DEWEY SCRAP BOOK.
The Largest Volume Ever Made
Weighing $50 Pounds.

The Chicago Tribune says of the
mammoth book of clippings about
Dewey: In the language of the street
the word Scrap has two meanings,
but there is no suspicion of a pun in
presenting Admiral Dewey with scrap
book celebrating his fighting powers
If it were a pun it would be the heav-
lest on record, for the book weighs $50
hounds. It would also be decidedly
broad, measuring over five feet across
when open. 1t might be regarded as
fit being in book form. AS it consists
OF over 10000 clippings, it might take
some time to find the point. But it is
nat a joke at all. 1t is only a novel and
handsome way of letting the Admiral
know what the 20, 900 American newspa-
pers have been saying about him since
the famous scrap at Manila He may
congratulate himself not only on being
the subject of the largest book ever
made. but also on being the first man
who ever inspired so voluminous an ut
terance without any abuse in it.

AT WORK QUIETLY.
Another Report About the Suppress
sion Of the Klondike.

It is reported from Leavenworth that
the war upon the KlOndike is about to
begin. This same report has been cir
culated so often before, however, that
many people are skeptica1 about it.
They will believe in the war only
when they see it coming down the
pike"
The Leavenworth Times says that
the forces of law. order and public
veal have been at work quietly and
silently for some weeks. Evidence that
it is believed will convict has been COL
lected. Complaints and witnesses have
been secured who will testify and who
will swear against the salOOnkeepers
and jOintiStS of the disreputable resort.
Precautions and measures have been
taken that will secure proof against the
men who have made Klondike what it
IS and the lines are to be drawn in.
THE collecting of the evidence has
taken some time but it is none the less
certain. The names of the offenders
have been withheld that the ends of
Justice may not be defeated
The number of complaints which
have been secured is large They will
be drawn, filed and the warrants served
in a short time. Witnesses to clinch
and verify the facts brought out in the
charges have been secured and will be
summoned. The prosecution thas taken
no chances and does not fear the result
The complaints are to be made all to-
gether The offenders are to be surpris-
ed and the full significance of the ac-
tiOn will not be felt until it is over"

AGAINST DENVER.
A Western Manufacturer Complains
of Discrimination by Railroads.

Washington. Oct. 11.-George J. Kin
del, a mattress manufacturer Of Den
yer, was the only witness before the
industrial commission today. He COM
planned that Denver was Disseminated
against in the way of railroad freight
rates to such an extent that manufac-
turing industries were being driven
away from that city.
Giving instances, he said that the
rate on freight from Chicago to Denver
was 81. .O5 per hundred weight, and from
Denver to San Francisco 50, whereas
the through rate from Chicago to San
Francisco was only one dollar per hun
dred weight. The rate from Chicago
and the Missouri river to Denver is, he
said, the same, giving the river points
an advantage. In Colorado, coal oil
sells for 100 per cent more than in Chi
cagO, Notwithstanding there are oil
wells in the state. His explanation was
that the product of the wells is con-
trolled by the Standard Oil company.
Mr.. Kindel said that he himself re-
ceived railroad rebates and that most
of the members of the Denver Chamber
Of Commerce received them. He advo-
Gated the amendment of the interstate
commerce law, or in case that proves i'm
possible of accomplishment, its repeal.

CROWS FEAST ON FROGS.

The city reservoir was drained of its
water recently and swept clean Of silt

pleted, and, happily, all further danger
of frogs in ones drinking water is now

ping of the water against the stones
and look longingly through the mesneS

is absolutely no show to get through
and their numbers are being rapidly
depleted by the crows in the vicinity
They fly over by the hundreds and DICK

TO QUIT TEMPLE.
W. O. 7. o. About to Abandon the
Chicago Building.

Chicago. Oct 11.-Mrs. L. NJ. n.
Stevens, national president of the w.
G. T. u, and Miss Anna Gordon, vice
president, arrived in Chicago today en-
route to Seattle, where they are to at
tend the national convention of the w
@. T. u. Mrs. Stevens when asked
about the coming convention and mat
ters of interest in w. c. T. U. circles,
said:
THE temple question will not be dis
cussed in Seattle. The statement which
has been made to the effect that the
W. Q. 7. u. can not move out of the
WOmen's temple and at the same time
live up to its constitution is absurd. A
bylaw says that our national offices
shall be in the building. That bylaw
can be changed by a two-thirds vote of
the union I am strongly in favor of
making Miss Wizards home, Rest
Cottage in Evanston, our headquar-
ters and I fancy this change will be de-
cided upon at the convention"

HILL-CROKER FEUD
Will Break Out Again at Tonights
Meeting of New York Democrats.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Democratic
state central committee will meet at the
Hoffman house tonight. There is SAID
to be a movement on foot to oust Frank
Campbell, ex-senator David B. HilPs
close friend, not only from the chair
manship of the state committee, but
from his position as national commit
teeman for New York.
Both of these places are held at the
pleasure of the state committee. The
national committeeman, however, can
not take his seat until he has been ap-
proved by the national committee.
David B. Hill will attend the meeting
with many proxies from up the state.
It is alleged that ex-senator Murphy
and Richard Croker are making the
fight on Campbell. Friends of Mr.. Hill
intimate that Campbell is attacked be-
cause of his devotion to Mr.. Bryan but
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Croker have both
declared for Bryan very recently and
the trouble seems to be a continuation
OF the old feud between Hill and Croker.
