Newton. Kan, July 26.-ColoneI Edwin
Batdorf, commanding the First Missouri
volunteers at Chickamauga, just now tenn
porarily in command of the First brigade
Second division, Third army corps, the
brigade to which Colonel Fred Grant was
assigned, is an old resident of Newton

FISH TRUST ASSURED.
Chicago Capitalists Will Attempt
What Englishmen Failed to Do.

Chicago, July 26.-Chicago capitalists
are to step in where the English money
holders feared to tread. They are
to form a. combination of lake fishing
companies, which was to have been ac-
complished through the agency of Brit
ish capital a month ago. The headquar-
tiers of the new concern are
to be located in Chicago, the chief Off
GERS are to be citizens of this city and
the name of the corporation will be the
A. Booth Packing company The
capital of the new concern Will be en-
OrmOus.
According to the plans announced
early in June, a, fishing trust, backed
by English capital, was to come into
existence July 1. The company was
to control 80 per cent of the fisheries
of the great lakes, and was to take a
foremost place among the great indus
tries of the country. Then came the
failure of Terah Hooley, the London
millionaire, and many of the English
capitalists, who were in the combina.-
ton, were such heavy losers that they
were compelled to withdraw their sup
port. The continuation of the Ameri-
can-Spanish war beyond all their ex-
pectations frightened away the other
hackers from venturing into financial
investments on this side of the Atlant-
ic and the entire scheme as planned
was abandoned.

SEES TRAGEDY A DREAM
Death Of Sergeant Russell at Santiago
Revealed in a Vision.

New York, July 26.-Just before the
fierce battle at Santiago, in which
Ham Fish, Sergeant Marcus D. Rus
sell and other brave fellows fell, there
was a most remarkable psychic phe-
nomenon in connection with the blood
lest tragedy of the war.
Captain James Dennison Of Warrens-
burg, an uncle of Sergeant Marcus d.
Russell, lay on a sick bed. On the
Monday following the killing of Ser
geant Russell, and before any of the
family had obtained tidings of his
death, Captain Dennison tossed uneas-
lily. He awoke at length from a trou-
bled sleep. Partly rising himself on
his elbow, Captain Dennison said to
DR.. Gillespie, his attending physician:
Doctor, Mark has been killed. He
was coming up over a rise in the
ground, fighting his way with a revol-
yer. when he was met by small party
of Spaniards. He shot the first, sec
ond and third Spaniard, but missed the
fourth, while a. fifth loaded his gun and
shot poor Mark, who died instantly
After so speaking Captain Dennison
fell back on his pillow and soon passed
into the unconscious state that had
marked his condition for several days.
The next day news reached the family
that Russell had been killed while
fighting Spaniards single handed. That
the tragic killing was revealed to Cap
tain Dennison in a vision now generally
accepted.

Hays City. July 26.-The toughest gang
that ever visited any county is the one
that has been doing the harvesting for our
farmers. Now that the harvest is over,
they show what they are. Instead of
leaving town, they hang around making
all the trouble they can holding people
up and frightening them almost into in
sanity.
At Victoria there is a hold-up almost
every day. Saturday night parties en-
tered Brungardt's store and helped them
selves to available cash and goods they
wanted.
Saloons have been running wide open
and beer was flowing like water. This
is what caused the men to hang around.
Monday complaint was made to the
county attorney, who ordered the saloons
closed. The Russians in the neighbor-
hood then organized and gave notice to
the loafers that they must leave town be-
fore noon or they would drive them out
by force.

Current returns of public expendi-
ture are illustrating forcibly the rela-
tive severity of the burden of support
ing an army campaign, as compared
with provision for navy in active ser
vice. In March the army and navy
budgets of expenditure were almost ex-
actly equal; in April precisely twice as
much was spent for the navy as was
disburSed for the army. But from the
81, 500 900 paid out in April by the ma
w department, expenditure fell at once
to the neighborhood of So, 900, 900 month
Iy, an average which it still maintains.
The war department, on the other
hand, which paid out only $6,20O,0OO in
April, raised it's expenditure to ST., 00O,
900 in May, to $40, 700, 900 in June. and
thus far in the present month, with the
returns of nearly two weeks left to be
reported, has disbursed SIS, 100000.

When the immigration inspector on

Each of the other cases which were

Wichita, July 26.-The most important
shipment ever made from this city start
ed this morning. It was a special TWEEN
ty-two car train filled with special pro-
ducts of the Jacob Dold Packing company,
which will be sent to New York and ex-
ported to Europe.
Yesterday the aggregate waiting orders
were so great that the Missouri Pacific
railroad was appealed to and asked to
furnish a special through engine and train
crew, the Dold company to supply their
own refrigerator cars. The yard master
was ordered to carry out this order, and
late last night all arrangements were in
tact for the big shipment today. The
consignment required twenty-five cars,

to one line of transatlantic steamers, to
be forwarded to the Dold company's spe-

Wichita Boy Writes of the Trials of
Life at Santiago.

Wichita, July 26.-"Curly" Kirke, a
Wichita boy with the rough riders, writ
ing home from Santiago, says:
1T has been a terrible week on US SOL
diers. In all my born days never saw
such a variety of death for a man to
choose from. If a man don't like Mauser
bullets. but he can eat some pomegranates
and get cholera, drink water and get yell
low fever, fall into the Juan river and
drown, get kicked by an army mule,
smoke a pipe on a powder key, accident
ally discharge his own gun, ask a reg
ular army officer for chew of tobacco.
Death? Why, death floats around in
the air here like the cottonwood moult-
ings in Wichita. There is nothing but
death. You have got no harder hold on
life than you have on an eel with an cpl
leptic fit. The very sun as he comes up
in the morning seems to wink the other
eye and say:
Take a good look at me, old fellow,
it's your last chance"

In discussing the future policy of
this country regarding territory which
may be wrested from Spain, there is
apparent on the part of public men and
newspapers a tendency to rely largely
on precedent. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that the United States must
pursue a course similar to that pursued
by some other country at some time
under similar circumstances. Can't
the Yankee nation be trusted to evolve
something new and better in this line?
