BATEMAN HAS QUIT.
Says He Will Drop the Forgery Mat
ter


Lewiston, Ne, June 24-The speech
of Senator Allen in the United States
senate yesterday denying Prof. Bate
mans charges against Mr.. Bryan and
Bryan's explanation a s to why he print
ed Bateman's name to Aliens letter of
notifica ton in the last campaign, have
attracted wide attention in those cities
where Bateman is well known.
To the Associated Press Mr. Bateman
said: Mr.. Bryan says that he took
my name from the newspapers and adj
ded it to all his letters of notificat ton.
This is decidedly rich and a unique
method of writing history. It would
have cost him only a two cent stamp
to have found out that I did not sign
the letter and that I had promptly re-
pUdiated the sentiments which it con-
tanned. 1 shall not strain myself to
furnish Mr.. Bryan any further proof.
The forgery of a name to the letter lies
between Mr.. Bryan and MIR. Allen and
they can settle the matter to suit them
selves. Senator Aliens TRADE in the
senate yesterday is renewed proof that
only the wounded bird flutters. The
lawyer who has bad case usually
abuses the opposing counsel. 1 shall
not retOrt in similar language. I have
arraignment of myself and therefore do
Quite likely he denies everything in
sight. 1t is most as easy work as to
deny in fragments. The senator is an
old hand al that business and it strains
neither his conscience nor his conStitJI-
ton. I trust that they may have an
other field day in the senate over the
matter"

BULLET LOCATED.
Prof Blake Locates a Bullet in the
Neck of Bradley Gordon, of Win
field, With x Rays.

Winfield, June 24-Several months ago
Bradley Gordon, a young man living
east of town, was accidentally shot in
the neck with a % caliDer revolver, the
bullet entering the neck at the front of
the right side. 1t did not go through
and it's exact location was never dis
covered, although every effort to locate
it was made. DR. Pugh, the attending
physician, decided to take advantage of
Prof BIake's presence and try the eff
ficacy of the X-rays.
A sl1yograph was taken from the side
of the neck at which the bullet entered,
and although the test was very unsatis-
factory. the bullet was located not far
from the surface on the opposite side.
A test like this to prove satisfactory
requires an exposition of about five
minutes, but two tubes, the last he had
were broken in the attempt after only
about 189 seconds. Dresser developed
the picture and although not as clear
as was desired, the bullet is clearly dis
cerna BILE in the picture.

IT COSTS AWFULLY
To Bring the Militia Here at the
CitY's EXPENSE.


It has been decided that at least a
part of the Kansas National Guard will
be brought to Topeka during the Fall
Festival. What part or how many of
the guard is a question the committee
has not yet decided. Major Anderson
has secured an estimate of the cost OF
paying the expenses of the entire guard
during the week and he places it at
81, 900.
The committee does not feel like max
ing so large an expenditure for that
feature and at the meeting tonight &C
ton will probably be taken outlining
what can be done.
Major Anderson saws that it will be
necessary to bring the state troops here
in. order to secure the regulars. The
movement to secure the regulars was
started some time ago by Major Ander-
son. Congressman Curtis and Senator
Baker Will be expected to use their in
f1uence and Governor Leedy has al
ready made a formal request for the
troops. Major Anderson says he feels
confident that there will be as large or
larger encampment of regulars during
the Festival as there was last year.
1t will scarcely be worth while, how
ever, to pay to bring the militia here,
unless the regulars can be secured.
Leavenworth has already been promis-
ed the regulars from Fort Riley for the
week beginning October Is. Topeka
should make sure of this matter before
going ahead. Four thousand dollars
would pay for q procession of floats
equal to the Priests of PallaS parade.
1t would illuminate the streets beyond
the dreams of the most enthusiastic.

The National Co1ored Young Peoples
Baptist union is in session in Topeka

The sessions are being held in the B

The union is supposed to include the
whole United States but the representa-

D. White of Atlanta, but the MISSISSIPPI

DEBS WILL MOVE SLOWLY.
It May be Year Before the Colonial
ton is Begun.

Chicago, June 24.-Eugene v. Debs
has gone to his home in Indiana He
will remain away ten days and then
return to resume the work of organ
izing the Social Democracy.
The impression has gone abroad that
the movement in which the recent or
ganizatiOn was formed is to start off
at once Mr.. DebS, Mr. Burns and
others of the leaders of the new com
monwealth say a false idea has been
given. 1t may be a year before the Ell
dorado is chosen and the colonization
IS actually begun. Those foremost in
the plan realize that there is much to
be done and that care and deliberatiOn
are to be exercised in beginning the
actual colonization.
Everyone connected with the cOIoniz-
alton scheme is satisfied with the re-
suits thus far accomplished. A con-
trast has been drawn between the con-
VentiOn of the American Railway union
in 1894 and that of a week ago in
Uhlich's hall Three years ago, at the
time the strike was ordered which Mr..
DebS fought in the convention, there
were more than 400 delegates. At the
convention last week about 100 were
present. The leaders say that the IS
actual delegates to the Uhlich'S hall
convention represented men who had
lost absolutely all regard for the black
list. Hundreds Of communications

risk their means of livelihood by ap-
pearing in a public convention.

front, the delegates escorted the leader

Chicago, Ill, June 24.-Robert Fergus.

death.
Partial deafness was one of his af1ic-

BEES IN THE DEATH ROOM.
W orkmen Tearing Down Historic
Walls Almost Killed by Bees.


Walls Almost Killed by Bees.
New York, June 24-The village of
Portchester, on the Sound, was startled
a few days ago by the news that the
old Mead homestead at Quaker Ridge
was to go into the hands of builders
and be repaired and improved.
THE death room is to be opened"
That was the word that was passed
along. For the first time in a hundred
years the chamber in which Seth Mead,
soldier of the Revolution, was shot by
the British in the presence of his wife
and children, and which mad been sealed
up by order OF the widow, was to be
opened to the light of day, for the west
wall of the old stone and wood build
ing was to come down that new walls
might take it's place.
The old people shook their heads. To
some it seemed like sacrilege. 1t was
like the opening of a grave.
NO good will come of it, see if it
does,'' said one old inhabitant And the
people waited to see what would turn
up.
The work began Saturday morning.
Eleven labOrerS began to tear down the
west side of the house. They were
careless, ignorant fellows, who did not
know anything about the death room
or the historical interest attached to the
ancient homestead.
They went to work with a will, rip
ping off the sideboards, when suddenly
as a swarm of angry bees came pour
ing out through the opening to see what
was the matter.
The workmen, eight in number, were
standing on a ScaffOld thirty feet from
the ground. They began to climb down
the ladder, but the angry bees pursued
them, singing them about the face and
hands, wherever there was a place to
sting.
Screaming with pain, John Feigs
jumped to the ground, but a swarm of
bees bounced down upon him. He
sprained his ankle so badly that ne
could not get up and the little enemies
almost stung him to death before he
could be rescued.
Tony Spierri also jumped after he had
been so badly stung about the face and
eyes that he is in danger of losing his
sight.
The workmen built a large fire yester-
day to windward of the house AS
the smoke drifted through the apertures
lures into the death room" the winged
inha bitants who had lived there I'M
suspected for many years took the hint
and flew away, angrily escorting their
queen to a place of safety. The work
men then entered the room and found
more than 300 pounds of honey stored
there.
When the old inhabitants of Port
chester heard of the mishaps of the
vandals they only shook their heads
and said, L told you So Among the
SuperStitiOus there is a belief that fur
Their disaster will follow if the sacred
chamber is further disturbed

PUT RUCKER RACK.
Police Board Puts the Negro Gunplay
Police on Again.

The Topeka board of police commits
sioners has re-appointed J. c. Rucker, the
colored ex-policeman who was discharged
for killing J. C. Eddy's shepherd dog on
Kansas avenue between Eighth and Ninth
streets several weeks ago. Several let
tiers were presented the police board ask
ing that Rucker be re-appointed. and the
board promptly placed the colored man
on the pay roll as a patrOlman- Rucker
lives in the Fifth ward and has been
prominent as ward WORKER in political
campaigns. When suspended for firing
his pistol indiscriminateIy on Kansas
avenue, the police board met and con-
sidered the case. The result was that
Rucker was discharged summarily-
Patrolman Rucker is now on night duty
in South Topeka.
1t is safe to say that the antics of the
present police board have already lost
the Populist party 1000 votes in Topeka.
