LAND COMPANY FAILURE.
One of the Heaviest Concern I'm
Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 4.-United
States District Judge Foster this morn
ing appointed a receiver for the ]. B.
Watkins Land and Mortgage company,
of Lawrence, Kan, the largest con-
Germ of the kind in the state. The LA
bilities amount to $4,250, 900 in debent-
ure bonds held in the East. The APP
plication for receivers was made by
the Girard Life Insurance, Annuity
and Trust company, of Philadelphia,
which holds $4S,O0O of the debentures
bonds for the estate of Wistar Morris.
The receivers are NJ Summerfield and
j. b. Watkins, of Lawrence, and John
F. Switzer, of Topeka.
The interest on the bonds has been
IN default since 1895, and it was this
fact that led to the demand for a re-
ceiver. The company has had check
cred existence. About eight years ago
it failed, and was placed in the hands
of receivers. 1t struggled along un-
der their control, issuing debenture
bonds, which were sold to Eastern peo-
pie, and three years ago was taken
out of the receivers hands and recon-
menced business under the old name.
j. B. Watkins, president of the COM
pany, is considered one of the wealth.
est men in Kansas, and is one of the
principal owners of the Kansas, Texas
& Gulf railroad. 1t is said the COM
pany is likely to be reorganized now
and the business cleared up in a year

ANNEXATION SENTIMENT.
1t Is Growing Rapidly in the Ha-
waiian Islands.

SEATTLE, Wash. Sept. All G.
Whitney, ex-postmaster general Of the
Hawaiian islands who has just arrived
from Honolulu, reports a strong revi-
val Of the annexation feeling in the
islands, and says it is greatly inten-
sified through the belief that, should
Hawaii be annexed to the United
States, the threatened japanese trou-
bic would be entirely wiped out, by the
abrogation of all existing treaties. BY
what is known as the Gibson treaty,
entered into with Japan about thir-
teen years ago, japanese may pour
into the islands in unlimited numbers.
They now number $4,000, and are COM
ing, Whitney says, at the alarming
rate of 5000 a year. He thinks it is
only question of few years until
the Japanese will outnumber the ma
tives and naturalized population, and
in that case, would cause serious trou-
BILE. They are already demanding the
right Of franchise, which by treaty is
conferred upon them as soon as they
can read and write the English Ian
guage.

The award of prizes won by the several
divisions of the Uniform Rank, Knights of
Pyth.as, was announced at meeting which
was to have been held at the Exposition
building last night, but was transferred to
the Masonic temple. The winner of the first
prize $3.50, was John Barr Glenn Division

Con Feige. The second prize, $500, was
awarded by the judges to Lilly Division No.
TO- OF Radcliffe, To-, commanded by Capt.
7. S. S. Waud. The third prize, $780, was
given to Hart Division No. 90 Of Clinton,
To-, commanded by Capt Paul Lubbers
These were the only prizes given to divis-
ions entering the contest; they were all that
actually participated in the contest so that
each was at least partially rewarded for it's
efforts.
The real contest, as every one interested
in Uniform Rank drill in the Northwest
knows, was between the Eau Claire division
and the Radcliffe division. They were well
matched, well differed and both so nearly
perfect that the unintiated could not tell
which was best. Even the judges seemed to
think the same, for they awarded the first
prize to the Eau Claire division unon a gen
eral average of excellence of 81 8 per cent
while the Radcliffe division was marked IS 8
per cent, only IA per cent difference The
marking OF the Hart division was low in
comparison with these two So 3 per cent; but
the fact is explained that the division did not
expect to enter the contest or begin drill I'M

tneSe circumstances their work is regarded
as excellent. personal prize was also won
by Capt. Con Feige, of Eau Claire as The

SPEAKS AT MILWAUKEE, TODAY
Preparing His Letter Acsepting the
Nomination rendered to Him
by the silver Party.

CHICAGO, Sept 4.--fH am perfectly
satisfied with my trip East" said Mr..
Bryan, land my observa ton is not
based simply on Impressions formed
from the rostrum. To address people
by the tens of thousands, as l have
done since leaving Chicago, would nat
urally carry with it the impression
that the audiences addressed were
swayed by the utterances delivered. A
speaker is apt be carried away by
such an idea. But when. say that L
am satisfied with the result of my
trip East. do not mean that my OBJ
seryations from the. SPEAKERS stand
have led me to suppose.that the large
audiences whom l have addressed were
carried away with the principles ad-
vocated. as their applause would ap-
pear to indicate. Mygestimate is basel
on entirely different sources.
people whom l have met and who
have mingled with audiences at Demo-
cratic gatherings, have voluntarily
come forward to assure me that the
sentiment was veering around toward
the Democratic platform. have taken
occasion after leaving the speakers
stand to talk with men whom I have
observed in the audience as on the
doubtful seat, if 1 may so express my
self. regarding the currency question.
Such men have come to me afterward
and have expressed themselves as more
than half convinced that the tenets of
the Chicago platform were, after all,
the trueSt in the popular interest.
Others have come to me, men who even.
disagree with our party principles, and
have assured me that the change in
sentiment toward the free coinage of
silver was something they had never
seen the like of. Added to this. the
appreciation which every public speak
er cannot fail to discernrin the eyes of
sympathetic audience, has convinced
me that large proportions of the peo-
pie whom l have addressed have been
tmpelled to applaud. not out Of sym
pathy with the speaker, but out of APP
probation Of the truths spoken. If a
speaker be qualified to. judge Of the eff
feet of his speeches on audiences. then
1 think that without egotism 1 may
say the people whom I have met and
addressed are far more enthusiastic
in favor Of free silver than they were
when the campaign began"

will be formally notified at Lincoln on

London Truth.
1t would seem that the planet Mars is now
in condition to which the earth must come.
1t is struggling against the gradual disap-
pearance of water on it's surface and in its
atmosphere. There is no weather there, for
there is no rain and there are no winds
Dew in winter is deposited on its poles in the
form of snow. The rest Of the planet con-
sists of deserts with very slight elevations.
The inhabitants have met this stage of things
by a gigantic system of irrigation. What
we call canals are irrigated districts about
thirty miles wide, with q canal running
through them, from which water is distributed
Here and there are large GASES or irrisa-
ton, and these GASES are connected with
each other by means of the canals. When the
SHOWS Of the poles melt the melted water is
distributed over the planet, and thus crops
are produced. The inhabitants store up food
and water for that part of the year when
there is neiher water nor vegetation. So
rarif1ed is the atmosphere that one of these
Inhabitants can work at one-twentieth the ex-

A Struggle in Which Was Displayed
Great Intelligence and VaIor.

Great Intelligence and VaIor.
1t has been my good fortune to have wit
messed several pitched battles between large
bodies of ants. In a battle between black
ants and some yellow antagonists of another
species l saw many evidences of intelligent
communication. The yellow ants had a COM
missariat and an ambulance corps, and l fire.
quently saw them drop to the rear during the
battle and partake of refreshments or have
their wounds attended to. The blacks, which
composed the attacking army, were in light
marching order, and had neither of these
conveniences and necessary adjuncts. The
yellow ants frequently sent back to their
village for re-enforcements; those of them
that had been out on hunting expeditions
when the battle Joined were notified
soon they arrived at the nest and
Immediately hurried out to join in the fray.
The blacks had discovered a herd of aphides
belonging to the yellows, and had sought to
surprise the guards and steal the herd hence
the battle. l am glad to report that the
black horde was defeated by the brave yell
low warriors and had to decamp, leaving
many of its number dead upon the field
of battle.
