 Nearly 10000 People.

KANSAS CITY. July 24.-The city directory for 1896, which will come from the publishers this week, contains 62,7S5 names of individuals.

OVERFILLING.
Soldiers Home Cannot Accommodate
 All That Apply.

LEAVENWORTH,J July "A. - There are now more members OF the roll of the western branch of the National home for disabled volunteer soldiers, near this city, than at any time since its establishment.
 The number, while considerably over the 5000 mark, is not all present, about 600 being on furlough, but not wihstanding the absence from the branch of so large a number, 1t is crowded to its utmost capacity, com polling the board of managers to di- rect the cessation of all admissions to the branch home until further orders.
 The governor of the branch in giv- ing public notice to this effect, says that applications will not be consid- cred and applicants will save them selves trouble and expense by not coming to the home in expectation of being received. They cannot be ad- mitted even temporarily, for the reas- on that there are no beds, bedding or barrack room for their accommoda- tion.

An Invidious Distinction Against
 Where Is the Constitution?

OAKLAND, Gal, July 24.-The Col ored Cycle club of Oakland, which has been trying for the past three years to be admitted to membership in the League of American Wheelemn, has received a letter from the president of the l.. A. w. to the effect that the color line will be drawn in the league and that their organization cannot be rec ognized.
 The fifty-seven members of the Oak land organization are more than indig- nant at the ruling of the league, for now they say that even if the mem bers do make any world records there will be no chance for their champion to receive proper recognition.
 In speaking of the subject this morn ing President Williams of the colored cyclists said:
 ''It is simply an outrage that we, American citizens, cannot become members of the National organization just on account of our color It would have been just as sensible for the league management to say that red headed men who ride wheels would have to form league of their own on

CAR FAMINE.

KANSAS CITY, July 24.-Owing to the sudden activity in the corn trade by the rec ynt general cut in rates to all points, a car famine is imminent. All the railroads are rushing empties into the Kansas grain belt from the di- visions of their road where the de- mand is not so urgent. The movement of the immense apple and peach crops and enormous quantities of vegetables to northern and western points is also tax on the carrying ability of the roads entering Kansas. Some Sedg- wick county farmers will clear from their fruit crops this year amounts equal to the value of their farms.

POISONED WITH IVY.
Three Hundred Victims in the Camp
 Lincoln Hospital

SPRINGFIELD, H., July 24.-There was an unexpected development from the march and bivouac of the Seventh and Second regiments on Monday night and Tuesday morning. This morning the hospitals of the two regi- ments were crowded with men who were suffering with inflammation from poison ivy Some of the men were severely burned and the surgeons were kept busy treating them.
 When they reached camp on Mon day morning they pulled the ivy from trees and fence stakes and in some cases used it for bed. There were over 300 cases of the poisoning, fully three-fourths of the men who came in contact with the vine being afflicted more or less seriously. It is expected a large number of the First regiment and Ninth battalion will be similarly poisoned before they can be warned.
