Several days ago the evening sheet
published on Fourteenth street, which
has made record for tossing bouquets
at itself, made the announcement that
Mr.. r. NJ Sheats was to be transferred
to Cumberland, Md. So sure was the
writer that change was to be made,
and figuring on the scoop, that he got
Mr.. Sheats connected with position
that he had not the honor of holding.
The article as published stated that
he was to be given the position of gem
eral yard master at the above city,
and that Hr. Hustled, superintendent,
was to have his place as general man
ager of the fifth division. In the first
place, Mr.. Sheats has been superin-
tendent of the Parkersburg and Wheel
ing divisions during the past nine
years, and was never general manager,
as the evening unreliable states. No
such changes as the above were ever
contemplated by the B. & 0. company,
and the party who made up such a
ridiculous story should be placed on an
equal footing With The Parker sburg liar.
" hen Mr.. Sheats was shown the item
announcing his transfer, he stated that
such a move was news to him. He had
just arrived home from Baltimore, and
tho officials thpro had npvnr pDtpr-
tanned such an idea as changing him
to Cumberland Md.
In justice to Mr.. Sheats, it can be
said that he is one of the best men in
the service of the company. He is a
practical railroad man and stands high
with the head officials. This informa-
ton is youched for by one of the head
officers of the road.

STRUCK BY A BRIDGE.

Early yesterday morning a man
named Lutellas Kanier, whose home is
at Chestnut Ridge. Pa, was picked up
under the first B. & o. bridge at
Moundsville. One leg was so badly
mashed that amputation was neces-
sary, and his head and face was badly
bruised. From the mans story he was
riding on freight train and was
struck by the above bridge, where he
laid until picked up. The trucks of
the cars rubbing against his legs is
what caused them to be fractured. He
stood the operation very successfully,
but at this writing it is not known
whether ne will recover or not.

CUBANS BUY GUNS.
In Order to Get the $75 From tn
Government.

Havana, June 15.-Lieut. Col w H
Bisbee paid $50 men at Guanajay yes
terday and there are 500 still unpaid
The arms of those who have been paid
have been delivered to the 7alcalde
Many of those who had no arms de-
manded arms from the mayor but were
refused. The men then assumed a
threatening attitude and the officers in
command ordered the troops to guard
the building and telegraphed to General
Brooke asking permission to extend the
time of payment, as some of the Cubans
entirely destitute and many of them
without means of returning to their
homes.
A guard was Quartered in the town all
night and the signal office was kept
open waiting for the governor generals
message granting an extension of the
time. The Cubans bought all the re-
volvers in town and Cuban officers hav-
ing rifles sold them for as much as $25.
The arms will probably be returned if
the men are not paid as they were only
purchased as a means of obtaining the
paymaster's recognition.
AT CardenaS, Policemen Rodriguez
and Hernendez who were off duty were
gathering fruit about a league from
town when they were attacked by Mar
laws, who escaped from jail in May
Rodriguez was shot through the abdo-
men and retreated to the city. The out
laws were armed with Mauser rifles and
mounted on horses stolen last week. At
Romedios the payment of the Cubans
continues brfskly. Many who gave up
their arms in May have been asking the
alcalde to return them in order to en-
able them to receive payment.

REPORT ISSUED.
State Horticultural Society Book
Limited to 100 Pages.

Secretary w. H. Barnes of the State
Horticultural society has issued a re-
port which contains a record of the pro-
ceedings of the thirty-Second annual
meeting of the state society held in To-
peka last December All papers pre-
scented at the meeting, discussions and
other useful information are found in
the report.
Much important matter has been
omitted from the report owing to the
fact that the legislature limited it to
100 pages. The secretary and the pres
ident. Judge Fred Wellhouse, believe
more space should be given to these
reports and cite the fact that adjoining
states permit the publication of a re-
port carrying from 400 to 600 pages.
Mr.. Barnes has already issued a val
liable report upon the Kansas Apple
and is now preparing another on the
Kansas Peach.

POURING IN.
Protests Against Asylum Location
Kansas Editors Despair

Decatur county, the home of Frank
Reeder, the Populist representative who
stood by Clay Center in the balloting
for the new asylum, has sent long
protest to the governor against the ac-
ton of the committee.
The protest is on the blanks sent out
from Clay Center but it contains about
100 signatures. The signers of the doc
ument are representatives of all poIiti-
cal parties and are leading business
men and citizens.
A western Kansas editor, residing in
the Fifth district, has written a per-
sonaI letter to the governor concerning
the asylum scandal in which he says:
Whats the use of having an invest
igatiOn. We can't find out the facts.
The committee, we know, made a -
good thing out Of the deal and put the
asylum in an out of the way place. So
let 'er go at that and fight it out in the
campaign"
This letter, while it took the governors
breath for moment, amused him very
much.

steps are taken to end the strike of the
smelter employees.
The Omaha and Grant and the Globe
in Denver, the Bimetallic and the Ar
kansas Valley at Leadville, the Filters
and the Colorado smelters at Pueblo
are closed.
The Argo smelter in Denver has COM
piled with the eight hour law and is
still running. The Guggenheim smelter
at Pueblo also is running. The closed
works are under guard but nowhere
have the men made any demonstration.
At Central City the men employed in
the stamp mills are expected to strike
today. These mines have already clos
ed: The Commodore, Amethyst, Bach
elOr, Bachelor No. 2, and Last Chance
mines in the Creole district; the CALI
ope and Hagerty, at Ouray; the Carib-
bean and Montezuma, near Ophir: the
Iron Mask and Black Iron at Red

From all parts of the state come re-
ports that mines are reducing forces.
At Leadville 900 men have been dis
charged and in view of the orders to
ship no more ore to the closed shelters
little except development work is going
on. The loss in wages to the men at
Durango by the II days closing of the
smelter is $780, 900.
Should the mines close all over the
state 500 railroad men will be thrown
out of employment.
Four mines of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, three near Canon City
and one in Pitzin county, have been
shut down on account of wage diff
ferenceS.

DECLINES BIG OFFER.
Rev. C. N. Sheldon offered SIS, 900 For
SO Lectures In Europe.

The modesty, which is known to be
genuine, of Rev. Chas. NJ. Sheldon
keeps from the public a number of good
news items. The popularity of this
now famous author causes him to re-
ceive many f1attering offers to lecture.
These offers are generally met with a
refusal, and in so doing Mr.. Sheldon
tries to carry out the ideas in his book
I'm His Steps,
This paper learns indirectly, but from
an authentic source, that Mr.. Sheldon
has recently received an offer by tele-
gram, followed by a letter, offering him
S., 900 and all his expenses for a series
of fifty lectures in Europe, where sew
eral million copies of In His Steps"
have been issued. When Mr.. Sheldon
received this offer he said: Il cannot
accept it. 1t might ruin the influence of
the book. Furthermore, I am devoted
to my church in Topeka"
Mr.. Sheldon has accepted two invita-
tons for about the middle of July to
lecture at Chautauqua assemblies in
Buffalo and Detroit, but for which he
receives no compensation. 1t is I'M
derstood that Rev. and Mrs. Sheldon
may visit Europe next year.
The trustees of Washburn college re-
Gently decided to honor Mr.. Sheldon
with the degree OF doctor of divinity,
but Mr.. Sheldon heard of the plan and
requested the trustees not TO confer it.

WICHITA MASONIC HOME.
Board Holds It's Annual Meeting and
Reflects officers.

Wichita, June 15.-The board of man
ayers of the Masonic home in this city
held its annual meeting Tuesday.
During the past year $4,000 has been
expended in improvements.
The board decided to build a four
room hospital on the ground owing to
the prevalence of sickness of late
among the inmates. The sick cannot
now be cared for properly, as it is not
possible to separate them from the
other inmates. The new building will
not be an expensive one, but will be
equipped in the best manner and be
large enough to accommodate the sick
of the institution.
The expenses of the institution during
the past year have been $1,000. Dur
