Whereas. The organization known as

money from the various posts, Ladies
OF the w. r. c. and Ladies of the G..
A. r. in the state we ask that the citf-
zens of Topeka be liberal in their aid to
this object, and that comrades win vol
unteer to accompany the young ladies in
soliciting small sums from the business
men of the city: and we believe that
the Commercial club would be wise to
lend their cOuntenance sand aid, as
present indications in the shape of hun
dreds Of letters from all over the east,
point to the fact that the presence of
this company of Kansas cadets at the
encampment will add to the lustre of
the great state that always takes the
initial step. Be it further

CAN'T STOP LAUGHING.
julius Mattas, a Chicago Laborer, In
q Sad Plight.

Chicago, Aug. S-An interesting
clinic will be held at the county hospi-
tai today, when the most up-to-date
fruits of scientific research will be
brought to bear by the physicians at the
institution in an endeavor to discover
whether Julius MaItRs, 351 West Eigh-
teenth street, pored too deeply into the
pages of some joke book. or whether
it is because of something which he
swallowed that he is unable to cease
laughing.
Mattas is a laborer. Last evening he
surprised members of his family by
bursting forth in peals of laughter His
mirth appeared to be unceasing, and
after an unremitting spell of half an
hour Mrs. Mattas became alarmed and
sent for neighbors. Still Mattas laugh
ed
The situation began to look grave in
the eyes of his anxious friends; but still
Mattas laughed. The police were
called and Mattas, still laughing bois-
teriOusly, was assited into the blue
wagon. At the hospital a stern-faced
physician looked gravely at the mirth-
full patient and said he thought it must
be case of poisoning, but Mattas still
laughed.
At an early hour this morning Mattas
was unconscious but still laughing, and
those who attended him were non
plusSed.

have bought the imported gloves here
but also can underseI European man
ufacturers abroad.
"Of course the main purpose of the
trust is to eliminate the expenses of
manufacture and sell wherever we can.
Instead of sending fifty drummers to
one small town, we shall send one. In
stead of running four stores in New
York, one will be enough Just now
from 800 to 1900 different styles of
gloves are made. Under consolidation
this number can be Immensely reduced
and vast sums can be saved.
For years the manufacturers have
received less than 10 per cent of the
net profits of the glove trade The
balance has been divided between the
jobber and the retailer. The jobber, too,
has been a source of much expense as
in many cases the manufacturers have
had to advance the capital to carry
him along and this has been a great
hardship. Profits which heretofore
have gone to the non-producing middle
men will be saved and we believe that
the trust will result in saving to the
consumer at least 10 per cent in the
price paid for goods"

MIR. BOWES' SUGGESTION.
Thinks State Printing Law Requires
an Amendment
To the Editor of the Journal:

To the Editor of the Journal:
Allow me to comment a charge
made IN the Journal against the as
sistant secretary Of state having perpe-
trated an error Of some $500 in the state
printers bill for the issue Of the school
laws compiled by Superintendent Stry-
ker. The amount could never have
been allowed had not the state printer
made out a bill for the amount. If
through error he made the Overcharge,
he will no doubt refund the amount.
The assistant secretary Of state, like
most of his predecessors, was not
practical printer. He may have been
an excellent accountant, but of the in
tricacies and technicalities of the scale
of fees for the state printer, he probably
knew very little. The present Secre-
tary of state is an old printer, and is
competent to read the law intelligently
both in the interest OF the state and in
fairness to the state printer The
secretary of state,o his assistant, ought
to be a printer or just such mistakes
as have been made in the Parks case
are likely to occur again.
The error under consideration ought
to be, and no doubt will be, suggestive
to the present secretary of state. The
state printers fee bill needs revising.
1t is capable Of interpretations alike
unjust to the state and to the printer
Hitherto the printer seems to have been
dealt generously with.
The state of Illinois is having it's
printing and binding done by contract
The state printer expert has to make
a most liberal measurement in the mat
ter of composition to give the contractor
a. reimbursement of the cost of his
work. The result is that the appear
ance of the state publications in some
cases is simply disgraceful to the state
that issues them.
If the present secretary of state
would proceed to initiate a. measure for
enactment by the legislature, instead
of simply recommending changes, as to
the law affecting the state printer, as
predecessors
done, he might obviate some of the diff
hculties which former officials have had
to contend with, and remove a possibil-
ity of rash and ill-cOnsidered legisla-
ton at a future day, on the spur of the
moment.

THERE WILL BE NO WAR.
Ambassador Joseph II. Choate Has
Said It

London, Aug. s.-Joseph H. Choate,
the United States ambassador to Great
Britain, was interviewed today by a
representative of the Associated Press
in regard to the recent war or arbitra-
ton speech delivered by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the Canadian premier. He
said:
There will be no war. Tt is safe to
say that no amount of talk by poll
ticians in this country could create war
in this connection" The ambassador
continuing said that the Canadian
parliament was on the eve of dissolu-
ton and the leaders of both parties
had to speak. Mr.. Choate seemed to
think that the latter circumstance ex-
planned Sir Wilfrid Laurier's position
and he was inclined to attach small i'm
portance to the preLnier's remarks. Mr..
Choate added that the negotiations
were progressing, but" he explained,
they are always slow and I can say
nothing at present as to their status"

ANOTHER DELAY
In the Garter Case, Due to Absence of
His Attorney.

Washington, Aug. Sin speaking of
the Captain Carter court martial case,
the testimony in which was referred by
the president to the department Of JUS
tice for review some time ago, Attor-
ney General Griggs who returned to-
day from a short vacation, said that in
all probability he would not reach a
formal conclusion in the matter until
Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh, counsel for Cap
tain Carter, had been given an oppor-
tunity to be heard
Mr. MacVeagh is now in Europe by
the advice of his physician. but is ex-
pected to return to the United States
later in the present month. The work
of reviewing the testimony is now well
advanced and it is the expectation of
the officials that a conclusion will be
reached before the close of next month.

A CONVERTED AGNOsTIC
Will Burn His Costly Library In the
Toledo Streets.

Chicago, Aug. S.-A special to the
Chronicle from Toledo, O., says:
On the evening of August Is, in the
middle of the street in front of the
Memorial United Brethren church in
this city, the elegantly bound volumes
which compose the library of Marshall
o. Waggoner, formerly one of the most
pronounced agnostics in the world, will
be burned. He was recently converted
to Christianity and made a public dec
laration of faith a. few weeks ago and
became a. member of the United Breth-
ren church. The library in question is
valued at several thousand dollars and
the volumes are the works of some of
the brightest and brainiest authors of
the world. Nearly every author of any
note who wrote in defense of inf1delity
and agnosticism found a place for his
works in Mr.. Waggoner's library.

WHY DOUBT
When Such Results Are
Produced at Our Own
Home.

Tt is hard to understand what this
century will accomplish before its end.
New ideas spring up all the time; un-
less they are understood it is hardly
creditable. 1t is not wonderful to those
that understand them; but to those
that do not, they will ask each other,
Is it possible that such results have
been accomplished?
Mrs. King. who lives at SIS Lime
street whose husband has been en-
pIoyed for the last eleven years in the
pumping station at the Santa Fe shops,
has been going blind. When she dis
covered her affiiction she went to take
treatment with a DOCTOR and treated
for three months. During the treat
ment she found no Improvement
at all She not only suffered with
blindness, but she suffered untold agony
in her head. The pain was almost un-
bearable Everything was tried even
to relieve the pain, without success
Doctors remedies Of all kinds were tried
and no relief would come. She stated
to a reporter who called at her resi-
dence to learn of her wonderful recoV-
cry, that she knew that she was losing
her eyesight and knew also that no
help was for her. But to suffer with
such excruciating pain is enough to
make a person commit suicide. But,
thank God, she said, can see now, and

was no help for that poor woman, but
said he, don't tell her, but he will try,
he said He succeeded in making others

can't see as well as 1 used to, she
said, but think how blind 1 was, ana
now I go anywhere, and how thankful
ought we to be to have such man IN
