Thursday to Mr.. GarretsOn. He said
that he was not feeling well and be
lieved that he would go home and take
His purpose was carried out but he
never awoke from the sleep.
Mr.. Randolph was one of the most IA
miliar figures in Kansas history. He
was elected attorney general of the
state when Thomas A. Osborn was chO-
sen governor and served two terms.
For Is years after that he was supreme
court reporter and nearly all the Kan
sas statutes bear the impress of his
hand Before elected attorney general
he served in the legislature. He was
succeeded as supreme court reporter by
G. c. Clemens when the Republicans
lost control of the supreme court. Since
then he has been passing his time in
reading and literary work.
Mr.. Randolph was a literary man of
ability. His most popular book The
Trial of Sir John FalStaff, had a large
sale. But it is for his work on the su-
preme court reports that he will best
be known He was somewhat eccentric.
He owned a very large library and
though he was a bachelor he rented a
large house and occupied it alone. He
had no housekeeper and took his meals
out. He had just completed arrange
avenue
It was at first thought that there
might have been foul play. but a care
full examination of the body indicated
that Mr.. Randolph had not died from
violence. An inquest is being held this
afternoon to determine the exact cause
of death.
Brief funeral services will be held at
the house, 1912 Harrison strae aeet, this
evening at z o'clock. Dean Sykes of the
Episcopal church will officiate. The
body will be taken to Mortonville where
Mr.. Randolph's brother lives, for burial.

Most heartrending stories of suffer-
ing in the hospitals, hunger in camp
and on the march are daily poured into
our ears in a form to impute blame to
the secretary of war. Tales about the
incompetency or brutality of some sur
geon or other, or the neglect of some
hospital nurse or other, are run through
the papers under scare headlines, ,charg-
ing or implying criminal mismanage-
nent to the head of the war depart
ment The papers of the class I men
ton having run out of the hot stuff
which the war, while it lasted, supplied,
now harrow the feelings of the whole
nation with extraVagant stories of suf-
fering among the soldiers caused by
incompetent mana cement. This is con-
temptfbIy mean. To begin, most all
these stories are false in my judgment,
and when the soldiers return home, as
they will in a few weeks, we will then
learn their falsity direct from the al
legged sufferers themselves.

HEAT RECORD BROKEN.

New York. Sept 2-Yesterday was

The highest point reached by the

swept dOwr on this region on Tuesday,
and it has grown hotter every hour

being "a degrees in the shade, and today
it was 2 degrees higher.
The heat was so great at Smelling,
where 1000 men of the 18th regiment
are in camp, that there were many
prostrations. Twenty-Five men have
been removed in the two days to the

BRIGHT FOR MRS. BOTKIN.
Grand Jury Can Find Nothing
against Her.

San Francisco, Sept. 2-Evidence was
presented to the grand jury in an at
tempt to secure the indictment of Mrs.
COrdelia BOtkin, on a charge of viOlat-
ing section BAT of the criminal code of
California, which makes it a felony to
send poisoned goods through the mails.
Chief of Police Lees and Detective Nc
Vey testified to the facts in their pos
session regarding the poisoning of Mrs.
J. P. Dunning and her sister, Mrs.
Deane at Dover, Del, by means of
poisoned candy sent from this city. They
presented no facts not already made
public. Mrs. Seeley, whose name has
case, denied knowing anything about
the candy. Mrs. Livernash, a newspa-
per writer, testified regarding her con-
VersatiOns with Mrs. Botkin, but pre-
sented nothing new. Mrs. Rauof, the
former nurse of Mrs. Botkin, was call
ed but her evidence failed to throw any
light on the. case. No action was taken
by the grand jury, which adjourned
consideration of the matter, subject to
the call of the district attorney.
The police have positively ascertained
that the box in which the poisoned
candy was mailed was purchased from
George Haas of this city. The box was
made by Jones & Co, of Philadelphia,
and Haas is the only man on the coast
using their boxes. Mr.. Haas has fully
identified the box placed in evidence,
but neither he nor his clerks can say
to whom it was sold.
Mrs. BOtkin positively denied that she
had ever bought any candy from Haas.

AN lNSURGENT RAID.
AguinaIdO's People Invade the
Southern Philippines.

Manila, Philippine Islands, Sept. g.
Several ship loads of insurgent troops
have invaded the southern islands with
the view of seizing everything possible
prior to the settlement of the peace
conditions. General Rios, the Spanish
is acting energetically, but the insur-
gents have captured the outlying is
lands of Romblon and Palawan, where
they found treasure to the amount of
$42, 900. The prisoners captured have ar
rived here.
Delegates from the Hong Kong insur-
gent junta are to have an interview
with United States Consul Williams to-
night and it is thought this may possi-
bly, result in a settlement of the insur-
gent question.

FIRE IN Her BUNKERS.
The Catania Arrives From San

New York. Sept. 2.-The transport Ca
tania which arrived this morning from
Montauk Point, landed a number of SICK
soldiers of various regiments from Sanu-
ago. During the voyage from Santiago
to Montauk the engineers of the trans
port found the coal in the after hold to
be on fire.
The matches were closed and the fire was
kept under control until the steamer
reached Montauk and discharged her sick
troops, when the chief engineer reported
the coal again on fire. The transport was
then ordered to proceed to this port to
unload the burning coal She has on
board 300 cases of cartridges, which will
be discharged Immediately.

of their availability and the general
climatic conditions.
Regular troops have been camped by
the side of the volunteers and no sick
among them. I do not wonder that the
death rate has been high in some in
stances. Several times I visited Camp
Aiger and looked carefully over the
place. At the edge of the camp I found
banana stands and places where beer
and pop and such stuff were sold to the
troops. This kind of stuff never helped
the volunteers.
Look at the task which has been per-
formed by the administration At the
outbreak of the war there was provis-
ions for $4,000 men. I am acquainted
personally with the heads of the war
department and 1 am positive thew

equip and arm this great army of 275.-

have been accomplished by any other
nation in the world. The war depa rt-

A. M. F. RANDOLPH DEAD
The Well known Ex-Supreme
Court Reporter and Writer
Expires While Asleep.

A NJ F. Randolph was found dead in
bed at his home, 1912 Harrison street,
this morning. by Capt. Spivey and N.
P Garretson. 1t is supposed that his
death was the result of heart failure.
He lived alone in the house and there
was no one with him when he died.
Mr. Randolph took his meals at Mr..
and Mrs. Spivey's home at the corner of
Eleventh and Topeka avenue. He did
not appear for supper last evening and
when he was still absent for breakfast
this morning Capt. Spivey feared that
there was something wrong and he
went to the house which Mr.. Randolph
occupied, in company with Mr.. Garret-
SON They broke the fastening on a
window and found Mr.. Randolph in bed
as if asleep. But he was cold in death.
He had undressed and the body was ly-
ing in a perfectly natural position, in
dicating that there had been no strug-
gle or suffering.

sufferings in army camps Mr.. Hanna
said:
It do not care to place the blame for

say, however, that the governors of the
different states appointed the volunteer
officers and we find that the illness
among the troops comes from the vol

must be the work of others. If they
fail in their duty he can only act after
the fact of failure has been brought to
