NEWSPAPER YARNS.
Cy Leland, Who is in Town, So Char
acterizes Some Stories Told.

Cyrus Leland Jr., of Troy is in the
city. Mr. Leland came to town last
evening to be present at the meeting
of the Republican state executive COM
nittee last evening.
Mr.. Leland said to a reporter;
I have not determined what I shall
do in regard to headquarters at Kan
SaS City vet. do not think that shall
establish them there. The national COM
mittee gave me permission to do so if I
chose about a month ago, but I have
not done so yet I think that it will be
more convenient to keep my headquar-
terS at Chicago where will be about
half of the time and then i can make
trips out here and up in Nebraska.
The campaign is running along very
satisfactorily back east I just got
back from there last night. In regard
to the dates of Sherman and Harrison
in this state which I see are announced
in some of the papers as having been
made by Leland, I know nothing what
ever concerning them, except what the
papers say. don't see why the pa
perS will tell such yarns about me. I
dates from either Harrison or Sherman.
L hope to have them for a few days
sometime before the campaign closes,
and as soon as can find out what days
can get them, will turn them over
to the state committees and let them
assign them to places. I hope to get
some other good speakers out here too.
In fact hope to be able to send every
speaker that gets as far west as Chi
cago out here to Kansas and Nebras-
ka''
How about that campaign fund (said
by some papers to be $1O0, ,OOO) that you
are said to be carrying around in your
pocket2''
YES said bystander, won't you
divide that with US, out here?''
well" said Leland. with a laugh
when it comes to dividing a campaign
fund will see that all my friends are
taken care of and that the money is
placed where if will fz
talk about a large campaign fund to
throw the election is all bosh. Few peo-
pie realize what the legitimate expense
of a cOmpaign is anyway. The Dem
Ocrats at Chicago are having a hard
rustic for money. They are not get
ting any at all scarcely. The Indianap-
oils convention will be able to raise
more money than the other fellows will.
I think"

BOONE POSTOFFICE SHORT.
W. C. Bremerman Said He Had to Buy
His Postoffce.

Boone, Ia, Sept. 1.-Postoffice Inspec-
tor Geo. NJ. Christian, accompanied by
Inspector FaWkner, took charge of the
postOfice yesterday. They found Post
master w. c. Bremerman to be short
in his accounts SO, 600; 1,400 in the
money order department and $4,000 in
postal funds.
Bremerman tainted in the office when
he found that his shortage had been
discovered, and has been delirious
most of the time since. He made writ
ten confession in which he declared
that his short cOmings arose from be-
ing obliged to pay a, large sum for his
appointment as postmaster and to give
away much of his salary since.
He said he speculated on the board of
trade, hoping to make some money,
and lost 300 of the money to one
bucket shop firm here in Boone

Get TOM REED
In Place of Major Mckinley If
He Can't Come.
News Received That McKinley's
Visit to Kansas
is VERY DOUBTFUL.
Says He Is Obliged to Decline
All Invitations
That Involve a Trip Away
From Home.
is VERY DOUBTFUL.

1t now seems reasonably certain that
Major William Mckinley will not be
present at Topeka during the week of
the Fall Festival and Reunion.
For some little time the Committee of
Fifteen has felt this to be the case, but
nothing has been said looking to it by
reason of it's uncertainty and by rea-
son Of the fact that it was thought pres
sure might be brought to bear that
would bring him. But Mare Hanna
seems to have determined otherwise.
1t has been understood through the
Associated Press in various ways that
Mr.. Mckinley had decided to remain
closely at home during the entire cam
paign.
The following telegram appears in the
Philadelphia Times:
Baltimore, Md, Aug. 28.-CoI. VIM.
E. Griffith of Gov. Lownde's staff has
just returned from Canton, o.. where
ne called on Major Mckinley and ten
dered him an invitation to become Gov
LoWnde's personal guest on Septem Der
10 and II, and to accompany him to
Antietam battle field and witness the
unVeiling of the monument of the Phil
adeIph1a brigade. In delivering the in
VltatIOn Col Griffith reminded Major
mckinley that he had earned his FIRST
commission as lieutenant at the battle
of Antietam, having been promoted
from nfSt sergeant for bravery, and
l4toI there would De a peculiar DTODrie-
Y IN visiting the place where his pro-
motion began.
Major Mckinley said he was highly
grained at receiving such an invitation
ana that If he had not made a resoIu-
tlon to allow nothing to take him from
nome he certainly would accent it
From now until the election, he said.
there VIII be continual demands upon
MS time and attention which he can
only meet at home, and when a week
ago, he left for a few hours, he found
that his absence had disappointed peo-
pie who wanted to see him and had
thrown things into confusion. For this
reason he felt obliged to decline all in
Yitations that involved a trip from
home, no matter how tempting they
might be-
Members of the Committee of Fifteen
who saw this dispatch today said that
1t probably gave the facts.
Steps are to be taken at once to Sc
cure some other statesman in case Mai

Thomas 3. Reed of Maine, who would
undoubtedly be as satisfactory as an
orator as Maj. Mckinley, will be asked
Immediately, and as he is not bound to
the National Republican committee for
the campaign, will probably accept
Said a member of the committee:
"A pressure will be brought to bear
on Mr. Reed that will probably lead him
to accept our invitation
In case, however, that Mr.. Reed de-
clineS, some other man equally prOmi-
nent will be secured ct any rate.
John Sherman of Ohio, ex-President
Harrison and Col. Robert G. IngersoH
have been mentioned.
Either of these, it is felt, will be able
to please TOpeka's visitors as well as
Mr.. Mckinley.

Missionary Society Calls to See
Ii Hung Chang,
And Thank Him For His Good
Offices
OR THE MISSIONARIES
Ii Says the Chinese Govern
ment Had Only
Done Its Duty in Protecting
Lives of Missionaries.

New York, Sept. 1.-The American
missionary societies represented by 80
ministers, headed by Rev. F. F. Filing
wood, called upon Lii Hung Chang to-
day and presented him with an ad-
dress, thanking him for his interest in
the missionaries in China. The address,
which is quites long, says that for so
years the missionaries of the American
boards have been favored with the pro-
lection of the Chinese government and
that in no nation of the world have
American missionaries received more
just and even generous treatment than
in China
The address, after thanking Earl Lii
for proclamation in behalf of the mis-
siOnaries, issued by him in 1891, says
that it is extremely gratifying to OBJ
serve that at the ppresent time the disin-
terested spirit OF the missionaries seems
to be better understood and more ap-
preciated in China than ever before. The
address refers to work in behalf of
Chinese in this country and says that
were Earl Ii to visit the Pacific coast
he would see the homes and refugees
which, with the cooperation of the
Chinese consul general, the Christian
women of that coast have provided for
unfortunate Chinese girls sold into
debasing slavery"
The address closes with an expression
of satisfaction that the missionaries
have had an opportunity to thank his
exceHency in person and hopes that he
may long be spared to live
Ii Hung Chang responded by thank
ing the ministers for their kindly ex-
pressiOns, adding that his government
had only done its duty in protecting the
missionaries. In conclusion he thanked
the missionaries for their efforts to
stop opium smoking, which he charac-
terized a curse, and expressed his
gratitude for their prayers for his re-
cOvery from the wound inflicted by his
JaDaneSe assailant

EMPLOYEES INDIGNANT.
Heavy Assessm ments Made on Those at
the State Penitentiary.

Leavenworth. Sept. There is COM
plant made by employees of the state
penitentiary at Lansing that they
have been assessed for campaign ex-
penses out of all reason.
If the levy made against the guards
whose pay is $50 a month, is in the
same proportion among the better paid
but less worked officials, the assess
ment is three-fifths of a months pay,
for the guards are compelled to put up
$50.
This extraordinary demand has re-
suited in genuine revolt among the
guards. One of these quit his post last
Saturday. and it is understood three
others will resign their positions.
In the past the amount of the cOntri-
button has never been to exceed SO,
and when two years ago the employees
of the institution under Warden Chase
contributed such an amount to help
the POpulist campaign, it was made a
matter of official investigation by the
committee appointed by the governor
for the purpose of securing Chase's re-

SEVENTEEN CENTS A DAY
Is What Workingraen Are Paid in
Certain Gold Standard Countries
Saws MI. Turner.

r w. Turner of Nankato was in the
city for a short time today. Mr.. Turn
er was on his way to Wellington where
he addresses a silver meeting tomOr-
row. He will also speak at Centralia
on Saturday evening. Mr.. Turner said
to a reporter:
I have not been able to devote much
time to the campaign as yet. 1 have
addressed some local meetings around
home and in the meantime have been
getting my business in such shape that
1 could leave it and go into the work.
hope to be able to get out from now on.
From what 1 have seen though 1 am
very confident of the success of the sill
yer cause in this state.
1.-The references made to Mexico by
the single gold standard people are alb
sOluteIy ridiculous to every man of in
telligence. In the first place Mexico is
now more prosperous than ever before,
but if such were not the case it would
argue nothing against free coinage If
the arguments made about Mexico by
the single standard people are entitled
to consideration, why is it not an an
Swer complete to say, You single gold
standard people are trying to reduce
the laboring man of the United States
to the condition of the Egyptian fell
1ah who in that gold standard country
works for five cents a day, or to the
condition of the Turk who in his gold
standard country works for a few cop
pers day, or to the condition of the
Spaniard who in that gold standard
country receives on an average for II
hours work 20 cents, or to the condition
of the Portuguese, who in that gold
standard country receives for q days
work of II hours, II cents per day. Por-
tugaI adopted the gold standard in
1853, and since that time her national
debt has increased 100 per cent, her 8
per cent gold bonds are now selling in
London at 2614, while Mexico's silver
bonds are selling at 9615.
Armour offered so cents worth of
meat and a Mexican dollar for an
American silver dollar. A short grass
butcher goes him one better and offers
so cents worth of meat and 81. 80 in
Portuguese gold 3 per cent bonds and
will stand by his offer even if McKin-
ley is elected, will Armour stand by his
if Bryan is elected?''

by Secretary Carlisle will be the one
decided upon. The tariff plank will
probably not be so radical as that
adopted four years ago, but viii be
clear declaration for a tariff for reve-
nue. only.
Thetwo points on which there is like
" to be a wide divergence of opinion
are those relating to an income tax and
currency. The former is being advo-
Gated by western and southern and the
latter by eastern delegates. The east
ern delegates are opposed to an en-
dorsement of an income tax through
constitutional amendment and argue
that if such a plank We're adopted the
POpulists could say with justice that
the Gold Democrats were seeking in an
indirect way the very thing they were
advocating directly.
The plank in favor Of the retirement
of the green backs and the establish
ment of a new federal banking system
giving the banks the power of issue un-
der federal supervision CThe banks to
redeem their notes in gold and main
tain a sufficient gold reserve for that
purpose) is being pressed by eastern
delegates, but is meeting with Opposi-
ton in the west and south, where there
is strong sentiment against the ex-
tension Of the national banking sys-

A QUEER $50 BILL.
Issued by Defunct State Bank of
Pennsylvania Accepted by
JeweIer Morrison.

Miss Clara Fox, a woman who has
been employed as waitress at Christ
hospital, but who now is working at
Robert Lees ranch southwest of the
city, purchased a gold watch and chain
and q. pair of ear rings on Saturday
from c. H. Morrison, the jeweler.
In payment for them Miss Fox gave
Mr.. Morrison a $50 bill issued by a de-
funct state bank of Pennsylvania The
value of the goods purchased was just
$50. Mr.. Morrison received the bill for
payment and the woman went her
way
When Mr. Morrison examined the
bill more closely he found that it was
an old state bank bill issued in 1864. It
was issued by the Oil City bank of
Pennsylvania, September Is, 1864. The
name of G. Heydrick, president, and J.
]. Eddy, cashier, were signed to it.
Mr.. Morrison reported the transaction
to the police, and yesterday afternoon
he had Detective Zeller begin the search
for Miss Fox. All they knew of her
was that she had been employed at
Christ hospital. At the hospital they
learned that she had left there and
was at Robert Lees ranch southwest
of the city. They went there and
brought Miss Fox to the city jail where
she admitted having passed the bill,
but said that her uncle had sent it to
her from Pennsylvania The gold
watch, chain and ear rings were Sc
cured and turned over to Mr.. Morrison
and he refused to prosecute Miss Fox.

AT ST. PAUL.
Morning Opened Threatening
For the Veterans,
But the Sun Came Out Early
Making All Bright.
BIG CROWDS COME.
All Night Long Heavy Trains
Roll Into the Depot.
An Estimate of 10000 Visi-
tors In the City.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 1.-The second
day of Grand Army week opened with
just enough clouds to make the wealth
er-wise expect rain, but the clouds
served simply to make it more comfort
able for the marching veterans as they
tramped to their quarters or partici-
pated in the parade of naval veterans
and ex-prisoners of war. Before noon
the sun broke through the clouds and
the mildly bracing northwestern wealth
er continued another day.
All night long the heavy trains rolled
into the depot, and all night the local
accommodation committee and others
delegated to see to the housing and
comfort of visitors remained on duty.
Today there seemed a decided in
crease in the size of the incoming hosts,
the trains coming in in three, four and
five sections, all loaded. The number
already here and the number known to
be en- route to the encampment demon
estimate of 100000 visitors which was
based on the number of tickets sold
and contracted last week, will be short
of the actual number present tomorrow
when the grand parade starts.
Besides more than 200 reunions Of
regimental and other organizations,
there are continual reunions of COM
rades who had not seen or heard of
each other since they pressed elbows
together in the old war days Many
touching scenes were witnessed around
the depOtS.
Among todays arrivals one of the most
striking was the drum corps Of the
Howell Kelleher post of Buffalo, N. Y,
whose regimental uniform was of the
old continental cut and color, and the
gray hair and strongly marked faces OF
some members of the corps made one
almost think they were some of Wash
ingtOn'S soldiers.

IS cY LELAND TO BLAmEp
Because Mckinley Would Not Visit
Topeka This Year.

The following dispatch dated Tope-

Times:
The local Republicans are on the anx-

tee will not send them a speaker of
note for the Topeka carnival The
Democrats will have VIM. ]. BRYAN.
The Republicans had arranged for Nc
KinIey to speak, but his managers can
celled his date. An effort was made to
get ex-President Harrison, but without
avail. They probably will have to put
up with ingalls, or Burton.
Major Tom Anderson of the carnival
committee says that Cy Leland spoiled
the plan to have Mckinley here. lie
land hates Topeka" Anderson said,
''and seeks to humiliate her at every
turn of the road. The people of Kansas
will one day find this man Leland out
Chairman Simpson denies that Leland

ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS.
The State League Meets and Shows
an Increased Mem bership.

Peoria, Ill, Sept. Five hundred
delegates were present this morning at
the opening session of the Illinois Re
publican league and the entire audi
ence a little more than half filed the
vast tabernacle which was laVish1y and
beautifully decorated throughout with
red, white and blue. Charles w. Ray
mOnd of Watseka, president of the
league, called the convention to order.
Judge Richard Yates of Jacksonville,
son Of of thees Illinois war governor,
made an extended and eloquent speech
replying to the address of welcome.
President Raymond delivered his an
nuaI address, which showed 1, 763 leagues
in the state, with Z, membership of 263,
600, q gain of 562 leagues and of 1850
members during the past two years.
Tanners name was tremendously
cheered, as was McKinley's also. The
leaders predict that Mckinley will have
at least 1O0O 900 majority in Illinois.
Governor Hastings Of Pennsylvania
and others will speak this afternoon
and Congressman McCleary of Mime
sofa this evening.
