QUEEN BOWED AND SMILED.
An Incident of the Passage of the
Festival Queens Pageant

The following letter from working
man reached the State Journal today:
AN unobserved observer witnessed a
very pretty incident during the Frater-
nal parade Monday afternoon which
should not pass unnoticed. Two men
who are employed by the city in the ca
pacity of street cleaners, CHANGED to
stop at the corner of Second and Quincy
streets. They were in their work
clothes leaning against a load of dirt
which they had removed from the
streets The Queen saw them standing
by themselves and bowed graciously
and smiled. They removed their hats in
token of recognition.
Becoming interested at once made
enquiry as to whether they were ac-
quainted with her and found they were
not. 1t was tribute to labor and was
most heartily appreciated.
I also found that one of the men was
the founder of the American Labor I'M
ion and the other an officer in the or
der. Being a stranger in the city
wanted to learn something about the
new order. found it to be composed
almost entirely of working men who
are bound very strongly together. I
rendered my name for initiation and
expect to see a good lodge of the order
at Kansas City before many weeks"

"NVhat Can a poor Girl Dor"

Down at the fair grounds there is a
side show fake which has caught lots
of people. A woman dressed in tights
comes out in front of the tent and the
manager draws a crowd. Several
K. n. G. soldiers went into the show
and afterward concluded that they had
been sold. Accordingly they gathered
other soldiers together and with a force
of about 40 they collected each hand
full of cookie burS.
When the woman in tights emerged
from the tent and stood proudly before
began throwing cookie burs on her.
Soon she was literally covered with
cookie burs, the sharp 'stickers" hav-
ing passed through the thin tights and
stuck into her flesh. She made a haSty
retreat into the tent and sat on her
throne picking off cookie burs. The
first man in heard her story. Those dirty
scoundrels threw cookie burs all over
my tights and If die in the attempt

CHOCOLATE PRICES RAISE.
With this Goes Up the Cost of Con-
fections

New Yor, Sept. 30.-The matinee
girl must ask her father for more mon
ey when she comes down to the thea
tiers hereafter, for candy took a big
jump upward yesterday This was par
ticularly true of her favorites, which
means chocolates.
The confectionery went up 10 cents
per pound. This is the popular candy
among all classes of people and as a
result the demand has been so great
that the price has been forced beyond
it's ordinary point. The dealers had a
suspicion or rather warning that the
price would advance and so the major
ity of the largest candy manufactur-
ers have laid in a stock that will enable
them to take advantage of the advanc-
ed price, which will also effect the re-
tail price of all CONNECTIONS having
chocolate in them.

THE GUARDS ARE HUNGRY.
Complain About the Quality and
Quantity of Their Rations.

The trouble at the military camp over
ratiOnS does not seem to trouble the staff
officers. The line men are complaining
that the food is not supplied promptly
enough and they do not get enough to
appease their hunger. After a or s
mile march in the country over a hot
and dusty road the boys think they
should have enough to eat so that they
would not feel the pangs of hunger be-
fore the next meal.
The staff officers explain the difficulty
by saying that the boys are not used
to camp diet and that although they
are receiving the same allowances as
the regular army they do not thrive on
it because they are not yet used to so
much ''roughness.'' The regular army
have but two meals day on the march
and the officers of the K. N. G.. think
that in that case the militia should get
along on three while in camp. The Of
ficerS' mess is different. There is no
complaint about that

SIX CENTS DAMAGES.
George Gould Recovered From Two
Trespassing Fishermen.

Kingston. N. Y, Sept. 30.-Furlough
Lake on which George Gould's fine
country home is situated, has been de-
clared private property, and jury at
Pine Hill. after hearing a complaint
against Hiram and Aaron Graham. who
fshed in the lake during Mr.. Gould's
absence, brought in a verdict at an ear
Iy hour this morning awarding dam
ages of cents to the New York mil
1ionaire.
The poachers set up the defense that
Furlough Lake before being purchased
by Mr.. Gould was stocked with trout
from the state hatcheries, and that,
therefore the general public had a right
to fish in the lake, despite Mr.. Gould's
warnings. The prosecution met this
argument with proof that to reach the
lake one must trespass on the Gould
property, and the decision of the jury
was based on this ground.

THE Up. AND THEW. U.
There is Much Trouble in Divorcing
the Two Con Germs

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 3o.-Judge Murger
passed today on the application for an
extension of time in which the decree
calling for the separating of the tele-
graph properties of the Union Pacific
and the Western Union should be car
ried out. The order of the court was
that the decree must be complied with
by December 81 next.
The question whether the require
ments made by the government of the
Union Pacific, December 2, to the sue
cessOr of the Union Pacific will proba-
bly, come up on action by the govern
ment against the two companies, seek
ing to require them to show cause why
they are not in contempt for failing to
comply with the decree.
The opinion of the United States at
torney is that the successor of the
Union Pacific must submit to all the
limitations contained in the original
franchise.

SILVER'S DECLINE.
Has Nearly Reached the Lowest
Point on Record.

New York, Sept. 3O-The price of
silver recorded a further loss of u pen
ny to 25d in London and one cent to
5312c in New York. This is within I'D
and 2Ac of the lowest price on record
The decline is in the face of persistent
rumors of a purpose to reopen the In
dina minis to the coinage of silver.
Bullion dealers report that the price
was sustained by short contracts for
September delivery and increased sup
ply of the metal coming forward, and
the expiration of the period of the
short contracts has resulted in the re-
action in price.
