G. wife of a farmer, yesterday after A pose was quickly organized bloodhounds and they chased the girl until early this morning, when he was captured in a swamp. Penni gtor bound hand and foot and taken back the Davis home for identification. Ka Davis immediately recognized him, the nicro broke down and wept. He stretched having committed the assault, pleased for mercy, but no mercy was received. The nicro was dragged from the house and into the woods where the had gathered. Several of the Dilwaukee, Wis., Aug. 4 — A Sentinel special from Marinette, Wis., says, United States Senator Benjamin F. Ellen, of South Carolina, addressed large audience here on the race question from a Southern standpoint. One remark was a plea in justification of清洗. "In Wisconsin you have 5,000) black men," said he. Why don't you try the teaching process and exterminate men by intermarrying? The idea is to persuage to you. In South Caroina we have 750,000 blacks and 550,000 men. The carpenters, the 'nigger of the southern sealawags and seouns, were ruled us after the war until they stole everything that there was in the state; then we went with our nuggets to the polls and took it away from them. All men are not created equal and the niggers' are not fit votes. Come what may, the white people of the South will govern their own country." He condemned Bocker Washington'r because of educating the negro along industrial lines as an attempt; to place LITTLE THINGS. There's never a rose in all the world but makes some green spray sweeter. There's never a wind in all the sky but makes some bird wing feeder. There's never a starburst brng to heswee Some silver radiance tende, And never a rosy cloud but helps To crown the sunset splendor; Sorbin but may thrill some heart, I'm dawalight gladness voicing, Gods us all some small, sweet way To sit the world rejoicing.

THE KA d Best Weekly TRY AND ECONOMY SHOULD BURNING citizens had already driven an iron pipe in the ground and as the men approached with Pennington both whites and blacks were piling brushwood around the stake. The negro saw his doom and, with a scream of terror, fell to the ground in a faint. He was quickly revived and dragged to the stake, while the crowd stood silently by. The frightened man was limp and had to be held up while the chains were fastened around his neck and body. When the pile was lighted the terrified negro again pleaded for mercy in the most agonizing tones and prayed to God that those around him might perish. The body was quickly consumed and the crowd then quietly dispersed. At Texas arkana, Ark., recently an unknown white man brutally assaulted Nel ie Finnegan a young white girl. She died immediately afterwards from his injuries. him on an equality with the white artisan, something that would intensify race hatred in the South. He said that among the 4,000,000 slaves during the rebellion there were more Christians than there are to day among the 9,000,000 blacks in the South. "I do not want to up hold slavery," he continued. "I thank God there are no slaves to day under the stars and stripes." Mr. Tillman made an eloquent plea in justification of lynching, saying that Southern women could not be brought into court to testify to their shame and degradation before a jury for the purpose of convicting a boast. His reference to the sanctity of the Southern women and his remarks on lynching were heartily applauded. He closed with an impassioned statement to the effect that the white people of the South would remain on top "in a state of the devil," and if necessary he and his brethren were ready to take down their shotgun again. Mary Maddox, a colored woman of Birmingham, Alabama, recently gave birth to a four legged baby boy. OF TWO CITIES Jeweler J. A. Wilson, Judge I. F. Bradley, H. P.

"Blind Tom," the negro pianist, who had so dropped out of hearing that many have supposed him dead, has now reappeared in concert. Tom is now 62 years old, and is still mentally the child he was when his extraordinary imitative faculty was first manifested. Since 1882 he has been under the most punctual care, in asylums and sanitariums, and his custody has been a shuttlecock between one and another attorney. The present guardian is Albert Lerche. Of course, Blind Tom is a musical freak, but he is quite different from freaks that are made so for his gift is something born with him, and apparently it continues despite his long sickness. He can still play three airs at once, play second to any performer, play with his back to the piano, and repeat any new tune that is sung or whistled or played to him. "Blind Tom" remains a riddle, with no follow. His "original" compositions are of no value, but his reproduction of notable works at a moment's hearing is marvelous. AN EQUAL CHANCE who wold dare deny that the Negro has a right to an equal chance in the race of life with every other man to show his competency? Some say that the seed thus a sown will never sprout. How can it, if you never plant it? Put it in the soil with the other seed; let the same sun shine upon it; let the same rain fall upon it; then see what the results will be. See then whether it wip grout or not. What we demand for the Negro is that all doors be open to him all opportunities be fully offered him the rights of libert and industry given him. We protest bitterly against a system which puts the walls of reservation around him, which denies him the fundamental rights of a free man. We claim and demand for the Negro the equal absolute rights and opportunities with the white man, the same duers as widely open, the same avenue. A practice very common among the churches and other institutions among Negroes that should have some confining limits, is card begging, where the donors or required to punch the amount given on the card. There is nothing attached to this practice when the cards are placed in the hands of mature people, who have grown accustomed to the catches and snares of life, but when placed in the hands of the innocent young females of the race, the first stone is laid for a foundation, upon which unprincipled men build their hopes to ensnare innocence and virtue. B eing money at best brings your daughter in contact with much of the vilest class of the human family. The deprived brutes often take the advantage and the results you, reap in after days. Ministers of the gospel should see to it that begging cards are put only in the hands of older people—and parents if they cannot beg themselves on the same—should refrain from allowing their daughters to beg. This is timely advice, and no doubt many a woman of mature years will bear witness to the truthfulness here is said John Clinton Jr., who is organizing a movement for a national convention of Negro bankers, to be held at Buffalo, September 28, is the president of the First Colored Bank, North, of Philadelphia. The convention will be the first or its wind ever held in America Mr. Clinton is a native of Richmond, Va., 35 year old, and a graduate of the Moore Street Industrial school. In 1890 he became the publisher of the first daily news paper ever issued by Negroes, but abandoned the editorial chair to study law, an ambition in which he succeeded so well as to secure admission to the Virginia bar in 1894. He soon acquired a large and profitable clientage in Richmond invested his savings in the insurance business there. A few years ago he removed to Philadelphia and organized an insurance company for colored people. The enterprise thrived so well that Mr Clinton conceived the idea of establishing a bank for colored people, to run a connection with the insurance scheme. His call for a convention at Buffalo, has been taken up by prominent Negroes in all parts of the country and promises to be one of the important incidents of the Pan American exposition. "Pitchfork" Ben. Tillman of South Carolina, has again broken out jail.

Th suggestion of a negro building g at the StLouis exposition is one of eminence appropriatess. The exposition itself will be the first of its scope comparing with the Chicago world fair. It will commemorate the purchase of territory including states which were the district to home of the American negro, and while the matter of geography is purely incidental, and while the expoition will not belong to the North o South, the East or West, there is something in the situation which makes peculiarly the first chance the negro has had to show what he has done during the past third of a century. He has made marvelous advances in our space of time. He should be judged not by the heights to which he has climbed but by the depths from which he started. The showing this, he could make at this time would be one of not merely great ethnological interest, but of special value in relation to the solution of the race problem. The problem is one which queues in history, and anything which throws light upon it is to be encouraged. There is a special fitness in the suggestion that all the work in connection with the building should be done by negroes and that the entire management of the negro exert its plausible charge of members of that race. A building designed by negro architects erected by negro workmen and containing a comprehensive and intelligent expoition of the life of the race in American would be in many respects one of the most interesting features of the entire fair. There is plenty of talent and material to be used for such a display, and the task would be taken up with an enthusiasm which would give a tremendous impetus to negro progress. This in itself would be one of the most important considerations. It would have an influence which would be felt many years after the expoition was a memory, possibly the great set which has ever been exerted upon the negro race in this country. - Journal. GEORGE F. FANNELIN DEAD To chronicle the death of George F. Franklin, which occurred last Sunday is to say that Denver has lost one of her mosthighly esteemed citizens; the church one of its ardent and faithful members the fraternal societies of which he was a member, a benevolent brother and the press one of its most forceable writers. Mr. Franklin, who was formerly edito of the Enterprise at Omaha, moved to this city a little over two years ago, with a view of benefiting his health. He was assumed charge of the Statesman, and continued to publish his logical thoughts which has had a telling effect in the advancement of the Negro race. As a successful journalist, he ranked the first, and to follow the models which he has mapped out is but to climb the ladder of success. The funeral services were held at Shorter's Chapel. Tuesday afternoon, under the auspices of the Masonic and Odd Fellows fraternities, the funeral being preached by Rev. F, J. Peck. We join with the entire community in extending to bearers faithful our hear lt sympathy.—Colored Statesm ent. PETER JACKSON NO MORE. Peter Jackson, the ex-champion pugilist of Australia, died at a private sanitaium at Roma, near Sydney, New South Wales, on July 23, of consumption, according to a dispatch from Victoria, British Columbia, Peter Jackson was for years one of the stellar lights of pugilism and but for John L, Bullivan's barring him from championship honors by drawing the color line, he might have been the world's champion. His most important battle in this country was against James J. Corbett at San Francisco which was declared "no contest" after sixty one rounds of fighting, which left both men in such a weak and exhausted condition that neither could do any further damage. Jackson whipped big Joe McAuliffe and Patty Cardiff in this country, and knocked out Jem Smith, the English champion, and Frank Slavin the Australian, at London. Jackson was under the management of "Parson Davies, and when the fighting game was slack he toured the country as Ucle Tom in "Uncle Toms Cabin" and appealed at the old Gilliss theatre in that role and sparred with Joe Choynski between acts Peter was 40 years of age. DRY CREEK LOCALS. Red Mike's saloon was raided last night and ten gallons of whisky and a caddy of Willow Twist tobacco was stolen. The fact that the Three Leaf Temperance club held a late session last night may furnish Mike a clue. Bill Feverdrops was released from the city jail this morning on the promise that he would behave himself and help his wife do the washing. Bill is a rattling good fellow when he is sober, but it is hard to catch him that way. The Carrie Nation society held its second meeting in the rear of Bill Ax-maker's hardware store last night. The meeting was opened with prayer and closed sine die. This final action was taken owing to the high price of hatchets in Dry Creek. Joe Smith lost a valuable dog Monday. It was thought at first that someone had given the dog poison with malicious intent, but a post-mortem examination disclosed one of Mrs. Smith's breakfast biscuits in the dog's stomach. Joe has our sympathy. The Buzzard gives divine notice right here, once for all, that no more free church notices will be published in these columns unless a ticket to the whole performance accompanies the copy. We are down on benging societies and religious lotteries anyway, and we don't propose to be a willing accomplice to the game unless there is something in it for us. Sam Lander, of Coyote Gulch, was in town yesterday, the first time since he buried his mother. Sam hadn't been here two hours until he was fuller than a bath sponge and he insisted on shooting the ears off of a gentleman from Omaha. Sam was finally chased out of town by the marshal, and as we go to press some of the boys are trying to coax the man from Omaha to come out from under the meeting house. A box of dried up cake from the feasting boards of the Hodges-Blatz wedding reached this office two days after the charming Miss Blatz had thrown herself away by marrying Tom Hodges. If Tom thinks he can buy space in this paper and reinstate himself in our innocent affections by sending us a box of curlings from his table, he's mistaken. He was afraid to invite us to the wedding because he knew we used to be sweet on the girl he film-flammed into marrying him. The bride has the sympathy of the entire community.—Dry Creek Buzzard.

The duke of Mariborough may have an exceedingly fine ancestry but he can't present his wife with two fathers-in-law, as Consuelo has done for him. Congressmen are now engaged in mailing their constituents copies of speeches that were never delivered, but the "applause" and other trimmings go with them. The worst feature of the fact that Assistant Postmaster General Jones had to write his name 250,000 times last year is that the name he had to write 250,000 times was Jones. Warwick castle is held by many to be the most beautiful seat in England. The large baronial hall is a magnificent room. It is decorated with the most perfect specimens of armor, furnished in a luxurious manner, and masses of flowers and large palms abound on every side.

This is to certify that Rev G McKee of this city will appear before the Governor of the State of Kansas, on the 15th day of August 1901, to ask the pardon of one Robert Manuel now serving a ten year sentence in the State penitentiary, having been sentenced from the District court of Wyandotte County October term 1898, charged with Assault and attempt to kill --- It is asserted by the defenders of "trusts" that in almost every instance the formation of a trust has been followed by a decrease in the price of the product. This is true; but in most instances trusts have been formed to check the downward tendency of prices by interfering with the operation of the law of supply and demand. Probably there is no conspicuous instance of lower prices following the organization of a trust, in which the prices to the consumer would not have fallen still lower if the trust had not been formed. The greatest objection to trusts is that they are wrong in principle, in that they interfere with a fundamental law of trade.

Keeping young is simply keeping abreast with the times we are in. At the recent anniversary in New York City of the founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayer Hewitt related this incident: "When I was a student at Columbia, base ball was our only game, and not such a detiment to a college as is to-day. We lost most of our balls by knocking them over into a yard of a house in Barclay street. One day when we were short and could not get any base balls, I was appointed a committee of one to visit the house and ask for some. A gentleman appeared in answer to my question, and producing a basket containing twenty-five or thirty balls, asked if they were ours. I said that I supposed they were. 'Every one of them has broken a window in my house,' he rejoined.

"We Bury The Dead." PATRONAGE SOLICITED. Telephone office 1014 N. 5th Street KANSAS CITY, KANS. A Hard Bet to Win. In 1893 three Irishmen agreed to undertake a journey around the earth on foot for a jackpot of $150,000. Each one of the party deposited one-third of this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and it was agreed that whoever survived the trip and returned should receive the whole amount. In case all died a Dublin hospital was to become the beneficiary. On Dec. 24, 1895, they started east across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt, where they took passage for Australia. Their wanderings through the inner wastes of Australia proved the hardest trials of the journey, and the severity of this trip resulted in the death of two of the travelers. The third, Capt. Trevelyan, completed the voyage and won the money. —New York Press.

It Fired a Projectile Through a House in Birmingham. ‘The residence of Coroner Paris in the southwestern part of Birmingham, Ala., was badly damaged yesterday afternoon in a most peculiar manner, a big hole being cut through one side by a shot from an old stump. During the tornado which recently swept the south side of the city two huge trees were blown down on the Paris place ‘and yesterday afternoon Coroner Paris employed a negro to remove the failen trees, which were 200 feet from the louse, The negro sawed the trees up leaving the stumps cut off short and partly buried in the ground. One of these stumps, a big oak affair, leaned over, pointing directly toward the house, ‘The negro wanted to blow this stump to pieces, and to this end he bored a 2-inch hole in it from the side and then inserted a stick of dynamite. ‘The hole was then closed up and the charge exploded. With the explosion of the dynamite the heart of the oak stump shot from its place like a can- non ball and flew straight for the house, striking it broadside and boring a huge hole through the wall. The stump was uninjured, except that the heart was removed, and after the ex- plosion it stood pointing its “muzzle” at the house like a huge piece of artil- lery. No one was hurt, the room in whieh the oaken shot fell after passing through the wall being unoccupied for the moment.—Atlanta News. Ran Too Great » Hazard.

MACHIAS ORDERED TO COLON Purpose is to Keep Transit Open Across the Isthmus - During Revolution of 1885, Entire North Atlantic Squadron Was Sent and Marines Took Possession of the City of Panama. An crder has been issued by the acting secretary of the navy for the gunboat Machias, now at the Boston navy yard, to proceed without delay to Hampton Roads, there to prepare for departure to Colon, near the eastern terminus of the Panama railroad. At the navy department it is explained that this movement has been ordered with a view to having the Machias take observations in the vicinity of the isthmus. In announcing the action of the department, it was officially stated that "it is deemed needful that a United States war vessel be in that vicinity at this time." The order to the Machias followed a conference held at the navy department between Acting Secretary of States Adee and Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett, Consul Hydrere recently stating that the revolutionists had held up a train for an hour at Marachin, on the line of the railroad across the isthmus, and only about fifteen miles from Panama City. While this was not regarded as threatening an interruption of traffic or giving any ground for intervention by the United States, yet it was deemed advisable by the officials that one of our ships should be in the neighborhood, in order that suitable observations could be made, and steps taken to meet any serious emergency that might arise. For the present, officials do not believe there will be any need of landing marines. The commander of the Machias, Lieutenant Commander Mason Sergeant, is regarded as an officer of tact and ability, and, besides this, he has had recent experience in West Indian waters, having been in command of the Scorpion when she made her recent trip to La Guayra to keep watch on American interests in Venezuela. The Machias is a gunboat of 1,170 tons displacement, with twin screws and good steam capacity. She has eight 4-inch guns in her main battery, six rapid fires and one automatic gun. Her run to the isthmus depends somewhat on the length of her stay at Hampton roads, but it is believed she will be ready to proceed with little or no delay, in which case the trip will take about ten days or two weeks. The position of the United States as to maintaining free traffic across the isthmus of Panama was fully defined in 1885, when extensive naval operations were carried on there. An outbreak somewhat similar to the present one occurred early in the year, and the insurgents captured Panama and burned Aspinwall. When traffic became effectually blocked, the United States determined to act, and the North Atlantic squadron, under Rear Admiral Jouett, was sent to the isthmus. At the same time the navy department sent an expeditionary force from New York, consisting of 750 seamen and marines, commanded by Commander B. H. McCalla, and including three gattling and three 3-inch rifle guns. Admiral Jouett arrived at the isthmus April 10, and at once landed marines and issued orders to open transit across the isthmus. Two armored cars, fitted with howitzers, gatling and Hotchkiss guns, were sent over the line, clearing the way and making the entire transit. Garrisons of marines were placed at Aspinwall and Matachin, the latter place being where the revolutionists have now held up a train, according to Consul Huder's recent dispatch. Commander McCalla's expedition established headquarters at Panama. Here the revolutionary leader, Alizpur, was in full control, and was erecting barricades, expecting a battle with the Colombian army. Commander McCalla acted energetically, and, gathering his full force, occupied Panama on April 24, arrested Alizpur and the other leaders and held them prisoners until an agreement was signed that fighting should not take place within that city. CONVICTED IN FORTY MINUTES Georgia Negro Accused of Assault Sentenced to be Executed. Guarded by three companies of state militia, called out by Governor Chandler for his protection, Raymond Ross, a negro charged with assaulting Mrs. Miller, was taken to Canton, Ga., to stand trial. A special session of court was called by Judge Gober, who asked for the militia. The time the trial consumed was only forty minutes. The negro was convicted and sentenced to be hanged August 27. Ross was again landed in the Atlanta tail for safe keeping. Another Houck Road Incorporated A certificate of incorporation has been issued by Secretary of State Sam B.

The road will run from Gibson, in Dunklin county, to Talliposa, in New Madrid county. “There's no place like comb," remarked the facetious bee as it entered the hive.

The Selby Smelting and Lead company of San Francisco, has been robbed of $280,000 worth of gold bullion. The thieves tunnellled from outside the building under the vault of the Selby works, which are located on the bay shore, about thirty miles from San Francisco. They got away with nearly 1,200 pounds of fine gold, worth $20 an ounce, without leaving a trace of their identity behind. The robbery is the most successful and remarkable ever accomplished on the Pacific coast, and was evidently the work of skilled mechanics. The whole affair was most skillfully planned and as skillfully executed. It is supposed that when the robbers secured their loot they loaded it into a boat that was waiting and disappeared in the fog that had come over San Francisco bay. In their haste to get away they left two gold bars, worth nearly $50,000, lying on the bank at the water's edge. The police at all the bay cities were immediately notified of the crime, but all they could discover were a few of the tools that the robbers had used. The Selby Smelting and Lead Company is the largest concern of its kind on the Pacific coast. Ores are sent from all over the Western country to be smelted and refined and the gold is then turned over to the mint. A steamer makes special trips between the smelter and San Francisco, carrying the ores one way and bringing back the refined gold. When the workmen entered the vault to prepare the gold for loading on the steamer, the robbery was discovered. The thieves had taken the precaution of fastening the door of the vault from the inside, so that it would be difficult to open from the outside in case they were interrupted in their work. Probably preparatory engineering extending over several weeks was done before the robbery could be accomplished. Close to the wall of the building in which the vault is located a shaft was sunk below the foundation. Then a tunnel was run to the vault and holes were bored in the iron floor until an aperture sufficiently large to admit a man was made. It was then easy work to pass down the treasure into a tunnel and load it into a boat. The robbers even took the precaution to sprinkle red pepper in the tunnel in order to make things as uncomfortable as possible for anyone who might attempt to pursue them. There were four fine gold bricks in the vault which the robbers looted. Each was ten inches long, five inches wide and four inches in height. They were all stamped with number, weight and fineness, and ran thus: No. 1238, containing 1,190.37 ounces; No. 1237, containing 1,127.43 ounces; No. 1238, containing 1,123.22 ounces; and No. 1239, containing 1,073.79 ounces. All these bricks were 998 fine and worth $20.60 per ounce. In addition to this there were stolen from the bullion vault crude gold in all shapes and sizes, and some of it in bars of different lengths. Late reports are to the effect that the police department has in custody a man who was arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the Selby Smelter works robbery. The identity of the suspect is not known. The police will not vouchsafe and information in the matter. DIE BY THOUSANDS. Floods in China Cause Frightful Loss of Life Great floods caused by the overflowing of the Yangtse have caused the death of many thousands in China. The river has risen forty feet and for hundreds of miles the country is a great lake, with only tops of trees and an occasional roof showing. At Anking, the town is flooded, some of the houses, to their roofs. At Klu Kang, the native town is flooded and two feet of water stands in the foreign settlements. Lower down the river the destruction was much greater, and boatmen estimate that 20,000 were drowned in the district. Chong Teh was wiped away by floods and 10,000 drowned there. Many other points have been inundated, involving awful loss of life and great destruction of property. It was feared that an embankment built by Chong Chhe Tung near Wu Chang would break and cause the drowning of hundreds of thousands. Washouts on the Santa Fe. Six passenger trains are stalled at Albuquerque, N. M., owing to washouts on the Santa Fe railroad.

Having to his credit fourteen lives saved from drowning, Arthur Fagan, of Chicago, who is aged but 17 years, saved A. J. Baker, a would-be suicide, twice, although the man struggled to be allowed to die. After the first rescu- e, Baker fought savagely and finally threw his rescuer off and jumped into the lake a second time. Eagan again sprang after him and succeed- ed in dragging him to safety. Eagan is an expert swimmer. His alm is to become a member of a life saving crew, and he accordingly took up his headquarters this year at the Barry beach, where all his rescues have been made.

Prices have already fallen in a few districts. The total number of persons on the relief rolls is 553,000. IT MAY BE WAR COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA ILIKELY TO CLASH. VENEZUELA IS INVADED AGAIN Colombian Minister of War in Command—This, in Itself, Is an Act of War—Navy Department Declides to Send Wisconsin to San Diego—More Ships May Go. The situation in Colombia and Venezuela continues to occupy much of the attention of the officials at Washington, and while it is not felt that affairs have reached a serious aspect, yet it is appreciated that both the official and unofficial advices indicate a condition of affairs that might mean war between Colombia and Venezuela, complicated by revolutionary outbreaks in both countries. The state department has received a rather lengthy mail communication from Consul General Gudger at Panama, and though this was dated nearly a month ago, it told of the landing of a revolutionary expedition, and expressed the current belief at Panama that this would be followed by other expeditions. The department has also received a letter from J. Edward Simmons, of New York, president of the Panama Railroad company, confirming his communication relative to the trouble on the isthmus, and stating that the superintendent of the road had advise him as to the depredations of an insurgent band, which did not number, however, much over fifty men. The most serious aspect of the matter was presented in the press dispatches from Willemstad, stating that the Colombians had again invaded Venezuela. There was no official confirmation as to this, but if it should prove correct, there seems little chance of avoiding an open conflict between these two countries, as such an invasion by Colombia would be, in itself, an act of war. But the authorities prefer to take a conservative view of the situation until official advises are in hand. When inquiry was made as to why our officials at Bogota and elsewhere did not send full information on the subject, it was stated that these officials were not there to communicate news, but only to advise this government as a preliminary to any official action which might become necessary. At the navy department no further steps have been taken toward sending ships to the isthmus. It was decided definitely, however, to send the battleship Wisconsin down to San Diego, Cal., in case the desirability of that move became evident by the time she reached San Francisco, and the state department was so advised. There was some comment also as to the possibility of sending down some of the ships of the North Atlantic squadron, but Acting Secretary Hackett treated these suggestions as rather premature. There is no doubt, however, that an ample force will be sent from the squadron if its presence seems desirable. DAWSON IS IMPROVING. Gold Output of Klondike District for the Year-end $800,000,000 Ice has gone down to 2 cents a pound, and rents promise to be cheaper, says Consul McCook, in a report to the state department at Washington, upon conditions at Dawson City, Alaska. Dawson, he says, is improving rapidly. The gold output, the consul says, probably will fall short of the estimate made earlier in the year, and he believes $20,000,000 to be a fair estimate of the year's product. By orders from the Canadian government, the whole country under its jurisdiction has been thrown open to prospectors, no claims being reserved for the crown, as formerly, and the royalty on the gross output of the mines has been reduced from 10 to 5 per cent. Mr. McCook says good roads are badly needed in the mining country of Alaska and that the government has started to build them. HAVANA'S NEW TROUBLE. Holder of $200,000 Past Due Bonds Want's to Seize City's Income. Holders of Havana second mortgage bonds to the value of $200,000 desire to take possessions of some portions of the city income to pay the bonds, which had been drawn for payment, after judgment obtained, prior to January 1, 1899. Such an attempt had not been made heretofore because a military order existed under the terms of which persons having claims against municipalities which matured prior to January 1, 1899, were not permitted to enforce payment. That order was annulled by a recent order and now the bondholders wish either to seize the city property or to collect the income. Mayor Gener says the municipality at present has no funds with which to pay these bonds. Denver Woman Shoots Mrs. Philip Hitchcock, wife of a prominent railroad man, shot and seriously, if not fatally wounded James W. Roberts and his wife in their candy store on Sixteenth street, Denver. The woman was shot in the face and the man received two bullets, one in the middle of the forehead. It was at first thought that the man was killed, but at the hospital he revived and the physicians hope for the recovery of both. Jealousy was the cause of the shooting. Boy Killed While Hunting. While Halle Lane, aged 17, and Clarence Voohers were hunting near Shackelford, Mo., Lane's shotgun was accidentally discharged, tearing a hole in his heart. He said only: "My God, Voohers, I'm killed." Lane is a son of Dr. Mary Mansur, of Marshall. Woman Struck by Train Mrs. George Harming was killed by the evening passenger train about four miles southeast of Girard, Kas. Mrs. Wilson Larimore, who was with her, was seriously injured. NEW MOVE AGAINST TRUSTS. Attempt to be Made to Force Attorney General to Attack it. District assembly No. 66, of the Knights of Labor have authorized its legislative committee to bring quo warrants proceedings against the attorney general of the United States to show cause why he has not enforced the provisions of the anti-trust law, known as the Sherman act. This action is aimed at the United States Steel corporation, which will be charged, it is alleged, with operating in violation of the Sherman act. Labor leaders in Washington say this will hasten a solution of the strike now in progress. They say that laws similar or nearly similar to the Sherman law have been enacted in nearly all the states and in several of them, notably in Ohio and Texas, the county attorneys have the power of the attorney general of the state in quo warrants proceedings, and that the Amalgamated Association has a large fund on hand with which to institute proceedings similar to those just begun. Former Attorney General Frank S. Monett, of Ohio, has been retained by the American Anti-Trust League to begin action before the state and local courts of Ohio. WON'T USE HIWAIIAN COFFEE. War and Navy Departments Refuse to Comply With Request. The governor of Hawaii has requested this government to buy its coffee supplies for the army and navy from the Hawaiian coffee growers, suggesting that it is of great importance that men of small means operating in this industry should receive encouragement either by prospective duty or bounty, and that many without relief will have to leave their plantations. The war and navy departments, to which the request was forwarded, have replied that the suggestion is impracticable, on the ground that they do not use that kind of coffee, that the Hawaiian coffee is high priced and not of the required strength for their use. BOOTY RECOVERED. Priest Returns Stolen Diamonds Worth $1,500 Three weeks ago the jewelery store of J. M. Washburn at Anderson, Ind., was robbed of $1,500 worth of diamonds. The stones were in the show-window and the thief entered the store at noon and took them out. The other day Mr. Washburn was notified by the pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church, at Chicago, that the diamonds were in his possession. Mr. Washburn returned from Chicago, having recovered the stolen property. The thief went to the Chicago priest a few days ago and while in the confessional, told the story of the robbery and turned over the stolen property to the priest, who immediately notified Mr. Washburn. HE ASKS FOR $872.427. Francis Seigle Wants the United States to Give Him a Fortune. The second largest claim yet filed with the Spanish treaty claims commission has been presented by Francis Seigle, an American citizen, resident in Cuba. His claims amount to $872,-427. Seigle says that in 1896 his plantation was worth $1,000,000, but by reason of the depreductions of the Spanish troops he is now reduced to absolute want. He states that he himself was compelled to leave the island and went to New York. Later, his family, owing to the persecutions of the Spanish troops, were compelled to accept the courtesies of the British consul, who spirited them away. They finally joining him in New York. NEW HAMPSHIRE TORNADO. Man and Woman Killed Near Portsmouth and Several Injured. A disastrous wind storm passed over Portsmouth, N. H., causing the death of two persons on Seaver's Island and injuring half a dozen others. Those killed are Mrs. L. M. Mealey of New York, wife of a member of the band at the navy yard, and Joel Pearson, a stonecutter. The greatest force of the wind was exerted on Seaver's Island where the big shed of Contractor John Pierce, of New York, who is constructing the new dry dock at the navy yard, was converted into a mass of debris. Those killed and injured were in or near the shed at the time of the storm. Train Strikes a Carriage A Chicago Great Western switch engine struck a carriage occupied by Mrs. Mary Hofmeyer and her son Arthur, aged 12, at the Third street crossing, St. Joseph, and both occupants were fatally injured. The carriage was demolished. Hold for Child. Murder The coroner's jury at Mexico, Mo, held Addie Crawley, colored, and Alexander Monroe, colored, for the murder of the former's 5-year-old daughter, found with its skull crushed, under a house in Mexico. The child's life was insured for only $12. Was Cut off With $42. Maximillian Manasee, nephew of a former wealthy banker of Berlin, committed suicide at his boarding house in Philadelphia by shooting himself because his uncle had cut him off in his will with $40. Manasee, who was a clerk, had frequently spoken of his uncle and said he expected to receive $40,000. When he received a letter telling him he was to receive but $40 he went to his room and killed himself. Good Apples in Kansas Fred Wellhouse, president of the Kansas State Horticultural society, says that there will be plenty of good apples in Kansas this year. The drought, of course, cut the crop to half that of last year. Mr. Wellhouse says, but it must be remembered that last year's crop was unusually large. Mr. Wellhouse scoffs at the suggestion of an apple famine. No, Maude, dear; it isn't necessary to have a green deck of cards for a Pat hand. The prisoners of England shelter many titled and aristocratic prisoners, among them begin relatives of his majesty, the king, who have suffered ignominious penalties at the hands of the law. Lady Gunning, widow of Sir Henry Gunning and granddaughter of the second Lord Churchill, is serving a term of several years' penal servitude for having forged the name of her father to notes on which she raised money from London discounters and tradesmen. These forgeries extended over a number of years, and were considered especially unpardonable from the fact that her ladyship was driven to commit them not from her reduced circumstances, but from indebtedness caused by betting on the races. Mrs. Osborne, wife of Captain Osorne, of a crack cavalry regiment, being in destitute circumstances purloined a costly pearl necklace, which she later sold in England, and was sentenced to imprisonment with hard labor. Nor was any greater judicial lenency shown Gwynette Maude, granddaughter of the Earl of Montell, who was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labor for obtaining goods under false pretenses. The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland, presuming too greatly on the latitude allowed her rank, destroyed in the presence of her court a document that would have insured her defeat in a suit she was conducting. For this she was condemned to six months' imprisonment. The Count and Countess Leningen, distant cousins of the King, are neither of them of great credit to their royal connections. For his many misdeeds the count is confined in an English penitentiary, while the countess is serving time in a Vienna jail as punishment for forgery, blackmail and swindling. Still greater degradation has been undergone by the Marchioness of Donegal, who has time and again been sent to jail, generally for brief periods, following her arrest in London for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Still another connection of the English royal house, the Countess Waldeck, is now undergoing punishment for forgery and perjury under circumstances --- ARMY AND NAVY NOTES Orders for the re-establishment of the European station have been issued by the secretary of the navy, and Rean Admiral Cromwell has been ordered to proceed at once to Europe and assume command of the station. For the present his squadron will consist of the cruiser Chicago, flagship, and the cruiser Albany and the gunboat Nashville. The Chicago is now the flagship of the South Atlantic station, but has received orders to proceed from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Glatbaltar, and the Albany and Nashville have already left Cavite for Suez, where they are to receive orders from Rear Admiral Cromwell. It is stated at the navy department that one of the newer battleships will be ordered to the European station some time in the fall. It is more than probable that either the Kearsarge or the Alabama will be selected for this duty. The European station was abandoned in 1898, just previous to the war with Snain. H. Phelps Whitmarch, governor of Benguet province, northern Luzon, who has been ordered to Manila to submit to an investigation, has had an adventurous career, according to newspaper biographies, having been a tramp, silver miner, sheep herder, pearl diver, beach comber, barber and author. He is the son of an English clergyman, and was born in Canada, and was traveling over the Philippines for a monthly magazine when he was, though a British subject, selected for Benguet governor. He is now accused of using his position to his personal advantage in acquiring land and mining rights from the natives. Work on two sections of a target representing the sides of an iron-clad warship, to be used for experiments made to keep abreast of the new and aggressive rival. Whether the English will be able to compete with America in the improvement of its own transit properties, however, is a much-disputed question. The success of the "two-penny tube," built by Americans after American methods and operated with American cars, is resulting in the renovation and extension of other antiquated underground lines, in which the Americans are taking the initiative. Englishmen believe, however, that the underground railroad projects of the Americans are only the beginnings of others in their country, and accordingly are bestirring themselves in order not to be forestalled along other lines. Wealth is a pleasing condition of always having street car fare. Underneath the town of Norwich, England, are numbers of brine springs, which were used for the preparation of salt even before the Christian era. Owing to the immense excavations occasioned by the pumping up of this brine, the main street of the town is now to be raised four feet. As recently as 1892 it was raised five feet, and again the thoroughfare is on a level with the River Weaver, which runs close by. The property to be lifted consists of hotels and large shops, under which hydraulic jacks are placed, and as the structures are raised wooden wedges are inserted. So accurate is the work done that "business is carried on as usual during alterations" and but little inconvenience is experienced by the families. Nearly every little local custom in England can be traced by the antiquarian back almost to prehistoric times, and in the interesting tradition that the sunrise must be witnessed on midsummer day from the vast piles of Stonehenge is one of these ancient customs. It may have been a habit with the ancient Britons to do homage to the source of light on this, the sun's greatest day, or the custom may date back to those red-haired tribes who came before even the Britons in the history of the island. This world-famed monument of antiquity, the origin of which forever must remain a mystery to the human mind, is now inclosed by a high fence of barbed wire. To this has to be added the novelty of a turnstile, through which persons desirous of inspecting the stones may pass on payment of 1 shilling each. Gigantic Oregon Mushrooms. Oregon beats the world for rosy-cheeked girls, big red apples, roses big cherries, long timbers and lots of other things. Including edible much English Nobility Members Confined in Prison Cells that had no extenuating features. No amount of royal influence could save her from jail. Italy has two convict dukes, chiefs of the famous Old Sicilian house of Villarosa, who murdered in a most cruel manner a young infantry lieutenant who was betrothed to their sister, the Princess Caratina. The murderer dukes are confined in the great penitentiary of Maddalena, near Naples, which also shelters the Prince Caracciola, sentenced to ten years' hard labor for the murder of his wife. This noble prisoner was once deserted by his beautiful wife. As an effectual revenge he poisoned her with arsenic. In consideration of his prince-ly name, the murderer escaped with a ten years' term.—Pennsylvania Grit. He Was Clever. Dr. Guthrie, an authority on military surgery fifty years ago, was a kindly man, though somewhat brusque in manner. Sir Joseph Frayer says: "I was his house surgeon, and we got on very well together. One day, when we were going through the wards with a large following of distinguished visitors, foreign surgeons and others, we stopped by the bedside of an interesting case, when Guthrie, found fault with the dresser for something he had done. The student ventured to reply and Guthrie said: "I dare say you think you are a remarkably clever fellow, don't you? 'No, sir,' said the youth, earnestly, 'I don't.' But you are, though,' said Guthrie, and passed on." Natural Tunnel Is a Wonder. In locating the Virginia and Southwestern railroad through the Alleghanies from Virginia into Tennessee advantage was taken of a natural tunnel which is one of the wonders of the world. The distance through this tunnel is about 1,000 feet, and so nearly perfect is the tunnel that only sixty feet of blasting was necessary. The region is of limestone formation, as always where there are extensive caves. The cliffs at each end of the tunnel are 400 feet high, and the scenery in the locality is remarkably fine—Indianapolis News. by the ordnance department of the army, is about completed at the New York navy yard. The base consists of large timbers bolted together, with similar beams placed in an upright position and braced from behind. Against the upright beams will be placed steel plates, for the purpose of holding in position the armor. This will consist of Krupp steel eleven and a half inches in thickness and covering the entire surface of the target, which is sixteen feet square The targets are to be experimented with at Sandy Hook. American Capital in London. American capital in London. The invasion of London by American capital, says an Englishman new in New York, has stirred up the English as much as did the arrival of the Dutch fleet off the mouth of the Thames in the old time. The effect has been to awaken British capital to its possibilities. English pride has been hurt, and every endeavor will be made to keep abreast of the new and aggressive rival. Whether the English will be able to compete with America in the improvement of its own transit properties, however, is a much-disputed question. The success of the "two-penny tube," built by Americans after American methods and operated with American cars, is resulting in the renovation and extension of other antiquated underground lines, in which the Americans are taking the initiative.

Wealth is a pleasing condition of always having street car fare. rooms. Two specimens, the latter of the species "lautinus monstrosus," were found in the cellar of a resident of Irvington. They made their presence known by raising a pile of wood and threatening to lift the house off its foundations. They were secured by William F. Woodward, who sent one of them to Prof. Sweetser of Forest Grove, and has placed the other on exhibition. It is rather a formidable-looking fungus, the stem being two inches in diameter and about ten inches long, while the cap is the size of an ordinary soup plate and about three inches in thickness at the center. Such "vegetables" must not be grown under restraint of wood-piles or anything else short of an Egyptian pyramid, but must be given space according to their strength, which is something tremendous.—Portland Oregonian. Fertility of Sicily. The natural fertility of Sicily is indeed remarkable. Without the use of fertilizers three different growths—olives, vines and wheat—flourish in close proximity. Great sections already artificially watered are among the garden spots of the world. The "Plano del Cappuccini" at Trapani, on the western shore, the far-famed "Conca I'Oro," near Palermo, and the entire eastern coast north of Catania are sections which surpass in fertility the favored valleys of Tuscany. Already 10,000,000 orange trees, or two-thirds of the total number grown in Italy, flourish on the island, while cotton and linseed, the almond, the olive, the carob and the mandarin are extensively raised. Striking-looking parasols are those made of silk of broad pronounced stripes, running around the upper part of the parasol, while the lower part is of chiffon and silk. Emporia's title is the "Queen City of Kansas." Downs proudly states that it has not a lawyer. Bolt has it a 15-year-old girl who is a bootleger. Fort Scott has a railroad foreman named Swearingen. One farmer near Sumner expects to market 3,000 cantaloupes. A Dodge City banana tree shoots cut a new leaf every eleventh day. An Atchison girl is a waitress in a German beer garden at the Pan-Am. A Leavenworth woman is studying the sun spots—she has a freckle faced boy. The government has stocked Riley county streams with 31,000 young game fish. Sixteen Kansas girls drew lucky numbers the first day of the Oklahoma lottery. A new paper is to be started in Tepeka to be called the Sunflower Undertaker. In Jewell county one threshing outfit has to haul water nine miles for the engine. Two hundred and fifty-one flouring mills in the state ground 36,355,000 bushels of Kansas wheat last year. Manhattan boasts of more citizens with government positions in Washington than any other town in the state. A Downs youth was kicked around the block for hitting a woman in the face with a rubber ball at a recent street fair. It is said that the drought in Kansas this season killed the canker worm which otherwise would have destroyed the apple crop. The cause of higher education is still forging ahead in Kansas. Five new rooms have been added to McPherson college. A Butler county farmer turned forty-five shoes loose the other day and told his neighbors if they wanted to feed them they could have them. "Longevity" is the subject for a series of articles to be written by a Coffeyville physician who has just celebrated his 99th anniversary. A Salina man who taught his dog to hold the hose in his mouth and water the lawn one evening caught the dog turning the hose on a cat. An Atchison county farmer who lost six stacks of wheat by a flash of fire from the skies, says lightning is always the busiest when it's on a strike. The ministers of Norton hold union services every Sunday night in the park and their congregation is largely attired in mother hubbards and shirt-waists. Not discouraged with that $5,000 spent digging for gas, Abellene has raised another fund of $3,000. They are bound to strike something if they keep on. This is what happened to Jones: He was a traveling bootleger selling beer out of a buggy. When he reached Hutchinson he was fined $100 and thrust in jail. Chanute makes the centipede look like a one-legged veteran. It has a new gas well which, according to the Blade, is possessed of "about 7 million cubic feet." Up at Ottawa the fad of putting straw hats on the horses' heads was in vogue only a few days when a dissatisfied nag ran away and broke into a millinery shop. Hope's city marshal enjoys more unanimous hatred than any other municipal officer in the state. He has either collected taxes upon or killed every dog in his town. Bourbon county's share of the new Indian country recently allotted was 44,800 acres, which is supposed to be worth about ten acres of good land in the Marmaton bottoms. An Atchison girl who was lately married was reported to have a fortune of six figures. Her husband found it true when her father, mother, three sisters and an aunt went to live with them. The record for Kansas for furnishing volunteers is not marred by Summer county, where thirty-one acres of volunteer wheat yielded an average of nineteen bushels to the acre. The wheat this year is the best that Kansas ever raised. This takes away a good deal of the satisfaction which the "kill-joys" might otherwise feel over the failure of the corn crop. Two prominent state officials and their families attended a swell wedding in Topeka last week and boarded a street car for home after the ceremony. Both men discovered that they had no money with them and the whole party had to get off and walk. Dress suits are not handy for carrying cash. Twenty-five years ago Jack Hoyt wooed and won the belle of a New York village. After a month she deserted him and eloped with another man. Since then Hoyt has been known as "Poor Jack," and for some time has been in the Independence jail not as a culprit, but because the insane asylum would not accept him because he was harmless. He has at last been accepted, however, and at the age of 71 "Poor Jack" Hoyt goes to an asylum to end his days. The servant girl problem has been solved in Highland. The beaux take them driving in rubber tired rigs every Sunday afternoon, while the daughter of the house has to hoof it through the dust or mud. Conditions in 1860 Kansas first drought, and this year are vastly different. In 1860 the people had absolutely nothing. Money commanded 60 per cent interest and there was a great surplus of crops and stocks; have $70,000,000 in bank, and plenty of money can be borrowed at 6 per cent interest. A big rat was killed at Emporia the other day by a little hen that put up a fight for her chickens. The suffrage movement in Kansas has not affected the maternal instinct in the animals. A Kansas editor wrote: "Miss Sara Toga Chippus entertained a large number of her friends at her lawn fete the other evening," and the backwoods printer set it up "Miss Sara Toga Chippus entertained a number of her friends with her long feet the even evening." Her big brother entertained the editor with his long feet when the paper came out.
