Boston, Dec 29.-The accounts Of
Frank c. Miles. the missing and default

PROUD OF ANCESTRY.
tionary Sires Net in Topeka
Yesterday,

Miss Ada PfxIey of Wamego, who
graduated from Washburn college this
year, wrote paper in a prize contest
which took first prize. Tt was upon the
subject: Principles fought for in the
Revolutionary War" One student in
each of the colleges of the state COM
peted, and the national society of the
Sons of the American Revolution,
awarded Miss Pixley the prize for
Kansas. At the regular quarterly
meeting of the Kansas society of the
Sons of the American Revolution held
yesterday afternoon, this paper of Miss
PiXley's was read, and the society VO-
ted the author thanks for her effort
1t is thorough statement OF the con-
ditiOns which led to the war, and is
told in an entertaining way. The so
ciety will have it published to keep as
a record.
Five men made application for mem
bership in the society, and the board
passed them They are Benjamin F.
Flenniken, Topeka; WI. March, Law
renee; George F. Lewis, Wichita; Will
liam H. Russell, Lacrosse, and Viii
liam Austes Reed, Wichita.
With these new members the state
society membership is SO. Two of the
members have died this year, T. E.
Bowman, this city, and W. T. Scott,
HOltOn.
President George D. Hale announced
that the national society requested all
members to wear the official badge of
the society. The badge is a small but
ton with blue and white satin woven
q
| center. This is the national and state
badge of the society.
The Kansas society proposes the
publishing in the near future an S. A.
r. year book for Kansas, which will
contain interesting information to all
members of the order.
A clause was inserted in the cOnsti-
tuition to admit members from other
states upon application, and with the
consent of the national society. A
| lineal descendant of the revolutionary
| war from Oklahoma made application
| to the society, and by this ruling he
will be allowed to join with the kan
saS society.
"WhO of you have ever talked with
! a Revolutionary soIdier?" asked Mr..
| Hale.
I have often talked with my grand
[ father" said Mr.. William Smith
| We'll, have had an experience
| which L suppose most of you have not
| experienced" said DR.. J. L. Furber.

NOT FIGHTING JERRY.
The Opposition of Judge Mckay to
Simpson Has Ceased.

The opposition to Jerry Simpson
seem to be coming down off of the
fence and getting into his band wagon.
The following from the Wichita, Eagle
shows that Judge Mckay, who was
fighting Jerry a few weeks ago, has
about conceded his nomination.
Judge Mckay of Harper county was
in the city yesterday.
He was in company with two gentle
men from Pratt county, both of whom
We're Populists.
Yes" said Judge Mckay, I'VE are all
for Bryan in our county, and we think
he will win easily. think the Chicago
convention could not have done a wiser
thing than they did,
How about Jerry Simpson,
''Well, a few of US thought we want
ed somebody else, but it looks now like
Mr.. Simpson is going to be the nomi-
nee. We can't tell. of course, but it
looks a little that way. If he is the
nominee, we are for him, and we will
see that he is elected
Whom wOuldy you put up that would
be stronger2"
1--WE thought that Judge Bashore
would be a stronger man, but it is a
matter of personal preference. We
may be wrong. And then there is
Campbell of Stafford. I understand
that his own county has instructed for
him. He is a strong man and close to
the hearts of the Peoples Party We
have a great many able men in the
POpulist party who are capable of
making a good congressman"

AMONG RAILROAD men.
Traffic So Light That Train
men Are Working Little.
Engineers and Firemen Want
Number of Engines Reduced.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail-
road Matters-Per Personals and
Miscellaneous

At no time in the history of the San
ia Fe, and for that matter the major
ity of the western roads, has freight
traffic been lighter than it is at pres
ent. All trains that could possibly be
dispensed with have been abolished,
extra trains are now a rarity, and as
a natural result of the depression the
earnings of road employees have been
greatly reduced.
From the fact that the corps of train
employees was reduced from time to
time as business Hghtened, the depres-
sion is felt to a greater extent among
the engineers and firemen that among
the conductors and brakemen. The
older enginemen on regular runs are
now making but from One-third to one
on the extra list are barely earning a
living. Intervals of ten and twelve
days. and sometimes longer, occur be-
tween trips with the men on the extra
board.
With the older engineers and firemen
there is an inclination to demand that
the number of engines be reduced,
thereby affOrding them an opportunity
of increasing their earnings. 1t is pro-
posed to let the matter stand until fall,
but if at that time business prospects
are no more encouraging, the demand
will undoubtedly be made This will
throw a number of the younger men
out of service, but will also give them
an opportunity of making a better liv-
ing in other employment, a question
which many are already seriously con-
Sidering.

WANT NATIONAL MONEY.
California Populists Have a Financial
Plank for st. Louis Convention.

San Francisco, July 16-E. w. War
dali, chairman of the Populist state
central committee of California, and J.
Taylor Rogers, Mayor Sutro's secre-
tary, have prepared a platform which
it is proposed to present to the national
POpulist convention to be held in St
Louis next week. The financial plank
follows:
I'VE demand a national money. issued
directly by the national government
only, as a full legal tender for all debts
and issued without the agency of any
private corporation or bank, and in cir
culating volume subject to law and
responsible to our needs, and speedily
to be increased to $50 per capita of the
entire people.
such money shall consist of gold.
silver and paper, each dollar thereof
endowed with the sale function i'm
parted solely from the stamp thereon
and not dependent for its money value
upon the price of the material used.
Each dollar shall be interchangea BILE
with, but not redeemable in the other
and shall be denOminated respectively
gold, silver or paper money, all national
debts being payable in either at the
option of the government.
THE United States is a. free and
powerful nation and the financial and
| industrial liberty of its citizens should
| be Independent Of the action of any
other government We demand the
Tree anu uIIlInlIeQ coinage OF gold and
silver by the United States at their
present legal ration of 16 to 1, without
reference to the course of any foreign
nation.
We demand that all national banks
be abolished and in lieu of them that
the government establish a postal bank
in each city, town and village of the
| United States containing a population
of 1 600 or more
The platform also declares for the
| recognition of Cuba and against the re-
funding of the Pacific railroad debts

COULD MAKE CHAMPAGNE.
Herr Won Langen Positive That Kan =
sas Gould Equal France.

H. VonLangen used to buy the wines
for Prince StoIberg in Germany and
he is naturally a good judge of wines.
He told a Journal reporter today
that Kansas can produce as good wines
as France or any European country.
In Douglas county" said he. they
raise Burgundy grapes just as fine as
any raised in France and they can be
made into a fine quality of wine. Very
fine grapes are raised in Allen county
and an excellent quality of white wine
is made from them. COgnac can be
made in Kansas quite as well as it can
across the ocean.
This country could rival California
in the production of wines if given an
opportunity. I state a fact when I say
that in the Solomon valley champagne
can be made that will drive the French
champagne out of the New York mar
ket. What is needed to raise cham
payne grapes is a chaII1y soil and that
is what they have up there. It is just
the place to make champagne and
some day the truth of what 1 say may
be realized

BEING METROPOLITAN.
Is Pretty Tough on Policemen When
it Stops Their Smoking.

The board of police commissioners
has recently passed an order prohibi
ing patrOImen from smoking while on
duty, and it is working a hardship on
some of them. Especially is it hard
for the men on night duty to refrain
from leisurely putting the smoke from
a grocery store cigar, or to pull away
at favOrite pipe. The order is all the
more aggravating because it does not
include special officers, jailers or ser
geants.
One clause which is a little more to
the patrOlmen's taste is that the night
men can light up their ''seegars'' after
10 o'clock at night. Most of the police
men are inveterate users of tobacco
Maybe one reason for this is that mer-
chants and NIL about town often give
a patrOlman a cigar.
Chief Gardiner. SergeantS Ellison
and Donovan, and the special officers
probably use more tobacco than all the
police force combined, but the new
order doesn't affect them.

BILL AGAINST TAPE WORM.
Sheriff Kepley Objects to Feeding One
at Public Expense.

Sheriff Bob Kepley is a greatly both
cred man.
A hundred days or more ago a man
named James Smith was thrown into
Jail for wife beating. It was a High
land Park case.
He has been seemingly all this time
a perfectly healthy man. In fact, he
has been too healthy, for Sheriff KEEP
ley, who feeds the prisoners under con-
tract, for Smith has been a very hearty
eater, though he has not grown remark
ably fat.
Two or three days ago Smith had a
consultation with a physician in regard
to his appetite and yesterday morning
he went out to Christ hospital where he
was separated from another monster
tape worm as the quacks would put
it, which measured 50 feet long in its
stocking feet
The question that now bothers Mr..
KepIey is, shall he send in a bill to the
county for feeding that tape WOrm2
But there is another side to the Ques-
ton. If he does he will then have no
defense in case he is sued by the tape
worm for false imprisonment.
And then withal, shall he sue Mr..
Smith or the tape worm for obtaining
the equivalent of money in prison fare
under false pretenses?
Yes, Mr.. Kepley is a much bothered
man, and even Mr.. Hungate with his
legal lore is also some perplexed.

Horton Men and Baseball.

The employees of the Rock Island
shops at Horton have organized a base
bali team which is expected to defeat
anything in the way of a shop team
that can be produced in the state. AS
a starter, the Horton boys would like
to have game with a team from the
Santa Fe shops in this city. At pres

composed of crack players If a game
can be arranged with the Santa Fe
team, the Horton boys viii run an eX-

is no reason why there should be any
delay in arranging a game, or series of
games.

ARION'S CLOSE CALL.
Aerial Performer Shocked With Many
Volts of Electricity.

New York, July 16.-Arion, whose
speciality is aerial feats on a high wire
charged with an electric current of 500
volts was the chief actor yesterday af-
ternoon at Manhattan Beach in spec
tacle which might almost make Tesla

In his final act in midair AriOn lights
a number of incandesent lamps fasten-
ed to a, belt about his waist, to his feet
and to his head, and in this flaming at
tire gayly rides a bicycle across the
wire. In making the connection with
the lamp in his belt last night ne mad
vertently "short-circuited" himself and
received the full force of the powerful
current in his dazzling belt. The in
sulation of the band was Immediately
burned out and before his helper, who
fortunately was at hand on the plat
form, could render immediate assist

burned about the breast and back.
When AriOn reached the end of his
fooIhardy journey on the wire he was
quickly helped to the ground and into
his dressing room, where he tainted

CAPT. KNIGHT A WONDER.
A Topeka Poet Who is Also an Inven-
tor of Many Useful Things.

EX-County Commissioner J. Lee
Knight has a new invention. He is
probably the most assiduous inventor
in Topeka. Not long ago he turned
out a tax calculating machine which is
pronounced a marvel and about the
same time he invented weather strips.
He also invented an interest calcula-
ting machine and an adder.
His late invention is what he calls
cathode napkins. He has discovered
a chemical process for treating cloth
that will make it valuable as a polish
err He rubs the silver or metal article
lightly with one cloth and then he uses
a second cloth and a beautiful polish
is the result.
Capt. Knight expects to make his
fortune out of his new invention.

JOIN BEHAVES BADLY.
Mr.. Collingsworth Gets Even With an
Editor.
John CoIIinggworth las jumped into


John Collingsworth has jumped into
history again.
He has whipped an editor.
John is now at Emporia where he is
running a hotel He moved there from
Larned some time ago. He had been
running a hotel at Larned, but bust
ness was not good there.
The editor of the Democratic paper
at Larned said some very sarcastic
things about Mr. COllingswOrth and
to EmpOria, again during his life time.
He met up" with Mr.. CollingswOrth
and this is what the EmpOria Gazette
says about it:
j. P COllingswOrth, the new mana
ger of the Fifth Avenue hotel was ar
rested today on the charge of felOnious
assault. 1t appears that Mr.. Ceilings
worth took exception to some state
ments made by the editor of the Dem
Ocratic paper in Larned. and proceeded
to beat his face. The editor is q great
big dark faced MissOurian, but
sheriff says that COllingSWOrth Jared
his lungs loose and knocked out sew
eral editorial front teeth and otherwise
of the editor. The editor evidently
does not look upon it as a friendly bout
for he has sworn out a warrant. and
wants COllingsWOrth to appear and
show cause why he should not be held
to account in court for it,
And after this the editor of the Ga
zette automatically adds:
I'VE trust Mr.. COllingsWOrth will not
take exception to these few kindly re-
marks which are written in the spirit
of most cordial personal friendship
