No Reef Has Besn Found.

The statement that the United States coast survey steamer Endeavor had discovered a reef close to the end of the new breakwater appears to have been without foundation. Not only has no reef or dangerous rock been discov- cred, but the Endeavor has not yet be- gun its real work. The men aboard the vessel say they do not think they, will find any obstruction to navigation in this vicinity beyond tllese that have al. ready been marked. $;

DEAFNESS Cannot be cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the dise4sed portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have u
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous

Tom Shanahan a Farm LabOrer
Living Near Salina,
Is Found Dead on the Union
Pacific Tracks.

A Wichita Man Receives a Medal
from Congress.
OTHER STATE NEWS.

SALINA, June 19.-The dead body of
man was found lying few feet from the
Union Pacific track, at the junction of
the track with the county road near Dry
Creek. There was a large hole in the
back OF his head, the skull having been
crushed in horrible manner; the nose
was also broken and there were several
bad wounds on the forehead and face.
The body way lying face downward in a
pool of blood, and there was no evil
dence to indicate that a struggle had
taken place, the conclusion has been
formed that the unfortunate man was
killed by being struck by a passing
train.
The body was identified as that of Tom
Shanahan, farm laborer, who came to
town Sunday morning, and the general
belief is that he started home late Sun
day night in partially Intoxicated con-
dition, went to sleep upon the track, and
was struck by the 3:15 west bound pas
senger. His body was still warm when
discovered and it is not thought that he
could have been killed more than three
hours before. DR.. Switzer found several
keys, some tobacco, twenty cents in
money, and small flask full of whisky
on the body.

REORGANIZATION.


Santa Fe Matters.
Mr.. Stephen Little who represents the
committee of the Santa Fe, is in Topeka
making an inspection of the financial
affairs of the company.
When seen by a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter today in the office of Auditor Nc
kibben in the general Office building,
Mr.. Little had just finished an interview
with Judge j. b. johnson. master in
chancery of the United States, who is in
direct charge of the legal business of
the receivers.
Judge Johnson informed Mr.. Little
that he would assist him in every way
possible in getting what information he
desires, and assured him that there was
nothing to cover up, in the management
of the road.
To JOURNAL reporter Mr.. Little said:
these two reorganization committees,
one in New York and the other in Lon
don. having agreed upon basis of reor-
ganizatiOn, selected me as nOn-inter-
ested party to make a careful investiga-
ton of the financial condition of the
company.
81 came here from Chicago with Mr.
W. K Gillette. the auditor, and will re-
main here some days inspecting the af-
fairs of the company and looking after
all that portion of the system which is
represented in the books aud accounts
kept in these offices.
From Topeka l shall go to Albu-
querque. l have not yet determined
whether l shall make trip over the At
lantic and Pacific to Los Angeles or not.
1 may go to Guaymas but at any rate 1
will visit the st. Louis offices before re-
turn east"
Mr.. Little said it was his understand
ing that in the reorganization scheme to
be announced in New York today the
mortgage bonds known as "A's' are to
be transferred into income bonds which
will place $3O,OOO,OOO at the disposal of
the company as income. The stB's"
amounting to about $5,OOO,OOO are not
to be touched; neither are the "4's. "
The stock is all to be assessed at $12 a
share.

As in the Brooklyn handicap most peo-
pie believe that the Suburban will be a
contest of east versus west, and that the
struggle will lie between Clifford and
Ramapo. Clifford has not been seen at
the post since he was left by the starter
in the Brooklyn handicap and he has
been specially prepared for the subur-
ban, that much Is considered to be against
him, as a seasoned horse always goes bet
ter in a bruising race, which this years
Suburban is apt to be. Clifford, however
is fast and will give a good account OF
himself, even if he does not get the COW
eted prize. The successive victories of
RamapO this year and his impressive win
in the Metropolitan handicap, will doubt
less make him the favOrite, although he
will not be ridden by TaraL
Garrison, however, is one of the best
of the jockeys if he takes care of him
self, and can ride as good a race as Taral,
Sir Walter Is another good one, but some
year.
He has won from good horses in his
time and when he has been sent again to
the post he has not done we'll, his last de-
feat by Dorian and Sport being inexcus-
able. Don AlonZo may represent the
Dryers instead of Banquet, but if the
owner takes the advice of his friends, he
will not let the former go, as he has
shown himself to be a rank coward IN
his races this year. On the form shown
in his last races Sport has good chance.
for he has done excellent work at Morris
park and is looked upon by many as a
strong possibility.
Pickpocket's last race was so good that
he will be we'll backed. King Lee is an
other western horse, but will have few
supporters, western form not being con-
sidered good enough to win in the east
Kinglet is only the pacemaker for Rama
pc, and is in too high company to do
much. Henry of Navarro will go, and
is fit TO run for his life. His second in
the Brooklyn will make him a strong
choice. Herald has shown some good
work, but he is flying little high, and
the same is true of Stowaway. Comanche
had his trial yesterday at Morris park
but he did not show that he could win
unless the race suits him and he does not
sulk. 1t would be too much to expect
this colt to run two races alike.
The favOrites are apt to be Ramapo,
Clifford, Henry of Navarro, Sport and
Pick nOckRt

This event has always been the most
popular of all the big handicap races.
In the case of the Brooklyn handicap,
few of the contestants had started this
year and their capacity was an unknown
quantity and quality. Such, however, is
not the case with the Suburban, for all
the entries have been seen at the post
this year, and all have been run in good

enough of uncertainty in the recent cleo

The Democrats freely admit, of course,
that they were beaten, but they point out
that in the much exploited judicial dis
trict of Illinois the Republican vote was
smaller than in 1899 and that in Oregon
the successful candidate for governor
only had plurality.
