OLD HOEY FLIM-FLAMMED.
Long Island Circus Man Imposed on
the Comedian.

New York, July II never knew be-
FORE said old Hoss' Hoey, what an
expensive face have"
He was visiting his brother James
down at SayviIle, L. I, and when a
country circus came rolling into town
invited his brother to go and see it.
''Old HosS" handed in a $50 bill and
asked for two tickets. The clerk count
ed cut $40 in change, counted it over
again and passed the roll out of the
window. Hoey pocketed it without
even looking at it. In the tent, how
ever, happy second thought came to
him. He pulled out the roll Of bills,
counted it over and found S14 there.
We'll, after 90 years on the stage
have been fiim1ammed at a country
circus he said
How much?'' asked Brother Jim,
/ laughing 50 hard he nearly knocked
down the wooden benches.
Five dollars" said the comedian,
ruefully.
Brother Jim, despite the protest Of
William, walked to the ticket window,
thrust his five fingers into the face of
the money taker and said: "Flam" in
a loud and threatening voice.
7 thought myself had made a
mistake said the ticket seller, hand
ing back the missing money.

A TRACK CARRIED AWAY.
Not by a Washout But by "Certain
Parties Unknown

The East Side Circle people are look
ing for their track east of the Santa
Fe railroad. While the attorneys for
the company were using their infiu-
ence and time to prevent the council
from resembling the franchise and or
dering the tracks torn up, some of the
people who live on East Tenth street
became tired of waiting and one night
they took the track and carried it
away.
The council passed a resolution or
dering the company to lower its
tracks near Ninth and Monroe streets
and the improvements are being made
there, but the track on East Tenth
street is still missing.
There is a great deal Of talk about
arrests. but no one has yet been found
who knows anything about the de-
structiOn of the track and it is not
likely that the guilty parties will be
found.
The people in this city living along
that line of the road have for years
been trying to get rid of the nuisance,
but they have met with no success. It
remained for the people of East Tenth
to solve the question which several
city councils have been harrassed with
until they wished that the Vinewood
railroad had never been built.

MAKE Us LOVE ENGLAND.
Plimson Would Change Our School
Books.

New York. July 1.-Samuel Plimson
who has won immortality already by
giving to the safety load line of Brit
ish ships the name "PHmsOll mark, ."
arrived in this country on Wednesday
by the Majestic as full of a new project
as ever he W2s of improving the lot of
the British sailor He hopes to start D
movement here which will at least tend
to eradicate what he terms our in
herited and unjust dislike of and i'll
feeling toward the mother country
I have come to this country" he
said, Ito see if I cannot find the cause
of the unjust dislike the Americans
have for the mother country. That
feeling is SO unc2ued for that there
must be some cause for it, fancied
cause I think. We in England have no
such feeling toward America. We have
only sympathy and admiration for her
"A perfect understanding between
England, her colonies and America
would be one of the greatest factors
for good in the common cause of hu-
mainly Such an understanding would
bring about the lessening by half Of the
armament that overburdens Europe. I
do not expect to see it. Such reforms
do not come to pass in a day, but if 1
can start it, I shall be satisfied. If I
can prove that the chief fault lies with
the school histories what a grand OPP
portunity there will be for some man to
start the reform"

SHE LIKES THE EMPRESS.

people.
The emperor is a very handsome

great deal for Russia.

atoms behind US but much of the r. +

I'VE did not see the catastrophe at

sad ending of an inspiring spectacle -

GRAN DMOTHER BLAND.
J. R. Burton Says If the Demo
cratic Party
Follows Its Instincts Of Decay
and Dissolution,
It Will Nominate the Missouri Fossil
But It Is ImmateriaI Who the
Democrats Nominate, Says
Mr.. Burton.

A Kansas City evening paper pub
fishes the following:
J. Ralph Burton, cool and seasonable
looking in a light suit of clothes and
straw hat, his black moustache turned
up at the ends like a brigand's, and his
black eyes flashing like street lamps
on a dark night, stopped at the Union
depot between trains this morning and
talked politics in a hard, metallic voice
with a reporter for The World. Mr..
Burton is from Abilene, as everyone in
Kansas knows. He is not candidate
for the United States senate, as every
one in Kansas does not know, prefering
to let this office seek him by remaining
in conspicuous places, and frequenting
habitations to which no political light
ming rods are attached.
Mr.. Burton was in good humor this
morning. He felt first rate and showed
it in manner and speech. He was on
his way to Manhattan, where the Fifth
district congressional convention met
today for the purpose of renominating
Congressman Calderhead.
What will the Chicago convention
do?" Mr.. Burton was asked.
IF the Democratic party follows it's
instincts of decay and dissolution" was
his reply, Sit will nominate Bland"
What of him?"
He is an old grandmother
''SupDosing Bland is not selected?"
"Boies is the next poorest subject
Anything else?''
Really. the strongest man they could
nominate is Matthews"
"WeH?''
The fellow that would make the
greatest fuss is Blackburn of Ken
lucky"
Does it make any difference who the
Democrats nominate?"
mo, sir. It is wholly inmaterial.
There is no difference between the can
didates and whoever is nominated will
find his expected support fade away as
quickly as the fumes from a soda pop
bottle
Without stopping to think that the
fumes OF soda pop are noticeable chief
" by their absence, the Abilene man
swept on in a flight Of oratory which
attracted about the depot and soon
gained him a considerable audience.
THE opposition to Mckinley" he
said, lis composed of utterly dissimi-
lar and incOngruOUs elements. The eff
fort to establish a coalition or fusion
between parties that are antfpodaI
COOK that word up in the dictionary if
you don't know what it rneans) will
fall, because of the inherent integrity
of the average voter. The POpulist
party is in no sense a party, and out
sue OF Kansas II mas no Sufnclent or
ganization to deserve the name. The
POpulist party wants neither free gold
nor free silver. 1t would demonetize
both metals and give an unlimited is
sue of paper or aluminium money.
Mr.. Mckinley will be elected by a
majority so large that it will challenge
comparison with Grants. The cam
paign. in fact, will be similar in many
respects to that of 1872.
THE Republican party is not injured
by a man leaving it here and there,
as in the case of Teller at st. Louis,
and isolated cases in Kansas recently"
and with this parting shot at Ed Little,
Mr. Burton swept off down the plat
form to where group of Kansans of
his acquaintance were standing"

The Coffeyville Journal thus defines
Sound money: Some money, or cur
rency is that made of. or redeemable in
that made of, material which is equal
in value with the coined dollar. The
metal in a gold dollar is of equal pur-
chasing power with the coined gold
dollar" Since the value of the material
in a gold dollar is given to it by the
fact that it can be taken to the mint
and coined into dollar free of charge,
it follows, and this cannot be disputed,
that if the material in a silver dollar
could be taken to the mint and coined
into a dollar free of charge, it too.
would be equal in value with the
coined dollar" The silver dollar would
thus become a sound" dollar. It is
clear therefore that all that is neces-
sary to make silver money as sound"
as gold money, even from the stand
point of the gold men is to open the
minis to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.

SULPHUR MINES.
Those in Louisiana Operated by the
Standard Oil Company.

New Orleans.J July yesterday even
ing a party of people passed through
the city bound for the new sulphur
mines on the Southern Pacific road in
Calcasieu parish.
There was a large consignment of
freight, machinery, wheels, engines,
etc, through here not q long while ago,
which was also destined for the sulphur
mines, and most of these gentlemen are
men who have charge of the work
there.
These immense sulphur mines are
now the property of the Standard Oil
company, and it has been under its df-
rectiOn that the present success has
been achieved in mining the precious
mineral.
1t is stated that there will be a large
industry built up around the new mines
and that a large force of people will be
given employment in the preparation
of the mineral for marketable purposes
after the operation of the plant has
been brought to perfection, which will
not now be many days.

HE VOTED FOR LINCOLN.
G. w. odell Who Fought Through the
War Can't Vote for Gold Standard.

War Can't Vote for Gold Standard.
To Editor Topeka State Journal.
Please say to the many readers of
the Journal that I was born of a true
and loyal Republican mother and
reared by a true and loyal Republican
father, who, with myself and two
Younger brothers enlisted and helped
to put down the rebellion, brought on
by the same spirit that placed the gold
plank in the now so-called Republican
platform; fny vote helped to place our
time honored and peoples friend, Abe
Lincoln, in the presidential chair.
am now GA years old, and too old
to swallow the gold standard plank, al
though highly polished and creased for
the occasion. It is no good loyal Re
publican doctrine; it is not even good
Democratic doctrine, in principle, and
cannot be tolerated by a true patriotic
people. I, with thousands of what
should be called true loyal Republicans
of this and other states, will never vote
a ticket, so plainly dictated by foreign
capitalists and British rule, but expect
to help to place Senator Teller, of Colo
RADIO, our second Lincoln, in the presi-
Dental chair, as we did old Abe.
am here to say that his actions,
with others in convention hall at St.
Louis, means to loyal men who have
the best interests of the working mass
es of the people much more than sim
ply talking through their hats and
walking out of the convention hall.
We do hope that the leaders of all
parties who have the best interests of
all working people and Of our country
at heart, will unite just now and elect
Of not Teller some good loyal man who
is loyal to the best interests of the
whole people, as president of the Uni
ted States. G. W. ODELL.

CAMPBELL'S FRENZY.
Said to Have Originated While BE
Lived in Topaka-

Topeka people who are friends of
Gen. A 3. Campbell understand why
in his rawlings he continually refers to
the power and his influence over
people. The deIusion had it's origin
in Topeka many years ago.
Flint, the hypnotist, was in Topeka
giving entertainments, when Gen.
Campbell became interested in the
subject of hypnotism. He attended
the meetings and would go on the
stage every evening. Prof. Flint new
er succeeded in placing Gen. Campbell
under the influence of his power, but
he became interested and began to
practice the art himself. He found
that he could hypnotic almost as we'll
as Prof. Flint and for months he
talked of little else to his friends This
is probably the beginning of the de-
fusion under which Gen. Campbell is
now suffering.

It is said that the free silver people
want to pay their debts with so cent
dollars. This is not true but if it were
it would not be the first time that many
of them and many of the gold bugs also
have settled their Indebtedness for 50
cents on the dollar or less. Many cred
itors who are loudly clamOring for pay
nent in a 200 cent dollar are getting
nothing except property greatly depre-
ciated in the market. The longer they
succeed in maintaining the present
gold standard" the more of such exper-
fences they will have. If they bring
on another panic it may prove a boom
erang.

THIRD RAIL CURRENT.
An Eastern Railway Abandoning the
Trolley System.

Boston, July 1.-The second step
towards the equipment of it's main line
with electricity has been made by the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company. The electric ser
vice on the Nantasket branch was e7-
tended three and a half miles, along
the south shore division, to East Wey-
mouth. The overhead trolley was
abandoned and the third rail method
of contact was adopted.
The change from the overhead trolley
to the rail was made without jar and
the motar car was soon spinning along
at the rate of 30 miles an hour.
The third rail is of fiattened letter
A shape, 90 pounds to the yard, and is
laid between the two regular rails on
insulated ash blocks. The current
comes from a power house at Nantas-
ket and reaches the motor through two
sliding shoes hung loosely from the car.
The return circuit is through the wheels
and regular rails.

New York, July 1.-Once a year they
have an auction of sheep and deer not
wanted in Central park. The sale came
off yesterday. Ten deer, a score of live
lambs and a dozen dams were sold

When the auctioneer offered the ami
mails for sale about 80 men were pres
ent.
The sheep went for S96 50.
Two OF the rams. said TO he Of rara
English breed, were sold to a man who
acted for ex-Mayor Vim. r. Grace. at
$40 each, The entire lot brought $50. rs.
The first choice of the deer a hie

Neither Wall street nor the manufac-
turing interests seem to respond with
any marked degree of alacrity to the
boost given to confidence at St. Louis.
In fact a large number of the big mills
have suddenly been discovered to be
out of repair and it has been found
necessary to close some of them for the
summer, so as to give them an over
hauling. The truth is that the east has
lost confidence in its own medicine.

THR RTaHT 40 &c.

The Wichita Eagle does nothing but
roar and howl about the Republican
platform. Colonel Murdoch knew that
kind of a platform would be made
when he made his fight to be
delegate. If he didn't like
il, why did he bind himself to it? This
is a free country, but we submit that
Murdoch has no right to kick on that
platform. If he was going to bolt, he
ought TO have kept out of the conYen-
tion.-Lawrence Journal.
We humbly beg your pardon for pre-
Stunning to declare that we knew moth
ing of the kind, and humbly apologize
for daring to assume the privilege OF
saying that we made no fight to be a
delegate. We have never intimated
that we didn't like the platform, as a
whole, nor did we bind ourself to it,
We voted no" everytime, under chal-
lenge when the gold plank was reach
ed. The very fact of the country oe-
ing free gives us the right to kick Its
inalienable It wouldn't be a free coun-
try if we were denied that delightful
privilege SO dear to the heart of every
Independent American. But withai our
kicking you will please observe, dear
Journal, that We never let go our hold
on the horns of the Republican altar
Kicks don't count after you have got
out of reach of the herd We are in
side of the enclosure and the Journal
will please excuse for not accepting
its kind invitation to jump the fence or
bolt through the money-gate, which
happens to be out of repair. The her
bage of the Democratic pasture runs
too much to sage brush and cactus for
our Republican digestive organs As
for the PopuIist commons, the amount of
cultivation and fertaliZer necessary to
convert them from barren to arabic
fields renders the speculation too dis
couraging.
Seriously, Mr.. Journal, these are not
the times in which it is either safe, wise
or polite for the kettle to call the pot
black. The whole culinary establish
ment is pretty sadly smutted. The
Eagle has written and printed a greater
number of columns, three times over,
in advocacy of McKinley's nomination
than any newspaper in Kansas. And
so it has printed three times as much
as any other Kansas paper in advO-
cacy of the rehabilitation of silver We
believe that the majority of the people
Of Kansas were with US in both de-
mands. We now bewail the fact that
the St. Louis convention, in denying
the demand for constitutional money,
did in just so far jeOpardize the chances
of the man whom the Republicans of
Kansas wanted for president. For the
sake of Mckinley and protection the
Republicans of Kansas would to a man
have overlooked the sop thrown to the
female suffra gists and the slOp dished
I'D to the Prohibitionists, in that plat
form, planks which we swallowed
without so much as a vince, but when
it came to that gold plank, empty cars
and fourteen-cent corn. broken down
fences and two and a half hogs. thir-
ty-cent wheat and hungry-eyed unern-
ployed labor stared us in the face and
we voted mo. Wichita Eagle.

been earnest advocates of silver have
thrown over the cause of the white met
al and rallied to the support of the St
Louis platform. The Chronicle is owned

D, Spreckels. Both of these gentlemen
were delegates to the national conven-
ton and both hope for place in Nc

If the Republicans nominate Weak
Kneed Morrill, and the Populists Blum
derer Lewelling, there is room in this
state for a free silver state ticket. The
whole people Of Kansas ought to bolt
the politicians. The Republicans do
not want Morrill, and the Populists do
not want Lewelling; but the schemers
in both parties are taking advantage of
the disgust and apathy of the people
