1t Is Affixed to the General Deficiency
Washington, June s.-The president
sent veto message to the house. of
representatives on the general defcien-
cy appropriation bill Saturday after
noon. He replies briefly to the criti-
cisms of his exercise of the veto power
and says he has hurried the prepare
ton OF the message in order that con-
gress may take action in the matter
without delay. The ground for the
veto is the provision made relating to
the payment of the French spoliation
claim.
Speaker Reed laid before the house
the presidents veto of the general de-
fciency bill, and it was read. From the
applause which swept over the hall at
the close of the reading it was appar-
ent that the message met nearly gen
eral approval.
The greater part Of the afternoon ses-
sion was devoted to the presidents veto
Of the general deficiency appropriation
bill It was vigorously attacked by
Messrs. Mahon (rep., Ky.) and Gros-
venor (rep., o. and defended by Messrs.
Cannon (rep., Ill.), Dockery (dem...

sustained by a vote Of 40 to 80.

Detroit, Mich, June 4.-The national

having effected provisional organiza-
ton to continue until the next conven-
ton, which it was decided to call on the

st. Paul, Mimi, June s.-Reports re-

cate that the damage done by the
great storm will reach fully $500, OOO
The loss of human life is not yet
known, but three people are known
to have perished. These are C. w. Cas-
Teton, of Ash Lake; E. w. Hunter, OF
Adrian, and Moses Chadwick, of Mobiles
county. There were at least 1000 cat
tie, sheep, hogs and horses drowned
in southwestern Minnesota. The great
est casualties were at Luverne and on
the Rock river. Two c]oudbursts struck
the latter in three hours. and the river
overfowed the country for miles.
Many people were forced to take to
trees or the roofs of their houses, and
a rescuing party was sent out for them
from Luverne. The current was so
swift that the rescuers were over
turned and themselves rescued with
great difficulty. A second party saved
20 or 80 people who were in grave
peril. Many business houses were
flooded in Luverne. Across the bor-
der, in South Dakota, at least 10000
acres Of grain were ruined by flooding.
Several houses and elevators were
blown down at the town of Chapel, S

Undersells American Sugar.

Washington, June Al. B. German,
United States consul at Matamoras,
Mexico, informs the state department
that beet sugar is icing shipped from
France and Germany to New Orleans,
and sold on board the Havre and Bre-
men ships to merchants in Matan:oras
at 354 cents a pound, the freight and
duties amounting to Az cents pound.
Mr.. German says that how this sugar
can pay such long hauls and undersell
the same article of American refineries
is. a question for considera ton. He
thinks that American sugar should con-
troll the Mexican market.

DERvISHES DEFEATED
Garrison at Firket Routed by the Egypt
.ans-1 900 Men Killed. -

Firket. Egypt, June S.-This point
was taken by the Egyptian troops at
an early hour Sunday morning, and
their manner of acquitting themselves
in this, the first engagement of the Nile
campaign, has given great satisfaction
to the British officers in command of
them. The Egyptian forces left Aka
sheh, the Egyptian outpost, Saturday
night. The movement was a surprise.
as it seemed to have been determined to
hold Akasheh as an outpost until the
season was passed and the period ar
rived for the advance upon Dongola in
the latter part of August or September.
The force responded promptly to or
ders, however, and was soon under way
for this point. The distance is 2osmiles
and it took the whole night to ac-
complish the march. t5'
The arrival of the Egyptians at the
dervishes' camp took the enemy COM
pletely by surprise. They quickly raj
lied, however, and rushed to their arms.
Far from being routed by the first
skirmish of the attack, they stood their
positions and made a stubborn defense
of their camp for an hour and half,
during which there was hard fighting.
The deryishes were finally put to route
by a flank movement executed by the
cavalry. Reports received indicate that
the loss to, the deryishes will amount to
1000 men. Among those killed is Emir
Hammuda, who was their commander,
besides many important chiefs. The
Egyptian loss in the. fight was 20 killed
eight wounded. Hundreds of dervishes
were taken prisoners. *n. :,

old woman whose extraordinary fervor
drew tears to our eyes. Over her dirty
dress she carried a ragged bag, which
contained, doubtless, piece of black
bread. She was evidently from some
distant province, and had been walking
for a month or more, living on aims,
sleeping in stable with the cattle, i'm

she was fulfilling a VOW, perhaps her
poor, distorted brain pictured Moscow
as a place of felicity, paradise, where
the unhappy would be cured of their
sorrows. Squatted in the mud, her
hands clasping a shepherds staff, she
was gazing Gxedly before her. Her
wrinkled face of waxlike color was
TRANSPORTED with enthusiasm. Her lips
rlurmured a prayer, but her eyes were
gazing into Heaven. There was in this
eye a superhuman expression, sad and
serene at the same time. This was dead
to all thought, to all sentiment of real
life; she existed as in dream Touched
with pity approached her and slipped
a ruble into her hand. Without a glance
at him who bestowed this fortune, the
old woman evidently believed that
miracle had been accomplished, tears
ran down her cheeks, and she extended
her arms toward the Father, toward
the czar, to whom she attributed this

OBITUARY

Died: At his home in lola Sunday
morning at $3.50, Mr.. Samuel Marion,
aged "A years.
Samuel Marion was born November
IL, 1922, in east Tennessee. He left
Tennessee in 1851 moving to Illinois
where he resided until the year 1869,
thence coming to Kansas where he
has since lived. Mr.. Marion Joined
the NJ. E. church in Tennessee, lived
in that church until he came to Kan.
sas. He then joined the Congrega-
tional church, living a consistent
member until he moved to lola, there
being no church of that denomination
here he never attached himself to an.
other church. He had had a long ILL
ness and last Friday he frightened
up aid told his family that he
had had hard time of it but he would
soon be all right now. And at an early
hour Sunday morning he passed
peacefully away.
Mr.. Marion was a quiet, peace
full, lsw-abiding citizen, loving hus-
band and father, 1t must be said Of
him that he died with broken heart
for since the death of his loving wife
about two years ago, he lost all inter
est in living and has continually
mourned the loss of his dear compan.
ion and has grieved himself away
He leaves q family of five children
who have the sympathy of all theil
friends in their irreparably loss.

speech which sulogized both candi-
dates and kept his audience guessing
until the last moment what he was
going to do, withdrew the name OF
Oscar Foust from the further consid-
GRAFTON Of the convention, and moved
the unanimous nomination of w. A.
johnson. The fact that the delegates
had no intimation of what was COM
ing, and the skillful presentation
of the matter by Capt. Ewing,
made the incident almost dramatic,
and while the vote of the convention
was for Johnson, the cheers of the
convention were for Feust no less
than for the nominee. After Judge
Johnson had briefly acknowledged
the compliment paid him, Mr.. Foust
was called out and the excellent
speech that he made was greeted with
the utmost enthusiasm. 1t is safe to
say that if for any reason Judge john
son should withdraw as a candidate
and the same convention should be
called upon next week or next month
to choose his successor, no name
would be mentioned except that of
Oscar Foust.

Chas. II. Ridgway, of Ottawa, Sec
rotary of the North Eastern Kansas
Fair Circuit and secretary of the
Franklin county Fair, was in lola
Tuesday and had a meeting with the
officers of our Fair Association. The
result of the meeting was that our
Fair has been placed in the Circuit
and that means great future for our
Fairs The greatest advantage in be-
ing in the Circuit is that it will bring
whole lot of good horses here as
well as great many other attractions
that go to make Fairs successful.
The officers of our Fair Association
are also thinking quite seriously of
joining the National Fair Association
and by doing so ours will become a
National racing track. We hope this
will be done as there are a great
many advantages in it. There are
certain projections and certain laws
that must be obeyed and these are
very essential in making q good Fair.
Becoming a member of the North
Eastern Kansas Fair CIcruit it means
q great deal for the future of our fairs.
1t means that our Fair will be we'll
advertised all over the circuit. 1t
means that we will have horses here
that we could not get otherwise. 1t
means that larger crowds will attend.
1t means that we can offer better in
ducements. The Circuit begins this
year at Bolton, Mo, going then to
Olathe, Paola, Ottawa. Garnett, then
to lola. The above named towns
have good regulations for their fairs
and hereafter lola will be right in the
band-wagon and will keep up with
the procession. The dates of our Fair
this year will be Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, Septem-
Der 8, Q, 10, and IL.
Now let us talk Fair and think Fair
and work for our Fair from this day
until it is over. We have everything
to make our Fair a success. Good
track, good grove, plenty of good
water, not too far from town. Good
hotels to accommodate all visiting per-
sons, and gentlemanly lot of Fair
managers to attend to all matters per-
tanning to the Fair. Let every far
mer prepare one or more exhibits and
come in early and often.
1t may be q little early to talk
about our FAIR but we want you to
get to thinking about it and we will
try and help you think little every
week or two.
