Col Soeftield Phelps When. IN this
months number of "Godeyfs Magazine"
he wrote what appeared in last night
News headed Regards to the
Colonel No matter whom he meant, the
remarks are not applicable to Col. Phelps,
as anyone may see.
Yours,
A GENTLE READER.
Mr.. Pangborn couldenot possibly have
meant Col Phelps. He would not dream
of wounding the gallant .Colonel's gen
tlemanly sensibilities, by calling him a
Fool-with a capital F, too-and by sug-
costing h he was making people think
that he die the work which Mr.. Joseph
A. Dear is really doing. 1t would be so
untrue, you know. Anyone can see that
there is nothing foolish about Mr.. Phelps.
father left him a fortune, and as to his
investment in the journal" there was
nothing foolish about that. 1t was a
paying property two years ago, when
Major Pangborn edited it and Colonel
Phelps bought 1T.
The -inappositeness of saying that Col.
Phelps looks owlish is also obvious, and
it. would be grossly incorrect, as well as
offensives to say that he displayed the
Hsolemnity of an ASS. Mr.. Pangborn
would never dream of attaching such ex-
pressions to the gentleman who has
achieved a nomination for Governor of
New Jersey at the hands of the Bayonne
Democrat"
Finally, there is no effort on Colonel
Phelps part to steal the laurels from
the brow of Mr.. Dear or any other of
his employees. Like Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett, he owns his paper at long range.
He is frankly and genially Indifferent
about the COMPOUNDED thing, and leaves
the manipulation of it to his underlings on
the distinct understanding that he shall
not be bothered about. it in any way.
No. no, Mr.. Pangborn cannot possibly
mean Colonel Phelps in his neat little
"~Sefnonette." He has somebody else in
mind. We cant think just who; but
somebody else. somebody else.

BAKER ON CIVIL SERVICE.
The Kansas Senator Says it is Stu
pendous Fraud-Of Course.

Leavenworth, July 30.-United States
Senator Lucien Baker arrived home
from Washington at noon yesterday
and found a big mail awaiting him.
Local off1ceseekers started calling on
him during the afternoon. The senator
will remain only three days, when he
will leave with his family on a visit to
Colorado.
In response to the question, what
will be the effect of the new TARIFF" the
senator replied:
1.-The effect ought to be good. I think
it is a better bill than we ever had be-
fore-the best measure since the war.
1t affords more protection to industries
than any other bill. 1t is in the inter
est of the farmer, because it places a
duty on hides, duty on Mexican cat
tie and a duty on wool. Cattle and
sheep are higher than they were before
the passage of the bill. 1t also affords
protection against Canadian hay and
products and furnishes protection to the
salt manufacturing industries in Kan
sas and the manufacturers of gypsum
in Kansas. The manufacturing indus
tries of the country are gradually be-
ing opened and laborers are finding
more employment and general prosper

What do you think about the civil
service syStem?''
My own private opinion is that it
is the most stupendous fraud of the
18th century. 1 believe that civil sery-
ice rules should be applied only to GER
tain departments of the government.
1t is all right to apply them to the rail-
way mail service, to the weather bu-
reau, to the higher branches of geo
graphical survey, and to a few technical
departments, but there ought not to be
above 1000 or IS, 900 places covered by
them. The remaining positions should
be left open to the representatives of
the party in power. An examination
by civil service methods is no just lest
of mans ability to discharge the du-
ties of public office. Business men do
not submit questions to applicants for
positions, because they know it is no
true test of a mans qualifications. L
know cases in which three or four mem
berS of the same family are in the civ
il service drawing good salaries, never.
returning to their state to vote. nor do
they subscribe to campaign funds. These
preferred people hold office while the
men and the boys do the voting.

at ST. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Hall will sue

ton on August 1.
Mr.. Hall was formerly assistant SUI

the Santa Fe, but gave up that posi-
ton over a year ago to take the place of
superintendent of terminals of the Rio
Grande Western railway with head
quarters at Salt Lake City. He resign

ice.
There were a number of applicants
for the position of superintendent of ter
minals at ST. Joe, the majority of the
applica tionS being made by men in the
employ of the Santa Fe. Among these
men the appointment of Mr.. Hall, who,
for over year, has not been connected
with the road, is looked upon with any
thing but favor.
The statement of President Ripley
when assuming charge of the road that
agement would be filled by promotion of
men identified with the service, is cited
in connection with Mr.. Halls appoint
ment.
Since the transfer of Mr. Starr
to Kansas City, A. E. Marteney, chief
clerk in the terminal office, has been
conducting the business at ST. Joe.

ssFORFEITs' DON'T COUNT.
Warrants Issued for Jointists Even
After Paying Police Fines.

This morning a committee from the
temperance committee of seventeen,
consisting of Attorneys A. H. Vance,
Frank H. Foster and H. G. Lariner,
appeared before Police Judge Atchison
during the session of police court for
the purpose of demanding that the
court issue alias warrants for all the
jointists who were arrested by the po-
lice on the charge of maintaining a
nuisance and who forfeited 500, thus
avoiding the so days Jail sentence
which the nuisance ordinance requires.
Attorney Bird at police court, made the
motion to Judge Atchison asking that
the warrants be issued, and stating
that it was asked ON behalf of Mr..
Bird.
Mr. Vance stated that the committee
desired alias warrants for seven joint
lists who had forfeited the 500 deposits
each and had not been required to
serve a Jail sentence.
Police Judge Atchison took the case
under Amusement. He said he would
like to hear from City Attorney Bird
personally. Mr.. Bird is in Wichita,
but will be at police court tomorrow to
ask for the warrants on behalf of the
city.
After police court today Judge Atch-
isOn, being asked about the action
taken, said for publication: 81 wanted
to hear direct from Mr.. Bird, so 1 took
it under advisement until tomorrow
morning at $50 o'clock. If Mr.. Bird
asks for those warrants I feel pretty
sure they will be issued

PEFFER'S MELONS.
They Make Excellent Food for Young
Turkeys.
The Wichita Beacon says:

The Wichita Beacon says:
H. G. Toler was probably the mad
dest man in Sedgwick county this
morning, and when he left home he
told the. boys to kill every turkey Mrs.
Toler had on the farm at ToIerville.
. Mr.. Toler is a good eater on most all
occasions, but what he particularly likes
is a good ripe cantaloupe. Last fall
Senator PETER sent him a package of
seed from a Tennessee cantaloupe that
the senator said would make Mr.. To-
lers mouth water whenever he thought
of them after he hand once eaten them.
The former owner of Ashland Wilkes
and John r. Gentry and the present
owner of Myron McHenry planted his
cantalOupes and hoed them carefully.
He pulled every weed that he thought
was near enough to, rob these canta-
1Oupes of a drop of moisture, and last
Saturday Mr.. Toler had about rs of the
finest cantaloupes he had ever seen. He
figured that they would begin to get
ripe in about ten days. Last Sunday he
saw an old turkey hen leading her
brood down to his melon patch and he
thought they were looking for bags
This morning he went down to view
his cantaloupes and found that that
turkey hen had eaten a hole in every
melon and picked out all the seed for
the little turks to eat.
1t would be putting it very mildly to
say that Mr.. Toler was hot.

main building by corridors. The rooms
are the finest in the house and have
been especially finished and furnished
in elegant style and taste. The presi

lake and mountain scenery. Mrs. Nc
Kinley is a good traveller and suffered
no material fatigue from the journey.
The president has appeared in public
only once, coming into the hotel lobby
for a short time and visiting the weigh

at 191 pounds.

of Vermont, came, representing the

General Peck eXacted a promise that
the president would visit Burlington
next Wednesday and review the cav
airy troops at Fort Ethan Allen and
later attend reception in his honor.
The only other plans so far made by
the president are review of the
