business about the first of the year.
The machinery will be here by the

the new mill will be $50 barrels per
day, about double that of the present
plant. All the wheat used by this firm
is purchased from farmers in the i'm

creased output of the mill will cause
greater demand for cereals. The mill
when in full operation will use $50
bushels of wheat per day and this in

cereals, an industry not to be sneezed

concerned, as it is conceded by his
workers that the senate viii stand 19

His majority must come from the
house If the opposition shows tomor-
row the strength that it claims today
and casts all it's votes for one man,
there will be an election, as it would
then have a majority in both houses on

one week ago today.
The opposition still claims the house

Joint ballot against Hanna But even
after the members are all recorded IN
their respective houses on the roll calls
of Tuesday, there is nothing to prevent
any of them changing their votes on
Wednesday when the minutes of the
proceedings of the previous day are

FOG DELAYED TRAINS.
Santa Fe Train Dispatchers Have
Trouble With the Wires.

The fog this morning caused no little
trouble in the Santa Fe train dispatch
er's office. The heavy fog set in about
4:30 and caused induction. The mes
sages We're mixed and the dispatchers
were kept busy keeping track of the
trains as best they could.
In eastern Missouri and Illinois the
fog was worse than here, but the Tope-
ka office had considerable trouble in
communicating with EmpOria and Kan
sas City.
For a long time No. 1 and no. 5
were lost as far as the Topeka Office
was concerned, and whether they were
on time or not could not be told Ic
was 1880 before the wires were
Strengthened out and any authentic
word could. be given about the trains.
The dispatchers managed to keep the
trains moving and there was no delay
from the fog.
Some trains lost a few minutes, as
the engineers ran with caution in some
places but on the whole trains were
reported on time.
No. was reported 10 minutes late,
but the time was made up before To-
peka was reached, and when Engineer
'Cappie'' Sharp pulled into Topeka he
was about on time.

FL Dorado Silver League En-
dOrses McNa1 and Boyle and
Turns Down Stryker and
HeflebOWer.

Augusta, Jan. 10.-The Butler Coun-
ty Bimetallic league held meeting in
this place Saturday to elect delegates
to the state convention. The delegates
were elected without incident but a
redhot time was started when the fol-
lowing resolutions were offered for con-
"ResoIved, That we heartily indorse
the manly course of Attorney General
Boyle.
Resolved, That we endorse the
course of the gallant Webb AIcNall.
'ResOlved, That we will do nothing
to close the door of opportunity to the
struggling poor of our state; and be
lieving that William A. Stryker has
thrown obstacles in the way of the
poor struggling teachers Of the state,
we will not support him if his name is
placed upon the ticket in the coming
election.
''Resolved, That believing there are
intelligent men in the state Of Kansas,
capable of, and willing to fill the differ
ent state offices, that we are opposed
to the custom of placing incompetents
in public position, and for that reason
we are opposed to David HefebOwer
for state treasurer; and if his name
should be placed on the state ticket we
will use all honorable means to defeat
his election in November
The resolutions endorsing Boyle and
AGcNa1l were adopted not without some
opposition however. The resolutions
condemning Stryker and Hefiebower
were the ones that provoked the real
row. Stryker and Heflebower had some
defenders in the meeting. After being
thoroughly debated the vote was taken
and resulted in a tie. requiring the vote
OF the chairman to defeat them.
It is said that the opposition to Mr..
Hef1ebower came from friends of W. H.
Biddle who were still sore at Mr.. Bid
dies defeat for the nomination of state
treasurer at the last Populist state
convention. This is the first word of
public criticism that has been heard
against Treasurer Hef1ebower.

WHAT A FIX!
Not GunpOWder Enough in the
Country to Last
Thirty Minutes if Our Big War
ships We're All Engaged,
AND WORST OF IT is
It Would Take Year to Get
Enough
For Another Battle After First
One Was Fought.
AND WORST OF IT Is

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-A special from Wash
ington says:
Uncle Sam is short of powder for his
high power guns. After 9hfs warships shall
have fired away with the powder they
have on board, which they would do in
the course of a ten hours battle, there
would be left in the entire country barely
enough to supply them for a thirty min
utes' combat.
And it would take the powder mills of
the United States, with their present ia
cilities nearly year to produce enough
powder to supply the ships for another
ten hours battle.
Such is the substance of a report made
to Secretary Long by the board of ord
nance and fortifications, which has rec
commended the immediate building of a
government powder factory, by which the
cost of supplying this powder could be
greatly reduced. Ordinary powder. it
must be understood, will not do for high-
powered guns. There is plenty of this
and plenty of fine blasting powder. but
very little rified cannon powder.
This last is made by only two factories
in the United States, one in Delaware and
one in California, both of them of very
limited capacity. Hence the Importance
of having in store enough to meet all
possible demands of war until more could
be manufactured.

no answer to her call She went to
the kitchen, expecting to find her there,
but was Mortified to see in the dim light
at her feet the PROSTATE body of her
sister. Supposing she had tainted, she
called Mr. Nash. He took the body of
his wife in his arms, and as he raised
the head, there was gush of blood
from a wound in the temple. and then
he saw the revolver which had fallen at
the side of her head. He carried the
limp form of his wife into the room
where their child lay, calling in vain for
her to speak to him.
A half hour later when Dr.. Buckmas-
ter arrived, he said:
There is no use. Nothing can be
done''

DR.. Storrs We're also called, but they
all said:
'She can last but a few hours and
may die any moment"
At IL o'clock their words were veri-
fed, as, with a gasp, the life went out.
The bullet had cut it's way through the
base of the brain and had lodged be-
hind the left ear just under the skin.
Mr.. Nash has spent the greater part of
his life in Topeka. He met Miss Effie
Hively while he was at Nortonville. She
was a beautiful girl. Mr.. Nash secured
a position in st. Louis and he and his
wife moved to that city soon after their
marriage. There their child was born
seven weeks ago.

and will arrive in two weeks to assume
his new duties. Rev. Mr.. Sykes is 80
years of age. He and his wife are ma

One of his accomplishments is his tai

Toledo, but was called to the larger
church which he now leaves for his new
field of work
There was g. large list of candidates
for the deanship of Grace Cathedral
and the official board in conference
with Bishop NilIspaugh used great care
in making the selection. It is thought
that Dean Sykes will be most success
full in his new charge, as he has built
up the church with which he has been
connected in a substantial way. Grace
Cathedral has been without a dean for
several months since the resignation Of

hope to complete the subscriptions to

contract for the Hamilton building to-

question discussed. 1t is the desire of
the mem bers to give an entertainment
of some kind that will raise the entire
amount necessary for the expenses of
the convention and in this way avoid
the necessity of calling upon the merch-
ants who subscribed to the guarantee
fund for any of the money. It is not
