WILL GET ALONG.
Populist Committeeman INDUCES in
a Little Gentle Sarcasm.

The ways and means and executive
committees of the Populist central COM
m1ttee will meet in Topeka this evening.
The executive committee will make de-
tailed arrangements for the meetings
of the campaign.
The ways and means committee has
charge of the more important work of
raising funds to carry on the cam
paign. H. 3. Schaeffer of Jefferson
county said that he did not know what
arrangements the committee had in
contemplated Then he added half in
jest: "Oh, yes, we are hard up for
funds. The breweries think that they
would rather help Mr.. Stanley. He is a
Sunday school superintendent and they
think they would rather pin their faith
to him than to the honest, hard working
farmers But we will get along. 1 sup
pose it will be said that we are taxing
the poor boys and girls who are en-
plOyed at the state institutions to death
and that it is a terrible outrage but we
will get along somehow
Andrew Shearer of Marshall county,
who is also a member of the ways and
means committee, said that he had not
been advised concerning the purpose of
the meeting.

JOURNEY RESUMED.
The President Leaves Somerset for
Canton Via Johnstown.

Canton Via j OhnStOWn.
Somerset, Pa, Aug. 29.-The president
and Mrs. Mckinley passed a restful
night They rose early and wished their
visit could be prolonged. The presidents
visit has been a comparatively quiet
one, such as a rest seeker might wish
for. There We're but few callers until
this morning when the eagernesS to
embrace an opportunity was given rein
and a hundred people gathered in front
of the Mckinley home for handshake.
Many men carried kodaks with which
to snap the chief executive and some of
the women had arms full of babies
whose little hands they wished to lay
in that of the president. The president
evidently wished to avoid anything like
reception and he sat on the side porch
smoking. Coming to the front porch he
shook hands with those who had gath
cred there. When the crowd had gone
the president sitting on a bench at the
outer edge of the pavement saw two
aged farmers who had come in to see
him. He beckoned to them and met
them half way down the steps for
handshake.
The presidential party consisting Of
the president and Mrs Mckinley As
and Major Webb Hayes left here on a
special train at II O'Clock for Johns
town, from where they will continue
their trip westward. Mr.. Abner Nc
Kinley accompanied the party to Johns
town and may remain with it to Can
ton.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley
drove to the station with Abner McKin-
ley and his daughter Mabel A large
crowd gathered at the station to wave
a goodbye but after the president en-
tered his car he did not appear again.

EUGENE WARES WAR SONG
Mrs. CASTOR Boyd of Newton, Writes
the Most Acceptable MUSIC.

Some time ago Eugene Ware wrote a
war poem entitled ''OId Glory The SEN
timent struck popular chord, and the
suggestion was made that some Kansas
composer set the words to music.
The suggestion was taken up by numer-
Gus musicians in the state, and the varf-
Gus productions were sent to Mr.. Ware.
He turned them over to a committee of
musicians in this city.
The committee decided that the song
submitted by Mrs. CASTOR Boyd of New
ton was the best. Mr.. Ware accordingly
returned the manuscript to her, with the
suggestion that she put the finishing
touches thereon and write a piano ac-
compa niment. Her production was a
four-four movement, in martial style for
four parts. She will begin the final prep
aration Of the score al once.
Mr.. Ware says he will pay the expenses
of introducing the song. Sample copies
will then be put in the hands of military
bands and other organizations to await
the verdict of popular sentiment. If the
song takes it will be a source of protit
to both Mrs. Boyd and Nj. Ware.

CONTRACT THROWN UP.
l. Sheehan Finds He Made a Mistake
Reading the Specifications.

The state board of charities is having
trouble about the plumbing for the
new building at the Topeka insane asy-
lum. When the bids for plum bling were
opened it was found that L Sheehan of
Topeka was entitled to the contract, as
his bid of $1,SOG was much lower than
any of the rest and the contract was
accordingly awarded to Mr.. Sheehan.
After the contract had been awarded
Mr.. Sheehan began to make some in
Vestigations and he found that he had
made a mistake. He thought that the
contract called for the construction of
two large tanks, but when he read the
specifications carefully he found that
three tanks were provided for. It did
not take him long to come to the con-
clusiOn that he would lose money if he
and he asked the board to release him.
The board has again agreed to readver-
tise for bids and that will be done this
week.

STANDS BY LITTLE.
Continued from First Page.)


this, and at the time of the application
and while it was pending, the attacks
on Little appeared in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle and Call. Repeated at
tacks were made on him, and were for
the most part utterly without founda-
ton. They were inspired, in my judg-
ment, based upon knowledge, almost
amounting to absolute proof, by some
of Lieutenant Colonel Little's brother
regimental officers, and 1 know that at
our regiment mess they were read ana
commented on with pleasure and ap-

''The reporters on the Chronicle and
Call who at that time were assigned to
our camp were friends of Colonel Funs-
ton and at about the time of the print
ing of these articles, and subsequent
to their appearance in the papers, these
reporters were the guests of our mess.
The purpose of these attacks was to
break the spirit of a man SICK aImost

USUAL FLIGHT.
Entire Santa Fe Office Force
Leaves Galveston on Account
of One Case of Yellow Fever.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 29.-The en-
tire general office force of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railroad left
here early this morning on a special
train for Cleburne.
This is but a repetition of the action
of the officials last year when there
was a yellow fever scare here. If the
orders of State Health Officer Blunt are
enforced the raflroaders will be put in
the camp of detention at Cleburne for
six days.
The officials justify their action by
declaring that If they remained in Cal
weston the business of the road might
be paraIyzed. There is a decided i'm
provement in the situation. The one
case at Fort Point that has caused all
the trouble is convalescent.

TO GOVERN CUBA.
Military Commission Will Retain
Charge for Awhile.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The instruc-
tons to the Cuban and Porto Rican
military commissioners were drawn I'D
and approved by the president before
he left Washington and are now ready
to be delivered to the president of each
before he leaves. The instructions will
not be made public but their general
terms are known to be the same as the
instructions sent to General Shafter
regarding the government of Santiago
and to General Merritt regarding the
Philippines. This Will mean that the
military commission will take control
of Cuba and Porto Rico the same as
the military governor now controls
that portion of Cuba, surrendered to the
United States after the Santiago cam
pa1gn. The many minor details rela-
tive to the evacuation of the islands
are left to the commission, who will re-
port any difficult or disputed points to
Washington. There never has been
doubt that the United States will take
full control of Porto Rico, but the in
structiOns to the Cuban military com
mission settles any question regarding
that island and means that for the
present at least the United States will
assume the government and control of
the remainder Of the island as has been
the case in Santiago.

SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
Dean Hayden Tells Why he Believes
in the ParochiaI School

Rev. Dean Hayden of the Church of
the Assumption yesterday preached a
sermon outlining the attitude of the
Catholic church on the question of ed
ucation. The sermon was delivered with
the object in view of disabusing the
minds of those holding an opinion that
there was a clash between the church
and state on the matter of education.
He said:
THE Catholic church admires the
public school system of this country. It
the education of the young which from
q purely educational standpoint could
not be improved upon. But the Catho-
lie church believes that religion should
enter into the education of children, and

government has not the right to incor-
