INTER-STATE Journal Kans., and Mis-ouri. Bv F. L. JELTZ. EDITORIAL There are times when we should train single from wrangles. Down the frauds everywhere and for the best interest of the people general. Russia is said to be one of the fore most producers of butter, cheese and milk in the world, due to the success-operation of dairy schools. There are some busy bodies around on telling things on their best minds they had better keep still else they might loose their heads.

As the Jews are about one-eighthth of the population, it would seem that they are a great proportion of wealthy, until it is remembered that they are a rale, in large cities. In the population of the United States Jews form one-thirtieth. Ex.

Culp is sore because he lost out in the race for marshalship, Col. Culp is a good man and we always asked him, but he must learn something about politics. The trust thing ever said about politics was by Erganbright who was running for congress in the third district, "Politics is like poker," he said, "The man who can not stand defeat has no business in politics. There always more aspirant than places, and the thing to do is to prepare your self for defeat, and then go in and win if you can. Ex. DONT ROB YOUR FAMILY We like a little past time as well as any one but we never gambled, stole or mistreated the members of the home but we know of persons who make it a duty to throw their earnings away and cause their children to disipate, and reprobate which is very shamful a man of family may be at fault but no more immoral step could be against one than robbing members of your home, BRUCE B. GARDNER Perhaps many of our readers remember Bruce B. Gardiner, a young man who was reared in Shawnee county, Coming as it were a poor boy, to-day he is among the leading young men of the state in financial ways. Only a few months ago young Gardner who had only a small amount of cash started in company with Henry Shick, of Nortonville to see what was in this world for them. They traveled about the country to earn an honest dollar, When they had completed their search for gold and silver they struck a lead vein near Joplin, Me which to their surprise was the sequel of all their struggles for wealth' This vein proved to be one of the finest lead mines in the state of Missouri, the result was these young men were compensated for their research to the neat little find of $75000, which netted them at once $3750 each, now young Gardner elated over its success has organized a formidning stock company of which he is the president, and suffice to sav that success is still crowning their efforts. There is nothing about young gardner, as he was then so he is now a first class rustler and the public may learn a lesson by the actions of push and tact, by these young men who became vastly rich in thirty days after starting out on their venture. In relating his former and present and former circumstance, Mr. Gardner said well it was all a case of luck from the start and I owe a large amount of my success to the credit of Geo. E. Cole, our state auditor, and I shall be ever grateful." Mr. Gardner deserves the 'confidence of the state where he has gained his fortune. John Pears Side of It John Pears, arrested by Federal officers can prove that he has nothing to Do with any joint at his place of business located at 210 N Kansas avenue. John Pears has lived in Topeka for many years during which time he has been a merchant for 15 years and for the greater part of that time he has operated a restaurant and rooming house at the present location. John Peers says he knows Brad's shaw when he sees him but no Indians ever remained all night in his place as he closes his doors generally at twelve a'clock, at midnight. He says an Indian said he had been recbed by his partner of $19.00 and that he had fled to Horton or near the reevation but he told them when they were out of money: now this is the pay he is receiving, John Pears father is an old soldier. He gets a good pension. He signed his son's bond and that of Bradshaw for $300 each. This does not sound bad for John Pears The Subject of this sketch was born in atchison county Nov. 20th 1870, he came from Republican ancestors. Who began voting for Fremont and all down the line Mr. Challiss is proud to say none of his People ever asked or held a public office and this is His first time. Mr. Challiss is a graduate of the State University-Law Department of the class of 1894 and in June of that year he began the practice of his chosen profession he has also completed the degree of Bachelor of arts of which he is immensely proud, knowing he is well qualified to fill the position of County Attorney he is before the voters in Nov. next for their hearty Consideration. Mr. Challiss has appeared in all state and supreme courts of the state with many Important Questions at law. There is something more that we Might sdd, to give lutetre and fame on the candidacy of Mr. Challiss and that is he was the entire choice of the Convention and was nominated by Acclamation. In 1895 Mr. Challiss married Miss Rilla Van Hoesen of Lawrence, Kansas, and there sweet children bless their home. During the administration of the Hon. F. G. Crowell former County attorney Mr. Challiss acted as one of his assistant, which of course makes him experienced in the line of the duties he now seeks, he has always been "true Blue" to the Colored race as well as to that of his own. We do not think any Mistake will be made on their part if they vote for him in Nov. A. J. ARMSTEAD HERE. Mr. A. J. Armstead, present patrolman on the Emporia force was here last week visiting friends and looking after matters of a political nature. He had the pleasure of calling on many of his State House friends, but there were some he did not see however he will return again shortly and he may be able to catch them in person. Mr. Armstead stands well in Emporia the city where he has lived for many years. He is serving his fourth year on the police of that town and the best class admires him for his sagacity integrity and honor. He is a great admirer of his many friends, such gentlemen as the Hon. I. E. Lambert, the Hon. Thomas Kelly and Morton Albaugh of the state committee. During Mr. Armstead's stay here he took in the sights of the city and spoke in words of praise for it and did not get to drop a few nice jots for Mr. Curtis and many others of his admirers. Mr. Armst.ad is a man that has taken a good business and a collegiate course and stands second to none in Kansas of the coiled race it is safe to say that he has the respect of all who know him. He will cut quite a figure in our coming campaign as a republican! We are further proud to state that Mr. Armstead is a young man from the writers old state and of course non- but the top of the pot comes from old Mississippi, for instances Bruce, L.unch. Brown Spellman and Hill. Mrs. Dr. Kieth Dead. The sad news of the demise of Mrs. Dr. Keith, has thrown a gloom over many homes and a wide circle of hers and the doctor's friends in this city. Mrs. Keith while young was a victim of dropsy of the heart which malady proved fatal. While it was known by attending physicians that she could not live for some time, yet it is a great shock, especially to the bereaved husband and two small children. The remains were shipped to Arkher old home. The family has the sympathy of this community. Mrs Elwilla Brown is indisposs- PERSONAL Miss Carrie Smith of Atchison was the guest of Miss Laurenia Brown for a few days. Miss Ingram of Atchison was the guest of Miss Hester Hawkins for a few days. Miss Hester Hawkins and Miss Lurenia Brown have returned from Emporia where they have been attending the Normal. Miss Daisy and Leila Glover and Miss Pearl Pennington of Atchison are in the city the guest of Miss Ethel Wot Iridge. Miss Nora Williams, who has been visiting in Colorado for the past few months has returned home. She reports a fine time and says she expects to return soon. Miss Mable Duncan of Neosha Falls, Kansas, who has been the guest of her aunt Miss J. W. Brown for some time, returned to her home Thursday. The annual session of the Benevolent Lodge convened last week at Leavenworth. The session was well attended and was one of the best sessions they have ever had. It meets next year at Lawrence. Miss Price, of Ft. Smith Ark., is in the city the west of Miss Luvenia Brown.

His office is located at 326 Com'l street, where numerous patients and callers are always coming "Col" John M, Brown made a very appropriate address before the Orphan's home entertainment the other evening. Among other things he said that he was once an orphan and that he was in sympathy with the movement, Brown's remarks were practical, The machinery for the new creamery which Mr. J. E. Nissley is starting on Sizith and Topeka avenue has arrived and is being put in position for operating. The building has been entirely remodeled inside and has been thoroughly cleaned and will be ready for operation in a few days. The plant is equipped throughout with new and up-to-date machinery, making it one of the most complete creameries in the state. Mr. Nissley is daily receiving inquiries from persons desiring to furnish cream to the new concern, and within a few days butter will be placed on the market. George Smith, colored, employed in the Federal building, was taken with an attack of heart failure Thursday afternoon in the rooms overKeith and Hazsen's drug store. Word was sent to the police station shortly before 4 o'clock that something was the matter and Sergeant Jenkins went to investigate. He found the door to Smith's rooms looked and there was no other entrance but by pushing open a transom he was enabled to clamber into the room. Smith was found leaining against the door unconscious. Medical aid was summoned, but it did not arrive promptly and it was some time before an ambulance could be secured to take the man to Christ hospital. Latar—G W Smith died at the Hospital Saturday afternoon. Mrs E. M.

He will not down. The friends of the Egyptian sphinx will be much mortified to learn that he is decaying. Many people would settle the New Jersey mosquito problem by moving out of the state. The national amateur golf champion is only twenty years of age, but he hopes to outgrow it. A stogie trust has been formed at Pittsburg. Some people will regard this as a burning shame. A Pittsburg man killed himself because his wife left him. The amount she took with her is not stated. Mr. Wu is to have honors bestowed on him when he gets back to China. Everybody hopes they will not hurt. Few people are dying from appendicitis now. King Edward deserves praise for establishing a fine precedent. May Yohe- henceforth will hardly trust the key to her safety-deposit box to young men who swear undying affection. Count Matsukata, a Japanese financier, predicts a panic in the United States. Has the count been dabbling in oil stocks? We do not know exactly what a Swiss "seiche" is, but it is evidently a proper thing for all well regulated summer resorts. Spain will station a diplomatic representative at Havana, but it will be some time before he will become the dean of the corps. San Francisco has one saloon for every twenty-two adult male inhabitants. In some respects, however, it isn't such a bad town. The Rev. John N. Mills classes many of our modern novels with yellow fever. This is unjust, for the fever is not always fatal. A machine that will lay brick as fast as six or seven men has been invented, but we shall still continue to get our eggs in the same old homely way. Great Britain did the best she could in arranging a coronation display, but America quite took the shine out of it with a Vanderbilt wedding. Peary would be cheered up if he could be reached by telegraph. The Windward has started toward the North Pole and the relief ship bears a ping pong outfit. That New Jersey boy who was resuscitated after being under the water half an hour will be a good man to experiment with our submarine boats when he grows up. A Rhode Island man claims to have been cured of rheumatism by a stroke of lightning. An analysis of the case probably will show that the rheumatism was scared out of him. According to a pathetic article on the requirements of school teachers which was recently printed in an educational journal, they have to know pretty near as much as a country editor. Minister Wu Ting Fang is going to write a book on the United States, but it is difficult to see where he is going to find any new material since he has already practically exhausted the subject. It may serve a good purpose to remind the public that deaths resulting from the use of the harmless firecracker on our last national anniversary are still being reported to the coroner. When the Duke of Marlborough goes to assume his duties of viceroy a large percentage of the people of Ireland will have their first opportunity to see a chafing dish and a spider phaeton. Dr. Leyds has been barred out of South Africa. In view of the fact that he has money enough to live like a prince in Europe some people probably will refuse to regard his banishment as a hardship. The saying is that "every man has his fool hour at some time in his career." "It would seem as if a good many spend it at Newport. Strange things occur down in that metropolis of fashion and folly. A Chicago man who was worth $300,000 a year ago has assured the tax reviewers that he hasn't a cent. This shows that when a man is lucky enough to get hold of $300,000 he should take it away somewhere and bury it. The manager of a New York aquarium has discovered that fishes really think. If he could interview some that come within range of the summer resort angler their opinions on the fool with the fancy rod and reel would be worth chronicling. A nobly born captain in the Swedish army has refused to fight a duel with an American, claiming that the latter is a mere commoner and therefore not eligible to meet one of rank. S'Death! Hasn't that Swede found out that Americans are all uncrowned kings? This is too much! The doctor who attended Christopher L. Magee of Pittsburg during his last illness has been awarded a fee at $29,239.25. He wanted $200,000, but the jury evidently took into consideration the fact that Mr. Magee died. BY CLOUDBURST THE TOWN OF MANITOU, COLL. SUFFERS GREAT DAMAGE. RAINBOW FALLS COMPLETELY DESTROYED Rainbow Fall is no More—Fully 100 Dwellings Moved From Their Foundations—The Wreckage Piled 20 to 30 Feet High in the Springs Park.—Colorado Midland Suffers. COLORADO SPRINGS, COL.—(Special.) The fair town of Manitou presented a sorrowful spectacle Wednesday. There was a cloudburst in the vicinity of Woodland park and the flood that descended Ute pass did more damage at Manitou and the pass than had been done by a single storm for years. There is not a wagon bridge left in Ute Pass below Cascade, the rainbow fall, one of the beauty spots of the vicinity of Manitou, has been put out of existence, the carriage road is washed out completely at several places. In the Soda Springs park in Manitou the wreckage, consisting of household goods, lumber, railroad ties, bridge timber, tree trunks, etc., is from twenty to thirty feet high. During the height of the flood the stores along the north side of Canyon avenue were a foot under water for an hour. Fully 100 light dwellings have been moved from their foundations. There were many reports of loss of life, but none were confirmed. The Denver & Rio Grande railroad lost a bridge between Manitou and Colorado Springs, and was washed out at Buttes, eighteen miles below this city, and at Wigwam, which is thirteen miles north of Pueblo. The Colorado Midland line is totally destroyed in Ute ass. HELD UP BY TWO MEN. Burlington Train Robbed and Express Car Blown Up. DUBUQUE, IA. — (Special.) Two masked men held up the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy "limited" north bound, two miles north of Savannah, Ill., at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday night. They cut off the Adams Express Company's car, forced the engineer to run up the track and then blew up the car. The robbers torpedoed the track, and when the torpedoes exploded the engineer quickly brought the train to a stop. One man boarded the engine, ordered the engineer to run ahead after the other man had uncoupled the express car. Trainmen hurried to Savannah and gave the alarm and a posse of officers and citizens armed with shotguns and revolvers hastened to the scene. The "limited" is said have carried heavy and valuable express. It is reported that the robbers secured about $20,000. The officials of the railroad company are unable to give any information as to the amount of booty secured by the robbers or to say definitely whether any of the trainmen had been injured during the exciting en counter. TRAIN THROUGH A TRESTLE. One Man Killed, Four Injured and Two Missing in Ohio. PEEBLES, O.—(Special.) A coal train on the Norfolk & Western fell through a trestle near here Wednesday. One man was killed, four injured and two missing. The dead: Robert Foley of Portsmouth, brakeman. Fatally injured: Harvey Norman of McDermott, brakeman. John McArthur, Portsmouth, con- ductor. Davis, Portsmouth, engineer. Two tramps, who got on the train at Peebles, are missing. At the Auditorium. At the Auditorium. The Woodward Stock company will open its season at the Auditorium, August 23, with a spectacular production of the scenic melodrama, "Hearts are Trumps." The play will be staged with all the elaborate detail that characterized "The Great Ruby," which it somewhat resembles. The members of the reorganized Woodward Stock company are Marion Converse, leading woman; Howell Hansell, leading man; Harold Hartsell, Gertrude Berkeley, H. Guy Woodward, William Riley Hatch, Willard Blackmore, Wilson Enos, Joseph Totten, Estelle Carter, Miss Leslie Bingham, Carrie Clark Ward, Miss Reed, Sedley Brown and Harry Long. The sale of season tickets for the Auditorium will take place August 18 and 19, and the sale of seats for single performances will begin August 20. Changes at Denver Mint. DENVER, COL.—(Special.) Frank M. Dower, of Longmont, was Wednesday appointed assayer of the Denver mint by President Roosevelt to succeed Joseph L. Hodges, whose term had expired and Joseph W. Milson, of Canyon City, was appointed smelter to succeed Henry T. Brady, resigned. A Cattle Bustler Killed. BUTTE, MONT.—(Special.) Word has been received from Sanders Station of the shooting and killing of a notorious cattle rustler, named J. W. Perry, known throughout the Eastern Montana ranges as "Black Perry," by James Haynie, foreman of the Hysham Cattle Company. No particulars of the killing are given. Haynie is a well known stockman and is one of the oldest cattle managers of the state. He has given himself up. Knowing vice is to take a little stock in it. Willis Wood Will Open. The Woodward and Burgess Amusement company has announced Saturday, August 23, and Monday, August 25, as the opening dates of its two Kansas City theaters, the Auditorium and the new Willis Wood. The Willis wood will open August 25, with Amelia Bingham and her all star company, presenting the powerful play, "A Modern Magdalen." The new theater will be ready in time, and seats for the first performance will be sold at auction in the lobby of the Baltimore hotel, August 11. DES MOINES MAN MURDERED. Led a Crusade Which Resulted in Closing Gambling Houses. DES MOINES, IA—(Special.) Isaac Finkelstein, whose crusade against public gambling closed the eight houses in Des Moines two weeks ago, was murdered at 10 o'clock Tuesday night in Walnut street at an alley entrance between Sixth and Seventh streets. He was on his way to his home, less than a block and a half away, when a man stepped out of the shadow of the alley and struck him a blow over the head with a singletree. Finkelstein fell to the ground. Four men less than a block away saw him fall and ran to assist him. He was dead when they arrived, his skull being crushed. Save for the bloody singletree, which was left beside the victim, the only clue to the murderer is a report that a little after the time of the murder no one recognized the man who was overheard to say to another: "I killed the _____," and at another time a man was heard to tell another: "Keep your mouth shut." The murder is supposed to have resulted from Finkelstein's action in prosecuting the gamblers. He did not object to public gambling, but wanted the city to receive a revenue from it, he said, and when the police did not raid the houses he filed complaints with the sheriff. The resultant raids proved so expensive that the gamblers closed their places. EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED. Lives of 700 People Endangered but No One Was Killed. CADILLAC, MICH.—(Special.) An excursion train on the Ann Arbor railway, made up of eleven coaches and carrying 700 people, was wrecked six miles north of this place Monday. So far as known, no one was killed, but about a dozen persons were injured, some seriously. The injured: G. S. Young, Alma, hurt about head and shoulders. C. B.

She Had Apparently Been Murdered ST. PAUL.—(Special.) A special to the Pioneer Press from Chippewa Falls, Wis., says: The body of Mrs. George Wolf, who has been missing since June 27th, was found Sunday buried in the sand four miles south of this city. The last seen of Mrs. Wolf she was driving on the night of June 27 with her husband, who has since left and whose whereabouts are unknown. Suspicion aroused by the disappearance of the woman and the authorities have been conducting a search for several weeks. Sunday George Bollinger while prodding the earth with a wire, discovered the body. The face shows marks that indicate that death was inflicted with a heavy piece of iron or stone. GIRL LOST IN MOUNTAINS. With a Broken Ankle She Spent Two Gold Nights Without Food COLLEGE NORTH ZINAL, SWITZERLAND. — (Special.) Miss Whalley, an English girl, staying at a hotel here, is the survivor of a terrible experience in the mountains. She started alone Saturday to walk to St. Luc and missed her way. She did not return and on Sunday morning a rescue party was organized. She was found on Monday in the hills, 400 yards above Ayer. She had broken her ankle but had crawled a long distance in spite of the injury. She spent two cold nights in the mountains without food or shelter and suffered greatly, but thanks to a strong constitution she is recovering rapidly. FORT BENTON, MONT.—(Special). Tuesday night, in a quarrel over a card game, John Allan, a sheepherder, shot and probably fatally wounded John Reavis in the office of the Overland hotel, at this place. Before Reavis fell he knocked Allan down, took his gun away from him and beat his head to a jelly with the butt of it. Allen's skull is crushed in and it is likely that he will also die. Forest Fires Rage in Wyoming. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Dispatches received by Acting Commissioner Richards, of the general land office. Wednesday, announce that large forest fires are raging near Lander, Wyo., and in the southern part of the state west of the Medicine Bow forest reserve. A special agent has been ordered by telegraph to proceed to each of these places to direct the fire fighting. They have been instructed to expend $500 in each of the fire areas and more will be authorized if needed. Strike at the White House. WASHINGTON. — (Special.) The members of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers' local union No. 26, who have been employed on repair work at the White House, have quit work in order to enforce the rules of the union. The cause of the "walk-out," it is stated, is the refusal of the New York firm having the contract for electrical work at the White House to accept the local terms of the electrical workers' union. The demand for hammocks is strong. BYHISOWNHAND OUTLAW TRACEY, WITH CAP TURE CERTAIN, SUICIDES. BUT FIRST HE MADE A DESPERATE FIGHT Made a Desperate Fight.—Weak From Loss of Blood, Sent Bullet Through Brain.—Bloody Trail Shows Savage Determination of Man.—Crawled 75 Yards After Wounded. SPOKANE, WASH. — (Special.) Harry Tracey, the notorious outlaw, whose escapades have filled the nation for the past sixty days, lies dead in Davenport, the county seat of Lincoln county. Sheriffs' posses and others are disputing the ownership of his body. Sheriff Cudhee, of Seattle, who came across the state to take up the long and baffled chase, positively identified the outlaw at the inquest Thursday. The death was intensely tragic. For two days Tracey had terrorized the occupants of the Eddy rack, out in the Lake creek country, three miles from the little sliding of Fellows, on the Central Washington railroad. Then five determined citizens of Creston, hearing of his presence there, took their rifles and revolvers and went after him. They knew their business and did it without flinching. When Tracey ran they hung on his flank as the deer-hound hangs to the hunted deer. Sighting the men and securing his rifle, Tracey sought cover behind a haystack, escaping several rifle bullets. The posse then found cover behind a large rock and for awhile it looked like a siege. Then Tracey broke for a large boulder lying on the edge of a small wheat field, and this dash was his undoing, for just as he came to the rock he fell forward, a rifle bullet having broken his leg. He plunged into the wheat and his bloody trail there shows the savage determination of the man. For, after receiving the wound, he crawled seventy-five yards on his hands and knees in order to reach a spot that would command the posse and enable him to poud a merposse and enable his mto pour a mercessil fire upon them. But once only point. Then, weakened from the loss of blood, he tried to stanch his wound, failed, and with his revolver sent a bullet through his brain. By this time, dusk had fallen and the posse, unaware of the seriousness of his wound and fearing that his silence was intended to lure them into a deadly ambush, posted themselves to prevent his escape and patiently waited for the dawn. During the night others came on the scene and joined in the cordon. At daylight Wednesday they found the outlaw's dead body. None of the posse was wounded, though all of them had narrow escapes. When they were firing from the cover of their rock, they had to lift their heads over the cover and every time this was done Tracey's rifle rang out, and a bullet chipped the rock. For two days and as many nights Tracey held the family of Farmer L, B. Eddy under subjection. Here again he showed the qualities of nerve and cool headedness, but these very qualities brought about his downfall. Had he not allowed G. E. Goldfinch, an 18-year-old boy, to leave the ranch when he did, this story might be different, but the outlaw had too much faith in estimating the terror his words of warning would give to the lad. HOTEL GUESTS IN A PANIC. Four Injured in Seeking Escape From Fire at the Sir William. CHICAGO, ILL.—(Special.) Panic-striken, half a hundred guests at the Sir William hotel, 70 Randolph street, raced through hallways and down stairways Tuesday night, seeking escape from a fire which resulted in serious injury to four persons. The sufferers: Anderson, Grace, burned about head and arms. Gray, William K., night clerk of hotel; burned about head. Schafer, Fred, guest, overcome by gas and burned about head and body. Gray, William, guest, overcome by gas and burned about the head. The fire, which was caused by escaping gas, was extinguished without serious loss. Killed by His Brother-in-Law HOQUIEM, WASH.—(Special.) F. 8. Aegers was killed Thursday morning by Joseph Stockhammer, his brother-in-law. Stockhammer and Aeger's sister had been divorced for several months. Wednesday night the men met on the street. Stockhammer assaulted Aegers. Aegers swore out a warrant for assault against Stockhammer, who pleaded guilty and paid his fine. He then shot Aegers dead at the police station. An Expensive Blunder LOUISVILLE, KY—(Special.) As a result of a mistake made in posting odds, the Kingston poolroom Saturday lost about $2,500. On account of a similarity of names, the board marker confused Talala, a 2 to 5 favorite, and Duella, a 30 to 10 shot, entered in the first race at Highland park, and reversed the odds on the board. The form players immediately noticed the false price and a large sum was bet before the mistake was discovered. Double Drowning at Picnic. BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO. — (Special.) Rev. W. H. Leatherman, pastor of the Methodist church at DeGraff, was drowned Wednesday in trying to save Earl Needham, aged 13, who went down with him. Thirty boys of the clergyman's church were on a picnic at a nearby resort. Young Needham went swimming and was seized with cramps. The minister tried to rescue him. Rev. Mr. Leatherman was 35 years old and leaves a widow and two children. MINE WATCHMAN MURDERED. Had Been Followed From His Werk By a Score of Men. WILKESBARRE, P.A. — (Special.) The dead body of Daniel Sweeney, a watchman in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company at their Bliss colliery in Hanover township, was found in a field in Hanover township Thursday morning. Sweeney quit work at midnight, and was followed by a score of men. The men were making threats, and Sweeney was afraid of them. He took refuge in a saloon and waited there for some time. After he thought the crowd that followed him had dispersed, he left for his home. This was the last seen of him alive. The supposition is that the men who followed him from the mine were lying in wait for him and, when he approached the spot where they were hiding, they assaulted him with pick handles and beat his brains out. The body lay in a pool of blood. The county detective is now at work on the case. It is said the coal company will offer a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the murderers. The murdered man told the superintendent of the mine where he was employed that some of the strikers had told him that if he did not quit work he would be sorry. Sweeney said he needed employment, as his family were in want. There is much indignation over the cold blooded murder, as the dead watchman was well liked. Michael Yisko, John Smith and Ignatz Shukie, all foreigners, who were last seen in Sweeney's company, were arrested charged with being implicated in the murder. They were given a hearing before Magistrate Khiski, of Hanover township, and brought to Wilkesbarre in a special train. They were at once taken to the county jail. THROUGH AN OPEN SWITCH. Santa Fe Passenger Train Wrecked in California. LOS ANGELES, CALIF—(Special.) A Santa Fe passenger train returning from Rodondo Beach ran through an open switch Tuesday and crashed into an oil train. Both engines were wrecked, as was also one coach and four oil tank cars. The fuel tank of one of the engines exploded immediately after the crash, setting fire to the wreck. Burning oil was scattered in every direction and the large refinery plant of the Combs Refining company was set on fire. The plant was completely destroyed, as were all the cars in the wreck except one. T. D. Martin, fireman of the freight engine, is missing and it is thought his body is under the burned wreckage. The injured: H. E. Gardiner, engineer, face terribly scaled, chest, back and legs burned by being caught in a shower of burning oil. C. H. Andrews, fireman, hands and face burned and back injured by jumping from cab. William Whitesides, passenger, Los Angeles, left arm broken. Frank Scott, brakeman, face and shoulders burned by oil. STREET CARS TELSCOPED. Passengers Imprisoned an Hour and Several Seriously Injured. ELGIN, ILL.—(Special.) In a street car collision here Monday two cars were telescoped and several persons seriously injured. A switch to a sliding upon which stood three empty cars was left open and the car from Elgin to Dundee crashing into the standing cars, two being telescoped. The passengers were imprisoned for nearly an hour and everyone of fifteen passengers on the car was more or less seriously injured. The most seriously hurt were: Frank Warner, motorman, leg broken, badly cut and injured internally; may die. Frank Minard, Carpentersville, both legs broken, injured internally; serious. Mrs. D. C. Hunter and two children. Mrs. M. E. Berlin and daughter, badly cut and bruised. FATAL GASOLINE EXPLOSION. Charles A. Brown, Owner of a Candy Factory Dies From Injuries. STILLWATER, O. T.—(Special!) A gasoline lamp exploded in the Stillwater candy factory Monday with fatal results to the owner, Charles A. Brown. The lamp was one of the new hydro-carbon lights and had been threatening trouble for several minutes. Mr. Brown and a boy named Perry were in the room at the time. Perry escaped before the explosion, Brown stayed and received the full charge of burning gasoline over his head and body. He was so badly burned that he died in horrible agony about 4 o'clock. He was about 25 years old and had been married about a year. The candy factory was set on fire by the explosion but was extinguished without serious loss except to the goods. Died Carrying a Candle SANFRANCISCO—(Special.) Mrs. A. K. H. Patchen, of Buffalo, N. Y., a member of an old and aristocratic family of the Empire state, dropped dead early Tuesday at the home of friends in this city and her body is now at the morgue. A candle which she was carrying when death overtook her, ignited her clothes burning the body somewhat, and at first giving rise to the belief that she had been burned to death. Defiance Starch is a peerless starch Struck by Wall of Water. Struck by Wall of Water. FLORENCE, COL.—(Special.) A Ric Grande special passenger train from the East, bound to California and carrying 300 tourists, is in the ditch, just east of Florence, near Swallows. The wreck was caused by the train being struck by a wall of water eight feet high, coming down Peck creek, caused by the heavy rains in the mountains south of here Thursday afternoon. The difference between repartee and impudence depends on the size of the man who gets it off. The Indian Paper to Suspend. The Cherokee Advocate, the only paper ever printed in an Indian tongue, is about to suspend owing to change in the government of the five tribes. The Cherokee is the only tribe having a written language. It was invented by Sequoyah, a Cherokee, in 1826. Salt Lake Still Falling. Salt Lake people, and especially the summer colony, are commenting anew this summer on the fact that the lake has been receding continuously since 1868. As to "Strawberry Blondes." The eminent German portrait painter, Franz von Lenbach, admires "strawberry blondes" more than any other type of women, though he declares that they are so ethereal that they can not be happy in marriage unless they are adored and petted all the time.

Dr. Talmage was compelled to stop on a day in Wichita, Kas., while on a western journey. He asked a man at the department for the best hotel, and he was directed to a rather tough place, much frequented by cowboys andanchers. He hadn't been in the house five minutes until a big, blue-shirted man sauntered up and challenged him to play the first seven points for the drinks. Proctor Knott Named Town. Proctorknott, Minnesota, is a town which recalls Proctor Knott of Kentucky, and his famous Duluth speech of twenty-five years ago, in which he asked where and what Duluth was. This speech, though intended to cast criticism on an item in an internal improvement bill in congress, in the early seventies, was afterward printed as a "bloom" leaflet by Duluthians, and now they have named a small city for him also. Odd Cure for Deafness. One of the most singular cures for breathlessness ever recorded is quoted by the Independence Belge from the Dutch papers. An old man of seventy, living at Krommewemo, who had been in dispute with some neighbors, and became literally transported with rage, this semi-demented state he suddenly recovered his hearing, which he has retained ever since. Monument to Gustav Freytag. Gustav Freytag is said to have a public monument in Breslau, the city where he lived for so many years, and the scene also of his famous novel, "Soll und Haben." The commission for the Freytag Denkmal has been given to Ernest Seeger. The sculptor has prepared two models, which are now being exhibited in the Breslau Kunstgewerbe Museum. Wickedest Capital in Europe. Jebsen's well known saying that Christiana was the wickedest capital in Europe is borne out by a monster against some twenty keepers of dairy farms, where wholesale murder infants has been going on for the tenen or fifteen years.

Successfully Prosecutes Claims. In the war, he is a courageous claimant, a brave warrior. A captain in the "King's Navice" is something of a floating Crusoe. The ward room constitutes a mess where man meets man on terms of equality, but the captain is an isolated being. Even when he comes on deck he is severely alone unless he calls some one to him. This is all conducive to the majesty of the crown which he is supposed to represent, but it makes things a little lonely for the captain Refused University Degree It is declared by a man who claims to have direct information that Harvard university twice offered an honorary degree to Archbishop Williams, who on both occasions courteously asked to be excused from accepting the honor. Some years ago Grover Cleveland took a similar course on being offered an honorary degree by Harvard. Good Life-Saving Apparatus. An Austrian army officer has exhibited in New York a novel life-saving apparatus which is said to have been adopted for army and navy use in several foreign countries to prevent danger of drowning. It is about the size and shape of an ordinary pocket cigar case, but when wet it develops into a bailoon that quickly floats the wearer to the surface of the water. Physicians Puzzled St. Aubert, Mo., Aug. 4th.—Mr. E. R. Langelander of this place suffered very severely with a peculiar case of Kidney Trouble which completely baffled the skill of the local physicians and instead of getting any better he was gradually growing worse. He says: "A friend advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills and after I had used two boxes I was entirely cured and have not since had the slightest symptoms of the return of my trouble. "I had tried all the surrounding physicians but they did me no good and instead of getting better I grew worse till I used Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I can sincerely say to everyone suffering with Kidney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills will' cure them for they cured me satisfactorily and completely when all the doctors had failed." What has become of the old fashioned man who dressed up to serve on the jury? To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 18 czs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs.

Y., for seventy-four years, having been appointed by John Quincy Adams, July 14, 1823. Mr. Beardley has served under twenty presidents and thirty-five postmasters-general. His wife, whom he married in 1829, died seven years ago. He was born July 5, 1809. The vicar, was questioning a small class of infants on the Old Testament. "And now," he said, very blandly, "can any child tell me in what way the Creator punished Adam and Eve for their transgression in the Garden of Eden?" A tiny tat staggered out of the line, with uplifted finger. "Please, he sent them a baby." SELL A SHOAT AND COME to Kansas City for the Priests of Pallas parade, night of Oct. 7.

This is the full figure statue of the kaiser which has just been unveiled in the Hall of Fame in the ancient town of Barmen, Germany, after receipt of a curt note from Berlin that no member of the royal household could be present at the unveiling owing to the criticism of the kaiser by the people of Barmen following the receipt by them of a bill from the sculptor when they thought the kaiser was paying for the statue. Their original plan was to place an allegorical group in the hall to balance a statue of Emperor Frederick and replace it with a statue of the kaiser WILSON THE CZAR AND THE TRUSTS. Issues a Call for an International Conference to Regulate Them. M. De Witte, the Russian minister of finance, is credited with being not only the greatest financier in Russia, but the ablest railroad manager in all Europe. It was he, it is said, who suggested to the czar the calling of an international conference on trusts for the purpose of regulating them, because these combinations of capital "cause depressions and unreasonable fluctuations in prices." New Kind of Measures. The transparency of sea water has been measured by Herr Luksch of the Austrian frigate Pola, in the Levant, Aegean and Red Sea by submerging a white disc until it became invisible, says the London Globe. Transparency and color of the sea vary with temperature, wind, salinity or salinity, altitude of the sun, etc. Transparency is favored by blueness, great salinity, depth of water and low temperature. It is least in summer, and for low altitudes of the sun it is in general 38 meters in the eastern Mediterranean, 31 meters in the Aegean and 21 meters in the Red Sea. The maximum depth at which the white disc could be seen was 48 meters, or some 26 fathoms. These experiments open up a question as to the best color for submarine boats to hide them from an observant enemy, say, in a balloon. Apparently a color assimilating them to the sea water is desirable, and it might be worth while to make experiments for this purpose. Russians May. Not Change Religion. In Russia every creed is tolerated. Those who are by birth Catholics, Jews, Methodists or Mohammedans are at liberty to worship in their own way; but, if an orthodox Russian changes his religion he is liable to imprisonment and exile to Siberia. Anybody who converts an orthodox Russian to another sect is deprived of his social and personal rights and sent to the mines for life. A peasant woman, Crinkinkoff, was recently sentenced to perpetual banishment to Siberia for having converted a Russian peasant to "Stundism," a protestant sectarian belief. Greatness Thrust Upon Them. A man isn't really great until the newspapers begin to print jokes he has originated, which are so dreary they couldn't draw a laugh from a man with money in his pocket.—Atchison Globe. Laborers on London Docks. Sixteen thousand four hundred inborn laborers and little development daily at the docks and principal warews in London. after his death. The kalser, exercising the power given him by the German law, vetoed the group, owing to artistic defects, and when informed it was a temporary piece to occupy a place reserved for a statue of himself, to be placed there after his death, he gave a sculptor an order to make the statue at once and send it to Barmen. The people of Barmen thought he was making them a present of the statue, and hence the dispute over the payment of the $4,000 it cost and the criticism which caused Barmen to be bcycotted by the royal family. In the Days of Slavery. The total white population of the south in 1860, according to the census, it is noted, was 8,099,760, of which 384,864 owned the 3,953,696 slaves in the country, excluding two owned in Kansas, fifteen in Nebraska, twenty in Utah and eighteen in New Jersey. One man alone owned more than 1,000 slaves and he was a South Carolinian. Eighty-eight owners, in nine states, had more than 300 each, and thirty of the eighty were South Carolinians. One-fifth of all the slaveholders or 7,322—owned but one slave each, and the greatest number of these small holders in one state was in Virginia, which had also the largest proportion of slaves, 400,865.—Charleston News and Courier. EMINENT JEWISH RABBI DEAD. Dr. Jacob Josephs Was Chief of Russian Orthodox Jews. Dr. Jacob Josephs, the eminent Jewish minister, who has just passed away, was the chief rabbi of the Russian orthodox Jews of the United States, and possibly in many ways the highest American authority in Jewish law, philosophy and religion. Dr. Jacobs was the author of several J. standard works on these subjects and was widely known among the learned men of his faith. He was 52 years old, a native of Wilina, Russia, and attained rare distinction in learning at the very youthful age of 18. He had been rabbi of the Beth Hamedrash Hagadol congregation in New York city for fourteen years. No Good for Home Consumption. Secretary Shaw has received a request from an old neighbor at his former home for a letter of recommendation which can be used by the friend in procuring more lucrative employment. One sentence in particular delights the secretary: "Out here in Iowa, where both of us are known, of course such a letter would have no weight." The recommendation, it is perhaps needless to say, will be promptly forthcoming.—Boston Transcript. Sir A. L. Jones, of the Elder-Dempster line, announces that he will give free passages to and from England once a year to any of the Rhodes scholars sailing from the Canadian and Jamaican ports served by his firm's steamers. Noah Forgot. "I never heard of any bottle of wine being broken over the bow of the Ark," remarked the Observer of Events and Times, "and yet it was considered a pretty good sort of craft, I believe." -Yonkers Statesman. Kansas Notes The Manhattan Mercury is supporting the demand for Sunday street car service in Scotland. The Garden city Imprint demands that the weather office pull down its rain flag, or else produce the rain. The Topeka saloon keeper who was acquitted this week of the charge of selling liquor must have had his "stuff" analyzed. Kiowa is going to have a street fair this year. Topeka is entertaining the Negro Press association of five Western states. Eight young men in Pittsburg have entered into solemn compact not to wed. It is suggested that an agreement of eight young women of Pittsburg might have been much more sensible. George P. Locke, who was vice chairman of the Democratic state committee in the last campaign, is now a citizen of Iowa. He enjoys the distinction of being the only Democrat who was chosen a delegate to two state conventions in the same year. Topeka, which is complaining of unjust freight rates, offers the following example: A merchant ordered a carload of merchandise sent to him, and, by mistake, it was sent to Lincoln, Neb. He paid the excess charges from Lincoln to Topeka, and the total was less than the regular rate from New York to Topeka would have been. An old woman in Yates Center says her idea of good luck is to find a pair of stockings in the wash that do not require darning. Clyde is thinking of offering a reward for the man, alive or dead, who started the fiction about the watermelon crop being a failure. So far there has been no run on any of the banks in Eldorado as the result of the rush to shower currency upon the fund to pay for an apal in the Jessie Morrison case. Speaking on the subject of capital punishment, Colonel Jeltz thus neatly expresses himself: "The man that deserves killing by hanging should go ahead and shoot his wife and no one should hesitate to grow the hemp that maybe will hang him." A pastor who has labored in the Junction City vineyard for several years at $800 per annum has received a "call" to a church that pays $2,000 a year and parsonage. He has not accented yet. A gathering of mothers in Howard was debating various ways of keeping a baby quiet. One old mother said she used to put molasses on the baby's fingers and then give it a feather to play with. The child would sit for hours pulling the feather first off one finger and then the other. She says this worked well with all her babies but one—and he would suck all the molasses off his fingers and then eat the feather. The postoffice at Holy Cross, Jackson county, has been moved into new quarters, because the building which it has heretofore occupied had a "joint" under the same roof. The military maneuvers in Junction City next week are expected by the local papers to eclipse those around New York, fleets or no fleets. Ex-Senator Peffer is engaged in writing a historical novel. A man in Bazine sent $50 to an Indiana woman in answer to a "matrimonial" advertisement, to pay her expenses out to Kansas. She has not arrived yet, and he can't understand it. A good reason has been advanced why the Rev. Dean J. P. DeBeverys Kaye of Topeka combs his name the way he does. James Kaye of the same town is accused of murdering his wife. Two men were quarreling in an Atchison restaurant the other day. One man was from Pennsylvania, the other from Missouri. "Some of the greatest men in the world came from Pennsylvania." "Well," said the Missouri man, "why don't they send some of them out' West?" A Lawrence paper notes that Kansas is "getting its due this year, as well as its dew." And when the harvest is gathered there will be something doing. Wellington's new electric light plant began business this week, furnishing a cloud of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night. Potatoes are so large in the Eudoria neighborhood that they average fifteen to the bushel, or one to the meal. Chanute has signed a southpaw twirler named Straight, and the other towns in the circuit expect to take advantage of his absence of curves. It is nonsense, this statement that hot winds could not hurt the corn now. "A hot wind," says Victor Murdock, "can follow corn to the bin and bite it." Work on the new hotel in Independence was stopped because of high water in the Kaw river, which shuts off the sand supply. The good roads movement in Cowley county is progressing. A plague of ankle bugs is making trouble in the vicinity of Sterling. It is supposed to be a heel fly, grown up. Cherryvale has a new auditorium and a new brick plant. One farmer near Linwood, in the Kaw valley, cleared $2,000 this year on a little forty-acre patch of potatoes. Edwin L. Cobb, of Kansas City, Kan., has been appointed a clerk in the engineer's department of Mississippi river commission at St. Louis. The Arkansas valley has the right kind of soil for sugar beet culture, says Secretary Colburn. A Leavenworth man is in trouble for trying to steal a $300 monument to place over the grave of his father and mother. The new postoffice in Kansas City, Kas., will be completed this week. The bill appropriating $150,000 for the building was signed in March, 1899. 3 A man in Pratt wanted a drink so badly that finally he went to a dentist and had a tooth pulled, in order to get it.
