STANDS UP FOR KANSAS.
A w. Smith Replies to Criticisms of
the Exhibit at Omaha

Mcpherson, Aug. ia. w. Smith
still stands up for Kansas" Some at
tempt has been made to make light of
the Kansas exhibit at Omaha by saying
that it consists merely of a pyramid Of
wine.
Mr. Smith, who was appointed one
of the five Kansas commissioners by
Governor Leedy said today:
The state has the finest agricultural
exhibit on the ground, and in fact the
very best made from this years crops,
and will compare favorably with any
exhibit made by Kansas anywhere. The
exhibit in the mining building is credi-
table in every respect. In salt, zinc
and lead we excel anything there. Our
horticultural exhibit is getting in good
shape, although we have found 1T
great task to gather apples this year
owing to the general failure of that
crop, yet, nevertheless the horticultural
display will be a credit to any state In
the liberal arts building, our education
al display is up to date in every par
ticular, illustrating the excellence of our
public school system. Our exhibit in
the apiary building is something splen-
did. There is really no honey superior
to that gathered from the alfalfa bios
SONS. Bee keeping is becoming great
industry in the Arkansas valley. In
the dairy building, Kansas is making
an extensive exhibit. Our Kansas build
ing, though unpretentiOus, is one of the
most coy on the grounds and is used
for headquarters for Kansans visiting
the exposition.
THE livestock exhibit will be INSTALL
ed on the goth of September and we
expect the livestock exhibit to be the
finest collection ever made anywhere in
the country. The Kansas board has Of
fered special inducements by supple
menting all the premiums awarded to
Kansas stock by the Omaha commit
tee.
while our commissioners started out
with only limited means, the Kansas
display will more than meet the expec-
tations of any Kansan who may go
there

FREE SWEARING.
Low Down New Workers Will Con-
tinue to Disgust All Decent
People.

New York, Aug. 19.-The first thing
that the aldermen did today at the re-
sumption of their weekly sessions after a
fortnights vacation, was to kill Presi-
dent Guggenheimer's proposed antt-pro-
family ordinance.
The measure was unanimously adopted
in the council, and today came up for
confirmation by the aldermen. 1t was
vigorously attacked. Alderman Mccall,
the Tammany leader Of the board, fired
the first shot. He moved that the ordi-
nance be laid upon the table. He Stig-
matiZed 1t as unnecessary, and said it
looked like an attempt to secure cheap
nOtOriety in sensational newspapers. At
the conclusion of his remarks there was
much applause by his brother aldermen.
Only two or three members voted for
the measure and there roll call.
By the action of the aldermen the ordi-
nance was tabled but the vote may be
reconsidered. President Guggenheimer,
when seen about the matter, said:
1.-The action of the board speaks for it
self A man who will object to the bet
terment of the morals of the community
is beyond criticism. do not believe that
Mr.. Mccall acted on the advice of Mr..
Croker. Mr.. Croker favOrs my ordinance.
The first thing he did when he got off the
steamship from Europe was to congratu-
late me on my reform measure.
Il understand" continued Mr.. Guggen-
heimer, that Mr.. Muh has an ordinance
similar to mine to introduce at the next
meeting of the board. 1t includes a pro-
vision. against swearing on excursion
''The defeat of the ordinance" said
councilman, lis practically a license for
free swearing in this wide-open town"

AMERICA AGAIN TONIGHT.
Crowds Surrounded the Casino Dur
ing the Last Performance.

The presentation of America at Car
field park last night crowded the Ca
sinO to it's utmost and a large crowd
stood up around the outside of the
Casino.
The wonderful success of the enter
tainment has resulted in the determine
ton of the management to present 1T
again tonight with a slight change In
the programme. The Indians will cap
ture a wagon train and massacre the
parents of the children therein The
members of Battery B will rescue the
children in the midst of an elaborate
spectacle.
The part taken by the Red Men in
these entertainments is an important
one. In the battle scenes Sitting Bull,
the famous war chief of the Custer
massacre, presented a hostile appear
ance on the stage. His trusty scouts,
young Spotted Tail and White Bear,
were sent out to reconnOiter and report
if any palefaces were in the forest.
General Custer and command being
found in the advance were attacked by
the Red Men and the whole of his COM
mand was slain with the loss of but
two of the red skins. Pocahoutas al
ways had corn and Venison for the war
riors. The Shawnee tribe No. Il and
NinneWa council of the Improved Or
der of Red Men were one of the draw
ing cards of the entertainment and de-
serve credit.

NO YACHT FOR THEM.
Duryea and Whitney Suddenly Lose
Interest in the Americas Cup.

Newport, r. L, Aug. 19.-H. R. Dur
yea and H. P. Whitney have given up
all idea of building a yacht to defend
the Americas cup. Since notice ap-
peared in the public press that Sir
Thomas Upton of the Ulster Yacht
club, had issued a challenge for a race
for the Americas cup, Nat HereSchOff,
the Bristol boat builder has made a
number of visits to Newport and has
held conferences on each occasion with
H. B. Duryea, Harry Payne Whitney
and H. d. Morgan, in relation to build
ing a yacht to defend the Americas
cup. At the early conferences it was
practically settled that these gentle
men would form a syndicate for that
purpose, but all movements of the kind
so far as Mr.. Duryea and Mr.. Whitney
are concerned are now over. Mr.. Dur
yea when seen at the Chickering cot
tage said:
MIR. Whitney and myself have given
up all notion of building a, cup de-
fender. There has been no friction be-
tween myself and Mr.. Whitney and any
other set of gentlemen who may have
formed a syndicate to build yacht.
This decision was not arrived athastily,
but is the result of elaboration which
eliminated in a determination to aban-
don the idea
We'll" inquired the reporter, "are
the Hereschoffs now likely to do any
thing in the way of building cup de-
fender?"
know nothing about Mr., Hereschoffs
business, but presume that he is like
" to go ahead and build a boat"
The reporter attempted to learn from
Mr. Duryea who the members of the
syndicate were which will probably
build the defender Mr.. Duryea diplO-
matfcally changed the subject to yacht
ing in general and every time the re-
Dorter returned to the subject he found
himself no nearer the information he
sought than at the first attempt.
From another reliable source it was
learned that the HereSchOffs not only
received a contract to build a cup de-
fender. but that the material for its
construction has been ordered and its
design decided upon The price is stated
to be $3.50. OOO From this same source
f was learned that a designer of the
Hereschoffs was at work on the plans
for a second defender at his office In
Philadelphia.
1t is asserted here that either Com
modore Morgan of the New York Yacht
Climb. or G. oliver Iselin is at the head
of the syndicate which placed its or
der with the Hereschoffs.

Dogs SUMNER RESORT.
There are Forty Guests at the Doe
Hotel Now,

The newest and most popular sum-
mer resort around Topeka is a summer
hotel or boarding house for well bred
dogs.
The Hotel de Canine is situated two
miles east of the city on the grounds of
the beautiful country residence of Mr.
Harry Robinson. A few years ago Mr.
Robinson owned the finest kennels in
the west and his famous great danes
took prizes at bench shows from New
York to Denver. After he gave up his
kennels the thought occurred to him
that the speciOus kennels might be
used for dogs who were left at home
during the summer while their owners
were enjoying summer resorts so the
kennels were renovated and a man was
installed as day clerk, night clerk Dor
ter, cook and head waiter.
When Topeka people leave town for
the summer and do not wish to take
their dogs with them they leave them
in care of the manager of the dogs
summer resort where they are cared
for at the rate of rs cents a week for
kennel and board. In connection with
the summer resort is a dog hospital and
the summer boarders have the benefits
of the hospital if they are aiing. At
present the hotel boasts of some 40
summer bOarders all enjoying life and
wondering how the other peoples dogs
who stay in the city can stand the hot
weather

BESET BY THIEVES.
Martin-Dennis People Having Hard
Time to Keep Their Horses.

The inhabitants of Martin-Dennis
have been terrorized OF late by horse
thieves and for a week the owners of
horses have been sleeping in their sta

at Eighteenth and Fillmore heard some
one in his barn. He seized lamp and
ran out to the barn. The thieves heard
him coming and made their escape.
They had united the horse and were
opening the large door as Mr.. Barrett

THE NAVAL PARADE.
Mayor Van Wyok Will Deliver an
Address.

Washington, Aug. 19-FinaI orders
were sent early this morning to Ad-
miraI Sampson relative to the naval
parade at New York City on Saturday.
The ships will proceed to the anchor
age at TompkinsvilIe and there await
the arrival of Mayor Van Wyck and a.
delegation of citizens, who are to go
aboard the flagship and deliver an ad-
dress to Admiral Sampson and the men
of his command. This ceremony will
occur before 10 o'clock.
Anticipating a pressure to gain ad-
mission to the flagship during the re-
view, the orders are that no one is to
be allowed aboard except on the ex-
press direction of the president. The
salute at the tomb of General Grant
will be the national salute of twenty
one guns.
Admiral Sampson probably will come
to Washington the early part of next
week, but no orders have been issued
thus far concerning his movements,
and it is understood that he will con-
tinue in command of the North Atlantic
fleet while serving as member of the
military commission at Havana Be
ing thus in command of the fleet he
will be enabled to select a flagship and
proceed thereon to Havana, although it
is more likely that the commissioners
will proceed together on a warship,
the Dolphin would be the admiraPs flag
ship temporarily. A high naval Off
Ger said today that Admiral Luce at
one time made a steam launch his
flagship, and in this way came from
New York to Washington. If the COM
Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley
may take their respective f1agshipS to
Havana and San Juan pending the
work Of the commission.

MUCH CRAP SHOOTING.
BY the CoIored Volunteers Since the
Last Pay Day.

The all absorbing pastime of the colored
soldiers camped in the fair grounds seems
to be gambling in the form of "crap
shooting"
Small groups of soldiers can be found in
the vacant buildings and in the grand
stand gathered around a small piece of
carpet or on the floor shooting craps for
anything from a nickel to half dollars.
The pastime has been going on uninter-
ruptedIy ever since the soldiers have been
in camp, but since pay day the playing
has become more general.
The playing is not wholly confined to
the soldiers, as some of the Toughest ne
gro characters of the town congregate
there in empty buildings and in some
games.
Il expect that perhaps some day we
fcer of the day for gambling said one of
the players in a game going on in the
grand stand but we have had no trou-
Bile so far. The officers never come around
here"
