CONGRATULATORY Siners, Emperors and Statesmen Suite in Paying Tribute To President Roosevelt for His Part in Arranging Peace. WORLD IS HIS DEBTOR Says the Chinese Ambassador to the United States. Bryan Says His Work Reflects Credit on the Nation. Oyster Bay, Aug. 30. Crowned heads of !he world unite with distinguished statesmen of America and Europe in ac cording the glory of peace between Rus sia and Japan to President Roosevelt. 4 Throughout last night and today tele grams of congratulation poured upon the president in a flood. They came from persons of high degree and from all quarters of the civilized world. Among the messages received was one from the king of England as follows: Let me be the first to congratulate you on the successful issue of the peace conference to which you have so greatly contributed." Soon afterward a notably cordial ca blegram was received from Emperor William of Germany. It reads; -Just received cable from America announc ing agreement of peace conference on preliminaries of peace; I'm overjoyed; express most sincere congratulations at the great success due to your untiring efforts. The whole of mankind must unite and will do so in tharking you I for the great boon you have given it." Ambassador Jusserand ot France, sent thimessage: "London President Roose velt Heartiest, warmest congratula tions.'' Then came telegrams from diplomatic representatives of foreign governments in this country. They follow; "Lenox, Mass Secretary to the president Please submit to the president my most cordial congratula tions upon success of his efforts to bring about peace. Durand." "Amherst The President I beg to of ler my hearty congratulations for the successful end of your endeavors which the whole world, especially the orient is over indebted to you. Chen Tung Lianer Chung." "Washington President Roosevelt I beg to offer you. Mr. President, on be half of the Italian government and of myself as representative of I my august fa-overeign, heartfelt congratulations for c. your great success in reestablishing peace. Italy, who since her constitution, lias endeavored to be an element and factor of harmony among nations, will greatly admire and praise the work you brought on for the benefit of humanity. I Mayor des' Planches." "Paris President Roosevelt Frofund ly happy at the result of the negotia tions which assures a peace honorable to both nations and in which you have taken so fruitful a part. Cassini." William J. Bryan sent a message cred iting the president with the peace agree ment as follows: "Accept congratula tions. Your successful efforts to secure peace between Russia and Japan reflect credit on the nation." The president passed the day quiet ly. A tremendous storm raged over Long Island during the early morning and the president remained within doors most of the time. A few person al friends constituted a luncheon party entertained by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, but none of them had busi ness of public importance. Treaty Will Be Signed at Portsmouth. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug.30. The great strain under which envoys, attaches, correspondents and summer guests have been laboring for three weeks, is over. Peace is concluded. Only the actual framing of the treaty and formalities of its signing remain. It has been decided that the room in the conference build ing where the envoys yesterday came to agreement, shall be the scene of the iinal act in the treaty of Portsmouth, which is to put an end to this historic war. The plenipotentiaries yesterday adjourned subject to call and unless nOme unexpected dispute arises, there will not be another formal meeting un til the draft of the treaty is complete. And even should a controversy occur it will not necessarily compel a formal mertlng as the envoys living under the Fame roof are in a position to consult freely either in person or by letter. Mr. Te Martens and Mr. Denison, acting re spectively for Russia and Japan, have already begun the work of redrafting the treaty and their first meeting will be held this afternoon. Mr. De Martens is receiving valuable assistance from Mr. Pokotiloff, who, cn account of his thorough familiarity with the whole far eastern situation and especially the leases of Port Ar thur and the Liao Tung peninsula, and nil matters affecting the Chinese East ern railroad, is particularly qualified to render aid. When the signatures are attached the exchange of ratifications bv the emperors alone will remain. Emperor Nichalos in the credentials given to Mr. Witte formally pledged his word to approve any treaty his plenipotentiary would sign. While the credentials of Baron Komura. under regular Jap anese procedure, reserved to the mi kado the right to sanction the treaty, that is regarded as a mere formalitv. The Russians continue to regard the agreement reached as a wonderful diplomatic victory. The highest Rus sian authority speaking of what would have happened if peace had not been made, said: 'l consider the militarv situation from the Russian standpoint in the most favorable light. Assume that the Russian arms would have been suc t cessful. Linevitch victorious might have forced Oyama back to Liaovang, possibly to Haicheng-. But with the Russian fleet destroyed he could never venture into Liao Tung peninsula. We could not have recrossed the Yalu into Korea. We could nover have retaken Sakhalin. Practically we obtain in this treaty what we would have had to buy with victories. Had defeats come w ho knows what else we should in the end have been obliged to yield." Mitch Tn written History. Portsmouth. Aug. 30. Much inter esting history behind the peace confer ence remains to be written. No one knows exactly what considerations in duced the Tokio government to waive all demands for cash. While it is known that the president was con- i tinuing his labors to the last it is not I possible to make any definite state-, tnent as to wheUier a.t tka eud be ad- 1 vised Japan to forego entirely punitive demands. It can be stated, however, on the authority of the Japanese mis sion that he was originally of the opinion that Japan should not demand indemnity and it is therefore possible he may have urged this view at Tokio. In his communication to Emperor Nicholas through Ambassador Meyer last week while the Japanese were in sisting upon indirect remuneration for the cost of the war it is known as pre viously stated in these dispatches that he urged upon the czar the expediency of accepting a compromise by which the redemption price of the north half of Sakhalin should be determined by some sort of impartial commission. All the senseless gossip about Emperor William throwing his influence against peace is now completely exploded. In addition to the authorized denial sent by Prince von Buelow to the Asso ciated Press, the Russian envoys have received information direct from Peterhof showing that the emperor was urging peace upon the czar. Pope Congratulates the Czar. Rome, Aug. 30. The pope wa9 in formed of the conclusion of peace early this morning. He immediately rose exclaiming: "This is the happiest news of my life. Thank God for Presi dent Roosevelt's courage." The pontiff later telegraphed his congratulations to Emperor Nicholas. Boom in Bonds. Berlin. Aug. 30. On the bourse to day there was lively speculation. Rus sian bonds rose 3 points, and nearly everything else, both home and for eign, went up from 1 to 2 0 points. Rothschilds Is Pleased. London. Aug. 30. Baron Roths childs, the banker, was seen by a cor respondent at his office today. He ex pressed his unqualified pleasure at the conclusion of peace. Edward Sends Congratulations. Marienbad, Austria, Aug. 30. King Edward, upon receipt of the peace news, immediately dispatched his con gratulations to the emperors of Japan and Russia and to President Roose velt, and also telegraphed to Queen Alexandra his joy at receiving such news. Russian Bonds Advance. Paris, Aug. 30. Trading on the bourse today was extremely active on the news of conclusion of peace, Rus sians rising with a bound. Russian imperial 4s of 1901 rose over 6 fratics and those of 1904 rose 20 francs. The price of Russian bonds of 1901 was 95.4 5 and that of the bonds of 1904, 528.00. Germans Are With Cs. Berlin, Aug. 30. Chancellor von Buelow, after reading in a cable which came from the Associated Press with the announcement of peace and an outline of the terms of the agreement, says: "In their re ception of this fortunate result the German advocates of peace are in full agreement with the Americans." Roosevelt Congratulates the Mikado. Oyster Bay. August 30. In a letter to Baron Komura, the peace envoy of Jap an to the Washington peace conference, the president extended his congratula tions upon the wisdom and the mag nanimity manifested by Japan in the negotiations. The letter says: "My Dear Baron Komura I have re ceived your letter of August 29. May I ask you to convey to his majesty, the emperor of Japan, my earnest congratu lations upon the wisdom and magnani mity he and the Japanese people have displayed. I am sure that all civilized mankind share this feeling with me. Sincerely yours Theodore Roosevelt." Brings No .Toy to St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Aug. 30. The peace news was received here without any manifestations of joy. The city shows absolutely no evidence of the feeling among the tidings. It can safely be said however, thmat the general feeling among the more intelligent classes is that justice has been cione at Port mouth. Expressions of relief are heard that there will be no further bloodshed but the "inglorious peace" is a dis appointment to many. The suddenness with which the Japanese finally ac cepted the Russian ultimatum makes many people believe the cession of Sak halin to have been premature while a large element of the people seem of the opinion that another trial at arms with its chances of victory would have been preferable to the present peace. The reception of the news here shows plainly that the war has been foreign to the masses who in no sense have been in sympathy with its objects. The more intelligent classes of the popula tion have never shown an ycapacity for appreciating the plass or ideas as the government and seem to have lost sight of the vital interests of the state be cause of the revelations of official cor ruption discovered in the Yalu enter prise and as a result of th eunprepaied ness and incapacity of the army and navy to cope with the problem and also because they have been fully occupied at home with the struggle to obtain a representative government. A FLOOD OF TELEGRAMS. Pours in on the Peace Envoys From All Over the World. Portsmouth. Aug. 30. The flood of telegrams which began to pour in upon the plenipotentiaries as soon as the news was flashed to the world con tinued all nieht and all day. From all parts ot the globe thev kept comine. Practically all were full of praise and congratulation but occasionally there were words of reproach for each party. The admirers of Japan and Russia in America fairly bombarded the heads of the respective missions. Neither side would give out the messages. No final arrangements about an armistice have yet been agreed to. Mr. Takahira said that as soon as the treaty, was signed he and Baron Ko mura would so to Oyster Bay to thank President Roosevelt personally. The members of the Japanese colony today are getting over their disappointment, recognizing that peace even without money remuneration is better than continuance of the war. Unless there is a change of programme the treaty of peace will be signed in the navy general stores at the navy yard. In this case it will go down in history as the treaty of Portsmouth. The report that the envoys have formally agreed that such shall be its name is, however, incorrect. The name of a treaty has rarely if ever, been the subject of an official agreement. It is recalled, that in the preliminary negotiations it was the understanding thit wherever the conference might be forced to hold its sessions the treaty, should one result, was to be signed in Washington. Whether this plan will be abandoned will depend in a meas ure upon the time which the drafting of the convention will require. It also will depend upon whether President Roosevelt responds to the general wish that he shall witness the historical event. If the president consents to be present the plenipotentiaries will un doubtedly adjourn to whatever place best suits his convenience Oyster Bay or Washington. If the president comes to Portsmouth he would stay on board the Mai-flower which in now at tbd NEW DEVLIN MOVE Underwriting Corporation. Pro posed for Bankrupt Companies. Hinges Upon Amount of Assets and Liabilities. ACCOUNTANTS AT WORK All Depends Upon the Keport of the Auditors. Conference to Be Held in Chicago Soon. A plan to finance the properties and interests of C. J. Devlin, bankrupt, is now on foot. It is the intention of a number of eastern capitalists, Chicago and New York, to form a close corpor ation, purchase the claims of the credi tors and secure the discharge of the re ceivers by the United States district court. The creditors of Devlin, will under this plan if it is carried through, receive the full amount of their claims. The company will then secure absolute con trol of the Devlin properties and man age them according to a policy which will be outlined by those interested. C. J. Devlin will secure a certain per centage of the surplus remaining after all obligations are met. This percent age will be agreed upon by him and the parties forming the 4 underwriting corporation. To secure an accurate idea of the amount of the assets and liabili ties involved in the properties, expert accountants have been engaged to go over the accounts and report their find ings to the members of the company which is being promoted. Haskins and Sells, the expert accountants who were employed to go over the books at the state house, are engaged upon the ex amination of the Devlin properties and the report will be submitted, it is ex pected, within the next ten days. A conference will be held in Chicago the latter part of this week by those in terested in the venture and at that time the full plan will be discussed. Though as vet the details are not perfected there is sufficient foundation to the scheme to excite the interest of a number of the creditors who reside in Topeka and who have been made aware of the intended movement. It is stated on good authority that the corporation will not have any of the creditors of Mr. Devlin in its back ing. This corporation to underwrite the property will have no connection whatever with the holding corporation which was first proposed at a Kansas City meeting early in July and in which C. S. Gleed and J. W. Gleed were moving spirits. Neither will B. P. Cheney of Boston have a voice or part in the affairs of the Tiew -company. It is entirely separate and distinct. A number of Topeka parties, it is stated, will take part in the conference at Chicago. Receiver Bradley of the First Na tional bank will move his headquarters to the Real Estate building about the 9th of September. He said today: "We are to give possession at about the 11th of next month, but I expect that we will be moved out of here by the 9th, that is on Saturday. I have been of fered $28,000 for the Real Estate building but I would not think of dis posing of the property at that price; it is worth $35,000. I have received sev eral offers for the First National bank building, but there is nothing more to them than talk." In speaking of the run upon the Bank of TOpeka, he continued: "There should not be the least cause for alarm upon the part of the depositors of the banks in this city. Every one of them is solvent and could secure more than sufficient money to pay off their de positors in full. -Every bank in town is in good condition. I don't blame the working man and the widow for be coming scared and drawing out their money. It is their all and they don't know the condition and become easily worked up by needless alarms." MERELY UNFORTUNATE. Dr. Salmon Didn't Really Do Anything Wrong. Washington, Aug. 30. The investi gation of charges that Dr. D. E. Sal mon, chief of the bureau of animal in dustry of the agricultural department, was a member of the "Howard Label cbmpany" of Washington, which has the contract to rurnisn meat inspection tags to the government, was concluded today and that official exonerated af any wrongdoing. -It was determined also that his administration oi me meat inspection service had been as fair as appropriations warranted. Secretary Wilson maae mis com ment: "Inquiry discolses the fact that Dr. Salmon had an unfortunate con nection with the firm of George How ard Co. While this connection was not an ideal relation for a government official to have with a firm doing busi ness with the government, I am con vinced that Dr. Salmon never intended to profit by wrork done by Mr. Howard for the department, and that he has not received any benefit from the con tract of that company with the depart ment. The case does not seem to call for further disciplinary action." navy yard. The people of Portsmouth are not only anxious that the President shall come here but they insist that the treaty shall be called the treaty of Portsmouth. So desirous are they to link the conference with Portsmouth's history that they suggested the treaty be signed in the Wentworth hotel, a historical mansion here. It was pointed out that it was quite inappropriate thus to drag the con ference into Portsmouth's local his tory, as the conference if it is called the Portsmouth conference, will take its name from the Portsmouth navy yard. A brilliant scene will mark the sign ing of the treaty. The members of both missions will attend the final ses sions wearing full diplomatic and mili tary uniforms; A series of photographs will probably be taken showing eaeh of the plenipotentiaries in the act ol signing. The reason the envoys are anxious that the president should wit ness the signing is that he may be in the historic painting of the conference which some distinguished painter will produce. This valuable picture will j eventually find lodgement in the White I House. CHAINING ET.TiFTRY HERE. Director of Italian Band Arranging for Auditorium, Concerts. Mr. Charming Ellery, founder and proprietor of the famous Ellery band arrived in Topeka today and is stopping at the National hotel. Mr. Ellery comes direct from Chicago, where his band is now playing the sev enth week of its engagement at the Coliseum Garden. The Ellery band is the parent of all the Italian bands now in America and not less than seven or eight leaders are Ellery graduates, in cluding the- sensational Creatore and Sorrentoin of the Banda Rossa. Mr. Ellery's present leader is Francisco Fentllo, a young Neapolitan but twenty-six years of age. "The best short description I can give of him and his work," said the manager "is to quote a conversation I overheard in Chi cago last Friday night between two prominent musical enthusiasts. It was just after the band had finished play ing Wagner's 'Walkure.' Said one en thusiast to the other while the tears glistened in his eyes 'I believe that the spirt of God stands back of that boy and guides him in his work. 'Not so,' replied his companion, 'the spirit ot God is right in his soul and works up der direct inspiration." The Ellery band will play at the Au ditorium on the evenings of Sept. 11 and 12 for the benefit of the pipe organ fund. HOCH IS SILENT. Will Not Reply to Attack by Secretary Dexter. "It is my opinion that the Rev. W. L. Dexter should consider his words more carefully before he speaks." This is the only statement which Governor E. W. Hoch would make today concerning the savage attack made on him by Mr. Dexter, in con nection with the latter's resignation from the office or secretary of the Kansas State Temperance union. Mr. Dexter charged that the saloons, gambling houses and disorderly places are running without molestation in To peka, and charges that Governor Hoch is making no effort to compel the county officers to improve the situ ation. "What will you do about the situ ation here in Shawnee county?" was asked. "I don't care to talk about that," replied the governor. There is no doubt that the present situation is a source of great annoy, ance to Governor Hoch. He has adopt' ed the policy of "giving the local offi cers a chance." and has made stren. uous efforts to induce the local offi cers to enforce the prohibitory, law, and satisfy public clamor. So far this system has been working very well, and in most of the counties the county attorney and sheriff have kept the joints pretty well closed up. Naturally Governor Hoch does not like to get into the disagreeable liquor fight any more than he can help, and some of his friends have tried to engi neer things to keep him out of it alto gether. One of tfnyn sard a few days "I believe that this prohibition prob lem, which confronts each governor. will take care of itself. The present policy of the governor seems to be working well, and there is no -reason why it should not continue to work well." Governor Hoch may be forced by public sentiment to take some radical action in Shawnee county. The tem perance people lay great stress on the iniquity of having joints "right under the shadow of the capitol" and there is some reason to believe that Mr. Dexter's letter will cause the governor to advise the appointment of an as sistant attorney general for this coun ty. This plan was tried once and did not accomplish anything, however. Hence Governor Hoch is worried. He dislikes to stir up a fight on him self among the "wet" county officials, and yet his natural inclination is to do everything possible to enforce the law. CHIEF GOODWIN INVESTIGATES. Found Workingmen Not Working But Drin kins Beer. Chief Goodwin ent dows on First arid Jefferson streets this morning in search of Luther Nellis' "joint." He found a row of unfinished buildings, and in one of them a keg of beer and a picnic pump. The twelve or fifteen laborers who were working on the buildings were lapping up the keg of beer at a lively rate. When th chief of police dropped in they broke away from the keg and explained that "Bob Nicely, a veteran jointiat, who is erecting the new buildings, was furnishing brew with the idea that it made the laborers put on more steam and work faster. Nellis came into Mayor Davis' office Tuesday and announced that a new joint was started at 102 North Jeffer son street. "And it isn't right," continued Mr. Nellis. "We are renting four houses in the same block, and it interferes with our tenants." The policeman on the "Bottoms" beat will be instructed to keep an eye on the place and see that it does not turn in to a bona fide joint s soon as the buildings are completed. Nicely s building seven houses on two sides of the block, and the building where the workmen were drowning their thirst is on the corner. SULTAN REFUSES. He WiU Not Comply With the Demand of France. Tangier, Aug. 30. The sultan has re plied by letter to the French minister, St. Rene Talliandier, that he continues to regard the recently arrested French Algerian merchant Bousain as a Mo roccan subject and will refuse to com ply with the demand of France for his liberation. Silver Takes a Drop. London, Aug. 30. The price of bar silver dropped to 27d per ounce to day. The declaration of peace caused speculators to offer freely owing to the idea that the metal will not be wanted so much. Weds a Poor Girl In Secret. La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 30. Harry Hol way, heir to the rich estate of the late N. E. Holway, lumberman, was secretly married in Minneapolis to Miss Eunice Merrill, a North side girl of poor par entage. The wedding was entirely un expected. The Holway estate is one of the largest la LaCrosse. THE RUN1S ENDED No Excitement Among Bank of Topeka Depositors Today. 1'atrons Hare Ceased to With draw Their Money. MANY OFFERS OFHELP Large Sum of Currency, Was Received Yesterday. Walter Patrick Unintentionally Responsible for Flurry. The resolutions adopted by the busi ness men in a mass meeting, express ing absolute confidence In the Bank of Topeka, the publishing of the statements of the bank officials and the source of the unfounded rumors concerning the bank, resulted in put ting an end to the run on the bank, and this morning when the doors were opened at 9 o'clock the business at the Bank of Topeka was of the usual nature with no excitement and no anxious depositors crowding in front of the paying teller's window. The Run Is Ended. As soon as the news became current outside of Topeka, that the Bank of To peka was being subjected to a light run, J. R. Mulvane, the president, re ceived about 25 offers of help, all of them for large sums. The most pretentious, and one that probably could have taken care of the entire situation, no matter how serious, came from the National-Bank of Com merce of Kansas City. Mr. Mulvane re ceived the following letter Tuesday af ternoon: Dear Mr. Mulvane: We are shipping you currency today, and you need look to no one else. We will send you all you need. I understand you are keep ing, open this evening, and we await your further orders. We will not hesi tate to take care of you for the full. ttiuuuxii: oi our aeposus. Sincerely yours, W. H. RULE, Cashier. Three bankers, one from Wichita, one from Arkansas City and one from Law rence, came to Topeka on Tuesday af ternoon on the first trains they could take after hearing of the run, and in formed Mr. Mulvane that they would each send him $100,000 if he desired it. Probably fifteen different persons in this city offered the bank sums ranging from $5,000 to $23,000. One man came into the institution this morning, and going up to Mr. Thurston, the cashier, said: "I have $25,000 right now that I am not using. I am not a customer of your bank, but if you want that money you can have it immediately." Just then the telephone rang. "No, thank you," was. the closing answer of Mr. Thurston after talking for a little while. "There was a business man," said Mr. Thurston, wheeling around, "who wanted to give us $10,000 if we needed it. We have had offers of that kind from a large number of different parties. But we -will not take them. We are fully prepared to meet any contin gency." One quarter of a million of dollars of currency was shipped into the Bank of Topeka from outside points this morn ing and yesterday afternoon. The bank itself sent out $98,000 worth of exchange .paper. Heavy deposits came in all day yesterday and are coming today, ana they will run up to large figure.- There was no need of help today. A few small depositors who had not seen the newspapers -withdrew money from the bank this morning between half past eight and half past nine o'clock. The bank opened a half hour earlier to accommodate all comers. At noon the flurry was ended. Noth ing else was going on about the bank than the usual volume of business. "The trouble has entirely subsided," said Mr. Mulvane. "We appreciate the attitude of the people of the city and the news papers. We are going after the person who started this rumor and if we catch him will deal with him summarily. This boy may have overheard the talk. About that I don't know. But we intend to sift the matter further and get to the bottom of it if possible." A boy started the run on the bank. He is 16 years old; and did not know the serious consequences which might result from the gossip which he re peated. Walter Patrick is the boy who startled financial circles. He is employed at the cigar store of George D. Anderson, at b32 .Kansas avenue. The boy heard two strangers talking abwut the bank on Saturday and un derstood one of them to say that the institution was unsafe. He went home and, told his mother.. She told J. R, Davidson,, her brother, the man who was the first to withdraw his de posit, as v as announced yesterday. Mr. Davidson withdrew $2,500 which he had in the institution, and told a couple of his friends concerning, the rumor. Then the rumor spread over the city and a small run was started on the bank. All day Tuesday small de positors withdrew their savings. Prompt action by the business men of the city, however, checked the feel ing of alarm, and this morning there were no indications of continued un easiness and withdrawals of de posits. T do not think that we will be bothered any further,'! said J. W. Thurston, cashier ot the Bank of Topeka,-this morning. "We -have prac tically a quarter of a million dollars in currency on.-hand and can get any amount we need.- We are ready .to pay anyone who comes along. People are like sheep in a matter of this kind. I think that I shall put a basket of nerve food on my desk and let the people get at that before they reach the window." The discovery of the origin of the rumor resulted from the statement printed in Tuesday evening's State Journal that a committee of business men and a number of detectives were busy looking for the person who started it. Young Walter Patrick be came badly scared and straightway confessed that possibly he was unin tentionally responsible for the run. The boy is the son of George Patrick. He said that the men. he overheard talking were entire strangers to him, and he simply went home and told his mother about it. Taft Will Sail Tomorrow. Manila, Aug. 30. The transport Logan with Secretary Taft and party will sail for Japan tomorrow, August 31, at noon. WEATHER REMAINS PLEASANT. Mercury Around the Warm Tempera ture Points on Thermometer.

Speaker Stnbbs Says Bonding Com pany Should Reimburse State. There was quite an animated discus sion among the bankers Tuesday after noon while they were waiting in the state treasurer's office for the action of the state depository board, concerning the question of surety company and personal bonds in general, and the state treasurer's bond in particular. Most of the bankers thought that a surety company bond is the proper thing. "Did you ever hear of a surety com pany that paid its big losses?" asked one banker, who stood up for the personal bond system. "Yes, I have," said W. R. Stubbs. "Out in San Francisco they paid a $100, 000 loss within 30 days. It is my opinion that a well established bonding com pany is the safest bonding proposition there is. It is the little, unimportant companies that fight their big losses. -I am considerably surprised that the fi delity Guaranty company of Balti more does not come up and pay its $250,000 bond, instead of fighting. I don't know anything about this Title Guaranty Trust company. "The state has adopted exactly the right course in proceeding against these bonding companies. It gave each com pany a reasonable time to investigate and nay up. When the companies fail ed to pay, then the state proceeded to the courts for redress." "How can you expect a bonding com pany to pay up until it knows it has lost?" asked Walter Payne, Treasurer Kelly's chief clerk. "The loss exists already," replied Stubbs. "But suppose the bank pays out in full, then there Is no loss," answered Payne. "The loss exists right now," said Stubbs' "The state hasn't got the mon ey, has it?" FILIPINOS ARE UNFIT. It Would Be Cruel to Grant Them Self Government. Manila, Aug. 30. The last session of the conference with the agitators for the independence of the Philippines developed the fact, according to a con sensus of opinion among the congress men present, that the Filipinos are al together unfit for immediate independ ence. Apart from the problems pre sented in the civilization of the Igor rotes, the Moros, Macabebes and other tribes, it would be-, cruel, it is be lieved, to the people of the Islands at. large to turn them over to the mercy of demagogues. They would then ex perience the worstkind of exploitation. The statements of the speakers at the meeting were widely divergent. TIED UP BY STRIKE. All Kinds of Business at a Standstill at Ubau. Libau, Russia, Aug. 30. A general strike has been brought about here by the order for the mobilization of troops. No factories are running, port loading has been discontinued and the street railroads have stopped operations. Steam railroad communication has been interrupted and there are no newspapers issued. The arrival of reservists from the neighboring country districts .has added to the confusion as well a to the possibilities of disorder. The situ ation is growing tense and many sol diers patrol the streets. CHASE FOR A SHAM CRIPPLE. Police Have Hard Time to Catch Well Known Crook. Cincinnati, Aug. 30. John Gorman, who has a long police record, has been hobbling about the streets for the past month with a cane, and has excited sympathy because of his apparently helpless condition. The other evening, however, he did a sprint that leads the police to be lieve that he has been shamming. He broke a glass in the window of the barber shop of John Smith at Third and Main streets and crawled In. John White heard the crash and went to investigate.

Were Willing to Pay Interest on That Amount. Bate Ranges From Two to Orer Three Per Cent. After- a secret session lasting from 2 o'clock until nearly 5 o'clock Tuesdav afternoon, the state board of treasury- examiners completed their list of award under the new state depository law. Each of the 45 banks which bid were" given a share in the deposits. Those who bid over 2 per cent were allowed all they asked for, and those who bid 3 per cent, the minimum, were scaled down about 20 per cent. The highest bid was per cent. The total amount asked for in all the bids was il,226,000. It was estimated by the board that the state would never have more than $1,000,000 to deposit, and the 2 per cent bids were therefore scaled down on the million dollar basis. It is estimated, however, that as a general thing each bank will have about half as much on hand in deposits as ma maximum entities him to receive. Under the law. the banks have until September 30 to deposit their bonds with the state treasurer and thus qualify as state depositories. P. W. Goebel, of Mi ami county, representing banks at Pa ola and Kansas City, had his bonds with him, and deposited them with the state treasurer immediately. His banks are now ready to begin their work as state depositories. It was decided to) have another meeting ot the board on September 13 to approve the bonds of such banks as are ready at that time. This will enable the state to put the law Into actual operation next month. Kate Bank Amt. Pet.

The money has been turned over to Governor Hoch, and is, so. far as known, the first actual cash con tribution. Mr. Berry says in his letter: "I read in your paper about Mother Florence. She must have been a great woman. Please find enclosed-$5 for her memorial." That is all, but it shows what a man will do toward this cause who apparently knows nothing of Mother Florence except what he has read about her. No plans have yet been formulated for the Florence memorial, but it is expected that Gov ernor Hoch will call a meeting within a few days and a committee be ap pointed to receive funds.

2 STILL JUPPING. White Sox Are Still on the Descent. Trying to Pull Hole in After Them. 6 RUINS IN 2 ISMNGS. Kick Carter Was an Easy Victim for Leavenworth. Henry Was Fined and Sent Off the Grounds. Leavenworth, Aug. SO. Nick Carter was knocked out of the box by Leav enworth on Tuesday afternoon in Ihe first two innings and six runs secured off his slants. That settled the fate of the contest before the west fence of the grand stand began throwing very much shade on the green sward. Tom Hughes relieved him and was prac tically Invincible, but the struggle was over before he entered the squared circle. Catcher Jack Henry got into trouble as usual. He tried to bully-rag Umpire Lewlnson over a decision on balls and strikes. The belligerent Topeka catch er "sassed" Mort pretty hard, and re ceived a $15 plaster, and free trans portation to leave the grounds at once. Lazotte was brought in from right field to don the mask and mattress, and McKelvey took care of the sun garden. Jay Andrews' work for the Topeka team was the feature. It was his first appearance In white stockings. Three hits out of four times up, one put-out and a clean bill of health in the error column was his good record. Dunn played second base. Lyons has not yet reported. He is looked for today. TOPEKA. Player AB. H. PO. A. E. Cole.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if it stains the linen it is evidence of kidney, trouble; too frequent desire to pass it, or pain in the back is also con vincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

Schedule Is Arranged by Prof. W. C. Lansdon for K. U. 7La,wTence- Kan.,, Aug. 30. Professor w. c. Lansdon, the new athletic man ager at the University of Kansas, has prepared a schedule for the freshman football team that is to be made a feature of the fall athletic training here this year that will give plenty of interesting games to the youngsters of the school. The schedule is entirely independent of that arranged for the first team, and will necessitate more systematic. tra in ing than is usually given the second team. An assistant coach will be se cured to handle the freshmen espe cially, and to assist Dr. Kennedy in rounding the first team men into shape. The choice for this assistant ship probably lies between "Shorty" Hami'l, the famous guard and tackle of a few years ago, and Hicks, the end and captain of last year. The- fresh men will have separate training quar ters and a uniform that will be dis tinctive. There is a great deal of good football material coming to school this fall, and there will be no lack of ma terial for the first class team. The schedule arranged by Manager Lansdon is as follows: September 23 Lawrence high school at Lawrence. September 30 Topeka high school at Lawrence. October 7 Wentworth Military academy at Lexington, Mo. October 14 Midland college at Atchison. October 20 Missouri State Normal at Warrensburg. October 27 Iola high school at tola. November 4 Kansas City Manuals at Lawrence. November 11 Fort Scott high school at Fort Scott. November 18 Haskell seconds at Lawrence. November 25- Kemper Military academy at Boonville. November 30 Missouri freshmen at Kansas City. HONORS FOR ATTELL. j Young Corbett Would Match Him in High Quarters. New York, Aug. 30. Abe Attell, the feather weight fighter, announces that he will sail for England Thursday, where he expects to take on Jem Bow ker. He has a backer, whose name has not been made nubile, but who has every confidence in the ability of his protege. Attell also feels confident of whipping Bowker. if he can get a match. The fighter's decision to go abroad was made rather suddenly. Even if he is not successful in getting a matcn with Bowker. he has no doubt of find ing plenty to keep him busy on the other side. He still has a go with the winner of the Britt-Nelson fight in mind. Young Corbett is willing to back him in this matter. 'I want to bet $4,000 against $5,- OffO," said -Young Corbett today, "that Abe Attell can whip the winner of the Britt-Nelson fight, and L am specially anxious to bet it if Britt is the winner, as he will be if the fight comes off as scheduled in the state of California. 'So certain am I that Britt will win under those conditions that I will bet right now $5,000 to $4,000 that Britt will win. That offer stands and I am ready to put my money up. time. If by chance the battlt -.lould be transferred outside of the state of California, I would bet my money just the other way on Nelson. But the Dane has not got a cnance in or around Frisco. That's what. I think of the 'native son' proposition. irbett's- Auto Accident. New York, Aug. '-30. James J. Cor bett ditched the-, automobile he was driving on Long Island, avoiding a col lision that probably' would have re sulted in the death or serious injury to the occupants of two cars. With his wife, Henry Meaicus, treasurer of the Brooklyn National league-ball team, and Mrs. Medicus, was driving a large touring car along Rocky. Hill road, about half way be tween Queens and Bayside. Corbett had Ju?. slowed down at a turn in the road when another car suddenly ap peared speeding straight for the Cor bett automobile. The other machine was approaching too rapidly to be dodged otherwise, so Corbett turned his car sharply to the right and ran it into a ditch at the side of the road. A- The automobile did not overturn. but Mrs. Corbett was thrown over the back seat and was severely bruised. Corbett was thrown out and landed in the middle of the road. Mr. and Mrs. Medicus escaped unhurt. Terry in Shape Again. New York, Aug. 30. "Terrible Terry" McGovern, completely recov ered from the physical and mental breakdown that put him out of the fighting game a few months ago, is now about to get into harness again. McGovern has been thoroughly ex amined by Dr. E. H. Quinn and pro nounced as nt mentally ana pnysicany as he ever was. Now the exchampion feather weight wants to get into the fighting game again, and is after the best boys in the business. First of all, Terry wants to make a match with the winner of the Britt Nelson fight. Failing to get this bout, he will do business with Abe Attell or Jabez White, the Briton. McGovern will be able to fight at 127 or 128 pounds. On Ithaca's Football Team. Ithaca. N. Y.. Aug. 30.

Dashing play won Wright his match with Larned, while consummate steadiness enabled Hobart to defeat Collins. The Wright-Larned contest was decided half an hour before Ho bart and Collins finished. Those who followed the latter match saw one of the hardest fought matches in the tournament. Twice Collina was within a few points of winning. Large Crowd at Providence. I Providence, R I.; Aug. 30. About 10,000 persons journeyed, to Narragan sett park, the: principal attraction be ing the Park Brew racing stakes, purse $5,000, -while Audobon Boy waa scheduled- to go after the coveted two minute mark. A strong wind caused the postponement of the latter feature, but the crowd saw six heats of the stake event raced, before the deciding heat went over to today, Allerson and Edwin C.- both having two heats to their credit, while the favorite. Walter Direct, after capturing the second and third heata, went lame in the fourth and was distanced. In the 2:20 trotting-class for a $2,000 purse, Harrison Wilkes won the first two heats, dropped the next two to Leonardo, and in the fifth heat took the race. In the 2:13 trotting class, Lizzie G-, driven by Al McDonald, had the pole in this race, and carried off both heats.

Yankee Consul, well backed, made a runaway race of the Partridge stakes, six furlongs on the grass. Jock ey Redfern was suspended for the re mainder of the meeting for disobedi ence at the post in the first race. Fleur de Marie, the favorite, with The Gleam in the fifth race, finished second, but was disqualified for interfering with Uiree horses near the finish. Racing at Latonia. Cincinnati, Aug. SO. The disquali- fication of Betsy out of third place in the third event in which a large field faced the barrier was the only thing that livened up matters at Latonia. Santa Lucia was given the short end of the purse. Two favorites won. Played 20 Inning Game. Pekin, III., Aug. 30. A 20 inning game was played here between the Rainbows and Athletics, thetormer team winning, 7 to 6. Each side had five runs at the end of the ninth in ning. Baseball Xotes. Both Philadelphia teams are in a rut now. Who says Jack Cronin is all in? He pitched a no-hit game against Montreal the other day. With McAllister absent behind the bat. Buffalo would be as helpless as a swal low in a rainstorm. Falkenbere and Adams surely have earned their right to become regulars on the Washington staff. The Nationals are steadily pulling away from the Browns and picking up on Bill Coughlin's Tigers. Cincinnati, it is said, has asked all the league clubs to waive claim to play ers Steinfeldt, Overall, Odwell, and Walker. Five shut-outs in one day in the two major leagues is a good criterion of what the pitchers are doing to tne rormer heavy batters,- Seven victories out of 'nine games played is the Nationals' record on the trip. It far surpassed that, of any of the other Eastern teams. It is hard to see where Chesbro is the best pitcher in the American League, according to Ban jonnson, witn waa dell and Tannehill right. As a run-getter. Miller Huggins clas ses with Sam Crawford. The Wahoo man is about as good as any player in the business in this respect. McGraw's Giants should take a day or two off and let the others get closer to them. That's the only way, it seems, that they will be able to do so. Comi8kev is reaching out "after new material. He has purchased Toni Dougherty, "Tip" O'Neill, Frank Hemp hill, and Harry Clark from the Mil waukee American Association club. Joe Cantillon. manager of the Mil waukee club, who was formerly an American League umpire, has received an offer to manage the Chicago Ameri cans next year and may accept. Stanley Roblson, who is managing the St. Louis Nationals, says that is long as his brother and he operate the team there will be no southpaw on it. Rob- ison hasn't said anything so funny for some time. Outfielder Eddie Hahn, of the New Orleans Southern League club, has been sold to the New York Americans. He is generally conceded to be the best gar dener in the South, and has been bat ting above the 300 mark. For a team that is picked to trail the- Amerlcan League, Washington maices a mighty hard fight. Ever since the Na tionals Dickea un a cross-eyea mascot In Cleveland they have been winning games. Detroit Journal. What a wonderful lot of players those White Sox are in the home grounas. Winnintr two double-headers in succes sion from the Bostons is a very good record and Collins dare hardly claim any chance now of winning the pennant. Philadelphia fans are already count ing on seeing the series for the world's championship, as they figure the Ath letics as winners in the American League. Local opinion ia strong that Mack's men will prove too strong ior the Giants, if the two teams come to gether. The fans assert that Waddell and Plank will prove big, stumbling hlnrlcs tn the National Leaguers. Each of these southpaws could work twice, if necessary, and then Coakley ana uca lev nr nrettveood twirlers. too.

It is stated they are willing to give $1,000 for it, but it is not likely they would give more than the proverbial 30 cents for the alleged players who comprise the team. Pitcher Reulbach, the former Mis souri Valley leaguer, left here last night to epena a couple of days with friends at Burlington, Vt., says a Philadelphia dispatch of the 26th. He will join the Cubs in Boston Monday and pitch again Tuesday. He was feeling fine last night, having slept most all yesterday morning.

Of all the numbskulled plays and bone-headed players, the Senators are "IT."

Invaded Their Neighborhood Making Him an Inebriate. SEEKS $15,000 DAMAGE. Vicinity Nightly Disturbed by Unseemly Noises. Tried to Coax Her Husband Home and Was Heaten. Kansas City, Kan., Aug. 30. A pa thetic story was told in the filing of a divorce case in this city Tuesday. It was that of Mrs. Cloe Harrington against Edward Powers and Joseph Unser, the Rochester Brewing com pany and George Dedek, asking for $15,000 damages and the closing of the saloon of the defendants at 10 Grey stone avenue. This is the saloon which was closed Monday night upon the or der of the county attorney, after sev eral complaints against it had been made. Mrs. Harrington says that she was a woman of liberal education when she married Frank Harrington, a stonecut ter, in 1903. They now have two chil dren. Her husband earned $24 a week, they lived in a quiet and peaceable neighborhood, and were very happy, as told in the following paragraph, of the petition: "During the first of the marriage re lations (Harrington) was a temperate, sober, industrious citizens, of good habts, kind, considerate and affection ate to his wife and family; an excel lent provider of all the comforts and conveniences of life; had good credit among business men and easily obtain ed steady work at his trade, and was a successful and prosperous business man and was rapidly accumulating something to buy a home of his own, and by his steady habits brought to the plaintiff and her family comfort able surroundings, thrift and the full enjoyment of domestic life." Four months ago, the petition says, Powers, Unser and the brewing com pany opened a saloon in a building owned by George Dedek, directly op posite the Harrington home. The quiet of the neighborhood was disturbed by nightly orgies and people began to move away. The effect of the saloon upon her is told as follows: "That by reason of the fact that her husband spends nearly all of his wages and earnings at said place in strong drink she has been deprived of the many comforts and conveniences, and her family is sinking in poverty on ac count of the wrongs and injuries here in narrated, and she has been render ed by this cause unhappy and wretch ed by reason of her husband's con tinuous intoxication and absence from home during all hours of the night at .this place, and plaintiff has been great- ly disgraced and has suffered great and almost unbearable distress of mind." She further alleges that her husband "is now an habitual drunkard, incom petent, often sick, negligent in the con duct of his business and habits, cruel, brutal and abusive to the plaintiff. She says that when at 2 o'clock one morn ing about a month ago she tried to get him home, he choked her, threatened to kill her and returned to the saloon. She recites other occasions when she says her husband choked and struck her. Editor Howe to Entertain. On Tuesday evening.

Several years ago a gang of men accompanied by an old veteran, was celebrating pension day" in .North Leavenworth on the old Atchison ice slides, on Second and Kiowa streets. The old "vet" was furnishing the money and the celebra tion waxed furious, as long as the money lasted. After all had drank up everything in sight, the old man, who had long fallen by the wayside, lay asleep on the ground near the build ipg. The next morning when the old fel low came to his senses he discovered that his new found friends had robbed him of a new silver watch and three dollars in silver, the remains of his pension, which he had managed to se cret from the eyes of those who had made up the party. A great cry was raised and "Punk" Maloney, long since dead, was arrested, accused of the crime. An effort was made at the time by the police to send Maloney to the penitentiary. Maloney's friends hired Jno. Hausserman, who at that time was practicing law In this city, and after a spirited trial before Judge Bond, Ma loney was acquitted of the charge. The old Maloney homestead went from bad to worse, and a couple of weeks ago, as it was then in a dan gerous condition, it was torn down. One of the workmen engaged in tearing down the old shack, found a silver watch and three dollars in silver wrap ped up in a paper and securely tucked into a corner up in the garret of the house. No one knows what became of the veteran.- "Punk" is dead, and as there was no claimant to the property the workman kept it, doubtless think ing of the old saying: "Finders keep ers," ftc.

In the mora- jing trains commenced running every hour and over 20,000 persons are now on the ground. Mrs. Lasalle C. Pick ett, widow of the Confederate general, was the principal speaker. She gave a humorous lecture on "The Folk Lore of the Old South Befo' the Wah." It was attentively listened to by thous ands and was highly appreciated. She recited many interesting and humorous anecdotes in dialect of the southern people, both black and white, during slavery times, and carried her audience away with her vivacious humor and word painting of a people and times that have passed away. Mrs. Pickett was well acquainted with all the fa mous generals of the Confederacy and her delineations of their characteristics and peculiarities are unapproachable. No orator ever met with a more en thusiastic greeting and hearty welcome in Camp Logan than the talented widow of the famous Confederate gen eral. She was followed by her son. Major George E. Pickett of the United States army, who made a short but patriotic speech, which was enthusiastically re ceived by the old soldiers. Today Mrs. Pickett will deliver her famous lecture on "The Battle of Gettysburg," which has received the highest encomiums from Longstreet, Howard, Sickles and other generals.

Cedarvale. Kan., Aug. 30 That John Brown owned a spring in Kansas there is no doubt in the mind of J. H. Moody, of this place. The last day of this month Mr. Moody will have lived in Kansas fifty years. He came to Kansas August 31. 1855, and settled on a claim fifteen miles south and two miles east of Lawrence. Joining his claim on the west John Brown had taken up a piece of land. On Brown's land, Mr. Moody says, was one of the nest springs or water ever drank from. Brown had settled on this land the same year that Moody did. He built a log house and barn on It, and in the year 1856 Brown broke up forty acres of land. He cultivated corn on this land in the summers of '56 and '57 after which he went to Harper's Ferry, John Brown was the first man Moody ever shot at. Brown had gone onto Moody's land and cut a lot of rails, at which Moody protested. He and Brown quarreled and Moody shot at Brown, but missed him. The inter ference of a friend prevented him from shooting at Brown the second time. Moody was with Brown when he took a band of border ruffians pris oners at Cowsteur. MILLERS ORGANIZE. Kansas and Missouri Men Organize to Push Kansas Floor. Kansas City, Aug. 30. An organ ization of millers of Kansas and Mis souri river towns, the object of which is to exploit the high grade product of Kansas hard wheat, was formed at a meeting at the Hotel Baltimore yester day afternoon. There were twenty-five millers present from Kansas City, Atchison. Topeka, St. Joseph and other cities. They adopted the name, Kan sas Standard Flour league. Officers and a board of eight directors were elected. Besides forming the organization the object of the meeting yesterday was to select and approve a trade mark which will be registered and copyrighted. Each miller identified with the league will be under bond to place this trade mark on the highest grade product of Kansas "turkey" hard wheat. The trade mark adopted will be in the form of a circle, containing two stars and the words, "Kansas Hard Wheat Flour League, Highest Patent Registered." The officers chosen were E. D. Lysle, Leavenworth, president; L. H. Moore, Kansas City, vice president; R. E. Sterling, Kansas City, secretary, and R. E. Kidder, Kansas City, treasurer. Leavenworth Miners Strike. Leavenworth, Aug. 30. At least 450 miners from the North shaft, the Home and the Riverside coal mines are on strike as the result of a con troversy which arose regarding the question of short weight, it having been claimed by the men that the weighman at the North shaft was de frauding the miners. District Vice President Williams of the United Mine Workers' union, ap peared at the North shaft, and had some words with James Shudrowitz, check weighman at the mine. The trouble seems to have been over the fact that Williams accused Shudrowitz of defrauding the miners in regard to the weight of the coal that was being sent up. Ottawa 24, Garnett 2. Ottawa.

Cold Storage Capacity of 10,000 Tons Provided For. Gossip and Matters ot Interest in Railroad Circles. One of the largest artificial ice plants in the west, possibly the largest, and one that will compare favorably In size with the big ice and refrigerating plants in the east, is to be built by the Atchi son, Topeka Santa Fe at Argentine, Kan. Plans and specifications for this plant have been drawn and accepted by the officers of the road. J. E. Hurley, gen eral manager of the road, said yester day that these plans and specifications had not reached his hands yet and he was a trifle unfamiliar with the con structive details of the buildings to be erected. Work is to begin on this plant right away and it will be put up under contract. Argentine is the DrinciDal place on the western lines of the road where fruit cars and other perishable freight are iced for the journeys east. So great has become the business of the Santa Fe in the transportation of citrus and other friuts from1 California and other points in the south that the Icing and cold storage facilities at (Argentine nave oeen taxed Deyona their capacity It was decided, therefore, by the com pany to erect this new ice manufactur ing plant and cold storage houses. This plant will have the capacity for manufacturing 200 tons of ice a day, and there will also be a cold storage capacity of 10,000 tons. The plant will be equipped in the best possible man ner and will be modern in all its details. It will cost in the neighborhood of $200,000. This cost is exclusive of the cost of laying the tracks that will be necessary to handle the traffic at the plant. SCALPERS DOING BIG BUSINESS Reaping a Harvest Account of Fever Scare in South. St. Louis, Aug. 30. A harvest time for the railroad ticket scalpers has been created by the exodus, from New Or leans and other fever infected points in the south. The scalpers' offices In New Orleans are besieged every day with persons who are anxious to leave but who want to do so as economically as possible. The scalpers have evolved this scheme which is being worked extensively: If a person wishes a ticket to St. Louis at reduced rates, he has, to purchase a round trip ticket to Chicago from the office of the railway itself. Before he leaves New Orleans he is provided with a letter from the broker there to a tick et scalper in St. Louis. He presents this letter and the St.- Louis broker and receives In return tnei price paid for the ticket, less the reduced price charg ed for the trip from -the-; south. What is left of the ticket is sold in St. Louis to any person wishing to go to Chicago. The price paid includes the value of the return half, but that amount is re funded to the purchaser by a scalper in Chicago. The process is kept up until the en tire ticket has been used. Each of the purchasers saves from $2 to $4, and the brokers clean up several dollars each. POSED AS SANTA FE MAN. Bad Check Artist Was Never Con nected With the Railroad. W. J. Healy, freight auditor of the Santa Fe, and who has charge of the travelling auditors, stated yesterday that George H. Moore, who was arrested on Monday in Wichita for passing a worthless check, had never been con nected with the auditing department of the Santa Fe. When Moore was ar rested he stated that he was an auditor in the employ of the Santa Fe and had worked in the auditing offices in To peka and Las Vegas. This statement Mr. Healy denied. He said that no man of that name had ever worked in his department. Moore offered a cnecK at uouia Brothers' saloon in Wichita for some drinks. The check was for ten dollars and was drawn on the American State bank to Moore'a order and was signed with his name. One of the Goulds thought Moore acted suspiciously and called an officer. The bank was tele phoned to and it was stated that Moore had no deposit there. Moore was ar rested then and at the station house he told that he was connected with the auditing department of the Santa Fe. Moore will be given a police court hear ing soon. NEW RAILROAD RATE BILL. Townsend Will Have One Ready for Extra Session. Washington, D. C Aug. 30. Repre sentative Charles R. Townsend of Jack son, Mich., one of the authors of the famous Eseh-Townsend rate making bill, has written a letter to a friend here in which he states that he has no reason to believe that President Roosa velt has given up his intention of call ing an extra session of Congress early in November for the purpose of having remedial railway legislation considered. In this letter Mr. Townsend says: "I am satisfied that some bill having for its object the further regulation of in terstate carriers will pass both houses of Congress at the coming session. "I shall introduce a bill containing the main provisions of the bill which I introduced in the Fifty-ninth Congress. I think, perhaps, it will be well to par ticularly specify private cars, so that there will be no question that they are included in the regulating power of the commission conferred by the bill." NEW ROAD TO TOPEKA. St. Joseph Marysville to Be Ex tended Here. St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 30. If plans are matured as they were proposed at a mass meeting held here last night, it will not be long oerore there is a new railroad running from St. Joseph to Topeka. Many prominent men in the city attended the meeting for the purpose of aiding the promoters of the road, -which will be known as the St. Joseph Marysville. Charles N. Wilson, president of the American Engineering company, of Indianap olis, and. one of the promoters of the road, was the principal speaker, and he Induced many of the men present to make large subscriptions for stock in the road. Mr. Wilson said that it is proposed to extend the line through Elwood, Troy, Horton and Holton to Topeka. The road will use the term inals of the Union Terminal company In St. Joseph. It will do a general passenger and freight business and will open up a rich agricultural coun try in the upper Kansas counties. An hourly passenger service will be given and it is proposed to operate freight trains at intervals such as is war ranted by the business. The cost of construction will approximate about $22,000 a mile. NEW LINE FOR SEDALIA. Surveys Will Be Made for a New Road to Iowa. Sedalia, Mo., Aug. 30. Word has been received from Charles A. Gallagher from Kansas City that he will be here in the near future with an engineering corps for the purpose of surveying a route for a steam railroad from a point south of Sedalia, on the Rock Island, to Marshall and Miami in Saline county and thence north to connections in Iowa. Mr. Gallagher recently tried to buy an old charter for a road that was proposed for the same territory but terms could not be agreed upon and a new company composed of Kansas City and eastern capitalists, has been organ ized by Mr. Gallagher. The line will be 68 miles long. The intention is to bridge the Missouri river at Miami and build north to connections in Iowa. In a letter to Captain S. C. Gold, made public today, Mr. Gallagher says he will have grading outfits at work be fore September 15, and the line from Se dalia south to a connection with the Rock Island will be constructed this fall. The entire line to Miami will be completed. Mr. Gallagher says, in time to handle next fall's business. The com pany is organized with capital enough to construct the line. RESPONSIBLE FOR WRECK. Two Engineers and a Conductor Dis charged by Santa Fe. Albuquerque.. N. M-. Aug. 30. As the re sult of the completion of the investigation of the big wreck on the Santa Fe at Horseshoe Bend, below Corona, in Califor nia, which occurred a week ago, three of the emploves of the road have been dis charged. Engineers Bert Ellis and J. F. McFarlane and Conductor Baldwin are the men who were let go and their discharge is taken as equivalent to holding them re sponsible for the wreck. Ellis was the en gineer of the southbound extra freight which crashed into the work train of which McFarlane was the engineer. Bald win was the conductor of the work train. The work train had stopped on Horse shoe Bend where the men were working and a flagman was sent out to head oft the extra in the rear. The extra freight had instruction to pick up the flagman and carry him to the next siding, where it was expected the work train would be found. Instead of the engineer stopping for the flagman to mount the engine he ran past and the brakeman climbed on the train. Then came the work train's error. In stead of proceeding forward as expected, the train for some reason was backing up when the extra freight ran around a curve and crashed into the rear. For this error the engineer and conductor of the work train were discharged. Six workmen were killed in the accident which was one of the worst occurring on the fourth division for several years. PASSENGER AGENTS' TRIP. A Sixteen Day Pleasure Tour of Points in the Northwest. Arrangements have been completed for the thirty-third meeting of the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents which is to be held in Portland, Ore., Sep tember 14 and 15. An extended tour has been arranged covering the northwestern part of the country. A special train of Pullman cars will leave Chicago on the af ternoon of September 8 for St. Paul.where only one day will be spent in sight-seeing, the party being the guests of the Wiscon sin Central. LPaving St. Paul, the special will go Via the Northern Pacific and Great Northern routes, making stops at Spokane and Butte. At Dalles, Ore., the party will take a boat for Portland, going up the Co lumbia river. Four days will be spent in Portland, the convention being in session for two days, while the other two days will be spent in the exposition grounds. On leaving Oregon the special will go via the Northern Pacific to Seattle, from which point the party will take the Pa cific coast steamer Spokane, recently built, and which has been chartered for the oc casion. The first stop will be made at Vic toria. After leaving Victoria the party will go on to Vancouver, from which point the Canadian Pacific will be used for the trip to Revelstoke, a historic point in British Columbia, then passing east to Winnipeg and through the country lately settlr-d up, and then via the Soo line back to St. Paul, and via the Chicago and Northwestern to Chicago. The trip will consume sixteen days. RAILROAD NOTES. J. A. Stewart, general agent in the passenger department of the Rock Island, was in town yesterday. The Missouri Pacific's net earnings for June amounted to $818,822; gross earn ings. $3,318,150; from January 1 to June 30, gross earnings $19,830,389; net earn ings $4,153,711. W. B. Kelly of Albuquerque, who has been in the employ of the Santa Fe for twenty-one years, has resigned his position. Of late-years ne nasDeen manager of the Raton water system and engaged with the pipe line service. New passenger equipment costing in the aggregate nearly $5,000,000 has been ordered for the lines of the New York Central system. The new cars and coaches for the 18 hour Chicago lust received from the Pullman company cost $1,000,000. A circular has been issued by the Northern Pacific saying that nearly ten thousand harvest hands are needed in the northwest, principally at Grand Forks. Minn., and Fargo, McHenry, Jessie, Sheldon, Moorhead, Grafton, Hannaford and Dacey, in jNortn Dakota. The Frisco has about 300 new combi nation side dump coal and ballast cars in use on the Fort Scott division. These cars have a capacity of 100,000 pounds and are the largest ever used in coal traffic in the west. A few years ago a coal car with a capacity of 40,000, was regarded as a large car. Finishing touches are being put on bv the Santa Fe to the new long bridge which the company has built opposite the mouth of the main ar royo below Sorocco. The company has also constructed a waterway mere which will cause all flood waters to flow into the Rio Grande. Word has been received at the war department at Washington from Secre tary Taft at Manila stating that it has been decided to postpone tne aate oi opening the proposals for bids for con cessionary contracts or grants with and by the Philippine government in aid THE PEOPLE ALL In Chorus Cried, Give Us Newbro's Herpicide. This word of late has been in everyone's mouth, and many are wondering what the word signifies, though no one has yet been found who will deny that NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE does the work. Well, for the information of thousands of people who like to know all about a good thing, we would say that HERPICIDE means a destroyer or killer of "Herpes." Now "Herpes" Is the family, name of a dis ease caused by various vegetable para sites. A similar microbe causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair; this is the microbe that NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE promptly destroys, after which the hair grows. Sold by leading druggists.

Bridgmen, an employe in the Santa Fe shops at Albuquerque, was one of the lucky ones in the government drawing of land in the Uintah reserva tion. He drew lot No. 727. He is going to establish a homestead on this land and then return to work in the shops. Operating officials of the Pennsylva nia railroad claim that they can easily cut down the running time between Chicago and New York from 18 to 15 hours and that this time has been re cently been made by a special. There is no Intention of reducing the time from 18 hours, but a 15 hour schedule has been prepared and can be put in use if competing roads make it necessary. The new railroad, known as the White river branch of the Iron mountain, will be opened for traffic in about a month, and then an exceedingly rich section of Missouri and Arkansas will receive the advantages of transportation facilities to promote retarded development. The road taps the lead and zinc lands of Arkansas; the hardwood forests of Ar kansas and the fruit sections of Mis souri. The executive committee of the inter state commerce law convention has de cided to hold a national convention in Chicago early in October, with a view of formulating further plans to induce congress to pass remedial railway leg islation. The convention is composed of about 400 commercial bodies and boards of trade throughout the country, and claims to be the chief instrumentality in starting the present agitation for rate legislation. TO HAVE A PARLIAMENT. China Will Spend Twelve Years In Getting Ready for It. Pekin, Aug. 30. The foreign min isters attended a banquet which Prince Chin gave in bidding farewell to the commission starting from China on a tour of the world. The prin cipal object of this mission is to study the parliamentary proceedings of the governments abroad, as the dowager empress intends to issue a decree at the new year for the establishment of a parliament twelve years hence. In the meantime the government will maintain a body of students abroad for the purpose of preparing the coun try for parliamentary government. The commissioners will spend a month in Japan, proceeding thence to Europe via America. The proposition was discussed of traversing Cana'da, avoiding America on account of Its exclusion laws, but the Idea was abandoned because of the rigor of the Canadian climate. The commission will be accom panied by a large retinue. A Palace for Miss Roosevelt. Pekin, Aug. 30. Miss "Alice Roose velt and thirty Philippine excursion ists, with a party from Manila, In cluding General Corbin and wife and Admiral Train, will arrive here about September 12, bringing a new lega tion guard. Officialdom is greatly in terested in Miss Roosevelt's visit. The dowager empress is preparing a pal ace for Miss Roosevelt's reception and will invite her to stop there as her guest.

While cat of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. What a blessing it is for Mr. Jerome that Kansas does not vote in New York! China seems to have a real Chinese Wall now, so far as American goods are concerned. The grand dukes in Russia are at tacking: M. Witte. This makes us think all the more of him. Now that the country has the "Kan sas" to defend it. what's the use of wasting money on any more ships? Of course Mr. Witte wanted peace, hut when the Japanese acceded to his demands he was too paralyzed to talk. Mr. Witte has saved Russia a billion dollars. What a pity he cannot collect the attorney's fee UBual in such a case! Very likely Mr. Witte is mad now be cause he did not ask the Japanese to pay him an indemnity. They seemed so easy. Judging from what Grant Hornaday said about Cyrus Leland he, is not run ning for governor on a Leland platform at any rate. According to the Taggart testimony it would seem that -the army posts develop the scandalous" life Instead of the strenuous HfeC' Linevitch will perhaps always claim that he could have licked if Witte hadn't butted in with the peace nego tiations and interfered! Of course they have yellow fever under control in New Orleans: They are Just letting it spread for the fun of the thing apparently. Burglars in Chicago broke into the city's law department. It is expected that they will break into the Jail next and carry oft the cells for old iron. According to William Allen White, St. Louis' lid is the real thing instead of being one of the fluffy lace "creations' that you can poke your finger through. How considerate it was of Attorney General Coleman to avoid implicating Tom Kelly in any of the suits he has brought! He might have hurt Kelly's feelings. Governor Vardaman is beginning to be convinced that Louisiana did not try to unload a lot of second hand yel low fever germs on to his state Just for spite. Can you imagine a Joint debate in atussia wnen a campaign is In pro gress? Think of two speakers hurling some of those terrible Russian words at one another! Topeka can afford to be very liberal with Its Mother Florence memorial, considering its abundant prosperity and the great work which the Salvation 'Army angel did. President Roosevelt Is a living illus tration that it is really possible for an Innocent bystander to take a hand in a fight and make both the fighters quit If he Is big enough. How glad Russia must be that she "positively declined" to pay that in demnity! It isn't every country that could make six hundred millions by Just running a bluff for a few days. In writing to Secretary Shaw, Gover nor Cummins signs himself, "With high regards, I am very truly yours." Gov. Cummins' high regards for Secretary Shaw are much like Tom Kelly's re sards for W. R. Stubbs. Of course we won't hear anything of Peary for several years, but any others who are ambitious to find the pole need not hold back because of the fear that Peary will have chopped it down be fore they get there. It was not very long ago that practi cal submarine boats existed only in the imagination of inventors. Now they are eo perfect that the president of the United States goes down under the wa ter in one in perfect safety. Perhaps the reason Attorney General Coleman has filed two suits against Kelly's, bondsmen alleging opposite statements In them is so that he will be sure to strike it right in one case or the other. Mr. Coleman Is usually un fortunate in bis lawsuits for the state. COLLIER'S CRUSADE. One of the great weekly Journals of the country, Collier's Weekly, has in auguratedor rather Joined a cru sade against the use of patent medi cines. It not only denounces the medi cines themselves, but it also denounces the newspapers that advertise them. i But Collier's is not consistent, as is pointed out by the Rome, Ga., Tri bune, in the following: "Collier's Weekly, whieh is nothing if not amusing at times, reads the riot act to the newspapers of the United States because the newspapers ac cept patent medicine advertisements. Among other choice ads scattered throughout this excessively moral weekly we find that somebody's sul phur soap beautifies the skin and that a certain party is Just itching to dis pense free advice as to the cure of asthma.. We note, with interest, that the finest infant and invalid food on earth has been discovered in Hawaii and will be shipped to sufferers at bo much per can, while on another page a party informs us that a certain powder used in the shoes will surely cure rheu matism. A philanthropic gentleman' desires to put you on the highway to immediate fortune by starting you in the mail order business, and an ath letic gentleman can surely cure you of constipation and indigestion provided you let him sell you a lot of charts and things. And so it goes; whisky, beer. cosmetics, powders, asthma cures and free treatment' ads in Collier's ap pear, Just as they, do in many other magazines and papers." But just how much Justice would there be in Collier's criticism of other publications supposing it lived up to its pretensions? It cannot be denied that there are a great many good patent medicines. Neither can it be denied that there are some that are probably "fakes." Most of them, however, have more or less of merit, and some are old standbys, remedies that are kept in the house hold and are as standard as quinine. Is there any reason why the newspa pers should not advertise such reme dies, as well as breakfast foods, calicoes, real estate or magazines? It is possible that some patent medi cine advertisements get into the col umns of the newspapers that are not all that are claimed for them. And it is just as probable that there are ad vertisements in the columns of Col lier's that are not entirely reliable. The more careful and reputable newspapers are cautious about accept ing, advertisements that may be fraudulent. There are some kinds of medical advertisements that cannot get into the columns of the State Journal under any circumstances, although they are published daily and weekly in other Topeka papers. But the State Journal contends that the announcements of reputable patent medicines have a right in the columns of the daily papers. Most people have sufficient sense not to take them un less they need them. As a rule sick persons should consult a physician when they are ill, unless they know exactly what ails them and what is ood for it. Under the latter circum stances there is no reason why they should not consult the columns of the newspapers and take the patent medi cine that they know will fit their in dividual cases. THE MAN WHO DOES THINGS. The world has a great admiration for the man who does things the individ ual who accomplishes results. It likes the man who is not afraid to overturn precedent if necessary to bring events to pass. It appreciates the individual Who is willing to take the initiative the real leader. That is why Theodore Roosevelt Is today the greatest world-figure of the present generation. No other man of any nation approaches him in real greatness. He has achieved thia emi nence within the past ninety days, for while he was recognized before that as the conspicuous head of a great nation, it has been his work in compelling or persuading two great world-powers to conclude a bloody war that has raised him to a preeminent position as a world-leader. We of America recognized Theodore Roosevelt as one of our greatest presl dents. We have placed him alongside of Washington and Lincoln, but the world at large knew him only as the head of the American nation. His was supposed to be a martial spirit rather tnan one or peace. His few enemies have raised the cry of "The Big Stick" against him, but the developments of the summer of 1905 have shown him to be a man of peace. President Roosevelt's action in step ping in between Russia and Japan and proposing a peace conference was un precedented. As a rule the outsider who attempts to part two belligerents gets the worse of it unless he is large enough to force the combatants to do his will. But such was Theodore Roosevelt's tact and diplomacy, such was his bearing toward both belligerents, such was the wisdom of his suggestions, that each placed great faith in him and readily assented to the proposl tion for a peace conference. And when the conferees have had diflT culty in agreeing, when it seemed as though the conference must come to naught, it has been Theodore Roose velt who has stepped, in and has ironed out the difficulties. Historians will place the name of Roosevelt above that of Gladstone and Bismarck, for not even the Grand Old Man of England, the greatest premier Great Britain has produced could have accomplished what Roose velt has done. An Arctic Brother. A true Etory of pluck and humor ap pears in the August number of the World's Work, as follows: Three years ago Mr. A. s. K.erry was In a hospital because of an operation for appen dicitis, and his sawmill was burned. A friend broke the news to him as gently as possiDie. "D-did the whole works go?" he asked. 1 "The whole business," said the friend. "It's all right; we'll build a better mill"; and the sick man turned over and went to sleep. When he got well he did build a better mill. Mr. Kerry came from eastern Can ada. At nineteen he was piling lum ber in a Seattle mill and at twenty one he was the manager of the mill, It was burned down. With a capital of 11.500 he leased another mill and started in business. He accumulated $75,000, when his plant again burned. Then he went to Alaska, was gone two years, returned "broke," but not in the' least depressed. While at Skagway on his way out or Alaska he had an experience that his friends relate. Several men seized him and announced their determination to initiate him ento the mysteries of the Arctic Brotherhood, a secret order that has since become a very large and in fluential Alaska organizaion. "I've just bought my ticket, ana it s three miles to the wharf, and my boat leaves in an hour," protested Kerry. There 11 be another boat m a lew days." was the assuring reply. They stripped him of his coat, nis waistcoat and his collar, and turned up his trousers, because, they said, it was raining over the Circle. ihey then led him into the lodge room. After they had shown him the aurora borealis, and had ridden him on the mountain goat, they told him that he would have to climb Chilkoot pass. A 220-pound man fastened himself to his back and started him up a steep, crooked incline. The blindfold had slipped, so that Kerry saw the situa tion. He turned and jumped kangaroo fashion. The fat man struck the floor. Kerry was out of the door in an instant, leaving half his woolen shirt in the hand of a miner, who was "little too short in his reach." While two doctors, a dentist and a deputy United States marshal were striving to bring the fat man back to consciousness, the rest of the Arctic Brothers gave chase and ran Kerry three miles to the wharf. But they didn't catch him. When Kerry was asked in Seattle what he thought of Alaska he replied: It s a great coun try; but the most satisfactory view I ever had of it was from the stern of a steamboat coming away!" He had been in Seattle but a week when a mill owner offered him a sal ary of to, 000 a year to manage his mill. "No," said Kerry, "I'm-broke now. but there's too much money loose, and I can't afford to work for wages."' JOURNAL ENTRIES Along with the corn crop, the In dictment crop in Milwaukee seems to be holding up pretty well. Hereafter will we hear stories about smoking the cigarette of peace instead of the pipe? m m m Topeka has a new automobile club. but it is to be hoped that the base ball fans won t get confused and in sist on Its making a record f runs, hits and errors. The runs might be all right, but it might not be pleasant to have to record the number of pedestrians hit, or the errors made in turning at the wrong time. m m m How glad we are that we don't have to hold our breath until we find out whether P. W. Goebel is a Demo crat or a Republican! We hope Castro won't get too sassy just now. We are too busy at pres ent to take time to spank him. m m m What's the use of besmirching the Taggarts by trying to show that they were on friendly terms with some United States senators? Peaches and cream are usually sup posed to go together, yet even at At lantic City the peaches are not allowed to appear in cream-colored bathing suits. v i The earthquake that was felt throughout the central west the other night ought to have come in time to have shocked the wheat. JAYHAWKER JOTS The Gazette gives this tip to the Em poria boys: A girl visiting in Emporia is worth a hundred thousand dollars and she is just dying to learn to row; is crazy to learn tennis; she just adores golf and wants to learn the game, and could just die buggy riding. The county health officer and local doctors at Coffeyville got together the other night and discussed what they would do in case yellow fever should break out there, and they decided to watch all trains coming in from the south. Nothing like taking time by the forelock! A fakir at Horton got a taste of his own medicine the other day. He was operating a wheel of fortune that re quired the services of a ticket seller. At the close or business the ticket man took the day's receipts, amounting to 54, and left. In this instance it seems that there was no honor among thieves. Wailnut Valley Times: The Times knows a Butler county girl who plowed. harrowed and drilled in 60 acres of wheat last fall; she drove the binder that cut it. For several years she has mowed her father's meadow, raked hay and go deviled" it to the stack. She rides all the time, her harrow even has a seat on it. But she declines to cultivate corn, too much dust and dirt. No, can't give her name, some lazy man would grab her. The Gaylord Sentinel, which is pub lished where Webb McNall lives, says "The news is sent out from Topeka that Webb McNall, of Gaylord. will be a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for state superintendent of insur ance next year.

It is hardly probable that Webb will kick over the traces if he is harnessed up to the job." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. J Somehow a cesspool never leaks like a cistern. An Atchison girl laces so tight that her cheeks puff out. There are plenty of good friends for those who deserve them. Nothing wears out its welcome as quickly as an explanation. Art has never been able to equal the old fashioned country hams. When a woman nurses her baby in public, should she use a handkerchief? A man who employs two servant girls in Atchison is known as "Colonel." If a farmer wants to attract atten tion this year, he must bring peaches to town; apples won't do it. An Atchison man whose wife was quite fat, was caught flirting, and made a rather novel explanation of his con duct. "The great ambition of your life." he said to his wife, after being caught, "was to become slender. Knowing the was no efficacy in the stuff known as Anti-Fat, I resolved to flirt away your superfluous flesh. It wrung my heart to do it, but I was willing to make any sacrifice for your happiness. So I flirt ed, and you began to lose flesh. You are now as spirituelle as you ever wish ed to be. Come to my arms, and say you never doubted me." KANSAS COMMENT A SPRINTER.

It appears that corn has been dam aged some along the middle part of the Central Branch road. Superintendent Russell, who was over the road with the Missouri Pacific special, says they found corn fired quite badly between Jamestown and Beloit, and in spots as far out as Downs, and even west of there. It will make considerable corn, but nothing like the crop that was promised. Over the greater part of the Central Branch system, where they have had rain recently, the corn is in fine condition. Mr. Russell's informa tion was that timely rains might help things out yet in the dry section. He says there is nothing to report as to improvements of the Central Branch track, in addition to what he said last Monday. At that time he told a re porter that orders had been given to put the track In good condition, and that it would be done as rapidly as pos sible. A few men have been put to work, and the force is being increased from day to day. Atchison Globe. MOTHER FLORENCE. It is hard to understand, unless you have heard it, how the simple words "God bless you," can affect not only a man but a gathering of miscellaneous men. Around the legislature last win ter was an old woman in a ooke bon net. She sold War Crys. To one ana all she would say "God bless you." It was a simple little prayer that tnis oia ladv uttered, and she did it feelingly. There are times when the words can be repeated automatically, but Mother Florence made a prayer out of them. The writer has seen animated discus sions stop when she came; has seen worldlv affairs of important moment stopped suddenly at her words. She went to the hearts of the men ana sne did it by praying, kindly, lovingly, rev erently, "God bless you." She has gone to her long home, but the echo of her voice will reverberate in me hearts of more than one man who was in Topeka last winter. Lawrence World. o- NOT LIKELT.

What Japanese Loans Are Based On. The loans that have been issued are based upon two thines: the resources of the country, upon which is founded the ability of the government to pay, and the security offered for regular pay ment or the interest. The two foreign loans already placed have their interest secured by the customs receipts and the tobacco monopoly, both assets lia ble to fluctuation. But on their face bankers in London and New York have apparently thought them sufficient guarantee for the amount of interest in volved, the security for the principal being the national credit. Would they have been accepted as a guarantee.how ever, for ten times the amount? Most certainly not. Therefore, had ten times the amount been offered, instead of it all being taken, none would have been taken at all. Again, it must be remem bered that bankers have not been the real takers of these loans. The bulk of the money has come from individual Englishmen and Americans. who in view of reputable banking firms underwriting the loans, accepted them as a good in vestment at the market price, which nets about eight per cent. It is amusing to see the turn which the pro-Japanese propaganda, both east and west, has given the acceptance of these two loans in England and America. It is every where in JaDan hailed bv the nropagan da as evidence that the British and American governments are backing the Japanese government in the war, and that these two wealthy countries stand ready to continue to provide the funds. It is hardly necessary to point out the error of this belief. People in America and England invest in the Japanese loans Just as they do in Galveston municipal bonds, on purely business principles. As long as they think the security is good, they will continue to invest, but the moment they begin to suspect the security offered they will not have them at all except at a dis count which compensates them for the risk taken. The Japanese statesmen who are financing the war undoubtedly know this, but the masses of the people are encouraged to entertain some very elusive hopes and expectations. From 'The Financial Prospects of Japan." by Thomas F. Millard, in the Septem ber Scribner s. Losing One's Character in England. In England, no servant can get a really good situation that is, a situ ation with a reputable, first-class family without furnishing a "char acter" from her former employer. This character does not consist in a letter written by a reputed mistress, but a personal interview between the lady who has been the girl's employer and the one who desires to be. I shall never forget the way in which the tragic aspect of the "per sonal character" question was first brought to my notice. I had been asked by a friend, who was suddenly called out, to see the applicants she expected that afternoon in answer to her advertisement for a parlor maid. A very fine looking young woman, of possibly 2 8, seemed to me to be in every respect what my friend needed and so I kept her waiting and in con versation. After I told her that J felt sure she would suit, she said in an embarrassed, halting sort of way: But, madam, I must tell you that there is a very serious thing to be taken into consideration about me. have lost mv character." You see, madam, went on tne young woman, baay gave me an excellent character when I left her, She did not like to part with me. The lady to whom she recommended me lived quite alone and l became a maid to her. This lady died three months ago. Lady is now in some part of Australia, where I can not reach her, or I would write and ask her for a second character, which I am sure she would give me, al though this is not customary, of course. Yet, even that would be written one. I have been trying to get a situation for three months now, but it is so difficult when one has lost her character. The girl's eyes filed with tears. But it all ended happily. My friend en gaged the girl mainly because offered to stand sponsor for her in lieu of the "character" she ought to have had, and she still serves the mis tress whom she adores.

An American car has been driven into the ocean from the ex tremity of the southern island of New Zealand. The automobile has made its way into China and Africa. It will yet be known in the Solomon islands, and the last remaining cannibals will fly from it in terror. It has passed the Arctic circle. It will yet be skat ing around the ultimate pole. Every body goes touring. Inns and restau rants spring up along the path of the horn. Many results, good, bad, and indif ferent, have been attributed to the automobile. Certainly one of the most curious of them is their effect upon the great "family hotels" or apartment houses in New York, or at least upon several or many of them. The builder of the first great "family hotel" in New York explains that the class of hotels in question was built for wealthy men. Of course, the rent was even higher than the building. But now comes the "devil wagon," as its detractors call it, the "bubble," as the frivolous college youth names it, and away whizzes the rich man to his home in the country. He may do business in the city, and yet have a country home forty or fifty miles away. He can go home in an hour or so. He finds it pieasanter to live In the country. Besides, it is fashion able to live in the country. Let us not attribute too much to auto mobiles. "With the Procession." Everybody's Magazine for September. Tragedy at Skibo. Andrew Carnegie tells this as one of his experiences at Skibo. Soon after he had bought Skibo there was a cir cus exhibition In the neighborhood of the castle, and one of the main at tractions was the orang-outang. One night the orang-outang got out, fell over the cliff and was killed. In the morning two of the keepers ran across the body of the dead orang-outang. One of them scratched his head and said- "He ain't no 'Ilander, that's sure!" The other said: "He ain't no Lowlander, they ain't got that much hair on 'em." After a while one of them proposed to the other as follows: "I'll go up to the kirk and see the parson and you go up to Mr. Carnegie and see if any of his American gen try are missing."

He had married a widow with a daughter, Anna Wayland. The wife and mother had died, leaving a small portion of her estate to her hus band and the balance to her daughter. Anna was a lovely girl and extremely fond of her stepfather, whom she had hpfin Hirm e-nt Tin to consider a father and who was all she had to cling to. But circumstances occurred to cause me to think that my uncle was not worthy of her confidence that he was trying to possess himself of her estate, which had become entangled. At any rate he Was very much worried over something connected with the matter, and I inferred that he was afraid of the law, which is very stringent wim guardians.

One nio-ht In summer when we all slept with our doors ana winaows uycn suddenly awakened standing over Anna Wayland's bed. She awone d the same moment, and as me iuu moon was shining in at the window she recognized me at once. I was in no pnndi tinn to exDlaln the matter; in deed, I bolted from the room without a word. The next day I endeavored to set myself right, but Anna was not in a mood to listen to my excuses. The consequence was that by the time she showed a conciliatory mayuauiu I was too much disgruntled to make an explanation. From that time ctt-tnl in thn Trtcltion Of SillllCr. One day my uncle called me into his study and-told me that a "shyster at torney" was trying to bleed him in the matter of his administration of his ward's estate. Certain papers neces sary to his clearing himself or vioia- t r.f thp aw wnicn ne nu i, were in his safe were not there. The safe stood in a hall room next to his own, and he alone knew tne comDina t a ait-ot dim if he had ever writ ten the combination on paper and left it where any one could see it, ana ne replied that he had not. tie consuueu uHi-h mo aa to what It was best to do whether it would be advisable for him to pay hush money or throw him self on the mercy of the courts.

One night I woke up under circum stances involving a coincidence I would r.r,t h believed had it not happened to myself. I was standing in front of my uncle's safe.

He was astonished that one who had so imo. hwn trusted in his family should have proved a villain, but was greatly relieved at my discovery. When I parted with Anna at her room door I told her that my discovery vindicating one dear to both of us had occurred through somnambulism and she was prepared to believe that my ap pearance in her room was due to the same cause. The reconciliation was perfect. On condition of not being prosecuted the conspirators returned all the pa pers they had stolen and soon after ward my uncle turned over the estate to the owner, who in time became my wife. A. AUSTIN KINGSLEY. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. A fair division is where we get the lion's share. When a sailor Is on land is when he feels all at sea. Folly generally attracts more atten tion than wisdom Even cold cash will melt when, it aids in a hot old time. It isn't always the flashy fellow who Is as quick as lightning. The world is full of opportunities to make fools of ourselves. No man can master others until he has learned to master himself. There are no two ways about it when a man and his wife are one. A girl can be staid and straight-laced without even wearing corsets. When a woman doesn't know which way to turn, she generally turns pale. The pessimist forgets all about today's sunshine if rain is predicted for tomor row. The fellow who gets what he wants generally feels that he might just as well have wanted more.

DEFEND THE RUSSIANS. Bankers Sympathize With the Defeat ed Nation in Far East. Quite a number of the bankers who were in Topeka to ma ior staie runas j' yesterday, are staunch defenders of the I Russians in their recent difficulties, and when the news arrived of the conclusion of peace, the conversation naturally drifted into that channel. C. H. Pattison, formerly of Topeka and now of Kansas City, championea the Russians. "For a hundred years," said Pattison. "the Russian empire has 5, been the only one of the great powers t that has been our friend all tne time. V And just as soon as it got into trouble, 99 neonle out of a hundred in this coun try were throwing up their hats for Japan. Twenty years from now it will be different, when we get a taste of Japanese commercial competition. Japan is going to give us the hottest time we ever had in our lives. Our sympathy for Japan has helped to build up the 1 strongest competitor we have ever had." "America sympathized with Japan" said P. W. Goebel, who came alone to this country from Germany when he X was 14 yean old, without a cent, arid now is one of the richest men in the state, "because Americans didn't like the rotten Russian govenrment.' The Russians are the most corruptly and cruelly governed of any people on earth, j When the Russians were chasing Na poleon back out of Russia, they came through the town where my family I lived, and a Russian officer took his j sword and cut three fingers off my old s grandmother's hand, because she would not open a drawer which he wanted to plunder. Just a few weeks ago I was told of as incident hieh happened dur ing the present war. At all the church doors they have a box to receive con tributions to buy delicacies for the sol diers at the front. People contributed liberally, and the official of the gov ernment used to send the money to some depot. One of the members of the church suspected that the money was not all getting into the central J fund, and by keeping watch of the box, he ascertained how much went in. When the official report was made on the amount, it was only about 20 per cent of what was actually deposited. The man made a complaint, and in about two weeks, he was jerked up by what they call 'administrative process' and sent to Siberia for a few years. He was "considered dangerous to the state' and was not allowed a trial." "The. trouble over there in Russia.", Raid W. R. Stubbs. "is that those of-, ticials have a life lease on their jobs., V 1 expect things would be about as bad I v over here if we didn't have a new deal If once in a while. This is a government of the people, and that's what saves us. One thing that has made America sympathize with the Japanese is that no American can stand it to see a great big giant try to abuse and bullyrag a little child, and that was the relative position of Russia and Japan. The victory of Japan against such tremend- ous odds is the greatest marvel of the age." It seemed to be the general feeling Of the bankers that Japan deserved the I great victories it has won, but that it is a good thing for this country that Russia was able to dictate the terms of i peace.

Among the contests decided upon by the com mittee on sports and games are a ladies' footrace, men's footrace, high kicking contest, married women's nail driving contest. baseball throwing, and a game of baseball between the barbers' and some other labor union team. The parade will be made up of three sections, each with a band at the head. The only floats arranged for are two by the cigarmakers. who will represent a non-union "sweat shop" and a union cigar factory. Sev eral other trades, among them the boilermakers, bakers, and plasterers, will have floats in the parade, but have not completed arrangements. Half a dozen deputy sheriffs will be sworn in today to keep the peace at Vinewood park. An effort will be made to hire the "Vinewood theater for the speakers of the day. J. W. Wood, of Kansas City, a speaker on labor problems, will be the orator of the occasion. The A. O. U. W. will furnish two speakers. At the meeting of the general com mittee last night it was suggested that the Vinewood theater building be se cured for a vaudeville show, the per formers to be selected from the nu merous unions. A circus will furnish a counter attraction on Labor day, September 4. but the Labor day com mittee is maKing arrangements to en tertain a large crowd at Vinewood. The crowd should be a large one should union laborers only attend, as there are thirty-five regular labor or ganizations in Topeka. HASKELL'S SCHEDVLE.

Suckers and grafters are one and in separable, without one there would not be any other. The worst species of sucker is the kind that bite and get bitten on the Mail-order Grab. And when any gazoot is foolish enough to get the hooks thrown into him in this way he hunts his lair and "mum's" the word for him forever. Speaking about the Mail-order suck ers, have you ever been caught? No? Well then the next time you see a little adlet in your favorite magazine, that oegs you to send your little bunch of 60 coppers to get that celebrated picture "Chicago After Dark," you want to hie you to the huilriincr thnt belongs to our Uncle Sammy and mail your letter. Then wait and see what you get. You'll get it all right. Don't get hot in the regions of your collar outton tno Open the package way off in some dark and secluded corner for fear some bunch of skirts will see it. Then when you have the wrappings off look. You have the nicest piece of black cardboard that ever came out of a paper factory. Of course the lit tle ad doesn't say at what time after dark the picture was taken, or at what place. Then you think awhile and the conclusion you come to is one word sucker. The worst one on anybody though is the way my uncle got his. He coughed up 'his little plunk to find out how to get rid of potato buggies. For weeic or so alter he sent in Ills, he was going- to perform, wonders. Well, he finally got his package and a sheet of how to do it, that read something like this: Rule 1 Catch the bug:. Rule 2 As you will observe there are two blocks of wood in the outfit, one of which is marked No. 1, and the other is marked No. 2. Take the insect firmly in your left hand and Clare on block No. 1. Be sure that it doesn't get away. Rule 3 Take the block No. 2 In your right hand and hit the Insect which you have placed on block No. 1. Caution: Be very careful and remove your hand that is holding the bug. Rule 4 continue the above ODera- tions until the pest has been extermi nated. Well, my worthy relation was batty enough to try it, but as he did not heed the caution in the third rule, he is now having his wife do the Red Cross act. and he has become a firm believer in advertising for the other fellow. And yet he says he isn t a sucker. Is he? JIMMIE JONES. QVEER FLOW OF GAS. Strong City Article Good for Heat But Poor for Lights. Cottonwood Falls, Kan., Aug. 30. Ryan Bros.' hotel and restaurant are now doing their cooking with natural gas. The flow was turned into their range Monday and it takes only a small portion of the pressure to fur nish all the heat they can use to cook with. They also have the gas piped into their engine boiler so that it will be used to heat the whole hotel. They have had the hotel piped for lighting by gas and turned the gas into the lights. The lights would burn a min ute or two and then go out. They worked for a long time with the lights thinking probably there was something wrong with the jets but finally came to the conclusion that it was the kind of gas. Whatever the cause, the result Is that Ryans have a strong flow of gas which works fine for heating but will not work for lighting. G. A. It. The Official Route to Denver via Santa Fe.

As it was the first liquor I had succeeded in having condemned I want ed to destroy just a couple of bottles." The city attorney claimed that there is an evident intention on the part of the police force to pass over the destruc tion of condemned liquor and stated that he would see to it that destruction is secured in every instance. HE WRECKED A FREIGHT In Order to Prevent a Collision With a Passenger Train. Chicago, Aug. 30. A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Indianapolis says: Confronted with the alternative of wrecking a Lake Erie Western freight train or averting a disastrous collision between the freight and a Chicago Erie passenger train, the operator at Kingsland yesterday chose the former and threw a lever which sent the freight into a ditch. He had given the freight the right of way over a crossing of the two roads before he discovered the passenger was ap proaching the crossing at full speed. The locomotive and one car of the freight were derailed but no one was injured. AN ENVIABLE RECORD. Is That Earned by N. H. Wolff as a Topeka Business Alan. In every department of commercial life are found men born to lead and conspicuous by reason of the marvel ous records they have made in the quiet but persistent course of a business ca reer. A striking illustration is found in the case of Mr. N. H. Wolff who has been engaged in the merchnat tailoring business since 188s, long since be coming one of the most promin ent figures on busy Kansas ave nue. Mr. Wolff claims that during the last ten years he has turned out more first class fitting suits than any other three tailors of the city combin ed, and this claim is apparently sub stantiated by the patronage he has at tracted and held for the past 25 years. In addition to an enormous list of patrons from all the ordinary walks of life, he has for a number of years made all the uniforms for TOpeka's well clad police force; for 14 years he he has made the uniforms of the fire depart ment, from its distinguished chief down, and he has costumed nearly every gov ernor the state has had in the last fif teen years, while for the last few weeks he has bees working night and day on uniforms to be worn by Kansas veter ans at the coming great encampment of the G. A. R. encampment at Denver a remarkable and enviable record! Mr. Wolff now has, at 429 Kansas avenue, one of the handsomest and most commodious merchant tailoring es tablishments in Topeka, occupying the entire storeroom alone, since the remov al of I. M. Blitz, the jeweler. He has, in fact, been located at No. 429 for nine years and the site of no bank is more familiar to the public. Nor has it ever offered so great attractions as at present, for Mr. Wolff now has all his fall line of goods in and is showing over 2,000 patterns in domestic and for eign woolens with the additional recom mendation, so highly esteemed today, that every article leaving his shop bears the union label. Those desiring a wide range of pat terns from which to choose, goods of guaranteed quality and bearing the stamp and seal of style, elegance and artistic manufacture, have come to rely implicitly upon Mr. Wolff, and in his list of patrons the term of "disappointed customer" is absolutely unknown.

DEFENDS SVPT. CHARLES. Washington, Kansas, Editor Thinks He Is a Good Official. C. E. Intralls of Wash! editor of the Republican-Record at that place, sends a letter to the State Journal in reply to the statement of ur. i,va Harding on the reform school controversy. Mr. Iniralls makes a atrnno. ilfonep for Superintendent Charles, and says iiiau xjt. jH.aro.mg- is lighting Charles in order to get the place for her brother-in-law, J. W. Stout. Mr. Ingalls says: To the Editor of the Topeka State Journal: One hardly knows whether to be amused or disgusted at the article in your Saturday's issue signed by Eva Harding in reference to the industrial school charges. Your well known reputation as champion of the square deal has encouraged me to ask for a little space on this subject myself. Dr. Harding feels awfully hurt and thinks it is an "outrage the way she has been misrepresented" in the matter. She has made the severest kind of in sinuations against Sunerintendent Charles and his family, accusations in volving the honor and integrity of the man, accusations involving his com petency as an official, accusations which, if true, would brand him as a tyrant and a villain, a hard hearted, inhuman monster. Yet she deems this as an act of charity and fancies that she is playing the role of heroine. wnen the statement is made that she has nothing but "hearsay evidence" to back her charges, why that is a mis representation that amounts to an "outrage" and is sufficient provocation to cause the worthy doctor to rush into print and try her case in the papers. She then immediately admits that her evidence is "hearsay" which leaves us in doubt as to where the misrepre sentation comes In. She says her evidence is necessarily hearsay because "she is not employed at the institution." Aye, there's the rub. She isnt. If she had been there would have been no charges against the management. She hasn't been to the institution for some time and "the last time she was there the employes were afraid to speak to her for fear of losing their Jobs." But if they dared to speak they would cause the very stones of Topeka to rise any mutiny. Strange how scared they are to speak when their testimony would cause the superintendent to lose his job. Who then would be left to fire them? As a matter of fact the only employes that Dr. Harding can get to say a word of any kind against Charles are those who have resigned by request. Those who nave resigned voluntarily have nothing but words of praise for Charles and his management. Those who have worked under more than one superintendent say that Charles is the best qualified man for the place the institution ever had. The kind doctor now states that it is not the money confiscated for old Iron and rags, it is not any of the other charges of crookedness that she made that she is basing her fight on, but bread and onions for breakfast and inhuman treatment. The doctor merely threw these other accusations in for good measure. She knows that the state treasurer's receipt book will show the facts in these cases. I have recently received a letter from a paroled boy in Kansas City, expressing his surprise at the pub lished articles about Mr. Charles. To quote the boy's own language: "There was never any violence shown any of the boys while I was there, and as for bread and onions for breakfast it is quite a mistake." This boy was there eighteen months, and he ought to know. Ninety per cent, of the boys who have been discharged will make the same statement. Any body who ever had anything to do with Charles knows how positively silly these cruelty charges are. This writer went to school to Charles four years when he was a city superin tendent. He afterward taught with him in high school three years. The only complaint that anyone ever made against him was that he was too Indulgent, and a complaint of severity would be laughed to scorn by thou sands of people all over Kansas who have been under his instruction. The writer has visited the industrial school dozens of times since Charles was there and has talked with the boys on the playground and in the shops. They are all ready to swear by him and his wife, who for a time was ma tron of the institution. The doctor is very Indignant be cause it has been insinuated that she wants the job for another man. Such an insinuation has not appeared in the city press, and the doctor pre cludes the possibility of its ever ap pearing there by recommending Mr. Stout very strongly as Charles' suc cessor. Of course it is merely a coin cident that this man Stout happens to be her brother-in-law. Charles has been misrepresented, and in the interests of justice and a square deal this communication is sent to the State Journal. Very respectfully, C. E. INGALLS. SAW THE ECLIPSE, GorernmentAstronomers Got a Good View But Made No Discovery. Washington, Aug. 30. The eclipse of the sun today was only partial at this point, and for a part of the time of its duration. It was observed with in terest at the United States navy ob servatory and by many amateur as tronomers. The party at the observa tory consisted of Professors Skinner and Hall and Messrs. Price and Hammond. The sun was never obscured to the ex tent of more than six-tenths of its di ameter and the obstruction attained its maximum at 6:30. The astronomers used their five inch comet-seeking tele scope and were enabled to observe three spots on the sun. This was no discovery, however, as the presence of the spots had been known before. Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 30. Observa tions of the sun eclipse at Harvard ob servatory today were impossible because of the clouds. New York, Aug 30 The partial eclipse of the sun which was to be saen in New York today was obscured by clouds and foggy atmosphere. St. Louis, Aug. 30. 'A clear sky favored a fine view of the partial eclipse of the sun today. The moon's shadow on the sun was visible from dawn at 6:30 until 6:28. and thou sands of persons viewed the phenome non. Chicago, Aug. 30. Thousands of persons got up at dawn to wit ness the partial eclipse of the sun. On the South side they were success ful to a considerable degree, but along the north shore the clouds and smoke rendered the phenomenon Invisible during all the period of the eclipse. Clear Case of Bubonic Plague. Panama. Aug. 30. Colonel William C. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer in the canal zone, officially reported yester dav that a bacteriological examination confirms as a case of bubonic plague the disease from which one man aiea at La Boca Saturday last. All those who have been in contact with the case have been strictly isolated and the entire vll- mfmm JJf" ufr It i lage has been thoroughly disinfected. Colonel Gorgas has been authorized to burn any buildings he may diem ne cessary for the purpose of stamping out tne disease. No fear whatever of a spread of the disease is entertained here- REAL RANCH LIFE. Novel Exhibition to Be Feature of the State Fair. Ranch life in all of its picturesque phases, the daily life of the cowman at work and indulging in his pastimes is portrayed in idealistic and entertaining manner by the Miller Bros.' "101" Ranch exhibition outfit which is coming as one of the attractions at the state fair. The management insists that this is not a "wild west show" but an exhibi tion of life on a big ranch as it is to day. Two distinctive features of the ex hibition will be the "mule schooj" and two women broncho riders. These wo men, Goldie Wooden and Myrtle Chad- well are daughters of neighboring ranchmen of the Miller brothers near Bliss, Okla., and have always selected their mounts just as they happen to be taken from a bunch of unbroken pon ies. The "mule school" is made up of twentv-two Arabian mules and when in session they exhibit far more animal intelligence than mules are popularly supposed to have. The Isdlan village will be a distinct part of the exhibition. Here forty of the redmen and their fam ilies will be seen in actual Indian vil lage life and in all of their forms of dances. Every afternoon the buffalo chase, mail coach holdup, burning of a freight er's wagon by Indians, the riding of unbroken bronchos, roping and riding of wild Texas steers and the game of 'Cheyenne Shinny," played by cowboys and Indians on horseback will be given. In. the herd of ten buffaloes the Miller brothers 'say they have the largest speci men of the bison known to breeders. Twenty cowooys will engage in roping contests. The steers provided for this feature are the long horned variety from the Texas range. Every man and animal connected with the exhibition belongs to the "101" ranch and all will be returned there, the men to take up their fall work, after the state fair engagement. DEATH BY DROWNING. Kaw River Claims Bannard Eastberg as a Victim. Bannard Eastberg, a 14-year-old boy who lived at Greenwood and Grove streets in Potwln, was drowned in the Kansas river Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock. The boy was bathing and was alone. The first intimation of his death was the discovery of his body, which was lodged on the up-stream end of the lit tle island opposite the mouth of Ward creek. The boy had been dead but a short time when the body was discov ered. He left home about noon, and was not seen again by relatives until his brother identified his body after it had been brought to shore by a party in a boat. The body was brought to Shellabarger's morgue, where an ex amination was made by Coroner H. H. Keith. Finding no marks of violence, Dr. Keith announced that no inquest would be held, and hia death is at tributed to accident. A New Harrlman Road. Portland. Ore.. Aug. 30.

Docket Tor September Term of Dis trict Court a Record BreaJser, The docket of the April term ef thd district court which has just ended, shews a large amount of work dis posed of. There were 381 cases entered on the docket and disposed of during the term, a number of them belnsr cased of more than usual importance. in the criminal divisions considerahla time was taken up by the case against the safe blowerB. who were convicted and are now confined in the county Jail awaiting their sentence. In the civil cases, the more important were the will case of Isenhart vs. Douglass, another win case. Sabine vs. Bond. Stone vs. Haffield et al.. E. J. Mead vs. Citir of Topeka, an old case that has bee a hanging fire for a lone time. The case of White vs. Eversole, an action for damages against Eversole, who is the contractor who built the Railroad Y. M. C. A. building, was settled. While thej building was in course of construction the basement became filled with water and a little son of Mr. White, whits playing near, fell in and was drowned. In speaking of the work of the judies. Mr. Charles Bowers, court stenographer said: "During the time th.t the jury; was here it was not an infrequent oc currence to have one jury in the box) trying a case and another one in tha jury room deciding another. This not only facilitated the work of the court but made a great reduction to the coun-. ty in the fees paid to the jurors. In all, 18 men were carried on the jury, from this number 12 were selected to try a case, when the case was given to tha jury they retired to the jury room and the other six were taken for the jury for the next case, the sheriff then called six talesmen who completed the next Jury and the court proceeded with tha next case set for trial. In this way tha machinery of the court was kept in mo tion at all times, the docket kept up and an immense amount of business dispos ed of by the court. There is an im mense amount of litigation in this coun ty, and it is getting heavier every year as business enterprises are multiplying and the population or the county in creasing. The September term, which opens next Tuesday, appears to be a contradiction of the statement that tha business of the court is on the increase as the docket contains but 186 cases and is the lightest docket that this court has had for 30 years. This is largely due to the fact that the work of the previous sessions was nearly all disposed of and but very little business carried over from the last term." Get Your Whitewash Now. At its last monthly meeting the Amalgamated Society of Colored Whitewashers of America adopted the following scale, to go into effect Oc tober 1: "For whitewashing an ordinary kitchen ceiling and carrying away a, cat to be drowned, B0 cents. Where there is no cat the price will remain the same, as the white washer is not to blame if the family has not pro vided itself with a feline. "For blacking an office stove which has been spit on for the last four months. 25 cents. The cleaning out of the same must not be done by a whitewasher at any price, as that work comes within the province of another society. "For blacking stovepipe which has been piled up against the back yard all summer, 7 cents a joint, with an extra charge of 3 cents for taking the wrinkles out of the elbows. "For whitewashing a board fence eleven feet high between two loving neighbors, the charge will be 13 eents a square yard, French measure. This measure Includes an tne Knotnoles. If they are not loving neighbors no deduction will be made from the price named. "A charge of 15 cents each will be made for whitewashing trees, no mat ter what age, sex or previous condi tion. Sunflower stalks and gooseberry bushes will come under the head ot trees. "Where gold leaf is worked In, or work done to Imitate the old masters, the price will be (2 a day of cine hours, with the privilege of attending any dog fights not occurring over four blocks away. "The above prices are to be strictly adhered to by all members of the so ciety, but any cut will subject the de linquent to a fine of $5,000 and ex pulsion. "The Imitation of Gobelin tapestry on kitchen ceilings, or the restoration of old masters, shall be as the parties can agree, but the pay must not be less than $2 per day, and the owner of the property to stand any loss."

ALMOST AN ALLIANCE. Provision Will Be Made for Mutual Commercial Privileges. The World Unites in Praise of Roosevelt's Eiforts. Portsmouth, N. IL, Aug. 30. The preliminary arrangements for an arm istice in Manchuria were concluded at the afternoon session of the peace en voys. The two governments were ad vised at once and the two armies which face each other in Manchuria will stack arms preparatory to facing about and beginning the homeward march. Prof. De Martens of the Russian mission and Mr. Dennison began dur ing the afternoon tc prepare the for mal peace treaty. It iwl lbe completed within ten days and the signatures to the treaty of Portsmouth will be ex changed here, in time to permit the Japanese envoys at least to sail from San Francisco September 21) on the steamship Dakota. Both sides, once the deadlock was broken, wanted a "just and lasting" peace and in that respect it was decid ed to practically neutralize Sakhalin, each country binding' itself not to for tify its half of the island, and Japan assuming an obligation not to fortify La Perouse strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido, which would bar Rus sia's commercial route to the Pacific. The plenipotentiaries went further. They decided to add a new clause in the nature of a broad r rovision for mutual commercial privileges by which each country will secure for the other the benefit of the "most favored na tion" clause and the "open door." The new treaty therefore will be a wonderfully friendly document, of character almost to raise the suspicion that the two countries have not nego- tiated peace, but have concluded the basis of a future alliance. There is, however, no evidence, as rumored, that any secret clauses are to be ap pended to the present treaty. The Associated Press is authorized to say there was no secret agreement. Japan gets Korea, half of Sakhalin, Liao Tung peninsula, pay for Man churian railway, pay for keeping pris oners and fishing rights in Russian waters. Russia loses Manchuria, part of Manchurian railway, Liao Tung pen insula and half of Sakhalin. China gets Manchuria and a guaran ty of her own integrity. There will be no meeting of the peace conference today. When the adjourn ment was taken yesterday no time was fixed for the next meeting. Vienna Was Surprised. Vienna, Aug. 30. The news of the conclusion of peace through Japanese concessions was totally unexpected here, and was received with amaze ment. At all events, it is admitted to be a memorable happening, one that adds a new glory, to that already gained by the Japanese. -American Displaced by a Japanese. Seoul, Aug. 30. John McLeavey Brown, for twelve years past at the head of the Korean customs, is to be dismissed. This is probably due to the fact that the customs administra tion has been undertaken by M. Meg a.ta, the Japanese adviser of the Ko rean government. World Owes Debt to Roosevelt. New York, Aug. 30. Former Sec retary John W. Foster, who is in the city, declared that President Roose velt is entitled to the gratitude of the entire world for taking the initiative in bringing together the peace envoys of Russia and Japan. "The outcome." he asserted, "was not so much of a triumph of Russian diplomacy as it was generosity and far-sightedness on the part of Japan. The Japanese army and people will be temporarily disappointed at the terms, but the emperor and his ad visers are wise in effecting peace at this time." The Interned Warslilps. New York, Aug. 30. The interned warships to which Japan has waived her claim and which will be returned to Russia are the battleship Czare vitch, at Tsingtau; the cruiser Askold, the gunboat Mandjur and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi, at Shanghai; the cruiser Diana, at Saigon; the cruis ers Aurora, Otega and Jemtchug, at Manila; the cruiser Lena, at Mare is land. Peace Affects Stocks. London, Aug. 30. The announcement that peace had been arranged between the Russian and Japanese plenipoten tiaries caused the stock markets to open with a somewhat buoyant tendency to day and prices established a smart ad vance, particularly in the case of Rus sian bonds which gained 4 points. Japa nese bonds were also affected but not to euch a great extent, they opening at 2 points higher. Consols advanced a point and Americans generally were stronger. There was mode-rate excite ment at the opening of the markets. Japan Is Supreme in the East. London, Aug. 30. The evening papers follow the lead of the morning newspa pers in bestowing unstinted nraisp nn President Roosevelt, to whom they give the fullest credit for the outcome of the peace conference, whose decision was entirely at variance with their daily predictions since the opening of the ne gotiations. Both papers and people were bo astounded at the outcome of th rm- ference that they feel there is something in mo agreemtni wnicn has been ar rived at that has not yet been mihlish ed and that if this is not the case, then tne new Anglo-Japanese treatv hps at fected the result in some way. In this connection the Pall Mall Gazette says: ine enlarged treatv with Ti-nirlar.,4 may have had considerable weight in persuading the Mikado and his advisers that Japan's position in the far east is now practically impregnable and that peace may be made without pressing for the payment of costs." The paper adds: "Japan now stands in a position of impregnable supremacy in the far east and this supremacy could only be disputed by a coalition against which her alliance with the greatest naval power in the world con stitutes an absolute guarantee." Both to Borrow Money Here. New York, Aug. 30. American bank ers are prepared to float a great Rus sian loan and it is stated today that as a matter of fact, financiers of this city have had the terms of a Russian loan in mind for several months past and the Russian government has known that upon the conclusion of peace, it could raise money here. Hitherto the foreign bankers have taken the first steps in raising money for the combatants and American bankers were asked to asso ciate themselves with the foreign fcouees. But the Americas firms will this time, it is understood, ask London, Berlin and Paris to take a part in the new loan. The exact size of the loan is, of course, not known, but some es timates place the figures at $100,000,000. It was also said that another Japanese loan will be floaed here and as in the case of Russia the bankers will for the first time, take the initiative. Russia Should Bless Roosevelt. St. Petersburg, Aug. 30. "A great dip lomatic victory of Mr. Witte but a great moral victorv for Jarjan." is the verdict of Prince Oukhtomsky in his editorial J in tne vieamosti toaay. ie says: "Notwithstanding the difficult cir cumstances under which the negotia tions commenced Mr. Witte carried out his task with the greatest skill and ob tained from Japan the utmost she was prepared to give more than we expected to receive, but though M. Witte wrested out of defeat these advantageous terms, the moral victory rests with Japan. She will be recognized in the eyes of east and of Europe as the victor as she has acquired a predominant posi tion in Asia, while Russia's prestige has suffered a correspondingly heavy blow. However, Russia is only reaping the re ward of a war conceived in injustice and resting on a policy of aggression toward a weak nation, against which I and others warned the government. I was for peace before as I have been ever since the commencement of the war and I rejoice that peace has been concluded. I have no fear of the re sults on the army. It is impossible to tell what will be the result of peace on the internal situation. The revolution ary movement has roots a generation deep and its causes are entirely inde pendent of the war. which it preceded, though its growth has been fostered by the misfortunes Of the conflict. The agitation and turmoil will no doubt find an outlet in the coming election for the douma regardless of the out come of the war." He pays a high tribute to President Roosevelt "whose name should be bless ed throughout Russia." What Peace Means to V. S. Washington, Aug. 30. News of the agreement of the peace plenipotenti aries at Portsmouth was received here with surprise, for while the offi cial mind had been in a measure pre- Dared for a successful outcome of the conference by the statement contained in the Associated Press from Ports mouth, no such speedy action was an ticipated. Two facts appeared clearly upon the pnnouncement of the news: First, that the state department officials had never entertained any doubt that the conference would reach an agree ment; and second, that the militant branch of the government, the army and navy people, were as fully con fident that the war would continue in definitely and to the point of exhaus tion of one of the combatants. Now that an agreement has been reached, however, both branches of the gov ernment service experience a feeling1 of relief. The state department re alizes a great victory in having se cured beyond any question the open door in Manchuria, which was so dear to the heart of the late Secretary Hay. The territorial integrity of China seems also assured, and with the res toration of the vast Manchurian prov- ces to the control of the present emperor of China and the dowager empress it is felt here that tnere is an end for all time of insidious for eign aggression upon China soil. With Korea under a Japanese protectorate developing its great natural resources, and all to be opened to American ex ploitation on even terms with other nations, a large increase in the for eign market open to our product-s is expected. For its part, the navy will oe re lieved of the tedious and expensive patrol which it has been maintaining in the Philippines since the beginning of hostilities to guard against the vio lation of neutrality by the oeliiger ents. Also it will be relieved of the necessity of guarding the Russian in terned ships. These ships may now, it is supposed, depart for their home ports, although some repairs may be necessary before they may be regard ed as seaworthy. Secretary Bona parte expressed great satisfaction at the news that peace was said to be as sured. General Bates, acting secretary of war. said he was delighted to learn of the agreement at Portsmouth, and especially as he had begun to fear an unfavorable outcome or tne negotia tions. Acting Secretary Loomis said: A great service has been rendered all mankind by the president. The pres ident has personally done more to bring about this much desired peace ful settlement of the war in the far east than the world knows or perhaps will ever know. His achievement is as splendid as it is unique." ASIA AT JAPAN'S FEET. Roosevelt's Victory Is Pronounced the Greatest of the Three. London, Aug. 30. Arguing that Japan might after consideration feel more satisfied with having gained the points for which she took up arms, the Pall Mall Gazette says: "Henceforth Asia lies at her feet and particularly China. China has been a bone of con tention all along. England and the United States will have every reason to be thankful for the triumph of Japan." Referring to Japan's decision to give up her demand for an indemnity the Westminster Gazette says: "It needed only a moment's reflection to see how greatly her moral and material posi tion must have been worse if after having obtained all the substantial points for which she undertook the war, and all the enormous assets that go with them, she had taken the re sponsibility for renewing the war on the question of the costs which could not in the long run have been recovered against an opponent who was determined not to pay. The policy of Japan is to con centrate herself upon the formidable task of developing whatever victory has given her and even a successful war which would have left her in possession of further territory must have dissipated her energies and weak ened her position." The Westminster Gazette concludes with a reference to the Anglo-Japanese treaty, saying: "The alliance is to be renewed and extended to a wider scope than it has yet had," and expressing the hope that the extended alliance may be one which in the long run may be compatible with more friendly rela tions between Great Britain and Rus sia." Speaking of Japan's waiver of the indemnity clause, the Globe says: "It has been an act of extraordinary courage and magnanimity on the part of the emperor and his council. In the act which seems justified by the results, the emperor of Japan has given the world a lesson in moderation and as we believe the result will show, in practical wisdom." It adds: "To the ancient, chivalrous feeling of the old Samurai there must have appeared something sordid in con tinuing the conflict not for glory or for the safety of the empire, but for a cash payment which had assumed the form of a liquidation for damages. Moreover, we write in the dark. We have no glimmer of the secret condi tions which in all probability form part of the terms of peace. Nor do we know how far the situation was affected by tne Anglo-American treaty. The Evening Standard says: "Russia has won one of the greatest diplomatic victories In the history of the world. It DEFENSE CLOSES. Taggart Divorce GaseUas Nearly Beached an End. Mrs. Taggart the Last Witness on Her Own Side. DENIES EVERYTHING. Offered by Her Husband Against Her Faithfulness. Describes the Beating He Gave Her at Ft. Leavenworth. Wooster, O., Aug. 30.: The defense in the Taggart divorce case finished with Mrs. Taggart and practically closed its case. "Mrs. Taggart is about the last wit ness we will swear on our side," said Judge Smyser. "The ".plaintiff will probably present a few in rebuttal. We may have a little evidence to offer after that." It is believed the case will end dur ing next week. The visit to the cellar with Lieut. Fortescue was taken up. Mrs. Tag gart said they had been making high balls and ran out of ice. She started downstairs, the ice box was just at the foot of the stairs. Lieut. For tescue stood with the candle light at the top of the stairs. Another officer came down and helped get the ice and she was not in the cellar more than three minutes. "Sunday morning of June 29," 1903, did you go any place?" "Yes; to guard mount. Watched it from Poor's house." "What truth is there that you were to go there to meet Fortescue or any body else?" "None whatever." "Mrs. Taggart, is it true that you and Lieut. Fortescue were sitting on the step together and drinking a few days later, and that you and Fortescue were sitting there the entire time un til the guests went home?" "No, sir; I was moving around some of the time." "Do you remember' the occasion of the dinner party at General Miner's?" "Yes, sir." "How were you seated at the table?" "I sat at the right of General Miner. Captain Boles sat next to me on my right." Did you tell Captain Taggart that at that dinner General Miner had been indis. creet?" "Certainly did not." "Did such a thing occur?" "No, sir." "Did General Miner give you a rose?" "Yes, he gave me an American beauty rose." The Final Quarrel. The trouble of June 30, 1903, being the climax of the marital woes and the im mediate cause of their separation has al ways possessed peculiar interest. The sub ject was taken up. "How long did it take you to get from Poor's over to your house?" "About five minutes." "Had you any reason to ask Captain Poore to go in?" "Yes, sir." "Go on." "Captain Poore stopped in the vestibule and called Captain Taggart to come down. I stepped inside the veetibule door. iThe captain was on the landing in his pajamas. He made one plunge and grabbed me, and as he pulled brought my clothes off. All my clothes but my shoes and stockings were pulled off. He dragged me to the door and threw me out and said: 'You can go to the gutter where you belong.' He pulled me back and threw me down and sat on me. He kicked me and choked me and jerked me upstairs. He said: 'D n you'. I'll fix you.' He went into another room and got a revolver and said he had that to use on the one who brought me home. He said that he had a notion to use it on me. He threw himself after. that down on the bed and was soon asleep. He had "pulled out the front of my hair. My body was black and blue all over. Two bruises were on my shoulder." "What had you done that you were con scious of to provoke that assault?" Why, I had done nothing, lhe captain knew where I was." "What was your intention when you left Fort Leavenworth as to resuming marital relations again?" 1 never expected to live with CaDtain Taggart." Where a Kansan Came In. She said Tasgart. after the Colonial ball in Manila, had slapped her. lieutenant Mitchell, an aid on General Funston's staff, unmarried, of Manila, called at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon," she said. "He said he was not" popular and might be a wall flower at this dance. He wanted to engage all the dances he could with myself and my niece, Mrs. Vose. When Captain Taggart returned I told him Lieut. Mitchell had been there and told him what his mission had been. Captain Taggart said he was drunk, that ne naa learnea mat at tne ciud ana mat I knew d well he was drunk and because I would not say he was drunk he slapped me. The captain himself was in liauor at the time. That was the last time I ever saw Lieutenant Mitchell and I did not at tend the dance. While I was powdering mv niece's hair he came in again, threw himself on the bed and called my niece to witness his promise, neyer to strike me or abuse me again.". V Mrs. Taggart said that when Captain Taggart returned from the Philippines he stole the children from her. She described the event of his taking them and bringing them to Ohio. "I did not know there were any divorce proceedings until I read it in the paper. Then I received a letter from Billy' Taggart saying that the children were there and that the captain was go ing to sue for divorce." A letter was pro duced written by Grace to "Billy" in which she asked him to watch her chil dren and let her know about them. In this letter Mrs. Taggart said that her heart was broken because of the ehfidren being gone. The first question put to Mrs. Taggart by Mr. Stirling on cross-examination was: "Mrs. Taggart, do you understand the na ture of an oath?" The witness said that she did. She was asked if she knew there was a penalty for perjurers and what the penalty was. She replied that she did. "Do you believe in God?" "I do." At this point court adjourned. is summed up In M. Witte's 'pas un sou.' Nor are we inclined to begrudge M. Witte his hour of glory. He fought magnificently for Russia and, thanks in in large measure to his tactful ability, she has been able to save her face." Referring to the results gained by Japan the Standard says: "Perhaps she is the only nation on the face of the earth which would have rested content with what she set out to accomplish." In conclusion, the Standard says: "We come to what, from aa international point of view, may be regarded as the greatest victory of the three. It be longs, as we think, to President Roose velt. He may for instance, have held out to Japan, inducements which would have the double effect of securing peace with Russia and rooting up the weeds of disagreement between Japan and Amer ica. The paper prints a dispatch from St. Petersuburg which says M. Witte will return the hero of the day and that it is not impossible he may "become a sort of prime minister." The dispatch adds: "It is believed. however, that he will resign unless free dom of the press and personality are guaranteed."1 NORTH TOPEKA.

Mayor Davis and City Engineer Mc Cabe were the first to cross the new bridge approach when it was opened for use at precisely 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. They drove over some time before and placed their buggy straight across the street, shutting off every one else. There is a latent sus picion that it was done witn malice aforethought. A short time after they took position F. H. Petro came up with his automobile, but in the meantime a little old team got ahead of his. But the first motor car to cross was Petro's. He signalled Colonel J. N. Stewart, the auctioneer and candidate for county commissioner, to et aboard and go with him, but Stewart shook his head. Perhaps he" thought it was no time for a candidate to put on style. Council man Simms, who had announced his purpose to be the first to cross with one of his laundry wagons, had been on the watch, and when he saw the mayor drive up as he did he turned sour and stood in the background. The opening of the bridge was witnessed by a good sized crowd, which would have been larger but roc a aisbeiiet in the promptness of the opening.

Western Roads Are Alarmed at Growth of Their Business. Circumstances are developing that wilt result probably in the officials of the western railroads placing such in formation in the hand? of the inter state commerce commission in a lew days ae will warrant an investigation by that body of the freight brokerage business, 'lhe paymeit of commis sions by western roads to so called freight brokers in New York, Philadel phia, and other eastern cHies has grown to such an extent that railway managers are becominjr alarmed. They declare that unless 3omi means of curbing the payment of commissions on freight can be found it will cause aemoralia-ition in rates and an im mense iops in revenue. Executive traffic oificials of the western roads are holding a meeting in Chicago today to discuss this ques tion. Some of them are strongly in favor of having an investigation by the interstate commerce commission, believing it will bring disclosures that freight brokers have been dividing their commisaiors with the' shippers who route fre'g'.it through them. Oth er railway officials ar-i opposed to making a formal request to the com mission for an investigation, fearing it might develop that some of the roads have paid excessive commissions to brokers with full knowledge that the commissions would be divided with shippers, which would incriminate the railroads in the payment of rebates. While under these circumstances it is not thought probable that the meet ing today will result in a formal re quest for an investigation by the in terstate commerce commission, never theless it is certain that within a few days many important facts will be placed before the commission, and it is believed that "on its own motion" the commission will start an investi gation. One of the big western lines, which has been getting an unusually large amount of certain traffic originat ing in New York during the past six months, is said to be quietly trying to prevent any investigation of the freight brokerage business. ROGERS IS LOCATED. Man Who Disappeared from Albany N. Y., Is in Fear of Arrest. Providence, R. I.. Aug. 30. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Rogers, who dis appeared Friday night from the Hotel Ten Eyck, Albany, N. Y., leaving their two children, are in this city penniless and, according to Rogers' confession to Dr. M. W. Houghton, an old friend, he is in momentary fear of arrest. The couple came here from Boston, they- said,-- having walked the dis tance. They asked Dr. Houghton's aid in obtaining work. The physi cian supplied their immediate finan cial needs and referred them to Mr. Coria, agent of the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation company, to which Rogers was to have reported today for work as a clerk. Rogers said a check for $1,500, made out by him Friday m New York against a bank in southern California, was worthless. "I was crazed .with drink when I did it," he said. Advised to give him self up, he promised to do so imme diately and bade his wite farewell, but though almost an invalid she re fused to leave him. Detectives who were looking for him have not yet located him. THE ECLIPSE WAS EARLY. Old Sol's Exhibition Given This Morn ing Before Breakfast Time. Provided you were on hand about the time that the sun got over the horizon this morning, you were able to see a very neat and tidy little partial eclipse of the sun. When the sun first came into view, it was very easy to see that a big bite- had been taken out of the lower left hand corner. The rays of the sun were not strong enough to make the use of a smoked glass necessary. As the sun rose higher, the missing portion of the sun gradually diminished in area, and became more difficult to distinguish without the use of a glass. Even at the last, however, it was possible, by gazing at the sun for a few seconds to accustom the eyes, to see the eclipse: When the sun rose, the darkened seg ment amounted to probably one-fourth of the total surface of the sun. At 6:30, the eclipse had practically all disappear ed. With the naked eye, it was not possible to see any rays at all from the darkened portion. It simply looked as though that portion of the sun was missing entirely. The eclipse was visible in the eastern portion of the United States including the eastern half of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Texas. To all points fur ther west the obscuration ended before sunrise. To the people living in the southwestern portion of Canada the sun was completely obscured for about two minutes. Only twice before in the past 50 years has the eclipse been exceeded, on August 7, 1869 and July 29, 1878. WORKMAN INJURED BY FALL. Albert Day Fell Through Elevator Sim ft at Printing Plant.

PROVISIONS ARE FIRM. Demand of Packers Sends Prices Up a Trifle. Cattle and Hogs Quoted Steady to Lower. Chicago, Aug. 30. WHEAT A continu ance of perfect" weather for harvesting in the northwest had a depressing Influence on the wheat market here today. Lower cables gave additional emphasis to the weakness. Pit traders were the jjfincipal sellers. September opened c to e lower, at 78!&7Sc, and for a time held within the opening range. December open ed c to 3c lower, at KW4SS0V,c to 8014c and sold at 80(&80c and then reacted to 8flc. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 283 cars, against 294 cars a year ago. A feature of trading was persistent sell ing of the September delivery with con siderable changing into the December op tion. Under this pressure September de clined to 77c and December dropped to 79c. A report of a small export business being done at Kansas City caused consid erable covering late in the session, result ing in a partial recovery. The market, however, closed rather weak, with Sep tember off ?ic, at 78c. CORN Scattered demand from commis sion houses held corn steady in the face of a. number of adverse influences. Cables were lower, weather was again of a most excellent character for the rapid matur ing of the crop and receipts were fairly large. September opened He lower to c higher, at 5152c. and sold up to 52c. December opened a shade lower, at 42 42c, and later sold at 4243c. After declining to 51c the September delivery made a quick rally on covering by shorts, the price advancing to 53c. The close was strong with September up llio, at 53c.

FIVE BOYS ESCAPED. Inmates ol Reform School Made Break for Liberty. Five of the inmates of the boys' re form school in North Topeka made a successful break for liberty last night. All are at large still with the excep tion of one of their number, Milmer Butler, who was captured by the police this morning. While the sixty boys, who are con fined in the institution, were being marched to the dormitories, five of them, who were together in the line, broke from the ranks and dashed through the building and out of the door which was unlocked. As soon as they reached the grounds they scatter ed like a lot of young partridges, and by the time the guards at the school were ready to give chase, not one of the boys was In sight. The sixty boys were in charge of one guard and so sudden was the start of the five run aways that he -was unable to hinder them in any way. He could not give chase for that would have given all the other boys a fine chance to stam pede. Superintendent Charles said today that he did not care to make public the names of the boys, as some of them came from good families, and he did not wish to bring the families into notoriety. He said that there had been considerable uneasiness among the boys at the school in the last few days because of the articles appearing in the papers about the school which have been instigated by the efforts of lit. iava Harding to have an investiga tion of the school. Mr. Charles said that he believed the reason the boys ran away was that they had got an idea Into their heads that there was to be a new man in charge of the school and they they did not care to stay there if a new man was coming. politics ix cur noii.

Attractive Favors Were Rabbits' Feet Set in Gold. Newport, R. I., Aug. 30. Newport, which is now at its fullest, was rep resented brilliantly at The Breakers, assembling for the dance by Mrs. Vanderbilt, her first in some years at her -villa on the cliffs. No partic ularly elaborate preparations had been made. The interior decorations of The Breakers are on such a scale that no further embellishments were neces sary, but foliage plants, flowers from the gardens and hot houses of the place and especially American Beauty roses, which were used in profusion, being placed on the mantels and tables of the drawing room and re ception room as well as in the great reception hall. This latter room is quite gorgeous and finished in marble, a gallery run ning round it, the prevailing decora tions being red and gold. The broad stairway which leads to the gallery is impressive. In the gallery were sta tioned two orchestras. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter. Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, received their guests in the drawing room. The great hall was turned into a ballroom, and there dancing was general for the first part of the evening and until half past twelve. At that time supper was served in the dining room and break fast room adjoining, some tables be ing placed on the terrace, overlooking the ocean. The loggia, which also faces the ocean, was used as a smoking room and the outlook was picturesque through the use of many electric lights. After supper the cotillon was danced, Worthington Whitehouse leading with Miss Vanderbilt. There were many attractive favors including rabbits' feet set in gold, silver match safes, pencils of gold and silver, silver match boxes, collar boxes of carved leather, gold thimbles, boxes and frames of old brocades, colored prints, ribbons and orders. Mr. Whitehouse introduced many unique figures, the most amusing be ing the automobile figure, the favors for which were goggles of the latest design from Paris, which the dancers put on with ludicrous effect. There were also automobile caps. After the cotillon another supper was served. September 5 has been settled on by Mrs. Vanderbilt as the date of her private theatricals at The Breakers, which many feel will be one of the most interesting events of the season. The performance of "Anglais Tel Qu on Parle." a French comedy, will be the feature of the programme, but at least one more play will be given. The stage will be erected in the hall, which has ample proportions to meet all re quirements of a large audience. No Chance in Fever Situatirtn. New Orleans,' Aug. 30.

Should Be No Delay in Reaching Dry Districts. Meter SysteniShould Be Adopted Without Exception. To vote additional bonds to take care of needed extensions in the dry districts; To place the custojners of the water works department upon the meter system without exception, are some of the recommendations which the board of waterworks commissioners will probably make to the council.. The board meets this evening to transact the routine business which comes before it and also to issue a re port of recommendations to the city council. Frank Newland, president of the board, said today: "I am strictly in favor of taking care of these people who are in the part of the city yet un served by the plant and who have been paying taxes all these years for public improvements. Yet we can not take care of them until we are In a position to supply their wants. We first will have to take the choke out of the main at West and Fifth streets, arrange for additional wells and in crease the boiler capacity before we can hope to take care of the patrons who desire extensions. To do this I believe that the improvements in the plant should be made out of the sur plus income which accrues and that ex tensions should be arranged for by issuing bonds. There Is no other solu tion. I don't know what the exact amount of the bond issue should be; that is a matter which will have to be determined upon a careful examina tion. There are conditions and circum stances existing which I had no idea existed. I believe that the plant can be made to pay and prove to be a profitable investment but I believe that the city should have never ac quired possession of it the way it stood. I am a believer in the municipal own ship idea, however, and have con fidence in the ultimate outcome. "I am continually harassed by people who want the mains extended to their properties. I don't blame them for wanting it. They have been paying taxes for this protection and they should have it. There is not a question in my mind that we will have to abol ish the flat rates which are now In ef fect and place every customer on a meter basis. I have received a number of reports from the secretaries of various boards of water works trustees in cities over the United States and I find that the cost of pumpage is de creased and the supply is increased In every instance by the establishment of the meter system. I believe that we will have to come to this. There is a useless waste of water by the patrons who are on a flat basis.' Certalri Tpeople pay' for this waste and others go ex empt. Every one should pay for what he uses and no more, that is the only right method. Probably with the es tablishment of meter system we can re duce the rates somewhat. The rates certainly will not be raised. If we can reduce them by this system we will do It. "In addition we will probably take up the question of regulating the de partment and the use of the water by the customers. These rules are similar in use in all cities where there are mun icipal plants and we will adopt some similar system of government. "We will act upon the estimates which Superintendent Shaw will return to us this evening regarding the neces sary improvements needed to put the plant in good condition, we nave re ceived most of these estimates already but he will submit an estimate for the cost of purchasing twenty-two driven points, we want to get at tnese im provements as soon as possible, as it is costing us $10 a day to keep that Harrison street station open. This Is needed now under the circumstances, but it is bad business policy to keep up this drain. "I had no conception of the amount of work which devolved upon the members of the board until I took hold. Now I am beginning to realize what It means. I am in favor and will probably do so, of calling meetings of the board every few days until we have got some of these big matters off our hands and settled." Superintendent Shaw stated this morning that the cost or the addition al driven points would represent from (2,500 to $3,000. "This will increase the capacity of the plant," said he, "The new points will be six inches In diameter where the old ones are but four inches. There are twenty-four points now in use and the new ones will largely take the place of the old ones. Councilman S. T. Howe, who repre- sents the section of the Fifth ward which is clamoring for extensions, said today: "I am in favor of issuing bonds- to cover the cost of these ex tensions, if it is found necessary to se cure the money that way. It is an out rage for the people to pay for fire pro tection out there and then force them to stand idly by and watch their homes go up in smoke. They are entitled to the extensions. Chipmunk's Brazen Treasure. Pittston. Pa.. Aug. 30. Frank Mc Canna and John Toye of Pittston were strolling through the woods near here yesterday when a chipmunk attracted their attention, and McCanna gave chase. The chipmunk disappeared, and Mc Canna rooted around the place. He uncovered a. piece of cloth, and con tinued until he had dug up three bags containing 300 pounds of brass. The bags were replaced, and Chief Cos grove of Duryea was notified. The chief guarded the spot last night, and captured James Vardo car rying away the plunder. The brass had been stolen from railway cars. Slain Thoronsnfnre To Lewi and Clark Exposition, Port, land, Oregon.

Steps had already been taken to secure his pardon, and at the request of Warden Jewett they were hastened and Dalton left prison this morr.ix1;;. SUES F0R$30,000, Brother of Late Henry Hull After Part of Estate. A suit for $30,000 was filed today before Probate Judge Haydert against the estate of Henry Hull by his broth er. Dr. Wm. Hull, of North Topeka. About fifty years ago the head of a wealthy family decided to leave Eng land and emigrate to America, the land of greater promise and free dom. The family, consisting of the parents and four sons,- emigrated to New York and later moved to Chi cago, where the boys grew to manhood and entered various professions. Two of the sons, Henry and Thomas, en gaged in civil engineering and after wards engaged in railroad building, adding to the fortune which had al ready been accumulated by the elder Hull. An understanding was had among the brothers'- that they -should all remain single and that the estate should descend from one to another, the oldest always having control of the estate, in accordance with an old Eng lish custom. After the death of the parents the estate came into the hands of the two older brothers, Henry and Thomas, who kept it intact. In the meantime the compact into which they had entered to remain single had been broken and Henry Hull married and moved to Topeka, where he lived un til the time of his death, about eigh teen months ago. Thomas died a num ber of years ago, and in accordance with the agreement, into which they had entered his estate went, to his brother Henry, the brother Alfred having died in the meantime. There had- been no disagreement between the two remaining brothers, and William contends that an agreement existed between the two of them that at the death of either the. estate should de scend to the survivor, and that under that agreement he is entitled to the estate left by his brother Henry. When seen by a Journal reporter Mrs. Hull had not heard of the filing of the suit and said:. "I have not been notified that such a suit has been com menced but I have been annoyed very much at numerous times since my hus band's death by this brother who has asked for favors in. money matters irom me. Ttie story that the money that my husband left to me when he died came from an estate is without foundation. My husband and his brother Thomas had been in partner ship in the railroad building for a great many years and made their money as partners In that way, and it was the understanding that the money that they had earned in this way should be left to the "surviving brother. My husband as mastr "car 'builder for the Northwestern railroad built 'the hrst Pullman car that was ever built and the firm of my. husband and his brother made their money out of their railroad and several patents that they invented, and did not inherit it. One of the inventions is the fish plate now in use on nearly all or the railroads. This man Wm. Hull who has filed this suit was never recognized by any of his brothers either socially or in a business way and while the closest friendship has always existed between the re maining brothers William was never treated as a brother by any of the boys and this suit has only been brought for the sake of annoying me, and In the hopes that I may offer something as a compromise. About six months ago suit was started and the attorneys called upon me with a proposition to effect a compromise.: There is ab solutely no ground for-a suit nor have I a cent to donate in the way of a com promise. Swindler Goes to Prison. Chicago, Aug. 30.: Edward J.

With a bill for extras which would furnish a school of instruction for the proverbial summer resort hotel man ager, the Marsh Urldge Co. has at tempted to offset the reported attempt on th epart of the city council to col lect forfeit of $590 for delay In con struction, exceeding the time limit, which was placed for July 1. The bill for extras amounts to $1. 967.79, and was submitted to City En gineer McCabe by C. C. Loomis, of the Marsh Bridge company, and his at torney, Harry Larimer, this morning. "There is only one item there, gen tlemen, that I will O. K.," said City Engineer McCabe, as he glanced over the paper and long arrav of figures, "and that Is the item of $15.78 for a retaining wall which I ordered the men to put in. There is not a thing in the other items that I will go on record as approving. I believe, how ever", that you have done your work faithfully and" correct and in a true workmanship manner, and for that reason I believe that the city council should not attempt to collect the for feit. I have handed in a final esti mate to the council for the full amount of the estimate of $24,000 without paying any attention to the matter of a forfeit." The bill for extras is dependent mainly upon the claim of delay which was occasioned by the presence of an old foundation wall and cofferdam which was struck in sinking the first abutment. The claim is based upon the stand that the city failed to notify the bridge company that the old foun dation wall existed In the bed of the river. "We never, were required to fur nish, them,. with,an,ything but the pro fUe,xf the,elev.tion of the river bed," said City Engineer McCabe. "If they wanted to .find, out what was in the bed of the river they should have sunk test pits first. We were not re quired to tell what they would find, and they can't bring any claim against us on that ground. In addition, I saved them considerable money in a number of ways." The bill, which looks rather amus ing on the face of it and which con tains all the charges which could be imagined, follows: Labor, retaining wall.. $15.78 Extra paving 119.87 Extra curbing 6.90 Extra sidawalk 11.60 Cost of labor.bursting water pipe 5.92 Total $150.07 Add 15 per cent engineering, incl dentals 24.00 Grand total $184.07 ""Extra cost of excavating for abutment due to presence of old foundation and coffer dam not shown in profile, as fol lows: 31 days' labor less 14 days, leav ing 17 days extra at $52 per day $S84.00 Foreman, 17 days at $5.. 85.00 Time keeper, 17 days, $3.50 59.50 17 days of time limit continued at $10 170.00 16 days of time limit consumed by reason of high water at $10. 160.00 Cost of caring for work during high water 332.22 Three days delay by reason of laying water and gas mains on bridge 30.00 Three days' time foreman and timekeeper 25.00 Repairing old pedestal 7.50 Change in curb a'rid sidewalk 30.00 Grand 'total ..$1,967.79 The matter of collecting the forfeit will be brought up at the council meet ing Monday evening. There is a move ment on foot among, some of the coun cilmen to drop the collection of a for feit. If this is done there is no ques tion but what the bridge, company will drop their bill of extras. "It is simply a bluff," said one of the councilmeh In characterizing the act of the bridge company. TAKES UP HER WORK. Father Florence Selling War Cr ys to Wife's Old Patrons.
