light upon the idiosyncrasies of the
English character.
In the sixteenth century all the pep
per consumed in England was bought
by the English merchants from the
Dutch, who brought it from India.
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1899 raised the cost from
three shillings To six shillings per
pound. This petty display of ill~feel-
ing caused considerable annoyance 10
the English merchants, and aroused in
them that feeling of independence
which has always been so characteris-
tic of our race.
They determined 10 import their pep
per direct from India i'm their own
ships, and for this purpose formed a
company, called The Governor AMI

Company Of Merchants of London
Trading To the East Indies" and which
in later days became eventually known
as the East India company.
Their first voyages emhroiled them in
almost innumerable quarrels with the
Dutch and Portuguese, and for time
the venture proved financial failure.
1t was not until 1915 that the company
became successful and obtained lucra
tive treaties, owing To their deciaively
defeating the Portuguese.
From this time ON their possessions
gradually increased, slowly at first, and
then very rapidly, until, by the wise
and beneficial management of such men
as Give, Warren Hastings and Corn
wallis, they exercised sovereignty over
the greater portion of India.

PERFECTION STARCH.
Another Successful Industry Given
Prompt Encourage

The "Patronize Home Industries
movement and the antitrust agitation,
both of which were recently started by
the Topeka Commercial club, have al
ready brought about noticeable re-
suits. The Ralston Yeast company has
begun the manufacture of starch which
will not be controlled by the trust
At present the company can make
seventy-five cases of starch a day, but
additional machinery will be put in, as
five travelling men who were sent out as
an experiment a few days ago have al
ready brought in more orders than the
present plant can supply.
The industry starts out by giving en-
ployment to Is additional men, and
trade is built up. A package of 16
ounces will be sold for the same price
at which 12-ounce packages of trust
starch are sold.
This is but a. small illustration Of
what may be accomplished by the peo-
pie of Topeka in the way of building
up their own city if they will patronize
home industries in preference to those
of other cities. They will not feel the
accrue to Topeka cannot be estimated.
No bonuses are asked for enterprises of
this character and they will do the
city far more good than Institutions to
which the people of the city are asked
to subscribe in order to get them
started Enterprises which need pub
lie help in order to start them are not
always the success they are expected to
be, but enterprises which are founded
them by the people among whom they
are established will not only prove a
success themselves, but they will also
help along other lines of business.

ONLY 28O men
Of the Twentieth Kansas Able
to Fight.

San Francisco, July 13.-Advices re-
ceived by the transport Newport dated
Manila, June II, are as follows:
The volunteers are greatly debilitated
in consequence of their hard campaign
ing through three months of tropic
weather. Since the middle Of May no
volunteer regiment has had a sick list
of less than twenty per cent. Most of
them at the present date had twenty
five per cent i'll, and a few regiments
have less than one-third of their num-
Der on duty The Nebraska regiment
has suffered the worst. It came in from
San Fernando a few days ago with less
than two hundred men in the ranks.
Some of its companies have only two
sets of fours. The South Dakota fol-
lowed yesterday with two hundred and
seventy-five men on duty. The Montana
and Kansas regiments at San Fernando
have not more than two hundred and
eighty available men each. The morn
ing after the Washington troops took
Morong, a week ago, only two hundred
and sixty-three men responded to roll
call. The washington men have been
engaged since March 18th in preventing
the insurgent armies of the north and
south from forming a junction in the
region of Laguna de Bay, often being
engaged at the same time with the enc
my in opposite directions.
Twenty-four Of the Nebraska officers
are on the sick list and the Montana,
Kansas, Washington and South Dakota
regiments show twenty or more officers
in the hospitals or sick in their quarters.
These regiments have borne the brunt
of the fighting. Their losses in killed
and wounded range from $50 in the
Montana regiment. to 2S0 Nebraska
Tnen, The loss of the Kansas regiment
is second to that of Nebraska, while
the Washington and South Dakota reg
1ments follow closely, each with losses
of about two hundred. The Oregon
regiment also suffered severely.

CRAWFORD SURRENDERED.
How the Fighting Captain Was Once
Conquered.

George r. Crawford of Manhattan,
who was a lieutenant in the Twenty
second Kansas, and has been appointed
captain in a new regiment for the
Philippines has quite a reputation as a
fighter but his prowess for some years
was limited to school teachers. Craw-
ford liked the idea of thrashing the men
school teachers but he met his Waterloo
in a. woman.
The woman was unusually strong and
could have licked" Crawford just as
she did the other boys without difficulty.
When she tackled" Crawford he said:
s'Go ahead with the business; I'm too
much of a gentleman to fight a wo-
man.
Then while two men held him Craw-
ford submitted to a whipping by the fe-
male teacher. Crawford was for some
time a student at the state agricultural
college, but he made the surroundings
so interesting that it became necessary
for him to resume his walks in private
life. He took naturally to military mat
ters and is one of the best drilled and
best posted men in the state.

TO GUST WHEELER.
Movement to Elect Successor Re-
newed in Alabama

Chattanooga, Tenn, July ia spec
ial to the Times from Birmingham, Ala,
says:
Since Joseph Wheeler has been order
ed to the Philippines a renewal of the
discussion about declaring his seat in
congress vacant has been begun. Last
year when General Wheeler was in
Cuba Attorney General Fits rendered
an opinion for the governor to the eff
feet that General Wheeler, by accepting
a commission in the army had vacated
his seat and that it was within the
power of the governor to order an cleo
tion to fill the vacancy. Commenting
on the sentiment then and now, the
Montgomery Journal, which is looked
upon as the organ of the state admin
istration, says:
'tThen there was some sympathy for
the cause in which General Wheeler was
engaged. then a war with a foreign
power was in progress and the country
was in a fame of patriotic fervor and
enthusiasm over the contest but there is
no such sentiment today as that which
people are in a more practical mood and
are inclined to look at things in more
practical way. There are many people
who would approve the act If the gov
ernor were to order an election in the
Eighth district to elect a congressman
and the governor will no doubt be urged
to take some prominent action in the

Negro Telegraphs Sheriff

He Ta Wanted.

Those acquainted with the facts about
the Mcfarland murder are not ready to
believe that Johnson Jordan was directly
connected with the crime, although the
two men under arrest, Williams and Rem
der, try to impHcate him.
Those who knew Jordan and his habits
said, when they read Of his being suspect,

enough, Sheriff Cook received the follow

Bend:

Sheriff Cook has not yet decided to send

from Jordon, as the following letter shows
that he has been in the neighborhood of
