DANIEL wooOsoN AT REST.
The First Secretary OF Kansas Territory
and Acting Pro-Slayery Governor.

The First Secretary OF Kansas Territory
and Acting frO-Slavery Governor.
COFFEYvILLE Kan, Oct. S.-Daniel
Woodson, first secretary of Kansas
territory and acting governor in
1888, died at Claremore last night.
The body was taken to Leavenworth
to-day for interment. He was born
in Albemarle county, Virginia, in
1924, and was editor of the Lynchburr
Republican when little more than a
boy. In 1851 he edited the Repub.
lican Advocate at Richmond, Va. In
1854 be was offered and accepted the
place of secretary of the territory of
Kansas. then just formed. He served
until 1857 when, by reason of n va
cancy in the governors Office, ne be-
came acting governor, and so served
until Mr.. Geary was appointed. In
1888 he was appointed receiver of
public moneys with headquarters at
hickapoo, Leavenworth county. When
President Lincoln was inaugurated
he retired from public life and be-
came farmer for a time. Later he
came here and for years was printer
and village clerk. His three children
live in Leavenworth. During the
past twenty five years he had lived
very obscure life and for over twenty
years had not visited Topeka.
Mr. Woodson was acting governor
during the most turbulent period in
the early history OF Kansas. He was
firm pro-slavery man and always
signed the bills passed by the pro
slavery or bogus" legislature. His
last act was the approval of the fugi-
tive slave law, which, however, was
never enforced in any way. 1t pre-
scribed the penalty of death to anyone
who should decoy slaves from their
masters or incite them to instruction
in any way whatsoever.

The reports of correspondents on
wheat feeding show that farmers to a
large extent have tested the value of
wheat (when ground) as food for all
classes of stock and are using it free
~ and deriving benefits from its use
that are surprising Many of the
correspondents who have made scien-
tifc tests state that one bushel of
wheat when ground and properly fed
Is equal to one and one-half bushels
of corn, and as this is a year when it
will have to be used to large extent,
it is apt to revolutionize the stock
feeding business.
Another prominent feature of the
report is the large number of coun-
ties reporting disease among hogs.
In the eleven states disease is re-
ported in Ill counties. There have
been thousands of pigs from 20 to 40
pounds weight shipped from Nebraska
and South Dakota into Iowa, Illinois
and other states, and it is principally
among these hogs that the disease
started and spread to native hogs.

THE ARMIES OF EUROPE.
Official Figures OF Interest Compiled by
the War Department.

the War Department.
WASHINGTON, Oct S.-The war de-
partment has issued from the military
information division of the adjutant
generals Office a volume of notes of
organization, armaments and military
progress in American and European
armies. 1t gives in an epitomized
form the strength and formation of
the more important foreign military
organizations and detailed descrip-
ton of the small arms and side arms
in use at home and abroad.
Some of the figures showing the
military strength of nations given in
this volume are significant in view of
their reliability and possible Eu-
ropean wars. The war footings are as
follows: Austro-H Hungary, l,l94I75;
Belgium, 10000; Great Britain total
regulars and volunteers in England
and colonies, 662, 900; France, 1885,
900 Excluding $50, 200 men classed as
auxiliaries); Germany, 1900, 900; Italy,
3,l5j,O36; Russia, 1904 65; Spain,
100000; Switzerland, 4S6, 900.
Some idea of the enormous cost of
maintaining the great military forces
may be gathered from the statement
of annual expenditures on their ac-
count, as follows: Austro. Hungary,
$50, 235, 600; Belgium, 50, 346, 600; Eng
land, $4,000, 900; France, Sl27, 900, 900;
Germany, Sis, lis s25; Russia, $780,
$4,000; Spain, SOS, l2S, 900; Switzer.
land, S10,55O,OOO. Thus it appears
the nations named in this list expend
each year in their military establish
ments the sum of S631, 226, s25.

MANUFACTURED PURCHASES
SMALLER THAN EXPECTED.
WHEAT AGAIN LOWER THAN EYER
Condition Of the Industries i in Some
Respects More Satisfactory-Larger
Demand for Iron Products Than
There Was Month Ago-De-
crease in the Number of
Business Failures.

New YORK, Oct S.-Duns Weekly
Review of Trade says: With the chief
money crops of the West and South
sinking in value it is not strange that
purchases Of manufactured products
are smaller than was expected. Wheat
has touched the lowest point ever
known for options, and cotton the
lowest ever known in any form with
the present classification, and the ac-
emulation OF stocks in both products
is discouraging to the purchasers for
an advance. Producers are compelled
to sell at prices below the ordinary
cost of raising crops and in some
Western states there is also lament
able failure Of the corn crop. Under
the circumstances it would be very
strange if the demand for manufac-
tured products should be quite as
large as in other years.
Wheat suffers from accumulation of
stocks in sight, which are far beyond
what is usually expected for the sea-
son and the exports in September
were unusually small. For the first
week of October Atlantic exports
were 1897, 372 bushels, against $685.
TAO last year; and Western receipts
were only 4,61j,6OO against 6.13O. 6S7
last year and these figures give some
encouragement, but little influence in
view Of the unusual visible supply.
The price for cash wheat is a small
fraction higher for the week.
Corn receipts at the West have only
been a third as large as they were
last year, with exports amounting to
nothing, but the price has not further
declined after the heavy fall during
the previous fortnight Pork products
are weak in tone, though only lard is
quotably lower
The condition of the industries is
IN some respects more satisfactory.
Evidently there is larger demand
for iron products than there was a
month ago, although the increase in
output has been somewhat greater
than the increase in the demand, so
that prices steadily tend downward.
Failures for the past week have
2l9 in the United States, against 400
last year, and 80 in Canada. against

BALLOT CANNOT BE MARKED.
Attorney General Little Renders De-

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. S.-A letter

attorney general states that an at
tempt will be made to ascertain how
certain citizens of Shawnee county
cast their voles in the coming cleo.
ton, and inquiring if any marks
can be put upon the ballots by the
judges of election. or by any other
person, by which it can be determined
by whom the vote is cast. In answer
to the proposition General Little SAYS:
Il have carefully examined the
Australian ballot law. and find that
one of the purposes of this law is to
prevent any person knowing for
whom the voter casts his vote. If any
judge of any election shall, with
view of determining how any voter
shall cast his vote, mark the same in
any way, he should be reported at
once to the county attorney, and such
judge should be immediately prose-
cuted for such violation of the law"
