shown. For instance, in Tecumseh township the oianos are listed for taxation as worth $50 each. In the city of To peka the pianos are listed for taxa tion as valued at $116 each. Topeka people who own pianos pay on a valuation more than tw ice as high as the valuation in Tecumseh township. Another strange thing was that a North Topeka man, who owns con siderable property, appeared before the board of equalization and made complaint about the taxes assessed on his personal property. When the hoard looked up the matter it was found that the assessor this year had overlooked this man and had not listed his personal property for taxation. It was immediately placed on the tax roll. Commission Firm Fails. Chicago, June 19. Fyfe, Manson Co a grain commission firm promi nent on "the Chicago board of trade, went into the hands of a receiver to day Notice was posted at the board notifying all persons having trades with the firm to. close the trades at once. The application for a receiver ship was made voluntarily by the firm which is said to be involved to the extent of between $70,000 and $80 000. Ulrie King, president of the Grain and t-tock Protection bureau, was named f.s receiver. FRflfiGEYIELDS, Is Inclined to Accept Invitation to Morocco Conference. If Germany Will State KerCase Specifically. ALL TO BE SETTLED On a Mutually Satisfactory Basis It Is Believed. Two of Delcasse's Contentions Have Now Jeen Given Up. Berlin, June 19. Premier Rouvier has informed Prince Radolin, the Ger man ambassador at Paris, that France is inclined to accept the invitation to take part in the proposed conference on Morocco provided the German and French governments can reach a mu tually satisfactory agreement as to the precise points to be considered by the conferees.- The conviction exists at the foreign office that France and Ger many will be able to agree upon this programme. Although earnest differ ences of view are yet to be recon ciled, the authoritative judgment of the foreign office is that they will be overcome by negotiation. M. Rouvier has thus yielded to Prince von Bue low on two essential points on which M. Delcasse, the former foreign minis ter, has refused the invitation to take part in a Morocco cpnference. M. Rouvier first consented to reopen the question, and second, agreed to take piart in the conference provided the protocol is in conformity with French interests. This will be ac cepted by Germany, which will limit the deliberations of the conference. Great Britain, supporting France, had also refused to join the conference, but Secretary Lansdowne has, it is under stood, said if France accepted Great Britain would also accept. A great diplomatic battle is in pro gress, with the probabilities leaning toward German success. FAST TRAIN MAKES GOOD Although Mileage Is Greater X. Y. C. Meets Pennsylvania's Record. New York, June 19. The Twentieth Century Limited on the New York Cen tral railroad arrived in this city from Chicago at 9:2 a. m. today, three min utes ahead of time. It left Chicago at 2:30 p. m. (central time) yesterday, and made the run in 17 hours and 57 min utes. This was the Tw entieth Century's first trip as an 18 hour train. Chicago, June 19 The first west bound trip on an 18 hour basis made by the Twentieth Century Limited over the Lake Shore railroad was finished five minutes ahead of time. The train was due here from New York at 8:30 a. m. and glided into the Lasalle street sta tion at 8:25. The train averaged one to five min utes ahead of the schedule all the way. The average running time for the en tire distance was 53 1-3 miles an hour. PARDONED BY DIAZ. First Case of Clemency to an American Under Similar Circumstances. St. Louis. June 19. A special to the Globe-Democrat from El Paso. Tex., says: After having received a pardon by President Diaz, the first ever ex tended to an American under the same circumstances, Mac Stewart, an aared Confederate soldier and Texan, reach ed El Paso from Chihuahua, Mexico. where he had been imprisoned for years for killing a Mexican policeman. The ex-Confederates of El Paso gave him a rousing reception. Stewart's case is one of the most widely known in the south. Stewart was riding up the streets of Chihua hua loudly singing "Dixie" at the time he was arrested by a Mexican police man, immediately prior to the shoot ing that resulted in the conviction of Stewart and his sentence to the death penalty. The Confederate veterans took the matter up, and through their efforts the death penally was reduced to imprisonment for 20 years. On half of that time was served when President. Diaz was induced to extend executive clemency. KNOCKED 35 FEET. John Dixon Came in Contact With a Live Mire. John Dixon, a line man in the employ of the Bell Telephone conjpany. came in contact with a live wire Sunday morning at 10 o'clock while working on a platform attached to one of the tele phone poles in the rear of the city building and was hurled the full dis tance, oo feet, to the ground. Dixon was stringing a new wire which acci dentally came in contact with a live wire and he received the full voltage. He was picked up by his companions and removed to Kieth's hospital. Fortunately Dixon had no bones broken but was severely bruised exter nally and suffered slight intepnal in juries. This makes the third accident at the same place vvithin the last two days. The other two men escaped with slight injuries, nothing worse than burns. Hail Fell Inches Deep. Madison, Wis., June 19. A downpour of rain last night flooded the streets, carrying away sidewalks and filling cel lars. In the surrounding country thou sands of dollars worth of damage was done, chiefly by hail, which covered the ground inches deep. Hundreds of window- panes were smashed, roofs were splintered, fruit trees were stripped and grain was pounded into the ground. Some stock and much poultry was kill ed and a number of persons were badly injured. Yon ns Pnlitzer to Wed. New York, June 19. The engage ment is announced of Miss Frederica Vanderbilt Webb, only daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William Seward Webb, to Ralph Pulitzer, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, TO FIXD A WAY. Civic Federation to Take Vp Preven tion of Undesirable Immigration. New York, June 19. Business men, sociologists and others, responding to a call of the New York Civic Federa tion, will begin here today a formal discussion of the immigration question in the room of the New York board of trade and transportation. While it has been estimated fre quently that at least 60 per cent of the immigrants arriving at this port re main in New York, the overcrowded condition of the east side streets and tenements during the past six months has awakeifed new interest in the mat ter and plans will be discussed for ridding the city of the burden. Some authorities estimate that in Greater New York nearly 100,000 English speaking families are on the verge of destitution because of the influx of cheap labor. DANA DECLINES IT. Refuses to Decide Question Dodged by the Supreme Court. Judge Dana, of the Shawnee county district court, refuses to step in where the supreme court of the United States fears to nread and he will allow the Kansas supreme court to do the step ping in. The question Judge Dana declines to decide, in view of the fact that the supreme court at Washington has dodged it, is whether the residents of Porto Rico are citizens of the United States. The supreme court at Wash ington did. consent, after George Ade had decided that "the cocktail follows the flag," to decide that "the constitu tion follows the flag" but Judge Dana can find nothing in theae two decisions which help him on the question of citi zenship. It is up to the Kansas su preme court and as Kansas and Kan sans never fear to take hold of things her highest tribunal can settle .the question. The question comes up on a motion in the case of Mr. and Mrs. E. Fajardo of Porto Rico against the Santa Fe railroad for damages for the death of their son, who was a student at the Kansas university and was killed In 1903 in a railroad accident while on his way home for the summer. The trial was held in the district court be fore Judge Dana and the jury returned a verdict for the parents of $4,000. The attorneys for the Santa Fe have a motion to have the judgment made by the court, on the findings of the jury, in favor of the railroad on the ground that the Fajardos are not citi zens of the United States and have no right to sue. "The supreme of the United States has decided that the na tives of Porto Rico are not aliens." said Judge Dana, "and also decided that they are not Americans but did not decide whether they are citizens. This court will not decide what the United States supreme court did not decide but will allow the Kansas su preme court to .do so." DON'T WANT IT CHANGED. Railroads Xot Anxious to Withdraw Missouri River Commodity Rate. As has been predicted, the Missouri .river commodity rate hearing has fallen by the wayside. It will be re membered that the railroads joined in a request for permission to withdraw the Missouri river tariffs. This meant that rates for Missouri river jobbers would be increased. Had one road failed to stand by this proposition, the other roads w ould be unable to put in the new rate. Up to Saturday, the roads had all stood pat on on the proposition, but on Saturday, J. H. Richards, attorney for the Missouri Pacific, communi cated to the board the fact that the road which he represents would withdraw from the application. He also stated that he was informed the other roads woul'd do the same. The following is the formal state ment sent in by Mr. Richards: "Now comes the above named peti tioner, the Missouri Pacific Railway company, and moves the board to dis miss its application heretofore made herein to withdraw the existing com modity rates on sugar, canned goods, coffee, beans, and sjup from Atch ison and other points, and to substitute in lieu thereof the class rates made applicable in connection therewith, without prejudice to future action, for the reason among others, that the transportation of the commodities in question over your petitioner's line of railway to points in Kansas are inter state shipments, and that this board has no juridiction or power to act upon the same." More protests were received this morning from merchants who do not want the commodity rate withdrawn. They came from Newton and from the Mound City Commercial club. The withdrawal of the Missouri Pa cific from the commodity rate case leaves the track clear for the new case which the jobbers at Wichita are said to be preparing to file. Toieka's Trade Train. The trade extension and transporta tion committees of the Topeka Com mercial club will meet at the Com mercial club rooms on Tuesday night to make the arrangements for the To peka Trade Train," which is to be sent out of this city some time in Au gust by the merchants and manufac tures. A full attendance must be had. The regular meeting of the Commer cial club takes place Friday night and final action is desired concerning the train. Orders for SOO Cannon a Month. Berlin, June 19. The war in the far east is causing such a demand for am munition that the German artillery manufacturers are overrun with orders. The Krupns Essen works have orders for the delivery of three hundred guns monthly for nearly two years. The company, which only recently built an other artillery foundry, making eight of those buildings, must begin soon to construct a ninth artillery foundry. Good Word for New Lights. C. W. Sherritt, mayor of Muncie, Ind., has communicated with Mayor W. H. Davis with reference to the Warner Electric company ot tnai city wnicn aer sires to dispose of some of its lamps to the city. Mr. Sherritt states that since the lamps have been in use in the city of Muncie the city have saved $3,500 an nually or about 60 per cent of the usual yearly expenditures for light. The city has 240 of the Warner lamps. Eleven Hurt in Trolley Collision. New York, June 19. In a rear end collision between trolleys at Maspeth, L. I., eleven persons were injured, some of them quite seriously. GAIN HAMES OfE W. S. Tinsman, General Super intendent at Little Eoefc. J. G. Bloom's Authority Is to Be Enlarged. PLAN IS APPROVED. Divisional Plan of Operation Is Adopted. New General Manager to Have Offices on First Floor. D. E. Cain, the new general mana ger of the southwestern and Choctaw districts of the Rock Island system, -has announced the appointment of W. b. rinsman, division superintendent of the Missouri division to be general su perintendent of the Choctaw district, with -headquarters at Little Rock, suc ceeding F. O. Melcher, who was made general manager of the northern lines of the system, with headquarters at Chicago. The change from the departmental to the divisional plan of operation as outlined in Saturday's State Journal, has been decided upon. The main tenance of track will come under the jurisdiction of the general manager, general superintendents and division superintendents in their, respective jurisdictions and the division engineers will report to the division superin tendent on the respective divisions. It is understood that J. G. Bloom, principal assistant engineer, who is now in authority only on the south western district, will be given juris diction over both the southwestern and Choctaw districts to correspond, with General Manager Cain's jurisdic tion. His title may remain unchanged or it may be made assistant chief en gineer. The clerical work now handled in tha offices of the division engineer, will be transferred to the division superin tendents" offices, with a probable sav ing in salary expenses. The vacancy caused by the promo tion of W. S. Hinsman will be filled through the promotion of division su perintendents on the Rock Island. Tha changes will be announced within a, few days. It is understood in Topeka that Hiram Cable will be transferred from the northern district to the central dis trict as general superintendent, with headquarters at Chicago. He leaves America shortly for a six month trip to Europe and this change will prob ably be made when he returns. No statement has been made public in regard to an appointment of a gen eral superintendent of the northern district. Mr. Tinsman, who now becomes the general superintendent of the Choc taw district, began "railroading." twenty-four years ago as a messenger boy in the telegraph office in Trenton, his father at that time being a con ductor on the Missouri division out of Trenton. At the age of 16 Mr. Tinsmert was made operator, and a few years later train dispatcher, and since has been successively chief train dispatcher, trainmaster of the Kansas division, superintendent of the Chicago terrr.inaj division at Chicago and superintendent of the Oklahoma division at Chickasha, from r which position he was promoted to superintendent of the Missouri divis ion about a year ago at Trenton, whet he began his railroad career as a tele graph messenger boy. He is ?A years old. General Manager Cain has selected the rooms formerly occupied by tha division freight agent on the first floor of the Rock Island general otlic building, for his headquarters. Tha ofiice of the general superintendent will be moved from the second floor to the first floor and will be in connec tion with the general manager's ofiice. The division freight agent will mov to the second floor and will have the office formerly occupied by the gen eral superintendent. Henry Lautz, of the Santa Fe gen eral manager's office, has been offered the position of chief clerk to General Manager Cain, but he has hot yet ac cepted the position. In event he does not accept -the place it will be given to A. Hademan, an employe of Presi dent Winchell's office at Chicago. Mr. Cain's private secretary, C. D. Van Hecke, will go with him to tha Rock Island. For the present th general manager's office w ill consist ot the chief and stenographer, a file cleric and an outside man to work up sta tistics for the general manager. Th statistician will also have a stenog grapher. SIDEWALK WAR. Contractors Making Tlilnirs Lively Over the Prices. A sidewalk brick war is in progress in Topeka between rival contractors. It is the result of the award of the brick sidewalk contracts to Brooks Gil more. Clarence A. Ritchie, who was tha other bidder claims that the contract should have been awarded to him and that in reality his bid was lower than that of the successful firm. Nearly all the walks in the city are built six feet wide and the bids on these walks were:. Brooks Gillmore, 5.9 cents per square foot; C. A. Ritchie, 5.8 per square foot. On the bids for five foot walks of which very few are built, the Brooks Gill more firm was the lower and the con tract for all the walks was awarded to them. Now Mr. Ritchie is going into th open field and is offering to put dow$ sidewalks for any property owner, a less than the city contract price. Tb property owner may build his own walg if he cares to do so and Mr. Ritchie is going after the business on this scori. He has Issued a statement that he will build the walks for which the city con tractor is to be paid 5.9 cents per square foot for 6.8 cents. This is just another chapter to th Topeka brick war which breaks out with greater or less violence every year. Temperature In Largo Cities.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 19,1905. ltitii dillfllblil. Sunday's Game Went to Spring field Also. It Was a Yery Good Game, But THE SCORE WAS 3 TO 1. Qujgley Fined and Pat Off the Grounds. Ellis Proved More Effective Than Howie. Spring-field, Mo.. June 10. The High landers registered the third successive defeat against the White Sox on Sun day afternoon by a score of 3 to 1. The hit and error columns were about even, only Kills proved himself abetter master at pulling out of holes than Bill Howie. Twice the sacks were full of White Lees with none out, but each time the big Missouri Southpaw worked his sal ary arm with marked success and re tired the batters in succession. The regular Topeka lineup went into the game, Captain Quigley's arm hav ing sufficiently healed to permit his playing. The game had only gone three Innings, however when the sorrel-lop ver.t after Umpire Lewinscn because of a questionable decision. Ordered to thut up and quit wrangling, the Topeka captain only became more belligerent, with the result that Lewinson lined him and ordered him to the bench. More words followed and Quigley was order ed from the grounds. A policeman had to enforce the umpire's order. Hood, the little outfielder just released by Fprijigrield, played short for the White Fox. His hitting was a feature with that of Porter, both getting a brace of tafe ones. Henry's throwing to second was weak, fcases being stolen from him with ease. The score: SPRINGFIELD. Player Shelters, If. p.yrne, ss. Wplsner, rf. porter, lb.

KATTOXATj LEAGUE. St. Louis 8. New York 2. St. Louis, June 19. "Muggsy" Mc Gravv and his band of champions were stoned off the diamond at League park Sunday afternoon by a crowd of fans, worked up to the highest pitch of excite ment by remarks made by McGraw and his associates about St. Louis fandom in general. Several rocks were thrown at McGraw personally and one of them hit him. He was also struck by an um brella in the hands of one of the tur bulent fans. A squad of police rescued the ball players from the mob and escorted them part of the way to town, otherwise the incident might have had a more serious outcome. Two fans were arrested but released for lack of evidence. The attack on McGraw and his play ers followed a game filled with excite ment and a humiliating defeat for the champions, Iron Man McGmmty being touched up for eight singles and a base on balls in one inning, which, together with a hit batsman, netted the locals seven runs and enabled them to win by the score of 8 to 2. Bad feeling pre vailed throughout the game, McGraw distinguished himself by frequent kick ing, and his never large popularity with local fandom declined perceptibly dur ing the game. When the New Yorkers left their bench after the game and started to ward the clubhouse, where they were to take their wagon for the city, the fans from the bleachers swarmed onto the diamond and began jeering and hooting at them. Stung by the disap pointment of defeat and the cutting roasts handed them by the fans, Mc Graw and a few of his men lost their heads, talking back angrily at the crowd. This served to incite the fans to a frenzy and a storm of epithets passed back and forth between players and spectators. Finally one of the fans, described as an elderly heavy-set man, struck at McGraw with an umbrella. This was the signal for the stone throw ing to begin. A storm of rocks and pebbles fell among the invaders just as they reached their wagon, and but for the arrival of the police it is brobable someone would have been badly hurt. The home team broke even with the Giants by knocking McGinnity out of the box. Eight consecutive singles, a base on balls and a hit batsman gave the locals seven runs. The Giants could do nothing with Taylor after the first inning. Attendance, 9.000. Score by innings: R.H.E.

A base ball team composed of cigar makers is circulating the story today that they simply ate up a team com posed of State Journal employes yes terday at the fair grounds. Don't be lieve them. The way the State Jour nal team went throueh those cigar makers was a fright. They finally stopped making tallies and let the score remain 9 to 4. The cigar mak ers should learn how to play ball; they bungled' about everything that came to them, and their battins was worse than that of a schoolboy's, while The Journal team was putting up a fine game, lining hits to all parts of the field. The teams will play again in about two weeks, and it is hoped by that time the cigar makers will be able to at least make it in teresting. Colleee Baseball. At New York Yale 8, Princeton 5.

Frantz Leads In Batting. St. Louis, June 19. Walter Frantz, the lanky Blues twirler, still leads the stickers in the American Association. In 23 games in which he has participated, he has been' at bat 28 times and on 35 occasions he has responded with a hit. This gives him a percentage of .400, which is 80 points ahead of his nearest real competitor, Hemphill, of St. Paul. Feine, of Toledo, in nine games has managed to make an average of 407, but this small number of games does not en title him to serious consideration. How ever, Frantz should hit well for the reason that he ia the only member of the locals who is doing any work with the stick worth mentioning, with the possible exception of "Scrap Iron" But ler, who is slightly above the .300 mark. Sysonby Won the Tidal Stakes. New York, June 19. James R. Keene's Sysonby, with Nicol in the saddle, won the Tidal stakes of $20,000, one mile and a quarter, at Sheepshead Bay. Syson by, who was making his first appear ance since his dead heat with Race King in the Metropolitan handicap on May 4, was in the best possible condi tion, having worked one mile and a quarter in 2:07 and the books made him a hot favorite at 9 to JO. He ran the distance in 2:05, which is a new record for the stake. Captain S. S. Brown's Agile, paying even money for the place, was second and Sydney Paget's Cairn gorm, second choice, third. HUMAN PACKAGE REFUSED. St. liOuis Woman Unable to Send a Child to El Dorado, Kan. St. Louis, June 19. Passenger agents of two railroads and as many conduc tors traveling over their lines refused to take into their care a girl 3 years old, whom the mother visited to send to relatives at El Dorado, Kan. The woman who made the request was Mrs. Ruth Norris of No. 2S21 Law ton avenue. She finally gave up the idea and returned home with her baby. Mrs. Norris appeared at Union sta tion at 8 o'clock. Her little daughter was neatly dressed, and a tag was tied to the baby's dress upon which was printed the baby's name, the destination and the name of the relatives who would receive the "human package." Good Kindergarten Exhibit. The Sheldon kindergarten, composed of the children in Tennesseetown, closed Friday with a reception, at which time the children's work was displayed. The exhibit included, besides the work done during the year, that sent to the St. Louis fair, for which the school was awarded a medal of honor. The work was attractively arranged, and supple mented by the pictures and statuary donated the school by friends interested in the work being done there, made a very pretty effect. The work shown com pared favorably with that done by white children, and reflects great credit on the director, Mrs. James Chapman, who has worked among the colored people for the past six years, as well as on the little folks themselves. The Coming Country. The opportunity for the man of lit tle means is probably better today in the prairie states of the southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. The chance of pre-empting claims or of taking up lands under government laws is gone and will not return again. It is a different kind of opening which lies before the settler and its promise is of exceeding bright ness. Its best opportunity is shown in the great southwest where the transformation is going on and where the conditions of soil and climate in harmony with the warm skies and temperate winds. To the man who is not satisfied with his condition, the southwest has an inviting future. Along the lines of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway there are vast areas of unimproved lands awaiting willing hands to make them yield the bountiful crops of which the land is capable. There is a need of stores, factories and new business of every description. It is the finest kind of an opportunity in the finest section of the United States. The southwest is unexcelled for the variety and fer tility of its soils for its climate. Its people are progressive and up-to-date, its religious and educational facilities are as good as can be found elsewhere. The M. K. T. railway has no lands for sale, but is interested in building up this productive country. It is believed that the southwest has bilghter prospects and offers better opportunities than any other section. Seeing is believing. For that reason the southwest courts investigation of the conditions as they exist. Anyone desirous of learning more of the southwest will do well to address George Morton. general passenger and ticket agent, Missouri, Kansas Texas railway, box 911, St. Louis, Mo.

The league will take the team to some other town. Concerning the reasoas the following is from the Omaha Bee: Burns has had teams fighting for the pennant to the last game for two seasons. This sea son the nine has been disorganized and has been losing with astonishing regu larity. This has cut down the attend ance until the average for the season has not been above 200. The combina tion was more than Burns could stand and he says he has washed his hands of baseball. He simply gives up the ghost and will let the league do what ever it pleases with the team. He ex pects no financial remuneration from whoever takes it. Eddie Lyon, owner of the Sedalia Shoplifters, says that the story that Billy White has succeeded Harry Cheek as captain of the team is nothing but hot air.

TO HEAD SUBWAY CO. Faul Morton Said to Have Plan ned the Move. Gossip and .Matters of Interest in Railroad Circles. Chicago, June 19. The Tribune says: Another of the chief officers of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe is con sidering an offer of a position which will not only take him away from the road, but will take him away from Chi-cag-o. fieports emanating from both Chicago and New York are circulated, in "union it is said that James Gorman, freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe since W. B. Biddle went to the Rock Island, is to go to Mew York at the instance of his old chief, Paul Morton. The story is that Mr. Gorman is to be placed at the head of the company which is to build the new subway for the Metropolitan Traction company, which place Paul Morton accepted and afterward abandoned to take his place at the head of the Equitable Insurance company. During the time they were both on the Santa Fe Mr. Gorman and Paul Morton were close friends. Last Friday, only a short time after the announce ment was made that Morton would head the Equitable. Mr. Gorman received a telegram from him, asking him to come at once to New York for consultation. Mr. Gorman took the next train. He has not returned to Chicago, having nailed from New York for Galveston, whence he will return home within a few days. A Topeka railway man says: "It is just possible that Mr. Gorman may be slated for the New York subway job, but I cannot believe they need a freight traffic manager to build a subway. I believe Mr. Gorman was called to New York to consult with Mr. Morton in re gard to the rebate case. Developments are looked for in this case this week." MACHINISTS LOST STRIKE. Santa I"c Wins Lon-r Struggle With Kmploj cs. The Kansas City Journal says: General Manager Hurley, of the Santa Fe, announces the victory of the road over the striking machinists and boiler makers is complete. The men formally have not called off the strike, but they have given up the contest. As many as possible have obtained positions else where. The road had not the least dif ficulty in getting men to fill all the po sitions vacated by the strikers. The Santa Fe service is working hard trying to find evidence against train wreckers. From certain remarks that have been overheard the officials of the road have reason to believe some of the former employes of the road are re sponsible for the attempts at traln v.reckir.g on the Santa Fe during the fiast two months. The evidence is not sufficient to say whether the striking machinists or boiiermakers are responsi ble, bvit the officials are trying to find out the truth regarding the matter.

It is reported that Victor Morawetz, chairman of the executive committee of the board of directors of the Santa Fe, intends to go to Europe shortly for his health. It is stated that President E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe system, will succeed Mr. Morawetz as chairman of the executive committee and that a new president of the system will be selected. First Vice President E. D. Kenna is said to be the man who is slated to succeed Mr. Ripley as president. It will be remembered that Mr. Kenna resigned as first vice president recent ly, and that soon after it was an nounced that he had decided to remain with the company in the capacity of first vice president. In the mean time Gardiner Lathrop had been selected to be first vice presi dent and general solicitor, and when Mr. Kenna decided to stay, it was an nounced that Mr. Lathrop's title would be general solicitor. It is now stated that the plans formulate'd at that time were for Mr. Kenna to remain with the company as first vice president till the time for the changes to be made when he would succeed Mr. Ripley, and Mr. Lathrop would again be given the title of first vice president and general solicitor. A recent issue of "The General Manager" says: "Edward Payne Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe rail way, the man who has placed that system on the high road to prosperity, first saw the light in the historic town of Dorceste in the old commonwealth of Massachusetts. A stalwart son of worthy sires, big in body and big in brain, he was, perhaps, the one man in railway circles physically and men-' tally capable of successfully accom plishing the gigantic task set before him. His career in the transportation service began in 1868, when in the first bloom of young manhood. After having served the Union Star Line at Boston as contracting freight agent, he became chief clerk to General Eastern Agent Bear, of the- Chicago, Burlington Quincy, having acted in that capacity for two years. His next step upward was to become the New England agent of that line. Well earned promotion next made him the general eastern agent, and in 1878, ten years from the time of his entrance into railway service, advanced him to the high and responsible position of general freight agent of the vast Bur lington system, and from thence to the general managership of the same road was but a natural sequence. In 1890 he left the Burlington to become the third vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway, which position he held until, in 1896, he was elected president of the Santa Fe. He is distinctly a man of affairs. Of strong personality, an indefatigable worker, somewhat brusque In his man ner and democratic in his views, he is the worthy head of a great system and an example for the rising genera tion of railway attaches to look tip. to and pattern after, should they aspire to advancement, honor and prosper ity." The Oldest Private Car. Iola. Kan., June 19. Superintend ent Webb, of the Missouri Pacific, says that his present private car is one of the oldest on record. Thirty five years ago, tie president of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain Southern, owned the same car and it was then considered to be one of the finest cars in the world, including equipments and everything. Since then the car has been somewhat remodeled. It has never been in a wreck, as far as known. Mr. Webb is very much at tached to the car. El Dorado Is Proud. El Dorado, Kan., June 19. The Re publican says: Roadmaster Watson of the Missouri Pacific railway says he will have the El Dorado and McPherson branch into Marquette before November. The line between here and McPherson is being greatly bettered. And this does not look good to Wichita. In the meantime, the Santa Fe is preparing to make the E! Dorado branch line their main line to the gulf. And this does not look a bit good to. Wichita. Fl Dorado is going to come out of the kinks yet. i wr For Infants and Children.

At the Kansas City Depot Were Known as Herefords. Mostly Routed to Barton and Kingman Counties. Kansas City, June 19. The rush of harvesters to the Kansas fields is on. The first party left Kansas City yester day. Three hundred and eighty-one started for the wheat fields. Of this number, 23 came from St, Joseph. It was a peculiar crowd that left Kan sas City last night. Most of the men were evidently farmers, but here and there were some who probably could not tell a shock of wheat from a bundle of alfalfa. Patent leather shoes, Panama hats, mohair shirts and silk neckties distinguished them from those who had worked before beneath hot summer suns. As these men went back and forth in the crowd they were given the title of "Herefords," because of their white faces. One crowd of 128 went to Great Bend on the Santa Fe at 10:30 o'clock. Forty six went to Pratt on the Rock Island at 11 o'clock. The Missouri Pacific took 28 to Kingman, 98 to Great Bend, 6 to Stockton, 52 to Hoisington. The St. Jo seph Grand Island brought in the 23 from St. Joseph and the Rock Island took them west. These men said they had paid 50 cents each for their jobs, the money going to an ernployment agency not connected with the state free employment bureau. All the men from Kansas City were sent by A. B. Jami son, superintendent of the state free employment bureau here. "I expect to make regular shipments from now on," Mr. Jamison said last night. "The wheat has ripened rapidly in the extreme heat of the past few days and I believe I can handle all the men who apply at my office." Is Injuring the Com. Junction City, Kan., June 19. Dur ing the past week the web worm has been very destructive in a number of corn fields in this county. South af the city about live miles is a field of about five acres where the corn has been completely killed. Every stalk of corn in the field is wilted and is lying on the ground covered with the white web left by this worm. The worm has already made its appearance in many other fields in that vicinity. A Former and Horse Thief. Paola, Kan., June 19. John F. Ander son, alias Frank Allen, was convicted of horse stealing in the district court here this week.

The body of Irwin Smith, a boy 19 years old, was found under a hedge on the home of his uncle, A. Giddings. a far mer, living four miles west of Great Bend. Smith, who was staying with his uncle, had a controversy with the latter just three weeks ago in regard to the manner in which he was doing his chores. He said he was going to THOMAS F. RYAN, WHO HAS PURCHASED CONTROL OF THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Thomas Fortune Ryan of New York, who has through purchase secured control of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of America, is one of the wealthiest traction magnates in the United States. Born in Nelson county, Va in 1851, young Ryan began his business career seventeen years later as clerk in a Baltimore dry goods house. In 1870 he removed to New York and began operations in Wall street, becoming in 1S74 a member of the New Yore Stock Exchange. Mr. Kyan at once devoted his energies to the reor ganization of various railways in the south and to the consolidation of street railway and lighting interests in New York, Chicago and bther large cities. He was also instrumental in the development of many coal mining proper ties in West Virginia and Ohio. Mr. Kyan still retains active control over most of his holdings. He lives in an unpretentious mansion at CO Fifth ave nue, New lork, city- quit. They heard nothing of him for several days and then informed the authorities. The body was found by a son-in-law of Giddings. A bottle, uncorked, and a glass jar- were found near the body. It looked like he had taken poison. OUT OF THE REFORMATORY.

Various Instances have been related of the odd places which birds choose In which to build their nests, but, according to the men on a train which runs between this city and Blackstone, a robin that has made its home on their train carries off the palm. The train in question pulls into Black stone at 1:40 p. m. one day and pulls out on the following day. Recently it was dis covered by one of the train hands that a robin had started to build Its nest on one of the trucks. Naturally, they supposed that when the train started out the next day the building operations would come to an end, and the matter was temaorarily forgotten. Their surprise was great when a day or two later they noticed that the bird had finished the nest, and from that time the spot was watched with interest. On Fri day, when the train pulled into the yard at Blackstone a small blue fgg was dis covered in the nest, and yesterday morning another egg was found there. The train men are greatly interested In their un usual passenge.r, and watch carefully lest any prowling tabby should catch the bird during the several hours lay ,off. Provi dence Journal. Sliced of a Prairie Chicken. That a prairie chicken flies with suffi cient speed to propel itself through heavy plate glass was proved by a recent inci dent at the little town o Wolsey, Beadle county. Prof. Shepard of the village school, in the discharge of his duty, rang the school bell, when a couple of prairie chickens that had taken refuge in the school house tower from a storm were frightened from their place of refuge. They flew as straight and swift as an arrow for the plate slass front of a business house. The glass was five-eighths of an inch In thick ness, but one of the prairie chickens went straight through it as though it were pa per, and dropped dead on the floor inside the building at a distance of about 20 feet from the window. The prairie chicken went through the plate glass with suffi cient force to cut a hole six inches in di ameter in the heavy glass. Minneapolis Tribune. What She Wanted to Know. She ran breathlessly out of the Pal ace hotel and boarded a Haight street car. "Will this car take me to Haight and Fillmore streets?" she asked the conductor. "Do you want a transfer to Fillmore?" asked the conductor. "That is not an answer to my ques tion," said the lady passenger. "Does this car go to Haight and Fillmore?" "Goes right out to the Park," said the conductor. "Now, see here," said the exasperated passenger. "What is the reason you cannot answer my ques tion? The clerk in the hotel told me that a red car going in this direction would take me to Haight and Fill more. I don't know anything about your city and haven't bought a guide book. Now can't you kindly conde scend to answer my question? Will this car take me to Haight and Fill more?" "It will." "Thank you very much." San Francisco Chronicle. Yale 8, Princeton 5.

FULL LEASED WIRE ItEPOKT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the fuil day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publi cation m Topeka. The news is received In the State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. HOME KEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. The theoretical torredo always hits the spot theoretically. The lid at Salina appears to have ru.sted off at the hinges. Taken as a whole Governor Hoch's new text book commission looks first rate. Miss Ellen Stone is returning to Macedonia. She doubtless knows that those brigands will not want to repeat their experience. Of course -wages are high in New York. Mr. Morton will get $50,000 or $100,000 a year, but It's worth it to have to live in New York. Would j-ou consider the execution of Johann Hoch the more cruel be cause it will make eighteen widows in one day instead of only one? Japan's next great battle will be one of diplomacy. It will be interesting to note if she is as successful at that as In fighting with armies and navies. Chicago will make a bid for the peace conference. It would probably like to have some of the product left there to use on its strike, if there is any left over. Now that Rojestven.sky has had time to think it over, he thinks the surprise Togo gave him is what caused it. You see, Rojeutvensky did not ex pect to be surprised. This theoretical warfare that the government is carrying on with the ravy just now will furnish an excuse for a lot of Dublic officials in Kansas: They will close the joints theoretically. When Justice Brewer's prediction comes true and we have a woman president, how much of the president's message do you suppose will be taken up with recommendations as to fash tons? The rrice of the best Kansas crude oil is now down to fifty cents a barrel, .-which has just been fixed by the standard. That is somewhat different from what the producers expected eighteen months ago. Russia desires peace, Norway is looking for a king, Spain is advertis Ing for a wife for Alfonso, and Kan sas well, Kansas can get along with 25,000 or 30,000 harvest hands and the right kind of w-eather. If Russia and Japan wish a really good place to conduct their peace ne gotiations we know of a Kansas town of about forty thousand inhabitants that has a first class state house the peace commission might use. The manual training schools of the future should have a course in ac curate brick-throwing. Then when those who are trained in the school? go on a strike, the innocent bystander will not be in so much ilatiscr. In Indiana the stat? railway com mission, at Governor Hanly's instiga tion, has called for a list of all state officials holding railroad passes. In Kansas it would be far easier to make a list of those who do not. Mr. Takaharl, Japan's financial agent, who has been looking after the taking of Japanese war loans in Amer ica, has been called to Tokio. Prob ably the Japs expect Russia to pay their expenses in the future, there, v- CDv;atiiig tne necessity of loans. ir,y mor Major A. M. Harvey is receiving a large number of letrers congratulating him on his flop to the Republican party, but the most entertaining one will probably come when Colonel Joe Wright, of Smith county, gets around to take his pen in hand and express himself. It will now be in order for the jo'j holders' union in Washington to de clare a strike. President Roosevelt's action in trying to eliminate red tape and establish modern business meth ods in the governmental departments Is likely to pry a lot of people loose from some useless jobs. Among other things, we need an ordinance specifying that July 4 does not begin until sunrise, notwithstand ing what the almanac may have to Bay on the subject. This idea of Starting a celebration at 2 o'clock in the morning is too much for every one except the small boy. CONGRESSMAN" REEDER. Congressman William A. Reeder, of the Sixth Kansas district, our own Irrigation Grass-Root Bill, is appar ently having the time of his life. He is hobnobbing in the arid regions of the West with the congressional com mittees on irrigation, to which he be longs. The committees started in at El Paso, went through New Mexico and Arizona, inspecting the big irri gation works under way in those ter ritories, and a few days ago they en tered southern California, where irri gation has become a science. They will spend several -weeks in the in spection. And Mr. Reeder seems to be mak ing a hit, in spite of his celluloid col lar and Prince Albert coat from Logan. "The desert is simply a term to denote Paradise with the water turned off," he is quoted as saying. Which is mighty good, but the modest reporter who made it up for him ought to have given us more of the same kind. Here is a sketch of the Kansas congressman which appears In a Los Angeles paper: "Congressman W. A. Reeder is known all over Kansas as 'Irrigation Bill.' He declares that he comes from an arid state, but whether made so by nature or state legislation he refuses to say. He was one of the first irrigationists to go into the use of water on a large scale in the Sun flower state. He is a Republican and a straightforward, honest and con sistent friend and supporter of na tional irrigation. He is a practical farmer of wide experience, and is an indefatigable worker in his efforts to promote the aims of the reclamation service. He is big, physically as well as in his ideas." Here is something that Mr. Reeder will have to square up in the Sixth district. He declares that he comes from an "arid state." Does Jewell county intend to stand for that? Will Graham, or Norton, or even his own Phillips, allow such a statement to go unchallenged? Will Rooks, or even Rawlins, admit that it is in an arid state? A day of reckoning is coming for Mr. Reeder, and before he comes back to Kansas he would better pre pare affidavits to prove that he never said it. THE STANDARD AGAIN. The current number of the Outlook contains an article in defense of the Standard Oil company, written by John J. McLaurin. Mr. McLaurin's identity is not disclosed, but the editor of the Outlook states that the article is published on behalf of the Standard as a presentation of its side of the controversy in Kansas in reply to a former article which pictured the Standard as a public enemy. The article is made up of statements tending to clear the Standard of the charge of discriminating against Kan sas. It makes little difference to Kansas producers whether the Stand ard discriminates against them and in favor of other producers, or whether it oppresses all alike, the fact remains that the Standard has been in abso lute control of the oil market at both ends, buying the crude from the pro ducer and selling the refined to the consumer. The Standard is very likely charged with crimes of which it is innocent, but it cannot be denied that it enjoys a monopoly of the oil busi ness which it uses to oppress both the producer and the consuming public. Among other things the article as serts that "with any advance in freight rates on crude oil the Standard had no more to do than the loudest ob jector in Kansas. The Prairie pipes its crude to Neodesha and Kansas City to be refined, therefore the freight rate in no wise concerns it. In reality no crude is shipped by rail, operators selling to the Prairie company the only transporter by pipe lines at prices regulated by the general mar ket." Which is, of course, the veriest sophistry to everyone who knows any thing about the situation. It is not told that the advance in freight rates was not made until the Prairie com pany had its pipe line built. Nor is the reason given why the operators all sell to the Prairie company. It is not stated that the advance in freight rates has been so great that it is im possible to ship oil in competition with the Prairie's pipe lines, and that the Prairie, "the only transporter by pipe iines" therefore had an absolute mo nopoly on the oil business; The opera tors could either sell to that company or let their oil run to waste. That is the "general market" that fixed the prices. But the worst "break" made by the author of the article is in an attempt to show that any independent concern or pipe line will be unable to meet foreign competition. It semes to be an effort to dislodge capital from in vesting in independent refineries and in the proposed pipe line from the Kansas fields to the Gulf. "Without its economical concentra tion of all branches of the petroleum industry the Standard could not retain the world market a month." says the article. "Every attempt to divide its trade abroad and decry it at home is at the expense of the American pro ducer. Even as it is. an English navi gation company now freights Texas crude oil across the seas and brings back cargoes of naphtha and benzine to the I nited States, distilled from oil produced m India and Borneo. in is competition, m addition to the immense supply of Texas crude at half the price paid in Kansas, 'a pipe line to the Gulf would encounter. Experience teaches thoroughly, and there are many short roads to bank ruptcy." Of ctiurse this is intended simply to frighten capital from building the proposed pipe line. But analyze what the statement as to the English navi gation company means. It means that a British company takes Texas oil to England and brings the refined product back and sells it as chear) as does the Standard, which refines it right here at home. This is on a par with the steel trust which charges Americans $2 8 a ton for the same steel rails that it sells in Europe for $20. The Standard also competes with the English company in Europe. This is why the Standard is able to pay from forty to sixty per cent dividends on its stock every year. It has its feet firmly imbedded in the trough. incidentally the article makes an attack on Governor Hoch. It states that the Forest Oil company, the pre decessor of the Prairie, struck gas near Chanute, and it then continues: "The Forest erected a gas plant and sold the outfit to the city, which de manded an agreement not to drill more wells within a radius of three miles. This holdup at Chanute, hot bed of anti-Standard sentiment and headquarters of stock-jobbers, paved the way for a franchise to the Kansas-Indian Territory Oil and Gas com pany 'to pipe the town for the pur pose of supplying manufacturers with gas' quoting from the company's 1905 prospectus 'and as soon as we can pipe gas to the people who use same, the city stands ready to turn over to us all present customers.' Shutting out the Forest Oil company, which originated the industry, and granting such favors to a company among whose 'officers and directors' i3 the governor of the state, would seem to manifest in Kansas a pe culiar idea of the 'square deal.' This is intended, of course, to con vey to people outside of Kansas that Governor Hock's action against the Standard was inspired by a wish to freeze out the Forest at Chanute, but Kansas people, it is needless to say, know differently. The State Journal does not know what connection Gov ernor Hoch has with the company named, but the Forest Oil company had been suceeded by the Prairie long before the fight on the Standard was thought of.

Governor Hoch and Rev. Charles M. Sheldon are scheduled to drive out to Stahl's picnic together. "I can see In advance that will be a mighty dry drive," said Bill Doolittle today in a prophetic mood. You don't hear so much about the sacred ikon as formerly. 4 It is noted that the Topeka Capital has given Major A. M. Harvey the rank of colonel since his flop to the Republi can party. Major Harvey's friends sin cerely hope that this promotion is not expected to take the place of the fatted calf feast. J AY HAWKER JOTS Emporia is progressing. It Is publicly announced that a citizen of that town has quit wearing celluloid collars and has taken to linen. The Emporia Gazette tried to print a piece about some girls going to a pic nic, hut the compositor set it up "panic." Perhaps the compositor was right. Horton is making preparation for a big Bible school picnic there on June 24. Governor Hoch is advertised to be pres ent ana aDout nUu bunaay school chil dren from Topeka. Speaking of the gasoline motors which some of the Kansas railroads will put on their branch lines, Bert Walker says some branches could put on a line of wheelbarrows and improve the pres ent, service. "A Topeka man," says the Osborne Farmer, "claims to have been present when Lincoln wrote his now famous Gettysburg speech. Some day a Topeka man will claim to have written the ten commandments." Sure. Several To peka men have written the ten com mandments. They used to be in the copybooks and we had to write 'em ev ery day. Ewing Herbert is mad at Judge Stuart, who sits on the district bench in the Doniphan-Brown-Nemaha dis trict. So are the jointists. Judge Stuart is the man who sent a liquor man to jail in Doniphan county for three months and fined him rive hundred dol lars for running a joint in the county, although he had never been in the county until he was brought there for trial. And the supreme court said that Judge Stuart did just the right thing. There are a lot of wrong-doers, as well as the editor of the Hiawatha World, who hate Judge Stuart. The other day the Salina Journal mentioned in a somewhat dubious way the oratorical abilities of Tom Cordry and William Allen White, and Cordry turns loose a declaration of war, as follows: "Now, just when there is even' prospect of peace be tween Russia and Japan, Fred Trigg of the Salina Journal intimates that William Allen White and the editor of this paper are not orators. No sooner is peace established or being arranged in one place than someone stirs up trouble In another. Still, we have never considered Bill White much of an orator. OsTjorne Farmer: Old Bill Shiftless was in town the other day and dropped around to talk over the war between. x.usia ana japan. 5111 says he predict ed that Japan would whip Russia every time they got together and is glad of it.

Since warm weather set in Bill has taken to getting UIj mi., tmiuii!; me nre ror his wife. He makes up for this heroism by tak ing a good long nap right after dinner. Bill says he feels a whole lot hott i the evening if he sleeps a little in the day time. Bill cut a little bunch of al falfa the other day and came near los ing it. There was a ball game that Af ternoon across the country about five miles and as Bill didn't feel well enough to rake it he thought hp woi the game. A heavy rain came up about 4 o clock, but Mrs. Shiftless had taken the precaution to get on the rake as soon as Bill left and get it in shape so a couple of the neighbors could take care of it.

A good many newspapers have in dulged in sarcastic remarks in regard to Togo's declaration that his victory over the Russians was because of the virtue of the emperor and of his ancestors. We gueBS Togo was more than half right. The virtue and righteousness of the rulers of any country makes patriotic soldiers willing to fight or die, if neces sary, for their country. Soldiers of our own country fought the harder and better because of their love for and con fidence in George Washington, Abra ham Lincoln and William McKinley. Holton Recorder. IT IS. From the numerous obituaries ap pearing In the newspapers, the public have become impressed with the fact that the Emporia Republican is dead. Troy Chief. IT WOULD BE MISSED. We wonder who is going to make good that $130,000 a year the people of Norway have been paying the king of Sweden to govern them. Oscar may be able to get along without it, all right, but if that much of our Income was cut off we'd feel it seriously. Mariqn Record. O BUT BENT'S FROM MISSOURI. Bent Murdock is still keeping up his fight on Governor Hoch. Bent has the wrong idea about what is the matter with Kansas. It really wouldn't help things much if he should happen to land a job some day. Osborne Farmer. FROM OTHER PENS TURN GRAFTERS OUT. In Chicago we have been experi menting for years with other ways of dealing with the grafter. We have en deavored to restrain him or reform him through civil service boards and trial boards, and with all sorts of punishments short of dismissal. We have tried to make rascals honest with new charters, new legislation and so called reform organizations. All these things are futile. The grafter is such because he wishes to graft. He cares nothing for fines, reprimands or frowns so long as he is permitted to hold the job which yields the graft. The only way to deal with him is to turn him out. The secret of good gov ernment in city, state or nation is an honest and courageous executive at the top who will turn grafter out. Mayor Weaver Is to be congratulated on dis covering this secret and on using his powers to rid Philadelphia of official grafters by summary dismissal. Chicago Inter-Ocean. UNWELCOME WELCOME. King Oscar of Sweden once passed through a small town, festively deco rated in his honor. One stone build ing bore a large transparent board, inscribed, "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

One evening, not long ago, the after dinner chat of a little coterie centered on the subject of the New Yorker and his blind devotion to the great eastern metropolis. One declared that the average New Yorker couldn't see over the Harlem flats; and another said that though there were undoubtedly some extremely clever people there the thins that spoiled them for h'm was their ignorance of and semi-contempt for anything outside of New York, especially in the west. "It used to worry me a good deal wheajve? 1 met a cut-and-dried New Yorker," said one; "for I was horn in Michigan and am glad of it, and when ever I was in New York I couldn't help feeling somehow that they looked on me in a half-patronizing way that always ruffled my feathers. But a few months ago I was out on the Pacific coast, and there I heard some one make a remark that made the New Yorker look so small that I wondered why I could ever have allowed him to worry me for a minute. The man was a fine type of western independ ence, and he was extolling the ad vantages of San Francisco, where he had been brought up. 'It's the finest oity in tne world to live in," said he; 'we're right near Honolulu and .Tanan and Manila and in Frisco you can get anything you want.' 'But,' interposed an easterner who happened to be in the crowd, 'you're so tar irom New rork!' 'New York,' said the Frisco man. with scathing indifference, 'what would you want to go there for? Detroit Free Press. Bound to See. Since the wreck of a train of the Gollmar Brothers' circus at Kemnton Ind., last week, one of their large ela- pnants refuses to board or alight from her car. It requires a block and tackle to get her aboard, and the same means to get her to alight. Once in the car she immediately butts her head througn. so that she can see what is going on. At the I.. E. W. station at Hart ford City. Ind., yesterday the animal noticed the water spout extending from the water tank and wrapped her trunk around It and pulled it off, al most pulling the big tank over. The elephant is the mother of a babe two weeks old, and her actions since thi wreck have been remarkable and are attributed to the love and fear for the safety of her babe. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Chicago's First Settler. Mrs. Eleanor Hamilton Keenon, 859 Washington boulevard, lays claim to be not only the first white child born in Chicago, but also the oldest living pio neer. The first claim has been accept ed as a fact by the Chicago Historical society, while the second remains open to dispute. It was while Indians were growling about Fort Dearborn, and while the settlers who inhabited the fort were in doubt as to what disposition would be made of them that Mrs. Kee non was born, on February 14, 1832. Having seen the city grow from a little trading post to its present proportions, Mrs. Keenon says her one ambition is to live until it is the biggest in Ameri ca. Chicago Tribune. Who Was She? A society woman of Topeka surprised a Kansas City man very much a few days ago. The man is a "woman's tail or" and the Topeka woman came here to have a dress fitted. When she reach ed the station to take her train for home she missed a valuable diamond sun brust. Becoming excited, she rushed across the street into a room, which proved to be a saloon, and finally got the tailor shop on the phone. Before the tailor answered, though, she felt the sunburst slip down her arm inside of her dress. Just then the tailor came to the phone. Still excited, but realizing she must say something to him, the woman said: "Is that you, Mr. Blank?" "It is." was the reply. "Well," she said, "I I just thought I'd call up and say good-by." Kansas City Times. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The patient man seldom collects his debts. The pink of perfection doesn't extend to noses. Can you say of the rain: "It never will be mist?" The fellow with' a pull is generally right in the push. The acrobat even likes his meals done to a turn. You can't always tell a mean man from his demeanor. The theatrical lawyer is always looking for a show case. A Kensingeon sign reads: "Our carpets are hard to beat. It makes a fellow feel chear to ralize that he has been sold. Any fallow can chew the rag, but biting sarcasm is another matter. Riches may not bring happiness, but that fact doesn't make us want to stay poor. No, Maude, dear, it isn't necessary to swallow a yardstick in order to measure your words. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Professional jolliers have many female friends. Fame is all well enough for those who can afford it. A man doesn't amount to much unless he Is able to prove it. ixrve realizes its blindness shortly after the marriage ceremony. The first and last years of a man's life are not very strenuous. A man should hide nothing from his wife even if it were possible. Statistics show there are fewer blondes than formerly. Can this be the result of a peroxide trust? A kiss and a smile have been the un doing of many a good man, while a kick and a cuff have been the makins of. many another.

I'm going to begin a diary again, be cause I met my Fate today, and I al ways begin a diary right after I've met my Fate. Somehow, at other times, there's nothing to write about, except earner, and what you've had for dinner, and that gets tiresome. I met him in a Jewelry store. Grace Coleman and I went in to look at" 'bracelets for one of ray sisters for Christmas, and we saw him. Mr. Burr, a friend of mine, works there, too, (that's not why nc ln, tnougni, and we met him going out, and Mr. Chase (that is his name) seemed so pleasant that I began to juiiy mm (urace and I both did) and I Showed him the rinc- T uantpH him tn tell Mr. Burr to get me for Christmas. A kind of cute way of letting him know wiiai x wanted, i thought, without hint ing. I hate people who hint, and people who can't take a hint, too, for that mat ter. We told him our first names, but not our last ones. That was diplomacy. I wanted him to think of me as Faith from the very beginning. At last, we nteraiiy tore ourselves away. Now I'm going to describe us both of us so I can see how well we go together. He's about my height, has brown hair, brown eyes, medium complexion and wears glasses. And his smile is divine and Illuminating. I'm about his height and have green eyes and a red face, and ought, therefore, to be good looking. since green and red are supposed to go wen together, but I'm not because when I was made I got all the left over freckles and there were a lot left over. And my hair's the color of dirt what there is of it. Some people think it's sprinkled with gray, but it isn't the gray hairs are all in my switch. It's the family switch, and originally be longed to my mother. Well, he's not exactly my ideal, but O, "when Love comes in" one doesn't care what the object of adoration looks like. I know I could love him if he were eyeless, earless, hairless and tooth less in fact, if he were like the Cheshire cat and there were nothing to him but his smile. All the other times I have just imagined myself in Love, but this time it is sure, for I can't begin to ex press what I feel for him. To say I'm crazy about him doesn't begin to tell it. December 21. Of course I only write on the days when I see him. I went in today to get my locket fixed. I purposely waited three whole weeks to see if he'd know me after so long a time and he did. Only he called me Grace. I felt bo hurt to think he didn't remember my name that I made him think the solitaire I was wearing was my engagement ring, whereas it was one my brother got for his girl for Christmas and I was just wearing it to show it off. I m so mis erable tonight, and I thought to be so happy after seeing him again. One thing sure I'll never take Grace Cole man in there with me again. She's a whole lot prettier than I am, but he doesn't know how young and frivolous she is not fit for any man's wife. December 22. Well I didn't intend to go back again today, but I did, because I couldn't bear to think how he must be suffering over that diamond ring. And I also reasoned thus: If he thought I was going around wearing other men's diamonds, would he be likely to give me one himself? No. So I went in without it. He was busy so I didn't stay long, but all the time I was there I leaned my elbows on the counter and I kept my hands to mv face, and O. the poor fellow looked so relieved. I know he didn't sleep last night. How he has suffered! December 24. I went in today to get my locket. I've been thinking it over and have decided it's too soon for him to give me a dia mond, and I haven't let him know my taste concerning a single other thing. and this is the day before Christmas. He was busy as usual, so I talked to Mr. Burr a minute and when I left I wished them both a Merry Christmas, and then I said real loud to Mr. Burr, "Don't forget that American Beauties and Cleveland s Choice are my favor ites." Mr. Chase looked up with his heavenly smile, and O, I just can t wait 'til tomorrow comes. I'll have to count sheep all night. December 25 (12 o'clock night) This day has passed like a horrible nightmare. Not a word from hfm not a sign. American Beauties! Cleveland's Choice! O, I was a fool to put my faith in a man. To be in love is awful. I'd rather have typhoid fever or smallpox anv day. How dare he trifle with a young girl's affections in this way. When 1 die I want this placed on my tombstone: "She has done what she could," for Heaven knows I have. January, 30, 1905. I've tried to shut his image out of my heart, but it is impossible. I saw Mr. Burr tonight and he said to be, "Faith, why don't you come in the store any more? Mr. Chase keeps wondering what's the matter with you." I could not answer. My heart was too full. But I shall not go back for awhile. He de serves to suffer even as I have suffered. February 14. I saw him. I hunted up an old bro ken ring and took it in to have it fixed. He" was enchanting. He gave me the little envelope for my ring and told me to write mv own name and I wrote "Mrs. Faith Trevis." I rather feared the effect it would have on him, but he didn't stagger or turn pale or cry, "Ah! Can it be true?" or anything, but I know it was because he didn't believe it. I am happy again. O, he is forty-seven angels. February ?3. I met him on the street today and he spoke to me perfectly heavenly. March 14. I went in the store today with Mar garet Snow, to price gold beads, and we talked to him quite awhile. After we got outside. Margaret dared me to go back and tell him to shave, and al though I thought it was very vulgar still, I'm one of those idiots who won t take a dare, so I did, and he laughed so I was glad I did. He likes to be jollied, I think. March 20. I telephoned to the store today, and he answered. The following is our con versation "Hello! Is this Mr. Chaser "Yes." "I wanted to know if you were shaved today or not?" "The Lord have mercy on you. (I hate to write that but I may have to get used to worse than that if I marry him). "I just asked because I m going to think about you awhile this afternoon, and I didn't know whether to think of you shaved or upshaved.' "Well, I know how to think about you." "How?" "As the meanest girl in town. Do you want to talk to the other fellow? Here he is." But I rang off. Of course I didn't want to talk to anyone after talking to him. As to his calling me "mean," I like it. for I never call a boy "a mean old thing," unless I'm rather fond of him. April 7th. I went in today to get a knife Mr. Burr had of mine, and Mr. Chase didn't have his glasses on and I toid him he looked like he was just acoui. half present, and he wasn't a bit of fended. I do believe he would just let me say anything to him. April 13th. I went to a Dartv this afternoon and stopped in the store to telephone and he hid my parasol and wouldn't hard ly let me go. As I was leaving ne pre tended to scold me for 'phoning him about shaving, and I told him I did it for his sweet sake and he looked so pleased. When I got to the party I called him up and told him I thought he'd be elad to know I arrived in safety, and did the same thing when I got home. Mr. Burr makes me tired. He called me up later and told me ha thought my name ought to be "Chase" and when I asked "Why?" (tickled to death) he said, "Because you live up to it os well." I wish he'd go roll. I do not know the date I do not care. Life is a blank. My heart is mashed just like a spoiled straw berry. It is broken never to be re paired. And the worst of it is, a wo man is all heart, and a man is all head, and when a man breaks a wo man's heart she can't get even by breaking his head because it's so soft it won't break. But let me put the cause of my sorrow down ln black and white, for as yet I cannot realize the truth. I went into the store was it yesterday? It seems a thousand years ago. He was talking to a wo man and he turned to me and said. "Miss Faith, I want you to meet my wife." And I lived! But had he plunged a knife into my heart I should not have suffered so. How I got away how I reached home will al ways be a dark mystery. There is this comfort, I shall not live Ions to suffer thus I cannot. For appearances' sake, I manage to swallow a few mouthfuls at dinner and supper, but I cannot eat breakfast. It chokes me. And this question keeps whirling through my dizzy brain "Will I ever be the Same Girl again?" And every fibre of my being cries back in an anguish of despair, "Never! Never! Never! Imogen lracy.

Injured, sick, discouraged, disgusted, defeated five out of the six games play fed on the last trip, the White Sox came borne this morning to meet their first hake-up of the year. "We can't hit," said President Sheard. In the hope of correcting this weakness he has sig-ned up Lm Johnson of the Iowa State league, and "Chub" Hood, just released from Springfield. Both are outfielders. A new pitcher, by the name of Smith, not an uncommon cog nomen in these parts, was found at Kansas City. He is an amateur and a southpaw. He did have a try-out with lola two years agro in the Missouri Val ley league but retired because of illness. Johnson will probably not be here yet for several days. Mood will be in ceil-, terfield on Tuesday in Dutch Persch's place, while the noisy German will rest on the bench, labeled, "Can't Hit." Should Quig-lev's arm still be out of con dition, then Persch will work, and Hood will be at s&ort. The outfield, with the exception of Cole is not giving satisfaction with the stick. The little left fielder is doing very good work, but neither Persch nor Crum have hit anything like expected of them. "An outfielder is paid to hit." is the old saying, and it was more upon this basis that the two were hired than upon their undoubtedly fine fielding abilities. Crum has been sick and has not been in the best of condition and for that reason the management is still very lenient with him But Persch will not be given very much more rope. Unless he lifts that batting average pretty soon, and hits the leather the way be did so famously for Springfield last summer, he will have to go the rock-filled tin-can route. Johnson Is reputed to be a very fine fielder, but especially an exceptional hitter. He is a friend of Biil Howie, and comes here on the latter's recom mendation. On the former trip when Persch and Abbott got into a row and Persch's suspension for "too much talk" was threatened and probably his release, Johnson was wired and accepted terms. The Dutchman was reinstated, and the lowan informed that he was not want ed. When he comes, which wiil still be two or three days, he will be given a try in the outfield. Should he. beat out Crum's time, he will of course get the place. The management thinks how ever that "Froggie" will come to the scratch as soon as h is feeling better. Hood may stick. He hits like a fiend. His position is at third base and not in the outfield, but President Sheard likes Dii k Brown's work and would not part with him for a good deal, though Brown Is miserably weak at the bat and has not shown up well at third base. Hood gained his imputation at Nebraska. This is his first year of professional baseball. He had a try-out this spring with Little Rock, and was ?ent from there to Springfield. Hurl burt did not like the little fellow and one of his last official acts was to send him to the woods. Topeka happened along there on Friday with men out of the game because of injuries and sick ness. Hood fitted in like a storm-cave in a. cyclone. His work was so satisfac tory that he was annexed and will be given a chance to beat "Germany" Persch cut his home. Pr, Tliff Preaches. "Dr. T. C.

TO OUST THE MACHINE IMiiladelphia Reformers Plan to De feat Republican Organization. Philadelphia, June 19. The Repub lican city campaign committee today announced that a sub-committee of three consisting of Chairman James L. Miles, David Martin and David H. Lane had been appointed to meet a similar committee from the "commit tee of twenty-one" to consider a de mand that the party ticket named for the November election be changed. The committee is also empowered to see the candidates and endeavor to induce them to withdraw. The possible naming1 of a new ticket will not necessarily cause a withdrawal of the opposition to the Republican organization under the leadership of I. YV". Durham. Mayor Weaver and his friends, who formerly were strong allies of the organization, are believed to be hostile to any move that will continue the present leaders in power. In addition the committee of seventy, a strong reform organization, is per fecting itself in every ward with the declared intention of placing: a ticket in the field independent of what the Republican organization may do. The reform leaders are apparently confi dent of their ability to defeat the reg ular Republican ticket, and they say they will have the support of the mayor and practically of all the office holders recently appointed to take the place of the men removed since the mayor's war on the organization lead ers began S500,000 PAID OUT.

"Five hundred thousand dollars have been withdrawn since Saturday after noon. The officials are not trying to stop the run but are paying out as the depositors call for their money. The bank has a surplus of $SO,000 and a cap ital o $350,000. Police Court News. What might be considered "big busi ness," if compared with the past month, was attended to by the police Saturday night and Sunday. Two pairs of young men, James Wellman and Arthur Joys, and Chas. Williams and Carl Stuart, were arrest ed for fighting, and five tramps were gathered for trespassing on railroad property and sleeping in box cars. Be sides all this, two plain drunks were captured, and a young negro named Robert Chesney was turned over to the county authorities on the charge of stealing a watch from an old negro named Farrar. Saturday afternoon O. V. Stamey. the West Tenth avenue liveryman, entered a plea of guilty to the charge of dis turbing the peace of Mrs. W. C.

Unlikely That the Question Will Be Submitted. Will Be Considered at the Meet ing Tonight. There is a fighting chance that the council may move to submit to a vote of the people the waterworks law pass ed by the last legislature. The proposi tion comes before the city council for action this evening. If the special elec tion can be called and held without any .expense to the city by securing the ser vice of volunteers on the election boards five of the councilmen will probably be for it and possibly six. Two of the councilmen, Hughes and Griley, are out of the city and the vote of six council- men will deside the question. The councilmen who are favorably disposed to holding a special election on these terms are Horn, Green, Rice, Nipps and Swendson. Councilmen Hol liday, Ryder, Howe, Shimer and Simms will oppose the adoption of any motion looking to the calling of a special elec tion. Of these five Sims is the only tion. Of these five Simms is the only revision and it is possible that this evening he may decide to vote in favor of such an election. Councilmen Green and Swendson are supporting the movement looking to a management under the state law and are in favor of calling an election at this time regardless whether at the ex pense of the city or no, the remaining three councilmen are persuaded largely by the item of expense. Councilman Simms has also weighed the matter of expense. Councilmen Ryder, Holliday, Howe and Shimer are dissatisfied with the law as passed by the legislature. Councilman Howe said: "This is yet a tentative matter. I be lieve it would be a great deal wiser for the council to operate the waterworks under an ordinance Tather than to bind themselves to a state law. The state law, too, is defective in many partic ulars. This is generally conceded by every one. I think it would be wiser to operate under an ordinance appointing a board of commissioners in accordance with the provisions of Such an ordi nance. You will be getting the same re sults as if you had adopted" the state law without binding yourself fixedly to its faults or disadvantages. I think that the city attorney should be instruct ed to draw up an ordinance providing for the management of the waterworks plant or for that matter the present ordinance now pending would be all right and then let the city council adopt such an ordinance. I think it should be placed in the hands of a board of commissioners as soon as possible." Councilman C. K. Holliday said: "The people want rates and extensions. They were promised, that and they should have them. Hew do-you, think the peo ple will secure them when you place the sole power of control in a. board of com missioners as that law provides? Tou give an imperial board of three every thing to say and take the right of the people to dictate what shall be done away from them. Let the people have a voice. Pass an ordinance providing for the management and leave some of the power and voice with the council and the people and not entirely with a board of men who can do as their sweet will dictates." Councilman Swendson said in defense: "That talk of rates is all rot. Do you suppose that a board of commissioners, prominent and capable business men will make unfair rates. Do you think that they won't make as fair rates as the council? I don't. I believe that the board will be able better than the coun cil to fix equitable rates." Councilman Nipps states that he is inclined towards a hoard of commis sioners but feels that the matter of sub mitting an election should be held off for a time, but if the election can be called without expense he feels favora ble towards such a motion. Councilman Rice said this noon: "The people seem to want this election and I am willing that they should have it. However, I don't believe they fully re alize what the IcA" contemplates and if thev did I don't believe they would vote for "it." Councilman Shimer is not worried about the matter of expense attached to holding a special election. He sim ply does not like the proposed law with reference to the specifications it makes regarding extensions. He believes that extensions should be made aside from a basis of the revenues which it would brlntr in. that a petition properly sign ed should be sufficient to secure exten sions The reason that Mr. Shimer takes such a strong stand on this par titular Tihnse 4s on account of the small ness of the distribution of mains in his ward, the Fifth. ilman Simms states that he is undecided which way he will vote this evening. "I don't think a special elec toin should be called if it is going to cost something. But I don't see any reason for any haste now. Why can t they operate for a year under an ordi nance?' In case of the defeat of the resolution ir-fi-onf-orf bv Mr. Green to call a spec ial election, an effort will be made to call up the ordinance providing for the management, which has been pending before the council. wmiam V,. dirtis Comine. William E. Curtis, the Washington correspondent, who is making a tour of the southwest, will spend Tuesday in Topeka. He comes to Topeka tonight in a private car over the Santa Fe.

Man and Wife Found Dead. Los Angeles. Cal.. June 19. C. F,. Thaisses. manager of a drug store in Pasadena and his wife were found dead in a ranch house near Glendale, several miles north of this city last night. A bullet in the man's forehead and one in the woman's breast show how thev met their deaths. There were signs of a struggle in the house. The couple evidently quarreled and one had shot the other with a revol ver and then committed suicide. Pacific Tlall League Disbands. Salt Lake City, Utah, June 19. The Pacific National baseball league has disbanded. Following the withdrawal of the Ogden team, owing to tie inability I of the club to meet expenses, the man- agement of the Salt Lake club has de cided to quit. Both the Ogden and Salt Lake teams were paid off today and re leased. It is stated that the Spokane and Boise teams probably will be held together until after the Fourth of July. THIS IS PICTURE WEEK. Last Chance to See Fine Oil Paintings in Topeka. This week has been set apart by the Commercial club, the Women's clubs, and other organizations of Topeka as picture week. In the manual training school J30.000 worth of fine oil paintings by 37 of the best American artists re siding in New York, Boston, and abroad, are on exhibition. The pictures are all loaned by the artists, but the general expenses approach closely to $1,000. An attendance of but 1,200 people at 25 cents this week will pay all expenses and in sure the coming of- a similar exhibit every year hereafter. Every resident of Topeka who has the interests of the city at heart should visit the exhibition at least once. Not more than 10 per cent of the children of the public schools have attended thus far, why not 50 per cent? Surely the committee had a right to expect a larger percentage from our schools when it placed the admission at 10 cents. By far the largest attendance next to the high school has come from the colored Schools. Are the teachers at fault or is it the season? The attendance from a few of the women's clubs has been ex cellent, but from others it has been de plorable. The records of attendance show many surprises, and would form an excellent subject for consideration at the next federation meeting. All people are supposed to be Interested in fine pictures. No one can possibly find an excuse for not attending once or fre quently, when the small admission fee is considered, the great value or tne pictures, and their influence for good, and when Mr. Stone's talks on the pic tures are free to everybody. The Commercial club has chosen Wednesday evening for their night and a big attendance is looked for. Friday night is "Crosby-Mills-Crosby" night. Saturday night is "Santa Fe" night, oth er nights are being arranged for, ana it is hoped that when the pictures are re turned to New York next week at least 5,000 people in Topeka will have received the pleasure which the pictures afford to all visitors. By all means let Topeka have an annual exhibit. PLEADS HOT GUILTY. V. S. Senator Mitchell in Person Ap pears in Court. Portland, Ore., June 19.

ONE STUMBLING BLOCK In theWay of Success Is Munic ipal Politics. Chicago Has Given Evidence of Capacity to W in. Chicago. June 19. Mr. James Dal rymple said upon leaving for his return to Glasgow, that the necessity for public- ownership was caused by the insati able greed of private corporations en gaged in furnishing- public necessities, and that they had only themselves to blame for the growing public sentiment in favor of municipal ownership and control. To this he would have added the reprehensible practice of political manipulation by the private utility cor porations, had he been conversant with the history of American cities. I A He pointed out as one of the prime requisites for success the entire elim ination of politics from muniplcal man egement. While Chicago is cursed with the ex- hibition of private corporate greed in the matter of those utilities furnished under private management, fortunately the public spirit of the citizens haselim inated almost entirely the corruption in cident thereto. This has only been ac complished by independence of the voter. In 1854, within seventeen years after Chicago had become an incorporated town, the people exercised the right of municipal ownership by. taking over the water plant.' Since then the city has constructed five great intake cribs in Lake Michigan, from two to five miles distant from the shore, has built five large tunnels aggregating 37.7 miles in length of from five to ten feet in diame ter connecting these cribs with the sev eral pumping stations, has completed ten large pumping stations, has laid over 2,000 miles of mains, has placed over 2Q,00 hydrants and over 10,000 valves, and now has a complete first class plant actually pumping over 140,- ooo.ooo.ooo gallons of water a year, or 188 gallons per capita daily. Plant Pays for Itself. This plant has been built, extensions find repairs made, and all cost of opera tion paid, wholly out of the income of the plant itself. In addition the plant Is furnishing free service that would cost the city under private ownership $1,000,000 per year, and has paid over in to the sewer fund $4,000,000, and is earning a profit today of about $1,500, ooo annually. And the rates are among me lowest ot any city m America. The entire cost of this plant to the city, from 3854, when it was taken over, to the present time, including original purchase price, all betterments and ex (tnsiuns, is the sum of $37,354,923. If a private company owned it the city probably couldn't buy it for less than $200,000,000, basing the estimate upon the amount now asked of the city by the street railway companies for their properties. When it is considered that this great property has been paid for out of the earnings of the plant and that water rates have been repeatedly reduced and that this enormously valuable plant is en asset of the people, the splendid ad vantages of municipal ownership are demonstrated beyond question. It is no wonder the people of Chicago vote al most unanimously in favor of municipal ownership every time the question is submitted to them. The san.e gratifying result is shown in the 16 years' experience of Chicago in municipal ownership of its public light ing plants. And this result could no doubt be enhanced by placing all the public lighting plants under one man agement. As it is the city operates four public lighting plants and the three park riisni 'ts a lighting plant each. But with th.s cost per arc per year is only $34 Denver pays $00. Hisrh Price for Coal. t must be remembered also that in ','hioago steam coal costs from $2.10 to $3.30 per ton. In Denver steam coal costs $1.40 per ton. And yet City Electrician Carrol said today that when the new 4.500 arc capacity piant is in full opera tion it will produce electric current at 9-10 cent per kilov, att hour for an eleven-hour run and for 77-100 cent per kilowatt hour for a 24-hour run. And this Plant wiil furnish both incandescent and arc lighting. By virtue of an act of the last Illi nois legislature the way is now open to Chicago to furnish commercial light as foon as it can get plants of sufficient capacity. When that occurs the com mercial light rates will be cut in two and still the city will reap a handsome profit under municipal ownership. In the meantime Mayor Dunne is go ing straight ahead in the acquisition by the city of all the street railways of Chicago. While this may incur the out lay of a large sum, yet the first cost soon be repaid out ol the. enormous hot weather. We Jl J f ff PrrJ rapes 7 m east sixth si profits, and at the same time the people will be given decent service, which the' do not now get. The physical plant of the Chicago street railways is estimated as being worth not over $27,000,000. It will take $:-!0,000,000 to put it in first class tSjidition. The present worth of the franchise values, for which the com panies paid the people nothing, but for the return of which the companies now demand the people shall pay them, is about $105,000,000, estimated upon the annual earnings. It is probable that the city will offer $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 for the entire properties and franchises and that if the companies do not accept then the properties will be taken by condemnation proceedings. A Business Proposition. Even should Chicago be compelled to pay as high as $80,000,000 for these pro perties, street car experts estimate that with 5-cent fares the city can meet all interest charges and pay off the entirn principal within 20 years out of the earnings of the system, besides expend ing $1,000,000 a year for improvements and betterments; and at the end of the 20 years Chicago will own its entire street car system free of debt, without it costing the people one cent. With the municipal ownership of light, water and transportation, Chicago will stand as a living example to all the other cities of the nation. Here the people will be furnished public necessi ties at actual cost. And to Mayor Dunne will belong the large credit for the final accomplishment of so splendid a result. GEN. GOMEZ IS DEAD. Native of San Domingo, But Leader of Cuban Patriots. Havana. June 19. General Maximo Gomez died at 6 o'clock Saturday even ing. Maximo Gomez, Cuban revolutionist. patriot and general, was born at Bani, Santo Domingo, In 1826. He served in the Spanish army in Santo Domingo and in Cuba, but in Cuba he became disgusted with Spanish rule and espec- aliy with the dishonesty and cruelty of Vilar, who was in command ot the Spanish forces, and whom Gomez per sonally assaulted. He left the Spanish army, settled down as a planter, and in the insurrection of 1868-78 Joined the in surgents and was made a colonel by the Cuban president, Cespedes. He was ac tive and able, and after Agramonte's death was put in command of the in surgents in Camaguey. When peace was made with Campos in 1878 Gomez went to Jamaica and then to Santo Domingo, where he lived on his farm until 1895, when the second Cuban revolution broke out. He be came general-in-chief of the forces of the republic of Cuba, and was especial ly active in Camaguey, where his per fect familiarity with the country stood him in good stead. He did little open fighting, but accomplished much by harassing the Spaniards and destroying their supplies. In May, last. General Gomez under went at Santiago, Cuba, an operation as the result of the spread of gangrene in an abscess on his hand. For a time his life was despaired of and his family was summoned to Santiago, but the j general recovered sufficiently to be moved to his home in Havana, June 7, on a special train. Until the morning of June 16 he showed signs of improve ment and hopes were entertained that the end might be postponed for a con siderable period. But from that time on the general failed until the end came. General Gomez's last public appear ance was at Havana, March 23. last, on the occasion of the visit of the American squadron to that port. He was the first speaker at the luncheon given at the National theater to the American offi cers, and he eulogized the United States sacrifices in behalf of Cuba,. adding that the Cubans would not forget their obli gations to the great republic.

Commissioner Johnson Charges High Prices to Them. Large Increases Have Been in Farm Produce. THE COST OF FLOUR. Evident That Millers Sell Cheap er Outside Topeka. Interesting Facts for Considera tion of the People. Here's a queer state of affairs! A truly shocking condition of things! It is the farmers and not the trusts which have been "extorting" money from the people of Kansas. At least that Is what can be proved by the vol uminous statistics on the cost of living recently compiled by Labor Commis sioner w. L. A. Johnson. It occurred to a State Journal reporter that some very interesting material might be obtained from Mr. Johnson's report to show how the robber trusts have been plundering the people of the state. Of course it was to be assumed that the trusts were plundering, because that was what everybody said they were doing. It would be interesting to show how the greedy and rapacious corporations had doubled and redoubled their prices on those things which peo ple must have to keep soul and body to gether. So a list was made out of some of the commodities which are generally believed to be controlled by the trusts. There was the millers' trust, and the sugar trust, and the cofee trust, and the meat trust, and the salt trust and the starch trust and the coal trust and the Standard Oil trust all of them very famous examples of trust "rapacity." The tables compiled by Mr.' Johnson with as much care as possible from six of the largest cities in the state for a period of four years, 1900 to 1904, were consulted, with the following result: Price Price Pet. 1900. Flour, 1st qual. sack $1.01 Sugar, white, lb 052 Coffee, Java, lb 2S1 Beef, round steak, lb 094 Bacon, lb 146 Ham, lb 129 Starch, lb 049 Salt, lb ti09 Coal, soft, ton 3.99 Kerosene, gal 15 1904. $1.33 .054 .2.86 .119 .163 .159 .051 .011 4.52 Inc 30.52 3.85 13.94 26.59 11.64 23. 25 2 82 u'.h 10.00 .165 Average per cent increase, 19.64. Of course 19 per cent increase in 1904 prices over 1900 prices is consider able of an increase, but somehow, it was a disappointment to a person who was expecting to establish a case of grand larceny against the wicked trusts. The per cent of increase should have loomed up much larger, to make a good story. So Just as a matter of curiosity, to see how the downtrodden and oppressed farmers have been faring in comparison with the robber trusts, it was decided to select some statistics from the same table about things which farmers have to sell. And the things selected were all raw material; there is no manufactur er's profit slapped on top by anybody. Price Price Pet. J 90O. Potatoes, white, bu .674 1904. Inc .99 1.079 1.409 .23 .168 6.46 43.77 57.05 75.47 31. K2 14.29 3.24 23.40 Potatoes, sweet, bu 6?7 Onions, bu Butter, country, lb.... Eggs, doz Wood, stove, cord Wood, srreen. cord.... 3 .154 .147 4.96 3.76 4.65 Average, per cent of increase, 39.43. This was really a terrible state of affairs. Instead of proving that the robber trusts had been getting their slimy hands down into the pockets of the Common People, the statitsics had proved that the farmers had raised the price on their commodities more than twice as much as the trusts had raised their prices. Do figures ever lie? That is a ques tion for the people who compiled these tables to anser. They are presented here for what they are worth and just as they will appear in the report to be issued by the state of Kansas. Of course it may be said that the big, increase in the price of trust goods was made prior to 1900, and that since that time they have simply been content to scoop in their profits. This may be the explanation, or it may be there is some other, and it is possible that there is none at all. Cost of Bread and Butter. However, there is one beautiful ex ample of how a combine can jack up prices on things, and it is found right here in the city of Topeka. It is well known that there is a combine among millers for the purpose of keeping up high prices on Topeka flour. Topeka made flour is sold, it is claimed, all over the state of Kansas cheaper than It is right at home, and Mr. Johnson's figures seem to prove it. In 1900, To peka was the cheapest flo.ur market in the state. In 1904, it is the dearest. Here are the figures: Cities 1900. 1904. $1,440 1.31 1.300 1.320 1.160 1.430 Inc Topeka, per sack .935 .55 .220 .SOD .220 .1911 .340 Salina, per sack l.'.'2o Leavenworth, per sack. I.00O Pittsburg, per sack 1.100 Wichita, per sack 970 Kansas city, sack imu Kansas Citv has long been suspect ed of having an advantage over all other cities in Kansas in freight rates and yet in 1900 the price of flour was 15.5 cents per sack more at that point than in the city or ropeka Railroad and milling facilities re-v. main practically the same, but in 1904 Topeka instead of being the lowest flour market was the highest and in Kansas City flour was one cent per sack cheaper than in Topeka instead or lai cents higher as during the year 1900. On creamery butter, however. To peka is the only town in the state which shows a decrease in price since 1900. This is of interest because it is claimed that the creameries are al working in a nice little combine of their own. fixing prices to suit them selves. The following are the prices on creamery DUlter: Cities Topeka, per lb Salina, per lb Leavenworth, per lb.. Pittsburg, per lb Wichita, per ib Kansas City, per lb.

Mrs. Noah Boyd Tried to Start a Fire AVitU GasoUne. Mrs. Noah Boyd, colored, was burned to death Saturday evening at 8:30 and her husband severely burned about the face and neck while attempting to light a kitchen fire with gasoline at her home, 231 Madison street. The gasoline exploded with severe force as Mrs. Boyd struck the match and set fire to the kindling. The flames which accompanied the explosion wrap ped Mrs. Boyd from head to foot in one blazeand beforeherhusband could get to her and render any material assistance she was fatally burned. In attempting to beat out the flames Boyd was severe ly burned about the face, head and neck. Neighbors heard the woman scream and saw the flames burst from the kitchen windows. Those who were nearby ran to the house to render as sistance but the damage had already been done. The force of the explosion tore the woman's body and the flames had burned her so that the flesh was literally dropping from the bones. The explosion wrecked the stove and set fire to the house but the Are department arrived before much damage was done. Boyd was taken to Keith's hospital and is resting easily. At first it was thought his injuries would tfe fatal but he was reported conscious this morning and there are fair chances for his recovery. The hair upon his head was all burned off and the skin on his face and hands is falling off but he did not inhale any flames and this factor gave strong as surance for his recovery. Boyd is a son of Colonel Richard Boyd, prison guard at police headquarters. WRECK KILLS 35. A Ilead-On Collision Between a Pas senger Train and a Freight. Baltimore, June 19. Twenty-three persons were killed and many in jured in a head-on collision on the Western Maryland railroad at Ran some station, 28 miles from Balti more, Saturday night. A westbound passenger train and an eastbound freight train crashed together. All the dead were employes of the railroad returning to their homes In the small towns along the railroad to spend Sunday. With the exception of the train crews, they had been at work repairing the damage done to the roadbed ten days ago by a minor freight wreck at Mount Hope station, near this city. The train, which was No. 5, passenger westbound, carried a large number of passengers, ail the coaches being filled. As many of the workmen as could do so went into the baggage car, the remainder of the gang of thirty-five finding places 011 the platforms between the mail and baggage cars and between the latter and the tender In the neighborhood of Patapsco station, about eight miles from Win chester, the Western Maryland has many curves and that just west of the bridge crossing the Patapsco river is a sharp one. The extra freight, made up of heavy coal and provision cars, was running east. It should have taken a siding to allow No. 5 to pass. Such were the orders. Whether they were disregarded will never be known, for those who should have seen that they were obeyed are dead. LESS CONTAGIOUS DISEASE. Keport of State Board of Shows Big Decrease. Health Dr. S.

To the Editor of the State Journal. I notice by Saturday evening's State Journal that Governor Hoch has Just announced the appointment of a new state text book commission. It is stated that of the eight members, three are Republicans, three Democrats, one a Silver Republican and one a Pro hibitionist. Now I would like to inquire of the governor, through the State Journal, why he ignored one of the three leading parties of the state in making his ap pointments on a commission of such vi tal importance to the people of Kan sas, and gave one of the minor parties the Prohibitionist, a place on the board and also gave a place to a rep resentative of a defunct party the Sil ver Republican. The Socialist party at the last elec tion polled 15.496 votes for president, while the Prohibition party candidate received but 7,245 votes, less than half as many as the Socialist candidate. There was no such a party in the field as "Silver Republican," yet it is an nounced that a "Silver Republican" was appointed, while the party polling the third largest vote in the state was left out. Wrhy, I ask, as a long resident of Kansas and one who is interested in the welfare of the state, and has the best interests of the schools at heart, why this discrimination against a rising young party, a party which encircles the globe, the only party which is world wide? I, together with many thousands other residents of our state would be pleased to have an explanation from our governor for this partisan action on his part. T. J. MAXWELL. June 13-. 1305.

STOCKS First prices in the stock market generally were some fractions higher than 011 Satur day. The market showed no sign of ani mation and the ticker came practically to a standstill within a few minutes after the opening. A decline of point in Ameri can Car and Foundry was the widest change recorded. Stocks which are usually the me4ium of profitable trades were not dealt in half a dozen times during the first hour. The un dertone of the market was firm and tho only semblance of activity was in the Wisconsin Central stocks. The common moved up 1 point and the preferred "1 points. Lnited Katiway ana Investment preferred and Enp.meling preferred also rose a point and Great Nortnern preferred 2 points. Ontario and Western fell off 1 point and American Car and Foundry 1 points. Better priCes were obtained for stocks, the demand lifting them almost impercep tibly, until several of the leaders ruled point above Saturday's closing. Of thesa l S. Steel preferred, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Tennessee Coal were the most prominent. Steel Foundries preferred in creased its rise to 2 points while North western yielded an ear'ier gain of as much. New York Dock rose 1 point. The leading speculative stocks moved slowly upwards from -ff point, the lat ter figure for X'nion Pacific. The slight activity centered in that stock. St. Paul. Reading. Pennsylvania. United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper. North western rose 2 points, New York Dock preferred 1 points and Steel Foundries preferred and Metropolitan Securities 1 point. The bond market was dull and irregular at noon. What little there was of Interest in the late market developed in stock that has no bearing on general sentiment. Penn sylvania was the only favorite stock that moved substantially. Pennsylvania. St. Paul, Minneapolis and Sault Ste Marie and Western Union improved point. Atlan tic Coast Dine 1 point, Knickerbocker Ice 2 points and Wheeling and Lake Erie 1 points. St. Ijouis Southwestern ran off 1 points and General Electric 1 points, Itange or Prices on Mock.

JLA. jfeJk JLaL jLA AJL jfk -V-- A two-weeks Sale of all Summer and Spring Goods the most radical clearance in our store's history. This sale is forced upon us for two reasons -the backward spring and summer season and the enormous stocks on hand now, that should have been sold in April and May. We've really had no summer till now the result is we have too many summer goods. To move these goods quickly we'll CUT THE PRICES right away which is two weeks earlier than our usual July clearance. This makes our selling time the same as your buying time, for the summer is yet to come. This sale will be one of deep Cut-Prices on good, staple, seasonable goods and there is economy and saving in every purchase. We'll cut the price we'll cut the profit we'll cut even the cost in many cases and you can gather up (or save) these "cuttings" in the form of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollars at this sale on every purchase made. We are bound to make this the biggest sale we've ever held this season of the year. To miss it would be like missing our Thanksgiving Sale for at these two important sales the one for winter and .the other summer just six months apart you can buy for the whole year and you will bank many dollars for the urainy day." i i

Miss Louise Kellam has asked guests for an informal reception Fri day evening to meet Miss Helen Rip ley of Boston, whom she expects Wednesday, to vsit her. The wedding of Miss Elizabeth Old ham of Kansas City, Mrs. Charles S. Downing's sister, who has been very popular on her frequent visiits to To peka, is of especial interest here. The following:, concerning it, is from the Kansas City Times: "John IX Schwitzgebel and Miss Elizabeth Oldham were married Sat urday night at the home of Judge Henry N. Ess, 2416 Brooklyn avenue. An automobile, which was to have conveyed them to the residence of J. J. Foster, 2001 Woodland avenue, after the ceremony, was found to have been tampered with by someone, so a car riage was called. "Mr. and Mrs. Schwitzgebel left Judge Ess's house, followed by an other carriage containing these guests at the wedding: Thomas R.eed, son of Homer Reed; Leo Crabbs, son of Frank D. Crabbs, president of the Union Bank Note company; Charles Schwitzgebel. a brother of the bride groom; Waterman Stone, Jesse Oppen lieimer and George Oppenheimer. An other carriage followed that in which the young men rode. It carried the bridesmaids. "At Mr. Foster's house Mr. Schwitz gebel found, to his dismay, that the key given him would not fit the front door. "Leaving the bride on the front steps Mr. Schwitzgebel went to the back door to try the lock there. While he was absent the young men who had followed, seized the bride and forced her. laughing and protesting, into a "BUT THE PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOLS." A Man la a Position lo Know Telis of Some of the Schemes That Are Being Tried on the Public. A leading and successful St. Louis grocer boldly expresses himself with reference to the methods resorted to now-a-days to unload certain kinds of goods. He says: "Any time you try to fool the Amer ican People into buying something of inferior character by free offers, premiums, prizes, etc., you' are en aged in a piece of up hill business. It may look good for a while, but it will fall flat sooner or later sure as fate. The people are not fools, by any means, and they know that they have to pay for everything they get, and that nobody is going to give them something for nothing. Any nrticle of merchandise that has to depend on a premium to sell it is a good thing to leave alone, for it is necessarily bad in itself and the intelligent people will not be long in finding it out. "This truth has been well demon strated in the many attempts to mar ket various kinds of cereal foods dur ing the past few years. Doll babies, penny dishes, prize coupons and all sorts of dodges have been resorted to to lure the unsuspecting into buying the goods. They would stick all sorts of dirty articles manufactured by cheap foreign labor, right into the package of food which they foolishly expected people to buy and eat. "I am happy to sta'e, however, that the one cereal food which has at al! times steered clear of these tactics and has relied solely on Its own merits to sell it has turned out to be the only success of the whole lot, and that food is Egg-O-See. It is so much better end more wholesome and delicious than all the rest that the people are glad to buy it without the inducement of any jim crack premiums. They are buying it, too, more than all the rest put together. They say they get their full money's worth when they buy Egg-O-See and they rely on it ab solutely. It is out-selling all the rest six to one and when a customer once starts on it. he never quits. "Egg-O-See is always fresh, crisp, clean, wholesome, nourishing, honest. It has succeeded because it deserved success. People like it best because it is the best and they say so and feel so. It will be with us when all the rest have been forgotten." Egg-O-See sells for onlv 10 cents at all grocers' a large, airtight, inner lined, germ proof package. Try it once and you will see for yourself why everybody says it is the best of mil. if OS ft f- carriage and took her to the Hotel Baltimore, where they ordered supper and prepared to await the arrival of the bridegroom." Concerning the approaching wed ding of Miss Noretta Mix of Chicago, and Mr. Dean R. Low of Chelsea, I. T., the Chicago Tribune of Saturday said: "Miss Mix will have several affairs given for her prior to her wedding. Mrs. Clarke Dean will entertain this afternoon for her, and tomorrow even ing Mr. and Mrs. Karl M. Gundrum will give a dinner for the bridal party.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING JUNE 19, 1905 10 SNAPSHOTS AT HOME NEWS. The council meets this evening at an adjourned session. Cantaloupes, wrapped In tissue paper, re in tha latest style. The Topeka postoffiee will have five additional carriers alter July 1. The SellK Downs shows are making a tour of Canada. They will be at Mon treal July 1. Last niirhfs rain filled the cracks which remained in the ground after the rain of last week. Miss Estelle Riddle, field secretary of Bethany college, is visiting various towns in the state. C K. Hollidav who has been in Chi cago on business for the past five days returned home Sunday. Herbert C. Chivers, a well known St. Louis architect, is visiting C. Chivers and family whiie on his way to Califor nia to meet his wife. F. H. Nipps, Missouri Pacific agent, pent the day in Kansas city wnere a meetintr of all the agents of the system was held to inspect the terminals at that point. The catch basins over the city were blocked with drift and mud this morn ing. The street force was sent out to ciear out the debris. Trie neavy rams of the last few days have kept the street department unusually busy. The Lawrence Oazette says: Carl Rutter who has been in the Santa Fe shops at Topeka has decided to give up his work theru and remain in his fath er's shop in Lawrence. He will be at home beginning with next week. It is possible that the park commis sioners will borrow the money necessary to lay a three inch main to supply the lakes in Central park with city water rather than to wait for action from the waterworks committee of the city eoun ei). The detention hospital southeast of town has one smallpox patient. For several weeks the hospital has been en tirely free of patients. City Physician HoKftboom states that the presence of smallpox during the summer months in the city is not significant of any epi demic later on in the season and that Topeka is experiencing the same con ditions which prevail in other cities. Smallpox, according to the city phy sician, is more prevalent this year over the United States than it has been for ome time and no particular locality is immune. SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES. The receipts of the Norton postoffiee the past year was 55,700, nearly one thousand more than in any other year. This wiil entitle ex-State Senator K. V. Peterson, who is postmaster, to a raise in salary. One of the most enthusiastic com mercial and business clubs is that at Plainville. It was recently organized, end it is already on the track of get ting some manufacturing industries for the town. The men who compose the club are the wide-awake business men of the town. The mayor and city council of Glen Elder have called upon the people of that town to suggest a suitable name for the cemetery. They say they want the people to select a nice name, which they say will be made one of the finest of burying grounds. The new Farmers' and Merchants' State bank of Plainville, will com mence business August 1. with a capi tal of $1 5.000. John D. Robertson, of Kansas City, a former Jewell county business man, will be president. The city government of Phillipsburg are expending about $2,500 in durable street crossings. No town in this part of northwest Kansas is doing more building. Henry R. Honey, editor of the Western Advocate, of Mankato, has lived in Kansas for the last forty years, and in all these years he has talked for -Kansas, and is always willing to take the medicine he prescribes for othei's. Having made money in re cent years out of his newspaper, he recently invested in 1,120 acres of Rawlins county land, which is today worth twice what it cost him. Last week he refused $2,400 for a piece of land which cost him $1,175 a year ago. The fellow who uses a little judgment in betting on western Kansas land is a sure winner. So far announced Randall is the only town in Jewell county going to cele brate July Fourth. R. W. Turner, of ilaiiKaw, will make the oration. J. H. WooMen, postmaster at Mankato has recently held a civil service exam ination for rural routes in Jewell coun ty. A class of ten met. A county svs tern will no doubt be established in this county not later than this fall. This system will give no less than 3S5 fami lies service which don't now receive it end will practically cover the entire county. A movement is on foot very quietly in jeweii county to Dring out a man for congress against Reeder. And it is said mat man will not be Havs B. White. The leaders in the movement aon t expect a Jewell countv man can be nominated, but rumor says they want to control the delegation in favor of J. R. Burrow. The names so far mentioned are Dr. A. B. Peters and R. H. McRride, member of the legislature from Jewell county. It is known that MeBride was a great boss buster in the last campaign, while Dr. Peters was more cunning, and said little or nothing except to his most intimate friends. Four years ago Hays B. White took the delegation from Jewell county to the Xsorton convention for him for congress and they voted for him so long as he stood any show, but they were for Keeder tor second choice. History is pretty apt to repeat itself again in Jew ell county, for Congressman Reeder has a wnoie army ot warm friends in the county. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. King, editors and publishers of the Plainville Gazette, were fortunate enough to take in a por tion of the meeting and jaunt of the National Kditorial association. They nre also building a new home in Plain ville. The friends of Hays B. White of Jewell county, are urging him to enter the race for railroad commissioner in 1906. Not only does this call come from Jewell county but from the whole Sixth district. Those who know Mr. White his practical and successful mode of farming anrl raising stock and his knowledge of the duties of railroad commissioner as he worked for the rights of the shipper and business man when he was state senator, should give him weight if he allows his name to be used for railroad commissioner. The Hill City Republican, which is printed in the home of John Dawson, The only high (trade Baking; Powder made at a moderate price. I ii v u X r f a e j t. V- -.ai. t aa M Hi Hi it ii (I assistant attorney general, truthfully says that this gentleman, meaning Mr. Dawson, "would make a rattling good attorney general, and one, too,-all Kan sas would feel proud of." In a letter from Atwood, Rawlins county, the writer says: "We have had fine rains here and crops are look ing good. Lands are going up every day." The same is true throughout all of the Sixth district. Every railroad train headed this way is carrying large numbers of land seekers. WELCOME TO WINDSOR. Large Delegation of Canadians Re ceived by King Edward. Windsor, England, June 19 King Ed ward and Queen Alexandra gave the heartiest welcome this afternoon to the 103 Canadian women and the 175 mem bers of the Canadian Manufacturers' as sociation who arrived yesterday on board the steamer Victorian from Mon treal and Quebec and whose presence at Windsor castle was commanded for today. The party was met at the rail road station by seventy carriages pro vided by the king and were shown the Victorian Mausoleum and other sights. The visitors were then received on the east terrace of the castle by their majes ties, the king saying so that all could hear: "Welcome to England. Welcome to Windsor. I hope you will all enjoy your visit to the old country." The visitors then sang the national anthem. THEY WERE SLOW INDEED. City League Teams Didn't Even Try to Play Ball. Two of the slowest exhibitions of the national game that were ever played were put on at League park Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 150 persons who paid their good two- bits to see a lot of horse p'.ay. The first exhibition was put on by the alleged teams of North Topeka and the Clippers. The score was 7 to 0. Elmore in the box for the Clippers was batted hard and with the errors his team made behind him handed the game to North Topeka who would have refused it but for Priddy's line pitching which was the redeeming feature of the afternoon. He struck out 14 men in seven innings and al lowed but one hit, but outside of his work the game was slow and lirlless and so uninteresting that many left before the game was half over the rest remaining because they were as sured that the following game would repay them for the time lost. Neither team could bat in order and kept running in their heavy hit ters whenever they were needed, one batter of the North Topekas baHing six times in four innings. To keep tabulated score and keep it correct was something that the most expert scorer couldn't do so following are the runs, hits and errors: R. H E. North Topeka 7 10 4 Clippers 0 1 11 The contest between the Santa Fes and Flambeaus was worse than the first, the game getting so slow that the players quit in the seventh on ac count of the lack of interest. There was not one feature except the bad quality of the fielding. To keep tabulated scores would drive on'! to drink and an abundance of errors of every sort, also the scorer respects the players too much to print their names in connection with the box score. Following are the runs, hits and errors: R.H.E. Santa Fe ...7 7 IS Flambeaus 13 11 6 AT THE SENECA CONGRESS. A Crowd of About 10,000 Catholics to Attend the Session. Leavenworth. Kas., June 19. It is estimated that no less than 500 Catho lics of Leavenworth left here Sunday on a special Missouri Pacific train for Seneca, to attend, in that place, the first Catholic congress ever held in the state of Kansas. Those who are on the ground and have the arrangement for the congress in hand expect a crowd of at least 10,000 persons to be present. The congress is being given under the auspices of the Nemaha county Federation of Catholic societies. The congress will be held in the open air and speeches are to be made by Rt. Rev. Bishop Lillis, D. D., bishop of Leavenworth diocese: Mayor (Ex Lieutenant Governor) A. J. Felt, Nicholas Gonner of Dubuque, la.; Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Moines. Ia., and others. The people of Seneca state that the congress is not a, money making scheme, but a strictly religious outing, held for the purpose of bringing the Catholics of the state together to talk over Catholic colonization, and other matters of interest to the church. At Seneca dinner -and supper are to be served at the rrice of 25 cents a meal, and all of the carriages in the county, it is said, will be provided for the visitors to go to St. Benedict, four miles north of Seneca, to view what the Seneca Catholics proudly claim to be the most beautiful church west of Chicago. rostoffice Clerks Promoted.

DEVLIN IS ILL 9 Erroneously Reported That He Had Suffered Stroke of Apoplexy. Resultant to becoming overheated in his office on Friday afternoon, C. J. Devlin, the millionaire coal dealer of this city, suffered an attack of acute indigestion and was very ill on Sun day. His condition is much improved, however, today, and the attendant physician stated this morning that he would be out again in a few days. It was erroneously reported on the streets Sunday that Mr. Devlin had suffered a stroke of apoplexy in the morning while at the breakfast table, and it caused a great deal of anxiety among his friends. Dr. W. S. Linsay, who is caring for Mr. Devlin, said this morning: "I was called on Saturday and found Mr. Devlin suffering from acute indigestion. He became overheated in his office on Friday afternoon. On Sunday morning he was very sick, but was much improved last night. Be cause he is not used to being sick, and is large and well proportioned, he will not escape as gracefully from the at tack as some other people might. I have no fear of complications, how ever, because he has no temperature or fever. He will be around again in a few days, from present appear ances." At Mr. Devlin's home. Thirteenth and Topeka avenue, it was also stated this morning that his condition was improved, and that he was only suf fering from intestinal trouble and not apoplexy, as a current rumor over the city had it yesterday. J. D. Norton, the local manager of Mr. Devlin's interests, stated at the Mt. Carmel Coal company's office on Ninth street, that Mr. Devlin's condi tion is due to being overheated in his office last week. "I also heard yes terday," said Mr. Norton, "that Mr. Devlin suffered a stroke of apoplexy. Upon asking at the home, however, I learned that it was acute indigestion, from which, I understand, he has suf fered some before." IT RAINED STEEL Two Killed and Many Injured by an Explosion.
