AS is well known, several,
fields of alfalfa in different parts
of this county seem to be dead,
and it has generally been at
tributed to the plant being winter
killed, but Isadore Meyer, who
had fine tract on Upper Crook
ed river, which is nearly all kill
ed out, is of different opinion.
Being anxious to know what had
destroyed the plant, he examin-
ed hundreds of them and found
wherever one was dead, or seem
ingly affected, that the roots
were destroyed to a depth of
from 6 to 10 inches down from
the top by a small white worm
about half an inch long with a
brownish head. The worms APP
parently commence at the crown
and work down, eating the cen
ter of the root, leaving it mere
tube or shell. In pulling up the
plant in his examinations he
found that the root broke off lust
at the point to which the worm
had eaten. They were very
numerous in all stages of devei-
opment. -Prineville Journal.

Gently been reported. An order

the Bible society were jubilant.
Somebody, however, determined
to investigate with the view of
learning how the men in the field

that the Bibles had been used for
making fire-crackers. The
Chinese make the crackers at

Ex- Senator Dubois, seems to
be committing the politicians on
his own responsibility. In a re-
cent letter, written to well
known newspaper man in Idaho,
he says, "Silyer and Bryan will
be the slogan in 1000. Teller is
for silver and Bryan, but is in
favor Of expansion: l am for
silver and Bryan and opposed to
expansion, and hence, expansion
will not be an issue. Bryan will
be elected" Indeed! We are
much pleased to hear from Sir
Oracle Dubois; we are pleased
to know that Idaho has a man so
astute, as to be able to divine all
of these political questions, and to
determine just how the great
leaders Of the country are to stand
long before the issues are made
up. We felt some degree of anx-
city, as to what the issues would
be, and how the great leaders
wonld stand, but we supposed we
would be obliged to wait, at least
fully a half year longer, before
We would know. We were mis-
taken, all of these doubtful ques-
tons are solved, the great Oracle
has OWNED the whole matter and
we now need only conjecture, as
to who will constitute Bryan's
cabinet, and who will be post
master at Shoshone, Shoshone

administration still has little
troubles ofits own. AS the time
draws near for another campaign
somebody is sure to talk too
much. This time Secretary Of
State Mart Patrie has been in
terviewed and, being interviewed,
has dared TO express ideas not
wholly in line with democratic
preconceived ideas of things that
should be. Among other things
Mr.. Patrie says: "There has
never been time when the Sill
yer Republicans have felt that
they were other than true Re-
publicans in every way, based
upon the Republican record prior
to the St. Louis convention. In
the last State convention they de-
clared for expansion, hence we
can find no fault with the present
administrators prosecuting the
war in the Philippines" Such
open heresy to the Organic order
of the universe stirs up the Lewis
ton Tribune to remark that Mr..
Patrie is not playing fair. 1t says
"Mr Patrie is too much Of a Re-
publican to conscientiously act
against that party, and too weak
in his free silver views to be ex-
pected to support the Democracy
with sincerity and sympathy. In
fact Mr.. Patrie fatty expresses
his views when he says. "The
Silver Republicans are not and
will not become Democrats, and
follow any leadership into the
Democratic camp"
Following the trend of press
comment upon this interview, and
also the comment upon the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Hutchinson, it
is evident that the members of
the once happy family are be-
coming estranged. Mfr. Hutch
inson, Lieutenant Governor in
the present administration, was
frank enough to say that though
he did not vote for Mckinley he
would support his war policy in
the Philippines. In comment the
Montpelier Examiner Democrat
ic) says: "It's a foregone con-
clusion that the Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor isn't going to win any
support from the Democrats by |
his great { y effort. They don't
believe that way" The Pocatel- |
% Tribune takes up the billet to
defend the Lieutenant Governor
and says. at is one of the mis-
fortunes Of the Democracy that it
has always tried to check or him
Ter progress"
The comment and criticism
bring out clearly the radical diff
:erences existing between the
wo factions in control of the state
administration, and show that the

4 Young Bride Of Six Weeks is
Abandoned.
Her Husband Deserts Her After
Spending Her Money
SENT TO POOR HOUSE.
Her Family RenOunce Her
Without Pity.
Sick and Helpless Fort Scott
Gives Her s Home.
SENT TO POOR HOUSE.

Fort Scott, Sept 30.-Genevieve Smith,
a young bride of six weeks. was sent
from this city to the poor farm this
morning. Her profiigate husband spent
$3.50 of her money and then abandoned
her, leaving her entirely destitute and
in poor health.
Mrs. Smith is about 10 or 20 years old
and her parents live at Walnut, Kan.
She lived at home, happy and content
ed, until about two months ago, when a
stranger named Geo. Smith happened
across her path and feigned to love her.
She was simple and inexperienced and
accepted his attentions, which were de-
voted from the start Two weeks later
they were married and came to this
city. Smith had no business except to
loaf around saloons. The poor girl did
not know this. She was deceived into
the thought that he was a travelling
man.
Upon their arrival here Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith went to housekeeping in Peck's
Villa. He did nothing but loaf and
spend her money, for which it appears
he married her. Finally she objected
to staying alone as late at night as he
stayed out and they moved to the Ire
mont hotel. One night he did not ap-
pear at the hotel. She was alarmed
about him. The next morning it devel-
Oped that he had been drunk and was
in the calaboOse without means to pay
his way out. She took almost her last
dollar and secured his liberty. A day
or two later he disappeared, leaving her
penniless. She was allowed to remain
al the hotel until she wrote her parents
to secure permission and means to re-
turn home. They answered, renounc-
ing her. Then she secured a humble
home with a family on the north side.
Being unable to work, she became a
burden and the city authorities were
called upon to provide for her. They
referred her case to County Commits
stoner Combs and yesterday he and
Acting Mayor Williams and Marshal
Conway arranged to send her to the
poor farm. She went this morning.

WARRANT FOR HARVEY.
Topeka Young Man Wanted at
Lawrence For Forgery.

Sheriff Moore of Douglas county came
to Topeka Friday afternoon in search
of David Harvey. a young man at one
time we'll thought of in Topeka. but
lately notorious through practicing dis
honest methods. Harvey was in Law
renee this week, and while there it is
said he forged a check for an amount
in the neighborhood of $780,
Moore returned to Lawrence last
night without his man. Harvey was
seen on Kansas avenue at different
times Friday afternoon. but although
Chief Ramsey made a diligent search
for him, he was unable to locate him.
The Lawrence matter is the most ser
ious offense Harvey has so far commit
ted. He has passed several worthless
checks at different places in the past
two years, but through the aid of for
mer friends always managed to keep
out of Jail 1t will probably go hard
with him now if arrested.
Harvey grew up in Topeka, and at
one time went in society here. He
served a brief term in the county jail
for defrauding a hotel out of a board
bill.

two DISCHARGED.
Patrolman Sherm Williams and W. @.
Crawford Lose Their Places.

Patrolman Sherman Williams and
Dog Tax Collector w. c. Crawford will
receive letters from Mayor Drew re-
moving them from their positions.
Crawford is removed on the charge of
drunkenness at Camp Funston while on
duty as special policeman. The charges
were made to Chief Ramsey by Patrol
man McElrOy and the chief presented
them to Mayor Drew. Patrolman Will
Hams is removed upon the recommen-
dalton of Chief Ramsey.
Some time ago Patrolman Hall made
charges that Sergeant Donovan was
warning jointists that they would be
pulled. Chief Ramsey investigated the
matter and says he found that Williams
had been instrumental in having Hall
make the reports. The reason for the
action was supposed by the mayor and
the chief to be the desire of Williams
to become sergeant.
1t is possible that neither of the
places will be filed. Mayor Drew said
that the police force could do well
enough with one man less and that he
would not appoint any one to the va
cancy. He said he would investigate
the work done by the dog tax collector
and if the amount collected justified a
man in that position he would appoint
a collector and otherwise the place
would be vacant.

EMPORIA'S FAIR
Closed With a Big Flower
Parade and Carnival.
A Successful Event Largely
Due to w. A. White.

Emporfa, Sept. 30-The biggest event
that ever occurred within the history of
this town came to an end last night
with the close of the three days street
fair and carnival. Friday the already
enormous crowd was svelled by the ar
rival of thousands from the surround
ing country and from towns along the
railroads passing through here. Excur-
sion trains were run from Ottawa, To-
peka, Moline, Marion. Junction City and
Parsons. MarshaI's military band of
Topeka came down and gave two con-
certs. 1t led the flower parade this
afternoon at $3.50. The parade was ex-
ceptionaIly fine, the number of partici-
pants being about fifty. The judges on
the flower parade were: Mrs. w. T.
Stanley, Mrs. w. Y. Morgan of Hutch
inson, and Charles F. Scott of lola
Their awards were as follows:
TWo-seated carriage-Ffrst, Misses
Kittie and Sabra Whitley; second, Mrs

Marshall Warren. Trap-First, Mrs
William Laupheimer; second Mrs. T.
L. RYAN. The parade was led by Mar
shaITs band, followed by an automobile
in which Governor Stanley occupied a
seat.
There was no lack of amusement for
the people, and it didn't cost a cent. If
there wasn't a band playing in one band
stand there was in another, as brass
band music was one of the leading fea-
lures of the day. John Marshalls band

DEWEY THROWS A KISS.
Salute Is Returned by Crowds of
Admiring Children.

New York. Sept. 3O.-On Seventy
second street during the parade today
a number of school children on a stand
built especially for them began to sing
as the head of the parade approached.
They first struck up in childish treble,
"Unfurl the Starry Banner" When
the sailors of the Olympia were seen
with Admiral Dewey the children arose
and sang Hail the Conquering Hero
Comes" The song was delivered with
a good deal of vim, the children beating
time with their flags.
As Admiral Dewey saw and heard the
barred his head. The children stopped
singing One little girl tried to throw
him a rose, but it fell short. A police
man picked it up and handed it to the
admiral who kept waving his hat at
the children.
The carriage stopped for a short time
and Admiral Dewey threw a kiss to the
children, who began cheering and
throwing kisses. The carriage contain
ing Dewey moved on and the enthusi-
asm, which had been at fever heat,
subsidized little. The other admirals
and officers were cheered by the chill
dren.
Admiral Sampson was cheered by the
crowd. The children were singing
The Star Spangled Banner" when the
carriage off Admiral SchIey came up.
The crowd again became frantic Schley
was obliged to stand in his carriage.
He like Dewey waved his chapeau at
over him. The carriage of Schley
stopped for a few minutes and during
that time a perfect storm of applause
greeted him

MILLS OPENING.
Handsome Dry Goods Store Visited
by Many People.

The opening of the Mills Dry Goods
company was held Friday and the store
was thronged from the time it opened
in the morning, until it closed in the
evening. The windows were constantly
surrounded with crowds of women anx-
iOus to view the handsome gowns in
side In the south window were sew
eral street costumes and an opera cloak
of black velvet, severely plain and
reaching to the floor; it was lined with
a pale heliotrope brocaded satin; the
collar was of chinchilla and the yoke
of heavy ecru lace. The north window,
however proved the more attractive,
as it contained a beautiful wax figure,
gOwned in one of the most elegant cos
tunes ever seen in Topeka, the eSti-
mated value being five hundred dollars.
The gown was a soft gray, satin
striped faflle, with a long train; the
skirt was draped with a pointed over
skirt of duchess lace. valued at three
hundred dollars. The low cut, bodice
had a bertha of duchess lace caught at
ribbon and rhine stone buckle: around
the top was a soft fold of pink chiffon,
and the belt was of satin ribbon of the
same shade.
On reaching the second floor one felt
that he had made a mistake and wan
dered into some social function; the
decorations were of American Beauty
roses and palms. and Stefnberg's ar
chestra stationed at the rear of the
room played softly during the day.
On the third floor are carpets, cur
tains and all kinds of draperies, while
the basement is devoted to comforts,
blankets and califoes. Since the re-
modelling of the store there are four
floors in active use.
