From 8 o'clock in the morning until close to 6 in the evening there are 5,000 typewriters grinding out letters for the United States government. During these hours there are, of course, 5,000 typewriter girls busily hammering the machines. Uncle Sam is the largest employer of typists in the country and should be the patron saint of the typewriter girl. The amount of manuscript his workers turn out would make even Clyde Fitch look dizzy. Uncle Sam is the nicest kind of a man for typewriter girls to work for. He pays large salaries and he supplies his workers with everything they want. If a girl expresses a preference for a certain kind of machine she gets it. She does not have to sit down and try to pound a typewriter she does not LOST- A little white bull dog seversl days ago was lost on his right ear two small spots on his left ear he has one small black spot, any one seeing a dog of this description you will indeed favor me by returning it to Isac Truman 1042 terommee ave, for which I will give the bearer $3.00 A New Shop Open A·J.

It is not a sort of occupation in which one sex should come in competition with the other, at least in this country. In various parts of the Old World female drudges are yoked on farms with the beasts of the field. America would regard such a degradation of woman wood with unbounded scora and loathing; and in the guidance of elevators women are out of place.

The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, par. tel lines of clouds sometimes make their appearance at a great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads—Chicago Chronicle. Mr J. J. Boberson one of the oldest and best citizens in the city has recently bee n employed asone of the hands on the street department.

We are glad to announce that the colored people of Jacksonville, Fla., have settled the separate car question in that city. We note that the Times-Union, the morning daily, has to say of the project: The North Jacksonville Electric railway was opened for business yesterday after noon, and three of their cars were placed on the track. arriving at the corner of Clay and Bay streets shortly after 2 o clock, where over 500 colord people were waiting to see the cars of the new line. "Most of the owners of this road are we will know colored citizen, and the cars are managed by colored motormen and conductors No sooner had the first car arrived at the end of the road than it was literally packed with colored people anxious to ride on the car line, owned and operated by their own race." With our banks, business enterprises street railway, we will soon open all the necessary avenue to Negro prosperity. "We's gitting thar, sure." We learn there are several names men tioned for state senator from this county and among them, James A. Getty is spoken of. If Mr Getty should consent to make the race which it is believed he will, the people of this county would no doubt make no mistake in electing him It seems indeed that the time has come since the population of this city and county has grown so large, that it is the duty of every tax-payer and loyal citizen to stop seeking men to place in such responsible positions simply bee ause they like the man, but the question to consider is he possessed with that true spirit of honesty and fair dealing between man and man? Has he the ability to perform the duties of the office for which he aspires, and represents his constituency in a creditable maner? We can say with out fear of successful contradiction James A. Getty has the ability and is possessed with all that is necessary to make one of the ablest and best representatives this county has ever had in the senate chamber. In fact it is conceded by all who know him he stands second to none in his profession as a lawyer in this state. Miss Ether Shreves of 538 Neb: ave. and J·w.

A WELL KNOWN Among the familiar faces to be met in the thorough fares of this city none are more recognizable than the man whose likeness we here produce For many years the subject of this sketch has been one of the most prominent figure in the largest number of secret fraternities than any other individual of colorin the city, perhaps in the state. There is scarcely a man, woman or child who does not know Rev., (Father) Davis. This venerable old gentleman while active in secret fraternities does not falter in the discharge of his religious duties. He is one of the founders of the metropolitan Baptist church, in this city. Father For many years he pastored with credit the first Baptist church of Holliday Ka A. B. nsas Father Davis he is generally called is one of those men that are proud of the achievements of the race and is thoroughly interested in their undertakings Rev. Organ Davis was born in Liberty, Mo., 1842, and came to Kansas City, to live in 1869 In 1877 he was married to Miss Marie Holliday of this city, two children being the result of this union All have preceeded him to the realms of another world, his wife having died, in 1893, in this city. Rev. Davis entered in the ministers in 1857, and has kept the faith and labored untrightly through all the long years that have come and gone Father Davis is a member of the Masonic fraternity, having held many different offices both local and state is a Knight of Phythas a United Brother, of Frendship, a good Samaritan, identified with the Ladies chapter of court of Calanthe and the Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem. His experience in lodge work is almost unparalleled. His present activity and general health give promise of many more years of usefulness. It looks very much like that in the future the Negro in the South must set the fast growing Negro problem in the north. A man who states facts will always have some one to hear and defend him.

READ BODIES OF MAN AND WOM- AN FOUND IN STREET. Was It Murder and Sulcide or Double Murder?—Revolver in Man's Hand With Four Empty Chambers, but There Were More Than Four Shots Fired—Woman's "Husband" Held. CHICAGO. — (Special.) Early Wednesday morning the dead bodies of Harriet Elizabeth Weber and Inoueli Talamini, a marble cutter, wereOUND on Lexington avenue, just south of Fifty-fourth street. Both had been shot twice, and while there are indications that the man shot the woman and then killed himself, there are other injuries to the case that make it somewhat mysterious. Arthur M. Laurie, whom the dead woman had made for home, will be held by the police until after the inquest. There is no evidence connecting him with the shooting, but he is detained as a witness. The shots that killed the man and woman were heard by residents in the neighborhood about 1 o'clock in the morning. No move was made to investigate the shooting, however, and killing was known of the tragedy until this morning, when the bodies were recovered by a newspaper carrier. The body of the woman was identified in a short time as that of "Mrs. Marie," but when Laurie was brought the police station he said she was his wife and that he did not know a man whose body was found with her. In going through the effects of Miss Weber an envelope was found addressed, evidently in the handwriting of a man, to Inocenti Talamini. In taking Talamini to find what he might now of the woman or the shooting, officers identified the dead man as Talamini himself. No cause is known by Talamini should have shot the woman, but she had told several of her friends the day before of a Jew who had been following her, and of mom she was afraid. Talamini has a terrible countenance and it is the general theory that he shot her because he refused to marry him. The woman, when found, had been not twice, through the left arm and through the breast. Talamini was shot once, once through the neck and once guard through the chin, the bullet coming out at the top of his head. In man's hand was a revolver with our chambers discharged, accounting for the four shots fired. The people lying in the neighborhood where the agency occurred declare that more than four shots were fired, and one bullet crashed through the window of Mrs. Caswell, at 5410 Lexington avenue. These facts have led the police to be aware that there may have been a third party to the shooting, although there is so far no direct proof that such as the fact. The Weber woman is a native of Detroit, Mich., having come from that city several years ago. WILL NOT ADMIT FILIPINO. E School Board of Princeton, Ind., Draws the Color Line.

Philanthropist Plans to Form a Montana Town. SYRACUSE.—(Special.) John Hazeltine, who is well known throughout Central New York as a philanthropist, and first superintendent of the Municipal Lodging House, of this city, announced recently that he was planning to take a colony of 1,000 Syracuse people to Montana to establish a town. Mr. Hazeltine, through his charitable work, has obtained a list of practically all the poor people of the city, and it is from them that he proposes to select his colonists. He expects every one, however, to have $50 when starting on the trip. He states that he has been in communication with four families who went from this section a year ago to Montana, and it is upon their statements that he undertakes to found his town. He says that fertile lands can easily be obtained from the government, and the question of making a good living and having a surplus at the end of the year is simply one of work. He is enthusiastic in the project, believing that the settling of Western lands by poor people from Eastern cities will solve the problem of relieving poverty.

NO BOCUS BRANDS NOW BEING USED Product is Sold as "Kansas Hard Wheat Flour" — Kansas Millers Feared New Policy Might Hurt Business for a Time, but They Have Been Agreeably Disappointed TOPEKA, KAN.—(Special.) Reports which are reaching the officers of the Kansas Millers' Association here are to the effect that the mills of the state are running at their full capacity, and have orders for several months in advance. The millers are refusing to brand their products as anything other than Kansas flour. They decided upon this action last summer, and they were afraid that the result would be very injurious to their trade during the first year. However, the price of flour has been advanced and they are still getting more orders than they can fill. The export market is better than it has ever been. The first of the new wheat flour which has reached the foreign markets has caused a demand for more. The millers ascribe this demand for the Kansas wheat to the position which they took on the subject of selling their flour under their own brands and to the advertising which their flour and wheat has received during the last year. The London millers have written to their friends in this state asking them what is the matter with the Kansas millers and why they are asking more than usual for their flour. Some of the foreign millers are suggesting that possibly Kansas millers do not want trade and have declared that the latter have taken the proper course to lose it. However, the orders still come from foreign merchants and millers faster than they can be filled. By way of showing the foreigners why they are asking big prices and getting them, the millers have put into circulation among their friends ELECTRIC WHI ELECTRIC WHIP FOR HORSES Diagram showing how electric whip is used. A unique device for the cure of balky horses by means of an electric shock has recently been tried in Chicago. Under its influence a horse whose owners have been making ineffectual attempts to break it for over a year was induced to start up instantly and gallop down the street as though its past bad habits had been entirely forgotted. the following from the Saturday Evening Post, written by Clarence H. Matson, a Kansan, who is well versed in agricultural subjects: The greater part of the wheat grown in Kansas is known as "Turkey red," a hard winter variety. Wheat is known as "winter" and "spring" according to the time of seeding. Winter wheat is sown in the fall and furnishes rich pasturage during the late autumn and part of the winter; spring wheat is sown early in the spring months. Nearly all Kansas wheat is sown in the fall and the farmers who have live stock feed their cattle and horses on it for several months. "Turkey red" wheat was first brought to Kansas in 1874 by a party of Russian Mennonites, who had raised it in Crimea. It was very hardy and yielded better than the soft wheats which had been grown previous to that time. The Kansas farmers recognized its worth and it spread over several counties in the wheat belt. The mills were not adapted to grinding the hard, flinty grain, and the millers refused to pay as much for it as for soft wheat, but it was such a good crop that the farmers persisted in raising it. At length the millers remodeled their plants, putting in machinery for properly grinding the hard wheat. Then people had to be educated to use it. Its flour is not so white as that of soft wheat, and housewives consequently thought it did not make so LONDON.—(Special.) In a pretty cottage covered with wisteria at Market Harbough resides Miss Hannah Brown, who was born in the same house 105 or 106 years ago. The woman, who some years back had her garden path tiled to enable her to enjoy a daily promenade, is in fairly good health. She has a happy and contented countenance and can converse freely. good bread. No other grain, however, is so rich in gluten, the material which makes it especially valuable for bread, as Kansas hard wheat, and this fact gradually became recognized, and today it is extensively used, especially in Europe, for mixing with soft wheats in order to supply the necessary gluten to produce a good bread flour. Especially is this the case in Germany, and not long ago a large milling concern at Hamburg announced an increase in its capital stock in order to remodel its plant so that it could devote itself exclusively to grinding Kansas hard wheat. The soft wheats are more starchy, and are, therefore, better for crackers, pastry and cakes, but they are not so rich in food value as the glutinous hard wheat. About 40 per cent of the Kansas wheat crop is utilized by Kansas mills and a considerable portion goes to mills in other states for bleeding with soft wheats, but millions of bushels go direct to the great markets for export. THREE TREASURE SHIPS IN. They Brought $1,250,000 in Alaskan Gold to Seattle SEATTLE, WASH.—(Special.) Seattle's gold receipts from the North Saturday amounted to $1,250,000.

CASH WAS THE WEAPON THEY USED England and Germany Had a Hand in It, Also—It Did Not Require a Very Large Fund, for Colombians Do Not Come High—Transcontinental Roads Could Easily Afford Expense. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) In diplomatic circles it is freely asserted that England and Germany brought about the defeat of the Panama canal ratification. Around the interstate commerce rooms there is a smile and it is talk that the continental railroads did the business in Colombia. That the loss of freight to the roads in one day would amount to enough which if applied rightly would defeat ratification by the Colombian congress. Carefully estimating things, it appears that foreign and home influences worked jointly to defeat the canal. The two may have been represented by the same agent. It is not hard to buy officials in that country, not as hard as here in the postoffice department, in St. Louis or in the Indian Territory. It would have been hard to get the Panama canal scheme approved by certain officials in the postoffice department and hard to get it through the St. Louis council or the Missouri legislature or to get it approved in the Indian country, provided there was a bunch of money in opposition. There was plank cash opposition to the acceptance of the plan by Colombia and money was in evidence. These facts seem to be established. Then where did it come from? Certainly not from those who wanted the treaty to pass. The canal scheme passed congress when it was more expensive to defeat it in Colombia. Pile provisions on it requiring acceptance and then defeat acceptance. This play to defeat the canal and protect the long haul was followed and succeeded with the foreign aid cheerfully given. This is the story of the wonderful victory for commerce in the twentieth century. The Nicaragua comes next, but the same influence may be there. Some people may suspect it will. If the same result follows then it may be suspected that it was produced by the same cause. But that is another story, although a continuation of the same story. DYNAMITE IN ROAD. Paymaster Killed, His Secretary Hurt, and $3,600 Stolen. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) A murder and robbery occurred Friday afternoon on the Middleton road, about fifteen miles from here. Samuel T. Ferguson, of the Ferguson Construction Company, of Pittsburg, was instantly killed and his secretary, Charles L. Martin, of Cincinnati, was fatally injured. The two men were driving along the road in a buggy, carrying $3.600 in cash with which to pay off some of their men employed on construction work along the line of the Wabash railroad, when suddenly an explosion of dynamite in the roadway literally tore the rig to pieces, killed Ferguson outright and threw Martin 200 feet, tearing his left arm almost from the socket. It has been learned that two men, supposed to be Poles, placed the dynamite in the road for the purpose of killing Paymaster Ferguson and had arranged to explode it by means of an electrical battery. The satchel containing the money is missing. Seeking Parents of Dead Son. GUTHRIE, O. T.—(Special.)

BAXTER SPRINGS, KANSAS I received the free sample for five years I have had much pain in my back, which physicians arose from. Doan's Kidney Pills have entirely cured the trouble. I would like to give pills, and I want others to know it." SADIE DAVIS, Baxter Springs, KANSAS FALMOUTH, VA — "I suf- fered over twelve months with pain in the small of my cheeks, gave only temporary relief. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me!" S. B. SHOWN. Foreign Army Statistics. In Russia 2,810 mea in every million are annually called into the army; in Germany, 4,120; in France, 5,620. To get so large a number of Frenchmen, weaklings have to be taken. This makes the mortality in the French army three and a half times that of the German army. Still a Few Left. The bishop of Durham complains that the English language will soon consist of nothing but slang and initials.

Fate, Tex., Sept. 21st.-Texas has seldom, if ever, had such a profound sensation, as that caused by the introduction recently of a new remedy for Kidney diseases. This remedy has already been tried in thousands of cases, and in almost every case the results have been wonderful. Henry Vaughan, of Rural Route, No. 3, Fate, says of it: "I suffered with Kidney Trouble for over 18 months. I was very bad and could get nothing to help me till I heard of the new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills. I began to use these pills, and very soon found myself improving. I kept on and now I can say I am absolutely cured and free from any symptom of my old trouble. "I am very glad I heard of this wonderful remedy and I would strongly advise anyone suffering with Kidney trouble to try it, for I know it will cure." Wants More Mirth Dr. James Sully, the eminent Washington psychologist, claims to have proved by long observation and a series of mechanical experiments that society's ban against hearty laughter as "bad form" is producing a mirtleless and sour-suigrace race People in the "smart set," says Dr. Sully, do not laugh as their forefathers did because they think that to do so would be quite vulgar. Cause and Effect. It is said that Dr. Weir Mitchell, returning late from a party in a neighboring city once, awakened his sister to tell her what he thought was too good to keep till morning. A lady had been introduced to him, and, considering him a scientific man, wished to direct her conversation accordingly. "Doctor," said she, "don't you think the cause of so much sickness is the want of sozodont in the air?" Two Good Reasons A good-looking young woman who was brought before the police judge of Omaha charged with holding her skirts too high on a rainy day showed the magistrate how high she had lifted them, and was discharged. "Evidently," says an Omaha paper, "there were two good reasons for her lifting her skirts, and the judge saw them."—Roller Monthly. Highest Railway.

CUBS' FOOD. They Thrive on Grape-Nuts. Healthy babies don't cry and the well nourished baby that is fed on Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food Grape-Nuts and get well. "My little baby was given up by three doctors who said that the condensed milk on which I had fed it had ruined the child's stomach. One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try Grape-Nuts, so I got some and prepared it as follows: I soaked $1\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put in a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed it and gave it to baby every two hours. "In this simple, easy way I saved baby's life and have built her up to a strong healthy child rosy and laughing. The food must certainly be perfect to have such a wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think it is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on and is also a delicious healthful food for grown-ups as we have discovered in our family." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong, healthy man or woman. Grape-Nuts food stands for the true theory of health. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellyville." There is something, somehow, about the proposition of the Republican editors to quit fighting that suggests the czar's futile proposition to disarm. There can be no doubt about cold weather having set in in earnest, now that the first complaint has been made of a railroad confiscating coal in Western Kansas. The Arkansas City Traveler has an able editorial protesting against the use of gospel hymns in merry-go-rounds. The truth is that one good citizen objected to "Yield Not to Temptation" too late in the day. This season's mosquitoes are so large in the neighborhood of Fort Scott that the milliners expect to trim hats with them. he Topeka Commercial club has allowed Tom Anderson $100 for "expenses" in getting through a resolution at the Trans-mississippi congress asking the government to do something to prevent overflows by the Kaw. The injunction to "hold your wheat," exploited many years ago by Wood Davis, is being adhered to at present, Billy Morgan says, because the formers are unable to get any freight cars. It is hoped that R. H. Allen, who is asking for a street railway franchise in Chanute, is not getting ready to sacrifice any of his public ownership principles. A critic for the Salina Journal heads a criticism: "Oh, Cora, cut it out—Somebody Must Have Told Miss Van Tassel She Could Act." The critic explains that her play, "The Volunteer," is not even a raw recruit. Fourteen cases of typhoid fever have been found in Eureks. Translated, Eureka means "I have it." Leavenworth is having a series of races this week, and the papers record that they opened with "eclat." Jewell City is another Central Branch town which, like Clyde, hasn't a negro citizen within its limits. A girls' brass band has been formed in Washington, and the Republican expects the men to organize a rubber band. Adjutant General Kelsey finds fault because, although his title is "general," his salary—$1,500 a year—is that of a lieutenant. George E. Colle may awake some morning soon and find himself the most popular man in Kansas. He "settled" the tax controversy. Henry Allen's libel suit against Barney Sheridan, which should have been settled out of court a year ago, is on trial this week in Ottawa. A Chanute man, Morris Montague, is laid up by the bite of a horse fly. The fly bit the horse, the horse kicked Montague and his condition is serious. Frank E. Grimes, in order to give all his time to the Orient railroad, has decided to sell his shirt factory to any bosom friend who can produce the price. Will the Kansas legislature also ask to be re-elected "on its merits"? 2 In Atchison no young man is considered "refined" unless he carries a silk handkerchief. Thomas Madison, who killed two women and a child out in Smith county, has probably escaped in the tall corn. The Iola Register tells of a local Shylock who went to Colorado, and while he was away "gained a pound of flesh." It is taken for granted that the Topeka man who was fined $150 for swearing at his neighbor must have a remarkable and picturesque command of words. Really the only thing made certain by the tax controversy is that Kansas has great need of a "watchdog of the treasury." Carelessness on the part of Mr. "Brick" Mason, chief clerk of the house of representatives, may result in the loss of $70,000 to George Clark, or two yeears' profits from the state printing. Mason was a Clark partisan, too, but Mr. Clark will probably regard him as a gold Brick. Girl messengers have been hired in Topeka, and unless they respond more promptly than the boys used to they will become cognizant of an eloquent and forceful side of the English language of which they have heretofore been kept in the dark. All the trains into Pratt have been so late during the last few weeks that the traveling men who have had to wait for trains are thinking about renting houses." One farm of 300 acres in Trego county which yielded 8,000 bushels of wheat this year proved that there is gold in that Trego shale, after all. 2 A man in Garnett, a local paper says, became ill by reading the patent medicine advertisements and was cured by being examined for life insurance. Colonel O. E. Learnard of Lawrence, who presided over the convention at which the Republican party in Kansas was organized, joined the Boss Busters this week. Announcement of fire engagement of a grandaughter of General Grant to the son of a Confederate general comes just too late to figure in the resolutions of the Lawrence encampment. Has it occurred to Senator Long, who is "taking the waters" at Geuda Springs, that the only safe way nowadays is to boil it? COMMODORE NICHOLSON Recommends Pe-ru-na-Other Promi ent Men Testify.

The day was when men of prominence hesitated to give their testiminials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true to-day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna.
