Failed to PAY His Rent.

Chicago, May 27.-After a delay of
six years, the suit of Miss NJ. V. O'NeilI
against Adolph Keitel for s62.S6 room
rent came to an issue in Justice White s
court yesterday. when the plaintiff re-
ceived judgment for the full amount
by default. Miss O'Neiu is the sister
of Mrs. John Cudahy, wife of the mil
Honaire packer.
Owing to the prominence of both par
ties, the case has caused no end to
gossip in social circles. Attorney JOS
ephson appeared for the plaintiff and
opened the case by stating that the
debt was contracted six years ago
while the defendant boarded in the
O'Neill residence at 1868 Wabash ave-
nue.. Mr.. Keitel did not appear in court
during the proceedings and made no
reply The defendant subsequently
married a sister of Mr.. ChatfieId Tay-
lor and is prominent in society. He
lived for some time al 1926 Kimbark
avenue, but has since moved to Evans
ton. Miss O'Neill still resides at 1868
wabash avenue.

BESIDE DlSRAELI.
The Remains of Gladstone Are
Laid to Rest.

London, May 28.-In the northern
transept of Westminster Abbey where
England's greatest dead rest, the body
of the late William Ewart Gladstone
was entombed today with the ceremon-
les of the nation he had served and of
the church he had loved.
His grave is beside that of his life
long adversary. Benjamin DisraeH
(Lord BeacOnsfield), whose marble eff
hgy looks down upon it decked with the
regalia which Gladstone had refused.
Two possible future kings of Great
Britain walked beside the great COM
moner's coffin and all the nobility and
learning of the state surrounded it,
though the wish of the deceased had
been for simplicity.
This official funeral, the first since
that of Lord Palmerston, was rendered
an imposing spectacle by the magnif-
icence of the building in which it was
solemnized. The coffin rested on an ell
evated bier, before the altar, it's plain
ness hidden beneath a pail of white and
gold.
Six tall candles burned beside it and
on either side stood the supporters of
the pail The Prince of Wales and the
Duke of York were at the head of the
coffin and ranging behind them were
the Marquis of Salisbury, Earl of Kim
berly, a. J. Balfour, Sir William YER
non Harcourt, Lord ROsebery and Mr..
Gladstone's two old time friends, Baron
Rendel and George Armistead.
Westminster and behind him were
gathered the cathedral clergy, the arch
bishop of Canterbury and the scarlet
and white supplied chair, filling the
chapel.
The mourners who sat in the stalls
nearest to the bier were Mrs. Glad
stone, her sons Herbert and Stephen
and other members of the family with
little Dorothy Drew, Mr.. GladStOneS
favOrite grandchild.
The Princess of Wales and the Ouch
ess of York, occupied the deans pew
opposite.
In tiers of temporary seats in the
north and south transeptS were assem-
bled the members of the two houses of
parliament, the mayors of principal cit
les, delegates from liberal organizations
and representatives of other civic and
political organizations, while the long
nave was crowded with thousands of
men and women, among them being
most of the celebrities in all branches
of English life and every gallery, bal
cony and niche high up among the
rafters held cluster of deeply inter
ested spectators. In all $500 persons
were assembled in the abbey all cloth
ed in the deepest black, save few Of
1icialS, whose regalia CLEANED brilliant
ly from this sombre back ground.
Thousands thronged the square out
side in order to witness the passage Of
the funeral procession from Westmin-
Ster hall.
A double line of 500 policemen kept an
open passage for the funeral cortege.
The chief officials had assembled in
Westminster hall at 10 o'clock this
morning The bishop of London, the
Right Rev. Mandel Creighton, D. D.,
read a brief prayer there and at 1890
O'Clock, the procession was formed and
slowly passed through the great crowds
and along the short pathway,a "a. distance
the abbey, between two ranks of the
Elton volunteers in their buff uniforms.

MUST BE DESPERATE.
Anti-Seaton Men Grossly Misrepre-
Sented.

The Seaton forces must be growing
desperate when they deliberately mis-
state the position of delegates through
their organ, the morning Capital.
That paper says that p. /. Bonebrake
and Frank Bonebrake whose names ap-
pear on the anti-Seaton ticket, did not
agree to have their names placed on
the ticket.
P. I. Bonebrake said today: ST want
it known that I am in favor Of Major
Hood as against the world and am not
in favor of SeatOn or any other candi-
date. I want it distinctly understood
that I stand in that position and l am
not opposed to having my name the
anti-Seaton ticket as delegate"
Mr.. Bonebrake was consulted by the
committee before his name was printed
on the ticket and agreed to serve as
delegate if elected on the anti-Seaton
ticket.
Frank Bonebrake said: Some Cap
ital man came to see me and asked me
If I consented that my name be placed
on the anti-Seaton ticket. I told him
that I had not consented but that did
not object to it. He asked me if 1 was
going to allow my name to remain on
the ticket and I said that l was for
Hood and against Seaton and did not
object to being on the delegation OPP
posed to Seaton. I am for Major Hood
and 1 suppose that was known when
was placed on the delegation"
Frank ROnebrake will remain with
the anti-Seaton forces to the last, and
said that he will serve as delegate
if elected.
Carl Lawson, who is also quoted,
said: Il never said that my name was
used without my consent. 1 am aaginst
Seaton.'
Another example of their methods is
the assertion that John Seaton favored
the auditorium and Representative Ed
McKeever is given as authority.
1t was Representative McKeever
who gave the Journal the facts about
John Seaton's opposition to the audi
forum. He said today that when the
Seaton men came to him for an inter-
view he told them that he could not
give them any comfort.
The fact remains as Mr.. McKeever
says that John Seaton made the only
speech in opposition to the Topeka
auditorium that was made in the leg
islature and he said, according to Mr..
McKeever, that Topeka had enough
halls and opera houses already.

THIS Is A UNIQUE METHOD.
How the Klondike People Read the
State Journals News.

The mail contractors will not carry
newspapers over the trail and passes
into the Klondike country and yet there
are a great number of Topeka and
Kansas people in that part of the coun-
try anxious to read the State Journal
Mr.. w. w. Culver, of the firm of Gull
yer & Bailey of this city, is an expert
amateur phOtogra pher and has a
brother, w. S. Culver, in Klondike. The
idea was conceived that the State Jour-
nal could be photographed, reduced in
size, and the pages thus photographed
mailed as a letter and the articles read
by the means of a magnifying glass. 1t
costs 25 cents to carry letter over the
trail. Mr.. w. w. Culver has solved the
problem by photographing pages of the
State Journal containing important
news and making blue prints from the
negatives.
Mr.. Culver has photographed and
sent in this manner 20 or 80 different
portions of several issues of the State
Journal. One of the pages photo
graphed was the first page of May 9TH,
containing the first news from Dewey.
This page was reduced to the size of
~ inches by inches. The type shows
smaller than that Of any manufac-
tured, but the letters are so distinct
that they can be read with the naked
eye, although the magnifying glass IS
necessary where one undertakes to
read much of it.

SPANIARD Is DEFIANT.
Intimates That He VIII Stay
as Long as He Likes.
Has Been Cabling Information
to the Home Government.

New York, May 2S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Montreal says:
Two additional United States secret
service detectives have arrived here
and a close watch is being kept on the
Spanish consulate and the Spaniards-
It is evident that Senior Polo considered
1t vitality important to leave capable
and trustworthy agents behind and this
city or Quebec was the best. There
are several hot heads in Quebec pro-
vince, who always side with France.
Their leaders frequently visit Miquelon
and St. Pierre and the French coast
settlements of Newfoundland. In this
way, Senior Du Bose can obtain all the
information he desires relative to coal
for the Spanish fleet.
Canadian secret service agents report
that some of the staff of Senior Polo left
the steamer at Rimouski, one going to
Nova Scotia, and the other going back
toward Quebec city. These agents say
they located Senior Du Bose and Car
rama in private apartments in this
city. Both men might easily pass as
well to do Frenchmen, and might have
remained unObserved for months had
not the government been anxious to To-
cate them.
Senior Du Bose and Lieutenant Car
tied at No. AZ Topper street, this city.
L can't understand" Senior Du Bose
said, why proprietors of certain jour
nails allow their columns to be used for
printing such scurrilous matter as that
which has been sent from this city. In
one case a reporter described how he
followed me to the steamship Dominion
and was on my heels when I left it at
Quebec. All these stories were a tissue
of falSPhOOdS When Senior Polo and
those who accompanied him were ready
to leave Lieutenant Carranza and L
took a cab and drove from the Windsor
here and with the exception of an Oc-
casional walk, we have not been out of
the house"
May ask why you are staying be-
hindu
Simply because I think that its best
that 1 should. 1 am enjoying myself,
but if perchance I can help my country
in any way, 1 shall certainly do so.
These stories of spies, of thousa nds of

INSURANCE BY THE STATE.
One of the Recommendations in Supt.
McNalPs Report.

The most important recommendation
made by Commissioner McNall in his
annual report is one for state fire in
surance. In reference to this he says:
81 would further recommend that the
legislature provide for state fire insur
ance, the same to be under the control
of the insurance department. To il
lustrate: When the township trustees
assess the property, direct them to take
the applications of the various individ-
uaIS in their respective townships or
cities, giving the amount of fire insur-
ance they desire to carry, the length of
time Ghe classification and rates haV-
ing been prepared prior to this time by
the insurance department, based upon
the statistics in this office of the fire
insurance companies doing business in
the state during the last preceding
year,, etc. AT all other times the ap-
plication can be made to the county
clerk. Money can be appropriated
from the general fund, to be placed in
an insurance fund, until such time as
the amount collected is sufficient to pay
the running expenses, including losses
incurred, and then the same can be re-
turned, the money to be collected by
taxation the same as other taxes.
IF legislation of this kind is enacted
in my judgment it will have this result:
Parties who receive the benefits of in
surance of this kind will obtain the
same for at least half what they now
pay, and it will compel insurance COM
panies to furnish insurance at actual
cost, or lose the entire business. This
IS clearly proven by statistics furnished
by insurance companies transacting
business in this state, taking into con-
sideratiOn the amount of premiums
they receive and the amount of losses
they pay each year. It would retain
the money at home instead of sending it
abroad
He also recommends legislation plac-
ing fraternal insurance companies on
the same basis as other insurance
companies, and rendering void all poll
cies written by insurance companies
not authorized to do business in the
state.

AMERICAN RAG.
"Shall Never Float Over Ma

Madrid, May 2S.-In the senate today
Marshal Primo de Rivera, former cap
tain general of the Philippines, defend
ed his administration of the colony. He
said he could not believe his ears, when
he was told of the disaster at Cavite,
adding. That rag called the American
flag shall never float over the walls OF
Manila
THE Philippines" he continued, had
not had an adequate means of Defense.
He appealed to the government to sup
ly them; but the government replied
that the pope had interviewed and that
there was no fear of a rupture. The
naval committee at Manila examined
into the position carefully and reached
the conclusion that it was quite fmpos-
sibIe to offer battle to the Americans.
1.-The Yankees are deceiving them
Selves Marshal de Rivera declared,
las to the situation at the Philippines.
1t is absolutely impossible that they
should become masters of the islands,
are determined to defend the territory
to the last and to maintain Spanish
sovereignty
Captain Aunon, minister of marine,
said it was inopportune to discuss the
war at present. He had neither ap-
prevail nor diSapprOval to express of
Marshal de Rivera's administration,
but he considered it necessary to exer-
else a certain reserve in the interest of
the country.

BIRDS EYE VIEW.
Balloon Suggested as Means of Lo-
eating Cervera-

Washington, May 2S.-The possibility
that the balloon can be made a useful
adjunct of the war is suggested by the
problem that confronts Commodore
Schley If Admiral Cervera is really
bottled up in Santiago harbor. A
practical way of ascertaining that fact
beyond all doubt was suggested to-
day would be to send up a balloon from
one of the war ships which are sup
posed to be at the mouth of the har-
Dor on a tour of observation. This IL
is believed could readily be done with
out any great risk or danger to the
persons in the airship-
The signal office has a ballon equip
ment but it could not be ascertained
that any of the vessels of the fleet are
furnished with it. From the experience
of the past there would be no trouble
in initiating a balloon which soaring at
an elevation of 1000 feet or more could
have ample opportunity of observing
the entire stretch of country surround
ing Santiago harbor, or of detecting the
strength of the Spanish squadron ana
OF noting with considerable detail all
the fertilization works on either side OF
the harbor leading to the city. Such
information as might be obtained, it
is pointed out, would be of fnest1ma bic
value to the American fleet and enable
it to act intelligently in determining
what future operations were desirable;
balloons have been tried with more
or less success in European countries
in army operations, although it is not
stated whether they have ever been
put to practical use in actual warfare
However, experience abroad has shown
that when high in the air, they are
practically free from the guns of the
opposing force as it is with the greatest
d ifficulty that an accurate range of
their height can be obtained and even
then specially constructed weapons are
needed for destroying them, the pos
session of which it is thought here the
Standards do not have.

UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
Detailed Call for Troops Not Yet Pre-
pared.

Washington, May 28.-The statement
was made at the war department that the
call the governors of the states for
their apportionment of troops under the
second call would not be issued until some
time next week. There are many details
that remain to be agreed upon before the
call is made, and besides there is con-
siderable work to be done in connection
with the equipment, assignments of troops
under the first call for 125,00 men.
1t is understood that no final decision
has yet been reached as to the precise
manner in which troops under the second
call are to be raised or whether the JOG
regime of volunteers already mustered
shall be recruited to their maximum
strength before any other new regiments
are organized. Army officers contend
that this should be done a matter of
efficiency, and that section seven of the
volunteer act requires it.

WILL PAY IT BACK.
Government Will Reimburse the
State at Once.

Governor Leedy has received in
formation from Washington that the
government will reimburse the state
for the money expended for the first
three Kansas regiments next week.
Over $3.50 was paid out in recruiting
and caring for the volunteers of the
three regiments, and only little over
81, 600 now remains in the hands of the
state trea surer for military purposes.
The reimbursement by the govern
ment for the first expense will enable
the state to raise the other two regi-
ments. The money now on hand is
not sufficient to defray the expense.
