A Flag Made in 1776.

OLATHE, KAN, May 5.-Mrs. R. E. Steven
son, Mrs. ]. w. Norvell, Mrs. I. o. Picker.
Ing, Mrs. Charles Sprague. Mrs. John T.
Little and Mrs. E. Clark, worlds fair COM
mittee of this county, had presented to them
by Mrs. c. c. Sholes, of this city, a flag
made IN 1776 and carried by Mr.. sholes'
grandfather, Joseph Sholes, through the
battles of Plattsburg, N. Y, and Hubberton,
VT, in the war of 1872.
The flag is about five feet square, made of
pure white silk. with the picture of large
American eagle on it holding in one claw an
olive branch and in the other a shield with
thirteen red and white stripes, above which,
in blue field, are thirteen small stars rep
resenting the thirteen original states. It
holds in it's beak red ribbon on which are
the words E Pluribus Unum, around which
are thirteen large stars.
The original ribbon, about four feet in
length, is still preserved by which the flag
was tied to the flagstaff. Although the body
of the flag was originally pure white, it now
bears a crimson hue, and, although 100
years old and through many battle, the
American eagle and the thirteen stars repre-
senting the thirteen states are yet plain.
while the flag itself is quite tattered and
torn.
There is but one other like it in the world
and it now is a valuable relic in the Smith
sonian Institution. This flag will be for
warded to Chicago and will be seen in the
Kansas building.

DOWNWARD
Tendency of Prices, Yet Pro-
duce is Higher.
Exports Very Small-Trade Balance Piled
e1O,0oO.OOO Higher-The Panic Soon
Struck sound and Healthy Sub
Base of Business.

New YoRK, May 8.-R. G. Dun's weekly
review is as follows: Had business in Wall
street been unsounder or more unhealthy
the collapse of prices during the past week
might have caused panic. Nearly all
stocks fell, but the industrials were most
seriously depressed. Several failures oc-
CURED within the general disturbance and
the appointment of receivers for Cord
age shows in some sense relief. Other
speculative markets are not whole. out
rather stronger than week ago. At nearly
all points the backward season and bad
weather with slow collections give cause OF
complaint. The iron trade shows no inn
provement There is pressure to sell from
the west. No. Ii sold st $3.50. Birming-
ham and Bessemer has fallen to $124O at
Pittsburg. Bar is cut again and structural
IRON is slower. Sales of IL, OCO 600 pounds OF
lake copper to American consumers ut IL
cents are reported. Tin and lead are weak
and coal dull In the boot and shoe trade
there has rarely been such duliness.
Receipts of cattle at the west are slightly
larger than a year ago. Wool sales at Bos-
ton. Philadelphia and New York for the year
are $500 600 pounds less than last year to
date Trade in woolens is narrow and dis
appointing and in cottons waiting and un-
certain. Speculative markets have been
rather strong. Wheat has advanced cent;
corn n and pork rs cents per barrel, with
scarcely any discoverable reason, though
western reports regarding the coming crops
are satisfactory. Oil has dropped nearly 8
cents per barrel, but cotton is unchanged,
though sales here have been heavy.
Prices of commodities averaged 40 of 1
per cent lower than week ago and the
tendency is downward as the monetary diff
ficulties increase. Exports from New York
were very small last week and for the last
four weeks have been about 81, 600, 900 below
those of last year, so that the imports for the
past month were probably $4,000 or more
greater than the exports. Among the fail
ures of the week only one is reported as rat
ing above SOC, 900; only one between $685. 900
and $500, 900; two between $40, 600 and $751;
600, eight between $4,000 and $4,000. In
all only fifteen rating exceeding $4,000 out
of 240 IN all the United States and Canada

Worlds Fair Walters Strike.

CHICAGO, May 4-The walters strike has
extended to the worlds fair. and though tenn
porarily settled it will break out again. All
the men employed there demanded they be
given SIS per week instead of $40 per month,
the present wages. The demand was granted,
and now they have made up their minds to
ask for $40 per week, and will strike if they
do not get it. About 500 men are employed
at the fair grounds.
In down town restaurants matters were in
little better shape for the hungry public.
Several houses signed the scale and opened
for business while some others managed to
obtain few men and improved their busi-
ness. The demand for increa sed wages will
be made on all the first class hotels, and if
the demand 10 not granted the result will ba
q strike.

Still Another Committee Meeting.

The arrival in Topeka of John Y. Mofitt,
before the members of the senate Doodle in
vestigating committee had left town, gave
occasion for another meeting of the COM
mittee after they had concluded that their
work of taking testimony was done.
Mr.. Moffitt testified that all he knew about
the matter which was made the subject of
the Topeka Capitals article, in which he
was quoted as detailing the Doodle charges
about Kline, Legate, Close, ct al, was based
on a conversation he heard in a hotel be-
tween two men he did not know; and which
was about 81, 500 said to have been brought
to Topeka from Kansas City to influence
legislation.
He testified that his talk with Major Hud-
son at the Copeland, which wss made the
basis of the article referred to, was intended
to be private conversation and not to be
published.
Concerning the testimony given by Mr..
Mofitt as above, Pat Coney says:
1t was suggested by Mr.. Mofitt that an
item should appear in the Capital the next
morning about the matter. Thereupon, Mr..
Moffitt and myself went direct to Major
Hudson's room at the Copeland. We found
Major Hudson busily writing. We made
known the purport of our VISIT and Mr..
Moffitt and myself (but mostly Mr.. Mofitt)
stated the knowledge that was in his and
my procession relative to the Legate Doodle,
which was nearly exactly as published in the
Capital the next morning, except that Mof-
fit said he did not believe that Lewelling
was in 1t, although it looked dubious for
him, but he was confident that Close and
Judge Little received 800 of the money.
The information was given to Major Hud-
son by Mr.. Moffitt and myself for publica-
ton. Mr.. Hudson while we we're in the room
wrote the headlines of the article and read
them to US. which Mr.. Moffitt heartily ap-
proved of and gleefully chuckled over.

Mueh Tsrritory Una.r waser.


81. LOUIS, May 4-Floods are reported,
and very bad ones too, In Missouri. Arkan-
cas-, Illinois and Ohio.
At SteelvilIe, Mo, over three inches of rain
fell Sunday night and at o'clock Tues
day morning people who were not slready
awake were reused by the ring of church bells
and informed that tremendous food was de-
scending on the town. The water was soon
shoulder high in the main street of the town,
and men on horseback conveyed people
who lived in the lower parts to places of
safety. Buildings were flooded, J ard fences,
gardens and shrubbery swept away, the
railroad tracks and bridges carried off aud
the streets gulleyed in places fully six feet.
Between Salem and Steelville the railroad
is washed out in six or seven places.
Inrsouthern Illinois all the streams are
out of their banks and farms are flooded in
every direction, while conservative estimates
place the damage done already at 500, 600.
Many farmers will be completely ruined.
At Clay City, Ill, the Little Wabash Is two
miles wide.
CINCINNATI, O.-The great damage il
along the small rivers. The Miami is higher
than at any time since 1848, and the paper
mills at Franklin and Middleton were COM
PEELED to stop work. Thousands of acres of
planted ground are submerged. The city
park at ChilIlcothe is flooded and the bot
tom lands are all under water. MuskIng-
UNI is very high.

Weather Cron bulletin.

The weather crop bulletin of the United
States weather bureau at Topeka, Kan, for
the week ending May is as follows:
Nearly the whole state has received some
rain this week, but it was light everywhere
except in the eastern division. Cop;ous
rains have fallen In the eastern division,
heavy rams in the eastern half of it, and ex-
cessive rains in the eastern counties south
of the Kaw. While the rain was generally
light over the mSddle and western divisions
it was better IN some localities than others
fair rain in the extreme southeastern
counties, and from Lane to Republic, which
would have been sufficient if the pre-
ceding drouth had not been of such long
duration

The Santa f. the Least Affected.

President Reinhart, of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, was in Topeka during the New York
stock panic. He said to reporter:
81 have received several kilograms from
New York and the last indications were that
the market was more stable. Wall street
was frightened, but later reports are more
assuring, and / hope there will not be a
panic.
''Santa Fe is among the stocks least af-
fected by furry of this kind. 1t is not a
dividend paying stock being held principally
by New England people who are satisfied
that it is good property. There Ii but
little Santa Fe stock on the speculative mar
ket, and in time like this We are among
the roads the least affected.
THAT most affected is dividend paying
stocks and mercantile stocks, such as sugar
and Gotten seed oil Santa Fe has, in my
belief, gone about as low as it will. and you
will see that as soon as the market shows
tendency TO be firm, it will go up quickly
several points"

Almost a Panic In wall strees.

New York May 6.-Dozens of brokers
failed to meet their contracts and went over
board. Stock shrunk all the way from to
in industrial stocks and soon spread to rail
ways.
Money on call went up to 20 per cent. at
one time: but hung about and z por
cent mostly. Sterling exchange got easier
at about 4.851S for 60 days and 1881 for
demand in bankers bills.
The shrinkage of industrial stocks was
great, and the more they declined the greater
anxiety there appeared to sell; yet buying
orders came in fast enough to hold back
from panicky break.
In the midst of the excitement word came
that the Bank of England had advanced tho
rate of discount from ~ to per cent

The Sunday Opening Question.

CHICAGO, May d-Chairman Mackey, of
the committee, then made a report on the
Eibeck resolution, which asked that the Sum-
day closing question be referred to the local
directory. The committee was against a
Sunday opening resolution. The report was
received and will be further discussed. A
large number of the national commission
ers ia 70 opening the gates on Sundays.
There is some talk to the effect that the
local directors may take the matter out of
the hands of the national commission and
open the gates regardless of the rule forbid
ding it. The directors are saying very little
as to their intention. 1t is said, however,
that tickets are ready for use Sunday next,
and all preparations have been made to
open the gates without announcing the fact
until it is too late for legal interference.
A building permit has been taken out for
an International Sunday School building, to
be erected on the fair grounds and finished
June 10. Services are to be held every Sun
day morning and evening while the fair is
in progress, and are to be conducted by the
most noted divines in this country and Eu-
rope.
Some restaurants are charging exorbitant
prices. At one eating house the price of
roast beef is 81, and 10 cents extra is charged
for the privilege of eating 1t; another resort
charges Is cents for slice of pie. The local
papers have taken up the cry against this
sort of imposition, and it Is probable the
management will regulate the matter. Many
visitors to the fair bring their own lunches.

Anthony ard Mitchell.

TOPEKA, May 4-The Anthony case con.
tains one point not covered in the Mitchell
case; that in reference to Anthony's bond.
Anthony holds that his bond is legal, but if he
should be sustained by the court on that ques-
ton he will lose his Office anyway on the ques-
ton decided in the Mitchell case giving
the executive council power to remove the
commissioners at pleasure, although they
are elected for term of three years. The
court in its decision said:
1--WE can no more strike from the statute
the clause The executive council may at
any time remove such commissioners or
any of them and elect others to fill the va
cancy,' thar we can eliminate the words
continue in Office for the term of three
years."
The closing words of the decision, which
was written by Chief Justice Horton and
concurred il by both Associate Justices
johnson and Allen, are as follows:
1.-The courts are for the people, not for
party, and every person should confidently
apply to them with the assurance that his
rights. and not his politics will be con-
sidered and adiudicated. A free govern
ment is best subserved when based upon
equitable and just laws, with fair and i'm
partial courts open and ready as far as pos.
siple to redress prieyances,n

The Starr Gang Still Mt IT.

PARSONS, KAN, May six bandits, sup.
pused to be members of the Starr gang, held
up south bound passenger train on the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway, at Pryor
Creek, /. 7. 1t was o'clock 2. M, and the
train was signalled in the darkness. The
train men were first covered and then
guarded by two of the bandits, while the
other four practiced their profession; first
entering the express car.
They threatened the messenger with pistol
and knife, ordering him to open the safe,
but he refused to accede to their demands.
Finding it useless to coerce the express mes
senger they then went to the back part Of
the train and relieved all of the passengers
of their money and valuables.
CONSERVATION prevailed among the passen-
gers and several ladies tainted.
After depositing the money and valuables
in a sack, the bandits backed out of the car
firing about forty pistol shots into the air
and escaped IN the darkness.
The amount of booty secured by the BAN
dts is unknown, but is supposed to be con-
siderable over $1,000.
