J. V. BECK MAN DEAD.
brilliant Kansas Lawyer ana Politician
No More


ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, July III.
Y. Beekman, politician and lawyer,
died last night under circumstances
which will lead to an investigation.
At about half past 10 o'clock last night
woman giving her name as May Mil
Ter notified the police that Judge
Beekman was dead at her house. The
police found the body in the woman's
room, but have not decided whether
he died from natural causes or COM
mitted suicide.
j. V. Beekman's besetting sin was
whisky, and it pursued him all
through life. Originally lawyer of
fine promise and attainments, he
abandoned that profession and fled to
the pulpit in the hope of overcoming
his sin. But still it pursued him,
until finally he was expelled from the
ministry and to retrieve his fallen
fortunes he came to Kansas, settling
in the practice of law in Chautauqua
county. He soon attracted attention
in Kansas by his power of oratory
and kindly nature, but the evil drink
threw him down again, and his career
in the state has been marked by re-
peated dissipation.

pected vessel The passengers who
arrived on the Nippon Maru are still
detained at the Angel island quaran-
tine station.

Upon.

UPON
BEvIER, Mo-, July AT sunrise
yesterday morning another consign-
ment of negroes arrived at mine No. 81
of the Kansas and Texas Coal COM
pany to take the place of strikers.
AS near as can be learned there were
10n persons from the South. At
3 o'clock John II. ward, vice
president of the Nor, stern Coal
company, who was attending the
conference at Bolivar between miners
and operators, arrived in the city and
posted schedule, properly signed,
which practically ends the strike in
Missouri with all coal companies in
the state, with the exception of the
Kansas e. Texas Coal company. The
miners here are very jubilant over the
result, which they claim is grand
victory for the union contract.
The agreement provides for pay
ment on the mine run basis, except at
Vandalia. The prices range from
fifty-fve cents at Bevier and Rich Hill
to 81 at Marceline, and for the arbi-
tration Of all disputes.

RETURN OF VOLUNTEERS.
Every Nerve to BE Strained to Get Them
Away From the Philippines

Every Nerve to BE Strained to Get Them
Away From the Philippines
WASHINGTON July Under direct
orders from the president, every nerve
is to be strained to get the volunteer
regiments away from the Philippines
without days delay. Even the i'm
portant work of sending reinforce
ments is to be considered secondary to
the necessity of returning the volun-
teers. The president feels that they
have been kept too long already and
is anxious to see the last man home
ward bound.
To facilitate the work, the admins
tration has ordered transports to
clear from San Francisco as soon as
they can be made ready for sea,
whether there are recruits ready or
not. They will take reinforcements
when there are any ready to sail, but
after arrival will hasten back for vol
unteers, without regard to the new
recruits for Otis. The President has
also authorized the purchase Of two
new transports, which will be put
into the regular service as soon as
they can be equipped. After the vol
unteers are returned the transports
will carry back full loads of regulars
and when they are landed will return
for new volunteers.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July IA strike
was inaugurated at the Homestead
Steel works yesterday which may
rival the famous battle between CAPT
tai and labor which was fought on
that famous spot seven years ago.
The discharge of fifteen men at the
plant during the past three weeks is
at the bottom of the trouble. These
men were dismissed because CT their
utilization with the newly formed
lodge of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton.
The strike, of whatever proportions
it may be, was prccipitated when a
committee of nine men, who sought
the reinstatement of the discharged
men, were also discharged for the
same reason. Superintendent Corey
informed the men that no organized
men would be retained, though it be-
came necessary to close down the en-
tire plant

MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY,
Harry Tandy of Creighton, Mo-, Killed
at Mcfarland, Kan

at Mcfarland, Kan.
MCFARLAND. Kan, July LIN Mill
creek, not far from the Rock Island
water tank at this place, a tramp yes
terday found the body of Harry
Tandy. The head and shoulders were
above water. On the right side of his
head was frightful cash, and the
base of the skull had been beaten to
pulp by coupling pin. He was alive
when found and lived until this morn
ing without regaining consciousness.
Letters in the young mans pocket
revealed his name and indicated that
his father lived at Crayton, Mo. The
father was notified and Geographic
description in response established
the murdered mans identity. Mr..
Tandy said his son had started TO beat
his way to Wichita, where employ
ment awaited him. He had some
money and n gold watch when he left
home. The watch was gone when the
body was found and 45 cents was all
the money in his pockets, which justi-
fies the belief that robbery was the
motive for the crime.
Tandy was seen in company with
another white man at Mcfarland.
Later they were seen paying a game
of cards with two negroes near the
water tank Both of the white men
were fairly we'll dressed The theory.
is that the negroes murdered both
white me1 Ior THAR money and valu-
ables. Mill creek is being dragged
for many rods in both directions for
the body of the other white man. The
negroes have disappeared and posse
is hunting for them.

II a person who knows anything at
all about hog feeding was given
chance between a hog that would gain
% pounds in six weeks and one that
would gain 90 pounds in the same time
on the same feed, he would not be long
in choosing. During the past ten
months the Kansas experiment station
has fed 100 hogs that were bought of
| the farmers in the vicinity OF Manhat-
tan without regard to breed or breed
ing, just as they were, thrifty and
weighing in the neighborhood of 100
or 125 pounds. This class of hogs IL
used because those experiments arc for
the highest benefit of the farmers, and
by taking the stock they raisewe stay
within their conditions. A few con-
illusions may be drawn from the follow
| ing facts taken from observations of
feeding so head of hogs which were just
| finished. These hogs were nearer of the
same age than size. and ranged from
the long. big boned bacon hog, to
the short-boned chunk, according to
the care or csrelessness of the farm
er who raised them First, as to point
OF gain: The comparisons are Between
hogs fed the samein every respect. The
best and poorest five out of twenty
have the following showing: Best five,
weight at beginning of test 500 pounds,
gain 416 pounds, 20 per cent; poorest
five, weight at beginning of test $40
pounds, gain 235 pounds, 40 per cent.
This was for period Of AZ days, and
from observations made from week to
week, this difference of gain from a 1T
tie over one pound to practically two
pounds a day was largely due to the
breeding. A short, small-boned chunk
; will make good gains for n few weeks
. and then stop. 1t viii be fat and ready
for market. while a well-bred rangy
hog will fatten and continue to grow
and make good gains for a much longer
period Then SIS to the demand of ths
market: The three-rib shoulder is nov

which these cuts are made must b,
