ALL GOLD BANNERS.
Absence of Bryan Cloth in New York
City.


New York, Aug. 6.-To a stranger
having business in the lower part of the
city it must seem odd to see in this
Democratic city none but Mckinley and
Hobart banners strung across the
streets. In nearly every busy thorough
fare in the dry goods district, the jewel
ry, drug and financial districts can be
seen flags with the names of the Re
publican candidates attached or hand
some banners showing what the uni
versal sentiment of the business men is
this year.
One of the handsomest banners is that
hung out by Seabury & Johnson, at
Nos. SO and 81 Maiden Lane 1t is a
souvenir of 1892, having done duty in
that campaign. The names have been
changed and it has all the appearances
of a new banner. The president of the
company. George J. Seabury, is a
staunch Republican, and is delighted to
find that many of his business associ-
ates who voted the Democratic ticket in
1892 are now actively interesting them
selves in the election of Mckinley and
Hobart

FIREMEN's TOURNAMENT.
Shows Every Indication of Being a
Well Attended Event

That the firemen of the different
towns in Kansas will be here is certain
and that their tournament will be a
snowy affair is beyond doubt From all
over the state come reports daily of
delegations coming and of fire DEPART
ments that are polishing up their brass
buttons and creasing their uniform
trousers and drilling almost night and
day in anticipation of carrying off some
of the prizes that Topeka will offer.
Chief Wilmarth has that part of the
parade in charge for the Committee of
Fifteen and is working hard.
J. Q. Golden of BeIoit, president of
the State F'iremen's association, writes
Chief Wilmarth; All the departments
that I hear of up our way are prac-
ticing for the Topeka tournament, and
from what I can hear the same is true
of all parts of the state. We will bring
25 men and perhaps more. We are try
ing to bring our celebrated band"
The secretary of the association, f.
w. LangdOn of Junction City, writes:
4 receive encouraging letters from all
parts of the state. Our department
is making every effort to win all the
prizes you offer and are very enthusi-
astic. In my opinion Topeka will have
the largest crowd at the Fall Festival
that she has ever had"
S. c. Compton, chief at Winfield-We
will try and be with you.
+. G. Lemaster of Abilene-We will
surely have our team on the grounds.
J. W. Wharton of Yates Center
Can't say yet how many men we will
send to your tournament.
T. W. Butcher of PeabOdy-We would
be glad TO take part. Write particu-
lars.
H. w. Davis of Wellington-Am
afraid we can't be there but our band
is preparing to carry off all your prizes.
The departments at Pratt, Florence
and several other places have also writ
ten that they will be represented or
expect to be present
A rate Of one fare for the round trip
has been secured and an attempt is be-
ing made to get the fire companies a
better rate than even that.

MOTHER AND FRUIT.
Monument Commission in a Guam
Diary About One Figure.

Des Moines, Aug. 6.-The Iowa mon
ument commission will meet in this
city tomorrow The figure of His
tor" the only matter not settled will be
considered
1t has been decided to change the
original idea of having it a mythology
cal figure and substitute the figure of a
woman representative of the Iowa
mother during war times. Aside from
the drapery question, which is to again
come up, a controversy has arisen as
to what she shall be surrounded by.
Investigation discloses that the Iowa
mother canned fruit and made jellies
and quilts as her part in the war, but
the idea of placing canned fruits and
jellies on the monument is said to have
driven Carl ROhl-Smith, the artist, into
secIusiOn in EurOpe until it is settled.

GIVING AWAY FRUIT.
In Indiana Fruit is So Plentiful There
is no Sale for It.

Anderson, Ind, Aug. 6.-App1es
touched their lowest price in history in
this county yesterday, and then had no
buyers. They were offered for sale at
20 cents a bushel, and but few were sold
at that. 1c
The crop this year is the largest in
the past ten or twelve years, and they
are lying on the ground rotting. The
same is the case with the peach crop,
and they are selling at ridiculously low
prices. The strawberry crop sold for
nothing because of the plentiful crop,
and the opening prices for grapes are
lower than any previous record. The
grape crop this year will like the peach
and apple CROPS. be the largest in wears.

1T is the most dreadful spot on the
American continentr' said distin-
guished Frenchman who once visited
the notorious New York slum known as
the Five Points" The same opinion
was expressed by Charles Dickens after
going through this dangerous quarter
with an armed police escort. The tive
points, in those days, was famous as the
abode of thieves, thugs and murderers.
In recent years, this unsavory dis
trict has undergone marked improve
ment. To-day it compares favorably
with similar quarters of other great cit
les and most OF this improvement is
due to the celebrated Five Points Mis-
sion and its army of Christian workers.
This excellent organization has per-
formed and is performing a great and
noble work.
One Of the greatest works of the mis-
sion is to minister to the sick and it is
a work that has been highly successful.

been enabled to combat a vast amount
of sickness and afford relief in many
critical cases with the aid of but one

ABOUT JOSEPH HAWKS.
Once Figured as the Principal in a Mystor-
ious Disappearance,

Once Figured as the Principal in a Mystor-
ious Disappearance.
Special 20 the Register.
Parkersburg. w. Va, March 20
The sensational arrest yesterday OF
Joseph Hawks has brought to light
some queer actions of Hawks.
About ten years ago, while a seem
ingy prosperous liquor dealer OF TINS
city. he disappeared suddenly. He had
announced that he was going east on
business. and after he was traced TO
Grafton his whereabouts were never
learned, and il was supposed he had
been fOully dealt with. The Valley
river az Grafton was dragged. His
grin and several small articles were
found in a hotel at Grafton. Capt.
J. r. Mehen later traced him to Gov
ingtOn, Va About two years ago 1t
became known that Hawks was in Chi
cagO and intended returning here. In
a short time he made his appearance
and accepted the position he now holds.
A peculiar feature of the arrest Of
Hawks is that when the Freeland wo-
man was arrested three years ago she
stated that the money was given her
by man whom she said she did not
know. and the description she gave OF
the man was closely noted by the OIL
GERS, and a search for the unknown has
been going ON ever since.
The description she gave by a coincl-
dence closely tallies 10 that of Hawks,
who says that he can clearly establish
his innocence by evidence, although
the government claims to have convinc-
ing proof of his guilt.
Hawkes. friends claim that 1t is a
Matchmaking scheme.
