Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country THE COMPLEXION CHANGED The Conventions of the Two Political Parties May Result In A Negro Candidate. FIGURING ON THE NEGRO VOTE. Since the two political parties have decided to hold the old time delegate convention there is a likelihood of a colored brother entering the field. It is said the wiser heads in Republican ranks are urging that if a Negro candidate is placed on the ticket it will result in bringing the stray Negroes back to the republican party. Some argue that the past treatment of the Negro warrants them in being anything else but Republicans. A number of wise democrats say since the Lilly white organization and the M. R. T's had its origin in Republican ranks—if the republican can stand for one of Ethiopias sons. The democrats can do the same, so it may result in Negroes being placed on both tickets, with the one offering the best part getting the Negro vote. It is argued by some of the more conservative political leaders on both sides that the Negroes will be contented if he inven a deputy in one of the big offices. The republicans have began telling the Negroes that in case the democratic win out-no Negro deputies will be appointed, not even a deputy in the office of County attorney which they have filled with a Negro for the past eight years. It is argued that it will not do to make too many negro delegates to the convention. Many various rumors will be a float ere the election and conventions roll around-we intend to tell things like they are, and intend to tell it all. If you will follow our advice and we are going to tell you the truth and be honest all the way, as we have in the past. In due season we will answer the questions and if you watch our columns you will know how to vote and who to vote for. We want the Negro to get all that coming to him. The time of bull whips is no more. We have been driven like dumb cattle long enough. If our votes cut any figure in the political affairs—Let us demand some consideration in representation or know the reason. HAY MAKING TIME Did you ever stop to think that Sum murs days are passing by you ought to carry a little sum for Mr. Kriimp or make hay while the sunshine.

PLAIN ENGLISH We want it understood that the white man who is a friend in the broad sense of the wood toward the negro has nothing to fear at their hands, we want the progres to to look out for the scalawage and office seakers who will promise them heaven and earth, until they get the office and then kick them into hodes after they get in office. THE KANSAS RECORD. Is the name of a six colum folio up to it and ne way little sheet that we welcome upon the turbulent water of Negro perilism. It is published in this city at Mifft State ave Edited by Prof. W. Wood and managed by Prof. J.C. Wood an all around printer. We hope for the Record a Kansas Record of long years of usefulness could we give you dear brother a leaf from our book of experience—we expect it would be rather frightening. but there is always room at the top we welcome and extend the glad long live the Kansas Record. No Secret Organization. The Kansas City Journal is an authority in there being a secret - negro political organization in this city. If there really exists one in fact. If true, daily papers can tell when it meets name it and all that. There is not much secrecy in the concern. we oppose secret political organization — We taught the M. R. T's an organized gang of white so called Republicans. We started five footed against any negro secret organization that is organized on a basis that we have been informed that clubs we believe in right, justice and manhood as all times whether a black man or white man.

MO., The Annual reports of the Womans Christian Association of Kansas City, Mo., and annual address of Mrs. J. A. Rhee the supreme president the opportunity offered women in the womans christian association ought to inspire every christian heart among the women does not bear such a burden on them as these women, they have denied themselves and sacrificed social pleasure for the salvation of fallen humanity and every prayer they breathe uttered in the humblest way is answered; some degree in the hearts of those she love. When we look around about our city we are impressed and are compelled to say the harvest indeed is truly ripe and our labors are very few. Oh! that pure religion MRS. JULIA A. ROHE. would be aroused that we might shake our self and every pure hearted woman would join hands with the womans christian association and go out in this city and in these club houses and in the dives of this city and all other cities and speak to the fallen women, and young men and tell them that they are not too low for Christ to save them, and tell them their sins be like crimson, Christ said that he will make them white as snow, we can not over estimated the power of womans morals and religious nature for without woman man would indeed be a prodical after having so many sermons preached in his hearing he is yet a rebelius creature and with all that she does she does not do enough to think of the wickedness that is committed in our land and country and yet so many of our women are asleep wake up women arouse and take off your robe of honor and pick up the bible and the hymn books and let us raid these club houses and hold up a pure Christ before the beautiful girls and young men and that will keep the disguised white men from thrusting them into the prison walls, and disgrace the entire race. Wake up and gird your arm in dont think mire highly of yourself then you had ought to think, but think soberly according as God has measured to us the measures of faith. Wake! up dear sisters and think how many thousands of men and women that is down to degradation and fill a drankards grave, and yet we say there is nothing for us to do, but to dress fine and wear beautiful clothes and go to the church, we want women who will heed the cry of religion and to drive out immorality and if women do not wake up and prepare themselves for this great task the God who left it in record to do will punish us for our neglect, we must lay well the foundation of religion and baptis: the souls in the water of truth and richeousness the first request is moral and purity. A pure heart is the foundation of life for the pure is the heart shall see God; one thing we should always regard is benevolence is that the poor and needy may have a large place in our hearts and the sick and suffering should have our sympathy, and when we appear before the world let us appear as a follower of him who went about doing good, let us not appear selfish haughty as if we were God, for he has told us to deny ourselves and take up the cross and follow him, lets heed the spisit of God speaking in our souls and love the meek, and lowly, let us think on this all important subject and begin to make up jewels for the kingdom of heaven we that are strong ought to bear the informative of the weak and not to please yourselves let every one of us please his neighbor for it is good to edify one another, let three women of every church in this city wake up and in the high way, with the pastor to back us we can crowd the church house these beautiful girls and boys that are prequesting the club houses to-day.

CONSUMPTION WALTER Frenzied by jealousy and desperate because of imaginary wrongs, Theoore Oelfeuer shot and instantly killed his wife, fatally wounded his 14-months-old baby, and seriously injured his stepdaughter, Lizzie Stramm, at their home, 27 Twenty-first place, Chicago. Lizzie, the stepdaughter, saved her life by escaping through an open window before Oelfeuer could fire a second shot. Ernest and John Stramm, two stepsons, aged 12 and 8 years, sprang through another window just as Oelfeuer entered the bedroom where they were sleeping to complete his crime. A bullet followed them into the street. The tragedy occurred shortly after 5 o'clock. The streets were thronged with churchgoers, and while they hurried to the scene of the shooting, Oelfeuer with his revolver still clutched in his hand, ran to the rear of the home and opening the door started up the stairs to the garret. At the second landing the murder- TIRIA ADLITA OELFEUER or was confronted by Timothy Dolan, who occupies the flat directly above the one occupied by Oelfeuer. When Dolan attempted to block the man's way he was threatened with death. Dolan stepped aside and Oelfeuer made his way to the attic, where he concealed himself behind a chimney. Meanwhile the crowd, now numbering hundreds, was battering on the floors or throwing stones at the window blinds. They would have broken 'n' the Oelfeuer flat and dragged the man out had not Dolan informed them that he had fled. The Canalport avenue police station only a short distance from the scene of the tragedy and when a man, matless and excited, arrived at the station and notified the police of the crime, Policemen Nihill and Bresnahan were dispatched to the house. They arrived just as the crowd had determined to drag Oelfeuer out of the attic. When the policemen, groping their way through the attic, reached the corner where Oelfeuer was hiding he warned them not to touch him. The policemen continued to advance and the murderer, springing to his feet, pressed his revolver against Nihilh's stomach, at the same time pulling the trigger. But the empty revolver merely clicked and Oelfeuer reached for a second pistol which he had in his pocket. Before he could secure it the policemen overpowered him. The crowd made no attempt at violence as Oelfeuer was led to the police station, although cries of "hang him" were heard at every step. Mrs. Oelfeuer was killed instantly. Theodore Oelfeuer. Miss Stramman, who was shot in the right shoulder, was taken to the county hospital, where it was said she would recover. Walter Oelfeuer, the 14-months-old son, was shot in the left side. The baby, too, was taken to the hospital, where it expired. Mrs. Oelfeuer sustained two wounds, either of which would have caused death, physicians say. One bullet pierced her heart and the second entered the left side of the neck. No quarrel immediately preceded The Oldest Inn in England The Oldest Inn in England. In the village of Norton St. Philip is the George Inn. It claims to be the oldest licensed village alehouse in England, the license dating from 1397. Its appearance is eminently picturase, each story overhanging that beneath, while the front is broken by bay windows, a porch, and a flight of stone steps leading to a doorway in the wall. At the back are more quiet doors and windows, a turret built against the wall and inclosing an outside stair, while in the yard still remains a portion of the old gallery which in the middle ages was found in so many hostelries. Most of the front is timbered. Each gable is surmounted by a curious chimney. A curious feature of the interior is the upper floor, which is of plaster.—The London Travel. Surgical Operation on WOM Both eyes of a wolf in a menagerie at Lyens have been operated upon to attract. After the operation the animal's eyelids were sewn together to prevent it from opening them for several hours. the shooting, although Oelfeuer had been abusing his family for several days. Not a word was uttered by Oelfeuer as he entered the room where his wife, half asleep, lay in bed with her 17-year-old daughter, Lizzie, and her infant son, Walter. The child lay between the mother and daughter. To avoid awakening the sleepers Oelfeuer removed his shoes before approaching; the door to his wife's room. Opening the door he stepped to the side of the bed, placed the revolver close to his wife's breast and fired. A second shot followed immediately, this bullet striking the now dead woman in the neck. The stepdaughter had awakened with the report of the first shot, but before she could stir Oelfeuer had turned the revolver upon her. His aim was bad and the bullet struck the baby. This was not a part of Oelfeuer's purpose. Only the stepchildren were to have been his victims. As Lizzie arose in bed to free from her assailant a second shot struck her WALTER in the right shoulder. Stunned and bleeding she scrambled over the body of her mother and through an open window at the head of the bed, directly opposite the door where Oelfeuer stood. As she reached the sill she heard the revolver click again, but for some reason the cartridge did not explode. As the girl escaped Oelfeuer started for the bedroom of his two stepsons, Ernest and John. The boys had been awakened by the first shots, and guessing the truth were opening the window of their room just as Oelfeuer entered. They fleed through the window and a bullet was fired between them. Ethel Oelfeuer, the 3-year-old daughter of the murderer, was asleep in the room occupied by Ernest and John Stramm. She was not harmed. Death by hanging himself with his undergarments in a cell of the Canal-port avenue police station ended the life of the murderer a few hours after the crime. His underclothing was knotted into a noose and tied high up on the cell door. By throwing his weight upon the improvised rope the murderer had succeeded in strangling himself without making any noise sufficient to be heard in other parts of the station. His coat, waistcoat and suspenders had been taken away from him when he was locked up because the police feared that he might make an attempt on his own life. He passed a sleepless night, but expressed no repentance for his crime. In the early hours of the morning he quieted down and was apparently trying to doze, the officers say, when he was seen alive for the last time. Expensive Seals. The great collection of seals in the British Museum will shortly receive some interesting additions. These are Sir Walter Raleigh's seals of office as governor of Virginia in 1584, warden of the Stannaries of Cornwall and Devon in 1585, and governor of Jersey in 1600, in addition to the great Elizabeth's own family seal. They will become the property of the nation under somewhat novel conditions.

There are also symptoms that the interior of the hill is in an ebullent condition. Scientists incline to the belief that the phenomena observed are volcanic. Another consequence of the earthquake is that Lake Santo, near Modena, which was about 500 yards long and 100 wide, has completely disappeared. Reed's Idea of Fame. Here is a definition of fame given by ex-Speaker Reed at the Bowdow commencement dinner: "Fame," said he, "is largely a matter of accident. Being in the right place at the right time, and doing the right thing, or, better still, making people think you are doing the right thing, is about all there is to fame." This definition gains much in effectiveness when "fame" is pronounced with the ex-speaker's well known drav' GIVES MILLIONS TO CHARITY. John M. Burke, Ninety Years Old, a Generous Philanthropist. Since the announcement of his gift of $4,000,000 as a fund for convalescents, John M. Burke has been forced to instruct his servants not to answer the door bell. Hundreds of persons have called at the unostentatious brown stone house in West Forty-seventh street, New York, all asking for assistance, and many with propositions involving from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands, Mr. Burke continues the even row. A tine of the quiet, almost eccentric life he has led since his retirement from business thirty years ago. He does not hesitate to go to the market himself, and has several times been seen on the street with a basket on his arm. Up to thirty years ago he was part of the life of bustling New York, but in the intervening years he has drawn within himself more and more until when the announcement was made of his stupendous charity few people could recall who the man was. Russell Sage and a few other ancients among the capitalists know him well, and are proud of his acquaintance, but he has few or no friends of this generation. He is just a placid old gentleman of the simplest tastes, who is neither a miser nor a spendthrift. He has no yacht, no horses or carriages, no palace by the seaside, belongs to no clubs, and has no fads. He has never married, his house being kept for him by a housekeeper who has been with him forty years. He has just passed his nineteet birthday. GOES TO MEET HER HUSBAND. Mrs. Peary Will Journey to the Arctic to Welcome Him. Mrs. Robert Edwin Peary, wife of the arctic explorer, who will soon leave for the North to meet her husband and return with him to civilization, has accompanied the daring voyager on more than one of his expeditions. Mrs. Peary's little girl was born on one of these hazardous trips. The explorer's wife was formerly Miss Josephine C. Dietbitsch of Washington, and was married to Leventanat Peary in 1858 while he was yet in his early fame. She has spent three years in the arctics. Two Distinctions. The wealthiest clergyman in the United States was the late Dean Hoffman, whose estate is valued at $25,000,000. The wealthiest judge is Justice P. Henry Dugro of our New York Supreme court. He is variously styled P. Henry, Philip H. and Philip Henry Dugro. The value of Justice Dugro's estate is not known, but it is well up among the millions. Inheriting a large fortune from his father, he has, by shrewd real estate speculation, increased it twenty-fold. He is one of the younger generation of judges, not yet having attained his forty-seventh year, and has been on the bench ever since 1886. Bravery of a Woman. Millie Hennius, the Indian woman of Vancouver, who recently received the medal of the Royal Humane Society, was going with her husband, her three children and a woman friend, in a boat to the north arm of Burrard Inlet. The boat was overturned in a storm. The husband, weighted by a cartridge belt and heavy rubber boots, sank, and was followed by the woman. Mrs. Hennius took her four-year-old child in her teeth, and ordering each of the others to cling to her shoulders, swam, keeping the heads of all three above the icy water for an hour, until rescue came. Elk Is Being Exterminated. The bands of elk that wintered in Jackson Hole country, Wyoming, four years ago were estimated to number 60,000.

HEALTH AND ALL ITS BLESSINGS Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. *With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels.

CULVER LUMBER & MFG. CO. KANSAS CITY, U. S. A. GAMEUNTILEND FRED LEE RICE WAS HANGED IN TORONTO FRIDAY. Rice Killed a Constable in an Effort to Escape—One of His Pals Was Killed in Scrimmage and Another Committed Suicide in Jail—Rice Went to Gallows Calmly. TORONTO—(Special.) Fred Lee Rice was hanged here Friday for the murder of Constable William Boyd, on June 4, 1901. Rice was dressed in a neat fitting suit of dark clothes, with a rose in his coat. He went to the gallows as calmly as if he were going to an evening party. When he awoke Friday morning he received his spiritual adviser and spent a quarter of an hour in silent prayer. When the hangman entered the cell he was received smilingly by the condemned man. Rice mounted the steps of the gallows without a tremor, and his execution followed a few moments later. His body was handed over to his mother, who started with it for his late home in Illinois. Rice, together with Frank Rutledge and Thomas Jones was on trial for robbing the postoffice at Aurora. While being conveyed from the courthouse to the jail on the day of the murder, a package in which were two revolvers was thrown into the carriage. County Constable William Boyd and Walter Stewart were in the cab with the prisoners. In the struggle for the package, Rice got a revolver and shot Boyd. He then pointed it at Stewart, who gave up and told the prisoners to "get out." As soon as they left, Stewart drew his revolver and fired after the prisoners as they were boarding a passing car. One of the shots struck Jones in the groin and the arm. The prisoners were overpowered and taken to the jail. Meanwhile, Boyd had been taken to the hospital, where he died. A few days later, Jones was also taken to the hospital, his arm amputated and he, too, died. The day after the fight, Rice and Rutledge were brought into court and their trial was continued, resulting in their conviction and sentence to Kingston penitentiary for twenty-one years. Rutledge committed suicide by hurling himself from a balcony in the jail to a stone floor below. A charge of murder was then laid against Rice, and he was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. Rice came from Champaign, Ill., where his people are highly respected. Every effort has been made to have the death sentence commuted to life imprisonment. KILLED IN FREIGHT WRECK. Two Engineers and a Fireman Meet Death in a Collision. RHINELANDER, WIS.—(Special.) In a head-end collision of freight trains on the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie road Saturday afternoon, Charles Johnson and William Raymond, engineers, and J. A. Anderson, fireman, were killed, and Frank Thorpe, a brakeman, was seriously injured. The wreck occurred two miles west of Pembine. The two trains crashed together at full speed. Sixty cars heavily loaded went into a ditch, and catching fire, were consumed. The men killed leave families at Gladstone, Mich. Can't Keep This Banker in Jail. WAHOO, NEB.—(Special.) Judge Sornerberger has granted a writ of habeas corpus releasing from custody George Gould, who was bound over to the district court of Butte county on a charge of being an accessory to the wrecking of the Bellwood State bank. Gould has been three times arrested on the same charge. Twice he has secured his release through habeas corpus proceedings and was once discharged on preliminary examination. Borders on Miraculous. WASHINGTON...(Special.) Superintendent Kimball, of the life saving station, has received a report from Captain Ludlam of the Hereford inlet life saving station, at Anglesa N. J., of the remarkable resuscitation of Stanley Holmes, a 5-year old boy, after he had been under water twenty-five minutes. Within four hours after the body was removed from the water, the child regained consciousness. Brought Back From Colorado OKLAHOMA CITY. O. T.—(Special.) William Barry, who is charged with having committed perjury in a murder case here, was brought back from Colorado Saturday morning. He gave sensational testimony in the Brown-McMichael murder case and then disappeared. He is now in jail. He claims that he was sandbagged and kidnapped and exhibits a bad wound on his head to prove his assertion. Colorado Train Bobbery SALIDA, COL.—(Special). Five masked men held up the westbound passer car train on the Denver & Rio Grande narrow gauge line, running from Salida to Grand Junction, at 8:40 o'clock Tuesday morning. The robber occurred at Mill Switch, two miles east of Chester. The passengers were robbed and both safes in the express car were broken open with dynamite and their contents taken. Neither adversity nor prosperity ever changes a man; each merely brings out what there is in him. Quayquill's Great Fire GUAYQUIL. ECUADOR.—(Special.) The fire which broke out here at 9 o'clock Thursday night was extinguished Saturday night after having destroyed ninety blocks on some of the principal streets of the city. The loss on buildings and merchandise is estimated at $5,000,000. The burned buildings include the custom house and railway station. The city is without gas and the only water to be had is that taken from the river Guayas. LOST THEIR STRIKE. Chicago Freight Handlers Have Returned to Work. CHICAGO. — (Special.) Renewed activity on the part of Chicago business men followed the settlement of the freight handlers and teamsters' strike Wednesday, and at the close of business hours thousands of tons of freight had been sent to and from the various freight depots. Every one of the 24,000 strikers who could obtain emulloyment had returned to work by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The strike, it is estimated, cost the business men of $110,000,000, and in order to guard against such a contingency in the future they are preparing to inaugurate an educational campaign in opposition to the sympathetic strike. The labor unions will be asked to forego the use of this potent weapon. The business interests which suffered through the strike will join in pledging themselves, it is said, not to sign union agreements which do not guard them against these strikes. On the other hand, the labor unions are fighting to secure the right to abrogate agreements for the purpose of ordering sympathetic strikes. The freight handlers blame the national officers of the teamsters for the loss of the strike. They declare that the strike shows the necessity for incorporating in all agreements a reservation which will permit strikes. Credit for the settlement rests with the state board of arbitration. It was the adoption of the suggestions of that board which led to the action of the Freight Handlers' union in declaring the struggles with the railroad at an end. AN OIL FIELD ON FIRE. Tanks and Derricks at Jennings, La, Are Being, Destroied JENNINGS. LA.—(Special.) During a heavy electrical storm that passed over the Jennings oil field Wednesday, a bolt of lightning struck the field storage tanks of the Jennings Oil Company, setting them on fire. The flames spread to the derricks of the company adjoining and in a short time the derricks and tanks were destroyed. Burning streams of oil from the tanks ran in the direction of the coulee. All workmen on the field immediately stopped operations and set about throwing up levees to prevent, as far as possible, the spreading of the fire. In a short time, however, another tank had broken loose and the wind had driven the flames into the derricks of the Southern, Northern and Crescent Oil Companies, but they, in some manner, escaped destruction. The fire is still raging and the safety of the field depends upon the strength of Jennings No. 2. The oil is leaking around this tank aid, together with the gas, is burning fiercely, sending a blaze high into the air, and the entire field is threatened. WAYLAID AND SLAIN. Two Women and a Man Killed as They Were Returning from Church. They Were Returning from Church. ATOKA, I. J. T.—(Special.) Near Stringtown Saturday night Mrs. Daniel Grant, her daughter, Mrs. Jack Reeves, and a man named Nuckels were waylaid and killed while returning from church. Mrs. Reeves had been separated from her husband about eight months, and prior to that time the couple had lived with the Grant family. Saturday night Nuckels, who had been paying attention to Mrs. Reeves, accompanied her to church. As they were returning to the Grant Home, they were halted. Nuckels was made to get out of the wagon and was shot. Mrs. Grant was shot while she was sitting in the wagon. Then, as the team bolted, Mrs. Reeves was shot. Mrs. Grant and Nuckels were killed instantly and Mrs. Reeves lived only a few minutes. The identity of the murdered is not known. INTENDED TO KILL A KING. Barber Named Tonetti Arrested in Italy LONDON.—(Special.) A dispatch from Milan, Italy, to the Daily Telegraph, reports the arrest by the police at Bra, near Turin, of a young barber who recently arrived there from Paterson, N. J. The prisoner gives his name as Tonetti, which is believed to be assumed, and confesses that he is an anarchist. Papers which were seized at his domicile include correspondence with Paterson anarchists, and a document indicating that it was Tonetti's intention to assassinate King Victor Emanuel, who frequently traverses Bra in a motor car on his way to his private estates. Shot by Fellow Tramn DES MOINES, IA.—(Special). Chas. J. Feyhner, of Fond du Lac, Wils., aged 22. and Rudolph Seifert, aged 29. of Austro-Hungary, were shot during a quarrel with two tramps with whom they were beating a ride on a Northwestern freight train, near Boone, early Saturday. Feyhner will probably die. Seifert may recover. Their assailants escaped. Alleged Robbers Arrested. ARDMORE, I. T.—(Special.) Government officials made three important arrests Friday night near Ada, when Will O'Brien, Frank and Charles Harris were captured, charged with robbing the postoffice at Francis recently. Many stores in the vicinity of Madill, Oakland and Ravia have been robbed lately. Deputy marshals claim to have evidence that the men arrested belong to an organized gang that has seen working among towns in the territory and Arkansas. Fort Reno Deserter Caught. OKLAHOMA CITY, I. T.—(Special, Sylvester Lewis was identified and arrested here Saturday as one of the soldiers who deserted a few weeks ago from the regular army at Fort Reno. At the time two other soldiers deserted and two of the buildings at the fort were burned. It was discovered afterward that the cash drawer of the company had been robbed of several hundred dollars. Lewis was taken to Fort Reno, where he will be tried by court-martial. MAYRENEWAR THERE IS MUCH BITTER FEELING AMONG THE BOERS. AND MANY DISCORDANT ELEMENTS Whole Situation "Bristles With Difficulties"—Burghers Who Fought to the End Have No Use for Those Who Quit Earlier—Many Declare They Were Mised. PRETORIA.—(Special.) The settlement of the annexed territories is not being accomplished without considerable friction. This is especially noticeable in the bitter hatred and persecution on the part of the Boers who stayed in the field to the end of the war against the Boers who served as British scouts. It is said that some of the scouts have been shot or beaten. So intense is the feeling that many of the burghers who fought consistently to the end distinguish themselves from those who surrendered during the war by wearing a green badge. The Transvaal and Free State colors are also freely worn, and the custom is encouraged by the Dutch who did not take an active part in the war. Many of the burghers declare they were induced to agree to surrender by the false representations of their leaders, who painted the terms too rosily. Discordant elements are numerous and any attempt to place the burghers who surrendered during the war in authority over those who fought throughout will conceivably result in a renewal of hostilities. The majority of the Boers have apparently in no way abandoned their nationality and some of them preach the advisability of opening Dutch schools, so as to keep alive their nationality. The whole situation so bristles with difficulties that there are not lacking those who doubt if the document signed May 31 was really the final settlement of the South African trouble. CAPSIZED IN A SQUALL. Two Persons Drowned and Others of Party Have Narrow Escapes. CHICAGO.—(Special.) Two persons perished in the lake Tuesday night and eight others fought hours for life, clinging to the overturned yacht, Arab IV., owned by John N. Cameron, cashier of the National Bank of the Republic. The yacht, struck suddenly by the fierce storm which swept over the city late in the evening, capsized. The boat is a 21-footer and one of the best known yachts in the harbor. The dead: Mary Taylor, 16 years old, 141 Fifty-first street. Harry Jensen, 17 years old. The rescued: John H. Cameron. Mrs. Mary Phoenix Cameron, his wife. Miss Cameron. Miss Mamie Goodman. William Corey. E. S. Haskins. Arthur Barber, skipper of the Arab IV. One Unknown. When the storm struck the yacht, no attempt had been made to reef sail, and, with all its canvas flying, the boat, with ten merrymakers aboard who were wholly unconscious of danger, went over in a flash, filled instantly and left eight persons struggling for life in the waters of the lake, three miles from shore. The life-saving crew finally got the eight ashore. Attacked by a Dog. BALTIMORE—(Special). Congressman Frank C. Wachter was badly bitten in both hands Wednesday while heroically endeavoring to defend his little daughter, Hattie C. Wachter, from the attack of a large St. Bernard dog. The daughter was also badly bitten. Mrs. Wachter, who witnessed the onslaught, is completely prostrated by nervous shock. A physician quickly cauterized the wounds. The dog was killed by a policeman. Threat Met With Threat HELENA, MONT.—(Special.) The Helena Water Works Company notified the city Wednesday that its bill for June not having been paid, it would shut off water for fire and sewer purposes at noon on July 24. The city served the company with notice that should it attempt to shut off water it would be prosecuted for contempt under the order of the late Judge Horace R. Buck, made in 1895, and that steps would be taken to forfeit its franchise. Laborer Found $7,500 in Currency. BERLIN. — (Special.) A laborer walking on the beach at Eckenfoerde, Prussia, on an inlet of the Baltic, recently picked up a pocketbook containing $7,500 in notes, which an American had dropped in the water from a yacht during the regattas. The finder learned that the American was still yachting at Kiel, returned him the money and was rewarded. Bride Elopes. Groom Waits WHEELING, W. VA.—(Special.) At Montrose, W. Va. Sunday night, while the wedding guests and the minister were waiting, the bride, Miss Irvine Thompson eloped with W. R. Rennix, who took her to the nearest railway station and proceeded to Cumberland, where they were married. Miss Thompson was to have been married to P. H. Wifling. The wedding party, parents and would-be groom gave chase, but when they reached the depot they found the train disappearing around the hill. The Nerve of a Messenger Boy. WHEELING, W. VA—(Special.) In full view of several hundred peeple, Theodore McGrane, a messenger boy, Tuesday jumped from the suspension bridge over the Ohio river, a distance of 150 feet for a patry sum. A professional high diver failed to appear, whereupon young McGrane, who was one of the assembled spectators, quietly announced that he would make the leap. He disdained a skiff that hurried to him and swam the fifty miles to shore, landing without a bruise. REPUBLICANS CONVENE. Meet at Joplin and Nominate Supreme Judges JOPLIN.—(Special.) Henry Lamm of Sedalia; Moses Whybark, of Farmington, and Edward Higbee, of Schuyler county, were Tuesday nominated for the supreme bench by the Republicans of Missouri. Edward C. Elliot, o St. Louis, was nominated for judge of St. Louis court of appeals. In the briefest manner possible, the convention reaffirmed the Philadelphia national and the Jefferson City state platforms. All politics were barred Senator Burton, of Kansas, was tacitly indorsed by the adoption of a resolution of thanks for a speech he made in which Kansas was congratulated for having such an able representative in Washington. Cumulative voting was compromised On the first and only ballot, each delegate was allowed to vote for three candidates, with the understanding that the three high men of all receiving a majority of the total votes cast, should be declared the nominees of the convention. The day was insufferably hot, the heat intensified by the tent in which the delegates sat. President Roosevelt's name was not cheered—the delegates were too listless; yet, when the name of Mark Hanna was mentioned there was an outburst of applause. In short order the eastern half of the state organized to hold its convention to nominate a candidate for the St. Louis court of appeals. The officers of the state convention were chosen to preside, all committees were dispensed with. Edward C. Elliot, of St. Louis, was nominated by a vote of 168 to 143 for Judge Neville of Springfield, and the convention adjourned inside of fifteen minutes. In the most offhand way, Chairman Russel declared the state convention reconvened, the action of the appellate convention was announced and the crowd cleared out. It was not yet 5 o'clock. Judge Elliot is a member of the St. Louis school board. His father was the first chancellor of Washington university. THREE TOWNS WRECKED. Tornado in North Dakota Caused Heavy Loss. ST. PAUL, MINN.—(Special.) Tremendous damage and it is thought great loss of life were caused by a terrific windstorm which early Tuesday evening swept in a southwestern direction from the international boundary across the northeastern portion of North Dakota. Three towns, Borup Eldorado and Thompson, according to the meager reports which were obtainable at midnight, Tuesday, were totally wiped out. Telegraph lines are wrecked and there is no communication with the section of the state where the most serious devastation is thought to have been worked by the tornado. ILLINOIS COLLISION. Extra Engine Meets Construction Train Under Full Headway. PEORIA, ILL.—(Special). Two killed, one fatally injured and several more or less seriously injured, is the story of a wreck on the Toledo, Peoria &Western railway Sunday afternoon The dead: Peter Icenogle, Washington, instantly killed. —— Taylor, El Paso, instantly killed. The injured: Ambrete Pierce, El Paso, skull fractured, is in dying condition. John Le Page, St. Louis, collarbone broken and severe scalp wound. Stewart Meyers, Louisville, Ky., bruised about back and suffering from shock. Joseph W. Morgan, Eureka, Ill., five r'bs broken, collarbone fractured and bruised about neck, head and body. 3 All the injured are members of a construction crew, except Le Page and Meyers, who are traveling salesmen. An extra engine and caboose were coming toward Peoria at a slow speed having received word to be on the lookout for the construction train when the two met on a reverse curve, the construction train going at a high rate of speed. The engine of the construction train was imbedded in the immense mogul and all the care were wrecked, two of them being telescoped. HAVE ABANDONED HOPE Parents of Frank Ely Rogers Give Up the Search. CHICAGO.—(Special.) On the anniversary of the disappearance of Frank Ely Rogers from his home in Evanston, the parents of the boy have abandoned hope of being able to find him through the agencies that they have employed. Their only hope now is that the boy will return some time of his own accord. A year ago young Rogers, then 13 years old, and his aunt, Miss Florence Ely, left, and nothing has been heard of them since. Frank C. Rogers, the boy's father, has kept up a continuous search since that time. He has spent a fortune, it is said, in payment for the work of police and private detectives. His latest plan was the circulation of endless chain letters. Several thousand of these were sent out. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS The President's yacht, Mayflower which has just been refitted, left the Brooklyn navy yard Monday, bound for Oyster Bay. A postoffice has been established at Shewder, Greer county, O. T., with Riley D. Curtitt as postmaster. Walter N. Chapman of Colorado.

The name of the postoffice at Newton, Chickasaw nation, Ind. Ter., has been changed to Francis, with William T. Meadora, as postmaster. The caar has confirmed the sentence of twelve years' imprisonment at hard labor passed upon Colonel Grimm, who was convicted at Warsaw, June 14, of revealing Russian military secrets to a foreign power. Kansas Notes --- This will be a great year for "breakfast foods." The oat crop in Cowley county is threshing out 104 bushels to the acre. According to the Grant county Republican a young lady out here has such a beautiful neck that she wears a barb wire necklace. Thre of the six prisoners in the Oswego jail escaped last week and the people of Lafayette county have visions of a very Traceyesque time. Kansas never expected the price of corn to remain at ninety cents, corner or no corner. If it will hover around fifty cents Kansas will feel well repaid. Is there none to accommodate the First National Bank of Columbus? It is advertising for some one to borrow $25,000 which it doesn't know what to do with. A crop report gathered by a grain trade journal indicates that this year's wheat will not exceed 35,000,000 bushels. A man in Kickapoo sold a billy goat last week for $60. "Nobody but a Kansas man," declares a local enthusiast, "could have got sixty cents for him." Two Arkansas City men have gone to Thunder Mountain in quest of gold, and one of the papers, for the sake of brevity, notes that they have gone to Thunder. If Lawrence begins to manifest an unusual itching, the rest of the state may know why. Ex-Cancellor Snow has returned from Western Kansas with samples of 10,000 kinds of insects. Captain R. M. Spivey of Topeka has been made "inspector of eating houses" for the Santa Fe system. Mr. Spivey has for many years been the general passenger and ticket agent of a boarding house in Topeka. Wichita has fourteen automobiles, and the swagger set feels justified in trying to pronounce "chaufeur." A debating society in Emporia is about to wrestle with the subject, "Do the people who own parrots enjoy the noise they make?" A farmer's wife near Pratt asked one of the harvest hands at dinner what part of the chicken he preferred. "It doesn't matter," he said, "either half will do." John Gage knocked "Willie" Bell out in the first round of a prize fight at Leavenworth. Saturday. A Harper man has just been granted a patent on a buggy top with curtains which will hide the occupants of a vehicle completely. Now if he will invent some way to deaden the smack, his fortune will be made. A tramp who went to the kitchen door of an Augusta woman's house found her wedding ring hanging on a nail in the casing and stole it. The woman told the town marshal that the ring was worth only about $5, and made her husband rip roaring mad Kansas farmers believe that stubble fields are great generators and conductors of heat and are, hence, hot wind producers. On account of this belief a great deal of stubble will be ploughed under during the coming two weeks. The Leavenworth Standard tells of a woman who dropped her pocketbook on the corner of Delaware and Main streets the other day and, returning two hours later, found it still there. The Standard thinks this is an evidence of the wonderful honesty of Leavenworth people. It is believed the Concordia correspondent who said the Republican river was four miles wide in some places in Cloud county must have been looking up stream instead of across. A bald headed patent medicine fakir struck Fredonia the other day and did a rushing business selling hair tonic. Even those who ought to know best the folly of trifling with explosives are sometimes picked as victims. Sheriff Seitz of McPherson county held a lighted "giant" cracker too long and it cost him a thumb and one finger. A Washington county man who has been visiting in the East tells of a narrow escape he had in Boston. A friend was showing him the various charitable institutions and asked it: he would like to see the Widows' home. "Not by a durned sight," he replied. "I saw a widow home once and it cost me $,000 to beat a suit for breach of promise." The body of Private Ritchie, who jumped off a street car into the Republican river at Fort Riley, Kan., and was drowned, has been found in the Kaw at St. George. F. G. Crowell, one of the regents of the state university, refers to the great institution as "the most distinguished pauper in the state." Its appropriations for maintenance are only $30,000 larger than they were fifteen years ago. A man went into a dry goods store in Atchison a few days ago, the Globe says, and wanted to look at some ten cent socks. He said he wanted them fancy as the black ones wore out quickly.
