land City, on the c. & o. Railway
While the grounds We're not as
pleasing as that on which the for
mer reunions of this sort have been
held they were close to the railroad
and visitors coming by rail had
but few steps to walk TO reach
the grove. thus saving extra hack
fare formerly paid to ride to the
grounds.
The first day was cool and pleas
ant, but the attendance was small,
quiet and orderly.
Hon. Samuel J. Pugh was pres
ent and made a two-hours' speech
on the questions of the day, and,
Judging from the close attention
given him, and the frequent ap-
plause he received, his hearers
were largely in sympathy with him.
There being no other speakers on
the ground, the old soldiers, at the
command of Commander Elias
McQuithey, formed line and
marched around the grounds, head
ed by the White Sulphur Band.
They spent the remainder of the
day recounting their experiences
in Dixie Land.
On the second day the crowd was
immense, but orderly and seemed
TO get a full measure of enjoyment
up to l O'Clock, when a shower of
rain and the threatening aspect of
the weather caused many to leave
the grounds.
Only fair sized crowd attended
Saturday. Col. A. L. Wood, of
Mt. Sterling, was there and made a
speech which was well received. At
4 o'clock Commander McQuith-
ey, with few appropriate remarks,
closed the exercises, and the peo-
pie, amid hearty good wishes, left
for their homes.
Much of the enjoyment of the
occasion was due to the good play
ing of the White Sulphur Band.
The boys are playing for the Hazel
Green Fair this week, and have
several engagements ahead.

DEPEW HASN'T FUSED
With Mr.. Vanderbilt as New York
Rumor Had It

New York, Sept. 1O-The World this
morning says: Chauncey M. Depew
was asked as to the truth of a report
that there was friction between him
and w. K. Vanderbilt, and that in the
event of Mr.. McKinley's election he
would resign the presidency of the New
York Central, to accept a cabinet or
diplomatic position. Mr.. Depew said:
1.-The story is untrue from beginning to
end. At periods of six months, for the
last five years, similar reports have
been set in circulation. My friends
have discovered on every occasion that
they emanated from Wall street or Chi
cago or were started generally for the
purpose of affecting the market Mr..
Cornelius Vanderbilt is rapidly regain
ing his health, and I am going to see
him tomorrow. During his brothers
illness, VIM K. Vanderbilt has assumed
the position he occupied in reference to
certain prperties before he became i'll.
My relations with them are most cor
dial. I have no political ambition.
These reports used annoy me but pay
no attention to them now

Hard Times Are Periodical

1t is a fact worthy of notice that the
continued prosperity of a country de-
wolves, to a very great extent, upon the
business confidence of the moneyed
classes. When that confidence becomes
shaken, there is panic, and hard times
follow-a period of doubt and suspicion.
In the history of every enterprising ma
ton, hard times are periodical in their
appearance. Why so? The people in
prosperous times have plenty of work
and secure good wages, and, thinking
that it will always be thus, are little
solicftous about saving anything for
rainy day" Everybody is confident,
and business enterprises flourish. Then
some corporation becomes doubtful of
its security and every enterprise drops
with a crash. The laboring man is out
of employment and has no savings to
fall back upon. They will not learn,
though, only through experience. Hard
times makes them think and save. To-
peka people who are beginning to think
should study the plans of the Savings
and Loan association, and consult the
officers, corner Sixth and Kansas ave-
nue.. Here is a chance to save, invest
and borrow money, on the easiest terms
and best security.

SsVISITORS'' START OUT.
Forty People Trudge Through the
Rain Hunting Sunday School
Delinquents.

The Sabbath School association of
Topeka has started to find out how
many people there are in Topeka that
should go to church and Sabbath
school, how many do go, where they
go, and if they don't go why they don't
go.
In response to a call issued by z. F.
Riley about 40 of the visitors" Is of
whom were men, met at the First Con-
gregational church this morning at 8
o'clock to receive their instructions
from J. H. FOUGHT who is president of
the county association. The city is di-
vided into 131 districts, 20 of which are
on the North Side.
Blanks were furnished all the visitors
on which to write the name, residence
and occupation of the head of the fam
lily, number in the family and the num-
bers in and out of church and Sabbath
school.
You are to visit every family in your
district and be sure you get the in
formation you go after, said Mr. FOUGHT
If the family is not at home go back
until you find them at home and if they
refuse to give you what you want get
it from their neighbOrs. We want this
canvass completed by Monday evening
at farthest and the blanks should be
handed to the superintendent"
The rain of this morning had a rath-
er dampening effect but the visitors
were able to get out this forenoon some
after all.

ed city warrants for the arrest of John
Paine and c. P. Paine, members of the

baud store shall keep a book in which

The arrests were made because the
Paine brothers refused to give up
silver watch which the gang of small
cOlored thieves arrested yesterday had
sold there, and which had been. stolen
from T. E Watson, and because they
had no register to show.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Ancient Fight Between Anchor
Union and Armour,
To Be ReOpened-LabOr Day

OTHERUNIONS TO JOIN

Compelling Members to Report
and Miss Parade.
OTHER UNIONS TO JOIN

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. 1o.-The an
cient trouble between the Armour
Packing company and the Anchor Fed
eral Labor union will be renewed now
with vigor, and it is quite likely that
several other subordinate unions will
join in the new demonstration.
The trouble that leads to fresh hos
tilities grew out of the Labor Day pa
rade and affected Anchor union more
than any other. The union has a large
number of members employed by the
company. They, so it is claimed, had
been given to understand. would not
be needed at the Armour plant on La
Dor Day and consequently made ar
engagements to participate in the parade
and celebration at the park In this
they were prevented by an order is
sued by the managers and given out
by the foreman Saturday evening that
all employees who failed to report for
work Monday morning need not re-
port at any time thereafter. In view of
the fact that they are dependent upon
their wages for supporting their fam
lilies, they concluded to give up partic-
1pattng in the parade. Consequently
several unions had to abandon repre-
sentatiOn, and others had very small
number in the parade.
1t is asserted that a majority of the
men AFFECTED by his mandate of Ar
nours, secure work there only about
half the time, but are compelled to
Monday, in Obeyance to the order given
by the foreman, they went to work
but were laid off at noon
The Anchor union is inclined to think
the order was spite work on the part of
the Armours, and was for the sole pur-
pose of Gripping the parade or else
they hoped the men would disObey the
order and thus give the company an
opportunity to get rid of the members

came under the ban of the mandate

The full state committee met and dis

the POpulists. The POpulists agreed to
support Bryan if they were given four
of the 80 names on the electoral tick
ct This was vigorously opposed by
the members of the committee from
Philadelphia and other eastern coun-
ties on the ground that it would be un-
wise to nominate anything but straight
out Democratic ticket. The majority
of the committee favored fusion, but
there was no formal action up to y

TEXT BOOKS IN FORD.
Dodge City School Patrons Rather
Favor Cranes Books.

Dodge City, Sept. 10.-The county
text book convention held at the court
house Saturday afternoon decided to
adjourn for one year without taking
any action. J. B. Blazer of Wichita.
representing the American book trust,
consumed about two hours in showing
up what an awful conglOmeratiOn of
error and ignorance the readers offered
by Crane & Co. were, but did not offer
any inducements for the board to adopt
the books published by his firm except
that they were now in use, while the
proposition of Crane & Co. offered a
free exchange of new books for old and
a saving of about One-third on all books
purchased.
Mr.. iced, for Crane & Co, made no
attack on the other books. but simply
asked that the board defer the adoption
until a careful comparison of the two
propositions and books could be made
by the delegates. The board was so
impressed with the justice of this prop
osition that an adjournment for one
year was taken.
