CHINATOWN CAPlTULATES
Our Troops Capture It After a
Bloodiess Struggle.

1eSlerday morning at a quarter to :
O'Clock the soldiers at Camp Sadler were
called to quarters and 100 men were
marched under command of Major Nor
risOn direct to Chinatown.
At once the ines were extended around
the Mongolian city and the Chinese who
came out of their dens found themselves
surrounded.
The quarter-master had reported the
disappearance Of % pairs of blankets. 9
oVercoats and numberless pairs of shoes
belonging to the Government. The men
reported that their blankets had been
stolen by the Chine sc but others held
that the government goods had been
swapp7d for China gin.
The Major determined to find and re
cover these articles and bring them back
to camp. When the Chinese ATTEMPTED
to pass the lines they were met with fixed
bayOnets and turned back. The inhall-
tants of the doomed city became panic
stricken to such an extent that they for
got to swear in English and turned forth
on the troops their choicest vocabulary

breakfast Mrs. Highly handed me a
lovely cup of coffee with the remark,
did you ever realize that it is not at
all consistent for temperance people to
continually advise others to avoid pois-
onOus stimulants, and yet day by day
drink such articles themselves. This
is particularly true of coffee, which is
one of the most powerful narcotics in
existence. although its effects are not
shown as actively as whisky"
7 was rather surprised at her remark,
but after thinking it over a moment,
realized that it was apropos. I had
noticed many a case of nervous pros
tration that was directly traceable to
coffee, for the individuals at once began
to improve when they left off coffee,
and had found it so in my own exper-
fence.
had made several attempts to break
away from the habit and had failed,
much to my disgust, and, Oftentimes,
when addressing an audience on the
evils of liquor drinking, I had in my
own heart felt that was very much
like an old topper, the only difference
being that wanted coffee and he want
ed liquor.
abandoned coffee entirely in our family,
and are using Postum Cereal Food Cof-
fee made down at Battle Greek, Mich,
and think when you drink this cup,
you will agree with me that it is in
many respects a more delicious bever-
age than ordinary coffee for it has
smoother, more fascinating taste, much
like the very highest grades of mild
Java
drank the cup slowly and realized
that her remarks were true, and want
to say to you that I gained no more
valuable knowledge at that convention
in Wyoming, than that which I learned
at the breakfast table where I had my
first cup of Postum. have since used
it regularly, very greatly to my physi-
cal and mental advantage and have
found no difficulty whatever in doing
away with coffee. No one can tell how
glad I am to be free from its banefuI
effects. I can now make a temperance
address with a clear conscience, and
perhaps, I might add a. clearer COM
plexion than formerly"

BIG LEEDY MEETING.
Hamilton Hall Crowded With People
to Attend the Last Rally.
Nae Populists lad their mini

The Populists had their inning in
Topeka last night and got even with the
Republicans, so far as getting out a big
crowd was concerned. Hamilton hall
was overcroWded and large numbers OF
people were turned away. The crowd
was so dense around the main entrance
that it was impossible for those outside
to get up the stairway, and almost as
hard for those inside to get out, except
by going down the back stairs.
The hall was well filled long before
time for the speakers to arrive, and
when Governor Leedy and David Over
myer made their appearance, accom-
panied by Chairman Riddle and others,
the crowd broke into cheers. The au-
dience supposed that operations would
then begin, but not so. After a, wait of
ten minutes the Leedy cadets filed into
the hall and took their places on the
platform. Meanwhile the asylum band
was playing down on the street. Those
in charge of the meeting supposed the
band would follow the cadets up into
the hall, but they did not do so. They
had been engaged to play and they pro-
posed to do what they had come there
for. The PopulistS did not like to begin
the meeting with the band still playing
in front of the hall, and they finally had
to send a messenger down to shut the
band off. The members of the band filed
into the hall and on the stage, but when
they were not called upon to play at
the opening of the meeting the most of
them got up and left
Colonel Fred Close presided.
Governor L60Oy was nTSL introduced.
Before he began speaking some one in
the audience sent a bunch of large
chrysanthemums up to him. When he
advanced to the front of the stage the
audience broke into a prolonged ap-
plause. When it subsidized the governor
began his speech which was much the
same as he has delivered throughout
the campaign. He said there was but
one issue, and that was whether the
corporations should run the state or the
state run itself. He reviewed the school
book, stock yards and insurance fights,
and then addressed himself to the color
ed voters. He said the Republican
speakers had told the truth in one re-
spect, and that was that he had simply
done his duty when he had opened the
gates for the co1ored people to enlist.
"They say that you do not owe me
anything for doing as I have DONE"
said Governor Leedy, "and that is true.
But they have left another truth for
me to tell, and that is that you don't
owe the other fellows anything. You
are free to vote for whomever you
please"
After the governor had concluded
David Overmyer was introduced. He de-
voted most of his time to talking of the
war and expansion, criticising the at
titude of the Republican leaders, and
claiming that they had at length come
to the old Democratic idea of CONNER
cial expansion. He was interrupted by
frequent applause.

Civil Life Seems Mighty Slipshod-
A large number of soldiers of the
Twenty-first Kansas regiment called at
the governors Office yesterday after
noon to see if there had been any ar
engagements made for them to get back
to Leavenworth. The railroads have
ceased granting rates, and even if there
were special rates many of the boys are
out of money and could not pay fare.
I'VE have not had any pay for three
months" said one of the soldiers to a
Journal reporter, land as a. consequence
the boys are hard up. Our last pay
day came early in August when we had
no'idea of being mustered out and when
we supposed that we would get our pay
right along so we did not save our
money. I know of some of the boys
who have sold their blankets in order
to get some necessary spending money.
The blankets cost So. so and they sold
them for 81 or S1.5 Another fellow
pawned his gun for IS. There are prob
ably 200 men staying at the fort because
they did not have money to get away
There are 121 members of the Twenty
first in Shawnee county and some OF us
vote. Our furlOughs will run out on
Thursday and we will have to be back
there then anyway"
Major Shreve secured transportation
for number of the boys back to Leav-
enWorth- They now expect to be mus
tered out on December 8.
