Topeka, Kan, Oct. 1.-The ex-federal
generals entered Kansas today from
Nebraska and made their first stop at
Atchison early this morning. EX-Sen-
ator ingalls, entered their coach at s
O'Clock at the head of a reception COM
west side of the depot where several
thousand children, a flambeau club and
band were lined up to receive the Wis
itors. General o. Howard was enthusi-
astically greeted. He said General AL
gers voice had given out and he tenn
porarily surrendered command of the
party. He spoke at length, unfolding
the st. Louis platform. AS General
Howard stepped from the platform a
shower OF bouquets were thrown by the
school children upon him and three
cheers given. General T. j.. Stewart
made a short speech and at it's conclu-
sion was followed by another shower
of flowers. General Sickles said he
wanted his hearers to send Senator In
gals back to the senate. Continuing,
he said New York would give Mckinley
10000 majority. AS he finished the
train pulled out amid another rain OF
flowers from the school children.
Topeka, Oct. 1.-The union generals
were given a handsome reception to-
day. The visitors were driven to the
reviewing stand. which was erected on
capitol square, to review the G. A. R.
the stand he was given a rousing greet
ing. The parade was participated in
by old soldiers, United States regulars,
Kansas national guards, Kansas Fire
mems association, and other military
and civic societies and something over
5000 school children. The number of
persons In line was variously estimated
at 5000 to 40, 900. Twice as many more
people thronged the streets. At 3
O'Clock the camp fire, over which Sena,
tor ingalls, presided, vas held. Ad-
dresses were made by General Daniel
E. sickles, General o. o. Howard. Cen
eral Horace Porter. General r. A.. AL

The members Of the party united IN
saying that the most pleasing incident
Of their journey was the delicate bit Of
courtesy shown by Mrs. Bryan, the wife
Of the democratic candidate for presi-
dent, who. while the procession in hon.
or of the visiting generals was NOV

played over the door a large portrait
Of William Mckinley. t%astefully draped
in the national colors. 1t was a touch
of womanly grace, beautiful as 1t was

WHEAT WENT UP.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The wheat pit was
again today a scene of wild excitement,
marked by an advance in the price OF
December to a point 21a cents above
the final figures of yesterday. The -
vance was not held by any means u
big traders whose persistence in holu-
ing on their lines has been partially ir
strumental in the recent rise tool a.,
vantage of the exalted prices to earn
an honest dollar by dumping some o:
their holdings on the market.
The aggregate of the days business
was enormous. Not only were all the
local brokers heavy investors, but out
side speculation was much more prom
inent than usual. The reason for the
bulge can be told in two words-fort
eign news. 1t was not the higher prices
quoted at Liverpool and on the contiI
nent. but the report Of wheat engage
ments for shipment to India from Liv-
erpool, a hitherto unheard of transact
ton. Reports of similar engagement
were confirmed and lent force to the
statement that the India crop was a
failure.
Not all the interest. however, was
conferred in wheat. The corn and pro
vision pits were jammed with excited
spectators all day. An enormous for
eign business was done in corn, anu
prominent packers in trying to cover
some of their lines of provisions, ey-
perienced surprising difficulty in doing,
so. The close showed substantial ad-
Vances all around.

Portland, Oct. President E. Nc
Neill OF the Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION company returned home yester-
day from an extended trip east. where
the final steps of the reorganization of
his company were consummated and
his signature fixed to the new issue of
bonds. Mr.. McNeill was very tired on
reaching Portland yesterday, as the
result of his long journey acros the
continent in his special car. and that.
together with the pressure of his time
incident to accumulated work, made
him inaccessible to all except for the
most urgent business; hence an inter
view vas one of the many impossible
ties of the day.
There were underlined rumors how
ever, that Mr.. Mcneil had returned in
the very best of spirits, as a result of a
deal by which he would get control, or
has already secured control, of the
Oregon Short Line. An effort was

The absent minded man took his
seat at the restaurant table and. as

napkin and a knife and fork in front
OF him and stood two or three minutes
unnoticed before asking:

went away to attend to the wants of
other people, and about fifteen minutes
later came back.
Do you wish anything more?" he
asked politely.

man somewhat vicious1y. Go and get

privilege to give him assurances to the
contrary. After the election, when I
conceived it to be my duty to jump
upon his excellency, the Mayor was
grieved. Later he summoned me to the
City Hall and pointed out an oppor-
tunity that offered to take the back
track, and when 1 refused the Mayor
was previously pained and displeased.
Now the Mayor Is calling the Governor
a tool and the Governor is calling the
Mayor demagogue. And the enemies
of both chuckle. 1t is when these COM
bats between the eminent precipitate

that happiness is not to be gained by

not the men to refuse to be reconciled.

LARGEST BUG ON EARTH.
Little Venezuela is Where the Ele-
phant Beetle Lives.

Venezuela is little republic, but she
has one thing that is the biggest of it's
Kind on earth. 1t is a bug-the largest
insect in all the world. The creature is
known as the elephant beetle" and
when full grown it weighs nearly half a
pound. To be struck in the face by such
a bug, flying at full speed, would make
man feel as if a mule had kicked him.
This beetle, like others of its kind,
both small and large, is clad in a COM
plete suit of armor. This ar1nor is made
OF a material far more indeStructible
than steel-namely, chitine. Chitine
cannot be destroyed except by certain
mineral acids; in other words, only the
articles of chemistry avail against it.
Thus the shells of beetles that died 10,-
100000 years ago have been preserved
perfectly in the rocks, so that we know
to-day just what these insects Of an
tiQuity looked like.
In Europe giant beetles have a consid-
erable market value, commanding
prices in proportion to their size. In
London there are regular auctions Of
insects, and a single butterfly has been
known to fetch as much as $500. A
specimen of the rare and very large
largest beetle of the Old World, and it
first became known through mission
aries in the Congo Basin.
Though no other insect in existence
compares in bulk with the beetle from
Venezuela, there are other bugs that ex-
ceed it in dimensions. For example,
there is the Atlas silk moth, which has
a wing-spread of nearly a foot. 1t spins
a cocoon, the silk of which is better and
stronger than that of the ordinary silk
worm; but, unfortunately, it cannot be
reeled. The Department of Agricult-
ure tried for years to discover a way OF
reeling it, but without success. Moths
of this species often alight on ships in
the Indian Ocean.
There is a butterfly of the Malay Pc
ninsuIa and Malayan Archipelago which
has a spread of ten inches. In India
and tropical Africa are found giant
forms of those remarkable insects
known as walking Sticks which look
like twigs of trees. Some of them meas
ure eighteen inches in length. They are
related to grasshoppers and katyd1ds.
In tropical America are found certain
huge species of bugs that are closely
related to the familiar electric-hgnt
bugs Of this country. Like the latter,
which have been popularity known only
since the introduction of electric lights
tehy fly at night, living during the Day
at the bottom of ponds.-St. Louis Suar.

A Kentucky Incident

The circumstances under which a.
church congregation was dismissed at
Sanders, KY, on a recent Sunday after
noon were peculiarly distressing.
About midway the minister's dis
course, there bolted through the half
open door what appeared to be a. large
black and white tabby cat, followed by
yellow dog. The pursuit was swift
and fierce, and the hunted animal
sought sanctuary under the preachers
pulpit.
That worthy, taken unawares. and
somewhat flustered at being so rudely
interrupted in the midst of a particular
ly pleasant passage, did the natural
thing, under the circumstances. and,
raising his foot, kicked the furry
creature up toward the ceiling. After
describing a number of beautiful para
bolic curves in mid-air, the animal
alighted fairly in the center of the con-
gregation.
Then it was discovered that there had
been mistake as to the species of the
cat; 1t was of the pole variety.
The audience dismissed itself with
more haste than decorum, and it is
hoped that after month or so the
building will again be in condition to
justify the resumption of divine serv-
ices.-Cincinnati Tribune.
