A Historical Society Table House INTER-STATE Journal Kans., and Mis- ouri. EDITORIAL Many a man keeps his religion as his property in his wife's name. What we want is what we want to stand hitched. Remember the early bird catches warm. Now catch them if you and them in your business. We see nothing in a whole heap of rock up puffy puff," a plain man that will take among the best peo- of our country. It takes a mighty sensible unbiased man to sit in judgement and pass on the questions of his friends and see of his enemies. According to the government census, just issued Kansas has 173, with an average acreage of acres. Sixty per cent of the man is improved. Kansas had in 1900, according to government census: Chickens, 609,843; turkeys, 275,330; geese, 688; ducks, 217,244. The value of this poultry was 4,356,997 Dollars.

PASSING OF HARRY TRACEY Harry Tracey the great nine times murderer is gone—where the wood nine twelfth and where the briar rose eluster shine, he laid himself low with a 45 calibre revolver the other day in a running fight after his leg had been broken and there was no hope for his unhuman frame. Once there was two beautiful white eggs liid side by side in a nice new nest. A great big man gathered them up with his rough hands and sold them to a grocer, one was good and went into an angel cake, the other was bad and got mushed on an actress. x VIENNA, Aug. 16—A sensational attempt to blow up the imperial yacht Hohenzollern while the Kaiser and Czar were both on board is reported here by the Neue Wiener journal—The publication, which bears the signs of uthanticity, has caused the wildest excitement here. Sam Jones, colored ex-policeman, was arrested Satur lay charged with torging the name of Frank Bulla to a check of $28. A few days ago H, W. Lewis gave Sam Jones two cheeks payable to Mr. Bulla and the man was to give them to Mr. Bulla. Instead of doing this it is alleged that Jones forged the name of Mr. Bulla to one check and then endorsed it himself and cashed it at the National Bank of Commerce. He gave the other check to Mr. Bulla. When Mr. Bulla and Col. Lewis made a settlement a few days ago, it was found that one check was missing and in hunting for it they found it had been cashed at the bank and Mr. Jones was arrested. "Searchlight". CITY OF 70,000 NO POLICEMAN COLORED Editor Taylor of the Plaindealer of Salt Lake City says they have only 500 voters in Salt Lake City and less than a thousand in the state and only 98 colored pupils were enrolled last term, and that they have no representation at all and the first proposition for a colored policecon was made recently. A brother of J. B. Jones of this city is an applicant for a poitcherman. 'STATE LEDGER CHANGE' The "STATE LEDGER" which has been operated in this city for over ten years will soon put on a new garb all over and instead of errors and misprints we will get it on a more correct and higher plane having made also changes in the mechanical department believe hereafter the Ledger will stand for "spectation," "critics" and "cinics." We thank you for past courtesies and dein a continuance I am your humble servant - Editor.' It's an old adage and true, that, "Nothing goes over the devil's back that doesn't come under his stomach". This saying is so old that the memory of man "runneth not to the contrary"; yet, how many are there who in their great desire to do harm and evil to their fellow man lose sight entirely of this fact. Every man, every woman will certainly reap what they sow. If you sow evil, evil will be your reward; if you sow the seeds which you hope will tear down race enterprises, the re-action will four fold hurt you. There is no man or woman under the sun who ever sowed evil and got good results. It's a rule of nature, as fixed and unmovable as the earth. Then, does it not behoove each of us to do as much good as we can and in as many places as we can? Searchlight. Some parts of Brittany a curious marriage custom prevails on certain fete days the marriageable girl appear in red petticoats with white or yellow borders around them: The number of borders denotes the portion the father is willing to give his daughter. Each white band denotes two francs per annum; each yellow band represents 1,000 francs per annum—Ex Out in Barton county, Kansas, some days ago a number of boys and girls drove out into the county a few miles to hold a picnic. On unpacking the baskets that had been brought along the girls found that the boys had provided eight bottles of beer as a portion of their share of the refreshments; and the girls didn't do a thing but smash the bottles against the nearest tree.

No woman can be an ideal wife who cannot cook, sew, trim a hat, and do a turn, when necessary in the wash tub and at the ironing board. The wonder is that doctors do not manage to prescribe what people like to eat instead of prohibiting one form taking what he wants.

According to the Wamego Turres a man went into a clothing store there and tried on a coat and vest. When the proprietor turned to get the pants the fellow ran off. Just then the marshal happened along, took in the situation and drew his gun. "Shoot him in the pants," exclaimed the clothing man: "the coat and vest are mine."

A doctor says people drink to much water at Excelsior Springs and that they should consume the article under direction of a physician. That's the way with these doctors. They never give the people what the want. The people there are not satisfied without they have water swilled into them. The doctors also make the mistake on all patients of prohibiting the very things sick people want to eat. Some day there is going to be rebellion and the doctors will be chased out of town. They ought to take note of the signs of the times. Subscribe for the State Ledger, HIGH PRICES. An exchange says that seven years ago a newly married man started from his home in an eastern city for the butcher shop to buy a feef-steak. He forgot his errand and did not return, and searching parties tailed to find a trace of him. After waiting three years his wife gave him up for dead and remarried. The second husband died and the other day the widow was shocked when the first husband walked into the house and handed her a beef steak. He could not remember a thing of his past life. He came to himself in Naponee. The present price of meat probably brought him to. They listened to the men of state Who worthy council did relate And each deserving Editor Proved here to be an orator.

It is easier for European governments to oppress Tolstoi than to suppress him. Often a man's patriotism becomes of the disappearing type when the assessors come around. An effort is being made by the volcanoes and earthquakes to bridge the Pacific with pumice stone. It is to be expected that the new pump trust just formed will find it natural to water its stock. The Boer and the Filipino wars are over but the French chamber of deputies is still in session. It would be impossible to convince the average small boy that it was worth $50,000 to kiss a schoolteacher. There is a great deal in a name. It is largely the name that distinguishes a giant firecracker from a dynamite bomb. The buffalo of the plains is fast becoming extinct. The urban variety, however, is known to be on the increase. The Yale janitor who stole Reginald C. Vanderbilt's initial embroidered silk socks might have known he would put his foot in it. The new premier of England is an enthusiastic golfer. Perhaps the king in selecting him wanted to make sure of the golf vote. How careless the king's doctors are getting! They do not inform a waiting world how many cigars a day King Edward smokes. Gold in paying quantities has been found in Vermont. This will be glad news to the people who left those 'abandoned farms." They say that Mr. Morgan is able to juggle with the commerce of the world. A man who can do that need not be afraid of kings. An Ohio paper speaks of a recent society function as an "Alice Roosevelt tea." In the name of the great hornspoon, what's that? The man who proposes to court fame by crossing the Atlantic in a 38-foot launch could save time by going over Niagara in a barrel. The University of Chicago professor who declared that the devil is a disappointed idealist puts Satan in the class with the spring poets. It is to King Edward's splendid constitution that the doctors attribute his speedy recovery. It is a wonder that the doctors do not take the credit themselves. Chicago packers are preparing to ship wienerwurst to Austria. Then the favored people of that country can have the Yankee peril for breakfast every morning. National League baseball umpires are reported to be taking out new life and accident insurance policies. Mr. McGraw has transferred himself to that organization. The sea serpent just added to the New York aquarium turns out to be nothing but a channomuraena vittata, and there is nothing whatever to be afraid of but the name. It is said that a Topeka man was defeated for sheriff because he said "Gosh all finders!" It is shuddery to guess at what might have happened to him had he said "Dern!" The announcement that Mrs. Langtry has settled an income of $10,000 a year on her daughter leads to the reenaction that beauty is sometimes more to be desired than mere intellect. The heirs of Madame Silva, the woman who left her fortune to her rooster, have assassinated the poor fowl. This shows that there is an easy way out of a will contest—once in a century. Gen. Buller has placed himself on a par with the overloquacious parrot. Some persons don't know just when to stop 'alking', and the general, in an effort to square himself, has justified his severest critics. British authorities now have possession of all the documents that belonged to the Boer government. Any confidential notes sent by European cabinets to cheer up the burghers will be read with interest in London. The news that little Miss Peary will teach her father and the Eskimos to play ping pong leads to the hope that even the king of the cannibal islands may in time be introduced to the uplifting influences of bridge whist. Miss Vining of Boston has achieved notoriety by saying horrid things about the girls, but so long as she does not hear the girl's opinion that she is a spiteful thing she will probably enjoy having her name in the newspapers. Foxhall Keene proposes to spend $50,000, if necessary, to regain the American polo cup from England. Evidently Mr. Keene cares more about the cup than America does. They have just had a riot in the French chamber of deputies, several sketches having been disarranged. The French are bad when they get started. There has been another eruption of Mont Pelee. This time it is described as an "incandescent avalanche." Decidedly graphic! ARE UP IN ARMS PEASANTS OF BRITTAINY GUARDING PROSCRIBED SCHOOLS.

CHECOTAH, I. T.—(Special.) A sensational story reached here Tuesday from Okmulguee, telling of the death of two full-hlood Creek Indians, one murdered, supposedly, by Crazy Snake followers, the other a member of the Snake band and killed by the marshal's posse. Ten other Snakes were captured and are chained hand and foot to the trees in front of the court house in Okmulguee. They will be taken to the federal jail at Muskogee. The Snakes have rebelled against the action of the Creek council in passing the supplemental agreement, and have been holding meetings at the old Hickory grounds, about ten miles south of Okmulgee. Marshal Bennett left Monday for this place with a possie. The possie returned to Okmulgee with ten full-bloods. They were sullen and desperate and were chained to the trees in front of the court house and a guard placed over them. Both opposition and friendly Creeks are gathering at the capital and trouble is expected. The marshal reports having shot one Indian in making the capture. The other chapter of the story is the sensational murder of Barry Bruner, a member of the house of warriors, the lower body of the Creek council. Bruner left Saturday night to attend an Indian corn dance in the Hickory ground vicinity and failed to return to attend the council meeting. A runner from the Snake stronghold brought the news of finding Bruner's body by the roadside, near where the dance was held. His body was riddled with bullets and it is believed he was the victim of the enraged opposition Creeks. The court house Tuesday night was jammed with full blood Creeks listening to an address by their chief, Pleasant Porter. General Porter spoke in the native Creek tongue and thanked the members for their action in passing the agreement. He referred with expressions of sorrow to the ending forever of the Creek Indians as a tribe, but explained that it was for the best that the Indians should now become citizens of the United States. They would, he said, enjoy all the privileges as such and would immediately be given deeds to their lands. His address was listened to attentively by his warriors and the chief was given a hearty applause at the close. "L" TRAINS COLLIDE. Met Head-On in New York, Causing Injury of Fifteen Persons. NEW YORK.—(Special.) A head on collision occurred Tuesday between two trains of the Brooklyn elevated road on Adams street, which resulted in the derailing of six cars, the wrecking of two and the injury of a number of persons, at least two of them fatally. The collision is thought to have been caused by a misplaced switch. A train bound to New York from Bath Beach was turning the curve at the junction, when it was met by a train from the bridge station, and the crash occurred. Godfrey Moore and Henry Moore, of New York, were plinioned beneath the wreckage and probably fatally hurt. It was nearly an hour before they were released. Thirteen others were bruised more or less seriously. HIS AIM WAS BAD Springfield Ohio, Man on Murder Bent Killed Wrong Woman. SPRINGFIELD, O.—(Special.) Mrs. William Gebauer, wife of a well known shoe merchant, was shot Monday and died in an hour, the result of a stray bullet fired by Homer Seekford, who was intent on shooting Mrs. Fleck, whom he was following home. Mrs. Fleck and Seekford had recently quarreled. Seekford had fired two shots at Mrs. Fleck, neither of which struck her, both going wild and the second of which struck Mrs. Gebauer in the back. There was much excitement after the occurrence, and a crowd of men chased Seekford into a barn, where he was rescued by the police, there having been threatening language used. A San Francisco Cashier Missing. SAN FRANCISCO.—(Special.) William J. White, cashier of the board of public works, has disappeared from his post and it is officially announced that he is several thousand dollars short in his accounts. He lived at No. 80 Pierce street, with his wife and two children, and has been missing for eight days. Two Sisters Drowned. CLEVELAND. O.—(Special.) Anna and Rose Glaw, 6 and 16 years, respectively, were drowned in Lake Erie Monday afternoon. The girls, with two other children, were out sailing with their father, when a squall came up and overturned their boat, throwing the entire party into the water. One girls went down before help could be given them. The others were rescued. Fortunate is the bride who has a cool head and warm feet. Children Struck by Lightning. BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — (Special.) Miss Annie Herndon, aged 16, and Willie Blair, a little boy, were struck by lightning Monday. The latter's death is expected momentarily. Miss Herndon was carrying an umbrella and the lightning struck the tip of the rod, passed down the handle, and severely burned her left side and leg. The shoe on her right foot was torn to shreds. She will recover. It takes little to make a woman happy and less to make her miserable. KILLED IN A FIGHT. Youths Quarrel Over a Girl and Engage in a Fatal Fist Fight. PORTLAND, ORE—(Special.) Two young men, Frank Carlson and George Baldwin, each aged about 19 years, quarreled over a girl to whom both were paying attention, Carlson challenged Baldwin to fight. The fight took place with bare knuckles in the presence of Carlson's brothers and other friends and of Baldwin's father, brother and others of his followers. Both of the young men were searched for weapons before the beginning of the fight, their pennkives, keys, etc., being taken away from them. The fight was apparently of two rounds, lasting altogether about two minutes. At the end of that time Carlson received a blow in the stomach, gasped and fell to the ground. When picked up he was dead. Baldwin surrendered to the police and is in jail. The fight took place in an unfrequented part of the city. A GOVERNOR BUNCOED. Chief Executive of Rhode Island Gave Up $2,000 to a Promoter. NEW YORK.—(Special.) Charles D. Kimbail, governor of Rhode Island, accompanied by a lawyer, appeared at the Tombs police court Wednesday and asked for a warrant for the arrest of Andrew F. Power, a promoter. Magistrate Duel declined to issue a warrant, but issued a summons, returnable August 6. It is charged that Power went to Governor Kimbail and asked him to join the directorate of a company, in which he said all the governors of the Eastern states would be included. The governor became interested to the extent of $2,000, and he says he has never been able to get an account of th money. A joint complainant is Louis B. Curtis, of Bridgeport, Conn., who, it is understood, invested $3,000 with Power, but has never been able to obtain an accounting. THREE SISTERS INJURED. Were Driving With Their Brother at Grand Junction, Colo. GRAND JUNCTION, COLO.—(Special.) H. A. Gregory, stock solicitor of the Rio Grande Western Railway Company, with headquarters at Salt Lake City, and his three sisters, Mrs. E. G. Morris and Mrs. G. Perry of this city, and Mrs. F. M. Leavitt, of Chicago, were injured Tuesday in a runaway accident. The carriage was overturned and the occupants were thrown violently to the ground. Mrs. Morris had her left arm broken and received internal injuries. Mrs. Perry received had bruises and cuts and was internally injured. Mrs. Leavitt had her left shoulder dislocated and suffered other injuries. The women were removed to the hospital. Mrs. Gregory received several bruises, but is able to be out. WAR ON GAMBLING. District Attorney to Drive It Out of Central Indian Territory. SOUTH M'ALESTER, I. T.—(Special.) Word having come to the United States authorities that gambling houses are running wide open in the unincorporated villages of the district, a general order has been issued to deputies to close all dens and confiscate paraphernalia. Deputy Crockett Lee raided two houses at Halleyville Tuesday night, arrested the habities and broke up and burned twelve tables in the street. District Attorney Wilkins has practically suppressed the sale of liquors in the Central district, and he is confident of his ability to shut up the gambling dens. WAS HIS PATIENT TRACEY? Man Who Applied for Aid May Have Been Oregon Convict. RAVENNA, NEB.—(Special.) Dr. Hale, of this town, says that Monday night a stranger applied to him to have some wounds dressed. Several bullet wounds appeared on the man's breast, one of the bullets having penetrated the entire body, breaking out at the back. The man carried two revolvers and was very reticent as to his identity and the origin of his wounds. From newspaper photographs and descriptions, Dr. Hale thinks the man may be Tracey, the much wanted Washington murderer. The man quickly disappeared after his wounds were dressed. Flour Mill Boiler Explodes. CENTRALIA, ILL.—(Special.) A boiler in a mill at Salem exploded Wednesday, killing Engineer P. F. Lefter and wrecking the mill. A Baltimore & Ohio passenger train had just pulled into the station and was badly damaged and the passengers panic stricken. Postmaster Shot by Robbers. EVANSVILLE, IND.—(Special.) L. D.

A posse is in pursuit. MATTOON, ILL.—(Special.) A week ago, while mowing his lawn, Walter Kilner, a wealthy retired business man of this city, cut his finger with a blade of grass. Blood poisoning set in and he died Monday in great ageny. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS The waiters in the cafes and restaurants at Trieste, Austria, have gone on strike because of the refusal of their employers to grant their demands for regular wages and the abolition of tips. The correspondent in St. Petersburg of the London Daily Mail reports that cholera has broken out in the government of Astrakan, European-Russia, and that fifteen deaths were recorded last Friday. The government, the correspondent says, is keeping the fact of the epidemic secret. The body of the late John W. Mackay, who died in London last Sunday, will not be taken to the United States until September, Mrs. Mackay's health forbidding her earlier departure.

SHENANDOAH, PA.—(Special.) A reign of terror, compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots of 1900 seem insignificant, holds Shenandoah in its grasp. Since 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, Center street, which is one of the principle streets of the town, has been in the hands of an infuriated mob. Two of the borough policemen were shot, one perhaps fatally, Joseph Beddal, a leading merchant, and cousin of Sheriff Beddal, was brutally clubbed to death and upward of a score of strikers whose names could not be ascertained were shot by policemen and it is expected that many deaths will result. The trouble started about 6 o'clock Wednesday evening when Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddal attempted to escort two non-union workers through the strikers' line of pickets. The workmen were dressed in their street clothes, but one of them carried a bundle under his arm, and this aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him, and when it was found to contain a blouse and overalls the man was taken from the deputy and beaten almost to death. In the meantime, Beddal opened fire on the mob which had gathered, and emptied his revolver. Two of the shots took effect, one man being shot in the leg and the other in the foot. The deputy and the other strike breaker were now compelled to fly for their lives and took refuge in the Philadelphia & Reading railroad depot. The depot was soon surrounded by an angry mob of 5,000, which was becoming more threatening and demonstrative every moment. Joseph Beddal, a hardware merchant, and cousin of the deputy sheriff, was seen making his way through the crowd in an effort to reach his cousin, and the mob, divining that he was carrying ammunition to those inside the depot, seized him and beat him with clubs and billies into insensibility. He died en route to the miners' hospital. Shortly after this the entire borough police force arrived on the scene and escorted the deputy sheriff and his men to an engine which had been backed to the depot for that purpose. When the mob realized that their prey was about to escape, they surrounded the engine, and the engineer was afraid to move. In a few moments, however, the police fired a volley, dispersing the crowd for a brief period and the engineer turned on full steam and got away. Stones were thrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chief John Fry gave the order to fire. At the first volley the mob fell back, and several were seen to fall. The retreat however, was but momentary. They turned and, with revolvers, stones and even a few shotguns, charged on the little band of policemen and made them fly for their lives. The policemen turned in their flight at short intervals and fired volley after volley at their merciless pursurers, but the mob seemed thoroughly infuriated and revolvers seemed to have no terrors for them. When the Lehigh railroad crossing was reached, a passing freight train blocked the progress of the police, two of whom were caught and brutally beaten. One of them, Stiney Yaconsky, will probably die. It is estimated that upward of 1,000 shots were fired and the wonder is that more fatalities did not result. More than twenty strikers, all of whom were foreigners, were shot, and at least two of them will die. THREE NERVY HOBOES. Held Up a Passenger on the Ogden Union Depot, Then Held Up Detective. OGDEN, U.—(Special.) Three hooes coily held up and robbed a passenger on the Rio Grande Western train who had stepped out on the platform of the union station here Thursday night. A detective who went in pursuit of the robbers was, in turn, held up and relieved of his revolver, handcuffs and other paraphernalia and told to hurry away, which he did. A posse, headed by several policemen, took up the pursuit of the robbers. They came up with them, and, in the exchange of shots which followed, Policeman Farr was severely wounded. The robbers then fled toward the hills north of the city. Bloodhounds from the State penitentiary at Salt Lake were telegraphed for and were put on the track of the robbers.

Gives Way Under Weight of a Crowd Gathered by a Street Brawl. CHICAGO.—(Special.) A sidewalk in front of 3448 Halstead street collapsed Wednesday while it was crowded with men, women and children who were watching a wounded man being carried to a doctor's office. Fifty persons were hurled ten feet downward. Four were badly injured and a dozen more were bruised. Enos Dalley, who was being carried into the building, was probably mortally wounded by a pistol shot supposed to have been inflicted in a brawl near Thirty-eight and Morgan streets. The crowd had gathered, drawn by curiosity, on hearing the shooting. The injured: Mrs. Elizabeth Fitzsimmons. None of the injured is fatally hurt. 3 BABY BEGGARS MUST GO. Chicago Police Gathered in Forty Little Tots Between 4 and 7. CHICAGO. — (Special.) Under the direction of the probation officers, the police made a tour of the principal downtown retail streets Thursday night and gathered in as many as they could of the scores of little children who are sent into the streets nightly to beg and peddle. Forty children, boys and girls, all between 4 and 7 years old, were gathered in. Each "walf-finding wagon" was preceded a half block by two policemen, who picked up the little ones and put them into the wagons. Many others escaped the officers. The children are held at the Harrison street police annex pending an investigation in the case of each child by the Visitation and Aid Society. The raids will be kept up until the streets are cleared of baby beggars. Double Drowning at Picn Double Drowning at Picnic. BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO. — (Special.) Rev. W. H.

AUDITORIUM STOCK CONTEST. Number of Tickets Sold and Interest in It Increasing Every Day. Interest in the Auditorium Stock Contest, which was opened in Omaha July 1, has increased steadily every day since that time and the project promises to be a great success in every way. The plan adopted for disposing of a sufficient amount of the common stock of the Omaha Auditorium Company to complete and furnish what will be the largest and handsomest building of its kind in the northwest, is very simple. The common stock has been divided into shares of 10,000, and each share is "share the purchaser" is given two guesses, one on a special prize and one on a list of 1,001 prizes. The capital prize of $5,000 in gold, contributed by the Defiance Starch Co. of Omaha, Neb., and 1,000 other prizes, ranging in value from $2.50 up to $3,500, contributed by the business men of Omaha, will be awarded immediately after the election next November, but the contest for them has already opened, and will close October 28, or as much sooner as the shares of stock are sold. The capital prize will be awarded to the person guessing closest to the total vote of the governor will be cast for the governor New York, November 4, 1902, and the other prizes to the 1,000 persons making the next closest guesses. The total vote at the last five elections was: 1891, 1,155,085; 1894, 1,275,671; 1896, 1,424,046; 1898, 1,359,190; 1890, 1,555,520. There will be seven more special cash prizes, to be awarded the first and fifteenth of each month until November, and persons buying tickets now have one guess with each share of stock on them as well as on the other prizes. Each special prize will be in cash, and not less than $50 nor more than $500. The prize, divided into small bills and 'change' will be divided and counted, and the person greeting nearest the amount in the larger sack will be given the contents of both sacks. The contest is not confined to residents of Omaha or limited to any number of tickets. Anyone desiring further information or tickets should address Omaha Auditorium Co. Omaha, Nebraska.

Milford L. Streeter of Aurora, Ill. has just been granted a pension, of $72 a month and back payments of $1,155, the largest amount of pension money ever paid to a private soldier M. of the United States army. This acknowledgment of Mr. Streeter's claim comes as a great relief to him. For fourteen years he has been totally blind and incapacitated from his work on account of nis feeble condition, which resulted from his confinement in Andersonville prison. His efforts to obtain his pension were attended by many disappointments. The delay by the government in acting upon his claim was caused by lack of sufficient evidence. Mr. Streeter joined the Thirty-Sixth Illinois when a clerk at Morris, ill, in 1862. He was made prisoner June 22, 1864, when on picket duty at Kenerwau Mountain, Georgia. Earned His Bride: One of the most difficult tasks that ever fell to the lot of a lover was completed two years ago by Mr. McQuarry, of San Francisco. His suit was repeatedly rejected by the lady of his choice, until one day, thinking to put an end to his attentions thereby, she told him that if he would go round the world without a cent in his pocket she would marry him. McQuarry courseously took her at her word, and setting out, actually accomplished the feat in a certain period named, a task which received its just reward. NIKISCH HONORED IN GERMANY Famous Musician Is Well Known in America. Arthur Nikisch, formerly conductor of the Boston Symphony orchestra, has been elected principal of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music, which is probably the German musical institution best known to Americans. He succeeds Reincke, the composer. Mr. Nikisch went to Boston in January, 1889, and remained with the Symphony orchestra through four seasons. He resigned in 1893 and returned to Germany. Mr. Nikisch is a Hungarian by birth, having been born in Sent Miklos, Hungary, Oct. 12, 1855. While here he showed rare talents as a musical director. Their Isle of Safety: Men and women were hurrying from business and teamsters were bustling along toward the ferry, so that Fulton street was an unsafe place for little girls unused to turmoil, but three mites, the children of janitors of business buildings, found an "isle of safety" where they could play to their heart's content, says the New York Times. They had books and paper dolls and other small playthings and their merriment was noticeable for some passersby who had eyes and ears for children's pleasures. They sat on the stone coping of a side wall of a basement stairway. For protection behind was a sign and a rail in front prevented them from falling downstairs. They chattered and laughed and sung snatches of songs, all unconscious of the noise and bustle on the sidewalk at one side. They were started into silence only when a passerby remarked: "You're having a great time, aren't you?" New Feature for Weddings One of the most charming of recent wedding innovations was carried out at a recent marriage. During the early part of the ceremony the bride stood in a tiny made of a lovely rope of flowers held by her eight bridesmaids. When the time came for putting on the ring she gently broke the flower rope and joined her future husband, thereby signifying that she was leaving her girlhood days behind. The bridesmaids afterward preceded the bride out of the church, strewing flowers from the pretty broken rope in her pathway. This pretty and original idea has quite "caught on," as the saying goes, and promises to be a very popular feature of future society weddings. Recently while the targets on the range at Glenalmond, Perth, were being examined, a partridge's nest with two eggs was discovered situated on the butts midway between two targets. The bird does not mind the noise of the shooting, which goes on daily, although some shots must go unpleasantly near it. GENERAL BROOKE IS RETIRED. Army Officer Retires to Private Life Under Age Limit. Maj.-Gen. John R. Brooke, U. S. A., reached the age limit of 64 years last week, and has retired. With the exception of Gen. Miles, Gen. Brooke is the only officer on the active list of the army who reached the grade of brigadier-general during the civil war. He had a distinguished military record during the civil war, entering as a volunteer captain. He was made a lieutenant-colonel in the regular army at the time of the reorganization in 1865, and has been advanced in regular order to major-general. Efforts were made by his friends during the last session of Congress to have a bill passed allowing him to retire with the rank of lieutenant-general, but the bill failed. He became a major-general a year before the war with Spain. When hostilities began he was ordered to the command of the large rendezvous camp at Chickamauga. He went on the expedition to Porto Rico, and after the peace protocol was signed, he was made chairman of the evacuation commission in Cuba. He was then designated general governor of Cuba, holding that position until relieved by Gen. Wood. Since then Gen. Brooke has been in command of the department of the East, with headquarters at Governor's Island, N. Y. Electricity to Stimulate Growth. Electricity for stimulating the growth of cereals, vegetables and other plants has been tried in many experiments by Dr. Selim Lemstrom, the Norwegian investigator. On arable land of medium quality an increase of 45 per cent in the crops has been obtained, but the increase is greater in proportion to the care in cultivation. The effect is trifling on poor soil. The electric current proves injurious to most, if not all, plants in hot sunshine and such plants as peas, cabbages and turnips are favorably influenced only after watering. Estimates of cost lead Dr. Prengsheim to conclude that electricity in agriculture will pay. To Revisit Battle Scenes. The Seventy-first regiment of New York militia is laying plans for an interesting celebration next May. The regiment was in Cuba during the war with Spain and it is the intention that next May some 350 officers a men will visit the island again, making a tour of various interesting places. If possible the voyage will be made in the steamer Vigilancia, the transport which previously conveyed the Seventy-first to Cuba. EASTERN BELLE A BRIDE. Miss Lily Clerichs and Peter D. Martin are Married. Miss Lily Clerichs, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Charles M. Clerichs of New York, and Peter Donahue Martin of San Francisco were married at Newport, R. L. last week in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church. The cere mony was performed by the Rev. Father Deady. The church, which was elaborately decorated with flowers and palms, was filled with guests representing the wealth of the New York summer colony. A wedding breakfast was served at the Oelrichs home. Chinese Diplomats to Visit Us. In a couple of weeks Sir Liang Chen Tung, the new Chinese minister, will reach Washington with Prince Chen, head of the commission sent to Berlin by the Chinese government to expiate the murder of Baron Ketteler, the German minister who was killed by "boxers" in Pekin two years ago. Sir Liang is a Yale graduate and at one time was official interpreter to the Chinese embassy at Washington. His accomplishments as a diplomat have been attested on numerous occasions. Prince Chen and suite will visit several places in this country before sailing from Vancouver for his home. Fireproof Railroad Cars All the new trains on the Central London railway are to be of fireproof construction, steel and asbestos being largely used. Other precautions for the safety of passengers are being taken. Efforts to Fight Consumption. Within the last ten years more new methods have been devised for dealing with consumption than any other human ailment. Kansas Notes --- The postoffice at Glenwood, Leavenworth county, Kas, has been discontinued; mall to Bonner Springs. Isaac T. Lockard, an old resident of Topeka, and for many years a prominent local politician died Wednesday at the age of 70 years. Charles L. Vermillion, of Hiawatha, has been appointed a bookkeeper, and Fred Lees, of Downs, appointed typewriter in the agricultural department at Washington. The Western Negro Press Association, composed of fifty editors from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Oklahoma, will hold their annual session in Topeka, August 4 to 6. The Rev. Mr. Pullet laid the cornerstone of a church in Pawnee last week. Wellington's new electric light plant began business this week, furnishing a cloud of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night. Anthony has a brass band with fifty members and when they all get busy the noise is so terrific that all range cattle within fourteen miles writhe. A camp of gypsies has established itself in Ottawa. The Republic says they will "tell your fortune or steal your chickens with charming impartiality." 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. A Winfield paper tells of a man who "was tapped four times by the doctor." How much did the doctor get? There is gold in Trego county shale after all. Robert McKnight has been sued for appropriating $13,000 of the funds of one of the shale companies. Commenting on the failure of the watermelon crop in Kansas this year, Victor Murdock says: "It has rained too much. The Kansas watermelon is in its glory when it can reach out over an acre of ground, gather six drops of moisture together, store it away, and let all other vegetation die." The postoffice at New Almeto, Norton county, Kan., has been reestablished, with Antonius G. Wahlmeier as postmaster. Edwin L. Cobb, of Kansas City, Kan., has been appointed a clerk in the engineer's department of Mississippi river commission at St. Louis. 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. One man in Sumner county objects to free rural mail delivery, and refuses to put out a mail box. He says the government is getting "too all-fired gay." The merchant who hid his money in a waste paper basket when he closed at night and the clerk who burned the contents of the basket when he opened up the next morning live in Pratt. During his long career as an officer of the law, Frank McGrath of Mitchell county has killed sixteen men and captured more than fifty horse thieves. The text book trust has been barred from Kansas by order of the supreme court until it shall obtain a Kansas charter. A Great Bend boy was trying to explain to his best girl what Cuban reciprocity meant, and illustrated in this way: "If I have no wife and want one, and you have no husband and want one, I offer you a husband for a wife. In this way we are each benefited. Now if I should, on the other hand, require you to pay me a sum of money to become my wife, you would object because you would say that I needed you as much as you needed me, and there should be no such discrimination. "You are the United States and I am Cuba, I suppose?" "Yes. "And what is it that the United States wants of Cuba?" asked the young miss. "Sugar." A blush on the already crimson cheeks denoted that he had made the case quite clear and satisfactory, and when she next met her companions she told them how "cutely" he had proposed. Silver ingots weighing two and one-half tons, and valued at $29,761, were piled up on the Emporia depot platform a few days ago. They were being shipped to Bombay from a smelter. Some one has discovered that a Russian thistle can be distinguished from any other weed by squeezing it. The Parsons Sun says this is also a good way to distinguish a hornet from a horsefly. A Smith county photographer got two good pictures of a tornado at a distance of three miles. The twister is described as looking like "an elephant's trunk let down from the sky." The Smith County Journal reports a "bumper" weed crop. "Jay-Buzzard" was the headline of a wedding notice in a Salina paper a few days ago, from which it is seen that birds of a feather do not always flock together. A farmer in McPherson county has what he thinks is a sure scheme for exterminating potato bugs. He catches a few, ties strings around their necks, and hangs them from the vines. The rest of the potato bugs, says this farmer solemnly, take warning and leave the field. Among the "summer outing" books advertised by a devout Topeka dealer are: "Texts Explained," "The Cure of Souls," "Beyond the Gates," "Prayers—Ancient and Modern," "Hymns That Have Helped," and "The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life." Two descendants of the Dymoke family, the hereditary king's champions of England, live in Kansas. One is Mrs. R. S. Fillmore, the wife of a Marshall county physician. Her mother was a Dymoke. The other is Oliver Dimmock of Hiawatha, a retired farmer and stockman. Lawyer as Indian Chief. George C. Hume, a lawyer of Chiltern, Wis. , is about to receive a unique honor. He will be made chief of the rotherhottent Indian nation. Mr. Hume ided the indians gratuitously in filing proofs of the validity of their claims against the government, and in return may have elected the lawyer to the chieftainship of the nation. He will accept, as the office is merely a nominal one and will not interfere with its other duties. Ancestry of Congressman. Congressman Curtis of Kansas, who may be the next senator from that state, has Indian blood in his veins, and is regarded by all red men as their champion in the house. His grandmother belonged to the Kansas, Kaw tribe, and from her he learned the language of her people. She was married to a Frenchman named Papan. Mr. Curtis pays regular visits to the Kawts at their reservation. Good Advice Gettin' married is a sight easier to them that's been through it once than to others. It's surprising' to me that she ain't bent snapped up 'fore this time. She was always a likely pert girl, an 'could a' took her pick an' choice 'fore she married Alph Jepson. If you ever take a notion to a widder, Mr. Pilgreen, don't sit round waitin' for her to forget her first husband. It's right nice to have such feelin', but somebody else'll get the widder.—Matt Crimm in Lippin cott. Wanted—A. Plural. What is the plural of metropolis? Euphony rebels against metropolises. An Australian paper solves the difficulty thus: "The mutual jealousy of Melbourne and Sydney prevents either of these fine cities becoming the commonwealth capital. Way not, then, select one of the smaller metropolis of the states?" The innovation is not justified by any rules of grammar, and illustrates the inconvenience of pressing Greek words into English molds—London Chronicle. A Foolish Lift. Straftford, Wis., July 25th—William Junemann was working with a farmer near this place last summer and one day they got stuck with a load of grain. Mr. Junemann says: "We had to lift like fools and my back cracked and started to hirt me so that I couldn't stand it any longer. The man I was working with took me home and I went to bed. I saw an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills in the paper and I sent and got one fifty cent box. Before I had this box used up I began to feel better and I kept on and very soon my back was well again. "I can't say enough for Dodd's Kidney Pills and I cannot understand why anyone should continue to suffer with backache when Dodd's Kidney pills will cure it so quickly." Aged Gypsy Queen Dead. Ezvira Lovel, the oldest gypsy queen in America, died last week of heart trouble and was buried at sunset in a cemetery near the camp of her little band on tae outskirts of Harrisburg, Pa. The Romany rites were observed, and her wagon and effects were burned. She was ninety-six years old. Kristin A.

Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge leaves no room for doubt. some Health and Pleasure Resorts, Hunting and Fishing Places. Few lines of railway in the United States have so many places of resort for health and pleasure seekers and for sportsmen, as has the Kansas City Southern railway, the great commercial thoroughfare between Kansas City, Mo., and the Gulf of Mexico. Among the health and pleasure resorts noted for their attractive scenery or their medicinal waters, are the following: Neosho, Mo., a park like little city of 3,000 people, with magnolia waters valuable in the cure of rheumatism, kidney troubles, skin and blood diseases. Noel, Mo., is a very attractive little village in McDonald county, sit- uated in a nook in the Ozark mountains on the Elk or Cowskin river one of the best fishing streams in Missouri. The surrounding scenery is magnificent. Siloam Springs, Ark., is a famous health and pleasure resort, having numerous springs of excellent water, far-famed for the cure of rheumatism, stomach diseases, catarrh liver complaint, paralysis, nervous prostration, neuralgia, etc., etc. Sulphur Springs, Ark., is in Benton county and is well arranged for the comfort of $_{5}$ visitors, having hotel accommodations and cottage rooms for about 100 people, the rates varying from $3.500 to $7.00 per week. The springs are specifics in the cure of catarrh of the stomach, malaria, gout, rheumatism, tuberculosis, and kidney trouble. Mena, Ark., has an altitude of 1,500 feet above sea level and has 3,000 inhabitants. It has magnificent mountain scenery and a most admirable summer climate. The Bethesda springs, three miles from town, are noted for their cures of scrofa and blood diseases. Baker Springs, Ark., is twelve miles east of Wickes station, Ark. Their altitude is about 2,000 feet in the most picturesque part of the Ozark mountains. The springs are sulphur and have great curative powers in stomach trouble. The Boggs Springs are at Ascetis P. O. in Polk County, Ark., and are reached by way of Hatton station. The scenery is that common to the Ozark mountains. The four or five springs are noted for their cure of dropsy, Bright's disease, diabetes torpid liver, kidney trouble and diseases peculiar to women. The winter resorts are principally on the Gulf coast, though Mena, Ark., and Ft. Smith, Texarkana and Shreveport, La., also offer many attractions in the way of a pleasant winter climate. Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange and Lake Charles, all on lakes or navigable rivers, are ideal resorts. in mid-winter the weather is balmy and spring-like, and open air exercise is possible all winter. There are splendid opportunities for boating, sailing, rowing and aquatic diversions of all kinds and of game and fish there is an abundance. The hotel accommodations at all these points are good and range in price from $1 to $2 per day and from $3.50 to $7.00 per week. The list of hunting and fishing places is a long one. Small game such as quail and rabbits are abundant at all the stations between Kansas City and the Arkansas State line. South of Joplin, Mo., turkeys, squirrels and deer can be added to the list. South of Ft. Smith, particularly near Mena, Hatton, Granniss, De Queen, turkeys, deer, bear, wildcats, etc., are abundant, also in the pine woods from Shreveport south to Beaumont. Geese and ducks in season are found in all the waters along the line, but from Shreveport south they are found by millions during the winter months. Good fishing can be had almost anywhere on the line. In Lake Sabine both fresh and salt water fish are found in the greatest abundance. Herring, mullet, stingrays, sea cat, trout, flounders and other edible and game fish abound, as well as great tarpons, alligator gars and large fish. A few miles out in the Gulf there is a plentitude of red fish, red snappers, sharks, tarpon pompano, menhaden and other fish. In the waters near the Gulf there is hardly a place where fish and feathered game cannot be found in almost countless numbers. Those who are interested in either health or pleasure resorts or hunting or fishing can gain accurate information on the subject by addressing S. G. Warner, the General Passenger Agent, at Kansas City, Mo. Doctors in Europe. The shortage of doctors in Russia is the subject of an article in a St. Petersburg journal, which publishes statistics of the proportion of doctors in other European countries per 100,000 inhabitants. Great Britain heads the list with 180, Switzerland has 52, Germany 30, and Russia 8. In order to bring the percentage to the same level as Great Britain, Russia will have to have 130,000 doctors. At present there are only about 17,000. Settling Succession Problem. The emperor Francis Joseph bravely faced this knotty problem a little while ago in the interests of his dynasty. Of two archdukes who are brothers, the elder, Franz Ferdinand, may become emperor, but his no-royal wife is not to be empress; and should he have sons they remain outside the succession. The younger, Otto, married to a royal princess, and his sons after him are to count as Franz Ferdinand's successors. Hereditary Inhalation A little girl was visiting her grandma, who lived on a farm. One of the cows which had learned to jump fences had a little calf. One day the little calf was seen attempting to jump over a fence. The child, seeing it, exclaimed: "Oh, grandma, see that little calf jumping the fence! It must have inhaled it from its mother!"

THE BEST PRESS MADE LEAST F 457 MILL S SURGICAL OPERATIONS How Mrs. Bruce, a Noted Opera Singer, Escaped an Operation, Proof That Many Operations for Ovarian Troubles are Unnecessary. *“DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—Travelling for years on the road with irritable means and keep my damp beds, broke down my health so completely two years ago that the physician advised a complete rest, and when I had gained MRS. G. BRUCE sufficient vitality, an operation for ovarian troubles. Not a very cheerful prospect, to be sure. I, however, was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sensitive Wash; I did so, fortunately for me. Before a month had passed I felt that my general health had improved; in three months more I was cured, and I have been in perfect health since. I did not lose an engagement or miss a meal. Compound is certainly wonderful, and well worthy the praise your admiring friends who have been cured are ready to give you. I always speak high of it, and you will admit I have good reason to do so."—Mrs. G. Bruce, Lansing, Mich. $5000 forfelt if above testimonial is not genuine.
