OUR NEW MARKET.
Expectations to Japan and China
Show Wonderful Growth

Washington, Oct. 6-The steady and
rapid growth of our commerce with the
Orient is illustrated by a statement re-
cetVed by the treasury bureau of StatiS-
tics showing the imports and exports Of
Japan during the first half of the present
calendar year This shows that Japan's
purchases from the United States continue
to increase with great rapidity, while in
many cases those which she has been ac-
cuStOmed to make from other parts of the

the hrst six months of 1898 were Il. 1872. 064

of 1891 While the increase from the United
States alone was nearly 5000, 900 ven. show

SEMPLE GETS BACK.
He Will Now Go Out and Work for
Leedy.

R. J. Semple, assistant bank commits
s1oner, who several months ago institu-
ted revolt against Governor Leedy,
mas not only returned to the POpuISt
reservation, but will hereafter sit in
the councils of the braves and help
push the battle against the enemy.
When Semple put on his blanket, took
his can of war paint and left the old
crowd last winter, he did so in dead
earnest. Early in the spring his re-
volt against Governor I.eedy assumed
respectable proportions but did not
crystalline. Bob himself was mention
ed" for the gubernatOrial nomination.
but he proclaimed that he was not a
candidate, and the revolt was without a
leader who would consent to go into the
convention a candidate against
Leedy. So when the POpuliSt state con-
ventiOn met the opposition to Leedy was
easily overcome Then the metrOpoli-
tan police law was repUdiated by the
convention and Semple announced that
he was appeased, although he did not
feel like doing any active work for
Leedy's reelection. Little by little, how
ever, he has warmed up to the work
and he could not bear the thought of A
campaign passing without having
hand in it. So a day or two ago he
went to the state committee and an
nounced that he is ready to go out into
the state to work for the success of the
POpulist ticket.
Chairman Riddle announces that
Semple will make four speeches in the
Fifth district, probably the latter part
OF next week. ana VIII also spend the
week just before election campaigning
IN his home county, Franklin. Semple
says he is also going out into Kingman
county to help Glenn Fairchild who is a
candidate for reelection to the legisla-
ture, but these dates are not scheduled
by Riddle, probably on account of his
antipathy to Fairchild.
John W. Breidenthal will also spend
half of each week from now till cleo
ton campaigning for the state ticket.
His dates are october Is, IA, Is, 20, q.
p, q, %, %, November 3, 4, and s. The
places are not vet assigned.

LOOKS LIKE A FAKE.
Topeka People Worked Once More,
So It Appears, by eeWrite-up" Men.

Topeka people who paid for write
zine are becoming uneasy. No write
seen any copies OF the proposed maya
zine.
Mr.. J. B. Campbell came into Topeka
with flourish of trumpets. There were
three or four men to collect data and
photographs and also collect money.
They stopped at good hotels, secured
the endorsement of the Commercial
club and began business. The plan was
to make a big write up Of the city.
Business men were visited and they
gave the data for the nice things they
wanted said about themselves. They al
so paid a stipulated sum in advance.
After the men had secured all the or
ders they could they left Topeka.
The magaz zine containing the write up
was to appear in August. 1t did not
appear but there was a statement sent
to Topeka for publication as an adver-
tisement stating that the publication
had been HnavOidably delayed but that
the magazine would appear later. Since
then the people who put up their mon
ey have been fairly hurting their eyes
in their anxiety in keeping a look out
for the magazine but it has not yet
come.
Secretary Anderson of the CONNER
cial club was informed two weeks ago
that the magazine would be out in u
few days.
People have commenced to feel as if
they had been taken in and they would
like to see the magazine or the money
they invested pretty soon.

A-suing the Railroad Company.

A case was filed in the supreme
court today which has already been
fought through two courts and has been
ordered up to the supreme court for
review. It is the suit of Otto J. Marsh
and his wife, Eta Marsh of Kansas
City, Kan. for $4,000 damages against
Newman Erb, as receiver of the Kansas
City, Wyandotte & Northwestern rail-
way In June, 1893 Irene, the little
daughter of the plaintiffs, was run over
by a train on the defendants road in
Kansas City and killed. The parents
brought suit against the railroad, al
leging that the train was running
faster than was allowed by law within
the city limits. The county court gave
them a judgment for $1,000, and the
railroad appealed to the court of ap-
peals This affirmed the decision of the
lower court, and the road now carries
the case to the supreme court.

BREIDENTHAL FIGURES
That the Populists Will Control the
Next Legislature.

John w. BreidenthaI has figured it
out that the Populists will have a clear
majority in the next legislature. Mr..
Breidenthal had considerable experience
in figuring on election results during
his long service as chairman of the
Populist state committee, and he is
probably as competent to juggle with
ante-electiOn figures as any one in the
state. He gave no figures, but claimed
the legislature without doubt for the
Populists.
In congressional matters he said,
1--WE have a lead pipe cinch in two dis
tricts, the Third and Seventh. In two
others, the Fifth and Sixth, there is
but little doubt that the POpulists will
succeed-in fact, Mccormick will surely
be elected in the Sixth if the Republicans
keep Reeder making speeches, and Vim
cent is pretty sure in the Fifth The
Second and Fourth districts will be
close, while the Republicans are, of
course sure of the First
In regard to the state ticket Mr.. Bret
denthal says the result will be close and
neither party has a sure thing.

TOUCHED THE BUTTON
While Judge Dolman Pronounced the
Marriage Service.

While Probate Judge DoIman was
engaged in curling his moustache and
smoking a cigar yesterday afternoon he
was disturbed by the entrance of a trio
man, one young man and one
maiden. The young man held the
maiden's hand and the elderly gentle
man held a large camera.
The young couple walked up to Judge
Dolman's desk, but the elderly gentle
man remained in the background.
"Have you any objection to marrying
US before a camera?" asked the young
man.
Judge Dolman smiled and threw away
his cigar. He always smiles and sacri-
fees cigars when a marriage fee is in
sight.
Certainly not" he replied
'It's all right said the young man,
turning to the elderly gentleman with
the camera. Get your fixture ready"
While the photographer busted him
self setting up the camera and arrang-
ing the plates Judge Dolman made out
the license and instituted search for
his marriage manual By the time the
photographer was ready the manual
had been found and the couple and the
judge stood up in front of the camera.
The bride and groom faced the picture
taking machine and Judge DOlman took
a. place at one side.
He started to read the marriage for
mula and the photographer ducked his
head beneath the cloth at the back of
the camera The marriage was we'll
under way when his head appeared
again and Judge Dolman had but a few
more words to say when there was the
click which proclaimed the picture
taken. The photographer took down
his camera and Judge Dolman conclud-
ed the ceremony.
Becky and I always lowed as how
we would have our pictures taken as
we stood up to be married" said the
groom in explanation to the judge, land
that's why I brought the photograph
man along"
The young man was c. NJ. Grant and
the girl Rebecca, B. Wood. They are
aged respectively q and 10 years.
1t was the first time Judge Dolnan
was ever called upon to perform the
marriage ceremony before a camera.

D. m. and at that hour about two hun
dred men, women and children were in

dience was so small that the committee
made arrangements to run a special

The night at virden passed quietly.
The town presented a martial aspect,
fully $500 armed miners being organ
lied into squads patrolIed the railroad
tracks and highways.
The men when relieved from duty
slept in barns, empty store rooms, box
cars and on the sidewalks, wherever
room could be found. Mayor Nou is

the present trouble lasts. Commissary
arrangements for feeding the miners
have been perfected.
The strikers are not molesting the
cOmpany'S plant. Manager Lukens
fearing an attempt to destroy the stock

Davenport for deputies. The leading
merchants offered to go on the bonds
of a number Of Virden miners who own
their own homes, if they were sworn in
as deputies by the sheriff, guarantee

A brother of Sheriff Davenport spent
the night in the stOckade which is in
charge of 80 eX-Chicago policemen.
Manager Lukens reaffirmed his purpose
of bringing in Alabama negroes, and in
sisted that the sheriff be in readiness
to invoke aid. The sheriff says he will
do his duty, and will only call on Gov

in keeping the plants idle. They claim
that there is a combine to keep the
