FOrtitude

Independence, July "A special bond
election has been announced by the mayor
of independence for July 10. The citizens
will on that day decide whether or not
they want to vote $4,000 in railroad aid
construction bonds to the new Kansas,
Oklahoma Central & Southwestern rail-
road.
The proposed bonds are to bear 5 per
cent interest and be redeemable in twenty
years. OF the $13 900, $1,000 are to be paid
when the road runs from Cherryvale to
BartIesville; $1,000 when the road is COM
pleted and operated fifty miles south of
Havana; the remaining $4,000 when 100
miles are completed an doperated south
of Cherryvale, the proposed northern ter
minus.
It is a condition of the bonds that the
company build a depot within $500 feet OF
the corner of Main street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue in the city of Independence.
The bonds are not to be issued until the
company shows valid contract with the
Santa Fe for the privilege of running
over the Santa F'e from Havana to Cher-
ryvale-
Caney's special election for the same
purpose will be held July 10. The Cherry
vale election will probably be called this
week.
It is now evident that Cofreyville's
chancs of getting the road are ex
ceedingly slim. It has three towns at
work against it. No definite proposition
has been made to COffeyville on the sub
ject and the people seem to be Indifferent.

SHELL BALLOON.
Spaniards Indulge in More
Shooting in the Air.

New York, July "A dispatch to the
Press from Siboney, Cuba, June 80, via
Playa del Este, says:
For the first time in the history Of the
United States a war balloon was sent
up this afternoon, making observations
of incalculable benefit to General Shat
ter's forces in the field occupied by the
enemy, and over the doomed city Of
Santiago. Of all the "Reminiscences
made inside the Spanish lines by spies
from our army no information brought
back by them has been so valuable as
that obtained by the observers in the
balloon.
Since the disembarking of the troops,
and the advance made toward Santi-
ago, members of the signal corps have
been anxious to try the balloon, and
today permission was given to use it.
Preparations for sending up the airShip
We're speedily made, the hydrogen gas
generator for charging it was brought
out, and the wagon containing the reels
for the wire cable which was to hold it
captive was put together.
When everything was ready two
members of signal corps entered the
car, guy ropes were released and the
balloon, looking like some monster en-
dowed with life, shot up into the air,
while the soldiers cheered their com
rades who were going on q. mission full
of peril.
elevated space, not far from General
Skaters headquarters, near SibOney.
While it scared in the air, seeming to al
most touch the cIOudleSS sky, fully
1,S0O feet above ground, it was in plain
view Of the American army and the
men on warships lying off the coast.
They watched it with the greatest inter
est, and, no doubt, it was with mixed
feelings of wonder and fear that the
officers and men in the Spanish army,
in Cervera's fleet, and the people in
Santiago viewed it soaring over the
territory held by them.
The men in the balloon were soon
aware that they had been sighted by
the Spaniards, for messengers ran about
and shots from machine guns, were
aimed at them. The sWaying motion
of the huge gas bag and the effect Of
the gravity, however, prevented any Of
the projectiles from hitting it, and the
Spaniards soon gave up, evidently not
wishing to waste ammunition.
Everything that could be desired was
to be seen by the men in the balloon.
In the harbOr of Santiago Cervera's
ships swung placidly at anchor and
now and then launches could be seen
passing back and forth among them.
With their telescopes the Spanish war
ships, the camps and the city were
brought into close range, but all the
information gained is in the possession
of General Shafter and some of the
mem bers of his staff.
Sketches and maps were drawn show
ing the enemy's location.

ANTICIPATE coNoUEsTs.
Manila Thinks Merritt May Take the
Caroline Islands En- Route.

New York, July "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Hong Kong says:
Conditions at Manila, according to
latest advices, remain substantially I'M
changed. The insurgents have invested
the city quite completely on the land
ward side and Admiral Dewey securely
holds the bay.
Between the two beleaguering forces
a. satisfactory understanding seems to
exist, so that there will be no attempt
at occupation of the city by the insur-
gents until Admiral Dewey gives the
word, and that will not be until the
first detachment of General Merritt'S
army arrives and is landed and can
march into the city to take control of
it and safeguard the life and property.
The foreign residents are somewhat
panic stricken at the close approach of
the insurgents, but there is no reason
to apprehend any emergency that will
call for or Justify the landing of ma
rines from the foreign warShipS for the
protection of the city.
The American ships and men are in
good condition and are in readiness for
an immediate movement upon the city
as soon as the troops arrive. That may
be any day. In fact, the ships are now
overdue, reckoning upon the basis Of
the speed made by them from San
Francisco to Honolulu. No uneasiness
is felt for their safety, however. There
are no Spanish ships in the Pacific that
could modest them.
The theory is widely held here that
they have stopped for few days on
their way to take possession of the
Caroline or the Marianne Islands. In
that case Admiral Dewey will feel amp
" repaid for the extra days Of waiting
he has to endure, and their belated ar
rival will be all the more welcome.

DAvITr WANTS TO KNOW.
Member of Parliament Wants Span
ish to Leave Port Said.

London. July I'm the house Of
commons Michael Davitt asked whether
article of the Suez canal convention
stipulated the warships of be1ligerents
should remain over "a hours at Port
Said; whether the Spanish ships had
been there since Sunday, and whether
Egypt or Great Britain was responsible
for this long stay.
The parliament secretary for the for
eign office, Mr.. CurzOn, in reply said the
provisions of the convention had never
been into operation and the question
5 was one primarily for the Egyptian
government, adding:
There seems to be good reason for
the course adopted in the present in
stance"
what are the reasons?'' asked Mr..
Davitt.
''I am not in the councils of the Egyp-
tian government said Mr.. Curzon in
reply.
Later Mr.. Curzon made a further
statement to the effect that there are
four British and five German warships
at Manila. He added that the British
commander in chief at Hong Kong was
satisfied that the British force was suf-
f1cient for the protection of the interests
of Great Britain and if this was not
the case the commander in chief at
Hong Kong was in a position to aug
ment the naval forces at Manila

HELMS CASE COMES UP
And the Hearing is Postponed Until
July II.

The case of the State VS.. Fletcher
Helms came up for preliminary hearing
this morning before Justice w s McCiin-
took. Helms bondsmen, Lodge & Colvin
of North Topeka, asked to be released
from their bond, which was granted. The
case was continued days, or until July
IL.
Helms had to secure new bondsmen. He
went in charge of a deputy constable up
near Rossville. his home, where he ex-
pected to obtain bail. The charge against
him is obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. It may be changed to that Of
malfeasance in office.
Helms is the deputy sheriff who was
caught in the act of taking $50 as hush
money from a low woman Smoky
Row on the strength of a fraudulent war
rant. He was confronted with the evil
dence by Sheriff Cook and confessed his
guilt, and announced that he would COM
nit suicide before he would go to the PEN
itentiary- Later he employed attorneys
and it is understood will fight the case.

THE POST SNARLS.
English Newspaper Critieises
American Action.

London, July 2.-The unanimity with
which the British newspapers have
been praising the United States lately,
those like the Saturday Review, that III
the beginning were so hostile, having
either changed their tone or been silent,
is again disturbed by the snarling edi-
torial OF the Morning Post, which news
paper, in addition, prints a letter pro-
testing against Great Britain's help
to America" and declaring that 1t
should be known that at the critical
turning point in the struggle between
Spain and the United States it is Great
Britain that was influencing and de-
termining the issue.
The letter also declares that on Sun
day last in Washington, the day after
Col. John Hay, the United States am
bassador had had long interview with
the premier, the Marquis of Salisbury,
Mr.. John Long, the American secretary
of the navy boosted that Admiral Ca
mara's fleet would not be allowed to
pass through the canal. If" the letter
continues, the position of the American
forces in the Pacific is considered of
Importance this decision will at once
become manifest. -Four unarmored
cruisers lie in Manila bay, weed-grOwn,
after two months of inactivity in trOpi-
cal waters, and desperately short of
ammunition and coal. In the mean
white. three small military expeditions
which left San Francisco, are struggling
across. An active commander with
force such as Admiral Camara has
would of course nave the WnOle Amer
lean position in the Pacific at his mer-
cv The American government is aware
Of this and when it found that threats
of an immediate attack on the Spanish
coast, were unsuccessful, it appealed to
the British government to stop Admir-
al Camara's fleet.
The special correspondent OF the
Times in Berlin says that the angry
protests of the Cologne Gazette and
Lokal Anzeiger against America
presuming to dictate to Admiral Won
Diedrichs (the German naval command
er at Manila) as to how he should act
were called out by the statement made
by the Evening Post Of New York, that
an agreement in regard to Admiral Won
Diedrichs' attitude had cen reached
and a conference between Secretary
Day and DR.. Won Holleben, the German
ambassador at Washington.
The Cologne Gazette says:
Admiral Won Diedrichs requires no
instructions from Washington in regard
to what he is to do or to leave undOne.
So long as he does not interfere so as to
obstruct or promote the enterprises of
either of the belhgerents, neither Ad-
miraI Dewey, nor Secretary Day is
competent to give him any directions
whatever. In like manner the German
government will not concern itself as to
the measures which Spain or America
may adopt for the maintenance of their
interests in the Philippine islands"

GREAT DREIBUND.
Germany, France and Russia
Plan Interference in the
Philippines.

Berlin, July 2-On the best authority
the correspondent here of the Associa-
ted Press, is informed that Germany
France and Russia have reached an
understanding relative to the Philip
pine islands It is said these three
powers do not intend to actively inter
fere until hostilities cease, after which
they will combine to prevent the United
States or Great Britain gaining posses
sion of the whole of the Philippine is
lands. When the war is over an inter-
national congress will be proposed SIM
liar to the Berlin congress of 1873 to
settle all questions connected with the
war. All great powers will be asked
10 join, including the United States and
Spain. It appears certain that Germany
will demand a slice of the Philippine is
lands, or other compensation in the far
east.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has received confederation of the
above facts from authentic sources.

FIGHTING At MANILA.
Dewey Saves Life of an Insurgent
Chieftain.

Hong Kong, July 2.-According to pri-
vate letters from Cavite, dated June
q, the insurgents occupy the whole of
Bulucan province. Occasional skirm
ishes occur. The insurgents captured
the Spanish ship Behul in Kayabao
Bay, while she was landing 500 troops.
A stubborn fight occurred, in which the
Spanish commander. a lieutenant col
onel was killed. The insurgents have
captured the governor of Bulucan to-
gether with his wife and children.
General Aguinaldo placed under ar
rest the rebel leaders Artachio and
Sandico for having revealed the fact
that the steamer Pasig, recently seized
by the Hong Kong authorities, was la
den with arms for the insurgents. San
dico applied to Consul Williams and
was liberated. He is now on board the
Nanshan. It is feared that the incident
will cause a split in the insurgent par
ty, Sandico being influential and the
only insurgent leader capable of admin
istration
The insurgents fear that Gen. Aguin-
aldo will shoot Artachio unless Admiral
Dewey interferes as he is suspicious
that Sandico and he intends to form an
OppOSitiOn party.

IMMENCE FEES.
California Lawyers Break all State
Records.

San Francisco. July 1.-Two contracts
Involving the payment of the largest in
dividua1 fees for legal services ever
paid in California have been fled for
record in this city.
The contracts in question are be-
tween Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia
Fair, daughters of the late James G.
Fair, and the legal firms of Lloyd and
Wood and CARRIER, Bishop and Wheeler.
The indentUres call for the payment
to each OF the firms per cent of the
portions of the ladies named of the ss-
tate of James G. Fair. This aggregates
about $3.50, 900 to be paid each firm, pro-
vided the trust will be declared inval-
Id. In the event a contrary action re-
suits, per cent of the income of the
property shall be paid to the attorneys
for seven years after the decree Of dis

The trust will having been declared
valid, the first provision of the con-

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St., 1nd1anaPo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
CONSUMPTION. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work His lungs are sound,
ard his weight greater than at any time
in his life His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
