THE THURsToNs' DRILL.

Yesterday was the Thurstons' day.
In the morning on inspection they
were scored for the big prize, and they
stood the finest inspection probably
ever seen in America, all points be-
ing perfect except the shoes, which
were said to be not according to the
regulations.
In the drill contest in the afternoon
they started off with the step trifle
too slow and did not regain the regula-
ton step, 120 to the minute, until near
the close of the program. In the man.
ual, by numbers and without numbers,
they made what is considered per-
feet score. The error about which so
much discussion is elected, occurred
more through the error of the printer
of the program or the judges in making
out the same than by the captain. The
program was numbered from l to 10,
but No. had been omitted and the
judges, noticing this had inserted No.
at the bottom with hand pointing
to- the omission, but they did not call
the captains attention to this and he
drilled his men down to nearly the last
number before the judges stopped him
and called his attention to the omis-
sion. Then he inserted No. and drill
ed the remaining numbers over again.
Another matter discussed by the men
in camp is the Interpretation of the
command form bayonet and swivel
stacks" Capt. Foy says there is no
such command in the tactics, while
the Texas companies are all execut-
ling such comamnd and say they will
drill it.
Another noticeable error yesterday
was the open ranks, when the rear
rank fred.
In the formation of single file the
head of the company broke and the
whole was thrown out. This was not
detected by the grand stand. 1t is also
claimed there were two sergeant err
rors.
Outside of this ii was enc Of the fin

JERRY SIMPSON HOME.
Is Making a Visit to His Farm
of a Few Days.

Newton, June 8-Jerry Simpson
passed through here on his way home
yesterday. Mr.. Simpson said to a re-
porter:
I'm going home for a few days. I
think I shall be there about three or
four days. You see there isn't much
going on in Washington just now. They
still are tinkering with the tariff, and 1
don't know how long they will keep it
up. They only meet two days in the
week, and don't do much then. So you
see, I took advantage of the occasion to
slip away a few days and come home
partly business and partly pleasure"
Here changing the subject of CONVEX
sation, Congressman Simpson said:
THE crops here in Kansas are going
to be great this year. L have observed
see it is more favorable in Kansas than
any other state. The people need the
results of good crop, and they seem in
a fair way to get them
At this juncture John Burns, q, candi-
date for postmaster at Newton, made
his way to the front and said:
Mr.. Simpson, I want to introduce
myself. am John Burns, candidate
for postmaster. Doubtless you have
heard Of me. No? Um-um, how are
you and Tom Reed making it? Had
quite a time a. while back, eh? What
are they doing with the tariff now?
Say, Reed didn't get much the best of
you, did he?"
Jerry only smiled. Just then the
train began to move away and as Simp-
son climbed aboard above the roar of
the train could be heard Burns parting
shots. 1t sounded something like this:
''Well, puff, puff-"take care of
your''-puff, puff-'self, Mr.. Simpson
puff, puff-'Don't forget me"-puff,
puff-"and the pOstoffice."

OPEN sALOONIsTs CAUGHT.
McMahan and Schroeder, Who Started
the Open Bar are Arrested.

Under Sheriff Lucas made a flying
trip to Alma last night and John Nc
Mahan and Louis Schroeder are now in
the Shawnee county Jail under the
guardianship of Sheriff Kepley.
McMahan and Schroeder are the men
who were supposed to be the owners of
the big saloon opened in the Jockheck
building a month ago. Warrants were
sworn out for their arrests but when
Sheriff Kepley's deputies went to the
place to serve them the place was de-
serted. The bar, fixtures and liquor
had all disappeared and likewise the
prOprietOrs.
It was rumored that the men went to
Kansas City but some time ago it was
ascertained that they had returned to
Alma. The temperance committee re-
ceiyed letters from Alma to that effect
and notified the officers. Sheriff KEEP
ley detailed the under sheriff to make
the arrests and he left Topeka on the
midnight train last night.

We're called up, the warrants were read

New York, June 8.-A dispatch to the

A conflict has occurred at Vera Cruz
between 20 marines of the Spanish gun
boat Nueva Espana and Joseph Lang
and Charles Holbrook of Texas, and
about a score of Mexicans who sympa-
thized with Americans. The Texas men
used their knives and the marines their
bayOnets. The MeXicans were not all
armed, but they rendered effective as
Sistance to the Americans.
The trouble was ended only by the
appearance of a large force of police
and a company of a hundred soldiers.
ordered out by the authorities.
The fight was caused by the marines,
who shouted viva Cuba EspanaOIa"
in the streets. This was answered by
cries of Cuba. Libre," from the Ameri-
cans. They were Immediately attacked
by the Spanish and would unquestiOna-
bly, have been killed had it not been for
the assistance of the citizens of Vera
Cruz, who seeing their peril and noting
the fact that they We're so Overwhelm-

sistance The police arrested the whole
party but the cOnsuls of both nations
interfered in their cOuntrymen'S S behalf,
and all were released.

SANTA FE SHOULD ACT.
Too Much Modesty on Part of Its
Blushing Officials.

Mr.. w. Littlefield of the Santa Fe le-
gal department, who was elected as a
member of the Committee of Fifteen
to look after the Santa F7e celebration,
has declined to serve. The reason given
is that the legal department is too busy
for Mr.. Littlefeld to be able to give as
much time to the work as necessary.
President Fellows of the Committee
of Fifteen had an interview with 3. T
Lewis of the general managers office
today, during which he told Mr.. Lewis
that the Santa Fe would have to do
something, and that soon. He said that
1t was not fair for the road to expect
the committee to do everything, when
the company would be directly benefit
ed by the Fall Festival and the pro-
posed Santa F'e celebration.
Mr.. Lewis assured Mr.. Fellows that
the officers of the road were willing to
do all they can to make the proposed
celebration a success. He said that
someone would be found to take up the
work.
The probabilities are that c. w.
Kouns, car service superintendent, will
be given the place on the committee
reserved for a Santa Fe representative.

LAWLESS OHIO.
Mob of Ohio Citizens Open Bridge
Contrary to the Courts Orders.

Defiance. O.. June s-A crowd of $50
citizens, orderly, but determined, held
sway in this city this morning from
midnight until o'clock, during which
time they took the law in their own
hands and, regardless of two injunc-
tions, laid the floor of the Hopkins
street bridge crossing the Auglaire
river.
The bridge had been torn up for 80
days undergoing repairs, but the work
had been stopped by an injunction on
action of the street railway company,
which had been previously enjOined
from using the structure. Yesterday
the circuit court at Findlay sustained
the latter injunction, and the business
men became indignant, determining to
open this important egress to the city.
They congregated quickly, $50 strong.
and, with teams and tools, made their
way to the bridge, and after telling
guards to keep off any possible inter-
ference, were soon busily engaged in
laying and mailing the planks in their
places The noise of the midnight labor
attracted a large crowd, but the deter
mined attitude of the guards prevented
a. collision.

A BIG DIRTY SPLASH
By Man Jumping Six Stories Into
Milwaukee, River

Milwaukee. June SIX. P. Speedy. who
is connected with circus exhibiting here
safely made.a jump from a six-story
building into the Milwaukee river last
evening. The dirty water which is nearly
as foul as the Chicago river, did not as
phyxiate him and he was taken from the
water feeling as well as ever. Mr.. Speedy
was advertised to make a dive from the
top of the Cream City Hat company's
building, a six-story structure, into the
Milwaukee river. The people had been
mislead by a similar announcement a few
days previously. when a dummy was
thrown into the water from the top OF
a building in the same locality, and they
were rather incredulous when it was
stated that live human being would
make the daring plunge. Speedy was on
hand at the time advertised, however, and
when he appeared on top of the building
clad in tights he was greeted by a shout
from the immense crowd which had as
sembled. Two men were stationed in a
boat in the river to pick him up, and
Speedy gave them instructions to clear
way the small pieces of wood floating in
the water. There were only a few pieces
floating in the river, but to have struck
one of them would probably have meant
death.
When everything was clear and the boat
placed in the position the diver wanted
it, he waved his hand at the immense
thrOng of spectators, and withot more
ado sprang into the air and to the water
far below, while the people on the ada
cent bridges held their breath, half ex-
pecting momentarily to behold the
crushed and bleeding body of the daring
plunger reappear above the water. With
a great splash Speedy disappeared, COM
ing up almost instantly to scramble
aboard the boat while the crowd cheered
vociferously, and declared Speedy had
done a wonderful act. In less than three
seconds after he had made the plunge he

Shawnee County's Case Against the
Grave Robbers.

The appeal of the Topeka grave rob-
berry cases is being argued in the court
of appeals today at-the court house.
II is admitted by all who have seen
the brief in the case that Ferry &
Doran, attorneys, for the convicted men
have a strong case. They base their
appeal upon an insufficiency of evidence
on the part of the state. They also
claim that the instructions of the court
and the admissions of evidence by the
court were not warranted.
County Attorney Jetmore appears for
the state and is making hard fight to
prevent a reversal of the case
M E. Lowe and S. A. johnson were
both convicted at the trial of the cases
al Alma and both cases were appealed.
If they are reversed it means aother trial
at Alma and much additional costs for
Shawnee county.
1t also means that the next time
graves are robbed in Shawnee county
fine words will butter no parsnips with
the mob.
