A COFFEE COMBINE.
How to Meet the Present Great De
preston.

Minister LOomis writes from Caracas,
June, 1899: Il inclose an article from
the Venezuelan Herald, published in
this city, which sets forth a plan for
controlling the coffee output of the New
World.
THE project is interesting as an evil
dence of the hard straits in which cof-
fee growers in this and some other
countries find themselves, by reason of
the extremely low price which their
product commands.
Unless the price of coffee is advance
ed considerably within a year or two,
great many estate will have to be aban-
dOned and the attention of the owners
given to the cultivation of more profit
able crops.
THE article says:
The late Senior NJ. j. OlaVarria ad-
vanced a proposition for the formation
of a league of all the coffee producing
countries, with the object of controlling
the price of coffee. He estimated that
the coffee producers of the Latin Am
erican republics, under the conditions
prevailing, are losing about $4,000, 900
per year, of which about one half falls
upon the Brazilian producers. Calcu-
lating the total production of the world
at $4,000, 900 bags of 1872 pounds each, and
the consumption at 1900, 900 bags Mr..
OlaVarria considered that the fall in
price is due to over production. He ap-
pealed to the Government of Venezu-
ella to take an initiative by inviting the
governments of other American produc-
ing countries to a conference, with
view to the formation of a coffee COM
binatiOn. The duties of this conference
Will be the restriction of the output, the
formation of a central committee to
control the sales, the imposing of a gem
eral export duty of francs SD per
bag Cthe proceeds to be applied to buy
ing up the surplus exports), and, gem
orally, the adoption of measures to in
crease consumption and decrease i'm
port duties on coffee in other countries.
The production for all markets is to be
restricted to 1050O,O00 bags per annum,
of which Brazil shall be permitted to
export 100000 bags, and the remainder
is to be divided among all other coun-
tries"

WHAT 1T WILL BE.
State g. A. II. Reunion Commit
tee Encouraged Over
Prospects.

The final arrangements for the state
@. A. r. reunion to be held in Topeka
next week will be completed tonight
when the programme committee will
meet and arrange the order of the
week
There viii be either a large tent or a
large building to be used for the gath
erings where the speeches will be made,
the songs sung and the campfire stories
told There will be other tents where
the different divisions will meet and
twice a day, a 8 O'Clock in the morning
and o'clock in the afternoon, the roll
by states and regiments will be called
and the veterans of 80 odd years ago
will once more answer here when
their name is read. These roll calls by
states and regiments have been the
means in the past of bringing together
comrades who fought, perhaps, side by
side and who had not met for years.
There will be a large tent 40 by 40
feet full of fighting. The charges of
the famous Twentieth Kansas will be
shown, life size and moving, together
with the crossing of the streams by
RATS and bridges. The hero of Calum-
pit will be projected" from the ma
chine along with Trembly and White
who swan the river in the face of the
enemy's fire. The destruction of Ger
vera's fleet will be shown and then the
fighting will change to COney Island
and the battle royal between Fitzsim-
mons and Jeffries will occupy the can
vas.
visit the merchants and interest them
in decorating their stores SO that when
the veterans march up Kansas avenue
they will see old glory to the right of
them, old glory to the left of them. old
glory behind them, old glory above them
and old glory ahead of them. The eX-
ecutive council will be asked to decor
ate the state house and to cover the
dome with electric lights.
The privileges are going fast and ev-
erything will be on the grounds There
will be the 20 mile race between two
young ladies, the band concerts, con-
certS by the ModOcS when the camp
will resound with I'VE are ready to
fight and everything else including "a
Hot Time" The Boyd girl cadets, who
made such a hit at Philadelphia, will
be there and tell how Admiral Sampson
feted them.
National Commander A D. Shaw
will be on hand. He is one of the most
gifted orators that has ever been at
the head of the National G. A. r. He
will talk on Wednesday, Many other
speakers, well known to the veterans of
Kansas, will be there.
The regiments of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war will be given special atten-
ton. The black haired warriors will
mingle with the white haired veterans.
The stories of Sherman's march to the
sea will mingle with the stories of San
Juan hill and Santiago, for Kansas had
representatives at all the principal en-
counters of the late war.
Major Shreve, the secretary, is maxi
ing arrangements for twice the mum Der
of visitors than at last years reunion.
Twice as many tents, twice as much
wood and straw and twice as much
enjoyment will be on the grounds than
a year ago
Other departments than the Sunfower
state have asked for quarters The
veteran Company a of Kansas City
will be here so strong in full marching
order.

Cook that there had been a shooting
scrape, and that the man who did the
shooting was standing everyone or
with his shotgun.
Sheriff Cook is in Missouri, and Dep
uty Sheriff Lawson volunteered to 20
after COnley, but the first train that
went west was the Rock Island about
midnight. When Lawson reached Viii
lard he was told that COnley was barri-
caded in his house down in corn6eld
east of the station, but no one was vii
ling to go near the house.
Lawson went down through the. corn
fields and pounded on the door of the
house but received no response. After
pounding again he went to the windows
and by the aid of the moonlight and
matches was able to survey the interior
of the house. There was no Indication
of any one about the premises. and
Lawson went on through another corn
field to the farm of Conley's father-in-
law, Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. Adams said that Conley was not
there, but the officer searched the
premises. Mrs. Adams then told him
that Conley had come there about
o'clock, but had left soon after. taking
his gun with him.
Taking one of the family with him
the officer went back to COuIey'S house
and made a thorough search of the
premises without results. About that
time two freight trains pulled into
Willard, one from each direction. Mr..
Lawson thought COnley might attempt
to escape on one of these, 50 he got IN
between them to watch, but saw no
one He says, however, that it would
have been easy matter for Conley TO
have got on one or the other as they
were starting. as it was impossible for
one man to watch both trains.
It seemed probable that COnley had
made good his escape. so the officer re-
turned to Topeka on the o'clock train.

FILLED WITH SHOT.
Ed Gardner'S Reward For Act
ing as Peacemaker.

Because Ed Gardner, of Willard, tried
to act as a peacemaker between Bert
Conley and L. E. Jones at Willard Sun
day night, he is now lying at Christ
hospital with gunshot wound in his
back.
The shooting was done by Conley,
who is still at large. It is said that
both he and Jones had been drinking
and they got into an alteration Last
Fourth of July, Conley, it is said, got
drunk at the Rossville celebration and
was arrested for disturbing the peace,
and Jones secured his release. It was
over this that the quarrel Sunday night
started. The men came to blows about
o'clock and Gardner, who is a friend
of both. tried to separate them. Conley
got hold of a shotgun, and when a
short distance away from both Gard
ner and Jones, he fired. few scatter
ing shot struck Jones in the neck and
arm, but the greater part of the charge
took effect in Gardner's left side
Immediately there was great excite
ment in willard Gardner was remov-
ed to his room at his boarding house,
and no attention was paid to Conley.
Soon afterwards, however, ConIey went
up to Gardner's room to find out how
badly the latter was injured.
I didn't mean to shoot you. Ed, % he
said. 1T was Jones I was after"
When he learned that Gardner was
badly injured he remarked, Guess I'll
take to the brush
There was move made to intercept
him, but he warned the crowd that he
would never be taken alive. and threat
