There is more than one kind of "cam-
paign of educatiOn,' and the one now be-
ing conducted by r. II. Beeman, "A repre-
sentative of the Standard Oil people, is
calculated to dispel much of the unreal
soning fear many householders have Of
using gasoline. Mr. Brennan showed by
experiments in local hardware stores on
Monday and Tuesday last that gasoline
did not eXplode-the gas arising from it
simply burns. If it is spilled on the floor
there is no occasion for alarm-let it
burn. If the gas arising from an open
can takes fire, simply cut off the gas with
a card or plate or anything handy that
will shut out the air. Don't throw your
stove out dOOrs-cut off the gas and let
the rest burn out. Gasoline won't ex-
plode.

As previously announced in this paper,
the trustees have determined to eXpend
large sum of money during the present
summer in extending the concrete walks
which have been laid during the past
two years. Where the walks have been
laid in front of the houses, the owners of
the adjacent property have usually paid
one-half of the costs of laying the same.
The trustees, in the location of the walks
laid this summer, will be governed
largely by the willingness of the people
in front Of whose houses the walks are
laid to contribute towards the expense.
They have not determined as yet where
to lay the walks. Any persons desiring
walks laid in front of their premises,
who are willing to comply with this con-
dition, should consult with the trustees.
They will be glad to determine as soon
as possible where the walks shall be laid.
The expense of laying this walk is not
very large.

As to IIand-I.ngine Contests.

Says the local correspondent of the
Burlington Free Press, the action taken
by the executive board of the State Fire
mems as sociation at Middlebury on March
II excluded from the annual tourna-
ment that which i'm the minds of many
has been the life and mainstay Of the
tournament, namely, the hand engine
contests. The hose races, which of them
selves are exceedingly Interesting, can by
no means take the place Of the hand en-
CINE contest. The latter contests bring
the crowds and we cannot hope to have a
successful meeting without a good at
tendance, Chief Engineer f, r. Stone Of
the Middlebury rile department in CONVEX
sation yesterday said: "What the exec
utive board had in mind when they eX-
cluded the hand engine contests | cannot
imagine. In my opinion they have made
a very serious blunder." Are the mer-
chants willing to take hold and help
financially?" was asked. The Middlebury
citizens" continued Mr.. Stone, " are all
willing to give freely and large sums of
money have already been subscribed for
the support of the meeting, providing we
have the hand engine contests together
with other races. Fire companies i'm the
state may rest assured that there will be
a hand engine contest open to all, even if
it becomes necessary to have them under
the auspices of the local fire companies.

HALT CALLED.
Orders For Movement of Troops
From Camp Thomas
Countermanded Owing to the
Altered Conditions.
SHAFTER HAS ENOUGH
Troops Intended For Him May
Go
To Porto Rico Now as at First
Projected.
SKATER HAS ENOUGH

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, June s.
No troops left Chickamauga today and
it is not now known when any will go.
General conditions have materially
changed during the last "a hours, and
as far as the troops here are concerned,
it is apparent that the war department
has materially altered its plans. Six
regiments had been ordered to move
today in command of Gen. Wilson, as
division commander, ana the railroads
had all the necessary trains to carry
the soldiers to the front, the quarter
masters department had loaded q train
of fifteen cars with supplies to accom-
pany the troops but the reduction of
Cervera's fleet Sunday at Santiago,
changed the whole plans of the depart
ment and a resembling order was re-
CeiVed last night. AS a result the
troops did not leave, the subsistence
train was stopped and the contents
were unIoaded and everything will now
wait the next move of the department.
e The six regiments which expected to
go today are as follows Third WiscOn-
sin, Col NJ. t. Moore, commanding;
Second Wisconsin,, Col. Charles A.
Born, commanding; Sixteenth Pennsyl-
Vania Col. Willis J. HulingS, command
ing; Third Illinois, Col Fred Bennit,
commanding; Fourth Ohio, Col. A. B.
Colt, commanding; Fourth Pennsyl-
Vanla, Col u. b case, commanding.
The entire first corps is still prepar-
ing to move, but orders are expected for
the preparations to be discontinued and
for the various regiments to resume
their regular routine here.
No information will be given out at
headquarters as to when the movement
will begin, or whether or not counter
manding orders are expected. If the
corps does move it is generally believed
by the officers that it will be sent in its
entirety to Porto Rico, as at first in
tended This belief is based on Nthe
fact that none OF the regiments will be
needed by Shafter.
The paymasters continue to work
night and day and the indications now
are that they will finish their big task
by Thursday night
The paymasters have been so busy
paying the regiments that up to today
the total sum paid out had not been
summed up. 1t will however, average
about S25. 600 to each regiment

REVENUE CUT OFF.
Campaign Funds Will Be Short Owing
to Abolition of Metropolitan
Police.

The Populist state central committee
has lost 81, 500.
This is one of the results of the aboli-
ton of the metropolitan police. 1t is the
custom of the central committee to levy
a tax of two per cent on the salaries of
everyone who holds position by virtue
of politics and the metropolitan police
We're included. The order was to go into
effect on January 1 and the members of
the Wichita police force paid up The
Kansas City force paid about half the
assessment before the Populist state con-
vention. the Atchison force about two
thirds and the LeavenwOrth force also
paid a portion. The Topeka policemen
did not pay and the Fort Scott officials
said they had enough troubles of their
own and did not care to pay any assess
ments just then.
While the officers of the state central
committee were meditating upon some
scheme for collecting from the delinquents
the Populist state convention met and
the metropolitan police off the earth.
One more effort was made to have the
policemen make payment, but they told
the chairman of the committee that he
might do what he pleased, but they did
not intend to pay.
Chairman Riddle has made some figures
and he has told some of his political
friends that the committee has lost about
81. 500 by the refusal of policemen to pay
their assessments.
The amount assessed against each pa
trOlman was 81 month or per cent of
their monthly wages. The same rule APP
plies to attendants in the asylums and
everyone else who works for the state.

CHASING THEORIES.
Detectives and Attorneys Working on
the Collins Case.

People who have been watching the
Collins murder case have been expect
ing some developments. Detective
Hurst of Kansas City who is working in
the interest of John Collins has been
in Topeka several times recently. At
torney Hayden was in Topeka over
Sunday and some important develop
ments have been looked for by those in
terested in the prosecution.
Attorney GODDARD who is the leading
attorney for the defense says that there
is nothing new in the case and that he
did not know that Detective Hurst was
in Topeka Attorney Hayden refused
to say anything while he was in TOpe-
ka-
Detective Hurst has been trying to
turn things into a new channel but so
far as is known has not succeeded in
gathering any evidence in support Of
his theory. He says that a huckster
drove through the alley on the north of
the Collins residence at o'clock on the
morning of the murder and saw the
dining room window open but he failed
to give the name of this man. He also
claimed during his recent visit that Po-
lice Sergeant Tim Donovan at hrSt SAID
that he saw tracks on the kitchen shed
but this Donovan positively denies.
Hurst is trying to build case upon
the theory that the murder was done
by some man outside the family as a
result of revenge or jealousy. He is
straining every nerve to find something
to sustain him.
Another point TO winch the attorneys
for the defense have been directing
their attention is the absence of a negro
by the name of Joe Johnson. It was
understood at first that Johnson knew
something of the dealings between John
Collins and johnson Jordan but he
could not be found. Now it is limited
by those interested in the defense that
johnson knows more about the muir
der than has been told and so long as
he is not found that theory might hold
good but if Joe Johnson should appear
before the time of the trial he might
change things somewhat.
John Collins has lost none of his good
humor or buoyancy of spirits. He sits
in his cell and smokes and chats with
friends as if he had his liberty and was
in his own room. He spent the Fourth
much like other prisoners except that
during the greater portion of the day
his sister Grace was with him. At 6
O'Clock Mrs Collins arrived with his
supper which he ate with a relish.
Newspaper men are still excluded from
his presence. He enjoys perfect pri-
Vacy.
The motion for a change of venue has
not yet been filed. The case will prob
ably. be taken to either Wabaunsee or
Jackson counties if the change is grant

HE CUT OFF HER HAIR.
That is One of the Charges Made by
an Applicant for Divorce.

Lucy Cowan has petitioned the dis
trict court for a divorce from George
w. Cowan, in which she makes sensa-
tional charges against him. She claims
that they were married at Wichita
June %, 1892, and that since that time
he has been very cruel to her, often
cursing her. She claims that although
she has been a dutiful wife, he has ac-
cused her of misconduct, and has at
different times choked her and struck
he1. She claims that on one occasion
he threw her down and pounded her
over the head with the heel of his shoe.
She claims that on June "A, 1898, when
sire was at the house of a friend, her
husband came after her and forcibly
dragged her from the house, taking
her down back streets and into a
vacant lot, where, she says, he drew a
razor and threatened to cut her throat.
She claims that he caught her by the
hair and with the razor cut off her
hair close to the head. She asks for
absolute divorce and that the defend
ant be required to pay her attorney
fees and the costs in the case.

LITTLE TO RESIGN.
Illness Keeps Him From Manila
Changes in the Twentieth.

Camp Merritt, San Francisco, July SIT
is rumored that there will be material
changes in the regimental officers of the
Twentieth Kansas, occasioned by the pros
pective resignation of Lieutenant Colonel
Edward G. Little. In the order of pro-
motion Major Whitman will succeed Col
oneI Little. Major Metcalf will advance
from Junior to senior major and Captain
Fred E. Buchan will change his title to
major 1t is reported that Captains Bolt
wood and Towers, ranking captains, will
leave the service by designations previous
to the sailing of the next Manila expedi-
ton, bringing Captain Clark of company
II in line for adjutant to succeed Buchan.
Lieutenant Colonel Little is in very poor
health and cannot possibly go to Manila.
The issue of uniforms and equipment to
the Kansas regiment and the fact that
each soldier drew the linen suits worn in
tropical climates, with a double supply of
other clothing, is, taken as an indication
that the Twentieth Will go to Manila with
the next expedition, sailing July II.
