Minerals Have Been Discovered
In Phillips County.
Jacob Close Has Found Fire
Clay and Emery.
KANSAS NOW HAS ALL.

Ex-Governor Morrill, Is Plant
ing More Orchards.

Jacob H. Close of Phillipsburg has
discovered what he believes to be a
rich deposit of fire clay and emery
near that place and is making scien-
tific investigation concerning the min
eraI.
The discovery has been causing con-
siderable excitement in that section OF
the state and it is responsible for the
belief. on the part of many citizens,
that the vicinity is rich in these min
eral deposits The attention of the
Kansas Academy of Science has been
directed to the discoveries and a care
ful examination of the minerals will be
made
Mr.. Close writes that in his opinion
the fire clay is of the plastic white va
riety and also reports another md OF
the black shale variety in addition to
the large vein of emery, which II eX-
listing in paying quantities Will place
the owner beyond the worry OF hot
winds and doubtful crops
The discovery of coal in the north
western counties of the state, together
with the natural deposits of clay and
emery may yet make that the banner
section of the state.
Mr. Close in a letter to a Topeka
man proclaims the merit and value OF
his discovery III no uncertain terms and
the right track. Assays and chemical
analyses of the emery and clay speci-
mems will be made for the purpose OF
ascertaining the true value of the dis
cOvery which Mr.. Close believes to be

zoLA's PROTEST
Against the Dreyfus Verdict Stirs
France.

New York. Sept 1S.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Paris says:
Emile Zola's impassioned protest
against the Rennes verdict which ap-
pears in the Aurore causes an impress
sion second only to that of his memoir
able letter, 4 accuse The following
passages Of ZOla'S remarkable dOcu-
ment appeal with such irresistible
force to honest minded Frenchmen and
indicate so clearly the new phase
upon which the Dreyfus tragedy seems
about to enter, that they are singled
out as Of paramount Importance.
Zola, after stating that the moral
Sedan of September, 1899, is a hundred
fold more disastrous than the Sedan of
September, 1870, where blood only was
lost, points out the national peril Gre
ated by the president of the RenneS
courtmartial when he refused NJ. La
boris application to take the testimony
of the former German and Italian mil
itary attaches and thereby prevented
the production of the documents enum-
Grated in the bordereau. Zola afffrms
his absolute certainty that a consider
able number of documents in Ester
hazy'S handwriting, which ESterhazy
archives of the ministry of war at Ber-
lin. He declares that Germany, which
tomorrow may be an enemy of France,
holds in her hands these irrefuta BILE
proofs of the triple judicial error COM
mitted by the court martial OF 1894 and
by the court martial of 1898, when Es
terhazy was acquitted, and by the
Rennes court martial. In case of war
Germany could thus at the very out
set dishonOr the French army in the
eyes of Europe by simply publishing
these documents and revealing the
abOminable iniquity of it's chiefs.
Diplomacy has already removed the
main difficulties. Germany is willing to
return the documents enumerated in
the bordereau whenever the French
government asks for them. These docu-
ments constitute new facts which will
make necessary a second revision of
the DreyfuS case before the court of
cessation. Should the government hes
itate to ask for the documents in queS-
tiOn they will nevertheless be surely
forthcoming, for if justice shall not
have been accomplished before Novem-
Der %, when my trial begins at Versail-
les, even NJ. Labori will pronounce the
pleadings at Versailles which it was
impossible for him to pronounce at
RenneS.'
Nine. Dreyfus fears that her hus-
bands health may soon break down
completely. Dreyfus nerved himself up
during the Rennes trial but the re-
action is such that the physicians con-
slider his case hopeless and say that
any day a fatal case may ensue.
Meanwhile the Intervention of Presi-
dent Loubet, by according Dreyfus a
full pardon, is regarded by those near
est the president as almost certain and
this would be followed by executing the
policy of the sponge and wiping out
all old scores and reducing the pending
trials which originated in the Dreyfus
leasing De Roulede and his royalist
companions and liquidating the whole
situation by a general amnesty prepar-
atory to the Worlds fair of 1900.

MARKET REPORT.


WHEAT - The gradually decreasing
premium on December wheat over Sep
tember entirely disappeared today shortly
after the opening on change ard Sep
tember went TO point fully a cent above
December. The opening was weak all
local and northwest receipts causing
liquidation and short selling. For some
days there has been talk of an elevator
deal in September in which Weare. Peacy
and Armour were involved and this belief
was strengthened today when shortly af-
ter the opening heavy buying of Septem-
Der started. The bidding was so active
that shorts were driven to cover and in
side of half hour. September had risen
from 7O5sc the opening price to f21fc The
well maintained. December opened 1ac
lower at 7055G705sc and during the sud
den activity which was caused by the
squirt in September it advanced to 111c.
1t was the general belief among traders
that Weare and PaVey had the long end
of the September deal and were taking
the wheat from ArmOur's elevators, Min
neapolis and Duluth receiving 921 cars
against 40 cars last week and 9lS n year
ago. Chicago receipts were 197 cars, q
of contract grade.
CORN was steady but dull There was
some outside buying of deferred futures.
Receipts We're moderate, 59S cars high

deal of covering by shorts in December

Admiral pewev,g .stroteeic P1ot.

Frederick Palmer in Golfers Weekly
One day the news of the departure of
Camara's squadron for Manila brought
the admiral face to face with a third
simple proposition, which he solved as
easily as he had solved the first two.
He wrote cablegrarn to be sent to the
navy department, suggesting that
Camara would turn back if the United
States were to make a demonstration
on the coast of Spain.
4 had better attend to my own af
fairs he said to Captain Lamberton,
on second thought. Advice to the de-
partment from this distance comes
with poor taste, 1 fear
II should like to know who has
right to make suggestion if you
haven't" said the captain. You have
whipped one fleet in this harbOr, and it
is you who will have to fight Camara if
he comes"
The cablegram was sent, and it had
the desired result, as we know. There
was no objection to the publication in
American, and especially in Spanish
papers, of the intention of the navy de-
partment to send a squadron across the
Atlantic under the command of Com
modore Watson. Camara, having paid a
heavy toll to pass through Suez, passed
back again, and thus, by the foresight
of the admiral, bloodshed and enough
vessels for the nucleus of a new Span
ish navy We're spared. Meantime he had
decided what he would do if Camara
came.
"Supposing I were to sail out of the
bay, and leave you and your force to
your own resources for a few days,
what would you do?'' he asked Major
General Anderson.
Take 80 days rations. go to the
mountains, build trenches and be per-
fectly comfortable" was the reply
LAS Camara will arrive two or three
days before the Monterey, and need
her. was the reply, L shall sail west
ward to meet her, and then return to
meet the enemy"
Though inferior in weight of metal to
Camara's squadron, there could have
been little doubt of the result if he had
faced Camara without the Monterey's
assistance. A victory without the Mon
terey would have meant more glory for
his command than victory with the
Monterey. But a victory without the
Monterey might have entailed more
loss of life and more damage to our
vessels than otherwise. As the admiral
understands the art of war, it is not
brilliant deeds for their own sake but
to do the enemy much harm with as lit
tie injury and as much advantage as
possible to yourself

BROKE HER HEART.
Comment Upon Her Attire Made
Miss Balten a Recluse

Burlington. N. J.. Sept. 1S.-In the
death of Miss Mary Ann Balten last
evening, Burlington lost the most ec-
centric character within it's borders.
Offended because some of her fellow
members of church objected to the lack
of style in her dress, Miss Balten, more
than 20 years ago, became a recluse.
From that time until her death admiS-
sion to her home was denied to all call
erS.
During all that time Miss Balten had
not crossed the threshold of the house,
where she and her brother, J. Russell
Balten, lived in retirement About 20
years ago Miss Balten was an active
worker in the Sunday school of a
church in this city She taught a
class. Comments upon ecentricities in
her attire by some of the women mem
bers of the church reached her ears,
and her Sunday school class was taken
from her. She turned her back upon
the church and upon the world. Going
to her home she closed the door. and
from that day to the hour of her death
scarcely a human being, except her de-
voted brother, has seen her The neigh
bOrS tried to be inquiSitively neigh bOr-
ly but the door was barred against
them When she died offers of help
came from every hand, but all were
refused. The funeral will be strictly

THEIR "DYING" DAYS.
[From de Chicago Times-Herald.l |

IFrom the Chicago TimeS-Herald.1
A queer little story is going the rounds
which may well be taken to heart by
those concerned. A lately arrived diplomat
who has been enjoying the summer at one
of the most fashionable watering places
had an American friend as his guest.
During some conversation concerning the
country the diplomat, in reply to a ques-
ton as to what impressed him most re-
piled:
''The most noticeable thing which has
struck my foreign mind, is according to
their own testimony, the extreme delicacy
and physical weakness of the American
women, young and old. There is hardly
an hour that 1 do not hear some of them
proclaim that they are dying. They die
of the heat, they die of the cold They die
of laughter and they die of grief; and
then again I have heard the expression.
I just expired with surprise OF course,
this last know to be joke. But It GER
tainly is curious to note the extent to
which American WOmanhOod is drifting to
the grave if the statistics of their own
proclamatiOns of the fact are reliable. Tt
it really wonderful So solemn was the
Mortified diplomat that his auditor is at a
loss to know whether he was serious or
not: His name is withheld because on
nothing are diplomats so sensitive as to

be governed largely by that of Great
Britain, the United States and Austria.
The Neuste Nachrichten says it is
extremely improbable that Germany
will further interest herself in the
Dreyfus case by allowing documents
proving the innocence of Dreyfus and
Esterhazy's guilt to be published. But
the paper adds there are reasons to be-
ieve that should the French govern
ment officially apply for these papers
the documents would be produced
without any hesitation.
