Marie Is Celebrating Anniversary of the Canal. The City Is Crowded With Thousands of Visitors. FAIRBANKS IS THERE. He Is the Principal Speaker of the Occasion. Tarades on Land and Water and Firing of Canuon. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Aug. 2. iWlth the city crowded with thousands of visitors and with hundreds of yards of bunting flying: in the breeze from all the buildings on both the Amer ican and Canadian sides of St. Mary's river, a salute at sunrise from the gov ernment ships in the harbor opened the two days' celebration of the semi-centennial oC the opening of the St. Marys ship canal, which connects Lake Superior with the lower lake. Fifty vears ago the first ship canal around the rapids of the St. Marys river was completed and opened, with two locks 860 feet in length, and a depth of 13 feet. Today the American canal has locks, one 515 feet long, the other 800 feet long, and 21 feet deep, while there is also a Canadian lock 1,000 feet in length. More traffic passes through these three locks than through any similar waterway in the world. In 1904, 38,000 passengers were transported through the canal, and a total of 3,546,106 tons of freight with a value of 340 million. The semi centennial celebration and the erec tion later of a monument as a per manent memorial -was made possible by the appropriation of $10,000 by the United States and $15,000 by the state of Michigan, and the contribution of a considerable amount by the ship in terests of the lakes. Visitors have been arriving in the city by hundreds since Monday. The two days of the celebration were declared legal holidays on both sides of the river and business has been suspended wherever possible. Many vessels arranged their trips so they would pass through the canal during the celebration. Vice President Fairbanks, Governor Warner of Michigan and his staff, Senator Burrows, Congressman Burton of Ohio, William Livingstone, president of the Lake Shippers' association and others are among the distinguished visitors present. Rodolphe Lemieux, solicitor general of Canada, and a party of Canadian officials also are participating in the celebration. The first day was devoted to naval and military parade's and other exhibitions nd a reception by Governor Warner to the distinguished guests, followed by a magnificent exhibition of fire works. Fairbanks Sees Parade. Vice President Fairbanks and Gov ernor Warner reviewed the naval parade from the deck of the reserve chip Yantic. The military parade was participat ed in by a battalion of the First U. S. infantry, a number of com panies of Michigan Nationia Guard and a battalion of Michigan naval re serves. After the military parade came a program of Indian sports, songs and dances, including foot and canoe races and a display of Indian handicraft by a band of Chippewas. Tomorrow the commemoration exer cises will be held and addresses will be made by President Peter White of the semi-centennial committee; Governor Warner, Vice President Fairbanks and a number of other prominent eruests Weather conditions were all that could be desired. The first appearance of the sun gave promise of a fine day for the street and naval parades. Late trains last night and today continued to bring hundreds of visitors. Excursions were run by the railroads and steamboats Drougnt a large number from the lake port. Canadians from nearby towns in tne dominion were well represented. The Canadian Soo was practicallv de serted, establishments there as well as over nere having closed. uecorations have been a feature of the celebration and today through the main streets were the national colors lound in festoons while a myriad candescent lights were strung about the thoroughfares for the Illumination at night. All the vessels in the harbor were likewise decorated. On the govern ment boats from the bow to the mast heads and down to the stern were flags hung in rainbow fashion. Crowds gath ered along the water front to witness the naval parade and steamers on the river were filled with spectators. The Procession. naries w. Fairbanks, the chief ppeaKer at tne semi-centennial exercises who is the first vice president the Soo iias naa a cnance to entertain, embark ed at 9 o'clock.

Above the lock when entering the United States vessels slowed down permitting the Ca nadian vessels to enter the Canadian lock to the north of the Poe. These vessels retained the lead of the column until crossing over to the United States b.u v,i uie river, wnen they dropped in to meir positions in the line, the revenue cutters taking the lead again.

Lpon his departure the Tuscarora fired eus tor the vice presi neni. governor Warner and his staff Wt the Morell also and boarded the Wolverine. As the Morell left it fired a governor's salute of 17 guns The fleet then steamed a short distance away while the Wolverine and the guns of Fort Brady fired salutes after which the procession disbanded. In the military parade, Charles T Harvey of Toronto, chief engineer of the Canal lock, was chief marshal In order, followed Major Robert Getty and staff; First U. S. infantry, Commander H. M. Morrell and staff, U. S. N., and First battalion of marines, and sailors constituting officers and crew of U. S. S. .Wolverine, eight companies of the Michigan National Guard, under Colonel Robert J.

Senator Burrows and state offi cers, officials connected with the canal and Invited guests. During the progress of the parade the vice president re ceived a cordial reception from the many persons who lined the streets. The parade passed in review before Mr. Fairbanks and the governor of Michigan on the water front of Old Fort Brady, after which it dispersed. History of the Enterprise. The Sault Ste Marie ship canal, the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of which was celebrated today, was com pleted by the state of Michigan in 1855. This ship channel, the connecting link between Lake Superior and the lower lakes, was transferred to the United States government in 1S70. Since the government took charge of the water way, vast improvements have been un dertaken, the canal having been widen ed and deepened several times. It is now considered the busiest of the world's artificial wateways. In 1888 the lock, erected by the state, was destroy-: ed by excavations for the present Poe lock which is the largest in the world. It is 800 feet long and 100 feet wide with a water depth of 22 feet on the sill?. The Witzel lock which was made nec essary by the increased traffic and is still In operation, is 515 feet long. The traffic by way of the Soo canals, American and Canadian, during 1904 was 32,000,000 net tons, 27,000,000 of which was through the American canal. The traffic of the Suez canal in 1904 was 12,000,000 net tons. This represent ed a large part of the commerce of Europe with Asia and some of that be tween the United States and Asia. The Soo canal has developed the vast mineral wealth of the Lake Superior region, and has furnished a cheap and convenient outlet for the transportation of grain, flour, and other products to the east and to Europe. It has helped to build up great industrial centers at Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo, has aid ed in making Pittsburg the greatest iron and steel center in the world and has contributed materially toward giving the United States primacy in the pro duction of iron, steel and copper. Another lock must be built and tne ship canal above the locks must be widened because of the great develop ment of the ore and grain traffic of the IM ortnw est. CAMPBELL SEES KELLY. Congressman Has a Long Visit With Treasurer. Congressman Phil Campbell is in town today. He says that he is here simply to visifhis acquaintances. He spent a portion of bis time calling on Treasurer Kelly. I don t know anything that would be of interest much." was his answer. "Down in our country the people de vote six weeks of each year to politics and the rest of the time to raising wheat, corn, cattle and making mon ey." 'What about the Garfield Investiga tion of the Standard Oil charges?" was asked. 'Mr. Garfield will make a report about the time that congress convenes again," said Congressman Campbell. Before that I do not expect to near anything from him. I have furnished him data from time to time. iis men lust left Kansas a short while ago. They had been here for several weeks look ing if matters, but were very quiet about it, as they always are. I have given him information from which he can deduce a whole lot of things, but just what he will do, I of course do not know." TWO COLLISIONS. Captain of Liner Forced to Choose a Vessel to Sink. New York, Aug. 2. Two collisions at sea, one of which snapped a pro peller blade, were reported by the steamship Minneapolis which arrived today from London. The first mishap occurred at a perilous point made around the Minneapolis by another liner, a tramp ship, and a fisher smack Saturday. July 22, in the English channel. Her commander, Captain Thomas F. Cates, said that his steam er was wedged so tightly in the trap that his only chance was which of the other ships to run down. He chose the fishing smack as the least danger ous and struck this boat a glancing blow which carried away parts of her rigging but did no other serious dam age. GOING AFTER BURTON. Colonel Mosby Is Kxpected to Investi gate His Chickasaw Dealings. Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 2. Colonel John S. Mosby, assistant attorney in the department of justice in Washing ton, now in Oklahoma investigating al leged frauds in the management of estates of Indian minors by guardians, will go shortly to Ardmore, I. T-, where it is expected he will inquire into the connection of Senator J. RalDh Burton of Kansas with the Chickasaw tribal government. Burton was tribal attorney of the Chickasaws at one time. H. A. Allen, a special United States Indian agent, has arrived here to assist colonel Mosby. TREES FELL ON THEH1. Wind Storm Causes Loss of Life In Louisiana. Beaumont, Tex,. Aug. 2. Word has reached here that one white boy and two negroes were killed outright and lyvcuLy omer persons were more or less seriously injured in a heavv wind storm which struck Bessmay, La. The town is situated in a forest of pine iimDer, tne wind uprooting several trees which fell on houses killing and injuring occupants. Telegraph and telephone communi- caiion is prostrated. ANOTHER IS OUT. Mrs. Geo. W. Parkhurst Resigns From Washburn Faculty. Frank H. Foster Discusses Kes ignation of Prof. Penny. THAT BIG PIPE ORGAJf. Imperative to Have Some One to Play It. Would Make Him Official Munic ipal Organist. Mrs. George W. Parkhurst announc ed her resignation from the faculty of the Washburn school of fine arts today. "The removal of Prof. Penny from Topeka would mean a material loss to the musical life of the city and cer tainly a great handicap to the pipe or gan association," said Frank H. Foster, president of the association. "I have known him intimately," he continued, "and know that he has the confidence and respect of the citizens of Topeka. It is a matter to be re gretted that a change was made in the music department at Washburn. It is only by some connection with some in stitution that we could hope to retain Prof. Penny in Topeka for it would be impossible for us to raise a salary suf- ficient to maintain him in the position of a municipal organist. Prof. Penny is a $2,000 or $3,000 man and the city is not big enough to raise such a fund. He would of necessity have to have some connection 'with an institution in order to make up sufficient returns to warrant him in remaining here. There are only two other municipal organs in the United States that I know of. The one is in Pittsburg, Pa., where they pay their organist a salary of $3,000 a year and the other is at Allegheny where the city pays their organist a salary of $300. Hje has connections with a num ber of musical institutions in the city which help to swell his salary up to something like $2,000. Prof. Penny pro bably could receive $300 by popular sub scription, another $500 from the Choral society and the remaining sum from his work as a teacher. However, that is problematical. We have a number of organists in Topeka but we have none of the ability or rank of Prof. Penny and the city would be absolutely with out any one who could take his place. There are numerous occasions when the organ at the Auditorium is called into use. At state club meetings, at sessions of -national scope, at lodge conventions, when a short organ programme, of superior-merit is a desirable part portion of the public exercises, the need of an organist, of rank is imperative. With the absence .of Mr. Penny we would have to give that up. We have no one here who can display the organ to its best advantage aside from him. "The pipe organ association cannot but help feel his loss. He contributed in a great measure to the suc cess of the association in secur ing the organ for Topeka. His en thusiasm never waned and was instru mental in making the undertaking the arreat success that it was. If he re turns to Topeka I known that the only reason that will induce him to return will be his connection ;with the organ and his interest in it. "Of course I cannot speak from my own knowledge concerning his abili ties as a musician and an organist. I am not sufficiently versed in the art to Judge, but I have the opinion oi others. Those who were sufficiently trained in music to act as judges, have told me that he is an organist who ranked fully with some of the best. As a man I have known him as a gen tleman something which has not been as true of his predecessors as directors of the choral societies in the city. There has not been the least taint of suspicion regarding his standing as a gentleman. He combined the tech nical training ot a musician witn mai of a college graduate; an unusual com bination. "You seldom find a musician wno has at the same time had a university training. He was graduated from Cor nell university. He had not only his subject as a musician but he had the training necessary -to taiK oi n in an interesting and comprehensive man ner. "I have been led to believe that he would return and certainly success should attend him in the founding of a school of music here, should he so decide." Mrs. George W. Parkhurst who has been assisting in the vocal department at Washburn college has severed her connection with the institution and will not teach this coming year. It is ex pected that Mrs. Scherubel, wife of the new director of music at Washburn, will assume a portion of the duties which Mrs. Parkuhrst formerly had. Mrs. Parkhurst in speaking of Prof. Penny's resignation said: "His loss will be certainly felt in Topeka. Prof. Penny's resignation came as a surprise to me. though I knew that he was con sidering it. I didn't however expect that he would resign now and thought that he certainly would remain and teach this year. There has been no one who has been so successful in se curing large musical attractions for us as Prof. Penny ana as to wnat it would mean to have an organist of his ability remove from the city I can simply state that to secure such a one is almost lm possible. I know we tried recently to secure an organist and we had a most difficult time. "We would have no one In the city capable of securing the best results from the Auditorium organ should he decide not to return. As for myself, I have decided not to return to Wash burn. There are a fine lot of students there, and I believe the possibilities of a great school of music, but the equip ment is not satisfactory. They chanced us from room to room as it suited them, and I know that this is one of the things which Prof. Penny was disappointed in. He worked hard to secure the department of music lo cated entirely in one building." Mr. James Moore, who is well known in local musical circles, said: "I believe Mr. Penny will return. Bat it certainly would be a loss if he should decide to remain away. I have become acquainted with the man, and grew to like him very much." Mrs. Frank H. Thomas: "Prof. Penny has done a great deal for the advancement of Topeka along musical lines. I am very sorry that he is likely 10 leave lopesa. II! HANDS JF MOB San Juan, P. II., Experiences a Reign of Terror. Armed Men Parade the Streets Defying the Police. DIG UP PAVIXG STOSES And Hurl Them at the Guard ians of the Peace. One Person Dead and 40 Injured in Hospitals. San Juan, P. R-, Aug. 2. As an outcome of the longshoremen's strike for an increase of wages to 25 cents an nour, wnicn nas oeen in progress for a month, the greater portion of San Juan was under control of a mob between 7 and 9 o'clock last night. The mob, in which there were about a thousand armed men, dug up paving blocks and stones and with these and other missiles rushed through the streets, fighting the police, who were armed with rifles and fired scores of shots, but mostly in the air. One person was killed and there are forty injured in" the hospitals, three or four of whom may die. At s o cicck wnue me main police force was engaged with the rioters, an other mob, mainly composed of young men and boys, threw stones at the arc lights in the mam Streets, with the re sult that nearly the entire citv was in total darkness all night. At 9 o'clock the mob sought refuge in a disreputable district in Tv-mcn mere were no police, This district, however, was surrounded by police and mounted squads patrolled the city for the remainder of the night. At midnight the police who numbered only 100 had the situation under con trol. Reinforcements are expected to day, ane rioting was preceded by in termittent disturbances whjch, however. were not serious. FORSAKES THE TRUST. Theatrical Manage Perley Goes Over to the Shuberts. New York, Aug. 2. Frank L Perley, the theatrical manager, has severed his connections with the syndicate and has cast his lot with the independents, join ing the Shuberts, David Belasco and Harrison Grey Fiske." In future Mr. Perley will book with the Shuberts in stead of through Klaw Erlanger. The announcement caused a great deal of surprise- in theatrical- circles last ev ening. Besides booking with the Shuberts Mr. Perley will be largely interested fin ancially in many of their enterprises, and he intends to greatly increase the field of his activity as a producer and to add no fewer than five companies to those already touring under his man agement. Mr. Perley has been among the fore most producing managers in America. Under his management such stars as the Bostonians, Fanny Davenport, Mme. Modjeska and Alice Neilson reached the height of their popularity. He has now a number of important enterprises. It is expected he will be a very valuable ally to the independents. He has been closely connected with Klaw Er langer, having had an active interest in several of their productions, and this fact gave additional interest to the an nouncement. At the office in the Knickerbocker Theater building yesterday Mr. Perley said that his action was not due to any quarrel with Klaw Erlanger, but that on the contrary he numbered them among his best friends. "Under present conditions," he said, "I feel that the best opportunities offer themselves for me in booking with the Shuberts. The difficulty in getting suitable time has restricted me greatly of late, but now I expect to be able to double the number ot my attractions. Lee Shubert. speaking for his firm, ex pressed satisfaction at having reached an agreement with Mr. feriey, wno is the first of the producing managers to cast his lot with the three who were originally arrayed against Klaw Er langer. Mr. Shubert announced last night that he would immediately begin the construction of a new theater for his firm in Kansas City. MR. BURTON'S MAN. Senator's Friend9 Would Have Hint Secretary Board of Control. The survivors of the Burton faction. comDosed of D. W. Mulvane of To- neka. T. T. Kellv and Frank Grimes, are insisting on the appointment of Colonel W. W. Smltn. senator Burton s private secretary, as secretary of board of control. This aDDointment is made by the board of control and is an important one because of its intimate association with the hoard of control. The secre tary will be an important official, for he will be actively in charge of affairs in the headauarters at the state house and may have something to say about the employment of help and the award of contracts. It is therefore in the minds of the Burvn people a good nlfice to control. The appointment will be made this week. NOW A VAGRANT. Former South American Treasury Of ficer Sent to the Work House. New York Aug. 2. Charles Rouxel, who said he had been a professor of belles lettres in a southern American university and evidently a man of re finement and culture, was sent to the workhouse for a month yesterday. Rouxel was picked up as a vagrant by a policeman in Madison Square park. Stranded in Honduras after touring the world subsequent to completing his education in Paris, the prisoner told "Magistrate Cornell that he became third keeper of the treasury in the South f American state. Later he was appoint ed to be chief of mathematics of the university. A change in the adminis tration caused him to flee the country and since that time he had been able to Sain only a precarious livelihood. 74 HAVOIED. New Orleans' Yellow Fever Rec ord to Date.

Total cases of yellow fever to noon, August 2, 347; total deaths to noon August 2, 74. New cases today, 1. Deaths today, 6. At Ship Island quarantine station in the gulf, off Mobile Bay, to date four cases (convalescent). Shreveport to date one case. Montgomery to date one case. Lumberton, Miss., to date one case. Westwego, La., to date two cases and one death. Algiers, La., to date one case. Sunrise, La., to date one case. Empire to date one case. Ostrica to date one case. Point Celeste to date one case. Vaccaro to date one case. The yellow fever' situation in the south is not so favorable today, high temperature and heavy rains in New Orleans,' the center of infection, not only producing unfavorable climatic conditions, but undoing much that has been accomplished in the last 24 hours in the way of oiling gutters, cisterns and ponds, and making it necessary for this work to be done over. Passengers and freight traffic on the roads in and out of New Orleans is practically paralyzed. All suburban service to coast towns was discon tinued a week ago and almost daily the roads have been dropping one or more trains until the service on most lines is at a minimum. There were no developments today in the controversy over the alleged invas ion of .Louisiana by Mississippi troops guarding the frontier except the an nouncement from Jackson that Gover nor "Vardaman had decided to go per sonally to the scene and investigate conditions for himself. The governor acted -upon receipt of a telegram of complaint from Governor Blanchard. Many Refugees. The detention camps on the roads outside New Orleans are filled withi refugees. The contention camp on the ijouisvnie and Nashville was fixed to day, arrangements being finally mads to nave tne station located between Louisiana and Mississippi on the line. All trains carry armed guards, and train inspections extends as far north as Cairo, 111. Mobile has tightened its protective cordon and has ordered in addition to disinfection, a detention of five days for all boats coming from central ano soutn American ports. Texarkana, on the line between Ar kansas and Texas has ordered a discon tinuance of all trains between Shreve port, where a case appeared last night, and Texarkana. Arkansas as well as Mississippi is using Its militiamen as quarantine offi cers and has stationed them at points to prevent the landing of people from infected districts. Shotgun quarantines prevail i'.i many parts of the far south, this emphatic manner of stopping refugees having been in operation near Vicksburg for about a week. Navy Ordered Out. New Orleans, Aug. 2. Governor Blanchard today issued orders to Cap tain J. W. Bostick, in command of the naval reserves, to proceed with a suffi cient force to Lake Borgne canal and adopt measures for the protection of Louisiana fishermen, citizens and boat men. The oyster commission has been instructed to turn over- the oyster fleet to Captain Bostick, for service in this matter and the naval commander has instructions to add by charter or im pressment whatever boats he deems desirable for his mission. Governor Blanchard's action is based on the telegrams received today showing that the Mississippi quaran tine officers are reported to be employ ing high handed measures and inter fering with Louisiana citizens. Captain Bostick today made a re port by wire that armed MIssissippians had been crossing the line, that Missis sippi launches had been interfering with traffic in Lake Pontchartrain and capturing schooners; that they have stopped fishing in Lake Borgne; that traffic in Lake Borgne has been inter rupted. Tanlaman Goes to Investigate. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 2. Governor Vard aman left here today for the gulf coast to make a rigid investigation of the com plaint from Governor Blanchard of Lou isiana that Mississippi troops have in vaded Louisiana territory and are patroll ing near Rigoletes. Governor Vardaman declined to make any statement in ad vance of his investisation. IT WAS RUN OR DIE. Frisco Broker in Honduras With $100, 000 of .Client's Money. San Francisco, Aug. 2. Allan How ard, for years a business man of this city, devoting himself chiefly to the loaning of money, is an absconder. He hurried to Honduras several days ago from New Orleans. He took with him all the money he could rake together from the various investments of his clients, which is thought to have ap proximated $100,000. The news of his flight was received by his wife in a letter dated New Or leans, July 20, In which he said he would be in Honduras when it was re ceived. He added that it was either flight or suicide. It had been suspect ed for some time that his business af fairs were in. bad shape, and recently he was arrested by one of his clients on a charge of embezzlement. When Howard left this city he said he was going to several Interior towns to look after some .chattel mortgages. Maher's Fine Riding. London. Aug. 2.--Three firsts and a second were ridden by -Maher, the American jockey, in the first four races at Goodwood today. The races won in cluded the Goodwood plate in which Maher piloted Lord Derby's His Ma jesty to victory. THIS IS A MUGGY DAY. That Means You Can Not Be Com fortable. Try as Hard as You May. Today is another one of those close hot sticky muggy days which makes one feel out of tune witfj the whole universe, a day that Is really unfit for anything or anybody.

Serious Trouble Imminent Over YeUow Fever Situation. the New Orleans, Aug. 2. The relations between the states of Louisiana and Mississippi have reached an acute stage, and from indications it will change from interviews about the concealment of cases to a much more serious matter. From information that has come to hand the dignity of the state of Louisi ana has been offended by an armed in vasion from the sister state and Gover nor Blanchard communicated with the captain of the naval brigade, with a tally equipped gun boat with a view of having it dispatched to the borders to protect Louisiana citizens from further Indignities. Mississippi has five armed boats patrolling the coast to prevent fishermen from breaking through the quarantine line. These vessels are also assisted by the U. S. revenue cutter Winona,. Mississippi will not allow Louisiana fishermen to enter Mississippi sound east of St. Joe light, but from reports received here it appears that one of these patrol boats came into Lake Borgne, which is distinctly Louisi ana territory and one report says it came up to the mouth of Lake Borgne canal which extends from the lake to the Mississippi river, a distance of only four and a half miles. The naval bri gade vessel Stranger draws too much water for service in that vicinity but a light boat will be impressed Into servic armed with a howitzer or two and manned by officers from the brigade and will be sent out to prevent further aggressions. No Official Notification. Washington. Aug. 2. Surgeon Gen eral Wyman of the Marine hospital service said today tnat tie nad not received any official notification of the conflict between the state authorities of Louisiana and Mississippi over quar antine. He added: "The small boats that went Into Lake Borgne at the mouth of Lake Borgne inlet were probably under the state and local authorities of Misissip- pi. Surgeon Wasdm of the public health service is assisting in protecting the towns of the gulf coast of Missis sippi, in accordance with the request of the authorities of that state. He is using the revenue cutter Winona to notify vessels which carry rerugees from New Orleans that they cannot land at those places and that they have the option of either going back or of proceeding to Ship Island quar antine, where they can be held under observation and then given partique. The bureau declines to take over the small vessels of the state which have gone into the waters of Louisiana." MAY NOT LAST A WEEK. Wltte Thinks Japan's Price for Peace Will Ba Too High.

President Perham and his assistants began today with an at tempt to close all loose ends of th strike which was ordered last night, t counteract the lockout ordered by the. railroad officials. At strike headquar ters telegrams were received -by tha score from every point along the two systems from local unionists statins that every telegrapher to a man had. gone out and that a complete tieup was effected. On the other hand ani equal number of-telegrams were being sent out to heads of unions at varions points instructing them to set picket lines. "There Is nothing to say now except that we have a full fledged strike oa and that so far as our reports go every; man is out on both lines," said Mr' Perham today. "I ordered this strike after we tried all other ways of set tling our grievances against the rail road, and after they had locked out our men because they would not sign) impossible agreements. Another thin a? that made me call the strike was the statement of the general manager of me jrear, jNortnern, tnat 80 per cent of the men remained loyal to the road. That and the fact that about 400 non union men ware on their way from Kansas City to fill the vacancies on the Northern Pacific caused me to de cide to show them that they were wrong in their estimate as to the num ber of loyal men. Well, all our men are out and our advices are that the tieup is complete. The roads are not running any freight trains. They may be running passenger trains on time and I hope they will do so, as I do not want to. interrupt the travelers." When asked on what basis he would be willing to call off the strike, the leader: would only say: "We are in a. -peaceful and amicable mood and will be reasonable. If Mr, J. J. Hill will talk business and meet my proposition fairly we will settle. We have now 960 men out on the Great Northern and 1,100 on tne Northern Pacific." Trains Run Without Orders. Butte, Mont., Auir. 2. Train No. 6. known as the Burlington flyer, and running over the Northern Pacific tracks west of Billings, is reported to be tied up at-a point about 25 miles east of Butte, as a result of the strike. me North Coast Limited ran from Sil- -ver Bow to Butte without a clearance order but proceeded very slowly and reached here 15 minutes late. Twelve operators walked out in this city when tne oroer went into errect. Strike Is General. Helena. Mont.. Aug. 2. Dispatches from state points indicate that tha strike order was generally observed by telegraphers in the Northern Pa cific and Great Northern. In this city, which is a relay office, sixteen opera tors, including two wire chiefs and two operators in the yards, quit. All operators on the Montana Cen tral, about fifty altogether, went out. At Missoula the entire staff except two men quit work. Train No. 1 was brought into Missoula by handcar signals. The entire Rocky mountain division of the Northern Pacific is re ported tied up by the strike. On the Spokane division of the Great Northern and the Idaho division of the Northern Pacific all operator except dispatchers are out. The men claim the walkout is perfect, only ad mitting the man at Pasco on-the Northern Pacific, and claiming every. man on tne ureal jxortnern. Operating by Telephone. St. Paul. Aug. 2. Although a general strike was called by order of President Perham of the O. R. T. last nieht on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific sys tems, the officials say It has not inter fered with the running of passenger trains. General Manager Slade of the Great Northern said today that all trains had come in on time so far today and that no great Inconvenience had been felt. For a year past the railroads have been in stalling telephone systems for such an emergency, and by this means trains are being run with comparative satisfaction. President farliam claims tnat before th week ends 80 per cent of the OBeratora will be out, resulting in a complete tie up of the two big systems. Mr. Slade and Mr. Horn of the Northern Pacific said they were busy making a canvass of the sit uation and would have something to say later. DEAD IN THE RIVER.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TI)$?ESDAY EVENING, ATJGUST 2, 1905. THEY WON ONE. White Sox Trounce Guthrie at Last. Took Ten Innings to Decide the Game. CARTER WAS THE STAR Big Fellow Kept the Hits Scattered. II Was Also Given Consistent Support. Guthrie, Ok., Aug. 2. The White Sox truck bad place in their toboggan hoot here on Tuesday afternoon and actually won a game from the Guthrie Sena torsi It took ten innings before the wearers of the togas would give up, but they finally' surrendered the 'sword to, one Nicola Czarovitch Carter, who was "it." Behind the big fellow the White Legs put up a great quality of ball, and there was plenty of pulling out of bad holes. Though the "home guards" got nine hit off his curvolas, he kept them scat tered, with the result that but one run passed the" warming pan. The senators too played without er ror until the tenth inning, when Hickey fumbled a hot grounder, and Lasotte tacked on a single, giving the Kansas people the winning run of- the game. Reagan was not satisfactory. His umpiring was very poor. Neither side was satisfied with hte work. The score: GUTHRIE. Player AB. H. PO. A.

Bar for Rough Play on the Gridiron Is tip" Though. .New York, Aug. 2. Football coaches, officials' and olavers of the college game wy! now begin a study of mo -ua5ca Ul tne rUICO V. i 1111 wcic issued in book: "form today. These changes refer' more to a clearing up of me- rules m the minds of ofiicials than in the chaneinsr of the came as de manded by those calling for more open piay. Probably the first thing which catches the eye Is the new held mark ed checker-board fashion from end to end, with the. view of permitting the quarterback to run with the ball from any spot almost in the field, providing he runs five yards out from the center. Last year the qiaFter was limited in nis runs, from center to tne space within the twentyrflve yard lines. This is one concession to the open-game call. Another-which might be also considered as bearing on the open tactics is a ruling requiring a) referee to blow hi whistle the moment the ball is stopped. This ia to stop the fighting for the ball on the ground. The rule says the whistle must come the mo ment the forward oroerress of the ball is stepped and refers, it is thought, to the close-in scrimmage work rather than open field running, where a sprinter might be turned back mo mentarily. In the past the officials have given the runner every chance to work and set clear. Rule 6 is accented. It refers to the starting of meri intentionally to draw the opposing team-offside or into a falsely directed break. If tne snapper- back or center makes any motion as if to snap the ball !t Is in, play. This is an old rule. The opposing team charges on such motion. Now, if any player of the side with tne ban makes a false start with the view of drawing the other side off their balance the ball if snapped is ordered back and regard ed as not being In play and the same scrimmage begins over again. One Improvement which rererees will annreciate is a rule makine all substitutes report 'to- that official be fore thev can enter the tame. No olaver is nermitted to be out ox bounds when the ball is being put In play with the single exception of a man holding a place kick. This rules on a point which, once came up in an Iowa-Chicago game, when Knipe, tak intr advantage of an indefinite sen tence, lined his .men up exactly as 1f they were out in. the open, with half the line inside the Doraer ana tne other half outside.- Coachina: from the side lines Is punished by a ten-yara nne. une anxious captain is "how permitted to ask the linesman--the time left to play, at most three times in the last five minutes of each half.

Ted Sullivan, re cruiting agent of the National league, is in the city. Sullivan has just returned from a scouting trip in Southern league cities.

Ted Sullivan is known to all the fans as the author of "Stories of the Ball Field," a book which- has already gone through an edition of 60,000 volumes and which is still being sold at the local parks. Hart Mas Not Quit. Chicago, Aug. 2. -Jim Hart refused to be counted out as president of the. Chi cago National league club. In a recent interview he said: "I announced a week ago that Charles W. Murphy had been made vice president of the club and would relieve me from part of the bur den of responsibility, but after taking a short business trip out of the city I returned to find myself counted out. That is far from the facts. I am di recting the affairs of the club and shall continue to do so, certainly, for the bal ance of this year and perhaps next sea son if the price of. the stock is not forthcoming."

His wife is ill at Williamsport, Pa., and he proposes to stay there dur ing the rest of the season. Dolly Gray has joined Leavenworth. He is playing some good ball with the Woodpeckers, alias Convicts, too. From the Joplin Globe: The know ing ones predict that Catcher Stewart will last just about enough longer for VanderhiU to sprint from the -pest house to Cox park. And Van can go some, now. Stewart may be. pretty much of a disappointment, but what's the use of hammering away at him every minute of the game? He's down and out, any way, and the ex hibition of knoeking yesterday by the Joplin- grandstand was well nigh shameful. Springfield Leader: Westcott Is one of those pitchers who would be In the big league if some one could put the lid on him.

This was shift day for the American asso ciation and the managers took advant age of the opportunity to slip into Redland and Incidentally acauire some new timber.

In an ex tremely interesting match D. L. James won the finals .in the Missouri valley tennis tournament yesterday from Dr. Frank Shelden. Four sets were neces sary to decide. The scores were 6-3, 6-3, 0-8, 6-2. The championship matches of the tournament both in singles and doubles will be played this afternoon. In singles James will meet O. V. Vernon who now holds the championship, and in doubles Shelden and Vernon will attempt to wrest the championship from James and Jones. The match In singles will be played first. It will begin, promptly at 2t3 o'clock. For his defeat yesterday Sheldon can offer "no good excuse. He played as good a game as he is "capable of and was beaten simply because his oppo nent was his superior.- Several of his admirers asserted after the match that he had not shown the speed that had brought him a Quick victory in the contest with Jones the day before. This argument, however, is not a good one. Shelden did not lack speed, but he did lack the power to use it ad vantageously. Jones played the mid dle court continually while James' ma neuvers were directed from a position close to the net. Against this game the swift cross-fire which character izes the doctor's game was ineffective because of James' reach and agility. In the last set Shelden, evidently im pressed with the futility of trylpg to pass James at the net, began a lobbing game. But at this style also he was outplayed. James cannot lob any mora accurately than the doctor, but he can dispose of the high ones much more effectively, and succeeded yester day in placing the ball always just where the doctor happened not to be. AlthougTi the match was intensely interesting, it developed little that was spectacular. Both men played careful placing games, depending little oh hard, flashy strokes.- The summary of yesterday's play follows: FINALS IN SINGLES. James defeated Shelden, 6-3,' 6-3, 0-6, 6-2. CONSOLATION SINGLES. Campbell defeated Shouee, 6-1, 6-3. CONSOLATION DOUBLES. Smith and Putnam defeated Riley and Chandler, 6-2, 6-3. Baseball Notes. Hall Is proving a handy substitute for Brooklyn.

There are few in the league that would not strengthen the Superbas as they now line up.. Howard is belting the ball, with regu larity. Manager Clarke is not sorry that Clancy left, for it gave him an op portunity of rounding a better man.

He is credited with three sacrifice hits in a game at Chicago. The Philadelphia Athletics are uni versally regarded as a hard-hitting ag gregation, but there Is not a player on the team that has a .300 mark to chow for his efforts In the swatting line. Hall Is the only Brooklyn player bat ting above the coveted .300 mark. Lum ley follows with an average of .285. When their fielding is also taken into consideration, no wonder they are such consistent losers. Clay, who jumped from the Tri-State League to Louisville, is second in the American Association In hitting. In 43 games he has batted at a .381 clip. Pickering and Kerwin are also up with the leaders. Armbruster, who is catching for the Boston Americans, has made a surpris ingly good showing in the games in which he has been used. He leads the team in batting, with an average of .333 in seven contests. Frank de Haas Robison and his brother,- Stanley, owners of the St. Louis National League club, declare they would welcome a return to one big league with 12 clubs. So would Boston and Brooklyn, because all three are said to be losing money. Cycle Racing at Salt Lake. Salt Lake City, Aug. 2. W. E. Samuelson of Salt Lake defeated Iver Lawson of Buffalo, N.

When the first class battleship Kansas, the very youngest leviathan of the United States navy, slides down the ways to her first plunge into the waves at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding company August 12 she will be the first war ship in the navy whose launching party was not wined and dined. It will be so because Kansas is prohibi tion and because Governor Hoch is a total abstainer who practices what he preaches, who even attempted to pull off the christening of the sea monster without breaking the conventional champagne bottle. The shipbuilders have decided that it would not be good taste for them to set wine or liquor of any kind before Governor Hoch, his daughter, Miss Anna, the Kansas' sponsor, members of hi3 staff or any dry-throated pilgrims from the Sun flower state who will make up the en tourage. Not a cork will pop and only one lonesome bottle of wine will be given with the ticket of admission to the ceremonies, and it only to have its sweetness wasted on river and air as the sponsor breaks its neck upon the bow of the Kansas. The only temptation that will be set before Governor Hoch and party will be a tender of fine flavored cigars. The public will not be admitted to the launching. The only guests will be the members of the Kansas party, the secretary of the navy. League island navy yard officials and construction men from the various shipbuilding yards. Governor Hoch and his daugh ter will be guests of the shipbuilding company during their stay in the city. PUBLIC DEBT GROWS. Increased $12,182,229 During Month of July. Washington, Aug. 2. The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business July 31, 1905, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,002,049,001, which is an increase for the month of $12,182,229. This increase is largely accounted for by a corresponding decrease in the amount of cash on hand. The debt is recapitulated as follows: Interest bearing debt, $895,158,720; debt on which interest has ceased since ma turity, $1,264,735; debt bearing no in terest, $385,491,270; total, $1,281,914,731. This amount, however, does not include $993,726,969 in certificates and treasury notes outstanding which are offset by an equal amount of cash on hand held for their redemption. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold reserve, $150,000,000; trust funds, $993, 726.969; general fund, $151,034,009; in national bank depositories, $65,715,119; in treasury of Philippines, $3,972,621. Total. $1,364,449.01. against which there are demand liabilities outstanding amounting to $1,084,583,288, which leaves a cash balance on hand of $279,865,731. To Maintain the Parity. Washington, Aug. 2. Under the pro vision of the Philippine's currency act, the bureau of insular affairs of the war department is preparing to replace $3,000,000 of Fhilippine's temporary cer tificates of indebtedness falling due September 1 next to a new issue of one half that amount. The certificates are issued simply to maintain parity be tween gold and silver in the island cir culating medium. The new bonds or certificates will bear date of September 1 and are redeemable in one year, bear ing 4 per cent interest. Cumbaek Is Dead. Greensburg, Ind., Aug. 1.

Hundreds of Whistles Blew and People Cheered. Was Testing the Lines for the Final Flow. Rosedale. Kan., Aug. 2. Rosedale had its first experience with natural gas last night. Yesterday' afternoon a pipe thirty feet high was erected at Mill street and the Southwest boulevard ana connected with the natural gas flow line which is to supply Kansas City, Kan., in less than a week with gas from the fields in southern Kansas. A few minutes before 9 o'clock a ball of cot ton soaked in oil was lighted and thrown to the top of the pipe and the gas was turned on. With a roar a column of flame shot into the air to a height of 200 feet. A din of whistles from the mills and elevators greeted the pillar of fire and the people of Rosedale ran from every direction to see the cause of the alarm. A crowd of a thousand persons gather ed around the pipe and cheered and waved their hats as the tall column of flame swayed in the wind. The gas was allowed to burn for about half an hour. It could be plainly seen from many parts of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan. The light in the sky led many people to believe that there was a fire in Rose dale, as well as on the Southwest boule vard, and the telephone central was kept busy answering calls to know where the fire was. Rosedale will not have natural gas for use, however, as soon asr Kansas City, Kan. There has never been a gas company in Rosedale and before the city can use natural gas pipes must be laid. These pipes are now strung along the alleys and are being placed in trenches as fast as the men can work. In Kansas City, Kan., the mains are laid and as soon as the reducing station at the south end of the Fifth street bridge is tested gas can be turned into the mains. M. M. Sweetman, manager of the natural gas company, said last evening that gas might be turned into the mains tonight. Officials of the Wyan dotte Gas company stated yesterday that Monday would be the date set for the natural gas. Both companies are almost ready and Kansas City, Kan., will probably have gas by Monday at the furthest. 'The gas was burned more as a test. said Mr. Sweetman last evening, "than as a demonstration and we found ev erything to our satisfaction. The flow was strong and steady, we aia not wish to waste the gas so we lighted it." Passing of Village Blacksmith. Fort, Scott. Kan., Aug. 2. James Blair, known for forty years as the 'Village blacksmith." died today at his home, two and one-half miles north of town. He was 75 years old. Blair came to Bourbon county in 1859, and for a number of years ran the only blacksmith shop in soutneastern Kansas. He died on the claim he set tled when he first came to Kanass. t Have a Japanese Telegrapher. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 2. So far as known, this city has the only Japanese operator in the employ .of the West ern Union Telegraph company. He is Taka Suda, a young man who came to this country from Japan about four years ago. He began to study tele graphy at mgnt in tne omce nere ana has been added to the regular office force. Rabbits Cause a Snit. Ottawa, Kan.. Aug. 2. F.-H. Stan- nard, of the Ottawa Star nursery, has brought suit against the Kansas Nat ural Gas company for $836 damages, alleged to have been done by destroy ing a fence around one of his orchards and letting rabbits reach the young trees. The pipe line crosses the nursery grounds. Douglass Woman a Suicide. Kl Dorado, Kan., Aug. 2. Mrs. C. L. Shaff of Douglass committed suicide by shooting herself in the right temple with a revolver. The husband was in an adjoining room with their baby when he heard the shot. Rushing to his wife he found her dead, bhe was Ofe a. There are times when life seems a, burden when you are tired, worn-out, have dull pains in the head and a continual feeling of uneasiness. You have no appetite, and your di- gestion is poor your sleep broken, and you get no rest. Little annoyances seem great mountains of trouble, and you are blue, melancholy and given over to gloomy forebodings. This means low vitality ex hausted brain nerves. For this condition Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is a spe cific it is a food for the nerves. It builds up the nervous sys tem, and restores lost energy.

Mrs. Susan Mayhew, a full blood Cherokee free born Indian, is dead at ner home at the mouth of Snow creek.seven miles south east of here. She possibly was the old est person in the United States. Citi zens of this place and tne territory who have known of her for many years, vouch for the fact that she was born. as she asserted, in 1789. This would make her 116 years old at the time of her death. She declared, and persons who have known her family in Georgia, assert that it is true, that she carried butter milk to General Andrew Jackson's camp at New Orleans in the war of 1812. She was then a grown woman. She spoke often and interestingly of General Jack son as she remembered him. She was placed on the Cherokee roll about 1880. Her husband died 18 years ago. Mrs. Mayhew was buried on her ranch yes terday. LOOKS LIKE DOUBLE MURDER. Investigation of the Killing of WUUam liarroy Adds to Mystery. Ottawa. Kan., Aug. 2.

WTould Mean a Big Thing Indus tries in Indian Territory. OPEN UP RICH COUNTRY Project While Not Certain Is Much Talked Of. Gossip and Matters ot Interest in Bailroad Circles. Tulsa, I. T Aug. 2. The first real evidence that the Midland "Valley rail road company is at some distant date to become a part of the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe is given out In the statement made by C. N. Haskell that he has been commissioned to build a line for the trunk line between Mus kogee and South McAlester to connect the southwest terminus of the present track now operating to Tulsa. For some time the Midland Valley and the Santa Fe have had local station and terminal facilities in common, which has given rise to rumor that the smaller road had been absorbed by the larger. Mr. Haskell has made a proposition to South McAlester that for a bonus of $50,000 the line will be constructed into that city. Mr. Haskell has built several roads in the territory and his statements are generally accepted as being substantial. The Midland Valley Is operating be tween Skiatook, sixteen miles north of Tulsa, and Fort Smith, Ark., to the east, via Muskogee. An extension to the northwest to Arkansas City, with a line projected from there into "Wichita. Thp Santa F nnprfltAa Into fthe territory from the north, with terminals at Tulsa. By acquiring the Midland Valley, the trunk line would Immediately become a factor in the railroad situation of the territory, having an entrance into the Tulsa coal fields, the oil district, and being a short line to the timber districts of Arkansas and the southern states, it would have a short haul to cheap fuel for manufacturing in transit, and tap rich territory in every direction. While the Santa Fe has been a big fac tor in building up Oklahoma, it has little or nothing to do with tne development or Indian Territory. It was not until recent ly that its line was built to Tulsa and this is the only one owned by the Santa Fe now operating in the northern part of In dian Territory. The Katy, Missouri fa ciflo and Frisco now control the bulk of the business, which is growing greater each year, while the Choctaw branch of the Rock Island bisects the territory and is the great east ana west line. The Midland Valley was projected and is being built by Philadelphia capitalists, composing most ot the men wno duui tne Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf, which has since been purchased by the Rock Island. It is stated that the builders of the Mid land Valley Intend to make it a Denver New Orleans line. Should the Santa Fe purchase the road, and continue the pur pose, it would have to build only through a strip of Arkansas and the state of Lou isiana to accomplish that end and thus nave two outlets on the suit coast. LACK OF LABORERS. Western Roads Experiences More Trou ble With Men. Los Angeles, Aug. 2. Construction work on the new extensions of the Pacific Electric is being delayed through lack of Mexican laborers. It is now believed that it will be impos sible to open the Newport Beach line for two weeks at least, owing to tne difficulty in securing workmen. The Southern Paciflc is experiencing the same difficulty in securing labor ers for section hands. The dearth of laborers here is charged to the depre dations on this territory of contractors' agents from Arizona and Texas, who have been offering flattering induce ments to Mexicans from Los Angeles and vicinity to go out upon the new work there. The Southern Pacific endeavors to hold its Mexican laborers for a time at least by offering them free transporta tion back to their homes after they have completed six months service with the company. It is charged that the contractors agents are stealing the railroad Mex icans away on promise of free trans portation home, and a bonus of $10 for three months' work. The Southern Pacific reports more than 200 trackmen short on its south ern divisions, and the other railroads are feeling the scarcity of workmen in proportion. It is possible, owing to the difficulty of securing laborers from Mexico, that some section gangs of other nationalities may be put on sev eral of the western divisions of the coast lines. i TO RECEfVE PASSES. Old Employes of Southern Paciflc Are Given Annual Passes. To employes of long service the Southern Pacific will give annual passes, beginning August 1. The em ployes who will be benefited are train dispatchers, station agents, conductors and engineers. Those who have been in the service of tne road for over fifteen years will be given passes good over the divisions on which they are employed. These can be had both for the men and thefr wives. Those who have been over twenty years on the road will be given annual passes for themselves and the dependent mem bers of their families. New Santa Fe Elevator. The Santa Fe has just comcleted a new elevator at Turner-which it turned over to the Harris-Scotten company to operate. The new elevator is one of the most mod ern in the west and with the elevator at Argentine will enable the Santa Fe to etnve 1.5(10.000 bushels of wheat. In every respect the new elevator is a modern one and tne raptaity ot its con struction has been little short of marvel ous. The eround for the foundation was hmlfpn onlv a few months aeo. but ex tra gangs of men were kept constantly at work, for it was desired to have the ele vator finished to take care of this year's crop.

Each of these tanks is connected with the head house and elevator by a heavy pipe, through which the grain is forced, as it is needed. Besides the enormous storage facilities of this new elevator, it has the capacity for transferring loads from 100 cars. The old Santa Fe elevator has a capacity for only about 35, but with the two, the San ta Fe can care for 85 cars of grain. With tanks and headhouse the new elevator can take the produce of fully 1.600 cars and store this against shipment to the east or north. The new elevator was built by C. A. Fellows of Topeka. e MO. PAC. IMPROVEMENTS. Work Will Be Continued From Hois inston to Pueblo. Notwithstanding the fact that it was recently reported that the Missouri Pacific would suspend the laying of the new 85 pound steel rail between Hois ington, Kan., and Pueblo, part of which project has been completed, it is now announced that this work will be pushed forward in the near future. In substantiation of this announce ment the Missouri Pacific has Just placed an order for a total of 30,000 tons. The major portion of this order will be used on the line between Kan sas City and Pueblo. The lighter rail from Hoisington to Kansas City is to be taken up and the heavier rail laid In its place. The reason for suspending the work of finishing the laying of the heavy steel from Hoisington on, which has already been put down for several miles from that station, was at first thought to have been caused by a de sire of the officials to economize on improvement expenses until the end of the fiscal year. The reports for this period are compiled from July to July 1 of each year. As these statements have already been sent in work will be started immediately and the rails or dered will be rolled and delivered promptly. RIO GRANDE MEN WALK OUT. Claim That the Company Refused Their Schedule. An order was sent out yesterday by the joint protective board of the International Brotherhood of Main tenance of Way Employes to all the track and water service men on the Denver Rio Grande railroad to strike at 6 o'clock" this evening. The strike is ordered in consequence of the refusal on the part of the offi cials of the company to accept the schedule as made out by the brother hood or to submit the matter to arbi tration. It is stated that over 2,000 employes are affected by the strike order. THE M. K. T. SHOPS CERTAIN". Parsons Contracts With the "Katy" for Extensive Improvements. The citizens of Parsons have en tered into a contract with the Mis souri, Kansas Texas railway where by they agree to give to that road land valued at $150,000 on which the company can erect shops. The com pany agrees in turn to spend over $800,000 in the equipment and build ing of the proposed shops, and also gives to the city $65,000 on the pur chase price of the land. BALLAST ENTIRE SYSTEM.

HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal way during the summer may bate the paper mailed regularly eacb day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While trot of town the State Journal will be to yon like a daily letter from home. The department of agriculture is supposed to breed nitrogen germs and such things, instead of graft germs. In the meantime, we would like to inquire how Mr. Lawson is getting along with appointing a receiver for John D. Give Christian Science credit for this: It made a pensioner give tip twenty dollars a month, because he cannot now claim to be sick. It is quite likely that the boards of directors will, for a few months, really direct. They usually do this immedi ately following a striking object lesson. Bankers now have associations to insure themselves against loss by burglars, but what is really needed is some sort of insurance against rob bers inside the bank. If the things that have been sup pressed to aid in the selling of "Fads and Fancies" were all published in it. It would easily distance all of the "six best selling books" in popularity. Washington has just discovered that some unknown person has been stealing 30.000,000 gallons of water from it daily. Does Washington sus pect Wall street? No one else could have used that amount. Mrs. Piatt remarks that "Senator Piatt Is a great politician and he has always been very successful." Very likely she recalls how successful he was in winning her instead of capitu lating to Miss Mae Wood. If the Santa Fe officials considered everyone who asks them for a pass as dangerous they would have time to do nothing but dodge during their working hours, and they would prob ably have to work overtime at it. We may heave rocks at Secretary Wilson on account of the leaH in his bureau of statistics, but It is still a fact that he has made the department of agriculture most effective in the advancement of American agriculture. China has presented a little bill of 1100,000.000 to Japan and Russia as rent for land on which to do their fighting. To be sure China wasn't in possession of the land, but she doubt less figures that she would have been If Russia and' Japan had not been there. Judge Dana is getting credit from the press of the country for livinsr at Richland along with the braying donkey that refused to be suppressed. The press comments usually begin, "A Judge of Richland, Kas.," etc. Such is fame, "Methods, not men," was Governor Hoch's rallying cry during the boss buster campaign. He has doubtless discovered by this time that there is considerable connection between the two. For Instance, a thief is certain to use dishonest methods. Secretary Wilson declares that he does not Intend to resign. Paul Mor ton, you will remember, made a slm liar declaration early in the spring, but he seems to have been led to change his mind. It does not follow that Secretary Wilson will also do so. but it simply indicates that such a declaration does not always mean what it seems to. "Kansas," says the Omaha Bee, "announces that suit will be started against the bondsmen of Kelly to secure money lost In a failed bank. Nebraska records will show Kansas lawyers how to protect that suit as long as fees for them are in sight.' Don't worry, the Kansas lawyers will probably see that the matter isn't hurried any. It is gratifying, of course, to learn from the New Orleans health authori ties that there cannot possibly be an epidemic of yellow fever in that city. It reminds one of the story of the man who was arrested and locked up In Jail. He sent for an attorney and explained the case to him. "But they eannot possibly lock you up on such a charge," said the lawyer. "But they have locked me up," said the prisoner, "Governor Hoch looked over the list of wealthy men on Kelly's bond,' sojr the Abilene Reflector, "enough qualifying for (5,000 and up with such names as Mulvane, Henley, Stich, Carey, Case, Dugan, etc., to make 500,000, .and remarked that as he did not know the men very well he wanted a day to consider. What a credit man he would make for Mar shall Field Co.!" Very likely the governor had heard of Mulvane and Henley and a few more, but does the Reflector suppose he was intimate with Carey and Dugan? KELLY'S BONDS. In view of the public Interest in the bonds given by State Treasurer Kelly, the State Journal gives herewtlb the salient portions of both the old bond given by the Title Guaranty an8 Trust company of Scranton, Pa., and the new personal bond which Kelly has given. The old surety bond is as follows: "That we, T. T. Kelly as principal and the Title Guaranty and Trust com pany, of Scranton, Pa., a corporation duly incorporated under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania, as sureties, are held and firmly bound unto the state of Kansas in the penal sum of (500,000.00, to be paid to the said state, or its certain attorney, to which pay ment will and truly be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, personal represen tatives, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents, dated this 3rd day f January, 1905. "Whereas on the 8th day of Novem ber in the year 1804, the said T. T. Kelly was elected treasurer of the state of Kansas, the condition of the above obligation is such that if the above bonded T. T. Kelly shall faithfully dis charge his duties as state treasurer aforesaid and pay over and account for all moneys that may come into his hands by virtue of his office, then this obligation be void and of no effect. Otherwise, to be and remain in full force." The personal bond which Kelly has Just given is considerably longer. Omitting the preamble, it ia as fol lows: "Now, therefore, if the said above bounden T. T. Kelly shall well and truly perform the duties imposed upon him by said chapter (sec. 15, chap. 471, Kas. Laws, 1905), shall well and truly protect and care for the school funds of the state of Kansas and other funds and property of tne state com mitted to his care, and shall well and truly care for, protect and account for all securities, bonds and other prop erty of parties or persons depositing the same with the said state treasurer under the provisions of said act to secure deposits in state depositories designated by the board of treasury examiners, and shall deposit in said depositories all checks, drafts and cer tificates of deposit in compliance with section 7 of said act, and shall well and truly pay out and deliver such funds, securities, bonds and property only in accordance with the law, and shall well and truly, at the expiration of his term of office, pay over and de liver to his successor in office any, all and every of said funds, bonds, securi ties and other property lawfully com mitted to him and remaining in his charge, in strict conformity with the provisions of the statutes in such cases made and provided, then this obligation shall be void. Otherwise the same shall remain in full force and virtue." This bond also contains a proviso that the bond shall not be liable for any loss resulting from the First Na tional bank failure. THE DISMISSAL OF NEWLON. The Winfield Courier takes up the de fense of Dr. C. S. Newlon, superintend ent of the school for the feeble minded at Winfleld, who will be dismissed by the board of control of the charitable institutions. The principal charges against Dr. Newlon are that he sold a horse and buggy and a bookcase to the school. when the statutes prohibit anyone con. nected with a state Institution from be ing interested in any purchase or con tract made by it; that he drew money for a trip east on a voucher purport ing to be for another purpose; that he endorsed warrants made out to inmates of the school for work performed by them; and that he is addicted to drink ing. The Courier is a pronounced boss bus ter paper and therefore is by no means favorable to the old administration, but it makes a defense of Dr. Newlon that is strong in some particulars. It asserts that the $147.63 which he drew for his eastern trip was to reimburse him for the expense of visiting institutions in other states where he went to invest! gate methods of transferring inmates to other institutions. There was no ap propriation to cover a trip of this kind, and Dr. Newlon drew his voucher for expense "incident to the transfer of in mates to other Jurisdictions." This trip may have been perfectly legitimate, yet the voucher seems to have been deceptive, and it is doubtful if it is in the interest of good govern ment to countenance such an action. The horse and buggy and bookcase which were purchased from Dr. Newlon for the school, were, according to the Courier, worth all that was paid for them or more. There is no charge that the state was defrauded in any of these transactions, but the fact remains that the transaction was not strictly in ac cordance with law. The charge that he signed the names of inmates in the school to state war rants issued in payment for work done by them looks like a serious matter. although there is no intimation that there was graft connected with it. The Courier's defense is that the Inmates were not capable of caring for their money in any considerable sum and therefore the superintendent drew it and gave it to them as they needed it. The excuse given was that Dr. Newlon did not wish the warrants held up In the auditor's office, and therefore he signed them with the inmates' names in a hand different from his own. This does not look exactly right. It would open he avenue for grafting, even if Dr. New lon did not do it himself. One of the most serious charges is that of drunkenness. The Courier does not mention this. Dr. Newlon admits that he keeps liquor and drinks it, but denies that he is guilty of drunkenness. The state of Kansas cannot afford, however, to have a man who fises li quor to any extent in such a responsi ble position as the superfntendency of a large charitable institution. Dr. Newlon has a good reputation as a superintendent outside of these things, and there is no charge of grafting or of defrauding the state in them. It seems a pity that his record should not have been sufficiently straight to have al lowed him to remain at the head of the institution. But In these days, of graft and law-violation -the best procedure is to insist on a strict adherence to law and uprightness. THE BOND QUESTION. Some time ago a' representative of the Title Guaranty and Trust com pany, the Pennsylvania surety com pany that is on T. T. Kelly's bond for half a million dollars, was quoted as saying that his company is liable" only if Kelly has violated some. law; and that the company would contend that the deposit of 547,0"00 of state money in the First National bank was lawful and the surety company was therefore not liable for its loss. What basis there !s. for a claim of this kind ia not evident. So far as can be discovered there is nothing in the bond to warrant it. The only condition of the bond given by the surety company is that "T. T. Kelly shall faithfully discharge his duties as state treasurer aforesaid and pay over and account for all moneys that may come into his hands by virtue of his office." Of course Kelly has violated all sorts of laws, so that the surety company is liable for the shortage any way, but bonds are given to protect the assured not only against dishonesty and violations of the law, but also against any shortage whatsoever that may occur in any way. The bond given by the First Na tional bank was supposed to cover any drafts that were deposited in the bank for collection, but Kelly deposited in the bank, and left there for months, a sum far in excess of the bank's bond. Was this "faithfully discharg ing his duties?" The bond given by the bank seems to be regarded as practically worthless, so the liability for the (547,000 shortage appears to certainly fall on the Pennsylvania surety company to the extent of its 500,000 bond. A bond is supposed to absolutely protect the assured, yet here Is the state of Kansas, holding Kelly's bonds to the amount of a million dollars, and about to stamp its warrants "not paid for want of funds," because Kelly has lost or tied up more than half a mil lion dollars of state funds by deposit ing them contrary to law in a bank which has failed! How much better is Kelly's new bond than his old one? Suppose he should default? Suppose, for example, he takes a notion to use another two thousand dollars without warrant of law, as he did the two thousand appro priated to pay for a new aurety bond in case one were given What as surance has the state that It is any belter protected than it is on the money it has already -lost through Kelly's violation of the. law. If the depository law is faithfully fol lowed there will be no danger of Iosb by bank failure under that, for there is ample provision against it. Of course if Kelly remains in the treasury long the state has no assurance that the law will be faithfully followed, for he has a habit of doing as he pleases with the state's funds regardless of law. Under the new law before a bank can receive any deposits from the state it must deposit with the state, bonds, either of the United States or of the state of Kansas, or of some county or municipal ity in the state to an amount equal to the deposits which it may receive, and the state treasurer is prohibited from depositing in any bank more than the face value of the securities which the bank puts up. These securities, too, must be approved by the attorney gen eral as legal, and must have the in terest all paid up. Under this provision the state treas urer is released from liability for any loss resulting from the failure of a state depository, for these securities are sup posed to cover any such loss. This pro tects the state far better than any bond like Kelly gives could do. Of course the state would have suf fered no loss in the First National bank failure had Kelly obeyed the law in stead of breaking it. Had he obeyed the law he would have withdrawn the funds of the state as fast as they were col lected, and there would have been no large amount in the bank.- This, how ever, would have prevented Kelly's friend and bondsman, Mr. Devlin, from having the use of a half million dol lars and more of the state's money, and it would also have kept the state treas urer out of any rake-off or benefit there might be In It.

For the moment the most important feature of "the western idea" is the ten dency to guard more jealously the things that are peculiarly of state con cern; to revitalize constitutional func tions which have shadowed forth but dimly in recent years and to give sta bility and efficiency to state authority. Thus, the position of governor, decadent since the war and measurably weakened in prestige, will probably be restored to somewhat of Its former usefulness and glory. The mind will instinctively turn to Folk of Missouri, La Follette of Wis consin, Hoch of Kansas and Hanly of Indiana as types proving that the ex ecutive commission should do something more than certify the holder's fitness for a seat in the United States senate. A generation of U. S. senators could not have accomplished for these states the enduring good wrought for these governors. The essence of the lesson taught by these exemplars is that the means of accomplishing "the greatest good for the present number" lie within the purview of state authority. The blessing is twofold: (1) By arresting the drift toward Washington the pressure on the already overburdened federal de partments will be lessened and the cen tral government can devote its energies to such issues as lie more legitimately within its province; and (2) the study of those questions which lie within the state's demands will be stimulated and state government will be strengthened by a higher standard of efficiency in the public service.

The famous hunter and eruide of the northwest, Mr. W. H. Wright, tells in the Northwest number (August) "of me world's work, the story of his greatest battle with grizzly bears. After stalking a big bear for weeks he came on him and another on a side hill. The rest of the storv follows: After things were arranged to my lik ing i waited Tor a side shot at the large bear, and did not have long to wait. The animal was lookinsr over a choice bunch of berries when the de sired shot came, and I never looked through sights more carefully than when drawing a bead on that old bear. There was not much more than two Inches square of bear visible, seem ingly, when I pulled the trigger. As quickly as possible I turned to the otner Dear. He acted Just as I had ex pected he would, turned side on to ward me in order to see what bedlam had broken loose, and thus enabled me to send a slug of lead after him that caught him squarely in the shoulder. tie wilted in his tracks as the other had done. Not a yard did either of them move after being shot. Getting up to look over the situation. I heard a clawing and rolling of gravel in the next ravine. (Jlanclne about to see what caused the racket, to my Intense surprise, three more bears were seen tearing up the hill. Their retreat to the canon had been cut off. A mother bear and two half-grown cubs were making for the high divide as fast as they could. I dropped down with my eioows on my knees and took a nviner shot at the old one. She was not more than seventy-five yards away and must have been quite near when the battle opened. The shot caught her with a quartering rake forward that rolled her back into the gully. This. of course, stopped the cubs, and they fell to the next two shots. Five bears down in five shots and in as many minutes! No thought now of the long hours spent in the clump of firs or of the scaklngs I experienced In making the sneak through the wet grass and busnes. This was all forgotten in the surprise and completeness of the greatest single battle with grizzlies in which I was ever engaged. Forgot What Electricity Was. A Denver newspaper devotes a large space in an unavailing effort to answer a correspondent's question, "Does any body know what electricity is?" As somebody has observed, that reminds us of a story. There is now in Prineville, Ore., a lawyer who. some years ago, was a college student back east. One day in the classroom the subject of discussion was electricity." This student had read all he could find in his textbook about electricity, and considered himself primed for the occasion. The profes sor opened the ball with this direct question," flashed peremptorily at this particular student: "Mr. Blank, can you tell us what electricity is?" Mr. Blank squirmed in his seat. hemmed and hawed for a time, and fin ally admitted: "I did know, professor, but I've for gotten." The professor gazed at the student with an expression of unspeakable sor row. Then he said sadly: "Mr. Blank, you do not know what you have done. Alas, what a sad loss to science! You are the only man that ever lived who has known what elec tricity is and you have forgotten." Portland Oregonian. Whale Cut in Two. A frolicsome young whale was ob served skylarking in midocean on Wednesday afternoon in the course of the American liner Philadelphia, in last night from Southampton and Cherbourg. The whale apparently was unfamiliar with the habits of liners that travel on schedule, and he spouted and waved his flukes as if the ocean were his back yard. The outlook in the Philadelphia's crownest and the oriicers on the bridge kept an eye on the whale, which seemed oblivious to the Philadelphia's approach. He did not signal whether he would go to port or starboard, and the Philadelphia kept right on. So did the whale. He found out too late to alter his course that it might have been been wiser to give the right of way to the liner. As he turned at right angles with the liner her stem cut him in halves as cleanly as a carving knife might divde a hrkin of butter. The bow end of him gasped a bit and his flukes were tremulous awhile. Nobody except the officers and the lookouts knew anything about the tragedy, as it made no impression whatever on the ship. A paragraph in the wireless paper contained for most of the passengers the first information that a whale had been killed. New York Sun. Facts About Lewis and Clark Country. The old "Oregon country" includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho and a small portion of Montana and Wyoming. The state of Washington alone is larger than the New England states, to gether with the state of Delaware and the District of Columbia. Oregon is larger than New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey together. The "Oregon country" is equal in ex tent to the 13 original states of the un ion, which now support a population of more than 30,000,000 inhabitants. The New England states, together with New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, had a population of 21,231,450 in 1900, while Washington and Oregon together had but 931,639. The combined area of England, Scot land, Ireland, Wales, Denmark, Hol land and Belgium is 4,000 square miles less than the area of Washington and Oregon, and these countries have a pop ulation of more than 50.000,000. France and Germany have each an area just abont two thirds as great as the old "Oregon country," and they support populations of 40,000,000 and 50,- 000,000 respectively. The August World's Werk. Hot Bed for Chickens. Last year I raised five hundred chickens, hatching them with hens, taking them away from the hens and brooding them in an abandoned hot bed, says a writer in the August Coun try Life in America. Did you ever hear of making a brooder of a hot bed? No? Neither did I until I tried It last spring, and I can truly say that I never raised finer chickens than those who passed their early life in the famous hotbed. I say "famous," for people came from all around to see it. They came to laugh, but they re mained to say, "Well, I never!" THE EVENING STOR Y A Modern Duel. Surgeon Schuler and Lieutenant Wright were rivals for the hand of the colonel's daughter. Schuler was a close student of the germ theory and in high favor with the colonel. As to the daughter, she preferred the fight- ing arm of the service, though she really liked Schuler. Thla irritated Wright, who called Schuler a germ eradicating soldier. Schuler retorted that he could kill more men with germs than a whole army could kill with ammunition. One reply led to another till the doctor referred to offi cers of the line as unscientific butch ers, whereupon Wright declared that he had insulted the service. Wright withdrew and sent Schuler a chal lenge. Since the challenger would be on duty as officer of the guard the next day, the meeting was to come off the next day but one. In the moraine: the colonel was sit ting at breakfast with his family when the officer of the day entered. woionei, ne saia. "i deem it my duty to report that a challenge has passed between Lieutenant Wright and Surgeon Schuler." "The dickens you say. We'll see about that. Go report them both under arrest," said the colonel. The officer was about to withdraw when the colonel, catching a glance from his daughter Alma, added: "Never mind the arrest, captain. I'll send you orders during the morning." Alter breakiast rather and daughter held a consultation in the library. .fapa," said Alma, "won t you let them light? I know it's all about me. and it would be so nice to be fought over. "You little goose, do you suppose I'm going to permit such a breach of dis cipline simply to gratify your whim?" "But I'd like to see if Dr. Schuler will fight. Somehow I can't think a bug hunter can have any pluck." "Ah! That's the rub, is it? Well, I'll think it over and see if I can find a way to give him a chance without in- Jury to the service. Now, run along. little girl." Guard mounting was barely over when the officer of the day received a note from the hands of the colonel's orderly. The officer at once transmitted an order It contained to Surgeon Schuler. Schuler read the order and immediately proceed ed to his laboratory to obey it. He re mained there an hour. The work assign ed him could have been done in much less time, but he was ordered to use great care. Retreat was sounding when the colo nel's orderly stepped up to Lieutenant Wright and handed him an order to re port in person at the colonel's quarters. The same orderly then went to Sur geon Schuler and handed him a similar order, at the same time instructing him to take with him the articles he had been ordered to prepare. When he reached headquarters he found Lieuten ant Wright waiting in the colonel's office while the colonel was pacing back and forth with a storm cloud on his brow. Neither of the young men knew It, but Alma had her eye at a peephole. As soon as Schuler entered the colon?l sat down behind his desk. "I understand," he said, "that you young gentlemen, having no enemy to shoot, are going to shoot each other. Dueling is not permitted in our service, and I can't allow any such breach of discipline. Nevertheless I am willing that you should both have an oppor tunity to show your mettle, provided it can "be done without attracting the attention of the command. I under stand that you, Mr. Wright, consider yourself aggrieved and have challenged Dr. Schuler?" Wright bowed an assent. "And you, doctor; have you ac cepted "I have," said the doctor. "Very well. You, being the chal lenged party, have a right to a choice of weapons. I will choose for you. Have you executed the order I sent you this morning?" "I have, colonel," he replied won deringly, and, unrolling a paper, he displayed the sausages, laying them on the table. "These, gentlemen," said the colonel, "are your weapons. One of them is loaded with trichinae germs, the other is perfectly healthy meat, Mr. Wright, you, being ignorant of which is the in fected sausage, have first choice; the other will remain for your antagonist. At a given signal from me each will proceed to eat his sausage. Mr. Wright, you may draw." Wright picked up a sausage. Schu ler turned pale. "Dr. Schuler," said the colonel, "take your weapon." Schuler reached for the sausage and took it up gingerly. "Gentlemen, proceed." Both raised their sausages to their lips, but before either had bitten a whirlwind of white muslin stormed into the room, and Alma Kend11, rushing up to Dr. Schuler, seized his sausage and threw it out of the win dow. "Gentlemen," said the colonel, "you are both brave men, and, having proved your courage, it is not neces sary that you should fight. I trust I shall hear no more of this affair. You may withdraw." "I have no further cause for quarrel with Dr. Schuler," said Wright, "and I must congratulate him upon having received evidence of the tender solici tude of Miss Kendall." "It Is 'Hobson's choice,' said the girl, pouting. "Either a germ eradi cator' or an 'unscientific butcher.' Both men hung their heads and withdrew without further comment, A week later the engagement of Sur geon Schuler and Alma Kendall was announced by a general order from the young lady's mother. WENDELL C. McLAIN. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.J If at first you don't succeed, don't suc cumb. It's the cheerful clock that always has a sood time. Most men are soon forgotten when they are dead, and a lot of them long before. The spinster is generally willing to ac cept an apology, even an apology for a man. The men who don't swear themselves generally inspire the most profanity in others. No, Maude, dear; a colored football plaver is not necessarily a blackguard. He might play tackle, you know.

If the girls could be brought to a real ization that a No. 2 foot looks like a No. 9 in a white shoe, would that make any dif ference? It is strange how a man's duty appears so plain to you, and how he looks right at it, and has such poor eyesight he can't see it. There was at least one good thins about S the days when Adam and Eve lived in a f garden: there wasn't such a thing as a see-more shirtwaist. Most of the new novels are about the marriage question, but people go on mar rying, quarreling and making the best of it in the same old way. Perhaps this is one reason why some preachers scold: They catch sight of their wives In the audience, and forget any -one else is present. We hope to be pardoned for mixing slang with history, but research will show that she is always more fatally sure to get hers than he is to get bis. A man may be bad, but when his wife upon discovering it, goes around and talks of his "feet of clay," every one thinks per haps he had provocation. They say we pass this way but once, but any old man in the dreary monotony of his life can prove that he has passed the same way hundreds of times. There are those who boast that they are not afraid of anything in the world who have never seen anything loose and unchained any larger than a mouse, i If there is a jewel added to one's crown In heaven for every good deed, the women will just naturally have to turn their crowns over to their husbands, lacking the strength to wear them. The discovery that a man who has al- ways been retarded as homely, is really good looking, is usually followed by the recollection that he is a widower. Have you noticed with any degree of alarm that there seem to be no young wo men these days with ambition to save money to buy sewing machines? You can follow directions in making a cake or cutting out a shirt, but there are no directions that can be followed success fully in managing a man. Somehow ha is not like a cake or a snirt. If a man saw another man's wife with another man, he would not tell her hus- i band. But we heard a woman say to an- V other one in public: "I saw your husband out driving with another woman." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.l It often happens that a good talker is a poor thinker. About the only thing sold in a selling race is the cublic. Logic proves or disproves all things but it accomplishes none. A spendthrift gets tight occasionally, but a miser is always tight. It's better to smile and be a villain than never to have smNed at all. Sometimes the race is to the swift, but more often it is to the bookmaker. Summer eirls are again vowing eternal fidelity until th end of the season. It Is easier to get a wise man to give ad vice than it is to get a fool to take it. A man in Kansas recently eloped with his mother-in-law, and Kansas is a prohi bition state, too. Our idea of a true heroine Is a married woman who doesn't say that she wishes she had remained single. Of course, a newly married man thinks he has a boss wife and a few months later he is absolutely sure of it. A woman may shut her eyes to the truth about herself, but she never turns a deaf ear to the truth about her neighbors. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR, From the New York Press.J It's a funny thing that no one ever saw a girl out driving with a one-armed man. A woman thinks she has a good appetite when she wants to eat corn on the cob and vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate sauce. T The man who invented pianos for chil dren to practice on over your head in a flat must get deeper into purgatory every year he stays there. It makes a woman awful proud of her good Influence to think that her husband has gone to the races and lost and then to find out he was only playing poker and won. When a man sits at a girl's feet under a tree and plavs a banjo to her she thinks that is the way they would go on doing after they were married and had seven children.

C, brings out the fact that a reliable concern known as the Western Nitro-Culture company, is being organized in this city to en gage in the growing of nitro cultures for commercial purposes. R". B. Welch, a well known lawyer, and B. H. Pugh, a scientific farmer, potato shipper and manufacturer of machinery are the pro prietors of a plant which will grow and distribute through the mails the bac teria for the inoculation of the seeds of all leguminous plants such as alfalfa, the clovers and peas. The experiments carried on by the government in all the states during the past year have demonstrated that in- USE 0NLY oculated seeds produce from 50 to 100 per cent larger crops than the uninocu lated. Dr. Greenfield, the bacteriologist of the Kansas state board of health, sup erintends the growth of all pure cultures from which the commercial products are made. The formula invented by Dr. Moore and patented by the United States government for the benefit of the people, is technically followed. TAGGART CASE BEGINS.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 2. Attorney General Moody, who came here yesterday to visit President Roosevelt, left today for Wash ington. Mr. Moody discussed with the president a variety of topics. The declina tion of W. W. Cotton to accept the ap pointment of district judge for the district of Oregon was taken up, but no agree ment was reached. Judge Cotton did not qualify after his appointment, simply indicating to the pres ident that on account of private business arrangements, he found himself unable to accept the tender of the office. Mr. Moody said he and the president considered in a general discussion of the laws bearing on prosecutions in the U. S. courts, the necessity for amendments to tne criminal laws. They agreed, he said that congress ouKht to make certain amendments to existing statutes as the laws under which the courts are now operating render it often difficult to reach a man who may be guilty of wrong doing. As an illustration Mr. Moody said it was far more difficult to take a man from one U. S. court's jurisdiction to another than it is for the state of Maine to get a crim inal wanted trom tne state o California, MANIA OF THEFT. That Is What Keeps Vp Rolls in Kan sas Prison.' The report just received in Governor Hoch's office from the warden of the Kan sas state penitentiary shows strikingly the fact which may be deduced from any record of criminology, that robbery, bur glary, larceny, forgery and embezzlement, practically identical to each other, send the majority of crisoners to nenitentiaries The report in question is for the month of July. During that time 30 arisoners were received in that institution and 40 discharged. Seven of those received and eighteen of those released were Oklahoma prisoners kept by Kansas under contract. Of the 30 received 23 were sentenced for robbery, burelarv. larceny, forgery and embezzlement, and of the 40 released 30 were convicted of the same offenses. This is a striking feature that can, however, be resolved from almost any table of criminology. The mania of theft aDDar ently tills up at least three-fourths of the cells in state prisons.

The new ordinance providing for the office of city electrician and the inspec tion of all electrical construction and wiring done in the city was submitted for approval by City Attorney Dren ning to representatives from the Inde pendent Electrical Construction com pany, the Jordan Electrical Construc tion company, the Overton Manufactur ing company, C. E. Eldridge of the Kansas Fire Insurance Inspection bu reau, Councilmew Simms and Holliday and Fire Marshal Wilmarth, at a meet ing held last night. In the main the ordinance met with the approval of those present. A num ber of changes were recommended and these will be included in the ordinance when it is presented to the council for passage Monday evening. Upon the rec ommendation of the construction com panies it was decided that all line men and electricians employed in the city shall be compelled to pass an examina tion by an examining board which shall consist of the city electrician and two others who have not yet been designa ted. The examination will be based on the code of requirements laid down by the insurance companies. After having passed this examination the electricians and linemen will be compelled to pay a certain stated fee. The amount of this fee has not yet been determined upon. "It will bring up wards of $500 a year into the city treas ury," said the city attorney speaking with reference to the amount that the fees would return. "The proceeds from the whole inspec tion should bring close to $3,000 a year into the city," he continued. "Mr. Maun sell told me that it would take the at tention of one man's time entirely and that he would be compelled to have the assistance of another man during per iods of rush. He assured me that it would be self-sustaining and I believe it will. There are upwards of 1,250 jobs of electrical construction to be done an nually in this city and these would bring in considerable revenue. With the fees ana the addition or a tax upon the insurance companies the city should be able to get out enough from it to make it more than pay. believe that these insurance companies should be made to bear part of the burden. They are benefited by it. It reduces the risk for them and they should bear the burden like the rest. We have had a number of changes In troduced in the ordinance since it was first drawn up. We make it possible for the fire' marshal to condemn and tear out certain old wiring where It is found to be dangerous and liable to give rise to a fire. The rates met the approval of those "who attended the meeting last night. Tne only aamtion they made to these was where one or two droD lierhts are put in. The in spection rate for this has been placed at 2 5 cents. I believe that temporarily at least we will have to have a number of in spectors. The opinion expressed by those who were there was that two men should be regularly employed ereater part of the time. That the city electrician be employed the year around and that an assistant be ap pointed to assist during the busier periods." Councilman William Green has sug gested that a new city department be created to be known as the inspection department, under which head all the inspection of electrical wiring, plumb ing and meters would be placed, "in? Dlan has not vet been crystalized by me," said he. "But the thought has come to me as one of the ways of get ting out of the difficulty. I believe that it would be possible to place practical and scientific man at the head of such a department and place these insDections in his charge. should think that it would be possible to get some cheaper man than we now have to do the plumbing and still an other to look after the electrical in spection. Of course I haven't looked into the matter yet but that's the way it has impressed me." The plumbers, however, claim that it is not possible to get a good man under from $1,000 to $900 a year. The city now pays $1,000. "Any plumber can earn $4 a day now without any effort," said one plum ber, "and he would be foolish to take" a job as inspector at $50 or $60 a month. You can't get a good man for that price, you can't get any one that knows any thing about the trade." "There is going to be plenty of work for inspectors when they start to put in this natural gas and when we have passed this ordinance calling for the inspection of all the plumbing before it is turned on," remarked City Attorney Drenning. "It will at le'ast take' from four to five men during that season for there will be thousands of connections and pieces of plumbing work which will have to be inspected, and that in a hurry, too, because the ordinance will provide that all plumbing must be in spected before the natural gas can be turned on. If the inspection is not made an explosion is apt to occur from the presence of a leak. Of course the em ployment of inspectors for thiE plumbing will be only temporary." Chas. E. Eldridge when asked if there was any chance that the insurance rates would probably be reduced in consequence of the establishment of this office of electrical inspector said: "Re ductions are being made rgiht along where imperfections in the wiring are being eliminated. Whenever that occurs we always make a reduction in the risk. We point out the places where such im perfections exist and recommend that they be remedied. We cannot make any reduction in the rates simply on account of the establishment of the office of a city electrician however." The ordinance providing for the in spection of meters, electrical, water, gas and steam heat, has been prepared. The ordinance provides that a deposit of $1 be made by the individual asking for an inspection of his meter. If the meter reads faster than 2 per cent the $1 is returned and the cost of the in spection, one dollar, is paid by the com pany. If it does not exceed 2 per cent the $1 is forfeited by the consumer. In testing arc lamp ft they are found to consume more than 550 watts per hour the electric light company owning the lamp is forced to make a repair in same. No arc lamp must register in excess of 525 watts per hour. For all arc tests the consumer shall pay to the city treasurer the sura of $1 per hour special """""""v TTft Cut Prices &fet&(Hl in Shoes People sending items to this department oi the Btata Journal will confer a um by giving the full first name or two initials, with all proper names.

Iowa Falls, la., Aug. 2. The gospel of good dairying is to be spread over Iowa by a series of special trains, tha first of which will be run over the Chicago Great Western this week. These specials will have on board men who have made a study of the dairy industry from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and other states. The object will be to demonstrate to farmers along the routes traversed by these specials the essentials of good dairy ing. The latest methods in modern dairy operations will be demonstrated and the farmers will be urged to cul tivate the industry by increasing the milk production, the use of separators and the shipment of cream to central station creamery plants. In the train will be a demonstration Car equipped with separators and other up-to-date devices for handling dairy products.

Deputy Marshal Lamberson of the city court arrested Doc Manson and of breaking into a Rock Island freight of braeking into a Rock Island freight car and stealing a five gallon can of lard. The car was broken into on this side of the river and the lard was ta ken to the north side in a boat. Young Beverley Manson, an eleven year old boy, was arrested for having rowed the party across. He will be turned over to the truancy officer. The plunder was found at the home of Joshua Burk where it had been taken by Manson, who claimed that he had found it along side of the railroad track. Mansou has caused the officers no end of trouble for a number of years, but for some reason they have never been able to land him before, with the goods on him. They are confident that this time they have him and that they will soon have him on his road to the penitentiary. Liquor Sales at Rossvilic. G. P..

6 THE TOPEKA: STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1905. V VAIL GETS IT. Wichita Jeweler and His Pull (Jet the Plum. TT111 Furnish Silrer Service for the Kansas. IT WILL COST $4,800. Weight of the 35 Pieces to Be 2,000 Ounces. Punch Bowl Is Included in the List. The contract for the furnishing of the silver service for the battleship Kansas was carried oft by Kd Vail, of Wichita. After inspecting all the bids, the governor and his council, which tie called in to help him, selected the one presented by the man from the Windy City. It contains 35 pieces, and will cost $4,800. Upon its com pletion it will be shipped to Topeka and exhibited in the state house for a time. Then it will be displayed in Tail's store at Wichita, from which place it will be forwarded to the bat tleship Kansas. The service will, weigh about 2,000 ounces when completed. It will be one of the finest in the navy. Mr. "Vail made a special trip to the seaboard to talk with naval -officers and find out from them Just exactly what they deem the most appropriate. He got their views before he submitted his bid, and yesterday he told the gov ernor about some of the information which he had obtained. The service will contain the follow ing pieces. Punch bowl, with base, twelve cups and ladle. Four bonbon dishes. Two five-branch candelabra. Tea service, consisting of coffee, tea, sugar and creamer. One large waiter for the tea service, embossed with a picture of the state capitol. Two covered vegetable dishes. One large meat diBh. One large fish dish. One entre dish. Soup tureen. Water pitcher and tray. Mahogany cigar box, trimmed with ilver. It will be noticed that a punch bowl Is included in the list of pieces. Gov ernor Hoch did not shy at the intro duction of this piece in the set. "I have no objections to a punch bowl," he said when some of the state officers jollied him about it. "Every one of the sets has a punch bowl. It seems to be the greatest of all the designs and I must say that it is very beauti ful. All of this work is great. It is very, very beautiful indeed. I only wish I knew more about it than I do." Right after 1 o'clock the display began. Six different bidders were present: Tiffany, of New York; the Gorham Manufacturing company, of New York, reprsented by Ed Vail, of Wichita; the International Silverware company, of New York; Caldwell Co., of Philadelphia; Mermod Jac card, of St. Louis; Charles E. Wardin, of Topeka. They ranged their water color drawings of the designs about three of the rooms in the governor's private office, until the place looked like the Manual Training school on visitor's day in the' drawing depart ments. The governor started to look them all over, and then sent for his different state officers, who came and helped. Only one of the bidders offered many small pieces. All the rest offer ed simply a few large designs. Naval officers say that visitors on board of the ships carry away small pieces like apoons, knives, forks, cigar holders and such things as souvenirs. Mermod Jaccard was the only firm which ex hibited a full line. They offered 240 pieces to their set. The designs which were accepted will be on exhibition in the governor's office for a few days where people may aee them. They will then be sent back to the factory where the set will be made. It may be a year before they are completed. "I cannot tell when the set will be done," said Mr. Vail. "There is no hurry about making it, because the battleship, though launch ed next week, will not be readv for it for still a year, about which time I understand the vessel is to be ready for service.". While Governor Hoch was busy de termining on the set which was to be accepted yesterday afternoon, a tele gram from the Galveston Commercial club was handed him. asking that the service be presented to the battleship at that point. The matter will, how ever not be settled for some time yet. Mr. Vail and his company may have to wait a year for their money. He will get a voucher for the amount as ejuickly as the set is delivered. Aud itor Wells has announced that he would refuse to approve the voucher because of the obscurity of the law. in that it did not specify what officer shall draw the money. None of the bidders were worried on that point, however. All of them were willing to take their chances. DR. KOCH ACQUITTED. He Has Been on Trial for Murder Three Times. Mankato, Minn., Aug. 2.

Three Youths of 17, 18 and 20 Must Serve Life Terms. Chicago, Aug. 2. Life sentences were imposed by Judge Albert S. Barnes to day upon three youthful holdup men, who pleaded guilty to murder and high way robberies committed last May. George Plummer, 17 years old, was sent to the joliet penitentiary for killing Michael Thomas; Thomas Kelly, 20 years old, and Thomas Sherman, IS years old, his companions, were given life sentences in the Pontiac peniten tiary as punishment for the robberies. They were not held responsible with Plummer on the murder charge. Before sentence was passed, there was presented the usual spectacle of judge and prosecutor debating in open court the advisability of hanging the boy murderer. The prisoner was unmoved when Judge Barnes finally said: "He's too small to hang, so I'll send him to prison for lire." OIL EXPERIMENT OVER. Santa Fe Completes Its Test With Kansas Crude Oil. The experiment which the Santa Fe has been making for the oast week or so with" Kansas crude oil as fuel for locomotives has been completed and the Texas oil burning engine with wnicn the test was made was re turned to the Texas division. F. C. Fox, general superintendent of the Santa Fe, said this morning con cerning the experiment: "We have taken all the oil that has been offered for the experiment and tried It. The test lasted about seven days, and the engine was tried at all kinds of traffic, including freight trains, coal trains and passenger 'trains. As yet no defi nite conclusion has been arrived at, but Expert Thomas will have his re port made out by another day and then we can tell whether or not the experiment has been successful. The oil burner was sent back to Texas this morning. REASON WRECKED BY A DREAM. Woman Twice Imagined That Her Husband Wes Shot. Toledo, Aug. 2. Ten days ago Mrs. Frank Ashe dreamed that her hus band was shot, and she was in agony ot tear till she received a telegram from him at Parkersburg, W. V., say ing that he was safe and sound. Last night the dream was repeated, and now Mrs. Ashe is violently insane. Awakened by the horror of the dream, the unfortunate woman ran from the house In a panic, .and it was found necessary to summon the police to capture her. Jt required the efforts of three strong men to subdue the wo man. So far as is known nothing un toward has befallen her husband, who is still in Parkersburg. RAILROADS DISAPPOINTED. Travel to Uintah Registration Not Up to Expectations. Denver, Aug. 2. The travel to Grand Junction and other points where regis tration of applicants for homesteads in the Uintah reservation Is in progress does not meet tne expectations of the railroads and it Is already evident that the clerical force employed will have no difficulty in registering all appli cants. The total number of registra tions at all points on the first day was 5.507. Should the same rate be main tained during the 12 days allowed for registration, there would be more than sixty thousand applicants for about 6,000 homesteads included in the portion of the reservation opened to entry. How ever, it is not now anticipated that the registration will exceed 30,000. Wife-Beater Dodges Beating. Orange, N. J., Aug. 2. Mrs. John Baker appeared before Police Justice Bray today and accused her husband with having beaten her brutally with a heavy strap, which she exhibited. Baker said that he had merely "lightly tapped" his wife with the strap be cause she had taken a letter from his pocket. "I'd just like to hit you across the back with that strap as hard as you hit me," interjected Mrs. Baker. "Would you be willing?" Inquired Justice Bray. "Why, certainly," replied the fellow with a laugh. "All right; take off your coat." The crowd in the court room looked on expectantly, and Baker lost his smile. "No; she'll hurt me," whined the man. The crowd laughed. Justice Bray adjourned the case, pending Baker's good behavior. The Trials of That Silver Service for amuPi r ABBOTTJS BACK. Again Given Captaincy of the White Sox. Blackburn Beleased From the Team Today. SHEARD IS VERY SORE. Says Other Teams Exceed the Salary Limit. ilasSade Complaint to President Shiveley. The new White Sox (for the present): Henry, catcher. Abbott, first baseman and captain. Dunn, second base. Quigley, shortstop. Brown, third base. Cole, left field. Hisey, center field. Lazotte, right field. Murray, utility man. Hughes, pitcher. Howey, pitcher. Carter, pitcher. McKelvey, pitcher. The release of Sir George Felix Black burn and the reascension of Spencer Arthur Abbott to the captaincy was the first step which Tom Sheard took today to rejuvenate the failing fortunes of his White Sox, upon their return from the most disastrous trip in their history, in which they lost ten games and won five. Three faces, new to the Topeka fans, greeted Association park this afternoon as Captain Abbott trotted them out against Joplin. Hisey, though with the team for over a week appeared in cen ter field. He is a good clever fielder, a consistent hitter and in every way promises to take care of the middle garden acceptably. He came from a small town in Missouri and was rec ommended by Jimmie St. Vrain, the pitcher in whom Sheard was so disap pointed just before the team left on its long trip. McKelvey, a new .twirling artist comes from Oklahoma. He first caught on with Wichita, but the Jobber staff was full and he was sent to Guth rie. The Senators too had enough men on the firing line and they released him to Sheard day before yesterday. His recommendations are good. But still he will have the handicap to overcome that two other teams did. not want him, and that is a big burden for a man to bear in coming to a new town. Murray, the new utility man will best be remember ed by the Topeka fans with .Pittsburg last year, where he played in center field. This spring he was signed by Wichita, but about a month ago badly injured his right ankle. It was necessary for Klmmei to get some one to displace him and finally acquired Duty Miller, who is such a high grade man that he was not willing to put Murray back. In that way Topeka gets him. Sheard does not, however, intend to use him in the outfield but in the infield. He will arrive from Wichita to night and may go In at short or second on Thursday. One more new man for the infield is on the "hook" from tne Cotton States league but Sheard was not yet ready this morning to give out his name. "I have some more men' coming," he said. "I do not know how good they are. When they arrive they will be given trials and if they do better than our present inielders why they can have jobs. That is the principle that I am going to follow from now on. "I released Blackburn because I think he is a joke," continued Sheard. "He is too big and fat to play ball. I thought at first that he was just the man I was looking for but I find tnat I was badly mistaken. He couldn t handle first base at all. So I have decided to let him go and put Abbott back on first base. He is the best initial sacker we have ever had and also the best captain. I think that the trial of Quig ley and Blackburn after displacing Ab bott, fully shows that the latter is the best man and we are going to put him back." "What made you lose so many games?" was asked of Sheard. "There is one big reason for It," was his. answer, "and I'm going to start a roar about it and make trouble for somebody. In fact I have already com plained to Shiveley. Let me tell you something. Wichita is paying its' team $2,000 per month. Oklahoma City just got through collecting over $2,000 in sub scriptions from its citizens to keep its team going. The attendance down there does not warrant the payment of such salaries, which are twice more than the limit prescribed in the rules. I'm not going to stand for that. The fact of a Governor man the Battleship Kansas. the matter is that some of those towns down there are simply trying to play big league ball and the only way they can do it is to j)ay big salaries, much larger than they can afford or are al lowed to pay. The rules or the agree ment under which we play says that any manager shall be fined $500 for ex ceeding the salary limit and I tell you right now that I have proof of the vio lations of some of these towns and 1 1 am going -to push them hard. I haven't a barrel of money to throw away on men. 1 cannot afford to do it. Tne people here in Topeka won't take the money out of their pockets to pay sal aries which are away over the limit. We must conform to our rules and our agreement. Those fellows down there can afford to get better men than we can because they pay almost twice as mucn a month in salaries, w nat is fhe result? We are no match for them. That is the point I have in question and it is going to get a good airing. Of course," continued Mr. bneara. "we also had some hard luck. Hughes was the only pitcher on the team who was in shape to work and he did splen didly. Howey was suffering from a bad arm. Carter's thumb is so sore now that he can hardly use it. We let Jimmie St. 'Vrain go and as a conse quence were short and injured ana up against it. I'm going to try my best to give the people of Topeka the best team that I can give them for the money." Abbott has consented to take the team. He did better than either Quigley or Blackburn, and played a much better game at first than the latter. He Is without question tne best man now available for the place. Abbott gained many friends by his dropped from the captaincy, and his gentlemanly Conduct after being return to the helm will be wel comed. "I haven't a thing to say," said Blackburn after he was notified of his release by Secretary Logan. "I don't think that we did bad at an. At least we dldn t do any worse than has been done on previous trips. I don't know where I am going." Joplin began a series of three games with the White Sox at Association park this afternoon. Springfield fol lows for three more. During these six days a number of changes are apt to be made on the team. They will without question, if the present plans of Sheard, Logan Co. carry. Owens Goes Up. Mixed in with this story streaked with blue and black comes the really sad news that Umpire Owens "Brick" or "Pug," whatever you may choose to call him will leave the Western association. This morning he re ceived a telegram from. President O'Brien of the American association to report to him at once. Shiveley in formed Owens that he could go. So the big fellow wil leave either Thurs day or Friday. He' officiated at Asso ciation park this afternoon. It means a big Increase in the pay check at the end of each month for Owens. Shiveley paid him $110 per month, while from the American as sociation he will get $275 after each thirty days roll around. Umpires in big leagues are paid good-money. O'Brien has had his eye on Owens for quite a long while. About two months ago he asked Shiveley if he could have him, but "Doc" turned him down. But he has honored the sec ond request, and Owens will leave this association. "In some ways I am sorry to go and in some ways glad," he said this morning. "The money is what all of us are looking fori.: That is the rea son why I shall accept the job. I think that I can make good up there. At least I. am --'going to- try mighty hard. I heard here-' this morning that Lewinson was getting five dollars more each month than I am, ana l don't like that a bit. I don't see where he has anything over me. I would like to stay down here all right." The big fellow smiled as he said the next sentence. "You know I'm going to get married this fall, and my wife would like to live down here. But I made too many friends in this circuit. That don't help an umpire at all. It retards his work if anything. I shall guard against that In the future." SICKLE KILLS YOUNG MAN.

While sharpening a grass sickle on an emery wheel at the Crawford Automobile works, John Shirely, aged 22, was al most instantly killed by the blade com ing loose from the handle and striking him in the neck. The point entered his throat, severing the right jugular vein. The flow of blood choked Shirely to death within two minutes, before medical aid could be brought to him. O. D.

While clean ing the bucket used in a bored well on the J. N. Powers place in the southeastern part of town yesterday a half teaspoonful of gold was found in the sand lodged in around the. leather valve. Mr. Tolin, who occupies the place, is an old miner, and as he was at work clean ing the bucket he noticed the shining par ticles. He proceeded to pan out the sand with the result above stated. Old residents will recall that it was once stated that the under side of the fa mous mineral spring on the Sam Lang worthy place, down in that direction, was lined on the under side with gold, and there is more or less excitement in conse quence. To Enlarge a Cement Plant. Iola, Kan., Aug. 2. The Iola Portland Cement company is contemplating en larging the local plant. The matter of the enlargement has been up before the board of directors for some time and it was learned today unofficially that it has been decided to proceed with the work. It is understood that the com pany contemplates enlarging the plant to at least one fourth more than its present capacity. The plant already has an output of 4,000 barrels per day find the addition contemplated would bring the. output up to 5.000. This would make it rank with the largest factories of the kinc".

Chicago,- Aug. 2. A riot in which sev-? eral hundred people took part occurred last night In South Chicago where three detectives employed by the Lake 'Shore Michigan Southern road attempted to arrest Chas. B. Frane for riding on a sand train. The detectives In trying to make the arrest were compelled to use their re volvers and the crowd retaliated with bricks and stones. A number of people were injured in the fight; they are: Richard Williams, shot in the arm by one of the detectives. Mrs. Emma Foley, wounded in. -right temple by a bullet that grazed her head. Myrtle Foley, daughter of Mrs. Emma Foley, knocked down and trampled by the crowd. Chas. Brecht, detective employed by the Lake Shore road, struck on the head with a stone and badly injured. Theo. Dangel, head cut with a stone. The mob besieged the detectives and their prisoner in the depot and broke many of the windows in their efforts to get at the officers. A detail of police men from the South Chicago station was insufficient to disperse the mob, and additional help was summoned. The crowd scattered after a number of ar rests had been" made. Frane was final ly locked up in the police station, al though a large crowd followed all the way to the station, bent on securing his release. DEFECTIVE BOILER. Cause of the Bennington Disaster Has Been-Ascertained. San Francisco, Aug. 2. A special from San Diego to the Call says: From an official source, the relia bility of which cannot be questioned because of Its connection with the court, it has just become known in substance what will be the report of the board of inquiry Investigating the Bennington disaster. It may be stated authoritatively that the court will find that the boiler of the gunboat explod ed, not because of unusually high pressure, but because the metal of the crown sheet and the bolts holding the crown sheet had lost all life and nearly all tensile strength by reason of constant use and the failure to re new the weakened place during the twenty years the ill-fated Bennington was in service. The court will not censure the officers of the ship, but will pass up the matter and the re sponsibility to higher authority. VAUDEVILLE PEOPLE COMPLAIN. Say They Are Being Mistreated by Vine wood Management. Edwin Lee, a SC Louis vaudeville artist, has a complaint against the To peka Street Railway company and the Vinewood park theater and from his version of It he is certainly blowing into the small end of the horn. Lee says that he was engaged to take part in the vaudeville show during the present week at Vinewood. He ap peared on Sunday to work, but the heavy storm during the afternoon pre vented a performance. At night he did his "turn." But there were only thirteen people in the house. After going on the boards he went down into the body of the theatre and sat there smoking. Manager R. F. Payden of the theatre came to him and said that he was not needed anymore. "They paid me no salary when I asked for it," said Lee this morning. "Today I went to Frank Kelly, secre tary of the street railway company, and asked him for transportation out of town. He refused me that also. I am simply in the hole, that's all." He says other people on the bill were also cancelled after the performance but were told they could stay if they would take less salary. SUCH INDEED IS FAME. New York Paper Makes Queer Charges Against Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon. The following editorial matter comes from a Catskill. N. Y., paper, and shows how far from the truth, some eastern publications can come: "Rev Charles M. Sheldon, the former preacher at Topeko, Kan., who created a sensation two or three years ago by writing a book telling what Jesus would do if he were on earth, and who tried his hand for a few days running a news paper as he thought Christ would con duct it, has just failed for $312,500, with assets of $300! The man who steals a loaf of bread is a criminal fit to be cast into prison but the man who suc ceeds in getting $312,500 of other peo ple's hard earned money on the strength of holy reputation is a hail-fellow will met. We always regarded Mr. Sheldon as a faker and a fraud. His conduct of the Topeko Journal marked him as that." The writer who knew so much about Dr. Sheldon's financial affairs does not know how to spell Topeka, and Is slight ly mixed on the name of the paper used by Mr. Sheldon in his experiment. He probably refers to a Kansas City bank rupt who unfortunately has the same name as Mr. Sheldon but is not related to him. A Coalition Ministry. Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 2.

MARKETS TODAY. Lower Prices at Liverpool De press Wheat. Small Receipts Cause Firm Tone in Corn. LIVE STOCK TRADE. Cattle Quoted Steady to Ten Cents Lower. Hogs Are Five Cents Higher in Kansas City. Chicago, Aug. 2. WHEAT Lower prices at Liverpool had a depressing effect on the wheat market here today. Weather in the northwestern states was generally favorable to the maturing of the new crop. This fact also tended to weaken the mar ket. At the opening September was a shade to Mc lower, at 84i!.!S,s4c. On a good demand from commission houses the price advanced to S4ciaSoc, but soon re acted again to 84c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 432 cars, against 178 cars a year ago. For September the lowest point of the day was reached at 83c. The close wai firm on covering by shorts with Septem ber up He, at 8484c. CORN Small receipts and practically no acceptances from the country, caused a firm tone in corn. There was a good de mand, but offerings were light. Septem ber opened c to 4c higher, at 52 g52c, and for a time held within the opening ranee. Corn closed at the highest point of the day. Sentember being up 1&1C, at 63c.- OATS Fairly liberal receipts caused some uneasiness in the oats market. At the opening sentiment was a trifle bullish, owing to wet weather throughout the oats belt. September opened c higher, at 27c and sold off to 27c. PROVISIONS Provisions were firm as a result of decreased stocks of lard and ribs in store in Chicago. Advance -of 5 10c in the price of live hogs helped to sup port the market. September pork was up 2c. at $13.50. Lara was a snaae nigner, at $7.37. Ribs were unchanged, at $3.25.

With these conditions corn is inclined to sink under its own weight, although a drive at the short interest will cause rallies from time to time, but sales on bulges ought to make the speculator money. PROVISIONS Provisions have the sup port of the packing interest and they act well. I look for lard and pork to sell higher. New lork Stocks. Wall St., New York, Aug. 2.

Checksfleld, a Grocer. Other Was a Boy W ho Wanted Work. Arrival of the Police Prevents a Riot. The high-handed' n.ethods of the Santa Fe detectives came very near to causing a serious riot at the north gate of the Santa Fe shops last night. After assaulting a citizen for no apparent rea son the detectives were surrounded by the strike breakers who had just come out of the shops, and a rope was called fer. In the melee which followed, a burly Santa Fe guard attempted to as sault Josiah Ross, a city detective.who promptly stuck an automatic pistol in the man's face and ordered him to cool off. The weapon had a soothing effect on the entire crowd, and peace was re stored. Chief Detective Germain of the Santa Fe, with five assistants, came by the store of A. Checksfleld, 823 Seward ave nue, and assaulted a young man who was standing in front of the store. They then turned on Mr. Checksfield, who was standing against his own picket fence. "What are you going to do about it?" demanded one of them, and struck Checksfleld with his fist. "I was standing in front of my place, and on my own property," said Mr. Checksfleld this morning, "when that gang came along. They jumped on a boy who was trying for a week to see some foreman and get a job in the shops. They turned on me and asked me what I was going to do about it. I .answered that I was not going to do anything. Two of them grabbed me and pulled me away from my own fence and a third struck me. I was do ing nothing, but their action was noth ing new. It is the custom for these Santa Fe detectives to knock people down and then ask them what they are hanging around for; but they al ways strike first." Josiah Ross, city detecive, was sit ting in front of Cheeksfle?Js store when the man was assaulted, and saw the whole performance. He ran out to in terfere, and the big Santa Fe man rush ed at him, but Ross drew his revolver and the detective changed his mind. "I saw it all," is the statement of Mr. Ross, "and the behavior of those railroad detectives was entirely uncalled for. They came up to Checksfield and struck him. Then some friend of Checksfieli reached over the fence and hit. the .big guard on the nose. I ran up tostop the -fight, and -that big de tective;'tne ene'rfho caused the trouble the night before., rushed at me. I stop ped him in a hurry. A big crowd had gathered, and they were nearly all strike breakers who had just come out of the shop in time to see the assault. They seemed to see the injustice of it, and were about to mob the detectives. Officer Summers and I were mixed up in it, and Detective Pavey and the chief came flying around the corner in an automobile. The- boilermakers were yelling for a rope to hang the detective wno naci assaulted the boy and Mr, Checksfield. Germain pointed to a man who had a baseball bat and said to me. Do you allow anything like that? Why don't you arrest him?' I replied, 'I think they need something to protect them selves with. The police are very "sore" on the t-anta he detectives, and say that they cause ail the trouble. Officers Summers. Gardiner, Pavey and Goff who are at present on the Topeka police force, were Santa Fe detectives during the worst disturbance a year ago, and they never naa occasion to club or strike anv man The strikers have refrained from fieht- ing, and are ordered by the union to run away rather than fight the railroad guards. The Santa Fe company has purchased the lots at the corner of the shops where the strikers erected a picket house and a sign, and the strikers have moved to another lot adjoining. The trouble last night was with non union men. The union boilermakers kept out of the melee entirely, as they were ordered to do by the union.

IX KOOSEVELTS CLASS. Seven Lads Taught by President's Son in Sunday School. Oyster Bay, Aug. 2. Seven boys of Oyster Bay are members of the Sun day school class taught by Theodore Roosevelt, jr. All the other boys wish they were in it. The seven boys who, belong to it get to the church an hour before Sunday school opens. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., not yet out of his teens, has much of the earnest ness and the vigor of his father, and he has entered Sunday school work with the energy his father shows in his larger affair. The Roosevelts have been members of Christ Episcopal church at Oyster Bay for years. vvnen young Theodore, with his Bible under his arm, walked briskly up the gravel path to the Sunday school a cluster of clean faced young sters grouped about the door exclaim ed: "There's Mr. Roosevelt!" and hurried Inside. Theodore, jr., escorted his cousin. Miss Christina Roosevelt, who teaches another class, and they were chatting gayly as they approach ed the church. The class that Theodore Roosevelt, jr., teaches are a bright, healthy lot of youngsters. John Duuy, the eldest, is just eleven years old. His father is a gardener. Others are Willie Rogers, ten, whose father is a Long Island railway conductor; Christy Carl, ten, a farmers son; Herbert and Frank Southern, ten and eight respectively, a. carpenter s sons; Willie Webster, nine, whose father works in the postoffice. and Allen Morris, osn of a store keeper. After opening exercises the classes drew closer to their teachers, and Mr. Roosevelt's young charges almost sat in his lap in their eagerness to hear. He first asked them how they all felt, and they promptly responded: "Pretty well, thank you." "That's good," said the teacher earnestly. "Boys all ought to be in very good health. They must take care of themselves." "Yes, sir." they assented. Then the president's son opened his Bible, turning to the fifth chapter of II Kings, read very slowly the story of how Naaman was cured of leprosy by Elisha by dipping himself seven times in the River Jordan. He drew a moral from the act of Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, in extorting money from Naa man, and his punishment by Elisha, turning him into a leper. "If Gehazi had been honest," said the teacher, "he would not have been so sorely punished. We should all be honest at all times." Closing the Bible, the teacher had a fifteen minute chat with the young sters. "And what do you do In winter?" he asked. "Oh, we go sledding and skating and have lota of fun," said Willie Rogers. "And he get hurt sometimes," added John Duffy. "Oh. we do too." said young Mr. Roosevelt. "Several people were all cut up at Sagamore Hill last" winter. But sledding is great sport." The president's son told how he broke his nose playing hockey when he was much younger and how his finger was broken in a coasting acci dent. He told the boys to have all the good, wholesome sport they could, but to be careful. Then the pastor entered the Sunday school, the benediction was pronounced and Sunday school adjourned. of Prints 10 yard patterns; only 9 o'clock Thursday, TOPE FEVER JSGAINIIIG Situation at New Orleans Less Favorable Than Yesterday. Warm Weather Held Kespon sible for Disease's- Spread. RIDE ON THE "CARS. How Mosquitoes Are Able to Spread the Plague. Rain Washes Oil From Gutters and Cisterns. New Orleans, Aug.. 2. With a large increase in the number of new cases during the past 24 hours, the fever situation was not so favorable today as it has been. The .authorities believe the confinement of the serious infec tion below Canal street is encouraging. Intensely warm weather is thought to havfe -.been partly responsible for .the increasef ia, cases,. However, Jnspite ot the; most rigid inspection, concealed cases among the Italians are here and there cropping out. The 'appearance of two or three cases yesterday among, persons whose business does not carry them into the infected districts down town has given an impression that the stegomyi is possibly being carried out of the infected zone through the medi um of street cars. Two or three city lines cross Canal street, running from the lower end to the upper. They come and go through the section where the fever has been most severe and not improbably are picking up mosquitoes or transporting them to other sections. It has been suggested that the authorities take action to pre vent street cars from crossing Canal street. A very severe rain and thunder storm during the night caused the wash away of oil from many miles of gutters and the overflows caused hun dreds of cisterns to discharge the oil which had been put in them. The authorities beg-an again reoiling today all gutters, cisterns and pools. The Interstate Muddle. Another phase of the controversy between the states of Louisiana and Mississippi has developed in the filing of writs of ejectment and injunction against the Mississippi militia in the federal courts. The suit was brought by Albert Baldwin, banker and capi talist of this city. Mr. Baldwin seeks to enjoin the Mississippi soldiers from takiner possession of his fishing and hunting lodge on Pearl river.- It seems that nermif-sion was asked to occupy the place for the military during the' guard duty on the border and it -was refused. The troops answered that if the permission was not granted within a certain time they would break open the place. Yesterday they broke in and Mr. Baldwin decided to bring suit. Federal marshals probably will be sent to the scene. Henry McCall, collector of customs. has qualified as disbursing agent of the government funds to be used in an effort to prevent the present fever from developing into an epidemic AmDle money will be at the disposi tion of Dr. White and his corps to carry on their work, provision having been made by tne last congress to meet such an emergency as has developed here. Annually the railroads run out of New Orleans cheap excursions to Chi cago, St. Louis and the large cities of the north, east and west. The ex cursions are usually scheduled for the middle of August. Announcement has been made that excursions this year will be abandoned. B. W. MIDGE IS PROMOTED. Son of Vice President H. V. Mudge of the Rock Island Comes to Topeka. B. W.

Chicago, Aug, 2, The Tribune says: Dr, Orlando Caesar Burt, once- Metho dist Episcopal minister and more re cently a Chicago advertising solicitor, has .spent much of his leisure time in marrying. According to police au thorities, Dr. Burt's- record td date is three wives -none of Ihem deal or divorced. WUe- No. 2 is.-a Chicago woman, now supposed to ;,be. with the clergy man in Canada. Wife No. 3 is in Milwaukee mourning his departure. Wife No. 1 is reconciled to his ab sence. The list of women claiming the reverend doctor as their husband fol lows: .1. Mrs. Susie Smith Burt, Newton, Pennsylvania. 2. Mrs. Annie Taylor Burt, 333 Chestnut street, Chicago.- 3. Mrs. Annie Lemke Burt,' Mil waukee, Wis. Forged divorced decrees are said to have played 'an 'important part In Burt's game to secure for wives the Chicago arid Milwaukee women. He is charged also with employing hypno tism as an agent to keep in subjection the Chicago woman. First Weds Congregation, Member. Burt's matrimonial ventures extend over a period of twenty years, begin ning when he was a struggling preacher In Newton. He met Miss Susie Smith, a member of his congre gation and daughter of Robert Smith, a wealthy business man. Burt at that time had been only a few months out of college, having been graduated from Northwestern university at Evan ston. After a short courtship Miss Smith and Burt were married. They had two daughters, both of whom are living with their mother. Eleven years.. ago the president of Dickinson college, Carlisle, Pa., sent Miss Annie Taylor to Burt to be coached for second year work in the institution. The girl, who lived in Eddystone, Pa., was 16 years old. She was handsome, and the minister be came infatuated. Mrs. Burt asked the girl to cease her lessons and she did so, returning to college. Two years later, shortly after she was graduated from Dickinson, Burt visited the girl in Eddystone. He said he would be obliged to go to Nevada, Mo., for medical treatment and that Mrs. Burt was anxious for Miss Taylor to accompany him as a nurse. She ac cepted the invitation. They remained for several months. When they returned to Newton the girl called on Mis. Burt to tell her of their western trip; To her surprise, she found that the woman was not aware she had accompanied her hus band. After a stormy interview Miss Taylor was' requested to leave the Burt household. Scene Shifts to Chicago. From that time on Burt saw little of Miss Taylor. Three years ago she came to Chicago, securing work as a stenog rapher in the office of the Canadian Investment and Securities company. She was liked by her employers. Then Burt came. He still wanted to marry Miss Taylor. She said she would not wed him until he got a di vorce. Two months later he returned with a paper which he represented as a di vorce secured jn Newton from his first wife.'. Then- they"' were married in Waukegan in October, 1903, nine years after they -first met. Miss Taylor begged Burt to keep the marriage secret, for she -wished to con tinue her work. He was willing. "That will be all right," he assured her. "You know my voice has: failed me and I can no longer preach.- Until I get something else to do we shall need your earnings." He then went to board at 333 Chestnut street, .-where Miss Taylor lived: Secret Marriage Becomes Known. Last February Mrs. Burt's employers learned that she was married. Three months later Burt went to Milwaukee to secure- employment, his wife giving him the money to pay his fare. In Jane he asked her to go to the Wiscon sin city for a few days. She accepted the invitation, but when she arrived she received a cool reception. "I'll not introduce you as my wife here," he told Mrs. Burt. "It will hurt me In a business way." Burt took her to his boarding house, introducing her to Miss Annie Lemke as Miss Taylor, his niece. Mrs. Burt had been his guests for less than an hour when he tried,, to borrow money. He was unsuccessful,' and ordered his wife' to return to Chicago. She left that night. A week later Burt came to Chicago and called on his wife No. 2 at her room at 333 Chestnut street. He de manded $20. She gave him $10. The next day, July 9, according to the Mil waukee police, Burt took Miss Annie Lemke to St.; Joe," Mich., and married her. Then they "returned to Milwau- kee. Inquiry Brings Story to Light. An investigation was started thy At-, torney Langan for the company em ploying Mrs. Taylor. A letter from Robert Smith, father of Burt's first wife, said ther minister never had se--cured a divorce from his daughter. In Milwaukee wife No. 3 -became suspir cious. She- called at the place rwhere Burt was employed and tried to, draw. part of his salary. She was told that.- she was not his wife and that he had a wife in Chicago. Burt heard of the. Investigation and quickly returned to this city. He met Mrs. Taylor Burt, confessed, asked for giveness, and she is .said .to have re lented. The last heard' of Burt was from Niagara Falls. He mailed a letter to wife .No. 3 inclosing a 15 mil. wire.. No. 2 is supposed to be with him. At the office of the canadia investment Security company it was said that Mrs. Taylor-Burt often complained that Burt made her do his bidding by hypnotizing her. TAYLOR TO THE RESCUE.

Claim They Are .Mistreated by the Detectives. The trouble between the Santa Fe secret service men and the striking machinists which has been in the air for some time threatens to be of con siderable importance and the workmen will call in the aid of the city au thorities to protect them. For two days there has been trouble at the various entrances of the shops, and at the Second street viaduct which last night resulted in a free for all fight. Today the strikers decided to appeal to the chief of police and ask that protection be given them at these various points. As has been the cus tom for the strikins machinists for the fourteen months pickets have been stationed at the viaduct and the east and west entrances of the shops the last week and these pickets claim that they have been mistreated by the secret service men employed by the Santa Fe company. They will ask for warrants for the secret service men on the charjre of" assault. A. G. McKinzie, R. C. Brown and C. D. Haag ?ay that they were assaulted by Santa Fe officers last evening. "We were not on the company's ground," said one of the men this morning, "when we were acrosted by the Santa Fe officers and driven down the street. The officers followed us and told us that we could not go down Hancock street but we went to my house on that street and there within ,were dared out In the alley by one of the officials who said that he "would whip us all. We didn't want to cause any trouble so didn't go." President Stark of the local union said of the treatment of the men by the railroad officials; "They seem to want to run us off the streets alto gether. We have been behavin our selves, and as citizens we demand the protection of the law. We rented a lot on Branner street for three months and we have a receipt showing that the rent has been paid up until the loth of September. The Santa Fe bought this property not long ago, and now claims the right to put us off." "What is your object in havinr your pickets stationed there?" was asked Mr. Stark. "Our pickets are put there to watch the men as they come and iro atid to observe the condition of the work being done. We make no comments about the workmen as thev pass and we violate the Jaw in no resneot. We will ask the chief of police for' protection and will -carry on the work as we started." From the company's standpoint the se cret service men are only protecting the interests of the road in the treatment of the strikers. The Santa Fe still keeps to the position that there is no strike and that everything is going along in the old WH. H. Germain of the Santa Fe secret service was down to the county attorney's office bright and early this morning to swear out warrants against W. L. Starr, F. C. Bolts and William Nelson. These are a rrt of the striking employes who were mixed in the fight between the de tective force and the strikers Monday ev ening. These men were first arrested and taken before the police court, but it seems that too much sympathy exists there to suit the detective force, so warrants have been sworn out by the county attorney. New York, Aug. 2. That she can predetermine the sex of infants and that It was by her treatment that Grover Cleveland had two male heirs s the assertion made by Mrs. F. Marian Foye, who has lately figured in print because her 2 7-year-old son, James E. Foye, assistant manager in the brokerage office of Charles E. Gates at the Waldorf-Astoria, had re fused to give her any money. Mrs. Fove appeared before Magis trate Crane in the Harlem police court saying she had been unable to serve her son with the summons that was given her last week. Her son is said to be in Saratoga and she asked a warrant for his arrest. Magistrate Crane refused this, saying that he wished to look into certain phases of the case, and that he would inform her at some future date of his de cision. It developed that the magistrate had been in receipt of various letters to the effect that Mrs. Foye still holds a place as matron in the department of docks. Claims Cleveland as Friend. From circulars in her possession and her own admissions it was shown she has been doing business as a sex con troller and fortuhe teller. She said that Grover Cleveland had named his daughter Marian for her and that it was because of her treatment that he was the father of two boys. When asked how she knew that Mr. Cleveland had named a child for her Mrs. Foye said: "Well, he named her Marian and my name is Marian. So that shows that he did, doesn't it?" On the neatly engraved circulars Mrs. Foye's named Is spelled "F. Marian Foire." 71en asked how this occurred she said: "Just before I wrote that advertisement I had been giving a French lesson, and Foire is French for Foye. I never thought of my slip until the printers had made the pamphlet. It wasn't worth while to ha,-e it changed." Sends Circular to Husbands. The letter, which Mrs. Foye sent to men only, on the ground that she could not give her treatment to wo men, is as follows: "Gentlemen If you would have sons to perpetuate your name, in herit your estate and fortunes. wl not consult Mrs. F. Marian Foire, a world-wide experienced nurse? She is a middle-aged woman and has two handsome sons, now gentlemen. It does not take twenty minutes to con vince her listener of the surety of having his hopes realized a son born and she leaves the value of this posi tive secret to the father's generosity and it rests entirely with him. She objects to consult with any mother. "Prior to the birth of Mrs. Grover Cleveland's third daughter (whom he named after me Marian born in the WhiteHouse during his last presidency) I assured Mr. Cleveland that the ex pected new arrival would be a girl, and to his great annoyance and great vexation it was. But since he gra ciously and willingly accepted my wonderful and never-failing experi ence two sons have been born, to his great delight. C- C. Osgood, a friend of former Mayor Van Wyck, hearing of Mrs. Foire's wonderful success, sent. his check for 11,000. and, since the birth of six girls, four boys were born. "When necessary I can refer to families where the reliability of my statement, can be verified. I would stake my life. Failure impossible. "F. MARIAN FOIRE, 1810 Manhattan avenue." Gets $45 Per Month. It was not until she had left the court that Mrs. Foye admitted after many denials that she is still employed by the department of parks. Her sal ary is $45 a month, payable every two weeks. At first Mrs. Foye, when asked as to the facts, strongly insisted that she was out of work, did not know where she could get her rent money, and be lieved her son should be locked up for refusing to support her. At last she said: "Well, I do work there at the baths, but the work is hard, and I have a $500 piano half paid for. I wanted my son to pay for it." SHAW IS NOTIFIED. Governor Blancliard Wires Secretary of tfie Treasury. New Orleans, Aug. 2. Governor Blanchard today wired to Secretary of the Treasury Shaw a vigorous pro test against the Interference of the revenue cutter Winona with Louisiana fishing boats lawfully riding in state or federal waters. He advised the secretary that the Winona has been guilty of interference with the rights of Louisiana boats on navigable water ways of the United States and is ap parently assisting the Mississippi quar antine patrol boats in interfering with Louisiana citizens. The governor requested prompt action to stop these practices and asked for the release of boats held by the Winona. The governor also wired the collector of customs a't Blloxi under whose jur isdiction the Winona is demanding the release of boats said to be held by the revenue cutter. A similar dispatch was sent by the governor to the officer in charge of the marine hospital on Ship island. The latter was asked by what authority he is holding the boats, the immediate release of which is demand ed. No reply has been received to these telegrams. LEE ON THE STAND. Testimony Begins In the Farris Bribery Case. Jefferson City, Aug. 2. The taking of testimony was begun today in the trial of estate senator Farris on the charge of bribery. Senator Dowell of Labelle testified concerning the organ ization of the senate In 1901, and the appointment of committees by Lieu tenant Governor Lee as president of the senate. Senator Dowell was a member of the criminal jurisprudence committee. Former Lieutenant Gover nor Lee was then called to the stand. Lee testified that Senator Farris came -to his room in the rear of the senate chamber during the legislative session of 1901, and said that the house and senate bills for the repeal of the law prohibiting the use of alum in the manufacture of baking powder could be smothered In committee. Far- ris came to him, he said, and told him the bill could be fixed so that it would never be reported from the committee for the sum of $7,000, making $1,000 for each member of the committee, except Senator TowelI who was not in the deal. Lee testified that Farris asked him to refer the matter to D. J. Kelley of New York and he wrote a letter to Kelley in forming him of Farris suggestion. Kelley telegraphed him to communicate with him over the telephone and be did so. Attorneys for the defense ob jected to this conversation being re peated. Judge Davis sent tae jury out and the attorneys argued the point. The arguments continued until the noon recess. LOCAL MENTION.

XT. S. District Attorney J. S. Dean returned from Kansas City this morn ing, where he has been for a few days on business connected with his office. Ex-Senator G. W. Hanna. of Clay Center, was in the city a few hours this morning on his way home from Kansas City. He expressed himself as being thoroughly disgusted with the turn things have taken around the state house, and says that "it is a sure thing that unless the unexpected hap pens. Governor Hoch will never be the nominee of his party to succeed him self in two years. People In my dis trict are even now -clamoring for an indication of backbone on the part of the governor, a new set of advisors, and a thorough overhauling of the state treasury." County Attorney Hungate is not fn his office today and has left word that he is in Kansas City on business per taining to his legal affairs.- However, there are some knowing ones about the court house who inisst that he can be found somewhere about the domain of Lake View.

When I started out over my route the other morning I knew that no deaths had taken place and no one was in trouble, and I therefore had every reason to hope that no poetry would be called for. None was until I reached Uncle Abner Johnson's. Then I found his wife at the gate with tears in her eyes. "Anything gone wrong, Aunt Mar tha?" I asked. "Not lately, Abe," she replied, as she wiped a tear from the end of her nose. "Then why this emotion?" "Because I dreamed of Willie last night." "And who is vviiue "He was our first child a little boy. He died twenty-eight years ago." "But isn't it pretty late in the day to be getting up this emotion "I can't help it, Abe indeed, I can't: He was so smart and cunning that I can never, never forget him. I wish you'd do me a favor." "Well?" "It I had some of your poetry writ on to him I know it would console me and make me feel better. I d just carry it about in my pocket all the day, and every time I got to feeling badly I'd read the verses over. You've writ for others, Abe, and why can't you for me?" I knew that the postmaster general was jealous of me, and that I might get the bounce at a day's notice: but Aunt Martha looked up so pleadingly that I could not resist. I warned her that I had a cold in the head and couldn't do mv best; but she answered that she'd put up with any old thing, so it had the feeling in it, and I went to work at the crank. I wasn't over ten minutes inventing the following: Our Willie's resting in his grave. Beneath the weeping willow: And every time I think of him The tears bedew my pillow. What ailed our babe was chicken pox- Alas' too many chickens. They threw him on his little bed. And then they played the dickens. Upon his harp, our Willie plays. And angels hover 'round him: And songs of gladness float around Because the angels found him. I admitted to Aunt Martha after reading the poetry to her that Byron and others had done better, but she didn't agree with me. She said it had the true ring, and that I was a true poet, and she insisted on my taking home with me three pounds of fresh butter and two dozen eggs. Nothing was wanted in my line at Farmer Watson's or Farmer White's, though the latter strongly hinted that some day when I had time to spare he wanted an obituary written on the death of his aunt In Montana. When I reached Farmer Jones' I found things different. "Look a-here, Abe," he began. "I suppose you've heard about my wife's father dying?" "Yes, I've heard that he died fifteen years ago." "It might have been fifteen, but that makes no difference. He's never had a line of poetry writ onto him, and we ain't goin' to stand it no longer- Git right down off that cart.", "For why?" "Because we've got to have some poetry right off this very day. Jim Henderson's wife is tellin' all around that we didn't care two cents for the old man. I propose, to show her that we did. ,Tou write some verses and I'll nail copies of them upon every barn door for five mile around. Come on." There was no denying Farmer Jones. His wife had had a hot cup of coffee for me every day that I drove by last winter, and so I followed him to the kitchen and had a bit of talk about the departed old man. When I had my data I whooped her up as follows: "The wind was wildly howling, and The night was dark and drear: When Ebeneezer Schemerhorn, His dying hour drew near. "He lay upon his dying back, His dying eyes were closed; His spirit had departed, as Most everybody 'sposed. "When suddenly he spoke aloud. And this is what he spoke: 'When I am gone don't weep for me, But take it as a joke.' "Abe," said the farmer, after I had read the verses to him, "if any critter on the face of this earth had told me you could hit the spot as you have I wouldn't have believed it! By the horn spoon, but it's great! It's Shakespeare and Milton and Byron and Captain Kidd all rolled together. After this thing gets circuited around, Jim Henderson's wife will sing mighty small. I wouldn't have a word of it altered for a hundred dollars, and when you want a bag o' 'taters just stop here and help yourself. I had no mail for Farmer Bixby, and was Jogging on past his place when he shouted at me from the barn door. I shouted back that I was in a hurry, but he came down to the road and said: "Abe, do you know why I ain't at work today?" "No." "Don't you notice a sort of sadness on my face?" "Come to look at you closely, I think I do." "And what would you say if I told you I'd been sheddin tears?" "1 hope nothing bad has hap pened?" "It's this way, Abe. You heard about my wife gettin' killed?". "Yes, a year or so ago." "Just a year ago today, Abe, This is the anniversary, and I'm takin' a day off to feel bad In." "Well, I sympathize with youj" I said as I made ready to drive on. "Thanks, but I want you to do sunthin' else, too. I want some poetry on- Mary. No use to say no. You know I'm your friend, and you know you can't deny me. I've been waitin' for you for the last hour, and I've got pencil and paper out here in the barn." I sot down and started in to make a quick jog of it, and while the farmer was bagging up two bushels of oats I wrote: 'Twas just a year ago today, That down the cellar stairs Poor Mary fell upon her head While busy with her cares. I found her dead when I came in From hoein'. of the corn: And when I laid her form away My heart was all forlorn. r "Nor yet have I recovered from The grief that-brings the tear: But I shall be in shape, I hop To wed again next year." 'what's that last line. Abe? asked the "victim" as I finished reading. I read it over again. -"Um! I don't know about that. You are talkin' about grief and the fallin' tear, and all to once you switch off and hint that I'll marry again in about a year." "But you .will, of course." "Will I?" "Certainly. You are not over 45, and the idea of your not marrying again is absurd That line must stand." "Wall, you know best, but I reckon TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

The executive committee of the depos itors of the First National bank called on Receiver Bradley of the bank Tues day afternoon and asked him to give out information relative to the resources and liabilities of the bank. They asked for a detailed showing of the cash on hand, and other assets of the bank as well as complete enumeration of the li abilities. Particularly they wished a statement of the estimates which have been placed on the real property turned over as an asset. Receiver Bradley re fused to give the information in each instance and referred them to the comptroller of the currency at Wash ington for a return to their answers. Mayor W. H. Davis said: "We did not succeed in getting any satisfaction out of Mr. Bradley and we have decid ed to submit our Questions to the comptroller. Maybe it is all right, but it seems to me as if there is more secrecy about the running of the bank than is necessary. Probably I am mis taken. We want to get along the best we can with Mr. Bradley." Receiver Bradley said: "If they feel that there is too much secrecy about it they will have to get their information from the comptroller. They came to me but I did not answer any of their questions. The government takes pre cautions to see that no speculation is indulged in. If they permitted the in formation to leak out someone would suffer by It. It might be that at the time of settlement both sides would be satisfied but that is not prpbable. Either one side or the other would have a grievance and the comptroller would get the blame. "The gentlemen wanted to know how they stood, and that is just what the government wants kept quiet for the timebeing. I don't know whether they will get any satisfaction out of the comptroller or not. I have not revised my figures yet regarding the doubtful paper, and my figures still stand as they were.'-' Sam Radges says that some meas ure should be taken to keep Devlin from leaving the United States at this time. "There may be some question which will arise in the bankruptcy proceedings which will have to be answered and he won't be here to answer," said Radges. "This bill," said the chairman of the legislative steering committee, "must not be allowed to become a law in its present sh.?fhy not?" demanded the member that had charze of the bill. "It's too plain and direct. There is only one possible interpretation of it, and no possible way of evading it. Read it again, yourself, man, and trll me, as a lawyer.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAi; WEDNESDAY; EVENING, AUGTJST 2, 1905. 9 V TOO JL1XY HALFPENCE. Issue of Small British Coin Suspended for Nearly a Year. That there was a restricted use of the Vcotn of the realm last year probably caused by the depression in trade is horvn by the falling off in the number of coins struck at the royal mint. The comptroller, in his annual report, states that in 1904 there was a decrease of 14,500,000 coins struck, as. compared with 1900, and of 31,000,000, aa compared with 1802. The coinage of gold was, however, greater than in 1902, having amounted to 11,750,000 pieces a total which has only once been exceeded. One of the most curious features or the year was the apparent superabund ance of coppers in existence. The issue of pence in London was suspended from the end of April to the early part ot November, and that of halfpence prac tically throughout the year. Farthings, too, seem to have been too plentiful, tor their issue was also restricted. During the year 10,000,000 sovereigns and 1.042,000 half sovereigns were issued, and it is interesting to learn that gold coins of the United States of the value of t9,555,000, were converted into Eng lish soveregins. Light gold coin amount ing to $10,000,000 was withdrawn from circulation. The comptroller mention a curious Idea entertained by some of the public that pence of various years (those ot 1864 particularly) possess a greatly en hanced value, and are received at the mint and paid for at various extraor diary rates. The present scarcity of pence of the year 1864 when a smaller number of pence was coined than usual may be responsible to some extent for the de lusion. The comptroller adds that no pence are purchased by the mint at either their nominal or at any fictitious r value. London Daily Mail. Building a Great Railroad Station. Within the next five years the Pennsylvania railroad station in New Tork city and its connecting tunnels will be completed, and the new Grand Central station will be ready for use a year sooner. Four city blocks have been razed by the contractors in charge of the work on the Pennsylvania station, and the treat traveling steam shovels are at work, each tearing away a thousand cubic yards of earth daily, while a hundred drills bore into the exposed rock and heavy charges of dynamite rack it into fragments. A great excavation sixty feet deep. In parts, must be dug, and in all two million cubic yards of earth and rock will be carted away before the work of building the new station can be begun. The cost of this work will be sixty million dollars, to which must be add ed the ten million dollars spent in ac quiring real estate. Over in New Jer sey the work of boring the tunnel that Is to carry the tracks of the Pennsyl vania into New Tork has been begun, and a shaft seventy-five feet deep and thirty-five feet in diameter has been sunk. From this point two separate tunnels, a mile in length, will be bored to the water front, and thence, under, the river bottom, six thousand feet to the shaft on the western shore of Manhattan island, where the under land tunnels will strike through to the station. On Long Island the. shaft work has also been begun,, and before long the work of tunneling the East river to meet the bores from the west will begin. The station itself will oc cupy a site five hundred feet by one thousand feet, and will be eight hun dred feet in length by four hundred feet in width. Placed fifty feat-back from the building line on all sides, it will give the effect of being located in the center of a great plaza. Karl "Decker, in Success Magazine for Aug ust. "How will we get rid of that edition de luxe?" asked the manager ot the publish ing house. "It contains nothing that is original or surprising." "Never mind, replied the salesman. "We will raise the price a few dollars and ad vertise It as 'unexpurgated.' "Washing ton Star. Comforts Should OST families will soon be en route for their annual out ing of the year. If the va cation time is to be spent In the cramped and inconvenient quar ters provided by the average boarding house or hotel there are a number of Inexpensive little luxuries that will add a thousandfold to the comfort of the holiday season. Almost at the top of this list is the hammock a good strong one with stretchers and a few cheaply covered pillows to use when one takes a com fortable lounge In Its depths. No ham mock is complete without them, and they are useful at other times as well. The regulation boarding house seldom boasts more than one of these luxuries, and if more are provided the supply is never equal to the demand. But the most cantakerous landlady will not ob ject to a guest swinging her own ham mock under a favorite tree or in an out of the way place on the piazza. Most of the railroads will carry a steamer chair checked as baggage, and even If one has to pay extra freight on it it Is worth the price. Many happy hours of rest will be spent in this roomy chair, hours when one does not want to sleep, but to dream in a drowsy, summery fashion. Then be sure to leave room In the trunk for a steamer rug and Belaggio blanket. You may need them for extra bed covering or to sit down on in the woods. If you are go ing Into a mosquito-ey part of the country take a netting canopy for the bed. No boarding house is ever free from these pests no matter how se curely the doors and windows are screened, and a bar over the bed will make possible peaceful and restful hours that otherwise would be torture. A small kerosene stove should be In very vacation kit as there are times when hot water or a hot iron are worth their weight in gold. The kettle and iron In most cases may be purchased at the country store, thus saving the troume oi transportation. But the laundry outfit should be taken from home. They consist of a tiny ironing Doaru, a smaii wax noiaer and an alco hoi lamp. With this traveling laundry one can do up small belongings such as stocks, handkerchiefs and even go as far as pressing out a muslin gown or shirt waist.

The salvation of older children Is ,a holiday "job," such as a collection of photographs, scenery or places of in terest vlsltedr .These prints should be stuck In a book' made for this purpose, with brown or tinted paper on one side and ruled paper on the other sheet.. In this way. a kind of illustrated diary is kept by writing on the ruled paper a description of the pictured object. Much of the interest of the family holiday depends upon whether the par ents, are well informed about natural history and the like. If they know about tides, winds,- rocks and sand, trees and flowers, they are able to keep their children .in a happier frame of mind than when Ignorant of these mat ters. I know one mother who was so disgusted. with her own inability to answer questions that, when she re turned to town she worked through many books In order to become a walk ing encyclopedia 'for-her children. Beautiful flowers that abound In most places. In the country are often sent to the stay at homes and a little knowl edge of when and what to pick and how to pack them may not come amiss. Never pick those, that are -full blown. On the other hand, they should not be In the very early budding stage or they may hot come- out in water. Buds three-fourths blown and blooms which are Just well opened travel best and last longest. Pick before the sun Is high and place the. flowers in water in a cool place for some' hours before packing and posting or pick overnight. leave in water, and pack and send off by the early mprnlng post if this will enable the flowers to reach their des tination the same day. If blossoms are picked in the sun and -not allowed to drink their fill: of water It is just a chance if they win recover from the harsh treatment. And now as to packing. Choose the box carefully with a view to the length of the stalks of tbe flowers you are sending and above all pack tightly, for if the blossoms shift about in the box they will surely be spoilt. I hav-3 found it best to tie each variety of flowers in a bunch, wrap the stalks with damp tissue, paper and then pack the bunches head to tail, sardine-wise, and almost as tightly. Do not attempt to pack heavy blossoms, such as peonies, with more delicate flowers. If your gift of flowers is to be truly welcomed choose them with care. Give a thought to the room In which they are likely to be placed and try to in elude flowers and foliage to decorate the dinner table. Do not stint the foliage-and remember to include some green twigs and spikes that will be needed as a foundation for the floral decoration. Use strong cardboard boxes and incase them securely, in thick brown paper.- GRACB GRISCOJi." CARPCTCLEANTNq. J.

10 THE TOPEKA. STATE JOUENAIi WEDNESDAY EVENTNG.AUGUST 2, 1905. 2k 01k mTa this c rocer says: "Any time you try to fool the American People Into buying something of inferior character by free offers, premiums, prizes, etc., you are engaged in a piece of up-hill business. 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. "This truth has been well demonstrated in the many attempts to market various kinds of cereal foods during 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 :yould 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. "We are happy to state, however, that the one cereal food which has at all 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 lEGG-O-SEE. It is so much better and 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 say they get their full money's worth when they buy EGG-O-SEE and they rely on it absolutely. It is out-selling all the rest six to one in our store and when a customer once starts on it, he never quits. Exchange Grocery, V. Often. Prop.. Topeka, lias.

An entirely new turn has been given the Town Topics muddle by Moses Elias Woorster, the originator of "Fads and Fancies" and the manager of "America's Smart Set," applying to Assistant District Attorney Krotel for a warrant for criminal libel against his former associate. Colonel William D. Mann, editor of Town Top ics. Wooister, who was highly indig nant, announced that in addition to the criminal charge he would bring a civil action against Colonel Mann for $50,000 for defamation of character. Woorster bases his complaint upon the interviews recently given out by Col. Mann regarding the Town Topics scan dal. He alleges that Mann referred to him as a scoundrel and also intimated he had dismissed Lim from his employ. In his interview with the assistant district attorney Woorster told how armed with letters of introduction from Mann, he obtained ?30,000 from Mrs. Collis p. Huntington and $1,500 from Senator Dcpew for the insertion of sketches of their lives in "Fads and Fancies." Woorster declared that when he outlined his "F?ds and Fancies'" scheme to the editor of Town Topics Colonel Mann seized upon it eagerly. "I got $50,000 out of the tfiing," said Woorster, "and there was $30,000 owing to me when I parted with Colonel Mann. We agreed when the business started to set aside $50,000 for the publication of the work and the remainder of the sub secriptions were to be divided equally be tween us. I remained in charge of the publication as editor for two years. At the end of two years I concluded to quit and figured that my share of the profits was about $80,000. I got $50,000 and as signed my claim for tfc- balance to W. L. Daniels, who succeeded me in charge Of 'Fads and Fancies.' "One day in 1902 Colonel Mann said to me: 'You had better see Mrs. Hunt ington. She is very wealthy and I think she would subscribe to our book.' He gave me a letter to her and I pre sented it and found her very agreeable. When I told her how much Colonel Mann admired her husband she readily subscribed, agreeing to pay $10,000. "One day I needed some money and Colonel Mann told me I might go to Mrs. Huntington and get the amount of her subscription. She had not the least objection to paying in advance and gave me $10,000 in cash, which I divided equally with Mann. "I carried Mann's personal letter to Senator Depew Just before the senator's marriage and he readily subscribed $1, 500. I did not have to use any per suasion with the senator. About $200, 000 In all was taken in for 'Fads and Fancies.' The reason Colonel Mann did not go in on 'America's Smart Set' was that we could not agree on the terms. He knew all about the publication from its inception, however. He has a short memory." MciJovem Broke a Mail's Jaw. New York, Aug. 2. Terry McGovern showed his old time championship form when he met a. man he did not like in Brooklyn. Although the victim, William Kent, said nothing to Terry, he was set upon by the one time "Terrible" and sustained a broken Jaw. McGovern feinted with his risht and then swung his left heavily on Kent's jaw. Kent went down in a heap, but struggled to his feet. He was groggy but game. He swung his right, but McGovern blocked it and sent him down again under a hail of rights and lefts. Again Kent struggled to his feet, this time to receive a. dream pro ducer which broke his jaw and put him out for good. In the meantime a policeman had ap peared and McGovern spent a few hours in a cell at the Fifth avenue police station. More or less interest.

He Had Run His Machine Over a Six Year-Old Child. New York, Aug. 2. A 6-year-old girl was run down and probably fatally hurt last night in Brooklyn by a large automobile. A mob at tacked the chauffeur. Nils Brolin. who was saved from serious injury by a policeman. The child was at play in the street with her mother and did not see the automobile approaching. Brolin tried to stop the machine when he saw the child was bewildered and hesitated in which direction to fly. He threw on all of his brakes and the motor stopped after one wheel had passed over the body of the child. Brolin jumped from the machine and hast ened to a telephone where he called for an ambulance. Upon his return to the automobile he found a threat ening crowd surrounding two friends wjiom he had in the machine. Wo men with clubs struck at him and men threw stones until the police man arrived. The mother took the Insensible body in her arms and, refusing to let tne amDUiance doctor touch her, car ried the child half a mile to the hospital. HORSE CARS GONE. New York the Latest City in the Union to Give Up. New York, Aug. 2. Horse cars of the most antiquated pattern which have been running on Grand street for half a century went out of commission at midnight. They will be superseded by the underground trolley. The old horse car line which passed through what was not many years ago New York's principal retail district, connected the Des Brosses street ferry.. North river, with the Grand street ferry. East river, and for years have been packed to overflowing in rush hours. Many drivers on the Grand street cars have grown gray in the service. All will be taught to handle the motors before the new cars are installed. BOY SIX FEET HIGH. Hides Under the Bed When Threat ened With Arrest. New York, Aug. -2. On complaint of his father, Alfred Price, a 15-year-old boy who is mor than six feet tall and of manly proportions, has been arrested. The father declared that when he remonstrated with the young giant for some action, the boy demol ished everything in the dining room, threatened to fire the house and loud ly declared that if a policeman at tempted to stop him he would kill him. Alfred, senior, dodging the flying glassware and china, ran into the street and called a patrolman. After a long search in the house, the police found the erstwhile pugnaciously inclined youth hiding under a bed in his fath er's room, crying as if his heart would break. When taken to the station Alfred's feelings were once more lacer ated when he was turned over to the Children's" society. He Drew the Black Ball. Seattle. Wash., Aug. 2. Victro von Tausk, formerly a young officer in the English army, has written a letter to Mrs. E. L. Busch, of this city, stating that he intended killing himself yester day in some unknown spot because some time ago he drew the "blacic ball" in a suicide compact with a German army officer. Mrs. Busch Is not in the city, but her husband and others who knew the young soldier, do not believe he committed suicide, but wrote the let ter as a blind, so as to cover his sud den disappearance from Menominee, Mich., where he was employed in the office of the Menominee Electric Man ufacturing cpnmany. KELLY'SJEFEHSE He and Bonding Company-Prepare to Fight. Will Contend That Money Was in Bank Before March 18. SAYS WAS AUTHORIZED On This Ground Collection on Bond Will Be Resisted. Expected That Suit Is to Be Be gun Soon. "I think that you will find that every cent of that $547,000 was put into the First National bank before March 18," said Treasurer Kelly- this morning be traying plainly the defense which he and the Scranton Bonding company will put up against the suit which At torney General Coleman has now in pre paration against the latter concern. "That matter down there in the bank does, not worry me in the least," said Kelly. "I know that it was put in there according to law. There is not a thing wrong with it." Upon that point will hinge the deter mination of the proposed suit of the state against the Scranton company. On March 18 the new depository law was published and became effective, providing that the governor shall re quire a new bond of the treasury, and that on the first Monday in July the bond of treasury examiners- shall take steps to put the new depository law in to active operation. To get a little closer to the defense of the bonding company a little ancient history will have to be unearthed. Years ago it was the custom of county treas urers to bring the state's money to the treasury in grip sacks. The county treasurer was allowed ten cents per mile for mileage and five dollars per day for the time that he was gone from his office on the trip. Counting this up for 105 counties it will be quickly re alized that the total sum was a large one. But it was necessary to do this at the time because the law held the state treasurer responsible for any drafts which were sent to him, and so the only safe way was to have the money brought to his office in currency. To do away with the expense of these 105 junketing trips twice each year, the legislature passed a law saying that the county treasurers shall remit drafts, but that the state treasurer should not give a receipt for any of them until they are collected. In this way began the phrase of "state money in the pro cess of collection," and opened TEe way for the treasurer's graft which has been a disgrace to the state. Treasurers from that time on began the custom of simply leaving the money collected on the drafts in the banks through which they were sent and col lecting interest on it on their personal accounts. In this way Kelly claims that the First National bank which was his medium here and which was owned by C. J. Devlin, his chief bondsmen, got $547,000 for collection from over the state at the time that It failed. He declares that none of the money which is credit ed to the state on its books was put into the bank after March 18 at which time the new depository law went into effect. He will also try to show that since March 18 he placed no money in the First National bank, but in batiks at Wichita, Hutchinson, Kansas City and some other Kansas, towns. That will be the story of the defense which the Scranton company and Kelly will put up. Gossip about the state house is that this point is one over which Governor Hoch and his ad visers are now haggling and which prevents them from carrying into ef fect their already defined intention to collect for the state's loss in the First National bank from Kelly's surety bond. Governor Hoch is absolutely silent on the matter. He refused again this morning to talk about the Kelly trour ble in one way or the other. "I have not a thing to say," was his retort, "I will not talk about it." Attorney General Coleman is getting the suit ready. I am working on the preliminaries and trying to shape them up," was his only Informing answer in regard to a question in the matter. "I follow my -usual custom, namely, to say nothing about the state's affairs, just as I would say nothing about my private legal affairs. There is one thing, however, that I am getting aw fully tired of, and that is to have the newspapers say that I am not ready, and that the suit may be filed in a few days. I see no necessity of that kind of talk. I have given out no Statements in regard to the matter and I do not intend to. That is all there is about it." But the whispers about the state house have it that the suit will come within three or four days. Yet it is known that Coleman, and the rest of Hoch's advisers are tangled up on the proposition that all the money in the First National bank had been placed there before March 18. The. are just a little at loss as to knowing how to get at the matter. WHY PENNY LEFT. Washburn Did Not Carry Out Agree ment as He Understood It. L. H. Greenwood, one of the trus tees of Washburn college, said in his interview yesterday: "The resignation of Prof. Penny depended primarily upon a question of salary. There is the kindliest feeling towards him on the part of the board of trustees and the college authorities and we have nothing to criticize him for- in the manner of his conduction of the de partment which he had in charge. I don t know what his plans are. n The loss of Prof. Penny to Wash burn college is a serious one. The loss to Topeka and Kansas would be a. greater one unless Tie decides to re main in Topeka in connection with the Kansas School of Music and Fine Arts. The facts of the matter are that Prof. Penny has made a wonderful success of the department of music in Washburn since he took charge. He made it a greater success than even the Washburn people expected. Penny's unusual success was the cause of the differences. The department under him was so prosperous that it encouraged jealousies. His agreement With the institution was for a -salary of $1,500 and a certain percentage of the receipts of the department. The at tendance was so greatly increased and the receipts from the students in mu sic so large tht Penny, while bringing funds to the college, was making a little more money than the president of the institution, which, of course, was a lamentable affair. About a year ago the college scaled down Mr. Penny's contract and he con sented to it. although, believing the Among Other Furnishing Goods Values, 50c Sweaters, 15c This section will liavs an exceedingly strong list of bar gains on sale tomorrow.

Lately the authori ties went further and passed a resolu tion that no professor should receive a larger income than $2,400. This was directed at Prof. Penny, with a possi ble application to Prof. Klingenberg, as no other professors were securing as much as $2,400, and the president himself was only receiving $2,500. Prof. Klingenberg is conceded to be one of the greatest artists and instruc tors on the piano who ever came to Topeka and he disliked methods which have caused Penny to resign. It is to be hoped that Washburn will not lose many more such men as Klingenberg, Ellis, Orimsley and Pen ny who were doing valuable work and making a high reputation for the col lege in their respective lines. Mr. Penny left the University of Kansas where he had given excellent satisfaction, and held what was prac tically a life position. He left with the best wishes of the chancellor and the members of the faculty, and his relations have remained pleasant with them ever since. Penny came to To peka simply because he believed that Lawrence, could never become as a city a great musical center apart from w hatever the university might, bring to it. He realized that Topeka as the capital and a center generally possess ed flattering prospects for becoming one of the great musical "cities of the west, and he believed he could do good for the canital citv and himself. It was through Mr. Penny that To peka set about to secure the great pipe organ now in the Auditorium. He has now in hand many plans in view for entertainments in connection with the organ. A number of them will be free entertainments after the organ is paid for and before.tl-rat time the charge will be merelv nominal to go into the pipe organ fund. In this connection he has a number of entertaining lec tures to be illustrated by over two thousand lantern slides, his own prop erty. It is to be hoped that he will complete arrangements for establishing- the school of music, although he has various opportunities to go to New York city and the east, as he is really one of the great organists of the United States. He is at present in New York city studying out new pro grammes and plans on pipe organ work fcr the coming season. His ad dress is 71 West One Hundred and Thirty-third street. Expect Fight to Be Lively. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 2. The fight Friday nisht at the Colma club between Jimmv Gardner and Rufe Turner of Stockton. Cal.. is arousing more interest here among fight fans than any battV-ror some time. This is probably due to the fact that Gardner never has been seen here in a ring, and that Turner Is a fighter who can be counted on to put up a great battle. Gardner has laid on flesh and is having a hard time reducing, but with plenty of road work and gym exer cise he should be down to weight by Fri day. A crowd went over to see Gardner yesterdav. They all came away with a great opinion of him after seeing him put through his paces, and whpn the betting opens Turner may not be as top heavy a favorite as was at first predicted. Groh man and Mustro of Stockton can see nothing to it but the black whirlwind, and insisted upon making the small end of the purse 25 per cent for the loser. Five hun dred Stocktonians will come down to see Turner fisht. Kansas May Get Some of It. San Jose. Cal., Aug. 2. Rev. R. T. Besse, a retired minister of this city, today donated $50,000 to the Wes leyan Methodist church for educating ministers and missionaries at the Wesleyan seminary at Houghton, N. Y. Ten years ago he gave $40,000 for similar purposes. A university in Kansas or Iowa may be founded with part of the money. KELLY HAS MONEY. Says That State Won't Stamp Warrants "Not Paid." According to Treasurer Kelly and Assistant- Auditor James Nation the re port sent out from the state house last week that the stamp "Not Paid For Want Of Funds" will have to be used within a few days, was an erroneous one. "I am 'not using it now and I do not see any early chance of using it," said Kelly. "There is money on hand to pay the bills. That story went out of here like a whole lot of others. It was sim ply made up.. I am sure that I did not give it out and I .would like to know who else would know." "Give out some figures, Mr. Kelly, on that subject," was asked of him. "I haven't any to give out," was his response.. '.'I don't need to give them out. The story had no business to be printed in the first place. There was nothing authentic about it. That is all I have to say." Assistant Auditor Nation stated that at the first of July there was over $300,000 in the state treasury and that more has been coming in ever since.
