step of the journey was marked by the
widest demonstration. The American

entertainments and knocked over tents

tuning heroes. and sent cheer after
cheer to the men who sailed into the
jaws of death to serve their country,
The same scenes of enthusiasm were
repeated on the arrival at the hospital
station and Juragua.

vance of his companions, was taken on
board the New York Immediately.
The tiagship's deck was lined with off.

and stepped on board the vessel. With
shouts and cheers he and his comrades

transports lying near the New York.
All the men are in excellent health.
The Spanish authorities consented
this morning to exchange Hobson and
his men. and truce was established
for the purpose. The place selected
for the exchange was under a tree be-
tween the American and Spanish lines,
and two-thirds of a mile beyond the
entertainments occupied by the rough
riders, near General Wheeler's head
quarters, the center of the American
line. The American prisoners left the
Reina Mercedes hospital at 2:45 this

was made on either side to discuss any
thing but the matter in hand. lrles

MAY BE NO MISSOURI DAY.
A Combination of Circums stances Ma
Cause the Abandonment of
the Affair.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-, Aug. s-(Spe-
cial) There is a strong probability that
Missouri day. August 30, at the Omaha ex-
position will either be abandoned or de-
ferred until some time in October. The
fact that the railroads have refused to
give any better rates than one fare for
the round trip. and the further fact that
Kansas City and st. Joseph have separate
days at the exposition this month. have
caused the Missouri commission to think
that it would be a wise move either to
abandon the day altogether or at least to
postpone it until later in the season. Gov
ernor Stephens expects to leave for a trip
to the Michigan lakes on August 10, and
it may be impossible for him to return in
time to make proper arrangements to at
tend on Missouri day with his military
staff. His military staff officers are scat
tered to such an extent that 1t will be
impossible for them to get together to at
tend on the date now set. some of them
having gone to the front in the war; and,
besides. it has been learned that some of
the speakers selected can not be present
on August 30. The general opinion seems
to be here that 1t would be far better to
abandon the day altogether unless it can
be celebrated in manner beffttng the
fifth state in the Union. Something def
mite about the matter will probably be
announced within the next week.

HAVE HELPED KANSAS CORN.
General Rains Since Friday Promise
to Raise Secretary COburn's Es-
tfmate 30 Per Cent.


TOPEKA, Aug. S.-(Special) General
rains throughout the greater portion of
Kansas during the past twenty-four hours
have improved the condition of the corn
crop. In his bulletin published to-day, Sec
retary Coburn placed the condition at SO
per cent. This was upon reports made on
July 81. Since then, corn in some places
has sustained further damage, but ssthe
rains since Friday noon have more than
Offset that.
From Topeka east, corn is very light and
will barely make a half crop. From here
to Hutchinson, the crop is in fair condi-
tior. In the vicinity of Nickerson, 1t is
, buried up almost completely, but little
further west it will average as well as
the crop of any previous year in the short
grass region.
From Newton to Topeka there was
heavy downpour of rain this afternoon.
and in the first named place it continued
until late into the night.
The rain came too late along the Rock
Island to improve the condition Of corn
materially. At Belleville, in Republic
county. it is claimed the crop is almost
average more than ten bushels per acre
in that vicinity.
JUNCTION CITY, KAS., Aug. 6.-(Spe-
cial.) A general rain fell over Central KAN
sas this afternoon, and at 6 tonight the
indications point to more rain. This rain
will do much TO help late corn. The coun-
ty will have over a half crop on the river
quite. little corn. 1t is the general I'M
preston that corn is hurt less than farm
erS imagine. Favorable weather now will
certainly do much.

Lyman j. Gage and the keeley Cure.

Lyman ]. Gage, late president of the
First National bank of Chicago, now sec
retary of the treasury, In letter to a
friend in London, England, some time
since, said. in relation to DR.. Kelley and
his gold remedies for the cure of alcohol
ism and the morphine habit:
Il am well acquainted with DIR. Kelley
and regard him skillful physician and
an advanced scientist. His remedy has
performed many wonderful cures. restoring
to the public many men of bright talent
and intellectual ability, whose lives have
been clouded and almost destroyed through
the inordinate of stimulants or mar
cotics. His remedy can no longer be

sense OF that word. and man who has
won the respect of the public; His name is

The Kelley Institute of Kansas City.
Kas., located at the corner of Sixth street
and Ann avenue, is one of the Oldest as
well as the best equipped and most sue

administered DR.. Keeley's remedies for
nearly seven years. 1t is the authorized
Kelley institute for this state. and the only
one using the genuine Keeley remedies. All
remedies used are received from the great
Kelley laboratory, and the treatment. be-

Keeley, is identical with that received at
Dwight. The Kansas City. Kas.. institute
is easily reached by the cable or elevated
cars going west from the Union depot.

IMPROVING ITS GULF ROAD.
ducing Grades of Gulf, Colo
RADIO & Santa Fee.

TOPEKA, Aug. 6.-(Special) The Santa
Fe is spending s1,5oo,GO in reducing the
grades on the main line between Sealy and
Fort Worth. Incidentally $50 or more
bridges are being filed in or replaced. The
main line of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
is from Purcell. l. T., to Galveston. This
main line is divided into divisions. The first
division is from Galveston to Sea!y, IS niles;
the second from Sealy to Temple. 124 miles;
the third from Temple to Cleburne, 90
miles: the fourth from Cleburne to Gaines
vile, SO miles; from Gainesville to Purcell,
107 miles.
Speaking generally, the country traversed
by the main line of the road is level at the
ends and hilly in the middle. The division
between Galveston and Sealy is SO flat that
an ordinary engine can handle forty loaded
cars. Between Sealy and Cleburne, how
ever, the country is so rugged and irreg-
ular it takes three engines and three train
crews to do the work that one engine and
one train crew can accomplish on the Gal
weston division.
