A POPULIST OUTRAGE.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 15.-J. f. Todd,
state labor commissioner, has got himself
into trouble so serious that Governor
Lewelling may be compelled to ask his
resignation. He is charged with no less
an orense than, either in person or by
the aid of confederate, entering the
private Office of Chief Justice Albert IL.
Horton and abstracting therefrom private
letters. which he published in his paper,
the Industrial Advocate of Ell Dorado,
with scaudalous comments. The news
paper head read, in part: Horton tirts
with the girls. One Judge Horton, an
unprincipIed reprobate that for years has
disgraced the bench of the state, seems to
have recently been entertaining company
of questionable character" The Advo-
cate then publishes verbatim a letter
signed Miss Belle Jones" and addressed
10 Judge Horton from Altoona, Pa,
June 26
When shown the letter today Judge
Horton admitted that it was genuine, but
denounced the construction put upon il as
unfair, indecent and untrue. He said
that be received the letter soon after the
time 1T bears date, aud at once put it
away in his freak file" He regards it as
an innocent communication of freakish
woman. He WAS, howevor, indignant
when he saw the letter III print. The
judge went 10 sea Todd, but the latter had
gone to FL Dorado The matter will rest

THE KANSAS MINERS.

PITTSBURG, Kan, July 15.-The stu
alton of the coal miners strike remains
much the same but new developments are
continually taking place. Yesterday after
noon the sheriff at Girard was telegraphed
Ly the superintendent of the Midway
mines to send him number OF deputies
10 protect his workmen. AS a result fif-
teen armed men are guarding these mines
this afternoon.
President Walters left for the scene of
action about . O'Clock this morning to at
tend mass meeting of the strikers, called
for 10 O'Clock, the object being to persuade
the miners there to stop work He said
that he would also call on the working
miners at Morgan & Lees and the Kansas
and Texas works before returning No
violence will be attempted by the strikers
unless arrests should follow for trespass
Yesterday afternoon teamster working
at the Morgan works was severely beaten
by a number of strikers. HIS assaiIants
were arrested. The arrests are causing
much threatening talk among the strikers,
and, it is thought, will result in trouble of
g serious character.
The meeting was held as arranged.
President Walters presided. After an ex-
preston of the views of those present it
WAS decided to send committee, headed
by President Walters, TO the Midway
mines to induce the miners to quit work
This was done The committee. find

men, applied to the management to gain

readily granted them, and Il number of

AMERICAN HAY IN DEMAND.

New YORK, July 15-Forage dealers
throughout the countryhave been tum bling
over each other during the last few months
to get the hay which they have held over
from last season into this and other cities
for export to Europe The occasions when
American farmers have been called upon
TO supply foreign countries with hay have
been so rare that this year will prove Il
phenomenal one in the lives Of the
grangers. A representative of the big
commission house of Williams g. Eckerson
says that, Judging by the way the American
farmers are striving to supply The foreign
demand for hay, Europe will soon have all
she needs.
''All the hay in the Market" he said. sis
of last years crop None of this years
hay has come ia yet. The immense guam
titles coming in show how the farmers
have been hanging on TO it. Market men,
who have never heretofore paid much at
teDtion to hay, are buying it i'll this city
at from Sl7 to $50 a ton and sending it
abroad. We have been getting $50 ton
for 1t abroad, and the persons to whom it is
consigned pay the freight, which is about
$40 ton. This makes the hay cost them
$40 a ton, and by the time the consumer
gets 1t it must reach the phenomeuaily
big price of $50. The cause of the scarcity
of the foreign crop of fodder is said to have
been the dry weather last year The same
condition of affairs exists this year In
this country no scarcity OF forage is
threatened, and the yield this year prom
ises TO be big enough to supply every de-
mand made upon iC.

! pared is also applicable to many differ
ent purposes The cost is very little
more than the raw material, being
! cheap and the process of manufacture
| inexpensive.
Another invention of moment is one
which enables waste paper to be con-
| verted into kegs, barrels and vessels
| OF every description. In making kegs
and barrels ingenious machinery is en-
ployed, which enables the manufac-
turer to turn them out with solid heads
if desired. There will be a large de-
mand for the product in the shape of
kegs and barrels for powder, as no
dampness can be contracted, since they
are water and damp proof.
The latest improvement in dynamos
is one which gives a continuous cur
rent without brushes and accumula-
tors. Scientists were incredulous and
pronounced this impossible. but the
proof of the pudding is in the eating,
and the new dynamo gives strong
and continuous current notwithstand-
ing it was declared an impossibility.
At least one of the first electricians of
England, who was an unbeliever, now
certities that the new dynamo is a sue
cess.
Most important Improvements have
been made by an Austrian long domi-
ciled in England in methods and appa-
ratus for distillation. A new ferment
has been discovered, and improve
ments have been made in distilling APP
paratus and in MASKING machinery and
appliances which promise to complete
ly revolutionize the manufacture of
spirits. The bye products which are
saved and utilized leave the spirits al
most free of cost. The still is most
important invention, since it separates
the fusel Oil and other products from
the spirits in the process of distilla
ton. giving in three separate receivers
the three distinct products, and, if re-
quired, by a simple change in the ap-
paratus, instead of getting high wines,
pure neutral spirits can be obtained.
thus obviating separate rectifcation to-
produce refined alcohol. The ferment
is made fresh for each mash and there
results a luxuriant crop of yeast,
which is treated and sold to bakers
and for domestic purposes. This alone
IS source of large revenue to the dis"
tillers, as the yeast is of a very superb
or quality and the demand for it is
practically unlimited. The yield of
spirits is more than one-fourth more
than by old processes. Green malt in
stead of dried malt is used, which is
source of considerable economy. The
very best Irish and Scotch whisky is
produced and fifty per cent. raw maize
substituted for the matted oats hereto
fore used, which in itself effects very
large saving

And the Young Man Was Thereby Started
the Road to Affiuence.
A group of well-dressed and prosper
ous-looking business men sat about
ia BILE in a famous downtown restau-
rant few days ago, chatting on all
sorts of topics and watching the smoke
wreaths from their cigars float up to
the frescoed ceiling. The conversation
drifted after time into tales of busi-
ness success, and the eldest and most
imposing member of the party did his
share by telling this story:

AN INTEREST DECISION

TOPEKA, Kan, July 15-iudge Hazeo
has decided a question OF some Importance
TO those who loan or borrow money on
short time. 1t was provided BY the sec
ond section OF the interest law of 1879 that
parties TO promissory note might stipu-
late therein for interest at a rate not To
exceed ~ per cent. per annum, with pro-
vision that any person so contracting for
greater rate should forfeit all interest SO
contracted FOR an excess of 10 per cent,
aud In addition thereto sum equal TO the
amount OF such excess WAS To be deducted
from the principal and lawful interest.
Judge Hazen holds that this section an
plies only where such a contract is made
In writing and not where the agreement To
pay the excessive rate Is made orally: that
ali payments of usurious interest made
for extension after the note is due are con.
strued as payment on the principal aud
lo per cent. Interest, and work 40 forfeiture
of u sum equal TO the excess over 10 per
cent 10 be deducted from the PRINCIPAL
and lawful interest.

CUTTING RATES.

CHICAGO, July 15.-The action of the
Moron at indianapolis yesterday in max
ing round-trip rate of s. from louisville
and of 81. 80 from indianapolis will just
about knock tne bottom out of rates all
over Central Traffic association territory
The rates put Ill by the Monon are little
over cent per mile, and it is more than
probable that a l-CenJ basis will be
adopted. The Monou officials say that
they have put in the present rates because
of the unsettled conditions resulting from
the actions of the Pennsylvania and the
Big -Four. If these roads will allow the
matter to rest the Monon will make no
further reductions at present. The only
possible way TO avert Il red-hot fight is the
adoption of the l-cent per mile basis. The
roads may be "a little slow in coming to
this, but there is no doubt that it is the
honest opinion of a majority of the inter
ested lines, and the chauces are very stroSg
that Mondays meeting of the Ohio River
association will terminate with "a 1-cent

THE SOUTH CAROLINA JOINTS.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 15.-Governor
Tillman has made move against the
blind tigers in Charleston. Tney have
been running two weeks, since the dispen-
sary law went into effect, and while it is
true that every house in Charleston has a
supply of stimulants stored away-enough
to last six months-the bling tigers'which
sprung into existence on July have been
doing thriving business. For about ten
days the city has been thronged with the
governors spies. Two days ago the assist
ant attorney general of the state arrived
here, and has been in consultation with
the spies and the prosecuting officer of the
county. The attorney general applied to
q magistrate for search warrants. but that
official refused to Issue them, owing to
some legal technicality. The course of
proceedings, If taken as now sketched out,
will. it may be safely said, precipitate Il
storm ana ouicry far SURPRISING any

ton of the law Magma charta,
bill of rights, trial by jury. are all
TO be set aside. simultaneously
cused Oh charges OF violation
of the dispensary law, and before trial and
conviction, his place Of business is to be
condemned and abated as Il nuisance, the
premises searched and the goods and CHAT
tells confisca.ed to the state and carried
away. This is the program that Governor
Tillman proposes to enforce in the me-
tropolis of the state. 1t is no secret that
its enforcement will be resisted by force if
necessary; in fact, it is no secret that
good many of the suspects have armed
themselves aud are prepared TO defend the
of their premises at the point of
the pistol, aud it is equally certain that
the popular sympathy is ell tirely on their
side.
CHARLESTON, S. c., July 15.-The an
ticipatec arrests of liquor dealers of
Charleston for violating the Evans dis
pensary law were begun today. There was
great excitement among the people, and
the officers were jeered and hissed as they
