UNCLE SAM TO BUY
Twenty five Thousand Dollars Worth
of Topeka Real Estate.

Congressman Charles Curtis, who ar
rived last night from Washington, told
a Journal reporter today that a special
government commissioner will be here
next week to approve the purchase of
two lots adjacent to the government
building on the north.
The lots belong to Col. George W.
Veale and Mrs. M. c. Hammatt. Col.
Veale will receive $3.50 for his build
Ing and Mrs. Hamnaast 1000 for hers.
This is according to an agreement be-
tween the parties made and forwarded
to Mr.. Curtis. There is little doubt
that the action will be approved by the
commissioner and the deal closed.
In discussing the proposed enlarge
ment of the government building, Mr..
Curtis said:
Il secured an appropriation of $685.
coo. The senate allowed me 100000 but
the house cut it down. 1t was fortu-
nate that I secured anything because
there was an understanding that no
bills for government buildings should
be passed. 1 was finally allowed enough
for the purchase of the site, and 1 am
satisfied that 1 can get an appropria-
ton from the next congress of $75,-
900 to enlarge the present building.
1T may be that nothing at all will
be done with these buildings to be pur-
chased, but it is the plan to fit up the
Veale building for offices for the land
flee. There is $4,000 left for that pur-
pose, but 1 do not know what will be
DONE 1t is my opinion that it is hard
ly worth while to do anything until the
other appropriation to extend the fed
eral building is made.

Chicago, July 28.-The Industrial
World tomorrow will say: Agricultural
implement manufacturers are rushing
orders for material The season is pro-
tracted and makers find stocks on hand
insufficient. By way of illustration, a
local manufacturer several days ago re-
ceiVed an order for one thousand wag-
ons. There were not in his shops and
he found difficulty in securing the iron
to construct them. Railroads are begin
ming to make some inquiries. In var
iouS directions demand is improving

time from eight to nine hours, and sew

DOES 1T MEAN THIS?
London Chronicles View of the Resig-
nation of President Andrews

London, July 2S-The Daily Chronicle this
morning devotes editorial article to
the dismissal of z. Benjamin Andrews
from the presidency of Brown university.
which action it regards the most SER
ious blow the capitalist oligarchy has yet
struck at social, economic and intellectual
liberty in America.
The Chronicle says: '"There is no doubt
that, like Professor Bemis, who was dis
missed from the University of Chicago.
President Andrews was dismissed because
he warned his countrymen against the
great mOnOpolies. 1t seems certain that a
conflict is approaching that will shake the
union as it was shaken by the great slav-
cry question. 1t looks as though the
splendid millionaire endowments of
American universities had the unworthy
motive of the promotion of the interests
of the monopolists. We anticipate
great wave of opinion against the pre-
tension of the monopohst class as danger
Gus to freedom. This movement will lead
to the substitution of public for private
control and ownership of the big trusts
and monopolies and the substitution of
state for private colleges and universi-
ties

BOOTH-TUCkER'S COLONY.
Desires to Establish Families on
Small Plats of Ground.

Chicago. July 2S-Commander Booth
Tucker of the Salvation Army who has
recently returned from an extensive trip
in the west during which he examined
a number of tracts of land believed to
be specially suitable for colonization
purposes has gained new enthusiasm
in his purpose of founding settlements
for the poor. He said:
Il do not know yet where the colony
will be located which we hope to found
but it may be in the vicinity of Pueblo
or Albuquerque. There is plenty of good
land which has popularity attractive
features of climate, fertility, markets
and irrigation facilities. The plan is to
establish families on small plats of
ground along the roadway leading into
the city, these plats to be of one and
two acres, near the city, and growing in
size to five and ten acres at greater dis
tances, the idea being that the smaller
farms near the city will be taken by
men employed in various occupations
who will return home in the evening to
work in the soil of their little felds.''

SHERMAN WILL QUIT.
Will Retire From the Cabinet October
to be Succeeded by White
law Reid.

Washington, July 2S.-The report is
again received that John Sherman will
shortly resign as secretary of state and
that Whitelaw Reid will be appointed
his successor.
Mr.. Sherman was very much dissatis-
fed with the selection of Judge Day as
first assistant secretary of state and
was humiliated at the reasons assigned
by the president for Judge Days selec-
ton. With a frankness as brutal as it
was uncommon, the agents and officials
of the administration announced that
Judge Day had been chosen to do the
active work of the department and to
conduct the negotiations looking to the
settlement of important foreign compH-
cations.
This talk reached Mr.. Sherman's ears
and he waited upon the president and
asked him to accept the resignation.
He called at the White House the day
he left the city last week and again ten
dered his resignation. The president
then again refused to accept it, but Mr..
Sherman announced that he was deter
mined to sever his connection with the
state department. However, at the
special request of the president he
finally agreed to hold his resignation in
allegiance until the middle of October.

MEDICINE LODGE COMING.
Santa Fe Employees There are to Have
Float.

Medicine Lodge will be represented in
the Santa Fe anniversary celebration
by a float illustrative of the early life
of that once famous Indian meeting
place. The agent at that point has
written Mr.. w. J. Healy, secretary of
the executive committee, informing him
that the Santa Fe employees at that
point mean to place such a display in
the celebration procession.
All over the state the Santa Fe cele-
bratiOn is now going forward with a
rush. The opinions of the employees in
reference to displays are being obtained
by means of letter ballot, and in a short
time definite plans can be drawn up.
There is q probability that the number
of floats in the celebration parade will
be in the neighborhOOd of fifty, the
employees of the shops and offices in this
city contributing 25 and the remainder
coming in to Topeka from different
points in the state.
1t is probable that the lodges of the
different railroad orders will combine
in raising funds, and each order be rep
resented in the parade by one hand
Somely arranged float.

STEAMBOAT WARI
STEAMBOAT WARIi
Bring your bathing suit and a

1 cent for round trip on excursion
boats. Big reduction in transpor-
tation charges.


Fearing bloodshed, Policeman Richards
called on half a dozen South Park police
men, and they were stationed on the deck
ready for an emergency.
The spirit of rivalry approached close 70
the boiling point, but the presence of the
stars kept the wrangling cappers from
fighting. People We're carried almost by
main force to the gangways of the boats.
Beer bottles were suspended from the
decks of the boats to attract the thirsty
and many of the spectators who could
not stand the allurement of the cries of
the cappers took a lake excursion against
their will.
In the evening moonlight excursions
were given, with no end to the crowds
and the rivalry and nothing to pay. The
supply of beer seemed to be inexhaustible-
More interesting developments are prom
ised for tomorrow, when, it is asserted,
money will be offered passengers who
have not made up their minds which line
they will favor.

WOMEN FOR KLONDIKE.
Two are Booked From Chicago and
Others Will Go at the First Chance.

Chicago, July 28.-At the railroad and
steamship offices the same eagerness for
informa ton about the passage to the
Klondike gold fields was shown that
characterized the rush of INQUIRIES a
week ago.
There is no aba tement of interest in
anything pertaining directly or indirect
ly to the new Ell Dorado. Not less than
average of 1000 persons a day have
called at the offices OF the North Amer
lean Transportation and Trading COM
pany. Thomas Cook & Son, the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northwestern
railways.
The number of earnest inquirers yes
terday exceeded those of Monday. At
Cooks agency the quota for the expe-
ditiOn under the management of VIM
Chase was filled at an early hour and
the negotia tions were Immediately be-
gun by wire for second steamship
from San Francisco to st. Michaels.
Meantime so men who. could not get
berths on the first steam are waiting
for the result of the negOtia tiOns. Some
of them in their anxiety to reach Klon-
dixie this season offered to sleep on the
ca bin floor and be satisfied with the
poorest that could be offered them in
the way of accommodations. The best
that could be done was to put their ap-
plications on file.
At the North American company's
office the same story of crowds in the
office from morning till night was re-
pea ted. While the two Northern Trans
continental l1neS DOOk SOId seekers from
Seattle to St. Michaels by the steamer
Portland, sailing September 1, they
work principally for the steamships ply
ing between Seattle, Juneau and Dyea.
About $50 men have been booked by the
Juneau route.
When the mining party booked at
Thomas Cook & Sons leaves Chicago,
at least two Chicago women will go
along. The first of these is Mrs. VIM.
Chase, wife of the manager of the ex-
pedition, and she will undertake the
arduous trip for the sake of love. The
desire for gold and generous fortune
will induce the other, Mrs. Katherine
V. ROmley, to do likewise. Both de-
clare themselves quite eager for the
journey and the novel experiences at
tending it.
Other women who are soon to leave
Chicago for Alaska are Miss Pauline
Kellogg of West Congress street and
Mrs. c. w. Romney of Windsor Park.
Seven other women will, it is said, ac-
company the Chase party, but their
names could not be learned, and as they
have not yet purchased tickets their de-
parture is not certain.

In spite of the number of cappers doing
duty for the trio of boats that faunt the
Newman pennant, the big red letters
above the pilot house of the Chief Justice
Waite were attractive and the crowd
swarmed over the side-wheeler's bull
warks and through the gangways. Mana
ger Newman hastily employed a dozen
deckhands to improvise banner, and this
is what appeared above the smokestack
of the Ivanhoe in large, rough letters:
Bathing. suits and rooms at the Beach
free.
Men may use cabin to put on costumes
and crack swimmers will be permitted to
dive from the pilot house.
Sandwiches. cigars beer, ginger ale,
root beer and castor oil. all free.
All sorts of inducements were tried to
attract passengers from the Gordon to the
Chief Justice Waite. Lovers of hop bev-
erages visited both boats and sampled
what the managers provided.
Circus wagons were chartered by the
owners of the boats and sent through the
streets in the downtown district. Bands
rendered music from behind huge signs.

Manhattan, Kan, July q, 1897.
To the Editor of The State Journal:
I received letter yesterday from Hon.
relative to the report which has been go
ing the rounds of the press that the tenn
porary cessation of Mr.. NJ. A. Carleton's S
work upon college land meant the with
holding of government support from the
experiment station, with which MI
Carleton was not connected.
Secretary Wilson says:
"It is not a fact that we have with
tion in Kansas, nor have we ever thought
of doing it. 1 recognize that the people of
Kansas have perfect right to make such
a faculty they see fit. The only justi-
fication that we would have in recon-
mending to the proper official that the
money be withheld would be the devotion
of it to uses not intended by law. I have
no evidence whatever that any such
of the money has been made. L may say
further that we do not look into the
faculties of the states as far as our re-
lations with them are concerned. Kansas
has a perfect right to adopt whatever po-
litical ideas she may see fit, be it RepubH-
can, Democratic or Populist. So long
the money appropriated by congress is
used along the lines intended. the indorse-
rneflt or this department will be cheer
fully given.''
I trust this matter will be used as news.
Yours truly, ]. D. GRAHAM
Secretary.
