According to the Wichita Eagle
the real, radical difference between q
town man and farm man in Kansas
is that you can't get the town man to
acknowledge that he is as poor as
he is and you can't get the farm man
to admit that he has as much money
as he has..-Kansas City Journal.

HAVE A COAL FAMINE
Kansas City, Kansas, Paying $4. 25 a
Ton and Fuel Hard to Secure.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct25.-There has
been a big increase in the price of coal
lately. Those who have been ordering
their winters supply of fuel during the
past few days have wondered why the
price is so high and why the full order
is not filed. The fact is that all grades
of coal are from so cents to $1.25 per
ton higher at the present time than
they were at the same time last year,
and even at this the local dealers are
not able to supply the demand. They
say that there is not enough coal in
the two Kansas Citys to supply the
demand for AZ hours in case a cold
wave should visit this section of coun-
try.
Prices went up Friday all over the
two cities just 25 cents ton, with but
one grade of coal on the market to
amount to anything. That is the Mis-
souri, coal from Rich Hill and Lexing-
and $3.50. Today the dealers are get
sell, and the people are clamoring for
more.
The Union Pacific has over 1000 cars
Kansas City, Kan, and the big pile
is accommodating every day, while the
consumers can not get enough to meet
their small needs. The Missouri Pacific
and other roads have their yards filed
with coal which they are saving for
their own use. 1t appears that they
have expected the present famine and
have been preparing for any shortness
that might occur in their own supply
by laying in a big stock for them
selves.

Forty years ago Mr.. Kaufman and
his two brothers, Richard, of StoteS-
with their father on a farm in Seneca
county, Ohio, and in 1860 their father
sold out at public sale and brought his
family to Kansas. They had entirely
forgotten that he had placed some of
the notes. taken at the sale, in the
hands of a friend for collection.
About two weeks ago Postmaster Ell
don Lowe received a letter from one
George Myers. of Fremont, Ohio, asking
if Charley, or Richard or William
Kaufman received mail at the Fort
Scott postofice. Mr.. Kaufman replied
that Charles Kaufman did, and a few
days later Mr.. Kaufman received n
letter from Mr.. Myers inqufring if he
were a brother of Richard and Will
liam kaufman, and if they once lived
in Seneca county, etc. Mr.. kaufman
did not recognize the writer as one of
his old neighbOrs, but replied in the
affirmative. Today he received anOth-
er letter in which was enclosed a money
order for $5. The letter explained that
Mr.. Kaufman's father had left some
notes in the writer's hands for collec-
tion and that he had collected but So
on them. Most of the parties who ex-
ecuted the notes, he said had gone to
war or moved away. He had kept the

could not and now he thinks it is about
time to close the account.

THE TWENTIETH VOLUNTEERS

Written for the State JournaLI
They are cOmingl They are cOningI Flash

Dart the rocket! Blaze the beacon! Peal
Tell the udfngs in your papers till the
headlines glow with frei
Speed the word to weeping mother, yearn-

They are. coming! They are coming, from
the languOr of the east,
Where Nature, smiling in the sun, pre-
pares the luscious feast,
And pOurS for man her ample store and
asks from man the leaSti
But the West will spread them tables
strain the grape and set the yeast
They are coming back to city and to
hamlet meath the hill;
And the heart that laughed at carna ge
.hungers for the laughing ri1lt
They have barred the arm for slaughter
with a soldiers iron will;
But the spirit in their bOSomS is the hu-
man spirit still!
They are coming, they are coming, from
the furrowed fields of fight;
But though the hand that pIOughed was
red. the heart within was Whitei
And though they fought like demons,
they were harbingers of light.
For the torch of war they carried lit a
star in Pagan night
They are coming. they are coming, to the

When sunset paints the hillside or when
autumn drops her seed.

men of Saxon breed,
When church-bells chime in notes sublime

RATHER HEARTLESS.
Kansas City Man Who Would Be
Happy If Grant Gillett Died

A Kansas City creditor of Grant Gil
lett, the cattle pIunger, in Topeka to-
day rubbed his hands gleefully and ex-
pressed himself by saying:
''I hope Gillett dies with the smallpox
from which he is now suffering"
Two or three men and a Journal re-
porter evidently indicated their surprise
at such an unnatural utterance, as the
gentleman explained his meaning by
this remark:
"Gilett did me up in good style but
I have now an assignment of 100000 of
his life insurance which is paid up for
two years. If the man dies I'll get my
money and be square with him That's

Much rivalry is growing up among
European nations in their efforts to
win the smiles of Uncle Sam. England
forces Canada to modify her demands
in the Alaskan boundary matter. On
the same day Russia agrees to arbi-
trate the indemnity dispute in connec-
tion with the seizure of American seal
fishers near the Russian shore. As the
relations between Russia and England
become more strained, each endeavors
to make sure of the friendship of the
United States. It is daily becoming
clear what it means to be a world power
such as this country became as the re-
suit of the war with Spain.

The dispatches from Manila show
that reconnaissance in the vicinity Of
towns recently captured and then
abandoned by American troops reveal
the fact that they have all been re-oc-
cupied by the insurgents. Many of
them were taken at a considerable cost
in wear and tear on the army as well as
some loss of life. How much longer is
such foOlishness to continue? The ex-
planation which usually accompanies
the accounts of these expeditions is
that they were undertaken for the pur-
pose of Furnishing the enemy. Perhaps

who cut off his nose to punish his face

ROBBED OF $3.50.
A Kansas Dentist an Easy Victim at
Arkansas City.

Arkansas City. Oct 25.-Dr. F. r.
Stewart, a dentist. who lives in the
northern part of the state. was robbed
in this city yesterday of $3.50 in money,
two watches and a revolver. He was at
Wichita, and while there became ac-
quainted with five men who accOmpa-
MED him to this city. The doctor, who
is a drinking man and who has taken
the Kelley cure, but without effect,
went out with one of the confidence
men and drank to excess. When they
returned to the hotel the doctor insisted
that the stranger occupy the same
room with him. In the morning it was
discovered that he had been robbed of
$3.50. The robbers left the hotel before
daylight. Before the doctor and his
companion went to bed they took sew
eral drinks, and it is thought the
stranger drugged the doctor. No trace
of the thieves has been found.

The Continental insurance company
has advertised a reduction of rs per

ry the war to disastrous conclusions
The company announced it's readiness
TO do business today but a local agent
has not been licensed by the insurance
department r. B. Warren, a special
agent for the company at Hutchinson, is
here. The representatives of the com
pany claim that he has been author
lied to take care of the local business
which the company expects by reason
of the reductions.
The company advertises its headquar-

Thomas, who is the agent for several
union companies. Some of the opposi-
pairing to notify Mr.. Thomas compan-

a fire under him.
The insurance men in Topeka held a
meeting this morning to discuss the
cut in the price of insurance. Nothing
was done, however, and the meeting ad-
Journed until this afternoon.
The local agents have wired for the
special and state agents and tomorrow
will bring a crowd Of insurance men to
the scene of the hostilities.
The insurance men, while alarmed at
the situation, are not additionally dis
turbed by the result of today's war
fare. A canvass of the insurance Of
fees reveals the fact that not a single

to take advantage of the reduction
made by the insurgent company.
A further effort will be made to COM

telling where the matter will end.
