J EVERYBODY 10 PAGES READS IT. LAST EDITION. KING WAS THERE. England's Ruler Declares Olym pic Games Opened. The Day Was Stormy But Yast Crowds Turned Out. AMERICANS CHEEKED. Athletes With Australia Lead ing Paraded In Procession. United Kingdom Had 513 Men, America Fifth With 148. London, July 13. The American teams of athletes are well satisfied with the results obtained by them on the flrst day of the fifth revival of the Olympic games, which opened at the tadlum here, having got two men, J. P. Sullivan and Melvln Sheppard, both f the Irish-American A. C, into the llnal heat, which will be run tomorrow, of the 1.500 entries. They were unfor tunate,' however, in the first race when two of the- best men at the distance had to run against each other and these lame conditions prevailed in the sec ond heat when J. P. Halstead of New York A. C. was beaten by his team partner, Melvin W. Sheppard, by half a yard. The Americans point out the injus tice by the English drawing of heats as shown by the fact that Halstead, al though he ran much faster than the winners of the other heats, is elimina ted from the final as he finished sec ond. London. July 13. When London awoke this morning it seemed as though the English climate, that was so kind to the sports heia earlier In the year, was trying to show the 2,000 athletes assembled nere for the Olympic games how disagreeable It could be. Temporary shelters, how ever, were quickly erected to minimize the effect of the storm and at the time previously fixed the in auguration of the-Olympic games was carried out according to programme. Shortly after 3 o'clock in the after noon the royal box. which had been litted up for the accommodation of 40 persons, began to fill up, the early arrivals including the crown prince and the princess of Sweden and their children, the crown prince and princess of Greece, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and the- Duke and Duchess of Argyl. A short time afterwards the playing- of the na tional anthem by a band of -the Grenadier guards, 'announced the ar rival of King Edward, Queen Alexandra, and Princess Victoria with their suites, who had been driven in state from Buckingham palace. Lord Dosborough, chairman of the counsel of the Imperial association, welcomed their majrsties at the entrance to the stadium and presentee ine members of the international Olympic council. As the king entered, the royal bugler gave the signal, tne gates lead ing to the competitors quarters fled open and the athletes marched out under the banners of their respective rations. The procession was formed In alphabetical order, Australia lead ing the exception that the English speaking races came last. This latter section was led by the American team with Garrrls of the Chicago Athletic association at its head, carrying the tars and Stripes. The British colonies were dirertly behind the Americans and at the end came the T'nited Kingdom as hosts. As the procession came into the stadium each country received applause, that for America and the colonies being particularly enthusiastic an the audi ence which braved the elements to witness the opening of the great games included large contingents from across the seas. Crowds gathered Inside and outside of the stadium and long before the ar rival of the king and queen the cheaper sections of the stadium were filled with spectators. At the last moment a change was made in order of the events which were to follow the formal opening. The first and second heats of the 1,500 metres run were placed first and both J. D. Lleht body, Chicago Athletic association and J. P. Sullivan. Irish-American Athletic club, were drawn In the first and Mel vln Sheppard. Irish-American Athletic club and J. P. Halsteady. New York Athletic club, in the second heats re spectively and in fact there were two Americans in most of the eight heats or mis event to be run. In the 400 metres swimming event, which Is second on the programme, L. Uudd Goodwin. N. Y. A. C, was drawn in the first; Harry J. Hebner, Illinois A. second; C. AI. Daniels, N. Y. A, C in the third heat. Hill and Vandeys were drawn in the first heat of the 2.000 tandem bicycle event. Before the arrival of King Ed ward, the athletes paraded around the ground. The representatives of the i niteci Kingdom look formidable with their 513 men. The nearest approach to this number was France's 219. Sweden came next with 169 and then Hungary with 154 men. The Americans would have had the next largest army with 148. but Trainer Murphy refused to al low all the men to come up for the cer emony, insisting that they remain at their quarters at Brighton until called upon for more serious work. In all 21 countries were represented and among that gathering Turkey was represented with one competitor. The athletes having taken up posi tion facing the royal box. the Ameri cans in the center flanked by the Canadians and the Englishmen Lorl Desborough marched up with the members of the executives and said: "Will your majesty graciously de clare the Olympic games opened?" In reply the king said: "I declare the Olympic games of London open." At the completion of this ceremony, cheers broke out from all parts of th-3 stadium. After the demonstration had died down, the athletes gave three cheers for his majesty and then march ed past the royal box.. The men made a splendid appearance, though unfor tunately the weather prevented all of the competitors from coming out In athletic costumes. The Americans Stiff MONDAY EVENING. were among those who wore street clothes, but even thus attired, the size of the men evoked favorable comment. Ralph Rose, of the Olympic club of San Francisco, and E. G. Talbot of the Irish-American Athletic club, and the other giants of the team towered over a majority of those whom they are to meet. Only 50 members of the American team were in the parade and this con tingent appeared small besides those teams representing the United King dom and some of the continental coun tries, but nevertheless their reception was enthusiastic as large parties of Americans had reserved sections of the stand and when the team passed cheered them and waved the stars and stripes. The first heat of the 1.500 meters run was won by J. P. Sullivan. Irish-American Athletic club. J. T. Lightbody, Chicago Athletic association, was sec ond. Sullivan's time was 4:07 3-5. Light body ran this event in the Olympic games at St. Louis in 1904 in 4:05 2-5. Meadows of Canada, was third. The second heat of the 1.500 metres was won by Melvin W. Shepperd, Irish- American Athletic club. J. P. Hal stead. New York Athletic club, was second. Sheppard's time in the second heat was 4:05. two-fifths of a second inside the Olympic record. Butterfleld, the former mile cham pion of England, was a poor third in this heat. Sullivan won his heat in the 1.500 me tres run easily, but Sheppard and Hal stead fought out their heat right up to the tase. The first heat of the 400 metres swim ming event was won by Battersby, Uni ted Kingdom: Lastores. Hungary, sec ond: L. Budd Goodwin, N. Y. A. C, third. Time, 5:4S. The scond heat was won by Foster, England, time, 5:04 4-5. The third heat of 1.500 metres run was won by N. F. Hallows, of England. Lunghi of Italy, was second; F. H. Riley of the Irish American A.

Fairview, Lincoln, Xeb., July 13. The heads of the Democratic ticket W. J. Bryan and J. W. Kern met at Fairview today for the first time since their respective nominations for first and second place. "Ah. how's the vice president." said Mr.' Bryan. as the gray hearded In dlanian stepped from the trolley at Bryan station. What Mr; Kern said was lost in the confusion. His handshake war vigor ous and his smile exceedingly cheerful. In quick succession Mr. Bryan greeted U. S. Jackson, chairman of the state central committee of Indiana; Abraham Simmons, who was a dele gate at large from the Hoosier state; John E. Osborne, a member of the Indiana state central committee; Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor: Frank Morrison, secretary of the federation. and James Duncan. Greetings over, the two candidates led the procession up the narrow side walk leading to the Bryan home, while a photographer hopped excited ly in front snapping the photograph of the historic occasion. Rain which had been threatening all forenoon allowed the party to reach the house In safety when thev were halted by newspaper men. Then a light drizzle started and a hurried move was made for the shelter of the Urvnn roof. Mr. Bryan at once ushered the three labor leaders into his library, where he was in close conversation with them for some time. As spokes man of the partv. Mr. Gompers con gratulated Mr. Bryan on his nomina tion and assured him that the labor vote would be counted heavily for him at the November elections. In the course of the conversation the plat form va discussed, but more especial ly the Hank regarding injunctions on lahnr disputes. The visit of the labor leaders was especially nleaslna- to Mr. Bryan who took occasion to express his gratifica tion at their promised support. While the conference was being neld Inside the house, Mr. Kern and his Indiana coleagues. Mark A. Walsh of Clinton. Iowa, and M. O. Gonovan of Davenport, talked over the nolitiral situation in the sun .parlor. The Towcns held out much encouragement ror Democratic success In that state. Later Mrs. Bryan participated in the proceedings, eonsrratulaina- Mr. Kern on his nomination and expressing the wish that he would be victorious In November. Mr. Kern remained for lunch. He will lenve Lincoln tomor row ftrnoon for Indlananolis. where on Wednesday even'n- he will be eiven a rousing reception by his fel low Democrats. HKAVT SHOWER LAST NIGHT. Over Half an Inch of Rain Falls Here. A little shower came up during the night. the precipitation amounting to or an incn and tnlo did for the temperatures Just what the average person would have asked dropped it a number of degrees. At tnat, the day has been several degrees hotter than would have been selected from choice. There were numerous showers over the state during the night: Osage City reporting over two inches; Concordia an Inch and .70; Manhattan .16 of an Inch, and Dresden .88 of an Inch. The day might well have been placed In the threatening class for clouds have obscured the sun much of the time. The following table tells the story since 7 o'clock this morning: 7 o'clock 71111 o'clock .....82 8 o'clock ......72112 o'clock 85 9 o'clock 74 1 o'clock 87 10 o'clock 79 2 o'clock 89 Place for b Sallna Man.

THOUSANDS OF MEN In Iron and Steel Mills Are Again Given Employment. Big Decrease in Number of Idle Freight Cars. New York, July 13. Last week's security market gave a closer reflec tion of the determination arrived at by an excessive number of stock market participants to throw oft the waiting attitude maintained for some time and to act o their conviction that better things were in prospect for business and industry. In con trast with the absolute stagnation into which the market has fallen by the close of the preceding week there sprang up a degree of anima tion not equalled before since the early period of June, the average daily transactions rising well over a half million in shares. There was expansion also In the bond division and a broadening of demand in that department which was most en couraging to sentiment. The assur ance of abundant supplies of bank ing resources throughout the year, the promise of crop yields above the average for recent years, and the termination of the sessions of the Democratic national convention were the main- factors in stimulating the new speculative departure. The spirit of uncertainty and the consequent halt in business activity have become so mucn a matter of course in years of national political campaigns that progress toward elimination of the uncertainties are of recognized beneficial effect. The naming of the candidates of the two great political parties and the de fining of the issues on which' the campaign is to be fougnt were ac cepted as steps toward knowledge on which to base the estimate of the outcome and were acted upon In this light. The polling up of loanable funds In banking reserves and the resulting pressure to find profitable employ ment for these sums have an almost Infallible effect In opening up a de mand for well secured bonds and dividend paying stocks. Reviving Trade. Great Importance was attached to the symptoms of reviving trader The most striking of these were reported from the steel trade where, re sumptions on a large scale of opera tions In the steel mills In the Pitts burg district were chronicled, with re newal of employment for thousands of laborers who had been idle and without pay for several months. Special significance was attached to the large proportion of the new or ders for steel which were received from the agricultural implement makers as indicating well Informed opinion on the prosperous conditions of the farming community and the good promise for the year's crops. Hopes for the crops were fostered by the government report on the grain crops. The satisfactory cotton re port of the previous week completes the data on which the assumption is founded of the continued prosperity of agriculture. Railroad earnings do not yet show Improvement. The American Rail way association, however, has re ported a further decrease of 36.696 in H ilf 'Jm 33331 ira efpwrJ.JEriO0 JsJ s Msii 33333 afr j J3l' b lL2i: .u1'i::jM:: :5S.IS!

New York. July 18.- Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, and several of his personal following have arrived in New York on their return from the Democratic convention. Mr. Murphy says he believes the Demo cratic national ticket has a good chance of tarrying New York state this year. "Everything In this state is harmonious, -he said. "The up state leaders with whom I have talked since leaving for-the West seemed to think that the outlook in their districts Is very bright. I 'am. sure that the states in the middle west can be relied on to vote for Bryan and Kern." Mr. Murphy -would not discuss the handshaking episode at Lincoln, when he was met at the railway station by the Democratic candidate for presi dent. Martin W. .Littleton was quite willing to describe the meeting, how ever. "It was a very cordial greeting," said he, with an expansive smile. "On both sides." ATTACK THE TRAIN. St. Louis Thugs Hurl Missiles at Penn sylvania Democrats. Chicago. July IS.- A dispatch to the Tribune from St. Louis says: The train bearing .he Pennsylvania delegation home from tne Denver con vention was attacked by thugs as it was entering St. Louis. On the side of the special car was a streamer an nouncing that the car contained tne Pennsylvania delegation. The train was running at high speed, when suddenly there was a fusillade of stones,' bricks and bullets. William Schultz, O. E. Maxwell and J: F. Curran of Washington, Pa., seat ed together at one side of the car, were cut by flying "glass, but escaped the stones and bullets. Colonel James M. Guffey was seated In the forward end of the car and escaped Injury. Since leaving Denver, Colonel Guffey has been ill as a result of the heat. At Sedalia. Mo., the train was held while a physician came aboard and attended Mr. Guffey. WATCHED HER DROWN. Two Hundred Men and Boys Stood by When Woman Fell Into River. Chicago, July 13. While two hun dred men and boys sat or. stood within a comparatively few feet of- her, and in sight of nearly 1,000 others, an un identified woman fell, or rolled pur posely, from the north pier at the mouth of the Chicago river and drowned. Although she screamed re peatedly for assistance, not a hand in the crowd that watched her struggle in the water was lifted to save her. Instead one of the gazers stole the woman's purse and hat. wihch she had placed on the pier beside her, and fled. A half hour later the body was taken from the water by Captain Car land and his men from the life saving station. The body was neatly dressed. The woman apparently was 35 years old, 3 feet 4 inches tall, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes and weighed 105 pounds. STARTTXa CP AGAIN. rrJM-11 ill ii I ii I r- TO N AMEA TICKET Prohibitionists Are CcmngTo gether at Columbus, O. For the Purpose of Holding a National Conrention. RELATIVE OF TAFT'S Is a Member of the Delegation From California. Criticises Republican Candidate for Action in Oklahoma. Columbus, O., July 13. Prominent Prohibitionists today declared that there will not be any bitter fight over the endorsement of the anti-saloon league by the national Prohibition convention which opens here on Wed nesday. The sentiment of the men di recting affairs in the party is epitom ized by the national chairman, Charles R. Jones of Chicago, who said today: "No delegate will have the temerity to introduce a resolution endorsing the anti-saloon league. The sentiment of the convention Is against it. There will be no fight on this proposition." Some of the anti-saloon men will bring the question to the attention of the convention and It may come up in the state convention which convenes this afternoon, but the general opinion seems to be that there will be no seri ous contention over the subject. The delegates from the northwest are coming In two special trains from Chicago. New England delegates will start from Boston on a special train. A special train is also coming from New. York. The contest for the nomination for president started today in earnest when many of the delegates began coming in. According to higher offi cials of the party. Sayborn Wright of Georgia must state his position or he will have no show for the nomination, Mr. Wright has an enthusiastic fol lowing, but he has not yet said wheth er he would accept the nomination. Rev. S. H. Taft of Califorina arrived today as a delegate. He said: "I am a relative of Judge William H, Taft, the Republican -nominee for president, ;but I would not vote for him if he were my father. Any man who would advise the people of Okla homa to vote against the prohibition clause in the congtitution.must reform very thoroughly before I could give him my support." Some of the Indiana delegates who want to go outside the party for the nomination advance the somewhat startling proposition; to- nominate Governor Hanley for president. He will.be acceptable to the prohibition ists, although a Republican. Others want to nominate Governor Glenn of North Carolina and others are talking of Congressman Charles E. Llttlefleld, of Maine, who supported the bill -to prohibit the transportation of liquor In interstate commerce under certain conditions. The national committee has in its war chest $30,000 and contributions are coming In very fast especially from the south. The largest vote poll ed by the prohibitionists was In 1892. when their candidate secured a total of 209.469. Chairman Jones estimated today that the vote will pass this high water mark this year because of the marked Increases 'in prohibition territory es pecially in the south. He estimates that the number of people embraced In prohibition territory has grown since the last national election from 20 million to 40 million. Platform makers say today that all issues will wr it r .K V V. WW MONDAY EVENING. be subordinated to the liquor question In the platform. There are 619 delegates to the con vention and It is estimated that the convention will bring from. 4,000 to 5,000 visitors to the city. HURT BY APPLE SCAB. Promising Fruit Crop Being Dam. aged in Kansas. The apple scab, a fungus growth Is causing great damage to the apples in many sections of Kansas. The presence of the scab Is due almost en tirely to the excessive rainfall of the last month as the scab doea not grow much or spread except during very wet weather. The scab forms on tne treea and on the apples themselves. It does not do very much damage to the trees, unless it stops the growth to some ex tent but it does do great damage to the apples. The fungus spores reach the apples through the winds and ma ture very rapidly, forming a small, light brown scab. As the scab grows the apple shrivels up around it and finally drops off the tree before It Is matured. "I do not know yet Just how much damage the scab is doing to the apple orchards." said Walter Well house, secretary of the Kansas Horticultural society. "I know that it has appeared in many orchards all through the state and it must be do ing considerable damage to the apples. This Is especially true in the sections where there was so much wet weather during the last month as the scab, is purely a wet weather product. If the days are warm and there is lots of sunshine during the next few weeks the damage to the apples will be greatly decreased as warm and bright days stop its growth If it does not kill it entirely.. "I have inspected a good many orchards In the northeast part of the state recently and I have found the scab in all of them. In the orchards that have been carefully sprayed the scab is not so prevalent and It is not doing any damage to speak of. In orchards that have not been sprayed the damage Is considerable. The Bordeaux mixture is a sure cure for the scab and if the growers will spray their trees they can Keep the scab from damaging the apples. There is no way of telling what the damage Is or will be yet as the warm weather may drive the scab away entirely within a short time." i'VOMAM IN BLACK." She Is Now Being Sought in the Wil son Poisoning Case. Philadelphia, Pa., July 13 Detectives working on the case of Dr. William H. Wilson, who died more than two weeks ago after drinking poisoned ale sent him by express, are grasping at every plausible clue' that is presented In an endeavor to solve the mystery and find the murderer. One of the latest the ories advanced is that the person who sent the ale to Wilson may have com mitted suicide and bodies taken from srteams hereabout are closely scrut inized. The "woman In black" has also ap peared In the case. Neighbors of the Wilsons have Informed the police that two days before the poisoned ale was de livered at the Wilson home and the day before the doctor drank it. a woman dressed in black appeared at the house and rang, the bell furiously. There was no response as the family was not at home and the woman disappeared. What connection this woman may have with the case, if any, is not disclosed, but the police are looking for her. WILL BE REAL CAMELS. In the Parade of Slirlners at St. Paul Tuesday Night. St., Paul. Minn., July 13.

The party was returning from Bow ling Green, where they had spent yes terday. Reaching Salt river they started across a bridge not knowing that a portion of the structure was recently blown away by a storm.

The stock mar ket has revived this week to. a daily average of upwards of half a million shares compared with the absolute stagnation of last week. The bond market also has sensibly Improved. The demand Is based on great pleni tude of money supplies, symptoms of trade revival and the excellent promise for the country's crops contained In the government's estimates. The ter mination of the Democratic national convention with Its removal of the questions of candidates and platform from the realm of conjecture to that of definite facts was a factor In moving the market from its lethargy.

2U THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTBITAIr-IIOHDAY EVEITOTCr, JULY 13,1903. AND TI1ELAST TOO Topeka Wins Final Game of Joplln Series. Contest An Up and Down One From Start. MOOIIE QUIT EARLY. Knocked Ont of Box in First Inning. Several Star Play Including a Home Bun.. Topeka nosed out Joplln yester day afternoon by a score of 5 to 4 In a same that was characterized by looseness and plenty of hitting on both Ides. Topeka had the edge on the visitors all through the engagement but at times the score became so closa that the- fans were thrown into state of deathless suspense. Twice the Miners tied the score but the locals always managed to- assume the lead again. It took the combined effort of two Topeka twlrlers to win the game. Relby whose record In a Topeka uni form is still perfect was yanked In the fifth. Selby had been pitching good ball up until that time but weakened and a base on ballB coupled with an error, a single and a double allowed the Miners to tie the score. Then it was up to "Rip" Hagerman and the tall one held the visitors to three scattered binglea during the rest of the game. Moore started on the rubber for Joplin but did not last the first in ning. Two walks and three singles during his tenure of office netted the locals throe runs a ad he was sent to the bench allowing Slapnicka to take his place. The young Bohemian stopped the onslaught but was touched up for nine safe ones during the remainder of the game. At that he kept his hits well scattered and pitched a nice game. From start to flntsn there was plenty doing in the batting line- to keep up Interest. Joplln had the bases filled in the first Inning but couldn't score. Topeka'a turn netted three runs. With one down Wooley walked, stole second and scored on Neyes overthrow of third. Boles singled and Davis walked, both work ing a double steal. Cooley and Kahl singled in succession and both Boles and Davis tallied. Thus it was until the fourth In ning when the invaders worked one across the plate. Noyes walked and took second on Murray's sacrifice and scored on Slapnicka's Texas leaguer. The Miners succeeded in tieing the score in the fifth inning. After two were out Ragan singled, stole second and Boles fumbled Reed's grounder. Reed stole second and Selby walked Noyes filling the bases. Pearl Murray Is easy for the pitchers but this time was lucky enough to drop one inside the right field foul line for two bases. Ragan and Reed scored. The home talent took the lead In the next round by the scant margin of a single run. Olson doubled and scored when Noyes overthrew Fill man in attempting to stop Olson's seal of third. Joplln again tied the score in the seventh. This time it was Eddie Noyes who turned the trick. Eddie had made a couple of wild throws during the game but he atoned for his sins by putting the ball high over the left eenterfleld fence for a home run. Lucky it was for the locals that there were not a few men on bases. The run that saved the game came In the last of the seventh. Davis singled and went to second on Cooley's single. Kahl laid down one to Ragan but Stevie In his anxiety to catch Davis at third threw the ball away and Red gallopped across tha plate with the winning run. The stellar performance of the game was pulled oft In the fourth In ning. Wanner hit a grass cutter be tween first and second which E. Olson picked up with one hand after a long run. Emory rolled over with the ball and while sitting on the 'ground threw Wanner out at first. Wanner la about the fastest runner on the Jop lln team and Olson was the recipient of prolonged applause for his bril liant work. Reed hit a liner bound for the left field fence which Kahl pulled down with one hand after a high Jump. Two games were to have been played byt President Baker realizing how the Joplin pitchers were being hammered by the Topeka team, caned off one game. The score: TOPEKA. Player AB. R. H. O. A. E. CoM.

Jack Root's masterly pitching in the Saturday game wu entirely too much for the Joplln team and To peka captured tha second game of the series by a score of 6 to 3. The feature of the game was the batting of Boles and Root Root batted .1,000 with two single and a walk to his credit. Boles- secured a single, double and a triple in four trips to the plate and every hit figured prominently tn the run getting. Dumb base running on the part of the locals kept the score much lower than it ordinarily would have been. Shaner pitched for Joplin but did not get away very good.

Show Increase, CUTS IN EXPENSES. Cheaper Operation Swells Net Profits of Road. Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. From the May statement of earn ings of the Chicago A Northwestern road. a filed with the Interstate Com merce commission. It appears that May was a considerably better month than April. In fact, with the single exception of March. It was the best bonth thus far In the current calendar year. At that time, gross earnings In May this year were some J 1.364. -000 behind those of the same month last year. The expenses of the month were so cut down that the loss In net earnings was only about $350,000. The operat ing expenses were 6.2 per cent of gross earnings, as compared with 68.85 per cent last year, most of the savings. It In presumed, coming out of reductions in expenditures for main tenance. For eleven months ended May 31. this road shows a decrease of nearly $5,000,000 In Its gross earnings. This loss has been cut down by more than half In net earnings. Taxes Increased by $70,000. however, so that the to tal decrease In net earnings for the eleven months will amount to about $2,470,000. For hte eleven months the ratio of operating expenses to gross earnings was 66.35 per cent, a little less than the May ratio, but a little higher than for the correspond ing period last year, when the ratio was 63.1 per cent. During the eleven months the road spent for maintenance of way and structure an average of $665,000 a month, and about $580,000 a month for maintenance of equipment. Ex penses connected directly with cost of conducting transportation averaged about $2,000,000 a monin. All these Items were considerably below those of the previous year. In the aggre gate that for maintenance of way and structure was almost $1,000,000 less than In the previous year; that for maintenance of equipment was over $1,500,000 less, and that for conduct ing transportation $1,400,000 less. Estimating earnings for June It would appear that the income of the road for the year applicable to divi dends was about 10.60 per cent on the capital stock, both preferred and common, so that there Is hardly like ly to be any change for the present at least In the established rates of 8 per cent o nthe preferred and 7 per cent on the common. It Is altogether likely that the earn ings of the new fiscal year will be equal to those of taht which has now run Its course. The promise of abundant crops throughout northwest territory was never brighter. SANTA FTC IS SUED. $10,000 Asked for Death of Las Vegas Burlneer. Las Vegas. If. M. July 13. George M.

Republican Candidate a Regular At tendant at I'nitarliin Church. Washington. D. C., July 13. Much discussion has arisen, especially among church members, as to whether Wil- houn, Daniel -Webster and Bulflnch The bell of this church, which was af terwards removed to the new edifice at Fourteenth and L streets, and still summons tardy devotees to prayer, was cast by Paul Revere In 1821, and bears his name. For years it was the only large bell In Washington, and was used to announce weddings, deaths, births and other festivals, to say noth ing of acting as a general fire alarm. Ever since the bell was first placed in position It has Joyously tolled In the election of a president and when. through sickness or assassination, a president has passed away, the tolling or tni9 same ben has announced the passing. Mr. Taft Is one of the most regular attendants of the church, and is a pew renter. Both his father and mother were of the Unitarian faith and his grandfather was one of the pioneers in that religion in Connecticut. At Murray bay, Canada, where for the last 16 years Mr. Taft has spent his three months' vacation, he has been an ardent worker at the union chapel of the Presbyterian and Epis copal churches and is keenly Interest ed in the welfare of the little church.

Reno county corn fields are a mass of waving green these days. In most instances corn is looking well and It is growing very rapidly. Some fields were wet a long time and It was impossible to get into them with cultivators, but they have been worked out pretty well since the wet weather is over. The fields on the high land have been looking good from the beginning of the corn season. To be sure, July and August are the two months upon which the corn far mer has to depend to mature his crop. Upon the weather conditions of those two months depend to a large extent the yield for the field. This is when moisture is needed.' The right amount usually comes but there have been times In the past when the weather has been too dry in those months to make a good crop. There was an unusually large amount of moisture in the. ground in May and June this year but this is not sufficient to carry a corn crop through the fol lowing months when rain ;s needea. Rut thines look all right now. A drive through the country will show this. With half a chance corn will grow in this part of the west. There's no trouble about it at all. Lots of the fields have been "laid by" and the last cultivation is being done in many om- There is a large acreage of corn this year in and around Hutchinson. There always are many corn farmers here but the country looks like It was near ly all corn, since the wheat has been harvested. With occasional rains during this month and next there should be a fine chance for the Kansas corn crop this year. Farmers believe that the season h tuwn the best so far and are hop ing that it will continue so until the fall of the year. If the conditions are fair from this time on central Kansas will raise a bumper crop. MIIS. STKWAKT GUltiTV. A First Degree of Murder Returned in the Ottawa Case. Ottawa.

President Roosevelt conferred Sunday afternoon with Secretary of State Elihu Root and Assistant and Acting Secretary of State Robert Bacon at the president's home on S&gamore Hill for almost four hours. The exact nature of their deliberations could not be learned. It Is presumed, however, that state affairs of an im portant nature were the subject of their discussion. It is thought likely that the foremost subject was the situation at present existing between the United States and Venezuela. Secretary Root, who completed a course Saturday at Muldoon's farm at White Plains, N. Y., came across Long Island sound in the government yacht, "Sylph," which had been sent over for him. Acting Secre tary Bacon was at his home in West bury, L. L, and came to Sagamore Hill in an automobile; arriving shortly after 1 o'clock. Mr. Bacon, who has been in charge, of affairs at Washington, brought- with him the latest Informa tion of -the state department. The president and the two secretaries con sulted until 2 o'clock, when all sat down to dinner with the president's family. After dinner the conference was re sumed and it last until a quarter to five, when Acting Secretary Bacon de parted in an automobile for his home in Westbury. Secretary Root and the president, ac companied by two of the president's sons, were seen later going towards the beach in Cold Springs harbor, where the president goes bathing. Some of the party carried towels and It is pre sumed that all were bound for a cool ing dip in the bay. Secretary Loeb was not at the con ference, having gone to visit Repre sentative Cocks. The staff of the ex ecutive officers was on duty all after noon awaiting some business from the president. When seen the president's secretary said the business at Sagamore Hill was connected with affairs in the state department. He said that Secre tary Root had been invited by the pres ident to spend Sunday with him. The secretary remained at Sagamore Hill last night as the president's guest. This excessively hot day was not too warm to keep President Roosevelt from attending church. With Mrs. Roosevelt he drove down from Sagamore Hill to Christ Episcopal church in the village and listened to a sermon on the "Math ematics of Life and Character." Fully a hundred boys, who are church at tendants in Astoria, Flushing and Ja maica, and are camping near Oyster Bay, were at the church to see the president, as well as a large number of summer visitors. When the presi dent entered the church he raised his hat to the assembled people and spying a couple of old men whom he had known for many years, said with em phasis to them: "I am glad to see you." Oyster Bay's Democratic leader tele graphed William J. Bryan that he could rely upon President Roosevelt's home town for a majority. The Democratic nominee replied that he was glad to hear of the support of the town where the Republican president lived. A fur rier from the East Side came to Oyster Bay and informed people that he had been commanded to see the president. He failed In his mission, however. Arex.

TO the fact that John Worth Kern, the Democratic vice preslden ItJal candidate, did not see a railroad train between the agea of nve and fif teen years, draw many votes to him? Probably net If President Roosevelt were only twin he would soon be enjoying the extremes of "bully" times. He could follow his desires to accompany Peary to the North Pole, or lta vicinity, and at the same time undertake his pro jected trip to the wilds of Darkest Africa. J The political rhymesters will have quite as much trouble In working; out with Bryan and Kern as they have experienced with Taft and Sherman, poetical license will have to stretched to the limit In weaving these combina tions of names in campaign songs and verses with rhyming words that will mean anything. A great change has come over the big newspapers of London. They are getting able to diagnose American af fairs with some degree of accuracy. This Is made apparent by their im portant conclusion that the approach ing presidential campaign, in his country Is to be an "Interesting" one. How did they ever guess it? There may be plenty of room for an honest division of opinion as to wheth er or not the theaters should be per mitted to remain open on Sunday, but there is not the slightest ground for closing them under a general ordi nance prohibiting labor on Sunday and allowing much more strenuous labor to be indulged in by other activities. Something of a serious handicap confronts Mr. Bryan and the Demo crats at the beginning of the national campaign. It's the present outlook for support from the big newspapers of the country. With the Hearst papers against the Democratic candidates, as they give every evidence of being, there are only two important papers In the country that can now be count ed on as out and out supporters of the Nebraskan. These are the New York Pleats Zeitung, a German paper, and the Boston Globe. If the people living in the Second ward do not desire the construction of a sewer. It's hardly right for the city council to force one on them. To a certain extent they have a right to cave out their own funerals. But on the other hand the construction of this ewer might be an expediency In the Interests of the public health, and in less civilized countries such matters are forced upon the people, and proper ly i so, because it Is judged that they are not capable of deciding for them selves what Is best for their welfare. Mr. Ripley, the distinguished presi dent of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company, declares that it will be Impossible for the railroads to cut the wages of their employes with out bringing on disastrous strikes and that this Is not to be thought of under present conditions. Mr. Ripley is un doubtedly correct in these conclusions. But there are more ways than one of reducing an employe's wages without cutting the per diem scale he is paid under union and other agreements. This can be testified to bv the Santa Fe shopmen and the shopmen as well as other classes of employes of other railroads, who have had their pay re duced to frail figures during the past two or three months by layoffs for longer or shorter periods. Prank H. Hitchcock ought to be able to make a fortune in the dissemina tion of his prescription for a speedy restoration to health. When the Re publican leaders were milling around in Chicago just after their big conven tion for a suitable chairman for the national committee to conduct the aaaanpaign, Mr. Hitchcock, who was Mr. fotft's choice, but who was not looked ejjfcm with favor by others in the party because of the enemies he made at the convention with his "steam roller," an nounced that he could not think of ac cepting the place because of a general jhYslcel breakdown and an exceeding ly poor condition of his health. And now when the Republican leaders be sides Mr. Taft have arrived at the con clusion that Mr. Hitchcock Is the best man for the Job, lo, and behold, he la found to be "Johnny-on-the-spot" and Just bubbling ever with health and strength for the arduous task ahead of him. It's really his duty to tell the people of the earth Just what he took for such a remarkable and speedy recovery. ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTES. For some time past -the newspapers have been recording the doings of the woman suffragists In England. The demonstrations made by them in vari ous parts of London, together with the Insistent demands that their claims be recognized by the govern ment, has created a considerable in terest in their battle among the peo ple of the United States. American women have shown a sympathetic in terest in the doings of their English cousins, but the declaration which was made by one of those who ap peared In the London court that the next time the women would apeak with bombs will undoubtedly have the effect of causing American women to stop and think before they lavish any more praise upon the people engaged In ths movement on the other side of the water. It is not probable that the great body of English women who desire suffrage are of the same disposition as the woman who made such a wild and anarchistic utterance. If women are seeking the privilege of the ballot, they must not resort to such practices, which are relics of barbarism. Agita tion should be their weapon and when they have convinced their male constituency of the validity of their claims they will probably be given Just treatment The way to secure suffrage for women !s by intelligent argument not by the route of the brigand or anarchist A BRIEF FOR THE SWORD. It Is rather comforting to learn that the German ministry of war has decided that hereafter officers engaged in active service shall wear swords. After the South African war rifles were substi tuted for side arms in the German army, but when the struggle between Japan and Russia was concluded mili tary authorities contended that the ex perience of the former proved that the moral value of the sword in distin guishing the officer from the private outweighed the advantage of its ab sence which prevented the officer from being singled out bv sharnshonteT-. Hence the return to the old order oil mine" wnere me commanders of the kaiser's land forces are concerned. There is a rebuke in this for the Iconoclasts, that relatively small but aggressively progressive and exceeding ly Influential element, who are bent In the destruction of faith in whatever has long and effectively served Its pur pose and the setting up of new stand ards, pioneers in the field of discovery who are constantly bringing down about our ears cherished traditions and theories that have stood the test of time and insisting that we shall experi ment as they may dictate. Already they have shorn conflict of much of Its pomp and splendor and former glory, and they will be doing away with it altogether unless a restraining hand Is laid on them. A few years ago they drummed the drums out of the French army. Before that they had stripped the soldier of his gay uniform, his reds and blues and buttons and gilt and gilding, and had sent him forth in sack cloth, in dust-colored garb suggestive of an animated sack of meal. And n-v they are attacking the sword, so long the symbol of vengeance and the In spiration of martial youth, on the ground that it betrays Its wearer. Of course it does, and it has tripped him and sent him headlong more than once. It distinguishes him from the rank and file, marks him as a man to be admired and feared, whether he Is hurling himself against the fo or descending from the lodge room to lead the procession. Just what has been the moral value of the sword flashing In the clenched fist of a bronze Justice or swinging from the belted waist of a portly hero, no sage can tell. Of im measurable value, for a guess. In any event, its passing- should never be wit nessed. It may enable the sharpshoot ers to pick off the officers. But if the sharpshooters are wise they will con fine their attention to privates. The pri vates do most of the fighting. COMMANDER PEARY. Preparation for his recent voyage has been a trying experience for Com mander Peary. Public faith In the pos sibility of discovering the North Pole has waned of late, especially since the intrepid explorer failed in his latest attempt, and people have hesitated to devote money to the enterprise. It has only been by the hardest work and through many disappointments that he has succeeded In equipping his little expedition. Indeed, almost to the day of sailing it was doubtful whether he would not be compelled to delay de parture yet another year and a year's delay means much to Peary at his time of life. Fortunately all but a small sum of the money needed was obtain ed somehow, and the good ship Roose velt, thoroughly overhauled and am ply provisioned, has steamed for the frozen north. The final chapter of Peary's life-long endeavor to reach the North Pole Is now being written. One is hardly Justified In hoping that he will reach the long-sought goal. It is safe to say, however, that if with the facilities now at the command of science any man can achieve the tri umph, that man Is Peary. His equip ment is adequate. The Roosevelt, his ship, has been reconstructed with an eye to meeting every emergency that faces a vessel in the frozen silence of the utmost North. She Is provisioned and equipped with all that extensive experience has shown to be necessary for such an undertaking. A crew of picked men, every one of whom has been tried out In the very conditions they are about to enter upon, has charge of her. There Is nothing lack ing: that Intelligence can devise or ex- perlence suggest. No ship has ever pointed North more thoroughly equip ped. so amply provisioned against emergency. This -ship and crew plus- Peary means success, if success Is at' tainable. And Peary is now at his best. His long apprenticeship in the frozen zone has made him master of the art in liv ing there. He knows the ocean cur rents, the head lands, the Ice floes, the people. He has lived among them for years. The theory and practice of Arctic exploration Is an open book to him. By character and training he Is one man for the work now undertaken. and realizing as he does that this is the last opportunity to achieve the ambi tion of his lifetime, it may be expected to be the supreme effort of his career. But the Roosevelt Is only of wood. Peary and his men are but flesh and bone. There are dangers In the silent North that human prevision cannot avert or human strength and skill overcome. By good fortune only can these be surmounted. And it Is the hope of everyone in the land that such may be the fortune of Peary and his men. JOURNAL ENTRIES A man soon gets over his boyhood belief that the good die young. Chandelierlum Is a good name for the Insanity induced by gas bills. The school of experience is distin guished for having no graduates. Instead of returning to dust like hu man beings the rooster evolutes into a duster. It depends altogether on what the farmers consider their live stock to-be worth as to whether or not gunning Is expensive. J AY HAWKER JOTS Clarke Creek Lutheran church Is to have a new large bell weighing 1.000 pounds and which, it Is anticipated, can be heard for miles around. An Atchison man was being abused for keeping dogs and cows in the city limits. He came back with this ques tion: "Have I not Just as good a right to keep bothersome dogs and cows in the city limits as my neighbor's daughter has to play her piano nights when I wish to sleep?". A Concordia Blade reporter was out seeing the sights the other day and discovered three drunks on the streets of that fair burg. He described them as having peaceful and quiet jags and declares that no one but the drunks themselves know where they got the booze. The class in Journalism at the Kansas university ought to be turned loose in Concordia. One of the assessors In the state was worried over the fool returns required in the assessment blanks. He didn't see any sense In enumerating the cats in the county, and he didn't see how he was ever going to give them in bushels. The printer who set the blank explained that It was just a lit tle mistake on his part, that he put In a "c" Instead of an "o," which made "cats" out of "oats." An endless chain of disasters of more or less moment is told of by the Amerlcus Greeting in the following: The raspberry crop Is now ripe, but the chickens are picking them. The hawks are catching the chickens, the nonnla ar shooting the hawks, the city marshal is after the shooters, the public is after the city marshal at all times, and the wet weather is doing the public up generally. The Miltonvale Record tells a story of a freak of lightning that everyone will be willing It should nave tne soie credit for. It follows: Ed Lacy got a close call last Tuesday night. During the thunder storm he was sitting up in bed and watching the clouas Tor signs of a cyclone. He had his win dow ooen and his race pressed ciose against the screen when a flash of lightning came close enougn to mo building to burn Ed's nose and leave him in a semi-conscious condition for a few moments. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. The customs house authorities have decided that open-work hosiery is not lace wearing apparel. The customs house officials are the boys with nerve enough to Inspect things carefully. When a young man's engagement is announced, he Invites a great many friends up to eat dinner with them, after "thy are married." but some how the friends rarely hear of the in vitation again after the marriage. When a man comes in to see you. and sits down, and tilts his hat back on his head and begins, "Now, I'll tell you." he means to remain at least an hour, and have a good long talk; a talk he has been thinking of having with you for some time. A man and women have no sooner reared their own children- than they have to begin over again with their grandchildren. Old age that should be free from cares, has more cares than any other time of life. There are at least fifty women in Atchison who make nursemaids of their mothers. When a man finds out that he can never be a social success as an after dinner speaker; that he can't dance and that his singing is not generally admired, he begins to learn all sorts of tricks at cards. So great Is a woman's admiration for a man who can make cards disappear In the air that the or ator, the dancer and the singer are all envying him before the evening is over. You can't go to parties and attend properly to business.- You can't dance until midnight, and then come down town next morning to your work in time to accomplish anything before noon. No man ever made money wnne suffering with a cake headache. If you have an ambition to become a successful business man, you must make up your mind to take your pleasures in the smallest of homeo pathic doses. A girl of 18 or 17 sails along the street as though she owned the earth, and there is a certain something about her indicating that she feels too good for any use, but she will not own more than half of the earth by the time she is twenty-three, and none of It by the time she Is 30. No girl should imagine that she will always retain the brightness and vivacity of 16. There never was a girl of 16 who was not good looking, and more or less saucy. In the height of their popularity they should conduct them selves in such a way that when they are older, and need friends they will have them. KANSAS, comment DIFFERENT OPINIONS. In the current Collier's three men William Allen White, Samuel E. Moffett and Arthur Ruhl write ex tensively regarding the late Chicago convention. Mr. White, who is a friend of the administration, natural ly lauds Taft the administration can didate, stating that onry as Roose velt represents the beliefs, policies and interests of the people has he any, power. He finds fault with the vice presidential candidate, Mr. Sher man, who la of the machine, and far from the people. But the people had regarded" the vice presidency as a thing of minor importance, and therefore there was no Insistent de mand that a certain man should be given the berth. The platform adopted Mr. White also finds quite commendable. It is far superior, he says, to the one upon which Roosevelt made the race four years ago. Samuel E. Moffett is more pessi mistic Granting that Taft is quite a fellow, he seriously questions whether he could have been nominated by the people, had the people been given a vote. As to Sherman, he is certain he could have commanaed a nominat ing majority In a single state. And the platform he finds weak and com promising. Particularly Is the tariff plank of worthless timber. As finally adopted it contains no word to which the stanchest stand-patter could not heartily subscribe. Indeed, he says, the party might live up to Its plat form, and raise the already exor bitant schedules of the Dingley bill. Concluding, Mr- Moffett reads the doom of the national political con vention. It has become too perfect, he says; too much like a well-oiled machine In the control of one man. He sees a possible substitute in a sort of primary. "Why," he asks, "may we not find such a substitute In a plan of double elections, requiring an absolute majority for a choice, opening the first election to all comers, and confining the voters to the highest two candidates In the second?" Mr. Ruhl'B contribution is perhaps of less interest being largely a kick on the speech-making, something anyone might do, although perhaps less entertaining. All are agreed on one point, that Roosevelt named the man, and how easily Roosevelt might have named himself. Also, the three realize that Bryan loomed large In that Republican convention; in deed, next to Roosevelt he probably wellded the widest influence. Atchi son Globe. NOT A PASSING WAVE. The mayor of Coffeyvllle has been ousted from office and the city of Cof feyvllle has been enjoined by the su preme court of Kansas, and all because of the liquor business. The city of Coffeyvllle, according to the decision of the court, knew the prohibitory law was being violated and accepted money from the violators of the law, and the mayor knew the city was accepting money from the jolntlsts. The city of Wichita also has been enjoined from accepting money from the joints and the city's defense against the complaint of the attorney general was denounced by the court There have been similar cases In the Kansas supreme court within the last few years and the news value of such cases has been considerably decreased. We have had se gnany "lessons" that we have begun tot fcire of them. But in this case there Is a new feature which win be impressed at least on the minds of some persons. When the dry wave of two or three years ago struck Kansas the wets and many others prophesied that it would be of short duration and that before long former conditions would prevail. Men who had successfully evaded pun ishment for continued violation of the law had grown so strong that they did not believe they could be brought to pay the penalty the law provided for their offenses. But they soon learn ed they were mistaken. Even after this many of them told their friends to wait until another ad ministration was to be elected, when it was promised that the old times would return, but In this case they were also doomed to disappointment. The times did not change save to grow dryer. The laws grew to be still more rigidly enforced. And it now seems that the fellows who are not In accord with the pro hibitory law might as well realize now that the prohibitory law is to be en forced. Conditions may revert to their former state, but it will be years before such is the case. The men who oppose its enforcement must not hope to some time continue Its violation. They must knock out the law if they are to do anything, and it goes without saying that the man who contracts to do this should allow himself plenty of time. Salina Journal. FROM OTHER PENS BRITISH COMBINES. British papers bring rumors of im portant railway and industrial combi nations. Three principal railway com panies the Great Northern, the Great Central and the Great Eastern an nounce their intention, provided par liament consents, of working together on a common basis, eliminating waste ful competition and promoting econo my. Another sign of the "merger ten dency is the proposed and "almost com pleted" combine to the steel trade. which regulate selling prices not oniy in the United Kingdom, but also as re gards foreign orders. In the labor world a most important movement Is the affiliation of the Min ers' Federation to the labor group. The federation decided to take this step by a majority of 44.843 out of a total mem bership of nearly half a million. Tne great labor combination is looked on as a reply to the big capitalists who are Joining forces and working for their own protection. The free trade papers profess not to be alarmed over the steel combine "so long as the ports are open," but the tariff reformers would put on duties that would stop "dumping" and so give protection to British trusts. This Is all a leaf out of the American book. It would be a strongly interesting phase of British trade history If free trade gave place to protection and all the familiar apparatus of protected monop olies. Mexican Herald. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. The" best rule about bringing up your children is not to have any. Half the time the reason a girl wants to marry -a man is he doesn't want her to. Anyway, a woman does as well at obeying her husband as he does at cherishing her. There never was a' thin woman who would admit that she was that way all over. You don't find any widows willing to believe that lightning will never strike twice In the same place. A MARVELOUS STORY. I've heard of some wonderful things in my time. And I've heard of some wonderful men! I've read of remarkable persons in rhyme And no doubt shall read of them again. I have heard Of the bird That was known as ths roo t That would lay Every day Eggs that covered a block. But the marvel I tell is not one that re quires To be heard with the blind faith of fools. Yet I knew of a plumber who Bever de- aires To go back to tba shop for some tools. I've read of mirages that hang o'er the sand That la spread over Africa's face. That towers and minarets swing close at hand And beholders can pick out each place; I've been told Of the gold That the Aztecs have hid. And of the wealth Placed by stealth In the big pyramid. But the marvelous man that I greatly admire Is a plumber who laughs at the rules And declares that he hasn't the slightest desire To go back to the shop for his tools. rve read of airships that skim through the aky. And of submarine boats that can dive, I have heard of great Jewels that no one can buy Kicked round in a wild heathen hive; I'm informed Bees have swarmed In a snowstorm in Wales, And that mica Once or twice Have tied knots In their talis. I have heard of tame cats that sang sweetly in choirs. And of chickens that paddled In pools. But I know of a plumber who never de sires To go back to the shop for his tools. Many wonderful things have come into my ken. But this plumber Is chief of them all; He's entitled to rank with the world's greatest men In the riches that are In fame's hall; You may think That I wink As I tell this to you. But each word That you've heard Is remarkably true It is something. I know, that should set up a fire Of amazement In all of our schools, For I know of a plumber who doesn't de sire To go back to the shop for his tools. Chicago Post Oranges as Medicine. People are coming round more and more to the true opinion that mineral drugs don't aid, but rather retard re covery In case of sickness, and that the only true medicine Is to be found In those that nature supplies so freely air, water, and food. Foremost In value as medicinal foods are fresh fruits, and none of these rank higher than oranges. Oranges are very rich in organic salts. They contain a high amount of po tassium, calcium, and sulphur, sur passing both cow's and human milk in this respect No other fruit has such a high percentage of sulphur. Orange juice contains on an average 114 per mllle acid, which accounts for the high amount of potash and lime which are necessary for the formation of natural fruit acids. Pure orange Juice Is an Ideal remedy for scrofula, rickets, nervousness, and especially blood diseases (principally scurvy). It is most valuable for the reduction of uric acid and other waste matter In the system, and therefore both a pre ventive and -.curative food for rheu matism and gout Consumptive and anemic people will also be greatly benefited by a diet of oranges on ac count of the high percentage of blood building salts they contain. Lemons have the largest amount of r&agneslum lime of all the fruits. They show the greatest acidity 73 per mille. Their Juice is excellent for the preparation of both fruit and vegetable salads and should altogeth er replace vinegar, which is worse than alcohol, by depriving the blood of its important organic salts. Its medicinal qualities are highly appre ciated in the cure of uric acid dis eases. Des Moines Register and Leader. Frightened by X-Ray Machine. Milija Aboyomich, a Roumanian. had the fright of his life yesterday, and that his hair did not turn gray is probably because nothing but age can change its color. Milija, who is a ro bust specimen of hfs type, is blessed with a good appetite, and yesterday morning in his home he plunged so ravenously into a steak that he swal lowed several large pieces, bone and all. Soon he began to strangle, and he was hurried to the City hospital. With great difficulty Dr. A. W. Foertmeyer, the receiving physician, succeeded In dislodging two chunks of steak, but the bone had gone so far down Into the oesophagus as to be out of reach. Milija was, therefore, speeded to the X-ray room, where his real ordeal began. The sight of the black-draped apartment, with its weird-looking ma chines, cent the chills down the untu tored Roumanian's back. When the window shades were pulled down and the buzzing machine began to glow with its fantastic lights, Milija thought he was In the devil's kitchen, and he fairly yelled with fright. All efforts to pacify nim were in vain, and the physicians had to give up their task, because they feared he would break the machine in his efforts to escape. When he again reached the receiving ward ne aartea out or tne door like a streak of greased lightning. Cincinnati Enquirer. Felt Like Giant's Whip Snap. James Gillies, who received a shock of 13,000 volts of electricity at the River street powerhouse of the public service corporation yesterday, was sufficiently recovered today to relate his sensa tions. The current passed down through his body, the circuit being completed at his left foot on which he was poised at the moment on a raised platform. "The last thing I remember," said Gillies, "was when I put out my left hand to steady myself and touched the heavy service wire. The sensation was as though some giant had used me for the snapper of a whip. Every muscle in my body seemed to give a violent jerk and every bone in my body seem ed to crack."

While walking In the suburban dis tricts today with a male friend, Miss Nettie Williams, of Pittsburg, was the object of an unusual attack. She wore a hat with a bird of brilliant plumage as an ornament Suddenly her head became encircled by half a dozen blackbirds, which pecked at the bird in her. hat tearing out the bright colored feathers with their beaks. The blackbirds even flew in her face and lacerated the skin wjth their bills. Tearing the hat from her head. Miss Williams threw it on the ground. Her escort was obliged to use his coat to beat the birds oft. Altoona dispatch te Philadelphia Record. THE EVENING STORY Saving Jlmmle. (By Lulu Johnson.) "Paste her on the trade mark. Skin ny." uged the captain of the team, and Skinny, otherwise Master James Tread gear, being ever mindful of advice, "pasted" the sphere with such good ef fect that the ball sailed over the atone wall at the far end of the lot. This changed Jubilation into regret, for not even three scores brought in by the home run offset the fact that "Skinny" had knocked a fifty-cent ball over the wall into the colonel's gar den. Billy Snlffen, who had been cajoled into loaning his new ball to the "big fellows," some -of whom were all of twelve years of age, let out a roar at the sudden disappearance of his prop erty. Balls that went over the high stone barrier which surrounded the property of the peppery CoL Moulton were re garded as good as lost None of the boys dared brave the wrath of the re tired officer In search of lost property. CoL Moulton would have been re garded as an ogre by medieval youth, for he stormed and raved at children. The smaller lads firmly believed that he liked to kill children and when dusk had fallen they hurried past his house lest he spring out and seize them. Now at the disappearance of the ball the outfielders followed the base run ners up to the home plate and joined in the volley ef reproach directed toward the unfortunate Skinny. "You told me to paste her," he re minded the scowling captain. "I didn't tell you to knock her over the wall," was the scornful retort. "Poor Billy's ma'll lick him when he goes, home without that ball." This was an angle from which the unfortunate William had not hitherto viewed his loss, and it caused his grief to double. "You better skip over the fence and get it," decreed the captain, and the gang shuddered. Like "enot the captain """'d no- be induced to alto- his command, and though he weakened perceptibly as they drew near the fatal wall, he af fected nonchalance he did not feel, and bending over he formed his hands Into a stirrup In which the trembling Skinny placed his foot. With a heave the boy shot up until his fingers grasped the wall, but he could not hold, and came tumbling back, carrying the captain to the ground with him. "I can't do It" pleaded Skinny, but the captain waa adamant "You gotter." he insisted, made heartless by a skinned elbow. "Get up there or we'll thrown you over." The threat had its due effect Skin ny clung -shivering to the top of the wall for a moment, then he tumbled over on the other side, and In a mo ment the air was pierced by shrieks of agony so shrill and terrified that the gang fled incontinently toward the street, with the doughty captain well in the lead As they reached the sidewalk and turned to reconnoiter, Skinny's sister Lucy came down the street and paused to regard the boys inquiringly. "Where Is Jlmmle?" she demanded of the captain. Th cantaln hung his head. "That's him," he confessed with a jerk of his thumb In the direction of the spot whence Jimmle's screams still proceeded. "We boosted Jlmmle over the wall to get a ball he lost, and I guess tne coi ntiAl'i killina- him." The entrance to the stone-encircled park of the Moulton place was on the other street, and with the gang trail ing after her Lucy ran toward the gate. The boys were there before her. but made way that she might approach the dreaded portal. Jivery one or ner at tendants admired the courage and de termination with which she pressed the button of the electric bell. Her finger was still on the porcelain irnnh when the gate was thrown open. and a young man, hatless and without his coat, appeared in tne aperture. x started back as he perceived the ex cited group. "Has any one gone for a doctor?" he ""Is a physician needed?" asked Lucy, with sinking heart It was worse than she had feared. The savage old col onel must have carried his punUhment for trespass to an excess that had re sulted In serious injury. "Some of you boys run for a doctor, quick," commanded the young man sharply. "The little fellow has a bro ken leg." The entire gang raced up the street after the physician, and Lucy was left alone with the stranger. "May I come in?" she demanded coldly. "It is my brother whom you have injured." "You will be most welcome," was the courteous reply. "My father's household does not include any women and I was somewhat at a loss to make him comfortable. I am Lieut Paul Moulton." he added by way of introduction. "My father is Col. Moulton. and I am visiting him on leave." "I am Lucy Treadgear," an nounced Lucy In response. "It Is my brother, James, whom you have In jured." Moulton stepped aside to permit her to enter, and, aner closing the gate, he led the way mto the house, where Jlmmle lay on a sofa in the library with the whlte-haired old sol dier leaning over him and trying to soothe his fear. "He seems to be more frightened than hurt." explained the colonel as he gave place to Lucy, "and a broken leg Is no Joke at that" "No wonder," was the indignant re sponse, "when it is known that you have shot at several boys. It Is for tunate that you did no more than break his leg fortunate for you, I mean." she added In expianaton. "Bless your pretty face, I had noth ing to do with It" declared the colonel. "As for the shooting, a few blank cartridges and my consequent bad reputation have been the salva tion of my fruit trees. This little fel low will tell you himself that neither Paul nor I was In the garden when he fell and broke his leg." Lucy looked Inquiringly at Jlmmle, who nodded. "The boys pushed me up too fast" he expla,ne1- "I right on over. And I didn't get the ball," he added Inconsequentially, "and Billy's ma'll lick him for losing it, and Don Fraser said he'd lick me if I didn't get it." "I'll find it," volunteered the lieu tenant and he slipped out leaving Lucy with the colonel. "My bark is worse than my bite," explained the old colonel with redden ing face. "I had to do something to keep the boys from overrunning my garden, but I did not suppose that the grownups would take my threats ser iously. I shall have to make Paul my deputy to clear my reputation." The arrival of the physician inter rupted the conversation and presently the colonel himself tenderly carried he bov to the weltina- carriage and in sisted that Paul rid on tne box. with. the driver In case he might be needed. It was perhaps only natural that Paul should call frequently to ask after the invalid, and that he should select Lucy as his first proselyte in his missionary work in behalf of his father. "Forty years in a garrison would ruin the temper of any man," he de clared, "and you can not very well blame dad for wanting to be let alone when he had the chance. He loves gardening and the boys were wreck ing the ground. He simply had to scare them off." "He was very effective In his meth ods," agreed Lucy. "Almost too much so. For a moment I supposed that he really had broken Jimmle's leg. "I wish that I could make you real ize what a splendid father he is," said Paul with enthusiasm. "I do not remember my father very well." said Lucy remlnlscently. "He died Just after Jlmmle was born. I was only eight. "Let me share mine with you," offered Paul generously. "Will jrou, dear?" From a coign of vantage on the far side of the street the gang watched the wedding procession emerge from the church, and bet up a Bhout as Jimmie, resplendent in white satin coat and knickerbockers, preceded the happy couple as their page. "Jimmie looks like a stick of candy," declared the captain con temptuously, "but he's got an all right sister. There ain't many girls that would marry a man just to save their little brother from a man like Colonel Moulton. He was Just goln' to kill Jimmie when she rushed in and said if he would spare Jimmle's life she would marry the lieutenant" The gang looked with awe upon the brave bride, and Lucy, radiant in her new happiness, never realised that they were cheering her with such en thusiasm because she had sacrificed herself to fate to save her little brother.

Turn flattery wrong side out and you have slander. Pay as you go, but try to save enough to get back on. Somehow, the majority of our good habits never get found out Boasting of their strong points is a weakness with some people. Ever notice how narrow minded most people are who argue with you? It's easier for a woman to talk on any subject than it is for her to stop. A confidence man naturally has no confidence in any man but himself. Our Idea of a romantic girl is one who sends out invitations to her elopement Some people think they are In the manufacturing line because they make promisee. One may get along without doctors, lawyers and preachers, but the grocerymen is indispensable. The average married man has about as much to do with managing his home as a mouse has with managing the family cat When a girl tries to dodge a kiss she always manages to do it In a way that enables her to catch it square on her lips. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. High ideals are often as Imprac ticable as airships. Many a man who Is too proud to beg Isn't too honest to steal. A man of good judgment is sim ply one who agrees with us. Exaggeration Is a feminine falling, except in the matter of age. Some men tell the truth because they lack sufficient originality to be liars. "Peace hath her victories, which is, perhaps, why some men prefer not to marry. The boy who hates to wash his face longs to be a man and wear whiskers. Happiness is the sunshine of life, and we should put some of it by for a rainy day.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL HO ITD AY EVEimTQ, JULY 13, 1908. Mr. Republican Voter I am a candidate for the nomination of Probate Judge at the Primary, August 4th. Your vote is solicited. I in vite investigation as to my integrity, qualifications and claims for your support. In quire of my neighbors ask the judges and ex-judges of our courts the lawyers, and also the jurors who have served from time to time. Twenty-five years' experi ence in the practice of law in Kansas, thirty years a resi dent of the state, thirteen years a resident of Shawnee county. SHORT OMOTES, Sunday Opening Adrocates Hare Little Chance. Can Not Master Enough Support to Win. EXPECT LIVELY TIME. Bath Sides Will Be Represented at Tonight's Meeting. Little Likelihood for Repeal of Dog Ordinance. Unless the Sunday theater support ers can muster more votes among the council this evening than they could this morning: their efforts to repeal the ordinance making it unlawful to keep the playhouses open on Sunday will be' fruitless. This Is the way the council stood at 12 o'clock today: For a" repeal: Councilmen Horn, Lannan, Miller, Fraser and Hughes. Against a repeaJ: Councilmen Jordan Van Ness, Howard, Blakely, Stanley, Kutz and Tandy. All three of the Democratic members of the council are lined up back of the movement to ask tor a repeal on the grounds that the enforcement of the law Is a discrimination against the theater as long as street cars, livery stables, drug stores, confectionery and cigar stands are permitted to operate unhindered. .The same opinion is shared by their two Republican col leagues. "Its my opinion that the council has tackled a larger proposi tion than it had any Idea of when it started in on this," said Councilman Hughes. This la the way the ordinance at present stands: "Every person who shall either la bor himself or compel his apprentice, servant or any other person in his charge or control to labor or perform any work other than the household of fices of daily necessity, or other, works of necessity or charity, on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor and on conviction thereof fin ed in any sum not less than $2 nor more than $25 for each offense: Pro- FREE $5 Fancy Vest with Every SUITo OR 'COAT Ordered This Week The same excellent ser vice and same excellent fit aa you get at your regular tailors for $25.00.

Five hundred and thirty-five voters (the limit permit ted by law being five hundred and forty only) from forty three precincts, have signed my petitions. Every Re publican is now invited to vote for me. I pledge myself, if nominated and elected, to an honest, fair and impartial administration of the law pertaining to the duties of this office. REMEMBER, if a resident of the city you must register before July 24 in order to vote at the primary. Do it now. Respectfully yours, W. F. SCHOCH. vlded. This section shall not extend to any person who is a member of any religious society by whom any other than the first day of the week is ob served as the Sabbath so that he ob serves such Sabbath." "If the council repeals this ordin ance the state law still remains In force and effect," the city attorney said. "It simply shifts the responsibil ity upon the shoulders of the county attorney. The city ordinance is a di rect copy word for word of the state law and those who want to prosecute under the state law can still go ahead by applying to the county attorney. I don't see that there is much to be gained." "The only thing that the supreme court decided when it handed down its opinion on the constitutionality of the ordinance," said V. C. Ralston, assis tant city attorney, "was labor as ap plied to the running of theaters. The other questions as to whether operat ing street cars on Sunday, confection ery stores, drug stores was labor or an act of public necessity was not touch ed upon by the decision. It would be necessary to bring this question into the courts on separate suits." It will take a majority vote of the council to repeal the city ordinance this means that at least seven votes must be secured and two more than how exist. Jt is scarcely probable that these two' .necessary votes will be forthcoming on the round up. Both sides will be represented By large sized delegations in the hope that their presence will influence the council to vote favorably to their po sition. The Ministerial union has tak en an active hand and many of the pastors of the churches of the city urged members of their congregations Sunday to attend the council meeting. "Are they all going to be there?" in quired one councilman laughingly, as he asked about the other eleven. To the man who hunts cover the dog and the theater ordinance both of which come up on a question of repeal are certainly chasers. But no rabbity feeling seems evident for all the councilmen gave out their standing when pinioned in a corner with pencil and paper in hand. Only Sunday baseball is beyond question In the agitation and that Is because the ball park Is without the city limits and the police authority of the city. If the city ordinance Is re pealed and the crusade Is carried on and to the doors of the county attor ney It la possible that Sunday baseball may be doomed also. One thing Is certain if the forces against the re peal win efforts will be made to en force such a strict compliance to the ordinance as to make its existence obnoxious if possible. The theatrical managers have frankly testified to this effort and councilmen have hinted that a resolution will be offered this evening to instruct the mayor to see that strict compliance results. "Rv rifllliflnPA on fhm nart nf the doe owners and the friends of the dogs to back up the councilmen who fought against the 60 day aog oraer me ngni for a repeal seems doomed to defeat.

The opening session of the 16th convention of the Western Federation of Miners today was devoted to the appointment of a committee on credentials and two Short addresses, one by George Halley, president of the Colorado State Fed eration of Labor and the other by W. A. Burns, a member of the Miners' union at Virginia, Nev. Both men de clared that the two organizations should work more In harmony If not together. It is stated by those in authority that the two addresses were but the beginning of an open movement, the ultimate object of which is amalgama tion. It was also said that President Thomas Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America is on his way -to Denver, and will appear before the convention either Wednesday or Thurs day and that an unofficial conference will result with a view of amalgamat ing the coal and metaliferous miners. Already "there Is an interchange of cards. Should such a union be effect ed the negotiation win probably be known as the United Mine Workers of America, the coal miners to comprise the coal department and the Western Federation the metaliferous depart ment. President Moyer will deliver his an nual address after the permanent or ganisation has been effected. The credentials committee Will rec ommend that William D. Haywood, the former- secretary-treasurer, be given a seat in the convention with complete delegate authority, though he Is not a delegate or in office. SHARP SPIKES OS BRIDGE. They Are Cause of a Protest Against City Railway. Spikes driven point up in the plank ing on the street railway bridge on Wagoner street in Auburndale have caused serious injury to several peo ple who have attempted to walk across the bridge in the dark. C. A. Johnston of 113 Exeter street is reported to be very seriously injured, having been hurt wjiile attempting to cross over. A petition asking the council to In vestigate will be presented to the council this evening. An employe of the street railway company, it is stated, drove the spikes in place and though nothing has been stated, the petitioners believe it was done with the intent to keep the people living in that vicinity from walking across. "The bridge is across Martin's creek and it means a saving of four blocks to us. We have never had any trouble with the street railway company and I don't know what this means and that's the reason we are asking the council to take a hand," said one of the petitioners. The request to the council to inter cede is headed by C. A. Johnston and signed by others who live in Auburn dale. HOLD GOEBEIAS MAIL. TOO. Fraud Order Extended to Treasurer of Uncle Sam Oil Company.

THAT FKEE CONCERT. Pipe Organ, Marshall's Band and Modoca to Unite. Merchants' Week Promises to Be a Grand Success. Everything is in readiness for the entertainment of the country merchants of Kansas by the Topeka Jobbers and Merchants' association which begins here day after tomorrow. ..The pro gramme has been planned on ji big scale and the details have all been at tended to by an unusually competent and energetic set of committees. The time for getting up this entertainment was short, but the work was done as thoroughly as though it had been planned three months ago. The executive, reception, park, music, decorations, street car, auto ride and banquet committees have all reported to Chairman Lux of the executive com mittee and but very little remains yet to be done by Wednesday. Reports from the leading firms of the city on replies from invitations sent out indicate that there will be a large crowd of visiting merchants here during the latter part of the week. "At least 10 per cent of our invitations brought fa vorable replies," said W. R. Borman of the Continental Creamery company. and this is better than expected. If all the other firms meet with the same success we should have at least 300 visitors to entertain. I hope that 600 come to our city. We are ready for them and can give them a splendid good time." Topeka will be decorated as gaily Thursday as though Roosevelt was on the programme of speakers. Thursday will be the big day of the week. The visitors will not have an idle moment that day. Marshall's band will greet them early in the morning and then they will be whirled over the city in cars and autos until time for the grand concert at the Auditorium at 11 o'clock. This concert will include Marshall's band and the Modocs and will be open to the sublic A feature of the afternoon will be the fire dTlll arranged by Chief Wil marth. This promises to be one of the best things on the programme in point of interest. The chief will have nine fire companies in procession on Quincy street from Eighth avenue to Fifth street, beginning at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Quincy was chosen In stead of Kaneas avenue as the street is not so crowded and there will be less danger in maktng tne run for the supposed fire. After tne procession has passed in review by Fifth street the hook and ladder and chemical wagons will make a dash for an imaginary fire at anthe audltorlum- Ladders -will be flastrea up the side of the building and the truckmen win mount with their strings' of hose and play streams of water on the build ing In most realistic fashion. After this, special ladder, and hose drills will be given on Quincy street near the auditorium. These will be very interesting as water win be used just as in case of a fire; then the upright ladder will be elevated 0 feet in the air and daring firemen will ascend like sailors going up a mast. After the fire drill the visitors will be taken to Vlnewood and shown through the concessions at this mod ern play ground... Ttiey will only have time for a short rest before the banquet on the roof garden that night. Speaking of that banquet well it will be a topilner and there are features planned in connection that will make Topeka people as well as the visitors sit up and take notice. The Complete Program.

TAXING MINERAL LANDS Question from Osage Considered by Tax Commission. Th nuestion of taxing the mineral reserves in Osage county was the only tax appeal considered by the state tax commission during the morning ses sion. There were twelve of these ap peals filed but after one was heard there was little new evidence to be taken in the other cases. Most or ine morning session was, spent in hearing the Cherokee Pittsburg Coal Mining company case and the other cases from Osage county were taken up as rapidly as possible. There is much undeveloped coal lands in Osage county. The owners of the land object to paying taxes on the minerals under -their property where there has been no development and they do not want the minerals taken into consideration when the assessors fixed the value of the lands. In addi tion to the Cherokee Pittsburg case, which was heard first, the following appeals from Osage county are to be heard today: Myra Edwards and W. T. Noll, Jen nie K. McKlusky, W. W. Miller. T. M. Gill. John T Kaub. Thomas Williams, J M. Truitt. J. H. Stavely, Miller Bros.. S E. Hood, H. B. Miller This afternoon the commission will take up the bank appeals from Wyan dotte county. The Interstate National bank, the Kansas Trust company, the Commercial National bank and the Wyandotte State bank have filed ap peals from the assessments. All of these banks have been paying good dividends and the stock is held at more than par value and no one is offering much stock for sale. The as sessors made their valuations on the actual market value of the stock on the first of March. The banks have appealed on the ground that the valu ations should be based on the par value and not the market value of the stock. The banks themselves pay the taxes on the stock and surplus. The stock holder returns his stock on the assess ment blanks but the bank pays the en tire taxes. It is not likely that any decisions on the appeals will be made until the commission has heard all of the cases and has practically completed the work of equalization of valuations throughout the state. Tomorrow the commission begins hearing the county officials regarding the valuations In the different coun ties. These hearings will take up most of this and next -week. After today the hearing of appeals will be taken up at the same time county cases are heard. BIG HERD AT DALLAS. Convention of Elks Expected to Bring in 25,000 Visitors. Dallas, Tex.f July 13.

A two weeks' engagement will be begun at the Air Dome tonight by the Jack Em erson Stock company, during which a rep ertoire of high plays will be presented. This company has the reputation of being one of the very best organisations of Its kind that Is playing this summer and is said to be far and away ahead of some of the companies which have been seen at the Air Dome recently. Sherman's well known drama. "An American Prince," will be the opening bill. This is a show which has not been seen in Topeka before, but it is well known and popular throughout the east, where it has enjoyed an unusual success. Among the well known players in the Emerson company are Nellie Thomas, Violet LeClear Emerson, Frank Redner, Jack Emerson. Harry Billings and Jo seph Peters. The company Is particularly strong In vaudeville specialties and one of these turns which Is mt on between acts is said to be unusually entertaining. A newspaper In one of the cities where this company was recently seen said that this specialty alone was worth the price of uiminiMi o the whole enow. There will also ba moving pictures and illustrated songs Detweeo-ue acis. D EST thing about a clearing sale of clothes here is the high quality of the goods; clothes made to be sold for $25, $28, $30, Hart Schaffner Marx, Alfred Benjamin Co. finest -goods; now selling $20. You can buy a silk-lined blue serge or blue unfin ished worsted suit here at $20. that's worth, in ser vice and style and intrinsic value, not less than $30.

Dolllver of Iowa has been secured for the first day. The Chautauqua this year gives ev ery promise of being the best ever held here in the excellence of the attrac tions offered and in the Interest ta ken by Topeka people In this great ed ucational movement. The decision to hold the sessions out at Vine wood Park was a wise plan as there Is plen ty of shade and water there to offset the extremely hot weather of the last part of July. The theater building will accommodate about 2,500 people and is located high -and cool on a hill side is a grove. The demand for tickets ha been good and the Interest taken on every hand has been an inspiration to those In charge of the course. The street car company have prom ised a car service to the park sufficient to meet all demands, and have made a rate of 10 cents for the round trip. Chautauqua tickets are good for ad mittance to the park. Miss Viola Troutman, the secretary, has her headquarters in the law office of H. G. Larimer at 114 West Eighth street, and she is the busiest lady In the city this week, working on the de tails of winding up the official pro gram.

No public en terprise is more entitled to the suo- port of the city, and when a pro gramme or sucn excellence as the above Is offered the success of the course may be predicted in advance. RECEIVER IS ASKED. The Topeka Box and Barrel Factory In Trouble. Eight creditors representing claims amounting to about $3,200 filed a pe tition In the United States district court this afternoon asking for the appointment of a receiver for the To-i peka Box and Barrel factory. The creditors petitioning are: T. E- Arm strong with a claim of $448.23; Feurt and Armstrong, $140.07; J. Thomas Lumber company, $331.60; D. O. Coe, $80.20; Hall Stationery company, $6.25; Bank of Topeka, two promis sory notes, $2,057.75; Paxton and Paxton, $73.40; Faulkner and Went worth, $176.25. "It's the fruit of the panic and the flood," said Ralph Gaw, one of the at torneys for the creditors. "The flood destroyed the lumber stored at the sub stations up and down the river and then all of the large lumber compan ies started into manufacture box stuff and on top of this the trust cut the price about one-half. We hope to be able to pay all the creditors off in full." TAKE A DAY OFF. Peddlers to Number of 7,000 Will Join la Parade. New York. July 13.

How many times have you forgotten to order from your grocer that which you most wanted when the order man was at the house, install an Independ ent telephone and order your groceries at leisure, and should you forget an Item you can call him again in a min ute. The question of letting the audi torium next January to the State Poultry association for the state poul try show came up this morning. The building committee of the council is opposed to holding dog shows and chicken shows in the auditorium and stated so, but rather than let the show go to some other city they will probably grant the permit until some more suitable place can be found. John March, Charles Hobart, Sam Stewart and "Boots" Gatlin, four members of the Central Y. M. C. A. accompanied by Harry Heintzman, former secretary of the boys work of the association, left today on a pony hike for Junction City. Start today. Smoke the Big Tromp 5 cent cigar.

THOUGHT HIM TRAMP. Was Afraid He and Companions Would Make Trouble. Frank Carlisle Adjudged Insane in Probate Court. The preliminary trial of Hugh Harries, the night operator at the Santa Fe Junction over in North To peka, was held In city court today and Harries was bound over to district court In the sum of $500. It will be remembered that Harries shot Clarence, .the 14-year-old son of I. W. Parker, 615 Leland street, while the boy was at tne depot on the night of June 27. The bullet from Harries' pistol struck; tne boy In the foot. Inflicting a bad wound. The testimony introduced today by the state was to the effect that the Parker boy In company with a negro boy named Jordan, Gilbert Brennan and another boy were returning from a fishing trip on Soldier creek. They stopped at the junction depot at 10 o'clock that night, and the Parker boy went inside to asu the operator the time Of night. The latter gave a gruff reply and ordered the boy out of the depot. When Parker reached the end of the platform Harries drew his pistol and told him to move faster. The operator fired at this moment and the boy sank to the platform moaning with pain. Toung Parker appeared in court today on a pair of crutches. Thi plea of the defense was that Harries thought the Parker boy and the negro Jordan wero a couple of hoboes and was afraid of them. Har ries, who is only a boy himself, took the stand and testified that Parker and Jordan carried clubs In their hands. He declared that he only fired to frighten the Parker boy away and did not aim to hit him at all. That after the shot was fired he car ried the wounded boy Into the depot and did all he could for him. The depot is situated in a lonely spot, and the boys naa no business hanging about there at that time of night, but at that they were only boys and it is hard to Justify Harries' indiscriminate use of a revolver. It Is a severe lesson to both defendant and prosecuting witness. Frank Carlisle, the Santa Fe shop man who left here a short time ago for the harvest fields in the west part of the state and who became insane while In Abilene and was brought back here ty Sheriff Wilkerson last Saturday was today adjudged insane by the pro bate court and ordered sent to the asy lum. Carlisle refused to talk to the commission and merely answered a few of their questions .with a shake of the head or a brief yes or no. Carlisle's wife was present at the trial. Onetf the worst ordeals a woman is called upon to go through in this world Is to hear her husband adjudged hopelessly insane. The Shawnee county commissioners today received word from the commis sioners of Wabaunsee county that they would arrive here this evening for a consultation with the Shawnee county board regarding bridge matters. While here the Wabaunsee county board will appear before the state tax commis sion In regard to several assessment cases appealed over their decisions. Margaret B. Cutbirth has filed suit for divorce from Robert G. Cutbirth, alleging gross neglect of duty. Her pe tition states that the defendant "spends his nights away from home and his money for liquor." The plaintiff asks for absolute divorce from defendant because of his faults and wrongs above narrated. C. S. Bone was arrested In Kansas City and brought here to face a charge of obtaining money under false pre tenses. Sheriff Wilkerson was the suf ferer, having endorsed the young man's check for $50 while the latter was here about a month ago. The Kansas City bank refused payment on the check and the sheriff was out the $50 arid the young man turned up missing. Last week the sheriff learned that Bone was In Kansas City and he wired the offi cers to arrest and hold the youth.' The sheriff was induced to sign the "young man's check from the fact that he had known the older Bone, a preacher, years ago and had often listened to his sermons. The son has evidently stray ed far from the path his father had followed before him. An Indian boy named Andrew Jack son was arrested by the police as a runaway from HaskeiL institute. The officers from that institution arrived today and tonk the boy back to the school. This Indian youth with the famous name of the old conqueror of the Creeks evidently does not take to the white man's ways. St Louis, Mo.. July 13. Judge Kln sey in the circuit court, handed down a decision that Mrs. Mary Leafgreen was not entitled to a dower interest and widow's allowance in the estate of Laclede J. Howard,, the late fire brick magnate. Judge Kinsey stated orally that the weight of the evidence tended to show that Laclede J. Howard was not the man to .whom Mrs. Leafgreen was married in Decatur, I1L, in 1883, and that he had been aided in making his decision by comparisons of the hand writing on letters. The defense Introduced letters as evidence tending to show that Thomas Jefferson Miller, mayor of Tumwater, Wash., was the man who married Mrs. Leafgreen under the name of Howard. CHURCH WAR III UTAH. Among Members of Two Brandies of Catholic Faith. Salt Lake, Utah, July 13. Pete Gal lech, an Austrian miner, was shot from ambush and probably fatally wounded last night, as he was return ing home from his work at the Frisco mine near Bingham, Utah. Within four days two men have been killed as a result of the religious war between the Roman Catholic; and the adherents of the Greek church, among the Aus trian miners working in the Bingham mines, and a state of terror exists in the settlement of "Austria town," two miles from Bingham, where most of the miners live. A force of deputy sheriffs was hurriedly sent to the scene and Steve Mirs, who shot and killed Mike Popmich Friday, and a number of others have been arrested. IN K. C, HOSPITAL Two Tammany Men Hurt In an Auto Accident. Kansas City, Mo., July 13. Morris Egan and Thomas E. Rush, members of the Tammany delegation, who were injured in an automobile accident here while enroute from the Denver convention to New York were report ed this morning as improved in con dition. Mr. Egan, who at first was thought to have sustained internal in juries is said to be suffering w-ith but a sprained left ankle and a number of painful bruises about the body. Mr. Rush's wrist was fractured. It was said today that neither would be able to leave the hospital for at least a week and there is little proba bility that Mr. Egan will be able to start for his home before two or three weeks. K MR.' REID IS CONFIDENT. Says That He Expects to Be Elected State Printer. Albert T.s, Reid, candidate for the state printer-nomination, says that his prospects look better to him as the primaries come nearer, and that he expects- to be theax- Republican nominee, for that offife, "When I got into this." said Mr. Reid today, "I Jandmy friends were laboring under the declusion that Mr. McNeal would not run again. My friends were assured by Mr. McNeal and his friends that he would not ask for a third term. I-was absent from the city when friends announced me as a candidate, but I still thought that Mr. McNeal was ready to quit. When I discovered that he thought 'two good terms deserved another," I want ed to back out, but, the friends who had started things, refused to listen to anything of the sort. They called my attention to the fact that the present incumbent had not permitted his friendship for me to interfere with his desires in any way, and that he had remained in the race after his assur ance that he would keep out. The Shawnee county central committee gave me its unanimous endorsement, and started my campaign. Now I am In it to show Mr. McNeal that my can didacy is no joke." The McNeal-Reld contest promises to be the principal state office fight in Shawnee countv the home of both Reid and McNeal. The Shawnee county central committee as a body endorsed Reid. Wounded and Hob bed. Washington, July 13. Salvador Y. Agrac, of San Jose, Cal., was seriously wounded and robbed by highwaymen at Puruandoro, state of Huchoacari, Mexico, according to a dispatch re ceived at the state department today from E. A.

As the hulk ing form of the North German-Lloyd steamer Torek drew up alongside ttr ocean quay at Southampton yesterday the figure of an aged, gray-bearded man, clad In a dark ulster. and biack bowler hat, leaned over the deck rails and threw a kiss to a woman some what younger in years, was waved to him from the quayside. This simple, unassuming traveler was Sir Robert Hart, the maker of mod ern China the man whose word has been law in all matters of finance and trade to 400.000,000 subjects of an alien race, for 54 years he has been exiled from his homeland, and only once, for a brief period, during the last quarter of a century has Lady Hart, whom he thus affectionately greeted yesterday, been able to visit him at his residence in Pekin. He has' not visited England since 1879. After a brief conversation with his wife and son. Sir Robert Hart, who said he was very weak and tired from the effects of insomnia, consented to a brief interview. "You must understand," he said, "that I am only home in a year's leave and being still a Chinese official I am not free to discuss government affairs. It is 54 years since I last saw South ampton, and in that time the change in ocean going ships has been wonderful. They are fioating palaces compared with the vessels of half a century ago. -"There has been one remarkable co incidence in connection with this voy age. When I left Southampton in .1854, I traveled In the P. O. steamship Candia. The first vessel I saw after reaching Shanghai on my way home in April was the modern P. O. steamer of the same name. "As regards the general conditions of China, everything is going ahead. The people are becoming more closely knitted together, and everywhere there are signs of progress. "European ideas are undoubtedly making headway, but the Chinese do not assimilate anything rapidly.

"The Chinese are not warlike," he said, "in the sense generally under stood, but they are formidable oppon ents when roused, as they are good fighters and are not afraid of deatn. It will take a long time to make them a strong military and naval power. Their forces, however, are steadily de veloping. "It is in commerce that China threat ents the western world most seriously The millions of her great empire can live much more cheaply than European workers, and thus a formidable indus trial and trade competition may be ex- rvected." On reaching London Sir Robert drove straight to his house in (jaaogan gar dens. He was greatly impressed with the changes that have taken place in his absence. Motor omnibuses, taxi- cabs and tube railways he had never before seen. Since he was last in London, also,- whole streets of houses have been swept away. WILL BE ACCOMMODATED. Those Accused of Lund Frauds to Have Coveted Trial. Portland, Ore., July 13. Continued prosecution of pending Oregon land fraud cases will be in the programme of the government, according to Tracy C. Becker, special assistant to the at torney general, who has just returned to San Francisco where he has been in conference. with Francis J. Heney Mr. Becker said that these trials would be held, beginning with the C. R. Booth conspiracy case next Thursday. It is the evident lnten tion of the government finally to give the various defendants the trials some of them have been demanding ever since the -indictments were re turned over three years ago. Said Judge Becker: "Mr. Heney will come to Portland personally to try the case against Hermann and alsd to retry William son wherever these defendants are ready to go to trial." "We are still workups; on the case, iKl KREIPE, Secretary responded Mr. Becker when asked If he could tell when the government would Institute suit against the Oregon and California Railroad com pany in the land grant cases. NOT GUILTY THIS TIME. "Smoke" William!) Didn't Disturb Peace at East Side Meeting. Don't hit a man when he's down.. It now develops that "Smoke" Williams, the man who was arrested the other day for disturbing the peace of a gathering on the grounds of the Park dais school house,, is not so guilty as appearance would indicate. A lady who was present at the meeting in question, telephones the State Journal that "Smoke" Williams was not pres ent on the grounds when the trouble started, but came along afterwards and spoke courteously to tte belliger ents, among whom were some women, asking them to make up their differ ences. "Smoke," as Is usual with peacemakers, was the chief sufferer. Williams Is now out on bond of (500 o na larceny charge and also has a reputation for resisting police officers. He fought the police twice in one night and finally got away only to be arrest ed the next morning. But this lady from the east side is a lover of fair play and does not want to see even "Smoke" Williams suffer for a charg of. which he Is Innocent, so with all his misdoings "Smoke" may be regard ed at this time in the light of an in jured innocent. KANSAS AND THE FORESTS. Government Would Send Expert Investigate Condition. to Governor Hoch" has received a letter from William H. Hall, acting forester et the United States department of agricul ture, offering to send an expert forester to Kansas to investigate the forest con ditions nn1 offer suggestions for improve ments.. This state lias no forests that are worth mentioning, but maybe the stnte wants to use some vacant lots to build up a forest reserve and if so the advli-e ot an expert from Washington probably would be valuable. It will cost four hun dred dollars to make this investigation and the government has arranged for each state, where the Investigations are made, to pay one-half of the expense and the government pay the other half and the salaries of the foresters. Both the state and the government receive copies of the report. The forester would travel over the en tire state, examine the soil conditions and by comparisons with conditions In other states he will be able to advise what va rieties of trees would be the best for propagation by the state for forest re serves or for private parties who might wish to start timber tracts for themselves. In May the governors of all the states had a conference in Washington regard ing the conservation of the natural re sources of the country. The sending of these experts is the result of this confer ence as the men are being sent to all parts of the country to advise about tree planting. Trlckctt at Little Rock. Little Rock. Ark., July 13. Assistant Attorney General C. W. Trlckett of Kansas addressed a large audience at the Capitol theater last night on the business proposition of the saloon. Mr. Trlckett is scheduled to speak at a number of places In Arkansas under the auspices of the State Antlsaloon League. Longest Letter Address. What some of the London papers de scribe as the longest address ever writ ten on an envelope was put on a letter dispatched by a Mahometan pleader to his nephew. It .ran thus: "If the Al mighty pleases, let this envelop, having arrived at the city of Calcutta, in the neighborhood of Kulutollah, at the counting house of Sirajondin and Al ladad Khan, merchant, be offered to and read by the happy light of his eyes, of virtuous manners, and beloved of the heart, Mian Sheikh Inayat All, may his life be long!

THE TOPEHA DAILY STATS JOTTIllTAL-lIOIIDAY EVCimTQ, JULY 13, 1CC3. Prospects for Uncle Sam's Ath letes In England Bright. Comparison With Other Olym i pic Team Is Giren. RUBERS VERT FAST. In Illgh and Broad Jumps We Are Also Strong. Scotch Sprinters Are Considered Most Dangerou to Face. New York. July IS. America's prospects of 'winning the Olympic Championship In track and field ath letics In the stadium at Liondon are now brighter than ever. The selec tions made by the American Olympic committee leave no room for criti cism. The American team Is a truly representative one, every part of the country from Massachusetts to Cali fornia and from Michigan to Texas having members on It. College ath letes, both graduates and under graduates, hold an Important place, and this will probably be pleasing to the Britons, for they know that these men belong to the highest class of amateurs, though it can safely be. said that not a man on the Olympic team bears the slightest taint of pro fessionalism. Of the 76 athletes picked to carry Jhe Stars and Stripes it is hard to see where any baa mistakes were maae. There may be several men on the sup plementary list who should change places with those on the first list, but even if they did it is hardly probable that it would add much to the point getting ability of the team as a whole. A careful comparison of the results of the American and British tryouts would seem to Indicate that there are few events on the Olympic programme in which our men will not score. Our greatest handicap will be the change in climatic conditions. .The distance runners will suffer most, but these are the events In which we are weakest, and consequently the score will not be greatly affected. Records show that we have a good chance to win all the points In the dashes. The sprinting squad Is the strongest this country or any other has ever mustered together. J. B. Taylor and Jack Atlee should take good care of the quarter-mile dash. We are better represented in the 800-meter race than ever before. It is hard to see where there is any man who can hold M. W. Sheppard, who has run the half mile in 1:43 3-5. Though our other half-milers are sterling performers, they are at least four seconds slower than Sheppard. H. C. Halstead of Cornell, H. I Coe of Michigan and J. P. Sullivan of the Irish-American A. C. form a trio of milers that should be able to beat the Britons at their favorite distance. Fred Bellars of the New York A. G. will- be close up at the finish In the five-mile event. Our hurdlers out Class the world,1ahd w;e' should sweep the card in these two events. The same may be said of the pole vault, in which A. C. Gilbert will perform. Ray Ewry will undoubtedly win both the standing high and broad jumps. We should score heavily in the running high and broad jumps, though we may not win. Sheridan, Dearborn and Gar rells seem to have a first class chance to take the majority of the honors in the discus throws, while our represen tatives in the hammer throw and shot put will almost surely outdistance their rivals. The hop-step-and-jump should be an American victory, but our chances of winning the Marathon race are not particularly good. England looks to her distance men to wipe out the stain of double defeat which the Americans Inflicted at Athens two years ago. On Crabbe, McGough, Anderson and Hawthey does she chiefly rely. Of the lot. Hawtrey was the only one to win at Athens. The others went down to defeat before I: 1 1 ci -oaodoooooooodoooooooooootyooa ir" the whirlwind finishes of Pilgrim and Ligntbody. John McGough. the Scot, is one of the greatest runners on earth today. He is dangerous from COO yards to five miles and, thinks nothing of doing a mile In 4.21. Anderson, a Scotchman, can run close to 50 seconds for the quarter and does the half mile In 1:51. Crabbe Is a brilliant half mller, with several 1:5S races to his credit. Lieutenant Tawtrey is train ing hard to repeat hie Athens victory and fears only the Swedes. Svanberg and Peterson. Hawtrey's grit at Athens was unsurpassable and every sign points to the fact that he will be the man to beat la the five mil race at London. Manager Halpln. of the American Olympic team baa completed arrange ments for the quartering of the team during its stay In London for the Olym pic games. The athletes will stay -at the Morton. Square hotel, within easy riding distance of the stadium at Shep erd'a Bush. The team will leave Lon don either on July 29 or August 1 for its return trio to this country.

CRAKE DECLINES He Refuse Presidency of the Com mercial Club. Some one who has established his standing as a smart man has said 'Tis seldom that a crown roes a- begging," but that is just what is hap pening ngnt Here in Topeka with ref erence to the Commercial club. G. W. Crane, who was elected president of mat oody late Saturday afternoon, af ter E. H. Crosby had refused the place will not accept it. For a 'quarter of a century 'or more Mr. Crane has been one of the fore most business men of the city and un der ainerent conditions would have ac cepted the place of honor with pleas ure. He is one of the active promoters of the Topeka Southwestern railway proposition and has given liberally of his time and money to get the project to the vantage place which it' now oc cupies. For some reason the Commercial club has given the Topeka Southwestern proposition only half-hearted support and some of the members of the club have fought It In the open. This is the reason that Mr. Crane refuses to accept the presidency of the, club at tne present time for he feels that the harmony which is necessary to make a go of the affair is lacking. "I do not feel that I should accept the place under the present conditions," said Mr. Crane. "We have found that the board of directors of the Commer cial club is not in harmony with the ideas of the finance committee which Is working for the Topeka South' western railway proposition. I cannot accept the presidency of the club under the present conditions for I consider the railway proposition para mount to everything else at this time. "Just- why this opposition exists as far as the Commercial club and espec ially the board of directors Is concern ed Is more than I can see, but there Is no doubt that the board of directors is opposed to the proposition as It Is pre seated at the present time. I will need all of my spare time to devote to the sale of Topeka Southwestern bonds and I could not aid the project if I were at the head of the Commercial club, un der the conditions as they exist at the present time. "I consider every member of the board of directors my warm personal friend but we do not agree on the To peka Southwestern proposition. I re gret that harmony does not exist but I feel that my first duty Is to the rail road regardless of the attitude of the board of directors of the Commercial club. I am not unmindful of the con fidence which the board has .imposed in me In offering me the place but -my answer is a firm and positive no. Robert Pierce, vice president .of the Commercial club Insists that the place of president be filled immediately and a meeting of the board of directors will be called at an early date to settle the matter. For some reason the board la having a hard time to get a suit able man to accept the place and a dozen or more names have been con sidered at different times and Mr. Crane and Mr. Crosby elected to the place though they insisted that they would not qualify.
