ELECTION AUGUST 90.
Discovered That It Cannot Be Held
Until That Date.

It has been discovered that it will be
impossible to hold the special election
to vote bonds for the city building on
August II, but it will have to be post
poned until August 26 This is to con
form with the provisions of the law
creating the office of commissioner of
elections
When Mayor Drew conferred with
Commissioner of Elections Yount to-
day regarding the time for calling the
election, Mr.. Yount called to the mayors s
attention the fact that the law provides
that the commissioner of elections must
give public notice two weeks in advance
OF the meeting of board of election
supervisors, and that the first session
OF the board must be ten days before
the election The election, therefore
can not be less than twenty-four days
attef the commissioner of elections
gives notice of the meeting of the board
OF election supervisors. This would
throw the date about August %, but as
II IS thought best to hold the election
on Saturday, Mayor Drew will issue his
proclamation for Saturday August 26.

new BUSINESS BLOCK.
Three Story Building to Be
Erected at Seventh and
Jackson Streets.

Arrangements are being made for the
erection of a three story building block
at the northeast corner of Seventh and
Jackson streets
The building will be so feet by 125
and will front on both Jackson and
Seventh street Tenants have already
been secured for the lower floor which
is to be used by business firms. The
upper floors viii be devoted to offices.
This is the property that formerly
belonged to John D. Knox It was alb
sorbed by the mortgage and has since
been held by the eastern investor. The
property was offered as a site for the
new city building but was not selected
because it was not considered large
enough.
Frank J Brown, who is agent for the
eastern owner, says that the new build
ing will probably be completed before
winter. 1t will cost about SIS, 900, ac-
cOrding to the present plans

WANT ANNEXATION.
People of One of the CaroIines
Petition Uncle Sam.

San Francisco, July 27.-The Can to-
day says:
The natives of the island of Kusale
In the Carolines. want to be annexed to
the United States The king, high
chiefs and prominent men on the island
to the number of 2 have forwarded a
petition to that effect to San Francisco
with the request that it be laid before
the president. They say not a word
about the Spaniards. or the Germans
but simply ask to be taken under the
folds Of the stars and stripes. The pc
tltlon was forwarded today to the pres
ident.
When the barkentine Ruth arrived
from the Islands a few months ago she
brought the news that the Germans
were trying to secure a foothold on the
Islands, the natives were preparing TO
resist them. Now that Germany has
purchased the group from Spain she
will at once take possession and then
there may be war on KusaIe. similar
to that in the Philippines. The petition
OF the Kusalers has arrived too late.

DROWNED IN WAKARUSA.
Little Girl Falls Into the Water While
With a Picnic Party.

Frances Colt was drowned in the
Wakarusa creek Wednesday afternoon
at L o'clock. She was the IL year old
daughter of Mr.. W. L. Colt, who re-
sides at No. ia Quincy street in this
city.
A picnic party was spending the day
in CoberIey's grove and the little girl
was among the number. After dinner
in company with another girl, she was
walking along the banks of the creek
looking for shells. The ground was very
wet and she slipped into the water,
which was very deep at that point. The
cries of the drowning girl together with
those of her companion, Frances Hen
derson, soon brought help 20 them but
nothing could be done to save her. 1t
was fully an hour after the accident
before her body was recovered and Miss
DR.. Adams who was near the place
camping out tried to resuscitate the un-
fortunate girl but she had been in the
water so long that her efforts were of
no avail.
The body was brought to Topeka in
a carriage later in the afternoon. The
funeral viii be held at 2 o'clock Friday
afternoon from the family residence.
No. ia Quincy street. The services will
be conducted by Dr. A. S. Embree.

MAY YET BE WAR.
BaIfOur Says Peace In the
Transvaal Is Not Assured.

London, July Pin the course of
speech at a conservative luncheon this
afternoon Mr.. A. J. Balfour, first lord of
the treasury and government leader in
the house of commons, in discussing the
Transvaal situation. said that if the gov
ernment's endless patience and endless de-
sire to prevent matters coming to n crisis
and If all the resources of diplomacy were
ineffectual to unite the knot, other means
must inevitably be found to loosen it. Mr..
Balfour, however, said he took a more
sanguine view of the situation. He un-
derstood that the Transvaal was prepared
to grant some substantial redress. though
quite Inadequate according to Great Brit
aims standard. 1t manifeSrly i'm
possible. Mr.. Balfour said. that Great
Britain should permanently submit to
free-born EngliShmen being treated if
of an inferior race. While he did not
take despairing view of the situation.
it would be folly to pretend that all the
difficulties had been solved. or to pro-
claim a peace which was not yet assured.

GOVERNOR REPORTS.
On the Lynching of Italians In Louis
lana.

Washington, July 27.-The state de-
partment has received from Governor
Foster of Louisiana, a preliminary re-
port upon the killing of the five Ital-
ians at Vicksburg. The point of inter
est and Importance is the governors s
statement that he has been officially
advised that three of the men were
naturalized American citizens. This
statement is directly the reverse to
the advices that come to the state de-
partment through the Italian consular
officer, at New Orleans who sent agents
into the country to secure information
on this point.
Governor Foster records in his report
an earnest disposition on the part of
the sheriff of Madison county where
the affair occurred to bring the perpe-
traitors of the killing to justice and to
lay all of the facts before the grand
jury of the county. That body is not at
present in session so it cannot under
take to look into the case before the
next term of court. Meanwhile the
sheriff himself promises to make
thorough inquiry and to report all of
the facts to the governor through the
district attorney. All of the facts set
out in the report of Governor Foster
have been communicated to Count
Vinct here, and he will in turn COM
municate them to the Italian foreign
office.

Chicago Sausage Maker Found
Dead in His Cell.

Joliet, Ills, July 27-Adolph L. Luet-
CERT, the wealthy Chicago sausage max
er, who was serving a life sentence in
the penitentiary here for the murder of
his wife was found dead in his cell to-
day The authorities were unable to
ascertain the cause of his death and an
inquest will be held to determine wheth-
er he killed himself, or died of heart
disease.
The trial of Luetgert in Chicago at
tracted wide attention and was one of
the most sensational in the history of
the state. Luetgert was charged with
having murdered his wife in the base
ment of his factory and cooked the
body to pieces in a vat. The prosecution
had but a few small bones and two
rings as evidence that the theory was
correct, but secured conviction and a
life sentence.

October.
During that month Treasurer Grimes
will get out his stamp mot paid for
want of funds" and will probably be
compelled to apply it to a greater num-
Der of warrants than were so stamped
in June. The amount of warrants at
that time unpaid was S225, ,0OO
The state treasurer has issued call
for these unpaid warrants and wilA
uquidate them as rapidly as possible.
Last year the tax levy was 4 mills,
but was insufficient, raising $1.313, ,54S.
This year the levy is mills, but this
will also be insufficient. The amount Of
money raised by this levy is 81, ,636, us. &C.

STRIKE EXTENDS.
Telegraph Messenger Boys Go Out In
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, July 27.-The fever of
striking which seems to have taken
possession of the telegraph messenger
boys in various cities reached here to-
day when nearly 200 out of 500 employd
by the different companies struck for
higher wages. They now receive cents
a message and the night shift so cents
a night. No payment is made on mes
sages undelivered. The boys want to
be paid for the latter and demand 8
cents a message and so cents for night
work.
The strike originated at the Central
Office of the Western Union Telegraph
company, Tenth and Chestnut streets
and was taken up by a number of boys
a the other offices in the financial and
business sections of the city. During the
day the ranks of the strikers were join
ed by recruits from the Postal, Ameri-
can District and Philadelphia & Read
ing companies Beyond cOngregating
about the offices. the boys are creating
no disorder. The officials of the COM
pany say there is no difficulty in the
delivery of messages. In the Western
Union Central office linemen were press
ed into service and delivered MESA ges.

ITALY WILL BE PAID
For Three of Her Subjects
Lynched In Louisiana.

New York July PA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Italy will be paid an indemnity for the
lynching of three of the five Italians at
Tallulah, La, and the state department
win lay down the principle once for all
that an alien does not become a full
hedged citizen of the United States until
naturalization papers have been formally
issued to him.
OF course the state department will pur-
sue the regular legal course for ascer-
tanning all the facts in connection with
the lynching, and there will doubtless be
considerable diplomatic correspondence
between the two countries before the in
cident is closed. But state department
officials appreciate that there is no es-
cape from the payment of the indemnity
No direct demand has yet been made by
Italy, but there have been broad hints
dropped in that direction.

Manila, July 27.-6:45 p. MT is re-

TO FIGHT DINGLEY LAW.
American Travellers Defense Associa-
tion Has Beer Organized.

New York, July 27.-The American
Travellers Defense association has been
organized with the view of securing the
repeal of the provision of the Dingley bin
which imposes a duty on all wearing ap-
parel and other personal effects over 800
IN value purchased abroad and ty-.a@gh ut to
this country by returning residents of the
United States. 1t is proposed to form
branch organizations throughout the coun-
try and to petition congress at it's next
session for the repeal of the measure re-
ferred to. The association bases its Op-
position to the duty the ground that
the enforcement of the provision produces
only insignificant revenue and affords
no real protection to any American in
dustry: that it causes vexatious and un-
necessary delays to travellers and that it
discriminates against residents of the
United States and in favor of foreigners.

New York, July 27.-The parade Of

he is entitled to. This the boys did
not give him and he did not consider
that he had sufficient tome to make
