state leagues are all right and play
pretty good ball, but when you get into
the National league you are Ia fast

fighting. I once thought. that Topeka
had some fast boxers, but after I came
east and went in two months training
with professional men, changed my
mind.
I went with Billy Paterson at Jack
son, Mich, and I was winner in ten
rounds, I saw then I was up against it
with several Others saw I was coming
out all right After my go with Spider

TO WRITE UP MEXICO.
D. o. McCray Will Do Work for siz
Gold Standard Papers.

D. o. McCray. the well known To-
peka newspaper correspondent, will
leave in a day or two for Mexico. He
will be accompanied by his wife and
they will spend about three weeks in
that republic.
Mr. McCray goes to Mexico as the
representative of the following gold bug
papers to investigate the silver ques-
ton: Chicago Times Herald, New
York Sun, Boston Transcript. Cleve-
land World, Pittsburg Dispatch and
Washington Post. 1t is safe to say that
what he writes will not be for the pur-
pose of helping the free silver cause.
He will take a camera with him for
the purpose of making photographs of
the working people.
Mr.. McCray is also the representa-
tive of the national republican commit
tee to a certain extent. He is to fur
nish the committee with a duplicate
copy of the matter sent to the papers
an if satisfactory the committee will
use it as campaign matter.

MISS CHARLES ESCAPED.
Went to Cuba to Study Conditions
and Had to Get Out.

New York. Aug. 5-Miss Cecilia
Charles arrived today on the steamer
Washington from Havana, from whence
she escaped with some difficulty as the
authorities desired to detain her. Miss
Charles is somewhat known to fame as
a writer on Spanish American topics
and an ardent sympath with the
Cuban inSurrectiOniStS. She went to
Havana about two months ago with the
object of studying the situation in the
eastern part of the island.
She carried with her letters of intro
duction to some of the best families in
Cuba and accordingly had a most cor
dial reception and was treated with
great courtesy. After spending two
weeks in Havana she took a trip to the
country to see the famous trocha, erect
surgents, where she met General Zayas,
with whom she had a very interesting
interview On her return to the city
(HaXana), Miss Charles spent a day in
the Cabanas prison. There she visited
the Competitor prisoners and encoun-
tered various interesting experiences
AS q result of her activity the authOri-
ties became suspicious and an order
was issued for her detention as an en-
issaTy of the revolutionary party in the
United States.
Miss Charles succeeded in eyading the
order of arrest by escaping from the
rear of a house in the suburbs of Ha-
vana, walking many miles in the blaz-
ing sun without food or drink for TWEEN

COULDN'T BUY WATER.
A Terrible Drouth Exists in Many
Portions of Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 5.-A water
famine exists in a large portion of Ar
kansas and in some sections human be-
ings are actually suffering from the
pangs of thirst. There have been isO-
lated showers in various portions of the
state recently, but in some counties no
rain has fallen since April 10, and the
suffering is almost beyond belief.
A gentleman arrived here this morn
ing from an overland trip through por-
lions of Jefferson, Cleveland and Brad
ley counties and says the people in
some localities are hauling water for
drinking purposes in barrels a distance
of rs miles, and that for an entire day
he was unable to buy a glass of water
to quench his thirst.
White river is running dry and the
Mayor of Fayetteville has issued proc
Iamation prohibiting the sprinkling of
streets, the water being needed for
drinking purposes.

BRYAN'S SPEECH CHANGED.
Crown of Thorns Sentence to be
Quoted.

Washington, Aug. By instruction
of Mr.. Bryan Senator Faulkner who is
in charge of the Democratic congress
sionaI headquarters, has stopped the
issuance of Mr.. Bryan's Chicago speech.
In explanation Senator Faulkner said:
THE comment made on that speech
has been unjust, and has doubtless
been caused by misunderstanding
There was such an enormous demand
for the speech that I had printed so, 900
copies as it appeared in the newspa-
pers. The report was a bad one and
Mr.. Bryan has revised it; but his
changes are immateriaI, consisting of
the adding of a word here and the
substitution of another word there. The
stenographers had no means of know
ing where he desired the use of quota
ton marks, and in the revised edition
it will be found that Mr.. Bryan places
quotation marks about the whole of the
sentence referring to the crown of
thorns and the cross of gold
