SCORED AHT.
Kansas Attracted Attention at g. A
r. Encampment.

Kansas scored in Philadelphia as US
ual. The following is taken from
Philadelphia paper:
Nothing in the line of parade excl
ted more attention and applause than
Boyd's brigade, made up of "A girls
from Topeka, Kan, and their escorts,
the famous Aodoc club. The girls gave
a street exhibition of the admirable
manner in which they have been drill
ed by their commander, Major Boyd, at
Eleventh and G1rard streets, last nlghC
Their evolutions evoked enthusiastic
applause, as did their marching in the
parade earlier in the day They arriV-
ed in the city yesterday morning at
o'clock This is the first time that
they have attended an eEcampment,
although their organization is now two
years old. Hereafter they can be look
ed upon as a feature on all occasions OF
the sort. Miss Macarthur is bugler and
Miss Eddy, drummer. Major Boyd
marches at their head and is the only
officer of the brigade, except the lieu
tenant, Miss Laura Longaker.
The Modoc club is a glee club 1t
was organized by Major Tom Ander-
son, an enthusiastic Grand Army man
and Veteran Legion, who was unable
to come with them to Philadelphia, but
they were accompanied by their vice
president, NJ. D. Henderson. Many of
the members are sons of veterans, and
some are themselves veterans. They
received their unique name by chance.
An entertainment was given in Topeka
for charity, gotten up by Major Ander-
son. The original projectors of the
club took part in it. Subsequently de-
string to continue together they looked
about for a name. 1t was at the time
of the MOdOc troubles and there were
| prisoners of the tribe in jail less than
10 miles away. AS every one was ex-
cited and talking about the Modocs, it
! was decided to adopt that name. NJ. c..

GREAT BASEBALL GAME.
Half of Northwest Kansas Bets Theil
Money on Kansas-Nebraska
Contest

Norton, Sept. 9.-The game Of base
ball here between the Colby nine and
the Hendley, Neb., club will go into
history as the most exciting baseball
game ever played in the north half of
Kansas west of the Missouri river.
1t took the HendIey team one hour
and a half to beat the Colby club, the
score standing 8 to I in favor of the
Nebraska nine. The Hendley club was
composed of short grass fellows most
ly, while the Colby club was picked up
from several towns.
It is said from 81, 800 to $4,000 changed
hands, the friends of each club back
ing their favorite with all the money
they could rake and scrape. The bat
ting and pitching were alike creditable
to any club in the National league. The
Norton people generally sided in with
their Nebraska neighbOrs and in the
evening the town people celebrated the
victory of the Hendley club by parad-
ing through the streets, headed by c.
E Riley, a favorite travelling man in
this section of Kansas. Charley Bower
of the well known Grier hotel, of Nor
ton, is better off by several hundred
dollars, his favorite club being the win
ner. NippS, of PhillipSburg. one of the
best umpires in the west, was selected
to umpire the game. his decisions being
ratified by both clubs without a dis
sent Eagan, former pitcher with the
Kansas City Blues, performed a like
duty for the Colby club, and Turner,
of Lebanon, was pitcher for the Hend-
ley club. From 1900 to 1000 people
witnessed the exciting game.

CALL OUT MILITIA.
Governor Will Suppress the
KIOndike at Amy Cost.

Governor Stanley says he will sup
press the Klondike at Leavenworth if
it becomes necessary to call out the
state militia to do so.
The governor said to one Of his close
friends a few days ago:
Notorious and open violation of law
such as is now going on in the Klondike
amounts to an insurrection against the
law and the state.
Under such conditions I am author
lied to call out the militia.
I will suppress the KlOndike before
my present term of Office expires and
will if necessary. take the state militia
to do it,
Proceedings at Leavenworth, on the
part of Mr.. Stanley's attorneys. are now
being confined to the accumulation of
evidence against the Klondikers-
The court does not convene until
November and no cases will be tried
before that time. Should convictions
fail and the Klondikers continue to de-
fy the law, then the governor will re-
sort to more powerful method than
IS found in the courts.

HEAD OFF SWINDLERS.
P. I. Bonebrake at Head of Cattle
mems Pr elective Society.

Mr. P. I. Bonebrake, president of the
Central National bank, is at the head
of a movement for the formation of an
association to protect live stock deal
ers from swindlers. He is being as
sisted by Kansas City bankers and
commission men, and a protective as
sociation, similar to the National Bank
ers' association, will be the result of
his efforts.
The association will be made up of
bankers, cattlemen, commission men
and others who loan money on cattle.
Every member will be asked to pay
SO year membership fee, to pay the
expense of bringing the swindlers to
justice. Mr.. Bonebrake's plan is to
make arrangements with the Pinker-
ton detective agency to hunt down the
thieves, and secure convictions. Cattle
swindling offers more inducements to
the thief than any other mode of rob-
berry, for the reason that after a COM
mission firm or bank has been f1eeced
of a large sum, there is no particular
satisfaction in sending several thou
sands dollars of good money after that
already gone.
It is estimated that there are at least
1000 men in Kansas City, Chicago, St
Louis, St. Joseph and Omaha who are
interested in the matter and VIII Join
This would mean $4,000, an amount
ample to provide diScouraging object
lessons to SWindlerS.

A GrOcer's Interest Is to Fur
nish Pure Food.

People do not always realize the per-
sonaI interest that a first-class grocer
takes in the articles of food which he
furnishes customers.
Some people believe that the grocer
is Influenced only by the profit he may
derive, and that his recommendations
are governed entirely by a mercenary
motive but this is not always true. On
the contrary, it is believed that a ma
jority of the better class of grocers are
thoroughly honest in their desire to
furnish their patrons with really pure
and nourishing food.
The following from Jno. Wallgren, a
prominent grocer of Portland, Oregon,
may be of interest: Il am on my
tenth case of Grape Nuts and my trade
is still increasing. have been bothered
with a weak stomach for five years. L
have tried a number of remedies and
patent medicines without help. I am
eating Grape-NutS three times a day
and after using three packages I must
admit that I am relieved of my weak
stomach and feel like a new man"
There is a reason for this. a weak
stomach can take Grape-Nuts and di-
Nuts are actually pre-digested and
ready for immediate transformation
into rich blood and good strong tissues
both of muscle and brain They are
generally admitted to be the most
scientifically made food in the world
in which the starch of the cereals is
transformed into grape sugar and this
is done without the use of any sort of
drug or acid whatsoever. On the con-
trary, all of the processes are purely
mechanical, using simply moisture
time Gin which to grow the diastase)
and heat, but the work of the human
system is copied almost exactly, with
the result that the food is ready for
immediate assimilation
The flavor is exquisite and delicate
the sweet of grape sugar can be de-
tected. The food is absolutely free
from cane or beet sugar, but the fine
almost microscopic, particles of grape
sugar can be seen glistening on the
surface of the small granules Grape
Nuts with cream furnishes the most
delicious breakfast food in existence
and this food is in use now by practf-
cally all of the well-to-do families in
America The demand has been 50
great that the factory has been run
ming steadily both night and day for
upwards of year, and the fame of the
American breakfast dish has spread to
many OF the other countries of the
world.

Ring Found In Turtle.

CFrom the Pittsburg News.1
Thirteen years ago Miss Beatrice
Harridan and party OF other Phil
adelphia young women spent the sum
mer at Oquaga Lake. One day while
bathing Miss Harridan placed her dia-
mOnd enga cement ring on log to pre-
vent the water from injuring the set
ting.
When the party had completed their
diversion the ring was missing. There
was CONSERVATION in the delegatiOn,a and
Miss Harridan refused to be cOnSOled-
She offered a large reward for the re-
turn of the ring, but it was never found.
This week another party of Philadel-
phians and some young women from
Chester visited Oquaga Lake and went
fishing at the place where Miss Harri-
dan lost the ring. In crossing a meadow
the party found a big swapping turtle
and carried it in triumph to the farm
house where they stopped. Arriving
there it was proposed that the turtle
be served up in soup.
In dissecting the creature Miss Har-
ridan's lost engagement ring was found
in its stomach, according to the Phil
adelphia Inquirer Miss Harridan is
now married, but it was forwarded by
the proprietor of the farmhouse to her
present Germantown address.
Dog days are almost over, but we have
a complete line of remedies fer dog bites,
mosquito bites, chigger bites, and all

WILL GIVE HIM PIE.
Mulvane to Honor Returning Soldier
With Pastry Six Feet by Four.

Mulvane, Sept. 9.-Art Phillips, son of
E. W. Phillips, who served with the
Tenth Pennsylvania in the Philippines,
will arrive home tonight.
Not only is the return of Art Phil
lips a joy to his parents, but the whole
town of Mulvane is going to give him a
royal welcome. He will be surprised
with a big function in his honor at
which he is expected to feast on pie.
When the young soldier was in the
Philippine he wrote a letter home and
said, among other things, that he would
be happy if he could have a piece of
mothers pie. So the neighbors have
joined in and today they will bake a
pie for Art. The pie will be four feet
wide by six feet in length and will con-
tain all the good things which his
mother ever put into a pie. The hun
cry soldiers will be kept of of pie all
day and tonight when the party
marches to the dining room he will be
led over to a table especially reserved
for him and introduced to pie. The
memory of AguinaIdo will be obliter-
ated by the ecstacy over the fat and
WelI-stuffed mothers pie.

from Lake TahO in coach drawn by
six horses and escorted by the leading
Democrats and silverites of Nevada.
He arrived late in the afternoon and
went at once to address the open air
meeting at which seven thousand people
were present. He was received with
tremendous enthusiasm. the conclusion
of every sentence being emphasized by
tumultuOus applause
Mr.. Bryan spoke for over an hour, de-
voting himself principally to the ques-
ton of expansion.
There is no need of my talking to
you upon the money question" he said.
Everyone knows that Nevada is all
right for silver
He repeated the arguments against
expansion made in his San Francisco
speech, declaring against what he pro-
nounced "A triplicate of evils-expan-
sion, imperialism and militarism."
Mr.. Bryan departed for the east on
the evening train being accompanied
to the depot by practically the entire
population of Carson, who cheered him
until the receding train carried him out
of sight.
