JEFFERSON. CITY. Mo. July b
The school textbook okcommission land
ed another FitZsimmons blow at the
schuol-bOOk trusts and combines to-
day by rejecting all of the bids re-
ceived July II for high school books.
This action is in line with the rejection
of the bids for the common school
books on Tuesday last. 1t was just
as unexpected. too, and the represent
atives of the book houses were taken
unawares. The commission invites
bids for next Tuesday. The rejection
is on the ground of high prices. Audi
tor Seibert and other members of the
commission say that the figures must
come down. if they have to stay in
session until next Christmas. The com
mission adjourned until Monday next,
when bids for the common school
books will be received.

Missouri Pension Decision

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 2S.-As-
sistant Secretary of the Interior Davis
reversed the decision of the Pension
Office to-day in the case of Henry G.
Ballinger. of Camden. Mo. Rallinger,
who was a Captain in the Missouri
militia, was pensioned on August 8.
1896, at so month On August II.
1897, his pension was increased to SIS
a month. = In 1890 he made an appli-
catiCn for a further increase on ac-
count of additional infirmities. The
Pension Commissioner denied his ap-
plication. Secretary Davis has re-
versed this ruling on the ground that
the evidence in the case fairly shows
the soldier to be entitled to the in
crease. Ballinger will now receive
$40 a month, and also the amount of
the increase from the day on which he
made the application This will
amount to S420.

COMMENT ON JAPAN's PROTEST.
British Press Makes the Most of An
nexattOn Objections.

LONDON, July 27.-The ''St. James
Gazette, commenting upon Japan's
protest in the Hawaiian matter, SAYS:
According to European usage, it
fer of the archipelago by force, and is
equivalent to warning the United States
that they must give up their views as
to Hawaii or prepare for war. 1t does
mean just so much in the mouth of ia
pan, though the Americans do not
seem to think so. But they have such
odd ideas of diplomatic language that
they are no great authorities. "
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
I'VE have said from the first that it
is no concern of Great Britain whether
the United States anneXes Hawaii or
not, but Japan's protests should give
the American jingOes something to
think about. 1t remains to be seen
American opinion will ratify
the annexation policy. If it does the
matter will become important, for ia
pan has powerful navy: and if it
does not, Secretary Sherman, and. at
any rate. President Mckinley will
think twice before inviting the Japan
ese navy todo the mischiefit undoubt-
edly could"
The ''Globe, after referring to the
cynical insolence of the American
Minister, says:
Should it be our misfortune to en-
gage in "a quarrel with our kin beyond
the sea we must seize Hawaii immedi-
ately. The state OF things against
which it is necessary to take pre-
cautions now is the by no means re-
mote contingency of war between the
United States and European power
able to take Hawaii, which would be-
come strategic point of great i'm
portance against ourselves. If Japan
abdicates or commutes her rights, it
is the clear duty of this country to in
terfere, even at the risk of another
abusive dispatch from Sherman.

THE cAPAHAs VICTORIOUS.

y splendid Game of Baseball Be
tween the Capahas and the DieIs.
The big game of baseball took place
Sunday afternoon between the famous
Capahas and the st. Louis Diels.
Every seat in the grand stand was Oc-
cupied and all the bleacher seats we're
filled.
The game was called at three O'Clock
and the boys began ball playing from
the start. The fight for supremacy
was hotlycontested by both sides. The
Diels play good balland they did their
best on this occasion, but they proved
too slow for the world beaters. Our
boys knew that they had work to do
and they were on the grounds to do
work. They played better ball than
they ever played before. and when the
game ended the score stood six for the
Capahas tc nothing forthe Diels. The
Dlels took defeat gracefully and with
out Il murmer. They seemed to realize
that they had crossed bats with club
that was too much for them and they
were willing to admit that they could
not play ball with the Capahas.
The Diels are all nice young men
and we hope they will some day try
our boysagain. but before they do that
they should put in some of their time
on the ball grounds practicing.

There is medicine whose proprie-

that it is a cure-all. This honest
Medicine only claims to cure certain

clans as being the best for kidney and

MISSOURI SCHOOL BOOK BIDS.
First Lot Rejected and the second
showing Material Reduction.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. July 26.-The
Missouri school textbook commission
to-day again received bids from the
publishing houses for the elementary
or common school books. the bids re-
ceived July l. having all been reject
ed. There We're thirty bids in all. and
an estimate made approximately shows
the wisdom of the commission in re-
iecting the first lotof bids. The figures
on to-day's bids, at a most conserva-
tive estimate. show a 10 per cent re-
ductiOn from the bids of July l. on re-
tail prices and 20 per cent reduction
on the prices now prevailing in the
state under the contract made sixyear
ago. The exchange price, under to-
days bids, is practically cut in two,
the lowest estimate of the reduction
from the BIDS of July l. being 80 per
cent.
The commission, after receiving the
bids, proceeded to tabulate them, and
it will be several days before contracts
are awarded. 1t IS believed that
awards will be made. as the commits
sion has succeeded in getting such a
reduction in the prices of the
books for the common schools. Bids
will be received tomorrow fOrthe high
school books.

Marketing Nebraska Wheat.

OMAHA, NEB.. July 21.-New grain
has commenced to move in Nebraska
in enormous quantities. The Burling-
ton carried out of the state 1900 cars
of wheat yesterday and 300 ears of
corn. The latter is last years crop
that is now being moved since the new
crop is assured. Other roads in Ne
braska carried large quantities to-day.
and vast number of ears are report
ed the various sidings in the state for
shipment. This demand for cars, to-
gether with the demand for coal from
the West, is giving railroads in this
state all they can attend to. The Oper-
ating departments declare that while
the traffic will be the largest in the
history of the state they do rot an
ticipate more business than they can
handle with the increasedrol stock
prepared for the season. In all shops
in the state the employees are working
day and night.

Bones ofa Mastodon.

MIAMI, |. T, July 21.-The lower
jawbOnes of mammoth and three jaw
teeth of mastOdOn in an almost per-
feet state of preservation were taken
from sulpher spring near Miami to-
day. The discovery was made while
cleaning out the spring. The whole
carcass of the mammoth was visi-
bic at one time. and could have been
recovered. but it was decided not to
move it until arrangements can be
made for a plaster mold. a half
bushel or more Indian spearheads OF
the stone age We're also found. The
spring is located in bog, and the
theory is advanced that these huge an
imals went there for water, and be-
coming mired up in the mud were
slain by Indians or some race now
extinct. There is no way of determin-
ing how long the remains have lain
there, but the best geologists say per-
haps more than thousands of years.
The remains were taken charge of by
Col. W. c. Lykins, who will ask the
Smithsonian Institution to further in
vestigate the matter.
