THE HOPE STARTS.
Peery Will Sail for the Fole Next
Week.

Boston, July 8.-Lieutenant Robert E.
Peary's chartered steamer, Hope, left
St. Johns, N. F., today for this port, ac-
cording to- advices received here. The
Hope will probably arrive here next
Tuesday or Wednesday and start north
with the Peary expedition probably not
later than the following Friday. She
will sail direct for Sydney and there
take on coal for the long cruise to
Greenland and Lieutenant Peary will
return with his party in time for several
members of the expedition to return to
the colleges, under the direction of R.
w. Porter
When Lieutenant p airy calls at Bafhn
land between September and Is on his
return from the north, all of Mr.. Por-
ter's party will sail home on the Hope,
except Mr. Porter and his comrade, AL
fred V. Shaw of Newton. The latter
will spend the winter in Baffin land and
will not return to civilization for 16
months.
Mr.. Porter has already enrolled in his
party seevn men including himself and
Mr.. Shaw. He does not expect to take
more than eight, as a greater number
would be hard to manage and provide
for.
The other members of the Baffin land
expedition are DR.. Delano Fitzgerald,
a Baltimore physician and his son,
Charles, who is a Harvard student in
the class of 1900; w. A. Bota1 of Chicago
who is also a Harvard student; F. G.
Goodrich, New York, a graduate this
year at Harvard and J. Nelson Carpen-
ter New Brunswick, N. J., a. member of
this years class in Rutgers college.

INJUNCTIONS A FAILURE.
Jointists Pay No Attention to Them
Because of the New Law.

Another injunction against a jointist
was filed today and served on George Du-
pree, who has place at Tenth and Kan
sas avenue and H. H. Parker, who owns
the building.
keepers have paid little attention to the
injunctions and a Journal reporter asked
County Attorney Jetmore why they care
so little for the injunction.
TT is all the fault of the law passed by
the last legislature said Mr.. Jetmore.
Before then under the law g jointist
could be thrown into Jail for contempt of
court if he sold liquor after the injunc-
ton was served. Now it is different. In
contempt cases of this kind in which the
contempt is not committed in the pres
titled to trial by jury. 1t may not have
been the intention of the legislature to
have the law apply to cases of this kind
but it does because it is general.
IF the jointist goes selling liquor
after he has been enjoined he can be ar
rested, but his trial would be the same as
for selling liquor and he is evidently
willing to take the chances. 1 should
think that the owners of the buildings
are as a rule, men who would not care to
get into court
The efforts of the temperance commit
tee to stop sales of liquor by injunction
are consequently thwarted. 1t is no use
to enjoin a jointist if he can not be i'm
prisoned for contempt.

MISS DINGLEY WAS TICKLE
Leaves Her Engaged Lover at the
Last Moment to Marry
Another Man

Chicago. July ga special to the
Tribune from Auburn, N. Y, says:
Lewiston and Auburn are surprised
over the announcement of the marriage
of Miss Lou Dingley, daughter of Jerre
Dingley of Auburn and niece of Con-
gresham Dingley. Miss Dingley is
about go. She was married to w. E.
Hadley of San Diego, Cal, at the Par
ker House in Boston last Thursday. 1t
has been understood generally in Lew
iston and Auburn that Miss Dingley
was to marry Arthur S. Melcher of Au-
burn. Arrangements had gone so far
that Mr.. Melcher had his home entirely
renovated.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Hadley came
east. Miss Dingley had met Mr.. Had
ley six years ago when he was stop
ping at Portland Springs and when he
visited Kicker Hill this summer the ac-
quaintapce was renewed. 1t ripened
into a determination to wed. Miss
Dingley's departure for Boston without
apparent cause aroused the suspicious
of her parents and of Mr.. MelcheF, for
on the afternoon of the day Miss Ding
ley went away her mother and Mr.. Mel
cher left for Boston, but returned sew
eral days afterward without her. Mr.
Melcher admitted today that Miss Ding
ley had been engaged to marry him for
some time.

FRANCE WILL HELP Us.
She Sends a Commission to London
to Back Up Wolcott

New York, July S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The three special ENJOYS empowered
by the United States to negotiate with
European powers for settlement of
the silver question on international
lines will have two embassies behind
them in place of one. They produced so
good an impression upon the French
government during their stay in Paris
that the French embassy in London has
been instructed to cooperate with the
American embassy in such conferences
and negotiations as may be conducted
with the British government 1t has
been known that NJ. Meline and the
French ministry were outSpoken in ex-
pressing their sympathy for the objects
of their mission and in promising that
their concurrence would not be want
ing for the triumph of the cause of ra-
tiona1 bimetallism on international lines.
but it has not been suspected that the
French government would be prepared
to lend diplomatic as well as moral
support to this movement of the Nc
Kinley administration in favor of BIZ
metalliSm.
1t is nevertheless true that these en-
voys in this negotiation with the for
eign office and the chancellor of the
exchequer will have the hearty coop
Grafton of the French and American
embassies.
Ambassador Hay has been arduously
at work on the same lines ever since
his arrival in London, and his prestige
and influence are now of the greatest
possible service in facilitating the work
of the ENJOYS, who are likely to remain
here several weeks before returning to
Paris.
What was originally an effort on the
part of the Mckinley administration to
carry out the pledges of the Republic
can platform respecting bimetallism
grounded upon international agree
ment has become already a joint move
ment on the part of the United States
and France to bring about a settlement
of ho of a fhFnl1Oh
action of a new conference. France is
the natural ally of the United States in
this movement, because she has a
greater interest than any other Euro
pean state in bimetallism. The Bank
of France contains in it's vaults over
$255, 900 600 in silver which has been
Withdrawn from circulation. Both gov
ernments have a common interest in
obtaining the adjustment of this none
tary question which has caused a dis
turbance throughout the commercial
world, and they are naturally support
ing each other in the negotiations now

DEPEND ON JUDGE HAZEN.
A Jointist Says He Will Throw Joint
Cases Out of Court.

The complaints for the joint raids
yesterday were sworn to by man NAM
ed White, who has been working under
instructions from the temperance COM
mittee. A prominent jointist of Topeka
said:
you will see that when those cases
come to trial in the district court they
will be thrown out or beaten. The COM
plants were sworn to by a spotter, and
Judge Hazen has expressed himself as
to the competency of spoilers. These
arrests by the county that kind of
information don't amount to a row of
beans. Well beat them when the time
comes. You probably notice that the
most of US have friends who put up
bonds for u.s.
Another jointist who pays the license
to the police department for the pri-
vilege of running a joint said:
I'VE just keep a lawyer employed all
the time and when the cases go to the
district court the spotter evidence don't
go. Then we pay our lawyer and the
stuff is off. See?"
Jointists are seen at the police station
often comforting with Chief Steele. They
make it sort of headquarters for in
fOl nation.

WICHITA POLICE RECORD.
Present Board Turns In to the City
500 for June Above Expenses.

The Wichita Eagle says: The police
commission of Wichita not only believe
in the policy that a city should be self
sustaining, but that a balance on the
credit side of the ledger is what the av-
erage taxpayer likes. as it is the popu-
lar thing, whether the contrast proves
either pleasant or explanatory of the
Governor Morrill, regime.
The board has squared up the police
and other expenses for the month. of
June and turned in $500 to the city
treasurer, net, which will doubt
cause a broad smile among the city
fathers, especially as considerable ex-
ira work is being done by the street
force. In three months the present
board has turned into the city treasury
net. 81, $50, with comfortable balance
still remaining in the hands of the pO-
lice commissioners. Both honesty and
efficiency are indicated by this show
ing, the two highest concentrations
possible to public officials, and for which
they are entitled to the thanks of at
least all those who must help bear the
expense of municipal government.

THEY SAY emo, THANK YOU"
Silver Republicans Don't Want to
Vote at the Republican Primary.

The Silver Republican central COM
mittee has taken a hand in the trouble
over the eligibility of Republicans who
voted for Bryan to vote at the Repub-
lican primary next Saturday.
The regular Republican central COM
nittee passed a resolution to keep them
from participating in the primary, but
since then some of the level-headed and
prominent members of the party have
made attempts to cOnciliete the Bryan
Republicans by arranging for an abro-
cation of the rule adopted by the cen
trail committee
Now the Silver Republican leaders
come forward and urge their people not
to participate in the primary or to at
tempt to do SO. They have issued the
following address:
To the Free Silver Republicans of
Shawnee County:
Our gold standard friends and others
are becoming greatly exercised over the
position of the free silver Republicans
of this county.
For the purpose of getting our friends
to compromise themselves an effort is
making to get some of them to take
part in the primaries of next Satur
day.
While a county convention is of COM
paratiVely little importance we must
stay in line for future victories over the
financial policy that is prolific in pro-
ducing only milIionaires and tramps-
Our county central committee will
meet in regular session on the oath, and
they propose to take a part in the fight.
and hope to act with other free silver
parties, and we are justified in saying
that all good citizens who honestly
stood on the financial plank of the plat
sas prior to 1886, and who are still loyal
to their convictions, are asked to join
and act with US.
In the meantime our ADVICE is, stay
out of all primaries. Remain as indie
pendent in the future as you have
| in the past.

was silver on his place and now he is
proceeding to find out at his own ex-
