JACK EXPE-
DITiCN

Captain Jack Crawford, we'll known
in this city, is ont with a prospectors
expedition for the Klondike. which
he is to head in the Spring. OF all
various propositions which confront
the public re@arging prospecting in
the North, the one outlined by Cap
tain Jack Crawford is the best. 1t is
one that you can risk your money Oh.
Of course it is a gamble, all these
things are. Most of these schemes
are headed by the most inscriptions
sharpers, who, if they found ten mil
lion dollars i'll the Klondike would
not give the glub-stakers six-bits.
But Jack Crawford is an honest
man In all his life there has never
been a suspicion any where of his
honesty. 1t is the mate, natural
honesty that to a man with
his mothers milk and sticks to him
until he dies. He is a man Of fear
less courage, OF iron Will ana a N1gl-
lence that never sleeps. AS the lea
der of a band of sturdy gold seekers
in the desolate regions of the North,
he would be the ideal prospector.
He has the confidence of thousands OF
old friends out this way, who con
slider money placed in his keeping to
be good for a return as long as Cap
tain Jack is alive.
If he heads such an expedition
there will be plenty of stock taken in
Nevada. The company he heads has
been incorporated with a capitol OF
$4,000 and will start for the klon-
dyke in the Spring. All they locate
and develop is divided with the
shareholders after the expenses.
Their Office is $50 Nassau St, New
York City.

The fact that the once enormous es-
tate of Mrs. Miramontes Of San Mateo

literally, to less than nothing recalls

something like 800, 900, finally show

srocKYARps CASE.
It is Still Dragging Along With No
End in Sight.

The end of the investigation of charg-
es made by the Kansas City stock
yards company is not yet, and, what Is
more it is not even in sight.
The state has, in fact one of its most
iraportant witnesses, yet in reserve in
the person of w. J. Stage, the Topeka
accountant who has been going over
the companys books. The state ex-
poets to prove by Stage that at the
Schedule of charges fixed by the law
which the company is attempting to
evade. the profits of the business would
reach a legitimate amount. The propo-
sition amounts to that although as it
has been presented before Special Mas
ter Clark, Stages evidence will first be
to show that the company has made
unreasonable dividends, as a result OF
the old scale of prices to which the
management tenaciOusly adheres, with
the hope of defeating the action of the
last legislature in the courts.
The state also expects to show by Mr..
Stages examination that there is an
extensive issue of watered stock, some
where in the history of the concern.
The company'S attorneys evidently
expect startling developments from
Stage as they have already announced
that he will be subjected to very
rigid cross examination by them.
When adjournment was taken Satur-
day to this afternoon at o'clock, At
torney Dana for the company wanted
to know if the state could complete its
which he received came in this response
from Mr.. Boyle:
Yes, Wednesday night; Thursday
night, or some time
The hearing will probably continue
during all of this week.

DEBS COLONIZATION.
California End of the Proposed Indus
trial Colony.

San Francisco, May 31.-There was
an interesting meeting of the Brother
hood of the Cooperative Common
ealth at 418 NcAllister street yester-
day.
The purpose of the organization is to
do everything possible in a legal and
peaceful way to realize some such
scheme as that advocated by Bellamy
and other socialistic writers.
An impetus has lately been given
their movement by the Endorsement Of
Eugene V. Debs, who sees in some such
plan a hope of the emancipation of Ia
Dor from the thralldom of private
greed.
It was agreed in a general way
at yesterdays meeting that the mem
bers are to do all in their power to
prevent religion and politics from en-
tering in any way into the issues dis
hood.
A committee from the local body
stands ready to cooperate with the
national society in a movement to ac-
quire a large territory where the So
cialistic experiment may be fully tried.
1t is probable the start viii be made
in middle Tennessee. which offers a
wide variety of soils and an equable
climate.
If the first colony is located there,
members from all parts of the Union
will be expected to contribute 10 cents
a month to the success of the enter
prise. Departments of manufacture
and distribution will be founded, and a
thorough experiment will be made
along the lines indicated by the pros
pectus of the society.

THE POPE ON EATING.
His Holiness Perpetrates a Poem of
80 Stanzas on the Evils of Gluttony.

London, May 31.-The pope has just
completed a Latin poem, of so stanzas.
pointing out the duties of frugality and
the evil of gluttOny. The poem is full
of charm and quiet humor. His hol1-
ness says: PAY attention before all to
cleanliness, that the table appointments
be spOtIess, the glass bright and napery
Immaculate, and that from the cellar
comes the freshest wine of the Albanian
hills which eXhilarateS the spirit and
keeps away trouble; but don't trust
Bacchus, so don't be frugal in dilut-
ing wine with water"
He continues: obtain from healthy
~ of chicken, lamb and beef, which are
most nourishing to the body. Meat
should be tender and without abundant
sauces or root Vegeta bles, which spoil
it.
Fresh eggs are excellent, whether
raw or slightly cooked Drink an
abundant quantity of fOaming milk; it
Also honey, that CELESTIAL gift, but of
this frugally. Add to these sweet herbs,
fresh vegetables and garden supplies.
Add ripe fruit according to season, es-
pecially tender apples. which with their
pink tints brighten the banquet.
Lastly comes drink, which, in hard
seeds Mocha, sends you a softly sip
ping, black liquor that comforts the
heart
The pope adds that by following these
precepts a man may live to a healthy,
strong and good old age.
The second part of the poem consists
in a graphic description of a banquet
which is largely composed of oysters,
high Spiced venisOn, fOie gras, etc, lat

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
A Committee Of Populists VIII
See the Governor
About the Police Appointments
in LeavenwOrth.
News of the State Per
sona1s and Notes

The row in the Populist ranks at
Leavenworth caused by dissatisfaction
with the police administration, has
, taken new turn, and the warning
faction, having been reinforced by the
country members of the county central
committee, has succeeded in securing
the appointment of a committee which
will come to Topeka this week, tomor-
row probably, and present a petition
and personal demand that the COVER
nor remove Police commissioners Berg
Irleo ana Mcclure, whose only offense
consists in being Democrats.
Governor Leedy has been ANNOYED
by complaints from the Leavenworth
PopulistS since the day the police COM
mission was appointed, the names
thereof Indicating that John H At
wood had been successful in his effort
to dictate the appointments.
Having been clothed with the power
to name the commissioners, Atwood
did exactly what any politician would
do-rewarded members of his own
party. The Democrats Immediately
gobbled all the offices in sight.
The loss of an opportunity to hold an
office has just the same effect upon
Populist as it does upon a Republi-
can.
However, the police commissioners at
LeaVenWOrth will not be changed if the
governor keeps faith with Atwood.
This brief authority was conveyed to
the Democratic orator as a sop for
his disappointment in failing to land
his friend Ed Murphy in the place now
occupied by Webb McNalI
There is no complaint from Leaven-
worth as to the manner in which the
commissioners are running the city.
They are p-to-date in the minds of
the majority of that city and are oper-
ating on the ''wide-open'' plan.
The trouble which the governor will
ignore comes from men, great many
of whom live in the country, and really
have no complaint except that they are
not on the force
That is their idea of a good thing.

J. ]. FRY ELS PLEASED.
General Manager of the Santa Fe
Confident Over Crop Prospects.

Kansas City, May 31-J J. Frey,
general manager Of the Santa F'e Rail-
road company, was at the Coates house
Saturday evening. He had just come
in from q somewhat extended tour of
inspection over the lines of the Cumpa-
ny in Kansas and Oklahoma, and was
feeling e1ated over the outlook every
where.
L have never seen the state of Kan
sas looking more beautiful than she ap
pears today" he said. THE outlook
for the crops is as fine as anyone could
desire. The whole state is blooming
like a garden and the crops are growing
as if they really intended to break all
records. The diversity of crops is ap-
parent even in a haSty trip through the
country. One of the most satisfactory
conditions I found was the general good
feeling of the people. They are in their
old time good humOr. They could hard
~ be otherwise, surrounded as they
are with present conditions and pros
poets so fair. It is enough to make any
one feel encouraged, and it is highly
pleasing to me to find that condition so
prevalent in the state.
Down in Oklahoma. the wheat crop
is practically made and harvesting VA
shortly begin. The acreage is reported
as large and the showing of the crop is
something that delights the eye. The
people there have also e, large acreage
of cotton that promises we'll. They are
all happy and hard at work, and have
strong reason to expect a bountiful
harvest
THE effects of these conditions are
felt by us in our business relations. We
are hauling enormous qualities of ma
chinery down into the country where
the crops are ripening. Evidently the
producers are at this time heavy pur-
chasers. It is indicative of a healthy
condition when the farmers are heavy
purchasers of improved machinery, and
from our freight shipments that is and
has been the case.

pieces a few months since the Santa F'e
bought 500 miles of new steel rails Al
ready about 200 miles have been laid,

Corpse to the Grave on Wheels.

Elizabeth, N. J., May 31.-An inno-
walton in funeral corteges was a bfcy-
Gle funeral procession that was seen
here yesterday. The hearse was be-
ing followed by the mourners, men and
women, on wheels. The funeral was
that of Mrs. Jane Rhea- There were
two carriages and fifteen bicycles. There
were not quite as many women as men
on the bicycles They rode slowly and
silently.
At the church the bicycles were left
in the yard, while the riders listened
to the service. Then began the ride to
Evergreen cemetery Hundreds of per-
sons lined the sidewalks and gazed at
the strange procession until it was out
of sight.

Wichita Eagle Says "Vale''-Leahy
Comes to Topeka

From the Wichita Eagle.
Mr.. David Leahy. who has been con-
neoted with the editorial staff of the Ea-
sic as reporter, legislative correspondent
and all around local writer for the past
six years, sewers his connection with this
issue to take charge of the Kansas City
Times state bureau at Topeka. That
Mr.. Leahy will acceptably fill his new
position goes without saying. Being a
man of liberal education, fine historic
grapher and brilliant writer of great YER
satility warrants such conclusion. These
mental qualifications backed by a magni-
fcent physique and untiring energy, pc
cularly fits him for the discharge of the
duties of any station however onerous.
He leaves US with our best wishes and
those of the entire force for success in
his new but not unfamiliar or untried
field, to which wish will be added the ap-
probations and esteem of thousands of
the Eagles readers. Mr. Leahy is sue

JOEJEFFERSON AWHEEL.
His First Attempt at Riding a Bicy-

Buzzard's Bay, May 31.-When Joe
Jefferson arrived a his summer home
q few weeks ago, he found that all the
villagers had the bicycle craze, and that
the roads round about were just suited
for wheeling. Mr. Jefferson's sons are
expert riders, and the veteran actor
sent to New York for a wheel for him
self.
When the wheel arrived, Jefferson
could hardly wait until ii was unpack-
ed, so eager was he to mount it Lead
road, and on this road Mr. Jefferson
made his first, and probably his last,
attempt to ride. His sons steadied the
wheel while their father tried to steer
the machine. Several times Mr.. JEFF
ferson got the machine under Roadway
but always tOppled Off when left to
ride alone. Repeated attempts to mas
ter the machine were futile. and he be-
came discouraged, gave up the task and
presented the wheel to his oldest son,
Charles.
