ONE reason why most of the great
nations are either openly or secretly
pleased at turkeys success is that
many OF their citizens hold Turkish
stocks and bonds. These persons
would be pecuniarily injured by Turk
ish defeat for that would lower the
value of their holdings. The class
which buys government and railroad
securities is a very important element
of the population Of every great nation
of the modern day. In the present
conflict most of this element is on the
side of Turkey, because Greece has few
railroads, its government loans have
not been large, ana its general credit
is low. In very direct and emphatic
degree the fnanciers open and shut
the gates of the temple Of Janus these
days. Globe Democrat.

A ROTARY ENGINE.
p, II. Yates, of Beverly, Inyents One That
Seems to be Practical.

p, III. Yates, OF beverly, lnNehts ohe lhuc
Seems to be Practical.
Mr.. p. II. Yates, of Beverly, was in
Malta on last Saturday, says the Nc
Connelsville Herald, to test at the
Brown.Mauly factory an engine he has
construcred. 1t is a rotary engine.and
the inventor claims that it can be used
on bicycles, wagons, or for like pur-
poses, and that the engine as well as
the eXpet Sc of running will be so little
that the engine will come at once into
general use. Much interest was taken
in the test, and it is thought by some
that when perfected the engine will do
that is claimed for it. Mr.. Yates con-
tends that it is complete, but that the
use of handmade packing was all that
kept it from working perfectly in the
test. Mr.. Yates is having another
engine constructed at Marietta. The
test awakened much interest in all
who were present. There was some
talk of organizing a stock company,
but so far as has been learned no act
ual steps were taken in that direction.
The following concerning the engine
was handed us. 1t was taken from a
Beverly paper:
"On Monday we were present at the
test trial of a rotary engine construct
ed by P. H. Yates and which Mr.. Yates
is now patenting. The steam was
turned on and the engine responded
instantly, running at the rate of at
least 200 revolutions per minute with
forty pounds of pressure.
The construction of Mr.. Yates en-
gine is upon an entirely new principle
from any so far tried. 1t was built to
develop three. fourths horse power and
weighs only nineteen pounds, which is
far in excess of what it should weigh,
as it was constructed mostly with
cold chisel and file. There are two
round plates of onefourth inch iron
placed about two inches apart. through
the center of which runs the shaft
which rests upon the balls. In the
| cylinder thus formed are four driving
| heads or piston heads, having a sur
face of about three square inches, with
! friction roller The driving heads are
placed opposite to'each other and at
right angles. The steam enters the
cylinder back Of the driving heads
through the shaft boxing; there being
mil,ed in the cylinder an opening
about onefourth of an inch wide and
one-fourth of the diameter of the cyl
inder at that point, thus the steam
presses direct upon the driving heads,
efourth of every revolution on each
driving head, Two driving heads d.-
rcctly opposite each other, take steam
at the same time, thus equalizing the
pressure on the shaft. Around the cyl
iuder is a center.stance (elliptic in
shGpe) of one.fourth inch steel against
which the friction rollers on the driv-
ing heads bear This is so constructed
that for every four pounds of direct
pressure on the driving heads there is
eXerted one pound of a rotary pressure.
Mr.. Yates will have another engine
constructed at a machine shop and put
it TO practical test"

THAT BIG REGISTRATION.
It Will Go to 10000 but it Means
Nothing in Particular.

The exceedingly large registration of
the last two days the books were open
has started the people to talking and
they wonder what it means.
Commissioner Yount isn't yet able to
tell exactly what the total registration
is because the books have not been
checked up, but he says he thinks it is
over 10000. 1t was at first reported
that the number was less than 5000.
F. L. Whitaker, who was deputy
commissioner under Frank Herald,
the last day the books were open is not
startling and that on the day the books
were closed two years ago the registra-
ton was but 40 less than it was last
week when the office was closed as re-
quired by law.
1t is a fact that the supporters of
Billiard manifested great deal of ac-
tivity during the last week the books
were open, but the men who are look
ing after Mayor Fellows campaign saw
what was happening and did not lose
any time. Street Commissioner James
Ramsey says that four Fellows voters
were registered to one Billiard voter
during the rush, and Mr.. Ramsey usu-
ally knows what he is talking about
when it comes to politics.
If it was the plan of the Billiard
forces to make a still hunt they were
headed off.
There is not much noise being made
about any other part of the ticket ex-
cent the head. There is almost no con-
test on cOuncilrnen in the various wards
and little is being done for any of the
other candidates aside from mayor.

CONGRESSMANCURTIS HERE
Will Not Talk of Politics While His
Grandmother is Seriously Ill

Congressman Charles Curtis arrived
home from Washington yesterday noon.
The cause of his coming to Topeka at
this time is the illness of his grand
mother, Mrs. Permelia Curtis.
Mrs. Curtis is 80 years of age and has
been i'll for some time. Lately she has
been growing worse and her relatives
have all been summoned to her bed
side in anticipation of her death Her
condition was considered critical yester-
day, but is somewhat improved this
morning.
Mr. Curtis was seen by a Journal re-
porter this morning, but said he had
nothing to say in regard to affairs at
Washington.
He said: IT have come home on ac-
count of my grandmother's illness and
don't intend to take up politics or any
thing of that kind while here I will re-
main several days, or, until we are as
sured that she viii recover. There is
quite full attendance of members a
Washington, and 1 suppose there will
be until after next Wednesday, when
the vote on the tariff measure will be
taken. Mrs. Curtis condition is i'm
proved today, and this morning there
is a chance of her recovery. don't ex-
i1ecr TO attend to any business matters
this trip. and may not get over on the
south side of the river at ALL"

SCHOOL BOOK CONTRACTS.
May Not Hold Good Under the New
Law

Notwithstanding the fact that the Amer
lean Book company succeeded in making
numerous contracts with districts to fur
nish school books during the next five
years, before the new law went into ef-
feet. it is believed by those interested
in the administration of the law that the
contracts may not hold good, because of
the following provision:
Every contract with any person, COM
pany corporation, publisher or publish
ers of school or text books for use in the
schools of this state shall be for five years
from the date thereof, and no school dis
trict board or board of education of any
city of the first and second class shall
adopt, use or permit to be used, any other
school text books than those provided for
in this act: provided, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to prevent
the teachers and pupils of this state from
using any school text book other than
books in such schools, and provided fur
Their, that nothing herein contained shall
be construed to apply to the use of school
books in branches other than those men,
toned in this act, nor shall anything here
in be construed to apply to counties now
under contract for county uniformity of
text books. until said contract or con-
tracts shall have expired, or with school
districts cities of the first or second
class having such contract until such
contract shall have expired according to
the terms which have been agreed to in
writing; and provided, at the eXpira ton
of such contract such counties, school
districts and cities of the first or second
class shall thereafter be governed by the
provisions of this act.''

LOCAL MENTION.

The service at Grace cathedral yes
terday evening was fully choral and
the large choir of about % boys and
men reflected credit on their trainer, the
Rev. Mr. Damuth.
The executive committee of the Fes-
tivaI chorus have issued a special call
for a full rehearsal tomorrow night
The work will be upon the contest
numbers.
Mrs J. A. Campbell, the organist of
Grace Cathedral had reason to feel
proud yesterday. for besides her hus-
band, who is one of the senors in the
cathedral choir; her two boys were
amongst the choristers at the evening
service.
The committee on streets and walks
of the city council met today to check
up the work but there was little bust
ness to be considered. This is the most
active committee of the council and
when it has little to do it is an indica-
ton that the council is not having
much work to do. There was an appli-
cation from man who wants to use
part of West street for a potato patch
and another from people who want a
sidewalk in North Topeka Councilmen
Skinner and Warner went on tour of
investigation and they will have their
reports read for the next meeting of
the city council

FOR CONGRESSMAN. AT-LARGE.
Curtis Proposed for the Place by a
Kansas Editor.

Clark Conkling of the Lyons Republican
is running Charlie Curtis for congress-
man-at-large. Mr.. Conkling says in his
paper:
There was one thing that the last leg
islature accomplished. 1t violated all its
political platform promises, but it did
typical piece of political partizanship when
instead of re-diStricting the state, it
should have done-it took Shawnee coun-
ty with it's immense Republican ma jority
out of the Fourth district and put it into
the First district where there is always a
Republican majority. No other political
party would dare attempt such piece of
political gerrymanders very seldom pay
People have conscience if reform parties
90 not, and a gerrymander reacts and
hurts those intended to be helped. In this
case congressman Curtis and Frederick
are thrown into the same district. Would
IT not be the part of common sense and
OF good politics for the Republicans to re-
sent this attempt to retire a worthy con-
gresham by making Charlie Curtis the
RepubllG2n nominee for congressma t.
large? His reputation is already state
Wlde-aS worker he is not excelled.''

BANK PRESIDENT WANTED.
Depositors of the Defunct Hays City
National Send Detective East

Hays City. March pa sensation
was sprung at the meeting Saturday of
the creditors of the defunct Bank OF
Hays City. Mr.. Edward Little, late
president and manager, had presented
the claim of his mother of several hun
dred dollars for adjustment. AS she
was one of the advertised officers of the
bank it was supposed this deposit of
several hundred dollars would be I'M
proved and that amount go toward
paying the depositors. The judge re-
fused at that time to allow it, ques-
tiOning il a director and stockholder
could assign under the circumstances.
1t so incensed the larger deposirOrs
that they held a meeting and raised
$3.50 to send for and prosecute Mr.. Lit
tie. The necessary warrants were
sworn out and a Pinkerton officer
started after Mr. Little. Most of the
depositors thought he should have been
here Saturday looking after matters
and aiding the depOsitOrS rather than
being hid somewhere back east. They
feel that they are not being treated
honestly.

THE INCOME ovEREsTIMATED.
Mr. C. J. Brown Says the Supreme
Court Clerkship is Not q BONANZA

Ex-United States Senator John Martin
will assume his duties clerk of the Su-
preme court July / c. ]. Brown, the
present clerk. will retire at that time. an
agreement to that effect having been
reached by the two men.
1T is a great mistake to suppose that
Mr.. Martin has been seriously hurt by
the new law. which cuts the remunera-
ton of the clerk of the supreme court to
81 coo a year" said Mr.. Brown. the outgo-
ing clerk, today. Il advised Judge Mar
tin, if he had the choice. TO take the pro-
posed salary rather than the fees as they
now stand. In addition to the salary, he
is allowed $1,000 a year for clerk hire,
which raises the receipts of the office to
5000 doubt If he could receive 5000
greatly exaggerated idea of the earnings
of this office. 1t used to be worth conSid-
cradle money, but the establishment of
the appellate courts has greatly reduced
its revenues. 1t is the sheerest nonsense
to talk about the office being worth $780,
900 $40 900 year.

is BuncOed.
AtchisOn Man Taken in by a To-
peka Man.
Matters of General Interest in the
State Departments-Perso
and Notes.

The Atchison Globe of Saturday even
ing publishes the following:
Samuel Ernst, the Populist who repre-
sents the country district of Atchison coun-
ty in the legislature, and who lives a few
miles west of town, met the finest man in
Topeka yesterday he had seen in good
while His name was Johnson, but he
was such fine man that it would have
made no difference if his name had been
Mud. Ernst did not know johnson until
the latter introduced himself, but it was
all right, for Johnson explained that he
was one of the representative conSti-
tuents. and his eloQuence in telling how
he worked to secure Ernsts election was
marvellous Although Johnson had not
known Ernst personally, he had heard a
great deal about him, and always knew
he was the man to send to the legislature
because he was strictly on the square. and
could not be worked. Johnson did not
like trickery in any form, and he told his
wife that his ambition had been realized
when he saw that Ernst had been elected.
But finally it occurred to Johnson that
he had some freight in the freight house
in Topeka which he could not take out,
being unable to get check cashed- Would
Ernst let him have the money, taking the
check as security? OF course he would.
No constituent of his should seek favor
of him in vain. Johnson went away with
the money, but did not come back. John
son was in AtchiSon this morning, but he
escaped before the police could catch him.
Ernst returned to Topeka this morning.
