There seems to be another opportu- nity in store for Tucson, says the Star, in securing large smelting and redue- tion plant. New York parties are figuring on the proposition on account of the vast copper field which is being developed in the mining districts contiguous to Tucson.

IT looks like the administration has "bitten of more than it can ehaw" in the Philippines. According to General Lawton, who is no pessimist, it will require standing army of 100, 900 men to "pacify" those islands. The only good thing about the whole matter lies in the fact that the McHanna reign will soon be a thing of the past.

LOST A FORTUNE.
Snug Sum of $4,000 Blown
From an Express Car.
Was a Package of Reno County
Bonds.
OWNED BY THE STATE
Messenger Saw Bundle Disap-
pear But Didn't Know VaIue.
Bonds Found Next Day In the
Weeds by Track.

1t is not often that $4,000 can lie
around on a Kansas prairie for two
days without being cared for or ap-
propriated in some manner, but that is
what happened this week. Seventy-six
thousand dollars worth of Reno county
bonds lay out on the prairie over Sun
day and were unmoIested. 1t happened
this way:
The state school fund commissioners
had arranged to purchase the issue,
which were Reno county ~efundinS
bonds. The bonds were prepared by a.
V. LindeIl, bond clerk in Superintend-
ent Nelson's office, and were to be sent
out to be approved by the Reno county
officials on last Saturday. 1t is a big
job to prepare the bonds, but they were
got off by express on time.
On Monday Superintendent Nelson
received a telegram from the Reno
county commissioners asking why the
bonds had not been sent. Superintend-
ent Nelson replied that they had been
The Reno county people wired back
that they had never been received and
they had no trace of them.
superintendent Nelson called >on the
express office for an explanation. The
express people looked up their books
and said that a package answering that
description had left the Topeka office
for Hutchinson on Saturday. The mat
ter began to look serious and the eX-
press company investigated 1IS TecOTQS
to ascertain what messenger was on
that train. A telegram was sent him
asking If he knew anything of a certain
package bound for Hutchinson from
Topeka. He replied that he didn't
know for sure, but some little old pack
age blew out of the express car door
as he was west bound on Saturday. and
it might have been the package wanted.
He further told the company to ascer-
tain the value of the package and he
would pay it out of his salary. The
company wired back ''s76, ,OOO,' and the
express messengers hair stood on end.
The first thing he did was to get
layOff and take the first train for the
station nearest the place where he re-
membered the package disappearing.
He went out to the exact spot, and after
hunting for some time found the miss
ing package in the weeds by the side of
the track, exactly where it had blown.
He had had the car door open on ac-
count of the heat, and a Kansas zephyr
had come along and whisked the pack
age out the open door The messenger
did not think it of enough consequence
to stop the train, but he will never make
the same mistake again.

DOWN THE RIVER.
Mckinley Party Boards the
Mascot For Springfield.

Holyoke, Mass, June 21.-The closing
day of the presidents visit to this city
as far as the weather is concerned, was
the finest of all. Not a cloud obscured
the sky and the air was cool and brac-
ing.
The final goodbyes were said at the
Whiting home and at 1915 the entire
party went on board the trolley car
RocksimmOn and started for South
Holyoke. Here, boarding the little
steamer Mascot, they were met by a
reception committee from Springfield
and the trip down the river 20 that city
was entered upon at 10:40
Immense crowds were present both at
the Whiting mansion and at South
Holyoke to see the president and there
was much cheering and cries of Good
bye" all along the route.
The Mascot was due at Springfield at
11:3O. An elaborate programme has
been provided there.
Just before the president reached the
boat landing there was a double line of
over a thousand children upon the side
walk, cheering and waving flags. The
president remarked it was the crowning
pleasure of his visit to the city and
should always remember.
ARRIVAL AT SPRINGFIELD.
Springfield, Mass. June 21.-The city
was .gaily decorated today IN honor of
President McKinley's visit. Vast
thrOngs filled the streets, all eager to
see the president. The little steamer
Mascot arrived at her dock at II 80 and
was accorded hearty reception by the
f1Otilla of gaily decorated boats which
clustered about the craft and from the
thousands who lined the river bank. At
HOlyoke a reception committee from

were driven through the armorv
grounds where a national salute was
fired, and then they were taken 20 the

feature of the drive was the children
from the various schools massed in
front of their buildings and at each
place two little girls advanced and
placed a handsome bouquet in the
hands of the President and Mrs Nc
Kinley.
After luncheon the ladies remained at
the club building while the president
and other gentlemen were taken to the
city hall, where a large platform had
been erected.

BALM FOR THE BLIND.
Fifty Dollars In Sinners For Each of
the Afflicted.

New York, June 21.-This was the day
the blind were made happy in the met
rOpOliS-that is, so far gold could
console them for the loss of that which
is most valuable to mankind. Annually
the city gives to each of it's blind citi-
zens $50 in gold, and the scenes Witness
ed a the office of the outdoor poor bur-
eau were truly pathetic.
Big bags OF gold covered the desks.
and from early morning blind men and
women. all accompanied by friends or
relativeS-fOr many never dare to feel
the outer air alOne-came and received
the bounty. 1t is a great lift to some
of the 1,500 blind citizens of the metro
polls. They were of all sizes, sexes, all
cOlors, all ages. Some were whole and
in good health, but many had more
than one aff1iction and carried crutches
and canes, or were haggard and pale
from disease. Each one had postal
card telling them to call. They handed
these to the paymaster, who handed
out the coin-usually two twenties and
a $40 gold piece. To receive the bounty
every applicant must be totally blind
must be a citizen and must not have
been an inmate of any city institution,
aside from a hospital. The charter of
New York city gives the board of ap-
portiOnment the power to set aside
$4,000 for the blind. Thus far, includ-
ing today, $4,000 has been paid. Those
who were una BILE to apply today because
of sickness, will be paid at their homes
and there will probably be a second
list of those who have been shut out
for certain reasons. Eyesight is, of
course, what these unfortunate pine for
but this charity goes a long ways to-
erers who are shut out from the light

Solved at Last.

make an adverse report on the ques-
ton of accepting the SAC, 900 bid but an
effort will be made, nevertheless, to
have definite action favorable to ac-
cepting the proposition taken. 1t is be-
lieved that a majority of the members
of the council favor accepting the $4,000
bid if no better ones are received 1t is

from 81. Park. the quarantine officer
at Santiago, reporting the existence at
that port of fourteen cases of yellow
fever and four deaths from that cause
This is not the first report the marine
hospital service has received of the ex-
istence of the scourge at Santiago.
Five days ago five cases were report
ed There has not been time for mail
report since the outbreak. In addition
to the number of cases and deaths, DR..
Parks cable today conveyed the in
formation that the American troops had
evacuated the barracks and their bed
ding and baggage were being disin
fected aboard the hospital bark Rough
Rider. which is fitted with a complete
disinfecting plant The fact that the
season had advanced thus far with the
appearance only of a few sporadic cases
of yellow fever led to the general hope
that the improved sanitary condition of
Santiago, Havana and other Cuban
cities since the American occupation
might result in preventing an outbreak.
