A MODEL SUNDAY CITY.
No Drinking or Gambling Allowed in
Dawson-Se dalian's Letter
From KIOndike.

Sedalia, Mo, Aug. Judge John N.
Daily, president of the Third National
bank, yesterday received a letter from
his son George, who left Sedalia in Feb
ruary last for Alaska. 1t was dated
Dawson City, July 4, and announced
that himself and companion, w L.
Bryant, of HarrisonvilIe, Mo, had ar
rived there that day after enduring ma
ny hardships. When Daily and Bry-
ant arrived it seemed that there was a
monster celebration going on. Upon
investigation they learned that while a
good deal of the ammunition was being
burned for patriotic effect, there was
still more of it being burned for the
purpose of eXterminating the dogs of
the town. A great number of CANNES
were killed, and those that were not be-
came panic stricken and ran into the
river, where they drowned.
Dawson, according to the estimate of
young Daily, is a city of tents and
boats. The town is well laid out, but
overshadOws everything else. The
streets are full of stumps, and travel
on them is not smooth. However, he
says, there are a number of subStan-
tial business houses going up, and the
town will no doubt be greatly improved
in a few months. The population is es-
timated at about 80 900. One thing that
impressed itself on Daily was the good
local government, which, he says, is
better than that in Sedalia. On Sun
day, Daily says, the town is far more
orderly than Sedalia, as there is not a
saloon nor gambling house allowed to
remain open. During the week, how
ever, there is plenty of gambling.

STOLE 100000 STAMPS
Trusted Clerk in Chicago Office
Disappears.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The postof1ce
officials have unearthed a daring theft
of postage stamps in the Chicago post
office. A total of 100, 900 1-cent stamps
have been stolen, and the thief, a trust
ed official of the postofhce at Chicago,
has decamped.
In 1896 the pOstoff1ce department was
notified by the Chicago pOstoffice that
it was short in and 2 cent stamps to
the amount of $4,000, and a supply equal
to that amount was sent. A short time
elapsed, when a telegram came from
the Chicago office announcing mistake
in the shipment. Instead of 81, 900 worth
of 2-cent stamps, but 81, 600 worth had
been received. A letter following the
telegram announced the mistake evil

purporting to contain 2-cent stamps,

ONLY ANAvAL STATION.
Senators Thurston and Daniel Don't
Want PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska, is in the city. He
says that he is not in favor of the re-
tentiOn of the Philippine islands by the
United States. q do not see what we
want of them. We do not want to ac-
quire several millions of such pOpula-
ton. We Should, in my opinion, re-
tain a naval station-an entire island
for this purpose would be preferable
and then relinquish all claim to the
rest of the islands. A suitable naval
station is all we could want there
The senator did not think peace was
far off.
Senator Daniel of Virginia was al
so in the city. When asked for his
views on the form the terms
of peace should take, Mr.. Daniel said:
81 think a naval station in the Philip
pines should be taken. If we should
take these islands we should take them
with their membranes, and we would
find ourselves poorer by having them
This country does not want to be land
poor. With a naval station there and
protection to our commercial rights we
will have all we want in those islands"

The President Will Call Con-
gress Together
As Soon as Spain Accepts Peace
Terms.
SENATE MUST RATIFY
And Some New Legislation is
Necessary
To Maintain An Army of Suffi-
cient Size.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The Post says:
President Mckinley will call an extra
session of both houses of congress as
soon as Spain accepts the terms of
peace offered by the United States.
1t has always been understood that
the senate would be convened as soon
as the treaty of peace was ready to be
acted upon by that body. The atten-
ton of the president has been called,
however, to a situation which makes
the assemblage of the entire congress
necessary. This situation is that under
the law which provided for the enlist
ment of the volunteer army the army
goes out Of existence as soon as the
war is over.
The developments of the war make it
evident that fully 100, 900 men will con-
tinue to be needed instead of being re-
turned to civil life. Under the law as
soon as hOstilities cease the volunteer
army is disbanded, and the regular
army goes back to its peace footing,
thus leaving only 27,000 men in the ser
the work that will be required In con-
to frame laws to fit this circumstance.
The president is naturally averse to
calling congress together during the
hot weather and it may be decided that
the war is not ended until the senate
has ratified the treaty. In this case
congress will not meet until the first
or middle of September as it will take
at least a month for treaty to be dis
cuSSed and framed.

TRAMPS KISS GIRLS.
Brave Rescuers Tie Them to Trees,
but They Escape.

Providence, Aug. miss Julia Har-
low and Miss Jane SwindIe, two pretty
summer boarders at Enfield, reported
to the police this afternoon thrilling
experiences they had with tramps last
night.
They were returning from a lawn
party in Granville, along the Enfield
road, through a short patch of woods,
when two tramps demanded a kiss
from each of them.
One accosted Miss Harlow and at
tempted to kiss her. while the other
seized Miss SwindIe. Both girls strug-
faces and screaming for assistance.
Miss Swindle tainted, and the tramp
who held her, thinking perhaps that she
was dead, ran away. Miss Harlow
was then released.
One tramp got Miss Swindle's purse
and the other was about to take her
watch when Miss Harlow picked up a
stick and struck him a hard blow over
the head.
Just at this time two young men, at
tracted by the girls screams, appeared.
They seized the tramps and bound
them to trees, after one tramp had
shot at them.
James Sweet, of LIMERICK, was left to
guard the prisoners, while Albert Shaw,
of PaWtuclzet, went for an officer. Shaw
was hardly out of sight when one of
the tramps whistIed peculiarly and two
knocked Sweet unconscious with a club
rifed his pockets and disappeared.
A posse was quickly organized by
Shaw upon his return. They pursued
the tramps to the Massachusetts line,
but did not OVertake them.

to arrest Nickum, the Logansport in

is in the second story of a building over

tected with iron bars. No one can get
near him, and it would take several Cat
ling guns to capture him if he should de-
eide to resist.

10 FIGHT DEMOCRATS.
Tobacco Men of Chicago Will Oppose
That Party.

Chicago, Aug. 2-Members of the
Cigar and Tobacco Merchants associa-
ton, who have been fighting to secure
the reduction of the cigarette license
from 800 to $40 a year, have declared
war on the Democratic party in Chica-
go and expect to enlist an army of
L, 900 to 5000 voters to work against
the ticket in the fall campaign.
The members of the association, after
sending a. petition to the council, signed
by 1000 dealers, asking for the reduc-
ton of the license, sent a delegation to
the license committee, to which the
matter was referred. The tobacco deal
ers received no satisfaction and claim
that Mayor Harrison refused to sus-
pend the collection of the license until
the supreme court renders it's decision
in the pending suit to test the constitu-
tionality of the ordinance.
In order to secure revenge the asso-
citation, at it's last meeting, unanimous
ly passed a resolution cOndemning the
license ordinance as unjust and calling
on the members of the organization to
use their efforts to defeat the Demo
cratic ticket.

New York, Aug. Hockey Tod
Sloan said today he should go to Eng
land this fall, but that he had made no
definite engagement as to whom he

My rest at Saratoga has completely re-

w L. Powers, agent for Marcus DAILY
said today that Sloan would ride for
Mr.. DAILY till he leaves for England,
whenever his services can be secured.
Though Mr.. Powers did not say any,
thing to this effect, it is probable that

Chicago Newsboy Returns With
Pockets Full of Yukon Gold.


Chicago, Aug. 2-John Carmody, IT.
year-old Chicago newsboy, bootblack
and traveller, has returned from the
Klondike to his home, 446 Milwaukee
avenue, with a small fortune. In gold
dust and nuggets he has wealth aggre-
eating $4,000, and has a claim in the
Yukon district which he says is not
worked out Johns visit to the old
neighborhood where he used to be

The boy to whom $4,000 a few years
ago would have been a vision, does not
know the value of money. His wealth
burns his pockets. His former play
mates and boys with whom he sold pa
pers are enjoying his hospitality Be
fore he shall return to the KlOndil1e in
the spring John declares he intends to
have a good time. Since his arrival
Friday night he has entertained ms
youthful comrades lavishly, spending
nearly 5000 on sweets and in taking par
ties to theaters.
Young Carmody reached Alaska by
slowing himself away in a steamer at
Seattle after having beaten his way
from Chicago on trains. He spent two
months in Skaguay and Dyea and in
that time made $4,000 selling papers at
81 so and 81 apiece. He spent the money
as fast as he made it. He says he also
sold papers in Juneau, Dawson City
and other places, and made large sums
of money. On one of his trips, he de-
clares, a number of rival neWsboys tried
to throw him overheard.
Young CarmOdy claims to have travel

perience. He journeyed once, he says,
through all the states and in Germany,
France and England, selling papers and
shining shoes.

GLANDS OFF" SAYS JONES.
Chairman of Democratic National
Committee Opposed to Annexation.


Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 2.-Senator
James K. Jones, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, who spent
today in Little Rock, expressed himself
freely on the Cuban, Porto Rican and
Philippine questions. He said:
I'VE began this war to secure the in
dependence of the Island of Cuba, and
when we shall have accomplished that
end, and Spain has Unidentified US for
this enormous war expense, our mission
will be done. We hold our position
among the powers of the world by rea-
son of the fact that we respect the
rights of others, and when we forget
that, through territorial greed, we shall,
and in justice, forfeit the respect Of
other nations.
The idea of imperialism in govern
ment is primarily founded upon greed
and avarice and cannot produce an
ideal government, or even that APP
preaching an ideal. Now I believe that
the greatest governmental crime Of the
age is the British rule in India, and if
we should follow this policy of relieving
the oppressed to its logical end, we
would give the British lions tail
twist over the Indian situation. This
is the reason, I believe, the United
States should not prostitute power to
greed and should make an effort to
maintain the proud position we have
ever held of being self-respecting and
respected.

DIED OF HOMESICKNESS.
Sad Case at Santiago = Men Die of
Homesickness- Women Never Do.


Homesickne ss-Women Never Do.
New York, Aug. 2.-Of nostalgia
that IS, sickness-Private Harvey
Atkins, OF Company I, Second Massa-
chusetts volunteers, died near Santiago
three days ago.
General Skaters pbvsieia0s wrote
the word nostalgia" in his report, as
they would have written fever or any
other designation of a deadly maIady,
without comment. Only in romances
of chivalry, one would have thought
soldier died of being in exile, but the
modern physicians know that romance
and reality are not different.
Private Harvey Atkins was a young
man reared on a farm in an old settled
district of Massachusetts. He had the
antique feeling that ones country is
limited between the house where one
was born and the cemetery where one
is to be buried.
He was tender, delicate the descend
ant of five generations of Massachu-
setts people attached to the soil. He
could not regard Santiago conquered
by the Americans as an American
home.
He had not the temperament Of
soldier to whom the capital OF his ma
tive country is the center of a circle,
with roads radiating to every other
capital. And then he was near San
tiagO
DR.. R. S. Tracy of the board of health
commenting upon the case of Private
Atkins, said yesterday: ''Homesick-
mental depression the inability to as
simulate food, and, consequently, weak
ness. Private Atkins died of heart
failure, caused indirectly by nostalgia
DR.. u. Taylor Emery, former health
commissioner, said: 'I was homesick in
Costa Rica, the climate of which is like
that of Santiago I know that one may
die of inconsistencies. In Costa Rica
was poor native of the Canary islands
who was always pining for his native
land. One day he fell on the road in a
daze. 1 went to pick him up and he
said: am dying of a broken heart
He was right. To die of nostalgia is
to die Of a broken heart. Yet I would
not have written on General Skaters
report the word nostalgia as a true
diagnosis of Private Atkinson's DEATH
DR. w. r. Ross said: Private Atkins
may have died of melancholia, and yet
the excitement and the work of the SOL
dier's life at the front should form the
best cure for melancholia that I know.
Nostalgia leaves no traces. It is a slow
sapping away of the nervous, mental
and physical strength. Congestion of
the brain or heart failure follows. I
have been homesick, and can realize
the affect of an aggravation of home
sickness"
Medical reference books do not con-
tain statistics of deaths from nostalgia
among men. It is frequent among wO-
men, but it is almost never fatal to
them. Private Atkins's death is re-
garded by physicians as most remark
able

since continued their warfare against
the league and possibly succeeded in
preventing a few cities from joining 1t.
The present total membership of the
league was reported as being II cities
and it is claimed that several other
cities which are represented in this
Joined, are about to do so. The indi-
Vidual membership amounts to about
5000, representing not less than IL, $780,
600 citizens.
Secretary GiIkeson reported that dur
ing the year mayors, cOuncilmen and
heads of city departments have been
supplied, through the leagues bureau
of information with information up
on a great variety of subjects pertain
ing to municipal affairs and questions
of policy.
The expenses of the secretary's office
were reported at 81, 024; total receipts
81, 2S0. The progress of the Organiza-
ton during a time when public interest
was almost completely absorbed by the
war would become known as a sub
stantial foundation upon which to build
a permanent organization of American
cities for the purpose of improving the
conditions of American civic life.
With the foundation already laid, the
organization should gather into it's
membership every important munich
pality in the United States and Canada
and with this force of unity it's accom-
plishment in the direction of better
municipal government should be so far
reaching as to aid in the personal well
fare of every person who pays taxes
and rent.
The report promised that with the
present membership of the league, the
work of the bureau of information can
be done more thoroughly and satisfac-
torily, and that its results will be still
more beneficial than heretofore.
Evening Session.
About 800 municipal officers had ar
rived and reported when the evening
session began. The principal feature
was an address by James A. L. Avery,
of POughkeepSie, president of the New
York state branch of the Federation of
Labor on relation of municipalities to
organized labor.
Governor Pingree, being called upon,
made an informal talk. The governor
made light of benefits which might re-
suit from the holding of the Philip
pines. He said he was sorry he had
heard nothing of any action of the adj
ministration against the monopOlies
which had become so strong and dan
gerous. He hoped that when the war
was over more attention might be CIV
en- to these threatening dangers. The
opportunities for the young man were
largely lacking now because the coun-
try had been catering, by its legislation
to the mOnOpOlies. The governor con-
Guided by advocating a universal eight
hour law.
