that he had no further procedure
to take.
Austin, Tex, Sept 10-The as
sertion Of Governor Culbertson on
the prize fight opionion OF Judge
Hurt. "That the full bench deter
mine the matter and thus deter
mine the law; and whatever it is
it will be enforced" is construed
by some here as showing a weak
ening on his part, but this is not
true. It is believed the law against
disturbing the peace and unlawful
assemblies, relied upon by Gov.
Ross, III sufficient and Governor
Culberson is to rely on them. It
is believed he will have Corbett
and Fitzsimmons arrested before
the fight and put under bonds to
keep the peace and If they persilf
and enter the ring they will be ar
rested and jailed before they strike
a blow. Everything here plainly
indicates the power of the state is
to be used to prevent the fight
under tho common penal statutes,
no matter what decisions may be
rendered on the prize fighting
law. Outside of sporting circles,
it is not believed Dan Stuart will
persist in having the fight at Dali
las in spite Of the governor.

HUNDREDS of bushels of fruit
have gone to Waste this season for
want of attention. The crop is
becoming SO abundant and is SO
remote from the railroads that it
is impossible to market it at a sea-
sonable time. This condition will
gradually become worse from year
to year until the press and eyap-
orator are resorted to. 1t is i'm
possible to consume, locally, the
fruit produced in Grant County,
and our fruit growers must not
longer rely upon home consump-
ton but must provide some other
mean of saving the crop.

Chattanooga, Sept IT, Cover
nor Altgeld, Of Illinois, created q
sensation at the monument dedi-
cation, the conclusion Of his
speech being as follows:
Instead Of an armed force that
we can meet on the field there is
to-day an enemy invisible but
everywhere at work destroying
our institutions. That enemy is
corruption. 1t seeks to direct Off
cial action; il dictates legislation
and endeavors to control the con-
struction of the laws. It seeks to
control the press, to set the fash
ions and shape public sentiments.
1t has emasculated American pol
itics and places It on the low plane
of iugglery. The tendency is
now for political parties to shake
principle and follow expediency,
and their platforms are often
drawn to evade or straddle every
live issue. The idea is now to ca
jole rather than convince; to ig-
more great wrongs and wink at
abuses; to court the support of
conflicting interests though it in
wolves the deception of one or
both. We are substituting Office
seeking and Office holding in place
Of the real achievement and in
stead of great careers in public
life. We are facing a harvest of
slippery, blear eyed and empty
mediocrity, which glides into OBJ
livion without the assistance of
death.
"Thirty-four years ago the call
was for men to fight an open
enemy in the field, today our
country is calling for men who
will be true TO republican institu-
tions at home. Never before did
this country call so loudly as it
does today for a strong, sturdy
manhood that will stand up def
antly and dare to do right.
A new gospel has come among us,
according to which it Is mean to
rob a hen roost or hen, but plum
dering thousands make us gentle
men,"

CHINA BREEDS PESTS.

Filthy Habits of the People Cause Thou
sands to Die of Cholera.
SAN Francisco, Sept 2L-William E
Curtis, who is the Washington cores
pondent of the Chicago Record, was q
passenger on the steamer Goelic, which
arrived from the Orient yesterday. He
went to Japan in May last to study the
commercial and industrial prospecs af-
forded Americans in that country, and
lately he has been in China, which he
describes as the pest breeding center of
the universe.
The cholera has attained fearful pro-
portions in China" said Mr. Curtis.
''Chinese are bying by the thousands.
passed through the streets of Peklng,
Shanghai and Tien- Tain and saw cholera
victims dead and dying at every hand. lt
is no uncommon sight to see the dead
bodies of cholera victims lying on the
street in one block, and in the next
lot of Chinese gorging themselves
with raw cucumbers and melons.
The cholera is all Attributable to
the filthy habits of the Chinese and the
weather The summer was quite cool
until August Then a spell of excessive
ly hot weather came on, aud with il the
cholera.
s'In Peking they have a plan of issu-
ing permits for the removal of bodies
outside the city walls. As is probably
we'll known, no bodies are inferred with
in the walls. To secure permission for
the removal of the remains of deceased
mortal outside the walls of the city, a
cash is dropped in a box. A cash is a
small brass coin worth one-twentieth of
one cent.
At night the cash receptacal is full 1t
contains from 1000 to 1900 pieces of coin
and when it is Considered that nearly all
| of these deaths result from cholera the
enormous extent of the disease can
readily be judged. The disease is as bad
| at Shanghai and Tien Tsin and is also
moving down Chinese by the hundred
in other ports of the infected country"
Mr.. Curtis said that the cholera is con-
fined almost exclusively 10 the native
Chinese.
Speaking of the subject which Mr..
Curtis went to Japan to investigate, the
commercial and indus rial future of
| ia pan, he said he has returned to Amer
ica convinced that America has no mar
ket in the Mikado's realm for the manu-
1actured goods.
"The Japanese make almost every
thing they want" he said ''They are
| stealing our patents and copying our in
ventions. and are now almost ready to
! export their wares and thereby entering
! into running com petition with other ma
| tlons. There is however a splendid
market for machinery as we'll as for cot
! ton, iron, and other raw materials, cotton
particularly"

DIPHTHERIA CASES.

No Dscrease in the Number-Now the
City Water Held to Blame
There is no decrease in the number
were two or three fumigated this morn
ing, but enough new cases have devel-
oped TO overbalance those that have
been let out.
The situation is really becoming worse
and if the hot weather continues there
may yet be serious epidemic.
Some of the citizens think that
the real trouble is in the city
water and that if all the water
pipes are flushed it would remove
IA verv prolific source of the disease. D.
P. Elliott says that it is high time that the
wa er pipes should be flushed. He says
that an hour should be appointed on Mon
day when every hydrant in the city and
every water cuck in all the residences
and lawns should be opened and allow
ed to run for an hour. He says that such
action is badly needed and that there
will be less disease of all kinds in the
city if this is done.
The street cleaning department of
the street force is busy, and
Street Commissioner James Ramsey
says that all the paved streets
in North Topeka have been thorough
ly cleaned Yesterday the alley
between Kansas avenue aud Quincy and
Sixth and Seventh streets W as cleaned,
aud the force is now working in the
western part of the city. Tonight Kan
sas avenue will be cleaned.

DOUBLE GOLDEN EAGLES.
Millions of Them to be Made at o

Millions of Them to b. Made at once.
WASHINGTON, Sept g21.--Acting un-
der insIrues.ons fryn TIE Treasury De-
partment, q the upertinrendent of the
United States mint at Phiiadelphia has
made arrangements for an extensive coin
age of double eagles or twenty-doIlar
pieces The gold bars now stored at
that mint will be used for this purpose
There is stock of $50, 5,00O.U00 in bullion
at the New York eublreasury, and it is
poss BILE that it, too, may be coined.
The real purpose of the gold coinage
is to put the department in better
position for the redemption of green
backs and treasury notes. The recent
Withdrawals were all in gold coin and
have materially decreased the supply of
such COINS available for the redemption
of gold certificates, United States notes
and treasury notes.
The coming press which will stamp
the double eagles has a capacity of 1S,
000 pieces day, amounting to $360.0U0.
Thus there can be turned out over ten
million dollars a month. The principal
reason given for the large coinage of
double eagles is that it counts SO much
faster than the five or ten dollar gold
pieces.
There is about $4O.O0O,0O0 worth of
gold in the mint ready for coinage.

He was fined So.

Chief WLlkerson, urged ny the curiosity

him where he got his liquor. Reed said
that he had purchased the whiskey at
George Dupree's, who keeps a restaurant
at 1OU3 Kansas avenue.
Now just look at thatr' said the chief
in disgust. "Here that man Dupree is
selling liquor right along and we can't
convict him. You remember that it
hasn't been a week since Dupree was
discharged because we didn't get any
evidence. The persons vine have bought
stuff there time and again Will get up
and swear when they come iuto court
that they never saw Dupree. Why, I
have seen fellows drink there myself,
and yet we can't convict him"
