CURTIS ANXIOUS.
Kansas Representative Urges the
President to Call an Extra
Session.

Washington, June Representative
Curtis of Kansas, who is here to con-
fer with the president and members of
the caucus committee on currency, is
urging an early session of congress, so
that the financial measure may be
passed before it is time to enter upon
the work of the regular session. In this
view he is supported by Representative
Babcock of Wisconsin, chairman of the
Republican congressional committee
and member of the finance committee.
They called in the president today to
suggest the advisability of calling an
extra session not later than October.
While the president has the subject
under consideration he has not yet de-
cided, and doubt will hold the ques-
ton in allegiance until after he returns
from his summer vacation.
Representative Curtis will probably
go to New York to attend the conference
OF the senate finance committee, but will
be back in Kansas next week.

HE KEEPS FAITH.
Warden Harry Lands Will Not
BE ObstreperOus.
Told Governor Stanley He
Would Surrender July 1.
INTENDS TO Do so.
Takes a Sensible View Of the
Situation.
News From the Various State
Offices.


J. B. Tomlinson of Minneapolis will
take charge of the state penitentiary as
warden July l. H. S. Lands will step
down and out on that date, or as soon
thereafter as matters can be adjusted
for the convenience of his successors.
Mr. Lands has not placed his resigna-
ton in the hands of the governor but
he will turn the institution over to the
administration on that date. The pres
ent warden has no disposition to make
a fight and spend his money in a hope
less cause. He believes that the COVER
nor would throw him out after an in
vestigation, although it is conceded that
Lands has given the peniteEtiary the
best administration it has had since it
was constructed.
When the governor first started out
to secure the position of warden for
Mr. TOmlinson there was suggested a
political deal which is something new in
Kansas politics. Under the tenure or
office law lawyers agree that Lands
can hold his office until the expiration
of his term. The administration did not
relish the idea of being defeated in
court so a scheme was suggested which
it was thought would placate Lands.
The administration wanted to permit
Lands to retain the office until July
but desired that he permit the Repubh-
can board of directors to displace all OF
the POpulist employees, about 100, and
install Republicans IN their positions.
To this Mr.. Lands entered an indignant
protest and said:
I'VE will all go out together. I will
not trade the jobs of the men under me
for a place for myself
This gave the administration such
chilly bath that since greater care has
been exercised in dealing with the
little warden. Lands will vacate July
l and will do so quietly. There will be
no trouble, no law suits and peace will
be restored to the now agitated minds
OF the brethren who are waiting to get
the places at the prison.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to

Chicago. June z

WHEAT-Wheat today showed a ten
dency to recover somewhat from the re-
cent decline. The opening in July was
quiet at 1s4Ac over yesterdays closing. a
little trading being done at 751sM14c. The
strength was in part due to the better
tone to Liverpool cables than expected
and to reports of too much rain in the
northwest. The market weakened inme-
diately, however. Rains in the Odessa
district of Russia and heavy northwest
receipts brought considerable long wheat
to the market for time. the pressure
resulting in a break to 7412c. After the
first half hours trading a better tone de-
veloped and prices gradually improved
under good buying, there evidently being
inclination to play for a rally. Mime

A SECOND DISH.
Proved Too Much For Actual Need
and Showed the Value of
Condensed Food

when the new food was first placed
In my store took a package home to
try. The name, 'Grape-Nuts had at
tracted my attention and the state
ment that it was partly composed of
grape-sugar excited my interest, as we
all know that grape-sugar, made by
certain methods of treating the cereals,
as one OF the most nourishing and di-
gestible articles that can be eaten.
Il rather expected to like the food
but was not expecting that the children
would take so kindly to it. Each one
of the little folks, however, passed up
the saucer for a second supply and SO
did l.
1T is a delicious novelty and very
grateful to the palate. 1 found, about
midway in my second dish, that had
sufficient for a meal and realized for
the first time that / was eating a con-
densed food that supplies ones wants
with a few spoonsful and does not re-
quire anything like the volume to fur
nish the amount of food required, as
when any of the ordinary forms of ce-
reals are served. Grape-Nuts are an
elegant food and the Postum Cereal
Co. Lin. are to be congratulated upon
the discovery" said NJ c. Goossen, the

BLAME THE PRESIDENT.
Chicago Colored People Arraign Nc
Kinley at an Anti-Lynch Meeting.

Chicago, June 7.-'If there ever was
an administration which deserved the
condemnation of the negro race it is
that of William Mckinley. If President
Mckinley had respected his country and
our people he would have packed his
Valise and left the state of Georgia
when that horrible outrage upon hui
manity, the burning of Sam Hose, was
perpetrated within few miles of where
he was sojourning for recreation and
pleasure
In these words the Rev. J. F. Thomas,
pastor of Olivette Baptist church, de-
nounced President Mckinley from the
pulpit of Bethel African Methodist
Episcopal church, Thirtieth and Dear
born streets, yesterday afternoon at
mass meeting of colOred people, held for
the purpose of hearing the report of L.
p. Levin, a detective, who was sent to
Georgia to investigate the Sam Hose
and Elijah Strickland lynchings. The
words of DR.. Thomas created a decided
sensation throughout the large audience
present, but his sentiments were vigor-
ously applauded.
The report OF Detective Levin was
presented and read by Mrs. Ida Wells
Barnett, and after the reading it was
decided that at least 200 copies of it
should be printed in pamphlet form for
distribution among the leading minis
tiers. Mr.. Levin states that the white
people of Georgia discussed with the
greatest freedom the part they took in
the lynchingS, speaking of it as they
would OF an afternoons recreation.
Cafe1uI investigation showed, the report
stated, that Hose, whose right name
was Samuel Wilkes, killed Alfred Gran
ford in self-defense, and the charge of
assault upon Mrs. Crawford was untrue.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the report Mrs. Barnett delivered
stirring speech urging all negroes to
continue the work of keeping prominent
before the public the outra ges commit
ted upon cOlOred people in the south.
She was followed by DR.. Thomas, whose
caustic arraignment of the administra-
ton met with ready. response from the
audience. The Rev. r. c. Ransom
stated that the colored people owed it
to themselves not to attack, the admin
istration. In part, he said:
Such men as Ben Tillman, who sits
in the, senate of the United States, are
the kind of people who should be at
tackled by US if any one is. He prac-
tically tells people that the negro shall
not have the rights of a free man. AS
for President Mckinley, Mark Hanna
told me himself that his private secre-
tary was in the presidents office when
the bishops of our church came to him
and asked him not to say anything
about the negro question in his MESA ge
to congress, the reason they gave being
that it would inf1ame the white people
and make it the harder for US. If we
think the white people of the north are
going to fight again for the negro we
very much mistaken"

STANLEY WANTS A CANNON.
Writes to Colonel Metcalf of the
Twentieth Kansas.

Governor Stanley has forwarded a letter
to Col. Metcalf of the Twentieth Kansas
at Manila in which he says:
I have learned that 1t Is the purpose
of the war department to Distribute
among the different states the spanish
cannon captured in the recent war with
Spain and the present war in the Ph:iip-
pines. 1t is pretty hard to say Just what
kansas would get in the distribution
Neither do l know what influence the
Twentieth Kansas will have in this mat
ter. | trust. however. that you Will en-
brace any opportunity that presents itself
to see that Kansas gets her full snare. II
the Twentieth Kansas could be as instru-
mental in securing to Kansas as large a
distribution in the captured cannon as it
has been in threshing the FilipinOs, we
will be strictly in it when it comes to the
distribution
The G.. A. r. here has taken up. the
matter to get small cannon that the
same may be manufactured into buttons
or badges for presentation to the mem
bers of the Twentieth. The sentiment
connected with this kindly act upon the
part of the G. A. r. would be strength
ened if enc of the small cannon captured
in the Philippines could be sent fo- this
purpose. 1 have written the war depart
ment, asking, whether this is not 2oss,iible
Can't you help us in this somewhat? This
would be much better than to have the
badges made from cannon captured in
Cuba"

Cause Freeman Cochran's Life to End
ON the Scaffold.

Bethany, Mo, June Freeman Coch-
ran, who killed George Scarborough
near here in 1897, was hanged in the
county Jail this morning. He ate
hearty breakfast and went to the scat
fold with assurance. Before the trap
was sprung Cochran made a speech
saying he had accepted religion and
urging the spectators to beware of Ii
Quor which he said, had caused his
downfall.
Cochran and Scarborough were farm
ers and Quarrelled over woman. Ac-
cording to a mutual agreement they
fought out their differences with bare
fists. After honor had apparently been
satisfied both men shook hands and re-
tired to a nearby farm house. Within
few minutes Cochran secured a shot
gun and deliberately shot Scarborough
an the back, mortally wOunding him.

CONFERENCE FAILS.
England and the TransVaal
Can't Agree.

Brussels, June doctor Leyds, the
European representative of the Trans
vaal, has received an official dispatch
from Pretoria, confirming the report of
the failure of President Kruger and
the British high commissioner, Sir AL
fred Miner. to reach an agreement at
the conference just held at 'B1oOmfon-
tein.
1t is added, that although President
he made them contingent upon the
arbitration on the differences existing
between Great Britain and the Trans
vaaL. This Great Britain heretofore has
invariably refused on the ground that
it would be an acknowledgment of the
equality of the two countries.
According to the dispatch received by
DR.. Leyds, President Kruger proposed
that a SOjOurn of two years be neceS-
sary for naturalization and that the full
franchise be acquire BILE five years later
coupled with property and other Qualifi-
cations. The British high commissioner
regarded the proposal as insufficient
Kruger, it is further asserted, intends
to submit both proposals to the volks-
Rad, subject to the favorable decision
of Great Britain relative to arbitration.
WHAT NEXT?
London, June THE report of the
break down of the B1oemfontein negotia-
lions has created cOnsidera BILE anxiety
in political and official circles and there
is much speculation as to the next move
of the British government While Great
Britain probably does not mean war it
is generally thought that at any rate
there will be military preparations.
