The destruction of small police sub stations continued until midnight. It is impossible to ascertain the exact number destroyed, but It is estimated that fifteen were wrecked. Two of the larger iolice stations were also de stroyed The mobs erenerally prevent ed damage to adjoining private prop c.-tr hv r-ao-o-ititr the rtoliee kiosks into the middle of the streets before ap plying the torch. Shortly after midnicht another at tempt was made against the Kokumin Srihimbun offices, but the police dis persed the attackers, killing one of the assailants. The fact that the man was cut in the back angered the crowd which demanded the arrest of the policeman. Detachments of national troops mobilized were called out during the night. The crowds received the sol diers good naturedly and cheered them. The principal duty of the troops was the protection of the police. Started From Closing of Park. The anger of the crowds was chiefly on account of the closing of the park and the denial of the people to meet, which is under the charge of the mu nicipality. After the park was closed the mayor and council met and pro tested to the government and insisted that the park be reopened. It is now claimed that all the turbulence result ed from the indiscreet closing of the park. Students and young street row dies seemed to be the largest partici pants in the disorder. The- firemen succeeded in saving the main structure of the home minister's residence. It is impossible to secure accurate figures of the casualties. The Jiji estimates them at two dead and .several wounded. Among those seri ously and slightly injured are 100 policemen, The wounds are mostly Blight sword thrusts and bruises. The city is exceedingly quiet this morning. Serious riotinc followed an attack it me umce or tne KoKumin Shimbun the government organ. A mob attack ed and burned the official residence of the minister of home affairs, which utood between the Nobles club and the Imperial hotel, and faced Hibaya park, which was the storm center throughout the day. Threatening demonstrations occurred in the neigh borhood of the official homes of Pre mier Katsura and Baron Komura, for eign minister, who is now in America but the police succeeded in preventing injury to the occupants or damage to the houses.

A member of the mob said to the cor respondent: -We burned the house of the minister for the purpose of attract ing the attention of the emoeror. We want him to refuse to ratify "the treaty MVe believe that those surrounding him prevent him from correctly understand ing the popular attitude toward the dis graceful, humiliating peace."- Foreign Legations Guarded. The only serious disturbance this morning was the partial wrecking of a printing office which was assisting the Kokuuiiii Shimbun to publish the edi tions. The crowd attempted to enter the building but were prevented by soldiers and some fighting resulted. The police were withdrawn and kept in the background on account of popu lar disfavor. The soldiers and gen d'armes are performing general duty, the soldiers guarding the foreign lega tions. Apparently there is an out break of anti-foreign sentiment but the government is anxious to prevent the injury of members of the legations and other foieigners. A few foreigners have been caught by the mobs and roughly used. The Nichi Nichi says: "How can the government retain its dignity in the presence of such rioting? The members of the committee appointed at yesterday's meeting have good standing and are not irresponsible agi tators. The police exceeded their au thority with a result derogatory to the honor and dignity of Tokio. Popular indignation was set on fire and the police finally were unable to keep or der. If the present conditions continue the contagion may spread and in nocent people and their property be damaged." Public Still in the Dark. Tokio. Sept. 7. The office of the Ko kumin newspaper, continues to be be sged. The doors and windows are blockaded and lines of police enclose the entire block. Heavy police reserves are within call. A detachment of mounted gen d'armes is stationed in front of the foreign office, prepared to meet emer gencies. About the government build ings, the military display is not con spicuous. A few sentries are patrolling in iront of the government buildings and official residences. The main forces of the military remain concealed. It is predicted that rioting will be resumed tonight, under cover of darkness. It is feared that trouble will follow the pub lic meetings planned for later in tire week, although opponents of the gov ernment say that if the people are giv en the constitutional right to hold pub lic meetings of protest, order will pre vail. An irritating feature of the situation is the continued failure of the govern ment to inform the public of the exact results at Portsmouth. Not a single feature of the negotia tions has been communicated officially to the people. The result has been much popular resentment. The people argue that they fought and paid for the war and are entitled to know the results. Arrests since noon yesterday number about 200. The police captured 80 as sailants of the home minister's residence and detained the prisoners within a compound until morning, fearing that the populace might attempt a rescue. The total of dead reported today is four. He Wants to See Root. New York, Sept. 7. Baron Komura, af ter readinc the Associated Press dis patches telling of the riots in Tokio and the Np-r,ence of the Harriman party, im mediately endeavored to rtsch Secretary Root. Mr. Sato said Baron Komura was extremely desirous of seeing Mr. Root at once and that a message wocld be sent Mr. Root at once, asking for an inter view. What purpose Baron Komura has, Mr. Sato would not say. SUES FOR $25,000. Mho Wood Asks Pay for Defeating Post Check Legislation. Omaha, Nob., Sept. 7. Mae C. Wood has filed a civil suit in the district court Rgainst United States Senator Thomas C. Piatt and the United States Express com pany for $25,000 for alleged services ren dered to the defendants. Miss AVood's petition alleges that while she was employed by the government in the postoffice department at Washington she rendered service to the defendants by "tipping off' the inside workings of the office and by assisting to keep out of Postmaster General Payne's annual report of May, 1903. a recommendation of the post check system, thus saving the express company several hundreds o thousands of dollars. In the affidavit Miss Wood sets up the non-residence of the defendants and asks the court to grant a garnishment of the express company. live Bodies Wash Ashore. Cleveland, Sept. 7. W. A.

The woman is believed to be the wife of the cook. fOOr. iC jiLj '3kl Jv j Sectional plan of the Santa Fe's mammoth grain storage bins just being completed at Argentine. READY ONOCT. I Santa Fe's Mammoth Grain Stor age Bins Completed, Roof Is Now Being Put On the Structure. MAllVEL OF ITS KIND. Triumph of Modern Engineering and Architecture. Series of Concrete Tanks 80 Feet in Height. A remarkable example of modern en gineering and architecture is just being completed by the Santa Fe railroad at Argentine. It is a series of mammoth grain storage bins which will hold over a million bushels of wheat, built of con crete by means of a giant "form" or mould. Chief Kngineer V. B. Storey, of the Santa Fe, who is responsible for the wonderful structure, will have the satis faction of knowing that this is not alone the only one of its kind in the country, but is also the largest grain elevator in the great middle west wheat belt. C. A. Fellows, of Topeka, is the con tractor in charge of the construction of the buildings, and although they are mammoth in size and he did not break ground for them until April, he expects o be able to turn them over to the company by the first of October. In fact, practically all of the work on the elevator proper is completed and the storage bins have been built and all that remains to be done is to roof them over. The elevator has a capacity of 250,000 bushels of grain while the storage bins will hold 1,250,000 bushels. Both struc tures, which will be joined together, will cost in the neighborhood of $450, 000. It is in the construption of the storage bins that a novel piece of work has been done, and taken as a whole there is not a collection of storage bins like them in the country. They are circular in form with a diameter of twenty-five feet and a height of eighty feet and are built of concrete rein forced with steel rods. The walls of. the bins are six inches thick. There are twenty-four of these bins and they are Joined so that the structure is one massive monolith. There are other concrete grain bins connected with elevators in other parts of the coun try but they are separate. This is the only instance known where the bins are joined together and the plans for them being built in this way were adopted by Air. Storey. In joining them together a great advantage has been gained. The spaces formed by the junction of the walls of the bins can also be used for bins. There are fifteen of these spaces which are in reality just so many more additional bins created by the construction of the original twenty-four. In Either storage elevators where concrete bins have been built the bins are separate and the space between them is of no ser vice whatsoever. It also adds strength to the building. Work was begun on the foundation of the buildings on April 15. and to secure an adequate foundation Mr. Fellows was compelled to sink two thousand two hundred piles thirty feet in the ground. These were then cov ered with two feet of concrete. This foundation work alone cost $58,000. The elevator proper where the grain will be cleaned is built of corrogated iron and is ninety-two feet high. The bins take up a space of one hundred by one hundred and fifty feet and they are set on a basement which is twelve and one-half feet above the founda tion. Two large galleries, each twenty feet wide, connect the elevator with the bins. Through -them run buckets on endless chains, which will carry the grain from the elevator to the bins after it has been measured and cleaned. The bins can be emptied into cars or other vehicles which can be run in the basement and the bottom of the bins are four feet above the highest water mark of any flood that has oc curred in that territory. Catholics Attack Salvation Army Station at Montreal. English Speaking Citizens Take Up the Army's Defense. A BATTLE FOLLOWS. Some of the Salvationists Ser iously Injured. Protestant Militia Preparing to Take Part in Trouble. Montreal, Sept. 7. The Catholics in St. Louis de Mole, northern suburb of the city, attacked the newly establish ed Salvation Army station there, and seriously injured some of the Salvation ists.

More rioting is expect ed tonight, as the Protestant residents are organizing to defend the Salvation ists and will be aided by members of some of the English Protestant militia corps. INCIDENT IS CLOSED. Morocco Has Satisfied Demands of France in Full. Paris. Sept. 7. A dispatch to the for eign office from St. Rene Taillandier, minister to Morocco, announces that the Morocan government has yielded to the French demands and given complete satisfaction. The foreign office was highly gratified this morning to receive the dispatch from the minister at Fez announcing that the sultan had yielded all points demanded in the French ultimatum. The dispatch says that September 4, the day preceding the expiration of the ul timatum the grand vizier. Si Feedoul Garnit, accompanied by a retinue went to the French legation, where he was received by the minister and his staff and the leading European officials. The grand vizier then publicly presented a formal apology for the arrest of the Algerian Bouzain, and handed the min ister the amount of the indemnity de manded for the imprisoned man and also presented letters from the Morocco ministry of foreign affairs announcing that the caid responsible for Bousain's arrest had been removed. The French minister answered accepting the ex cuses and reparation and thereupon the preparations for the departure of the legation preliminary to the enforcement of France's demands were suspended. The foreign office tier ays the repara tion Is complete onfall points and that the incident is closed. Raisull's Mother a Prisoner. New York, Sept. 1 During a Kabyle wedding ceremony at Benimsuar, tne mother of the bandit, Raisuli. was ta ken unawares and captured, according to a Herald dispatch from Tangier.

Harriman, president of the Southern Pacific, has been threatened and the Marquis Ito, president of the privy council, has been stoned by mobs. Neither of them was injured.

New York, Sept. 7. At the South ern Pacific offices it was said that no word "had been received from Mr. Harriman from Tokio. His associates were of the opinion that the hostile demonstrations was in no sense per sonal. Mr. Harriman's visit to Japan, it was declared, was entirely for recreation and pleasure.

Thaddeus Welch, who is charged with criminal assault, had his preliminary hear ing in the city court yesterday afternoon and was bound over to the district court under a $1,000 bond. Wrthir Indication Chicago, Sept. 7. Forecast for Kansas: Partly cloudy tonight and Friday, with probably showers in southeast portion; WED TONER UNCLE Mrs. Phoebe Abies Lives 20 Years in Ignorance of Fact. Judge Dana Annals the Mar riage Today. BLIND CHILD WAS BORN Parents Quarreled and The Truth Came Out. Mother Who Held Terrible Secret Then Revealed Fact. Married for 23 years to her uncle is the situation that confronted Mrs. Phoebe M. Abies until today when Judge Dana of the district court handed down a decree annulling the marriage ceremony performed at Cottonwood Falls in September, 1882. Back of the annulment of a marriage contract is a story rarely met in real lile, a story of the unintentional vijla tion of the statute relative to intermar riage. The principals in the case, Phoebe M. Abies and her husband. Win. H. Abies, met by chance. He was liv ing in Topeka at the time while she lived at Cottonwood Falls, and after a brief courtship they were married with out the knowledge or consent of the mother, and without either party know ing that there was a relationship exist ing between them. Until two months ago, it is claimed, neither knew of the relationship. The couple moved to Shawnee coun ty and located near Rossville where they have continued to live since. iad the course of their married life. continued to run smoothly they would nave probably finished their days in ignorance of the fact that they are uncle and niece. A yeaV ago a family quarrel came up and increased in fury until it became so serious that the prin cipals separated, the husband contin uing to live on the farm while the wife came to Topeka where she has since been. v After having lived apart for a year the mother of Mrs. Abies wrote her ap prising her of the fact that the man that she had been living with for more than twenty years was not only her husband but that he is her uncle as well. Nineteen years ago a daughter was born to the couple, who was blind at birth and who has been a helpless imbecile all of her life. This blind helpless child it seems has bten the binding tie between the couple for years and as they grew further apart as their difference in creased the care of the child seemed to be the only thing: upon which they could agree. An agreement was finally- reached that a. decree of di vorce should be obtained by the mother of the girl, the father to retain posses sion of the farm and the property that had been accumulated in the 20 years of toil; that he should have possession of the blind child and should provide for her, and at the time of his death the property to go to her. This agree ment was made outside of the court but is embodied In the decision handed down by Judge Dana in his decree of annulment. By th decree the girl is deprived of lawful parentage as the supreme court has held that in a case of" this kind no marriage has ever existed. The woman who is the mother of the girl with a view of pro viding proper care for her offspring sacrifices all of her interests m the property which the couple have ac cumulated in the 20 years that they have lived and toiled on the farm. The property consists of a farm near Rossville and is worth about $3,000. In speaking of the case Mr. John V. Abrams who is the attorney for the plaintiff said: "This is one of unusual cases that it sometimes falls to the lot of a lawyer to handle. It is the nrst case or the kind that has come under my observation and in looking over the decisions of the su preme court I find but two similar cases. The law holds that a marriage never existed and that the offspring in a case of this kind are without legal parentage and that either parent may marry without the formality of a di vorce proceedings." PITTSBURG TOMOVE UP WiU Enter List of First Class Kansas Cities. Pittsburg, Kan., has through its mayor, H. C. Lemon, notified Governor Hoch that it is ready to graduate out of the second class cities of Kansas, and join the municipalities of the first class. The census made by the cjty as sessor, and completed in May, shows that the population is 13,012, which is just 12 more than is required by the city charter act. This is the seventh city to get into the first class. The others are Kansas City, Topeka, "Wichita, Leavenworth, Atchison and Fort Scott. Fort Scott is the only one of the lot which does not have the required 15,000. In 1900 its population was 10,322, but it has grown several thousand since then. Pittsburg will be the only city of tha first class in the Third congressional district. This fact will give it consider able prestige over its competitors. It has had a rapid growth in population, alone -with all the other towns in south eastern Kansas, and before long it is likelv that Cofteyville, Iola. Chanute, Independence and others will be past the 15.000 mark. Returns from the cities of the state through the decennial census have not yet been announced, but large increases are certain to be shown in all the sbove mentioned towns. The state law makes it mandatory upon a city when its population exceeds 15,000 to notify the governor and have the necessary proclamation published putting the city into the first class. The principal difference is that cities of the first class are reguiaieu uj iuc charter act, and are allowed to pay a salary to their mayor and eouncil. Fire Breaks Out Again. ilhanv. Ore.. Sent. 7.

The same cool damp muggy brand of weather that has been with us for the week past is with us yet. A damp heavy mist that now and then amounts to almost a light rain hangs over the city and the temnerature has so far not been able to reach the 70 mark. The maximum temperature for the past 24 hours was 61. which is five de grees lower than at any other point in the state. Cloudy weather is report ed from every station in the state save one, at Toronto the report shows that it is raining. The temperature has risen some what in Kansas but fallen In western Missouri; cloudy weather was general this morning.

MORE DEVLIN TALK. Three Plans for Benefit of Creditors Heine Considered. The creditors of the estate of C. J. Devlin and of the First National bank have adopted the course of their cam paign to best handle the contest to get their money. One of three will be fol lowed. They are: 1. The formation of a syndicate. 2. The formations of a trust com pany. 3. Threshtng out the matter in the federal court by means of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. t That an attempt is being made to syndicate all of the Devlin holdings in the hands of eastern capitalists was an nounced some time ago in the State Journal. But the method and manner in which it was instigated was not an nounced. Neither was anything said with reference to the plans to be followed in case this one fails. W. H. Horine, a member of the firm of Horine Co., of Chicago, financial brokers, is an intimate personal friend of Mr. Devlin. Horine loaned Devlin money at different times, and when the latter failed, was a creditor for $105, 000. Just as soon as the failure was an nounced, the creditors got together at Kansas City. Mr. Horine, being one of the largest, was chosen as chairman of what is known now as the Devlin credi tors' committee. When Devlin left for Ireland, Mr. Horine accompanied him to New York, and between the two it was agreed that if a syndicate could be formed to take up for properties it should b done. Haskins and Sells, expert accountants, were appointed to go through the Dev lin affairs and make a report. They are at work on it right now and expect to be able within a week, or pro bably less, to say whether this plan will carry or not. Mr. Horine has in formed Sam Radges, chairman of the First National Bank crreditors' com mittee that he will tell him without de lay the findings of the accountants. If this report be unsatisfactory ana show that a syndicate will be an im possibility, then Mr. Horine will at once come here to xopeka ana can a meeting of creditors and see if a trust company cannot be formed. This is the new feature m tne De velopments. Mr. Horine and Mr. Rarges are working hand in glove in the matter, and within a short time the public will have some genuine infor mation as to tne strengtn oi tne Devlin properties. This accounting will snow almost exactly how it stands. People who are interested have been continually de manding information concerning the matter, but none can be given out or an authoritative nature until Haskins and Sells make their statement. "I expect," said Mr. Radges this morning, "to hear something- from Mr. Horine within a week on the subject. If the syndicate proposition falls through, Horine will come here and we will attempt to form a, trust com pany. If that cannot be done, then by means of involuntary bankruptcy pro ceedings, the matter will have to be finished out in the rederal court. "But the main point in forming either a syndicate or a trust company is to prevent the litigation which a federal court process win involve. That is the very thing we are trying to accomplish. I do not know now whether we will be able to do it, in fact no one knows. These three plans are the ones which will be followed in the order named. There is nothing further to give out. From this people can understand that we are simply waiting on the report of the account ants. That will tell the story. I ex pect to hear rrom it in a week. ONE'MAN KILLED. Santa Fe Has Freight Wreck Near Florence. The Santa Fe offices report a collis ion early today between two extra freight trains at Goode. a switching sta tion six miles south of Florence, on the El Dorado branch. Fireman C. F.

USE BIGGUNS. The Military Is Trying Hard to Suppress Disorders at Baku. So Far They Appear Powerless to Handle the Situation. MUST BUT OIL ABROAD Russia's Main Source of Snpply Nearly Wiped Out. Large Quantities Demanded by Lines of Transportation. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7. The news from Baku received up to the time of the filing of this dispatch is of th gloomiest character. The 'Armenian and Tartar warring factions now ap pear to be entirely beyond control. The streets of Baku seem to b unsafe for the inhabitants and tha force of troops to be inadequate to restrain th anarchical tendency of the combat ants in the surrounding region. According to rellabla reports, th troops have been forced .to withdraw from the suburb of Balakhan, where on Tuesday the rioters aet fire to th oil works, and that placa is now in the hands of the Tartars, who have completed their work of destruction and who, it is said, massacred the in habitants who did not accompany the troops in their retirement. Telephonic and railroad communication between JSaku and the suburban oil centers is cut, ana late last night it waa reported that the wires to Baku were down. The viceroy of the Caucasus bas dis patched reinforcements of troops from Tiflis, but owing to the conditions throughout the whole of the southarn part of the Caucasus, with these rein forcements the troops will be inade quate to cope with the situation. In the suburban region the fight is des perate and the troops are using artil lery. Representatives of the oil indimtrv here are utterly despondent, and they declare that on the basis of telegrams so far received more than half of the industry in the Baku region has been wiped out and that the fire is making rapid inroads into the remainder of the oil territory. The Baku reporter of a prominent company has telegraphed nis ot. eiersDurg neaaquarters as fol lows: "It is no longer a question of saving our property, but one of getting out alive." A press dispatch from Baku says the rival factions are, concentrating in their quarters there. Murders are fre quent The fire continues in the Black Town quarter and in Bibiebau Ener getic measures and .heavy renforce-. ments of troops are immediately nec essary. Other advices state that a hot fight is going on between Arme nians and Tartars at Bibiebat and that great fires are still raging at Sabunto and Nomanl fed by immense tanks of naphtha, of which there are sixteen in that region, and that the conflagra- tion at Baku where up to last even ing the tanks of the Society of Baku were intact, is steadily increasing. Un der these conditions, with fighting go ing on and with a hurricane blowing, the advices say it will be almost im possible to extinguish the fires. Oil men who assembled at St. Peters burg formulated measures which they deemed imperative and which they pre sented to Finance Minister Kokovsoff. These measures which will be laid be fore the emperor after detailing the cause leading to the present situation ask that the oil works be surrounded by troops and that the inflammable ele ments, namely the Armenians and Tartars be entirely excluded from the oil region. The oil men declare that they do not hold the workmen responsi ble and regretable events were not caused by the working men's movement. A prominent oil man explained to the Associated Press that the loss would fee more far reaching than the mere finan cial value of the oil and naphtha con sumed and of the tank buildings and machinery destroyed, because the sup ply of oil for purposes of fuel could not be replaced inside of a year, and that the transportation lines of Russia which make a heavy use of oil for fuel would suffer greatly. He said it was the cus tom to accumulate stocks of naphtha in winter for consumption in summer and that there now was no recourse but to import oil at high prices or have resort to the costly adoption of plants and lo comotives, which would consume other fuel. It is expected the ministry of finance will take immediate steps to remove otito reduce the tariff on oil, as suggested by the conference of ex perts and others interested in the use of oil for fuel held at the suggestion of the minister of finance. Prices Go Up. Tiflis, Caucasus, Sept. 7. All the naphtha works at Baku have been de stroyed and all the factories and other works there are closed. The military authorities are hastening measures to cope with the desperate situation at Baku. Artillery has been dispatched from here by special trains.

DEMOCRATS TO HELP. Will Stand by Roosevelt on Railroad Rate Legislation. New York, Sept. 7. Senator Charles A.

Herniis Expected to &o Against Ilis Own Record. Hamburg Belle Is Another Miler in Best of Form. New York, Sept. ".-An effort will be made at the Brighton meeting to bring the world's time record for a circular mile back to ths east. The record (1:37 2-5) belongs to Dick Welles., and was made at the Washington park track; Chicago. At the solicitation of a number of owners who have good middle-distance runners In their, barns the Brighton management will put on a race which it -is hoped- will bring out the speediest horses in training and restore tha rec ord to the east. It will be an over-night event with $1, 200 added for horses 3-year-olds and upward, with rpecial weights. Colts, regardless of the age, will carry 112 pounds, while mares and geldings will carry 10$. This will put the crack' 3-year-oldi, of the season on an even basis with the other horses, and probably is a wise provision. The conditions of the racf provide for J50O extra for the Winner if the track record of 1:38 is beaten a.id $1,000 extra if the world's record of 1:37 2-5 is low ered. Several owners have already sig nified their willingness to prepare their horses for such a race and there is no reason why the event should not prove a. great feature. It would afford a splendid chance for Hermis to Sower his own track record, as in nothing but a race under some special conditions would he be so leni ently treated in the matter of weight. Hamburg Belle is another miler just now at top-notch form and there are any number of horses that misht be attracted by such a race. By many the purse may not he con sidered -commensurate with the import ance of the race, but this is not liable to be a drawback to the race. Any own er would be pleased to retire his horse for the; season, and perhaps for good, with a world's record mile to his or her credit, regardless of the- money that might be won In making the record. DREX1TJSS WILX, STAY. Manager of Pittsburg club WiU Not Go to American. Pittsburg. Pa., Sept. 7. There Is absolutely no truth to the reports that have been sent out from Pittsburg re cently that Dreyfuss would jump to the American league with his Pirate team next year. Some enterprising local correspondent alwaya springs this yarn on the public whenever any one gives him an opportunity to print it. Dreyfuss did iiave a charice 1:0 -become a part of the' American" leapue1 at one time, but he turned that offerin answer to any old question has never been renewed. Thers Is not the slightest chance for any such move on the part of the Pittsburg club now without bringing on another baseball war, as the Na tional and American leagues are work ing along now under a peace agree ment and such a move would mean open hostilities, and there is not a magnate in either league 'who is anx ious for any more baseball war. The two years of peace since the signing of the famous agreement at Cincin nati have been prosperous ones for most of the clubs. Pittsburg fans are pulling hard to win the pennant this year. They have not yet given up hope of beating out the Giants, and the six-game lead that McGraw has over the locals is not too great a handicap for the Pirates to overcome if they keep up the pace they are going at present. The citi zens are turning out here in great shape to see the Pirates play, and the Labor day crowd was one of the largest of the season. The Pittsburg management claims that the Pirate club has paid the New York club more money for games played in Pittsburg this year than the Giants' club has paid to Pittsburg for games played in New York. This makes Pittsburg the banner baseball town in the country, although Chicago must be close to the top, as last -year they were only a short dis tance behind New York in attendance. Herman Defeats Mowatt. Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 7. In fifteen rounds of the moat vicious fighting Kid Hermann won a decision over Tommy Mowatt at Reed's Lake last night.

"Don't worry about thai.. I will fight Britt at Colma Satur day, but you can say what my manager, Nolan, has done meets with my ap proval. If he objects to Jeffries he has good reason. I will take any man for referee barring Billy Roche. He can't act but any of the others will do. This is my position in the matter." Jimmy Britt appeared to be not the slightest disturbed by the referee mat ter. He said today: "I am not bothering myself a particle about the referee. This is out of my hands entirely. I am out here to fight and will be ready to enter the rins; Saturday. Jeffries will reteree the fight, and there will be 11 purse split.- Jef fries is suitable to me, and he was to Nelson up to now. One thins about Jeffries, he has the confidence of the public and that is worth something." Manager Coffroth said: "The referee has been chosen, and the fight will take place at 1:30 on Saturday afternoon." San Francisco, Sept. 7. Frisco is fight mad. The bell boys at the hotels feint and sidestep r the policemen on the cor ners say: Colma, Saturday afternoon," and it was only this morning that the writer was carried six blocks past the destina tion while the gripman and conductor were discussing the tine points of the coming battle. Never in the history of ring battles in the west has a fight created such in tense interest. One can hear nothing discussed here but fight and bets, al though the betting proposition at pres ent is mostly talk. The stories to the effect that Britt would rule favorite at almost prohibitive odds, simply eman ates from the pipe. In fact the betting on the coming battle is extremely light. The sporting men as a rule wager larger amounts when there is an ace in the hole. There is no buried ace as far as the coming battle is concerned, un less it lays with the third man in the ring, and the question or reteree is tar from being settled. In previous battles between fighters of prominence, one man has always overshadowed the other in the betting. In such cases heavy wagers were fre quent. But in the fight scheduled for Saturday afternoon one can't find a shade, and consequently sports are afraid to take a chance either way. As Harry Corbett said today: "The fight looks too -tough to bet on. I have bet large amounts on a number of fights, but on this occasion I think that I will keep my coin in my pocket. One day I will go to Britt's camp and come away feeling that he is worth a good bet, then I will make a trip to camp Nelson and after seeing the strenuous Dane wallop his sparring partners I find boxing gloves on my hands and am unable to reach my coin, it should be the greatest fight in the history of pugilism between little men, but the proposition looks too tough to bet on. It is simply a tossup." Everything is clean and nice at the Britt headquarters. From the training clothes to the punching bag everything is .new. The gymnasium would do credit to any club in the country and even the attendants look "dudey." And -the work of Britt and his trainers com pares favorably with the equipment. Britt is long on speed and cleverness and he loves to show the crowd (which, by the way, pays dear for the privilege) what he can do irtthe boxing line. He is certainly a wonder on his feet and is as clever as Tommy Ryan with his hands. In the afternoon he boxed eleven rounds and. wound up the day's work with a fifteen minute siege with the punching bag. He was as fresh at the end as when he started, but. of course. boxing with sparring partners and punching the bag is entirely differ ent from punching "Battling" Nelson, and Jimmy may rot snow up so wen Saturday afternoon as he did Wednes day. At Camp Nelson one is sorry that he made the trip that is, when he -first arrives. But after the good natured Dane gets down to work one is willing to make allowance for the ramshackle training quarters and dingy layouts in general. It i3 undoubtedly the dirtiest quarters that ever shettered a fighter training for a bis battle. But-Nelson is there, and that's all the crowd wants. There is nothing pretty in the Dane's makeup. He slouches in the ring with a grin on his face and tears into his sparring partners as though he was going after that $50,000 purse. Nelson is not a boxer, nor does his speed im press one greatly, but the way he does up his sparring partners goes to show that he can fight, and at the real rough game he has no equal. "I go after my sparring-partners just like I will go after Britt Saturday," said Nelson. "I have no new punches, nor any new training clothes, but I've got the wallop and it will bring home the money. I won't give Britt a chance to box this time. It is going to be fis-ht from the kickoff until ten is counted over the 'native son.' I figure that twenty rounds will be s- j at.-----.

The other day, in the advertisement columns of my morning paper, I was rather brought up by a lady who there gave me to understand that her bap tismal name was orthographed as well, say, as "Edythc." I confess that I was ungallant enough to doubt this orthography. My belief is, in fact, that, in the official record, this name would be found written in the usual way, and that its possessor had varied her godfather's and godmother's or thography to suit her own personal ideas of the picturesque. A day or two later I found reason to suppose that variations of this kind are rather the rule than 6therwise. Here was another lady who assured me that she had been christened in the name of "Mai;" and, before I was much older, I was confronted with a startling phonetic variant in the shape of "Mairi." Now, a la rigueur, a future bride may spell "May" with an "i" final, and no great violation be done to first principles; but when it comes to a two-i'd Mary, the officiating clerk would, I conceive, be justified in. a de mand for the production of the bap tismal certificate. Of course no one of my sex with any experience of: the ways of the other, ever misemploys time in the attempt to fathom the rea son, or the want of reason, for wo men's actions. Presumably, however, this Mary had decided that her name was shared by too many others, and that, rather than be a Mary among so many, she would be a Mairi all by her self. Sponsors, perhaps, are not con siderate enough in their nomenclative treatment of their patients. "How," one of these w-as once heard to inquire"; cculd they ever call me Susan?" feihe aid not, as did May, put herself' Into French, and become Suzanne; she' is become Japanese, and San; and the man who marries her will have to take her at that. She Is the only San or mv acquaintance, in these parts, fas Mairi must be of her acquaintance. Thus both these perverters have achieved the distinction they aimed at, and San in a much less reprehensible way than Mairi. Correspondence In London Pall Mall Gazette. MAINE'S SCALLOP FISHERS. A New Industry There, But It's Proved a Profitable One. A new industry for the fishermen of the Maine coast is that of catching scal lops. It has already proved profitable, and hundreds of men are engaged in the work. They drag with huge nets the bottoms of the bays and harbors and take out thousands of gallons of these shell fish. The fishermen ahout Bluehill ana Frenchman's bays are all at it. Scallops were discovered- in tho latter bay only last spring. The scallops live in deep or shoal wa ter to suit their taste, and in a sense", are migratory. They are found in Bhoal water during the summer, and in the winter they live in deep water. In the summer they cling to soft bottoms, and in the winter prefer sandy places. They are often seen in huge clusters and sometimes found piled up 'on one anoth er several tiers deep. Great beds of them" have been discov ered in Bluehill and other bays ten 'feet in depth. Near Bartlett's" Island last winter Ernest Moore of Bass Harbor and his companion ran their boat upon what they supposed to be a ledge. It proved to be a scallop bed of great sise and density. The scallops were piled up in wind rows and cocks just as though some farmer fisherman had been there and .stacked them up with a pitchfork. The men made a small fortune in the next few days. They caught barrels and barrels ol? scallops for which they lound a .ready market. In the winter scallops' bring the fish ermen in Boston and' New York about 2.50 per gallon. A hundred scallops will yield a gallon of sweatmeats. xne fishermen last winter, in some instances, made as. high as $150 in a single day, and an average day's catch -ranged from $40 upward. They retail here now for 70 cents a gallon. The fishermen in dragging for scal lops use boats thirty-five or forty feet long, which are propelled by sail and naphtha power. A big fleet of these auxiliaries has been operating on the west side of Mount Desert Island- for several winters with marked success. The "comingrfan will see a still larger fleet in Frenchman's bay, since scallops In "untold "j numbers have been found therev There is no fishing there now, for" the scallops are not so good in the summer, and sell at a low price. The scallon boat has power and der rick. A large," strong net -with a five or six-foot iron plate at its mourn, at tached to 100 fathoms of rope, is the equipment for scraping the fish from their deep sea beds. When the net 13 full the load is drawn into the boat by a small windlass run by a naphtha en gine of several horse power. It is the practice of lobstermen on the Maine coast to build huge pounds and when lobsters are plentiful and cheap in the summer to put them in these pounds and keep them until the following winter. The scallop fishermen believe that they can reap a harvest in the same way by catching up scallops in summer and keeping them in pounds or cars untfr-the'jrrice of scallop meat goes up. Scallops-will live andtthrive in a car as well as lobster The experiment has been tried with good results. New York Sun.

He should be given a job on the Shively staff next year if he continues the good work he has commenced; He got away badly irt the first games in this city, but he knows his business and should give per fect satisfaction in the future.

Amos Morgan, last year with lola in the Misouri Valley league, is now play irz on Tebeau's ''first team." Perhaps that last phrase needs a little explana tion. Tebeau owns the Kansas City and Louisville franchises in the. Amer ican association.- The Colonels are pretty good, or -at least were up to the time of their unfortunate accident at Kansas City. The Kansas City team is very bad and have been tor two years. So the newsoapem have been calling the Louisville gang the "first team" and the Kansas City: contingent the "second team." Morgan is now. with the Colonels. Vrom the Kansas City Times: The game scheduled at Association park for yesterday afternoon between the Guth rie and Oklahoma City, clubs, of the Western association was prevented by wet grounds. The rain of Tuesday night and yesterday morning made the ball grounds so soft that it was impos sible to pull off a game. The failure of the game to take place was the source of considerable disappointment to a great many fans. Sevetal car loads of the "hungry" fans went out to the park in spite of the unfavorable aspect of the weather, but they were disappointed. The game was called off at noon and neither team left the hotel. The Oklahoma City "club went to lola lpst night and will nlay there today and tomorrow. The Guthrie club left for home last night. If weather conditions do not continue un favorable Kansas City fans will yet have an opportunity to see some West ern association baseball, as President Shively has arranged to have the Se dalia and Leavenworth clubs play, here Friday afternoon. These two clubs are first division teams and Leavenworth is considered to have a ionjr chance at the Western association pennant. The clubs have both been playing splendid ball this year and have been fighting a greater oart'of the time in the. first division. There are several well known Kansas City boys.on tho two teams and few promising youngsters as well as some old timers whose faces will be familiar. There are four Kansas City boys on the seoaiia club including Billy White, the short stop. Eddie McDill, third baseman,- Harry Cheek catcher, and Jimmie Cravens, pitcher. Louis Armstrong- and Harry Corbm who were with Charlie Nichols" Bine Sox in 1902 are with Leavenworth. So is Fred TJlrieh who was with the' same club that year. Dutch Shaumyer. who graduated from the ranks of Kansas City amateurs, is also with Leaven worth, as is also Bob Kaht, a brother of Nick Kahl of the Cleveland American league team. The Leavenworth Post in this Way tells the story of the war at Leaven worth the other day between the Mets and Woodpeckers: In the sixth inning Milsap, Oklahoma City's amateur first baseman, struck Umpire Malay with his fist and then the stuff -was off. Players, -policemen, citizens and just plain people rushed out upon the dia mond. Quiesser.. of Leavenworth; was the first man to reach the seat of hos. tiHties. and he held the bully, Milsap. Policemen took the player off the dia-i rhond and Mayor Everhardy who had become disgusted -with- the -behavior of the visitors, ordered that the player be taken to the police station. Oftieers- started y f or the station with Milsap when members of the -Leavenworth management, desirous of preventing a breaking up of the game, went to his rescue. They gave bond for. the fight er's appearance in police court and he returned to the Held.- He promised to ba -good. -He was good in the-second, Same. Umpire Aiaiay nnea mm only XI Ml $15 for his inexcusable conduct. President Shively arrived on the grounds about this time and members of the Oklahoma City team appealed to him for "help." They wanted a new umpire, but as it was Captain Risley who recommended Malay to Shively the latter refused to interfere. Further more, Malay was umpiring good ball. The Oklahoma City players refused to return to the field and the first game was forfeited to Leavenworth 9 to 0 After the second game had been called yesterday afternoon Captain Risley of Oklahoma City went to Pres ident Shively, who was present, at the game, and demanded a new umpire. "Didn't you recommend Malay to me?" asked Shively. "Yes," Eaid Risley. "Then go on and play ball," was Shive ly's parting shot. Spec. Hul burt made a spectacle of himself at League park yesterday afternoon and it cost him $20. Umpire Malay should have fined every man on the Oklahoma City team and he should have sent the players home to their mammas. It was plain enough that the babies from the Oklahoma village still use the bottle. The Topeka baseball club is composed of a bunch of kickers, but they are gentlemen compared with the members of the Oklahoma City team. The disgraceful conduct of the players froni; the-Oklahoma towq .at. League park'yesterday afternoon .far exceeded the limit. Itcan be stated in "this connec tion that the Leavenworth players car' ried .themselves in a perfect manner. From the Guthrie Capital: "Guthrie IS now out of the race for the pennant of the Western association and the only thing !s how far up '.he list they will close. Th-s prospects arc not bright, as Guthrie has only two members of the regular pitchers staff. Benny Henderson was fined $25 for throwing the ball Into the outfield with men on the bases in the last game hers with Oklahoma City and allowed two men to score. He then developed a case of sore head and left for home, for which his fine was increased $100, making it $126. Un der the rules of the National association fle can not play with any team that is a party to tr.e agreement until the $125 fins is. paid. He belongs to Indianapolis of the American association, but was brought to Guthrie for the season. Womack and Companion are doing good work, but where the series is live games in three days, as at Jtrplin. it is too much for them. Pettigrew will probably be brought in from the field. Downs is playing third, Hickey is out of the game, and Brown is plavlng first. It will be necessary for one of the other pitchers to play right field when Pettigrew goes into the box. It is understood that the local manage ment is trying to secure another pitchei." Jack Forrester explained today as fol lows why he left "Army's" team at Leav enworth: "Armstrong has not been work ing me right. He did with me as with all other pitchers, namely: he aks them to throw five curve balls out of about every six that he Bitches. That is the way he tar.dled me all summer, with the result tdat after about the first month my arm -commenced to et sore. The first day I threw my wide curve to him he stood and looked at me -vith his mouth open. After that it was rurve, curve, all the time. So the other day when Topeka was playing over at Leavelworth he called for curve balls continually during the fl:st three or four innings. The day was hot and my arm commenced to give out under tha strain. I couldn't stand the pace. The re sult was that I lost my- steam and he sent me to the bench. In the same game ho t ran into me on a bunt and bawled me out because he said I got in "his way. We got down to Kansas City to leave on the next trip. At the depot there Army and I commenced kidding each other and the first we know Dotn or us were sore. 1 just told him then what I thought of him. He told me that he would just cut me loose. I went to Secretary Bert Morton and asked for my pay- He didn't want to release me, but I insisted, got my check and left the team. The next day President Bubb of Leavenworth tried to fix up tho matter, but I was througlr with Leaven worth. I'm glad I'm in Topeka becausa I think this the best town in the circuit to play In." Forrester signed a contract this morning with the White Sox and also the reserve clause for next year. From the Wichita Beacon: "If we did not love that bunch of ball tossers that represent Wichita In the Western associa tion and that bunch of 'terriers' that growl for the pennant winners under all circumstances, we might be coaxed to wish that Leavenworth led the league, for. thev have eleven men tosrether that can justly be called a baseball team without any excuses 1.0 ine uiscuveier 01 ice na tional game."

"I Have been dead for thirty years, but I didn't know it till I came to town. You can take my name if you like. It s Henry Harrison Bates." With these words Mr. Bates introduced himself to -a re porter. He was as brown as ma hogany. His voice was husky. His eyes were bright with excitement. "I have never seen an electric car before. I have never seen an elevator until this morning. The telephone is a thins I know of only by reading. And yet I was born in Albion, Oswego county, N. Y., and fought through the civil war. That surprises you, don't It?" He unwound a big black hand kerchief from his neck and put his lips close to his neighbor's ear. "And here's something more," he whispered. "I saved General Grant's life once. Yes, sir, I did. It was at Memphis, Tenn., when Longstreet was after Grant's base. Lieutenant Moses Jerome was marshal for the day. We were trotting our horses to water when a man started running across our front. 'Cut that damned fool down," yelled Jerome. But I was dressing the front line and I called Halt!' And at the same time Lieu tenant Galen E. Green exclaimed, Good God, that's General Grant.' But Grant said nothing. He had slipped away on his business. He was reor ganizing the army in those days and many of us did not know him. But I was a private In the Seventh Wiscon sin light artillery and I saved his life. You wouldn't think it to look at me, would you?" He removed his hat and stuffed the black handkerchief inside the crown. "Saved Grant's life," he whispered again. "That surprises you, don't it?" He lifted an admonitory finger. "I knew Lincoln, too, and Douglas, and another great patriot. But I'll tell you about him later. I heard Lincoln and Douglas debate in Dodge county, Wisconsin. There was a bar becue with two oxen, and folks Just went and cut a steak when they pleased. Douglas was a much finer speaker than Lincoln. Lincoln looked like an old-fashioned saint. He was what you would call a natural speak er. And he seemed to anoint the people with his long, waving finger." He stopped for a moment to watch an automobile rattling past. "I have seen many battles and known great men there were giants In those days, I tell you and I haven't been to Kansas City since 1874. Never seen an electric car or an elevator till yesterday. That surprises you, don't it." He ruminated on the novelty of his experience with great apparent pleasure. "Yes, sir; went down to Phillips countv, Kansas, thirty years ago and just lived there ever .since. Did my duty to my country, though," he chuckled; "reared sixteen children me and my missus between us and twelve of them are alive and prosper ous. But I died down there. Died, sir. And I didn't know it till I got to Kansas City. Don't think though that I remained ignorant. No, sir. I read Hhakespeare. And I'm no Universal- ist, but I believe that Jesus Christ and Mahomet and Confucius were all good and holy men." He rewound the scarf about his neck and replaced his hat. "You must do something for John Brown, though," he stipulated. "He was the leaven that leavened the whole lump. You do him justice." He got up and shook hands with a hearty, muscular grip. "I'm going to spend 50 cents riding in street cars, l just sit back and smile In them. It's fine, I tell vou. And I was born in 1840, fought under Grant and never saw one before.

In May the Business men or tne city and the farm ers of the county decided that Cloud county should have an old-fashioned county fair and good race program A beautiful site of forty acres of ground was secured and stables. grandstand and other buildings are now completed, at an expense of 10.000. The race track was laid out and surveyed by Mr. E. A. D. Parker, a government engineer, and no money spared to make it one of the fastest half-mile tracks in Kansas. The management is advertising the fair extensively through the north portion of the state, .and indications point to a large attendance.

DEEPEST KANSAS WELL. Near Caney and Has Already Eaten Ip 15,000. Caney, Kan., Sept. 7. The deepest big well in Kansas is now drilling a mile west of this city by a company which is composed mostly of Caney men. Al though they have watched the hole eat up almost H5.000, there are those in the company who are still hopeful of get ting a good flow of oil at the bottom of the well, wherever that may be. The hole is now 2.140 feet deep and the drill is still running, although under very difficult circumstances. The well was commenced last Janu ary. The drill went to the Mississippian lime at 1,560 feet without anything dif ferent from the usual run of drilling. From there through 287 feet more the lime was encountered. At 1,847 feet black slate began and continued for 48 feet. This took the well to a depth of 1.897 feet, where a magnesian lime, call ed dolomite, began. This was contin ued without interruption to the present depth of 2.140 feet. The company is confident that the Trenton rock will be gin within the next 100 feet, and if it does the long search will be rewarded. Trenton rock in the best oil bearing substance known. It has never been found anywhere in the west, according to the Caney men. although in a well drilled several years ago at Neodesha it was reported to have been found. It has been found frequently in the deep wells of Ohio and Indiana. No Sign of Oil. Only the slightest oil showing possi ble has been found in this well. At 900 feet enough was seen to slightly color the water that was thrown in the hole. From 400 to 1,000 feet not a particle of water was found.. None was found at all in the lime. At 2,100 feet enough gas was found to force its way upward through a column of 2,100 feet of water, the weight of which at the gas bearing sand is estimated to be 1,000 pounds to the square inch. This gas burned con stantly when lighted. Work on the well has been delayed for several weeks by the difficult task of cleaning out. The well was shot at 2,133 feet, and ever since then the time has been used in cleaning out the constant cave-in. This has now practically been completed and seven more feet have been drilled. In mak ing the 'shot 150 quarts of nitro glycerin were used and it raised the column of water only ten feet above the mouth of the well. Contend With Water. The casing has collapsed twice. which finally necessitated shooting the well. This casing is of a very superior quality, but nevertheless the weight of it was so great that the lower joints "telscoped." The casing has been removed so frequently that the equivalent of 34,000 feet of it has been handled in drilling the well. This casing is all 8 inches in diam eter. There is now 1,900 feet of it in the well. Down to 1,900 feet the well is a 10-inch hole. From there on down it is 8 inches. This size bit with a big stem is being used. The drill is operated by 2,500 feet of heavy wire cable, at the lower end of which is 250 feet of rope to gtve the necessary spring to the drill. The wire cable is used because the drill is operated through 1,900 feet of water. Were it not for the water the com pany believes It could now make forty feet a, day. As It Js, progress is very slow. The machinery and rig are built for a 3,500-foot hole if desired. The company is doing its own work. After Trenton Rock. s The dolomite in which the drill is how running is softer than the Mis sissippian lime. It polishes highly. The new houses of parliament at London are built of this mineral. It is different from lime mostly on ac count of Its feeble effervescence in acids. It generally contains some carbonate of iron. This well is drilling solely In the hope of striking the Trenton rock which some of the geologists say out crops near Caney at a depth of prob ably 2,300 to 2,600 feet. The theory on which this is based is that all the oil issues through a fissure in the Mis sissippi lime above the Trenton rock and that if the Trenton rock can be reached the real source of the oil will be found. Other attempts to find this rock have been unsuccessful. In Ne odesha several years ago a well was drilled to a depth of 2,416 feet. At Eufaula, I. T., another hole of great depth was drilled. Drank Bed Bust Poison. The ten-year-old son of T. L. Acker, living eight miles northwest of town, drank several swallows from a bottle containing bed bug poison Saturday evening, and his parents had a lively tussle to save his life. The boy thought it was a medicine bottle and had taken enough to make a lot of trouble before he was discovered. Dr. Hawes was notified and after giving directions over the phone what to do. he hurried out to see him. The little fellow is re covering nicely. Russell Reformer. Old Settlers' Reunion.

Several weeks ago it became apparent that it would be impossible for business rea sons .for me to spend two or three days of each week at the university and I tendered my resignation of the place as planned. Since then it has been ar ranged that I am to meet the class at least once a month and instruct in" the practical duties of a newspaper office. My position will be that of adviser in the management of the department and a sort of lectureship, though, my work will be rather in the form of a series of familiar talks or. the making of a newspaper in its editorial end. The first of these will be about the mid dle of this month." REGAINING HIS HEALTH. Walking From New York to Frisco Is Doing the Work. Concordia was visited by an odd character Saturday, and yet when the object of his trip across the country is considered, is not such an odd charac ter after all. The man, whose name is Van R. Wilcox, is walking from New York to San Francisco, with but one purpose in view, namely, to benefit his health. He left New York in April, almost a skeleton, having suffered from stomach trouble and rheumatism. He has regained all his lost flesh, his muscles are as hard as the muscles of a prize fighter and he enjoys good health. He travels without hat all the time and his skin is tanned until it is as yellow as a pumpkin. He was bald headed when he started, but the hot sun on the top of his head is bringing out a good growth of hair. Mr. Wilcox is 59 years of age and since he has learned the correct prin ciples of living, he thinks he will live to the age of one hundred years. He never eats any breakfast and claims that breakfasts are unhealthy. He never retires until four hours after eating. Mr. Wilcox is not a wealthy man, but he is able to make the trip across the country without asking assistance. Upon his arrival at San Francisco he will probably write a book on the cor rect methods of living. Concordia Press. PISTOLS WERE USED. Two Kansas City, Kan., Men and De tectives Have Fight.

Officers of the bie railway systems operating between Chi cago and the Pacific coast, are enthusi actic over prospects for increased trade between this country and the Orient. The fact the war was settled through the interposition of American authori ties they say, will create a friendly feel ing toward this country in the far east. Speaking of the prospects. J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the Southern and Union Pacific and Oregon short lines, said today: "We look for a boom in trade between this country and the Orient. Japan ana China have awakened as never before and will need a great quantity of sup plies. The fact that the United States figured so prominently in the peace ne gotiations has stirred up interest in this country with the Japanese and other Oriental countries. If our manufactur ers and merchants take advantase of the friendly relations and get represen tatives over there quickly a big inter change of business with this country must result, witn peace ana a mendiy feeling in the Orient and American ownership of the Hawaiian and Philip. pine islands the united states ought to become a power in tne east ana we ex pect a boom in traffic for our roads be tween the Mississippi valley and Pacific coast ports."

Other Roads Claim Innocence of Armour Line Charges. i Gossip and Matters ol Interest in Kailroad Circles. Washington, D. C., Sept 7. Papers making an answer to the complaints lodged before the interstate commerce commission .of unjust charges for the refrigeration of fruit in. transit and, of granting rebates to shVppers of fruit on the part of many railroads, were received from the attorneys of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe at the offices of the commission late yester day afternoon. Among other things, this answer de clares emphatically that neither the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe or its agents undertakes" the business of the refrigeration of deciduous fruits or vegetables. It is set forth that all this sort of traffic over the lines of the Santa Fe is controlled by the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dispatch company, and that this company ha?j not acted for the railway in the application or col lection of refrigeration" charges. The road denies with emphasis that by the way of rebates or other devices it has collected a lower rate or charge irom some shippers than from oth ers for the refrigeration of fruits or vegetables m transit. The company states that refrigeration charges are not published by it for the reason that it does not engage in the business of refrigration, and that it does not make or collect any charges therefor. Answers were also received by the commission from the Southern, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Central of Georgia, and the Pennsylvania. All of these roads disclaim that they are in any way responsiDle for the charges made by the Armour and other refrigerating concerns that op erate cars on their roads. A request from the Armour Car Line company was granted extending until septemDer 10 the time in which the company can file its answer to the inquiry that is being carried on. EARNINGS ARE ENORMOUS. Six Railroads Passed the $50,000,000 Mark in 1004. Concerning the earnings of some of the big railroads in the country the itauway Age says in its current issue: .fifty million dollars is an enor mous sum for a railway to earn in 12 months, but at least six companies ex ceeded that amount in 1904. The Pennsylvania system alone, including leased and proprietary lines separately operated, earned the vast total of 238, 242,000.- But next 'to that the list of railway companies which exceeded ?5U,uuo,ouu in the year-is as follows, with their earnings:' First. Pennsyl vania railroad (3,748 miles), $118,145,- ouu; second, Southern Pacific company. i)33,ouo; third. New York Central and Hudson River. $78,578,000: fourth. Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, $68,- iii.oou; nttn, .Baltimore and Ohio, $65,200,000; sixth, Chicago and North western (1904-05). 155.745.000: sev enth. Union Pacific, $55,279,000. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul which In 1904 earned $48,330,000 came within about $200,000 of the $50,000, 000 mark in the year ended on June 30, 1905. The Increase made by the seven companies since 1900 is wonder ful, even after taking increased mile age into account. Thus, the Pennsyl vania railroad gained in round num bers $32,500,000, Southern Pacific $32,000,000, New York Central $18,- 000,000, Santa Fe $18,200,000, Balti more and Ohio nearly $20,000,000, Northwestern $13,200,000, Union Pa cific nearly $13,500,000. The seven companies, representing 48,700 miles, or nearly 25 per cent of the total mileage in the country, together earned in the year $534,000,000 against $386,600,000 in 1900, an in crease of $147,400,000, or 38 per cent.' EQUIPMENT FOR WABASH. Thousands of Coal Cars Are to Be Contracted For. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 7. A rep resentative of one of the large rail road equipment companies is author ity for the statement that the Wabash railroad company will place within a short time the contract for new equip ment, embracing among other things an order for 3,000 new steel coal cars. The management has been in the mar ket for some time for this rolling .stock, which will be employed chiefly to relieve tne .finsDurg aisirici. xne Wabash has at present between 6,000 and 7,000 coal cars, not including a purchase of 1,000 cars made some months ago and now being delivered. A general shortage of coal cars has been reported on many railroad sys tems engaged in the coal carrying trade, and It is claimed that this short age is preventing a prompt movement of coal and a corresponding slacken ing of mining operations in the bitu minous districts. Urgent demands for early delivery are made with every or der placed, though it is certain that many, if not a majority, of the cars contracted for can not be delivered until some time after the first of the year. SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT CARS. Officials Are Wondering How They Will Handle Crops. Operating officials of all the railroads in the country and especially those in the west are confronting a shortage of freight cars that is unprecedented in the history of railroading, and this lit face of the fact that during the past two years thousands of new freight cars have been put in service. The western crops this year are ex ceptionally large, and it will require an enormous number of cars to move the wheat and corn now being gathered in west of the Missouri river. At the same time there is no lot-up In the demand for cars by manufacturers and opera tors of coal' mines. As the situation now stands, the railroads of the country could easily use 500,000 more freight cars than there are now in existence. All the various car shops of the coun try wbich make a specialty of build ing freight cars are rushed to their ut most capacity, some of them having enough orders ahead to keep them busy for a year, even if there was not an other car ordered from them.

Reductions by Great Northern Makes Other Roads Hustle. Owing to the sweeping reductions in grain rates which were recently an nounced by the Great Northern and which was participated in by the North ern Pacific numerous consultations are being held among the traffic officials of the affected roads. A meeting was held at St. Paul on Saturday to check up the rates in Min nesota and the Dakotas. to determine what reductions must be made. The lines affected are: Chicago North western; Chicago, Rock Island Pa cific; Minneapolis, St. .Paul sault ste. Marie: Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis Omaha; Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul and the Illinois Central. These roads were notified by the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific that the grain rates named by the Canadian Pacific and the Canada Northern lines from Manitoba to Port Arthur caused many Drosnective settlers to pass by reat Northern and Northern Pacific settle ment lands and to settle in Manitoba, and that it was deemed essential that rates should be reduced to an extent necessary to meet Canadian competi tion. An attempt has Deen maae Dy the roads thus notified to induce the Great Northern and Northern Pacific to limit their reductions to territory im mdin.telv affected by Canadian compe tition, in order to protect Minnesota and Dakota rates as much as possible.

Whllo cut of town the citato Journal will be to you like a dally lettev from home. Another good Iowa idea that is gain ing up there is to sell out and move to Kansas. Hutchinson is so busy building a canal of its own that it is taking little Interest in the Panama ditch. When the Sultan cf Sulu proposed, do you suppose Miss Roosevelt referred him to Congressman Longworth? Everything isn't peaceful and lovely after all. The Island of Crete has been having a revolution for four months. Now that Roosevelt has persuaded Russia and Japan to quit, perhaps he can get the yellow fever to quit also. When it comes to making peace be tween them, will it be Shaw or Cum mins that will have to pay Indemnity? Why not have the next legislature create a commission to determine whether there was or; was not a John Brown spring? It Is a Republican exchange that an nounces that the next great eclipse will take place on November 8 and will be Visible o.nly in Ohio. Governor Hoch, believes Jfbat the state is paying too much for. its pens and red ink. It is surely paying too much for its red tape. Tom Cordry suggests that the open market in which the state Intended to buy Its stationery supplies has been plugged up at one end. France has apparently been picking up the numerous ultimatums that Rus sia has been throwing out, and now France is passing them out to Morocco. The country got along fairly well while "the boss of the United States," Senator Aldrich, was absent in Europe: why not dispose of his services as boss entirely? Nervous people in San Francisco are worrying for fear they will catch the yellow fever after the Panama canal is built. They are extremely hard up for something to worry about. Mr. Bryan says he is going to Europe for some new ideas. Which is cruej: Europe has few enough new ideas now without Mr. Bryan going over there and swiping some of the stock. Now that W. Y. Morgan is back from Europe and has stopped writing those European letters, it is to be hoped that he will spend some of his surplus cash in publishing them in book form. If Mr. Burbunk succeeds in making that perfect man, the stampede of dime museum managers to secure him will make all former efforts in the Stampede line pale Into Insignificance. Methodist brides now promise to "keep" their husbands. Of course what they ought to premise is to try, for some other girl might come along and take him away In spite of their efforts to keep him. There is a good deafof discussion con cerning what congress will do the com ing winter on railroad legislation, but there is not much doubt about what the United States senate won't do if it can help itself. It was a thrifty New York servant girl who collects $80,000 for refusing to testify about the scandals in the homes of her former employers. That is bet ter than a "Fads and Fancies" agent could have done. The Detroit News can't help feeling that Secretary Shaw made a mistake in admitting that it is in Governor Cum mins' power to annoy him, but Cum mins' friends may feel the same way relative to their man. What a blessing the telephone and the megaphone will be in case the hoop skirt really does come back, for they will obviate the necessity of sending by mail what we want to say to the wearers of the contrivances! It is not likely that a Quantrell raider could ever be convicted in Douglas county after all these years, for the evidence against the raiders lives only in history now, but there ought to be some way of making them ashamed of their dastardly deeds in stead of bragging about them. It i3 a little too much when men get together and glory in the deeds of a band of cut-throats, to which they claim to have belonged forty years ago. MAE WOOD'S CHARGES. Miss Mae Wood has broken out in a new place, and this time it is in a way that may give her the serious consid eration of the country, for she makes allegations in which the people are personally interested. Miss Wood's grievances against Sen ator Piatt and others heretofore have been of a private nature and were not of strictly public interest. They had to do with the love affairs of the New Tork boss and senator of the express companies, and the interest in them came only from the curiosity which some people have concerning such things. But now Mias Wood makes charges involving governmental 'affairs. She was formerly employed in the post office department at Washington, and she alleges that she rendered valuable services to the express companies in that department. Her services, she alleges, consisted in "tipping off" the inside workings of the postoffice de partment to the express companies and also in assisting in keeping out of the annual report of Postmaster General Payne two years ago a recommenda tion of the postcheck system. She sues Senator Thomas C. Piatt and the United States Express company for $25,000 for these services. J From, these allegations it would not appear that Miss Wood's claims are valid, for her services were not only illegal, but they betrayed her em- j ployer, the United States government. If there is no law to reach such a betrayal there certainly ought to be one. Such an action is worse than the selling of advance information con cerning crop statistics in the depart ment of agriculture, for that only en abled one set of market gamblers to prey on another set, while Miss Wood's action betrayed the interests of her employer, the government, to its enemies. At the same time the parties who benefited by Miss Wood's action were illy as culpable as she. These par ties, according to her charges, were Senator Piatt and the express com panies. Senator Thomas C. Piatt is presi dent of the United States Express com pany and is recognized as the chief representative of the express com panies of the country in congress. As the Republican boss of New York, he exercises great power in national poli tics, and his position as senior United States senator from the Empire state makes him very influential in govern mental affairs. The express companies are constantly on their guard to keep the postoffice department from extending it sservicea to the people. By keeping the postoffice department from carrying packages of any considerable size, the express com panies are able to levy tribute amount ing to millions of dollars annually on the people of the United States. In England the public post carries large packages cheaply, and the United States postal department would have done the same thing long ago had it not been for the influence of Senator Thomas C. Piatt and the express company lobby. Another thing the express companies have been guarding against has been the adoption of the postcheck by con gress, which would enable the people to send money cheaply, easily and safe ly by mail, without the trouble entailed in the money order system. The post check would probably destroy the money order business of the express companies, and therefore tne express companies have been anxious to keep congress from adopting it. Miss Wood, it is announced, has also filed charges against "certain of ficials" of the postoffice department, whose names are not announced, but who are believed to be Robert J. Wynne and J. Martin Miller. Wynne was forerly first assistant postmaster general, and he succeeded to the head of the department upon the death of Postmaster General Payne. Afterwards he was sent to London as consul gen eral and Mr. Cortelyou became post master general. Wynne Is the official, too, who was bitter against Joseph L. Bristow, and who, as postmaster general, took the control of the postoffice inspectors away from Mr. Bristow. If there is anything in these charges of Miss Wood, Mr. Wynne's anxiety to get rid of Bristow may be explained. Further details of this matter will be awaited with interest by the public. A MODERN MIRACLE. What a wonderful age this is we live in! Think of the way peace was brought about, for instance the mod ern inventions that Were brought into play. The main factors in determining upon peace were the peace conference itself at Portsmouth; a man at Saga- more Hill, on Long Island, upwards of two hundred miles from Portsmouth; the Russian czar, three thousand miles across the Atlantic; and the emperor of Japan, across the Pacific on the other side of the globe. It became evident that the peace plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth could not agree. That night the man in his private home at Sagamore Hill took the matter up with the Russian czar in his palace at Peteroff. All of what passed between them the world does not yet know, except that three times the man at Sagamore Hill appealed to the czar to make concessions to the Japanese in the interest of humanity. When the Russians absolutely refused to concede anything the man at Saga more Hill turned to the mikado in far off Japan on the other side of the world. The next day the world was surprised to hear that the Japanese had conoeded everything necessary to the Russians, and that Theodore Roosevelt had brought it about by his intercession with the mikado. Yet President Roosevelt had not been out of his home at Sagamore Hill on Long Island. He had remained in a spot which a comparatively short time ago would have been isolated from the rest of the world, so far as speedy communication is concerned But sitting there in his home he had brought two warring nations together in peace. The house, at Sagamore Hill was the center of it all. The- tele graph and the cable did it- AX ANTI-PASS LAW. How thankful some Kansas office holders many of them must be that they do not live In Wisconsin! What a burden to them would be the antl-nass law that is now being enforced In that state! How distasteful would be the ideas of Governor Hanly of Indiana, who will not tolerate pass-holders among his public officials! But the anti-pass idea Is growing. Possibly the next Kansas legislature, even, may be ready to pass a law like the Pringle bill, which was defeated in the last session. The railroads would no doubt gladly welcome such a measure if it did not carry with it a reduction of the passenger rates. The Wisconsin law takes in all classes of officials. Here is what Attorney General Sturdevant, of that state, says of it: "It is now the settled policy of this state that no person holding a position under the laws thereof or undef the or dinance of any city or town, can be the holder or user of free transportation in any form or receive favors in that re spect from railroad companies, which are not extended to the public in gener al and that it Is unlawful for railway companies to furnish the same to state officers, committees or candidates, and that transportation acquired by a pub lic officer which is paid for in whole or In part, is free transportation as defined by law," How about the Kansas attorney gen eral: do you suppose he carries any railroad passes? He is a member of the board of railroad assessors, you know. JOURNAL ENTRIES When, by the way, Is Mr. Cortelyou going to try on another cabinet posi tion Japan and Russia are now friends once more, but there are no indica tions that Cummins and Shaw are about to kiss and make up. a Parsons has voted $80,000 bonds for the "Katy" shops and is now waiting for 'Katy to make good. And Katy, woman-like, is making the town wait. A man in a Topeka office whose duty it is to operate an adding ma chine complains of the great amount of mental labor he is compelled to do! Now laugh. a It is predicted that it will take at least three years to reach the north pole, which leads to the suspicion that it is located somewhere between To peka and Fort Scott and must be reached by way of the K. N. D. a When Secretary Shaw was in To peka he simply winked when he was asked about his presidential boom. Is he still winking? The next thing necessary will be to make peace between the disagreeing newspaper correspondents at Ports mouth who can t get together on what really happened. Anyway, there Isn't much danger that the Taggarta will go on the stage. JAYHAWKER JOTS Chanute has a really new idea ft glass carnival. The chronicler of the Onaga Repub lican says that the corn is showing symptoms of yellow fever. The lid also seems to be on at Em poria, inasmuch as the town claims to have used 44 million gallons of water during August. A far larger proportion of the popu lation along the western Kansas border is served by telephone lines than In the eastern states. The Iola Register ran a piece under the heading, "Death of Paul Domby," by Charles Dickens, and a lot of Iola people looked to see when the funeral would be. The editor of the Chapman Advertiser is having all kinds of adversity. Just after he had escaped from several weeks' confinement in a hospital his printing office burned down. Don Wells tells of a mean man in Erie who borrows ice of his neighbors in the summer and sits around their stoves in winter. He probably prom ises to pay back both the ice and the heat as soon as he is done with it. That was a pretty expensive battle that the Deweys put up against the Berry family in Cheyenne county. It is estimated that it has cost the Dewey estate as high as $100,000. The suits brought against the estate by the Berry survivors have been compromised for $10,000. Many people believe there isn't much water in western Kansas. The Smoky south of Goodland has enough in it that a man who fell in one of its pools got tangled up in the giant moss at the bottom of the stream and was drowned before his companions could get him out. Thomas Trull, a Hiawatha bov. in stead of putting in most of his time on tne baseball diamond this summer. planted some onions, from which he raised five hundred bushels which he sold for $250. That's the kind of a bov that will do something unless he proves to be tne exception. Lindsborg Record: Several farmers out in Barton county own their own automobiles. One man bought a six teen horse power machine in Kansas City and run it home in a day making ISO miles. No set of farmers in the world enjoy so many conveniences as does a Kansas farmer. Hutchinson Independent: A Hutchin son girl was asked by a friend why she does not marry a certain young man who has been very attentive to her for the past twelve months. "Well," she said, he has asked me to marry him, but I am still undecided. I am trying to make up my mind whether marriage is a comedy or a tragedy." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. There is hardly any fun at all in heing only as smart as people think you are.. A vacation in a summer hotel is a nice way to learn what a good time one has at home. Generally friendly compromise is based on the fear you will get some thing worse if you don't. When a woman plays cards either she doesn't know the rules or she knows them and doesn't know what to do with them. It ought to make a man feel very happy not to have any money and be able to think how many fool Invest ments he didn't go into. KANSAS COMMENT NOT NECESSARY. Topeka thinks that it has some thing to be proud of in the fact that bath tubs are going into the new houses. Surely this is hardly neces sary while the pools are allowed to gather in the holes in Kansas avenue. Onaga Republican. HARD TO UNDERSTAND. Attorney General Coleman has got a move on at last, but the thing that the "common herd" cannot understand is why he leaves Treasurer Kelly free while suing his bondsmen. Minne apolis Better Way. o THE BRIDE'S PROMISE. According to the revised code of the Methodist Episcopal church, the bride must promise to "love, honor and keep" her husband. The enabling clausein the nuptial formula has been the subject of endless tinkering of late, but we feel that it ought to stay now for a long period where the Methodists have put it. Strangely enough the men were less satisfied than the women with the old word "obey." So many sweet girls seemed rather to want to pledge obedience. But man in his wisdom, born of effectual experience, knew how sweetly those same girls proceeded to obey not, and so quietly worked for a reDeal of the statute. The new formula is a revolutionary and happy reversal of ancient duty and privilege. The sweet gin now must agree to "keen" the man of her choice. Thus, claiming her full rights, woman must now agree to ao ner whole duty, and no man need longer bother himself with the question of how he is to support a wife. It is In teresting to note in this connection that a young woman has lately been telling the public that marriage im proves a man. Henceforth the im provement ought to be more notice able. We take it that man's matri monial outlook was never more Invit ing. When hereafter he totes the um brella and the handbag, while the woman totes the baby, it will be ac knowledged that he is taking his full share of the domestic burden. How ard Courant.

WALL STREET MORALITY. The immorality In Wall street consists in the misuse of a mechanism that is constructed on an absolutely moral basis. The same men who gamble in stock are likely to gamble on horses ana at roulette tables. The same men who manipulate markets are quite likely to be in league with men who corrupt legislatures. A dishonest di rector is no better and no worse than a dishonest public official. Graft is no more odious in Wall street than it is in Washington. In judging Wall street It is necesary to discriminate between the true and the false, the good and the bad. It is the bad which does so much to Mil the columns of sensational journalism; it is the good which is turning the wheels of commerce. Wall Street Journal.

Required a Lot of Educating. A young Brockton physician tells the following about himself: Upon his graduation from Brown uni versity he went home to the western part of the state for a few days, and on the street met a young Frenchman, one of his comrades of the Spanish war. This conversation ensued: "Hello, Fred: I hear you got through down at Brownse's." "Yes, I finished there Wednesday." "Well, what you going to do now?" "I'm going to New York to study medicine." "Huh! You going to be a doctor. How long dat take?" "I'll have to study four years, any way." "Four years! Gee! Didn't you gradu ate from the high school here?" "Yes." "And didn't you go four years at Brownse's?" "Sure thing." j "And now you mean to tell me you got to study four years more to be a doctor?" "I certainly have, and after that there will be two years in a hospital." "Well, you must be tick-headed." Boston Herald. Eating Versus Dining. Joseph Solari's death In California recalls days when New York's best restaurants were not places of ostenta tion and display, but of good eating and drinking. Solari's, at the north west corner of Eleventh street and University place, was then the head quarters for men who really dined, who regarded dinner as an occasion of importance and believed that their gustatory and digestive apparatus was something to be treated with respect. The test of a dinner nowadays is too often how much it costs, not how good It is. Wines are valued according to the prices on the list. This is more simple in a way, since it makes every milionaire a connoisseur. Restaurants like Solari's and Sieghortner's and Leblanc s, where the cooking was everything and table decorations and orchestra nothing, have passed away. New York World. Bankers Like Mohammedans. A swarthy man drew $500 out of the saving fund, and the cashier said on his departure "If all our depositors were like that gentleman our concern would soon be come rich. Murad All is an Indian, a native of Calcutta, and his religion for. bids him to take interest on money. He has had a savings account with us for 12 years. His interest altogether has amounted to $700. But be has never ac cepted a cent of it. It has all flown back into our -coffers again. All Mohammedans are like Murad AIL They won't take interest on their money. Hence, India, I think, must be a grand country for the banking busi- ness. and how glad our bankers would be if Mohammedanism were to spread a little." Philadelphia Bulletin. A Remarkable Postscript. Miss Carey Thomas, the president of Bryn Mawr college, talked at a lunch eon about the ingenuousness of chil dren. "A friend of mine," she said, "once showed me a letter that her little son had written her from Andover. The letter ran like this:- 'Dear Mother, I am well and hope you are well. Will you please send me $2? I know the last did not last long, but it is all .spent now, and I need $2 badly. I hope you are well. I am well. Please do not forget $2.' "Then there was this postscript: 'I was so ashamed to ask for money so soon after the last you sent that I sent after the postman to get this letter back, but it was too late, he had gone.'

Emil Bard, a French writer, tells how Pekin is lighted, as follows: "Eighty thousand taels ($50,400) are assigned each year for street lights; the official in charge takes 40.000 as his share and gives the rest to a subordinate. This latter hands over 20.000 to his inferior, and so on. until the original sum is re duced to a few copper cash, given to a coolie to buy oil and a wick; these are nlaced on a date on the ground.

Having received an education in prac tical chemistry and served as superin tendent in a steel works, I was offered a large salary to take charge of a fac tory in Russia. Three years were all I could endure in that misgoverned country, and after the czar's troops slaughtered the workmen who marched to the palace to present their petition I made up my mind to quit the country. Just as the train on which I left pull ed out of the station a man came run ning from the outside, jumped on the footboard and was helped by the guard into one of the compartments. Op posite me sat a man, evidently in a humble walk of life, who watched eag erly the one who boarded the train, leaned out of the window when he was helped into the compartment, then fell back on the cushion white as a sheet "Dangerous attempt," I remarked. "The fellow might have been killed." "My vis-a-vis made no reply for some time. Then he said eagerly: "This train makes no stop for over an hour, I believe?" "You are right." "Then it will be dark." '"Right again." Another silence followed, during which the man sat revolving some question in his mind. Finally, looking me straight in the eyes, he said: "You do not recognize me. superin tendent?" "I do not." "I am one of the workmen in the fac tory." "So?" "Yes, I am Ivan Sviazhski." "One of the men who got up the re cent petition to the czar?" "Yes. They are after me.

THE TOPEKA., STATE JOURNAL. THPKSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1905. I; i i i u MIece ait off Uncle eplte should be deeply interested in what he has said about soda crackers, because they are the one food with which all of them are familiar. Uncle Sam has given out figures showing that soda crackers are richer in nutriment and body-building elements, properly proportioned, than any food made from flour. This is saying much for common soda crackers, and much more for Onesda DlSCUlt, because they are soda crackers of the best quality. They are baked better more scientifically. They are packed better more cleanly. The damp, dust and odor proof package retains all the good ness and nutriment of the wheat, all the freshness of the best baking, all the purity of the cleanest bakeries. Your Uncle Sam has shown what food he thinks best for his People, His people have shown that they think UneedO OfSCUlt the best of that food, nearly 400,000,000 packages having already been consumed. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY I 1 1 M m '1 i j I i 1 II MAIL DRIVERS STRIKE. Leave Tueir Wagons Standing In the Street in New York. New York, Sept. 7. A general alarm was sent out this morning to Chief In spector Cortright of the police depart ment, calling on the captains to take especial care to guard all mail wagons. The order was issued because of a strike last night by 300 drivers in the employ of contractors for hauling the mails from the general postoffice. No wagons were sent out up to 1 o'clock this morning. No trouble has occurred eo far. Three hundred drivers of the United States mail wagons quit their jobs at 10 o'clock last night. More than a score of them deserted their wagons at the mail street entrance of the general post office after they had received word that the strike had been decided upon. It is an echo of the trouble over wages some weeks ago. The leaders of the men say that the agreement the bosses made with them has not been lived ud to. They also demand an increase of wages. Acting Superintendent of Mails Fox said at the postoffice after the men had left the wagons, that although there were 150 mail routes to be delivered to rail road stations and branch offices up to 3 o'clock Thursday morning he thought there would be no difficulty in keeping the service running. AH of the men are employed by the New York Mail company. The 215 men in conference, in view ot the question of Etrike, decided according to the state ment of the president, Thomas Tandy, to go on strike. He says that H. C. Walcott, the man ager of the New York Mail company, and E. J. Travis made an agreement at the time of the temporary settlement ef the difficulty previously that the matter would be adjusted permanently on the first of this month. He daclares that he has been unable to effect any settlement. "The understanding was," said Tandy, "that all of the men were to get $2.10 per day. The men driving the one horse wagons are content with this agreement but the drivers of the two horse wagons want $2.50 a day. "We reported this fact to Mr. Travis, but he took no action." TRUTH ABOUT MURDOCK. Saved the Train But Ixt His IJfe. Kaysville, Utah, Sept. 7. Alma Barnes, a section hand on the Rio Grande Western railroad, was fatally wounded by a train today while trying to remove a maul he had left across the rails.

There's a reason. ten days' trial is sufficient. Woman Who Was Saved Tells How He Didn't Do It People out in San Francisco seem to be getting very much excited about the story which was printed some time ago concerning the part taken by Congress man Victor Murdock in saving the life of a woman bather at Ocean Park. They are afraid that Murdock is trying to beat somebody else out of a Carne gie hero medal. This is what the Los Angeles Examiner says about it: "Politics! clever politics, but not destined to succeed!" That is the way Rufus L. Horton, husband of the woman who rescued Mrs. Neil J. Harrington from drowning, sums up the effort being made to land a Carnegie hero medal to adorn the manly breast of Congressman Mur- aocK. 'The Harringtons have promised me affidavits regarding the true facts of the rescue," says Mr. Horton. "Those facts will prevent any hero medal from becoming the property of Congressman Murdock." Mr. Horton goes further. He explains his theory that the whole campaign for tne nero medal is an effort on the part of Congressman Murdock by his politi cal friends to popularize him so that he win slide again into his congressional seat without fear of successful opposi tion. "Why, they've conducted a regular publicity campaign back there in Kan sas, using this incident as ammunition," is the way Mr. Horton expresses it, "and this man, who barely got his feet wet, is being touted as a hero." The rescue of Mrs. Harrington by Mrs. Horton occurred May 17. Before May 25 application had been made to the Carnegie Hero commission for a medal for Congressman Murdock. This is proved by a letter from Manager F. M. Wilmott, of the Carnegie commis sion, written to Sam F. Woolard, who is the head and shoulders of the effort to land the decoration for Mr. Murdock. This letter refers to a communication received from Woolard, under date of May 25. It is presumed it was in this communication Woolard first asked for the medal for the congressman. It s politics, pure and simple." said Mr. Horton, after having held a con ference with Mr. Harrington yesterday afternoon. "Either Murdock or his po litical allies have worked the alleged rescue by him to the limit in Kansas. In the telegram which he sent the Ex aminer, and which was published Sun day morning, Murdock admits the first reports were colored. But there has been no effort to correct those reports. He does not deserve a medal, and x intend to see he doesn't get one. Car negie medals are not given on newspa per reports written by friends of would be heroes. Affidavits are required. Now, I intend to get those affidavits and end them to the Carnegie hero commission at Philadelphia. And they won't give Murdock a medal. Not much. fit's a clever political game. But it won't work." Mrs. Neil J. Harrington, the woman who was saved, says: "No, Congressman Murdock did not rescue me from death by drowning at Ocean Park! He didn't do anything worthy of a Carnegie medal! But I honestly think he did the best he could. "He shouted to ua that he could not swim but he wade, out into the water and held out his cane to us. I think he had the will to aid ua, and for that I am grateful. "But the credit for my rescue belongs entirely to Mrs. Rufus L. Horton, who swam to my assistance when I called for help and who towed me ashore. "I think Mrs. Horton fully deserving of a medal for her brave act, and if my husband and I can get it for her, she shall have it "The waves had gouged out a hole," Mrs. Harrington said, when telling of her experience, "and I got into it. "When I found I could no longer touch bottom, I was scared. Who wouldn't be? I swallowed some salt water and then shouted for help. Mrs. Horton was swimming nearby. She heard me and eame to my aid. All the rest of it has been repeated several times.' MIXED RETUB.NS. Did He Get the Pocketbook. Newton, Kan., Sept. 7. C.

Commodore "Bud' White of the wireless poolroom boat City of Traverse was twisted Tuesday. He had taken his floating gambling den over into Indiana waters and was Dre pared to give his sporting passengers an opportunity to make all sorts of money on the races. But about the time the results began to come in from his wireless station on shore other mes sages which had nothing to do with race norses noatea tnrougn the atmosphere, Although Commodore White didn't know it at the time he learned later that Chief of Police Collins had estab lished a wireless station of his own at 973 Avenue H, South Chicago, and was doing his best to "queer" the wireless gambling business in a new way. "juggler wins the third at Sheens head, 7 to 5," shouted the man at the receiving end of the "wire" on the Tra verse. A howl of glee went up from tne sports who bet on Juggler. "All bets off." shouted the operator. "Handspring wins by a neck from Somersault and the patrol judge is sneezing ms neaa on. we re pinched. Revenue cutter has started out after City of Traverse. 'Jim' O'Leary has quit gambling and joined the church. Look out for squalls on Lake Michigan and Commodore White walked over, to the perspiring operator and laid a restrain ing hand on his shoulder. "Bob," he said, "I guess somebody's stringing us. The chat from unknown sources con tinued for awhile and then stopped abruptly. "Sixth at Fort Erie" said the ticker; "Little Boy wins 4 to 1." "Make odds on last winner 200 to 1. Roustabout has been vagged at La- tonia and Tom Crabb has been pinched at Erie," came a message close on the heels o the other. "I'm going dotty if this thing keeps up," said the operator. They struggled through the afternoon and when it was all over every gam bler aboard had a kink in his thinking mechanism. "Didn't bother us a bit," said Com modore White as he stepped ashore at South Chicago last night. "Chief Col lins sent a lot of flashes to confuse us, but we only laughed at them.- Let him have his little joke if he wants it." But it is known the chief intends to make his rival wireless plant something more than a Joke. "Not a word to say." smiled the chief last night when asked about his latest strategy. Sues Frisco for $10,000. Fort Scott, Sept. 7. Mrs. Mary E. Hord has brought suit in the district court against the Frisco railroad com pany for the death of her husband, Alonzo Hord, who was killed in this city by. the overturning of a switch engine on the 30th day of last Sep tember. The petition, which is quite lengthy, was filed by her attorneys, J. M. Humphrey and A. M. Keene, and alleges gross negligence on the part of the defendant as the cause of her hus band's death. The cause of the acci dent, according to the petition, was old and loose rails out of alignment, and the plaintiff asks the court to give her judgment in the sum of $10,000. Charged With Stealing.

Mr. Ashbaugh and the attorneys rep resenting the state of Colorado and the UfTited States government have been doing their work in a room assigned to them in the state capitol building at Denver, and adjourned last Saturday for one week, on account of the nation al encampment, and because of court business requiring the attention of the attorney representing the government.

I will go to my home in Wichita today, and leave tomorrow for Denver." Asked concerning the time at which the suit would probably come before the United States supreme court, Mr. Ashbaugh said: "We hope to complete the abstract of the testimony by October 9, at which time the next session of the supreme court begins. We will then file a mo tion to have the case set down for hearing, which will probably be about 60 days later. In the meantime we will prepare our briefs, which will of course be voluminous, and the arguments be fore the court will t be made when the case comes up." 5 It seems likely, therefore, that the decision in the case may be expected during the early part of next year. The testimony in this great case in its original form occupies about 8,000 pages of typewritten manuscript. There is no court in the land which would have time to wadethrough this great mass of testimony, and so the attorneys agreed to prepare an abstract for pub lication. This abstract will occupy about 1,500 pages of manuscript, and when it is completed, it will go to the printer for publication in book form. "If Kansas wins the case," was ask ed of Mr. Ashbaugh, "what will be the effect upon .irrigation in the. Arkansas valley?" "It will simply mean" replied Mr. Ashbaugh "that reservoirs for the pres ervation of the flood waters will be established. No ope will be deprived of the benefits of irrigation; wfijwill save the .water which is now allowed to go to waste and there will be enough for both Kansas and Colorado. The trouble with the Arkansas river is not that it does not carry enough water for all but that the water comes all at one season in the year and is allowed to go to waste. There are seasons of the year when we are in as much danger of floods In the Arkansas valley as you are in the valley of the Kaw. The solution of the irrigation problem is Bimply the storing up in reservoirs of this waste water." Kansas claims the right to use water out of the Arkansas river from the fact that the irrigation ditches in this state were built before the irrigation ditches in Colorado. As the valley be came settled out in Colorado more and more ditches were put in, until all the water which had been coming down into Kansas was diverted before it reached here. Kansas claims that it had as much right to the water of the Arkansas as it would have to a piece of land of which it was the original owner. After the "prior right" users of water are satisfied, the newcomer must make arrangements to get his water supply by a sort of a system of "water exchange." He co-operates either directly or by investment in the construction of a storage reservoir. When he needs water in his irrigation ditch he must arrange to have an equal amount of water, plus an allow ance for evaporation and seepage, turned into the river from the reser voir in which he is interested. The Arkansas river therefore will become a sort of water main during the dry season, fed by reservoirs of water stored up during the wet season. Owing to the fact that the natural location for such reservoirs would be among the mountains and gulches of Colorado, the probability is that the Kansas farmer would be storing up water for his own use hundreds of miles away, across the Colorado line. One object of the present litigation is to so arrange matters that Kansas farmers can build such reservoirs in Colorado and be protected against having all their water stolen by other irrigation ditches before it flows down far enough to reach them.

Councilman Horn, chairman of the police committee, says that he believes tnat Mayor w. t. javis is con scientious in enforcing the law. "Mayor Davis is acting conscientiously. He wants to keep the expense of running the city's affairs down as low as possi ble. He doesn't want to tax up court expenses and appeal costs against the city. Of course if the people of the city insist that will be done and every effort will be made to drive every joint in the city out. If the joints don't sell the liquor the drug stores and the clubs will. That has been the history of things here in Topeka. Liquor will be sold in Topeka, that seems to be the record of experience." F. B. Simms, councilman of the First ward, asserts that the joints enumerated in the list are all old ones. "I will take an oath before any tribunal in the state of whatever character. that every one of those1 places has been in existence for the past six years. If not in that partic ular locality, in some other locality in the city. There is not a new one in the bunch." There are a number of errors in the list which it is claimed has been carefully verified. At 225 Kansas avenue the joint which is operated at that location is under the proprietorship of Jno. Hart, an ex-policeman, who was on the force when Stahl acted as chief. Chris Meyers is not located at 400 Kansas avenue, but conducts a place of business next door. Dick Johnson, who is reputed to be running a Joint at 408 Kansas avenue, is not dispensing any liquor. Johnson runs a restaurant and has the contract from the city-to feed the prisoners at the city jail. The Star vaudeville theater occu pies the first floor of 4 20 Kansas ave nue, where another joint is said to be located. The Eagles have the upper floors above the theater. There is no Joint in the building. A drug store has crept in the list. At 106 East Sixth street a joint is said to exist. The drug store has been raided for selling liquor in violation of its permit. It is said, however, that no whisky drug stores existed in the list. At 116 East Sixth street, a few doors removed, a joint existed for a year or more. There is a restaurant at that location run by F. E. Bates. The Coronado club's address is given at 106 East Seventh. This place was raided under instructions from the county attorney over a month ago. The room has been empty since. The party who made the list evi dently took down the wrong address in a couple of instances where an effort has been made to cite the dis orderly houses. At 6 01 North Kansas avenue the rooms in the second story are occupied by an old man and his wife. There is no entrance leading from Kansas avenue, but an old rickety stairway leading from the rear of the lot. The rooms above 301 Kansas avenue have not been occu pied by a disorderly house for some thing like a year or more past. "The list was handed to me first a week or more ago," said Wm. Green.

6 THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 7, IT'S ABIG JOB. Railroad Board Still Working on Rate Figures. Time Limit for Report Was September 3. AN IMPORTANT MOVE. Will Show How Kansas Stands With Railroads. Open Way to Get at the Dis criminations. The time limit of September 3 fixed by the legislature on the work of the state board of railroad commissioners in preparing the rate statistics called for by the Stone resolution, has expired, and the voluminous tables of statistics are not yet complete. It will be a cou ple of weeks before the board can de liver copies of the tables to the gover nor, and make the results of the exami nation public. In their present state, the tables have not been summarized, as they are go voluminous that it is impossible for the board to give out any results. The fact, however, that the time limit has run on the work will not interfere with the final completion of the job, nor is it likely to make any trouble for the board of commissioners. Robert Stone, the author of the resolution, said this morning: "The resolution was passed on March 3 by both senate and house which would make the six month limit expire on September 3. But this fact will not make any material difference in the work. It can be completed and filed as Boon as possible. I understand that the work is progressing as rapidly as pos slble.and that the results will be all that had been hoped for. One of the officers of the board informed me that he believed this examination of rates would be the most important piece of railroad legisla tion enacted by the last legislature." It is known that when the tables are summarized, and the comparative rail road rates of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas can be seen at a glance, there will be the basis fur nished for a lot of important rate legis lation and rate lawsuits. Already At torney Carr Taylor has instituted 'a fight on the coal rates prevalent in the state, and the material for this suit is gained largely from the tables secured under the terms of the one resolution. A similar suit concerning the rate on salt has been filed, and also suits to exr amine the whole question of jobbing rates. The tables will show great discrepan cies in the rates prevalent in different states. Insome classes of commodities, they will show that Kansas is getting lower rates than prevail in any of the other states under examination. This is especially true in live stock shipments. Kansas is now getting bottom figures on its live stock. On coal and grain, however, Kansas is paying for its advantages in live stock. The coal and grain rates are higher in Kansas than in most of the other states of the group. v The Stone resolution provided that the rates on "all eommodiies'" should be ex amined, but the list of all possible com modities is so vast that a complete presentation would have been impossi ble without filing all the tariffs of the various railroads. So the railroad com missioners arbitrarily went ahead and selected the following list of commodi ties for examination: Cattle, hogs, sheep, horses,., soft coal, grain, flour, poultry, butter, eggs, potatoes, apples, cement, salt, lime, brick, sand, lumber, stone and hay. Even with this limitation on the original terms of the resolution, the tables necessary to cover the examina tion cover 40 sheets of typewritten matter, each sheet being three feet square. The resolution requires that the following be shown: 1. The distance tariff in Kansas and In each of the states named, in parallel columns. 2. Kates charged in Kansas and the states named on all classes and kinds of freight for the same distance to the same market. 3. Rates charged in Kansas and in the states named on all classes and kinds of freight for the same distance to different markets. 4. A comparison of rates on coal from miner, in Kansas to all Kansas points on a mileage basis. 5. A comparison of rates on coal from mines in Kansas to points in Missouri on a mileage basis. 6. A comparison of rates on Kansas roads having continuous lines of road in other states, showing charges on the same class of freight in Kansas, and in the other states through which the road operates. 7. A statement of all rates charged jobbers in interior Kansas towns as compared with rates from points on the Missouri river. S. A complete statement of all charges made by Kansas roads on all commodities and compared with like commodities in other states named. The objects of the Stone resolution are set forth in the preamble as fol lows: "Whereas, It is claimed by the rail road companies operating in Kansas that their charges are reasonable and just for the services rendered and are not in excess of rates charged for the same services In adjoining states, and "Whereas, It is claimed by the ship pers that the railroad charges in Kan sas are greatly in excess of the rates charged in adjoining states for, like services, therefore, resolved;" The resolution goes on to provide that the state board shall make the Investigation, and shall have power to send for persons and papers and ex amine witnesses under oath. A report of findings shall be sent to the gov ernor witnin six months, and the find ings given to the press. In con elusion, the object of the investigation Is set forth as follows: "To secure an official and intelligent statement from the board of railroad commissioners, and furnished bv the board to the press in such shape as may re plainly snown to and under stood by the people, and thus settle the controversy as to rates which is now pending between the railroads and the people or tnis state. The board of railroad commissioners is preparing by the use of carbon sheets, four copies of the tables. One copy will go to the governor, one will be filed in the office of the board, one will be for the use of the press, and one will be used as printer's copy in the annual report. $5,000,000 Mining Merger. San' Francisco, Sept. 7. The' Ex aminer today says: W. P.

Caldwell, the murdered stockman, was held late Wednesday afternoon, the burial taking place from the residence. Mrs. Caldwell, the wife, who is held on the charge of murder ing her husband, was not able to ar range her bond and was taken to the funeral by the sheriff. It was an un usual sight to witness the accused woman at her husband's funeral in charge of an officer. If she struck the blow which killed her husband, the same hands tenderly laid flowers on the coffin which contained the body of her victim. LIGHT PUNISHMENT. Taggart's Mother Says Many a Man in His Place Would Have Killed. Wooster. O., Sept. 7 "If he struck her she must have deserved it. Many a man would have killed her if she was guilty," were the words of the aged mother of Captain Taggart on the witness stand when being cross examined by Judge Smyser. The good old mother admitted, too, that she would color her testimony if it would help her son. Thomas Moraldo, the Filipino, valet, questioned if he did not say to Mrs. Taggart when sweeping the hall and talking of the beating that Captain Taggart gave her, "mucha combatta," meaning a big fight, when talking of the trouble. declared he had said nothing of the kind. Thomas also in sisted that although he had swept the hall the next morning he had not found any hair or torn clothing on the floor. Mrs. Taggart will take the stand again in her own behalf and be ques tioned as to a number of matters. Mrs. Vose and the colored woman will also be recalled. Mrs. Morrow Taggart, the captain's mother, insisted that Mrs. Taggart did not tell her that she was going to Akron. "How often was Grace in church while in Orrville?" "Only twice that I know of. "One night Billy and Grace went to the cellar together and remained a short time. Next morning Grace told me they were down there hunting apples." On cross-examination the old lady admitted that she would color her tes timony in favor of her son. "In giving your testimony now, you want to make everything appear as bad as you can against "Grace?" "No, I feel sorry for her if she did these things." Captain Taggart was the last wit ness of the day. He denied that Mrs. Taggart found him drunk in the bath room at Leavenworth. He also en tered a denial to the charge of intoxi cation the night of the bridge dedica tion. "Were you ever in the cafe at Ma-, tanzas with Mrs. Taggart before the night you found her there drinking?" "No, sir; I never was," was the an swer. He asserted also that the young offi cers with Mrs. Taggart and Mrs. Saf farans in the cafe were not in his house before they went to the cafe. Mrs. Karl Ludwig, of Orrville, said that Billy Taggart showed her a check for $75 which he said came from Grace. William Ohl, also of Orrville, stated that he had seen Billy wearing a dia mond ring, which he said belonged to Grace. Howard Taggart swore that Mrs. Taggart told him that attending church at Fort Leavenworth was a "d d bore," and Thomas Moraldo, the Filipino servant of Captain Tag gart, declared that he saw no bruises on Mrs. Taggart's face the morning after the alleged scrap. ROB GAMBLING HOUSE. Masked Men Witli Revolvers Secure $8,200 in Cash. New York. Sept. 7. One of the most startling robberies in the history of the under-world in this city happened a day or two ago, according to the World, in a brown stone mansion in West Kightieth street. The place has bten used recently as a gambling house. A well known turfman had put in an ev ening of high play during which he lost $7,500. He had left the house but a few minutes when there came a rapping t the door. A lookout was sent down, and three men wearing masks dashed through the door. They quickly made their way to the main gaming room, where ten players were seated at roulette tables. Two revolvers were leveled at the proprietor, while the third robber annexed $8,200 in bills gathered from the cash drawers. The men im mediately fled and were joined at the street door by a fourth, who had held the lookout under guard while his pals were within. The owners of the estab lishment are now searching for the lookout who they declare planned the robbery. DOfLAP THE CHAMPIONS. Play Best Ball of Any of the Morris County Teams. Dunlap, Kan., Sept. 7.

Fire Candidates for Presidency of the W. R. C. Mrs. Belle C. Harris of Emporia Is in the Race. LEGISLATIVE B 0 D V Of the Grand Army Encampment Hold First Session. Diamond Badge Presented to Commander-in-Chief King. DenVe'r, Sept 7. The national con vention of the Woman's Relief Corps began its session at 9 o'clock today in the Trinity church. The most interest ing political fight of any of the conven tions connected with, the G. A. R. en campment is on in this body. There are five candidates" for the office, of president and three for that of treas urer. The latter office has a five year tenure and the incumbent, besides con trolling the finances of the organization, is a power in the politics of the body. As one prominent leader in the relief corps expressed it, any one aspiring to either office must line up openly in choosing their favorite for the other office and consequently some very pe culiar combinations are the result. For the office of president, lrrs..Kate Jones of New York; ..Mrs. Carrie E. Sparklin of St. Louis; Mrs.. Belle C. Harris of Emporia, Kan.; Mrs; Abbie A. Adams of Superior, Neb., and -Xfrs. Geraldine E. Frisble of San Francisco are entered in the race. Each has her following and even the men of the Grand Army have been pressed into the campaign and are working hard for their favorites. Mrs. Charlotte E. Wright of Hartford, Conn., Mrs. Emily E. White of Indiana, and Mrs. Emily Milham aspire to the office of treasurer. The first business transacted by the Woman's Relief Coips this morning was the formal welcome to the city and state and responses. Then fraternal greetings were received from the aux iliary bodies and the Grand Army en campment. The first meeting of the legislative body of the 39th annual encampment of the G. A. R. began at 10 o'clock today at the Broadway theater. With the exception of a few minutes, during which state and city officials welcomed the old soldiers, and responding speech es were made by Commander-in-Chief King and others, the sessions today were secret. It did not take long for the encampment delegates to get down to business. After accepting the roll, wheih had been prepared and printed in advance, formal presentation of a dia mond badge to Commander-in-Chief King, indicative of his past commander ship, was made. At the same time it was announced that the aides to former Commander-in-Chief Wilmon W. Black mar, who died before the expiration of his term of office, would present a loving cup to the widow of General Blaekmar. General King's Address. The session was opened with an im pressive prayer by Chaplain in Chief J. H. Bradford of Washington, D. C. Welcoming addresses were made by Governor Jesse F. McDonald, Mayor Speer and General George W. Cook, chairman of the Denver executive com mittee in charge of the encampment At General King's suggestion three cheers were given the speakers. General King then delivered his ad dress. When he came to that part re ferring to the Daughters of Veterans' association, the memory of the loss of his daughters recently, all members of the above association, overcame him, and he sat down with tears streaming down his cheeks. The paragraph was read by Past Commander in Chief Wagner. The address covered the record of the administration of the late Com mander in Chief Wilmon W. Blaekmar, whose service covered eleven months of the term for which he was elected. From the very beginning of his term, Commander in Chief Blackmar's pur pose was to do all that man could do to encourage the several departments, particularly those that were weakest or most remote, and, so far as lay in his power, infuse new life and energy and health to their ranks, and give to them added inspiration to continue bravely and manfully in the work they were carrying on for God and country and humanity. The work of the committee on pen sions has been mainly devoted to urg ing the passage of a service pension bill. The number of certificates issued in 1905 was 182.207 more than 30, 000 in exces sof the year before and still more in excess of former years. The large number was due to the operation of order No. 78, the bureau granting 12,436 original nensions and j 34,549 increased pensions under the order. Since the order was issued, April 13, 1904, the total number of alolwahces under it was 65.612. most of them, however, having been for in crease. The pension roll now contains the names of 684.608 survivors of the cival war as against 690.792 at the close of 1904. The deaths in 1905 of survirvors of the civil war were 30,324. Vigilance must not be relaxed to pre vent action by congress depriving our office holding comrades of their well earned means of livelihood. The observance of the exercises of Memorial day has become so wide spread that at the present time scarce ly a city, town or village can be found in this great republic that does not in some manner pay tribute to the na tion s honored dead. The Daughters of Veterans by com bining their influence in such an or ganization as the National Alliance Daughters of Veterans can accomplish much in the way of inculcating in the minds of children a love for me coun try and a loyal devotion to the flag as the emblem of national unity and the rights of man. The report of John R. King as senior vice commander-in-chief contained the following: "The time is passing when we can hope for a material increase in our mebership. yet there are many, very many survivors of the Union armies of the civil war who still hold aloof and fail to avail themselves of their eligi bility to join the Grand Army of the Republic. "In view' of the great benefit the in fluence of out order has been to them in the way of influencing legislation along the line of pension enactments, it is surprisingly astonishing why there are so many who are willing to reap the benefits of our organized efforts and yet remain outside of our ranks, leav ing a relatively few the burden of fight ing for the rights of the old soldiers." Patten's Report. The report of G. W. Patten, junior vice commander-in-chief referred to the enthusiastically cordial greeting extend ed to hi min the south during his visit to the posts there. Veterans are em ployed in the parks at Vicksburg and Shiloh, but at Chattanooga, Gettysburg and Antietart the positions occupied by the veterans were taken from under the civil service rules, after which the veterans were discharged, one after an other, until all were gone that any ex cuse could be found for suspending.

E. Gilman stated in his report that the membership June 30, 1905, was 232,455. The deaths during the year were 9,152, The net loss for the year was 14,885. The number -under suspension June 30, was 19,563. The to tal expenditures for relief .were $98,863. Speaking of Gen. Blaekmar, the adjut ant general said:r'His virtues were many, and his fa")''" were few. He was the noblest type of a free-born American." Quartermaster General Charles Bur rows reported receipts (including bal ance $10,692) of $26,261, and expenditures of $15,334. leaving the balance August 2, 1905. $10,927. Inspector General Lee Esteel report ed that there are 28,534 members in the National home and 13.741 in the state home. State laws, he said, giving ex-soldiers preference in appointments seem to be more ornamental than useful, and are not enforced. He hoped the laws mak ing it a criminal offense to play games, have horse races, etc., on memorial day would not become a dead letter. Allen C. Bakewell, chief aide in charge of military instruction and pat riotic instruction in schools, reported that the teaching of patriotism into the pupils of schools has become vastly more general through the co-operation of posts, the assistance of department commanders, the support of superin tendents of public instruction than hith erto and with these growing influences now substantially ibtained, the -results must multiply until the grand object shall be attained of placing the statue of patriotism a lofty pedestal, to rank highest among the exhibits of the vir tues of a self-government people. Mili tary instruction in public schools is growing to be considered an important feature of the curriculum. Flag day has been recognized in many localities. "The supplies for common education being furnished bv the state, why not the flag, which is the text book of patriotism?". NORTH TOPEKA. Lpave items for this column with Kim ball Printing Co,, 912 N.

It was even then sug gested that relief might be had by tak ing in the whole bridge as a roadway and attaching footways on the outside.. It is jio stretch of the imagination to say that with the coming renaissance of North Topeka the business of the city will seriously suffer from con gestion at this crossing unless relieved by another bridge, or by sdme other remedy. The present traffic will be largely increased, the moment the Sardou avenue bridge is rebuilt, al though that bridge will also to some extent afford relief. One practical and economical remedy of course to a limited degree may be found by the aid of the city railway company in constructing a footway covering the entire space between the Melan bridge and the railway bridge. This it would seem can be done at a nominal cost. How absurd it now seems that not long ago there were those who favored giving the city railway company the use of the Melan bridge.

Before the labor commissioners of the United States Commissioner Blair of -Pennsylvania said in his address: "What is needed in the labor bureau of the United States is less politics. With politics eliminated and men of wise judgment selected to fill the offices a greater work, could be accomplished. Give the commissioners plenty of room and unhampered choice of their as sistants. Give us a universal system of gathering statistics." Pekin Is Suspicious. Pekin. Sept. 7.

View of the grain market, furnished by Thomas J. Myers, broker, ground floor Columbian building, Topeka, Kan. WHEAT The wheat market is acting in better, form and the market maneuver and price changes suggest higher prices will soon be established. Estimates of lib eral yields in the northwestern states con tinue to come in, although reports from some sections are not so optimistic as they were a few. days ago. Reports as to the failure of the Russian crop in many pro vinces have been confirmed, and while the United' States may have 75 to 100 million more bushels than the crop at 1904, th deficiency in the Russian crop from that of last year must offset any gain in yield in the United States and Canada, This is no mere hypothesis. It is an in disputable fact. It is also a fact that wheat sold last Saturday 2to per bushel lower than it did at tha earn time on year ago. Are these two faots oonaistent? Is it possible to deduce from tha compar ison an argument that wheat ought to sell still lower? On the contrary does it not seem quite probable that tha price of wheat ought to materially advance? The Liverpool Cora Trade News says regarding the wheat situation On the one side we have America, with a fair surplus from larger crops seeking to find an export leveU whilst on the other aid European markets are being kept steady by the knowledge that in important pro ducing regions of Russia, -France and Spain the crops have givan very poor re sults, and in Germany the quality ig so poor that increased imports of foreign sorts are likely to be needed. The un favorable crop situation in India has also influenced the market situation on this side, although so far only the crops of na tive food grains are affected, but these have great importance to millions of peo ple in India. CORN In the face of the record break ing corn crop, I think prices are too high. If cars could be obtained in Nebraska and other places where they have corn- to sell, receipts would materially increase and this will cause lower prices. Therefore I be lieve it safe to sell corn on all rallies. PROVISIONS The packers seem to have withdrawn their support to the pork market and prices are on the toboggan slide. Hogs are declining and there are a good many left over in the pens. The big corn crop will make cheap hogs and cheap hogs will make cheap provisions. I believe the speculator can make money selling pork on all rallies. New York Stock. Wall St., New York, Sept. 7. STOCKS Free selling throughout the list carried the opening prices of stocks sharply down wards. The weakness in London, due to the increase in the Bank of England rate of discount, was the contributing cause. Louisville and Nashville fell 1 points, Canadian Pacific 14 points and Pennsyl vania, B. and O., Texas and Pacific, Amal gamated Copper and Metropolitan Street Railway about a point. There were many sharp fractional declines in addition. Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis dropped 4 points. Some of the initial losses were made up, but the market was unable to withstand the pressure on the rise and yielded again. Many of the leaders sold lower than at the start, especially Reading and New York Central, which dropped 1 points. Declines of a point or over were numerous. St. Paul, Union Pacific, North ern Pacific, Ontario and Western, Atlantio Coast Line, Erie, Denver ahd Rio Grande, the Smelting stocks, Locomotive. Tennes see Coal, 8ugar, Sloss-Sheffield Steel and the local traction group lost 1 to 1 points, Central of New Jersey, Northwestern and Hocking Valley 2 points and General Electric 3 points. Toward the end of the hour a full recovery in Amalgamated Cop per a general rally and the market be came quiet. Further covering movements by the bears restored prices generally to last night's level and for the leading active stock to small fractions above. The trad ing became progressively dull as the re covery proceeded and prices sagged slight ly before noon. Bonds were irregular. Slight upward progress was made after 12 o'clock on a very light demand; Lead Improved point. The market backed and filled until near 2 o'clock, when the prices began to give way mora easily. Union Pacific fell rather abruptly to 1284 and St. Paul and other represen'ative leaders also eama back to the lowest. Prices tumbled very general ly in sympathy. Ranges of Prices on Stocks.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THUBSD AY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1905. COLELLERY'SMEN Famous Band Master Takes Interest in Them. How Liborio, Trombone Soloist, Got His Name. LEGEND OF A SAIXT. Changed His Tactics by a Ducking. Band to Be in Topeka on Monday. Colonel Channing Ellery, who will bring his Royal Italian band to To peka for two concerts at the Audi torium Monday, is very much interest ed in the individual members .of .the band, who as may be inferred, are all ions of sunny Italy. Colonel Channiiig Ellery of Colonel Ellery told the following story today about Liborio Lomonte, one of his trombone soloists: "One day I was talking to Lomonte and remarked to him that he must be outside the iale of the church since his name, contrary to the almost uni versal custom in Italy, appeared to have no connection with any saint in the calendar. Lomonte, howevqr de nied with some indignation the accusa tion of being saintless, declaring that T thnn. 1 a 1 1 .j. j udu uceu a uuiy sancunea per sonage even thoush he had fewer halos than some of the saints with big ger reputations. 'There are lots of stories about the original Liborio,' said Lomonte, and then proceeded to tell me this most diverting legend: "It is a well known fact that everv little town and village in Italy has its patron saint who is supposed to stand guard over its interests, moral and physical. Now. way down in Calabria in the toe of the boot-shaaed Italian peninsula, there is a little bit of a vil lage that claims Saint Liborio as its special property, and every year, as is customary, the gentleman has his festa or holiday set aside for the cele bration of his virtues and glories. The worst of it was that it never failed to rain on Saint Liborio's day, and after the citizens spent lots of money in bringing bands into town; saving up their pennies for tinsel decorations and fireworks, it always rained cats and dogs, causing the jubilee to break up in confusion. After many years of these misfortunes, the citizens got to gether and appointed a special com mittee to carry out the usual festivi ties, placing at the head of it the town character.' a man of originality and """"ji- Leave lioorio to I?ei.aid M?18 .wortly- 'I'" Ax him and If f t?n 1 glve us sood weather, I'll finish him up in fine style tr7.? ,faV,?ryU''nf. was Prepared for the Tni 2 n e Pr"-eding night a full moon hold sway in all her glorv and ereat rain nLZJ" at thp "tLVlht hi t?Sn-Tmt was eoing to change far iTiHo."? u"" pe"p"' Sphered from isr and wide: thp streets were alive urn.

C "V wuni nrst in the Quarantine Is Raised. An a result of the negotiations men tioned some time ago in the State Journal between State Live Stock In spector John B. Baker and the United Riaies department of agriculture, the government quarantine against Kan sas cattle for scabies has been raised as far west as the western boundaries of Smith, Osborne, Russell, Barton, Pratt and Barber counties. The further provision is made that cattle may be moved to market even from the. quarantined district without inspection, provided they show no evi dence of the disease, and the cars are placarded "subject to inspection at uestinauon- TUCKER MAY SUE. Uncle Sam Oil Company President Talks of Retaliation. Criminal libel suits against a num ber of newspapers and magazines con trolled by- the Standard Oil company are tnreatened by H. H. Tucker, secre tary of the Uncle Sam Oil refinery. Mr. Tucker claims that the Oil City Derrick, published by a Pennsylvania corporation under Standard Oil super vision, published a slanderous article about him, and his refinery proposi tion. Mr. Tucker has given out a state ment concerning the case, in which he says: "Realizing that our company is un der good management and destined to be the great competitor of Standard Oil in the central west, the system then turned its great gun, the Oil City Der rick, against the IlnrlB'Sam om nanv in a most scurrilous article against the secretary of the company, and charged the falsehoods, 'trlit the refinerv had never produced a' pint of refined oil because it never has run a minute; Kllery's Royar Italian Band. that the postal authorities would issue a fraud order against Tucker, one of these days; that the Uncle Sam officers in the opinion of some lawyers (Stand ard hirelings, we suppose), will ac quire an interest in some penitentiary,' etc. This article was copied in certain Kansas papers depending on Standard Oil support, and to their surprise, no doubt, before this article is printed they have received letters, of which following copy is a sample: "Uherryvale, Kan., Sept. 6, 1905. "Publishers of The Peru Gazette, Peru, Kansas. "Gentlemen: The article published in the Gazette, No. 20. Vol. 2, of date Sep tember 1, 1905, in the first column, first page, entitled. 'A Daily Boomer,' in its references to Mr. H. H. Tucker. Jr., the secretary-treasurer of this Uncle Sam Oil company, is libellous, per-se, in all the untruths and slanderous charges made against the said Mr. Tucker. "I therefore give you. this notice as required by the laws of the state of Kansas, to give you an opportunity to retract the libellous statements con tained in said article, as a preliminary to the bringing of an action for criminal libel against you for the publication of the slanderous charges made in that said article. Respectfully yours. "W. F. RIGHTMIRB, x "Attorney for H. H. Tucker, Jr. "And all other papers will take due notice that they in future will be called to account in the courts of Kansas tor like slanderous articles published, and were it not that the interests of our stockholders require all our time In com pleting the pipe line and Atchison re finery of the company, we would call the publishers of the Oil City Derrick to account in the federal courts of Penn sylvania, at once, but there is time for that when we have completed our var ious pipe lines and refineries. THEY GOT LOST. Men Who Tried to Fill Places of Strik ing Mail Drivers Fall. New York. Sept. 7. The mail de livery wagons whose operations in the great business and hotel center be tween the Battery and Forty-second street were interfered with by a strike of 300 of the New York Mail com pany's drivers were in partial opera tion only today. Wall street, where mail is delivered by another con tractor, was the only portion of the business center not affected by the strike. A message from Washington offering assistance to the New York company if it should be needed came early today, but even preceding this oner there were 400 applicants at the stables here seeking the positions left vacant by the striking drivers. Some of these men, however, were induced by the strikers to withdraw their ap plications, while others who did go to work proved to be strangers in the city and got lost with their wagons while attempting to drive over the regular routes. Assistant Postmaster Morgan was anie to make the following statement: "The teamsters' strike has in no way interfered with the rapid handling of first class mail matter. The outgoing mails were sent off on time and all mail matter from the incoming early morning trains on tne truunk lines to day was brought to the general post- office in automobiles and other vehicles. The morning collections were made as usual. Claim Survey Is Bad. R. N. Richardson and the Richardson Gas Oil company today filed suit in the supreme court for the purpose of invalidating the survey of the city of Altoona. The plaintiffs claim that the survey was improperly made and that as a result of it they have lost valuable property. The fact that valuable gas ana oil wells exist on the disputed prop erty makes the fight a bitter one. The lower court held that the survey was correct.

Pa., Sept. 7. A collision of express trains on the Western Neiy York and Pennsylvania road at Wil mington Junction,, ten miles north, of here, is reported. The latest report from the scene of the wreck is that two were killed and a score or more injured. The dead are: William Barnhardt, engineer, and-'the fireman, whose name is not known, j At this time it is impossible to give the list of injured but it is said a num ber were from this city. All the am bulances in Newcastle have been sum moned. The trains in the collision were an extra passenger from this city loaded with excursionists bound for the Stone boro fair and the regular train from Stoneboro. which is due to arrive here at 9:30. The trains met on the curve but the cause is not yet known. mere were many people on tne ex cursion train and when news of the wreck reached here there was great excitement. The wreck train from this city was dispatched to the scene of the wreck and it is impossible to get any definite news from' the place until the road is cleared. William Barnhardt. who lost his life, was a resident of Stoneboro and had been on the road ever since it was built, over 30 years ago. He was running on the regular train. The fireman and engineer of the special saved their lives by jump ing. At least a half dozen of those in jured are considered serious and may not survive. SAUNA JOBBERS HEARD. They Want Rates Into the City of Topeka. The railroad companies have made application to the state board of rail road commissioners for permission to put into effect the jobbers' rate from Salina to Topeka. The rate now ex tends up to Topeka, but does not en able the Salina jobbers to compete in Topeka against Topeka jobbers. The railroad commissioners have held up this application pending an examination. They suspect that it may mean that a fight between Topeka and Salina Jobbers is about to start, but on the other hand say that pos sibly Salina is manufacturing some commodities which ought to have the benefit of the low rates to Topeka. BERRY HAS CLOSE CAM. Oklahoma Convict Nearly Pardoned to Be Tried fop Murder. John Berry, a prisoner serving a sen tence in the Kansas penitentiary for horse stealing in Winfield, has had a narrow escape from being pardoned by Governor Hoch in order that the Oklahoma author ities might nso him on a murder charge. Berry was sent to Lansing last July to serve a sentence of from one to seven years. A month ago a letter was received from Gov. Z"trguson of Oklahoma stating that three years ago Berry, or Fred Brown, as he is known in Oklahoma, kill ed the Bev. Norse Winston with a club and a reck because Winston had testified against him in a lawsuit. Berry, or Brown, then d'sappeared and the Oklaho ma authorities were unable to locate him until he wae found in the Kansas peniten tiary. Gov. Ferguson requested that ht be pardoned so that .e might be tried fpi the- murder before the witnesses were scattered. Gov. Hoch, in reply, asked Gov. Fergu on if he was sure that Berry could be convicted for the murder. Today Gov. Ferguson replied that he had been inform ed by the county authorities that one of the principal witnesses agalns Berry had just died and that it would be very diffi cult to secure a conviction. Hence Berry will be allowed to stay in the Kansas pen. itentiary to await developments. SIX DIE OF CHOLERA. Fifteen New Cases Reported in the German Capital. Berlin, Sept. 7.

RACE FEUD IN SCHOOLS. Negroes of .Bonner Springs Object to Separate Enrollment. Kansas City, Sept. 7. Negro pupils and white pupils were, mixed indiscrim inately in the school building of Bonner" Springs, enrollment day. For a time a physical clash was imminent. There were 120 negro students and 350 white students.. As Prof. Stotler would direct the negro pupils to go into the rooms set apart for them the negro men and women would cry oufdifferent directions and send the negroes into the same rooms with the white pupils. Hot words were exchanged and there came near being a clash .between the white and negro children.- The members of the boafC of educa tion were sent for and when J. D. Wa ters, one of the members, arrived at the building he ordered the negro men and women off the school grounds. The negro men left the building, but the negro women, twenty in number, re fused to budge. Finally the negro wo men took charge of, the negro pupils and directed them into the rooms, oc cupied by the whites and placed thern by the side of the white students. The negro women became so noisy and boisterous that the members of the board of education ordered the enroll ment postponed until next Monday morning.

A., Topeka 'Fitwell Shoes ire Better."' 1 Cf pi PLUMBERS ARE EXCITED They Object to Giving the City An- other Bond. Trouble is brewing between the plumbers in the city and Superintend ent Jesse Shaw of the waterworks de partment. ine aiftlculty-arises over the at tempt' of the latter to have the plumbers file' a 42,000 surety bond to insure protection, to the department against any:; damages which might accrue from faulty plumbing: -The plumpers have already on file surety bonds with the city clerk in accord ance with instructions from the city engineer to protect the city from dam ages in making excavations in the streets. The plumbers feel that one bond ought to serve both purposes. They believe that the one surety bond could he altered to cover both items. C. Staates. a plumber, said: "I think it is an outrage to force us to put up another bond. They have one oona Irom us already. There is en tirely too much red tape surrounding piumDlng in this city. Why there is mpre red tape in- this little town than there is in New York city. The rules and regulations governing inspection are modeled after those used in Chi cago but they are even more strict in Topeka than they are in Chicago. The people all pay for this red tape. It's tne people that suffer for this, we don't. We charge it up to them again. Since putting in this inspection of plumbing into the city government as a department the price of plumbing has increased rrom 20 to 25 per cent, all due to this red tape business. You cant do a thing now without paying a fee. You can t put in a dram without paying a fee. The right way for them to do Js to recall these surety bonds which we have given to the city and change them to include what the waterworks' department wants. Two bonds is too much to ask of us." John Sheehan, who is a member of the city board of plumbing examiners, feels greatly,. incensed. "I.. can't un derstand what they mean by asking another bond from us. if they expect to force me to sign up another bond I will go out of business. Yes, sir, I will go out of business before I will do anything like that. They will have a time to get me to sign such a thing. It is ridiculous. We .have given one bond already to the city to cover ex cavations made in the streets and that sort of thing and that is enough. If they want anything more they ought to change the bonds that we have given so as to cover this." The Mood Plumbing company had no objection to find with the presenta tion of a new bond. They thought it rather high, but expressed themselves to the effect that it was probably all right. I can see where it would, do some good," said one member of the firm; "it keeps out some of these men who are not plumbers and who try to do plumbing." Jesse Shaw explained the position ot the department. ''When the old Tope ka Water company was in existence we demanded personal bonds from the plumbers to protect ourselves from faulty plumbing and to keep informed as to what was going on in the way of new plumbing. But when the city bought the plant the trustees thought that the only thing to do would be to demand surety bonds and it is in ac cordance with those instructions that I am acting. There are a number of men who are not plumbers who try to do plumbing and it is against that class of men that we must be protected. The way .it is now the, plumber comes to us to get a permit -when ne has a jod to ao which affects our. department. When he, is through-with his. job he returns hia permit stating when, he completed his job. ..This gives us an opportunity to keep check upon the plumbing that is going- on. Otherwise we wouldn't know what, was Dejng aone. lnese bonds which are given now by the plumbers to the city do not cover our department and for that reason we are asking a new bond." r Cotton Yield Is Small.

Twenty-six thousand dollars is the amount which Receiver Bradley of the Virst National bank has secured from the stockholders upon the 100 per cent assessment which was levied against them on the first of August. All this even is not in cash, but con stitutes both promises to pay as well as cash payments. Thirteen out of twenty-one stockholders are on the list of those who have paid up. A number of the remainder cannot pay and still others will not. Against the latter class proceedings of a legal nature will be instituted to insure a collection. The second payment upon the as sessment Is due the latter part of this week. When the announcement of the assessment was made the stockholders were given permission to make their payments in three installments, the first falling due on the 7th of August, the second on the 7th of September and the third and last upon the 7th of October. When the announcement was made, Receiver Bradley stated that he thought that about $40,000 out of the $300,000 due would be collect able. It looks now as if this guess would have to be revised and modi fied considerably. J. T. Bradley, the receiver, said to day: "We will have to zo after some of these stockholders and make them pay. We will not act abruptly, but we certainly will insist that they pay up. Twenty-six thousand dollars is thus far in sight: some of this is in cash and the remainder in promises. This, however, can all be relied upon. Three of the stockholders have given us their assurance that they would pay. One of these men I did not ex pect to get anything from at all.

A dispatch to the Record-Herald from St. Louis, says: Dr. W. J. MeGee, who was head of the anthropological department of the World's fair, was in St. Louis yester day on his way back to Washington af tre a remarkable four months experi ment in the Great American desert, Ari zona, in which he says he discovered how storms are bred in the region, which has long been termed the "storm breeding belt." "A reservoir of aqueous vapor is form ed over the Pacific coast and the gulf of California," he said, "and this swings over the 'storm-breeding belt.' The ground here is perfectly level, and the radiation from the earth's surface is consequently regular and even. The heat radiation from the desert is, of course, very great. This strong radia tion by its regularity keeps the aqueous vapor high above the earth in a stable condition. "When the vapor moves eastward, over the .mountains, and meets the ir regular radiation that comes from' the uneven surface of the earth, a precipi tation of the vaper results, causing rain and storms."

A Total of 650,000 Tons Placed Witliln a Week. Cleveland, O., Sept. 7. The Iron Trade Review in its current issue says: Sales of rails since the price of $28 for 1906 delivery was announced last week have been tremendous, breaking all records and furnishing substantial evidence of very great prosperity in the iron business, present and prospective. It is estimated that these orders for rails for 1906 placed within a week will amount to 650,000 tons, and-orders for several hundred thousand tons are pend ing. Although the United States Steel corporation has booked very large or ders, it has not alone enjoyed the un expectedly heavy business from the rail roads. The Colorado Fuel Iron com pany reports its entire rail output sold for the year 1906, and the Tennessee Coal, Iron Railroad company, the Lackawanna Steel company and other interests are well supplied with orders. Among the bookings of the past week were the following: Chicago Northwestern 70,000 tons; Burlington 50,000; Santa Fe 50,000; Milwaukee St. Paul 65,000; Wisconsin Central 22,000; Great Northern 40,000. Accompanying the orders for rails are many orders for cars and locomotives. The Pennsylavnia system has ordered 15,000 steel cars. Other railroads have bought liberally and inquiries for at least 75,000 steel and wooden cars are pending. The announcement of an ad vance of $2 per ton on structural shapes, although not expected, is received by the trade as being justified by market con ditions. Orders for over 20.000 tons of struc tural steel were placed at Chicago last week. The market for pig iron is rather quiet, but in nearly all selling centers there is an improved tone. The demand for plates and steel bars continues very strong, and the trade would not be sur prised to hear of an advance on these products at an early day., The American Shipbuilding company has placed con tracts for plates for thrae large freight ers, and additional contracts are pend ing. There is already considerable com plaint about car shortage. This is prac tically true concerning coke, for which the demand has become so strong that the railroads are finding it difficult to give prompt shipment. Some jobbing interests also complain that they can not get cars promptly. WILL BE BURIED HERE. Body of Eugene Dickinson Won't Be Taken Home. Coroner II. H. Keith has received in structions from.P. L. Dickinson, of Akeley, Iowa, to bury his son, Eugene W. Dickinson, who died Wednesday morning as the result of morphine poisoning, in Topeka, and send his ef fects to Dr. John W. Dickinson, of Boone, Iowa. Dickinson's suit case was found at Young's drug store, where he had left it before going to the telegraph office where he was found in an unconscious condition by the officers. The valise contained a small medicine case and a good suit of clcthes. For Simply Taking Corn. Great Bend. Sept. 7. Chas.

The city electric light plant will have to run next week for the sole purpose of furnishing light for the fair grounds. The moonlight schedule is on for next week and the plant ordinarily would be shut down. The committee on gas and electric lights of the council last night, however, decided that it would recommend that the plant be run to furnish light for the fair grounds dur ing fair week. This action was taken at the request of the board of directors of the fair association who claimed that it has always been customary 5'or the city to furnish the light. The directors wanted the city to fur nish the poles and the wiring also, but the city did not have any of these neces sities on hand and the directors will have to rustle this elsewhere. No action was taken by the committee with reference either to the proposition of E. E. Roudebush to sell the plant to him or to the purchase of new lamps of the enclosed type. The former of these propositions was referred to the city attorney for advice. The commit tee doubts whether the city council has the right to dispose of the plant with out first submitting it to a vote of the people. W. F. Schoch, representing the War ner Electric company, endeavored to have the committee report in favor of his lamp. The members of the commit tee who were present. Councilmen Hughes and Simms did not want to take any action until the remaining member of the committee, C. K. Holli day, was present. The committee has recommended in favor of the Warner lamp two or three times but the ways and means committee has blocked their recommendations in the city council at every turn.

"I have never objected to Jeffries on the score of dishonesty, but on account of the change in the betting I thought that there might be collusion between Jeffries and the Britts." Such is the statement made by Billy Dolan, manager of Battling Nelson. Nolan prefaced this remark by the statement that he was firm in his re fusal to allow Nelson to go in the ring next Saturday if the heavyweight champion is to be the referee, and added that Nelson will abide byiany decision that his manager may make. Nolan declared that Nelson never had made the statement attributed to him that any referee, except Billy Roche, would be agreeable to him. Nolan said: "When Jeffries did not arrive here according to the program, but Instead sent a telegram to the club demanding $2,000 for his services, I considered that we were entitled to another man. particularly as the bet ting had dropped after Jeffries was named. Then .when Britt's brother sent a telegram to Jeffries signing Billy Delaney's name to it, and Britt received the answer to Delaney ac cepting $1,000, it strengthened my be lief that there was something wrong." REGISTERING FOR SCHOOL. A Big Increase In Attendance Is Prom ised in New York. New York, Sept. 7. School chil dren, big and little, called yesterday upon their, principals all over greater New York to register for the school term which will begin next Monday. The offices remained open until 3 o'clock, and the teachers will be on hand again today and tomorrow to furnish information and accept the eligibles. While no complete statistics will be available for some days, there is an estimated increase of 30,000 in the total registration. Last season it was 2,000 below this mark. New sittings amounting to 30,000 have been pro vided, and six months from now 83 new buildings will be ready. Some of them will be occupied next week and the work of finishing the others will be pushed, so that all may be ready to receive pupils before another school term. These new schools will provide for 93.700 elementary sittings and 10, 610 high school sittings. Members of the board of education expect to have so many school buildings within three years that no pupil will be refused admission for full time. Great precaution is being taken this year to prevent children under the prescribed age from obtaining en trance to the classes. Birth certifi cates or other indisputable evidence must be brought forward before a child is registered. HIS 'FEELINGS HURT. Gas City Man Wants $3,000 for Being Severely Humiliated. Iola, Sept. 7.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL; THURSDAY EVENTNG, SEPTEMBER -j 1905 READY FOR THEM. Washburn Football Players Ate Arriving. Hanager Stahl and Captain Hill Are Here. TO OPEN ON SEPT. 23. First Game With the Topeka High School. The Thanksgiving Date With Colorado College. Manager Stahl of the Wa3hburn Ath letic association, returned to Topeka trom Wichita yesterday, and Captain. Elmes. Uill of the football team will be la tomorrow. The first preliminary practice will be held Friday afternoon. Manager Stahl said today in speaking of the football outlook: "I believe that Washburn will have a stronger team this year than last. Several good men have left us, and it will be hard to fill their places, but there is this consola tion, K. U. and other schools which play under the new anti-freshman rule will be up against the same difficulty to filling the positions that we are." The Washburn season opens on Sep- fcigh school. The high school team promises to be strong this year. It will be coached by Dr. Outland, the Wash burn coach. Washburn's first college game will be with the College of Emporia at Topeka cn September 30. Members of the last year's first' team who will be in school this year are Sharp, Williams, Brown, Hill, Haughey, Millice and White. "Billy" Rice, on. whom Washburn was counting for one of its backfield this year, will not be In school. He and Arthur Griggs will join "Fanny" Mehl at the Western University of Pennsylvania. This school does not play under any collegiate rules and It seems to be able to offer induce ments to football players which western schools do not afford. Frank Griggs will also be absent. He will go to the University of Pennsyl vania to take an engineering course. Washburn had hoped to land both Rice and Frank Griggs for this year's .team, and their presence in the line up would probably be sufficient to assure Wash burn the state championship. Millice will probably play quarter back for this year's Washburn team. White, Johnson and Williams, all first team men last year, are good for the backfield positions. Lee, a last year's sub, is eligible for halfback. Stevenson, another sub, will try for quarter. In the line, Washburn will need a couple of big men, and it is hard to tell where they can be found. Joe Louthan is not expected to return, and his 200 pounds will be missed at guard. If Louthan does not come back, Piatt, a last year's sub. and Brown, who play ed guard last year, will rrobably take these positions. Hilf and Sharp, tackles of last year's team, will be in their old positions. Haughey will be back at end, and Tice is the most promi.isng candidate foT the other end. The Tice brothers played the -ends in the game against Missouri university last year, and distinguished themselves. This leaves Washburn shy a good man at center, and with no big men for substitutes in the line. The center posi tion is not hard to fill, and the substi tute material must te developed. New Rules Make Trouble. The new rule adopted both by the Chicago conference and the Kansas conference which prohibits the use of players who have not been in regular attendance at the school for at least one full year Is playing hob with the football teams throughout the state. It is understood that Emporia, the Normal. Agricultural, Fairmount and Ht Marys will all refuse to abide by this rule, and threaten to withdraw from the conference altogether unless it Is rescinded. Kansas university will tilav under the rule in all its Chicago conference games, and Washburn will do the same. The K. u.-wasnourn game will undoubtedly be played un der this rule. The object of the rule is to prevent "running in football players from out Bide who merely stay through the football season and then drop out. It is a mighty good rule, and ought to be strictly enforced. It will do more for purity of athletics than all the other rules so far adopted, for it hits right at the weak spot in college athletics. The result of the new rule in Kan sas will probably be that all games ex cept between teams playing under Chi cago conference rules will be played without retard to the new rule. Lindsborg Is Out of It, Washburn has received a letter from the president of Lindsborg college stat ing that that institution will have no It is said, to a rule adopted by the church conference prohibiting match games of football. The withdrawal of Lindsborg from the football arena takes one of the strongest teams in the state out of business. Lindsborg has had a won derful team under the leadership of Bennie Owen. Owen will coach the University of Oklahoma this year, and it Is likely that he will steer most of his old Lindsborg players down there. Okla homa is not bothered by any confer ence rules, and the indications are that it will have about the strongest bunch cf football veterans in the west. Owen always has a good team, but his meth ods for getting it are not above criti cism. Washburn's Thanksgivincr day game this year may be played at Colorado Springs with Colorado college. Wheth er the game is played in Colorado Springs or in Topeka depends some what on what games are scheduled for Denver on Thanksgiving dav. If Den ver has a big game, the Colorado col lege bunch may be brought to Topeka. Financial considerations have to be the dominant factor in this game, owing to the large expense of the trip. Washburn has a very heavy schedule this year. Its big games are with K. U.. Oklahoma. Haskell and Colorado college. The following is the schedule: At Topeka. September 23 Topeka High school.

THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1905. 10 f MILLS' STORE NEWS CARPETS, RUGS AND LACE CURTAINS. The news today is -of the New Fall Patterns in Carpets, Bugs and Lace Curtains, and also tells of im provements that we have lately made on the third floor in order to display them. Even to us, who look at new designs "with the cold eye of the critic, the display seems more beautiful than ever before. From the magnificent Royal Wilton down to old-fashioned rag carpets, including Axminsters, Wilton Velvets, Standard Velvets, Body Brussels, three grades of Tapestry and Ingrains, the new pat terns some of them confined to this store in Topeka, the full line of new patterns is now complete. THE NEW RUGS, have all the charm of the new carpets with the addi tional convenience of being easily cleaned or removed. In these we have Smyrnas Axminsters, Velvets, Body Brussels and Tapestry, also Art Squares, in hundreds of patterns and in almost any size required. Notwith standing the shaip advance in carpet wools ,we are able to place before you our new stock of these goods at the same prices as the last season. THE NEW LACE CURTAINS. Our showing of Lace Curtains wTas never so large, nor was the assortment as varied as at the present time. Beautiful patterns in the dainty Brussels, which, are always in good style. In Irish Point we have all the new effects in White, Ivory, Beige, Ecru, and the new Champagne tint. Among them you wall find some very choice designs with hand-worked motifs. We are also showing a choice assortment of styles in Cluny, Marie Antoinette, Arabian and Nottingham Curtains. THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE THIRD FLOOR. In order to give more space -and light for the dis play of our better qualities of Carpets, the work'rdom (that occupied the North section of the Carpet depart ment )has been moved over into the Da vies building and the partition taken down that separated it from the salesroom. This floods that entire side with light and gives additional floor space for matching up any pattern you like. We believe you will appreciate this change when you come to look at our Fall selections of Carpets. A SPECIAL IN RUGS. Seventy-five wool Smyrna Rvigs, two and a half feet wide and five feet long one dollar and a half each. U STORE AND WINDOW SHADES MADE AND HUNG.

A sale of action as well as name. A sale in which you save money, and therein lies oneof its best attractions. Rem nants are bad for business, but. the method has not as yet been devised to entirely eliminate them. There's just one way to sell .them that's to cut the prices. That's what we've done. Goods that are worth as much to you as they ever were worth less to us because the public demands that stores keep complete assortments. It is good business for this store to lose money sometimes to get these remnants out of stock. Tomorrow will be a great remnant day for you because it will be the first in two weeks. Study the special bargain lots. Si Dancing Masters Bewail Disappearance oi trie waitz. New York, Sept. 7. Waltzing is be coming a lost art,- according to dele gates attending the' twenty-eighth an nual convention here of the American Society of the Professors of. Dancing., The professors are for that reason doing all they can to check the insidious two step. "The whole trouble." said a" delegate from Terre Haute, Ind is that dancing is looked upon merely as a social time killer, when, as a matter of fact, it is a means of developing grace, of promot ing physical culture and teaching the best manners. We dancing mastersmust stand together to prevent the waltz from degenerating, for it is not what it was ten years ago, just because .Ameri cans have grown so careless about it. They two-step through everything, no matter whether it is a waltz, a. schot tische or a polka." One of the features of the demonstra tion before the convention yesterday was the dancing of "The Spirit of the Times," a fancy half-march, half-dance movement. It is adapted for exhibition drills of children and the movements are planned in the form of a five-pointed star. The convention will be in ses sion today and tomorrow. Spanish War Veterans Meet. Milwaukee, Sept. 7.
