A BAD BREAK.
Made by an inexperienced Undertakes

Made by an inexperienced Undertakes
at a Funeral
An ex-governor of Massachusetts,
tells the following, illustrative of a call
ing for business: Two brothers had
for many years done an undertaking
business in a suburban town. The elder
had son, Thomas, and desiring to es-
tablish him in life, obtained from his
younger brother promise that Thomas
should be taken into the business when
ever he Cthe elder should die. The
promise was obtained, in spite of a
feeling on the brothers part that Tom
had no calling for the business. The
elder soon died and Thomas became his
uncle's partner. He made good pro-
gress and was soon sent to arrange for
the funeral of wealthy man who left
as his chief mourner a widow who had
already buried two husbands. The
young man returned, having made sat-
isfactory arrangements as to carriages,
music, flowers, etc, much to his uncle's
joy, who now felt that he had mis-
judged the boy. On the following day
the uncle himself went to see that all
was going smoothly and found Mrs. x,
in high dudgeon. Expressing his re-
greet and surprise, he told Mrs. x. that
Tom had returned on the previous day
with everything arranged apparently
satisfactorily, and asked her what was
the matter.
Well she replied, ''Tom did very
well until we discussed the time at
which the services should be held. I
had Eot quite made up my mind, when
| Tom, meaning to help me out, said:

toned to bury your husbands, ma

An Americas bailif, whose weakness
is for cucumbers, struck a store where
the innocent-looking undertaker's as
sistants were on sale. Picking up one
about the size of a coupling pin he
asked the price.
1.-TWO fer nick" was the brief reply
of the up-to-date clerk.
That's too much replied the bailiff.
''Tell you what I'll do, though" he
added I'll give you dime to let me
eat all I want"
The offer was accepted. and the bailif
lit upon a peck measure of cucumbers,
eating them ravenously. AS one after
another disappeared the grocer's boy
became uneasy, and after the twelfth
had disappeared, offered the bailif
quarter to stop
well, I could eat a dozen or two
more" he replied, looking longingly at
the half-flled peck measure, but being
as it's you, I'll call the trade off, And,
pocketing the quarter, he ambled away
in search of another victim. = Atlanta

CRITICISE DIVER.

English Newspapers Make Caustic Com

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE remarks at
tributed to Mr.. Michael F. Dryer. the
American horse owner, in an interview
with him after ne landed from the steam
ship Fulda at New York yesterday, in
treatment in England have been cabled
here and are being severely criticised.
The Sun, for instance, says: because
Dwyer and his horses and his tailor
made jockey have not had matters all
their own way here he declares he has
been swindled, robbed ana hustled most
abominably. We all know the stuff of
which American sport is made, without
mentioning the elements which go to
make it''
The Sportsman remarks: 'sClearly the
latter Mr.. Dwyer) cannot be beaten at
any price. Heaven help US if Valkyrie
beats Defender. The eagle will have a

The Westminster Gazette says: "If we
take our American cousin at what recent
events have shown him to be, it is not
unreasonable to estimate that we should
have very poor opinion OF his sports
manship First, we found Cornell IN
able to take q licking gracefully and
now the same thing appears in racing.
Fortunately we saw last year that Amer
lean athletes are true sportsmen right
through and we know from long exper-
fence that American yachtsmen know
how to behave themselves, or we might
be little inclined to envy Lord Dunraven
and the London Athletic club"

CHICAGO aTARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex-
change, ROen .. CoIumbIAa Building.
There is an unusual paucity of news
to account for the action of the market
today in an intelligent manner. In fact,
there was a tagging of interest on both
sides. The inveterate enemies OF the
bulls, though, possessed what few facts
there were and used them to good al
vantage. At the opening the quotation
showed an overnight depreciation of Il
over the disappointment contained il the
cable Information. One would have nat
urally expected an advance on the other
side following yesterdays Improvement in
ARerican markets but such was not the
case, Liverpool was quoted steady but
A015d lower. The price ruled quite
firm around 6615 until advices from the
local weather bureau limited at the posi-
bilities of frost IN the north west for to-
night and indications for frosty condi-
tions in Nebraska. This news had
more of an effect on corn than on wheat
but at same time it incidentally assisted
in firming values and putting the price
over SIC temporarily. No interest mani
tested by the outside and commission
people complained of a lack of bust
ness consequently the pit operations
were mainly conducted by the scalpers.
The prospect of further gold ship
ments had a weakening effect when it
became known about the middle of the
day that at least 100000 would go out
by steamer tomorrow. The market lost
all of its strength and then a quick
break to a fraction under &c was Gevel-
oped, and from there the recovery was
feeble. Notwithstanding the reported
actual working of 100000 bushels of
wheat at the seab0ard yesterday, the
clearances were SO small again as really
not to deserve consideration, amounting
to but 81, 900 bushels in wheat and -four.
Closing cables were Indifferent in tone
and lower in price.
The market is in rut at present and it
will take something very promising
in the way of bull news to lift it out
Corn and oats.-Septembe corn fur
nished another sensation. This morning
opened at 584c, then declined &c,
whereon the receipt of frost indications
for Nebrasks and Western Iowa for to-
night with hot winds reported as doing
considerable damage yesterday, shorts
for some reason had an idea that there
would be enough to go aroung and pro-
ceeded to take in sail. September
advanced in by a sudden jump
to 387ac, which was the elimination of
movement The covering was general,
and after this interest for the time beiR g
eliminated from the scene prices took a
tumble going back to price under 38c.
Other deliveries were of course affected,
but not to such radical extent Today's
operations in Septem ber are likely to be
repeated many times before the expira-
ton of the option.
Provisions-There was the usual dull
ness pervading the provision pit. Hog
receipts were $4,000 and prices lower.
No outside buying or support from the
| of pork, lard and ribs. One man who
desired to cover a short line experienced
no difficulty, while satisfactory sales
were at premium.

But They We're Not Real Angel Voices,
Only HaIIucinatiOn.
a pleasant life in Pleasant Valley was
the lot of gray haired George Stewart
until a short time ago. Then his wife
died and the old cOlored man with the
weight of Y years upon his shoulders
never quite recovered from the loss of
his lifelong helpmate
He became greatly interested in re-
ligion. He joined the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists and gave away his humble home
and the two lots he owned without a
thought of receiving anything for them.
He heard angels singing heavenly hymns
and poured out his heart as he joined
them in the chorus.
Yesterday afternoon the old man was
summoned to the probate court to IN
dergO an examination into his sanity.
He was found in North Topeka by Dep
uty Sheriff Dan Jones after a hunt last
ing five hours. The case was to have
been tried at noon, but it was 4 o'clock
before he was brought into court.
After the testimony of a number of
witnesses. who said he had done as above
related, the jury decided him insane,
and guardian will be appointed to try
and recover his property. "Dementia
with halIu cinations" was DR.. W. E. Nc
Vey's statement of the case. The old
man does not agree on that point, but he
will go to the asylum if there is room for
him

This is the season of the year in
which married women who have been
drudging for year make up their
minds that they need a rest and lay
plans to spend month in the country.
This is also the season of the year
in which married men induce friends
to write anonymous letters to the wives
who have been drudging for them for
a year, which read as follows:
E'You will take the advice of friend
who is interested in your welfare and
not go to the country this summer.
A word to the wise is sufficient. Your
husband will be only too glad to sec
you go. Watch him.
It's a mean trick, but it works.

Joe Kellam's case was continued in
definitely this morning by Judge Ferry.
The habeas corpus proceedings are set
for this afternoon. It is probable that
the appeal will be made TO the supreme
court in order to settle q question which
confronts the officers in nearly ever
liquor case: to wit, whether or not an
officer has a right to break into a place
without q warrant, when he has no d.
rect evidence that the law is being vio-
lated If the court refuses a habeas
corpus to Joe kellam, he will be tried
in the police court for the offence of
selling liquor contrary to law.

1T BRED DIPHTHERIA.
Sanitary Sergeant Fowler Finds CesspoO1
in Clay Street Yard.


Sanitary Sergeant Fowler made a dis
coyerv Yesterday which he considers
quite important. There are TWO cases of
diphtheria in the vicinity of Twelfth and
Clay streets and he started out to find the
cause to prevent a possible epidemic of
the disease in thatlocality.
He could find nothing for some time
which could have produced the trouble
when in walking through the back yard
of the house at 1865 Clay street he noticed
a board covering an opening in the
ground which when removed revealed q
gigantic cesspool which was almost full
of fermenting refuse matter.
1t was very large cistern which had
not been used to hold water for some
time but was abandoned and the people
living at the house had used it as a re-
pository for Stops. MIR. Fowler thinks
that the cesspool is responsible for the
diphtheria and he ordered it emptied at
once.

This is the greatest show
ing the STATE JOURNAL has
ever been able to make for
a period of any six months
in it's history.
This is a greater figure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for
the year 1894. The Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory,
issued in June, 1895, and
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-
ton Of the Topeka Daily
Capital for the year 1894, as
only STA. These figures
were furnished by the pub
fishers Of the Capital, to the
Directory, and are guaran-
teed to be correct by a for
felt Of 500, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.
The following figures, sub
Stimulated by sworn state
ments in detail, giving every
issue for the first six months
in 1898, 1894 and 1895, shows

A New York SaloOnkeeper Held in $50 for
Selling a Cigar on Sunday.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA new phase of
the Sunday opening question cropped
out before Magistrate Deuel. in the JEFF
ferson market police court Monday.
Andrew I. Redman was arrested for sell
ing a cigar and was held for trial in $50.
This is the first case of this kind which
has come before the magistrates. The
penal code, under sections 267 and 270,
makes it a misdemeanor to sell cigars
''or prepared tobacco" in a licensed sa-
loon Sunday.
So explicit is the law on this subject
that section go declares that in the event
of a saloonkeeper being found guilty of
selling prepared tobacco" which in
cludes cigars, his whole stock can be
confiscated and sold at auction, the pro-
ceeds going to the poor of the city.
