Dead men falling thick as hail.
Step by step the pass disputed.
Blood and life OF no avail!

From the tendril OF vine.
TINY timid birds sat singing.
Where the tossing leaves entwine.
No mere firing, counter firing
But struggle throat to throat.
Pressed behind. yet forced backward
Front and rear alike stocl-smote.
One by one the doomed fragment
OF the troops drew up 10 die.
Form'd a ring close wcdg'd together
Underneath the azure sky
Rutchered each like sheep in slaughter.

Moving down the shattered remnant,

BAD FOR SHOE MEN.
FailuresAmong Manufacturers Owing
to L ather Trust Manipulations.

New York, Oct 2-The manufactur-
ers of cheap shoes are having a hard
time just now to keep their heads above
water.
In the last three weeks many. of them
have been driven to the wall. 1t is said
that the situation is due in a large part
to the sole leather trust.
Geo. J. Axis shoe factory at Spring
Valley, which has been running for 20
years, closed it's doors on Tuesday
Charles Fritz of Folk 6, Fritz, said
today that his firm had been obliged to
foreclOse a mortgage they had held on
Mr.. Axis place.
He owes us about $3,000" he said.
when the price of leather went up
three or four weeks ago he couldn' t
stand the strain. He found that he had
to pay about Is per cent more for sole
leather than before. The United States
Leather company controls the sole
leather market of the country. This
trust has been putting up the price
right along lately. The price on sole
leather has increased about Is per cent
The result is that manufacturers of
cheap shoes are being forced to shut
down.
The result of the trusts action in
raising the price on sole leather to such
an extent must be that there will be a
big increase in the price of shoes sooner
or later
H. w. Bishop & Co. of Chautauqua,
N Y, are now in the hands of re
ceiver, and Charles Joyce of Nyack was
obliged to shut down. Bishop q Co.
turned out 1000 pairs of shoes day
and Joyce about 2, 800.

FIRES HAVE STARTED.
And the Usual Destruction of Prop
cry is Looked for in the
Northern States

Chicago, Oct. 2-Suburban towns to
the west of Chicago are in danger of
fires Little or no rain has fallen for
several weeks and the tall prairie grass
is dry to it's very roots and infiammable
as finder. If prairie fire should
spring up in the immense fields that
encompass BerWin, Clyde Park, Lyons,
Riverside and the other villages that
dot this district the danger of an eX-
tensive confiagratiOn would be great.
Facilities for fighting flames in that
district are meagre.
Huntington, Ind, Oct. 2.-Forest fires
in the south part of this township are
doing great damage. The timber and
meadows are so dry that the fires burn
with great rapidity and cover large
areas of ground in a short time. Fires
have been raging fiercely for three
days in the forest and there appears
no way of checking them. Crowds of far
mers are out with plOWS tearing up the
ground around farm houses and build
ings to prevent the fires from reaching
and destroying them. The dense
smoke that rises from the forest fires
is almost unbearable.
KenOsha, Wis, Oct. 2.-KenOsha
county is in danger of being burned out
unless rain falls soon. Extensive prai-
RE fires have been raging for the past
two days in the town of SOmers. Large
quantities of hay and other materials
have been destroyed while acres of
corn, stubbles and fences have been
burned. The progress of the flames

BIG LAND SWINDLE.
Thousands of Fictitious Acres Sold to
the Innocents.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. with
in the past so days hundreds of deeds
have been recorded in Mcdowell county
covering many thousands of acres of
land-the considerations aggregating
hundreds of thousands of dollars, all of
which are believed to be fraudulent.
There is now on the land book deeds
for over 1000, 900 acres of land, when in
fact the county contains but $4,000 acres
all told.
1t is believed thata gigantic scheme of
fraud is being perpetrated in the large
eastern and western cities by a gang
of sWindlers who prepare a deed for a
certain tract, generally coal land, have
it acknowledged before a fictitious no
tary public in some far off state, send
it to the county clerk of Mcdowell
county for record, directing the clerk to
send in return certified copies of the
same, taken direct from the record book
This puts the swindlers in a position
to sell the property and apparently
give the purchaser a clear title.
Nearly every week strangers arrive
at the county seat with deeds for thou
sands of acres of land, which show all
straight on record, but can not be To-
Gated outside of the book.
New York city, Philadelphia, Boston,
Baltimore and Washington appear to
be getting the largest share of the bust
ness in the east, while the western sec
ton is being worked in scattering
manner as far west as Nevada.
There is no law in this state covering
these fraudulent transactions.

roPEKA's SECOND FESTIVAL.

Today marked the close of what
has been, taking it all together, per
haps, the most successful and enjoyable
series of entertainments ever offered
to the public in this part of the United
States.
This is no boast. Many peoplewho
have seen pageants similar in character
to those presented this week are ready
to testify that they never saw the pa
rade of Wednesday or that of Thurs
day equalled anywhere.
There have been pageants arranged
for one day and to carry out one idea,
which have made famous the cities
presenting them. But it can be assert
ed without fear of contradiction that
never before have so many and so var
led features been presented in the same
space Of time and so uniform a degree
of excellence.
People from a distance who have ia
ken advantage of Topeka's effort to
entertain them can hardly have any
proper idea OF the amount of time,
money and labor expended. The
amount of patriotic devotion to civic
pride and the self-sacrifce on the part
of Topeka's citizens necessary to pro-
duce the weeks entertainment cannot
be estimated. Their efforts have been
crowned with success, the people came
and were pleased and Topeka is salts
fed.
In addition to the thousands of dol
lars expended by the various commit
tees other thousands were spent in
decorations and costumes by the citi-
zens individually.
orations by the citizens individually
no the fraternal societies, the fremen,
the military and the musical organiza-
tons from abroad who contributed so
literally to the success of the week
Topeka must ever feel grateful.
To the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway officials and employees too much
credit cannot be accorded, not only for
their assistance in furnishing the great
est parade of the week, but for help all
along the line.
OF the thousands of Topeka citizens
who have contributed time and money
it can be said, they have done their
duty nObly, many of them their own
duty and their neighbours. Their re-
ward will come to them in future mem
cries and in Witnessing the growth and
progress of the city.
In addition to this viii come the feel
ing that they have been dischargfng a
debt. The people of Kansas, through
their representatives have been liberal
in the expenditure of public money in
the capital city; so also has the Santa
Fe railroad. Topeka has been en-
able to show the appreciation of both

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
OF Public Enterprises Favored by Ez
President Harrison.

New York, Oct. 2-Former President
Benjamin Harrison. is quoted in an in
terview on municipal politics in the
World as saying:
of special Importance are the safe
guards to be thrown about the granting
of franchises to the promoters of great
schemes for the public service. In this
respect there are valuable lessons to be
learned from late foreign experiments.
Some of the principal cities of Scotland
have assumed each the control of its
street railway systems and in its light
ing plants as we'll as its waterwOrks
The results of this public ownership of
great public enterprises have been eX-
ceedingly satisfactory and instructive.
I am inclined to consider municipal
ownership as the best means to secure
the people the cheapest and best ser
vice.
of course. the effects of competition
between private enterprises are not to
be lost sight of as far as they increase
quality and lower price. But the US
